Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachinko machine”) or a spinning-type gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachislot machine”).

  In the game area formed on the front side of the game board, a start opening and obstacle nails, etc. are arranged, and when a game ball as a game medium wins in the start opening, a big win lottery is performed based on that and the result of the big win lottery is predetermined. In the case of a result, a gaming machine is known in which a gaming state advantageous to the player is generated.

  In this type of gaming machine, a frame-shaped center frame is incorporated in the approximate center of the game board, and the display screen of the effect display device is visually recognized through an opening window in the center frame. Then, by displaying various effect images on the effect display device in accordance with the game state and the lottery result of the big hit lottery, the player has a sense of expectation for the lottery and the interest of the player is enhanced.

  In addition, as shown in Patent Document 1, a game device that includes an accessory device having a mechanically movable movable decorative portion, and that enhances the interest of the player by performing effects by the movement of the movable decorative portion. The machine is also known. In addition to the effect display device described above, there is also known a gaming machine that includes a symbol display device that displays a predetermined symbol and that notifies a gaming state and a lottery result by the displayed symbol. When both the above-mentioned accessory device and the symbol display device are provided, a space for arranging the accessory device and the symbol display device on the outside of the center frame or inside the center frame of the game board is secured. There is a need to.

  However, the space outside or inside the center frame of the game board is limited, and the accessory device must be arranged so that the movable decorative part can move. Was limited. In particular, in the case where the movable decoration part is projected to the symbol display device side during the production operation, the accessory device and the symbol display device must be arranged apart from each other, and arranged in a limited space. May become difficult.

  In view of the above, the present invention has an object to provide a gaming machine that can be arranged relatively easily even if the arrangement space for the accessory device and the symbol display device is limited. It is what.

Means 1: “A symbol display device having a display area on the front surface of the housing and displaying a symbol in the display area;
A movable decorative portion disposed adjacent to the symbol display device and supported so as to be movable toward the symbol display device; and an accessory device having a drive mechanism for moving the movable decorative portion based on a game state. ,
The symbol display device has an opening into which at least a part of the movable decorative portion is inserted on the surface of the housing on the side of the accessory device. ''
It is characterized by that.

  Here, as the “design”, a character, a picture, a number, a character, or the like can be exemplified. In addition, the positional relationship between the “symbol display device” and the “community device” is not particularly limited, but the accessory device can be arranged on the upper side or the lower side, the left side or the right side of the symbol display device. It is. In addition, the “movable decorative portion” may move linearly or may move along a curve such as an arc. Further, the “drive mechanism” can include a motor or a solenoid.

  According to the configuration of the means 1, the accessory device and the symbol display device are arranged adjacent to each other, and in the accessory device, the movable decorative portion moves based on the gaming state. In the symbol display device, a display area is formed on the front surface of the casing, and the symbol is displayed in the display area.

  By the way, the movable decoration part in the accessory device moves toward the symbol display device. An opening is provided on a side surface of the case in the symbol display device, particularly on the side of the accessory device, and at least a part of the movable decorative portion that has moved toward the symbol display device passes through the inside of the case through the opening. Inserted into. Note that a part of the movable decorative portion may always be inserted into the housing regardless of the moving position of the movable decorative portion.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since the opening of a size that allows the movable decorative portion to be inserted is formed in the housing of the symbol display device, the accessory device and the symbol display device are brought close to each other. It becomes possible to arrange. That is, since a space necessary for moving the movable decorative portion is secured in the symbol display device, it is easy to arrange the symbol display device and the accessory device in a limited space.

Means 2: In the constitution of means 1,
“The symbol display device
A light emitting board on which a plurality of light emitting means for projecting light to the player side through the display area is mounted;
Provided in the display area, and with a transmission means for displaying the design by transmitting the light projected from the light emitting means,
The movable decorative part inserted into the opening is accommodated behind the transmission means,
The light emitting substrate is formed with a notch for securing a space for accommodating the movable decorative portion. ''
It is characterized by that.

  Here, the “light emitting means” is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include an LED, an incandescent lamp, a light bulb, a fluorescent lamp, and a neon lamp. As the “transmitting means”, a device that can transmit predetermined light, such as a color filter, can be applied.

  According to the configuration of the means 2, the symbol display device includes a light emitting substrate on which a plurality of light emitting means are mounted and a transmitting means provided in the display area, from the light emitting means to the player side (the transmitting means side). When light is projected onto the light, the transmission means displays the design by transmitting the light. As described above, the symbol display device is configured to display the symbol by projecting light from the light emitting means arranged behind the transmissive means arranged on the front surface side of the housing. By configuring so that the light projected from is not blocked by the movable decorative portion, the movable decorative portion can be accommodated behind the transmitting means.

  Specifically, the light emitting substrate is formed with a notch for securing a housing space for the movable decorative portion. By providing the cutout portion in this way, the space between the transmission means and the light emitting substrate communicates with the space behind the light emitting substrate, and even if the movable decorative portion is relatively large, the movable decorative portion Can be accommodated. Even when the movable decorative part is accommodated in the housing, since the light emitting means is not arranged after the movable decorative part, the movable decorative part does not block the light, regardless of the movable position of the movable decorative part. The amount of light directed to the transmission means can be made constant, and the display state of the symbol can be stabilized.

Means 3: In the constitution of means 2,
"The light emitting means is capable of projecting light of a plurality of types of colors,
The transmitting means transmits only the first color light projected from the light emitting means, so that the first transmitting means for displaying the first design and the second color different from the first color. It is provided with a second transmission means for displaying the second symbol by transmitting only light. ''
It is characterized by that.

  Here, the “plurality of colors” may be any of the three primary colors of light (red, green, and blue), or may be an intermediate color obtained by mixing any of these. The “first color” and the “second color” are not particularly limited as long as they are different from each other, and may be the three primary colors of light or an intermediate color. For example, so-called achromatic colors such as white, black, and gray may be used, and chromatic colors such as red, green, and blue may be used.

  The “first transmission means” and the “second transmission means” are not limited as long as they can transmit (filter) only predetermined light. For example, a color filter or the like Is applicable. Furthermore, the arrangement method of the “first transmission means” and the “second transmission means” is not limited in any way, and may be arranged on the same plane, as viewed from the player in the front-rear direction. The arrangement position may be different. Moreover, you may arrange | position independently and may arrange | position partly overlapping.

  Therefore, according to the configuration of the means 3, in the symbol display device, it is possible to project light of a plurality of types from the light emitting means, and light is emitted from the light emitting means to the display area. A first transmission means and a second transmission means are provided. When the first color light is projected from the light emitting means, the light is transmitted only through the first transmitting means, thereby displaying the first symbol. On the other hand, when the second color light is projected from the light emitting means, the light is transmitted through only the second transmitting means, thereby displaying a second design different from the first design. As described above, since the symbols can be switched only by changing the color of the light emitted from the light emitting means, it is possible to configure the apparatus very simply. For this reason, even when adopting a configuration in which symbols are switched based on the gaming state, it is possible to relatively easily secure a space for accommodating the movable decorative portion in the casing of the symbol display device.

Means 4: In the configuration of means 3,
“The first transmission means and the second transmission means are configured as one optical display member formed on the same surface,
The overlapping portion in which the first transmission means and the second transmission means are overlapped is configured to transmit at least the light of the first color and the second color, respectively.
It is characterized by that.

  Here, “overlapping” includes the case where the first transmission unit is entirely overlapped with the second transmission unit, or the case where some overlap each other. In addition, “at least the light of the first color and the second color can be transmitted” may mean that the light transmits only the first color and the second color, and further transmits other colors. It may be a thing.

  In addition, as a method of forming “one optical display member formed on the same surface”, for example, a multicolor molding technique which is one of resin injection molding techniques formed by bonding two transmission means together And a method of applying a color printing technique.

  By the way, as the arrangement method of the first transmission means and the second transmission means, two members (a first member including the first transmission means and a second member including the second transmission means formed on separate surfaces). A method of arranging the members) in an overlapping manner is conceivable. However, according to this method, since the thicknesses of the two members are superimposed, the thickness of the entire optical display device is increased, and there is a problem that the space for accommodating the movable decorative portion is reduced accordingly. In addition, the amount of light emitted from the light emitting means is attenuated, and the display tends to be relatively dark especially in the portion facing the notch.

  On the other hand, according to the configuration of the means 4, two transmission means (first transmission means and second transmission means) are arranged on the same surface, that is, on one member (or a part thereof is overlapped). Deploy. As a result, the thickness of the entire optical display device can be made thinner and more compact than when two members are overlapped, and the arrangement space for the movable decorative portion can be increased. Further, since the two transmission means are formed on the same surface, the decrease in the transmittance can be reduced, and a clear display can be performed even in the portion facing the notch.

  By the way, the first transmission means transmits only the first color, and the second transmission means transmits only the second color. In this state, when the first transmission means and the second transmission means are arranged in an overlapping manner, the overlapping portion may not transmit both the first color and the second color. This is because when the first color is projected from the light emitting means, the first color is blocked by the second transmitting means, and when the second color is projected, the second color is blocked by the first transmitting means. As a result, there is a problem in that either one of the first symbol or the second symbol (or both) is not displayed normally due to lack of the color of the overlapping portion.

  On the other hand, according to the structure of the means 4, the overlapping part of the first transmission means and the second transmission means is configured so that the first color light and the second color light can be transmitted. Accordingly, the colors of the overlapping portions are not lost, and various symbols can be displayed in a desired color and a desired form, so that the two types of symbols can be easily distinguished.

Is formed. For this reason, when the accessory device is assembled, it is possible to insert the movable decorative portion into the housing through the back side opening portion while assembling the accessory device from the rear to the symbol display device. Therefore, even if it is a case where it comprises so that a movable decoration part is always accommodated in a housing | casing, it becomes possible to assemble | attach easily. Moreover, since the rear of the notch is opened, the space for disposing the movable decorative portion can be further expanded.

Means 6: In the configuration of means 5,
“The accessory device further includes a support wall portion that slidably supports the movable decorative portion and forms a rear wall that is a background of the movable decorative portion,

  The support mechanism of the pivot pin 633 using the upper support fitting 20 and the lock member 27 in this example is such that the pivot pin 633 is inserted into the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 20c so that the stopper portion 27a The tip side faces the stop drooping portion 20f at the inlet end (in this state, there is a slight gap between the tip side of the stopper portion 27a and the stop drooping portion 20f so that the abutting portion is in contact). In a normal shaft support state, the shaft support pin 633 positioned in the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support rod hole 20c formed by bending and the tip surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a are respectively provided. The center is in a state of being offset in an oblique direction and facing each other. In this normal shaft support state, the shaft support pin 633 supporting the heavy body frame 3 is in contact with the tip end portion of the support saddle hole 20c. Since almost no load is applied to the distal end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a, the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 is not loaded. In addition, since the arcuate tip end surface 27d is provided at the tip of the stopper portion 27a, the lock member 27 is smoothly rotated when the operation portion 27b is rotated to rotate the lock member 27. It has become. In the drawing, the center of the arc of the tip surface 27d is the center of the rivet 28 (the rotation center of the lock member 27).

  Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in the direction in which the shaft supporting pin 633 is pulled out along the inclination of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 20c and comes into contact with the arcuate tip end surface 27d, the acting force F is Component force F1 acting on the contact portion between the pin 633 and the arcuate tip end surface 27d (in the normal direction of the arc of the tip end surface 27d), and one side of the inclined hole portion of the shaft support pin 633 and the support hole 20c When divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the inner surface, the direction of the component force F1 faces the center of the rivet 28 (the rotation center of the lock member 27). The moment for rotating the tip part in the direction away from the support protruding piece 20b (clockwise in the figure) does not act, and the pivot pin 633 is formed between the tip part of the stopper part 27a of the lock member 27 and the inclined hole part of the support collar hole 20c. Maintain the state of being pinched between the inner surface of one side. To. Therefore, the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 is not always loaded even in a normal shaft support state or in a state where the acting force of the shaft support pin 633 is applied to the lock member 27, and is an elastic formed integrally with synthetic resin. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation due to creep of the piece 27c and to prevent the pivot pin 633 from coming off from the support hole 20c over a long period of time. Even if an excessive force is applied and the distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 is rotated in a direction away from the support projecting piece 20b (clockwise in the figure), one side of the distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a. Does not rotate in a direction in which it comes into contact with the stop drooping portion 20f and disengages any further, so that the lock member 27 does not protrude beyond the support protruding piece 20b.

  Even if the shape of the distal end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a is not an arc, the position where the rotational moment does not occur due to the action of the component force F1 or the distal end portion of the lock member 27 faces the outside of the support protruding piece 20b. By positioning the rotation center of the lock member 27 (the axis fixed by the rivet 28) at a position where a rotational moment to rotate is generated, no load is applied to the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 at all times. Since the one side of the tip end of the stopper portion 27a only abuts against the stop drooping portion 20f even when the member 27 rotates, the present applicant points out that the lock member 27 does not protrude outside the support protruding piece 20b. I have confirmed.

  The action of the lock member 27 of this example will be specifically described with reference to FIG. As a premise that the main body frame 3 is pivotally supported on the outer frame 2 so as to be freely opened and closed, a lower support bracket is mounted on a main body frame pivot support hole (not shown) formed in a main body frame pivot support bracket 644 (see FIG. 63). 21 support protrusions 21d need to be inserted. Under such a premise, as shown in FIG. 16A, the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support fitting 630 of the main body frame 3 is pressed against the side surface of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27, thereby pushing As shown in FIG. 16B, the lock member 27 rotates counterclockwise while deforming the elastic piece 27c, so that the shaft support pin 633 can be inserted into the support rod hole 20c. Then, when the shaft support pin 633 reaches the head space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support flange 20c, as shown in FIG. 16C, the shaft support pin 633 and the tip side surface of the stopper portion 27a do not contact each other. Therefore, the lock member 27 is urged by the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c and rotates in the clockwise direction, and the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 returns to the normal state again and closes the inlet portion of the support hole 20c. The distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a faces the shaft support pin 633 so that the shaft support pin 633 does not fall out of the support saddle hole 20c.

  This state is maintained even when the main body frame 3 is completely closed or during the normal opening / closing operation of the main body frame 3 as shown in FIG. Next, in order to remove the pivot pin 633 from the support saddle hole 20c, as shown in FIG. 16E, the finger is inserted into the back surface of the support protrusion piece 20b, and the operation portion 27b of the lock member 27 is turned counterclockwise. By rotating, the lock member 27 rotates against the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c, and the distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a is retracted from the support rod hole 20c, so that the shaft support pin 633 is supported. It can be taken out from the hole 20c. Thereafter, the main body frame 3 is lifted, and the main body frame 3 is detached from the outer frame 2 by releasing the engagement between the main body frame shaft support hole formed in the main body frame shaft support metal 644 and the support protrusion 21d of the lower support metal 21. It can be removed from.

  As described above, in the outer frame 2 of this example, the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 constituting the outline of the outer frame 2 are made of wood, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of a lightweight metal ( For example, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in an island facility lined up in a game hall, it is necessary to perform an operation of fixing it at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical plane of the island. However, since such an operation is performed by nailing nails to the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the island, the nails can be easily nailed, and the pachinko machine 1 can be used without problems in existing island facilities. It can be installed. In addition, since the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of lightweight metal (for example, aluminum alloy) extrusion mold material, it becomes possible to form a thin wall while maintaining strength as compared with a conventional wooden outer frame. The left and right widths when viewed from the front of the peripheral wall portion 605 (see FIG. 63, etc.) of the main body frame 3 adjacent to the inside of the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be widened, and the game board 4 has a large horizontal dimension. Can be mounted on the main body frame 3, and at the same time, the game area 1100 of the game board 4 can be formed large.

  Further, the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12, 13 constituting the outline of the outer frame 2 are connected by a connecting member 14, and the connecting member 14 is connected to the side frame plates 12, 13. Since it is fixed in close contact with the inner surface and the connecting member 14 is engaged with the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, the assembly strength of the outer frame 2 can be increased, and it is sturdy. It can be made into a rectangular frame. Further, after the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are connected by the connecting member 14, when the upper support fitting 20 is attached at a predetermined position, as shown in FIG. Since there is no member projecting outward from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the frame plates 10, 11, 12, and 13, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in an island facility of a game hall (not shown), an adjacent device (for example, It can be attached in close contact with the adjacent ball lending machine.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 25, the door frame base main body 110 is provided with a plurality of mounting bosses 110e projecting forward for fixing the decoration units 200, 240, 280, the dish unit 300, and the like. In addition, a large number of attachment holes for attaching the handle bracket 140 and the like are formed at appropriate positions. Further, the door frame base main body 110 has an attachment portion 110g for attaching the speaker bracket 132 for attaching the side speaker 130 and an attachment hole 110h (see FIG. 18 etc.) for attaching the side speaker cover 338 at appropriate positions. Is formed.

  In addition, the door frame base main body 110 includes a lower dish ball supply port 310g and a foul cover unit 540 in the dish unit base 310 of the dish unit 300, which will be described later, between the ball feeding unit mounting recess 112 and the substrate mounting part 118. A rectangular ball passage opening 110f penetrating in the front-rear direction is provided at a position corresponding to the two-ball outlet 544b.

  Furthermore, the door frame base main body 110 is formed on the front side above the left and right speaker mounting portions 111 and includes a shallow dish-shaped crime prevention recess 120 that is recessed substantially backward in a triangular shape. A security member 121 formed in a shallow box shape is inserted into the security recess 120 from the front side. The security member 121 is formed in a shallow box shape whose front side is opened by bending a metal plate. Thereby, in order to perform an illegal act with respect to the inside of the pachinko machine 1, for example, it is made of a metal that can be drilled with a thin drill or the like from the joint portion between the side decoration units 200, 240 and the dish unit 300. It can be blocked by the crime prevention member 121 and can prevent an illegal act.

  The pair of side speakers 130 in the door frame base unit 100 is not shown in detail, but the intersection of the central axes is a predetermined distance from the center of the game area 1100 to the front in front view (for example, 0.2 m to 1). .5 m), the sound is delivered most efficiently to the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1. In addition, the side speaker 130 mainly outputs middle and high range sounds, and is disposed at a position as far away from the pachinko machine 1 as possible in the left-right direction. By outputting different related sounds from the side speaker 130, it is possible to output a sound with a high stereo feeling.

  The outer periphery of these side speakers 130 is sandwiched between a substantially annular speaker bracket 132 disposed on the front side and a speaker mounting portion 111 of the door frame base body 110 disposed on the rear side, so that the door frame It can be attached to the base body 110. The speaker bracket 132 is attached to the attachment portion 110g of the door frame base body 110 from the front side with a predetermined screw.

  The door frame base substrate cover 195 in the door frame base unit 100 is formed in a thin box shape with the front side open as shown in FIGS. A step portion 195a that is recessed forward is provided at a position slightly below the center. A wiring holding member 197 is rotatably attached to the step portion 195a of the door frame base substrate cover 195.

  On the other hand, the wiring holding member 197 in the door frame base unit 100 is formed in a plate shape extending in the horizontal direction and having an I-shaped cross section as shown in FIGS. It is formed of a relatively hard synthetic resin. Further, as shown in the figure, the wiring holding member 197 includes a plurality of holding holes 197a (three in the upper and lower parts in this example) at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction at both upper and lower ends. The wiring holding member 197 has an end portion on the side where the door frame 5 is pivotally supported by the main body frame 3 in a state where the door frame 5 is assembled, and a step 195 a on the rear surface of the door frame base substrate cover 195 in the vertical direction. Although the detailed illustration is omitted, the free end side of the wiring holding member 197 rotates to the door frame base substrate cover 195 side, so that the wiring holding member 197 is rotated. The door frame base substrate cover 195 can be accommodated in the stepped portion 195a.

  This wiring holding member 197 has a predetermined bundling in a holding hole 197a which is paired up and down with the wiring cord 196 for electrically connecting the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 being arranged on the rear surface side. By inserting the band 198 and tightening the wiring cord 196 together with the wiring holding member 197 by the binding band 198, the wiring cord 196 can be held (see FIGS. 1 and 28).

  When the wiring holding member 197 of this example is rotated in the direction in which the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the free end side of the wiring holding member 197 extends from the free end side of the wiring cord 196 to the main body frame 3. It will be pushed forward by the part and will turn in the direction approaching the door frame base substrate cover 195 side. Thereby, as the door frame 5 is closed, the free end side of the wiring holding member 197 approaches the door frame base substrate cover 195, and the wiring cord 196 extending from the free end of the wiring holding member 197 to the main body frame 3 side is free. The bend becomes large (sharp) near the edge. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the wiring cord 196 is folded in two laterally on the free end side of the wiring holding member 197.

  On the other hand, when the door frame 5 closed with respect to the main body frame 3 is opened, the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 are relatively distant from each other, so that wiring is performed by the wiring cord 196 connected to the main body frame 3 side. The free end side of the holding member 197 is pulled rearward, and the wiring holding member 197 rotates smoothly so that the free end side moves in a direction away from the door frame base substrate cover 195 (direction of the main body frame 3). Thus, the wiring cord 196 folded on the free end side of the wiring holding member 197 is unfolded so as to extend straight, and the door frame 5 can be opened without being obstructed by the wiring cord 196.

  As described above, according to this example, the end of the wiring frame holding member 197 on the same side as the side on which the door frame 5 is pivotally supported, the door frame base substrate cover 195 is moved so that the free end side moves to the main body frame 3 side. Since it is pivotally supported on the rear surface and a part of the wiring cord 196 that electrically connects the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 is held so as not to move in the vertical direction, the main body frame 3 When the door frame 5 is opened and closed, the wiring cord 196 can be folded or unfolded laterally on the free end side of the wiring holding member 197, and the wiring cord 196 is caught when the door frame 5 is opened and closed. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of malfunctions (such as disconnection of the wiring cord 196, disconnection of the connection connector, etc.) due to pinching.

  Further, according to this example, since the wiring holding member 197 is formed of a relatively hard and highly rigid synthetic resin, even when a force acts through the wiring cord 196 when the door frame 5 is opened and closed, It is possible to prevent blurring in the vertical direction, and the wiring cord 196 can be reliably folded in the horizontal direction to prevent occurrence of problems.

  Further, as described above, when the door frame 5 is opened and closed with respect to the main body frame 3, a bridge is hung between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 by the wiring holding member 197. Since a part is bridged by the wiring holding member 197, it is possible to prevent the wiring 196 from drooping even when the door frame 5 is opened and closed, and when the wiring 196 droops, it is caught by another member and disconnected. Or the door frame 5 cannot be closed, and the main control board 4100, the peripheral control unit 4140, the payout control board 4110, and the like as the main body side electric devices are connected to the door side.

It has become.

  According to the operation unit 400 of this example, the dial operation unit 401 that can be rotated by the player and the pressing operation unit 405 that can be pressed are supported by the metal base member 420. Since the strength can be increased, it is possible to prevent the operation unit 400 from being damaged even if a player or the like hits the operation units 401 and 405 strongly, and the operation units 401 and 405 can be freely attached to the player. In addition to being able to operate, it is possible to improve the operability of the operation units 401 and 405, and to prevent the player's interest in the game from deteriorating by enjoying the effects using the operation units 401 and 405. it can.

  Further, the pressing operation unit 405 is arranged at the center of the annular dial operation unit 401. If the pressing operation unit 405 is struck strongly, the dial operation unit 401 is also struck, The force of hitting 401 and 405 can be distributed to the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405, and it is possible to prevent the hitting impact from being concentrated and prevent the operation unit 400 and the dish unit 300 from being damaged. Therefore, the operation units 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 can be made to withstand strong hits, and the player can freely operate the operation units 401 and 405. It is possible to improve the operability of 405 and to entertain the performance using the operation units 401 and 405 and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game. Door can be.

  Further, the base member 420 and the like of the operation unit 400 are accommodated in the recessed operation unit mounting portion 314c of the dish unit 300, and a predetermined amount of gap is formed between the lower end of the base member 420 and the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c. As shown, when the cover main body 426 attached to the base member 420 is fixed to the upper surface of the dish unit 300 and the operation parts 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 are hit to give an impact or a load is applied, Until the lower end of the operation unit 400 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c, the cover body 426 can absorb an impact and a load by elastic deformation, and the lower end of the operation unit 400 is connected to the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c. After the contact, an impact is caused by the bottom of the operation unit mounting portion 314c (the dish unit 300). Since the load can be received, the impacts from the operation units 401 and 405 can be dispersed and the impacts can be prevented from being concentrated. Can be increased.

  Furthermore, the base member 420 is provided with a plurality of legs 420e protruding downward from positions where the operation parts 401 and 405 are supported, and the legs 420e of the base member 420 are the operation units in the dish unit 300. Even when the impact from the operation portions 401 and 405 is applied to the base member 420 by contacting the bottom surface of the mounting portion 314c, the leg portions 420e are not arranged immediately below the impact, so the operation portions 401 and 405 in the base member 420 are not provided. The portion that supports the base plate is bent by the impact, and the base member 420 is bent (elastically deformed), so that the shock from the operation units 401 and 405 can be absorbed to some extent, and the base member 420 is applied to the dish unit 300. It is possible to reduce the impact and prevent the dish unit 300 from being damaged.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 is held by the operation unit holding member 416 attached to the base member 420 from below so that a part of the dial operation unit 401 overlaps the base member 420 in plan view. Even when the operation unit holding member 416 that holds the dial operation unit 401 moves away from the base member 420 when the operation unit 401 is struck from the upper side, the dial operation unit 401 comes into contact with the upper surface of the base member 420. The base member 420 can restrict the downward movement of the dial operation unit 401 and can satisfactorily prevent the dial operation unit 401 from falling.

  Furthermore, since the dial operation unit 401 having the pressing operation unit 405 disposed at the center is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 according to the gaming state, the dial operation unit 401 rotates freely (rotation drive including vibration). Thus, the player can be surprised and attention can be paid to the effects produced by the operation units 401 and 405, the player can be entertained, and the dial operation unit 401 is appropriately driven by the dial drive motor 414, thereby enabling the dial operation unit It is possible to make the production using 401 (press operation unit 405) more diverse and less tired, and it is possible to prevent the player's interest in games from being lowered.

  Further, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 via the driven gear 410 and the drive gear 412, and the position of the rotation axis of the dial drive motor 414 is apparently adjusted to the dial operation unit 401 (driven gear). 410), even if the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 is strongly struck, the impact is transmitted via the rotation axis of the dial operation unit 401. Direct dial drive motor 414 can be avoided and damage to dial drive motor 414 (operation unit 400) can be prevented.

  Furthermore, since the opening 420a of the base member 420 has a smaller diameter than the dial operation unit 401, the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the gear rail 416a of the operation unit holding member 416 through the opening 420a. Even if the gear rail 416a (operation unit holding member 416) moves downward due to an impact or load from 401, the dial operation unit 401 can abut on the upper surface of the opening 420a of the base member 420, and the dial operation unit 401 becomes the base member. It is possible to reliably prevent a drop from 420. Further, since the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the annular gear rail 416a, the contact area between the dial operation unit 401 and the operation unit holding member 416 (gear rail 416a) can be increased. It is possible to prevent the operation portion holding member 416 from being damaged by dispersing the impact and load from the operation.

  Further, since the dial drive motor 414 for rotating the dial operation unit 401 is attached to the metal base member 420, the dial operation unit 401 is frequently rotated by the dial drive motor 414, or the dial drive motor 414 is driven. Although the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped by the player despite being driven by the rotation, even if the amount of heat generated due to excessive load on the dial drive motor 414 increases, The heat generated from the dial drive motor 414 can be dissipated and radiated satisfactorily through the base member 420, and it is possible to prevent the dial drive means 414 from being defective due to overheating. That can withstand high loads. Can be sufficiently embody the effect of the dial operation unit 401 using a dial driving means 414 as described above, can be pachinko machine 1 to be entertained player.

  Furthermore, rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b that detect the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 and a press detection sensor 432c that detects the press of the press operation unit 405 are provided. The dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 are provided. Rotation operation and pressing operation can be detected, so that it is possible to produce an effect according to the player's operation based on the detection signal, and it is more effective for the player who operates the operation units 401 and 405. It is possible to provide an experience with a bodily sensation, and to suppress the interest of the game from deteriorating by making the player entertained. In addition, a dial decoration board 430 and a button decoration board 432 for decorating the operation parts 401 and 405 are provided, and the operation parts 401 and 405 can be decorated with light emission, so that the operation parts 401 and 405 emit light. Thus, the player's interest can be attracted to the operation units 401 and 405, and the player can easily operate the operation units 401 and 405.

  Further, when the pressing operation portion 405 in the operation unit 400 is pressed, the step portion 407a of the pressing operation portion 405 and the protruding portion 401f of the dial operation portion 401 are in contact with each other, so that the player can press the pressing operation portion 405. When the dial is pressed, the dial operation unit 401 is vibrated by repeating forward and reverse rotations within a predetermined angle range by the dial drive motor 414, thereby allowing the dial operation unit 401 to contact the projecting portion 401f of the dial operation unit 401 via the step 407a. The pressing operation unit 405 can also be vibrated. Therefore, since it is possible to give the player a feeling of operation with respect to the pressing operation 405 without separately providing a vibrator or the like for vibrating the pressing operation unit 405, an effect using the operation unit 400 can be enjoyed. It can suppress that the interest with respect to a game falls. Further, since the pressing operation unit 405 vibrates when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, the player can be greatly surprised by the movement of the pressing operation unit 405 that the user thought would not move. It is possible to make it seem that there is something, and it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the game and suppress the interest from deteriorating. Therefore, unlike the conventional operation unit, the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 move freely, so that the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the operation unit 400, and the player can participate in the production using the operation unit 400. It is possible to facilitate the operation of the operation unit 400 to the player, and the enjoyment of the game by reducing the operation of the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 are in contact with each other, so that the force from the pressing operation unit 405 can be transmitted to the dial operation unit 401 side. Even when the pressing operation unit 405 is struck, the load and impact applied to the pressing operation unit 405 can be dispersed also on the dial operation unit 401 side, and load resistance and impact resistance against the pressing operation unit 405 can be distributed. Can be increased. Therefore, even if the pressing operation unit 405 is struck, it is possible to prevent the pressing operation unit 405 from being damaged. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted due to the damage to the pressing operation unit 405 (operation unit 400). It is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from being reduced due to the interruption of the game.

  Further, the pressing operation unit 405 is supported so as to be rotatable only within a predetermined angle range with respect to the axial center extending in the vertical direction. When the player presses the pressing operation unit 405, the dial is driven. Even if the dial operation unit 401 is driven to rotate by the motor 414, the pressing operation unit 405 can be prevented from rotating together with the dial operation unit 401, so that the player can perform the dial operation in the operation unit 400. The role of each of the unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 can be surely recognized, and the player can easily enjoy the performance using the operation unit 400, and is guided to the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 405. The “PUSH” characters that have been played can be easily read from the player side without turning or tilting greatly, It is possible to reliably recognize that the part 405 is intended to pressing.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 includes a protruding portion 401f that protrudes from the inner periphery of the inner tube portion 401a toward the axial center, and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation portion 405 has a smaller diameter than a predetermined position in the vertical direction. Since the step portion 407a is formed at the upper end of the operation unit 400, the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 401a of the dial operation portion 401 and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation portion 405 can be brought as close as possible. It is possible to improve the appearance by reducing the gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 as much as possible, and the inside of the operation unit 400 through the gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405. It is possible to make it difficult for foreign matter such as dust and dust to enter, and it is difficult for the dial operation unit 401 to rotate due to the entry of foreign matter, and it is difficult to press the pressing operation unit 405. The occurrence of a problem it is possible to prevent that or Tsu.

  Further, the contact portion between the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 is formed in an annular shape, and when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, which part of the circumferential direction with respect to the dial operation unit 401 is selected. Since the contact can be made even at a position, even if the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed with a feeling that it is tilted (a position that is biased toward the outer periphery from the center of the pressing operation unit 405), the dial operation unit 401 is reliably contacted. Therefore, the rotational drive from the dial drive motor 414 can be reliably transmitted to the pressing operation unit 405 via the dial operation unit 401. In addition, since the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 are annularly contacted, the load from the pressing operation unit 405 can be widely distributed to the dial operation unit 401 side. Impact resistance can be further increased.

  Further, since the contact portion between the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 is inclined so as to become lower toward the direction of the rotation axis of the dial operation unit 401, In comparison, the contact area can be relatively increased, and the driving force from the dial drive motor 414 can be easily transmitted to the pressing operation unit 405 side via the dial operation unit 401. In addition, the load from the pressing operation unit 405 can be distributed radially outward in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the rotation axis extends, and the load is prevented from being concentrated. The loadability and impact resistance can be reliably increased, the durability of the operation unit 400 can be increased, and the occurrence of problems during the game can be reduced as much as possible to reduce the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

  Further, since the dial drive motor 414 of the operation unit 400 is a stepping motor capable of forward / reverse rotation, the dial operation unit 401 is not simply rotated, but can be easily stopped at a predetermined position, or forward / reverse. The operation unit 400 (pachinko machine 1) that can be easily vibrated by repetition and that exhibits the above-described effects can be reliably realized.

  In addition, since the operation unit 400 is supported by the dish unit 300 having the upper plate 301 for storing game balls, the strength and rigidity of the dish unit 300 is high in order to store a large number of game balls. Thus, it is possible to sufficiently cope with a smashing of the operation unit 400 (pressing operation unit 405), and it is possible to easily entertain using the operation unit 400.

[1-2G. Handle device]
Next, the handle device 500 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 51A is an exploded perspective view of the handle device in the door frame as seen from the front, and FIG. 51B is an exploded perspective view of the handle device as seen from the back. As shown in the figure, the handle device 500 of the present embodiment is attached to a handle bracket 140 attached to the front surface of the door frame base body 110 of the door frame base unit 100 through the handle insertion hole 334a of the plate side outer cover 334 of the plate unit 300. A handle base 502 that is fixed and cylindrical and has a front end that bulges out in a direction perpendicular to the axis, a handle body 504 that is disposed on the front side of the handle base 502 so as to be rotatable relative to the handle base 502, and a front surface of the handle body 504 A front end cover 506 disposed and fixed to the handle base 502 and rotatably supporting the handle body 504 in cooperation with the handle base 502.

  In addition, the handle device 500 has a rear end and a front end rotatably supported by an inner base 508 attached to the front surface of the handle base 502 on the rear side of the handle main body 504, and the inner base 508 and the front end cover 506. A shaft member 510 that can rotate integrally with the shaft 504 and has a drive gear portion 510a on the outer periphery, a transmission gear 511 that meshes with the drive gear portion 510a of the shaft member 510, and a detection shaft portion 512a that can rotate integrally with the transmission gear 511. And a rotational position detection sensor 512 sandwiched between the inner base 508 and the handle base 502.

  Furthermore, the handle device 500 has one end attached to the inner base 508 and the other end attached to the transmission gear 511, and the detection shaft portion 512a of the rotational position detection sensor 512 is rotated clockwise in front view via the transmission gear 511. Auxiliary spring 514 for biasing, a touch sensor 516 attached to the rear side of the inner base 508, a firing stop switch 518 attached to a different position on the rear surface of the inner base 508, and the inner base 508 A single-shot button 520 that is pivotally supported and operates a firing stop switch 518, and one end side is attached to the handle base 502 and the other end side is attached to the handle body 504 so that the handle body 504 is in an initial rotation position (counterclockwise in front view). Energized to return to the rotation end in the direction of A handle return spring 522 that includes a.

  As shown in the figure, the handle base 502 of the handle device 500 of the present example is configured to have a rear end portion that is open at the front side and has a rear end portion that extends in a cylindrical shape rearward from a front end portion that bulges rearwardly. Three groove portions 502a extending in the axial direction are formed on the outer periphery of the cylindrical shape. The three groove portions 502a of the handle base 502 have one on the upper side, two on the lower side, and unequal intervals with respect to the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the three protrusions 143 in the cylindrical portion 141 of the handle bracket 140. Has been placed. The handle base 502 is supported in a non-rotatable state by being inserted into the tube portion 141 of the handle bracket 140 so that the groove portion 502a is fitted to the protrusion 143.

  In the handle device 500, an arcuate slit 504a concentrically arranged with the rotation shaft is formed in the handle main body 504, and three attachment bosses 506a projecting rearward are formed in the front end cover 506. These mounting bosses 506 a are fixed to the front surface of the handle base 502 through the slits 504 a of the handle body 504. Accordingly, the rotational range of the handle body 504 is restricted by the circumferential end of the slit 504a in the handle body 504 coming into contact with the mounting boss 506a of the front end cover 506.

  Further, in the handle device 500, a locking projection 504b protruding rearward is formed on the handle main body 504, and the other end side (front end side) of the coiled handle return spring 522 is formed on the locking projection 504b. By being locked, the handle main body 504 is biased so as to rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the front by a handle return spring 522 attached to the handle base 502 at one end side.

  The handle device 500 of this example is attached to the handle attachment portion 114 of the door frame base main body 110 via the handle bracket 140. The handle mounting portion 114 of the door frame base body 110 is inclined so that its mounting surface faces the outside (open side) in a plan view as viewed from above. The device 500 is also tilted outward in plan view (in other words, the front end of the pachinko machine 1 is tilted so as to face the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line perpendicular to the front vertical plane of the pachinko machine 1). 5 to be fixedly attached. Thereby, it is easy for a player to grasp the handle device 500, and there is no sense of incongruity in the rotation operation, and it is easy to perform the rotation operation.

  Further, in the handle device 500, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is a variable resistor. When the handle main body 504 (the handle device 500) is rotated, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is connected via the shaft member 510 and the transmission gear 511. The detection shaft portion 512a rotates. Then, the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft portion 512a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 654 in the hit ball launching device 650 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512. Thus, the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle device 500.

  The outer peripheral surfaces of the handle main body 504 and the front end cover 508 are conductively plated, and the touch sensor 516 detects contact when the player touches the handle main body 504 or the like. Then, when the touch sensor 516 detects a player's contact, when the handle body 504 rotates, the rotation drive of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled with the strength according to the rotation, and the game ball is shot. Can be done. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball by rotating the handle device 500 in some way without touching the handle device 500, the firing solenoid 654 is not driven and the game ball cannot be driven, It is possible to reduce a load (burden) related to the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed by preventing the player from playing a game different from the original game.

  Further, when the player presses the single button 520 while the handle device 500 is being rotated, the firing stop switch 518 detects the operation of the single button 520 and the firing control unit 4120 (see FIG. 165) controls the firing solenoid 654. The rotational drive can be stopped. Thereby, even if it does not return rotation operation of the handle apparatus 500, while launching of a game ball can be stopped temporarily, before operating the single button 520 by operating the single button 520 release operation. A game ball can be launched with a driving strength.

  In the handle device 500 of this example, the rotation operation of the handle body 504 is electrically detected by the rotation position detection sensor 512, and then the launch control unit 4120 detects the rotation position from the rotation position detection sensor 512. Since the rotational driving strength of the launch solenoid 654 is controlled, the handle device 500 provided in the door frame 5 and the hitting ball launch device 650 provided in the main body frame 3 are connected to the door as in a conventional pachinko machine. It is not necessary to provide a mechanical (for example, joint unit) mechanism so that the frames 5 are linked to each other when the frame 5 is closed and the linkage is released when the door frame 5 is opened, and the configuration related to the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified. It is possible to eliminate the occurrence of defects in the joint unit, and to prevent the player's interest from deteriorating due to game ball driving defects It has to be able to bet.

[1-2H. Foul cover unit]
Next, the foul cover unit 540 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 52 and 53. FIG. 52A is an exploded perspective view of the foul cover unit in the door frame as seen from the front, and FIG. 52B is an exploded perspective view of the foul cover unit as seen from the back.

And a second sphere inlet 542c that communicates with the second sphere passage 542d and extends downward and slopes downward toward the lower right corner when viewed from the front. The first ball inlet 542a and the second ball inlet 542c are the normal ball outlet 774 and the full ball outlet 776 of the full tank branching unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 in a state where the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3. Are formed at positions facing each other. As shown in the drawing, the second ball passage 542d in the cover base 542 has a height of a portion extending in the left-right direction along the lower end, which is about three times the outer diameter of the game ball. An accommodation space 546 that can accommodate a predetermined amount of game balls is formed.

  Further, the cover base 542 can be guided to the upper part in the vicinity of the downstream of the foul ball inlet 542e and the foul ball inlet 542e, which is disposed at a substantially central upper part in the left-right direction and opens upward, and communicates with the foul ball inlet 542e. A foul ball passage 542f. The cover base 542 includes an opening / closing operation piece 542g for operating the opening / closing shutter 792 of the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790 on the lower rear surface of the second ball inlet 542c. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the opening / closing operation piece 542g contacts the spherical contact portion 793d of the opening / closing crank 793 in the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790, thereby rotating the opening / closing crank 793. The open / close shutter 792 can be opened.

  The front cover 544 of the foul cover unit 540 is formed in a substantially plate shape that closes the front surface of the cover base 542, and is disposed in the upper left corner of the front view and communicates with the first spherical passage 542b of the cover base 542 and penetrates in the front-rear direction. The first sphere outlet 544a and the second sphere outlet 544b that is disposed in the lower right corner when viewed from the front and communicates with the downstream end of the second sphere passage of the cover base 542 and penetrates in the front-rear direction. The first ball outlet 544 a of the front cover 544 is connected to the upper plate ball supply port 310 c of the plate unit 300 through the notch 101 a of the door frame base unit 100. Further, the rear end of the lower dish ball supply rod 310h in the dish unit 300 is connected to the second ball outlet 544b through the ball passage opening 110f of the door frame base body 110.

  The foul cover unit 540 of the present example passes the game ball supplied from the normal ball outlet 774 of the full tank branching unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 to the first ball inlet 542a through the first ball passage 542b. From 544a, the plate unit 300 can be supplied to the upper plate 301 through the upper plate ball supply port 310c. Further, the foul cover unit 540 passes the game ball supplied from the full ball outlet 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 to the second ball inlet 542c through the second ball passage 542d. From 544b, it can be supplied to the lower plate 302 via the lower plate ball supply bowl 310h and the lower plate ball supply port 310g of the plate unit 300.

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 will be described in detail later, but when the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the foul ball inlet 542e is positioned below the foul space 626 of the main body frame 3. When the game ball fired by the hit ball launching device 650 does not reach the game area 1100 and becomes a foul ball and falls in the foul space 626, it is received by the foul ball inlet 542e. Then, the foul cover unit 540 discharges (supply) the game balls received at the foul ball inlet 542e from the second ball outlet 544b to the lower plate 302 of the dish unit 300 through the foul ball passage 542f and the second ball passage 542d. ) Can be.

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 of the present example forms a side surface on the upstream side (left side in front view) of the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d, and can swing by a game ball stored in the accommodation space 546. A swing member 548 pivotally supported by the shaft, a full tank detection sensor 550 that detects the swing of the swing member 548, and a spring that biases the swing member 548 in a non-detection state by the full tank detection sensor 550. 552. As shown in FIG. 53, the swinging member 548 is pivotally supported at the lower end with respect to the cover base 542, and the upper end is turned to the left when viewed from the front. In this state, the left side wall of the accommodation space 546 is formed. Further, the swinging member 548 is biased by the spring 552 to a position where the swinging member 548 is in a substantially vertical state. Further, the swinging member 548 is formed with a detection piece 548a protruding outward on the side surface opposite to the accommodation space 546 side, and this detection piece 548a is detected by a full tank detection sensor 550. .

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 includes an earth rail 554 disposed at the bottom of the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d, and a plate-like earth metal fitting 556 that covers the right end and the left end of the cover base 542 when viewed from the back. , And can remove static electricity generated by rolling resistance caused by circulation of game balls.

  In this example, the game balls paid out from the prize ball unit 700 are supplied from the normal ball outlet 774 of the full tank branch unit 770 to the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 via the foul cover unit 540. Even if the inside of the upper plate 301 is full, when the game ball is further paid out from the prize ball unit 700, the game ball stagnates in the first ball passage 542b of the foul cover unit 540, and further the normal ball outlet 774 in the full tank branch unit 770 When the upstream normal passage 773 is also full, the game ball flows to the full tank passage 775 side via the branch space 772 of the full tank branch unit 770 (see FIG. 79). From the full tank outlet 776 to the second bulb inlet 542c, the second bulb passage 542d, and the second bulb outlet 544 of the foul cover unit 540. It comes to be supplied to the lower tray 302 of tray unit 300 via the.

  When the inside of the lower plate 302 of the tray unit 300 is filled with game balls, the game balls can no longer come out from the second ball outlet 544b of the foul cover unit 540, and are stuck in the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d. Game balls will be stored. Further, as the game balls are paid out from the prize ball unit 700 and more game balls are stored in the accommodation space 546, the storage pressure of the game balls acts on the swinging member 548 and resists the biasing force of the spring 552. The upper end of the swing member 548 will move to the left. When the detection piece 548a of the swinging member 548 is detected by the full tank detection sensor 550, the payout control board 4110 (see FIG. 165) stops the payout of the game ball from the prize ball unit 700, and the game A notification for urging a person to discharge the game ball in the dish unit 300 to the outside is provided.

  When the game ball in the storage space 546 (the lower plate 302) is discharged and the swinging member 548 is returned to a substantially vertical state by the biasing force of the spring 552, the full detection sensor 550 detects the detection piece 548a. The non-detection is made, and the payout of game balls from the prize ball unit 700 is resumed.

A partition 58 that is pivotally supported around an axis extending in the front-rear direction between 581 and partitions between the entrance 581a and the ball outlet 581b on the rear side of the front cover 581. a ball-extracting member 583 having a, and game balls on the partitioning portion 583a of the ball-extracting member 583 are sent one by one to the hitting supply port 582a of the rear cover and extend vertically between the front cover 581 and the rear cover 582. A ball feeding member 584 supported so as to be rotatable around the axis, and a ball feeding solenoid 585 for rotating the ball feeding member 584. In this example, as shown in the figure, the ball feeding member 584 is arranged on the right side of the entrance 581a in front view, and the ball removing member 583 is on the left side of the ball feeding member 584, and the ball feeding solenoid 585 is on the right side. Has been placed.

  The front cover 581 of the ball feeding unit 580 includes an arc-shaped slit 581c formed concentrically with the rotation center of the ball removing member 583 on the left side of the ball outlet 581b when viewed from the front. An operating rod 583c of a ball punching member 583, which will be described later, extends from 581c to the front. Further, the front cover 581 extends upward from the upper edge of the entrance 581a. When the front cover 581 is assembled to the door frame base unit 100, the rear end opening of the ball guide channel 344b in the upper dish ball removal base 344 is assembled. Is formed to close.

  Further, the ball removing member 583 has a partition portion 583a and a partition portion 583a which are separated from the entrance port 581a and the ball exit port 581b below the entrance port 581a and whose upper surface is lowered toward the ball feed member 584. Around the axis that extends downward from the end opposite to the ball feed member 584 and bends from the middle in the vertical direction toward the lower center of the ball outlet 581b and the lower end extends in the front-rear direction. A pivot collar 583b that is pivotally supported, a rod-shaped actuation collar 583c that projects forward from the upper end of the pivot collar 583b, and a side surface of the pivot collar 583b below the actuation collar 583c. And a weight portion 583d protruding to the opposite side to the partition portion 583a. An operating rod 583c of the ball removing member 583 is formed so as to protrude forward through an arc-shaped slit 581c formed in the front cover 581 (see FIG. 54), and a ball feed opening of the door frame base body 110 is formed. The upper tray ball removal mechanism 340 of the dish unit 300 is in contact with the upper end of the contact piece 343 a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 via the 113.

  Further, the ball feeding member 584 has a fan-shaped blocking portion 584a and a blocking portion 584a in plan view with the rotation axis extending in the vertical direction facing the entrance 581a and the partitioning portion 583a of the ball removing member 583. A sphere holding portion 584b that is recessed in an arc shape from the rear end to the rotation axis side, and a rod-like flange portion 584c that extends downward from the rear end of the sphere holding portion 584b are provided. The blocking portion 584a and the ball holding portion 584b in the ball feeding member 54 are formed within an angle range of about 90 ° around the rotation axis. Further, the ball holding portion 584b of the ball feeding member 584 is sized to hold one game ball. The ball feed member 584 rotates about the rotation axis when the flange 584c arranged at a position eccentric from the rotation axis is moved in the left-right direction by driving the ball feeding solenoid 585. ing.

  In the ball feeding member 584, the blocking portion 584a faces the partition portion 583a, and at the same time, the ball holding portion 584b communicates with the hitting ball supply port 582a, and the ball holding portion 584b faces the partition portion 583a. It rotates between the holding position. When the ball feeding member 584 is in the supply position, the game ball held by the ball holding portion 584b is supplied from the hit ball supply port 582a to the hit ball launching device 650 and enters the partition portion 583a from the advance port 581a. The ball is blocked from moving toward the ball holding portion 584b (hit ball supply port 582a) by the blocking portion 584a and stays on the partition portion 583a. On the other hand, when the ball feeding member 584 rotates to the holding position, the ball holding portion 584b faces the partition portion 583a, and the end of the ball holding portion 584b on the flange portion 584c side closes the hitting ball supply port 582a. Only one game ball on the partition portion 583a is held in the ball holding portion 584b.

  Further, the ball feed unit 580 is moved back and forth by the ball feed operation rod 586 whose tip is swung vertically by driving (energizing) the ball feed solenoid 585 and the movement of the tip of the ball feed operation rod 586 which is swung vertically. And a ball feed crank 587 that rotates around an axis extending in the direction and rotates the ball feed member 584 around an axis extending in the vertical direction. The ball feed crank 587 is engageable with the vertically moving tip of the ball feed operation rod 586 and extends in the left-right direction, and the side of the engagement portion 587a that engages with the ball feed operation rod 586. Is disposed on the opposite side and is supported between a front cover 581 and a rear cover 582 so as to be pivotable about a shaft extending in the front-rear direction, and a ball feed member 584 extending upward from the shaft 587b. And a transmission portion 587c that engages with a rod-shaped flange portion 584c (see FIG. 56) that protrudes downward from a position that is eccentric with respect to the rotation center.

  The ball feed unit 580 of this example transmits the movement of the ball feed actuating rod 586 that swings by the driving of the ball feed solenoid 585 that moves forward and backward by the ball feed actuating rod 586 and the ball feed crank 587. 584 can be rotated. When the ball feed solenoid 585 is not driven (normal time), the tip of the ball feed operating rod 586 swinging away from the lower end of the ball feed solenoid 585 is positioned downward. In this state, the ball feeding member 584 is located at the supply position. Further, when the ball feeding solenoid 585 is driven, the ball feeding operation rod 586 is attracted to the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 585 and the tip of the swing is positioned upward, so that the ball feeding member 584 rotates to the holding position. It has become. That is, when the ball feeding solenoid 585 is driven (ON state), the ball feeding member 584 receives one game ball, and when the ball feeding solenoid 585 is released (OFF state), the ball feeding member 584 receives the game ball. The game ball is sent (supplied) to the hitting ball launching device 650 side. The driving of the ball feeding solenoid 585 in the ball feeding unit 580 is controlled by the firing control unit 4120 in synchronization with the drive control of the firing solenoid 654.

  Further, the ball removing member 583 that is pivotally supported in the ball feeding unit 580 of the present example is configured to apply a moment that rotates counterclockwise by the weight portion 583c. The operation rod 583c protruding forward comes into contact with the upper end of the contact piece 343a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 in the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340 of the dish unit 300, so that its rotation is restricted. In a normal state, the partitioning portion 583a of the ball removal member 583 partitions the entrance 581a and the ball removal port 581b so that the game ball does not enter the ball removal port 581b side. Then, when the player presses the upper dish ball removal button 341 of the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340 in the dish unit 300 downward, the upper dish ball removal slider 343 slides downward together with the contact piece 343a and comes into contact. As the piece 343a moves downward, the operating rod 583c also moves relatively downward.

  In this way, when the operating rod 583c moves downward together with the contact piece 343a of the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340, the ball removal member 583 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the entrance by the partition portion 583a. The partition between the ball outlet 381a and the ball outlet 381b is released, and the game ball that has entered from the entrance 381a is discharged from the ball outlet 381b to the ball outlet passage 344c of the upper dish ball outlet base 344 of the dish unit 300. Then, it is discharged (supplied) to the lower plate 302.

  Since the contact piece 343a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 against which the operating rod 583c of the ball removal member 583 abuts is biased upward by a coil spring, the game ball is vigorously supplied onto the partition portion 581a. However, the impact can be absorbed by the coil spring that urges the upper dish ball removal slider 343 via the operating rod 583c, and the ball removal member 583 and the like can be prevented from being damaged. It is possible to prevent the partition portion 583a from bouncing back.

  In addition, the ball feeding unit 580 of the present example is formed with a rectangular mounting recess 582b (see FIG. 56B, etc.) that is recessed forward in the upper right in the rear view of the hitting ball supply port 582a in the rear cover 582. At the same time, a tamper-proof member 588 is mounted in the mounting recess 582b. The fraud prevention member 588 of the ball feeding unit 580 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is attached to the inside of the mounting recess 582a of the rear cover 582 so as to be detachable from the rear side. As shown in FIG. 55 and the like, the fraud prevention member 588 is formed in a rectangular shape whose overall outer diameter in the rear view is a horizontally long shape, and is on the opposite side from the substantially vertical center at the tip which is the left side in the rear view. The upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c, which are divided vertically with a dividing line 588a extending a predetermined length toward the base end side (right side), and the tips of the upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c are A V formed between the upper piece 588b and the lower piece 588c by bending the base end side of the upper piece 588b in a direction perpendicular (rearward) to the general surface of the tamper-proof member 588 so as to be separated from each other. A character-shaped cutting portion 588d and an inclined portion 588e formed at the tips of the upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c and inclined toward the cutting portion 588d are provided.

  As shown in the figure, the fraud prevention member 588 is formed by bending the base end side of the upper piece portion 588b so that the distal end (left end side in the rear view) of the upper piece portion 588b moves backward, so that the cutting portion 588d is It is formed in a V shape in plan view, and a wire rod Iw attached to an illegal game ball I is inserted into the V shape. The cutting part 588d of the fraud prevention member 588 has a state in which the lower side of the upper piece part 588b and the upper side of the lower piece part 588c intersect each other at a predetermined angle in plan view, and the gap becomes narrower toward the base end side. It is formed as follows.

  Further, the inclined portion 588e of the fraud preventing member 588 is formed at the tip of the cutting portion 588d, and the wire Iw attached to the illegal game ball I can be guided and guided into the cutting portion 588d by the inclined portion 588e. It is like that. In the ball feeding unit 580 of this example, as shown in the figure, a tamper-proof member 588 is mounted in the mounting recess 582b of the rear cover 582 from the rear side, and the cutting portion 588d in the mounting recess 582b of the rear cover 582 is shown. A portion corresponding to the portion where the is formed penetrates in the front-rear direction and at the same time communicates with the hit ball supply port 582a. In other words, the rear cover 582 is formed in a shape in which the hit ball supply port 582a extends into the mounting recess 582b.

  According to the fraud prevention member 588, the illegal game ball I attached with the wire Iw is supplied from the ball feeding unit 580 to the hit ball launching device 650, and the hit ball launching device 650 sends the illegal game ball I to the game area of the game board 4. When the player hits the inside 1100, the illegal game ball I launched by the hitting ball launcher 650 moves obliquely to the upper left along the launch rail 660 in the front view, and moves between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112. An attempt is made to enter the game area 1100 through the game. At this time, the wire rod Iw attached to the illegal game ball I is pulled by the momentum of the hit game ball I, and the wire rod Iw differs from the movement trajectory of the illegal game ball I, and the path of the game ball It moves along the route connecting at the shortest distance. Accordingly, the wire Iw extending from the dish unit 300 through the hitting supply port 582a of the ball feeding unit 580 to the hitting ball launcher 650 moves the game ball I in the upper left direction in the front view (upper right direction in the rear view). Thus, the ball is pulled toward the upper right corner of the hitting ball supply port 582a so as to move to the shortest route, and moves into the mounting recess 582b formed at the upper right of the hitting ball supply port 582a in the rear view. The wire Iw that has moved to the portion (inside the mounting recess 582b) that extends rightward in the rear view of the hitting ball supply port 582a is cut by the pair of inclined portions 588e of the anti-fraud member 588 disposed at the position. After being guided into 588d, it is further pulled to the right in the rear view by the force of the illegal game ball I.

  As a result, the wire Iw attached to the unauthorized game ball I is pulled by the unauthorized game ball I in the cutting direction 588d of the fraud prevention member 588 in a direction in which the gap is narrowed (leftward in front view). In this state, friction and shearing force are applied by the cutting portion 588d, and the wire Iw is cut (see FIG. 57D). At this time, since the momentum of the illegal game ball I attached with the wire Iw is attenuated by friction or the like acting on the wire Iw, it does not enter the game area 1100 between the outer rail 1111 and the launch rail 660. Will be discharged through.

  Therefore, since the wire Iw attached to the illegal game ball I can be cut by the cutting portion 588d of the fraud prevention member 588, the illegal action is performed on the illegal game ball I attached with the wire Iw in the game area 605. Can be prevented. Even if an illegal game ball I enters the game area 1100, as described above, the wire rod Iw can be cut by the fraud prevention member 588, so that it is impossible to perform an illegal act. Even if the wire rod Iw could not be cut by the fraud prevention member 588, the wire rod Iw bites into the V-shaped cut portion 588d, thereby reducing the momentum of the illegal game ball I and playing area 1100. It is possible to prevent intrusion, so that it is possible to prevent illegal acts.

  As described above, according to the present example, the game ball is stored in the upper plate 301 and the game ball is supplied to the ball feeding unit 580, and then the player holds the handle device 500 provided on the front surface of the door frame 5. When operated, the game ball is sent to the ball hitting device 650 by driving the ball feed solenoid 585 of the ball feed unit 580, and the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 by the ball hitting device 650, thereby playing the game window 101 of the door frame 5. A game is played in the game area 1100 that can be viewed via the player, so that the player can be entertained, and a feed mechanism (ball feed member 584 or ball feed solenoid 585 is provided on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100. Etc.) and a discharge mechanism (ball removal member 583) are disposed, so that only the ball feed member 584 and the ball removal member 583 are provided. The ball feeding member 584 and the ball hitting device 650 are also brought as close as possible, and when the game ball in the upper plate 301 is discharged by operating the upper plate ball removing button 341, it remains on the ball feeding member 584 side. It is possible to reduce the number of game balls as much as possible, and to prevent the player from feeling lost, and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 provided with the ball removing member 583 is arranged on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100, the capacity of the upper plate 301 in the plate unit 300 can be increased, and the game ball can be thrown in. It is possible to prevent the game balls in the upper plate 301 from disappearing early or the game balls in the upper plate 301 from being filled up early due to the operation. It is possible to reduce the player's feeling of annoyance and suppress the interest, and the dish unit 300 can be downsized while maintaining the capacity of the upper dish 301, so that the game The area 1100 can be enlarged (widened) to provide a pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's attention.

  Further, since the ball feed unit 580 is provided with the ball feed member 583, the ball feed member 580 is simply attached to the ball feed member 580 as compared with the ball feed member 584 and the ball feed member 583 separately. 584 and the ball punching member 583 can be attached, the labor involved in the assembly can be simplified, the feeding unit 580 can be easily replaced, and a defect occurs in the ball feeding member 584 and the ball punching member 583. Even so, the problem can be easily solved by replacing the ball feeding unit 580.

  Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 is arranged on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100 in the door frame 5, the upper plate ball is compared with the ball feeding unit 580 provided on the main body frame 3 side. There is no need to configure the transmission mechanism (the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340) that transmits the operation of the removal button 341 to the ball removal member 584 of the ball feeding unit 580 so as to straddle the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 that can be opened and closed. The configuration related to the transmission mechanism can be simplified. Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 is provided on the door frame 5 side, the transmission mechanism (when the door frame 5 is opened, as compared with the case where the ball feeding unit 580 is provided on the main body frame 3 side). By shutting off the upper bowl removing mechanism 340), it is possible to avoid the possibility that the transmission mechanism will be consumed at an early stage, causing malfunction or damage, and reliability for the operation of the transmission mechanism, the ball feeding unit 580, etc. And durability can be increased.

  Further, since the upper plate ball removal button 341 is pressed downward, the game ball can be discharged from the upper plate 301 to the lower plate 302 or the upper plate 301 by simply pressing the upper plate ball removal button 341 downward. Can be stopped, and the player can easily perform the ball removal operation in the upper plate 301 by the upper plate ball removal button 341.

  The partition 583a of the ball removal member 583 is moved by the movement of the upper plate ball removal slider 343 that slides in the vertical direction in accordance with the operation of the upper plate ball removal button 341, and the upper plate ball removal slider 343 is moved. At the same time, the partition portion 583a is also movable in the vertical direction, so that the horizontal movement range of the upper plate ball removal slider 343 and the partition portion 583a can be made as small as possible. The unit 580 can be reduced in size, and the pachinko machine 1 that can reliably achieve the above-described effects can be obtained.

  Further, the upper plate ball removal slider 343 is urged upward, and the partition portion 583a of the ball removal member 583 communicates the entrance 581a and the hit ball supply port 582a when the upper plate ball removal slider 343 is in the raised position. Therefore, even if the game ball from the upper plate 301 vigorously comes into contact with the partition portion 583a, the impact can be reduced by the urging force acting on the upper plate ball removal slider 343, and the partition portion 583a (ball removal member) 583) can be improved. Further, since the impact applied to the partition portion 583a can be reduced by the urging force acting on the upper dish ball removal slider 343, it is possible to make it difficult to repel even when the game ball collides with the partition portion 583a. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ball feeding unit 580 and the like from being damaged and causing problems.

  Further, since the partition portion 583a is rotated, compared to the case where the partition portion 583a is slid, it relates to the movement of the partition portion 583a when a load of a game ball is applied to the partition portion 583a. The friction loss can be reduced, and the operability can be improved by lightening the operation of the upper dish ball removal button 341, and the moving range of the partitioning portion 583a can be reduced in the planar projection. The effect of this can be achieved.

  Further, since the partition portion 583a is rotated by its own weight in a direction in which the entrance 581a and the ball outlet 581b communicate with each other, the partition portion Rotating due to its own weight, the entrance and the discharge port are in communication with each other, and the game medium in the storage tray is sent to the feed mechanism (input device) side even though the discharge operation unit is not operated. Since it will be discharged to the player side without being played, the player can be made aware that there is a problem with the pachinko machine 1 and moved to a pachinko machine 1 with no problems. It can suppress that it falls.

  Further, since the ball removing member 583 is rotated via the rotating hook part 583b bent, the rotating hook part bent when the game ball collides with the divider 583a. It is possible to prevent the impact from being linearly transmitted to the rotating shaft by dispersing it by 583b or by absorbing it by bending of the rotating collar portion 583b, and to improve the durability of the ball removing member 583. Can be increased.

  Further, since the ball outlet 581b is arranged directly below the entrance 581a communicating with the upper plate 301 side, when the game ball in the upper plate 301 is discharged, the right and left of the game ball in the ball feeding unit 580 are Directional movement can be minimized, and the game ball can be discharged well by improving the passage of the game ball in the ball feeding unit 580. Further, since the ball outlet 581b is arranged immediately below the entrance 581a, the discharge path of the game balls in the ball feed unit 580 can be shortened as much as possible, and the ball feed unit 580 can serve as a discharge mechanism. Even if the ball removing member 583 is provided, the ball feeding unit 580 can be prevented from being unnecessarily enlarged.

As the wire Iw is pulled quickly (strongly), the wire Iw can be surely cut, and the force of the illegal game ball I is attenuated to prevent entry into the game area 1100. It is possible to reliably prevent an illegal act from being performed by the illegal game ball I.

  Further, since the tamper-proof member 588 having the cutting portion 588d is mounted in the mounting recess 582b that is recessed forward from the rear surface of the rear cover 582, the V-shaped cutting portion 588d is formed. The upper piece 588b bent rearward can be prevented from projecting rearward from the rear end surface of the rear cover 582, and the upper piece 588b of the anti-fraud member 588 is injured by an operator during assembly. Can be prevented.

  Further, in the anti-fraud member 588 capable of cutting the wire Iw attached to the illegal game ball I, the upper upper piece 588b is bent backward with the dividing line 588a extending from the right end of the metal plate material interposed therebetween. Thus, since the V-shaped cutting part 588d is formed, the cutting part 588d capable of exerting a shearing force can be easily formed (processed), and the cost associated with the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced. The increase can be suppressed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 60, the 20 LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a belonging to the first annular group 102 are 102a to 102j for each of the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a of the side lenses 210 and 250, respectively. The 26 LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a belonging to the second annular group 103 are divided into 10 systems of 103a to 103j for each of the peripheral lens portions 210a, 250a of the side lenses 210, 250. It has been.

  The 20 LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b belonging to the radial group 104 are divided into 8 systems 104a to 104h for each side flash lens 204 and 246 (radiation lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250). ing. The two LEDs 214c belonging to the notification group 105 are divided into two systems, an upper side 105a and a lower side 105b. Further, the eight LEDs 288a and 288b belonging to the upper central group 106 are divided into three systems, that is, a central part 106a, a right part 106b, and a left part 106c. The seven LEDs 290a belonging to the upper central side group 107 are divided into two systems, a right side 107a and a left side 107b.

  Further, the eleven LEDs 322a belonging to the upper plate group 108 are divided into four systems 108a to 108d on the front and rear sides and on the right and left sides. The five LEDs 430b and 432d belonging to the operation group 109 include four LEDs 430b corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 arranged diagonally across the pressing operation unit 405, and a pair of left and right 109a and front and rear 109b. The two LEDs, one LED 432c corresponding to the pressing operation unit 405, is divided into three systems. Thus, in the door frame 5 of this example, each LED 214a, 214b, 214c, 216a, 216b, 254a, 254b, 256a, 256b, 288a, 288b, 290a, 322a, 430b, 432d is divided into 42 systems. ing.

  Meanwhile, in the door frame 5, as described above, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a, 288a, 288b, 290a, 322a, and 432d are full-color LEDs, and the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a, 288a, 288b, 28 systems 102a to 102j, 103a to 103j, 106a to 106c, 108a to 108d, and 109c to which 290a, 322a, and 432d belong are further provided with three independent RGB systems in order to emit light in full color. In the light emission control, there are three times 84 systems. The LEDs 288a and 430b are high-intensity white LEDs, and the four systems 107a, 109a and 109b to which the LEDs 288a and 430b belong require a large amount of current to emit light with high luminance. Two systems are connected, and in actual light emission control, there are twice as many as eight systems.

  The LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b are white LEDs having normal luminance, and belong to the eight systems 104a to 108h. The LED 214c is a green LED and a red LED, and belongs to the two systems 105a and 105b. The ten systems 104a to 108h, 105a, and 105b by these LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, 256b, and 214c can be sufficiently controlled by each system.

  Therefore, the actual number of systems in the light emission control in the door frame 5 is 102 systems, and each LED 214a, 214b, 214c, 216a, 216b, 254a, 254b, 256a, 256b, 288a, 288b, 290a, 322a, For each system to which 430b and 432d belong, lighting / flashing is controlled by dynamic lighting, and gradation (color and brightness) is controlled by PWM control (pulse width modulation control). . As a result, a rich light-emitting effect can be achieved.

  As the lighting effect in the door frame 5, for example, light is emitted sequentially from the first annular group 102 to the second annular group 103 (sequential light emission of the same color or similar color) to spread outwardly around the gaming window 101. Light emission effect, or conversely, light emission effect that converges from the outside toward the gaming window 101 by emitting light sequentially from the second annular group 103 to the first annular group 102 (sequential light emission of the same color or similar color), Alternatively, the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 can emit light at the same time, so that a light-emitting effect or the like can be performed so that the entire outer periphery of the gaming window 101 emits light widely.

  Further, by coordinating with LEDs (not shown in detail) provided on the game board 4, the LEDs of the game board 4, the LEDs of the first annular group 102 close to the game window 101, and the first annular group 102 With the LEDs of the second annular group 103 arranged on the outer side, it is possible to produce a more expressive light-emitting effect, which can attract the player's interest strongly and entertain the player. Can be suppressed.

  Further, in the first annular group 102, the second annular group 103, and the lower group 108, each of the systems 102 a to 102 j and 103 a to 103 j is appropriately caused to emit light, so that the upper portion of the upper decoration unit 280 is aligned along the outer periphery of the gaming window 101. It is possible to produce a light emission effect such that light moves toward the central lens 284 or light moves from the upper central lens 284 along the outer periphery of the game window 101. In this example, the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 are divided into 10 systems 102a to 102j and 103a to 103j in the circumferential direction (10 divisions). However, the present invention is not limited to this. If it is divided into about 8 systems (about 8 divisions), it is possible to perform a light emission effect such that light circulates around the outer periphery of the gaming window 101.

  Further, by emitting light only from the radial group 104, a light emission effect is produced in which the light is emitted radially around the gaming window 101, or the first annular group 102, the second annular group 103, and the lower group 108 are emitted simultaneously with the radial group 104.

And a normal passage 773 (see FIG. 79) for guiding the game ball from directly under the prize ball receiving port 771 to the front side in the branch space 772, and a game ball that has circulated through the normal passage 773 forward and the front end of the front end. A normal ball outlet 774 that opens at the right end of the view, and a full passage 775 that guides the game ball from the position away from the right side of the back view of the prize ball receiving port 771 in the branch space 772 toward the front side (see FIG. 79). A), a fill-up passage 775 game ball that has flowed through the discharge forward a full sphere outlet 776 which opens in a front view the left side of the normal ball outlet 774, a.

  Further, the full tank branching unit 770 has a ball outlet 777 that opens upward at the left end of the rear end upper part when viewed from the front and receives the game ball flowing down the ball extraction passage 741d of the prize ball device 740, A ball extraction passage 778 (see FIG. 79) for guiding the game ball received at the opening 777 to the front side, and a game ball flowing through the ball extraction passage 778 is discharged forward, and a normal ball outlet 774 and And a ball outlet 779 opened at a position behind the full tank outlet 776.

  When the full tank branching unit 770 of the present example is in a state in which the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the normal ball outlet 774 and the full tank outlet 776 are respectively the first foul cover unit 540 in the door frame 5. The game ball released from the normal ball outlet 774 passes through the first ball inlet 542a of the foul cover unit 540 and communicates with the ball inlet 542a and the second ball inlet 542c. The game balls supplied to the upper plate 301 and discharged from the full tank outlet 776 are supplied to the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300 through the second ball inlet 542c of the foul cover unit 540. The ball outlet 779 is formed so as to communicate with the upper right side of the main body frame base ball outlet passage 622 in the main body frame base 600 so that the game ball released from the ball outlet 779 is released from the main body frame base 600. It is delivered to the main body frame base ball extraction passage 622.

  The full tank branching unit 770 is configured such that a game ball delivered to the prize ball passage 741c side of the prize ball device 740 is received at the prize ball receiving port 771 via the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710. In the normal state, the game ball that has entered the prize ball receiving port 771 hangs down the branch space 772 and flows down into the normal passage 773 arranged immediately below the prize ball receiving port 771. Then, the game ball that has flowed into the normal passage 773 enters the first ball inlet 542a of the foul cover unit 540 from the normal outlet 774, passes through the first ball passage 542b, and passes from the first ball outlet 544a to the top of the dish unit 300. It will be supplied to the plate 301.

  By the way, when the game ball is further paid out from the prize ball unit 700 (the prize ball device 740) in a state where the upper plate 301 of the dish unit 300 is full of game balls, the first ball exit of the foul cover unit 540 is provided. The game balls that can no longer come out from the 544a toward the upper plate 301 stagnate in the first ball passage 542b of the foul cover unit 540 and eventually fill up the normal passage 773 upstream through the normal ball outlet 774 in the full tank branching unit 770. become. In this state, the game ball that has entered the branch space 772 from the prize ball receiving port 771 cannot enter the normal passage 773, starts to move laterally in the branch space 772, and moves laterally. A game ball enters into the full tank passage 775 and passes from the full tank exit 776 to the bottom of the dish unit 300 through the second ball entrance 542c, the second ball passage 542d, and the second ball exit 544b of the foul cover unit 540. It is supplied to the dish 302.

  The full tank branch unit 770 of the present example is formed entirely of a transparent synthetic resin so that the inside can be visually recognized from the outside. As a result, foreign matter such as dust and debris that has entered the full tank branch unit 770, the occurrence of clogging, etc. can be easily found without disassembling the full tank branch unit 7700. .

  In this way, the full tank branching unit 770 of this example automatically plays the game balls paid out from the prize ball device 740 until the game balls are full in the upper plate 301 until the game balls are full. Since the upper plate is full like the conventional pachinko machine, the game ball is not supplied to the ball hitting device by operating the ball pulling button on the upper plate. It is possible to avoid interruption of game ball driving, and it is possible to eliminate the annoyance during the game and suppress the interest in the game from being reduced.

  In addition, as described above, the full tank branching unit 770 of this example branches the path of the game ball to be paid out immediately below the prize ball device 740, that is, at the rear part of the pachinko machine 1, when the upper plate 301 becomes full. Since the game ball staying in the normal passage 773 of the full tank branching unit 770 is paid out to the upper plate 301, the game ball in the upper plate 301 and the game ball in the normal passage 773 are used as a ball hitting device. A game ball that can be directly struck by 650, and the storage amount of the game ball in the upper plate 301 is substantially the sum of the capacity of the upper plate 301 and the capacity of the normal passage 773. That is, even if the capacity of the upper plate 301 is made smaller than the capacity of the upper plate in the conventional pachinko machine, the capacity of the normal passage 773 is added, so that the same amount of game balls as in the conventional case are stored in the upper plate 301. Can do. Accordingly, by reducing the size of the upper plate 301, the gaming window 101 in the door frame 5 can be relatively enlarged (widened), and the pachinko machine 1 having a wider gaming area 1100 can be obtained. The pachinko machine 1 can be made highly appealing to the player, and the player can be entertained by the wide game area 1100.

  Furthermore, since the two normal ball outlets 774 and the full tank ball outlets 776 of the full tank branching unit 770 are arranged side by side on the left and right sides, the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage tray (the first inlet) Even when there is only one ball inlet 542a and second ball inlet 542c), the game ball can be sent to the door frame 5 side without changing the main body frame 3 side (full tank branching unit 770). Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can be made to be able to correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the flow path of the game ball (full tank branching unit 770) in the main body frame 3. And it can suppress that the cost concerning the lineup of the pachinko machine 1 provided with the door frame 5 from which the number of storage dishes differs is increased.

  In addition, as described above, even if the number of storage trays provided in the door frame 5 is changed, it can be handled without changing the main body frame 3, so that the entire pachinko machine 1 according to the change of the door frame 5 is achieved. Thus, various pachinko machines 1 can be provided at low cost.

  Furthermore, a game ball sent from the normal ball outlet 774 to the door frame 5 side through the normal passage 773 is preferentially driven into the game area 1100, and the door frame 5 having only one storage tray. Even if it is exchanged, the game ball paid out from the prize ball device 740 can be immediately sent to the storage tray through the normal passage 773 and the normal ball outlet 774, so the time lag from payout to storage can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player due to a lack of game balls for driving, and to sufficiently cope with the door frame 5 having a different number of storage trays. .

  In addition, as long as the upper plate 301 is not full, the game balls paid out from the prize ball device 740 are sent to the upper plate 301, so that the frequency of transferring the game balls stored in the lower plate 302 to the upper plate 301 is reduced. This makes it possible to devote the player to a game ball driving operation and the like, and to suppress the player's interest in games from being reduced.

  Even if the normal sphere outlet 774 and the full sphere outlet 776 of the full tank branching unit 770 are arranged side by side and the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage tray, the first sphere The position of the lower end of the receiving port corresponding to the inlet 542a and the like can be set to the same height as the first ball inlet 542a and the like corresponding to the upper plate 301 of the door frame 5 provided with two storage plates. It becomes possible to avoid the depth becoming shallower, the storage tray can be deepened to secure a sufficient amount of game balls, and the game can be played without frequently worrying about the amount of storage for the player. Can be made to correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the main body frame 3 side, and the cost for changing the model of the pachinko machine 1 and the like increases. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, the position where the full tank passage 775 in the full tank branching unit 770 branches from the normal passage 773 is branched at a position as close as possible to the prize ball device 740, and the upper plate 301 is filled with game balls. Even if the game ball can no longer come out from the normal ball exit 774, the amount of game balls stored in the normal passage 773 from the normal ball exit 774 to the branch position of the full tank passage 775 is increased as much as possible. The amount of substantial game balls stored in the upper plate 301 can be increased as much as possible. In addition, in the case where only one storage tray is provided in the door frame 5, even if the storage tray becomes full of game balls and the game balls can no longer come out from the normal ball exit 773 or the full tank exit 776, Since the position where the full tank path 775 branches from the normal path 773 is arranged as close as possible to the prize ball device 740, many game balls are provided not only in the normal path 773 but also in the full tank path 775. Can be stored, and the substantial amount of game balls stored in the storage tray can be increased as much as possible. Therefore, even if the number of storage trays provided on the door frame 5 side is different, the storage amount of the game balls in each door frame 5 is maximized without changing the main body frame 3 side (full tank branching unit 770). The pachinko machine 1 can be increased to a limit and can sufficiently cope with different door frames 5.

  In addition, the normal passage 773 and the full tank passage 775 in the full tank branch unit 770 are wide enough to allow game balls to circulate in a plurality of rows, and the stopping amount (reserved amount) of the game balls in the full tank branch unit 770 is Since it can be increased, even if the number of storage dishes provided in the door frame 5 is different, it is possible to prevent the substantial storage amount of the game balls in the full tank branch unit 770 from decreasing. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 that can correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the flow path of the game balls in the main body frame 3 can be obtained.

  Moreover, since the inside of the normal passage 773 and the full tank passage 775 can be visually recognized from the outside by forming the full tank branch unit 770 with transparent resin, the game ball is clogged in the full tank branch unit 770 and a problem occurs. In this case, it is possible to easily find the place where the ball is clogged from the outside of the full tank branching unit 770, and it is possible to solve the problem at an early stage and increase the operating rate of the pachinko machine 1.

And a spring locking portion 793e for locking.

  In this example, the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790 is configured such that the shutter base 791 and the opening / closing shutter 792 are formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and are disposed on the rear side through the opening / closing shutter 792 even when the opening / closing shutter 792 is raised. The normal sphere outlet 774 and the full sphere outlet 776 in the full tank branching unit 770 are visible.

  In the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790 of this example, the driving pin 793c of the opening / closing crank 793 rotates in an up-down direction in an arc shape by rotating the opening / closing crank 793 around the axis extending in the front-rear direction, and at the same time, the driving pin 793c.

Since it can be opened and closed, even if the door frame 5 is opened with the game ball remaining in the full tank branch unit 770, the game ball is prevented from spilling from the normal ball exit 774 and the full tank exit 776. Can be done.

[1-3F. Substrate unit]
Next, the substrate unit 800 in the main body frame 3 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 83 to 89. FIG. 83 is a front perspective view of the board unit in the main body frame, and FIG. 84 is a rear perspective view of the board unit in the main body frame. FIG. 85 is an exploded perspective view of the substrate unit as seen from the front. Furthermore, FIG. 86 is an exploded perspective view of the substrate unit as seen from the exploded position. FIG. 87 is a perspective view for explaining the operation of the standing wall portion of the power supply board box in the board unit. 88A is a cross-sectional view of the terminal board box in the board unit, and FIG. 88B is an exploded perspective view of the terminal board box in the board unit as seen from the front. FIG. 89 (A) is a front view of the launch power supply board box, and FIG.

  The board unit 800 in the main body frame 3 includes a board unit base 810 attached to the rear surface of the lower rear wall 604 of the main body frame base 600, a speaker box 820 attached to the rear left side of the board unit base 810, and a board unit base. Of the power supply board box 830 attached to the rear face of the right end of the front view 810, the power supply board box holder 840 attached to the rear face of the board unit base 810 so as to surround the fired power supply board box 830 from the rear side, and A power supply board box 850 that is attached to the rear face and has a rear end that is substantially flush with the rear end of the speaker box 820, and a payout control board box 860 attached to the rear face of the power supply board box 850 and the speaker box 820. And the payout control board box A terminal board box 840 attached to the rear surface of the speaker box 820 so as to cover the left end portion of the front view of 860, and a main-side relay terminal board 880 and a peripheral-side relay terminal board 882 attached to the front face of the board unit base 810. I have.

  As shown in the figure, the substrate unit base 810 in the substrate unit 800 of the present example is configured to extend in the left-right direction, and the substantially central portion in the left-right direction is stepped downward and gradually tilted upward as it goes to the left and right ends. A wall-shaped shielding wall portion 811 protruding forward from the front surface, an opening portion 812 that is disposed above the position of the shielding wall portion 811 that is one step lower in the center in the left-right direction, penetrates in the front-rear direction, and the lower side of the shielding wall portion 811 And a board mounting portion 813 for mounting the main side relay terminal plate 880 and the peripheral side relay terminal plate 882, which is formed on the front surface in the vicinity of the left end when viewed from the front, A plurality of vertically long slits penetrating in the front-rear direction at positions corresponding to the tubular duct portion 814 that penetrates and the speaker 821 of the speaker box 820 fixed to the rear surface. A hole 815, and a rear view left (front view on the right) box accommodation portion 816 capable of accommodating the front is open rearwardly and upwardly to the rear surface of the upper firing power board box 830, the.

  The substrate unit base 810 is formed such that the shielding wall portion 811 is along the lower side of the main body frame base ball extraction passage 622 formed on the rear surface of the lower rear wall portion 604 in the main body frame base 600. The game ball can be prevented from dropping downward from the base ball removal passage 622, and the strength of the board unit base 810 can be increased. Further, the board base unit 810 sends the game balls flowing down the main body frame base ball removal passage 622 to the power supply board box holder 840 disposed on the rear side of the board unit base 810 through the opening 812 penetrating in the front-rear direction. Be able to.

  The board unit base 810 has a board mounting portion 813 for attaching the main relay terminal plate 880 and the peripheral relay terminal board 882 at a position corresponding to the rectangular opening 614 in the main body frame base 600. In the state where the main side relay terminal plate 880 and the peripheral side relay terminal plate 882 are attached to the board mounting portion 813, the main side relay terminal plate 880 and the peripheral side relay terminal plate 882 are located on the front side from the opening 614 of the main body frame base 600. It comes to face. Further, the board unit base 810 can transmit sound from the speaker 821 of the speaker box 820 to the front side satisfactorily by the duct portion 814 and the plurality of through holes 815.

  Further, the substrate unit base 810 is formed at a position corresponding to the front box housing portion 843 of the power supply board box holder 840 in which the box housing portion 816 is disposed on the rear side. The box housing portion 816 and the front box housing portion 843 are formed. Thus, a housing recess for housing the firing power supply substrate box 830 can be formed.

  The speaker box 820 in the board unit 800 is literally provided with a speaker 821 attached facing the front side. The speaker box 820 has a horizontally elongated opening 822 formed on the left side of the speaker 821 when viewed from the front, while covering the rear side of the speaker 821 in a sealed manner. Although not shown in detail, the opening 822 communicates with the space behind the speaker 821 through a predetermined labyrinth-like passage, thereby inverting the phase of the sound behind the speaker 821 and moving forward. The bass-reflex type speaker box is capable of emitting a deep bass to the diameter of the speaker 821. Note that the duct portion 814 in the board unit base 810 is formed at a position corresponding to the opening 822 of the speaker box 820, so that sound radiated from the opening 822 can be transmitted well forward. ing.

  The launch power supply board box 830 in the board unit 800 is formed in a box shape with the rear open, and includes a launch power supply board 831 attached so as to close the rear end opening. This launching power supply board box 830 accommodates various electronic components attached to the launching power supply board 831, and heat from the electronic parts etc. through slits 830a formed on the upper and lower surfaces. Can be released to the outside.

  This launching power supply board box 830 is detached from above into an accommodation recess opened upward by a box accommodation part 816 of the board unit base 810 and a front box accommodation part 844 of a power supply board box holder 840 described later. It is designed to be accommodated as possible. Thereby, in the state where the main body frame 3 is assembled, if a problem occurs in the launch power supply board box 830, the launch power supply board box 830 can be easily detached from the front side of the main body frame 3 to be replaced or repaired. (See FIG. 63).

  Further, the launch power supply board box 830 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 89, the launch power supply board 831 includes a DC / DC converter 831a and an electrolytic capacitor SC0 for charging and discharging power from the DC / DC converter 831a. The combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is supplied to the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650 and driven. This launching power supply board box 830 is formed with slits 830a as heat radiation holes on its upper and lower surfaces in order to release heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 mounted on the launching power supply board 831 to the outside. ing.

  In addition, since the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the launch power supply board 831 is an electronic component that is more easily damaged by heat than the DC / DC converter 831a, the side surface of the launch power supply board box 830 on which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is disposed has a heat dissipation hole. A slit 830a is formed. Further, the launching power supply board box 830 has a partition wall 830b that divides the internal space into two spaces, a space for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a and a space for accommodating the electrolytic capacitor SC0. And the bottom inner wall are integrally formed from the bottom surface to the end opening edge. Accordingly, when the launch power supply board 831 is attached to the end opening of the launch power supply board box 830 and the internal space of the launch power supply board box 830 is closed, the internal space of the launch power supply board box 830 accommodates the electrolytic capacitor SC0 by the partition wall 830b. Two spaces, an accommodation space 830c for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a, and an accommodation space 830c for accommodating the electrolytic capacitor SC0 are formed. , Functioning as a heat insulating wall that blocks heat from entering and exiting the housing space 830d for housing the DC / DC converter 831a.

  The heat in the accommodation space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is accommodated, that is, the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is a slit as a heat radiation hole formed in each of the upper surface, the side surface, and the lower surface communicating the accommodation space 830c with the outside air. By being discharged to the outside via 830a, the released heat can be prevented from entering the accommodation space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is accommodated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0 from being transmitted to the DC / DC converter 831a. Further, the heat in the accommodation space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is accommodated, that is, the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a is a heat radiation hole formed in the upper surface and the lower surface that communicate the accommodation space 830d with the outside air, respectively. As a result, the released heat can be prevented from entering the storage space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is stored. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a from being transmitted to the electrolytic capacitor SC0.

  In the present embodiment, the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for creating a combined current that flows to the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650 are not provided on the power board 851, but are fired separately from the power board 851. By providing the power supply board 831, the size of the launch power supply board 831 can be made smaller than the size of the power supply board 851. Therefore, it becomes easy to handle by reducing the size of the launch power supply substrate 831 and the replacement work of the launch power supply substrate 831 is facilitated, which contributes to shortening the time spent for the replacement work. In this replacement operation, the launch power supply board box 830 can be exchanged in a state where the launch power supply board 831 remains attached to the end opening of the launch power supply board box 830, that is, the launch power supply board box 830.

  Even if the pachinko machine 1 is operated and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 reaches the end of its life and the driving firing by the firing solenoid 654 suddenly becomes impossible to fire and the game has to be interrupted, it is easy to replace the firing power supply board 831. It is possible to eliminate the interruption of the game at an early stage. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the impossibility of firing due to the life of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 very easily, and it is possible to eliminate the interruption of the game due to the impossibility of firing at an early stage and resume the game, thereby reducing the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

  It should be noted that the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the firing power supply substrate 831 deteriorates and reaches the end of life due to repeated charging and discharging, for example, at a frequency of 100 times per minute every time driving firing by the firing solenoid 654 is performed. On the other hand, the power supply board 851 creates a DC power supply from the AC power supply of an island facility such as a game hall, but is not repeatedly charged and discharged at the same frequency as the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the launch power supply board 831. Compared with the launch power supply substrate 831, its lifetime is extremely long. In other words, the fired power supply board 831 reaches the end of its life due to deterioration associated with charging / discharging of the electrolytic capacitor SC0, while the power supply board 851 reaches the end of its life due to secular change. The DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for creating the merged current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 are not provided on the power supply board 851, but are provided on the launch power supply board 831 separate from the power supply board 851. Thus, electronic components accompanying long-term aging can be concentrated on the power supply board 851. As a result, it is possible to prevent the electronic component accompanying a long-life change over time from being replaced together with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 having a short life.

  In addition, since the firing power supply substrate 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for controlling the hitting ball launching device 650 can be detached from the front side through the game board holding port 601 for holding the game board 4, it has a capacity for changing the driving characteristics. Even if an attempt is made to change the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to a different one, it is necessary to remove the game board 4 held in the game board holding port 601 in order to remove the launch power board 831 and it is difficult to replace the launch power board 831. It is possible to prevent fraud, and it is possible to suppress fraud that deliberately changes the driving strength of the launch power supply substrate 831 that has been tampered with and optimized, and to make fraud difficult. A pachinko machine 1 that can prevent a player who has been frustrated from developing into a fraud such as a fraudulent act can be provided.

  In addition, since the launch power supply board 831 can be exchanged so as to be removable, even if an unauthorized operation is performed on the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the launch power supply board 831, the launch power supply board 831 can be replaced immediately and the unauthorized use can be made. It can be eliminated, and the interruption period of the game can be shortened as much as possible, and it is possible to eliminate the feeling of irritation or disappointment due to the interruption of the game at an early stage. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest in the game of the player.

  Furthermore, the launch power supply board 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 in the launch controller 4120 that controls the hitting ball launcher 650 is detachable from the front side through the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3 holding the game board 4. When the game board 4 is replaced due to a model change or the like, the launch power supply board 831 (launch power supply board box 830) of the launch control unit 4120 can be easily replaced, so it matches the concept of the new model to be replaced. Replacing the launching power supply board 831 equipped with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 and the DC / DC converter 831a capable of realizing the driving characteristics makes it possible to change the driving characteristics of the hitting ball launcher 650 previously provided in the main body frame 3 to a new game. It can be matched to board 4. Therefore, it is possible to easily match the driving characteristics of the game ball with the concept of the game board 4, so that the game with the new model of the game board 4 can be fully enjoyed, and the interest of the player is reduced. can do.

  In addition, since the launch power supply board 831 of the launch control unit 4120 can be detached from the front side, when replacing the launch power supply board 831, there is no need to open the main body frame 3 for island facilities such as a game hall, It is possible to simplify the time and labor required for exchange, and it is possible to exchange in a short time, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the game hall side. Further, since the launch power supply board 831 (launch power supply board box 830) can be exchanged so as to be removable, the driving characteristics are changed as compared with the case where the entire launch control unit 4120 (dispensing control board 4110) is exchanged. Cost can be reduced, and the burden on the hall side or the like can be reduced.

  Furthermore, when changing the model etc., only the game board 4 is replaced so that the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 can be used as they are. When the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the launching power supply board 831 deteriorates, as described above, the launching power supply board box 830 can be easily replaced from the front side. The problem can be resolved, the game interruption period can be shortened as much as possible, and it is possible to quickly eliminate irritation and disappointment due to the game interruption. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, the launch power board 831 (launch power board box 830) is supported through the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3, and the launch power board 831 is held in the game board holding port 601 for detachment. Since it is necessary to remove the game board 4, even if a tool for performing an illegal act enters the gap between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, the illegal tool reaches the launch power supply board 831 by the game board 4. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 can be prevented from being cheated on the fired power supply substrate 831 and also having a high defense against fraud.

  Further, the launch power supply board box 830 is supported through the game board holding port 601, and the position where the launch power supply board box 830 is supported is more rearward than the front surface of the main body frame 3. A space for supporting the board box 830 can be easily secured, and the pachinko machine 1 that supports the launch power board box 830 and exhibits the above-described effects can be reliably realized.

  Further, the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is provided in the firing power supply board 831. Since the firing power supply board 831 can be easily detached from the front side of the main body frame 3, power is supplied from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the firing solenoid 654. Even if the load on the electrolytic capacitor SC0 becomes large and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is likely to deteriorate, the electrolytic capacitor SC0 (launching power supply substrate 831) can be easily replaced, and the malfunction can be solved at an early stage to interrupt the game. The time can be shortened as much as possible, and the pachinko machine 1 that reliably exhibits the above-described effects can be obtained.

The rear side of the substrate unit base 810 passes through the opening 812 of the substrate base unit 810 through the main body frame base ball passage 622 formed on the rear surface of the lower rear wall portion 604 of the main body frame base 600. The game ball that has flowed down and the game ball that has been discharged from the out-ball discharge unit 1161 of the game board 4 and received by the discharge ball receiving unit 841, which will be described in detail later, pass through the discharge passage 842 to the lower rear side of the pachinko machine 1. Can be discharged.

  The power supply board box holder 840 is formed at a position corresponding to the box accommodation part 816 of the board unit base 810, and the box accommodation part 816 and the front box accommodation part 843 accommodate the emission power supply board box 830. A recess can be formed.

  Furthermore, the power supply board box 850 in the board unit 800 is formed in a horizontally long box shape with the front open, and includes a power supply board 851 attached so as to close the front end opening. The power supply board box 850 accommodates various electronic components attached to the power supply board 851, and externally transfers heat from the electronic parts and the like through a plurality of slits 850a formed on the upper surface and the lower surface. Can be released. As shown in FIG. 86, a power switch 852 attached to the power supply board 851 faces the rear surface of the power supply board box 850.

  The power supply board box 850 is a standing wall that protrudes rearward along the lower side of the opening where the power supply terminal 853 (see FIGS. 84 and 86) attached to the lower side of the power switch 852 in the power supply board 851 faces the rear side. The wiring cord 854 can be inserted between the portion 850b, the protruding portion 850c protruding rearward from both sides of the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, and the outer periphery of the power supply board box 850 disposed on the front side and the lower side of the standing wall portion 850b.

  Further, the back cover 900 can be pivotally supported with respect to the main body frame 3 by pivotally supporting the pivot pins 906 of the back cover 900 on the back cover pivot support portion 623 of the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600). Therefore, by simply rotating the back cover 900 in the closing direction and closing the rear side of the game board holding port 601 in the main body frame 3, the insertion hole 921 of the back cover 900 and the back cover fastening of the main body frame 3 are fastened. The hole 780b can be easily aligned, and the fastening member 924 held by the back cover 900 through the insertion hole 921 can be easily fastened to the back cover fastening hole 780b. Further, since the back cover 900 is pivotally supported with respect to the main body frame 3, the back cover 900 can be opened even when the fastening by the fastening member 924 is released and the back cover 900 is opened during maintenance or the like. It is possible to keep the cover 900 pivotally supported on the main body frame 3, and it is not necessary to remove the back cover 900 from the main body frame 3, and the time and effort required to open and close the back cover 900 can be simplified.

[1-3H. Side security board]
Next, the side crime prevention plate 950 in the main body frame 3 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 66 and 67. The side security plate 950 in the main body frame 3 forms the left side surface of the main body frame 3 in a front view as shown in the figure, and is attached to the main body frame base 600. The side security plate 950 includes a metal main body 952 that is extruded in a shallow U shape in plan view, and a mounting bracket 954 that is fixed to the top and bottom near the inner front end of the main body 952 and attached to the front surface of the main body frame base 600. A positioning member 956 that is fixed to the inside of the main body 952 and engages with the positioning recess 1119 of the game board 4.

  A main body 952 of the side security plate 950 includes a side plate piece 952a having a length substantially the same as the height of the main body frame base 600 and extending in the vertical direction and having a substantially constant depth in the front-rear direction, and a right side when viewed from the front end of the side plate piece 952a. A front end piece 952b extending in the direction, a middle piece 952c that is disposed so as to form a predetermined amount of gap on the rear side of the front end piece 952b and has a smaller protruding amount than the front end piece 952b, and a front face from the rear end of the side plate piece 952a. And a rear end piece 952d extending longer than the front end piece 952b in the rightward direction (see FIG. 108). The main body 952 is formed in a shallow U-shape by a side plate piece 952a, a front end piece 952b, and a rear end piece 952d, and the front component member 1110 in the game board 4 is interposed between the middle piece 952c and the rear end piece 952d. A left side portion in front view with the game panel 1150 is inserted (see FIG. 108).

  The side security plate 950 of this example is configured such that the mounting bracket 954 is attached to the front surface of the main body frame base 600 and the rear end piece 952d of the main body 952 is attached to the rear surface of the main body frame base 600. When the side security plate 950 is in a state in which the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the front end piece 952 b of the main body 952 is connected to the shaft side of the shaft side reinforcing sheet metal 152 in the reinforcing unit 150 of the door frame 5. It is designed to be inserted into the U-shape of the U-shaped projecting piece 166 and to prevent the insertion of a tool for performing an illegal act between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 on the left side when viewed from the front. (See FIG. 108). The main body 952 of the side security plate 950 is made of a metal (for example, aluminum alloy) extrusion mold material, and has a front end piece 952b, a middle piece 952c, and a middle piece 952c arranged in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the side plate piece 952a. Since the rear end piece 952d is provided, the strength and rigidity of the side security plate 950 are increased, so that the overall strength of the main body frame 3 can be increased to favorably support the game board 4, the door frame 5, and the like. It has become.

  Thus, according to this example, when the front surface of the main body frame 3 is closed with the door frame 5, the door frame 5 is interposed between the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c formed inside the front end of the crime prevention side face plate 950. The rear side piece of the pivot-side U-shaped projecting piece 166 formed in a substantially U-shape of the reinforcing unit 150 is inserted (enters), and the front end piece 952b is inserted into the pivot-side U-shape. Therefore, even if the door frame 5 is forcibly opened with respect to the main body frame 3, the U-shaped protrusion 166 on the pivotal side of the door frame 5 is attached to the front end piece 952 b of the main body frame 3. It is possible to prevent the pivoted U-shaped projecting piece 166 of the door frame 5 from moving in a direction away from the main body frame 3 and prevent the closed door frame 5 from being opened. And can be used to perform illegal acts such as opening the door frame 5 against the main body frame 3 It can be a pachinko machine 1 that can be stopped.

  In addition, since the security side plate 950 formed of metal in the main body frame 3 and the reinforcing unit 150 formed of metal in the door frame 5 are fitted, the space between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 is set. The body frame 3 and the door frame 5 can be made difficult to be distorted by an unauthorized tool, and the crime prevention performance in the pachinko machine 1 can be improved. In addition, since the main body frame base 600 that supports the game board 4 is formed of synthetic resin, the security side plate 950 on the side that supports the door frame 5 (the shaft support side) is formed of metal. Compared with the case where the entire body frame 3 is made of metal, the cost associated with the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

  Furthermore, the door frame hook portion 1041 of the locking device 1000 that locks the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3 is engaged with the hook cover 165 of the reinforcing unit 150 in the door frame 5 at one location between the upper and lower ends. Since the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 on the lock device 1000 side (open side) are locked by the three door frame hook portions 1041, the open side is illegal such as a bar. Even if the tool is scooped by an easy tool, it is possible to prevent the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 from being spread well, and to prevent the door frame 5 from being forcibly opened.

  Further, the rear end of the side piece 952a in the crime prevention side plate 950 is extended rearward from the front surface (game area 1100) of the game board 4, and the dimension in the front-rear direction of the side piece 952a is increased. Since the bending rigidity with respect to the load applied in the front-rear direction is increased, the strength and rigidity of the security side plate 950 as a whole can be further increased, and it is possible to prevent the crime prevention side plate 950 from being forcibly bent and being cheated. .

  Further, since the security side plate 950 of the main body frame 3 is formed by a metal extrusion mold material, the security side plate 950 (main body 952) having a predetermined cross-sectional shape having the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c can be easily obtained. It can be formed, and even if the crime prevention performance of the pachinko machine 1 is enhanced, the increase in cost can be suppressed, and defects such as a decrease in strength that occur during processing are compared with the case where the metal plate is bent. The security side plate 950 can be reduced as much as possible and has high durability and high strength.

When the hook member 1052 slides, it can be smoothly slid without play.

  Next, assembly of the lock device 1000 of this embodiment will be described. To assemble the lock device 1000, the upper hook member 1051 and the lower hook member 1052 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 are connected by a connecting wire rod 1053, and the guide projection of the door frame sliding rod 1040 in that state is connected. The piece 1043 is inserted into the protruding piece moving holes 1056 and 1064 of the upper hook member 1051 and the lower hook member 1052, and the rivet elongated holes 1042 and the rivet elongated holes 1055 and 1061 are aligned and overlapped. In the combined state, the hook portion 1054 of the upper hook member 1051 and the hook portion 1065 of the lower hook member 1052 are passed through the hook penetration opening 1002 of the U-shaped base body 1001, and the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the main body frame slide are inserted. After inserting the pallet 1050 into the U-shaped space of the U-shaped base 1001, the rivet 1006 is inserted through the insertion hole 1005.

  When the rivet 1006 is inserted, the rivet 1006 is inserted so as to pass through the rivet long holes 1055, 1061, 1042. When the lowermost rivet 1006 is inserted, it is necessary to insert the rivet 1006 into the swing shaft hole 1025 of the first tamper-proof member 1023 and attach the first tamper-proof member 1023 to the U-shaped base 1001 at the same time. Further, before attaching the first tamper-proof member 1023 to the U-shaped base 1001, the first tamper-proof member 1023 and the second tamper-proof member 1032 are coupled by the coupling pin 1034, and the guide pin 1028 is coupled to the pin hole. It is necessary to insert the guide pin 1028 into the opening at the lowermost end of the insertion vertical opening 1020 after it is fixed at 1029 with a screw (not shown).

  Furthermore, with the rivet 1006, the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are housed and fixed in the U-shaped base 1001, and the spring 1048 is spanned between the spring hook portions 1046 and 1057, The frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are biased in opposite directions, and the spring 1035 is stretched over the spring locking piece 1021 and the spring locking hole 1036 to prevent the second fraud. It is assumed that the member 1032 is in contact with the restriction protrusion 1031. Thereafter, the cylindrical body portion of the cylinder lock 1010 is inserted into the lock insertion hole 1009 of the lock attachment piece 1008, and the cylinder lock 1010 is fixed to the attachment hole 1014 with a screw 1012.

The cylinder lock 1010 is attached to the lock attachment piece 1008 so that the tip of the piece 1018 is slightly inserted into the protruding piece insertion hole 1026 and the insertion vertical opening 1020 of the first fraud prevention member 1023.

  In order to attach the assembled locking device 1000 to the back surface of the main body frame base 600 in this way, the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 is inserted into the door hook hole 620 formed in the main body frame base 600. While being inserted, the locking protrusion 1004 protruding in a bowl shape is inserted into the door hook hole 620 and the lock locking hole 621 of the main body frame base 600 and moved upward, and in this state, the screw fixing portion 1003 protruding in the horizontal direction is provided. The lock device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the back surface of the main body frame base 600 by matching the lock mounting portion 625 and screwing a screw (not shown) into the matched hole. In particular, in the case of the present embodiment, the locking protrusion 1004 constituting the locking structure of the front portion is formed to protrude from the side surface 1001a that does not contact the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped base 1001, while the rear portion is fixed. Since the screw fixing portion 1003 constituting the structure is formed so as to project in the horizontal direction from the side surface 1001b that contacts the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped base body 1001, the front locking structure contacts the peripheral wall portion 605. Compared with the case where it is formed on the side surface 1001b, the locking device 1000 can be fixed to the main body frame base 600 so as not to be loose.

  Next, the operation of the locking device 1000 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 96 and 97. As shown in FIG. 96, when the main body frame base 600 (main body frame 3) is closed with respect to the outer frame 2 and the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. Further, the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 are locked, and the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the door frame 5 The hook cover 165 is locked. In this state, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the first engagement protrusion 1017 of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated in a direction to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The front end of the first engagement protrusion 1017 engages with the lower engagement hole 1062 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 to depress the lower hook member 1052 downward against the urging force of the spring 1048, and is connected thereto. The connected connecting rod 1053 and the upper hook member 1051 are also pushed down and lowered. As a result, the locking state between the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 is released, and the main body frame 3 is removed by pulling the main body frame 3 to the front side. The frame 2 can be opened.

  When the main body frame 3 is closed, the hook portions 1054 and 1065 are lifted by the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same lifted position as in the state shown in FIG. 96A). , 1065 is inclined downward toward the outer side, so that the upper side inclined portion of the hook portions 1054, 1065 is formed on the closing plates 24, 25 by forcibly pressing the main body frame 3 against the outer frame 2. Since it contacts the lower end, the main body frame sliding rod 1050 descends downward, and the upward claw portions of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 are locked again, thereby sliding the main body frame. The hook 1050 is raised and returned to the locked state.

  On the other hand, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the second engagement protrusion 1018 of the engagement cam 1016 rotates in a direction to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The front end of the two engaging protrusions 1018 engages with the ascending engagement hole 1045 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 and pushes the door frame sliding rod 1040 upwardly against the urging force of the spring 1048. For this reason, the hook state 165 of the door frame 5 and the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 are released, so that the door frame 5 is pulled by pulling the door frame 5 to the front side. The main frame 3 can be opened.

  When the door frame 5 is closed, the door frame hook portion 1041 is lowered by the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same lowered position as in the state shown in FIG. 96A). Since the lower side of the hook part 1041 for the door is inclined upward toward the outside, the lower side inclined part of the hook part 1041 for the door frame is hooked to the hook cover 165 by forcibly pressing the door frame 5 against the main body frame 3. The door frame sliding rod 1040 is raised upward, and the downward claw portion of the door frame hook portion 1041 and the hook cover 165 are re-engaged with each other. The pail 1040 descends and returns to the locked state. The door frame sliding rod 1040 according to the present embodiment is formed to have a length substantially the same as the full length of the U-shaped base 1001, and the U-shaped base 1001 is substantially the vertical side surface of the main body frame 3. The door frame hook portion 1041 that is attached over the entire length and is a locking portion with the door frame 5 is formed at three locations of the upper end portion, the center portion, and the lower end portion of the door frame sliding rod 1040. Therefore, it is possible to securely lock the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 in the entire length in the vertical direction, and forcibly open the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 and insert an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire from the inside. The act cannot be performed.

  Thus, the locking device 1000 of the main body frame 3 of this embodiment releases the locking of the main body frame 3 with respect to the outer frame 2 by rotating the key inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 in one direction, and in the other direction. The door frame 5 can be unlocked with respect to the main body frame 3 by rotating. Further, the locking device 1000 of this example performs an illegal act of hooking a piano wire or the like on the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 and lowering it without inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010. Can not be. The first structure for preventing such fraud is a lock mechanism composed of a first fraud prevention member 1023 and a second fraud prevention member 1032, and the second fraud prevention structure is a U-shaped base 1001. The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are accommodated in the closed space.

  First, the operation of the lock mechanism, which is the first fraud prevention structure, will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 3 are closed, as shown in FIG. 97 (A), the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 are in contact. It has become a state. In this state, the first fraud prevention member 1023 is rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring 1035 so that the stopper piece 1027 enters the fraud prevention notch 1007 and the stopper piece 1027 is intrusion prevention notch. The main body frame sliding rod 1050 at a position corresponding to 1007 is engaged with an engagement notch 1066 formed on the lower hook member 1052. As a result, even if the piano frame or the like is hooked onto the main body frame sliding rod 1050 and pulled down, the stopper piece portion 1027 and the engagement notch portion 1066 are engaged. Unauthorized pulling down (unlocking) becomes impossible, and an illegal act of opening the main body frame 3 cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, when the main body frame 3 is properly unlocked by inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010, the first engagement protrusion of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated by rotating the key as shown in FIG. The piece 1017 is rotated so as to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020. When the first engagement protrusion 1017 is rotated, the inclined portion 1024 of the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the side surface of the first engagement protrusion 1017 come into contact with each other. The stopper piece 1027 starts to rotate around the angle 1025 in the clockwise direction shown in the figure, and also moves so as to be retracted from the tamper-proof notch 1007. As a result, the engagement between the stopper piece 1027 and the engagement notch 1066 is released. At this time, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in a position where the spring 1035 is extended and the contact portion 1037 is retracted. When the engagement cam 1016 is further rotated in this state and the first engagement protrusion 1017 is also rotated, the tip of the first engagement protrusion 1017 is engaged with the lower engagement hole 1062 of the lower hook member 1052. Since the entire body frame sliding rod 1050 is lowered, the hooked state of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 is released, and the main body frame 3 is released from the outer frame 2. Can be done.

  Note that when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in contact with the restriction protrusion 1031, so the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member The positional relationship with 1032 is substantially the same as the state shown in FIG. When the main body frame 3 is closed in this state, the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 contact from the front, and finally the state shown in FIG. 97 (A) is obtained. Thereby, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 do not get in the way when the main body frame 3 is closed. In the present embodiment, the first tamper-proof member 1023 and the second tamper-proof member 1032 prevent only the lowering operation of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 from being illegally performed. If the frame sliding rod 1050 is opened improperly, the door frame sliding rod 1040 can be easily opened manually after being released, and the illegal act of raising the sliding rod with a piano wire or the like is practically difficult to perform. For this reason, it has been devised to prevent unauthorized operation of the body frame sliding rod 1050.

  Further, even in the lock mechanism that is the above-described first fraud prevention structure, it is impossible to disable the function of the lock mechanism by swinging the first fraud prevention member 1023 with a piano wire or the like. Absent. Therefore, assuming that the lock function of the lock mechanism is disabled by an unauthorized action, in the present embodiment, in the state where the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600), the internal The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 provided in the housing are housed in the closed space of the U-shaped base body 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, and are completely covered. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to pull down the body frame sliding rod 1050 provided inside the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 by inserting a piano wire or the like, both side surfaces 1001a, 1001b of the U-shaped base 1001 Since the intruder is prevented from entering the closed space, the structure is such that it is not possible to easily perform the illegal act.

  As described above, the lock device 1000 of the present embodiment has the sliding frame 1040 for the door frame in the inside of the U-shaped base 1001 whose width is extremely thin as compared with the conventional lock device concentrated on the L-shaped base. The body frame sliding rod 1050 is slidably provided and the cylinder lock 1010 for operating the locking device 1000 is attached to the U-shaped base 1001 at a position below the lower end side of the game board 4. Therefore, even if the size of the game board 4 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is extremely large, and the space surrounded by the side walls 540 to 543 of the main body frame 3 is increased, the lock device 1000 is placed on the back side of the main body frame 3. Can be attached firmly.

  Moreover, since the open side of the U-shaped base 1001 is attached so that the open side of the U-shaped cross section faces the back surface of the main body frame 3, The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are completely covered by the U-shaped base body 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, respectively. It is impossible to easily perform an illegal act such as pulling down a body frame sliding rod 1050 provided inside by inserting a piano wire or the like.

  Further, when the locking device 1000 is attached, the locking protrusions 1004 formed at the upper, middle, and lower portions of the open side (front portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are inserted into the door hook hole 620 and the lock locking hole 621. The structure is such that the screw fixing portions 1003 formed at the upper, middle, and lower portions of the closed side (rear portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are fixed to the lock mounting portion 625 with screws. With this structure, the lock device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600).

  In the locking device 1000 of this example, the screw fixing portion 1003 formed in the lock mounting piece 1008 and the upper portion of the cylinder lock through hole 611 of the main body frame 3 as a structure for fixing the lower portion of the U-shaped base 1001 with screws. Although the structure in which the formed lock attachment portion 625 is screwed is shown, instead of this, a screw 1012 for attaching the cylinder lock 1010 to the lock attachment piece 1008 is used, and the tip of the screw 1012 is attached to the lock. It is good also as a structure which forms the lock attachment hole penetrated through the piece 1008 and the cylinder lock penetration hole 611 up and down. Even if the lower portion of the U-shaped base 1001 is not screwed, the locking device 1000 can be attached to the main body frame 3 (main body frame only by fixing the screw fixing portion 1003 and the lock mounting portion 625 at the rear of the locking device 1000. It can be fixed sufficiently firmly on the back surface of the base 600).

  In the lock device 1000 of this example, the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are completely covered with the U-shaped base 1001 having the left and right side surfaces 1001a and 1001b. For example, the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are slidably mounted on the opposite side surface 1001a not in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605 with a rivet or the like, and the side surface 1001b in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605 is omitted. The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod are formed in a closed space formed by the side surface 1001a of the L-shaped substrate (tablet substrate) and the first side wall 540. It is good also as a structure which accommodates 1050, and there can exist an effect similar to the locking device 1000 mentioned above.

  As described above, according to the main body frame 3 of the present example, the transparent prize ball base 710 having the peripheral wall portion 710a extending rearward (front-rear direction) on the rear side of the body frame base 600, and the upper side of the prize ball base 710 The prize ball tank 720 for storing the game balls supplied from the island facility side of the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed is aligned with the game balls discharged from the prize ball tank 720 to align the rear wall portion 710b of the prize ball base. A transparent tank rail unit 730 mounted on the rear side, and a game ball released from the tank rail unit 730 is discharged to the upper plate 301 of the door frame 5 based on a predetermined payout instruction, and the rear wall portion 710b of the prize ball base 710 A part of the award ball device 740 that is attached to the rear side and a side portion 904 that extends to the rear end of the main body frame base 600 and the rear surface of the tank rail unit 730 and the award ball device 740 are rear. And a transparent back cover 900 arranged substantially in the same plane as that of the game board 4 held in the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame base 600 through the prize ball base 710, the back cover 900, and the like. A pachinko machine that can visually check the rear side of the game board 4 without opening the back cover 900 that covers the rear side of the game board 4. 1 can be used.

  Further, not only the rear side (rear surface) of the game board 4 but also the rear side surface of the game board 4 can be visually recognized through the transparent prize base 710, the back cover 900, etc. When the game board 4 is removed from the front side to the 601, even if tools such as a screwdriver or pliers, cleaning waste, dust or dirt remain between the game board 4 and the back cover 900, remove them. It can be easily detected from the image, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of any malfunction due to the residue.

  Further, as described above, since the rear surface and rear side surface of the game board 4 can be viewed from the outside, unauthorized devices and tools for performing illegal acts are attached to the rear side and side surfaces of the game board 4. Even if it is done, it can be easily discovered, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts from being performed, and it is also possible to easily find unauthorized devices attached to the game board 4 from the outside, The pachinko machine 1 having a high deterrence against fraudulent behavior can be provided, which can be used to prevent unauthorized installation of devices.

  Further, since the rear side of the game board 4 is covered with the prize ball base 710 and the back cover 900, other members in the island facility where the game board 4 is installed come into contact with the game board 4 or the game board 4 It is possible to prevent foreign matters such as dust and dust from adhering to the rear side, and it is possible to keep the game board 4 in a good state and suppress the occurrence of problems.

  In addition, the rear surface of the prize ball tank 720 is located at a position about twice as deep as the depth D of the main body frame base 600 from the front end of the main body frame base 600, that is, the depth D of the main body frame base 600. Is about half the depth of the main body frame 3, the rear side and the rear side surface of the game board 4 can be more easily seen through the prize ball base 710, the back cover 900, and the like, and the above-described effects are surely achieved. be able to. Further, since the depth D of the main body frame base 600 is about half of the depth of the main body frame 3, the height when the main body frame base 600 is turned down can be made as low as possible to obtain a flat shape. Further, it is possible to facilitate the attaching operation of attaching the prize ball base 710, the back cover 900, the tank rail unit 730, the prize ball device 740, etc. to the rear side of the main body frame base 600.

Here, a basic configuration of the game board 4 will be described, and a detailed configuration will be described later.

[1-4A. Previous component]
Next, the front component member 1110 in the game board 4 will be described. The front component member 1110 in the game board 4 of this example has a substantially rectangular shape whose outer shape can be inserted into the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3, and the inner shape penetrates in a front-rear direction in a substantially circular shape. The outer periphery of the game area 1100 is defined by the inner periphery of the inner shape. The front component member 1110 has an outer rail 1111 that extends in an arc shape from the lower left end toward the left side from the center in the left-right direction in a front view and extends to the upper right side through the center upper end in the left-right direction in the front view. An inner rail 1112 that is arranged substantially inside the outer rail 1111 along the outer rail 1111 and extends in an arc shape from the center lower part in the left-right direction in front view to the upper left part in the front view so as to smoothly continue from the lower end of the inner rail 1112 An inner peripheral rail 1113 extending in an arc shape to a position below the end (upper end) of the outer rail 1111 along the counterclockwise circumferential direction when viewed from the front, and the end (upper end) of the inner peripheral rail 1113 and the outer rail 1111 , The inner rail 1112 and the inner peripheral rail 1113, which can be contacted with the game ball rolling along the outer rail 1111. Is located at the lowermost end of the game area 1100 at the boundary of the outer area, and is supported by the upper end of the inner rail 1112 so as to be rotatable, and closes between the outer rail 1111. In this way, it is possible to rotate only between the closed position extending upward from the upper end of the inner rail 1112 and the open position where the outer rail 1111 is opened by rotating in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. And a backflow prevention member 1116 biased by a spring (not shown) so as to return to the closed position side.

  When the game board 4 is attached to the main body frame 3, the front component member 1110 has a lower end opening between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112 as shown in FIG. It is positioned on the extension of the firing rail 660 in the device 650. Between the lower end of the outer rail 1111 and the upper end of the launch rail 660, a space extending in the left-right direction and downward is formed, and the game ball launched along the launch rail 660 of the hit ball launcher 650 is Then, it jumps over the space and is driven between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112 from the lower end opening between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112. The game ball driven between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112 rolls upward along the outer rail 1111 according to the momentum, and the backflow prevention member 1116 pivotally supported on the upper end of the inner rail 1112 is used. The player can enter the game area 1100 by rotating it toward the open position against the urging force.

  In addition, when the game ball is strongly hit by the hit ball launching device 650, the game ball that rolls along the outer rail 1111 in the game area 1100 comes into contact with the stop portion 1114 provided at the end of the outer rail 1111. The rolling direction of the game ball can be forcibly changed by the game ball coming into contact with the stop 1114, and the game ball rolls continuously from the outer rail 1111 to the inner rail 1113. It can be prevented from moving. Note that even if a game ball that has entered (or has been driven into) the game area 1100 attempts to return between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112, the backflow prevention member 1116 returns to the closed position by the biasing force before that. Thus, the backflow prevention member 1116 prevents the backflow of the game ball.

  In addition, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 is not received in a starting port 2101, 2102, a winning port 2103, 2104, 2201, etc., which will be described later, it flows down to the lower end of the game area 1100. Then, it is guided to the out port 1151 of the game panel 1150 by the out port guiding surface 1115 at the boundary between the inner rail 1112 and the inner peripheral rail 1113, and discharged from the out port 1151 downward to the rear side of the game board 4. ing.

[1-5. Security structure of pachinko machine]
Next, the crime prevention structure in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. FIG. 108 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a security structure on the shaft support side of the pachinko machine. FIG. 109 is a perspective view seen from the rear side in a state in which the game board is accommodated.

  First, as shown in FIG. 108, the security structure on the pivot support side in the pachinko machine 1 of this example is a side surface on the pivot support side (left side in front view) of the main body frame base 600 formed of the synthetic resin in the main body frame 3. The metal crime prevention side plate 950 attached to the door frame 5 and the metal reinforcing unit 150 attached to the rear surface of the door frame base 110 formed of the synthetic resin in the door frame 5 are configured.

  As described above, the security side plate 950 of the main body frame 3 is formed of an extrusion mold material made of metal (for example, aluminum alloy), and the vertical dimension is substantially the same as the vertical dimension of the main body frame base 600. In addition, the dimension in the front-rear direction is larger than the dimension in the front-rear direction in which the front component member 1110 and the game panel 1150 in the game board 4 are combined. This side crime prevention plate 950 extends in the vertical direction, extends in the front-rear direction, and forms a side surface of the main body frame 3, and a front end extending from the front end of the side piece 952a to the inner side (open side) in a substantially right angle direction. A piece 952b, a middle piece 952c extending along the front end piece 952b from the side piece 952a so as to form a predetermined amount of clearance on the rear side of the front end piece 952b, and extending inward from the rear end of the side piece 952a in a substantially perpendicular direction. And a rear end piece 952d. Thus, the front end of the security side plate 950 has a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens inward (open side) by the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c.

  Further, the side security plate 950 (main body 952) has the strength and rigidity of the side security plate 950 by the front end piece 952b, the middle piece 952c, and the rear end piece 952d arranged in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the side plate piece 952a.

If an unauthorized tool such as a screwdriver or a bar is inserted between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is deformed, and the gap between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 is increased. There is a risk of cheating. On the other hand, in the security structure of this example, when the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c formed inside the front end of the security side face plate 950 are provided. A rear piece of a pivot-side U-shaped projecting piece 166 formed in a substantially U-shape of the reinforcing unit 150 in the door frame 5 is inserted (enters), and the front end piece 952a is pivotally supported. The side U-shaped projecting piece 166 is sandwiched. Accordingly, even if the door frame 5 is forcibly opened with respect to the main body frame 3, the shaft-supporting U-shaped projecting piece 166 of the door frame 5 comes into contact with the rear surface side of the front end piece 952 b of the main body frame 3. Since the pivot-side U-shaped projecting piece 166 can be prevented from moving in a direction away from the main body frame 3, the closed door frame 5 can be prevented from being opened, and the main body frame can be prevented. It is possible to prevent a fraudulent act such as opening the door frame 5 with respect to 3.

  In addition, since the security side plate 950 formed of metal in the main body frame 3 and the reinforcing unit 150 formed of metal in the door frame 5 are fitted, the space between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 is set. Since the strength and rigidity of the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 can be made difficult to be distorted by an unauthorized tool, the crime prevention performance can be improved.

  Further, since the rear end of the side piece 952a in the security side plate 950 extends rearward from the game panel 1150 in the game board 4, the main body frame base 600 on the rear side of the rear end of the side piece 952a is assumed. Even if the player is destroyed, an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire cannot be entered from the rear end of the side piece 952a into the game area 1100 on the front surface of the game board 4 (game panel 1150). Can be surely prevented. As shown in FIG. 108, the side frame plate 12 of the outer frame 2 is in contact with the outside of the security side plate 950, so that the pachinko machine 1 has a robust side surface. It can be fully countered against the destruction of the. In general, in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, the side surface of the pachinko machine 1 is inserted and fixed within the frame of the island facility for installing the pachinko machine 1, so that the player side From the (front side), it is almost impossible to allow an unauthorized tool to enter the rear side of the rear end of the side piece 952c, and the crime prevention performance of the pachinko machine 1 is further improved.

  Next, as a crime prevention structure from the rear side in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, as shown in FIG. 109, the prize ball base 710, the tank rail 731 and the prize ball device 740 in the main body frame 3 that houses the game board 4 are used. Since the unit base 741, the full tank branch unit 770, and the back cover 900 are formed of a transparent synthetic resin, the game board 4 is connected to the rear side or the side of the game board 4 accommodated in the main body frame 3. Even if it is not removed from the main body frame 3 or the back cover 900 is not opened, it can be viewed from the rear side of the main body frame 3. As a result, even if an unauthorized device is attached to the rear side of the game board 4 or the like, it can be easily discovered and illegal acts can be prevented. Further, since it is possible to easily find an unauthorized device or the like attached to the game board 4 from the outside, it is possible to hesitate to attach an unauthorized device, and it is possible to increase deterrence against unauthorized acts. ing.

  In addition, since the rear side and the side surface of the game board 4 can be visually recognized from the rear side of the main body frame 3 through the transparent prize base 710, the back cover 900, etc., the main body frame can be used for maintenance and model change. When the game board 4 is attached to or detached from the board 3, even if tools such as a screwdriver or pliers, cleaning waste, dust or dirt remain between the main body frame 3 and the game board 4, remove them. Therefore, it is possible to prevent any trouble from occurring, and to improve the maintainability of the pachinko machine 1.

[2. Detailed configuration of game board]

It is the perspective view seen from.

  As shown in the figure, the game board 4 in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment has an outer rail 1111 and an inner rail 1112, and a frame-shaped front component member 1110 </ b> A that defines an outer periphery of a game area 1100 into which game balls are driven. A gaming panel 1150 arranged to close the gaming area 1100 on the rear side of the front component member 1110A, and a first start port 2101 arranged on the left side in the gaming area 1100 and supported on the front surface of the gaming panel 1150. The first winning device unit 2200 disposed above the first start port 2101 and supported on the front surface of the gaming panel 1150, and disposed on the right side in the gaming area 1100 so as to be substantially the same height as the first winning device unit 2200. And a second winning device unit 2250 supported on the front surface of the gaming panel 1150 and above the second winning device unit 2250. The gate unit 2104 placed and supported on the front surface of the gaming panel 1150, and arranged along the outer periphery of the gaming area 1100 from the left side to the lower side of the first winning device unit 2200 and supported on the front surface of the gaming panel 1150 A side prize opening unit 2300, a center accessory 2400 that is arranged at a substantially central portion of the game area 1100 and supported on the front surface of the game panel 1150, a back unit 3000 attached to the rear side of the game panel 1150, and a game panel 1150 And a liquid crystal display device 1900 that is attached so as to be visible from the player side through the frame of the center accessory 2400 and displays a predetermined effect image and notification information. Hereinafter, the configuration of each device mounted on the game panel 1150 will be described in detail.

[2-1. First start port and first winning equipment unit]
First, the first start port and the first winning device unit will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 116 is an exploded perspective view of the main unit of the game board disassembled for each main member and viewed obliquely from the front, and FIG. 117 is a perspective view of the first start port and the first winning device unit viewed obliquely from the front. 118 is a front view showing a state in which the blades of the first winning device unit are closed, and FIG. 119 is a front view showing a state in which the blades of the first winning device unit are opened, and FIG. FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view of the first winning device unit disassembled for each main member and viewed obliquely from the front, and FIG. 121 is an exploded perspective view of the driving device in the first winning device unit disassembled and viewed from the oblique front. FIG. 122 is a perspective view of the mechanism portion of the driving means as viewed obliquely from the front.

  As shown in FIG. 116, the first start port 2101 of this example is inserted from the front side into the opening 1150a formed on the left side of the center in the left-right direction of the game panel 1150, and then the game panel 1150 It is fixed to the front. As shown in FIG. 111, the first start port 2101 is configured to receive a game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100. It has a shape and can accept game balls at all times.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 116, the first winning device unit 2200 is inserted from the front side into the opening 1150b formed on the upper side of the opening 1150a in the gaming panel 1150, and then the front side of the gaming panel 1150. It is fixed to. As shown in FIGS. 117 and 120, the first prize winning device unit 2200 is attached to the base member 2210 fixed to the front surface of the game panel 1150 and the front lower portion of the base member 2210, and the game ball passes through the center in the left-right direction. A game ball passage member 2212 having a possible chance opening 2211, a pair of blades 2213 whose lower part is accommodated in the game ball passage member 2212 and supported by the shaft pin 2214 so as to be expandable, and a pair of blades 2213 are rotated. Driving means 2215 to be moved, and the chance port 2211 is arranged so as to be located immediately above the first start port 2101.

  Although the configuration of the driving means 2215 is not particularly limited, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 120 and 121, a motor 2217 supported by a substantially cylindrical motor holder 2216 and a motor presser 2218, A motor cam 2219 connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 2217, a frame-shaped link cover 2220 fixed to the rear surface of the base member 2210, and a link 2221 that is rotatably supported by the link cover 2220 and abuts on the motor cam 2219. A spring 2222 for biasing the link 2221 downward and a photosensor 2223 for detecting the rotational position of the link 2221 are provided. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 122, the motor cam 2219 includes a cylindrical shaft portion 2219 a connected to the rotation shaft of the motor 2217, and a turning portion 2219 b extending from the front end of the shaft portion 2219 a in a right angle direction. And has an L-shape. Further, the link 2221 is connected to a C-shaped connecting portion 2221a connected so as to sandwich the extended portion 2213a extending rearward from the rear surface of the pair of blades 2213, and is rotatably connected to the link cover 2220. A pair of shaft portions 2221b, a flat plate-shaped receiving portion 2221c pressed by the turning portion 2219b of the motor cam 2219, and a detection piece 2221d that protrudes upward from the upper surface of the receiving portion 2221c and is detected by the photosensor 2223. . Note that the extending portion 2213 a of the blade 2213 is provided in parallel to the shaft pin 2214 that is the rotation center of the blade 2213 and is eccentric from the shaft pin 2214. Further, the above-described spring 2222 biases the protruding portion 2221f (see FIG. 121) protruding forward from the tip of the receiving portion 2221c so as to press from above.

  By configuring in this way, in a state where the receiving portion 2221c of the link 2221 is not pressed by the turning portion 2219b of the motor cam 2219, the connecting portion 2221a becomes the lower limit position by the biasing force of the spring 2222, and the pair of blades 2213 are closed. Held in position. On the other hand, when the motor cam 2219 is rotated by the driving force of the motor 2217, the turning portion 2219b presses the receiving portion 2221c of the link 2221 against the urging force of the spring 2222. As a result, the connecting portion 2221a changes to the upper limit position. A pair of blades 2213 is expanded.

  As shown in FIGS. 117 and 120, when the pair of blades 2213 are closed, the base member 2210 is prevented from accepting the upper side of the pair of blades 2213 so that the game balls do not enter between them. A member 2227 is integrally formed. The acceptance blocking member 2227 is formed so as to protrude into the game area 1100, and a distribution portion 2228 for distributing game balls to the left and right is provided on the upper surface. In particular, the distribution unit 2228 has an inclined surface with a downward slope formed on the right side, so that the proportion of game balls distributed toward the center of the game area 1100 increases.

  The base member 2210 is integrally formed with a lid-like regulating member 2231 that covers the pair of blades 2213 and the reception blocking member 2227 from above and has a passage port 2230 through which a game ball can pass in the center in the left-right direction. In other words, the game ball passes through the passage opening 2230 of the lid-like regulating member 2231 so that the game ball reaches the area where the blade 2213 is disposed. On the other hand, if the game ball does not pass through the passage opening 2230, the blade 2213 The arranged area is not reached or is difficult to reach. For this reason, in order to enter a game ball into the first start port 2101, two conditions are required: passing through the pass port 2230 and being drawn in by the blades 2213, and enter the chance port 2211. The process up to is even more complicated.

  The passage opening 2230 is provided with passage detection means 2232 for detecting a passing game ball. When the passage detection means 2232 detects the passage of the game ball, it is notified by voice that “passed”. It is like that.

  The base member 2210 is integrally formed with a general winning opening 2202 that is disposed obliquely on the left of the lid-like regulating member 2231 and that can receive a game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100. Similar to the first start port 2101, the general winning port 2202 protrudes into the front game area 1100 and has a box shape with an open upper surface, and can always receive a game ball.

  Further, the first winning device unit 2200 is further provided with a light emitting means 2234 for irradiating the game area 1100 covered with the lid-like regulating member 2231 from the rear side. As shown in FIG. 120, the light emitting means 2234 includes a light transmissive lens 2235 fitted to the opening window 2210a of the base member 2210 from the rear side, and is disposed on the rear side of the lens 2235 to the player side through the lens 2235. A light emitting substrate 2236 for projecting light is included. By providing the light emitting means 2234 in this way, it is possible to make the game ball that has passed through the passage opening 2230 of the lid-like regulating member 2231 stand out and attract the attention of the player.

  By the way, in the conventional pachinko machine, generally, the first start opening is arranged below the frame-shaped center accessory, specifically below the stage provided inside the lower part of the center accessory, Since the ball passes through the stage, it is easy to flow down to the upper side of the first starting port. In particular, there is a chance entrance at the back of the stage so that it can receive a game ball that rolls on the stage and can guide the received game ball to just above the first starting port through the guide passage. It has become. However, with this type of pachinko machine, the game ball can only be entered at the chance entrance after rolling the game ball once on the stage, and there is always the possibility that the game ball will enter the chance entrance. Since it is constant, whether or not the game ball enters the chance entrance has been a coincidence that does not depend on the skill of the player. For this reason, the player's expectation could not be sharpened when entering the chance entrance, and the way of enjoying was monotonous. In other words, even if a chance entrance that is advantageous to the player is provided, it is difficult to be thrilled by that, and the interest is reduced.

  On the other hand, in this example, the chance port 2211 and the blade 2213 are disposed above the first start port 2101, and the pair of blades 2213 are operated by the driving unit 2215, thereby opening and closing positions. Reciprocate between the two. Then, as shown in FIG. 119, when the pair of blades 2213 are in the open position, the game balls in the game area 1100 can be drawn, and the drawn game balls are guided to the chance port 2211 and the first start port 2101 is drawn. The chance of winning a prize increases. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 118, when the pair of blades 2213 are in the closed position, it becomes impossible to draw the game ball in the game area 1100. In addition, the reciprocating motion between the open position and the closed position is continuously performed at regular intervals regardless of the gaming state. Therefore, whether or not to enter the chance opening 2211 is determined based on the timing at which the game ball reaches the area where the blade 2213 is disposed and the state (position) of the blade 2213 at that time. Therefore, the player can predict the game ball distribution result, that is, whether or not to be drawn by the blade 2213, while associating the timing at which the game ball arrives with the position of the blade 2213 at that time. As a result, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation with respect to entering the chance opening 2211 and further winning the first starting opening 2101.

  Further, the pair of blades 2213 reciprocate between the open position and the closed position at a constant timing. For this reason, the player can recognize the interval at which the game ball can be pulled in, and can drive the game ball at the timing of the open position. Accordingly, the willingness to enter the chance opening 2211 is increased, and the behavior of the game ball can be further noticed.

  In addition, by using the blades 2213, the opening / closing operation can be clearly recognized, and a great impact can be given to the player by a large movement. In particular, the configuration of the first prize-winning device unit 2200 using the blade 2213 is similar to the blade member 2256 (see FIG. 123) of the second start port 2102 (details will be described later) that open in a special gaming state. Therefore, when the blade 2213 is operated, an advantage as if the blade member 2256 of the second start port 2102 is opened can be aroused, and the player's expectation can be enhanced. In addition, the first winning device unit 2200 and the second start port 2102 are arranged on the left and right sides of the game area 1100 and at the same height. Thus, the player's interest in the operation of the blade 2213 can be further increased.

  Further, a gap 2225 is provided between the chance opening 2211 and the first start opening 2101, and even when the chance opening 2211 is passed, it collides with the obstacle nail G and is outside the first start opening 2101. It is possible to deviate, that is, the game area 1100 may flow down as it is without winning the first start port 2101. For this reason, even after the game ball is drawn in by the blade 2213, the behavior of the game ball can be watched until the first start port 2101 is won.

  Further, as described above, the reception blocking member 2227 is disposed above the pair of blades 2213, and when the pair of blades 2213 is in the closed position, the game ball is configured not to enter between the pair of blades 2213. Yes. Therefore, the advantage is greatly different between the case of the open position and the case of the closed position, and as a result, interest in changing to the open position can be increased. In addition, a sorting portion 2228 is formed on the upper surface of the acceptance blocking member 2227 so that game balls that have collided with the sorting portion 2228 are sorted to the left and right. For this reason, whether or not the game ball enters the chance opening 2211 is determined not only by the timing at which the game ball reaches the area where the blade 2213 is arranged and the position at which the blade 2213 is distributed, but also by the sorting unit 2228. And the direction of distribution is also a factor. Therefore, whether or not the game ball is drawn may have a different result from the prediction, and as a result, the behavior of the game ball can be paid more attention.

  By the way, when attention is paid to the blades 2213, the interest in other areas is weakened. There is a risk of overlooking. On the other hand, in this example, the acceptance blocking member 2227 is disposed above the blade 2213, and the distribution portion 2228 is formed with a slope formed in a downward slope toward the center of the game area 1100. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the game ball colliding with the distribution unit 2228 will be distributed toward the center of the game area 1100, and the player will follow the distribution direction of the game ball and the subsequent rolling direction. As a result, the line of sight is naturally moved toward the center of the game area 1100. Therefore, the entire game area 1100 can be viewed evenly.

  In addition, since the acceptance blocking member 2227 is disposed immediately below the passage port 2230 in the lid-like regulating member 2231, the game ball that has passed through the passage port 2230 of the lid-like regulating member 2231 is drawn before being drawn by the blade 2213. It collides with the receiving blocking member 2227 and the flow direction changes. For this reason, the sorting process by the lid-like regulating member 2231 and the sorting process by the blade 2213 can be recognized as separate sorting processes, and two kinds of sorting processes can be enjoyed in order.

  Also, a rolling region 2239 (see FIG. 118) is provided below the lid-like regulating member 2231, and reaches the game ball that has flowed down outside the lid-like regulating member 2231, that is, the lid-like regulating member 2231. It is possible to roll the game ball that has not entered the passage port 2230 toward the first start port 2101. For this reason, even when the ball does not enter the passage port 2230, that is, when it does not reach the vicinity of the blade 2213, it is possible to directly win the first start port 2101 and eventually enter the passage port 2230. It is possible to suppress the disappearance of expectation at the time when there is not, and it is possible to continue to pay attention to the behavior of the game ball.

  118 and 119, a plurality of obstacle nails G are implanted above the lid-like regulating member 2231, and whether or not the ball enters the passage opening 2230 of the lid-like regulating member 2231 is plural. The obstacle nail G is used for sorting. For this reason, the process up to winning the first start opening 2101 becomes more complicated, and it is possible to greatly enhance the fun of the game by changing the behavior of the game ball and changing the expectation.

[2-2. Second winning equipment unit]
The second winning device unit 2250 will be described with reference to FIGS. 116 and 123 to 126. FIG. 123 is a perspective view of the second winning device unit seen from an oblique front, and FIG. 124 is an exploded perspective view of the second winning device unit disassembled for each main member and seen from the oblique front. 125 is an exploded perspective view of the second winning device unit disassembled and viewed obliquely from the front, and FIG. 126 is an exploded perspective view of the lower drive portion of the drive mechanism and disassembled as viewed obliquely from the front. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 116, the second winning device unit 2250 is formed on the right side of the center of the game panel 1150 in the left-right direction and at substantially the same height as the opening 1150b into which the first winning device unit 2200 is inserted and fixed. After being inserted into the opening 1150c from the front side, it is fixed to the front surface of the game panel 1150. As shown in FIGS. 123 and 124, the second winning device unit 2250 has a plurality of receiving ports (winning devices) that can receive game balls that have been driven into the game area 1100. Specifically, a general winning opening 2251, a starting opening device 2252 having a second starting opening 2102 disposed below the general winning opening 2251, a general winning opening 2251 disposed below the second starting opening 2102, and the like. And an open / close winning device 2253 having a rectangular large winning port 2103 extending greatly in the left-right direction from the second starting port 2102.

  The general winning opening 2251 is disposed in the upper notch 2255a of the base plate 2255 and can always receive (enter) a game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100. On the other hand, the second start port 2102 arranged below the general winning port 2251 is formed by a pair of blade members 2256 that can be expanded with the general winning port 2251, and the pair of blade members 2256 are substantially the same. In the state where it rises vertically, the general winning opening 2251 and the pair of blade members 2256 make it impossible to receive a game ball, whereas the upper drive unit 2263 (see FIG. 125) causes the pair of blade members 2256 to move in the horizontal direction. The game ball is configured to be received in the expanded state. That is, the second start port 2102 is a variable winning port by the pair of blade members 2256. The pair of blade members 2256 are opened and closed based on detection of the passage of a game ball by a gate sensor 2104b of a gate unit 2104, which will be described later. The pair of blade members 2256 are arranged on the left and right sides of the opening 2257a formed on the upper side of the game ball receiving unit 2257, and the lower side is covered so that the game ball won in the second start port 2102 Is guided by the game ball receiving portion 2257 and sent to the upper entrance 2258 of the base plate portion 2255.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 125, the upper drive unit 2263 is assembled on a lower drive unit 2264, which will be described later, via a holder guiding member 2262, and a solenoid 2267 supported by a solenoid holder 2266, and a solenoid A link 2269 that is connected to the plunger 2268 of the 2267 and converts the movement of the plunger 2268 in the front-rear direction into the rotation (opening and closing) movement of the pair of blade members 2256 is provided.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 125 and 126, the open / close winning device 2253 includes an upper case 2273 and a lower case 2272 having a large winning opening 2103 on the front surface and a passage for a game ball formed therein. The winning opening 2103 is arranged so as to face a lower rectangular opening 2259 in a horizontally long rectangular shape formed in the lower part of the base plate portion 2255 (see FIG. 124). The special winning opening 2103 can be opened and closed by a horizontally-long rectangular opening / closing door 2260 (see FIG. 124) that can close the opening. The open / close door 2260 is pivotally supported by a door shaft 2271 so that the lower side is rotatable. In a substantially vertical state, the large winning opening 2103 is closed to make it impossible to receive a game ball, while the upper side is inclined forward. When it is rotated in this manner, the special winning opening 2103 is opened so that a game ball can be received. The open / close door 2260 is in a state in which the big prize opening 2103 is closed in a normal gaming state, and a lottery is received when a game ball is received (starts winning) into the first starting opening 2101 or the second starting opening 2102. According to the special lottery result (when the special lottery result is “big hit”), the solenoid 2278 is driven to open and close. The lower case 2272 is connected to a count sensor 2277 for counting the game balls won in the big winning opening 2103, a solenoid 2278, and a plunger 2279 of the solenoid 2278, and the linear movement of the plunger 2279 is rotated by the opening / closing door 2260. A link 2280 that converts to motion is provided. Further, the lower case 2272 is formed of a light-transmitting member, and a light emitting substrate 2282 is disposed on the outer bottom surface thereof, so that light can be projected toward the inside of the special winning opening 2103. Yes. Further, in the upper case 2273, a relay board 2283 that relays a drive signal to the solenoid 2267 and the like, and a second start port sensor 2276 that detects a game ball that has entered the second start port 2102 are provided. .

[2-3. Side prize opening unit]
The side winning opening unit will be described with reference to FIGS. 116, 127, and 128. FIG. FIG. 127 is a perspective view of the side winning opening unit viewed from an oblique front, and FIG. 128 is an exploded perspective view of the side winning opening unit disassembled and viewed from an oblique front.

I have.

  Next, the 7-segment display unit 2403 will be described. As shown in FIG. 134, the 7-segment display unit 2403 has three symbol display units 2430 arranged in the left-right direction at the top and capable of displaying a plurality of symbols (“GO” or “×”); It is provided with a number display unit 2431 that is arranged at the center in the left-right direction at the bottom and can display numbers from “0” to “9”. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 134 to 136. First, the 7-segment display unit 2403 includes a light-transmissive base member 2432. In the base member 2432, three symbol display cylinders 2432 a corresponding to the symbol display part 2430 are formed in the upper part, and a frame-like part 2432 b having an opening that allows the number display part 2431 to be visually recognized is provided below the base member 2432. Is formed. In addition, eight light guide portions 2432c protruding toward the player are arranged in the left-right direction at the upper end portion of the base member 2432 (upper side of the symbol display cylinder portion 2432a).

  Further, a front cover member 2433 and a pair of left and right flame lens members 2434 are attached to the front surface of the base member 2432. The front cover member 2433 has an outer cylinder part 2433a into which the symbol display cylinder part 2432a of the base member 2432 is inserted from the rear side, and a rectangular frame-like lower frame part 2433b into which the frame part 2432b is inserted from the rear side. And eight holes 2433c into which the front end portion of the light guiding portion 2432c is inserted from the rear side, and the front surface of the front cover member 2433 has a decorative shape having a light reflecting surface. Note that a decorative annular cover member 2435 is attached to the front surface of the outer cylindrical portion 2433a, and the decorativeness is further enhanced.

  The pair of flame-shaped lens members 2434 are formed of the same material and in the same pattern as the decorative portion 2415b of the lens base 2415 in the logo unit 2402 (see FIG. 133). A sense of unity with the logo unit 2402 is enhanced.

  The 7-segment display unit 2403 includes, as a symbol display unit 2430, three sheet members 2436 interposed between the front surface of the symbol display tube portion 2432a and the inner surface of the outer tube portion 2433a, and a sheet member 2436. And a reflector 2437 that efficiently guides the light projected from the light emitting substrate 2439 to the base member 2432 side. The light-emitting substrate 2439 irradiates the sheet member 2436 with light, and is a full-color light emission capable of projecting light of a plurality of types including at least one of the three primary colors and red, which is the other primary color. A diode is provided.

  The sheet member 2436 is made of a color filter and has first transmission means and second transmission means. The first transmission means displays the first symbol ("GO") by passing only the first color (specifically, blue) light projected from the light emitting substrate 2439, The second transmitting means displays a second symbol (“×”) different from the first symbol by allowing only the second color (specifically, red) light projected from the light emitting substrate 2439 to pass therethrough. To do. By providing such a sheet member 2436, it is possible to change the symbol visually recognized through the annular cover member 2435 as necessary, and to suppress the monotonousness of the effect. In particular, since the displayed symbol can be changed only by changing the color of the light projected from the light emitting substrate 2439, it can be configured extremely simply. Further, since the first transmissive means and the second transmissive means by the sheet member 2436 and the light emitting substrate 2439 are configured, the size is reduced as compared with the case where the display device is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display device. be able to.

  Further, on the front surface of the reflector 2437, there is disposed a decoration portion 2438 that is seen from the player side so that the outer cylinder portions 2433a and the lower frame portion 2433b of the front cover member 2433 are connected to each other. Yes. The decoration portion 2438 is similar to the shape of a lead wire, and is decorated with light emitted from light emitted from the light emitting substrate 2439, so that a symbol displayed on the symbol display portion 2430 and a number display portion 2431 are displayed. Numbers are related to each other (details will be described later).

  The number display unit 2431 of the seven-segment display unit 2403 includes a lens member 2442 and a seven-segment display 2441, and can display one-digit numbers corresponding to the big hit lottery result (details will be described later). .

  Further, on the lower left side of the frame-like portion 2432b in the base member 2432, a V-shaped scale 2444 that functions as a part of a state display unit 2404 (see FIG. 137) described later, and a V-shaped lens 2445 housed therein. The V-shaped scale 2444 is also decorated with light emitted from the light emitting substrate 2439. A reflector 2446 is provided on the rear side of the base member 2432 so as to face the V-shaped lens 2445 so that light projected from the light emitting substrate 2439 is guided to the V-shaped lens 2445. .

  Next, the status display unit 2404 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 129 and 130, the status display unit 2404 is arranged below the seven-segment display unit 2403, and indicates the progress of the game. As shown in FIG. 137 and FIG. 138, the state display unit 2404 includes a rotator 2450 that is rotatably supported around a rotation axis whose axial direction is the front-rear direction when viewed from the player side, and a rotator 2450. A rotary drive unit 2451 for applying a rotational force, an annular indicator member 2452 having a plurality of scale portions 2453 arranged around the rotary body 2450 and arranged around the outer periphery of the rotary body 2450, and the rotary body 2450 And a pointer 2454 capable of selectively pointing to the plurality of scale portions 2453. In addition, the pointer 2454 imitates a conducting wire extending from the bomb, and the tip shape thereof is a tapered shape that can clearly guide a pointed part such as a fingertip or an arrow.

  As shown in FIGS. 138 to 140, the rotating body 2450 includes a disc-shaped base member 2457 that is rotatably supported, a shaft pin 2460 and a bush on a support shaft portion 2457 a that protrudes forward from the center of the front surface of the base member 2457. A disc-shaped inner lens portion 2462 connected via the 2461, and a rotation base 2463 that accommodates the inner lens portion 2462 and is fixed to the inner lens portion 2462. The rotating base 2463 has a spherical shape on the front side, and simulates a round bomb. Further, a mirror surface portion 2455 is formed on the entire surface of the rotation base 2463, and a plurality of scale portions 2453 in the index member 2452 are reflected on the mirror surface portion 2455 when viewed from the player side. (See FIG. 137 (b)). The mirror surface portion 2455 is formed by plating the surface of a synthetic resin member as a base. In addition, an opening 2463a that occupies about half the size of the surface of the rotation base 2463 is formed at the center of the rotation base 2463, and a decorative portion 2464 having light transmission imitating a predetermined character pattern is formed. It is fitted from the rear side.

  The rotation drive unit 2451 includes a drive flange 2470 connected to the rear side of the base member 2457, a motor 2472 supported by the motor base 2471, and a link member 2473 that transmits the rotational motion of the motor 2472 to the drive flange 2470. Has been. That is, the rotating body 2450 including the base member 2457, the inner lens portion 2462, and the rotating base 2463 (including the decoration portion 2464) is configured to rotate integrally with the rotation of the motor 2472. Note that two photosensors 2474 are provided in the vicinity of the drive flange 2470 so that the rotational position (reference position) of the rotating body 2450 can be detected.

  On the other hand, the indicator member 2452 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape and includes an annular lens portion 2459 that accommodates the rotation base 2463 therein, a substantially annular outer frame portion 2465 that covers the front side of the annular lens portion 2459, and an outer frame portion 2465. It is comprised from the heaven type | mold scale 2467 arrange | positioned in the left front side. The annular lens portion 2459 has a tapered inner peripheral surface 2459b that is expanded toward the player side, and a plurality of scale portions 2453 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface 2459b. .

  The outer frame portion 2465 is a member that covers the front surface side of the annular lens portion 2459 and has a plurality of window portions 2465a opened to the respective scale portions 2453, and is a partition portion 2465b located at the boundary between the scale portions 2453. Are formed radially. That is, the inner peripheral surface 2459b of the annular lens portion 2459 that can be seen through the window portion 2465a of the outer frame portion 2465 is a scale portion 2453. The scale portion 2453 is arranged so as to be divided into ten equal parts from the 1 o'clock direction to the 8 o'clock direction of the clock face when viewed from the player side. In addition, a heaven scale 2467 is arranged at a position corresponding to the 9 o'clock direction of the timepiece, and a V-shaped scale 2444 of the seven-segment display unit 2403 described above is located at a position corresponding to the 10 o'clock direction (FIG. 137 (b)). Reference) is arranged. That is, the V-shaped scale 2444 and the heaven-shaped scale 2467 are indicated by the pointer 2454 and are reflected on the mirror surface portion 2455 of the rotating base 2463, similarly to the scale portion 2453. Further, a light reflecting surface having the same color as that of the mirror surface portion 2455 of the rotation base 2463 is formed on the surface of the outer frame portion 2465.

  The heavenly scale 2467 indicates a specific gaming state (details will be described later) advantageous to the player, and is mounted on the mounting portion 2465c on the front left side of the outer frame portion 2465. Further, the heavenly scale 2467 has a three-dimensional shape, and is disposed so as to protrude farther toward the player than the scale 2453 visible through the window 2465a of the outer frame 2465. The heavenly scale 2467 includes a three-dimensional lens portion 2468 having light transmittance and a light emitting substrate 2469 that projects light to the player side through the lens portion 2468, and can be decorated with light emission. It has become. A V-shaped scale 2444 arranged at a position in the 10 o'clock direction indicates that the game state is more advantageous than the specific game state in the heaven-shaped scale 2467 (details will be described later). Similar to the scale 2467, it has a three-dimensional shape and is arranged so as to protrude greatly toward the player side.

  In addition, a light emitting substrate 2466 is disposed on the rear side of the annular lens portion 2459. The light emitting substrate 2466 emits light to the decoration portion 2464 through the inner lens portion 2462, and projects light to the scale portion 2453 of the annular lens portion 2459. It is configured as follows. That is, the decoration portion 2464 and the scale portion 2453 can be decorated with light emission. In particular, the light emitting substrate 2466 is equipped with a plurality of light emitting diodes 2466a that can individually project light on each scale portion 2453, and only the scale portion 2453 indicated by the pointer 2454 from the plurality of scale portions 2453 is mounted. It is possible to emit light.

  By the way, in this kind of state display device provided in the conventional pachinko machine, the structure which extends the front-end | tip part of a needle | hook to a scale part is employ | adopted. That is, when viewed from the player side, the tip portion of the pointer and the indicated scale portion are configured to overlap each other. However, in the case where the tip portion of the pointer extends to the scale portion of the indicator member in this way, it is necessary to configure the pointer so that it does not contact the indicator member when the rotating body is rotated. In addition, since the front surface of the index member has a planar shape, for example, when the protrusion amount of the rotating body relative to the index member (protrusion amount to the player side) is set relatively large, a part of the scale portion rotates. There was a risk that it would be difficult to see because it was blocked by the body. On the other hand, when the setting is made so that the rotating body does not protrude, the rotating body cannot be displayed in three dimensions, and there is a possibility that the effect of production is reduced by half. In addition, if it is made for the front-end | tip part of a pointer not to protrude to the indicator member side, it will become possible to form an indicator member and a scale part in three dimensions, but according to this, the pointer has indicated which scale part. It was difficult to understand, and there was concern that the progress of the game could be mistaken.

  On the other hand, in this example, a mirror surface portion 2455 is provided on the surface of the rotation base 2463, and all the scale portions 2453, the heaven-shaped scale 2467, and the V-shaped scale 2444 (hereinafter referred to as these) on the indicator member 2452. (Collectively, “scale portion 2453 etc.”) is reflected in the mirror surface portion 2455. Therefore, even when the tip portion of the pointer 2454 is configured not to protrude to the indicator member 2452 side, as shown in FIG. 137 (b), the image Z of the scale portion 2453 and the like reflected on the mirror surface portion 2455 of the rotation base 2463. (Hereinafter referred to as “scale image Z”) and the tip end portion of the pointer 2454 can be seen superimposed from each other when viewed from the player side. According to this, the pointer 2454 indicates which scale portion 2453 or the like. Can be clearly recognized.

  Further, as viewed from the player side, the pointer 2454 has a tip portion located in front of the scale image Z, so that the indicated scale image Z is shielded by the pointer 2454. In other words, among the reflected scale images Z, only the indicated scale image Z becomes invisible (or becomes difficult to see), and can easily be distinguished from other scale images Z (visible scale images Z). Is possible. In addition, since the tip portion of the pointer 2454 does not protrude toward the indicator member 2452, the degree of freedom in design of the indicator member 2452, the scale portion 2453, and the like is increased. Further, the pointer 2454 can be formed integrally with the rotation base 2463, or the rotating body 2450 to which the pointer 2454 is attached can be assembled from the rear side of the index member 2452.

  In addition, since the front surface side of the rotation base 2463 is formed in a hemispherical shape, the surface of the rotation base 2463 functions like a convex mirror, and the scale portion 2453 and the like arranged around the rotation base 2463 are arranged around the rotation base 2463. It can be reflected on the surface part. In particular, the rotation base 2463 has a symmetrical shape in all directions with the rotation axis as the center, so that a plurality of scale images Z can be displayed at equidistant positions from the rotation axis, like a clock plate.

  Further, the annular lens portion 2459 of the index member 2452 has a tapered inner peripheral surface 2459b that is expanded toward the player side, has a trumpet shape, and the tapered inner peripheral surface 2459b. Since the scale portion 2453 is arranged on the screen, the scale portion 2453 can be reflected on the mirror surface portion 2455 of the rotating base 2463 even though the scale portion 2453 is configured in a plane. It is also possible to make it visible to the person directly. Therefore, the player can see both the scale portion 2453 and the scale image Z, and can more easily recognize the scale portion 2453 pointed to by the pointer 2454.

  Further, the annular lens portion 2459 is provided so as to surround the rotation base 2463, but the inner peripheral surface 2459b is tapered, so that the rotation base 2463 does not protrude larger than the annular lens portion 2459. It is possible to show the back side of the rotation base 2463. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a part of the scale portion 2453 from being obstructed by the rotation base 2463 and to make the rotation base 2463 three-dimensional and enhance the effect. Moreover, since it spreads toward the player side, the index member 2452 can be shown large, and a powerful effect can be performed.

  Further, the scale portion 2453 of the index member 2452 is formed of a light-transmitting member, and light is projected by the rear light emitting substrate 2466. Therefore, the scale portion 2453 reflected on the mirror surface portion 2455 of the rotating base 2463 is bright. A more vivid scale image Z can be displayed. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention and to recognize which scale portion 2453 the pointer 2454 points to very easily. In particular, since only the scale portion 2453 indicated by the pointer 2454 emits light among the plurality of scale portions 2453, in addition to the mechanical movement by the pointer 2454, it is possible to grasp the progress of the game by the light emission state of the scale portion 2453. It becomes possible, and the effect of the whole using the status display unit 2404 can be enhanced.

  In addition, the front side of the annular lens portion 2459 is covered with the outer frame portion 2465, and the scale portion 2453 is made visible through the window portion 2465a of the outer frame portion 2465, so that the decorativeness of the index member 2452 is enhanced. The scale portion 2453 can be made conspicuous. Therefore, the player's attention can be attracted not only to the scale image Z reflected on the mirror surface portion 2455 of the rotation base 2463 but also to the scale portion 2453 of the index member 2452. Further, since the outer frame portion 2465 is formed with radial partition portions 2465b so as to divide the respective scale portions 2453, the index member 2452 is further provided so that the index member 2452 extends radially. Can look big.

  Further, since the light reflecting surface is formed on the surface of the outer frame portion 2465, a sense of unity between the mirror surface portion 2455 on the surface of the rotation base 2463 and the outer frame portion 2465 covering the annular lens portion 2459 is enhanced, and the state display unit. It is possible to make the entire 2404 look larger. In particular, since the color of the outer frame portion 2465 is the same color (that is, silver) as the mirror surface portion 2455 of the rotation base 2463, even if the outer frame portion 2465 is reflected on the mirror surface portion 2455, It becomes difficult to distinguish the color from the color of the mirror surface portion 2455 itself. That is, the image of the outer frame portion 2465 is not conspicuous because it is a protective color with respect to the mirror surface portion 2455, and only the scale image Z can be conspicuous. Therefore, in spite of the rotation of the rotating body 2450, a novel decoration that has not been made so far, in which the scale portion 2453 (accurately, the scale image Z) displayed on the surface is stationary, is performed. Is possible. Such decoration can also be realized by adopting a configuration in which the rotating body is made of a transparent member and the scale portion is fixed inside the rotating body (so as not to rotate). According to this, other members such as the support member that supports the scale portion are also exposed through the rotating body, which is not preferable because the problem of impairing the design is generated.

  In addition, a three-dimensional heaven scale 2467 and a V-shaped scale 2444 that indicate a specific gaming state are provided on the front side of the outer frame portion 2465. Thus, by providing the indicator member 2452 so as to protrude from the front surface, the heaven-shaped scale 2467 and the V-shaped scale 2444, which are scale parts indicating a specific gaming state, and the other scale parts 2453 are visually differentiated. Therefore, it can be recognized from the shape of the heaven scale 2467 and the V scale 2444 that the specific game state is advantageous to the player, and the motivation for the game can be increased. By forming the heaven-shaped scale 2467 and the V-shaped scale 2444 in a three-dimensional manner, the front surfaces of these marks protrude toward the player side with respect to the pointer 2454, but the tip portion of the pointer 2454 faces the indicator member 2452 side. Since it does not protrude, contact between the pointer 2454 and the heaven scale 2467 or the V scale 2444 can be avoided.

  Incidentally, since the scale portion 2453 of the index member 2452 is provided in a fixed state, the scale image Z reflected on the mirror surface portion 2455 of the rotation base 2463 is naturally displayed at a fixed position. Thus, since the position of the scale image Z does not change even when the rotator 2450 is rotated as viewed from the player side, the rotator 2450 is stationary, that is, only the pointer 2454 is centered on the rotation axis. It looks like it is rotating, and according to this, there is a possibility that the impact of the production by the rotating body 2450 may be reduced. On the other hand, in this example, since the decorative portion 2464 having a predetermined pattern is provided at the center of the surface of the rotation base 2463, it is emphasized that not only the pointer 2454 but the entire rotating body 2450 is rotating, As a result, the effect of the rotating body 2450 can be effectively performed. In addition, since the decoration part 2464 is arrange | positioned in the surface center part of the rotary body 2450, it does not obstruct the reflection of the scale part 2453, or the scale image Z is shielded. In addition, since the decoration portion 2464 is decorated by emitting light from the light emitting substrate 2466, the presence of the decoration portion 2464 stands out and the impact of the effect of the rotating body 2450 can be further enhanced.

  Next, the movable accessory unit 2405 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 141 and 142, the movable accessory unit 2405 has a display area 2502 on the front surface of the housing 2500, and a symbol display device 2407 that displays symbols in the display area 2502 and a symbol display device 2407. A movable decoration unit 2480 that is arranged adjacently and is movably supported on the symbol display device 2407 side, and an accessory device 2406 having a drive mechanism 2481 that moves the movable decoration unit 2480 based on the gaming state. ing. Note that the movable accessory unit 2405 is attached to the game panel 1150 so as to be tilted in the left-right direction, and the movable decoration portion 2480 is moved obliquely. The moving direction of the portion 2480 is the up-down direction.

  First, the accessory device 2406 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 142 to 144, the drive mechanism 2481 of the accessory device 2406 includes a guide base 2482 that supports the movable decorative portion 2480 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and is attached to the front surface of the guide base 2482 and has light on the surface. The guide decoration 2483 having the irregular reflection surface, the motor base 2484 attached to the rear side of the guide base 2482, the motor 2485 attached to the motor base 2484, and the motor being accommodated between the guide base 2482 and the motor base 2484 and the motor. A link member 2486 that is connected to a rotation shaft 2485a of 2485 and converts the rotational motion of the motor 2485 into a linear motion of the movable decoration portion 2480, and the position (reference position) of the movable decoration portion 2480 by detecting the position of the link member 2486. And a photosensor 2487 for detecting. The link member 2486 has a fitting hole 2486a into which the rotation shaft 2485a of the motor 2485 is fitted on one end side, and a protruding portion 2497a protruding from the rear surface of a lever link 2497 (described later) of the movable decorative portion 2480. A long hole 2486b to be inserted is formed on the other end side. For this reason, when viewed from the player side, when the motor 2485 is rotated clockwise, the movable decorative portion 2480 is raised, and when the motor 2485 is rotated counterclockwise, the movable decorative portion 2480 is lowered. A cable pressing member 2488 that holds a cable for wiring (not shown) is provided on the rear side of the motor base 2484.

  Further, the guide base 2482, the guide decoration 2483, and the motor base 2484 are all provided with extending portions 2482b, 2483b, and 2484b extending downward, and the whole has a substantially T-shape. The guide base 2482 and the motor base 2484 are formed of a light-transmitting member, and a light emitting substrate 2489 is attached to the rear side of the motor base 2484. In other words, the guide base 2482 and the motor base 2484 can be decorated with light emitted from the light emitted from the light emitting substrate 2489, and can be viewed through the plurality of windows 2483a formed in the guide decoration 2483. Here, the guide decoration 2483 corresponds to the support wall portion of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 143 and 145, most of the movable decorative portion 2480 is arranged on the front side of the guide decoration 2483, but only the lever link 2497 and the bush 2496 are arranged inside the guide base 2482, and It slides up and down in an integrated state. More specifically, the movable decorative portion 2480 has a lever base 2490 that has a shape (substantially T-shaped) imitating the lever of the detonator and has a storage space inside, and a substantially T-shaped back that covers the rear side of the storage space. A lid 2491, a shaft ornament 2492 attached to the front center portion of the lever base 2490, a pair of left and right lever ornaments 2493 attached to the left and right ends of the lever base 2490, and an upper opening 2492 a of the shaft ornament 2492 An emblem 2494 that is inserted from the front side and imitates the character's face, a light emitting board 2495 that is disposed in the accommodation space of the lever base 2490 and projects light to the player side through the lever base 2490, and the rear side of the back cover 2491 (guide A lever link 2497 disposed inside the base 2482 and connected via a bushing 2496.The surface of the shaft ornament 2492 is plated so that the irradiated light can be reflected. In addition, three shafts 2491a projecting rearward are formed on the back surface of the back cover 2491, and are respectively inserted into three insertion holes 2497a formed in the lever link 2497 via bushes 2496. . The bush 2496 is inserted from the rear side into three guide holes 2482a formed in the guide base 2482, and is supported so as to slide in the vertical direction along the guide holes 2482a.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 142 and 146, the symbol display device 2407 has a frame-like casing 2500 that has a substantially home-base-shaped front shape that narrows toward the lower side and has a storage space inside. The frame lens 2503 attached from the front side of the housing 2500 so as to cover the upper surface and the right side surface of the housing 2500, and a portion other than the surrounding flange portion 2504a are made of a transparent member accommodated in the housing 2500. A substrate table 2504, a two-color sheet 2505 that is sandwiched between the front surface 2504b of the substrate table 2504 and the inner surface of the housing 2500 and displays a pattern by transmitting light of a specific color, and a two-color sheet 2505 accommodated in the substrate table 2504. And a light emitting substrate 2506 that projects light of a predetermined color toward the color sheet 2505.

  By the way, in the conventional pachinko machine, there is one that includes both the accessory device having the movable decoration part and the symbol display device that displays the symbol as a production device, like the movable accessory unit 2405, The space for arranging these effect devices is limited, and the accessory device must be arranged so that the movable decorative part can be moved. It was restricted. In particular, in the case where the movable decoration part is projected to the symbol display device side during the production operation, the accessory device and the symbol display device must be arranged apart from each other, and arranged in a limited space. Has become difficult.

  On the other hand, in the movable accessory unit 2405 of this example, a notch-shaped opening 2507 is provided on the upper surface of the casing 2500 (that is, the surface on the accessory device 2406 side) in the symbol display device 2407. A lower portion of the movable decorative portion 2480 that moves toward the display device 2407 is inserted into the housing 2500 through the opening 2507. In the symbol display device 2407, an opening 2507 is formed in the frame lens 2503 and the substrate base 2504 in a portion overlapping the upper surface of the housing 2500. For this reason, in the movable accessory unit 2405, the accessory device 2406 and the symbol display device 2407 can be arranged adjacent to each other. That is, since the space necessary for moving the movable decorative portion 2480 is secured in the symbol display device 2407, the symbol display device 2407 and the accessory device 2406 can be easily arranged in a limited space. Yes.

  In addition, the symbol display device 2407 is configured to display symbols by projecting light from the light emitting substrate 2506 disposed behind the two-color sheet 2505 disposed on the surface side of the housing 2500. By configuring the light projected from the light emitting substrate 2506 so that it is not blocked by the movable decorative portion 2480, the movable decorative portion 2480 can be accommodated behind the two-color sheet 2505. More specifically, the light emitting substrate 2506 is provided with a notch 2508 for securing the accommodation space S of the movable decorative portion 2480 (see FIG. 147 (a)). By providing the cutout portion 2508 in this way, the space between the two-color sheet 2505 and the light emitting substrate 2506 communicates with the space behind the light emitting substrate 2506, and the movable decorative portion 2480 is relatively large. In addition, the movable decorative portion 2480 can be accommodated. Further, since no light emitting diode is disposed after the movable decorative portion 2480, the movable decorative portion 2480 does not block light, and the amount of light toward the two-color sheet 2505 regardless of the movable position of the movable decorative portion 2480. Can be made constant, and the display state of the symbols can be stabilized.

  In particular, the two-color sheet 2505 of this example can project light of at least two kinds of colors, and only the first color (for example, red) light projected from the light emitting substrate 2506 is transmitted. The first transmission means for displaying the first design, and the second transmission means for displaying the second design by transmitting only the light of the second color (for example, blue) different from the first color. ing. That is, when red light is projected from the light emitting substrate 2506, the light is transmitted only through the first transmitting means, thereby displaying the first pattern in red, while blue light is emitted from the light emitting substrate 2506. When the light is projected, the light is transmitted only through the second transmitting means, thereby displaying a second design different from the first design in blue. In this manner, since the symbols can be switched simply by changing the color of the light projected from the light emitting substrate 2506, it is possible to configure the device very simply. For this reason, the space S in which the movable decorative portion 2480 is accommodated can be relatively easily secured in the housing 2500.

  In addition, the two-color sheet 2505 is arranged on the same surface, that is, on a single member, with two transmission means (first transmission means and second transmission means) arranged side by side (or partially overlapped). . Thereby, compared with the case where two members are overlapped, the thickness can be made thinner and more compact, and the arrangement space of the movable decorative portion 2480 can be increased. In addition, since two transmission means are formed on the same surface, a decrease in transmittance can be reduced, and a clear display can be performed even in a portion facing the notch 2508. Furthermore, since the overlapping part of the first transmission means and the second transmission means is configured so that red and blue light can be transmitted, the overlapping part does not lose its color, and various designs can be obtained with desired colors and colors. It is possible to display in a desired form, and as a result, two types of symbols can be easily distinguished. Here, the two-color sheet 2505 corresponds to the transmission means, the first transmission means, the second transmission means, and the optical display member of the present invention.

  The rear side of the housing 2500 and the substrate base 2504 is covered by the back surface of the center base plate 2401 (see FIG. 131), and this back surface, particularly behind the notch 2508 formed in the light emitting substrate 2506. A rear-side opening 2401g (see FIG. 131) that has substantially the same shape as the notch 2508 and communicates with the opening 2507 of the housing 2500 is formed in the portion. Therefore, when the accessory device 2406 is assembled, the movable decorative portion 2480 is inserted into the housing 2500 through the back side opening 2401g while the accessory device 2406 is assembled to the center base plate 2401 from behind. It becomes possible. Therefore, even when the movable decorative portion 2480 is configured to be always accommodated in the housing 2500, it can be easily assembled. In addition, since the rear of the notch 2508 is opened, it is possible to further increase the space for disposing the movable decorative portion 2480.

  Further, in the accessory device 2406, the lower end of the guide decoration 2483 serving as the background of the movable decorative portion 2480 is extended to the symbol display device 2407 side, and the back side opening 2401g is closed by the extended portion 2483b. . For this reason, the attachment position of the accessory device 2406 can be accurately adjusted with respect to the symbol display device 2407, and the movable decorative portion 2480 can be accommodated without being brought into contact with the light emitting substrate 2489 or the like in the housing 2500. In particular, since a light reflecting surface is formed on the front surface of the guide decoration 2483, the rear of the cutout portion 2508 of the light emitting substrate 2506 (that is, the portion where the light emitting diode is not disposed) can be illuminated, thereby forming the cutout portion 2508. This makes it possible to compensate for the decrease in the amount of light. Further, since the light reflecting surface is formed in an uneven shape, the light projected from the light emitting substrate 2506 can be irregularly reflected, and as a result, the entire reflecting surface can be uniformly illuminated.

  A relatively large gap of 15 mm or more is provided between the two-color sheet 2505 and the light emitting substrate 2506. For this reason, the light projected from the light emitting substrate 2506 is diffused in the housing 2500 before the two-color sheet 2505 is irradiated. In other words, a light emitting diode cannot be disposed in the notch portion 2508, but light emitted from a plurality of light emitting diodes can be diffused to irradiate the portion directly facing the notch portion 2508. It becomes possible. In addition, since the gap between the two-color sheet 2505 and the light emitting substrate 2506 is 20 mm or less, attenuation of light due to an increase in the gap can be suppressed as much as possible.

  In addition, the insertion portion of the movable decorative portion 2480 inserted into the housing 2500 has a substantially round bar shape, and the front half (the lower portion of the shaft decoration 2492) is in the gap between the two-color sheet 2505 and the light emitting substrate 2506. It is accommodated (see FIGS. 147 (a) and (b)). For this reason, it can suppress as much as possible that the light (especially diffused light) radiated | emitted from the light emission board | substrate 2506 is interrupted | blocked by the movable decoration part 2480. FIG. Therefore, even when the notch 2508 is relatively large, the diffused light can be sufficiently irradiated to the two-color sheet 2505 facing the notch 2508.

  Further, since the surface of the shaft decoration 2492, that is, the portion irradiated with the diffused light of the light emitting diode is a light reflecting surface, the surface of the movable decorative portion 2480 accommodated in the notch 2508 can be illuminated, It is possible to increase the amount of light irradiated to the two-color sheet 2505 facing the notch 2508.

  In the light emitting substrate 2506, the arrangement of the light emitting diodes is dense in the peripheral region of the notch 2508 and sparse in other regions. For this reason, it is possible to increase the amount of light with respect to the two-color sheet 2505 facing the notch 2508, and to illuminate the entire two-color sheet 2505 evenly.

  Further, in this example, the movable decorative portion 2480 is movable while the lower portion is accommodated in the housing 2500. That is, a part of the movable decorative portion 2480 is always housed in the housing 2500. For this reason, it is possible to make the player aware of the relationship between the movable decoration unit 2480 and the symbol display device 2407, and to pay more attention to the operation of the movable ornament unit 2480 and the display of symbols on the symbol display device 2407. In particular, since the front sides of the symbol display device 2407 and the accessory device 2406 are integrally surrounded by a decorative frame 2408 (see FIG. 131), the sense of unity between the symbol display device 2407 and the accessory device 2406 is further enhanced. Yes.

  Further, the housing 2500 of the symbol display device 2407 has a shape related to the movable decorative portion 2480 of the accessory device 2406. Specifically, the housing 2500 of the symbol display device 2407 has a shape simulating the main body of the detonator, and the movable decorative portion 2480 has a shape simulating the lever of the detonator. For this reason, the sense of unity between the symbol display device 2407 and the accessory device 2406 is enhanced from the stage before the symbol is displayed on the symbol display device 2407 or before the movable decorative portion 2480 is moved, and the combination of them is integrated. You can be interested in the production. In particular, the movable decorative portion 2480, which is a lever of the detonator, is moved with respect to the housing 2500 of the symbol display device 2407, which is the main body of the detonator, so that the bomb is exploded by pushing the lever. A powerful production is possible.

The lid member 3061, a pair of motors 3062 attached to the upper surface of the lid member 3061, and the upper rail member 3060 are accommodated in the upper rail member 3060 and connected to a rotating shaft (not shown) of the motor 3062 that passes through the lid member 3061. Further, the left side shielding member 3013 and the pair of pinions 3063 meshed with the rack 3053 of the right side shielding member 3014 and the upper rail member 3060 are housed in the upper rail member 3060, and the positions of the racks 3033 and 3053 are detected to thereby shield the left side. The member 3013 and the right shielding member 3014 are located at the open position. And a photo sensor 3064 for detecting that. Here, in the upper rail member 3060, four groove portions 3060a through which the connecting portions 3033b and 3053b of the left shielding member 3013 and the right shielding member 3014 are inserted are formed side by side along an arc, thereby the left shielding member 3013. The sliding direction of the right shielding member 3014 is restricted.

  As shown in FIG. 157, a cable presser 3065 for holding a wiring cable (not shown) is attached to the lower surface of the upper rail member 3060, and a motor 3062 is provided at the center in the left-right direction on the upper surface of the lid member 3061. A relay board 3066 for relaying a signal to etc. is attached.

  As shown in FIG. 153, the lower rail member 3016 is slidable on bushes 3034 and 3054 attached to the lower side of the left side shielding member 3013 and the right side shielding member 3014, specifically, the lower part of the base members 3020 and 3040. Two grooves 3016a to be supported are formed. In addition, this groove part 3016a is also formed in circular arc shape similarly to the groove part 3060a of the upper rail member 3060.

  By the way, the shutter body provided in the conventional pachinko machine is merely switching the visible state of the display screen, and its movement is flat and monotonous. For this reason, even if the display screen could suddenly disappear, the shutter body itself was not visually interesting, making it difficult to attract the player's attention. .

  On the other hand, according to the shutter accessory 3002 of this example, the open position is located obliquely behind the shielding position, and the shutter body 3010 (the left shielding member 3013 and the right shielding member 3014) is in the open position (FIG. 150). ) To move to the shielding position (state shown in FIG. 151), so that the shutter body 3010 moves toward the player side so that it moves obliquely forward from the outside of the movable decorative unit 3100 (see FIG. 149). It moves three-dimensionally so as to jump out. Therefore, the impact of the shutter body 3010 itself can be increased, and the visual fun can be increased. In particular, since the shutter body 3010 moves along a circular arc centered on a predetermined position on the rear side, the direction of the shutter body 3010 differs between the open position and the shield position. Specifically, at the shielding position, the front surface of the shutter body 3010 is arranged so as to face the player, but when it is in the open position, the front surface of the shutter body 3010 faces obliquely to the side, The length of the shutter body 3010 in the front-rear direction is long and the length in the left-right direction is short. Therefore, even when the size of the shutter body 3010 is relatively large, the shutter body 3010 can be accommodated in a limited space located behind the game panel 1150 in the open position. In other words, a relatively large shutter body 3010 can be provided, and the impact on the player can be further increased. In addition, when the shutter body 3010 moves from the open position to the shielding position, the size of the shutter body 3010 that can be seen from the player side (that is, the size of the component in the left-right direction) gradually increases. Can be performed.

  Further, when the shutter body 3010 includes a left shielding member 3013 and a right shielding member 3014 and shields the movable decorative unit 3100 (see FIG. 149) and the liquid crystal display device 1900 (see FIG. 149), the left shielding member 3013 is used. And the right-side shielding member 3014 is moved to the shielding position and abutted to form an integrated shutter body 3010. On the other hand, when the movable decoration unit 3100 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 are visually recognized, the left shielding member 3013 and the right shielding member 3014 are moved in the opposite directions and arranged obliquely behind the shielding position. Therefore, when the shutter body 3010 is visually recognized (that is, when the movable decoration unit 3100 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 are shielded), the shutter body 3010 is shown large and the shutter body 3010 is retracted (that is, the movable decoration unit 3100 and the liquid crystal display). When the device 1900 is visually recognized), the shutter body 3010 can be divided and accommodated small. Further, since the movable decorative unit 3100 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 are shielded by the cooperation of the left shielding member 3013 and the right shielding member 3014, it is possible to reliably shield even when these are relatively large. In addition, when the front surfaces of the movable decorative unit 3100 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 are opened, the left shielding member 3013 and the right shielding member 3014 move in the opposite directions, and thus one shutter formed in front of the movable decorative unit 3100. An image in which the body 3010 is dispersed backward can be aroused, and the stereoscopic effect of the shutter body 3010 can be further enhanced.

  Further, since the fitting portion 3032 is provided on the right end surface of the left shielding member 3013, the left shielding member 3013 and the right shielding member 3014 that have jumped out to the player side can be matched at the shielding position, and the shutter A sense of unity as the body 3010 can be enhanced.

  The size of the shutter body 3010 is set to a value larger than that of the opening window 2400a of the center accessory 2400 (see FIG. 152). For this reason, as shown in FIG. 152, the entire opening window 2400a can be closed from the inside. That is, when the shutter body 3010 moves to the shielding position, only the shutter body 3010 can be seen through the opening window 2400a, and the shutter body 3010 can be noticed. In particular, since the peripheral portion of the shutter body 3010 is shielded by the logo unit 2402, the shutter body 3010 can be made larger than it actually is.

  Further, when the shutter body 3010 is in the open position, all of the shutter body 3010 is located behind the game panel 1150 or the logo unit 2402 and cannot be visually recognized. Therefore, when the shutter position is changed from the open position to the shield position, the shutter body 3010, which is not normally viewed, suddenly jumps out to the player side and shields the movable decoration unit 3100 and the liquid crystal display device 1900. It becomes possible.

  In addition, when the shutter body 3010 is in the shielding position, it faces the player, so that the entire front surface of the shutter body 3010 can be clearly seen through the opening window 2400a of the center accessory 2400, and the production effect can be enhanced. Become.

  Further, since the movable decorative unit 3100 is disposed behind the shutter body 3010, a combination of the movable decorative unit 3100 having a three-dimensional structure and the shutter body 3010 that moves three-dimensionally allows a three-dimensional structure. It can be recognized as one production unit. In particular, since the shutter body 3010 moves three-dimensionally so as to surround the space where the movable decoration unit 3100 is arranged, an image as if the shutter body 3010 is a large container that houses the movable decoration unit 3100 is aroused. It is possible to entertain the performance while associating the movements of the shutter body 3010 and the movable decorative unit 3100 with each other.

  Further, a liquid crystal display device 1900 is also disposed behind the shutter body 3010, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the movable decorative unit 3100 disposed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 are shielded by the shutter body 3010. Yes. For this reason, when the shutter body 3010 moves to the open position, it is possible to entertain an effect that combines the movement of the movable decorative unit 3100 and the image displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. For example, the image displayed on the display screen is used as the background of the movable decoration unit 3100, and the effect of the movable decoration unit 3100 can be enhanced. Further, even when a plurality of effect devices are arranged in the front-rear direction in this way, it is possible to shield the entire effect device by covering the effect device by moving the shutter body 3010 so as to jump out to the player side. It becomes possible to make the body 3010 look larger.

  In particular, the movable decorative unit 3100 disposed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 can be moved between an effect position and a standby position (details will be described later). It is located outside 1900 and is not visible from the player side. That is, when the movable decorative unit 3100 is moved to the standby position with the shutter body 3010 opened, the entire display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 can be viewed. Therefore, it is possible to further diversify the effect pattern in which the liquid crystal display device 1900, the movable decoration unit 3100, and the shutter body 3010 are combined, and it is possible to enhance the interest in the effect.

  In addition, a decorative portion is provided on the front surface of the shutter body 3010, and the shape of the decorative portion is the same as or similar to at least a part of the movable decorative unit 3100. Therefore, the shutter body 3010 is shielded from the open position. When moving to, it is possible to arouse an image such that the movable decorative unit 3100 pops out to the player side, and it is possible to further enhance the fun of the production. In particular, the movable decoration unit 3100 has a shape simulating a character, whereas the decoration portion of the shutter body 3010 has a shape simulating the character's face, so that the shutter body 3010 is shielded from the open position. When moving to, it is possible to arouse an image that makes the character look huge and pops out to the player side, and it is possible to produce a dynamic and realistic presentation. In addition, since the decorative portion simulating the character's face is formed over the entire front surface of the shutter body 3010, the size of the character's face on the front surface of the shutter body 3010 can be further increased. Further increase is possible.

  Further, when the shutter body 3010 is in the shielding position, light is projected from the upper light emitting substrates 3030 and 3050 and the lower light emitting substrates 3031 and 3051 provided on the shutter body 3010 toward the player side. The decoration effect can be enhanced and the movement of the shutter body 3010 can be further noticed.

And a character RAM 4150e to which various stored data are transferred and copied.

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a includes a parallel I / O port, a serial I / O port, and the like, and controls the VDP 4150c based on control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 4140 to draw on the liquid crystal display device 1900. Control is in progress. If the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is operating normally, it outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control unit 4140. Further, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a receives an in-execution signal, which will be described later, from the VDP 4150c, and performs interrupt processing when the output of the in-execution signal is stopped every 16 ms.

  The liquid crystal control ROM 4150b, in addition to various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900, schedule data corresponding to control data (display command) from the peripheral control board 4010, its control data (display command), and A plurality of corresponding non-resident area transfer schedule data are stored. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data defining the screen configuration in time series, and the order of screens drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is defined. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is constituted by arranging non-resident area transfer data that defines the order when transferring various data stored in the character ROM 4150d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150e. In this non-resident area transfer data, the order of transferring various data from the character ROM 4150d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150e in advance is defined for the screen data drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 according to the progress of the schedule data.

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts the top screen data of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control board 4010 from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and outputs it to the VDP 4150c, and then the screen data following the top screen data.

This is the output method.

  The character ROM 4150d stores a very large amount of sprite data and has a large capacity. If the capacity of the character ROM 4150d increases, that is, if the number of sprites drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 increases, the access speed of the character ROM 4150d cannot be ignored, and the drawing speed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is affected. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sprite data stored in the character ROM 4150d is transferred and copied to the character RAM 4150e having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the character RAM 4150e. The sprite data is base data that is data before the sprite is expanded into a bitmap format, and is stored in the character ROM 4150d in a compressed state.

  Here, the “sprite” will be described. The “sprite” is an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 as a unit. For example, when displaying various persons on the liquid crystal display device 1900, data for drawing each person is referred to as “sprite”. Thus, when a plurality of persons are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to a person, a house, a mountain, a road, and the like constituting the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be a single sprite. These sprites are drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 with the position on the screen and the vertical relationship when the sprites overlap (hereinafter referred to as “sprite superposition order”) set.

  Note that the sprite is configured by bonding a plurality of rectangular regions of 64 pixels vertically and horizontally. Data for drawing this rectangular area is called a “character”. In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, it is expressed using a total of six characters arranged in 2 × 3 horizontal, for example. be able to. In the case of a larger sprite such as the background, it can be expressed using a larger number of characters. Thus, the number and arrangement of characters can be arbitrarily designated for each sprite.

  The liquid crystal display device 1900 repeats the main scanning in which the display state for each pixel is set in one direction along the pixel and the direction crossing the one direction sequentially from left to right as viewed from the front. It is driven by the sub-scan to be performed. When the drawing data for one line output from the liquid crystal control unit 4150 is input to the liquid crystal display device 1900, the main scanning is performed sequentially from left to right as viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Output to each pixel. When the output for one line is completed, the liquid crystal display device 1900 shifts to the line immediately below as sub-scanning. Similarly, when drawing data for the next line is input, based on the drawing data for the next line. As main scanning, the data are sequentially output to pixels for one line from left to right as viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900.

As a result, when the power from the + 5.2V generation circuit 851d is not supplied to the payout control board 4110, the charge charged in the capacitor BC1 is supplied to the payout control board 4110 as the payout VBB. Therefore, although the current is blocked by the diode PD0 and does not flow to the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU 4111a, the payout control MPU4111a does not operate.

That is, the power from the + 5.2V generation circuit 851d flows toward the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 4100a, and the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM 4100e that is forward by the diode MD0, the + terminal of the capacitor BC0, An electric current flows toward. As described above, the capacitor BC0 is electrically connected to the power supply board 851 from the supply control board 4110 and the supply control board 4110 again from + 5.2V created by the + 5.2V creation circuit 851d. Depending on the connection method, + 5.2V is applied and charging is possible. As a result, when the power from the + 5.2V generation circuit 851d is no longer supplied to the main control board 4100, the charge charged in the capacitor BC0 is supplied to the main control board 4100 as the main VBB.

It has become. Detailed description thereof will be described later.

[3-6. Driving solenoid drive method]
Next, a method for driving the firing solenoid 654 will be described. First, the drive system of the firing solenoid 654 will be described, and then the input / output current, output voltage, signal logic and waveform, etc. at predetermined points of the drive circuit will be described. FIG. 171 is a block diagram showing a driving circuit for a firing solenoid, FIG. 172 is a circuit diagram showing a shunt regulator circuit, an amplifier circuit, and an operational amplifier circuit group, and FIG. 173 is a diagram showing characteristics of the DC / DC converter. FIG. 174 is a timing chart of predetermined points in the drive circuit for the firing solenoid of FIG.

[3-6A. Launch solenoid drive system]
As shown in FIG. 171, the drive system of the firing solenoid 654 is mainly composed of a firing control input circuit 4120a, an oscillation circuit 4120b, a firing timing circuit 4120c, a firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d, and a ball in the dispensing control board 4110. The feed solenoid drive circuit 4120e, the DC / DC converter 831a of the firing power supply board 831, the electrolytic capacitor SC0, the power factor improvement circuit 851b of the power supply board 851, and the smoothing circuit 851c are configured.

  When the CR unit 6 is electrically connected to the payout control board 4110 via the CR unit connection terminal plate 874, the launch control input circuit 4120a receives power (AC24V) from the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the CR unit 6 is electrically connected to the payout control board 4110. Is output to the firing timing circuit 4120c as a CR connection signal, and a detection signal from the touch sensor 516 that detects whether a palm or a finger is touching the front 506 of the rotating handle is input. When the detection signal from the firing stop switch 518, which is output as a touch detection signal to the firing timing circuit 4120c and detects whether or not the game ball is forcibly stopped according to the player's will, is input. The stop detection signal is output to the launch timing circuit 4120c.

  The launch timing circuit 4120c permits or prohibits the launch of the game ball by the launch solenoid 654 based on the CR connection signal, the touch detection signal, and the launch stop detection signal from the launch control input circuit 4120a. Specifically, the firing timing circuit 4120c has a first state that the CR connection signal is not input because the CR unit 6 is not electrically connected to the payout control board 4110 via the CR unit connection terminal plate 874. Case, touch detection signal is the second case that the palm or finger is not touching the front 506 of the rotating handle body, the firing stop detection signal tells that the launch of the game ball is forcibly stopped Among the third cases, when one of the cases is applicable, the launching of the game ball by the launch solenoid 654 is prohibited, while when not all of the cases, the launch of the game ball by the launch solenoid 654 is permitted.

  The firing timing circuit 4120c is input with the clock signal from the oscillation circuit 4120b. When the launching solenoid 654 is permitted to launch a game ball, 100 game balls per minute are played based on this clock signal. A firing reference pulse is generated so as to be launched toward 1100 and output to the firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d, and a ball feed reference pulse is generated by multiplying the firing reference pulse by a predetermined number of times (5 times in this embodiment). It outputs to the feed solenoid drive circuit 4120e. The firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d drives the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650 with a combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current generated by the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0. On the other hand, the ball feeding solenoid drive circuit 4120e drives the ball feeding solenoid 585 by + 24V from the power supply board 851.

  The firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d mainly includes a shunt regulator circuit 4121a, an amplifier circuit 4121b, a voltage comparison circuit 4121c, and a switching circuit 4121d. The shunt regulator circuit 4121a is supplied with + 5.2V generated by the + 5.2V generation circuit 851d of the power supply board 851. The direct current + 2.5V stabilized from this + 5.2V (DC + 2.5V, hereinafter “ + 2.5V ”) and is supplied to the amplifier circuit 4121b.

  As shown in FIG. 172 (a), the shunt regulator circuit 4121a mainly includes a shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0. The shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0 has a reduced temperature drift due to the ambient temperature, and can create and supply a stabilized power supply that is held at a constant voltage with respect to the load. The REF terminal that is the reference voltage input terminal and the K terminal that is the cathode terminal of the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0 are electrically connected to + 5.2V via the resistor PR2, and the resistor PR2 connects to the REF terminal. The input current is limited. The K terminal outputs +2.5 V to the amplifier circuit 4121b. This +2.5 V is smoothed by removing ripples (AC component convoluted with voltage) by the capacitor PC0 connected to the ground (the capacitor PC0 also serves as a low-pass filter). The A terminal, which is the anode terminal of the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0, is grounded to the ground (GND).

  Returning to FIG. 171, the amplifier circuit 4121 b amplifies +2.5 from the shunt regulator circuit 4121 a by a factor of 2 to create DC +5.0 V (DC +5.0 V, hereinafter referred to as “+5.0 V”). Then, it is supplied to the rotational position detection sensor 512 in the handle device 500 via the main-side relay terminal plate 880 and the handle device relay board 192.

  As shown in FIG. 172 (a), the amplifier circuit 4121b mainly includes an operational amplifier PIC1. The operational amplifier PIC1 is configured as a non-inverting amplifier circuit, and + 2.5V from the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0 of the shunt regulator circuit 4121a is applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC1, and the operational amplifier PIC1. One end of the inverting input terminal (− terminal) is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR3 whose ground is grounded, and the other end of the resistor PR4 whose one end is electrically connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier PIC1. And are electrically connected. The resistance values of the resistors PR3 and PR4 are set so that the amplification factor (flat loop gain) of the operational amplifier PIC1 is doubled. The output terminal of the operational amplifier PIC1 is, as described above, + 5.0V obtained by amplifying + 2.5V applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC1, the main relay terminal plate 880, and the handle. The rotation position detection sensor 512 in the handle device 500 is supplied via the device relay board 192. This +5.0 V is smoothed by removing ripples (AC component convoluted with voltage) by the capacitor PC2 connected to the ground (the capacitor PC2 also serves as a low-pass filter). Note that + 24V input to the power supply terminal of the operational amplifier PIC1 is smoothed by removing ripples by the capacitor PC1 grounded to the ground.

  Returning to FIG. 171, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is a three-terminal variable resistor, and one fixed terminal at both ends is supplied with +5.0 V from the above-described amplifier circuit 4121b, and the other fixed terminal at both ends is the handle. It is electrically connected to the resistor PR0 of the firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d in the payout control board 4110 via the device relay board 192 and the main relay terminal board 880. The other end of the resistor PR0 is grounded. From the variable terminal which is a terminal different from the fixed terminals at both ends of the rotational position detection sensor 512, it is possible to take out the divided voltage of the voltage applied to both ends according to the variable resistance value. The voltage taken out from the variable terminal of the rotational position detection sensor 512 is connected to resistances PR5 and PR6 (described later) in the firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d of the payout control board 4110 via the handle device relay board 192 and the main side relay terminal board 880. 172 (b)), and the divided voltage of the resistor PR6 is applied to the voltage comparison circuit 4121c as the firing intensity target voltage.

  As shown in FIG. 172 (b), the voltage taken out from the variable terminal of the rotational position detection sensor 512 of the handle device 500 is passed through the handle device relay board 192 and the main relay terminal plate 880 as described above. The ripple (the AC component convolved with the voltage) is removed and smoothed by the grounded and grounded capacitor PC3 (the capacitor PC3 also serves as a low-pass filter), and the firing solenoid of the dispensing control board 4110 The voltage is applied to an operational amplifier circuit group configured as a voltage follower of the drive circuit 4120d. As shown in FIG. 172 (b), this operational amplifier circuit group mainly includes an operational amplifier PIC2 at the first stage and an operational amplifier PIC3 at the subsequent stage. The voltage from the handle device 500 is a voltage on the order of volts, and is applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the first-stage operational amplifier PIC2. The inverting input terminal (− terminal) of the first stage operational amplifier PIC2 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the first stage operational amplifier PIC2. The output terminal of the operational amplifier PIC2 in the first stage outputs the voltage applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC2 by a factor of 1, that is, as it is as a voltage on the order of volts. The first-stage operational amplifier PIC2 simply outputs the input voltage, which is a voltage in the order of volts, but outputs the voltage to the first-stage input-side circuit for applying the voltage from the handle device 500 and the subsequent-stage operational amplifier PIC3. Therefore, circuit separation from the first stage output side circuit is realized. Thereby, the voltage can be transmitted as a signal from the first stage input side circuit to the first stage output side circuit, and the influence of the first stage output side circuit can be prevented from being given to the first stage input side circuit. The + 24V input to the power supply terminal of the operational amplifier PIC2 is smoothed by removing ripples by the capacitor PC4 grounded to the ground.

  The output terminal of the first operational amplifier PIC2 is electrically connected to one end of a resistor PR5 in addition to its own inverting input terminal (− terminal), and the other end of the resistor PR5 is a non-inverting input terminal ( + Terminal). The non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC3 in the subsequent stage is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR6 whose one end is grounded, in addition to the other end of the resistor PR5. As a result, the voltage from the output terminal of the operational amplifier PIC2 in the first stage is a voltage in the order of volts because it simply outputs the input voltage, which is a voltage in the order of volts as described above, and is divided by the resistors PR5 and PR6. The voltage of the divided resistor PR6 is applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC3 at the subsequent stage as a voltage on the order of millivolts. The inverting input terminal (− terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC3 at the subsequent stage is electrically connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier PIC3 at the subsequent stage. The output terminal of the operational amplifier PIC3 at the subsequent stage doubles the voltage applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC2, that is, the voltage in the millivolt order is output to the voltage comparison circuit 4121c as the firing intensity target voltage. To do. The operational amplifier PIC3 at the subsequent stage simply outputs the input voltage, which is the voltage that the resistor PR6 in the millivolt order divided by the resistors PR5 and PR6, directly outputs, but the resistance in the millivolt order divided by the resistors PR5 and PR6. Circuit separation is realized between a rear-stage input side circuit for applying a voltage that the PR6 takes on and a rear-stage output side circuit for outputting the voltage to the voltage comparison circuit 4121c. Thereby, the voltage can be transmitted as a signal from the rear stage input side circuit to the rear stage output side circuit, and the influence of the rear stage output side circuit can be prevented from being given to the rear stage input side circuit. The + 24V input to the power supply terminal of the operational amplifier PIC3 is smoothed by removing ripples by the capacitor PC5 grounded to the ground.

  Returning to FIG. 171, the current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650 flows through the resistor PR1 whose one end is grounded, so that the voltage in the millivolt order that the resistor PR1 takes is used as a firing control voltage. 4121c. The voltage comparison circuit 4121c is also applied with the firing intensity target voltage, which is the voltage in the millivolt order described above. As described above, the firing control voltage and the firing strength target voltage to be compared by the voltage comparison circuit 4121c are, as described above, the resistance from the voltage on the order of volts to the voltage on the order of millivolts on the payout control board 4110 (launch solenoid drive circuit 4120d). The voltage is stepped down by the voltages that PR1 and PR6 handle. That is, since it is applied through a wiring pattern formed on the payout control board 4110, this wiring pattern is not easily affected by noise, and the voltage comparison circuit 4121c has a firing control voltage and a firing strength target voltage at a voltage on the order of millivolts. Can be compared with each other, between the board device of the payout control board 4110 and the hitting ball launching device 650 and between the board devices of the payout control board 4110 and the handle device 500 via the wiring. Since the wiring is easily affected by noise, the influence of noise between the substrate devices is suppressed by setting the voltage in the order of volts.

  The voltage comparison circuit 4121c is an inverting circuit that compares the firing control voltage with the firing strength target voltage, and outputs the comparison result to the switching circuit 4121d. The comparison result by the voltage comparison circuit 4121c is a logical output of HI or LOW, and when the launch control voltage is greater than the launch intensity target voltage, it becomes LOW (hereinafter referred to as “L”), while the launch control voltage. Is smaller than the firing intensity target voltage, it becomes HI (hereinafter referred to as “H”). Thus, since the output logic is H or L depending on the comparison result by the voltage comparison circuit 4121c, the output signal is input to the switching circuit 4121d as an ON / OFF signal.

  The switching circuit 4121d receives the current from the DC / DC converter 831a included in the firing power supply board 831 according to the ON / OFF signal from the voltage comparison circuit 4121c each time the firing reference pulse from the firing timing circuit 4120c is input. A combined current obtained by combining the current generated by the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC <b> 0 is supplied to the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650. Specifically, when the ON signal from the voltage comparison circuit 4121c is input, the switching circuit 4121d generates a combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0. On the other hand, when the OFF signal from the voltage comparison circuit 4121c is input while flowing to the firing solenoid 654, the current flowing to the firing solenoid 654 is cut off. In other words, the switching circuit 4121d receives the ON signal from the voltage comparison circuit 4121c, and supplies the combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the firing solenoid 654. If the voltage divided by the resistor PR1 becomes larger than the firing intensity target voltage as the firing control voltage, the output logic of the voltage comparison circuit 4121c becomes L and OFF A signal is output to the switching circuit 4121d, and the switching circuit 4121d cuts off the constant current flowing through the firing solenoid 654. By this interruption, the current does not flow to the firing solenoid 654, so that the firing control voltage becomes smaller than the firing strength target voltage, the output logic of the voltage comparison circuit 4121c becomes H again, the ON signal is output to the switching circuit 4121d, and the switching circuit As described above, 4121d supplies the firing solenoid 654 with a combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current generated by the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0. As described above, in accordance with the ON / OFF signal from the voltage comparison circuit 4121c, the switching circuit 4121d generates a combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current generated by the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 with the firing solenoid 654. Therefore, the switching circuit 4121d performs control to cause the ON / OFF signal from the voltage comparison circuit 4121c to self-oscillate and flow the current to the firing solenoid. That is, the switching circuit 4121d functions as a “self-oscillation constant current circuit”, and brings the firing control voltage close to the firing intensity target voltage. Thereby, the front of the rotary handle main body 506 is rotated, and the launch solenoid 654 can be driven with a launch intensity corresponding to the rotational position of the front of the rotary handle main body 506 to launch a game ball toward the game area 1100.

  When the player touches the front of the rotary handle main body 506 and is at the original rotational position where the front of the rotary handle main body 506 is not rotated, the voltage taken out from the variable terminal of the rotational position detection sensor 512 is applied to the resistor PR0. The applied voltage is applied to the operational amplifier circuit group configured as the voltage follower described above, and is applied to the voltage comparison circuit 4121c as the firing intensity target voltage. In this case, when the ON signal from the voltage comparison circuit 4121c is output to the switching circuit 4121d, the switching circuit 4121d combines the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0. The merged current is passed through the firing solenoid 654. The current output from the DC / DC converter 831a is the minimum output current. At this time, the firing intensity of the firing solenoid 654 is at least over the firing rail 660. That is, when the voltage applied to the resistor PR0 is the firing intensity target voltage, the current commensurate with the voltage (the minimum output current output from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 are combined). When the merged current) flows to the firing solenoid 654, the game ball launched by the firing solenoid 654 reaches the game area 1100 along the outer rail 1111 of the game board 4 even if the game ball can jump over the firing rail 660. Therefore, the foul balls are collected by the foul cover unit 540. In other words, when the voltage applied to the resistor PR0 is applied to the operational amplifier circuit group configured as a voltage follower and applied to the voltage comparison circuit 4121c as the firing intensity target voltage, the current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 is the minimum current. However, even if this minimum current flows to the firing solenoid 654, all the game balls that have been launched are collected as foul balls. Thereby, since it can prevent overlapping with the game ball sent to the firing rail 660 by the ball feeding solenoid 585, the firing solenoid 654 is prevented from launching the overlapping game ball toward the game area 1100. In addition, it is possible to prevent the firing solenoid 654 from being overloaded and to prevent failure.

  In this embodiment, by adopting the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0 for the shunt regulator circuit 4121a, the firing intensity target voltage applied to the voltage comparison circuit 4121c is a constant voltage from the shunt regulator circuit 4121a + 2.5V. Is amplified by the amplifier circuit 4121b and is divided by the rotational position detection sensor 512 of the handle device 500, so that the rotational position of the front part 506 of the rotary handle body is the same as that of the divided voltage. When held at the position, no fluctuation occurs and the voltage is held constant. As a result, the switching circuit 4121d causes the firing control voltage to be close to the launch intensity target voltage by causing the combined current to flow to the launch solenoid 654 of the ball hitting device 650, so that the launch control voltage becomes the same as the launch intensity target voltage. When the rotational position of the front handle body 506 is held at the same rotational position, the combined current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 does not change, and a constant current flows. Therefore, the firing solenoid 654 causes the game ball to play the game area 1100. The firing strength launched towards the same is the same. Therefore, it is possible to prevent “flying unevenness” of the game ball due to the drive firing of the firing solenoid 654.

  In addition, the island facility where the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed has a game ball circulation system in which game balls discharged from a plurality of pachinko gaming machines are ground and supplied to the pachinko gaming machine again. For this reason, the temperature in the island facility is extremely high due to heat generated by polishing of the game balls, heat generated by collision and friction between the game balls, and heat generated by the power supply board of the pachinko gaming machine and various electric decorations. In this embodiment, as described above, by adopting the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0 for the shunt regulator circuit 4121a, + 2.5V can be stabilized even in an environment where heat is trapped in the pachinko facility. It can be output. As a result, since the fluctuation of +2.5 V due to temperature is suppressed, the voltage taken out from the variable terminal of the rotational position detection sensor 512, that is, the “fluctuation” of the firing intensity target voltage can be suppressed. The voltage comparison circuit 4121c can output a control signal to the switching circuit 4121d without including the minute voltage. In other words, when the rotational position of the front 506 of the rotary handle is the same rotational position, “unevenness” can be suppressed in the firing strength at which the game ball is launched toward the game area 1100, so that “unevenness” of the game ball is suppressed. be able to.

[3-6B. Input / output current and output voltage of DC / DC converter]
Next, the input / output current and output voltage of the DC / DC converter 831a will be described with reference to FIG. 173 with respect to the input current at the point TA and the output current and output voltage at the point TB shown in FIG. The TA point is a point for referring to the input current Iin of the DC / DC converter 831a, and the TB point is a point for referring to the output current Iout and the output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a. The output voltage Vout is a potential difference from the ground.

  First, the relationship between the output voltage Vout at the point TB and the output current Iout is such that the output current Iout increases as the output voltage Vout decreases from + 35V, as shown in FIG. 173 (a). Specifically, in the section A where the output voltage Vout is from + 35V to + 30V, the output current Iout is constant at about 360 mA, and in the section B where the output voltage Vout is from + 30V to + 20V, the output voltage Vout decreases as the output voltage Vout decreases. In section C where the current Iout increases from 360 mA to 400 mA and the output voltage Vout increases from +20 V to +10 V, the output current Iout increases from 400 mA to 660 mA by approximately 260 mA and the output voltage Vout increases by +10 V as the output voltage Vout decreases. In the section D from 1 to +5 V, the output current Iout increases from 660 mA to 1010 mA by about 350 mA as the output voltage Vout decreases. Note that, in the vicinity of +5 V to zero V, the output current Iout is approximately 1010 mA.

  As shown in FIG. 173 (b), the relationship between the input current Iin at the TA point and the output current Iout at the TB point is that the input current Iin decreases and the output current Iout increases as the output voltage Vout decreases from + 35V. It has become a relationship. Specifically, in the section A where the output voltage Vout is from + 35V to + 30V, the output current Iout is constant at about 360 mA, whereas the input current Iin is reduced by about 80 mA from 400 mA to 320 mA. In this section A, when a current corresponding to the rotational position of the front 506 of the rotary handle flows through the firing solenoid 654 and the input current Iin is larger than the output current Iout, the game ball launched toward the game area 1100 is still a game. While the firing intensity is difficult to reach the region 1100, when the current corresponding to the rotational position of the front 506 of the rotary handle body flows through the firing solenoid 654 and the input current Iin begins to become smaller than the output current Iout, The game ball launched toward the area 1100 has a launch intensity that reaches the game area 1100. In section B where the output voltage Vout is from + 30V to + 20V, the output current Iout increases from 360 mA to 400 mA by about 40 mA, while the input current Iin decreases from 320 mA to 260 mA by about 60 mA, compared with the output current Iout. Thus, the input current Iin is completely reduced. In the section C where the output voltage Vout is from + 20V to + 10V, the output current Iout is increased by approximately 260 mA from 400 mA to 660 mA, whereas the input current Iin is decreased by approximately 50 mA from 260 mA to 210 mA. The input current Iin is completely smaller than the output current Iout. In section D where the output voltage Vout is from +10 V to +5 V, the output current Iout is increased by about 350 mA from 660 mA to 1010 mA, while the input current Iin is decreased by about 35 mA from 210 mA to 175 mA. Similar to C, the input current Iin is completely smaller than the output current Iout.

  When the value of the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a is 360 mA, the combined current obtained by combining 360 mA and the current due to the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is the minimum current, that is, the player is in front of the rotary handle body. The current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 when the rotating handle main body front 506 is not rotated is touched 506, whereas the value of the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a is 1010 mA. In some cases, the combined current of 1010 mA and the current due to the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is the maximum current, that is, the player touches the front of the rotary handle body 506 and rotates the front of the rotary handle body 506 clockwise. Thus, the current flows through the firing solenoid 654 when it is at the limit rotational position. Thus, the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a has a minimum output current value of 360 mA and a maximum output current value of 1010 mA. When the value of the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a exceeds 1000 mA, the firing intensity of the firing solenoid 654 is that the game ball that has already jumped to the game area 1100 along the outer rail 1111 collides with the stop 1114. Then, it rolls downstream along the inner peripheral rail 1113 and is strong enough to be collected at the out port 1151 without entering the various winning ports. For this reason, the range of the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a that can be taken when the player turns the front of the rotary handle body 506 clockwise to play a game is larger than 360 mA and smaller than 1000 mA. (360 mA <value of output current Iout <1000 mA), which is a milliampere order current.

[3-6C. Relationship between input / output current and output voltage of DC / DC converter and firing reference pulse from firing timing circuit]
Next, at a fixed rotational position in front of the rotary handle body 506, the output current Iout and output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a at the point TB shown in FIG. 171 and the firing reference pulse T0 from the firing timing circuit 4120c, Will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the TB point is a point for referring to the output current Iout and the output voltage Vout (potential difference from the ground) of the DC / DC converter 831a, and the TC point is a firing reference pulse from the firing timing circuit 4120c. This is a point for referring to T0.

  As described above, when the firing reference pulse T0 from the firing timing circuit 4120c allows the launching of the game ball by the launch solenoid 654, 100 game balls per minute, that is, 60000 ms, are directed toward the game area 1100. Since it is set so as to be ejected, as shown in FIG. 174 (a), its pulse width is 30 ms and its period T is 600 ms.

  Here, when the player touches the rotary handle body front 506 and rotates the rotary handle body front 506 to reach the limit rotational position, the DC / DC in the original rotational position not rotated. A waveform of the output voltage Vout of the converter 831a will be described.

  174 (b) and (c) when the firing reference pulse T0 from the firing timing circuit 4120c is input to the switching circuit 4121d of the firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d when the front of the rotary handle 506 is in the limit rotational position. As described above, the combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge of the electric charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor SC0 becomes the above-described maximum current and starts to flow to the firing solenoid 654 (timing t0). ). When this maximum current is flowing to firing solenoid 654, the voltage of DC / DC converter 831a (the voltage of electrolytic capacitor SC0) drops to +5 V in accordance with the characteristics of DC / DC converter 831a shown in FIG. The value of the output current Iout of 831a is 1010 mA which is the maximum output current described above. Then, when the input is stopped after 30 ms has elapsed after the input of the firing reference pulse T0, the discharge proceeds until the output voltage of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 reaches near zero V (timing t1). When the maximum current to the firing solenoid 654 is cut off, the output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a gradually recovers to + 35V. Accordingly, charging of electrolytic capacitor SC0 is started according to the characteristics of DC / DC converter 831a. Specifically, the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a has a characteristic that the output current Iout increases as the output voltage Vout decreases as shown in FIG. Immediately after the maximum current is cut off, the output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a, that is, the output voltage of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is close to zero V, and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is equal to the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a. When charging starts with a certain current of 1010 mA and the output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a recovers to near +35 V, charging is continued with a current of 360 mA, and then the charging is completed. This charging is already completed before the next firing reference pulse T0 is input (timing t2). That is, charging is completed within a period of 570 ms from the time when the current firing reference pulse T0 is input and 30 ms elapses until the next firing reference pulse T0 is input.

  On the other hand, when the firing handle front pulse 506 from the firing timing circuit 4120c is input to the switching circuit 4121d of the firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d when the front of the rotary handle body 506 is in the original rotational position, FIG. As shown in (d), the combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge of the electric charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor SC0 becomes the above-described minimum current, and is supplied to the firing solenoid 654. The flow starts (timing t0). When this minimum current is flowing to firing solenoid 654, the voltage of DC / DC converter 831a (voltage of electrolytic capacitor SC0) slightly decreases according to the characteristics of DC / DC converter 831a shown in FIG. The value of the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a is 360 mA, which is the minimum output current described above. Then, after the input of the firing reference pulse T0, when 30 ms elapses and the input is stopped, the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is slightly advanced (timing t1). When the minimum current to the firing solenoid 654 is cut off, the output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a gradually recovers to + 35V. Accordingly, charging of electrolytic capacitor SC0 is started according to the characteristics of DC / DC converter 831a. Specifically, the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a has a characteristic that the output current Iout increases as the output voltage Vout decreases as described above. Immediately after the minimum current is cut off, the output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a, that is, the output voltage of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 slightly falls, but belongs to the section A, and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is output from the DC / DC converter 831a. Charging is started by a current of 360 mA that is the current Iout, and then the charging is completed. This charging is already completed before the next firing reference pulse T0 is input (timing t2). That is, charging is completed within a period of 570 ms from the time when the current firing reference pulse T0 is input and 30 ms elapses until the next firing reference pulse T0 is input.

  As described above, even when the maximum current and the minimum current flow through the firing solenoid 654, due to the characteristics of the DC / DC converter 831a, the charge discharged from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 within the discharge time of 30 ms when the current firing reference pulse T0 is input. Can be completed within the remaining 570 ms charging time until the next firing reference pulse T0 is input.

  Here, consider a case where the DC / DC converter 831a adopts a control method in which a current flows through the firing solenoid 654 alone in a state where the electrolytic capacitor SC0 does not exist within a period of 30 ms after the firing reference pulse T0 is input. In this control method, since the current that the DC / DC converter 831a independently flows to the firing solenoid 654 is about 2 A to 3.5 A, this current is supplied from the power supply board 851. When the firing solenoid 654 is driven, a large current larger than 2 A to 3.5 A flows instantaneously. Then, every time the firing reference pulse T0 of 30 ms is generated with a period T of 600 ms, the load on the power supply board also increases with this period T. In other words, the power supply board supplies a predetermined current to electronic components, decorations used for decoration, etc. in addition to the instantaneous large current that flows when the firing solenoid 654 is driven. If the power supply upper limit is exceeded, the power supply is cut off for safety.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when the DC / DC converter 831a independently drives the firing solenoid 654 without the electrolytic capacitor SC0 in the period of 30 ms which is the pulse width after the firing reference pulse T0 is input. The amperage-order current supplied to the DC / DC converter 831a from the DC power supply of +37 V on the power supply board 851 is extended to a period of 600 ms from when the firing reference pulse T0 is inputted until the next firing reference pulse T0 is inputted. When the firing solenoid 654 is driven by the combined current of the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0, the “first current” in the order of milliamperes supplied to the DC / DC converter 831a from the DC power supply of + 37V of the power supply board 851. And electrolytic When the power supply SC0 is charged with the power from the DC / DC converter 831a, it is distributed to the “second current” in the milliampere order supplied to the DC / DC converter 831a from the + 37V DC power supply of the power supply board 851. it can. As a result, the amperage order of the amperage order supplied to the DC / DC converter 831a from the + 37V DC power supply of the power supply board 851 in the period of 30 ms which is the pulse width after the firing reference pulse T0 is input in the absence of the electrolytic capacitor SC0. The current is supplied from the DC power source of + 37V of the power supply board 851 to the DC / DC converter 831a during a period of 600 ms from when the firing reference pulse T0 is input in the presence of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 until the next firing reference pulse T0 is input. It can be averaged by the “first current” and “second current” in the order of milliamperes supplied. Therefore, a load for supplying an instantaneous large current by driving the firing solenoid 654 can be eliminated from the power supply board 851. Further, it is possible to eliminate the time spent on designing the operating conditions of the safety device when the power supply board 851 is overloaded.

[3-6D. Relationship between firing reference pulse from launch timing circuit and ball feed reference pulse]
Next, the firing reference pulse T0 and the ball feeding reference pulse T1 from the firing timing circuit 4120c will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the TC point is a point for referring to the firing reference pulse T0 from the firing timing circuit 4120c, and the TD point shown in FIG. 171 refers to the ball feeding reference pulse T1 from the firing timing circuit 4120c. It is a point to do.

  The ball feed reference pulse T1 is set to 150 ms (= T0 (30 ms) × 5) which is five times 30 ms which is the firing reference pulse T0. When the firing reference pulse T0 is input to the switching circuit 4121d of the firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d, as shown in FIGS. Input to the circuit 4120e (when timing t0, 150 ms elapses, the input is stopped (timing t3). Thereby, the ball feeding solenoid 585 is driven to perform ball feeding control by the ball feeding solenoid 585. Thus, the next set of game balls to be launched can be completed before the next firing reference pulse T0 is input. Each time the firing reference pulse T0 is input, the game ball is moved to the game area 1100. It can be launched continuously toward.

  As described above, in this example, after the game ball is driven by the firing solenoid 654, the driving power is supplied from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the firing solenoid 654, and the electrolytic power supply board 831 is provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0. Therefore, the current (maximum current) supplied to the firing solenoid 654 can be changed by exchanging the firing power supply substrate 831 having the electrolytic capacitors SC0 having different capacities, and the driving characteristics of the hit ball launching device 650 can be changed. The characteristics can be changed to match the board 4.

  In addition, since power is supplied from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the firing solenoid 654, the power from the power supply board 851 is stored in the electrolytic capacitor SC0 and fired between the time the game ball is launched and the next time it is launched. By supplying the power to the solenoid 654, it is possible to avoid instantaneously consuming a large current directly from the power supply board 851, and light emission and movement of the LED of the light emitting decoration board, the motor for driving the effect, the solenoid, etc. It is possible to prevent instability and occurrence of unevenness of the game ball.

  Further, the power supply board 851 creates and supplies DC power (+ 5.2V, + 5.25V, + 12V, + 24V, and + 37V) from the AC power (AC24V) of the island facility, and the hitting ball launcher 650 has a handle. The front of the rotary handle main body 506 of the device 500 is rotated, and the shooting solenoid 654 can be driven with a shooting intensity corresponding to the rotational position of the front of the rotary handle main body 506 to launch a game ball toward the game area 1100.

  The firing intensity target voltage applied to the voltage comparison circuit 4121c is + 2.5V, which is a constant voltage from the shunt regulator circuit 4121a, is amplified by the amplification circuit 4121b, and + 5.0V is the rotational position detection sensor 512 of the handle device 500. Therefore, when the rotational position of the rotary handle body front 506 is held at the same rotational position, the divided voltage is maintained at a constant voltage without fluctuation. Become. As a result, the switching circuit 4121d causes the firing control voltage to be close to the launch intensity target voltage by causing the combined current to flow to the launch solenoid 654 of the ball hitting device 650, so that the launch control voltage becomes the same as the launch intensity target voltage. When the rotational position of the front handle body 506 is held at the same rotational position, the combined current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 does not change, and a constant current flows. Therefore, the firing solenoid 654 causes the game ball to play the game area 1100. The firing strength launched towards the same is the same. Therefore, it is possible to prevent “flying unevenness” of the game ball due to the drive firing of the firing solenoid 654.

[3-7. Control processing on main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 4100 (particularly the main control MPU 4100a) will be described with reference to FIGS. 175 to 187. FIG. 175 is a flowchart illustrating an example of main processing in the main control board. FIG. 176 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing upon occurrence of power interruption. FIG. 177 is a flowchart illustrating an example of timer interrupt processing. FIG. 178 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the special control process. FIG. 179 is a flowchart showing the start opening winning process. FIG. 180 is a flowchart showing the variation start process. FIG. 181 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the variation pattern setting process. FIG. 182 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the changing process.

  FIG. 183 is a flowchart showing an example of the big hit game start process. FIG. 184 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the small hit game start process. FIG. 185 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the big hit game process. FIG. 186 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the small hit game process. The timer interrupt process is executed at a predetermined timing (every 4 ms in this embodiment) by the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100. FIG. 187 is an explanatory diagram showing a table configuration in the special symbol random number storage means.

  As shown in FIG. 175, in the main process, when the supply of electric power to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the main control MPU 4100a executes a power-on process (step S1). In this power-on process, it is determined whether or not the backup data stored in the RAM 4100e is normal (is a set value when a power failure occurs). If normal, the backup data stored in the RAM 4100e is used. Executes processing to return to the power outage (power recovery processing), and if the backup data is abnormal, clears RAM 4100e and performs CPU peripheral device settings (normal initial settings, interrupt timing settings, etc.) Do.

  When power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped during the game, the current game state is stored as backup data in the RAM 4100e. If the RAM clear switch 4100c that instructs to clear the backup data stored in the RAM 4100e during the power-on process is on, the RAM 4100e is cleared and normal initialization is performed. In addition, when the backup data is not stored in the RAM 4100e of the main control board 4100 during the power-on process, the RAM 4100e is cleared and normal initialization is performed.

  In the power-on process, a process of setting a power-on command indicating that the main control board 4100 has been activated to the peripheral control unit 4140 when normal initialization is executed is also executed. The power-on command notifies the peripheral control unit 4140 that the main control board 4100 has been activated. Note that backup data is also stored in the RAM 4100e even when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped (when the power is turned off) when the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed is closed, and the power to the pachinko machine 1 is again stored. When the supply is started, a power-on process is executed.

  When this power-on process is completed, the main control MPU 4100a starts a loop process in which each game process is repeatedly executed. At the start of this loop processing, the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether or not a power failure notice signal has been detected (step S2). In this embodiment, the power supply voltage used in the pachinko machine 1 is generated by the power supply board 851. That is, since a plurality of types of devices mounted on the pachinko machine 1 operate with different power supply voltages, the power supply voltage supplied to the pachinko machine 1 from an external power supply is converted into a predetermined power supply voltage by the power supply board 851, Supply to each device. Accordingly, when a power failure occurs and the power supply voltage supplied from the external power supply to the power supply board 851 is equal to or lower than the predetermined power supply voltage, the power failure notice indicating that the supply of the power supply voltage from the power supply board 851 to the main control board 4100 is stopped. A signal is transmitted. Then, when a power failure notice signal is detected by the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100 in step S2, a process at the time of occurrence of power interruption is executed (step S4).

  The process at the time of the occurrence of power interruption is performed when the power supply voltage (24V in this embodiment) supplied to the power supply board 851 after the power failure is restored (hereinafter referred to as power recovery). In order to start from the state, the state when the power failure occurs is stored as backup data in the RAM 4100e. Although the processing content will be described later, in the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the power failure occurrence processing is not interrupt processing, but as branch processing that is executed immediately after the start of the loop depending on whether or not a power failure warning signal is detected. It is incorporated in the main process (main control process).

  By the way, when the power failure warning signal is not detected in step S2, that is, when the power from the external power supply is normally supplied, the random number update process 2 for updating various random numbers used in the game is performed (step S2). S3). The random number updated in the random number update process 2 will be described later.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 176, the process at the time of power-off occurrence is a process executed when a power failure warning signal is detected in the main process. First, the main control MPU 4100a performs an interrupt prohibition setting so that the interrupt process is not executed (step S4a). Then, the checksum of the RAM 4100e is calculated and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 4100e (step S4b). This checksum is used to check whether or not the content of the RAM 4100e before the power failure is retained at the time of power recovery.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 4100a sets a specified value indicating that the process at the time of power-off occurrence has been performed in a backup flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 4100e (step S4c). When the above processing is completed, the main control MPU 4100a prohibits access to the RAM 4100e (step S4d) and enters an infinite loop to prepare for the stop of power supply. In this process, if the power supply voltage becomes unstable due to a very short power failure, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “instantaneous power interruption”), the process at the time of the occurrence of a power interruption has started. Since the power supply voltage is not stopped, there is a possibility that it is impossible to return from the infinite loop in the above processing. In order to avoid such adverse effects, the main control MPU 4100a of this embodiment is provided with a watchdog timer, and is configured to be reset if the watchdog timer is not updated for a predetermined time. The watchdog timer is periodically updated while the process is normally performed. However, the watchdog timer enters the process when the power is cut off and is not updated. As a result, even when a power interruption occurs due to a momentary power failure and an infinite loop is entered, a reset is applied after a predetermined period has elapsed, and the main control MPU 4100a is activated in the same process as when the power is turned on.

  Next, in the timer interrupt process, the timer interrupt process is executed every 4 ms by the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100 during the execution of the main process. As shown in FIG. The control MPU 4100a executes the processing from step S11 to step S18 after executing the register saving process (step S10). In the switch input process of step S11, a process of monitoring the detection signal of the above-described switches (gate switch, start port sensor, count sensor, general winning switch, etc.) is executed. In the random number update process 1 in step S12, a process of updating various random numbers used in the game is executed. In this embodiment, the random number updated in the random number update process 1 is different from the random number updated in the random number update process 2 described above. Although the random number will be described later, the random number updated in the random number update process 2 may be updated in the random number update process 1 as well. In the payout operation process in step S13, a payout command for instructing payout of the game ball is set on the payout control board 4110 based on the signal detected in the switch input process (step S11).

  Further, in the normal control process of step S14, the normal symbol is changed based on the progress state of the game, and the normal electric accessory (that is, the blade member 2256 that opens and closes the second start port 2102 by the solenoid 2267) is controlled. A process of changing the open / close state of the second start port 2102 is executed. In the special control process of step S15, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are variably displayed on the special symbol indicators 1185 and 1186 based on the progress state of the game, or the special winning combination (that is, the solenoid 2278 is used for the big prize opening). The opening / closing door 2260) for opening and closing 2103 is controlled, and processing for changing the open / closed state of the special winning opening 2103 is executed.

  In the subsequent output data setting process in step S16, a process for outputting a state signal indicating a gaming state to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 (for example, a management computer), and a drive signal is output to a special figure start memory display (not shown). The process to perform is performed. In the command transmission process of step S17, a process of transmitting the effect command to the peripheral control unit 4140 is executed. In the command transmission process, a process of transmitting the power-on command set in the power-on process (step S1) to the peripheral control unit 4140 when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started is also performed. When the process from step S11 to step S17 is executed, a register restoration process (step S18) is executed, and the process ends.

  Here, various random numbers that are updated by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 in the random number update process 1 (step S12) and the random number update process 2 (step S3) described above will be described. In this embodiment, as the various random numbers used in the game, the big hit determination random number used for determining whether or not to generate a big hit gaming state (including “small hit” described later) (big hit determination), the big hit determination A random number for the big hit symbol used to determine whether or not to make a promiscuous big hit when it is determined that a big hit gaming state will be generated (probability change determination), a special symbol of A jackpot symbol random number used to determine the stop symbol, a reach determination used to determine whether or not to lose with a reach mode when it is determined that a big hit gaming state does not occur in the jackpot determination (reach determination) Random number, used to determine the variation display pattern (variation time) of the special symbol displayed on the special symbol indicators 1185 and 1186 Fluctuation display pattern random numbers (variation time random numbers), normal hit determination random numbers used to determine whether or not the blade member 2256 that opens and closes the second start port 2102 is controlled to be open (normal lottery determination), and the like is there.

  In this example, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to generate a small hit gaming state using a big hit determination random number. It is also determined whether or not to make a probability variation jackpot (the probability that a specific profit is given is set higher than normal) using a jackpot symbol random number. Note that the variable display pattern of the special symbol may be determined using the reach determination random number, and the variable display pattern of the decorative symbol controlled by the liquid crystal display device 1900 may be determined.

  Among these random numbers, in the random number update process 1, a big hit determination random number related to occurrence of the big hit gaming state, a big hit symbol random number, and a normal symbol per random number related to whether or not the blade member 2256 is controlled to be opened. Update. That is, the random number used for the determination relating to the occurrence of the big hit gaming state and whether or not to control the blade member 2256 to the open state is updated every 4 ms as a predetermined timing. By doing in this way, the probability (probability to determine that the big hit gaming state is generated, probability to determine that the blade member 2256 is controlled to be opened) in a predetermined period with each random number can be made constant, and the game It is possible to prevent the person from becoming disadvantaged. On the other hand, in the random number update process 2, the generation of the big hit gaming state and the reach determination random number not related to the normal lottery and the variable display pattern random number are updated.

  Next, in the special control process, the main control MPU 4100a executes the processes from step S20 to step S90 as shown in FIG. In the start opening winning process of step S20, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won the first start opening 2101 and the second start opening 2102, and a process of updating the lottery hold state is executed when winning. In the variation start process of step S30, the number of stored (holding number) in each big hit lottery is confirmed. Set up. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a big hit gaming state (profit granting state) is to be generated (winning determination means), and if a big hit gaming state is to be generated, whether or not to be a promising big hit is determined. . In the variation pattern setting process in step S40, settings related to variation display of each special symbol and each decorative symbol are performed. Specifically, the variation display pattern of each special symbol is determined, and the variation time set corresponding to the variation display pattern (after the variation display of the special symbol is started by the special symbol display devices 1185 and 1186) Set the timer to the time until stop.

  In the changing process of step S50, the timer set with the changing time is monitored in the changing display pattern setting process (step S40), and the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display is displayed based on the time-out of the timer. The special symbol display on the display 1186 (corresponding to the special symbol display 1185, 1186) is stopped. At this time, if it is determined in any one of the big win lotteries in the variation start process (step S30), the processing selection flag is updated to “3”, and the small win game state is set in the same lottery. If the determination is made, the process selection flag is updated to “4”, and if it is not determined to be the big hit or small hit gaming state, the process selection flag is updated to “0”.

  In the big hit game start process (profit granting state control means) in step S60, settings for starting the big hit game state are performed. Although specifically described later, the number of times of opening / closing the opening / closing door 2260 and the opening time are set according to the type of jackpot. In addition, in the small hit game start process in step S70, setting for starting the small hit game state is performed. The number of times the door 2260 is opened and the opening time are set. In the big hit game process of step S80, the winning prize opening 2103 is opened, and when the predetermined number of game balls have won the winning prize opening 2103 or when the predetermined period has elapsed, the opening / closing door 2260 is closed. Process. Further, if the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state has not reached the predetermined number, the process for opening the opening / closing door 2260 is performed again, and when the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state reaches the predetermined number, Is updated to “5”. In addition, after the number of rounds reaches a predetermined number, processing for generating a probability variation state and a short-time gaming state is executed (special gaming state control means).

  In the small hit game process of step S90, the opening and closing door 2260 is opened to allow the reception of a game ball, and when a predetermined number of game balls have won the big winning opening 2103 or when a predetermined period has elapsed, the opening / closing is performed. A process for closing the door 2260 and making the game ball unacceptable is performed. Although details will be described later, the opening of the opening / closing door 2260 in the small hit game processing is set so that the profit to the player is extremely low compared to the big hit game processing (step S80). Next, specific processing in steps S20 to S90 will be described.

  Next, in the start port winning process, as shown in FIG. 179, first, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is output from the second start port sensor 2276, and the detection signal is output from the second start port sensor 2276. In this case, it is determined that the game ball has won the second start port 2102 (YES in step S201), and if the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2276 is not output, the game ball is input to the second start port 2102. Is determined not to win (NO in step S201). When it is determined in step S201 that the game ball has won at the second starting port 2102, various random numbers for the second big hit lottery (random numbers for big hit determination, random numbers for big hit symbols, etc.) are acquired and provided in the RAM 4100e. It is determined whether or not the value of the second pending number counter is less than 4 which is the upper limit value (step S202). If the second hold number counter is less than 4 in step S202, the second start hold storage process (step S203) and the hold history update process (step S204) are executed. These processes will be described later. If the value of the second hold number counter is 4 in step S202, the second start hold storage process and the hold history update process are not executed.

  On the other hand, when the detection signal is not output from the second start port sensor 2276 at step S201 (NO at step S201), or when the value of the second reserved number counter is 4 (NO at step S202). Determines whether or not a game ball has won the first start port 2101 (step S205). Specifically, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is output from first start port sensor 3524. When it is determined in step S205 that the game ball has won the first start port 2101 (YES), various random numbers for the first big hit lottery are acquired, and the value of the first holding number counter provided in the RAM 4100e is the upper limit. It is determined whether or not the value is less than 4 (step S206). If the first hold number counter is less than 4 in step S206, the first start hold storage process (step S207) and the hold history update process (step S208) are executed. If the value of the first hold number counter is 4 in step S206, the first start hold storage process and the hold history update process are not executed.

  Subsequently, in the variation start process, as shown in FIG. 180, first, it is determined whether or not the process flag is “0”. If it is “0” (YES in step S301), the process after step S302 is performed. If the process is executed and is not “0” (NO in step S301), the change start process is terminated. In step S302, it is determined whether or not the values of the two reserved number counters (the first start memory number and the second start memory number) corresponding to the special symbol indicators 2390a and 2390b are “0”. Since the sum of the values in the two pending number counters indicates the number of random number values stored in the start memory storage area (special symbol random number storage means 4515, 2940 (see FIG. 187)), in step S302 If the value of any of the holding number counters is both “0” (YES), it is determined that the start condition regarding the first big hit lottery and the second big hit lottery is not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S317.

  On the other hand, if the value of any of the number-of-holds counters is not “0” in step S302 (NO), the start memory transfer process is executed (steps S303 to S311). As shown in FIG. 187 (a), the first special symbol random number storage means 4515 is provided with four storage areas (storage area [1] 4515a to storage area [4] 4515d). Each is associated with the value of the stored number (“1” to “4”). As shown in FIG. 187 (b), the second special symbol random number storage means 4532 is also provided with four storage areas (storage area [1] 4532a to storage area [4] 4532d). The two start memory numbers (“1” to “4”) are associated with each value. Each of the storage areas 4515a to 4515d and 4532a to 4532d includes a big hit determination random number storage area 4580 in which a big hit determination random number is stored, and a big hit symbol random number storage area 4581 in which a big hit symbol random number is stored. .

  In the start memory transfer process, first, whether or not the value of the hold number counter (second start memory number) corresponding to the second special symbol display 1186 is “0”, that is, the second special symbol random number memory. It is determined whether or not random numbers are stored in the storage area [1] 4532a of the means 4532 (step S303). If random numbers are stored (NO), each of the nth storage areas (n is a natural number of 2 or more) Processing for shifting various random numbers stored in (storage area [2] 4532b to storage area [4] 4532d) to the (n-1) th storage area (storage area [1] 4532a to storage area [3] 4532c), respectively. (Step S304) and processing for obtaining a random number related to the second special symbol stored in the storage area [1] 4532a (Step S305) are executed. In addition, “1” is set to the special symbol variation flag (step S306), and a process of subtracting “1” from the holding number counter corresponding to the second special symbol is executed (step S307).

  On the other hand, when the random number is not stored in the storage area [1] 4532a of the second special symbol random number storage means 4532, that is, when the value of the hold number counter corresponding to the second special symbol display 1186 is “0”. (YES in step S303), stored in each of the nth storage areas (storage area [2] 4515b to storage area [4] 4515d) of the first special symbol random number storage means 4515 (n is a natural number of 2 or more). Stored in the storage area [1] 4515a and the process of shifting the various random numbers to the (n-1) th storage area (storage area [1] 4515a to storage area [3] 4515c), respectively. A process of acquiring a random number related to the first special symbol (step S309) is executed. Further, a process of subtracting “1” from the number-of-holds counter corresponding to the first special symbol (step S311) is executed.

  That is, regarding the first special symbol, when holding, as in the case of the second special symbol, the value of the holding number counter (first start memory number) is increased by “1”, and the extracted random number is It is stored in the storage area corresponding to the value of the first start memory number, but when the first special symbol starts to change, only when the second start memory number is “0”, that is, the first special symbol Each random number is read from the first storage area “1” 4515a of the first special symbol random number storage means 4515 only when one process is waiting and the second processing by the second special symbol is not waiting. ing. This control enables the second process to be performed with priority over the first process.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the probability variation function is in operation, that is, whether or not the probability variation state has a high probability (step S312). If not the probability variation state (NO in step S312), the probability variation is not activated. Jackpot determination table, that is, a table set with a low probability of being a jackpot, on the other hand, in the case of a probability variation state (YES in step S312), the table at the time of probability variation operation, that is, the probability of being a jackpot Select a highly set table. In this example, the probability of winning a big hit is set to 6/499 when the probability variation is not activated (ie, normal), and the probability of being a big hit is 60 when the probability variation is activated (ie, when the probability is high). / 499.

  After any table is selected in step S313 or step S314, based on that table, the random number related to any special symbol acquired in step S305 or step S309 is a random number corresponding to the big hit (big hit value) ) Is determined (step S315). If it is a big hit value (YES in step S315), the big hit flag is set to "ON" (step S316), and the process proceeds to step S317. On the other hand, if the acquired random number is not a big hit value (NO in step S315), it is determined whether or not the random number is a random number corresponding to a small hit (small hit value) (step S318). If it is a small hit value (YES in step S318), the small hit flag is set to “ON” (step S319), and the process proceeds to step S317. If it is not the small hit value (NO in step S318), the process proceeds to step S317 without going through step S319. In step S317, the process flag is updated to “1”, and the variation start process is terminated. Note that the ON / OFF states (set state and reset state) of the big hit flag and the small hit flag are stored in the RAM 4100e. The OFF state (reset state) of the big hit flag and the small hit flag means that a value of “0” is set, and the ON state (set state) of the big hit flag and the small hit flag is a value of “1”. Is set.

  Next, in the variation pattern setting process, as shown in FIG. 181, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “1”. If the process after step S402 is not “1” (NO in step S401), the variation pattern setting process is terminated. In step S402, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is “ON”. If the flag is “ON” in step S316 (YES in step S402), the probability variation jackpot or It is determined which of the big hits is a normal big hit (step S403). If it is a big hit with probability fluctuation (YES in step S403), it is determined whether or not it is a special hit (step S404). As will be described in detail later, any of the probability variation jackpots is “a probability variation state in which the probability that a specific profit is given in the subsequent lottery is set higher than usual, and any special symbol display 1185. When the special symbol changing time in 1186 is shortened (relatively shorter than normal time), and the ease of winning in the second starting port 2102 is increased more than usual, “Generating” is common, but it is set so that the degree of profit given to the player is greatly different between the probability fluctuation big hit that is a special hit and the general probability fluctuation big hit that is not a special hit.

  In other words, in the general probability fluctuation big hit, the opening time per opening / closing door 2260 for opening and closing the big winning opening 2103 is set to a time that allows a plurality of (for example, ten) game balls to win with a lot of time. In addition, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 2260 is controlled to be performed many times (for example, 7 times) to give many benefits. On the other hand, in the probability variation big hit that is a special hit, the opening time per opening / closing door 2260 is set to a time that can barely win several (for example, one or two) game balls. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 2260 is controlled to be performed twice, for example.

  If it is determined in step S404 that it is not a special hit, that is, if it is determined that it is a general probability fluctuation big hit (NO), a probability variation big hit variation display pattern table is selected (step S405), while a special hit is determined. If it is determined that it is a hit (YES in step S404), the probability variation special hit fluctuation display pattern table is selected (step S406). If it is determined in step S403 that the probability variation is not big hit, that is, if it is decided that the normal big hit is made (YES), the normal big hit fluctuation display pattern table is selected (step S407).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S402 that the big hit flag is not “ON” (NO), it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is “ON” (step S408), and “ON” is determined in step S319. If YES (YES in step S408), the small hit change display pattern table is selected (step S409). When the small hit flag is not “ON” (NO in step S408), it is determined whether or not the acquired reach determination random number is a random number (reach value) corresponding to reach (step S410). ) If it is a reach value (YES in step S410), a change display pattern table for loss reach is selected (step 411). If it is not a reach value (NO in step S410), a change display for loss is displayed. A pattern table is selected (step S412).

  In this way, when a variable display pattern table is selected in any step, the variable display pattern is selected based on the variable display pattern table and the variable display pattern random number acquired in either step S305 or step S309. Is determined (step S413). Next, a selection value is set as an effect command for designating the variable display pattern determined in step S413 (step S414), and a timer (this implementation) provided in the RAM 4100e of the main control board 4100 has a variable time corresponding to the variable display pattern. In this form, it is set to an effective period timer (step S415). In step S415, the variation time set in the variation display pattern determined in step S413 is set in the effective period timer.

  Note that the variable display pattern command set in step S414 is transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 in command transmission output processing. When a variable display pattern command is transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 by command transmission output processing, a drive signal is output to the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186, and the special symbol variable display is started. Let Thereafter, the processing flag is updated to “2” (step S416), and the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

  Subsequently, in the changing process, as shown in FIG. 182, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “2” (step S501). If it is “2” in step S416 (step S501). If YES in step S502, the process after step S502 is executed. If it is not “2” (NO in step S501), the changing process ends. In step S502, the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 determines whether or not the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changing. It is determined whether or not the variation time of the symbol or the second special symbol is up (step S503). When the variation time is up, that is, when the variation time is over (YES in step S503), the variation is stopped (step S504).

  If none of the special symbols has changed (NO in step S502), or if the change time has not ended (NO in step S503), the special symbols are changing without being stopped. The process ends.

  After stopping the fluctuation of the special symbol in step S504, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is “ON” (step S505). If the big hit flag is “ON”, the processing flag is updated to “3”. (Step S506). On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not “ON” (NO in step S505), it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is “ON” (step S507). If it is “ON”, the processing flag is set to “4”. Is updated to “0” (step S508). If it is not “ON”, the processing flag is updated to “0” (step S509). As described above, after the processing flag is updated in any of step S506, step S508, or step S509, the changing process is ended.

  Next, in the big hit game start processing, as shown in FIG. 183, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “3”. If it is “3” in step S506 (YES in step S601). ), The process after step S602 is executed, and if it is not “3” (NO in step S601), the big hit game start process is terminated. In step S602, it is determined whether or not the probability variation function is operating, that is, whether or not it is in the probability variation state. If the probability variation state is present (YES), the operation of the probability variation function is temporarily stopped, and the process proceeds to step S604. To do. If the state is not the probability variation state, that is, if it is the normal low probability state (NO in step S602), the process proceeds to step S604 without executing the process of step S603. In step S604, it is determined whether or not the time saving function is operating, that is, whether or not the time saving gaming state is set. If the time saving gaming state is set (YES), the operation of the time saving function is stopped (step S605). The process proceeds to S606. On the other hand, if it is not the short-time gaming state (NO in step S604), the process proceeds to step S606 without executing the process in step S605.

  In step S606, it is determined whether the type of jackpot is a general jackpot or a special jackpot. If the jackpot is a general jackpot (NO in step S606), the big winning opening 2103 is opened by the door 2260. The conditions, that is, the number of big hits to be released, the opening time per one time, and the winning limit number to the big winning opening 2103 are set (step S607). On the other hand, when the big hit is a special hit (YES in step S606), the special winning opening number, the limited number of winnings, and the opening time per time are set in the big winning opening 2103 (step S608). Thereafter, the process flag is updated to “5” (step S609), and the big hit game start process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in the small hit game start processing, as shown in FIG. 184, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “4”. If it is “4” in step S508 (YES in step S701). ), The processing of step S702 and step S703 is executed, and if the processing flag is not “4” (NO in step S701), the small hit game start processing is terminated without executing the processing of step S702 and step S703. To do. In step S702, the opening condition of the big winning opening 2103 in the case of a small hit, that is, the number of times of opening for small hits by opening / closing the opening / closing door 2260, and the opening time per one are set. Thereafter, the process flag is updated to “6” (step S703), and the small hit game start process is terminated.

  Next, in the big hit game processing, as shown in FIG. 185, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “5”, and if it is “5” in step S609 (YES in step S801). If the process after step S802 is not “5” (NO in step S801), the big hit game process is terminated. In step S802, it is determined whether or not the big prize opening 2103 is open. If it is open (YES), the opening time (elapsed time after opening) of the big prize opening 2103 is a predetermined time set in advance. Is reached (step S803), and if it has elapsed (YES in step S803), the open / close door 2260 is actuated to close the special winning opening 2103 (step S805).

  Even if the set opening time has not elapsed (NO in step S803), the number of game balls won in the big winning opening 2103 after the big winning opening 2103 is opened is set in step S607. If the limit number (for example, 10) is exceeded (YES in step S804), the process proceeds to step S805 to close the special winning opening 2103. If the opening time of the big winning opening 2103 has not reached the set time (NO in step S803) and the number of winning game balls has not reached the limit (NO in step S804), The jackpot game process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the big prize opening 2103 is not being opened in step S802 (NO), the number of times the big prize opening 2103 is opened by the open / close door 2260 is set in the big hit opening number set in step S607 or in step S608. It is determined whether or not the specified number of special hits has been reached (step S806). If not reached (NO in step S806), the open / close door 2260 is controlled to open the special winning opening 2103 (step S807), and the big hit game process is terminated. As a result, a large amount of game balls can be awarded to the big prize opening 2103.

  In step S806, when the number of times of opening of the big winning opening 2103 has reached the set number (YES), that is, when the big hit gaming state is finished, the processing of step S808 to step S813 is executed, and the subsequent lottery is performed. Set the game state for. Specifically, first, the jackpot flag is set to “OFF” (step S808), and it is determined whether or not the current jackpot is a win that activates the probability variation function (step S809). That is, it is determined whether the probability variation big hit including the special hit or the normal big hit. If the winning is a probability variation jackpot (YES in step S809), the operation of the probability variation function is started and a probability variation state with a high probability is set (step S810). That is, in the subsequent lottery, the probability of winning a big hit is set higher than normal, and the time-shortening function is activated until the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol or the second special symbol due to the lottery reaches a predetermined number (a specified number). .

  If the big hit is a special hit (YES in step S811), it is determined whether or not the probability variation function or the short time function is in operation (step S814). If it is not a special hit, that is, if it is a general probability fluctuation big hit (NO in step S810), or if a special hit is won when the probability fluctuation function or the time reduction function is already activated, The operation of the time reduction function is started (step S812), and then the processing flag is updated to “0” (step S813). That is, the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 fluctuates in the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and the variation time of the second special symbol is shortened. Increase the ease of winning a prize. On the other hand, if the probability variation function and the time-shortening function are not in operation, that is, if the probability variation state and the time-saving gaming state have not occurred and the special win is won (NO in step S814), the time-shortening function The process proceeds to step S813 without operating.

  On the other hand, if it is not a win that activates the probability variation function in step S809, that is, if it is a normal big hit (NO), the operation of the time reduction function is started and the specified number of operations in the time reduction function is set (step S815). Then, the process proceeds to step S813. That is, the time-shortening function is operated until the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol or the second special symbol due to the lottery reaches a predetermined number (specified number).

  Next, in the small hit game processing, as shown in FIG. 186, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “6”. If it is “6” in step S703 (YES in step S901). ), The process after step S902 is executed, and if it is not “6” (NO in step S901), the small hit game process is terminated. In step S902, it is determined whether or not the number of game balls won for the grand prize opening 2103 has reached a preset maximum number of winnings (step S902). If the maximum number of winnings has not been reached yet (NO) ), It is determined whether or not the special winning opening 2103 is open (that is, whether or not a game ball can be received) (step S903). If it is determined in step S903 that the big prize opening 2103 is being opened (YES), the opening time (elapsed time after opening) of the big prize opening 2103 reaches a predetermined time set in advance. It is determined whether or not (step S904), and if it has elapsed (YES in step S904), the special winning opening 2103 is closed to make it impossible to win the open / close winning device 2253 (step S905). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the number of times the special winning opening 2103 has been opened has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, twice) (step S906). It is updated to “0” (step S907), and the small hit game process is terminated.

  If the opening time of the special winning opening 2103 has not reached the predetermined time in step S904 (NO), or if the opening number has not reached the predetermined number in step S906 (NO), the process of step S907 is executed. The small hit game process is terminated without doing so. In step S903, when the big prize opening 2103 is not open (NO), the big prize opening 2103 is closed to allow the winning of the game ball (step S908). In step S902, if the number of winning game balls for the open / close winning device 2253 has reached the preset maximum number of winning (YES), it is determined whether or not the big winning opening 2103 is open (step). S909) If it is open (YES), the special prize opening 2103 is closed (step S910), and the process proceeds to step S907. On the other hand, when the special winning opening 2103 is not open (NO in step S909), the process proceeds to step S907 without executing the process of step S910. In step S907, the processing flag is updated to “0”.

[3-8. Control processing at peripheral control unit]
Next, processing executed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control unit 4140 will be described with reference to FIGS. 188 to 192. FIG. 188 is a flowchart showing an example of sub-main processing, and FIG. 189 is a flowchart showing an example of 16 ms steady processing. FIG. 190 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the command analysis process (step S1100). FIG. 191 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect control process (step S1200). FIG. 192 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the decorative symbol variation start process (step S1210).

  In the sub main process, as shown in FIG. 188, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs the initial setting process (step S1001). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing the peripheral control RAM 4140e mounted on the peripheral control unit 4140 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S1001) is completed, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set is started (step S1002).

  In this example, the peripheral control MPU 4140a generates an interrupt every 2 ms and executes a 2 ms steady process. In the 2 ms steady process, a process of counting up the 16 ms progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 ms progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 ms progress monitoring counter reaches 8, that is, when 16 ms has elapsed, At the same time as T is set, the 16 ms progress monitoring counter is reset (set to 0). In this way, the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set (set) to “1” every 16 ms in the 2 ms steady process, and is normally set (reset) to “0”. If the 16 ms elapsed flag is set in step S1002 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “1”), the 16 ms elapsed flag is reset (step S1003), and then the 16 ms steady process is performed (step S1004).

  In the 16 ms steady process, the decoration boards 214, 216, 254, 256, 286, 320, and 322 provided in the liquid crystal display device 1900, the door frame 5 and the game board 4 based on the effect command received from the main control board 4100. , 430, 432, etc., and processing for controlling the speakers 130, 222, 262, 821, etc. of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 are executed. When the 16 ms steady process ends, the process returns to step S1002 again, and every time the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms, the above-described steps S1003 to S1004 are repeated. On the other hand, when the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S1002 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

  Next, in the 16 ms steady process, the sub-peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the processes in steps S1100 to S1600 as shown in FIG. In the command analysis process in step S1100, the effect command received from the main control board 4100 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S1200, a control process related to the liquid crystal display device 1900 is executed based on the variable display pattern command. Specifically, setting of a notice effect, determination of a stop symbol of a decorative symbol, and the like are performed.

  In the sound control process in step S1300, a control process related to the speakers 130, 222, 262, and 821 for generating a sound effect (for example, BGM) that promotes the effect is executed. In the light emission decoration control process of step S1400, the control process regarding the light emission decoration by each decoration board | substrate 214,216,254,256,286,320,322,430,432 provided in the door frame 5 or the game board 4 is performed. . In the information output process in step S1500, an effect command is transmitted to each of the relay boards 3179 and 3181 attached to the rear surface of the back box 3001. In the random number update process of step S1600, a process of updating random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S1200) is executed.

  In addition, the process of step S1100 to step S1600 in the 16 ms steady process ends within 16 ms. Even if it takes 16 ms or more from the start of the 16 ms steady process to the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms steady process is started from the beginning immediately after the 16 ms has elapsed since the start of the 16 ms steady process (in step S1100 described later). Do not execute (from command parsing process). That is, when 16 ms elapses during execution of the 16 ms steady process, only the 16 ms elapse flag is set. When it is determined in step S1002 that the 16 ms elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms elapse process is performed. Start.

  In this example, the random number update process (step S1600) is executed in the 16 ms steady process to update various random numbers. However, the timing (timing) for updating the various random numbers is limited to this. is not. For example, various random numbers may be updated in one or both of the loop processing in the sub-main processing and the 16 ms steady processing.

  Next, in the command analysis process, as shown in FIG. 190, first, it is determined whether or not an effect command has been received from the main control board 4100 (step S1101). In this embodiment, when an effect command is received from the main control board 4100, other processing such as 16 ms steady processing is interrupted to generate command reception interrupt processing, and the received command is transmitted to the peripheral control of the peripheral control unit 4140. The received command storage area in the RAM 4140e is saved. The reception command storage area is provided with a plurality of areas corresponding to the reception order of the effect commands, and in the command reception interrupt process, the reception command storage areas are stored in the areas corresponding to the reception order of the effect commands. In step S1101, the contents of the received command storage area are confirmed, and if the effect command is stored, the effect command in the reception order of the reception command storage area is read (step S1102).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the read effect command is a variable display pattern command (step S1103). If the read effect command is a variable display pattern command (YES in step S1103), the variable display pattern reception flag is set. Then, it is stored in the variable display pattern storage area in the peripheral control RAM 4140e mounted on the peripheral control unit 4140 (step S1104).

  On the other hand, if the read effect command is not a variable display pattern command (NO in step S1103), it is determined whether the read effect command is a probability change jackpot command (step S1105), and if the read effect command is a probability change jackpot command. If (YES in step S1105), a probability variation jackpot flag is set (step S1106). Further, if the read effect command is not a probability change big hit command (NO in step S1105), a flag corresponding to the received effect command is set (step S1107).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 191, in the effect control process, any one of steps S1210 to S1230 is performed with reference to the value of the process selection flag indicating the progress state of the game.

  In the decorative symbol variation start process (step S1210) executed when the process selection flag is “0”, a setting is made to start the decorative symbol variation display if a variable display pattern command is received. Specifically, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined according to the variable display pattern command and the probability variation jackpot command, and the setting of the notice effect is performed.

  In the decorative symbol variation process (step S1220) executed when the process selection flag is “1”, a control command is transmitted to stop the decorative symbol variation display when a variation stop command is received.

  In the jackpot display process (step S1230) executed when the process selection flag is “2”, a display or jackpot indicating the start of the jackpot gaming state is given to the liquid crystal display device 1900 according to the jackpot start command transmitted from the main control board 4100. Control is performed to display the game state (for example, round display).

  Next, in the decorative symbol variation start process, as shown in FIG. 192, first, it is determined whether or not the variation display pattern reception flag is set (step S1221). The variation display pattern reception flag is a flag that is set in step S1104 of the command analysis process (step S1100) described above and indicates that a variation display pattern command has been received from the main control board 4100. If the variable display pattern reception flag is not set in step S1221, (NO), it is determined that the variable display pattern command has not been received, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the variable display pattern reception flag is set (YES in step S1221), the variable display pattern reception flag is reset (step S1222), and the variable display pattern based on the received variable display pattern command generates a big hit. It is determined whether it is a variable display pattern (whether it is a hit pattern) (step S1223a).

  If the variable display pattern is not a winning pattern (NO in step S1223a), a stop symbol for the lost symbol is determined (step S1224). If the variation display pattern is a hit pattern (YES in step S1223a), it is determined whether the probability variation big hit flag is set (step S1223b). If the probability variation big hit flag is set (YES), the probability variation big hit symbol is determined. Is determined (step S1225). If the probability variation big hit flag is not set (NO in step S1223b), the stop symbol of the non-probable big hit symbol is determined (step S1226). In addition, the probability variation jackpot flag is reset when the jackpot gaming state is started in the jackpot display process (step S1230). The time when the probability variation big hit flag is reset is not limited to this. For example, when the variation display of the decorative symbol is stopped in the decorative symbol variation processing (step S1220), specifically, when the variation stop command is received, the reset is performed. Alternatively, it may be reset when the big hit gaming state is ended in the big hit display process (step S1230).

  In the present embodiment, the first decorative symbol corresponding 1: 1 with the first special symbol, the second decorative symbol corresponding 1: 1 with the second special symbol, the first decorative symbol, and the second decorative symbol. A common decorative symbol sequence (hereinafter referred to as “common decorative symbol sequence”) corresponding to both the first special symbol and the second special symbol is displayed. The first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are composed of a combination of figures such as circles, crosses, sankaku, and the like. , And combinations that are lost are set in advance. In other words, if the variable display pattern is a winning pattern, stop any combination symbol from the multiple combinations set as the probable big hit symbol of the first decorative symbol or the multiple combinations set as the non-probable big hit symbol Determine as a symbol.

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs a notice selection process for determining whether or not a notice effect is to be executed based on the notice determination random number (step S1227), and is then stored in the variable display pattern and the notice type storage area. A display command is set according to the notice pattern and the stop symbol of the common decorative symbol sequence determined in steps S1225, S1226, and S1227 (step S1228). Then, the process selection flag is updated to “1” and the process ends (step S1229). The display command set in step S1228 is transmitted to the liquid crystal control unit 4150 in the information output process (step S1500), and the liquid crystal display is based on the reception of the display command by the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a of the liquid crystal control unit 4150. The apparatus 1900 starts executing the decorative symbol variation display.

  Further, when the notice pattern stored in the notice type storage area is read in step S1228, the contents of the notice type storage area are cleared after the notice pattern is read. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the notice effect based on the notice pattern determined when the change display of the previous decoration symbol is erroneously started in the next decoration pattern change display from being executed.

[4-1. Functional configuration for games on the main control board]
Subsequently, a functional configuration relating to a game such as a special symbol controlled by the main control board will be described with reference to FIGS. 193 to 196. FIG. 193 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration related to the first big hit lottery on the main control board. FIG. 194 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration related to the second big hit lottery on the main control board. FIG. 195 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration relating to an advantageous gaming state generated according to the lottery results in the first big hit lottery and the second big hit lottery. FIG. 196 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration related to the normal lottery on the main control board.

Is determined. The first hit determination table 4501 shows the relationship between the big hit determination random number value and the success or failure of the big hit or the small hit, and the winning ratio is different between the normal time and the high probability. The first winning symbol table 4502 shows the relationship between the big winning symbol random value and the stop symbol in the first special symbol indicator 1185, and each of the big winning symbol random values divided into a plurality of groups. The range is associated with the lighting state of the two LEDs (first special symbol).

  The first hit time variation time setting table 4503 is used when the result of the first big hit lottery is a big hit or small hit, and the first random time random number and the first special symbol display 1185 extracted. The first lost time changing time setting table 4504 is used when the result of the first big lottery lottery is lost and is extracted. The relationship between the random time for fluctuation time and the fluctuation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 1185 is shown. Note that the first lottery probability selection means 4505 performs processing for selecting one of the normal table and the high probability table based on the gaming state. Although not shown, the first hit symbol table 4502 includes a probability variation big hit table, a special hit table, a normal big hit table, and a small hit table, respectively. A table corresponding to the type of winning determined by the first winning / failing determining means 4506 described later is selected.

  The main control board 4100 has a first hit determination for extracting a big hit determination random number from a random counter (random number generating means) when a winning to the first start port 2101 is detected by the first start port sensor 3524. Random number extracting means 4507 and first hit symbol random number extracting means 4508 for extracting big hit symbol random numbers are provided. Also, first variation time random number extraction means 4509 is provided for extracting variation time random numbers based on the determination random number and jackpot symbol random number.

Yes.

  Further, when the random time random number extraction means 4509 extracts the random time for variation time and the first hit / fail determination means 4506 determines that it is a big hit, the first variation time random time setting table 4503 is used. When the variation time of the first special symbol is determined and the random number for variation time is extracted and the first hit / fail determination means 4506 determines that the variation is lost, the first variation time variation time setting table 4504 is determined. The first variation time determination means 4511 is provided for determining the variation time of the first special symbol using.

  Further, on the main control board 4100, the first special symbol display 1185 starts the variation of the first special symbol, and after the variation time determined by the first variation time determination means 4511 elapses, the first stop symbol determination is performed. Special symbol fluctuation control means 4512 for causing the variable symbol to stop at the stop symbol determined by the means 4510, a success / failure command relating to the presence / absence of the big hit determined by the first success / failure determination means 4506, and the first Command transmission means 4513 for transmitting a control command including a variation display command corresponding to the variation mode (time) of the special symbol is provided.

  Further, the main control board 4100 has a fixed number of balls (four times) when a winning to the first start port 2101 is detected by the first start port sensor 3524 during the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. ) Is counted as an upper limit, and the first start memory number is counted and stored, and the first reserved digest means 4514 is provided for repeatedly displaying the first special symbol as many times as the start memory number. In other words, the first holding digesting means 4514 for waiting for the execution of the first process based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port sensor 3524 is provided. The first hold digesting means 4514 will be described in more detail. The first hold digesting means 4514 is provided with a first hold control means 4514a and a first digestion control means 4514b. If a winning at the first start port 2101 is detected by the first start port sensor 3524 while the one special symbol or the second special symbol is changing, the first start memory number must reach the upper limit value “4”. For example, the value of the first start memory number is increased by “1”, the first big hit determination random number and the first big hit symbol random number are extracted, and each of the extracted random numbers is used as the first special symbol random number storage means 4515 ( (See FIG. 197).

  On the other hand, if the first special symbol or the second special symbol stops changing and the first first special symbol can be changed, the first digestion control unit 4514b sets the start memory number related to the first special symbol to “ If not "0", the first big hit determination random number and the first big hit symbol random number are read from the storage area corresponding to the starting stored number [1], the first starting stored number is reduced by "1", and Each random number value stored in each storage area n is shifted to n-1 storage areas.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 194, the main control board 4100 includes a second hit determination table 4521, a second hit symbol table 4522, and a second hit variable time setting table 4523 as the configuration related to the second big hit lottery. , And a second loss time variation time setting table 4524 is stored in advance. Based on these tables 4521 to 4524, whether or not the lottery is selected in the second big lottery, the stop symbol in the second special symbol indicator 1186, and The variation time is determined. Since the configuration of each table is the same as the configuration of each table in the first big hit lottery, detailed description is omitted here.

  The main control board 4100 also includes second hit determination random number extraction means 4525 for extracting a big hit determination random number related to the second big hit lottery when the second start port sensor 2276 detects a winning at the second start port 2102. And second random number random number extracting means 4526 for extracting the big hit symbol random number for the second big hit lottery, and the second random number extracting unit for extracting the variable time based on the determination random number and the big hit symbol random number Means 4527 are provided. Further, when the big hit determination random number extraction means 4525 extracts the big hit determination random number, the second hit determination table 4521 using the second hit determination table 4521 and the second hit determination unit 4528 for determining whether or not the big hit is determined. When the big hit symbol random number extraction means 4526 extracts the big hit symbol random number, the second special symbol display unit 1186 uses the second special symbol display unit 1186 to determine the stop symbol in the second stop symbol determination unit 4529. Yes.

  Furthermore, when the random time for variation time is extracted by the random number extraction unit for second variation time 4527 and it is determined that the big hit is determined by the second success / failure determination unit 4528, the second variation time setting table 4523 is used. When the variation time of the second special symbol is determined, and when the variation time random number is extracted and the second hit determination unit 4528 determines that the variation is lost, the second variation time variation time setting table 4524 is determined. The second variation time determining means 4530 is provided for determining the variation time of the second special symbol using the. Note that the second winning / failing determining means 4528 includes a winning restriction means 4528a, and restricts the “special big hit”, which is a big hit that does not give a specific profit to the player, so as not to occur.

  The special symbol variation control means 4512 starts the second special symbol variation in the second special symbol indicator 1186, and after the variation time determined by the second variation time determination unit 4530 has elapsed, the second stop symbol variation is performed. Fluctuation is stopped at the stop symbol determined by the determining means 4529. Further, the main control board 4100 has a fixed number of balls (four times) when the second starting port sensor 2276 detects winning in the second starting port 2102 during the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. ) Is counted as an upper limit and the second starting memory number is counted and stored, and the second reserved digesting means 4531 is provided for repeatedly displaying the variation of the second special symbol by the starting memory number. In other words, the second holding digesting means 4531 is provided for waiting for the execution of the second process based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port sensor 2276.

  The second hold digesting means 4531 will be described in more detail. The second hold digesting means 4531 is provided with a second hold control means 4531a and a second digestion control means 4531b. If the second start port sensor 2276 detects a winning to the second start port 2102 during the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the second start memory number has reached the upper limit value “4”. If not, the value of the second start memory number is increased by “1”, the second big hit determination random number and the second big hit symbol random number are extracted, and the extracted random numbers are used as the second special symbol random number storage means 4532. (See FIG. 187) in the highest storage area. On the other hand, when the first special symbol or the second special symbol stops changing and the second second special symbol can be changed, the second digestion control unit 4531b sets the start memory number related to the second special symbol to “ If not “0”, the second big hit determination random number and the second big hit symbol random number are read from the storage area corresponding to the start memory number [1], the second start memory number is decreased by “1”, and Each random number value stored in each storage area n is shifted to n-1 storage areas.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 195, the main control board 4100 has five advantageous games that give a game state advantageous to the player based on the lottery result by the first success / failure determination means 4506 or the second success / failure determination means 4528. State control means is provided. Here, the advantageous gaming state includes opening the opening / closing door 2260 of the opening / closing prize-winning device 2253 so that a game ball can be awarded to the big prize opening 2103, and the specific profit granting means 4540 or The opening / closing door 2260 of the opening / closing prize winning device 2253 is controlled to open by any one of the predetermined profit granting means 4541.

  More specifically, the predetermined profit granting unit 4541 has an opening time (protrusion time) per opening / closing door 2260 of the first predetermined time that allows several (for example, 1 to 2) game balls to be able to win a prize. In addition, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 2260 is performed at least once (twice in this example), thereby giving a predetermined profit to the player. As a result, a predetermined number of game balls can be awarded to the open / close prize-winning device 2253, but since the number that can be won is very small, the profit received by the player is relatively small. On the other hand, the specific profit granting means 4540 determines the opening time per opening / closing door 2260 of the opening / closing prize winning device 2253 as a second predetermined time that allows a plurality of (for example, 10) game balls to win with a margin. In addition, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 2260 is performed more times (7 times in this example) than the number of opening / closing operations in the case of giving a predetermined benefit, thereby giving a specific benefit to the player. . As a result, a large number of game balls can be awarded to the big prize opening 2103, and the player can obtain a large profit.

  The main control board 4100 is provided with a first advantageous gaming state control means 4542 and a second advantageous gaming state control means 4543 as means for giving a specific profit by the specific profit giving means 4540, and a predetermined profit giving means 4541. As a means for giving a predetermined profit, a third advantageous gaming state control means 4544, a fourth advantageous gaming state control means 4545, and a fifth advantageous gaming state control means 4546 are provided.

  The first advantageous gaming state generated by the first advantageous gaming state control means 4542 is a so-called “probability variation big hit”, and the lottery result of the first winning / failing determining means 4506 or the second winning / failing determining means 4528 is the first result. Occur. At this time, the specific profit is given by the specific profit granting means 4540, and the probability that the specific profit is given in the subsequent lottery is set higher than the normal time by the high probability state setting means 4547. That is, a probability variation state with a high probability is assumed. In this example, in the jackpot determination table at high probability, 60 jackpot determination values that are determined to generate a jackpot gaming state are set out of 499 jackpot determination random numbers from 0 to 498. The jackpot probability, which is the probability of a jackpot, is 60/499. On the other hand, in the normal jackpot determination table, six jackpot determination values are set out of 499 jackpot determination random numbers from 0 to 498, and the jackpot probability is 6/499.

  In the first advantageous game state, the first special symbol display unit 1548 or the second special symbol display unit 1186 causes the first special symbol display unit 1548 or the second special symbol display unit 1186 to change the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. In addition to shortening, the frequency of opening and closing the blade member 2256 of the second starting port 2102 (that is, the probability of winning in the normal lottery) is increased until the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol or the second special symbol reaches a predetermined number. By doing so, the easiness of winning a prize to the second starting port 2102 is increased as compared with the normal time. In other words, the short-time gaming state is set.

  The second advantageous gaming state generated by the second advantageous gaming state control means 4543 is a so-called “ordinary big hit”, and occurs when the lottery result of the first winning / failing determining means 4506 or the second winning / failing determining means 4528 is the second result. To do. In this win, the specific profit is given by the specific profit granting means 4540 in the same way as in the first advantageous gaming state, but in this case, the probability that the specific profit will be given in the subsequent lottery. Remains a low probability. That is, the probability fluctuation state is not entered, and the normal probability is maintained. Even in the second advantageous gaming state, the time is reduced by the temporary short state setting means 4548 until the predetermined number of times the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed after the specific profit is given. It becomes a gaming state, shortens the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and increases the frequency with which the blade member 2256 is opened and closed (that is, the probability of winning in the normal lottery), thereby holding the game ball Suppress.

  The third advantageous gaming state generated by the third advantageous gaming state control means 4544 is a so-called “special big hit”, and occurs when the lottery result of the first winning / decision determining means 4506 is the third result. In this win, first, a predetermined profit is given to the player by a predetermined profit giving means 4541 (a profit having a lower advantage than a specific profit). For the subsequent lottery, the probability that a specific profit is given is increased. That is, as in the first advantageous gaming state, the probability variation state is set. However, the short-time gaming state is generated only when the gaming state before the advantageous gaming state is generated satisfies a predetermined condition. That is, when the third advantageous gaming state occurs when the state is not the probability variation state and is not the short-time gaming state, the short-time gaming state is not generated and the probability variation state is set. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the probability variation state or the short-time gaming state and the third advantageous gaming state occurs, the second short-time state setting means 4549 is operated to generate the short-time gaming state. Yes.

  The fourth advantageous gaming state generated by the fourth advantageous gaming state control means 4545 occurs when the lottery result of the first winning / decision determining means 4506 is the fourth result. At this time, as in the third advantageous gaming state, a predetermined profit is given to the player by the predetermined profit giving means 4541. However, for the subsequent lottery, a new probability fluctuation state is not generated. Whether or not the short-time gaming state is added is determined based on the gaming state.

  The fifth advantageous gaming state generated by the fifth advantageous gaming state control means 4546 occurs when the lottery result of the first winning / decision determining means 4506 is the fifth result. At this time, giving a predetermined profit to the player by the predetermined profit granting means 4541 and giving a predetermined profit by the high probability state setting means 4547 are the same as in the third advantageous gaming state. In the advantageous gaming state, when the third advantageous gaming state is generated when not in the short-time gaming state, the short-time gaming state is not generated and the probability variation state is set. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the short-time gaming state, when the third advantageous gaming state occurs, the second short-time state setting means 4549 is operated to generate the short-time gaming state.

  In this example, the winning ratios in the respective big wins are distributed differently in the case of the first winning / failing determining means 4506 and the second winning / failing determining means 4528. Specifically, in the lottery result of the first winning / decision determining means 4506, the first big hit generated by the first advantageous gaming state control means 4542, that is, the probability fluctuation state in which both the probability fluctuation state and the fixed number of short-time gaming states are given. The big hit is set to 22% of the total big hit, and the second big hit generated by the second advantageous gaming state control means 4543, that is, the normal big hit that is given a short time gaming state for a certain number of times without being given a probability variation state. It is set to 45%.

  Further, the third big hit generated by the third advantageous gaming state control means 4544, that is, the probability variation state and the special big hit to which the conditional short time gaming state is given is set to 11%, and the fourth advantageous gaming state control means 4545 is set. The fifth big hit generated by the fifth advantageous gaming state control means 4546 is set to 11%, which is a special big hit that is given a conditional short-time gaming state without being given a probability variation state. That is, the special jackpot to which the probability variation state and the conditional short-time game state are given is set to 11%.

  On the other hand, in the lottery result of the second winning / decision determining means 4528, the first big hit generated by the first advantageous gaming state control means 4542 is set to 44% of the entire big hit, and the second advantageous gaming state control means 4543 generates the first big hit. The two big hits are set to 56%. The second hit / fail determining means 4528 is set so as not to generate a special big hit, that is, the third big hit, the fourth big hit and the fifth big hit. For this reason, it is possible to reliably prevent the probability fluctuation state from being terminated without giving a specific profit, and to suppress a significant decrease in gaming motivation due to sudden demotion.

  In addition, the ratio of the first big hit or the fifth big hit that gives a specific profit to the first big hit or the second big hit is higher in the second winning / decision determining means 4528. In the jackpot lottery by the first winning / decision determining means 4506, the opening / closing door 2260 in the opening / closing prize winning device 2253 is opened relatively frequently, but the occurrence of the jackpot to which a specific profit is given can be limited to some extent. . On the other hand, in the big hit lottery by the second winning / decision determining means 4528 which is substantially effective in the short-time gaming state, there is a high possibility that a specific profit will be given. In addition, it is possible to suppress a decrease in gaming motivation.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 196, the main control board 4100 has, as a configuration relating to the normal lottery (lottery for increasing the ease of winning the second start port 2102), a normal hit determination random number extraction means 4551, A normal hit determination table 4552 and a normal hit determination unit 4553 are provided. The normal hit determination random number extracting means 4551 extracts a normal hit determination random number from a random counter (random number generating means) when the gate sensor 2104b detects the passage of the game ball to the gate portion 2104a. Further, the normal hit determination table 4552 is divided into a high probability table and a normal probability table. In the high probability normal hit determination table, 251 normal hit determination random numbers from 0 to 250 are stored. Of these, 250 determination values for normal hit are set, and the probability of normal hit is 250/251.

  On the other hand, in the normal normal hit determination table, one of the determination values for normal hit is set out of 251 normal hit determination random numbers from 0 to 250, and the probability of normal hit is 1/251. ing. In the normal lottery at high probability, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 13.56 seconds, the opening time of the blade member 2256 by the solenoid 2267 is 1180 ms, the number of times of opening is 3 times, and the interval between opening is 512 ms. Is set. On the other hand, in the normal lottery at the normal time, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 13.6 seconds on average, the opening time of the blade member 2256 is set to 180 ms, and the number of times of opening is set once.

  When the normal hit determination random number extraction unit 4551 extracts the normal hit determination random number, the normal hit determination unit 4553 extracts the extracted random number and the normal hit determination value stored in the normal hit determination table 4552. Are determined to be normal hits if they match. At this time, the gaming state determination means 4554 determines whether or not the gaming state is a specific gaming state, that is, a short-time gaming state, and if it is a short-time gaming state, a table with a high probability is selected and the short-time gaming is selected. If not, the normal table is selected. For this reason, even in the case of the first big hit generated by the first advantageous gaming state control means 4542, when the short-time gaming state ends for a certain number of times, the table at the high probability is switched from the table at the normal time. ing.

  In addition, when the normal lottery determination unit 4553 determines whether or not the normal lottery is determined on the main control board 4100, the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display 1189 in a variable manner, and the change time (about 14 seconds or about 1 second). After the elapse of time, a normal symbol variation control means 4555 for displaying the result of the success / failure is provided. Further, when the normal hit determination unit 4553 determines that the normal winning is determined, after the normal symbol fluctuation is stopped, the blade member 2256 is opened, and the opening control unit 4556 that makes it easy to win the game ball in the second start port 2102. Is provided.

[4-1A. Game contents by main board]
Next, game contents by the main board 4000 including the main control board 4100 and the payout control board 4110 will be described. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 is moved to the game panel 1150 when the player rotates the handle device 500 arranged at the lower right of the door frame 5. The game area 1100 is placed in front of the game area 1100, and a game with a game ball is started. A game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the game area 1100 flows down in the game area 1100 on the upper left or right side of the center accessory 2400 depending on the strength of the game.

  The game ball driving strength is determined by detecting the amount of rotation of the handle device 500 with the rotation position detection sensor 512 and then using the shot control unit 4120 with the shot control unit 4120 based on the detection signal from the rotation position detection sensor 512. The driving strength of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled so that it can be driven harder as it is rotated in the clockwise direction. Further, in the game area 1100, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted on the front surface of the game panel 1150 in a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game balls come into contact with the obstacle nails so that the game balls flow down. The speed is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movements can be enjoyed.

  When the game ball that has been driven into the upper portion of the center accessory 2400 flows down from the right and left center to the right side of the center accessory 2400, the game ball is guided to the right area of the center accessory 2400. Then, when the game ball flowing down the right side of the center accessory 2400 enters the gate portion 2104a arranged on the right side of the center accessory 2400 and is detected by the gate sensor 2104b, it is used for the normal hit determination as the normal lottery result. A random number is extracted. Then, based on the normal hit determination random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1189 in the function display unit 1180 is variably displayed (the normal symbol display 1189 consisting of one LED emits light in red, green and orange alternately. ), And a normal symbol based on a random number for normal hit determination (ordinary lottery result) extracted after a predetermined time (for example, between 2 seconds and 30 seconds) is stopped (normal symbol indicator 1189 is displayed in red or green) ). The normal symbol variation display is performed based on the normal symbol variation pattern selected from the ordinary hit determination table 4552 (ordinary symbol variation pattern selection table).

  Specifically, if the selected random number is a “normal hit” random number, the normal symbol indicating the winning is stopped (the normal symbol indicator 1189 emits green light), and the selected normal random number is a “normal lose” random number. In the case of, stop display is performed with a normal symbol suggesting a loss (the normal symbol indicator 1189 emits red light). Then, when the normal symbol indicating the hit is stopped and displayed, the pair of blade members 2256 that close the second starting port 2102 expands for a predetermined opening time (for example, between 0.3 seconds and 3 seconds). The game ball can be awarded to the second start port 2102 by repeating a predetermined number of times (for example, 1 to 3 times).

  Note that the variation time of the normal symbol and the expansion time of the blade member 2256 at the second start port 2102 are changed according to the first hit determination random number or the second hit determination random number (special lottery result). As a result of special lottery, when “short time per hour (including normal short time per hour, high probability per short time, etc.)” is extracted, it is normal to change the fluctuation time and expansion time to a short time. The hit determination table 4552 can be replaced from a normal table to a high probability table.

  By the way, in this example, when the passing of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2104b while the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display 1189 while the normal symbol is variably displayed, the normal symbol that is changing is stopped and the normal symbol generated and extracted first. Until the result of the random number is fixed, the random number for normal hit determination (including the normal symbol variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2104b is temporarily stored and the display is suspended. The number of random numbers for determining normal hits (also referred to as the number of holds) is displayed on the normal symbol storage display 1188. This normal symbol memory display 1188 is composed of four LEDs, and suggests the number of memories by the number of each LED to be lit. In this example, up to four are stored and the number of pending is displayed. It is like that. When the number of holdings exceeds four, the normal hit determination random number extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2104b is discarded.

  In addition, when a game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 wins a general winning opening 2202 and 2251 and is detected by the general winning opening sensor 3522, the main control board 4100 determines a payout control board based on the detection signal. A predetermined payout command is transmitted to 4110, and the payout control board 4110 controls the payout motor 744 of the prize ball device 740 in accordance with the payout command so that a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls The payout is made to 301.

  If the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 does not win any of the general winning holes 2202, 2251, the first starting port 2101, the second starting port 2102, and the big winning port 2103, the gaming area It is provided at the lower center in the left-right direction of 1100 and is discharged from the out port 1151 to the lower rear side of the game board 4. In addition, regardless of whether the game ball wins the general winning port 2202, 2251, the first starting port 2101, the second starting port 2102, or the big winning port 2103, the winning game ball is returned to the gaming area 1100. The game board 4 is discharged to the lower rear side without any problem.

  On the other hand, when the game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2400 enters the passage port 2230 of the lid-like regulating member 2231 and is drawn by the blade 2213 that is always controlled to open and close at a fixed timing, the game ball enters the chance port 2211. Guided. The chance opening 2211 is arranged right above the first start opening 2101 so that a game ball can be received into the first start opening 2101 with a high probability. When a game ball is received by the first start port 2101 and detected by the first start port sensor 3524, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls from the prize ball device 740 via the main control board 4100 or the like. Is dispensed to the upper plate 301.

  By the way, when the game ball enters the gate portion 2104a and is detected by the gate sensor 2104b and “normal hit” is drawn as a normal lottery result, as described above, a pair of blade members that close the second start port 2102 When the game ball is received by the second start port 2102 and detected by the second start port sensor 2276, the main control board 4100 and the like are Accordingly, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out from the prize ball device 740 to the upper plate 301.

  In the main control board 4100, when a game ball wins the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 and is detected by the first start port sensor 3524 and the second start port sensor 2276, the first start port A predetermined first hit determination random number is extracted at the port 2101, and a predetermined second hit determination random number is extracted at the second start port 2102. Then, based on the extracted hit determination random number, after the special symbol variation display displayed on the corresponding first special symbol display 1185 or second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 is started, The special symbol corresponding to the extracted winning determination random number is stopped and displayed as a special lottery result. When the special symbol is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 in a manner suggesting “big hit”, the opening / closing door 2260 of the open / close prize winning device 2253 is opened / closed in a predetermined pattern. A special advantageous gaming state that operates (for example, a big hit game) is generated, and during that time, a game ball is awarded to the big prize opening 2103, so that more game balls can be obtained. When a single game ball wins the big prize opening 2103, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 301 from the prize ball device 740.

  In the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 as well, the first special symbol indicator 1185 and the second special symbol indicator are displayed in the same manner as the normal symbol variation display due to the game ball entering the gate portion 2104a. In 1186, when the special symbol is variably displayed, or when the special symbol such as the big hit game as the special advantageous gaming state cannot be variably displayed, the game ball is awarded to the start ports 2101 and 2102 and the first start port sensor 3524 is obtained. When detected by the second start port sensor 2276, the first signal extracted based on the detection signals from the first start port sensor 3524 and the second start port sensor 2276 until the special symbol variation display is possible. The random number for hit judgment and the random number for second hit judgment are stored and the display is suspended, and the stored number of the random numbers for hit judgment is stored in the first special figure. So as to display the stored display 1184 and the second special symbol memory indicator 1187. The first special symbol memory display 1184 and the second special symbol memory indicator 1187 are each composed of two LEDs, so that the number of memories is suggested by the combination of the light emission state of each LED that is turned off / on / flashing. In this example, up to four each are stored and displayed. In addition, when the number of holdings exceeds four, the extracted random numbers for hit determination are discarded.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, the first hit determination random number extracted based on the detection of the first start port sensor 3524 and the second start port sensor 2276 and the second hit determination random number are determined in advance. By collating with predetermined predetermined hit determination tables 4501 and 4521 (also referred to as special symbol variation pattern tables), the hit determination random number is any one of “lost”, “small hit”, and “big hit”. In addition, it is also determined whether “big hit” is “2R big hit” or “15R big hit”. In addition, the hit determination tables 4501 and 4521 can also determine “short change-free hits”, “probability change”, “short-time wins”, “short wins during probability change”, and the like.

  Then, the first hit determination random number and the second hit determination random number extracted (lottery) triggered by the start winning of the game balls to the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 (the special lottery result is), In the case of “small hit”, the main control board 4100 opens and closes an opening / closing pattern in which the opening / closing door 2260 of the opening / closing prize winning device 2253 is opened in a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). It is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice).

  On the other hand, when the extracted first hit determination random number or second hit determination random number is “big hit”, the main control board 4100 opens the open / close door 2260 of the open / close prize apparatus 2253 for a predetermined time ( For example, about 30 seconds), or when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls satisfy the winning prize opening 2103 with any winning condition, the opening / closing pattern (one time) The opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round), and is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). An advantageous gaming state advantageous to the above is generated. For the “big hit” after the predetermined number of rounds, the hit determination table is changed to a high probability table according to the extracted hit determination random number. Further, the variable time setting tables 4503, 4504, 4523, and 4524 are appropriately changed in order to set the time-short state or cancel the time-short state according to the hit determination random number.

[4-2. Functional configuration for games on peripheral control board]
Next, a functional configuration relating to a game including a first decorative symbol, a second decorative symbol, and a common decorative symbol sequence on the peripheral control board 4010 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 197 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration related to effects on the peripheral control board (mainly the peripheral control unit 4140 and the liquid crystal control unit 4150).

  In the peripheral control board 4010 of this example, as shown in FIG. 197, when the control information command transmitted from the main control board 4100 is received by the command receiving means 4560, on the basis of this, the 7-segment display unit 2403 Various functions for controlling the three symbol display units 2430, the number display unit 2431, and the state display unit 2404 are provided. That is, as a table for effects corresponding to the first big hit lottery, a first hit effect mode table 4561 and a first lose time effect mode table 4562 are stored in advance, and based on these tables 4561 and 4562, The production mode in the step production and the development production is determined.

  First, the production mode tables 4561 and 4562 will be described in detail. The first hit time effect mode table 4561 is used in the case of big hit (or small hit), and shows the relationship between the random number for determining the effect (described later) and the effect mode (in this case, the effect pattern in the step effect and the development effect). It is shown. In addition, the first losing effect mode table 4562 is a table used in the case of losing, and shows the relationship between the effect determining random number and the effect pattern.

  This peripheral control board 4010 is provided with first effect random number extraction means 4563 for extracting effect determination random numbers from a random counter (not shown), and first effect mode determination means 4564 for determining effect patterns. . When receiving the control command via the command receiving means 4560, the first effect mode determining means 4564 extracts the effect random number by the first effect random number extracting means 4563 and the success / failure command included in the control command is a big hit (or In the case of indicating a small hit), an effect pattern is determined from the effect random number extracted by the first effect random number extraction means 4563 and the effect effect mode table 4561 at the time of first hit, while the success / failure command is determined. In the case of indicating a loss, the effect pattern is determined from the effect random number extracted by the first effect random number extraction means 4563 and the effect mode table 4562 at the time of the first loss.

  The effect pattern determined by the first effect mode determining means 4564 is extracted from the effect pattern storage means (not shown) and sent to the first effect display control means 4565. The first effect display control means 4565 reads out the images of those effects from the image storage means (character ROM 4150d) and derives them to the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the like.

  On the other hand, a first decorative symbol variation control means 4566 is provided as a functional configuration related to the production of the first decorative symbol. Based on the control command received by the command receiving unit 4560, the first decorative symbol variation control unit 4566 reads and varies the stop symbol from the first decorative symbol storage unit (not shown), and the variation included in the control command. The decorative design is stopped based on the time, the success / failure command, etc. (that is, the lottery result).

  In the above description, the effects related to the first big hit lottery have been described, but the peripheral control board 4010 is also provided with a functional configuration for performing effects related to the second big hit lottery. Specifically, a second winning effect mode table 4567 and a second losing effect mode table 4568 are stored in advance as the effect tables corresponding to the second big hit lottery. These tables 4567 and 4568 are stored in advance. Based on this, the production mode in the step production and the development production is determined. Since the production mode tables 4567 and 4568 have the same configuration as the production mode tables 4561 and 4562 corresponding to the first big hit lottery, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  In addition, on the peripheral control board 4010, corresponding to the second big hit lottery, the second effect random number extraction means 4569, the second effect mode determination means 4570, the second effect display control means 4571, and the second decorative symbol variation control. Although means 4572 is provided, these configurations also have the same function as the functional configuration corresponding to the first big hit lottery, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  In addition, the peripheral control board 4010 is provided with decorative symbol sequence fluctuation display means 4573 and big hit display means 4574. The decorative symbol sequence variation display means 4573 is based on the outputs of the first decorative symbol variation control means 4566 and the second decorative symbol variation control means 4572, or based on the control command received by the command receiving means 4560. While changing the symbol sequence, the common decorative symbol sequence is sequentially stopped based on the variation time and the success / failure command included in the control command (that is, the lottery result).

  The jackpot display means 4574 is related to the lottery when the lottery result of the first jackpot lottery or the second jackpot lottery is the first jackpot or the second jackpot, that is, when the “probable big hit” or “normal jackpot”. After stopping the variation of the common decorative design sequence, it is displayed that “big hit”. In addition, when the lottery result of the first big hit lottery or the second big hit lottery is the third big hit, the fourth big hit, or the fifth big hit, it is not displayed as “winning”, and the common decorative design column After the change is stopped, the effect related to the lottery is finished.

[4-3. Specific production by center actor]
Next, based on FIG. 198, a series of effects using the character driving combination 3003, the seven-segment display unit 2403, and the state display unit 2404 arranged in the central portion of the game area 1100 will be specifically described.

  The character driving combination 3003 is configured using a character portion 3109 that operates in various patterns. Specifically, in this example, a character portion 3109 simulating a round bomb character with sunglasses is used. In this character driving agent 3003, various effects are performed by various actions of the character portion 3109. Here, in this example, the character portion 3109 is rotationally driven by a motor 3114 (see FIG. 164), and is moved up and down by an elevating support device 3101 (see FIG. 161). Rotate clockwise when viewed from above (hereinafter referred to as “right rotation”), rotate counterclockwise (hereinafter referred to as “left rotation”), or move up and down during rotation, or do not rotate Various motion patterns are set, such as moving up and down.

  Further, most of the character part 3109 (the part of the character's face) is formed of a white translucent resin through which various colors of light can be transmitted, and the character part 3109 has three primary colors of light. A light emitting substrate 3124 capable of emitting light of three colors of “red”, “green”, and “blue” is provided. As a result, when the character unit 3109 operates, various colors of light are output from the light emitting substrate 3124, so that not only the effect by the operation of the character unit 3109 (hereinafter referred to as “motion effect”) but also the color of the character unit 3109. Production (hereinafter referred to as “color production”) can also be performed.

  The 7-segment display unit 2403 can display a plurality of types of symbols. In this example, the seven-segment display unit 2403 is configured using three symbol display units 2430 that can display a plurality of types of symbols. Each of the symbol display units 2430 is projected by a light emitting substrate 2439 (see FIG. 135) that can emit light of a plurality of colors, and the light emitting substrate 2439 emits light from a plurality of types of symbols. Display the design according to the color. In this example, using a light emitting diode capable of emitting light of two colors, blue and red, when it is lit in blue, the “GO” symbol (hereinafter referred to as “operational symbol”) is displayed and lit in red Then, a symbol “x” (hereinafter referred to as “non-operational symbol”) is displayed.

  Note that the decoration unit 2438 connected to the symbol display unit 2430 can perform display (hereinafter referred to as “progress display”) indicating that a series of effects progress. Specifically, it is arranged between each symbol display unit 2430 and the number display unit 2431, and displays the progress from the symbol display unit 2430 to the number display unit 2431. When an operation symbol is displayed on at least one symbol display unit 2430 when the symbol change in the symbol display unit 2430 is completed, the operation symbol is displayed at the same time as the display of the entire symbol display unit 2430 is completed. In the decoration portion 2438 corresponding to the displayed symbol display portion 2430, the light emitting diodes are sequentially turned off or turned on from the symbol display portion 2430 to the number display portion 2431 from the state where all the light emitting diodes are turned on or off. As a result, a display in which turning off or lighting progresses from the symbol display portion 2430 to the numeric display portion 2431 is performed. Here, in this example, the decoration part 2438 imitating a squib is used, and the progress display makes it appear as if the squib is on fire and the fire type advances toward the number display part 2431.

  The number display unit 2431 can display a plurality of types of symbols, and in this example, is configured using a 7-segment display 2441 (see FIG. 135). And in this number display part 2431, when a progress display is performed by at least one of the three decoration parts 2438, the change of the symbol is started in accordance with the end timing of the progress display, and after a predetermined time has elapsed. The change is stopped and an appropriate symbol is displayed. Here, in this example, the number display unit 2431 displays numbers “1” to “9” as symbols. In addition, each segment of the 7-segment display 2441 can emit light of the three primary colors, “red”, “green” and “blue”, and can display various colors. It is a thing.

  The character driving combination 3003 and the 7-segment display unit 2403 as described above operate as follows. First, when the big hit lottery is performed, the operation of the character part 3109 of the character driving accessory 3003 is started, and the character part 3109 performs the first effect. Here, in the first effect, the character portion 3109 moves up and down and emits light in various colors such as blue and red. The first effect is set to a sufficiently long time, for example, 3 seconds so that the character part 3109 in operation can be confirmed with certainty.

  Next, when the first effect at the character driving combination 3003 is finished, simultaneously with the end of the first effect, the symbol display unit 2430 of the seven-segment display unit 2403 starts changing the symbol and performs the second effect. Here, during the second presentation, each symbol display unit 2430 repeats the display of the operating symbol (“GO”) and the non-operating symbol (“×”) at a constant rhythm. Perform a simple production inside. Further, the second effect is set to a sufficiently long time, for example, 3 seconds so that each symbol display unit 2430 in operation can be confirmed. During the second performance, all the light emitting diodes of each decoration portion 2438 are turned on, and it is expressed that there is a conducting wire between each symbol display portion 2430 and the number display portion 2431.

  Further, during the second performance, there may be a performance by the operation of the character part 3109. For example, when there is at least one symbol display unit 2430 for displaying an operation symbol, the character unit 3109 is rotated once or the symbol display unit 2430 for displaying an operation symbol is three prior to the end of the second effect. If the character part 3109 produces a predetermined event such as rotating the character part 3109 three times at a high speed prior to the end of the second effect, the effect of the character part 3109 To notice. Note that the effect of the character portion 3109 performed during the second effect is different from the first effect described above, and can be regarded as an “overlapping effect” overlapping the second effect. In addition, this overlap effect is set not to always appear when a predetermined event occurs in the 7-segment display unit 2403 but to appear with a probability when a predetermined event occurs. . As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a problem that the corresponding predetermined event does not occur due to the absence of the overlapping effect and the effect of the effect due to the second effect is reduced.

  Next, when the symbols are displayed on all the symbol display portions 2430 and the symbols for operation are displayed on at least one symbol display portion 2430, the symbols for displaying the symbols for operation are displayed simultaneously with the end of the second effect. At the decoration unit 2438 corresponding to the display unit 2430, the progress display is started and the third effect is performed. Here, the third effect is merely to show the transition of the effect from the symbol display unit 2430 to the number display unit 2431, and it is only necessary to confirm that the effect is transferred. In order to prevent the ratio of the production during the production from becoming excessively large, the time is set shorter than the first production and the second production, for example, 2 seconds.

  On the other hand, when the operating symbol is not displayed on at least one of the symbol display units 2430, that is, when the non-operating symbol is displayed on all of the symbol display units 2430, any decoration unit 2438 is displayed. The production is ended without being operated, that is, without performing the third production.

  When the third effect is performed in the decoration unit 2438, the number display unit 2431 changes the design at the same time as the third effect ends or after a short period of time, for example, within one second. Start and perform the fourth effect on the number display unit 2431. In the fourth effect, the number display unit 2431 displays the symbols after changing them in various patterns. Here, the fourth effect is to entertain the player by the variation of various patterns of the design, and the effect time is set to be different depending on the type of the fourth effect. The symbols displayed on the number display unit 2431 remain displayed on the number display unit 2431 until the fourth presentation is started next time, that is, until the next time the number display unit 2431 starts changing the symbols. Maintain in the state of.

  In this example, if the lottery result is the first winning in the number display section 2431, the number “7” is displayed, and if it is the second winning, the third winning and the fourth winning, , “3” is displayed. On the other hand, if the lottery result is a loss, numbers other than “7” and “3” are displayed. Therefore, when the number display unit 2431 displays a number “3”, it is understood that the winning is, but the winning is any of the second winning, the third winning or the fourth winning. Whether or not it can be determined.

  By the way, with regard to the fourth effect, when it appears, there is a high possibility that the winning symbol (in this example, the numbers “7” and “3”) will be displayed, giving the player a high expectation. (Hereinafter referred to as “high expectation effect”) and even if it appears, it is unlikely that the winning symbol will be displayed, and the effect that does not give the player a high expectation (hereinafter “low expectation effect”) At least two types of effects are prepared, and a difference can be made in the expectation for displaying the winning symbol depending on the type of effects.

  Here, in order to make the expectation of the low expectation effect low and the expectation of the high expectation effect high, if the lottery result is unsuccessful when selecting the effect type, the high expectation effect The low expectation effect may be more easily selected, whereas if it is a win, the high expectation effect may be selected more easily than the low expectation effect. In addition, when there are three or more types of effects with different degrees of expectation, if the result is a loss, the higher the degree of expectation, the less likely it is to be selected.

  Further, the type of the fourth effect is associated with the display contents of the symbol display unit 2430 and the decoration unit 2438 as follows. That is, as the number of the symbol display units 2430 displaying the operation symbols on the symbol display unit 2430 is large and the number of progress displays (actuated) on the decoration unit 2438 increases, It is designed to make it easier to produce an expectation effect. In particular, in this example, as the number of activated decorations 2438 increases, an effect with a higher degree of expectation appears more easily as the fourth effect. As a result, the display contents of the symbol display unit 2430 and the decoration unit 2438 can cause a difference in expectation for the fourth effect that appears, and eventually the symbol display unit 2431 displays the winning symbol. A difference can be made in the sense of expectation. Therefore, the second effect on the symbol display unit 2430 and the third effect on the decoration unit 2438 are not merely a process effect until the fourth effect is performed in a series of effects, but interest the player. It is a production that plays an important role.

  Specifically, in this example, as the fourth effect, “first expectation effect”, “second expectation effect”, “third expectation effect”, “fourth expectation effect”, “fifth expectation degree” There are six types of effects such as “effect” and “sixth expectation effect”. Here, for each performance, among the first to sixth, the larger the number, the higher the degree of expectation. In particular, when the sixth expectation degree effect appears, a winning symbol is displayed. It is a so-called “determined effect” that is determined to be performed. In a pattern in which the number of activated decoration parts 2438 is one (hereinafter referred to as “one progress display pattern”), an effect with a lower expectation is easier to appear, whereas an effect with a higher expectation is less likely to appear. ing.

  Further, in a pattern in which the number of activated decoration parts 2438 is two (hereinafter, “two progress display pattern”), the first expectation degree effect and the second expectation degree effect do not appear. In other words, the third expectation degree It is decided that a production with an expectation level higher than the production will appear. And for the third to sixth effects that may appear in the two-progress display pattern, the effects with lower expectations are easier to appear, while the effects with higher expectations are more difficult to appear. Yes.

  Also, in a pattern in which the number of activated decorations 2438 is three (hereinafter, “3 progress display pattern”), the first expectation degree effect, the second expectation degree effect, the third expectation degree effect, and the fourth expectation degree effect are provided. It does not appear, in other words, it is determined that an effect with an expectation level higher than the fifth expectation effect appears. As for the fifth and sixth effects that may appear in the three-progress display pattern, the effects with lower expectations are easier to appear, while the effects with higher expectations are more difficult to appear. .

  In this way, in order to vary the possibility of appearance of the fourth effect depending on the display contents of the symbol display unit 2430 and the decoration unit 2438, the display contents of the symbol display unit 2430 and the decoration unit 2438 and the type of the fourth effect are determined. A plurality of types of effect patterns combined may be prepared in advance and set so that an appropriate effect pattern is selected with an appropriate probability based on a lottery result. Also, not limited to this, the type of the fourth effect is determined in the first stage processing based on the lottery result, and the symbol display unit is selected as the second stage processing in accordance with the determined fourth effect. The display contents of the 2430 and the decoration unit 2438 may be determined.

  The symbols displayed on the number display unit 2431 are associated not only with the type of the fourth effect but also with the display content of the character driving accessory 3003, that is, the “type of effect” as follows.

  In the first effect at the character driving combination 3003, the character portion 3109 moves up and down, and “first color” (for example, blue), “second color” (for example, yellow), and “third color” (for example, for example). Green), “fourth color” (for example, red), “fifth color” (for example, white), “sixth color” (for example, seven colors of rainbow), and the like, as appropriate, selected from a plurality of types of colors It is supposed to emit light. Then, the first effect that has a higher possibility of displaying a winning symbol as the character portion 3109 emits light with a larger number among the first to sixth colors, and has a high expectation for the player. It has become. In particular, the effect that the character portion 3109 emits light in the sixth color is an effect indicating that it has been determined that the symbol for winning will be displayed. As a result, the first effect at the character driving combination 3003 is not a simple effect at the initial stage, but an effect that plays an important role that can make the player interested.

  In order to change the possibility of displaying the winning symbol on the number display unit 2431 according to the type of the first effect, an appropriate type of effect is appropriately selected as the first effect based on the lottery result. It may be set so that it is selected with the probability of.

  In addition, the first effect on the character driving combination 3003, the display contents on the symbol display unit 2430 and the decoration unit 2438, and the symbol displayed on the number display unit 2431 are associated with each other, thereby a series of effects. The production effect can also be improved. For example, if a predetermined effect is made as the first effect and the display content on the symbol display unit 2430 and the decoration unit 2438 becomes the predetermined display content, a predetermined fourth effect appears on the number display unit 2431. "If the predetermined effect is made as the first effect and the predetermined fourth effect appears on the number display unit 2431, it is determined that the winning symbol is displayed on the number display unit 2431." And the like.

  And in order to associate in this way, the kind of 1st effect, the kind of display contents in the symbol display part 2430 and the decoration part 2438, the kind of the 4th effect in the number display part 2431, and the number display part 2431 An effect pattern in which items such as the types of symbols displayed in the above are appropriately combined is prepared in advance, and an appropriate effect pattern may be selected with an appropriate probability based on the lottery result. Further, the present invention is not limited to this, and based on the lottery result, the type of the fourth effect is determined by a multi-stage process. Based on this, the display contents of the symbol display unit 2430 and the decoration unit 2438 are determined, You may make it determine the kind of one production.

  On the other hand, when determining the type of the first effect and the type of the fourth effect, it is also effective to determine each by individual processing based on the lottery results that are not influenced by each other. If a highly anticipated production is made as the first production, and if a production with a high degree of expectation is made as the fourth production, there is a possibility that a production with a high degree of expectation was selected because the lottery result was won. It is high and can give a great sense of expectation to the player, but if an effect with a high degree of expectation is made as one effect, but if an effect with a low expectation is made as another effect, than the above example The effect of the lottery is improved by the synergistic effect of multiple productions in a series, such as the possibility that the lottery result is unlikely to win and the player can be prevented from having a great sense of expectation unnecessarily. It is because it can be made.

  On the other hand, the status display unit 2404 is configured using a rotating body 2450 that operates in various patterns. In the state display unit 2404, an effect relating to the gaming state is performed by the operation of the rotating body 2450. Details of the effects relating to the gaming state are as follows. The state shown in FIG. 198 is an initial state of the state display unit 2404, and the rotating body 2450 does not indicate any index of the V-shaped scale 2444, the heaven-shaped scale 2467, and the scale portion 2453 described later. . In the initial state, the V-shaped scale 2444, the heaven-shaped scale 2467, and the scale portion 2453 are all turned off.

  The rotating body 2450 is configured to be rotationally driven by a rotation driving unit 2451 (see FIG. 139). Around the rotating body 2450, a plurality of V-shaped scale 2444, heaven-shaped scale 2467, and scale section 2453 are provided. An indicator is provided. In the status display unit 2404, an appropriate index is indicated by the rotation position of the pointer 2454 provided on the rotating body 2450.

  The V-shaped scale 2444 displays an indicator that the state of the pachinko machine 1 is in the state of the first special game. A letter “V” is drawn on the V-shaped scale 2444 and is decorated with light-emitting diodes that are turned on and off in a single color. In the V-shaped scale 2444, the V-shaped scale 2444 is displayed by indicating the V-shaped scale 2444 with the pointer 2454. The indicator is also displayed by lighting the lamp. This display can also be recognized by the fact that the image of the V-shaped scale 2444 reflected on the mirror surface portion 2455 of the surface of the rotating body 2450 and the tip of the pointer 2454 appear to overlap each other.

  The heavenly scale 2467 is used to display an indicator that the first special game is finished and the state of the pachinko machine 1 is in the probable first temporary short state. In addition, the heaven-shaped scale 2467 may maintain the indicator display and change the state of the pachinko machine 1 even if it becomes the second win, the third win or the fourth win under the probable first temporary short state. It also indicates that there is no indicator. In addition, this indicates a state in which more time-saving games still remain than the number of time-saving games counted down by the scale unit 2453 described later. The heavenly scale 2467 is drawn with the characters “heaven” and is decorated with light emitting diodes that are turned on and off in a single color. In the heaven type scale 2467, the heaven type scale 2467 is displayed by indicating the heaven type scale 2467 with the pointer 2454. Also, the indicator display is performed by turning on the light emitting diode. Furthermore, this display can also be recognized by the fact that the image of the heaven-shaped scale 2467 reflected on the mirror surface 2455 of the rotating body 2450 and the tip of the pointer 2454 appear to overlap each other.

  The scale portion 2453 is in the second win or the third win under the probability change first short state, and the state of the pachinko machine 1 becomes the probability change second time short state or the non-probability change second time short state. When the time-short game is digested under the time-short state or the non-probability second time-short state, and the time-short game is reduced, the remaining number of time-short games is counted down. Here, the scale portion 2453 is projected with light by a light emitting diode that is turned on and off in a single color. In this scale portion 2453, the scale portion 2453 on the most heavenly scale 2467 side is indicated by the pointer 2454, so that the countdown of the short-time game is started, and the scale indicated by the pointer 2454 every time the short-time game is digested. By shifting the sections 2453 one by one from the heavenly scale 2467 side, the countdown display of the short-time game is performed. In addition, the state in which all the scale portions 2453 are turned on is a state in which the countdown of the short-time game is started, and each time the short-time game is digested, each lit scale portion 2453 is changed from the heaven-shaped scale 2467 side. By turning off the lights one by one, a time-down game countdown is displayed. The position indicated by the pointer 2454 deviates from the scale portion 2453 farthest from the heaven-shaped scale 2467, and when all the pointers 2454 are extinguished, the initial state is indicated, indicating that the short-time game has ended.

  Next, the operation mode of the state display unit 2404 as the game progresses will be described in detail. If the pachinko machine 1 is in the normal state, the second special game will occur if it becomes the second win, the third win or the fourth win under the non-probable non-short-time state, but the short-time game will not occur, The display unit 2404 maintains the initial state. On the other hand, when the first winning is achieved, with the start of the first special game, in the state display unit 2404, the rotating body 2450 rotates clockwise from the position in the initial state and changes to a position indicating the V-shaped scale 2444. To do. Further, the V-shaped scale 2444 is turned on. Such a state of the state display unit 2404 is a state in which the V-shaped scale 2444 is displayed as an index.

  When the first special game is finished, the state of the pachinko machine 1 is in the second state of probability change. In the status display unit 2404, the position indicated by the pointer 2454 is shifted to the position indicating the heaven-shaped scale 2467. Further, the V-shaped scale 2444 is turned off and the heaven-shaped scale 2467 is turned on. The state of the state display unit 2404 is a state in which the heavenly scale 2467 is displayed as an indicator.

  When the first winning is again performed under the second chance of the probability change, the first special game is generated again, and the state display unit 2404 displays the V-shaped scale 2444 as an indicator along with the generation of the first special game. It becomes a state. As described above, when the first winning is repeated, the status display unit 2404 repeats the index display of the V-shaped scale 2444 and the index display of the heaven-shaped scale 2467.

  On the other hand, when the second win, the third win, or the fourth win is generated under the second chance time change state, the second special game is generated. maintain. And after the end of the second special game, if the state of the pachinko machine 1 is the second win, it will be in the probable second short time state, and if it is the third win, it will be in the non-probable second short time state, Although the time is short, the remaining number of short-time games that can be digested is still large, so the state display unit 2404 maintains the indicator display of the heavenly scale 2467. In the case of the fourth winning, since the state does not change and the probability change second short time state remains, the state display unit 2404 maintains the indicator display of the heavenly scale 2467.

  When the game progresses under the probabilistic second short-time state or the non-probable second short-time state, the short-time game is digested and the remaining number of short-time games reaches the countdown start number by the scale unit 2453, the state display unit 2404 The position indicated by the pointer 2454 is shifted to the position indicating the scale portion 2453 that starts the countdown. Further, the heaven-shaped scale 2467 is turned off, and all the scale portions 2453 are turned on. The state of the state display unit 2404 is a state in which the scale unit 2453 starts counting down the remaining number of short-time games. Each time a short game is digested, the position indicated by the pointer 2454 moves one by one to the adjacent scale portion 2453 on the opposite side of the heaven-shaped scale 2467, and the scale portion 2453 It goes out one by one. The state of the state display unit 2404 is a state in which the countdown of the short-time game proceeds. When the position indicated by the pointer 2454 shifts to the last scale portion 2453 and only the last scale portion 2453 is lit, when the last short-time game is digested, the short-time game ends, and the status display unit 2404 Is in the initial state.

[5. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the movable accessory unit 2405 is provided with the notch-shaped opening 2507 on the upper surface of the housing 2500 of the symbol display device 2407, and the symbol display device 2407. Since the lower part of the movable decorative portion 2480 that moves toward the center is inserted into the housing 2500 through the opening 2507, the accessory device 2406 and the symbol display device 2407 can be arranged adjacent to each other. That is, since the space necessary for moving the movable decorative portion 2480 is secured in the symbol display device 2407, the symbol display device 2407 and the accessory device 2406 can be easily arranged in a limited space.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the symbol display device 2407 projects light from the light emitting substrate 2506 disposed behind the two-color sheet 2505 disposed on the surface side of the housing 2500. Thus, in order to display the design, the movable decorative portion 2480 can be accommodated behind the dichroic sheet 2505 by configuring so that the light projected from the light emitting substrate 2506 is not blocked by the movable decorative portion 2480. it can. In particular, the light emitting substrate 2506 is provided with a notch 2508 for securing the accommodation space S of the movable decorative portion 2480. The space on the side communicates, and a large space for accommodating the movable decorative portion 2480 can be secured. At this time, since the light emitting diode is not disposed after the movable decorative portion 2480, the light amount toward the two-color sheet 2505 can be made constant regardless of the movable position of the movable decorative portion 2480. The display state of can be stabilized.

  In particular, the two-color sheet 2505 of this example includes a first transmission unit that transmits only red light projected from the light emitting substrate 2506 and a second transmission unit that transmits only blue light. The mechanism for changing the design is extremely simple, and as a result, the space S in which the movable decorative portion 2480 is accommodated can be secured in the housing 2500 relatively easily.

  Further, since the two-color sheet 2505 has two transmission means (first transmission means and second transmission means) arranged side by side on the same surface, that is, on a single member, the thickness is made thin and compact. The arrangement space of the movable decorative portion 2480 can be further increased. In addition, since two transmission means are formed on the same surface, a decrease in transmittance can be reduced, and a clear display can be performed even in a portion facing the notch 2508. Furthermore, since the overlapping part of the first transmission means and the second transmission means is configured so that red and blue light can be transmitted, the overlapping part does not lose its color, and various designs can be obtained with desired colors and colors. It is possible to display in a desired form, and as a result, two types of symbols can be easily distinguished.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the rear side of the housing 2500 and the substrate base 2504 is covered by the back surface of the center base plate 2401, but notches formed on the back surface, particularly the light emitting substrate 2506. Since the rear side opening 2401g which is substantially the same shape as the notch 2508 and communicates with the opening 2507 of the housing 2500 is formed in the portion located behind the portion 2508, the accessory device 2406 is provided. When assembled, the movable decorative portion 2480 can be inserted into the housing 2500 through the back side opening 2401g while assembling the accessory device 2406 to the center base plate 2401 from behind. Therefore, even when the movable decorative portion 2480 is always housed in the housing 2500, it can be easily assembled. In addition, since the rear of the notch 2508 is opened, the arrangement space of the movable decorative portion 2480 can be further expanded.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the accessory device 2406, the lower end of the guide decoration 2483 serving as the background of the movable decorative portion 2480 extends to the symbol display device 2407 side, and the extended portion 2483b backs the back. Since the side opening 2401g is closed, the attachment position of the accessory device 2406 can be accurately adjusted with respect to the symbol display device 2407. As a result, the movable decorative portion 2480 is brought into contact with the light emitting substrate 2489 and the like in the housing 2500. It can be accommodated without making it. In addition, since a light reflecting surface is formed on the front surface of the guide decoration 2483, the rear of the cutout portion 2508 of the light emitting substrate 2506 (that is, the portion where the light emitting diode is not disposed) can be illuminated, thereby forming the cutout portion 2508. It is possible to compensate for the decrease in the amount of light due to the above. Further, since the light reflecting surface is formed in an uneven shape, the light projected from the light emitting substrate 2506 can be irregularly reflected, and as a result, the entire reflecting surface can be uniformly illuminated.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, a relatively large gap of 15 mm or more is provided between the two-color sheet 2505 and the light emitting substrate 2506, so that the light projected from the light emitting substrate 2506 Can be diffused in the housing 2500 before irradiating the two-color sheet 2505, and light can be irradiated to a portion facing the notch 2508. In addition, since the gap between the two-color sheet 2505 and the light emitting substrate 2506 is 20 mm or less, attenuation of light due to an increase in the gap can be suppressed as much as possible.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the insertion portion of the movable decorative portion 2480 inserted into the housing 2500 is substantially round bar-shaped, and the front half of the two-color sheet 2505 and the light emitting substrate 2506 Since the light is radiated from the light emitting substrate 2506 is blocked by the movable decorative portion 2480 (the shadow of the movable decorative portion 2480 is generated) as much as possible. Therefore, even when the notch 2508 is relatively large, the diffused light can be sufficiently irradiated to the two-color sheet 2505 facing the notch 2508.

The surface of the decorative portion 2480 can be illuminated, and the amount of light emitted to the two-color sheet 2505 facing the notch 2508 can be increased.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the light emitting substrate 2506, the arrangement of the light emitting diodes is dense in the peripheral area of the notch 2508 and sparse in other areas, so that it faces the notch 2508. The amount of light is increased with respect to the two-color sheet 2505, and as a result, the entire two-color sheet 2505 can be illuminated uniformly.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, since a part of the movable decorative portion 2480 is always housed in the housing 2500, the relationship between the movable decorative portion 2480 and the symbol display device 2407 is obtained. And the player can be more aware of the operation of the movable decorative portion 2480 and the display of the symbols on the symbol display device 2407. In particular, since the front sides of the symbol display device 2407 and the accessory device 2406 are integrally surrounded by the decorative frame 2408, the sense of unity between the symbol display device 2407 and the accessory device 2406 can be further enhanced.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the casing 2500 of the symbol display device 2407 has a shape imitating the main body of the detonator, and the movable decorative portion 2480 has a shape imitating the lever of the detonator. The sense of unity between the symbol display device 2407 and the accessory device 2406 is enhanced from the stage before the symbol is displayed on the symbol display device 2407 or before the movable decorative portion 2480 is moved, and an integrated effect is obtained by combining them. Can interest you. In particular, the movable decorative portion 2480, which is a lever of the detonator, is moved with respect to the housing 2500 of the symbol display device 2407, which is the main body of the detonator, so that the bomb is exploded by pushing the lever. A powerful performance can be performed.
