Description

The gaming machine of the present invention includes a light-emitting unit for production, a light-emitting unit for game state notification, a light-emitting unit for variation symbol identification , and each of the effect , the game state notification, and the variation symbol identification A light emission control unit that controls light emission of the light emitting unit, and the light emission control unit performs a determination process for determining a light emission effect at an appropriate timing, creates light emission drive information, and uses the light emission drive information as light emission drive data. A creation effect stored in the storage unit and an output process of outputting a drive signal based on the light emission drive information stored in the light emission drive data storage unit are configured to realize a light emission effect by performing at predetermined intervals. The In the creation process, in the state in which the light emission effect determined in the determination process is executed, the effect light emission drive information for the effect light emitting unit is created based on the lamp data corresponding to the effect to be executed , and the game state is set. In response, the game state notification light emission drive information for the light emission unit for notification of the game state is created, and the variation symbol identification light emission drive information for the light emission unit for variation symbol identification is created according to the symbol variation state, The light emission drive information for one timing in the predetermined period is obtained by combining the light emission drive information for game use, the light emission drive information for game state notification, and the light emission drive information for variation symbol identification .
Thereby, the light emission drive control of each of the light emitting unit for performance and the light emitting unit for notifying the game state can be executed collectively.
In the above gaming machine, in the creation process, after generating the light emission drive information for presentation of a predetermined size for one timing, the light emission drive information for gaming state notification and the light emission drive information for variation symbol identification are created. It is conceivable to generate light emission drive information of a predetermined size for one timing by rewriting a specific data area in the light emission drive information for presentation with the light emission drive information for gaming state notification and the light emission drive information for variation symbol identification. It is done.
That is, a specific data area is prepared, and light emission drive information that combines the effect and the game state notification is generated only by updating a part of the light emission drive information for the effect to the light emission drive information for the game state notification.
In the above gaming machine, the ramp data is set so that dummy data is arranged in the specific data area of the light emission drive information for presentation. In the creation process, It is conceivable to rewrite the dummy data in the specific data area to the gaming state notification light emission driving information and the variation symbol identification light emission driving information .
By arranging dummy data in the specific data area, it is possible to synthesize light emission driving information for gaming state notification without affecting light emission control for performance.
In the gaming machine described above, based on the drive signal output in the output process, one or a plurality of light-emitting drivers that supply a light-emitting drive current to the light-emitting unit for production and the light-emitting unit for notifying the game state , One or a plurality of specific light-emitting drivers are connected to a plurality of light-emitting units so as to supply a light-emission driving current to both the light-emitting unit for performance and the light-emitting unit for notifying the game state. It is conceivable that the light emission drive information based on the drive signal output to the specific light emission driver includes the effect light emission drive information and the gaming state notification light emission drive information.
As a result, it is not necessary to separate the light emitting drivers for performance and game state notification, and an efficient circuit configuration is possible.

The motor driver unit 70 which is a drive signal output means of the third lines, p-number of the motor driver 90 M is connected in parallel to the serial data output channel ch3 of the effect control CPU 200.
Similarly, the signal line of the serial data output channel ch3 supplies a reset signal line for supplying a reset signal RESET, a clock line for supplying a clock signal CLK, a data line for supplying serial data DATA as motor drive data, and an enable signal ENABLE. An enable signal line is provided. Each of these signal lines is connected so as to supply each signal in parallel to p motor drivers 90M constituting the motor driver unit 70.
In each motor driver 90M of the motor driver unit 70, a device ID (identifier of each motor driver 90M) used as a slave address by the effect control CPU 200 is set. For the sake of explanation, the device ID (slave address) of each motor driver 90M is described as mt1 to mt (p) as shown in the figure.

The LED driver 90 with the slave address “b2” drives the symbol identifying light emitting unit 20Z and the holding number display light emitting unit 20H in addition to the effect light emitting unit 20b. For example, the slave address “b3” has the slave address “b3”. The LED driver 90 drives the gaming state notification light emitting unit 20J in addition to the effect light emitting unit 20b.
Although illustration is omitted, the LED driver 90 has three current terminals 96-1 to 96-3 corresponding to the light emitting units 20 J-1 to 20 J-3 as the gaming state notification light emitting unit 20 J. The LEDs 120 are connected one by one.
That is, for example, the LED 120 functioning as the light emitting unit 20J-1 and the resistor R are connected in series to the current terminal 96-1, and the other end of the resistor R is connected to the first power supply voltage VCC1.
For example, the LED 120 functioning as the light emitting unit 20J-2 and a resistor R are connected in series to the current terminal 96-2, and the other end of the resistor R is connected to the first power supply voltage VCC1.
For example, the LED 120 functioning as the light emitting unit 20J-3 and a resistor R are connected in series to the current terminal 96-31, and the other end of the resistor R is connected to the first power supply voltage VCC1.
Further, all or a part of the current terminal 96-4～96-24 the LED driver 90 in the slave address "b3", a plurality of LED120 and the resistor R which functions as their respective Starring exits light emitting portion 20b in series Connected and driven by the second power supply voltage VCC2.
In this way, the LED driver 90 with the slave address “b3” also takes measures against heat and prevents the peripheral circuits from becoming complicated.

In step S61, the main control CPU 100 performs a right-handed notification information management process. In this right-handed notification information management process, for example, a right-handed instruction is given in situations where right-handed is advantageous, such as when the first and second big prize winning holes 45a and 46a are opened or when the movable blade piece 42b is driven. A process for making a “launch position guidance effect (right-handed notification effect)” for performing the notification appears. The right-handed instruction, specifically, a demonstration operation for instructing targeting the right game area 3c in closed skill person, to display an image prompting the "right-handed" to the player on the liquid crystal display device 32 For example Or a right-handed message sound is generated from the speaker 25.
When a right-handed notification effect is performed, in this right-handed notification information management process, a “right-handed instruction command” instructing execution of a right-handed notification effect is transmitted to the effect control unit 51 as an effect control command. Then, the production control unit 51 performs execution control of right-handed notification using an image or sound.
In step S62, the main control CPU 100 performs LED management processing. This LED management process is a process of outputting display data for normal symbol display and first and second special symbol displays to the symbol display unit 33. By this processing, normal symbol and special symbol change display and stop display are performed. The normal symbol display data created in the normal symbol management process in step S57 and the special symbol display data created in the special symbol display data update process in the special symbol management process in step S59 are the LED management process. Is output.

In this case, although not to set the tone value of the light-emitting portion 20 Z -1,20 Z -2,20 Z -3 for variation pattern discrimination, if for each to turn "Fh: (= 1111 ) ”And“ 0h (= 0000) ”when the light is off. In the case of blinking, “Fh” and “0h” are alternately set at every predetermined timing. Therefore, if the symbol variation flag indicates blinking, is this time set to “Fh”? , “0h” is managed separately.
And each "0h" or "Fh" and has been tone values for the three light-emitting portion 20 Z -1,20 Z -2,20 Z -3 to (4 × 3 bits), on the output data buffer, area Expands to 4 × 3 bits in the latter half of DBzh. At this time, when the light is on (“Fh”), OR expansion is performed, and when the light is off (“0h”), AND expansion is performed. Since the dummy data is all zero data, whereby each tone value of the light-emitting portion 20 Z -1,20 Z -2,20 Z -3 is reflected in the LED driving data on the output data buffer.
In the case the dummy data as in this example is "0h", in either case the gradation values of the light-emitting portion 20 Z -1,20 Z -2,20 Z -3 is the "0h" and "Fh" Even in this case, OR expansion may be performed on the region DBzh.
However, in the case of OR expansion, when the dummy data (“0h”) is rewritten to some value due to noise or the like, the indefinite data is output. On the other hand, if the light is extinguished ("0h") and AND expansion is performed as described above, the value is "0h" when the light is off ("0h") regardless of the value of the dummy data. it can. In other words, when the light is on (“Fh”), OR expansion is performed, and when the light is off (“0h”), AND expansion is performed, so that the light emitting units 20 Z −1 and 20 Z − LED drive data that correctly reflects each gradation value for 2,20 Z −3 can be generated on the output data buffer.

Subsequently, the production control CPU 200 checks the number of holds in step S734. This FIG. 17A, as described with reference to FIG. 17B, the effect control CPU200 is sequentially updated pending addition command from Omosei your C PU 100, a first number of holding in accordance with the pending subtraction command, a second number of pending doing. Step S734 first number of holding of the second check the number of holding, in step S735 in accordance with these values, corresponding to the current terminal 96-1～96-8 slave address "b2" (4 × 8 ) Set the bit emission drive data. Then, in step S736, this is expanded into the corresponding area on the output data buffer (that is, the 4 × 8 bits in the first half of the area DBzh).
