  However, when a vibration that causes the player to feel a big hit or the like is generated in the dome-type operation button unit, if the vibration does not occur satisfactorily, there is a problem that it is difficult to give the player a big hit or the like.

  In view of the above, the present invention provides a gaming machine including an effect operation device that causes a vibration to be generated satisfactorily to an operation button so that a player can feel a big hit or the like. Objective.

  In solving the above-mentioned problems, a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a production operation device (BG) and a rotation means (RM) according to the description of claim 1.

In the game machine,
The rotating means includes a rotating shaft (161), a rotating body (RD) supported by the rotating shaft, and a support member (150b) provided to rotatably support the rotating body. The body is informed of the degree of expectation of the production mode with the pattern on the surface,
The production operation device
A base (140a);
An operation button (140c) supported by the base so as to be slidable;
A vibration plate (200d) provided to transmit vibration to the operation button;
Left and right elastic spacer members (220c, 220d) provided on the left and right sides of the center line so as to be able to contact the vibration plate and the base on the normal line (P) to the center line (Q) along the surface of the vibration plate. )When,
Vibration generating means (VM) provided to generate vibration on the vibration plate,
The vibration generating means includes a motor body (214) and a motor (200f) having an output shaft (215) extending coaxially from the motor body, and an eccentric body (200g) supported by the output shaft of the motor. And
In the rotating means,
The rotating body is designed to rotate at two different rotational speeds.
The rotational speed of the rotating body is a low rotational speed of the two types of rotational speeds when the rotational aspect of the rotational body is a low-expected stage in a single symbol variation, and this increases the expectation level of the rendering aspect. Along with the above two types of rotation speeds, it changes to a higher rotation speed,
In the vibration generating means, the motor is supported by the vibration plate so as to be shifted from the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members in the motor body.
When the big hit, the vibration of the vibration plate is generated, or the rotational speed of the rotating body is the high rotational speed.

  According to this, the rotating means rotates at the lower rotation speed of the two types of rotation speeds when the effect mode of the rotating object is an effect mode with a low expectation in one symbol variation. As the degree of expectation of the aspect increases, the rotational speed changes to a higher rotational speed of the two rotational speeds.

  Therefore, when the rotational speed of the rotating body changes to a high rotational speed in one symbol variation, the player's game mode, for example, expects a big hit because the rotating body's performance mode rises from the low-expected performance mode. You can feel the above interest.

  Further, the vibration generating means rotates eccentrically with the rotation of the motor by the eccentric body, so that the vibration can be transmitted to the operation button via the output shaft, the motor main body, and the left and right elastic spacer members. When the vibration is generated, the vibration is transmitted to the operation button by the vibration plate.

  Here, in the vibration generating means, the motor is supported by the vibration plate so as to be shifted from the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members in the motor body. As a result, the vibration plate not only vibrates in the thickness direction according to the elastic deformation accompanying the vibration of the left and right elastic spacer members, but also according to the deviation from the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members of the motor body. Therefore, it can vibrate like a seesaw with the center line as a reference.

  Therefore, the operation button vibrates in response to the elastic deformation of the left and right elastic spacer members and the seesaw vibration corresponding to the deviation from the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members of the motor body. When the operation button is touched with the hand, it is possible to expect gaming entertainment such as detecting reach of the operation button as described above and expecting a reach or a big hit.

  Further, as described above, when the big hit, the vibration of the vibration plate is generated, or the rotational speed of the rotating body is high. Therefore, when the vibration of the vibration plate occurs or the rotation speed of the rotating body reaches a high rotation speed, the player can feel an interest such as expecting a big hit in the game.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the gaming machine includes an effect operating device (BG) and a rotating means (RM).

In the game machine,
The rotating means includes a rotating shaft (161), a rotating body (RD) supported by the rotating shaft, and a support member (150b) provided to rotatably support the rotating body. The body is informed of the degree of expectation of the production mode with the pattern on the surface,
The production operation device
A base (140a);
An operation button (140c) supported by the base so as to be slidable;
A vibration plate (200d) provided to transmit vibration to the operation button;
Left and right elastic spacer members (220c, 220d) provided on the left and right sides of the center line so as to be able to contact the vibration plate and the base on the normal line (P) to the center line (Q) along the surface of the vibration plate. )When,
Vibration generating means (VM) provided to generate vibration on the vibration plate,
The vibration generating means includes a motor body (214) and a motor (200f) having an output shaft (215) extending coaxially from the motor body, and an eccentric body (200g) supported by the output shaft of the motor. And
In the rotating means,
The rotating body is designed to rotate at two different rotational speeds.
The rotational speed of the rotating body is a low rotational speed of the two types of rotational speeds when the rotational aspect of the rotational body is a low-expected stage in a single symbol variation, and this increases the expectation level of the rendering aspect. Along with the above two types of rotation speeds, it changes to a higher rotation speed,
In the vibration generating means, the motor is supported by the vibration plate in the motor body so as to position the eccentric body out of the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members,
When the big hit, the vibration of the vibration plate is generated, or the rotational speed of the rotating body is the high rotational speed.

  According to this, the rotating means rotates at the lower rotation speed of the two types of rotation speeds when the effect mode of the rotating object is an effect mode with a low expectation in one symbol variation. As the degree of expectation of the aspect increases, the rotational speed changes to a higher rotational speed of the two rotational speeds.

  Therefore, when the rotational speed of the rotating body changes to a high rotational speed in one symbol variation, the player's game mode, for example, expects a big hit because the rotating body's performance mode rises from the low-expected performance mode. You can feel the above interest.

  Further, the vibration generating means is an eccentric body that is capable of transmitting vibration to the operation button via the output shaft, the motor main body and the left and right elastic spacer members by rotating eccentrically with the rotation of the motor. When the vibration is generated, the vibration is transmitted to the operation button by the vibration plate.

  Here, in the vibration generating means, the motor is supported on the vibration plate by the motor body so that the eccentric body is positioned out of the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members. As a result, the vibration plate not only vibrates in the thickness direction according to the elastic deformation accompanying the vibration of the left and right elastic spacer members, but also according to the deviation from the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members of the eccentric body. Therefore, it can vibrate like a seesaw with the center line as a reference.

  Therefore, the operation button vibrates in response to the elastic deformation of the left and right elastic spacer members and the seesaw-like vibration corresponding to the deviation from the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members of the eccentric body. When the operation button is touched with the hand, it is possible to expect gaming entertainment such as detecting reach of the operation button as described above and expecting a reach or a big hit.

  Here, as described above, when the big hit, the vibration of the vibration plate is generated, or the rotation speed of the rotating body is set to a high rotation speed. Therefore, when the vibration of the vibration plate occurs or the rotation speed of the rotating body reaches a high rotation speed, the player can feel an interest such as expecting a big hit in the game.

  According to the present invention, when the rotation speed of the rotating body of the rotating means changes to a high rotation speed in one pattern variation, the effect mode of the rotating body rises from an effect mode with low expectation, For example, the player can feel an interest in gaming such as expecting a big hit.

  Further, the vibration generating means rotates eccentrically with the rotation of the motor by the eccentric body, so that the vibration can be transmitted to the operation button via the output shaft, the motor main body, and the left and right elastic spacer members. When the vibration is generated, the vibration is transmitted to the operation button by the vibration plate.

  Here, in the vibration generating means, the motor is supported by the vibration plate such that the motor is positioned so as to be shifted from the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members. As a result, the vibration plate not only vibrates in the thickness direction according to the elastic deformation accompanying the vibration of the left and right elastic spacer members, but also according to the deviation from the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members of the motor body. Therefore, it can vibrate like a seesaw with the center line as a reference.

  Therefore, the operation button vibrates in response to the elastic deformation of the left and right elastic spacer members and the seesaw vibration corresponding to the deviation from the straight line connecting the left and right elastic spacer members of the motor body. When the operation button is touched with the hand, it is possible to expect gaming entertainment such as detecting reach of the operation button as described above and expecting a reach or a big hit.

  Further, as described above, when the big hit, the vibration of the vibration plate is generated, or the rotational speed of the rotating body is high. Therefore, when the vibration of the vibration plate occurs or the rotation speed of the rotating body reaches a high rotation speed, the player can feel an interest such as expecting a big hit in the game.

The left middle through hole 212 is formed in the vibration plate 200d at the center position (position on the left-right direction center line P) between the left front through hole 210 and the left rear through hole 211. Has been. Further, the right middle side through-hole portion 212 has a vibration plate 200d at a central position (a position on the left-right direction center line P) between the right front side through hole portion 210 and the right rear side through hole portion 211. Is formed.

  Here, the left and right middle through-holes 212 are formed narrow in the front-rear direction and long in the left-right direction.

  In the first embodiment, the vibration plate 200d forms an opening 213 at a portion corresponding to the step motor 200a of the vertical drive mechanism DMV, as illustrated in any of FIGS. 6, 7, and 11. Thus, a cylindrical wall 146e (described later) of the button base 140a extends downward through the opening 213. Accordingly, the step motor 200a that is displaced downward as the support member 140b is displaced downward can enter the cylindrical wall 146e. The cylindrical wall 146e extends from the corresponding portion of the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a with respect to the step motor 200a into the opening 213 of the vibration plate 200d.

  The vibration plate 200d configured as described above is assembled to the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a as follows.

  In other words, the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c overlap the left middle through-holes 212 from both sides so as to sandwich the left middle through-holes 212 (see FIG. 6) of the vibration plate 200d. Are arranged. On the other hand, the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d are disposed on both sides of the right middle through-holes 212 so as to sandwich the right middle through-holes 212 of the vibration plate 200d. (See FIG. 9).

  In the first embodiment, the vibration plate 200d is expanded and contracted in the thickness direction (vertical direction) with the annular spacers 220c and 220d extending and contracting with respect to the position of the horizontal center line P (see FIG. 7). It is formed of a rubber material having a predetermined elasticity at a predetermined thickness so that it can vibrate.

  The upper and lower left annular spacers 220c have an outer diameter that is larger than the width of the left middle through-hole elongated hole 212 and smaller than the length of the left middle through-hole elongated hole 212. The outer diameter is larger than the width of the right middle penetrating elongated hole portion 212 and smaller than the length of the right middle penetrating elongated hole portion 212.

  The left and right side covers 220a and 220b are each formed of a metal material with a disk-shaped wall portion 221 and an annular wall portion 222 extending in an annular shape from the outer peripheral portion of the disk-shaped wall portion 221. .

  As illustrated in FIG. 9, the left cover 220 a is covered from the lower side annular spacer 220 c of the upper and lower left annular spacers 220 c from below the annular wall portion 222, and the right cover 220 b has an opening end thereof. From above, the lower right annular spacer 220d of the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d is covered from below. Accordingly, the left cover 220a abuts the lower left annular spacer 220c from below at the disk-shaped wall portion 221, and the right cover 220b is lowered at the lower right annular spacer at the disk-shaped wall portion 221. It contacts 220d from below.

  Here, the depths of the left and right side covers 220a and 220b (the length of the annular wall 222 extending from the inner surface of the disk-shaped wall 221) are set shallower than the thickness of the annular spacers 220c and 220d. . Accordingly, the left and right side covers 220a and 220b are maintained so as to be positioned away from the lower surface of the vibration plate 200d at their opening ends, thereby facilitating vibration of the vibration plate 200d. .

  Thus, in the state where the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c, the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d and the left and right side covers 220a and 220b are disposed on the vibration plate 200d, the left screw 230a of the left and right side screws 230a and 230b is replaced by the left cover 220a. Are inserted into the central hole formed in the disk-shaped wall portion 221, the hollow portion of the lower left annular spacer 220 c, the left middle through-hole portion 212 of the vibration plate 200 d, and the hollow portion of the upper left annular spacer 220 c. Then, the button base 140a is fastened to the inclined upper wall 146a. Further, the right screw 230b has a central hole formed in the disc-shaped wall portion 221 of the right cover 220b, the hollow portion of the lower right annular spacer 220d, the right middle through-hole portion 212 of the vibration plate 200d, and The upper right annular spacer 220d is inserted into the hollow portion and fastened to the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a.

  Thereby, the vibration plate 200d is assembled to the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a so that it can vibrate in the thickness direction with reference to the center line P in the left-right direction. It should be noted that the right and left screws 230a and 230b are fastened to the inclined upper wall 146a so that the annular spacers 220c and 220d can maintain the elasticity and fastening thickness to the extent that the vibration plate 200d can vibrate. It will be tightened.

  The vibration mechanism VM further includes a support wall 200e, a vibration motor 200f, and an eccentric body 200g, as shown in any of FIGS. 6, 7, and 9 to 11.

  The support wall 200e is formed by cutting and raising a rear portion of the opening 213 in the vibration plate 200d in a rectangular shape downward and in an L shape to the front side. The vibration motor 200f is assembled to the support wall 200e from the rear side. The vibration motor 200f includes a motor main body 214 and a rotating shaft 215 that extends coaxially from the rotor in the stator of the motor main body 214. (See FIG. 7). The rotor is coaxially supported by a rotating shaft 215, and the rotor is positioned in the stator and rotatably supported at both axial end portions of the stator by the rotating shaft.

  Thus, the vibration motor 200f extends the rotation shaft 215 through the through hole formed in the support wall 200e so as to be rotatable from the rear side, and the motor main body 214 to the support wall 200e on the rear side. It is assembled | attached to the support wall 200e by supporting from.

  The eccentric body 200g is plate-shaped, and the eccentric body 200g is coaxially supported by the eccentric shaft hole portion on the extending end portion of the rotation shaft 215 of the vibration motor 200f. Here, the support position of the eccentric body 200g with respect to the rotating shaft 215 is selected so as to ensure smooth rotation of the vibration motor 200f.

  In the first embodiment, the eccentric body 200g is made of a metal material and has a predetermined shape so as to vibrate the vibration motor 200f so as to cause the vibration plate 200d to generate vibration suitable for causing the operation button 140c to vibrate satisfactorily. The weight and the eccentric shape are formed.

  Accordingly, the eccentric body 200g rotates while being eccentric in the radial direction of the rotation shaft 215 of the vibration motor 200f as the vibration motor 200f rotates. This is because the vibration motor 200f vibrates so as to decenter the motor body 214 based on the eccentricity of the rotating shaft 215 in the eccentric direction of the eccentric body 200g, and the upper and lower left and right annular spacers 220c and the upper and lower right annular spacers accompanying the vibration. This means that the vibration plate 200d is vibrated in the thickness direction through the support wall 200e cut and raised by the vibration plate as described above under the expansion and contraction action of 220d. Here, the vibration motor 200f is supported by the support wall 200e behind the horizontal center line P by the motor body 214 so that the output shaft 215 is directed to the center of the horizontal center line P. Therefore, when the eccentric body 200g is in the thickness direction of the vibration plate 200d, the vibration plate 200d is likely to vibrate in a seesaw manner with respect to the center line P in the left-right direction.

  In the first embodiment configured as described above, the button-type effect operating device BG is fitted in the concave cutout portion of the protruding portion 90a of the front frame 90 of the front door D, and the effect operating device BG. Includes a housing 130, a button mechanism 140, and a rotation mechanism RM.

  Here, the support member 140b is supported by the button base 140a via the left and right front coil springs 140d and the left and right rear coil springs 140e so that the support member 140b can be displaced in the axial direction by the left and right front bosses 142 and the left and right rear bosses 143. ing.

  The rotation mechanism RM is supported by the support member 140b in the operation button 140c made of a transparent cylinder of the button mechanism 140. Here, the rotating body RD of the rotating mechanism RM is rotatably supported by the casing 154 of the L-shaped base BD on the rotating shaft 161. Thereby, when the rotary body RD is supported by the casing 154 so that the circumferential wall 160a of the rotary body RD is positioned so as to be able to face forward on the outer peripheral surface thereof, the rotary body RD is attached to the rotary shaft 161. Facing the width direction (left-right direction) of the front door D. Further, when the rotating body RD is supported by the casing 154 so that the front lid wall 160b of the rotating body RD is positioned so as to be able to face forward in front of the rotating body RD, the rotating body RD is supported by the rotating shaft 161. The front door D faces in the front-rear width direction.

  Further, the reflecting plate 170a is formed as a mirror surface capable of projecting the rotating body RD as a virtual image on the upper surface 171 facing the rotating body RD.

  Therefore, even if the rotating body RD is positioned so as to face forward on either the outer peripheral surface of the circumferential wall 160a or the front lid wall 160b, the rotating body RD is projected onto the mirror surface 171 of the reflecting plate 170a. Thus, the player visually recognizes the rotating body RD as a real image and visually recognizes it as a virtual image on the mirror surface 171. Here, the virtual image of the rotator RD can be visually recognized so as to be in a symmetrical position with respect to the mirror surface 171 with respect to the rotator RD as a real image. This means that the rotating body RD as a virtual image is visually recognized as being at a position having a depth relative to the rotating body RD as a real image.

  Further, when the rotating body RD is positioned so as to face forward on the outer peripheral surface of the circumferential wall 160 a, the rotating body RD is L so that the rotating shaft 161 faces the width direction of the front door D. When the first stepping motor 180a is rotated and driven by the rotation of the first step motor 180a while being supported by the character-shaped base BD, the circumferential wall 160a causes the big hit, reach or disengagement to be directed diagonally upward and forward. Show. This means that the circumferential wall 160a exhibits a first stage effect mode as the rotator RD.

  Further, when the rotating body RD is positioned so as to face forward on the front surface of the front lid wall 160b, the rotating body RD is arranged so that the rotating shaft 161 faces the front door D in the front-rear direction. After being rotated by the second step motor 200a together with the character-shaped base BD, the rotating body RD is driven by the rotation of the first step motor 180a and stops when the front lid wall 160b hits the jackpot. , Reach or release effect mode is shown diagonally upward front. This means that the front lid wall 160b exhibits the second stage effect mode as the rotator RD.

  As described later, the rotating body RD can provide the player with a preliminary announcement for the jackpot lottery result in two stages as will be described later.

  Therefore, when the player visually recognizes the rendering operation device BG, both the rotating body RD as a real image and the rotating body RD as a virtual image reflected on the mirror surface 171 produce an effect such as a novel interest in the appearance of the rotating body RD. The effect can be expected.

  The operation button 140c is formed of a transparent cylinder. Therefore, when the player can visually recognize the effect operating device BG from the front, the rotating body RD and the reflecting plate 170a can be visually recognized through the button 140c. Therefore, the player can play the game while visually recognizing both the rotating body RD as a real image and the virtual image reflected on the mirror surface 171 of the reflecting plate 170a through the button 140c.

  The effect button sensor 140f is disposed in the front region in the lower end opening 144 of the operation button 140c on the lower side of the front portion of the support plate 141 corresponding to the front portion of the reflecting plate 170a. Even if disturbing light enters the button-type effect operating device BG obliquely downward from the front side, the disturbing light is reflected on the mirror surface 171 by the reflecting plate 170a.

  Here, since the support plate 141 is positioned below the front portion of the reflector plate 170a at the front portion thereof, the disturbance light is reflected by the reflector plate 170a at the front portion of the mirror surface 171. For this reason, the disturbance light does not enter the effect button sensor 140 f located below the front portion of the support plate 141.

  Thereby, for example, in the effect button sensor 140f, when the plate-shaped light shielding piece 148b enters between the light emitting element 147b and the light receiving element 147c of the sensor main body 147, disturbance light incident on the effect button sensor 140f is received by the light receiving element 157c. If the plate-shaped light-shielding piece 148b blocks the light from the light-emitting element 147b to the light-receiving element 147c, the effect button sensor 140f receives the disturbance light by the light-receiving element 147b and receives the plate-shaped light-shielding piece 148b. Even though the light from the light emitting element 147b to the light receiving element 147c is blocked, the light is not blocked and the operation button 140c is not displaced downward. . This means that the effect button sensor 140f can always normally detect and detect the downward displacement of the operation button 140c without erroneous detection due to incidence of disturbance light.

  In addition, since the effect button sensor 140f is supported on the lower side of the front portion of the support plate 141, various parts, in the region other than the region occupied by the effect button sensor 140f in the lower region of the support plate 141, For example, a vibration mechanism VM can be provided.

  In the vibration mechanism VM, the vibration plate 200d vibrates based on the eccentricity of the eccentric body 200g accompanying the rotation of the vibration motor 200f. Here, the vibration motor 200f vibrates so as to decenter the motor body 214 based on the eccentricity of the rotating shaft 215 in the eccentric direction of the eccentric body 200g, and the upper and lower left and right annular spacers 220c and 220d are accompanied by the vibration. This means that the vibration plate 200d is vibrated in the thickness direction through the support wall 200e under the expansion and contraction action. Moreover, since the vibration motor 200f is assembled to the vibration plate 200d behind the center line P in the left-right direction, the vibration plate 200d has an eccentric direction of the eccentric body 200g in the thickness direction of the vibration plate 200d. When it is, it is easy to vibrate like a seesaw with respect to the center line P in the left-right direction.

  Accordingly, the vibration of the vibration plate 200d in the vibration mode as described above, the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a through the upper and lower left and right annular spacers 220c and 220d and the left and right screws 230a and 230b, The left and right front coil springs 140d, the left and right rear coil springs 140e, and the support member 140b are transmitted to the operation button 140c to vibrate the operation button 140c. For this reason, when the player touches the operation button 140c with his / her hand, the player senses the vibration of the operation button 140c corresponding to the vibration mode as described above, and expects a gaming interest such as expecting reach or a big hit. obtain.

  Moreover, in the electrical decoration mechanism IM, the electrical decoration body 190 is accommodated in the rotary body RD, and the said electrical decoration body 190 is the light emission production | presentation aspect showing the jackpot, reach, or removal by the light emission of the some light emitting diode. Therefore, a light effect is performed through the rotating body RD.

  Here, the electrical decoration body 190 includes an electrical decoration board 190d having a light emitting surface facing the front lid wall 160b of the rotating body RD, and an electrical decoration board 190e having a light emitting surface facing the circumferential wall 160a of the rotating body RD. Both are configured. Therefore, a light emission effect mode representing a big hit, reach or disengagement can be visually recognized through any of the front lid wall 160b and the circumferential wall 160a of the rotating body RD.

  Moreover, the light emission effect mode representing the jackpot described above corresponds to an effect mode with a high expectation level, and the light emission effect mode representing a loss is equivalent to an effect mode with a low level of expectation. Therefore, the light emitting diodes of the lighting board 190e emit light from the light emitting diodes of the lighting board 190d so that the low-expected stage of production is higher in the appearance rate than the high expectations of the lighting mode. Control is performed by the lamp control unit 500d so as to make more light emission.

  Moreover, each wiring L of the said electrical decoration body 190 is extended outside through the cylindrical support cylinder 190a and the guide cylinder 190b. Therefore, even if the electrical ornament 190 is accommodated in the rotating body RD, power supply and control to the electrical ornament 190 can be performed outside, which is convenient.

  Next, when the pachinko gaming machine is in an operational state in which a game can be performed by feeding power from the direct current power source DC via the power switch SW1, the main controller 300 and the sub controller 500 are in an operational state. Accordingly, main controller 300 starts execution of the main control program by CPU 310 according to the flowchart of FIG.

  Further, when the pachinko gaming machine is in an operating state as described above, the soft timer 320 (first and second soft timer units) of the main controller 300 is reset. Along with this, the first soft timer section of the soft timer 320 starts measuring time and generates a first main pulse signal every 4 (ms) after the start, and also the second soft timer of the soft timer 320. The unit starts timing and generates a second main pulse signal every 4 (ms) after the start. At this stage, the interruption of the first and second main timer interruption programs by the main controller 300 is prohibited until the clear switch SW2 is turned on as will be described later.

  As described above, when main controller 300 starts executing the main control program according to the flowchart of FIG. 26, the internal components of main controller 300 are initialized in the initialization process in step 600.

  Next, at step 610, it is determined whether or not the clear switch is on. As described above, when the clear switch SW2 of the power supply circuit PS is manually turned on at the time when the pachinko gaming machine is in an operable state by being fed from the DC power source DC via the power switch SW1, the determination in step 610 is performed. Becomes YES.

  On the other hand, if the clear switch SW2 is not turned on when the pachinko gaming machine is in an operable state as described above, NO is determined in step 610. Accordingly, interrupt prohibition processing is performed in step 611. Thereafter, the circulation process through step 600, step 610 and step 611 is repeated until the clear switch SW2 is turned on. Thus, the execution of the first and second timer interrupt programs is prohibited until the clear switch SW2 is turned on.

  In such a state, when the clear switch SW2 is turned on, it is determined as YES in Step 610. Accordingly, a RAM clear process is performed in step 612. Here, as described above, the storage data already stored in the RAM 340 of the main controller 300 is cleared immediately before the pachinko gaming machine becomes operable. Thereby, the game by the said pachinko machine which became the operation | movement ready as mentioned above can be started in the state which cleared the memory | storage data of RAM340. Therefore, in the game by the pachinko gaming machine that is in the operable state as described above, there is no inconvenience that the data stored in the RAM 340 before the above-described clearing is used.

  When the RAM clear process in step 612 is performed as described above, the RAM clear signal output process is performed in the next step 613. Here, a RAM clear signal indicating that the data stored in the RAM 340 has been cleared is output to the external terminal board 400 by the main controller 300 by the CPU 310.

  At the present stage, the external terminal board 400 is activated when the pachinko gaming machine is ready for gaming as described above, and the semiconductor switching circuit units of the semiconductor switching circuit 410 are both in a conductive state. .

  Therefore, when the RAM clear signal is output from the main controller 300 to the external terminal board 400 as described above, the RAM clear signal is sent to the connector N10 of the external terminal board 420 by the tenth semiconductor switching circuit unit of the semiconductor switching circuit 410. Is output to the hall computer HC. Thereby, it can be provided as clear information to the hall computer HC that the stored data in the RAM 340 of the main control device 300 is cleared when the pachinko gaming machine is in an operable state.

  When the processing of step 613 is performed as described above, interrupt permission processing is performed in the next step 614. Accordingly, the subsequent execution of the first and second main timer interrupt programs is permitted.

  Thereafter, it is determined in step 620 whether or not there is an error. At the present stage, since the game with the pachinko gaming machine has not yet started, there is no illegal act by the player using the magnet or the pachinko machine hitting the pachinko machine. For this reason, in step 620, the determination of NO is repeated.

  As described above, when the interrupt permission process is performed in step 614 of FIG. 26, the main controller 300 causes the CPU 310 to execute the process every time the first main pulse signal is generated from the first soft timer unit of the soft timer 320. The first main timer interrupt program is repeatedly executed according to the flowchart of FIG. 27, and the second main pulse signal is generated by the CPU 310 according to the flowchart of FIG. 28 every time the second main pulse signal is generated from the second soft timer unit of the soft timer 320. Repeat the timer interrupt program. This means that the execution of the first and second main timer interruption programs is repeated every 4 (ms) after the operation of the main controller 300 starts, and the first and second main timer interruption programs are executed. It means that the time for execution of the program is maintained for 4 (ms).

  As described above, when the pachinko gaming machine is activated, the sub-control device 500 is activated in the payout controller 500a, the system controller 500b, the image controller 500c, and the lamp controller 500d.

  Accordingly, the payout control unit 500a starts executing the payout control program, the system control unit 500b starts executing the effect control program according to the flowcharts of FIGS. 34 and 35, and the sub timer. Execution of the interrupt program is started every time the sub-pulse signal is generated, the image control unit 500c starts execution of the image display control program, and the lamp control unit 500d starts execution of the lamp control program. To do. As a result, the pachinko gaming machine is placed in a state of waiting for the start of the game by the player.

  Thus, main controller 300 starts execution of the first main timer interrupt program with the generation of the first main pulse signal from the first soft timer section of soft timer 320 by CPU 310 as described above. Then, the main control device 300 advances the first main timer interruption program to the first start winning a prize opening processing routine 700 and thereafter (see FIG. 27).

  At the present stage, there is no winning of a game ball to the start winning port of the first or second starting winning port device 30 or 40 of the gaming ball or passing of the through ball 50, so the first main timer interrupt The program proceeds to a first start winning opening processing routine 700, a second starting winning opening processing routine 800, and a gate processing routine (see FIGS. 27 and 32). In this process, NO is determined in step 710 of FIG. 29 in the first start winning opening processing routine 700, and NO is determined in step 810 in FIG. 26 in the second starting winning opening processing routine 800. In the gate processing routine 900, NO is determined in step 910 in FIG.

  When the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the special symbol processing routine 1100 of FIG. 32 as described above, in this special symbol processing routine 1100, the game by the player has not yet started and the gaming state is It is neither a big hit nor a special symbol change. Accordingly, the determinations at steps 1110 and 1120 are NO in order.

  In addition, at the present stage, the first and second special symbols of the game balls have not yet been entered into the respective start winning ports of the first starting winning port device 30 and the second starting winning port device 40. The variable holding numbers Ua and Ub (described later) remain zero. Accordingly, the determinations in steps 1130 and 1140 are also NO. Accordingly, the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the next normal symbol processing routine 1200 (see FIGS. 27 and 33).

  In this normal symbol processing routine 1200, since the normal symbol is not changing, NO is determined in step 1210. Furthermore, since there is no passage of the through gate 50 by the game ball at the present stage, the determination in step 1220 is also NO based on the fact that the gate passing number G = 0 (described later). Accordingly, at the present stage, since the game has not yet been made as described above, the first main timer interruption program performs the next big winning opening processing routine 1300, electric chew processing routine 1400, and output processing routine 1500 (FIG. 27).

  Further, the main controller 300 causes the CPU 310 to generate the second main timer interrupt program according to the flowchart of FIG. 28 in accordance with the generation of the second main pulse signal from the second soft timer section of the soft timer 320 as described above. The main control device 300 advances the second main timer interruption program to step 1600 and subsequent steps.

  At this stage, since the game by the pachinko gaming machine has not started, the player does not cheat by using the magnet, or by cheating the pachinko gaming machine. For this reason, NO is sequentially determined in steps 1600 and 1610 in FIG.

  In addition, when the sub control device 500 is in the operating state as described above, the system control unit 500b executes the effect control program in accordance with the flowcharts of FIGS. 34 and 35 and the sub timer interrupt control program. Is executed based on the generation of the sub-pulse signal in accordance with the flowcharts of FIGS.

  In this process, as described above, since the player's game by the pachinko gaming machine has not started, the output data from the main controller 300 is not output to the system control unit 500b. Therefore, the determination of NO is made at step 2000 in FIG. 34 and step 3000 in FIG.

In the state as described above, when the player receives a payout of the game ball and starts a game with the pachinko gaming machine, the pachinko gaming machine is put into the game operation mode. Hereinafter, this game operation mode will be described by dividing it into a main control device side game operation mode and a sub control device side game operation mode.
1. Main controller side game operation mode As described above, when the player starts the game, if the operation handle 110 of the pachinko gaming machine is turned, the game balls are sequentially guided by the ball launcher 20 by the guide rail 20. Is fired into the game area 11. Even in such a stage, the first main timer interruption program is repeatedly executed in the same manner as described above every time the first main pulse signal is generated from the first timer section of the soft timer 320.
(1) First Start Winning Port Processing When the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the first start winning port processing routine 700 (see FIGS. 27 and 29), the processing of the first start winning port processing routine 700 is as follows. In order to form a jackpot lottery opportunity based on the winning of a game ball to the first starting winning port of the first starting winning port device 50, the following is performed.

  As described above, when one of the game balls sequentially guided into the game area 11 wins the first start winning port of the first start winning port device 50, the winning of the game ball is detected by the first start winning port sensor S1. Is done. Along with this, the first start winning port sensor S1 generates a first start winning port detection signal.

  At this time, if the timer interruption program proceeds to step 710 of the first start port processing routine 700, the game ball is determined based on the first start winning port detection signal from the first start winning port sensor S1 in step 710. It is determined as YES as the winning to the starting winning port of the first starting winning port device 40. Thereafter, it is determined in step 720 whether Ua <4. Ua represents the number of winning game balls (hereinafter also referred to as the first winning number) to the starting winning port of the first starting winning port device 40. Further, in step 710, it is determined as NO if there is no winning of the game ball to the starting winning port of the first starting winning port device 40. The first winning number corresponds to the first special symbol variation holding number.

  At this stage, if Ua = 0, it is determined YES in step 720, and in the next step 721, the first winning number Ua is calculated based on the following equation (1).

Ua = Ua + 1 (1)
Here, as described above, since Ua = 0, the first winning number Ua is calculated and updated as Ua = 1 based on the equation (1). Specifically, at the present stage, the calculation is updated to Ua = 1 on the assumption that the special symbol variation is in the first or second special symbol variation.

  Next, in the next step 722, first winning data representing the first winning number updated in step 721 is set as output data. Note that the set refers to storage of first prize data by the RAM 340.

  After that, when the game balls guided into the game area 11 as described above further sequentially enter the start winning opening of the first start winning opening device 30, the winning of each of these game balls is sequentially made first. It is detected by the start winning prize sensor S1. Accordingly, the first start winning port sensor S1 sequentially generates a first start winning port detection signal.

  Accordingly, every time the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the first start port processing routine 700, YES is determined in step 710, YES is determined in step 720, and in step 721, based on the formula (1). An addition update process of the first winning number Ua is performed, and in step 522, each new update data in step 721 is sequentially set as each output data. In such a state, if Ua ≧ 4 is established based on the latest first winning number Ua in step 721, then, in step 720, NO is determined.

  With the completion of the first start winning opening process routine 700 as described above, the timer interruption program proceeds to the second start winning opening process routine 800 (see FIGS. 27 and 30). The processing of the second start winning opening processing routine 800 is performed as follows in order to form a jackpot lottery opportunity based on winning of a game ball to the second starting winning opening of the second start winning opening device 40. The

  As described above, when the game balls sequentially guided into the game area 11 win the second start winning port of the second start winning port device 40, the winning of the game ball is detected by the second start winning port sensor S2. . Along with this, the second start winning port sensor S2 generates a second start winning port detection signal.

  At this time, if the first main timer interruption program proceeds to step 810 of the second start winning a prize opening processing routine 800, in this step 810, the second start winning a prize opening detection signal from the second start winning a prize opening sensor S2 is detected. Based on this, it is determined as YES as the winning to the starting winning port of the second starting winning port device 40 of the game ball.

  Thereafter, it is determined in step 820 whether Ub <4. Ub represents the second number of winnings in accordance with the winning of the game ball to the starting winning port of the second starting winning port device 40. Further, in step 810, if there is no game ball winning in the starting winning port of the second starting winning port device 40, it is determined as NO. In addition, the 2nd prize number mentioned above respond | corresponds to the 2nd special symbol fluctuation reservation number.

  At this stage, if Ub = 0, YES is determined in step 820, and in the next step 821, the second winning number Ub is calculated based on the following equation (2).

Ub = Ub + 1 (2)
Here, as described above, since Ub = 0, the second winning number Ub is calculated and updated as Ub = 1 based on Expression (2). Specifically, at the present stage, the calculation is updated as Ub = 1 on the assumption that the first or second special symbol is changing.

  Next, in step 822, set processing is performed as output data for the second winning data. Accordingly, second winning data representing the second winning number Ub in step 821 is set as output data.

  Thereafter, when the game balls sequentially guided into the game area 11 as described above further sequentially enter the start winning port of the second start winning port device 40, the winning of each of these game balls is sequentially increased to the first. 2 Detected by the start winning port sensor S2. Accordingly, the second start winning opening sensor S2 sequentially generates the second start winning opening detection signal.

  Therefore, thereafter, every time the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the second start winning a prize opening processing routine 800, YES is determined in step 810, YES is determined in step 820, and equation (2) is determined in step 821. Based on this, an addition update process of the second winning number Ub is performed, and in step 822, each update data in step 821 is sequentially set as output data. In such a state, if Ub ≧ 4 is established based on the latest second winning number Ub in step 821, NO is determined in the subsequent step 820.

  The first main timer interruption program proceeds to the gate processing routine 900 (see FIGS. 27 and 31) with the end of the second start winning a prize mouth processing routine 800 as described above. The processing of the gate processing routine 900 is performed as follows in order to form a normal symbol lottery opportunity.

  In the gate processing routine 900, it is determined in step 910 whether or not the through gate is passed. At the present stage, when the game ball guided as described above passes through the through gate 50, the pass game ball is detected by the gate sensor S3. Thereby, the gate sensor S3 generates a gate passage detection signal. Therefore, in step 910, YES is determined based on the gate passage detection signal from the gate sensor S3.

  Next, in step 920, it is determined whether G <4. Here, when G <4, G represents the number of passes of the game ball with respect to the through gate 50 (number of gate passes). If G = 0 at the current stage, YES is determined in step 920. Accordingly, in the next step 921, G = 1 is added and updated based on the following equation (3). Note that the above-described gate passing number G corresponds to the normal symbol variation holding number.

G = G + 1 (3)
At this time, on the premise that the normal symbol is changing at this stage, G = 1 is added and updated. Since the normal symbol variation is reserved based on the gate passage number G, the gate passage number G corresponds to the normal symbol variation retention number.

  After the processing in step 921, in step 922, set processing is performed as output data for the second winning data. Here, the update data in step 921 is set as output data.

  Thereafter, when the game balls sequentially guided into the game area 11 as described above further pass through the through gate 50, these pass game balls are sequentially detected by the gate sensor S3. Accordingly, the gate sensor S3 sequentially generates gate passage detection signals.

Therefore, each time the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the gate processing routine 900, YES is determined in step 910 based on the gate passage detection signal sequentially generated from the gate sensor S3, and YES is determined in step 920. In step 921, the gate passing number G is added and updated based on the equation (3). In step 922, the updated data in step 921 are sequentially set as output data. In such a state, if G ≧ 4 is established based on the latest gate passage number G in step 921, NO is determined in the subsequent step 920.
(4) Prize Ball Processing Thereafter, when the timer interruption program proceeds to the next prize ball processing routine 1000 (see FIG. 27), a prize corresponding to the number of winning prizes at the start winning opening of the prize ball processing routine 140 is obtained. A command corresponding to the ball command or the number of gate passes through the through gate 50 of the game ball is set.
(5) Special symbol processing Next, when the first main timer interrupt program proceeds to the special symbol processing routine 1100 (see FIGS. 27 and 32), it is determined in step 1110 (see FIG. 32) whether or not a big hit game is being played. Is done. At the current stage, if the current gaming state is in the big winning opening open gaming state after winning the jackpot, it means that the jackpot game is in progress, so YES is determined in step 1110. For this reason, the special symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to the end step without starting display of a new special symbol variation.

  On the other hand, if the determination at step 1110 is NO at the present stage, it is determined at next step 1120 whether or not the special symbol is changing. If the variation start process in step 1180 has not been performed at this stage, since the special symbol variation is not in progress, the determination in step 1120 is NO, and in step 1130, it is determined whether Ua ≧ 1.

  Here, if the latest first winning number Ua in step 721 (see FIG. 29) of the first start winning opening processing routine 700 is Ua = 0, NO is determined in step 1130. On the other hand, if the latest first winning number Ua described above is not Ua = 0, it is determined as YES in Step 1130.

  Next, in Step 1131, the first winning number Ua is subtracted and updated based on the following equation (4).

Ua = Ua-1 (4)
Thereafter, in the next step 1140, it is determined whether Ub ≧ 1. At this stage, if Ub = 0, the determination in step 1140 is NO. That is, at this stage, since the game ball has not won the start winning port of the second start winning port device 40 during the current special symbol change, the special symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to the end step.

  When the special symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to step 1140 as described above, if the latest second winning number Ub (see step 821 in FIG. 30) is Ub ≧ 1, YES is determined in step 1140. Is done. Accordingly, in the next step 1141, the second winning number Ub is subtracted and updated based on the following equation (5).

Ub = Ub−1 (5)
When the processing of step 1141 is performed as described above, the special symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to the jackpot determination processing subroutine 1150 (see FIG. 32). Here, it is determined whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery that accompanies the winning of the game ball at the starting winning port of the first or second starting winning port device 30 or 40 is a big hit.

  Then, in the next variation pattern selection processing subroutine 1160, at least one variation pattern for jackpot, reach or deviation is selected and set.

  Here, the reach variation pattern is configured by the following five types of reach variation patterns.

A. Fluctuation pattern representing normal reach B. Fluctuation pattern representing long reach C.I. Fluctuation pattern representing first special reach D. Fluctuation pattern representing the second special reach E. Fluctuation pattern representing third special reach

Accordingly, the selection of the variation pattern for reach is selected from the above-described five types of variation patterns A to E. The five types of variation patterns A to E are stored in advance in the ROM 330 of the main controller 300 so as to be readable.

  In the next rotation pattern selection processing subroutine 1160a, rotation pattern selection processing is performed. Here, the rotation pattern represents a rotation mode of the rotating body RD, and the rotation pattern is selected from at least one of the following two types of first and second rotation patterns. Note that the two types of variation patterns F and G are stored in advance in the ROM 330 of the main controller 300 so as to be readable.

F. 1st rotation pattern showing the 1st rotation mode of rotating body RD
G. 2nd rotation pattern showing the 2nd rotation mode of rotating body RD

When the processing of the rotation pattern selection processing subroutine 1160a is completed in this way, special symbol variation start command set processing is performed in the next step 1170 (see FIG. 32). Accordingly, a special variation start command for the variation pattern selected in step 1160 is set.

  Next, in the variation start process in step 1170, the main controller 300 causes the CPU 310 to display the first special symbol display 80b or the second special symbol display so that the special symbol variation is displayed with the variation pattern selected in step 1160. Device 80c is driven. Therefore, the first special symbol display device 80b or the second special symbol display device 80c displays the special symbol variation according to the variation pattern.

  When it is assumed that a game ball is won at the start winning opening of the first start winning opening device 30, the first special symbol display device 80b displays the special symbol variation, and the second starting winning opening device 40 is displayed. In the case where it is assumed that a game ball is won at the starting winning opening, the second special symbol display device 80c displays a special symbol variation.

  After the process of step 1180, the measurement of the variation time of the variation pattern is started in the variation time measurement start process in step 1180a. Here, the time of the fluctuation time is measured by another soft timer built in the main controller 300.

  Thereafter, when the special symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to step 1120 again, if it is determined as YES, it is determined in the next step 1190 whether or not the variation time has ended. At the present stage, if the variation time started at the variation time measurement in step 1180a has not yet reached the predetermined variation time, the determination in step 1190 is NO.

  In such a state, when the special symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to step 1190 at least once thereafter, if the variation time started in step 1180a reaches the predetermined variation time, In step 1190, YES is determined. Then, in the symbol variation stop command setting process in step 1190a, the symbol variation stop command is set so as to stop the variation of the variation pattern started in step 1180. Next, in the fluctuation stop process in step 1100b, main controller 300 causes CPU 310 to stop the display of special symbol fluctuation by first special symbol display device 80b or second special symbol display device 80c described above.

After the processing of step 1190b, the predetermined variation time is reset in the variation time reset processing in step 1190c, and the special symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to the stopped processing subroutine 1190d. In this stop processing subroutine 1190d, it is determined whether the game is a win or a big win, and processing such as time reduction, probability change, and the like are performed.
(6) Normal symbol processing When the processing of the special symbol processing routine 1100 is completed as described above, the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the normal symbol processing routine 1200 (see FIGS. 27 and 33). Then, in step 1210 (see FIG. 33), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing. If the current game state is not in the normal symbol fluctuation state, after determining NO in step 1210, it is determined in step 1220 whether G ≧ 1. Here, if the latest gate passage number G in step 921 of the gate processing routine 900 (see FIG. 31) is G = 0, the determination in step 1220 is NO. Accordingly, since there is no winning for starting the lottery of the normal symbol, the normal symbol processing routine 1200 proceeds to the end step. The gate passing number G corresponds to the normal symbol variation holding number.

  On the other hand, if G ≧ 1 is established in step 1200, it is determined YES, and in step 1221, the gate passing number G is updated by subtraction by “1” based on the following equation (6).

G = G-1 (6)
Next, in step 1230, it is determined whether or not it is a hit. In other words, at this stage, if the winning lottery result of the normal symbol associated with the passing of the game ball through the through gate 50 is a win, the determination in step 1230 is YES, and the winning symbol is determined in the winning symbol set process in the next step 1231. Set. When the determination in step 1230 is NO, the lost symbol is set in the lost symbol setting process in step 1232.

  After the processing in step 1231 or 1232, in step 1240, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a certain change or a short time. If the game state at the current stage is one of probability change and time saving, it is determined YES in Step 1240, and then the variation time is set to 3 (seconds) in Step 1241. On the other hand, when the determination in step 1240 is NO, since the current gaming state is the normal gaming state or the latent probability changing gaming state, the variation time is set to 29 (seconds) in step 1242.

  After the processing of step 1241 or step 1242 is performed in this way, in the variation start processing in step 1250, the normal symbol display device 80a uses the normal symbol display device 80a or the winning symbol set in step 1231. The display of the variation of the lost pattern is started. Accordingly, in the variable time counting start process in step 1260, another soft timer built in main controller 300 is reset to start timing.

  Along with the processing in step 1250, a normal symbol variation start command is set in step 1250a.

  Thereafter, when the normal symbol processing routine 1200 proceeds to step 1210 again, since the fluctuation has already started in step 1250, YES is determined in step 1210. Then, in step 1270, it is determined whether or not the variable time is over. Here, if the time measured by the soft timer that has already started counting in step 1260 has not reached the variation time (set time in step 1241 or step 1242), the determination in step 1270 is NO.

In this state, when the normal symbol processing routine 1200 proceeds to step 1270 at least once thereafter, the time measured by the soft timer that has already started time counting in step 1260 has reached the predetermined fluctuation time. For example, YES is determined in step 1270. Accordingly, in the fluctuation stopping process in step 1271, the display of the winning symbol fluctuation or the loss symbol fluctuation started in step 1250 is stopped in the normal symbol display device 80a. In step 1272, the fluctuation time (the set time in step 1241 or step 1242) is reset.
(7) Grand prize opening process When the processing of the normal symbol processing routine 1200 is completed as described above, the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the special prize opening routine 1300 (see FIG. 27). In the special prize opening process routine 1300, the special prize opening process is repeated from the first round of the 15th round to the 15th round. Accordingly, the big prize opening device 70 repeatedly opens the big prize opening based on the big hit opening pattern. As a result, the game balls that are sequentially guided into the game area 11 as described above are likely to repeatedly enter the big prize opening of the big prize opening device 70, and as a result, the player can acquire many prize balls. I can expect.
(8) Electric Chu Processing When the processing of the special winning opening processing routine 1300 is completed as described above, the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the next electric chew processing routine 1400 (see FIG. 27). In the electric chew processing routine 1400, if the game state at the current stage is a certain change or short-time game state, the opening time of the start winning port of the second starting winning port device 40 is set to 3.5 (seconds). On the other hand, if the current game state is not the probability change or the short-time game state but the normal game state or the latent probability change game state, the opening time of the start winning port of the second start winning port device 40 is 0.2 (seconds). ) Is set.

Accordingly, the second start winning a prize opening device 40 is driven by the electric Chu actuator 41 for 3.5 (seconds) or 0.2 (seconds) under the control of the CPU 310 of the main control device 300. . For this reason, the 2nd start prize opening device 40 opens the start prize opening. Thereby, the player can expect an increase in the winning of the game ball to the starting winning port of the second starting winning port device 40.
(9) Output Processing When the processing of the electric chew processing routine 1400 is completed as described above, the first main timer interruption program proceeds to the output processing routine 1500 (see FIG. 27). In this output processing routine 1500, the detection outputs of the first and second start winning port sensors S1, S2 performed in the respective processes of the first starting winning port routine 700 to the electric chew processing routine 1400, the normal winning port sensor S4. The detected output and other various processing data are output as output data to the payout control unit 400a and the system control unit 500b of the sub control device 500.
2. Sub Control Device Side Game Operation Mode In accordance with the processing of the main control device side game operation mode as described above, in the sub control device 500, the payout control unit 400a is set in the payout game operation mode, and the system control unit 500b Together with the image control unit 500c and the lamp control unit 500d, the production game operation mode is set.

  In the gaming process as described above, the player applies a magnet to the corresponding portion of the front door D of the pachinko gaming machine with respect to the vicinity of the upper side of the first starting prize opening device 30, and the first along the board surface of the gaming board 10 An illegal act of manipulating a magnet so as to guide a game ball that rolls to the vicinity of the upper side of the start prize opening device 30 to win in the start prize opening of the first start prize opening device 30 by the magnetic force of the magnet. , The magnet sensor S10 detects the magnetic force of the magnet, generates a magnet detection signal, and outputs it to the main controller 300.

  For this reason, when the second main timer interruption control program proceeds to step 1600 in FIG. 28, YES is determined in step 1600 based on the magnet detection signal from the magnet sensor S1 as the use of the magnet.

  If it is determined NO in step 1600 because there is no fraud by the magnet, it is determined in step 1610 whether vibration has occurred.

  Here, when vibration occurs in the pachinko gaming machine by hitting the gaming machine body B or the front door D of the pachinko gaming machine in order to change the rolling of the gaming ball on the board surface of the gaming board 11, Vibration is detected by the vibration sensor S11 and output to the main controller 300 as a vibration detection signal.

  Therefore, in step 1610, YES is determined as the occurrence of vibration based on the vibration detection signal from the vibration sensor S11.

  Then, an error determination process in step 1620 is performed. In this error determination process, based on the determination result of YES in step 1600 or the determination result of YES in step 1610, an illegal act due to the use of a magnet or an illegal act due to the occurrence of vibration is determined as an error.

  On the other hand, when the error determination process is performed in step 1620 as described above while the main control program repeats the determination of NO in step 620 as described above, the main control program is based on the error determination process. In step 620 of the program, it is determined as YES because there is an error.

  Accordingly, in the next step 621, an error signal output process is performed. In the error signal output process, the CPU 310 of the main controller 300 sends an error signal indicating the error as a result of the error determination process in step 1620, that is, an error caused by an improper action by a magnet or an occurrence of vibration through an output port 360d. It is output to the external terminal board 400.

  Then, the error signal is output to the hall computer HC through the connector N10 of the external terminal board 420 by the tenth semiconductor switching circuit portion of the semiconductor switching circuit 410. Thereby, it can be provided as error information to the hall computer HC that there is an illegal act in the pachinko gaming machine.

Here, the error signal is output to the hall computer HC through the connector N10 of the external terminal board 420, similarly to the above-described RAM clear signal. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a connector for outputting an error signal to the hall computer HC in the external terminal board 420 separately from a connector N10 for outputting the RAM clear signal to the hall computer HC. By using the connector that outputs the signal to the hall computer HC as the connector that outputs the error signal to the hall computer HC, there is no need to provide an extra connector on the external terminal plate 420, and the configuration of the external terminal plate 420 can be further improved. It can be made even easier.
2. Sub control device side game operation mode The sub control device side game operation is performed corresponding to the main control device side game operation as described above. Hereinafter, the payout process, the effect control process, and the sub timer interrupt process will be described separately.
(1) Dispensing Process After the dispensing control unit 500a of the sub-control device 500 starts executing the dispensing control program as described above, various output data are transferred from the main controller 300 to the sub-processing routine 1500 as described above. When output to the control device 500, if the various output data includes payout data (detection output of the big prize opening sensor S5, etc.), the payout control unit 500a receives the payout data and pays out the game ball. Processing is performed, and a payout output is output to the payout motor M. Therefore, the payout mechanism pays out the game ball in accordance with a predetermined payout condition under the driving of the payout motor M.
(2) Production control processing As described above, when the system control unit 500b of the sub-control device 500 starts execution of the production control program according to the flowcharts of FIGS. 34 and 35, output data is output in step 2000 (see FIG. 34). The presence or absence of is determined.

  If the output data is output to the system control unit 500b at the current stage, YES is determined in step 2000. If no output data is output to the system control unit 500b, NO is determined in step 2000, and the effect control program proceeds to a return step (see FIG. 34).

  If YES is determined in step 2000 as described above, in the next step 2100, it is determined whether or not a special symbol variation is started. Here, if the special symbol variation start command is set in step 1170 of FIG. 32, the special symbol variation start command is output from the main controller 300 to the system control unit 500b in the output processing routine 1500. For this reason, in step 2100, it is determined YES based on the special symbol variation start command. In other words, special symbol variation has started in main controller 300 (see step 1180 in FIG. 32).

  Corresponding to the start of such special symbol variation, a decorative symbol variation process is performed in step 2110. In the decorative symbol variation process, for example, the decorative symbol variation as shown in FIG. 41 is performed. When the variation of the decorative design is started, the effect display device 80 displays the variation of the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol as time passes.

  For example, during the variation display by the effect display device 80, after the variation starts, the left symbol (for example, “2”) stops as shown in FIG. 41, and then the right symbol (for example, “2”) stops. Then, reach is established at the stop stage of the right symbol. If the reach is, for example, normal reach, the effect display device 80 is assumed to have selected the normal reach variation pattern in the variation pattern selection processing subroutine 1160 of FIG. An effect display is performed in an effect mode representing normal reach based on the pattern. Thereby, the player can recognize the possibility of jackpot.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 41, after the right symbol stops as described above, when the first special reach arrives, the variation pattern for the first special reach is selected by the variation pattern selection processing subroutine 1160 of FIG. On the premise that the effect is displayed, the effect display device 80 performs effect display in a special effect mode that represents the first special reach based on the first special reach variation pattern. Thereby, the player can recognize the possibility of jackpot even more strongly.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 41, the middle symbol stops. Here, if the stopped middle symbol is “2”, for example, the left side, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are both “2”. The result is a jackpot.

  In addition, if the stopped middle symbol is “3”, for example, the left symbol and the right symbol are different, the result of the big hit lottery that is the cause of the special symbol variation is out of place.

  Thereafter, when the special symbol variation ends, it is determined YES in Step 2120. Accordingly, the decoration symbol variation ends in the decoration symbol variation end processing in Step 2120 (see FIG. 41).

  Then, in the next step 2122, an operation button pressing command process due to arrival of a chance is performed. Accordingly, it is determined whether or not the operation button 140c is pushed. Here, if the operation button 140c is not pushed, it is determined NO in Step 2122, and it is determined in Step 2140 whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. The predetermined time refers to the time required for the player to push the operation button 140c.

  Since the predetermined time has not elapsed, if NO is determined in step 2124, the determination in step 2123 is made again. Here, if the player is pushing the operation button 140c, the support member 140b is displaced downward together with the operation button 140c against the left and right front coil springs 140d and the left and right rear coil springs 140e.

  At the present stage, in the effect button sensor 140f, the light receiving element 147c of the sensor main body 147 is receiving light from the light emitting element 147b. Therefore, when the support member 140b is displaced downward as described above, the light shield 148 of the effect button sensor 140f is displaced downward, and enters between the light emitting element 147b and the light receiving element 147c at the plate-shaped light shielding piece 148b. Then, the light receiving element 147c receives light from the light emitting element 147b. Thereby, the production button sensor 140f generates a detection signal indicating the pressing of the operation button 140c and outputs the detection signal to the system control unit 500b.

  Accordingly, in step 2123, it is determined as YES because the operation button 140c is pushed. On the other hand, if the predetermined time elapses before it is determined as YES in step 2123, it is determined as YES in step 2124.

  As described above, when the determination in step 2123 is YES, vibration motor drive processing is performed in the next step 2125. Accordingly, the vibration motor 200f rotates together with the eccentric body 200g under the control of the lamp control unit 500d.

  At this time, the eccentric body 200g rotates while being eccentric with the rotation of the vibration motor 200f, so that the vibration motor 200f vibrates in the eccentric direction of the eccentric body 200g by the motor main body 214, and the vibration is allowed. This is transmitted to the vibration plate 200d.

  Here, as described above, the vibration plate 200d is provided with the left and right side screws 230a and 230b, and the inclined upper wall of the button base 140a via the left and right side covers 220a and 220b, the upper and lower left and right annular spacers 220c and 220d. 146a. Moreover, the upper and lower left and right annular spacers 220c and 220d are formed of a rubber material having a predetermined elasticity and a predetermined thickness as described above.

  Therefore, the vibration plate 200d vibrates in the vertical direction (thickness direction of the vibration plate 200d) in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c and the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d accompanying the vibration of the vibration motor 200f.

  The vibration motor 200f is assembled to the vibration plate 200d behind the center line P in the left-right direction in the motor main body 214. For this reason, the vibration plate 200d has a lateral centerline P each time the eccentric direction of the eccentric body 200g approaches the thickness direction of the vibration plate 200d, in other words, the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c and the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d. It will also vibrate like a seesaw based on this.

  Accordingly, the vibration plate 200d transmits vibration in the thickness direction or seesaw-like vibration to the operation button 140c via the support member 140b. Therefore, the operation button 140c vibrates according to the vibration mode of the vibration plate 220d.

  Thus, if the player is touching the operation button 140c with his / her hand, the player can sense the vibration of the operation button 140c via his / her hand. As a result, the player can expect the arrival of a reach or a jackpot based on the vibration of the operation button 140c coupled with the arrival of the chance.

  After the processing in step 2125 or after determining “YES” in step 2124, it is determined in step 2130 (see FIG. 34) whether or not it is a big hit. Here, if the jackpot is established under the stop of the middle symbol as described above, it is determined as YES in Step 2130. Then, in the jackpot setting process in step 2130a, the jackpot is set to be established.

  Accordingly, a jackpot game display effect process is performed in step 2131. Here, the effect display device 80 provides an effect display in a display effect mode representing a jackpot.

  Next, in the next step 2132, a big hit light effect process is performed. Along with this, the frame lamp W performs a light effect in a light effect mode representing a big hit.

  Further, in step 2133, a big hit sound effect process is performed. Along with this, both speakers SP perform sound effects in a sound effect manner that represents a jackpot.

  As described above, the jackpot display effect by the effect display device 80, the jackpot light effect by the frame lamp W, and the jackpot sound effect by both speakers SP are performed, so that the player is notified by the above-described normal reach and the first special reach. As you can see, it ’s a big win.

  On the other hand, as described above, if the stopped symbol is different from the stopped left symbol or the stopped right symbol and the deviation is established, it is determined as NO in step 2130 described above. Along with this, in the outlier setting process in the next step 2140 (see FIG. 35), the establishment of outage is set.

  Then, in the out-of-game display effect processing in step 2141, the effect display device 80 performs effect display in a display effect mode that represents a loss. As a result, the player recognizes that the player has missed as a result in spite of the notice by the normal reach and the first special reach described above.

  Thus, when the out-of-game display effect processing in step 2141 is completed, it is determined in next step 2150 whether or not there is a customer waiting command. Here, if the customer waiting command is not output from the main controller 300 to the system controller 500b, it is determined as NO in step 2150.

  On the other hand, if the customer waiting command is output from main controller 300 to system controller 500b, the determination in step 2150 is YES. Then, in the next step 2160, it is determined whether or not a predetermined customer waiting time has elapsed. Here, the predetermined customer waiting time refers to a predetermined time after completion of the off-game display effect process in step 2141.

  At this stage, since the predetermined customer waiting time has not yet elapsed, the determination in step 2160 is NO.

  If the customer waiting command is output from the main control device 300 to the system control unit 500b during the circulation processing in both steps 2150 and 2160, the determination in step 2150 is YES.

  If YES in step 2160 based on the elapse of the predetermined customer waiting time, a customer waiting command is set in the customer waiting command set process in the next step 2161. Accordingly, in step 2162, a customer waiting mode display effect process is performed. Accordingly, the effect display device 80 performs a display effect in a display effect mode similar to the jackpot display effect mode. As a result, in the game until just before the pachinko gaming machine, an impression is given to a new customer as if a large number of game balls were acquired.

  Next, in step 2170, it is determined whether or not the customer waiting mode display effect has ended. If the customer waiting mode display effect has not ended in the original stage, the determination in step 2170 is NO.

  Thereafter, during the process of circulating both steps 2162 and 2170, when the customer waiting mode display effect ends, YES is determined in step 2170. This means that the customer waiting in the pachinko gaming machine has ended.

  If the determination in step 2170 is YES as described above, it is determined in next step 2180 whether or not the game has started. At the present stage, when a new customer rotates the operation handle 110 in the pachinko gaming machine, the ball launching device launches the game ball toward the game area 11 of the game board 10 via the guide rail 20.

  When the launch of the game ball is detected by a launch sensor (not shown) provided in the ball launch device, the detection result serves as a game start signal indicating the start of the game, and YES is determined in step 2180. Is done.

  On the other hand, if there is no detection by the launch sensor as described above and it is determined NO in step 2180, there is no new customer despite the end of the customer waiting mode display effect after the predetermined customer waiting time has elapsed, and the game starts. Therefore, in step 2180, NO is determined.

  Accordingly, in the next step 2181, a customer waiting mode light effect process is performed.

  In this customer waiting mode light effect process, the frame lamp W and the plurality of light emitting diodes of the illumination body 113 of the operation handle 110 are controlled by the lamp control unit 500d under the control of the system control unit 500b, and the jackpot is established. When this is done, a light effect is performed in a guest light effect mode similar to the light effect mode in which the jackpot is represented by light. For this reason, when a new customer sees the front door D of the pachinko machine, the new customer has the frame lamp W and the electric decoration body 113 of the operation handle 110 in the above-described customer-lighted light effect mode. It will be visually confirmed that the performance is being performed.

As a result, the new customer induces the new customer to play with the pachinko machine by creating an illusion as if the pachinko machine has already acquired many game balls due to the establishment of the jackpot. can do.
(3) Sub-Timer Interrupt Processing As described above, the system control unit 500b of the sub-control device 500 generates a sub-pulse signal from the soft timer according to the flowcharts of FIGS. When the execution is started, it is determined in step 3000 of FIG. 36 whether there is output data. If the output data is being output to the system control unit 500b at the current stage, YES is determined in step 3000. If there is no output data output to system control unit 500b, NO is determined in step 3000, and the effect control program proceeds to the end step (see FIG. 40).

  If the determination in step 3000 is YES as described above, in the next step 3100, it is determined whether or not the decoration symbol variation corresponds to the special symbol variation. Here, if the decorative symbol variation has been started (see FIG. 37) in the decorative symbol variation processing of step 2110 (see FIG. 34), it is determined as YES in step 3100.

  Accordingly, in the next step 3110, it is determined whether or not the first step motor is in the initial rotation position. At the present stage, if the first initial rotational position sensor S6 has not generated the first initial rotational position detection signal, the first step motor 180a is not in the initial rotational position, and therefore NO is determined in step 3110.

  Then, in the error signal output process in step 3111, main controller 300 outputs that the first step motor 180a is not in the initial rotation position to system control unit 500b as an error command. Accordingly, the effect display device 80 is controlled by the image control unit 500c under the control of the system control unit 500b, and displays that the first step motor 180a is not at the initial rotation position as an error.

  Thereby, it can be visually recognized that the first step motor 180a is not in the initial rotation position.

  After the process of step 3111, in the next step 3112, the process of returning the first step motor to the initial rotational position is performed. Accordingly, the first step motor 180a is controlled by the lamp control unit 500d based on the return control command from the system control unit 500b and rotates forward toward the initial rotation position (see FIG. 5 or FIG. 8).

  Thereafter, when the first initial rotational position sensor S6 detects the initial rotational position of the first step motor 180a, generates the first initial rotational position detection signal, and outputs it to the main controller 300, YES is determined in step 3110. .

  With the determination of YES in step 3110, it is determined in step 3120 whether or not the second step motor is in the initial rotation position. If the second initial rotational position sensor S8 does not generate the second initial rotational position detection signal at the present stage, the second step motor 200a is not in the initial rotational position, and therefore NO is determined in step 3120.

  Then, in the error signal output process in the next step 3120a, main controller 300 outputs that the second step motor 200a is not in the initial rotation position to system control unit 500b as an error command. Accordingly, the effect display device 80 is controlled by the image control unit 500c under the control of the system control unit 500b, and displays that the second step motor 200a is not at the initial rotation position as an error.

  Thereby, it can be visually recognized that the second step motor 200a is not in the initial rotation position.

  After the process of step 3120a, the process of returning the second step motor to the initial rotational position is performed in the next step 3121. Along with this, the second step motor 200a is normally rotated toward the initial rotation position (see FIG. 5 or FIG. 8) under the control of the lamp control unit 500d based on the return control command from the system control unit 500b.

  Thereafter, when the second initial rotational position sensor S8 detects the initial rotational position of the second step motor 200a, generates a second initial rotational position detection signal, and outputs it to the main controller 300, it is determined YES in step 3120. .

  When it is determined in this way, in the determination process that the first and second step motors are both in the initial rotation position in the next step 3122, both the first step motor 180a and the second step motor 200a are in the initial rotation position. It is determined that

  With such a determination, the L-shaped base BD and the rotating body RD are at the rotational positions shown in FIG. 5 or FIG.

  After the process of step 3122, it is determined in step 3130 whether or not the left symbol is stopped. At the present stage, after the decorative symbol variation in the decorative symbol variation processing in step 2110 (see FIG. 34), the effect display device 80 changes the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol as time passes, as described above. indicate.

  In such a state, if the stop of the left symbol (see FIG. 41) is established, the effect display device 80 displays the stop of the left symbol. Accordingly, in the first step motor low-speed forward rotation process in the next step 3131, the first step motor 180a is controlled by the lamp control unit 500d based on the low-speed normal rotation command from the system control unit 500b, and the normal rotation is performed. First, low-speed forward rotation is maintained (see FIG. 41). Thereby, the rotating body RD rotates at a low speed.

  Thereafter, in step 3140, it is determined whether or not the right symbol is stopped. At the present stage, after the left symbol stop in the decorative symbol variation process in step 2110 (see FIG. 34) and before the right symbol halt (see FIG. 41) is established, the determination in step 3410 is YES. . Accordingly, in the first step motor stop process in step 3141, the first step motor 180a is controlled and stopped by the lamp control unit 500d based on the stop command from the system control unit 500b. Thereby, the rotating body RD stops.

  In such a stopped state of the rotator RD, if, for example, the reach effect mode ◎ of each effect mode of the first effect wall 160a of the rotator RD is located obliquely upward on the front side, the player Recognizing that notice, expect a big hit.

  After the process of step 3141, an electrical decoration effect process is performed in step 3141a. Here, the lighting board 190e of the lighting body 190 is driven and controlled by the lamp control 500d with the plurality of light emitting diodes under the control of the system control unit 500b, and the first stage wall in the stage lighting mode. A light emission effect is performed through 160a. Thereby, the player can expect the jackpot to be established as described above, with the display effect mode of the first effect wall 160a of the rotating body RD and the light emission effect mode with the lighting board 190e.

  After step 3141a, it is determined in step 3150 (see FIG. 37) whether the right symbol is stopped. At the present stage, if the right symbol stop (see FIG. 41) in the decorative symbol variation in the decorative symbol variation processing in step 2110 (see FIG. 34) is established, YES is determined in step 3150. In the decorative symbol variation process, normal reach is established when the right symbol is stopped. Therefore, as described above, the effect display device 80 displays the effect using the normal reach effect pattern together with the display of the right symbol stop. For this reason, the player expects the jackpot to be established as described above.

  With the determination of YES in step 3150, in step 3151, a first step motor medium speed forward rotation process is performed. Here, the rotating body RD is controlled by the ramp control unit 500d based on the medium-speed normal rotation command from the system control unit 500b, and starts normal rotation and maintains medium-speed normal rotation (see FIG. 41).

  Thereafter, in step 3160 of FIG. 38, for example, it is determined whether or not it is before the first special reach. At the present stage, if the first special reach (see FIG. 41) is not established after the stop of the right symbol in the decorative symbol change in the decorative symbol change process in step 2110 (see FIG. 34), the determination in step 3160 is YES. It becomes.

  Accordingly, in the first step motor stop process in step 3161, the rotating body RD is controlled by the lamp control unit 500d based on the stop command from the system control unit 500b, and stopped in accordance with the stop of the step motor 180a (FIG. 41). In such a stopped state of the rotator RD, among the effect modes of the first effect wall 160a of the rotator RD, for example, if the jackpot effect mode V is positioned obliquely upward on the front side, the player wins the jackpot Recognize the notice.

  After the process of step 3161, an electrical decoration effect process is performed in the next step 3161a. Here, the lighting board 190e of the lighting body 190 is driven and controlled by the lamp control 500d with the plurality of light emitting diodes under the control of the system control unit 500b, and the first stage wall in the stage lighting mode. A light emission effect is performed through 160a. Thereby, the player can expect the jackpot to be established as described above, with the display effect mode of the first effect wall 160a of the rotating body RD and the light emission effect mode with the lighting board 190e.

  After the process of step 3160a, it is determined in step 3170 whether or not it is the first special reach. At this stage, if the first special reach (see FIG. 41) is established in the decorative symbol variation process in the decorative symbol variation process in step 2110 (see FIG. 34), the determination in step 3170 is YES. In the decorative symbol variation process, as described above, when the first special reach is established, the effect display device 80 displays the effect with the effect pattern for the special reach. As a result, the player strongly expects that the jackpot will be established as described above.

  If it is determined as YES in step 3170 as described above, second step motor forward rotation processing is performed in next step 3171. Along with this, the L-shaped base BD rotates forward together with the rotating body RD under the control of the lamp controller 500d based on the normal rotation command from the system controller 500b.

  Along with the processing of step 3171, it is determined in step 3180 whether or not it is a right angle rotation position. At this stage, since it is immediately after the processing in step 3171, the L-shaped substrate BD has not reached the right angle rotation position (position rotated 90 degrees from the initial rotation position). Therefore, NO is determined in step 3180.

  Thus, during the circulation processing of both steps 3171 and 3180, the second right-angle rotation position sensor S9 detects that the L-shaped base BD has reached the right-angle rotation position, and sends the second right-angle rotation position detection signal to the main controller. If output to 300, the system control unit 50b determines YES in step 3180 based on the second right-angle rotational position detection signal from the main control device 300. Accordingly, in the second step motor stop process in step 3181, the L-shaped base BD is controlled by the lamp control unit 500 d based on the stop command from the system control unit 500 b together with the rotating body RD, so that the second step motor It stops with the stop of 200a.

  As described above, when the L-shaped substrate BD reaches the right-angle rotation position from the initial rotation position together with the rotating body RD, the first step motor high-speed rotation process is performed in step 3182. Along with this, the first step motor 180a is controlled by the lamp control unit 500d based on the high-speed normal rotation command from the system control unit 500b to perform high-speed normal rotation. For this reason, the rotating body RD starts to rotate and maintains high-speed normal rotation.

  Under such high-speed forward rotation, it is determined in the next step 3190 whether or not the middle symbol is stopped. At the present stage, if the middle symbol stop (see FIG. 41) in the decorative symbol change in the decorative symbol change process in step 2110 (see FIG. 34) is not established, the determination in step 3190 becomes YES. Accordingly, a first step motor stop process is performed in the next step 3191. Therefore, the first step motor 180a is controlled and stopped by the lamp control unit 500d based on the stop command from the system control unit 500b. Thereby, the rotating body RD stops.

  In such a stopped state of the rotator RD, among the effect modes of the second effect wall 160b of the rotator RD, for example, the jackpot effect mode ◎ is positioned obliquely upward on the front side (see the tip of the needle 170b). Then, the player recognizes the jackpot notice and strongly expects the jackpot to be established.

  After the process of step 3191, an electrical decoration effect process is performed in the next step 3191a. Here, the lighting board 190d of the lighting body 190 is driven and controlled by the lamp control 500d with the plurality of light emitting diodes under the control of the system control unit 500b, and the second stage wall in the stage lighting mode. A light emission effect is performed through 160b. As a result, the player can expect to win a jackpot as described above, with the display effect mode of the second effect wall 160b of the rotating body RD and the light emission effect mode with the lighting board 190d.

  After the process of step 3191a, it is determined in step 3200 whether the middle symbol is stopped. At this stage, if the middle symbol stop (see FIG. 41) in the decorative symbol change in the decorative symbol change process in step 2110 (see FIG. 34) is established, the determination in step 3200 becomes YES.

Next, in step 3210, it is determined whether or not the decorative symbol variation is stopped. At this stage, if the decorative symbol variation in the decorative symbol variation processing of step 2110 (see FIG. 34) is completed as shown in FIG. 41, YES is determined in step 3210. Here, since the decorative symbol variation stop is premised on the corresponding special symbol variation stop, the result of the jackpot lottery becomes clear with the special symbol variation stop.
If it is a big hit, the player recognizes that it is as per the previous notice. Moreover, if it is off, the player will be disappointed with his expectations against the above notice.

  After the determination of YES in step 3210, the predetermined customer waiting time is measured in the predetermined customer waiting time measuring process in step 3211. Here, the predetermined customer waiting time represents a time for waiting for a new customer when the game by the pachinko gaming machine is completed after the result of the jackpot lottery is determined.

  In step 3211, the timing of the predetermined customer waiting time is started. In step 3220 (see FIG. 40), it is determined whether or not the predetermined customer waiting time has elapsed. If the predetermined customer waiting time has not elapsed at the present stage, NO is determined in step 3220.

  If a predetermined customer waiting time elapses during the circulation processing of both steps 3211 and 3220, YES is determined in step 3220. Along with this, it is determined in step 3240 whether or not the customer waiting mode effect has ended. At this stage, if it is determined as YES at the end of the customer waiting mode display effect in step 2170 of FIG. 35, the determination in step 3240 is YES.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step 2170 of FIG. 35 is NO, it is determined in step 3230 whether there is a new command. If a new command has been output from main controller 300 to system control unit 500b, the determination in step 3230 is YES. For this reason, the new command is set in the new command set processing in the next step 3231.

  As described above, if YES is determined in step 3240 or if a new command set process is performed in step 3231, a process for returning the first step motor to the initial rotational position is performed in step 3250. Accordingly, the first step motor 180a is controlled by the lamp control unit 500d based on a return command from the system control unit 500b, and returns to the initial rotation position.

  Further, after the process of step 2350, in step 3260, the return process of the second step motor to the initial rotation position is performed. Accordingly, the second step motor 180a is controlled by the lamp control unit 500d based on the return command from the system control unit 500b and returns to the initial rotation position.

By returning the first and second step motors 180a and 180b to the initial rotation positions, the L-shaped base BD and the rotating body RD are returned to the state shown in FIG. 5 or FIG.
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 42 shows the main part of the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the effect button sensor 140f described in the first embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the center portion (front side plate) of the support plate 141 as shown in FIG.

For this reason, the disturbance light does not enter the effect button sensor 140f located below the center portion in the front-rear direction of the support plate 141.

As a result, it is possible not only to secure the lower side of the rear portion of the support plate 141 of the vibration mechanism VM, but the effect button sensor 140f is accompanied by erroneous detection due to the incidence of disturbance light. In this case, the detection operation can always be performed normally. Other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.
(Third embodiment)
FIG. 43 shows the main part of the third embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment, the effect button sensor 140f described in the first embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the rear side plate portion 141b on the rear side of the support plate 141 as shown in FIG. It is arrange | positioned under the horizontal direction center part of the site | part.

  Here, in the effect button sensor 140f referred to in the third embodiment, the sensor main body 147 has a vertical U-shaped recess formed in the lower wall 147a at the rear portion of the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a. The sensor main body 147 is supported upward from the lower wall 147a by the light emitting element 140b and the light receiving element 147c. In addition, the longitudinal cross-section U-shaped recess 146f is formed in the longitudinal cross-section U-shape toward the downward direction in the rear side site | part of the inclined upper wall 146a. In the third embodiment, the support member 140g is supported by the bottom wall portion in the longitudinal cross-section U-shaped recess 146f.

  Further, in the third embodiment, the light shielding member 148 is formed by the upper wall 148a on the rear side plate portion so as to extend between the light emitting element 147b and the light receiving element 147c by the plate-shaped light shielding piece 148b. 141b is extended downward from the rear part of 141b. As described above, the effect button sensor 140f is disposed at the rear side portion of the rear plate portion 141b of the support plate 141. Therefore, the vibration mechanism VM is located on the front side and the left side of the effect button sensor 140f in the button base 140a. Or what is necessary is just to arrange | position on the right side. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  According to the third embodiment configured as described above, the effect button sensor 140f is disposed on the rear side portion of the rear plate portion 141b of the support plate 141, so that disturbance light is applied to the button type effect operation device BG. Even if the light is incident obliquely downward from the front side, the disturbance light is reflected on the mirror surface 171 by the reflecting plate 170a.

For this reason, the disturbance light is not incident on the effect button sensor 140f located below the rear portion of the rear plate portion 141b of the support plate 141. As a result, the effect button sensor 140f can always perform a normal detection operation without erroneous detection due to the incidence of disturbance light. Other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.
(Fourth embodiment)
FIG. 44 shows the main part of the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, the left middle side through-hole portion 212 of the vibration plate 200d described in the first embodiment is the left front side through hole portion 210 and the left rear side penetration hole of the vibration plate 200d. The vibration plate 200d is formed at a position shifted by a predetermined distance toward the left front through-hole 210 on the front-rear direction line connecting the centers of the holes 211.

  Here, as described above, left and right connecting the center of the left middle through-hole elongated hole 212 and the center of the right middle through-hole elongated hole 212 at a position shifted to the left front through-hole 210 by a predetermined distance as described above. The direction-inclined center line P1 (see FIG. 44) is inclined so as to intersect the left-right direction center line P described in the first embodiment at the center of the right middle through-hole-like long hole portion 212. Located in.

  Accordingly, the left-side cover 220a and the upper and lower left-side annular spacers 220c having a U-shaped vertical cross section are located in the same manner as in the first embodiment via the left middle through-hole-like elongated hole portion 212 that is displaced as described above. The left base screw 230a is assembled to the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  According to the fourth embodiment configured as described above, the left side cover 220a and the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c having a U-shaped vertical cross section, together with the right side cover 220a and the upper and lower right annular spacers 220c having a U-shaped vertical cross section, , 230b so that the vibration plate 200d is supported not on the lateral centerline P described in the first embodiment but on the laterally inclined centerline P1 as in the first embodiment. The vibration plate 200d and the inclined upper wall 140a are assembled.

  For this reason, the vibration plate 200d receives the vibration of the vibration motor 200f via the support wall 200e cut and raised by the vibration plate as described above, and is on the left-right inclined center line P1 corresponding to the vibration. The upper and lower left and right annular spacers 220c and 220d, which are positioned at the upper and lower left and right annular spacers 220d and 220d, are vibrated under the expansion and contraction operation. This is transmitted to the operation button 140c via the both front and rear coil springs 140d and 140e and the support plate 141 of the support member 140b.

  Here, the vibration plate 200d is configured to vibrate in the thickness direction according to the vibration of the vibration motor 200f with reference to the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c and the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d located on the right and left inclined center line P1. As a result of seesaw-like vibration, the operation button 140c vibrates according to the vibration mode of the vibration plate 200d.

Thereby, if the player is touching the operation button 140c with his / her hand, the player can sense the vibration of the operation button 140c corresponding to the above-described vibration mode of the vibration plate 200d via his / her hand. As a result, the player can expect a reach or a jackpot based on the above-described vibration of the operation button 140c, coupled with the arrival of the chance.
(Fifth embodiment)
FIG. 45 shows the essential parts of the fifth embodiment of the present invention. In the fifth embodiment, the vibration plate 200d has a U-shaped longitudinal section in addition to the left cover 220a and the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c and the right cover 220a and the upper and lower right annular spacers 220c described in the first embodiment. The front cover 220e and the upper and lower front annular spacers 220f are assembled to the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a.

  In the fifth embodiment, the front through-hole long hole portion 212 is positioned at the apex of an isosceles triangle whose base is a line connecting the centers of the left and right middle through-hole long hole portions 212 of the vibration plate 200d. The vibration plate 200d is formed. In the fifth embodiment, a point forming the apex angle of the isosceles triangle is referred to as a vertex, and a point forming the base angle is referred to as a base point. In addition, the front side penetration long hole part 212 is formed in the vibration plate 200d in the same shape as each of the left and right middle side penetration long hole parts 212.

  The front cover 220e is formed with the same configuration as each of the left and right side covers 220a and 220b, and the upper and lower front annular spacers 220f are formed with the same configuration as each of the upper and lower side left and right annular spacers 220c and 220d. Has been.

  The upper and lower front annular spacers 220f are superimposed on the front side through-holes 212 from both sides so as to sandwich the front side through-holes 212 of the vibration plate 200d.

  The front cover 220e covers the lower front annular spacer 220f of the upper and lower front annular spacers 220f from below the annular wall 222. Accordingly, the front cover 220e comes into contact with the lower front annular spacer 220e from below at the disk-like wall portion 221.

  Thus, in the state where the upper and lower front annular spacers 220f are disposed on the vibration plate 200d, the front screw 230c is formed at the center hole portion formed in the disk-shaped wall portion 221 of the front cover 220e, and the lower front annular spacer 220f. And the hollow portion of the front through-hole-like long hole portion 212 of the vibration plate 200d and the upper front annular spacer 220f, and is fastened to the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a.

  Accordingly, the vibration plate 200d can vibrate on the basis of the centers of the left and right middle through-holes 212 and the front through-holes 212 located at both bases and vertices of the isosceles triangle. The button base 140a is assembled to the inclined upper wall 146a. The fastening of the front screw 230c to the sloped upper wall 146a is similar to the fastening of the left and right screws 230a, 230b to the sloped upper wall 146a described in the first embodiment. The fastening is performed so as to maintain the elasticity and fastening thickness enough to enable the vibration plate 200d to vibrate. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the fifth embodiment configured as described above, when the vibration motor 200f vibrates in the motor main body 214 due to the eccentricity of the eccentric body 200g as in the first embodiment, the vibration causes the motor main body 214 to move. Via the vibration plate 200d. Accordingly, the vibration plate 200d vibrates with the vibration of the vibration motor 200f.

  Here, in the fifth embodiment, the left cover 220a and the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c are positioned at one bottom point of both bases of the isosceles triangle, and the right cover 220a and the upper and lower right annular spacers 220c are The front cover 220e and the upper and lower front annular spacers 220f are assembled to the vibration plate 200d so as to be positioned at the apex of the isosceles triangle while being located at the other bottom point of the equilateral triangle. Further, the vibration motor 220f is vibrated so that the motor main body 214 is positioned behind the left-right center line P on the front-rear direction center line Q as described in the first embodiment. It is disposed on the plate 200d.

  For this reason, the vibration plate 200d is provided at each part corresponding to the apex and both bottom points of the isosceles triangle (corresponding part to each center of the front through-hole elongated hole part 212 and the left and right middle through-hole elongated hole part 212). The combination of the front cover 220e, the upper and lower front annular spacers 220f and the front screw 230c, the left cover 220a, the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c and the left screw 230a, and the right cover 220b, the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d and the right screw 230b. Therefore, it vibrates in the vertical direction (thickness direction of the vibration plate 200d) while being held under the elasticity of the spacers 220f, 220c and 220d. At this time, a portion of the vibration plate 200d that is not held as described above, that is, a portion behind the base of the isosceles triangle in FIG. 45 is coupled with the weight of the vibration mechanism VM, and the vibration plate 200d. Of the above-mentioned isosceles triangle, it vibrates more in the vertical direction than the front part of the base.

  Then, the operation button 140c vibrates according to the vibration mode of the vibration plate 200d as described above. Thus, if the player is touching the operation button 140c with his / her hand, the player can sense the vibration of the operation button 140c via his / her hand. As a result, the player can expect the arrival of a reach or a jackpot based on the vibration of the operation button 140c coupled with the arrival of the chance. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

In carrying out the present invention, the following various modifications are possible without being limited to the above embodiment.
(1) In carrying out the present invention, the rotating shaft of the rotating body RD differs from the first embodiment in that the rotating shaft 161 extends forward from the front lid wall 160b in addition to the rotating shaft 161 extending from the rear lid wall 160c. A rotation shaft that extends coaxially with 161 may be provided, and the rotation shaft may be rotatably supported at the center of the front lid wall 160b.
(2) In carrying out the present invention, the rotating body RD may be provided in the gaming machine main body B or the front door D, unlike the first embodiment.
(3) In the implementation of the present invention, unlike the first embodiment, the operation button 140c has at least a transparent portion visible by the player from the front, and the mirror surface of the rotating body RD and the reflector 170a through the portion. You may form so that 171 can be visually recognized.
(4) In carrying out the present invention, the rendering operation device BG may be provided on the ball tray 120 unlike the first embodiment.
(5) In implementing the present invention, the error information output from the main controller 300 to the hall computer HC via the external terminal board 400 is limited to that based on the magnet and vibration described in the first embodiment. For example, in the same way as the clear signal described in the above embodiment, the hall computer HC via the connector N10 of the external terminal board 400 is used as error information, such as ball lending, full tank, out of ball, and abnormalities in game information. May be output.
(6) In carrying out the present invention, the rotating body RD is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be, for example, a hollow sphere.
(7) In implementing the present invention, the position of the vibration motor 200f described in the first embodiment with respect to the vibration plate 200d may be changed as appropriate.

  For example, as the motor main body 214 of the vibration motor 200f moves away from the center of the front-rear direction center line Q (see FIG. 7) to the rear, the seesaw-like shape is based on the left-right direction center line P (see FIG. 7) of the vibration plate 200d. The vibration increases. Accordingly, the vibration of the operation button 140c is also increased. Conversely, the closer the motor body 214 is to the center of the front-rear direction center line Q, the smaller the seesaw-like vibration with respect to the left-right direction center line P (see FIG. 7) of the vibration plate 200d. Accordingly, the vibration of the operation button 140c is also reduced.

  Here, when the motor main body 214 that is the vibration center of the vibration motor 200f is assembled to the vibration plate 200d so as to be positioned at the center of the center line P in the left-right direction, the vibration plate 200d is not accompanied by seesaw-like vibration. The upper and lower left and right annular spacers 220c and 220c vibrate in the thickness direction under expansion and contraction.

Further, the motor main body 214 of the vibration motor 200f may be changed so as to be assembled to the vibration plate 200d at a position shifted from the position shown in FIG. 7 to the left or right of the center line Q in the front-rear direction.
(8) Further, in carrying out the present invention, the distance from the center line P in the left-right direction of the left side cover 220a and the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c described in the fourth embodiment may be appropriately changed. In addition, the left-side cover 220a and the upper and lower left-side annular spacers 220c having a U-shaped vertical cross section may be changed so as to be displaced rearward from the center line P in the left-right direction.

Further, instead of the left cover 220a and the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c, the right cover 220b and the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d are assembled to the vibration plate 200d so as to be displaced forward or backward from the lateral center line P. It may be.
(9) Further, in implementing the present invention, in the vibration mechanism VM described in the fifth embodiment, the support position of the vibration motor 200f with respect to the vibration plate 200d is farther away from the bottom of the isosceles triangle. In the vibration plate 200d, the vibration of the rear portion is larger than the base of the isosceles triangle in FIG.

  Further, as the support position of the vibration motor 200f with respect to the vibration plate 200d approaches the bottom of the isosceles triangle, the vibration of the rear portion of the vibration plate 200d with respect to the bottom of the isosceles triangle in FIG. It becomes smaller and approaches the vibration of the front part than the base of the isosceles triangle of the vibration plate 200d.

When the vibration motor 200f is supported by the vibration motor 214 on the bottom side of the isosceles triangle of the vibration plate 200d, the vibration plate 200d has the spacers 220c and 220d as a whole. And it vibrates in the vertical direction under the expansion and contraction of 220e.
(10) In implementing the present invention, the reflector 170a may be an opaque plate.
(11) In carrying out the present invention, in the rotation mechanism RM described in the first embodiment, the rotation shaft 153 is not a support plate 141 but a longitudinal length that integrally extends from the housing 130 into the operation button 140c. The extended holding portion may be rotatably supported by the shape holding member. According to this, the rotation mechanism RM is supported separately from the operation button 140c regardless of the displacement of the operation button 140c. Note that the above-described long holding member is formed so as to extend from the housing 130 into the operation button 140c through the long hole portion formed vertically in the peripheral wall of the operation button 140c, and rotates as described above. The shaft 153 is rotatably supported.
(12) In practicing the present invention, a cylinder is formed coaxially and integrally with the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c described in the first embodiment with the same material as the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c. Alternatively, a cylinder may be formed between the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d coaxially and integrally with the same forming material as the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c. Accordingly, the screw 230a is fastened to the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a through the left cover 220a, the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c, and the cylinder between them. The screw 230b is fastened to the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a through the left cover 220b, the upper and lower left annular spacers 220d, and the cylinder between them.

  Here, the cylindrical boss protrudes from the fastening portion of the screw 230b of the inclined upper wall 146a into the button base 140a through the upper and lower annular spacers 220c, the cylinder between them and the left cover 220a, and the cylindrical boss The screw 230b is fastened to the female screw portion formed coaxially therein so that the left cover 220a, the upper and lower left annular spacers 220c, and the cylinder between them are sandwiched between the inclined upper wall 146a.

Further, the cylindrical boss protrudes from the fastening portion of the screw 230b of the inclined upper wall 146a into the button base 140a through the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d, the cylinder between them and the left cover 220b, and the cylindrical boss The screw 230b is fastened to the female screw portion formed coaxially with the right cover 220b, the upper and lower right annular spacers 220d, and the cylinder between them is clamped between the inclined upper wall 146a.
(13) In carrying out the present invention, the cylinder is formed coaxially and integrally with the upper and lower front annular spacers 220f described in the fourth embodiment with the same forming material as the upper and lower front annular spacers 220f. It may be. Accordingly, the screw 230c is fastened to the inclined upper wall 146a of the button base 140a through the front cover 220e, the upper and lower front annular spacers 220f, and the cylinder between them.
