Description

  It relates to gaming machines.

  A spinning machine (slot machine) is a multi-row game machine in which a plurality of symbols are arranged on the outer periphery when a game start instruction device (start lever) is operated after a predetermined number of game medals have been inserted. The cylinder (reel) rotates, and as a result of stopping the rotation using a rotation stop device (stop button) for stopping the rotation, a combination of predetermined symbols (for example, “777” on the effective line) )), The game type is generally shifted to a special gaming state that is more profitable for the player than the normal gaming state {the gaming state in which the lottery probability of the winning combination is higher than in the normal state}. is there. Here, in the slot machine, there may be a case where an image for production for enhancing the fun of the game is displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal in a form synchronized with the rotation operation and the stop operation of the reel. In many cases, when a stop button or the like is operated, a game result is predicted and enjoyed while comparing a design displayed on the reel with an image for performance displayed on the display.

  In addition, the pachinko game machine has a symbol called “special symbol” variably displayed on the display section such as 7-segment when the game ball enters the start opening (start chucker). Is in a specific mode (for example, “7”), a special game state that is more profitable for the player than the normal game state {contents that a special winning opening (attacker) that is normally closed is opened under predetermined conditions] Is a type that shifts to the so-called “digipachi” (conventional “first-class gaming machine”). Here, in order to reduce the burden of display control of special symbols that are directly linked to the interests of the player, in addition to the aforementioned “special symbols”, it is referred to as “decorative symbols” for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game. The symbol to be displayed may be variably displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal having a size larger than that of the display unit in a form synchronized with the variation of the special symbol. And when the change of the special symbol is started, the decorative symbol also starts to change accordingly, and when the special symbol stops in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the decorative symbol also changes to the predetermined mode (for example, “777”). And many things are comprised so that a player can recognize clearly that transfer to a special game was decided because the decoration design stopped in the predetermined mode.

  Such a mechanism is common to many game machines of this type, but the program capacity for controlling the operation of the game machine is to prevent mixing of illegal programs (guaranteeing the validity of the program provided by the machine manufacturer). The upper limit of the capacity is strictly regulated from the viewpoint, and in addition to the program for implementing the gaming specification, the gaming machine is cheated (for example, for the slot of the game medium and the outlet) Many programs for preventing illegal acts are also implemented to protect against unauthorized access to obtain game media by unauthorized means.

For example, a so-called “basic random number” that affects the outcome of the game, specifically, a “winning random number” associated with the transition of a special game or a winning combination can be cited. “CPU” is synonymous with what is well known in the art, and is not limited to the architecture (CISC, RISC, number of bits, etc.) used, processing performance, or the like. “Power interruption (power interruption)” means that the power supply voltage supplied to the gaming machine falls below a certain level regardless of whether the power switch provided on the gaming machine is operated or not. This also includes shutting down the power supply due to unforeseen circumstances such as unit damage or power outages. “ROM” is synonymous with what is well known in the art, and physically retains information (for example, “1” for a device configuration that conducts when a current for reading data is applied, It will be “0” if the device configuration is not.) RWM is synonymous with what is well known in the art, and electrically holds information (for example, when a current for reading data is applied, “1” is stored if it is stored, and it is not stored. (It is generally configured that backup power is supplied to some or all of the data held in the RWM when power is interrupted.) The “game state” is, for example, a special game state in which a game medal can be easily acquired and advantageous to the player (so-called jackpot game, such as a bonus game, a type 1 BB, a type 2 BB, or the like) ), The re-game probability variation game state (RT state) in which the re-game win rate is higher (or lower) than the normal game state in which the re-game win rate is a predetermined value, and the winning combination is awarded For example, an AT (assist time) state in which the stop order of the reels can be notified, an ART (assist replay time) state in which the RT state and the AT state are combined, and the like. Further, even in the normal game state, there are a high-probability normal game state, a low-probability normal game state, and the like that have different lottery probabilities for transition to the RT state, AT state, and ART state. In addition, there is no problem even if the game states are combined {in addition, these game states and functions (for example, a lottery to shift to the AT state, an output of a notification instruction related to the stop order of reels, etc.) control the game progress. There is no problem even if all are mounted on the main control board side}.

The game medals paid out from the medal payout device H pass through the coin shooter D90 and are paid out from the discharge port D240. Further, on the front surface of the power supply board E, there is also provided a power switch E10 for turning on the power of the swivel type gaming machine P.

  Next, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a path (selector) of game medals inserted into the medal insertion slot D170 inside the spinning cylinder type game machine. A game medal inserted into the medal slot D170 first passes through the slot acceptance sensor D10s. The insertion acceptance sensor D10s is a mechanical double sensor, and when the game medal passes, it turns on when the two protruding mechanisms are pressed, and the game medal can normally pass through the passage. Become. Also, with such a configuration, when a foreign object that is not a game medal (for example, one having a smaller diameter than the game medal) is inserted, the two protruding mechanisms are not pressed. Such medals cannot be maintained in the standing state, and therefore cannot pass through the passage (the medals fall down) and are paid back to the discharge port D240. In addition, the insertion acceptance sensor D10s is configured to be able to determine that there is an error even when the on-time continues for a predetermined time or longer (as a result, the blocker D100 can be turned off). . The blocker D100 is configured such that game medals can pass when it is on, and game medals cannot pass when it is off.

  When the game medal normally passes through the blocker D100 (it can pass when the blocker D100 is on), it passes through the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s immediately after the passage. The throwing sensors (first throwing sensor D20s and second throwing sensor D30s) are composed of two sensors (adjacently arranged at an interval smaller than the standard diameter of the game medal), and each sensor is turned on. -Various errors (to be described later) are monitored by monitoring the OFF state (the order in which the combination of ON / OFF of the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s transitions) and the ON / OFF time. , “CH” error, “CE” error, etc.).

  Next, FIG. 4 is a front view and a perspective view of the medal payout device H in the spinning cylinder type gaming machine. The medal payout device H is in a state where there is a credit (game medal stored electronically inside the gaming machine) or a bet medal (medal inserted to start the game) and the checkout button D60 is set. This is activated when a game medal is paid out due to an operation or winning. In operation, first, the hopper motor H80 is driven to rotate the disk H50 about the disk rotation axis H50a. The game medal in the medal payout device H flows down from the game medal outlet H60 toward the discharge port D240 by displacing the discharge urging means H70 by the rotation. The payout sensors (the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s) are composed of two sensors, and the ON / OFF status of each sensor (the ON / OFF state of the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s). The order of transition of the combination of off, etc.) and the on / off time are monitored so that various errors (HP error, which will be described later) can be detected. More specifically, for example, when the game medal outlet H60 normally passes, the first payout sensor H10s = off and the second payout sensor H20s = off due to the displacement of the discharge biasing means H70. 1 payout sensor H10s = off / second payout sensor H20s = off → first payout sensor H10s = on / second payout sensor H20s = off → first payout sensor H10s = on / second payout sensor H20s = on → first payout Sensor H10s = on / second payout sensor H20s = off → first payout sensor H10s = off / second payout sensor H20s = off, so that when a movement contrary to this sensor state transition is detected It is possible to exemplify the configuration of an error. The situation where the first payout sensor H10s is off may be referred to as the first payout sensor signal being off, and the other sensors may be referred to in the same manner.

<Memory map>
Next, an example of the memory map of the main control chip in the spinning cylinder game machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The memory map shows an address space from “0000H” to “FFFFH”. Among these, the built-in ROM is assigned to the space from “0000H” to “2FFFH”, the built-in RWM is assigned to the space from “F000H” to “F3FFH”, and the space from “FE00H” to “FEBFH” is assigned. Is assigned a register area (built-in register area) built in each circuit in the main control chip. By causing the CPU to execute an instruction to access these addresses, it is possible to execute access to the corresponding hardware.

  The built-in ROM is a first ROM area that is mainly an area for controlling the progress of the game (sometimes referred to as a use area), and an area that controls processing different from the normal progress of the game mainly related to errors (not yet). A second ROM area that may be referred to as a use area), a first control area assigned to a space from “0000H” to “11FAH”, and from “1200H” to “22E4H” The first data area allocated to the first space is collectively referred to as the first ROM area, the second control area allocated to the space from “2000H” to “22E4H”, and “22E5H” to “2346H”. The second data area allocated to the space up to "is collectively referred to as a second ROM area. The first ROM area is configured to have a larger capacity than the second ROM area (in other words, the data capacity existing in the first ROM area and accessed by the CPU exists in the second ROM area and the CPU Configured to be larger than the data capacity accessed from

  The first ROM area stores a first control area in which program codes (instruction code sets for the CPU) are stored, and program data used by the program (read by the processing of the CPU based on the program codes). A first data area. In the figure, the memory map image in the first ROM area is illustrated, but the number of bytes in each area and the presence / absence of an unused area are merely examples.

  The second ROM area stores a second control area in which program code (instruction code set for the CPU) is stored, and program data used by the program (read by the processing of the CPU based on the program code). And the second control area is configured to have a smaller capacity than the first control area (in other words, the second control area exists in the second control area and is accessed by the CPU). The program code capacity is smaller than the program code capacity existing in the first control area and accessed by the CPU), and the second data area is configured to have a smaller capacity than the first data area. (In other words, the program data capacity that exists in the second data area and is accessed by the CPU is in the first data area. It is smaller than the program data capacity to be accessed from the existing CPU). The built-in ROM has a management area in which various settings used when operating the main control chip are stored. In the figure, the memory map image in the second ROM area is illustrated, but the number of bytes in each area and the presence / absence of an unused area are merely examples.

  The first ROM area only needs to include a first control area (sometimes referred to as a use area control area) and a first data area (sometimes referred to as a use area data area). The first address in the first control area to the last address in the first data area may be referred to as a first ROM area. Further, if the second ROM area includes a second control area (sometimes referred to as a control area outside the use area) and a second data area (sometimes referred to as a data area outside the use area). Of course, the first address in the second control area to the last address in the second data area may be referred to as a second ROM area.

  Next, the built-in RWM is based on the first RWM area, which is an area for storing information mainly based on the progress of the game (sometimes referred to as a use area), and processing different from normal progress of the game, mainly related to errors. A second RWM area that is an area for storing information (sometimes referred to as outside the use area), and is assigned to a space from “F000H” to “F149H”; The first stack area allocated to the space from “F1D8H” to “F1FFH” is collectively referred to as the first RWM area, and the second work area allocated to the space from “F210H” to “F21DH” The second stack area allocated to the space from “F3F2H” to “F3FFH” is collectively referred to as a second RWM area. The space from “F1D8H” to “F1FFH” in the first RWM area is allocated with the first stack area used when the program related to the first ROM / RWM area needs to store data internally. In addition, the space from “F3F2H” to “F3FFH” in the second RWM area is allocated with the second stack area used when the program related to the second ROM / RWM area needs to store data internally. (However, the number of bytes in each area is merely an example.) The first stack area may not be included in the first RWM area, and the second stack area may not be included in the second RWM area. In such a configuration, for example, “F000H” The first RWM area is allocated to the space up to “F149H”, and the second RWM area is allocated to the space from “F210H” to “F21DH”. The first RWM region is configured to have a larger capacity than the second RWM region.

  The first RWM area only needs to include the first work area (sometimes referred to as a work area work area), and the first work area to the last address in the first stack area are included in the first RWM area. It may be referred to as a 1RWM region. The second RWM area only needs to include the second work area (sometimes referred to as a work area outside the use area), from the start address of the second work area to the last address of the second stack area. It may be referred to as a second RWM region.

  It should be noted that although there is no problem even if the address which is an unused area is changed, it is preferable to provide an unused area between the first data area and the second control area. That is, in the case of the memory map configuration as shown in FIG. 5, the program code that exists in the first control area and is accessed by the CPU, and the program code that is present in the second control area and accessed by the CPU are: Since they are arranged apart from each other on the memory map (with discontinuous addresses) and an unused area is sandwiched between them, the location of both program codes on the program source code or dump list can be viewed visually. It can be clearly separated (the same can be said when an unused area is sandwiched between them).

  Here, the ROM mounted on the main control board M may be configured not to provide an unused area (an unfilled area) in order to prevent a program or the like modified by an illegal act from being written. It is preferable (for example, all unused areas are filled with zeros, and used areas are filled in young addresses and written). In addition, in order to prevent the first control area and the first data area from referring to data that is not normally referred to due to noise or fraudulent behavior, unused data (for example, in a gaming machine with different specifications) It is preferable not to provide data to be used or data used only for testing at the development stage. In addition, the first control area, the first data area, the second control area, the second data area, the first work area, and the second work area are arranged in a young address and used in the area (in the area). (For example, “0010H” to “0050H” in the first control area in the range of “0000H” to “11FAH” are not set as unused areas). It is preferable to do. In this example, all the bits in the unused area are “0”, and any bit other than the unused area is “1” (not “0”). ing).

  Here, the structure which concerns on the rotating type game machine P which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated succinctly.

<Triggers and scope of RWM initialization>
First, the trigger and range of initialization of the first RWM area will be described.
(1) When the power change recovery cannot be performed normally when the setting changer is operating, data 0 is set in the first RWM area (“F000H” to “F1FFH”).
(2) When the setting changer is operating, except when the power failure recovery cannot be executed normally. In the first RWM area (“F000H” to “F1FFH”), set value data, interrupt counter, built-in random number processing random number, Data 0 is set in a range ("F008H" to "F1FFH") excluding the soft random number initial value and the RT state number.
(3) When power is restored from power off The work area (first work area) of the first RWM area ("F000H" to "F1FFH") and the area excluding the maximum usage amount of the first stack area ("F14AH" to "F1D7H") )) Is set to data 0.

Next, the trigger and range of initialization of the second RWM area will be described.
(1) When the setting change device is operating Data 0 is set in the second RWM area (“F200H” to “F3F5H”) excluding the stack usage amount when the setting changing device is operating.
(2) When power is restored from power off The work area (second work area) of the second RWM area ("F200H" to "F3FFH") and the area excluding the maximum usage amount of the second stack area ("F200H" to "F20FH") ”And“ F21EH ”to“ F3F1H ”).

<Maximum usage of stack area>
Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the maximum amount of use of the stack area in the rotating game machine P will be described. The range of the first stack area is “F1D8H” to “F1FFH”, and the range of the second stack area is “F3F2H” to “F3FFH”. The stack usage location in the first stack area is the “game progress main processing → shifted frame number creation processing → control control execution processing → drawing / kicking control processing → specified address data set processing interrupt occurrence location” corresponding to the main processing. After being used in order, after being used for “interrupt processing” corresponding to interrupt processing, it is configured to be used in the order of “power shutdown recovery processing → interrupt activation processing” corresponding to power shutdown recovery processing. In addition, the stack usage location in the second stack area is configured to be used for “symbol stop signal output processing” corresponding to main processing (also referred to as non-interrupt processing). Note that the usage method of the stack area and the cumulative amount (number of bytes) of the usage amount are configured as shown in FIG.

<First work area>
Next, data stored in the first work area in the first RWM area will be described with reference to FIG. The data stored in the first work area is item 1, item 2 and item 3 shown in FIG. 7, and “setting value data” in item 1 is stored at the smallest address, and item 3 The “stack pointer temporary storage buffer” is stored at the largest address. In addition, the address is shown to increase as it goes down. From the smallest address, the top of item 1 → the bottom of item 1 → the top of item 2 → the bottom of item 2 → the item 3 “Top row → bottom row of item 3”.

<Second work area>
Next, data stored in the second work area in the second RWM area will be described with reference to FIG. The data stored in the second work area is configured as shown in FIG. 8, and the “stack pointer temporary storage buffer 2” shown at the top of the figure is stored at the smallest address, "Second payout sensor abnormality detection data" shown at the bottom of the figure is stored at the largest address. The address is illustrated so as to increase as it goes down. Further, items, contents, and data (details of data) are configured as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, when processing is executed in the first ROM / RWM area, when the processing in the second ROM / RWM area is called and executed, the stack pointer set in the first stack area is set. Is stored (saved) in the “stack pointer temporary save buffer 2” of the second RWM area (details will be described later).

<Backup period when power is turned off>
Next, the backup period of the built-in RWM when a power interruption occurs will be described.
(1) In the state where the main control board M is mounted on the swivel type gaming machine P, when the power is turned off after the power is turned on, the built-in RWM is backed up for a period of about 60 days. With this configuration, the built-in RWM is backed up even when the game hall is closed for a long time of about one week, and business can be performed smoothly.
(2) When the power is turned off after the power is turned on and all harnesses are removed from the main control board M (when the main control board M is not mounted on the revolving game machine P), a period of about 1 second The built-in RWM is backed up. With this configuration, even if all the harnesses are removed from the main control board M and connected to the spinning game machine P in order to execute an illegal game, it takes 1 second to change the harness. Since it takes the above time, the built-in RWM has not been backed up at the time when an unauthorized board is connected to the spinning game machine P, and it is possible to prevent an unauthorized game from being executed.

<Processing when game medals are inserted>
Next, processing when a game medal is inserted will be described. The insertion of the game medal can be executed during the period from the start of the game to the reception of the start lever D50, and cannot be executed during the error display, the set value confirmation and the game medal settlement. Further, the blocker signal is turned on in order to allow the insertion of game medals through the medal insertion slot D170. If the predetermined time (for example, 326.84 ms) has not elapsed since the input acceptance sensor signal was turned on from off, the blocker signal is turned on after waiting until the predetermined time elapses, and the input is performed. The number display LED is lit. The method for betting game medals is as follows.
(1) Inserting game medals from credit by operation of bet button D220 When the bet button operation signal is turned on from off, the number of inserted coins is within the upper limit of credit (50 in this example) and the specified number (3 in this example) The amount within the specified number is added and the amount within the specified number is subtracted from the credit. In addition, an insertion number display LED corresponding to the insertion number is turned on. The bet button D220 according to this example is configured to bet three game medals by operating once (so-called MAX bet button), but the configuration of the bet button is not limited to this, A plurality of bet buttons including a bet button capable of betting three game medals by one operation and a bet button capable of betting one game medal by one operation may be provided (one time). There may be a bet button that can bet two game medals by operating.
(2) Game medal insertion through the medal insertion slot D170 The game medal insertion process through the medal insertion slot D170 is performed according to the insertion acceptance sensor signal, the first insertion sensor signal, and the second insertion sensor signal. And by monitoring the order of passage.

<Minimum stop reception waiting time>
The minimum stop reception waiting time is the minimum time from the time when the operation of a certain stop button is received until the time when the operation of the stop button that stops next to the certain stop button is received, and the stop button D40 is used as the minimum stop reception waiting time. At the time of accepting the operation, a timer for a predetermined period {for example, 15.715 ms, which is larger than the maximum error time (for example, 2.245 ms) corresponding to one interrupt} is set, and the next stop button The measurement range is just before reception. The specific calculation formula for the minimum stop reception waiting time is, for example,
Minimum stop acceptance waiting time = timer value × timer measurement time−maximum error time due to interruption = 7 × 2.245 ms−2.245 ms
= 13.47 ms
It is like this.

<Credit (storage device)>
Next, processing related to credit will be described.
(1) Credit Display Method The number of game medals stored in the credit is displayed on the credit number display device D200.
(2) Processing at the time of game medal insertion When re-game is not activated, if the maximum prescribed number of games (3 in this example) has already been betted, or if re-game is active, The game medals inserted in can be stored up to the upper limit of credits (50 in this example). Further, the game medal stored in the credit is bet when the three-sheet insertion sensor signal is turned on from off.
(3) When game medals are won by winning The game medals won by winning are configured to store game medals in credits at intervals of 107.81 ms that do not exceed the upper limit of credit (50 in this example). ing.
(4) Credit settlement processing When there is no game medal bet when re-game is not activated, or when the settlement button D60 is accepted when re-game is activated, all stored game medals are It is configured to pay back from the discharge port D240.

<Processing when paying out game medals>
Next, a process when the medal payout device H pays out a game medal will be described with reference to FIG. First, (a) in the upper part of FIG.

  (A) in the figure is a timing chart according to the case where the first payout sensor signal and the second payout sensor signal are detected within a predetermined time in a state where the hopper motor drive signal is on. First, when the game medal payout from the medal payout device H is started and the hopper motor drive signal is on, the first payout sensor H10s detects the game medal that has been paid out, and the first payout sensor signal is From off to on. Thereafter, the period A shown in the figure has elapsed, the game medals being paid out are detected by the second payout sensor H20s, and the second payout sensor signal is turned on from off. Note that the first payout sensor signal remains on.

  Thereafter, the period B shown in the figure elapses, and the second payout sensor signal is turned from on to off when the second payout sensor H20s does not detect the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H. Note that the first payout sensor signal remains on. Thereafter, the period (C-B) shown in the figure elapses, and the first payout sensor signal is changed from on to off by the first payout sensor H10s not detecting the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H. Become. In this manner, in the process until the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H reaches the discharge port H240, in the situation where the hopper motor drive signal is on, “first payout sensor signal OFF and second payout sensor”. Signal off → first payout sensor signal on and second payout sensor signal off → first payout sensor signal on and second payout sensor signal on → first payout sensor signal on and second payout sensor signal off → first payout sensor signal When it is “OFF and the second payout sensor signal is OFF”, it is determined that one game medal is normally paid out. The payout sensors (the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s) are composed of two sensors, and the ON / OFF state of each sensor (sensor signal) (the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor). The order of transition of the ON / OFF combination of H20s, etc.) and the on / off time are monitored so that various errors can be detected.

The first payout sensor signal is on and the second payout sensor signal is off, and the second payout sensor signal is off, and the first payout sensor signal is on and the second payout sensor signal is on. Since the first payout sensor signal is on and the second payout sensor signal is turned on and the second payout sensor signal is on, the first payout sensor signal is kept on. As a specific example of the time value that can be taken during normal payout execution of C, which is a certain period,
“A <31.82 ms”, “13.94 ms ≦ B ≦ 65.35”, “13.94 ms ≦ C ≦ 65.35”, and details will be described later.

  Next, (b) in the lower part of FIG. (B) in the figure shows that, during the period from when the hopper motor drive signal is turned off after the payout control time 6008.21 ms elapses until 108.81 ms elapses, the hopper motor drive signal is turned on and one game medal is paid out. It is a timing chart which illustrated the case. First, under the condition that the hopper motor drive signal is on, the hopper motor drive signal is turned off when the payout control time 6008.21 ms elapses. Thereafter, the period of X shown in the figure elapses, and the first payout sensor signal is turned from OFF to ON when the first payout sensor H10s detects a game medal. Thereafter, the period A shown in the figure elapses, and the second payout sensor signal turns from OFF to ON when the second payout sensor H20s detects a game medal. Note that the first payout sensor signal remains on. Thereafter, the period B shown in the figure elapses, and the second payout sensor signal is turned from on to off when the second payout sensor H20s does not detect the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H. Note that the first payout sensor signal remains on. Thereafter, the period (C-B) shown in the figure elapses, and the first payout sensor signal is changed from on to off by the first payout sensor H10s not detecting the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H. Become. As described above, when the first payout sensor signal is detected during the period from when the hopper motor drive signal is turned off after the payout control time 6008.21 ms has passed to when 108.81 ms elapses, the hopper motor drive signal is turned on, and thereafter When the first payout sensor signal and the second payout sensor signal are detected within the period, the game medal is paid out.

  In addition, as a specific example of the time value that can be taken at the time of normal payout of X, which is a period from when the payout control time 6008.21 ms elapses until the first payout sensor signal is turned on, “X <108 .81 ms ", and details will be described later.

<Indication monitor display>
Next, with reference to FIG. 10, instruction display on the acquired number display device D190 will be described. In the present embodiment, the reel stop order (push order), which is the most profitable in a certain game, can be notified by the acquired number display device D190 as an instruction display, and is executed when an operation of the start lever D50 is accepted. The instruction display is executed based on the instruction number determined after the internal lottery. In particular,
(1) When the instruction number is “0”, the instruction display is not executed (no display).
(2) When the instruction number is “1”, the acquired number display device D190 instructs to press the stop button D40 corresponding to the order of “left reel M51 → middle reel M52 → right reel M53”. The display “= 1” is displayed.
(3) When the instruction number is “2”, the acquired number display device D190 instructs to press the stop button D40 corresponding to the order of “left reel M51 → right reel M53 → middle reel M52”. The display “= 2” is displayed.
(4) If the instruction number is “3”, the acquired number display device D190 instructs to press the stop button D40 corresponding to the order of “middle reel M52 → left reel M51 → right reel M53”. The display “= 3” is displayed.
(5) When the instruction number is “4”, the acquired number display device D190 instructs to press the stop button D40 corresponding to the order of “middle reel M52 → right reel M53 → left reel M51”. The display “= 4” is displayed.
(6) When the instruction number is “5”, the acquired number display device D190 instructs to press the stop button D40 corresponding to the order of “right reel M53 → left reel M51 → middle reel M52”. The display “= 5” is displayed.
(7) When the instruction number is “6”, the acquired number display device D190 instructs to press the stop button D40 corresponding to the order “right reel M53 → middle reel M52 → left reel M51”. The display “= 6” is displayed.
The display is configured as described above.

  Note that the display period when the instruction display is displayed is from when the operation of the start lever D50 is accepted until when the previous reel is stopped.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 11 to FIG. 14, an outline of the flow of processing in the rotating type gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described.

<Main operation flowchart for processing at power-on>
First, FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing that is executed for the first time by the CPU of the main control board M after turning on the power of the revolving game machine P (or at the time of system reset or user reset). . In this case, generally, the program code is executed in order from the program code arranged at the address (ie, the first control area) of “0000H” in the built-in ROM.

  First, in step 102, after turning on the power of the spinning machine P, the CPU sets the Q register to “F000H” based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 104, the CPU executes function setting of the main control chip based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 106, the CPU calculates a checksum based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area, and checks the first RWM and the second RWM (for example, held in the calculated checksum and checksum area). Based on the checksum data that is stored, it is checked whether or not the data stored in the built-in RWM is correctly held by power-off / power-off recovery), and power-off recovery data is generated. Next, in step 108, the CPU determines whether all of the door switch D80, the setting door switch M10, and the setting key switch M20 are on based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. In the case of Yes in step 108, in step 110, the CPU determines whether or not the power-off recovery data generated in step 108 is abnormal based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 110, in step 112, the CPU sets a setting change flag (a flag that is turned on when there is an operation for executing the setting change device process) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Determine whether it is on. In the case of Yes in step 112, a setting change device process to be described later is executed. In the case of Yes in step 110, the setting change device process described later is executed regardless of whether the setting change flag is on or off.

  On the other hand, if No in Step 108, that is, if any of the door switch D80, the setting door switch M10, or the setting key switch M20 is off, or if No in Step 112, that is, the setting change flag is off. If there is, the CPU determines in step 114 whether the power-off recovery data generated in step 106 is normal based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. When it is determined that the power-off recovery data is normal, the power-off process is being executed and the checksum of the RWM area is normal. In the case of No in step 114, in step 116, “E1”, which is a display related to the backup error, is displayed on the acquired number display device D190 (for example, an error number is set in the register area), and the revolving type gaming machine Stop the operation of P. The backup error is an unrecoverable error.

  In the case of Yes in step 114, in step 118, the CPU restores the stack pointer based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 120, the CPU initializes an unused area in the RWM area based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 122, the CPU executes reading of the input port based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 124, the CPU activates the set timer interrupt based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area, and returns to the process at the time of power-off according to the returned stack pointer. When the timer interrupt process is set, a predetermined address (for example, “10AFH”) in the first control area is set as the start address of the timer interrupt process. In addition, all areas having a program for executing the interrupt process are the first control area. Also, the interrupt processing configuration in the pachinko gaming machine is the same, the start address is a predetermined address (for example, “10AFH”) in the first control area, and the area having the program for executing the interrupt processing is All are the first control region.

  Although not shown, it is preferable that the initial value (value at the start of processing) of the temporary storage area (such as the RWM area) mounted on the main control board M is not a value at which the special game is executed. (In order to prevent a special game from being erroneously executed when a process for determining whether or not to execute a special game is executed due to noise or fraud immediately after the program processing is started). Although not shown, when a random number such as a winning random number is stored in the RWM area of the main control board M, a dedicated storage area is secured and in the byte storing the information related to the random number. It is preferable to configure to store only the information related to the random number (not to store other information such as various timer values) (when operating other data stored in the same 1 byte, due to noise etc. (To prevent the information related to random numbers from being rewritten).

<Main operation flowchart related to execution of game progress main processing>
Next, FIG. 12 is a main operation flowchart according to the execution of the game progress main process. First, in step 202, the CPU sets a stack pointer based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 204, the CPU executes a process for starting a game based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area, and proceeds to step 206. The process at the time of starting the game is configured to execute the processes in the order of “set operation state” → “turn on setting change flag” → “execute processing related to game medal insertion acceptance”. “Execution of processing relating to acceptance of insertion of game medals” means that, when re-playing is not in operation, blocker D100 is turned on (game medals can be passed), and acceptance of game medals is started. When not operating, blocker D100 (blocker signal) is turned on (game medal passable state) and game medal insertion acceptance is started. When replaying is activated, credits are not full. The blocker D100 (blocker signal) is turned on and an automatic insertion operation (game medals are bet automatically) at the time of re-game operation is executed.

  Next, in step 206, the CPU determines whether or not a game medal is bet based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 206, in step 208, the CPU executes display processing when waiting for the insertion of game medals based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area (details will be described later), and proceeds to step 210. In the case of Yes in step 206, the process proceeds to step 210 without executing the process of step 208. Next, in step 210, the CPU executes game medal insertion and checkout of the settlement button D60 based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. When a game medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 or when the bet button D220 is operated, a process at the time of game medal insertion (details will be described later) is executed. In addition, when the settlement button D60 is operated, the game medals bet or the game medals stored in the credits are paid out.

Next, in step 212, the CPU executes an acceptance check of the start lever D50 based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. In particular,
(1) The CH error detection flag is checked, and when the game medal stays in the insertion acceptance sensor D10s, “CH” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190 and the game is stopped. ).
(2) When the dwell time of the insertion acceptance sensor D10s has elapsed and the fullness detection sensor signal is on, “FE” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190 and the game is stopped, and in other cases, the process proceeds to (3). .
(3) The number of game medals and the prescribed number are compared. If they match, the process proceeds to (4). Otherwise, the start lever cannot be received and the process proceeds to step 214.
(4) When the start lever sensor signal is switched from OFF to ON, the start lever is accepted. In other cases, the start lever is accepted.

  Next, in step 214, the CPU determines whether or not the input of the start lever D50 has been received based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. In the case of Yes in step 214, the internal random number is fetched and the setting change flag is turned off (a state in which the setting cannot be changed). Then, in step 216, the CPU stores the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Based on this, an internal lottery is started (details will be described later). If No in step 214, the process proceeds to step 206. Next, in step 218, the CPU starts the rotation of the reel M50 based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area (when the minimum game time has elapsed after the execution of the process in step 216, the CPU starts the rotation of the reel M50). If the minimum game time has not elapsed, the system waits until the minimum game time elapses).

  Next, in step 220, the CPU creates a shifted frame number when there is a shifted frame number creation request based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 222, the CPU executes a rotation stop acceptance check based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area, that is, the reel stop acceptance is made possible when all the rotation sensor passes. In this case, the reel stop acceptance is impossible (details will be described later). Next, in Step 224, the CPU executes whether or not the stop button D40 has been operated based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. In the case of Yes in step 224, in step 226, the CPU accepts the operation of the stop button based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area, determines the stop position of each reel, and proceeds to step 228. In the case of No in step 224, the process proceeds to step 228 without executing the process in step 226.

  Next, in step 228, the CPU executes a stop check of all reels (left reel D41, middle reel D42 and right reel D43) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area (all reels are stopped). And the operation of the start lever D50 and the stop button D40 is finished). Next, in step 230, the CPU determines whether or not all reels have stopped based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. If yes in step 230, the process proceeds to step 232, and if no, the process proceeds to step 218.

Next, in step 232, the CPU executes display determination based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Specifically, the display determination is
(1) As a result of executing the display determination, when the symbol combination display is shifted, “E5” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190 and the operation of the gaming machine is stopped.
(2) The CH error detection flag is checked, and if a game medal is retained in the insertion acceptance sensor D10s, “CH” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190 and the game is stopped. Shifts to the processing of (3). In addition, when the game is resumed by canceling the error, the process (2) is executed again.
(3) When the residence time of the insertion acceptance sensor D10s has elapsed and the full detection sensor signal is on, “FE” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190 and the game is stopped. If the game is resumed by canceling the error, the process proceeds to step 234.
The display determination is performed in the order described above.

  Next, in step 234, the CPU executes payout of game medals by winning based on data in the first ROM / RWM area (executed when there are game medals to be paid out). Next, in step 236, the CPU checks the end of the operating state as a game end check based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area, and if it ends, executes the end processing according to the operating state, The game progress main process in step 200 will be executed again.

<Main operation flowchart for interval interrupt processing execution>
Next, FIG. 13 is a main operation flowchart according to the execution of the interval interrupt process. First, in step 302, the CPU executes an interrupt start process (for example, saving of data held in a register in the CPU, clearing of an interrupt flag, etc.) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 304, the CPU executes a power-off process (details will be described later) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 306, the CPU updates the interrupt counter based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 308, the CPU generates input port data based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. In particular,
(1) Read input port 0 and save the level data. Further, the setting key switch signal and the setting / reset button signal rising data are stored, and the setting key switch signal falling data are stored according to the state of the door switch signal and the setting door switch signal.
(2) Read the input port 1 and save the level data and rising data.

Next, in step 310, the CPU executes the rotation drive management (drive control of the reel M50) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 312, the CPU determines the output port 0 (the motor signal of the left reel M51, the blocker signal and the hopper drive signal) and the output port 1 (the motor signal of the middle reel M52) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. And output data to the motor signal of the right reel M53). Next, in step 314, the CPU outputs the output data to the control command transmission and output port 2 (the input number display LED signal and the sub control data strobe signal) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. If the control command data exists, the following steps (1) to (4) are executed. In other cases, the following steps (3) to (4) are executed.
(1) Output control command clear data to the output ports 7 and 8 (sub control data signals 1 to 16).
(2) The sub-control data strobe signal is turned on, and output data is output to the output port 2 (the number-of-insertion-display LED signal and the sub-control data strobe signal).
(3) The sub-control data strobe signal is turned off, and output data is output to the output port 2 (the number-of-insertion-display LED signal and the sub-control data strobe signal).
(4) The control command clear data is output to the output ports 7 and 8 (sub control data signals 1 to 16).

Next, in step 316, the CPU executes LED display based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Specifically, output data of various LEDs such as the credit number display device D200 and the acquired number display device D190 are output to the output ports 3 and 4 (LED digit signal and LED segment signal). Next, in step 318, the CPU outputs the sub notification data to the output port 6 (sub control data signals 17 to 24) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 320, the CPU executes timer measurement in the order of a 1-byte timer and a 2-byte timer based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 322, the CPU executes error management based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Specifically, error checks are executed in the following order.
(1) The set value is checked, and if the set value is not within the range, “E6” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190 and the operation of the gaming machine is stopped.
(2) The internal random number is checked, and if an abnormal frequency of the clock input to the RCK terminal or an internal random number update abnormality is detected, “E7” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190 and the operation of the gaming machine To stop.
(3) When the blocker signal is on (passable state) or the game medal is passing, the first insertion sensor signal and the second insertion sensor signal are inspected, and CP error (illegal passage) and CE error (game medal retention) Run the check.
As described above, the spinning machine P according to the present embodiment is configured such that the process related to the error check is executed based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area.

  Next, in step 324, the CPU outputs signal output data to the external terminal board to the output port 5 based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 326, the CPU restores the register, permits the interrupt, and returns from the maskable interrupt process by the PTC 0 as the process at the end of the interrupt based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area.

<Main Operation Flowchart Related to Setting Change Device Process Execution>
Next, FIG. 14 is a main operation flowchart according to the execution of the setting change device process. First, in step 402, the CPU sets the stack pointer based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area, and starts the operation of the setting change device. Next, in step 404, RWM initialization is executed. Next, in step 406, the CPU starts PTC0 (interrupt timer) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 408, based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area, the CPU displays “88” on the acquired number display device D190 as an indication that the setting change device is operating, and the setting display LED ( The set value is displayed at (not shown), and the process proceeds to step 410. Next, in step 410, the CPU adds 1 to the set value when the set / reset button signal is turned on from off based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. If it is out of the range, 1 is set to the set value (specifically, if the set / reset button M30 is operated when the set value display is “6”, the set value is displayed. Becomes “1”). Next, in step 412, the CPU determines whether or not the start lever signal has been turned on from off based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. If NO in step 412, the process proceeds to step 410. If YES in step 412, in step 414, the CPU determines that the door switch signal and the set door switch signal are based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. It is determined whether or not the setting key switch signal is turned from on to off in the on state. If No in step 414, the process of step 414 is executed again. If Yes, the process proceeds to step 416. Next, in step 416, the CPU turns off the setting display LED (not shown) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area and displays “00” on the credit number display device D200 and the acquired number display device D190. After that, the game progress main process is executed.

<Error handling>
Next, error processing according to this example will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.

  First, FIG. 15 is an example of an error process that can be executed by the rotary gaming machine P according to the present example. As shown in the figure, in this example, a recoverable error that enables error cancellation by operating the door switch D80 and the setting door switch M10, and error cancellation by operating the door switch D80 and the setting door switch M10. An impossible non-recoverable error is provided.

<Recoverable error>
The recoverable error in this example is as follows.
(1) HE error: Error when it is determined that the game medal in the medal payout device H is empty (for example, “HE” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190).
(2) HP error: error when it is determined that game medals are stuck in the game medal payout port of the medal payout device (for example, “HP” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190)
(3) FE error: Error when it is determined that the game medal auxiliary storage is full (for example, “FE” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190).
(4) CP error: error when it is determined that the inserted game medal has been illegally passed (for example, “CP” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190)
(5) CH error: error when it is determined that game medals have accumulated in the insertion acceptance sensor D10s (for example, “CH” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190)
(6) CE error: error when it is determined that game medals have accumulated in the first insertion sensor D10s or the second insertion sensor D20s (for example, “CE” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190)
The non-recoverable errors are as described above. The errors (1) to (3) are game medal payout errors, and the errors (4) to (6) are game medal insertion errors. .

Further, the unrecoverable error in this example is as follows.
(1) E1 error: Error when power-off recovery cannot be executed normally (for example, “E1” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190)
(2) E5 error: An error when the symbol combination display is abnormal when all reels are stopped (for example, “E5” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190).
(3) E6 error: Error when the set value is out of range (for example, “E6” is displayed on the acquired number display device D190)
(4) E7 error: An error when detecting an abnormality in the frequency of the clock input to the RCK terminal for random number update or an update state abnormality in the internal random number (16-bit random number) (for example, “ E7 ”)
The non-recoverable error is as above. The error processing is not limited to the one shown in the figure, and a new error processing may be provided as a recoverable error or a non-recoverable error.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a timing chart relating to error processing that can be executed by the spinning cylinder gaming machine P according to the present example.

  First, (1) in the figure is a timing chart relating to HE error. First, the payout of game medals by the medal payout device H is started, and the hopper motor drive signal is turned on from off. Thereafter, even when the payout control time of A (for example, 6008.21 ms) shown in FIG. 6 has elapsed, no payout of game medals has been detected, and thus the hopper motor drive signal is turned from on to off. When the first payout sensor signal and the second payout sensor signal are on, the game medal payout operation is continued until both the signals are turned off. Thereafter, since the first payout sensor signal is OFF during the period B (for example, 108.81 ms) shown in the figure, it is determined that the game medal in the medal payout device H is empty, and an HE error occurs. Detected. Thereafter, the game medals are replenished in the medal payout device H, and the HE error is canceled by operating the door switch D80 and the setting door switch M10 in a predetermined operation mode, and the payout of the game medals is resumed. It will be. Also, the payout control time A (for example, 6008.21 ms) shown in the figure is longer than the period B (for example, 108.81 ms) shown in the figure.

  Next, (2-1) in the figure is a timing chart relating to the HP error. First, the payout of game medals by the medal payout device H is started, and the hopper motor drive signal is turned on from off. Thereafter, when the first payout sensor H10s detects a game medal, the first payout sensor signal is turned on from off, and thereafter, the first payout sensor signal is on and the second payout sensor signal is off. HP (31.82 ms in this example) becomes an HP error. Note that A is a period during which the second payout sensor signal is kept off after the first payout sensor signal is on and the second payout sensor signal is off, similar to A described above with reference to FIG. . That is, the range of the time value of the period A determined to be a normal game medal payout is “A <31.82 ms”, and the time period A is determined to be a normal game medal payout. If the value is out of the range, it is determined that an HP error has been detected.

  Next, (2-2) in the figure is a timing chart relating to the HP error. First, the payout of game medals by the medal payout device H is started, and the hopper motor drive signal is turned on from off. Thereafter, the first payout sensor H10s detects a game medal, so that the first payout sensor signal is turned on, and then the second payout sensor H20s detects a game medal, so that the second payout sensor signal is turned off. The first payout sensor signal and the second payout sensor signal are both turned on. After that, when both the first payout sensor signal and the second payout sensor signal are turned on, the period during which the second payout sensor signal is turned on becomes B (65.35 ms in this example) shown in FIG. HP error. Note that B is a period during which the second payout sensor signal is kept on after the first payout sensor signal is on and the second payout sensor signal is on, similar to B described above with reference to FIG. . That is, the range of the time value of the period B determined to be a normal game medal payout is “B <65.35 ms”, and the time period during which the period B is determined to be a normal game medal payout. If the value is out of the range, it is determined that an HP error has been detected.

  Next, (2-3) in the figure is a timing chart relating to the HP error. First, the payout of game medals by the medal payout device H is started, and the hopper motor drive signal is turned on from off. Thereafter, the first payout sensor H10s detects a game medal, so that the first payout sensor signal is turned on, and then the second payout sensor H20s detects a game medal, so that the second payout sensor signal is turned off. The first payout sensor signal and the second payout sensor signal are both turned on. Thereafter, a period C shown in the figure (in this example, 13.94 ms or more) has elapsed, and the second payout sensor signal is not detected by the second payout sensor H20s. From on to off. After that, after both the first payout sensor signal and the second payout sensor signal are turned on, the period during which the first payout sensor signal is on becomes D (65.35 ms in this example) shown in FIG. HP error. That is, an HP error occurs when the period during which the second payout sensor signal is on is 13.94 ms or longer and the period during which the first payout sensor signal is on is 65.35 ms. In the period D shown in the figure, the first payout sensor signal is kept on after the first payout sensor signal is turned on and the second payout sensor signal is turned on, similar to the period C described in FIG. It is a period. Note that the period D is longer than the period C in (2-3).

  Next, (3) in the figure is a timing chart relating to the FE error. First, when the insertion acceptance sensor D10s detects a game medal, the insertion acceptance sensor signal is turned on from off. Thereafter, the game medal auxiliary storage is filled with the inserted game medal, and the full detection signal is switched from OFF to ON. Thereafter, in a situation where the full detection signal is on, the insertion acceptance sensor D10s no longer detects a game medal, so that the insertion acceptance sensor signal is turned from on to off. Thereafter, the full detection signal remains on at the timing when the period A shown in the figure (452.00 ms in this example) elapses from the timing when the insertion acceptance sensor signal is turned on, indicating that an FE error has occurred. Is displayed on the acquired number display device D190. Thereafter, after the error factor is removed (the game medal is removed from the game medal auxiliary storage), the display related to the FE error is erased, and the FE error is canceled. Note that the FE error is displayed when the game medal insertion waiting period, the start lever operation reception waiting period, or after all reel rotation stops, the game medal auxiliary storage is full (the full detection signal is turned on). ) And FE error are displayed, but until the period A (452.00 ms in this example) shown in FIG. The display indicating an error is configured not to be executed.

  Next, (4) in the figure is a table relating to CP errors. First, the upper table in FIG. 4 (4) shows on / off of the first insertion sensor signal and the second insertion sensor signal when a game medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 and it is determined as normal insertion. It is a table concerning an order. As shown in the figure, “first input sensor signal OFF, second input sensor signal OFF” → “first input sensor signal ON, second input sensor signal OFF” → “first input sensor signal ON, second input” A game medal is normally inserted in the order of “sensor signal ON” → “first input sensor signal OFF, second input sensor signal ON” → “first input sensor signal OFF, second input sensor signal OFF”. It is determined that it has been determined that the game medal has been inserted. In addition, when the first input sensor signal and the second input sensor signal shown in the upper table are not in the order of ON / OFF, it is determined that the input is abnormal and an error occurs. In the case where the first input sensor signal and the second input sensor signal shown in the lower table in the figure are in the on / off sequence, no error occurs. Specifically, “first input sensor signal OFF, second input sensor signal OFF” → “first input sensor signal ON, second input sensor signal OFF” → “first input sensor signal OFF, second input sensor signal” When the order is “OFF”, it is not determined that the input is normal, but an error is not caused.

  Next, (5) in the figure is a timing chart relating to the CH error. First, in a situation where the reel M50 is rotating (a situation where a CH error cannot be displayed), a game medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot D170, and the insertion acceptance sensor D10s detects the game medal to insert it. The reception sensor signal turns from off to on. Thereafter, when the insertion acceptance sensor signal is on for a predetermined period (452.00 ms in this example), it is determined that the game medal is staying in the vicinity of the insertion acceptance sensor D10s, resulting in a CH error ( However, since the reel M50 continues to rotate, the display related to the CH error is not executed. Thereafter, since the state where the insertion acceptance sensor signal is on is continued at the timing when the reel M50 stops rotating, the display relating to the CH error is executed by the acquired number display device D190. The display relating to the CH error is configured to be executed after a game medal insertion waiting period, a start lever operation reception waiting period, or after all reels have stopped rotating.

  Next, (6) in the figure is a timing chart relating to the CH error. As shown in the figure, the period from when the first input sensor signal is on and the second input sensor signal is off until the first input sensor signal is off and the second input sensor signal is on is A. The period from when the first input sensor signal is on and the second input sensor signal is on until the first input sensor signal is off and the second input sensor signal is on is B, and the first input sensor signal is on. The period from when the second closing sensor signal is turned on to when the first closing sensor signal is turned off and the second closing sensor signal is turned on is C. In addition, the range of time values of each period determined to be a normal game medal insertion is “9.47 ms ≦ A <188.27 ms”, “8.24 ms ≦ B <122.22 ms”, “9.47 ms ≦ C <188.27 ms ”, and it is determined that a CE error has been detected if any period falls outside the time value range determined to be a normal game medal insertion. Yes.

  When a recoverable error shown in the figure occurs, a display corresponding to the generated error is displayed on the acquired number display device D190 and the game is stopped. Further, when the error that has occurred is resolved, the display on the acquired number display device D190 is returned to the display before the error occurred, and then the game is resumed.

<Unrecoverable error>
Next, an unrecoverable error will be described. First, the cause of each error that becomes an unrecoverable error will be described in detail below.

  First, the cause of the E1 error is that when the power is turned on, (1) when the power-off process is not normally executed, or (2) when it is determined that the checksum of the RWM area is abnormal (RWM When the addition result is not 0).

  Next, the cause of the E5 error is when a combination of symbols that is not intended to be displayed at the time of display determination (when all reels are stopped) is displayed.

  Next, the cause of the E6 error occurs when the set value is inspected in the interrupt process and the set value is out of range as the inspection result.

Next, the cause of the E7 error is as follows.
(1) When an abnormality in the frequency of the clock input to the RCK terminal for random number update is detected The external clock input to the RCK terminal is used as a clock for updating the random number value of the random number circuit (RDG) 16-bit random number ch0. Because it is used, the internal concession gain register (CIF) that is set when the frequency is abnormal is constantly monitored by software. If the frequency of the external clock falls below 1/4 of the frequency of the internal system clock, the external clock Is determined to be abnormal, and data having a frequency abnormality is set in the third bit of the internal information register (CIF). In the interrupt processing, the third bit of the internal information register (CIF) is inspected, and an error occurs when data with frequency abnormality is set.
(2) Random number circuit (RDG) When there is an abnormality in the update state of the 16-bit random number ch0 to ch3, data with update abnormality is set in the fourth to seventh bits of the internal information register (CIF). The fourth bit of the internal information register (CIF) indicates an abnormality in the update state of ch0, the fifth bit indicates an abnormality in the update state of ch1, the sixth bit indicates an abnormality in the update state of ch2, and the seventh bit This shows an abnormality in the update state of ch3. In the interrupt processing, the fourth to seventh bits of the internal information register (CIF) are inspected, and an error occurs when random update abnormality data is set.

  Next, processing at the time of displaying an error relating to each error that becomes an unrecoverable error will be described in detail below.

  First, as processing at the time of displaying the E1 error or the E5 error, the interrupt is prohibited, the output ports 0 to 6 are turned off, and then an unrecoverable error (E1) occurring in the acquired number display device D190 as an error display. An error display corresponding to the error or E5 error) is displayed and the game is stopped.

  Next, as processing at the time of displaying the E6 error or the E7 error, the output ports 0 to 6 are turned off, and then an error display is made. An error display corresponding to (error) is displayed and the game is stopped.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 17 to FIG. 69, the details of the processing in the rotating type gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described.

<Processing in the first ROM / RWM area>
First, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the program start process in the spinning cylinder gaming machine according to the present embodiment. First, after turning on the spinning machine P, in step 1002, the CPU sets the RWM upper address in the Q register based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 1004, the CPU sets power supply return data abnormality based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 1006, the CPU sets a vector address (upper order) based on the data in the first ROM / RWM area.

  Next, in Step 5564, the CPU determines whether or not the medal insertion inspection flag is on based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 5564, in step 5566, the CPU determines whether or not the blocker signal is on based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. If NO in step 5566, that is, if the blocker signal is OFF, the process proceeds to the next process. In the case of Yes in step 5564 or step 5566, in step 5568, the CPU acquires the previous game medal passing state based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In this embodiment, game medal passing states 0 to 3 are provided as game medal passing states. In the game medal passing state update process described later, the first insertion sensor signal and the second medal passing state are processed. The game medal passing state is configured to be updated based on the on / off state with the insertion sensor signal. The specific on / off status of the first insertion sensor signal and the second insertion sensor signal corresponding to the game medal passing state is “game medal passing state 0 = first insertion sensor signal off and second insertion” “Sensor signal OFF”, “game medal passing state 1 = first insertion sensor signal OFF and second insertion sensor signal ON”, “game medal passing state 2 = first insertion sensor signal ON, and second insertion sensor signal” “Off”, “Game medal passing state 3 = first insertion sensor signal on and second insertion sensor signal on”.

  Next, in step 5570, based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area, the CPU determines whether one of the first sensor signals or the second sensor signals is on. . In the case of Yes in step 5570, in step 5572, the CPU sets a medal insertion inspection flag based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 5570, the process proceeds to step 5618 in the second game medal insertion check process 2 in FIG. Next, in step 5574, the CPU determines whether or not the first input sensor signal is on and the second input sensor signal is off based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area.

  In the case of Yes in step 5574, a CP error (an error that occurs when it is determined that the passing order of game medals is abnormal using the first insertion sensor and the second insertion sensor) is set in step 5576. The processing from step 5576 to step 5586 is executed when the first insertion sensor signal is on and the second insertion sensor signal is off (when the current game medal passing state is the game medal passing state 2). It is processing. Next, in Step 5578, the CPU determines whether or not the previous game medal passing state is 1 or 3 based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 5578, in step 5580, the CPU determines whether or not the previous game medal passing state is 0 based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of Yes in step 5580, in step 5582, the CPU sets the first insertion sensor passage check time based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area, and proceeds to step 5584. In the case of No in step 5580, the process proceeds to step 5584 without executing the process in step 5582. As described above, since the processing of step 5576 to step 5586 is the case where the current game medal passing state is the game medal passing state 2, the previous game medal passing state is the game medal passing state 0. Is the first process of “first input sensor signal OFF and second input sensor signal OFF → first input sensor signal ON and second input sensor signal OFF”. The first input sensor passage check time is set, and the period during which the first input sensor signal is on can be measured. If the previous game medal passing state is 2, the current game medal passing state is 2, so that the result is No in step 5580 and the CP error is not detected.

  Next, in step 5584, the CPU generates a CE error (an error that occurs when it is determined that a game medal has accumulated in the first insertion sensor or the second insertion sensor) based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. set. Next, in step 5586, the CPU has exceeded the passing time of the first closing sensor D20s based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area (in this example, as described above, the first closing sensor signal is ON). If a certain period exceeds 188.27 ms, it is determined whether or not the passage time of the first input sensor has been exceeded). If No in step 5586, it is determined that a CE error has not been detected, and the process proceeds to the next process.

  If NO in step 5574, that is, if the first input sensor signal is ON and the second input sensor signal is not OFF, in step 5588, the CPU is based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Then, it is determined whether or not the first closing sensor signal and the second closing sensor signal are on. In the case of Yes in step 5588, in step 5590, the CPU sets a CP error based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Note that the processing from step 5590 to step 5594 in FIG. 5 and step 5602 to step 5608 in FIG. 64 is when the first insertion sensor signal is ON and the second insertion sensor signal is ON (the current game medal passing state is a game The processing is executed in the case of medal passing state 3). Next, in Step 5592, the CPU determines whether or not the previous game medal passing state is 0 or 1 based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 5592, in step 5594, the CPU determines whether or not the previous game medal passing state is 2 based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of Yes in step 5594, the process proceeds to the second game medal insertion check process 2 in step 5600.

<Processing in the second ROM / RWM area>
Next, FIG. 64 is a flowchart of the second game medal insertion check process 2 according to the subroutine of step 5600 in FIG. First, in step 5602, the CPU sets the second insertion sensor passage check time based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area, and proceeds to step 5604. Note that in the case of No in step 5594 in FIG. 63 described above, the process proceeds to step 5604 without executing the process in step 5602. As described above, the processing of step 5590 to step 5594 in FIG. 63 and step 5602 to step 5608 in FIG. 63 is the case where the current game medal passing state is the game medal passing state 3, so When the medal passing state is the game medal passing state 2, “first insertion sensor signal ON and second insertion sensor signal OFF → first insertion sensor signal ON and second insertion sensor signal ON”. Since this is the first processing, the second closing sensor passage check time is set in step 5602 so that the period during which the second closing sensor signal is on can be measured. If the previous game medal passing state is 3, the current game medal passing state is also 3, so that the result is No in step 5594 and no CP error is detected.

  Next, in Step 5604, the CPU sets a CE error based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Next, in Step 5606, the CPU determines whether or not the passing time of the second closing sensor D30s has been exceeded based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 5606, in step 5608, based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area, the CPU has passed the passing time of the second input sensor D30s (in this example, as described above, the second input sensor If the period during which the signal is on exceeds 188.27 ms, it is determined whether or not the passing time of the second closing sensor has been exceeded). In the case of No in step 5606, in step 5608, based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area, the CPU has exceeded the passage time of the first input sensor D20s (in this example, as described above, the first input sensor If the period during which the signal is on exceeds 188.27 ms, it is determined whether or not the passage time of the first closing sensor has been exceeded). In the case of No in step 5608, it is determined that a CE error has not been detected, and the process proceeds to the next process.

  If NO in step 5588 in FIG. 63 described above, in step 5610, the CPU sets a CP error based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Note that the processing from step 5610 to step 5616 is executed when the first insertion sensor signal is OFF and the second insertion sensor signal is ON (when the current game medal passing state is the game medal passing state 1). It is processing. Next, in step 5612, the CPU determines whether or not the previous game medal passing state is 0 or 2 based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. If the previous game medal passing state is 1, the current game medal passing state is 1, so that the result is No in step 5612 and no CP error is detected. If the previous game medal passing state is 3, it is determined that the game medal passing order is normal, and no CP error is detected.

  In the case of No in step 5612, in step 5614, the CPU sets a CE error based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 5616, based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area, the CPU has exceeded the passing time of the second making sensor (in this example, as described above, the second making sensor signal is on). If the period exceeds 188.27 ms, it is determined whether or not the passing time of the second closing sensor has been exceeded). In the case of No in step 5616, it is determined that a CE error has not been detected, and the process proceeds to the next process.

  Further, in the case of No in step 5570 in FIG. 63 described above, in step 5618, the CPU clears the medal insertion inspection flag based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 5620, the CPU clears the first closing sensor passage check time and the second closing sensor passage check time based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Next, in Step 5622, the CPU determines whether or not the previous game medal passing state is 0 based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 5622, in step 5624, the CPU determines whether or not the previous game medal passing state is 2 based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 5624, the process proceeds to step 5626. Note that the processing from step 5618 to step 5628 is executed when the first insertion sensor signal is off and the second insertion sensor signal is off (when the current game medal passing state is the game medal passing state 0). It is processing. In the case of Yes in step 5622 or step 5624, the process proceeds to the next process.

  Next, in step 5626, the CPU sets a CP error based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Next, in step 5628, the CPU determines whether or not the previous game medal passing state is 1 based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. In the case of No in step 5628, in step 5630, the CPU stores error display request data based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area, and proceeds to the next processing. Note that Step 5578, Step 5586, Step 5592 in FIG. 63, Step 5606, Step 5608, Step 5612 or Step 5616 in FIG. 64 also shifts to Step 5630 to store the error display request data. . If the previous game medal passing state is 0, the current game medal passing state is also 0, so that the answer is YES in step 5622 and no CP error is detected. Further, when the previous game medal passing state is 2, as described in (4) of FIG. 15, “first input sensor signal ON and second input sensor signal OFF → first input sensor signal”. When it is “OFF and the second insertion sensor signal is OFF”, it is not considered that a normal game medal has been inserted and the number of credits and bets does not increase, but an error (CP error) does not occur. Has been. If the previous game medal passing state is 1, it is determined that the game medal passing order is normal, and no CP error is detected. As described above, in the present embodiment, as processing in the second ROM / RWM area, when the blocker signal is on or the medal insertion inspection flag is on, the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s When an inspection is executed and a gaming medal passing abnormality is detected, a display request corresponding to the detected error (in FIG. 63 and FIG. 64, two errors are a CP error and a CE error) is executed. It is configured to

  As described above, the present embodiment is configured to determine the detection of an error related to the insertion of a game medal in the interrupt process (interrupt process in the second ROM / RWM area) (determine in steps 5550 and 5600). Yes. In addition, the time when the first input sensor signal is turned on or off and the time when the second input sensor signal is turned on or off are managed in interrupt processing (interrupt processing in the second ROM / RWM area). Has been. On the other hand, the main loop process (main loop process in the first ROM / RWM area) is configured to determine whether or not a game medal has been normally inserted, but the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s The passing order is confirmed, and the time when the first closing sensor signal is turned on or off and the time when the second closing sensor signal is turned on or off are not confirmed. The timer measurement process in the interrupt process is the process of step 5500. After executing the timer measurement process, an error related to the insertion of a game medal in the interrupt process (interrupt process in the second ROM / RWM area) is executed. The execution of complicated processing is not sandwiched until the processing for determining the detection is executed (or executed within one interrupt processing), that is, it relates to the insertion of the game medal after the timer measurement is executed. The time until the error detection is determined can be shortened. On the other hand, in the case where the main loop process (main loop process in the first ROM / RWM area) is configured to execute the process for determining the error detection related to the insertion of the game medal, for example, in step 1600, the error Even if the timer measurement is executed in the interrupt process, the error detection determination is not executed until the process of step 1600 is executed. It takes a long time to determine the detection of an error related to the insertion of a game medal. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, it is configured to determine the detection of an error related to the insertion of a game medal in the interrupt process (interrupt process in the second ROM / RWM area) (determine in steps 5550 and 5600). By shortening the time from the execution of the timer measurement to the determination of the error detection related to the insertion of the game medal, a more accurate error detection process can be executed.

Note that if the answer is Yes in Step 5708, No in Step 5718, or No in Step 5720, the process proceeds to Step 5724.

  Next, in step 5724, the CPU determines that the HP error {the error described above in (2-1) to (2-3) in FIG. 15 is the first payout sensor based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not an error occurs when a game medal stays in the second payout sensor. In the case of No in step 5724, in step 5726, the CPU sets the RWM address of the first payout sensor abnormality detection data based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area.

In the case of No in step 5876, in step 5877, the CPU sets the re-game identification signal 7 based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area, and proceeds to step 5894. Note that if the result of Step 5866, Step 5870, Step 5872, or Step 5876 is Yes, the process proceeds to Step 5894. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5862, the process proceeds to step 5878. The type 1 BB and the replay identification number are merely examples, and there is no problem even if they are changed.

  In step 5878, the CPU sets conditional device information clear data based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area. Next, in Step 5879, the CPU determines whether or not it is time to output the conditional device information based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area.

Next, in step 5898, the CPU restores the stack pointer from the second RWM area based on the data in the second ROM / RWM area, and returns to the caller of the first ROM / RWM area.

  Next, FIG. 70 is an example of processing in the stack area when the processing of the second ROM / RWM area is called when the processing of the first ROM / RWM area is executed, which is applicable to the present embodiment. . In the figure, a case where the process of the second ROM / RWM area is called during the process of the first ROM / RWM area is illustrated. Note that the processing in the figure is an example, and the order of processing in the first stack area and the second stack area, the storage area, and the like are not limited to those in the figure. First, in (1), a stack pointer X (indicating the address of the first stack area) is set in the first stack area. After that, in (2), after the processing by the first ROM / RWM area is executed, all registers α are saved in the first stack area, and the processing of the second ROM / RWM area is called. Thereafter, in (3), the stack pointer A is saved to a predetermined address in the second RWM area (the address A of the stack pointer is temporarily stored in the second RWM area). In (1) to (3), the first stack area is used as the stack area.

  Thereafter, in (4), the stack pointer Y (indicating the address of the second stack area) is set in the second stack area. Thereafter, in (5), processing is executed in the second ROM / RWM area, and the address of the stack pointer becomes B (indicating the address of the second stack area). In (4) to (5), the second stack area is used as the stack area.

  Thereafter, in (6), the processing of the second ROM / RWM area ends, and the stack pointer A (indicating the address of the first stack area) stored in the second RWM area is restored. After that, in (7), after returning to the caller of the first ROM / RWM area, all registers α saved in the first stack area are restored, and then the processing of the first ROM / RWM area is executed. It becomes. As described above, in this embodiment, when the process of the second ROM / RWM area is called while the process of the first ROM / RWM area is being executed, the data related to all the registers and the return address are saved in the first stack area. At the same time, after the address of the stack pointer, which is the address of the first stack area, is stored in the second RWM area, the processing of the second ROM / RWM area is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in the figure. For example, all registers may be saved by processing in the second ROM / RWM area and saved in the second stack area.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the spinning-reel game machine according to the present embodiment, the first RWM area (or the register area) is processed by the CPU based on the program code arranged in the second ROM area. ) Can be referred to, and an illegal act is performed on the gaming machine such as error detection and error display (for example, illegal access to a game medium insertion port or payout port to illegally access the game medium) And so on), the program for preventing fraud to prevent such a situation can be executed by the process in the second ROM / RWM area, so that the process and the area related to the progress of the game can be clearly separated. This makes it easy to verify the legitimacy of the fraud prevention program.

  Also, a program that exists in the first control area and is accessed from the CPU = a program for implementing the game play specification, and a program that exists in the second control area and is accessed from the CPU = a program for preventing fraud By doing so, the placement positions of the program for implementing the game playability specification and the program for preventing fraud can be clearly separated visually on the program source code or on the dump list. It becomes easy to verify the sex artificially. In addition, since the program that exists in the first control area and is accessed by the CPU is located at a lower address than the program that exists in the second control area and is accessed by the CPU, the CPU executes first. It is easy to limit the program to be executed to a program that exists in the first control area and is accessed by the CPU (that is, a program for implementing game play specifications).

  Also, a program that exists in the first control area and is accessed from the CPU = a program for implementing the game play specification, and a program that exists in the second control area and is accessed from the CPU = a program for preventing fraud In this case, the master-slave relationship between the program for implementing the gaming specification and the program for preventing fraud can be established, and the processing result of the program for preventing illegal acts will be taken over to obtain the main gaming specification. A program for implementation can be executed. Here, since the processing result of the program for implementing the main gaming specification can be highly confidential information, it is possible to output information for misconduct notification from a subsidiary program for preventing misconduct that can be output externally. If it is updated implicitly, there is a risk that security may be reduced, but the execution timing of the program for preventing fraud can be limited to the case where there is this call instruction. As a result of visually clarifying the execution timing of the program for preventing illegal acts on the dump list, the update timing of the processing result is also clarified on the program source code or the dump list. It is possible to artificially verify the legitimacy of anti-fraud programs (including the timing of updating results) To become. Here, the program for fraud prevention tends to have different specifications for each gaming machine manufacturer, so it is highly necessary to verify the validity artificially, but by configuring in this way, It is possible to reduce labor for verifying a program for preventing fraud.

  As described above, the configuration of the above embodiment is within the range even when applied to pachinko gaming machines. An example of applying the above-described configuration to a pachinko gaming machine will be described in detail below. The configuration of the memory map of the main control chip (the size of the area, the configuration of the address, etc.) in the pachinko gaming machine described in detail below is the same as the configuration of the memory map in the rotary gaming machine described above with reference to FIG. The case where it is is illustrated.

<Processing in the first ROM / RWM area>
After powering on the pachinko machine, non-interrupt processing is executed. That is, after turning on the power of the pachinko machine and making initial settings (register initialization, input / output port settings, etc.), the main control board checks the input port of the RWM clear button, and the power supply unit It is determined whether or not the reset button (RWM clear button) has been operated, that is, whether or not an operation of intentionally clearing the contents of the RWM has been performed by a game hall manager or the like. When the RWM clear button is operated, the main control board clears all the RWM contents on the main control board side. Next, the main control board transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RWM of the main control board is cleared to the sub-main control unit side.

  If the RWM clear button is not operated, the main control board checks the contents of the RWM area on the main control board (for example, the checksum recorded at the time of power failure and the information stored in the RWM area) Comparison with quantity). Next, the main control board determines whether the content of the RWM is not normal based on the check result (whether the information at the time of power interruption is not backed up to the RWM correctly). If the data backed up in the RWM is abnormal, the RWM clear process described above is executed. On the other hand, when the data backed up in the RWM is normal, the main control board acquires various information commands at the time of power interruption stored (backed up) in the RWM in the main control board, and acquires the acquired various information commands. Transmit to the sub-main control unit side. Next, the main control board is triggered by a scheduled interrupt related to the game progress main process on the main control board side (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms. In this example, the interrupt cycle is T {As a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, the interrupt processing is executed}, and until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached, the main control board performs various random number update processes (for example, (Increment process of random number counter) is repeatedly executed.

<Processing in the first ROM / RWM area>
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The main control board executes the game progress main process based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. Note that when an interrupt process occurs, the process of the first ROM / RWM area is always executed. First, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interruption period T (for example, a hardware interruption every about 1.5 ms), the main control board detects the entry of a game ball at various entrances Process). Next, the main control board calls up the processing of the second ROM / RWM area.

<Processing in the second ROM / RWM area>
Next, the main control board executes a vibration error management process (a process for determining whether a condition for generating a vibration error and a condition for canceling the vibration error are satisfied). Next, the main control board returns to the caller of the first ROM / RWM area. The vibration error is an error that occurs when the vibration sensor detects that the gaming machine vibrates illegally (a vibration of intensity or acceleration that cannot occur when playing normally). . As a position where the vibration sensor is provided, for example, it may be configured to be provided on the back side (as viewed from the player) of the big winning opening at the lower right side of the game area (referenced to the center of the game area), and configured as such. In such a case, the player is placed at a position where the player cannot see (or hardly). Since the vibration sensor is a device that does not detect a vibration error if the game is proceeding normally, it is preferable to arrange the vibration sensor at a position where it is not visible (or difficult) to the player. The vibration sensor converts the mechanical energy due to vibration (impact) into electrical energy by the piezoelectric ceramic plate formed of piezoelectric ceramics in a plate shape, and the converted electrical energy is printed via the lead wire. A signal that is a vibration error can be transmitted to a pachinko machine by being output from the connector to the outside (for example, the main control board) through a filter circuit and an amplifier circuit mounted on the board. Yes. In this example, only the process related to the occurrence of the vibration error is exemplified as the process in the second ROM / RWM area. However, the process related to the occurrence of an error other than the vibration error is not limited to this. You may comprise so that it may perform as a process in a RWM area | region.

<Processing in the first ROM / RWM area>
Next, the main control board obtains an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process {a process for acquiring an auxiliary game content determination random number, which is a symbol related to the opening of an electric accessory attached to the start port (so-called electric Chu)}. Execute. Next, the main control board executes an electric accessory drive determination process {determination of whether or not an electric accessory attached to the start port (so-called electric chew) can be opened and a mode of opening}. Next, the main control board executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process {a process of acquiring a main game symbol content determination random number, which is a symbol related to the opening of a big prize opening (so-called attacker)}. Next, the main control board executes a main game symbol display process (a process for deciding the main game symbol determination result, stop symbol, variation mode, etc., and variably displaying the main game symbol). Next, the main control board executes a special game operation condition determination process (a process for determining whether or not the special game operation condition is satisfied). Next, the main control board executes a special game control process (a process for executing drive control of a special prize opening during execution of the special game). Next, the main control board executes a prize ball payout command transmission control process (a process for controlling a command to be transmitted to the prize ball payout control board). Next, the main control board executes external signal output processing (information output processing to an external terminal board, hall computer, etc.). Next, the main control board executes a control command transmission process (a process for transmitting a command set in each process to the sub-main control unit side), and returns to the process executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. . As described above, the process in the second ROM / RWM area is executed by being called by the process in the first ROM / RWM area after the interrupt process is executed as the process in the first ROM / RWM area. Will be.

  As described above, the above-described configuration can also be applied to pachinko gaming machines.
