Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine to which a predetermined number of prize balls are given when a launched game ball enters a prize opening.

In conventional ball game machines, a large number of game nails and winning holes are arranged on the surface of the game board, and the launched game balls flow down while colliding with a large number of game nails, and enter any of the winning holes or out holes. It is like that. When a game ball enters the winning opening, a predetermined number of winning balls are given to the winning opening, and no winning ball is given even if a gaming ball enters the out opening. In other words, the state of the game nail (inclination adjustment) greatly affects whether or not many prize balls can be obtained.
In addition, a random number is extracted when a game ball enters a start winning port which is one of the winning ports, and if the extracted random number is a specific value, a large number of winning balls are set. The big hit game that the big prize opening is opened is started.

According to the ball game machine according to claim 1, the third party who controls the pachinko parlor may receive the winning percentage at the winning mouth described in the instruction manual of the ball game machine and the notified cumulative winning number or By comparing the cumulative number of award balls, it can be determined whether or not the pachinko parlor is changing the state of the game nail extremely, and the angle of the game nail installed in the pachinko machine is inspected one by one. Compared with this, it is possible to make a determination easily and in a short time.
In addition, existing pachinko machines always have a front frame, an inner frame, and an outer frame. Therefore, even if it is a pachinko machine created by a plurality of pachinko makers, it is possible to use the same method for informing. Therefore, the third party who controls the pachinko parlor only needs to memorize only one method.
However, if the method of informing only the opening of the front frame, etc., in order to solve such troubles, for example, game balls may be caught on the game board surface or the payout device may be clogged during the game. When a salesperson of a pachinko parlor opens the front frame or the like, there is a new problem that the possibility that the player will see the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number becomes extremely high. In other words, if a player who does not know the winning percentage at the winning mouth described in the instruction manual, etc., sees the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number, the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number is appropriate. However, the player feels that there are few players, and the notification of the cumulative number of winning prizes or the cumulative number of winning balls will cause troubles between the player and the game shop.
Therefore, in the bullet ball game machine according to the first aspect, the condition for informing the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number is to open both the front frame and the inner frame. If a trouble occurs during a game, either the front frame or the inner frame is released to solve the problem, but the problem that the trouble cannot be solved without opening both frames first occurs. do not do. In other words, if it is not done intentionally, the state where both the front frame and the inner frame are open does not occur, and the occurrence of a situation in which the player can see the cumulative prize number or cumulative prize ball number is extremely low. I can do it.

According to the ball game machine described in claim 2, the third party who controls the pachinko parlor can receive the winning percentage at the winning mouth described in the instruction manual of the ball game machine and the notified cumulative winning number or By comparing the cumulative number of award balls, it can be determined whether or not the pachinko parlor is changing the state of the game nail extremely, and the angle of the game nail installed in the pachinko machine is inspected one by one. Compared with this, it is possible to make a determination easily and in a short time.
In addition, existing pachinko machines always have a front frame, an inner frame, and an outer frame. Therefore, even if it is a pachinko machine created by a plurality of pachinko makers, it is possible to use the same method for informing. Therefore, the third party who controls the pachinko parlor only needs to memorize only one method.
However, if the method of informing only the opening of the front frame, etc., in order to solve such troubles, for example, game balls may be caught on the game board surface or the payout device may be clogged during the game. When a salesperson of a pachinko parlor opens the front frame or the like, there is a new problem that the possibility that the player will see the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number becomes extremely high. In other words, if a player who does not know the winning percentage at the winning mouth described in the instruction manual, etc., sees the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number, the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number is appropriate. However, the player feels that there are few players, and the notification of the cumulative number of winning prizes or the cumulative number of winning balls will cause troubles between the player and the game shop.
Therefore, in the ball and ball game machine according to claim 2, the condition for informing the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number is that the previous front frame opening is within a predetermined period from the previous front frame opening or the previous front frame closing. If that is the case. Pachinko machine troubles may occur many times on the same pachinko machine, but the probability of the trouble occurring in a very short time is low. In other words, if it is not done intentionally, the situation where the front frame is continuously opened does not occur, and the occurrence of a situation in which the player can see the cumulative number of winning prizes or the cumulative number of winning balls can be made extremely low. .

According to the ball game machine described in claim 3, the third party who controls the pachinko parlor, the winning percentage in the winning mouth described in the instruction manual of the ball game machine and the cumulative number of prizes notified or By comparing the cumulative number of award balls, it can be determined whether or not the pachinko parlor is changing the state of the game nail extremely, and the angle of the game nail installed in the pachinko machine is inspected one by one. Compared with this, it is possible to make a determination easily and in a short time.
In addition, existing pachinko machines always have a front frame, an inner frame, and an outer frame. Therefore, even if it is a pachinko machine created by a plurality of pachinko makers, it is possible to use the same method for informing. Therefore, the third party who controls the pachinko parlor only needs to memorize only one method.
However, if the method of informing only the opening of the front frame, etc., in order to solve such troubles, for example, game balls may be caught on the game board surface or the payout device may be clogged during the game. When a salesperson of a pachinko parlor opens the front frame or the like, there is a new problem that the possibility that the player will see the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number becomes extremely high. In other words, if a player who does not know the winning percentage at the winning mouth described in the instruction manual, etc., sees the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number, the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number is appropriate. However, the player feels that there are few players, and the notification of the cumulative number of winning prizes or the cumulative number of winning balls will cause troubles between the player and the game shop.
Therefore, in the ball and ball game machine according to claim 3, when the front frame is opened over a long period (a period longer than the output time of the alarm sound), the condition for informing the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number It is said. When a game ball is caught on the game board surface, the trouble can be solved in a few minutes by opening the front frame and removing the game ball. In other words, if it is not done intentionally, the state where the front frame is kept open for a long time does not occur, and the occurrence of a situation in which the player can see the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number is extremely reduced. I can do it.

  By configuring the game board 1 as described above, when the game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 17 (the normal symbol operation switch 17a (see FIG. 5) detects the game ball), the normal symbol display device 7 The symbol starts to be displayed in a variable manner, and the blade member of the ordinary electric accessory is driven in accordance with the mode of the ordinary symbol stopped after a predetermined time so that the ball can enter the second start winning opening 12. Has been.

  Normally, the opening time for driving the blade member of the electric accessory is 1 time for 0.2 second opening (short opening), and 1 time for the normal symbol for the opening extension function that operates in the short time state. Three 1.0 second releases are performed (see FIG. 3).

  When a game ball enters the first start winning port 11 (the first start port switch 11a (see FIG. 5) detects a game ball), the first special symbol display device 9 starts to change, Stop after a predetermined time. Further, when a game ball enters the ordinary electric accessory which is the second start winning opening 12 (the second start port switch 12a (see FIG. 5) detects the game ball), the second special symbol display device 10 performs the second operation. The special symbol starts changing display and stops after a predetermined time.

  During the variation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the effect symbol display device 6 displays the effect variation of the pseudo symbol linked to the variation of each special symbol. As a result, the player recognizes the winning loss by the pseudo symbol on the effect symbol display device 6 arranged in the center of the game area 3. In addition, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are implemented with priority on the variation of the second special symbol (whether or not is determined) regardless of the order of entering the first starting winning port 11 and the second starting winning port 12. . Specifically, when there is a reserved memory of the first special symbol, the variation of the second special symbol is stopped and there is no second special symbol reserved memory, and the variation for the first special symbol reserved memory is started. To do. When the first special symbol and the second special symbol are in the big hit display mode, a special prize opening solenoid 14b (see FIG. 5) described later is driven. When the big prize opening solenoid 14b is driven, the door member of the big prize opening 14 is opened almost synchronously, and a game ball enters the big prize opening 14 (the count switch 14a (see FIG. 5) detects the game ball). Is configured to be possible.

  In addition, the pachinko machine in this embodiment is comprised as a probability fluctuation machine. More specifically, the games by the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment are roughly classified into a game in which the big prize opening 14 is closed and a jackpot game in which the big prize opening 14 is opened. In general, the normal probability state (hereinafter referred to as normal state) and the high probability state (hereinafter referred to as probability) that is advantageous to the player (high probability of being a big hit and easy to win) compared to the normal state. There is also a state of change).

  The special symbol consists of a probability variation symbol and a non-probability variation symbol, and the probability variation state is set so as to be able to transition after the jackpot game in the probability variation symbol, and the probability in any game state of the normal state and the probability variation state If a big hit is made with the fluctuating symbol, after the big hit game ends, the state shifts to a probability fluctuation state. Similarly, the normal state is set to be transitionable after the jackpot game with the non-stochastic variation symbol is finished, and if either of the normal state or the probability variation state is a big hit with the non-stochastic variation symbol, after the jackpot game ends, Transition to normal state.

  After the transition to the normal state, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened by a specified number of times (for example, 100 times), and the short state is reached when the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory is activated. If the variation time of special symbols and normal symbols (the time from the start of variation until the result is displayed) is shortened, the number of times the variation display is performed within a certain time is increased.

  Specifically, in the short time state of the present embodiment, the special symbol display time is shortened along with the special symbol variation time, but the normal symbol variation display is shortened. Then, the regular symbol is confirmed and displayed many times within a certain time. Therefore, the number of times that the normal symbol hits within a certain time increases, and the number of times of operation of the ordinary electric accessory also increases. In addition, since the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is set to be long (opening extension function), it becomes easy to win a large number of game balls. By making it easy for a large number of game balls to win in this way, the number of times of special symbol variation display is further increased. Can play a variety of games.

  In the probability variation state, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened similarly to the time-short state, and the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory is activated. The settings related to the shortening of various symbols and the function to open and extend the normal electric utility are the same as the short-time state, but the probability variation state increases the probability of hitting a special symbol in addition to the short-time state (as shown in FIG. 5) The gaming state (ordinary probability gaming state) is 1/300, and the high probability gaming state (probability variation state) is 1/30. Therefore, the gaming state is more advantageous to the player.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 5, when a game ball enters each winning opening, a predetermined number of winning balls are awarded to each winning opening. Specifically, when a game ball enters the first start prize opening 11, three prize balls enter the second prize winning opening 12, and when a game ball enters the second start prize opening 12, two prize balls enter the big prize opening 14. When a game ball enters, 13 award balls, when a game ball enters the first left entrance 31, 8 award balls, and when a game ball enters the second left entrance 32, 8 awards. When a ball enters the third left winning opening 33, 10 winning balls are awarded, and when a gaming ball enters the right winning opening 34, seven winning balls are awarded.

When the player operates the effect button 67, the jog dial 68, or the enter button 68, the signal is input to the sub integrated control device 83.

  The power supply board 85 is configured as a direct current power supply that generates a direct current voltage using electric power supplied from an AC power supply provided outside, and the pachinko machine 50 is operated by operating a power switch provided on the power supply board 85. Electric power is supplied to each part to constitute. The power supply board 85 is provided with a backup power supply composed of a capacitor or the like. The backup power supply stores power in the capacitor during power supply from the AC power supply, and supplies power to the main control device 80 and the like (specifically, for example, the RAM of the main control device 80) in the event of a power failure. Thereby, even after the power supply from the AC power supply is stopped, the RAM data of main controller 80 is retained for a certain period.

The backup power supply may be provided in the main control device 80 or in a device other than the power supply board 85.
The power supply board 85 outputs a power failure signal to the main controller 80 when the power supply from the AC power supply is stopped, and when the power supply from the AC power supply is performed. A supply signal is output to the control device 80.

  Next, power-on processing performed when the pachinko machine 50 is powered on will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the power of the pachinko machine 50 is turned on, the main controller 80 sets an initial value in the stack pointer (S10) and makes settings related to each interrupt process (such as setting an interrupt mode) (S11). Further, access to the RAM (also referred to as built-in RAM) of the main controller 80 is permitted (S12), the power-off flag is cleared (S13), and the process proceeds to S14.

  In S14, main controller 80 determines whether or not the RAM clear switch is in an ON state based on a signal output as a result of operation of RAM clear switch 102. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S14: Yes), the process proceeds to S23, and if a negative determination is obtained (S14: No), the process proceeds to S15.

  In S15, main controller 80 determines whether or not the information generated when the power is turned off is normal. When an affirmative determination is obtained (S15: Yes), the process proceeds to S16, and when a negative determination is obtained (S15: No), the process proceeds to S23.

  In S <b> 16, the main controller 80 calculates a determination value (checksum) in the RAM of the main controller 80. Further, the determination value of the RAM calculated by the main control device 80 at the time of a power failure and stored in a non-volatile storage means (not shown) is read, and the process proceeds to S17.

  In S17, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the newly calculated RAM determination value matches the read RAM determination value. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S17: Yes), the determination value in the RAM of the main controller 80 is regarded as normal, the process proceeds to S18, and if a negative determination is obtained (S17). : No), the process proceeds to S23.

  In S18, the main controller 80 considers that the instantaneous interruption has been recovered, clears the information generated when the power supply is interrupted, and sets the return flag to 1 (S19). It should be noted that 1 may be set to the return flag only when the symbol effect is performed in the state where the reserved memory exists when the instantaneous interruption occurs.

  In subsequent S <b> 20, the main control device 80 transmits various commands for restoring the state before the power failure to the sub integrated control device 83. If a momentary interruption occurs during the execution of the symbol effect, a command for instructing display of a power return screen described later, a symbol designation command transmitted for the symbol effect, etc. are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. May be. In the subsequent S21, the main controller 80 performs initialization of peripheral devices of the CPU and permits an interrupt (S22), and proceeds to the main routine.

  On the other hand, in S23, main controller 80 clears the entire area of RAM and performs initial setting of RAM (S24). In the subsequent S25, the main controller 80 performs initialization of peripheral devices of the CPU and permits an interrupt (S26), and proceeds to the main routine.

  Next, a main routine executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process that is executed only once from S30 to S43 is referred to as “main process”, and the process of S44 that is repeatedly executed as long as time is allowed within the remaining time after executing this main process. This is referred to as “residual processing”. The “main process” is periodically executed by the interrupt.

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S30). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. As a case where the interruption is not normal, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when power is turned on, but microcomputer runaway may be considered to be almost impossible due to recent technological improvements, and is mostly at power on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  When S30 is negative, that is, when it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S30: no), the memory is initialized (for example, a predetermined value is written to a predetermined area of the memory, and a special symbol and a normal symbol are used as an initial symbol). The initial values are written in the work area (S31), and the rest process (S44) is performed.

  If an affirmative determination is made with a normal interrupt (S30: yes), initial value random number update processing (S32), jackpot determination random number update processing (S33), jackpot symbol determination random number 1 update processing (S34), jackpot symbol determination Random number 2 update process (S35), small hit symbol determination random number update process (S36), hit determination random number update process (S37), reach determination random number update process (S38), fluctuation pattern determination random number update process (S39) ), Subsequent winning confirmation process (S40), success / failure determination process (S42), each output process (S42) such as image output process, and fraud monitoring process (S43), and the remaining until the next interrupt signal is input The initial random number update process (S44) is looped within the time.

  Next, the process at the time of power-off occurrence will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. The process at the time of power-off occurrence is called from the main routine.

  In S50, main controller 80 sets a power-off flag, then calculates a determination value (checksum) in RAM, and stores it in a non-volatile storage means (not shown) (S52). Then, main controller 80 stores information on occurrence of power interruption (game state at the time of power failure) in RAM (S53), prohibits access to built-in RAM (S54), and thereafter executes processing. Without waiting for the operation to stop due to a power failure.

  Next, the start winning process executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This process uses various random numbers such as pass / fail random numbers acquired when a game ball enters the first start winning opening 11 and the second start winning opening 12 or when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 17. In addition, the first start winning opening 11 is stored (stored) in the main control device 80 as a reserved storage, and is confirmed before the determination of whether or not the stored random number is a preset value is performed. In this process, various commands resulting from entering the second start winning opening 12 are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Thereafter, the hold memory stored when the game ball enters the first start port 11 is the first hold memory, and the hold memory stored when the game ball enters the second start port 12 is the second hold. The reserved memory stored when the game ball has passed through the memory and normal symbol operating gate 17 will be described as the normal figure reserved memory.

  In the present embodiment, the maximum number of lighting by each of the normal symbol hold number display device 8, the first special figure hold number display device 18, and the second special figure hold number display device 19 is 4 (the maximum hold memory number is However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the maximum number of memories may be eight. Even if the number of reserved memories is 0, when a game ball enters the first start winning port 11 and the second start winning port 12, or when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 17. Various random numbers such as the pass / fail random numbers acquired are stored in the main controller 80 as in the case where there is a stored number less than the maximum value.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the first start port switch 11a has detected a game ball (S100). If a negative determination is made (S100: no), the process proceeds to S130. If S100 is affirmative (S100: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of first reserved memories stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (= 4) (S105). If the determination is negative (S105: no), the process proceeds to S130, and if the determination is affirmative (S105: yes), the extracted big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number 1, the big hit symbol determination random number 2, the small hit symbol determination random number Then, an extraction random number hold storage process (S110) is performed in which the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number are stored as the first hold memory and 1 is added to the first hold memory counter indicating the number of the first hold memories.

  Subsequent to S110, the prefetch determination of the stored first reserved memory is performed (S115). Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the random number for determining the big hit is a value that causes the big hit, and if the big hit value, the type of the big hit symbol is checked. If the big hit determination is lost, it is confirmed whether or not the reach determination random number is a value that becomes super reach. If it is not a super reach, it is confirmed whether or not it is a reach value, and the variation time is confirmed from the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern. By performing the above determination, it is determined whether or not the stored random number value is a specific value that the player can expect to win a jackpot (whether or not an effect that can expect a jackpot is possible even if the player loses).

  Subsequently, a first prefetch determination command is generated from the determination result of S115 and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S120), and a first hold number instruction command indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in S110 is issued. The data is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125).

  Following the processing of S125 or the negative determinations of S100 and S105 (S100: no, S105: no), it is determined whether or not the second start port switch 12a has detected a game ball (S130). If a negative determination is made (S130: no), the process proceeds to S160. If an affirmative determination is made (S130: yes), it is determined whether the number of second reserved memories stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit (= 4). (S135). If the determination is negative (S135: no), the process proceeds to S160. If the determination is affirmative (S135: yes), the extracted big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number 1, the big hit symbol determination random number 2, the small hit symbol determination random number Then, the random number for reach determination and the random number for change pattern determination are stored as the second reserved memory, and the extracted random number pending storage process (S140) is performed in which 1 is added to the second reserved memory counter indicating the second reserved memory number. The pre-reading determination of the second reserved storage stored in (1) is performed.

  Subsequently, a second prefetch determination command is generated from the determination result of S145 and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 53 (S150), and a second hold number instruction command indicating the value of the second hold storage counter added in S140 is sub The data is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 (S155), and the process proceeds to S160.

  In S160, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol operation switch 17a has detected a game ball (S160). If the determination is negative (S160: no), the process returns to the return, and if the determination is affirmative (S160: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of reserved maps stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit (= 4) ( S165). If the determination is negative (S165: no), the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative (S165: yes), the extracted winning determination random number and the winning symbol determination random number are stored as a general-purpose storage, and the general-purpose storage is stored. 1 is added to the general figure hold memory counter indicating (S170), and a general figure hold memory number instruction command indicating the value of the added general figure hold memory counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S175), and the process returns.

  When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the first and second reserved memory number instruction commands, the sub integrated control device 83 receives an instruction signal for changing each reserved memory number displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the reserved memory number indicated by the received command. This is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. Further, in the present embodiment, the normal symbol hold memory number display is not performed on the effect symbol display device 6, but it may be configured to display in response to the reception of the general symbol hold memory number instruction command. A configuration may be adopted in which the number instruction command itself is not transmitted. A configuration is also conceivable in which normal prefetch determination is performed and the determination result is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device. As a result, it is possible to implement a pre-reading notice that expects the normal electric accessory (first start port 12) to be opened. In the present embodiment, a random number for selecting the type and variation pattern of the symbol for notifying the success / failure determination result during the start winning process (big hit symbol determination random number 1, big hit symbol determination random number 2, reach determination random number, variation pattern determination random number However, it may be configured to acquire these random numbers at the time of special figure determination processing described later.

  Next, the success / failure determination process executed by the main controller 80 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This process determines whether or not to execute a special game based on the random number value extracted due to the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 11a or the second start port switch 12a (extracted random value) And a process for determining whether or not the player has won, and corresponds to the jackpot determining means of the present invention.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not a special symbol start condition is satisfied (S200). In this determination process, it is confirmed that the big hit game is not being played, and that the first special symbol and the second special symbol are not changing or being displayed in a fixed manner. If the determination is negative (S200: no), the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), it is determined whether there is a second reserved memory (S205). If the determination is affirmative (S205: yes), the process proceeds to S215. If the determination is negative (S205: no), it is determined whether or not there is a first reserved memory (S210). If the determination is negative, that is, if there is no pending storage (S210: no), a standby command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S280), and the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative (S210: yes), the process returns to S215. move on. According to the determination order of S205 and S210, the determination of whether or not the second reserved storage is appropriate is performed with priority. In this embodiment, the special symbol has a plurality of special designs (the first special symbol and the second special symbol), but the effect of the present invention does not change even if the special symbol is configured as one. Even if a plurality of special symbols can be changed at the same time, the effect is not changed.

  In S215, it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction flag is 0 (S215). The time reduction flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. When the time reduction flag value is “0”, it is not the time reduction state, and when the time reduction flag value is “1”, the time reduction state is set. That is, the main controller 80 determines. In the short time state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, the first and second special symbols is shortened, the open extension function is activated, the number of times of operation of the ordinary electric accessory is increased, and the operation time is extended as compared with the normal state. . Since the processing in the short time is a processing that differs only in the type of table used for selecting the variation pattern, the description is omitted.

  In S220, a hold memory shift process is performed (S220), whereby the oldest hold memory is determined as a target of the determination, and 1 is subtracted from the hold memory counter indicating the number of hold memories.

  In the subsequent jackpot determination random number comparison process (S225), the determination is made by comparing the jackpot determination random number value in the reserved storage that is the target of the determination with the preset determination table. Compared with the judgment value in. Two types of tables for normal probability (low probability 1/300) and high probability (1/30) are set in the success / failure determination table, and the gaming state at the time of determination is normal game (probability change flag “0”). If so, comparison is performed using a normal probability use determination table, and if a high-probability gaming state (probability variation flag “1”), comparison is performed using a high probability determination table.

  In the subsequent processing of S230, it is determined whether or not the result of the big hit determination random number comparison processing (S225) is a big hit (same as the determination value) (1/300 in this embodiment). If it is affirmation determination (S230: yes), a symbol mode setting process will be performed (S235). In the symbol mode setting process, the content of the jackpot game is determined based on the type of the hold memory (first hold memory or the second hold memory) that is the target of the success / failure determination and the jackpot symbol determination random number 1 of the hold memory that is the determination target. And the symbol mode which determines the game state after the big hit game ends is set (S235). Subsequently, a jackpot symbol selection process is performed based on the set symbol mode type and the jackpot symbol determination random number 2 of the reserved storage to be determined (S240). This is because the jackpot type (contents of the jackpot game and the game state after the jackpot game is finished) determined by the symbol mode setting is notified by the jackpot symbol from among the symbol groups set for each type of symbol mode. This is a process for determining a symbol to be displayed.

  Next, mode buffer setting processing is performed based on the symbol mode set in S235 (S245). The mode buffer is a device that stores the contents of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game determined at the time of determination of the success / failure until the end of the big hit game that sets the gaming state (the probability change flag and the short time flag that set the gaming state during the big hit game) Because it is necessary to clear). The mode buffer does not store the specific game contents (activities of the probability changing function and release extension function (time reduction function) and the number of times of operation), but stores values corresponding to each of a plurality of types of specific game contents. It has a configuration.

  Next, based on the symbol mode set in S235, an opening pattern setting process for the big winning opening 14 which is the content of the big hit game is performed (S250), and the random number for determining the reach and the variation pattern of the reserved memory which is the object of the success / failure determination is determined. Based on the random number for use, a variation pattern that becomes a variation time of the symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 and the effect symbol display device 6 is selected from the variation pattern selection table (S255). ).

  Next, the information on the selected jackpot symbol and variation pattern is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as a variation instruction signal (variation instruction command) (S260). Based on the instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received this information, the effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 and starts the variation display of symbols corresponding to the information of the big hit symbol and the variation pattern. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbols.

  If S230 is negative, that is, loses (S230: no), it is determined whether the result of the big hit determination random number comparison process (S225) is a small hit (1/300) (S265), and if it is affirmative (S265). :)), a small hit symbol is selected (S270), then a small hit game release pattern setting process is performed (S250), a variation pattern selection process corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S255), A variation instruction signal (variation instruction command) serving as variation pattern information is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S260). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on an instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and starts variable display of symbols corresponding to the information on the small hit symbol and the fluctuation pattern. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbols.

  If S265 is negative (S265: no), a lost symbol is selected (S275), and then a variation pattern setting process corresponding to the lost symbol is performed (S255). (Variation instruction command) is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 53 (S260). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on an instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and starts variable display of symbols corresponding to information on the lost symbol and the fluctuation pattern. At substantially the same time as transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbols.

  Next, a special game process executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIGS. When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S300). If the determination is negative (S300: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S300: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is open (S305). If the determination is negative (S305: no), it is determined whether or not the interval is in effect (S310). If not in the interval (S310: no), it is determined whether or not the jackpot end effect is being performed (S315). (S315: no), it is determined whether or not the jackpot start effect time has ended (S320). If the jackpot start effect time has not ended (S320: no), the process returns and if it has ended (S320: yes) ), The process of opening the special winning opening 14 is performed (S325), the opening start information is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S330), and the process returns.

  If the determination in S305 is affirmative, that is, if the special winning opening 14 is open (S305: yes), the process proceeds to S350 in FIG. 12, and it is determined whether or not the count switch 14a has detected a game ball (S350). If the determination is affirmative (S350: yes), it is determined whether or not a predetermined number of winnings (9) has been won in the grand prize opening 14 (S355), and if S350 or S355 is a negative determination (S350: no: S355: no), It is determined whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 14 has ended (S360), and if it is a negative determination (S360: no), the process returns. If S355 or S360 is an affirmative determination (S355: yes, S360: yes), a process for closing the big prize opening 14 is performed (S365), and a command for instructing the start of the big hit interval effect is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. A big hit interval process is performed (S370) and the process returns.

  Returning to FIG. 11, if S310 is affirmative, that is, if the interval is in progress (S310: yes), the process proceeds to S400 of FIG. 13 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has ended (S400), and if negative (S400: no). ) Return. If the determination is affirmative (S400: yes), it is determined whether or not the last round of the jackpot game has ended (S405). If the determination is affirmative (S405: yes), a command for instructing the jackpot end effect is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. Then, the big hit game is finished (S410) and the process returns. If a negative determination is made (S405: no), a round production start instruction command to be started is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the special winning opening 14 is released (415), and the process returns.

  Returning to FIG. 11, if S315 is affirmative, that is, if the big hit end effect is being performed (S315: yes), the process proceeds to S450 of FIG. 14 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has ended (S450). If the determination is negative (S450: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S450: yes), a process for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation apparatus is performed (S455), and a process for stopping the operation of the condition apparatus is performed (S460). .

  Subsequently, the mode buffer set in S245 of the success / failure determination process that caused the big hit during the process is referred to (S475), and the probability variation flag, the probability variation counter, the time reduction flag, and the time reduction counter are set (S480, S485, S490). , S495), the mode buffer is cleared (S500). Subsequently, a jackpot end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S505), the jackpot flag is cleared (S510), and the process returns.

Next, the frame opening / closing process performed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is called and executed from each output process of S42 performed in the main routine.
This process is a process in which the main controller 80 determines whether or not the front frame 52 is opened with respect to the inner frame 70 and whether or not the inner frame 70 is opened with respect to the outer frame 51. .
First, it is determined whether or not the front frame release flag is 0 (S600). If the front frame release flag is 0, the main controller 80 determines that the front frame 52 is closed with respect to the inner frame 70. If the front frame release flag is 1, the main controller 80 determines that the front frame 52 is closed. It is determined that the front frame 52 is open.
If a negative determination is made in S600, the process proceeds to S604, and if a positive determination is made in S600, the process proceeds to S601.

In the process of S601, it is confirmed whether a detection signal from the glass frame opening switch 35 is input. As described above, the signal indicating the ON state of the glass frame opening switch 35 is output when the front frame 52 is closed with respect to the inner frame 70. In other words, when an affirmative determination is made in S601 (that the signal indicating the ON state is not input from the glass frame opening switch 35), the front frame 52 is open with respect to the inner frame 70. It is that.
If a negative determination is made in step S601, the process proceeds to step S607. If an affirmative determination is made in step S601, the process proceeds to step S602.

  In the process of S602, the front frame release flag is set to 1, and then a command indicating that the front frame 52 is released (indicating that it is opened) is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S603), and S607. Move on to processing. When the sub integrated control device 83 receives a command indicating that the front frame 52 is opened, the sub integrated control device 83 outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 66 and the front frame 52 is opened to the frame side decorative lamp 65. The lighting control is performed in a light emitting mode indicating that the light is present. Note that the alarm sound output from the speaker 66 and the light emission mode indicating that the front frame 52 performed by the frame-side decorative lamp 65 is opened when the front frame 52 is closed (sub-integration). When the control device 83 receives the front frame closing command transmitted from the main control device 80), the process ends. Note that the alarm sound ends when 3 minutes have elapsed from the output of the alarm sound even if the front frame 52 is not closed, but the front frame 52 performed by the frame side decorative lamp 65 is opened. As long as the front frame 52 is opened, the light emission mode indicating that the light emission is performed is configured not to end.

  In the process of S604, it is confirmed whether or not the detection signal from the glass frame opening switch 35 has been input. If a negative determination (S604: no) is made, the process proceeds to S607, and an affirmative determination (S604: yes) is made. When it is done, the front frame opening flag is set to 0 (S605), and a front frame closing command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S606).

In the process of S607, it is determined whether or not the inner frame release flag is 0. If the inner frame release flag is 0, the main controller 80 determines that the inner frame 70 is closed with respect to the outer frame 51. If the inner frame release flag is 1, the main controller 80 determines that the outer frame 51 is closed. It is determined that the inner frame 70 is open.
If a negative determination is made in the determination of S607, the process proceeds to S611. If a positive determination is made in the determination of S607, the process proceeds to S608.

In the process of S608, it is confirmed whether a detection signal from the inner frame opening switch 36 is input. As described above, the signal indicating the ON state of the inner frame opening switch 35 is output when the inner frame 70 is closed with respect to the outer frame 51. In other words, when an affirmative determination is made in S608 (that the signal indicating the ON state is not input from the inner frame opening switch 36), the inner frame 70 is opened with respect to the outer frame 51. It is that.
If a positive determination is made in the determination of S608, the process proceeds to S609, and if a negative determination is made in the determination of S608, the process returns.

  In the process of S609, the inner frame release flag is set to 1, and then a command indicating that the inner frame 70 has been released (indicating that it has been released) is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S610), and return To do. When the sub integrated control device 83 receives a command indicating that the inner frame 70 is opened, the sub integrated control device 83 outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 66 and the inner frame 70 is opened to the frame side decorative lamp 65. The lighting control is performed in a light emitting mode indicating that the light is present. Note that the alarm sound output from the speaker 66 and the light emission mode indicating that the inner frame 70 performed by the frame-side decorative lamp 65 is opened are closed when the inner frame 70 is closed (sub-integration). When the control device 83 receives the inner frame closing command transmitted from the main control device 80), the process ends. Note that the alarm sound ends when 3 minutes have elapsed from the output of the alarm sound even if the inner frame 70 is not closed, but the inner frame 70 performed by the frame-side decorative lamp 65 is opened. As long as the inner frame 70 is opened, the light emission mode indicating that the light emission is performed is configured not to end.

  In the processing of S611, it is confirmed whether or not a detection signal from the inner frame opening switch 36 has been input. If a negative determination (S611: no) is made, the process returns. If a positive determination (S611: yes) is made, The frame opening flag is set to 0 (S612), an inner frame closing command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S613), and the process returns.

  In this embodiment, the warning sound and the light emission mode performed by the frame-side decorative lamp when the front frame 52 is opened, and the warning sound and the frame performed when the inner frame 70 are opened. Although the light emission mode performed by the side decoration lamp is the same, it may be different.

  In the present embodiment, the detection signal from the glass frame opening switch 35 and the detection signal from the inner frame opening switch 36 are input to the main controller 80 via the back wiring relay terminal plate 75. The detection signal from the glass frame opening switch 35 and the detection signal from the inner frame opening switch 36 are input to the dispensing control device 81, and signals indicating the states of the front frame 52 and the inner frame 70 from the dispensing control device 81 are the main control device. 80 may be input.

Next, a winning count process performed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is called and executed from the winning confirmation process of S40 performed in the main routine.
This process is to output to the hall computer (external) the number of prize balls to be paid out when a game ball is won at the prize opening, and to the third party that monitors the game shop, Is a process for informing the user.
The first start port switch 11a, the second start port switch 12a, the count switch 14a, the first left winning port switch 31a, the second left winning port switch 32a, and the third left winning port switch 33a are used to determine whether or not a prize has been won first. The determination is made based on the detection signal from the right prize opening switch 34a (S650).
If the winning is not confirmed (S650: no), the process returns. If the winning is confirmed (S650: yes), a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the winning opening where the winning is confirmed. Is sent to the payout control device 81 (S651), and a value obtained by adding the number of prize balls to be paid out to the second count value is set as the second count value (S652).

  After the processing of S652, it is confirmed whether the second count value is 10 or more (S653), and if a negative determination (S653: no) is made, the process proceeds to S656, and if an affirmative determination (S653: yes) is made, A process of outputting a signal indicating that 10 prize balls are paid out from the external output terminal 78 to the hall computer (outside the gaming machine) is performed (S654), and the value obtained by subtracting 10 from the second count value is the second count value. (S655). That is, in this embodiment, every time the number of prize balls to be paid out becomes 10, a signal is output from the external output terminal to the hall computer. Thereby, the hall computer can grasp all of the number of prize balls paid out from the pachinko machine 50 (number of prize balls to be paid out). In the present embodiment, the “signal indicating that 10 prize balls are paid out” is performed by turning on a signal for a predetermined time from one of the plurality of external output terminals 78. Yes.

  In the process of S656, it is determined whether or not the winning is due to winning in the grand prize opening 14, and if the winning is in the big winning opening 14 (S656: yes), the process returns and returns to the big winning opening 14. If it is not a win (S656: no), it is determined whether or not the front frame release flag is 1 (S657). If the determination is affirmative (S657: yes), the process returns. If the determination is negative (S657: no), It is determined whether or not the winning is the first start winning opening 11 (S658). If the winning is the first starting winning opening 11 (S658: yes), the first A count value is set to 1. The plus value is set as the first A count value (S659). That is, the first A count value is the number of winning (winning) in the first start winning opening 11 in a state where the front frame is closed.

  If a negative determination is made in the process of S658, it is determined whether or not the winning is due to the second start winning opening 12 (S660). If the winning is the second starting winning opening 12 (S660: yes), a value obtained by adding 1 to the first B count value is set as the first B count value (S661). That is, the first B count value is the number of winning (winning) in the second start winning opening 11 in a state where the front frame is closed. If a negative determination is made in the process of S660, it is determined whether or not the winning is through the first left winning opening 31 (S662), and if the winning is in the first left winning opening 31 (S662: yes), a value obtained by adding 1 to the first C count value is set as the first C count value (S663). That is, the first C count value is the number of winning (winning balls) in the first left winning opening 31 in a state where the front frame is closed.

  If a negative determination is made in the process of S662, it is determined whether or not the winning is through the second left winning opening 32 (S664). If the winning is in the second left winning opening 32 (S664: yes), a value obtained by adding 1 to the first D count value is set as the first D count value (S665). That is, the first D count value is the number of winning (winning) in the second left winning opening 32 in a state where the front frame is closed. If a negative determination is made in the processing of S664, it is determined whether or not the winning is through the third left winning opening 33 (S666). If the winning is in the third left winning opening 33 (S666: yes), a value obtained by adding 1 to the first E count value is set as the first E count value (S663). In other words, the first E count value is the number of winning (winning) in the third left winning opening 33 in a state where the front frame is closed. If a negative determination is made in the processing of S666, it is determined that the winning is a winning to the right winning opening 34, and a value obtained by adding 1 to the first F count value is set as the first F count value (S668). That is, the first F count value is the number of winning (winning) in the right winning opening 34 in a state where the front frame is closed.

  In this embodiment, as shown in S659, S661, S663, S665, S667, and S668, the number of winning a prize (the number of balls entered) is counted. The number of prize balls given to the player may be counted. Explaining in S659, since the number of prize balls given when winning the first start winning slot 11 is 3, in the process of S659, 3 + first A count value = first A count value. Incidentally, the number of prize balls to be awarded is not the number of prize balls actually paid out, but the number of prize balls to be paid out. In other words, the game ball is won at the start winning opening 12, but it is counted even when the game ball is clogged by the payout device 73 and the prize ball is not paid out. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and it may be configured to count after the actual payout. Note that the configuration for notifying the cumulative number of winning balls is not the method described above, but the number of winning balls is counted, and the winning ball when winning the winning slot corresponding to the first count value is counted as the sum of the first count values. It is good also as a method of calculating by multiplying a number. The first left winning opening 31 will be described as an example. Each time a game ball wins the first left winning opening 31, the first C count value is incremented by 1, and when the total of the first C count values is 20, 20 × 160, which is the value of 8 (the number of winning balls when winning in the first left winning slot 31), is reported as the cumulative number of winning balls in the first left winning slot 31. When this calculation (20 × 8) is performed by the main controller 80, it is performed by the cumulative number command processing (S702, etc.). The cumulative number of winning prizes may be transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 and calculated by the sub integrated control device 83.

  Further, when an affirmative determination is made in the determination of S650, the process immediately proceeds to the processing of S651, so that even if the front frame 52 is opened, the payout of the winning ball according to the winning is executed. Yes.

In addition, the reason for the configuration not counting when the front frame 52 is opened (S657) is that there is a prize at the winning opening when the front frame 52 is opened. This is because it is highly likely that the player has grabbed the game ball and made it win in the winning opening. In other words, if the number of winning prizes or the number of winning balls to be notified is small, a third party monitoring the game store determines that the state of the game nail has been illegally changed. There is a possibility that a lot of game balls are grabbed and won before the store is opened, and the cumulative number of winning balls or the number of cumulative winning balls is increased. However, in this embodiment, since the number of winning or winning balls in the state where the front frame 52 is opened is not counted, the above-described fraud cannot be performed.
Note that the number of prize balls in the state in which the front frame 52 is opened does not count the number of prize balls when a winning is detected in the state in which the front frame 52 is opened. It does not matter if the front frame 52 is opened at the timing when the prize ball is paid out.

Next, the cumulative number command transmission process executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is called and executed from each output process of S42 performed in the main routine.
First, it is determined whether or not the front frame release flag is 1 (S700). If the front frame release flag is 1 (S701: yes), it is determined whether or not the inner frame release flag is 1 (S701). If the frame release flag is 1 (S701: yes), the cumulative number command is transmitted (S702), and the process returns. Further, even if a negative determination is made in S700 or S701, the process returns. In the cumulative number command transmission process performed in S702, signals indicating the first A count value, the first B count value, the first C count value, the first D count value, the first E count value, and the first F count value are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Send to.

  The fact that both the front frame release flag and the inner frame release flag are 1 means that the front frame 52 is opened with respect to the inner frame 70 and the inner frame 70 is opened with respect to the outer frame 51. Usually, in order to solve the trouble of the pachinko machine 50, either the inner frame 70 or the front frame 52 is opened to solve the trouble. The fact that the trouble cannot be resolved without opening both the frames rarely occurs. That is, if not intentionally performed, a state where both the front frame 52 and the inner frame 70 are not opened does not occur. Therefore, even if the front frame 52 or the inner frame 70 is opened in order to solve the trouble of the pachinko machine 50, there is almost no possibility that the player will see the accumulated winning number or the accumulated winning ball number.

Next, the cumulative number notification process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described with reference to FIG.
In S720, it is determined whether the main controller 80 has received the cumulative number command transmitted in the process of S702. If the determination is negative, the process returns. If the determination is affirmative, the cumulative number notification process (S721) is executed, and the process returns. In the cumulative number notification process, as shown in FIG. 19A, the first left winning port 31, the second left winning port 32, the third left winning port 33, the right winning port 34 are displayed on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The cumulative number of game balls won in each of the first start winning opening 11 and the second starting winning opening 12 is displayed. In addition, it is not the structure which displays each for each winning a prize port, but as shown in FIG. 19 (b), the total number of prizes won in the first left winning prize slot 31, the second left winning prize slot 32, and the third left winning prize slot 33 is totaled. 19 may be configured, and as shown in FIG. 19 (c), the general winning mouth (first left winning mouth 31, second left winning mouth 32, third left winning mouth 33, right winning prize) 19 may be configured to notify the total of the number of winnings received in the opening 34) and the total number of winnings received in the starting winning opening (the first starting winning opening 11 and the second starting winning opening 12). As shown in (d), the number of prizes received in all (the first left winning port 31, the second left winning port 32, the third left winning port 33, the first starting winning port 11, the second starting winning port 12) You may make it the structure which alert | reports in total. Furthermore, the number of winning prizes in the starting winning opening (the first starting winning opening 11, the second starting winning opening 12) may not be included in the total, or the number won in the second starting winning opening 12 may be It may be configured not to be included in the total (including a winning to the first start winning opening 11).
In the present embodiment, the cumulative number displayed on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 6 is displayed for one minute, and even if the front frame 52 is closed before one minute has elapsed, the cumulative number is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. If the front frame 52 is closed, the display of the cumulative number may be terminated even if one minute has not elapsed. Further, even when the change instruction command transmitted from the main controller 80 is received while the cumulative number is being displayed, the display of the cumulative number may be terminated without waiting for one minute to elapse.

  Further, when the value counted (accumulated number) in S659, S661, S663, S665, S667, and S668 is not the number of entered balls but the number of winning balls, it is as shown in FIGS. 19 (e) to (h).

  The above is the description of the first embodiment. By adopting the configuration of the first embodiment, a third party who controls a pachinko parlor can grasp the cumulative number of winning prizes or the number of accumulated winning balls using the same method even for pachinko machines created by a plurality of pachinko manufacturers. The pachinko parlor can easily determine whether or not the state of the game nail has been changed extremely compared with the winning ratio to the winning opening described in the instruction manual of the ball game machine. Furthermore, it is possible to avoid the situation where the player sees the cumulative number of winning prizes or the cumulative number of winning balls as much as possible.

  Next, a modification of the above-described first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The parts constituting the pachinko gaming machine 50 and their electrical connections in the modified example are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the parts that are not particularly described are the same contents and redundant description is omitted. In the first embodiment, winnings are not accumulated at each winning opening when the front frame 52 is open. However, in the modified example, winnings at each winning opening when the front frame 52 is opened are also included. It is configured to accumulate (count). However, it is configured to be accumulated separately from the accumulation in the state where the front frame 52 is closed.

  The winning count process shown in FIG. 20 is different from the process after the affirmative determination is made in the determination process of S657 in the winning count process shown in FIG. If an affirmative determination is made in the determination process of S657 shown in FIG. 16, a return is made. However, in the modified example, if an affirmative determination is made in S657 (described as S670 in FIG. 20), the process of S671 described in FIG. Transition.

  In the process of S671, it is determined whether or not the winning is a prize to the first start winning opening 11 (S671), and if it is a winning to the first starting winning opening 11 (S671: yes), the 3A count A value obtained by adding 1 to the value is set as the third A count value (S672). That is, the third A count value is the number of winnings in the first start winning opening 11 in a state where the front frame is opened.

  If a negative determination is made in the process of S671, it is determined whether or not the winning is due to the second start winning opening 12 (S673). If the winning is the second starting winning opening 12 (S673: yes), a value obtained by adding 1 to the third B count value is set as the third B count value (S674). That is, the 3B count value is the number of winning in the second start winning opening 11 in the state where the front frame is opened. If a negative determination is made in the process of S673, it is determined whether or not the winning is through the first left winning opening 31 (S675). If the winning is in the first left winning opening 31 (S675: yes), a value obtained by adding 1 to the third C count value is set as the third C count value (S676). That is, the third C count value is the number of winning in the first left winning opening 31 in a state where the front frame is opened.

If a negative determination is made in the process of S675, it is determined whether or not the winning is through the second left winning opening 32 (S678). If the winning is in the second left winning opening 32 (S678: yes), a value obtained by adding 1 to the 3D count value is set as the 3D count value (S679). That is, the 3D count value is the number of winning in the second left winning opening 32 in a state where the front frame is opened. If a negative determination is made in the processing of S678, it is determined whether or not the winning is through the third left winning opening 33 (S680). If the winning is in the third left winning opening 33 (S680: yes), a value obtained by adding 1 to the 3E count value is set as the 3E count value (S681). That is, the third E count value is the number of winning in the third left winning opening 33 in a state where the front frame is opened. If a negative determination is made in the process of S680, the winning is determined to be a winning in the right winning opening 34, and a value obtained by adding 1 to the third F count value is set as the third F count value (S682). That is, the third F count value is the number of winning in the right winning opening 34 in a state where the front frame is opened.
Then, a signal indicating the first count value and the third count value is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 in the cumulative number command processing (S702).

  By performing such processing, as shown in FIG. 22 (a), the number of winning prizes in each winning opening when the front frame 52 is opened, and each winning opening when the front frame 52 is closed. It is possible to display the number of winning prizes separately. Further, by setting the value to be counted as the number of prize balls instead of the number of prizes, as shown in FIG. 22 (b), the number of prize balls by winning in each prize opening in the state where the front frame 52 is opened, It is possible to separately display the number of winning balls by winning at each winning opening in a state where the frame 52 is closed. In addition, as shown in (b), (c), (d), (f), (g), and (h) of FIG. 19, it may be configured to display the total number of winning or winning balls.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The parts constituting the pachinko gaming machine 50 and their electrical connections in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the parts that are not specifically described are the same contents and will not be described repeatedly. In the first embodiment, the cumulative number command is transmitted on condition that both the front frame 52 and the inner frame 70 are open. In the second embodiment, the current frame 52 The cumulative number command is transmitted on condition that the opening is within a predetermined period from the previous closing of the front frame 52.

  The frame opening / closing process of FIG. 23 is different in that a front frame closing timing storage process (S620 of FIG. 23) is added after the process of S606 of the frame opening process described in FIG. The front frame closing timing storage process is a process for storing the timing at which the front frame 52 is closed, and is used to determine whether the next opening of the front frame 52 is within a predetermined period.

The cumulative number command transmission process of FIG. 24 is different from the cumulative number command process of the first embodiment described in FIG. 17, so the cumulative number command transmission process of the second embodiment will be described below.
In the cumulative number command transmission process in the second embodiment, first, it is determined whether or not the front frame release flag is 1 (S703). If the front frame release flag is 1 (S703: yes), the cumulative number command is transmitted. It is determined whether or not it has been completed (S704), and if it has not been transmitted (S704: no), whether or not the current opening of the front frame 52 is within a predetermined period (for example, 1 minute) from the timing stored in S620 processing of FIG. (S705: yes), the cumulative number command is transmitted (S706), and if it is longer than 1 minute (S705: no), the process returns. If a negative determination is made in S703, a return is also made if the determination is affirmative in S704. Whether or not the transmission in S704 has been completed is determined by whether or not the cumulative number command has been transmitted within the predetermined period (1 minute) after the front frame 52 was closed.

Although troubles of the pachinko machine 50 may occur many times in the same pachinko machine, the probability of the trouble occurring continuously within a very short time is low. That is, the state in which the front frame 52 is continuously opened does not occur unless it is intentionally performed. Therefore, even if the front frame 52 or the inner frame 70 is opened in order to solve the trouble of the pachinko machine 50, there is almost no possibility that the player will see the accumulated winning number or the accumulated winning ball number.
The above is the description of the second embodiment. By adopting the configuration of the second embodiment, a third party who controls a pachinko parlor can grasp the cumulative number of winning prizes or the number of winning prize balls in the same way even for pachinko machines created by a plurality of pachinko manufacturers. The pachinko parlor can easily determine whether or not the state of the game nail has been changed extremely compared with the winning ratio to the winning opening described in the instruction manual of the ball game machine. Furthermore, it is possible to avoid the situation where the player sees the cumulative number of winning prizes or the cumulative number of winning balls as much as possible.
Further, in the second embodiment of the present invention, it is determined whether it is within a predetermined period starting from the closing timing of the previous front frame. However, whether it is within a predetermined period starting from the opening timing of the previous front frame. Even if it is the structure which judges this, there exists the same effect. Note that the predetermined period of S705 is not limited to one minute.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The parts constituting the pachinko gaming machine 50 and their electrical connections in the third embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the parts that are not particularly described are common contents and redundant description is omitted. In the third embodiment, the condition for transmitting the cumulative number command is different from that in the first and second embodiments, and the cumulative number command is transmitted on condition that the front frame 52 is kept open for a predetermined time or more. It has become.

In the cumulative number command transmission processing in the third embodiment, first, it is determined whether or not the front frame release flag is 1 (S707). If the front frame release flag is 1 (707: yes), the cumulative number command is transmitted. It is determined whether or not the transmission has been completed (S708). If the transmission has not been completed (S708: no), a specific time (for example, 4 minutes) after the front frame 52 is released (after the front frame release flag becomes 1). Is passed (S709: yes), the cumulative number command is transmitted (S710), and if 4 minutes have not passed (S709: no). ), Return. If a negative determination is made in S707, a return is also made if the determination is affirmative in S708. Whether or not the transmission in S708 has been completed is determined by whether or not the cumulative number command has been transmitted after 4 minutes have elapsed since the opening of the front frame 52.
The time of 4 minutes is longer than the output time (3 minutes) of the alarm sound output from the speaker when the front frame 52 (inner frame 70) is opened.

Troubles such as a game ball being caught on the game board 1 can be eliminated in a few minutes by opening the front frame 52 and removing the game ball caught. That is, the state where the front frame 52 is kept open for a long time does not occur unless it is intentionally performed. Therefore, even if the front frame 52 or the inner frame 70 is opened in order to solve the trouble of the pachinko machine 50, there is almost no possibility that the player will see the accumulated winning number or the accumulated winning ball number.
The above is the description of the second embodiment. By adopting the configuration of the second embodiment, a third party who controls a pachinko parlor can grasp the cumulative number of winning prizes or the number of winning prize balls in the same way even for pachinko machines created by a plurality of pachinko manufacturers. The pachinko parlor can easily determine whether or not the state of the game nail has been changed extremely compared with the winning ratio to the winning opening described in the instruction manual of the ball game machine. Furthermore, it is possible to avoid the situation where the player sees the cumulative number of winning prizes or the cumulative number of winning balls as much as possible.

  The configuration of the modification of the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 26 and 27 also has the same effect as the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the main controller 80 determines whether or not 4 minutes have passed since the front frame 52 was opened. However, in the modification of the third embodiment, the front frame 52 is opened. The sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not 4 minutes have passed since the start.

  The cumulative number command transmission process in the modification of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 26 first determines whether or not the front frame release flag is 1 (S711), and if the front frame release flag is 1 (711: Yes), it is determined whether or not the cumulative number command has been transmitted (S712). If it has not been transmitted (S712: no), the cumulative number command is transmitted (S713), and the process returns. If a negative determination is made in S711, a return is also made if the determination is affirmative in S712. That is, in the modification of the third embodiment, when the front frame 52 is released (when the front frame release flag becomes 1), the cumulative number command is transmitted immediately.

In the cumulative number notification process performed by the sub integrated control device 83 in the modification of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 27, first, it is determined whether or not the cumulative number command transmitted from the main control device 80 has been received (S722). ), If not received (S722: no), return; if received (S722: yes), determine whether the front frame 52 is closed (S723) If not, it is determined whether or not a specific time (for example, 4 minutes) has elapsed since the cumulative number command was received (S724). If 4 minutes have not elapsed (S724: no), a return is made. If 4 minutes have elapsed, the cumulative number notification process is executed (S725). Note that the process of S725 is the same as the process of S721 of FIG. If the determination in S723 is affirmative, that is, if the front frame 52 is closed, the cumulative number grasped by the received cumulative number command is cleared (S726).
Note that the specific time of S709 in the third embodiment and the specific time of S724 in the modification of the third embodiment are not limited to 4 minutes, and are any number of minutes as long as it is longer than the alarm sound output time. Also good.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The parts constituting the pachinko gaming machine 50 and their electrical connections in the fourth embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the parts not specifically described have the same contents and redundant description will be omitted. In the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment, the number of winning balls that have been won in the winning holes other than the big winning opening 14 in the state where the front frame 52 is opened, or the number of winning balls to be paid out by winning. In the fourth embodiment, the open / close state of the front frame 52 is irrelevant, and it is determined whether or not the player is unlikely to play a game. In this state, the number of winning balls other than the big winning opening 14 in the state where it is determined that the possibility is low if not performed or the number of winning balls to be paid out by winning is not counted (cumulative).

In the fourth embodiment, the main controller 80 executes a gaming state determination process shown in FIG. This process is called and executed from each output process of S42 performed in the main routine.
In the gaming state determination process, first, it is determined whether or not a big hit game is being played (S800). If it is not a big hit game (S800: no), it is determined whether or not the extended extended state is being set (S801). If not (S801: no), it is determined whether or not the special symbol is changing (S802). If the special symbol is not changing (S802: no), the detection signal from the touch switch 28 is detected. It is determined whether or not there is (S803). The touch switch 28 is provided on the launch handle 64 as described above. When the player holds the launch handle 64, a detection signal is output from the touch switch 28, and when the player releases the hand, the touch switch 28 The detection signal is stopped. In this embodiment, the detection signal from the touch switch 28 is input to the main control device 80 via the launch control device 84 and the payout control device 84. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, it may be configured to be input directly to the main controller 80.

  If a negative determination is made in S803, that is, if a detection signal from the touch switch 28 is not detected, whether a predetermined period (for example, 1 minute) has elapsed since the detection signal from the touch switch 28 is not detected. It is determined whether or not (S804), and if 1 minute has passed (S804: yes), the no-game flag is set to 1 (S805) and the process returns. Note that the process also returns when an affirmative determination is made in S800, S801, and S802, and when a negative determination is made in S804.

  The no-game flag means that the main control device 80 determines whether or not the player is playing a game. If it is 1, there is a possibility that the player is not playing a game. If it is determined to be high, and it is 0, it is determined that there is a high possibility that the player is playing a game. Subsequently, when an affirmative determination is made in the determination process of S803, it is determined whether or not the non-game flag is 1 (S806), and if it is not 1 (S806: no), the process returns and is 1. (S806: yes), the no-game flag is set to 0 (S807), and the process returns.

  Next, FIG. 29 demonstrates the winning count process in 4th Example. The only difference from the winning count process of the first embodiment is that the process of S810 is performed instead of the process of S657, and other processes are the same as those of the first embodiment. After the process of S656, it is determined whether or not the no-game flag is 1 (S810). If an affirmative determination is made, the process returns. If a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to S658. That is, the first A count value is the number of winnings in the first start winning slot 11 in a state where the player is highly likely to play a game, and the first B count value is the player playing a game. It is the number of winning in the second start winning opening 12 in a state where there is a high possibility that the player is playing, and the first C count value is the first left winning opening 31 in a state where there is a high possibility that the player is playing a game The first D count value is the number of winning in the second left winning opening 32 in a state where the player is highly likely to play a game, and the first E count value is a game Is the number of winning in the third left winning opening 33 in a state where the player is highly likely to play a game, and the first F count value is the right in a state where the player is highly likely to be playing a game. This is the number of prizes that have been won at the prize opening 34.

  The fact that there is a prize at the prize opening with the no-game flag set to 1 means that there is a very high possibility that the store clerk at the game shop grabbed the game ball and won the prize. In other words, if the number of winning prizes or the number of winning balls to be notified is small, a third party monitoring the game store determines that the state of the game nail has been illegally changed. There is a possibility that many game balls are grabbed and won before the game store is opened, and the cumulative number of winning prizes or the number of cumulative prize balls is increased. However, in the fourth embodiment, since the number of winning prizes or the number of winning balls in the state where the no game flag is 1 is not counted, the above-described fraud cannot be performed.

  The above is the fourth embodiment, but the predetermined period determined in S804 is not limited to 1 minute, and is not configured to count (accumulate) the number of winning prizes in each winning prize slot. In addition to counting (accumulating) the number of prize balls to be paid out when winning a prize, as in the modified example of the first embodiment, even if the no-game flag is 1, it is counted. The counter may be counted as a value different from the value counted when the no-game flag is 0. Moreover, it does not matter if any of the notification contents of (a to h) in FIG. 19 and (a, b) in FIG. 22 is adopted as the notification contents.

  Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The parts constituting the pachinko gaming machine 50 and their electrical connection in the fifth embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the parts not specifically described are the same content and will not be described repeatedly. In the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment, the number of winning balls that have been won in the winning holes other than the big winning opening 14 in the state where the front frame 52 is opened, or the number of winning balls to be paid out by winning. In the fourth embodiment, the number of winning prizes other than the big winning opening 14 in a state where the possibility that the player is playing is low, or paying out when winning is made. In the fifth embodiment, the value obtained by subtracting the total number of winning balls from each winning hole is equal to or less than a predetermined value. In such a state, the number of winning balls other than the big winning port 14 in the state of winning or the number of winning balls to be paid out by winning is not counted (cumulative).

In the fifth embodiment, the main controller 80 executes the outcount process shown in FIG. This process is called and executed from each output process of S42 performed in the main routine.
In the out-count process, first, it is determined based on the detection signal from the out-port switch 101a whether or not a game ball has entered the out-port 101 (S850). If there is a ball in the out port 101 (S850: yes), a value obtained by adding 1 to the out count value is set as the out count value (S851), and the process returns. The process also returns if a negative determination is made in S850. As described above, the out port 101 is provided in the most downstream portion of the game area 3, and a game ball that has not won a prize enters any of the winning holes.

  Next, the winning count process in the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The only difference from the winning count process of the first embodiment is that the processes of S855 and S856 are performed instead of the process of S657, and other processes are the same as those of the first embodiment. Whether or not the sum of the first count values (first A count value + first B count value + first C count value + first D count value + first E count value + first F count value) is less than 10 after the processing of S656 If it is not smaller (S855: no), it is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the sum of the first count values from the out count value is equal to or less than a predetermined value (eg, 10) (S856). If the value is also a large value, the process proceeds to S658. Even when an affirmative determination is made in the determination process of S855, the process proceeds to S658, and when an affirmative determination is made in the determination process of S856, the process returns.

  As described above, all the game balls that have not been won in any of the winning openings enter the out opening 101, so if the game is performed for a long time, the big winning opening 14 is obtained. The number of game balls that have entered the out slot 101 is greater than the total number of game balls that have entered the prize slot except for. That is, of course, the number of game balls won in each prize opening is greater than the number of balls entered in the out slot 101, and the games won in each prize opening than the number entered in the out slot 101. If the difference is too small even if it is less than the total number of balls, it means that there is a very high possibility that the store clerk at the game store grabbed the game ball and won the winning prize. Since it is natural that there is little difference between the number of game balls that have entered the out slot 101 and the total value of game balls that have been awarded to each prize opening immediately after the opening of the game shop, in S855, When the total of the first count values is less than 10, the process proceeds to S658 without performing the determination process in S856. In other words, the first A count value is the number of winnings in the first start winning opening 11 in a state where there is a high possibility that the game ball has actually been launched, and the first B count value is the actual launch of the game ball. It is the number that won the second start winning opening 12 in a state where the possibility of being played is high, and the first C count value is the first left winning opening 31 in a state where there is a high possibility that the game ball has actually been launched. The first D count value is the number of winning in the second left winning slot 32 in a state where there is a high possibility that the game ball has actually been fired, and the first E count value is actually Is the number of winning in the third left winning opening 33 in a state where there is a high possibility that a game ball has been launched, and the first F count value is the right in a state where there is a high possibility that a game ball has actually been launched. This is the number of prizes that have been won at the prize opening 34.

  The fact that there is a prize at the prize opening with the value obtained by subtracting the total of the first count value from the out count value being 10 or less means that the store clerk at the game store grabbed the game ball and won the prize at the prize opening. It is that the nature is extremely high. In other words, if the number of winning prizes or the number of winning balls to be notified is small, a third party monitoring the game store determines that the state of the game nail has been illegally changed. There is a possibility that many game balls are grabbed and won before the game store is opened, and the cumulative number of winning prizes or the number of cumulative prize balls is increased. However, in the fifth embodiment, the number of winnings or winning balls is not counted in a state where the sum of the first count value is subtracted from the out count value is 10 or less. I can't.

  The above is the fifth embodiment. Of course, the value determined in S855 is not limited to 10, and the predetermined value in S860 is not limited to 10, more simply than the outcount value. When the sum of the first count values is larger, a configuration in which counting (accumulation) is not performed may be possible. Further, the number of prize balls to be paid out when winning at each winning opening may be counted (accumulating) instead of counting (accumulating) the number won at each winning opening. As in the modification, counting is performed even if the value obtained by subtracting the sum of the first count values from the out count value is 10 or less, but the value obtained by subtracting the sum of the first count values from the out count value is You may make it the structure counted as a value different from the value counted when it is a value larger than ten. Moreover, it does not matter if any of the notification contents of (a to h) in FIG. 19 and (a, b) in FIG. 22 is adopted as the notification contents.

  As in the first embodiment, even if the number of winnings in the state where the front frame release flag is 1 is not counted (cumulative), the no-game flag is 1 as in the fourth embodiment. Even if the number of winnings in a certain state is not counted (cumulative), it is counted if the sum of the outcount value minus the first count value is equal to or less than a predetermined value as in the fifth embodiment. Even in a configuration in which (accumulation) is not performed, it is not possible to completely prevent the game store from illegally increasing the cumulative number of winning prizes or the number of cumulative prize balls. In other words, while holding the glass release switch 35 and grabbing the game ball in the hand and winning the winning prize, it will be counted (cumulative), and by touching the launch handle 64, the game ball will be grabbed in the hand and won the winning prize. In addition to being counted (cumulative), first, a large number of game balls are placed in the out mouth 101, then the game balls are grabbed in the hand, and if they are awarded to the winning mouth, they are counted (cumulative). End up. However, in any case, since it takes several steps more than the act of simply grabbing the game ball in the hand and winning the winning opening, there is an effect of deterring.

In the first embodiment, the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment, the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment, and the fifth embodiment, the cumulative number of winning prizes or the total number of winning balls However, you may make it the structure which alert | reports an accessory ratio or (and) an accessory continuous ratio. In addition, the ratio of the prizes is the ratio of the number of prize balls that can be earned by the action of the prize among all the prize balls that can be earned. Is the ratio of the number of award balls that can be obtained by continuously operating the role. The present embodiment will be described by way of example. The prize ball that can be obtained by the operation of the accessory is a prize ball that is paid out when entering the second start prize opening 12 and the big prize opening 14 that cannot be entered when closed. The number of prize balls that can be obtained as a result of the consecutive actuating of the bonuses is the prize balls that are paid out when entering the big prize opening 14 during the big hit game.
The pachinko machine 50 must be prepared in accordance with the rules for customs sales, etc., and the rules for customs sales, etc., stipulate that the ratio of physical property must not exceed 70% and the continuous property ratio must not exceed 60%. In addition to the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number, the bonus rate and bonus continuous rate also vary greatly depending on the angle of the plurality of game nails 4 installed on the game board 50. In other words, by calculating and informing the official ratio or continuous ratio of the actual game played, the third party who cracks down the pachinko parlor has the reported official ratio or continuous ratio. The game store illegally changed the angle of the game nail when it was over 70% (or 70%), or when it was far away from the ratio of the items listed in the instruction manual, etc. Can be easily determined.

  Specifically, when applied to the present embodiment, the first A count value, the first B count value, the first C count value, the first D count value, and the first E count described in FIG. 16, FIG. 20, FIG. 21, FIG. When the affirmative determination is made in the process of S656 described in FIG. 16, FIG. 20, FIG. 21, FIG. 29, and FIG. A value obtained by adding 13 which is the number of prize balls to be paid out when winning the big winning opening 14 to the 1G count value is set as the first G count value. Then, in the cumulative number command transmission processing described in FIGS. 17, 24, 25, and 26, an accessory ratio (an accessory continuous ratio) is calculated, and a command indicating the calculation result is sent to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 that has transmitted and received the command indicating the calculation result notifies the accessory ratio or / and the accessory continuous ratio. As a specific method of calculating the ratio of the winning combination, the number of winning balls (first B count value + first G counting value) acquired by the operation of the winning combination ÷ total number of winning winning balls (total of the first counting values, that is, 1A count value + first B count value + first C count value + first D count value + first E count value + first F count value + first G count value), for example, a prize ball obtained by actuating an accessory Is 50000, and the total number of winning balls is 70000, it is 50000 ÷ 70000 = 0.7142, and the ratio of bonuses exceeds 70%, and it is possible to change the angle of the game nail illegally It is judged that the nature is high. As a specific method for calculating the consecutive feature ratio, the number of winning balls (first G count value) that can be obtained by continuously operating the winning combination (first G count value) divided by the total number of winning balls (total of the first count value, that is, 1A count value + 1B count value + 1C count value + 1D count value + 1E count value + 1F count value + 1G count value). If the number of prize balls that can be earned is 45,000 and the total number of prize balls awarded is 70,000, then 45000 / 70,000 = 0.6428, and the continuity ratio of the functions will exceed 60%, and the game nail is illegal It is determined that there is a high possibility that the angle has been changed. In addition, although the structure for performing the calculation for obtaining the accessory ratio and the accessory continuous ratio is preferably performed by the main controller 80, it may be configured by the sub integrated controller.

  In both the first embodiment, the modified example of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment, the modified example of the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment, and the fifth embodiment, the second count value is Even if the power supply to the pachinko machine 50 from the outside is stopped, it is stored and held by the backup power supply, but the first count value (including the third count value) is not stored and held by the backup power supply (that is, Immediately after the power supply to the pachinko machine 50 is started, all the first count values are 0), and the first count value (including the third count value) is also a backup power source in the same manner as the second count. It is good also as a structure memorize-held by.

  In addition, the first embodiment, the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment, the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment, and the fifth embodiment, regardless of the gaming state, It is configured to count (cumulatively) the number of prizes won at each prize opening or the number of winning balls when winning at each prize opening. Instead, it may be configured to count (accumulate) only during the normal gaming state. Also, the frame opening / closing process (FIGS. 15, 23), the winning count process (FIGS. 16, 20, 21, 29, and 31), the cumulative number command transmission process (FIGS. 17, 24, 25, and 26). ), Or the three processes may be performed by the payout control device 81 instead of the main control device 80.

  In addition, as the notification content, either one of (a) to (h) in FIG. 19 or one of FIGS. 22 (a) and (b) is described. For example, FIG. The display is switched to the display of FIG. 19 (a) after 10 seconds, or the display of FIG. 19 (g) and FIG. 19 (a) is performed simultaneously (cumulative winning number and cumulative winning ball number are simultaneously performed). It is good. In addition, the cumulative winning number and the cumulative winning ball number may be switched and displayed over time, or the cumulative winning number (cumulative winning ball number) and the accessory ratio (successive agent continuous ratio) are displayed at the same time. Or you may make it the structure which switches and displays with progress of time. Further, instead of elapse of time, for example, the display may be switched according to the operation of the jog dial 68.

  In addition, in the first embodiment, the modification of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment, the modification of the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment, and the fifth embodiment, According to the control, the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning ball number is notified on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, but the cumulative winning number or the cumulative winning number is displayed on the display means directly controlled by the main control device 80. You may make it alert | report the number of prize balls. That is, a configuration in which only the main control device 80 executes from accumulation to notification.

  Moreover, it may be configured that the special symbol is not changed in the condition for executing the cumulative number command transmission process performed during the cumulative number command transmission process (FIGS. 17, 24, 25, and 26). That is, if the special symbol is changed, the cumulative number command is not transmitted.
