Description

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

  Conventionally, in gaming machines such as pachinko machines, for example, a large number of obstacle nails are provided in a predetermined gauge arrangement in a gaming area into which a gaming medium such as a gaming ball is driven. Is provided with a plurality of winning holes (for example, general winning holes, variable winning holes, starting opening winning openings (starting openings), prize winning opening, large winning opening, etc.) that can receive game media. A predetermined number of game media are paid out when the game media are received. In addition, this type of gaming machine is provided with effect display means (for example, a liquid crystal display device) capable of displaying a predetermined effect image in the approximate center of the game area, and displays various effect images according to the gaming state. By making it possible to entertain the player, it has been proposed to make it hard to get bored.

  In this type of gaming machine, when a game medium is received as a winning opening, a predetermined lottery result is drawn, and a lottery result obtained by drawing over a predetermined time on the effect display means is suggested. In response to the displayed lottery results, the game medium is accepted into the big prize opening etc. by opening and closing the closed prize winning opening and the big prize opening etc. in a predetermined pattern according to the displayed lottery result. It is also known to generate an advantageous gaming state (for example, a “hit” game) that increases the number of opportunities that are available to the player.

  Further, in this type of gaming machine, even if a game medium is received at the start opening and a new lottery result is drawn while displaying the effect image indicating the lottery result on the effect display means, the lottery result is suggested. Since the display of a new effect image cannot be started, until the display of the effect image can be started, the suggestion of the lottery result is held up to a predetermined number and the hold number is displayed on the effect display means. A device that makes it easier for a player to recognize the number of holds by displaying the number of holds on the means is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

    JP 2010-35666 A

  However, the effects such as the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 are well known, and with the same configuration, there is a possibility that the game will become bored and the gaming interest will be lowered.

They are assembled into a vertically long rectangular shape (square shape) by connecting them together. The upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 in the outer frame 2 of the present example are formed of a solid material (for example, wood, plywood, etc.) having a predetermined thickness, And an engagement notch 15 that is recessed toward the center in the left-right direction. A mounting step 10a that is recessed from the other general surface is formed on the upper surface and the front surface of the left end portion of the upper frame plate 10, and an upper support fitting 20 to be described later is attached to the mounting step 10a. It is like that.

  On the other hand, the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of a lightweight metal mold (for example, aluminum alloy) having a constant cross-sectional shape, the outer side surface is a substantially flat surface, and the inner side surface protrudes inward at the rear end. The protrusion 16 having a cavity penetrating in the vertical direction (extrusion direction) is provided, and the strength rigidity is enhanced (see FIGS. 9 and 106). In addition, a plurality of grooves extending in the vertical direction are formed on the outer side surface and the inner side surface of the side frame plates 12 and 13, and when installing the pachinko machine 1 in the island facility of the game hall, etc. While being able to hold the pachinko machine 1 easily as a finger hook, the design of the appearance can be enhanced. For convenience, there is also a drawing in which a plurality of grooves formed on the side surfaces of the side frame plates 12 and 13 are omitted.

  The connecting member 14 in the outer frame 2 of this example is formed by bending and plastically deforming a metal plate having a predetermined thickness by press molding or the like, and is fixed to the upper frame plate 10 or the lower frame plate 11 in the horizontal direction. The plate-like horizontal piece 17 extending to the side, the plate-like vertical piece 18 extending from the outer end of the horizontal piece 17 to one side in the vertical direction and fixed to the side frame plates 12 and 13, and the vertical piece 18 are opposite to each other A plate-like engagement piece 19 that extends in the direction and can be inserted and engaged in the engagement notch 15 of the upper frame plate 10 or the lower frame plate 11. In this example, the connecting member 14 that connects the upper frame plate 10 and the left side frame plate 12 and the connecting member 14 that connects the upper frame plate 10 and the right side frame plate 13 are asymmetrical to each other. The vertical piece 18 is divided into front and rear parts. On the other hand, the connecting member 14 for connecting the lower frame plate 11 and the left side frame plate 12 and the connecting member 14 for connecting the lower frame plate 11 and the right side frame plate 13 are formed in symmetrical shapes, respectively. Has been.

  In the connecting member 14, the upper surface and the lower surface of the horizontal piece 17 are in contact with the lower surface and the upper surface of the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, and the engagement piece 19 is an engagement notch between the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11. In a state of being inserted and engaged in the portion 15, a predetermined screw passes through the horizontal piece 17 and the engagement piece 19 and is screwed into the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, so that the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame It is fixed to the plate 11. Further, the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 penetrates the side frames 12 and 13 with a predetermined screw in a state where the vertical piece 18 is in contact with the upper side inner side surfaces of the side frames 12 and 13. Is screwed into the vertical piece 18 so that the upper frame plate 10 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected. The rear vertical piece 18 of the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 is fixed to the side frame plates 12 and 13 while being inserted into the protruding portions 16 of the side frame plates 12 and 13. It is like that. Further, the connecting member 14 fixed to the lower frame plate 11 penetrates the side frame bodies 12 and 13 with a predetermined screw in a state in which the vertical piece 18 is in contact with the lower side inner side surfaces of the side frame bodies 12 and 13. Is screwed into the vertical piece 18 so that the lower frame plate 11 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected to each other, and the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are connected by the four connecting members 14. The side frame plates 12 and 13 can be assembled into a frame shape.

  The outer frame 2 of the present example is fixed to a predetermined position inside the lower portion of the left side frame plate 12 that is disposed so as to face the upper support bracket 20 and the upper support bracket 20 that is fixed to the upper surface of the left end of the upper frame plate 10. Fixed to the lower support bracket 21, the reinforcing bracket 22 arranged to support the lower surface of the lower support bracket 21 and fixed to connect the left and right side frame plates 12, 13, and fixed to the front surface of the reinforcement bracket 22. The decorative cover 23 is provided. The upper support bracket 20 and the lower support bracket 21 are for pivotally supporting the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 so that they can be opened and closed.

  First, the upper support fitting 20 includes a plate-like fixed piece 20a fixed to the upper frame plate 10, a support protruding piece 20b protruding forward from the front end of the fixed piece 20a to the front end of the upper frame plate 10, and a support protrusion. The support side wall 20c formed by being cut out so as to bend from the right end near the front end of the piece 20b toward the center of the tip, and the left side frame depending from the left end of the fixed piece 20 and the support protruding piece 20b. A plate-shaped hanging fixing piece 20d (see FIG. 14A) that contacts the outer side surface of the plate 12, and a hanging wall 20e that continues to the hanging fixing piece 20d and hangs along the outer edge of the support protruding piece 20b (see FIG. 14). 14) and a stop drooping portion 20f (see FIG. 15) that is continuous with the drooping wall 20e and is inclined inward at the entrance end of the supporting saddle hole 20c. A shaft support pin 633 (see FIG. 63) of an upper shaft support bracket 630 in the main body frame 3 to be described later is detachably engaged with the support hole 20c in the upper support bracket 20. Further, the upper support bracket 20 can connect the upper frame plate 10 and the left side frame plate 12 by a fixing piece 20a and a hanging fixing piece 20d.

  The strength of the support protrusion 20b is enhanced by a hanging wall 20e depending from the outer edge of the support protrusion 20b. The details of the upper support metal 20 will be described later. The lock member 27 arranged on the back surface of the player can be concealed so that it cannot be seen from the player side, and the appearance can be improved. Further, the support hole 20c formed in the support projecting piece 20b is bent in a square shape so as to be inclined from the side of the opposite side (right side) where the hanging wall 20e is not formed toward the center of the tip. In addition, the width dimension of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 20c is slightly larger than the diameter of the pivot pin 633.

  On the other hand, the lower support bracket 21 includes a horizontal fixing piece 21a that is placed and fixed on the reinforcing metal fitting 22, and a vertical fixing piece that rises upward from the left end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a and is fixed to the inner side surface of the left side frame plate 12. 21b, a plate-like support projecting piece 21c projecting forward from the front end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a to the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, and a pin shape projecting upward from the vicinity of the front end of the support projecting piece 21c Support projections 21d. A main body frame pivot formed on a main body frame pivot bracket 644 (see FIG. 66, etc.) of the main body frame 3 to be described later is inserted into the support protrusion 21d of the lower support bracket 21. After the support protrusion 21d of the support bracket 21 is inserted into the support hole of the main body frame pivot support 644 in the main body frame 3, the pivot support pin 633 of the upper pivot support 630 of the main body frame 3 is locked to the support stud 20c. Thus, the main body frame 3 can be pivotally supported so as to be freely opened and closed.

  In addition, as shown in the figure, the outer frame 2 of this example has two closing plates 24 and 25 that are disposed at a predetermined distance apart in the vertical direction inside the right side frame plate 13. The closing plates 24 and 25 are formed in a substantially L shape in a plan view, and the closing plate 25 disposed on the lower side has a rectangular opening 25a penetrating in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 9). The closing plates 24 and 25 are hook portions 1054 and 1065 (see FIG. 93) of the locking device 1000 that are attached along the open side of the main body frame 3 when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. As will be described in detail later, the hooks 1054 and 1065 are disengaged from the closing plates 24 and 25 by inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010 of the locking device 1000 and turning it to one side. Thus, the main body frame 3 can be opened with respect to the outer frame 2.

  Furthermore, the outer frame 2 of this example further includes a guide plate 26 fixed to the upper surface of the right end of the reinforcing metal fitting 22. The guide plate 26 is used to smoothly guide the main body frame 3 when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, and is mounted and fixed in a replaceable manner.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14 and the like, the outer frame 2 of the present example further includes a lock member 27 supported on the back surface of the support projecting piece 20b in the upper support metal fitting 20, and the support projecting piece 20b is supported by a rivet 28. On the other hand, it is pivotally supported. The lock member 27 is made of synthetic resin, and has a stopper portion 27a that protrudes forward from a position that is pivotally supported by the rivet 28, and is shorter than the stopper portion 27a rightward from the position that is pivotally supported by the rivet 28. The protruding operation part 27b, the elastic piece 27c protruding from the opposite side of the position supported by the rivet 28 with respect to the operation part 27b, and the front end of the stopper part 27a are formed to bulge forward. An arcuate tip surface 27d. As shown in the figure, the lock member 27 is formed in a substantially L shape by a stopper portion 27a and an operation portion 27b. Further, the elastic portion 27c of the lock member 27 is formed to have a narrower width than the stopper portion 27a and the operation portion 27b, and is formed to extend forward as the distance from the stopper portion 27a increases.

  As shown in FIGS. 14B and 15, the lock member 27 is configured such that the tip contact portion of the elastic piece 27 c is the hanging wall when supported by the support protrusion piece 20 b of the upper support fitting 20 (normal state). 20e is in contact with the inner surface of the stopper 20a, and the stopper 27a closes the inclined hole of the supporting hole 20c. The tip of the stopper 27a is inclined to the inclined hole of the supporting hole 20c. The head space portion is not closed, and a space in which the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support fitting 630 of the main body frame 3 can be inserted is formed in the head space portion of the support hole 20c. .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, the upper bracket 120 in the door frame base unit 100 is fixed to the upper center of the front surface of the door frame base main body 110, and although detailed illustration is omitted, the left and right attached to the door frame base unit 100 are left and right. The upper gap formed between the side decoration units 200 and 240 is concealed, and both left and right ends are supported by the side decoration units 200 and 240, respectively. The upper bracket 120 is partially inserted into the upper decorative unit 280 so that the upper decorative unit 280 can be supported from above when the door frame 5 is assembled. It is like that.

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

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

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

  On the other hand, the wiring holding member 197 in the door frame base unit 100 is formed in a plate shape extending in the lateral direction as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, and the cross section is formed in an I-shape. It is formed of a relatively hard synthetic resin. Further, as shown in the figure, the wiring holding member 197 includes a plurality of holding holes 197a (three in the upper and lower parts in this example) at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction at both upper and lower ends. The wiring holding member 197 has an end portion on the side where the door frame 5 is pivotally supported by the main body frame 3 in a state where the door frame 5 is assembled, and a step 195 a on the rear surface of the door frame base substrate cover 195 in the vertical direction Although the detailed illustration is omitted, the free end side of the wiring holding member 197 rotates to the door frame base substrate cover 195 side, so that the wiring holding member 197 is rotated. The door frame base substrate cover 195 can be accommodated in the stepped portion 195a.

  This wiring holding member 197 has a predetermined bundling in a holding hole 197a which is paired up and down with the wiring cord 196 for electrically connecting the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 along the rear surface side. The wiring cord 196 can be held by inserting the band 198 and tightening the wiring cord 196 together with the wiring holding member 197 by the binding band 198 (see FIGS. 1 and 30).

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

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

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

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

  Further, as described above, when the door frame 5 is opened and closed with respect to the main body frame 3, a bridge is hung between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 by the wiring holding member 197. Since a part is bridged by the wiring holding member 197, it is possible to prevent the wiring 196 from drooping even when the door frame 5 is opened and closed, and when the wiring 196 droops, it is caught by another member and disconnected. Or the door frame 5 cannot be closed, and the main control board 4100, the peripheral control unit 4140, the payout control board 4110, and the like as the main body side electric devices are connected to the door side. Decorative boards 214, 216, 254, 256, 286, 320, 430, 432, speakers 130, 222, 262, a ball rental unit 360, and a handle as electric devices Location 500, etc., capital can provide pachinko machine 1 capable of malfunction in the wiring 196 to be connected to reduce the occurrence as much as possible.

  Further, a part of the wiring 196 is held by a rotatable wiring holding member 197, and the wiring holding member 197 rotates even if the wiring 196 is forcibly pulled when the door frame 5 is opened. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wiring 196 from being pulled, and to prevent a problem that the wiring 196 is pulled and disconnected or the connection connector is disconnected. it can. In addition, a part of the wiring 196 is held by the wiring holding member 197, and the wiring 196 is only partially bent as the wiring holding member 197 rotates, so that the conventional one (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-213675). ), The wiring 196 does not slide, and it is possible to prevent the wiring 196 from being rubbed and causing problems such as leakage or disconnection.

  Further, in the wiring holding member 197, the binding band 198 is inserted into the holding holes 197 a that are arranged at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction, and the wiring 196 is held by the binding band 198. It is possible to prevent the held binding band 198 from moving (sliding) in the longitudinal direction of the wiring holding member 197 through the holding hole 197a, and to reliably prevent the wiring 196 from dropping together with the binding band 198 from the wiring holding member 197. can do.

  Even if the position where the wiring 196 extends from the main body frame 3 or the door frame 5 is arranged at a position away from the side where the door frame 5 is pivotally supported, the wiring 196 is connected by the wiring holding member 197 as described above. Since it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the wiring 196 from drooping when the door frame 5 is opened and closed by guiding, the main body frame 3 having increased strength and rigidity on the side of the door frame 5 that is pivotally supported. And the door frame 5, and the pachinko machine 1 with high security against fraudulent acts can be obtained.

  Further, since the wiring holding member 197 is provided with protrusions protruding at least from the both ends in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to the side along which the wiring 196 is located, the wiring is formed by the pair of protrusions and the plate surface of the wiring holding member 197 196 can be surrounded, and the wiring 196 can be easily held along the wiring holding member 197. Further, since the wiring holding member 197 is provided with a protrusion, the bending rigidity of the plate-like wiring holding member 197 can be increased, and the wiring holding member 197 is prevented from being bent when the door frame 5 is opened and closed. Thus, the door frame 5 can be opened and closed in a good state.

  In addition, the length from the base end to the tip end of the wiring holding member 197 is substantially the same as the distance from the axis of the door frame 5 to the base of the base end, and the main body frame 3 extends in the wiring 196. The predetermined position is a position closer to the axial center side of the door frame 5 than the tip of the wiring holding member 197 in a state where the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, and the axial center of the door frame 5 and the wiring holding member Since a pantograph-like link is formed by the axis of 197, the tip of the wiring holding member 197, and the position where the wiring 196 extends in the main body frame 3, wiring when opening and closing the door frame 5 The movement of the holding member 197, the wiring 196, etc. can be made smooth, the opening / closing operation can be facilitated, and an unreasonable force acting on the wiring 196, etc. can be reduced to cause problems such as disconnection. Can be prevented. Further, a pantograph-like link is formed, and when the door frame 5 is closed, a portion of the wiring 196 that extends from the front end of the wiring holding member 197 is folded back on the front end side along the wiring holding member 197. Therefore, when the door frame 5 is closed, the wiring 196 can be folded and gathered compactly, and the space related to the wiring holding member 197 and the wiring 196 can be reduced.

  In addition, the door frame base substrate cover 195 of the door frame 5 that pivotally supports the wiring holding member 197 is recessed so as to open toward the main body frame 3 with the door frame 5 being closed with respect to the main body frame 3. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the step 195 a that can store the wiring holding member 197 is provided, and the wiring frame holding member 197 is provided on the door frame base substrate cover 195. Since it is housed in the portion 195a, the protrusion of the wiring holding member 197 from the door frame 5 side to the main body frame 3 side can be almost eliminated, the door frame 5 can be easily closed, and the wiring holding member 197 or The wirings 196 can be gathered in a compact manner, and the wiring 196 can be prevented from being caught by other members, thereby preventing a problem from occurring.

  Further, the wiring 196 is held along the surface of the wiring holding member 197 facing the main body frame 3 side with the door frame 5 closed with respect to the main body frame 3. When the door frame 5 is closed, the wiring holding member 197 can be brought as close as possible to the door frame 5 side (door frame base substrate cover 195 side). The protrusion of the holding member 197 can be reduced, the door frame 5 can be easily closed, and the space related to the wiring holding member 197 and the wiring 196 can be made as small as possible.

It has become.

  The upper left speaker 262 of the present example is emitted from the upper part of the pachinko machine 1 toward the lower player by the horn part 264a of the upper speaker bracket 264, and this causes noise to other pachinko machines. It has become difficult. Although not shown in detail, the front speaker bracket 264 also has a plurality of front surfaces facing different directions, like the peripheral lens portion 250a of the side lens 250 and the main body portion 252a of the side inner lens 252. In this case, the light transmitted through the upper speaker bracket 264 is irregularly refracted due to the non-uniform plate thickness.

  The upper speaker cover 266 covering the front side of the upper speaker bracket 264 is fitted from the rear side of the side decorative frame 242 so as to close the light emitting decorative opening 242g in contact with the upper end frame 242c of the side decorative frame 242. The surface is formed in a curved surface shape that is continuous with the surface of the side lens 250. Further, a plurality of through holes 266a are formed on the surface of the upper speaker cover 266 so that sound from the upper left speaker 262 can be sufficiently transmitted to the player side.

  Although not shown in detail, the upper speaker cover 266 also has a plurality of inner surfaces facing different directions like the peripheral lens portion 250a of the side lens 250 and the main body portion 252a of the side inner lens 252. In this case, the light transmitted through the upper speaker cover 266 is irregularly refracted due to the non-uniform plate thickness. Therefore, in the upper speaker cover 266 and the upper speaker bracket 264, the light is irregularly refracted, so that it is difficult to visually recognize the through hole 266a formed in the upper left speaker 262 and the upper speaker cover 266 from the player side. The appearance can be similar to that of the peripheral lens portion 250a of the side lens 250.

However, as described above, the side speaker 130 can be easily replaced, and the interruption time of the game can be shortened as much as possible. Thus, it is possible to suppress the player's interest from deteriorating. In addition, since the side speaker 130 is arranged as close as possible to the player, the sound output from the side speaker 130 can be heard by the player more efficiently, and a powerful sound is provided. In addition, it is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from deteriorating by making the sound production enjoyable.

  Further, since the side speaker 130 is disposed between the left and right side decoration units 200 and 240 and the dish unit 300, the continuity of decoration by the side decoration units 200 and 240 can be maintained, and the side decoration unit can be maintained. 200 and 240 and the dish unit 300 can be connected without a sense of incongruity, and the side speaker cover 290 can prevent the appearance from deteriorating, and the pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's attention strongly can be obtained. Further, since the surface shape of the main body member 292 in the side speaker cover 290 is formed so as to be continuous with the surface shapes of the side decoration units 200 and 240 and the dish unit 300, the side speaker cover 290 is formed on the side decoration units 200 and 240. It is possible to make the player feel uncomfortable even if the side speaker 130 is provided on the front side separately from the side decoration units 200, 240, etc. The design of the front surface of the door frame 5 (pachinko machine 1) can be made favorable.

  Furthermore, when removing the main body member 292 of the side speaker cover 290 from the door frame 5, it is necessary to first remove the security cover 180 and the glass unit 590 attached to the rear side of the door frame 5. It may take a little time to remove the glass, and it is possible to make the removal work troublesome for a person who intends to perform an illegal act, etc., and to make the removal work conspicuous by removing a relatively large glass unit 590. The pachinko machine 1 having high deterrence power (safety) against fraudulent acts etc. can be made by deceiving theft or fraudulent acts.

  On the other hand, the lower cover 424 of the operation unit 400 has a box shape with the upper part opened, and has an outer peripheral shape substantially coincident with the outer periphery of the upper cover 422. A positioning protrusion 424a that can be fitted into the positioning hole 420f at the lower end of 420d is provided. The lower cover 424 includes engaging portions 424b that can engage with the engaging claws 422b of the upper cover 422 at the upper portions of both ends in the long axis direction (left and right direction in the pachinko machine 1). The upper cover 422 can be attached to the lower cover 424 by engaging the engaging claws 422b.

  As shown in the figure, the cover main body 426 in the operation unit 400 has an opening 426a that passes through the center in the vertical direction and through which the dial operation unit 401 (excluding the flange 401d) can pass, and extends outward from both the left and right sides of the opening 426a. A fixing portion 426b fixed to the operation unit mounting portion 314c of the tray unit 300, and a fixing boss 426c extending downward from the outer peripheral lower surface of the opening 426a and fixed to the cover fixing portion 420g of the base member 420 are provided. .

  The operation unit 400 of this example is attached to the dish unit 300 via the fixing part 426b of the cover main body 426. Although not shown in detail, the operation unit 400 is attached to the operation unit attachment part 314c of the dish unit 300. In the state, the operation unit 400 (lower cover 424) is attached in a state where the lower surface of the operation unit 400 (lower cover 424) is slightly lifted from the upper surface of the operation unit attachment portion 314c (for example, 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm). The cover body 426 can be elastically deformed to reduce the impact when it is pressed or hit.

  In the operation unit 400, the fixing portion 426b of the cover body 426 is attached to the operation unit attachment portion 314c of the dish unit 300 with a predetermined screw with the front cover 428 removed, and then the cover body 426 is attached. The surface cover 428 is attached to the upper surface.

  In the operation unit 400 of the present embodiment, the rotation detection piece 410c of the driven gear 410 that rotates together with the dial operation unit 401 has a circumferential length in the slit between the adjacent rotation detection pieces 410c and the circumference of the rotation detection piece 410c. The length in the direction is the same length. In addition, the pair of rotation detection sensors 432 a and 432 b attached to the button decoration board 432 has an interval in the circumferential direction corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 that is 2.5 times the length in the circumferential direction of the rotation detection piece 410. It is said that. As a result, as will be described in detail later, when the player rotates the dial operation unit 401, a time lag occurs in the detection / non-detection of the rotation detection piece 410c by the pair of rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, and each rotation detection is detected. The direction in which the dial operation unit 401 is rotating can be detected from the detection pattern of the rotation detection piece 410c by the sensors 432a and 432b.

  The operation unit 400 of the present example, as will be described in detail later, can rotate the dial operation unit 401 clockwise or counterclockwise by the driving force of the dial drive motor 414. . Further, the operation unit 400 rotates the dial operation unit 401 step by step by the driving force of the dial drive motor 414 using a stepping motor, or when the player rotates the dial operation unit 401, Rotation can be assisted, it can be prevented from turning on purpose, or a click can be added to the rotation. Further, the operation unit 400 can vibrate the dial operation unit 401 by repeatedly rotating the dial drive motor 414 forward and backward in small increments.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 50, in the operation unit 400 of this example, when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed downward, the stepped portion 407a of the button cap 407 contacts the protruding portion 401f of the dial operating unit 401, Since 407 (press operation part 405) cannot be further immersed into the inner cylinder part 401e, the load applied to the press operation part 405 is dialed via the step part 407a and the protrusion part 401f. The operation unit 401 can be dispersed, and the pressing operation unit 405 (operation unit 400) is not easily broken.

  Further, the operation unit 400 of this example presses the pressing operation unit 405 so that the dial drive motor 414 is adjusted in small increments while the stepped portion 407a of the button cap 407 and the protruding portion 401f of the dial operating unit 401 are in contact with each other. By repeatedly rotating and reversing, the pressing operation unit 405 can be vibrated together with the dial operation unit 401, and the player can be surprised by the vibration of the pressing operation unit 405 so that the game and production can be enjoyed. It has become.

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

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

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

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

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

  Furthermore, since the dial operation unit 401 having the pressing operation unit 405 disposed at the center is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 according to the gaming state, the dial operation unit 401 rotates freely (rotation drive including vibration). Thus, the player can be surprised and attention can be paid to the effects produced by the operation units 401 and 405, and the player can be entertained. The effects using the 401 (press operation unit 405) can be made more difficult to get tired of, and it is possible to suppress the player's interest in games from being reduced.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[1-2H. Handle device]
Next, the handle device 500 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 51 is an exploded perspective view of the handle device in the door frame as seen from behind. As shown in the figure, the handle device 500 of the present embodiment is attached to a handle bracket 140 attached to the front surface of the door frame base body 110 of the door frame base unit 100 through the handle insertion hole 334a of the plate side outer cover 334 of the plate unit 300. A fixed and cylindrical handle base 502 whose front end bulges out in a direction perpendicular to the axis, an annular rotary handle main body rear 504 disposed on the front side of the handle base 502 so as to be rotatable relative to the handle base 502, and a rotary handle A rotating handle body front 506 fixed to the front surface of the rear body 504 and integrally rotatable with the rotating handle body rear 504, and disposed on the front surface of the rotating handle body front 506 and fixed to the handle base 502. Rotating handle body front 506 and rotation in cooperation A front cover 508 for rotatably supporting the bundle body after 504, and a.

  Further, the handle device 500 includes a shaft member 510 that is mounted and fixed at the center of rotation in front of the rotary handle body so as to protrude from the front side to the rear side and has a non-circular bearing portion 510a at the rear end, and a bearing portion of the shaft member 510. A rotation position detection sensor 512 that has a detection shaft portion 512a that can be rotated by being engaged with 510a and that is non-rotatably fitted to the front surface of the handle base 502, and the rotation position detection sensor 512 is sandwiched between the handle base 502 and the rotation position detection sensor 512. A sensor support member 514 having a through hole 514a that is fixed to the front surface of the handle base 502 and through which the detection shaft 512a of the rotational position detection sensor 512 can pass, a touch sensor 516 attached to the rear surface of the sensor support member 514, and a touch sensor 516 is a firing stop switch 518 mounted at a different position on the rear surface of the sensor support member 514, and a sensor support A single button 520 that is pivotally supported with respect to the member 514 and activates the firing stop switch 518, and a rotation handle body front 506 and a rotation handle body rear 504 that are arranged so as to cover the outer periphery of the shaft member 510 are initially rotated ( And a handle return spring 522 that urges it to return to a counterclockwise rotation end when viewed from the front.

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

  In the handle device 500, an arcuate slit 506a arranged concentrically with the rotation shaft is formed on the front surface 506 of the rotary handle, and three mounting bosses 508a protruding rearward are formed on the front end cover 508. These mounting bosses 508a are fixed to the front surface of the handle base 502 through the slits 506a on the front surface 506 of the rotary handle. As a result, the circumferential end of the slit 506a in the front 506 of the rotating handle main body abuts on the mounting boss 508a of the front end cover 508 so that the rotation range of the rotating handle main bodies 504 and 506 is restricted.

  Further, in the handle device 500, a locking protrusion 506b protruding rearward is formed on the rotary handle main body front 506, and one end side (front end side) of the coiled handle return spring 522 is formed on the locking protrusion 506b. And the other end side (rear end side) of the handle return spring 522 is locked to the sensor support member 514, and the rotary handle body 504 is held by the handle return spring 522. , 506 are biased to rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the front.

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

  Further, in the handle device 500, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is a variable resistor, and when the rotational handle main bodies 504 and 506 (the handle device 500) are rotated, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is detected via the shaft member 510. The shaft portion 512a rotates. Then, the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft portion 512a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 654 in the ball hitting device 650 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512. Thus, the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle device 500.

  The outer peripheral surfaces of the rotary handle bodies 504 and 506 and the front end cover 508 are conductively plated, and the touch sensor 516 detects contact when the player touches the rotary handle bodies 504 and 506 and the like. It is like that. When the touch sensor 516 detects the player's contact, when the rotary handle bodies 504 and 506 are rotated, the rotation drive of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled with the strength according to the rotation, and the game ball Can be typed in. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball by rotating the handle device 500 in some way without touching the handle device 500, the firing solenoid 654 is not driven and the game ball cannot be driven, It is possible to reduce a load (burden) related to the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed by preventing the player from playing a game different from the original game.

  Further, when the player presses the single button 520 while rotating the handle device 500, the firing stop switch 518 detects the operation of the single button 520, and the firing control unit 4120 stops the rotational driving of the firing solenoid 654. It is like that. Thereby, even if it does not return rotation operation of the handle apparatus 500, while launching of a game ball can be stopped temporarily, before operating the single button 520 by operating the single button 520 release operation. A game ball can be launched with a driving strength.

  In the handle device 500 of this example, the rotational operation of the rotary handle main bodies 504 and 506 is electrically detected by the rotational position detection sensor 512, and then the emission control is performed based on the detection of the rotational position from the rotational position detection sensor 512. Since the rotational driving strength of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled by the unit 4120, the handle device 500 provided in the door frame 5 and the hitting ball launching device 650 provided in the main body frame 3 as in a conventional pachinko machine, It is not necessary to provide a mechanical (for example, joint unit) mechanism so that the door frames 5 are linked to each other when the door frame 5 is closed and the linkage is released when the door frame 5 is opened, and the configuration relating to the pachinko machine 1 is simplified. It is possible to eliminate the occurrence of defects in the joint unit, and the player's interest is reduced due to a gaming ball driving defect. And it is capable to suppress.

[1-2I. Foul cover unit]
Next, the foul cover unit 540 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 52 to 54. FIG. 52 is an exploded perspective view of the foul cover unit in the door frame as seen from the front, and FIG. 53 is an exploded perspective view of the foul cover unit in the door frame as seen from the back. FIG. 54 is a front view showing the foul cover unit with the front cover removed.

  A foul cover unit 540 in the door frame 5 is attached to a rear surface below the game window 101 in the door frame base unit 100 and is fired by a game ball paid out from a prize ball unit 700 to be described later, or a ball hitting device 650. Nevertheless, the game balls (foul balls) that have not reached the game area 1100 are guided to the upper plate 301 and the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300. The foul cover unit 540 of this example includes a cover base 542 having a front side opened and having a plurality of game ball passages therein, and a front cover 544 closing the front end of the cover base 542.

  As shown in FIG. 53, the cover base 542 of the foul cover unit 540 includes a first sphere inlet 542a that is disposed in the upper right corner in the rear view and penetrates in the front-rear direction, and a front end of the cover base 542 that communicates with the first sphere inlet. A first sphere passage 542b that expands to the right as viewed from the front, a second sphere inlet 542c that is arranged outside the first sphere inlet 542a (on the right in the rear view) and is larger than the first sphere inlet 542a, and a second A second ball inlet 542c that communicates with the ball passage 542d and extends downward and slopes downward toward the lower right corner when viewed from the front is provided. The first ball inlet 542a and the second ball inlet 542c are the normal ball outlet 774 and the full ball outlet 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 in a state where the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3. Are formed at positions facing each other. As shown in the drawing, the second ball passage 542d in the cover base 542 has a height of a portion extending in the left-right direction along the lower end, which is about three times the outer diameter of the game ball. An accommodation space 546 that can accommodate a predetermined amount of game balls is formed.

  Further, the cover base 542 can be guided to the upper part in the vicinity of the downstream of the foul ball inlet 542e and the foul ball inlet 542e, which is disposed at a substantially central upper part in the left-right direction and opens upward, and communicates with the foul ball inlet 542e.

The cover base 542 includes an opening / closing operation piece 542g for operating the opening / closing shutter 792 of the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790 on the lower rear surface of the second ball inlet 542c. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the opening / closing operation piece 542g contacts the spherical contact portion 793d of the opening / closing crank 793 in the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790, thereby rotating the opening / closing crank 793. The open / close shutter 792 can be opened.

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

  The foul cover unit 540 of the present example uses the first ball outlet to pass the game ball supplied from the normal ball outlet 774 of the full tank branching unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 to the first ball inlet 542a. From 544a, the plate unit 300 can be supplied to the upper plate 101 through the upper plate ball supply port 310c. Further, the foul cover unit 540 passes the game ball supplied from the full ball outlet 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 to the second ball inlet 542c through the second ball passage 542d. From 544b, it can be supplied to the lower plate 302 via the lower plate ball supply bowl 310h and the lower plate ball supply port 310g of the plate unit 300.

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

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 of the present example forms a side surface on the upstream side (left side in front view) of the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d, and can swing by a game ball stored in the accommodation space 546. A swing member 548 pivotally supported by the shaft, a full tank detection sensor 550 that detects the swing of the swing member 548, and a spring that biases the swing member 548 in a non-detection state by the full tank detection sensor 550. 552. As shown in FIG. 54, the swinging member 548 is pivotally supported at the lower end with respect to the cover base 542, and the upper end is turned to the left when viewed from the front. In this state, the left side wall of the accommodation space 546 is formed. Further, the swinging member 548 is biased by the spring 552 to a position where the swinging member 548 is in a substantially vertical state. Further, the swinging member 548 is formed with a detection piece 548a protruding outward on the side surface opposite to the accommodation space 546 side, and this detection piece 548a is detected by a full tank detection sensor 550. .

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

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

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

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

[1-2J. Ball feed unit]
Subsequently, the ball feeding unit 580 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 55 and 57. FIG. 55 is a front perspective view of the ball feeding unit in the door frame. FIG. 56 is a rear perspective view of the ball feeding unit in the door frame. FIG. 57 is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit as seen from the front. FIG. 58 is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit viewed from the rear after removing the rear case. The ball feeding unit 580 in the door frame 5 can supply the game balls supplied from the upper plate 301 in the tray unit 300 one by one to the hitting ball launcher 650, and the game balls stored in the upper plate 301. The upper dish ball removal mechanism 340 can be pulled out to the lower dish 302 by operating the upper dish ball removal button 341.

  In this ball feed unit 580, game balls stored in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 are supplied through the upper plate ball discharge port 310d of the plate unit base 310 and the ball feed opening 113 of the door frame base body 110 in the front-rear direction.

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

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

  Further, the ball removing member 583 has a partition portion 583a which is located below the entrance port 581a and partitions the entrance port 581a and the ball exit port 581b so that the upper surface becomes lower toward the ball feed member 584, and the partition portion 583a. Around the axis that extends downward from the end opposite to the ball feed member 584 and bends from the middle in the vertical direction toward the lower center of the ball outlet 581b and the lower end extends in the front-rear direction. A pivot collar 583b that is pivotally supported, a rod-shaped actuation collar 583c that projects forward from the upper end of the pivot collar 583b, and a side surface of the pivot collar 583b below the actuation collar 583c. And a weight portion 583d protruding to the opposite side to the partition portion 583a. An operating rod 583c of the ball removing member 583 is formed so as to protrude forward through an arc-shaped slit 581c formed in the front cover 581 (see FIG. 55), and a ball feed opening of the door frame base body 110 The upper tray ball removal mechanism 340 of the dish unit 300 is in contact with the upper end of the contact piece 343 a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 via the 113.

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

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

  Further, the ball feed unit 580 is moved back and forth by a ball feed operation rod 586 whose tip is swung vertically by driving (energizing) the ball feed solenoid 585 and a movement of the tip of the ball feed operation rod 586 which is swung vertically. And a ball feed crank 587 that rotates around an axis extending in the direction and rotates the ball feed member 584 around an axis extending in the vertical direction. The ball feed crank 587 is engageable with the vertically moving tip of the ball feed operation rod 586 and extends in the left-right direction, and the side of the engagement portion 587a that engages with the ball feed operation rod 586. Is disposed on the opposite side and is supported between a front cover 581 and a rear cover 582 so as to be pivotable about a shaft extending in the front-rear direction, and a ball feed member 584 extending upward from the shaft 587b. And a transmission portion 587c engaged with a rod-shaped flange portion 584c (see FIG. 57) protruding downward from a position eccentric with respect to the rotation center. In this example, a flapper solenoid in which a ball feeding solenoid 585 and a ball feeding operating rod 586 are integrally formed is used.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[1-2K. Glass unit]
Next, the glass unit 590 in the door frame 5 is demonstrated mainly with reference to FIG.22 and FIG.23. This glass unit 590 has an opening of approximately the same size as the gaming window 101 and has an annular, vertically long octagonal unit frame 592 and two sheets for closing the front and rear ends of the opening of the unit frame 592. And a transparent glass plate 594 (see FIG. 106). The unit frame 592 of the glass unit 590 includes four pieces 592a that are arranged apart from each other in the vertical direction at the left and right ends and extend outward in a plate shape, and a plate that extends in the horizontal direction along the lower end and extends downward. Shaped locking piece 592b.

  The glass unit 590 locks the locking piece 592b at the lower end to engage with the vertical bent protrusion 161 of the lower reinforcing sheet metal 154 in the reinforcing unit 150 of the door frame base unit 100 from the rear upper side. After that, the outer peripheral edge of the unit frame 592 is fitted into the glass unit support step 110a of the door frame base main body 110, and the stop piece 592a of the unit frame 592 is locked by the glass unit locking member 190. It is detachably attached to the base unit 100 (see FIGS. 23, 28, etc.).

  As described above, the door frame 5 in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment has the upper plate 301 and the lower plate 302 for storing game balls arranged vertically below the gaming window 101 having a vertically long elliptical shape, For driving a game ball stored in the upper plate 301 into the game area 1100 of the game board 4 disposed on the rear side of the transparent glass unit 590 that closes the game window 101 on the right side of the lower plate 302 in front view. A handle device 500 is arranged. The door frame 5 includes a right side decoration unit 200, a left side decoration unit 2200, and an upper decoration unit 280 so as to surround the left and right sides and the upper side of the gaming window 101, and surrounds the lower side of the gaming window 101. Thus, the dish unit 300 is disposed so as to be continuous with the lower ends of the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit 220 with the side speaker cover 290 interposed therebetween, and the appearance of each unit 200, 220, 280, 300 is rounded. Appearance with continuous integration.

  Further, the door frame 5 emits the LEDs mounted on the decorative boards 214, 216, 254, 256, 286, 320, 322 and the like provided in the respective units 200, 220, 280, 300, thereby causing the gaming window 101 to emit light. In addition, light emission decoration can be performed with an arbitrary light emission color so as to surround the opening 328a of the lower plate cover 328. In addition, among the LEDs mounted on the decoration boards 214, 216, 254, 256 provided in the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit 220, on the rear side of the radiation lens portions 210b, 250b of the side lenses 210, 250. By turning on and off the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256 that are arranged, the mode of the light-emitting decoration surrounding the game window 101 can be changed.

  Specifically, the light emission modes of the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a corresponding to the peripheral lens portions 210a, 250a in the side lenses 210, 250 and the light emission of the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, 256b corresponding to the radiation lens portions 210b, 250b. If the modes are the same emission mode (the emission color and the emission pattern are the same), the overall illumination pattern can be substantially uniform, and the emission modes are different so as to emphasize the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a. If it is, it can be set as the light emission decoration which was interrupted in the circumferential direction, and if those light emission modes are different so as to emphasize the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b, it shines radially around the center of the game window 101. It can be made into a light-emitting decoration, and can attract a player's interest strongly.

  In the door frame 5, the base member 420 that supports the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 in the operation unit 400 is made of aluminum alloy by die-casting, and the base member 420 is attached to the plate unit 300 by the cover body 426. Since the operation unit mounting portion 314c is suspended, when the dial operation portion 401 or the pressing operation portion 405 is hit, the cover body 426 is elastically deformed to bend and the base member 420 is lowered. The contact with the upper surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c through the cover 424 can alleviate the impact on the dial operation unit 401, the pressing operation unit 405, and the like, and can prevent the operation unit 400 from being damaged. It can be done.

  Furthermore, the operation unit 400 in the door frame 5 is in a state in which the pressing operation unit 405 is inserted into the annular dial operation unit 401, and the dial operation unit 401 is included together even if a player or the like tries to strike the pressing operation unit 405 strongly. Therefore, the impact hit by the dial operation unit 401 can be dispersed, and the impact can be prevented from being concentrated to be hard to break. In addition, the gear rail 416a of the operation portion holding member 416 that rotatably supports the dial operation portion 401 is attached to the opening 420a of the metal base member 420 so as to slightly protrude from the upper surface from below. When the impact hitting the portion 401 is transmitted to the operation portion holding member 416 (gear rail 416a) via the driven gear 410 and the operation portion holding member 416 is bent downward, the lower surface of the driven gear 410 is the outer periphery of the metal opening 420a. Since the base member 420 can contact the upper surface and receive the impact, it is possible to reduce the load on the operation portion holding member 416 and to prevent the gear rail 416a from being crushed by the impact. The durability of the operation unit 400 can be increased.

  In addition, since the operation unit 400 in the door frame 5 is attached to the plate unit 300 from the upper side, even if the operation unit 400 is damaged, the operation unit 400 can be easily replaced. It is possible to prevent the operating rate of the pachinko machine 1 from being lowered by replacing the unit 400.

In this example, the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 are divided into 10 systems 102a to 102j and 103a to 103j in the circumferential direction (10 divisions). However, the present invention is not limited to this. If it is divided into about 8 systems (about 8 divisions), it is possible to perform a light emission effect such that light circulates around the outer periphery of the gaming window 101.

  Further, by emitting light only from the radial group 104, a light emission effect is produced in which the light is emitted radially around the gaming window 101, or the first annular group 102, the second annular group 103, and the lower group 108 are emitted simultaneously with the radial group 104. To produce a light emission effect that causes the entire outer periphery of the gaming window 101 to emit light substantially uniformly, or to cause the radial group 104 to emit light (light on / flash) while the first annular group 102 or the second annular group 103 emits light. It is possible to perform a light emitting effect that gives an accent to the light emitting decoration. Further, by emitting light individually from each of the systems 104a to 104h of the radial group 104, it is possible to produce a light emission effect such that the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b circulate.

  Further, the central lens 282 as a whole emits light by simultaneously emitting light from the respective systems 106a to 106c of the upper central group 106, and light is rotated in the central lens 282 by sequentially emitting light from each of the systems 106a to 106c. Light emission effects can be performed. Further, the upper center side group 105 emits light so that the side lens 284 and the lower lens 289 are illuminated and decorated with high brightness, and the player has an opportunity and a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit gaming state, a probable game) State, short-time gaming state, short-time gaming state when probability change, etc.) can be performed. The lower lens 289 is arranged so as to irradiate light from the player's head toward the player, so that the player can easily notice the light emission of the high-brightness LED 286b. .

  Furthermore, the dial operation unit 401 can emit light by decorating the front edge of the upper plate 301 by appropriately emitting light from each of the systems 108a to 108d of the lower group 108 or by emitting light in association with the operation group 109. Or a light-emitting effect that prompts the user to operate the pressing operation unit 405. In addition, the system 109a, 109b corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 in the operation group 109 is appropriately caused to emit light so as to prompt the operation of the dial operation unit 401 or guide the rotational operation direction of the dial operation unit 401. can do. Further, by causing the system 109c corresponding to the pressing operation unit 405 in the operation group 109 to emit light, it is possible to produce a light emitting effect that prompts the operation of the pressing operation unit 405.

  Since the system 109c of the first annular group 102, the second annular group 103, the upper central group 106, the lower group 108, and the operation group 109 is a full color LED, each group 102, 103, 106, 108, It is possible to produce a lighting effect with different gradations such as luminescent color and brightness for each 109 or for each system 102a to 102j, 103a to 103j, 106a to 106c, 108a to 108d, 109c. A rich lighting effect can be performed.

  Thus, in the door frame 5 of this example, in the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit 240, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a corresponding to the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a are the first close to the gaming window 101. Since the ring group 102 and the second ring group 103 far from the game window 101 outside the first ring group 102 can be made to emit light, a plurality of outsides of the game window 101 (game area 1100) are arranged. The pachinko machine can be decorated in a substantially concentric circle shape, and the light surrounding the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 can produce a light emitting effect that is not available in conventional pachinko machines, and attracts the player's attention strongly. 1 can be set.

  In addition, one peripheral lens portion 210a, 250a is provided with two systems of LEDs arranged in a substantially concentric circle, and even if the appearance looks like one, each LED of the two systems can emit light. Since the light emission decoration can be made substantially concentrically, it is difficult to imagine the aspect of the light emission decoration from the appearance, and the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a (the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit) by the light emission decoration can be made. 240) can be increased, and the pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's attention strongly by increasing the impact of the light emitting decoration can be obtained.

  Furthermore, LEDs 214b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 254b, 256b, and LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 that are divided in the circumferential direction by the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, 256b and arranged substantially concentrically. Therefore, the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 can be decorated in a plurality of rings by causing the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 to emit light according to the gaming state. And I have never seen it on a pachinko machine so far It is possible to show the cormorants Do not light-emitting decoration to the player, can be a pachinko machine 1 attracted is strong interest in the player.

  Further, the annular first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 constituted by the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a of the decorative boards 214, 216, 254, and 256 in the door frame 5 are arranged substantially concentrically (FIG. 60). So that the light converges toward the gaming window 101, that is, the gaming area 1100 by emitting light in the order of the second annular group 103 and the first annular group 102 from the outside to the inside. And can make the player's interest to the gaming area 1100, and can make it seem that there is something good in the gaming area 1100, which increases the expectation of the game. It can suppress that interest falls. Furthermore, by emitting light in the order of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 from the inside to the outside, it is possible to perform a light-emitting effect that spreads outward from the game window 101, that is, the game area 1100. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that there is something good for the light-emitting effect spreading to the player, and it is possible to suppress the player's interest in the game from decreasing.

  Furthermore, since the above-described light-emitting effects can be performed outside the game window 101 (game area 1100), not only a player who plays with the pachinko machine 1 but also the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The player in the game hall can also show the above-mentioned light-emitting effects, attract the interest of other players, and make it easier to select the pachinko machine 1 as a pachinko machine to play. Can do.

  In addition, the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b of the radial group 104 that are radially arranged so as to divide the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 that extend in the circumferential direction in the circumferential direction. Since it is possible to divide the annular light emitting decoration by the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 in the circumferential direction by causing these radial groups 104 to emit light, it is possible to add an accent to the light emitting decoration, The player's interest can be strongly attracted by changes in the light-emitting decoration. Further, the radial groups 104 arranged in a radial direction cause the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 to correspond to the peripheral lens portions 210a, 250a of the side lenses 210, 250 in the circumferential direction. Since the LEDs 102a to 102j and 103a to 103j are divided, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a corresponding to the respective peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a are caused to emit light independently for each of the systems 102a to 102j and 103a to 103j. Thus, it is possible to perform a light emission effect in which light moves in the circumferential direction. By providing a variety of light emission effects, the pachinko machine 1 that does not get tired can be obtained.

  Further, the side lenses 210 and 250 are provided with peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a corresponding to the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a and 256a, and radiation lens portions 210b and 250b corresponding to the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b and 256b. Compared with the case where the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b are included in the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a and integrated, the appearance of the side lenses 210 and 250 can be changed, so Even when the lighting decoration is not performed, the design of the appearance of the side lenses 210 and 250 can be improved, and the pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's attention can be obtained. Even if the side lenses 210 and 250 are divided into the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a and the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b, the annularly arranged LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a and the radially arranged LEDs 214b and 216b are arranged. , 254b, and 256b in the same light emission mode, it is possible to make an illusion that the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a and the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b are integrated, and the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 is integrated. Thus, the light emitting decoration can be performed in a ring shape, and the above-described effects can be sufficiently achieved.

  Further, the LEDs 214a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 that are partitioned in the circumferential direction by LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b arranged radially on one peripheral lens portion 210a and 250a in the side lenses 210 and 250. , 216a, 254a, and 256a, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a corresponding to the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 are caused to emit light even if the appearance is single. Therefore, it is possible to make the light emission decoration substantially concentrically, so that it is difficult to imagine the aspect of the light emission decoration from the appearance, the change of the side lenses 210 and 250 due to the light emission decoration can be increased, and the light emission Increase the impact of decoration and attract players' attention It can be pachinko machine 1 to be kicked.

  Furthermore, the side inner lenses 212, 250 irradiate the side lenses 210, 250 by diffusing light from the decoration substrates 214, 216, 254, 256 between the side lenses 210, 250 and the decoration substrates 214, 216, 254, 256. 252 is provided, so that unevenness in the light emitting decoration of the side lenses 210 and 250 can be suppressed, the appearance of the light emitting decoration can be improved, and the LEDs 214a, 216a, Even if 254a and 256a are used, the side lenses 210 and 250 can be decorated with light emission in a planar shape, so that a light emitting body that emits light in a linear shape (for example, a cold cathode tube (fluorescent tube), a neon tube, an organic EL, etc.) Compared to the case of using the first annular group 1 by causing each LED 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a to emit light individually. 2 and the second annular group 103 can also change the light emission in the circumferential direction, can present more various light emission effects, and suppress the decrease in the interest of the player due to difficulty in getting bored. In addition, the pachinko machine 1 can attract the player's interest.

  Further, since the light can be diffused by the side inner lenses 212 and 252, even if the transparency of the side lenses 210 and 250 is increased, the rear side of the side inner lenses 212 and 252 is caused by the random refraction in the side inner lenses 212 and 252. The decorative boards 214, 216, 254, 256 placed on the player can be hard to see, and the decorative boards 214, 216, 254, 256, etc. can be seen directly from the player side and prevent the appearance from deteriorating. Can do.

  Furthermore, the light from the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b is guided by the light guide portions 212b and 252b of the side inner lenses 212 and 252 to irradiate the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250. The light from the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b can be reliably guided to the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b to be decorated with light emission, so that the pachinko machine 1 that exhibits the above-described effects can be realized. Further, the light guide portions 212b and 252b of the side inner lenses 212 and 252 ensure the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250 even if the distance between the side lenses 210 and 250 and the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b is long. Since the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 irradiate the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a of the side lenses 210 and 250 widely with the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103, sufficient space between the side lenses 210 and 250 is sufficient. The LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b arranged radially can be mounted on the same substrate as the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a that secure the space, and the configuration related to the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified.

  Further, the side decorative frames 202 and 242 surround the outer periphery of the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a and the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250, so that the light from the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a is emitted from the radiating lens. It is possible to reduce as much as possible that the light from the portions 210b and 250b or the light from the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b affects the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a, and the light emitting decorations interfere with each other. It is possible to prevent the appearance of the light emission.

  As shown in FIG. 78, the payout rotator 748 of the prize ball device 740 includes three recesses 748a each having a size that can accommodate one game ball at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. By rotating 748, the game balls supplied from the supply passage 741a are stored one by one in the recess 748a and can be paid out to the prize ball passage 741c or the ball removal passage 741d. The three detection slits 749a of the rotation detecting board 749 that rotate integrally with the payout rotating body 748 are respectively formed at positions corresponding to the space between the recesses 748a of the payout rotating body 748. The detection slit 749a is formed by the rotation angle sensor 752. By detecting, the rotational position of the payout rotating body 748 can be detected.

  The prize ball device 740 of the present example has a payout motor when a payout command from the main control board 4100, a loan command from the CR unit 6 or the like is input to the payout control board 4110, or a ball removal switch 860b is operated. 744 rotates so that a predetermined number of game balls can be paid out to the player side (upper plate 301) or discharged to the game hall side (rear side of the pachinko machine 1). When the rotation shaft 744 a of the payout motor 744 is driven to rotate, the first gear 745 fixed to the rotation shaft 744 a rotates, and at the same time, the second gear 746 that meshes with the first gear 745 rotates, and further the second gear 746. Is rotated. The third gear 747 has a payout rotator 748 on the front side and a rotation detection board 749 on the rear side so as to be able to rotate integrally therewith. It is designed to rotate.

  As shown in FIG. 78, in the prize ball device 740, a payout rotating body 748 is rotatably supported at the approximate center of the distribution space 741b. When the payout rotating body 748 is rotated counterclockwise by the payout motor 744, the game balls in the supply passage 741a are paid out toward the prize ball passage 741c, and the payout rotation The game balls paid out to the prize ball passage 741c side by the rotation of the body 748 are counted one by one by the counting sensor 751 and then delivered to the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710. On the other hand, when the payout rotator 748 is rotated clockwise by the payout motor 744, the game balls in the supply passage 741a are paid out toward the ball removal passage 741d. The game balls paid out to the side of the ball extraction passage 741d are discharged from the lower end of the ball extraction passage 741d into a ball extraction passage 778 of a full tank sorting unit 770 described later, a main body frame base ball extraction passage 622 of the main body frame base 600, It can be discharged outside the rear side of the pachinko machine 1 through the opening 812 of the substrate unit base 810 in 800 and the discharge passage 842 of the power supply board box holder 840.

  Note that the unit base 741 in the prize ball apparatus 740 of this example is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and even when assembled in the main body frame 3, the award is given from the front side of the main body frame 3 through the transparent prize ball base 710. The inside of the supply passage 741a, the distribution space 741b, the prize ball passage 741c, the ball removal passage 741d and the like of the ball device 740 can be visually recognized, and a defect such as a ball clogging can be easily found. .

  Next, the full tank branching unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 74, 75, and 79. The full tank sorting unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 is attached to the lower end of the prize ball base 710 and guides the game ball paid out to the prize ball path 741c side of the prize ball unit 740 to the dish unit 300. In addition, when the game ball is full in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300, the game ball can be distributed to the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300 so as to be paid out.

  The full tank branching unit 770 is fixed to the rear surface of the lower end of the prize ball base 710 at the upper part of the rear end and the latching part 770a latched to the attachment latching part 716 of the prize ball base 710 at the substantially upper center in the front-rear direction. Fixing portion 770b. The full tank branching unit 770 is suspended from the mounting locking portion 716 by locking the locking portion 770a to the mounting locking portion 716 of the prize ball base 710 from the rear side. By fixing the fixing portion 770b to the 710 with a predetermined screw, the full tank branching unit 770 can be attached and fixed to the lower end of the prize ball base 710.

  Further, as shown in the figure, the full tank branching unit 770 is formed in a box shape that becomes lower as it goes from the rear end to the front end, and opens upward at a substantially horizontal center in the upper part of the rear end. A prize ball receiving port 771 for receiving a game ball flowing down the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710 and a branch space 772 arranged below the prize ball receiving port 771 and extending in the left-right direction (see FIG. 79). And a normal passage 773 (see FIG. 79) for guiding the game ball from directly under the prize ball receiving port 771 to the front side in the branch space 772, and a game ball that has circulated through the normal passage 773 forward and the front end of the front end. A normal ball outlet 774 opened at the right end of the view and a full passage 775 (see FIG. 79) that guides the game ball toward the front side from a position on the right side of the rear view rather than just below the prize ball receiving port 771 in the branch space 772. A), a fill-up passage 775 game ball that has flowed through the discharge forward a full sphere outlet 776 which opens in a front view the left side of the normal ball outlet 774, a.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The normal sphere outlet 774 and the full sphere outlet 776 in the full tank branching unit 770 are visible.

  In the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790 of this example, the driving pin 793c of the opening / closing crank 793 rotates in the vertical direction at the same time as the opening / closing crank 793 rotates about the axis extending in the front-rear direction. The open / close shutter 792 is slid in the vertical direction through the drive hole 792b in which the is inserted. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790 is in contact with the opening / closing operation piece 542 g of the foul cover unit 540 in the door frame 5. The contact portion 793d is rotated in the clockwise direction in the front view against the urging force of the opening / closing spring 794, and the drive pin 793c rotates in the clockwise direction in the front view together with the contact portion 793d. By moving, the open / close shutter 792 is lowered so that the normal sphere outlet 774 and the full sphere outlet 776 at the front end of the full tank branching unit 770 can be opened.

  When the door frame 5 is opened with respect to the main body frame 3 from this state, the contact between the contact portion 793c of the opening / closing crank 793 and the opening / closing operation piece 542g of the foul cover unit 540 on the door frame 5 is released, and the opening / closing crank 793 is released. Is rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the opening / closing spring 794, and at the same time, the opening / closing shutter 792 is raised to close the normal bulb outlet 774 and the full bulb exit 776 at the front end of the full tank branch unit 770. Be able to.

  As described above, in response to opening / closing of the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790 automatically switches the normal ball outlet 774 and the full tank ball outlet 776 at the front end of the full tank branch unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700. Since it can be opened and closed, even if the door frame 5 is opened with the game ball remaining in the full tank branch unit 770, the game ball is prevented from spilling from the normal ball exit 774 and the full tank exit 776. Can be done.

[1-3F. Substrate unit]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, even if the pachinko gaming machine 1 is operated and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 reaches the end of its life and the driving firing by the launching solenoid 654 suddenly becomes impossible to launch and the game has to be interrupted, the replacement work of the firing power supply board 831 is not performed. By being able to do easily, the interruption of the game can be eliminated at an early stage. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the impossibility of firing due to the life of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 very easily, and it is possible to resolve the interruption of the game due to the impossibility of firing at an early stage and resume the game, thereby reducing the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, the power supply board box holder 840 in the board unit 800 receives a game ball that is opened upward and discharged from the out ball discharge portion 1161 of the game board 4 to the lower left side of the left and right center in front view. A discharge ball receiving portion 841, a discharge passage 842 that guides and discharges the game balls received by the discharge ball receiving portion 841 downward, and the front side of the discharge passage 842 and the discharge ball receiving portion 841 (right side in front view) The front box housing portion 843 that is open forward and upward and can accommodate the rear side of the launch power board box 830, and the entire rear surface of the power board box holder 840 are formed so as to be recessed forward. A rear box accommodating portion 844 that can be accommodated.

  In the power supply board box holder 840, the opened front end side of the discharge passage 842 is closed by the rear surface of the board unit base 810, and the opening 812 of the board unit base 810 is located at a desired position to the discharge passage 842. The rear side of the substrate unit base 810 passes through the opening 812 of the substrate base unit 810 through the main body frame base ball passage 622 formed on the rear surface of the lower rear wall portion 604 of the main body frame base 600. The game ball that has flowed down and the game ball that has been discharged from the out-ball discharge unit 1161 of the game board 4 and received by the discharge ball receiving unit 841, which will be described in detail later, pass through the discharge passage 842 to the lower rear side of the pachinko machine 1. Can be discharged.

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

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

  The power supply board box 850 is a standing wall that protrudes rearward along the lower side of the opening where the power supply terminal 853 (see FIGS. 84 and 86) attached to the lower side of the power switch 852 in the power supply board 851 faces the rear side. The wiring cord 854 can be inserted between the portion 850b, the protruding portion 850c protruding rearward from both sides of the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, and the outer periphery of the power supply board box 850 disposed on the front side and the lower side of the standing wall portion 850b. And a wiring guide portion 850d that forms a large gap. Although not shown in detail, the power supply terminal 853 mounted on the power supply board 851 has a locking piece to be locked with the locking claw of the connector terminal 855, and the locking claw and the locking piece. And the connector terminal 855 is prevented from being detached from the power supply terminal 853.

  As shown in FIG. 87, the power board box 850 has a standing wall 850b slightly behind the rear end of the connector terminal 855 in a state where the connector terminal 855 of the wiring cord 854 is connected to the power terminal 853 of the power board 851. It is formed so as to protrude. In the power supply board box 850 of this example, the wiring cord 854 is connected to the power supply terminal 853 of the power supply board 851 in a state where the wiring cord 854 is turned from the lower front side of the power supply board box 850 to the rear end so as to be hooked to the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b. A terminal 855 is connected.

  By the way, when the connector terminal where the wiring cord extends is connected to the connection terminal attached to the board, and then the wiring cord is pulled to the board side, the connector terminal is connected by the tension from the wiring cord. Since it is in a state of being pressed against the terminal side, there is a problem that it is difficult to remove the connector terminal from the connection terminal. However, according to the power supply board box 850 of this example, the front end side of the wiring cord 854 (the side opposite to the connector terminal 855 side connected to the power supply terminal 853) is directed to the power supply board 851 side (front side with respect to the main body frame 3). Even when pulled, the wiring cord 854 is routed around the connector terminal 855 so as to be turned back (turned back) from the connector terminal 855 by the standing wall portion 850b protruding rearward from the connector terminal 855. It is possible to prevent a force from pressing the terminal 855 toward the power supply terminal 853 side, and the connector terminal 855 connected to the power supply terminal 853 can be easily removed.

  Further, since the power supply board box 850 includes the protruding portions 850c protruding rearward on both sides of the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, even if the wiring cord 854 slides along the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, The protrusions 850c provided at both ends can prevent the wiring cord 854 from sliding further outward, and the wiring cord 854 can be prevented from coming off the standing wall portion 850b.

  Further, by inserting the wiring cord 854 into the wiring guide portion 850d of the power supply board box 850, the wiring cord 854 folded back by the standing wall portion 850b can be moved toward the standing wall portion 850b, so that the wiring cord 854 is drawn from the standing wall portion 850b. Since the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b and the wiring cord 854 can be immediately moved to the standing wall portion 850b side by the wiring guide portion 850d, a series of operations are continuously performed. This can be performed, and the work process related to assembly can be simplified.

  The power supply board box 850 and the power supply board holder 840 are formed so that the dimensions in the front-rear direction in the assembled state are substantially the same as the dimensions in the front-rear direction of the speaker box 820. When attached, the rear surface of the power supply board box 850 and the rear surface of the speaker box 820 are substantially flush with each other.

  Further, in this example, the connector terminal 855 is connected to the power supply terminal 853 facing from the opening of the power supply board box 850 that covers the power supply board 851, and then the connector is connected by the standing wall portion 850b protruding rearward from the rear end of the connector terminal 855. Since the wiring cord 854 extending from the rear end of the terminal 855 is folded back, the tension applied to the connector terminal 855 when the wiring cord 854 is pulled is connected to the power supply terminal whose connection is fixed by a locking claw or the like. The connector terminal 855 can be prevented from being disconnected by the wiring cord 854 and the connector terminal 855 connected to the power terminal 853 of the power board 851 can be prevented. Can be easily removed, and maintenance such as substrate replacement can be easily performed.

  In addition, the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b of the power supply board box 850, and the bending of the wiring cord 854 can be loosened as compared with the case where there is no standing wall portion 850b. It is possible to prevent an unreasonable force from acting on the 854 itself, and it is possible to prevent the wiring cord 854 from being disconnected due to the unreasonable force and causing a failure.

  Further, a standing wall portion 850b is provided in the vicinity of the opening of the power supply board box 850 where the power terminal 853 faces. The wiring cord 854 extending from the connector terminal 855 can be extended to the rear side as straight as possible with respect to the connector terminal 855, and the joint between the connector terminal 855 and the wiring cord 854 is broken. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a force from acting and to prevent problems such as disconnection.

  Further, since the power supply board box 850 that covers the power supply board 851 is provided with the standing wall portion 850b, it is not necessary to provide the power supply board 851 with the standing wall portion 850b, and the assembly work of the power supply board 851 can be facilitated. . In addition, since the power supply board 851 is covered with the power supply board box 850, dust and dirt that cause a failure can be prevented from adhering to the power supply board 851 and mounted on the power supply board 851. It is possible to make it difficult to touch or replace electronic components (for example, resistors, capacitors, transistors, ICs, CPUs, memories, etc.) and to increase the defense against fraud. It has become.

  In addition, the direction in which the connector terminal 855 is connected to the power supply terminal 853 in the power supply board 851 is substantially perpendicular to the board surface (front-rear direction), and the connector terminal is connected to the power supply terminal 853 mounted on the power supply board 851. Since the force applied when connecting or removing the 855 can be easily applied to the surface of the power supply substrate 851, it is possible to prevent the shearing force from acting on the lead portion of the power supply terminal 853.

Since the screw fixing portion 1003 constituting the structure is formed so as to project in the horizontal direction from the side surface 1001b that contacts the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped base body 1001, the front locking structure contacts the peripheral wall portion 605. Compared with the case where it is formed on the side surface 1001b, the locking device 1000 can be fixed to the main body frame base 600 so as not to be loose.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Moreover, since the open side of the U-shaped base 1001 is attached so that the open side of the U-shaped cross section faces the back surface of the main body frame 3, in the state where the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600) The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are completely covered by the U-shaped base body 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, respectively. It is not possible to easily perform an illegal act such as pulling down a main body frame sliding rod 1050 provided by inserting a piano wire or the like.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, the rear surface (main body portion 902) of the transparent back cover 900 is substantially flush with the rear surfaces of the prize ball tank 720, the tank rail unit 730, the prize ball device 740 and the like attached to the prize ball base 710. As a result, the rear surface of the pachinko machine 1 can be made into a substantially flat surface, and it can be caught or brought into contact with other members in the island facility to be installed by eliminating protrusions on the rear side. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems. In addition, since the rear surface of the pachinko machine 1 is substantially flat, when the pachinko machine 1 is transported, it is possible to use a buffer material with a simple shape and to increase the accumulation efficiency (storage efficiency). The cost related to the machine 1 can be reduced.

  In addition, the back cover 900 is provided with a plurality of slits 916 and through-holes 918, and the rear side and the rear side surface of the game board 4 can be directly visually recognized through the slits 916 and the like. The rear side of 4 can be further easily seen, and the above-described effects can be reliably achieved. Further, even if the back side of the game board 4 held by the main body frame base 600 is covered with the back cover 900, heat from the game board 4 can be released to the outside through the slits 916 and the like of the back cover 900. The heat from the game board 4 can be prevented from accumulating, and the control of the game is unstable due to the heat, and the occurrence of problems due to deformation of members such as synthetic resin is suppressed. be able to. Furthermore, since the slit 916 and the through hole 918 of the back cover 900 are sized so that the game ball cannot pass through, for example, even if the game ball spills behind the pachinko machine 1 in the island facility, It is possible to prevent the game ball from entering the pachinko machine 1, and it is possible to prevent a malfunction from occurring due to the game ball entering.

  The game board 4 of the present embodiment has a basic configuration formed by a front component member 1110, a game panel 1150, a board holder 1160, a main control board box 1170, and a function display unit 1180, and is attached to the game panel 1150. A detailed configuration characterizing the pachinko machine 1 (game board 4) is formed by the front unit 2000, the back unit 3000, and the main control board 4100 housed in the main control board box 1170. Here, a basic configuration of the game board 4 will be described, and a detailed configuration will be described later.

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

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

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

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

  On the other hand, when the game ball launched from the hitting ball launcher 650 cannot enter the game area 1100 beyond the backflow prevention member 1116 at the tip of the inner rail 1112, the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112 A foul space 626 formed between the upper end of the firing rail 660 and the lower end of the outer rail 1111 is opened from the lower end opening between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112. It falls and is received by the foul ball inlet 542e of the foul cover unit 540 in the door frame 5 located at the lower part of the foul space 626 and discharged to the lower plate 302 in the plate unit 300.

  Note that the outer rail 1111 in the front component member 1110 has a metal plate attached to the surface thereof, so that the wear resistance due to rolling of the game ball is enhanced, and the game ball rolls smoothly. ing. In addition, the stopper 1114 has an elastic body such as rubber or synthetic resin on the surface, so that even if the game ball rolls vigorously along the outer rail 1111 and collides, the impact is alleviated. The game ball can be repelled inward.

  Further, the front component member 1110 includes a wall-shaped crime prevention projection 1117 protruding forward from the lower outer side of the outer rail 1111 and a substantially center in the vertical direction along the inner peripheral rail 1113 from the lower side of the out-port guide surface 1115. And a groove-shaped rail crime prevention groove 1118 that is recessed from the front end by a predetermined amount. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the security protrusion 1117 in the front structural member 1110 overlaps with the rear end protrusion piece 183 of the security cover 180 in the door frame 5 in the vertical direction.

[1-5. Security structure of pachinko machine]
Next, the crime prevention structure in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. FIG. 106 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a security structure on the shaft support side of the pachinko machine. FIG. 107 is a perspective view seen from the rear side in a state where the game board is accommodated.

  First, as shown in FIG. 106, the crime prevention structure on the pivot support side in the pachinko machine 1 of this example is a side surface on the pivot support side (left side in front view) of the main body frame base 600 formed of the synthetic resin in the main body frame 3. The metal crime prevention side plate 950 attached to the door frame 5 and the metal reinforcing unit 150 attached to the rear surface of the door frame base 110 formed of the synthetic resin in the door frame 5 are configured.

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

  Further, the side security plate 950 (main body 952) has the strength and rigidity of the side security plate 950 by the front end piece 952b, the middle piece 952c, and the rear end piece 952d arranged in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the side plate piece 952a. The strength of the main body frame 3 is increased and the game board 4 and the door frame 5 can be favorably supported.

  On the other hand, the reinforcement unit 150 of the door frame 5 is formed in a frame shape so as to surround the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 in the door frame 5 using spot welding, rivets, or the like, as described above. The shaft support side reinforcing sheet metal 152 on the shaft support side is provided with a shaft support side U-shaped projecting piece 166 having a substantially U-shaped cross section opened outward (the shaft support side). In the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 of the reinforcing unit 150, the strength of the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is further increased by the support-side U-shaped projecting piece 166, and the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is difficult to bend. .

  By the way, in this example, since the door frame 5 is attached and supported only at the upper and lower points of the upper shaft support portion 156 and the lower shaft support portion 158 with respect to the main body frame 3, the door frame 5 on the shaft support side. If an unauthorized tool such as a screwdriver or a bar is inserted between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is deformed, and the gap between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 is increased. There is a risk of cheating. On the other hand, in the security structure of this example, when the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c formed inside the front end of the security side face plate 950 are provided. A rear piece of a pivot-side U-shaped projecting piece 166 formed in a substantially U-shape of the reinforcing unit 150 in the door frame 5 is inserted (enters), and the front end piece 952a is pivotally supported. The side U-shaped projecting piece 166 is sandwiched. Accordingly, even if the door frame 5 is forcibly opened with respect to the main body frame 3, the shaft-supporting U-shaped projecting piece 166 of the door frame 5 comes into contact with the rear surface side of the front end piece 952 b of the main body frame 3. Since the pivot-side U-shaped projecting piece 166 can be prevented from moving in a direction away from the main body frame 3, the closed door frame 5 can be prevented from being opened, and the main body frame can be prevented. It is possible to prevent a fraudulent act such as opening the door frame 5 with respect to 3.

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

  Further, since the rear end of the side piece 952a in the security side plate 950 extends rearward from the game panel 1150 in the game board 4, the main body frame base 600 on the rear side of the rear end of the side piece 952a is assumed. Even if the player is destroyed, an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire cannot be entered from the rear end of the side piece 952a into the game area 1100 on the front surface of the game board 4 (game panel 1150). Can be surely prevented. As shown in FIG. 106, since the side frame plate 12 of the outer frame 2 is in contact with the outside of the security side plate 950, the pachinko machine 1 has a robust side surface. It can be fully countered against the destruction of the. In general, in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, the side surface of the pachinko machine 1 is inserted and fixed within the frame of the island facility for installing the pachinko machine 1, so that the player side From the (front side), it is almost impossible to allow an unauthorized tool to enter the rear side of the rear end of the side piece 952c, and the crime prevention performance of the pachinko machine 1 is further improved.

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

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

From the state, it descends and slides to an appearance state (special position) (see FIG. 139 (b) and the like) in which a part is located on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Thereby, the player's interest can be attracted to the upper movable decorative body 2581. As shown in the drawing, when the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 is lowered, the front base 2583, the front decorative member 2595, etc. of the upper frame movable decorative body drive mechanism 2582 arranged on the rear side appear, so that it looks good. Can be prevented from getting worse.

  Therefore, the upper frame movable decorative unit 2580 in the center accessory 2500 of this example can be slid straight up and down by the upper frame movable decorative body drive mechanism 2582, so that the outer shape of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 The gap between the center decorative member 2520 and the recess 2525 in the center accessory 2500 in which the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 is accommodated can be made as small as possible. This allows the player to have the illusion that the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520 of the center accessory 2500 are an integral decorative member. When the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 that was thought not to move is moved (lowered), the player can be greatly surprised by the movement, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted, and the opportunity has come This makes it possible to increase the sense of expectation for the game and to suppress the decline in interest.

  Further, the upper frame movable decoration unit 2580 is configured such that the decoration of the decoration member 2581b in the upper frame movable decoration body 2581 is continuous with the decoration of the relief member 2520a or the like in the adjacent center decoration member 2520. When the decorative body 2581 is raised and housed in the recess 2525 of the center decorative member 2520, it is possible to make an illusion that the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 is a decorative member integrated with the center decorative member 2520. The same operational effects can be achieved.

  As described above, in this example, the upper frame movable decorative body of the center accessory 2500 disposed at the normal position in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 disposed in the approximate center in the game area 1100 and outside the front view. 2581 and the center decoration member 2520 of the center accessory 2500 in contact with a part of the outer periphery of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 are respectively formed with the same decoration, and a part of the rear side of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 is on the player side. Since the rear movable movable body 3330 and the rear upper movable decorative body 3410 of the rear unit 3000 are arranged so that the player can see the display unit, the player is interested in the middle of the back where the effect image and part of the liquid crystal display device 1900 can be seen. By attracting to the movable decorative body 3330 or the like, the interest in the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 can be relatively lowered, and the player pays attention to the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520. By making a sloppy look, the illusion that the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520 on which the same decoration is formed is an integral member, and that the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 does not move. Can do. Then, the upper frame is moved by the upper frame movable decorative body drive mechanism 2582 in accordance with a special lottery result that is drawn when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 is received by the first start port 2101 or the second start port 2102. The movable decorative body 2581 is separated from the center decorative member 2520 from the normal position where it can be seen integrally with the center decorative member 2520 and is lowered to the special position located inside the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900. By moving the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 that was thought to be absent, a strong impact can be given to the movement of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581, and the movement of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 can be enjoyed. At the same time, if the player receives a strong impact, the movement of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 may cause something good. Seems to be possible, increase the expectation for the game is player's interest can be suppressed.

  Further, the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 is linearly moved between the normal position and the special position. Compared with the case where the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 is moved in a circular arc, the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520 are arranged. Since the gap between the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520 can be enhanced, the player can easily have an illusion of being an integral member. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 that can reliably achieve the above-described effects can be realized.

  Further, a part of the back upper side movable decorative body 3330 and the back upper side movable decorative body 3410 can be seen on the rear side of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581. It is possible to increase interest and to instantly recognize that the movable decorative body 3330 and the like on the back are movable so that the entire movable decorative body 3330 and the like can be seen by seeing a part of the movable decorative body 3330 and the like on the back. Therefore, it is possible to expect the player to know when the back-side movable ornament 3330, the back-side movable ornament 3410, etc. move, and the player's interest in the back-side movable ornament 3330, etc. The upper frame movable decorative body 2581 can be attracted strongly, and the player's interest is relatively low with respect to the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 arranged on the front side of the back middle movable decorative body 3330 and the like. Sen -Since it is possible to make an illusion that the decorative member 2582 is integrated with the decorative member 2582, the gap when the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 moves can be increased, and the player can be entertained and entertained for the game. Can be suppressed.

  Further, after moving the upper middle movable decorative body 3330, the rear upper side movable decorative body 3410, etc., if the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 is moved from the normal position to the special position, it is not in the player's eyes. Since the movable frame decorative body 2581 moves, it is possible to give a stronger impact to the player, and it is possible to entertain the movement of the movable upper frame decorative body 2581 while paying attention to the movable upper frame decorative body 2581. It is possible to make the player think that a chance has arrived due to the movement of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581, and it is possible to increase the player's expectation and suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

  In addition, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is arranged on the rear side of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581. When the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 moves from the normal position to the special position, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900. The upper frame movable decorative body 2581 is blocked by the upper frame movable decorative body 2581. Therefore, the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 is considered to be non-moving and is not interested in the upper frame movable decorative body 2581. The movement (down) of the player can be noticed, the player can be surprised, the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 can be noted and the movement can be enjoyed, and the player's interest in the game is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, a transparent lens member 2520b having translucency is provided at least at a portion in contact with the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 in the center decorative member 2582, and a gap is provided between the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520. Even if there is, the transparent lens member 2520b makes it difficult to recognize the gap, so that the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520 on which the same decoration is formed are integrated with the player. As a result, the pachinko machine 1 can be provided with the illusion of being easily obtained and the above-described operational effects can be reliably achieved.

  In addition, a decoration member 2581b having a metallic luster is provided at least at a portion in contact with the center decoration member 2520 in the upper frame movable decoration body 2581, and the light reflected by the decoration member 2581b enters the player's field of view to reflect the light. Since the periphery of the decorative member 2581b that is not visible looks dark and makes it difficult to see between the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520, the space between the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520 It is possible to make it difficult to recognize the gap, and to make it easy to make an illusion that the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520 on which the same decoration is formed are an integral member, and the operation as described above The effect can be surely achieved, and the player can be prevented from being entertained and the interest in the game being reduced.

  Further, since the front decorative member 2595 of the upper frame movable decorative body driving mechanism 2582 having translucency is disposed on the rear side of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 in the normal position, the front decorative member 2595 is interposed from the rear side. By entering light into the upper frame movable decorative body 2581, the space (gap) between the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520 can be brightened, and the upper frame movable decorative body 2581, the center decorative member 2520, You can make the illusion of being connected by making it difficult to understand the borders. Therefore, it is possible to give the player an illusion that the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 and the center decorative member 2520 on which the same decoration is formed are an integral member. The gap when the body 2581 moves can be increased to entertain the player, and the player's interest in games can be suppressed from decreasing.

  In addition, since the front decorative member 2595 is provided on the rear side of the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 in the normal position, when the upper frame movable decorative body 2581 moves to a special position on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900, the front decorative member 2595 is moved. It can be seen from the player side, and it is possible to suppress the appearance of the game area 1100 from being deteriorated by the decoration of the front decorative member 2595.

[2-6G. stage]
Next, the stage 2510 in the center accessory 2500 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 140 to 144. FIG. 140 is a perspective view showing only the stage in the center accessory. 141 is a plan view of the stage of FIG. 140, and FIG. 142 is a front view of the stage of FIG. Furthermore, FIG. 143 is an AA cross-sectional view of the stage in FIG. FIG. 144 is a perspective view of the stage of FIG. 140 viewed from the front upper side.

  As shown in the figure, the stage 2510 of the center accessory 2500 of the present example includes a first stage member 2532 having a first stage 2511 extending greatly in the left-right direction on the upper surface, and a second stage disposed immediately below the first stage 2512. A second stage member 2513 having a stage 2512 and a stage back decoration member 2600 disposed on the rear side of the first stage 2511 and the second stage 2512 are provided. The stage back decoration member 2600 includes a transparent protective cover 2601 that covers the upper side of the first stage 2511 and closes the rear end side, and the game ball supplied to the stage 2510 is rearward of the stage 2510. It is possible to prevent the dropout (see FIG. 123, etc.).

  The first stage 2511 has a curved shape such that the both ends in the left-right direction are generally higher, and has a flat W-shaped wavy shape in which the approximate center in the left-right direction of the game area 1100 is slightly higher. Is formed. The first stage 2511 is formed at the front end wall 2511a that prevents the game ball from falling forward at the front end, and at a position that is higher at the center (substantially the center in the left-right direction of the game area 1100), and lower toward the rear. The chance guide part 2511b spreading in the left-right direction, the drop hole 2511c penetrating downward at the front end of the lowest position on both sides of the center, and formed on the outer side in the left-right direction of each drop hole 2511c and becoming lower toward the front And a drop guide portion 2511d extending in the left-right direction so as to be related to the drop hole 2511c. A chance entrance 2513 that opens forward is disposed on the rear side of the chance guiding portion 2511b at the substantially center in the left-right direction of the first stage 2511.

  Although the detailed illustration of the first stage 2511 is omitted, the rear end side is formed lower than the front end side from the left and right ends to the drop hole 2511c, and from the drop hole 2511c to the central chance guiding portion 2511b, The inclination in the front-rear direction gradually changes so that the front end side is lower than the rear end side at the position of the chance guiding portion 2511b.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 141, the first stage 2511 has a configuration in which the front end wall 2511a between the drop holes 2511c is curved in the front-rear direction so that the left and right ends are located near the center in the front-rear direction of the drop hole 2511c. A step portion 2511e in which the width in the front-rear direction of the first stage 2511 is narrowed is formed on the opposite side (the center side in the left-right direction) of each drop hole 2511c. Although not shown in detail, the rear end of the first stage 2511 is partitioned by a protective cover 2601. In addition, the width (depth) in the front-rear direction of the first stage 2511 is in the range of 1.2 to 2.0 times the outer diameter of the game ball.

  In the first stage 2511, the game ball supplied from the warp outlet 2505 to the first stage 2511 is prevented from suddenly falling into the left drop hole 2511c, and the game rolls between the drop holes 2511c. The ball also does not easily fall into the drop hole 2511c when there is a momentum of rolling, and the staying time of the game ball on the first stage 2511 can be extended. The drop hole 2511c is a hole having a slightly larger diameter than the outer shape of the game ball, and when the game ball falls into the drop hole 2511c, the momentum of the game ball in the front-rear and left-right directions is reduced as much as possible. In this state, it can be dropped to the second stage 2512 side. Further, when the game ball is guided backward by the chance guiding portion 2511b disposed in the center of the first stage 2511, the player enters the chance entrance 2513.

  On the other hand, the second stage 2512 is formed in a curved surface shape such that the center (substantially the center in the left-right direction of the game area 1100) is lower, and is formed at the front end in the range of about 1/3 on both sides in the left-right direction. The front edge portion 2512a that protrudes toward the rear and is inclined so as to be smoothly lowered toward the rear, the groove-shaped central guide portion 2512b that is disposed at the center in the left-right direction and decreases toward the front, and both left and right sides of the central guide portion 2512b And a side guide portion 2512c which is arranged between the left and right front edge portions 2512a and becomes lower as it goes forward and spreads in the left-right direction, and a plate-like shape that rises upward from the rear end to the vicinity of the lower surface of the first stage 2512. And a rear wall portion 2512d. Note that the width (depth) of the second stage 2512 in the front-rear direction is in the range of 1.2 to 2.0 times the outer diameter of the game ball.

  Further, the second stage 2512 is configured such that the central guiding portion 2512 b is located immediately above the first start port 2101 in the attacker unit 2100. The width between the left and right front edge portions 2512a is substantially the same as the width in the left-right direction when the pair of movable pieces 2105 for opening and closing the second starting port 2102 in the attacker unit 2100 is expanded. .

  The second stage 2512 can roll the game ball supplied from the first stage 2511 through the drop hole 2511d in the left-right direction, and the rear wall 2512d can prevent the game ball from dropping backward. It can be prevented. In addition, the second stage 2512 can release the supplied game ball from one of the two side guide portions 2512c with a high probability and return it to the game area 1100. It can discharge | release ahead from the center guidance | induction part 2512b. Further, the second stage 2512 can be moved forward from the front edge portion 2512a over the front edge portion 2512a depending on the momentum of the rolling game ball.

  Further, the stage back decoration member 2600 in the stage 2510 covers the entire upper side of the first stage 2512 and also closes the rear end of the first stage 2511, and the rear stage of the first stage 2511 and the second stage 2512. A semi-circular back decoration member 2602 that is disposed on the side and bulges upward from the first stage 2511, and a holding display board that is disposed on the rear side of the back decoration member 2602 and has a plurality of LEDs mounted on the front surface. 2603 (see FIGS. 125 and 126, etc.).

  The back decoration member 2602 of the stage back decoration member 2600 has a passage portion 2602a that is open at the front side and that extends in the vertical direction so that a game ball can be circulated at the approximate center in the left-right direction. The upper front surface is a chance entrance 2513, and the lower front surface faces the rear end opening of the ball guide passage 2531b in the base member 2530. Accordingly, the game ball that has entered the chance entrance 2513 is guided downward by the passage portion 2602a on the rear side of the first stage 2511 and the second stage 2512, and is then placed forward from the lower portion of the passage portion 2602a. It passes through the ball guide passage 2531b of the member 2530 and is discharged forward from the chance outlet 2514.

  In addition, the front surface between the upper part and the lower part in the passage part 2602a is closed by the rear wall part 2512d of the second stage 2512 (see FIG. 142 and the like), and the game ball is received only from the upper part and the lower part. You can go in and out.

  Further, the back decoration member 2602 has a relief-like decoration having a metallic luster on the surface, the outside of the decoration is in a state of penetrating in the front-rear direction, and a plurality of the decorations substantially along the arc-shaped outer shape. Eight translucent portions 2602b are formed in this example. Specifically, the plurality of translucent portions 2602b in the back decoration member 2602 are arranged in four each on both the left and right sides across the center in the left-right direction.

  The LEDs 2603a of the holding display board 2603 are mounted and arranged on the rear side of the respective light transmitting portions 2602b in the back decoration members 2602. The LEDs 2603a are connected to the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 depending on the number of lights. It is possible to display the number of holdings related to the reception of game balls. Specifically, the four arranged on the left side across the chance entrance 2513 indicate the number of reserves relating to the first start port 2101, and the four arranged on the right side across the chance entrance 2513 are the second The number of holdings related to the start opening 2102 is displayed, and even if the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 of the back bottom movable effect unit 3500 rises and covers the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900, the number of holdings is held. You can guide the numbers.

  In the stage 2510 of this example, the game ball that has entered the warp inlet 2504 opened to the outer periphery of the peripheral wall portion 2503 of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 1100 passes through the first stage from the warp outlet 2505 in the frame of the center accessory 2500. When supplied to the left end of 2511, it rolls in the right direction along the shape of the first stage 2511 that is lowered toward the drop hole 2511c on the left side of the center. Then, the game ball passes through the rear side of the left drop hole 2511c, rolls toward the right drop hole 2511c side, passing over the substantially horizontal center that is smoothly raised by the momentum, , Rolling over the right end side of the first stage 2511 formed so as to pass through the rear side of the right drop hole 2511c and rise smoothly, and the rolling speed is attenuated to the right end of the first stage 2511. The movement to the right stops before reaching. Thereafter, the game ball starts rolling in the left direction so as to be folded back along the shape of the first stage 2511 whose left side is lower on the right side than the right side drop hole 2511c. After passing through, the left side of the first stage 2511 that is higher on the left side than the left drop hole 2511c rolls, and the game ball moves on the first stage 2511 that extends long in the left-right direction. It will go back and forth in the left and right direction.

  In the first stage 2511, since the width in the front-rear direction is narrowed by the presence of the step portion 2511e between the pair of drop holes 2511c, the game ball located in the pair of drop holes 2511c moves to which drop hole 2511c side. Even if it rolls, it can pass through the drop hole 2511c and roll to the left and right ends without falling into the drop hole 2511c. In addition, when the game ball located on the outer side in the left-right direction with respect to the pair of drop holes 2511c in the first stage 2511 rolls toward the drop hole 2511c side along the front end wall 2511a in contact with the drop holes 2511c, Since the drop hole 2511c is positioned, the drop hole 2511c is easily dropped into the drop hole 2511c, and is supplied to the second stage 2512 directly below through the drop hole 2511c. On the other hand, when the game ball located on the outer side in the left-right direction with respect to the pair of drop holes 2511c rolls toward the drop hole 2511c along the protective cover 2601 at the rear end of the first stage 2511, it does not fall into the drop hole 2511c. It rolls to the center side beyond the rear side of the drop hole 2511c, and the rolling in the left-right direction is continued.

  Note that the game ball on the first stage 2511 enters a chance entrance 2513 that is arranged in the vicinity of the top, which is smooth and slightly higher at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the first stage 2511 (the center between the pair of drop holes 2511c). Then, it is discharged into the game area 1100 from the chance exit 2514 opened immediately above the first start port 2101 below the second stage 2512, and is accepted into the first start port 2101 with a very high probability. It is like that.

  On the other hand, the game ball supplied to the second stage 2512 through the drop hole 2511c of the first stage 2511 is delivered from the first stage 2511 with the horizontal momentum being made as small as possible. It rolls in the left-right direction along the shape of the second stage 2512 that is gently curved so that the substantially center in the left-right direction is the lowest without falling from the second stage 2512, and on the second stage 2512 in the left-right direction. After rolling, it is discharged into the game area 1100 from either the central guide portion 2512b disposed at the approximate center or the side guide portion 2512c on the side thereof. When the game ball is released from the central guiding portion 2512b of the second stage 2512 into the game area 1100, the game ball is received into the first start port 2101 with a high probability.

  Thus, according to the stage 2510 of this example, the player can be excited by whether or not the game ball supplied to the first stage 2511 enters the chance entrance 2513, and the game ball enters the chance entrance 2513. Even if not, it is supplied to the second stage 2512 directly below through the drop hole 2511c, and the player is excited again whether or not it is discharged from the central guiding portion 2512b of the second stage 2512 into the game area 1100. Therefore, it is possible to provide a stage 2510 that can surely entertain the player with the movement of the game ball, and to prevent the game's interest from being reduced by enjoying the movement of the game ball. It is like that.

  Further, the stage 2510 of this example has a depth (width) in the front-rear direction of the first stage 2511 and the second stage 2512 that is substantially the same as the thickness of the game panel 1150 and is directly below the first stage 2511. Since the second stage 2512 is arranged, the depth in the front-rear direction of the entire stage 2510 can be made as small as possible compared to the stage of a conventional pachinko machine, and the protrusion from the rear surface of the game panel 1150 The amount can be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, the space behind the game panel 1150 can be made relatively wide, and the back-bottom movable effect unit 3500, the back-bottom right-movable effect unit 3600, etc. of the back unit 3000, which will be described later, are arranged in good condition. Can be done.

  Furthermore, the stage 2510 supplies the game ball to the second stage 2512 through the drop hole 2511c of the first stage 2511, and the movement of the game ball rolled on the first stage 2511 is adjusted by the drop hole 2511c. Since the motion components in the front-rear and left-right directions can be supplied to the second stage 2512 in a state reduced as much as possible, the movement of the game balls supplied to the second stage 2512 can be made as uniform as possible It is possible to stabilize the release probability from the central guide portion 2512b and the side guide portion 2512c that discharge the game ball forward, and to make the motion of the game ball rolling on the second stage 2512 be the intended motion. Be able to.

  Further, as described above, since the amount of momentum in the horizontal direction is made as small as possible by passing through the drop hole 2511c, the game ball is delivered to the second stage 2512. It is possible to stabilize the probability that a game ball is released from the central guide portion 2512b and the side guide portion 2512c by rolling in the left-right direction as intended by the designer, so that the intended rolling effect of the game ball can be ensured. It can be shown to the player, and the movement of the game ball rolling on the stage 2510 can be enjoyed to prevent the player's interest in the game from being reduced.

  Further, as described above, the game ball delivered to the second stage 2512 can be prevented from greatly moving in the front-rear direction and can be prevented from falling off the second stage 2512. Of the second stage 2512 (second stage member 2533) can be made smaller in the front-rear direction, and the width of the first stage 2511 can be made the outer diameter of the game ball. On the other hand, since it is within the range of 1.2 times to 2.0 times, it is possible to relatively reduce the size of the first stage member 2532 and the second stage member 2533 in the front-rear direction, and the first stage member 2532 and A space of a predetermined width can be secured on the rear side of the second stage member 2533, and the back lower movable effect unit 3500 is disposed in the secured space. So that the can be a pachinko machine 1 that can amuse the skill person.

  The first stage 2511 is also provided with a front wall 2511a and a protective cover 2601 that are plate-like at both ends in the front-rear direction, and the game balls supplied on the first stage 2511 drop off from both ends in the front-rear direction of the first stage 2511. Therefore, the game ball can be reliably rolled in the left-right direction on the first stage 2511, and can be dropped from the drop hole 2511c or entered into the chance entrance 2513. It is possible to achieve the above-described effects.

  Further, in the first stage member 2532 (first stage 2511), a step portion 2511e is formed so as to be in contact with a pair of drop holes 2511c spaced apart in the left-right direction and to narrow the substantially central side in the left-right direction. The portion connecting the pair of step portions 2511e in 2511a is curved in the front-rear direction so that the width in the front-rear direction at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the first stage 2511 is wider than the width in the step portion 2511e, The game ball that has rolled between the pair of drop holes 2511c in the first stage 2511 has a narrow width in the front-rear direction due to the presence of the step portion 2511e, so that the game balls roll from this position to the drop hole 2511c side. Even if it moves, it can pass through the drop hole 2511c and roll to the end side without falling into the drop hole 2511c. It is possible to come and go the game ball to the left and right direction on the over-di-2511.

Cover member 3560 (see FIG. 171 and the like) attached to the front surface of cover upper rail support member 3554, and back bottom where drive gear 3559 is fixed to the front end of rotating shaft attached to the front surface of cover member 3560 and extending rearward And a left drive motor 3561.

  Further, the lower back left drive mechanism 3550 supports the driven pulley 3557 rotatably and is supported by the first rail 3552 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and the upper end is attached to the lower end of the pulley support member 3562. And a biasing member 3563 that has a lower end attached to the lower end of the drive mechanism base 3551 and biases the pulley support member 3562 downward.

  The back bottom left drive mechanism 3550 is supported by the first rail 3552 and the second rail 3553 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and is attached to the toothed belt 3558 between the first rail 3552 and the second rail 3553. A left slider 3564, an upper support shaft 3565 projecting forward from the upper front surface of the left slider 3564, a lower support shaft 3566 disposed below the upper support shaft 3565 and projecting forward from the lower front surface of the left slider 3564, It further includes a plurality of lift position detection sensors 3567 that detect the lift position of the slider 3564 and are attached to the drive mechanism base 3551.

  The drive mechanism base 3551 of the back bottom left drive mechanism 3550 is formed in a shallow box shape by bending the outer periphery of a metal plate having a predetermined thickness. The first rail 3552 and the second rail 3553 are both metal rods having the same diameter. The left slider 3564 includes a plate-shaped detection piece 3564a extending in the left direction. The detection piece 3564a of the left slider 3564 is detected by a lift position detection sensor 3567 attached to the left end front surface of the drive mechanism base 3551 in the assembled state.

  The upper support shaft 3565 and the lower support shaft 3566 projecting forward from the left slider 3564 in the lower back left drive mechanism 3550 are inserted into the upper left support hole 3511c and the lower left support hole 3511d of the decorative body base 3511 in the lower back movable decorative body 3510, respectively. In addition, a bush 3568 is attached to the front end. Accordingly, the left end of the lower back movable decorative body 3510 can be supported so as to be movable in the left-right direction within the range of the elongated left upper support hole 3511c and the lower left support hole 3511d.

  The back bottom left drive mechanism 3550 urges a pulley support member 3562 that rotatably supports a driven pulley 3557 disposed on the lower side by a biasing member 3563 made of a coil spring. 3557 can be urged away from the drive pulley 3556, and tension can be applied to the toothed belt 3558 wound around the toothed pulley 3556 a and the driven pulley 3557 of the drive pulley 3556. Thus, the drive pulley 3556 can be prevented from idling with respect to the toothed belt 3558.

  This back bottom left drive mechanism 3550 is driven by a gear portion 3556b of a drive pulley 3556 meshed with the drive gear 3559 when the back bottom right drive motor 3561 is driven to rotate the drive gear 3559, for example, in a clockwise direction when viewed from the front. The pulley 3556 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, and the toothed belt 3558 wound around the toothed pulley 3556a and the driven pulley 3557 of the driving pulley 3556 circulates around the second rail 3553 in the counterclockwise direction. Thus, the left portion of the second rail 3553 of the toothed belt 3558 moves in the ascending direction. The left slider 3564 fixed to the toothed belt 3558 on the left side of the second rail 3553, that is, between the second rail 3553 and the first rail 3552, is guided to the first rail 3552 and the second rail 3553. The toothed belt 3558 can move upward.

  The back bottom movable effect unit 3500 in the back unit 3000 of this example is located at the retracted position where the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 is lowered most in a normal state. In this state, as shown in FIG. The upper end of the lower back movable decorative body 3510 is positioned slightly above the lower inner edge of the window frame 2501 in the front view center accessory 2500, and a fence-like shape formed on the upper end of the lower back movable decorative body 3510. Only the decoration is visible from the player side.

  When the drive motors 3541 and 3561 of the left and right drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 are rotated in the same direction at the same speed from the normal state, the back bottom movable effect unit 3500 supports the left and right ends of the back bottom movable decoration body 3510, respectively. The left and right sliders 3544 and 3564 are simultaneously lifted at the same speed, and the lower back movable decorative body 3510 can be lifted in a substantially horizontal state. The detection pieces 3544a of the left and right sliders 3544 and 3564 , 3564a can be raised to the position (maximum appearance position) detected by the lift position detection sensors 3547, 3567 arranged on the uppermost side (see FIG. 174 (a)).

  In the state where the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 is in the most elevated position, as shown in FIG. 179, the center accessory 2500 covers about 3/4 of the height direction from the lower side (lower inner edge) of the window 2501. It is possible to give a strong impact to the player due to the appearance of a huge movable decorative body, and to attract the player's interest strongly.

  In addition, the lower back movable effect unit 3500 can drive the left and right drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 independently, and the upper right support hole 3511a supports the upper support in the right slider 3544 at the right end of the lower back movable decorative body 3510. The shaft 3545 is supported so as to be rotatable about the axis of the shaft 3545 and is supported by the upper and lower support holes 3511c and 3511d at the left end so as to be movable in the left and right directions with respect to the upper and lower support shafts 3565 and 3566 of the left slider 3564. Therefore, the back movable movable body 3510 can be tilted from a substantially horizontal state by changing the lift positions of the sliders 3544 and 3564 in the left and right drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 (FIG. 174 (b)). )).

  Accordingly, the backside movable decorative body 3510 can be moved in various ways, for example, the backside movable decorative body 3510 imitating a luxury passenger ship can be moved as if it is swaying on the ocean. On the other hand, it is possible to entertain a movable effect by the backside movable decorative body 3510. In addition, since the large and three-dimensional back movable movable body 3510 that can cover most of the window portion 2501 of the center accessory 2500 is provided, it is more suitable for the player than a plane effect image by the liquid crystal display device 1900. Can have a strong impact and can be expected to enhance the interest of the player.

  By the way, for example, when the driving pulleys 3536 and 3556 are arranged on the lower side, the driven pulleys 3537 and 3557 are arranged on the upper side and are urged upward by the urging members 3543 and 3563. In this state, when the load of the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 is applied via the sliders 3544 and 3564, a downward force is applied to the driven pulleys 3537 and 3557 via the toothed belts 3538 and 3558. The sliders 3544 and 3564 move downward together with the driven pulleys 3537 and 3557 against the urging force of the urging members 3543 and 3563 due to the acting force (load of the lower back movable decorative body 3510), and the lower back movable decorative body 3510 is moved. There is a problem of falling. However, in the lower back movable effect unit 3500 of this example, the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 for driving the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 are disposed above the sliders 3544 and 3564 in the left and right drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550. Therefore, between the sliders 3544 and 3564 in the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 and the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 (toothed pulleys 3536a and 3556a), due to the load of the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 via the sliders 3544 and 3564. Thus, the force acts in the downward direction, that is, the direction in which the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 extend, and the sliders 3544 and 3564 are dropped by the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 that are stopped by the braking of the drive motors 3541 and 3561. Can prevent The subplantar movable decorative body 3510 and is capable of lifting a desired position.

  Further, the lower back movable production unit 3500 of this example moves in the left-right direction by the horizontally long support holes 3511c and 3511d with respect to the left slider 3564 of the lower back left drive mechanism 3550 on the left end side of the back lower movable decorative body 3510. Since it is supported in a possible state, even if the left and right sides of the backside movable decorative body 3510 are moved up and down by separate drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550, a drive error between the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 is caused by the support holes 3511c and 3511d. It is possible to absorb, and the lower back movable decorative body 3510 can be moved up and down smoothly.

  Further, the lower back movable production unit 3500 of the present example includes a first rail 3532, a toothed belt 3538, 3558 arranged around the second rails 3533, 3553 in the left and right drive mechanisms 3530, 3550. 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553 are attached and fixed to the sliders 3544 and 3564, respectively. Therefore, when the sliders 3554 and 3556 are moved up and down by the toothed belts 3538 and 3558, the first rail The sliders 3554 and 3556 can be slid (lifted / lowered) so that the force is applied to the third rails 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553 substantially evenly, and the sliders 3554 and 3556 (movable body 3510) can be smoothly moved. It can be moved up and down.

  Thus, in this example, the game panel 1150 in which the frame-shaped center accessory 2500 having the window portion 2501 from the front side is attached to the opening 1158, and the window portion 2501 of the center accessory 2500 on the rear side of the game panel 1150. Between the liquid crystal display device 1900 that can be viewed from the player side through a large-sized backside movable decorative body 3510 that is larger than the width in the left-right direction of the liquid crystal display device 1900 and that can be covered more than half is disposed. A lower back right drive mechanism 3530 and a back lower left drive mechanism 3550 are slidably moved up and down on the left and right ends of the lower movable decorative body 3510. The drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 are connected to the back lower right drive motor. 3541 and a drive pulley 3536, 3556 that is rotationally driven by a lower back left drive motor 3561, and a drive pulley 3536, The driven pulleys 3537 and 3557 paired with 556 are respectively arranged on the lower side, and the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 are wound around the driving pulleys 3536 and 3556 and the driven pulleys 3537 and 3557, and the driven pulleys 3543 and 3563 are driven. Since the pulleys 3537 and 3557 are biased downward, even if the load of the back lower movable decorative body 3510 acts on the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 via the sliders 3544 and 3564, the force (back lower movable decorative The load of the body 3510) acts in the same direction as the urging force of the urging members 3543 and 3563, so that the tension applied to the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 is prevented from being canceled or weakened, and the drive pulley 3536, Slippage between 3556 and the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 is prevented. It can be, it is possible to reliably lift the subplantar movable decorative body 3510.

  In addition, the sliders 3544 and 3564 in the left and right drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 support the right side of the lower back movable decorative body 3510 so as to be rotatable and support the left side so as to be movable in the left and right directions. Even if the movement timings of the sliders 3544 and 3564 are shifted, the right side of the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 rotates and the left side escapes to the left and right so that the shift of the sliders 3544 and 3564 can be absorbed. It is possible to prevent the movement of the decorative body 3510 from becoming jerky or to stop moving, and the backside movable decorative body 3510 can be moved up and down reliably. Further, as described above, since the displacement of the movement can be absorbed by the left and right sliders 3544 and 3564, the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 that can slide the left and right sliders 3544 and 3564 in synchronization with each other with high accuracy, Therefore, the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 can be made inexpensive with relatively low slide accuracy, and an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, as described above, the back and bottom movable decorative body 3510 can be raised and lowered without any problem even if the right and left sliders 3544 and 3564 are displaced, so that the right and left sliders 3544 and 3564 are intentionally shifted. Thus, the backside movable decorative body 3510 can be tilted, and the movement variation of the backside movable decorative body 3510 can be increased to make it hard to get tired, and the backside movable decorative body 3510 that attracts the player's attention strongly. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  In addition, since the left and right ends of the backside movable decorative body 3510 are supported by the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 having different drive motors 3541 and 3561, the backside movable decorative body 3510 is lifted and lowered. However, the pachinko machine 1 can be sufficiently lifted and lowered, and the pachinko machine 1 can be provided with the large backside movable decorative body 3510. Also, the player can move up and down (movable effect) by moving the large backside movable decorative body 3510. A strong impact can be given, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted, and the player's interest can be suppressed from decreasing.

  Further, the lower back movable decorative body 3510 is moved up and down by drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 having toothed belts 3538 and 3558 wound around drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 and driven pulleys 3537 and 3557 that are separated in the vertical direction. Therefore, the back lower movable decorative body 3510 can be moved between the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 and the driven pulleys 3537 and 3557, and the back lower movable decorative body 3510 moves relative to the space related to the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550. The range can be increased as much as possible, and the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 can be vertically long and arranged on both the left and right sides of the liquid crystal display device 1900. It can be moved up and down greatly, and the liquid crystal can be moved by the backside movable decorative body 3510 The interest of the player by blocking the effect images of shows apparatus 1900 strongly can attract.

  In addition, drive motors 3541 and 3561 in left and right drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 that support and lift the large backside movable decorative body 3510 are arranged above the first rails 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553, respectively. Therefore, the backside movable decorative body 3510 and the like are positioned below the drive motors 3541 and 3561, and the heat from the drive motors 3541 and 3561 is applied to the backside movable decorative body 3510 and the like. The influence can be reduced as much as possible, and it is possible to prevent the back lower movable decorative body 3510 and the like from being deformed due to heat and causing problems. In addition, even if a large amount of heat is generated from the drive motors 3541 and 3561, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of problems due to heat, so that it is possible to perform driving that increases the load on the drive motors 3541 and 3561. It is possible to make the movable decoration body 3510 move vigorously and present a movable effect with higher impact to the player, and to delight the player and prevent the interest in the game from decreasing.

  Further, since the back-bottom movable decorative body 3510 larger than the width in the left-right direction of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is arranged on the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900, the back-bottom movable body 3510 can be moved by the driving mechanisms 3530 and 3550 on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900. By moving the decorative body 3510 and hiding a part of the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, the atmosphere in the game area 1100 can be greatly changed, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted. At the same time, a variety of effects can be presented by collaborating the movable effect by the backside movable decorative body 3510 and the image effect by the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the entertainment for the player is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, part of the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 passes between the first rails 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553 of the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 disposed on the left and right outer sides of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Since the sliders 3544 and 3564 are fixed to the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 between the first rails 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553, the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 are used. The force applied to the first rails 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553 from the sliders 3544 and 3564 can be distributed substantially evenly. Can be prevented from tilting. That is, when the sliders 3544 and 3564 are inclined, the sliding resistance between the sliders 3544 and 3564 and the first rails 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553 is increased, and the sliders 3544 and 3564 and the first rails 3532 and 3532 are increased. 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553 are worn out at an early stage, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems and the sliders 3544 and 3564 (the backside movable decorative body 3510) from moving. 3564 can be slid in a good state, and the lower back movable decorative body 3510 can be moved up and down reliably.

By changing the positions of the driven pulleys 3537 and 3557 in the front-rear and left-right directions, the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 are shaken together with the driven pulleys 3537 and 3557, and the toothed belts are driven from the driven pulleys 3537 and 3557 and the driving pulleys 3536 and 3556. 3538 and 3558 can be prevented from coming off, and the back-bottom movable decorative body 3510 can be reliably raised and lowered without causing a problem. In addition, since the driven pulleys 3536 and 3556 are supported by the second rails 3533 and 3553 so as to be slidable, the structure relating to the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 is compared with the case where the driven rotating body is slid by other members. Can be simplified, and an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

  Further, since the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 of the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 and the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 have teeth that can mesh with each other, the meshing of the teeth of each other results in the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 being engaged with each other. Slip between the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 can be prevented, and the rotation of the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 can be reliably transmitted to the toothed belts 3538 and 3558, so that the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 is provided. It can be moved up and down reliably. Further, as described above, the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 are arranged above the first rails 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553, and the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 are stopped even when the rotation of the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 is stopped. The teeth of 3536 and 3556 and the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 are meshed with each other, so that the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 are loaded by the load of the lower back movable decorative body 3510 applied to the toothed belts 3538 and 3558 via the sliders 3544 and 3564. And the drive pulleys 3536 and 3556 can be prevented from slipping and falling, the back lower movable decorative body 3510 can be prevented, so that the back lower movable decorative body 3510 can be stopped at a desired position. Various movable effects can be performed by the lower movable decorative body 3510, and the player can entertain and play. Interest can be inhibited from reduction against.

  Further, both ends of the first rails 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553 are supported by metal drive mechanism bases 3531 and 3551, and the first rails 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553 are firmly supported. Since the first rail 3532 and 3552 and the second rails 3533 and 3553 can be prevented from rattling or shaking as much as possible, the lower back movable decorative body 3510 can be moved without unnecessary shaking. It can be moved up and down smoothly, the backside movable decorative body 3510 can be made to move comfortably and entertain the player, and the backside movable decorative body 3510 can be reliably moved as intended, It is possible to suppress a player's interest from deteriorating by exerting a desired effect by the movable effect.

  Further, since the frame-shaped center object 2500 is provided, the drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 respectively disposed on the left and right outer sides of the liquid crystal display device 1900 can be made difficult to see from the player side.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 180 and 181, the game board 4 of the present example is associated with the back left movable effect unit 3200, the back bottom movable effect unit 3500, and the back right movable effect unit 3600 in the back unit 3000, respectively. It can be moved. Specifically, for example, first, the drive motors 3541 and 3561 of the left and right drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 in the under-back movable effect production unit 3500 are driven, and the under-back movable decorative body 3510 is slightly raised from the retracted position where it is most lowered. At the same time, the back right drive motor 3622 of the back right drive mechanism 3620 in the back right movable effect unit 3600 is driven to raise the back right movable decorative body 3610 to the raised position (see FIG. 180 (a)). At this time, the left and right drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 are so arranged that the under back movable decorative body 3510 repeats a slight vertical movement or slightly rolls (rotates around an axis extending in the front-rear direction). It is desirable to drive the drive motors 3541 and 3561 as appropriate, so that the luxury passenger ship imitated by the underside movable decorative body 3510 can be shown to the player as if traveling on the ocean. The player's interest can be sufficiently attracted to the movable decorative body 3510 (movable effect).

  In this state, the back left movable decorative body 3210 is driven by the back left drive motor 3224 of the back left drive mechanism 3220 in the back left movable effect unit 3200 from the outside of the left inner edge of the window 2501 in the center accessory 2500 to the window 2501. It appears inside (see FIG. 180 (b)). As a result, the back left movable decorative body 3210 simulating an iceberg appears on the left side of the front of the back movable movable body 3510 simulating a luxury passenger ship. It can be thought that it is, and it can make a player harassment and can entertain a movable production.

  Subsequently, with the back left movable decoration body 3210 appearing in the window portion 3501, the drive motors 3541 and 3561 of the left and right drive mechanisms 3530 and 3550 in the back bottom movable rendering unit 3500 are driven to move the back bottom movable decoration. The body 3510 is gradually raised higher, and the back right drive motor 3622 of the back right drive mechanism 3620 in the back right movable decoration unit 3600 is driven to gradually lower the back right movable decoration body 3610 (FIG. 181 (c)). reference). This allows the player to have the illusion that the luxury passenger ship as the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 gradually approaches and approaches the iceberg as the back left movable decorative body 3210. It is possible to increase the sense of harassment against the collision.

  When the lower back movable decorative body 3210 reaches the most elevated position, the back lower movable decorative body 3210 is largely rolled by driving the left and right drive motors 3541 and 3561, and the LED of the lower back decorative board 3514 is blinked. Thereby, it can be shown to the player that the luxury passenger ship (backward movable decorative body 3510) collides with the iceberg (backward left movable decorative body 3210).

  When the back lower movable decorative body 3510 is moved up and down or rolled, the back right movable decorative body 3610 is moved up and down in accordance with the movement of the back lower movable decorative body 3510. Specifically, for example, when the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 is raised, the back right movable decorative body 3610 is lowered, and when the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 is lowered, the back right movable decorative body 3610 is raised. As a result, the luxury passenger boat expressed by the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 and the back right movable decorative body 3610 is moved by the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 and the back right movable decorative body 3610 arranged at different positions in the front-rear direction. It is possible to make an illusion that it undulates back and forth (pitching is repeated), and the movable decoration bodies 3510 and 3610 can be illusioned like a real ship, making it possible to more enjoy the moving effect. Yes.

  Thereafter, the back lower movable decorative body 3210 is moved leftward from the window 2501 of the center accessory 2500 and positioned outside the left inner edge, and then the lower back movable decorative body 3510 is lowered in a tilted state. At the same time, the back right movable decorative body 3610 is lowered (see FIG. 181 (d)). Thereby, the player can be given an illusion that the luxury passenger ship (backward movable decorative body 3510) colliding with the iceberg (backward movable decorative body 3210) sinks.

  In this way, by performing a movable effect using the back left movable effect unit 3200, the back bottom movable effect unit 3500, and the back right movable effect unit 3600, a series of movable effects with a story can be performed. In addition, a stereoscopic effect different from the effect image (effect video) by the liquid crystal display device 1900 can be performed, and the player can be entertained and the interest in the game can be enhanced. Further, instead of the reach effect image displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 for the special lottery result, the back left movable effect unit 3200, the back bottom movable effect unit 3500, and the back right movable effect unit 3600 are used. You can also have movable performance.

  In the movable effect using the back left movable effect unit 3200, the back bottom movable effect unit 3500, and the back right movable effect unit 3600, the movable timings and the movable patterns of the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, and 3610 are appropriately combined. By doing so, it is possible to perform a variety of movable effects and make it difficult to get bored.

  As described above, in this example, the back left movable decorative body 3210, the back bottom movable decorative body 3510, and the back right movable decorative body 3610 having different shapes are disposed at different positions in the front-rear direction, and the back bottom movable decorative body. The body 3510 and the back right movable decorative body 3610 can be moved in the vertical direction so as to be hooked on the lower inner edge of the window 2501 of the center accessory 2500, and the back lower movable decorative body 3510 is moved below the lower inner edge. Therefore, for example, the rear right movable decorative body 3610 located on the upper side of the front lower back movable decorative body 3510 is relatively downward with respect to the front lower back movable decorative body 3510. In the case of movement, the visible area of the back right movable decorative body 3610 on the rear side gradually narrows, so that the movable decorative bodies 3510 and 3610 arranged in front and rear are left and right for the player. Can or to illusion as or is illusion as the front is rotated in the direction of increasing, is subplantar movable decorative body 3500 has been approached with respect to about an axis extending to the direction. Further, when the back right movable decorative body 3610 on the rear side located above the front back bottom movable decorative body 3510 moves relative to the front back bottom movable decorative body 3510, The visible range of the rear right movable decorative body 3610 on the rear side gradually increases, so the front side of the player moves downward with respect to the axis around which the movable decorative bodies 3510 and 3610 arranged in the front-rear direction extend in the left-right direction. It is possible to make an illusion that the user is turning in the direction of moving, or to make an illusion that the rear right movable decorative body 3610 is approaching. Accordingly, when a game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 is received into the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out, and the result of the special lottery drawn by the reception is displayed. Accordingly, when each movable decorative body 3210, 3510, 3610 is appropriately moved by each drive mechanism 3220, 3530, 3550, 3620, the player is responsive to the shape and movement of each movable decorative body 3210, 3510, 3610. It is possible to experience a three-dimensional illusion phenomenon, to enjoy a moving effect with perspective and stereoscopic effect, and to produce an impression that is completely different from the effect by the effect image, so that the player It is possible to strongly attract interest to the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610, and to suppress a decrease in interest in games.

  In addition, as described above, a movable effect such as perspective can be performed by the three movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, and 3610 arranged at different positions in the front-rear direction. Even if the position of the player changes compared to the effect image, it is possible to suppress as much as possible the loss of depth (stereoscopic effect), and the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610 can be obtained from any position. It is possible to entertain a movable production. Further, the three movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610 are moved in the window 2501 of the center accessory 2500, and the atmosphere in the window 2501 is increased by the movement of the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610. Because it can be changed, it can be recognized that it is different from other pachinko machines at a glance, can be differentiated from other pachinko machines, and strongly attracts the player's interest The pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as a pachinko machine to be played.

  Furthermore, since the two back-bottom movable ornament bodies 3510 and the back-right movable ornament body 3610 are moved in the vertical direction, they are arranged at different positions in the front-rear direction even if the player's eyes move. It is possible to prevent the movable decorative bodies 3510 and 3610 from overlapping with each other in the left-right direction (the positional relationship in the left-right direction) when viewed from the front, so that the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, The movable effect by 3610 can be shown as much as possible, and the player can be prevented from being entertained by the movable effect and the interest in the game can be prevented from being lowered.

  Further, since the back bottom movable decorative body 3510 moving in the vertical direction can be caused to appear and retreat into the window portion 2501 from the lower side, the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, and 3610 are only in the window portion 2501. Compared to the case of moving, the movable decorations 3210, 3510, and 3610 can be made more varied and difficult to get tired of, and various opportunities for the arrival of variations due to movement variations. Etc. can be suggested, and it is possible to suppress the interest of the game from deteriorating by making the player entertained.

  Further, the back left movable decorative body 3210 is hung on the left inner edge of the window portion 2501, and the back lower movable decorative body 3510 and the back right movable decorative body 3610 are hung on the lower inner edge of the window portion 2501, respectively. Since each movable decorative body 3210, 3510, 3610 can be made relatively easy to see, it is possible to cause the player to surely display the movable effects by the three movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610 and to exert the intended effect. It is possible to entertain the player and prevent the interest in the game from being reduced.

  Furthermore, the drive mechanisms 3220, 3530, 3550, and 3620 for moving and driving the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, and 3610 are disposed outside the window portion 2501 in a front view, and the drive mechanisms 3220, 3530, 3550, 3620 can be made difficult to see, so that the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 as a whole can be suppressed by seeing the drive mechanisms 3220, 3530, 3550, 3620, and the appearance can be improved. This pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as the pachinko machine to be used. Also, depending on the player, the driving mechanism 3220, 3530, 3550, 3620 for moving and driving the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610 can be seen, so that the characters and items represented by the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610 (here, , Icebergs, luxury cruise ship tips, luxury cruise ship bridges, etc.), and it may become difficult to enjoy the movable effects of the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, and 3610, which may lower the interest. As described above, since it is difficult to see the drive mechanisms 3220, 3530, 3550, 3620 from the player side, it is possible to reduce as much as possible the difficulty of emotion transfer to the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610. Can entertain and enjoy the moving effects of the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610 There can be suppressed.

  Further, since the liquid crystal display device 1900 capable of displaying a predetermined effect image is provided on the rear side of the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610 and the drive mechanisms 3220, 3530, 3550, 3620, each liquid crystal display device 1900 has each movable. By displaying the effect image combined with the movable effect by the decorative bodies 3210, 3510, and 3610, the movable effect can be further enhanced to increase the force of the movable effect or to make an illusion like a real game. A player can be entertained, and it can suppress that the interest in a game falls. In addition, as with conventional pachinko machines, the player can also be entertained by the effect of the effect image, so a variety of effects can be achieved by the effect of the effect image and the effect of the movable decorative bodies 3210, 3510, 3610. It can be presented to the player, the player can be entertained, and it can be hard to get tired, and the player's interest in the game can be prevented from decreasing.

  By the way, the game board 4 of this example is provided in the door frame 5 before the lower middle movable decorative body 3300 in the middle middle effect production unit 3300 is lowered into the window 2501 in the center accessory 2500 and appears. The LED mounted on each decorative board 214, 216, 254, 256, 286, 320, 322, 430, 432 can be made to emit light appropriately, and not only the game board 4 but also the door frame 5 It is possible to produce the used effects.

  Specifically, for example, the dial decoration board 430 and the button decoration board 432 in the operation unit 400 arranged at the center of the upper surface of the dish unit 300 are caused to emit light to give the player a dial operation section 401 or a press operation section 405. When the dial operation unit 401 or the like is operated, the LEDs on the upper right decorative board 320 and the upper left decorative board 322 of the dish unit 300 arranged on both sides of the operation unit 400 are displayed on the pachinko machine. The light is emitted from the center side of 1 toward the left and right outer sides. Further, the LEDs on the decoration substrates 214, 216, 254, and 256 provided in the left and right side decoration units 200 and 240 are caused to emit light so that the light moves from the bottom to the top. As a result, the light emitted from the operation unit 400 flows from the left and right sides along the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 toward the central lens 282 of the upper decoration unit 280 disposed at the upper portion. By this, the player's line of sight can be moved from the operation unit 400 (lower part of the game area 1100) to the central lens 282 (upper part of the game area 1100) of the upper decoration unit 280.

  Then, the LED of the upper decorative board 286 arranged on the rear side of the central lens 282 in the upper decorative unit 280 of the door frame 5 is caused to emit light, and the central lens 282 formed in a jewel shape is shined, thereby attracting the player's interest. Strongly directed toward the center lens 282. Thereafter, the LEDs of the decorative boards 214, 216, 254, 256, 286, 320, 322, 430, and 432 in the door frame 5 are turned off, and the upper and lower movable decorative bodies 3330 in the back unit 3000 of the game board 4 are lowered. The center ornament 2500 is positioned in the window 2501 and the LED 3334a of the back inner decorative board 3334 is caused to emit light, so that the back inner movable decorative body 3330 shines.

  Accordingly, the player's line of sight can be moved from the central lens 282 disposed above the game area 1100 to the back middle movable decorative body 3330 located substantially in the center of the game area 1100 (see FIG. 182). reference). Therefore, the player can be expected to have a higher expectation for the game by moving the line of sight from the operation unit 400 to the middle movable decorative body 3330 on the back, and can suppress a decrease in interest. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 182, the center lens 282 of the upper decoration unit 280 in the door frame 5 and the upper middle movable decoration body 3330 of the upper middle movable production unit 3300 in the game board 4 have substantially the same size. Since it has the same shape, the jewel-like central lens 282 provided at the top can be given an illusion as if it has fallen into the game area 1100, which surprises the player. It is possible to entertain a series of performances.

  Thus, in this example, the game ball that the player has driven into the game area 1100 by operating the handle device 500 (front of the rotary handle main body 506) disposed at the lower right corner of the door frame 5 is the first start port 2101. Or the second start opening 2102, a special lottery result that draws a predetermined number of game balls and may cause an advantageous gaming state in which the player has an advantage is drawn. Accordingly, the upper decoration unit 280, the right side decoration unit 200, the left side decoration unit 240, and the dish unit 300 disposed on the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 in the door frame 5 perform light emission decoration, and the center of the upper decoration unit 280. In the game board 4 similar to the lens 282, the back middle movable decoration 3330 of the back middle movable effect unit 3300 is moved from the retracted position to the liquid crystal display device 190. At the same time, it is decorated with light emission so that it can be seen from the player side. Therefore, the central lens 282 of the upper decoration unit 280 arranged on the upper part of the door frame 5 is placed in the game area 1100. It is possible to give an illusion that it appears as if it has moved inward, which can give a strong impact to the player, and to the player according to each unit 200, 240, 280, 300 of the door frame 5. It is possible to entertain a sense of unity with the light-emitting decoration (light-emitting effect) and the appearance of the movable decorative body 3330 on the back of the game board 4 (movable effect), and the player's interest in the game is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, the movable decorative body 3330 on the back of the game board 4 and the central lens 282 of the door frame 4 have similar shapes to each other, and even if the overall design of the game board 4 and the design of the door frame 5 are different, By allowing the movable decorative body 3330 on the back side similar to the lens 282 to appear, it is possible to cause the player to have the illusion that the game board 4 and the door frame 5 are designed with the same concept. 5 and the game board 4 can be enhanced, and the effects of the lighting decoration and movement of each unit 200, 240, 280, 300, 3300 can be fully exerted, and the interest of the player is reduced. The pachinko machine 1 can be controlled.

  In addition, when the back upper middle movable decorative body 3330 is moved to the appearance position, the back upper middle movable decorative body 3330 is made to emit light, so that the upper middle movable decorative body 3330 can be made conspicuous.

[3-4. LCD controller]
Next, as shown in FIG. 183, a liquid crystal control unit 4150 that performs drawing control of the liquid crystal display device 1900 on the peripheral control board 4010 stores a liquid crystal control MPU 4150a as a microprocessor, various processing programs, various commands, and various data.

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

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a includes a parallel I / O port, a serial I / O port, and the like, and controls the VDP 4160c based on control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 4140 to draw on the liquid crystal display device 1900. Control is in progress. If the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is operating normally, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control unit 4140. The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a receives an execution signal (to be described later) from the VDP 4150c, and performs interrupt processing when the output of the execution signal is stopped every 16 ms.

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

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

  When the screen data output from the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is input, the VDP 4150c extracts sprite data from the character RAM 4150e based on the input screen data and generates drawing data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. The generated drawing data is output to the liquid crystal display device 1900. Further, when the VDP 4150c does not accept the screen data from the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a, the VDP 4150c outputs an execution signal indicating that to the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a. The VDP 4150c employs a line buffer method. In this “line buffer system”, drawing data for one line for drawing the horizontal direction of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is held in the line buffer, and the drawing data for one line held in this line buffer is stored in the liquid crystal display device 1900. This is the output method.

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

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

  Note that the sprite is configured by bonding a plurality of rectangular regions of 64 pixels vertically and horizontally. Data for drawing this rectangular area is called a “character”. In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, it is expressed using a total of 6 characters arranged in 2 × 3 horizontal, for example. be able to.

[3-6A. Launch solenoid drive system]
As shown in FIG. 186, the drive system of the firing solenoid 654 is mainly composed of a firing control input circuit 4120a, an oscillation circuit 4120b, a firing timing circuit 4120c, a firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d, and a ball in the dispensing control board 4110. The feed solenoid drive circuit 4120e, the DC / DC converter 831a of the firing power supply board 831, the electrolytic capacitor SC0, the power factor improvement circuit 851b of the power supply board 851, and the smoothing circuit 851c are configured.

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

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

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 187 (a), the shunt regulator circuit 4121a mainly includes a shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0. The shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0 has a reduced temperature drift due to the ambient temperature, and can create and supply a stabilized power supply that is held at a constant voltage with respect to the load. The REF terminal that is the reference voltage input terminal and the K terminal that is the cathode terminal of the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0 are electrically connected to + 5.2V via the resistor PR2, and the resistor PR2 connects to the REF terminal. The input current is limited. The K terminal outputs +2.5 V to the amplifier circuit 4121b. This +2.5 V is smoothed by removing ripples (AC component convoluted with voltage) by the capacitor PC0 connected to the ground (the capacitor PC0 also serves as a low-pass filter). The A terminal, which is the anode terminal of the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0, is grounded to the ground (GND).

  Returning to FIG. 186, the amplifier circuit 4121b amplifies +2.5 from the shunt regulator circuit 4121a by a factor of 2, and creates DC + 5.0V (DC + 5.0V, hereinafter referred to as “+ 5.0V”). Then, it is supplied to the rotational position detection sensor 512 in the handle device 500 via the main-side relay terminal plate 880 and the handle device relay board 192.

  As shown in FIG. 187 (a), the amplifier circuit 4121b mainly includes an operational amplifier PIC1. The operational amplifier PIC1 is configured as a non-inverting amplifier circuit, and + 2.5V from the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit PIC0 of the shunt regulator circuit 4121a is applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC1, and the operational amplifier PIC1. One end of the inverting input terminal (− terminal) is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR3 whose ground is grounded, and the other end of the resistor PR4 whose one end is electrically connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier PIC1. And are electrically connected. The resistance values of the resistors PR3 and PR4 are set so that the amplification factor (flat loop gain) of the operational amplifier PIC1 is doubled. The output terminal of the operational amplifier PIC1 is, as described above, + 5.0V obtained by amplifying + 2.5V applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC1, the main relay terminal plate 880, and the handle. The rotation position detection sensor 512 in the handle device 500 is supplied via the device relay board 192. This +5.0 V is smoothed by removing ripples (AC component convoluted with voltage) by the capacitor PC2 connected to the ground (the capacitor PC2 also serves as a low-pass filter). Note that + 24V input to the power supply terminal of the operational amplifier PIC1 is smoothed by removing ripples by the capacitor PC1 grounded to the ground.

  Returning to FIG. 186, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is a three-terminal variable resistor, and one fixed terminal at both ends is supplied with +5.0 V from the above-described amplifier circuit 4121b, and the other fixed terminal at both ends is the handle. It is electrically connected to the resistor PR0 of the firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d in the payout control board 4110 via the device relay board 192 and the main relay terminal board 880. The other end of the resistor PR0 is grounded. From the variable terminal which is a terminal different from the fixed terminals at both ends of the rotational position detection sensor 512, it is possible to take out the divided voltage of the voltage applied to both ends according to the variable resistance value. The voltage taken out from the variable terminal of the rotational position detection sensor 512 is connected to resistances PR5 and PR6 (described later) in the firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d of the payout control board 4110 via the handle device relay board 192 and the main side relay terminal board 880. 187 (b)), and the divided voltage of the resistor PR6 is applied to the voltage comparison circuit 4121c as the firing intensity target voltage.

  As described above, the voltage extracted from the variable terminal of the rotational position detection sensor 512 of the handle device 500 is, as shown in FIG. 187 (b), via the handle device relay board 192 and the main relay terminal plate 880. The ripple (the AC component convolved with the voltage) is removed and smoothed by the grounded and grounded capacitor PC3 (the capacitor PC3 also serves as a low-pass filter), and the firing solenoid of the dispensing control board 4110 The voltage is applied to an operational amplifier circuit group configured as a voltage follower of the drive circuit 4120d. As shown in FIG. 187 (b), this operational amplifier circuit group mainly includes an operational amplifier PIC2 at the first stage and an operational amplifier PIC3 at the subsequent stage. The voltage from the handle device 500 is a voltage on the order of volts, and is applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the first-stage operational amplifier PIC2. The inverting input terminal (− terminal) of the first stage operational amplifier PIC2 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the first stage operational amplifier PIC2. The output terminal of the operational amplifier PIC2 in the first stage outputs the voltage applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+ terminal) of the operational amplifier PIC2 by a factor of 1, that is, as it is as a voltage in the order of volts. The first-stage operational amplifier PIC2 simply outputs the input voltage, which is a voltage in the order of volts, but outputs the voltage to the first-stage input-side circuit for applying the voltage from the handle device 500 and the subsequent-stage operational amplifier PIC3. Therefore, circuit separation from the first stage output side circuit is realized. Thereby, the voltage can be transmitted as a signal from the first stage input side circuit to the first stage output side circuit, and the influence of the first stage output side circuit can be prevented from being given to the first stage input side circuit. The + 24V input to the power supply terminal of the operational amplifier PIC2 is smoothed by removing ripples by the capacitor PC4 grounded to the ground.

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

  Returning to FIG. 186, the current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650 flows through the resistor PR1 whose one end is grounded, so that the voltage in the millivolt order that the resistor PR1 takes is used as a firing control voltage. 4121c. The voltage comparison circuit 4121c is also applied with the firing intensity target voltage, which is the voltage in the millivolt order described above. As described above, the firing control voltage and the firing strength target voltage to be compared by the voltage comparison circuit 4121c are, as described above, the resistance from the voltage on the order of volts to the voltage on the order of millivolts on the payout control board 4110 (launch solenoid drive circuit 4120d). The voltage is stepped down by the voltages that PR1 and PR6 handle. That is, since the wiring pattern is applied through the wiring pattern formed on the payout control board 4110, the wiring pattern is not easily affected by noise, and the voltage comparison circuit 4121c has a firing control voltage and a firing strength target voltage at a voltage in the millivolt order. Can be compared with each other, between the board device of the payout control board 4110 and the hitting ball launching device 650 and between the board devices of the payout control board 4110 and the handle device 500 via the wiring. Since the wiring is easily affected by noise, the influence of noise between the substrate devices is suppressed by using a voltage in the order of volts.

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

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

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

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

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

[3-6B. Input / output current and output voltage of DC / DC converter]
Next, the input / output current and output voltage of the DC / DC converter 831a will be described with reference to FIG. 188 with respect to the input current at the point TA and the output current and output voltage at the point TB shown in FIG. The TA point is a point for referring to the input current Iin of the DC / DC converter 831a, and the TB point is a point for referring to the output current Iout and the output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a. The output voltage Vout is a potential difference from the ground.

  First, the relationship between the output voltage Vout at the point TB and the output current Iout is such that the output current Iout increases as the output voltage Vout decreases from + 35V, as shown in FIG. 188 (a). Specifically, in the section A where the output voltage Vout is from + 35V to + 30V, the output current Iout is constant at about 360 mA, and in the section B where the output voltage Vout is from + 30V to + 20V, the output voltage Vout decreases as the output voltage Vout decreases. In section C where the current Iout increases from 360 mA to 400 mA and the output voltage Vout increases from +20 V to +10 V, the output current Iout increases from 400 mA to 660 mA by approximately 260 mA and the output voltage Vout increases by +10 V as the output voltage Vout decreases. In the section D from 1 to +5 V, the output current Iout increases from 660 mA to 1010 mA by about 350 mA as the output voltage Vout decreases. In the vicinity of +5 V to zero V, the output current Iout is approximately 1010 mA.

  As shown in FIG. 188 (b), the relationship between the input current Iin at the TA point and the output current Iout at the TB point is that the input current Iin decreases and the output current Iout increases as the output voltage Vout decreases from + 35V. It has become a relationship. Specifically, in the section A where the output voltage Vout is from + 35V to + 30V, the output current Iout is constant at about 360 mA, whereas the input current Iin is reduced by about 80 mA from 400 mA to 320 mA. In this section A, when a current corresponding to the rotational position of the front 506 of the rotary handle flows through the firing solenoid 654 and the input current Iin is larger than the output current Iout, the game ball launched toward the game area 1100 is still a game. While the firing intensity is difficult to reach the region 1100, when the current corresponding to the rotational position of the front 506 of the rotary handle body flows through the firing solenoid 654 and the input current Iin begins to become smaller than the output current Iout, The game ball launched toward the area 1100 has a launch intensity that reaches the game area 1100. In section B where the output voltage Vout is from + 30V to + 20V, the output current Iout increases from 360 mA to 400 mA by about 40 mA, while the input current Iin decreases from 320 mA to 260 mA by about 60 mA, compared with the output current Iout. Thus, the input current Iin is completely reduced. In the section C where the output voltage Vout is from + 20V to + 10V, the output current Iout is increased by approximately 260 mA from 400 mA to 660 mA, whereas the input current Iin is decreased by approximately 50 mA from 260 mA to 210 mA. The input current Iin is completely smaller than the output current Iout. In section D where the output voltage Vout is from +10 V to +5 V, the output current Iout is increased by about 350 mA from 660 mA to 1010 mA, whereas the input current Iin is decreased by about 35 mA from 210 mA to 175 mA. Similar to C, the input current Iin is completely smaller than the output current Iout.

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

[3-6C. Relationship between Input / Output Current and Output Voltage of DC / DC Converter and Firing Reference Pulse from Firing Timing Circuit] Next, DC / DC at the point TB shown in FIG. The output current Iout and output voltage Vout of the converter 831a and the firing reference pulse T0 from the firing timing circuit 4120c will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the TB point is a point for referring to the output current Iout and the output voltage Vout (potential difference from the ground) of the DC / DC converter 831a, and the TC point is a firing reference pulse from the firing timing circuit 4120c. This is a point for referring to T0.

  As described above, when the firing reference pulse T0 from the firing timing circuit 4120c allows the launching of the game ball by the launch solenoid 654, 100 game balls per minute, that is, 60000 ms, are directed toward the game area 1100. Since it is set so as to be ejected, as shown in FIG. 189 (a), its pulse width is 30 ms, and its period T is 600 ms.

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

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

  On the other hand, when the firing handle front pulse 506 from the firing timing circuit 4120c is input to the switching circuit 4121d of the firing solenoid drive circuit 4120d when the front of the rotary handle 506 is in the original rotational position, FIG. 189 (b), As shown in (d), the combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge of the electric charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor SC0 becomes the above-described minimum current, and is supplied to the firing solenoid 654. The flow starts (timing t0). When this minimum current is flowing to firing solenoid 654, the voltage of DC / DC converter 831a (the voltage of electrolytic capacitor SC0) slightly decreases according to the characteristics of DC / DC converter 831a shown in FIG. 189, but is shown in FIG. The value of the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a is 360 mA, which is the minimum output current described above. Then, after the input of the firing reference pulse T0, when 30 ms elapses and the input is stopped, the discharge of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is slightly advanced (timing t1). When the minimum current to the firing solenoid 654 is cut off, the output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a gradually recovers to + 35V. Accordingly, charging of electrolytic capacitor SC0 is started according to the characteristics of DC / DC converter 831a. Specifically, the output current Iout of the DC / DC converter 831a has a characteristic that the output current Iout increases as the output voltage Vout decreases as described above. Immediately after the minimum current is cut off, the output voltage Vout of the DC / DC converter 831a, that is, the output voltage of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 slightly falls, but belongs to the section A, and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is output from the DC / DC converter 831a. Charging is started by a current of 360 mA that is the current Iout, and then the charging is completed. This charging is already completed until the next firing reference pulse T0 is input (timing t2). That is, charging is completed within a period of 570 ms from the time when the current firing reference pulse T0 is input and 30 ms elapses until the next firing reference pulse T0 is input.

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

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

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

[3-6D. Relationship between firing reference pulse from launch timing circuit and ball feed reference pulse]
Next, the firing reference pulse T0 and the ball feeding reference pulse T1 from the firing timing circuit 4120c will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the TC point is a point for referring to the firing reference pulse T0 from the firing timing circuit 4120c, and the TD point shown in FIG. 186 refers to the ball feeding reference pulse T1 from the firing timing circuit 4120c. It is a point to do.

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

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

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

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

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

[3-7. Control processing on main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 4100 (particularly the main control MPU 4100a) will be described with reference to FIGS. 190 to 202. FIG. FIG. 190 is a flowchart illustrating an example of main processing in the main control board. FIG. 191 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing upon occurrence of power interruption. FIG. 192 is a flowchart illustrating an example of timer interrupt processing. FIG. 193 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the special control process. FIG. 194 is a flowchart showing the start opening winning process. FIG. 195 is a flowchart showing the variation start process. FIG. 196 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the variation pattern setting process. FIG. 197 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the changing process.

  FIG. 198 is a flowchart showing an example of the big hit game start process. FIG. 199 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the small hit game start process. FIG. 200 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the big hit game process. FIG. 201 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the small hit game process. The timer interrupt process is executed at a predetermined timing (every 4 ms in this embodiment) by the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100. FIG. 202 is an explanatory diagram showing a table configuration in the special symbol random number storage means.

  As shown in FIG. 190, in the main process, when the supply of power to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the main control MPU 4100a executes a process at power-on (step S1). In this power-on process, it is determined whether or not the backup data stored in the RAM 4100e is normal (is a set value when a power failure occurs). If normal, the backup data stored in the RAM 4100e is used. Executes processing to return to the power outage (power recovery processing), and if the backup data is abnormal, clears RAM 4100e and performs CPU peripheral device settings (normal initial settings, interrupt timing settings, etc.) Do.

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, as shown in FIG. 191, the power failure occurrence process is a process executed when a power failure warning signal is detected in the main process. First, the main control MPU 4100a performs an interrupt prohibition setting so that the interrupt process is not executed (step S4a). Then, the checksum of the RAM 4100e is calculated and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 4100e (step S4b). This checksum is used to check whether or not the content of the RAM 4100e before the power failure is retained at the time of power recovery.

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

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

  Further, in the normal control process in step S14, the normal symbol is changed based on the progress of the game, and the normal electric accessory (that is, the movable piece 2105 that opens and closes the second start port 2102 by the start port solenoid 2121) is controlled. Then, a process of changing the open / close state of the second start port 2102 is executed. In the special control process in step S15, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are variably displayed on the special symbol indicators 1185 and 1186 based on the progress of the game, or a special prize is obtained by the special electric accessory (that is, the attacker solenoid 2124). The opening / closing member 2106) for opening and closing the mouth 2103 is controlled, and processing for changing the open / closed state of the special winning opening 2103 is executed.

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

  Here, various random numbers that are updated by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 in the random number update process 1 (step S12) and the random number update process 2 (step S3) described above will be described. In this embodiment, as the various random numbers used in the game, the big hit determination random number used for determining whether or not to generate a big hit gaming state (including “small hit” described later) (big hit determination), the big hit determination A random number for a big hit symbol used to determine whether or not to make a promiscuous big hit when it is determined that a big hit gaming state is to be generated (probability change determination), a special symbol of A jackpot symbol random number used to determine the stop symbol, a reach determination used to determine whether or not to lose with a reach mode when it is determined that a big hit gaming state does not occur in the jackpot determination (reach determination) Random number, used to determine the variation display pattern (variation time) of the special symbol displayed on the special symbol indicators 1185 and 1186 Fluctuation display pattern random numbers (variation time random numbers), normal hit determination random numbers used for determining whether or not the movable piece 2105 that opens and closes the second start port 2102 is controlled to be in an open state (determination per normal lottery), etc. is there.

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

  Among these random numbers, in the random number update process 1, a big hit determination random number related to the occurrence of the big hit gaming state, a big hit symbol random number, and a normal symbol per random determination random number related to whether or not the movable piece 2105 is controlled to be opened. Update. That is, the random number used for the determination relating to the occurrence of the big hit gaming state and whether or not to control the movable piece 2105 to the open state is updated every 4 ms as a predetermined timing. By doing so, the probability (probability to determine that a big hit gaming state is generated, probability to determine that the movable piece 2105 is controlled to be opened) in a predetermined period with each random number can be made constant. It is possible to prevent the person from becoming disadvantaged. On the other hand, in the random number update process 2, the generation of the big hit gaming state and the reach determination random number not related to the normal lottery and the variable display pattern random number are updated.

  Next, in the special control process, the main control MPU 4100a executes the processes from step S20 to step S90 as shown in FIG. In the start opening winning process of step S20, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won the first start opening 2101 and the second start opening 2102, and a process of updating the lottery hold state is executed when winning. In the variation start process of step S30, the number of stored (holding number) in each big hit lottery is confirmed, and if the number of held (total number of stored) is not 0, the variation display of the corresponding special symbol is started. Set up. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a big hit gaming state (profit granting state) is to be generated (winning determination means), and if a big hit gaming state is to be generated, whether or not to be a promising big hit is determined. . In the variation pattern setting process in step S40, settings related to variation display of each special symbol and each decorative symbol are performed. Specifically, the variation display pattern of each special symbol is determined, and the variation time set corresponding to the variation display pattern (after the variation display of the special symbol is started by the special symbol display devices 1185 and 1186) Set the timer to the time until stop.

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

  In the big hit game start process (profit granting state control means) in step S60, settings for starting the big hit game state are performed. Although specifically described later, the number of times of opening / closing the opening / closing member 2106, the opening time, and the like are set according to the type of jackpot. In addition, in the small hit game start process in step S70, setting for starting the small hit game state is performed. Specifically, as described later, the number of times of opening / closing the opening / closing member 2106 at the small hit, the opening time, and the like are set. In the big hit game process of step S80, the big prize opening 2103 is opened and the opening / closing member 2106 is closed when a predetermined number of game balls have won the big prize opening 2103 or when a predetermined period has elapsed. Process. Further, if the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state has not reached the predetermined number, the process for making the opening / closing member 2106 open again is performed. When the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state has reached the predetermined number, the processing selection flag Is updated to “5”. In addition, after the number of rounds reaches a predetermined number, processing for generating a probability variation state and a short-time gaming state is executed (special gaming state control means).

  In the small hit game processing in step S90, the big winning opening 2103 is opened and the opening / closing member 2106 is closed when a predetermined number of game balls have won the big winning opening 2103 or when a predetermined period has elapsed. Perform the process. Although details will be described later, the opening of the big prize opening 2103 in the small hit game process is set so that the profit to the player is extremely low compared to the big hit game process (step S80). Next, specific processing in steps S20 to S90 will be described.

  Next, in the start opening winning process, as shown in FIG. 194, first, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is output from the second start opening sensor 2127, and the detection signal is output from the second start opening sensor 2127. In this case, it is determined that the game ball has won the second start port 2102 (YES in step S201). If no detection signal is output from the second start port sensor 2127, the game ball is input to the second start port 2102. Is determined not to win (NO in step S201). When it is determined in step S201 that the game ball has won at the second starting port 2102, various random numbers for the second big hit lottery (random numbers for big hit determination, random numbers for big hit symbols, etc.) are acquired and provided in the RAM 4100e. It is determined whether or not the value of the second pending number counter is less than 4 which is the upper limit value (step S202). If the second hold number counter is less than 4 in step S202, the second start hold storage process (step S203) and the hold history update process (step S204) are executed. If the value of the second hold number counter is 4 in step S202, the second start hold storage process and the hold history update process are not executed.

  On the other hand, when the detection signal is not output from the second start port sensor 2127 in step S201 (NO in step S201), or when the value of the second hold number counter is 4 (NO in step S202). Determines whether or not a game ball has won the first start port 2101 (step S205). Specifically, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is output from the first start port sensor 3102. When it is determined in step S205 that a game ball has won at the first start port 2101 (YES), various random numbers for the first big hit lottery are acquired, and the value of the first holding number counter provided in the RAM 4100e is the upper limit. It is determined whether or not the value is less than 4 (step S206). If the first hold number counter is less than 4 in step S206, the first start hold storage process (step S207) and the hold history update process (step S208) are executed. If the value of the first hold number counter is 4 in step S206, the first start hold storage process and the hold history update process are not executed.

  Subsequently, in the variation start process, as shown in FIG. 195, first, it is determined whether or not the process flag is “0”. If the process is not “0” (NO in step S301), the variation start process is terminated. In step S302, it is determined whether or not the values of the two reserved number counters (the first start memory number and the second start memory number) corresponding to the special symbol indicators 2390a and 2390b are “0”. Since the sum of the values in the two pending number counters indicates the number of random number values stored in the start memory storage area (special symbol random number storage means 4515, 2940 (see FIG. 202)), in step S302 If the value of any of the holding number counters is both “0” (YES), it is determined that the start condition regarding the first big hit lottery and the second big hit lottery is not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S317.

  On the other hand, if the value of any of the number-of-holds counters is not “0” in step S302 (NO), the start memory transfer process is executed (steps S303 to S311). As shown in FIG. 202 (a), the first special symbol random number storage means 4515 is provided with four storage areas (storage area [1] 4515a to storage area [4] 4515d). Each is associated with the value of the stored number (“1” to “4”). As shown in FIG. 202 (b), the second special symbol random number storage means 4532 is also provided with four storage areas (storage area [1] 4532a to storage area [4] 4532d). The two start memory numbers (“1” to “4”) are associated with each value. Each of the storage areas 4515a to 4515d and 4532a to 4532d includes a big hit determination random number storage area 4580 in which a big hit determination random number is stored, and a big hit symbol random number storage area 4581 in which a big hit symbol random number is stored. .

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, in the variation pattern setting process, as shown in FIG. 196, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “1”. The process after step S402 is executed, and if it is not “1” (NO in step S401), the variation pattern setting process is terminated. In step S402, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is “ON”. If the flag is “ON” in step S316 (YES in step S402), the probability variation jackpot or It is determined which of the big hits is a normal big hit (step S403). If it is a big hit with probability fluctuation (YES in step S403), it is determined whether or not it is a special hit (step S404). As will be described in detail later, any of the probability variation jackpots is “a probability variation state in which the probability that a specific profit is given in the subsequent lottery is set higher than usual, and any special symbol display 1185. When the special symbol changing time in 1186 is shortened (relatively shorter than normal time), and the ease of winning in the second starting port 2102 is increased more than usual, “Generating” is common, but it is set so that the degree of profit given to the player is greatly different between the probability fluctuation big hit that is a special hit and the general probability fluctuation big hit that is not a special hit.

  In other words, in general probability fluctuation big hit, the opening time per opening / closing member 2106 for opening / closing the big winning opening 2103 is set to a time that allows a plurality of (for example, ten) game balls to win with plenty of time. In addition, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 2106 is controlled to be performed many times (for example, 7 times) to give many benefits. On the other hand, in the probability variation big hit which is a special hit, the opening time per opening and closing member 2106 is set to a time that can barely win several (for example, one or two) game balls. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 2106 is controlled to be performed twice, for example.

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

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

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

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

  Subsequently, in the changing process, as shown in FIG. 197, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “2” (step S501), and when it is “2” in step S416 (step S501). If YES in step S502, the process after step S502 is executed. If it is not “2” (NO in step S501), the process under change is terminated. In step S502, the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 determines whether or not the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changing. It is determined whether or not the variation time of the symbol or the second special symbol is up (step S503). When the fluctuation time is up, that is, when the fluctuation time is ended (YES in step S503), the fluctuation is stopped (step S504).

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

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

  Next, in the jackpot game start processing, as shown in FIG. 198, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “3”. If it is “3” in step S506 (YES in step S601). ), The process after step S602 is executed, and if it is not “3” (NO in step S601), the big hit game start process is terminated. In step S602, it is determined whether or not the probability variation function is in operation, that is, whether or not it is in a probability variation state. To do. If the state is not the probability variation state, that is, if it is the normal low probability state (NO in step S602), the process proceeds to step S604 without executing the process of step S603. In step S604, it is determined whether or not the time saving function is operating, that is, whether or not the time saving gaming state is set. If the time saving gaming state is set (YES), the operation of the time saving function is stopped (step S605). The process proceeds to S606. On the other hand, if it is not the short-time gaming state (NO in step S604), the process proceeds to step S606 without executing the process in step S605.

  In step S606, it is determined whether the type of jackpot is a general jackpot or a special jackpot. If the jackpot is a general jackpot (NO in step S606), the big winning opening 2103 is opened by the opening / closing member 2106. The conditions, that is, the number of big hits to be released, the opening time per one time, and the winning limit number to the big winning opening 2103 are set (step S607). On the other hand, when the big hit is a special hit (YES in step S606), the special winning opening number, the limited number of winnings, and the opening time per time are set in the big winning opening 2103 (step S608). Thereafter, the process flag is updated to “5” (step S609), and the big hit game start process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in the small hit game start processing, as shown in FIG. 199, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “4”. If it is “4” in step S508 (YES in step S701). ), The processing of step S702 and step S703 is executed, and if the processing flag is not “4” (NO in step S701), the small hit game start processing is terminated without executing the processing of step S702 and step S703. To do. In step S702, the condition for opening the big prize opening 2103 in the case of a small hit, that is, the number of small hits for the big prize opening 2103 by the opening / closing member 2106, and the opening time per one are set. It should be noted that the number of times of opening in small hits, the number of winning restrictions, and the opening time are set to be the same as the conditions (step S608) set in the case of special hits. That is, the special hit and the small hit are set so that they cannot be visually discriminated. Thereafter, the process flag is updated to “6” (step S703), and the small hit game start process is terminated.

  Next, in the big hit game process, as shown in FIG. 200, first, it is determined whether or not the process flag is “5”, and if it is “5” in step S609 (YES in step S801). If the process after step S802 is not “5” (NO in step S801), the big hit game process is terminated. In step S802, it is determined whether or not the big prize opening 2103 is open. If it is open (YES), the opening time (elapsed time after opening) of the big prize opening 2103 is a predetermined time set in advance. Is reached (step S803), and if it has elapsed (YES in step S803), the open / close member 2106 is operated to close the special winning opening 2103 (step S805).

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

  On the other hand, if the big prize opening 2103 is not being opened in step S802 (NO), the number of times the big prize opening 2103 is opened by the opening / closing member 2106 is set in the number of big hits opened in step S607 or in step S608. It is determined whether or not the specified number of special hits has been reached (step S806). If it has not reached (NO in step S806), the open / close member 2106 is controlled to open the big winning opening 2103 (step S807), and the big hit game process is terminated. As a result, a large amount of game balls can be awarded to the big prize opening 2103.

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

  If the big hit is a special hit (YES in step S811), it is determined whether or not the probability variation function or the short time function is in operation (step S814). If it is not a special hit, that is, if it is a general probability fluctuation big hit (NO in step S810), or if a special hit is won when the probability fluctuation function or the time reduction function is already activated, The operation of the time reduction function is started (step S812), and then the processing flag is updated to “0” (step S813). In other words, the first special symbol or the second special symbol which is changed by the first special symbol indicator 1185 or the second special symbol indicator 1186 is shortened, and the movable piece 2105 is opened to the second start port 2102. Increase the ease of winning a prize. On the other hand, if the probability variation function and the time-shortening function are not in operation, that is, if the probability variation state and the time-saving gaming state have not occurred and the special win is won (NO in step S814), the time-shortening function The process proceeds to step S813 without operating.

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

  Next, in the small hit game processing, as shown in FIG. 201, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “6”. If it is “6” in step S703 (YES in step S901). ), The process after step S902 is executed, and if it is not “6” (NO in step S901), the small hit game process is terminated. In step S902, it is determined whether or not the number of game balls won for the grand prize opening 2103 has reached a preset maximum number of winnings (step S902). If the maximum number of winnings has not been reached yet (NO) ), It is determined whether or not the special winning opening 2103 is open (step S903). If it is determined in step S903 that the big prize opening 2103 is being opened (YES), the opening time (elapsed time after opening) of the big prize opening 2103 reaches a predetermined time set in advance. In step S904, if it has elapsed (YES in step S904), the open / close member 2106 is operated to close the special prize opening 2103 (step S905). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the number of times the special winning opening 2103 is opened has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, twice) (step S906). If the number has been reached (YES), the processing flag is set to “ It is updated to “0” (step S907), and the small hit game process is terminated.

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

[3-8. Control processing at peripheral control unit]
Next, processing executed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control unit 4140 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 203 is a flowchart showing an example of sub-main processing, and FIG. 204 is a flowchart showing an example of 16 ms steady processing. FIG. 205 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the command analysis process (step S1100). FIG. 206 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect control process (step S1200). FIG. 207 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the decorative symbol variation start process (step S1210).

  In the sub main process, as shown in FIG. 203, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs the initial setting process (step S1001). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing the peripheral control RAM 4140e mounted on the peripheral control unit 4140 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S1001) is completed, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set is started (step S1002).

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

  In the 16 ms steady process, the decoration boards 214, 216, 254, 256, 286, 320, and 322 provided in the liquid crystal display device 1900, the door frame 5, and the game board 4 based on the effect command received from the main control board 4100. , 430, 432, 3014, etc., and processing for controlling the speakers 130, 222, 262, 821, etc. of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 are executed. When the 16 ms steady process ends, the process returns to step S1002 again, and every time the 16 ms elapse flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms, steps S1003 to S1004 are repeated. On the other hand, when the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S1002 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

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

  In the sound control process in step S1300, a control process related to the speakers 130, 222, 262, and 821 for generating a sound effect (for example, BGM) that promotes the effect is executed. In the light emission decoration control process of step S1400, the control process regarding the light emission decoration by each decoration board | substrate 214,216,254,256,286,320,322,430,432,3014 with which the door frame 5 or the game board 4 was equipped is performed. Run. In the information output process in step S1500, an effect command is transmitted to the lamp driving substrate 4160. In the random number update process of step S1600, a process of updating random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S1200) is executed.

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

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

  Next, in the command analysis processing, as shown in FIG. 205, first, it is determined whether or not an effect command has been received from the main control board 4100 (step S1101). In this embodiment, when an effect command is received from the main control board 4100, other processing such as 16 ms steady processing is interrupted to generate command reception interrupt processing, and the received command is transmitted to the peripheral control of the peripheral control unit 4140. The received command storage area in the RAM 4140e is saved. The reception command storage area is provided with a plurality of areas corresponding to the reception order of the production commands, and in the command reception interrupt process, the reception command storage areas are stored in the respective areas corresponding to the reception order of the production commands. In step S1101, the contents of the received command storage area are confirmed, and if the effect command is stored, the effect command in the reception order of the reception command storage area is read (step S1102).

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

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

  Subsequently, in the effect control process, as shown in FIG. 206, any one of steps S1210 to S1230 is performed with reference to the value of the process selection flag indicating the progress state of the game.

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

  In the decorative symbol variation process (step S1220) executed when the processing selection flag is “1”, when the variation stop command is received, a display command is transmitted to the liquid crystal control unit 4150 to stop the variation symbol variation display. Do.

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

  Next, in the decorative symbol variation start process, as shown in FIG. 207, first, it is determined whether or not the variation display pattern reception flag is set (step S1221). The variation display pattern reception flag is a flag that is set in step S1104 of the command analysis process (step S1100) described above and indicates that a variation display pattern command has been received from the main control board 4100. If the variable display pattern reception flag is not set in step S1221, (NO), it is determined that the variable display pattern command has not been received, and the process ends.

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

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

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

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

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

[4-1. Functional configuration for games on the main control board]
Next, a functional configuration relating to a game such as a special symbol controlled by the main control board will be described with reference to FIGS. 208 to 211. FIG. 208 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration relating to the first big hit lottery on the main control board. FIG. 209 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration related to the second big hit lottery on the main control board. FIG. 210 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration relating to an advantageous gaming state generated according to the lottery results in the first big hit lottery and the second big hit lottery. FIG. 211 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration related to the normal lottery on the main control board.

  As shown in FIG. 208, the main control board 4100 includes a first hit determination table 4501, a first hit symbol table 4502, a first hit variation time setting table 4503, and a configuration related to the first big hit lottery. A first lose time variation time setting table 4504 is stored in advance. Based on these tables 4501 to 4504, whether or not the lottery is determined in the first big hit lottery, the stop symbol in the first special symbol display 1185, and the variation time. Is determined. The first hit determination table 4501 shows the relationship between the big hit determination random number and the success or failure of the big hit or the small hit, and the winning ratio is different between the normal time and the high probability. The first winning symbol table 4502 shows the relationship between the big winning symbol random value and the stop symbol in the first special symbol indicator 1185. Each of the big winning symbol random values divided into a plurality of groups. The range is associated with the lighting state of the two LEDs (first special symbol).

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

  Further, when a winning to the first start port 2101 is detected by the first start port sensor 3102 on the main control board 4100, a first hit determination that extracts a big hit determination random number from a random counter (random number generating means). Random number extracting means 4507 and first hit symbol random number extracting means 4508 for extracting big hit symbol random numbers are provided. Also, first variation time random number extraction means 4509 is provided for extracting variation time random numbers based on the determination random number and jackpot symbol random number. When the big hit determination random number is extracted by the first hit determination random number extracting means 4507, the first hit determination means 4506 for determining whether or not the big hit is determined using the first hit determination table 4501, and the first hit symbol When the big hit symbol random number is extracted by the random number extracting unit 4508, the first stop symbol determining unit 4510 for determining the stop symbol in the first special symbol indicator 1185 using the first hit symbol table 4502 is provided. Yes.

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

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

  Further, the main control board 4100 has a fixed number of balls (four times) when a winning to the first start port 2101 is detected by the first start port sensor 3102 during the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. ) Is counted as an upper limit, and the first start memory number is counted and stored, and the first reserved digest means 4514 is provided for repeatedly displaying the first special symbol as many times as the start memory number. In other words, the first holding digesting means 4514 for waiting for the execution of the first process based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port sensor 3102 is provided. The first hold digesting means 4514 will be described in more detail. The first hold digesting means 4514 is provided with a first hold control means 4514a and a first digestion control means 4514b. If a winning at the first start port 2101 is detected by the first start port sensor 3102 during the change of the one special symbol or the second special symbol, the first start memory number must reach the upper limit value “4”. For example, the value of the first start memory number is increased by “1”, the first big hit determination random number and the first big hit symbol random number are extracted, and each of the extracted random numbers is used as the first special symbol random number storage means 4515 ( In the uppermost storage area in FIG. 212).

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

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 209, the main control board 4100 has a second hit determination table 4521, a second hit symbol table 4522, and a second hit variable time setting table 4523 as the configuration related to the second big hit lottery. , And a second loss time variation time setting table 4524 is stored in advance. Based on these tables 4521 to 4524, whether or not the lottery is selected in the second big lottery, the stop symbol in the second special symbol indicator 1186, and The variation time is determined. Since the configuration of each table is the same as the configuration of each table in the first big hit lottery, detailed description is omitted here.

  The main control board 4100 has second hit determination random number extraction means 4525 for extracting a big hit determination random number related to the second big hit lottery when the second start port sensor 2127 detects a winning at the second start port 2102. And second random number random number extracting means 4526 for extracting the big hit symbol random number for the second big hit lottery, and the second random number extracting unit for extracting the variable time based on the determination random number and the big hit symbol random number Means 4527 are provided. Further, when the big hit determination random number extraction means 4525 extracts the big hit determination random number, the second hit determination table 4521 using the second hit determination table 4521 and the second hit determination unit 4528 for determining whether or not the big hit is determined. When the big hit symbol random number extraction means 4526 extracts the big hit symbol random number, the second special symbol display unit 1186 uses the second special symbol display unit 1186 to determine the stop symbol in the second stop symbol determination unit 4529. Yes.

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

  The special symbol variation control means 4512 starts the second special symbol variation in the second special symbol indicator 1186, and after the variation time determined by the second variation time determination unit 4530 has elapsed, the second stop symbol variation is performed. Fluctuation is stopped at the stop symbol determined by the determining means 4529. Further, the main control board 4100 has a fixed number of balls (four times) when the second starting port sensor 2127 detects a winning to the second starting port 2102 while the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed. ) Is counted as an upper limit and the second starting memory number is counted and stored, and the second reserved digesting means 4531 is provided for repeatedly displaying the variation of the second special symbol by the starting memory number. In other words, the second reserved digesting means 4531 for waiting for execution of the second process based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port sensor 2127 is provided.

  The second hold digesting means 4531 will be described in more detail. The second hold digesting means 4531 is provided with a second hold control means 4531a and a second digestion control means 4531b. If a winning to the second start port 2102 is detected by the second start port sensor 2127 during the change of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the second start memory number has reached the upper limit value “4”. If not, the value of the second start memory number is increased by “1”, the second big hit determination random number and the second big hit symbol random number are extracted, and the extracted random numbers are used as the second special symbol random number storage means 4532. (See FIG. 212) in the highest storage area. On the other hand, when the first special symbol or the second special symbol stops changing and the second second special symbol can be changed, the second digestion control unit 4531b sets the start memory number related to the second special symbol to “ If not “0”, the second big hit determination random number and the second big hit symbol random number are read from the storage area corresponding to the start memory number [1], the second start memory number is decreased by “1”, and Each random number value stored in each storage area n is shifted to n-1 storage areas.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 210, the main control board 4100 has five advantageous games for giving a game state advantageous to the player on the basis of the lottery result by the first success / failure determination means 4506 or the second success / failure determination means 4528. State control means is provided. Here, the advantageous gaming state includes opening the opening / closing member 2106 and enabling the winning of the game ball to the big winning opening 2103, and the specific profit granting means 4540 or the predetermined profit giving means 4541. The opening / closing member 2106 is controlled to be opened by an attacker solenoid 2124 of the attacker unit 2100.

  More specifically, the predetermined profit granting unit 4541 sets the opening time per opening / closing member 2106 as a first predetermined time that allows several (for example, 1 to 2) game balls to be able to barely win, By performing the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 2106 at least once (twice in this example), a predetermined profit is given to the player. As a result, a predetermined number of game balls can be won in the big winning opening 2103, but since the number that can be won is very small, the profit received by the player is relatively small. On the other hand, the specific profit granting unit 4540 sets the opening time per opening / closing member 2106 to a second predetermined time so that a plurality of (for example, 10) game balls can be won with a margin, and the opening / closing member By performing the opening / closing operation 2106 more times (in this example, 7 times) than the number of opening / closing operations in the case of giving a predetermined profit, a specific profit is given to the player. As a result, a large number of game balls can be awarded to the big prize opening 2103, and the player can obtain a large profit.

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

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

  In the first advantageous game state, the first special symbol display unit 1548 or the second special symbol display unit 1186 causes the first special symbol display unit 1548 or the second special symbol display unit 1186 to change the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. In addition to shortening, the frequency at which the movable piece 2105 of the second start port 2102 is opened and closed until the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol or the second special symbol reaches a predetermined number (that is, the probability of winning in the normal lottery) is increased. By doing so, the easiness of winning a prize to the second starting port 2102 is increased as compared with the normal time. In other words, the short-time gaming state is set.

  The second advantageous gaming state generated by the second advantageous gaming state control means 4543 is a so-called “ordinary big hit”, and occurs when the lottery result of the first winning / failing determining means 4506 or the second winning / failing determining means 4528 is the second result. To do. At this time, the specific profit is given by the specific profit granting means 4540 in the same way as in the first advantageous gaming state, but in this case, the probability that the specific profit will be given in the subsequent lottery Remains a low probability. That is, the probability fluctuation state is not entered, and the normal probability is maintained. Even in the second advantageous gaming state, the time is reduced by the temporary short state setting means 4548 until the predetermined number of times the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed after the specific profit is given. It becomes a gaming state, shortens the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and increases the frequency with which the movable piece 2105 is opened and closed (that is, the probability of winning in the normal lottery), thereby holding the ball of the game ball Suppress.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In addition, the ratio of the first big hit or the fifth big hit that gives a specific profit to the first big hit or the second big hit is higher in the second winning / decision determining means 4528. In the jackpot lottery by the first hit / fail determining means 4506, it is possible to limit the occurrence of jackpots to which a specific profit is given to some extent while opening the opening / closing member 2106 in the attacker unit 2100 relatively frequently. On the other hand, in the jackpot lottery by the second winning / decision determining means 4528 that is substantially effective in the short-time gaming state, there is a high possibility that a specific profit will be given. In addition, it is possible to suppress a decrease in gaming motivation.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 211, the main control board 4100 has, as a configuration related to a normal lottery (lottery for increasing the ease of winning a prize at the second start port 2102), a normal hit determination random number extraction means 4551, A normal hit determination table 4552 and a normal hit determination unit 4553 are provided. The normal hit determination random number extraction unit 4551 extracts a normal hit determination random number from a random counter (random number generation unit) when the gate sensor 2402 detects the passage of the game ball to the gate unit 2401. Further, the normal hit determination table 4552 is divided into a high probability table and a normal probability table. In the high probability normal hit determination table, 251 normal hit determination random numbers from 0 to 250 are stored. Of these, 250 determination values for normal hit are set, and the probability of normal hit is 250/251.

  On the other hand, in the normal normal hit determination table, among the 251 normal hit determination random numbers from 0 to 250, 0 determination values for normal hit are set, and the probability of normal hit is 0/251. ing. In the normal lottery at high probability, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 13.56 seconds, the opening time of the movable piece 2105 by the start port solenoid 2121 is 1180 ms, the number of times of opening is 3, and the interval between opening is It is set to 512 ms. On the other hand, in the normal lottery at the normal time, the average symbol variation time is set to 13.6 seconds on average, the opening time of the movable piece 2105 is set to 180 ms, and the number of times of opening is set once.

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

  In addition, when the normal lottery determination unit 4553 determines whether or not the normal lottery is determined on the main control board 4100, the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display 1189 in a variable manner, and the change time (about 14 seconds or about 1 second). After the elapse of time, a normal symbol variation control means 4555 for displaying the result of the success / failure is provided. Further, when the normal hit determination unit 4553 determines that the normal hit is determined, after the normal symbol fluctuation is stopped, the movable piece 2105 is opened, and the opening control unit 4556 that makes it easy to win the game ball in the second starting port 2102. Is provided.

[4-1A. Game contents by main board]
Next, game contents by the main board 4000 including the main control board 4100 and the payout control board 4110 will be described. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 is moved to the game panel 1150 when the player rotates the handle device 500 arranged at the lower right of the door frame 5. The game area 1100 is placed in front of the game area 1100, and a game with a game ball is started. A game ball that is driven into the upper part of the game area 1100 flows down in the game area 1100 on the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the driving strength.

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

  When the game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 flows down from the left and right sides to the upper shelf 2301 of the center accessory 2500, the upper shelf 2301 moves to the left area of the center accessory 2500. It is induced. When a game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the gate portion 2401 arranged on the left side of the center accessory 2500 and is detected by the gate sensor 2402, it is used for a normal hit determination as a normal lottery result. A random number is extracted. Then, based on the normal hit determination random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1189 in the function display unit 1180 is variably displayed (the normal symbol display 1189 consisting of one LED emits light in red, green and orange alternately. ), And a normal symbol based on a random number for normal hit determination (ordinary lottery result) extracted after a predetermined time (for example, between 2 seconds and 30 seconds) is stopped (normal symbol indicator 1189 is displayed in red or green) ). The normal symbol variation display is performed based on the normal symbol variation pattern selected from the ordinary hit determination table 4552 (ordinary symbol variation pattern selection table).

  Specifically, if the selected random number is a “normal hit” random number, the normal symbol indicating the winning is stopped (the normal symbol indicator 1189 emits green light), and the selected normal random number is a “normal lose” random number. In the case of, stop display is performed with a normal symbol suggesting a loss (the normal symbol indicator 1189 emits red light). Then, when a normal symbol suggesting a hit is stopped and displayed, the pair of movable pieces 2105 that close the second start port 2102 expands for a predetermined opening time (for example, between 0.3 seconds and 3 seconds). The game ball can be awarded to the second start port 2102 by repeating a predetermined number of times (for example, 1 to 3 times).

  Note that the variation time of the normal symbol and the expansion time of the movable piece 2105 at the second start port 2102 are changed according to the first hit determination random number or the second hit determination random number (special lottery result). As a result of special lottery, when “short time per hour (including normal short time per hour, high probability per short time, etc.)” is extracted, it is normal to change the fluctuation time and expansion time to a short time. The hit determination table 4552 can be replaced from a normal table to a high probability table.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, an area where a game ball can flow is provided on the upper side of the center accessory 2500 from the center in the left-right direction to the left side, but the right side from the center follows the outer periphery of the game area 1100. An arc-shaped area extending downward is provided, and when a game ball enters this area, the game ball is sent to the lower side of the center accessory 2500 without obtaining an opportunity to enter the gate portion 2401 or the warp inlet 2504. As a result, the chances are reduced and the movement of the game ball becomes less enjoyable. Therefore, the player plays the game by adjusting the amount of rotation of the handle device 500 as appropriate so that the game ball flows down from the center in the left-right direction on the upper side of the center accessory 2500 to the left side. It is possible to suppress the game operation that is strongly driven and to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by enjoying the game by the operation of the original handle device 500 of the pachinko machine 1.

  By the way, in this example, when the passing of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2402 while the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display 1189 while the normal symbol is variably displayed, the normal symbol that is changing is stopped and the normal symbol generated and extracted first. Until the result of the random number is determined, the normal hit determination random number (including the normal symbol variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2402 is temporarily stored and the display is suspended. The number of random numbers for determining normal hits (also referred to as the number of holds) is displayed on the normal symbol storage display 1188. This normal symbol memory display 1188 is composed of four LEDs, and suggests the number of memories by the number of LEDs that are lit. In this example, up to four are stored and the number of pending is displayed. It is like that. In addition, when the number of holdings exceeds four, the random numbers for normal hit determination extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2402 are discarded.

  In addition, the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 and has flowed down the left side of the center role 2500 is played under the center role 2500 by the shelf 2301a of the side guide member 2300 and the shelf 2211a of the side prize opening member 2200. The area 1100 can be moved toward the center. When a game ball wins a general winning opening 2201 disposed below the center bonus 2500 and is detected by the general winning opening sensor 3104, the main control board 4100 pays out a payout control board 4110 based on the detection signal. A predetermined payout command is sent to the payout control board 4110 according to the payout command, and the payout motor 744 of the prize ball device 740 is controlled so that a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are placed on the upper plate 301. To be paid out.

  If a game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 does not win any of the general winning opening 2201, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the big winning opening 2103, the game area 1100 It is provided at the lower center in the left-right direction and is discharged from the out port 1151 to the lower rear side of the game board 4. In addition, regardless of whether the game ball wins the general winning port 2201, the first starting port 2101, the second starting port 2102, or the big winning port 2103, the winning game ball is returned to the gaming area 1100. The game board 4 is discharged to the lower rear side.

  On the other hand, when the game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2504 that opens on the left side surface of the center accessory 2500, the game ball is supplied to the upper first stage 2511 of the stage 2510 of the center accessory 2500. It has become so. The game ball supplied onto the first stage 2511 rolls on the first stage 2511 in the left-right direction, falls from the drop hole 2511c, and is supplied onto the second stage 2512. Even in the second stage 2512, the game ball rolls in the left-right direction and is released into the game area 1100 above the attacker unit 2100. When the game ball supplied to the stage 2510 enters the chance entrance 2513 on the center rear side in the first stage 2511, the game ball 125 enters the game area 1100 from the chance exit 2514 disposed immediately above the first start port 2101 in the attacker unit 2100. The game ball is received into the first start port 2101 with a high probability. When a game ball is received by the first start port 2101 and detected by the first start port sensor 3102, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls from the prize ball device 740 via the main control board 4100 or the like. Is paid out to the upper plate 301.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the first start port 2101, the second start port 2102, and the big prize opening 2103 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, so that the game balls released from the stage 2510 are The first start port 2101 and the like are received with high probability. When the second start port 2102 and the grand prize winning port 2103 are acceptable, the game ball is received when it is released from the stage 2510 or the chance exit 2514. Since there is a high possibility, not only the first starting port 2101 but also the second starting port 2102 and the prize winning port 2103 can be expected to have a sense of expectation regarding the acceptance of game balls, and the interest can be enhanced. Yes.

  By the way, when the game ball enters the gate part 2401 and is detected by the gate sensor 2402 and “normal hit” is selected as the normal lottery result, as described above, the pair of movable pieces that close the second starting port 2102 is closed. When the game ball is received in the second start port 2102 and detected by the second start port sensor 2127 when the 2105 is expanded for a predetermined time and can be won, the main control board 4100 and the like are Accordingly, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out from the prize ball device 740 to the upper plate 301.

  In the main control board 4100, when a game ball wins the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 and is detected by the first start port sensor 3102 and the second start port sensor 2127, the first start is started. The port 2101 extracts a predetermined first hit determination random number, and the second start port 2102 extracts a predetermined second hit determination random number. Then, based on the extracted hit determination random number, after the special symbol variation display displayed on the corresponding first special symbol display 1185 or second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 is started, The special symbol corresponding to the extracted winning determination random number is stopped and displayed as a special lottery result. When the special symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol indicator 1185 or the second special symbol indicator 1186 in a manner suggesting “big hit”, the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is opened / closed in a predetermined pattern. A special advantageous gaming state (for example, a big hit game) occurs, and a game ball is awarded to the big prize opening 2103 during that time, so that more game balls can be obtained. When a single game ball wins the big prize opening 2103, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 301 from the prize ball device 740.

  Note that, in the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 as well, the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display are displayed in the same manner as the normal symbol variation display due to the game ball entering the gate portion 2401. In 1186, when the special symbol is variably displayed, or when the special symbol such as the big hit game as the special advantageous gaming state cannot be variably displayed, the game ball is awarded to the start ports 2101 and 2102 and the first start port sensor 3102 is displayed. When detected by the second start port sensor 2127, the first symbol extracted based on the detection signals from the first start port sensor 3102 and the second start port sensor 2127 until the special symbol change display is possible. The random number for hit judgment and the random number for judgment of second hit are stored and the display is suspended, and the stored number of random numbers for hit judgment is stored in the first special symbol. So as to display in 憶 display 1184 and the second special symbol memory indicator 1187. The first special symbol memory display 1184 and the second special symbol memory indicator 1187 are each composed of two LEDs, so that the number of memories is suggested by the combination of the light emission state of each LED that is turned off / on / flashing. In this example, up to four each are stored and displayed. In addition, when the number of holdings exceeds four, the extracted random numbers for hit determination are discarded.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, the first hit determination random number extracted based on the detection of the first start port sensor 3102 and the second start port sensor 2127 and the second hit determination random number are determined in advance. By collating with predetermined predetermined hit determination tables 4501 and 4521 (also referred to as special symbol variation pattern tables), the hit determination random number is any one of “lost”, “small hit”, and “big hit”. In addition, it is also determined whether “big hit” is “2R big hit” or “15R big hit”. In addition, the hit determination tables 4501 and 4521 can also determine “short change-free hits”, “probable change hits”, “short-time hits”, “short wins during correct change”, and the like.

  Then, the first hit determination random number and the second hit determination random number extracted (lottery) triggered by the start winning of the game balls to the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 (the special lottery result is), In the case of “small hit”, the main control board 4100 has an opening / closing pattern that closes the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 in an open state for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). It is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice).

  On the other hand, when the extracted first hit determination random number or second hit determination random number is “big hit”, the main control board 4100 opens the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 for a predetermined time (for example, , Approximately 30 seconds), or when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls satisfy the winning prize opening 2103 when any of the winning conditions is satisfied, the opening / closing pattern that closes the opening / closing member 2106 (one opening / closing) The pattern is referred to as one round), and is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). When the “2R big hit” is repeated, two rounds are repeated. An advantageous advantageous gaming state is generated. For the “big hit” after the predetermined number of rounds, the hit determination table is changed to a high probability table according to the extracted hit determination random number. Further, the variable time setting tables 4503, 4504, 4523, and 4524 are appropriately changed in order to set the time-short state or cancel the time-short state according to the hit determination random number.

[4-2. Functional configuration for games on peripheral control board]
Next, a functional configuration relating to a game including the first decorative symbol, the second decorative symbol, and the common decorative symbol sequence on the peripheral control board 4010 will be described with reference to FIG. 212. FIG. 212 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration related to effects on the peripheral control board (mainly the peripheral control unit 4140 and the liquid crystal control unit 4150).

  As shown in FIG. 212, the peripheral control board 4010 of this example controls the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the control information command transmitted from the main control board 4100 when it is received by the command receiving means 4560. Various functions are provided. That is, as the effect table corresponding to the first big hit lottery, a first hit effect mode table 4561 and a first lose time effect mode table 4562 are stored in advance, and based on these tables 4561, 4562, The production mode in the step production and the development production is determined.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In addition, the peripheral control board 4010 is provided with decorative symbol sequence fluctuation display means 4573 and big hit display means 4574. The decorative symbol sequence variation display means 4573 is based on the outputs of the first decorative symbol variation control means 4566 and the second decorative symbol variation control means 4572, or based on the control command received by the command receiving means 4560. While changing the symbol sequence, the common decorative symbol sequence is sequentially stopped based on the variation time and the success / failure command included in the control command (that is, the lottery result). In particular, a combination of decorative symbols (stopped symbols) that have already stopped on the active line at the stage before the last stopped symbol sequence that is stopped last among a plurality of common decorative symbol sequences is a specific decorative symbol When the above combination is satisfied, the reach state is established by using the already stopped decorative symbol as the reach formation symbol.

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

  First, detection of the rotation direction and rotation speed of the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 will be described. The rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b detect the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the dial operation unit 401 by detecting the rotation detection piece 410c of the driven gear 410 that rotates integrally with the dial operation unit 401. ing. In FIGS. 213 to 215, the rotation detection sensor 432a is described as “A” and the rotation detection sensor 432b is described as “B”. Steps 1 to 4 shown below are four types of rotation positions of the dial operation unit 401 with reference to the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, respectively. The rotational position sequentially shifts to step 2, step 3, and step 4, and after shifting to step 4, it returns to step 1 again.

  First, when the dial operation unit 401 rotates in the clockwise direction, as shown in FIG. 213, as shown in FIG. 213, both the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b detect the rotation detection piece 410c of the driven gear 410, and then the dial. The rotation detection sensor 432a detects the rotation detection piece 410c by the shift to step 2 accompanying the clockwise rotation of the operation unit 401, while the slit 410d of the driven gear 410 moves to the rotation detection sensor 432b and moves to the rotation detection sensor. The process proceeds to a step in which 432b does not detect the rotation detection piece 410c. Thereafter, when the dial operation unit 401 rotates clockwise, the slit 410d of the driven gear 410 moves to the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, and both the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b rotate. The process proceeds to a step where 410c is not detected. Then, due to the shift to step 4 accompanying the clockwise rotation of the dial operation unit 401, the slit 410d of the driven gear 410 moves to the rotation detection sensor 432a and the rotation detection sensor 432a does not detect the rotation detection piece 410c. The process proceeds to a step where the rotation detection sensor 432b detects the rotation detection piece 410c.

  On the other hand, when the dial operation unit 401 rotates counterclockwise, as shown in FIG. 214, as shown in FIG. 214, both the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b detect the rotation detection piece 410c of the driven gear 410, and then Due to the shift to step 2 accompanying the counterclockwise rotation of the dial operation unit 401, the slit 410d of the driven gear 410 moves to the rotation detection sensor 432a and the rotation detection sensor 432a does not detect the rotation detection piece 410c. The detection sensor 432b proceeds to a step of detecting the rotation detection piece 410c. Thereafter, when the dial operation unit 401 is rotated counterclockwise, the slit 410d of the driven gear 410 is moved to the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, and both the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b detect rotation. The process proceeds to a step where the piece 410c is not detected. Then, due to the shift to step 4 accompanying the counterclockwise rotation of the dial operation unit 401, the rotation detection sensor 432a detects the rotation detection piece 410c, while the slit 410d of the driven gear 410 moves to the rotation detection sensor 432b. Then, the process proceeds to a step where the rotation detection sensor 432b does not detect the rotation detection piece 410c.

  That is, when the dial operation unit 401 rotates clockwise, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are turned on (with detection of the rotation detection piece 410c) / OFF (without detection of the rotation detection piece 410c). As shown in FIG. 4, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are both “ON” in Step 1, and the rotation detection sensor 432a continues to be “ON” in Step 2, while the rotation detection sensor 432b is “OFF”. Thereafter, after both the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are “OFF” in Step 3, the rotation detection sensor 432a continues to be “OFF” in Step 4, while the rotation detection sensor 432b is “ON”. Thereafter, the process returns to step 1 again, and both the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are turned “ON”.

  On the other hand, when the dial operation unit 401 rotates counterclockwise, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are turned on / off in step 1, as shown in FIG. In step 2, the rotation detection sensor 432b continues to be “ON”, while the rotation detection sensor 432a is “OFF”. Thereafter, after both the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are “OFF” in Step 3, the rotation detection sensor 432b continues to be “OFF” in Step 4, while the rotation detection sensor 432a is “ON”. Thereafter, the process returns to Step 1 again, and both the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are turned “ON”.

  As described above, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b detect the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the dial operation unit 401 based on ON / OFF in each of the steps 1 to 4 described above. When the dial operation unit 401 constituting the unit 400 functions as an operation means, in other words, when the dial operation unit 401 is rotated by a player's operation, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are turned on / off. It is detected that the dial operation unit 401 has been rotated. At this time, the dial operation unit 401 rotates clockwise from the ON / OFF state of the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b before the rotation operation and the ON / OFF state of the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b during the rotation operation. It is detected whether it has been rotated or operated counterclockwise. In this example, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b detect the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the dial operation unit 401. However, by counting the pulses of the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, the dial operation unit 401 The rotational position can also be detected.

  For example, if Step 1, that is, the state where both the rotation detection sensors 432 a and 432 b are “ON” is the state before the rotation operation, the rotation detection sensor 432 a If it is “ON” while the rotation detection sensor 432b is “OFF”, it coincides with step 2 in the clockwise direction, so that the dial operation unit 401 is detected to be rotated in the clockwise direction. On the other hand, if the rotation detection sensor 432a is “OFF” while the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are in the ON / OFF state during the rotation operation, and the rotation detection sensor 432b is “ON”, it matches the step 2 in the counterclockwise direction. Therefore, it is detected that the dial operation unit 401 is rotated counterclockwise. The clockwise or counterclockwise operation signal of the dial operation unit 401 detected by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b is output to the peripheral control unit 4140. Then, the peripheral control unit 4140 (effect control means, operation effect control means, selection effect control means, display control means) receives the player's operation intention based on the input operation signal, and this is received by the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like. It is to be reflected in the production of.

  In addition, when the dial operation unit 401 functions as a movable effect unit that rotates based on the drive of the dial drive motor 414, the drive of the dial drive motor 414 is transmitted as the rotation operation of the driven gear 410 via the drive gear 412. The dial operation unit 401 provided integrally by the rotation operation of the driven gear 410 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. At this time, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b detect the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the dial operation unit 401 based on whether or not the rotation detection piece 410c of the driven gear 410 rotating together with the dial operation unit 401 is detected (ON / OFF). The detection signals from the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are output to the peripheral control unit 4140, and the peripheral control unit 4140 having received the detection signal detects the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the dial operation unit 401. Rotational motion is controlled.

  Next, the function as the operation means by the dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 and the function as the movable effecting means will be described with reference to a plurality of examples. First, as an example, as shown in FIG. 216, the liquid crystal display device 1900 (production means, symbol display) is based on the jackpot determination that accompanies winning at the start opening (first start opening 2101, second start opening 2102). As shown in FIG. 216 (A), the left and right decorative designs 4601 and 4603 are aligned with the same design, and the reach mode is displayed ( As an example, when the decorative symbols are aligned at “7”), as the middle decorative symbol 4602 continues to fluctuate, the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are displayed on the upper left and right sides of the display screen as shown in FIG. Each of the images moves to a reduced scale and develops from normal reach fluctuation to super reach fluctuation.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 216 (C), as a variation of the super reach, a middle decorative pattern 4602a (in FIG. 216, "6" The middle decorative symbol is illustrated side by side, and the middle decorative symbol 4602b (the middle decorative symbol “7” is illustrated in the same diagram) that determines the big hit with the same symbol as the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are displayed side by side. Below that, an image 4605 in which the dial operation unit 401 rotates counterclockwise and a character 4611 “Please turn the dial operation unit” are displayed, so that the operation unit 400 (dial operation unit 401). Is displayed to urge the player to perform a counterclockwise rotation operation.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 216 (D), an effect display is performed in which the middle decorative symbol 4602a that determines the loss pushes out the middle decorative symbol 4602b that determines the big hit. When the player rotates the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 in the counterclockwise direction, this is detected by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b of the operation unit 400 (the detection signal of the dial operation unit 401 in the counterclockwise direction). 216 is output to the peripheral control unit 4140), as shown in FIG. 216 (E), an effect display (operation effect) is performed in which the middle decorative symbol 4602b that determines the big hit pushes back the middle decorative symbol 4602a that determines the loss. Finally, as shown in FIG. 216 (F), among the medium decorative symbols 4602b for determining the big hit and the medium decorative symbols 4602a for determining the loss, the medium decorative symbols constituting the display result based on the big hit determination. Completely pushes out the other medium decorative design, and the display result of the decorative design is derived to the liquid crystal display 1900. In FIG. 216 (F), based on the determination result of the big hit, the middle decorative symbol 4602b of “7” completely extrudes the middle decorative symbol 4602a of “6”, and the big hit symbol (7 · 7 · 7) ( The case where the specific display result is derived is illustrated.

  As a second example, in the decorative design displayed in a variable manner on the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the jackpot determination associated with winning a prize at the start port (first start port 2101, second start port 2102), FIG. 217 (A) As shown in FIG. 217, the left and right decorative designs 4601 and 4603 are aligned with the same design and the reach mode is displayed. , 4603 move to the upper left and right sides of the display screen and are reduced and displayed to develop from the normal reach variation to the super reach variation, an image for selecting the super reach variation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. As shown in FIG. 217 (C), the selection image of the variation mode includes an option image 4621 of the variation mode A (in the figure, the letter “A” is illustrated) and an option image 4622 of the variation mode B In the lower part, the dial operation unit 401 rotates alternately in the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction, and the selection determining operation unit 400 is displayed below. By displaying an image 4606 in which the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed and a character 4612 of “Please select with the dial operation unit”, the change mode can be selected by rotating the operation unit 400 (dial operation unit 401). Is displayed to prompt the player.

  Then, when the player rotates the dial operation unit 401 clockwise to select the variation mode A (at this time, the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is pressed by the player for selection determination). As shown in FIG. 217 (D), the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b of the operation unit 400 detect this (output the detection signal in the clockwise direction of the dial operation unit 401 to the peripheral control unit 4140). While the option image 4621 of the variation mode A is displayed in a blinking manner, the option image 4622 of the variation mode B is displayed in the off state, and below that, an image 4605 in which the dial operation unit 401 rotates in the clockwise direction and “Decide !!” When the character 4613 is displayed, a display informing the player that the variation mode A has been selected by the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is displayed. Divide. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 217 (E), the effect image 4625 of the super reach variation is displayed in the variation mode A selected by the player (denoted as “A” for convenience in the drawing). (Operation production).

  That is, the function of the operation unit 400 as the operation means by the operation unit 400 is that the player rotates the dial operation unit 401 in accordance with the effect display of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the rotation operation is reflected in the effect contents. It is intended to suppress the decline of interest.

  By the way, when the operation unit 400 functions as a selection operation means that can be selected from the alternative as in the second example described above, the player performs the selection operation by the operation unit 400 on the pachinko machine 1 side (specifically, The control of the peripheral control unit 4140) can determine in advance whether or not to substitute automatically. The determination as to whether or not to perform the selection operation is performed on the display image for determining the operation substitution of the liquid crystal display device 1900 as shown in FIG. It should be noted that the display image for determining the operation substitution is the operation unit 400 in a state where the winning detection at the start port (the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102) has not been detected for a predetermined time or more, such as during the demonstration display of the liquid crystal display device 1900. When the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, it is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900.

  In the display image for operation substitution determination shown in FIG. 218 (A), there are an option image 4623 with characters “do not perform selection operation” and an option image 4624 with characters “execute selection operation”. Below the image 4606, the dial operation unit 401 is alternately rotated clockwise and counterclockwise and the pressing operation unit 405 for determining the selection is pressed. "Please do" is displayed, and a display prompting the player to decide whether or not to perform the selection operation by rotating the dial operation unit 401 is performed.

  Then, when the player rotates the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 in the counterclockwise direction in order to perform the selection operation (in this case, the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is pressed by the player for selection determination). 218a, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b of the operation unit 400 detect (output a detection signal in the counterclockwise direction of the dial operation unit 401 to the peripheral control unit 4140). As shown in FIG. 5, the option image 4624 of “substituting the selection operation” is displayed blinking, while the option image 4623 of “do not perform the selection operation” is turned off, and the dial operation unit 401 is shown below. By displaying an image 4607 rotating in the clockwise direction and a character 4613 of “OK!”, The dial operation unit 401 can be rotated. Display for notifying the player is made to the effect that decision to delegate the selection operation I have been made.

  Thereafter, it is determined that the selection operation is performed on the display image for determining the operation substitution, and when the selection effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 as shown in FIG. Selection is automatically delegated based on the control. Specifically, in the selection effect image shown in FIG. 218 (C), the option image 4625 of character A and the option image 4626 of character B are displayed side by side, below which the dial operation unit 401 is clockwise. By displaying an image 4606 that rotates alternately in the counterclockwise direction and the selection operation pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, and a character 4612 “Please select with the dial operation unit”, a dial operation unit is displayed. A display prompting the player to select a character is performed by the rotation operation 401. At this time, the character B, which is the option image 4626, is displayed as a stronger character than the character A, which is the option image 4625, and the game content that is more advantageous to the player if the character B (option image 4626) is selected. (For example, it is easy to win big hits, etc.).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 218 (D), when the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 is rotated in the default direction by the control of the peripheral control unit 4140 (the counterclockwise direction is the default in the figure). Direction) and the dial operation unit 401 is rotated counterclockwise), the character B option image 4626 is flashed, while the character A option image 4625 is turned off and below it. By displaying the image 4607 in which the dial operation unit 401 rotates counterclockwise and the character 4613 of “OK!”, The player is notified that the character B has been selected by the rotation of the dial operation unit 401. Is displayed.

  Note that in the configuration illustrated in FIG. 218D, the default direction is set to the counterclockwise direction, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the default direction may be set to the clockwise direction. In this case, when the operation unit 400 (dial operation unit 401) is rotated in the clockwise direction under the control of the peripheral control unit 4140, the option image 4625 of the character A blinks as shown in FIG. 218 (E). On the other hand, the option image 4626 of the character B is turned off, and an image 4605 in which the dial operation unit 401 rotates clockwise and a character 4613 of “OK!” Are displayed below the dial B. A display for notifying the player that the character A has been selected by the rotation of the operation unit 401 is performed.

  Further, the default direction is not limited to either the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction, and a direction corresponding to the type of option displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 may be set as the default direction. Specifically, a direction that can provide a game content advantageous to the player may be set as the default direction. For example, when the selection image 4625 of the character A is displayed on the left side and the selection image 4626 of the character B is displayed on the right side as in FIG. 218C, the selection effect image is the same as in FIG. 218D. In addition, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated counterclockwise to select the option image 4626. On the other hand, when the option image 4626 of the character B is displayed on the left side and the option image 4625 of the character A is displayed on the right side as the selection effect image, the option image 4626 is selected as shown in FIG. Accordingly, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated clockwise. On the other hand, a direction that may be a game content that is disadvantageous to the player may be set as the default direction.

  Here, the selection operation detection processing of the operation unit 400 by the peripheral control unit 4140 will be described with reference to FIG. This selection operation detection process is control performed at the time of selection effect of the liquid crystal display device 1900 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 219, first, it is determined whether or not an operation proxy flag is set (step S2001). The operation proxy flag is a flag that is set when an option image 4624 “substitute selection operation” is selected and determined in the display image for operation proxy determination in FIG. 218A. When the operation substitution flag is not set in step S2001, next, whether or not the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 has been rotated, in other words, whether the operation detection signal by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b has changed. It is determined whether or not (step S2002). When there is a change in the operation detection signal, a selection flag for the rotation direction based on the operation detection signal is set (step S2003), and the selection operation detection process is ended.

  That is, when the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 is rotated and a change occurs in the operation detection signal, the selection flag in the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) in which the dial operation unit 401 is rotated is set. The selection flag is a display indicating that the player has selected and decided one of the alternative choices in the selection effect of the liquid crystal display device 1900 (for example, the display shown in FIG. This is a flag for display control of the effect display (for example, the effect display in FIG. 217 (E)).

  On the other hand, when there is no rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 and there is no change in the operation detection signal in step S2002, it is determined whether or not a predetermined effective detection time of the dial operation unit 401 has elapsed (step S200). S2004). If the operation detection signal is not ON even though the detection valid time has elapsed, a default rotation direction selection flag that is a predetermined selection method is set (step S2005), and dialing is performed in the default direction. The operation unit 401 is rotated (step S2006: selection proxy operation control means), and the selection operation detection process is terminated. Here, the default rotation direction (default direction) is a rotation direction of the dial operation unit 401 set in advance by the peripheral control unit 4140 described above, which is advantageous to the clockwise direction, the counterclockwise direction, and the player. It is a direction that can be a game content, or a direction that can be a game content that is disadvantageous to the player.

  When the operation proxy flag is set in step S2001, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the default direction (step S2007: selection proxy operation control means). Thereafter, a change in the operation detection signal is detected by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, a selection flag for the rotation direction based on the operation detection signal is set (step S2008), and the selection operation detection process ends. At this time, as a process in step S2008, the player does not rotate the default direction selection flag rotated in step S2007 as it is, but immediately rotates the dial operation unit 401 in the anti-default direction immediately after the rotation in the default direction. Then, the selection flag in the anti-default direction is set. That is, when the proxy operation for the selection effect is determined, and when the dial operation unit 401 is not operated in spite of the fact that the proxy operation for the selection effect is not determined, Then, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the default direction. When the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the default direction, if there is no player operation, the default direction selection flag is set as it is. On the other hand, when the player operates the anti-default direction when the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the default direction, the driving of the dial drive motor 414 that rotates the dial operation unit 401 is stopped and the player The rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is prioritized, and the selection flag for the anti-default direction is set.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the player leaves room for rotating the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 in the anti-default direction. Specifically, the player operates the dial operation unit 401 in the operation direction (default If the player does not like the rotation direction), the player can intervene and correct it during the rotation, or stop the rotation when the dial operation unit 401 moves unexpectedly (unexpectedly for the player). The dial operation unit 401 can be rotated while leaving such a room. In other words, the processing when the process proceeds from step S2007 to step S2008 described above is performed when the operation detecting means detects a finger touch operation (manual operation) of the dial operation unit 401 by the player during the operation of the dial operation unit 401. In order to give priority to the player's finger touch operation on the dial operation unit 401, operation priority control means for stopping the driving of the electric drive source is configured.

  By the way, the selection operation detection process of the operation unit 400 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 219, and may be the configurations of Modifications 1 and 2 shown below. In the selection operation detection process of the first modification, as shown in FIG. 220, first, it is determined whether or not an operation proxy flag is set (step S2011). If the operation proxy flag is not set in step S2011, whether or not the operation detection signals from the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are changed due to the dial operation unit 401 being rotated as in the selection operation detection process of FIG. Is determined (step S2012). When there is a change in the operation detection signal, a rotation direction selection flag is set based on the operation detection signal (step S2013), and "1" is added to the operation detection counter that counts that the operation detection signal has changed. In step S2014, the selection operation detection process is terminated. That is, when the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 is rotated and the operation detection signal is changed, the selection flag in the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) in which the dial operation unit 401 is rotated is set. Furthermore, it is stored that the dial operation unit 401 has been rotated.

  On the other hand, when there is no rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 and there is no change in the operation detection signal in step S2012, it is determined whether or not a predetermined detection effective time of the dial operation unit 401 has passed (step S2015). If the operation detection signal does not change even though the detection effective time has elapsed, the value of the operation detection counter counted in step S2014 in the past 10 selection effects is “5” or more. Whether or not (step S2016: motion ratio determination means). When the value of the operation detection counter is “5” or more in step S2016, in other words, when the player has operated the dial operation unit 401 five times or more in the past ten selection effects, the dial operation unit is relatively frequently used. It is determined that the player is a player who rotates 401, and the process proceeds to step S2017 to extend the effective detection time of the dial operation unit 401.

  Note that the processing in step S2016 is performed based on the storage in the operation storage area provided in the peripheral control RAM 4140e of the peripheral control unit 4140, and the operation unit 400 in the last 10 selection effects in the operation storage area. The determination processing is performed by storing the presence / absence of the operation of the dial operation unit 401 in FIG. That is, every time a selection effect is performed, the oldest data among the past 10 stored data is erased, and the presence or absence of operation of the dial operation unit 401 by the player in the selection effect is stored as the newest data. It has become. For this reason, even when a player who plays a game on the pachinko machine 1 is switched, the player gradually adjusts to the player every time the selection effect is executed (whether the player frequently rotates the dial operation unit 401). The processing in step S2016 can be performed based on a judgment criterion (according to whether or not).

  In step S2017, it is determined again whether or not the dial operation unit 401 is rotated and the operation detection signals from the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b are changed. When there is a change in the operation detection signal in step S2017, a rotation direction selection flag based on the operation detection signal is set (step S2013), as in the transition from step S2012, and the operation detection signal is changed. “1” is added to the operation detection counter to be counted (step S2014), and the selection operation detection process ends. On the other hand, if there is no rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 and the operation detection signal does not change in step S2017, it is determined whether or not the detection valid time (extended effective time) of the extended dial operation unit 401 has elapsed (step S2017). Step S2018: Validity period extension means). When the operation detection signal does not change even though the extended effective time has elapsed, a default rotation direction selection flag that is a predetermined selection method is set (step S2019), and the dial operation is performed in the default direction. The unit 401 is rotated (step S2020: selection proxy operation control means), and the selection operation detection process is terminated.

  Also, when the operation proxy flag is set in step S2011 and when the value of the operation detection counter is less than “5” in step S2016, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the default direction (step S2021: selection proxy) Operation control means). Thereafter, a change in the operation detection signal is detected by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, a selection flag for the rotation direction based on the operation detection signal is set (step S2022), and the selection operation detection process ends. At this time, as a process in step S2022, the selection flag for the default direction rotated in step S2021 is not set as it is, but the player rotates the dial operation unit 401 in the anti-default direction immediately after the rotation in the default direction. Then, the selection flag in the anti-default direction is set.

  That is, the dial operation unit 401 is not rotated in the past 10 times when the selection operation proxy at the time of the selection effect has been determined, and the selection operation proxy at the time of the selection effect has not been determined. When the number of times that the player has rotated the dial operation unit 401 in the selection effect is less than 5, the dial operation unit 401 is temporarily rotated in the default direction. When the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the default direction, if there is no player operation, the default direction selection flag is set as it is. On the other hand, when the player operates the anti-default direction when the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the default direction, the driving of the dial drive motor 414 that rotates the dial operation unit 401 is stopped and the player The rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is prioritized, and the selection flag for the anti-default direction is set.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the player leaves room for rotating the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 in the anti-default direction. Specifically, the player operates the dial operation unit 401 in the operation direction (default If the player does not like the rotation direction), the player can intervene and correct it during the rotation, or stop the rotation when the dial operation unit 401 moves unexpectedly (unexpectedly for the player). The dial operation unit 401 can be rotated while leaving such a room. In other words, the processing at the time of shifting from step S2021 to step S2022 described above is performed when the player's finger touch operation on the dial operation unit 401 is detected by the operation detecting means during operation of the operation unit. In order to give priority to the finger touch operation 401, an operation priority control means for stopping the driving of the electric drive source is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 221, the selection operation detection process of the modification 2 first determines whether or not an operation proxy flag is set (step S2031). When the operation substitution flag is not set in step S2031, the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 is rotated and changed to operation detection signals by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, as in the selection operation detection process of FIG. It is determined whether or not there is (step S2032). When there is a change in the operation detection signal, a rotation direction selection flag based on the operation detection signal is set (step S2033), and “1” is added to the rotation direction counter based on the operation detection signal ( Step S2034), the selection operation detection process is terminated.

  That is, when the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 is rotated and the operation detection signal is changed, the selection flag in the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) in which the dial operation unit 401 is rotated is set. Furthermore, the rotation direction of the dial operation unit 401 that has been rotated is stored. There are two types of counters for counting the rotation direction, clockwise and counterclockwise. By differentiating the counter type for each rotation direction based on the operation detection signal, the counter counterclockwise and counterclockwise. The number of rotations in the clockwise direction is individually stored.

  On the other hand, when there is no rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 and there is no change in the operation detection signal in step S2032, it is determined whether or not a predetermined detection effective time of the dial operation unit 401 has passed (step S2035). When the operation detection signal does not change even though the detection effective time has passed, the rotation direction selection flag having a large count value is set in the past 10 selection operations, which is a predetermined selection method ( In step S2036), the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the direction in which the count value is large (step S2037: selection proxy operation control means), and the selection operation detection process is terminated.

  Here, the rotation direction having a large count value in the past ten selection operations is counted in the previous ten selection operations from the present time in each of the clockwise and counterclockwise counters counted in step S2034. It is the direction of rotation of the counter that takes a large value after comparing each count value. Then, by making such a comparison, it is determined in which direction the player is more likely to rotate the dial operation unit 401, and the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in that direction. That is, every time a selection effect is performed, the oldest data of the past 10 count data is deleted, and the rotation direction of the dial operation unit 401 by the player in the selection effect is stored as the newest count data. It has become. For this reason, even when the player who plays a game with the pachinko machine 1 is changed, the player gradually adjusts to the player every time the selection effect is executed (the player rotates the dial operation unit 401 in any direction). The process of step S2036 can be performed based on a judgment criterion (according to whether the tendency is high).

  When the operation proxy flag is set in step S2031, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the direction in which the count value is large as in step S2037 (step S2038: selection proxy operation control means). Thereafter, a change in the operation detection signal is detected by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, thereby setting a rotation direction selection flag based on the operation detection signal (step S2039), and then rotation based on the operation detection signal. “1” is added to the direction counter (step S2040), and the selection operation detection process is terminated. At this time, the processing of step S2039 does not set the selection flag in the direction of large count value rotated in step S2038 as it is, but the player dials in the opposite direction immediately after the rotation in the direction of large count value. When the unit 401 is rotated, a selection flag in the opposite direction is set.

  In other words, according to the configuration of the modification example 2, the dial operation unit 401 is used when the selection operation proxy at the time of the selection effect is determined and when the selection operation proxy at the selection effect is not determined. If no rotation operation has been performed, the dial operation unit 401 is compared and determined in which direction in the previous ten selection operations from the current time, and the dial is dialed in the rotation direction (default direction) with a large number of rotation operations. The operation unit 401 is rotated. When the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the default direction, if there is no player operation, the default direction selection flag is set as it is. On the other hand, when the player operates the anti-default direction when the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in the default direction, the driving of the dial drive motor 414 that rotates the dial operation unit 401 is stopped and the player The rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is prioritized, and the selection flag for the anti-default direction is set.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the player leaves room for rotating the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 in the anti-default direction. Specifically, the player operates the dial operation unit 401 in the operation direction (default If the player does not like the rotation direction), the player can intervene and correct it during the rotation, or stop the rotation when the dial operation unit 401 moves unexpectedly (unexpectedly for the player). The dial operation unit 401 can be rotated while leaving such a room. In other words, the processing at the time of shifting from step S2038 to step S2039 described above is performed when the operation detecting means detects a finger touch operation of the dial operation unit 401 by the player during operation of the operation unit. In order to give priority to the finger touch operation 401, an operation priority control means for stopping the driving of the electric drive source is configured.

  Next, three examples in which the operation unit 400 functions as a movable effect unit will be described. As an example, FIG. 222 (A) shows a decorative pattern variably displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the jackpot determination associated with winning at the start opening (first start opening 2101, second start opening 2102). As shown in the figure, the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are aligned with the same symbol, and the reach mode is displayed (in the figure, the case where the left and right decorative symbols are aligned with “7” is illustrated), and the middle decorative symbol 4602 is displayed. Is displayed in the normal reach variation mode. At this time, each operation unit 400 is in a stopped state. That is, the full-color LED 432d for decorating the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 and the full-color LED 430b for decorating the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 are respectively in the off state, and the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 is turned off. The dial drive motor 414 that rotates is in a drive stopped state.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 222 (B), the middle decorative symbol 4602 for determining the loss is temporarily stopped (in the figure, the case where the middle decorative symbol 4602 of “6” is temporarily stopped is displayed). The Also at this time, the operation units 400 are in a stopped state. Then, as shown in FIG. 222 (C), the operation unit 400 is effect-driven in a state where the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops and displays the lost symbol. Specifically, when the full color LEDs 432d and 430b are turned on / flashed, the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 and the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 emit light, and at the same time, the operation is performed by rotating the dial drive motor 414. The dial operation unit 401 of the unit 400 rotates.

  After that, in the state where the effect driving of the operation unit 400 is continued, the liquid crystal display device 1900 displays the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 as shown in FIG. 222 (D). Are moved and reduced, and the variation of the medium decoration symbol 4602 is resumed to develop the super reach variation. That is, the operation unit 400 performs an effect that is an opportunity to develop from the normal reach variation of the decorative design to the super reach variation in the liquid crystal display device 1900 by the effect drive.

  As a second example, in the decorative design displayed in a variable manner on the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the jackpot determination associated with winning a prize at the starting port (first starting port 2101, second starting port 2102), FIG. As shown in the figure, the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are aligned with the same symbol, and the reach mode is displayed. After the middle decorative symbol 4602 performs reach fluctuation, the lost symbol is temporarily stopped (in FIG. For example, the loss symbol “7, 6. 7” is temporarily stopped. At this time, each operation unit 400 is in a stopped state. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 223 (B), the operation unit 400 is driven to produce the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 while the lost symbol is stopped. Specifically, when the full color LEDs 432d and 430b are turned on / flashed, the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 and the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 emit light, and at the same time, the operation is performed by rotating the dial drive motor 414. The dial operation unit 401 of the unit 400 rotates.

  Then, in the state where the effect driving of the operation unit 400 as described above is continued, the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is in the process of determining the big hit from the medium decorative design 4602 that determines the loss, as shown in FIG. 223 (C). The display is switched to the decorative symbol 4602, and the jackpot symbol is derived to the liquid crystal display device 1900 as a final display result (the case where the jackpot symbol of “7, 7, 7” is derived is illustrated). That is, the operation unit 400 performs an effect that triggers switching from a lost symbol of the decorative symbol to a jackpot symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1900 by the effect driving.

  As a third example, in the decorative design variably displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the jackpot determination accompanying the winning at the starting port (first starting port 2101, second starting port 2102), FIG. As shown in the figure, the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are aligned with the same symbol, and the reach mode is displayed. After the middle decorative symbol 4602 undergoes reach fluctuation, the non-probable large hit symbol is temporarily stopped (in the same figure). Is an example in which the non-probable big hit symbol of “6, 6, 6” is temporarily stopped). At this time, each operation unit 400 is in a stopped state. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 224 (B), the operation unit 400 is driven to produce the display on the liquid crystal display device 1900 while the non-probable large hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Specifically, when the full color LEDs 432d and 430b are turned on / flashed, the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 and the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 emit light, and at the same time, the operation is performed by rotating the dial drive motor 414. The dial operation unit 401 of the unit 400 rotates.

  Then, in the state where the operation drive of the operation unit 400 as described above is continued, the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is switched from the non-probable big hit symbol to the probable big hit symbol as shown in FIG. As a display result, a probabilistic big hit symbol (special display result) is derived to the liquid crystal display device 1900 (in the same shell, a case where a probable big hit symbol of “7, 7, 7” is derived is illustrated). In other words, the operation unit 400 performs an effect that triggers switching from a non-probable large hit symbol to a probable large hit symbol in the liquid crystal display device 1900 by the effect driving.

  In addition, as described in the actual example, when the selection operation is performed on behalf of the player, it is sufficient to rotate the operation unit to the minimum necessary to be detected by the operation detection means. It is desirable for the part to continue to rotate so that the player can recognize that it is clearly rotating.

  Further, the electric drive source for operating the dial operation unit 401 is not limited to the dial drive motor 414 formed of the stepping motor described in the embodiment, but an electric drive source for rotationally driving the dial operation unit 401 In this case, it is desirable to use a stepping motor as an electrical drive source for the following reason.

  For example, it is expected that the dial operation unit 401 is frequently stopped by the touch of the player in the rotational drive state. However, if the dial drive motor 414 is a stepping motor, it is rotated with weak excitation. If you do this, you can easily step out, and you can ensure safety. In addition, if the excitation for rotation is continued even after the dial operation unit 401 is stopped, the touch is transmitted to the player's finger, and a fresh surprise is obtained for the player. Further, conversely, if the stepping motor is applied with weak excitation enough to maintain the dial operation unit 401 in a stopped state, a click feeling can be generated when the dial operation unit 401 is rotated, and the operability is improved. .

  Further, if a motor having a large detent torque (non-excitation holding torque) is selected, even excitation is not required. Further, for example, when a DC motor is used as an electrical drive source, a large current flows because the armature voltage (counterelectromotive force) disappears when the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped in the rotational drive state. It is not preferable in terms of heat generation and durability. In contrast, stepping motors do not have such concerns. For the above reasons, it is desirable that the electric drive source is a stepping motor.

  By the way, in the function as the movable effect means of the operation unit 400 described above, the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is the development of reach fluctuation, the switching from the loss symbol to the big hit symbol, and from the non-probable big hit symbol to the probable big hit symbol. As a result, it is designed to function as a notice effect. Therefore, as a notice effect of such an operation unit 400, at the time of the development of reach fluctuation, the player may be made to recognize the jackpot reliability of the reach fluctuation that develops according to the rotation operation mode of the dial operation unit 401. The configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 225 and 226.

  First, as shown in FIG. 225 (A), after the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are aligned with the same symbol and the reach mode is displayed (in the same diagram, the right and left decorative symbols are aligned with "7") ), And the medium decorative design 4602 is displayed in the normal reach variation mode to determine the losing (in the same figure, the case where the “6” medium decorative design 4602 is temporarily stopped and displayed) Is temporarily stopped. After that, as shown in FIG. 225 (B), the operation unit 400 is driven while the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops the display of the lost symbol. Specifically, the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 emit light when the full-color LEDs 432d and 430b are turned on and blinking. Rotate. At the same time as the effect driving of the operation unit 400 is started, a character 4614 “Please stop the rotation of the dial operation unit” is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the player performs the dial operation. The rotation of the unit 401 is prompted to stop.

  Then, when the reach fluctuation that develops is low in the reliability of the big hit, in other words, when developing from the normal reach fluctuation to the long reach fluctuation (first production mode), as shown in FIG. When the player grasps the operation unit 401 with the hand H and the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b of the operation unit 400 detect this, and the effect of the operation unit 400 is produced. The drive is stopped (first mode operation control means). Specifically, by stopping the lighting / flashing drive of each full-color LED 432d, 430b, the light emission of the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 is stopped, and at the same time, the rotational drive of the dial drive motor 414 is stopped. The rotation of the dial operation unit 401 is stopped. As a result, the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is not affected by the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 moving to the left and right upper ends of the display screen, and the variation of the middle decorative symbol 4602 is resumed. It develops into long reach fluctuation.

  On the other hand, when the reach variation that develops is high in the reliability of the jackpot, in other words, when developing from the normal reach variation to the super reach variation (second production mode), as shown in FIG. When the player holds the operation unit 401 with the hand H, the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped. However, in this case, even if this is detected by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b of the operation unit 400, the effect drive of the operation unit 400 is continued (second mode operation control means). Thereby, the light emission of the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 is continuously performed. In addition, the player is forced to press and hold the dial operation unit 401 during the rotation operation with the hand H, so that the player receives vibration from the dial drive motor 414 that drives the dial operation unit 401. Note that such vibration of the dial drive motor 414 can be realized only by a player who touches the dial operation unit 401.

  Accordingly, the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed on the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 to the left and right upper ends of the display screen, respectively. Developed into highly reliable super reach fluctuations. That is, the operation unit 400 notifies the development from the normal reach fluctuation of the decorative pattern in the liquid crystal display device 1900 by the effect driving (rotation operation) and performs the rotation operation while the player holds the dial operation unit 401. Whether or not the reliability of the jackpot of the reach fluctuation that develops depending on whether or not to continue is high is predicted. Further, the advance notice from the normal reach variation of the decorative symbol is not known unless the player touches the dial operation unit 401. Therefore, the player can select whether or not to receive a notice depending on whether or not the dial operation unit 401 is touched, and as a result, the range of ways to enjoy the game is widened.

  Here, the rotation advance notice control processing of the operation unit 400 by the peripheral control unit 4140 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 226, the peripheral control unit 4140 first determines whether or not a rotation advance notice command has been received from the main control board 4100 side (step S2051). The rotation advance command is transmitted from the main control board 4100 side to the peripheral control unit 4140 side when executing the advance notice effect of rotating the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 in accordance with the reach variation of the decoration symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1900. A command signal to be sent. When the rotation advance notice command is not received in step S2051, the rotation advance notice control process is finished as it is. On the other hand, when the rotation advance command is received in step S2051, the peripheral control unit 4140 controls the dial drive motor 414 to rotate the dial operation unit 401 (step S2052). At this time, as a notice of rotation of the dial operation unit 401, the full color LED 430b is lit and blinked to illuminate the dial operation unit 401.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the dial operation unit 401 continues the rotation operation, in other words, whether or not the operation detection signal by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b is changed (step S2053). In step S2053, when the player continues to rotate the dial operation unit 401 without grasping the dial operation unit 401, that is, when the operation detection signal is changed, the dial is performed as a notice effect due to reach variation. It is determined whether or not a rotation control time (for example, 10 seconds) of the operation unit 401 has elapsed (step S2054). If the player does not stop the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 even after the rotation control time of the dial operation unit 401 has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S2057 as it is and the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 and the lighting decoration are performed. Stop the rotation advance notice control process.

  On the other hand, when the player grasps the dial operation unit 401 in step S2053 and the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is stopped, that is, when the operation detection signal is not changed, the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 is performed next. It is determined whether or not the reach variation accompanied by the advance notice is a super reach variation with high hit reliability (step S2055). In step S2055, it is determined whether the variation pattern command sent from the main control board 4100 side to the peripheral control unit 4140 side is a super-reach variation command with high jackpot reliability accompanied by a notice of rotation of the dial operation unit 401. (It is a command of long reach fluctuation with low jackpot reliability accompanied by a notice of rotation of the dial operation unit 401). When the change pattern command is not a super reach change command but a long reach change command with a low big hit reliability in step S2055, the process directly proceeds to step S2057 to stop the rotation operation and the light emitting decoration of the dial operation unit 401. The rotation notice control process is terminated.

  That is, when a rotation advance notice of the operation unit 400 is performed as a notice effect accompanying a long reach fluctuation with low jackpot reliability, when the player grasps the dial operation unit 401 and stops the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401, When the player stops the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 without waiting for the rotation control time of the operation unit 401 (for example, 10 seconds), the driving of the dial drive motor 414 and the full color LED 430b is stopped and the dial operation is performed. The rotation notice by the unit 401 is terminated.

  If the change pattern command is a super-reach change command with high hit reliability in step S2055, it is determined whether or not the rotation control time (for example, 10 seconds) of the dial operation unit 401 has elapsed (step S2056). . Then, when the rotation control time of the dial operation unit 401 elapses, the process proceeds to step S157 to stop the rotation operation and the light emitting decoration of the dial operation unit 401, and the rotation notice control process is ended. That is, when the dial operation unit 401 is notified of rotation as a notice effect accompanying the super reach variation with high hit reliability, even if the player holds the dial operation unit 401 and stops the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 At that time, the dial operation unit 401 continues to be rotated and when the rotation control time (for example, 10 seconds) of the dial operation unit 401 elapses, the driving of the dial drive motor 414 and the full color LED 430b is stopped and the dial operation unit 401 is stopped. The rotation notice by 401 is ended.

  In the above-described rotation advance notice of the dial operation unit 401, the player is made to recognize the jackpot reliability of the developed reach fluctuation in a mode after the player stops the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401. However, such a configuration may be made to allow the player to recognize whether there is a change from a loss symbol to a big hit symbol, or from a non-probable big hit symbol to a probable big hit symbol, This will be described with reference to FIGS. 227 and 228.

  First, as shown in FIG. 227 (A), the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are aligned with the same symbol, and the reach mode is displayed, as shown in FIG. 227 (A), to make the player recognize the presence / absence of switching from the lose symbol to the jackpot symbol. After that (in the same figure, the case where the left and right decorative symbols are aligned at “7” is illustrated), the middle decorative symbol 4602 is displayed in the normal reach variation mode, and the middle decorative symbol 4602 (in FIG. In the example, “6” medium decoration symbol 4602 is temporarily stopped and displayed).

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 227 (B), the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is effect-driven with the operation unit 400 in a state where the lost symbol is stopped and displayed. Specifically, when the full color LEDs 432d and 430b are turned on / flashed, the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 and the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 emit light, and at the same time, the operation is performed by rotating the dial drive motor 414. The dial operation unit 401 of the unit 400 rotates. At the same time as the effect driving of the operation unit 400 is started, a character 4614 “Please stop the rotation of the dial operation unit” is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the player performs the dial operation. The rotation of the unit 401 is prompted to stop.

  When there is no switching from the lost symbol to the big hit symbol (first effect mode), as shown in FIG. 227 (C), the player grasps the dial operation unit 401 during the rotation operation with the hand H, When the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped, this is detected by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b of the operation unit 400, and the effect drive of the operation unit 400 is stopped (first mode operation control means). . Specifically, by stopping the lighting / flashing drive of each full-color LED 432d, 430b, the light emission of the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 is stopped, and at the same time, the rotational drive of the dial drive motor 414 is stopped. The rotation of the dial operation unit 401 is stopped. Also, in this case, the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 does not change the stop results of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols 4601, 4602, and 4603, and the lost symbols are derived as the final display results (see FIG. (In the example, the lost symbol “7, 6, 7” is derived as the final display result).

  On the other hand, when the game is switched from the lose symbol to the big hit symbol (second effect mode), as shown in FIG. 227 (D), when the player holds the dial operation unit 401 during the rotation operation with the hand H. The rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped. However, in this case, even if this is detected by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b of the operation unit 400, the effect drive of the operation unit 400 is continued (second mode operation control means). Thereby, the light emission of the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 is continuously performed. In addition, the player is forced to press and hold the dial operation unit 401 during the rotation operation with the hand H, so that the player receives vibration from the dial drive motor 414 that drives the dial operation unit 401. Note that such vibration of the dial drive motor 414 can be realized only by a player who touches the dial operation unit 401. Accordingly, in the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900, the stop result of the medium decoration symbol 4602 is switched, and the jackpot symbol is derived as the final display result (in the figure, “7, 7, 7 ”Is a case where the jackpot symbol of“ is derived as the final display result). Further, the notice of switching to the jackpot symbol is not known unless the player touches the dial operation unit 401. Therefore, the player can select whether or not to receive a notice depending on whether or not the dial operation unit 401 is touched, and as a result, the range of ways to enjoy the game is widened.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 228 (A), the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are aligned and reach as shown in FIG. 228 (A). After the mode is displayed and the medium decorative symbol 4602 performs reach fluctuation, the non-probable variable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed once. Exemplified case) At this time, each operation unit 400 is in a stopped state. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 228 (B), the operation unit 400 is driven to produce the display on the liquid crystal display device 1900 while the non-probable large hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Specifically, the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 of the operation unit 400 emit light when the full-color LEDs 432d and 430b are turned on and blinking. Rotate. At the same time as the effect driving of the operation unit 400 is started, a character 4614 “Please stop the rotation of the dial operation unit” is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the player performs the dial operation. The rotation of the unit 401 is prompted to stop.

  Then, when there is no switching from the non-probable big hit symbol to the probable big hit symbol (first effect mode), as shown in FIG. When the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped, the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b of the operation unit 400 detect this and stop the effect drive of the operation unit 400 (first mode operation). Control means). Specifically, by stopping the lighting / flashing drive of each full-color LED 432d, 430b, the light emission of the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 is stopped, and at the same time, the rotational drive of the dial drive motor 414 is stopped. The rotation of the dial operation unit 401 is stopped. Further, in this case, the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 does not change the stop results of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols 4601, 4602, and 4603, and the non-probable big hit symbol is derived as the final display result ( In the figure, an example is shown in which a non-probable big hit symbol of “6, 6, 6” is derived as a final display result).

  On the other hand, when there is a switching from the non-probable big hit symbol to the probable big hit symbol (second effect mode), as shown in FIG. , The rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped. However, in this case, even if this is detected by the rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b of the operation unit 400, the effect drive of the operation unit 400 is continued (second mode operation control means). Thereby, the light emission of the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 is continuously performed. In addition, the player is forced to press and hold the dial operation unit 401 during the rotation operation with the hand H, so that the player receives vibration from the dial drive motor 414 that drives the dial operation unit 401.

  Note that such vibration of the dial drive motor 414 can be realized only by a player who touches the dial operation unit 401. Accordingly, the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is switched between the stop results of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols 4601, 4602, and 4603, and the probability variation big hit symbol is derived as the final display result (same diagram). (In the example, the probability variation jackpot symbol of “7, 7, 7” is derived as the final display result). Further, the advance notice of switching to the probable big hit symbol is not known unless the player touches the dial operation unit 401. Therefore, the player can select whether or not to receive a notice depending on whether or not the dial operation unit 401 is touched, and as a result, the range of ways to enjoy the game is widened.

  In addition, when the operation unit 400 functions as an alternative operation means at the time of the selection effect, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated according to the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 so that the dial operation unit 401 at the time of the selection effect is operated. The operation method may be explained in an easy-to-understand manner to the player, and the configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 229 (A), an image for selecting a super reach variation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 as a display on the liquid crystal display device 1900 at the time of the selection effect. Specifically, the option image 4621 of the variation mode A (the letter “A” is illustrated in the figure) and the option image 4622 of the variation mode B (the letter “B” is illustrated in the figure) Are displayed side by side, and below that, an image 4606 in which the dial operation unit 401 alternately rotates clockwise and counterclockwise and the pressing operation unit 405 for selection determination is pressed, and a “dial operation unit” “Please select with” 4611 is displayed, so that the player is prompted to select a variation mode by rotating the dial operation unit 401.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 229 (B), below the respective selection images 4621 and 4622 of the variation modes A and B, the dial operation unit 401 rotates in the clockwise direction and the pressing operation of the selection determining operation unit 400 is performed. An image 4608 pressed by the portion 405 and a character 4615 “when“ A ”is selected” are displayed. When the variation mode A is selected, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated clockwise. The player is informed that the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed. At this time, the dial operation unit 401 is actually rotated clockwise by the drive of the dial drive motor 414, similarly to the image 4608 of the dial operation unit 401 rotating in the clockwise direction. The dial operation unit 401 is light-decorated by the lighting / flashing driving of the full color LED 430b (operation demonstration control means).

  Thereafter, below each of the selection images 4621 and 4622 of the variation modes A and B, as shown in FIG. 229 (C), the dial operation unit 401 rotates counterclockwise and the selection determining operation unit 400 is displayed. The image 4609 of the pressing operation unit 405 being pressed and the character 4616 “when“ B ”is selected” are displayed, so that when the variation mode B is selected, the dial operation unit 401 is turned counterclockwise. The player is instructed to rotate and press the pressing operation unit 405. At this time, the dial operation unit 401 is actually rotated counterclockwise by the drive of the dial drive motor 414 in the same manner as the image 4608 of the dial operation unit 401 rotating counterclockwise. In order to make the player recognize the rotation operation of the motor 414, the dial operation unit 401 is light-decorated by the lighting / flashing driving of the full color LED 430b (operation performance control means).

  That is, according to the above-described configuration, when a selection effect is executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900, the selection method of the options is explained to the player by the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the dial operation unit serving as the selection method The rotation operation of 401 is actually explained to the player by visually rotating the dial operation unit 401 so that it can be easily understood visually.

  Further, the configuration of the operation unit 400 that functions as the operation explanation unit as described above is not limited to the selection effect, and for example, the operation unit 400 may function as the operation explanation at the reach effect of FIG. 216 described above. The structure will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 230 (A) as in FIG. 216 (B), the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are aligned with the same symbol, and a reach mode is displayed (in the same figure, the left and right decorative symbols are “ 7 ”), and as the middle decorative symbol 4602 continues to change, the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 move to the left and right upper ends of the display screen, respectively, and are reduced and displayed. Develop into fluctuations. At this time, the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 is stopped by stopping the driving of the dial drive motor 414, and the dial operation unit 401 is turned off by stopping the driving of the full color LED 430b.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 230 (B), as a variation of the super reach, a middle decorative pattern 4602a (in FIG. The middle decorative symbol is illustrated side by side, and the middle decorative symbol 4602b (the middle decorative symbol “7” is illustrated in the same diagram) that determines the big hit with the same symbol as the left and right decorative symbols 4601 and 4603 are displayed side by side. Below that, an image 4605 in which the dial operation unit 401 rotates clockwise and a character 4611 “Turn the dial operation unit” 4611 are displayed, so that the operation unit 400 (dial operation unit 401) is displayed. A display prompting the player to perform a clockwise rotation operation is performed. At this time, the dial operation unit 401 is actually rotated in the clockwise direction by driving the dial drive motor 414 in the same manner as the image 4608 of the dial operation unit 401 rotating in the clockwise direction. In order to make the player recognize the operation, the dial operation unit 401 is illuminated and decorated by lighting and blinking driving of the full color LED 430b (operation demonstration control means).

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 230 (C), when an effect display is started in which the middle decorative symbol 4602a that determines the loss pushes out the middle decorative symbol 4602b that determines the big hit, the dial operation unit 401 rotates accordingly. Operation and luminescent decorations are stopped. As described above, in the configuration shown in FIG. 230, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated in accordance with the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900, so that the player can easily understand the operation method of the dial operation unit 401 during the reach effect.

  Further, when the selection effect is executed, by rotating the dial operation unit 401, the player is taught to manually operate the dial operation unit 401 to select one of a plurality of options. Therefore, the movement of the dial operation unit 401 for manual operation according to the selection effect can be actually demonstrated and shown to the player, and it is easy to understand and gives an impact to the player. The player can be taught the operation.

  Further, when the player selects substitution of manual operation of the dial operation unit 401 during execution of the selection effect, the dial operation unit 401 is automatically rotated by the driving of the dial drive motor 414 so that the selection operation is automatically performed. In addition, when the player operates the dial operation unit 401 while the dial operation unit 401 is rotating, the driving of the dial drive motor 414 is stopped and the player's operation is given priority. A player who feels that manual operation of the dial operation unit 401 is sometimes troublesome work can be provided with comfortable game contents without forcing such operation. Yes.

  Furthermore, since it is possible to determine whether or not to perform the selection operation by pressing the pressing operation unit 405 at the time of the selection effect, the player is willing to operate the dial operation unit 401. The game can be advanced in a state where it is clear whether or not there is, and as a result, a player who is looking forward to manual operation of the dial operation unit 401, and a player who is not looking forward to manual operation of the dial operation unit 401, Comfortable game content can be provided to all players.

  In addition, when the selection effect is executed, if the player does not operate the dial operation unit 401 within a predetermined time, the selection effect is performed by a predetermined selection method. Can be advanced. Further, when it is determined at the time of execution of the selection effect that the ratio of the rotation operation of the dial operation unit 401 by the player so far is high, the reception time of the operation of the dial operation unit 401 by the player is extended. Therefore, by extending the effective detection time for a player who is looking forward to the operation of the dial operation unit 401, it is possible to make the game content according to user needs.

  In addition, when the player makes a selection agent during the selection effect, the dial operation unit 401 performs the selection agent by a predetermined selection method. The selection proxy can be executed in an equal manner. In addition, since the operation of the dial operation unit 401 operated by the player is stored at the time of the selection effect, when the selection agent is executed, the selection agent is reflected by reflecting the selection tendency of the player. Can be executed.
