  The gaming machines disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have a problem in that it is difficult to recycle and reuse speakers because the degree of freedom in design is low because it is necessary to devise a space for storing the speakers.

  In addition, because there are various types of sound source data for sound production, such as music, sound effects, lines, etc., some sound sources contain sound signals that are not suitable for woofers for heavy bass, The speaker for the region includes an unsuitable audio signal. In addition, sufficient amplifier output is necessary to execute an effective performance with heavy bass, but there is also a problem that sound is cracked if the amplifier output is too large for the mid-high range.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can execute an effective sound effect from a low sound range to a high sound range without reducing the degree of freedom of design.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, an audio signal processing board provided separately from the effect control board is used to branch and output the audio signal output from the effect control board to each speaker via the branch path. Since the second filter means provided in the above configuration adopts a configuration that cuts unnecessary sound ranges for each speaker, speakers having various sound range characteristics can be freely adopted without changing the design of the production control board. be able to. Here, as the second filter means, for each branch path, a high-pass filter is used for the branch path to the mid-high range speaker, a low-pass filter is used for the branch path to the low-range speaker, and so on. What is necessary is just to employ | adopt the filter means which has the optimal sound range cut function. Further, the second filter unit is not limited to a filter unit as hardware, and may be a filter unit as software.

(4) In the audio signal processing board, the attenuation means is provided so as to be positioned upstream of the second filter means.

  By inputting the audio signal attenuated by the attenuation means to the second filter means, it is possible to prevent the second filter means from being damaged.

These gaming machines of the present invention can further have the following configuration.
(5A) Three or more speakers having different sound range characteristics are provided as the plurality of speakers so as to be relatively high, medium, and low.
(5B) The audio signal processing board is provided with the output unit and the second filter means so as to be separate for each of the three or more speakers, and among the three or more speakers. The second filter means provided in the branch path for one speaker is inputted via a branch path branched from the upstream side of the second filter means for two or more speakers having different sound range characteristics. The audio signal is input via the mixer means for integrating the audio signal.

  By adopting such a configuration, it is equipped with separate mid-high range speakers so that they are relatively high, medium, and low, instead of being used as one for mid-high ranges, and the mid-high range is rich and rich. It becomes possible to make a production. In this way, when the mid-high range is enriched, for example, when a sound production is performed with a woofer to add power to the low range, it will be compatible with each of the mid-high range speakers with different range characteristics. The sound signal before passing through the second filter means is input to the mixer means and then integrated into the second filter means for the woofer, thereby covering a wide range of the woofer heavy bass. Thus, it is possible to prevent the bass range from becoming rough. As a result, depending on the type of sound source data, the sound production that makes use of one of the high, middle, and low frequencies and the sound production that makes the best use of the entire high and low range can be accurately executed. Can do. In addition, it can also comprise so that a tweeter may be provided instead of a woofer, or it may comprise so that a woofer and a tweeter may be provided together.

A high-pass filter HPF is installed in the first audio signal transmission line LINE1 that connects between the audio signal input terminal SWNDin and the first audio signal output terminal SWNDout11.

  An audio signal is transmitted between the audio signal input terminal SWNDin and the second audio signal output terminal SWNDout12 via a branch line LINE2 branched from the upstream side of the HPF installation position of the first audio signal transmission line LINE1. It is supposed to let you. The branch line LINE2 is provided with an attenuator ATTN, a low-pass filter LPF, and a second amplifier AMP2 in this order from the upstream side. The amplifier power for the second amplifier AMP2 is supplied from the sound control board 430.

Output from the output terminal SWNDout11. As a result, the full-range speakers SPfr, SPfr output audio based on the mid-high sound signal SWND11 from which the heavy bass component is cut.

  On the other hand, while the original sound signal SWND10 passes through the branch line LINE2, first, the sound pressure is reduced by the attenuator ATTN, and the low-pass filter LPF cuts the middle and high frequency range components so that only the heavy bass component is left behind. Then, after being processed into a deep bass signal SWND12 amplified to a predetermined sound pressure by the second amplifier AMP2, it is output from the second audio signal output terminal SWNDout12. As a result, the woofer SPwf outputs a sound based on the heavy bass signal SWND12 having a predetermined sound pressure.

[5 Main control board storage (special symbol drawing)]
As shown in FIG. 5A, the main control board 310 has information corresponding to the special figure 1 determination random number acquired when the detection signal from the special figure switch SW1 is inputted (random number itself, random value). The information corresponding to the random number for special figure 2 determination (random number value itself, corresponding to the random number value), which is obtained when triggered by the detection signal input of the switch SW2 for special figure 2 In order to store a maximum of four flag information and code information), a special storage area 311 and a special figure 2 are stored in a predetermined storage area in the storage area 310i of the main control RAM. A hold storage unit 312 is provided. The special figure 1 hold storage unit 311 and the special figure 2 hold storage unit 312 store start hold information according to the random number acquisition order.

  The special figure 1 determination random number and the special figure 2 determination random number are “big hit determination random number (random number 1)”, “special map distribution determination random number (random number 2)”, and “production execution determination random number (random number)”, respectively. 3) ”, and“ variation pattern distribution determination random number (random number 4) ”. The jackpot determining random number (random number 1) is a random number for determining whether the jackpot or not. The special figure allocation determination random number (random number 2) is a random number for distributing the jackpot type such as the number of rounds of the special game. The effect execution determination random number (random number 3) is a random number for determining whether or not to perform reach effect. The reach effect is configured to be executed at a predetermined rate not only in the case of “winning” but also in “out of”. The variation pattern distribution determination random number (random number 4) is a random number for distributing the variation pattern.

  The “big hit determination value” to be compared with the random number 1 is stored in the ROM of the main control board 310. In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is set to have different probabilities in the non-probable (low probability) state and the probable (high probability) state. This jackpot probability is common to Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2.

  If the random number 1 results in a “big hit”, the number of big winning opening open rounds during the special game will be “2 rounds (2R)”, “7 rounds (7R)”, “15 rounds”. 15R) "and the like.

  In addition, in the distribution by random number 2, even if the number of rounds of “big win” is 15 times, (1) “long-time opening operation” that opens the big prize opening 15 for 30 seconds is set to 15 times as one round. Mode of special game to be executed, (2) Up to halfway round (for example, 7 rounds) is composed of “long open operation” rounds, and the remaining rounds are used for a short time (for example, several seconds or 1 second) (3) A configuration in which all of the 15 rounds are distributed to any one of the above-mentioned special game modes configured by the “short-time release operation”. It can also be.

  Or, if you select “ST type” that gives a certain number of certainty changes, or assigns certain changes to all winning symbols, and you win the fall condition, it switches from “high probability” to “low probability (normal probability)” It can also be a “falling lottery type”. In this type of special game, the number of times of support for the ordinary electric actor in the “short-time game” after the special game is ended is set to 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 times. It is also possible to adopt a configuration that performs “hit type determination” for distribution to any of the above.

  The jackpot type (including the number of time reductions) that can be distributed by such a random number 2 can be set differently between Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2, and further, it determines which kind of jackpot is distributed to The “classification probability” can be made different between the special map 1 and the special map 2.

  In this example, for random number 1, the probability of “big hit” in special figure 2 is greater than the case of “big hit” in special figure 1; The distribution probability is set with respect to the random number 2 so that the release mode is more advantageous. Note that the random number 2 is substantially meaningless when the random number 1 is “out of”.

  The random number 3 is used to determine the presence / absence of “out of reach” in the special figure starting process described later when the random number 1 is “out of”. When the random number 1 is “winning”, the reach effect is to be executed, so the random number 3 is substantially meaningless.

  The “variation pattern” distributed by the random number 4 determines the “length of variation time”. In the present embodiment, as a variation pattern table for determining this variation pattern, as shown in FIG. 5B, a variation pattern table 313a for a normal gaming state and a short time state (including a probability variation state) are used. The variation pattern table 313b is stored in advance in a predetermined storage area in the variation pattern storage unit 310g of the main ROM. In FIG. 5A, random numbers 1 to 4 are described as being stored, but flag information and code information indicating the result of special symbol lottery determined by random numbers 1 to 4 are stored. It does not matter if it is

[6 Storage section of production control board (production data)]
On the effect control board 320, effect data for a sound effect, a display effect, a light emission effect, and a movable object effect is stored in advance in a predetermined area of the effect data storage unit 320g of the effect control ROM. In the effect data storage unit 320g, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), as effect data, effect data DH that is executed during a special symbol change game, effect data DH that is executed during a jackpot game, The demonstration effect data DM to be executed during the demonstration is stored. Further, decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ for displaying a decorative symbol variation game corresponding to the variation pattern executed in the special symbol variation game is also stored.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (B), the variation game effect data DHn includes background display data (DHn1), character display data (DHn2), light emission effect data (DHn3), sound effect data (DHn4), And movable body effect data (DHn5). In the variation game in-game effect data DHn, among the DHn1 to DHn5, for example, when the movable object effect is not performed, DHn5 is blank data.

  The jackpot medium effect data DV includes DV1, DV2,... According to the jackpot type. Similarly, the demonstration data DM during the demonstration includes a plurality of patterns for demo 1 (DM1), demo 2 (DM2),.

  The decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ is data corresponding to a variation pattern instructed based on the result of the lottery by the main control board 310, such as normal deviation, per normal, out of reach, per reach, out of super reach, per super reach, etc. It is remembered. For this reason, in the present embodiment, normal state decorative symbol variation effect data DKZa corresponding to the decorative symbol variation time corresponding to the normal state variation pattern table 313a of the main control board 310, and the short time state variation of the main control board 310. The short-time-state decorative pattern variation effect data DKZb corresponding to the decorative symbol variation time corresponding to the pattern table 313b is stored in the effect data storage unit 320g of the effect control board 320.

  The display control board 370 superimposes the decorative design variation effect data DKZ corresponding to the variation pattern so as to be superimposed on the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display device LCD in accordance with the background display data DHn1 instructed from the effect control substrate 320. indicate. In this display effect, if character display data DHn2 is present, an effect of displaying the character image in an overlapping manner is also executed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the variation game effect data DH does not correspond to the variation pattern on a one-to-one basis. And it becomes the structure determined by the production | presentation control board side by distribution from some. Similarly, the decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ has a one-to-one correspondence with the variation time 1 for the variation pattern 1, for example. As shown in FIG. 1b,... Is determined on the side of the production control board by sorting among a plurality. These sortable production data DH and decorative design variation patterns are configured such that a reliability group is formed, such as a group that is easy to distribute when the variation pattern is a big hit, a group that is difficult to distribute when it is out of place, and a reverse group. The distribution probability is set to.

[7 Special drawing start processing on main control board]
The main control board 310 reads the start suspension information stored in the RAM by the control system shown in FIG. 7A and causes the special symbol display unit TKZ to execute the special symbol variation corresponding to the “hit / miss”. The display effect (background, character, etc.), sound effect, light emission effect, movable object effect, etc. are executed via the effect control board 320.

  The main control board 310 executes a special figure starting process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7B every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In this process, it is first determined whether or not a game effect (symbol variation or special game) is being executed (S210). If a game effect is being executed (S210: YES), the current process is terminated. To do. On the other hand, when the game effect is not being executed (S210: NO), it is determined whether or not start hold information is stored in a predetermined storage area in the RAM (S220). If the start hold information is not stored (S220: NO), it is determined whether or not the demonstration effect is being executed (S230). If the demonstration effect is being executed, the process is terminated (S230: YES), and the demonstration effect is performed. If not being executed (S230: NO), the demonstration control board 320 is commanded to start the demonstration effect (S240).

  If the start hold information is stored (S220: YES), it is determined whether or not the start hold information in the storage order is the special figure 1 start hold information (S250). If it is special figure 1 start hold information (S250: YES), the special figure 1 storage number N1 is decremented (S260), and the start hold information (random number 1 to random number 4) in the earliest storage order is read (S270). . As a result, the storage order of the start hold information in the storage area in the RAM is updated, and the hold display implemented via the special-purpose display TKZ and the liquid crystal display device LCD is also updated.

  It is determined whether or not the random number 1 in the special figure 1 start hold information read in this way matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM of the main control board 310 (S310). As the jackpot determination value, a jackpot probability at the time of non-probability change (low probability) and a jackpot probability at the time of probability change state (high probability) are set in advance.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (S310: YES), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the change is a big hit (S320). Then, based on the value of random number 2, the main control board 310 determines the “big hit symbol” to be confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display TKZ (S330). Here, the value of the random number 2 is associated with a jackpot symbol corresponding to the allocation rate of the hit type for the special figure 1 start hold information. Therefore, the main control board 310 determines the jackpot symbol associated with the read random number 2 value in the process of S330. When the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is determined, one variation pattern (variation time) is determined from a plurality of “variation patterns for jackpot presentation (variation time)” based on the value of the random number 4 (S340). ).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in S310 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control board 310 executes the reach effect based on the random number 3 in the special figure 1 start hold information read in S270. It is determined whether or not to perform (S350). In the present embodiment, the main control board 310 performs the determination in S315 depending on whether or not the value of the random number 3 matches the reach effect execution determination value stored in the ROM. If the determination result in S350 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control board 310 determines a “offset symbol” to be confirmed and stopped on the special-figure indicator TKZ (S335). Based on the value, one variation pattern (variation time) is determined from a plurality of “variation patterns for deviation reach production (variation time)” (S345).

  In addition, when the determination result of reach determination in S350 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control board 310 determines the “offset symbol” that is to be confirmed and stopped on the special figure display TKZ ( S338). Next, the main control board 310 determines one variation pattern (variation time) from among a plurality of “variation patterns for variation effect (variation time)” based on the value of the random number 4 (S348).

  After determining the variation pattern (variation time) and the final stop symbol in this way, the main control board 310 outputs a predetermined signal to the effect control board 320 at a predetermined timing (S360). Specifically, the main control board 310 outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing a variation pattern and decorative symbol variation start, and starts measuring the production time specified by the variation pattern. At the same time, the main control board 310 controls the special figure indicator TKZ so as to start the special figure fluctuation display. In addition, the main control board 310 outputs a special figure designation command for instructing a special symbol to be a final stop symbol. Thus, the main control board 310 ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control board 310 displays the determined final stop symbol after performing the symbol variation corresponding to the variation time set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of the special figure display TKZ are controlled. Also, the main control board 310 instructs the effect control board 320 to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the change time set in the specified change pattern, and displays all symbols for displaying the combination of symbols fixedly stopped. Output a stop command.

  On the other hand, if the start hold information in the earliest storage order is not the special figure 1 start hold information (S250: NO), it is determined whether it is the special figure 2 start hold information (S255). If it is special figure 2 start hold information (S255: YES), the special figure 2 storage number N2 is decremented (S265), and the start hold information in the earliest storage order is read (S275). Thereafter, the special figure 2 variation display process (S400) is executed. The special figure 2 variation display process of S400 is configured in the same manner as S310 to S360. Note that the jackpot type distribution probability based on the random number 2 in the step corresponding to S330 is more advantageous to the player than the special figure 1 start hold information.

  In this special figure starting process, the memory is digested in order from the one with the highest storage order. Here, the pachinko machine P of the present embodiment is set to “ordinary symbol winning probability ≈ 0” in the normal gaming state, and is assigned a promising change or a short time after the special game is finished by distributing the jackpot symbol when it becomes a big hit If it is, it is changed to “ordinary symbol winning probability≈0”.

  As a result, since it is difficult to obtain the special figure 2 start hold information even if the player makes a right turn in the normal game state, the player plays the game left and accumulates the special figure 1 start hold information. Run a game. As a result, in the normal gaming state, the special figure start process proceeds in such a manner that the special figure 1 start hold information is read in the storage order and the determination is executed.

  On the other hand, when the special figure determination is a big hit, and a certain change or a short time is given to the gaming state after the special game that accompanies the big jackpot, it is easy to accumulate special figure 2 start hold information using so-called electric Chu support. Become. The pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment makes it easy to win the special winning game 15 by making a right hit in the big winning opening 15, and executes a right-handed navigation display on the liquid crystal display device LCD or the like. According to this right-handed navigation display, the player plays a right-handed game while the special game is being executed. And if a certain change or short time is given, the player will continue to make a right-handed game by following the navigation display that suggests a right-handed game even after the special game ends. Can be executed. As a result, in the game state with certainty and time saving, the special figure 1 start hold information that was held immediately before the execution of the special game is first digested, and then the special figure 2 start hold information is read according to the storage order. The special figure starting process proceeds in a manner in which the determination and the like are performed.

  In addition, when the game state to which probability change or time saving is given is started, the special figure 2 start hold information can be preferentially consumed. In this case, when returning to the normal gaming state, the special figure start process proceeds in such a manner that the special figure 1 start hold information is exhausted after the special figure 2 start hold information no longer exists.

[8 Fluctuation production by production control board]
The change effect by the effect control board 320 is executed by receiving a change command from the main control board 310 by the control system shown in FIG.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8B, the variation effect process is executed when the game is not in a special game and not in the demonstration display state (S910: NO, S920: NO).

  When the change command is received (S930: YES), the decorative design change effect data DKZ and the change game effect data DH used for the current display effect are determined (S940).

  Here, in the present embodiment, a plurality of decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ is stored for each variation pattern (variation time) in the effect data storage unit 320g of the effect control ROM. In the process of S940, since the variation pattern is specified by the input from the main control board 310, one DKZ used in the present variation game effect is selected from the plurality of DKZs that can be selected for the variation pattern. Determined by lottery.

  The effect data storage unit 320g of the effect control ROM stores a plurality of variation game effect data DH for each variation pattern (variation time). In the process of S940, since the variation pattern is specified by the input from the main control board 310, one DH used in the present variation game effect is selected from the plurality of DHs that can be selected for the variation pattern. Determined by lottery.

  Data corresponding to the determined DH and DKZ is read from the effect data storage unit 320g (S950), and the variable effect is started (S990).

  When the all-design stop command is received from the main control board 310 (S1010: YES), the effect based on the variation game effect data DH (S1000) is terminated by stopping the confirmed symbol in the decorative symbol variation effect (S1020). . The fixed symbol stop timing in the decorative symbol variation display is synchronized with the special symbol fixed timing to the special symbol display TKZ by the main control board 310.

  When the special game is being played (S910: YES), not the variable game effect data DH but the jackpot effect data DV is read (S1050), and the jackpot effect routine is executed (S1060). If it is the demonstration display timing (S920: YES), the demonstration effect data DM is read (S1070), and the demonstration effect routine is executed (S1080).

[9 Special game control]
Next, as the control processing during the special game, the big winning opening opening / closing control executed by the main control board 310 and the big hit medium effect control executed by the effect control board 320 will be described.

  The jackpot round control is performed by the control system shown in FIG. 9A, and the big winning opening opening / closing control shown in FIG. 9B by the main control board 310 and the big hit shown in FIG. It is the structure which performs production control.

  In the main control board 310, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the special symbol lottery result is a big win and the first round of the special game is started (S1110: YES), the round number R is set to “1”. (S1120), and the winning prize opening / closing solenoid SOL7 is turned "ON" (S1130). As a result, the door or the blade that closed the special winning opening 15 is opened, and the game ball is ready for winning.

  Subsequently, the main control board 310 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (S1140) and whether or not there has been a predetermined number of winnings (S1150). When either “predetermined time has elapsed” or “predetermined number of winnings” is established (S1140: YES, or S1150: YES), the big opening / closing solenoid SOL7 is turned “OFF” and the number of rounds is incremented ( S1160).

  The main control board 310 subsequently determines whether or not the final round has ended (S1170), and repeats the control processing from S1130 onward until the final round ends (S1170: NO). The process ends (S1170: YES).

  In the effect control board 320, as shown in FIG. 9C, the special game effect data DV corresponding to the jackpot type is determined (S1310), and the opening effect is started (S1320). This opening effect is continued until the start timing of the first round of the special game is reached (S1330: NO). When the start timing of the first round is reached (S1330: YES), the opening effect is ended and a special game effect based on the DV read in S1310 is started (S1340). This special game effect is continued until the end timing of the final round of the special game is reached (S1350: NO). When the final round finish timing is reached (S1350: YES), the ending effect is started (S1380). This ending effect has an execution period determined by time. For this reason, when the predetermined time has elapsed (S1390: YES), the ending effect is ended (S1400).

  The fluctuation effect and the jackpot effect by the effect control board 320 are not particularly changed by adding the woofer SPwf. In this embodiment, the woofer SPwf is added in order to execute a powerful sound production with heavy bass, but by adding the sound signal processing board 450, there is nothing for the configuration upstream from the sound control board 430. This is because it has no effect.

[10 Configuration / Operation / Effect of Example 1]
The pachinko machine P according to the first embodiment is configured to display a variation of symbols and to obtain a privilege when a predetermined lottery is won [special drawing start processing by main control board, opening / closing of a prize opening Processing], an effect control board [production effect processing during change by the effect control board 320 or the like, effect processing during the big hit] that outputs an audio signal by outputting an audio signal to the speaker, and further has the following configuration.

  In the configuration in which the production control board [sound control board 430] outputs an amplified sound signal [SWND10] to be an amplifier output suitable for a mid-high range speaker [SPfr] generally used in gaming machines. It is possible to prevent the second amplifying means [AMP2] from being damaged by temporarily reducing the sound pressure by means [ATTN] and inputting it to the second amplifying means [AMP2].

The pachinko machine P according to the first embodiment further includes the following configuration.
[4] The sound signal processing board [450] is provided so that the attenuation means [ATTN] is positioned upstream of the second filter means [LPF].

  By inputting the audio signal [SWND10] attenuated by the attenuation means [ATTN] to the second filter means [LPF], it is possible to prevent the second filter means [LPF] from being damaged.

  In the second embodiment, a high-frequency speaker SPhgh and a mid-range speaker SPmdl are used instead of the two full-range speakers SPfr, and an audio signal processing board 450B shown in FIG. It has been changed to a configuration provided.

  In the second embodiment, the sound control board 430B cuts the high sound component and the extremely low sound component of the sound effect sound source data determined in accordance with the sound effect command from the effect control board 320 by a one-chip microcomputer by software setting. After that, it is inputted to the amplifier AMP1, amplified so as to have a predetermined volume level (sound pressure), and then output for two lines as the original sound signal SWND20 from the two audio output terminals SWNDout20a and SWNDout20b. Yes.

  In response to this, the audio signal processing board 450B includes two audio signal input terminals SWNDin20a and SWNDin20b for separately inputting two lines of audio signals output from the two audio output terminals SWNDout20a and 20b of the audio control board 430. ing. A first audio output terminal SWNDout21 is provided at the tip of the first audio signal transmission line LINE21a from one audio signal input terminal SWNDin20a, and the first audio output terminal SWNDout21 is connected to a speaker SPhgh for high sound range. The second audio output terminal SWNDout22 is provided at the tip of the second audio signal transmission line LINE21b from the other audio signal input terminal SWNDin20b, and the second audio output terminal SWNDout21b is used as the mid-range speaker SPmdl. Connected.

  The first audio signal transmission line LINE21a is provided with a high-pass filter HPF21 configured to leave the high sound range and cut the low sound range in a wide range, and the second audio signal transmission line LINE21b. A band pass filter BPF configured to cut the high sound range and the low sound range in hardware and leave only the middle sound range is installed.

  In addition, a first branch line LINE22a and a second branch line LINE22b branched from the first audio signal transmission line LINE21a and the second audio signal transmission line LINE21b on the upstream side of the filter are provided. The attenuator ATTN is installed so that the audio signals of both the branch lines LINE22a and LINE22b are respectively input, and the mixer MIX that mixes the audio signals of both the branch lines LINE22a and LINE22b is installed on the downstream side of the attenuator ATTN. It is. A low-pass filter LPF and a second amplifier AMP2 similar to those of the first embodiment are installed on the third branch line LINE22c connecting the mixer MIX and the third audio output terminal SWNDout23, and a third audio output is provided. A woofer SPwf is connected to the terminal SWNDout23. The amplifier power supply for the second amplifier AMP2 is supplied from the sound control board 430B, as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in the figure, the original sound signal SWND20 output from the sound control board 430B is obtained by cutting high sound components and extremely low sound components of sound source data for sound effects by software setting. This original sound signal SWND20 was processed into a high-frequency signal SWND21 having a high-frequency characteristic in which a heavy bass component was cut wide by hardware by a high-pass filter HPF while passing through the first audio signal transmission line LINE21a. Above, it is output from the first audio signal output terminal SWNDout21. As a result, the sound output based on the high sound range signal SWND21 is performed from the high sound range speaker SPhgh.

  On the other hand, the original sound signal SWND20 is a midrange signal in which only the midrange is left by cutting the high range and the low range in hardware by the band pass filter BPF while passing through the second audio signal transmission line LINE21b. After being processed into SWND22, it is output from the second audio signal output terminal SWNDout22. As a result, sound output based on the mid-range signal SWND22 is made from the mid-range speaker SPmdl.

  On the other hand, the original sound signal SWND20 is reduced in sound pressure by the attenuator ATTN while passing through each of the first and second branch lines LINE22a and LINE22b, and then mixed by the mixer MIX, and then by the low-pass filter LPF. The middle and high frequency range components are cut so that only the heavy bass component is left in hardware, and then processed into the heavy bass signal SWND23 amplified to a predetermined sound pressure by the second amplifier AMP2.

In this way, when the mid-high range is enriched, for example, when a sound production is made with a woofer [SPwf] and powerful in the low range, each of the mid-high range speakers with different range characteristics Correspondingly, the audio signal before passing through the second filter means [HPF, BPF] is input to the mixer means [MIX] and integrated, and then input to the second filter means [LPF] for the woofer, The heavy bass for the woofer can be covered with a sufficiently wide range so that the bass is not roughened. As a result, depending on the type of sound source data, the sound production that makes use of one of the high, middle, and low frequencies and the sound production that makes the best use of the entire high and low range can be accurately executed. Can do.

  In each embodiment, a tweeter may be provided instead of a woofer, or a woofer and a tweeter may be provided together.

  According to the first and second embodiments, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can execute an effective sound effect from a low sound range to a high sound range without reducing the degree of freedom of design. For example, it is not necessary to change the design of the effect control board 320 and the sound control board 430 when a speaker is installed later in the gaming machine. Also, there is no need to create sound data for additional speakers, and it can be handled only by changing the software filter settings as necessary.

  As mentioned above, although several examples and modifications as the best mode for carrying out the invention have been described, the present invention is not limited to these, and various modifications within the scope not departing from the gist thereof. Is possible.

  For example, the present invention can be applied to a slot machine. The one-chip microcomputer of the voice control board 430 may have a function of changing the setting of the amplification factor of the amplifier AMP1 so as to increase or decrease the volume in response to the operation of the cursor button CB. An increase / decrease amplifier may be installed between the audio control board 430 and the audio signal processing board 450, or between the audio signal processing board 450 and the speaker SPfr or the like.
