If the game ball B stays on the mounting portion 44 a, the game ball B is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. Therefore, there arises a problem that the main body frame 4 cannot be closed.

  On the other hand, in the ball biting prevention mechanism 44 of the present embodiment, the game ball B dropped on the outer frame lower hinge member 60 or the placement portion 44a is transferred to the discharge hole 60d of the outer frame lower hinge member 60 and the first. The game ball B can be discharged to the rear of the curtain plate rear member 43 (rear of the outer frame 2) through the discharge port 44b or the second discharge port 44c, and between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4. It is possible to prevent the game ball B from being caught.

  The outer frame lower assembly 40 closes the pair of guide members 45 disposed on the upper surfaces of the curtain plate front member 42 and the curtain plate rear member 43 so as to be separated from each other on the left and right sides, and the opening 42a of the curtain plate front member 42 from the rear side. A flat grill member 46, and a port member 47 having two cylinders attached to the front of the curtain plate front member 42 so as to close the opening 42a across the grill member 46 and extending in the front-rear direction. And a frame-shaped seal member 48 disposed at the upper end of the connecting tube portion 43a of the curtain plate rear member 43.

  The pair of guide members 45 are configured such that the lower end of the door frame 3 comes into contact with the outer frame 2 when the main body frame 4 is closed. The guide member 45 is made of a low friction material having a low frictional resistance, and makes the lower end of the main body frame 4 easy to slide to facilitate opening and closing.

  The grill member 46 is formed of a punching metal having innumerable small holes. The port member 47 communicates the curtain plate inner space 40 a (enclosure 624) and the front of the outer frame 2 through the grill member 46 by two cylinders. The port member 47 has two cylinders that are formed with a predetermined inner diameter and a predetermined length. The port member 47 resonates and amplifies a bass sound emitted backward (inside the enclosure 624) from the main body frame speaker 622 based on the principle of Helmholtz resonance. Thus, a rich bass can be radiated to the front (player side) of the outer frame 2. That is, in this embodiment, the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 is a bass-reflex type, and a player can hear a heavy bass.

  When the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the seal member 48 is sandwiched and compressed between the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43 a and the lower end of the connection portion 621 c of the speaker cover 621 in the main body frame 4. This prevents the sound in the speaker enclosure from leaking from between the connection tube 43a and the connection 621c.

  The handle base 181 of the handle unit 180 includes a cylindrical base 181a extending in the front-rear direction, a disk-shaped front end 181b projecting radially from the front end of the base 181a, and a recess from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical base 181a. And three groove portions 181c that extend in the axial direction and are formed at irregular intervals in the circumferential direction. The base portion 181 a of the handle base 181 is formed so that the outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 102 a of the handle mounting member 102. Further, the three groove portions 181c are formed at positions corresponding to the three protrusions 102c of the cylindrical portion 102a in the handle mounting member 102. Accordingly, the base portion 181a can be inserted into the cylindrical portion 102a of the handle mounting member 102 with the three groove portions 181c aligned with the three protrusions 102c, and the protrusions 102c are respectively inserted into the three groove portions 181c. By being inserted, the handle base 181 cannot be rotated relative to the handle mounting member 102.

  The handle 182 includes four first protrusions 182a, second protrusions 182b, third protrusions 182c, and fourth protrusions 182d that protrude outward in the circumferential direction from the outer peripheral surface, and a rotation shaft (shaft member 187).

  The four first protrusions 182a, the second protrusion 182b, the third protrusion 182c, and the fourth protrusion 182d are sequentially provided in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. More specifically, the first protrusion 182a bulges so that the side surface in the clockwise direction of the front view of the portion that protrudes most from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 182 bulges outward, and the counter-rotation around the opposite side The side surface in the direction of is recessed (curled) so as to curve inward. The portion of the second protrusion 182b that protrudes most from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 182 is separated from the portion of the first protrusion 182a that protrudes most in the clockwise direction by a rotation angle of about 85 degrees, and from the first protrusion 182a. Slightly low. The second protrusion 182b bulges so that the side face in the clockwise direction of the front projection of the second protrusion 182b bulges outward, and the side face in the counterclockwise direction that is the opposite side is curved inward. And is formed in a shape similar to the first protrusion 182a.

  The portion of the third protrusion 182c that protrudes most from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 182 is away from the most protruded portion of the second protrusion 182b in a clockwise direction by a rotation angle of about 70 degrees, and the first protrusion 182a It protrudes at about half the height. The third protrusion 182c is inclined substantially linearly on the side surfaces on both sides, and more gently than the side surface in the counterclockwise direction where the side surface in the clockwise direction is the opposite side. The fourth protrusion 182d has a portion that protrudes most from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 182 away from the most protruded portion of the third protrusion 182c in a clockwise direction by a rotation angle of about 55 degrees, and from the first protrusion 182a. It protrudes slightly higher. The fourth protrusion 182d is formed in a substantially isosceles triangle with side surfaces on both sides inclined substantially linearly.

  The cover pedestal 183 is formed in a disk shape and includes three mounting bosses 183a that protrude rearward from the rear surface. The three mounting bosses 183a are attached to the front surface of the handle base 181 through the slit 182e of the handle 182 from the front. Since the mounting boss 183a of the handle cover 185 passes through the slit 182e of the handle 182, the mounting boss 183a comes into contact with the circumferential end of the slit 182e, thereby restricting the rotation angle of the handle 182. In this example, the handle 182 can be rotated within a range of a rotation angle of about 120 degrees.

  The handle cover 185 has a front surface that bulges forward and has translucency. The handle cover 185 includes a lens member that is three-dimensionally formed of a transparent member. The handle cover 185 is decorated with light emission by appropriately emitting LEDs on the front surface of the handle decoration substrate 184.

  The handle unit 180 is attached to the handle attachment seat surface 101 b of the door frame base 101 via the handle attachment member 102. The handle mounting seating surface 101b of the door frame base 101 is inclined so that the right end side is located rearward of the left end side in plan view, and faces the outside (open side). The handle unit 180 that is attached to the pachinko machine 1 is also inclined to the outside in a plan view (in other words, the front end of the pachinko machine 1 is inclined to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line orthogonal to the front surface of the pachinko machine 1). Are attached and fixed to the door frame 3. Thereby, it is easy for a player to grip the handle 182 of the handle unit 180, and it is possible to perform a turning operation without feeling uncomfortable.

  The handle rotation detection sensor 189 of the handle unit 180 is a variable resistor. When the handle 182 is rotated, the detection shaft 189 a of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 rotates via the shaft member 187 and the transmission gear 188. The internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 189a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 542 in the ball launching device 540 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189. The game ball B is driven into the game area 5a with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 182.

  The handle touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting on the handle unit 180. When the player touches the handle 182 or the like, the handle touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting from the player, and the player touches the handle 182 or the like. Detect contact. When the handle 182 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 192 detects a player's contact, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is accepted, and the firing solenoid has a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 182. The drive of 542 is controlled and the game ball B can be driven. That is, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the player's contact even if the player tries to drive the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 182 by some method without touching the handle 182. Therefore, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven and the game ball B cannot be driven. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from playing the game by rotating the handle 182 in a different way from the original, and to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. .

  Further, when the player presses the single button 193 while the player rotates the handle 182, the single button operation sensor 194 detects the operation of the single button 193, and the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 detects the handle unit 180. The driving of the firing solenoid 542 is stopped. Thereby, even if it does not return rotation operation of the handle | steering-wheel 182, while launching of the game ball B can be stopped temporarily, by releasing the press operation of the single button 193, before operating the single button 193, The game ball B can be driven again into the game area 5a with the driving strength.

  Furthermore, the handle unit 180 includes four first protrusions 182a, second protrusions 182b, third protrusions 182c, and fourth protrusions 182d on the handle 182, and the handle 182 rotates most in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. Thus, when the game ball B is most strongly struck into the game area 5a (so-called “right-handed”), the fourth protrusion 182d is formed on the first protrusion 182a when the handle 182 is not rotated. Since the position is substantially the same as the position, by changing the handle 182 with the fourth protrusion 182d as the first protrusion 182a, the player can maintain the handle 182 in the "right-handed" position in an easy state, It is possible to reduce a player's feeling of fatigue and suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

  When the production operation button unit 360 is assembled, as shown in FIG. 62 (a), the guide pin 364d of the lift base 364 is in a state where the lift base 364 is biased upward by a pair of lift springs 365. It is inserted from below into the engaging portion 371c of the cam portion 371a of the elevating cam member 371. In this state, the lift base 364 is in the lowered position where it has moved downward, and the pair of lift springs 365 is compressed. Further, in this state, the central button body 373 is positioned at the upward movement end by the urging force of the button spring 374, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. It has become.

  Therefore, when assembled in the effect operation unit 300, the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 protrudes slightly upward from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 is higher than the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380.

  In this state (the state shown in FIG. 62A), when the central button cover 375 (central pressing operation portion 303a) is pressed downward and moved downward against the urging force of the button spring 374, the central button body 373 is moved. The pressure detection piece 373e is detected by the pressure detection sensor 381, and the pressing operation of the central pressing operation portion 303a is detected. In a state in which the center pressing operation portion 303a is pressed, the upper surface of the center button cover 375 is substantially the same height as the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 (see FIG. 65C).

  In this state, even if the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b) is pressed downward, the outer peripheral button cover 380 does not move downward, and the press detection piece 373e of the central button body 373 is pressed. It is not detected by the detection sensor 381. That is, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is not detected.

  When the lift drive gear 368 is rotated counterclockwise in plan view by the operation button lift drive motor 367 in the lowered position, the lift cam is driven via the driven gear 369 engaged with the lift drive gear 368. The gear member 370 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in plan view, and the elevating cam member 371 connected to the elevating cam drive gear member 370 also rotates in the same direction. When the elevating cam member 371 rotates counterclockwise, the cam portion 371a seen in the front in FIG. 62 moves to the right, and the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 is moved from the locking portion 371c to the first position. The cam 371b rolls to the left portion of the locking portion 371c, and the lifting base 364 moves downward against the biasing force of the lifting spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

  When the guide pin 364d that rolls relatively to the left along the first cam 371b with the rotation of the lifting cam member 371 is positioned from the left end of the first cam 371b to the second cam 371d side, Since the two cams 371d extend vertically upward with respect to the first cam 371b, the urging force of the elevating spring 365 moves the guide pin 364d along the second cam 371d, and the guide pin 364d At the same time, the lifting base 364 is raised to a raised position.

  In the raised position, as shown in FIG. 62 (b), the guide pin 364d of the lifting base 364 is in contact with the second cam 371d of one cam portion 371a and the third cam 371e of the remaining cam portion 371a. It is in a state. In this state, the driving of the operation button lifting / lowering drive motor 367 is temporarily stopped.

  In the raised position, the upper end of the upright wall portion 364c of the lifting base 364 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper base 363, and further upward movement of the lifting base 364 is restricted. In the raised position, the positional relationship between the central button cover 375 (central pressing operation portion 303a) and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b) at the lowering position is maintained, and the central button cover 375 is maintained. In addition, the entire pressing operation unit 303 including the outer peripheral button cover 380 is moved upward, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380.

  When assembled in the production operation unit 300 and moved to the raised position, the center button cover 375 and the outer button cover 380 are in a state of projecting larger than the upper surface of the production operation ring 330 (see FIG. 65B, etc.). reference).

  When the central button cover 375 (central pressing operation portion 303 a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the button spring 374 in the raised position, the central button cover 375 and the central button body 373 are attached to the button spring 374. The center button body 373 comes into contact with the lifting base 364 by moving downward against the force. In a state where the central button body 373 is in contact with the lifting base 364, the press detection piece 373e of the central button body 373 protrudes downward from the lifting base 364, but the lifting base 364 is the button unit base 361. Therefore, the pressure detection piece 373e is not detected by the pressure detection sensor 381.

  When the central button cover 375 (central pressing operation portion 303a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the central button cover 375 and the central button body 373 resist the urging force of the button spring 374, After the central button body 373 contacts the lifting base 364, the lifting base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the lifting spring 365, and the lower end of the lifting base 364 contacts the button unit base 361. Become. When the elevating base 364 contacts the button unit base 361, the elevating base 364 is in the lowered position, and the outer button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b) is also in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364.

  As described above, when the elevating base 364 contacts the button unit base 361 in a state where the central button main body 373 is in contact with the elevating base 364, the pressing detection piece 373e of the central button main body 373 protruding downward from the elevating base 364. Is detected by the press detection sensor 381, and the pressing of the center button cover 375 (the center pressing operation portion 303a) is detected.

  On the other hand, when the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b) is pressed downward with a force higher than the urging force of the elevating spring 365 in the raised position, the elevating base 364 is moved up and down via the outer peripheral button cover 380. The lower end of the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361 by moving downward against the urging force of 365. In this state, the outer peripheral button cover 380 is in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364. However, since the central button cover 375 (central pressing operation portion 303a) protrudes upward by the urging force of the button spring 374, the central button body The pressure detection piece 373e of 373 does not protrude downward from the lift base 364, and the pressure detection piece 373e is not detected by the pressure detection sensor 381.

  In order to return the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (the pressing operation unit 303) from the raised position to the lowered position, the raising / lowering cam member 371 is rotated counterclockwise by the operation button raising / lowering drive motor 367. 62B, the third cam 371e that is in contact with the upper left of the guide pin 364d of the lifting base 364 moves to the right (in the direction of the guide pin 364d). The guide pin 364d is pressed downward by 371e, and the lift base 364 moves downward against the biasing force of the lift spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

  When the guide pin 364d moves from the lower end of the third cam 371e toward the first cam 371b along with the rotation of the lift cam member 371, the downward movement of the lift base 364 stops, and the guide pin 364d moves to the first cam. Roll along 371b. Thereafter, when the guide pin 364d reaches the position of the locking portion 371c in the middle of the first cam 371b, the guide pin 364d is inserted into the locking portion 371c recessed upward by the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the operation By stopping the rotation of the lift cam member 371 by the button lift drive motor 367, the original lowered position is obtained.

Yes.

[3-5-5j. Effect of production operation unit]
Next, the operation of the effect operation unit 300 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. FIG. 63 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the effect operation ring and the rotary drive unit in the left side view of the effect operation unit. FIG. 64 is an explanatory diagram showing a relationship between the effect operation ring and the effect operation ring decorative board in a plan view of the effect operation unit as seen from the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit. FIG. 65 (a) is a front view of the dish unit shown in a normal state, (b) is a front view of the dish unit when the pressing operation part is in the raised position, and (c) is a central pressing of the pressing operation part. It is a front view of a dish unit when an operation part is pressed.

  The effect operation unit 300 includes an effect operation unit 301 that can be operated by a player on the upper surface. The effect operation unit 301 includes a large annular rotation operation unit 302 and a pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302. The pressing operation unit 303 includes a columnar central pressing operation unit 303 a located at the center of the rotation operating unit 302, and an annular outer peripheral pressing operation unit disposed between the central pressing operation unit 303 a and the rotation operating unit 302. 303b.

  The rotation operation unit 302 is formed by the ring outer upper cover 335, the ring outer lower cover 336, and the ring inner cover 337 of the effect operation ring 330. The central pressing operation portion 303a is formed by the central button cover 375 and the central button body 373 of the effect operation button unit 360, and the outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b is formed by the outer peripheral button cover 380 and the outer peripheral substrate cover 378.

  The production operation unit 300 is assembled to the dish unit 200 in an inclined state so that the front side of the virtual plane formed by the upper surface of the annular rotation operation unit 302 (production operation ring 330) is lowered. Accordingly, the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 is inclined so as to move backward as it goes downward (in other words, move forward as it goes upward). .

  In the normal operation state, the production operation unit 300 has a state in which the pressing operation unit 303 slightly protrudes from the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. Specifically, the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 slightly protrudes upward from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. (See FIG. 63 and the like).

  In this normal state, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated clockwise as viewed from the left side by the operation ring drive motor 342 of the rotation drive unit 340, the effect operation ring 330 is transmitted via the operation ring transmission gear 350. The rotation operation unit 302 rotates in the clockwise direction in plan view. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated counterclockwise in the left side view by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view. .

  The operation ring drive motor 342 is a stepping motor, and can rotate and reciprocate the rotation operation unit 302 by repeating normal rotation and reverse rotation within a range of a predetermined rotation angle. Unlike the vibration by the vibration speaker 354, only the rotation operation unit 302 vibrates.

  The rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 can be rotated not only by the operation ring drive motor 342 but also by the player. When the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated in the clockwise direction in a plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 of the rotation drive unit 340 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the left side view via the operation ring transmission gear 350 and rotated. When the operation unit 302 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in left side view. The transmission detection gear member 345 detects rotation by two sensors, a first rotation detection sensor 347 and a second rotation detection sensor 348.

  The rotation of the transmission detection gear member 345 is detected by detecting the plurality of detection pieces 345b by the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348. More specifically, the interval between the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 that are separated in the circumferential direction is smaller than the interval between the plurality of detection pieces 345b that are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The interval is not an integer multiple. Thereby, the 1st rotation detection sensor 347 and the 2nd rotation detection sensor 348 are constituted so that detection piece 345b may not be detected at the same timing.

  In this embodiment, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the clockwise direction in the left side view, the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b and then the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b. To do. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates counterclockwise in the left side view, the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b and then the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b. Detect. Therefore, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 can detect the rotation direction of the transmission detection gear member 345 (the rotation operation unit 302) according to the order in which the detection pieces 345b are detected. Further, the rotation speed of the transmission detection gear member 345 (the rotation operation unit 302) can be detected based on the detection time of the detection piece 345b in the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348.

  Thus, since the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 can be detected, the content of the player participation type effect can be changed according to the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302. Further, when the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 is detected, the rotation operation unit 302 is driven to rotate in the same direction as the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342, so that the rotation operation can be lightly assisted. At the same time, by rotating the rotation operation unit 302 in the direction opposite to the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation can be made heavy or a click feeling can be given.

  The rotation operation portion 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is formed by a ring outer upper cover 335, a ring outer lower cover 336, and a ring inner cover 337, and is formed in a shape in which an arc of more than half of a circle extends in an annular shape. ing. In other words, the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a donut shape. As shown in the figure, the rotation operation unit 302 is attached in a state in which the outer peripheral surface, the upper surface, and a part of the inner peripheral surface are exposed, and thus is formed in a shape that can be easily grasped by the player's hand. .

  Thereby, since the player can touch the rotation operation unit 302 from various directions, the rotation operation unit 302 can be operated to rotate in a manner that is easy for the player to perform. Sexuality is enhanced. Further, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated even when the pressing operation unit 303 is in either the lowered position or the raised position. In addition, since the lower surface side of the rotation operation unit 302 is attached to the operation unit base 320, the rotation operation unit 302 cannot be gripped like a car handle.

  As shown in FIG. 64, the effect operation unit 300 includes an effect operation ring decoration board 352 in which a plurality of LEDs are arranged in an annular shape below the effect operation ring 330. As a result, the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 can be illuminated and decorated by causing the LEDs of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 to emit light. In addition, since the plurality of LEDs are arranged in a ring shape along the rotation operation unit 302 in the production operation ring decorative substrate 352, the plurality of LEDs arranged in sequence are sequentially arranged in accordance with the rotation of the rotation operation unit 302. By emitting light, it is possible to decorate only a specific part of the rotating operation unit 302 that is rotating. Thereby, it is possible to make the player have an illusion that an LED (decorative substrate) is provided in the rotating operation unit 302 that rotates.

  As shown in FIG. 65A, the production operation unit 300 has a pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 with an upper surface higher than the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302 in a normal state.

The pressure is detected by the sensor 381.

  In this normal (downward position) state, even if the outer periphery pressing operation portion 303b of the pressing operation portion 303 is pressed downward, the outer periphery pressing operation portion 303b (outer periphery button cover 380) does not move downward, and pressure detection is performed. The pressure is not detected by the sensor 381.

  When the lifting cam member 371 is rotated counterclockwise in plan view by the operation button lifting drive motor 367 in a normal state, the guide pin 364d of the lifting base 364 is detached from the cam portion 371a (first cam 371b). Due to the urging force of the pair of elevating springs 365, the pressing operation portion 303 together with the elevating base 364 vigorously protrudes upward to be in the raised position (see FIG. 65 (b)). In this raised position state, the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 303 is positioned higher than the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. In other words, the center button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 protrude upwardly from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330.

  When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed downward while the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, the central pressing operation unit 303a first moves downward against the urging force of the button spring 374, and the central pressing operation unit 303a The upper surface and the upper surface of the outer periphery pressing operation part 303b are in a state of substantially the same height. In this state, the pressure detection sensor 381 does not detect pressure. Further, the central pressing operation portion 303 a moves downward together with the outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303 b against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the upper surfaces of the central pressing operation portion 303 a and the outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303 b are the rotation operating portion 302. The height is substantially the same as the top surface (see FIG. 65C). In this state, the press detection sensor 381 detects the press.

  Further, when the outer periphery pressing operation portion 303b is pressed downward in a state where the pressing operation portion 303 is in the raised position, the upper surface of the central pressing operation portion 303a remains protruding above the upper surface of the outer periphery pressing operation portion 303b. The outer periphery pressing operation portion 303b and the center pressing operation portion 303a move downward, and the upper surface of the outer periphery pressing operation portion 303b is substantially in the same height as the upper surface of the rotation operation portion 302 (see FIG. 65 (a)). . In this state, the pressure detection sensor 381 does not detect pressure.

  As described above, the pressing operation unit 303 of the present embodiment is not detected by the pressing detection sensor 381 unless the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed to the lower moving end regardless of the lowered position or the raised position. ing. Accordingly, it is possible to prompt the player to firmly press the center pressing operation portion 303a, and therefore it is possible to attract attention to the operation of the effect operation portion 301 in the player participation type effect. , The player participation type production can be more enjoyed.

  Even when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated. Accordingly, when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, depending on the player, the rotation operation becomes easier with the pressing operation unit 303 as a clue, or the rotation operation is difficult due to the pressing operation unit 303 being in the way. Therefore, the operability of the rotation operation unit 302 can be changed, and more various operations can be enjoyed.

Is formed. The connection cable guide member 502 is attached so that the attachment shaft 502c can rotate around an axis extending vertically near the right end in the cable attachment recess 501h. Thereby, the connection cable guide member 502 can be rotated (hinged) so that the left end side protrudes forward.

  The connection cable guide member 502 is for guiding the connection cable 503. The connection cable 503 is composed of a plurality of wiring cords, one end of which is connected to the interface board 635 of the board unit 620, and the other end is the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub-board of the door frame 3. Connected to the relay board 105.

  Then, the effect by the connection cable guide member 502 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 84 and the like, the connection cable guide member 502 has an end portion (right end portion) opposite to the side (left side) on which the door frame 3 is attached to the main body frame base 501 so as to be able to rotate the hinge. ) Is rotatably mounted around an axis extending in parallel with the hinge axis of the door frame 3.

  The connection cable 503 that connects the interface board 635 of the main body frame 4 to the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub relay board 105 of the door frame 3 is connected to the interface board 635 on the side connected to the connection cable guide member. The left and right directions of the plurality of through-holes 502d formed on the upper and lower ends of the guide body 502a are in contact with the front surface of the guide body 502a so as to extend from the right to the left of the guide body 502a. It is attached to the guide body 502a by being tightened together with the guide body 502a by a binding band 504 inserted through a set of through holes 502d at the same position.

  The connection cable guide member 502 of the main body frame 4 is assembled to the pachinko machine 1 and the rear side of the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub relay board 105 of the door frame 3 with the door frame 3 closed with respect to the main body frame 4. (See FIG. 84 (a)). In this state, after the connection cable 503 extends leftward from the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is bent back in front of the lower hinge mounting portion 501 l and passes through the cable holder 103 a of the door frame 3 to open the door frame relay board cover. It extends into 107. The cable holder 103 a of the door frame 3 is disposed on the left side of the left end of the connection cable guide member 502.

  In this state, if the door frame 3 is hinge-rotated so as to open with respect to the main body frame 4, the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 is pulled forward by the side attached to the door frame 3 in the connection cable 503, The connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the right end mounting shaft 502c. At this time, in this embodiment, the relationship between the opening angle α of the door frame 3 and the opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 satisfies α / 2 ≧ β (preferably α / 3 ≧ β). (See FIG. 84B).

  The opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 is 0 degrees when the door frame 3 is closed (when the opening angle α of the door frame 3 is 0 degrees). The opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 increases as the door frame 3 is opened and the opening angle α increases. However, the increase stops when the opening angle α becomes larger than a certain degree (for example, about 90 degrees). It changes as follows. In this embodiment, the maximum angle of the open angle β is less than 45 degrees.

  As described above, when the door frame 3 is opened, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates so that the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 moves forward from the main body frame base 501. By guiding the connection cable 503, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 from hanging between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4.

  When the opened door frame 3 is closed, the portion of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3 moves relatively rearward, so that the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 is pushed rearward by the connection cable 503. Then, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates so that the left end side moves rearward about the attachment shaft 502c. At this time, since the connection cable guide member 502 is opened at an open angle β of less than 45 degrees, the connection cable guide member 502 does not hinder the door frame 3 from moving in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 It can be closed smoothly. Further, since the connection cable 503 is guided by the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is not sandwiched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 when the door frame 3 is closed, and the connection cable 503. It is possible to prevent a malfunction from occurring.

  Further, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 guided by the connection cable guide member 502 is folded back by 180 degrees, so that the connection cable 503 is folded at the folded portion. You can attach a heel. As a result, when the door frame 3 is opened and the portion of the connection cable 503 that is folded back 180 degrees is changed to open, a force to close the connection cable 503 due to folding is applied. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) from moving in the opening direction due to its folding, and to connect the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502). The door frame 3 can be guided in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be smoothly closed.

  Further, on the door frame 3 side, the folded connection cable 503 is positioned closer to the center axis (axial center) of the door frame upper hinge pin 122 and the door frame lower hinge pin 126 than the tip of the connection cable guide member 502. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable guide member 502 holds the distal end side of the connection cable guide member 502 with the door frame upper hinge pin 122 and the door frame 3. The door frame lower hinge pin 126 can be pulled toward the central axis (axial core) side.

  In the present embodiment, the door passes more than the cable holder 103a in the speaker duct 103 around the center axis (axial axis) of the hinge pin 122 on the door frame and the hinge pin 126 on the door frame through the rotation center of the connection cable guide member 502. The angle at which the tangent line that touches the circle passing through the portion (pressing portion) protruding rearward on the central axis (axial center) side of the upper hinge pin 122 and the lower door hinge pin 126 intersects the front surface of the main body frame 4 is 45 degrees. The configuration is as follows. Accordingly, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the pressing portion abuts on the connection cable 503, thereby closing the distal end side of the connection cable guide member 502 opened via the connection cable 503. Therefore, the connection cable guide member 502 can be smoothly closed with the movement of the door frame 3 in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be reliably closed. Further, since the maximum opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 that rotates (opens and closes) when the door frame 3 is opened and closed can be set to 45 degrees or less, the connection cable guide member 502 is closed when the door frame 3 is closed.

The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a branch from the ball extraction passage 580b in the payout passage 580a and extend to the right in the rear view at a position about 1/3 from above. It is formed at the left position. The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are curved so as to be recessed obliquely upward to the left in the rear view, and are mainly formed to constitute the side wall of the ball extraction passage 580b. The ball extraction movable piece 592 rotates between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

  The payout motor 584 is attached to the right in the rear view of the part where the payout passage 580a in the payout device main body 581 extends obliquely downward from the upstream end. The drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear member 588 are disposed in front of the payout device main body 581, and the front side is covered with the payout device front lid 583. The payout gear member 588 includes three plate-like detection pieces 588b extending outward at an angular interval of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction.

  The payout blade 589 is disposed between the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear cover 582. The payout blade 589 is provided with a plurality of blade pieces 589a extending outward in a flat plate shape at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. The blade piece 589a extends in the payout passage 580a from the upper side toward the rotation axis and then extends to the right in the rear view so that the space between the blade piece 589a and the side wall of the payout passage B is narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B. And protrudes into the payout passage 580a. The payout vane 589 includes a ball accommodating portion 589b that is recessed with an arc having a radius slightly larger than the radius of the game ball B toward the center between the three blade pieces 589a. Only one game ball B can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b. Thereby, the payout blade 589 can restrict the movement of the game ball B in the payout passage 580a to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 by the blade piece 589a and rotate in the clockwise direction when viewed from the back. Thereby, the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b can be moved to the downstream side.

  The payout gear member 588 and the payout blade 589 are attached coaxially by a payout device rear lid 582 and a payout device front lid 583 so as to be integrally rotatable. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is arranged on the left side of the rotation shaft of the payout gear member 588 in the rear view. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 detects the rotation of the dispensing blade 589 by detecting the detection piece 588b of the dispensing gear member 588 that rotates integrally with the dispensing blade 589.

  The upper end of the ball removal movable piece 592 is rotatably attached around an axis extending in the front-rear direction at the upper ends of the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. The ball-moving movable piece 592 is bent in a square shape, and is attached so that the recessed side faces the inside of the dispensing passage 580a. The ball-moving movable piece 592 has a depth in the front-rear direction that is smaller than a gap between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. It is possible to project into the ball extraction passage 580b or retreat out of the ball extraction passage 580b through the gap between the two.

  The ball release lever 593 is attached to the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear cover 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction in the rear left view near the upper end of the ball removal movable piece 592. A part of the ball pulling lever 593 passes through the dispensing device rear lid 582 and protrudes backward, and can be slid by operating the protruding portion. By positioning the ball removal lever 593 at the lower end, the lower portion can come into contact with the ball removal movable piece 592, and the rotation of the ball removal movable piece 592 in the clockwise direction in the rear view can be restricted. The ball removal passage 580b can be closed by the ball removal movable piece 592. Further, by positioning the ball removal lever 593 at the rising end, the ball removal movable piece 592 can be rotated to the outside of the ball removal passage 580b, and the ball removal passage 580b can be opened (FIG. 90).

  When the ball removal lever 593 is raised to turn the ball removal movable piece 592 so that the ball removal movable piece 592 can be rotated, the game ball B that has been in a state of being connected in a daisy chain on the upstream side of the ball removal movable piece 592 becomes the ball removal movable piece 592. Will flow down to the ball passage 580b side. At this time, since the ball discharge passage 580b extends straight from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a, the game ball B flowing down from the upstream of the payout passage 580a flows down straight to the ball discharge passage 580b. At the same time, since the downstream side of the ball removal passage 580b communicates with the island facility side, there is no such thing as the payout blade 589 that suppresses the flow of the game ball B, so that the game ball B is from the payout passage 580a side. Will soon flow down.

  In this way, in a state where the ball removal movable piece 592 is rotatable, the game ball B flows down at a high speed in the ball removal passage 580b, so that the ball removal movable piece 592 protruding into the ball removal passage 580b. The game ball B comes into contact with the lower end side of the ball, but the ball removal movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a of the payout device main body 581 and the rear cover side guide wall 582a of the payout device rear cover 582. Since it can move outward from the inner surface of the ball extraction passage 580b, the ball extraction movable piece 592 is moved to the outside of the ball extraction passage 580b by the abutment force. The game ball B is not sandwiched between the wall surface of the extraction passage 580b and the game ball B, so that a strong force can be prevented from acting on the ball extraction movable piece 592. Piece 59 Deterioration and breakage of the durability can be suppressed.

  For this reason, it is possible to make it difficult to damage the ball removal movable piece 592. Therefore, more game balls B can be discharged earlier to the island facility side downstream of the ball removal passage 580b. An increase in time required for replacement or maintenance of the machine 1 can be suppressed, and the burden on the game hall side can be reduced.

  Further, when the ball removal movable piece 592 is in a rotatable state, the ball removal movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a which are closer than the game ball B, and the ball removal passage 580b. Since the game ball B comes into contact with the ball removal movable piece 592 protruding into the ball removal passage 580b, the ball removal movable piece 592 is moved between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. Even when the game ball B moves together with the ball removal movable piece 592 to the side between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear cover side guide wall 582a when moving outward through the gap, the distance from the game ball B is larger. Only the game ball B can be prevented from moving outwardly between the narrow main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

  Then, the movement of the game ball B to the outside is prevented by the space between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, so that the game ball B is separated from the ball removal movable piece 592, and the subsequent ball Since the movable movable piece 592 is moved by an inertial force, a strong force is not applied to the movable ball movable piece 592, and the movable ball movable piece 592 can be made difficult to be damaged, and the body side guide The game ball B does not jump out of the ball extraction passage 580b from between the wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the game ball B can be reliably circulated downstream of the ball extraction passage 580b.

A closing spring 614.

  The lower full tank path unit 610 has a lower normal payout path 610a, a lower full tank payout path 610b, and a lower full ball discharge path 610c arranged in order from the left in the front view on the upper surface of the portion extending upward from the rear end. In the state, the respective upstream ends are open upward. The lower normal payout passage 610 a and the lower full tank payout passage 610 b extend forward in a state where they are arranged side by side, and then open forward at the front end of the lower full ball path unit 610. The lower full tank discharge passage 610b extends forward in a slightly lower state than the lower normal discharge passage 610a. The lower ball extraction passage 610c extends forward along the right side surface of the lower full tank discharge passage 610b as viewed from the front, and opens to the right in the middle of the front-rear direction.

  The payout passage opening / closing door 613 is rotatably attached at a position between the front end openings of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full discharge passage 610b. The discharge passage opening / closing door 613 is urged clockwise by a closing spring 614, and in the normal state, the front end opening (downstream end) of each of the lower normal discharge passage 610a and the lower full discharge passage 610b. The opening is closed. The payout passage opening / closing door 613 includes an operation protrusion 613a protruding forward. The operating projection 613a is formed in a short arc shape centered on the rotation center of the payout passage opening / closing door 613, and the front end surface approaches the end side in the counterclockwise direction. It is inclined to protrude forward. The operating protrusion 613a is formed so as to come into contact with the door opening / closing contact portion 150f of the foul cover unit 150 in the door frame 3 when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4.

  The lower full tank path unit 610 is assembled with the discharge unit 560, and the lower normal discharge path 610a, the lower full tank discharge path 610b, and the lower ball discharge path 610c, which are open upward at the upper end of the rear, It is located directly below the downstream end of the upper normal discharge passage 600c, the upper full tank discharge passage 600d, and the upper ball discharge passage 600e of the sphere path unit 600. Thereby, the game ball B released downward from the upper normal payout passage 600c flows through the lower normal payout passage 610a, and the game ball B released downward from the upper full payout passage 600d is lower lower full payout passage 610b. And the game ball B released downward from the upper ball extraction passage 600e flows through the lower ball extraction passage 610c.

  In addition, the lower full tank path unit 610 is assembled in the pachinko machine 1, and the front ends (downstream ends) of the lower normal discharge passage 610 a and the lower full discharge passage 610 b pass through the foul cover unit 150 in the door frame 3. It opens immediately after the ball passage 150a and the full ball receiving port 150b. In addition, the downstream end of the lower ball extraction passage 610c is opened to face the ball extraction guide portion 627 that opens to the left in the base unit 620b of the substrate unit 620.

  In a normal state (the state in which the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4), the lower full tank path unit 610 has the operating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 to be in contact with the door opening / closing of the foul cover unit 150 By abutting against the portion 150f, it rotates counterclockwise against the biasing force of the closing spring 614. As a result, the respective downstream end openings of the lower normal discharge passage 610a and the lower full tank discharge passage 610b are opened, and communicated with the through ball passage 150a and the full tank reception port 150b of the foul cover unit 150. It is in a state.

  On the other hand, when the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the operating protrusion 613 a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is separated from the door opening / closing contact portion 150 f of the foul cover unit 150, and the payout passage opening / closing door 613. Is rotated clockwise by the biasing force of the closing spring 614, and the respective downstream end openings of the lower normal discharge passage 610a and the lower full discharge passage 610b are closed. In this state, the game balls B in the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b cannot move forward from the respective front end openings. Thereby, even if the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the game ball B does not spill from the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank discharge passage 610b.

[4-7-5. Flow of game balls in payout unit]
Next, the flow of the game ball B in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. The payout unit 560 is attached to the rear surface of the payout base 551 when assembled in the main body frame 4. In a normal state, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is positioned at the lower end, and the ball pulling passage 580b branched from the payout passage 580a is closed at the branch portion. Further, in the lower full ball path unit 610, the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is open.

  In the ball tank 552 opened upward, from the game hall island facility where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, for example, a predetermined number of balls are detected based on the detection of the ball breakage by the ball breakage detection sensor 574 of the ball guidance unit 570. A game ball B is supplied. The game balls B supplied / stored in the ball tank 552 are sent into the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 through the guide passage 570a of the ball guide unit 570 while being aligned in a line by the tank rail 553. In a state in which the payout motor 584 is not rotating, the game ball B cannot move (flow down) downstream from the payout blade 589, and a plurality of game balls B stays upstream from the payout blade 589. It becomes.

  Then, the game ball B in the guide passage 570a of the ball guiding unit 570 presses the movable piece member 573, and the ball-cut detecting sensor 574 detects the movable piece member 573. Thereby, it can be seen that the game ball B is stored in at least the passage between the movable piece member 573 and the payout blade 589.

  In this state, when the payout vane 589 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the rear view by the payout motor 584, the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b moves in the clockwise direction in the rear view, and the payout vane in the payout passage 580a. It is discharged downstream of 589. Then, the game ball B released from the payout vane 589 (the ball housing portion 589b) is detected by the payout detection sensor 591 and then sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full ball path unit 600.

  In a normal state, the game ball B sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full ball path unit 600 is disposed directly below the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a through the upper ball storage passage 600b. It flows down to the upper normal payout passage 600c. Then, the game ball B that has flowed down to the upper normal payout passage 600c passes through the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full ball path unit 610 and the through ball passage 150a of the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3, and the dish unit 200. Are discharged into the upper plate 201 from the upper plate ball supply port 211a of the plate unit base 211.

  When many game balls B are paid out from the payout device 580 and the inside of the upper plate 201 is filled with the game balls B, the game ball B cannot be discharged forward from the upper plate ball supply port 211a. The game ball B paid out from 580 becomes accumulated in the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full ball path unit 610, and when the game ball B is further paid out, the lower side of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the upstream side. It also stays in the upper normal payout passage 600c of the upper full sphere path unit 600 in communication. Then, when the game ball B is paid out while the upper normal payout passage 600c is filled with the game balls B, the upper normal payout passage 600c enters the upper ball storage passage 600b communicating with the upstream side of the upper normal payout passage 600c. As the game ball B begins to stay, the game ball B starts to flow down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d adjacent to the upper normal payout passage 600c.

  Then, the game ball B that has flowed down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d side passes through the lower full tank payout passage 610b of the lower full tank pass unit 610, and is filled with a full tank ball receiving port 150b in the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3. Can be received. Thereafter, the game ball B received by the full ball receiving port 150b is discharged into the lower plate 202 through the storage passage 150e, the ball discharge port 150d, and the lower plate ball supply port 211c of the plate unit base 211. Thereby, when the game ball B is further paid out in a state where the upper plate 201 is full of the game balls B, the game ball B can be automatically paid out to the lower plate 202.

  If the game ball B is further paid out in a state where the lower plate 202 is filled with the game balls B and the game ball B cannot be discharged forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, the lower plate The game ball B stays and is stored in the storage passage 150e of the foul cover unit 150 on the upstream side of the ball supply port 211c. When a certain number of game balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the movable piece 153 is moved and detected by the full tank detection sensor 154, and the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are filled with the game balls B ( The player is informed that the tank is full, and the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580 is temporarily stopped until the full tank detection sensor 154 enters a non-detection state.

  When the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 is discharged from the pachinko machine 1 during maintenance or replacement of the pachinko machine 1, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is moved upward from the position of the descending end. Slide to the raised end position. After that, the lower end side of the ball removal movable piece 592 is pushed by the game ball B and rotates in the clockwise direction in the rear view, and the ball removal movable piece 592 It will be in the state pushed out to the outside of ball extraction passage 580b. Thus, the game ball B can enter the ball extraction passage 580b branched from the payout passage 580a, and the upstream game ball B is released downward through the ball extraction passage 580b.

  At this time, since the game ball B flowing down comes into contact with the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a more strongly than the ball removal movable piece 592 at the part of the ball removal movable piece 592, the ball removal movable piece 592 Is hard to break.

  The game ball B released downward from the ball extraction passage 580b of the payout device 580 passes through the upper ball extraction passage 600e of the upper full ball passage unit 600 and the lower ball extraction passage 610c of the lower full ball passage unit 610. And then discharged from the downstream end opening of the lower ball extraction passage 610c to the ball extraction guide portion 627 of the substrate unit 620, and then through the discharge ball receiving portion 628 and the ball discharge port 629 to the rear outside (game hall). To the island facility side).

  The speaker unit 620a has a speaker cover 621 attached below the game board mounting portion 501c on the rear surface of the main body frame base 501 in the main body frame base unit 500, and a front side near the left end of the rear surface of the speaker cover 621 in front view. A main body frame speaker 622 and a container-like speaker box 623 which is attached to the rear side of the speaker cover 621 so as to cover the rear side of the main body frame speaker 622 and is opened forward. .

  The speaker cover 621 extends in the left-right direction, penetrates forward and backward in the vicinity of the left end when viewed from the front, and includes a circular speaker mounting portion 621a configured by a plurality of slits extending vertically, and the front surface of the speaker mounting portion 621a. The front concave portion 621b that is recessed so as to bulge from the rear to the front on the right side of the view, and protrudes downward from the lower surface of the spatial front concave portion 621b and extends in the left-right direction toward obliquely downward and rearward A connecting portion 621c that is open.

  A body frame speaker 622 is attached to the speaker attachment portion 621a of the speaker cover 621 from the rear side toward the front. Further, the connection portion 621 c of the speaker cover 621 is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees so that the lower end coincides with the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43 a of the curtain plate rear member 43 in the outer frame lower assembly 40 of the outer frame 2. . The body frame speaker 622 is a cone-type speaker that mainly outputs bass sounds.

  The speaker box 623 is formed in a container shape that is open forward, and the rear part of the main body frame speaker 622 protrudes most backward, and as it goes to the right in the front view, it goes backward in a staircase shape. The protrusion is formed so as to be small. As a result, a sufficient space behind the right side of the front center of the speaker box 623 can be secured, and the base unit 620b, the power supply unit 620c, and the like can be arranged. The speaker box 623 is formed so as to cover (close) the entire rear surface of the speaker cover 621 excluding the connection portion 621c.

  The speaker unit 620 a forms a part of an enclosure 624 that encloses a sound output from the main body frame speaker 622 with the speaker cover 621 and the speaker box 623. The enclosure 624 has a space front recess 621b that bulges forward to the right of the speaker mounting portion 621a in the speaker cover 621, so that the speaker box 623 protrudes rearward as it goes to the right. Even if it is formed in a staircase shape so as to reduce the amount, a space on the right side of the main body frame speaker 622 is sufficiently wide.

  When the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the speaker unit 620 a is connected to the connection cylinder portion 43 a so that the connection portion 621 c of the speaker cover 621 sandwiches the seal member 48, and the rear of the main body frame speaker 622.

  When the fourth LED group 2630d of the front light guide plate decoration board 2640 is caused to emit light, light enters the light guide plate main body 2611 from the fourth specific light incident portion 2612d, is reflected to the front by the fourth reflection concave portion 2613d, and the remaining second Since the one reflecting recess 2613a, the second reflecting recess 2613b, and the third reflecting recess 2613c are reflected to other than the front, only the fourth reflecting recess 2613d appears to shine from the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1, A fourth pattern 2614d composed of a plurality of fourth reflective recesses 2613d can emit light (see FIG. 104 (d)).

  As described above, since the plurality of patterns 2614 arranged concentrically can each emit light, the plurality of LEDs 2630 are divided into the first LED group 2630a, the second LED group 2630b, the third LED group 2630c, and the fourth. When the LED group 2630d is made to emit light in the order, the first picture 2614a, the second picture 2614b, the third picture 2614c, and the fourth picture 2614d can be made to emit light in this order, and there is a movement that spreads outward from the center. A lighting effect such as animation can be performed.

  On the other hand, when the plurality of LEDs 2630 are caused to emit light in the order of the fourth LED group 2630d, the third LED group 2630c, the second LED group 2630b, and the first LED group 2630a, the fourth pattern 2614d, the third pattern 2614c, Light can be emitted in the order of the pattern 2614b and the first pattern 2614a, and a light-emitting effect such as an animation with a movement that concentrates from the outside toward the center can be performed.

  Thus, according to the front effect unit 2600, a single front light guide plate 2610 can emit a plurality (three or more) of different pictures 2614, so that each picture can be displayed for animation display or the like. There is no need to provide a plurality of light guide plates, and the thickness in the front-rear direction can be made as thin as possible. Further, since the front light guide plate 2610 is attached to the center accessory 2500, the front light guide plate 2610 can be positioned as close as possible to the player side, and a wide space is provided on the rear side of the front light guide plate 2610. It can be easily secured. Therefore, since a wide space can be secured on the rear side of the front light guide plate 2610, the lower movable effect unit 3100, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, and the like are provided on the rear side of the front light guide plate 2610. The pachinko machine 1 with a high appeal to the player by improving the appearance in the game area 5a can be arranged, and in addition to the effect by the light-emitting display of the pattern 2614, the lower movable effect Various effects can be provided to the player by performing the movable effects by the unit 3100, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, etc., and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest. be able to.

  In addition, the front light guide plate 2610 causes a plurality of translucent patterns 2614 due to the point light emission of the plurality of reflective recesses 2613 to emerge in front of the effect unit, the decorative body, and the effect display device 1600 as shown in FIG. Because it can show a light-emitting decoration that moves like an animation, it can have a strong impact on players familiar with light-emitting effects using conventional light guide plates, and it can surprise and entertain players, It is possible to make the player think that there is something good, and it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the game and suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, since only the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 can see the light emission display of the pattern 2614 by the front light guide plate 2610 well, other players away from the front can see the pattern 2614. The light-emitting display becomes difficult to see, it can be difficult for other players to notice that an effect using the front light guide plate 2610 is performed, and other players can be prevented from paying attention. In addition to being able to play, the game can be performed without worrying about other players, and the game can be enjoyed to prevent a decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the front light guide plate 2610 is attached so as to be sandwiched between the fixed recesses 2621 of the reflector 2620, the plurality of LEDs 2630 attached to the front light guide plate decoration board 2640 are reliably positioned with respect to the upper surface of the front light guide plate 2610. can do. Thereby, each LED 2630 (the 1st LED group 2630a, the 2nd LED group 2630b, the 3rd LED group 2630c, the 4th LED group 2630d) is arrange | positioned in the position corresponding to each specific light-incidence part 2612 of the front light-guide plate 2610. Therefore, the light from each LED 2630 can be reflected frontward by the corresponding reflection recess 2613, and the corresponding pattern 2614 can be reliably emitted.

  Furthermore, since the front light guide plate 2610 is attached within the frame of the center accessory 2500 in which the center accessory 2500 is attached in the center of the front view game area 5a, even if the pattern 2614 is displayed by the LED 2630, the light emission is displayed. The displayed pattern 2614 does not hinder the game in the game area 5a, and the area where the game is actually played can be viewed in a good state from the player side, making it difficult to see the game. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrust and entertain the game in a good state.

  Further, since the light guide plate main body 2611 of the front light guide plate 2610 is fitted into the fixed concave portion 2621 of the reflector 2620, the front light guide plate 2610 and the reflector 2620 are compared with the case where the light guide plate main body 2611 is attached by two members as in the prior art. Can be eliminated, and a plurality of LEDs 2630 can be reliably positioned at desired positions with respect to the front light guide plate 2610. Therefore, since the LED 2630 can be reliably positioned with respect to the specific light incident portion 2612 of the front light guide plate 2610, the corresponding specific light incident portion 2612 can be reliably irradiated with light from the LED 2630, and only the intended pattern 2614 can be irradiated. It is possible to reliably display the light emission.

  Furthermore, since the plurality of specific light incident portions 2612 are arranged only on the upper side of the light guide plate main body 2611, the front cover 2650 (the reflector 2620 and the plurality of LEDs 2630) is arranged only on the upper side of the light guide plate main body 2611. Compared to the case where the front cover 2650 (the reflector 2620 and the plurality of LEDs 2630) does not surround the outer periphery of the light guide plate main body 2611 and the front cover (frame body) is provided over the entire periphery of the light guide plate main body 2611. It is possible to avoid partitioning the effect image and decorative body of the effect display device 1600 arranged in the player, so that the effect image can be easily seen from the player side, and the effect image can be displayed to the player. It is possible to entertain in a good state and suppress a decrease in interest, and there is no frame-like partition in the game area 5a in front view. In a feeling of opening may be a pachinko machine 1, can be assumed to be appealing is strongly attracted the attention of a player to improve the appearance of the game area 5a.

  Further, since the front light guide plate 2610 is attached to the frame-shaped center accessory 2500, the peripheral edge of the front light guide plate 2610 (reflector 2620) is made by matching the peripheral edge of the front light guide plate 2610 with the frame of the center accessory 2500. Or a plurality of LEDs 2630) from the player side, making it difficult for the player to notice the presence of the front light guide plate 2610. It is possible to give a strong impact to a player who thought that 2610 did not exist and to surprise the player with light emission display of a plurality of patterns 2614 by the front light guide plate 2610 and to suppress a decrease in interest. it can.

  Further, since the front cover 2650 prevents the plurality of LEDs 2630 and the reflector 2620 from being seen from the player side, it is possible to prevent the appearance in the game area 5a from being deteriorated by seeing the reflector 2620 and the like. The appearance in the game area 5a can be improved, the appeal to the player can be enhanced, and the pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as the pachinko machine to be played. It is possible to entertain the game and suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, since the plurality of LEDs 2630 are not seen from the player side by the front cover 2650, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the presence of the front light guide plate 2610 using the plurality of LEDs 2630, and thus the LED 2630. The display 2614 of the front light guide plate 2610 is displayed in a light-emitting manner, so that the player can be greatly surprised by the light-emitting display that the player has not predicted, and the player 26 can enjoy the light-emitting display of the pattern 2614. It is possible to think that there is something good for the game, and it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the game and suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, since the effect display device 1600 capable of displaying an effect image behind the front light guide plate 2610 is provided, a light emission display of a plurality of different patterns 2614 by the front light guide plate 2610, and an effect image by the effect display device 1600 Since it is possible to show the player a combined effect, various effects can be performed by appropriately combining them, and it is possible to make the player hard to get tired, and the front light guide plate 2610 and the effect display device 1600 It is possible to entertain the player by directing and to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, since the effect display device 1600 is arranged behind the front light guide plate 2610, the distance from the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 to the front light guide plate 2610, the distance to the effect display device 1600, Therefore, by displaying the effect image related to the plurality of patterns 2614 displayed and emitted on the front light guide plate 2610, it is possible to add a sense of depth and a three-dimensional appearance to the displayed pattern 2614. An effect (display effect) that can strongly attract the player's interest can be shown to the player, and the player can be entertained to suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

  In the above-described embodiment, the reflective concave portion 2613 is shown as having a triangular cross-section and extending uniformly. May be a polygonal and constant extension, a curved cross-section and a constant extension, and the like.

  Further, the LED 2630 may be a single color or a full color. Also, the number of the patterns 2614 may be four or more, and the number of the specific light incident portions, the reflective recesses, and the LED groups can be appropriately selected according to the number of the patterns 2614.

[5-8-3. Storage ball production unit]
Next, the stored ball effect unit 3400 that is attached and fixed to the lower right front surface of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 105 to 109. 105 is an exploded perspective view as seen from the front side of the storage ball effect unit, FIG. 106 is an exploded perspective view as seen from the back side of the storage ball effect unit, and FIG. 107 is various sectional views of the storage ball effect unit. FIG. 108 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the stored ball effect unit, and FIG. 109 is a diagram for explaining the ball path. Here, first, the configuration of the stored ball effect unit 3400 will be described, and then the operation of the stored ball effect unit 3400 will be described. 108 and 109, the transparent cover body of the stored ball effect unit 3400 is omitted.

[5-8-3a. Configuration of storage ball production unit]
As shown in FIGS. 105 and 106, the storage ball effect unit 3400 receives and stores game balls that pass through the box-shaped ball receiving portion 3410 and the ball passage 3405 that have an arc-shaped ball passage 3405 and open at the front. A box-shaped sphere storage unit 3420 having a storage space 3415 that can be opened and a front opening, and a discharge space 3422 that can receive and discharge game balls stored in the sphere storage unit 3420 and open in the front-rear direction. The base body 3430 in which the hollow quadrangular prism-shaped sphere discharge portion 3425 is formed and the cover body 3435 attached so as to cover the entire front surface of the base body 3430 are mainly configured. The base body 3430 and the cover body 3435 are molded from a transparent resin.

  The base body 3430 has a sphere receiving portion 3410 disposed above the sphere storing portion 3420 around the sphere storing portion 3420 as viewed from the front, and the sphere storing portion 3420 and the sphere receiving portion 3410 communicate with each other. A sphere discharge unit 3425 is disposed on the left side of the receiving unit 3410, and the sphere storage unit 3420 and the sphere discharge unit 3425 are configured to communicate with each other. Base body 3430 is formed such that the opening-side surface of sphere receiving portion 3410, the opening-side surface of sphere storage portion 3420, and the front surface of sphere discharge portion 3425 are arranged in the same plane. Thus, in a state where the base body 3430 is covered with the cover body 3435, the gap is formed so as not to be in close contact with the back surface of the cover body 3435.

  In a state where the storage ball effect unit 3400 is attached and fixed to the lower right front surface of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100, the entire rear surface of the ball receiving portion 3410 of the base body 3430 is in close contact with the front surface of the panel plate 1110. The rear surface of the sphere storage portion 3420 of the base body 3430 and the rear surface of the panel plate 1110 are arranged in the same plane, and about half the depth distance dimension of the sphere discharge portion 3425 of the base body 3430 is in contact. It is comprised so that it may arrange | position in the state which protrudes toward the depth direction from the rear surface of the panel board 1110. FIG.

  The ball receiving portion 3410 of the base body 3430 has a pair of bent passage walls 3440 projecting forward from the bottom surface of the ball receiving portion 3410 in an arc shape with a space slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball. A spherical passage 3405 is formed. An upstream end and a downstream end of an arc-shaped spherical passage 3405 formed by the pair of bent passage walls 3440 are configured as a spherical receiving port 3405a and a spherical outlet 3405b, respectively. Of the pair of bent passage walls 3440, a notch 3445 is formed near the middle upper portion of the right bent passage wall 3440 as viewed from the front, and the ball distribution portion 3450 is formed in the middle of the ball receiving portion 3410. A ball distribution space 3455 that can move in the left-right direction is formed.

  On the bottom surface of the ball receiving portion 3410 corresponding to the ball distribution space 3455, a ball distribution portion 3450 molded from a colored resin (white resin in the present embodiment) is provided in the ball distribution space 3455 from the rear. A long hole 3460 is formed so as not to hinder the movement of the ball sorting portion 3450 in the left-right direction. The lower right side of the ball distribution space 3455 and the lower right side of the ball receiving portion 3410 communicate with the ball storage portion 3420 of the base body 3430.

  When viewed from the front, the ball allocating portion 3450 is formed in a triangular prism-shaped portion having a length corresponding to the depth distance dimension of the ball allocating space 3455 and is cylindrical from the rear surface of the triangular prism toward the rear (depth direction). Is formed. In a state where the ball sorting unit 3450 is arranged at the right end when viewed from the front, a game ball passing through the ball passage 3405 collides with the left slope of the triangular prism. In such a state, the game ball passing through the ball passage 3405 is guided to the downstream side of the ball passage 3405 as it is. On the other hand, when the ball sorting unit 3450 is disposed at the left end when viewed from the front, the game ball passing through the ball passage 3405 collides with the right slope of the triangular prism. In such a state, when a game ball passing through the ball passage 3405 collides, the ball storage unit 3420 is guided.

  The ball sorting unit 3450 is operated by a mechanism device (not shown). This mechanism device (not shown) includes a ball distribution solenoid 3462 controlled by the main control board 1310 of the main control unit 1300 and a ball distribution (not shown) connected to a cylindrical portion of the ball distribution unit 3450. Part drive mechanism. When the ball distribution solenoid 3462 is energized and driven by the main control board 1310 of the main control unit 1300, an urging force (that is, a compression spring) by which the plunger of the ball distribution solenoid 3462 is inserted into itself (that is, By moving from the state of moving forward against the restoring force by the compression spring) to the state of moving backward, this straight movement is transmitted to the ball allocating unit 3450 via the ball allocating unit drive mechanism, and the ball allocating unit 3450 is The operating position can be the leftmost position when viewed from the front. On the other hand, when the state where the ball distribution solenoid 3462 is energized and driven by the main control board 1310 of the main control unit 1300 is released, the biasing spring into which the plunger of the ball distribution solenoid 3462 is inserted. By naturally returning from the retracted state to the advanced state due to the urging force (that is, the restoring force by the compression spring) by the (compression spring), this linear motion is converted to the ball distribution unit 3450 via the ball distribution unit drive mechanism. And the ball sorting unit 3450 can be returned to the original position at the right end when viewed from the front.

  It should be noted that the ball sorting solenoid 3462 is not driven when the power is shut off due to a power failure (or when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off by a staff member such as a hall clerk) in a normal state in which no power is supplied. Therefore, the ball sorting unit 3450 is in a state of being placed at the original position. Therefore, if the ball sorting unit 3450 is disposed at the operating position, that is, the game ball passing through the ball passage 3405 collides with the right slope of the triangular prism of the ball sorting unit 3450 and is guided to the ball storage unit 3420. In the state, when a power failure occurs, the game ball passing through the ball passage 3405 collides with the left slope of the triangular prism of the ball sorting unit 3450 as the ball sorting unit 3450 naturally returns to the original position. When the game ball passing through the ball passage 3405 is guided to the downstream side of the ball passage 3405 as it is, the game ball passing through the ball passage 3405 is prevented from being guided to the ball storage unit 3420.

  Of the right bent passage wall 3440, the upper end side of the cutout portion 3445 is connected to the outer wall of the ball receiving portion 3410, and the right bent passage wall 3440 and the left bent passage formed on the upper end side of the cutout portion 3445. By configuring the wall 3440 to be the outer wall of the sphere receiving portion 3410, the sphere receiving portion 3410 is formed in a box shape opening forward.

  The sphere storage unit 3420 of the base body 3430 communicates with the upper right side of the sphere receiving unit 3410 (that is, the lower right side of the ball distribution space 3455) at the upper part thereof, and can be guided to the storage space 3415. A passage 3465 is formed. The storage passage 3465 is formed by the upper part of the right bent passage wall 3440 formed on the lower end side of the notch 3445 of the ball receiving portion 3410 and the inner surface of the right side wall of the ball storage portion 3420, and the storage passage The entrance of 3465 is configured as a general winning opening 2001a with a winning opening. Below the general winning opening 2001a, an attachment groove 3470 for attaching the general winning opening sensor 3001a by inserting it from the front is formed in the storage passage 3465. A wiring outlet 3472 for connecting a wiring (not shown) to the connector of the general prize opening sensor 3001a is formed on the bottom surface of the ball storage unit 3420 at a position corresponding to the connector of the general winning opening sensor 3001a. The connector of the general prize opening sensor 3001a is electrically connected to the main control board 1310 of the main control unit 1300 via a wiring (not shown), and a detection signal from the general prize opening sensor 3001a is input to the main control board 1310. Has been.

  The left side wall of the sphere storage unit 3420 as viewed from the front is configured as a partition wall with the sphere discharge unit 3425 of the base body 3430. A notch 3475 is formed. Further, when viewed from the front, the lower side wall of the sphere storage portion 3420 is approximately halfway along the height of the rib portion 3480 toward the inner side of the sphere storage portion 3420 up to substantially the same horizontal line as the lower end side of the notch 3475. And projecting. The lower side wall of the sphere storage portion 3420 is inclined downward from the near side toward the rear (depth direction), and two sphere passages are formed by the rib portion 3480, and the sphere storage portion 3420 corresponding to the two sphere passages is formed. On the bottom surface, rectangular discharge ports 3485 that can discharge the game balls to the outside without returning them to the game area 5a are formed (see FIGS. 107 (b) and (c)). That is, the two ball passages formed by the rib portion 3480 are configured as a ball discharge passage 3487.

  Further, on the bottom surface of the sphere storage unit 3420, a plate-shaped sphere storage plate that can reciprocate in the front-rear direction (front and depth directions) slightly above the same horizontal line as the lower end side of the notch 3475. A rectangular slot 3495 through which 3490 is inserted is formed. The sphere storage plate 3490 is configured such that, when viewed from the front, the left end has a left inclination that is inclined as compared with the right end, and the left end is disposed at a higher position than the lower end side of the notch 3475. Has been. That is, the sphere storage plate 3490 is configured to be disposed in a state of being inclined downward toward the notch 3475. A part of the above-described mechanism device (not shown) having a guide groove for guiding the left end and the right end of the ball storage plate 3490 is inserted into the elongated hole 3495. The plate-shaped sphere storage plate 3490 is formed by molding with a colored resin (in this embodiment, a red resin).

  This mechanism device (not shown) is mounted on the back side of the ball storage unit 3420 and is in the shape of a column in the ball distribution solenoid 3462 controlled by the main control board 1310 of the main control unit 1300 and the ball distribution unit 3450 described above. In addition to the ball distribution unit drive mechanism (not shown) connected to the formed portion, the storage solenoid 3500 controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 and the ball storage plate 3490 A ball storage plate drive mechanism (not shown) to be connected. When the storage solenoid 3500 is energized and driven by the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500, a biasing force (ie, a compression spring) by a biasing spring (compression spring) through which the plunger of the storage solenoid 3500 is inserted. By moving from the state of moving forward against the restoring force) to the state of moving backward, this straight movement is transmitted to the ball storage plate 3490 via the ball storage plate drive mechanism, and the ball storage plate 3490 is transmitted to the ball storage unit 3420. It can be set as the operation position which inserts inward from the outer side of the bottom surface of the sphere and advances to the vicinity of the opening end of the ball storage portion 3420. On the other hand, when the storage solenoid 3500 is energized and driven by the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500, the biasing spring (compression) in which the plunger of the storage solenoid 3500 is inserted into itself is released. By naturally returning from the retracted state to the advanced state due to the urging force by the spring) (that is, the restoring force by the compression spring), this linear movement is transmitted to the sphere storage plate 3490 via the sphere storage plate drive mechanism, The storage plate 3490 can be returned from the vicinity of the opening end of the sphere storage unit 3420 to the original position where the storage plate 3490 moves backward (in the depth direction) outside the bottom surface of the sphere storage unit 3420.

  In a state where the ball storage plate 3490 is disposed at the operating position where the ball storage plate 3490 moves forward to the vicinity of the opening end of the ball storage unit 3420, the game ball passing through the storage passage 3465 can be received and stored on the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490. Accordingly, a space extending from the outlet of the sphere storage unit 3420 to the upper surface of the sphere storage plate 3490 can be formed as the storage space 3415. The storage space 3415 is configured to have a distance dimension in the left-right direction and a distance dimension in the front-rear direction (depth direction) so that only four game balls can be stored in the front-rear left-right direction. A maximum of 12 game balls can be stored in the space 3415. On the other hand, in a state where the ball storage plate 3490 is disposed at the original position where the ball storage plate 3490 moves backward (depth direction) outside the bottom surface of the ball storage unit 3420, the game ball passing through the storage passage 3465 is The board holder 1200 is dropped to the ball discharge passage 3487 on the lower side wall of the ball storage portion 3420 as it is and is not returned to the game area 5a from the discharge port 3485 through the ball discharge passage 3487. It is discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 and can be collected in the island facility of the game hall.

  In this way, by making the storage space 3415 have a large capacity, the number of game balls received by the ball storage plate 3490 increases, and the ball storage plate 3490 becomes “cantilevered”. For this reason, a large load is applied to the mechanism device (not shown) described above. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the ball storage plate 3490 is bent downward by the weight of the game ball stored in the upper portion of the rib portion 3480 that forms the two ball discharge passages 3487, the bottom surface of the ball storage plate 3490 is It is comprised so that it may function as a member to receive.

  The storage solenoid 3500 is not driven when the power is shut off due to a power failure (or when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off by a staff member such as a hall clerk) in a normal state in which power is not supplied. The ball storage plate 3490 is disposed at the original position where it moves backward (in the depth direction) outside the bottom surface of the ball storage unit 3420. For this reason, if a power failure occurs in a state where game balls stored in the storage space 3415 exist, the ball storage plate 3490 is naturally in the original position where it moves backward (in the depth direction) outside the bottom surface of the ball storage unit 3420. Accordingly, the game balls stored on the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490 fall toward the ball discharge passage 3487 on the bottom surface of the ball storage portion 3420 and play through the ball discharge passage 3487 from the discharge port 3485. Without being returned to the area 5a again, it is discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 through the substrate holder 1200 and is collected in the island facility of the game hall.

  As described above, the left side wall of the ball storage unit 3420 is configured as a partition wall with the ball discharge unit 3425 of the base body 3430 as viewed from the front, and the ball storage unit 3420 and the ball discharge unit 3425 are approximately in the middle. A notch 3475 that communicates with each other is formed. The ball discharge portion 3425 of the base body 3430 includes a plate-like ball discharge plate 3505 that can reciprocate in the front-rear direction (forward and depth directions) at positions corresponding to the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the cutout portion 3475. Guide grooves 3510 for guiding are respectively formed. The plate-like sphere discharge plate 3505 can close (close) the notch 3475 and is formed by molding with a colored resin (in this embodiment, a red resin).

  The lower side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425 is inclined downward from the front toward the rear (depth direction), and a circular discharge port 3515 through which the game ball can be discharged to the outside is formed on the downstream side. (See FIGS. 107 (a) and (b)). This downward slope is configured as a ball discharge passage 3520. A guide for receiving a game ball flowing down the ball discharge passage 3520 and guiding the game ball to the discharge port 3515 corresponds to a lower end portion of the notch 3475 upward at the rear end of the lower wall of the ball discharge portion 3425. A groove 3510 is formed and connected at the rear end of the left side wall and the right side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425. A mounting groove 3535 is formed on the outer side surface of the lower side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425, and the storage ball count sensor 3530 is inserted into a position corresponding to the discharge port 3515 from behind. The game ball discharged from the discharge port 3515 passes through the storage ball count sensor 3530 and is discharged to the outside without being returned to the game area 5a again. The connector of the storage ball count sensor 3530 is electrically connected to the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 via a wiring (not shown), and a detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530 is input to the peripheral control board 1510. Has been.

  The upper wall of the ball discharge portion 3425 receives the game ball flowing down from the ball outlet 3405b, which is the downstream end of the arc-shaped ball passage 3405 in the ball receiving portion 3410 described above, and the above-described first big prize opening 2005. Inclined to the left as viewed from the front so as to roll toward the opening / closing plate. This downwardly inclined surface is configured to be arranged in the same plane as the open plate of the first grand prize winning opening 2005.

  On the upper side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425, the upper surface of the upper side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425 (that is, a left-sloped surface arranged on the same plane as the opening plate of the first big prize opening 2005) may be reinforced. A plurality of rib portions 3527 that can be formed are formed in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively, and three spaces are defined. As a result, a space extending from the lower surface of the rib portion 3527 in the left-right direction that defines three spaces to the lower side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425 can be formed as the discharge space 3422.

  Among the three spaces, a storage space LED substrate 3545 on which a plurality of LEDs 3540 (three full-color LEDs in the present embodiment) that brightly illuminate the storage space 3415 is mounted is inserted into the space on the right side when viewed from the front. And a plurality of LEDs 3555 (in this embodiment, five full-color LEDs) that illuminate the discharge space 3422 brightly are mounted in a central space when viewed from the front. A substrate groove 3565 to which the space LED substrate 3560 is inserted and attached is formed.

  An LED driver IC (not shown) is mounted on the opposite surface of the storage space LED board 3545 where the plurality of LEDs 3540 are mounted, and a control signal (serial data) is transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500. A connector 3547 is mounted. When a control signal (serial data) from the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 is input to the connector 3547 via a wiring (not shown), the light is transmitted to an LED driver (not shown) and is emitted based on the control signal (serial data). Lighting control (including gradation lighting) of the plurality of LEDs 3540 is performed (for example, luminance and emission color). Thereby, the number of game balls stored in the storage space 3415 and the stored state can be easily recognized by the player by brightly illuminating the storage space 3415.

  An LED driver IC (not shown) is mounted on the opposite surface of the discharge space LED board 3560 where the plurality of LEDs 3555 are mounted, and a control signal (serial data) is transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500. A connector 3557 is mounted. When a control signal (serial data) from the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 is input to the connector 3557 via a wiring (not shown), it is transmitted to an LED driver (not shown) and is emitted based on the control signal (serial data). Lighting control (including gradation lighting) of the plurality of LEDs 3555 is performed with (for example, luminance and emission color). As a result, when the discharge space 3422 is brightly illuminated, the letters “GET” formed on the cover body 3435 are lifted and can be visually recognized by the player.

  The ball discharge plate 3505 is operated by the mechanism device (not shown) described above. This mechanism device (not shown) is connected to the above-described ball distribution solenoid 3462 controlled by the main control board 1310 of the main control unit 1300 and the part formed in the columnar shape in the ball distribution unit 3450 (not shown). In addition to the ball distribution unit drive mechanism, the storage solenoid 3500 controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500, and the ball storage plate drive mechanism (not shown) connected to the ball storage plate 3490, Furthermore, an opening solenoid 3570 controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 and a ball discharge plate driving mechanism (not shown) connected to the ball discharge plate 3505 are provided. When the opening solenoid 3570 is energized and driven by the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500, the biasing force (ie, the compression spring) by the biasing spring (compression spring) through which the plunger of the opening solenoid 3570 is inserted is inserted. In this state, the linear movement is transmitted to the ball discharge plate 3505 via the ball discharge plate driving mechanism, and the ball discharge plate 3505 is transferred to the notch 3475. It can be set as the operation position which reverse | retreats from the state advanced to the opening end vicinity of the ball | bowl storage part 3420 which closes, and open | releases the notch part 3475. FIG. On the other hand, when the release solenoid 3570 is energized and driven by the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500, the biasing spring (compression) in which the plunger of the release solenoid 3570 is inserted is released. By naturally returning from the retracted state to the advanced state due to the urging force by the spring) (that is, the restoring force by the compression spring), this linear movement is transmitted to the ball discharge plate 3505 via the ball discharge plate drive mechanism, The discharge plate 3505 can be returned from the retracted state where the notch 3475 is opened to the original position where the discharge plate 3505 is advanced to the vicinity of the opening end of the ball reservoir 3420 which closes the notch 3475. Note that a notch 3567 is formed near the rear end of the right side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425 when viewed from the front so as not to hinder the operation of the drive mechanism for the ball discharge plate.

  In a state where the ball discharge plate 3505 is disposed at the original position where the cutout portion 3475 is closed and the ball storage plate 3490 is disposed at an operation position where the ball storage plate 3490 moves forward to the vicinity of the opening end of the ball storage portion 3420, the storage space 3415. In a state where a plurality of game balls are stored, the ball storage plate 3490 is inclined downward toward the notch 3475 as described above, so that Since the ball pressure due to its own weight (hereinafter referred to as “ball pressure of the game ball”) is applied from the storage space 3415 toward the discharge space 3422, the movement of the storage space 3415 in the left-right direction due to the ball pressure of the stored game ball This is restricted by the guide groove 3510 so that the notch 3475 can be prevented from being opened.

  In a state where the ball discharge plate 3505 is disposed at the operating position where the cutout portion 3475 is opened, the storage space 3415 of the ball storage portion 3420 and the discharge space 3422 of the ball discharge portion 3425 are in communication with each other via the cutout portion 3475. Become. When the ball storage plate 3490 is disposed at the operating position where the ball storage plate 3490 moves forward to the vicinity of the opening end of the ball storage unit 3420, the game balls stored on the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490 move from the storage space 3415 toward the discharge space 3422. It flows into the ball discharge passage 3520 on the lower side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425, passes through the ball discharge passage 3520, and returns to the game area 5a through the discharge port 3515 and the storage ball count sensor 3530. Instead, they are discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 through the substrate holder 1200 and can be collected in the island facility of the game hall. On the other hand, in a state where the ball discharge plate 3505 is disposed at the original position where the cutout portion 3475 is closed, the cutout portion 3475 is connected to the storage space 3415 of the ball storage portion 3420 and the discharge space 3422 of the ball discharge portion 3425. It will be in a non-communication state. Accordingly, the state in which the sphere storage plate 3490 is disposed at the operating position where the sphere storage plate 3420 advances to the vicinity of the opening end of the sphere storage portion 3420 or the original position where the sphere storage plate 3490 moves backward to the rear (depth direction) outside the bottom surface of the sphere storage portion 3420. Regardless of the state in which the game ball is placed, the game ball that flows from the storage space 3415 toward the discharge space 3422 can be blocked.

  The opening solenoid 3570 is not driven when the power is shut off due to a power failure (or when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off by a staff member such as a hall clerk) in a normal state in which power is not supplied. In this state, the ball discharge plate 3505 is disposed at the original position where the notch 3475 is closed. For this reason, the state in which the ball discharge plate 3505 is disposed at the operation position where the cutout portion 3475 is opened, that is, the storage space 3415 of the ball storage portion 3420 and the discharge space 3422 of the ball discharge portion 3425 are provided with the cutout portion 3475. When a power failure occurs in the communication state via the storage space 3415 and the ball discharge portion of the ball storage portion 3420, the ball discharge plate 3505 naturally returns to the original position where the cutout portion 3475 is closed. By entering a non-communication state with the discharge space 3422 of 3425 through the notch 3475, a game ball flowing from the storage space 3415 toward the discharge space 3422 is blocked.

  A mechanism device (not shown) is inserted into a plurality of boss holes 3575 formed on the back surface side of the ball storage portion 3420 and is fixed by screws (not shown). Further, the cover body 3435 is formed with through holes 3585 at positions corresponding to the plurality of mounting holes 3580 formed on the front side of the base body 3430, and screws (not shown) are inserted through the through holes 3585 to attach the mounting holes 3580. The cover body 3435 can be fixed to the base body 3430 by being screwed toward the base.

  The base body 3430 is formed with a plurality of panel fixing portions (not shown), and the storage ball effect unit 3400 is inserted from the lower right front surface of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100 toward the rear (depth direction). Mounting and fixing can be performed by inserting a screw (not shown) through a through hole of a panel fixing portion formed on the base body 3430 and screwing it into the panel plate 1110. As a result, the entire rear surface of the ball receiving portion 3410 of the base body 3430 is in close contact with and in contact with the front surface of the panel plate 1110, and the rear surface of the ball storage portion 3420 of the base body 3430 and the rear surface of the panel plate 1110 are flush. And about half of the depth distance dimension of the ball discharge portion 3425 of the base body 3430 is arranged so as to protrude from the rear surface of the panel plate 1110 in the depth direction.

[5-8-3b. Operation of storage ball production unit]
Next, the operation of the stored ball effect unit 3400 will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, first, the conditions under which the stored ball effect unit 3400 starts the effect operation will be briefly described.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the storage ball effect unit 3400 is attached and fixed to the lower right front surface of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100, so that the game is performed when the player is making a right strike. The game balls flowing down the area 5a can be received at the ball receiving port 3405a of the storage ball effect unit 3400.

  As described above, the ball sorting unit 3450 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 operates when the ball distribution solenoid 3462 is controlled by the main control board 1310 of the main control unit 1300, whereas the ball assignment unit 3450 As described above, the 3400 sphere storage plate 3490 and the sphere discharge plate 3505 are operated by controlling the storage solenoid 3500 and the release solenoid 3570 by the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500.

  When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on (including when power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure), the main control board 1310 of the main control unit 1300 receives a predetermined time every time (a predetermined period). Then, after moving the ball sorting unit 3450 from the original position to the operating position, a series of operations of returning from the operating position to the original position again is performed by controlling the ball sorting solenoid 3462. In the present embodiment, 100 game balls are fired (launched) per minute by the launching device 540 toward the game area 5a, and “predetermined time (predetermined period)” When the player is making a right strike, a time is set in which one ball is received (can enter the ball) at the general winning opening 2001a provided in the stored ball effect unit 3400 by launching four balls.

  On the other hand, the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 is capable of producing an effect based on a command from the main control board 1310 and controls the storage solenoid 3500 and the opening solenoid 3570.

  When the command from the main control board 1310 does not convey the establishment of the storage ball effect unit activation condition, the peripheral control board 1510 controls the opening solenoid 3570 to place the ball discharge plate 3505 in the original position and cut it out. While maintaining the state which closes the part 3475, the storage solenoid 3500 is controlled and the state which arrange | positions the ball | bowl storage plate 3490 in an original position is maintained. As a result, the game ball that has passed through the storage passage 3465 is not received by the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490 but falls directly toward the ball discharge passage 3487 on the lower side wall of the ball storage portion 3420, and the ball discharge passage 3487 is It is discharged from the discharge port 3485 to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 through the substrate holder 1200 without being returned to the game area 5a again, and is collected in the island facility of the game hall.

  The peripheral control board 1510 controls the release solenoid 3570 to place the ball discharge plate 3505 in the original position when the command from the main control board 1310 conveys the establishment of the storage ball effect unit activation condition. While maintaining the state which closes the notch part 3475, the storage solenoid 3500 is controlled and the state which arrange | positions the ball | bowl storage plate 3490 from an original position to an operation position is maintained. Thereby, the game ball that has passed through the storage passage 3465 is received by the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490 and stored in the storage space 3415. At this time, since the base body 3430 and the cover body 3435 are formed of a transparent resin as described above, the cover body 3435 is attached to the base body 3430 and fixed in place. A game ball stored in the space 3415 can be visually recognized through the cover body 3435.

  The peripheral control board 1510 maintains this state when the command from the main control board 1310 does not convey the establishment of the storage ball discharge effect execution start condition in the state where the storage ball effect unit activation condition is satisfied. On the other hand, if the command from the main control board 1310 tells the establishment of the storage ball discharge effect execution start condition, the release solenoid 3570 is controlled to place the ball discharge plate 3505 from the original position to the operating position. The state in which the notch 3475 is opened is maintained until a predetermined storage ball discharge time (in the present embodiment, a period until it reaches 10 seconds), and the storage solenoid 3500 is Control is continued and the state which arrange | positions the ball | bowl storage board 3490 in an operating position is maintained. Accordingly, the game ball received on the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490 and stored in the storage space 3415 flows into the discharge space 3422 from the storage space 3415 through the notch 3475 and is formed on the lower wall of the ball discharge unit 3425. It falls toward the ball discharge passage 3520, passes through the ball discharge passage 3520, passes through the discharge port 3515, and then passes through the storage ball count sensor 3530 to return to the game area 5a. It is discharged outside and collected at the island facility in the game hall. At this time, the game balls stored in the storage space 3415 flow into the discharge space 3422 from the storage space 3415 through the notch 3475 and fall toward the ball discharge passage 3520 on the lower side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425. The state of rolling toward the discharge port 3515 through the ball discharge passage 3520 can be visually confirmed through the cover body 3435.

  Then, when the predetermined storage ball discharge time has arrived, the peripheral control board 1510 controls the opening solenoid 3570 to reposition the ball discharge plate 3505 from the operating position to the original position to close the notch 3475. And the state in which the ball storage plate 3490 is continuously arranged at the operating position by controlling the storage solenoid 3500 is maintained. Thereby, the game ball that has passed through the storage passage 3465 is received by the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490 and stored in the storage space 3415.

  In the state where the storage ball effect unit activation condition is established, the peripheral control board 1510 sets the release solenoid 3570 when the command from the main control board 1310 informs the establishment of the storage ball effect unit activation stop condition. Control is performed to maintain the state in which the ball discharge plate 3505 is disposed at the original position to close the notch 3475 and the storage solenoid 3500 is controlled to dispose the ball storage plate 3490 from the operating position to the original position. maintain. As a result, the game ball that has passed through the storage passage 3465 is not received by the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490 but falls directly toward the ball discharge passage 3487 on the lower side wall of the ball storage portion 3420, and the ball discharge passage 3487 is It is discharged from the discharge port 3485 to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 through the substrate holder 1200 without being returned to the game area 5a again, and is collected in the island facility of the game hall. At this time, the game ball that has passed through the storage passage 3465 is not received by the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490, and falls as it is toward the ball discharge passage 3487 on the lower side wall of the ball storage portion 3420. A state of rolling toward the discharge port 3485 through the cover body 3435 can be visually recognized.

  Here, as the “reserved ball effect unit activation condition”, a winning game is executed by winning a 14R hourly big hit by lottery based on the reception of game balls to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004, which will be described later. If you win or win in the short-time state, continue right-handed and win the 14R hourly junior by lottery of the second special symbol based on the acceptance of game balls to the second starting port 2004 A case where the jackpot game is being executed and the peripheral control board 1510 receives a determination result notification command corresponding to each of the lottery results from the main control board 1310 and progresses the presentation can be given. Further, in this embodiment, as will be described later, a big hit is won by lottery based on the reception of game balls to the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004, and the big hit game is continued after the end of the small hit game. May occur. For this reason, as the “reserved ball production unit activation condition”, a game ball that is entered into the first grand prize opening 2005 and distributed to the specific area and the discharge area by the sorting member is received. This can be the case when the peripheral control board 1510 receives a specific area entry command that tells that the specific area sensor 2512a has detected the signal from the main control board 1310 and advances the effect.

  As the “reserved ball discharge effect execution start condition”, a state in which a winning game is executed by winning the 14R hourly jackpot mentioned above (a lottery based on the acceptance of game balls to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004) (Including the case where a big win game is continuously generated after the end of the small hit game, and 2 rounds, 4 rounds, 6 rounds, 8 rounds, 10 rounds, 12 rounds, 14 rounds) For example, the peripheral control board 1510 receives a command for starting an even-numbered round (such as a big hit round start command corresponding to the number of rounds) from the main control board 1310 and proceeds the presentation.

  As the “reserved ball production unit activation stop condition”, the state where the big hit game is executed by winning the 14R hour short jackpot mentioned above (the big hit game is continued after winning the small hit game and the small hit game is ended) In this case, the peripheral control board 1510 receives a command for ending, and the effect is advanced. It should be noted that the state in which the big hit game is executed by winning the short jackpot at 14R (including the state in which the big hit game is continuously executed after winning the small hit game after winning the small hit game) is completed. The command to be performed may be a command for notifying the closed state from the opened state of the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 when the 14th round ends.

  Next, the operation of the stored ball effect unit 3400 controlled by the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510 will be described.

  As described above, when the ball allocating unit 3450 is placed in the original position, the game ball passing through the ball passage 3405 collides with the left slope of the triangular prism and passes through the ball passage 3405. While the game ball is guided to the downstream side of the ball passage 3405 as it is, the game ball passes through the ball passage 3405 on the right slope of the triangular prism when it is in the operation position. Are collided and are guided to the ball storage unit 3420.

  As shown in FIG. 108 (a), the ball sorting unit 3450 is placed in the original position until the predetermined time described above is reached after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on. When the game ball B flowing down the game area 5a when making a right strike is received at the ball receiving port 3405a of the storage ball production unit 3400, the game passing through the ball passage 3405 on the left slope of the triangular prism of the ball sorting unit 3450 Since the ball B collides, the game ball B passing through the ball passage 3405 is guided to the downstream side of the ball passage 3405 as it is and discharged from the ball outlet 3405b to the game area 5a again.

  As shown in FIG. 109, the game ball B discharged from the ball exit 3405b to the game area 5a rolls toward the opening / closing plate of the first big prize opening 2005, so that the player In addition to the formation of the first route AR1 that does not pass through the ball passage 3405 of the storage ball production unit 3400 as a route that flows toward the opening / closing plate of the first grand prize opening 2005 when hitting, A second route AR2 passing through the ball passage 3405 of the ball effect unit 3400 is formed. Since the base body 3430 and the cover body 3435 are formed of a transparent resin as described above, the storage ball effect unit in a state where the cover body 3435 is attached to the base body 3430 and fixed at a predetermined position. A game ball passing through 3400 ball passages 3405 (that is, passing through the second route AR2) can be viewed through the cover body 3435.

  Returning to FIG. 108, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the above-mentioned predetermined time arrives (every predetermined period described above), and as shown in FIG. In the state where 3450 is placed from the original position to the operating position, the game ball B flowing down the game area 5a when the player is making a right turn is a ball receiving port 3405a of the stored ball effect unit 3400. When the game ball B passing through the ball passage 3405 collides with the right slope of the triangular prism of the ball sorting unit 3450 and is guided to the ball storage unit 3420, the ball is received in the general winning opening 2001a through the storage passage 3465. (Can enter the ball) and passes through the general winning opening sensor 3001a, and when the storage ball effect unit activation condition is not satisfied, the ball discharge plate 3505 is notched 347. The opening solenoid 3570 is controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 so as to be placed in the original position for closing the ball, and the ball storage plate 3490 is moved backward (in the depth direction) outside the bottom surface of the ball storage unit 3420. The storage solenoid 3500 is controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 so as to be placed in the original position.

  As a result, the game ball that has passed through the storage passage 3465 is not received by the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490, but falls directly toward the ball discharge passage 3487 on the lower side wall of the ball storage portion 3420, and passes through this ball discharge passage 3487. Thus, without being returned again to the game area 5a from the discharge port 3485, it is discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 through the substrate holder 1200 and collected in the island facility of the game hall. When detecting the passing of the game ball B to itself, the general winning opening sensor 3001a outputs a detection signal to the main control board 1310. The main control board 1310 transmits to the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 as a command (a specific general prize opening ball entering command described later) that the game ball B has been received (entered) into the general winning port 2001a. . At this time, the main control board 1310 transmits to the payout control board 633 that the game ball B has been accepted (entered) into the general winning opening 2001a as the above-mentioned payout command.

  On the other hand, when the storage ball effect unit activation condition is satisfied, the opening solenoid 3570 is controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 so that the ball discharge plate 3505 is placed at the original position where the notch 3475 is closed. At the same time, the storage solenoid 3500 is controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 so that the ball storage plate 3490 is disposed at the operating position where the ball storage plate 3490 moves forward to the vicinity of the opening end of the ball storage unit 3420.

  As a result, the game ball passing through the storage passage 3465 is received by the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490 and stored in the storage space 3415. This state is maintained when the storage ball effect unit activation stop condition is not satisfied.

  When the storage ball effect unit activation stop condition is satisfied in the state where the storage ball effect unit activation condition is satisfied, the operation position where the ball discharge plate 3505 opens the notch 3475 as shown in FIG.

  The upper rear right unit 3230 is attached to the lower end of the right slider 3232 and is attached to the rear side of the upper rear right decorative body 3240 and the flat upper rear right decorative body 3240 extending left and right. And an upper rear right decorative board on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted. The upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be decorated with light emission by causing a plurality of LEDs on the upper rear right decorative board to emit light.

  The upper rear right unit 3230 can raise and lower the upper rear right decorative body 3240 via the rack gear 3233 by driving the upper rear right drive motor 3234.

  The clutch mechanism 3250 has a cylindrical storage case 3251 and a plurality of protrusions 3252a extending radially near the inner surface of the storage case 3251 in the storage case 3251, and the upper rear left drive motor 3214 or the upper An input member 3252 to which the rotation shaft of the rear right drive motor 3234 is attached, and a plurality of transmission grooves 3253a inserted in the housing case 3251 with the protrusions 3252a of the input member 3252 having a gap in the circumferential direction, A plurality of cam surfaces 3253b formed so as to be narrower from the inner surface of the housing case 3251 and the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 projecting from the housing case 3251. An output member 325 having an output shaft 3253c to which is attached A plurality of rollers 3254 inserted between the plurality of cam surfaces 3253b of the output member 3253 and the inner surface of the housing case 3251; a tightening spring 3255 for tightening the housing case 3251 from the outside; a housing case 3251; The main body housing 3256 attached to the left base 3211 or the right base 3231 and the housing concave portion 3256a of the main body housing 3256 are closed, and the output of the output member 3253 is provided. A lid member 3257 through which the shaft 3253c passes, and a bearing 3258 attached to the lid member 3257 and through which the output shaft 3253c is inserted (see FIGS. 119 (a) to (c)).

  In the clutch mechanism 3250, when the input member 3252 is rotated by the upper rear left drive motor 3214 or the upper rear right drive motor 3234, the plurality of protrusions 3252 a of the input member 3252 are arranged at the circumferential ends of the transmission grooves 3253 a of the output member 3253. The output member 3253 rotates in contact with the output member 3253, and the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 attached to the output shaft 3253c of the output member 3253 rotates. That is, the clutch mechanism 3250 can transmit the rotation from the upper rear left drive motor 3214 or the upper rear right drive motor 3234 to the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 as it is.

  Further, when the clutch mechanism 3250 rotates the output member 3253 from the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 side via the output shaft 3253c, the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253 moves in the direction of the protruding portion 3252a of the input member 3252. Therefore, the space between the cam surface 3253b and the inner surface of the housing case 3251 is narrowed, and the roller 3254 is caught between them. As a result, the rotation of the output member 3253 is blocked, the rotation of the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 is locked, and the rotation from the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 side is caused by the upper rear via the input member 3252. There is no transmission to the left drive motor 3214 or the upper rear right drive motor 3234 side. Therefore, even if a force for moving the upper rear left decorative body 3220 or the upper rear right decorative body 3240 downward acts due to gravity, the clutch mechanism 3250 causes the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 to be driven via the output member 3253. Since the rotation is locked, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 do not move downward arbitrarily, and a load is applied to the upper rear left drive motor 3214 or the upper rear right drive motor 3234. Instead, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be stopped at an arbitrary position.

  In the clutch mechanism 3250 of this embodiment, the housing case 3251 is tightened from the outer peripheral side by a tightening spring 3255 made of a coil spring, and the tightening spring 3255 and the housing case 3251 are housed in the housing recess 3256a of the main body housing 3256. Therefore, when the rotational load (torque) applied to the output member 3253 from the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 via the output shaft 3253c becomes larger than a predetermined value, the tightening force (biasing force) of the tightening spring 3255 is increased. ), The circumferential end of the transmission groove 3253a of the output member 3253 abuts on the protrusion 3252a of the input member 3252, and the rotation is transmitted to the input member 3252. As a result, when the output member 3253 is rotated with a strong force from the output side, a slip occurs between the tightening spring 3255 tightening the storage case 3251 and the storage case 3251, and the rotational force is applied to the upper rear left. Since it can be transmitted to the drive motor 3214 side and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 side to be released, the roller 3254 is strongly bitten and cannot be unlocked, or the output member 3253 and the housing case 3251 are damaged. Can be prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 119 (d), the clutch mechanism 3250 inserts two rollers 3254 between the protrusions 3252 a between the inner surface of the housing case 3251 and the cam surface 3253 b, and two rollers 3254. Each may be urged by the lock spring 3260 toward the projecting portion 3252a close thereto. Thus, when a force is applied to rotate the output member 3253 from the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side, the roller 3254 is immediately moved to the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253 and the housing case 3251. The rotation (rotation angle) of the output member 3253 from when the rotation from the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side is applied to when the lock is applied can be inserted between the inner surface and the inner surface. It can be reduced as much as possible.

  Next, an effect using the upper rear movable effect unit 3200 will be described. In the normal state, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200 is located above the effect display device 1600 and behind the upper front movable effect unit 3300, as shown in FIG. The upper rear right decorative body 3240 is in a state invisible from the player side. In this normal state, the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 are not driven. However, as described above, the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 The rotation of the drive gear 3215 and the drive gear 3235 is locked via the output member 3253 by the clutch mechanism 3250 interposed between the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240. The rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 do not move downward without permission.

  Accordingly, in order to prevent the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 from moving downward, the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 are continuously driven or moved downward. It is not necessary to provide an electric lock mechanism for preventing the movement, and the configuration related to the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified. Further, since the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be prevented from moving without permission due to the presence of the clutch mechanism 3250, the game board 5 is being transported or attached to the island facility of the game hall. The upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 remain in the original state at the time of shipment even when vibration or acceleration is applied, and unnecessary origin adjustment is not necessary. It is possible to reduce the labor involved in installing the game board 5 and to suppress an increase in the burden on the game hall side.

  In this normal state, depending on the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result drawn by receiving the game ball B in the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004, the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and When the upper rear right drive motor 3234 is driven, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are moved obliquely downward toward the center via the clutch mechanism 3250, respectively. And the left end of the upper rear right decorative body 3240 come into contact with each other to form one large decorative body (see FIG. 117). As a result, a large decorative body extending left and right appears in the upper front portion of the effect display device 1600, so that the player can be surprised, and the player can be entertained to suppress a decrease in interest.

  Thus, according to the upper rear movable rendering unit 3200 of the present embodiment, the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234, the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 (the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right Since the clutch mechanism 3250 is provided between the decorative body 3240 and the decorative body 3240), vibrations from the rendering operation unit 301 and other movable decorative bodies that can be operated by the player, the left slider 3212, the right slider 3232, and the upper part Even if the output member 3253 on the output side of the clutch mechanism 3250 tries to rotate because the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 are about to descend due to gravity acting on the rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240, the output The roller 3254 is moved to the inner surface of the housing case 3251 by the cam surface 3253b of the member 3253. As a result, the roller 3254 is engaged between the inner surface of the housing case 3251 and the cam surface 3253b, and the upper side from the output member 3253 side (upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and upper rear right decorative body 3240 side). Since transmission of rotation to the rear left drive motor 3214 side and upper rear right drive motor 3234 side is interrupted and rotation of the output member 3253 is locked, the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 are arbitrarily lowered. The upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be prevented from unexpectedly moving (falling) via the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232, and the upper The rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 cause untrustworthiness to the player due to unintended movement. The can be avoided, it is possible to suppress the reduction of interest to delight movement of the upper left rear decorative body 3220 and the upper right rear decorative body 3240 to the player.

  In addition, as described above, the rotation of the output member 3253 can be restricted and locked by the clutch mechanism 3250 even if the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side are about to be lowered. Since the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be stopped at an arbitrary height position via the right slider 3232, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are various. A variety of performance patterns that stop moving up and down at the position can be shown to the player, and it is difficult for the player to get bored with the movable effects of the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240, thereby suppressing a decrease in interest. Can be made.

  Since the clutch mechanism 3250 is provided, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be stopped at any position in the vertical direction via the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 even if the upper rear left decorative body 3240 is stopped.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 119 (d), two rollers 3254 are inserted between the protrusions 3252a between the inner surface of the housing case 3251 and the cam surface 3253b, and the two rollers 3254 are respectively moved by lock springs 3260. When urging to the projecting portion 3252a side close to each, when a force is applied to rotate the output member 3253 from the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side, the roller 3254 is immediately applied. Can be engaged between the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253 and the inner surface of the housing case 3251, and the lock is applied after the rotation from the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side acts. The rotation of the output member 3253 until this can be reduced as much as possible. Thus, when the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 are moved downward by the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234, the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 are smoothly lowered without being jerky. Therefore, the player does not feel uncomfortable with the movement of the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240, and enjoys the movable performance by the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are moved downward to bring the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 into contact with each other. Since the upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be combined to form a large decorative body, the combined appearance of a large decorative body can have a strong impact on the player, making the player enjoyable And the appearance of a large decorative body can make it seem that an advantageous gaming state (for example, a “hit game”) that would be advantageous to the player may occur, and expectation of the game A feeling can be raised and the fall of interest can be suppressed. When the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are brought into contact with each other and joined together, the upper upper right decorative body 3240 or the upper rear left decorative body 3220 on the other side is moved by contacting each other. However, since each has the clutch mechanism 3250, the force to move the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 (from the output side to rotate). Force 3), the roller 3254 is engaged between the cam surface 3253 b of the output member 3253 and the inner surface of the housing case 3251 to lock the movement of the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240. The upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be prevented from moving due to contact between the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear left decorative body 3240. The decoration body 3220 and the upper rear right decoration body 3240 can also be prevented from returning, and the player can surely entertain a movable effect in which the upper rear left decoration body 3220 and the upper rear right decoration body 3240 come together. A decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  Further, in the clutch mechanism 3250, the housing case 3251 is tightened by the tightening spring 3255, and the tightening spring 3255 and the housing case 3251 are housed in the housing recess 3256a of the main body housing 3256. The roller 3254 is rotated against the inner surface of the housing case 3251 by the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253, and the roller 3254 is engaged between the inner surface of the housing case 3251 and the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253. Thus, when a force for rotating the housing case 3251 is applied via the plurality of rollers 3254, a force (torque) for rotating the housing case 3251 is a frictional resistance due to the tightening force of the tightening spring 3255. Is larger between the housing case 3251 and the clamping spring 3255. Rigashoji, the accommodating case 3251 is able to rotate. Then, by rotating the housing case 3251, the output member 3253 rotates through the plurality of rollers 3254, the circumferential end of the transmission groove 3253 a of the output member 3253 abuts on the protruding portion 3252 a of the input member 3252, The rotation is transmitted to the input member 3252. As a result, when the output member 3253 is rotated with a strong force from the output side, a slip occurs between the tightening spring 3255 tightening the storage case 3251 and the storage case 3251, and the rotational force is applied to the upper rear left. Since it can be transmitted to the drive motor 3214 side and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 side to be released, the roller 3254 is strongly bitten and cannot be unlocked, or the output member 3253 and the housing case 3251 are damaged. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 that reliably achieves the above-described effects can be realized.

  When various substrates such as the peripheral control substrate 1510, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are attached and fixed at predetermined positions on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a, as described above, the surfaces (covers) of the various substrates are covered. A space having a distance of a predetermined height (14.8 mm in this embodiment) is formed between the back surface of the flat plate 1501a and the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a. The LEDML1 to LEDML4 provided on the surface of the peripheral control board 1510 are turned on so that the space thus formed can be illuminated brightly.

The connectors CN1 to CN7 and the connectors CN8 to CN10 provided on the liquid crystal output board 1530 are completely different in structure. Each of these connectors CN1 to CN10 is a socket, and the socket and the plug are fitted by inserting and pushing the plug of the corresponding connector in the vertical direction with respect to the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530. When the sockets of the connectors CN1 to CN10 are fitted, there is no amount of movement in the vertical direction when the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are viewed from the front.

  Special connectors SCN1 and SCN2 provided on peripheral control board 1510 are plugs, respectively. Special connector SCN3 provided on peripheral data ROM board 1520 and special connector SCN4 provided on liquid crystal output board 1530 are sockets.

  The socket of the special connector SCN3 provided on the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN1 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 and pushed in, so that the socket and the plug are fitted. When the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided on the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is fitted, the socket is viewed in the front-rear direction (the back and front of the pachinko machine 1 and the front side) when the peripheral data ROM board 1520 (peripheral control board 1510) is viewed from the front. It is a structure provided with a floating mechanism that can absorb an error in the front-rear direction that occurs when pushing in by moving a predetermined distance range in the direction of Note that the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided on the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is the peripheral data ROM board 1520 in a state where the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is attached and fixed at a predetermined position on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. Even when the (peripheral control board 1510) is moved as much as possible within the above-mentioned predetermined distance range when viewed from the front, the front (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN3 does not contact the rear surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. In addition, a gap is formed between the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN3 and the rear surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501.

  The socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the liquid crystal output board 1530 is inserted into and inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 so that the socket and the plug are fitted. When the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the liquid crystal output board 1530 is fitted, the socket is viewed in the front-rear direction when the liquid crystal output board 1530 (peripheral control board 1510) is viewed from the front (the direction between the back and front of the pachinko machine 1). It has a structure provided with a floating mechanism that can absorb an error in the front-rear direction that occurs when pushing in by moving a predetermined distance range toward). The socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the liquid crystal output board 1530 is the liquid crystal output board 1530 (peripheral control) in a state where the liquid crystal output board 1530 is attached and fixed at a predetermined position on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. Even if the board 1510) is moved as much as possible within the above-mentioned predetermined distance range when viewed from the front, the special front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN4 is not contacted with the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. A gap is formed between the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of connector SCN4 and the back surface of cover flat plate 1501a of cover body 1501.

  Here, the reason why the special connector SCN3 is adopted as the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the special connector SCN4 is adopted as the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 will be briefly described. The peripheral data ROM board 1520 is provided with a peripheral data ROM 1520a capable of storing various control information (peripheral data) that are controlled by the peripheral control board 1510. Various control information (peripheral data) includes image data such as background images, character images, and design images for rendering various effect images on the effect display device 1600, and various decorative boards provided in the door frame 3 and the game board 5. Light emission data that defines light emission modes (lighting, gradation, blinking, extinguishing, etc.) of a plurality of LEDs mounted on the door, sound data such as music, voice, warning sound, notification sound, door frame 3 and game board 5 The drive data etc. for drive-controlling the various movable production bodies with which it is provided can be mentioned.

  The peripheral data ROM 1520a is a NAND flash (nonvolatile) memory, is cheaper than a NOR flash (nonvolatile) memory, has a large capacity, and can write various data at high speed. The peripheral data ROM 1520a has a low operating voltage, can suppress power consumption, and can realize a high transfer rate by communication conforming to the SATA standard.

  As described above, by adopting the NAND flash (nonvolatile) memory as the peripheral data ROM 1520a, the cost can be reduced and the power consumption can be suppressed, and various stored data can be read out at a high transfer rate. it can. However, although the peripheral data ROM 1520a can suppress power consumption due to its low operating voltage, it is susceptible to noise due to its low operating voltage. In addition, various data stored in the peripheral data ROM 1520a need to be accurately and reliably transmitted from the peripheral data ROM board 1520 to the peripheral control board 1510. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the peripheral control substrate 1510 are electrically connected via wiring (harness) is not adopted, and the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 are not connected. By adopting a configuration in which the control board 1510 is electrically connected by an inter-board connector, the influence of noise entering the inter-board transmission path is reduced.

  Although the procedure for attaching various boards in the internal space of the cover body 1501 will be described later, the peripheral data ROM board 1520 inserts the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided in itself into the plug of the special connector SCN1 provided in the peripheral control board 1510. Since the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 need to be fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510 after being pushed in, the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism is adopted. Thus, a plurality of connection terminals formed on the plug and the socket by absorbing the error in the front-rear direction generated when the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control substrate 1510. Prevent damage to the surroundings The transmission path between the substrate and the control substrate 1510 and the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 can be can be reliably formed.

  Further, as described above, since the cover body 1501 is made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate, the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 may be warped after molding although it is within the design dimension distance tolerance. is there. Even in such a case, by using the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the above-described floating mechanism, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 together with the peripheral control substrate 1510 is fixed to the back side of the warped cover flat plate 1501a. By absorbing the error in the front-rear direction that occurs during the operation, the connection terminals formed in the plug and the socket are prevented from being damaged, and the transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is established. It can be reliably formed.

  The liquid crystal output board 1530 outputs the drawing data of the image to be drawn on the effect display device 1600 transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 from the connector CN10, thereby causing the effect display device 1600 to progress the effect (for example, for the player). An image that tells you that an advantageous big hit gaming state will occur compared to the normal state, an image that tells you that no big hit gaming state will occur, and a state where a big hit gaming state will occur compared to the normal state, although no big hit gaming state will occur This is an important substrate for drawing an image or the like indicating that it is approaching as an image. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately and reliably transmit drawing data of an image drawn on the effect display device 1600 from the peripheral control board 1510 to the liquid crystal output board 1530. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal output board 1530 and the peripheral control board are not used without adopting a configuration in which the liquid crystal output board 1530 and the peripheral control board 1510 are electrically connected via wiring (harness). By adopting a configuration in which 1510 is electrically connected to the inter-board connector, the influence of noise entering the inter-board transmission path is reduced.

  Although the procedure for attaching various boards in the internal space of the cover body 1501 will be described later, the liquid crystal output board 1530 is inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 by inserting the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the liquid crystal output board 1530. Since the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 need to be fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510 after being pushed in, the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism is adopted. Accordingly, the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a to absorb the error in the front-rear direction that occurs when the liquid crystal output board 1530 is pushed. Peripheral control board to prevent damage The transmission path between the substrate 510 and the liquid crystal driving substrate 1530 can be can be reliably formed.

  Further, as described above, since the cover body 1501 is made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate, the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 may be warped after molding although it is within the design dimension distance tolerance. is there. Even in such a case, by adopting the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided with the above-described floating mechanism, the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 together with the peripheral control substrate 1510 is fixed to the back side of the warped cover flat plate 1501a. By absorbing the error in the front-rear direction that occurs at the time, a plurality of connection terminals formed in the plug and the socket are prevented from being damaged, and the transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 is reliably established. Can be formed.

  When the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a, as described above, the back side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520 Since the back surface and the back surface of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are arranged on the same plane, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are arranged on the peripheral control substrate 1510 with respect to the front surface. Since the distance dimension in the front-rear direction (that is, the depth direction) of the peripheral control unit 1500 can be reduced as compared with the case where the three-dimensional arrangement is performed, for example, a large movable effect unit (movable effect body is operated on the game board 5). Electrical drive source and drive mechanism, and various sensors for detecting the origin position and operating position) It can contribute to ensuring the depth direction of the distance dimension for.

[6-4. Peripheral control unit assembly method]
Here, a method for assembling the peripheral control unit 1500 will be described. First, the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided on the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is inserted and pushed into the plug of the special connector SCN1 provided on the peripheral control board 1510. Subsequently, the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the liquid crystal output board 1530 is inserted and pushed into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided on the peripheral control board 1510.

  Subsequently, in order to attach the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a, through holes 1520r1 and 1520r3 formed in the peripheral data ROM board 1520 are connected to the cover flat plate 1501a. Inserted into the mounting boss protrusions 1501ai1 and 1501ai2 formed on the back side, and through holes 1530r2 and 1530r4 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, the mounting boss protrusions 1501an1 and 1501an2 formed on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a. Insert into. Accordingly, the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 have an arrangement corresponding to the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes formed in the peripheral data ROM board 1520 are formed. The holes 1520r2 and 1520r4 are arranged corresponding to the mounting boss holes 1501ah1 and 1501ah2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes 1530r1 and 1530r3 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. This is an arrangement corresponding to the mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2.

  Subsequently, a metal pan screw (not shown) is inserted into the through holes 1520r2 and 1520r4 formed in the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and screwed toward the mounting boss holes 1501ah1 and 1501ah2 formed on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and a metal pan screw (not shown) is inserted into the through holes 1530r1 and 1530r3 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 to form on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a by screwing it toward the mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2.

  Subsequently, the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 are arranged so as to match the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The peripheral control board 1510 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by inserting a steel pan screw and screwing it toward the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4. Thus, of the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, and the peripheral control substrate 1510, the peripheral control substrate 1510 is finally fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a.

  The peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is inserted into mounting boss protrusions 1501ai1 and 1501ai2 formed on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a, thereby restraining movement in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is connected to the cover flat plate 1501a. While the movement in the vertical and horizontal directions is restrained by being inserted into the mounting boss protrusions 1501an1 and 1501an2 formed on the back side, the peripheral control board 1510 has a mounting boss for restraining the vertical and horizontal directions. The protrusion is not formed on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a. This is because the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a to restrict the vertical and horizontal directions, and the dimensional error due to such restriction is applied to the peripheral control substrate 1510. When fixing to the back surface side of 1501a, absorption is performed by the respective dimensional tolerances in the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 and the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed in the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. Can be done.

  Subsequently, in a state where the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, and the peripheral control substrate 1510 are fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the plate-shaped guide portions 1501ca and 1501cb formed on the cover body 1501 are The base body 1502 is inserted into the guide receiving portions 1502caa and 1502cab formed on the engaging portion 1502ca of the base body 1502, and the L-shaped flange portions 1501cca and 1501cda of the hinge hanging portions 1501cc and 1501cd formed on the cover body 1501 are attached to the base body. Inserted into U-shaped bag-shaped bag portions 1502 cae and 1502 caf of hinge receiving portions 1502 cac and 1502 cad formed in the engaging portion 1502 ca of 1502.

  Subsequently, the L-shaped flange portions 1501cca and 1501cda of the hinge hook portions 1501cc and 1501cd formed on the cover body 1501 are in contact with the U-shaped bag-shaped bag portions 1502cae and 1502caf of the hinge receiving portions 1502cac and 1502cad. Then, the base body 1502 is wrapped around so as to cover the opening side of the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 is directly covered on the cover body 1501. A metal one-way screw with an anchor rivet inserted is inserted and screwed toward a base-side sealing portion 1502ea formed on the base body 1502. When the metal one-way screw is screwed in, the tip surface of the metal anchor rivet spreads outward at the base-side sealing portion 1502ea, thereby forming the cover-side sealing portion 1501ea formed on the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502. The base side sealing portion 1502ea to be sealed is in a sealed state.

  In such a sealed state, the cover side walls 1501b to 1501e of the cover body 1501 are fitted inside the base side walls 1502b to 1502e of the base body 1502 and inscribed (surface contact). Thereby, since the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 are made of conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate as described above, the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 become conductive. In order to release such a sealed state, the cover side sealing portion 1501ea formed on the cover body 1501 has to be destroyed with a tool. Therefore, by observing the opening and closing traces, it is possible to detect unauthorized opening and closing of the peripheral control board box 1505 constituted by the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502, and deterring power against illegal actions on the peripheral control board box 1505. Has been increased.

  Subsequently, the air cooling fan FAN is pushed into the FAN mounting recess 1501aa formed on the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501, and a plurality of wires from the air cooling fan FAN are drawn from the wiring lead recess 1501ab formed on the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. From the front of the cover flat plate 1501a to the rear, respectively, a lead screw with a metal seat (not shown) having a shape in which a pan head and a flat washer are integrated is screwed into the drawer and mounting holes 1501aac1 and aac2.

  Subsequently, in order to connect a plurality of wirings (harnesses) to the effect display device 1600 to the connector CN10 of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 via the wiring lead-out openings 1501ae formed in the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. The connector is inserted and attached, and the wiring cover body 1503 is fitted into the mounting recess 1501af formed in the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. By inserting metal pan screws (not shown) into through holes 1503b1 and 1503b2 formed in the wiring cover body 1503 and screwing them into the mounting holes 1501afb1 and 1501afb2 from the front to the rear of the wiring cover body 1503, respectively. 1503 is fixed to the mounting recess 1501af. As a result, the plurality of wirings are covered with the wiring cover body 1503 and cannot be touched.

  When the peripheral control unit 1500 assembled in this way is attached to the game panel 1100 provided in the game board 5, the peripheral control unit 1500 is viewed from the front, and the left side of the peripheral control unit 1500 (the base body 1502 of the peripheral control unit 1500). The engagement part 1502ca side formed on the base panel 1502 of the peripheral control unit 1500 is inserted into a mounting groove (not shown) provided in the gaming panel 1100, and a metal pan screw (not shown) is formed in the through holes 1502eb1 and 1502eb2 formed in the base body 1502 of the peripheral control unit 1500. Is fixed by being screwed into a mounting hole (not shown) provided in the game panel 1100.

  In the assembly method described above, in the procedure for attaching various substrates in the internal space of the cover body 1501, for example, first, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is placed at the predetermined position described above on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a of the peripheral control substrate 1510. (The peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is disposed on the upper right side of the cover body 1501 when the cover body 1501 is viewed from the back.) And the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is fixed to the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the peripheral control board 1510. The peripheral data ROM board 1520 is provided with the liquid crystal output board 1520 after being fixed at the above-mentioned predetermined position (the liquid crystal output board 1530 is arranged on the lower right side of the cover body 1501 when the cover body 1501 is viewed from the back). Special connector with socket for special connector SCN3 on peripheral control board 1510 The socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the liquid crystal output board 1530 is inserted and pushed into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided on the peripheral control board 1510, and inserted into the plug of the connector SCN1, and the peripheral control board 1510 is inserted into the predetermined position described above. (The peripheral control board 1510 can be fixed to the left side of the cover body 1501 when the cover body 1501 is viewed from the back). Even in such a procedure for attaching various boards, by adopting the sockets of the special connectors SCN3 and SCN4 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism, it is possible to absorb the error in the front-and-rear direction caused by the pushing-in, so that the plug and socket It is possible to prevent breakage of a plurality of connection terminals formed on the substrate, and to reliably form transmission paths between the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the peripheral control substrate 1510, and to connect the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 to the peripheral A transmission path between the control board 1510 and the board can be reliably formed.

  By the way, there are a plurality of types of game boards attached to the pachinko machines having different game specifications. In this embodiment, various substrates such as the peripheral control substrate 1510, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 can be divided into three parts and attached to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. The peripheral control board 1510 is a board that can be used in common regardless of the game specifications of the game board mounted on the pachinko machine, and the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is stored in the peripheral data ROM 1520a for each game board game specification The peripheral data corresponding to is stored as a board that depends on the game specifications of the game board, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 is a board that depends on the method of the video signal input to the effect display device 1600.

  Accordingly, the peripheral control board 1510 is a board that does not depend on the game specifications of the game board and that does not depend on the method of the video signal input to the effect display device 1600, and is a common board. Therefore, it can be reused (recycled). Further, a peripheral data ROM board 1520 including a peripheral data ROM 1520a in which peripheral data corresponding to each game specification of the game board is stored and a peripheral control board 1510 are electrically connected by the above-described board-to-board connector. Therefore, the peripheral data ROM board 1520 can be easily exchanged according to the game specifications of the game board.

  As described above, there are a plurality of types of video signal systems that are input to a display device such as an effect display device, such as an RGB system, an LVDS system, a MIPI system, an eDP system, and a clockless system. The liquid crystal output board 1530 and the peripheral control board 1510 corresponding to these plural types of systems are electrically connected by the above-described inter-board connector.

[8. Game contents and game characteristics]
The game content and game characteristics of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball B stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 is obtained when the player rotates the handle 182 of the handle unit 180 arranged at the lower right front corner of the door frame 3. However, it passes between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 in the game board 5 and is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a, and the game with the game ball B is started. The game ball B driven into the upper part in the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the driving strength. Note that the driving strength of the game ball B can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle 182. The game ball B can be driven harder as it is rotated in the clockwise direction, and a maximum of 100 game balls B can be continuously per minute. That is, the game ball B can be shot at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

  Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails N are planted on the front surface of the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110) in a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game ball B contacts the obstacle nail N. Thus, the flow velocity of the game ball B is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball B so that the movement can be enjoyed. In addition to the obstacle nail N, a windmill (not shown) that rotates by contact with the game ball B is provided at an appropriate position in the game area 5a.

  When the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front view of the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, The area on the left side of the center actor 2500 will flow down. When the game ball B flowing down the left area of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2501 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, the game ball B is supplied from the warp outlet 2502 to the stage 2503.

  The game ball B supplied to the stage 2503 rolls on the stage 2503 and moves back and forth, and is discharged forward from the center in the left-right direction. When the game ball B is released from the center of the stage 2503 into the game area 5a, the portion is located immediately above the first start port 2002, and therefore is received at the first start port 2002 with a high probability. When the game ball B is received in the first start port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Is done.

  The game ball B released from the stage 2503 of the center accessory 2500 into the game area 5a may be received by the first start port 2002 or the general winning port 2001b of the start port unit 2100.

  By the way, when the game ball B that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2501, the side ball 2200 and the obstacle nail N move toward the center in the left-right direction, and the general winning opening 2001c of the side unit 2200 is obtained. , 2001d, or the first start port 2002 of the start port unit 2100, the general winning port 2001b, or the like. When the game balls B are received in the general winning ports 2001b to 2001d, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls B are transferred from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 to the upper plate 201. To be paid out.

  On the other hand, when the game ball B that has been driven into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500 (so-called right hit). , And is discharged to the upper part of the gate unit 2300 through the right side of the center accessory 2500. The gate unit 2003 of the gate unit 2300 is provided and passes through the gate unit 2003 with a certain probability. Below the gate unit 2300, on the left side of the gate unit 2300, the second starting port 2004 of the center accessory 2500 is arranged, and on the right side of the gate unit 2300, the general winning port 2001a of the stored ball effect unit 3400 is arranged. When the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the storage ball production unit 3400 reciprocates the ball sorting unit 3450 in the left-right direction, so that the game ball received in the storage ball production unit 3400 with a predetermined establishment. While guiding B toward the opening / closing plate of the first grand prize opening 2005, it is guided to the general prize opening 2001a.

  When the right-handed game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310. If the selected lottery result is “normal hit”, the second start port that is closed 2004 is in an open state for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 to 15 seconds), and the game ball B can be received in the second starting port 2004. Then, when the game ball B is received at the second start port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls B are transferred to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Paid out.

  In the present embodiment, in the normal lottery performed when the game ball B passes through the gate part 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the normal lottery until the normal lottery result is suggested (for example, 0 0.08 to 20 seconds, also referred to as normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second start port 2004 is opened after the normal fluctuation time has elapsed.

  In addition, since the game ball B passes the gate part 2003 after the game ball B passes the gate part 2003 until the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of the suggestion of the normal lottery result is put on hold until the suggestion of the previous normal lottery result ends. In addition, the number of hold of the normal lottery result is up to 4 and the upper limit is discarded without being held even if the game ball B passes through the gate part 2003. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating the hold.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the game ball B is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the main control board 1310 has an advantageous game state (for example, “hit”, A lottery of a special lottery result that generates “small hit” and “per time reduction (shortening of time)” is performed, and a lottery is received by receiving the game ball B at the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004. If you win the jackpot in the special lottery result, determine the jackpot type based on the symbol random number (hereinafter also referred to as symbol random number (first special symbol random number, second special symbol random number)) that is obtained at the time of entering the ball, A gaming privilege (a jackpot game or a gaming state after the jackpot game) corresponding to the determined type of jackpot (determined jackpot type) is given in the same manner. Beginning If a special lottery result is drawn when the game ball B is received in the mouth 2004, a symbol random number (hereinafter referred to as a symbol random number (the first special symbol random number, the second special symbol) is obtained at the time of entering the ball. Random number) is determined based on the small hit type, and a game bonus (small hit game or small hit game) corresponding to the determined type small hit (determined small hit type) is entered into a specific area The jackpot game executed in this case, the game state after the jackpot game) are given, and the lottery special lottery result is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, special fluctuation time). It is also suggested to the player that the game ball B is received by receiving the game ball B at the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004. , 14 "Short-range big hit B)", "5R short-term big hit (A 5R short-term big hit A, 5R short-time big hit B)", etc. Per B1) ”,“ 5R small per minute (per hour at V short) (A2 per 5R small, B2 per 5R small) ”,“ 14R small per per (short per V time per A) (14R small per A, 14R small per B) ”, etc. As will be described in detail later, “5R small hits A2, B2” and “14R small hits A, B” are set as small hits that make it easy for a game ball to enter a specific area. For “5R small hits A1, B1”, a small hit that makes it difficult to enter a game ball into a specific area is set compared to “5R small hits A2, B2” and “14R small hits A, B”. Has been.

  The special lottery result (first special lottery result and second special lottery result) drawn by accepting the game balls B to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004 is the special lottery result that generates an advantageous gaming state. In this case, after the elapse of the special variation time, the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 is in a state where the game ball B can be received in a predetermined opening / closing pattern. When the game ball B is received in the first grand prize port 2005 or the second major prize port 2006 when the first grand prize port 2005 or the second grand prize port 2006 is in the open state, the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Thus, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580. Therefore, when the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 can accept the game ball B, the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 accepts the game ball B. The game ball B can be paid out and the player can be entertained.

  When the special lottery result is “small hit”, the first big prize opening 2005 is in an open state in which the game ball B can be received for a predetermined short time (for example, for 1.8 seconds). The opening / closing pattern to be closed is executed a predetermined number of times (once in this embodiment). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is “big hit”, or when a game ball won in the first big prize opening 2005 in the small hit game enters a specific area, the first big prize winning 2005 or the second big prize win. A predetermined long time (28.5 seconds in this example) has elapsed after the mouth 2006 is open to accept the game ball B, or to the first grand prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006. An open / close pattern that closes the game ball B in an unacceptable state when one of the conditions for accepting a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the game balls B is satisfied (a single open / close pattern is referred to as one round) Is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). For example, 5 rounds for “5R jackpot” and 14 rounds for “14R jackpot” are repeated for each player, and an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player by allowing the player to win an award (jackpot game) Is generated.

  In the present embodiment, the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 are indicated until the special lottery result drawn by the acceptance of the game ball B to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 is suggested. When the game ball B is accepted, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started. Therefore, the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. The number of reserved special lottery results to be held is up to four for each of the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, and for more than that, the first start port 2002 and the second start port Even if the game ball B is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is not put on hold and discarded. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side due to the accumulation of the hold. If a special lottery result drawn by accepting the game balls B to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004 is suggested, the suggested special lottery result must be “big hit” and “small hit”. For example, the start condition for the lottery of the next special lottery result is satisfied, and if there is a special lottery result held in the unexecuted state on the main control board 1310, the special lottery result with the highest digestion rank It will be digested (executed).

  This special lottery result suggestion (variable display of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol)) is performed by the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600. The function display unit 1400 is directly controlled by the main control board 1310 to suggest a special lottery result. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 indicates that the plurality of LEDs are repeatedly turned on / off and blinked for a predetermined time, and then the special lottery result is suggested by the combination of the LEDs that are lit. For example, if the special lottery result is “big hit”, the LED is turned on with a combination according to the big hit type (big hit symbol). If the special lottery result is “small hit”, the LED is turned on with a combination according to the small hit type If the special lottery result is “lost”, the special lottery result is suggested by turning on the LEDs in a combination different from the big hit symbol and the small hit symbol (losing symbol).

  On the other hand, the effect display device 1600 is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 based on a control signal from the main control board 1310 and suggests a special lottery result as an effect image. The effect image suggesting the special lottery result on the effect display device 1600 is displayed in a variable manner after changing each pattern row in a state where three pattern rows (decorative symbols) composed of a plurality of patterns are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. The displayed pattern sequence (decorative pattern) is sequentially stopped and displayed. Specifically, when the game ball B is received at the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004, each symbol row is changed in a state where three symbol rows composed of a plurality of decorative symbols are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. After that, the symbol strings that are variably displayed are sequentially stopped and displayed. At this time, each symbol row is stopped and displayed so that the decorative symbols of the three symbol rows that are stopped and displayed have a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. When the special lottery result is other than “losing”, after the three symbol sequences are stopped and the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed, a finalized image indicating the special lottery result is displayed on the effect display device 1600 and the lottery is selected. An advantageous gaming state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) according to the special lottery result occurs.

  Also, in the effect display device 1600, the display of the decorative symbols is stopped in the order of the left column → the right column → the middle column as viewed from the player side. A reach state is formed when the same decorative design is temporarily stopped and displayed in a row. In the present embodiment, among the plurality of symbol columns, the left column is the first stop column, the right column is the second stop column, the middle column is the third stop column, and the left and right columns form a reach state. It becomes.

  Here, the “temporary stop display” can appear during a period in which the special symbol is maintained in the fluctuation state in the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400, This is a state in which a specific decorative design is displayed in a swinging fluctuation state within the display area of the effect display device 1600. On the other hand, the “definite stop display” can appear when the special symbol is stopped on the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 or after that, This is a state in which any decorative design is stopped without fluctuation in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

  It should be noted that the time indicating the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (LED blinking time (fluctuation time)) and the time suggesting the special lottery result in the effect display device 1600 (the pattern row fluctuates and the confirmed image is changed). The time until display is different, and the function display unit 1400 is set to a longer time. Further, when a time (fluctuation time) indicating a special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 elapses, the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) transmits a stop display command to a peripheral control board 1510 described later. The peripheral control board 1510 (peripheral control IC 1510a) does not completely stop the effect suggesting the special lottery result on the effect display device 1600 until a stop display command is received from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) (for example, (Sway fluctuation display), the effect suggesting the special lottery result is stopped (determined display) based on the reception of the stop display command.

  Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the effect operation in the effect operation unit 300 in the door frame 3 according to the lottery special lottery result. It is possible to perform a player participation type effect that operates the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the unit 301. In the player participation type effect, the operation ring drive motor 342 can rotate or vibrate the rotation operation unit 302, assist the rotation operation, or inhibit the rotation operation. The press operation unit 303 can be raised and made conspicuous by 367, and the player participation type effect can be enjoyed by the operation of the effect operation unit 301.

  Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, each decoration board provided in the door frame 3, each decoration board provided in the game board 5, the lower movable effect unit 3100 of the front effect unit 2600 and the rear unit 3000, the upper rear Using the movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, and the like as appropriate, it is possible to perform a light emission effect, a movable effect, and the like, and the player can be entertained by various effects. It can suppress that the interest with respect to falls.

  Furthermore, in the peripheral control board 1510, in the player participation type effect that operates the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303, when the player should perform an operation that should be mistaken or not, the correct operation is performed. To that effect to the player. Specifically, for example, when the pressing operation of the center pressing operation unit 303a is requested, when the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b is pressed, or when the rotation operating unit 302 is rotated, the vibration speaker 354 vibrates. That effect is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

  Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the front effect unit of the front unit 2000 on the game board 5 according to the selected lottery result. 2600, the lower movable effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, etc. can be used as appropriate to perform a light emission effect, a movable effect, a display effect, etc. Various effects can also entertain the player, and the player's interest in the game can be prevented from decreasing.

  As described above, when the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) stops at the big hit symbol, a big hit game that allows the player to win a prize is performed on the main control board 1310. When the big hit game is executed, first, an opening period in which an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is performed is generated. When the opening period is over, the first grand prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are limited to a predetermined number of rounds (14 rounds in the present embodiment) determined in advance according to the determined jackpot type. Is opened (the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are in a state where the game ball B can be received), and a round game is performed. One round game is until the first grand prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are opened and closed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, once), and the first grand prize is won during one round game. Until a specified number (the upper limit number of winnings: 10 balls in this example) of game balls B wins in the mouth 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006, or a specified time (round game time: 28.5 seconds in this example) ) Until it elapses. In the round game, a round effect is performed. When the round game of the specified number of rounds is completed, an ending period (about 5 seconds in the present embodiment) in which an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game is generated is generated, and when the ending period ends, the big hit game is ended. The

  When the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) stops at the small hit symbol, a small hit game that allows the player to win a prize is performed on the main control board 1310. When executing the small hit game, first, an opening period in which an opening effect indicating the start of the small hit game is performed is generated. When the opening period ends, the first grand prize opening 2005 is opened (the first big prize opening 2005 is in a state where the game ball B can be received). In the embodiment, the upper limit is set to 1). During a single open game, the specified number of game balls B (the maximum number of wins: 10 balls in this example) is won in the first grand prize opening 2005 or until the specified time (open game time: in this example). 1.8 seconds). In the opening game, an opening effect is performed. When the specified number of open games is over, an ending period (about 5 seconds in the present embodiment) in which an ending effect indicating the end of the small hit game is generated is generated. When the ending period ends, Is terminated.

  Further, in the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment, the big hit game may be continuously generated after the small hit game is ended. Although not shown, the first grand prize opening 2005 is provided with a distribution member that distributes the game balls won in the first big prize opening 2005 into a specific area and a discharge area, and when a small hit game is started, a distribution solenoid is provided. 2111 operates in a predetermined operation mode. When the game ball B wins the first big prize opening 2005 in the small hit game, and the winning game ball B is distributed to the specific area inside by the sorting member and detected by the specific area sensor 2512a. A round game is performed in which the second big prize opening 2006 is opened up to a predetermined number of rounds (15 rounds in the present embodiment) determined in advance according to the determined small hit type. Therefore, in the above ending effect at the end of the small hit game, not only the end of the small hit game is shown, but the game ball B distributed by the distribution member is a specific area inside the first big prize opening 2005 It is also indicated whether or not the sensor 2512a is detected, that is, whether or not the big hit game is continued from the small hit game. In addition, when the big hit game is continuously generated after the end of the small hit game, the small hit game in which the first big prize opening 2005 is opened becomes one round, and the number of round games including this one round Until the number reaches the specified number of rounds (from the second round to the fifteenth round), a round game in which the second big prize opening 2006 is opened is performed.

  Further, in the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment, the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is a part of the big hit symbol, and is controlled to the time-saving state after the big hit game is finished. In addition, in a case where the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is a small hit game, the game ball B distributed by the distribution member during the small hit game is detected by the specific area sensor 2512a. After the big hit game is executed based on the fact, the time is controlled to be short. In this time-short state, the result of the normal determination as to whether or not it is easier to win the game ball B at the second start port 2004 is derived as compared to a non-time-short state (such as a normal game state) in which the time-short state has not occurred. In addition to shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation to be performed, the second start opening 2004 is opened and closed with an opening pattern different from the non-time-saving state when the normal symbol is won in the normal determination (time-saving control). .

  In the present embodiment, in the case of winning in a non-time-saving state, the opening pattern A in which the second start port 2004 opens and closes in a short-open mode (in this example, 0.05 seconds) is performed, while the time-saving time is set. In the case of winning in the state, the opening pattern B in which the second start port 2004 is opened and closed in a long opening mode (1.5 seconds in this example) is performed. In other words, the second start port 2004 is set to operate in an advantageous manner for the player in the short-time state, as compared with the non-short-time state, which has a longer opening / closing time corresponding to one ordinary map. For this reason, in the short-time state, compared to the non-short-time state, the second starting port 2004 is in a state where the second starting port 2004 is easy to open and close, and when the player makes a right turn, the game is given to the second starting port 2004. The sphere B is accepted and the normal symbol variation according to the normal determination is easily performed. The determination as to whether or not the time is short is made on the basis of when the normal symbol change executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped, specifically, when the normal symbol change is stopped. If it is in the short time state, even if it is in the short time state at the start of normal symbol fluctuation, the opening pattern A that opens and closes the second starting port 2004 in a short open mode (in this example, 0.05 seconds) is executed, and the normal symbol is executed. In the case of a short time state when the fluctuation is stopped, an opening pattern B that opens and closes the second start port 2004 in a long open mode (1.5 seconds in this example) even if it is a non-short time state at the start of the normal symbol fluctuation. Executed.

  According to the above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, if the player hits the right hand in the short-time state and continues to make a right turn, there is a possibility that the game ball B can be received by the second starting port 2004. There is a high probability that the game ball B is received in the second start port 2004). On the other hand, in the case of a non-time-saving state, if the winning is per common figure, it is difficult for the game ball B to be received at the second starting port 2004. For this reason, in the non-short-time state, the change display of the first special symbol is executed mainly based on the reception of the game ball B to the first start port 2002, and in the short-time state, the game ball B is mainly displayed to the second start port 2004. The variable display of the second special symbol based on the acceptance is executed.

  In addition, in the time-saving state according to this embodiment, the sum of the symbol variation of the first special symbol and the symbol variation of the second special symbol is predetermined after the jackpot game executed when the 14R hourly jackpot is won. When the number of times (100 times in this example: number of time reductions) is executed, the symbol change of the first special symbol is repeated a predetermined number of times after the end of the jackpot game executed when winning the short-time state A and the 5R short-time jackpot There is a time-short state B which is executed when the symbol is executed (5 times in this example: the number of time reductions) or the symbol variation of the second special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (in this example, 1 time: the number of time reductions). Also, after the big hit game executed when winning 5R small hit (V hour short big hit), control is made to the time-short state B, and the big hit game executed when winning 14R small hit (V hour short big hit) is controlled. After completion, control is made to the time-shortening state A.

  As described above, in the non-short-time state, the variation display of the first special symbol is executed mainly based on the reception of the game ball B to the first start port 2002, and in the short-time state, the game ball B mainly to the second start port 2004 is executed. The variation display of the second special symbol based on the acceptance of is performed. Also, in the time-saving state B that is executed when winning the 5R time emergency jackpot among the time-saving states, the number of symbol fluctuations that can be executed during the time-shortening state B (number of time reductions) is set to 5 in the first special symbol. On the other hand, in the second special symbol, it is set to one time, and the number of times (number of time reductions) is made different.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the second special symbol based on the start winning at the second start port 2004 is more than the case where the variation display of the first special symbol based on the start winning at the first start port 2002 is executed. When the change display is executed, the player is in an advantageous state. Also, in the time-saving state B, which is executed when winning the 5R time emergency jackpot among the time-shortening states, when the change display of the first special symbol in which the first special lottery result is lost is executed, the change time is 7 seconds. (Excluding hold shortening control (control that sets a variable time shorter than normal (7 seconds) when the number of holds is 3 or more)), the second special lottery result is lost. When two special symbols are displayed, the variation time is 16 seconds (the second special symbol does not perform the hold shortening control in the time-short state B, which is executed when the 5R short-time hit is won among the time-short states) Set to

  Moreover, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when both the first reservation number based on the start prize to the first start port 2002 and the second reservation number based on the start prize to the second start port 2004 exist, The change display of the second special symbol corresponding to the second number of reservations is executed with priority (the second number of reservations is preferentially consumed over the first number of reservations). As described above, if the player hits the right hand in the time-saving state and continues to hit the right, there is a high probability that the game ball B will be received by the second starting port 2004. In the short time state B that is executed when the big win is won, in most cases, the start winning to the second starting port 2004 occurs, and the variation display of the second special symbol based on the starting winning is executed. finish.

  Next, the game characteristic in the pachinko machine 1 in this embodiment is demonstrated. As the decorative symbols corresponding to the first special symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, eight numbers of 0 to 8 are adopted. “111”, “222”, “333”, “444”, “555”, “666”, “777”, and “888” are employed. In addition, 2/270 is defined as the jackpot winning probability on the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side. The winning probability per small hit on the first special symbol side is defined as 3/270, and the winning probability per small hit on the second special symbol side is defined as 113/270. 251/251 is defined as the winning probability per ordinary figure. In addition, the number of prize balls of the game ball B is three for the first start opening 2002, and one for the second start opening 2004 is the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006. On the other hand, 15 are defined. Further, as the opening pattern A of the second starting port 2004, a mode is defined in which the state is maintained until 0.05 seconds elapses after the second starting port 2004 is opened. On the other hand, as the opening pattern B of the second starting port 2004, a mode is defined in which the state is maintained until 1.5 seconds elapses after the second starting port 2004 is opened. Further, “one ball” is defined as the upper limit number of winnings, which is a condition for the second start port 2004 to be closed. Further, in each round game of the big hit game, “1” is set as the number of times the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are opened, and “10 balls” is set as the upper limit number of prizes. In the small hit game, “1” is defined as the number of times the first big winning opening 2005 is opened, and “10 balls” is defined as the maximum number of winnings.

  By the way, if the stopped special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) is a big hit symbol, the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize winning port 2006 is opened as a big hit game. Then, when the game ball B is received in the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 when the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 is open, the main control board 1310 and the payout control are performed. A predetermined number of game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 by the substrate 633. Accordingly, when the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 is in an open state, by allowing the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 to accept the game balls B, many game balls B are received. It can be paid out and the player can be entertained.

  On the other hand, if the stopped special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) is a small hit game, the first big prize opening 2005 is opened as a small hit game. When the game ball B is received in the first game winning opening 2005 when the first game winning opening 2005 is open, a predetermined number of game balls B are received from the payout device 580 by the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. , Paid out to the upper plate 201. However, in the small hit game, the opening time of the first big prize opening 2005 is short, and in the big hit game, the first big prize wins more than the number of game balls B accepted in the first big prize winning opening 2005 and the second big prize winning opening 2006. The number accepted into the mouth 2005 is significantly less. In this way, in the small hit game, the number of game balls B paid out to the player is small, but during the small hit game, the game balls B entered into the first big winning opening 2005 and distributed by the sorting member are A big hit game can be generated by being detected by the specific area sensor 2512a, and the player can be entertained.

  Further, in this embodiment, 2/270 is set as the jackpot winning probability on the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side, and when the jackpot is won on the first special symbol side, Most of them (94%) are configured to be 5R short-time hits, so the big hit (the so-called first hit) on the first special symbol side in the normal game progression process (non-time-saving state) There is a high possibility that a big hit will occur, and after the big hit game related to the 5R short time big hit, the short time state B mentioned above will occur. If the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) is displayed in a variable manner when the time-short state B is controlled after the end of the big hit game, a plurality of symbols are displayed to the second starting port 2004 during the variable display. The number of second holdings that are likely to lead to the small hit game execution is increased by entering a single game ball B, and after the change display, a variable display according to the second hold number is executed to execute the small hit game Will give you expectations. In other words, if it is controlled to the short-time state B after the end of the big hit game, regardless of which of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is variably displayed, the variation display time is used first to make a small Execute a stock game that increases (stores) the second hold number that is likely to lead to the right to execute the winning game, and after the display of the fluctuation, digests the second hold number that was increased (stored) during the stock game Can achieve a new game characteristic of executing a digest game aiming to acquire the right to execute the game, and suppresses the decline in the entertainment interest of the game as compared to the conventional game characteristic of simply waiting for the next big hit, regarding the continuous occurrence of big hit Is possible.

  Further, in order to more suitably realize the above-described game characteristics, in the present embodiment, the progress control in the short-time state is controlled in a unique form. Specifically, in the time-short state B executed when winning the 5R short-time jackpot out of the time-short states, when the start winning to the second start port 2004 occurs and the variable display of the second special symbol is executed In this case, the short-time state B is terminated after the variable display of the second special symbol is executed only once, but since the variable display of the second special symbol is executed with a long variable time of 16 seconds, A plurality of start winnings are generated at the second starting port 2004, and after the time-shortening state B is ended, a variable display based on the plurality of starting winnings is executed. That is, the second special symbol variable display period that is executed based on the occurrence of the start winning at the second start port 2004 in the time-short state B that is executed when the 5R time-short hit is won among the time-short states is: The second start port 2004 is set to be long enough to be able to be opened and closed a plurality of times, and as a result, a plurality of start winnings for the second start port 2004 are generated (the second reserved number is increased). It has become. As a result, even when the variable display of the second special symbol is executed in the short-time state B, the above-mentioned “the number of reserved second special symbols is accumulated and digested using before and after the end of the short-time state B. Game characteristics "can be realized, and a decrease in the entertainment interest can be suppressed.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the second hold number is zero in the time-saving state B executed when winning the 5R time junior high in the time-saving state (the second hold number is not stored). In addition, when the change display of the first special symbol is executed based on the first reserved number or the occurrence of a new start winning at the first start opening 2002, the change display of the first special symbol is performed once. Without shortening the time-short state B, the time-short state B is continued even after the first variable display of the first special symbol, and the first special symbol in the time-short state B where the variable display of the second special symbol is not performed. The time-short state B is configured to be terminated after the special symbol variation display is executed a maximum of 5 times. As a result, the first special case is disadvantageous as compared with the case where the variable display of the second special symbol is executed because there is no second reserved number in the time reduction state B which is executed in the case of winning the 5R time emergency hit among the time reduction states. The special symbol variation display is executed only once, and is disadvantageous for the player as compared with the case where the short-time state B is terminated after the second special symbol variation display (for example, the second special symbol is the first special symbol). Despite the fact that it is easier to win a small win than this, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the player cannot receive the right of one lottery of the second special symbol), and such a disadvantage occurs. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the entertainment interest of the game.

  Moreover, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, it is configured such that after the variable display of the first special symbol is executed up to five times in the short time state B when the variable display of the second special symbol is not performed, the short time state B is terminated. Therefore, after the start of the time reduction state B, the time reduction state B continues even if all the four reserved numbers of the first special symbol that have already been stored are digested. For this reason, even if the user leaves the seat after the start of the short-time state B, it is possible to experience the above-described game characteristics, and it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged by leaving.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the variation display of the second special symbol is performed once, even if the variation display of the first special symbol has not reached five times, the variation of the second special symbol is performed once. The time reduction state B is configured to end with the display. In other words, one symbol variation of the second special symbol in the time-short state B also functions as a limiting means for forcibly terminating the time-short state B that can occur over a plurality of variation displays on the first special symbol side. Since the time-short state B is not easily lengthened and can be prevented from being excessively advantageous to the player, it is possible to more suitably realize the above game characteristics.

  In the time-saving state B that is executed when the 5R time-short hit is won among the time-saving states, the condition (number of time reductions) for ending the time-saving state B is not limited to the above, but at least the second special symbol For example, the first special symbol may be displayed twice, the second special symbol may be displayed once, the first special symbol may be displayed once, and the first special symbol may be displayed. It is good also as 5 times, and it is good also as 2 times as the frequency | count of a fluctuation | variation of a 2nd special symbol. As described above, when the variable display of the other special symbol is made to function as a limiting means for forcibly terminating the short-time state that can occur over a plurality of variable displays on one special symbol side, It is preferable that the number of changes in the special symbol is one.

  Moreover, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the time variation state B is reached, the symbol variation of the first special symbol is executed five times after the end of the big hit game, or the symbol variation of the second special symbol is executed once. Although it was configured to finish, in addition, after the jackpot game is finished, programming is performed so that the short-time state B is finished by executing the total number of symbol fluctuations of the first special symbol and the second special symbol five times. It is good also as setting. For example, when adding the total number of fluctuations, when determining the end of the short time state B, the total number of fluctuations is referred to after the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol alone and the number of fluctuations of the second special symbol alone. Such a configuration can be exemplified. By configuring in this way, there is a programming change from other gaming machines that do not differ in the time-short state end trigger in the first and second special symbols, or the time-short end trigger in the first and second special symbols. When changing programming to other gaming machines that do not differ, it is possible to make common without requiring significant changes such as deletion and addition of program data related to the total number of fluctuations, but the design of the second special design It is possible to realize the above-described game characteristics in which the time-saving state ends when the fluctuation is executed once.

  Incidentally, conventionally, a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine has a plurality of game areas in which a game is played when a game medium is struck by a player's operation and a plurality of gauges arranged in a predetermined gauge arrangement in the game area. Obstacle nails and a plurality of entrances (general winning entrances, starting entrances, variable winning entrances (variable starting entrances, large entrances) that are allowed to receive gaming media within the gaming area and that give benefits according to the acceptance of gaming media A prize winning opening, a prize winning opening), a V winning opening, etc.). Then, when the game medium is received at the entrance, a privilege (payout of the game medium, occurrence of an advantageous game state in which the player has an advantage, etc.) is given, so the game medium is sent to the entrance to the player. It is possible to entertain the game medium driving operation so as to be accepted.

  As this type of gaming machine, a plurality of gaming machines are arranged so as to be movable in the vertical direction between the vicinity of the upper edge and the vicinity of the center in the front-view gaming area, and can rotate around an axis extending in the front-rear direction and project outward. There has been proposed one having a rotating decorative body (for example, JP 2010-279548 A). In the technique of this document, in a normal state, the rotating decorative body is positioned near the upper edge, and the rotating decorative body is lowered to the vicinity of the center in accordance with the gaming state that changes as a game is performed in the game area. By rotating, the entire rotating decoration body rotates in a state of protruding outward, the whole becomes larger, the player can be surprised, and the player can be informed of the arrival of a chance.

  However, in the technique as described in the above document, since the plurality of rotating decorative bodies visible from the player side protrude outward due to the rotation in a normal state where the rotation is stopped, the overall size is reduced. However, since the appearance does not change significantly, some players may get bored early with the effects of multiple rotating decorations, and the enjoyment of the effects may be reduced, thereby reducing the interest of the game. It was.

[9. Control processing of main control board]
[9-1. Various control processes by main control MPU]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 1310 (particularly the main control MPU) will be described. FIG. 126 (a) is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 126 (a), the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment first performs various processes as a process of step S1 on the condition that the RAM clear switch of the main control board 1310 is operated. Data stored in a register or a RAM built in the main control MPU (hereinafter referred to as “main control built-in RAM”) is initialized. The RAM clear switch is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 and cannot be operated unless the main body frame 4 is opened. The RAM clear switch outputs a clear signal to the main control board 1310 in response to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) elapses after the power is turned on, and the main control MPU receives the clear signal when the power is turned on. If it is determined, initialization processing (step S1) is executed to initialize various registers and data stored in the main control built-in RAM.

  Although not shown, in this example, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is shut off, a backup process is executed in which information indicating the progress of the game (for example, various flags) is stored in the main control built-in RAM. If the RAM clear switch is not operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the information stored in the main control built-in RAM is referred to in the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). A recovery process for recovering the state according to the information is executed. Further, when the RAM clear switch is operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the initialization process is executed without executing the recovery process to set the pachinko machine 1 to the initial state. Further, when the initialization process is executed, the gaming state is controlled to a non-time-saving state.

  Next, as a process in step S2, a random number that is a number to be updated within a predetermined numerical range is updated. That is, in the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment, special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) used for the lottery process for the display mode when the variable symbol display is stopped, and the special symbols. Whether or not to reach as a game effect to be executed by the effect display device 1600 in response to the variable random number used in the lottery process for a predetermined time (variation time) required for the variable display control of the game Reach random number to be used for lottery processing (whether or not to produce an effect), symbol random number to be used for lottery processing to determine the type of jackpot if it is determined that the big hit based on the special random number (The first symbol random number, the second symbol random number), the random number used for the lottery process (ordinary random number) for the winning of the winning of the second starting port 2004, etc. And it includes a random number counter that.

  In this example, a common reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first start opening 2002 is won, the second start opening 2004 is won. Even in this case, the reach random number is acquired from the same counter that updates the reach random number. The reach determination table to be compared with the acquired reach random number may correspond to the first reach determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and is different from the first reach determination table. You may make it vary the execution ratio of reach production by providing the 2nd reach determination table in which a determination value is set.

  In the process of step S2, the counter operation of the random number counter is performed in such a manner that only the random numbers (variable random numbers) not related to the winning of these random numbers are updated. Note that after the processes of steps S1 and S2 are performed in this way, only the process of step S2 is basically repeated. However, in this embodiment, for example, the following timer interrupt control is performed every 4 ms.

  FIG. 126 (b) is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU of the main control board 1310.

  As shown in FIG. 126 (b), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs a register saving process as the process of step S11 in this interrupt control. Next, as the processing of step S12a, the gate sensor 2301, the first start port sensor 3002, the second start port sensor 2511, the first count sensor 2512, the second count sensor 2513, the general winning port sensor 3001a, Based on detection signals from various sensors such as the general prize opening sensor 3001b, the magnetic sensor 3003, and the specific area sensor 2512a, each detection result is captured.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 receives the first start port sensor 3002, the second start port sensor 2511, and the first count sensor, which are taken in step S12a as step S12b. 2512, the second count sensor 2513, the general prize opening sensor 3001a, the general prize opening sensor 3001b, the specific area sensor 2512a, etc., when the detection results based on the detection signals are in the ON state, the input corresponding to each sensor An incoming command transmission control process for transmitting a spherical command to the peripheral control board 1510 is performed.

  As a ball entry command, a first ball entry command that indicates that the game ball B received in the first ball start port 2002 has been detected by the first ball sensor 3002 is received, and the ball ball B received in the second ball start 2004. A second start-entry ball entering command that indicates that the game ball B has been detected by the second start-up sensor 2511, and a fact that the first count sensor 2512 has detected the game ball B received in the first major prize-winning port 2005 The first big prize opening ball command, the second big prize opening ball command, which tells that the game ball B received in the second big prize opening 2006 has been detected by the second count sensor 2513, the storage ball A special feature that informs that the game ball B received in the general prize opening 2001a provided in the production unit 3400 is detected by the general prize opening sensor 3001a. Common prize opening entry command, the game balls B received in the general prize opening 2001b provided in the start opening unit 2100 and the general prize opening 2001c, 2001d provided in the side unit 2200 are common to the general prize opening. A common general winning opening input command that indicates that the sensor 3001b has detected, a game ball that has entered the first big winning opening 2005 and has been distributed and received by the sorting member into a specific area and a specific area. There is a specific area entry command for notifying that B is detected by the specific area sensor 2512a.

  When the various incoming ball commands are received by the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral control board 1510 causes the main control board 1310 to win a prize ball with respect to the payout control board 633 based on the various incoming ball commands. As a result, the number of game balls to be paid out to the player can be grasped, and it can be grasped that the big hit game is continuously generated after the small hit game. Specifically, when the peripheral control board 1510 receives the first start entrance command, the peripheral control board 1510 grasps that the number of game balls to be paid out to the player as a prize ball is “3 balls”, and the second start When receiving the entrance ball command, the player knows that the number of game balls to be paid out to the player as a prize ball is “1”, and receives the first grand entrance entrance command, When it is understood that the number of game balls to be paid out is “15 balls” and the second big prize winning ball entry command is received, the number of game balls to be paid out to the player as a prize ball is “15 balls”. And receiving a specific general winning entry entrance command, the player knows that the number of game balls to be paid out to the player as a winning ball is "4", and receiving a common general winning entrance entry command, Ascertaining that the number of game balls to be paid out to the player as a prize ball is “8 balls” and entering a specific area Upon receiving the command, to understand that it is ready to be generated to continue jackpot gaming after Koatari game.

  Next, as a process in step S13, a random number update process for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, among the random numbers, the random number counter is updated in such a manner that the random numbers (special random numbers, normal random numbers) related to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbols and the normal symbols are updated. The operation is performed.

  Then, after the random number is updated in this way, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs the special symbol process processing including the lottery processing relating to the display mode at the time of stopping the variable symbol variable display as the processing of step S14. Execute. This special symbol process will be described later, but here, basically, a special symbol process flag (first special symbol process flag, second symbol) indicating the progress of the game stored in the main control built-in RAM. The corresponding process is selectively executed based on the special symbol process flag).

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 executes a normal symbol process including a lottery process related to winning when the second start port 2004 is opened as the process of step S15. Even in this normal symbol process, basically, the corresponding process is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game.

  When the special symbol process (step S14) and the normal symbol process (step S15) are performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 then performs the special symbol process as step S16. Then, processing for transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM to the peripheral control board 1510 or the like is performed. Next, as a process of step S17, a process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM in the normal symbol process process to the peripheral control board 1510, for example, is performed.

  Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs an information output process for outputting data such as hit information supplied to the hall management computer, for example, as a process of step S18.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 receives the first start port sensor 3002, the second start port sensor 2511, and the first count sensor, which are taken in step S12a as step S19. 2512, when the detection results based on the detection signals of the second count sensor 2513, the general prize opening sensor 3001a, the general prize opening sensor 3001b, etc. are in the on state, the prize balls corresponding to those signals are paid out to the player. As a result, a winning ball process for outputting a payout control command to the payout control board 633 is executed. As a result, the payout control MPU provided on the payout control board 633 outputs a drive signal to the payout motor 584 and pays out a prize ball to the player. In this example, when the game ball B wins the first start port 2002 and the first start port sensor 3002 is turned on, “3 balls”, the game ball B wins the second start port 2004 and the first start port 2002 is turned on. When the second start sensor 2511 is turned on, “1 ball”, when the game ball B wins the first big prize opening 2005 and when the first count sensor 2512 is turned “15 balls”, the second big prize is won. When the game ball B wins the mouth 2006 and the second count sensor 2513 is turned on, “15 balls”, when the game ball B wins the general prize opening 2001a and the general winning mouth sensor 3001a is turned on. Is “4 balls”, and when the game ball B wins the above general winning ports 2001b to 2001d and the general winning port sensor 3001b is turned on, the “8 balls” winning balls are paid out to the players, respectively. Like To have.

  Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs a storage process for checking increase / decrease in the number of reserved storages as the process of step S20. Next, as a process of step S21, a test terminal process that is a process of outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko machine 1 to be confirmed outside the gaming machine is executed. After that, the drive control of the actuator that operates constantly is performed (step S22), the contents of the register are restored (step S23), and the control is finished when the interrupt permission state is set (step S24). It becomes.

  By the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 4 mS. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by an interrupt process by a timer. However, in the interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred may be set. However, in this case, the game control process is executed in the main process.

  FIG. 127 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol process (step S14).

  Now, assuming that random numbers used for various lottery processes are updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 127, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is first controlled by the first start port sensor 3002. On condition that the detection signal is on (the ball enters the first start port 2002) (step S31), the first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the random number counter and is stored in the main control. A first start port passing process such as storing in the first special symbol storage area of the RAM is executed (step S32). Further, on condition that the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2511 is in an ON state (the ball enters the second start port 2004) (step S33), the second special random number of the second special symbol is set to the random number. A second start-pass passage process such as obtaining from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol holding storage area of the main control built-in RAM is executed (step S34).

  Next, the main control MPU determines whether or not the big hit execution flag indicating that the big hit game is being controlled is set (step S35), and if the big hit execution flag is set, the control of the big hit game is controlled. The big hit control process (step S40) which performs is performed. In the big hit control process, the result of the lottery process (the result of the hit determination and the content of the big hit type) about the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped suggests “15R big hit” The first count sensor 2512 indicates that ten game balls B have been won after the first big prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or at the first big prize opening 2005. The process of controlling to the 15R big hit game which repeats the opening / closing pattern to be closed 15 times when detected is executed.

  In the big hit control process, the opening control of the first big winning opening 2005 is performed, and then the time-short flag setting process is executed. The time reduction flag is a flag indicating that the time reduction control (control executed in the time reduction state) is being executed, and is set when the big hit game based on the big hit that is time-controlled after the big hit game is ended, which will be described later. It is reset by the first special symbol stop process shown in 138 or the second special symbol stop process of the second special symbol process described later. In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the number of time reductions is set so that the time reduction control is ended when the first special symbol variation display is executed five times or the second special symbol variation display is executed once. That is, when the time-shortening control is started after the big hit game ends, and the condition of either executing the variable display of the first special symbol five times or executing the variable display of the second special symbol once is satisfied. The time reduction control is terminated.

  Further, if the big hit execution flag is not set, the main control MPU determines whether or not the small hit execution flag indicating that the small hit game is being controlled is set (step S36). If the running flag is set, the small hit control process (step S41) for controlling the small hit game is executed. In the small hit control process, when the result of the lottery process regarding the display mode when the variable display of the second special symbol is stopped becomes a mode that suggests “small hit”, the second big prize opening 2006 to be described later is displayed. When the second count sensor 2513 detects that ten game balls B have been won after the second big prize opening 2006 is opened based on the opening pattern A or the open pattern B. Execute the closing process. Further, when the game ball B that has won a prize in the second big prize opening 2006 and is distributed by the sorting member enters the specific area, the game is controlled to the big hit game and the first big prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when the first count sensor 2512 detects that 10 game balls B have been won in the first big prize opening 2005, the opening / closing pattern to be closed is repeated 15 times, and the game shifts to 15R big hit game Control. On the other hand, when the game balls B won in the first big prize opening 2005 and distributed by the sorting member do not enter the specific area, and enter the discharge area, they are not controlled by the big hit game, After the winning game is over, the game state (normal state or short time state) before the small hit game is controlled again.

  The main control MPU also has a second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area if neither the big hit execution flag nor the small hit execution flag is set. On the condition that the value of “0” is “0” (step S37), the first special symbol process process including the lottery process relating to the display mode at the time of stopping the variable display of the first special symbol is executed (step S38). On the condition that the value of the second special reserved number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the two special symbol reserved storage areas is not “0” (step S37), when the variable display of the second special symbol is stopped A second special symbol process process including a lottery process according to the display mode is executed (step S39).

  FIG. 128 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first start port passage process (step S32).

  If it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first start port sensor 3002 is in the on state and the game ball B has entered the first start port 2002, the process is shown in FIG. As described above, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S41.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 obtains the counter value by the first special reserved number counter indicating the number of first special random numbers stored in the first special symbol reserved storage area from the main control built-in RAM, Based on the counter value, it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number is “4” which is the maximum value (upper limit value) (step S42). In the process of step S42, when it is determined that the first reserved memory number is not the maximum value, the following steps S43 to S43 are performed to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol on hold. The process of S45 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S43, the first special reservation number counter is incremented (added by 1). Next, as the processing of step S44, the first special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special reservation number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM is used as the random number acquired in step S41. To store.

  Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 displays the display result of the variable display of the first special symbol based on the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number acquired in step S41. Whether or not the game is a big hit, if the big win is reached, the type of the big hit, otherwise the reach effect is executed as the game effect executed by the effect display device 1600, or the type type of the game effect to be executed ( After performing the effect pre-determination process for determining the pre-determination information such as the variation pattern type) before starting the variable display according to the start winning (step S45), the process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S42 that the first reserved memory number is the maximum value, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly reserved. That is, by ending the process without executing the processes of steps S43 to S45, the first special symbol variable display control is not newly put on hold.

  Further, when the first reserved memory number changes based on the game ball B entering the first starting port 2002, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the first special reserved number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is changed to the first held state. While updating to correspond to the stored number, a command (first reserved number designation command 0 to 4) instructing the first reserved storage number is set and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the storage process (step S20). It is supposed to be. The peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 displays the first reserved memory number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the first reserved number designation commands 0 to 4.

  FIG. 129 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the effect preliminary determination process (step S45). When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 starts the effect pre-determination process, the pre-determination table (not shown) and the random number acquired in step S41, specifically, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, the fluctuation Whether or not it is a big hit by comparing with a random number, the type of jackpot if it is a big hit, or the reach effect as a game effect executed by the effect display device 1600 if it is not a big hit The mode type of the game effect is specified (step S61).

  Then, the specified prior determination information (whether or not it is a big hit, the type of jackpot if it is a big hit, or the reach effect as a game effect executed on the effect display device 1600 if it is not a big hit, or execution According to the type of game effect to be performed), the type of the acquired special random number (first special random number), and the number of reserved memories stored (the value of the reserved number counter) corresponding to the acquired special random number Set the prior judgment command. For example, in the effect predetermination process related to the first special symbol executed in step S45 of the first start port passage process, the specified predetermination information and the first special random number are acquired, and the first reserved memory number (first 1 special reserved number counter value) and a first special symbol pre-determination command corresponding to the value (step S62).

  Then, a pre-determination command is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 in the special symbol command control process (step S16), and stored in correspondence with the first start port 2002 where the start winning has occurred. In addition to the number of reserved memory, whether or not the display result of the change display of the special symbol based on the start winning that has occurred is a big hit, if it is a big hit, the type of big hit, if not, the execution display device 1600 The peripheral control IC 1510a provided on the peripheral control board 1510 grasps the advance determination information such as the type of game effect to be executed or the type of game effect to be executed before starting the variable display according to the start winning. become able to.

  When the peripheral control IC 1510a included in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the preliminary determination command from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control IC 1510a stores the preliminary determination information indicated by the received preliminary determination command. Specifically, the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a is provided with a first reserved storage area for storing pre-determination information relating to the variable display of the first special symbol.

  The first reserved storage area has 1 to 4 storage areas corresponding to the number of reserved memories, and the peripheral control IC 1510a stores the first determination information indicated by the received previous determination command as the first (first) storage area. Store sequentially from the area. When the advance determination command is received when the advance determination information is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the advance determination information notified to the (n + 1) th (n = 1 to 3) storage area. And when the first variation pattern command for notifying the start of variation display of the first special symbol is received, the advance stored in the first storage area of the first reserved storage area in accordance with the received first variation pattern command Discard the determination information and move the prior determination information stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area to the (N−1) th (N = 2 to 4) th storage area (to the reserved storage area) Shift the stored prior decision information). Thereby, the preliminary determination information of the first special symbol is stored so as to be able to specify the order in which the suspension of the start of the variable display has occurred, and is discarded in order from the earliest preliminary determination information.

  In this way, when the variable display control is put on hold, the big display expectation degree (pseudo-winning probability) of the variable display control is maintained even though the variable display control is maintained in an unexecuted state (pending state). )) In advance, for example, can be notified at a predetermined timing such as when a new output of the hold display or a shift display of the hold display according to the hold display. .

  FIG. 130 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second start port passage process (step S34).

  Now, if it is determined in the process of step S33 that the second start port sensor 2511 is in the on state and the game ball B has entered the second start port 2004, FIG. As described above, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S51.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 obtains the counter value by the second special reserved number counter from the main control built-in RAM, and based on the counter value, the second reserved memory number is the maximum value (upper limit value). ) Is “4” (step S52). In the process of step S52, when it is determined that the second reserved memory number is not the maximum value, the following steps S53 to S53 are performed to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol on hold. The process of S54 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S53, the second special hold number counter is counted up (added by 1). Next, as the processing of step S54, the second special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special reservation number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM is used as the random number acquired in step S51. To store.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S52 that the second reserved memory number is the maximum value, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly reserved. That is, by ending the process without executing the processes of steps S53 to S54, the second special symbol variable display control is not newly put on hold.

  In addition, when the second reserved memory number changes based on the game ball B entering the second starting port 2004, the second on-hold state of the two LEDs of the second special reserved number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is changed. While updating to correspond to the stored number, a command (second held number designation command 0 to 1) indicating the second reserved memory number is set and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the storage process (step S20). It is supposed to be. The peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 displays the second reserved memory number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the second reserved number designation commands 0 to 4.

  FIG. 131 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol process (step S38). The first special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process and the second special symbol process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process are the same program modules, and are random numbers used for the determination. Since only the table is different, only the first special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process will be described here. In the first special symbol process, on the condition that an interval timer described later has timed out (YES in step S85), one of the following five process processes is performed according to the first special symbol process flag. It will be executed selectively. If the interval timer has not timed out (NO in step S85), the process ends without executing the following process.

1. First special symbol in which the first special random number stored in the main control built-in RAM is read out, and a lottery process is performed on the display mode when the variation control of the first special symbol is stopped based on the read first special random number Normal processing (step S80)
2. First special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81) in which the determination process of the first special symbol variation control stop mode is performed based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the first special symbol variable control stop )
3. Variation of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 based on the variable random number, and variation of the effect display executed on the effect display device 1600 corresponding to the first special symbol First variation pattern setting process (step S82) in which a lottery process or the like for the aspect is performed
4). First special symbol variation processing that waits until the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped (step S83).
5. The first special symbol display mode of the function display unit 1400 displays the first special symbol variation control stop mode determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the first special symbol variable control mode is stopped. First special symbol stop process for stopping the variable display of the first special symbol as described above (step S84)

  The first special symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the first special symbol normal processing (step S80) should be performed in the processing of step S1 (see FIG. 126).

  FIG. 132 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol normal process (step S80).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 132, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs step S101. As the process, it is determined whether or not there is a variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the first special hold number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is a variable display control of the first special symbol that is in the hold state, it is stored in the first special symbol hold storage area of the main control built-in RAM as the process of step S102. The random number stored in the earliest storage area among the random numbers (for example, the first special random number, the first design random number, the reach random number, and the variable random number) related to the display mode of the first special symbol, Read from. Next, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special reserved number counter is counted down and the first special stored in each storage area of the first special symbol reserved storage area of the main control built-in RAM. A random number (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) related to the display mode when the variable display of symbols is stopped is shifted in a first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

  Specifically, the first special symbol reservation storage area has four storage areas (first special symbol reservation storage area a to first special symbol reservation storage area d), and a start winning prize to the first start opening 2002 is obtained. The random numbers extracted according to the generation are stored in order from the first (first) area. Then, if a starting prize occurs when random numbers are stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the extracted random numbers are stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area. When the variable display start condition based on the random number stored in the storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area. Various random numbers are moved to the (N−1) th (N = 2 to 4) th storage area. As a result, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the first special symbol occurs can be stored in an identifiable manner, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the suspension that occurred first). become.

  After that, as a process of step S105, a hit determination process which is a lottery process for the big hit or the small win is performed based on the read first special random number of the first special symbol. Thereafter, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81) (step S106), the process is terminated.

  FIG. 133 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the hit determination process (step S105).

  The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 includes a hit determination table shown in FIG. 134A and a special random number (if the first special symbol normal process is being executed, the first special random number read in step S102, When the two special symbol normal processing is being executed, the second special symbol normal processing is compared with the second special symbol normal processing (step S114).

  As shown in FIG. 134A, the hit determination table is stored in the main control built-in ROM, and is provided for each type of special random number (first special random number, second special random number). In the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the first special random number, the three types of the first special random numbers coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating that the big hit is won, and are different from the jackpot determination value. Each of the first special random numbers is matched with a big hit determination value indicating that the first special random number is won in a small hit, and 265 types of first special random numbers are matched with a loss determination value indicating that it is the loss. Associated with (probability of big hit; 1/135, probability of small hit; 3/270). In this example, in the second special symbol process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process, two types of second special random numbers are included in the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number. 113 types of second special random numbers that match the jackpot determination value indicating that the jackpot has been won and 155 types of second special random numbers that coincide with the jackpot determination value that indicates that the jackpot determination value is different from the jackpot determination value. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the loss determination value indicating that the random number is the loss (big hit probability: 1/135, small hit probability: 113/270). In other words, the determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number is configured to have a higher probability of being determined as a small hit than the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the first special random number. When the variation display of the second special symbol based on the start winning to the second start port 2004 is executed than when the variation display of the first special symbol based on the start winning to the first starting port 2002 is performed. This is in a state advantageous to the player.

  The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 includes the hit determination table and a special random number (the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process or the second special symbol read in the second special symbol normal process). As a result of the comparison with the (random number), if it is determined that it is a big hit (step S115), a big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is won is set (step S116), and the hit determination process is terminated.

  Further, as a result of comparison between the selected hit determination table and a special random number (the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process or the second special random number read in the second special symbol normal process), When it is determined that a small hit is made (step S117), a small hit flag indicating that the change is won for the small hit is set (step S118), and the hit determination process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if neither the big win nor the small win is won, that is, if it is determined to be lost, the reach determination table is compared with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S119).

  A reach determination table (not shown) is stored in the main control built-in ROM, and is used when the gaming state is the short-time state, and when the gaming state is the non-short-time state, the non-time reduction is used. And a reach determination table in a state. In the reach determination table in the short-time state, the reach reaches the reach determination value indicating that one type of reach random number reaches, and the reach determination value indicates that 71 types of reach random numbers do not reach. Each random number is associated.

  In addition, the reach determination table in the non-short-time state matches the reach determination value indicating that five types of reach random numbers including the same reach random number set in the reach determination table in the time-short state reach, The reach random numbers are associated with each other so that the 67 types of reach random numbers match the reach determination value indicating that the reach is not reached. As described above, in this embodiment, in the non-short-time state, the reach determination value indicating the reach is higher than that in the short-time state.

  If the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 compares the reach reach table selected with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S119) and determines that the reach is lost (step S120), the fluctuation is detected. A reach flag indicating reach is set and the process is terminated (step S121).

  FIG. 135 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 135, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first The result of the lottery process of the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped, that is, the result of the hit determination process (step S105) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S131).

  If the jackpot flag is set in step S131, the main control MPU selects the jackpot symbol determination table shown in FIG. 134 (B) and selects the first symbol random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process. By comparing with the selected jackpot symbol determination table, the jackpot symbol as a mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol) at the time of stopping the variable control of the first special symbol is determined (step S132).

  As shown in FIG. 134 (B), in the jackpot symbol determination table, symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) are associated with each other according to the determination result (14R hour junior college / 5R junior college bonus). It is remembered. The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines the type of jackpot by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number.

In particular,
1. Closed after opening the first grand prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when the first count sensor 2512 detects that ten game balls B have won the first big prize opening 2005. By repeating the opening / closing pattern 14 times (14 rounds), the game ball B is controlled to a 14R big hit game that can enter the first big prize opening 2005 (easy), and after the big hit game ends, the special symbol changes If the next big hit game does not occur until 100 times of execution, the state is terminated when the state is terminated.
2. Closed after opening the first grand prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when the first count sensor 2512 detects that ten game balls B have won the first big prize opening 2005.

After the second grand prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when the second count sensor 2513 detects that ten game balls B have won the second big prize opening 2006 By repeating the opening / closing pattern 14 times (14 rounds), the game ball B is controlled to a 14R big hit game that can enter the second big prize opening 2006 (easy), and after the big hit game ends, the special symbol changes If the next big hit game does not occur until 100 times of execution, the state is terminated when the state is terminated.
4). Closed after opening the first grand prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when the first count sensor 2512 detects that ten game balls B have won the first big prize opening 2005. (2 rounds), after that the second grand prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds), or that ten game balls B have won the second big prize opening 2006 Opening and closing patterns that are closed when detected in 2513 are repeated four times (four rounds), so that the game ball B can enter the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 (easy) for a 5R big hit game. Control, after the end of the jackpot game, the next jackpot game must occur until the first special symbol variation display is executed five times or the second special symbol variation display is executed once. End of state 5R time reduction jackpot B controlling the time reduction state B that

  In the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the first symbol random number, 6 judgment values are assigned when the short hit is A at 14R, and 94 judgment values are assigned when the short hit is A at 5R. Yes. In other words, if a lottery result for a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the first special random number, a short hit is A at 14R with a probability of 6% and a short hit with A at 5R is with a probability of 94%. Similarly, in the jackpot symbol determination table to be compared with the second symbol random number, 58 judgment values are distributed when the shortage big hit B at 14R, and 42 decision values are sorted when the shortage big hit B at 5R. ing. In other words, when a lottery result for a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the second special random number, it becomes a short hit B for 14R at a probability of 58%, and a short hit B for 5R at a probability of 42%. Thus, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the probability of being determined to be a short jackpot at 14R is higher in the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the second symbol random number than in the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the first symbol random number. When the variation display of the second special symbol based on the start winning to the second starting port 2004 is executed rather than the variation display of the first special symbol based on the starting winning to the first starting port 2002. It is in a state advantageous to the player.

  In addition, when a lottery result for the big hit is obtained, the gaming state after the big hit game is ended is determined according to the type of the big hit. In the big hit control process (step S40), after the big hit game is controlled, a process for setting the time reduction flag based on the determination result and a process for setting the time reduction number according to the type of the big hit in the time reduction counter. Executed.

  Specifically, when it is determined that the big hits of “14R hourly jackpot A” and “14R hourly jackpot B” have been obtained, after 14 rounds of jackpot game have been executed, a special symbol (first special symbol) When it is determined that the jackpot of “5R short-time big hit A” and “5R short-time big hit B” has been obtained until the symbol fluctuation of the sum of the second special symbol and the second special symbol is executed 100 times. After five rounds of big hit game is executed, the time is controlled until the variable display of the first special symbol is executed five times, or until the variable display of the second special symbol is executed once. In this way, when the lottery result based on the first special random number is obtained as a big win, the lottery result is controlled to be in a short time state after the big bonus game is finished, and similarly the lottery result based on the lottery based on the second special random number Even if the game is obtained, the time is always controlled after the big hit game is over. However, when the big hits of “14R hourly big hit A” and “14R hourly big hit B” are obtained, the big hit game is more than the case where the big hit of “5R hourly big hit A” and “5R hourly big hit B” is obtained. After execution, it is controlled to be in a short time state over a long period of time.

  Also, if the 14R hourly jackpot A is determined, the 14R hourly jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is determined as the 14R hourly jackpot symbol A, and if the 5R hourly jackpot A is determined, the 5R jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is 5R. Decide on A symbol for time and college. In addition, if the second special symbol stop symbol setting process is determined to be 14R hour short hit per B, the 14R big hit symbol of the second special symbol is determined to be 14R hour short hit per B symbol, and if 5R hour short hit per B is determined. The 2R special symbol 5R big hit symbol is determined to be the 5R short junior big symbol B symbol.

  Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines the lost symbol when the big hit flag is not set (step S136).

  After the stop symbol determination process is performed in this way, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs either of the lottery results (big hit type, small hit, reach lose, or lose) as the process of step S137. A determination result notification command corresponding to each lottery result is set so that an instruction (which may instruct the stop symbol form of the first special symbol) is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. Thereafter, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first variation pattern setting process (step S82) as the process of step S138, the process is terminated.

  The peripheral control IC 1510a controls display of the effect display device 1600 based on the received determination result notification command and variation pattern command. On the effect display device 1600, a decorative symbol corresponding to the first special symbol on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is variably displayed. Specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a, as a mode (stop symbol) at the time of stoppage of the decorative symbol variation, when the big hit is specified from the received determination result notification command, the big hit symbol (left, middle, right decorative symbol is If a reach loss is specified, the lost symbol with reach (left and right decorative symbols are combinations of the same symbol with a value of 0 to 8). If a combination of symbols with different middle decorative patterns; reach-losing symbols) is determined and a loss is specified, the missing symbols that do not have reach (the left / middle / right decorative symbols have at least the left / right decorative symbols) The combination of different symbols) is determined, and when the variation time specified by the variation pattern command has elapsed (at the end of the game effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed and controlled.

  FIG. 136 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 136, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has the big hit flag set. If so (step S141), the variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of the big hit according to the type of big hit determined at step S132 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is selected (step S142), and the reach flag is set. If it is set (step S145), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach is selected (step S146), and if neither the big hit flag nor the reach flag is set, that is, normal loss (reach effect) If it is a losing), the fluctuation pattern table at the time of losing (not shown) Is selected (step S147).

  Then, a variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S148), and the determined variation pattern is started. A variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 1510 is set, and variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is started (step S149). Further, the main control MPU sets a variation time set corresponding to the variation pattern determined to determine the variation pattern in the variation timer (step S150). As a result, the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 performs the variation display control of the first special symbol for the variation time determined in this way, and the effect display device 1600 is synchronized with the variation display of the special symbol. Production control is performed at.

  A plurality of types of variation pattern tables are provided for each determination result based on special random numbers (first special random numbers, second special random numbers) and design random numbers (first design random numbers, second design random numbers). The variation patterns set in each variation pattern table include a plurality of variation time information indicating predetermined times (variation times) required for variation display control of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol). Each variable random number is stored in association with each other. Therefore, the main control MPU selects the selected variation pattern table from the plurality of types of variation pattern tables corresponding to the determination result based on the special random number and the design random number, and the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process. And the fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number is obtained from this table, thereby determining the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). As a result, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The variation pattern table is stored in the main control built-in ROM.

  Further, the variation pattern table at the time of reach in this example is set so as to determine the type of reach effect to be executed by comparing a determination value indicating which reach effect is to be executed with a variable random number. . For example, 164 kinds of random numbers among 241 kinds of random numbers are set as determination values (0 to 163) indicating that any one of the normal reach effects is executed, and 59 kinds of random numbers are super reach with a low expectation degree of jackpot Determination values (223 to 240) are set as determination values (164 to 222) indicating that any one of the effects is to be executed, and 18 kinds of variable random numbers are to execute any one of the super reach effects having a high expectation degree of jackpot. ) Is set. Super-reach production has a higher expectation of jackpot than normal reach production, and for players who want to generate a big hit game, the player's expectation for the big hit game will increase when the super reach production is executed It has become.

  In the variation pattern table of this example, 13 to 60 seconds is set as the variation time corresponding to the first special random number in the non-short-time state, and 4 to 60 seconds is set in the short-time state. As the corresponding variation time, 13 to 60 seconds are set in the non-short-time state, and 2 to 60 seconds are set in the time-short state.

  When the variable display control of the first special symbol is started, it is next determined as a process of step S151 whether or not the counter value of the short time counter where the number of times of the short time state is set is “0”. If the counter value is not “0”, the time counter is counted down (step S152), and it is further determined whether the counter value of the simultaneous short counter is “0” (step S153). . As a result, if the counter value is “0”, a time reduction end flag indicating that the time reduction control is ended is set (step S154).

  If it is determined in the process of step S151 that the counter value of the time reduction counter is “0”, or if it is determined in the process of step S153 that the time reduction counter is not “0”, Then, the process proceeds to step S155. Then, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the first special symbol variation processing (step S83) (step S155), the processing is terminated.

  FIG. 137 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol variation process (step S83).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 137, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs step S171. As the process, 1 is subtracted from the variation timer in which the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S82) for the variation pattern is set. If it is determined that the variation time timer is 0, that is, the lottery variation time has elapsed (step S172), the process proceeds to step S173. That is, in the process of step S173, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop process (step S84), this process is terminated.

  FIG. 138 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 138, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs step S181. As the process of the above, the display control for displaying the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed, and the effect display device 1600 has the second control. A stop display command for instructing the derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol of one special symbol is set as a command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S182).

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 resets the time reduction end flag (step S184) and resets the time reduction flag (step S185) when the time reduction end flag is set (step S183). As a result, the time-shortening control is terminated when a predetermined number of times (in this example, 100 times, 1 time, 5 times) of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed. The control of the non-short-time state is started.

  Further, when the big hit flag is set (step S186), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 sets a big hit start command indicating that the big hit game is started (step S187). The waiting time until the start (time for displaying that the big hit game is started) is set in the interval timer (step S188). Although not shown, in step S188, processing for setting the number of rounds corresponding to the type of jackpot to a jackpot counter indicating the remaining number of rounds is also executed. The big hit number counter is decremented by one for each round execution in the big hit control process described later, and when the big hit number counter becomes “0”, it is determined that the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has executed the prescribed round number. And control to end the jackpot game. Specifically, in the big hit control process described later, until the big hit number counter reaches “0”, the big prize opening opening pre-processing (step S91) and the big prize opening open process (step S92) are repeatedly executed to win the big prize. When the round is ended in the open mouth process (step S92), the big hit number counter is decremented by 1 and becomes “0”. Then, the process proceeds to the big open mouth opening post process (step S93) and the big hit game is ended. The control to be executed is executed.

  Then, a big hit execution flag indicating that the big hit game is being executed is set (step S189). The jackpot start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is prepared individually according to the type of jackpot. In step S187, a big hit start command (14R short hit big hit A start command, 5R short hit big hit A start command) corresponding to the big hit type (A short hit big hit at 14R, 5A short hit big hit at 5R) is set. Thereby, the effect of the big hit game according to the type of the big hit instructed by the big hit start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like. Also, in the second special symbol stop process of the second special symbol process, a big hit start command (14R short / big hit B start command, 5R short / big hit per B start) according to the type of big hit (14R hour short hit B, 5R short hit big hit B) Command).

  Further, the big hit running flag indicating that the big hit game is being executed, when the big hit game is ended, specifically, in the big winning opening opening post-processing (step S93) of the big hit control processing (step S40). Opening / closing control of the first grand prize opening 2005 according to the type (for example, after the first big prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or ten game balls B are won in the first big prize opening 2005. Is detected when the first count sensor 2512 detects that the opening / closing pattern is closed 14 times or 5 times (opening / closing control that repeats the opening / closing pattern), and is reset (all rounds that can be executed in the big hit game). When the big hit execution flag is reset, the big hit control process (step S40) is not executed in step S35 of the special symbol process (step S14), while in the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 The variable display of the first special symbol and the variable display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 can be executed.

  When the big hit flag is not set (step S186), if the small hit flag is set (step S190), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 indicates that the small hit game is started. A small hit start command is set (step S191), and a waiting time until the start of the small hit game (time for displaying that the small hit game is started) is set in the interval timer (step S192). Then, a small hitting execution flag indicating that the small hitting game is being executed is set (step S193). The small hit start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is prepared individually according to the type of the small hit. In step S191, a small hit start command (5R small hit A1 start command, 5R small hit A2 start command, 14R small hit A, 5R small hit A1, 5R small hit A2, 14R small hit A) A start command) is set. Thereby, the effect of the small hit game according to the type of the small hit specified by the small hit start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like. In the second special symbol stop process of the second special symbol process, a small hit start command (5R small hit B1) according to the type of small hit (5R small hit B1, 5R small hit B2, 14R small hit B). Start command, 5R small hit B2 start command, 14R small hit B start command).

  Further, the small hitting execution flag indicating that the small hit game is being executed, when the small hit game is finished, specifically, the small hit control process (step S41) described later (step S401). ), The opening / closing control of the first big prize opening 2005 according to the type of the small hit (for example, after the first big prize opening 2005 is opened (for example, 1.8 seconds), or 10 game balls B are placed in the first big prize opening 2005. It is reset when the first count sensor 2512 detects that an individual winning has been completed and the closing control is closed. When the small hitting execution flag is reset, the small hit control process (step S41) is not executed in step S36 of the special symbol process (step S14), while the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed. The variable display of the first special symbol on the device and the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 can be executed.

  When the small hit flag is not set, that is, when the game is lost, the interval time is set in the interval timer until the next special symbol change display is started (the time during which the special symbol stop symbol is displayed). (Step S194), the process proceeds to Step S195.

  When the processing of step S186 to step S194 is executed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 updates the first special symbol process flag so that the process shifts to the first special symbol normal processing which is an initial value. (Step S195), the process is terminated.

    FIG. 139 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the jackpot control process (step S40). In the big hit control process, one of the following three process processes is selectively executed according to the big hit process flag.

1. The peripheral control board 1510 notifies the player that the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) is changed to the big hit game based on the fact that the display mode when the variable display is stopped is the big hit symbol. Waiting until the next round is started, or waiting until the next round starts (step S91)
2. Based on the fact that the special symbol variation display stop mode has become a big hit symbol, the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are controlled to be opened, or the next round is started. The first grand prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are controlled to be opened, and the first grand prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or after the first Processing for opening a big prize opening to be closed when the first count sensor 2512 or the second count sensor 2513 detects that ten game balls B have won the big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 (step S92)
3. The big winning opening opening post-process that waits until the peripheral control board 1510 notifies the player that the big hit game is over when all rounds are over (step S93).

  The jackpot process flag is operated to indicate that the pre-opening process for the big winning opening (step S91) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 126). Further, in the process for opening the big prize opening (step S92), a big hit round start command corresponding to the number of rounds is issued at the start of the round for controlling the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 to the open state. At the end of the round for controlling the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 to the closed state, a big hit round end command corresponding to the number of rounds is set. The jackpot round start command and jackpot round end command are commands transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and a jackpot game effect according to the number of rounds designated by the jackpot round start command and jackpot round end command is displayed. It is executed by a device 1600, a lamp / LED, a speaker, and the like.

  FIG. 140 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the small hitting control process (step S41). In the small hit process, one of the following two process processes is selectively executed according to the small hit process flag.

1. Small hit start process for executing a setting process for starting a small hit game (step S400)
2. Small hit-medium processing for monitoring the entry and release time of the game ball B during the small hit game (step S401)

  The small hitting process flag is operated to indicate that the small hitting start process (step S400) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 126). In addition, when the entry of the game ball B into the specific area is detected in the small hit processing, the big hit execution flag is set and the number of rounds that can be executed in the big hit game corresponding to the type of the small hit (5R small) If the win is 4 rounds and 14R is a small hit, 13 rounds) are set in the big hit number counter, and the process is terminated. Thereby, the big hit game is started following the small hit game.

  FIG. 141 is a flowchart showing a procedure for the normal symbol process (step S15).

  Now, in the process of step S801, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2301 is in the on state and the game ball B has passed through the gate unit 2003, as shown in FIG. In step S802, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs a gate-passing process such as acquiring a normal random number of normal symbols from the random number counter and storing it in the normal symbol storage area of the RAM. Run.

  Next, in the normal symbol process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag.

1. A normal symbol normal process in which a normal random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU is read out, and a lottery process for the display mode at the time of stopping the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is performed based on the read normal random number (step S803).
2. Normal symbol variation pattern determination processing (step S804) in which a lottery process or the like is performed on the variation pattern (variation time) of the ordinary symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display of the function display unit 1400 based on the ordinary symbol random number.
3. Normal symbol variation processing that waits until the variation display of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped (step S805).
4). The normal symbol display mode of the function display unit 1400 displays the normal symbol variation control mode determined based on the result of the lottery process for the normal symbol variation control stop mode. Normal symbol stop processing for stopping the variable display of symbols (step S806)
5. When the result of the lottery process for the mode at the time of stopping the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is a mode suggesting “per game”, a process for controlling the game ball B to be received at the second starting port 2004 is performed. Normal electric accessory release process to be executed (step S807)

  The normal symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the normal symbol normal process (step S803) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 126).

  FIG. 142 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the gate section passage processing (step S802).

  Now, in the process of step S801, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2301 is in an on state and the game ball B has passed to the gate unit 2003, as shown in FIG. In step S811, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first obtains the counter value by the normal hold number counter indicating the number of normal random numbers stored in the normal symbol hold storage area from the RAM of the main control MPU. . Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved symbols of the normal symbol is “4” which is the maximum value.

  In the process of step S811, when it is determined that the number of stored normal symbol symbols is not the maximum value, the following steps S812 to S814 are performed to newly put the normal symbol variable display control into the held state. Will be processed. That is, first, as the processing of step S812, the normal holding number counter is incremented (added by 1). In step S813, the normal random number and the normal variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, in step S814, each random number obtained in this way is stored in the normal symbol storage area corresponding to the counter value by the normal reservation counter in the RAM area of the main control MPU.

  However, if it is determined in the process of step S811 that the number of stored normal symbols is the maximum value, the normal symbol variation display control is not newly held. That is, by not executing the processing of steps S812 to S814 (not acquiring the normal random number and the normal variable random number from the random number counter), the normal symbol variable display control is not newly put on hold.

  In addition, as a gate part passage process (step S802), you may make it like another example described below. For example, if the detection signal from the gate sensor 2301 is on and it is determined that the game ball B has passed through the gate unit 2003, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 firstly The ordinary random number and the usual variable random number are acquired from the random number counter and stored in the temporary storage area. After that, the counter value by the above-mentioned normal holding number counter is obtained from the RAM of the main control MPU, and based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the holding number of normal symbols is “4” which is the maximum value. Do. When it is determined that the number of stored normal symbols is not the maximum value, the normal number of counters is incremented (add 1) so that the variable symbol display control of the normal symbols is newly held. Next, the previously obtained ordinary random number, the ordinary variable random number (the ordinary random number, the ordinary variable random number stored in the temporary storage area) are stored in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU. Are stored in the normal symbol holding storage area corresponding to the counter value of the normal holding number counter. On the other hand, as a result of obtaining the counter value by the normal reserved number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU, when it is determined that this counter value is “4” which is the maximum value (the number of reserved symbols of the normal symbol is If it is the maximum value), the previously acquired ordinary random number and the ordinary figure variable random number are discarded without being stored in the ordinary symbol holding storage area, and the obtained ordinary symbol fluctuation display control is newly performed. It is good also as preventing it from being suspended.

  FIG. 143 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the normal symbol normal process (step S803).

  When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol normal process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 143, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs the process of step S821. It is determined whether or not there is a variable display control of the normal symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the normal hold number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is the variable display control of the normal symbol in the hold state, the normal symbol stored in the normal symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU is then processed as step S822. The random number stored in the earliest storage area among the random numbers related to the symbol display mode (for example, ordinary random numbers, ordinary variable random numbers) is read from the RAM. Then, as the processing of steps S823 and S824, the normal reserved number counter is counted down, and when the variable symbol variable display stored in each storage area of the main control MPU RAM is stopped. The random number (ordinary random number, ordinary variable random number) related to the display mode is shifted in a first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

  Specifically, the normal symbol holding storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4, and the random numbers extracted in accordance with the passage of the game ball B to the gate unit 2003 are counted from the first (first) area. Store in order. When random numbers are stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area and the game ball B passes through the gate unit 2003, the random numbers extracted to the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area And when the variable display start condition based on the random number stored in the first storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read and the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage is read out. Various random numbers stored in the area are moved to the (N−1) th (N = 2 to 4) th storage area. Thereby, the order in which the suspension of the variable symbol display control of the normal symbol occurs can be stored in an identifiable manner, and the suspension of the variable symbol control can be released in order from the earliest suspension (the first occurrence). .

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 compares the common figure determination table shown in FIG. 144 (A) with the ordinary random number read in step S822 (step S828).

  144A is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU. Then, in the per-standard-judgment determination table that is referred to for comparison with the normal random numbers, the above-mentioned normal random numbers are set so that all ten types of normal random numbers coincide with the per-standard-judgment determination value indicating that the common-rank is won. Is associated. In other words, in this example, when the game ball B passes through the gate part 2003, the winning combination is always won.

  When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 compares the normal symbol determination table with the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal processing and determines that it is normal symbol (step S829), A universal symbol flag indicating that the variation is won per universal symbol is set (step S830), and the normal symbol variation control stop mode (ordinary symbol stop symbol) is determined as the regular symbol symbol. (Step S831). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S829 that the normal symbol is not hit, the normal symbol losing symbol is determined as the mode (the normal symbol stop symbol) when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped (step S833).

  Then, after the lottery process for the normal symbol is performed in this way, as the process of step S834, the lottery result (indicating either one of the usual symbols or the loss) is sent to the peripheral control board 1510. Sets the common figure determination result notification command corresponding to each result. After that, when the above-described normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the normal symbol variation pattern determination process (step S804) as the process of step S835, this process is terminated.

  FIG. 145 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the normal symbol variation pattern determination process (step S804). When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol variation pattern determination process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 145, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has the time flag set. If this is the case (step S841), the normal symbol variation pattern determination table for time reduction is selected (step S842), and if the time reduction flag is set (step S841), the normal symbol variation pattern determination table for non-time reduction is selected. (Step S843).

  Then, by comparing the selected ordinary symbol variation pattern determination table with the ordinary symbol variation random number read in step S822 of the ordinary symbol normal process, a variation pattern (ordinary symbol variation pattern) to be executed is determined (step S844). ), A normal symbol variation display command of the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 by setting a general symbol variation pattern command for notifying the peripheral control board 1510 of the start of the normal symbol variation with the determined normal symbol variation pattern. Is started (step S845).

  Further, when the main control MPU determines the usual figure fluctuation pattern, the main control MPU sets the usual figure fluctuation time corresponding to the decided common figure fluctuation pattern in the usual figure fluctuation timer (step S846). As a result, the effect control is performed on the normal symbol display (the normal symbol variation display) of the function display unit 1400 for the usual symbol variation time corresponding to the determined ordinary symbol variation pattern.

  Further, in the normal symbol variation pattern determination table for the non-short-time operation of this example, 20 seconds is set as the ordinary symbol variation time. On the other hand, the normal symbol variation pattern determination table for the short time in this example is 0.8 seconds as the normal symbol variation time so that the normal symbol variation time is shorter than the normal symbol variation pattern determination table for the non-temporal time variation. Is set. The normal symbol variation pattern determination table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU.

  When the normal symbol variation display control is started, when the above-described normal symbol process flag is updated so as to shift to the normal symbol variation processing (step S805) as the processing of step S847, The process ends.

  FIG. 146 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the normal symbol variation process (step S805). When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol variation process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 146, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs the process of step S851. In step S846, the normal time change timer set with the normal time change time is decremented by one. If it is determined that the normal symbol variation time timer is 0, that is, that the variation time of the normal symbol has elapsed (step S852), the process proceeds to step S853. That is, in the process of step S853, when the normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop process (step S806), this process is terminated.

  FIG. 147 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the normal symbol stop process (step S806).

  When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol stop process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 147, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs the process of step S861. The display control for displaying the stop symbol of the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol normal processing on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed, and the derivation display of the stop symbol of the first special symbol is notified. The usual stop display command is set as a command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S862).

  Next, when the above-mentioned normal winning flag is set (step S863), the second starting port corresponding to the current gaming state is determined using the normal winning time opening pattern table shown in FIG. 144 (B). A release pattern 2004 is set (step S864).

  Specifically, if the second start port 2004 is controlled to be in a non-time-short state at the start of opening, the open pattern A is set as the open pattern of the second start port 2004. That is, if the second start port 2004 is controlled to be in a non-time-saving state at the start of opening, the second start port 2004 is opened and closed when a lottery result based on a normal drawing is obtained by a lottery based on a normal random number. An opening pattern A in which the start port solenoid 2514 is turned on and the second start port 2004 opens and closes in a short open mode (in this example, 0.05 seconds) is executed. Thereby, when the opening pattern A is executed as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004, the time for the second starting port 2004 to open is short, and the game ball is in a state where the second starting port 2004 is in the open state. Is difficult to enter. In other words, even when the second start port 2004 is opened and closed during the non-time-short state, the game ball hardly enters.

  On the other hand, if the opening time of the second start port 2004 is controlled to be in a short time state, the open pattern B is set as the open pattern of the second start port 2004. That is, if the second start port 2004 is controlled to be in a non-time-saving state at the start of opening, the second start port 2004 is opened and closed when a lottery result based on a normal drawing is obtained by a lottery based on a normal random number. The opening pattern B in which the start opening solenoid 2514 is turned on and the second start opening 2004 is opened and closed in a long open mode (1.5 seconds in this example) is executed. As a result, when the opening pattern B is executed as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004, it takes a long time for the second starting port 2004 to perform the opening operation, and when the second starting port 2004 is in the open state, the game ball Can enter the ball.

  When the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004 is set, next, as a process of step S885, a start command per game showing that the game per game is started is set, and the normal symbol process flag is set to the normal electric accessory. When the process is updated so as to shift to the release process (step S866), this process ends. Note that the start-per-common-command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and the effect of the per-normal-game game in accordance with the type of per-normal instructed by the start per-multi-command is displayed on the effect display device 1600, It can be executed by a lamp, LED, speaker, or the like.

  In addition, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has updated the normal symbol process flag so that the process is shifted to the normal symbol normal process which is the initial value when the universal symbol flag is not set in step S864. At this point (step S868), this process ends.

  FIG. 148 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the ordinary electric accessory release process (step S807).

  If it is determined in step S871 that the second start port 2004 is in the open state, as shown in FIG. 148, the main control board 1310 has a main control board 1310 as shown in FIG. If the predetermined time (the opening time of the second starting port 2004 in the opening pattern set in step S865) has elapsed since the control MPU controlled the second starting port 2004 to the open state (step S872), the control MPU When the start port solenoid 2514 for opening and closing the start port 2004 is turned off and the second start port 2004 is controlled to be closed (step S873), this process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S871 that the second start port 2004 is in the closed state, as shown in FIG. 148, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has the second start port 2004. Is the timing for opening the second start port 2004 (step S874), the start port solenoid 2514 for opening and closing the second start port 2004 is turned on to control the second start port 2004 to the open state (step S875). The process ends.

  If it is not time to open the second start port 2004 in the process of step S871, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 opens the second start port 2004 as shown in FIG. When the number of times reaches a predetermined number (the number of times of opening of the second start port 2004 in the opening pattern set in step S865) (step S876), an end command per command is set (step S877). Then, when the normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the normal symbol normal processing which is the initial value (step S878), this processing is ended. Note that the per-game end command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. When the peripheral control board 1510 receives the end-per-map command, the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, etc. Can be terminated.

[9-2. Fluctuation control at the end of short-time control]
As described above, the second start port 2004 is controlled to open and close in the time-short state with an opening pattern different from the non-time-short state. In other words, if the normal symbol change executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 stops, if the time is short, the second start port 2004 with the opening pattern A in the short release mode (0.05 seconds in this example). When the normal symbol change executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 stops, if it is in a non-time-short state, the release pattern B in the long release mode (1.5 seconds in this example) The starting port 2004 is opened and closed.

  Thus, in order to change the opening pattern of the second start port 2004 on the basis of when the normal symbol change executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped, immediately before the time reduction state ends (for example, the number of time reductions) In the case of the short time state A of 100 times, the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 in the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) in the short time state immediately before the 100th variation display stops, etc. When the normal symbol variation executed in step 1 stops and the second start port 2004 is opened and closed, the second start port 2004 is opened and closed with the open pattern B of the long open mode (1.5 seconds in this example) as the short-time state. Will be. In addition, when the time-short state ends after the second start port 2004 is opened, there is a possibility that the player may feel uncomfortable because the opening pattern in the time-short state is executed even though the time-short state has ended. In addition, there may be a case where a start winning to the second start opening 2004 occurs at an unexpected time such as after a symbol change is started in a non-time reduction state after the completion of the time reduction state, which is not intended by the game designer. Behavior (In the non-time-short state, the first special symbol variation display is mainly executed and the second special symbol variation display is hardly executed. The start-up prize is generated and the variation display of the second special symbol is executed), and the player feels uncomfortable because of the behavior, and there is a possibility that the gaming interest will be lowered.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the special symbol that is variably displayed on the special symbol display (the first special symbol display, the second special symbol display) of the function display unit 1400 is stopped at the lost symbol (for example, the first special symbol display) Step S194 of one special symbol stop process), normally, “0.5 seconds” is set in the interval timer as the waiting time (the time during which the special symbol stop symbol is displayed) until the next special symbol variation display is started. set. As described above, the interval timer is referred to in the first special symbol process (step S28) and the second special symbol process (step S39), and until the interval timer times out, the special symbol indicator (second symbol) of the function display unit 1400 is displayed. Control is performed so that the variable display of the special symbols (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) in the one special symbol indicator and the second special symbol indicator is not started.

  In addition, when the time-shortening state ends, that is, when the symbol variation of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) after the big hit game reaches the number of time-shortenings and the symbol variation stops (time-shortening) When the last symbol variation in the state is stopped), the interval timer is set to “2 seconds” as the waiting time until the next special symbol variation display is started (the time during which the special symbol suspension symbol is displayed). set. As described above, in the short time state, after the second start port 2004 is changed to the open state, the second start port 2004 is changed to the closed state when 1.5 seconds have elapsed. Therefore, by setting “2 seconds” to the interval timer when the last symbol change in the time-saving state stops and ends the time-saving state, the symbol change of the special symbol in the non-time-saving state is started The two start ports 2004 can be changed to the closed state, and thereby, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the start winning to the second start port 2004 after the change of the special symbol in the non-time-short state is started.

  It should be noted that the period set in the interval timer when the last symbol variation in the time reduction state stops and ends the time reduction state is at least equal to the opening time of the second start port 2004 in the time reduction state (in this example, “1.5 Seconds ") or more. In addition, if the second start port 2004 does not change to the open state when the last symbol variation in the time reduction state stops and ends the time reduction state, it is normal as a waiting time until the next special symbol variation display is started. A time similar to (in this example, “0.5 seconds”) may be set.

  In this way, when the final special lottery result in the short-time state is derived (when the last symbol variation in the short-time state stops), regardless of the presence or absence of the first holding number and the second holding number, By controlling the execution of the next special lottery (winning judgment), the time-saving control that can be continued after the last special lottery result in the short-time state is derived (after the last symbol variation in the short-time state stops) Can be terminated within the predetermined period, and an increase in the number of second reservations after the end of the time-saving control can be suppressed. As a result, the game progresses in an unintended behavior of the game designer that the start winning to the second start port 2004 occurs and the variation display of the second special symbol is executed in spite of the non-time saving state. Since it is possible to suitably achieve the progress of the game in the behavior intended by the game designer (the game nature intended by the game designer), it is possible to suppress a decrease in the gaming interest by not giving the player a sense of incongruity. .

  In the above-described example, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol variation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped (determination as to whether or not to end the short-time state). Although what is performed as a reference is shown, when the normal symbol variation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is started to determine whether or not the time is short (for example, the normal symbol normal process (step S803) described above) Or when the normal symbol variation pattern determination process (S804) is executed). In this case, at least the fluctuation time of the normal symbol change executed in the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 during the time reduction state (ordinary symbol change time: “0.8 seconds” in this example), The opening time of the second start port 2004 (in this example, “1.5 seconds”) may be equal to or longer than the total period (in this example, “2.3 seconds”).

[10. Peripheral control board control processing]
Next, various processes executed by the peripheral control IC 1510a included in the peripheral control board 1510 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 149 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the sub-main process executed by the peripheral control IC 1510a provided in the peripheral control board 1510 when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and FIG. 150 is provided in the peripheral control board 1510. FIG. 151 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the 16 mS steady process executed by the peripheral control IC 1510a, FIG. 151 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the effect control process executed by the peripheral control IC provided in the peripheral control board 1510, and FIG. FIG. 153 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a stored ball effect unit activation control process executed by the peripheral control IC, FIG. 153 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a stored ball count control process executed by the peripheral control IC, and FIG. IC FIG. 155 is a flowchart showing an example of a stored ball discharge effect execution start control process executed, FIG. 155 is a flowchart showing an example of a stored ball effect unit defect determination control process executed by the peripheral control IC, and FIG. It is a flowchart which shows an example of the storage ball production | presentation unit starting stop control process performed by IC.

[10-1. Sub-main processing]
As shown in FIG. 149, when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs an initial setting process (step S501). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing a RAM built in the peripheral control IC 1510a provided in the peripheral control board 1510 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 S501) is completed, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set is started (step S502).

  In this embodiment, the peripheral control IC 1510a 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, 16 mS has elapsed. While the flag T is set, processing for resetting (setting 0) the 16 mS progress monitoring counter is executed. As described above, 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 S502 (the 16 mS elapsed flag T is “1”), the 16 mS elapsed flag is reset (step S503), and then the 16 mS steady process is performed (step S504).

  In the 16 mS steady process, a process for controlling the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like is executed based on the command received from the main control board 1310. When the 16 mS steady process ends, the process returns to step S502 again, and every time the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set, that is, every 16 mS, the above steps S503 to S504 are repeated. On the other hand, if the 16 mS elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (the 16 mS elapsed flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set.

[10-2.16 ms steady processing]
Next, the 16 mS steady process will be described. As shown in FIG. 150, the peripheral control IC 1510a executes the processes of Steps S601 to S606. In the command analysis process in step S601, the command received from the main control board 1310 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the fact that the fluctuation pattern command transmitted by being set in the fluctuation pattern setting process (step S149 of the first fluctuation pattern setting process and step S149a of the second fluctuation pattern setting process) is received is received. Based on this, the control process related to the effect display device 1600 is executed.

  Moreover, in the sound control process of step S603, the control process regarding the speaker provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the lamp control process of step S604, a control process related to lamps / LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the information output process of step S605, a process of transmitting a lamp / LED lighting signal to the various decorative boards 184, 273, etc. is executed. In the random number update process of step S606, a process of updating random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

  In addition, the process of step S601-step S606 in a 16mS steady process is complete | finished 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 immediately started from the beginning when the 16 mS has passed since the start of the 16 mS steady process (command in step S601). Do not execute from analysis process. That is, when 16 mS elapses during execution of the 16 mS steady process, only the 16 mS elapse flag is set, and when it is determined in step S502 that the 16 mS elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 mS steady process, the 16 mS steady process is performed. To start.

  In this embodiment, the random number update process (step S606) 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 something For example, various random numbers may be updated in one or both of the loop process in the sub-main process and the 16 mS steady process.

[10-3. Production control processing]
Next, the effect control process will be described. As shown in FIG. 151, the peripheral control IC 1510a selectively executes one of the following five process processes according to the effect process flag indicating the progress of the game stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. It becomes.

1. Fluctuation pattern command (first variation pattern command for instructing variation pattern of first special symbol, second variation pattern command for instructing variation pattern of special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) analyzed by command analysis process above After performing processing for controlling the effect display device 1600, LED, speaker, etc. based on the second variation pattern command for instructing the variation pattern of the special symbol), the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the processing during variation effect. Change production start process to be changed (step S711)
2. The elapsed time since the start of the control of the effect display device 1600, the LED and the speaker 921, etc. is measured, and the processing for controlling the effect display device 1600, the LED, the speaker, etc. is performed according to the elapsed time, and the special design (first In the process of changing effects (step S712), the effect process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the change end process when the change time corresponding to the change pattern of the one special symbol and the second special symbol elapses.
3. A process for deriving and displaying a predetermined display result based on the reception of a stop display command for instructing to stop changing the display of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol). Changing the process flag to a value according to the variable effect start process, changing to a value corresponding to the big hit effect process if the big hit, changing to a value corresponding to the small hit effect process if the big hit (Step S713)
4). Based on the reception of the jackpot start command instructing the start of the jackpot game, the effect display device 1600 performs a process for executing display control during the jackpot game, and the effect process flag is changed when the jackpot game is ended. Big hit effect processing (step S714) to be changed to a value corresponding to the effect start processing
5. Based on the reception of the small hit start command for instructing the start of the small hit game, the effect display device 1600 performs processing for executing display control during the small hit game, and the second big prize opening during the small hit game If the game ball B accepted in 2006 is allocated to a specific area, the effect process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the big hit effect start process when the small hit game ends, and the game ball B is allocated to the specific area If not, the small hit effect process to change to a value corresponding to the variable effect start process (step S715)

  Special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) executed by the special symbol display (first special symbol display of function display unit 1400, second special symbol display of function display unit 1400) by the above processing. The decorative display variable display is executed on the effect display device 1600 in synchronization with the variable display.

[10-4. Storage ball production unit activation control process]
Next, the stored ball effect unit activation control process will be described with reference to FIG. This stored ball effect unit activation control process is performed as one process of the big hit effect process of step S714 in the effect control process of the 16 ms steady process described above.

  When the storage ball effect unit activation control process is started, the periphery control IC 1510a of the periphery control board 1510 determines whether or not the storage ball effect unit activation condition is satisfied as shown in FIG. 152 (step S1000). . The storage ball production unit activation condition is that a lottery based on the reception of game balls at the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 is won by winning a 14R hourly big hit, or a big hit game is being executed in a short time state. If the player wins the game, the player continues to make a right-hand hit and wins the 14R short-time jackpot by lottery of the second special symbol based on the reception of the game ball at the second starting port 2004. The determination result notification command corresponding to each of the lottery results is transmitted from the main control board 1310. The storage ball production unit activation condition is that the big hit game is continuously generated after the small hit game, and the player enters the first big winning opening 2005 and distributes it. A specific area entry command is transmitted from the main control board 1310 informing that the specific area sensor 2512a has detected a game ball that has been distributed to a specific area and received from the specific area and the discharge area by the member. In the determination in step S1000, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether the peripheral control IC 1510a has received from the main control board 1310 a determination result notification command or a specific area entry command corresponding to each of the lottery results.

  In the determination of step S1000, the peripheral control IC 1510a ends this routine as it is when it is determined that the determination result notification command or the specific area entry command corresponding to each of the lottery results has not been received from the main control board 1310. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1000 that the peripheral control IC 1510a has received a determination result notification command or a specific area entry command corresponding to each of the lottery results from the main control board 1310, the storage ball effect unit is activated. The flag SPU-FLG is set to 1 (step S1005). This stored ball effect unit activation flag SPU-FLG is set to a value of 1 when a stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 can be performed, and a value of 0 when a stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 cannot be performed. Is a flag that is set. The stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 is obtained by passing the game balls stored in the storage space 3415 in the ball storage unit 3420 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 through the outlet 3515 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the stored ball effect unit 3400. By discharging, an effect of a mode of paying out a predetermined number of game balls according to the number of balls discharged is executed. Even if the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 is not executed, the game balls stored in the storage space 3415 have already passed through the general winning port 2001a and the general winning port sensor 3001a provided in the stored ball effect unit 3400. Therefore, a payout command is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the payout control board 633 that the general winning opening sensor 3001a has been detected. In other words, the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 uses the game ball (so-called “dead ball”) that is no longer provided for payout, and the game ball stored in the storage space 3415 is stored in the ball discharge unit 3425. The game balls are discharged through the discharge port 3515, and a game ball having a predetermined number of balls according to the number of balls discharged is executed to the player. It is an attractive production that can provide players with the experience of being able to play.

  Subsequent to step S1005, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs control to move the ball storage plate 3490 in the ball storage unit 3420 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 from the original position to the operating position (step S1010). Specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a energizes the storage solenoid 3500 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 to place the ball storage plate 3490 from the original position to the operating position. At this time, the peripheral control IC 1510a does not energize the opening solenoid 3570 of the stored ball effect unit 3400, and puts the ball discharge plate 3505 in the ball discharge portion 3425 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 in the original position.

  Subsequent to step S1010, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs control to emit light in the storage space 3415 in the ball storage unit 3420 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 (step S1015). Specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a transmits the light emission mode defining data (serial data) to the storage space LED substrate 3545 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400. As a result, a plurality of LEDs 3540 (three full-color LEDs in the present embodiment) mounted on the storage space LED substrate 3545 are lit in a predetermined light emission mode to brightly illuminate the storage space 3415. At this time, the peripheral control IC 1510a transmits the light emission mode defining data (serial data) to the discharge space LED board 3560 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the stored ball effect unit 3400. As a result, the plurality of LEDs 3555 (in this embodiment, five full-color LEDs) mounted on the LED board 3560 for the discharge space are turned off, and the discharge space 3422 in the ball discharge portion 3425 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 is turned off. State.

  Subsequent to step S1015, the peripheral control IC 1510a sets an initial value 0 to the storage ball counter EBC (step S1020). When the game ball that has passed through the general winning opening 2001a provided in the stored ball effect unit 3400 is detected by the general winning opening sensor 3001a of the stored ball effect unit 3400, the peripheral control IC 1510a notifies the specific general winning port input command. As received from the main control board 1310. This storage ball counter EBC is a storage ball production unit based on a specific general winning entry entrance command received by the peripheral control IC 1510a from the main control board 1310 in a state where the storage ball production unit 3400 can perform the storage ball production. This is used to count the number of game balls that have passed through the general winning opening 2001a provided at 3400.

  Subsequent to step S1020, the peripheral control IC 1510a sets an initial value 0 to the stored ball discharge counter DBC (step S1025). The peripheral control IC 1510a counts the stored ball through the discharge port 3515 in the ball discharge portion 3425 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 through the general winning opening 2001a provided in the stored ball effect unit 3400. When detected by the sensor 3530, the fact is input as a detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530. In this storage ball discharge counter DBC, the peripheral control IC 1510a is provided in the storage ball effect unit 3400 based on the detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530 in a state where the storage ball effect can be performed by the storage ball effect unit 3400. The game balls stored in the storage space 3415 through the winning port 2001a are used to count the number of game balls discharged from the discharge port 3515 in the ball discharge unit 3425.

  Subsequent to step S1025, the peripheral control IC 1510a sets an initial value 0 to the failure determination flag ERR-FLG (step S1030), and ends this routine. The defect determination flag ERR-FLG monitors whether or not all the game balls stored in the storage space 3415 have been completely discharged from the storage space 3415 through the discharge port 3515 in the storage ball effect unit defect determination process described later. When the discharge is not completed, the value 1 is set as a problem has occurred in the storage ball effect unit 3400, and when the discharge has been completed, the value 0 is set as no problem has occurred in the storage ball effect unit 3400. Flag to be

  Unlike the main control MPU of the main control board 1310, the processing contents of the peripheral control IC 1510a are not backed up. For this reason, when a power failure occurs and power is restored, the peripheral control IC 1510a, in the initial setting of step S501 in the sub-main process described above, stores the value of the stored ball effect unit activation flag SPU-FLG, the value of the stored ball counter EBC, The value of the ball discharge counter DBC and the value of the failure determination flag ERR-FLG are all set to the initial value 0. Even if a power failure occurs and then the power is restored and this routine is started, as long as the determination result notification command and the specific area entry command corresponding to each of the lottery results described above cannot be received from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control IC 1510a Although it is not known what kind of big hit the big hit game immediately before the occurrence of the power failure occurs, by receiving the above-mentioned various entering commands from the main control board 1310 restored based on the backup information, The status of payout (prize ball status) can be grasped.

[10-5. Storage ball counting control process]
Next, the stored ball count control process will be described with reference to FIG. This stored ball count control process is performed as one process of the big hit effect process of step S714 in the effect control process of the 16 ms steady process described above.

  When the stored ball counting control process is started, the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 determines whether or not the value of the stored ball effect unit activation flag SPU-FLG is a value 1, as shown in FIG. (Step S1050). As described above, the stored ball effect unit activation flag SPU-FLG is set to 1 when the stored ball effect unit 3400 can perform the stored ball effect, and the stored ball effect unit 3400 performs the stored ball effect. This flag is set to a value of 0 when it is not possible.

  In the determination in step S1050, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the storage ball effect by the storage ball effect unit 3400 when it is determined that the value of the storage ball effect unit activation flag SPU-FLG is not the value 1 (when the value is 0). When it is determined that it cannot be performed, this routine is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1050 that the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the value of the stored ball effect unit activation flag SPU-FLG is value 1, that is, the stored ball effect unit 3400 can perform the stored ball effect. When the determination is made, it is determined whether or not a specific general winning opening entrance command has been received (step S1055). When the game ball that has passed through the general winning opening 2001a provided in the storage ball production unit 3400 is detected by the general winning opening sensor 3001a of the storage ball production unit 3400, this specific general winning opening entry command is controlled by the main control. This is a command transmitted from the board 1310.

  If it is determined in step S1055 that the peripheral control IC 1510a has not received a specific general winning opening entry command, the routine is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1055 that the peripheral control IC 1510a has received the specific general winning opening entry command, the peripheral control IC 1510a adds 1 to the stored ball counter EBC (increments, step S1060), and ends this routine. . As described above, the storage ball counter EBC is based on the specific general winning opening entrance command received by the peripheral control IC 1510a from the main control board 1310 in a state in which the storage ball effect can be performed by the storage ball effect unit 3400. This is used to count the number of game balls that have passed through the general winning opening 2001a provided in the storage ball production unit 3400.

[10-6. Storage ball discharge effect execution start control process]
Next, the stored ball discharge effect execution start control process will be described with reference to FIG. This storage ball discharge effect execution start control process is performed as one process of the big hit effect process of step S714 in the effect control process of the 16 ms steady process described above.

  When the storage ball discharge effect execution start control process is started, the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 determines whether or not the storage ball discharge timer TM is activated as shown in FIG. 154 (step S1100). . As described above, the storage space 3415 in the ball storage unit 3420 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 is designed to store up to 12 game balls. All of these 12 game balls flow from the storage space 3415 into the discharge space 3422 in the ball discharge portion 3425 of the storage ball production unit 3400, and add a margin to the expected discharge completion time to be discharged through the discharge port 3515. The storage ball discharge time is set in advance as the time. In this embodiment, 6 seconds is set as the expected discharge completion time, 4 seconds is set as the allowance time, and 10 seconds is set as the storage ball discharge time, which is calculated by adding the allowance time to the expected discharge completion time. The storage ball discharge timer TM measures whether or not the storage ball discharge time has arrived.

  When the peripheral control IC 1510a determines in step S1100 that the storage ball discharge timer TM has not been activated, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not the storage ball discharge effect execution start condition is satisfied (step S1105). The storage ball discharge effect execution start condition is a state in which a big hit game is being executed by winning a short hit at 14R by a lottery based on acceptance of game balls to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, or If you win in the short-time state, you can continue to hit the right and continue to the right to win the 14R short-time jackpot by the second special symbol drawing based on the acceptance of the game ball to the second starting port 2004. Or a state where the jackpot game is continuously executed after the end of the small hit game after winning the small hit game, 2 rounds, 4 rounds, 6 rounds, 8 rounds, 10 rounds, 12 rounds A command to start an even number round such as round or 14 rounds, and a command to start an even number round (a jackpot round start frame corresponding to the number of rounds) It sent a de) from the main control board 1310. In the determination in step S1105, it is determined whether or not the peripheral control IC 1510a has received a command for starting an even-numbered round (a big hit round start command corresponding to the number of rounds) from the main control board 1310.

  If it is determined in step S1105 that the peripheral control IC 1510a has not received a command for starting an even-numbered round (a big hit round start command corresponding to the number of rounds), this routine is terminated. On the other hand, in step S1105, when the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that a command for starting an even number round (a big hit round start command corresponding to the number of rounds) has been received, the value of the failure determination flag ERR-FLG is 1. It is determined whether or not there is (step S1110). As described above, the defect determination flag ERR-FLG is such that all the game balls stored in the storage space 3415 are completely discharged from the storage space 3415 through the discharge port 3515 in the storage ball effect unit defect determination process described later. When the discharge is not completed, the value 1 is set as the storage ball effect unit 3400 has a problem. When the discharge is completed, the storage ball effect unit 3400 has no problem. As a value 0 is set.

  In the determination in step S1110, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 when the value of the defect determination flag ERR-FLG is 1, that is, when a problem has occurred in the stored ball effect unit 3400. The substitute effect is advanced (step S1115), and this routine is finished as it is. As described above, the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 uses the game ball (so-called “dead ball”) that is no longer provided for paying out the game ball stored in the storage space 3415 as a ball discharge unit. An effect is produced in which the game balls are discharged through the discharge port 3515 of 3425 and a predetermined number of game balls according to the number of discharged balls are paid out to the player. In step S1115, since it is determined in step S1110 that a problem has occurred in the stored ball effect unit 3400, instead of executing the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400, A preliminary effect informing the increase (in other words, an effect commensurate with the stored ball effect by the storage ball effect unit 3400) is executed as an alternative effect of the stored ball effect unit 3400 and proceeds.

  On the other hand, in the determination in step S1110, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the stored ball effect is not generated when the value of the failure determination flag ERR-FLG is not 1 (ie, 0), that is, when there is no failure in the stored ball effect unit 3400. In order to start execution of the storage ball effect by the unit 3400, the storage ball discharge timer TM is activated (step S1120).

  Subsequent to step S1120, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs control to move the ball discharge plate 3505 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 from the original position to the operating position (step S1125). Specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a energizes the opening solenoid 3570 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 to place the ball discharge plate 3505 from the original position to the operating position. At this time, the peripheral control IC 1510a continues the state in which the storage solenoid 3500 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 is energized to place the ball storage plate 3490 at the operating position.

  Subsequent to step S1125, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs control to emit light in the discharge space 3422 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 (step S1130), and this routine is ended as it is. Specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a transmits the light emission mode defining data (serial data) to the LED board 3560 for the discharge space in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400. As a result, a plurality of LEDs 3555 (in this embodiment, five full-color LEDs) mounted on the LED board 3560 for the discharge space are turned on in a predetermined light emission mode so that the discharge space 3422 is illuminated brightly. At this time, the peripheral control IC 1510a transmits the light emission mode defining data (serial data) to the storage space LED board 3545 in the ball discharge portion 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400. Accordingly, a plurality of LEDs 3540 (three full-color LEDs in the present embodiment) mounted on the storage space LED substrate 3545 are lit in a predetermined light emission mode and the storage space 3415 is brightly illuminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1100 that the storage ball discharge timer TM is activated, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether there is a detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530 (step S1135). The storage ball count sensor 3530 detects a game ball that flows from the storage space 3415 into the discharge space 3422 and passes through the discharge port 3515. When the detection result based on the detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530 is in the ON state, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that one game ball has passed, while the detection based on the detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530 When the result is in the off state, it is determined that the game ball has not passed.

  In the determination in step S1135, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that one game ball has passed when the detection result based on the detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530 is in the on state, and sets the value in the storage ball discharge counter DBC. 1 is added (increment, step S1140). As described above, the storage ball discharge counter DBC is in a state where the storage ball effect unit 3400 can perform the storage ball effect, and the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the storage ball effect unit based on the detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530. The game balls stored in the storage space 3415 through the general winning opening 2001a provided at 3400 are used to count the number of game balls discharged from the discharge port 3515 in the ball discharge unit 3425.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S1135, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the game ball has not passed when the detection result based on the detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530 is in the off state, or continues to step S1140. Then, the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 is advanced (step S1145). Here, the game ball stored in the storage space 3415 is discharged through the discharge port 3515 of the ball discharge unit 3425 by using the game ball (so-called “dead ball”) that is no longer provided for payout. Then, an effect of a mode of paying out a game ball of a predetermined number of balls according to the number of discharged balls to the player proceeds.

  Subsequent to step S1145, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not the storage ball discharge time has elapsed (step S1150). In this determination, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not the storage ball discharge time has arrived based on the time measured by the storage ball discharge timer TM. As described above, the storage ball discharge time is set to 10 seconds obtained by adding a margin time (4 seconds) to the discharge completion expected time (6 seconds).

  In the determination in step S1150, the peripheral control IC 1510a terminates this routine as it is when the storage ball discharge time has not come based on the time measured by the storage ball discharge timer TM, whereas in the determination in step S1150, the peripheral control IC 1510a When the storage ball discharge time has arrived based on the time measured by the storage ball discharge timer TM, the storage ball discharge timer TM is stopped and initialized, and the ball discharge plate 3505 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 is operated. Control to move from the position to the original position is performed (step S1155). Specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a stops the energized state of the opening solenoid 3570 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 and sets the ball discharge plate 3505 from the operating position to the original position. At this time, the peripheral control IC 1510a continues the state in which the storage solenoid 3500 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 is energized to place the ball storage plate 3490 at the operating position.

  Subsequent to step S1155, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs control to turn off the discharge space 3422 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 (step S1160). Specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a transmits the light emission mode defining data (serial data) to the LED board 3560 for the discharge space in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400. Accordingly, the plurality of LEDs 3555 (five full-color LEDs in the present embodiment) mounted on the discharge space LED substrate 3560 are turned off, and the discharge space 3422 is turned off. At this time, the peripheral control IC 1510a transmits the light emission mode defining data (serial data) to the storage space LED board 3545 in the ball discharge portion 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400. Accordingly, a plurality of LEDs 3540 (three full-color LEDs in the present embodiment) mounted on the storage space LED substrate 3545 are lit in a predetermined light emission mode and the storage space 3415 is brightly illuminated.

  Subsequent to step S1160, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a storage ball effect unit defect determination control process (step S1165), and ends the present routine as it is. A detailed description of the stored ball effect unit defect determination control process will be described later, but it is monitored whether or not all game balls stored in the storage space 3415 have been discharged from the storage space 3415 through the discharge port 3515. And it is a process which determines the presence or absence of the malfunction of the storage ball production | presentation unit 3400.

[10-7. Storage ball production unit defect determination control process]
Next, the stored ball effect unit defect determination control process will be described with reference to FIG. This stored ball effect unit defect determination control process is performed as the process of step S1165 in the above-described stored ball discharge effect execution start control process.

  When the storage ball effect unit defect determination control process is started, the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 matches the value of the storage ball counter EBC with the value of the storage ball discharge counter DBC as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not there is (step S1200). As described above, the storage ball counter EBC is in a state where the storage ball effect by the storage ball effect unit 3400 can be performed, based on the specific general winning opening entrance command received by the peripheral control IC 1510a from the main control board 1310. This is used to count the number of game balls that have passed through the general winning opening 2001a provided in the stored ball effect unit 3400. On the other hand, the storage ball discharge counter DBC is based on the detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530 in the state where the storage ball effect unit 3400 can perform the storage ball effect as described above. The game balls stored in the storage space 3415 through the general winning opening 2001a provided in the storage ball effect unit 3400 are used to count the number of game balls discharged from the discharge port 3515 in the ball discharge unit 3425. Is. Therefore, the stored ball discharge counter that is counted based on the value of the stored ball counter EBC that is counted based on the specific general winning opening entrance command received from the main control board 1310 and the detection signal from the stored ball count sensor 3530. The value of DBC usually matches.

  However, if a malfunction occurs in the general winning opening sensor 3001a that detects a game ball that has passed through the general winning opening 2001a provided in the storage ball effect unit 3400, it is impossible to accurately detect the passing game ball. Thereby, for example, when it is impossible to convey the fact as a detection signal to the main control board 1310 even though the game ball has passed, the fact that the game ball has not passed is detected. The signal may be transmitted to the main control board 1310 as a signal. In addition, a storage ball count sensor 3530 that detects the number of game balls discharged from the discharge port 3515 in the ball discharge unit 3425 by the game balls stored in the storage space 3415 through the general winning opening 2001a provided in the storage ball effect unit 3400. If a failure occurs, it becomes impossible to accurately detect the game balls to be discharged. Thus, for example, if the game ball is discharged but it is not possible to convey the fact as a detection signal to the peripheral control board 1510, the game ball is not discharged but the game ball is discharged. May be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as a detection signal. In addition, when there is a problem that the ball discharge plate 3505 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 cannot move from the original position to the operating position, the game ball stored in the storage space 3415 is a ball. The stored ball count sensor 3530 cannot detect the number of game balls discharged from the discharge port 3515 in the ball discharge unit 3425 without being able to flow into the discharge space 3422 of the discharge unit 3425.

  When such a problem occurs, the value of the stored ball discharge counter DBC and the value of the stored ball discharge counter DBC do not match and become inconsistent. In the determination of step S1200, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that no problem has occurred in the stored ball effect unit 3400 when the value of the stored ball discharge counter DBC matches the value of the stored ball discharge counter DBC, and stores the stored ball discharge counter DBC. When the value of the ball discharge counter DBC and the value of the stored ball discharge counter DBC do not match, it is determined that a problem has occurred in the stored ball effect unit 3400.

  In the determination in step S1200, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that there is no problem in the storage ball effect unit 3400 when the value of the storage ball discharge counter DBC matches the value of the storage ball discharge counter DBC. The determination flag ERR-FLG is set to 0 (step S1205), and this routine is finished as it is. In the determination of step S1200, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines the value of the storage ball discharge counter DBC and the value of the storage ball discharge counter DBC. Is not matched, it is determined that a problem has occurred in the stored ball effect unit 3400, a value 1 is set to the defect determination flag ERR-FLG (step S1210), and the ball storage unit 3420 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 The ball storage plate 3490 in the original position from the operating position Performs control movement (step S1215), the routine is ended as it is. As described above, the defect determination flag ERR-FLG is set to a value of 1 when a problem occurs in the stored ball effect unit 3400, and is set to a value of 0 when no error occurs in the stored ball effect unit 3400. Flag.

  In step S1215, specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a stops the state in which the storage solenoid 3500 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 is energized, and sets the ball storage plate 3490 from the operating position to the original position. At this time, the peripheral control IC 1510a stops the state in which the opening solenoid 3570 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 is energized and continues the state in which the ball discharge plate 3505 is placed in the original position.

  When the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the storage ball discharge time has arrived based on the time measured by the above-described storage ball discharge timer TM in the determination of step S1150 in the above-described storage ball discharge effect execution start control process, In the same processing, it is assumed that game balls stored in the storage space 3415 in the storage unit 3420 flow into the discharge space 3422 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 from the storage space 3415 and complete the discharge through the discharge port 3515. In the process of step S1155, control is performed to move the ball discharge plate 3505 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 from the operating position to the original position, and after the process of step S1160, the storage ball effect unit defect determination which is this routine is performed. Perform control processing. The peripheral control IC 1510a causes a problem in the stored ball effect unit 3400 when the value of the stored ball discharge counter DBC does not match the value of the stored ball discharge counter DBC in the determination in step S1200 in the stored ball effect unit defect determination control process. In the process of step S1210 in the process, the defect determination flag ERR-FLG is set to a value of 1, and in the process of step S1215 in the process, the ball storage plate in the ball storage unit 3420 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 Control is performed to move 3490 from the operating position to the original position.

  That is, in a state where a value of 1 is set in the failure determination flag ERR-FLG (a state where it is determined that a failure has occurred in the storage ball effect unit 3400), the ball discharge plate 3505 moves from the operating position to the original position. In addition, the ball storage plate 3490 is maintained from the operating position to the original position. As a result, the game ball that has passed through the storage passage 3465 in the storage portion 3420 of the storage ball presentation unit 3400 is not received by the upper surface of the ball storage plate 3490, and is directly directed to the ball discharge passage 3487 on the lower side wall of the ball storage portion 3420. A state of falling and being discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 through the substrate holder 1200 without being returned again to the game area 5a from the discharge port 3485 through the ball discharge passage 3487 and recovered to the island facility of the game hall. Become. Further, the peripheral control IC 1510a sets the value 1 to the failure determination flag ERR-FLG in the processing of the stored ball effect unit failure determination control processing step S1210, until the storage ball effect unit activation stop control process described later is performed. Each time the stored ball discharge effect execution start control process is started, it is determined that a problem has occurred in the stored ball effect unit 3400 in the determination of step S1110 in the process, and the stored ball discharge process is performed in step S1115 of the process. An alternate production of the production will proceed.

[10-8. Storage ball production unit activation stop control process]
Next, the stored ball effect unit activation stop control process will be described with reference to FIG. This storage ball effect unit activation stop control process is performed as one process of the big hit effect process of step S714 in the effect control process of the 16 ms steady process described above.

  When the storage ball effect unit activation stop control process is started, the periphery control IC 1510a of the periphery control board 1510 determines whether or not the storage ball effect unit activation stop condition is satisfied (step 156) (step 156). S1250). The storage ball production unit activation stop condition is a state in which a jackpot game is executed by winning the short jackpot at 14R (the jackpot game is continued and the jackpot game is executed after winning the jackpot game. In this case, the peripheral control board 1510 receives a command from the main control board 1310 and advances the presentation. In the determination in step S1250, the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not the peripheral control IC 1510a has received from the main control board 1310 a command for ending the state in which the above-described jackpot game is being executed. It should be noted that the state in which the big hit game is executed by winning the short jackpot at 14R (including the state in which the big hit game is continuously executed after winning the small hit game after winning the small hit game) is completed. The command to be performed may be a command for notifying the closed state from the opened state of the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 when the 14th round ends.

  If it is determined in step S1250 that the peripheral control IC 1510a has not received from the main control board 1310 a command for ending the state where the above-described jackpot game is being executed, this routine is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1250 that the peripheral control IC 1510a has received from the main control board 1310 a command for ending the state where the above-described jackpot game is being executed, the ball storage unit of the storage ball effect unit 3400 The ball storage plate 3490 in 3420 is controlled to move from the operating position to the original position, and the ball discharge plate 3505 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 is controlled to move from the operating position to the original position (step S1255). ). Specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a stops the energized state of the storage solenoid 3500 of the storage ball effect unit 3400 to place the ball storage plate 3490 from the operating position to the original position, and the storage ball effect unit. The state where the 3400 opening solenoid 3570 is energized is stopped and the ball discharge plate 3505 is placed from the operating position to the original position.

  Subsequent to step S1255, the peripheral control IC 1510a performs control to turn off the storage space 3415 in the ball storage unit 3420 of the storage ball production unit 3400, and turns off the discharge space 3422 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the storage ball production unit 3400. Control is performed (step S1260). Specifically, the peripheral control IC 1510a transmits the light emission mode defining data (serial data) to the storage space LED substrate 3545 in the sphere discharge unit 3425 of the storage sphere rendering unit 3400, and the sphere of the storage sphere rendering unit 3400. Light emission mode defining data (serial data) is transmitted to the LED board 3560 for the discharge space in the discharge unit 3425. As a result, the plurality of LEDs 3540 (three full-color LEDs in this embodiment) mounted on the storage space LED substrate 3545 are turned off and the storage space 3415 is turned off, and the discharge space LED substrate 3560 is turned off. A plurality of mounted LEDs 3555 (in this embodiment, five full-color LEDs) are turned off, and the discharge space 3422 in the ball discharge unit 3425 of the stored ball effect unit 3400 is turned off.

  Subsequent to step S1260, peripheral control IC 1510a sets initial value 0 to failure determination flag ERR-FLG (step S1265). As described above, the defect determination flag ERR-FLG is set to a value of 1 when a problem occurs in the stored ball effect unit 3400, and is set to a value of 0 when no error occurs in the stored ball effect unit 3400. Flag to be In the present embodiment, the peripheral control IC 1510a is not reflected in the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 in the process of step S1265 so that it is not reflected in the stored ball effect unit 3400 this time. The stored ball effect unit 3400 starts the stored ball effect by the above-described storage ball effect unit activation control processing, initializes the result of the occurrence of the defect in the stored ball effect unit 3400, and sets the initial value 0 to the defect determination flag ERR-FLG. It is a mechanism to set. That is, every time the stored ball effect unit 3400 starts the stored ball effect by the above-described stored ball effect unit activation control process, the storage ball effect unit 3400 is monitored for defects.

  Subsequent to step S1265, the peripheral control IC 1510a sets an initial value 0 to the stored ball effect unit activation flag SPU-FLG (step S1270), and ends this routine. As described above, the stored ball effect unit activation flag SPU-FLG is set to 1 when the stored ball effect unit 3400 can perform the stored ball effect, and the stored ball effect unit 3400 can perform the stored ball effect. This flag is set to 0 when it cannot. In step S1265, peripheral control IC 1510a sets a value of 0 (initial value 0) in storage ball effect unit activation flag SPU-FLG with a storage ball effect by next storage ball effect unit 3400.

[11. Example of production]
[11-1. Hold notice effect and hold change effect]
In the present embodiment, the hold display is displayed on the effect display device 1600 based on the hold number designation command transmitted from the main control board 1310. Until the hold display is consumed, the display mode of the hold display is displayed. Is changed, it is possible to execute a hold notice effect that suggests the degree of expectation of jackpot for the decorative symbol change display (special symbol change display) based on the hold display. Further, during the display period of the hold display, it is possible to execute a hold change effect that suggests the possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes.

  Specifically, a hold number designation command and a pre-determination command are transmitted from the main control board 1310 based on the winning of a game ball (a start condition is established) at the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004. . Then, in the peripheral control board 1510, when the pending number designation command and the advance determination command are received in the command analysis process of step S601, the pending number specified from the pending advance notice determination table corresponding to these commands, that is, the pending number designation command. (Pending memory count) and pre-determination information specified from the pre-determination command (big hit, small hit, reach lose, or lose) select the hold advance notice determination table, and the determination set in the hold advance notice determination table The type of the holding notice pattern set in the holding notice determination table is determined by comparing the value with the read random number for determining the notice of holding. In addition, in the hold notice determination table, the distribution of the judgment value for each hold notice pattern is different for each pre-judgment information specified by the pre-judgment command (either big hit, small hit, reach lose, or lose). The appearance rate of the notice pattern is different.

  Further, when a game ball wins (start condition is established) at the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004, the number of holds (the number of stored memories) specified from the hold number designation command is increased, thereby producing an effect display. One hold display is added to the device 1600 and displayed. On the other hand, when the decorative symbol variation display (special symbol variation display) based on the hold display is started (start condition is satisfied), the hold number (holding memory number) specified by the hold number designation command is decreased. Then, the hold display in the effect display device 1600 is erased. Then, during the display period from when the hold display is displayed on the effect display device 1600 until the hold display is erased, the display mode of the hold display is displayed based on the hold notice pattern. Each time the decorative symbol variation display (special symbol variation display) based on another hold display is started (start condition is satisfied), the display mode of the hold display can be changed. In this embodiment, when the decorative symbol variation display (special symbol variation display) based on the hold display is started (the start condition is satisfied), the hold display is deleted. Even after the start of variable display (variable display of special symbols), the hold display may be continuously displayed and the display mode of the hold display may be changeable. In such a case, the position at which the hold display is displayed on the effect display device 1600 moves before and after the start of the decorative symbol change display (special symbol change display) based on the hold display, in the same manner as other hold displays. In this case, it is possible to suggest a possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes due to the execution of a hold change effect (hold movement change effect, turn-off hold change effect, billiard hold change effect) described later.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 157 and 158, description will be given of a hold notice determination table in which a plurality of types of hold notice patterns are set for each hold number (hold number stored) specified by the hold number designation command. The pending notice determination table is stored in the ROM of the peripheral control board 1510. FIG. 157 (A) is a hold notice determination table used when hold 1 is lit (hold number = 1), and FIG. 157 (B) is a hold notice decision table used when hold 2 is lit (hold number = 2). 157 (C) is a hold notice determination table used when hold 3 is lit (hold number = 3), and FIG. 158 (D) is used when hold 4 is lit (hold number = 4). This is a pending notice determination table.

  As described above, a plurality of types of holding notice patterns are set in the holding notice determination table corresponding to the number of holds (the number of stored memories). It is set how the display mode of the hold display in the effect display device 1600 changes every time the hold storage is digested by the number of storages). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 157 (A), the display mode of the hold display on the effect display device 1600 may change in the hold notice determination table used when hold 1 is lit (the number of holds = 1). No (that is, only digesting the hold display) is associated with the hold notice pattern in which only the display mode of the hold display for one time is set. Further, as shown in FIG. 157 (B), in the hold notice determination table used when hold 2 is lit (hold number = 2), the display mode of the hold display can be changed once before the hold display is exhausted. For this reason, a hold notice pattern in which a display form of hold display for two times is set is associated. In addition, as shown in FIG. 157 (C), in the hold notice determination table used when hold 3 is lit (hold number = 3), the display mode of the hold display can be changed twice before the hold display is exhausted. For this reason, a hold notice pattern in which a display mode of hold display for three times is set is associated. Further, as shown in FIG. 158 (D), in the hold notice determination table used when hold 4 is lit (the number of holds = 4), the display mode of the hold display can be changed three times before the hold display is exhausted. For this reason, a hold notice pattern in which the display mode of hold display for four times is set is associated.

  Further, as the display mode of the hold display in the effect display device 1600 set to the hold notice pattern, four displays are displayed so that the hold display is displayed in one of white (basic color), blue, red, and rainbow color. An aspect is provided. Then, when determining the hold notice pattern from the hold notice determination table, as a result of the change of the display form of the hold display to the end, the expectation of jackpot is high in the order of white (basic color) → blue → red → rainbow color. It is set to be. That is, when the lottery result is identified as a big hit as the prior determination information, a hold notice pattern that has a high jackpot expectation display mode (for example, rainbow color) is determined with a high probability as a final hold display mode. When the lottery result is specified as the determination information, it is determined with a high probability a holding notice pattern that is a display mode (for example, white) with a low expectation degree of jackpot as the final holding display mode. Therefore, when the final hold display mode is displayed in a display mode with a high degree of jackpot expectation, the player's expectation for the jackpot game is increased.

  In the hold notice pattern, the display mode of the hold display does not change in the reverse order of the order of white → blue → red → rainbow color, and the display mode of the hold display is maintained when the hold display is digested. Alternatively, the next display mode is set to be a display mode with a high expectation degree of jackpot. For this reason, even if the display mode of the hold display is displayed in a display mode with a low jackpot expectation level, there is still a possibility of changing to a display mode with a high jackpot expectation level when digesting the hold display. The aspect can be noticed with expectation to the end.

  In addition, the hold notice pattern does not necessarily change in the order of blue → red → rainbow after the display mode of the hold display is displayed in white (basic color). Starting from a mode (for example, suddenly starts in rainbow color by the holding notice pattern number 4 when the hold 1 is lit), or changes to the next display mode by skipping one or more display modes (for example, when the hold 2 is lit) Is set to change from white (basic color) to rainbow color). For this reason, even if there are few opportunities (the number of holding | maintenances) that the display mode of a hold display changes, the display mode of a hold display can be displayed with a display mode with high expectation degree of jackpots. Moreover, even if the display mode of the hold display is displayed in a display mode with a low expectation degree of jackpot, it is not possible to predict which display mode the next display mode will change, and the display mode of the hold display until the end You can get attention with your expectations.

  Also, in the hold notice determination table, only when a jackpot is specified as pre-determination information from the pre-judgment command, a hold notice pattern that becomes a rainbow color as a final hold display display mode (hold notice pattern number when hold 1 is lit) 4. Hold advance notice pattern numbers 4, 7, 9, 10 when hold 2 is lit, hold advance notice pattern numbers 4 and 7 when hold 3 is lit, etc. Is set to be possible. For this reason, when the display mode of the hold display is displayed in rainbow color, it is determined that the lottery result will be a big hit when the hold display is digested, and the player's expectation for the big hit game is increased. .

  Also, in the hold notice determination table, when a loss is specified as the pre-determination information from the pre-judgment command, the hold notice pattern (when the hold 1 is lit) is displayed in white (basic color) or blue as the final hold display display mode. (Pending notice pattern numbers 1, 2 when hold 2 lights up, hold notice pattern numbers 1, 2 when hold 3 lights up, hold notice pattern numbers 1, 2 when hold 3 lights up, hold notice pattern numbers 1, 2 when hold 4 lights up, etc.) If the big hit, small hit, and reach are specified as the pre-determined information from the pre-determining command, the red-holding advance notice pattern (holding advance notice pattern when hold 1 is lit) will be displayed. Hold notice pattern when hold 4 lights, such as number 3, hold notice pattern numbers 3, 6, 8 when hold 2 lights, hold notice pattern numbers 3, 6 when hold 3 lights It is set to be able to determine the number 3,6, etc.). For this reason, when the display mode of the hold display is displayed in red, it is determined that the reach effect is executed at least when reaching the hold display, and the player's expectation for the big hit game or the small hit game is determined. Has come to increase.

  In the present embodiment, by determining the hold notice pattern at the start of display of the hold display, a series of contents in which the display mode of the hold display changes until the hold display is digested are determined. However, as the determination method, at the start of the display of the hold display, only the display mode of the hold display at the start and the display mode of the final hold display may be determined. And, when the display mode of the hold display at the start time and the display mode of the final hold display are different, at least the display mode of the final hold display before the target hold display is digested So that the display mode of the hold display changes every time when the timing at which the display mode of the hold display can change is reached. Even with such a determination method, the display mode of the hold display can be sequentially changed until the hold display in the effect display device 1600 is consumed.

  Next, a hold change effect that suggests a possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes during the hold display period will be described below. In the above-described hold notice effect, the display mode of the hold display can be changed every time the change display of the decorative symbol (the change display of the special symbol) is started (the start condition is satisfied) during the display period of the hold display. At the timing when the display mode of the hold display can be changed, the hold change effect suggesting the possibility that the display mode of the hold display is changed can be executed.

  Specifically, on the peripheral control board 1510, at the time when the decorative symbol variation display (special symbol variation display) starts (start condition is established), whether the display mode of the pending display changes based on the pending notice pattern By determining whether or not, selecting the hold change effect determination table corresponding to the determination result, and comparing the determination value set in the hold change effect determination table and the read random number for determining the hold change effect, The type of the hold change effect pattern set in the hold change effect determination table is determined. That is, whether or not to execute the hold change effect and, when executing the hold change effect, determine the type of the hold change effect.

  FIG. 159 is a hold change effect determination table used for determining the hold change effect pattern. As shown in FIG. 159, a plurality of types of hold change effect patterns are set in the hold change effect determination table, and the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 1) in which the hold change effect is not executed. Hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 2) for executing hold movement change effect as hold change effect, hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 3) for executing counter change change effect as hold change effect, hold change A hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 4) for executing a billiard hold change effect is set as an effect. The hold change effect determination table is stored in the ROM of the peripheral control board 1510. Moreover, in the hold change effect determination table, the distribution of the determination values for each of the hold change effect patterns (hold change effect pattern numbers 2 to 4) for executing the hold change effect is the same, and the appearance rate of each hold change effect is However, it is also possible to vary the distribution of the judgment values so that the appearance rates of the respective hold change effects differ.

  Further, in the hold change effect determination table used when it is determined that the display mode of the hold display changes, the determination value is distributed only to the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern numbers 2 to 4) for executing the hold change effect. On the other hand, in the hold change effect determination table used when it is determined that the display mode of the hold display does not change, most of the determination is made to the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 1) that does not execute the hold change effect. The value is distributed. Thus, when the display mode of the hold display changes, the hold change effect is always executed. When the hold change effect is executed, the display mode of the hold display changes with high probability. For this reason, it can be noted with an expectation whether or not the display mode of the hold display changes due to the execution of the hold change effect.

  In the present embodiment, the upper limit is four as the number of reservations (the number of stored storages), but the number of reservation displays corresponding to the number of reservations can be displayed at the four corners of the rectangular display area in the effect display device 1600. Specifically, when hold 1 (hold number = 1) is lit, the hold display is displayed at the lower left position of the display area, and when hold 2 (hold number = 2) is lit, the hold is held at the lower right position of the display area. When the hold 3 (hold number = 3) is lit, the hold display is displayed at the upper right position of the display area. When the hold 4 (hold number = 4) is lit, the hold is held at the upper left position of the display area. The display is displayed. Also, as a general rule, when the decorative symbol variation display (special symbol variation display) is started (the start condition is satisfied), the suspension display of the suspension 1 displayed at the lower left position of the display area is deleted. As a result, the other hold indications of hold 2 to 4 are moved clockwise while being displayed in the display area.

  First, in the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 1) in which the hold change effect is not executed, when the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 moves, it moves from the position before the move. It moves to the position of the straight line at the shortest distance.

  Further, in the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 2) for executing the hold movement change effect as the hold change effect, when the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 moves, before the move Unlike the case where the hold change effect is not executed from the position to the position after the movement, the movement is performed in a non-linear manner, and during the movement (before reaching the position after the movement), the hold display is performed. The display mode can be changed. Also, when executing the hold movement change effect, compared to the case where the hold display moves linearly (when the hold change effect is not executed), the period until the hold display reaches the position after the movement, The possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes is high. Also, in the hold movement change effect, there are provided a plurality of types of effect patterns in which the hold display moves differently from the case where the hold change effect is not executed, and the hold display moves linearly (the hold change effect is displayed). The possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes is higher as the moving distance is longer than in the case of not executing. In the present embodiment, the longer the distance that the hold display moves, the higher the possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes, but as an example, at first glance, regardless of the distance that the hold display moves. As the manner in which the hold display moves is more complicated (for example, the number of times of crossing as the moving path of the hold display is increased), the possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes may be increased. Further, as another example of the hold movement change effect, the longer the distance that the hold display moves, the higher the possibility that the display mode of the hold display will change to a display mode (for example, rainbow color) with a high expectation degree of jackpot. It may be set.

  Further, in the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 3) for executing the hold change effect as the hold change effect, when the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 moves, When the hold display moves from the position to the outside of the display area, it is erased once. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the hold display returns to the display area and reaches the moved position. Thus, the display mode of the hold display can be changed. In addition, when executing the hold change effect, the position after the hold display is moved as compared with the case where the hold change effect is not executed (the hold display is not erased outside the display area and moves linearly). There is a high possibility that the display mode of the hold display will change during the period until it reaches. In addition, in the hold-off change effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided outside the display area where the hold display is erased, and the display mode of the hold display can change as the erase time increases. The nature is getting higher. In addition, as another example of the muffled hold change effect, the longer the time for which the hold display is erased outside the display area, the more likely the change of the display mode of the hold display to a display mode (for example, rainbow color) with a high expectation level of jackpot May be set to be higher.

  Further, in the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 4) for executing the billiard hold change effect as the hold change effect, when the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 moves, If a similar sphere display appears in a predetermined display mode, and the sphere display bounces multiple times within the display area, then the sphere display collides with the hold display at the position after the movement, the sphere display Is a new hold display, and the display mode of the hold display can be changed to the display mode of the sphere display depending on whether or not the sphere display collides. That is, when the billiard hold change effect is not executed, the ball display does not appear and the display mode of the hold display does not change after the hold display reaches the position after the movement, whereas the billiard hold change effect is not displayed. When executed, a sphere display appears, and the display mode of the hold display can be changed after the hold display reaches the position after the movement. In addition, when the billiard hold change effect is executed, the hold display is moved as a result of moving the hold display as compared to the case where the hold change effect is not executed (the hold display moves linearly and the sphere display does not appear). The possibility that the display mode of the display changes is high. In the present embodiment, even when an effect display (effect display accompanied by a variation display of decorative symbols based on the variation pattern) is changed from the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600, An effect equivalent to the billiard hold change effect can be executed. Specifically, when a sphere display resembling a billiard sphere appears in a predetermined display mode, and the sphere display bounces multiple times within the display area, the sphere display collides with the effect display. The production display changes. For this reason, even when the ball display does not collide with the hold display, it can be noted with expectation whether or not the effect display changes due to the collision with the effect display.

  In the present embodiment, the hold notice effect and the hold change effect are performed in a non-time-short state. In the non-short-time state, the second special symbol side holding memory based on the game ball entering the second start port 2004 hardly occurs, and the game ball enters the first start port 2002. In addition, since the first special symbol side hold memory can occur, only the hold display based on the first special symbol side hold memory is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600. Further, in the non-time-short state, the display area of the effect display device 1600 is provided around the symbol display area where the effect display accompanied by the variation display of the decorative symbol based on the variation pattern is performed, and around the symbol display area. It is divided into a hold display area in which a hold display corresponding to the number of reserved memories on the special symbol side is performed. Specifically, the symbol display area is reduced to about 80% of the display area of the effect display device 1600. In this way, in the non-time-saving state, the hold display area is divided and provided so that the hold display displayed in the hold display area can be conspicuous, and the display mode of the hold display changes by the execution of the hold notice effect. It is easy to pay attention to whether or not to do. In the non-time-short state, the probability of winning a big hit or a small win is low, and it is difficult to expect the variation display and effect display of the decorative symbols performed in the symbol display area, but it is displayed in the hold display area. Since the on-hold display to be displayed is conspicuous, it can be expected that the display mode of the on-hold display will change, and a decrease in the gaming interest can be suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the hold notice effect and the hold change effect are performed during normal fluctuation, which is a stage of whether or not a reach state is formed at the time of decorative symbol fluctuation display. Further, when the hold change effect is not executed, the symbol display area remains reduced to about 80% of the display area, whereas when the hold change effect is executed, 60% of the display area is further increased. The symbol display area is reduced to a certain extent. As described above, since the symbol display area changes from about 80% to about 60% of the display area, the hold change effect is performed on the hold display displayed in the hold display area. In the case of decrease, it can be noted with expectation that the hold change effect is performed on the hold display. In addition, when executing the hold change effect, the hold display area is widened so that the contents of the hold change effect with respect to the hold display displayed in the hold display area can be made conspicuous. It makes it easier to focus on the process of change. Note that the hold display area is provided as an area where the hold display is moved regardless of whether the hold display is on standby or the hold change effect is performed on the hold display. It is allowed that the hold display moves across the symbol display area in a part of the execution of.

  In the present embodiment, when the reach state is formed as the decorative symbol variation display during the normal variation, the symbol display region is returned to 100% of the display region as the reserved display region is erased. . That is, after the reach state is formed, the reach effect is performed using the symbol display area returned to 100%. As described above, when the reach effect is executed, the symbol display area is expanded to change from a state where attention can be paid to the hold display during the normal state, and the reach effect as the effect display displayed in the symbol display area. It can be noticed.

  In the present embodiment, the symbol display area is reduced to about 60% of the display area when any of the hold movement change effect, the turn-off change change effect, and the billiard hold change effect is executed as the hold change effect. The rate at which the symbol display area decreases may be varied according to the expected degree of the hold change effect to be executed (the possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes). For example, in the case of executing a hold change effect with a high possibility that the display mode of the hold display will change, the rate of reduction of the symbol display area is increased, whereas the display mode of the hold display is unlikely to change. When executing the hold change effect, the rate at which the symbol display area decreases may be reduced. According to this, it is not always necessary to grasp the possibility that the display mode of the on-hold display changes by executing the on-hold change effect, and it can be grasped also by the rate at which the symbol display area decreases.

  Next, a specific effect example in the effect display device 1600 during execution of the hold change effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 160 to 162. FIG. 160 shows a specific effect example in the effect display device 1600 at the time of execution of the hold movement change effect, and FIG. Yes, FIG. 162 shows a specific effect example on the effect display device 1600 when the billiard hold change effect is executed.

  First, a specific example of the effect on the effect display device 1600 when executing the hold movement change effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 160 (A), in the non-time-short state, the display area of the effect display device 1600 is provided around the symbol display area 1600a that occupies about 80% of the display area, and the symbol display area 1600a. It is divided into a reserved display area 1600b that occupies about 20% of the display area. In the symbol display area 1600a, an effect display including a variation display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c and a symbol background display (symbol background image) around the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is performed based on the variation pattern. On the other hand, in the hold display area 1600b, hold display corresponding to the number of hold memories on the first special symbol side and hold background display (hold background image) around these hold displays are performed. A hold display 1601a for hold 1 at the lower left position of the display area, a hold display 1601b for hold 2 at the lower right position of the display area, a hold display 1601c of hold 3 at the upper right position of the display area, and an upper left position of the display area A hold display 1601d of hold 4 is displayed at the position of, and a hold background display is displayed in other portions. The reserved background display is displayed in a different form (for example, different background color) from the symbol background display, and the display area of the effect display device 1600 is divided into a symbol display area 1600a and a reserved display area 1600b. This can be easily recognized. The display modes of the hold displays 1601a to 1601d for the hold 1 to 4 are white. For the hold 4 hold display 1601d, when the hold 4 hold display 1601d is lit, the hold notice pattern changes from white → blue → red → rainbow color (the hold notice pattern when hold 4 is lit). Number 18) has been determined.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 160 (B), when the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is started based on the hold display 1601a of the hold 1, execution of the hold movement change effect is performed on the hold display 1601d of the hold 4 Is determined, the symbol display area 1600a is reduced to about 60%, and the hold display area 1600b is increased to about 40%. Further, as the hold display 1601a for hold 1 is deleted, the other hold displays 1601b to 1601d for hold 2 to 4 start moving in the clockwise direction while being displayed in the display area. In addition, the hold indications 1601b and 1601c of the hold 2 and 3 are determined not to execute the hold change effect on the hold indications 1601b and 1601c of the hold 2 and 3, until the position after the movement, On the other hand, the hold display 1601d of the hold 4 moves to the position after the movement based on the execution of the hold movement change effect with respect to the hold display 1601d of the hold 4 while moving in the shortest distance linearly. Move while meandering. In this production example, the display mode is changed from white to blue while the hold display 1601d of hold 4 is moving. In addition, as a change of the display mode during the movement of the hold display, for example, the color at the start of movement (white in this production example) is maintained and does not change until the intermediate point of the movement route is reached, but the intermediate point The gradation change that gradually approaches the color after moving (blue in this production example) from when it reaches the point, and when the movement is completed, the change to the color after movement (blue in this production example) is completed Etc. can be illustrated.

  As shown in FIG. 160 (C), after the predetermined time has elapsed, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a variation display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c. Have moved to the hold displays 1601b to 1601d. At this time, the new hold 1 and 2 hold displays 1601a and 1601b have a white display mode, while the new hold 3 hold display 1601c has a blue display mode.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 160 (D), at the point of starting the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c based on the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 again, as the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is erased, The hold indications 1601b and 1601c of the hold 2 and 3 other than are started to move clockwise while being displayed in the display area. Also, the hold 2 hold display 1601b moves linearly at the shortest distance to the position after the movement based on the determination that the hold change effect is not performed on the hold 2 hold display 1601b. On the other hand, the hold display 1601c of the hold 3 moves while meandering to the position after the movement based on the execution of the hold movement change effect for the hold display 1601c of the hold 3 being determined. In this production example, the display mode is changed from blue to red while the hold display 1601c of hold 3 is moving.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 160 (E), after the predetermined time has elapsed, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c. Have moved the hold displays 1601b and 1601c. At this point, the new hold 1 hold display 1601a has a white display mode, while the new hold 2 hold display 1601b has a red display mode.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 160 (F), at the time when the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is started again based on the hold display 1601a of hold 1, as the hold display 1601a of hold 1 is erased, The hold display 1601b of the hold 2 other than is started to move clockwise while being displayed in the display area. On the other hand, the hold 2 hold display 1601b moves while meandering to the post-movement position based on the execution of the hold movement change effect for the hold 2 hold display 1601b. In this production example, it is recognized that the display mode of the hold display is longer than the distance the hold display has moved when the display mode of the hold display changes from white to blue and blue to red, and the display mode of the hold display is likely to change. it can. Further, when the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 moves, since it crosses the front side of the symbol display area 1600a, it is easy to pay attention to whether or not the display mode changes. Further, in this effect example, the display mode is changed from blue to red while the hold display 1601b of hold 2 is moving.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 160 (G), after the predetermined time has elapsed, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a variation display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c. The movement of the display 1601b is completed. At this point, the new hold 1 hold display 1601a is displayed in rainbow color. If the display mode is displayed in rainbow color, the lottery result is a big hit when the hold display 1601a for hold 1 is used up. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the big hit game.

  Next, a specific example of the effect on the effect display device 1600 at the time of execution of the turn-off change effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 161 (A), in the hold display area 1600b, the hold display corresponding to the number of hold memories on the first special symbol side is performed, but in this effect example, the hold display area is held at the lower left position of the display area. A hold display 1601a of 1 and a hold display 1601b of hold 2 are displayed at the lower right position of the display area. Moreover, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 and the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 are displayed in white. Further, for the hold 2 hold display 1601b, a hold notice pattern (the hold notice pattern number 6 when hold 2 is turned on) whose display mode changes from white to red when the hold 2 hold display 1601b is lit is determined. Has been.

  As shown in FIG. 161 (B), at the time when the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is started based on the hold display 1601a of the hold 1, execution of the hold change effect for the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 is executed. Is determined, the symbol display area 1600a is reduced to about 60%, and the hold display area 1600b is increased to about 40%. As the hold display 1601a for hold 1 is erased, the hold display 1601b for hold 2 is moved out of the display area and is once erased.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 161 (C) and 161 (D), after the hold 2 hold display 1601b moves out of the display area, the hold 2 hold display 1601b moves out of the display area toward the moved position. Is moved within the display area as if the light emitted from the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 is moving. Further, “3”, “2”, “1”, and “0” countdowns are displayed as the light moves in the display area. This countdown corresponds to the time when the hold 2 display 1601b is erased, and the countdown approaches “0” as the erase time becomes longer. That is, when the erase time is long, the countdown can reach “0”, whereas when the erase time is short, the countdown ends without reaching “0”.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 161 (E), after the elapse of the time for which the hold 2 hold display 1601b is erased, the hold 2 hold display 1601b returns to the hold display area 1600b. The display mode is changed to red. Then, as shown in FIG. 161 (F), the movement of the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 is finished before the change display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is stopped. At this time, the new hold 1 hold display 1601a has a red display mode, but if the display mode is displayed in red, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is at least reached and reached. Since the execution of the production is determined, the player's expectation for the big hit game or the small hit game can be increased.

  Next, a specific example of the effect on the effect display device 1600 when the billiard hold change effect is executed will be described. As shown in FIG. 162 (A), in the hold display area 1600b, the hold display corresponding to the number of the hold memories on the first special symbol side is performed, but in this effect example, the hold display area is held at the lower left position of the display area. A hold display 1601a of 1 and a hold display 1601b of hold 2 are displayed at the lower right position of the display area. Moreover, the hold display of the hold 1, 2 has a white display mode. Further, for the hold 2 hold display 1601b, a hold notice pattern (the hold notice pattern number 6 when hold 2 is turned on) whose display mode changes from white to red when the hold 2 hold display 1601b is lit is determined. Has been.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 162 (B), when the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is started based on the hold 1 hold display 1601a, the billiard hold change effect is executed on the hold 2 hold display 1601b. Is determined, the symbol display area 1600a is reduced to about 60%, and the hold display area 1600b is increased to about 40%. In addition, as the hold display 1601a for hold 1 is erased, the hold display 1601b for hold 2 is based on the execution of billiard hold change effect for the hold display 1601b for hold 2 being determined. To the position after the movement, the display mode is linearly moved with the shortest distance while being maintained in white. When the hold 2 hold display 1601b moves, a ball display 1602 resembling a billiard ball appears in a red display mode in the hold display area 1600b. At this time, if the ball display 1602 appears in a red display mode, the new hold 1 hold display 1601a may change to a red display mode by executing the billiard hold change effect. The expectation of the player can be raised.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 162 (C), when a sphere display 1602 appears in the hold display area 1600b, an image replicating the central pressing operation part 303a in the pressing operation part 303 is displayed in the display area, and the center pressing is performed. The player is prompted to operate the operation unit 303a. Then, as shown in FIG. 162 (D), when the player operates the central pressing operation portion 303a within a predetermined time, the ball display 1602 is fired and the ball display 1602 is bounced a plurality of times within the display area. Let On the other hand, even if the player does not operate the center pressing operation portion 303a within a predetermined time, the ball display 1602 is forcibly fired after the predetermined time has elapsed. Further, in this effect example, an operation effect is performed as to whether or not the player operates the central pressing operation unit 303a. However, at this time, the decorative time periods 1605a to 1605c are being displayed in a variable manner (in accordance with the fluctuation pattern). If the set variation time) is 4 seconds or less (when it is not possible to provide a waiting time as to whether or not the player operates the central pressing operation portion 303a), the ball is operated without performing the operation effect. The display 1602 is fired. Note that when the sphere display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, the sphere display 1602 crosses the front side of the symbol display area 1600a, so that the sphere display 1602 is easily noticed.

  As shown in FIGS. 162E and 162F, after the ball display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, the ball display 1602 collides with the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 and the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is pushed out. As a result, the sphere display 1602 becomes a new hold 1 hold display 1601a. As a result, the display mode of the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 changes to red, which is the display mode of the sphere display 1602, before the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is stopped. At this time, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 has a red display mode. However, if the display mode is displayed in red, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is at least reached when the hold display 1601a is digested and a reach effect is provided. Since the execution is determined, the player's expectation for the big hit game or the small hit game can be increased. In this production example, when the ball display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, only the hold 1 hold display 1601a is displayed, and the hold 1 hold display 1601a changes to a red display mode due to a collision with the ball display 1602. Although there is only a possibility of change, when two or more hold displays are displayed in the hold display area, the ball display 1602 collides with which hold display, that is, which hold display has a red display mode. Cannot be determined. For this reason, when two or more hold displays are displayed in the hold display area, one of the hold displays changes to a red display form (display form of the sphere display 1602) due to the collision of the sphere display 1602. With this expectation, attention can be paid to the direction in which the sphere display 1602 travels.

  In the present embodiment, even when the effect display displayed in the symbol display area 1600a changes, an effect equivalent to the billiard hold change effect can be executed. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 162 (E ′), after the sphere display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, the sphere display 1602 collides with the effect display displayed in the symbol display area 1600a. Then, as shown in FIG. 162 (F ′), the effect display displayed in the symbol display area 1600a changes, and an effect display informing that the “special mode” has been entered appears as a new effect display. It is supposed to be. For this reason, even when the ball display 1602 does not collide with the hold display, it can be expected to pay attention to whether or not the effect display changes due to the collision with the effect display.

  In the present embodiment, when executing the hold change effect, the color is changed as the display mode of the hold display. “A predetermined additional decoration display (such as a character) may be added to the hold display”. In such a case, the big hit expectation is made different depending on the type of additional decoration display added to the hold display.

  In addition to the configuration of the hold notice effect described above, when the hold movement change effect is executed as the hold change effect, not only the color change but also the “predetermined additional decoration display on the hold display” in the process of moving the hold display. (Such as a character) may be added. For example, when the hold display moves by executing the hold movement change effect, the additional decoration display appears in the display area in the middle of the movement, the additional decoration display approaches the hold display, and is added to the hold display at the position after the movement. You may make it perform the production | presentation of whether it is performed.

  In addition to the configuration of the hold notice effect described above, when executing the hold change effect as the hold change effect, not only the color change but also the hold display is displayed after the hold display moves out of the display area. When returning to the area, “a predetermined additional decoration display (such as a character) may be added to the hold display” may be used. For example, after the hold display is moved out of the display area due to the execution of the turn-off change effect, the additional decoration display appears in the display area, and the additional decoration display moves out of the display area in the same manner as the hold display, You may make it perform the effect of whether the additional decoration display is added when returning to a display area.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the symbol display area 1600a is reduced from about 80% to about 60% of the display area with the start of the hold change effect, whereas the hold display area 1600b is reduced from about 20% of the display area. It is increased to about 40%. As described above, in the hold change effect, the hold display area 1600b is enlarged, and the hold background display effect that excites the hold change effect is also executed using the enlarged hold display area 1600b. When the background movement change effect is executed as the hold change effect, for example, the hold background display displayed in the hold display area 1600b is replaced with a character set of “chance!” During movement of the hold display. May be. In addition, when executing the hold change effect as the hold change effect, for example, as the hold background display displayed in the hold display area 1600b, the “display” is displayed while the hold display is moving (erasing) outside the display area. It may be replaced with an explanatory message such as “An opportunity when the color changes!”. Further, when the billiard hold change effect is executed as the hold change effect, for example, as a hold background display displayed in the hold display area 1600b, during the period when the ball display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, “Chance if hitting a ball! It may be replaced with a message composed of an explanatory message such as “

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 1600 is used as a display region in which the symbol display region 1600a and the hold display region 1600b are provided. However, two display devices are provided, and a display region including the two display devices is provided. However, the symbol display area 1600a and the hold display area 1600b are divided, and the start of the hold change effect is used as an opportunity to decrease the symbol display area 1600a while increasing the hold display area 1600b. Good. For example, in the case where the symbol display area 1600a is provided in a display apparatus having a large display area, and the hold display area 1600b is provided in a display apparatus having a small display area, of the two display apparatuses, The display device provided with the symbol display area 1600a and the hold display area 1600b may be replaced.

[11-2. Directed over winning in the big hit game]
In the present embodiment, when the big hit game is executed, the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening 2006 is limited to a predetermined number of rounds (a maximum of 14 rounds in the present embodiment) predetermined according to the big hit type. Is opened (the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are in a state where the game ball B can be received), and a round game is performed. One round game is until the first grand prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are opened and closed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, once), and the first grand prize is won during one round game. Until a specified number (the upper limit number of winnings: 10 balls in this example) of game balls B wins in the mouth 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006, or a specified time (round game time: 28.5 seconds in this example) ) Until it elapses.

  In the above-described one round game, when a specified number (the upper limit number of winnings: 10 balls in this example) of gaming balls B wins the first grand prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006, the game is being opened. A certain first grand prize opening 2005 or a second big prize opening 2006 is closed. That is, when the first big prize opening 2005 is being opened, the first attacker can close the first big prize opening 2005 when a predetermined number of game balls B are detected by the first count sensor 2512. The solenoid 2515 is driven and controlled. At that time, there may be cases where the game ball B has already entered the first big prize opening 2005 in excess of the specified number (over winning). In such a case, After the first big prize opening 2005 is closed, the first count sensor 2512 detects the game balls B that exceed the specified number. Similarly, when the second big prize opening 2006 is being opened, the second attacker solenoid so as to close the second big prize opening 2006 when the prescribed number of game balls B are detected by the second count sensor 2513. 2516 is driven and controlled. At that time, there are cases where the game ball B has already entered the second grand prize opening 2006 in excess of the specified number (over winning). After closing the two major winning openings 2006, the second count sensor 2513 detects the game balls B exceeding the specified number. When an over-winning occurs, an effect using the effect display device 1600 is provided separately from the round effect performed in the round game as a privilege for the player having acquired payout of the game ball B exceeding the assumption. As an over-winning production.

  Specifically, every time a round game in the big hit game is started, a round start command for instructing the number of rounds of the round game is transmitted from the main control board 1310. Further, when the game ball B wins the first grand prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 and the game ball B is detected by the first count sensor 2512 or the second count sensor 2513, the main control board 1310 A command at the time of winning to notify the effect is transmitted. Then, in the peripheral control board 1510, when the round start command and the winning command are received, the number of round games being executed, the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning in the big hit effect processing in step S714. An effect based on the number of game balls B won in the mouth 2006 is executed as a round effect in the effect display device 1600. Also, during each round game in the jackpot game, after a predetermined number of game balls B have won the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006, the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening It is determined whether or not the game ball B has won in 2006, that is, whether or not an over win has occurred. If an over win has occurred, the number of times that the over win has occurred is counted over the execution of the jackpot game. To do. However, even if two or more over winnings occur during one round game, the number of over winnings is one count.

  When over-winning occurs, the over-winning effect is executed as an effect using the effect display device 1600. However, the type of over-winning effect differs depending on the number of times the over-winning has occurred. Have Specifically, when the number of over-winnings is an odd count of 1, 3, 5, 7 times, a lottery effect for determining one of the characters A to E and causing the determined character to appear. In contrast, when the number of times of over-winning is an even count of 2, 4, or 6, the fixed effect of executing the character corresponding to the number of times of over-winning is executed. . In addition, when the number of over winnings is the count after the eighth, a premier fixed effect that is not caused to appear in the count up to the seventh is executed.

  First, when the number of over-winnings is an odd number of 1, 3, 5, and 7 times, the character A is used for the over-winning effect using the over-winning effect determination table shown in FIG. Decide which of ~ E will appear. Specifically, the character type set in the over-winning effect determination table is determined by comparing the determination value set in the over-winning effect determination table with the read random number for determining the over-winning effect. To do. As described above, when the number of over-winnings is an odd number of 1, 3, 5, or 7 times, any one of the characters A to E is determined. In addition, it can be noticed which character appears as an over-winning effect.

  The over-winning effect determination table is stored in the ROM of the peripheral control board 1510. Further, in the over-winning effect determination table, the distribution of the determination values for the patterns in which the characters A to E appear is the same, and the appearance rate of each character is the same. The distribution may be made different so that the appearance rate of each character is different.

  When the number of over-winnings is an even count of 2 times, it is determined that the character F appears in the over-winning effect using the over-winning effect determination table shown in FIG. To do. Similarly, when the number of over-winnings is an even count of four, the character G appears in the over-winning effect using the over-winning effect determination table shown in FIG. 163 (C). When the number of over-winnings is an even count of 6 times, the character H is caused to appear in the over-winning effect using the over-winning effect determination table shown in FIG. decide. As described above, when the number of times of over-winning is an even number of 2, 4, or 6, the predetermined character is determined corresponding to the number of times of over-winning. When this occurs, it is possible to recognize how many times the number of over-winning has occurred due to the appearance of the character.

  If the number of over-winnings is the eighth or later count, all characters A to H appear in the over-winning production using the over-winning production determination table shown in FIG. 163 (E). Decide what to do. In this way, when the number of over-winnings is the count up to the seventh time, the character appears only in the over-winning effect, whereas when the number is over the eighth time, the over-winning is over Since all of the characters A to H appear in the winning effect, it is possible to obtain a sense of accomplishment that the number of over-winning has exceeded the eighth time while paying attention to the premier effect.

  In the present embodiment, when the number of over-winnings is an odd count of 1, 3, 5, 7 times, a lottery effect for determining one of the characters A to E and causing the determined character to appear. In contrast, when the number of times of over-winning is an even count of 2, 4, or 6, the fixed effect of executing the character corresponding to the number of times of over-winning is executed. . As a result, depending on whether the number of times of over-winning is an odd count of 1, 3, 5, 7 times or an even-number of 2, 4, 6 times, different pleasures can be given to the effect at the time of over winning. it can. That is, when the number of over-winnings is an even count of 2, 4, 6 times, while recognizing the number of times of over-winning due to the appearance of the character, 1, 3, 5 When the odd count is 7 times, it can be enjoyed that attention is given to which of the characters A to E appears.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even when two or more over winnings occur during one round game, the number of over winnings is set to 1 count. As a result, the over-winning effect is not executed twice during one round game, and the over-winning effect is easily recognized for each round game in which the over-winning occurs. Further, for example, when two over winnings are generated and the number of over winnings is 2 counts, the lottery effect and the fixed effect are not executed in order (for example, overrun during the round game after the lottery effect). Even if a prize is won, the lottery effect is executed and the lottery effect is continued), so the effect that the player was looking forward to may not be executed, but in this embodiment, such a situation can be prevented. it can.

  Next, a specific example of the effect on the effect display device 1600 when the jackpot game is executed will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 164 (A), during the performance of the big hit game, as the round effect using the effect display device 1600, the number of rounds of the currently executed round game, the first grand prize opening 2005 or the second big prize An effect is displayed to display the total number of winning balls (total number of payouts) for winning in the mouth 2006. The display of the total number of wins is based on the fact that the game ball B has won a prize in the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize prize opening 2006, and the number of acquisitions (the number of payouts) according to the number of winning prizes is updated (addition display) Unlike the over-winning effects described above, even if two or more over-winnings occur during one round game, the number of winnings according to each winning number ( The number of payouts) is added to reflect all. In other words, when two or more over winnings occur during one round game, the number of executions of the over winning effect is limited, but the update of the total number of winnings display is not limited.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 164 (B), when an over winning is generated during each round game, an over winning effect is started as an effect using the effect display device 1600. First, the effect display device 1600 The effect display as if light gathers is performed from the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 provided at the lower right of the direction toward the center of the effect display device 1600. As a result, when the number of game balls B exceeding the specified number wins at the first grand prize opening 2005 or the second major prize opening 2006, that is, when an over prize is generated, the player can easily notice that, The character appearing in can be noted.

  As shown in FIG. 164 (C), in the over-winning effect, characters corresponding to the number of times the over-winning has occurred are caused to appear. Specifically, when the number of over-winnings is an odd number of 1, 3, 5, or 7 times, a lottery effect that causes any of characters A to E to appear is executed, whereas over-winning is performed. When the number of times the winning has occurred is an even count of 2, 4, 6 times, a fixed effect is executed in which a character corresponding to the number of times that the over winning has occurred appears. In addition, when the number of over-winnings is the eighth or later count, a premier fixed effect that causes all the characters A to H to appear is executed.

  Also, in the above-described over-winning effect, a character corresponding to the number of times that an over-winning has occurred is displayed using the effect display device 1600, but the next round game when an over-winning occurs during a round game is displayed. At the time of starting, the over-winning effect is ended and the appearing character is deleted. Then, at the start of the round game, the round production corresponding to the number of rounds of the round game is resumed, so that the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are not overlooked. . In this production example, the over-winning production is finished at the time of starting the next round game when an over-winning occurs during the round game, but for a predetermined time (for example, from the over-winning occurrence) 4-5 seconds), the over-winning effect is executed, and even if the next round game is started after the occurrence of the over-winning, the over-winning effect is continued until a predetermined time elapses. It may be. In such a case, the over-winning effect is always executed for a predetermined time due to the occurrence of the over-winning, so that the over-winning effect can be enjoyed leisurely.

  In addition, the above-described effect at the time of over-winning is performed when the number of game balls B (over-winning) exceeding the specified number occurs in the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006. However, when an over prize is generated at the first big prize opening 2005 having a specific area inside, there is no effect at the time of over winning, and an over prize is only given when an over prize is produced at the second big prize opening 2006. You may make it perform a time production. In the present embodiment, when the first big winning opening 2005 passes through the specific area, the big hit finalizing effect indicating that the execution of the big hit game is finalized is performed. However, according to the above configuration, the specific area passing through the specific area is specified. It is possible to prevent the execution of the jackpot finalizing effect from being hindered due to an accidental overwinning at the game timing.

  Further, in addition to configuring the above-described effect at the time of over winning, the lower right flock winning opening provided in the vicinity of the second big winning opening 2006 (for example, lower right of the effect display device 1600) during the big hit game When a game ball wins in the general winning opening 2001), a bonus effect indicating that a bonus ball different from the winning ball for the winning of the gaming ball at the second big winning opening 2006 is given is performed. May be. In such a case, it can be exemplified that control is performed so as to suppress the execution of either one so as to prevent the over-winning effect and the bonus effect from overlapping. For example, if a game ball wins the lower right flock winning opening during the performance at the time of over winning, the execution of the bonus effect is suppressed, whereas if the over winning occurs during the bonus effect execution It can be exemplified that priority is given to an effect that is being executed, such as suppressing execution of an effect when winning an over-winning. However, even if any of the execution conditions of the over-winning effect and the bonus effect is satisfied, there is a payout of the winning ball, and the total number of winning balls (total payout number) in the round effect using the effect display device 1600 It is supposed to be added to the display.

  As described above, when the over-winning effect is not executed while the over-winning has occurred, the number of over-winnings is not counted. As a result, when the over-winning effect is executed next, the lottery effect and the fixed effect are executed in order with respect to the already performed over-winning effect, giving the player a sense of incongruity. Can be prevented.

  In addition, in the above, when over winning occurs during the execution of the bonus effect, execution of the over winning effect is suppressed, but only when the number of occurrences of over winning is the count after the eighth time. You may make it replace with the production | presentation at the time of over winning (premium fixed production). In this way, when the number of over-winnings is the count after the eighth, the premier effect as the over-winning effect is reliably executed, so that the number of over-winnings is the eighth or later. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling lost such that a premier performance cannot be seen even though the count is.

[11-3. Reservation ball production by storage ball production unit]
Next, when executing the storage ball effect by the storage ball effect unit 3400 as an example of the effect displayed on the effect display device 1600 controlled by the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 by various commands from the main control board 1310. An effect example displayed on the effect display device 1600 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. FIG. 165 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400. Here, in a state in which a big hit game is executed by winning a 14R hourly big hit by lottery based on the reception of game balls to the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004, a power failure occurs during the fourth round. An example of an effect when power is generated and power is restored and a problem occurs in the stored ball effect unit 3400 at the end of the sixth round will be briefly described.

  Various images and characters are displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 as the effect of the big hit game progresses. In addition to these images and characters, the pitching information is displayed on the upper right side of the display area (hereinafter referred to as “the upper right side of the screen”). Briefly explaining the configuration of this ball information, round information is displayed on the upper right side of the screen, total ball number information is displayed under the round information, and attacker ball ball information is displayed under the total ball number information. The stored ball departure information is displayed under the attacker departure information. Note that the stored ball departure information is displayed during the execution of the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400.

  The round information notifies the number of rounds being digested, and is displayed based on a big hit round start command corresponding to the number of rounds from the main control board 1310. For example, when digestion of the first round is started, a jackpot round start command corresponding to the first round is transmitted from the main control board 1310, and the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 receives “1 round as round information. Is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

  The total number-of-balls information informs the total number of balls that have been acquired in the already digested round. Control for displaying the calculated result on the effect display device 1600 is performed.

  The attacking ball information informs the number of balls that have been won by entering the big winning opening in the round during digestion. For example, the first big winning ball entering command or the second big game from the main control board 1310 is reported. The result calculated based on the winning entry command is displayed. For example, when the first round of digestion is started and a game ball is received in the first big prize opening 2005, a first big prize mouth entry command is transmitted from the main control board 1310 for each ball entered. . The peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 initializes the attacking ball information (initial value 0) every time a round of digestion is started, and every time a command for entering the first grand prize opening is received, A calculation for adding (incrementing) 15 balls to the information is performed, and a control for displaying the calculation result on the effect display device 1600 is performed.

  The stored ball departure information notifies the stored ball production unit 3400 of the number of balls obtained from the number of game balls discharged in the storage ball production by the storage ball production unit 3400 in the round during digestion. The result calculated based on the detection signal from the storage ball count sensor 3530 provided is displayed. The peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 first initializes the stored ball exit information (initial value 0) each time the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 starts to be executed, and is provided in the stored ball effect unit 3400. On the basis of the detection signal from the stored ball count sensor 3530, a calculation for adding (incrementing) four balls is performed, and a control for displaying the calculation result on the effect display device 1600 is performed. The reason why the four balls are added is that when the game balls are received in the general winning opening 2001a provided in the storage ball effect unit 3400, four game balls are paid out (four game balls are paid out as prize balls). Because.

  When the big hit game is generated and the first round is digested, the second round of digestion is started. In a state in which a winning game is executed with winning the 14R hour junior jackpot, a stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 is executed in an even-numbered round. For this reason, since the above-mentioned stored ball exit information is displayed on the effect display device 1600 during execution of the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400, it appears on the effect display device 1600 every even number of rounds. .

  When the second round of digestion is started, as shown in FIG. 165 (A), the ball display information is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 following the first round, and the stored ball effect unit 3400 is displayed. The message “Reserved sphere released!” Is also displayed in which the stored sphere effect is executed. In this pitch information, “2 rounds” is displayed as the round information on the effect display device 1600, and the calculation result “TOTAL” based on the attacker pitch information (for example, 150 balls) acquired in the first round as the total number of balls information is displayed. : 150 GET "is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and the attacking ball information is“ AT ”when the number of balls obtained by entering the current winning prize during the second round is 45 balls, for example. : 45GET "is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and the number of game balls discharged in the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 at the present time during the second round digest as the stored ball output information is, for example, two In some cases, “plus alpha (denoted as“ + α ”in the figure, the same applies hereinafter): 8GET” is displayed on the effect display device 1600. .

  In the interval from the end of the second round to the start of the third round, the number of pitches displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the attacker pitching information at the end of the second round, and the time at the end of the second round An effect mode is executed in which the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the stored ball output information is subtracted one by one, and the subtracted number of balls is added to the total number of balls output information. The effect mode is executed, and the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the attacking ball output information and the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the stored ball output information are subtracted together. When it becomes zero, the total number of balls obtained from the first round to the second round is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as total number of balls information, and the third round is started. , Reservoir ball Dedama information disappears from the effect display device 1600.

  Note that the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 determines whether or not a problem has occurred in the stored ball effect unit 3400 when the second round ends. The peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 confirms whether or not there is a defect in the storage ball effect unit 3400 in the above-described storage ball effect unit defect determination control process.

  When the digestion of the third round is started, as shown in FIG. 165 (B), the pitching information is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 following the second round. In this pitch information, “3 rounds” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the round information, and the total number of balls “TOTAL: 320 GET” acquired from the first round to the second round is displayed as the total number of pitch information. Displayed on the device 1600, and the attacking ball information is “AT: 60 GET” when the number of balls obtained by entering the current winning prize during the third round is 60 balls, for example. Displayed on device 1600.

  An effect in which the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 is subtracted one by one as the attacking ball information at the end of the third round in the interval from the end of the third round to the start of the fourth round. When the mode is executed, an effect mode in which the subtracted number of balls is added to the number-of-balls information is executed, and the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 is subtracted as the attacking ball number information to be zero. Then, the total number of balls that have been acquired from the first round to the third round is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the output number information, and when the fourth round is started, the stored ball output information is displayed on the effect display device 1600. Appear.

  When digestion of the fourth round is started and the second round is finished, if there is no problem by checking the storage ball effect unit 3400 for a problem, as shown in FIG. 165 (C), the third round is continued. In addition, the ball display information is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600, and a message “reserved ball release!” That the stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 is executed is also displayed. In this pitch information, “4 rounds” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the round information, and the total number of balls “TOTAL: 470 GET” acquired from the first round to the third round is displayed as the total pitch number information. Displayed on the device 1600, and the attacking ball information is “AT: 15 GET” when the number of balls obtained by entering the current winning prize during the fourth round is 15 balls, for example. When the number of game balls that are displayed in the device 1600 and the number of game balls stored in the stored ball effect unit 3400 at the current time during the fourth round of digestion as the stored ball departure information is one ball, for example, “+ α : 4GET "is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

  At this time, when a power failure occurs and then power is recovered and power is restored, a message “Restoring power” is first displayed on the effect display device 1600 as shown in FIG. 165 (D). Although the power is being restored, when the main control board 1310 returns to the gaming state immediately before the occurrence of a power failure based on the backup information, transmission of various commands from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 is started. The peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 can return to the progress of the performance just before the power failure occurs based on the received various commands, but when the power failure occurs, all of the above-mentioned ballistic information loses memory. Therefore, even if power is restored, the number of rounds being digested immediately before the occurrence of a power failure cannot be known unless a big hit round start command is received from the main control board 1310.

  For this reason, the main control board 1310 recovers power, returns based on the backup information, starts to continue the fourth round, and has not yet been transmitted, for example, the first grand prize entry command or the second big prize entry When the ball command is transmitted from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 includes, in the output information displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600, as shown in FIG. Since it is not known whether it is the second round, “? Round” is displayed as the round information on the effect display device 1600, and since the memory is lost as the total number of pitches, the total number of balls “TOTAL: ?????? Is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and “AT: 15 GET” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as 15 balls acquired after returning as the attacker's starting ball information. It is, but do not know whether or not it is even-numbered rounds, as the reservoir ball Dedama information "+ α: ???? GET" is displayed in the effect display device 1600. When a power failure occurs, the game balls stored in the storage space 3415 in the ball storage unit 3420 of the storage ball production unit 3400 are moved along with the movement of the ball storage plate 3490 from the operating position to the original position. The game ball stored on the upper surface of the storage plate 3490 falls toward the ball discharge passage 3487 and passes through the ball discharge passage 3457 without being returned again to the game area 5a of the game board 5 from the discharge port 3485. It is discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 through 1200 and is collected in the island facility of the game hall. For this reason, there is no game ball stored in the stored ball effect unit 3400 at the time of power recovery.

  In the interval from power recovery to the end of the fourth round and the start of the fifth round, the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the attacking ball information at the end of the fourth round is one by one. An effect mode in which the subtracted effect mode is executed, and an effect mode in which the subtracted number of balls is added to the initial value 0 of the output number information is executed. When the number of balls is subtracted to zero, the total number of balls obtained after power recovery is displayed as a specific number for the first time on the effect display device 1600 as number-of-balls information. At this time, since the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 still does not know the round number, “?? round” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the round information, and whether or not it is an even-numbered round. Since it is not known, “+ α: ?????? GET” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the stored ball departure information.

  It should be noted that the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 does not stop all the contents of the ball storage effect by the storage ball effect unit 3400, which has been performed until immediately before the power failure occurs, even if the main control board 1310 ends the fourth round. Since it is lost, the process for determining whether or not a defect has occurred in the stored ball effect unit 3400 (that is, the aforementioned stored ball effect unit defect determination control process) is not performed. In other words, the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 cannot grasp at this point even if any trouble occurs in the storage ball effect unit 3400 due to a power failure. For this reason, when starting the sixth round, the stored ball effect unit 3400 performs the stored ball effect even if the storage ball effect unit 3400 has some trouble.

  When digestion of the fifth round is started, as shown in FIG. 165 (F), the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 is the fifth round by the big hit round start command from the main control board 1310. Recognize. For this reason, the appearance information is updated in the display area of the effect display device 1600. In this pitching information, “5 rounds” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the round information, and the total number of balls “TOTAL: 45 GET” acquired after the power recovery is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the total number of ball numbers information. If the number of balls that have been obtained by entering the big winning mouth at the present time during the fifth round of digestion is 60 balls, for example, “AT: 60 GET” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the attacking ball information. Then, the stored ball departure information disappears from the effect display device 1600.

  In the interval from the end of the fifth round to the start of the sixth round, an effect in which the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 is subtracted one by one as the attacking ball information at the end of the fifth round When the mode is executed, an effect mode in which the subtracted number of balls is added to the number-of-balls information is executed, and the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 is subtracted as the attacking ball number information to be zero. Then, the total number of balls that have been acquired in the fifth round after power recovery is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as information on the number of issues, and when the sixth round is started, the stored ball output information is displayed on the effect display device 1600. Appear.

  When the sixth round of digestion is started, as shown in FIG. 165 (G), the ball exit information is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 following the fifth round, and the stored ball effect unit 3400 is displayed. The message “Reserved sphere released!” Is also displayed in which the stored sphere effect is executed. In this pitch information, “6 rounds” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the round information, and the total number of balls “TOTAL: 195 GET” acquired from the fifth power to the fifth round after the power recovery is produced as the total pitch number information. Displayed on the display device 1600, and the attacking ball information is “AT: 90 GET” when the number of balls obtained by entering the current big winning opening during the sixth round is 90 balls, for example. When the number of game balls that are displayed in the display device 1600 and the number of game balls stored in the stored ball effect unit 3400 at the current time during the sixth round of digestion as the stored ball departure information is, for example, three is “ + Α: 12GET ”is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

  In the interval from the end of the sixth round to the start of the seventh round, the number of appearances displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the attacking appearance information at the end of the sixth round, and the time at the end of the sixth round An effect mode is executed in which the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the stored ball output information is subtracted one by one, and the subtracted number of balls is added to the output number information. The effect mode is executed, and the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the attacking ball output information and the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the stored ball output information are subtracted together. When it becomes zero, the total number of balls that have been acquired by the sixth round after power recovery is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as number-of-balls information, and when the seventh round is started, Sphere Dedama information disappears from the effect display device 1600.

  Note that the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 determines whether or not a problem has occurred in the stored ball effect unit 3400 when the sixth round ends. The peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 confirms whether or not there is a defect in the storage ball effect unit 3400 in the above-described storage ball effect unit defect determination control process.

  As a result of this confirmation, when the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 grasps that there is some malfunction in the storage ball effect unit 3400, when the seventh round of digestion is started, FIG. As shown in H), the ball exit information is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 following the sixth round. In this pitch information, “7 rounds” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the round information, and the total number of balls “TOTAL: 365 GET” acquired by the sixth round after the power return is produced as the total number of pitches information. Displayed on the display device 1600, and the attacking ball information is “AT: 15 GET” when the number of balls obtained by entering the current big winning opening during the seventh round is 15 balls, for example. It is displayed on the display device 1600.

  In the interval from the end of the seventh round to the start of the eighth round, an effect in which the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the attacking ball information at the end of the seventh round is subtracted one by one When the mode is executed, an effect mode in which the subtracted number of balls is added to the number-of-balls information is executed, and the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 is subtracted as the attacking ball number information to be zero. Then, the total number of balls that have been acquired until the seventh round after power recovery is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the number of balls that have been played.

  When digestion of the eighth round is started and the sixth round is completed, it is understood that there is a problem by checking the storage ball effect unit 3400 for the presence of the problem. ), The stored ball effect by the stored ball effect unit 3400 is not executed despite the even-numbered round of the eighth round. Although the ball exit information is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 following the seventh round, the stored ball exit information is disappeared from the effect display device 1600. Then, the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510, instead of executing the storage ball effect by the storage ball effect unit 3400, performs a preliminary effect informing the player of the increase in the number of balls (in other words, storage by the storage ball effect unit 3400). As an alternative production of the storage ball production by the storage ball production unit 3400, the message “The number of balls is increasing!” Is the message of “Reservation ball opening!” Is displayed larger on the effect display device 1600 as a larger size. At this time, the background image is darkened so that the message “Increase in the number of balls!” Is emphasized, and the sound “Increase in the number of balls!” Is also displayed for various speakers (the top center on the door frame 3 side). The speaker 462, the top side speaker 464, the main body frame speaker 622 for the low sound of the main body frame 4, and the like are notified.

  In the pitch information, “8 rounds” is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the round information, and the total number of balls “TOTAL: 515 GET” acquired from the power recovery to the seventh round is displayed as the pitch information. Displayed on the device 1600, and the attacking ball information is “AT: 75 GET” when the number of balls obtained by entering the current big winning mouth during the eighth round is 75 balls, for example. Displayed on device 1600.

  In the interval from the end of the 8th round to the start of the 9th round, an effect in which the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the attacking ball information at the end of the eighth round is subtracted one by one When the mode is executed, an effect mode in which the subtracted number of balls is added to the number-of-balls information is executed, and the number of balls displayed on the effect display device 1600 is subtracted as the attacking ball number information to be zero. Then, the total number of balls that have been acquired from the power recovery until the eighth round is displayed on the effect display device 1600 as the number of balls that have been played.

  Since the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 has already failed in the storage ball effect unit 3400 when the eighth round ends, the peripheral control board 1510 determines that the above-described storage ball effect unit defect determination. The control process is not performed, and the presence or absence of a defect is not confirmed in the storage ball effect unit 3400. Thereafter, digestion proceeds from the ninth round to the fourteenth round, and the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 performs peripheral control of the peripheral control board 1510 also in the tenth round, the twelfth round, and the fourteenth round which are even-numbered rounds. The IC 1510a does not perform the above-described storage ball effect unit failure determination control process and does not check the storage ball effect unit 3400 for the presence or absence of a failure, but when the 14R time short hit is won and the jackpot game ends, the storage ball effect unit 3400 When the presence / absence of a defect is reset and a next big win is won, for example, at 14R, a big hit game is generated, the storage ball production unit 3400 is again checked for the presence / absence of the defect.

  In this normal state, the upper front drive motor 3302 is driven according to the game state that changes as a game is played in the game area 5a, and the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position toward the lower appearance position. Then, the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353 are lowered together. At this time, on the left side of the central decorative body 3351, the second protruding decorative portion 3353a of the second protruding decorative body 3353, and on the right side of the central decorative body 3351, on the first protruding decorative portion 3352a of the remaining first protruding decorative body 3352, The lower end portions of the second link rods 3304 arranged on the left and right are respectively attached, and the upper end portions of the left and right second link rods 3304 are respectively attached to the unit base 3301 so as to be rotatable within a predetermined range. Are attached to the unit base 3301 so as to be slidable in the same vertical direction as the moving direction of the central decorative body 3351, and are thus lowered together with the central decorative body 3351. Two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and second protruding decorative bodies 3353 (first protruding decorative portions 3352a and second protruding decorative bodies The second link rod 3304 of the left and right by part 3353A) is pulled to the same downwardly moving direction of the central decorative body 3351, respectively, the upper end portion of the second link rod 3304 is able to slide downwardly relative to the unit base 3301. Since the upper ends of the left and right second link bars 3304 are slidable in the vertical direction within a range shorter than the moving distance (lifting distance) of the central decorative body 3351 by the first link bar 3303, the central decorative body Before 3351 reaches the appearance position of the descending end, the upper ends of the left and right second link rods 3304 reach the lower end in the sliding direction. Then, after the upper end of the second link bar 3304 reaches the lower end in the sliding direction, when the central decorative body 3351 further moves in the direction of the lower appearance position, the lower end of the second link bar 3304 no longer appears. The right and left sides of the first projecting decorative body 3352 and the second projecting decorative body 3353 which are about to descend together with the central decorative body 3351 by the left and right second link rods 3304 are not allowed. The first projecting decorative part 3352a and the left second projecting decorative part 3353a are pulled toward the upper unit base 3301. By this force, the two first projecting decorative bodies 3352 and the second projecting decorative body 3353 become the central decoration. The first connecting rod 3352b and the second connecting rod 3353b attached to the rear side of the body 3351 are arranged in the center of the central decorative body 3351. Rotating in different directions with respect to the axis extending in the front-rear direction as the center, the first projecting decorative part 3352a and the second projecting decorative part 3353a on both the left and right sides are eliminated from the first position where the front and rear overlap each other Will move to the second position. As a result, the first projecting decorative part 3352a and the second projecting decorative part 3353a, which were seen as one on both the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351, are rotated so that the fan spreads in two, and the central decorative body 3351 and The four first projecting decorative portions 3352a and the second projecting decorative portion 3353a extending radially from the central decorative body 3351 can form a single large decoration and show to the player. Accordingly, since all the number of the first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portions 3353a appear around the central decorative body 3351 moved to the center of the game area 5a, the first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portions 3352a and second An increase in the number of projecting decorative portions 3353a makes it possible to strike the player's intentions, and the four first projecting decorative portions 3352a and second projecting decorative portions 3353a around the central decorative body 3351 spread to increase the overall decoration. Can be increased, and a strong impact can be given to the player to prevent a decrease in interest.

  Further, as described above, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position of the ascending end to the appearing position of the descending end by the upper front drive motor 3302, the upper end portions of the left and right second link rods 3304 become the lower end portions in the sliding direction. Until reaching the lower end of the first link rod 3303, the two first projecting decorative portions 3352a and 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 overlap each other. After the lower position of the second link bar 3304 reaches the lower end in the sliding direction, the central ornament 3351 is moved in the direction of the appearance position (downward). ) To move to the second position where the overlap has been eliminated from the first position where the two left and right first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a overlap each other. The center decorative body 3351 is radially spread around the central decorative body 3351, and the player can be shown a movable effect that moves in two stages by the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353. Therefore, by appropriately controlling the upper front drive motor 3302, it is possible to stop the movement (production) in the first stage or move (production) to the second stage. The variation of the movable performance using the two first projecting decorative bodies 3352 and the second projecting decorative body 3353 can be increased, the player can be entertained by various performances, and the player is less likely to get bored. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, since the central decorative body 3351 can be moved from the retracted position of the ascending end to the appearing position of the descending end by the upper front drive motor 3302 according to the gaming state, in the normal state where the central decorative body 3351 is in the retracted position, When the game state changes, the player can be thrilled by whether or not the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position, and the player can be entertained. Then, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position to the appearance position side by the upper front drive motor 3302 and moved to the first stage where the first protruding decorative body 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 do not rotate, Since the decoration body 3351, the two first protrusion decoration bodies 3352, and the second protrusion decoration body 3353 move downward in a normal state, there seems to be something good for the player. And can give a sense of expectation to the game. Further, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position of the descending end until the second stage, that is, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portions 3353a radially spread around the central decorative body 3351. The central decorative body 3351, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can show a large decoration to the player, and the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and Since the second projecting decorative portion 3353a is lowered, it is possible to make the player feel like being posted from the heavens, so that the advantageous gaming state in which the player has an advantage over the player Can cause the player to think that the game will occur, increase the expectation of the game, and make it difficult for the player to get bored. Against it is possible to suppress the lowering of interest.

  In this way, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position to the appearance position, the movement of the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353 can be changed in two stages. Therefore, the possibility (expected value) of an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous differs between when the player stops at the first stage and when stopped at the second stage. It can be recognized that the expected value is higher in the second stage than in the first stage, and the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body With the body 3353, various expected values can be displayed to the player.

  Further, the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position near the center in the front view game area 5a, and the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position to secure a space around the central decorative body 3351. Therefore, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portions 3353a can be moved radially from the first position to the second position around the central decorative body 3351 at the appearance position, and can be expanded radially. The body 3351, the two first projecting decorative bodies 3352, and the second projecting decorative body 3353 can form a decoration as large as possible. Therefore, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302 according to the gaming state, the central decorative body 3351 and four first protrusions radially extending around the central decorative body 3351 in the vicinity of the center of the gaming area 5a. Since the player can be shown a large decoration by the decoration part 3352a and the second projecting decoration part 3353a, the player can be surprised and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the center of the game area 5a. In addition, a large decoration by the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be enjoyed, and a decrease in the interest of the player in the game can be suppressed.

  Further, when the central decorative body 3351 is moved from the retracted position to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302, the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portions 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 are moved to the first position. Since the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 are moved by one upper front drive motor 3302, When performing an effect (movable effect) using the central decorative body 3351, the two first projecting decorative bodies 3352, and the second projecting decorative body 3353, only one upper front drive motor 3302 needs to be controlled. Such a load can be reduced. Therefore, when performing an effect using the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353, an effect using other movable decorative bodies, light emitting decorative bodies, etc. is performed simultaneously. However, since it is possible to suppress an increase in the load related to the control of the production, the control of the production becomes unstable due to overload, so that the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 are driven by the upper front drive motor 3302. And the movement of the second projecting decorative body 3353 can be prevented from being jerky, and the production effect using the central decorative body 3351, the two first projecting decorative bodies 3352 and the second projecting decorative body 3353 can be surely exhibited. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 having the above-described effects can be obtained.

  Further, as described above, from the middle when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position, the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portions 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 are moved to the second position. Since it is made to move, the speed which the 1st protrusion decoration part 3352a and the 2nd protrusion decoration part 3353a move (rotate) to a 2nd position becomes relatively faster with respect to the moving speed of the center decoration body 3351. Therefore, the four first projecting decorative parts 3352a and the second projecting decorative part 3353a can be moved so as to suddenly spread around the central decorative body 3351. An effect using the one projecting decorative body 3352 and the second projecting decorative body 3353 can be enjoyed.

  Furthermore, as described above, after the central decorative body 3351 has moved to some extent from the retracted position to the appearance position, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 are moved to the first. The position is moved from the position to the second position. That is, the first projecting decorative portion 3352a and the second projecting decorative portion 3353a are moved from the vicinity of the upper edge of the front view game area 5a to the center side to some extent, and then the first projecting decorative portion 3352a and the second projecting decorative portion 3353a are radially spread around the central decorative body 3351. Since the first projecting decorative part 3352a and the second projecting decorative part 3353a are moved to the second position, the first projecting decorative part 3352a and the second projecting decorative part are moved from the position to the second position. The part 3353a can be prevented from coming into contact with other members, and damage to the first protruding decorative part 3352a, the second protruding decorative part 3353a, and other members can be prevented.

  Further, when a plurality of LEDs mounted on the upper front central decorative board, the first protruding decorative part decorative board, and the second protruding decorative part decorative board are caused to emit light, the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative parts 3352a and Since the second projecting decorative portion 3353a can be independently decorated with light emission, the central decorative body 3351 and the first projecting protrusion 3335a and the first projecting decorative portion 3352a and the second projecting decorative portion 3353a can be illuminated with light. The decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be made conspicuous, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the upper front movable decorative body 3350 such as the central decorative body 3351. Accordingly, before the upper front drive motor 3302 lowers the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353 from the retracted position to the appearance position, the upper front central decorative board, the first protruding decorative body The player can decorate the central decorative body 3351 and the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on both the left and right sides with a plurality of LEDs mounted on the decorative board and the second protruding decorative part. Therefore, the player can be thrilled and excited by whether or not the central decorative body 3351 or the like is moved to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302. I can do it.

  Then, the upper front drive motor 3302 causes the central decorative body 3351 to descend to the appearance position on the center side of the game area 5a, and four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and second protruding decorative portions 3353a are radially formed around the central decorative body 3351. If it spreads over, it can surprise the player and think that there is something good, and can raise the player's expectation for the game. When the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position, the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the first protruding decorative portion decorative substrate are formed by the upper front central decorative substrate, the first protruding decorative portion decorative substrate, and the second protruding decorative portion decorative substrate. When the two-projection decoration portion 3353a is light-decorated, it is possible to show the player a decoration that greatly shines in the center of the game area 5a. Therefore, an advantageous game state in which the player has an advantage over the player (for example, “big hit game” ")" Can be generated, and the expectation for the occurrence of the advantageous gaming state can be enhanced, and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the effect display device 1600 is arranged at the center in the front-view game area 5a, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the center of appearance in the game area 5a by the upper front drive motor 3302, the center Since the effect image (a part) is blocked by the decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353, the player may notice the lowering of the central decorative body 3351 or the like to be noticed. The first projecting decoration part 3352a and the second projecting decoration part 3353a can be shown which move from the first position to the second position and spread radially around the central decoration body 3351. Therefore, in the center of the game area 5a, a large decoration by the central decorative body 3351, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a, and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be surely shown to the player. The pachinko machine 1 can be reliably played.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the frame-shaped center accessory 2500 is arranged in the center of the front view game area 5a, and the game ball B is not included in the area except for the frame of the center accessory 2500. You can play games that are distributed. A front effect unit 2600 having a transparent front light guide plate 2610 is attached to the center accessory 2500 so as to close the inside of the frame, and an effect arranged rearward through the front light guide plate 2610. The effect images displayed on the display device 1600 can be enjoyed. In this state, a predetermined LED 2630 among a plurality of LEDs 2630 attached to the upper peripheral edge of the front light guide plate 2610 via the reflector 2620 in accordance with a game state that changes as a game is performed in the game area 5a. When one of the first LED group 2630a, the second LED group 2630b, the third LED group 2630c, and the fourth LED group 2630d is caused to emit light, the identification on the peripheral surface of the front light guide plate 2610 corresponding to the LED 2630 Light is irradiated to the light incident part 2612 (any one of the first specific light incident part 2612a, the second specific light incident part 2612b, the third specific light incident part 2612c, and the fourth specific light incident part 2612d), and the specific light incident The pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a, second pattern 2614b, third picture) corresponding to the light incident on the front light guide plate 2610 from the light portion 2612 2614C, so that the fourth picture 2614D, one) is the luminous display. More specifically, the periphery of the light guide plate main body 2611 of the front light guide plate 2610 is fitted in the fixed recess 2621 of the reflector 2620, and from the plurality of through holes 2622 passing through the fixed recess 2621 to the specific light incident portion 2612 side. Since the plurality of LEDs are attached to the reflector 2620 via the front light guide plate decoration substrate 2640 so as to face the LED 2630, the LED 2630 can be brought as close as possible to the peripheral surface (specific light incident portion 2612) of the light guide plate body 2611. In addition, it is possible to reliably irradiate the corresponding specific light incident portion 2612 with the light from the LED 2630, and it is possible to prevent the light from the LED 2630 from diffusing through the through hole 2622. The portion 2612 can be prevented from being irradiated with light.

  And the light which entered into the light-guide plate main body 2611 from the specific light-incidence part 2612 corresponds to the corresponding reflective recessed part 2613 (1st reflective recessed part 2613a, 2nd reflective recessed part 2613b, 3rd reflective recessed part 2613c, 4th reflective recessed part 2613d. ), The light emitted from the reflective recess 2613 is reflected or refracted in a predetermined direction. At this time, since the reflective concave portion 2613 extends in a direction perpendicular to the straight line connected to the corresponding specific light incident portion 2612, the reflective concave portion 2613 is reflected or refracted in a predetermined direction. Since the direction perpendicular to the surface of the light guide plate main body 2611 is included, the light guide plate main body 2611 is reflected by the reflective recess 2613 to the eyes of the player sitting in front of the game area 5a (light guide plate main body 2611). The light reflected or refracted in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the light reaches the reflection concave portion 2613, and the pattern 2614 composed of the reflective concave portion 2613 appears to be lit and displayed. On the other hand, the light that has entered the light guide plate body 2611 from the specific light incident portion 2612 reaches the reflective concave portion 2613 that does not correspond to the specific light incident portion 2612, but the reflective concave portion 2613 that does not correspond to the specific concave portion 2613 Since the light extends in a direction different from the direction perpendicular to the straight line connected to the specific light incident portion 2612 on which light is incident, the direction of light reflected or refracted by the reflective recess 2613 is perpendicular to the surface of the light guide plate body 2611. It is a direction inclined with respect to a certain direction, and it does not reach the eyes of the player seated in front of the game area 5a, and the non-corresponding reflection recess 2613 does not appear to shine. In this way, when the LED 2630 irradiates the specific light incident portion 2612 with light, only the reflective concave portion 2613 corresponding to the specific light incident portion 2612 reflects or refracts light in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the light guide plate body 2611. Thus, it reaches the eyes of the player seated in front of the game area 5a, and it can be shown to the player as if only the pattern 2614 formed of the corresponding reflective recess 2613 is lit and displayed. .

  Therefore, by appropriately selecting the LED 2630 to emit light and changing the specific light incident portion 2612 irradiated with light, the pattern 2614 displayed and emitted on the front light guide plate 2610 can be changed variously. By displaying 2614 in a light-emitting manner, the player can be surprised and entertained, and it is difficult to get tired of the player, and a decrease in interest in the game can be suppressed. Since the plurality of patterns 2614 of the front light guide plate 2610 are formed so as to be sequentially related to each other, a plurality of LEDs 2630 (a first LED group 2630a, a second LED group 2630b, a third LED group) When the 2630c and the fourth LED group 2630d) are caused to emit light sequentially, a plurality of patterns (first pattern 2614a, second pattern 2614b, third pattern 2614c, and fourth pattern 2614d) are sequentially emitted and displayed on the front light guide plate 2610. As shown, the player can show a light-emitting display with movement.

  Specifically, the first design 2614a, the second design 2614b, the third design 2614c, and the fourth design 2614d are displayed in the order of light emission, and after the last fourth design 2614d, the first design 2614a is returned to the beginning and again. When the light emitting display is repeated in order, the player can show the light emitting display that continues to move from the outside toward the center by the plurality of patterns 2614 of the front light guide plate 2610. It is possible to make the illusion that the momentum is concentrated on the person, and to raise the sense of expectation for the game by thinking that there is something good. On the other hand, on the other hand, the fourth design 2614d, the third design 2614c, the second design 2614b, and the first design 2614a are displayed in the order of light emission. When the light emission display is repeated in order from the four patterns 2614d, the player can show the player the light emission display that continues to move from the center toward the outside by the plurality of patterns on the light guide plate. The player can have an illusion of spreading from the center or an illusion of moving forward, so that the player can foresee a change in the gaming state. In this way, since the player can show a moving light-emitting display like an animation, the player is strong by the moving light-emitting display by the front light guide plate 2610 that has never been seen in the pachinko machine 1 so far. It can give an impact, attract the player's interest strongly, and can make the player think that an advantageous gaming state in which the player has an advantage will occur. The expectation can be raised and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  Further, since the front light guide plate 2610 is attached within the frame of the center accessory 2500 in which the center accessory 2500 is attached in the center of the front view game area 5a, even if the pattern 2614 is displayed by the LED 2630, the light emission is performed. The displayed pattern 2614 does not hinder the game in the game area 5a, and the area where the game is actually played can be viewed in a good state from the player side, making it difficult to see the game. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrust and entertain the game in a good state.

  Further, since the light guide plate main body 2611 of the front light guide plate 2610 is fitted into the fixed concave portion 2621 of the reflector 2620, the front light guide plate 2610 and the reflector 2620 are compared with the case where the light guide plate main body 2611 is attached by two members as in the prior art. Can be eliminated, and a plurality of LEDs 2630 can be reliably positioned at desired positions with respect to the front light guide plate 2610. Therefore, since the LED 2630 can be reliably positioned with respect to the specific light incident portion 2612 of the front light guide plate 2610, the corresponding specific light incident portion 2612 can be reliably irradiated with light from the LED 2630, and only the intended pattern 2614 can be irradiated. It is possible to reliably display the light emission.

  Furthermore, since the pattern 2614 is configured by a plurality of reflective recesses 2613 extending in a direction perpendicular to a straight line connected to the specific light incident portion 2612, the plurality of specific light incident portions 2612 are arranged on the light guide plate body 2611. The front cover 2650 (the reflector 2620 and the plurality of LEDs 2630) can be guided by arranging a plurality of specific light incident portions 2612 on the upper side of the light guide plate body 2611. It can be disposed only on the upper side of the optical plate body 2611. Accordingly, the front cover 2650 (the reflector 2620 and the plurality of LEDs 2630) is not surrounded by the outer periphery of the light guide plate main body 2611, and compared with the case where the front cover (frame body) is provided over the entire periphery of the light guide plate main body 2611. Thus, since it is possible to avoid partitioning the effect image and the decorative body of the effect display device 1600 arranged at the rear, it is possible to make the effect image and the like easier to see from the player side. It is possible to entertain the production image in a good state and suppress a decrease in interest, and to make the pachinko machine 1 with a feeling of opening because there is no frame-shaped partition in the game area 5a in front view, The pachinko machine 1 having appealing power that can attract the player's interest by improving the appearance in the game area 5a can be obtained.

  In addition, as described above, a plurality of (in this case, four) patterns 2614 can be displayed by light emission with one front light guide plate 2610, so that it is not necessary to use a plurality of light guide plates as in the prior art. The size in the front-rear direction of the light-emitting display of the pattern 2614 can be made as small (thin) as possible, and the front light guide plate 2610 is attached to the center accessory 2500, so the front light guide plate 2610 is moved to the player side. The position can be as close as possible, and a large space can be easily secured on the rear side of the front light guide plate 2610. Therefore, since a wide space can be secured on the rear side of the front light guide plate 2610, the lower movable effect unit 3100, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, and the like are provided on the rear side of the front light guide plate 2610. The pachinko machine 1 with a high appeal to the player by improving the appearance in the game area 5a can be arranged, and in addition to the effect by the light-emitting display of the pattern 2614, the lower movable effect Various effects can be provided to the player by performing the movable effects by the unit 3100, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, etc., and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest. be able to.

  Further, since the front light guide plate 2610 is attached to the frame-shaped center accessory 2500, the peripheral edge of the front light guide plate 2610 (reflector 2620) is made by matching the peripheral edge of the front light guide plate 2610 with the frame of the center accessory 2500. Or a plurality of LEDs 2630) from the player side, making it difficult for the player to notice the presence of the front light guide plate 2610. It is possible to give a strong impact to a player who thought that 2610 did not exist and to surprise the player with light emission display of a plurality of patterns 2614 by the front light guide plate 2610 and to suppress a decrease in interest. it can.

  Further, since the front cover 2650 prevents the plurality of LEDs 2630 and the reflector 2620 from being seen from the player side, it is possible to prevent the appearance in the game area 5a from being deteriorated by seeing the reflector 2620 and the like. The appearance in the game area 5a can be improved, the appeal to the player can be enhanced, and the pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as the pachinko machine to be played. It is possible to entertain the game and suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, since the plurality of LEDs 2630 are not seen from the player side by the front cover 2650, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the presence of the front light guide plate 2610 using the plurality of LEDs 2630, and thus the LED 2630. The display 2614 of the front light guide plate 2610 is displayed in a light-emitting manner, so that the player can be greatly surprised by the light-emitting display that the player has not predicted, and the player 26 can enjoy the light-emitting display of the pattern 2614.

  Then, the plurality of LEDs 2630 on the front light guide plate decoration board 2640 are caused to emit light in the order of the first LED group 2630a, the second LED group 2630b, the third LED group 2630c, and the fourth LED group 2630d, thereby first pattern 2614a. , The second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d are emitted in order, and a light-emitting effect such as an animation having a movement that spreads outward from the center of the front light guide plate 2610 (1 After the plurality of LEDs 2630, the first LED group 2630a, the second LED group 2630b, the third LED group 2630c, and the fourth LED group. While stopping any of 2630d in the state which made it light-emit, several LED2660 is light-emitted and light-guide plate main body 2 11 by making light incident on the light guide plate main body 2611 from the upper right side of the center 11 so that the decorative pattern in the middle row that can be seen through the center of the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d) is shot out. The pattern 2615 is caused to emit light, and the pattern in which the decorative pattern in the middle row is cracked by being shot by the shot pattern 2615 is displayed on the effect display device 1600 (FIG. 166 (D)). At this time, in synchronization with the light emission of the plurality of LEDs 2660, an arrow of light is emitted toward the center of the front light guide plate 2610 on the effect display device 1600 located on the back of the light guide plate body 2611, and the center of the pattern 2614 is projected. Such an effect display is performed, and then the image 2615 is eradicated to assist the auxiliary design 2615 (auxiliary display).

  Specifically, the back part of the shot pattern 2615 (including at least a part of the back part of the shot pattern 2615, including the area other than the back part of the shot picture 2615 so that light gradually advances from the vicinity of the plurality of LEDs 2660. The image may be gradually displayed to complete an image overlapping the shot pattern 2615, and then the arrow of light emitted from the plurality of LEDs 2660 is lost by deleting the image 2614 (first pattern 2614a). To the center of the fourth pattern 2614d), thereby moving the first pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d in order from the center of the front light guide plate 2610 to the outside. It is designed to produce an effect that stops the light-emitting effect such as an animation.

  The shot pattern 2615 includes a portion displayed on the upper layer and a portion displayed on the lower layer with respect to the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d). Specifically, on the surface side of the pattern 2614 (the first pattern 2614a to the fourth pattern 2614d) on the near side of the portion of the shot pattern 2615 that is pierced with the pattern 2614 (the first pattern 2614a to the fourth pattern 2614d). The portion representing the certain part (the right portion of the shot pattern 2615 displayed by being divided into right and left) is displayed on the upper layer with respect to the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d), and the shot pattern is displayed. 2615, a part (first part 2614a to fourth part 2614d) that is inserted into the picture 2614 (first part 2614a to fourth part 2614d) and represents the back side of the part 2614 (first part 2614a to fourth part 2614d). As for the shot pattern 2615 to be performed, the pattern 2614 (the first pattern 2614a to the fourth pattern 2614d) is used. It is displayed in the lower layer against. Thereby, it is possible to express the perspective based on the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d), and the arrows of light emitted from the plurality of LEDs 2660 are represented by the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d). You can realistically express how you hit the center of the

  Further, as described above, a light condensing member 2670 is provided in front of the plurality of LEDs 2660 that emit the emission pattern 2615, and the light is incident on the light guide plate main body 2611 in a state where the light is concentrated to increase the intensity of the light. Let On the other hand, the plurality of LEDs 2630 on the front light guide plate decoration substrate 2640 are not provided with the light collecting member 2670, and these lights are diffused and enter the light guide plate body 2611. Therefore, the punching pattern 2615 can be made to emit light with a stronger light than the pattern 2614 (the first pattern 2614a to the fourth pattern 2614d) emitted by the plurality of LEDs 2630 of the front light guide plate decoration board 2640. However, the light emission pattern 2615 gradually attenuates as it moves away from the plurality of LEDs 2660 (the reflection concave portion 2616 of the light guide plate body 2611 enters from the plurality of LEDs 2660 as it moves away from the plurality of LEDs 2660. By gradually decreasing the ratio of reflecting light forward, the visible light from the front of the light guide plate body 2611 is gradually weakened), and the perspective is also expressed from the emission of the shot pattern 2615.

  If the result of the variable display is a big hit, the light guide plate main body 2611 emits a shot pattern 2615 to display a mode in which the decorative pattern in the middle row is cracked on the effect display device 1600, and then the left row. The decorative pattern in the middle row that is temporarily stopped with a different design from the decorative design in the right column ("6" in this example) is broken (destroyed) and becomes the same design as the decorative symbol in the left and right columns The big hit symbol is changed and displayed in a fixed stop (FIG. 167 (F)). On the other hand, if the variation display results in a loss, the light guide plate body 2611 emits a shot pattern 2615 to display a cracked pattern in the middle decorative pattern on the effect display device 1600, and then the left column. The decorative pattern in the middle row, which is temporarily stopped and displayed in a pattern different from the decorative pattern in the right column (“6” in this example), is not broken (without being destroyed) Is maintained in a different symbol, and the lost symbol is confirmed and stopped (FIG. 167 (E)).

  It should be noted that not only when the decorative symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state, but when the reach effect is developed into a super reach effect, for example, in FIG. The above-described effects can be executed even when the middle row of decorative symbols is destroyed and then developed into a super reach effect. In addition, when the above-mentioned effects are executed as reach effects, the shot pattern 2615 is emitted to make a big hit or the reach effects are developed into super reach effects or the like. For example, in the case of deriving a losing pattern without developing it, the first light pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d are not emitted in the order of the front light guide plate 2610. After stopping the light emission effect such as an animation that moves from the center to the outside, the losing symbol may be displayed in a fixed stop manner. Moreover, there is a movement that spreads outward from the center of the front light guide plate 2610 in the order of the first pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d without causing the shot pattern 2615 to emit light. After stopping the light emission effect such as animation, the shot pattern 2615 may be made to emit light to derive a big hit symbol, or a reverse effect that develops the reach effect into a super reach effect or the like may be executed.

  As described above, in the light emitting display of the light guide plate of the modified example, the front light guide plate 2610 has a plurality of patterns 2614 (first pattern 2614a, second pattern 2614b, third pattern 2614c, fourth pattern 2614d) and punched pattern 2615. Although the pattern is made to emit light on the same light guide plate (front light guide plate 2610), the perspective can be realistically expressed, so that the player can be surprised and surprised, and the lowering of the game entertainment can be suppressed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the storage ball effect unit 3400, as a physical opening / closing plate, a plate-shaped ball storage plate 3490 that can reciprocate in the front-rear direction (front and depth directions), and the front-rear direction ( A game ball is stored in the storage space 3415 using a plate-like ball discharge plate 3505 that can reciprocate in the forward and depth directions), and the stored game ball is transferred from the storage space 3415 to the discharge space 3422. It flows in toward the ball discharge passage 3520 on the lower side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425, returns to the game area 5a again through the ball discharge passage 3520, the discharge port 3515, and the storage ball count sensor 3530. It is possible to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 through the substrate holder 1200 and recovered to the island facility of the game hall , Not a physical closing plate, it may be performed by using an electromagnet. For example, an electromagnet in which a coil is wound around the core of magnetic material is provided in the storage ball effect unit 3400, and the coil is energized when starting to store game balls in the storage space 3415 under the control of the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 3515. As the magnetic force is generated, the game balls that fall one after another toward the storage space 3415 are attracted to and attached to the discharge space 3422. After that, when the game balls are stored in the storage space 3415, the coil is energized. When stopped and no magnetic force is generated, the game balls stuck in the discharge space 3422 fall one after another toward the ball discharge passage 3520 on the lower side wall of the ball discharge portion 3425 and pass through the ball discharge passage 3520 to the discharge port. 3515, and the substrate without being returned to the game area 5a again through the storage ball count sensor 3530 Through the holder 1200 can be recovered is discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 to the island features of the game hall.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the storage ball effect by the storage ball effect unit 3400 is executed in the even-numbered round, but the storage ball effect by the storage ball effect unit 3400 is also executed in the odd-numbered round. You may comprise. Specifically, storage ball production A related to discharge in odd rounds, and storage ball production B related to storage in even rounds (production performed prior to storage ball production A), which are alternately generated in odd and even rounds. You may make it make it. As the stored ball effect A, it is possible to exemplify performing the above-described “stored ball release!” Effect, and as the stored ball effect B (preceding effect), performing the effect “stored!”. Moreover, when providing these stored ball effects A and B, you may make it provide a common alternative effect about each of the stored ball effects A and B as the above-mentioned alternative effects. As a common alternative effect, it is possible to exemplify performing the above-mentioned alternative effect of “Increase in number of balls!” Continuously over odd and even rounds.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the stored ball exit information is erased from the effect display device 1600 at the start of the odd round. The ball information may be continuously displayed, and the exit ball acquisition history of the stored ball effect unit 3400 alone from the start to the end of the 14R hour junior college may be left. After disappearing due to a power interruption, only the history of the subsequent discharge is stored.

  In the above-described embodiment, the storage time and the discharge time in the storage ball production unit 3400 are configured to be divided into the odd-numbered rounds and the even-numbered rounds. For example, it may be configured by three rounds such as “a storage round, a storage round, and a discharge round”, or may be configured to “discharge in the next round when a predetermined storage number has reached”. If it is configured to “discharge in the next round when the predetermined number of storage reaches”, the storage time and the discharge time in the storage ball effect unit 3400 from the start to the end of the 14R hour junior college are random, It is possible to avoid giving the player a sense of incongruity or disgust by a wasteful discharge operation such as “discharged even though it has not been performed”.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the effect using the stored ball effect unit 3400 is performed at the 14R hour junior high, but the effect using the storage ball effect unit 3400 is also performed at times other than the 14R time junior bonus. In that case, it is good also as a storage ball production different for every kind of jackpot (preventing boredom). In that case, the alternative effects may be different or common.

  Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, although the storage space 3415 of the ball storage part 3420 of the storage ball production | presentation unit 3400 was comprised as a box-shaped space, you may comprise as a spiral space. By making the storage space 3415 into a spiral space, the number of game balls stored can be easily understood.
