When the special symbol is stopped at the winning symbol, the main control device 400 shifts to the opening / closing game of the big prize opening device 70 corresponding to the winning type and is driven by the big prize opening actuator 70a. Control is performed so as to open and close the prize opening device 70. Accordingly, the main control device 400 outputs a command or other signal to the sub-control device 500 so as to produce an effect during the opening / closing game of the big prize opening device 70 according to the winning type.

  In the course of the arithmetic processing as described above, main controller 400 causes CPU 430 to input the storage data in ROM 450, the temporary storage data in RAM 460, or the detection output from sensor group S via input port 410. Then, various arithmetic processes are performed, and an output process to the first driven element group DRV1 and the sub-control device 500 via the output ports 420a to 420c is performed. The soft timer 440 is reset at the same time as the operation of the main control device 400 when the power supply circuit PS (see FIG. 8) of the pachinko gaming machine is turned on, and starts measuring time. Each time, the pulse signal is generated and output to the CPU 430.

During this execution, the main controller Under the payout command control from 400, the drive control of the payout motor through the motor drive circuit 131 is performed. For example, the payout control unit 500a receives a prize ball command from the main controller 400, and controls to pay out a predetermined number of game balls as prize balls corresponding to a winning opening corresponding to the prize ball command. .

  Accordingly, the payout motor rotates so as to pay out a predetermined number of game balls entering the ball payout unit 130 from the ball tank 110 of the gaming machine main body B under the drive of the motor drive circuit 131. The payout motor is disposed in the payout main body 130 a of the ball payout unit 130.

  The system control unit 500b is composed of a microcomputer, and the system control unit 500b executes an effect control program by the CPU according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. During this execution, the system control unit 500b determines specific production contents based on commands and other signals from the main control device 400 and the push operation output of the production button switch 397, and via the image control unit 500c, The display driving circuit 80b and the both speaker driving circuits SP1 are controlled to be driven together or selectively, and the left frame light emitting diode group L1, the right frame light emitting diode group L2, the upper frame light emitting diode group L3, via the lamp control unit 500d. Various arithmetic processes are performed so that the light emitting diodes of the left side dish light emitting diode group L4 and the right side dish light emitting diode group L5 are both or selectively controlled to emit light.

  In the first embodiment configured as described above, the curved lens 341 of the middle illumination part 340, the curved lens 351 of the upper illumination part 350, and the curved lens 361 of the lower illumination part 360 in the right illumination member 300b. As described above, each of the left side decoration member 300a swells forward than the curved lens 311 of the middle side illumination unit 310, the curved lens 321 of the upper side illumination unit 320, and the curved lens 331 of the lower side illumination unit 330. By having taken out, the right side illumination member 300b has protruded ahead rather than the left side illumination member 300a.

  In addition, as described above, the dish member 390 bulges forward at the bulging tip portion from the bulging tip portion of the upper illumination part 350 in the right lighting member 300b, whereby the right lighting member 300b. It is formed so as to bulge forward.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the right illumination member 300b bulges forward of the front frame 200a with respect to the left illumination member 300a, and the dish member 390 has a front frame 200a with respect to the right illumination member 300b. Bulges forward.

  Here, since it is necessary to supply the game ball to the pachinko gaming machine on the hall side, as described above, the ball lending device U standing on the left side of the pachinko gaming machine passes through the nozzle Ua from the main body. A game ball is supplied into the opening 391a of the tray 391 of the tray member 390. For this purpose, the nozzle Ua must be extended from the casing of the main body of the ball lending device U through the front left portion of the front door FD toward the opening 391a of the plate 391 of the plate member 390.

  For these reasons, the left side portion of the front door FD is configured to be retracted to the rear side of the pachinko gaming machine from the dish member 390. Accordingly, the left electric decoration member 300a is also configured to be retracted to the rear side of the pachinko gaming machine from the dish member 390.

  On the other hand, during the game, the player consciously concentrates on the part related to the winning of the game ball in the pachinko gaming machine, that is, the center of the game board Bb, so that the player is in the center of the front door FD. The center of the game board Bb tends to be intensively viewed through. Therefore, if the outer peripheral part of the front door FD corresponding to the outer peripheral part of the pachinko gaming machine (around the center of the front door FD) does not have any structural features, the player is placed on the outer peripheral part of the front door FD. It ’s hard to turn my eyes.

  With this, the pachinko gaming machine is not configured to strongly attract the player's interest with a high appeal to the player.

  Therefore, in the first embodiment, as described above, in the front door FD, the right side illumination member 300b bulges forward (or front side) than the left side illumination member 300a, and the dish member 390 is provided on the right side illumination. The member 300b is configured to bulge forward (or forward).

  Thereby, in the front door FD, since the degree of each bulging to the front side of the plate member 390, the right side lighting member 300b, and the left side lighting member 300a is different from each other and becomes uneven, the player can play the pachinko gaming machine. The eyes are consciously directed toward the left side illumination member 300a, the right side illumination member 300b, and the dish member 390 around the center of the front door FD (around the center of the front door FD).

  As a result, when the player visually recognizes the left side illumination member 300a, the right side illumination member 300b, and the dish member 390 as a whole from the front side of the front door FD, the appearance of the front door FD (the appearance of the pachinko gaming machine) is It can attract the player's interest with high appeal. In connection with this, the external appearance when visually recognized from the front side of the front door mentioned above can give a comfortable visual sense to a player, for example.

  Here, the right illumination member 300b, the left illumination member 300a, and the dish member 390, respectively, perform an illumination effect toward the front of the front frame 200a with the respective light emitting diodes as described above.

  And since the right side illumination member 300b has bulged ahead of the front frame 200a rather than the left side illumination member 300a, the curved lens 341 and the upper side illumination part 350 of the middle side illumination part 340 in the right side illumination member 300b. As described above, the curved lens 351 and the curved lens 361 of the lower illumination part 360 are respectively the curved lens 311 of the middle illumination part 310 and the curved lens 321 of the upper illumination part 320 in the left illumination member 300a. It bulges forward from the curved lens 331 of the lower electric decoration part 330.

  Accordingly, each curved lens 341, 351, and 361 has a curved spread on the left and right sides on the front side of each curved lens 311, 321 and 331 with respect to the front surface of the front frame 200a. For this reason, the electrical decoration effect by the right electrical decoration member 300b is made to spread further to the left and right sides on the front side as compared with the electrical decoration effect by the left electrical decoration member 300a. Thereby, the visual recognition effect of the player can be further enhanced.

  Further, in the right illumination member 300b, the lens 351 of the upper illumination part 350 bulges forward than the long curved lens 341 of the middle illumination part 340 and the curved lens 361 of the lower illumination part 360. . Accordingly, the dish member 390 bulges forward from the bulging tip portion of the upper electric decoration part 350 at the bulging tip portion, and the dish member 390 is in front of the front frame 200a of the front door FD. With respect to the right side illumination member 300b.

  Here, the dish member 390 performs an illumination effect with each of the light emitting diodes by the left and right side dish illumination members 390b and 390c. As described above, the left and right side dish lighting members 390b and 390c extend obliquely downward to the right and diagonally downward to the left along the bulging surface of the dish body 390a. This means that the illumination effect of the left and right side dish decoration members 390b and 390c is made further forward than the illumination effect of the right illumination member 300b.

  As described above, the right electric decoration member 300b bulges forward from the left electric decoration member 300a and the dish member 390 bulges forward from the right electric decoration member 300b. Based on this, the appearance when the left electric decoration member 300a, the right electric decoration member 300b, and the dish member 390 are visually recognized from the front side of the front frame 200a as a whole can give the player a more comfortable visual sense.

  In addition, as described above, on the assumption that the right electric decoration member 300b bulges forward from the left electric decoration member 300a and the dish member 390 bulges forward from the right electric decoration member 300b, the dish Since the lighting effect of the member 390 is made in combination with the lighting effects of the left lighting member 300a and the right lighting member 300b, the visual effect of the lighting effect on the player can be further enhanced. .

  Next, when the pachinko gaming machine is in an operation state in which a game can be performed by feeding power from the DC circuit PS with the above-described configuration, the main control device 400 and the sub control device 500 are in an operation state. Accordingly, main controller 400 causes CPU 430 to start executing a timer interrupt control program, which is a main control program, according to the flowchart of FIG. This execution is started every time a pulse signal is generated from the soft timer 440.

  In addition, when the main control device 400 starts executing the timer interrupt control program as described above, at the present stage, the game ball to the start winning port of the first or second start winning port device 30 or 40 of the game ball Since there is no winning or passing of the game ball of the through gate 50, the timer interruption program passes through the first starting winning opening processing routine 600, the second starting winning opening processing routine 700, the gate processing routine 800, and the winning ball processing routine 900. The process proceeds to a special symbol processing routine 1000, a normal symbol processing routine 1100, a special prize opening processing routine 1200, an electric chew processing routine 1300, and an output processing routine 1400.

  Further, when the pachinko gaming machine is in an operating state as described above, the sub control device 500 is in an operating state. Accordingly, the payout control unit 500a starts executing the payout control program, the system control unit 500b starts executing the effect control program according to the flowcharts of FIGS. 12 and 13, and the image control unit 500c Then, the execution of the image display control program is started, and the lamp control unit 500d starts the execution of the lamp control program. As a result, the pachinko gaming machine is put in a state of waiting for the start of the game by the player.

  In such a state, when the player receives the rental of the game ball from the ball rental unit U, the rental game ball passes through the nozzle U1 from the ball rental unit U, and the opening 391a in the tray 391 of the tray member 390. It is paid out through and stored.

  Thereafter, if the player turns the handle of the pachinko gaming machine, the game balls in the tray 391 are sequentially sent onto the launch rail of the ball launcher via the ball feeder. Fired and guided through the guide rail 20 into the game area 12.

  Then, when the timer interruption program proceeds to the first start prize opening processing routine 600 (see FIG. 9), the processing of the first start prize opening processing routine 600 is the first start prize opening of the first start prize opening device 50. Is made to provide a jackpot lottery opportunity based on winning game balls.

  As described above, each time a game ball sequentially guided into the game area 12 wins the first start winning port of the first start winning port device 50, the winning of each game ball is received by the first start winning port sensor S1. Sequentially detected.

  Further, every time the timer interruption program proceeds to the first start opening process routine 600, the number of winnings (first winning number) to the first starting winning opening is incremented and updated with the new detection by the first starting winning opening sensor S1. Is done. Thereafter, when the first winning number reaches “4”, the processing of the first start port processing routine 600 ends.

  With the completion of the first start winning a prize mouth processing routine 600, the timer interruption program proceeds to the second starting winning a prize mouth processing routine 700. The processing of the second start winning opening processing routine 700 is performed to form a jackpot lottery opportunity based on the winning of a game ball to the second starting winning opening of the second start winning opening device 40.

  As described above, when the game balls sequentially guided into the game area 12 win the second start winning port of the second start winning port device 40, the winning of the game ball is detected by the second start winning port sensor S2. .

  Further, every time the timer interruption program proceeds to the second start opening process routine 700 (see FIG. 9), the number of wins to the second start winning opening (second win number) is increased by a new start winning opening sensor S2. It is added and updated with detection. Thereafter, when the second winning number reaches “4”, the processing of the second start port processing routine 700 ends.

  The timer interruption program proceeds to the gate processing routine 800 with the end of the second start winning a prize opening processing routine 700 as described above. The processing of the gate processing routine 800 is usually performed in order to form an opportunity for lottery of symbols.

  As described above, when the game balls sequentially guided into the game area 12 pass through the gate 50, the passage of the game balls is detected by the gate sensor S3.

  Each time the timer interruption program proceeds to the gate processing routine 800, the number of game balls passed through the gate 50 (number of gate passes) is added and updated with new detection by the gate sensor S3. Thereafter, when the number of passing gates reaches “4”, the processing of the gate processing routine 800 ends.

  Next, when the timer interruption program proceeds to the special symbol processing routine 1000 (see FIGS. 9 and 10), it is determined in step 1010 (see FIG. 10) whether or not a big hit game is being played. At the present stage, if the gaming state is in the big winning opening open gaming state after winning the jackpot, it means that the jackpot game is in progress, so that it is determined as YES in step 1010. Therefore, the special symbol processing routine 1000 proceeds to the end step without starting display of a new special symbol variation.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step 1010 is NO at the present stage, it is determined in the next step 1020 whether the special symbol is changing. If the variation start process in step 1080 is not performed at this stage, the special symbol variation is not in progress, so the determination in step 1020 is NO, and in step 1030, it is determined whether Ua ≧ 1. Ua represents the first winning number.

  Here, if the latest first winning number Ua in the first start winning opening processing routine 600 (see FIG. 9) is Ua = 0, NO is determined in step 1030. On the other hand, if the latest first winning number Ua described above is not Ua = 0, it is determined as YES in Step 1030.

  Next, in step 1031, the first winning number Ua is subtracted and updated based on the following equation (1).

Ua = Ua-1 (1)
Thereafter, in the next step 1040, it is determined whether Ub ≧ 1. Here, Ub represents the second winning number. At this stage, if Ub = 0, the determination in step 1040 is NO. That is, at this stage, since the game ball has not won the start winning port of the second start winning port device 40 during the current special symbol change, the special symbol processing routine 1000 proceeds to the end step.

  Further, when the special symbol processing routine 1000 proceeds to step 1040 as described above, if the latest second winning number Ub is Ub ≧ 1, YES is determined in step 1040. Accordingly, in the next step 1041, the second winning number Ub is subtracted and updated based on the following equation (2).

Ub = Ub−1 (2)
When the processing of step 1041 is performed as described above, the special symbol processing routine 1000 proceeds to the jackpot determination processing subroutine 1050 (see FIG. 10). Here, it is determined whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery that accompanies the winning of the game ball at the starting winning port of the first or second starting winning port device 30 or 40 is a big hit.

  Then, in the next variation pattern selection processing subroutine 1060, at least one variation pattern for jackpot, reach, or deviation is selected and set.

  Next, in the fluctuation start process in step 1070, the main controller 400 causes the CPU 430 to display the first special symbol display 100a or the first special symbol display so as to display the special symbol fluctuation with the fluctuation pattern selected in the fluctuation pattern selection processing subroutine 1060. 2 The special symbol display device 100b is driven.

  For this reason, the first special symbol display device 100a or the second special symbol display device 100b displays the special symbol variation by the variation pattern. In addition, when it is premised on the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening of the first start winning opening device 30, the first special symbol display device 100a displays the special symbol variation, and the second starting winning opening device 40 is displayed. In the case where it is assumed that a game ball is won at the starting winning opening, the second special symbol display 100b displays the special symbol variation.

  After the process of step 1070, the measurement of the variation time of the variation pattern is started in the variation time measurement start process in step 1080. Here, the time of the variation time is measured by another soft timer built in the main controller 400.

  After that, when the special symbol processing routine 1000 proceeds to step 1020 again, if it is determined YES, in the next step 1090, it is determined whether or not the variable time is over. At the present stage, if the time when the variation time measurement is started in step 1080 has not yet reached the predetermined variation time, the determination in step 1090 is NO.

  In such a state, when the special symbol processing routine 1000 subsequently proceeds to step 1090 at least once, if the time when the variation time measurement started in step 1080 has reached the predetermined variation time, the step At 1090, the determination is YES. Then, in the fluctuation stop process at step 1090a, main controller 400 causes CPU 430 to stop displaying the special symbol fluctuation by first special symbol display device 100a or second special symbol display device 100b described above.

  After the process of step 1090a, in the variable time reset process in step 1090b, the predetermined variable time is reset, and the special symbol processing routine 1000 proceeds to the stopped processing subroutine 1090c. In this stop processing subroutine 1090c, it is determined whether or not it is a win or a big win, and processing such as time reduction, probability change, or the like is performed.

  When the special symbol processing routine 1000 ends in this way, the timer interrupt control program proceeds to the normal symbol processing routine 1100 (see FIGS. 9 and 11). Then, in step 1110 (see FIG. 11), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing. If the game state at the current stage is not in the normal symbol fluctuation state, it is determined whether G ≧ 1 in step 1120 after determining NO in step 1110. Here, G represents the latest gate passing number of game balls in the gate processing routine 800 (see FIG. 9).

  Therefore, if G = 0, the determination in step 1120 is NO. Accordingly, since there is no winning for starting the lottery of the normal symbols, the normal symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to the end step.

  On the other hand, if G ≧ 1 is established in step 1120, it is determined YES, and in step 1121, the gate passing number G is decremented and updated by “1” based on the following equation (3).

G = G-1 (3)
Next, in step 1130, it is determined whether or not it is a hit. In other words, at this stage, if the normal symbol winning lottery result associated with the passing of the game ball through the through gate 50 is a win, the determination in step 1130 is YES, and the winning symbol is determined in the winning symbol set process in the next step 1131. Set. If the determination in step 1130 is NO, the missing symbol is set in the missing symbol setting process in step 1132.

  After the processing in step 1131 or 1132, it is determined in step 1140 whether or not the game state is a probability change gaming state. If the game state at the current stage is a probability variation game state, YES is determined in step 1140, and then in step 1141, the variation time is set to 3 (seconds). On the other hand, when the determination in step 1140 is NO, since the current gaming state is the normal gaming state or the latent probability changing gaming state, in step 1142, the variation time is set to 29 (seconds).

  After the processing of step 1141 or step 1142 is performed in this way, in the fluctuation start processing in step 1150, the normal symbol display 90 uses the normal symbol display 90 to set the winning symbol set in step 1131 or set in step 1132. The display of the fluctuation of the off symbol is started. Accordingly, in the variable time counting start process in step 1160, another soft timer built in main controller 400 is reset to start timing.

  Thereafter, when the normal symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to step 1110 again, since the fluctuation has already started in step 1150, YES is determined in step 1110. Then, in step 1170, it is determined whether or not the variable time is over. Here, if the time measured by the soft timer that has already started counting in step 1160 does not reach the variation time (set time in step 1141 or step 1142), the determination in step 1170 is NO.

  In this state, when the normal symbol processing routine 1100 proceeds to step 1170 at least once thereafter, the time measured by the soft timer that has already started timing in step 1160 has reached the predetermined fluctuation time. For example, YES is determined in step 1170. Accordingly, in the fluctuation stopping process in step 1171, the display of the winning symbol fluctuation or the deviation symbol fluctuation started in step 1150 is stopped on the normal symbol display 90. In step 1172, the above fluctuation time (set time in step 1141 or step 1142) is reset.

  When the processing of the normal symbol processing routine 1100 is completed as described above, the timer interruption program proceeds to the big prize opening routine 1200 (see FIG. 9). In the special winning opening process routine 1200, the special winning opening process is repeated from the 15th round to the 15th round. Accordingly, the big prize opening device 70 repeatedly opens the big prize opening based on the big hit opening pattern. As a result, the game balls that are sequentially guided into the game area 12 as described above are likely to repeatedly enter the big prize opening of the big prize opening device 70, and as a result, the player can acquire many prize balls. I can expect.

  When the processing of the special winning opening processing routine 1200 is completed as described above, the timer interruption program proceeds to the next electric chew processing routine 1300 (see FIG. 9). In the electric chew processing routine 1300, if the game state at the current stage is a probability change game state, the opening time of the start winning port of the second starting winning port device 40 is set to 3.5 (seconds). If the game state of the stage is not the probability variation game state but the normal game state or the latent probability variation game state, the opening time of the start winning port of the second starting winning port device 40 is set to 0.2 (seconds).

  Accordingly, the second start winning a prize opening device 40 is driven by the electric Chu actuator 41 for 3.5 (seconds) or 0.2 (seconds) under the control of the CPU 430 of the main control device 400. . For this reason, the 2nd start prize opening device 40 opens the start prize opening. Thereby, the player can expect an increase in the winning of the game ball to the starting winning port of the second starting winning port device 40.

  When the processing of the electric chew processing routine 1300 is completed as described above, the timer interruption program proceeds to the output processing routine 1400 (see FIG. 9). In this output processing routine 1400, the detection outputs of the first and second start winning port sensors S1, S2 performed in the respective processes of the first starting winning port routine 600 to the electric chew processing routine 1300, the normal winning port sensor S4. The detected output and other various processing data are output as output data to the payout control unit 500a and the system control unit 500b of the sub control device 500.

  In accordance with the effect processing by the main control device 400 as described above, in the sub control device 500, the payout control unit 500a performs the payout effect processing, and the system control unit 500b together with the image control unit 500c and the lamp control unit 500d. Then, system rendering processing is performed.

  After the payout control unit 500a of the sub-control device 500 starts executing the payout control program as described above, when various output data is output from the main control device 400 to the sub-control device 500 as described above, If the output data includes payout data (detection output of the big prize opening sensor S5, etc.), the payout control unit 500a receives the payout data and performs payout processing of the game ball, and outputs the payout output to the motor drive circuit 131. Output to.

  Accordingly, the ball payout unit 130 pays out the game ball according to a predetermined payout condition under the driving of the payout motor by the motor drive circuit 131. Specifically, when a game ball stored in the tank 110 passes through the tank rail unit 120 and is supplied to the ball payout unit 130, the ball payout unit 130 pays out the game ball from the tank rail unit 120. The main body 130a pays out into the plate 391 of the plate member 390 through the discharge passage 130b under the driving of the above-mentioned discharge motor in accordance with predetermined discharge conditions.

  When the system control unit 500b of the sub-control device 500 starts executing the effect control program according to the flowcharts of FIGS. 12 and 13 in conjunction with the effect processing by the main control device 400 as described above, step 2000 (see FIG. 12). In FIG. 4, the presence or absence of output data is determined.

  If the output data is output to the system control unit 500b at the current stage, YES is determined in step 2000. If there is no output data output to the system control unit 500b, NO is determined in step 2000, and the effect control program proceeds to the end step (see FIG. 12).

  If YES is determined in step 2000 as described above, in the next step 2100, it is determined whether or not a special symbol variation is started. Here, if the special symbol variation start processing has been performed in step 1070 of FIG. 10, it is determined YES in step 2100 because the special symbol variation has been started.

  Corresponding to the start of such special symbol variation, a decorative symbol variation process is performed in step 2110. In the decorative symbol variation process, the decorative symbol variation is started. When the decoration design starts to change, the effect display device 80 is driven and controlled by the display drive circuit 80b by the image control unit 500c under the control of the system control unit 500b, and the left design, middle design and Changes in the right pattern are displayed over time.

  For example, when the right symbol (for example, “2”) stops after the left symbol (for example, “2”) stops after the start of the variation during the variation display by the effect display device 80, the right symbol stop stage. Then reach is established. Along with this, the effect display device 80 performs effect display in an effect mode representing reach. Thereby, the player can recognize the possibility of jackpot.

  Thereafter, when the middle symbol stops, for example, if the middle symbol is “2”, the left symbol side, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are both the number “2”. The result of the jackpot lottery that is the cause of this is a jackpot.

  In addition, if the stopped middle symbol is “3”, for example, the left symbol and the right symbol are different, the result of the big hit lottery that is the cause of the special symbol variation is out of place.

  Thereafter, when the special symbol variation is completed, it is determined as YES in Step 2120. Along with this, the decorative symbol variation ends in the decorative symbol variation end processing in step 2121.

  Next, in step 2130 (see FIG. 12), it is determined whether or not the game is a big hit. Here, if the jackpot is established under the stop of the middle symbol as described above, it is determined as YES in Step 2130. Then, in the jackpot setting process in step 2130a, the jackpot is set.

  Accordingly, a jackpot game display effect process is performed in step 2131. Here, the display display device 80 is driven and controlled by the display drive circuit 80b by the image control unit 500c under the control of the system control unit 500b, and a display effect mode (for example, a rainbow effect mode) representing a big hit is obtained. To produce effects.

  Next, in the next step 2132, jackpot illumination effect processing is performed. In the jackpot lighting effect processing, the left lighting member 300a and the right lighting member 300b are controlled by the lamp control unit 500d under the jackpot lighting effect command from the system control unit 500b, and represent the jackpot. The lighting effect is performed in a lighting mode (for example, a rainbow lighting mode).

  Specifically, the light emitting diodes 332 to 335 of the lower illumination part 330 of the left illumination member 300a, the light emitting diodes 312 to 314 of the middle illumination part 310, and the light emitting diodes 322 to 322 of the upper illumination part 320, respectively. 324 sequentially emits light in that order, while the light emitting diodes 362 to 365 of the lower illumination part 360 of the right illumination member 300b, the light emitting diodes 342 to 344 of the middle illumination part 340, and the upper illumination The light emitting diodes 352 to 354 of the unit 350 sequentially emit light in that order.

  In other words, the left frame light emitting diode group L1 sequentially emits light in the order of the light emitting diodes 332 to 335, 312 to 314, and 322 to 324, while the right frame light emitting diode group L2 includes each light emitting diode 362. ˜365, 342 to 344 and 352 to 354 sequentially emit light in that order.

  In the first embodiment, each of the light emitting diodes 332 to 335, 312 to 314, and 322 to 324 of the left frame light emitting diode group L1 sequentially emits light from the light emitting diode 332 to the light emitting diode 324, and in synchronization with this sequential light emission, The light emitting diodes 362 to 365, 342 to 344, and 352 to 354 of the right frame light emitting diode group L2 emit light from the light emitting diode 362 to the light emitting diode 354.

  Here, each light-emitting diode of the left-side frame light-emitting diode group L1 emits light with various light changes such as blinking and luminance change (electrical decoration changes representing a big hit electric decoration aspect such as a rainbow electric decoration aspect). Each light-emitting diode of the light-emitting diode group L2 is accompanied by a light change similar to the light change of each light-emitting diode of the corresponding left-side light-emitting diode group L1 (electric decoration change representing a jackpot electric decoration aspect such as a rainbow electric decoration aspect). Emits light.

  In addition, in accordance with each illumination effect of the lower illumination part 330 of the left illumination member 300a as described above, the left dish illumination member 390b and the right dish illumination member 390c are subjected to a big hit from the system control unit 500b. Under the decorating effect command, the lighting control is performed by the lamp control unit 500d, and the lighting effect is performed in an electric lighting effect mode (for example, a rainbow lighting mode) that represents a jackpot.

  Specifically, the left side dish lighting member 390b is changed by various light changes such as blinking, full color change and luminance change in each light emitting diode 393 of the left side dish light emitting diode group L4 (big hit lighting such as rainbow lighting style) While the right side plate illumination member 390c is flashing, various color changes such as full color change and luminance change in each light emitting diode 395 of the right side plate light emitting diode group L5. It emits light with accompanying (electric decoration change representing a jackpot electric decoration aspect such as a rainbow electric decoration aspect).

  According to the above, both the left electric decoration member 300a and the right electric decoration member 300b are jackpot electric decoration aspects, and along the left frame part and the right frame part of the front frame 200a, the electric lighting effect by light from the bottom to the top I do. Here, the left side dish decorating member 390b and the right side dish decorating member 390c perform the jackpot lighting effect together with the jackpot lighting effects of the left side lighting member 300a and the right side lighting member 300b.

  Thereby, the player can continue the game while enhancing the interest while expecting to acquire a large number of game balls by jackpot with the illumination effect of the left illumination member 300a and the right illumination member 300b. In addition, the left dish illumination member 390b and the right dish illumination member 390c are combined with the illumination effect of the left illumination member 300a and the right illumination member 300b to perform the jackpot illumination effect, thereby further enhancing the player's interest. The game can be continued while improving the game.

  When the processing of the big hit electrical decoration effect processing 2132 is completed as described above, in the next step 2133, the big hit sound electrical decoration effect processing is performed. Here, in the upper effect member 300c, the upper illumination part 370 is controlled by the lamp control part 500d under the jackpot illumination instruction command from the system control part 500b, and each light emitting diode of the upper frame light emitting diode group L3 is controlled. At 372 and 373, light is emitted and a jackpot illumination effect by light change is performed. Both sound production units 380 are controlled by the image control unit 500c under a jackpot sound production command from the system control unit 500b, A big hit effect by sound is performed by the speaker SP.

  Accordingly, the upper illumination part 370 has the upper illumination part 370 and the both sound effect part 380, and the illumination and sound effect, and the left illumination member 300a and the right illumination member 300b described above. It is possible to further diversify the electric lighting effects of the plate lighting member 390b and the right side plate lighting member 390c, and further improve the above-described interest.

  On the other hand, as described above, if the stopped symbol is different from the stopped left symbol or the stopped right symbol and the deviation is established, it is determined as NO in step 2130 described above. Along with this, in the next step 2140 (see FIG. 13), in the outlier setting process, the establishment of outage is set.

  Then, in the off-game display effect process in step 2141, the effect display device 80 is controlled by the lamp control unit 500 d under the control of the system control unit 500 b, and performs effect display in a display effect mode that represents a disengagement. As a result, the player recognizes that the result of the jackpot lottery is out of play.

  When the out-of-game display effect process in step 2141 ends, it is determined in next step 2150 whether there is a customer waiting command. Here, if the customer waiting command is not output from the main controller 400 to the system controller 500b, it is determined as NO in step 2150.

  On the other hand, if the customer waiting command has been output from main controller 400 to system controller 500b, the determination in step 2150 is YES. Then, in the next step 2160, it is determined whether or not a predetermined customer waiting time has elapsed. Here, the predetermined customer waiting time refers to a predetermined time after completion of the off-game display effect process in step 2141.

  At this stage, since the predetermined customer waiting time has not yet elapsed, the determination in step 2160 is NO.

  During the cyclic processing of both steps 2150 and 2160, if the predetermined customer waiting time elapses based on the output of the customer waiting command from the main control device 400 to the system control unit 500b, it is determined YES in step 2160. Is done.

  If YES is determined in step 2160, a customer waiting mode display effect process is performed in step 2161 based on the customer waiting command. Accordingly, the display display device 80 is driven and controlled by the display drive circuit 80b by the image control unit 500c under the control of the system control unit 500b, and has a display effect mode similar to the jackpot display effect mode. Display production. Thereby, in the game until immediately before in the pachinko gaming machine, an impression as if a lot of game balls were acquired is given to the new customer by the effect display device 80.

  Next, in step 2170, it is determined whether or not the customer waiting mode display effect has ended. If the customer waiting mode display effect has not ended at the current stage, the determination in step 2170 is NO.

  Thereafter, during the process of circulating both steps 2161 and 2170, if the customer waiting mode display effect ends, YES is determined in step 2170. This means that the customer waiting in the pachinko gaming machine has ended.

  If the determination in step 2170 is YES as described above, it is determined in next step 2180 whether or not the game has started. At this stage, when a new customer rotates the handle in the pachinko gaming machine, the ball launcher launches the game ball toward the game area 12 of the game board Bb via the guide rail 20.

  When the launch of the game ball is detected by a launch sensor (not shown) provided in the ball launch device, the detection result serves as a game start signal indicating the start of the game, and YES is determined in step 2180. Is done.

  On the other hand, if there is no detection by the launch sensor as described above, there is no new customer and the game does not start despite the end of the customer waiting mode display effect after the predetermined customer waiting time has elapsed. , NO is determined.

  Along with this, in the next step 2181, the customer waiting mode illumination effect processing is performed. In this customer waiting mode illumination effect processing, the light emitting diodes of the left illumination member 300a, the right illumination member 300b, the left dish illumination member 390b, and the right dish illumination member 390c are controlled by the system controller 500b. And the lighting control effect is controlled by the lamp control unit 500d in a manner similar to the above-mentioned jackpot lighting effect.

  Thereby, when a new customer sees the front door FD of the pachinko gaming machine, the new customer is left side lighting member 300a, right side lighting member 300b, left side plate lighting member 390b and right side plate lighting member. It will be visually recognized that 390c is performing the electrical lighting effect in the above-described guest lighting electrical lighting effect mode.

  As a result, the new customer is in a guest-lighted lighting effect mode similar to the jackpot lighting effect produced by the left side lighting member 300a, the right side lighting member 300b, the left side plate lighting member 390b, and the right side plate lighting member 390c. Therefore, based on the electric decoration production, the pachinko gaming machine will cause an illusion as if it has already acquired a lot of game balls due to the jackpot, thereby inducing the new customer to play with the pachinko gaming machine Can do.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, as described above, the right electric decoration member 300b bulges forward from the left electric decoration member 300a, and the dish member 390 forwards from the right electric decoration member 300b. Bulges.

  Here, as described above, in order to extend the nozzle Ua from the casing of the main body of the ball lending device U through the front left portion of the front door FD toward the opening 391a of the plate 391 of the plate member 390, the front door FD The left side portion of the front door FD is configured to be retracted to the rear side of the pachinko gaming machine together with the left side lighting member 300a, and the outer periphery of the front door FD (around the center of the front door FD) If there is no feature, the player does not easily turn his eyes to the outer peripheral portion of the front door FD. As described above, the right electric decoration member 300b is connected to the left electric decoration member 300a in the front door FD. In addition, the plate member 390 bulges further forward than the right electric decoration member 300b.

  Thereby, in the front door FD, since the degree of each bulging to the front side of the plate member 390, the right side lighting member 300b, and the left side lighting member 300a is different from each other and becomes uneven, the player can play the pachinko gaming machine. The eyes are consciously directed toward the left side illumination member 300a, the right side illumination member 300b, and the dish member 390 around the center of the front door FD (around the center of the front door FD).

  As a result, when the player visually recognizes the left side illumination member 300a, the right side illumination member 300b, and the dish member 390 as a whole from the front side of the front door FD, the appearance of the front door FD (the appearance of the pachinko gaming machine) is It can attract the player's interest with high appeal.

The lighting effect is performed so that the front is illuminated with light from each light emitting diode over a wider area than the lighting effect. In addition, since the dish member 390 bulges forward from the right illumination member 300b, it is convenient for the player to easily touch the dish member 390 and perform operations necessary for the game. The dish member 390 is likely to exert an influence of light on the player due to the lighting effect.

  Therefore, such an influential dish member 390, together with the lighting effects of the left side lighting member 300a and the right side lighting member 300b, produces an lighting effect that illuminates the front with light. As a result, the visual recognition effect of the player on the electrical decoration effect of the front door FD can be further enhanced.

  Further, the effect display device 80 is controlled by the system control unit 500b and the image control unit 500c, so that the jackpot game display effect process in step 2131, the out-of-game display effect process in step 2141 or the customer waiting mode display effect process in step 2161. On the basis of the display, a customer waiting mode display effect similar to the jackpot display effect, the out-of-line display effect or the jackpot display effect is displayed.

  Here, the left illumination member 300a, the right illumination member 300b, and the dish illumination means 390b, 390c are subjected to the customer waiting mode illumination effect processing in step 2181 under the control of the system control unit 500b and the lamp control unit 500d. Based on this, the customer waiting mode illumination effect similar to the jackpot illumination effect is performed.

  Thus, after the customer waiting mode display effect by the effect display device 80 is made, the customer waiting mode lighting effect is performed by the left side lighting member 300a, the right side lighting member 300b, and the plate lighting means 390b, 390c.

(Third embodiment)
18-20 has shown the principal part of 3rd Embodiment of this invention. In the third embodiment, a right illumination member 300d and a handle Ha are employed instead of the right illumination member 300b and the handle H described in the second embodiment.

  In the third embodiment, the right side illumination member 300d is configured with a middle side illumination part 340a and upper and lower side illumination parts 350a, 360a. Here, the middle side lighting part 340a and the upper and lower side lighting parts 350a, 360a are respectively the middle side lighting part 310a and the upper and lower side lighting parts 320a described in the first embodiment. , 330 swells to the front side (the front side of the front frame 200a).

  The middle side illumination part 340a is provided in a longitudinal shape along the vertical middle part of the right side frame part of the front frame 200a instead of the middle side illumination part 340 described in the second embodiment. The middle side illumination part 340 a includes a longitudinally curved lens 346 instead of the longitudinally curved lens 341 of the middle side illumination part 340. The longitudinally curved lens 346 is made of a transparent resin material and is shorter than the longitudinally curved lens 341 of the middle side illumination part 340 and longer than the longitudinally curved lens 311 of the middle side decoration part 310 (front side). It is formed in a longitudinal band shape with a curved cross section so as to bulge to the front side of the frame 200a. In addition, the other structure of the middle side illumination part 340a is the same as that of the middle side illumination part 340.

  The upper illumination part 350a is provided over the upper part of the right frame part of the front frame 200a and the right part of the upper frame part of the front frame 200a, instead of the upper illumination part 350 described in the second embodiment. The upper illumination part 350 a includes a lens 356 instead of the lens 351 of the upper illumination part 350.

  The lens 356 is made of a transparent resin material and has a shape similar to the lens 351. However, as shown in FIG. 18 or FIG. 19, the lens 356 is shorter than the lens 351 of the upper illumination part 350 and longer than the lens 321 of the upper illumination part 320 to the front side of the front frame 200a. It is formed to bulge. In addition, the other structure of the upper side illumination part 350a is the same as that of the upper side illumination part 350.

  Instead of the lower illumination part 360a described in the second embodiment, the lower illumination part 360a spans the lower part of the right frame part of the front frame 200a and the right part of the lower frame part of the front frame 200a. The lower illumination part 360a is provided with a lens 367 instead of the lens 361 of the lower illumination part 360.

  The lens 367 is made of a transparent resin material and has a shape similar to the lens 361. The lens 367 is formed on the long curved lens portion 361a and the curved Y-shaped lens portion 361b of the lens 361. A corresponding long curved lens portion 367a and a curved Y-shaped lens portion 367b are formed.

  Here, the long curved lens portion 367a and the curved Y-shaped lens portion 367b are formed in a shape similar to the long curved lens portion 361a and the curved Y-shaped lens portion 361b. However, the longitudinally curved lens part 367a and the curved Y-shaped lens part 367b are, as shown in any of FIGS. 18 to 20, the longitudinally curved lens part 361a and the curved Y-shaped part of the lower illumination part 360. It is shorter than the lens part 361 b and longer than the long curved lens part 331 a and the curved Y-shaped lens part 331 b of the lower illumination part 330, and is formed so as to bulge to the front side of the front frame 200. This means that the lens 367 is shorter than the lens 361 and bulges to the front side longer than the lens 331 of the lower illumination part 330.

  The bulging length of the right electric decoration member 300d configured in this way is shorter than the bulging length of the right electric decoration member 300b described in the second embodiment, and more than the bulging length of the left electric decoration member 300a. Is also getting longer. In addition, the other structure of the upper side illumination part 350a is the same as that of the upper side illumination part 350.

  In the third embodiment, the handle Ha extends to the front side, which is longer than the bulging length of the right electric decoration member 300d and the handle H described in the second embodiment, and shorter than the dish member 390. It is formed as follows. This is because the extension length of the handle Ha is longer than the extension length of the right electric decoration member 300d and the extension length of the handle H described in the second embodiment, and the extension of the plate member 390 is extended. It means that it is shorter than the extended length.

  In other words, in the third embodiment, the handle Ha is positioned between the bulging tip portion of the right electric decoration member 300d and the bulging tip portion of the dish member 390 at the extended tip portion. Further, the handle Ha extends forward from the opening 391a of the plate 391 of the plate member 390. Other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment.

  In the third embodiment configured as described above, as described above, the handle Ha has the bulging tip portion of the right electric decoration member 300d and the bulging tip portion of the dish member 390 at its extended tip portion. Located between.

  Accordingly, the left side illumination member 300a described in the second embodiment, the right side illumination member 300d in the third embodiment, the handle Ha in the third embodiment, and the dish described in the second embodiment. In the order of the members 390, the front frame 200a described in the second embodiment is further expanded or extended to the front side.

  Here, as described in the first embodiment, the left side portion of the front door FD is configured to be retracted to the rear side of the pachinko gaming machine together with the left side lighting member 300a. If the outer periphery of the front door FD does not have any structural features, the player does not readily look at the outer periphery of the front door FD (around the center of the front door FD). In the door FD, as described above, the handle Ha extends forward from the bulging tip portion of the left electric decoration member 300a and the right electric decoration member 300d, and the dish member 390 is ahead of the extension tip portion of the handle Ha. It was configured to bulge out.

  Thereby, in the front door FD, since the degree of each bulging to the front side of the plate member 390, the handle Ha, the right side lighting member 300b, and the left side lighting member 300a is different from each other and becomes uneven, The eyes are even more consciously directed toward the left side illumination member 300a, the handle Ha, the right side illumination member 300d, and the dish member 390 around the center of the pachinko gaming machine.

  As a result, when the player visually recognizes the left side illumination member 300a, the right side illumination member 300d, the handle Ha, and the dish member 390 as a whole from the front side of the front door FD, the appearance of the front door FD (the appearance of the pachinko gaming machine) ) Can attract the player's attention with even higher appeal. In connection with this, the external appearance when visually recognized from the front side of the front door mentioned above can give a more comfortable visual sense to a player, for example.

  In the third embodiment, as described above, the left side illumination member 300a described in the first embodiment, the right side illumination member 300d described in the first embodiment, the handle Ha, and the dish member 390 are provided. Assuming that the plate member 390 is longer in order and bulges or extends to the front of the front frame 200a, the lighting effects of the dish member 390 are the lighting effects of the left lighting member 300a and the right lighting member 300b. Since this is done in combination, the visual effect of the lighting effect on the player can be further enhanced than in the case of the first embodiment.

  Here, while the left side illumination member 300a is divided into the middle side illumination part 310, the upper side illumination part 320, and the lower side illumination part 330, the right side illumination member 300d is divided into the middle side illumination part 340a and the upper side illumination part 340a. It is divided into an illumination part 350a and a lower illumination part 360a. Therefore, also in the third embodiment, the left electric decoration member 300a and the right electric decoration member 300b can easily realize various electric decoration effects.

  In the third embodiment, the handle Ha extends forward from the opening 391a of the plate 391 of the plate member 390 as described above. This is to make it easier for the player to ergonomically extend the left hand with respect to the opening 391a of the plate 391 and the right hand with respect to the handle Ha without causing confusion in the brain. Thus, the player can easily operate the handle Ha with the right hand while playing with the game ball in the opening 391a of the dish 391 with the left hand without causing fatigue.

  Also in the third embodiment, similarly to the second embodiment, after the customer waiting mode display effect by the effect display device 80, the left side illumination member 300a, the right side illumination member 300b, and the dish illumination means 390b, Since the customer waiting mode illumination effect is performed by 390c, when the new customer sees the front door FD of the pachinko machine, the new customer performs the customer waiting mode effect display described above by the effect display device 80. After that, it will be visually recognized that the left side illumination member 300a, the right side illumination member 300d, the left side plate illumination member 390b, and the right side plate illumination member 390c perform the above-described customer waiting mode illumination effect.

As a result, a new customer will have an even stronger illusion as if the pachinko machine has already gained more game balls as a result of winning the jackpot. It becomes possible to guide more strongly. Other operations, performance processing, and operational effects are the same as in the second embodiment.
