The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. The thing with the shape of etc. can be mentioned. In this specification, “identification information” may be called a main game symbol / special symbol (special symbol) or a decorative symbol (design), but the “special symbol (special symbol)” is the main control board. The “decorative pattern (design)” is identification information as an effect displayed on the sub-control board side. “The identification information can be displayed” is not limited to a display method. For example, the light emission of a light emitting member (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7-segment) (including not only the presence / absence of light emission but also a color difference), physical Display (for example, a symbol drawn on a reel band is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position). “Direction” refers to display content that enhances the fun of the game. For example, identification information fluctuates / stops, notices, etc., moving images such as animation and live action, still images such as pictures, photos, characters, etc. Combinations can be mentioned. “Open state, open state” and “closed state, closed state” are, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), open state = easy-to-win state and closed state = non-winning state Easy state. Also, for example, a state protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as advance state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (side opposite to the player side) (hereinafter referred to as retreat state) In a configuration (so-called velo-type attacker) that can take the following condition, the advance state = easy-to-win state and the evacuation state = non-easy-to-win state. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Also, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but one entry (for example, starting entrance) that triggers the acquisition of random numbers. The random number obtained by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, the random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number... Is referred to as one random number) . Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). In the case of a pachinko gaming machine, the “gaming state” means, for example, a special gaming state in which the grand prize opening can be opened, or a non-stochastic variable gaming state in which the transition lottery probability to the special gaming state is a predetermined value. Probability variation game state with high probability of lottery transition to special game state, auxiliary game state with assistance for winning at start port that becomes lottery trigger for transition to special game (so-called normal symbol short time state, for example, variable at start port) When the member is attached, the variable member has a long open period, the variable member has a high open probability, the variable member open lottery result notification time is short), etc. is there.

Next, the medal selector DS will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a path (selector) of game medals inserted into the medal insertion slot D170 inside the spinning cylinder type gaming machine P. The medal selector DS is provided with an insertion acceptance sensor D10s serving as a passage for game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 in the vicinity of the door substrate D, and below the insertion reception sensor D10s, a game medal is discharged to the discharge opening D240. For example, a coin shooter D90 is provided. The insertion acceptance sensor D10s has a function of selecting game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 mainly based on dimensions, and accepting only game medals that conform to the standard dimensions. The selected medal (or other foreign matter) is returned to the discharge port D240 by the blocker D100. If the player inserts a game medal before operating the start lever D50 (in a state where the insertion of the game medal is valid), the game medal is selected by the insertion acceptance sensor D10s, and only those satisfying the standard are selected. A medal that does not satisfy the standard and is inserted into the hopper H40 is returned to the discharge port D240 through the coin shooter D90. On the other hand, when a game medal is inserted after the start lever D50 is operated (in a state where the insertion of the game medal is not valid), regardless of whether the standard is satisfied, the inserted game medal Is returned to the discharge port D240 through the coin shooter D90. In addition, a sensor relating to medal insertion, which will be described in detail later, is provided inside the insertion acceptance sensor D10s (the back of the flow path). The signal is detected by the second input sensor D30s and the signal is supplied to the main control board M to be described later.

  Next, a sensor related to medal insertion will be described in detail. A game medal inserted into the medal slot D170 first passes through the slot acceptance sensor D10s. The insertion acceptance sensor D10s is a mechanical double sensor, and when the game medal passes, it turns on when the two protruding mechanisms are pressed, and the game medal can normally pass through the passage. . Also, with this configuration, when a foreign object that is not a game medal (a foreign object that does not satisfy the standard, for example, a diameter smaller than the game medal) is inserted, the two protruding mechanisms are pressed down. Not. Such medals cannot be maintained in the standing state, and thus cannot pass through the passage (the medals fall down), and are paid back to the discharge port D240 through the coin shooter D90 as described above. In addition, the insertion acceptance sensor D10s is configured to be able to determine that there is an error even when the on-time continues for a predetermined time or longer (as a result, the blocker D100 can be turned off). .

  When the game medal normally passes through the blocker D100, it passes through the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s immediately after passing. The throwing sensors (first throwing sensor D20s and second throwing sensor D30s) are composed of two sensors (adjacently arranged at an interval smaller than the standard diameter of the game medal), and each sensor is turned on. -Various errors can be detected by monitoring the off-state (the order of transition of the on / off combination of the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s, etc.) and the on / off time. It is configured.

<Medal paying device HP>
Next, the medal payout device HP will be described in detail with reference to a front view and a top view of the medal payout device HP in FIG. The medal payout device HP operates the checkout button in the state where credits (game medals stored electronically inside the gaming machine) or bets (medals inserted to start the game) exist. It is activated when a game medal is paid out by winning or winning. In operation, first, the hopper motor H80 is driven to rotate the disk H50 about the disk rotation axis H50a. Due to the rotation, the game medals in the medal payout device HP are displaced from the game medal outlet H60 toward the discharge port D240 by displacing the discharge urging means H70. The payout sensors (the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s) are composed of two sensors, and the ON / OFF status of each sensor (the ON / OFF state of the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s). By monitoring the order of transition of the combination of off, etc.) and the time of on / off, various errors can be detected. More specifically, for example, when the game medal outlet H60 normally passes, the first payout sensor H10s = off and the second payout sensor H20s = off due to the displacement of the discharge biasing means H70. 1 payout sensor H10s = off / second payout sensor H20s = off → first payout sensor H10s = on / second payout sensor H20s = off → first payout sensor H10s = on / second payout sensor H20s = on → first payout Sensor H10s = off / second payout sensor H20s = on → first payout sensor H10s = off / second payout sensor H20s = off, so that when a movement contrary to this sensor state transition is detected It is possible to exemplify the configuration of an error.

First, the configuration and function of the light emitting member 1000 will be described.

<Light emitting member 1000>
FIG. 5A is a front view showing the appearance of the light emitting member 1000. FIG. 5B is a schematic view showing one light emitting region 100 among the plurality of light emitting regions 100 constituting the light emitting member 1000.

  The light emitting member 1000 has a thin plate shape (sheet shape, film shape), and has a substantially rectangular shape in front view. The thickness of the light emitting member 1000 is approximately 0.5 mm, for example. The length of the light emitting member 1000 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction can be appropriately determined according to the mode to be used. Note that the light emitting member 1000 is made of a transparent material whose rear side is visible over substantially the entire light emitting member 1000 including the light emitting region 100 described later.

  The light emitting member 1000 can be used by being attached to an object such as a glass plate or an acrylic plate. Further, as will be described later, each member constituting the light-emitting member 1000 has flexibility (flexibility), and the light-emitting member 1000 has flexibility (flexibility). It can be bent or bent according to the shape. For example, the light emitting member 1000 can be deformed according to the outer shape or outline of the object and adhered to the surface of the object. In this case, the horizontal and vertical lengths of the light emitting member 1000 can be determined according to the size of the object. Specific usage examples will be described later.

  Furthermore, the shape of the light emitting member 1000 itself can be determined as appropriate in accordance with not only the substantially rectangular shape but also the outer shape and contour of the object. Furthermore, the light emitting member 1000 can be cut and used in accordance with the outer shape or outline of the object.

The light emitting member 1000 has a plurality of light emitting regions 100. As shown in FIG. 5A, the light emitting region 100 is arranged along the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the light emitting member 1000. That is, the plurality of light emitting regions 100 are arranged in a matrix shape or a lattice shape on the light emitting member 1000. One light emitting region 100 constitutes one pixel (pixel). In addition to such an arrangement, the light emitting region 100 can be arranged in a direction different from the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, for example, along an oblique direction, or along a predetermined curve. . It is sufficient that desired information (image) can be displayed on the light emitting member 1000 by the light emission of the plurality of light emitting regions 100. The quality of the image displayed on the light emitting member 1000 is determined by the number of pixels (resolution) according to the interval between the adjacent light emitting regions 100, and is mainly displayed as an image similar to a so-called dot image. Further, the light emitting member 1000 can be used as a light source by emitting light from the plurality of light emitting regions 100.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, each of the light emitting regions 100 includes three light emitting elements: a first light emitting element 1010, a second light emitting element 1020, and a third light emitting element 1030. For example, the light emitting element can be a light emitting diode element (LED) or the like. The light-emitting element is not a chip used as a so-called mounting component, but is a member that emits light. By doing in this way, it can make it difficult to visually recognize the light emitting element arrange | positioned at the light emitting member 1000. FIG. One set of the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 forms one light emitting region 100 to form one pixel.

By arranging in this way, the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 adjacent to each other can be arranged to be separated by the same distance. Note that the arrangement of the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 is not limited to this, and may be determined according to desired information. For example, the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 can be arranged linearly.

  The first light emitting element 1010 is a red LED element, the second light emitting element 1020 is a green LED element, and the third light emitting element 1030 is a blue LED element. The light emitting region 100 can emit light in multiple colors over the entire light emitting member 1000, and various desired information such as characters, figures, symbols, and other patterns can be emitted in multiple colors. It can be displayed on the member 1000. Details of the structures of the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 will be described later.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 5A, the example in which the plurality of light emitting regions 100 are uniformly formed on the entire light emitting member 1000 is shown, but the light emitting member 1000 may be formed only on a part of the light emitting member 1000. For example, the plurality of light emitting regions 100 can be formed only in the peripheral region of the light emitting member 1000, only in the four corner regions of the light emitting member 1000, or only in the central region of the light emitting member 1000. Furthermore, you may form the several light emission area | region 100 so that a predetermined figure may be drawn within the surface where the light emitting member 1000 extends. Moreover, you may form so that the density of arrangement | positioning of the several light emission area | region 100 may differ. For example, the light emitting regions 100 may be formed so as to be densely arranged in a certain region and sparsely arranged in the remaining region.

The interval at which the body 2100 can be sufficiently deformed cannot be secured, and the urging force generated by the elastic deformation of the first support body 1100 and the second support body 2100 becomes small. For this reason, the first conductive layer 1120 cannot be sufficiently pressed against the first electrode 1012, and the second conductive layer 2120 cannot be sufficiently pressed against the second electrode 1014. The electrical contact state between the layer 1120 and the first electrode 1012 and the electrical contact state between the second conductive layer 2120 and the second electrode 1014 must be reduced. In addition, it may be difficult to stably hold the first light-emitting element 1010.

  Similarly, a plurality of second light emitting elements 1020 and third light emitting elements 1030 are juxtaposed on the second intermediate layer 1300. When the plurality of second light emitting elements 1020 and the third light emitting elements 1030 are arranged so that the second light emitting elements 1020 and the third light emitting elements 1030 adjacent in the second intermediate layer 1300 are too close to each other. In this case, it is not possible to ensure a sufficient interval for the second support 2100 and the third support 3100 to be deformed, and the biasing force generated by the elastic deformation of the second support 2100 and the third support 3100 is not possible. Becomes smaller.

  Therefore, the state of electrical contact between the third conductive layer 2130 and the first electrode 1022 of the second light-emitting element 1020, the second conductive layer 3120 and the second electrode 1024 of the second light-emitting element 1020, or the like. , Electrical contact state between the third conductive layer 2130 and the first electrode 1032 of the third light emitting element 1030, and fourth conductive layer 3120 and the third light emitting element 1030. The electrical contact state with the second electrode 1034 must be lowered. In addition, it may be difficult to stably hold the second light-emitting element 1020 and the third light-emitting element 1030.

  On the other hand, when the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 are arranged close to each other in both the first intermediate layer 1200 and the second intermediate layer 1300. The second light emitting element 1020 and the third light emitting element 1030 are pressed by the first light emitting element 1010, and the first light emitting element 1010 is pressed by the second light emitting element 1020 and the third light emitting element 1030. It is possible to improve the electrical contact state by pressing each other.

  That is, when the first light emitting element 1010 protrudes toward the second intermediate layer 1300, the second support 2100 is elastically deformed toward the second intermediate layer 1300. By the elastic deformation of the second support 2100, the third conductive layer 2130 is pressed against the first electrode 1022 of the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third conductive layer 2130 is pressed by the third light-emitting element 1030. One electrode 1032 is pressed. Accordingly, the contact state between the third conductive layer 2130 and the first electrode 1022 of the second light-emitting element 1020 and the contact between the third conductive layer 2130 and the first electrode 1032 of the third light-emitting element 1030 are reduced. The state can be improved.

  On the other hand, when the second light emitting element 1020 and the third light emitting element 1030 protrude toward the first intermediate layer 1200, the second support 2100 is elastically deformed toward the first intermediate layer 1200. To do. By the elastic deformation of the second support 2100, the second conductive layer 2120 is pressed against the second electrode 1014 of the first light emitting element 1010. Accordingly, the contact state between the second conductive layer 2120 and the second electrode 1014 of the first light-emitting element 1010 can be improved.

  Specifically, for both the first intermediate layer 1200 and the second intermediate layer 1300, the adjacent first light emitting element 1010, second light emitting element 1020, and third light emitting element 1030 are in front view, A two-dimensional close-packed structure can be formed by being positioned so as to be positioned at the apex of the equilateral triangle, and the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 Can improve each other's contact state.

  Note that when the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 are too close to each other, the first support 1100, the second support 2100, and the third support In some cases, the body 3100 cannot be elastically deformed sufficiently. Therefore, it is preferable that the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 be spaced apart as appropriate. For example, the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element are separated by about the thickness of the first support 1100, the second support 2100, and the third support 3100. 1030 is preferably arranged.

  As described above, the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 are staggered at equal intervals for both the first intermediate layer 1200 and the second intermediate layer 1300. By arranging in this manner, the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 can be arranged close to each other. The first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 are arranged close to each other and emit light from each, thereby increasing the resolution of the light-emitting member 1000 and displaying desired information in detail. can do.

  Note that if contact state and holding stability can be ensured, the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 may partially overlap each other as well as being arranged alternately. You may arrange in.

Specifically, the first electrode 1012 of the first light emitting element 1010 is electrically connected to each of the end portions 1122A, 1122B, 1122C,... Of the circuit pattern formed in the first conductive layer 1120. Is done. In this manner, by controlling power feeding to each of the plurality of first light emitting elements 1010, light emission of the first light emitting element 1010 can be adjusted separately.

  The third conductive layer 2130 is electrically connected to the first electrode 1022 of the second light-emitting element 1020 and the first electrode 1032 of the third light-emitting element 1030. Specifically, the first electrode 1022 of the second light-emitting element 1020 is electrically connected to each of the end portions 2132A, 2132B, 2132C,... Of the circuit pattern formed in the first conductive layer 1120. The first electrode 1032 of the third light emitting element 1030 is electrically connected to each of the end portions 2134A, 2134B, 2134C,. In this manner, the second light emitting element 1020 and the third light emitting element 1020 are controlled by controlling the power feeding to each of the plurality of second light emitting elements 1020 and the power feeding to each of the plurality of third light emitting elements 1030. The light emission of the light emitting element 1030 can be adjusted separately.

  As described above, the circuit pattern of the first light emitting element 1010 is formed in the first conductive layer 1120, and the circuit pattern of the second light emitting element 1020 and the third light emission are formed in the third conductive layer 2130. A circuit pattern of the element 1030 was formed. As described above, the circuit patterns of the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 can be formed by being dispersed in the first conductive layer 1120 and the third conductive layer 2130. it can. That is, by forming different circuit patterns for the first conductive layer 1120 and the third conductive layer 2130, circuits of the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 are used. Patterns can be distributed and formed. By forming such a circuit pattern, a power feeding structure to the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 can be simplified.

  The first light emitting element 1010 can be a red LED element, the second light emitting element 1020 can be a green LED element, and the third light emitting element 1030 can be a blue LED element. By adjusting the light emission of the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030, various kinds of information such as character information and figures can be displayed in multiple colors on the light emitting member 1000. .

  FIG. 8A shows a circuit pattern formed on the first conductive layer 1120, and FIG. 8B shows a circuit pattern formed on the third conductive layer 2130. A similar circuit pattern can be formed for the conductive layer 2120 and the fourth conductive layer 3120. Note that in the case where the second electrodes 1014 of the plurality of first light-emitting elements 1010 may be electrically connected to the second conductive layer 2120 in common, the second base 2110 may be connected over the entire surface. The conductive layer 2120 can be formed. Similarly, the second electrode 1024 of the plurality of second light-emitting elements 1020 and the second electrode 1034 of the plurality of third light-emitting elements 1030 may be electrically connected to the fourth conductive layer 3120 in common. In that case, the fourth conductive layer 3120 can be formed over the entire surface of the third base 3110.

<Connection with drive circuit>
The first conductive layer 1120, the second conductive layer 2120, the third conductive layer 2130, and the fourth conductive layer 3120 are electrically connected to a drive circuit (not shown) by a connection cable through a connection terminal (not shown). Connected. A current for driving the first light-emitting element 1010 is supplied to the first conductive layer 1120 and the second conductive layer 2120. As a result, lighting, extinction, emission intensity, and the like of the first light emitting element 1010 are controlled. Similarly, current for driving the second light-emitting element 1020 and the third light-emitting element 1030 is supplied to the third conductive layer 2130 and the fourth conductive layer 3120. Accordingly, the lighting and extinction of the second light emitting element 1020 and the third light emitting element 1030, the light emission intensity, and the like are controlled.

  The drive circuit is connected to the main control board M, the sub control board S, the prize ball payout control board KH, etc., and various kinds of signals are supplied from the main control board M, the sub control board S, and the prize ball payout control board KH according to the progress of the game. A control signal is supplied to the drive circuit. Note that a driver IC or the like constituting a part of the drive circuit is provided in the light emitting member 1000, and a first signal is generated by a drive signal (current) output from the driver IC based on a control signal such as a serial signal from the control board. Each light emitting element may be controlled through the conductive layer 1120, the second conductive layer 2120, the third conductive layer 2130, and the fourth conductive layer 3120. The drive circuit may be provided directly on the main control board M, the sub control board S, the prize ball payout control board KH, or the like.

<Light emission of first light-emitting element 1010, second light-emitting element 1020, and third light-emitting element 1030>
When a voltage is applied between the first electrode 1012 and the second electrode 1014 of the first light-emitting element 1010, the first light-emitting element 1010 emits light. The first support 1100 has a light-transmitting property, and light emitted from the first light-emitting element 1010 passes through the first support 1100. For this reason, the light emitted from the first light emitting element 1010 can be visually recognized from the outside on the first support 1100 side.

  In addition, since the second support 2100, the third support 3100, and the second intermediate layer 1300 also have a light-transmitting property, light emitted from the first light-emitting element 1010 is emitted from the second support 2100, The light passes through the second intermediate layer 1300 and the third support 3100. For this reason, the light emitted from the first light emitting element 1010 can be visually recognized from the outside on the third support 3100 side.

  As described above, the light emitted from the first light-emitting element 1010 can be visually recognized from both the outside on the first support 1100 side and the outside on the third support 3100 side.

  Similarly, when a voltage is applied between the first electrode 1022 and the second electrode 1024 of the second light-emitting element 1020, the second light-emitting element 1020 emits light. The first support 1100, the second support 2100, and the first intermediate layer 1200 have a light-transmitting property, and light emitted from the second light-emitting element 1020 is emitted from the second support 2100, the first intermediate layer 1200, and the first support 2100. The intermediate layer 1200 and the first support 1100 are transmitted. For this reason, the light emitted from the second light-emitting element 1020 can be visually recognized from the outside on the first support 1100 side.

  In addition, since the third support 3100 also has a light-transmitting property, light emitted from the second light-emitting element 1020 passes through the third support 3100. For this reason, the light emitted from the second light emitting element 1020 can be visually recognized from the outside on the third support 3100 side.

  As described above, the light emitted from the second light-emitting element 1020 can be viewed both from the outside on the first support 1100 side and from the outside on the third support 3100 side.

  Further, when a voltage is applied between the first electrode 1032 and the second electrode 1034 of the third light-emitting element 1030, the third light-emitting element 1030 emits light. Similarly to the second light emitting element 1020, the light emitted from the third light emitting element 1030 can be visually recognized from the outside on the first support 1100 side and the outside on the third support 3100 side. it can.

  In order for the light emitted from the first light emitting element 1010 to reach the third support 3100, it is necessary to pass through the second intermediate layer 1300. In addition, light emitted from the second light-emitting element 1020 and the third light-emitting element 1030 needs to pass through the first intermediate layer 1200 in order to reach the first support 1100. Therefore, depending on the material and thickness of the first intermediate layer 1200 and the second intermediate layer 1300, the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 are supplied. Accordingly, the intensity of light emitted from the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 can be made uniform.

  In the above-described example, the light emitted from the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 is emitted from the outside on the first support 1100 side to the third support. Although the case where it can be visually recognized from the outside on the 3100 side is shown, light may be emitted only from the first support 1100 side or only from the third support 3100 side. The materials constituting the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030, the first conductive layer 1120, the second conductive layer 2120, the third conductive layer 2130, and the fourth The direction in which light is emitted can be controlled by appropriately using a material that forms the conductive layer 3120 or the like.

  Note that in the case where the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 itself have a light-transmitting property, the first electrodes 1012, 1022, and 1032, the second electrode 1014, By making 1024 and 1034 small, the emitted light is hardly blocked and the amount of light emitted to the outside of the light emitting member 1000 can be increased.

  The light-emitting member 1000 functions as a light source that can emit multicolor light by emitting light using the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030 that have different emission colors. . The light emitting member 1000 functions as a display device that can display various patterns in addition to characters, figures, symbols, character images, and the like by controlling the display mode of each of the plurality of light emitting regions 100. .

  Note that as described above, the circuit pattern of the first light-emitting element 1010 is formed in the first conductive layer 1120, and the circuit pattern of the second light-emitting element 1020 and the third pattern are formed in the third conductive layer 2130. A circuit pattern of the light emitting element 1030 is formed. Each of these circuit patterns can group several light emitting regions 100 and light emitting elements to form a plurality of sets. For example, only the light emitting region 100 corresponding to the first set of circuit patterns can emit light, or only the light emitting element corresponding to the second set of circuit patterns can emit light. Further, only the light emitting region 100 corresponding to the third set of circuit patterns can be turned off. By forming a plurality of sets in this way, when power is supplied to one set of circuit patterns of the plurality of sets, the light emitting regions 100 connected to the one set of circuit patterns are simultaneously the same. Depending on how the light emitting region 100 and the light emitting elements are combined, such as causing each light emitting element to emit light, causing each of a plurality of light emitting element groups to emit light, and causing all the light emitting areas 100 to emit light. The number of production patterns can be made different.

  As described above, the light emitting member 1000 is a member that functions as a light source or a display device. By this light emitting member 1000, a transmissive effect display device TSG for executing effects can be configured. Specifically, the transmissive effect display device TSG includes a light emitting member 1000, a drive circuit, and a connection cable.

<Frame Ground Circuit Pattern 1050>
Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, a frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is formed along the outer periphery of the light emitting member 1000. The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 has a substantially rectangular shape. The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 has an end portion 1055, and the end portion 1055 is accommodated in the connector 1057. By attaching a cable (not shown) to the connector 1057, the end 1055 and the cable can be electrically connected. The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is connected to the end 1055, the connector 1057, and the cable. Connected to the frame ground line. The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 can be grounded by grounding the frame ground line. The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is a circuit through which a current can flow.

  The frame ground is an electrical connection for determining a reference potential of the casing of the gaming machine. By grounding (grounding) the frame ground, a reference potential can be determined, and even if an electric leakage occurs, an electric shock can be prevented by flowing a current to the ground. On the other hand, the gaming machine ground (signal ground) is an electrical connection for determining a common reference potential for circuits of various boards such as the main control board M and the sub-control board S. The reference potential can be stabilized by grounding the gaming machine ground. In addition, when the gaming machine ground is grounded, the potential of the frame ground and the potential of the gaming machine ground can be set to the same potential to reduce noise. Here, the “substrate” refers to a board on which circuit elements are incorporated or printed wirings are formed for an integrated circuit or the like. For example, there are a printed circuit board and a silicon single crystal plate.

  The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is formed by, for example, forming a thin film made of a transparent conductive material, which will be described later, by sputtering or electron beam evaporation, and patterning the obtained thin film by laser processing, etching, or the like. Can do.

  The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is formed on one of the first conductive layer 1120, the second conductive layer 2120, the third conductive layer 2130, and the fourth conductive layer 3120. The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is formed on any of the conductive layers while maintaining an insulating state with the circuit patterns for driving the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030. The Further, only when the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is formed on any one of the first conductive layer 1120, the second conductive layer 2120, the third conductive layer 2130, and the fourth conductive layer 3120. Instead, the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 can be formed over some of the plurality of conductive layers. It may be formed over two conductive layers, may be formed over three conductive layers, or may be formed over all four conductive layers. Even when the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is formed across a plurality of conductive layers, in the light emitting member 1000, the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030 are provided. The circuit pattern for driving is not electrically connected but is formed in an insulated state. For example, in order to avoid interference with circuit patterns for driving the first light-emitting element 1010, the second light-emitting element 1020, and the third light-emitting element 1030, a circuit pattern for frame ground 1050 is formed across a plurality of conductive layers. Can be formed.

  Even if the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is formed on a single conductive layer or a plurality of conductive layers, the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 may be formed so as not to loop. desirable.

  When the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is not formed, a strong electromagnetic wave is emitted near the light emitting member 1000, and when a high voltage signal is applied to the light emitting member 1000, the main control board M or the like In some cases, a high voltage signal is supplied to the sub-control board S and the like, which affects the main control board M and the sub-control board S. However, as described above, when the circuit pattern 1050 for the frame ground is formed on the light emitting member 1000 and electrically connected to the frame ground line (not shown), electromagnetic waves are emitted near the light emitting member 1000. Even in such a case, the high voltage signal flows through the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 to the frame ground line. When the frame ground line is grounded outside the housing, the high-voltage signal flows to the ground. When the frame ground line is not grounded outside the housing, the high-voltage signal is attenuated by the noise countermeasure protector. Is done. Thus, even when electromagnetic waves are emitted near the light emitting member 1000, the flow into the main control board M, the sub control board S, etc. can be prevented, and the contents of the game and the sub control board M can be prevented. It is possible to prevent the contents of the effect on the control board S from being affected.

  The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is electrically independent from the circuit patterns for driving the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030. Even when a current flows through the frame ground circuit pattern 1050, the influence is given to the circuit pattern for driving the first light emitting element 1010, the second light emitting element 1020, and the third light emitting element 1030. There is nothing.

  In addition to the above embodiment, the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 can be formed on a fifth conductive layer (not shown) different from the first to fourth conductive layers. From the viewpoint of suppressing noise contamination from the front of the machine, it is desirable that the conductive layer closest to the player among the first to fifth conductive layers be the formation layer of the frame ground circuit pattern 1050. It is also possible to form it over substantially the entire surface of the light emitting member 1000. In addition, for example, from the viewpoint of suppressing mixing of noise generated when a medal passes through a medal flow path for guiding a medal inserted from the medal insertion slot to the hopper, the conductive layer closest to the flow path It is desirable to use the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 as a formation layer (generally, the conductive layer farthest from the player corresponds). Furthermore, in the case where noise tolerance is prioritized over the transparency (transparency) of the transmission effect display device TSG (light emitting member 1000), two additional layers for forming the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 are provided. It can also arrange | position on both surfaces so that a 4th layer may be pinched | interposed, In that case, it is also possible to electrically connect two newly provided layers. Further, after forming the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 on the outer periphery of any one (or a plurality of layers) of the first to fourth layers as in the present embodiment, the both surfaces (two newly provided surfaces) are formed. It is also possible to provide a formation layer of the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 and to electrically connect them, and in this case, the entire surface of the pattern connected to the light emitting element is covered with the frame ground layer (frame The layer of the ground circuit pattern 1050) can be covered, and noise from the light emitting member 1000 can be further suppressed.

  Next, the figure case FC provided on the front right side of the front door DU will be described. In this embodiment, a figure case unit FCU is constituted by the figure case FC and the movable body accessory YK. On the inner surface of the figure case FC, a transmission effect display device TSG (the light emitting member 1000) is provided. Specifically, the figure case FC is made of a synthetic resin material such as translucent polycarbonate, and includes a case member having a front surface portion FCF and a substantially semicircular bottom surface portion FCB, and is attached to the front door DU. A movable body accessory YK (figure) is provided in the accommodating space formed between the attachment surface of the figure case FC of the middle panel D110 and the figure case FC, and the transparency effect display device TSG is provided on the inner surface of the front face FFC. A light emitting member 1000 is attached.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the front surface portion FCF of the case member utilizes the characteristic that the light emitting member 1000 of the transmissive effect display device TSG can be bent, closely adheres along the inner surface thereof, and displays the transmissive effect. The device TSG is pasted. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the figure provided inside the figure case FC through the figure case FC and the light emitting member 1000 of the transmission effect display device TSG.

  A frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is positioned along the outer shape of the front surface portion FCF on the light emitting member 1000 of the transmissive effect display device TSG attached to the front surface portion FCF of the case member of the figure case FC. In this example, the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 includes a frame ground circuit pattern 1050A and a frame ground circuit pattern 1050B. The frame ground circuit pattern 1050A and the frame ground circuit pattern 1050B are electrically connected to form a frame ground circuit pattern 1050.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since the circuit pattern 1050 for the frame ground is configured, even when strong electromagnetic waves are emitted near the figure case FC, the transmission effect attached to the figure case FC is provided. The frame ground circuit pattern 1050 of the light emitting member 1000 of the display device TSG can cause a high voltage signal to flow through the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 to the frame ground line and be arranged at a position close to the player. Mixing of noise from many figure cases FC can be suitably suppressed.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a list of basic specifications of the swivel type gaming machine P in the present embodiment. The spinning-reel type gaming machine P according to this embodiment has a specified number (the maximum number of game medals that can be bet in one game) of three, and the number of frames of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53 are all 20. The valid line for which the frame and winning determination is made is one line of “lower left reel M51, middle reel M52 middle, upper right reel M53”, the maximum payout number is 7, and the minimum payout number is 1 (the winning combination and the payout number) The bonus symbol is “Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” (finished with a payout of more than 450), and the first type BB (a so-called first type special accessory continuous operating device) It has become. In addition, the order of priority winning (in order of drawing-in priority) is “re-playing role → small role (bell, watermelon, etc.) → bonus”. For example, when the re-playing role and bonus are established at the same time The symbol combination which becomes the re-game player is stopped and displayed, and the bonus cannot be won. Also, when the bell and watermelon are established, if a stop button is pressed at a position where both can be retracted (positions within 4 frames to the winning stop position), priority is given to a small part with a large number of payouts. It is configured to retract. The configuration shown in the figure is merely an example, and the number of frames of each reel is changed (for example, changed to 21 frames), or the configuration of the effective line is changed (for example, 5 lines of 3 horizontal lines and 2 diagonal lines). There is no problem even if it is changed to line). In addition, as a pull-in control when a push order small role that gives different profits to the player depending on the push order is won, a small role with a large number of payouts is operated when operated in a predetermined correct push order. Is given priority (number priority control), and can be displayed in a stop position (within 4 frames from the stop operation) when operated in an incorrect answer push order different from the correct answer push order. Among the symbols arranged), control (number priority control) is performed to increase the possibility of winning (the number of winning combinations among the plurality of winning symbol combinations is the highest).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a list of reel arrangements of the rotating type gaming machine P in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the number of frames of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52 and the right reel M53 are all 20 frames (0 to 19), and the symbols are “Seven”, “Sheep”, “Blank B”. ”,“ Bell ”,“ Replay A ”,“ Replay B ”,“ Watermelon A ”,“ Watermelon B ”,“ Cherry ”, and“ Blank A ”. Here, “Blank A” and “Blank B” are symbols included in the symbol combination that constitutes the winning combination in the same manner as other symbols, and do not mean the symbol that does not constitute the winning combination, but “blank A”. As a combination of symbols constituting a winning combination including, for example, “Watermelon B / Replay A / Blank A” is a replay 03, and as a symbol combination configuring a winning combination including “Blank B”, for example, It is replay 03 with "Watermelon B / Replay A / Blank B". The configuration shown in the figure is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the type of design is increased / decreased / changed.

  Next, FIGS. 12 to 15 are symbol combination lists 1 to 4 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of symbol combinations for each condition device. As will be described later, depending on the stop order and stop position of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53, This one symbol combination is configured to be stopped and displayed on the effective line (one line described above). In addition, even if the same type of symbols is not available on the active line, the same symbols are easily arranged in a line on the lines other than the active line when viewed from the player. It is configured so that three watermelon symbols are aligned on one line on the reel, such as aligned on a horizontal line).

  Next, FIG. 16 to FIG. 20 are condition device lists 1 to 5 in the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the re-playing role is provided from re-playing-A to re-playing H3 (conditional device numbers 1 to 22), and in the stop order and stop position of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52 and the right reel M53. Correspondingly, the replaying combination to be stopped and displayed can be different. The condition device number may be referred to as a winning number. The item “push order etc.” describes the types of re-game players that are stopped and displayed in the stop order, for example, “left reel M51: 1, middle reel M52: 2, right reel M53: 3”. "123" means that the operation is stopped in the pressing order of "left reel M51-> middle reel M52-> right reel M53". For example, "replay C-1" (condition device number 7) In this case, when the stop is performed in the order of “123” = “left → middle → right”, the symbol combination “replay 06” is stopped and displayed. Furthermore, when the order is stopped in the order of “left → right → middle”, the symbol combination “replay 04” is stopped and displayed, and if the middle first stop is performed, regardless of the types of reels of the second stop and the third stop When the symbol combination “replay 04” is stopped and displayed, and the right first stop is performed, the symbol combination “replay 03” is stopped and displayed regardless of the types of reels of the second stop and the third stop. It becomes. By configuring in this way, if the correct answer can be made in the push order, the gaming state (state related to AT or RT state) is promoted (transition to a gaming state that is highly profitable for the player), or if the correct answer cannot be made in the push order, the gaming state (related to AT) It is possible to create a game such that the state or the RT state) falls (shifts to a gaming state having a low profit for the player). Further, in the case of “winning-A1 (bell)” (condition device number 23), “123” = “left → middle → right” is stopped in this order, that is, when the correct answer is given in the pressing order, seven payouts are obtained. It is configured so that it is stopped in the other pressing order, that is, if one cannot answer correctly in the pressing order, it is configured to pay out one sheet. By configuring in this way, it is related to ATs such as “AT in progress” and “AT in preparation” The navigation order of the re-game player and the pushing order of the bell are navigated in the state (the pushing order with the highest profit is displayed on the push order display device D270), and the ATs such as “normal gaming state” and “AT precursor state” It is possible to create a plurality of gaming states in which the player's profit rate is different from pushing the navigation order to the state. The state related to AT will be described later. In the case of “winning-E1” (condition device number 42), “123” = “left → middle → right” is stopped in this order, that is, if the correct answer is given in the order of pushing, three payouts will be made, and other pushes Even when stopped in order, that is, when the correct answer cannot be made in the order of pushing, the payout of 3 sheets is made with a probability of 1/4. Further, the specific symbol is stopped (configured so that no medal is paid out) in 3/4 when the correct answer cannot be made. Here, “the specific symbol is stopped” means that the symbol combination that triggers the transition to the RT state is stopped (displayed). In the present embodiment, as described in the RT state transition diagram of FIG. 38 to be described later, when “RT0”, “RT2”, and “RT3” are stopped, a specific symbol is stopped so that the transition to “RT1” is performed. Yes.

  Next, FIG. 21 shows a lottery probability (also referred to as a winning rate) in which a condition device number (winning number, also referred to as a winning combination) relating to a small combination and a replaying combination in the present embodiment is determined by a winning lottery means. It is a list. In the figure, the winning rate of the condition device number is illustrated. For example, in the case of “winning-E1”, the specific symbol can be stopped, but the probability that the specific symbol actually stops is It does not stop at the indicated probability (80/65536), and in a situation where push order navigation does not occur, it does not answer correctly in the order of the three choices that the three-piece combination will win, and a specific operation If the operation is not performed at the timing, the specific symbol is stopped, and in a situation where push order navigation can occur, if the reel is stopped according to the push order navigation, the three-piece combination will always win a prize. . Specifically, for example, in a situation where the condition device number 42 corresponding to “winning-E1” is determined, (1) when the left stop button D41 is operated in the first stop operation, winning 09 to winning If any three of 12 winning combinations win (2-1) the middle stop button D42 is operated in the first stop operation, the bell symbol stops on the middle reel, and (2-2) the second 2 When the left reel is stopped by the stop operation, either watermelon A or watermelon B (the watermelon pattern constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after receiving the stop operation) is stopped according to the stop operation timing. (2-3) When the right reel is stopped by the third stop operation, the seven symbols (the seven symbols constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after the stop operation is received) are stopped and displayed according to the stop operation timing. And when When operated in a stop operation timing can not stop displaying the emission pattern (operation timing other than seven symbol watermelon A~ symbol number 8 symbol number 4 in the upper part of the right reel) stops displaying the replay A. For this reason, the specific symbol 02 shown in FIG. 15 is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when the middle stop button D42 is operated in the (3-1) first stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the middle reel, and (3-2) the right reel is stopped in the second stop operation. In this case, the seven symbols (the seven symbols constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after the stop operation is received) are stopped and displayed depending on the stop operation timing, and the stop operation timing (right reel) where the seven symbols cannot be stopped and displayed. In the upper stage, when the operation is performed at a timing other than the watermelon A of the symbol number 4 to the seven symbol of the symbol number 8, the replay A is stopped and displayed. (3-3) When the left reel is stopped by the third stop operation, depending on the stop operation timing, watermelon A or watermelon B (the watermelon symbol constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after the stop operation is received) Either of the above is stopped. For this reason, the specific symbol 02 shown in FIG. 15 is stopped and displayed. Thus, when the first stop operation is the middle reel, the right reel is operated at a specific operation timing (the operation timing of the symbol No. 4 watermelon A to symbol No. 8 Seven symbol on the upper stage of the reel). Since the symbol combination corresponding to the winning 13 is configured to be stopped and displayed, the winning probability of the winning 13 is 5/20 (1/4). In addition, if the right reel is operated at a timing other than a specific operation timing (operation timing of watermelon A of symbol number 4 to symbol number 8 on the upper part of the reel), it is not a symbol combination corresponding to winning 13 but a symbol combination. Since the symbol combination corresponding to the symbol is configured to be stopped and displayed, the stop display probability of the specific symbol is 15/20 (3/4).

  Similarly, (4-1) when the right stop button D43 is operated in the first stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the right reel, and (4-2) the left reel is stopped in the second stop operation. In the event of a stop operation, either the sheep, watermelon A or watermelon B (the symbol constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after receiving the stop operation) is stopped, and (4-3) the third stop When the middle reel is stopped by the operation, the blank symbol B (the blank symbol B constituting the winning prize 17 within four frames after the stop operation is received) is stopped and displayed depending on the stop operation timing. Stop operation timing at which symbol B cannot be stopped (operation time other than symbol No. 18 sheep, symbol No. 19 replay A, symbol No. 0 cherry to symbol No. 2 blank B symbol in the middle reel) When operated in grayed) stops displaying the cherry symbol. For this reason, the specific symbol 03 shown in FIG. 20 is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when the right stop button D43 is operated in the (5-1) first stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the right reel, and (5-2) the middle reel is stopped in the second stop operation. In this case, when the blank symbol B (blank symbol B constituting the winning prize 17 within 4 frames after the stop operation is received) is stopped and displayed by the stop operation timing, and when the blank symbol B cannot be stopped and displayed. If the operation is performed in the middle of the middle reel (designation number 18 sheep, design number 19 replay A, design number 0 cherry to design number 2 blank B design timing), the cherry design is stopped. (5-3) When the left reel is stopped by the third stop operation, sheep or watermelon A or watermelon B (four frames after the stop operation is received) depending on the stop operation timing. One of symbols) constituting the winning 13 to stop display located within. For this reason, the specific symbol 03 shown in FIG. 20 is stopped and displayed. As a result, when the first stop operation is the right reel, the middle reel has a specific operation timing (middle of the middle reel, symbol number 18 sheep, symbol number 19 replay A, symbol number 0 cherry to symbol number 2). When the operation is performed at an operation timing other than the blank B symbol), the winning combination probability of winning 17 is 5/20 (1 / 4). In addition, the middle reel is operated at a specific operation timing (operation timing other than symbol No. 18 sheep, symbol No. 19 replay A, symbol No. 0 cherry to symbol No. 2 blank B symbol in the middle stage of the middle reel). In such a case, the symbol combination corresponding to the specific symbol is stopped and displayed instead of the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 17, so that the stop display probability of the specific symbol is 15/20 (3/4). It becomes. Although the stop display of the specific symbol when “winning-E1” is determined as the conditional device number has been described, the probability that this specific symbol is stopped is also the same for “winning-E2” to “winning-E6”. It has been calculated.

  For example, when the condition device number 43 corresponding to “winning-E2” is determined and the first stop operation is the middle reel, the timing (1/4) when the sheep symbol is stopped and displayed on the right reel. When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 14 is stopped and displayed, and at the other operation timing (3/4), the specific symbol 02 or the specific symbol 03 is stopped and displayed. In the situation where the condition device number of “Winning-E2” is determined, when the first stop operation is the right reel, the operation is performed at the timing (1/4) at which the watermelon A is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 18 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 03 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Further, in a situation where the condition device number 44 corresponding to “winning-E3” is determined, when the first stop operation is the left reel, the timing when the blank B is stopped and displayed on the middle reel (1/4). When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to winning 09 is stopped and displayed, and at the other operation timing (3/4), the specific symbol 01 is stopped and displayed. In the situation where the condition device number of “Winning-E3” is determined, when the first stop operation is the right reel, the operation is performed at the timing (1/4) at which the watermelon B is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning 19 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 03 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Further, in a situation where the condition device number 45 corresponding to “winning-E4” is determined, when the first stop operation is the left reel, the timing (1/4) at which the watermelon A is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 10 is stopped and displayed, and at the other operation timing (3/4), the specific symbol 01 is stopped and displayed. In the situation where the condition device number of “winning-E4” is determined, when the first stop operation is the right reel, the operation is performed at the timing (1/4) at which the blank A is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning 20 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 03 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Further, in a situation where the condition device number 46 corresponding to “winning-E5” is determined, when the first stop operation is the left reel, the timing (1/4) at which the watermelon B is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 11 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 01 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4). In the situation where the condition device number of “winning-E5” is determined, when the first stop operation is the middle reel, the operation is performed at the timing (1/4) when the blank A is stopped and displayed on the right reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 15 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 02 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Also, in the situation where the condition device number 47 corresponding to “winning-E6” is determined, when the first stop operation is the left reel, the timing when the blank A is stopped and displayed on the middle reel (1/4) When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 12 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 01 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4). In the situation where the condition device number of “Winning-E6” is determined, when the first stop operation is the middle reel, the operation is performed at the timing (1/4) when the blank B is stopped and displayed on the right reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning 16 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 02 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the appearance rate (lottery probability) of the winning combination (particularly the replaying combination) can be different depending on the RT state. (Appearance rate) is higher in the case of “RT3” than in other RT states. In addition, “re-game 03, 04” that can be stopped and displayed in the condition device numbers 7 to 14 (so-called falling re-game players, the combination of symbols corresponding to the re-game players is stopped in a situation where bonuses are not won. When displayed, the normal gaming state ("RT1") will be selected mainly at "RT3" and hardly appear in other RT states. In addition, “re-game 05” that can be stopped and displayed in the condition device numbers 2 to 6 (the promoted re-game that will be promoted to “RT 2” when the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game player is stopped and displayed in RT1. The role) is configured to appear only at “RT1”. In addition, if the symbol combination corresponding to the re-gamer is stopped and displayed on “RT2”, the promotion that will be promoted to “RT3” can be stopped and displayed on the condition device numbers 7 to 11 The “re-game player” is mainly won at “RT2” and hardly appears in other RT states. Note that the transition of the state relating to the RT state and AT associated with the stop display of the symbol combination serving as the re-gamer will be described later. Further, as will be described later, in the present embodiment, the push order display device D270 and the effect display device SG can be configured to execute push order navigation for notifying the player of the reel stop order that is most advantageous to the player. If the reels are not stopped in accordance with the push order navigation, the lottery probability of the winning combination to win is different from the value shown in the figure {for example, “RT1” and no push order navigation occurs ( In the “normal game state” and the like, the probability that the bell (7-piece combination) is stopped and displayed is lower than the probability shown in the figure. } There is no problem even if the lottery probability is appropriately changed. Further, in the present embodiment, the bonus is configured to be able to overlap with a small role, and overlaps with a part of weak watermelon, strong watermelon, strong chance eye, etc. (for example, a part of strong watermelon is “Bonus + Strong watermelon”, configured to win “Individual strong watermelon” on 130/65536 and “Bonus + Strong watermelon” on 30/65536). Note that the weak watermelon with the condition device number 48 overlaps with the bonus number 20, the strong watermelon with the condition device number 49 has the placement number 30, and the strong chance with the condition device number 50 has the overlap of the placement number 10 with the bonus. In addition, the small role probability shown in the figure is a probability when the BB is not activated, and when the BB is activated, the seven (for example, the seven symbols can be stopped and displayed) with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/100). (Re-playing role) is won, and all others are configured to win “Winning-I” (special role in RB). Note that the overlap with the bonus is not limited to the watermelon (small role), and may overlap with a part of the re-game. For example, a part of the strong cherry (replaying combination) of the condition device number 16 or all of the strong cherries (replaying combination) may overlap with the bonus combination (in this embodiment, regardless of the RT state). The number 2 is duplicated with the bonus combination). Further, it may overlap with a part of the RT transition replay (replay-C1 to replay-C5) of the condition device numbers 7 to 11 or the entire RT transition replay (in this embodiment, depending on the RT state). The re-game-C1 to the re-game-C5 may be overlapped by 1 each (one in total (5)). In this way, by making the bonus overlap with the RT transition replay, the bonus may be won even when the RT transition replay is won. Even if the RT transition replay is stopped, the bonus is denied. Therefore, it is possible to give the player expectations. Thus, for example, the probability of overlapping winning with a bonus combination and any small combination is 60/65536, the probability of overlapping winning with a bonus combination and any replaying combination is 7/65536, and the bonus combination is independent. The probability of winning is determined as 33/65536, and the total value of the probability of winning the bonus combination is 100/65536.

  The lower part of the figure shows a list of expected values when there is push order navigation. In this figure, when the push order navigation is executed in a state where the push order navigation can be executed in the push order display device D270 and the effect display device SG in the AT state or the like, the reel is stopped according to the navigation. The average number of payouts per game (the average number of medals to be paid out by winning small roles, also referred to as the expected number of game media obtained in one game) and the expected increase or decrease in medals per game (3 The ratio of the number of medals paid out to the number of medals inserted when a game is played in a bet. When the value is larger than 1, the expected value is positive and the medal is increased. It will be minus and the number of medals will decrease). The number of medals inserted per game (the number of inserted game media when playing one game) is 3, and when the average number of payouts per game is greater than 3, expected to increase or decrease medals per game The value is configured to be larger than 1. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the expected increase / decrease value per game is greater than 1 only in the case of “RT3”, and in an RT state other than “RT3” The expected medal increase / decrease value is smaller than 1. The numbers in the figure do not take into account the increase or decrease in medals due to bonuses. In other words, when a game progresses in a situation where push order navigation occurs (when operated in an optimal operation mode, also referred to as an advantageous operation mode), medals increase at “RT3”. In other RT states than “RT3”, medals will decrease. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the expected medal increase / decrease value may be larger than 1 in “RT2” and “RT4”. Note that when the combination of symbols to be replayed is stopped and displayed, the bet number (three) in the previous game is actually automatically bet. However, in calculating the expected increase or decrease in medals in this embodiment, The calculation is based on the assumption that three sheets are paid out.

  In addition, the calculation method of the average number of payouts per game and the expected medal increase / decrease value per game in each RT state is as follows. When the RT state is “RT0”, the average payout number per game is {regame Of the total number (replaying game appearance rate) (total number of setting numbers for condition device numbers 1 to 22 = 8951) × the number of payouts in the replaying game (3) + the number of bells (seven-card combination) ( Sum of small part appearance rate) (total number of placements for condition device numbers 23 to 41 = 16924) × the number of payouts (7 pieces) in the bell (7 pieces) + the number of places of 3 pieces (small portion appearance rate) Sum total (total number of set numbers for condition device numbers 42 to 49 = 11676) × total number of payouts (three pieces) in the three-piece role + 1 total number of set numbers (small appearance rate) (set for the condition device number 50) Total number of numbers = 30) x number of payouts per piece (1)} / all numbers Sum (65536) = 2.752365112 can be calculated as. Also, the expected medal increase / decrease value per game can be calculated as follows: average number of payouts per game / number of medals inserted per game (3) = 0.17474537.

  Next, when the RT state is “RT1”, the average number of payouts per game is {the sum of the number of re-game players (re-game player appearance rate) (the sum of the numbers for the condition device numbers 1 to 22) = 8989) × the sum of the number of payouts (3) + bell (seven-card combination) in the re-playing combination (small combination appearance rate) (total number of arrangements for condition device numbers 23 to 41 = 16924) × bell The number of payouts in (7-piece combination) (7) + the total number of 3-piece combination (small appearance rate) (total of the numbers for condition device numbers 42 to 49 = 1676) × the number of payouts in 3-piece combination ( 3) + total number of +1 number of combinations (small appearance rate) (total number of arrangements for condition device number 50 = 30) × the number of payouts in one combination (1)} / sum of all the numbers (65536) = 2.75414614. The expected medal increase / decrease value per game can be calculated as follows: average number of payouts per game / number of inserted medals per game (three) = 0.918034887.

  Next, when the RT state is “RT2”, the average number of payouts per game is: {total number of re-game characters (re-game character appearance rate) (total number of values for condition device numbers 1 to 22) = 8984) × the number of payouts in the re-playing game (3) + the sum of the numbers (small role appearance rate) of the bells (7 cards) (the sum of the numbers for the condition device numbers 23 to 41 = 16924) × the bell The number of payouts in (7-piece combination) (7) + the total number of 3-piece combination (small appearance rate) (total of the numbers for condition device numbers 42 to 49 = 1676) × the number of payouts in 3-piece combination ( 3) + total number of +1 number of combinations (small appearance rate) (total number of arrangements for condition device number 50 = 30) × the number of payouts in one combination (1)} / sum of all the numbers It can be calculated as (65536) = 2. The expected medal increase / decrease value per game can be calculated as follows: average number of payouts per game / number of medals inserted per game (3) = 0.917959.

  Next, when the RT state is “RT3”, the average number of payouts per game is {the sum of the number of re-game characters (re-game character appearance rate) (the sum of the numbers for the condition device numbers 1 to 22) = 36883) × the number of payouts in the re-playing game (3) + the total of the numbers (small role appearance rate) of the bell (seven roles) (the total of the numbers for the condition device numbers 23 to 41 = 16924) × the bell The number of payouts in (7-piece combination) (7) + the total number of 3-piece combination (small appearance rate) (total of the numbers for condition device numbers 42 to 49 = 1676) × the number of payouts in 3-piece combination ( 3) + total number of +1 number of combinations (small appearance rate) (total number of arrangements for condition device number 50 = 30) × the number of payouts in one combination (1)} / sum of all the numbers (65536) = 4.028885 can be calculated. The expected medal increase / decrease value per game can be calculated as follows: average number of payouts per game / number of medals inserted per game (3) = 1.342962.

  Next, when the RT state is “RT4”, the average number of payouts per game is {total number of re-game characters (re-game character appearance rate) (total number of values for condition device numbers 1 to 22) = 8951) × the total number of payouts (3) + bell (7-card combination) in the re-playing combination (the appearance ratio of the small combination) (the total of the numbers for the condition device numbers 23 to 41 = 16924) × the bell The number of payouts in (7-piece combination) (7) + the total number of 3-piece combination (small appearance rate) (total of the numbers for condition device numbers 42 to 49 = 1676) × the number of payouts in 3-piece combination ( 3) + total number of +1 number of combinations (small appearance rate) (total number of arrangements for condition device number 50 = 30) × the number of payouts in one combination (1)} / sum of all the numbers (65536) = 2.752365. The expected medal increase / decrease value per game can be calculated as follows: average number of payouts per game / number of inserted medals per game (3) = 0.917455.

  Next, referring to the block diagram of FIG. 22, an electrical schematic configuration of the rotating type gaming machine P according to the present embodiment will be described. First, the spinning-type gaming machine P according to the present embodiment has a sub-control board S, a door board D, a spinning board K, a power board E, and a relay board IN, centering on a main control board M that controls the progress of the game. The setting door switch M10, the setting key switch M20, the setting / reset button M30, and the like are connected to be able to exchange data. The solid line portion in the figure shows the movement related to the exchange of data, and the broken line portion in the figure shows the power supply route. The power supply route is not limited to this. For example, power may be supplied from the power supply board E to the relay board IN or the door board D without going through the main control board M.

  The main control board (may be referred to as main control means, main board, main control means, main board, and main game unit) M is a board that governs the progress of the entire game performed in the revolving game machine P. A main control chip C is mounted on the main control board M, and a CPU MC, a built-in ROMC 110, a built-in RAMC 120, and the like are mounted on the main control chip C so as to be able to exchange data with each other via a bus. The main control board M receives a signal indicating that the start lever D50 or the like has been operated from the door board D mounted on the front door DU, and receives the sub-control board S, the door board D, and the rotating board. The operation of these various boards is controlled by outputting a control command (or control signal) toward K etc. {For example, an instruction number (push order number, instruction information, operation information toward the sub-control board S) The sub-control board S can perform push-push navigation on the effect display device}.

  Also, the sub control chip SC is mounted on the sub control board (sometimes referred to as sub control means, sub board, sub control means, sub board, sub game unit) S, as with the above-described main control board M. The sub control chip SC is provided with a CPU SC, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and is connected to be exchanged with each other via a bus.

The spinning board K can stop the reel M50 at the determined stop position by driving the spinning motor K10 while detecting the rotational position of the reel M50 by the spinning sensor K20. Yes. Further, in the rotating type gaming machine P of the present embodiment, a so-called step motor (stepping motor) is used as the rotating motor K10. In the step motor, 504 steps are set as the number of steps for one rotation of the reel M50. Each reel (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53) has a predetermined number of symbols (for example, 20 symbols) having a substantially uniform size, and the number of steps corresponding to one symbol is set. 24 steps (= 20/480) are set. There is no problem even if the number of steps and the number of symbols per reel are changed.

  The medal payout device HP is connected to the main control board M via the relay board IN, and pays out a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game medals based on a control signal from the main control board M. Perform the action The medal payout device HP includes a first payout sensor H10s and a second payout sensor H20s for determining whether or not a medal has been paid out normally and measuring the number of game medals paid out, and a disk H50. A hopper motor H80 for rotation is connected.

  These various control boards and the power consumed by the boards are supplied from a power supply board E (a board for controlling the presence or absence of power supply by the power switch E10). In FIG. 21, a state in which power is supplied from the power supply board E is indicated by a dashed arrow. As shown in the figure, power is directly supplied from the power supply board E to the main control board M and the sub-control board S, and various boards (door board D, rotor board K, relay board IN) Electric power is supplied via the main control board M. A predetermined amount (for example, 100 V) of AC voltage is supplied to the power supply board E, and this electric power is converted into a DC voltage of a specified voltage and then supplied to each control board and board.

AT lottery means for executing AT transition lottery for shifting to AT, and AT extra lottery for increasing the number of remaining AT games (or the counter value of the AT counter M60), which is the number of games that can stay in the “AT state” And AT addition lottery means to be executed.

  Next, FIGS. 23 to 42 are flowcharts showing a flow of general processing performed by the main control board M in the present embodiment.

  The flowchart mainly includes processing steps (illustrated by rectangles), judgments (illustrated by diamonds), flow lines (arrows), terminals indicating start / end / return, etc. (illustrated by rounded rectangles). ing. Moreover, when the details are illustrated in another flowchart among the processing steps, those referring to the other flowchart are illustrated as a subroutine (illustrated by a rectangle in which the left and right lines are double lines). . Here, in the development stage of gaming machines, gaming machines with different specifications are also developed at the same time, but in this example, execution is performed with gaming machines with different specifications within the processing on the main control board M side. The subroutines to be executed (subroutines that are not normally used) are not left, and processing related to unused subroutines that are not normally executed due to noise or fraudulent actions is prevented.

  First, FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed for the first time by the CPUMC of the main control board M after turning on the power of the rotating game machine P (or at the time of system reset or user reset). . First, in step 4000, after turning on the spinning machine P, in step 4002, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a timer interrupt (in this case, the timer interrupt is not started but the timer interrupt is not started). Only the type of interrupt is set. In the subsequent processing, when a timer interrupt is started, a flowchart related to timer interrupt processing described later is periodically executed). Next, in step 4004, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes serial communication settings (speed, data length, data transmission method settings) and the like as function settings of the main control chip C. Next, in step 4006, the CPUMC of the main control board M calculates a checksum from the start address of the RAM area to the address immediately before the checksum area. Next, in step 4008, the CPUMC of the main control board M checks the RAM area (for example, based on the calculated checksum and the checksum data held in the checksum area, power-off / power-off recovery) To check whether the data stored in the built-in RAMC 120 is correctly held), and generates power-off recovery data. Next, in step 4010, the CPUMC of the main control board M confirms the switch state of the setting key switch M20. Next, in step 4014, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the setting key switch M20 is off.

  In the case of Yes in step 4014, in step 4016, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on / off the power-off processing flag in the RAM (turned on in step 4904) and the checksum state of all RAMs (in step 4006 Whether or not the power-off recovery data in the RAM is normal is determined. In the case of Yes in step 4016, in step 4018, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines and sets the RAM initialization range as an unused RAM range (for example, sets it in the register area). Next, in step 4020, the CPUMC of the main control board M performs initialization of the RAM area within the initialization range determined in step 4018. Next, in step 4022, the CPU MC of the main control board M restores the stack pointer based on the data related to the stack pointer stored in the process at power-off (step 4902). Next, in step 4036, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the inside of the RAM area, and determines whether or not the data related to the set value in the RAM area is within the normal range (1 to 6 in this example). judge. In the case of Yes in step 4036, in step 4038, the CPUMC of the main control board M reads the input port. Next, in step 4040, the CPUMC of the main control board M starts the timer interrupt set in step 4002. Next, in step 4042, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the power-off process completion flag and returns to the process at the time of power-off according to the returned stack pointer.

  If No in step 4016, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a backup error display (for example, sets an error number in the register area) in step 4024. Next, in step 4300, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a non-recoverable error process described later.

  If NO in step 4036, in step 4046, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a setting value error display (for example, displayed on the payout number display device D270) (for example, in the register area). To set). Next, in step 4300, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a non-recoverable error process described later.

  If NO in step 4014, in step 4028, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on / off the power-off processing completion flag in the RAM (turned on in step 4904) and the checksum state of all RAMs (step Referring to (check result in 4006), it is determined whether or not the power-off recovery data in the RAM is normal. In the case of Yes in step 4028, in step 4030, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines and sets the RAM initialization range to all ranges except the set value in the RAM (for example, sets in the register area). , Step 4034 is entered. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4028, in step 4032, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines and sets the initialization range of the RAM to all ranges in the RAM (for example, sets in the register area). 4034. Next, in step 4034, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes initialization of the RAM area within the initialization range determined in step 4030 or step 4032. Next, in step 4100, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a setting change device control process, which will be described later.

  Although not shown, it is preferable that the initial value (value at the start of processing) of the temporary storage area (RAM area or the like) mounted on the main control board M is not a value at which a special game is executed. (In order to prevent a special game from being erroneously executed when a process for determining whether or not to execute a special game is executed due to noise or fraud immediately after the program processing is started). Although not shown, when a random number such as a winning random number is stored in the RAM area of the main control board M, a dedicated storage area is secured, and the byte storing information related to the random number is stored in the byte. It is preferable to configure to store only the information related to the random number (not to store other information such as various timer values) (when operating other data stored in the same 1 byte, due to noise etc. (To prevent the information related to random numbers from being rewritten).

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of setting change device control processing according to the subroutine of step 4100 in FIG. First, in step 4102, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes initialization of the stack pointer (initialization with the start address of the process). Next, in step 4104, the CPUMC of the main control board M activates a timer interrupt. Next, in step 4106, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the set value in the RAM area is within the normal range (1 to 6 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 4106, in step 4108, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a predetermined value (for example, 1 = a value that is most unfavorable for the player) to the set value, and proceeds to step 4110. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 4106, the process proceeds to step 4110. Next, in step 4110, the CPUMC of the main control board M displays on the error display LED (not shown) that the setting changing device is operating, displays the set value on the setting display LED (not shown), and step 4112 is entered.

  Next, in step 4112, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the setting / reset button M30 has been switched from OFF to ON. In the case of Yes in step 4112, in step 4114, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds 1 to the current set value (if the added set value exceeds 6, the set value becomes 1). , The process proceeds to step 4116. In the case of No in step 4112, the process proceeds to step 4116. Next, in step 4116, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the start lever D50 has been switched from OFF to ON. In the case of No in step 4116, the process proceeds to step 4112, and the processing of step 4112 to step 4116 is looped. In the case of Yes in step 4116, in step 4118, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the setting key switch M20 has been switched from on to off. If No in step 4118, the process in step 4118 is looped. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 4118, in step 4120, the CPUMC of the main control board M displays on the error display LED (not shown) that the operation of the setting change device has ended, and the setting display LED (not shown) The display of the set value is erased, and the process proceeds to the game progress control process in step 4200.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of non-recoverable error processing relating to the subroutine of step 4300 in FIG. 23 (and called in other flowcharts). First, in step 4302, the CPUMC of the main control board M prohibits interruption (hereinafter, a flowchart relating to timer interruption processing described later is not executed). Next, in step 4304, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the output port address and the number of output ports. Next, in step 4306, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the output port (in this example, 0 to 6, display output to various LEDs and drive output to various motors). Next, in step 4308, the CPU MC of the main control board M sets the next port output address (by repeating this, display output to various LEDs and drive output to various motors are sequentially stopped). Next, in step 4310, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the output to each output port has been completed. In the case of Yes in step 4310, in step 4312, the CPUMC of the main control board M displays the set error display (some error has occurred when executing this process), and the process Is repeated, and the reset signal is input when the power supply voltage decreases, and the process ends. (That is, since an infinite loop is entered, any operation that prompts a return is not accepted). In the case of No in step 4310, the process proceeds to step 4306. The processing from step 4306 to step 4310 is processing for clearing the output to the LED / motor (however, since the external output signal is not cleared, the information about the error, the game progress status at the time of the error, etc. are displayed on the hall computer side. It is possible to output to

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (first sheet) according to the subroutine of step 4200 in FIG. First, in step 4202, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a stack pointer (initialized with the start address of the process). Next, in step 4204, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets data in the RAM area necessary for the game (for example, the upper limit of bets, the effective line for winning, etc.). Step 4204 is data for clearing data used in the previous game {eg, condition device number (winning number), production group number, instruction information} (“0” for clearing the RAM address). (Data) is also included in the RAM. In addition, you may make it comprise so that the number selected when the next game was performed may be overwritten, without clearing a condition apparatus number, production group number, instruction information, etc. Next, in step 4205, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the RT state (for example, “RT0”, etc.) in the game (sets the RT state determined in step 4704 in FIG. 37). Then, the set RT state is transmitted to the sub-control board S side. The process for setting the RT state may be executed in step 4704 in FIG. In step 4704, the RT state may be transmitted to the sub-control board S side. Next, in step 4206, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a state relating to AT in the game (for example, “AT state”) (sets a state related to AT determined in step 4756 of FIG. 39). . In step 4206, the state related to the set AT is also transmitted to the sub-control board S side. Further, the process for setting the state related to the AT may be executed in step 4756 of FIG. Next, in step 4207, the CPUMC of the main control board M is a command relating to the state relating to RT and the state relating to AT in the game (command to the sub-control board S side, and the effect relating to the game in step 7100). Set the command used to set the pattern. Next, in step 4208, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal payout device HP is not full of game medals. Specifically, a sub-tank (not shown) for storing medals overflowing from the medal payout device HP is provided, and a determination is made based on current conduction / non-conduction by a plurality of full detection sensors provided in the sub-tank (via medals). If the current is conducted, it is determined to be full). If Yes in step 4208, the process proceeds to step 4218.

  On the other hand, if No in step 4208, in step 4210, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the medal full error flag (for example, updates the medal full error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to on). ). Next, in step 4212, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an error number display corresponding to the medal full error with a 7-segment LED (for example, a storage display LED or an acquired number LED). Next, in step 4214, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal full error has been canceled (for example, whether or not the current from the sub tank is non-conductive and the set / reset button M30 has been pressed). To do. In the case of Yes in step 4214, in step 4216, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the medal full error flag (for example, updates the medal full error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to off). 4218. On the other hand, if No in step 4214, the process proceeds to step 4212. Next, in step 4218, the CPUMC of the main control board M permits medal insertion acceptance (the insertion operation is automatically executed in the next game of the re-gamer), and the next process (step 4220). The process proceeds to (1). Here, in Step 4218, the blocker D100 is turned on (process formed by the medal flow path). Specifically, when a re-game player is established in the previous game, the blocker D100 is turned on on the condition that the current storage number (credit) is less than a predetermined value (50 in this example). Run. In other words, when the current storage number (credit) is a predetermined value, the ON process of the blocker D100 is not executed. On the other hand, when the re-game combination is not established in the previous game, the blocker D100 is turned on uniformly. With this configuration, even when a re-game player is established, if the number of stored credits does not reach a predetermined value, a game medal can be inserted, such as “RT1”. When you are staying in an RT state (for example, “RT3”) that has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than in the RT state, or when you look at it, it is difficult to understand a re-gamer Even if the bell-bell-bell on the invalid line or the symbol combination in which the cherry is stopped on the left reel is stopped, the player can play the game with a good rhythm (without a sense of incongruity).

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (second sheet) according to the subroutine of step 4200 in FIG. First, in step 4220, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a game medal is bet or no credit exists. In the case of Yes in step 4220, in step 4221, the CPUMC of the main control board M satisfies the set value display conditions (for example, when the door switch D80, the setting door switch M10, and the setting key switch M20 are all turned on, Whether or not the condition is satisfied). In the case of Yes in step 4221, in step 4222, the CPUMC of the main control board M is set to a setting display LED (not shown, but may be a payout number display device D270, a credit number display device D200, or an insertion number display light D210). The value is displayed and the process proceeds to step 4221. In the case of No in step 4220 or step 4221, in step 4224, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes management related to the insertion and settlement of game medals. Next, in step 4225, the CPUMC of the main control board M confirms the number of game medals that can be accepted. Next, in step 4226, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the blocker D100 is on. In the case of Yes in step 4226, in step 4227, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first insertion sensor D20s or the second insertion sensor D30s is on (in this embodiment, insertion of medals is performed). There are two insertion sensors for detection, and when the first insertion sensor D20s or the second insertion sensor D30s is turned on, it is determined that one game medal has been received). In the case of Yes in step 4227, in step 4230, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s are off (the first input sensor D20s or the second input). When the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s are turned off after the sensor D30s is turned on, it is determined that one received game medal has passed the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s. ). In the case of Yes in step 4230, in step 4231, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the insertion of one normal game medal has been accepted. Although not shown, after step 4231, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the credit is the upper limit number (50 in this example) and the bet number is the maximum number (3 in this example). If the determination is Yes, the blocker D100 is controlled to be off (a state where no medal flow path is formed). If No in step 4230, the process of step 4230 is repeated. If No in step 4226 or step 4227, the process proceeds to step 4232.

  Next, in step 4232, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the settlement button D60 has been operated. In the case of Yes in step 4232, in step 4233, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not there are remaining credits or bet gaming medals. In the case of Yes in step 4233, in step 4234, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on a hopper driving flag (a flag in the RAM area, which is turned on when the hopper motor H80 is driven). The payout of one medal is executed. Next, in step 4236, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on (in the present embodiment, for detecting the payout of medals). It has two payout sensors, and when the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is turned on, it is determined that the payout operation of one game medal is being performed). If “Yes” in step 4236, the process proceeds to step 4247. Here, although not explicitly shown in the flowchart, only the remaining number of credits is to be settled when the previous game was a re-game player.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4236, in step 4241, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the hopper was driven (after the processing of step 4234). . Specifically, whether or not a situation in which it is determined that a medal has not been paid out has continued for a predetermined period of time despite transmission of a hopper drive signal to the hopper motor H80 (the hopper motor H80 is rotating). Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 4241, in step 4242, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the medal empty error flag area with a value corresponding to ON). Next, in step 4244, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a medal empty error display. Next, in step 4245, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal empty error has been canceled (for example, whether or not the setting / reset button M30 has been pressed). If YES in step 4245, in step 4246, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the medal empty error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to OFF). The process shifts to 4247. On the other hand, if No at step 4245, the routine proceeds to step 4244.

  Next, in step 4247, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are off (the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on). Then, when the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are turned off, it is determined that the payout operation of one game medal on which the payout operation has been performed is completed). In the case of Yes in step 4247, in step 4248, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the hopper drive flag, and proceeds to step 4233. If step 4241 or step 4247 is No, the process proceeds to step 4236.

  On the other hand, if NO in step 4232 or step 4233, the CPU MC of the main control board M has a valid start lever D50 in step 4251 (for example, a prescribed number of game medals for starting a game have been inserted, etc.) ) And whether or not the start lever D50 has been operated is determined. In the case of Yes in step 4251, in step 4253, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the set value in the RAM area is within the normal range (1 to 6 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 4253, in step 4254, the CPUMC of the main control board M moves to the next process (process of step 4257) after executing the process of acquiring random numbers and turning off the blocker D 100. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4253, in step 4256, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a setting value error display (for example, sets an error number in the register area). Next, in step 4300, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a non-recoverable error process. If step 4251 is No, the process proceeds to step 4220.

  Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (third sheet) according to the subroutine of step 4200 in FIG. First, in step 4257, the CPUMC of the main control board M starts an internal lottery (lottery for determining a winning combination that can be won in the game). Next, at step 4258, the CPUMC of the main control board M is in the AT lottery execution state (“AT in-state”). In this example, it is “normal game state”, “normal BB internal game”, and “normal BB state”). It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 4258, in step 4400, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a lever AT lottery execution control process described later, and proceeds to step 4450. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 4258, the process proceeds to step 4450. Next, in step 4450, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a conditional device number management process, which will be described later. Next, in step 4259, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the AT counter M60, and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than 0 (whether or not the lottery is executed by adding the number of AT games). judge. In step 4259, a lottery is executed by adding the number of AT games based on the state related to the AT ("AT in preparation", "in-AT BB internal game", "in-AT BB state", "AT precursor state) Or “in-AT state”) may be determined. In the case of Yes in step 4259, in step 4500, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a process for adding the number of games at lever, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 4550. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 4259, the process proceeds to step 4550. It is also possible to execute the lottery using the lottery table that differs depending on the state relating to the AT in the lever-time game number addition execution process.

  Here, the states that can be taken as states relating to the AT in this example are listed and described in detail. (1) The “normal game state” is a state in which an AT is not won (a right to shift to the “AT state” is not acquired) and a bonus combination is not won. (2) The “AT precursor state” is a state in which the AT is won (the right to shift to the “AT state” has been acquired), but AT (push order navigation) has not started ( AT is started when the number of AT precursor games becomes “0”). (3) “Preparing AT” means a state in which an AT is won (the right to transition to “AT state” has been acquired) and stays until the most advantageous RT state is transitioned. (Navigation) is performed, but the AT remaining game number (AT counter value) is not subtracted. (4) The “AT state” is a state in which AT (push order navigation) is performed and the number of AT remaining games (AT counter value) is subtracted. In the “AT special state” or the like, the AT remaining game number (AT counter value) may not be subtracted. (5) “AT return state” means that the winning probability of the re-gamer fluctuates based on the fact that a predetermined symbol combination (for example, a specific symbol) is stopped and displayed in the “AT state”. This is the state until transition to the “medium state”. (6) “Normal BB inside game” is a state in which the BB role is won in the “normal game state” and the BB role is not won. (7) “In-AT BB internal game” is a state in which the BB role is won in “AT precursor state”, “AT in preparation”, “AT return state”, or “AT state”. In addition, a state where the BB combination is won in the “AT precursor state” and the BB combination is not won may be set as “normal BB internal game”. (8) The “normal BB state” is a state that is executed when the symbol combination corresponding to the BB combination is stopped and displayed in the “normal BB inside game”. (9) The during-AT BB state is a state that is executed when the symbol combination corresponding to the BB combination is stopped and displayed in the “in-AT BB internal game”.

  Next, in step 4550, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a reel rotation start preparation process, which will be described later. Next, in step 4260, rotation of all reels is started. Next, in step 4261, the CPUMC of the main control board M is requested to create a pull-in point (required for determining the stop positions of the rotating left reel M51, middle reel M52, and right reel M53, and the stop order and others. It is determined whether or not there is an appropriate request according to the reel stop position. In the case of Yes in step 4261, in step 4262, the CPUMC of the main control board M creates a pull-in point, and proceeds to step 4263. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 4261, the process proceeds to step 4263. Next, in step 4263, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a reel stop acceptance check. Next, in step 4264, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether any stop button (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43) has been operated. In the case of Yes in step 4264, in step 4265, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the operated stop button (for example, the left reel M51 corresponds to the left stop button D41). Then, the process proceeds to step 4266. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 4264, the process proceeds to step 4266. Next, in step 4266, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an all reel stop check process.

  Next, in step 4270, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether all the reels (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53) have stopped. In the case of Yes in step 4270, in step 4271, the CPUMC of the main control board M compares the symbol stop position data in the RAM and the internal established combination stop position data. Next, in step 4271-2, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the displayed symbol combination is normal (must match the winning combination determined by the internal lottery). Is determined to be abnormal). If YES in step 4271-2, the process proceeds to step 4271-3. On the other hand, if No in step 4271-2, in step 4273, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a display determination error display (for example, sets it in the register area). Next, in step 4300, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a non-recoverable error process. On the other hand, if No at step 4270, the routine proceeds to step 4261.

  Next, in step 4274, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a game medal payout process by winning and shifts to the process of 4275. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 4271-3, the process proceeds to step 4275.

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (fourth sheet) according to the subroutine of step 4200 in FIG. First, in step 4275, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a prize for paying out game medals {the number of game medals earned by winning exceeds the maximum number of credits (50 in this example). If the game medal is paid out}. In the case of Yes in step 4275, in step 4276, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on a hopper drive flag (a flag in the first RAM area, which is turned on when the hopper motor H80 is driven). Pay out one game medal. Next, in step 4277, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on (the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on). Then, it is determined that one game medal is being paid out). If Yes in step 4277, the process proceeds to step 4286.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4277, in step 4279, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the hopper was driven (after the processing timing of step 4276). . In the case of Yes in step 4279, in step 4280, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the medal empty error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to ON). Next, in step 4281, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a medal empty error display with a 7-segment LED. Next, in step 4282, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal empty error has been canceled (for example, whether or not the setting / reset button M30 has been pressed). In the case of Yes in step 4282, in step 4283, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the medal empty error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to off), 4286. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4282, the process proceeds to step 4281.

  Next, in step 4286, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are off (the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on). Then, when the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are turned off, it is determined that the payout operation of one game medal on which the payout operation has been performed is completed). In the case of Yes in step 4286, in step 4288, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the hopper drive flag and proceeds to step 4290. If step 4279 or step 4286 is No, the process proceeds to step 4277. Next, in step 4290, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the payout corresponding to the winning (the winning that became Yes in step 4275) has been completed. If YES in step 4290, the flow advances to step 4291. In the case of No in step 4275, the process proceeds to step 4291. If No in step 4290, the process proceeds to step 4276.

  Next, in step 4291, the CPUMC of the main control board M is in a state related to AT that can execute a lottery to determine whether or not the state related to the AT wins the right to shift to the AT lottery execution state (the “AT state”). In this example, it is determined whether or not the “normal gaming state” or “normal BB state”). In the present embodiment, the gaming state is related to the condition device in the RT state, which is a gaming state in which the lottery probability of the re-gamer may be different, and in push order navigation (push order display device D270 and effect display device SG). There are two types of gaming states, namely a state relating to AT, which is a gaming state related to the presence / absence of the occurrence of a reel stop order that is most advantageous to the player. Note that a combination of the RT state and the state relating to the AT may be a state relating to the ART and may be one type of gaming state.

  In the case of Yes in step 4291, in step 4800, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a stop-time AT lottery execution control process described later, and proceeds to step 4700. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4291, in other words, the state related to AT is a state in which the number of AT games (sometimes referred to as the number of remaining AT games) can be added (AT counter value that is the number of games that can execute push-order navigation) Is greater than 0 and the AT counter value can be added), in step 6300, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a winning game number addition execution process, which will be described later. In step 4291, a state in which the number of AT games is added and the lottery is executed based on the state relating to AT (“AT in preparation”, “AT state in BB state”, “AT in-BB internal game”, or “ It may be determined whether or not it is “at AT state”. It is also possible to execute lottery using different lottery tables depending on the state related to AT. Next, in step 4292, the CPUMC of the main control board M subtracts 1 from the counter value of the AT counter M60. By this processing, the AT remaining game number is subtracted.

  Next, in step 4700, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes RT state transition control processing, which will be described later. Next, in step 4750, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an AT state transition control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 4293, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a game end process (for example, clearing the number of bets, game state transition process, etc.), and proceeds to the next process (process of step 4202).

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the lever AT lottery execution control process according to the subroutine of Step 4400 in the present embodiment. First, in step 4404, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to the AT is the normal BB state. In the case of Yes in step 4404, in other words, when the state related to the current AT is either “normal game state” or “normal BB internal game”, in step 4406, the CPUMC of the main control board M The condition device related to the game is a condition device number in which the acquisition lottery for acquiring the right to shift to the “AT state” at the time when it is established in the normal lever AT lottery role (non-BB) is executed. (Condition device number 49), weak watermelon (condition device number 48), strong chance (condition device number 50), weak cherry (condition device number 15), strong cherry (condition device number 16)). judge. In the case of Yes in step 4406, in step 4408, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the current lottery state is a “high probability state”. In the present embodiment, a plurality of lottery states are provided even in the state related to the same AT, and if the lottery states are different, the AT winning rate (winning rate of winning lottery for shifting to the AT state) is different. Will be. In the present embodiment, the lottery state is provided only in the “normal gaming state” (there is no problem even if a plurality of lottery states are provided in other AT-related states).

  In the case of Yes in step 4408, in step 4410, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the high probability AT lottery table (the probability of winning the AT lottery is higher than the low probability AT lottery table described later) The AT transition lottery is executed with the lottery probability based on the condition device number related to the game, and the process proceeds to step 4414. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4408, in other words, if the current lottery state is “low probability state”, in step 4412, the CPUMC of the main control board M performs a low probability AT lottery table (the above-described high probability AT lottery). The probability of winning the AT lottery is lower than that in the table), the AT transfer lottery is executed with the lottery probability based on the condition device number related to the game, and the process proceeds to step 4414. Next, in step 4414, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the executed AT lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 4414, in step 4418, the CPUMC of the main control board M is an AT winning flag (a flag that is turned on when winning the AT lottery. "Status" and "Transition to AT state") are turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 4450).

  If No in step 4404, in other words, if the current AT state is the “normal BB state”, in step 4416, the CPUMC of the main control board M indicates that the condition device number related to the game is the BB lever time. Is the AT lottery role (condition device number (not shown) corresponding to Seven in this example) in which the acquisition lottery for acquiring the right to shift to the AT state at the time of establishment in BB is executed? Determine whether or not. If YES in step 4416, the process proceeds to step 4418 to turn on the AT winning flag, and if NO, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 4450) (the AT winning flag is not turned on). Note that if the answer is No in step 4406 or step 4414, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 4450).

  Here, the lower part of the figure shows a high probability AT lottery table and a low probability AT lottery table. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the AT winning rate is different depending on the lottery state, and the “high probability state” is more relative to the AT transition lottery than the “low probability state”. It is easier to win. In addition, there is no problem even if the winning probability of the AT transfer lottery for each condition device number is changed. Further, in the present embodiment, the AT transition lottery winning probability is configured to be determined according to the type of the condition device number and the lottery state, but is not limited thereto, and may vary depending on, for example, a set value. For example, in the case where the setting value is configured in six stages of 1 to 6, setting 1 is the hardest to win the AT transition lottery and setting 6 is the easiest to win the AT transition lottery You may comprise. Similarly, in the lottery to add the number of AT games, which will be described later, setting 1 is the most difficult to win the lottery by adding the number of AT games (the expected value for adding the number of AT games is low), and setting 6 is the lottery to add the number of AT games. It is also possible to configure so that it is easy to win (the expected value for adding the number of AT games is high). In addition, as another example in which the winning ratio between the AT transition lottery and the AT game number addition lottery is different depending on the setting value, the odd setting values, Setting 1, Setting 3, and Setting 5, are relatively the number of AT games. It is easy to win the extra lottery (the expected value for adding the number of AT games is high), and is relatively difficult to win the AT transition lottery. The setting values 2, 4, and 6 are even setting values. It is relatively difficult to win a lottery by adding the number of AT games (the expected value for adding the number of AT games is low), and it may be relatively easy to win the AT transition lottery. Depending on whether the value is an odd number or an even number, it becomes a different game characteristic, and the interest is further enhanced.

  Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of conditional device number management processing according to the subroutine of step 4450 in FIG. 28 in the present embodiment. First, in step 4452, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the status related to AT in which the status related to AT is push order navigation (“AT in preparation”, “AT in progress”, “AT in BB internal game” and “ It is determined whether or not it is a state related to any AT in the “BB state during AT”. In this example, displaying the stop order of the reels that is most profitable to the player by the push order display device D270 and the effect display device SG is referred to as push order navigation. In the case of Yes in step 4452, in step 4454, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition device related to the game has a pushing order (a condition device having a different winning combination depending on the pushing order). To do. In the case of Yes in step 4454, in step 4456, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the condition device related to the game is an AT game by adding a winning combination {stopped symbol combination (or stop switch stop operation sequence). In this example, push order cherries ("replay-G1 (condition device number 17)", "replay-G2 (condition device number 18)", and "replay-G3") can be added. (Condition device number 19) "), or in the order of pushing order (" Re-game-H1 (condition device number 20) "," Re-game-H2 (condition device number 21) "and" Re-game-H3 (condition device) No. 22) ”)}. Here, in the present embodiment, when the number of AT games is related to an AT that can be added (increased), a condition device number including a push order cherry (for example, “re-game-G1 (condition device number 17)”. ”) Is not deterministic that the number of AT games will be added and the lottery will be executed, and the push order (reel stop order) will stop the push order cherries (the cherry pattern will be stopped on the left reel). ), The reel is stopped and the push order cherry is stopped and displayed (or it may be determined by the stop switch stop operation order), and it is determined that the lottery is executed by adding the number of AT games. The push order hitting game, which is an effect of encouraging whether or not the reels can be stopped in accordance with the push order in which the push order cherry is stopped and displayed, is executed. It is. Therefore, when the push order cherry is won, the push order that the push order cherry will stop display is not notified. For example, “= 0” is displayed on the push order display device D270, and the effect display device is based on the fact that the sub control board S receives a predetermined instruction number (for example, AX) transmitted from the main control board M. In SG, a display such as “????” is displayed so that the player can recognize that the game is a push-to-order game. Note that the number of AT games is the number of games (number of games that can be played in the AT state) that is guaranteed that push order navigation can occur (the profit given to the player by the push order (for example, In the case of a condition device number that does not differ (the number of payouts, the transition of the RT state, the winning probability of AT lottery), push order navigation may not occur)

  In the case of Yes in step 4456, in step 4458, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines an instruction number (also referred to as a pressing order number) in the game based on the condition device number of the game, and stores the instruction number. Is stored in a RAM address (an address different from the RAM address for displaying the push order navigation). The instruction number is information related to the order of pressing, and in this example, the main control board M is determined and transmitted to the sub control board S (details will be described later). Further, the sub control board S can display the push order navigation on the effect display device SG by receiving the instruction number. Even when the push order navigation is not executed, the instruction number is determined (the instruction number becomes an initial value based on clearing the instruction number in S1462) (for example, when the instruction number is “A0”). There is no push order navigation). When a push order hit game is executed, a predetermined instruction number (for example, AX) dedicated to the push order hit game is determined in S1462. Next, in step 4460, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the push order navigation display on the push order display device D270 based on the determined instruction number, and proceeds to step 4466. On the other hand, if No in Step 4442, Step 4454, or Step 4456, in Step 4462, the CPUMC of the main control board M presses the instruction number associated with the game and does not execute the sequential navigation (in this example, "A0") is determined (the instruction number becomes an initial value based on clearing the instruction number), and the process proceeds to step 4466.

  Next, in step 4466, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets (for example, sets in the register area) a command related to the instruction number determined in step 4458 or step 4462 (command to the sub control board S side). . Next, in step 4468, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a mask process on the condition device number of the game, and stores the masked information at a predetermined address in the RAM. Here, when the information related to the condition device number related to the game is transmitted to the sub-control board S side, if the information related to the condition device number is recognized by an illegal act, the high profit related to the game That is, the pushing order (reel stop order) will be recognized. Therefore, in this example, the sub-control board S is executed after executing the mask process {the process of concealing the information related to the condition device number (especially the information related to the pressing order)} to the information related to the condition device number related to the game. It is configured so that a highly profitable push order cannot be recognized. In this embodiment, as a mask processing method, a plurality of condition device numbers (condition device numbers having similar roles are preferable. A plurality of condition device numbers that can be set as one production group number (for example, the condition device numbers 2 to 6 are production group 2), and the production group number is transmitted to the sub-control board S side. . Note that the mask processing method is not limited to this. For example, a condition device number after mask processing is newly provided after the provided condition device number (1 to 51 in this example). May be. Also in such a case, it is desirable to provide a condition device number after masking processing using a plurality of condition device numbers as one condition device number among existing condition device numbers such as production group numbers ( For example, the condition device numbers 2 to 6 are set as the condition device number 54 that is the condition device number after the mask processing). If it is determined that the game is a game for notifying operation information (push order navigation) based on the state of the AT on the main control board M, the condition device number is transmitted to the sub-control board S side, and the operation information is displayed. In games that are not notified, the production group number may be transmitted to the sub-control board S side.

  Next, in step 4470, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub-control board S side) related to the effect group number after executing the mask processing (for example, set in the register area). To do. Next, in step 4472, the CPUMC of the main control board M receives a command related to the bonus condition device number (whether the bonus is won or not can be recognized on the side of the sub control board S) (to the side of the sub control board S). Command) is set (for example, set in the register area), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 4259). In this example, what is referred to only as the condition device number is the condition device number for the small combination / replay combination and is different from the bonus condition device number. In addition, as shown in the lower part of the figure, examples of the push order navigation display are as follows: (1) If a fall re-playing role is included → Push order that does not become a fall re-playing role Navi, (2) When a promoted regamer is included → Navigate the push order that the promoted regamer will be stopped, (3) When a push order cherry is included → Push the order that becomes the push order cherry Navigation, (4) In the case of the bell (three-piece combination, seven-piece combination) → The push order with the largest number of payouts is configured as navigation, etc. In the “AT state”, (1 ) If a fall replay player is included → Navigate the push order in which the fall replay role is not stopped, (2) If a promoted replay player is included → navigate the push order in which the promoted replay player is stopped , (3) When push order cherries are included → Navigate the push order of push order cherries, (4) Bell (3 sheets, 7 sheets In the case of (combination) → navigation, etc. are configured in order of pushing in which the number of payouts is the largest.

  Next, FIG. 32 shows an example of a production group number list of the spinning reel type gaming machine P according to the present embodiment. As described above, when transmitting information related to the condition device number determined by the main control board M to the sub control board S, the masking process is performed to determine the effect group number, and the effect group number is assigned to the sub control board. S is configured to be transmitted to S. The production group number is the condition device number and the winning combination that has the same role (for example, the replaying role including the promoted replaying role, the replaying role including the falling replaying role, the push order bell, etc.) Are grouped and assigned numbers. A mask process {processing for concealing information (specifically, information related to the pressing order) related to the condition device number} is performed on the information related to the condition device number related to the game, and then transmitted to the sub-control board S. Thus, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the information related to the conditional device number is recognized by an illegal act and the pushing order (reel stop order) which is a high profit related to the game is recognized. Hereinafter, the processing until the production group number is transmitted to the sub-control board S side will be described in detail.

  As processing on the main control board M side related to the effect group number, (1) a winning / replay winning number stored in the RAM related to the game is stored in a first register (for example, A register). The winning / replay winning number corresponds to the condition device number shown in FIG. 20 in the present embodiment. Further, the winning number of the bonus combination when the bonus combination is won is stored in another storage area of the RAM. (2) The start address of the “production group number designation table” in which the production group numbers stored in the ROM are stored in the second register (for example, the HL register). This table defines which effect group number is designated in correspondence with the replay winning number. When the head address is the X address, the X group has an effect group number “0” corresponding to the winning / replay winning number 0. The (X + 1) address is set to the effect group number “1” corresponding to the winning / replay winning number 1 and the (X + 2) address is the effect group number corresponding to the winning / replay winning number 2. “2” is defined, and the (X + 3) address is defined with the production group number “2” corresponding to the winning / replay winning number 3 and the (X + n) address. It is defined is "Y" director group number corresponding to the winning and re-game winning numbers n is in}. (3) An effect group number is acquired from the effect group number designation table by an arithmetic process using the first register and the second register (specifically, an addition process of the first register and the second register). In other words, the winning / replay winning number is used as an offset value, and the effect group number is obtained from the effect group number designation table in the register. (The obtained effect group number may be stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM.) (4) The effect group number is stored (stored) in a buffer (RAM) for transmitting to the sub-control board S.

  When such processing is performed uniformly, the mask processing is performed regardless of the gaming state (specifically, “AT state”, “normal gaming state”, etc.) on the main control board M side, and the pressing order number. Therefore, the number of judgment limbs is reduced, and the program of the main control board M can be simplified.

  As a specific example of the correspondence between the production group number and the condition device number, for example, when the condition device number is 0 (losing), the production group number is 0, and the condition device number is 1 (replay-A) ( If the replay is normal), the production group number is 1, and the condition device number is 2 to 6 (replay-B1 to replay-B5) (RT transition replay is win), the production group number is 2, and the condition device In the case of numbers 7 to 11 (replay-C1 to replay-C5) (RT transfer replay is won), the production group number is 3 and the condition device numbers 12 to 14 (replay-D1 to replay-D3) In the case (RT transfer replay is won), the production group number is 4 and the condition device number 15 (replay-E) (the weak cherry is won), the production group number is 5 and the condition device number 16 (replay- F) (strong cherry is this ), When the production group number is 6 and the condition device number 17 (replay-G1) (push order cherry wins), when the production group number is 7 and the condition device number 18 (replay -G2) (push If the order cherry is elected), the production group number is 8, and the condition device number 19 (re-game-G3) (push order cherry is elected), the production group number is 9, the condition device number 20 (re-game-H1) In the case of (the push order chance wins), the production group number is 10, and in the case of the condition device number 21 (replay-H2) (the push order chance wins), the production group number is 11, the condition device number 22 In the case of (replay-H3) (pushing order chance wins), the production group number is 12, and the condition device numbers 23 to 28 (winning-A1-winning-A6) (pushing order bell wins) Production group number 3. In the case of condition device numbers 29 to 34 (winning-B1 to winning-B6) (push order bell wins), the production group number is 14 and the condition device numbers 35 to 40 (winning-C1 to winning-C6) In the case (pushing order bell is won), the production group number is 15, and the condition device number 41 (winning-D) (the common bell is winning), the production group number is 16, and the condition device numbers 42 to 47 (winning- In the case of E1-Winning-E6) (Three winning combinations that can stop specific symbols are elected), in the case of production group number 17 and conditional device number 48 (Winning-F) (weak watermelon wins), production group When the number is 18 and the conditional device number is 49 (winning-G) (strong watermelon is won), the production group number is 19 and the conditional device number is 50 (winning-H) (strong chance is winning) Group number 20 and conditional device number 51 In the case of (winning-I) (special role in RB is elected), the production group number is 21. It should be noted that, in the specification for executing the above-described pushing order hitting game (game executed when any of the condition device numbers 17 to 22 is won), at least one of the condition device numbers 17 to 22 is won. In order to keep it confidential, for example, it is desirable to set the condition device numbers 17 to 19 to the same effect group number and set the condition device numbers 20 to 22 to the same effect group number.

  Next, FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the process for adding the number of games at lever, according to the subroutine of step 4500 of FIG. 28 in the present embodiment. First, in step 4502, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the condition device number relating to the game is an extra player at the time of winning (regardless of whether or not a prize is won, a conditional device that can add the number of remaining AT games by winning. In this example, weak watermelon (condition device number 48), strong watermelon (condition device number 49), weak cherry (condition device number 15), strong cherry (condition device number 16), strong chance (condition device) Number 50) and bell (condition device numbers 23 to 28)). In the case of Yes in step 4502, in step 4508, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the extra game number lottery table (for example, a lottery table provided in the ROM area) at the time of winning, and determines the AT extra game number. Determine (for example, determine in which range the latched random number value falls within the lottery table shown outside the column). Note that determining the number of AT extra games is also referred to as performing AT extra lottery. Next, in step 4510, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds the determined AT added game number to the counter value of the AT counter M60, sets the AT counter value after the addition to the AT counter M60, The process proceeds to the process (the process of Step 4550). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 4550) also in the case of No in step 4502.

  Here, the lottery table shown outside the figure is an example of the extra game number lottery table at the time of winning, and in this embodiment, states related to AT (“AT in preparation”, “AT in preparation”, When the winning combination is won in the “medium state”, “in-AT BB internal state”, “in-AT BB state”), the number of AT additional games is determined by lottery from “0” to “300”. The determined value is added to the counter value of the AT counter M60. When “0” is determined, the AT remaining game number does not increase.

  In addition, the average value (expected value) of the number of AT added games when winning the winning combination at the time of winning is a value as shown in the figure, and the winning combination is a weak watermelon as a specific calculation method. In this case, {number (900) × AT additional number of games (0) + number (50) × AT additional number of games (10) + number (50) × AT additional number of games (30) + number ( 24) × AT addition number of games (100)} / total number of entries (1024) = 4.3 (game).

  Next, when the winning combination is a strong watermelon, {number (500) × AT added game number (0) + place number (200) × AT added game number (50) + place number (300) × AT The number of added games (100) + number (24) × AT number of added games (300)} / total number of numbers (1024) = 46.1 (game).

  Next, when the winning combination is a weak cherry, {number (800) × AT added game number (0) + number (100) × AT added game number (10) + number (100) × AT The number of added games (30) + number (24) × AT number of added games (100)} / total number of numbers (1024) = 6.3 (game).

  Next, when the winning combination is a strong cherry, {number (300) × AT additional game number (0) + number (300) × AT additional game number (30) + number (400) × AT The number of additional games (50) + the number of places (24) × the number of AT additional games (300)} / the total number of places (1024) = 35.4 (games).

  Next, when the winning combination is a strong chance, {number (300) × AT added game number (30) + place number (500) × AT added game number (50) + number (224) × It can be calculated as follows: AT addition game number (200)} / total number of numbers (1024) = 77.0 (game).

  Next, when the winning combination is a bell (seven-card combination), {place number (1023) × AT extra game number (0) + place number (1) × AT extra game number (200)} / place number Total number (1024) = 0.2 (game).

  Next, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of reel rotation start preparation processing according to the subroutine of step 4550 of FIG. 28 in the present embodiment. First, in step 4552, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the timer value of the game interval minimum time timer M70 (subtraction timer) is zero. Here, the game interval minimum time timer M70 is a time (4.1 seconds in this example) that should be secured from a certain game start timing (reel rotation start timing) to the next game start timing (reel rotation start timing). It is a timer that measures. In the case of Yes in step 4552, in step 4554, the CPUMC of the main control board M starts by setting a new minimum time (4.1 seconds in this example) to the timer value of the game interval minimum time timer M70. Next, in step 4556, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the information related to the reel stop order related to the finished game and the information related to the push order. Next, in step 4558, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the information relating to the reel stop related to the finished game and the drawing point creation request. Next, in step 4560, the CPUMC of the main control board M initializes symbol stop position data relating to the finished game. Next, in step 4562, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an output request at the start of reel rotation related to the game. Next, in step 4564, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a reel control command related to the game. In other words, a command for indicating that the reel starts to rotate can be transmitted to the sub-control board S by the processing of step 4562 and step 4564. Next, in step 4566, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the reel drive state stored in the RAM area from the reel stop state to the reel rotation start standby state, and proceeds to the next processing (step 4260 processing). Transition.

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the stop-time AT lottery execution control process according to the subroutine of Step 4800 of FIG. 29 in the present embodiment. First, in step 4802, the CPUMC of the main control board M is a condition device in which the condition device related to the game is an AT lottery at the time of stop (a winning lottery for shifting to the “AT state” by winning) is executed. Yes, in this example, it is determined whether or not it is a pressing order cherry). In the case of Yes in step 4802, in step 4803, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the AT lottery at the time of stoppage has won as a winning combination related to the game (for example, the push order cherry is displayed in a stopped manner). Depending on the order of pressing, the pressing order cherry may or may not be displayed even if the condition device is obtained. In the case of Yes in step 4803, in step 4812, the CPUMC of the main control board M is an AT winning flag (a flag that is turned on when winning the AT lottery. ”And“ Transition to AT state ”) is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 4700). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of Step 4700) also in the case of No in Step 4802 or Step 4803.

  Next, FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the winning game number addition execution process according to the subroutine of Step 6300 of FIG. 29 in the present embodiment. First, in step 6302, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the condition device related to the game is an additional player at the time of winning a prize (a condition device that can add the number of remaining AT games by winning a prize. = Condition device number 17 to 19 and pushing order chance = Condition device number 20 to 22). In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6306, the CPUMC of the main control board M won the winning combination when winning a prize (corrected in the pushing order of the pushing order cherry (one of the replays 07 was stopped) or pushed in order. It is determined whether or not the correct answer has been given in the order of pressing the chances (one of the replays 09 has been stopped). As a determination method, a pressing order number for determination is separately determined, the determined pressing order number is stored in the RAM, and the pressing order in which the stop switch is actually operated is compared with the determined pressing order number. It is also possible to adopt a method for determining the pressing order and a method for determining the pressing order by specifying the pressing order from the condition device number. In the case of Yes in step 6306, in step 6309, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the winning game number lottery table and determines the AT additional game number (for example, latched in the lottery table shown outside the margin). Determine which range the random number value falls within.) Next, in step 6310, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds the determined AT additional game number to the counter value of the AT counter M60, sets the AT counter value after the addition to the AT counter M60, Processing (proceeds to step 4292). Even in the case of No in step 6302 or step 6306, the next process (proceeds to step 4292).

  Here, the lottery table shown outside the figure is an example of an extra game number lottery table at the time of winning a prize, and as shown in the figure, a state related to AT in which push order navigation is executed (“AT in preparation”, In the case of “AT state”, “AT state during BB internal state” and “BB state during AT”), when the AT extra lottery is won, the number of AT extra games is determined by lottery from “5” to “300” Then, the determined value is added to the counter value of the AT counter M60.

  In addition, the average value (expected value) of the number of AT extra games when winning the extra combination at the time of winning is a value as shown in the figure. As a specific calculation method, the winning combination is a push order cherry. If there is, {number (900) × AT additional game number (50) + number (100) × AT additional game number (100) + number (24) × AT additional game number (300)} / position The total number can be calculated as follows (1024) = 60.7 (game).

  In addition, when the winning combination is the chance of pushing, {place number (1020) × AT extra game number (0) + placement number (4) × AT extra game number (100) / total number of places (1024 ) = 5.4 (game).

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 33 and 36, the AT addition lottery in this embodiment is configured to be determined based on the selected condition device number, and if the RT state is different, the lottery of the condition device is selected. The probabilities are different, and as a result, the average value of the number of AT additional games per game is different. For example, when the RT state is “RT3”, the probability of winning the push order chance item (condition device numbers 20 to 22) is 6600/65536, and the average number of AT-added games when the push order chance item is won is Since the value is 5.4 games, the average value of the number of AT-added games per game according to the pushing order chance is 6600/65536 × 5.4 games = 0.54 games. On the other hand, when the RT state is “RT1”, the probability of winning the push order chance (condition device numbers 20 to 22) is 0/65536, and the average number of AT-added games when the push order chance is won is Since the value is 5.4 games, the average value of the AT added games per game according to the push order chance is 0/65536 × 5.4 games = 0 games. As such, when the RT state is different, the average value of the number of AT additional games per game is different. In addition, the average value of the AT additional game number per game for other condition devices that can execute the lottery with the AT game number additional calculation is calculated in the same manner, and the total value is calculated by adding up the average value of the AT additional game number per game. Can be calculated. As described above, in this embodiment, regardless of the RT state, the AT addition lottery table is referred with reference to the same AT addition game number lottery table (the AT addition game number lottery table at the time of winning, the AT extra game number lottery table at the time of winning). However, the average value of the number of AT-added games per game differs depending on the winning rate of the condition device depending on the RT state. In this way, in a gaming machine in which the AT addition lottery is more advantageous in “RT3” than in “RT1”, it is possible to stay in “RT3” if the game progresses according to the push navigation in the “AT state”. When the player deliberately stops the reels in the push order different from the push order navigation and shifts to “RT1”, the AT is added and the lottery is treated coldly. Similarly, for the small role that does not change depending on the RT state, similarly, by using the same AT additional game number lottery table, the AT addition that can obtain the average value (expected value) of the same AT additional game number regardless of the RT state. A lottery can be executed. For example, the probability of winning a strong watermelon (condition device number 48) when the RT state in the “AT state”, “AT in preparation”, or “AT return state” is “RT3” is 160/65536 Yes, when the strong watermelon is won, the average value of the AT additional game number is 46.1 games. Therefore, the average value of the AT additional game number per game by the strong watermelon is 160/65536 × 46.1 games = 0.11 games. On the other hand, the probability of winning the strong watermelon (condition device number 48) when the RT state is “RT1” is 160/65536, and the average value of the AT additional games when the strong watermelon is won is 46.1 games. Therefore, the average value of the number of AT additional games per game by strong watermelon is 160/65536 × 46.1 games = 0.11 games. As such, for the small role that does not change depending on the RT state, by using the same AT additional game number lottery table, the AT addition that can obtain the average value (expected value) of the same AT additional game number regardless of the RT state. A lottery can be executed.

  In the AT transition lottery, as in the AT addition lottery, the same AT lottery table is referred to regardless of the RT state based on the condition device number, and the appearance rate of the condition device is changed depending on the RT state. You may comprise so that the winning rate of transfer lottery may differ (for example, AT transfer lottery with reference to the same AT lottery table by the condition apparatus with different winning probabilities depending on the RT state such as condition apparatus numbers 15 to 22) Run).

  Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the RT state transition control process according to the subroutine of Step 4700 of FIG. 29 in the present embodiment. First, in step 4702, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the RT state transition enabling condition is satisfied in the game. Here, in this embodiment, the RT state transition enabling condition is configured to be satisfied by stopping a specific symbol, stopping a predetermined symbol based on a stop display of a specific re-gamer, and winning / starting / ending BB. ing. In the case of Yes in step 4702, in step 4704, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not to transition to the RT state and the RT state after the next game based on the satisfied RT state transition enabling condition, and performs the next process (step 4750). Shift to processing). Note that if the result is No in step 4702, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 4750). In this embodiment, the RT state transition control process is executed after all reels are stopped. However, when transitioning to “RT4”, the transition timing may be shifted when the lever is turned on. The timing for transitioning to the RT state (stores the RT number in the RAM) can be determined as appropriate.

  Next, FIG. 38 is an RT state transition diagram 1 in this embodiment. In the present embodiment, there are six RT states “RT0” to “RT5”, and the RT state shifts when the condition indicated by the arrow in the figure is satisfied. As a specific example of the transition of the RT state, when the RT state is “RT0”, the condition device of “winning-E3 (3 sheets)” is won and the stop button D40 is “left → middle → right”. When stopping in the order of (second and third stops are optional), a specific symbol {probing order (maximum payout number (expected value) at the time of winning the three-piece combination) with a probability of 3/4 (first stop of the middle reel) If it is stopped in the pressing order other than that), it can win a prize} stops, and the process shifts to “RT1”. On the other hand, when “Bell / Blank / B / Replay A” stops on the active line with a probability of 1/4, and the winning combination (for example, “medium” becomes the maximum payout number (expected value) when three winning combinations are won. If the stop button D40 is operated in “→ left → right”), the RT state maintains “RT0”. When the RT state is “RT1” and the “replay-B3” condition device is won, the stop button D40 is operated and the reels are stopped in the order of “middle → left → right” (for example, the reel M50 is When “sheep / replay A / watermelon A” is stopped on the active line), the symbol combination “replay 05” is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to “RT2”. Next, when the RT state is “RT2”, the “re-game-C5” condition device is won, and the player sets the stop button D40 to “right → left → middle” (second and third stops are optional). When stopped in order (for example, reel M50 is on the active line, “Sheep / Replay A / Replay B” is stopped), the symbol combination “Replay 06” is stopped and the RT state shifts to “RT3” To do. On the other hand, when the RT state is “RT3” or “RT2”, for example, the condition device of “re-game C-3” is won and the player operates the stop button D40 “right → left → middle” in this order ( For example, in the reel M50, “Bell / Replay A / Bell” is stopped on the active line), and the symbol combination “Replay 03” is stopped and displayed, and the RT state shifts to “RT1”. Similarly, when the RT state is “RT3” or “RT2”, the condition device of “winning-E3” which is a three-piece combination is won, and the stop button D40 is set to “left → middle → right” (second, third When stopping in the order of (optionally stopped), presses other than the pressing order (the middle reel is set as the first stop) with a specific symbol {maximum payout number (expected value) at the time of winning the three-piece combination with a probability of 3/4 If it stops in order, it can win a prize} stops, so that it shifts to “RT1”. On the other hand, when “Bell / Blank / B / Replay A” stops on the active line with a probability of 1/4, and the winning combination (for example, “medium” becomes the maximum payout number (expected value) when three winning combinations are won. When the stop button D40 is operated in “→ Left → Right”), the RT state maintains “RT2” or “RT3”. Here, the RT device is “RT0”, “RT1”, “RT2” and “RT3”, and the “winning-G (strong watermelon)” condition device in which “type 1 BB01” (BB) is selected in duplicate BB won in the BB formation game (if the “Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line) is not won (if the strong watermelon is won, for example, the active line) When “watermelon B / replay A / replay A” is stopped), the RT state shifts to “RT4”. In addition, you may make it transfer to "RT4" based on BB having been established by the lottery means. If it is “RT4” and BB is won by operating the stop button D40 (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the process proceeds to “RT5”. On the other hand, if BB is won in the BB formation game (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the RT state shifts to “RT4” in one game, and from “RT4” to “RT5” Will be transferred to. In the case where BB is won in the BB formation game (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the process may be shifted directly to “RT5” without going through “RT4”. Next, after the end of the BB, the RT state shifts from “RT5” to “RT0”. Although not shown, after the RAM clear execution associated with the setting change process when the power supply is turned off and the power supply is normal, the RT number is restored to the RT number before the RAM is cleared (the address for storing the RT number is set when the RAM is cleared). (Not included in the address range to be cleared) or “RT0”. It should be noted that the power is turned off under the condition of a specific RT state (for example, “RT5”), and after executing the RAM clearing accompanying the setting change process when the power is turned off and the power is restored normally, it is set to “RT0”. Also good. Note that “RT3” is in the RT state with the highest probability of winning the re-game player. Note that re-game 03 and re-game 04 are re-players who can fall the RT state (transition to RT state disadvantageous to the player), and re-game 05 and re-game 06 are promoted to the RT state (advantageous to the player). Re-games that can be transferred to a different RT state), and re-game 01 and re-game 02 are re-games that do not trigger the transition of the RT state. Further, when the reels are stopped in the push order different from the push order navigation when the push order navigation occurs, the RT state falls if the symbol combination that becomes the replay 03 or the replay 04 is stopped and displayed (for example, , “RT3” is shifted to “RT1”), but when the symbol combination that becomes the replay 01 or the replay 02 is stopped and displayed, the RT state does not fall (for example, “RT3” is maintained) ) In the present embodiment, in the game in which any of the condition device numbers 42 to 47 is determined, the game is operated in a predetermined operation sequence (see FIG. 19) set in advance and operated at a specific operation timing. However, in the game in which any one of the condition device numbers 42 to 47 is determined, a predetermined predetermined number is set regardless of the stop button operation timing. It may be configured such that a specific symbol combination can be stopped and displayed when operated in the operation order (see FIG. 20). Further, in a game in which any of the condition device numbers 23 to 40 is determined, one winning combination is awarded in an operation order other than the operating order in which a winning 7 winning combination is won. A symbol combination corresponding to (for example, a bell spilling role) may be defined as a specific symbol combination (which becomes an RT transition condition). Further, in a game in which any of the condition device numbers 23 to 40 is determined, it may be configured such that a prize may not be won (lost) depending on the stop button operation timing, and in such a case, the player Even if the reels are stopped in the pressing order different from the most profitable pressing order, if the small part to be paid out does not win (missed), the RT state is shifted ( For example, it may be configured to shift from “RT0” to “RT1”.

  Next, FIG. 39 is a flowchart of the AT state transition control process according to the subroutine of step 4750 of FIG. 29 in the present embodiment. First, in step 4752, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the AT state transition enabling condition is satisfied in the game. It should be noted that both the “high probability state” and the “low probability state” in the lottery state are the “normal game state”. In the case of Yes in step 4752, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the AT winning flag in step 4754 (for example, when shifting from the “AT precursor state” to the “AT state”), the “normal game state” The AT winning flag is turned off in the case of shifting from the “normal BB state” to the “AT ready state” or the like. Next, in step 4756, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not to shift to the AT state and the state related to the AT after the next game based on the satisfied AT state shiftable condition and the state related to the current AT. Next, in step 4758, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the “AT state” is newly determined as a state related to the AT. In the present embodiment, the state related to the AT shifts, such as “AT precursor state → AT preparation state → AT state”, so-called YES at step 4758 only at the first AT hit, and “AT state” If the BB is won at BB, and then the state is shifted to “AT in progress” via “AT ready”, it is configured to be No in step 4758 (in such a case as “AT” It may be configured that the initial game number is set in the AT counter each time the “middle state” is entered). In the case of Yes in step 4758, in step 4760, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the AT initial game number (in this example, 50) in the AT counter M60 when triggered by the new transition to the AT state. , Step 4762 is entered. Note that if the result is No in step 4752 or step 4758, the process proceeds to step 4762.

  Next, in step 4762, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the current lottery state is a “low probability state”. In the case of Yes in step 4762, in step 4764, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the condition device related to the game is a state promotion role (by winning, a small state that can shift from the “low probability state” to the “high probability state”). In this example, it is determined whether or not a weak watermelon, a strong watermelon, or a strong chance eye). In the case of Yes in step 4774, in step 4766, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the high probability state transition lottery table and executes a high probability state transition lottery to win based on the condition device number related to the game. Here, the upper right part of the figure is a high-probability state transition lottery table. In this embodiment, the lottery state transitions from a “low probability state” to a “high probability state” in terms of weak watermelon, strong watermelon or strong chance. The winning rate for weak watermelons is 1/10, the winning rate for strong watermelons is 1/2, and the winning rate for strong chances is 1/1, which is high depending on the condition equipment. The winning ratio of the probability state transition lottery is different. Next, in step 4768, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the high-probability transition lottery is won (for example, determines whether or not the latched random number value is within the winning range). . In the case of Yes in step 4768, in step 4770, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the lottery state after the next game is “high probability state”, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 4293).

  If No in step 4762, in step 4772, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the current lottery state is a “high probability state”. In the case of Yes in step 4772, in step 4774, the CPUMC of the main control board M indicates that the condition device related to the game is a state falling combination (a combination that can shift from a high probability state to a low probability state by displaying winning or stopping ). In the case of Yes in step 4774, in step 4776, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a low-probability state transition lottery to win with a predetermined probability (1/7 in this example). Next, in step 4778, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the low-probability transition lottery is won (for example, whether or not the latched random number value is within the winning range). . In the case of Yes in step 4778, in step 4780, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the lottery state after the next game is “low probability state”, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 4293). In the present embodiment, the condition for shifting from the “low probability state” to the “high probability state” is not limited to this, and when other winning combination (for example, the condition device numbers 35 to 40) is won or A lottery for shifting from the “high probability state” to the “low probability state” may be executed with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/20) in each game. In addition, when configured in such a manner, the low probability state transition lottery is not executed for 10 games after the transition to the “high probability state” (stay in the “high probability state” is guaranteed), You may comprise so that the lottery which shifts from a "high probability state" to a "low probability state" with a predetermined | prescribed probability (for example, 1/20) by every game after the said 10 game progress may be performed. Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 4292) also in the case of No in step 4774, step 4768, step 4772, step 4774 or step 4778. In the present embodiment, the lottery states of the “low probability state” and the “high probability state” are provided only in the “normal game state” (one of the states related to the AT), and other than the “normal game state”. If the state is related to the AT, the answer is No in Step 4762 and Step 4772, and the next processing (processing in Step 4292) is performed.

  Next, FIG. 40 is an AT state transition diagram 1 in this embodiment. In this embodiment, “normal game state”, “AT precursor state”, “AT in preparation”, “AT in progress”, “normal BB internal game”, “normal BB state”, “AT in BB internal” There are eight AT-related states of “game” and “AT state during BB”, and the state related to AT shifts by satisfying the conditions indicated by the arrows in the figure. For example, it is configured to shift to the “AT precursor state” by winning the AT in the “normal game state” (the AT winning flag is turned on).

  In addition, as a specific example of the state transition related to the AT, a “winning-G (strong watermelon)” condition device in which “1 type BB01” (BB) is selected in the “normal gaming state” is won. , If the BB is not won in the BB formation game (winning when “sheep / sheep / sheep” is stopped on the active line) {if strong watermelon is won (for example, “watermelon B on the active line”) When “Replay A / Replay A” is stopped), the state relating to AT shifts to “Normal BB inside game”. Next, when the BB is won by operating the stop button D40 (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the state shifts to the “Normal BB state”. On the other hand, when BB is won in the BB formation game (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the state related to AT changes from “Normal Game State” to “Normal BB Inside Game” in one game. ”And“ normal BB inside game ”is changed to“ normal BB state ”. In addition, when BB is won in the BB formation game, the state related to AT is changed from “normal game state” to “normal BB state” without going through “normal BB internal game”. Also good. In addition, in this “normal BB state”, when “seven” (replay 13), which will be won at 1/100, is won, after the end of the BB, it shifts to “AT ready” and “normal BB state” If the winning combination (including the re-game 13 (condition device number not shown)) is not won, the process shifts to the “normal gaming state” after the end of the BB. In this “normal game state”, the lottery state of the AT lottery is configured in two stages, a low probability state and a high probability state, and in the low probability state, the state promotion role (for example, condition device numbers 48 to 50) Is won, the high probability state transition lottery table is referred to and the high probability state transition lottery is executed based on the condition device number. If this high-probability transfer lottery is won, the lottery state will shift to a high-probability state. On the other hand, when the lottery state of the AT lottery is in the high probability state, when the state falling combination (for example, the condition device number 1) is won, the low probability state transition lottery in which 1/7 is won is executed. When this low probability transfer lottery is won, the lottery state shifts to a low probability state. Next, when the state related to the AT is “normal gaming state” and the lottery state is a high probability state and a strong watermelon is won (regardless of whether or not a prize is won), the high probability AT lottery table A is used. When the AT transition lottery to win in 2/3 is performed and the AT lottery is won, the state shifts to the “AT precursor state”. Next, the state related to the AT is “AT precursor state”, and when the predetermined number of games is consumed, the state shifts to “AT ready”. The method for determining the predetermined number of games that triggers the transition from “AT precursor state” to “AT ready” is a lottery (for example, a lottery from 0 to 32 games) at the time of the AT transition lottery by the strong watermelon. (If the number of fixed games is fixed, the focus is only on whether to shift to “AT ready” when the fixed number of games has elapsed. By providing a plurality of patterns for the number of games in the “AT precursor state”, the player can continue to be interested in whether or not the AT transfer lottery has been won). In this “AT preparation state”, the RT state stays at “RT3” (provided that the state shifts to “RT3”, the player accidentally switches to “RT3” without pushing navigation). In the situation where you stayed, if you shift to “AT ready”, you will not be able to shift to “AT state”) or you have ignored the push order navigation (for example, “Winning-B3 ”Is selected, and the player presses the stop button D40 in the order of“ right → middle → left ”even though the push order navigation notifies“ middle → left → right ”), the RT state is Although not “RT3”, the state shifts to “AT state”. The “AT state” shifts to the “normal gaming state” when the AT counter value becomes 0 (the remaining AT game number becomes 0). In addition, in the condition device of “winning-G (strong watermelon)” in which “1 type BB01” (BB) is selected in the “AT precursory state”, “AT in preparation”, or “AT state” In the case where the BB is won in the BB formation game and won (when the “sheep / sheep / sheep” is stopped on the active line) is not won (when the strong watermelon is won, for example, When “watermelon B / replay A / replay A” is stopped), the state related to AT shifts to “in-AT BB internal game”. Next, when the BB is won by operating the stop button D40 (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the state shifts to the “AT state BB state”. Thereafter, when BB ends, the process shifts to “AT ready”. In addition, after the “normal BB state” or the “AT state during BB state” is completed, when the continuation or winning of the AT is confirmed, the “AT precursor state” may be entered.

  As described above, the present embodiment is configured to shift to the “AT state” even when the push navigation is ignored in “AT in preparation”. When the reels are stopped in a stop order different from the corresponding navigation even though a push order navigation for stopping and displaying the promoted re-gamer who will shift to "RT3" occurs in "Preparing" However, since it shifts to “AT state”, it is configured so that it is not possible to continue to stay in “AT preparation” by ignoring the push order navigation (by continuing to stay in “AT preparation”) It waits for the winning of the BB, and is prevented from being shifted to a state related to the AT, which is more advantageous than the “normal BB state”, that is, the “BB state during AT” to become a strategy element. It should be noted that the navigation is not limited to “RT3”. For example, even though the push navigation for stopping and displaying the promoted re-gamer who will shift from “RT1” to “RT2” has occurred, When the reels are stopped in a different stop order, or when the condition device numbers 42 to 47 are won by the winning lottery means (a combination of specific symbols (conditions for shifting to “RT1”) may be stopped and displayed) When the reels are stopped in the stopping order different from the navigation even though the pressing order navigation has occurred, it is possible to ignore the pressing order navigation by shifting to the “AT in-progress state”, and to “ It is configured so that it cannot continue to stay. Furthermore, as a mode in which the player ignores the push order navigation and shifts to the “AT state”, (1) When the push order navigation of both the re-game player and the push order bell is ignored, (2) the re-game When the push order navigation of a combination is ignored, (3) When either the replay combination or push order navigation of the push order bell is ignored, (4) Either of the replay combination or push order navigation is pushed Ignored, and when the RT state falls (for example, transition from “RT3” to “RT1”). Here, the pushing order bell mainly refers to the condition device numbers 42 to 47 (3 bells) having the possibility of transition of the RT state. For example, any of the condition device numbers 23 to 40 (7 bells) Even when Kana ignores the push order navigation when winning, it is not necessary to shift to the “AT state”. Of course, even if one of the condition device numbers 23 to 40 (7 bells) is won, even if the push order navigation is ignored, the state may be shifted to the “AT state”. In the present embodiment, the probability of the re-gamer in the case of “RT2” is substantially the same as that of “RT1”, but the expected game medal acquisition value in the case of “RT2” is relative. If the configuration is set so as to be high, a configuration that shifts to the “AT state” even if the push order navigation is ignored is particularly effective in preventing capture. Although not shown, the state related to the AT after the RAM clear execution based on the setting change processing stays in the “normal game state”. Note that the description in the figure is merely a specific example. For example, the case where “re-game-C5” is won is illustrated as the state related to the AT only when “re-game-C5” is selected. Instead of migrating, only a specific example is described.

  Next, FIG. 41 is a flowchart of timer interruption processing according to the subroutine of step 4600 in the present embodiment. The processing of the subroutine is started when a timer interrupt is started in the processing of step 4040 or step 4104, and thereafter, a predetermined time (in this example, T is set, but a time of about 2 ms is set, for example) To be periodically executed.

  First, in step 4602, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes processing at the start of interruption (for example, saving of data held in a register in the CPUMC, input port check of a power-off detection signal, etc.). Next, in step 4604, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the power-off is currently detected (in the current interrupt process). In the case of No in step 4604, in step 4900, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a power-off process described later. On the other hand, if Yes in step 4604, in step 4606, the CPUMC of the main control board M starts timer measurement (update processing of various timers managed by software). Next, in step 4608, the CPU MC of the main control board M generates input port data and stores the data (updates the storage area of each input port data in the RAM area). Here, the input port data includes the settlement button D60, the start lever D50, the stop button D40, the door switch D80, the setting door switch M10, the setting key switch M20, the setting / reset button M30, the power-off detection signal, and the input acceptance sensor D10s. , Information relating to the detection of the first input sensor D20s, the second input sensor D30s, the first payout sensor H10s, the second payout sensor H20s, etc. (that is, whether or not these operation members are operated and the sensor detection state is Sampled at interrupt interval T).

  Next, in step 4610, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the input port data in the RAM area, and according to the sampling result of each input port data, the door switch flag, the set door switch flag, the set key switch flag. (For example, when the switch state of the door switch D80 is continuously turned on over a plurality of samplings, the door switch flag is turned on, so that the front switch is not affected by noise.) It is also possible to detect that the door DU is open). Next, in step 4611, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a spinning drive control process (a process related to control of driving of the reel M50) for all reels (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53). . Next, in step 4612, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the AT counter M60 and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. If YES in step 4612, in step 4613, the CPUMC of the main control board M displays the AT remaining game number (AT game number) on the AT counter value display device D280, and proceeds to step 4614. Note that if the result is No in step 4612, the process proceeds to step 4614. Next, in step 4614, the CPUMC of the main control board M outputs output data to the output port. Here, the output data is data for driving the reel M50, the blocker D100, and the like. Next, in step 4616, the CPUMC of the main control board M has all error flags turned off (not shown, inserted medal backflow flag, inserted number error flag, medal retention error flag, insertion error error flag, payout error). It is determined whether or not all flags relating to errors such as an error flag, a payout medal retention error flag, and a door switch flag are off. In the case of Yes in step 4616, in step 4618, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an error non-detection command (a command to the side of the sub control board S and that an error is not detected) ( For example, it is set in the register area), and the flow shifts to Step 4622. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4616, in step 4620, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an error detection command (a command to the side of the sub-control board S and related to the fact that an error is detected). (For example, set in the register area), the process proceeds to step 4622. In step 4620, information related to an error (currently occurring error) corresponding to the error flag that is turned on is transmitted to the sub-control board S side. The error not detected command may be set only when the error is released from the state where the error has occurred (only when it is determined that the flag is turned off). It is not necessary to execute the information setting process (S4618 may be omitted). Further, the error detection command may execute the set process only when an error occurs from a state where no error has occurred, or from the state where a first error (for example, a inserted medal retention error) has occurred. The set process may be executed when the type of error has changed, such as a second error (for example, a payout medal retention error).

  Next, in step 4622, the CPUMC of the main control board M transmits a control command (command on the sub control board S side) (for example, if it is set in the register area in step 4618 or step 4620, The set control command will be transmitted). Next, in step 4624, the CPUMC of the main control board M outputs an external terminal signal (a signal for transmitting information from the revolving game machine P to an external hall computer or the like). Although not shown, the information related to the error output by the external signal includes a door opening error, a closing error, a dispensing error, a setting door opening error, a closing reception sensor retention error, etc. The The door opening error is configured to be an error when the front door DU is opened and the door switch flag is turned on, and the setting door opening error is set and the setting door switch flag is turned on. If the insertion acceptance sensor detects that a game medal has accumulated, an error will be generated. Next, in step 4626, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the output data of the LEDs (7-segment LED lamp, etc.) (for example, a predetermined 7-segment LED unit among a plurality of 7-segment LED units). Output a predetermined segment of the segment) (so-called dynamic lighting). Next, in step 4628, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the LED lighting mode (for example, changing the LED lighting color). Note that step 4628 may not be executed. Next, in step 4630, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a soft random number management process (such as a process for updating a random value managed by software). Next, in step 4632, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the internal information register data (the internal information register has a region where an abnormality flag bit is set when an abnormality occurs in the random number generation circuit). . Next, in step 4634, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the frequency of the random number update clock is normal (whether or not an abnormality flag bit indicating the frequency abnormality is set). More specifically, the abnormality flag bit is set when the frequency of the random number update clock falls below a predetermined value. In the case of Yes in step 4634, in step 4636, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the update state of the built-in random number is normal (whether or not an abnormal flag bit indicating the update state abnormality is set). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 4636, in step 4638, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an interrupt end process and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 4602). On the other hand, if NO in step 4634 or 4636, in step 4640, CPUMC of main control board M sets a built-in random number error display (for example, sets an error number in the register area). Next, in step 4300, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the non-recoverable error process described above.

  Next, FIG. 42 is a flowchart of the power-off processing according to the subroutine of step 4900 in FIG. First, in step 4902, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores the stack pointer. Next, in step 4904, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the power-off process completed flag (for example, updates the power-off process completed flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to ON). Next, in step 4906, the CPUMC of the main control board M calculates a checksum from the start address of the RAM area to the address immediately before the checksum area, and information for error detection based on the calculated checksum (for example, the calculation) In the checksum area, the lower 1 byte in the checksum or the complement thereof) is set. Next, in step 4912, the CPUMC of the main control board M prohibits writing of RAM, and proceeds to step 4914. Next, in step 4914, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an infinite loop process for waiting for reset.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 43 to 45, a control process executed on the sub-control board S side will be described. First, FIG. 43 is a main flowchart on the side of the sub-control board S in the rotating game machine P according to this embodiment. Here, the upper side of the figure is an initial process on the side of the sub control board S that is executed only when the power to the gaming machine is turned on, and the lower side of the figure is a sub control board that is repeatedly executed after the power to the gaming machine is turned on. This is the main process on the S side. First, from the flowchart on the upper side of the figure, in step 6999, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs initial setting processing (for example, set of vector addresses (upper), calculation of checksum of all RWMs, RWM area After the initialization and the like are executed, the process proceeds to the sub-side routine on the lower side of step 7000 in FIG.

  Next, the sub-side routine on the lower side of FIG. First, in step 7100, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an effect operation content determination process described later. Next, in step 7500, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an effect operation control process to be described later. Next, in step 7600, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a transparency effect display device control process to be described later, and repeats the process of returning to the top of this process flow. Hereinafter, each subroutine will be described in detail.

  First, FIG. 44 is a flowchart of effect operation content determination processing according to the subroutine of Step 7100 of FIG. 43 in the present embodiment. First, in step 7102, the CPUSC of the sub control board S is a start lever operation command (command set in step 4252 from the main control board M side, and is transmitted to the sub control board S side by the processing of step 4622. ) Is received. In the case of Yes in Step 7102, in Step 7104, the CPUSC of the sub control board S acquires information on the game (information on the winning combination and game state) transmitted from the main control board M side. Next, in step 7106, based on the acquired information on the game, an effect pattern (effect mode executed by the effect display device SG) related to the current game is set. Next, in step 7108, based on the acquired information on the game, an effect pattern related to other effects is set. Next, in step 7110, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the effect operation permission flag (a flag that is enabled when the effect operation control process in step 7500 is on), and performs the next process (step 7500). The process proceeds to (1).

  Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of the rendering operation control process according to the subroutine of Step 7500 of FIG. 43 in the present embodiment. First, in step 7502, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the effect operation permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 7502, in step 7504, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the effect operation permission flag. Next, in step 7506, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the effect operation executing flag (a flag that is turned on when the effect operation control process is being executed), and proceeds to step 7508. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 7502, the process proceeds to step 7508.

  Next, in step 7508, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the effect operation executing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 7508, in step 7510, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the effect execution timing related to the current game has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 7510, in step 7512, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the effect pattern set in step 7106 of FIG. 44 on the effect display device SG, and proceeds to step 7514. Next, in step 7514, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the effect execution timing of other effects (game effect lamp D26, etc.) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 7514, in step 7524, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes the effect pattern set in step 7108 of FIG. 44, and proceeds to step 7526. Note that if the result is No in step 7514, the process proceeds to step 7526. Next, in step 7526, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs an effect operation in the game (the effect operation set by the subroutine of step 7100, and an effect pattern related to the effect operation when the start lever D50 is operated, and It is determined whether or not an effect that can determine an effect execution timing has ended. In the case of Yes in step 7526, in step 7528, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the effect operation execution flag, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 7600). On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 7508 or step 7526, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 7600). As described above, in this example, for the effect on the effect display device SG and the control of the game effect lamp D26, the effect pattern is determined when the start lever D50 is operated, and is appropriately transmitted from the main control board M side. The command related to the performance execution timing related to the progress of the played game is received and executed, but the execution timing of each performance is not limited to this. You may perform by receiving the execution command which concerns on the production | presentation execution timing of the production | presentation (for example, push order navigation) on the production | presentation display apparatus SG, and the game effect lamp | ramp D26. That is, as long as the production effect can be increased, it is not limited to the separation in this example.

  Next, FIG. 46 is a flowchart of the transparency effect display device control process according to the subroutine of Step 7600 of FIG. 43 in the present embodiment. First, in step 7602, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the lighting pattern set timing of the transparency effect display device TSG has been reached. In addition, as the lighting pattern set timing of the transmissive effect display device TSG, for example, the operation timing of the start lever D50, the initial processing execution timing after the turning-on type gaming machine P is turned on, and the game has not progressed for a predetermined period of time. It is good also as a standby state transition timing (it will be performed in the effect display apparatus SG that a standby demonstration effect will be performed if it will be in a standby state), game medal insertion timing, etc. which will transfer when it is judged. In the case of Yes in Step 7602, in Step 7604, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the lighting pattern of the transmissive effect display device TSG, and proceeds to Step 7606. Note that the process moves to step 7606 also in the case of No in step 7602.

  Next, in step 7606, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the control timing (timing such as lighting and extinguishing) of the transparency effect display device TSG has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 7606, in step 7608, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes control of the transparency effect display device TSG, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 7000). Even in the case of No in step 7606, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 7000).

  By configuring as described above, according to the rotating type gaming machine P according to the present embodiment, even when an electromagnetic wave is emitted in the vicinity of the light emitting member 1000, the high voltage signal is transmitted to the frame ground circuit. It flows through the pattern 1050 to the frame ground line. For this reason, when the frame ground line is grounded to the outside of the housing, a high voltage signal can be flowed to the outside of the revolving game machine P. When the frame ground line is not grounded outside the housing, the high voltage signal is attenuated by a noise countermeasure protector. Thus, even when electromagnetic waves are emitted near the light emitting member 1000, the flow into the main control board M, the sub control board S, etc. can be prevented, and the contents of the game and the sub control board M can be prevented. It is possible to prevent the contents of the effect on the control board S from being affected.

  In addition, the structure of the transmissive effect display device TSG according to the present example as described above is not limited to these structures as long as the same effect is achieved in the pachinko gaming machine and the swing type gaming machine P.

(Modification 1 from this embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the figure case unit FCU is provided with a transmissive effect display device TSG, and the transmissive effect display device TSG is provided with a circuit pattern 1050 for frame ground, thereby being attached to the figure case unit FCU (figure case unit FCU). However, the configuration in which the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is provided in the rotary game machine is limited to that of the present embodiment. Not. Therefore, a configuration different from that of the present embodiment in the rotary gaming machine provided with the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 will be described in detail below as a first modification from the present embodiment. Specifically, the present invention can be applied to a normal circuit board used for the LED lamp unit S10 and the like. More specifically, the circuit pattern for frame ground is formed along the outer periphery of the light emitting member 1000 described above by forming along the outer periphery of the circuit board CB (described later) constituting the LED lamp unit S10 shown in FIG. An effect similar to that of the structure in which 1050 is formed (FIG. 5A) can be expected.

  First, FIG. 47 is a cross-sectional plan view showing a configuration of an LED lamp unit S10 according to a first modification from the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the LED lamp unit S10 is disposed on each of the right side and the left side of the swivel game machine. FIG. 47 shows the LED lamp unit disposed on the right side of the spinning cylinder type game machine. In the following, the right LED lamp unit will be described as LED lamp unit S10, but the left LED lamp unit is also the right LED lamp. It has the same configuration except that the arrangement is symmetrical with the unit. The LED lamp unit S10 mainly includes a decorative cover member DC and a circuit board CB. As shown in FIG. 1, the decorative cover member DC has a long shape, and is arranged along a substantially vertical direction of the rotary type gaming machine.

  The decorative cover member DC is referred to as a so-called lens, and has various colors and patterns. Similarly, the circuit board CB has a long shape and is disposed along the decorative cover member DC. The decorative cover member DC is disposed so as to cover the entire circuit board CB. A plurality of light emitting diodes LD for emitting light are mounted on the circuit board CB along the circuit board CB, and the light emitted from the light emitting diodes LD illuminates the decorative cover member DC and then passes through the decorative cover member DC. Then, it proceeds toward the front of the spinning machine. For this reason, the player can visually recognize the color, the pattern, and the like attached to the decorative cover member DC by the light emitted from the light emitting diode LD.

  Further, the circuit board CB is equipped with a control IC for controlling the light emitting diode LD, a control signal circuit pattern CSP for supplying a control signal from the control IC to the light emitting diode LD, and a high voltage on the frame ground line. A frame ground circuit pattern 1050 for flowing a signal is formed. In the circuit board CB, the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is formed so as to circulate around the control signal circuit pattern CSP, and is formed on the outer peripheral side of the control signal circuit pattern CSP.

  For example, in the decorative cover member DC, the distance from the closest position NP (distance DL0) closest to the end of the circuit board CB to the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is DL1, and the control signal circuit from the closest position NP is DL1. The distance to the pattern CSP is DL2. As described above, in the circuit board CB, the frame ground circuit pattern 1050 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the control signal circuit pattern CSP, and DL1 <DL2. For this reason, even when an electromagnetic wave is emitted at the closest position NP, a high-voltage signal hardly flows through the control signal circuit pattern CSP far from the closest position NP, and the frame ground closer to the closest position NP.

The second end 5420A and the third end 5421A, the fourth end 5430A and the fifth end 5431A, the sixth end 5440A and the seventh end 5441A, the eighth end 5450A and the ninth end 5451A, The tenth end portion 5460A and the eleventh end portion 5461A, and the twelfth end portion 5470A and the thirteenth end portion 5471A are frame ground circuit patterns 5100B (first end portion 5410B and the first end portion 5410B formed on the fourth conductive layer, which will be described later). A frame ground circuit pattern connecting the two end portions 5420B is electrically connected. On the other hand, the first end portion 5410A and the fourteenth end portion 5480A that are closest to each other in the circuit patterns for frame ground arranged in the first conductive layer are connected via the second end portion 5420A to the thirteenth end portion 5471A. Although the circuit is bypassed and electrically connected, there is no circuit pattern that connects both ends directly (with the shortest possible design distance). That is, the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is not looped within one conductive layer. Further, the control signal circuit pattern, the frame decoration lamp circuit pattern, and the gaming machine ground line UGL (ground pattern “GND”) described above are not electrically connected and are formed in an insulated state. .

  Next, the frame ground circuit pattern 5100B formed on the back surface side (fourth layer 5000B formed on the circuit board) of the lamp substrate 5000 will be described. The frame ground circuit pattern 5100B formed on the back surface side (fourth layer 5000B formed on the circuit board) of the lamp substrate 5000 is formed on the front surface side (first layer 5000A formed on the circuit board) of the lamp substrate 5000. Similarly to the frame ground circuit pattern 5100A, it is formed in a linear pattern thinner than the ground pattern in one conductive layer (in the fourth layer 5000B) constituting the lamp substrate 5000, and extends over the entire outer periphery. Although it is formed in a shape approximately the same as the shape of the outer periphery of the lamp substrate 5000 (a shape along the outer periphery of the lamp substrate 5000), at least a part thereof is not connected to the nearest other circuit pattern for frame ground. The outer periphery of the lamp substrate 5000 is formed so as not to loop completely. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 53, the frame ground circuit pattern 5100B includes a first end 5410B, a second end 5420B, a third end 5421B, and a fourth end 5430B on the outer periphery of the lamp substrate 5000. Have. The second end portion 5420B and the third end portion 5421B are frame ground circuit patterns 5100A formed in the first conductive layer described above (the frame ground circuit connecting the thirteenth end portion 5471A and the fourteenth end portion 5480A). Pattern). On the other hand, the first end portion 5410B and the fourth end portion 5430B, which are closest to each other in the circuit pattern for frame ground arranged in the fourth conductive layer, connect both terminals directly (with the shortest possible design distance). ) A circuit pattern to be connected is not provided. That is, the frame ground circuit pattern 5100B is not looped in one conductive layer. Further, it is electrically connected to the terminal of the frame ground circuit pattern connection connector FGC via the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 formed on the back surface side (fourth layer 5000B formed on the circuit board) of the lamp substrate 5000. Yes. On the other hand, the control signal circuit pattern, the frame decoration lamp circuit pattern, and the gaming machine ground line UGL (ground pattern “GND”) are not electrically connected and are formed in an insulated state. .

  As described above, the frame ground circuit pattern formed on the lamp substrate 5000 (circuit board) has the frame ground circuit pattern 5100A formed on the front surface side (first layer 5000A formed on the circuit board) and the back surface side. Although formed on the outer periphery of the lamp substrate 5000 (circuit board) by the frame ground circuit pattern 5100B formed on the (fourth layer 5000B formed on the circuit board), a part of the outer periphery of the lamp substrate 5000 The upper portion (between the first end portion 5410A and the fourteenth end portion 5480A of the frame ground circuit pattern 5100A and between the first end portion 5410B and the fourth end portion 5430B of the frame ground circuit pattern 5100B) There is also no frame ground circuit pattern on the surface. Also, while being formed so as not to loops in all the conductive layer has a structure in which all the frame ground circuit pattern is terminal electrically connected to the circuit pattern connector FGC frame ground.

  As described above, the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is not electrically connected to the plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs) and the frame decoration lamp circuit pattern LEDL provided on the lamp substrate 5000. It is formed in an insulated state, and is arranged outside the control signal circuit pattern and the frame decoration lamp circuit pattern LEDL over the outer periphery of the lamp substrate 5000, and a high voltage signal has flowed into the lamp substrate 5000. However, the high voltage signal flows through the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 and is discharged out of the lamp substrate 5000 via the terminal of the frame ground circuit pattern connection connector FGC. For this reason, when a high voltage signal is mixed from the outside, the frame decoration circuit lamp 5100 formed on the outer periphery of the high voltage signal easily flows, and even if it flows to the frame ground circuit pattern 5100, an insulated frame decoration lamp The circuit pattern LEDL is affected, and the possibility that a plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs) emits light abnormally or is damaged can be reduced. In particular, in the second embodiment, from the end of the lamp board 5000 to the nearest closest position where the player can directly contact the frame ground circuit pattern 5100, as in the first modification from the present embodiment described above. Is the LFG, and the distance from the closest position to the circuit pattern LEDL for the frame decoration lamp is LLEDL. In the lamp substrate 5000, the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the frame decorative lamp circuit pattern LEDL, and LFG <LLEDL. For this reason, even if the source of the high voltage signal is brought close to the gaming machine with malicious intent and the high voltage signal is mixed, the generated high voltage signal is the closest circuit pattern for the frame ground. Since it easily flows to 5100 (a high voltage signal is likely to be mixed in a conductor close to the distance), it affects the circuit pattern LEDL for the insulated frame decoration lamp, and a plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs) are abnormal. The possibility of light emission or breakage can be suitably reduced. Note that the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is preferably formed on the outer periphery of the lamp board 5000 and grounded (grounded) to the outside of the gaming machine housing via a frame ground line FGL, which will be described later. When the grounding state is maintained, the high voltage signal flows (discharges) to the grounding (earth) outside the casing of the gaming machine, and further prevention of malfunction due to noise such as the high voltage signal can be further expected.

  Next, details of electronic components mounted on the lamp substrate 5000 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 54 schematically shows electrical components mounted on the lamp board 5000 from the front side, and includes a plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs), a connector CN, a frame decoration lamp driver DR, and a frame ground circuit pattern.

") Will be electrically connected.

Soldered to the land, the corresponding terminal of the frame decoration lamp driver DR (the power supply terminal of DC5V which is the driving power of the driver, the input terminal (SCLK) for the serial clock signal, the serial data signal) Input terminal (SDATA) and serial enable signal input terminal (SDEN)) Drive control signal supplied from the stage (performance control board) is input.

  The output signal from the frame decoration lamp driver DR is supplied to the frame decoration lamp 5300 via the frame decoration lamp circuit pattern LEDL (particularly, SLEDL) via the frame decoration lamp driver mounting land.

<Frame decoration lamp 5300>
The frame decoration lamp 5300 is composed of a plurality of light emitting elements. For example, the light emitting device includes a first light emitting element 5310, a second light emitting element 5320,..., A seventh light emitting element 5370, and an assembly of the plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs) is frame-decorated. This is referred to as a lamp 5300. A plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs) are formed on lands for a plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs) formed on the surface side of the lamp substrate 5000 (the first layer 5000A formed on the circuit board). The circuit pattern LEDL (PLEDL, SLEDL) for frame decoration lamps is electrically connected via the land. The light emitting element can be, for example, a light emitting diode (LED). In general, a diode element having a PN junction can be used as the light emitting diode. The light emitting diode may be a laser diode (LD) element or the like. The light emitting diode can use a plurality of colors. For example, by using a combination of red, blue, and green light emitting diodes, light can be emitted in a desired light emission color.

<Circuit pattern LEDL for frame decoration lamp>
The frame decoration lamp circuit pattern LEDL is a circuit pattern for driving a plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs), and a control signal and power for emitting light from the plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs). It is a circuit pattern which supplies.

A frame decoration lamp circuit pattern SLEDL that supplies a control signal for controlling light emission such as blinking.

<Frame ground circuit pattern connector FGC>
The frame ground circuit pattern connection connector FGC is an electronic component for connecting the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 formed on the lamp substrate 5000. The input side (connection terminal side) of the circuit pattern connection connector FGC for frame ground is electrically connected to the plate metal plate portion TBK1800 of the door back surface TBK shown in FIG. Further, it is grounded (grounded) to the outside of the gaming machine housing via the contact CTP via the hinge sheet metal portion TBK1900 of the door back surface TBK shown in FIG. Although not shown, the contact CTP is provided in the vicinity of the power supply unit E, the external connection terminal, the power switch Ea, and the like, and is electrically connected to the frame ground circuit pattern 5100.
On the other hand, as described above, the frame ground circuit pattern connection connector FGC is soldered to the connector mounting land formed on the back surface side (the fourth layer 5000B formed on the circuit board) of the lamp substrate 5000. The frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is connected via this land.

  Next, the circuit configuration of the lamp board 5000 and the power supply unit E will be described with reference to FIG.

  The power supply unit E generates an appropriate voltage DC power source including a DC12V line from an AC 24V AC power source supplied from outside the gaming machine, and a gaming machine ground line UGL (synonymous with signal ground) serving as a reference potential is defined. , A board for supplying DC power generated to the entire gaming machine including the lamp board 5000 and other control boards (for example, the main control board M, the sub-control board S, the prize ball payout control board KH), and the noise A countermeasure protector 6100 and a noise countermeasure protector 6200 are provided. The noise countermeasure protectors 6100 and 6200 have a function of attenuating a high voltage signal flowing into the gaming machine when electromagnetic waves are emitted. The noise countermeasure protectors 6100 and 6200 preferably have the same function. The noise countermeasure protector 6100 is disposed between the AC 24V power source and the gaming machine ground line UGL. The noise countermeasure protector 6200 is disposed between the AC 24V power supply and the frame ground line FGL. Here, the gaming machine ground line UGL (gaming machine ground) is an electrical connection for determining a common reference potential of the control circuits such as the main control board M and the sub control board S in the gaming machine casing. It is different from the frame ground line FGL (frame ground).

  The noise countermeasure protectors 6100 and 6200 are constituted by, for example, a DSP (diamond surge protector), a coil, a capacitor, a resistor, a ferrite bead or the like alone or in combination, and a noise signal mixed in the frame ground line FGL and the gaming machine ground line UGL. Directly or attenuated to escape to the AC24V side. As a specific example, when a coil is used as a noise countermeasure protector, an unnecessary high voltage signal (high frequency component) flowing from the lamp board 5000 or the AC 24V power supply side is absorbed by the coil, and the high voltage signal (high frequency component) is reduced. The

  When a capacitor is used as a noise countermeasure protector, the capacitor has a high impedance for a low frequency component, and conversely, a low impedance for a high frequency component. Therefore, using this characteristic, a general DC power supply is used as a high-pass filter that allows only a high-voltage signal (high-frequency component) that is a component of high-frequency noise to pass while being electrically insulated.

  As described above, on the output side of the power supply unit E, the generated various DC power supplies are appropriately supplied to each control board using a circuit board, a harness, or the like (not shown), and also appropriately supplied to the lamp board 5000. A DC12V line and a gaming machine ground line UGL and the like are connected using a circuit board, a harness, and the like. Note that the gaming machine ground line UGL is connected not only to the lamp board 5000 but also to other control boards (for example, the main control board M and the sub control board S) other than the lamp board 5000.

  With respect to the power supply unit E configured and connected as described above, and the lamp board 5000, an operation when an electromagnetic wave (high voltage signal) is generated in the gaming machine frame YW close to the lamp board 5000 will be described. For example, when the player's hand touches the gaming machine frame YW close to the lamp substrate 5000 and the strong static electricity accumulated in the human body is emitted (discharged), the generated static electricity is a high voltage signal as noise. Flows to the lamp substrate 5000. However, since the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is formed on the lamp substrate 5000, a high voltage signal from the outside flows to the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 without being applied to the frame decoration lamp 5300 (FIG. 52, FIG. 52). 53), the current flows to the frame ground line FGL via the frame ground circuit pattern connector FGC (see FIG. 53). Further, the high voltage signal that has flowed to the frame ground line FGL passes through the contact point CTP from the tray back plate part TBK1800 of the door back surface TBK formed of a metal body through the hinge plate part TBK1900 (see FIGS. 51 and 55). And flows to the ground (earth) which is outside the housing of the gaming machine (see FIG. 55). If the frame ground line FGL is not grounded (grounded) outside the gaming machine housing, the high voltage signal is attenuated by the noise countermeasure protector 6200. For this reason, when a high voltage signal that has flowed to the lamp board 5000 is applied to the frame decoration lamp 5300, the control board other than the lamp board 5000 (for example, the main control board M, the sub-board, etc.) via the frame decoration lamp 5300. A high voltage signal is supplied to the control board S), and a control board such as the main control board M causes a malfunction, so that the game result is affected by a malfunction in which the result of the lottery decision changes from a loss to a big hit. This can be suitably suppressed.

  In the second embodiment, the example in which the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is provided on the lamp substrate 5000 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a circuit board disposed near a place where strong electromagnetic waves or static electricity are generated when a player or an administrator touches the gaming machine frame YW, or a circuit board disposed near a noise generation source such as a game island Is relatively susceptible to electromagnetic waves. Therefore, it is preferable to provide the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 on a board or the like disposed near the gaming machine frame YW.

However, the present invention is not limited to this (as a separate board). Although it may be configured, it is possible to reduce the situation that noise is mixed into space merit and wiring etc. by being configured to be integrated). Also, the work sharing between the two control units can be changed as appropriate, for example, the voice control is executed by the sub-sub control unit SS (suitable when a voice control circuit integrated with the VDP is adopted). Further, an electronic value may be given without giving a physical prize ball as a prize ball.

  Next, game peripheral devices will be described. Since some of the peripheral devices have already been described in detail, the remaining configuration will be briefly described.

  Next, FIG. 57 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the main control board M. After powering on the gaming machine, the process of FIG. That is, after the game machine is turned on and initialized (not shown), in step 1002, the main control board M confirms the input port of the RAM clear button and the reset button (RAM clear) of the power supply unit E. Button) has been operated, that is, whether or not an operation of clearing the contents of the RAM has been performed intentionally by a game hall manager or the like. In the case of Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears all the RAM contents (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB) on the main control board M side. Next, in step 1006, the information transmission control means MT transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub main control unit SM side (even if it is transmitted at this timing). Alternatively, a command may be set at this timing and transmitted by a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the CPUMC of the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, stored in the checksum and RAM area recorded at the time of power interruption) Compared to the amount of information available). Next, in step 1010, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are not normal based on the check result (whether or not the information at the time of power failure is not backed up in the RAM). To do. If YES in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 1004 (RAM clear process described above). On the other hand, if the data backed up in the RAM in step 1010 is normal, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, the CPUMC of the main control board M is stored (backed up) in the RAM in the main control board M in step 1012. In step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side (may be transmitted at the timing, or the command is set at the timing and will be described later. The control command transmission process may be used for transmission), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the CPUMC of the main control board M triggers a scheduled interrupt (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms) related to the main process on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt cycle is set to T) (as a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, (b) in FIG. 11 is executed), the processing in step 1018 is performed. Transition. After step 1018, the CPUMC of the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number update processing (for example, random number counter increment processing) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The CPUMC of the main control board M executes the process shown in FIG. 5B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt period T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. . Next, in step 1200, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later.

Next, in step 1600, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1997, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the prize ball payout control board KH to execute a prize ball payout control process (drive control of the prize ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the winning opening where the game ball has won. , Processing for managing the result). Next, in step 1998, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes output processing of external signals (information output to the external terminal board, the hall computer HC, etc.). Next, in step 1999, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-main control unit side), and immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. Return to the process that was being executed.

  Next, NMI interrupt processing will be described. As described above, the CPUMC of the main control board M is configured such that the power interruption signal from the reset IC is input to the NMI terminal of the CPU, and the processing of FIG. Is executed. That is, when the gaming machine is powered off (NMI interrupt in this example), in step 1020, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets power-off information (for example, checksum) based on the information in the RAM area. . Next, in step 1022, the CPU MC of the main control board M prohibits writing to the RAM area, prohibits timer interrupt processing, and shifts to power-off waiting loop processing.

  Next, FIG. 58 is a flowchart of auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the auxiliary game start port entry determining means MJ11-H determines whether or not a game ball has entered (inflow, passed in the case of a gate) into the auxiliary game start port H10. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H, and whether or not the number of hold balls is not the upper limit (for example, 4). Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-H acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H sets the random number together with information on what number of the hold is in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H. 1 is added, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1200). In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the next process (process of step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 59 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing condition determining means MP21-B refers to the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H, and the electric accessory releasing flag is off. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing condition determining means MP21-B refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H, and the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is set. It is determined whether or not it is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the second main game start opening electric accessory opening / closing condition determination means MP21-B accesses the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H, and holds the ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the auxiliary game symbol determining means MN41-H refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H to determine the auxiliary game side game state (flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). In addition to the acquisition, the auxiliary game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-H is referred to, and the stop symbol is determined based on the acquired auxiliary game side gaming state and the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the reserved ball (for example, the auxiliary game short time flag) Is selected, the winning symbol is selected with a higher probability than in the case of being off), and temporarily stored in the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H.

  Here, the right side of the figure is an example of a lottery table for determining an auxiliary game stop symbol. As shown in the table, in this example, there are “D0, D1, D2” as the stop symbols, and “D1, D2” as the stop symbols as the winning symbols. In the non-time-reduced game, when the stopped symbol is “D1”, the open mode is (0.2 seconds open → closed), and the open mode of the electric combination that will be opened is stopped. When the symbol is “D2”, the release mode is (open for 0.2 seconds → close for 0.8 seconds → open for 2.0 seconds, closed) (longest open). In the time-saving game, when the stopped symbol is “D1”, the release mode is (1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → closed). When the symbol is “D2”, the opening mode is configured to be (open for 0.2 seconds → close for 0.8 seconds → open for 4.0 seconds → close). It should be noted that the stop symbol is likely to be a lost symbol “D0” during non-time-reduced games, and the stop symbol is likely to be a winning symbol “D1” during time-reduced games.

  Next, in step 1218, the auxiliary game variation mode determining means MN51-H determines the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H based on the auxiliary game side game state (the flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). A predetermined time (for example, 1 second when the auxiliary game short flag is on and 10 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is off) is set. In step 1220, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1222, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H updates the hold information recorded in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H after subtracting 1 from the hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. At the same time, after the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary game symbol fluctuation management timer MP11t-H, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary game symbol change display on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g.

  Next, in step 1224, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H to determine whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H to acquire the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol, and the acquired auxiliary The stop symbol of the game symbol is confirmed and displayed on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g. Then, at step 1228, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1230, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing condition determining means MP21-B determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is “hit” (D1 · D2 in this example). Determine. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B is based on the winning symbol on the auxiliary game side, and in the release mode (for example, in the case of the winning symbol “D1”). Open for 1 second-> Close for 1 second-> Open for 1 second-> Close for 1 second-> Open for 1 second-> Closed for release symbol "D2": Open for 0.2 seconds, Close for 0.8 seconds, 5), and a predetermined time related to the opening time (opening / closing time) of the electric game product is set in the second main game start opening electric game product release timer MP22t-B. Next, in step 1234, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B turns on the electric accessory releasing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. . Then, in step 1236, the second main game start port electric combination opening / closing control means MP20-B opens the second main game start port electric combination B11d of the second main game start port B10, and proceeds to step 1242. . Note that if the result of Step 1202 is No, the process proceeds to Step 1242. In the second embodiment, when the main game short flag is off and the auxiliary game stop symbol is the predetermined hit symbol (D2), the time to continue to open the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d is maximized. It is configured.

  Next, in step 1242, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B refers to the second main game start port electric accessory release timer MP22t-B, and determines the time for opening the electric accessory. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1242, in step 1244 and step 1246, the second main game start port electric combination opening / closing control means MP20-B closes the second main game start port electric combination B11d and temporarily stops the auxiliary game state. The electric-power-operating-released flag in the flag area of the storage unit MB10-H is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1300).

  If No in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224. If No in steps 1206, 1224, 1230, and 1242, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1300).

  Further, in this flowchart, for the sake of convenience, after the stop symbol is displayed in step 1226, the process proceeds to the next step immediately, but the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, it may be configured to move to the next processing after a fixed stop display time of about 500 ms (for example, this processing is performed by performing branch processing using a stop display fixing flag and a timer). Achievable).

  Next, FIG. 60 is a flowchart of main game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game start port entrance information has been received from the first main game start port entrance detection device A11s of the first main game start port A10. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the first main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, the winning lottery random number for determining the success / failure, the symbol lottery random number for determining the winning symbol, and the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random numbers to acquire are acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, and are sequentially acquired at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the CPUMC of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired random number in the RAM area of the main control board M. Next, in step 1310, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information indicating that the first main game random number has been acquired (pending occurrence command) to the sub-main control unit SM. Set (sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999).

  Next, in step 1312, whether or not the CPUMC of the main control board M has received the second main game start port entrance information from the second main game start port entrance detection device B11s of the second main game start port B10. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the second main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1314, in step 1316, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the second embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of the success / failure lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired as in the first main game content determination means. Incidentally, the acquisition range of each random number on the first main game side and the acquisition range of each random number on the second main game side (for example, the acquisition range of the random determination random number for the first main game and the acquisition lot random number for the second main game) Are set to the same. Next, in step 1318, the CPUMC of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired random number in the RAM area. Next, in step 1320, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information indicating that the second main game random number has been acquired (pending occurrence command) to the sub-main control unit SM. Set (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and proceed to the next process (process in step 1400). In the case of No in Step 1302 and Step 1304, the process proceeds to Step 1312. In the case of No in Step 1312 and Step 1314, the process proceeds to the next process (Process of Step 1400).

  FIG. 61 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the RAM area of the main control board M and confirms whether there is no hold of the second main game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a first main game symbol display process to be described later, and the next process {the process of steps 1400 (1) and (2). }. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the second main game symbol display process described later, and the next process {steps 1400 (1), (2). The process proceeds to.

  Thus, in the second embodiment, when there is a holding ball of the second main game symbol, regardless of the presence of the holding ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning order is that of the first main game symbol). Although it is configured to prioritize the suspension of the second main game symbol, even if it is on hold first, it is not limited to this (the suspension digest based on the winning order and both main game symbols simultaneously) You may comprise so that the parallel lottery which draws in parallel may be performed.

  Next, FIG. 62 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this process is substantially the same process on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Use parentheses. First, in step 1403, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the change start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is that the special game is not being played (or the condition device is being operated), the main game symbol is not changing, and there is a hold of the main game symbol. Although not shown in this example, in the case of providing a variable fixed time (time for displaying the fixed display symbol after the main game symbol is displayed), during the variable fixed time, It may be configured not to satisfy

  In the case of Yes in step 1403, the CPUMC of the main control board M is temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M in step 1405 and step 1406. The second main game content determination random number) is read out, deleted from the RAM area of the main control board M, and the remaining stored information temporarily stored is shifted (holding digestion process). Next, in step 1410-1, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the corresponding game state, and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the winning lottery random number). Based on the above, a main game symbol winning lottery is executed.

  Here, FIG. 63 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table (second main game success / failure lottery table). As shown in this example, in the second embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-stochastic varying gaming state. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this.

  Next, in step 1410-2, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the first main game symbol determination lottery table (second main game symbol determination lottery table), determines the main game symbol determination result lottery and the first Based on a main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, a symbol lottery random number), stop symbols relating to the main game symbol are determined, and these are temporarily stored in the RAM area.

  Here, FIG. 63 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table (second main game symbol determination lottery table). As shown in this example, in the second embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “4A, 5A, 7A” and “4B, 5B, 7B”) Thus, one main game symbol is determined as a jackpot symbol. The number of special game rounds determined with reference to the main game symbol is 8R for 4A, 4B, 5A, and 5B, and 16R for 7A and 7B. Note that the types of random numbers and stop symbols are only examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. {For example, a lose symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. May}

  Next, in step 1412, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the first main game variation mode determination lottery table (second main game variation mode determination lottery table) corresponding to each game state, and the main game symbol. Based on the result of the lottery determination and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number), the variation mode of the main game symbol is determined, and these are stored in the RAM area of the main control board M. Is temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  Here, the main game table 3 shown in FIG. 63 is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table (second main game variation mode determination lottery table). As shown in the figure, in the second embodiment, the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol with respect to a certain random number value can be determined based on the result of determining whether or not the main game symbol is a lottery and the main game time short flag state. It is configured. For example, for a certain random number value, when the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result is win, it is easy to determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long, and the main game short time flag is on (time reduction) In the case of a gaming state), it is configured such that a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively short is easily determined. Note that this example is merely an example, and the type of variation mode (variation time), the selection rate, and the like are not limited at all. Further, the symbol variation time on the first main game side in the time-reduced game state (when the main game short-time flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long {the symbol variation on the second main game side Is configured to be advantageous for the player, it is easy for the second main game side to be suspended by reducing the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (advantageous for the player). It is particularly effective when the starting port on the first main game side and the starting port on the second main game side cannot be distinguished in order to establish the situation.

  Next, in step 1414, the CPUMC of the main control board M performs commands (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the main game symbols temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M, and A command related to the current gaming state (design variation display start instruction command) is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side (by the control command transmission process of step 1999, the sub main control unit SM side). To be sent). Next, in step 1415, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a predetermined time related to the main game symbol variation time in the first and second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-C. Next, in step 1416, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). On B21g), according to the variation mode stored in the RAM area of the main control board M, the variation display of the main game symbol is started. Next, in step 1417, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the changing flag, and proceeds to step 1420.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1403, in step 1419, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in step 1419, the process proceeds to step 1420. If No in step 1419, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1550).

  Next, in step 1420, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the CPUMC of the main control board M transmits a command for transmitting information (symbol confirmation display instruction command) to the sub-main control unit SM side to the effect that the symbol variation ends. It is set in the buffer MT10 (sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1423, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). B21g) The main game symbol variation display is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the RAM area of the main control board M is displayed and controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1424, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the changing flag.

  Next, in step 1430, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the RAM area of the main control board M and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1440, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the condition device operation flag, and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, if No in step 1430, the process proceeds to step 1500.

  Next, in step 1500, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a specific game end determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1550). Even in the case of No in step 1420, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1550).

  Next, FIG. 64 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1506, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1506, in step 1510, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the CPUMC of the main control board M decrements (decrements) the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1514, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1514, in step 1516, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1518, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game short time flag, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1550). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1550) also in the case of No in step 1506, step 1510, or step 1514. In this way, in this example, the remaining short time count (the remaining number of symbol fluctuations in which the time-reduced gaming state is terminated by the number of symbol variation end times after the end of the special game) is transmitted to the sub-control board S. Has been.

  Next, FIG. 65 is a flowchart of the special game operating condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in step 1552, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1552, in step 1554, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the specific game flag (main game probability change flag / main game short flag / auxiliary game short flag). Next, in step 1558, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1560, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the special game transition permission flag. Next, in step 1562, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the condition device operation flag and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1600). In the case of No in step 1552, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 66 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in steps 1604 and 1606, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the special game transition permission flag and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1607, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an initial value (1 in this example) to a round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1608, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets information to start a special game (special game start display instruction command) in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit side. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1612.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  Next, in step 1612, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the round continuation flag is off, in other words, whether or not it is immediately before the start of each round. In the case of Yes in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the set opening pattern (for example, an opening pattern that keeps opening, a pattern that performs opening and closing) is set. Next, in step 1616, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1620, the CPUMC of the main control board M drives the first large winning opening electric combination C11d (or the second large winning opening electric combination C21d) of the first large winning opening C10 to be the first large. The winning opening C10 (or the second large winning opening C20) is opened, and a special game timer MP34t (especially an opening time timer) is set to a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), and the process proceeds to Step 1622. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, when the big prize opening is being opened, the process proceeds to step 1622 without performing the processing of steps 1614 to 1620.

  Next, in step 1622, the CPUMC of the main control board M transmits a game state command (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) related to the current special game to the sub-main control unit SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Next, in step 1624, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) is assigned to the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) in the round. It is determined whether or not there is a winning ball. If Yes in step 1624, the process proceeds to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1624, in step 1626, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the special game timer MP34t (particularly, the opening time timer) for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) relating to the opening of the big prize opening. It is determined whether or not elapses. Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1628. If the answer is No in step 1626, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1997).

  Next, in step 1628, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the first big prize opening electric combination C11d of the first big prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d of the second big prize opening C20). Is stopped and the first big prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening C20) is closed. Next, in step 1630, the CPUMC of the main control board M resets the special game timer MP34t (especially the open time timer). Next, in step 1632, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1633, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1634, it is determined whether or not the last round has ended (for example, whether or not the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds). If Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1638, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores information indicating that the special game is to be ended (special game end display instruction command) in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side. Set (sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). In step 1650, a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, is executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997). Even in the case of No in step 1634, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1997).

  Next, FIG. 67 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a probabilistic jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol that will shift to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the special game. 5A, 7A, 5B, 7B "). In the case of Yes in step 1652, in step 1654, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the main game probability change flag, and proceeds to step 1656. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1652 (in this example, the non-probability big hit symbol which is a big hit symbol that will shift to the non-probability variation gaming state after the end of the special game is a stop symbol. In this example, “4A In the case of “4B”), the process proceeds to step 1656. Next, in step 1656, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the predetermined number of times (100 in this example) to the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1658, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1660, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the auxiliary game short time flag, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997).

  Next, a control process executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 68 is a main flowchart on the sub control board S side (particularly on the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 4D is a process on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after resetting, such as when the game machine is powered on. That is, at the time of powering on the gaming machine, in step 2002, the CPUSC of the sub-main control unit SM executes initial processing based on information received from the main side (main control board M side) (for example, RAM clearing). When information is received → RAM on the sub-control board S side is initialized, and various information commands are received → Production-related information at the time of power interruption is reset in the RAM on the sub-control board S side). Thereafter, the process proceeds to a loop process for repeatedly executing (f) which is a repetitive process routine of the sub-main control unit SM. Here, when (f) is executed, as shown in the process of FIG. 5F, first, in step 2400, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a hold information management process described later. Next, in step 2700, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decoration symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2800, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decorative symbol display control process to be described later. Next, in step 2900, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a special game related display control process which will be described later. Next, in step 2950, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a frame decoration lamp control process to be described later. Next, in step 2999, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a display command transmission control process (sends commands set in these series of subroutines to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and ends this repetitive process routine. To do.

  As described above, the CPUSC of the sub-main control unit SM adopts a form in which the sub-main routine (S2400 to S2999) is loop-processed after reset. Further, the process of FIG. 5E is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line on the main control board M described above is sent to one terminal (in this example) of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM. , NMI terminal) is a processing flow (e). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the sub-main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sends a command input port (described above) from the main control board M side. Check the data signal line input port). In step 2006, the CPUSC of the sub control board S temporarily stores the command transmitted from the main control board M side in the RAM area on the sub main control unit SM side based on the confirmation result, and immediately before this interrupt processing. Return to the process that was being executed.

  FIG. 69 is a flowchart of the hold information management process related to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, whether or not the CPUSC of the sub control board S has received a command relating to a new hold occurrence (hold information relating to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol) from the main control board M side. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the drawing hold counter value (in this example, a maximum of 4 for the first main game and a maximum of 4 for the second main game). Add “1”. Next, in step 2406, the CPUSC of the sub control board S temporarily stores the hold information (random number etc.) transmitted from the main control board M side in the RAM area of the sub control board S, and proceeds to step 2418. .

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2402, in step 2410, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a symbol variation display start instruction command has been received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2410, in step 2412, the CPUSC of the sub control board S subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter value. Next, in step 2414, the CPUSC of the sub control board S deletes the hold information (such as a random value) related to the symbol variation from the RAM area of the sub control board S and shifts the remaining hold information. Next, in step 2416, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 2418. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2410, the process proceeds to Step 2418.

  Next, in step 2418, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on and displays the same number of hold display lamps (hold display images) as the drawing hold counter value on the effect display device SG, and performs the next processing (step 2700). The process proceeds to (1).

  Next, FIG. 70 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. First, in step 2702, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 2702, in step 2704, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination permission flag. Next, in step 2706, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S refers to the temporarily stored symbol information (stop symbol / variation mode related to the main game symbol) and the drawing variation content determination lottery table. Stop symbols for symbols {For example, if the stop symbol related to the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol, it will be "7.7.7" or the like, and if it is a lost symbol, "1.3.5." And the variation mode are determined and temporarily stored in the RAM area of the sub-control board S.

  Next, in step 2712, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2800). In the case of No in step 2702, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2800).

  FIG. 71 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. First, in step 2802, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. If Yes in step 2802, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination flag in step 2804. Next, in step 2806, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol changing flag. Next, in step 2809, the CPUSC of the sub control board S starts the drawing variation time management timer SM21t, and proceeds to step 2810. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2802, the process proceeds to Step 2810.

  Next, in step 2810, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 2810, in step 2811, the CPUSC of the sub control board S confirms the timer value of the drawing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2812, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S has reached the decoration design change start timing based on the drawing change time management timer SM21t and the change mode temporarily stored in the RAM area of the sub-control board S. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2812, in step 2814, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a command for displaying the decoration symbol variation on the effect display device SG (sub-sub control in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). The process proceeds to step 2832.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2812, in step 2816, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the decorative design based on the drawing change time management timer SM21t and the change mode temporarily stored in the RAM area of the sub control board S. It is determined whether or not the stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2816, in step 2818, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a command for displaying a stop display (temporary stop display) of the decorative symbols on the effect display device SG (display command transmission control in step 2999). In the processing, it is transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and the process proceeds to Step 2832.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2816, in step 2824, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the preview image or the It is determined whether or not the reach image display timing has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2824, in step 2826, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a command for displaying the image display related to the notice image and the reach image on the effect display device SG (in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). Then, the process proceeds to step 2832. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2824, the process proceeds to Step 2832.

  Next, in step 2832, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, receiving information indicating that the main game symbol is stopped and displayed from the main control board M side). Whether or not). In the case of Yes in step 2832, in step 2834, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a stop display command (decision display command) of the decorative symbol on the effect display device SG (sub-sub-command in the display command transmission control process in step 2999). Transmitted to the control unit SS side). Next, in step 2836, the CPUSC of the sub control board S stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2838, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol changing flag, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2900). In addition, also when it is No in step 2810 or step 2832, it transfers to the following process (process of step 2900).

  Next, FIG. 72 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process according to the subroutine of step 2900 in FIG. First, in step 2902, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the special gaming flag is OFF. In the case of Yes in step 2902, in step 2904, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a special game start display instruction command has been received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2904, in step 2912, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the special gaming flag. Next, in step 2914, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs a big hit start display on the effect display device SG (performs appropriate display based on the type of the big hit), and proceeds to step 2920. Note that if the result is No in step 2902, the process proceeds to step 2920.

  Next, in step 2920, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device SG based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control board M side (gameability). Or the jackpot type, etc.). Next, in step 2926, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command is received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2926, in step 2928, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs jackpot end display on the effect display device SG (performs appropriate display based on the jackpot type). Next, in step 2930, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the special gaming flag, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2999). Note that if the result is No in step 2904 or step 2926, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2999).

  Next, FIG. 73 is a flowchart of frame decoration lamp control processing according to the subroutine of step 2950 of FIG. First, in step 2952, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the lighting pattern set timing of the frame decoration lamp 5300 has been reached. As the lighting pattern set timing of the frame decoration lamp 5300, for example, the start timing of symbol variation, various random number lottery execution timing, the initial processing execution timing after power-on of the pachinko gaming machine, and the game has not progressed for a predetermined period of time. The standby state transition timing to be shifted when judged (when the standby state is entered, a standby demonstration effect is executed in the effect display device SG), a predetermined entrance (for example, the first main game start port A10) Entry timing, etc. In the case of Yes in step 2952, in step 2954, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the lighting pattern of the frame decoration lamp 5300, and proceeds to step 2956. Note that if the result in Step 2952 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2956.

  Next, in step 2956, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the control timing of the frame decoration lamp 5300 (timing such as lighting and extinguishing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2956, in step 2958, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs control (lighting, blinking, extinguishing, etc.) of the frame decoration lamp 5300, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2999). . Even in the case of No in step 2956, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2999).

  As described above, when the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is not formed conventionally, a strong electromagnetic wave is emitted near the lamp substrate 5000 and a high voltage signal is applied to the frame decoration lamp 5300 of the lamp substrate 5000. The high voltage signal is supplied to other control boards (for example, the main control board M and the sub control board S) other than the lamp board 5000 via the frame decoration lamp 5300, which may affect other control boards. As described above, the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is formed on the lamp substrate 5000 and electrically connected to the frame ground line FGL via the frame ground circuit pattern connection connector FGC. Even when electromagnetic waves are emitted, the high voltage signal is Flowing to the frame ground line FGL through a down 5100. When the frame ground line FGL is grounded (grounded) outside the gaming machine casing, the high voltage signal is grounded (grounded) outside the gaming machine casing. In this way, even when electromagnetic waves are emitted near the frame decoration lamp 5300, inflow to other control boards (for example, the main control board M and the sub control board S) can be prevented.

  The lamp substrate 5000 is provided with not only a plurality of light emitting elements (a plurality of LEDs) and a frame decoration lamp driver DR, but also other control ICs, circuit patterns of other control ICs, and the like. Also good. In this case, it is preferable that the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is formed on the outer periphery than other control ICs, circuit patterns of other control ICs, and the like. The frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is preferably formed electrically independent of other control ICs other than the frame ground circuit pattern 5100, circuit patterns of other control ICs, and the like.

  With this arrangement, even if the player touches the frame decoration portion VC (for example, the decorative cover member RVC10, 20) and the high voltage signal flows into the lamp board 5000, the high voltage signal is It flows to the circuit pattern 5100 for the frame ground and does not affect other control ICs or other circuit patterns. In this case, other control ICs and circuit patterns of the other control ICs are grounded (grounded) inside the housing of the gaming machine.

  By the way, in this example, since the circuit pattern for frame ground is formed over the outer periphery of the lamp substrate 5000, the wiring length becomes relatively long. In some cases, this circuit pattern has the role of an antenna and is more than necessary. There is a risk of noise entering the gaming machine. Therefore, the wiring length of the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 is preferably a wiring length that is hardly affected by the wavelength (λ) of the 144 Mz band and / or the wavelength (λ) of the 2.45 GHz band in the frequency band. More specifically, it is preferable to set the wiring length so as not to be a fractional value (λ / 2, λ / 4, λ / 8) of the wavelength (λ) in the 144 Mz band and / or the wavelength (λ) in the 2.45 GHz band. .

  For example, when the 2.45 GHz band is taken as an example, it can be calculated by wavelength (λ) = light velocity c (m / s) / frequency (f). When c = 299, 792, 458 and f = 2, 450,000,000 (Hz), the wavelength (λ) is 122.36 (mm). In this case, the wiring length at 1 / 2λ is 61.18 (mm), the wiring length at 1 / 4λ is 30.59, and the wiring length at 1 / 8λ is 15.30. Therefore, it is preferable that the wiring length of the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 does not become these wiring lengths.

  When the control IC arranged on the lamp substrate 5000 and the circuit pattern of the control IC are formed not only on one side but also on both sides, the frame ground is arranged so as to face each other through the resin base material of the lamp substrate 5000 described above. Each of the circuit patterns 5100 may be formed.

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the player touches the frame decoration portion VC (for example, the decorative cover member RVC10, 20), thereby the frame decoration lamp 5300. Even when an electromagnetic wave is generated near the lamp substrate 5000, the high voltage signal flows through the frame ground circuit pattern 5100 to the frame ground line FGL. For this reason, when the frame ground line FGL is grounded (grounded) outside the housing, a high voltage signal can flow outside the housing of the gaming machine. When the frame ground line FGL is not grounded (earthed) outside the housing, the high voltage signal is attenuated by the noise countermeasure protector 6200. As described above, even when the player touches the decorative cover members RVC10 and 20 and electromagnetic waves are emitted near the frame decorative lamp 5300 and the lamp board 5000, the main control board M and the sub-control board. Inflow to S and the like can be prevented, and the contents of the game on the main control board M and the contents of the effects on the sub control board S can be prevented from being affected.

  As described above, various decorative cover members (so-called lenses or the like) are arranged so as to cover the lamp substrate in the gaming machines such as the pachinko gaming machine and the revolving type gaming machine P in order to enhance the production effect. Sometimes. Covering with such a decorative cover member makes it easy to structurally protect the lamp substrate. However, the decorative cover member that is also expected to produce effects including the decorative cover member has various shapes, patterns, and colors. For this reason, depending on the form of the decorative cover member, the distance from the lamp substrate may have to be shortened. For example, a decorative cover member DC in which a plurality of protrusions protruding toward the player are juxtaposed is also assumed. In such a decorative cover member DC, the plurality of protrusions are spaced apart from each other, and a gap is formed between adjacent protrusions. The area where the protrusions are formed can ensure a distance from the lamp substrate. On the other hand, since the gap area in which the gap is formed has a structure in which it is difficult to secure a distance from the lamp board, the player can place the player's hand etc. through the gap area. It becomes possible to approach. For this reason, when a strong electromagnetic wave is emitted at a position close to the lamp substrate such as the gap region, a high voltage signal is supplied to the main control board M, the sub control board S, etc. via the lamp board by the emitted electromagnetic wave. In some cases, the main control board M, the sub control board S, and the like may be affected. Furthermore, not only the lamp substrate but also a substrate disposed near the player is similarly susceptible to external electromagnetic waves. For this reason, it is preferable to provide means for making the substrate placed near the player less susceptible to the influence of electromagnetic waves emitted from the outside of the gaming machine. Even in such a case, by providing the circuit pattern for the frame ground on the lamp board layer as in this example, the lamp board can be made less susceptible to the influence of electromagnetic waves emitted from the outside of the gaming machine. can do.
