  A mode for carrying out a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below based on examples.

  First, the overall configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 1 that is an example of a gaming machine will be described. In the following description, the front side of FIG. 1 will be described as the front (front, front) side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the back side will be described as the rear (back) side. In the present embodiment, the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is an opposing surface that faces the player when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the player side. In the description of each step of the flowchart, for example, a portion described as “step S1” may be abbreviated as “S1”. In this embodiment, “execution” and “execution” are synonymous.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment and shows an arrangement layout of main members. Pachinko gaming machines (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as gaming machines) 1 are roughly divided into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface, and a gaming machine frame (base frame) for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. 3. A game area 10 having a substantially circular shape in front view surrounded by the guide rails 2b is formed in the game board 2. In this game area 10, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a ball striking device (not shown) and driven. Further, the gaming machine frame 3 is provided with a glass door frame 50 having a glass window 50a so as to be rotatable around the left side, and the gaming area 10 can be opened and closed by the glass door frame 50. When the glass door frame 50 is closed, the game area 10 can be seen through the glass window 50a.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 2 is formed of a synthetic resin material having translucency such as acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, methacrylic resin, etc., in a substantially square shape when viewed from the front. (Not shown), a panel board 200 (see FIG. 4) provided with a guide rail 2b and the like, and a spacer member 250 (see FIG. 4) attached integrally to the back side of the panel board. Yes. In addition, the game board 2 may be comprised with the plywood board.

  A first special symbol display 4A and a second special symbol display 4B are provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area). Each of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B is composed of, for example, 7-segment or dot matrix LEDs (light-emitting diodes). Special symbols (also referred to as “special graphics”), which are a plurality of types of identification information (special identification information) that can be identified, are displayed so as to be variable (also referred to as variable display or variable display). Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol indicator 4B is "second special symbol". Also called.

  An effect display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area of the game board 2. The effect display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the effect display device 5, for example, there are three corresponding to the variable display of the first special symbol by the first special symbol display 4A and the variable display of the second special symbol by the second special symbol display 4B. In the effect symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display parts, the effect symbols (also referred to as decorative symbols), which are a plurality of types of identification information (decoration identification information) that can be identified, are variably displayed. This variation display of the effect symbol is also included in the variation display game.

  As an example, in the display area of the effect display device 5, “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are arranged. Then, in response to the start of one of the variation of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 4A and the variation of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 4B, “Left Variation of the effect symbols (for example, scroll display in the vertical direction) is started in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of “middle” and “right”. Thereafter, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, the confirmed effect symbols (final stop symbols) are stopped and displayed.

  As described above, in the display area of the effect display device 5, the special game using the first special figure on the first special symbol display 4A or the second special figure on the second special symbol display 4B is used. In synchronism with the special figure game, a plurality of types of effect symbols that can be identified are displayed in a variable manner, and a definite effect symbol is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”). Note that the variable display may be temporarily stopped during the dynamic display of the effect symbol.

  From the start of the variation display of the effect symbols, until the finalized effect symbols are derived and displayed, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, or the effect symbols In at least one of the display areas 5L, 5C, 5R (for example, the “left” effect symbol display area 5L, etc.), for example, the symbols are sequentially flowed from the top to the bottom from the smallest to the largest. When the effect display with the maximum symbol number (for example, “8”) is displayed, the effect symbol with the minimum symbol number (for example, “1”) is displayed.

  A first reserved memory display area 5D and a second reserved memory display area 5U are set in two places on the left and right of the display area of the effect display device 5. In the first hold memory display area 5D and the second hold memory display area 5U, the hold memory display for displaying the variable hold memory number (the special figure hold memory number) corresponding to the special figure game is specified.

  Here, the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the special game is that the game ball passes through the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Generated based on the start winning by entering (entering). In other words, the start condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing the variable display game such as the special figure game or the variable display of the effect symbol is established, but the variable display game based on the start condition established previously is being executed. When the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Done. In this embodiment, the stored storage display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) through the first start winning opening or the second starting winning opening is a round white display. In the following description, the display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U may be collectively referred to as hold display.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first hold for displaying the number of special figure hold memories in an identifiable manner on the upper and lower parts of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B together with the hold storage display area. A display 25A and a second hold display 25B are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The variable display holding memory number obtained by adding the first special figure holding memory number and the second special figure holding memory number is also referred to as a total holding memory number.

  Below the effect display device 5, an ordinary winning ball device 6A and an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The normal winning ball device 6A forms a first start winning opening that is always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. The normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B has a movable plate that changes the second start winning opening between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory shown in FIG.

  As an example, in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, when the solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory is in a non-detected state, the movable ball protrudes toward the gaming area 10, so that the gaming ball passes through the second start winning opening. It becomes a closed state that is difficult to enter. When the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric accessory is in the detection state, the movable plate retreats to the back side of the game board 2 so that the game ball is easily opened (entered) through the second start winning opening. In the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even when in the closed state, the possibility that the game ball will enter is lower than that in the open state. You may comprise as follows. As described above, the second start winning opening changes between an open state in which a game ball easily passes (enters) and an open state in which the game ball hardly passes (enters) or cannot pass (enters).

  A game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by, for example, a first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by, for example, the second start opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the first special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 "), the first start condition is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port 22B, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 "), the second start condition is satisfied.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 for the large winning opening shown in FIG. 2, and a predetermined region that is changed between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. As a big prize opening.

  As an example, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door is in a non-detected state, the big winning opening door closes the big winning opening, and the game ball passes through the big winning opening (entrance) ) I can't do it. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door is in the detection state, the big winning opening door opens the big winning opening and the game ball passes through the big winning opening (entrance) ).

  The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a ROM 101 (Read only Memory 101) for storing a game control program, fixed data, and the like, and a game control work. A RAM 102 (Random Access Memory 102) that provides an area, a CPU 103 (Central Processing Unit 103) that executes a control program by executing a game control program, and updates numeric data indicating a random number value independently of the CPU 103 It comprises a random number circuit 104 that performs and an I / O 105 (Input / Outputport 105).

  As an example, in the game control microcomputer 100, various processes for controlling the progress of the game are executed by the CPU 103 executing the program read from the ROM 101.

  In the main board 11, various random number values such as a random value MR1 for determining a special figure display result, a random value MR2 for determining a jackpot type, a random value MR3 for determining a variation pattern, a random value MR4 for determining a normal figure display result, etc. Numerical data is controlled to be countable. The random number circuit 104 only needs to be able to count numerical data indicating some or all of these random number values MR1 to MR4. For the random number values that are not counted by the random number circuit 104, the CPU 103 performs various types of software by software. It is only necessary to count by updating the numerical data.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance. Specifically, in the present embodiment, among the cases where the variation display result is “out of”, corresponding to each of the case where the variation display mode of the production symbol is “non-reach” and “reach”, A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the variation display result is “big hit”.

  The reach effect of normal reach is executed for the jackpot variation pattern, which is a variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “big hit”, and the reach variation pattern when the variation display mode of the effect design is “reach”. There are a normal reach fluctuation pattern and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which a reach expression of super reach such as super reach α and super reach β is executed. In this embodiment, only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach α, normal reach β,... The normal reach fluctuation pattern may be provided. Also, in the super reach variation pattern, three or more super reach variation patterns such as super reach γ... In addition to super reach α and super reach β may be provided.

  The special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in the present embodiment is set shorter than the super reach α and super reach β that are the super reach fluctuation patterns. In addition, regarding the special figure variation time of the super reach variation pattern in which super reach reach production such as super reach α and super reach β in this embodiment is performed, the variation pattern in which super reach β super reach production is performed. However, the special figure variation time is set longer than the variation pattern in which the super reach production of the super reach α is executed.

  In this embodiment, since the big hit expectation (big hit reliability) that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” is set in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, the normal reach fluctuation pattern and In the super reach variation pattern, the longer the variation time, the higher the jackpot expectation (hit hit reliability). Further, in this embodiment, when a big hit is made, the reach state is always set and any one of the super reach β, the super reach α, and the normal reach is executed, but the present invention is limited to this. It may be a big hit even with a non-reach fluctuation pattern.

  In addition to the game control program, the ROM 101 included in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 stores various selection data and table data used for controlling the progress of the game. . For example, the ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables and setting tables prepared in advance for the CPU 103 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings. Further, the ROM 101 includes table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 103 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the main board 11 and a variation pattern table storing a plurality of types of variation patterns. Table data to be stored is stored.

  The display result determination table stored in the ROM 101 displays the fluctuation display result as “big hit” before the fixed special symbol is derived and displayed in the special symbol game of the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B. Is a table that is referred to in order to determine whether or not to control to the big hit gaming state based on the random value MR1.

  In the display result determination table of the present embodiment, a numerical value (compared to the random value MR1 depending on whether the gaming state is the normal state, the short time state (low probability state), or the probability variation state (high probability state) ( (Judgment value) is assigned to the special figure display result of “big hit” or “out of place”.

  In the display result determination table, determination data is assigned to a determination result as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state with the special figure display result as “big hit”. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the probability variation state (high probability state), more judgment values than the normal state or the short time state (low probability state) are characteristic of “big hit”. Assigned to diagram display results. With this, in the probability variation state (high probability state) in which probability variation control is performed, the probability that the special figure display result will be determined to be “big hit” and controlled to the big hit gaming state in the normal state or the short time state (low probability state) Compared to (about 1/300 in the present embodiment), the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be “big hit” and controlled to the big hit gaming state becomes higher (about 1/30 in the present embodiment). That is, in the display result determination table, when the gaming state is a probability change state (high probability state), the probability that it is determined to control to the big hit gaming state is higher than when the gaming state is a normal state or a short time state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the big hit gaming state.

  In the ROM 101, when it is determined to control the jackpot gaming state, the jackpot type determination table referred to for determining one of a plurality of jackpot types based on the random number value MR2 and the random value MR3 are stored. A variation pattern determination table for determining the variation pattern as one of the variation patterns described above is also stored.

  As a setting example, the allocation of the judgment value to the big hit types of “probability variation big hit A” and “probability big hit B” differs depending on whether the variation special chart is the first special chart or the second special chart. That is, when the fluctuation special chart is the second special figure, there is no allocation to the big hit type of “probability big hit B” with a small number of rounds, and “probability big hit B” does not occur in the fluctuation display of the second special figure. Therefore, the number of prize balls obtained is small in the gaming state in which the game balls are likely to enter the second starting prize opening formed by the normally variable prize-winning ball apparatus 6B by the high opening control accompanying the time reduction control. "Can be prevented from occurring frequently, resulting in a decrease in entertainment interest.

  The variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 101 is preliminarily determined to be “out of” with the variation pattern determination table for jackpot used when “big hit” is determined in advance. A variation pattern determination table for loss that is sometimes used is prepared in advance. In the present embodiment, the reach fluctuation pattern is more easily determined when the big hit is made than the loss, and the possibility (reliability or expectation degree) that the big hit occurs when the reach occurs. In addition, even if the fluctuation pattern is the same reach, there is a higher probability (reliability and expectation) of super reach than normal reach, and even if the same super reach, the fluctuation pattern of super reach β The decision value corresponding to each variation pattern is set in the variation pattern determination table for deviation from the variation pattern determination table for big hits, so that the probability of the probability variation is large (reliability and expectation). Yes.

  The variation pattern determination table for loss includes a plurality of tables corresponding to the total number of reserved memories and the short time state, and the total number of reserved memories corresponds to 2 to 4 according to the number of reserved memories and the short time state. Short non-reach shift variation pattern (PA1-2), short non-reach shift variation pattern (PA1-3) corresponding to a total number of pending storages of 5 to 8, and short non-reach shift variation pattern By determining (PA1-4) according to the total number of reserved memories and the gaming state (short time state), the larger the total number of reserved memories, the easier the short variation pattern is executed, that is, the fluctuation per unit time By increasing the number of times, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of useless start winnings, and during non-time control (during short-time state), the non-reach deviation of the shortening changes more than when the time control is not executed. Pattern (PA1-4) that is often determined by increasing the number of times of the change per unit time, can reduce the time to the next jackpot, and to be able to improve the extended game player's sense of.

  The RAM 102 included in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 may be a backup RAM that is partially or entirely backed up by a backup power source from a predetermined power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 102 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). When the power is turned on again, the game state, that is, data corresponding to the control state of the game control means (special process flag, etc.) and data indicating the progress state of the game such as data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are taken over. do it.

  In such a RAM 102, a game control data holding area (not shown) is provided as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game. In the game control data holding area, a first winning prize (first starting prize) is generated by a game ball passing (entering) through a first starting prize opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A, but has not started yet. The first special figure storage unit for storing the random number value MR1, the random number value MR2, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3, and the like and the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 6B are formed as the holding data of the special figure game using the special figure. Random value MR1 is used as the hold data for the special figure game using the second special figure which has been started (second start prize) but has not yet started although the game ball has passed (entered) the second starting prize opening. The state can be updated in accordance with the progress status of the game such as the second special figure reservation storage unit for storing numerical data indicating the random value MR2 and the random value MR3, the general figure reservation storage unit, the special process flag, etc. Multiple types of flags The game control flag setting unit, the game control timer setting unit provided with various timers used for controlling the progress of the game, and the count value used for controlling the progress of the game are counted.

  As an example, in the effect control board 12, when the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect control program read from the ROM 121, various processes for controlling the effect operation by the effect electric parts are executed. For example, as a process for controlling the effect operations, the effect control CPU 120 receives an input of various signals from the outside of the effect control board 12 via the I / O 125, and the effect control CPU 120 via the I / O 125. Then, transmission processing for outputting various signals to the outside of the effect control board 12 is also performed.

  Note that, on the side of the effect control board 12, as with the main board 11, for example, various random values (also referred to as effect random numbers) are set for determining the execution or non-execution of various effects and the type of effects. Has been. In addition to the program for effect control, the ROM 121 includes frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C, board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C of the first effect device 300, a movable body 401 and a third effect device 400 of the second effect device 400.

The table data which comprises, the pattern data which comprises the presentation control pattern corresponding to each variation pattern, etc. are memorize | stored.

  Among the effect control patterns, the effect control pattern at the time of special symbol variation displays the variation of the effect symbol during the period from the start of the variation of the special symbol until the finalized special symbol is derived and displayed corresponding to each variation pattern. Operation and operation of each movable body (frame side production bodies 301B and 301C, board side production bodies 311B and 311C of the first production device 300, movable body 401 of the second production device 400, and movable body 501 of the third production device 500) It consists of data indicating the contents of control of various effects such as reach effects.

  The RAM 122 is provided with an effect control data holding area (not shown), for example, as an area for holding various data used for controlling the effect operation. The effect control data holding area includes an effect control flag setting unit provided with a plurality of types of flags that can be updated according to the effect operation state, the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11, and the like, and various effect operations. An effect control timer setting unit and an effect control counter setting unit provided with a plurality of types of timers and counters used for controlling the progress of the image, and data used for controlling the progress of various effect operations are temporarily stored. And an effect control buffer setting unit in which various buffers for storage are provided.

  In the present embodiment, the storage area (buffer number “1-1”) corresponding to the maximum value (for example, “4”) of the total reserved memory number of the first special figure reserved memory is stored in the predetermined area of the production control buffer setting unit. To "1-4") and storage areas (buffer numbers "2-1" to "2-" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total reserved memory number of the second special figure reserved memory). 4 ”is provided, and data constituting a pending storage buffer capable of specifying the status of the pending storage at that time is stored, and the first pending storage display is based on the data in the pending storage buffer. The hold display of the area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U is displayed.

  The effect control board 12 is for the second movable body that drives the frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C of the first effect device 300 as the movable body, and the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400. A motor 410 and a third movable body motor 510 for driving the movable body 501 of the third rendering device 500 are connected, and the frame-side rendering bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side rendering bodies 311B and 311C of the first rendering device 300 are connected. The operations of the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400 and the movable body 501 of the third effect device 500 are controlled by the effect control board 12 (effect control CPU 120).

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 can execute various effects related to the game, such as effect display variable display control and notice effect based on the effect control command (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100. ing. The notice control effect executed by the effect control CPU 120 during the display of fluctuation of the effect symbol includes, for example, a jackpot notice effect (including a reach effect, a super reach effect, etc.) that suggests the possibility of a big hit, and whether or not to become a reach. At the start of change display or when reach is established, such as a reach notice to suggest, a stop pattern notice to notify the stop pattern, a latent notice to notify whether the gaming state is a probability fluctuation state (whether or not it is latent) Including multiple notices executed in Then, the CPU 120 for effect control includes the movable bodies (the frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C, the board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C of the first effect device 300, and the movable object of the second effect device 400 in various effects including the notice effect. 401 and the movable body effect of operating the movable body 501 of the third effect device 500 from the origin position (the first position or the like) to the effect position (the third position or the second position) can be executed.

The movable body 501 of the third effect device 500 has a circular shape when viewed from the front, and the predetermined pattern has no particular top and bottom, whereas it is an origin detection target character having an origin detection sensor. The origin position is not provided because it does not move from a predetermined position only by rotating around the rotation axis. Therefore, the origin detection non-target object does not have an origin detection sensor for detecting the origin position.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. In the main board 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes a predetermined process as a game control main process. When the game control main process is started, the CPU 103 performs necessary initial settings after setting the interrupt disabled. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Also, register setting of a CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. Thereby, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When the initial setting is completed, an interrupt is permitted and then loop processing is started. In the game control main process, a process for returning the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop may be executed before entering the loop process.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, it executes a game control timer interrupt process. When the game control timer interrupt process is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, thereby causing the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, and the count through the switch circuit 110. The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as the switch 23 is determined (S11). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and if necessary, warning can be generated according to the diagnosis result (S12). Thereafter, predetermined information output processing is executed (S13).

  Next, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers such as the random number values MR1 to MR4 by software is executed (S14). Thereafter, special symbol process processing is executed (S15).

  Subsequent to the special symbol process, the display operation on the normal symbol display 20 (for example, turning on / off the segment LED) is controlled to display the variation of the normal symbol and the tilt of the movable wing piece of the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Normal symbol process processing for performing operation setting and the like is executed (S16). Thereafter, by executing a command control process, a control command is transmitted (output) from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 (S17).

  In this special symbol process, first, a start winning determination process is executed (S21). Then, according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit, one of the processes of S22 to S29 is selected and executed.

  In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether or not there is a first start prize or a second start prize by the first start port switch 22A or the second start port switch 22B, and if there is a win, a random value MR1, MR2 and MR3 are extracted and stored in the top position of the empty entry in the first special figure holding storage section when the first starting prize is received, and the second special figure is reserved when the second starting prize is obtained. Store at the top of the empty entry in the storage.

  The special symbol normal process of S22 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “0”. In the special symbol normal process, it is determined whether or not to start the special symbol game based on the presence / absence of pending data. Further, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1, whether or not the variation display result is “big hit” is determined (predetermined) before the variation display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, a confirmed special symbol (either a big hit symbol or a missing symbol) is set corresponding to the variation display result. Then, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “1”.

  The variation pattern setting process of S23 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. The variation pattern setting process includes a process of determining a variation pattern as one of a plurality of types using numerical data indicating the random value MR3 based on a result of prior determination as to whether or not the variation display result is “big hit”. It is included. Then, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “2”.

  The special symbol variation process of S24 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. The special symbol variation process includes a process for setting the special symbol on the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and an elapsed time after the special symbol starts variation. It includes processing to measure When the special symbol variation elapsed time reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “3”.

  The special symbol stop process of S25 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. The special symbol stop process includes a process for performing a setting for stopping and displaying (deriving) a fixed special symbol that is a variation display result of the special symbol on the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B. It is. Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is on. If the big hit flag is on, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “4”. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit release pre-processing of S26 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. The pre-opening process for the big hit includes a process for starting the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and setting the big winning opening to the open state based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “big hit”. include. Specifically, the upper limit of the period during which the winning a prize opening is in the open state is set to “29 seconds”, and the opening number of the winning a prize opening which is the upper limit number of times for executing the round is set to “non-probable big hit” or “probable change”. If it is a “big hit A”, it is set to “16 times”. On the other hand, when the big hit type is “probability big hit B”, the number of times of opening of the big winning opening that is the upper limit number of times to execute the round is set to “5 times”. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”.

  The big hit release process of S27 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. In the big hit opening process, the winning prize opening is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is in the open state, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. The process etc. which determine whether it became the timing which returns to a closed state from an open state are included. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, after performing processing for stopping the supply of the solenoid driving signal to the special winning opening door solenoid 82, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “6”. .

  The big hit release post-processing in S28 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this post-hit opening process, the process of determining whether or not the number of rounds in which the winning opening is in the open state has reached the maximum number of opening of the big winning opening, or the maximum number of opening of the big winning opening has been reached. In some cases, processing for setting to transmit a jackpot end designation command is included. When the number of round executions has not reached the maximum value of the number of times of winning the special winning opening, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”. The value of the process flag is updated to “7”.

  The big hit end processing of S29 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. The jackpot end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending effect for notifying the end of the jackpot gaming state is executed. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  In the big hit end process, the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit is read, and whether the big hit type is “non-probable big hit”, “probable big hit A”, or “probable big hit B”. Identify. If it is determined that the identified big hit type is not “non-probable variation big hit”, setting for starting the probability variation control (setting of the probability variation flag) is performed.

  In addition, when the specified big hit type is “non-probable variable big hit”, the setting for starting the time reduction control (in advance corresponding to the setting of the time reduction flag and the upper limit value of the special game that can be executed during the time reduction control). A predetermined count initial value (“100” in the present embodiment) is set in the short-time counter.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, when the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process shown in FIG. In the main process, first, a first initialization process (S50) for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining an activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) The origin positions of the movable bodies (the frame-side presentation bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side presentation bodies 311B and 311C of the first presentation device 300, the movable body 401 of the second presentation device 400, and the movable body 501 of the third presentation device 500). A second initialization process is performed for returning to step S4 and checking the operation (S51).

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When the timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag by the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set (turned on) in the main process, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53) and executes the following process.

  The effect control CPU 120 first performs command analysis processing (S54). In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 5) is the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the reception command buffer. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal and stored in a buffer area formed in the RAM. And the process etc. which set the flag according to the received production control command are performed.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and display control of the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Next, after performing the effect random number update process for updating the counter value for generating the effect random number such as the jackpot symbol determination random number (S56), the sub-side error process (S57) is performed, The process proceeds to S52.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the second initialization process (S51) of this embodiment. In the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies a movable body to be operated first based on the setting data (S101). The setting data includes order data of movable bodies. In this embodiment, the order of the first effect device 300 → the second effect device 400 → the third effect device 500 is preset as the order. Since the first effect device 300 has a plurality of movable bodies (frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C and board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C), the frame-side effect body 301B → the frame-side effect body 301C → the board side. The order of production body 311B → board side production body 311C → movable body 401 → movable body 501 is preset. Therefore, when S101 is executed for the first time, the frame-side effect body 301B of the first effect device 300 is specified as the target movable body. The operation order is arbitrary and can be variously changed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the movable body specified in S101 is an origin detection target movable body that requires origin detection (S102).

  In the present embodiment, as the origin detection target movable body that needs to perform the origin detection, the first effect device 300 including the frame side effector position sensors 330A to 330E and the board side effector position sensors 340A to 340E, The movable body 501 of the third rendering device 500 having the second rendering device 400 having the second movable body position sensor 420 and not having the origin detection sensor is not applicable. Therefore, when the movable body specified in S101 is one of the frame-side presentation bodies 301B and 301C, the board-side presentation bodies 311B and 311C of the first presentation device 300, and the movable body 401 of the second presentation device 400, While it is determined as “Y” in the determination, when the movable body specified in S101 is the third effect device 500, it is determined as “N”.

  When it is determined “N” in S102, the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, if “Y” is determined in S102, the process proceeds to S103, the detection state of the origin detection sensor corresponding to the movable body to be operated is specified (S103), and whether the origin detection sensor is in the detection state or not. That is, it is determined whether or not the target movable body is located at the origin position (initial position) (S104).

  If it is not at the origin position (initial position) (S104; N), the process proceeds to S105, and after setting the non-detection operation count counter to 0 to count the number of executions of non-detection operation control (S105) As a control speed for operating the operation target movable body, the operation target is the same operation speed as the minimum speed (see FIGS. 8 and 9) in the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) described later. A minimum control speed for operating the movable body is set (S106), and if the operation target movable body is the first rendering device 300, for example, the motion target movable body motor 310A, 310B. And the board side effector motors 320A and 320B are started to drive in the origin position direction. For example, if the operation target movable body is the second effect device 400, the second movable body motor 410 is moved to the origin position direction. Driving start with (S107), it starts the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer (S108). The non-detection operation period timer may be counted by, for example, counting the number of signals output at regular intervals from the CTC initialized by the first initialization process. .

  Then, a transition is made to a monitoring state in which the origin detection sensor enters a detection state and monitors whether or not the non-detection operation period timer has reached a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S109, S110).

  The operation target movable body is moved to the origin position (initial position) by driving the drive apparatus for the operation target movable body (for example, the frame side effector motors 310A and 310B and the board side effector motors 320A and 320B) in the origin position direction. ) And the origin detection sensor enters the detection state, the drive of the drive motor is stopped and the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, when the non-detection operation period timer becomes a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, when the operation target movable body is not located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S112 is performed. Then, 1 is added to the non-detection operation number counter (S112), and it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3). (S113).

  If the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S113, the drive motor is stopped and the operation error (origin return error) of the operation target movable body is stored (S114). The process proceeds to S130. That is, when the operation target movable body is not located at the origin position (initial position) in the non-detection operation control, the operation control for actual operation confirmation described later is not executed for the operation target movable body ( The operation error is stored in order to set the operation target movable body to the dead end state, and the process proceeds to S130.

  In this embodiment, when the value of the non-detection operation frequency counter reaches the operation error determination number in S113, the operation target movable body is illustrated as being in a dead end state. When the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number in S113, the initialization error process is started, and the initialization error process is executed, whereby 2 By interrupting the initialization process, the effect control main process may be interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 (effect control CPU 120, etc.) may not be activated (dead end state). .

  When the operation target movable body is set to the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) is activated, but for example, the effect control CPU 120 is an input signal (for example, indicating that the movable object is operated). It is preferable to execute a process of invalidating reception of a detection signal (such as a production button) or preventing the operation target movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, if the value of the non-detection operation number counter has not reached the number of operation error determinations, the drive motor is stopped, the process returns to S106, and the processes of S106 to S108 are performed again to move the operation target. The operation of moving the body to the origin position at the lowest speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) (non-detection operation control) is started, and the monitoring state of S109 and S110 described above is entered. .

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S110 that the error determination time has elapsed, the operation (moving control at the time of non-detection) is performed to repeatedly move the movable object to be moved to the origin position (initial position) until the operation error determination count is reached. If the operation target movable body is detected at the origin position (initial position) during the operation, the process proceeds to S130 without proceeding to S114.

  On the other hand, if “Y” is determined in S104 and the process proceeds to S120, 0 is set in the operation count counter at detection, and then the operation process data at detection is set (S121a). The timer count is started (S121b). As the timer count of the detection process timer, the signal output at regular intervals from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process is the same as the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer described above. This may be done by counting the number or the like. Further, in the detection operation process data of the present embodiment, as a control speed for operating the movable object to be operated, a minimum speed (actual operation check operation control (long initialization operation control) described later (FIG. 8, FIG. 8) 9), the minimum control speed for operating the movable object to be operated is described (set).

  Next, the operation target movable body is operated based on the minimum control speed set in the set detection-time operation process data (S122), and it is determined whether or not the process data is completed (S123). If not completed, the process returns to S122, and the operation target movable body is operated based on the minimum control speed set in the operation process data at the time of detection.

  In this way, in the detection operation control, until the detection operation process data is completed, the minimum speed based on the minimum control speed set in the detection operation process data, that is, the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initial At the lowest speed in the control operation), an operation of once leaving the origin position (initial position) and returning from the position away from the origin position (initial position) to the origin position (initial position) is performed (see FIG. 8). The position away from the origin position is a position in the vicinity of the origin position, that is, a position where the detected part of each movable body cannot be detected by each origin sensor, and is a predetermined position (detection) closer to the origin position than each effect position. Hour operating position).

  If it is determined in S123 that the set operation process data at the time of detection is completed, the driving of the movable accessory drive motor is stopped and the process proceeds to S124, and the origin detection sensor is in the detection state. It is determined (confirmed) whether or not the operation target movable body is located at the origin position (initial position).

  If the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, if the operation target movable body is located at the origin position (initial position), the process proceeds to S130.

  On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the operation target movable body is not located at the origin position (initial position), 1 is added to the operation count counter during detection (S126). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the detection-time operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3) (S127). When the value of the operation number counter at the time of detection reaches the number of operation error determinations, the process proceeds to S128 to store the operation error of the movable object to be operated (S128), and the process proceeds to S130. That is, when the operation target movable body is not located at the origin position (initial position) in the operation control at the time of detection, the operation control for actual operation confirmation to be described later is not executed for the operation target movable body (the operation concerned) The operation error is stored in order to set the target movable body to the dead end state, and the process proceeds to S130.

  In the present embodiment, the mode in which the operation target movable body is set to the dead end state when the value of the operation count counter at the time of detection reaches the number of operation error determinations in S127 is exemplified. Without being limited thereto, when the value of the detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S113, the initialization error process is started, and the initialization error process is executed, whereby the second initial The production control main process may be interrupted without proceeding to S52 and the production control board 12 may be in a non-activated state (a dead end state).

  Also, when the operation target movable body is set to the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) is activated, but for example, the effect control CPU 120 is configured to input an input signal (for example, an effect button). It is preferable to execute a process of invalidating the reception of the detection signal or the like, or preventing the operation target movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  In S130, which is executed when “N” is determined in S102, “Y” is determined in S109, or “Y” is determined in S124, the movable body is not yet an operation target. It is determined whether or not there is a remaining movable body, and when there is no remaining movable body (specifically, when the operation target movable body is the third effect device 500), the actual operation shown in FIG. The processing shifts to processing for performing operation control for operation confirmation. On the other hand, if there are remaining movable bodies, the process proceeds to S131, the movable body to be operated next is specified, then the process returns to S102, and the above-described processing from S102 is performed on the identified movable object. Do the same.

  In addition, when S131 is performed when the operation target movable body is the frame side effect body 301B of the first effect device 300, the frame side effect body 301C of the first effect device 300 is the operation object based on the setting data. When S131 is performed when the movable body is specified and the operation target movable body is the frame side presentation body 301C of the first presentation device 300, the board side presentation body 311B of the first presentation device 300 is movable. In the case where S131 is executed when the action target movable body is the board-side presentation body 311B of the first presentation device 300, the board-side presentation body 311C of the first presentation device 300 is based on the setting data. Is specified as the operation target movable body, and when S131 is executed when the operation target movable body is the board-side presentation body 311C of the first presentation device 300, the second presentation is performed based on the setting data. When the movable body 401 of the device 400 is specified as the movable object for operation and the movable object for operation is the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400, when S131 is executed, the movable object of the third effect device 500 501 is specified as the movable object to be operated.

  Next, the processing shown in FIG. 7 will be described. First, in S200 shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 120 for effect control first checks the operation based on the setting data (movable object to be checked) based on the setting data as in S101 described above. Is identified (S200). Next, it is determined whether or not there is an operation error storage of the target movable body (S201).

  If there is a storage of the operation error of the movable body to be confirmed, the process proceeds to S220 without executing the processes from S202a to S213. In this way, in this embodiment, the operation control for actual operation confirmation is not performed for the movable body that is determined to be an operation error in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control.

  On the other hand, when there is no memory of the operation error of the confirmation target movable body, the process proceeds to S202a, where process data for actual operation confirmation corresponding to the confirmation target movable body is set. That is, if the confirmation target movable body is the first effect device 300 (the frame-side effect members 301B and 301C and the board-side effect members 311B and 311C), the process data for confirming the actual operation of the first effect device 300 is set and confirmed. If the target movable body is the second effect device 400 (movable body 401), the process data for actual operation confirmation of the second effect device 400 is set, and the confirmation target movable body is the third effect device 500 (movable body 501). If there is, process data for actual operation confirmation of the third effect device 500 is set. In each actual operation check process data, the control speed and the like are described (set) so that the movable body performs the same operation as the operation actually performed in the movable body presentation in the production.

  Next, the timer count of the process timer for actual operation confirmation is started (S202b). Note that the timer count of the process timer for actual operation confirmation is a signal output at regular intervals from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process, like the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer described above. This may be done by counting the number of

  Then, the movable object to be confirmed is operated at the control speed set corresponding to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer in the set actual operation confirmation process data (S203), and the process data is completed. (S204) If the process data is not completed, the process returns to S203, and the confirmation object movable body is set corresponding to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer at that time. Operate based on the controlled speed.

  As described above, until the actual operation check process data is completed, the confirmation target movable body is operated at the control speed set in the actual operation check process data corresponding to the timer count value of the actual operation check process timer. By doing so, the control speed of the movable body to be confirmed can be sequentially changed in time series, and the same acceleration or deceleration as the control speed set when the movable body is actually operated in the movable body effect can be performed. it can.

  If it is determined in step S204 that the set process data for actual operation confirmation has been completed, the drive motor is stopped, and whether or not the confirmation target movable body is an origin detection target movable body. Is determined (S204a). If the confirmation target movable body is not the origin detection target movable body, that is, if it is the third effect device 500, the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, if the target object is the origin detection target movable body, that is, if it is the first effect device 300 or the second effect device 400, whether or not the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, the operation target movable. It is determined (confirmed) whether or not the body is located at the origin position (initial position) (S205).

  When the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, when the confirmation target movable body is located at the origin position (initial position), the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the confirmation target movable body is not located at the origin position (initial position), the above-described non-detection operation control is performed (see FIG. 6). Steps S206 to S213 are performed in order to position the movable body to be confirmed at the origin position (initial position).

  Specifically, after setting 0 to the non-detection operation frequency counter for counting the number of executions of non-detection operation control (S206), the actual operation check operation control (long initialization operation control) is set as the control speed. The minimum control speed for operating the operation target movable body at the same operation speed as the minimum speed is set (S207), and the confirmation target movable body drive device, for example, if the confirmation target movable body is the first effect device 300, is set. The frame side effector motors 310A and 310B and the board side effector motors 320A and 320B are started to be driven in the direction of the origin position (initial position) (S208), and the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer is started (S208). S209).

  Then, a transition is made to a monitoring state for monitoring whether the origin detection sensor is in a detection state and whether the non-detection operation period timer has a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S210, S211).

  The confirmation target movable body is moved to the origin position by driving the confirmation target movable body drive device (for example, the frame side rendering body motors 310A and 310B and the board side rendering body motors 320A and 320B) in the origin position (initial position) direction. When the origin detection sensor enters the detection state at the (initial position), “Y” is determined in S210, and the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, when the non-detection operation period timer becomes a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, when the confirmation target movable body is not located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S212. Then, 1 is added to the non-detection operation number counter (S212), and it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3). (S213).

  When the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations, the operation error of the operation target movable body is stored (S214), and the actual operation is not executed thereafter for the operation target movable body. And proceed to S220. In this embodiment, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S213, the operation error of the operation target movable body is stored, and the operation target movable body is actually executed thereafter. The operation is not executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. When the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number in S213, the operation target The movable body may be in a dead end state. Alternatively, by starting the initialization error process and executing the initialization error process, the second initialization process is interrupted, whereby the effect control main process is interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 May be in a non-activated state (dead end state).

  Also, when the operation target movable body is set to the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) is activated, but for example, the effect control CPU 120 is configured to input an input signal (for example, an effect button). It is preferable to execute a process of invalidating the reception of the detection signal or the like, or preventing the operation target movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter has not reached the operation error determination number, the process returns to S207, and the processing of S207, S208, and S209 is performed again, and the movable body to be confirmed is confirmed as the actual operation The operation to move to the origin position (initial position) at the lowest speed in the operation control (long initialization operation control) (the operation at the time of returning to the origin) is started, and the process proceeds to the monitoring state of S210 and S211 described above.

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S211 that the error determination time has elapsed, an operation (non-detection operation control) of moving the movable object to be repeatedly checked to the origin position (initial position) is performed until the operation error determination count is reached. If the confirmation target movable body is detected at the origin position (initial position) during the operation, the process proceeds to S220.

  In S220 executed when “Y” is determined in S201, “N” is determined in S204a, “Y” is determined in S205, or “Y” is determined in S210. , It is determined whether or not there are any remaining movable bodies that have not yet been confirmed for operation confirmation, and if there are no remaining movable bodies (specifically, In the case of the 3 effect device 500), the process ends. On the other hand, if there are remaining movable bodies, the process proceeds to S221, the movable body to be checked next is specified, and the process returns to S201. The above-described processing from S201 onward is similarly executed for the identified target object. Note that if an operation error record is stored when there is no remaining movable body in S220, it is cleared when the second initialization process is executed when the power is turned on next time. become.

  Here, the operation mode and control contents of the movable body by executing the second initialization process shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a schematic explanatory diagram illustrating operation modes of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control performed by the effect control CPU 120. 9A is an explanatory diagram showing the control speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control, FIG. 9B is an explanatory diagram showing the control speed in the detection operation control, and FIG. 9C is the control speed in the non-detection operation control. It is explanatory drawing which shows.

  8 and 9, the frame-side effects bodies 301 </ b> B and 301 </ b> C and the board-side effects bodies 311 </ b> B and 311 </ b> C of the first effect device 300, which are origin detection target movable objects, and the movable object 401 of the second effect device 400 are not included. Only the operation control during detection (short initialization operation control), the operation control during detection (short initialization operation control), and the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) will be described. Description of the movable body 501 of the rendering device 500 will be omitted. In addition, the reciprocating operation distance (rotation range) of each of the frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C of the first effect device 300 and the reciprocating operation distance (movement range of the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400). ) Is not the same, but will be described using the same conceptual diagram for convenience of explanation.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the frame-side effects bodies 301B and 301C, the board-side effects bodies 311B and 311C of the first effect device 300, and the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400 are respectively the origin positions (retracted position, initial position). The reciprocating operation from the origin position to the effect position and the return operation from the effect position to the origin position are actually performed in the above-mentioned movable object effect, etc. It is supposed to be an actual operation.

  When the second initialization process is executed, the production control CPU 120 detects that the detected part of the movable body is not detected by the origin detection sensor, that is, the movable body has an origin for some reason (for example, when transported or installed on a game island) If the actuator has moved from its position, or if it cannot return to its original position during the previous operation (for example, when performing a production, the return to origin of the movable body could not be confirmed or operated due to motor step-out, failure, or catching) Corresponding to non-detection operation control in FIG. 8 (for example, when a movable body error (operation abnormality) such as disappearing occurs) or when moving from the origin position due to vibration of a gaming machine) If it is at a predetermined position between the origin position and the production position (such as the position indicated by a black circle), the non-detection operation control for returning to the origin is executed.When the non-detection operation control is executed, the movable body is at a position away from the origin position, and therefore, the operation is only an operation of moving the movable body in the direction of the origin position.

  In addition, when the second initialization process is executed, the production control CPU 120 includes the frame-side production bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side production bodies 311B and 311C of the first production device 300 and the movable body 401 of the second production device 400. When the detected part is detected by the origin detection sensor, the operation control at the time of detection is executed.

  For example, in order to ensure that the detected part is detected by the origin detection sensor, a predetermined period between the time when the detected part is detected by the origin detection sensor and the operation of the movable body in the direction of the origin position is restricted. When an operable range (for example, play) is set, the origin may return and stop at a position shifted further to the back than the position detected by the origin detection sensor. Therefore, even when the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor, the operation control during detection for returning the movable body to the more accurate origin position is performed.

  In this detection operation control, it is necessary to move the movable body to a position away from the origin position and then return it to the origin position in order to temporarily cancel the detection state of the detected part by the origin detection sensor. Since there is no need to move the movable body, the movable body is moved from the origin position to the detection-time operation position in the vicinity of the origin position, and then returned to the origin position. That is, the reciprocating operation is performed at a shorter distance than the actual operation (see FIGS. 12A and 12B).

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control in the second initialization process, and then executes the actual operation confirmation operation control. The operation control for actual operation confirmation is the same operation as the actual operation that the movable body actually performs in various effects. In the present embodiment, the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) performs an operation for a movable effect pattern C described later. Further, in the operation control for actual operation confirmation, each operation of the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C, the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C of the first effect device 300 and the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400 is confirmed. The frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C, the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C, and the movable body 401 are not linked.

  Next, the control speeds set when the performance control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control are compared. The speeds shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 9C are control speeds set by the effect control CPU 120 to operate each movable body, and the actual speed of the movable body. The operating speed is different. That is, for example, when operating a predetermined movable body, even when the same control speed is set for one movement section and another movement section between the origin position and the effect position, one movement section and another movement section When the movement section is different (for example, a section with and without a spring, a straight section and a curved section), or when moving up and down in the same moving section, the movable body is actually operated. In some cases, the operating speed may be different from the control speed. In addition, even if the same control speed is set for the movable body, the actual operation speed of each movable body is not necessarily the same if there is a difference in the size, weight, operation mode, operation distance, drive mechanism, etc. of each movable body. It will not be the same. When operating multiple movable bodies with stepping motors of the same performance, the size, weight, operating mode, operating distance, drive mechanism, etc. of each movable body, even if the same control speed is set for each movable body When there is a difference, the actual operation speed of each movable body is not necessarily the same.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, when performing the actual operation confirmation operation control, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer in the set actual operation confirmation process data. The confirmation target movable body is operated based on the set control speed. Specifically, control is performed such that after acceleration from the origin position, the vehicle is decelerated and stopped at the effect position, and after acceleration from the effect position is decelerated and stopped at the origin position. That is, in the operation control for actual operation confirmation for confirming that each movable body can operate normally, the control speed of the movable body is changed in the order of low speed → high speed → low speed between the origin position and the production position. Let In other words, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the movable body effect of each movable body, the range between the minimum speed (low speed) as the first speed and the maximum speed (high speed) as the second speed faster than the minimum speed. In order to control each movable body to operate at the internal speed, even when the operation control for actual operation confirmation is executed, the minimum speed (low speed) that is the first speed and the second speed that is faster than the minimum speed are used. Control is performed so that each movable body operates at a speed within the range of the maximum speed (high speed).

  That is, the minimum speed as the first speed and the maximum speed as the second speed are actual operating speeds of the movable body, and the control speed is set to be the minimum speed and the maximum speed as the operating speed. Will be. In the following description, it is assumed that when the movable body is operated based on the minimum control speed, it operates at the minimum speed, and when the movable body is operated based on the maximum control speed, it operates at the maximum speed. To do.

  Here, the control speed is set so that the operation speed at the time of acceleration and deceleration of the movable body becomes the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation. In addition, when returning to the origin position after moving to the production position, the movable body can be surely secured by controlling so that it becomes the minimum speed in the action control for actual operation confirmation over a longer time than when stopping at the production position. The detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor after the vehicle is decelerated.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, when performing the motion control at the time of detection, the CPU 120 for effect control always confirms the actual operation in the period for moving from the origin position to the effect position and the period for moving from the effect position to the origin position. The movable body is controlled to operate at the minimum speed (first speed) in the operation control. In other words, the effect control CPU 120 has a maximum speed in the detection-time operation control as the first operation control that is equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control as the second operation control (in this embodiment, the actual operation check). Control to always operate the movable body based on the lowest minimum control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation confirmation operation control.

  In the case of motion control during detection, the moving distance of the movable body is shorter than that for motion control for actual motion check. Check the actual operation because the sensor may not be able to detect the detected part reliably, or the movable body may be damaged due to impact when the movable body returns to the home position from a short distance and the movement is restricted. Control to operate at the lowest speed in operation control.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9C, when performing the non-detection operation control, the effect control CPU 120 always moves from an arbitrary position between the origin position and the effect position to the origin position. Control is performed so as to operate at the minimum speed (first speed) in the operation control for actual operation confirmation. That is, the effect control CPU 120 has a maximum speed (maximum operation speed) in the non-detection operation control as the first operation control that is equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control (this implementation). In the example, the movable body is always operated based on the lowest minimum control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation check operation control so that the same speed as the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control is obtained. Take control.

  In this case, since it is unknown how far the movable body is from the origin position, if the movable body is located near the origin position, the control speed when accelerating in the operation control for actual operation confirmation In other words, when operated at high speed, when the movable body returns to the origin position, the origin detection sensor cannot reliably detect the detected part, or the movable body returns to the origin position from a short distance and the movement is restricted. Since there is a possibility that the movable body or the like may be damaged due to an impact, control is performed so as to operate at the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when performing the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control, the effect control CPU 120 has the minimum control speed set in the actual operation check operation control. Based on this, control is performed so that the movable body always operates at a single (constant) operation speed. These minimum speeds are the minimum speeds in the operation control for actual operation confirmation corresponding to each movable body, and are not the operation speeds common to each movable body. Therefore, the minimum speeds in each movable body may be different.

  Specifically, the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C of the first effect device 300, the board effect elements 311B and 311C, and the movable object 401 of the second effect device 400 are as shown in FIG. Since the operation mode, the operation distance, and the drive mechanism including the drive motor are different, the actual operation speed of the movable body is different even when the same control speed is set. Even when different control speeds are set for the respective movable bodies, the actual operation speed of the movable bodies is different. Thus, the minimum speed is an operation speed based on the control speed set according to each movable body, and a plurality of movable bodies having different modes are controlled in order to perform control so that the movable body operates at the minimum speed. It is possible to reliably detect at the origin position.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S55) of the effect control main process. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first displays the hold memory display in the first hold memory display area 5D and the second hold memory display area 5U of the effect display device 5 in accordance with the stored contents of the hold memory buffer. A pending display update process for updating to display is executed (S72).

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 performs any one of S73 to S79 according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  Fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73): It is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern designation command is received from the game control microcomputer 100. Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern designation command is received in the command analysis process. If the change pattern designation command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol change start process (S74).

  Effect symbol variation start processing (S74): Control is performed so that the variation of the effect symbol is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (S75).

  Production symbol variation processing (S75): The switching timing of each variation state (fluctuation speed) constituting the variation pattern and the frame-side production bodies 301A, 301B, 301C and the board-side production bodies 311A, 311B, 311C in the movable production described later. And the end of the fluctuation time are monitored. When the variation time ends, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop process (S76).

  Effect symbol variation stop processing (S76): Based on the reception of the effect control command (symbol confirmation command) for instructing all symbols to stop, control is performed to stop the variation of the effect symbol and derive and display the display result (stop symbol). Do. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot display process (S77) or the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  Jackpot display process (S77): After the end of the variation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of a jackpot. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit game processing (S78).

  Big hit game processing (S78): Control during the big hit game is performed. For example, when receiving a special command during opening of the special prize opening or a designation command after opening the special prize opening, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 5 is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot end effect process (S79).

  Big hit end effect process (S79): In the effect display device 5, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit game state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation start process (S74) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the effect symbol variation start process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variation start command reception flag is set in S271 (S271). When the first variation start command reception flag is set (S271; Y), it is associated with the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” of the first special figure reservation storage in the start winning reception command buffer The various command data and various flags stored are shifted up by one buffer number (S272). Note that the contents of the buffer number “1-0” are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  Specifically, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-1” in the first special figure hold memory are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “1-0”. Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-2” in the first special figure reservation memory are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “1-1”. Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-3” in the 1 special figure hold memory are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “1-2”. Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-4” in the pending storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “1-3”.

  If the first variation start command reception flag is not set in S271 (S271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variation start command reception flag is set (S273). When the second variation start command reception flag is not set (S273; N), the effect symbol variation start process is terminated, and when the second variation start command reception flag is set (S273; Y), the start The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “2-0” to “2-4” of the second special figure hold memory in the received command buffer at the time of winning are placed higher by one buffer number. Shift (S274). Note that the contents of the buffer number “2-0” are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift.

  Specifically, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-1” in the second special figure reservation memory are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “2-0”. Then, the various command data and the various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-2” in the second special figure reservation memory are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “2-1”. The second special figure is shifted so that the various command data and the various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-3” stored in the special figure hold memory are associated with the buffer number “2-2”. Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-4” in the pending storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “2-3”.

  After execution of S272 or S274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (S275).

  Next, the display result of the effect symbol (stop symbol) is determined according to the data stored in the display result specification command storage area (that is, the received display result specification command) (S276). In this case, the CPU 120 for effect control determines the stop symbol of the effect symbol according to the display result specified by the display result specifying command, and stores data indicating the stop symbol of the determined effect symbol in the effect symbol display result storage area To do.

  In this embodiment, when the received variation display result designation command is the second variation display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit A, the effect control CPU 120, for example, has the three symbols “7” as the stop symbol. The combination of effect symbols (big hit symbol) arranged in the above is determined. When the received variation display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit B, a plurality of combinations of odd symbols other than “7” (for example, “111”, “333”, “555”, “999”, etc.). In the case where the received variation display result designation command is the fourth variation display result designation command corresponding to the uncertain variation big hit, the effect control CPU 120, for example, of the effect design in which 3 symbols are arranged in even symbols as stop symbols. The combination (big hit symbol) is determined. In addition, when the received variation display result designation command is the first variation display result designation command corresponding to the deviation, a combination of production symbols (outage symbol) in which the three symbols are irregular as the stop symbols is determined.

  In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 uses, for example, a stop symbol determination table in which random numbers for determining stop symbols are extracted and data indicating combinations of effect symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Thus, the stop symbol of the production symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of effect symbols corresponding to the numerical value that matches the extracted random number.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 identifies a variation pattern from the variation pattern designation command read from the variation pattern designation command storage area in S275, and determines whether or not the identified variation pattern is a super reach β variation pattern. (S277). If it is not the super reach β variation pattern, the process proceeds to S281. Further, in the case of the super reach β variation pattern, a random number for determining the movable effect pattern is extracted, and using the movable effect pattern determining table shown in FIG. (Type) is determined (S278), the movable effect pattern determined in S278 is stored (S279), and the process proceeds to S281.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for determining the movable effect pattern is, for example, a random number in the range of 1 to 100, and any value in the range of 1 to 100 is extracted. That is, although the number of determination values of the random number for determining the movable effect pattern is 100 in the range of 1 to 100, the present invention is not limited to this. What is necessary is just to determine suitably. Further, a random counter for determining the movable effect pattern for generating the random numbers for determining the movable effect pattern is set in the RAM 122, and the random counter for determining the movable effect pattern is updated every time the timer is interrupted by the random number update process. The If it is determined in S277 that the pattern is a super reach β variation pattern, the movable effect is executed based on any of patterns A to C described later, but whether or not the movable effect is executed is determined. May be.

  The movable effect in this embodiment is a predetermined effect timing (in this embodiment, in the execution period of a super reach β effect (hereinafter abbreviated as a super reach effect) executed during a variable display period based on the super reach β change pattern. , The timing immediately before executing the big hit or outset confirmation notification), the frame side effect bodies 301A, 301B, 301C, the board side effect bodies 311A, 311B, 311C, the frame side character LED 350A, 350B, 350C, board side character LED 360A, 360B, 360C, frame side background LED 351A, 351B, 351C, board side background LED 361A, 361B, 361C, production LED 9, production display device 5, etc. It is a suggestive production that suggests sex.

  As shown in FIG. 18 (A), the pattern A includes the frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C of the first effect device 300 on the back side of the frame-side effect body 301A and the board-side effect body 311A. After the first area Z1 corresponding to the “heat” character is emitted by the frame side character LED 350A and the board side character LED 360A while being stopped invisible at the first position, a predetermined period (eg, frame side effect) After the period required to move the body 301C and the board-side effect body 311C to the second position (for example, about 2 seconds), the frame-side background LED 351A and the board-side background LED 361A cause the second region Z2 to emit light. (See FIG. 20 (F)). In the effect display device 5, a special effect for displaying a cut-in image (see FIG. 20 (F)) is set.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, in the pattern B, the frame-side character LEDs 350A and 350B and the board-side character LEDs 360A and 360B cause the first region Z1 corresponding to the characters “super” and “heat” to emit light. In the case where a combined effect section is formed in which the effect of moving the frame side effect body 301B and the board side effect body 311B is moved to the third position (third corresponding position) to visually recognize the characters of "hot". The frame side background LEDs 351A and 351B and the board side background LEDs 361A and 361B cause the second region Z2 to emit light, and the effect display device 5 performs a special effect of displaying a cut-in image.

  As shown in FIG. 18C, the pattern C corresponds to characters of “super”, “super”, and “heat” by the frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, and 350C and the board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, and 360C. While making 1st area | region Z1 light-emit, it performs the 1st linkage effect which moves frame side production bodies 301B and 301C and board side production bodies 311B and 311C to a 2nd position (2nd corresponding position), and also a frame side production body In the case where a composite effect portion that can visually recognize the characters “super intense heat” by executing a second interlocking effect that moves 301C and the board-side effect body 311C to the third position (third corresponding position) The side area LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C and the board side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C cause the second region Z2 to emit light, and the effect display device 5 uses a cut-in image ( There is a pattern that performs a special effect that displays 20 (D) refer).

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the movable effect pattern determination table, when the variation display result is a big hit for each of “pattern A”, “pattern B”, and “pattern C”, the variation pattern is super reach. Different determination values are assigned so that the number of determination values shown in FIG.

  Specifically, when the variable display result is a big hit, 10 judgment values are assigned to “pattern A”, 30 judgment values are assigned to “pattern B”, and “pattern” 60 determination values are assigned to “C”. In the case where the variation pattern is out of super reach β, 60 decision values are assigned to “pattern A”, 30 decision values are assigned to “pattern B”, and “pattern C” ”Is assigned 10 decision values.

  By assigning the determination value in this way, in the variation display based on the super reach β variation pattern, when the big win is achieved, the movable effect based on the pattern C is generated at a higher rate than when the super reach is lost. Executed. On the other hand, when the super reach β is off, the movable effect based on the pattern A is executed at a higher rate than in the case of the big hit.

  That is, when the movable effect based on the pattern C is executed, the big hit expectation is higher than when the movable effect based on the patterns A and B is executed, and when the movable effect based on the pattern B is executed, the pattern A The big hit expectation degree is higher than the case where the movable presentation based on is executed. In this embodiment, the movable effect is executed at a rate of 100% in the variation display based on the super reach β variation pattern, but it is movable at a predetermined rate in the variation display based on the super reach β variation pattern. In the case where the non-execution of the effect can be determined, when the movable effect based on one of the patterns A to C is executed, the big hit expectation is higher than the case where the movable effect is not executed. do it.

  Note that the big hit expectation degree (reliability) of each pattern A to C is the probability that a movable effect based on any one of the patterns A to C will be executed, resulting in a “big hit” for any of the patterns A to C. This is a numerical value obtained by dividing by the sum of the probability that a movable effect based on “A” will be “big hit” and the probability that a movable effect based on one of the patterns A to C will be “out”.

  Although not shown in particular, the effect control CPU 120 performs a notice effect determination process in addition to the movable effects in addition to the processes of S277 to S279, and suggests the possibility of a big hit in the variable display. It may be determined whether or not to execute the effect.

  Returning to FIG. 11, in S281, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the variation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (S282).

  In the process table, display control execution data for controlling display of the effect display device 5, LED control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R are controlled. Sound control execution data, operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, and the like are sequentially arranged in time series in association with each process data n (No. 1 to N). Yes.

  Next, the production control CPU 120 produces the production device (production display as production component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). Control of the device 5, various LEDs as effect parts, speakers 8L and 8R as effect parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (S283). For example, in order to display an image according to the variation pattern on the effect display device 5, a command is output to the display control unit 123. In addition, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14 in order to perform various LED on / off control. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to perform sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect pattern to be displayed in a change pattern corresponding to the change pattern designation command in a one-to-one manner. However, the effect control CPU 120 controls the change pattern designation. The variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the command.

  Then, a value corresponding to the variation time specified by the variation pattern designation command is set in the variation time timer (S284). Further, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (S285). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right effect symbols to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the display control unit 123 is written to the VRAM. The signal corresponding to the image data is output to the effect display device 5, and the effect display device 5 displays the image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing the variation of the effect symbol. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (S75) (S286).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect symbol variation processing of the present embodiment. In the effect symbol variation process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the values of the process timer, the variation time timer, and the variation control timer by 1 (S301, S302, S303).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the process timer has timed out (S304). If the process timer has not timed out, the rendering device (production component) according to the contents of the process data (display control execution data, LED control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.) corresponding to the process timer ) Is executed (S305).

  On the other hand, if the process timer has timed out, the process data is switched (S306). That is, the process timer is started again by setting the process timer setting value set next in the process table in the process timer (S307). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect parts) is changed based on the display control execution data, LED control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc., set next (S308).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the process data is super reach β (S309). Specifically, a variation pattern is identified from the variation pattern designation command read from the variation pattern designation command storage area, and it is determined whether or not the identified variation pattern is a super reach β variation pattern.

  If the process data is not super reach β, the process proceeds to S330. On the other hand, if the process data is super reach β, the process proceeds to S310, and an operation error of either the frame side effector (frame side effector unit 300A) or the board side effector (board side effector unit 300B). Is recorded (for example, when an operation error record is stored in the second initialization process of S51, or when an operation error is recorded in the previous movable effect).

  If there is an operation error record for either the frame side effector (frame side effector unit 300A) or the board side effector (board side effector unit 300B), the process proceeds to S330. Thereby, it is possible to avoid executing the movable effect even though the frame-side effector unit 300A or the board-side effector unit 300B is in an abnormal operation state. On the other hand, if there is no operation error record for either the frame-side effect body (frame-side effect body unit 300A) or the board-side effect body (board-side effect body unit 300B), the process proceeds to S311 to execute the movable effect. It is determined whether it is a period.

  If it is a movable effect process execution timing, that is, a period during which the movable effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S312 to execute the movable effect process, and if it is not the movable effect process execution timing, the process proceeds to S330 without executing the movable effect. move on. Therefore, when the predetermined timing during the variation display of the effect symbol is reached, the movable effect process is started, and any one of “pattern A”, “pattern B”, and “pattern C” among the movable effect patterns. Is executed.

  Here, the movable effect process executed in S312 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17 are flowcharts illustrating an example of the movable effect process.

  In the movable effect process (S312), the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not a movable effect interruption flag indicating that the movable effect has been interrupted is set (S340). If the movable effect interruption flag is set, the process proceeds to S352 without executing the processes from S341 to S350. On the other hand, if the movable effect interruption flag is not set, the process proceeds to S341, and it is determined whether or not a movable effect execution flag indicating that the movable effect is being executed is set.

  When the movable effect execution flag is set, the process proceeds to S351 without executing the processing from S342 to S350, and when the movable effect execution flag is not set, the process proceeds to S342 to move the movable effect. Set the running flag. Then, the process proceeds to S343, and a predetermined movable effect period (for example, a value corresponding to a time (for example, about 5 seconds) for executing the movable effect) is set in the movable effect period timer.

  In S344, it is determined whether or not the movable effect pattern is the pattern A. If it is determined in S344 that the movable effect pattern is the pattern A, the process proceeds to S345, the movable effect process data corresponding to the pattern A is selected, and the process proceeds to S349. If it is determined in S344 that the movable effect pattern is not the pattern A, the process proceeds to S346, and it is determined whether or not the movable effect pattern is the pattern B. If it is determined that the movable effect pattern is the pattern B, the process proceeds to S347, the movable effect process data corresponding to the pattern B is selected, and the process proceeds to S349.

  If it is determined in S346 that the movable effect pattern is not the pattern B, the process proceeds to S348, the movable effect process data corresponding to the pattern C is selected, and the process proceeds to S349. In S349, the movable effect process timer is started, the content of the first process data of the movable effect is controlled (S350), and the process ends.

  In S351, the movable effect process timer is decremented by 1, and the process proceeds to S352. In S352, the movable effect period timer is decremented by 1. Then, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the movable effect period timer has timed out (S353). When the movable effect period timer expires, the process proceeds to S360 to end the movable effect, and the movable effect execution flag is cleared, and if the movable effect interruption flag is set, the movable effect interruption flag is cleared. Then, the movable effect process ends.

  On the other hand, if the movable effect period timer has not timed out, the process proceeds to S354, and it is determined whether the movable effect interruption flag is set. If the movable effect interruption flag is set, the process is terminated. If the movable effect interruption flag is not set, the process proceeds to S355 to check whether the movable effect process timer has timed out. If the movable effect process timer has not timed out, the process proceeds to S358. If the movable effect process timer has timed out, the movable effect process data is switched and the next movable effect process timer is started. (S356, S357).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 executes the control content of the movable effect process data, and determines whether or not the movable effect pattern is the pattern A (S358, S359). If the movable effect pattern is pattern A, the process is terminated. If the movable effect pattern is not the pattern A, the process proceeds to S362 in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in S362, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the movable effect pattern is the pattern B. When the movable effect pattern is not the pattern B (when the movable effect pattern is the pattern C), the process proceeds to S378 in FIG.

  On the other hand, if the movable effect pattern is the pattern B, the process proceeds to S363, and is it the timing when the frame side effector 301B and the board side effector 311B start moving from the first position to the second position in the moveable effect period? Determine whether or not. If the frame side effector 301B and the board side effector 311B are not at the movement start timing from the first position to the second position, the process proceeds to S368, and if it is the movement start timing from the first position to the second position. The process proceeds to S364.

  In S364, first, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the frame side effector position sensor 330A corresponding to the first position is in the detection state, that is, whether the frame side effector 301B is located at the first position. Determine whether or not. If the frame side effector position sensor 330A corresponding to the first position is in the detection state, the process proceeds to S365, whether or not the board side effector position sensor 340A corresponding to the first position is in the detection state, that is, It is determined whether or not the board-side effect body 311B is located at the first position. And when the board side production | presentation body position sensor 340A corresponding to a 1st position is a detection state, a frame side production | presentation body 301B and the board side production | presentation body 311B are normally located in the 1st position, and a process is carried out. finish.

  On the other hand, if the frame side effector position sensor 330A corresponding to the first position is not in the detection state in S364, or if the board side effector position sensor 340A is not in the detection state in S365, either one is the first position. Is not located, that is, there is a possibility that an operation abnormality has occurred, the process proceeds to S366, the movable effect interruption flag is set in S366, and the frame side effector 301B and the board side effector 311B are set in the sub-side error processing. Is set to the first position (S367), and the process ends.

  In this embodiment, when the movable effect interruption flag is set at each timing in the movable effect process, the effect control CPU 120 is scheduled to be executed after the set timing while the execution of the super reach effect is continued. The movable effect process is interrupted. Further, when the return flag is set at each timing in the movable effect process, the return operation process for returning each effector to the first position in the sub-side error process is performed in parallel with the execution of the super reach effect being continued. Run. In the return operation process, the origin return operation is executed a plurality of times (for example, three times) as in the return operation process in the second initialization process of S51. Further, when each effector returns to the origin position in the return operation process, the error record is cleared, and when each effector does not return to the origin position, the effect control CPU 120 stores the operation error record, Next time, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β is executed, it is determined in S310 that there is an operation error record, so that it is possible to avoid the start of the movable effect without eliminating the operation abnormality.

  In addition, by performing the return operation processing of each effector to the first position in the sub-side error processing, for example, when an operation abnormality occurs near the end of the movable effect, the return is performed even after the movable effect ends. Since the operation process can be executed in parallel, the return operation process can be surely executed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be executed in the movable effect process. Good. Alternatively, such a return operation process may not be executed until the second initialization process is executed next time.

  In S368, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the frame-side effect body 301B and the board-side effect body 311B are at the completion timing of movement from the first position to the second position in the movable effect period.

  When the frame-side effect body 301B and the board-side effect body 311B are not at the completion timing of movement from the first position to the second position, the process proceeds to S373, and the frame-side effect body 301B and the board-side effect body 311B are moved from the first position to the first position. If it is time to complete the movement to the second position, the process proceeds to S369.

  Further, at the timing when it is determined in S394 and S395 that the frame-side effect body 301C and the board-side effect body 311C are normally located at the third position, the effect control CPU 120 is assumed that the composite effect portion is formed.

Note that the control of causing these LEDs to emit light or displaying an image on the effect display device 5 at the start of the movable effect or at the timing when the composite effect unit is formed is executed according to the process data.

  On the other hand, if the frame side effector position sensor 330E corresponding to the third position is not in the detection state in S394, or if the board side effector position sensor 340E is not in the detection state in S395, either one is the third position. Is not located, that is, there is a possibility that an operation abnormality has occurred, the process proceeds to S396, the movable effect interruption flag is set in S396, and the frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side effect are set in the sub-side error processing. A return flag for returning the bodies 311B and 311C to the first position is set (S397), and the process ends.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in S398, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the frame-side effector 301C and the board-side effector 311C are at the completion timing of movement from the third position to the first position in the movable effect period. judge. It should be noted that the frame side effector 301B and the board side effector 311B become the frame side effector 301C at the timing when the frame side effector 301C and the board side effector 311C moving from the third position to the first position reach the second position. And it moves to the 1st position with board side production body 311C.

  If the frame-side effect body 301C is not the movement completion timing from the third position to the first position (the frame-side effect body 301B and the board-side effect body 311B are the movement completion timing from the second position to the first position) The process ends. On the other hand, when it is the timing when the frame-side effect body 301C has moved from the third position to the first position, the process proceeds to S399.

  In S399, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the frame side effector position sensor 330C corresponding to the first position is in a detection state, that is, whether or not the frame side effector 301C is located at the first position. Determine. At this time, it is also determined whether or not the frame side effector position sensor 330A corresponding to the first position is in a detection state, that is, whether or not the frame side effector 301B is located at the first position.

  When the frame side effector position sensors 330A and 330C corresponding to the first position are in the detection state, the process proceeds to S400, and whether or not the board side effector position sensors 340A and 340C corresponding to the first position are in the detection state. That is, it is determined whether or not the board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C are located at the first position. When the board side effector position sensors 340A and 340C corresponding to the first position are in the detection state, the frame side effector 301B and 301C and the board side effector 311B and 311C are normally located at the first position. The process ends.

  On the other hand, if the frame side effector position sensors 330A and 330C corresponding to the first position are not in the detection state in S399, or if the board side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are not in the detection state in S400, either Is not in the first position, that is, there is a possibility that an abnormal operation has occurred, the process proceeds to S401, the movable effect interruption flag is set in S401, and the frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C are set in the sub-side error processing. And the return flag for returning the board | board side production bodies 311B and 311C to a 1st position is set (S402), and the said process is complete | finished.

  In this embodiment, at each movement start timing of S363, S378, and S388 and at each movement completion timing of S368, S373, S383, S393, and 398, the effect control CPU 120 detects any of the effect body position sensors. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of times (when any of the effector position sensors is not in the detection state at each timing) For example, the movable effect interruption flag may be set when it is determined that the detection state of each effector position sensor is not detected even if the detection status of each effector position sensor is confirmed over three times.

  Further, the processing of S378 to S387 in FIG. 22 may be made common to the processing of S363 to S372 in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 13, in S330, it is confirmed whether or not the fluctuation control timer has expired (S330). When the variation control timer has timed out (S330; Y), the CPU 120 for effect control displays the next display screen of the effect symbol of the left middle right (displayed after 30 ms has elapsed since the last effect symbol display switching time). Image data of the power screen) is created and written in a predetermined area of the VRAM (S331). In this manner, the effect display device 5 can implement the effect control of the effect symbols. The display control unit 123 sends a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the effect display device 5. Output. As such, the effect display device 5 displays the background image, the character image, and the effect symbol in the effect symbol variation. Further, a predetermined value is reset in the fluctuation control timer (S332).

  If the variation control timer has not timed out (S330; N), after executing S332, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the variation time timer has timed out (S333). If the variation time timer has timed out, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop process (S76) (S335). If the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation designation command has been received is set even if the variation time timer has not timed out (S334; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is set to the effect symbol variation stop process ( The value is updated according to S76) (S335). Even if the variation time timer has not timed out, when the symbol confirmation designation command is received, the process shifts to control for stopping variation.For example, a variation pattern designation command indicating a long variation time due to noise between substrates is used. Even in the case of reception, the variation of the effect symbol can be terminated when the regular variation time has elapsed (when the variation of the special symbol is finished).

  In the process table used for the variation control of the effect symbol, process data during the effect symbol variation display is set. That is, the sum of the process timer setting values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the production symbol variation time. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n is timed out in the process of S334, there is no process data to be switched (display control execution data, LED control execution data, etc.), and the effect control of the effect symbol based on the process table ends. To do.

  Next, the control contents in the super reach effect that the effect control CPU 120 executes during the variation display based on the super reach β variation pattern will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 19 is a timing chart showing an example of control contents when a movable effect based on the effect pattern C is executed. 20A to 20G are explanatory diagrams illustrating examples of effects of super reach production.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the effect control CPU 120 causes the effect display device 5 to change the display based on the effect symbol at the timing T2 when a predetermined period has elapsed from the timing T1 when the effect symbol change display based on the super reach β variation pattern is started. After reaching the reach state (see FIG. 20A), it is developed into a super reach production (see FIG. 20B). In the super reach production, the teammate character and the enemy character battle (see FIG. 20C), and if the teammate character wins, it becomes a big hit, and if it is defeated, it is lost.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 starts the movable effect immediately before the battle is settled, that is, at a timing T3 when a predetermined period has elapsed from the timing T2 when the super reach effect is started. Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the frame side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are in a detection state, that is, the frame side effectors 301B and 301C. And it is determined whether the board side production bodies 311B and 311C are located at the first position (origin position). When the frame side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are in the detection state, that is, the frame side effectors 301B and 301C and the board side effectors 311B and 311C are in the first position ( When it is located at the origin position), lighting of the frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C and the board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C is started, and the frame side effector motors 310A, 310B and the board side effector are started. The frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C are driven by the motors 320A and 320B.

  Next, a predetermined period from the timing T3, that is, a period (for example, about 1 second) required for the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C to reach the second position from the first position has elapsed. At timing T4, whether or not the frame side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in the detection state, that is, the frame side effectors 301B and 301C and the board side effectors 311B and 311C It is determined whether or not it is located at the second position. When the frame side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in the detection state, that is, the frame side effectors 301B and 301C and the board side effectors 311B and 311C reach the second position. When it determines with having moved normally, while stopping the frame side effector motor 310A and the board side effector motor 320A, the frame side effector motor 310B and the board side effector motor 320B are continuously driven. . As a result, the characters “extremely hot” are formed by the frame side effect bodies 301A and 301B and the board side effect bodies 311A and 311B, and the frame side effect body 301C and the board side effect body 311C pass through the second position. Furthermore, it moves toward the third position.

  At a timing T5 when a predetermined period from the timing T4, that is, a period (for example, about 1 second) required for the frame-side effect body 301C and the board-side effector 311C to reach the third position from the second position, It is determined whether or not the effect body position sensor 330E and the board side effect body position sensor 340E are in a detection state, that is, whether or not the frame side effect body 301C and the board side effect body 311C are located at the third position. When the frame-side effect body position sensor 330E and the board-side effect body position sensor 340E are in the detection state, that is, when it is determined that the frame-side effect body 301C and the board-side effect body 311C have moved normally to the third position. Then, the driving of the frame side effector motor 310B and the board side effector motor 320B is stopped. Thereby, the characters “super intense heat” are formed by the frame side effect bodies 301A, 301B, 301C and the board side effect bodies 311A, 311B, 311C (see FIG. 20D).

  Furthermore, the CPU 120 for effect control is based on the fact that the composite effect part having the characters “super intense heat” is formed by the frame side effect bodies 301A, 301B, 301C and the board side effect bodies 311A, 311B, 311C. The frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, and the effect LED 9 are emitted colors corresponding to the pattern C (for example, red, gold, rainbow, etc. FIG. 18C and FIG. 20). The special effect of displaying a cut-in image (for example, a large character image) in a mode corresponding to the pattern C is executed on the effect display device 5 (see FIG. 20D). )reference).

  When the pattern A is determined as the movable effect pattern, whether or not the frame side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are in the detection state at the timing T3, that is, the frame When it is determined that the side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311B are located at the first position (origin position), the frame side effect body 301A and the board side effect body 311A give the letters “heat”. On the basis of the formation of the composite effect part having the frame side background LED 351A, the board side background LED 361A, and the effect LED 9, the emission colors corresponding to the pattern A (for example, white, blue, etc. in FIG. 20F). A cut-in image (for example, a character in a mode corresponding to the pattern A is displayed on the effect display device 5 while being lit in the hatched area). Performing a special effect for displaying an image is small) see (FIG. 20 (F)).

  When the pattern B is determined as the movable effect pattern, the frame side effector position sensor 330B and the board side effector position sensor 340B at the timing T4 when a predetermined period (for example, about 1 second) has elapsed from the timing T3. Is in the detection state, that is, whether or not the frame side effector 301B and the board side effector 311B are located at the second position. When the frame side effector position sensor 330B and the board side effector position sensor 340B are in the detection state, that is, when it is determined that the frame side effector 301B and the board side effector 311B have moved normally to the second position. The frame side effector motor 310A and the board side effector motor 320A are stopped. As a result, the characters “extremely hot” are formed by the frame side effect bodies 301A and 301B and the board side effect bodies 311A and 311B. Then, the CPU 120 for effect control uses the frame-side background LED 351A based on the fact that the frame-side effect bodies 301A and 301B and the board-side effect bodies 311A and 311B form the composite effect portion having the characters “hot”. , 351B and the board side background LEDs 361A, 361B and the production LED 9 are lit in the emission color corresponding to the pattern B (for example, yellow, green, etc., see the hatched area in FIG. 18B), and the production display device 5 A special effect for displaying a cut-in image (for example, in a character image) in a mode corresponding to the pattern B is executed (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the case of the pattern C, the special effect is executed from the timing T5 to the timing T6 when the combined effect part of “super intense heat” is formed. This is executed over the period from timing T4 to timing T6 when the “super hot” combined effect portion is formed. In the case of pattern A, the period from timing T3 to timing T6 when the combined effect portion whose special effect is “heat” is formed. However, the patterns A and B may be started at the timing T5 corresponding to the pattern C. Further, the end timing of the special effect is not limited to the timing T6, and may be ended at a timing when a certain period has elapsed since the start of the special effect.

  Then, at the timing T6 when the special effect ends, the effect control CPU 120 turns on the frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, and the frame side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C. The board side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C are turned off, and when the frame side effect bodies 301B, 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B, 311C are moved to the second position or the third position, they are retracted to the first position. Let

  As shown in FIG. 19, in this embodiment, in the patterns C and B, the movement speed when the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C are advanced to the second position or the third position. The moving speed for retracting from the second position or the third position to the first position is the same, but the advance speed and the retracting speed may be different. For example, by making the advance speed faster than the retreat speed, it can appear that the composite effect section is formed more instantly, so that it is possible to provide an impact effect while the retreat operation speed (origin return operation) By setting the speed) to the minimum control speed in the above-described actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control), it is possible to perform the return to origin appropriately.

  Next, when the fluctuation display result is a big hit, a definite notification is executed indicating that the battle has been won and the big win has been won (see FIG. 20E). On the other hand, when the fluctuation display result is out of order, a definite notification indicating that the battle has been lost and lost is executed (see FIG. 20G). It should be noted that the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400 and the third effect device 500 are movable according to the change display result (for example, only when a big hit is made) from when the movable effect ends to when the confirmation notification is executed. You may make it perform the movable body effect etc. which operate the body 501. FIG. In addition, a movable body effect that operates the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400 and the movable body 501 of the third effect device 500 may be executed in conjunction with the execution of the movable effect.

  In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120, at the timing T6 when the special effect ends, turns on the frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, and the frame side background. The LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C and the panel side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C are turned off (see FIGS. 20E and 20G), but based on the pattern executed in FIGS. The special effect may be continued until the final notification is completed. In this case, when the big hit confirmation notification is performed, the frame side character LED 350A, 350B, 350C, the board side character LED 360A, 360B, 360C, the frame side background LED 351A, 351B, 351C, the board side background LED 361A. , 361B, 361C to emit light in rainbow colors, and to confirm the deviation, frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C and frame side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C The board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C are preferably turned off.

  As described above, the movable effects based on the patterns B and C are provided on the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C provided on the glass door frame 50 side which is the first member, and on the gaming machine frame 3 side which is the second member. The board-side directors 311B and 311C are linked to the second position (second corresponding position) or the third position (third corresponding position) and the characters displayed on the front of the frame-side directors 301B and 301C A half part (first effect part 372A) and a lower half part (second effect part 372B) of characters displayed on the front side of the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C are arranged close to positions corresponding to the upper and lower sides, respectively. When a combined effect part composed of two characters (for example, “super heat”) or three characters (for example, “super heat”) arranged in the left-right direction and a background is formed, the frame side character LED 350A , 350B, 350C, LE for board side characters 360A, in which 360B, 360C and the frame-side background LED351A, 351B, 351C, panel-side background LED361A, 361B, special effects by displaying cut-in images in lighting and effect display device 5 of 361C is performed.

  However, the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C in which the upper half portions of “Super” and “Geki” are respectively displayed, and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C in which the lower half portions of “Super” and “Geki” are respectively displayed. Are provided at separate locations and can be independently driven by separate drive mechanisms 302 and 312, for example, at least one of the frame-side effect body and the board-side effect body is If for some reason (for example, catching, motor (drive source) failure, disconnection, noise, etc.) does not operate, that is, if an abnormal operation occurs, even if only the other operates, one character, that is, the first effect A composite effect part composed of the part 372A and the second effect part 372B is not formed.

  In particular, since the effect control board 12 is provided on the back side of the game board 2, that is, on the gaming machine frame 3 side, the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C provided on the glass door frame 50 side which is the first member are provided. The frame side effector motors 310A and 310B to be driven are compared to the board side effector motors 320A and 320B for driving the board side effectors 311B and 311C provided on the gaming machine frame 3 side as the second member. Since the wiring connected to the effect control board 12 becomes longer and the glass door frame 50 can be opened and closed with respect to the gaming machine frame 3, bending occurs at a predetermined portion of the wiring according to the opening and closing of the glass door frame 50. As the wiring becomes longer as described above, not only is it easily affected by noise, but the number of connection points with the relay substrate or the like increases, so the possibility of disconnection increases. Moreover, it becomes easy to generate | occur | produce etc. by the vibration by opening and closing of the glass door frame 50. FIG.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when at least one of the frame side effector and the board side effector does not operate in the movable effect, the effect control CPU 120 does not form a composite effect part even if only the other operates. , Do not perform special effects.

  Here, the control contents when an operation abnormality occurs during the execution of the movable effect based on the effect pattern C will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 21 is a timing chart showing an example of control contents when an operation abnormality occurs during the execution of the movable effect based on the effect pattern C. 22A to 22D are explanatory diagrams corresponding to FIG. FIG. 23 is a timing chart showing another example of control contents when an operation abnormality occurs during execution of a movable effect based on the effect pattern C.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the effect control CPU 120, at the timing T3 when a predetermined period has elapsed from the timing T2 at which the super reach effect is started, the frame side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board side effector position sensors 340A and 340C. Is in the detection state, and when the frame side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are in the detection state, that is, the frame side effectors 301B and 301C and the board side When the production bodies 311B and 311C are located at the first position (origin position), the frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, and 350C and the board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, and 360C are turned on, and the frame side production body Frame side effects by the motors 310A and 310B and the board side effector motors 320A and 320B 301B, 301C and panel side effect body 311B, drives the 311C (see FIG. 22 (A) (B)).

  Next, at a timing T4 when a predetermined period (for example, about 1 second) has elapsed from the timing T3, it is determined whether or not the frame side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in the detection state. To do. Here, for example, the frame side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board side effector position sensor 340D are in the detection state, but the board side effector position sensor 340B is not in the detection state, that is, the board side effector 311B. Is determined not to have moved to the second position, it is assumed that the board-side effect body 311B has not moved from the first position or has stopped between the first position and the second position. Then, a movable effect interruption flag is set, a process for interrupting the movable effect is executed, and a return flag is set for returning each moved effector to the first position.

  Specifically, based on the setting of the movable effect suspension flag, all the frame-side effector motors 310A and 310B and the board-side effector motors 320A and 320B are stopped, and the frame-side character LEDs 350A and 350B are stopped. , 350C and the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C are turned off, and the movable effect is interrupted (see FIG. 22C). Therefore, even when the frame side effector 301C and the board effector 311C arrive at the third position, the frame side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, and the effect use While the LED 9 remains off, the cut-in image as a special image is not displayed on the effect display device 5. That is, the special effect is not executed.

  Further, based on the setting of the return flag, return operation control for returning the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect body 311C moving to the second position to the first position is executed (FIG. 22 ( D)).

  As described above, the effect control CPU 120 starts any of the effect bodies in spite of starting the process of moving the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C from the first position to the third position. If it is determined that (the board-side effect body 311B here) has not moved to the second position, the movable effect is interrupted. In other words, since the combined effect portion composed of the characters “super intense heat” cannot be formed, the special effect performed when the combined effect portion is formed is not executed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 22 (C), an inappropriate performance is produced in a state in which the upper half of “Geki” and the majority of “super” are arranged close to each other in the vertical direction and the combined production portion is not formed. Can be avoided.

  In FIG. 21, at the timing T4 when the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C reach the second position, the board side effect body 311B does not move from the first position, so that the second position. Although the form which is not detected in the example is exemplified, the movable effect is interrupted even when the movement is stopped from the first position to the second position.

  Further, in FIG. 21, at the timing T4 when the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C reach the second position, the board side effect body 311B does not reach the second position, so that the movable effect is achieved. However, even if at least one effector other than the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effector 311C has not reached the second position, the movable effect is shown. Interrupt.

  Further, at the timing T4, it is determined that all the frame side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in the detection state, that is, all the frame side effector positions 301B and 301C and the board side. The directors 311B and 311C have moved to the second position, but at the timing when the frame-side director 301C and the board-side director 311C reach the third position, the frame-side director position sensor 330E and the board-side director position sensor 340E. If it is determined that at least one of them is not in the detection state, that is, has not moved to the third position, either one has not moved from the second position, or between the second position and the third position. Set the movable effect interruption flag and executed the process to interrupt the movable effect and moved it. It sets a return flag for returning the presentation member to the first position.

  In the present embodiment, at the timing T4, it is determined that all the frame side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in the detection state, that is, the frame side effectors 301B and 301C. When any of the board-side effects bodies 311B and 311C does not move to the second position (second corresponding position), the movable effect is interrupted, but at least at the timing T4 corresponds to “Intense”. If it can be detected that the frame-side effect body 301B and the board-side effect body 311B have moved to the second position (second corresponding position), it is not necessary to interrupt the effect at timing T4.

  Further, in FIG. 21, at the timing T4 when the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C reach the second position, the board side effect body 311B does not reach the second position, so that the movable effect is achieved. 23, the frame side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board side effector at the timing T3 when a predetermined period has elapsed from the timing T2 at which the super reach effect is started, for example, as shown in FIG. When at least one of the position sensors 340A and 340C is in a non-detected state, that is, at least one effector of the frame side effectors 301B and 301C and the board side effectors 311B and 311C is located at the first position. If not, the movable effect interruption flag is set to interrupt the movable effect.

  As a factor in the case where at least one effector is not located at the first position among the frame effectors 301B and 301C and the board effectors 311B and 311C, for example, the influence of noise other than the execution period of the movable effect It is conceivable that the frame side effector motors 310A and 310B and the board side effector motors 320A and 320B malfunction due to the above, or the effector moves due to vibration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 or the like. In such a case, the moving effect is interrupted because there is a possibility that the combined effect part composed of the characters “super intense heat” may not be formed. It is possible to avoid performing various effects.

  As described above, the CPU 120 for effect control has a predetermined effect timing in the execution period of the super reach β effect (hereinafter, abbreviated as super reach effect) (in this embodiment, the timing immediately before executing the big hit or loss confirmation notification). The board side effect bodies 311B and 311C as the second effect part move from the first position to the second position or the third position (change from the first state to the second state), and the frame side effect body 301A. , 301B, 301C and a board-side effect body 311A, 311B, 311C, when a composite effect part composed of a plurality of effect parts is formed, frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B 360C, frame side background LED 351A, 351B, 351C, panel side background LED 361A, 361B, 361C, performance While the special LED for causing the LED 9 to emit light in a special light emission mode and displaying a special image (for example, a cut-in image or the like) on the effect display device 5 can be executed, at the predetermined effect timing, When the combined effect section is not formed without moving 311B and 311C from the first position to the second position or the third position, the special effect is not executed. Specifically, the frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, the frame side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, and the performance LED 9 are turned off. In addition, the cut-in image as a special image is not displayed on the effect display device 5.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 moves the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C from the first corresponding position to the second corresponding position in conjunction with the movement of the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C from the first position to the second position. The frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C are moved from the second corresponding position to the third corresponding position in conjunction with the first interlocking effect to be performed and the movement of the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C from the second position to the second position. The second interlocking effect can be executed.

  Then, the second interlocking effect can be executed after the first interlocking effect is executed, and the board side effectors 311B and 311C are moved to the second position by the execution of the first interlocking effect and the frame side effectors 301B and 301C are the first ones. 2 By starting the second interlocking effect based on the change to the corresponding position, the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C do not move to the second position, or the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C move to the second corresponding position. Since the second interlocking effect is not performed in spite of not being performed, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable by executing the inappropriate second interlocking effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the effect control CPU 120 moves the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C to the first corresponding positions in conjunction with the movement of the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C from the first position to the second position. Can be moved to the second corresponding position, and one of the board-side effects bodies 311B and 311C and the frame-side effects bodies 301B and 301C operates at the timing T3 immediately before executing the big hit or outage confirmation notification. When it is impossible, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable by executing an inappropriate performance by not operating the other.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 has frame effect elements 301A, 301B at effect timings other than the predetermined effect timing (for example, timing immediately before execution of the big hit or loss confirmation notification in the execution period of the super reach β effect). , 301C can be executed independently.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 24, the effect display window 60 includes an upper portion of the frame-side light emitting portion 9L and an upper portion of the frame-side light emitting portion 9R that extend in the vertical direction on the left and right side portions of the glass door frame 50. It is formed horizontally so as to be connected. In the state where the moving effect is not performed, the first effect device 300 has the effect display window 60 seen through because the frame effect elements 301B and 301C and the board effect elements 311B and 311C are at the first position (origin position). Thus, the state where the frame-side effect body 301A and the frame-side light emitting unit 9H are arranged side by side is visible.

  Here, although the frame-side effect body 301A is decorated with the outline of the upper half character of “heat” on the front, as shown in FIG. 24A, the frame-side character LED 350A and the frame-side background If the LED 351A is turned off, the letters in the upper half of the “heat” are not noticeable. If the board-side character LED 360A and the board-side background LED 361A are also turned off, the letters in the lower half of the “heat” are inconspicuous.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 24 (B), the effect control CPU 120 turns off the board-side character LED 360A and the board-side background LED 361A in a state in which the movable effect is not performed, and also produces the board-side effect body 311B. , 311C are arranged in the first position, and the frame side light emitting unit 9H, the frame side character LED 350A, and the frame side background LED 351A are caused to emit light in a light emission mode according to the light emission mode of the frame side light emitting units 9L and 9R. That is, the single effect by the frame side effect bodies 301A, 301B, and 301C can be executed as an effect other than the movable effect (for example, a notice effect or a big hit effect). In this way, the frame-side effect body 301A that constitutes a part of the composite effect unit in the movable effect can be used without a sense of incongruity as a part of the frame-side light emitting unit similar to the frame side light emitting units 9L, 9R, 9H. . In this way, when a movable effect is executed, the part that normally emits light as a part of the frame side light emitting part constitutes a part of the composite effect part. Can be given.

  In addition, for example, when the CPU 120 for effect control causes the frame-side light emitting units 9L, 9R, and 9H to emit light as an error notification when a predetermined error (abnormality) occurs, the error notification is not hindered. As described above, the execution of the movable effect may be limited and the error notification may be preferentially executed. By doing in this way, the occurrence of an abnormality can be grasped at an early stage by a store clerk or the like of an amusement store.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention, the frame-side effect bodies 301A, 301B, and 301C as the first effect parts provided in the glass door frame 50 as the first member The board side effect bodies 311B, 311C are provided with board side effect bodies 311A, 311B, 311C as second effect units provided in the gaming machine frame 3 as a second member different from the glass door frame 50. It is possible to move between the first position and the third position by a predetermined operation, and the effect control CPU 120 performs a board-side effect at a timing immediately before executing a big hit or outage confirmation notification in the execution period of the super reach β effect. The bodies 311B and 311C move from the first position to the second position or the third position, and the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C move from the first corresponding position to the second corresponding position. Moves to the third corresponding position, and is composed of a plurality of effect units including a first effect unit 372A of the frame side effect bodies 301A, 301B, 301C and a second effect unit 372B of the board side effect bodies 311A, 311B, 311C. When the composite effect portion is formed, the frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, the frame side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, The effect LED 9 can emit light in a special light emission mode, and a special effect for displaying a special image (for example, a cut-in image) on the effect display device 5 can be executed. At the predetermined effect timing, the board side effector 311B and 311C do not move from the first position to the second position or the third position, and the combined effect portion is not formed. In this case, the special effect is not executed (for example, in this embodiment, the frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, the frame side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board side background use The LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C and the production LED 9 are turned off, and a cut-in image as a special image is not displayed on the production display device 5).

  By doing in this way, either board side production body 311B, 311C (frame side production body 301B, 301C) moves to the 2nd position (2nd correspondence position) or the 3rd position (3rd correspondence position). Since the special effect is not performed even though the composite effect part is not formed, it is possible to suppress the player from feeling uncomfortable by executing an inappropriate effect.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a big hit is reached, the reach state is always set, and any one of the super reach β, the super reach α, and the normal reach is executed, and the super reach β, the super reach α, and the normal reach are executed. The big hit expectation degree (big hit reliability) that the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” in this order is set so as to increase. Therefore, when the movable effect (special effect) is executed in the movable effect of the super reach β effect, a value (for example, a big hit gaming state) advantageous to the player is higher than when the movable effect (special effect) is not executed. Will be granted. In other words, the super reach β effect in which the special effect is executed is an effect that is highly advantageous to the player when executed, so that the player expects the special effect to be executed in the movable effect. Therefore, it is possible to focus attention on special effects.

  The advantage is, for example, not only the degree of expectation for the execution (granting) of control related to an increase in the number of balls, such as a large number of winning balls, jackpot rounds, jackpots, probability variation control, and short-time control, This includes the degree of expectation for the execution of the performance suggesting execution (successful performance). In other words, when the execution control CPU 120 determines the execution (granting) of the winning ball, the jackpot round number, the jackpot, the probability variation control, the time reduction control and the success of the stage, the special stage is performed at a higher rate than when it is not determined. It will be decided to execute.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 performs the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C (the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C) at the timing immediately before executing the big hit or loss confirmation notification in the execution period of the super reach β effect. ) Does not move to the second position (second corresponding position) or the third position (third corresponding position) and the combined effect section is not formed, the form in which the special effect is not executed (for example, this embodiment) Then, the frame side character LED 350A, 350B, 350C, the board side character LED 360A, 360B, 360C, the frame side background LED 351A, 351B, 351C, the board side background LED 361A, 361B, 361C, and the effect LED 9 are turned off. Although the cut-in image as a special image is not displayed on the effect display device 5), Akira is not limited to this. For example, one of the board-side effects 311B and 311C (frame-side effects 301B and 301C) is in the second position (second corresponding position) or the third position (third When the combined effect section is not formed without moving to the corresponding position), a special effect different from the special effect may be executable.

  Specifically, at the execution timing of the special effect, the frame side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the board side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, the frame side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, the effect LED 9 is caused to emit light in a special light emission mode different from the special light emission mode (for example, a light emission mode different in emission color, light emission luminance, or the like), or the cut-in image as a special image in the effect display device 5 A cut-in image (for example, an image without a character) may be displayed, or an image different from the cut-in image may be displayed. By doing so, the rendering effect is reduced without doing anything. This can be suppressed.

  In other words, in this embodiment, when any of the frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C does not operate normally in the movable effect, the movable effect is interrupted without moving from the beginning at the movement start timing. To stop moving during the movement and interrupt the movable effect, or to move to the second position (second corresponding position) or the third position (third corresponding position) at the movement completion timing. In other words, the case where the combined effect section is not formed by performing the operation process of the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C from the beginning, or the operation process is executed. In the case where the combined effect section is not formed, the example in which the special effect is not executed by interrupting the movable effect is illustrated, but the present invention is limited to this. No, when the combined effect part is not formed by not performing the operation processing of the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C from the beginning, or when the operation process is executed but the composite effect part is not formed In addition, a special effect other than the special effect may be executed without interrupting the movable effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, not only the board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C as the second effect part, but also the frame-side effect elements 301B and 301C as the first effect part have the second corresponding position or the third corresponding position, It is provided so as to be movable in the left-right direction.

  Thus, since not only the 2nd production | presentation part but the 1st production | presentation part is provided so that a movement is possible, the production effect can be heightened.

  Further, in this embodiment, the production control CPU 120 moves the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C from the first corresponding position in conjunction with the movement of the board side production bodies 311B and 311C from the first position to the second position. The frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C are moved from the second corresponding position to the third position in conjunction with the first linked effect that is moved to the second corresponding position and the movement of the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C from the second position to the third position. A second interlocking effect that is moved to the corresponding position can be executed.

  By doing in this way, the board-side effects bodies 311B and 311C and the frame-side effects bodies 301B and 301C move to the third position and the third corresponding position via the second position and the second corresponding position, so that the effect Can be increased.

  Further, in the embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the second interlocking effect after executing the first interlocking effect, and the board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C move to the second position by executing the first interlocking effect. At the same time, based on the fact that the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C have changed to the second corresponding position, the second interlocking effect is started.

  By doing in this way, even if the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C do not move to the second position or the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C do not move to the second corresponding position, the second interlocking effect is performed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable by executing the inappropriate second interlocking effect.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24B, the effect control CPU 120 turns off the board-side character LED 360A and the board-side background LED 361A, and puts the board-side presentation bodies 311B and 311C in the first position. The frame-side light emitting unit 9H, the frame-side character LED 350A, and the frame-side background LED 351A can be made to emit light in a light-emitting manner corresponding to the light-emitting manner of the frame-side light emitting units 9L and 9R.

  By doing in this way, since the 1st production part 372A can be used also for productions other than a movable production, the production effect can be heightened.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, the effect control CPU 120 is linked with the movement of the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C from the first position to the second position, thereby producing the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C. Can be moved from the first corresponding position to the second corresponding position, and at the timing T3 immediately before executing the big hit or loss confirmation notification, the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C and the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C When one of them is inoperable, it is not operated even if the other is operable.

  By doing in this way, since one side does not change among the 1st production part and the 2nd production part, the other does not change, so a player feels uncomfortable by performing an inappropriate production. Can be suppressed.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the said Example, the 1st effect part provided in the glass door frame 50 as a 1st member is made into frame side effect body 301A, 301B, 301C, and the 2nd provided in the frame 3 for game machines as a 2nd member. Although the form which made the production | presentation part board side production | reformation body 311A, 311B, 311C was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The 1st production part provided in the frame 3 for game machines as a 1st member is used. It is good also as board side production | presentation body 311A, 311B, 311C, and it is good also as frame side production | presentation body 301A, 301B, 301C as a 2nd production part provided in the glass door frame 50.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which applied the glass door frame 50 and the frame 3 for game machines was illustrated as a 1st member or a 2nd member, this invention is not limited to this, A 1st member As long as the second member and the second member are different from each other, for example, two members provided on one of the glass door frame 50 and the gaming machine frame 3 may be used. A member provided on a member other than the gaming machine frame 3 (for example, a lower door frame or an outer frame below the glass door frame 50) may be used. Or you may provide a 1st production | presentation part in the 1st site | part of one member, and a 2nd production | presentation part in the 2nd site | part different from a 1st site | part.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the 1st production | presentation apparatus 300 illustrated the form provided along the upper side part of the pachinko gaming machine 1, this invention is not limited to this, The left side part Further, it may be provided along the right side portion, the lower side portion, or the like, and may be provided at any location as long as the player can visually recognize from one viewpoint.

  Moreover, in the said Example, the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C as a 1st production | presentation part and the board side production bodies 311B and 311C as a 2nd production | presentation part are each provided in the upper side part vicinity of the glass door frame 50. FIG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least the second rendering unit may include a plurality of rendering units that are independently arranged at a plurality of locations. Further, each of the first effect unit and the second effect unit may not be provided with a plurality of effect units, but may be configured by only one effect unit.

  Moreover, in the said Example, the 1st production | presentation apparatus 300 seems to respond | correspond respectively up and down with the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C as a 1st production part, and the board side production bodies 311B and 311C as a 2nd production part. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first effect unit and the second effect unit are only positions corresponding to the upper and lower sides. It may be provided in the position corresponding to right and left or back and front.

  Further, at least the second rendering unit may not be slidable between the first position and the second position as in the above embodiment as long as it can change from the first state to the second state. For example, it may be provided so as to be rotatable as in the second modification. That is, as long as the state is changed by a predetermined operation (for example, movement, rotation, rotation, swinging, deformation, etc.), the movement may not necessarily be provided.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the board side production bodies 311B and 311C as a 2nd production | presentation part were movable, the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C as a 1st production | presentation part illustrated the form which can also move. The present invention is not limited to this, and at least if the second effect unit can change between the first state and the second state, the first effect unit does not necessarily correspond to the first state. And the second corresponding state corresponding to the second state may not be changeable.

  For example, in the case of the above-described embodiment, the frame side effector 301B as the first effector is previously positioned at the second corresponding position, and the frame side effector 301C is positioned at the third corresponding position. In what is fixed in the state of constituting a half part, the board-side production bodies 311A, 311B, 311C as the second production section can be moved to positions corresponding to the frame-side production bodies 301A, 301B, 301C. Or the like.

  Moreover, in the said Example, the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C as a 1st production | presentation part and the board side production bodies 311B and 311C as a 2nd production | presentation part are 2nd positions (2nd corresponding position) from a 1st position. Alternatively, by moving to the third position (third corresponding position), a combined effect unit (for example, “heat”, “extreme heat”, “super intense heat” including the first effect unit 372A and the second effect unit 372B). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and like the first effect device 300, the frame effect elements 301A, 301B, 301C as the first effect unit and It is not limited to what a composite production | presentation part is formed only by the board side production | generation body 311A, 311B, 311C of 2 production | presentation parts, A plurality of production parts other than the 1st production part and the 2nd production part are included. The production unit is formed by the production unit It may be.

  An example of such a form will be described based on Modification 1 shown in FIG. FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a first modification of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first modification includes a first position on the left and right upper side of the gaming board 2 of the gaming machine frame 3 and a second position at the center of the back of the gaming board 2. Operable between the second rendering portions 701 and 702 that can swing between the first corresponding position that constitutes the upper surface of the glass door frame 50 and the second corresponding position that protrudes from the upper surface of the glass door frame 50. It has the 1st production parts 711 and 712, and the 3rd production part 703 provided in the glass door frame 50 side so that operation is impossible. Then, after the left first effect unit 711 and the right second effect unit 701 have moved to the second position and the second corresponding position, the right first effect unit 712 and the left second effect unit 702 are in the second position. And by moving to the second corresponding position, a plurality of effect parts including the first effect parts 711, 712, the second effect parts 701, 702, and the third effect part 703 are displayed on the front surface of the circular shape in front view. A combined effect portion where the characters "" are displayed is formed.

  Moreover, in the said Example, the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C as a 1st production | presentation part, and the board side production bodies 311B and 311C as a 2nd production | presentation part adjoin mutually up and down when it sees from a predetermined viewpoint. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first effect units 711 and 712 and the second effect units 701 and 702 are (first It may be arranged so as to be spaced apart (up and down across the 3 effect section 703).

  Moreover, in the said Example, the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C as a 1st production | presentation part, and the board side production bodies 311B and 311C as a 2nd production | presentation part respectively face the 2nd position (2nd corresponding position) side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation modes of the first effect unit and the second effect unit are different from those of the first modification example. It may be different (for example, movement direction, movement angle, movement speed, etc.).

  Moreover, in the said Example and the modification 1, although the production | presentation part which can visually recognize characters, such as "super intense heat" and "V", was illustrated as a composite production | presentation part, this invention is not limited to this. , If the composite production part is formed by a plurality of production parts, it includes not only characters such as “super intense heat” and “V” but also symbols, numbers, figures, designs, designs, decorations, etc. It may be a thing which does not contain these (for example, the thing where the production part of predetermined shape (for example, circular, star shape, etc.) is formed by a plurality of production parts). Furthermore, it does not necessarily have to be a composite effect part that forms a single effect body by a plurality of effect parts. For example, the left half part of a character is formed by a plurality of first effect parts that are scattered, For example, the composite effect portion may be formed by forming the right half of the character by the second effect portion.

  Next, a second modification of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 is a timing chart showing a second modification of the present invention.

  In the said Example, when the 1st effect apparatus 300 operate | moved in the movable effect, the 2nd effect device 400 and the 3rd effect device 500 illustrated the form which does not operate | move, For example, as shown in FIG. At the interlock start timing T3, the second effect device 400 and the third effect device 500 may be operated in conjunction with the first effect device 300. By doing so, the production effect is further improved.

  Further, when the glass door frame 50 is opened during the period in which the second effect device 400 or the third effect device 500 is operating in conjunction with the movable effect by the first effect device 300, the first effect is generated at the opening timing T4. You may make it stop operation | movement of the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C as a part, and the board side production bodies 311B and 311C as a 2nd production part. By doing so, the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C do not move even though the movement of the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C is stopped by opening the glass door frame 50. By being executed, it is possible to suppress the player from feeling uncomfortable.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C of the 1st production | presentation apparatus 300 were coat | covered with the display window 60 for production, it was set as the structure which cannot be touched from the outside, Of the first effect unit and the second effect unit, the first effect unit may be provided so as to protrude outward from the pachinko gaming machine 1. In this case, if the glass door frame 50 is opened in a state in which the first effect portion protrudes, there is a possibility that the protruded first effect portion may come into contact with surrounding structures or people such as adjacent pachinko gaming machines and game devices. Since there is a danger, when the glass door frame 50 is opened during the period in which the first effect unit is projecting, it is preferable to interrupt and stop the projecting operation of the first effect unit.

  Here, the second effect unit is on the gaming machine frame 3 side and does not protrude outward, but when the projecting operation of the first effect unit is stopped, the movable effect interruption flag is set, In response to this, the operation of the second effect section is also stopped, so that it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable by executing an inappropriate effect.

  In addition, the second effect device 400 and the third effect device 500 that are linked to the movable effect of the first effect device 300 are on the gaming machine frame 3 side and do not protrude outward. It is possible to continue the operation without stopping according to the stop of the operation of the 1 staging device 300.

  In the second modification, when the glass door frame 50 is opened during the operation period of the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C, the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect body 311B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and according to the opening of the glass door frame 50, the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C are illustrated. It is also possible to return to the origin position immediately after stopping the operation. Further, in this case, not only the projecting operation period of the first effect unit, but also when the glass door frame 50 is opened in the projecting state, it can be returned to the origin position, so that the projecting first effect unit is Contact with surrounding structures and people can be avoided.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 performs the movable effect immediately before executing the decisive notification of the big hit or loss in the execution period of the super reach β effect executed during the change display period based on the super reach β change pattern. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but other timings in the execution period of the super reach β production (for example, the timing when reach is established, the timing when the super reach is developed) The timing may be started at the timing of executing the definite notification effect.

  Moreover, in the said Example, CPU120 for production | presentation control illustrated the form which starts the said movable production | presentation when it arrived at the timing just before performing fixed alerting | reporting, but this invention is not limited to this, For example, immediately before the confirmation notification is executed, the movable effect may be started at the timing when the operation is detected during the operation effective period of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A.

  Furthermore, the movable effect is executed not only during the execution period of the super reach β effect, but also, for example, in an effect other than the movable effect (for example, a notice effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit, a reach effect, a pseudo-ream effect, or a big hit) Round number notification effect to notify the number of rounds, promotion notification effect to notify the transition to the high probability state after the jackpot end, control to the high probability state in the state where the transition to the high probability state is not notified after the jackpot end It may be executed at various timings in a latent notification effect that suggests the possibility of being present).

  In the embodiment, in the movable effect based on the pattern C described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20, the frame-side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side effect bodies 311B and 311C are simultaneously moved to the second position at the timing T3. (Second corresponding position) and the third position (third corresponding position) is moved to form a character of "super intense heat" at a stretch, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, The frame-side effects body 301C and board and the board-side effects body 301C and board are moved to the second position (second corresponding position), paused, and after a predetermined time has elapsed since the pause. The side effect body 311C may be moved to the third position (third corresponding position).

  That is, the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C may be moved stepwise (step-up manner). In addition, for example, when the reach is established, the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C are moved to the second position (second corresponding position) and temporarily stopped, and the frame side effect bodies are produced during the reach effect. Each movement timing may be made different, such as moving 301C and the board side production body 311C to a 3rd position (3rd corresponding position).

  Further, before the movement of the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C is started, the frame side effect bodies 301B and 301C and the board side effect bodies 311B and 311C are vibrated or the frame side character LED 350A is used. , 350B, 350C, board side character LED 360A, 360B, 360C, frame side background LED 351A, 351B, 351C, board side background LED 361A, 361B, 361C, etc. You may make it perform operation | movement.

  Moreover, in the said Example, in the movable production | presentation based on the pattern C demonstrated in FIG.19 and FIG.20, frame side production | presentation body 301B, 301C and board | board side production | presentation body 311B, 311C are put into a 2nd position (2nd correspondence). Position) and the third position (third corresponding position) are exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the frame-side effect body 301B and the board-side effect corresponding to “geki”. After the body 311B is first moved to the second position (second corresponding position), the frame-side effect body 301C and the board-side effect body 311C corresponding to “super” are immediately moved to the third position (third corresponding position). You may make it move to.

  Further, after moving the frame side effect body 301B to the second corresponding position, the board side effect body 311B is moved to the second position, and after moving the frame side effect body 301C to the third corresponding position, the board side effect body 311C is moved to the second position. Each frame side effector and the board side effector may be moved alternately, such as moving to three positions. That is, the interlocking of the first effect unit and the second effect unit does not necessarily have to operate together (simultaneously or simultaneously).

  In the embodiment, as the special effect in the movable effect, the frame-side background LED 351A, 351B, 351C and the board-side background LED 361A, 361B, 361C cause the second region Z2 to emit light, and the effect display device 5 performs cut-in. Although the form of the effect of displaying an image has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect aspect of the special effect can be variously changed, and an effect using an effect device other than the above may be used. . Specifically, first effect means (for example, frame side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C) provided in the first effect portion and second effect means (for example, board side background LEDs 361A, 361B, provided in the second effect portion) 361C) is not limited to the effect, and an effect using effect means (for example, effect display device 5) provided in addition to the first effect unit and the second effect unit may be used.

  Further, according to the embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 as the control means for controlling the operation of the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 is the non-detection operation control and the detection operation as the first operation control. Control, operation control for actual operation confirmation as second operation control for confirming that the movable body can operate normally, and third operation control for performing a movable effect and a movable body effect by the movable body, When the operation control for actual operation confirmation is executed, the first speed is within the range of the minimum speed (low speed) and the maximum speed (high speed) as the second speed faster than the minimum speed. When the control is performed so that the movable body operates at the speed, and the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control is executed, the movable body operates at a speed equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control as the second operation control. Control to do.

  In this way, in the first operation control, the movable body operates at a speed at which it can be stopped at any timing, and thus can be safely positioned at the origin position. Specifically, in non-detection operation control and detection operation control, the distance to move the movable body to the origin position may be shorter than in actual operation confirmation operation control. By making the maximum speed in the operation control the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation, the detected part can be detected reliably by the detecting means, and the movement is restricted while the movable body is moved at a high speed. It can avoid being damaged by impact.

  When performing non-detection operation control or detection operation control, when controlling the movable body to operate at a speed lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control, The control speed set when executing the operation control and the minimum control speed set in the action control for actual operation confirmation may be the same control speed or different control speeds.

  In addition, when performing the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, the effect control CPU 120 always has a preset single (constant) operation speed, that is, always the lowest speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control. Then, the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 are controlled to operate. By doing in this way, the speed at the time of positioning the 1st effect apparatus 300 or the 2nd effect apparatus 400 in an origin position can be made constant, and the 1st effect apparatus 300 and the 2nd effect apparatus 400 are damaged. Can be prevented.

  Further, when performing the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, the effect control CPU 120 performs the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 at the lowest speed (first speed) in the actual operation confirmation operation control. Control to work. In this way, the speed is excessively lowered while ensuring the safe operation of the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 (for example, a speed slower than the minimum speed in the action control for actual operation confirmation) By selecting the highest speed (first speed) that can be operated safely without the above, the period of non-detection operation control and detection operation control can be shortened.

  In addition, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state (ON) in S104 in the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 executes non-detection operation control in S105 to S114, and the origin detection sensor is detected in S104. When it is in the detection state, the operation control at the time of detection of S120 to S128 is executed, and when the operation control at the time of non-detection is executed, control is performed so that the movable body operates at the lowest speed in the operation control at the time of detection.

  By doing in this way, the presence or absence of a defect of each origin position sensor can be grasped by non-detection operation control or detection operation control. In addition, when performing non-detection operation control, it is unclear whether or not the movable body is near the origin position, whereas when performing detection operation control, the movable body is in the origin position. Therefore, the operation control at the time of detection may be performed at a speed faster than the operation control at the time of non-detection, which is lower than the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation.

  Further, the production control CPU 120 determines that the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state in step S109 in the second initialization process when a specific abnormality (for example, an operation abnormality that occurred during execution of the production) has occurred. Until the number of motion error determinations reaches “3”, the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 are controlled to move toward the origin position at the lowest speed in the action control for actual operation confirmation.

  By doing in this way, also in the operation at the time of abnormality performed when the specific abnormality (for example, errors, such as operation abnormality which occurred at the time of execution of an effect) has occurred, the 1st effect device 300 and the 2nd effect The device 400 can be operated safely. Specifically, for example, when an operation abnormality occurs during the performance, when the second initialization process is performed after that, the movable body has not returned to the origin position, so the non-detection operation control is executed. Will be. Further, when an operation abnormality occurs, it is considered that the movable body does not operate even in the second initialization process. Therefore, as the operation at the time of abnormality, the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 2 are operated at the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control. The rendering device 400 is controlled to operate in the direction of the origin position.

  In addition, when there is an operation error storage of the target accessory in step S201 in the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 proceeds to S220 and does not perform the actual operation check operation control.

  By doing so, it is possible to prevent the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 from stopping at a position other than the origin position during the actual operation check operation control due to an abnormality. Specifically, for example, if an operation abnormality occurs during the performance, it is considered that the movable body does not operate even in the second initialization process. It is preferable not to execute the operation control for actual operation confirmation because only a load is applied to the driving means.

  Moreover, it has the 1st production | presentation apparatus 300 and the 2nd production | presentation apparatus 400 as a 1st movable body, and the 3rd production | presentation apparatus 500 as a 2nd movable accessory, and CPU120 for production control is in a 2nd initialization process. In step S102, when it is determined that the movable body is the origin detection target movable body that needs to perform the origin detection, the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control and the actual operation confirmation operation control are executed, If it is determined in step S102 that the movable body is not an origin detection target movable body that requires origin detection, the process proceeds to step S130 and the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control are not performed.

  By doing so, it is possible to perform the operation control for actual operation confirmation only for the necessary movable body, and it is possible to shorten the operation confirmation time by the operation control for actual operation confirmation.

  Moreover, it has the 1st effect apparatus 300 as a 1st movable body, the 2nd effect apparatus 400, and the 3rd effect apparatus 500 as a 2nd movable accessory, and CPU120 for effect control is the 1st effect apparatus 300, When performing the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation of each of the second rendering devices 400, control is performed so that the movable body operates at the minimum speed in each actual operation check operation control. The operation speed of the actual operation check operation control is different between the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400.

  By doing in this way, the period of non-detection time operation control and detection time operation control can be shortened, ensuring the safe operation of each movable body by the operation speed according to each movable body. For example, in the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400, even if the same control speed is set in the operation control for actual operation confirmation, the size, weight, operation mode, operation distance, drive mechanism of each movable body When there is a difference, the actual operation speed of each movable body when the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control are executed is different.

  Specifically, in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, even when the same control speed (minimum control speed set in the actual operation confirmation operation control) is set, the weight among the plurality of movable bodies. The actual operation speed of the movable body having a large value is slower than the actual operation speed of the movable body having a small weight. Further, when the movable body is raised, the actual operation speed is slower than when the movable body is lowered. In addition, when a spring or the like that biases the movable part in the effect direction is provided as the drive mechanism, when the spring is contracted and moved in a direction against the biasing force, the biasing force is in a state where the spring is extended. The actual operation speed is slower than when moving in a direction against the above. Thus, in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, when controlling the movable body so that the movable body operates at a speed equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control, the size of each movable body, In consideration of weight, operation mode, operation distance, drive mechanism, etc., it is preferable to set an individual minimum control speed in each actual operation check operation control.

  For example, the first movable part and the second movable part are arranged in front and back so that the second movable part overlaps the front side of the first movable part when viewed from the player when moving toward the origin position. In the case of performing any one of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control, when performing the operation control of both the first movable unit and the second movable unit together, It is preferable to control the operation speed (minimum speed) of the first movable part and the second movable part to be different. By doing so, the power source is set to the detection state in a state where the first movable portion and the second movable portion have moved to positions away from the origin position for some reason, and in the second initialization process of S51 When the non-detection operation control of both the first movable part and the second movable part is performed together, the operation speed (minimum speed) of both the first movable part and the second movable part is controlled to be the same. Then, although the situation in which the first movable part is hidden by the second movable part and moves to the origin position becomes difficult to see, the first movable part and the second movable part are controlled so that the minimum speeds are different from each other. Since the movable part and the second movable part move when moving, it becomes easy to confirm the origin return operation of each of the first movable part and the second movable part.

  Further, even when the first movable part and the second movable part larger (or longer) than the first movable part are included, the operation speed (minimum speed) of the first movable part and the second movable part is different. It is preferable to control. In this way, for example, the minimum in any one of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control of the first movable unit which is smaller (or shorter) than the second movable unit and is not noticeable. Since the speed is larger (or longer) than that of the first movable part, it is made slower than the minimum speed in any one of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control of the second movable part that stands out. It becomes easy to confirm the operation of each of the first movable part and the second movable part.

  As described above, when the first movable portion and the second movable portion different from the first movable portion are provided, the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation of the first movable portion and the second movable portion, respectively. It is preferable to perform control so that the operation speed (minimum speed) in the operation control for operation confirmation is different. In addition, when controlling so that the operation speed (minimum speed) of the 1st movable part and the 2nd movable part differs in this way, operation control at the time of non-detection and operation control at the time of detection of each of the 1st movable part and the 2nd movable part And the minimum control speed set in the operation control for actual operation confirmation may be different or the same.

  Moreover, in the said Example, as an example of a movable body, the frame side production bodies 301B and 301C and the board side production bodies 311B and 311C in the 1st production | presentation apparatus 300 which can be rotated between an origin position and production positions, and an origin Although the form which applied the 2nd production apparatus 400 which can move linearly between a position and production positions and the 3rd production apparatus 500 which can be rotated centering on a rotating shaft was illustrated, this invention is limited to this. It is not a thing, but the operation | movement aspect (for example, a moving direction or a rotation direction) and the number of installation of these movable accessories are not restricted to the above, but can be variously changed. Moreover, you may apply the movable body which operate | moves with an operation | movement aspect other than the above.

  Moreover, in the said Example, the 1st effect apparatus 300 and the 2nd effect apparatus 400 which can operate | move between an origin position and an effect position as an origin detection object movable body are applied, and a 3rd effect apparatus is as an origin non-target object. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the movable body 501 is also applicable to a movable accessory such as the third effect device 500 that does not operate between the origin position and the effect position. The origin position may be set as the origin detection target movable body by setting the origin position as the rotation position.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control is executed as the first operation control for one movable accessory in the second initialization process. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least only non-detection operation control may be executed. When only non-detection operation control can be executed, the non-detection operation control does not have to be executed when a movable accessory is detected by the origin detection sensor in the second initialization process.

  In the embodiment, when the performance control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control, the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control is set. Although a mode in which the movable accessory is controlled to operate at the same speed has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the actual operation as the second operation control in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control. It is only necessary to control the movable accessory to operate at a speed lower than the minimum speed in the operation control for operation confirmation. For example, the movable accessory operates at an operation speed slower than the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation. You may control to.

  In the above-described embodiment, the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control that is the first operation control is always movable at a preset single operation speed (the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control). The mode is illustrated in which the accessory is operated, that is, the movable accessory is controlled to always operate at a constant speed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, when returning to the origin position. Alternatively, control may be performed so that the operation is performed at a speed lower than the minimum speed by gradually decelerating from the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation. In other words, in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control that is the first operation control, if the speed is lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control, the speed is varied in a predetermined movement period. Also good.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control that is the first operation control, the operation of the movable accessory is performed at the same operation speed (the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control). Although the form to control was illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the maximum speed in the non-detection operation control is controlled to be equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the detection operation control. For example, the movable accessory may be operated at different operation speeds in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when a specific abnormality such as an error has occurred, when the movable accessory is not detected by the detection means, that is, the origin detection sensor detects in step S109 in the second initialization process. If it is not in the state, the control for moving the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 toward the origin position direction is repeated at the lowest speed in the action control for actual operation confirmation until the operation error determination count reaches “3”. Although the form to perform was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The speed is lower than the minimum speed in the operation control at the time of detection, for example, a special speed that is set for an error and a low speed at which a relatively large torque can be obtained. You may make it control so that a movable accessory may operate | move at speed.

  In the above embodiment, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state in step S124 in the second initialization process, that is, when the movable object to be operated is not located at the origin position (initial position). The processes of S122 to S127 are repeated until the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, based on the set process data, the movable accessory based on the minimum control speed set in the actual operation check operation control. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state in step S124 in the second initialization process, the time is Executes non-detection motion control to move the movable accessory from the base to the home position based on the minimum control speed set in the actual motion check motion control. It may be so that.

  Further, in the embodiment, the first effect device 300, the second effect device 400, and the third effect device 500 are provided as the plurality of movable bodies, and the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control are performed in the second initialization process. In addition, although the first effect device 300, the second effect device 400, and the third effect device 500 are exemplified as the movable body that is the execution target of the operation control for actual operation confirmation, the present invention is limited to this. In the second initialization process, the movable actors to be subjected to the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control are the first rendering device 300, the second rendering device 400, For example, in the case of having a plurality of movable parts that can operate one movable body, such as the third effect device 500, when the movable body has a plurality of movable parts, each of these movable parts is controlled to be non-detection operation control, Operation control at detection, actual operation The execution target of confirmation operation control, sequential non-detection operation control each movable portion, the detection operation control, may be caused to operate the control check actual operation.

  In the embodiment, in the operation control for confirming the actual operation in the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 accelerates and decelerates the movable accessory in each of the forward operation and the backward operation, so that the low speed → high speed → low speed → Although an example of controlling to stop is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation speed in the operation control for the movable body effect and the operation control for the actual operation confirmation is controlled in the above-described form. For example, it may be controlled to repeat a low speed and a high speed a plurality of times such as low speed → high speed → low speed → high speed → low speed → stop, and the operation speed changes in the order of low speed → medium speed → high speed. You may control as follows.

  Further, control may be performed so that the change mode and the minimum speed of the operation speed are different between the forward operation and the reverse operation. If the minimum speed is different between forward operation and reverse operation, the maximum speed in non-detection operation control or detection operation control is set to the lower speed of forward operation and reverse operation in actual operation check operation control. What is necessary is just to set so that it may become the speed below the minimum speed.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the operation control for actual operation confirmation in the second initialization process, the presentation control CPU 120 exemplifies a form of performing control to change the operation speed by accelerating and decelerating the movable body. The invention is not limited to this, and the movable body may be controlled to operate at a single operating speed. When the movable body is controlled to operate at a single operation speed in this way, the single operation speed is the lowest speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control. What is necessary is just to set the maximum speed in operation control so that it may become the speed below this minimum speed.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the non-detection operation control and detection operation control as 1st operation | movement were illustrated in the 2nd initialization process which is the time of starting of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the present invention illustrated It is not limited to this, but timing other than at the time of activation (for example, after execution of error processing including an accessory error or other various errors, at the start of symbol variation, or after execution of a movable accessory effect) You may make it perform in.

  Moreover, in the said Example, operation control at the time of non-detection or operation control at the time of detection is carried out in order of the 1st effect device 300-> 2nd effect device 400-> the 3rd effect device 500 as order data of the movable accessory in the 2nd initialization processing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the order is arbitrary. As described above, each operation is executed in an order other than the above. You may do it. Further, any one of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control for two or more movable objects out of the plurality may be executed together in parallel.

  Further, although the mode in which the operation control for actual operation confirmation is executed after the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control is executed for all the movable bodies is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this. After performing the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control and the actual operation confirmation operation control of the movable body, the other non-detection operation control or the detection operation control and the actual operation confirmation operation control are executed. You may do it.

  In the above-described embodiment, the actual operation confirmation process data is exemplified by the description of the same operation content as the actual production operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As the operation control for actual operation confirmation, as long as all the operations of the operation speed in the actual performance are included, the operation may not be completely the same, for example, a plurality of performance operations in which some of the operations are different. If there is, it may be the process data for actual operation confirmation describing the operation exclusively for confirmation incorporating all of the plurality of different rendering operations.

  In the above-described embodiment, the operation error determination number in S113, S127, and S213 is exemplified as “3”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation error determination number is “3”. The number of times of operation error determination in S113, S127, and S213 may be set differently.

  In the above-described embodiment, the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control are exemplified in the second initialization process. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the execution timing of the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control can be arbitrarily set. For example, after the end of the movable body effect, when the symbol variation display is started, or when the demonstration effect is executed. It may be executed when it is done.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as an example of the gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined number of gaming balls are inside the gaming machine. The number of loaned balls that are enclosed in a circulating manner and lent in response to a loan request by a player and the number of prize balls that are awarded in response to winnings are added, while the number of game balls used in the game is subtracted. The present invention can also be applied to so-called enclosed game machines that are stored in the memory. In these enclosed game machines, not the game ball but points and points are given to the player, so these points and points assigned correspond to the game value.

  In the embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine is applied as an example of a gaming machine. However, for example, a game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using a gaming value. At the same time, one game is completed by deriving a variation display result to a variation display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols that can be identified, and a prize is awarded according to the variation display result derived to the variation display device. This can also be applied to a slot machine that can generate

  Specifically, when the present invention is applied to a slot machine including a housing and an opening / closing door that can open and close the front surface of the housing, for example, a first effect unit is provided in the housing as the first member, and the second While providing the 2nd production | presentation part in the opening / closing door as a member, the 1st production part and the 2nd production part are made visible from the visual recognition window provided in the opening / closing door. What is necessary is just to make it change from the said 1st state to the said 2nd state, and the composite production | presentation part which consists of a several production | presentation part containing the said 1st production | presentation part and the said 2nd production | presentation part may be formed.

  The open / close door is provided with a see-through window through which a reel provided in the housing can be seen through and a display area capable of displaying an image, and a front surface of the see-through window and the display area is made of a translucent member.
