Paradoxically, on the inner surface of the effect button 40k, a light traveling forward from the button light source 541, a light traveling in a direction parallel to the transparent plate 23t, and a portion excluding the game area specific part behind the button light source 541 The light shielding sheet 544 is not attached in the range where the light toward the light strikes. Therefore, while performing the light-emitting production which makes button lamp 54 light-emit, the button lamp 54 covers the main game area specific part in which the starting opening 11, 12 and the big winning opening 14 are formed among the game area 6 It is possible to prevent the board 23t from being illuminated and interfering with the game.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the effect button 40k is disposed at the center in the left-right direction of the vertically long rectangular transparent plate 23t. The button light source 541 is disposed at the center of the effect button 40k in plan view. Further, the light shielding sheet 544 is formed so as to be cut in a vertical plane passing a point set back by a predetermined distance D0 from the straight line X0 in the left-right direction passing the center C0 of the effect button 40k in plan view. The predetermined distance D0 is set, for example, in the vicinity of the boundary of whether or not the player of a general height sitting in a normal posture before the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can view the apex portion of the light shielding sheet 544. ing. This is to prevent the designability of the effect button 40k from being lowered by blocking the light emitted toward the game area specific part and seeing the light shielding sheet 544 from the player.

  The shapes and positions of the effect button 40k, the button light source 541, and the button cover member 542 are not limited to the above description. For example, the shape of the upper end portion of the effect button 40k and / or the button cover member 542 may be similar to the upper end portion of a cylinder or a prism. Further, although the button lamp 54 is provided on the upper tray 34, the effect button 40k may not be provided. Furthermore, the upper plate 34 may not be provided with the supply ball storage holes 34A.

  The effect button 40k and the button light source 541 are provided on the upper plate 34 projecting forward below the transparent plate 23t, but are not provided on the upper plate 34, and the transparent plate is provided on the front face of the front frame 23m. It may be provided directly around 23t. Alternatively, a protrusion may be provided on the front of the front frame 23m and around the transparent plate 23t so as to project forward, and the effect button 40k and the button light source 541 may be disposed on the protrusion.

  Further, the predetermined distance D0 to be set back from the straight line X0 of the light shielding sheet 544 may be appropriately set. Furthermore, although the predetermined distance D0 for setting back the light shielding sheet 544 from the straight line X0 is constant in the above description, for example, the predetermined distance D0 is different depending on the location, such as gradually or stepwise away from the vertex to both ends Also good. In addition, the light shielding member may be disposed in a range in which light directed from the button light source 541 to the specific area passes without covering the button light source 541 with the effect button 40k.

  Next, the frame movable device 55 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the frame movable device 55 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise when viewed from the side, in other words, a frame movable body 55k rotatable forward or backward in a front view, and a front frame A support member 55s fixed to 23 m (not shown) and supporting the frame movable body 55k, and a frame movable body motor 55m for rotating the frame movable body 55k are provided.

  The support members 55s are configured as a left and right pair. Specifically, the support member 55s has a left support member 55Ls disposed on the left side toward the left and a right support member 55Rs disposed on the right side toward the left. The left support member 55Ls fixed to the front frame 23m and the right support member 55Rs protrude forward. The movable frame motor 55m is provided at the lower end of the right support member 55Rs.

  The frame movable body 55k is generally formed in a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical axis of the frame movable body 55k is always orthogonal to the left and right direction, and is held along the front and rear direction in the non-actuated state. A pair of frame movable body rotation shaft portions 55A parallel to the left and right direction is formed to protrude on the side surface of the frame movable body 55k. The frame movable body rotation shaft 55A is formed along a horizontal line orthogonal to the cylindrical axis of the frame movable body 55k. The frame movable body 55k is supported by the left support member 55Ls and the tip of the right support member 55Rs via the frame movable body rotation shaft portion 55A. The frame movable body 55k is configured to be rotatable a plurality of times in the forward or backward direction with the frame movable body rotation shaft 55A as a rotation axis. The frame movable body 55k is disposed at the center in the left and right direction of the pachinko gaming machine PY1.

  The frame movable body 55k is rotatable, but is in a standby state in which the frame movable device 55 (including those constituting the frame movable device 55 such as the frame movable body 55k) in the state shown in FIG. It will be in the state. When the frame movable body 55k rotates as shown in FIG. 6B and rotates 180 degrees from the standby state as shown in FIG. 6C, the rear side surface hidden in the standby state is the front. Appears facing the The state shown in FIG. 6C is set as a first special state in which the frame movable device 55 (including the frame movable body 55k and the members that constitute the frame movable device 55) is in the operation position.

  In the following, when the frame movable device 55 (including the frame movable device 55 including the frame movable member 55k, etc. is included) is viewed alone, the position and the direction of the frame movable member 55k in the standby state are considered as a reference. That is, the surface facing forward in the standby state is the front surface of the frame movable device 55, and the surface of the frame movable body 55k facing the rear in the standby state is the rear surface of the frame movable device 55. The direction from the rear surface side to the front surface side in the standby state is referred to as the front of the frame movable device 55, and the direction from the front surface side to the rear surface in the standby state is the rear of the frame movable device 55. Further, the up, down, left, and right directions in the standby state are referred to as the up, down, left, and right directions of the frame movable device 55.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6C, the frame movable body 55k is provided on the front side of a cylindrical main body 90 which forms the main body of the frame movable body 55k, and can emit light. One-frame movable body lamp 91, a second frame movable body lamp 92 provided on the rear side of the main body 90 and capable of emitting light, and a blade member 93 provided between the main body 90 and the second frame movable body lamp 92 And. The number of blade members 93 is five. In addition, when the frame movable device 55 is in the standby state and in the first special state, the five blade members 93 are the main body 90 and the second frame movable body when viewed in the direction along the cylindrical axis of the frame movable body 55k. It is stored in a difficult-to-see manner between the lamp 92.

  Also, the frame movable body 55k is further operable from the first special state. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, in a front view, the second frame movable body lamp 92 rotates 90 degrees clockwise, and the five blade members 93 are 180 Appears to rotate. The state shown in FIG. 7C is set as a second special state of the frame movable device 55 (including the one that constitutes the frame movable device 55, such as the frame movable body 55k). The frame movable device 55 can not shift from the standby state to the second special state without passing through the first special state.

  Thus, the frame movable body 55k includes the lightable first frame movable body lamp 91 and the second frame movable body lamp 92, the operable second frame movable body lamp 92, and the blade member 93. ing. Next, a structure for transmitting a signal (hereinafter, referred to as a “specific signal”) for causing light emission or operation in this manner to the inside of the frame movable body 55k will be described. In addition, a specific signal is output from the presentation control board 120 attached to the back side of the image display apparatus 50 so that it may mention later.

  FIG. 8 is a side view of the frame movable device 55 in which the inside of the left support member 55Ls is seen through from the left side. The left supporting member 55Ls is electrically connected to the relay substrate 180 relaying a specific signal transmitted from the effect control substrate 120 described later, and the relay substrate 180, and three flexible substrates 551 capable of transmitting the specific signal. And are stored.

  The relay substrate 180 is installed in parallel with a base plane formed by two axes of the left support member 55Ls in the vertical direction and the front-rear direction. The three flexible substrates 551 are connected to the three connectors 181 mounted on the relay substrate 180. The three connectors 181 are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals in one direction so that the connected flexible substrates 551 overlap in the same direction. The three flexible substrates 551 emit light from the flexible substrate 551 for transmitting a signal for causing the first frame movable body lamp 91 to emit light to the first frame movable body lamp 91 and the second frame movable body lamp 92. Flexible substrate 551 for transmitting a signal for driving the second frame movable body lamp 92, and a flexible substrate for transmitting a signal for operating the second frame movable body lamp 92 and the blade member 93 to the blade member motor 93m It consists of 551 and.

  An internal space is formed in the left support member 55Ls, and a cable storage portion 552 for storing the flexible substrate 551, a cable guiding portion 553 for guiding the flexible substrate 551 from the relay substrate 180 to the cable storage portion 552, a frame movable body A cable fixing portion 554 is formed along the rotation axis at the tip of the rotation axis portion 55A to fix the flexible substrate 551. The frame movable body rotation shaft 55 </ b> A is rotatably inserted into the internal space of the cable storage 552. The distal end surface of the frame movable body rotation shaft 55A slightly protrudes from the base surface of the cable storage portion 552.

  The three flexible substrates 551 connected to the three connectors 181 along the surface of the relay substrate 180 are stacked in three between the relay substrate 180 and the cable guiding portion 553. Then, the flexible substrates 551 stacked on each other are twisted at 90 degrees and held in a state of being orthogonal to the bottom surface of the left support member 55Ls.

  The cable guiding portion 553 is disposed at two places so that the three flexible substrates 551 are gently bent at 90 degrees from the relay substrate 180 toward the cable storage portion 552. The cable guiding portion 553 is formed with a cable insertion portion 571 for inserting and holding the flexible substrate 551.

  The cable storage portion 552 has a guide member 581 vertically erected from the base surface of the left support member 55Ls. The guide member 581 constitutes an outer peripheral portion of the cable storage portion 552. Moreover, although the guide member 581 is formed in a substantially circular shape, it is not closed. The tips of the guide members 581 are adjacent to each other at a predetermined distance, and a gap of about 3 mm is formed between the tips. The gap forms an inlet 582 for guiding the three flexible substrates 551 together into the inside of the cable storage portion 552. The three flexible substrates 551 guided to the inlet 582 are fixed to the cable fixing portion 554 in a state of being wound up in multiple layers along the inner surface of the guide member 581.

  The cable fixing portion 554 is generally formed in a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical axis of the cable fixing portion 554 is orthogonal to the base surface of the left support member 55Ls, and coincides with the axis of the frame movable body rotation axis portion 55A described above, that is, the rotational axis of the frame movable body 55k. In other words, the cable fixing portion 554 is formed concentrically with the frame movable body rotation shaft portion 55A. The cable fixing portion 554 covers the tip of the frame movable body rotation shaft 55A.

  The height of the cable fixing portion 554 is slightly larger than the width of the flexible substrate 551. This is because the cable fixing portion 554 takes in and fixes the flexible substrate 551 inside.

  In addition, a cable lead-in portion 591 for guiding the flexible substrate 551 while drawing in the inside is provided at a predetermined position in the circumferential direction of the side surface of the cable fixing portion 554 over the entire length. The cable lead-in portion 591 is formed to extend in the radial direction centering on the cylindrical axis of the cable fixing portion 554. In the first embodiment, the radial direction in which the cable lead-in portion 591 is formed is parallel to the vertical direction of the frame movable device 55 in the standby state. Also, the cable lead-in portion 591 is formed to extend upward.

  At the tip of the cable lead-in portion 591, a cable lead-in port 592 is formed along the radial direction centering on the cylindrical axis of the cable fixing portion 554. The three flexible substrates 551 are drawn into and fixed to the inside of the cable fixing portion 554 through the cable inlet 592. Note that the three flexible substrates 551 that are pulled in are folded back at 90 degrees at a predetermined location inside the cable fixing portion 554. Then, the portion beyond the folded back portion is drawn into the interior of the frame movable body 55k from the tip of the frame movable body rotation shaft portion 55A through the inside.

  Further, at one end of the cable lead-in portion 591 divided by the cable lead-in port 592, a direction giving portion 593 is formed which gives a direction in which the flexible substrate 551 is taken up. Specifically, in a portion on the clockwise side of the cable lead-in 592 of the cable lead-in portion 591 in a side view, that is, a portion on the side where the frame movable body 55k rotates forward (hereinafter referred to as "forward direction"). An orientation portion 593 is formed.

  The directing portion 593 is formed to extend outward with respect to the cylindrical axis of the cable fixing portion 554 as a whole. Further, the directing portion 593 is formed in a curved shape. In detail, the directing portion 593 is formed in a curved shape such that the side where the cable lead-in 592 is formed with respect to the circumferential direction of the cylindrical cable fixing portion 554 is inclined. Furthermore, the tip of the directing portion 593 is located on the opposite side of the cable inlet 592 to the circumferential direction of the cylindrical cable fixing portion 554. In other words, the directing portion 593 intersects the radiation along the cable inlet 592.

  Thus, the proximal end (root) of the directing portion 593 is formed forward of the radiation along the cable inlet 592, and the distal end of the directing portion 593 is radiation along the cable inlet 592. The flexible substrate 551 protruding from the cable fixing portion 554 is prevented from moving in the forward direction relative to the radiation along the cable inlet 592 because the flexible substrate 551 protrudes from the cable fixing portion 554 because the flexible substrate 551 is located opposite to the forward direction. It can be directed to bend in the opposite direction to the forward direction. The flexible substrate 551 is bent in a curved shape in the direction opposite to the forward direction, so that when the frame movable body 55k rotates, the flexible substrate 551 is wound in a natural form along the rotation. As a result, damage to the flexible substrate 551 can be reduced.

  Further, since the tip of the directing portion 593 is formed in a curved shape, it is positioned radially outward from the tip of the cable lead-in portion 591 and abuts on the flexible substrate 551 there. Therefore, the flexible substrate 551 can be drawn into the inside of the cable fixing portion 554 in a gently curved shape. As a result, damage to the flexible substrate 551 can be reduced.

  Furthermore, the center of the cable storage portion 552 and the cylindrical axis (center) of the cable fixing portion 554 are shifted. The center of the cable storage portion 552 is located on the side where the directing portion 593 is inclined. Therefore, it is possible to secure a distance between a portion of the flexible substrate 551 which is wound along the cable storage portion 552 and a portion which is drawn in and fixed to the cable lead-in 592. As a result, since these two parts are loosely connected, it is possible to suppress damage to the flexible substrate 551.

  Further, as described later, the sub drive substrate 162 for rotating the frame movable body 55k is on the upstream side of the left support member 55Ls supporting the frame movable body 55k, specifically on the back side of the panel rendering unit EU. is set up. Therefore, a complicated signal is prevented from being transmitted to the inside of the frame movable body 55k through the cable fixing portion 554 accompanied by the rotation of the flexible substrate 551 and the frame movable body rotation shaft portion 55A, and the rotation operation of the frame movable body 55k It can be prevented from affecting.

  Although the thin film flexible substrate 551 is provided to rotate the frame movable body 55k, a linear cable may be used instead of the flexible substrate 551. The positions, shapes, and dimensions of the relay substrate 180, the cable storage portion 552, the cable guiding portion 553, and the left support member 55Ls of the cable fixing portion 554 may be appropriately set. For example, the shape of the cable fixing portion 554 is a semi-cylindrical shape. Specifically, in FIG. 8, the cable fixing portion 554 is formed on the right side half, and the flexible substrate 551 is disposed along the flat portion of the cable fixing portion 554. It may be done. In this case, the cable lead-in port 592 is not formed, and the flexible substrate 551 is exposed to the outside of the cable fixing portion 554. The cable fixing portion 554 may not fix the flexible substrate 551 as long as a portion of the flexible substrate 551 along the rotation axis of the frame movable body 55k can maintain the state along the rotation shaft. Further, the flexible substrate 551 on the opposite side of the frame movable body 55k with respect to the cable fixing portion 554 is not bent at a right angle in the cable fixing portion 554 but is bent at an angle different by 90 degrees, ie, the frame movable body 55k It may be bent so as to intersect the axis of rotation of. Furthermore, instead of bending, the height of the cable fixing portion 554 may be longer than that of the first embodiment, and may be held so as to be spirally wound around the cable fixing portion 554.

  Further, the shape of the inner surface (the surface on the counterclockwise direction) of the directing portion 593 is formed to be curved, and the inner surface is continuous with the inner surface of the cable lead-in portion 591 (the inner wall surface of the cable lead-in 592). The flexible substrate 551 may be disposed along the inner surface. That is, the tip of the directing portion 593 does not contact the flexible substrate 551 at a predetermined distance from the tip of the cable lead-in portion 591 but the entire inner surface of the directing portion 593 contacts the flexible substrate 551 You may do

  Furthermore, the cable lead-in portion 591 may not be provided on the side surface of the cable fixing portion 554, and the cable lead-in port 592 in which the cable lead-in portion 591 is cut out may be formed in the main body portion of the cable fixing portion 554. In this case, it is possible to provide the directing portion 593 on the side of the cable inlet 592 on the clockwise direction side.

  Next, the structure of the frame movable body 55k will be described. As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the movable frame 55k has a substantially cylindrical main body 90 and a first movable frame lamp 91 mounted on the front side of the main body 90. And a second frame movable body lamp 92 attached to the rear surface side of the main body 90, and five blade members 93 attached between the main body 90 and the second frame movable body lamp 92.

  The first frame movable body lamp 91 and the second frame movable body lamp 92 are formed in the same circular shape as the bottom surface orthogonal to the cylindrical axis C1 of the main body 90 in a front view. The first frame movable body lamp 91 and the second frame movable body lamp 92 are concentrically attached to the main body 90.

  The five blade members 93 are attached to the peripheral edge of the rear surface of the main body 90 at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. In addition, a second movable frame lamp 92 is attached to the rear surface side of the main body 90 with the five blade members 93 interposed therebetween. In the normal standby state, the five blade members 93 are stored and hidden between the main body 90 and the second frame movable body lamp 92.

  By the way, the five blade members 93 are connected to a mechanism 95 for rotating the blade members 93 (hereinafter, referred to as a “blade member operating mechanism 95”). The blade member operating mechanism 95 is constituted by the rear half of the main body 90, in other words, the half on the second frame movable body lamp 92 side. In addition, a second frame movable body lamp 92 is also connected to the blade member operating mechanism 95. Then, when the blade member 93 is rotated by the blade member operating mechanism 95, the second frame movable body lamp 92 is also rotated. That is, the blade member operating mechanism 95 simultaneously rotates the five blade members 93 and the second frame movable body lamp 92. A blade member motor 93 m serving as a driving source of the blade member operating mechanism 95 is attached to the front surface of the blade member operating mechanism 95. The rotating shaft of the blade member motor 93m extends rearward and is inserted into the blade member operating mechanism 95. The first half of the main body 90 except the blade member operating mechanism 95 supports the first frame movable body lamp 91 and functions as a base of the first frame movable body lamp 91. Are configured.

  The blade member operating mechanism 95 is composed of a mechanism main body 951 in which various components for operating the blade member 93 are stored, and a mechanism cover portion 952 which functions as a lid of the blade member operating mechanism 95. The mechanism main body 951 and the mechanism cover 952 both have a cylindrical shape with one end open as a whole. The mechanism main body 951 and the mechanism cover 952 face in the same direction at substantially the same height. The mechanism cover 952 is disposed toward the first frame movable body lamp 91 (front side), and the mechanism main body 951 is disposed toward the second frame movable body lamp 92 (rear side).

  As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the mechanism cover portion 952 is formed with a circular blade member motor insertion hole 952a through which the rotation shaft of the blade member motor 93m is inserted. Further, at the center of the mechanism cover portion 952, a circular attachment plate insertion hole 952b is formed in which a second frame movable body lamp attachment plate 963 described later is inserted. Further, a second rotation shaft portion insertion hole 952c is formed at a peripheral edge portion of the mechanism cover portion 952 at a predetermined interval, into which an end portion along a rotation axis of a second rotation gear 965 described later is inserted. Further, on the rear surface of the mechanism cover portion 952, that is, the surface of the mechanism cover portion 952 facing the mechanism main body portion 951, a pair of first locking portions 953d for locking a rotary plate 962 described later, and a second lock The portion 953 e is provided vertically. The first locking portion 953d and the second locking portion 953e are formed in the same shape, and the second locking portion 953e rotates the first locking portion 953d by a predetermined angle with respect to the center of the mechanism cover portion 952 It is formed at the position where

  Next, the mechanism main body 951 will be described. 12A to 12C are views of the mechanism main body 951 to which the blade member 93 is attached, viewed from the front side alone. Specifically, FIG. 12A is a view of the mechanism main body 951 viewed from the front in the first special state, and FIG. 12C is a view from the front of the mechanism main body 951 in the second special state. FIG. 12B is a view of the mechanism main body 951 as viewed from the front when it is in an intermediate state of transitioning from the first special state to the second special state.

  The mechanism main body 951 has a storage case 960 for storing and mounting various components for operating the blade members 93 while mounting the blade members 93, and five individual rotation mechanisms 961 for rotating the blade members 93 individually. A rotary plate 962 for simultaneously rotating the five individual rotation mechanisms 961 and a second movable frame lamp mounting plate 963 for mounting and fixing the second movable frame lamp 92 are provided.

  The storage case 960 is formed in a cylindrical shape whose front side is open. On a base surface facing the opening portion of the storage case 960, five individual rotation mechanisms 961 for rotating the five blade members 93 are provided. In the first special state of FIG. 12A, each blade member 93 (not shown) is completely hidden behind the storage case 960 and can not be viewed from the front. On the other hand, in the second special state of FIG. 12C, the wing members 93 appear outside the storage case 960 and are visible from the front. The individual rotation mechanism 961 will be described later.

  The rotary plate 962 is formed in a disk shape as a whole. The center of the rotary plate 962 coincides with the center C2 of the storage case (hereinafter referred to as "the second center C2"). That is, the rotary plate 962 is disposed concentrically with the storage case 960.

  For a blade member motor in which a gear (not shown) attached to the tip of the rotation shaft of the blade member motor 93m engages with a continuous 1⁄4 portion of the outer surface of the rotary plate 962, specifically, in the range of 90 degrees. A gear 970 is formed. Thus, the rotary plate 962 rotates about the second center C2 in accordance with the rotation of the blade member motor 93m. In the first embodiment, the rotary plate 962 can be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from the state shown in FIG. Conversely, the rotary plate 962 can rotate 90 degrees clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 12C.

  Here, the rotating plate 962 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 (A) and 13 (B). FIG. 13A is a view of the rotary plate 962 attached with the second frame movable body lamp attachment plate 963 as viewed from the front side, and FIG. 13B is a diagram showing the second frame movable body lamp attachment plate 963 attached It is the figure which looked at only the rotation plate 962 from the back side. On the opposite side of the center of the blade member motor gear 970 across the second center C2 on the outer periphery of the rotary plate 962, a locked piece 971 for locking the rotary plate 962 in the rotational direction is the outer side of the rotary plate 962. It is provided to project. In the first special state, the locked piece 971 is locked to the first locking portion 953 d. On the other hand, in the second special state, the locked piece 971 is locked to the second locking portion 953e.

  In addition, a circular second frame movable body lamp mounting plate 963 is concentrically mounted at a second center C2 at a central portion of the front surface of the rotary plate 962. A central hole 963 a is formed at the central portion of the second frame movable lamp mounting plate 963. Further, at the edge of the center hole 963a of the second frame movable body lamp mounting plate 963, a pair of opposing mounting pieces 963b are formed to extend toward the second center C2.

  Furthermore, a circular connection portion insertion hole 972 is formed concentrically at the second center C2 in the central portion of the rotary plate 962. The diameter of the connection portion insertion hole 972 is smaller than the diameter of the second frame movable body lamp mounting plate 963. Therefore, when viewed from the front side, the connection portion insertion hole 972 is covered by the second frame movable body lamp mounting plate 963.

  Here, as described later, a cylindrical second frame movable body lamp connection portion 960a is vertically provided at the center of the base surface of the storage case 960. The second frame movable body lamp connection portion 960a is formed with the second center C2 as a cylindrical axis. The inside of the second frame movable body lamp connection portion 960a penetrates in the column axis direction. A second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 formed in a second frame movable body lamp 92 described later is inserted into the inside.

  Then, the tip end portion of the second frame movable body lamp connection portion 960a is inserted into the connection portion insertion hole 972, and the tip end of the second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 inserted into the second frame movable body lamp connection portion 960a is It fixes in the state contact | abutted on the rear surface of the attachment piece 963b. That is, the second frame movable body lamp 92 is fixed to the second frame movable body lamp mounting plate 963. Therefore, with the rotation of the rotary plate 962, the second frame movable body lamp 92 also rotates around the second center C2, in other words, the cylindrical axis C1 of the main body 90.

  Further, the wiring for causing the second frame movable body lamp 92 to emit light is inserted into the second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 through the center hole 963 a and drawn into the second frame movable body lamp 92. Be

  Furthermore, in the vicinity of the connection portion insertion hole 972 of the rotary plate 962, five cam grooves 973 for each individual rotation mechanism 961 are formed in a twisted radial shape centered on the connection portion insertion hole 972. The inner wall surface of each cam groove 973 has a first straight portion 973A formed in a straight line at an end near the second center C2, and a second straight line 973C formed in a straight line at the opposite end. And an arc portion 973B formed in an arc shape between the first straight portion 973A and the second straight portion 973C.

  FIG. 14 is basically a view from which the rotating plate 962 and the second frame movable body lamp mounting plate 963 in FIG. 12C are removed. At the center of the base surface of the mechanism main body 951, a second frame movable body lamp connection portion 960a is vertically provided. The second frame movable body lamp connection portion 960a is formed in a cylindrical shape in which both ends along the cylindrical axis pass through. The second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 formed in the second frame movable body lamp 92 is inserted into the second frame movable body lamp connection portion 960a.

  Five individual rotation mechanisms 961 are installed side by side along the circumferential direction around the second frame movable body lamp connection portion 960a. The individual rotation mechanism 961 is provided between the storage case 960 and the rotary plate 962. A gap of several mm (for example, 1 to 2 mm) is formed between the individual rotation mechanism 961 and the storage case 960 and the rotary plate 962. Each individual rotation mechanism 961 is connected to one corresponding wing member 93. Further, each individual rotation mechanism 961 is connected to the rotary plate 962 by the corresponding cam groove 973. Specifically, sliding projections 974 included in the individual rotation mechanisms 961 are slidably fitted in the cam grooves 973.

  Since each individual rotation mechanism 961 has the same structure and exhibits the same behavior, the structure and behavior of the individual rotation mechanism 961 will be described using FIG. 15 illustrating one individual rotation mechanism 961 in addition to FIG. Do. 15 (A) to 15 (C) correspond to FIGS. 12 (A) to 12 (C), respectively, and one individual illustrated in FIGS. 12 (A) to 12 (C). It is the figure which expanded rotation mechanism 961. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the individual rotation mechanism 961 includes a first rotation gear 964 rotatable about the first rotation axis O1 and a second rotation gear 965 rotatable about the second rotation axis O2. And a torsion spring 966 rotatable about the third rotation axis O3. The first rotation axis O1, the second rotation axis O2, and the third rotation axis O3 are orthogonal to the base surface of the storage case 960.

  The first rotation gear 964 is a substantially semicircular plate-like member centered on the first rotation axis O1. The first rotation axis O1 is provided near the middle between the second center C2 and the outer periphery. A sliding protrusion 974 sliding on the cam groove 973 described above is provided perpendicularly to the first rotary gear 964 at the end on the clockwise side of the peripheral edge of the first rotary gear 964. The sliding projection 974 is formed in a cylindrical shape whose diameter is substantially the same as the width of the cam groove 973. In addition, a first tooth portion 975 is formed in the range of 90 degrees of the second half half on the counterclockwise direction on the outer side surface of the first rotating gear 964.

  The second rotation gear 965 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape as a whole along the second rotation axis O2. The second rotation axis O2 is provided at the peripheral portion of the storage case 960. The second rotation axis O2 is provided on a straight line connecting the second center C2 and the first rotation axis O1.

  A second toothed portion 976 is formed near the base surface of the storage case 960 near the middle in the height direction of the second rotating gear 965. The second toothed portion 976 is formed in a disc shape as a whole, and a gear meshing with the first toothed portion 975 is formed outward all around. In the first special state shown in FIG. 15A, the second toothed portion 976 is connected to the end portion of the first toothed portion 975 which is advanced in the counterclockwise direction.

  When the first rotation gear 964 is rotated counterclockwise from the first special state shown in FIG. 15A, the second tooth portion 976 is in a state of meshing with the first tooth portion 975 and is centered on the second rotation axis O2. Proceeding clockwise on the first toothed portion 975 while rotating around (see FIG. 15 (B)). Finally, when the first rotary gear 964 is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise around the first rotary axis O1, the second rotary gear 965 including the second tooth portion 976 is a clock around the second rotary axis O2. Rotate 180 degrees around. At this time, the first toothed portion 975 is connected to the end on the clockwise direction centering on the first rotation axis O1 (see FIG. 15C).

  Further, the end of the second rotary gear 965 which protrudes to the front side of FIG. 15 with respect to the second tooth portion 976 is inserted into the second rotary shaft insertion hole 952 c formed in the mechanism cover 952 It is done. On the other hand, the portion of the second rotating gear 965 that protrudes to the back side in FIG. 15 with respect to the second toothed portion 976 protrudes to the opposite side of the storage case 960. A wing member 93 is directly connected to the oppositely projecting portion. Thus, the blade member 93 rotates with the rotation of the second rotary gear 965.

  That is, when the first rotation gear 964 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise from the first special state, the blade member 93 rotates 180 degrees clockwise via the second rotation gear 965 and appears completely. It becomes special condition. On the other hand, when the first rotation gear 964 rotates 90 degrees clockwise from the second special state, the blade member 93 rotates 180 degrees counterclockwise through the second rotation gear 965 to completely hide the first special gear It becomes special condition.

  One end T 1 (hereinafter referred to as “rotation end T 1”) of the torsion spring 966 is fixed at a position slightly away in the clockwise direction from the first toothed portion 975 of the first rotation gear 964. On the other hand, the other end T2 (hereinafter, referred to as "fixed end T2") of the torsion spring 966 is fixed on the third rotation axis O3. The third rotation axis O3 is provided near a position advanced by a predetermined angle from the second rotation axis O2 in a counterclockwise direction around the second center C2.

  The arm angle in the natural state before the torsion spring 966 is attached is 180 degrees. However, when the torsion spring 966 is attached and placed in the standby state or the first special state, the wound portion of the torsion spring 966 faces the second rotation axis O2, that is, the opposite side to the traveling direction And the arm angle is held at about 120 to 150 degrees (see FIG. 15A). At this time, the rotation end T1 is a second rotation axis O2, that is, a traveling direction with a straight line X2 connecting the first rotation axis O1 and the third rotation axis O3 (hereinafter referred to as "second straight line X2"). It is located on the opposite side. Specifically, the rotation end T1 is disposed on a line obtained by rotating the second straight line X2 clockwise 45 degrees around the first rotation axis O1. The distance between the rotating end T1 and the third rotation axis O3 is the longest in this state, and the arm angle of the torsion spring 966 is the largest in this state. In such a first special state, the torsion spring 966 biases the first rotating gear 964 in the clockwise direction.

  Here, when the first rotation gear 964 rotates counterclockwise, the rotation end T1 is centered on the first rotation axis O1 in a range opposite to the second rotation axis O2 across the second straight line X2, Proceeding counterclockwise on the arc of a circle whose diameter is the distance from the first rotation axis O1 to the rotation end T1. With the rotation of the rotation end T1, the rotation end T1 gradually approaches the third rotation axis O3, and the arm angle of the torsion spring 966 gradually decreases. As described above, in a state in which the rotating end T1 travels in the range opposite to the second rotation axis O2 with the second straight line X2 interposed therebetween, the torsion spring 966 rotates the first rotation gear 964 clockwise. Energize.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 15B, when the rotation angle of the first rotary gear 964 from the first special state (FIG. 15A) becomes 45 degrees, the rotation end T1 reaches the second straight line X2 The distance between the rotation end T1 and the third rotation axis O3 is the shortest, and the arm angle of the torsion spring 966 is the smallest 90 degrees. At this time, the torsion spring 966 does not bias the first rotating gear 964 in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. That is, when the rotating end T1 reaches the second straight line X2, the inflection point in the direction of biasing by the torsion spring 966 is obtained.

  When the rotation of the first rotation gear 964 further progresses, the rotation end T1 advances in a range closer to the second rotation axis O2 than the second straight line X2. With the movement of the rotation end T1, the distance between the rotation end T1 and the third rotation axis O3 gradually separates, and the arm angle of the torsion spring 966 gradually increases. As described above, in a state where the rotation end T1 is advanced in the range closer to the second rotation axis O2 than the second straight line X2, the torsion spring 966 is biased in the direction to rotate the first rotation gear 964 counterclockwise. Do.

  Then, finally, as shown in FIG. 15C, when the rotation angle of the first rotating gear 964 from the first special state (FIG. 15A) becomes 90 degrees and the second special state is attained. The rotating end T1 has reached a position rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise from the second straight line X2 about the first rotation axis O1. In such a rotation completion state, the torsion spring 966 biases the first rotation gear 964 in a counterclockwise direction. Further, the distance between the rotation end T1 and the third rotation axis O3 at this time and the arm angle of the torsion spring 966 are the same as in the first special state (FIG. 15A). That is, when the first rotation gear 964 is in the standby state before rotation and in the rotation completion state after 90 degrees rotation, the distance between the rotation end T1 and the third rotation axis O3 is the longest and the arm angle of the torsion spring 966 is the largest. .

  As described above, the distance between the rotation end T1 and the third rotation axis O3 is the largest in the first special state, and gradually approaches as the rotation of the first rotation gear 964 progresses, and the first rotation gear 964 is A half rotation with respect to the maximum rotation angle is performed, and it is the closest when the rotation end T1 reaches the second straight line X2. Then, the distance between the rotation end T1 and the third rotation axis O3 gradually separates as the rotation of the first rotation gear 964 further progresses, and the first rotation gear 964 rotates at the maximum rotation angle, resulting in the second special state. It will be farthest again at that time.

  Further, the arm angle of the torsion spring 966 is maximum in the first special state, and gradually decreases as the rotation of the first rotation gear 964 progresses, and the first rotation gear 964 rotates by half with respect to the maximum rotation angle, It becomes smallest when the rotating end T1 reaches the second straight line X2. Then, the arm angle of the torsion spring 966 gradually increases as the rotation of the first rotation gear 964 further progresses, and the first rotation gear 964 is rotated by the maximum rotation angle, and the second special state is again the largest again. Become.

  The torsion spring 966 rotates the first rotation gear 964 clockwise while the rotation end T1 is disposed on the opposite side of the second rotation axis O2 with respect to the second straight line X2 which is the same as the first special state. In other words, the blade member 93 is urged to be held in the stored first special state. When the first rotation gear 964 rotates clockwise, the blade member 93 is accommodated. On the other hand, while the rotation end T1 is disposed on the same side as the second rotation axis O2 with respect to the second straight line X2 which is the same as the second special state (rotation completion state), the torsion spring 966 is the first rotation gear 964 In the counterclockwise direction, that is, the blade member 93 is biased in the direction of holding it in the second special state which has appeared. When the first rotation gear 964 rotates counterclockwise, the blade member 93 appears. In addition, when the rotating end T1 is disposed on the second straight line X2 to be in an intermediate state between the first special state and the second special state, the torsion spring 966 attaches the first rotary gear 964 in any direction. Reach an inflection point that does not turn.

  Here, as described above, the cam groove 973 is formed with the first straight portion 973A, the arc portion 973B, and the second straight portion 973C. Then, when the rotary plate 962 rotates, the sliding protrusion 974 moves along the cam groove 973. However, when the sliding projection 974 moves in the range of the first linear portion 973A and the second linear portion 973C, each first rotation gear 964 does not rotate via the sliding projection 974. On the other hand, when the sliding projection 974 moves in the range of the arc portion 973 B, the first rotating gear 964 rotates while receiving a load from the rotary plate 962 via the sliding projection 974.

  Thus, for example, when the sliding projection 974 is positioned within the range of the first linear portion 973A, the first rotary gear 964 receives no load from the rotary plate 962. Instead, the first rotary gear 964 is biased by the torsion spring 966 in the direction to accommodate the blade member 93. In that state, the blade member 93 is further rotated in the direction by the pair of locking projections 934 and the inner wall of the locking recess 977 described later, and the pair of blade member side projections 935 and the storage case side projections 978. Being blocked from doing. Therefore, the first rotary gear 964 biased to store the blade member 93 is kept in the state of being stored without being rotated. At this time, although the first rotation gear 964 is not rotating, the rotary projection 962 is rotating, so the sliding protrusion 974 relatively moves the cam groove 973 toward the opposite end. .

  Then, when the sliding projection 974 reaches the arc portion 973B, the first rotary gear 964 begins to receive a load from the rotary plate 962 and starts rotating, and along with the rotation, each blade member via the second rotary gear 965 93 also rotates and begins to appear. The first rotary gear 964 is urged by the torsion spring 966 in the direction to accommodate the blade member 93 until the rotary end T1 reaches the second straight line X2, but the sliding projection 974 follows the arc portion 973B. , And the blade member 93 rotates toward the second special state as the second rotary gear 965 connected to the first rotary gear 964 rotates. Rotate.

  Next, when the rotating end T1 reaches the second straight line X2, the direction in which the torsion spring 966 is biased is a point of inflection which switches from the direction in which the blade member 93 is accommodated to the direction in which the blade member 93 appears. Here, until the sliding projection 974 reaches the second straight portion 973C, the first rotary gear 964 is urged in the direction of causing the blade member 93 to appear by the torsion spring 966, but the sliding projection 974 is The blade member 93 appears along with the rotation of the second rotation gear 965 connected to the first rotation gear 964 because the first rotation gear 964 rotates along with the movement along the arc portion 973B. Rotate towards the second special state.

  Then, when the sliding projection 974 reaches the second linear portion 973C, the first rotary gear 964 again receives no load from the rotary plate 962. Here, since the first rotating gear 964 is biased in the direction of causing the blade member 93 to appear by the torsion spring 966, the first rotating gear 964 rotates in the direction of causing the blade member 93 to appear by the biasing force of the torsion spring 966. Do. With the rotation, the blade member 93 rotates toward the emerging second special state. In a state where the first rotary gear 964 does not receive a load from the rotary plate 962, the sliding projection 974 formed on the first rotary gear 964 ends in the second straight portion 973 C by the biasing force of the torsion spring 966. Move towards Finally, the blade member 93 rotates 180 degrees or more when the blade member 93 is rotated 180 degrees by the locking projection 934 and the inner wall of the locking recess 977, which will be described later, and the blade member side protrusion 935 and the storage case side protrusion 978. Being blocked from doing. At this time, the rotation of the first rotation gear 964 is also stopped.

  When the second special state shown in FIG. 15C is changed to the first special state shown in FIG. 15A, the first rotary gear 964, the blade members 93, the torsion spring 966, etc. Show the behavior of That is, when the sliding projection 974 at the end of the second special state shown in FIG. 15C from the second special state shown in FIG. 15A reaches the first linear portion 973A, the first rotation is performed. The gear 964 receives no load from the rotary plate 962. Here, since the first rotation gear 964 is biased in the direction to store the blade member 93 by the torsion spring 966, the first rotation gear 964 rotates in the direction to store the blade member 93 by the biasing force of the torsion spring 966. Do. With the rotation, the blade member 93 rotates toward the first special state to be stored. When the first rotary gear 964 does not receive a load from the rotary plate 962, the sliding projection 974 formed on the first rotary gear 964 ends in the first straight portion 973 A by the biasing force of the torsion spring 966. Move towards

  Next, the blade member 93 will be described. FIG. 16 (A) is a view from the rear side of the blade member operating mechanism 95 to which the blade member 93 is attached in the second special state, and FIG. 16 (B) is a blade member in the first special state. It is the figure which looked at the blade member operating mechanism 95 to which 93 was attached from the back side.

  The blade member 93 is entirely formed in a flat plate shape. The wing member 93 includes a connection portion 931 connected to the second rotation gear 965 described above, and a decoration portion 932 which is formed of the connection portion 931 and which appears to be illuminated by the light from the second frame movable body lamp 92; Have.

  The connection portion 931 has a substantially elliptical shape that is axisymmetric. The second rotation gear 965 is connected to the connection portion 931 such that the second rotation axis O2 is disposed at the center of the long axis portion and the short axis portion of the connection portion 931. The arc portion of the connection portion 931 has the same shape as that of the arc whose diameter is the same as the diameter of the storage case 960 and whose central angle is slightly larger than 60 degrees. The connection portion 931 is a portion which is not viewed from the front even in the first special state and the second special state.

  The decorative portion 932 has a shape in which a portion from the center of a fan-like shape whose diameter is about 25 mm longer than the diameter of the storage case 960 and whose central angle is slightly smaller than 60 degrees is equal to the length of the storage case 960 (Hereinafter, it is called "arch shape"). Hereinafter, the inner arc-shaped curved portion in this arch shape is referred to as "inner arc-shaped portion", and the outer arc-shaped curved portion is referred to as "outer arc-shaped portion". The decorative portion 932 is a portion completely viewed from the front in the second special state.

  The connection portion 931 and the decoration portion 932 are integrally formed. The decorative portion 932 is connected to one arc portion of the connection portion 931 at the inner arc portion. That is, the inner circular arc portion constitutes the boundary between the connection portion 931 and the decoration portion 932.

  Moreover, the blade member 93 is made of a transparent synthetic resin. Then, on the surface of the decorative portion 932 on the side of the storage case 960, reflective sheets 932s of silver color on both sides according to the shape are attached. This is for effectively reflecting the light emitted toward the blade member 93 as described later, and enhancing the effect of the light emission effect.

  Furthermore, many irregular reflection grooves 933 are formed on the surface of the decorative portion 932 on the second frame movable body lamp 92 side. The irregular reflection groove 933 has a V-shaped cross section and is formed along an arc centered on the second center C2. The irregular reflection groove 933 is formed by irregularly reflecting light emitted from the second frame movable body lamp 92 to the blade member 93, particularly to the decorative portion 932 as described later. This is to enhance the presentation effect.

  The blade member 93 configured as described above is rotatable around the second rotation axis O2. Then, in the second special state in which the rotation of the blade member 93 is finished, the blade member 93 is in a direction in which the inner arc portion of the decorative portion 932, ie, the boundary between the connection portion 931 and the decorative portion 932 is perpendicular to the blade member 93. In the state of overlapping with the outer periphery of the storage case 960. Thus, the decorative portion 932 appears outside the storage case 960.

  On the other hand, in the normal state (the standby state of the frame movable device 55 and the first special state) in which the wing members 93 are not rotated, as shown in FIG. The arc portion opposite to the portion 932 is held in a state of being overlapped with the outer periphery of the storage case 960 in the direction perpendicular to the blade member 93. Thus, the wing members 93 including the decorative portion 932 are hidden inside the storage case 960.

  When the blade member 93 is held in the normal state, the blade member 93 overlaps the adjacent blade member 93 at the end when viewed in the direction orthogonal to the blade member 93. This is because the blade members 93 are attached in a direction orthogonal to the adjacent blade members 93 and the blade members 93.

  Here, the arrangement of the five blade members 93 will be described in detail. Each of the five blade members 93 is generally formed into a shape having a central angle of approximately 60 degrees. The second rotation axis O2 of the blade member 93 is provided at every 60 degrees with respect to the circumferential direction around the second center C2. Therefore, when all the blade members 93 are rotated 180 degrees from the basic posture state to be in the second special state, the five blade members 93 are circumferentially arranged in the range of 300 degrees along the circumferential direction centering on the second center C2. Line up in the direction. On the other hand, in the range of 60 degrees along the circumferential direction around the second center C2, the blade member 93 is missing.

  Hereinafter, a range in which the blade member 93 is not formed along the circumferential direction centering on the second center C2 when the blade member 93 rotates is referred to as "blade member missing portion 93X". The blade member missing portion 93X is located at the lowermost portion of the circumference of the storage case 960, and is symmetrical with respect to a straight line in the vertical direction passing through the second center C2. The reason for providing the blade member missing portion 93X in this way is to ensure the visibility of the display unit 50a. The blade members 93 are referred to as the first blade member 93A, the second blade member 93B, the third blade member 93C, the fourth blade member 93D, and the fifth blade member 93E counterclockwise from the blade member missing portion 93X.

  Then, the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E, and the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D are respectively flush with each other in the axial direction of the second rotation axis O2. It is provided on top. Specifically, the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E are several millimeters (for example, 3 mm) from the surface of the storage case 960 with respect to the axial direction of the second rotation axis O2. The second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D are spaced apart from the first blade member 93A by several millimeters (for example, 3 mm) with respect to the axial direction of the second rotation axis O2. There is. Further, the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D are provided several millimeters (for example, 3 mm) away from the surface of the second frame movable body lamp 92 in the axial direction of the second rotation axis O2. There is.

  In addition, on the surface on the storage case 960 side of the connection portion 931 of the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E, a columnar locking projection 934 orthogonal to the surface is formed. There is. The locking convex portion 934 is a connection when viewed from the surface side on which the irregular reflection groove 933 is formed by arranging the decorative portion 932 of the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E outside. It is formed on the left of the second rotation axis O2 on the long axis of the portion 931. The distance between the second rotation axis O2 and the locking projection 934 is the same as the distance obtained by subtracting the distance from the second center C2 to the second rotation axis O2 from the outer diameter of the storage case 960. The cross section of the locking projection 934 is substantially square.

  Furthermore, on the surface facing the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E of the storage case 960, the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E are provided. A locking recess 977 is formed around a second rotation axis O2 and along an arc having a central angle of 180 degrees. The locking recess 977 is formed such that the chord of the arc is orthogonal to the straight line connecting the second center C2 and the second rotation axis O2, and the arc portion is directed radially outward. Further, the distance between the second rotation axis O2 and the locking recess 977 corresponds to the distance between the second rotation axis O2 and the locking protrusion 934. Furthermore, the width of the locking recess 977 is the same as the width of the locking protrusion 934.

  Thus, the locking convex portion 934 and the locking concave portion 977 are formed, and the locking convex portion 934 is rotatable along the locking concave portion 977. Then, when in the normal state, the locking projection 934 urged in the direction of being stored by the torsion spring 966 is locked to the inner wall of one end along the circumferential direction of the locking recess 977. . On the other hand, when in the second special state, the locking projection 934 biased in the direction in which it appears by the torsion spring 966 is locked to the inner wall of the other end along the circumferential direction of the locking recess 977 Ru.

  Further, on the surface on the storage case 960 side of the connection portion 931 of the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D, a columnar blade member side protrusion 935 orthogonal to the surface is formed. The blade member side protrusion 935 has the decoration portion 932 of the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D arranged outside, and viewed from the surface side on which the diffuse reflection groove 933 is formed, the second rotation axis O2 2 is formed extending toward the center C2.

  The cross section orthogonal to the 2nd rotating shaft O2 of the blade member side protrusion 935 is isosceles trapezoidal shape. The height direction of the isosceles trapezoidal cross-sectional shape of the blade member side protrusion 935 is parallel to the short axis direction of the connection portion 931. The upper base portion of the isosceles trapezoid is formed away from the second rotation axis O2, and the lower base portion is formed closer to the second rotation axis O2.

  In addition, storage is made to lock the blade member side protrusion 935 related to the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D on the surface facing the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D of the storage case 960 The case-side protrusion 978 is formed vertically. The storage case side protrusion 978 is formed along a circular arc whose center angle is about 170 degrees with the second rotation axis O2 as a center.

  Thus, the blade member side protrusion 935 and the storage case side protrusion 978 are formed, and the blade member side protrusion 935 is a portion other than the circular arc including the arc related to the storage case side protrusion 978 It can rotate along the Then, when in the normal state, the blade member side protrusion 935 biased in the direction to be stored by the torsion spring 966 is locked to the end surface of the storage case side protrusion 978 which is remote from the second center C2 . On the other hand, when in the second special state, the blade member side protrusion 935 is engaged with the end face of the storage case side protrusion 978 which is urged in the direction of appearing by the torsion spring 966 closer to the second center C2. Be done.

  As described above, when each blade member 93 shifts from the first special state to the second special state, the drive of the blade member motor 93 m is performed when the sliding projection 974 slides in the range of the arc portion 973B. When it is sliding by the range of the last 2nd linear part 973C, it rotates by the bias of the torsion spring 966. On the other hand, when moving from the second special state to the first special state, each blade member 93 is rotated by the drive of the blade member motor 93m when the sliding projection 974 slides in the range of the arc portion 973B. When it slides in the range of the last first straight portion 973A, it rotates by the bias of the torsion spring 966. As described above, since the rotation mode of each blade member 93 is changed by switching the drive source of the rotation of each blade member 93, the visual effect of the operation effect by the rotation operation of the blade member 93 is improved.

  Further, each blade member 93 is finally rotated by the torsion spring 966 and locked by the locking convex portion 934 and the inner wall of the locking concave portion 977 and the blade member side protrusion 935 and the storage case side protrusion 978 . Therefore, the rotational operation of each blade member 93 can be sharpened to improve the rendering effect. Furthermore, since a sound is produced when the locking convex portion 934 and the inner wall of the locking concave portion 977 or the blade member side protrusion 935 collides with the storage case side protrusion 978, a sense of reality is provided to improve the rendering effect. You can also.

  Furthermore, the five blade members 93 can be simultaneously rotated by the rotation of the single rotation plate 962 whose drive source is the blade member motor 93m. Here, in the section of the first linear portion 973A or the second linear portion 973C which is the final stage of the rotation operation, each blade member 93 receives no load from the rotary plate 962 and is attached to the torsion spring 966 indirectly connected. It is powered and rotates reliably. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the situation where the rotational motions of the five blade members 93 are not uniform due to manufacturing errors or time-dependent changes of the cam groove 973 and the sliding projection 974.

  The shape, the number, and the installation location of the blade members 93 can be appropriately set without being limited to the above description. Accordingly, the structure, the number, and the installation location of the individual rotation mechanism 961 can be appropriately set. Furthermore, the structure of the blade member operating mechanism 95 for rotating the blade member 93 can also be appropriately set as long as the five blade members 93 can be operated simultaneously.

  Next, the second frame movable body lamp 92 will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, the second frame movable body lamp 92 has a light source unit 921 as a light source and a storage member 922 for storing the light source unit 921.

  The storage member 922 is generally provided upright from the bottom of the circular flat plate 980 and the periphery of one surface of the bottom 980, and a dome for enhancing the decoration as the second frame movable body lamp 92 while protecting the inside And a second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 connected to the blade member operating mechanism 95 and serving as a rotation axis.

  The bottom portion 980, the decoration protection portion 981, and the second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 are all made of transparent synthetic resin. A colored synthetic resin member 981d representing a predetermined design (in the first embodiment, a heart) is provided on the entire surface of the decoration protection portion 981. Further, the second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and is vertically provided at the center of the surface of the bottom portion 980 opposite to the side on which the decorative protective portion 981 is formed. In detail, the second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 is formed concentrically with the bottom portion 980 at the center C3 (hereinafter, referred to as "third center C3") of the bottom portion 980. The hollow portion formed in the cylindrical axis direction of the second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 communicates with the inside of the storage member 922 as it is. That is, in the bottom portion 980, a hole is formed along the hollow portion of the second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982. A portion which is formed over the second frame movable body lamp rotary shaft portion 982 and the bottom portion 980 and which communicates from the inside to the outside of the storage member 922 is referred to as a wire insertion hole 922A. A wire for causing the light source unit 921 to emit light is inserted through the wire insertion hole 922A.

  The light source unit 921 is attached to the surface of the bottom 980 facing the decorative protection 981. Here, the light source unit 921 will be described with reference to FIG. The light source unit 921 includes a light source unit main body 983 mounting an element serving as a light source, and a plurality of light source elements 984 mounted on the surface of the light source unit main body 983 facing the decorative protection portion 981 (hereinafter And a plurality of light source elements 985 mounted on the surface of the light source unit main body 983 facing the bottom portion 980 (hereinafter referred to as “the light source element 985 for blades”). In the following, the surface of the light source unit main body 983 on which the light source element 984 for the second frame lamp is mounted is referred to as the “first surface”. Further, the surface of the light source unit main body 983 on which the blade light source element 985 is mounted is referred to as a “second surface”.

  The light source unit main body 983 is made of a general synthetic resin LED substrate that is commercially available, and is formed in a circle slightly smaller than the bottom 980. The light source unit main body 983 is disposed concentrically with the bottom 980 so that the center thereof coincides with the third center C3.

  Further, the light source element 984 for the second frame lamp and the light source element 985 for the blade are made of the same chip with a reflector, whose light emitting surface is rectangular in plan view. The types of light emitters constituting the second frame lamp light source element 984 and the blade light source element 985 are not particularly limited and may be set as appropriate. Also, not only LEDs but also other types of light emitters such as fluorescent lamps may be used for the second frame lamp light source element 984 and the blade light source element 985. In this case, the type of light source unit main body 983 is set according to the type of light emitter.

  Furthermore, the second frame lamp light source element 984 and the blade light source element 985 may be the same type of LED or different types of LEDs. In this case, when the type of the second frame lamp light source element 984 and the type of the blade light source element 985 are different, they may be integrated by using the light source unit main body 983 matched to each light source element 984 and 985.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the plurality of second frame lamp light source elements 984 are scattered over the entire first surface of the light source unit main body 983. The light source element 984 for the second frame lamp can emit light toward the decorative protection portion 981. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18B, the plurality of blade light source elements 985 have a predetermined distance along the circumferential direction centering on the third center C3 at the peripheral portion of the second surface of the light source unit main body 983. Are provided side by side. In addition, the light source element 985 for each blade is attached so that the short side direction follows radiation centered on the third center C3 (hereinafter, referred to as “specific radiation”). The blade light source element 985 can emit light toward the blade member 93 through the bottom 980.

  Here, the arrangement of the blade light source elements 985 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 18B, twenty light source elements 985 for blades are mounted on the light source unit main body 983. The blade light source elements 985 are disposed along the circumference of a predetermined radial length centered on the third center C3. In the first embodiment, the predetermined radial length is set to be 5 mm shorter than the radius of the light source unit main body 983.

  The twenty blade light source elements 985 form a group of four. Therefore, the light source unit main body 983 is provided with five groups of blade light source elements 985 configured by four blade light source elements 985. The group of light source elements 985 for each blade is organized in a range of 60 degrees along the circumferential direction of the circular light source unit main body 983. Therefore, the blade light source element 985 is not provided in the predetermined range of 60 degrees of the light source unit main body 983.

  Hereinafter, a range of 60 degrees along the circumferential direction of the light source unit main body 983 in which the blade light source element 985 is not provided will be referred to as “blade light source element non-mounting portion 985 X”. In addition, regarding the group of the light source elements 985 for each blade, the first blade light source group 985A, the second blade light source group 985B, and the third blade light source group 985C clockwise from the blade light source element non-mounting portion 985X. The light source group 985D for blades and the light source group 985E for fifth blades are referred to.

  The arrangement of the blade light source elements 985 in each of the blade light source groups 985A to 985E is relatively the same. Specifically, in each of the blade light source groups 985A to 985E, the blade light source elements 985 are disposed slightly inside of both ends along the circumferential direction in a range of 60 degrees along the circumferential direction of the light source unit main body 983 Two vane light source elements 985 are arranged at equal intervals between them.

  By the way, when changing from the first special state to the second special state, the second frame movable body lamp 92 rotates 90 degrees clockwise. When in the second special state, the first blade light source group 985A to the fifth blade light source group 985E face the first blade member 93A to the fifth blade member 93E. Similarly, in the direction perpendicular to the light source unit main body 983, the blade light source element non-mounting portion 985X and the blade member missing portion 93X face each other. Then, each of the first blade light source group 985A to the fifth blade light source group 985E emits light toward the first blade member 93A to the fifth blade member 93E which appear and can be visually recognized.

  In the standby state and the first special state, the first blade light source group 985A to the fifth blade light source group 985E, the blade light source element non-mounting portion 985X, and the first blade member 93A to the fifth blade member 93E and the blade member missing portion 93X do not face each other in a state of being aligned as in the second special state.

  Here, the description returns to the light source unit 921. In the bottom portion 980, a hole 986 having a rectangular shape in plan view is formed for each of the light source elements 985 for blades. Each long side portion of the hole 986 is orthogonal to the specific radiation. Further, in the direction perpendicular to the light source unit main body 983, the long side portion of the hole 986 which is farther from the third center C3 of the light source unit main body 983 and the long side portion closer to the third center C3 of the light source element 985 for blade And are roughly opposite. At the outer edge of the long side portion of the light source unit main body 983 far from the third center C3 of each hole 986, an inclined surface 987 rising outward in the radial direction is formed. The length in the long side direction of the hole 986 and the inclined surface 987 is 5 to 6 times the length in the long side direction of the light source element 985 for blade. Further, the center in the long side direction of the hole 986 and the inclined surface 987 and the center in the long side direction of the blade light source element 985 are located on the same specific radiation.

  Furthermore, three notches 988 are formed at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction of the bottom 980, specifically, every 60 degrees. The notch 988 is formed to have the same width within a range of 60 degrees with respect to the third center C3. The notch portion 988 faces the first blade light source group 985A, the third blade light source group 985C, and the fifth blade light source group 985E in the direction perpendicular to the light source unit main body 983. Further, the width of the notch 988 is 5 mm. That is, the notch 988 is formed to be set back to the side of the third center C3 by 5 mm with respect to the outer periphery of the bottom 980 in which the notch 988 is not formed.

  Thus, although the inclined surface 987 and the notch 988 are formed in the bottom 980, these are formed in order for the light source element 985 for blade | wings to light-emit the blade member 93 effectively. Next, the relationship between the light emitted from the light source element 985 for the blade, the inclined surface 987, and the notch 988 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 19A is a partial cross-sectional view of specific radiation passing through the center of the blade light source element 985 that constitutes the first blade light source group 985A. The partial cross-sectional view of FIG. 19A is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the light source element 985 for blades. 19A includes a light source unit main body 983, a bottom 980, a hole 986, an inclined surface 987, and a notch 988 in addition to the light source element 985 for a blade.

  An inclined surface 987 is formed on the outer side with respect to the third center C3 of the bottom 980 immediately above the light source element 985 for blade. The wing light source elements 985 can emit light three-dimensionally radially upward. In the following, the light emitted from the blade light source element 985 constituting the first blade light source group 985A is referred to as "first blade light source light".

  The first vane light source light obliquely enters the bottom 980, is refracted at the interface with the bottom 980, travels inside the bottom 980, and the angle of refraction at the inclined surface 987 is less than the critical angle Therefore, it enters into the air without reflection, or enters obliquely to the bottom 980, refracts at the interface with the bottom 980, and travels inside the bottom 980, but the angle of refraction at the inclined surface 987 is Some are reflected and travel back to the bottom 980 because they are above the critical angle. In addition, the light is obliquely incident on the bottom 980 and refracts at the interface with the bottom 980 to travel inside the bottom 980, but since the angle of refraction at the surface outside the inclined surface 987 is greater than the critical angle There are also those who go on the bottom 980 again.

  As described above, since the first vane light source light that travels into the bottom 980 and is refracted into the air since the refraction angle at the inclined surface 987 is less than the critical angle, the first blade member Some go towards the connection 931 of 93A. In addition, since the angle of refraction at the surface outside of the inclined surface 987 is less than the critical angle while it is reflected on the inclined surface 987 or the outer surface and advances to the bottom 980 again, it goes out into the air There is also one that travels toward the connection portion 931 of the first blade member 93A. Then, the first blade light source light traveling toward the connection portion 931 is refracted at the boundary surface of the connection portion 931 and is incident on the connection portion 931, travels inside the connection portion 931, and is opposite to the incident side. Since the refraction angle at the surface on the side is equal to or greater than the critical angle, there is also one that reflects and travels on the connection portion 931 again (hereinafter, this light is referred to as “first blade member traveling light”).

  In the first blade member traveling light, one having both a radial direction component and a circumferential direction component whose traveling direction is centered at the third center C 3 spreads radially from the connecting portion 931 toward the decorative portion 932 Proceed to Here, since the four blade light source elements 985 are provided side by side in the circumferential direction with respect to the first blade member 93A, light traveling toward the decorative portion 932 spreads throughout the interior of the decorative portion 932. Then, since the reflection sheet 932s is attached to the decoration portion 932, the light spreading to the entire inside of the decoration portion 932 is reflected by the reflection sheet 932s, and the decoration portion 932 of the appearing first blade member 93A is entirely Light emission (see FIG. 20).

  Furthermore, the first blade light source light that travels inside the bottom 980 but is reflected at the interface with air and travels back to the bottom 980 is finally reflected at the boundary with the notch 988 by repeating reflection and the like. Some are re-injected into the air from an outer surface. Among these, there is one further advancing toward the first blade member 93A from the outer side surface of the bottom 980. The position and refraction angle of the first blade light source light which is again incident on the air and directed to the first blade member 93A are various. Therefore, the first blade source light reaches various positions on the surface of the first blade member 93A along the specific radiation direction. As a result, the first blade member 93A is irradiated linearly along the specific radiation passing through the blade light source element 985 constituting the first blade light source group 985A (see FIG. 20).

  FIG. 19B is a partial cross-sectional view of specific radiation passing through the center of the blade light source element 985 that constitutes the second blade light source group 985B. The partial cross-sectional view of FIG. 19B is also an enlarged view of the vicinity of the blade light source element 985 as in FIG. 19A. 19B includes a light source unit main body 983, a bottom portion 980, a hole 986, and an inclined surface 987 in addition to the light source element 985 for a blade.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, since the notch 988 is not formed on the outer side along the specific radiation of the second blade light source group 985B, the thick portion of the bottom 980 is compared to FIG. 19A. Extend outward along the specific radiation. The light emitted from the blade light source element 985 constituting the second blade light source group 985 B (hereinafter referred to as “second blade light source light”) is the light from the bottom 980 as in the first blade light source light. There is something going inside. Therefore, the position and refraction angle of the light source light for the second blade emanating from the outer surface of the bottom 980 are various. Therefore, the light source light for the second blade arrives at various positions along the specific radiation direction on the surface of the second blade member 93B, similarly to the light source light for the first blade. As a result, the second blade member 93B is irradiated linearly along the specific radiation passing through the blade light source element 985 constituting the second blade light source group 985B (see FIG. 20).

  Further, similarly to the first blade light source light, the light source light for the second blade is refracted at the interface with the connecting portion 931 and is incident on the connecting portion 931, proceeds inside the connecting portion 931, and is incident Since the refraction angle at the surface on the opposite side to the one that is made is equal to or greater than the critical angle, there is also one that reflects and travels again on the connection portion 931 (hereinafter, this light is referred to as “second blade member traveling light”). In the second blade member traveling light, one having both a radial direction component and a circumferential direction component whose traveling direction is centered at the third center C 3 spreads radially from the connecting portion 931 toward the decorative portion 932 Proceed to Here, since the four blade light source elements 985 are provided side by side in the circumferential direction with respect to the second blade member 93B, light traveling toward the decorative portion 932 spreads throughout the interior of the decorative portion 932. Then, since the reflection sheet 932s is attached to the decoration portion 932, the light spreading to the entire inside of the decoration portion 932 is reflected by the reflection sheet 932s, and the decoration portion 932 of the appearing second blade member 93B is entirely Light emission (see FIG. 20).

  Thus, the groove for light reflection 933 is formed on the light source element 985 for the blade, the bottom portion 980, the inclined surface 987, the flat and transparent connection portion 931, and the one surface, and the reflection sheet 932s is attached to the other surface. Since the decoration member 932 can irradiate the blade member 93 as a whole and also can irradiate radiation in a radial shape centering on the third center C3, the rendering effect of the light emission effect is improved.

  Here, the light emission to the first blade member 93A by the blade light source element 985 constituting the first blade light source group 985A and the second blade member by the blade light source element 985 constituting the second blade light source group 985B. Although the light emission to 93B has been described, the blade light source element 985 constituting the third blade light source group 985C and the fifth blade light source group 985E is the third blade member 93C, similarly to the first blade light source group 985A. And the fifth blade member 93E to emit light. Further, the blade light source element 985 constituting the fourth blade light source group 985D causes the fourth blade member 93D to emit light, as in the case of the second blade light source group 985B.

  Here, light emitted from the blade light source element 985 constituting the first blade light source group 985A, the third blade light source group 985C, and the fifth blade light source group 985E and traveling inside the bottom 980 to the outside surface The optical path length is shorter than the optical path length of light emitted from the blade light source element 985 constituting the second blade light source group 985B and the fourth blade light source group 985D and traveling inside the bottom portion 980 to the outer side surface. This is due to the difference in the presence or absence of the notch 988. Therefore, the intensity of light re-entering the air from the outer surface of the bottom 980 is determined by the light emitted from the light source element 985 constituting the second blade light source group 985B and the fourth blade light source group 985D. Also, the light emitted from the blade light source element 985 constituting the first blade light source group 985A, the third blade light source group 985C, and the fifth blade light source group 985E is stronger.

  However, as described above, the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E have the second frame movable body lamp 92 more than the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D. It is provided at a position far from the surface. That is, the distance D1 from the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E to the bottom 980 is the distance D2 from the second blade member 93B to the bottom 980 from the fourth blade member 93D. It is further than. Therefore, the optical path length along which light traveling toward the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E from the outer side surface of the bottom 980 travels in the air is the second blade member 93B from the outer side surface of the bottom 980, The light traveling toward the fourth blade member 93D is longer than the optical path length traveling through the air. As long as the optical path length from the outer side surface of the bottom 980 is longer, light entering the air again from the outer side surface of the bottom 980 is the first as compared to the case where it reaches the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D. The case of reaching the blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E is weaker. As a result, the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the third blade member 93C are composed of the blade light source elements 985 that constitute the first blade light source group 985A, the third blade light source group 985C, and the fifth blade light source group 985E. A second blade member 93B is formed by the intensity of light to which the five blade members 93E are linearly irradiated, and the blade light source element 985 that constitutes the second blade light source group 985B and the fourth blade light source group 985D. The intensity of the light with which the blade member 93D is linearly irradiated is substantially uniform. Thus, the effect of the light emission effect is improved.

  As described above, by reducing the variation in the intensity of light emitted to the first blade member 93A to the fifth blade member 93E, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the rendering effect of the light emission effect by the second frame movable body lamp 92. it can.

  In the above description, the irregular reflection grooves 933 are formed on the surface of the decorative portion 932, but the cross sectional shape, the overall shape, the position, and the number may be set as appropriate. The constituent elements of the irregular reflection grooves 933 are identical to each other in the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E, and the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D. It may be Furthermore, the irregular reflection grooves 933 may be formed by pressing in advance to a mold having asperities instead of cutting and forming a flat surface.

  Further, the shapes of the connection portion 931 and the decoration portion 932 are not limited to the above description, and may be set appropriately. Furthermore, for the blade member 93, the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E are farther from the bottom 980 than the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D. Although attached, the positional relationship may be reversed.

  Furthermore, the overall number of the blade light source elements 985 and the number and position of one blade member 93 can be appropriately set without being limited to the above description. In addition, light emitting elements of the same specification may be used for all of the blade members 93, or light emitting elements of all different specifications may be used. Furthermore, the specification pattern of the light emitting element for one blade member 93 may be the same or different for all the blade members 93.

  Further, the light emitted from the light source element 985 for the blade is refracted through the thick portion of the bottom 980 and reaches the blade member 93. Therefore, the portion outside the light source element 985 of the bottom portion 980 constitutes a refracting portion that refracts light. Further, in the above-described example, the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E are formed beside the notch 988. A means for equalizing the intensity of light irradiated to the blade member 93C and the fifth blade member 93E and the intensity of light irradiated to the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D Is not limited to this. For example, without forming the cutout portion 988, the material of the refraction portion related to the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D relates to the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E. It may be made of a material that attenuates light rather than the material of the refracting portion. In addition, the light intensity of the blade light source element 985 related to the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D without forming the notch portion 988 is the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the third It may be weaker than the light intensity of the light source element 985 for the blade relating to the fifth blade member 93E.

  Furthermore, although light emitted from the light source element for blade 855 reaches the blade member 93 through the thick portion (refractive portion) of the bottom portion 980, there is no refractive portion and the blade member 93 is not directly transmitted through the bottom portion 980. You may reach it. That is, in the bottom portion 980, a hole may be formed in a direction perpendicular to the bottom portion 980 in a range through which light emitted from the blade light source element 985 toward the blade member 93 passes. In this case, the light emitted from the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C, and the fifth blade member 93E and the light emitted from the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D are uniform. In order to set the distance between the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D and the light source element 985 pertaining thereto, the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C and the fifth blade member 93E, and The distance needs to be larger than the distance of the light source element 985. For example, the light source element 985 related to the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D has a third center C3 more than the light source element 985 related to the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C and the fifth blade member 93E. Close to the side. In the direction perpendicular to the bottom 980, the light source element 985 related to the second blade member 93B and the fourth blade member 93D is a light source related to the first blade member 93A, the third blade member 93C and the fifth blade member 93E. It is moved to the side opposite to the blade member 93 than the element 985.

3. Description of the game by the game control board 100 Next, the game performed by the game control board 100 will be described. First of all, the game related to the popular map will be described. When the launched game ball wins the gate 13, the game control board 100 performs a common drawing lottery on the condition that the variable display of the common drawing or the auxiliary game is not performed. When the drawing control lottery is performed, the gaming control board 100 performs variable display of the drawing (display after change display and stop display) on the drawing display 82. Here, there are a hit symbol and a lost symbol in the common view that is displayed in a stop. In addition, about the lost design of a common drawing, in order to distinguish with the lost design of the special drawing mentioned later, it is also called a "loss common drawing". When the hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game relating to the winning of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the popular game is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed, and the game relating to the winning of the gate 13 ends. In addition, in the following, it is referred to as "establishment of the common drawing fluctuation start condition" that the gaming ball wins the gate 13 when the variable display of the common drawing or the auxiliary game is not performed.

  The game control board 100 acquires common drawing related determination information when the common drawing fluctuation start condition is established, in performing such a series of games (common drawing lottery, variable display of common drawing, auxiliary game). The common drawing related determination information to be acquired includes a normal symbol random number as shown in FIG. 23 (A). The normal symbol random number is a random number (determination information) for making a hit determination. A range is appropriately provided for the normal symbol random numbers. Specifically, the range of normal symbol random numbers is 0 to 65535.

  Next, each determination performed using the common drawing relation determination information will be described. First, the hit determination will be described. The hit determination is a determination for determining whether or not to hit (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) using the hit determination table shown in FIG. 24 (A). The hit determination table is associated with the gaming state described later. That is, the collision determination table includes a collision determination table (non-time reduction collision determination table) used in the non-short time state and a collision determination table (time reduction collision determination table) used in the time reduction state. In each hit determination table, the determination value (normal symbol random number determination value) of the normal symbol random number is distributed to the hit and the loss which is the result of the hit determination. Therefore, the game control board 100 collates the acquired normal symbol random number with the determination table, and performs the determination of whether it is a hit or a loss. Basically, when the result of the hit determination is a hit, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed in a variable display of a common figure. On the other hand, when the result of the collision determination is a loss, basically, the lost spread is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the spread.

  Next, fluctuation pattern determination of a common drawing (common drawing fluctuation pattern determination) will be described. The common drawing fluctuation pattern determination is a judgment for determining the common drawing fluctuation pattern using the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 24 (B). The common drawing fluctuation pattern is identification information on a predetermined matter related to the fluctuation display of the common drawing, such as the common drawing fluctuation time.

  The common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table is associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, in the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table, a common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table (non-short time common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and a common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table used in the time-short state There is a time-shortened chart fluctuation pattern determination table).

  In each common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table, one common drawing fluctuation pattern, which is a result of the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination, is stored for each normal symbol to be stopped. That is, in the non-time-saving state, the gaming control board 100 determines the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 30 seconds for the common drawing fluctuation display in the case of stopping and displaying the normal symbol (loss common drawing) of the loss. And, about the common drawing fluctuation display in the case of stopping display of the winning design, it is decided as the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 30 seconds. In addition, in the time saving state, the game control board 100 determines the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 5 seconds for the common drawing fluctuation display in the case of displaying the lost common drawing in the stop display. In the case of the common drawing fluctuation display in the case where the common drawing fluctuation display is performed, the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 5 seconds is determined. The common drawing display of the common drawing fluctuation time associated with the common drawing fluctuation pattern determined by this determination is performed by the common drawing display 82.

  In this manner, by performing the hit determination and the common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment, variable display of the common drawing is performed on the common drawing display 82. Then, when the winning symbol is stop-displayed (derived) as a display result (result of the common drawing lottery) in the variable display of the common drawing, the auxiliary game is executed.

  The elements that make up the auxiliary game (auxiliary game components) include various elements such as the number of times the electric chew 12D opens and the opening time for each opening. And each of these elements is associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, the auxiliary game components are stored in the auxiliary game control table associated with each game state (non-short time state / short time state). The game control board 100 controls the auxiliary game using the auxiliary game control table shown in FIG. 24 (C) based on the game state (non-short time state / short time state). Therefore, when the hit control is stopped and displayed, the game control board 100 executes an auxiliary game according to the game state. Here, the auxiliary game according to the game state will be described.

  In the auxiliary game in the non-time-shortened state, the electric chew 12D opens once. The open time at this time is 0.2 seconds. Therefore, it is difficult to win the game ball in the second starting opening 12 when this auxiliary game is executed. In addition, below, the thing of the auxiliary | assistant game in a non-time saving state is also called "a short opening auxiliary | assistant game."

  In the auxiliary game in the time saving state, the electric chew 12D is opened twice. The first opening time is 2.5 seconds. Then, the first opening is completed, and the second opening is performed with an interval time of 1.0 second after the electric tube 12D is once closed. The second opening time is 2.5 seconds. Therefore, it is easy to win a game ball on the second starting opening 12 when this auxiliary game is executed. In addition, the thing of the auxiliary | assistant game in time-saving state is also called "a long open | release auxiliary | assistant game" below.

  Next, the game involved in the special drawing will be described. When the fired game ball wins the first starting opening 11, a special figure 1 lottery is performed on condition that the special figure 1 holding number (U1) is less than four. When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 display 81a performs variable display of the special figure 1 (display of variation and then stop display) to notify the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, there are a big hit symbol and a lost symbol in the special view 1 which is stopped and displayed. That is, there are a big hit and a loss in the result of the special figure 1 lottery. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is ended. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is ended.

  Similarly, when the launched game ball wins the second starting opening 12, a special figure 2 lottery is performed on condition that the special figure 2 holding number (U2) is less than four. When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 display 81b performs variable display of the special figure 2 (display of change and then stop display) to notify the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, there are a big hit symbol and a lost symbol in the special view 2 which is stopped and displayed. That is, there are a big hit and a loss in the result of the special figure 2 lottery. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is ended. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is ended.

  In the following, when the special figure 1 reserve number (U1) is less than 4 that the game ball wins in the first starting opening 11 is referred to as "the establishment of the first start condition", the special figure 2 reserve number ( The fact that the game ball wins the second starting opening 12 when U2) is less than 4 is referred to as "the establishment of the second starting condition". In addition, “satisfaction of the first start condition” and “satisfaction of the second start condition” are collectively referred to as “satisfaction of the start condition”. In addition, with regard to the lost symbol of the special symbol, in order to distinguish it from the lost symbol of the above-mentioned normal symbol, it is also referred to as "the lost special figure".

  When performing such a series of games (special drawing lottery, special display variable display, jackpot gaming, setting of gaming state), the game control board 100 acquires special drawing related determination information by establishment of the start condition, Various determinations are performed on the special map related determination information. As shown in FIG. 23B, the special figure related determination information to be acquired includes a special symbol random number, a jackpot symbol type random number, a reach random number, and a special figure variation pattern random number.

  The special symbol random number is a random number (judgment information) for judging the jackpot. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number (judgment information) for making a jackpot symbol type determination. The reach random number is a random number (determination information) for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number (determination information) for performing the variation pattern determination of the special symbol. Each random number has an appropriate range. Specifically, the range of the special symbol random number is 0 to 65535. The range of jackpot symbol type random numbers is 0-9. The range of reach random numbers is 0-99. The range of the special figure fluctuation pattern random number is 0 to 99. The range of various random numbers is not limited to these, and can be set appropriately.

  Next, each determination performed using the special figure related determination information will be described. First, the jackpot determination will be described. The jackpot determination is a determination to determine whether or not a jackpot (whether or not a jackpot game is to be executed) using the jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 25 (A). The jackpot determination table is associated with the gaming state, specifically, whether it is a normal probability state or a high probability state described later. That is, the jackpot judgment table includes a jackpot judgment table (normal jackpot judgment table) used in the normal probability state and a jackpot judgment table (high probability jackpot judgment table) used in the high probability state.

  In each jackpot judgment table, the judgment value (special symbol random number judgment value) of the special symbol random number is distributed to the jackpot which is the result of the jackpot judgment and the loss. The game control board 100 collates the acquired special symbol random number with the jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 25A, the special symbol random number judgment value in which the jackpot judgment table for high probability is judged to be a jackpot is set more than the jackpot judgment table for normal probability.

  Next, jackpot symbol type determination will be described. The jackpot symbol type determination is a determination for determining the type (jackpot symbol type) of the jackpot symbol using the jackpot symbol type determination table shown in FIG. 25 (B) when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot. The jackpot symbol type corresponds to the jackpot component composed of the jackpot content, in other words, the gaming bonus (content of the advantageous gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than usual), etc. It is attached.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is a type of special symbol that is variably displayed (special figure 1 / special figure 2), in other words, the winnings caused by the jackpot symbol type determination (which caused the jackpot symbol type determination) It is associated with the type of the starting opening (first starting opening 11 / second starting opening 12). That is, in the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type judgment table (first jackpot symbol type judgment table) used when performing variable display of the special figure 1 and the jackpot used when performing variable display of the special figure 2 There is a symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

  In each jackpot symbol type determination table, the judgment value (jackpot symbol type random number judgment value) for jackpot symbol type random number is distributed to jackpot symbol types that are results of jackpot symbol type determination. Therefore, the game control board 100 collates the acquired jackpot symbol type random number with the jackpot symbol type determination table to determine the type of jackpot symbol.

  As a big hit symbol (according to the special figure 1) when winning in the first starting opening 11, three types of big hit symbols of big hit symbol A, big hit symbol B, and big hit symbol C are provided. On the other hand, two types of big hit symbols of big hit symbol D and big hit symbol E are provided as a big hit symbol (related to the special figure 2) when winning in the 2nd starting opening 12. And, in the first big hit symbol type judgment table and the second big hit symbol type judgment table, the big hit symbol type random number judgment value is appropriately distributed to various big hit symbols.

  In addition, the winning probability of the jackpot and the distribution ratio (%) of the jackpot symbol type are not limited to FIG. 25 (A) and FIG. 25 (B), and can be set as appropriate. Further, the type of jackpot symbol is not limited to the five jackpot symbols shown in FIG. 25 (B), and can be set as appropriate. For example, in the first jackpot symbol type determination table, more or less than three types of jackpot symbols may be associated with a jackpot symbol type random number determination value. Further, in the second jackpot symbol type determination table, more than two types of jackpot symbols may be associated with a jackpot symbol type random number determination value.

  Next, reach determination will be described. The reach determination is a determination to determine whether to generate a reach using the reach determination table shown in FIG. 25C when the result of the big hit determination is a loss. Here, in order to explain reach, the special figure fluctuation presentation which becomes the premise of reach is explained.

  When the variable display of the special view is performed, the special view fluctuation presentation is performed according to the variable display of the special view. The special view fluctuation effect is performed using various effect devices such as the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the button lamp 54, the frame movable device 55, the panel movable device 56, and the effect button 40k. In the special figure fluctuation presentation, variable display of the production design synchronized or substantially synchronized with the variable display of the special drawing is performed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50. That is, the fluctuation display of the production symbol is performed along with the fluctuation display of the special drawing, and the fluctuation stop (stop display) of the production symbol is performed along with the fluctuation stop (stop display) of the special drawing. In addition, when the variable display of the production design is performed, the display of the performance image (still image or moving image) different from the production design such as the background image or the character image is a line as the special figure fluctuation production performed on the display unit 50a. It will be.

  The effect pattern is, for example, a left effect pattern EZ1 relatively displayed on the left side in the display unit 50a, a middle effect pattern EZ2 relatively displayed in the middle, and a right effect pattern relatively displayed on the right side It is configured with EZ 3 (see FIG. 31 etc.). In addition, in the following, when naming left production design EZ1, middle production design EZ2, and right production design EZ3 generically, it may be called "production design EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, or production design EZ1-EZ3."

  The effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are each composed of a plurality of identification information that can be identified by the player. In the first embodiment, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are mainly composed of symbols including numbers from "1" to "8". Then, in the variable display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3, the symbol group including the numbers constituting the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is vertically aligned in front view and scrolls from the top of the display section 50a to the bottom . At this time, the numbers displayed and visually recognized on the display unit 50a are sequentially switched.

  In addition, as an aspect of the variable display of production | design pattern EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, it is not restricted to the aspect scrolled to an up-down direction, Other aspects, such as an aspect scrolled to the left-right direction (for example, right to left) may be sufficient. Further, it may be a mode in which symbol groups including numerals constituting the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are sequentially switched (for example, rotated at the fixed position) at predetermined fixed positions instead of scroll display.

  Then, when the special view is stopped and displayed, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a predetermined arrangement (combination). That is, in the variable display, a symbol including various numbers which are sequentially switched in the display unit 50a is specified as one. At this time, the special figure stop-displayed on the special-figure display 81, that is, the result of the special figure lottery is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner by the combination of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 stopped and displayed. That is, the player does not generally grasp the result of the special figure lottery with the special figure 1 display 81a or the special figure 2 display 81b, but with the display unit 50a of the image display device 50.

  And reach is an effect for making a player expect a jackpot by using the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 in the special figure change effect. Specifically, the reach is a state in which one of the effect symbols being scrolled among the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 remains, and the effect symbols being scrolled are stopped and displayed at which symbol It is a state (for example, the state of "5 ↓ 5") which becomes a combination of the presentation symbols indicating the jackpot winning depending on the player's jackpot (see FIG. 32D and FIG. 33A).

  In addition, the effect pattern which is not scroll-displayed in reach is temporarily stopped at the predetermined position in the display part 50a. With temporary stop, a predetermined effect pattern remains at a substantially predetermined position (the predetermined effect pattern continues to be displayed in the display unit 50a), that is, although it is not replaced with a different effect pattern, a minute fluctuation (for example, a little Repetition of up and down reciprocation, repetition of some rocking, repetition of expansion and contraction, etc.). In addition, the aspect of temporary stop is not restricted to these, You may set suitably.

  Here, the explanation of the reach determination table is returned to. The reach determination table is associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, in the reach determination table, there are a reach determination table (non-short time reach determination table) used when the non-time-short state is present and a reach determination table (time-short reach determination table) used when the time short state.

  The details of the non-time-short state and the time-short state will be described later, but the non-time-short state and the time-short state indicate the time required for the variable display of the special symbol (time from the start of the special display In the time-saving state, the special figure fluctuation time is likely to be shorter than in the non-time-saving state.

  In each reach determination table, the reach random number determination value (reach random number determination value) is distributed to the reach determination results “reach (generate reach)” and “no reach (do not generate reach)”. There is. Therefore, the game control board 100 collates the acquired reach random number with the reach determination table, and determines whether there is a reach or no reach (whether or not to cause a reach). As shown in FIG. 25 (C), more reach random number judgment values are judged to be “reached (to generate reach)” in the non-time-shortening reach judgment table than the time-shortening reach judgment table. ing.

  If the result of the reach determination is "with reach (to generate reach)", in most cases, reach occurs in the special figure fluctuation effect. On the other hand, when the result of the reach determination is "no reach (does not cause reach)", the reach does not occur in the special figure fluctuation presentation. In addition, in the following, the result of reach determination performed on the premise that the result of the big hit determination is "loss" "reach with (to generate reach)" is referred to as "reach with a loss", "no reach ( There is also a case that "no reach is lost".

  Next, special symbol variation pattern determination will be described. In the special symbol variation pattern determination (special figure variation pattern determination), the variation pattern determination table for the special symbol shown in FIGS. 26 to 27 (special figure variation pattern determination shown in FIGS. It is the judgment for determining the fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern) of the fluctuation display of a special symbol using a table).

  The special figure fluctuation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined matters related to the special figure fluctuation time, the special figure fluctuation presentation flow (effect contents), and the like. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern includes information about the result of the jackpot determination and the result of the reach determination, in addition to the special figure fluctuation time and the special process flow of the special figure fluctuation presentation (the contents of the presentation).

  The special figure fluctuation pattern determination table is the type of special symbol that performs the variable display to be determined (special figure 1 / special figure 2), in other words, the starting opening where the winning due to the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed It is associated with the type (first start port 11 / second start port 12). That is, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table performs the fluctuation display of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 26) used when performing the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 It is roughly divided into a special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 27) used at the time.

  And, each special figure fluctuation pattern decision table which is linked to the classification of the special symbol, is linked also to game state (non time saving state / time saving state). That is, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table includes the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table (non-time minor special pattern 1 variation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and the special figure 1 used in the time-short state There is a variation pattern determination table (time chart for special figure 1 variation pattern determination table). On the other hand, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table is also used similarly to the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and in the time-short state There is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table (time chart for special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table).

  Further, each special view fluctuation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state (non-shortening state / shorting state) is further associated with the jackpot determination result and the reach determination result. That is, the non-time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the non-time-shorting special figure 2 variation pattern determination table respectively include one for big hit, one for reach presence loss, and one for no reach loss. Similarly, in the time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the time-shorting special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table, there are one for big hit, one for reach presence loss, and one for no reach loss.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each non-reach loss is also associated with the number of special figure reservations. Specifically, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for a reach-less loss used when the special figure 1 reserve number (U1) is 0 to 2, and the special figure 1 reserve number (U1) is 3 to 4 There is a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for no reach loss used in In addition, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for no reach loss is associated with the number of special figure reservations. Specifically, when the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 0 to 2, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for reach-less loss used and the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 3 to 4 There is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for no reach loss used in

  As described above, in each of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination tables associated with the special symbol type, the gaming state, etc., the special figure fluctuation pattern that is the result of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination Figure fluctuation pattern random number judgment value) is distributed. Therefore, the game control board 100 collates the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern random number with the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table to determine the special figure fluctuation pattern. Then, the special symbol display of the special symbol variation time according to the special symbol variation pattern determined by this determination is displayed on the special symbol display 81.

  And, when the fluctuation display of the special symbol is done, the special figure fluctuation production which is based on the special figure fluctuation pattern is done. The special figure fluctuation presentation includes a normal regular special drawing fluctuation presentation and a special special drawing fluctuation presentation in which the presentation time is longer than the normal special drawing fluctuation presentation and the jackpot expectation degree is higher than the normal special drawing fluctuation presentation.

  In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern includes information on an effect flow that constitutes the effect content of the special figure fluctuation effect based on the special figure fluctuation time. The effect flow of the special figure fluctuation effect is shown in the third item from the right of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. Here, each production which constitutes the production flow of special drawing fluctuation production linked with special drawing fluctuation pattern is explained.

  The effects that make up the special pattern change effect flow are normal fluctuation, reach, normal reach (N reach), long reach (L reach), and special reach (SP reach).

  The normal change is basically an effect of changing and displaying one by one effect symbol at a high speed to an extent that is difficult to recognize, without the effect pattern becoming a special mode. And all the parts of the special figure fluctuation production (part from the fluctuation start of the production design to the fluctuation stop) and the part until the reach in the special drawing fluctuation production is established (fixed) is composed of the usual fluctuation .

  N reach is one remaining effect in the state where the production design which constitutes the reach is temporarily stopped for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) immediately after the reach is established (confirmed) through normal fluctuation. It is an effect that the symbol decelerates and fluctuates at a lower speed than normal fluctuation. The jackpot expectation suggested by N reach is usually higher than fluctuation, and lower than L reach and SP reach described later. When special figure fluctuation production ends with N reach, the remaining 1 production design which fluctuates with that low speed stops. In the case of a loss, the remaining one production pattern is stopped with a different production pattern from that of the reach pattern. When special figure fluctuation production is not finished with N reach, the remaining one production design fluctuates at high speed again, develops from N reach to L reach or SP reach (switch) while the reach is maintained.

  L reach is maintained reach achieved, but the production design which constitutes the reach is reduced and at a predetermined position (for example, left production design EZ1 is the upper left of display 50a, right production design EZ3 is display 50a In the state of having moved to the upper right of), a background image dedicated to L reach is displayed (video is played), and it is an effect performed for a longer time than N reach. In L reach, an animation image by 2DCG is mainly displayed on the display unit 50a. As the effect content of L reach, a scene where a predetermined character battles against an enemy character in the city is displayed (a video to be battle flows on the display unit 50a).

  The SP reach is maintained while the established reach is maintained, and at the same time the effect design that constitutes the reach is reduced and at a predetermined position (for example, the left effect design EZ1 is the upper left of the display unit 50a and the right effect design EZ3 is the display unit 50a It is an effect that a dedicated background image for a longer time than the background image for L reach is displayed (image flows) while moving to the upper right of). In the SP reach, a 3DCG image is mainly displayed on the display unit 50a. Then, a scene in which a predetermined character battles against an enemy character at an enemy base is displayed as the effect content of the SP reach (a video to be battle flows on the display unit 50a).

  In addition, in "the state where the reach is maintained" in N reach, L reach, and SP reach, the effect design which constitutes the reach in the N reach, L reach, and SP reach can be visually recognized with indicator 50a. Not only the state, for example, it is assumed that the effect design that configures the reach is in a state in which it is difficult or impossible to visually recognize from the display unit 50a for a predetermined period in relation to a dedicated background image.

  In addition, as shown in the second column from the right in the table in FIG. 26 to FIG. 27, the special figure variation pattern including the special figure (big hit determination result) and information about the contents of the special figure variation effect production It is decided to attach a name in association with the judgment result) and the contents of the effect of the special figure fluctuation presentation and the like.

  For example, the special pattern fluctuation pattern overall relating to the loss is also referred to as "loss fluctuation", and the general special pattern fluctuation pattern pertaining to the jackpot is also referred to as the "big hit fluctuation". In addition, the loss fluctuation related to the loss presence loss is also referred to as "reach presence loss fluctuation", and the loss fluctuation related to the no reach loss is also referred to as "reach no loss fluctuation". Also, the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which the SP reach is performed regardless of the jackpot and the loss is also referred to as "SP reach fluctuation". Furthermore, the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which L reach is performed regardless of the jackpot and the loss is also referred to as "L reach fluctuation".

  In addition, although the flow of the special figure fluctuation effect related to the normal A loss fluctuation selectable to the non-time-short state to the normal C loss fluctuation is composed of only the normal fluctuation, the special drawing fluctuation time of the special drawing fluctuation pattern is It is different in 13 seconds, 8 seconds and 4 seconds. Similarly, although the flow of the special figure fluctuation representation relating to the shortened A loss fluctuation and the shortened B loss fluctuation selectable in the short time state is also constituted by only the normal fluctuation, the special drawing fluctuation time of the special image fluctuation pattern It is different in 6 seconds and 3 seconds.

  As described above, by performing the jackpot determination, the jackpot symbol type determination, the reach determination, and the special view fluctuation pattern determination, the special view variable display of the special view display 81 is performed.

  Then, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result (the result of the special symbol lottery) in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the next special figure is not performed, and the big hit game is subsequently executed. Next, the jackpot game will be described.

  The jackpot game is a round game with multiple round games with opening and closing of the big winning opening 14 and an opening (also referred to as OP) from the start of the jackpot game to the start of the first round game, and the final round game Ending from the end of the jackpot to the end of the jackpot game (also denoted as ED) and.

  Each round game starts with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ending. In addition, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is only called "round" below. For example, the first round game may be referred to as "one round (1R)" and the tenth round game may be referred to as "10 round (10R)".

  The elements that make up such a big hit game (big hit game components) include the number of round games, the number of opening of the big winning opening 14 in each round game, the type of big winning opening where each opening is performed and the opening time ( Opening pattern), closing time until next opening (closing time), opening time (opening time), and ending time (ending time) are included.

  And each of these elements is stored in the jackpot game control table. As shown in FIG. 28 (A), the jackpot game control table is associated with the type of jackpot symbol. The game control board 100 controls the jackpot game using the jackpot game control table associated with the type of the jackpot symbol stopped and displayed. That is, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the game control board 100 executes the jackpot game according to the type of the jackpot symbol displayed and stopped. Here, the jackpot game according to the type of jackpot symbol will be described.

  In the jackpot game according to the jackpot symbol A, eight round games are played. And, in each round game from 1R to 8R, the big winning opening 14 opens up to 29.5 seconds per one round game.

  In the jackpot game according to the jackpot symbol B and the jackpot symbol C, four round games are played. And in each round game from 1R to 4R, the big winning opening 14 is opened for 29.5 seconds at the maximum per one round game.

  In the jackpot game according to the jackpot symbol D and the jackpot symbol E, 16 round games are played. And, in each round game from 1R to 16R, the big winning opening 14 is opened for 29.5 seconds at the maximum per one round game.

  Then, the game control board 100 newly sets the gaming state after the jackpot game with the end of the jackpot game. The newly set gaming state is associated with the jackpot symbol associated with the jackpot game to be ended.

  Here, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described. The gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine PY 1 includes a gaming state related to the probability of being determined as a "big hit" in the big hit determination, and a game state related to the special figure fluctuation time and the ease of opening the second starting opening 12. The former has a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter has a non-time-short state and a time-short state.

  The normal probability state is a gaming state in which the probability of being judged as a jackpot by the jackpot determination is a normal probability. On the other hand, the high probability state is a gaming state in which the probability of being judged as a jackpot by the jackpot determination is a high probability higher than the normal probability. When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, the normal probability state is set.

  Next, the non-time-short state and the time-short state will be described. The time saving state is a gaming state in which the special figure fluctuation time tends to be shorter than the non-time saving state. As described above, in the time saving state, the special figure variation pattern determination is performed using the special figure variation pattern determination table set so that the special figure variation pattern having a short special figure variation time can be easily selected compared to the non time saving state. To be done. As a result, in the time saving state, the pace of the digestion of the special figure holding becomes faster than in the non-time short state, and effective winnings on the starting openings 11 and 12 (winnings that can be stored as special drawing holding) are more likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a jackpot under the progress of a smooth game.

  In addition, the time saving state is also a gaming state in which the spread map fluctuation time tends to be shorter than the non-time saving state. In the first embodiment, the drawing variation time is determined based on the drawing variation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state. Specifically, the spread variation time is determined to be 30.0 seconds in the non-short time state and is determined to be 5.0 seconds in the short time state. Therefore, the number of times the common drawing lottery is executed per unit time increases in the time saving state.

  Furthermore, the time saving state is also a gaming state in which the open time of the electric chow 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer than in the non-time saving state. In the non-time-saving state, the power chew 12D opens for 0.2 seconds in one auxiliary game, whereas in the time-saving state, the power chew 12D opens for 5.0 seconds in one auxiliary game. It is from.

  In addition, the time saving state is also a gaming state in which it is more likely to be determined as a hit in the hit determination than in the non-time saving state. This is because in the non-time-short state, it is determined to be a hit with a probability of 6600/66536 in the hit determination, while in the time-short state, it is determined to be a hit with a probability of 59936/66536 in the hit determination.

  From the above, in the time saving state, since the open time of the electric chow 12D per unit time is longer than in the non-time short state, winning of the second starting opening 12 is facilitated. Therefore, the base, which is the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of firing balls, is increased. Therefore, in the high base state, it is possible to aim for a jackpot winning without greatly reducing the number of gaming balls possessed. When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, the non-short time state is set.

  In the time saving state, compared to the non-time saving state, it is easier to win a hit, the spread map fluctuation time is likely to be shorter, and the opening time of the electric chow 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer. The three points of the game related to the common drawing are set to the player in an advantageous manner, but the points set to the player in an advantageous manner may be any part of these. Finally, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chow 12D per unit time may be longer than in the non-time saving state, and it may be easy to win the second starting opening 12.

  In addition, the gaming state after the power is turned on for the first time in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is a normal probability state and a non-time-short state, but this gaming state is also referred to as a "normal gaming state". During the jackpot game, the gaming state is set to the normal gaming state. That is, with the start of the jackpot game, the gaming state is reset and the normal gaming state is set.

  Here, it returns to the description about the gaming state after the jackpot game. As described above, the newly set gaming state is associated with the jackpot symbol relating to the jackpot game to be ended. Specifically, the new gaming state associated with the jackpot symbol A, the jackpot symbol B, and the jackpot symbol D is a high probability state and a time saving state. That is, when the jackpot symbol A, the jackpot symbol B, or the jackpot symbol D is stopped and displayed, after the jackpot game, the game proceeds in a high probability state and a time saving state. On the other hand, the new gaming state associated with the jackpot symbol C and the jackpot symbol E is a normal probability state and a time saving state. That is, when the jackpot symbol C or the jackpot symbol E is stopped and displayed, the game proceeds in the normal probability state and the time saving state after the jackpot game.

  As described above, although the game proceeds in the new gaming state after the jackpot game along with the jackpot winning, the period of the new gaming state which is advantageous to the player compared to the normal gaming state is defined. Specifically, when a new gaming state advantageous to the player is set, and the variable display of the special view is executed a predetermined number of prescribed times without winning a jackpot, the gaming state advantageous to the player is ended. Do. The prescribed number of times is associated with the type of jackpot symbol and the type of gaming state.

  The prescribed number of times when the high probability state is set by the jackpot symbol A, the jackpot symbol B, and the jackpot symbol D is set to 160 times. Further, the prescribed number of times when the time saving state is set by the jackpot symbol A, the jackpot symbol B, and the jackpot symbol D is set to 160 times. Furthermore, the prescribed number of times when the time saving state is set by the jackpot symbol C and the jackpot symbol E is set to 100 times.

  Then, when the high probability state is set and variable display of the specified number of special views is executed without the jackpot being won, the high probability state ends and the state shifts to the normal probability state. In addition, when the time saving state is set and variable display of the specified number of special views is executed without the jackpot being won, the time saving state ends and the non-time saving state is transitioned.

  In addition, below, the prescription | regulation frequency with respect to a high probability state is called "high probability prescription | regulation frequency | count." In addition, the prescribed number of times for the time saving state is referred to as "time limited number of times". In addition, the game proceeds in the normal probability state after the jackpot game according to the jackpot symbol C, and the jackpot symbol E, but the prescribed number of times for this gaming state is not set.

  As described above, the new gaming state and the prescribed number of times are associated in accordance with the jackpot symbol. Based on the gaming state setting table shown in FIG. 28B, the gaming control board 100 sets a new gaming state after the big hit game, a high probability prescribed number, and a time prescribed number.

  As described above, when the jackpot is won, the jackpot game according to the type of jackpot symbol is executed, and the gaming state and the prescribed number of times according to the type of jackpot symbol are set. Since the type of jackpot game, the type of gaming state, and the prescribed number of times are game benefits of the player, it can be said that the type of jackpot symbol represents the game benefit to be awarded to the player. Here, comparing the gaming profit concerning the jackpot symbol A, jackpot symbol B and jackpot symbol C pertaining to the special figure 1 lottery with the jackpot symbol D pertaining to the special figure 2 lottery and the gaming profit pertaining to the jackpot symbol E, It can be said that the special figure 2 lottery is advantageous to the player in terms of the out-dump performance related to the jackpot game.

  In addition, focusing on the jackpot gaming profit, the jackpot that the game proceeds in a high probability state after the jackpot game is also referred to as a "high probability jackpot". Furthermore, the jackpot that the game proceeds in a high probability state and a short time state after the jackpot game is also referred to as a "probable jackpot". In addition, a jackpot that allows the game to proceed in the normal probability state and the time saving state after the jackpot game is also referred to as a "time jackpot jackpot".

  By the way, in the game control board 100, when the game ball wins in the start holes 11, 12 and acquires the special drawing related determination information, the area (for example, the buffer) different from the special view holding storage unit 105 of the game RAM 104 And the start-up winning command is specified based on the special-image related determination information and transmitted to the effect control board 120.

  The start winning command includes information of a special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern information) determined by the special figure fluctuation pattern determination performed based on the acquired special figure related determination information. As described above, the special drawing fluctuation pattern includes the type of starting opening, in other words, information on the type of special drawing. Therefore, the starting winning command includes the type of starting opening that generated the starting winning command. Information (winning start opening information), in other words, the type (special view type information) of the special view of the variable display performed by the winning which has generated the starting winning command. In addition, since the special figure fluctuation pattern also includes information on whether it is a big hit or a loss (success or failure information) and information on presence or absence of reach (reach information), the start winning command has success or failure information. And reach information will be included.

  The game control board 100 specifies the start winning command based on the acquired special drawing related determination information using the start winning command specifying table shown in FIGS. 29 and 30. The start winning combination command specification table is associated with the type of the starting opening (first starting opening 11 / second starting opening 12) according to the starting winning combination. That is, in the start-up winning command specification table, a start-up winning command specification table (first start-up winning command specification table) when winning in the first starting opening 11 and a start-up winning command specification when winning in the second starting opening 12 There is a table (second start winning command identification table).

  Further, the start winning command specifying table is also associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, in the start winning command specification table, there are a start winning command specification table (non-shorting start winning command specification table) used when the non-short time state and a start winning command specification table (time short start) used when the time short state. There is a winning command identification table).

  That is, the start-up winning command specification table includes a first start-up winning command specification table used when the non-time-shortened state, a first start-up winning command specification table used when the time-shortened state, and the non-time-shortened state. And the second start winning command identification table used in the short time state.

  The start winning command may be any command that includes at least the pass / fail information, and it is possible to appropriately change what information is included in the start winning command. As described above, the variable display of the special symbol is performed based on the special view related determination information, but before the variable display of the special symbol executed based on the special view related determination information, the production control of the pass / fail information etc. By transmitting to the substrate 120, it is possible to execute pre-reading effects that suggest a big hit expectation such as so-called “hold change advance notice”, and to improve game interest.

4. Description of Effects by the Effect Control Board 120 As described above, the game control board 100 performs the special figure lottery, the variable display of the special figure, the big hit game and the like by the game ball winning in the starting openings 11 and 12. Then, the effect control board 120 executes various effects according to the content of the game played by the game control board 100. Hereinafter, specific examples of various effects performed by the effect control board 120 will be described with reference to FIGS.

4-1. Special figure fluctuation production First, special figure fluctuation production according to special figure variable display is explained.

  When variable display of the special symbol is started, the effect control board 120, the special figure fluctuation pattern and the special figure lottery result which relates to the variable indication of the special symbol (big hit decision result, big hit design category decision result, reach decision result, The special figure fluctuation effect is controlled based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result) and the like. In the special figure fluctuation effect, variable display of the effect design is performed in a superimposed manner on a predetermined background image on the display unit 50a. In the variable display of the production design, it stops after the production design fluctuates. That is, after the special view fluctuation time and the fluctuation display of the effect pattern are performed, the fluctuation stops and the stop display of the effect pattern is performed. When the fluctuation display of the production design is done, possibility of winning the jackpot (so-called "big hit expectation degree") may be suggested. Then, the result of the special drawing lottery is notified by the stop display of the effect symbol.

  Next, a specific example of the special figure fluctuation presentation will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 31 (A), in the display unit 50a, the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2, and the right effect pattern EZ3 are stopped and displayed on the background image G100 for normal use. When the variable display of the special symbol is started from the state where the variable display is not performed, as shown in FIG. 31 (B), the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started along with the start of the special symbol. . And, when the special pattern fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display of the special symbol newly started is the reach fluctuation without the reach fluctuation (for example, the normal A loss fluctuation), the reach does not occur and the fluctuation display of the special symbol is ended ( Along with the stop display of the special symbol, the stop display of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is performed with a missing eye (a so-called "barack eye") specific to a no reach reach. For example, first, as shown in FIG. 31 (C), the left effect design EZ1 temporarily stops at a substantially central position in the vertical direction of the display unit 50a toward the stop display of the effect design EZ1, EZ2, EZ3. As shown in 31 (D), the right effect pattern EZ3 is temporarily stopped at a substantially central position in the vertical direction of the display unit 50a, and as shown in FIG. 15 (E), the middle effect pattern EZ2 is in the upper and lower direction of the display unit 50a. Temporarily stop at the approximate center of the direction. Then, finally, as shown in FIG. 31F, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 temporarily stopped in a state of being lined horizontally at the substantially central position in the vertical direction of the display unit 50a are completely complete as they are. Stop and the stop is decided (stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is performed).

  In the example of FIG. 31, when the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is performed, the effect symbols are temporarily stopped in the order of left effect symbol EZ1 → right effect symbol EZ3 → middle effect symbol EZ2 but temporary The mode of stopping is not limited to this, and can be set as appropriate.

  Next, special figure fluctuation presentation when reach occurs is explained. Also in this case, as shown in FIG. 32A, from the state in which the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2, and the right effect pattern EZ3 are stopped and displayed, as in the case of no reach described above. The variation display of the special symbol is started, and as shown in FIG. 32 (B), the variation display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 32 (C), the left effect design EZ1 consisting of the number “5” is temporarily stopped at a substantially central position in the vertical direction of the display unit 50a, and then as shown in FIG. 32 (D) The right effect design EZ3 consisting of the same number "5" is temporarily stopped in line in the horizontal direction at a substantially central position in the vertical direction of the display unit 50a and becomes reach (reach is generated or established).

  In the example of FIG. 32, when reach is generated, the rendering symbol is temporarily stopped in the order of left rendering symbol EZ1 → right rendering symbol EZ3, but the mode of temporary stopping is not limited thereto, and may be set appropriately. Can. In addition, the numbers of the rendering symbols constituting the reach are not limited to "5". Further, the position at which the temporary stop is performed is not limited to the substantially central position in the vertical direction of the display unit 50a. In addition, the direction in which the rendering symbols constituting the reach are arranged is not limited to the horizontal direction and may be another direction such as an oblique direction.

  Next, an effect (reach effect) performed in a state where the reach is held after the reach is established will be described. As shown in FIG. 32 (D), when reach is established, N reach is started from that point. In the N reach, as shown in FIG. 33A, the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). When the N reach is started, as shown in FIG. 33 (B), the middle effect pattern EZ2 gradually decelerates in the normal mode of high-speed variable display (scroll).

  Here, when the special figure fluctuation production under execution ends with N reach, from inside the state of this N reach, as for inside effect design EZ2 temporary stop in vertical direction approximately center position of indicatory department 50a, it is the result of the special figure lottery The stop display of the effect design according to is performed. If the lottery result of the special figure lottery caused by the special figure fluctuation effect under execution is "loss", stop display of the effect pattern indicating a loss is performed. In this special figure fluctuation effect, since reach is generated, as shown in FIG. 33 (C-1), from a number different from the number constituting the reach (“4” in FIG. 33 (C-1)) Become a middle during the effect design EZ2 is temporarily stopped. And, with the end of the fluctuation display of the special symbol (the stop display of the special symbol), as shown in Figure 33 (D), the temporary stop state becomes a complete stop state, and with a lost eye unique to reach presence lose The stop display of the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3 is performed.

  In addition, when the special figure fluctuation production does not end with N reach, in other words, when it develops to L reach and SP reach, as shown in FIG. 33 (C-2), for example, the middle effect when ending with N reach At roughly the same timing as the timing at which the symbol EZ2 temporarily stops, the middle effect symbol EZ2 performs the fluctuation display in the normal mode (at a high speed) again, and develops into the L reach and the SP reach.

  When developing from N reach to L reach, the temporarily stopped left production design EZ1 shrinks and moves to the upper left of the display unit 50a, and the temporarily stopped right production design EZ3 shrinks while the reduced right production design EZ3 shrinks (See FIG. 34 (A-1)). Also, the background image for normal use G100 is switched to the background image for L reach (background image for L reach) G101 (see FIG. 34 (A-1)). The background image G101 for L reach is composed of a video (scene) by 2DCG in which the main character and the enemy character battle in the city.

  On the other hand, when developing from N reach to SP reach as well as L reach, while temporarily reducing the left production design EZ1 moves to the upper left of the display unit 50a while shrinking, the right production design is temporarily stopped While the EZ 3 is reduced, it moves to the upper right of the display unit 50a (see FIG. 34 (A-2)). Further, the background image for normal use G100 is switched to the background image (background image for SP reach) G102 dedicated to SP reach (see FIG. 34 (A-2)). The SP reach background image G102 is composed of a video (scene) by 3DCG in which the main character and the enemy character battle with the enemy's agit.

  And, even if it is L reach or SP reach, if it is a loss, finally, as shown in FIG. 34 (B-1), from the background image G101 for L reach or the background image G102 for SP reach While switching to the background image G100 for normal use, the stop display of the effect designs EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 indicating a loss is performed, and the next special figure fluctuation effect is performed. On the other hand, whether it is a jackpot, L reach or SP reach, finally, as shown in FIG. 34 (B-2), L reach background image G101 or SP reach background image G102 While switching to the background image for normal use G100, the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 indicating the big hit is performed, and the big hit game effect is performed.

5. Game control by the game control microcomputer 101 [game control main processing]
Next, the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described based on FIG. 35 to FIG. A counter, a timer, a flag, a status, a buffer and the like appearing in the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104. Also, the initial value of the counter is "0", the initial value of the flag is "0", that is, "OFF", and the initial value of the status is "1".

  When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the gaming control microcomputer 101 provided on the gaming control board 100 reads out and executes the game control main processing program shown in FIG. 35 from the gaming ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the game control main process, first, a power-on process (S001) is performed. In power-on processing, permission settings for access to the gaming RAM 104, settings for the gaming CPU 102, SIO (System Input / Output), PIO (Parallel Input / Output), CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit: interrupt time management) Circuit settings are performed.

  Next to the power-on process, the interrupt is inhibited (S002), and the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers relating to the common drawing related determination information and the special drawing related determination information are updated by adding one. When the upper limit value is reached, the counter value of each random number is returned to "0" and added again. The initial value of the counter of each random number may be a value other than “0”, or may be randomly changed. Further, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) is finished, the interruption is permitted (S004). While the interrupt is permitted, the game control timer interrupt process (S005) can be executed. The game control timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the game CPU 102, for example, in a cycle of 4 msec. That is, the game control timer interrupt process (S005) is executed in a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the game control side timer interrupt process (S005) is completed and until the game control side timer interrupt process (S005) is started next, the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) Update processing of counter values of various random numbers is repeatedly executed. If an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the game control timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is permitted (S004). .

[Game control timer interrupt processing]
Next, the game control timer interrupt process (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 36, in the game control timer interrupt process (S005), an output process (S101) is first executed. In the output process (S101), a command or the like set in an output buffer provided in the game RAM 104 of the game control board 100 in each process described below is output to the effect control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

  In the input process (S102) performed subsequent to the output process (S101), the game control microcomputer 101 takes in the detection signal from the lower plate full switch for detecting the fullness of the surplus ball storage hole 35A, and plays the game as lower plate full data. It stores in the output buffer of RAM104.

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S103) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) performed in the main control main process of FIG. That is, the update processing of the counter values of various random numbers related to the common drawing related determination information and the special drawing related determination information is the game control side timer interrupt processing (S005) execution period and other periods (main side timer interrupt processing ( After the end of S005), it is performed both in the period until the next game control side timer interrupt processing (S005) is started.

  After the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the game control microcomputer 101 performs a sensor detection process (S104), then performs a normal operation process (S105), and further performs a special operation process (S106) Do. The sensor detection process, the normal operation process and the special operation process will be described later.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 executes other processing (S107) and ends the gaming control timer interrupt processing (S005). As the other process (S107), a power-off monitoring process when the power is turned off, an update of a timer provided in the gaming RAM 104, and the like are performed. Further, as another process (S107), a payout control process of paying out the prize balls to the player is performed. In the payout control process, the winning ball counter for the first starting opening 11, the winning ball counter for the second starting opening 12, the winning ball counter for the special winning opening 14, and the winning ball counter for the general winning opening 10 It is checked whether "0" is exceeded, and if it exceeds "0", a winning ball request signal is sent to the payout control board 170. Then, when transmitting a winning ball signal, an updating process is performed in which the winning ball counter related to the signal is decremented by "1".

  Then, the gaming control microcomputer 101 repeatedly executes the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the gaming control main processing until the next interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102, and when the interrupt pulse is input (approximately 4 msec later) ), The game control timer interrupt process (S005) is executed again. The game control microcomputer 101 is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous game control timer interrupt process (S005) in the output process (S101) of the game control timer interrupt process (S005) executed again. Output commands, etc.

[Sensor detection processing]
Next, sensor detection processing will be described with reference to FIGS. In the sensor detection process (S104), first, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won in the general winning opening 10, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the general winning opening sensor 10a (S201). If the gaming ball has not won the general winning opening 10 (NO in S201), the process proceeds to step S203, and if the gaming ball has won in the general winning opening 10 (YES in S201), a predetermined number of gaming balls are A general winning opening ball process for paying out the winning balls is performed (S202). In the general winning opening prize ball processing, the number of winning balls ("3" in the first embodiment) according to the winning on the general winning opening 10 is added to the winning ball counter for the general winning opening 10.

  In step S203, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has passed through the gate 13, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the gate sensor 13a. If the gaming ball has not passed through the gate 13 (NO in S203), the process proceeds to step S207. On the other hand, if the gaming ball passes the gate 13 (YES in S203), whether or not the normal operation status = 1 described later, in other words, whether the common view variable display or the auxiliary game is not performed It is determined whether or not it is (S204). When the normal operation status is not 1 (NO in S204), the process proceeds to step S207, and when the normal operation status is 1 (YES in S204), the counter value of the normal symbol random number counter (label-TRND-F) The common symbol random number indicated by the symbol is acquired as the common drawing related determination information (S205), and the acquired common drawing related determination information is stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 86 provided in the gaming RAM 104 (S206), step S207 Go to

  In step S207, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won in the second starting opening 12, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the second starting opening sensor 12a. If the game ball has not won in the second start opening 12 (NO in S207), the process proceeds to step S214, and if the game ball has won in the second start opening 12 (YES in S207), the predetermined game ball is specified. The second starting mouth prize ball processing for paying out the number of prize balls is performed (S208). In the second starting mouth winning ball processing, the number of winning balls ("4" in the first embodiment) according to the winning on the second starting opening 12 is added to the winning ball counter for the second starting opening 12.

  Next, the number of special figure 2 reservations (specifically, the numerical value of the counter (special figure 2 reservation number counter) for counting special figures 2 reservations provided in the gaming RAM 104) is 4 or more (upper limit number of memories) It is determined whether there is any (S209). If the special figure 2 reserve number is "4" or more (YES in S209), the process proceeds to step S214, but if the special figure 2 reserve number is not "4" or more (less than "4") ( A special figure 2 reservation number addition process is performed (NO in S209) (S210). In the special figure 2 pending number addition process, the special figure 2 pending number counter is incremented by "1", and the special figure 2 pending number indicated by the special figure 2 pending display 83b is increased by "1".

  Subsequently, special symbol random number counter (label-TRND-T), jackpot symbol type random number counter (label-TRND-OS), reach random number counter (label-TRND-RC), special figure variation pattern random number counter (label-TRND- The special figure 2 related determination information made of HP) is acquired and stored in the special figure related determination information buffer provided in the gaming RAM 104 (S211).

  Next, a second start winning command identification process is performed (S212). In the second start winning command specifying process, the second starting winning combination is collated with the current gaming state and the special view 2 related determination information acquired in step S211 in the second starting opening start winning command specifying table shown in FIG. The command is specified, and the specified second start winning command is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104.

  Subsequently, the gaming control microcomputer 101 stores the special view 2 related determination information acquired in step S211 in the special view 2 suspension storage unit 105b (S213).

  Subsequently, in step S214, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won in the first starting opening 11, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the first starting opening sensor 11a. If the gaming ball is not winning in the first starting opening 11 (NO in S214), the process proceeds to step S221, and if the gaming ball is winning in the first starting opening 11 (YES in S214), predetermined The first starting mouth winning ball processing for paying out the number of winning balls is performed (S215). In the first starting mouth winning ball processing, the number of winning balls ("4" in the first embodiment) according to the winning on the first starting opening 11 is added to the winning ball counter for the first starting opening 11.

  Next, the number of special figure 1 reservations (specifically, the numerical value of a counter (special figure 1 reservation number counter) for counting the number of special illustration 1 reservations provided in the game RAM 104) is "4" (upper limit storage number) or more It is determined whether or not (S216). If the special figure 1 reservation number is "4" or more (YES in S216), the process proceeds to step S221, but if the special figure 1 reservation number is not "4" or more (less than) (NO in S216) And the special figure 1 pending number addition process is performed (S217). In the special figure 1 pending number addition process, the special figure 1 pending number counter is incremented by "1", and the special figure 1 pending number indicated by the special figure 1 pending display 83a is increased by "1".

  Subsequently, special symbol random number counter (label-TRND-T), jackpot symbol type random number counter (label-TRND-OS), reach random number counter (label-TRND-RC), special figure variation pattern random number counter (label-TRND- The special figure 1 related determination information made of HP) is acquired and stored in a special figure related determination information buffer provided in the game RAM 104 (S218).

  Next, a first start winning command identification process is performed (S219). In the first start winning command specifying process, the first starting winning combination is collated with the current gaming state and the special view 1 related determination information acquired in step S218 in the first starting opening start winning command specifying table shown in FIG. The command is specified, and the specified first start winning command is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104.

  Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 stores the special view 1 related determination information acquired in step S218 in the storage area corresponding to the current special view 1 hold count in the special view 1 hold storage unit 105a (S220).

  In step S221, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won in the special winning opening 14, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the special winning opening sensor 14a. If the game ball is not winning in the big winning opening 14 (NO in S221), the sensor detection processing is ended, and if the gaming ball is winning in the big winning opening 14 (YES in S221), the game RAM 104 It is determined whether the counter value of the provided special winning opening winning counter is "9" or more (S222). The special winning opening winning counter is a counter for counting the number of winning in the special winning opening 14 in one round game of the big hit game. The special winning opening winning counter is cleared each time each round game is over. In the first embodiment, the prescribed number of winning is set to "8". Thus, the process of step S222 is performed.

  If the counter value of the special winning opening winning counter is "9" or more (YES in S222), the sensor detection processing is ended, and the counter value of the special winning opening winning counter is not "9" or more, that is, less than "9" If it is (NO in S222), the counter value of the special winning opening winning counter is incremented by 1 (S223), and the special winning opening winning ball processing for paying out the predetermined number of winning balls to the player is performed (S224) ), End the sensor detection process. In the special winning opening prize ball processing, the number of winning balls ("14" in the first embodiment) according to the winning on the special winning opening 14 is added to the winning ball counter for the special winning opening 14.

[Normal operation processing]
Next, the normal operation process related to the control of the common display 82 and the electric drive 12D will be described. As shown in FIG. 39, the processing relating to the spread map display 82 and the electric chart 12D is divided into four statuses (steps). Then, “normal operation status = 1, 2, 3, 4” is assigned to each of those statuses. In the normal operation processing (S105), the gaming control microcomputer 101 first confirms the "normal operation status" (S1101). If the "normal operation status" is "1", the normal symbol standby process (S1102) is performed, and if the "normal operation status" is "2", the normal symbol variation process (S1103) is performed, When the “normal operation status” is “3”, the normal symbol determination process (S1104) is performed, and when the “normal operation status” is “4”, the auxiliary game control process (S1105) is performed. The “normal operation status” is set to “1” in the initial setting.

  The normal symbol standby process (S1102) is a process performed while the variable display of the common drawing and the auxiliary game are not performed. In the common drawing standby process (S1102), the hit determination is performed based on the normal symbol random number stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 86. Further, the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination is performed based on the current gaming state to determine the common drawing fluctuation pattern, and the fluctuation display of the common drawing fluctuation time of the common drawing fluctuation time according to the determined common drawing fluctuation pattern To start and change the normal operation status to "2".

  The normal symbol variation process (S1103) is a process that is performed when a common figure is variably displayed. In the normal symbol variation process (S1103), it is determined whether or not the spread diagram variation time has elapsed since the variation display of the spread diagram being executed has started (whether the variation display of the spread diagram is ended), If it is determined that the figure fluctuation time has elapsed, the stop display of the common drawing is performed based on the hit determination result, and the normal operation status is changed to "3".

  The normal symbol determination process (S1104) is a process that is performed when the drawing is stopped and displayed. In the normal symbol determination process (S1104), whether or not a predetermined stop time (for example, 0.8 seconds) has elapsed since the start of the stop display of the common drawing in progress has ended (the stop display of the common view is ended) If it is determined that the predetermined stop time has elapsed, it is determined whether the stop-displayed popular map is a hit symbol or not. If it is not a hit symbol (if the stop-displayed ordinary drawing is a lost symbol), the normal operation status is changed to "1". On the other hand, if the winning symbol is in the stop display mode, the normal operation status is changed to "4", and the auxiliary game is started based on the current game state and the auxiliary game control table.

  The auxiliary game control process (S1105) is a process performed when an auxiliary game is being performed. In the auxiliary game control process (S1105), the auxiliary game is controlled based on the current game state and the auxiliary game control table. Then, when the auxiliary game ends, the normal operation status is changed to "1".

[Special operation processing]
Next, special operation processing relating to control of the special view display 81, the special view hold display 83, and the big winning device 14D will be described. As shown in FIG. 40, the processing relating to the special view display 81, the special view hold display 83 and the big winning device 14D is divided into five statuses (steps). And "special operation status = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5" is assigned to each of those statuses. The game control microcomputer 101 first confirms the "special operation status" (S1501). When the "special operation status" is "1", the gaming control microcomputer 101 performs the special symbol standby process (S1502), and when the "special operation status" is "2", the special symbol fluctuation A process (S1503) is performed, and when the "special operation status" is "3", the special symbol determination process (S1504) is performed, and when the "special operation status" is "4", the jackpot game control A process (S1505) is performed, and when the "special operation status" is "5", a game state setting process (S1506) is performed. The "special operation status" is set to "1" by default.

  The special symbol standby process (S1502) is a process which is performed while waiting for the variable display of the special symbol and the big hit game. The special symbol standby process will be described in detail later.

  The special symbol variation process (S1503) is a process performed when the special symbol is variably displayed. The special symbol variation process will be described in detail later.

  The special symbol determination process (S1504) is a process performed when the special symbol is stopped and displayed. The special symbol determination process will be described in detail later.

  The jackpot game control process (S1505) is a process performed in the jackpot game. The game control microcomputer 101 performs a jackpot game control process to perform a jackpot game according to the jackpot game control table. When the jackpot game is over, change the special operation status to "5". When each round game is started, a round number designation command indicating the number of rounds is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104. Further, when all round games are finished and ending is started, an ending command indicating an ending according to the big hit game is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104.

  The game state setting process (S1506) is a process of setting the game state based on the game state setting table when the big hit game is ended. The jackpot symbol related to the jackpot game to be finished is collated with the gaming state setting table, and the gaming state after the jackpot game is set. When setting the high probability state, the high probability flag is turned on in the high probability flag area of the gaming RAM 104. Further, at this time, a prescribed number of times (a high probability prescribed number) in which the high probability state can be set (continue) without winning a jackpot is set in a high probability remaining number counter provided in the gaming RAM 104. Further, when setting the time saving state, the time saving flag is turned ON to the time saving flag area of the game RAM 104. Further, at this time, a prescribed number of times (a prescribed number of times reduced) which can set (continue) the time saving state without winning a jackpot is set in a time remaining count counter provided in the gaming RAM 104.

[Special symbol standby process]
Next, the special symbol standby process will be described with reference to FIG. In the special symbol standby process (S1502), first, it is determined whether or not the special drawing 2 reserve number is "0" (S1601). In the case where the number of reserved special figures 2 is "0" (YES in S1601), that is, when there is no storage of the special figure 2 related determination information acquired due to the winning of the second starting port 12, the special figure It is determined whether the number of pending calls is "0" (S1608). Then, when the number of special drawing 1 reservations is also "0" (YES in S1608), that is, when there is no storage of the special drawing 1 related determination information obtained due to the winning of the first starting opening 11, It is determined whether the customer waiting flag is ON (S1618). Here, if the customer waiting flag is ON (YES in S1618), the special symbol waiting process is finished, and if the customer waiting flag is not ON (NO in S1618), a customer waiting command is set in the output buffer (S1619) The customer waiting flag is turned on (S1620), and the special symbol waiting process is ended.

  In addition, when the special figure 2 reserve number is “0” but the special figure 1 reserve number is not “0” (YES in S1601 and NO in S1608), that is, there is no special figure 2 related determination information, but the first start When there is one or more memories of the special figure 1 related determination information acquired due to the winning in the mouth 11, the special figure 1 determination process (S1609) and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process (S1610) are performed.

  In the special view 1 determination process (S1609), the special symbol random number stored in the special view 1 suspension storage unit 105a is read first and stored in the jackpot determination table according to the current gaming state. Based on the judgment of the jackpot or the loss (jump judgment) is performed. At present, in the case of the normal probability state, the jackpot determination is performed using the first probability state judgment table for the normal probability state, and in the case of the high probability state, the jackpot determination is performed using the first jackpot determination table for the high probability state.

  Here, if the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol type random number is read out and the jackpot symbol type determination (jackpot symbol type determination) is performed based on the first jackpot symbol type judgment table. Then, the jackpot symbol data representing the jackpot symbol type is set in the special view buffer provided in the gaming RAM 104, and the symbol designating command representing the jackpot symbol type is set in the output buffer provided in the gaming RAM 104. If the result of the jackpot determination is "loss", the lost symbol data representing the loss is set in the special view buffer, and the symbol designating command representing the loss is set in the output buffer.

  Next, the special view 1 fluctuation pattern determination process (S1610) will be described with reference to FIG. In the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process, first, it is determined whether or not the current time non-short state is currently set (S1651). If it is in the non-time-short state (YES in S1651), the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for the non-time-short state is selected (S1652) and then the process proceeds to step S1654; After the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for the state is selected (S1653), the process proceeds to step S1654.

  In step S1654, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the jackpot determination result is "big hit". If it is a big hit (YES in S1654), the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for big hit is selected from the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table selected in either step S1652 or step S1653 (S1659) and then the step Proceeding to S1660, if it is not a big hit (NO in S1654), reach determination is performed (S1655). In reach determination, reach random numbers are read out, and the reach random numbers are collated with a reach determination table corresponding to the current gaming state (non-short time state / short time state) to determine whether there is a reach or no reach.

  Next, it is determined whether the result of the reach determination in step S1655 is "with reach" (S1656). If there is a reach (YES at S1656), a special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for reach presence loss is selected from the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table selected in either step S1652 or step S1653 (S1658) After that, the process proceeds to step S1660, and if there is no reach (NO in S1656), the current special figure 1 reservation number is confirmed, and in the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table selected in either step S1652 or step S1653. Then, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for the reach-less loss according to the special figure 1 reservation number is selected (S1657), and the process proceeds to step S1660.

  In step S1660, the game control microcomputer 101 reads the special figure fluctuation pattern random number, and collates the special figure fluctuation pattern random number with the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table selected in any of steps S1657 to S1659, Special Figure 1 Variation Pattern Determination The special figure 1 variation pattern determination is performed. Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 sets a special figure 1 fluctuation start command indicating the determined special figure 1 fluctuation pattern in the output buffer (S1661), and the special figure fluctuation according to the determined special figure 1 fluctuation pattern The time is set in the special operation timer (S1662), the special figure 1 variation pattern determination process is ended, and the process returns to the special symbol standby process.

  The special operation timer is updated by 4 ms in the other processing (S107) in the game control timer interrupt processing (S005). In addition, in the special figure 1 fluctuation start command which is set, the information regarding the type of special symbol (that it is special figure 1) and the special figure fluctuation pattern decision which is done with special figure 1 fluctuation pattern decision processing (S1610) The information on the result (the information on the special figure fluctuation pattern including the information on the presence or absence of the reach and the special figure fluctuation time) is included.

  Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 causes the special view 1 display 81a to start the change display of the special view 1 based on the special view change time according to the special view 1 change pattern determined in step S1610 (S1611) .

  Next, the game control microcomputer 101 shifts the storage location (storage area) of the various counter values in the special view 1 suspension storage unit 105a to the side where it is read from the current position, and moves the special location 1 storage unit 105a. The special figure 1 reserve storage unit shift process is executed to clear the storage area corresponding to the first reserve (the storage area farthest from the read side) in (S1612). In this way, the special figure 1 hold is digested in the order in which it is held.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 decrements the special figure 1 pending number counter by “1” (S1613), and changes the special figure 1 pending number indicated by the special figure 1 pending indicator 83a by “1” to change it ( S1614), the special operation status is changed to "2" (S1615).

  Thereafter, the game control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the customer waiting flag is ON (S1616), and if it is ON (YES in S1616), the customer waiting flag is OFF (S1617), and the special symbol standby process is performed. If not finished (NO in S1616), the special symbol standby process is ended without executing step S1617.

  In addition, when the special figure 2 reservation number is not “0” in step S1601 (NO in S1601), that is, one or more of the special figure 2 related determination information acquired due to the winning of the second starting opening 12 is stored. If there is, the special figure 2 determination process (S1602) and the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination process (S1603) are performed. The special figure 2 determination process (S1602) and the special figure 2 variation pattern determination process (S1603) are basically the same process contents as the special figure 1 determination process (S1609) and the special figure 1 variation pattern determination process (S1610) .

  The special figure 2 determination process (S1602) is the special figure 1 except that the table used in the big hit determination is the second big hit determination table, and the table used in the big hit symbol type determination is the second big hit symbol type determination table. Since the process is the same as the determination process (S1609), the description is omitted. Also, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination process (S1603) is basically the special figure 1 variation pattern determination process (except that the table used in the special figure 2 variation pattern determination is the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table ( Since the process is the same as that of S1610), the description is omitted.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 causes the special view 2 display 81b to start the change display of the special view 2 based on the special view change time corresponding to the special view change pattern determined in step S1603 (S1604).

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 shifts the storage location (storage area) of the various counter values in the special view 2 reserve storage unit 105b to the side where it is read from the current position, and moves the special position 2 reserve storage unit 105b. Special figure 2 reserve storage section shift processing which clears the storage territory (the storage territory which is farthest from the side which is read out) which corresponds to the 4th retention in the (S1605). In this way, the special figure 2 suspension is digested in the order in which it was suspended.

  Subsequently, the microcomputer for game control 101 decrements the special figure 2 reserve number counter by "1" (S1606), and decreases the special figure 2 reserve number indicated by the special figure 2 reserve indicator 83b by "1" to change it (S1607) ), The special operation status is changed to “2” (S1615), and the process proceeds to step S1616.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the variable symbol display of the special symbol based on the special figure 1 suspension is performed only when the special figure 2 suspension is "0" (in the case of YES in S1601). That is, the special figure 2 reserve digest is executed prior to the special figure 1 reserve digest. In the first embodiment, the lottery based on the special figure 2 suspension is easier for the player to win the jackpot symbol with a large profit than the lottery based on the special figure 1 suspension. The special figure 1 suspension may be prioritized over the special figure 2 suspension. Further, the special figure 1 suspension and the special figure 2 suspension may be performed in the order in which the suspension occurred regardless of the type of the special diagram.

[Special symbol variation process]
Next, special symbol variation processing will be described using FIG. In the special symbol variation process (S1503), the game control microcomputer 101 first determines whether or not the variation display of the special symbol is ended, that is, the special figure variation time set in the special operation timer in step S1603 or step S1610 has elapsed. It is determined whether or not (special operation counter = 0) (S1701). When the special symbol variation display is not ended (NO in S1701), the special symbol variation processing is ended, and when the special symbol variation display is ended (YES in S1701), the special symbol variation display is displayed on the special figure display 81. The special symbol stop display corresponding to the symbol data (big hit symbol data or lost special symbol data) set in the special view buffer in step S1602 or step S1609 is displayed (S1702).

  Subsequently, the special figure settling time (for example, 0.8 seconds) set in advance is set to the special operation timer (S1703), and the special figure fluctuation stop command indicating that the variation display of the special symbol is finished is output buffer The special operation status is changed to "3" (S1705), and the special symbol variation process is ended.

[Special symbol confirmation process]
Next, special symbol determination processing will be described using FIG. In the special symbol determination process (S1504), the game control microcomputer 101 first determines whether or not the stop display of the special symbol is ended, that is, the special figure determination time set in the special operation timer in step S1703 has elapsed (special It is determined whether or not the operation counter = 0) (S1751). When the stop display of the special symbol is not ended (NO in S1751), the special symbol confirmation process is ended, and when the stop display of the special symbol is ended (YES in S1751), the high probability state (high probability flag ON) It is determined whether or not (S1752).

  If it is not the high probability state (NO in S1752), the process proceeds to step S1756, and if it is the high probability state (YES in S1752), the remaining number of variable displays of special symbols executable in the high probability state (high The value of the high probability remaining number counter for measuring the probability remaining number) is decremented by "1" (S1753), and it is determined whether the value of the high probability remaining number counter is "0" (S1754). If the value of the high probability remaining number counter (high probability remaining number) is not "0" (NO in S1754), the process proceeds to step S1756, and the value of the high probability remaining number counter (high probability remaining number) is "0". If (YES at S1754), the high probability state is shifted to the normal probability state (the high probability flag is turned OFF) (S1755).

  In step S1756, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the time saving state (time saving flag is ON) at present. If it is not the time saving state (NO in S1756), the process proceeds to step S1760, and if it is the time saving state (YES in S1756), the remaining number of variable display of special symbol executable in the time saving state The value of the time short remaining number counter to be measured is decremented by “1” (S1757), and it is judged whether the value of the time short remaining number counter is “0” (S1758). If the value of the time short remaining counter (time short remaining number) is not "0" (NO in S1758), the process proceeds to step S1760, and if the value of the time short remaining number counter (time short remaining number) is "0" (S1758 YES), shift the time saving state to the non-time saving state (turn the time saving flag OFF) (S1759).

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets the gaming state command indicating the current gaming state in the output buffer (S1760), and determines whether the special symbol currently displayed for stop is the big hit symbol (S1761) . If it is not a jackpot symbol (NO in S1761), the special operation status is changed to "1" (S1765), and the special symbol determination process is ended.

  On the other hand, if the jackpot symbol in step S1761 (YES in S1761), the gaming state is reset (normal gaming state is set. Specifically, the high probability flag and the time saving flag are turned off, and the high probability remaining number counter and The value of the time saving remaining number counter is set to “0” (S1762).

  Subsequently, the gaming control microcomputer 101 performs jackpot game preparation processing (S1763), changes the special operation status to "4" (S1764), and ends the special symbol determination processing. In the jackpot game preparation processing, a jackpot game control table corresponding to the type of jackpot symbol is set in a predetermined area of the game RAM 104. In addition, the big hit opening flag which shows that it is in the opening according to the big hit symbol which is stopping indication is turned on in the specified territory of game RAM104, according to the classification of big hit symbol, predetermined opening time (big hit game start Time to the start of one round) is set in the special operation timer. Furthermore, an opening command indicating the type of the jackpot symbol is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 in accordance with the type of the jackpot symbol. The opening command according to the type of the jackpot symbol indicates that the jackpot game (opening of the jackpot game) according to the type of the jackpot symbol displayed and stopped is started.

6. Control of production by production control board 120 [production control main processing]
Next, control of effects by the effect control board 120 will be described with reference to flowcharts of FIGS. A counter, a timer, a flag, a buffer and the like appearing in the following description of control of effects by the effect control board 120 are provided in the effect RAM 124. When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided in the effect control board 120 reads out the program of the sub control main process shown in FIG. 45 from the effect ROM 123 and executes it.

  As shown in the figure, in the sub control main process, first, a power on process according to the power on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, setting of the effect CPU 122, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

  Next, interrupt is prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for performing determination regarding various effects are updated. Note that the effect determination random numbers include various random numbers for determining the effect contents such as the special figure fluctuation effect pattern determination random numbers.

  The updating method of the determination random number counter for various effects can be, for example, the same method as the random number updating process performed by the game control board 100 described above. The random number value may be added by two instead of one by one when updating. The same applies to the random number updating process performed by the game control board 100 described above.

  When the random number seed update process is completed, the command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the effect control board 120 (for example, special figure variation effect start command, customer wait start command, opening effect start command, round effect start described later) A command, an ending effect start command, and the like are transmitted to the image control board 140.

  The image control board 140 which has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a according to the received command (performs various effects by the image). In addition to the various effects performed by the image control substrate 140, the effect control substrate 120 causes the speaker 52 to output a sound via the sound control circuit 161 (performs various effects by sound), and the sub drive substrate The frame lamp 53 is made to emit light through 162 (to execute various effects by the light emission), or the board movable body 56k is actuated (to execute various effects by the operation).

Output is performed.

  Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs light emission data creation processing (S4204). In the light emission data creation process, the light emission data is created based on the effect content and the like indicated by the special view variation effect data set in the effect RAM 124 and the like.

[Receive command analysis process]
Next, the received command analysis process will be described with reference to FIGS. In the reception command analysis process, the effect control microcomputer 121 first receives a start winning command (a first start winning command or a second start winning command) from the game control board 100, in other words, receives a start winning command. It is judged whether it stored in the buffer (S4301). If the effect control microcomputer 121 has received the start winning command (YES in S4301), the process proceeds to step S4302, while if the start winning command is not received (NO in S4301), the process proceeds to step S4303.

  In step S4302, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs start winning processing in accordance with the game ball winning in the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12. In the start winning process, the received start winning command is stored in the start winning command hold storage unit 125 in the effect RAM 124. Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 analyzes the stored start winning command and performs a lottery as to whether or not to execute pre-reading effect indicating the jackpot expectation degree. The pre-reading effect includes, in addition to the holding effect for displaying the special drawing holding number in a special mode, continuous notification effects and the like which are mutually related over the fluctuation display of a plurality of continuous special symbols. When it is determined to execute these pre-reading effects, the pre-reading effect start command for executing the determined effects is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124.

If the effect control microcomputer 121 has not received the symbol designating command (NO in S4303), the process proceeds to step S4305, while if the symbol designating command is received (YES in S4303), the symbol designating command is displayed in the RAM 124 for effect It is stored in the symbol designation command storage unit 126 (step S4304).

  In step S4305, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether the special view change start command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether the special view change start command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the special figure change start command has not been received (NO in S4305), the process proceeds to step S4307, while if the special figure change start command has been received (YES in S4305), the contents of the special figure change presentation are determined , Special figure fluctuation production start process (S4306) for starting special figure fluctuation production is done.

  In the effect control microcomputer 121, in the special figure change effect start process, first, the content of the stop special figure indicated by the symbol designation command already stored in step S4304 (type of big hit symbol, lost special figure) and the special figure change start command A stop symbol pattern determination table for performing stop symbol determination that determines a stop effect symbol is selected based on the special view variation pattern to be shown. A plurality of stop symbol pattern determination tables are provided in association with the special figure and the special figure fluctuation pattern. Therefore, the effect control microcomputer 121 selects one stop symbol pattern determination table associated with the type of stop symbol and the special view fluctuation pattern. In each stop symbol pattern determination table, values of stop symbol pattern determination random numbers (stop symbol pattern determination values) are distributed to a plurality of stop effect symbols so as to obtain a predetermined distribution ratio (%). Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 acquires a value indicated by the stop symbol pattern determination random number counter as a stop symbol pattern determination random number, and performs stop symbol pattern determination based on the acquired stop symbol pattern determination random number. In the stop symbol pattern determination, the effect control microcomputer 121 collates the acquired stop symbol pattern determination random number with the selected stop symbol pattern table, determines the stop effect symbols, and determines the data representing the determined stop effect symbols.

When the image control board 140 receives the special figure change production end command, it ends the special figure change production under execution (stops the effect designs EZ1 to EZ3 during change).

  In step S4309, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether the opening command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether the opening command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the effect control microcomputer 121 has not received the opening command (NO in S4309), the process proceeds to step S4311. On the other hand, if the opening command has been received (YES in S4309), the jackpot associated with the start of the opening of the jackpot game An opening effect start process is performed (S4310). In the opening effect start process, the effect control microcomputer 121 analyzes the opening command, and based on the analysis result, determines whether to execute the opening effect according to the opening of the big hit game to be executed from now on, If it is to be executed, the contents (opening presentation pattern) of the opening presentation are selected, and an opening presentation start command for starting the opening presentation with the selected opening presentation pattern is set in the output buffer of the presentation RAM 124.

If the ending command has not been received (NO in S4313), while the process proceeds to step S4316, while the big hit ending command has been received (YES in S4313), the big hit ending effect start process with the start of the big win game ending (S4314) And rendering mode setting processing (S4315).

  The production control microcomputer 121 analyzes the big hit ending command in the big hit ending production start process, determines whether or not to execute the big hit ending production according to the big hit game ending to be executed from now on, and executes it. If the jackpot ending effect presentation contents (jackpot ending effect pattern) is selected, a jackpot ending effect start command corresponding to the selected jackpot ending effect pattern is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a process for setting the effect mode after the big hit game based on the analysis result of the ending command in the effect mode setting process, specifically, the big hit symbol indicated by the ending command Process to control the mode). For example, if it is the jackpot symbol A or the jackpot symbol D, it is set to a rendering mode that suggests a high probability state and a short time state. Also, if the jackpot symbol B or jackpot symbol C, it is difficult to determine whether it is the high probability state and the short time state, or the normal probability state and the short time state, or it is set to an unrecognizable effect mode. Furthermore, if it is the jackpot symbol E, it is set to the effect mode that suggests the normal probability state and the time saving state. However, the relationship between the jackpot symbol and the effect mode is not limited to this.

  In step S4316, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether a game state command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether a game state command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the gaming state command has not been received (NO in S4316), the effect control microcomputer 121 proceeds to step S4318, while if the gaming state command has been received (YES in S4316), the gaming state command is analyzed and The game state setting process for specifying the game state represented by the game state command and setting the game state is performed (S4317).

  In the game state setting process, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets a game state flag corresponding to the game state indicated by the game state command in the game state flag area of the effect RAM 124. For example, if the gaming state indicated by the gaming state command is the normal gaming state, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the gaming state flag “00H” in the gaming state flag area of the effect RAM 124. Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the game state flag “01H” in the game state flag area of the effect RAM 124 if the game state indicated by the game state command is the high probability state and the short time state. Furthermore, if the gaming state indicated by the gaming state command indicates the normal probability state and the time saving state, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the gaming state flag “02H” in the game state flag area of the effect RAM 124.

  In step S4318, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not the customer waiting command is received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether or not the customer waiting command is stored in the reception buffer. If the effect control microcomputer 121 has not received the customer waiting command (NO in S4318), the reception command analysis process is finished, while if the customer waiting command is received (YES in S4318), the customer waiting effect waiting process (S4319), and the received command analysis process is ended.

  In the customer waiting effect waiting process, the effect control microcomputer 121 waits for a waiting time (for example, 20 seconds for waiting time for customer waiting effect) until the customer waiting effect is started after stop display of the effect pattern is performed. Set to timer. The effect control microcomputer 121 can determine whether or not the standby time has elapsed. If it is determined that the standby time has elapsed, the customer waiting effect start command for starting the customer waiting effect is displayed as the effect RAM 124 Set in the output buffer of
