Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine provided with a backup power supply.

  Even if the power is shut off due to a power failure or the like, the pachinko machine which is a gaming machine known at present is capable of storing information on the game just before the power shutoff by the backup power supply provided on the power supply substrate. Thereby, when the power is restored, it is possible to continue playing the game again from the state before the shutoff.

  In addition, the schematic configuration of the gaming machine is composed of two mechanisms on the board side and the inner frame side, and the mechanism on the board side is changed for each model when changing the model of the gaming machine, but the mechanism on the inner frame side is newly added Even in the case of a new model, it was not changed in response to this each time. That is, it was common for different models to be shared.

  Specifically, a board for performing different control for each gaming machine, such as a main control board (main control device) that controls the progress of a game and a sub control board (sub control device) that controls effects, etc. On the other hand, on the inner frame side, there are provided a power supply substrate for supplying power toward various control substrates, and a payout control substrate (a prize ball control device) for performing control related to a winning ball. In such a conventional gaming machine, as described above, the backup power supply (backup power generation means) is generally provided on the power supply substrate. That is, the backup power supply is provided on the inner frame side provided with the power supply substrate (power supply means).

  By the way, when a defect relating to the progress of the game occurs during the game, there are cases where it is necessary to remove the mechanism on the board side from the gaming machine, that is, the mechanism on the inner frame side, and investigate the cause of the defect. However, in such a case, since the backup power supply is provided on the inner frame side as described above, the power supply to the panel side is interrupted. Then, the information related to the progress of the game, which is stored in the main control board and which is the subject of investigation of the cause of the problem, will be lost, and the player who was playing a game with the gaming machine in which the problem occurred. It could cause great damage to In addition, in order to avoid giving the player the damage, there is a problem that the problem can not be left alone, and as a result, it becomes impossible to cope with it.

  Therefore, the backup power is supplied to the main control board even if the mechanism on the panel side is removed from the mechanism on the inner frame side by providing the power supply substrate comprising the backup power supply not only on the inner frame side but also on the panel side. There is what makes it possible (for example, refer patent document 1).

JP 2005-185369 A

  However, as in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, having the power supply substrate on the board side naturally requires the provision of a new substrate different from the conventional general configuration. In this respect, in recent years, with the increase in the number of effects for presentation provided on the board side, in addition to the drastic increase in the amount of control processing, the game machine in the game has been following the trend of the increase in the number of sub control boards. It was extremely difficult to secure a space for installing a new substrate on the board side.

  Also, usually, the mechanism on the board side is freely designed as a unique configuration for each new model developed one after another. Therefore, with regard to the arrangement position of each substrate, determination of a suitable position has been made freely without being particularly restricted. Therefore, even if only the backup power supply is newly installed somewhere, the relationship with the arrangement position of the other substrate must be taken into consideration, and the design concerning the arrangement position of the substrate is considerably restricted. It was easy to predict.

  In order to solve the problem of such an arrangement position, it can be considered as an effective measure to provide a backup power supply directly on the main control board. However, in such a configuration, there is a risk that the main control board that constitutes the removed mechanism on the side of the board can be replaced in advance with an incorrect main control board loaded with an advantageous state such as a probability change state. It can not be said that it is a measure that can be adopted easily.

  In this respect, by taking some measures, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the design concerning the arrangement position of the backup power supply on the panel side is not so restricted and the backup power supply is not directly provided on the main control board. Then, providing backup power on both the board side and the inner frame side is an excess facility, so there is a very high possibility that it will be integrated into only highly important board side backup power.

  Now, when such a configuration is adopted, the backup power supply to the main control board is secured as described above in the state where the mechanism on the panel side is attached to the mechanism on the inner frame side, but provided on the inner frame side. Backup power is not supplied to the dispensed control board. For this reason, there is a possibility that information or the like relating to the unpaid money immediately before the power shutoff may be lost (volatilized) without being backed up, causing the player to be disadvantaged.

Further, temporarily, a dedicated wiring for transmitting the backup power toward the delivery control substrate is provided by branching from the middle of the wiring for transmitting the backup power toward the main control board from the generation means of the backup power on the board side. In this case, when power is turned on with the mechanism on the board side attached to the mechanism on the inner frame side, the power for backup power generation is supplied from the power supply board toward the payout control board and the main control board. It becomes. However, even with such a configuration, the following problems occur. That is, for example, conventionally, when power is supplied to a CPU provided on a payout control board, at least an IC drive power supply and a power supply for backup power generation are supplied to a backup power supply terminal. The However, in such a configuration, when the panel side mechanism is removed from the inner frame side mechanism, the backup power supply terminal can not be supplied with the power for backup power generation, and thus the supply state is not normal, which causes a problem. It could have occurred.
In other words, in the process of developing a gaming machine, when removing the board and performing performance verification of only the inner frame, etc., the case where the mechanism on the board side is removed from the mechanism on the inner frame side and then the power is turned on. is there. In such a case, the dedicated wiring for transmitting backup power to the above-described payout control board is the inner frame side at the connection portion between the inner frame and the board (for example, the connection point between the frame drawer and the board drawer). And the wiring on the side of the board. In such a state, the wiring on the inner frame side (backup power supply terminal) is in an electrically open (opened) state, so when the power is turned on at this time, the payout control board is removed from the power supply board. While the drive power supply is supplied, the wiring on the inner frame side (backup power supply terminal) connected to the payout control board is open and the voltage becomes unstable, causing a problem. And there was a problem that development was delayed.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a problem occurs when the backup power supply is provided in the mechanism on the panel side and the mechanism on the panel side is removed from the mechanism on the inner frame side. In the state which attached the mechanism by the side of a board to the mechanism by the side of an inner frame, it aims at enabling backup of a main control board and a delivery control board, preventing that.

  The invention according to claim 1 made in view of the above problems is a game in which a main control unit having a main control CPU for controlling the progress of the game is provided on the back side while the game area is formed on the front side. And an award ball control device comprising an award ball control CPU that is detachably attached to a game plate and that performs award control of award media based on a prize, the prize ball control device and the attached game plate The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with a power supply means for supplying power to various devices provided, and a game slot provided with the power supply means.

By providing the backup power supply generation means for generating the information, even when the game board is removed from the play space, information stored by the main control CPU of the main control device can be held.

  Further, the arrangement position of the game slot connector in the game slot is generally fixed even if the type of the game machine is different, so the position of the game board connector to be connected to the game slot connector, and so on The arrangement position, type, size and the like of the game board side relay board having the game board side connector are naturally limited to conditions which can be arranged within a limited area of the game board. Therefore, by mounting the backup power generation means on the game board relay board, the complicated work of examining the position for mounting the backup power generation means, the type of the mounted board, etc. every time the game machine is developed is omitted. It is possible to always fix the disposition position of the backup power generation means.

  In addition, with this configuration, in the state where the mechanism on the panel side is attached from the mechanism on the inner frame side, an award provided on the inner frame side while securing a backup power supply to the main control CPU of the main control device Since the backup power supply to the ball control CPU of the ball control device is also supplied, the player suffers a disadvantage by losing (volatilizing) information etc. relating to the unpaid money immediately before the power shutoff without being backed up. It is possible to prevent

  Further, by configuring in this manner, the second ball is connected to the prize ball control CPU even when the power is turned on in a state where the mechanism on the panel side is removed from the mechanism on the inner frame side, that is, in the state of the inner frame alone. Power can be supplied to the wiring (backup power supply terminal) from the power supply substrate 1065 via the diode 1100 and the branch point.

  Furthermore, according to such a configuration, the circuit including the prize ball control device including the power supply means and the prize ball control CPU is added to the third wire for supplying power from the power supply means to the prize ball control CPU. The circuit is closed by the backflow prevention means, the branch point, and the second wiring (backup power supply terminal) for supplying backup power to the prize ball control CPU. Therefore, the voltage (potential) of the second wiring that supplies the backup power supply to the prize ball control CPU does not become unstable (does not cause instability), and there is no risk of becoming an unintended behavior and causing a problem.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 19, FIG. 20, FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 instead of FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. Since the configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the illustration and description here will be omitted as it uses drawings and descriptions other than those of FIGS. 11, 12, 14 and 16 of the first embodiment.

First, as described above, the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration described below, and the other configuration is common. In this embodiment, as compared with the first embodiment, the backup power generation means related to the main control board 80 provided on the game board 40 side is generated by the power supply board 65 provided on the inner frame 30 side. Instead, the first feature is the provision of the board frame wiring relay terminal board 92 (game board relay board) which is a configuration of the game board 40 side.
In addition, storage of information on the winning balls and the like when the power is shut off is not carried out by the main control board 80 (main control means or main control device), not the payout control board 81 (winning ball control means or winning ball control device). The second feature is the point that is made to flow. Hereinafter, it demonstrates in detail, showing in figure.

Based on FIG. 19 to FIG. 22, the power supply lines and signal lines of the power supply board 65 and payout control board 81 etc. on the inner frame 30 side and the main control board 80 and rendering symbol control board 82 etc. on the game board 40 side.

Supply (feed) is performed via the terminal board (relay terminal board 1) 91. Further, the ground line (GND) of the power supply substrate 65 is connected to the sheet metal portion of the pachinko machine.

The power supply board 65 supplies power to the payout control board 81 with GND, DC 12 VA power supply generated by the power supply board 65, and DC 5 VA power supply, and also allows transmission of RWM initialization signal and power failure detection signals 1 and 2 to the payout control board 81 It is done.
The power supply board 65 supplies power to the first relay terminal board 91 with GND, DC 32 VA power supply generated by the power supply board 65, DC 18 VB power supply, DC 12 VB power supply, DC 12 VB power supply, DC 12 VA power supply, DC 5 VA power supply, RWM initialization signal and power failure detection signal 1 , 2 are connected to the first relay terminal board 91 so as to be transmittable.

  In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the power supply substrate 65 is configured not to generate the DC5 VBB power supply as a backup power supply for memory backup.

  Further, the power supply substrate 65 does not generate the DC5 VBB power supply as a backup power supply for memory backup, and thus does not supply a backup power for memory backup to the payout control substrate 81. Therefore, when the power is shut off, the payout control board 81 of the present embodiment can not hold information on the payout control such as the number of unpaid balls at the time of shutoff.

  As shown in FIGS. 19 and 21 and in FIG. 13, among the various power supplies and the various signals, GND, DC5VA power supply, DC12VA power supply, DC32VA power supply, RWM initialization signal, and power failure detection signals 1, 2 It is connected to the frame side first drawer connector 71 B via the first relay terminal plate 91.

  The pin arrangement of the connection terminals of the frame side first drawer connector 71B to which these power supplies and signals are connected is configured as shown in FIG. 22 (a). In the first drawer connector 71B consisting of 16 pins which are vertically arranged in two stages and eight pins arranged in a row, one side edge 403 (303 which is the rotation center when assembling the game board 40 to the inner frame 30 GND is connected to the upper and lower pins 1 and 2, and the third and fourth pins adjacent to the upper and lower pins of the end on the) side.

  And among the power supplies and signals except GND, the DC5VA power supply, which is the CPU drive power supply for the main control board 80, is connected to the upper and lower pins 5, 6 and 7 that are closest to the rotation center There is. The DC12VA power supply is connected to the 8th and 9th pins, the DC32VA power supply is connected to the 10th and 11th pins, and the RWM initialization signal and the power failure detection signals 1 and 2 are respectively connected to the 12th, 13th and 14th pins. , GND is connected to the 16th pin.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the DC5VA power source, which is a power source for driving the CPU of the main control board 80, is connected to the seventh pin, and the DC5VBB power source is used as a backup power source for memory backup from the power source board 65. The configuration to be connected is not adopted.
The DC 12 VA power supply is used as a power supply of switches for detecting game balls, a power supply for displaying the number of stored memories, a special drawing, and LEDs for displaying a common figure. The DC 32 VA power supply is used as a power supply such as a solenoid for opening the special view start opening 414 or a solenoid for opening the special winning opening 415.

  Of course, the pin arrangement of the board-side first drawer connector 71A connected to the frame-side first drawer connector 71B is also the same.

  In the panel frame wiring relay terminal plate 92 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, it is in the middle to the panel side first drawer connector 71A and the main control device supply connector 92A for connecting to the main control board 80. A backup power generation unit 99 is provided. The main controller supply connector 92A has pins 1 to 16 and power supplied to pins 1 to 16 of the first drawer connector 71A described above (the DC5VA for pin 7 is a backup power supply) The signal is generated to DC5 VBB by the generation means 99 and the signal is supplied to the main control device receiving connector 80A on the main control board 80 side via the first to sixteenth pins.

  The backup power supply generation unit 99 is a device for generating a DC5 VBB power supply as a backup power supply for memory backup of the main control board 80. The backup power supply generation means 99 is provided between the board-side first drawer connector 71A of the board frame relay terminal plate 92 and the main control device supply connector 92A. The backup power supply generation means 99 generates DC5 VBB by using the DC5 VA power supply which is a part of the DC 5 VA power supply, the DC 12 VA power supply, and the DC 32 VA power supply inputted via the panel side first drawer connector 71A. The DC5 VBB is supplied to the main control board 80 via the main controller supply connector 92A.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, main control is performed via the board frame wiring relay terminal board 92 to which the board side first drawer connector 71A and the backup power generation means 99 are attached on the game board 40 side. The substrate 80 is supplied with GND, DC5VA power supply, DC12VA power supply, DC32VA power supply, and DC5VBB power supply generated by the backup power supply generation means 99 using the DC5VA power supply, and the RWM initialization signal and the power failure detection signals 1 and 2 are It is connected communicably.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, DC5VA is input via the seventh pin of the connected frame-side first drawer connector 71B and the seventh pin of the board-side first drawer connector 71A, and the DC5VA is used. Then, the backup power supply generation means 99 provided on the panel frame wiring relay terminal plate 92 generates a DC5 VBB power supply as a backup power source, and the DC5 VBB power source is used as the seventh pin in the upper right portion of the panel frame relay terminal plate 92 in FIG. Also, power can be transmitted to the main control board 80 via the seventh pin in the upper left portion of the main control board 80 in the drawing.

  This causes, for example, some trouble to occur during the game, and the game board 40 has to be removed from the inner frame 30 and investigated for cause investigation, and the frame side first drawer connector 71B and the board side first drawer connector Even when the connection state of 71A is released and power from the power supply board 65 provided on the inner frame 30 is not supplied to the main control board 80 provided on the game board 40, the board side Since the panel frame wiring relay terminal plate 92 provided with the first drawer connector 71A is provided with the backup power supply generation means 99 for generating a backup power supply (DC5 VBB power supply) for memory backup of the main control board 80, main control It is possible to avoid the volatilization of the information stored in the substrate 80, to prevent the player who was in the middle of the game from being damaged, and to leave the defect. Rukoto investigate the cause surely it can not.

  In addition, the backup power supply generation means 99 is not provided with a unique new substrate, but is provided in the panel frame wiring relay terminal board 92 provided conventionally, so the game board side where the narrowing progresses It is not necessary to secure a new space for providing the backup power generation means 99 in the area of (1), and the backup power generation means 99 can be easily provided.

  In addition, similarly, since the backup power supply generation means 99 is newly provided, it is provided on the panel frame wiring relay terminal board 92 provided conventionally, instead of providing a unique new substrate, so on the game board side The backup power supply generation means 99 can be easily provided without being restricted by the arrangement relationship with the provided other configuration.

  Furthermore, since the backup power supply generation means 99 is not provided directly on the main control board 80, but is provided on the panel frame wiring relay terminal board 92, an incorrect main control in which an advantageous state such as a positive change state is loaded in advance. There is no risk of replacing the substrate.

  The second drawer connector 72A, the second drawer connector 72B, the third drawer connector 73A, and the third drawer connector 73B according to the present embodiment have the same configuration as the first embodiment. It is.

  Although not shown, in the main control board 80 of this embodiment, the payout information pertaining to the prize balls generated due to the winnings on the various winning openings and the like disposed in the gaming area 41 of the gaming board 40 is It is configured to be input. Furthermore, the main control board 80 has a predetermined memory capable of storing the payout information. The memory can be backed up by the DC5 VBB power supply generated by the above-described backup power supply generation means 99 (see FIG. 21) even when the game board 40 is removed from the inner frame 30 at the time of power shutoff.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control board 80 stores dispensing information generated by the dispensing control of the dispensing control board 81, and the main control board 80 is provided with a backup power supply (DC5 VBB power supply). did. Further, as described above, the power supply substrate 65 does not generate the DC5 VBB power supply as a backup power supply for memory backup with respect to the delivery control substrate 81, so that the power supply of the delivery control substrate 81 of this embodiment is cut off. It was impossible to hold information related to the payout control such as the number of unpaid balls at the time of disconnection.
As a result, the main control board 80 backed up by the backup power supply (DC5VBB power supply) is disconnected even if the game board 40 is removed from the inner frame 30 by shutting off the power during the game in order to investigate the cause due to some trouble. Since the payout information relating to the unpaid payout can be stored in memory, there is no risk of causing the player to be disadvantaged.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, it does not limit to this. For example, in the embodiment described above, the configuration has been exemplified in which the winning balls are paid out of the machine, but the invention is not limited thereto. A predetermined number of gaming balls are enclosed in a pachinko machine base and the enclosed gaming balls are While firing toward the game area, collecting the launched game balls, and re-launching the collected game balls to use the predetermined number of game balls in circulation cyclically to play a game, and based on winnings The present invention may be applied to an enclosed type pachinko machine that adds data relating to the number of acquired gaming balls to be awarded to the number-of-playable gaming ball number data.

  In the second embodiment, the play frame side relay board provided with the frame-side first drawer connector 71B may be provided on the inner frame 30 side. As a result, when the frame-side first drawer connector 71B is provided on the inner frame 30 side, the board is mounted on the play frame-side relay board, not directly on the inner frame 30, and then the inner frame is installed. Since it is provided at 30, the installation becomes easy.

  In the second embodiment (see FIGS. 19 to 21), power supplies of DC5VA, DC12VA, and DC32VA are generated by the power supply substrate 65, and the power supplies are the frame-side first drawer connector 71B and the board-side first drawer connector. The configuration is such that the backup power generation means 99 generates DC5VBB using DC5VA, which is input to the panel frame wiring relay terminal board 92 via 71A, and transmits the DC5VBB to the main control board 80. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, in the power supply substrate 65, at least DC12VA may be generated and DC5VA may not be generated. Further, the backup power generation means 99 may be provided on the panel frame wiring relay terminal board 92 as in the second embodiment. Furthermore, when the DC12VA is input from the power supply substrate 65 via the panel wiring relay terminal plate 92, the main control substrate 80 performs processing for converting the DC12VA into DC5VA, and the conversion is generated. The DC5VA is supplied to the backup power generation means 99 of the panel frame wiring relay terminal plate 92, and the backup power generation means 99 generates DC5VBB using the supplied DC5VA, and the main control board 80 stores the memory by the DC5VBB. You may make it back up. As a result, the power supply substrate 65 can reduce the type of power supply to be generated, and the cost can be reduced by simplifying the configuration.

In the second embodiment (see FIGS. 19 to 22), although the DC5 VBB generated by the backup power generation unit 99 is supplied only to the main control board 80, in addition to this configuration, the inner frame 30 side is provided. Alternatively, a backup power generation unit different from the backup power generation unit 99 may be provided to supply the DC5 VBB generated by the other backup power generation unit also to the payout control substrate 81. At this time, unlike the second embodiment, the main control board 80 does not store the unpaid payout information, and stores the game information stored by the supplied DC 5 VBB, while the payout control board 81 is the second embodiment. Unlike the above, it is also possible to store unpaid payout information and to store the stored payout information by the supplied DC 5 VBB.
When configured in this way, even if the game board 40 is removed from the inner frame 30 due to some problem during the game, the DC5 VBB generated by the individual backup power generation means is supplied to the payout control board 81 and the payout is made The control board 81 can store and hold the payout information. Therefore, even if the game board 40 is removed from the inner frame 30 or not removed, the pachinko machine 1 is configured to be able to reliably hold the payout information.

  Furthermore, in the second embodiment described above, the power supply substrate 65 functions as a power supply for driving the CPU of the main control substrate 80, such as a DC5VA power supply, a power supply of switches for detecting gaming balls, the number of reserved memories, and a special view. As a power source for displaying LEDs, etc. for displaying common figures, a DC12VA power source, a DC32VA power source as a power source for a solenoid for opening the special figure starting port 414 or a solenoid for opening the big winning port 415 Furthermore, the backup power supply generation unit 99 exemplifies a configuration in which the DC5 VBB power supply is generated as a backup power supply for memory backup of the main control board 80. However, the voltage of the various power supplies generated for each application is not limited to 5 V, 12 V, and 32 V described above, but may be a voltage that can sufficiently withstand the application when supplied as each application. Other voltages may be used. For example, even if 5V is 5.5V, there is no problem in use.

Third Embodiment
Next, in the above-described second embodiment (see FIGS. 19 to 22), the DC 5 VBB generated by the backup power generation unit 99 is configured to be supplied only to the main control substrate 80. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration is also devised in which the DC5 VBB generated by the backup power generation unit 99 is also supplied to the payout control board 81 on the inner frame 30 side.
In this regard, first, an electrical schematic configuration of the pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment will be described again with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a schematic electric wiring diagram in which the characteristic electric configuration of the second embodiment described in FIGS. 19 to 22 is simplified. The pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment includes a game board 40 provided with a main control board 80, and an inner frame 30 provided with a power supply board 65 and a payout control board 81. The game board 40 and the inner frame 30 are connected by the board-side first drawer connector 71A and the frame-side first drawer connector 71B. Further, a backup provided on a panel frame wiring relay terminal board 92 (not shown) provided with the panel side first drawer connector 71A using the power supplied from the power supply substrate 65 to the main control substrate 80 by the connection. The power supply generation means 99 is configured to be able to generate a backup power supply (DC5VBB) of the main control board 80.

  Furthermore, although not described in the second embodiment described above, the wiring provided from the power supply substrate 65 toward the main control substrate 80 is more specifically a configuration on the game board 40 side, and the board side 1) A diode that prevents the backflow of current toward the power supply substrate 65 (backflow prevention function or rectification function) on the wiring location of the backup power generation means 99 on the wiring of the drawer connector 71A in the direction of the power supply substrate 65 100 is provided. As a result, the power generated by the power supply substrate 65 always flows in the direction from the power supply substrate 65 toward the main control substrate 80.

Based on the configuration of the second embodiment, in addition to the configuration to supply only the main control board 80, the backup power supply generated by the backup power generation means 99 is also supplied to the payout control board 81. In this case, it is assumed to adopt a method of newly installing a wire indicated by a broken line in the figure. That is, in order to supply drive power and backup power for main control board 80, it is provided from main board first drawer connector 71A (board frame wiring relay terminal board 92 provided with the drawer connector) toward main control board CPU. A configuration may be considered in which a dedicated wiring is provided separately from the above wiring, and branched from the wiring to supply backup power of the payout control substrate 81 toward the payout control substrate CPU. As shown in the figure, in a state where the game board 40 is attached to the inner frame 30, a backup power supply is made from the power supply board 65 through the frame-side first drawer connector 71B, the diode 100 and the board-side first drawer connector 71A. It is provided separately from the wiring leading to the generation means 99. Further, the power supply substrate 65 supplies 5 V of driving power to the payout control substrate 81.
Therefore, in a state where the game board 40 is attached to the inner frame 30, that is, in a state where the frame side first drawer connector 71B and the board side first drawer connector 71A are electrically connected, the power supply board 65 and the payout control board The CPU 81, the diode 100, and the backup power supply generation means 99 form a closed circuit by the wiring connecting them individually. In this state, when the power supply from the power supply substrate 65 is interrupted, the backup power supply generated by the backup power supply generation means 99, that is, the backup power supply for the main control substrate 80 and the backup power supply for the payout control substrate 81. Are respectively supplied to the target CPU for main control board or the CPU for payout control board through the above-mentioned different wirings.
As described above, since the main control board 80 and the dispensing control board 81 are individually supplied with backup power, the main control board 80 is supplied without storing unpaid dispensing information, unlike the second embodiment. The memory of game information is held by the DC5 VBB. On the other hand, unlike the second embodiment, the payout control board 81 can be configured to store unpaid payout information and to hold the storage of the payout information by the supplied DC 5 VBB.
At this time, the gaming information stored in the main control board 80 is, for example, the type of the current gaming state in which the pachinko machine 1 is controlled (low probability and time saving state, low probability and time saving state, high probability and time saving It is information such as no state, and any type of high probability and time saving state), information relating to winning on the starting opening, information relating to storage on hold, and the like.

  By the way, in such a configuration, not only the main control board 80 but also the payout control board 81 can be backed up, but the following problems also occur at the same time. That is, for example, when a failure occurs and the game board 40 is removed from the inner frame 30 under some circumstances such as for the cause investigation, that is, the frame-side first drawer connector 71B and the board-side first drawer connector 71A Is electrically disconnected, backup power is supplied from the backup power generation means 99 only to the main control board 80. However, since the frame-side first drawer connector 71B and the panel-side first drawer connector 71A are electrically disconnected and the wiring to the payout control substrate 81 is opened (electrically disconnected), the backup power generation means is provided. 99 can not supply backup power to the payout control board 81. Therefore, even if the game board 40 is attached to the inner frame 30 again after the cause of the problem is determined, etc., the CPU of the payout control board 81 relates to the unpaid money before removal, that is, immediately before the game interruption. There is a possibility that the player may be disadvantaged, for example, information may be lost (volatilized).

Further, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 23, even if the dedicated board for supplying backup power related to the payout control board 81 is provided, the game board 40 is removed from the inner frame 30, that is, the frame When the panel side first drawer connector 71A is removed from the first side drawer connector 71B, when the power is turned on by the power supply board 65, the voltage of the backup power supply terminal (wiring) of the payout control board 81 becomes unstable. , There was a risk of problems.
That is, when the game board 40 is attached to the inner frame 30 when the power is turned on by the power supply board 65 (the frame-side first drawer connector 71B and the board-side first drawer connector 71A are connected) The power supply for backup generation is input to the backup power supply terminal of the CPU of the payout control board 81. Further, when the game board 40 is attached to the inner frame 30 and the power is shut off, the backup power generated by the backup power generation means 99 is paid out via the line indicated by the broken line. It is input to the backup power supply terminal of the 81 CPU. However, if the game board 40 is removed from the inner frame 30 (the first drawer connector 71B and the first drawer connector 71A are disconnected), the backup power supply terminal is connected to the backup power supply terminal. It will not be input. In this case, the power supply 5V for driving the IC is input from the power supply board 65 to the CPU of the payout control board 81. On the other hand, a situation occurs where power is not input to the backup power supply terminal. It may also cause a CPU failure.
In other words, in a state in which the board-side first drawer connector 71A is removed from the frame-side first drawer connector 71B, the circuit including the power supply board 65 and the payout control board 81 is open in the frame-side first drawer connector 71B. It has become. That is, the wiring for supplying the driving power from the power supply substrate 65 toward the main control substrate 80 is disconnected at the frame side first drawer connector 71B. Further, the wiring for supplying the backup power from the backup power generation means 99 shown by the broken line toward the payout control board 81 is also interrupted at the frame side first drawer connector 71B. Therefore, the circuit is in an open state because the two wires are not in an electrical connection state.
Now, assuming that power is supplied from the power supply substrate 65 in such a state, although the power supply wiring for driving power supply is connected from the power supply substrate 65 to the CPU of the delivery control substrate 81, the delivery control substrate 81 Since the wiring for the backup power supply of the CPU is interrupted and opened as described above, a state where the voltage of the backup power supply terminal (wiring) becomes unstable occurs.
Then, when a state occurs in which the voltage of the backup power terminal (wiring) of the payout control board 81 becomes unstable as described above, for example, the gaming board 40 is removed from the inner frame 30 at the development stage of the gaming machine. There is a problem that it is necessary to turn on the power in the state and carry out various verifications, and in such a case, development may be delayed.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 23, a backup power supply generation means 99 is provided on the game board 40 side, and the backup power supply generation means 99 generates backup power for the main control board 80 and the payout control board 81, When the backup power supply for the dispensing control substrate 81 is configured to be supplied from the power supply substrate 65 to the dispensing control substrate 81 by a wire provided separately from the wiring for driving power supply of the main control substrate 80, as described above An issue will occur.
The third embodiment of the present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the third embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 24 is a schematic electrical wiring diagram of a pachinko machine 1001 which is a ball and ball game machine according to the third embodiment. The third embodiment is different from the configuration of FIG. 23 described above in the arrangement position of the diode, the configuration of the wiring for backup power supply to the payout control substrate, and the like, and the other configuration is substantially the same. The correspondence between the configuration of FIG. 23 and the configuration of the third embodiment is that the pachinko machine 1 is the pachinko machine 1001, the inner frame 30 is the inner frame 1030, the game board 40 is the game board 1040, and the payout control board 81 is. On the delivery control board 1081, the power supply board 65 on the power supply board 1065, the main control board 80 on the main control board 1080, the diode 100 on the diode 1100, the backup power generation means 99 on the backup power generation means 1099, The one drawer connector 71B corresponds to the frame-side first drawer connector 1071B, and the board-side first drawer connector 71A corresponds to the board-side first drawer connector 1071A.

The schematic electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 1001 of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the point which overlaps with description of a structure of FIG. 23 may be omitted suitably.
A pachinko machine 1001 according to the third embodiment includes an inner frame (game frame) 1030 including at least a power supply substrate 1065 and a payout control substrate 1081, and a game board 1040 including at least a main control substrate 1080. The inner frame 1030 includes a frame-side first drawer connector 1071B, and the game board 1040 includes a board-side first drawer connector 1071A. When the game board 1040 is attached to the inner frame 1030, the board-side first drawer connector 1071A is attached to the frame-side first drawer connector 1071B, whereby the inner frame 1030 and the game board 1040 are electrically connected.

The power supply substrate 1065 supplies 5 V power for drive to the CPU of the payout control substrate 1081 similarly provided in the inner frame 1030 using the illustrated third wiring. The third wiring is a wiring which can electrically connect and supply power from the power supply substrate 1065 to the CPU of the payout control substrate 1081.
Further, the power supply substrate 1065 is connected to the CPU of the main control substrate 1080 by using a different wiring from the third wiring, which is a wiring for supplying driving power to the CPU of the delivery control substrate 1081. Similarly, the 5 V power source for drive is supplied via the 1 drawer connector 1071B and the board first drawer connector 1071A.
