  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a push button 31B is provided, which allows a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like. The operation on the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting the player's operation (operation etc.), but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is fired toward the game area by the player's rotation operation on the ball striking operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the gaming ball passes through the passing gate 41, a regular drawing game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In addition, when a game ball passes passage gate 41 during a period during execution of the last game of a game (when a game ball passes passage gate 41, but a game game based on the passage can not be executed immediately) The regular game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

  In this common-play game, when a specific normal symbol (per-flat symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal symbol is "per common-word". On the other hand, if an ordinary symbol other than the symbol per common drawing (general drawing loss symbol) is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "general drawing lost". When it becomes "per common drawing", opening control which makes the normally variable winning a prize ball device 6B open for a predetermined period is performed (the second start winning opening becomes open).

  When the game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the first special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

  When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the second special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

  In addition, when the game ball enters into the start winning opening (winning) during the period during execution of the special figure game, and the period controlled to the big hit gaming state and the small hit gaming state to be described later (start winning is generated When the special figure game based on the starting winning combination can not be executed immediately), the special figure game based on the entry is suspended from being executed up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  If special symbols (big hit symbols such as "7", the actual symbols differ according to the big hit type described later) are displayed as special symbols in the special figure game, they will be "big hits" and they will be big hit symbols If a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol, for example, "2") different from that is displayed stopped, it becomes "small hit". Also, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol (a lost symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it is a "loss".

  After the display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as an advantageous advantageous state for the player. After the display result in the special view game becomes "small hit", the small hit gaming state is controlled.

  In the jackpot gaming state, the player can obtain a winning ball by advancing the gaming ball into the big winning opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The greater the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state, and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

  In the "big hit", a big hit type is set. For example, a large winning opening opening mode (round number and opening upper limit period), a gaming state after the big hit gaming state (described later, normal state, time saving state, probability variation state, etc.) prepared a plurality of types, according to these The type is set. As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type capable of obtaining many prize balls, or a jackpot type with few prize balls or hardly capable of obtaining prize balls.

  In the small hit gaming state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit gaming state, the opening mode similar to the big hit gaming state at the time of some big hit classifications (the number of opening of the big winning opening is the same as the number of rounds, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same Etc.) the big winning opening is open. As in the case of the big hit type, the "small hit" may be provided with a small hit type.

  After the big hit gaming state ends, depending on the big hit type, it may be controlled to the time saving state or the probability changing state.

  In the short time state, control (time reduction control) is executed to shorten the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure changes) compared to the normal state. In the time saving state, by shortening the average spread map fluctuation time (period for changing the spread map) than in the normal state, or by improving the probability of being “per spread map” in the spread game game, than in the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that facilitates the game ball to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol (in particular, the second special symbol) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

  In the probability variation state (probability variation state), in addition to the time saving control, probability variation control is performed in which the probability that the display result is a "big hit" is higher than that in the normal state. The probability change state is a state more advantageous to the player because the probability change state of the special symbol is likely to be a "big hit" in addition to the improvement of the variation efficiency of the special symbol.

  The time saving state or the probability changing state continues until any one end condition such as the fact that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times and the start of the next big hit gaming state is established first. It is also referred to as “the number of times cut (short in the number of times, short in the number of times definite change, etc.)” as the end condition that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is the end condition.

  The normal state is a gaming state other than the special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state which is advantageous for the player, a short time state, a definite change state, etc., and the display result in the common drawing game is "per common drawing". The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special view game will be a "big hit" is a preset state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, as in the case of system reset) It is a state controlled in the same way as when the processing was not performed.

  A state in which the probability change control is being performed is also referred to as a high probability state, and a state in which the probability variation control is not performed is also referred to as a low probability state. A state in which time saving control is being performed is also referred to as a high base state, and a state in which time saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low base state. Combining these, the short time state is also referred to as a low probability high base state, the high probability state is a high probability high base state, and the normal state is a low probability low base state. The high certainty state and the low base state are also referred to as the high certainty base state.

  After the small hit gaming state ends, the change of the gaming state is not performed, and the control result of the special drawing game is continuously controlled to the previous gaming state to become the "small hit" (but the "small hit" occurs) When the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above-mentioned number cut, the game state is naturally changed). In addition, it is not necessary to have a "small hit" as a display result of the special drawing game.

  The gaming state may change based on the fact that the gaming ball has passed a specific area (for example, a specific area in the big winning opening) during the big hit gaming state. For example, when the gaming ball passes the specific area, it may be controlled to be in the positive changing state after the big hit gaming state.

(Progress of progress etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of informing the progress of the game or boosting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The said effect is demonstrated below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display 5, but in addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or the game effect lamp 9 The operation may be performed by the operation of the movable body of the effect device 300 or the like.

  In the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or (2) In response to the start of the special figure game, variable display of the decorative pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special drawing game and the second special drawing game, the finalized decorative symbol (a combination of three decorative symbols) which is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol ) Is also displayed (derived).

  In a period from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol to the end thereof, the aspect of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach aspect (reach is established). Here, with the reach mode, when the decorative symbol stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later, variable display is performed for the decorative symbol not yet stopped and displayed. Is the aspect that is continuing.

  In addition, reach production is executed corresponding to becoming the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative design. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a ratio (also called a big hit reliability or a big hit expectation) in which the display result (display result of the special drawing game or display of the variable display of the decorative symbol) becomes “big hit” according to the presentation mode. A plurality of different types of reach effects are performed. The reach production includes, for example, a normal reach and a super reach having a higher hit reliability than the normal reach.

  When the display result of the special view game is "big hit", a finalized decoration pattern to be a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern on the screen of the image display device 5 The display result of the variable display of the symbol becomes "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative symbol (for example, "7" etc.) is displayed on stop on the predetermined effective line in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right". .

  If it is a "probable big hit" controlled to a definite change state after the end of the big hit gaming state, odd decorative symbols (for example, "7" etc.) are aligned and stop displayed, and after the end of the big hit gaming state In the case of "non-probable variation big hit (usually big hit)" which is not controlled, even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6" etc.) may be arranged to be stopped and displayed. In this case, an odd decorative pattern is also referred to as a probability variation pattern, and an even number decorative pattern is also referred to as a non-probability variation symbol (normal pattern). After reaching the reach mode with a non-deterministic symbol, a promotion effect that finally becomes a "possibly large hit" may be executed.

  When the display result of the special view game is "small hit", a finalized combination symbol (for example, "a small hit combination defined in advance as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5). 1 3 5 "etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes" small hit "). As an example, the decorative symbols forming the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of big hit gaming state of the same aspect as small hit gaming state) and when it becomes "small hit" , A fixed finalized design may be derived and displayed.

  When the display result of the special view game is "loss", the display mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol does not become the reach mode, but the fixed decorative symbol of the non-reach combination is displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (" Sometimes it is stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach loss"). Also, when the display result is "loss", a predetermined reach combination which is not a big hit combination ("reach loss") as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol after the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes the reach aspect. There is also a case where the finalized decorative pattern is displayed in a stopped state (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes “reach loss”).

  The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, an advance notice effect or the like for giving notice of the jackpot reliability is executed while the decorative symbol is variably displayed. The advance notice effects include advance notice effects for giving notice of the jackpot reliability in the variable display in execution, and pre-reading notice effects for giving notice of the jackpot reliability in the variable display before execution (variable display for which execution is suspended). As the pre-reading advance notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the normal mode may be performed.

  Further, in the image display device 5, by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol temporarily while the decorative symbol is being variably displayed, the variable display is resumed to make one variable display appear as if it were a plurality of variable displays in a pseudo manner. The pseudo series effect may be performed.

  During the jackpot gaming state, a jackpot during the jackpot to notify the jackpot gaming state is executed. As the jackpot effect, an effect of informing the number of rounds or a promotion effect indicating that the value of the jackpot gaming state is improved may be executed. In addition, during the small hitting game state, during the small hitting during the small hitting game state which is notified the small hitting game state is executed. In addition, during the small hit gaming state, and some of the big hit type (big hit type of the big hit gaming state of the same manner as the small hit gaming state, for example, a big hit type that makes the subsequent gaming state highly probable) Depending on the state, the player may not know whether the present is in the small hit gaming state or the big hit gaming state by executing a common effect. In such a case, by performing a common effect after the end of the small hit gaming state and after the end of the big hit gaming state, it is not possible to distinguish whether it is a high probability state or a low probability state. May be

  Further, for example, when the special drawing game or the like is not executed, a demonstration (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (variation patterns described later, effects control commands described later, data such as various tables referred to when performing various determinations described later) are used, and the RAM 102 is used as a main memory. . The RAM 102 is a backup RAM in which stored contents are stored for a predetermined period of time even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is partially or entirely stopped. Note that all or part of the program stored in the ROM 101 may be expanded on the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102.

  The random number circuit 104 is capable of updating numerical data indicating various random number values (game random numbers) used when controlling the progress of the game. The gaming random numbers may be updated (updated by software) as the CPU 103 executes a predetermined computer program.

  The I / O 105 includes, for example, input ports to which various signals (detection signals to be described later) are input, and various signals (first special symbol display device 4A, second special symbol display device 4B, ordinary symbol display 20, and first hold. An output port for transmitting a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the common view hold display 25C and the like, and a solenoid drive signal) is configured.

  The switch circuit 110 detects detection signals (game balls pass) from various switches (gate switch 21, start port switch (first start port switch 22A and second start port switch 22B), count switch 23) for detecting game balls. A detection signal or the like indicating that the switch has been turned on is entered and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, it is detected that the game ball has passed or entered.

  The solenoid circuit 111 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal to turn on the solenoid 81 and the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the ordinary motorized role and the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door. Transmit

  The main board 11 (microcomputer 100 for game control), as part of the control of the progress of the game, according to the progress of the game effect control command (command to specify (notice) the progress of the game etc.) effect control board Supply to 12. The effect control command output from the main substrate 11 is relayed by the relay substrate 15 and supplied to the effect control substrate 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main substrate 11 (for example, display results of special drawing games (including a big hit type), fluctuation patterns used when executing the special drawing games (described in detail later) ), Game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big winning opening, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, gaming state), command for designating occurrence of error and the like are included.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives an effect control command, and effects (various effects corresponding to the progress of the game based on the effect control command received, It has a function of performing various notifications such as driving of the movable body of the rendering device 300, error notification, notification of power failure recovery, and the like.

  On the effect control board 12, a CPU 120 for effect control, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125 are mounted.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes the program stored in the ROM 121 to execute the effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the functions of the effect control board 12, and the effect to be executed) (Including the determination of At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 is used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

  The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of effects based on detection signals from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (signals output when detecting an operation by the player and appropriately indicating the contents of the operation). The control unit 123 may also be instructed.

  The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like, and executes rendering based on a rendering execution instruction from the rendering control CPU 120.

  The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to display the effect image by supplying the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the execution instruction of the effect from the effect control CPU 120. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for specifying a sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to perform sound output synchronized with the display of the effect image and to turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. And the lamp control board 14 is supplied with a lamp signal (a signal for specifying the lamp on / off mode). Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body of the rendering device 300 to the movable body of the rendering device 300 or a drive circuit for driving the movable body of the rendering device 300.

  The voice control board 13 has various circuits for driving the speakers 8L and 8R, drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound designated by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R. Let

  The lamp control board 14 has various circuits for driving the game effect lamp 9 and drives the game effect lamp 9 based on the lamp signal, and turns on / off the game effect lamp 9 in a mode specified by the lamp signal. Do. Thus, the display control unit 123 controls voice output and lighting / extinguishing of the lamp.

  In addition, audio output, control of lighting / extinguishing of lamp (supply of sound designation signal and lamp signal, etc.), control of movable body of rendering device 300 (supply of signal for operating movable body of rendering device 300, etc.) The control CPU 120 may execute this.

  The random number circuit 124 can count value data indicating various random number values (random numbers for effect) used to execute various effects so as to be updateable. The effect random number may be updated (updated by software) as the effect control CPU 120 executes a predetermined computer program.

  The I / O 125 mounted on the effect control board 12 transmits, for example, an input port for capturing the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11 or the like, and various signals (image signal, sound designation signal, lamp signal). And an output port of

  Substrates other than the main substrate 11, such as the effect control substrate 12, the voice control substrate 13, and the lamp control substrate 14, are also referred to as sub substrates. As in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a plurality of sub substrates may be provided for each function, or one sub substrate may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

(Progress of the game and progress of the production etc.)
A game medium (game ball) is fired toward the game area by the player's rotation operation to the ball hitting operation handle provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

(Progress of the game controlled by the main board 11)
When the game ball which has flowed down the game area passes the passage gate 41, a common drawing game (variable display of a normal symbol) is started. It should be noted that, when the standard drawing game can not be started (when the start condition is not satisfied), such as under open control described below when another common drawing game is already executed, the common drawing game is limited to four etc. Execution is suspended. The reserved regular game is executed when the start condition for starting the regular game (for example, no other regular game is being executed or the opening control is not performed). When the gaming ball passes through the passage gate 41 when the number of common drawing holding memory reaches the upper limit value, the number of common drawing holding memory does not increase, and the passing is invalidated.

  The variable display results stop-displayed in the common-play game include a per-common-pattern (for example, a common drawing such as "7") and a common-use lost symbol (for example, a common drawing such as "-"). . When the symbol is stopped and displayed (derived) per common drawing, it is when the variable display result is "per common drawing". In the case where the common drawing losing symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), the variable display result is "general drawing lost".

  In the case of "per common drawing", the open control (the second start winning opening is opened) in which the movable wing piece of the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the tilting position for a predetermined period is performed. The open control is not performed in the case of "general drawing loss".

  When the gaming ball having flowed down the gaming area enters the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the first special view game is started. In addition, when the gaming ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the second special figure game is started. It should be noted that when the special figure game can not be started (when the start condition is not satisfied), such as when another special figure game is already being executed, or is controlled to the big hit gaming state described later The execution of the special drawing game is suspended with the upper limit etc. The reserved special drawing game is executed when a start condition for starting the special drawing game is established (for example, no other special drawing game is not executed and the jackpot gaming state is not in progress).

  When the game ball enters the first start winning opening when the first special view reserve memory number has reached the upper limit value, the first special figure reserve memory number does not increase, and the approach is invalidated ( There may be a prize ball). When the game ball enters the second start winning opening when the second special drawing reserve memory number has reached the upper limit value, the second special figure reserve memory number does not increase, and the approach is invalidated ( There may be a prize ball).

  The entry (winning) of the gaming ball to the first starting winning opening that increases the number of first special view holding memories is also referred to as the first starting winning. The entry (winning) of the gaming ball to the second starting winning opening that increases the second special view holding memory number is also referred to as the second starting winning. These winnings are collectively referred to simply as starting winnings.

  There are a big hit design (for example, special figures such as "3" and "7") and a lost design (for example, special figures such as "-") in the variable display result stopped and displayed in the special figure game. . When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), it is when the variable display result is "big hit". When the lost symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), the variable display result is "lost".

  When the variable display result of the first special view game or the second special view game is "big hit" (specific display result), the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as an advantageous state advantageous to the player. When the variable display result is "losing", it is not controlled to the big hit gaming state.

  In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the open state. The open state is either the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) or the timing at which the number of gaming balls entering the special winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, nine), whichever is earlier. It will be continued. Such an open state is called a round game (also simply referred to as a "round"). In the jackpot gaming state, the round game is repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, “15 times”) is reached (in the period other than the round game, the big winning opening is closed).

  The "big hit" is set to a big hit type of "non-deterministic change" or "precise change". When the jackpot type is "non-deterministic change", the jackpot symbol of "3" is stopped and displayed. When the jackpot type is "probable", the jackpot symbol of "7" is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, "big hit" when the big hit type is "probable variation" may be referred to as "probably big hit", and "big hit" when the big hit type is "non-probable variation" may be referred to as "non-probable big hit". Moreover, the big hit gaming state based on the "probable big hit" may be referred to as the "probably big hit gaming state". Moreover, the big hit gaming state based on the "non-probable variation big hit" may be referred to as the "non-probability big hit gaming state".

  After the definite variation big hit gaming state ends, the probability that the variable display result will be a "big hit" (big hit probability) is controlled to a high probability state higher than the normal state. The definite change state continues until the next big hit gaming state is started.

  After the definite variation big hit gaming state or the non definite variation big hit gaming state ends, the average variable display time (variable display period) is controlled to a short time state that becomes shorter than the normal state. In the time saving state, one of the ending conditions of the special figure game being executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) and the start of the next big hit gaming state is established first. Continue until you do.

  In the time saving state, the game ball can enter the second start winning opening more easily than the non-time saving state in which the time saving state such as the normal state is short, normally variable winning ball device 6B is opened and closed And may be changed. For example, control to make the variation time of a normal symbol in a regular game (the period of variable display of a regular pattern, also referred to as a regular variation time), shorter than in the normal state, or variable display in each regular game It is sufficient to change the normally variable winning ball device 6B between the open state and the closed state in a favorable change mode by control or the like that improves the probability that the result is “per common” than in the normal state. Such control is referred to as high open control (also referred to as "time-saving control" or "high base control"). By being controlled to such a short time state, the time required for the next variable display result to be "big hit" is shortened, and the gaming state becomes more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

  Note that the normal state is a gaming state other than the advantageous state for the player such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state, a time saving state, or a probability change state, and the variable display result in the common drawing game is The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability of being hit and the probability that the variable display result in the special figure game is a "big hit" is the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (e.g. It is a state controlled in the same way as when the predetermined return processing is not executed after the closing.

  The short time state is also referred to as "high base" and the like, and the gaming state not in the short time state is also referred to as "low base" or "non-short time state". A definite change state is said to be "high certainty" or the like, and a gaming state not definite change state is also referred to as "low certainty", "non-deterministic change" or the like.

(Progress of the game controlled by the effect control board 12)
The "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in the image display device 5 correspond to the start of the first special view game or the second special view game The variable display (also a kind of effect) of decorative design is started. At the timing when the variable display result (also referred to as finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special view game and the second special view game, the finalized decorative symbol (variable display result) that is the display result (variable display result) of the decorative symbol The combination of the three decorative designs is also displayed on the stop display (derivative display).

  The variable display mode of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established) in a period from when the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol is started to when the variable symbol is displayed. Here, the reach mode refers to a decorative pattern ("reach variation not displayed yet when the decorative pattern stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later. The symbol “also referred to as a symbol” refers to a display mode in which the variation continues.

  Further, in this embodiment, the reach effect is performed in response to the reach mode being set during the variable display. As reach effects, normal reach, super reach A, and super reach B, which have different presentation modes, are prepared. In this embodiment, the jackpot expectation is high in the order of super reach B> super reach A> normal reach.

  The jackpot expectation is, for example, a ratio at which the variable display result of the special figure game is a "big hit", and here, it is also a ratio at which the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a "big hit".

  When the variable display result of the special view game is "big hit", a finalized decoration pattern to be a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 as the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern. (The display result of the variable display of the decorative design is "big hit"). As an example, "left", "middle", "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R on the predetermined effective line in the same decorative symbol (for example, when the probability variation big hit "7", non-probability variation big hit At the same time, "6" etc.) are aligned and stopped.

  When the variable display result is "loss", the fixed display pattern of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern without the variable display mode of the decorative pattern being the reach mode. There is. In addition, when the variable display result is "loss", after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, a predetermined reach combination which is not a big hit combination as a display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern ("reach lost combination combination The finalized decorative pattern may also be stopped and displayed.

  Based on the effect control command (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100, the effect control CPU 120 is capable of executing various effects related to the game, such as variation display control of a decorative symbol and a notice effect. .

  In addition, as notice effects performed by the CPU 120 for effect control during the variable display of the decoration pattern, for example, a big hit notice effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit, a reach notice that indicates whether or not to reach, a stop pattern A number of notices to be executed at the time of variable display start or reach establishment, such as a stop notice to give notice, and a notice of a latent notice to give notice of whether the gaming state is a probability fluctuation state (latency) or not. Including.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as various effects including the above-mentioned advance notice, it is possible to execute movable object effects by the movable bodies 302L and 302R of the effect device 300 and composite effects by the speakers 8L and 8R and the game effect lamp 9. . Note that these various effects are performed, for example, at predetermined timing during variable display or at timing when the player operates the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. In the present embodiment, an effect using the effect device 300 is performed at the time of execution of the super reach (details will be described later).

  The rotating shaft 311 is non-rotatably fitted in an axial hole 313 formed at the upper portion of the pedestal 331 and non-rotatably at a lower portion in the axial hole 321 of the guided member 320. That is, since the movable portion 330 and the guided member 320 are integrated via the rotation shaft 311, the guided member 320 constitutes a part of the movable portion 330.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the guided member 320 is formed of a disk-shaped member having a circular axial hole 321 as its center. At two places on the right side of the peripheral wall, abutment concave portions 322A, 322B capable of accommodating the abutment bosses 385A, 385B described later are formed at an interval of about 90 degrees, and at the left side of the peripheral wall Is formed. Further, the peripheral wall 322C on the rear side of the abutment concave portion 322A and the peripheral wall 322D on the front side of the abutment concave portion 322B extend outward beyond an arc centering on the shaft hole 321 (see the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 10B). The peripheral walls 322E and 322F linearly extending leftward from the ends of the peripheral walls 322C and 322D are substantially parallel to each other. That is, the rotation restricting portions 325A and 325B protruding outward from the arc centering on the shaft hole 321 are formed at the tip end portions of the peripheral walls 322C and 322E and the distal end portions of the peripheral walls 322D and 322F. The guide member 320 is formed in a non-circular shape.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, linear guide grooves 380 </ b> L and 380 </ b> R for moving and guiding the moving body 310 in the left and right direction are formed on the upper surface of the members constituting the lower side portion of the base frame body 301. Specifically, the guide grooves 380L and 380R are formed by the bottom wall 381, the front wall 382 and the rear wall 383 in the form of a groove that opens upward in a longitudinal sectional view, and the guided member 320 is provided movable in the left-right direction. It is done. The longitudinal dimension L1 of the guide grooves 380L and 380R is slightly longer than the diameter 2R of the guided member 320, and is shorter than the dimension L2 passing through the apexes and centers of the rotation restricting portions 325A and 325B in the guided member 320. (2R <L1 <L2).

  At the left and right ends of each of the guide grooves 380L and 380R, a locking piece 324A locked to the locking recess 323 of the guided member 320 when the movable bodies 302L and 302R are positioned at the first position; A locking piece 324B that is locked to the locking recess 323 of the guided member 320 when the body 302L, 302R is positioned at the second position, and the movable body 302L, 302R first position and Regulate rotation at the second position.

  Cylindrical abutment bosses 385A and 385B are erected substantially in the longitudinal center of the bottom wall 381 at predetermined positions in the lateral direction in the vicinity of the rear wall 383 in the lateral direction. In addition, portions corresponding to the contact bosses 385A and 385B in the rear wall 383 are bulged rearward, and can accommodate the rotation restricting portions 325A and 325B when the guided member 320 rotates as described later. Recesses 386A and 386B are formed inside. Further, a bearing portion 387 is formed between the left and right guide grooves 380L and 380R.

  The first drive mechanism 303 includes drive shafts 390L and 390R for moving the moving body 310, movement motors 391L and 391R for rotating the drive shafts 390L and 390R around their axes, and a movement motor 391L, A transmission gear group 392L, 392R consisting of a plurality of driven gears for transmitting the power of 391R to the drive shafts 390L, 390R is mainly configured.

  The drive shafts 390L and 390R extend in the left and right direction along the upper side of the front wall 382, one end thereof is pivotally supported by the central bearing portion 387, and the other end is axially connected to the left and right sides of the guide grooves 380L and 380R. It is supported. The movable body 310 is inserted into the drive shafts 390L and 390R via the lateral holes 314, and the concave groove 390A formed in a spiral shape on the peripheral surface of the drive shafts 390L and 390R has an inner periphery of the lateral holes 314. A locking portion 315 protruding on the surface is slidably locked. Therefore, in the movable body 310, the guided members 320 connected via the rotation shaft 311 are guided movably in the left and right direction by the guide grooves 380L and 380R, and the rotation around the drive shafts 390L and 390R is restricted. Therefore, the drive shafts 390L and 390R are configured to move in the left and right direction by rotating.

  Next, operation modes of the first drive mechanism 303 and the movable body 302L will be described based on FIG. 12 and FIG. In addition, since the movable bodies 302L and 302R are symmetrical in the right and left and the operation mode is substantially the same, only the operation mode of the movable body 302L will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, when the movable body 302L is at the first position, the guided member 320 is maintained in a state in which the locking piece 324A is locked in the locking recess 323 at the left end of the guide groove 380L. It is done. At this time, the front cover 333 of the movable portion 330 faces the front, and the pivoting portion 330B is located at the first projecting position.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, when the drive shaft 390L is rotated by the movement motor 391L, the movable body 310 moves to the right. At this time, in the guided member 320, the peripheral wall 322E approaches substantially parallel to the front wall 382, and the peripheral wall 322F approaches substantially parallel to the rear wall 383, so that rotation around the rotation shaft 311 is restricted. Therefore, the movable portion 330 moves to the right without changing the direction. And when it moves to the 3rd position between the 1st position and the 2nd position, peripheral wall 322C will abut on contact boss 385A.

  As shown in FIGS. 12C and 12D, the abutment boss 385A is disposed at a position shifted rearward from the movement locus of the rotation shaft 311 which is the center of the guided member 320. When the moving body 310 continues to move in the right direction and the peripheral wall 322C abuts on the abutting boss 385A at the third position, the movable body 310 moves to the right while maintaining the abutted state. The guide member 320 rotates counterclockwise around the abutment boss 385A. Further, as shown in the enlarged view in FIG. 12C, the tip of the rotation restricting portion 325A is accommodated in the accommodation recess 386A, whereby rotation of the guided member 320 in the guide groove 380L is permitted. Further, along with the rotation of the guided member 320, the abutment boss 385A is accommodated in the abutment recess 322A.

  As shown in FIG. 12E, when the guided member 320 rotates about 90 degrees after the circumferential wall 322C abuts on the abutment boss 385A, the circumferential wall 322C abuts on the abutment boss 385A. The peripheral wall 322D of the contact recess 322B contacts the contact boss 385B.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 13F to 13H, the moving body 310 continues to move in the right direction, whereby the state where the peripheral wall 322C abuts on the abutment boss 385A is released. By continuing the movement to the right while maintaining the circumferential wall 322D in contact with the abutting boss 385B, the guided member 320 rotates counterclockwise around the abutting boss 385B. Further, as shown in the enlarged view in FIG. 13H, the tip of the rotation restricting portion 325B is accommodated in the accommodating recess 386B, whereby the rotation of the guided member 320 is permitted. Further, along with the rotation of the guided member 320, the abutment boss 385B is accommodated in the abutment recess 322B.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13I, with the rotation of the guided member 320 by about 180 degrees, the movable part 330 integrated with the guided member 320 rotates by about 180 degrees around the rotation shaft 311. Orientation changes. Further, as shown in FIGS. 12B to 13I, the two abutment bosses 385A and 385B are disposed apart in the moving direction of the movable body 302L, and the peripheral wall 322C is in contact with the abutment boss 385A. The release of the contact state and the contact of the peripheral wall 322D with the contact boss 385B allow the rotation to be continued.

  As shown in FIG. 13J, after the contact state from the contact boss 385B of the peripheral wall 322D is released, the peripheral wall 322D moves to the right without changing the direction. At this time, in the guided member 320, the peripheral wall 322F approaches substantially parallel to the front wall 382, and the peripheral wall 322E approaches substantially parallel to the rear wall 383, so that rotation around the rotation shaft 311 is restricted. Therefore, the movable portion 330 moves to the right without changing the direction. When the movable body 302L reaches the second position, the guided member 320 is maintained in a state in which the locking piece 324B is locked in the locking recess 323 at the right end of the guide groove 380L. At this time, the rear cover 334 of the movable portion 330 faces the front, and the pivoting portion 330B is located at the storage position.

  Although details of the operation mode when the movable body 302L moves from the second position to the first position will be omitted, the direction is changed by rotating in the opposite direction to the direction when moving from the first position to the second position. It will be.

  Thus, the movable body 302L abuts on the abutting bosses 385A and 385B at the third position on the way from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position. By continuing to move to the right or left while maintaining the state, the guided member 320 rotates by about 180 degrees, and the direction (posture) of the movable part 330 changes from the forward (first attitude) to the backward (second attitude) It is supposed to change to).

  Next, the positional relationship between the movable bodies 302L and 302R and the image display device 5 and the game board 2 will be described based on FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14A, when the movable bodies 302L and 302R are in the first position, the pivoting portion 330B is in the first projecting position. Since the separation dimension L3 from the rotation shaft 311 to the display screen of the image display device 5 is shorter than the length dimension L4 from the rotation shaft 311 to the tip of the rotating portion 330B at the first projecting position (L3 < L4) When the movable portion 330 tries to rotate at the third position in the first state in which the pivoting portion 330B protrudes to the first projecting position, the pivoting portion 330B contacts the display screen of the image display device 5 It will

  When the movable bodies 302L and 302R are in the second position, the pivoting portion 330B is in the second projecting position. Since the separation dimension L3 from the rotation shaft 311 to the display screen of the image display device 5 is shorter than the length dimension L5 from the rotation shaft 311 to the tip of the rotating portion 330B at the second projecting position (L3 < L5) When the movable portion 330 tries to rotate at the third position with the first state in which the pivot portion 330B protrudes to the second projecting position, the pivot portion 330B contacts the display screen of the image display device 5 It will

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14C, before the movable bodies 302L and 302R rotate, that is, before reaching the third position, the rotary portion 330B is accommodated not at the first projecting position or the second projecting position. By moving to the position, that is, changing the movable portion 330 from the first state to the second state, the separation dimension L3 from the rotation shaft 311 to the display screen of the image display device 5 is at the storage position from the rotation shaft 311 Since the length is longer than the length L6 to the tip of the pivoting portion 330B (L3> L6), the pivoting portion 330B is prevented from contacting the display screen of the image display device 5 when it is rotated.

  Next, the second drive mechanism 304 will be described based on FIGS. 4, 5 and 15. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the second drive mechanism 304 is configured to move up and down the motor 305 fixed to the mounting member 308 attached to the back of the upper side of the base frame 301, and to drive gear 305A of the motor 305 for up and down. It has a driven gear 306 that meshes and a connecting long hole 307A, one end of which is pivotally supported by the mounting member 308 and a connecting shaft 306A protruding near the peripheral edge of the front surface of the driven gear 306 is inserted. And 351 has a lift arm 307 pivotally supported.

  The movable rails 351 are vertically inserted by inserting the guide rollers 352 provided on the left and right sides of the rear surface into the pair of left and right lifting guides 353 formed in the upper side of the base frame 301 and facing in the vertical direction. It is being guided. Further, a long hole 354 for inserting a connecting shaft of the tip of the lifting arm 307 and the movable rail 351 is formed between the lifting guides 353 and 353 in the vertical direction. In the second drive mechanism 304 configured in this way, the movable rail 351 moves in the up and down direction when the raising and lowering arm 307 pivots around one end by the raising and lowering motor 305.

  Next, an example of the movable body effect by the movable bodies 302L and 302R of the effect device 300 will be described based on FIG.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, at a predetermined timing after variable display of a decorative symbol based on a super reach change pattern is started and reach is established and developed to a super reach, as shown in FIG. The image Z1 of the stick controller 31A (or the push button 31B) is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 during the effective period in which the operation of the controller 31A (or the push button 31B) is effective, Run.

  And as shown to FIG. 16 (B), when a super reach change pattern is a change pattern of a big hit, CPU120 for production control is a case where operation of stick controller 31A is detected within operation effective period, or operation is detected. By moving the movable body 310 by the lifting motor 305 at the timing when the operation effective period has elapsed without being moved, the left and right movable bodies 302L and 302R simultaneously start moving from the first position to the second position, The rotation portion 330B is moved from the first projecting position to the storage position by the rotation motor 367, and the movable portion 330 changes from the first state to the second state.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16C, the peripheral walls 322E and 322F of the guided member 320 abut against the abutment bosses 385A and 385B, and the movable body 310 moves while maintaining the abutted state. The movable portion 330 rotates about 180 degrees around a rotating shaft 311 that faces in the vertical direction.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 16D, the left and right movable parts 330 inverted by about 180 degrees abut and unite, and the turning part 330B is turned and stopped at the second projecting position. Then, as shown in FIG. 16E, the effect control CPU 120 raises the movable rail 351 with the raising and lowering motor 305 to raise the movable portion 330 relative to the pedestal 331 and display the image display device 5. After the effect image Z2 is displayed around the movable portion 330 on the screen, the movable bodies 302L and 302R are returned from the second position to the first position, as shown in FIG. 16F, and the display screen of the image display device 5 Displays an image of "big hit !!"

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16A, when the movable bodies 302L and 302R are in the first position where they are separated left and right, the front cover 333 of the movable body 302L on the left and the frame cover 370L A first left effect part imitating a part is formed, and a first right effect part imitating a left half of an airplane is formed by the front cover 333 of the movable body 302R on the right and the frame cover 370R. .

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16D and FIG. 16E, when in the second position where they abut or approach each other, the rear cover 334 of the left movable body 302L and the rear cover 334 of the right movable body 302R are left and right. The second effect part imitating the whole of the airplane is formed by juxtaposing and combining them.

  Thus, in the first position, the front face of the movable bodies 302L and 302R and the frame covers 370L and 370R constitute a first left rendering part and a first right rendering part, and in the second position, the movable body 302L, A second rendering unit different from the first rendering unit is configured by the back surface of 302R. More specifically, the first left rendering part and the first right rendering part are effects capable of identifying about 2/3 of the aircraft body, while the second effect part is an effect capable of identifying the entire aircraft body. is there.

  In other words, since one second rendering unit is configured by moving and combining parts of the first left rendering unit and the first right rendering unit separately located at the left and right positions at the first position, the player can It can give surprises. Moreover, more unexpectedness can be given by the size of the plane which is the second effect part being larger than the size of the plane which is the first left effect part and the first right effect part.

  In addition, for example, when the operation promotion effect shown in FIG. 16A is executed, the movable bodies 302L and 302R are moved by lighting the movable LED 338F and causing the translucent lens portions 340F, 371L and 371R to emit light. When the left and right movable bodies 302L and 302R are combined as shown in FIG. 16E, the movable LED 338B is turned on to cause the translucent lens portion 340B to emit light. You may make it perform the fixed production | presentation which alert | reports. Furthermore, as notice effects that suggest that super reach effects as shown in FIGS. 16A to 16F may be performed, for example, the left and right movable bodies 302L and 302R are set to the first position and the first position. It is also possible to perform movable object effects such as reciprocating between a position before the three positions.

  Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 16A, when the movable bodies 302L and 302R are positioned at the first position, the movable LED 338F is turned on to cause the translucent lens portions 340F, 371L and 371R to emit light. While the sense of unity between the movable bodies 302L and 302R and the frame covers 370L and 370R can be improved, the movable bodies 302L and 302R move from the first position to the second position to move the frame covers 370L and 370R. By turning off the movable LED 338F when it is separated from the frame, it can be made inconspicuous that the movable bodies 302L, 302R and the frame covers 370L, 370R are separated.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the movable movable bodies 302L and 302R and the abutting boss 385A provided to be able to abut on the movable bodies 302L and 302R. , 385B, and when the movable body 302L abuts on the abutting bosses 385A, 385B at a third position on the way from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position, By moving the guided member 320 about 180 degrees by moving to the right or left while maintaining the contact state, the direction (posture) changes from forward (first attitude) to backward (second attitude) It is supposed to change.

  By doing this, the movable bodies 302L and 302R not only move but also change in direction while moving, so it is possible to improve interest. Specifically, when moving the movable bodies 302L and 302R in the left and right direction, the movable bodies 302L and 302R are oriented by rotating around an axis facing in the vertical direction crossing the moving direction while continuing the movement without stopping the movement. Since the (posture) changes, the interest can be improved.

  Further, the movable bodies 302L and 302R are a movable body 310 moved by the movement motors 391L and 391R as one drive source, and a guided member 320 of the movable portion 330 rotatably provided with respect to the movable body 310; When the guided member 320 abuts on the abutment bosses 385A and 385B at a third position in the middle of moving the movable body 302L from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position. By rotating about 180 degrees by moving to the right or left while maintaining the contact state, the direction (posture) of the movable part 330 is changed from forward to backward.

  In this way, one drive source can realize both movement and change of direction. Specifically, not only the movable bodies 302L and 302R are moved in the left-right direction by the driving force of the moving motors 391L and 391R, but also the movable portion 330 can be rotated using the force by which the movable body 310 moves.

  Further, in a state where the guided member 320 of the movable portion 330 is in contact with the abutting bosses 385A and 385B, the movable member 310 is movably and rotatably guided along with the movable body 310 and is moved to the abutting bosses 385A and 385B. In the non-contacting state, the guide grooves 380L and 380R are provided as guide portions that can move together with the moving body 310 and guide the guided member 320 non-rotatably, and the contact bosses 385A and 385B are guide grooves 380L, It will be installed on the 380R.

  By doing this, the movable portion 330 moves in the moving direction of the movable body 310 in a state in which the rotation of the non-circular guided member 320 is restricted by the guide grooves 380L and 380R except the third position where the direction is not changed. Because it is guided, the movable portion 330 is stably supported. The guide grooves 380L and 380R, the contact bosses 385A and 385B and the guided member 320 are provided at positions which are difficult for the player to visually recognize, as shown in FIG. Absent.

  Particularly in the present embodiment, at the first position, the left and right movable bodies 302L and 302R unite with the frame covers 370L and 370R of the base frame 301, and the third position on the way to move from the first position to the second position. Since the movable members 302L and 302R are combined at the second position after the direction of the movable portion 330 is changed (reversed back and forth) at time t1, the movement from the first position to the third position, or After the direction is changed at the three positions, the direction is changed due to vibration or the like while moving to the second position, so that it is possible to preferably suppress the influence on the combination at the first position and the second position.

  Further, the movable bodies 302L and 302R have abutment concave portions 322A and 322B capable of accommodating the abutment bosses 385A and 385B when the abutment bosses 385A and 385B abut.

  By doing this, when the abutment bosses 385A, 385B abut, the abutment bosses 385A, 385B are hardly released from the abutted state by being accommodated in the abutment recesses 322A, 322B. Therefore, the direction can be suitably changed. Furthermore, since the guided member 320 can be moved linearly without bypassing the abutting bosses 385A and 385B, the structure can be prevented from being complicated.

  Also, the movable body includes a first movable body (for example, movable body 302L) and a second movable body (for example, movable body 302R), and the contact portion is a first contact portion corresponding to the first movable body (For example, abutment bosses 385A, 385B for the guide groove 380L) and a second abutment portion (for example, abutment bosses 385A, 385B for the guide groove 380R) corresponding to the second movable body.

  By doing this, a complex motion can be shown by changing the orientation of each of the left and right movable bodies 302L and 302R.

  Further, the movable bodies 302L and 302R have a pivoting portion 330B as a movable portion which is operable with respect to the movable base portion 330A, and the first state (e.g., rotation) in which the pivoting portion 330B protrudes relative to the movable base portion 330A. The second state in which the movable portion 330B is retracted to the movable base portion side from the first state (for example, the second state in which the rotation portion 330B is in the storage position) State, and changes from the first state to the second state before the abutment bosses 385A and 385B abut, that is, before the third position is reached.

  By doing this, it is possible to avoid that the pivoting unit 330B interferes with another structure (for example, the image display device 5, the game board 2, etc.) when changing the direction.

  The movable bodies 302L and 302R are provided with guide grooves 380L and 380R extending in the moving direction and provided with abutment bosses 385A and 385B. The movable bodies 302L and 302R are along the abutment bosses 385A and 385B. The guide bosses 385A and 385B are guided at positions corresponding to the contact bosses 385A and 385B in the guide grooves 380L and 380R. Housing recesses 386A and 386B are provided as an allowance portion for permitting rotation of the guided member 320 only when the member 320 is in contact.

  By doing this, the movable bodies 302L and 302R can be rotated only in a state in which the movable bodies 302L and 302R are in contact with the abutment bosses 385A and 385B. Therefore, the movable bodies 302L and 302R are stabilized in the non-contacting state. Can be moved.

  In addition, the movable body is movable between a first position separated from each other and a second position closer to or in contact with each other than the first position, and a second position between the first position and the second position is movable. The first movable body and the second movable body include the first movable body (for example, the movable body 302L) and the second movable body (for example, the movable body 302R) whose directions can be reversed at three positions. The first effect portion (see FIG. 16A) is configured by coming into contact with or in proximity to a structure (for example, frame covers 370L and 370R) provided on the opposite side of the second position in position. By contacting or approaching the other movable body at the second position, the second effect part (see FIGS. 16D and 16E) is formed.

  By doing this, the first effect section is configured at the first position, but the player is reversed since the second effect section appears while moving from the first position to the second position. It can give surprises. Specifically, when the two movable bodies 302L and 302R are located at the first position apart from each other, the first effect section is configured with the structures adjacent to each other, but the directions are respectively different at the third position When changing and moving to the second position, two airplanes separately located on the left and right are united into one by configuring the second rendering unit different from the first rendering unit by combining them. Because the player can look like a player, the player can be given unexpectedness. Further, the rendering effect can be enhanced not only when the movable bodies 302L and 302R are at the second position but also when the movable bodies 302L and 302R are at the first position, which is the origin position.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the decoration applied to the front of the front cover 333 and the decoration applied to the back of the rear cover 334 are different decorations, the first effect part and the second effect part are The appearance appearance is a fuselage of the same airplane, but the decoration aspect becomes a different presentation part, so that more unexpectedness can be given. The decoration provided on the front of the front cover 333 and the decoration provided on the back of the rear cover 334 may be the same decoration.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention may be modified or added without departing from the scope of the present invention. include.
