JP 2003-340046 A

  There is a demand to change the probability of winning for such a game. However, there has been insufficient response to change the probability of such a hit.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of suitably changing the probability.

  In order to achieve this object, the gaming machine according to claim 1 is provided for each of the winning openings, a gaming area provided with a plurality of winning openings, a launching means for firing gaming media to the gaming area, and When the winning detection means detects that the winning detection means for detecting the winning of the gaming medium to the corresponding winning opening and the gaming medium fired by the firing means has won any of the winning openings And a payout means for paying out a predetermined number of gaming media to a winning opening on which the gaming media have won, and the predetermined determination is performed when the start condition is met, and the determination is a predetermined result Change processing execution means for giving a predetermined gaming value to the player in the case where the predetermined judgment is made, and changing the probability that the predetermined result will be obtained among the plurality of levels And the power And a start-up unit that executes processing by the change processing execution unit on condition that a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the start-up unit is configured to execute the processing when the power is turned off last time. When the process by the change process execution means is being executed, even when the second predetermined condition different from the predetermined condition is satisfied when the power is turned on, the change process execution means Performing the processing, wherein the predetermined condition includes that the first operation means is brought into the first state, and the second predetermined condition is that the first operation means is different from the first state The change processing execution means includes detection means for detecting that the first operation means has been changed from the first state to the second state, including being brought into two states, and the detection means From the first state of the first operating means If the change in serial to the second state is detected, it is to confirm the changed probability level.

  The gaming machine according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the first operation means is a key.

  According to the gaming machine of the first aspect, the game medium is fired by the launching means to the gaming area provided with the plurality of winning openings. Each winning opening is provided with a winning detection means for detecting a winning of a game medium. Then, when it is detected by the prize detecting means that the game medium fired by the launching means has won a prize in any one winning opening, a predetermined number of gaming media for the prize opening for which the gaming medium has won is selected. Is paid out by the payout means. Further, this gaming machine performs a predetermined determination triggered by the establishment of the start condition, and when the determination is a predetermined result, the predetermined value is given to the player, and the predetermined determination is made. In the processing executed by the change processing execution means, the probability that the predetermined result is obtained is changed among the plurality of levels. The processing by the change processing execution means is executed by the start-up means on condition that a predetermined condition is satisfied when the power is turned on. In addition, when the processing by the change processing execution means is being executed when the power is turned off last time, the second predetermined condition different from the predetermined condition is satisfied when the power is turned on. Even in this case, the process by the change process execution means is executed by the start-up means. As a result, when the processing by the change processing execution means is being executed when the power is turned off last time, the probability level is obtained even when the second predetermined condition is satisfied at the time of power on after that. Since it is possible to change the probability level with confidence. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of suitably changing the probability. The predetermined condition includes that the first operating means is in the first state, and the second predetermined condition includes that the first operating means is in the second state different from the first state. It is. The change processing execution means includes detection means for detecting that the first operation means has been changed from the first state to the second state, and the detection means causes the first state of the first operation means to be changed. Once a change from is detected to a second state, a modified probability level is established. Here, even if the change processing execution means is executed when the second predetermined condition is satisfied, the change processing execution means determines that the first operation means is in the second state, and the probability of being changed Instead of determining the level, the detection means determines the changed probability level triggered by the detection of the change from the first state to the second state of the first operation means. Therefore, even if the change processing execution means is executed when the second predetermined condition is satisfied, there is an effect that the probability level can be surely changed.

  According to the gaming machine of the second aspect, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine of the first aspect, since the first operation means is a key, it is necessary to shift the key from the first state to the second state, There is an effect that the probability level can be easily determined.

In addition, a resin-made arc member 70 formed by providing an arc connecting the rails on the inner surface between the lower right end of the inner rail 61 and the upper right end of the outer rail 62 is a base. It is driven in and fixed to the plate 60.

  A first symbol provided with a plurality of light emitting diodes (hereinafter abbreviated as "LED") 37a and a 7-segment display 37b, which are light emitting means, at the upper right side upper part (right upper part of FIG. 2) of the game area. A display device 37 is provided. The first symbol display device 37 performs display according to each control performed by the main control device 110 described later, and mainly displays the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10.

  The plurality of LEDs 37a indicate the variation display performed in response to the ball entering the start opening of any of the first start opening 64a and the second start opening 64b (start winning combination) by the lighting state of the LED 37a, or the change display As a stop symbol after the end, the symbol according to the result of the lottery which is performed for the starting winning combination is shown in the lighting state, or fluctuation among balls entered in the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b The number of holding balls, which is the number of unexecuted balls (holding balls), is indicated by the lighting state. The 7-segment display 37b displays the number of rounds in the jackpot and an error display. The LEDs 37a are configured such that the light emission colors (for example, red, green, and blue) of the respective LEDs are different, and the combination of the light emission colors can indicate various gaming states of the pachinko machine 10 with a small number of LEDs.

  In addition, in this pachinko machine 10, while performing the propriety determination (big hit lottery) whether or not it is a big hit for entering the ball to the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b, and if it is determined as a big hit, the big hit type It also determines the As jackpot types determined here, 15R probability variation jackpots, 2R probability variation jackpots, and 15R regular jackpots are prepared.

  The LED 37a not only indicates whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot as a stop symbol after the end of the fluctuation that is executed with the ball entering the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b. If the jackpot is a symbol according to the jackpot type is shown.

  Here, “15R probability variation jackpot” is a probability variation jackpot where the maximum number of rounds shifts to a high probability state after 15 round jackpots, and “2R probability variation jackpot” is a maximum number of rounds jackpot of 2 rounds It is a probability change jackpot to shift to a high probability state after. Also, “15R normal jackpot” is a jackpot in which the maximum number of rounds transitions to a low probability state after 15 rounds of jackpots and for a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuation times) becomes a short time state .

  Also, "high probability state" refers to a state in which the subsequent jackpot probability is increased as added value after the end of the jackpot, so-called probability fluctuation (during a definite change, a definite change), in other words, a special gaming state (large hit) It is the state of the game which is easy to shift to). The high probability state (during a definite change, a positive change state) in the present embodiment includes a game state in which the ball is likely to enter the second starting opening 64b by increasing the probability of hitting a second symbol to be described later.

  On the other hand, the "low probability state" refers to a time when the probability is not in a definite state, and means a state in which the jackpot probability is normal, that is, a state in which the jackpot probability is lower than that in the probability state. Moreover, while the big hit probability is a normal state with the time saving state (time low) of the "low probability state", only the hit probability of the second symbol is increased with the big hit probability as it is, and the second starting opening 64b It means the state of the game where the ball is easy to enter.

  In addition, according to the game state of the pachinko machine 10, instead of changing the probability of hitting the second symbol, the time when the electric combination later mentioned attached to the second starting opening 64b is opened, and once by the second symbol It is also possible to change the number of times the motorized jack is released at the hit point. Specifically, in the short time state, the time for which the motorized accessory attached to the second starting port 64b is opened is made longer than in the case other than the time shorter state, or the number of times the motorized prize is released per hit. The time may be increased more than in the short-time state. Also, in the time saving state, at least two of increasing the probability of hitting the second symbol, increasing the opening time of the motorized part, and increasing the number of opening times of the motored part at the same time Good.

  A first normal winning opening 63a is disposed on the lower left side of the game area, and a second normal winning opening 63b is disposed on the lower right side of the game area. When the ball enters the first ordinary winning opening 63a, the first ordinary winning opening switch 208c (see FIG. 6) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the first ordinary winning opening switch 208c is turned on. Eight balls are paid out as prize balls. Also, when the ball enters the second ordinary winning opening 63b, the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d (see FIG. 6) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d is turned on. As a result, eight balls are paid out as winning balls. In addition, the number of winning balls when the ball is won in the first normal winning opening 63a and the number of winning balls when the ball is winning in the second normal winning opening 63b is not necessarily the same. The number of winning balls may be different from that of the ball, the latter being eight balls or the like.

  A variable display unit 80 is disposed in the central portion of the game area. The variable display device unit 80 is provided with a third symbol display device 81 and a second symbol display device 83.

If the combination of jackpot symbols (the combination of the same main symbol) is aligned on the effective line L1 when the third symbol is stopped, a jackpot animation is displayed as a jackpot.

  The sub display area Ds is provided laterally longer than the main display area Dm, and is further equally divided into three small areas Ds1 to Ds3 in the left-right direction. The small areas Ds1 to Ds3 are areas for displaying the character and the notice effect image, respectively. The images displayed in each of the small areas Ds1 to Ds3 give the player a sense of expectation of becoming a big hit as a result of the variable display performed in the main display area Dm. The number of holding balls display area Db is the number of holding balls which is the number of balls (holding balls) for which fluctuation display (variation effect) has not been executed among the balls entered into the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b. Is an area for displaying

  On the actual display screen, as shown in FIG. 4B, a total of nine main symbols of the third symbol are displayed in the main display area Dm. In the sub display area Ds, a moving image is displayed in the left small area Ds1 and the right small area Ds3, and it is suggested to the player that the state is more likely to transition to a jackpot than usual. In the central small area Ds2, usually, a predetermined character (a boy with a hachimaki in this embodiment) performs a predetermined action, sometimes performs a special action other than the predetermined action, or a black boy The notice effect is performed when the color of the hair of the hair or the color of the normally white bee maki changes or another character appears.

  On the other hand, when the ball enters the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b while the fluctuation effect (variation display) is being performed by the third symbol display device 81 (the first symbol display device 37), The number of hits is suspended up to 4 times. The number of holding balls is indicated by the first symbol display device 37 and also in the number-of-holding ball display area Db. In the holding ball number display area Db, one holding ball number symbol (“●” symbol) is displayed per one holding ball number, and the number of holding balls is displayed according to the displayed number of the holding ball number symbol .

  That is, when one holding ball number symbol is displayed in the holding ball number display area Db, it indicates that the holding ball number is one ball, and when four holding ball number symbols are displayed, the holding ball number is displayed. Indicates that the number of balls is four. In addition, when the number-of-held-balls design is not displayed in the number-of-held-balls display area Db, it indicates that the number of held balls is 0, that is, there is no held ball.

  In the present embodiment, ball entry into the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b is configured to be held up to a total of four times, but the maximum number of holding balls is four times in total The number of times is not limited, and may be set to three times or less, or five times or more (for example, eight times). In addition, instead of displaying the number-of-hold-balls symbol in the number-of-hold-balls display area Db, the number of held balls is a part of the third symbol display device 81 by a number or the area divided into four It may be displayed in a mode (for example, a color or a lighting pattern) different only in the aspect. Further, since the number of balls held is indicated by the first symbol display device 37, the number of balls held may not be displayed on the third symbol display device 81. Furthermore, the variable display unit 80 may be provided with four holding lamps indicating the number of holding balls, which corresponds to the maximum number of holdings, and the number of holding balls may be displayed according to the number of holding lamps in the lighting state.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the explanation will be continued. The second symbol display device 83 is a variable display that alternately lights a symbol of "o" and a symbol of "x" as a display symbol (second symbol) every time the ball passes through the through gate 67. is there. In the pachinko machine 10, when the variable display in the second symbol display device 83 is stopped at a predetermined symbol (in the present embodiment, the symbol of "o"), the motorized combination provided in the second starting opening 64b has a predetermined time It is configured to be activated (opened) only.

  The number of times the ball passes through gate 67 is suspended up to four times, and the number of balls retained is displayed by the above-described first symbol display device 37 and is also lit and displayed at the second symbol retention lamp 84. Four second symbol holding lamps 84 are provided for the maximum number of holdings, and are arranged symmetrically below the third symbol display device 81. Then, the number of holdings is displayed by the number of lit second symbol holding lamps 84.

  In addition, as the variable display of the second symbol is performed by switching on and off the plurality of lamps in the second symbol display device 83 as in the present embodiment, the first symbol display device 37 or the third symbol It may be performed using a part of the display device 81. Similarly, instead of the lighting of the second symbol holding lamp 84, the variable display of the second symbol may be performed by a part of the third symbol display device 81. Moreover, the passage of the through gate 67 is not limited to four times the maximum number of holding balls, similarly to the second starting opening 64b, and is three times or less, or five times or more (for example, eight times) It may be set to Further, since the number of balls held is indicated by the first symbol display device 37, the second symbol holding lamp 84 may be configured not to perform lighting display.

  A first start port 64a is disposed below the variable display unit 80, and a second start port 64b is disposed below the first start port 64a. The first starting opening 64a is provided with an opening through which a ball can enter upward. The opening of the first starting opening 64a is always open, and the ball can enter the ball. When the ball enters the first starting opening 64a, the first starting opening switch 208a (see FIG. 6) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control is performed due to the turning on of the first starting opening switch 208a. A lottery for a big hit is made with the device 110 (see FIG. 5), and a display according to the lottery result is shown by the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37, and the third symbol display device 81 produces a variation of the third symbol. To be executed. The first starting opening 64a is also one of the winning openings where three balls are paid out as winning balls when the balls enter.

  On the other hand, the second starting port 64b is provided with a motorized part having two blades covering the opening where the ball enters the second starting port 64b. The motorized part opens and closes the second start port 64b by opening and closing the two blades. In a normal state, the second start port 64b is in a closed state in which the blade of the motorized product is closed (the blade is raised upward), and the ball can not enter the second start port 64b, or enters the ball It is in a difficult state.

  Then, when the variable display in the second symbol display device 83 is stopped with the symbol of "o", the electrically driven combination of the second start opening 64b is operated for a predetermined time. From the state where the blade of the motorized part stands up while the motorized part is operated. The movable state is substantially V-shaped (inverted C-shaped), and the second start port 64b is opened. When the second start port 64b is in the open state, the ball can enter the second start port 64b or the ball can enter the ball more easily than in the closed state. That is, as a result of the variable display in the second symbol display device 83, the ball stops with a symbol of "o" and becomes a hit, and the ball enters the second starting opening 64b when the second starting opening 64b is opened. It can be made the state which can do many jackpot lotterys.

In the pachinko machine 10, when the lottery with the main control device 110 is a big hit, the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37 is turned on so as to be a big hit stop symbol after a predetermined time (variation time) has passed. A stop symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the third symbol display device 81, and the occurrence of the jackpot is indicated. Thereafter, the gaming state transitions to a special gaming state (big hit) in which the ball is easy to win. In this special game state, the special winning opening 65a which is normally closed is opened for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds have elapsed or 10 balls have been won).

  The special winning opening 65a is closed after a predetermined time, and after the closing, the special winning opening 65a is opened again for a predetermined time. The opening and closing operation of the special winning opening 65a can be repeated, for example, 15 times (15 rounds) at the maximum.

  Specifically, the variable winning device 65 is a horizontally long rectangular opening and closing plate covering the large winning opening 65a, and a large winning opening solenoid (not shown) for driving to open and close forward about the lower side of the opening and closing plate. And have. The special winning opening 65a is normally in a closed state in which the ball can not win or is difficult to win. In the case of a big hit, the big winning opening solenoid is driven to tilt the opening / closing plate to the front lower side, and a ball is temporarily formed in the big winning opening 65a to form an open state that is easy to win. Operates to repeat the state and the state alternately.

  When the ball enters the big winning opening 65a, the big winning opening switch 208e (see FIG. 6) provided on the back side of the gaming board 13 is turned on, and the number of times the big winning opening switch 208e is turned on is counted. The number of balls winning in the special winning opening 65a is counted, and the closing condition of the special winning opening 65a is determined. In addition, 12 balls are paid out as winning balls due to the turning on of the special winning opening switch 208e. Then, by the opening and closing states of the big winning opening 65a being repeated by the big hit, it becomes easy to win many balls in the big winning opening 65a, and it is possible for the player to have a gaming value (game value). As the award, a larger amount of prize balls will be paid out than usual. This state is a form of special gaming state advantageous to the player.

  In addition, the special gaming state is not limited to the above-mentioned form. A special winning opening and a large opening which is opened and closed separately from the special winning opening are provided in the game area, and when the LED 37a corresponding to the big hit is lit in the first symbol display device 37, the special winning opening is opened for a predetermined time The game state in which the large opening is opened for a predetermined time for a predetermined period of time may be formed as a special gaming state in response to the ball winning into the specific winning opening during the opening of the specific winning opening.

  Through gates 67 are provided on the left and right of the variable display unit 80, respectively.

The inspection apparatus 300 can determine whether the accessory ratio of the pachinko machine 10 is in the normal range based on the information on the accessory ratio received through the inspection terminal 207a.

  Here, the detailed configuration of main controller 110 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of main controller 110. Referring to FIG.

  As described above, the RAM erase switch circuit 253 is connected to the input / output port 205 as the input side, and the solenoid 209, the first symbol display device 37, the second symbol display device 38, the second symbol hold lamp 84, as the output side. As well as being connected to the payout control device 111 and the voice lamp control device 113, as various switches 208 connected as an input side, a first starting opening switch 208a for detecting a ball winning in the first starting opening 64a, a second A second starting opening switch 208b for detecting a ball winning in the starting opening 64b, a first ordinary winning opening switch 208c for detecting a ball winning in the first ordinary winning opening 63a, and a winning in a second ordinary winning opening 63b The second normal winning opening switch 208d for detecting the ball that has been shot, the large winning opening switch 208e for detecting the ball winning in the large winning opening 65a An out switch 208f for detecting a ball that has won a prize in each winning hole 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, 65a and a ball that has entered the outport 66 and is guided to a ball discharge path, an inner frame 12 and A door open switch 208g is connected to detect that at least one of the front frames 14 is locked and released.

  The input / output port 205 includes a start port 205a to which the output of the first start port switch 208a is input, a start 2 port 205b to which the output of the second start port switch 208b is input, and a first ordinary winning port switch 208c. One port 205c to which the output is input, two port 205d to which the output of the second ordinary winning port switch 208d is input, a special winning port port 205e to which the output of the special winning port switch 208e is input, and an out switch An out port 205f to which the output of 208f is connected and a door open port 205g to which the output of the door open switch 208g is connected are provided.

  The MPU 201 executes switch reading processing (see FIG. 11) for confirming the states of various switches in the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 10) executed every two milliseconds. In the switch reading process, the MPU 201 refers to the first port 205a, the second port 205b, the first port 205c, the second port 205d, the large winning port 205e, and the out port 205f, and the winning port is a winning prize. To determine the presence or absence of a ball guided to the ball discharge path, the number of balls won in each winning opening in 0.5 seconds, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, Count the number of balls fired to the game area). Then, the number of each ball counted and the gaming state at that time (whether the jackpot is in progress, the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 (so-called door) is open, an error state, etc.) It is set to the feature ratio management chip 207 every 0.5 seconds. The prize ratio management chip 207 calculates and manages the prize ratio based on the number of balls. Note that whether or not the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is open is determined by the MPU 201 referring to the door open port 205g and confirming the output of the door open switch 208g.

  The ROM 202 of the MPU 201 stores at least a big hit random number table 202a, a big hit type table 202b, a stop pattern table 202c, a variation pattern table 202d, a prize ball number table 202e, and trigger information data 202f. The main control unit 110 executes the main processing of the pachinko machine 10 by the various counters stored in the RAM 203 and the various tables 202 a to 202 d stored in the ROM 202. The prize ball number table 202e and the trigger information data 202f are data used to manage the symbol ratio in the symbol ratio management chip 207, and the symbol ratio when the main control device 110 is powered on. It is sent to the management chip 207.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 7, a counter and the like provided in the RAM 203 of the main control device 110 will be described. These counters and the like are mainly used to perform a jackpot lottery, setting of fluctuation display (variation effect) of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81, a lottery of display results of the second symbol display device 83, etc. Used by the MPU 201 of the control device 110. In the description of the various counters, various tables 202a to 202d stored in the ROM 202 of the main control device 110 will also be described with reference to FIG.

  In the setting of the variation display (variation production) of the jackpot lottery and the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81, the first hit random number counter C1 used for the lottery of the jackpot, and the first used for selection of the jackpot symbol A type counter C2 per one, a stop pattern selection counter C3, a fluctuation type counter CS1 used for selecting a fluctuation pattern, and a first initial value random number counter CINI1 used for setting an initial value of the first random number counter C1 are used. .

  The second random number counter C4 is used for lottery of the second symbol display device 83, and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 is used for setting the initial value of the second random number counter C4. Each of these counters is a loop counter in which 1 is added to the previous value each time updating is performed, and the value returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value.

  Each counter is updated, for example, at intervals of 2 milliseconds, which is an execution interval of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 10), and some counters are periodically updated in the main processing (see FIG. 17) The updated value is appropriately stored in the counter buffer set in the predetermined area of the RAM 203. Although details will be described later, the RAM 203 is provided with a storage ball storage area 203b consisting of four storage areas (storage first to fourth areas), and each of these areas has a first starting opening 64a and The respective values of the first random number counter C1, the first collision type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the fluctuation type counter CS1 are stored according to the timing of entering the second starting opening 64b.

  Each counter will be described in detail. The first random number counter C1 is sequentially incremented by 1 within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 899), and then reached 0 after reaching the maximum value (for example, 899 in the case of a counter capable of taking values of 0 to 899). It is configured to return to. Also, when the first random number counter C1 is updated by one round, the value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 at that time is read as the initial value of the first random number counter C1, and the first value is updated from the initial value. The random number counter C1 is updated.

  The first initial value random number counter CINI1 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the first random number counter C1. That is, for example, when the first random number counter C1 is a loop counter that can take values of 0 to 899, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is also a loop counter in the range of 0 to 899. The first initial value random number counter CINI1 is updated once each time the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10) is executed, and repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main process (see FIG. 17).

  The value of the first random number counter C1 is, for example, periodically (in the present embodiment, updated once in each timer interrupt processing), the ball wins in either of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b ( At the timing when the start winning combination), the value of the first random number counter C1 at that time is the first random number counter storage area of the first holding area of the first to fourth holding areas provided in the holding ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203 It is stored in 203b1. The value of the jackpot random number is set by the jackpot random number table 202a stored in the ROM 202 of the main control device, and the value of the first punch random number counter C1 stored in the holding area is set by the jackpot random number table 202a If it matches the value of the random number that will be the jackpot, it is determined that the jackpot.

  Here, the details of the jackpot random number table 202a will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8A is a schematic view schematically showing an example of the jackpot random number table 202a. In the jackpot random number table 202a, the gaming state for the low probability state used when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 is in the low probability state (period in which the probability change is not in progress) and the gaming state for the pachinko machine 10 is more successful than the low probability state It can be divided into two types, one for high probability states used in the case of high probability states (during definite variation). And the number of the random numbers used as the big hit included in each of the low probability state and the high probability state is set differently. As described above, the probability of becoming a jackpot is changed between the low probability state and the high probability state by changing the number of random numbers to be a jackpot.

  The first random number counter C1 in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured as a 2-byte loop counter in the range of 0 to 899. In the first random number counter C1, the number of random number values (big hit random number values) that will be big hits in the low probability state is 3, and the values “7, 307, 582” are stored in the big hit random number table 202a. ing.

  On the other hand, the number of random number values (big hit random number values) that will be a big hit in the high probability state is 30, its value “28, 58, 85, 122, 144, 178, 213, 238, 276, 298, 322 , 354, 390, 420, 448, 486, 506, 534, 567, 596, 618, 681, 716, 750, 772, 809, 836, 866, 892 "are stored in the jackpot random number table 202a .

  In the present embodiment, the jackpot random number values are set so that the jackpot random number value for the low probability state stored in the jackpot random number table 202a and the jackpot random number value for the high probability state do not overlap. It is set. Here, regardless of the state of the pachinko machine 10, if there is a value that is a jackpot random value, the value is easily predicted from the outside, and there is a possibility that the possibility of jackpot being fraudulently increased. On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, depending on the situation (that is, depending on whether the pachinko machine 10 is in the high probability state or the low probability state), changing the value of the random number to be the big hit Since it is possible to make it difficult to predict the value of the random number, it is possible to suppress fraud.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the description will be continued. The first collision type counter C2 is for determining the jackpot type in the case of a jackpot, and is sequentially incremented by 1 within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 99), and the maximum value (for example, 0 to 99) In the case of a counter that can take a value, it is configured to return to 0 after reaching 99). The value of the first hit type counter C2 is, for example, periodically (in the present embodiment, updated once in each timer interrupt processing), the ball starts one of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b. The value of the first hit type counter C2 at that time is the first hit random number counter C1 among the first to fourth reserved areas provided in the reserved ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203 at the timing when the mouth is won (start winning). It is stored in the first hit type counter storage area 203b2 of the same hold area as the hold area to be stored.

  Here, if the value of the first random number counter C1 stored in the 1 holding area in the holding ball storage area 203b is not a large random number, that is, if it is a random number falling out, the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation effect Or, the type of stop symbol (hereinafter referred to as "stop type") is the one at the time of removal. On the other hand, if the value of the first random number counter C1 stored in the 1 holding area in the holding ball storage area 203b is a random number that makes a big hit, the fluctuation pattern and the type of stop in the change production become the one at the big hit . In this case, the variation pattern at the big hit and the stop type are determined corresponding to the big hit type indicated by the value of the first hit type counter C2 stored in the same holding area.

  The value of the first collision type counter C2 in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured as a loop counter in the range of 0 to 99. The jackpot type is determined based on the first hit type counter C 2 and the jackpot type table 202 b stored in the ROM 202. Here, the jackpot type table 202b will be described with reference to FIG. 8 (b). FIG. 8B is a diagram schematically showing an example of the jackpot type table 202b. As shown in FIG. 8B, the jackpot type table 202b is a table in which the jackpot type is associated with the value of the first hit type counter C2.

  As the jackpot type, as described above, the maximum number of rounds transitions to a high probability state after 15 rounds of jackpot “15R probability variation jackpot”, the maximum number of rounds transitions to a low probability state after 15 rounds of jackpot and 100 During the number of times of fluctuation, there are "15R normal jackpots" that are short-lived, and there are "2R probability variation jackpots" in which the maximum number of rounds transitions to a high probability state after two rounds of jackpots.

  In the jackpot type table 202b, each jackpot type is associated with the value of a first hit type counter C2 that determines the jackpot type. In the example of FIG. 8B, the value "0 to 39" of the first hit type counter C2 is associated with the 15R probability variation jackpot, and the value "40 ... of the first hit type counter C2 for the 15R normal jackpot. 79 "is associated, and the value" 80 to 99 "of the first hit type counter C2 is associated with the 2R probability variation jackpot.

  When the value of the first random number counter C1 is a value that makes a big hit, the big hit type associated with the value of the first hit type counter C2 stored in the same holding area is determined from the big hit type table 202b . For example, if the value of the first hit type counter C2 is "20", "15R probability variation big hit" is determined as the big hit type, and if the value of the first hit type counter C2 is "60", the big hit type is "20" If the 15R normal jackpot is determined, and the value of the first collision type counter C2 is "90", the "2R probability variation jackpot" is determined as the jackpot type.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the 15R probability variation jackpot is selected with a probability of 40% when the jackpot is achieved, the 15R regular jackpot is selected with the probability of 40 percent, and the 2R probability variation jackpot is selected with the probability of 20%. . The probability that each jackpot type is selected when it is a jackpot is appropriately set depending on the model. Then, according to the set probability, the value of the first collision type counter C2 associated with each jackpot type is defined in the jackpot type table.

  The probability that the jackpot type is selected may be changed according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10. In this case, a jackpot type table corresponding to each gaming state may be prepared, and in each jackpot type table, the number of first hit type counters C2 associated with each jackpot type may be changed.

  Further, the probability that the jackpot type is selected may be changed by the entering start opening. That is, as a probability of each jackpot type selected when the value of the first random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball storage area 203b is a random number that becomes a big hit triggered by entering the first starting opening 64a, For example, "15R probability variation big hit" is 40%, "15R regular hit" is 40%, "2R probability variation big hit" is 20%, and it is stored in the storage ball storage area 203b triggered by entering the second starting opening 64b. As a probability of each jackpot type selected when the value of the first random number counter C1 is a jackpot random number, for example, “15R probability variation jackpot” 55%, “15R normal jackpot” 40%, “2R probability variation jackpot” "May be 5%.

  In this case, a jackpot type table corresponding to the first starting port 64a and a jackpot type table corresponding to the second starting port 64b are prepared, and each jackpot type table is associated with each jackpot type in the first hit type table The number of values of the counter C2 may be changed. And in the first to fourth reserved areas of the storage ball storage area 203b, the values of the various counters stored in each area are for winning any start opening of the first start opening 64a and the second start opening 64b. A flag indicating whether or not stored together is also stored, and the jackpot type used when determining the jackpot type based on the first hit type counter C2 stored in each area based on the flag A table may be selected. Alternatively, a flag is separately provided in a form corresponding to each of the first to fourth reserved areas, and the value of the various counters stored in the corresponding area corresponds to that of the first start opening 64a and the second start opening 64b. A jackpot type used when determining a jackpot type based on the first hit type counter C2 stored in each area based on the flag indicating which one of the starting openings has been stored with the winning a prize A table may be selected.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the description of the various counters will be continued. The stop pattern selection counter C3 is configured to be sequentially incremented by one within the range of 0 to 99, for example, and return to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 99). In the present embodiment, the stop pattern selection counter C3 selects the stop type displayed at the third symbol display device 81 at the time of detachment, and after reach is generated, the final stop symbol shifts by only one before and after the reach symbol. Three stops of "reach out of back and forth" and "stop out of reach other than out of back and forth" in which the final stop design stops other than back and forth of reach design after reach similarly occurs. Effects) pattern is selected.

  The value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is, for example, periodically (in the present embodiment, updated once in each timer interrupt processing), the ball is set to one of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b. At the timing of winning (start winning), the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 at that time is stored as the first random number counter C1 among the first to fourth reserved areas provided in the reserved ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203 It is stored in the stop pattern selection counter storage area 203b3 of the same hold area as the hold area.

  A plurality of stop pattern tables 202c having different ranges of random numbers for which the stop type is selected are provided in the ROM 202, corresponding to the stop pattern selection counter C3. A plurality of stop pattern tables 202c are prepared in order to change the selection ratio of the stop type depending on whether the current state of the pachinko machine 10 is the high probability state or the low probability state.

  For example, in the high probability state, the stop pattern table 202c selects a wide range of random numbers from 0 to 89 corresponding to the stop type of "completely out" so that reach effects are not selected more than necessary because jackpots are easily generated And “complete removal” is likely to be selected. In this stop pattern table 202c, "longitudinal outreach" narrows to 98, 99 and "non back and forth out of reach" also narrows to 90 to 97, making "front and back out of reach" and "reach other than back and forth out" difficult to select Become.

  In the low probability state, the range of random numbers corresponding to the stop type of “completely out” is 0 to 79 in order to secure the ball entering time of the ball to the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b. And the narrow stop pattern table 202c is selected, and it becomes difficult to select "complete removal". In this stop pattern table 202c, the range of random numbers corresponding to the stop type of "reach other than back and forth deviation" is wide as 80 to 97, and "reach other than back and forth deviation" is easily selected. Therefore, in the low probability state, it is possible to perform many reach display with a long rendering time, so it is possible to secure the ball entering time of the ball to the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b, and variation by the third symbol display device 81 It becomes easy to continue the display. Also in the latter stop pattern table 202c, the range of the random number values corresponding to the stop type of “front-rear outreach” is set to 98, 99.

  The fluctuation type counter CS1 is configured to be sequentially incremented by one within the range of 0 to 198, for example, and returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 198). The value of the variation type counter CS1 is updated once each time the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10) described later is executed once, and is repeatedly updated even within the remaining time in the main process (see FIG. 17). In addition, the value of fluctuation type counter CS1 at that time is provided in the holding ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203 at the timing when the ball wins (start winning) in any one of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b. Among the first to fourth reserved areas, the first hit random number counter C1 is stored in the same variation area counter storage area 203b4 of the reserved area as the stored area.

  The fluctuation type counter CS1 is used to determine the fluctuation pattern. That is, when the MPU 201 performs the fluctuation effect based on various counters stored in one reserved area, the MPU 201 stores the fluctuation type counter CS1 stored in the fluctuation type counter storage area 203b4 of the reserved area and the ROM 202. The fluctuation pattern is determined by the fluctuation pattern table 202d. Specifically, the determination of the variation pattern is the determination of the variation time of the symbol variation. The voice lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114 are based on the variation pattern (variation time) determined by the variation type counter CS1, and the reach type or the fine symbol of the third symbol displayed on the third symbol display device 81 The variation mode is determined, and the presence or absence of the advance notice effect execution and the execution mode of the advance notice effect are determined.

  Here, the details of the fluctuation pattern table 202d will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 (c) to 8 (e). In the pachinko machine 10, as the fluctuation pattern table 202d, a jackpot fluctuation pattern table 202d1 used at the time of jackpot, and deviation fluctuation pattern tables 202d2 and 202d3 used at the time of detachment are prepared. In addition, as the variation pattern table 202d2 for disengagement, depending on whether the gaming state is a short state or a high probability state at the time of a definite change, or a low probability state at a normal time excluding the short state, for (probability change) A fluctuation pattern table 202d3 and a deviation (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2 are prepared.

  Further, each of the variation pattern tables 202d1 to 202d3 is a table to be referred to when the number of holding balls is 0 (that is, when there is no holding ball), and a table to be referred to when the number of holding balls is 1; A table referred to when the number of balls held is 2, a table referred to when the number of balls held is 3, and a table referred to when the number of balls held is 4 are separately provided.

  Note that it is not necessary to prepare the variation pattern table for each number of holding balls as in the present embodiment, and each variation pattern table 202d1 to 202d3 is changed so that the table referred to simply as the number of holding balls is changed. May be prepared. For example, each of the variation pattern tables 202d1 to 202d3 may be separately prepared as a table to be referred to when the number of holding balls is less than 3 and a table to be referred to when the number of holding balls is 3 or more . Moreover, in each of the variation pattern tables 202d1 to 202d3, the condition of the number of holding balls for determining the table to be referred to may be different. For example, in the jackpot variation pattern table 202d1, a table to be referred to when the number of holding balls is less than 3 and a table to be referred to when the number of holding balls is 3 or more are prepared As the table 202d2, different tables may be prepared for each holding ball number, and as the out (probability change) fluctuation pattern table 202d3, one table may be prepared regardless of the holding ball number.

  FIG. 8C is a diagram schematically showing an example of the jackpot fluctuation pattern table 202d1 referred to when the number of holding balls is 2 among the jackpot fluctuation pattern table 202d1 stored in the ROM 202.

  The jackpot variation pattern table 202d1 is divided into groups (groups) based on the jackpot type, regardless of the number of holding balls. Specifically, it is divided into 15R jackpot common to be referred to when the 15R probability variable jackpot and 15R regular jackpot are determined as the jackpot type, and 2R probability variable jackpot dedicated to be referred to when the 2R probability variable jackpot is determined. There is. The values of the fluctuation type counter CS1 are associated with the divided groups.

  When the value of the first random number counter C1 is a value that makes a big hit (large hit random number value), the variation pattern according to the big hit type corresponding to the value of the first hit type counter C2 stored in the same holding area The group (group) to be referred to in the jackpot variation pattern table 202d1 is determined. In the group (group) of the jackpot fluctuation pattern table 202d1, the fluctuation pattern associated with the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 stored in the same holding area is determined as the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation effect held in the holding area Be done.

  Common to the 15R jackpot, three fluctuation patterns of fluctuation A with a fluctuation time of 30 seconds, fluctuation B with a fluctuation time of 60 seconds, and fluctuation C with a fluctuation time of 90 seconds are prepared, and each fluctuation pattern is prepared. Is associated with the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1.

  The fluctuation A is a fluctuation pattern in which the so-called normal reach in which the third symbol is aligned after the short reach of the fluctuation time is executed by the third symbol display device 81. The change B is a change pattern in which the third symbol display device 81 executes a so-called super reach in which the third symbol is aligned after reaching with a longer change time than the normal reach. The super reach includes, for example, a reach that develops from a normal reach, and a long reach which only has a long reach time. The variation C is a variation pattern in which the third symbol display device 81 executes so-called special reach in which the third symbol is aligned after reaching with a longer variation time than the super reach. The special reach includes, for example, a reach further developed after super reach, and a special reach where the destination from the normal reach is different from the super reach.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8C, the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 when the number of holding balls is 2 corresponds to 0 to 10 with respect to fluctuation A in the common table of 15R big hit 11 to 99 for B and 100 to 198 for fluctuation C. Since the 15R jackpot common table is selected when it is the 15R probability variation jackpot or the 15R normal jackpot, it is easy to select the variation C for which the special reach is executed to give the player a sense of expectation It has become. However, it is possible to provide a game that can expect a jackpot from any reach by configuring that the change A for executing the normal reach and the change B for performing the super reach are also selected.

  In addition, in this pachinko machine 10, a lot of things that effect contents differ in each reach are prepared, for example, in the super reach, the back image (the third symbol which is the main image displayed on the third symbol display device 81) The image displayed on the back side of the image) is rapidly changed and displayed, or the image is displayed with a certain character suddenly displayed. In addition, a notice effect before the start of the change is added. It includes multiple reach with different presentation content, such as one to which is added. In the case of 15R probability variation jackpot or 15R normal jackpot, main controller 110 determines only fluctuation A, fluctuation B and fluctuation C as fluctuation patterns, and in audio lamp control device 113 and display control device 114, each fluctuation A ̃ Determine the detailed variation pattern corresponding to C. In accordance with the detailed fluctuation pattern, the fluctuation effect is executed by the third symbol display device 81.

  For the 2R probability variation jackpot only, only a variation pattern of "2R variation" with a variation time of 59 seconds is selectable. In the jackpot variation pattern table 202d1, all the values that the variation type counter CS1 can take, as shown in FIG. 2R fluctuation is associated with 0 to 198). That is, when the jackpot fluctuation type is 2R probability variation jackpot, 2R fluctuation is always selected as the fluctuation pattern.

  When the 2R variation is selected in main controller 110, a detailed variation pattern corresponding to the 2R variation is determined in audio lamp control device 113 or display control device 114. Therefore, when the 2R probability variation jackpot is determined as the jackpot type in the main control device 110, the third symbol display device 81 executes the variation effect with the detailed variation pattern corresponding to the 2R variation. In the pachinko machine 10, characters such as “chicken” or “girl” are finally displayed in the small areas Ds1 and Ds3 of the third symbol display device 81, for example, as detailed fluctuation patterns corresponding to the 2R fluctuation. The variation pattern in which the third symbol stops at a particular symbol, and the variation pattern in which the third symbol finally stops at a particular symbol are included along with the lighting and blinking of a particular lamp.

  In addition, although the fluctuation pattern at the time of big hit is determined using only the fluctuation type counter CS1, it may be configured to be determined using a plurality of other fluctuation type counters. For example, it may be determined by another fluctuation type counter whether or not to add a notice effect for giving notice of the start of a jackpot or reach effect before the start of a change or during a change effect, or when reach is established, It may be determined by another variation type counter how many symbols the symbol 3 to be stopped is to be shifted and stopped (for example, 1 symbol shifted front and back, etc.).

  In addition, the jackpot variation pattern table 202d1 is provided with a dedicated 2R probability variation jackpot group, but in the present pachinko machine 10, when it becomes a 2R probability variation jackpot, only the variation pattern of "2R fluctuation" is selected, Only the correspondence between the variation type counter CS1 and the variation pattern in the case of becoming a 15R probability variation jackpot or a 15R regular jackpot may be defined in the jackpot variation pattern table 202d1 without providing a group exclusively for 2R probability variation jackpot. In this case, when it becomes 2R probability variation as a jackpot type, 2R fluctuation may be determined as a fluctuation pattern without referring to the jackpot fluctuation pattern table 202d1.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10, only "2R fluctuation" is selected when it becomes 2R probability variation jackpot, but one fluctuation pattern is selected from a plurality of fluctuation patterns when it becomes 2R probability variation jackpot You may do so. In this case, as in the 15R jackpot common group, even in the 2R probability variation jackpot dedicated group, the variation type counter CS1 is associated with the variation pattern selected when the 2R probability variation jackpot becomes, and a certain reserved area The variation pattern associated with the value of the stored variation type counter CS1 may be determined as the variation pattern in the variation effect reserved in the reserve area.

  FIG. 8D schematically shows an example of the out-of-order (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2 referred to when the number of holding balls is 2 among the out-of-out (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2 stored in the ROM 202. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (d), the outlier (ordinary) fluctuation pattern table 202d2 is a completely outlier only, which is referred to when a complete outlier is determined as the outstop type at the time of outlier, and a back and forth out of reach and an out of back It is divided into groups (groups) based on reach common which is referred to when the non-reach is determined and the stop type at the time of out-of-range, and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 corresponds to each of the divided groups It is attached.

  If the value of the first random number counter C1 stored in a certain reserved area is not a big win value (big hit random number value), that is, if it is a value that goes out, the gaming state is normal except for the time saving state When in the low probability state, the variation type counter CS1 stored in the hold area according to the stop type corresponding to the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the same hold area as the first random number counter C1. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the value of is determined from the out-of-order (ordinary) fluctuation pattern table 202d2.

  For complete deviation only, two fluctuation patterns of fluctuation D with a fluctuation time of 7 seconds and fluctuation E with a fluctuation time of 10 seconds are prepared, and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is It is associated. When the fluctuation D or the fluctuation E is selected as the fluctuation pattern, in the third symbol display device 81, after the high-speed fluctuation of the third symbol is started, a fluctuation effect is performed in which stop display is performed without reaching reach. As shown in FIG. 8 (d), in the deviation (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2, when the number of holding balls is 2, the correspondence between the completely deviation-only fluctuation and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is the fluctuation D 0 to 98, the variation E is 99 to 198.

  In addition, for reach common, the three variations A to C mentioned above, that is, the variation A where the variation time is 30 seconds and the normal reach is executed by the third symbol display device 81, and the variation time is 60 seconds the super reach Three fluctuation patterns of fluctuation B executed by 3 symbol display device 81 and fluctuation C executed by 3rd symbol display device 81 with fluctuation time of 90 seconds are prepared to be selectable. In the out-of-order (ordinary) fluctuation pattern table 202d2, the correspondence between each reach common fluctuation and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 when the number of holding balls is 2 corresponds to 0 to 98 for fluctuation A and 99 to 190 for fluctuation B. , And the variation C is 191 to 198.

  FIG. 8E schematically shows an example of the out-of-order (probability-change) fluctuation pattern table 202d3 to be referred to when the number of holding balls is 2 among the out-of-order (probability-change) fluctuation pattern table 202d3 stored in the ROM 202 FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8E, the out-of-normal (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202 d 3 is referred to when the complete out-of-point is determined as the stop type at the time of out-of-out, similarly to the out-of-normal (normal) fluctuation pattern table For complete out-of-the-box only, where fluctuation D and fluctuation E can be selected as a fluctuation pattern, and common reach where reference is made when out-of-front and out-of-front reach are determined and fluctuations A to C can be selected as fluctuation patterns, It is divided into groups (groups) based on the stop type at the time of departure, and in the divided groups, the value of the change type counter CS1 is associated with the change pattern which can be respectively selected.

  If the value of the first random number counter C1 stored in a certain reserved area is not a big hit, that is, it is a value that is out, if the gaming state is a time saving state or a high probability state at a definite change, According to the stop type corresponding to the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the same hold area, the change pattern corresponding to the value of the change type counter CS1 stored in the hold area has a deviation pattern for out-of-order (probable change) It is determined from the table 202d3.

  As shown in FIG. 8E, in the out-of-order (probable-change) change pattern table 202d3, the correspondence between each change and the value of the change type counter CS1 in the complete release only when the number of holding balls is 2 is change D 0 to 190, the variation E is 191 to 198. In addition, the correspondence between each variation in reach common when the number of holding balls is 2 and the value of the variation type counter CS1 is 0 to 98 for variation A, 99 to 190 for variation B, and 191 to 198 for variation C. ing. That is, the correspondence between each fluctuation in reach common and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is the same in the out (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2 and the out (probable fluctuation) fluctuation pattern table 202d3.

  On the other hand, when the gaming state is short or a high probability state at the time of definite variation, the ball is likely to enter the second starting opening 64b, and there are many complete deviations (variation E) with a long fluctuation time If this is done, it takes time until the start of the next variable display, which may cause the player to wait and feel uncomfortable. In addition, it is not preferable because the operation rate decreases as a hole.

  Therefore, if the game state is completely out when the game state is in the time reduction state or the high probability state at a certain change, the completely out of the variation time is shorter than in the other game states (normal state except time reduction state) In order to facilitate selection of the fluctuation D), a deviation (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2 and a deviation (probability fluctuation) fluctuation pattern table 202d3 are configured. Thus, the possibility of giving the player a sense of discomfort can be reduced by performing the start of the next variable display early. In addition, it is possible to suppress an extreme decrease in the operating rate.

  Although the fluctuation pattern at the time of deviation is selected using only the fluctuation type counter CS1, a plurality of fluctuation type counters may be used in combination (selection of presence / absence of advance notice, etc. may be selected). Also, although the selection of the outlier type is divided into the outlier (ordinary) fluctuation pattern table and the outlier (probability change) fluctuation pattern table, a plurality of holding balls (for example, even if the gaming state is normal) In the case of four or more, if three or more, the variation display may be ended early, so it may be selected with reference to the out-of-order (probable variation) variation pattern table.

  In addition, since the correspondence between the fluctuations A to C and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 selected when the fluctuation type is a reach other than the front or back reach or the front or back end is the same regardless of the gaming state, Normal) The variation pattern table 202d2 and the out-of-order (probable variation) variation pattern table 202d3 do not include the reach common group, and these variation pattern tables 202d2 and 202d3 are referred to only when the stop type is completely out. The fluctuation pattern table to be referred to may be separately prepared in the case where the stop type is reach other than the front or back reach or the front or back out regardless of the game state.

  In the pachinko machine 10, the correspondence between the changes A to C and the value of the change type counter CS1 selected when the change type is a reach other than the front or back reach is the same regardless of the gaming state Although it has been described, it may be different depending on the gaming state.

  Furthermore, in the fluctuation pattern tables 202d and 202d3 for each deviation shown in FIGS. 8D and 8E, the fluctuation D and the fluctuation E are simply referred to as “complete outlier fluctuation”, and the “complete outlier fluctuation” is selected. In this case, the variation D and the variation E may be selected with a predetermined probability with reference to another table. Of course, also in this case, a table corresponding to the number of holding balls may be prepared.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the second random number counter C4 is configured as a loop counter which is sequentially incremented by one within the range of 0 to 250, for example, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 250). When the second random number counter C4 makes one revolution, the value of the second initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is read as the initial value of the second random number counter C4.

  In the present embodiment, the value of the second random number counter C4 is updated for each timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14), and is acquired when it is detected that the ball has passed either the left or right through gate 67. The number of random numbers to be won is 149, and the range is “5 to 153”. That is, it is determined to be a hit when the value of the second hit random number counter C4 obtained is in the range of "5-153", and the symbol "o" is displayed as a stop symbol (second symbol) in the second symbol display device 83. At the same time as the light is displayed, the motorized part of the second starting port 64b is operated, and the second starting port 64b is opened for a predetermined time.

  The second initial value random number counter CINI2 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the second random number counter C4 (value = 0 to 250), and is once for each timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10) While being updated, it is repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main process (see FIG. 17).

  As described above, the RAM 203 is provided with various counters and the like, and the main control unit 110 causes the jackpot lottery and the fluctuation display in the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 in accordance with the value of the counter etc. It is possible to execute main processing of the pachinko machine 10, such as setting of (variation effect) and lottery of display results on the second symbol display device 83.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the description will be continued. The award ball number table 202e of the ROM 202 is a table that defines the number of award balls to be paid out when the balls enter the ball (winning) for each winning opening 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, 65a. Here, with reference to FIG. 9, the details of the winning balls number table 202e will be described. FIG. 9 is a schematic view schematically showing the contents of the winning number table 202e.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the prize ball number table 202e, as the "starting opening type", the first starting opening 64a, the second starting opening 64b, the first ordinary winning opening 63a, the second ordinary winning opening 63b, and the special winning opening 65a. Is defined, and for each winning opening, the number of winning balls corresponding to the winning opening is specified. Specifically, in the winning balls number table 202e, the winning balls number 3 is associated with the first starting opening 64a, the winning balls number 2 is associated with the second starting opening 64b, and the first ordinary winning The number of winning balls 8 is associated with the mouth 63a, the number of winning balls 8 is associated with the second ordinary winning hole 63b, and the number of winning balls 12 is associated with the large winning hole 65a.

  The winning balls number table 202e defines the number of winning balls corresponding to each winning hole for all winning holes provided on the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10, when a winning opening is provided in addition to the above winning openings 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, 65a, the winning ball number table 202e including the number of winning balls corresponding to the winning opening. Is defined.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10, the number of winning balls is the same between the first ordinary winning opening 63a and the second ordinary winning opening 63b. Therefore, in the prize ball number table 202e, the first ordinary winning opening 63a and the second ordinary winning opening 63b are combined to define the "starting opening type" as the "normal winning opening" and correspond to the "normal winning opening". The number of winning balls may be defined as eight. If the number of winning balls in the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b is the same as "3", then the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b are aligned in the winning balls number table 202e. The "starting opening type" may be defined as "starting opening", and the number of winning balls may be defined in association with the "starting opening".

  The prize ball number table 202 e is transmitted to the item ratio management chip 207 in the initialization process of the MPU 201 executed when the main controller 110 is powered on, and the item ratio management chip 207 uses the item Used when calculating the ratio.

  The trigger information data 202 f is data that defines the timing (trigger) at which the accessory ratio management chip 207 calculates the accessory ratio. Although the details will be described later, the character ratio management chip 207 calculates the character ratio at the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202 f.

  The combination ratio management chip 207 corresponds to three timings (triggers) as timings (triggers) for calculating the combination ratio. The first is the number of balls emitted, and the item ratio management chip 207 calculates an item ratio each time the number of balls fired reaches a predetermined number of balls. The second is time, and the item ratio management chip 207 calculates an item ratio when a predetermined time is reached. The third is the game time, and the item ratio management chip 207 calculates the item ratio when the game time by the player has passed a predetermined time.

  The trigger information data 202 f defines information indicating any of “number of shots”, “time”, and “game time” as calculation timing (trigger) of the item ratio in the item ratio management chip 207.

  The trigger information data 202 f also defines information indicating a “predetermined number of balls” at which it is time to calculate an accessory ratio when information indicating “number of shots” is defined. For example, if the trigger information data 202f defines information indicating "number of shots" and information indicating 500 spheres as "predetermined number of spheres", the feature ratio is determined each time the number of firing balls reaches 500. In the management chip 207, the feature ratio is calculated.

  When information indicating “time” is defined, the trigger information data 202 f also defines information indicating “predetermined time” at which to calculate the role ratio. For example, when the information indicating “time” is defined in the trigger information data 202 f and the information indicating “12 o'clock, 17 o'clock, 19 o'clock, 22 o'clock as“ predetermined time ”, the time is 12 o'clock At the timings of 17 o'clock, 19 o'clock, and 22 o'clock, the bonus ratio is calculated in the bonus ratio management chip 207.

  The trigger information data 202 f defines information indicating “predetermined time” at which it is time to calculate the role ratio when information indicating “playing time” is defined. For example, when the trigger information data 202 f defines information indicating “playing time” and information indicating “two hours as“ predetermined time ”, the bonus ratio management chip 207 is displayed every two hours of playing time. The feature ratio is calculated at.

  The trigger information data 202f is transmitted to the prize ratio management chip 207 in the initialization process of the MPU 201 executed when the main controller 110 is powered on, together with the prize ball number table 202e, and the prize ratio The management chip 207 is used to determine a trigger for calculating the feature ratio.

  The RAM 203 is a stack area where the contents of internal registers of the MPU 201 and the return address of the control program executed by the MPU 201 are stored in addition to the counter buffer shown in FIG. 7, various flags and counters, I / O And a work area (work area) in which values such as are stored. The RAM 203 is configured to be able to receive data (backup) supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply unit 115 even after the pachinko machine 10 is powered off, and all data stored in the RAM 203 is backed up. .

  When the power is shut off (including when a power outage occurs, the same applies hereinafter), the power outage signal SG1 output from the power outage monitoring circuit 252 is input to the NMI terminal of the MPU 201. By this input, power off occurrence information is set by NMI interrupt processing (see FIG. 15) to be executed. Then, when it is determined in the main processing (FIG. 17) of the MPU 201 that power generation interruption information is present, the stack pointer at that time and the value of each register are stored in the RAM 203.

  On the other hand, when the power is turned on (including the power on after the power failure is eliminated, the same applies hereinafter), the state of the pachinko machine 10 is restored to the state before the power is shut off based on the information stored in the RAM 203. The writing to the RAM 203 is executed when the power is shut off by the main processing (see FIG. 20), and the restoration of each value written to the RAM 203 is executed in the start-up process (see FIG. 19) when the power is turned on.

  The RAM 203 further includes a holding ball number counter 203a, a holding ball storage area 203b, a holding ball execution area 203c, a first one counter 203d, a first two counter 203e, a first one counter 203f, a second two counter 203g, and a large winning opening counter 203h, out. It has at least a counter 203i.

  The holding ball number counter 203a is a starting opening of either the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b detected in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14) which is periodically executed every 2 milliseconds. Count the number of holding balls (number of waits) of the fluctuation display (the fluctuation effect performed by the third symbol display device 81) performed by the first symbol display device 37 on the basis of entering the ball (start prize winning) up to 4 times Counter. The holding ball number counter 203a is set to zero as an initial value by the initial setting process (S616 in FIG. 16) of the RAM 203 after the power is turned on. Then, each time the start winning is detected and the number of balls in the variable display increases, 1 is added up to the maximum value 4 (see S202 and S203 in FIG. 12). On the other hand, the reserved ball number counter 203a is decremented by one each time the variable effect is executed (see S305 in FIG. 13).

  The value of the holding ball number counter 203a (that is, the holding ball number) is notified to the voice lamp control device 113 by the holding ball number command (see S205 of FIG. 12). The holding ball number command is a command transmitted from the main control unit 110 to the voice lamp control unit 113 each time the starting winning is detected and the holding ball number counter 203a is incremented by one.

  The voice lamp control device 113 can acquire the value of the number of balls for holding of the variation effect that is held for the main control device 110 by the number of balls for holding command. As a result, the audio lamp control device 113 can manage the number of holdings of the variable effect without accessing the main control device 110. Also, every time when the start winning is detected, the main ball controller 110 transmits a ball number command for holding balls to the sound lamp control device 113 so that the number of holding balls of the fluctuation effect managed in the sound lamp control device 113 is noise. Even if the main ball control unit 110 deviates from the actual number of balls held by the main controller 110 due to the influence of the etc., it is possible to correct the deviation by means of the ball number command received next.

  The voice lamp control device 113 transmits a display holding ball number command for notifying the number of holding balls to the display control device 114 each time the number of holding balls internally managed changes. The display control device 114 displays the number-of-held balls number pattern in the number-of-held balls display area Db of the third symbol display device 81 based on the number of held balls notified by the number-of-held balls command for display.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the main control device 110 transmits the holding ball number command to the voice lamp control device 113, not only the value of the holding ball number counter 203a added by 1 in the holding ball number command but The first hit random number counter C1, the first hit type counter C2 and the stop pattern selection counter acquired from the counter buffer (see FIG. 6) in conjunction with the start winning combination triggered by the addition of the holding ball number counter 203a. Each value of C3, fluctuation type counter CS1 is also included.

  That is, when there is a start winning, each value of the first hit random number counter C1, the first hit type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the change type counter CS1 acquired from the counter buffer in the main controller 110 is , And is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 113 by the command of the number of holding balls.

  In the voice lamp control device 113, the values of the first random number counter C1, the first collision type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the fluctuation type counter CS1 transmitted by the holding ball number command are changed based on the respective values Before the effect is executed, it is read ahead and it is judged before the execution of the variable effect that the change effect will be (whether the jackpot, the fluctuation time, etc.). And based on the judgment result by the pre-reading, execution of various performance can be decided now.

  The storage ball storage area 203b includes a first hit random number counter C1, a first hit type counter C2, a stop pattern selection counter C3 and a change type counter CS1 acquired from the counter buffer (see FIG. 7) upon detection of the start winning. It is a memory for storing each value individually. When the MPU 201 detects that the ball has won (start winning) into either of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10), each counter from the counter buffer The values of C1 to C3 and CS1 are obtained and stored in the holding ball storage area 203b. The storage ball storage area 203b has four storage areas (storage first to fourth) so that data (each value of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1) corresponding to one start winning can be stored (held) up to four times. 4 areas) (see FIG. 7).

  The holding ball execution area 203c is data to be referred to in processing such as a big hit lottery and setting of fluctuation display (variation effect) of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 (each of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 Memory) for storing values.

  When the MPU 201 detects that it is the execution start timing of the fluctuation effect, in order to execute processing such as a jackpot lottery and setting of fluctuation display (variation effect) of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 Of the data (each value of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1) corresponding to each start winning combination stored in the holding ball storage area 203b described above, the data corresponding to one starting winning combination is the holding ball execution area 203c. Shift to Note that the shift in the present embodiment indicates that data stored in one area is moved to another area.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 7 again, details of the holding ball storage area 203b and the holding ball execution area 203c will be described. The holding ball storage area 203b and the holding ball execution area 203c are the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 in order to perform a big hit lottery and setting of fluctuation display (variation effect) of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81. Used by

  In the setting of the variation display (variation production) of the jackpot lottery and the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81, the first hit random number counter C1 used for the jackpot lottery, and the first used for determining the jackpot type A hit type symbol counter C2, a stop pattern selection counter C3 used to determine the stop type at the time of removal, and a change type counter CS1 used to determine the change pattern are used. In the holding ball storage area 203b, each of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 acquired from the counter buffer by the MPU 201 when the ball wins (start winning) to any one of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b. Store each value.

  The holding ball storage area 203b is configured of four holding areas (first to fourth holding areas). The first per-random-number counter storage area 203b1 for storing the first per-random-number counter C1 and the first per-class-type counter C2 are stored in four storage areas (reserved first to fourth areas) respectively A type counter storage area 203b2 per unit, a stop pattern selection counter storage area 203b3 for storing the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, and a variation type counter storage area 203b4 for storing the value of the variation type counter CS1 are provided.

  In the present embodiment, the first hit random number counter storage area 203b1, the first hit type counter storage area 203b2, the stop pattern selection counter storage area 203b3, and the variation type counter storage area 203b4 are one holding ball storage area. Although provided in 203 b, a plurality of holding ball storage areas may be provided, and each of the four areas 203 b 1, 203 b 2, 203 b 3 and 203 b 4 may be provided in any of the holding ball storage areas.

  As described above, in the holding ball storage area 203b, data (each value of each counter C1 to C3 and CS1) acquired at the timing when the ball wins (start winning) to the second starting opening 64b is stored up to 4 times However, in that case, data are stored in order from the area with the smallest area number (first to fourth) among the vacant areas of the four reservation areas (first to fourth reserved areas). That is, as the area number decreases, data corresponding to the start winning combination that is older in time is stored, and in the reserved first area, data that corresponds to the oldest starting winning combination in time is stored.

  On the other hand, the holding ball execution area 203c is composed of only one area. In the holding ball execution area 203c, similarly to the holding ball storage area 203b, the first hit random number counter storage area 203c1 for storing the value of the first hit random number counter C1 and the value of the first hit type counter C2 are stored. A first collision type counter storage area 203c2, a stop pattern selection counter storage area 203c3 for storing the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, and a fluctuation type counter storage area 203c4 for storing the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 are provided.

  When the MPU 201 determines that the execution start timing of the variation effect comes, the data (each value of each of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1) stored in the first holding area of the holding ball storage area 203b is stored in the holding ball It shifts to each area 203c1 to 203c4 of the execution area 203c. Then, the data shifted to the holding ball execution area 203c is referred to in the fluctuation start process (see FIG. 17), and a big hit lottery is performed based on the reference data, and the fluctuation pattern and the stop type corresponding to the lottery result decide. In the first symbol display device 37, under the control of the main control device 110, the variable display is performed based on the determined fluctuation pattern and the stop type.

  Further, the fluctuation pattern and the stop type determined here are notified to the voice lamp control device 113 by the fluctuation pattern command and the stop type command, and are also notified to the display control device 114 via the voice lamp control device 113. . Then, under the control of the display control device 114, in the third symbol display device 81, the fluctuation effect is performed based on the fluctuation pattern and the stop type notified by the fluctuation pattern command and the stop type command.

  The details of the data shift will be described. When the MPU 201 determines that it is time to start the execution of the variation effect, the random number value of the first random number counter storage area 203b1 of the first holding area to the first random number counter storage area 203c1 of the holding ball execution area 203c. shift. Similarly, the random number value in the first type counter storage area 203b2 is shifted to the first type counter storage area 203c2, and the random number value in the stop pattern selection counter storage area 203b3 is shifted to the stop pattern selection counter storage area 203c3. The random number value of the fluctuation type counter storage area 203b4 is shifted to the fluctuation type counter storage area 203c4.

  Then, when the data shift to the holding ball execution area 203c is completed, the first holding area becomes empty, so it is stored (held) in each area (second to fourth) of the holding ball storage area 203b. A shift process is performed to pack data in an area (first to third) having a small area number. In the present embodiment, in the holding ball storage area 203b, data is shifted only for the holding areas (first to fourth) in which the data is stored (held).

  Here, the data shift performed for each holding area in the holding ball storage area 203b will be described. For example, it is assumed that the value of the holding ball number counter 203a when the judgment of the start of the change effect is made is "4" and data is stored in all areas (first to fourth) of the holding ball storage area 203b. Do. In this state, when the data of the holding first area is shifted to the holding ball execution area 203c and the holding first area becomes empty, the MPU 201 makes the data of the other areas (second to fourth) an area, respectively. Shift to an area (first to third) with one smaller number. That is, the data of the holding second area is shifted to the holding first area, the data of the holding third area is shifted to the holding second area, and the data of the holding fourth area is shifted to the holding third area.

  Also, for example, if the value of the holding ball number counter 203a when the judgment of the start of the change effect is made is “2”, the MPU 201 shifts only the data of the holding second area to the holding first area. , End the data shift. As described above, in the present embodiment, the data shift process is not performed on the reserved areas (third to fourth) in which data is not stored (held), so the number of times of data shift can be reduced. It is possible to reduce the control burden.

  Note that regardless of the presence or absence of data, each data of the reserved areas (second to fourth) may be shifted to an area with a smaller area number, respectively. In that case, since it is unnecessary to determine whether data is stored (held) in the reserved area (second to fourth), it is possible to facilitate the creation of the program.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the description will be continued. The start 1 counter 203d is a counter for counting the number of balls winning in the first starting opening 64a, the start 2 counter 203e is a counter for counting the number of balls winning in the second starting opening 64b, a counter 1 counter 203f. A counter that counts the number of balls that have won in the first ordinary winning opening 63a, a counter that counts the number of balls that have won in the second ordinary winning opening 63b, a large winning opening counter 203h The counter for counting the number of balls winning in the winning opening 65a, the out counter 203i is a counter for counting the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the number of balls used in the game) is there. Each of these counters 203d to 203i is set to zero as an initial value by the initial setting process (S616 in FIG. 16) of the RAM 203 after the power is turned on.

  Also, the MPU 201 performs the switch reading process (see FIG. 11) executed in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10) executed every two milliseconds, the start port 205a and the start port 205b, and the normal port 1 The first starting port switch 208a, the second starting port switch 208b, the first ordinary winning port switch 208c, and the second ordinary winning port switch 208d with reference to the port 205c, the normal port 2 205d, the special winning port 205e and the out port 205f. In each of the special winning opening switch 208 f and the out switch 208 g, it is determined whether or not a ball is detected. Then, when there is a prize in any winning opening (a ball is detected in the corresponding switch), the counter corresponding to the winning port that had the prize is incremented by one, and the ball is turned off at the out switch 208g. Is detected, the out counter 203i is incremented by one.

  The counting of the number of spheres in the counters 203d to 203i is continuously performed for 0.5 seconds. When 0.5 seconds have passed, the values of the counters 203d to 203h are used as the winning information, and the value of the out counter 203i is set as the out information in the bonus ratio management chip 207 together with the information indicating the gaming state at that time. Be done. When the setting of the values of the counters 203d to 203i in the item ratio management chip 207 is completed, the values of these counters 203d to 203i are initialized to zero, and again, the winning openings for the next 0.5 seconds are won The number of balls played is counted for each winning opening, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the number of balls used in the game) is counted.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have won in each winning opening at every 0.5 second interval and counts the number of balls that have been won in each winning opening. The number (ie, the number of balls used in the game) is counted, and the counted result is set in the accessory ratio management chip 207. Then, as described later, the item ratio management chip 207 accumulates these counted values for each value until it is time to calculate the item ratio, so that it is not possible for the first time after the power is turned on. The number of balls that have won in each winning opening until the timing to calculate the item ratio or until the timing to calculate the next item ratio after the last calculating the item ratio is the winning opening It counts every time, and also counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the number of balls used in the game).

  As described above, since the number of winning balls to the winning opening actually detected by the MPU 201 is input from the MPU 201 to the bonus ratio management chip 207, the bonus ratio management chip 207 is used in the actual game. You can accurately grasp the number of balls that are recognized as winning.

  Also, temporarily, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have won in each winning opening, and counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharging path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). If you do not perform this and calculate these counts only with the item ratio management chip 207, even with the item ratio management chip, it will be guided to each winning opening at a short interval (for example, an interval of 2 milliseconds) or to the ball discharge path. And the processing load may increase, and power consumption may also increase.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10, these counting results are set in the accessory ratio management chip 207 at intervals of 0.5 seconds according to the counting of the MPU 201. Each winning combination is from the time the power is turned on until the timing at which the feature ratio is calculated for the first time, or from the previous calculation of the feature ratio to the time at which the feature ratio is calculated next The number of balls won in the mouth may be counted for each winning opening, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the number of balls used in the game) may be counted. Therefore, increase in processing load and power consumption in the item ratio management chip 207 can be suppressed.

  On the other hand, the MPU 201 counts, for each winning opening, the number of balls that have won in each winning opening, and counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharging path (that is, the number of balls used in the game) In order to monitor, for example, winnings to each winning opening and balls guided to the ball discharging path at intervals of 2 milliseconds, these monitorings are primarily the main game, such as a jackpot lottery or a prize ball judgment. It is necessary to perform such control, and processing is originally performed at 2 millisecond intervals and short time intervals. Further, in the pachinko machine 10, since the firing interval of the balls fired to the game area by the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 5) is about 0.6 seconds, each winning opening counted in 0.5 second intervals is The number of balls won and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the number of balls used in the game) are in most cases 0 or 1 ball, and at most several balls Therefore, the amount of data required for the counters 203d to 203i provided in the RAM 203 may be small. Therefore, the capacity increase of the RAM 203 can be suppressed by the process of this counting. Therefore, in MPU 201, the number of balls winning in each winning opening in 0.5 seconds is counted for each winning opening, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharging path (ie, balls used in the game) Even if the process of counting the number of

  The feature ratio management chip 207 is provided with a CPU 261, a buffer 262, a first reading memory 263, a second reading memory 264, a setting register 265, and a real time clock (hereinafter referred to as "RTC") 266. They are connected to one another via a bus 206. The bus 206 is also connected to the MPU 201 and the inspection terminal 207a.

  Further, a large capacity capacitor 267 is connected to the item ratio management chip 207. The capacitor 267 is charged while power is supplied to the main controller 110, and when the power supply to the main controller 110 is stopped due to a power failure or the like, the item ratio management chip 207 The power stored in the capacitor 267 is used to execute the process associated with the power-off. Note that instead of the capacitor 267, a chargeable / dischargeable secondary battery may be connected to the feature ratio management chip 207.

  The CPU 261 is an arithmetic device that controls the operation of the item ratio management chip 207 and executes the control program stored in the ROM (not shown) provided in the item ratio management chip 207 to execute the role of the pachinko machine 10. Management of the product ratio, etc. is performed by the role ratio management chip 207. By performing management of the role ratio in the role ratio management chip 207 by the CPU 261 and the like, by changing the software, it is possible to flexibly cope with the function change or the specification change of the role ratio management chip 207.

  The RTC 266 outputs the current time. The RTC 266 incorporates a chargeable / dischargeable secondary battery (not shown), and the secondary battery is used as a power supply, and the RTC 266 outputs the current time while constantly cutting the current time. The time output by the RTC 266 is referred to by the CPU 261 when the timing (trigger) for calculating the accessory ratio set by the trigger setting area 265 b is “time”, and the time indicated by the RTC 266 is the trigger setting area If it matches or exceeds the "predetermined time" set in 265b, a process of calculating the bonus ratio is executed. In addition, although the details will be described later, the first reading memory 263 for the jackpot middle data 263g, the open data 263h, the error middle data 263i, and the overtime data 263k respectively the jackpot information, the door open information, the error middle information or When out-of-time information is added, the time at that time is read out from the RTC 266, and the read out time is added to each data together with each information.

  The buffer 262 is a memory for temporarily storing various information set by the MPU 201, and is configured by a static random access memory (SRAM) that is a volatile memory capable of reading and writing data. The buffer 262 includes at least a start buffer 262a, a start 2 buffer 262b, a normal 1 buffer 262c, a normal 2 buffer 262d, a large winning opening buffer 262f, a large hit buffer 262g, an open buffer 262h, an error buffer 262i, etc. ing.

  The value of the start 1 counter 203 d set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the start 1 buffer 262 a. The value of the start 2 counter 203 e set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the start 2 buffer 262 b. The value of the common 1 counter 203f set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the common 1 buffer 262c. The value of the common counter 203g set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the common buffer 262d. The value of the special winning opening counter 203h set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the special winning opening buffer 262e. The value of the out counter 203i set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the out buffer 262f.

  If the gaming state set by the MPU 201 at a 0.5 second interval is in the middle of a big hit, the information (big hit information) is stored in the big hit middle buffer 262 g. When the gaming state set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is during the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, the information (door open information) is stored in the open buffer 262h. In the error buffer 262i, when the gaming state set by the MPU 201 at an interval of 0.5 seconds is in error, the information (error information) is stored.

  In the item ratio management chip 207, setting (writing) is performed by the MPU 201 on various buffers provided in the buffer 262, and when an interrupt signal is received from the MPU 201, the CPU 261 performs setting information reception processing described later (FIG. See). The setting information reception process counts the number of balls won for each winning opening on the basis of various information set in the buffer 262, and the balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the balls fired to the game area) The number of these balls is counted in the first reading memory 263 and information on the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 is also stored in the first reading memory 263.

  The setting register 265 is a register for setting a setting value necessary for the operation of the item ratio management chip 207. The setting register 265 is provided with at least an award ball number data setting area 265a and a trigger setting area 265b.

  In the award ball number data setting area 265a, an award ball number table 202e (see FIG. 9) stored in the ROM 202 of the MPU 201 is set. In the trigger setting area 265b, trigger information data 202f stored in the ROM 202 of the MPU 201 is set. When the main controller 110 is powered on, the winning balls number table 202 e and the trigger information data 202 f are transmitted to the role ratio management chip 207. Then, the CPU 261 sets the award ball number table 202e in the award ball number data setting area 265a, and sets the trigger information data 202f in the trigger setting area 265b.

  The winning balls number table 202e set in the winning balls number data setting area 275a is referred to by the CPU 261 when calculating the character object ratio. Here, the number of winning balls when each winning opening is won is determined by the model of the pachinko machine, and the information is stored in the ROM 202 conventionally. The information on the number of winning balls is sent to the prize ratio management chip 207 each time the power is supplied, and the winning balls number table 202 e stored in the ROM 202 is sent to the prize ratio data setting area of the prize ratio management chip 207. By setting 265 a, it is not necessary to store information on the number of winning balls different for each model in the ROM of the bonus ratio management chip 207 at the manufacturing stage. Therefore, the manufacturing of the property ratio management chip 207 can be simplified. If the model of the pachinko machine is different, the ROM 202 may be changed, and even if the pachinko machines of different models use the same item ratio management chip 207, the combination ratio can be accurately calculated.

  The trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is also referred to by the CPU 261, and it is determined whether it is a timing (trigger) to calculate the role ratio shown in the trigger information data 202f, and the timing is reached. If it is determined, a process of calculating an accessory ratio is executed. Here, since the timing (trigger) of the calculation of the item ratio is physically limited to the storage capacity which can record the information on the item ratio in the item ratio management chip 207, the item ratio management chip 207 It is preferable not to fix the timing but to consider the jackpot probability and the probability change ratio in the pachinko machine 10 or the like. As in the case of the pachinko machine 10, the trigger information data 202f defining the timing of calculation of the part ratio determined in consideration of the jackpot probability and the probability change ratio in the pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 202 and supplied with power. Every time the trigger information data 202f is sent to the role ratio management chip 207 to the ROM 202, the feature ratio management chip 207 makes it possible to use the feature at a timing that matches the jackpot probability or the probability change ratio in the pachinko machine 10. The ratio and the continuous character ratio can be calculated and stored in the second reading memory 264.

  It should be noted that only the award ball number table 202e and the trigger information data 202f transmitted in the start-up process (so-called boot process) executed by the MPU 201 when the main controller 110 is powered on are the award ball number data. The setting area 265 a and the trigger setting area 265 b are configured to be set. The startup process is a so-called boot process and is a non-user program that is not programmed by the user. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fraudulent player from setting the lie number ball table and the trigger information data for the number ball data setting area 265a and the trigger setting area 265b.

  The first reading memory 263 is a memory for temporarily storing the information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 while accumulating, until the feature ratio calculation timing. The first reading memory 263 is configured of a volatile memory capable of reading and writing data, such as an SRAM. Note that the first reading memory 263 may be configured by a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), which is a volatile memory capable of reading and writing larger amounts of data.

  The first reading memory 263 includes a first counter 263a, a second counter 263b, a first counter 263d, a second counter 263e, a special winning opening counter 263e, an out counter 263f, a middle hit data 263g, an open data 263h, an error Data 263i and overtime data 263j are at least stored. These counters and data stored in the first reading memory 263 are all initialized to 0 by the CPU 261 based on an initialization signal transmitted from the MPU 201 when the main controller 110 is powered on ( See S710 in FIG. 18).

  Further, these counters and data stored in the first reading memory 263 are referred to by the character ratio calculating process executed by the CPU 261 when it is time to calculate the character ratio, and necessary processing is executed. After that, the CPU 261 initializes them all to 0 again (S744 in FIG. 21). Thus, the information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is temporarily stored again in the first reading memory 263 until it is time to calculate the feature ratio next time. .

  The first counter 263a is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls won in the first starting opening 64a until the timing of calculating the item ratio. When the value of the start counter 203d indicating the number of balls won in the first start port 64a for 0.5 seconds is set in the start buffer 262a by the MPU 201, the value set in the start buffer 262a by the CPU 261 is set. (That is, the number of balls having won the first starting opening 64a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the first counter 263a.

  The start 2 counter 263b is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls won in the second starting opening 64b until the timing of calculating the item ratio. When the value of the start 2 counter 203e indicating the number of balls winning in the first starting opening 64a for 0.5 seconds is set in the start 2 buffer 262b by the MPU 201, the value set in the start 2 buffer 262b is determined by the CPU 261 (That is, the number of balls having won the second starting opening 64b for 0.5 seconds) is added to the start 2 counter 263b.

  The common counter 263c is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls that have won in the first ordinary winning opening 63a until the timing of calculating the item ratio. When the value of the general counter 1 203 f indicating the number of balls winning in the first ordinary winning opening 63 a for 0.5 seconds is set by the MPU 201 in the general buffer 262 c, the CPU 261 sets the value in the general buffer 262 c. The value (that is, the number of balls having won the first normal winning opening 63a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the counter 1 263c.

  The counter 2 263 d is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls that have won in the second ordinary winning opening 63 b until the timing of calculating the item ratio. When the value of the common counter 203g indicating the number of balls won in the second normal winning opening 63b for 0.5 seconds is set in the common buffer 262d by the MPU 201, the CPU 261 sets the value in the common buffer 262d. The value (that is, the number of balls having won the second normal winning opening 63b for 0.5 seconds) is added to the counter 2 263d.

  The special winning opening counter 263 e is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls that have won in the special winning opening 65 a before the timing of calculating the item ratio. When the value of the special winning opening counter 203h indicating the number of balls winning in the special winning opening 65a for 0.5 seconds is set in the special winning opening buffer 262e by the MPU 201, the CPU 261 sets it in the special winning opening buffer 262e. The value (that is, the number of balls winning the big winning opening 65a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the big winning opening counter 263e.

  The out counter 263 f is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the balls fired to the game area) until the timing of calculating the item ratio. When the value of the out counter 203i indicating the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path for 0.5 seconds is set in the out buffer 262f by the MPU 201, the value set in the out buffer 262f by the CPU 261 (that is, 0 The number of balls guided to the ball discharge path for 5 seconds is added to the out counter 263f. When the trigger for calculating the character object ratio set in the trigger setting area 265b is the "number of shots", this out counter 263f is referred to, and the number of balls indicated by the out counter 263f (number of shots) is the trigger setting area When the "predetermined number of balls" set to 265b is reached or more, the CPU 261 executes a process of calculating the character ratio.

  The jackpot middle data 263 g is the jackpot information indicating that the pachinko machine 10 has become a jackpot when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 has become a jackpot by the time the feature ratio is calculated and the time at that time It is the data defined together. When the MPU 201 sets the jackpot information indicating that the jackpot is being played as the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 in the jackpot middle buffer 262 g, the CPU 261 controls the jackpot information together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266, the jackpot Medium data is added to 263g.

  The opening data 263h indicates that the pachinko machine 10 is open when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 is opening the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 (door) before the timing to calculate the character ratio. It is the data which specified the door opening information which shows that it became a state with the time at that time. When the door opening information indicating that the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is open is set as the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 in the opening buffer 262h by the MPU 201, the door opening information is displayed by the CPU 261. Are added to the open data 263 h in conjunction with the current time indicated by the RTC 266.

  The in-error data 263 g is in-error information indicating that the pachinko machine 10 is in error if the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 is in error before the timing of calculating the item ratio. It is the data specified together with the time of. When the MPU 201 sets an in-error information indicating that an error is being made as the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 in the in-error buffer 262i, the in-error information is matched by the CPU 261 with the current time indicated by the RTC 266. , During error is added to the data 263i.

  In the pachinko machine 10, the overtime data 263j is set (written) to the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 in a late-night time zone (for example, from midnight to 6 o'clock in the morning) which is usually outside business hours. It is data in which overtime information indicating that an operation has been performed late at night is defined together with the time at that time. When the setting (writing) to the buffer 262 is performed by the MPU 201, the time at that time is read from the RTC 266 by the CPU 261, and when it is determined that the time is in the late-night time zone, the overtime information is The current time indicated by the RTC 266 is added to the overtime data 263 j.

The second reading memory 264 is configured of a non-volatile memory capable of reading and writing data, for example, a flash memory. The second reading memory 264 only needs to store the stored data even while the power is turned off, and it is also possible to use a ferroelectric memory (FeRAM: Ferroelectric Random Access Memory), a magnetoresistive RAM, or the like other than the flash memory. (MRAM: magnetoresistive random access memory), resistance change memory (ReRAM: resistive random)
(Access Memory) etc. may be comprised. In addition, while the second reading memory 264 is configured by the DRAM, the backup voltage is continuously supplied from the power supply device 115 while the power is cut to the DRAM so that the data is held even while the power is cut. You may do it.

  The second reading memory 264 at least stores character ratio data 264a, continuous character ratio data 264b, number of fired balls data 264c, and game information data 264d.

  The character ratio data 264a is data in which data representing the character ratio calculated at each timing (trigger) of calculating the character ratio is recorded together with the calculated time. The continuous service ratio data 264 b is data in which data representing the continuous service ratio calculated at the same timing (trigger) is recorded together with the calculated time.

  Here, the item ratio is paid out with the winning of the second starting opening 64b and the big winning opening 65a at which the item is operated out of the total number of balls (winning balls) paid out to the player. It shows the ratio of the number of balls (winning balls) and is set to 70% or less. Further, the continuous character ratio is a number of balls paid out in association with the winning of the large winning opening 65a in which the characters are successively operated out of the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out to the player. Shows the ratio of the number of spheres, and is set to 60% or less.

  Essentially, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio refer to the above ratio when the game ball is subjected to a test shot for 10 hours, but here, in the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b Between the time when the power is turned on for the first time after the power is turned on, or between the previous timing and the current timing, at each timing (trigger) at which the feature ratio shown is calculated. The ratio of the number of balls (prize balls) paid out with the winning of the second starting opening 64b and the big winning hole 65a out of the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out is calculated. It is recorded in the feature ratio data 264a along with the time of day. In addition, during the period from when the power is turned on to when the timing is reached for the first time, or among the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out to the player from the previous timing to the current timing, a big prize The ratio of the number of balls (prize balls) paid out with the winning of the mouth 65a is calculated, and is recorded in the continuous character ratio data 264b along with the time at that time.

  In addition, even when the power is turned off, the power charged in the capacitor 267 is used, and it is paid out while it is determined that the power is turned off from the timing (trigger) at which the nearest object ratio is calculated. Based on the number of balls (prize balls), the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated, and are respectively recorded in the character ratio data 264a or the continuous character ratio data 264b along with the time at that time. . As a result, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated and recorded, and thereafter, the character ratio and the continuous character without leaking even for the number of prize balls paid out before the power is turned off. The ratio can be calculated.

  The number of balls winning in the first starting opening 64a indicated by the first reading counter 263a stored in the first reading memory 263 and the number of balls winning in the second starting opening 64b indicated by the opening second counter 263b The number of balls winning in the first ordinary winning opening 63a indicated by the 1 counter 263c, the number of balls winning in the second ordinary winning opening 63b indicated by the second counter 263d, and the large number indicated by the large winning opening counter 263e The number of winning balls corresponding to each winning opening shown in the winning balls number table 202e (see FIG. 9) set in the winning balls number data setting area 265a for each of the winning balls in the winning holes 65a. The number of balls paid out for each winning opening can be calculated. And by totaling these, the total number of balls paid out to the player can be calculated.

  As a result, with respect to the total number of balls paid out to the player, the number of balls paid out with the winning of the second starting opening 64b and the ball paid out with the winning of the big winning opening 65a. By calculating the ratio of the sum to the number of, it is possible to calculate the role ratio. In addition, it is possible to calculate the ratio of consecutive winnings by calculating the ratio of the number of balls paid out with the winning of the large winning opening 65a to the total number of balls paid out to the player.

  The number of fired balls data 264 c is the total number of balls fired to the game area counted by the out counter 263 f of the first reading memory 263 and the time at that timing for each feature ratio calculation (trigger) It is the data recorded together. The total number of balls fired to the game area from when the power is turned on to when the timing is reached for the first time or from the previous timing to the current timing is indicated by the out counter 263 f. When it is time to calculate the feature ratio, the value of the out counter 263 f at that time is recorded in the firing ball number data 264 c together with the time at that time indicated by the RTC 266.

  The game state data 264d is the jackpot data 263g in the first reading memory 263, open data 263h, error data 263i and overtime data 263j stored jackpot information, door open information, error information and overtime information Are data recorded together with the time associated with each piece of information. The jackpot information stored in the jackpot middle data 263g, the open data 263h, the in-error data 263i and the overtime data 263j of the first reading memory 263 when it is time to calculate the feature ratio, the door open information, The in-error information and out-of-time information, and the time associated with each information are recorded by the CPU 261 in the gaming state data 264 d.

  At this time, for example, when the jackpot information is stored in the jackpot middle data 263g at intervals of less than one second, it means that the jackpot is continuously generated as the gaming state, and therefore the jackpot of the oldest time Only the information and its time are recorded in the gaming state data 264 d. Similarly, when information is stored in each data 263h to j at intervals of less than one second in the door open information, the error information and the overtime information, the information on the oldest time and the time Is recorded in the gaming state data 264 d. Thereby, the storage capacity required for the gaming state data 264 d can be reduced.

  When the jackpot information, the door open information, the error information and the overtime information are recorded in the gaming state data 264d, the CPU 261 arranges (sorts) the respective information from the information of the old time to the gaming state data 264d. Record. Then, when outputting the information recorded in the gaming state data 264d to the inspection device 300, the CPU 261 outputs the information in the order of recording. As a result, each information is output in order from the old time, so that the inspection device 300 can easily analyze the change in the gaming state with the passage of time by analyzing the information in the output order.

  However, the CPU 261 does not necessarily have to arrange the pieces of information from the information of the old time and store them in the gaming state data 264 d. In this case, when the information recorded in the gaming state data 264 d is output to the inspection device 300, the CPU 261 may sequentially read information from the gaming state data 264 d from the information of the old time and transmit it to the inspection device 300. Each information may be output to the inspection apparatus 300 in the order of recording, and the inspection apparatus 300 may rearrange the received information from the information of the old time.

  Note that the jackpot information stored in the jackpot data 263g, the opening data 263h, the error data 263i and the overtime data 263j of the first reading memory 263 correspond to the door opening information, the error information and the overtime information, respectively. All may be recorded in the game state data 264 d in combination with the attached time. Although the storage capacity required for the gaming state data 264 d is increased, by outputting this to the inspection device 300, it is possible to analyze the operating state of the pachinko machine 10 while observing the minute changes in the gaming state.

  Here, a predetermined number of pieces of information can be recorded on the character ratio data 264a, the continuous character ratio data 264b and the fired ball number data 264c, respectively, regarding the character ratio, the continuous character ratio and the total number of balls fired to the game area For example, it is limited to 1024). Further, the total number of jackpot information, door open information, error information and overtime information that can be recorded in the gaming state data 264 d is also limited to a predetermined number (for example, 16384). If a predetermined number of information has already been recorded in the character ratio data 264a, the continuous character ratio data 264b, the number of fired balls data 264c or the gaming state data 264d, the oldest information is erased and the latest information is stored there. Is recorded. For example, the character ratio data 264a, the continuous character ratio data 264b, the number of fired balls data 264c, and the game state data 264d are respectively configured as ring buffers, and each manages a position where information is written on the ring buffer. The oldest information is prepared by separately preparing a memory in the second reading memory 264 or in a non-volatile memory provided separately from the second reading memory 264 and shifting the writing position by one each time the information writing is performed. Can be realized and the process of recording the latest information can be realized. As described above, an increase in the storage capacity of the second reading memory 264 can be suppressed by setting an upper limit on the number of information that can be recorded in each data. In addition, when the information to be recorded in each data reaches the upper limit number, the oldest information is erased and the latest information is recorded, and the analysis is performed by the inspection apparatus 300 including the state of the latest pachinko machine 10 It can be done. Incidentally, by preparing a memory for managing the position where the information is to be written on the ring buffer in the second reading memory 264, even after the power is turned off, after the power is supplied, the memory is managed. New information can be added and recorded from the continuation of the information stored up to.

  When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, an interrupt is generated to the CPU 261, and the CPU 261 performs combination ratio data 264a, continuous combination ratio data 264b, and release which are recorded in the second reading memory 264. The ball number data 264 c and the gaming state data 264 d are sequentially transmitted to the inspection device 300. When transmitting each data 264a-d to the inspection apparatus 300, the CPU 261 records each information recorded in each data 264a-d (including recorded time information associated with each information). It reads out in order and transmits to inspection device 300. Since connecting the inspection device 300 to the inspection terminal 207a causes an interrupt and processing of transmitting each information recorded in the second reading memory 264 to the inspection device 300 is performed, the transmission is executed quickly, It can be completed. Therefore, the inspection apparatus 300 analyzes the character ratio and the continuous character ratio from the information received from the pachinko machine 10, and can quickly and easily find out the fraud from the character ratio and the continuous character ratio.

  Specifically, if the data to be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 from now on does not satisfy the upper limit number of recordable information (the above-mentioned predetermined number) determined for each, the CPU 261 first gives information to the data. The information recorded from the position where the data was written to the position shown in the memory that manages the position where the information is written (that is, the position where the information of the latest time is recorded) is sequentially read and inspected Send to device 300. On the other hand, in the data for transmitting information to the inspection apparatus 300, when the upper limit number (the above-mentioned predetermined number) of recordable information determined for each is satisfied, the position for writing the information is indicated by memory The position indicated in the memory that manages the position where the information is to be written by shifting the reading position one by one sequentially from the position next to the selected position (that is, the position where the information of the oldest time is recorded) The information recorded up to the position at which the information of the latest time is recorded is sequentially read and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. As a result, information is output to the inspection apparatus 300 in order from the information of the old time.

  Since the second reading memory 264 is composed of a non-volatile memory, even if the power is turned off halfway, the second reading memory 264 records information on the role ratio etc. in the pachinko machine 10 Keep being done. Therefore, the inspection apparatus 300 can receive and analyze information on the feature ratio and the like including the information before the power is turned off.

  Here, among the fraudsters, the second starting opening 64b can be opened by fraudulently opening the motorized part of the second starting opening 64b or guiding the ball to the second starting opening 64b. There are things that try to increase the chance of winning a jackpot by increasing the number of wins. In addition, there are those that try to obtain many winning balls by opening the opening / closing plate of the big winning opening 65a illegally by some method or guiding the ball to the big winning opening 65a. In the case of such fraud, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio increase.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10, the main controller 110 is provided with the item ratio management chip 207, and in the item ratio management chip 207, winning information for each winning opening is obtained from the MPU 201 of the main controller 110. The character ratio and the continuous character ratio in the pachinko machine 10 are calculated at a predetermined timing and kept recorded. Then, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207 a, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio recorded in the character ratio management chip 207 are output to the inspection device 300. Thus, by analyzing the character ratio and the continuous character ratio in the inspection apparatus 300, if the cheating has been performed, the cheating can be found.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10, information related to the number of balls fired to the game area and information related to the game state are also recorded in the feature ratio management chip 207 and output to the inspection device 300. Therefore, when the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are high by the analysis by the inspection device 300, the cause is searched based on the information on the number of balls fired to the game area and the information on the game state. be able to.

  Further, the item ratio management chip 207 is provided in the main control device 110, and is housed in one substrate box 100 together with the MPU 201, the ROM 202, and the like. As a result, it is difficult for the fraudster to modify the winning information etc. input to the feature ratio management chip 207. Further, it is also difficult to falsify or delete the character ratio and the continuous character ratio recorded by the character ratio management chip 207. Therefore, high reliability can be maintained with respect to the character ratio and the continuous character ratio calculated and output by the character ratio management chip 207.

  In addition, the feature ratio management chip 207 is provided with a first reading memory 263 and a second reading memory 264, and the first reading memory 263 counts the number of balls won for each winning opening, and the first reading memory 263 The feature ratio and the continuous feature ratio are calculated on the basis of the number of balls awarded for each winning opening counted in step b, and are recorded in the second reading memory 264. Here, the second reading memory 264 is composed of a non-volatile memory, but generally a non-volatile memory requires a large amount of power for writing, takes time for writing, and is durable. There is a limit to the number of writes. The present embodiment separates the first reading memory 263 composed of a volatile memory and the second reading memory 264 composed of a non-volatile memory, so that, first, winning is achieved using the first reading memory 263. By performing processing for counting and storing the number of balls won for each mouth at high speed, it is possible to count the balls won for each winning opening without losing them. Then, from the number of balls awarded for each winning opening stored in the first reading memory 263 later, the symbol ratio and the continuous symbol ratio are calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264 at a predetermined timing ( By executing this for each trigger, it is possible to reduce the number of times of writing to the second reading memory 264, so it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems due to the configuration using the nonvolatile memory.

  When the stage is changed, a back side image change command including information on the changed stage is transmitted to display control device 114 in order to display a back side image corresponding to the changed stage on third symbol display device 81. . Here, the back image is an image displayed on the back side of the third symbol, which is a main image to be displayed on the third symbol display device 81.

  When the frame button 22 is operated for the purpose other than the change of the stage, such as changing the effect mode of the super reach, the frame button operation command is transmitted to the display control device 114. The display control device 114 displays an image according to the operation of the frame button 22 on the third symbol display device 81 by receiving the frame button operation command.

  The RAM 223 indicates a command storage area (not shown) for temporarily storing a command received from the main control device 110 until processing corresponding to the command is performed, and indicates that the fluctuation effect should be started in the on state. It has a change start flag (not shown) and the like.

  The command storage area is configured by a ring buffer, and data reading and writing are performed by a FIFO (First In First Out) method. When the command determination process (see FIG. 25) of the voice lamp control device 113 is executed, the command stored first among the unprocessed commands stored in the command storage area is read out, and the command determination process is performed. The command is analyzed and processing according to the command is performed.

  The fluctuation start flag is set to OFF as an initial value when the power is turned on, and is turned on when the stop type command output from the main control device 110 is received (see S1005 in FIG. 25). Then, when setting of the variable display in the third symbol display device 81 is made, it is turned off (see S1102 in FIG. 26).

  The display control device 114 is a device for controlling the screen display of the third symbol display device (LCD) 81, and is an audio lamp for various screen displays such as variation display (variation effect) of the third symbol and jackpot effect at the time of big hit. It controls according to the command transmitted from control device 113 (main control device 110).

The output side of the audio lamp control device 113 is connected to the input side of the input port 237, and the MPU 231, the ROM 232, the work RAM 233, and the image controller 236 are connected to the output side of the input port 237. A video RAM 234 and a character ROM 235 are connected to the image controller 236, and an output port 238 is connected via a bus line 240. The third symbol display device 81 is connected to the output side of the output port 238. In addition, even if the pachinko machine 10 is another model in which the jackpot lottery probability and the number of prize balls to be paid out in one jackpot are different models, the model of the specification with exactly the same symbol configuration displayed on the third symbol display device 81 Since the display control device 114 is a common part, cost reduction is achieved.

  The MPU 231 of the display control device 114 controls the display content of the third symbol display device 81 based on the display variation pattern command and other various commands output from the audio lamp control device 113. The ROM 232 is a memory for storing various control programs executed by the MPU 231 and fixed value data.

It is displayed on the symbol display device 81.

  The power supply unit 115 includes a power supply unit 251 for supplying power to each part of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 252 for monitoring power interruption due to a power failure, and a RAM provided with a RAM erase switch 122 (see FIG. 3). And an erase switch circuit 253. The power supply unit 251 is a device that supplies necessary operating voltages to the control devices 110 to 114 and the like through a power supply path (not shown). As a summary, the power supply unit 251 takes in a voltage of 24 volts AC supplied from the outside, 12 volts voltage for driving various switches such as various switches 208, solenoids such as solenoid 209, motor, etc. A voltage of 5 volts for logic, a backup voltage for RAM backup, and the like are generated, and these 12 volts, 5 volts and a backup voltage are supplied to the respective control devices 110 to 114 and the like.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 252 is a circuit for outputting the power failure signal SG1 to each NMI terminal of the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 and the MPU 211 of the payout control device 111 when the power is shut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 252 monitors the voltage of the stable DC voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 251, and determines that a power failure (power loss, power loss) occurs when this voltage becomes less than 22 volts. Then, the blackout signal SG1 is output to the NMI terminal of the main controller 110 and the payout controller 111. By the output of the power failure signal SG1, the main controller 110 and the payout control device 111 recognize the occurrence of the power failure, and execute the NMI interrupt process.

Is configured to maintain a normal value. Accordingly, the main control unit 110 and the payout control unit 111 can execute and complete the NMI interrupt processing (see FIG. 18) normally.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 253 is a circuit for outputting a RAM erase signal SG2 for clearing the backup data to the main control unit 110 when the RAM erase switch 122 (see FIG. 3) is pressed. The main control unit 110 controls the payout initialization command for clearing the backup data and causing the payout control unit 111 to clear the backup data when the RAM erase signal SG2 is input when the pachinko machine 10 is powered on. Transmit to the device 111.

  Next, each control process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 10 to 17. The processing of the MPU 201 is roughly classified into a start-up process that is started with power on and a main process that is executed after the start-up process, and is started periodically (with a 2 millisecond cycle in this embodiment) There are timer interrupt processing and NMI interrupt processing activated by the input of the power failure signal SG1 to the NMI terminal. Here, for convenience of explanation, the timer interrupt process and the NMI interrupt process will be described first, and then the start-up process and the main process will be described.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing timer interrupt processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main control unit 110. The timer interrupt process is a periodic process that is repeatedly executed, for example, every 2 milliseconds. As the MPU 201 executes this timer interrupt process, various processes to be performed periodically are performed.

  In this timer interrupt process, first, an external output process is executed (S101). In the timer interrupt process and the main process, a command etc. to be sent to the payout control device 111, the audio lamp control device 113, etc. is generated based on various processes, and temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 203. . In the external output process of S101, output data such as a command stored in the command transmission ring buffer is transmitted to each control device (peripheral control device) on the sub side.

  For example, the ball holding ball number command set in the start winning process (see FIG. 12) is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 113. Further, the variation pattern command, the stop type command, the determination command, etc. set in the variation start process (FIG. 14) which is one of the variation process (see FIG. 13) and the variation process are transmitted to the voice lamp control device 113. In addition, a ball emission signal set when emitting a ball in the process of S111 described later is transmitted to the emission control device 112.

  Next, the winning ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 111 are read (S102), and then the big winning opening (large opening) 65a of the variable winning device 65 is opened or closed in the big hit state. A large opening opening / closing process is performed (S103). That is, the big winning opening 65a is opened for each round of the jackpot state, and it is determined whether the maximum opening time of the big winning opening 65a has passed or whether the specified number of balls has won in the big winning opening 65a. Then, when any one of these conditions is established, the special winning opening 65a is closed. The opening and closing of the special winning opening 65a is repeatedly performed for a predetermined number of rounds.

  Next, display control processing of the second symbol (for example, symbol of "o" or "x") by the second symbol display device 83 is executed (S105). Simply stated, on the condition that the ball has passed through gate 67, the value of the second random number counter C4 is obtained at the passing timing, and the variation of the second symbol by the second symbol display device 83 Display is implemented. Then, the second lottery is conducted based on the value of the second random number counter C4, and when the second symbol is hit, the motorized accessory attached to the second starting opening 64b is opened for a predetermined time.

  Next, a switch reading process is performed (S106). That is, the state of the various switches 208 connected to the main control unit 110 is read, and the state of the switches is determined to store detection information (winning detection information). Further, based on the winning detection information, a prize ball command corresponding to the acquired ball number to be transmitted to the payout control device 111 is set in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 203. As a result, the winning ball command is transmitted to the payout control device 111 by the process of S101 of the timer interrupt process to be executed next. The details of the switch reading process (S106) will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are updated (S107). Specifically, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value (899 in the present embodiment). Then, the updated value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is stored in the corresponding counter buffer area of the RAM 203. Similarly, when the second initial value random number counter CINI2 is incremented by 1 and the counter value reaches the maximum value (250 in the present embodiment), it is cleared to 0, and the updated value of the second initial value random number counter CINI2 Are stored in the corresponding counter buffer area of the RAM 203.

  Furthermore, the first random number counter C1, the first collision type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, the variation type counter CS1, and the second random number counter C4 are updated (S108). Specifically, the first random number counter C1, the first collision type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, the variation type counter CS1 and the second random number counter C4 are respectively incremented by 1, and their counter values are maximum values. When ((in the present embodiment, 899, 99, 99, 198, and 250, respectively) are reached, they are cleared to 0, respectively. When the first random number counter C1 or the second random number counter C4 makes one revolution, the value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 or the second initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is used as the first random number counter C1 or The second random number counter C2 is read as the initial value of the second random number counter C2, and the initial value is set to the first random number counter C1 or the second random number counter C2. Then, the updated values of the counters C1 to C4 are stored in the corresponding counter buffer area of the RAM 203.

  Next, a process for performing display by the first symbol display device 37 and a variation process for setting a variation pattern of the third symbol by the third symbol display device 81 are executed (S109), and then, the first starting opening 64a And the starting winning a prize processing with the winning a prize to one starting opening of 2nd starting opening 64b is executed (S110). The details of the fluctuation process will be described later with reference to FIG. 13, and the details of the start winning process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After the start winning process is executed, the launch control process is executed (S111), and other processes to be periodically executed are executed (S112), and the timer interrupt process is ended. The firing control process detects that the player is touching the operation handle 51 by the touch sensor 51a, and firing the ball on condition that the strike stop switch 51b for stopping the firing is not operated. Is a process to determine the on / off of the Then, when the ball firing is on, the information of the ball firing signal is set in the command transmitting ring buffer provided in the work RAM 203 in order to send the ball firing signal to the firing control device 112. As a result, the ball emission signal is transmitted to the emission control device 112 via the payout control device 111 by the processing of S101 of the timer interruption process to be executed next.

  Further, the other process (S112) includes a process of determining whether the pachinko machine 10 is in the error state. For example, although the information of the ball firing signal is set in the process of S111, the ball guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the ball fired to the game area) is detected by the out switch 208f for a predetermined time or more If not, it is determined that there is an error condition because there is a possibility of ball clogging. Further, when the payout abnormality signal is read in the processing of S102, it is determined that the payout of the ball is in the error state. Furthermore, when a large vibration is given to the pachinko machine 10 or when it is determined that the magnet is brought close to the pachinko machine 10, it is determined that the game is in error as there is a possibility that the game is cheating. .

  It should be noted that the judgment as to whether or not the pachinko machine 10 is given a large vibration is provided with a vibration sensing sensor for sensing the vibration in the pachinko machine 10 and the output of the vibration sensing sensor is inputted to the input / output port 205 of the main control device 110 In the process of S112, the output of the vibration sensor is read. In addition, to judge whether the magnet is brought close to the pachinko machine 10, the pachinko machine 10 is provided with a magnetic sensor that senses a change in magnetism, and the output of the magnetic sensor is input to the input / output port 205 of the main controller 110. It is carried out by reading the output of the magnetic sensor in the process of S112.

  If it is determined in the process of S112 that there is an error state, an error command including information on the error type is set in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 203. As a result, an error command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 113 by the process of S101 of the timer interrupt process to be executed next. Then, a warning sound corresponding to the error type can be output from the voice output device 226, and the display lamp 34 can be turned on and blinked, and an image corresponding to the error type can be displayed on the third symbol display device 81. .

  Next, the switch reading process (S106), which is one process of the timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the switch reading process (S106).

  In the switch reading process, first, each switch of the first start opening switch 208a, the second start opening switch 208b, the first ordinary winning opening switch 208c, the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d, the special winning opening switch 208f and the out switch 208g. The output is read by referring to the first port 205a, the second port 205b, the first port 205c, the second port 205d, the special winning port 205e and the out port 205f of the input / output port 205, and the first start port 64a, It is judged whether or not there is a winning to the second starting opening 64b, the first normal winning opening 63a, the second normal winning opening 63b, the large winning opening 65a, and the presence or absence of the ball guided to the ball discharging path, The winning detection information is stored (S151). The determination of one ball and one ball guided to the ball discharge path is performed over three timer interrupt processes based on the outputs of the switches 208a to 208f.

  Next, based on the winning detection information, among the first starting opening 64a, the second starting opening 64b, the first normal winning opening 63a, the second normal winning opening 63b, and the special winning opening 65a, it is determined that a prize has been won by the process of S151. If there is a determined winning opening, it corresponds to the number of winning balls so that the number of winning balls corresponding to the winning opening on which the winning is made (that is, the number defined by the winning number table 202e) is paid out. The award ball command is set in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 203 (S152). As a result, the winning ball command is transmitted to the payout control device 111 by the process of S101 of the timer interrupt process to be executed next.

  Then, based on the winning detection information, among the first starting opening 64a, the second starting opening 64b, the first normal winning opening 63a, the second normal winning opening 63b, and the special winning opening 65a, it is determined that a prize has been won by the process of S151. When there is a determined winning opening, among the start 1 counter 203d, start 2 counter 203e, general 1 counter 203f, general 2 counter 203g, and special winning opening counter 203h, the counter corresponding to the winning opening on which winning is performed is 1 When it is determined that there is a ball guided to the ball discharge path while counting up, the out counter 203i is incremented by 1 (S153).

  Next, it is determined whether or not 0.5 seconds has elapsed since the winning information (information on the values of the counters 203d to i and the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10) has been set to the feature ratio management chip 207 last time S154). As a result, if 0.5 seconds have not elapsed (S154: No), the switch reading process is ended as it is, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that 0.5 seconds have elapsed (S154: Yes), the processing of S155 to S157 is executed. First, in the process of S155, the values of the start 1 counter 203d, the start 2 counter 203e, the counter 1 counter 203f, the counter 2 counter 203g, and the special winning opening counter 203h are winning information, and the value of the out counter 203i is out information. Together with the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 of, is set in the character ratio management chip 207 (S155).

  As a result, the value of the start 1 counter 203 d is set in the start 1 buffer 262 a of the item ratio management chip 207, the value of the start 2 counter 203 e is set in the start 2 buffer 262 b of the object ratio management chip 207, and The value of 203f is set in the general-purpose buffer 262c of the character ratio management chip 207, the value of the general-purpose counter 203g is set in the general-purpose buffer 262d of the character ratio management chip 207, and the value of the special winning opening counter 203h is The value is set in the large winning opening buffer 262 e of the object ratio management chip 207, and the value of the out counter 203 i is set in the out buffer 262 f of the prize ratio management chip 207.

  As described above, counting of the number of balls in the counters 203d to 203i is continuously performed for 0.5 seconds, and when 0.5 seconds elapses, the value of the counters 203d to 203h becomes the winning information, and the value of the out counter 203i. Is set as the out information in the feature ratio management chip 207 together with the information indicating the gaming state at that time. That is, in the pachinko machine 10, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have won in each winning opening at every 0.5 second interval and counts the number of balls that have been guided to the ball discharging path. That is, the number of balls used in the game is counted, and the counted result is set in the accessory ratio management chip 207. Then, as described later, the item ratio management chip 207 accumulates these counted values for each value until it is time to calculate the item ratio, so that it is not possible for the first time after the power is turned on. The number of balls that have won in each winning opening until the timing to calculate the item ratio or until the timing to calculate the next item ratio after the last calculating the item ratio is the winning opening It counts every time, and also counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the number of balls used in the game).

  Temporarily, the MPU 201 does not count the number of balls winning in each winning opening for each winning opening, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharging path (that is, the number of balls used in the game) If it is assumed that only the item ratio management chip 207 performs these counts, even in the item ratio management chip, winnings to each winning opening at short intervals (for example, intervals of 2 milliseconds) or balls guided to the ball discharge path The processing load may increase and power consumption may also increase.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10, these counting results are set in the accessory ratio management chip 207 at intervals of 0.5 seconds according to the counting of the MPU 201. Each winning combination is from the time the power is turned on until the timing at which the feature ratio is calculated for the first time, or from the previous calculation of the feature ratio to the time at which the feature ratio is calculated next The number of balls won in the mouth may be counted for each winning opening, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the number of balls used in the game) may be counted. Therefore, increase in processing load and power consumption in the item ratio management chip 207 can be suppressed.

  On the other hand, the MPU 201 counts, for each winning opening, the number of balls that have won in each winning opening, and counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharging path (that is, the number of balls used in the game) In order to monitor the winnings to each winning opening and the balls guided to the ball discharge path at intervals of 2 milliseconds when the timer interrupt process is executed, these monitorings are primarily a jackpot lottery or It is necessary to perform main control of the game such as award ball determination, and the processing is originally performed at 2 millisecond intervals and short time intervals. Further, in the pachinko machine 10, since the firing interval of the balls fired to the game area by the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 5) is about 0.6 seconds, each winning opening counted in 0.5 second intervals is The number of balls won and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the number of balls used in the game) are in most cases 0 or 1 ball, and at most several balls Therefore, the amount of data required for the counters 203d to 203i provided in the RAM 203 may be small. Therefore, the capacity increase of the RAM 203 can be suppressed by the process of this counting. Therefore, in MPU 201, the number of balls winning in each winning opening in 0.5 seconds is counted for each winning opening, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharging path (ie, balls used in the game) Even if the process of counting the number of

  The game states set by the process of S155 include, for example, a jackpot, an opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, and an error. Whether or not the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is open is determined by the MPU 201 referring to the door open port 205g and confirming the output of the door open switch 208g.

  In addition, whether or not the game state is in error is based on the result of the process of S112 of the timer interrupt process. In the process of S155, when it is determined in the process of S112 that there is an error state, information indicating that the game state is in error is set in the role ratio management chip 207.

  If the game state set by the process of S155 includes a big hit, then the big hit information is stored in the big hit buffer 262g, and if the playing state includes the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, it is opened. If the door open information is stored in the middle buffer 262h and the playing state includes an error, the error middle information is stored in the error buffer 262i. Then, in the item ratio management chip 207, these pieces of information are finally recorded in the game state data 264d of the second reading memory 264. When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the information on the game state is transmitted to the inspection device 300 together with the information on the feature ratio. Therefore, the inspection apparatus 300 searches for the cause by referring to the information indicating the gaming state, when an inexplicable tendency is recognized in the symbol ratio while the symbol ratio of the pachinko machine 10 is analyzed. Can.

  After the process of S155, an interrupt signal is transmitted to the item ratio management chip 207 (S156). The item ratio management chip 207 executes setting information reception processing (see FIG. 19) to be described later based on this interrupt signal, and based on various information set in the buffer 262, a ball is won for each winning opening. The ball number is counted, the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (i.e., the ball shot to the game area) is counted, and the number of these balls is stored in the first reading memory 263 and the pachinko machine Information on ten gaming states is also stored in the first reading memory 263.

  After the process of S156, the start counter 203d corresponding to each winning opening, the start counter 203e, the common counter 203f, the common counter 203g, the special winning port counter 203h, and the out counter 203i corresponding to the out switch 208f are set to 0. Is initialized (S157), the switch reading process is ended, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process. When these counters 203d to 203i are initialized to 0 by the process of S157, the number of balls winning in each winning opening in the next 0.5 seconds is counted again for each winning opening by counters 203d to 203h. Also, the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (ie, the number of balls used in the game) is counted by the out counter 203i.

  In the process of S154, when the main process is executed for the first time after the power is supplied to the main control unit 110, the winning combination information (values of the counters 203d to i and pachinko After setting the information regarding the gaming state of 10), it is regarded that 0.5 seconds have elapsed (S154: Yes), and the process proceeds to S155. Thus, the number of balls that have won a prize in each winning opening detected before the power is turned off, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path, and set in the feature ratio management chip 207 at the time of power off On the condition that the values of the counters 203d to 203i of the RAM 203 which are not stored are held even during the power-off, they can be set to the combination rate management chip 207 immediately after the power is supplied. Therefore, in the item ratio management chip 207, it is possible to suppress the record leak of the winning information and the out information accompanying the power-off.

  Next, the start winning process (S110), which is one process of the timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the start winning process (S110). In the start winning process, it is determined whether or not there is a ball entry (start winning) into any one of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b, and if there is a starting winning, each counter C1 to C3, A process of storing (holding) the value of CS1 in the holding ball storage area 203b is executed. In addition, the value of each of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 to be suspended is combined with the number of balls to be suspended, and processing for transmitting to the voice lamp control device 113 is executed.

  After executing the start winning process, the MPU 201 first determines whether the ball has won in the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b (start winning) (S201). Here, by the process of S151 of the switch reading process (refer to FIG. 11), the first starting opening switch 208a for detecting winning in the first starting opening 64a and the second starting for detecting winning in the second starting opening 64b. The result of the presence or absence of winning on the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b, which is determined based on the output signal from the opening switch 208b, is used.

  If it is determined that the ball has won the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b (there is a starting winning combination) (S201: Yes), the value of the holding ball number counter 203a (held by the main controller 110 It is determined whether or not the number N of holding balls of the fluctuating effect is less than the upper limit (4 in the present embodiment) (S202). Then, whether there is no winning on any of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b (S201: No), or even if there is a winning on the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b. If the number of holding balls N <4 (S202: No), the process returns to the timer interrupt process.

  On the other hand, if there is a winning on the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b (S201: Yes) and the number of holding balls N <4 (S202: Yes), the value of the holding ball number counter 203a (pending The ball number N) is incremented by one (S203). Then, the values of the first random number counter C1, the first collision type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the fluctuation type counter CS1 are read from the counter buffer (see FIG. 7) and provided in the holding sphere storage area 203b of the RAM 203. The first hit random number counter storage area 203b1, the first hit type counter storage area 203b2, and the stop pattern selection counter storage area of the areas corresponding to the value indicated by the hold ball number counter 203a among the held first to fourth areas Each is reserved (stored) in 203 b 3 and the variation type counter storage area 203 b 4 (S 204).

  Specifically, when the value of the holding ball number counter 203a after the addition in the process of S203 is "1", the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are held in the respective storage areas of the first holding area. In addition, if the value of the holding ball number counter 203a after the addition is "2", each storage area of the holding second area is stored, and if the value of the holding ball number counter 203a after addition is "3," the holding third area If the value of the holding ball number counter 203a after the addition is "4" in each of the storage areas, the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are held in the respective storage areas of the holding fourth area.

  Next, the value of the holding ball number counter 203a after addition by the process of S203 (the holding ball number N) and the first per random number counter C1 stored (held) in the holding ball storage area 203b by the process of S204 A ring for command transmission provided with the ball holding ball number command in the RAM 203 to transmit the ball holding ball number command including the values of the type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the fluctuation type counter CS1 to the voice lamp control device 113 It sets to a buffer (S205). As a result, the ball holding ball number command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 113 by the external output process of S101 of the timer interrupt process to be executed next.

  The voice lamp control device 113 instructs the display control device 114 to display the holding ball number symbol corresponding to the holding ball number N in the holding ball number display area Db (see FIG. 4) by receiving the holding ball number command. Do. In addition, the sound lamp control device 113 uses the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 included in the number-of-hold-balls command to pre-read before the variable effect based on the respective values is executed and which change effect is It is judged before the execution of the fluctuation production that it will be like (whether or not it will be a big hit, what will be the fluctuation time, etc.). And based on the judgment result by the pre-reading, execution of various performance can be decided now.

  Note that the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 included in the pending ball number command in the process of S205 may use the values themselves read from the counter buffer in the process of S204, or the pending ball storage area in the process of S204. The value stored (held) in 203b may be read.

  When the process of S205 is completed, the process returns to the timer interrupt process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the variation process (S109) which is one process of the timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing this variation process (S109). The fluctuation process (S109) is to control fluctuation display performed by the first symbol display device 37 and fluctuation effects performed by the third symbol display device 81.

  In this variation processing, first, it is determined whether or not a jackpot is currently occurring (S301). The jackpot includes the middle of a jackpot game displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and the first symbol display device 37 at the time of the jackpot and the middle of a predetermined time after the jackpot game is over. If the result of the determination is that the jackpot is in progress (S301: Yes), the present processing ends.

  If the jackpot is not inside (S301: No), it is determined whether or not the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is changing (S302), and the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is not changing (S302: No) Next, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed after the fluctuation display in the first symbol display device 37 is stopped (S303). As a result, if the predetermined time has not elapsed after the fluctuation stop (S303: No), the present process is ended as it is. As a result, the stop symbol in the fluctuation effect is displayed on the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 only for a predetermined time, so the player can be made to visually recognize the stop symbol.

  On the other hand, as a result of the process of S303, if the predetermined time has passed after the fluctuation stop (S303: Yes), the value of the holding ball number counter 203a (the holding ball number N of the fluctuation display being held in the main control unit 110) Whether or not is larger than 0 is determined (S304). As a result, if the value of the holding ball number counter 203a (holding ball number N) is not 0 (S304: Yes), it is judged that it is the execution start timing of the fluctuation effect, first, the value of the holding ball number counter 203a (pending The ball number N) is decremented by 1 (S305). This is because, in the fluctuation start process (S307), the execution of one of the fluctuation effects among the held fluctuation effects is started, so that the number of holding balls decreases by one.

  Next, the data stored in the holding ball storage area 203b is subjected to shift processing (S306). This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting data stored in the first to fourth reserved areas of the reserved ball storage area 203b toward the reserved ball execution area 203c, ie, the first reserved area → the held sphere execution Data in each area is shifted in such a manner as area 203c, holding second area → holding first area, holding third area → holding second area, holding fourth area → holding third area.

  After the data shift process of S306, the variation start process for the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 is executed based on the values of the various counters stored in the holding ball execution area 203c by the data shift process. (S307) Return to the timer interrupt process. The change start process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the process of S304, when it is determined that the value of the holding ball number counter 203a (the holding ball number N) is 0 (S304: No), a demonstration effect is being performed in the third symbol display device 81 It is determined whether or not it is in the process of demonstration (S308). In this determination process, after the demo command is transmitted to the display control device 114 via the audio lamp control device 113, the value of the value of the holding ball number counter 203a (holding ball number N) is determined to be larger than 0 Determine that the interval is under demonstration.

  When it is determined that the demo is not underway (S308: No), a demo command to be transmitted to the voice lamp control device 113 is set (S309), and the process returns to the timer interrupt process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the demo is being performed (S309: Yes), the process returns to the timer interrupt process as it is. The demonstration command set in the process of S309 is stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 203, and voice is generated in the external output process (S101 of FIG. 14) of the timer interrupt process to be executed next. It is transmitted to the lamp control device 113. When the voice lamp control device 113 receives the demonstration command, the voice lamp control device 113 instructs the display control device 114 to display the demonstration effect on the third symbol display device 81.

  Here, as described above, the demonstration command is set when there is no holding ball when a predetermined time has elapsed after the change stop. Therefore, after the fluctuation stop, if the fluctuation display is not started even if a predetermined time has elapsed, a demonstration effect is displayed on the third symbol display device 81.

  If it is determined that the demo is not in progress in the process of S308 (S308: No), it is further determined whether or not a second predetermined time longer than the predetermined time has elapsed after the fluctuation is stopped. The process may be executed, and the process of S309 may be executed to set the demo command when the second predetermined time has elapsed after the change stop. As a result, when there is no holding ball after stopping the change, it is possible to show the player the stop symbol of the stopped change effect for a relatively long time without starting the demonstration effect immediately.

  If it is determined in the process of S302 that the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is changing (S302: Yes), it is determined whether a changing time has elapsed (S310). The display time during fluctuation of the first symbol display device 37 is determined according to the fluctuation pattern selected by the fluctuation type counter CS1 (determined according to the fluctuation pattern command), and this fluctuation time has elapsed If not (S310: No), the display of the first symbol display device 37 is updated (S311), and the process returns to the timer interrupt process.

  In this embodiment, of the LEDs 37a of the first symbol display device 37, for example, if the currently lit LED is red, the red LED is turned off until the fluctuation time elapses from when the fluctuation is started. Simultaneously turn on the green LED, and if the green LED is on, turn off the green LED and turn on the blue LED; if the blue LED is on, turn off the blue LED At the same time, a display mode for lighting the red LED is set.

  The variation process is executed every two milliseconds, but if the illumination color of the LED is changed each time the variation process is executed, the player can not confirm the change of the illumination color of the LED. Therefore, the counter (not shown) is incremented by one each time the fluctuation processing is executed so that the player can check the change in the lighting color of the LED, and the LED reaches 200 when the counter reaches 200. Change the lighting color of. That is, the lighting color of the LED is changed every 0.4 seconds. The value of the counter is reset to 0 when the lighting color of the LED is changed.

  On the other hand, if the fluctuation time of the first symbol display device 37 has elapsed (S310: Yes), a display mode corresponding to the stop symbol is set to the first symbol display device 37 (S312). The stop symbol is preset by the variation start process (S307) described later with reference to FIG. In the variation start process, whether or not a big hit is determined according to the value of the first random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball execution area 203c by the process of S306, and if it is a big hit, the first hit type counter C2 Depending on the value of, the pattern will be 15R probability variation big hit after big hit (probability variation big hit to transition to high probability state after 15 round maximum number of rounds) or 2R probability variation big hit (maximum round number is high probability after 2 round big hit) It is determined whether the symbol to be the transitioning probability variation jackpot) or the symbol to be the 15R normal jackpot (the maximum round number is a jackpot transitioning to a low probability state after 15 round jackpots).

  In this embodiment, the blue LED is turned on when the jackpot becomes a 15R probability variation jackpot after the big hit, the red LED is turned on when the 2R probability variation jackpot is reached, and the red LED and the blue LED when the 15R normal jackpot is hit Turn on the LED. In addition, when it is out, the red LED and the green LED are turned on. Note that each LED is released from lighting when the next fluctuation display is started, but may be turned on only for several seconds after the fluctuation is stopped.

  When the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 corresponding to the stop symbol is set in the process of S312, the stop symbol of the fluctuation effect in the third symbol display device 81 is synchronized with the lighting of the LED in the first symbol display device 37 Then, in order to display the confirmation, the confirmation command is set (S313), and the process returns to the timer interrupt processing. When the voice lamp control device 113 receives this confirmation command, it instructs the display control device 114 to stop the variation display of the third symbol in the third symbol display device 81 and to display the stop symbol. Do.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14, a variation start process (S307) which is one process of the variation process performed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the change start process (S307). In this variation start process (S307), based on the values of various counters stored in the execution area of the holding ball storage area, a lottery for "big hit" or "out of place" (big hit lottery) is performed and the first symbol display device 37 And the effect pattern (the fluctuation pattern) etc of the fluctuation production which is done with the 3rd design indicator 81 is decided.

  In the fluctuation start process, first, a big hit is determined based on the value of the first random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball execution area 203c and the big hit random number table 202a (see FIG. 8A). A lottery (pass / fail judgment) process is performed (S401).

  Whether or not the jackpot is determined is determined based on the relationship between the value of the first random number counter C1 and the mode at each time. As described above, in the jackpot random number table 202a, when the gaming state (mode) that the pachinko machine 10 can take is in the normal low probability state, "7, 307, 582" is defined as the jackpot random number value. In addition, when the gaming state (mode) which the pachinko machine 10 can obtain is in a high probability state, “28, 58, 85, 122, 122, 144, 178, 213, 238, 276, 298, 322, 354, 390, 420 , 448, 486, 506, 534, 567, 596, 618, 681, 716, 750, 772, 809, 836, 866, 892 "are defined as jackpot random number values.

  In the process of S401, the value of the first random number counter C1 stored in the execution area of the holding ball storage area is compared with the big hit random number value defined in the big hit random number table 202a, and they match In the case, it is determined that the jackpot. As a result of the process of S401, when it is determined that it is a big hit (S401: Yes), the value of the first hit type counter C2 stored in the holding ball execution area 203c, and the big hit type table 202b (FIG. 8 (b) The display mode at the time of jackpot is set based on (refer to) and (S402).

  In this process, the jackpot type associated with the value of the first hit type counter C2 stored in the holding ball execution area 203c by the jackpot type table 202b, that is, the high probability state after the maximum round number is 15 rounds of jackpot 15R probability variation jackpot to transition to 15R, maximum round number transition to low probability state after 15 round jackpot, or 2R probability variation jackpot to shift maximum number of rounds to high probability state after 2 round jackpot, or It is determined. And the display mode (lighting state of LED37a) at the time of the big hit in the 1st symbol display device 37 is set based on the judged big hit type.

  In addition, in the third symbol display device 81, in order to stop and display various jackpot symbols corresponding to the jackpot type, by setting the jackpot type (15R probability variation jackpot, 2R probability variation jackpot, 15R normal jackpot) directly as the stop type 3 The display mode at the time of a big hit in the symbol display device 81 is set.

  Next, a fluctuation pattern at the time of big hit is determined (S403), and the process proceeds to the process of S406. Specifically, in the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81, the fluctuation time until the stop display in the display mode at the time of the big hit is determined. In the determination of the variation pattern at the time of big hit, first, the variation pattern table 202d1 for big hit to be used (refer to FIG. 8 (c)) is selected according to the number of pending balls indicated by the pending ball number counter 203a. Then, when 15R probability variation jackpot or 15R normal jackpot is set as the jackpot type in the processing of S402, it is stored in the holding ball execution area 203c in the “15R jackpot common” group of the selected jackpot variation pattern table 202d1 The variation pattern associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1 is selected. That is, in this case, any one of the fluctuation A, the fluctuation B, and the fluctuation C is selected.

  In addition, when 2R probability variation jackpot is set as the jackpot type in the process of S402, the variation type stored in the holding ball execution area 203c in the “2R probability variation jackpot dedicated” group of the selected jackpot variation pattern table 202d1 The variation pattern associated with the value of the counter CS1 is selected. In this embodiment, only the 2R variation is selected in this case. The relationship between the fluctuation pattern (fluctuation A, fluctuation B, fluctuation C, 2R fluctuation) and fluctuation time is previously defined by a table or the like.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the jackpot is not the big hit in the process of S401 (S401: No), the display mode at the time of disconnection is set (S404). In the process of S404, the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is removed and set to the display mode corresponding to the symbol, and based on the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the holding ball execution area 203c, the third As the stop type to be displayed in the symbol display device 81, any one of the front and rear end reach, the reach other than the front and rear end, and the complete end is set. In the present embodiment, as described above, the value range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to each stop type is in accordance with whether the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 is in the high probability state or the low probability state. The table is set to be different.

  Next, a fluctuation pattern at the time of out of step is determined (S405), and the process proceeds to the process of S406. Specifically, in the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81, the fluctuation time until the stop display is performed with the dislocated symbol is determined. At this time, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 is in the low probability state at the normal time except for the short time state, a variation pattern table for separation (normal) corresponding to the number of holding balls indicated by the holding ball number counter 203a. 202d2 (see FIG. 8D) is selected. Further, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 is in a short time state or in a high probability state at the time of probability change, the variation pattern table 202d3 for deviation (probability change) corresponding to the number of holding balls at that time indicated by the holding ball number counter 203a FIG. 8 (e) is selected.

  Then, when complete removal is set as the stop type in the process of S404, in the “complete removal only” group of the selected variation pattern table 202d2 for variation (normal) or the variation pattern table 202d3 for variation (positive variation) The variation pattern associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the sphere execution area 203c is selected. That is, in this case, the variation D or the variation E is selected.

  In addition, when reach other than back and forth reach and reach other than back and forth are set as the stop type in the processing of S402, “reach common” of the selected out-of-order (normal) change pattern table 202d2 or out-of-range (probability change) change pattern table 202d3 In the group, the variation pattern associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the holding ball execution area 203c is selected. That is, in this case, the fluctuation A, the fluctuation B, and the fluctuation C are selected. Then, the fluctuation time is set based on the relation between the fluctuation pattern and the fluctuation time which is previously defined by a table or the like.

  In the process of S406, based on the fluctuation pattern determined by the processes of S403 and S405, a fluctuation pattern command for notifying the display control apparatus 114 of the fluctuation pattern is set via the audio lamp control apparatus 113 (S406). Further, a stop type command for notifying the display control device 114 of the stop type set in the process of S402 or S404 via the audio lamp control device 113 is set (S415), and the process returns to the variation process. The fluctuation pattern command and the stop type command are stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 203, and in the process of S101 of the timer interrupt process (FIG. 14) to be executed next, these commands are voiced. It is transmitted to the lamp control device 113. When the voice lamp control device 113 receives the variation pattern command and the stop type command, the voice lamp control device 113 generates a display variation pattern command and a display type command based on the command, and transmits the same to the display control device 114.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an NMI interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110. The NMI interrupt process is a process executed by the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. By this NMI interrupt processing, the occurrence information of the power-off is stored in the RAM 203. That is, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off due to the occurrence of a blackout or the like, the blackout signal SG1 is output from the blackout monitoring circuit 252 to the NMI terminal of the MPU 201 in the main control unit 110. Then, the MPU 201 interrupts the control under execution and starts the NMI interrupt processing, stores the power-off occurrence information in the RAM 203 as the setting of the power-off occurrence information (S501), and ends the NMI interrupt processing Do.

  The NMI interrupt process described above is also executed by the payout control device 111 in the same manner, and the NMI interrupt process causes the RAM 213 to store power-off occurrence information in the RAM 213. That is, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off due to the occurrence of a blackout etc., the blackout signal SG1 is outputted from the blackout monitoring circuit 252 to the NMI terminal of the MPU 211 in the payout control device 111, and the MPU 211 interrupts the control under execution. Start the NMI interrupt processing.

  Next, referring to FIG. 16, the start-up process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 when the main control apparatus 110 is powered on will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing this start-up process. This start-up process is started by the reset upon power-on. In the start-up process, first, an initial setting process associated with power on is executed (S601). For example, a predetermined value determined in advance is set in the stack pointer. Subsequently, in order to wait for the control device on the sub side (peripheral control devices such as the audio lamp control device 113 and the payout control device 111) to become operable, a weight process (one second in this embodiment) is executed. (S602). Then, access to the RAM 203 is permitted (S603).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 (see FIG. 3) provided in the power supply 115 is turned on (S604), and if it is turned on (S604: Yes), the process proceeds to S614. On the other hand, if the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on (S604: No), it is further determined whether or not the occurrence information of power-off is stored in the RAM 203 (S605). If not stored (S605: No) Since there is a possibility that the process at the time of the previous power-off did not end normally, the process proceeds to S614 also in this case.

  If the occurrence information of the power failure is stored in the RAM 203 (S605: Yes), the RAM determination value is calculated (S606), and if the calculated RAM determination value is not normal (S607: No), that is, the calculated RAM If the determination value does not match the RAM determination value stored at the time of power-off, the backed up data is destroyed, so the process also proceeds to S614.

  As described later in the process of S706 in FIG. 17, the RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value at the work area address of the RAM 203. Instead of the RAM determination value, the validity of the backup may be determined based on whether or not the keyword written in the predetermined area of the RAM 203 is correctly stored.

  In the process of S614, a payout initialization command is transmitted to initialize the payout control device 111 to be the sub-side control device (peripheral control device) (S614). When receiving the payout initialization command, the payout control device 111 clears an area (work area) other than the stack area of the RAM 203, sets an initial value, and can start the payout control of the gaming ball. After transmitting the payout initialization command, main controller 110 executes initialization processing (S615, S616) of RAM 203.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the power is turned on while pressing the RAM erase switch 122 when initializing the RAM data at the time of power on, for example, at the time of opening of a hall. Therefore, if the RAM erase switch 122 is pressed when the start-up process is executed, the RAM initialization process (S615, S616) is executed. In addition, the initialization process (S 615, S 616) of the RAM 203 is also executed similarly when the power-off occurrence information is not set or when the backup abnormality is confirmed by the RAM determination value (checksum value etc.). . In the initialization process of the RAM (S615, S616), the use area of the RAM 203 is cleared to 0 (S615), and then an initial value is set in the RAM 203 (S616). After execution of the initialization process of the RAM 203, the process proceeds to the process of S610.

  On the other hand, if the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on (S604: No), the occurrence information of the power-off is stored (S605: Yes), and the RAM determination value (checksum value etc.) is normal ( S607: Yes), while holding the backed up data in the RAM 203, clear the power-off occurrence information (S608). Then, a payout recovery command at the time of power recovery for transmitting the control device (peripheral control device) on the sub side back to the gaming state at the time of the driving power shutoff is transmitted (S609), and the process proceeds to S610. When the payout control device 111 receives this payout recovery command, it holds the data stored in the RAM 213, and can start the payout control of the gaming balls.

  In the process of S610, an initialization signal is transmitted to the role ratio management chip 207 (S610). Thus, the item ratio management chip 207 receives the initialization signal, and executes initialization processing such as initializing all of the buffer 262 and the first reading memory 263 to 0 (S711 in FIG. 18). The role ratio management chip 207 is initialized to be able to manage the role ratio.

  Next, the information of the winning balls number table 202e is transmitted to the prize ratio management chip 207 (S611). As a result, in the prize ratio management chip 207, the award ball number table 202e is set in the award ball number data setting area 265a, and each prize in the case where there is a prize in each winning opening indicated by the award ball number table 202e. Based on the number of balls, an item ratio and a continuous item ratio of the pachinko machine 10 are calculated.

  Here, the number of winning balls when each winning opening is won is determined by the model of the pachinko machine, and the information is stored in the ROM 202 conventionally. The information on the number of winning balls is sent to the prize ratio management chip 207 each time the power is supplied, and the winning balls number table 202 e stored in the ROM 202 is sent to the prize ratio data setting area of the prize ratio management chip 207. By setting 265 a, it is not necessary to store information on the number of winning balls different for each model in the ROM of the bonus ratio management chip 207 at the manufacturing stage. Therefore, the manufacturing of the property ratio management chip 207 can be simplified. Further, when the model of the pachinko machine is different, it is sufficient to change the ROM 202, and even if pachinko machines of different models use the same item ratio management chip 207, the combination ratio can be accurately calculated.

  Next, the information of the trigger information data 202f is transmitted to the role ratio management chip 207 (S612). As a result, the trigger information data 202f is set in the trigger setting area 265b in the item ratio management chip 207, and when it becomes the timing (trigger) to calculate the item ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f, the pachinko machine 10 Item ratio and continuous item ratio are calculated.

  Here, since the timing (trigger) of the calculation of the item ratio is physically limited to the storage capacity which can record the information on the item ratio in the item ratio management chip 207, the item ratio management chip 207 It is preferable not to fix the timing but to consider the jackpot probability and the probability change ratio in the pachinko machine 10 or the like. As in the case of the pachinko machine 10, the trigger information data 202f defining the timing of calculation of the part ratio determined in consideration of the jackpot probability and the probability change ratio in the pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 202 and supplied with power. Every time the trigger information data 202f is sent to the role ratio management chip 207 to the ROM 202, the feature ratio management chip 207 makes it possible to use the feature at a timing that matches the jackpot probability or the probability change ratio in the pachinko machine 10. The ratio and the continuous character ratio can be calculated and stored in the second reading memory 264.

  After the process of S612, the interrupt is permitted (S613). And, it shifts to the main processing which it mentions later.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the main process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 after the above-described start-up process will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing this main processing. In this main process, the process of updating the counter and the process at power-off are roughly divided.

  In the main processing, it is determined whether or not occurrence information of power failure is stored in the RAM 203 (S701). If the power failure occurrence information is not stored in the RAM 203 (S701: No), the power failure monitoring circuit 252 does not output the power failure signal SG1 and the power is not shut off. Therefore, in such a case, the update of the first initial value random number counter CINI1, the second initial value random number counter CINI2, and the variation type counter CS1 is repeatedly executed (S702, S703).

  First, update of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 is executed (S702). Specifically, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are incremented by one, and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value (899, 250 in the present embodiment). . Then, the updated values of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are stored in the corresponding counter buffer areas of the RAM 203, respectively. Next, the variation type counter CS1 is updated by the same method as the process of S108 (see FIG. 10) (S703), and the process proceeds to S701.

  Here, while this main processing is being performed, the timer interrupt processing described with reference to FIG. 10 is started and executed at predetermined time intervals (2 milliseconds in this embodiment). In the timer interrupt process, different processes are executed according to the state of the game. For example, during the big hit, execution to control the opening and closing of the big winning opening 65a is performed, and if there is passage of the ball to the through gate 67, display control of the second symbol by the second symbol display device 83 is performed. In the jackpot lottery performed when variable display on the first symbol display device 37 is started, the number of jackpot random number values to be compared with the acquired first random number counter C1 depending on whether the high probability state or the low probability state Will be different. Therefore, the time taken to execute one timer interrupt process changes according to the state of the game. Therefore, the remaining time from the end of one timer interrupt process to the execution timing of the next timer interrupt process is not constant, and changes according to the state of the occasional game.

  The above-described processes of S702 and S703, which are one process of the main process, are executed during the remaining time of the timer interrupt process. That is, since the update of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 is repeatedly executed using the remaining time, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number The counter CINI2 (that is, the initial value of the first random number counter C1 and the initial value of the second random number counter C4) can be randomly updated, and the variation type counter CS1 can also be updated randomly. . In particular, by updating the first initial random number counter CINI1 and the second initial random number counter CINI2 at random, the first random number counter C1 and the second random number counter C2 are updated using these as initial values of the update. Can have randomness.

  In the process of S701, if the power-off occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S701: Yes), the power is shut off due to the occurrence of the power failure or the power-off, and the power failure monitoring circuit 252 outputs the power failure signal SG1. Since the NMI interrupt process of FIG. 15 is executed, the process at the time of the power-off after S704 is executed. First, the occurrence of each interrupt processing is prohibited (S704), and a power-off command indicating that the power is shut off is sent to another control device (peripheral control devices such as the payout control device 111 and the audio lamp control device 113). And transmits the power-off information to the role ratio management chip 207 (S705). Then, the RAM determination value is calculated, the value is stored (S706), the access to the RAM 203 is inhibited (S707), and the infinite loop is continued until the power is completely shut off and the processing can not be performed. Here, the RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value in a stack area and a work area backed up in the RAM 203.

  The process of S701 is executed at the end of one cycle of the processes of S702 and S703, which is performed within the remaining time of the timer interrupt process. As a result, in the main processing of main controller 110, various settings by timer interrupt processing are finished, and the occurrence of power-off is confirmed at the timing when the updating of each counter CINI1, CINI2, CS1 is finished. . Therefore, when returning from the power-off state, the process can be started from the process of S701 after the start-up process ends. That is, as in the case of being initialized in the start-up process, the process can be started from the process of S701.

  Therefore, in the process at the time of power shutdown, even if the contents of each register used by the MPU 201 are saved to the stack area or the value of the stack pointer is not saved, the stack pointer By setting to a predetermined value (initial value), it is possible to start from the process of S701. As a result, the control load on the main control device 110 can be reduced, and accurate control can be performed without the main control device 110 malfunctioning or runaway.

  In the present embodiment, the processing to be executed periodically is executed by timer interrupt processing, and in the main processing, updating of each counter CINI1, CINI2, and CS1 is executed during the remaining time of the timer interrupt processing. A part or all of the process being executed in the timer interrupt process may be configured to be executed every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) in the main process. For example, the prize ball counting signal and payout abnormal signal reading process (S102) executed in the timer interrupt process in the present embodiment, the large opening opening and closing process (S103), the second symbol control process (S105), and the switch reading A part or all of the process (S106) may be configured to be executed every 2 milliseconds in the main process instead of the timer interrupt process.

  In this case, a step of determining whether or not a predetermined time (2 milliseconds) has elapsed in the main processing is provided, and only when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the processing to be executed every predetermined time is executed. The updating of the counters CINI1, CINI2 and CS1 may be performed regardless of the presence or absence of a predetermined time. As a result, although updating of the counters CINI1, CINI2, and CS1 is performed during the remaining time of the process to be performed every predetermined time, the process to be performed every predetermined time is performed according to the state of the game Since the time taken to change varies, each counter CINI1, CINI2, CS1 can be updated at random even with this configuration.

  Next, each control process executed by the CPU 261 in the accessory ratio management chip 207 will be described with reference to FIGS. The processing of the CPU 261 is roughly divided into an accessory ratio management main processing activated upon power-on, and winning information and the like set by the MPU 201, and setting information reception executed based on an interrupt signal received from the MPU 201 thereafter. There are processing and inspection result output processing executed based on the inspection device 300 connected to the inspection terminal 207a.

  First, with reference to FIG. 18, the bonus ratio management main processing executed by the CPU 261 in the bonus ratio management chip 207 will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the accessory ratio management main processing. The accessory ratio management main process is activated when the accessory ratio management chip 207 is supplied with power.

  When the role ratio management main process is executed, it is first determined whether an initialization signal has been received from the MPU 201 (S710). While it is determined that the initialization signal is not received (S710: No), the determination of S710 is continuously performed. When it is determined that the initialization signal has been received (S710: Yes), the process proceeds to S711, and initialization is performed (S711). As a result, in the item ratio management chip 207, at least initialization of the RAM 203 in the MPU 201 is completed, and initialization of the item ratio management chip 207 is executed after waiting for the MPU 201 to be able to start control of the game. It will be done.

  In the initial setting of S711, in order to start the operation of the item ratio management chip 207, initialization necessary for each device in the item ratio management chip 207 is executed. For example, the buffer 262 and the first reading memory 263 are all initialized to zero. Thereby, even if there is a buffer not set by the MPU 201 in each of the buffers 262a to 262i in the buffer 262, it is possible to suppress that meaningless data remains in the buffer, and the meaningless data is the first reading It can be prevented from being stored in the memory 263. Also, in the first reading memory 263, the number of balls that have won in each winning opening and the ball discharge path are notified before the timing of calculating the character ratio after power is supplied to the character ratio management chip 207. The accumulated number of balls (ie, the number of balls fired to the game area) can be accumulated and counted, and information on the game state during that time can be stored.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the information of the winning balls number table 202e is received from the MPU 201 (S712). And while it has not received (S712: No), processing of S712 is continued and performed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the game has been received (S712: Yes), the received number-of-balls table 202e is set in the number-of-balls data setting area 265a (S713). As a result, in the prize ratio management chip 207, the award ball number table 202e is set in the award ball number data setting area 265a, and each prize in the case where there is a prize in each winning opening indicated by the award ball number table 202e. Based on the number of balls, an item ratio and a continuous item ratio of the pachinko machine 10 are calculated.

  Next, it is determined whether the information of the trigger information data 202f is received from the MPU 201 (S714). And while it has not received (S714: No), processing of S714 is continued and performed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the trigger information has been received (S714: Yes), the received trigger information data 202f is set in the trigger setting area 265b. As a result, when it becomes the timing (trigger) to calculate the accessory ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b in the accessory ratio management chip 207, the bonus ratio of the pachinko machine 10 and The continuous character ratio is calculated.

  Thus, only the winning balls number table 202e and the trigger information data 202f transmitted in the start-up process (so-called boot process) executed by the MPU 201 when the main control device 110 is powered on are the winning balls. The number data setting area 265a and the trigger setting area 265b are configured to be set. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fraudulent player from setting the lie number ball table and the trigger information data for the number ball data setting area 265a and the trigger setting area 265b.

  Next, when the processing of S710 to S715 ends, the interrupt permission is set (S716). As a result, after that, when the interrupt signal transmitted after the winning information and the like are set from the MPU 201 is received, the setting information receiving process is executed, and the occurrence occurs based on the inspection device 300 being connected to the inspection terminal 207a. The inspection result output process is executed by the interrupt signal.

  When the interrupt signal is simultaneously input, the setting information reception process is executed prior to the inspection result output process. Thus, after the latest prize information, out information and information on the gaming state input from the MPU 201 are accumulated and stored in the item ratio management chip 207, information such as the item ratio is transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. Since it can do, analysis in inspection device 300 can be performed including the latest information. On the other hand, when the interrupt signal is input simultaneously, the inspection result output process may be executed prior to the inspection device output process. In this case, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, information on the property ratio can be transmitted to the inspection device 300.

  Next, it is judged whether or not the power-off information has been received from the MPU 201 (S717), and S717 is continuously executed unless the power-off information is received (S717: No). Also, during that time, when the CPU 261 receives an interrupt signal from the MPU 201, the setting information reception process is executed prior to the process of S717, and a split occurs based on the inspection device 300 being connected to the inspection terminal 207a. When the embedded signal is received, the inspection result output process is executed.

  As a result of the process of S717, when the power-off information is received (S717: Yes), the power to the main controller 110 (the item ratio management chip 207) is cut off due to a power failure or the like. Therefore, the feature ratio calculation process is executed (S718), and the infinite loop is continued until the power is completely shut off and the process can not be executed. Details of the role ratio calculation process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, the setting information receiving process executed by the CPU 261 in the character ratio managing chip 207 will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the setting information reception process. The setting information receiving process is executed based on the interrupt signal received from the MPU 201 after the winning information and the like are set by the MPU 201.

  In the setting information reception process, winning information (each value of start 1 counter 203 d, start 2 counter 203 e, general 1 counter 203 f, general 2 counter 203 g, special winning opening counter 203 h) set in each buffer 262 a to 262 e by the MPU 201 and This is processing for storing the out information (the value of the out counter 203i) set in the out buffer 262f and the gaming state set in each of the buffers 262g to 262i in the first reading memory 263. In addition, when it is the calculation timing of character ratio, the character ratio and continuous character ratio is calculated on the basis of each counter 263a-263e stored in the first reading memory 263, data on the number of balls fired and gaming state At the same time, processing for recording in the second reading memory 264 is also performed.

  First, FIG. 19 will be referred to. In the setting information reception process, first, it is determined whether or not there is door open information in the open buffer 262h (S720). If there is door opening information in the opening buffer 262h (S720: Yes), the door opening information is set (added and stored) in the opening data 263h together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 (S720) S721).

  If it is determined by the process of S720 that there is no door releasing information in the opening buffer 262h (S720: No), and then, after the process of S721, whether there is information in error in the error buffer 262i. (S722). If the error in-error information exists in the in-error buffer 262i (S722: Yes), the in-error information is set (added and stored) in the in-error data 263i together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 (S723) .

  If it is determined by the process of S722 that there is no information in error in the buffer during error 262i (S722: No), and after the process of S723, then the current time indicated by the RTC 266 is a midnight time zone (midnight time 0) It is judged whether it is in the period from 6 o'clock to 6 o'clock) (S724). Usually, since the late-night time zone is outside business hours, an interrupt signal is sent from the MPU 201 during this late-night time zone, and that this setting information reception process is executed means that some fraudulent activity occurs during the late-night time zone. It is also considered as being. Therefore, if it is determined by the process of S 724 that it is in the late-night time zone (S 724: Yes), the over-time information is shown in the over-time data 264 j by the RTC 266 to keep a record of that. The setting (addition and storage) is performed together with the time (S725).

  If it is determined that the late-night time zone is not reached by the process of S724 (S724: No), and after the process of S725, it is then determined whether or not there is jackpot information in the jackpot buffer 262g (S726). When there is the jackpot information in the jackpot middle buffer 262 g (S 726: Yes), the jackpot information is set (added and stored) in the jackpot middle data 263 g together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 (S 727).

  When it is determined by the process of S 726 that there is no big hit information in the big hit / medium buffer 262 g (S 726: No), and after the process of S 727, it is set in the buffers 262 a to 262 f corresponding to each winning opening and the out switch 208 f. Are added to the corresponding counters 263a to 263f of the first reading memory 263 (S728).

  Specifically, the value set in the start buffer 262a corresponding to the first start opening 64a (that is, the number of balls having won the first start opening 64a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the start counter 263a. As a result, the number of balls awarded to the first starting opening 64a is accumulated in the first counter 263a. The value set in the start 2 buffer 262b corresponding to the second start port 64b (that is, the number of balls winning the second start port 64b for 0.5 seconds) is added to the start counter 263b. As a result, the number of balls awarded to the second starting opening 64b is accumulated in the first two counters 263b.

  A value (that is, the number of balls having won the first ordinary winning opening 63a for 0.5 seconds) set in the first ordinary winning opening 63a is added to the first counter 263a. As a result, the number of balls awarded to the first ordinary winning opening 63a is accumulated in the counter 1 263a. The value set in the common 2 buffer 262b corresponding to the second normal winning opening 63b (that is, the number of balls having won the second normal winning opening 63b for 0.5 seconds) is added to the common counter 263b. As a result, the number of balls awarded to the second ordinary winning opening 63b is accumulated in the second counter 263b. The value set in the special winning opening buffer 262e corresponding to the special winning opening 65a (that is, the number of balls winning in the special winning opening 65a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the special winning opening counter 263e. As a result, the number of balls winning to the special winning opening 65a is accumulated in the special winning opening counter 263e.

  The counters 263a to 264f and the data 263g to 264j of the first reading memory 263 are an initialization process (refer to FIG. 18) executed when power is supplied to the character ratio management chip 207, and the character ratio. It is initialized to 0 in S744 (see FIG. 21) described later that is executed when the timing for calculation comes. Thus, the information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is temporarily stored again in the first reading memory 263 until it is time to calculate the feature ratio next time. .

  Subsequently, the setting information winning process will be described with reference to FIG. After the process of S728, the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is referred to (S729). Then, when the trigger (timing) for calculating the character item ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f is the "number of shots" (S729: "number of shots"), the value of the out counter 263f (ie, the game It is determined whether or not the number of spheres fired to the area is equal to or more than the “predetermined number of spheres” (set value) included in the trigger information data 202 f (S 730). If the value of the out counter 263f is equal to or more than the "predetermined number of balls" (S730: Yes), it is determined that it is the timing to calculate the role ratio and the role ratio calculation process is executed (S733) , Shift to S734. The details of the role ratio calculating process will be described later with reference to FIG. On the other hand, when the value of the out counter 263 f is not equal to or more than the “predetermined number of balls” (S 730: No), the process directly proceeds to the process of S 734.

  By defining the trigger (timing) for calculating the accessory ratio by the number of fired balls, it is possible to calculate the accessory ratio and the continuous symbol ratio in the event that a predetermined ball is fired. Therefore, since many balls have won prizes in various winning openings and can calculate the character ratio and the continuous character ratio at the stage when the winning balls are made, the average character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated. it can. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the fluctuation of the character ratio and the continuous character ratio in a short time in a normal game, so that it is possible to more easily analyze the fraud in the inspection device 300.

  In the process of S729, when the trigger (timing) for calculating the character object ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f is "time" (S729: "time"), the current time indicated by the RTC 266 is It is determined whether the "predetermined time" (set value) included in the trigger information data 202f is reached (S731). Here, reaching means not only the case where the current time indicated by the RTC 266 matches the "predetermined time" but also the case where the "predetermined time" is passed for the first time.

  If it is determined that the current time indicated by the RTC 266 has reached the "predetermined time" by the process of S731 (S731: Yes), it is determined that it is time to calculate the role ratio. Then, the role ratio calculation process is executed (S733), and the process proceeds to S734. On the other hand, when the current time indicated by the RTC 266 has not reached the “predetermined time” (S731: No), the process proceeds to the process of S734.

  By defining the trigger (timing) for calculating the bonus ratio by the current time, the bonus ratio can be reliably determined by the arrival of a predetermined time even under a situation where little game is played in the pachinko machine 10 And the continuous character ratio can be calculated. Therefore, it is possible to make the inspection device 300 analyze the presence or absence of the fraudulent action surely by the combination ratio of the combination and the combination ratio of the combination regularly calculated.

  In the process of S729, when the trigger (timing) for calculating the item ratio shown in the trigger information data 202f is "playing time" (S729: "playing time"), the player at the pachinko machine 10 It is determined whether the cumulative time (game time) in which the game was played is equal to or more than the "predetermined time" included in the trigger information data 202f (S732).

  Here, the game time can be calculated, for example, by the following method. That is, the gaming time counter is provided in the first reading memory 263. The game time counter, like the other counters and data stored in the first reading memory 263, is an initial setting process (see FIG. 18) executed when power is supplied to the item ratio management chip 207; It is initialized to 0 in S744 (see FIG. 21) described later that is executed when it is time to calculate the feature ratio. Then, in the setting information reception process, the value of the out buffer 262f is confirmed, and when one or more values are set, the ball guided to the ball discharge path is detected, that is, the ball is in the game area Since it means that it was fired, the game time counter is incremented by one. The setting information reception counter is activated by an interrupt signal transmitted from the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds. Therefore, the game time can be calculated by integrating 0.5 seconds into the value of the game time counter.

  If it is determined that the game time has become "predetermined time" or more by the process of S732 (S732: Yes), it is determined that it is time to calculate the role ratio and the role ratio calculation process is executed. (S733), the process proceeds to S734. On the other hand, when the game time is less than the "predetermined time" (S731: No), the process directly shifts to the process of S734.

  The character ratio and the continuous character ratio are originally calculated by performing a test shot of the gaming ball for 10 hours. By defining the trigger (timing) for calculating the character ratio by gaming time, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio close to the original definition can be calculated by the character ratio management chip. The analysis can be performed using the feature ratio and the continuous feature ratio close to the original definition.

  In the process of S734, the buffer 262 is all initialized to 0 (S734). As a result, even if there is a buffer not set for each buffer 262a to 262i in setting of winning information, out information and gaming information from the next MPU 201, it can be suppressed that meaningless data remains in the buffer, The meaningless data can be prevented from being stored in the first reading memory 263. After the process of S734, the setting information reception process is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 21, an accessory ratio calculation process (S718, S733) executed by the CPU 261 in the accessory ratio management chip 207 will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the accessory ratio calculation process. The character ratio calculating process is a process of calculating the character ratio and the continuous character ratio from the information stored in the first reading memory 263 and recording the same in the second reading memory 264, and the timing of calculating the character ratio ( It is executed when the power is turned off (refer to FIG. 18), in addition to the case where the trigger is generated (see FIG. 20).

  In the character ratio calculation process, first, the character ratio is calculated from the values of the counters 263a to 263f stored in the first reading memory 263, and added to the character ratio data 264a together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266. And record (S740). Next, the continuous character ratio is calculated from the values of the counters 263a to 263f stored in the first reading memory 263, and added to the continuous character ratio data 264b and recorded together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 (S741 ).

  The character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated as follows. That is, the number of balls winning in the first starting opening 64a indicated by the first counter 263a stored in the first reading memory 263 and the number of balls winning in the second starting opening 64b indicated by the second counter 263b , The number of balls winning in the first ordinary winning opening 63a indicated by the normal counter 263c, the number of balls winning in the second ordinary winning opening 63b indicated by the ordinary counter 263d, and the large winning opening counter 263e An award corresponding to each winning opening shown in the winning balls number table 202e (see FIG. 9) set in the winning balls number data setting area 265a with respect to the number of balls winning in the big winning openings 65a to be played Multiply the number of balls and calculate the number of balls paid out for each winning opening with the winning to the winning opening. Then, by totaling these, the total number of balls paid out to the player is calculated.

  Then, for the total number of balls paid out to the player, the number of balls paid out with the winning of the second starting opening 64b and the number of balls paid out with the winning of the big winning opening 65a. By calculating the ratio of the sum to the number, the feature ratio is calculated. Further, the ratio of the number of balls paid out with the winning of the large winning opening 65a to the total number of balls paid out to the player is calculated, thereby calculating the continuous prize ratio.

  Essentially, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio refer to the above-mentioned ratio in the case where the ball shooting test of the game ball is performed for 10 hours, but in this embodiment, the trigger information data set in the trigger setting area 265b Each time when the feature ratio shown in 202f is calculated (trigger), the game is performed between the time the power is turned on and the first time the time is reached, or the time between the previous time and the current time. Of the total number of balls paid out (winning balls), the ratio of the number of balls paid out with the winning of the second opening 64b and the large winning opening 65a is calculated as the feature ratio Is recorded in the feature ratio data 264a along with the time at that time. In addition, during the period from when the power is turned on to when the timing is reached for the first time, or among the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out to the player from the previous timing to the current timing, a big prize The ratio of the number of balls (prize balls) paid out as a result of winning in the mouth 65a is calculated as the continuous service ratio, and is recorded in the continuous service ratio data 264b along with the time at that time.

  In addition, even when the power is turned off, the power charged in the capacitor 267 is used, and it is paid out while it is determined that the power is turned off from the timing (trigger) at which the nearest object ratio is calculated. Based on the number of balls (prize balls), the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated, and are respectively recorded in the character ratio data 264a or the continuous character ratio data 264b along with the time at that time. . As a result, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated and recorded, and thereafter, the character ratio and the continuous character without leaking even for the number of prize balls paid out before the power is turned off. The ratio can be calculated.

  Next, the value of the out counter 263 f indicating the total number of balls fired to the game area is added to the shot ball number data 264 c and recorded together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 (S 742). Furthermore, various jackpot information stored in large hit medium data 263g, open data 263h, error data 263i, overtime data 263j, door open information, error information, overtime information, and each information are correlated. Time (time when the information is stored) is arranged (sorted) in order from information of old time, and added to the gaming state data 264 d and recorded (S 743).

  In the process of S743, for example, when the big hit information is stored in the big hit medium data 263g at intervals of less than one second, it means that the big hit is continuously generated as the gaming state, so the oldest time Only the jackpot information of and the time are recorded in the gaming state data 264 d. Similarly, in the door open information, error information and overtime information, when each information is stored in each data 263h to j at intervals of less than one second, the information on the oldest time and its time Is recorded in the gaming state data 264 d. Thereby, the storage capacity required for the gaming state data 264 d can be reduced.

  As described above, when the prize ratio information, the out information, and the information regarding the gaming state are received from the MPU 201, the item ratio management chip 207 accumulates the information in the first reading memory 263 and temporarily stores the information. At each timing (trigger) to calculate the bonus ratio, the bonus ratio and the continuous bonus ratio are calculated based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263 and added to the second reading memory 264 Record. As a result, it is possible to manage the character ratio and the like with a small storage capacity, and to transmit information on the character ratio and the like to the inspection apparatus 300.

  In addition, in the second reading memory 264, the time at which they are recorded in the second reading memory 264 is also stored with respect to the character ratio and the continuous character ratio. Further, in the second reading memory 264, information indicating not only the character ratio and the continuous character ratio but also the total number of balls fired to the game area is recorded at the time when the information is recorded in the second reading memory 264 In addition, information about the gaming state (big hit information, door open information, error information, overtime information) is combined with the time when each information is stored in the first reading memory 263 and the second reading memory Stored in H.264. Therefore, as a result of analyzing the character ratio and the continuous character ratio in the inspection apparatus 300, when there is a large change in the character ratio or the continuous character ratio, the character ratio or continuous character ratio which has changed is 2) By analyzing the total number of balls fired in the game area and the game state near the time recorded in the reading memory 264, it is possible to find out the cause of the change in the character ratio or the continuous character ratio.

  Here, a predetermined number of pieces of information can be recorded on the character ratio data 264a, the continuous character ratio data 264b and the fired ball number data 264c, respectively, regarding the character ratio, the continuous character ratio and the total number of balls fired to the game area For example, it is limited to 1024). Further, the total number of hit information, door open information, error information and overtime information that can be recorded in the game state data 264 d is also limited to a predetermined number (for example, 16384). If a predetermined number of information has already been recorded in the character ratio data 264a, the continuous character ratio data 264b, the number of fired balls data 264c or the gaming state data 264d, the oldest information is erased and the latest information is stored there. Is recorded.

  Specifically, the continuous character ratio data 264b, the number of fired balls number data 264c, and the gaming state data 264d are respectively configured by a ring buffer, and each has a memory for managing a position to write information on the ring buffer. By shifting the writing position by one each time information is written, it is possible to realize the processing of erasing the oldest information and recording the latest information there.

  As described above, an increase in the storage capacity of the second reading memory 264 can be suppressed by setting an upper limit on the number of information that can be recorded in each data. In addition, when the information to be recorded in each data reaches the upper limit number, the oldest information is erased and the latest information is recorded, and the analysis is performed by the inspection apparatus 300 including the state of the latest pachinko machine 10 It can be done.

  After the processing of S743, the first reading memory 263 is initialized to all 0 (S744). As a result, the information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is temporarily stored while being accumulated again by the first reading memory 263 until it is time to calculate the feature ratio next time. .

  When the process of S744 ends, the character-item ratio calculation process ends.

  Next, the inspection result output process executed by the CPU 261 in the accessory ratio management chip 207 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing this inspection result output process. The inspection result output process is executed based on an interrupt signal input to the CPU 261 when a cable connector for connecting the inspection device 300 to the inspection terminal 207a is inserted. In the inspection result output process, the data of the second reading memory 264 is output to the inspection device 300.

  When the inspection result output process is executed, first, all the item ratios recorded in the item ratio data 264a and the item ratios corresponding to each item ratio are recorded in the second reading memory 264 The recording time is output to the inspection apparatus 300 in order from the combination rate with the oldest recording time (S751).

  Specifically, when the character ratio data 264a does not satisfy the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information, the CPU 261 first writes the character ratio information in the character ratio data 264a. Information of the bonus ratio recorded from the current position to the location shown in the memory that manages the location to write the information (ie, the location where the information of the bonus ratio at the latest time is recorded) It reads out one by one and transmits to inspection device 300. On the other hand, if the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is satisfied in the character ratio data 264a, the position next to the position indicated by the memory that manages the position to write the information (ie, The position shown in the memory that manages the position where information is written by shifting the reading position one by one sequentially from the position at which the information on the feature ratio of the oldest time is recorded) (ie the role of the latest time The information recorded up to the position where the information of the object ratio is recorded is sequentially read and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. As a result, to the inspection device 300, the information on the feature ratio is output in order from the information on the old time.

  Next, all the continuous character ratios recorded in the continuous character ratio data 264 b and the time when the continuous character ratio corresponding to each continuous character ratio is recorded in the second reading memory 264 The output time is sequentially output to the inspection apparatus 300 in the order of the item ratio at which the recording time is old (S752).

  Specifically, when the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is not satisfied in the continuous character ratio data 264b, the CPU 261 first determines the continuous character ratio data in the continuous character ratio data 264b. The continuous role recorded from the position where the information was written to the position shown in the memory that manages the position where the information is written (ie, the position where the information of the continuous character ratio of the latest time was recorded) The information on the product ratio is sequentially read and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. On the other hand, if the continuous combination ratio data 264b satisfies the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information, the next position of the position indicated by the memory that manages the position to write the information (ie, the position The position shown in the memory that manages the position to write the information by shifting the reading position one by one sequentially from the position at which the information of the consecutive part ratio at the oldest time is recorded, that is, the latest time The information recorded up to the position where the information on the continuous character product ratio is recorded is sequentially read and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. As a result, to the inspection apparatus 300, the information on the continuous winning ratio is output in order from the information on the old time.

  Then, the information on the number of balls fired to all game areas (number of fired balls) recorded in the number of fired balls data 264c and the information on the number of fired balls corresponding to the information on the number of fired balls is [2] The time recorded in the reading memory 264 is output to the inspection apparatus 300 sequentially from the character / child ratio in which the recording time is old (S753).

  Specifically, when the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is not satisfied in the number-of-launched ball data 264c, the CPU 261 first writes the information of the number of launched balls in the number-of-launched ball data 264c. Information of the number of fired balls recorded from the current position to the position shown in the memory for managing the position where the information is written (ie, the position where the information of the number of fired balls at the latest time was recorded) It reads out one by one and transmits to inspection device 300. On the other hand, if the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is satisfied in the number-of-launched ball number data 264c, the next position of the position indicated by the memory that manages the position to write the information (ie, The position shown in the memory that manages the position to write the information is shifted in order from the position at which the information of the number of shots of the oldest time was recorded), and the position shown in the memory that manages the position where the information is written The information recorded up to the position where the information of the ball number is recorded is sequentially read out and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. As a result, information on the number of fired balls is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the information on the old time.

  Next, all the jackpot information recorded in the gaming state data 264 d, the door open information, the error information and the overtime information, and the time when the information corresponding to each information is stored in the first reading memory 263 Are output to the inspection apparatus 300 sequentially from the information having the oldest time (S754).

  Specifically, in the gaming state data 264d, when the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is not satisfied, the CPU 261 selects information from the position where the information is first written in the gaming state data 264d. The information recorded up to the position indicated by the memory that manages the position where writing is performed (that is, the position at which the information of the latest time is recorded) is sequentially read and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. On the other hand, if the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is satisfied in the gaming state data 264 d, the next position (ie, the most position indicated by the memory for managing the position to write the information) The position indicated in the memory that manages the position where the information is written by shifting the reading position one by one sequentially from the position where the information of the old time is recorded, that is, the position where the information of the latest time is recorded The information recorded up to) is sequentially read and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. As described above, in the gaming state data 264 d, pieces of information related to the gaming state are arranged (sorted) from information of old time and recorded in the gaming state data 264 d. Therefore, information on the gaming state is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the information on the old time.

  Since each information is output in order from the old time by the process of S 751 to S 754, the inspection apparatus 300 analyzes the information in the order of the output, so that the item ratio with the passage of time, It is possible to easily analyze changes in the continuous character ratio, the number of fired balls and the game state.

  After the process of S754, the inspection result output process is ended.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the main controller 110 is provided with the item ratio management chip 207, the prize information is obtained from the MPU 201, and the item ratio management chip 207 calculates the item ratio and the continuous product ratio. And record. Then, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207 a, information on the character ratio and the continuous character ratio recorded in the character ratio management chip 207 is output to the inspection device 300.

  Here, among the fraudsters, the second starting opening 64b can be opened by fraudulently opening the motorized part of the second starting opening 64b or guiding the ball to the second starting opening 64b. There are things that try to increase the chance of winning a jackpot by increasing the number of wins. In addition, there are those that try to obtain many winning balls by opening the opening / closing plate of the big winning opening 65a illegally by some method or guiding the ball to the big winning opening 65a. In the case of such fraud, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio increase.

  On the other hand, in the present pachinko machine 10, since it is configured as described above, by analyzing the symbol ratio and the continuous symbol ratio in the inspection device 300, in the case where the fraud is performed, the fraud is performed You can discover

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10, information related to the number of balls fired to the game area and information related to the game state are also recorded in the feature ratio management chip 207 and output to the inspection device 300. Therefore, when the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are high by the analysis by the inspection device 300, the cause is searched based on the information on the number of balls fired to the game area and the information on the game state. be able to.

  Further, the item ratio management chip 207 is provided in the main control device 110, and is housed in one substrate box 100 together with the MPU 201, the ROM 202, and the like. As a result, it is difficult for the fraudster to modify the winning information etc. input to the feature ratio management chip 207. Therefore, high reliability can be maintained with respect to the character ratio and the continuous character ratio calculated and output by the character ratio management chip 207.

  In addition, since the special-purpose-item ratio management chip 207 for managing the special-effects ratio, etc. is provided instead of having the MPU 201 manage the special-effects ratio, etc., an increase in processing load of the MPU 201 can be suppressed, It is possible to dedicate the MPU 201 to such control.

  In addition, the prize ratio data setting area 265a is provided in the prize ratio management chip 207, and the prize ball number table 202e stored in the ROM 202 is set in the prize ball number data setting area 265a when power is supplied. The prize ratio management chip 207 calculates the prize ratio and the continuous prize ratio using the winning number table 202e set in the winning number setting area 265a. As a result, it is not necessary to store the information on the number of winning balls different for each model in the ROM of the feature ratio management chip 207 at the manufacturing stage. Therefore, the manufacturing of the property ratio management chip 207 can be simplified. If the model of the pachinko machine is different, the ROM 202 may be changed, and even if the pachinko machines of different models use the same item ratio management chip 207, the combination ratio can be accurately calculated.

  Next, each control process executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 will be described with reference to FIGS. The processing of the MPU 221 can be roughly classified into a start-up process which is started upon turning on the power and a main process which is executed after the start-up process.

  First, with reference to FIG. 23, the start-up process executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing this start-up process. This start-up process is started when the power is turned on.

  When the start-up process is executed, first, an initial setting process is performed upon power-on (S801). Specifically, a predetermined value determined in advance is set in the stack pointer. Thereafter, depending on whether the power-off process flag is on or not, the power-on process of S 915 is performed due to a momentary voltage drop (a momentary power failure, so-called “temporary power failure”) in the current startup process (see FIG. 24). It is determined whether or not it is started during the execution of (S802). As described later with reference to FIG. 24, when the power-off command is received from the main control device 110 (see S912 in FIG. 24), the audio lamp control device 113 executes the power-off processing of S915. The power-off processing flag is turned on before the power-off processing is performed, and the power-off processing flag is turned off after the power-off processing is completed. Therefore, whether or not the power-off process in step S915 is being executed can be determined based on the state of the power-off process flag.

  If the power-off process flag is off (S802: No), the current start-up process is started after the power is completely shut off, or after a momentary power failure occurs and the power-off of S915 occurs. It was started after completing execution of the process, or was started after reset (only without receiving a power-off command from the main control unit 110) by resetting only the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control unit 113 due to noise or the like. is there. Therefore, in these cases, it is checked whether the data in the RAM 223 is destroyed (S803).

  Confirmation of data corruption in the RAM 223 is performed as follows. That is, in the specific area of the RAM 223, data as a keyword "55AAh" is written by the processing of S806. Therefore, the data stored in the specific area is checked, and if the data is "55 AAh", there is no data destruction of the RAM 223, and conversely, if "55 AAh", the data destruction of the RAM 223 can be confirmed. If data corruption in the RAM 223 is confirmed (S803: Yes), the process proceeds to S804 and initialization of the RAM 223 is started. On the other hand, if data corruption in the RAM 223 is not confirmed (S803: No), the process proceeds to S808.

  In addition, since the keyword of "55AAh" is not memorize | stored in the specific area | region of RAM223 when the start-up process this time is started after the power supply was cut off completely (The memory of RAM223 is lost by power-off. ) Is judged to be data corruption in the RAM 223 (S803: Yes), and the process proceeds to S804. On the other hand, the current start-up process is started after completing the execution of the power-off process of S 915 after an instantaneous power failure occurs, or reset only to the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control device 113 due to noise or the like. If the start of the program is started, since the keyword "55AAh" is stored in the specific area of the RAM 223, the data of the RAM 223 is determined to be normal (S803: No), and the process proceeds to S808.

  If the power-off process flag is on (S802: Yes), the current start-up process is after a momentary power failure has occurred, and during the execution of the power-off process of S915, the voice lamp control device 113 The MPU 221 is reset and started. In such a case, since the power-off process is being executed, the storage state of the RAM 223 is not necessarily correct. Therefore, since the control can not be continued in this case, the process proceeds to S804 and initialization of the RAM 223 is started.

  In the process of S804, the storage area of the entire range of the RAM 223 is checked (S804). As a check method, first, “0FFh” is written for each byte, and it is read for each byte to check whether it is “0FFh”, and if “0FFh”, it is determined that it is normal. The writing and confirmation for each byte is performed in the order of “55h”, “0AAh”, and “00h” next to “0FFh”. By the read / write check of the RAM 223, all storage areas of the RAM 223 are cleared to zero.

  If it is determined that the read / write check is normal for all the storage areas of the RAM 223 (S805: Yes), the keyword "55AAh" is written in the specific area of the RAM 223, and RAM destruction check data is set (S806). By checking the keyword "55AAh" written in this specific area, it is checked whether there is data corruption in the RAM 223 or not. On the other hand, if an abnormality in the read / write check is detected in any of the storage areas of the RAM 223 (S805: No), the abnormality of the RAM 223 is notified (S807), and an infinite loop is performed until the power is shut off. The abnormality of the RAM 223 is notified by the display lamp 34. Note that the voice output device 226 may output a voice to notify the abnormality of the RAM 223, or an error command may be sent to the display control device 114 to display an error message on the third symbol display device 81. You may

  In the process of S808, it is determined whether the power-off flag is turned on (S808). The power-off flag is turned on when the power-off process of S915 is executed (see S914 of FIG. 24). That is, since the power-off flag is turned on before the power-off processing of S915 is performed, it is instantaneous that the current start-up processing is instantaneous when the power-off flag is turned on until the processing of S808 is performed. This is the case where the process is started after the power failure has occurred and the execution of the power-off process in step S915 has been completed. Therefore, in such a case (S808: Yes), the work area of the RAM is cleared to initialize each process of the audio lamp control device 113 (S809), and the initial value of the RAM 223 is set (S810). The permission is set (S811), and the process proceeds to the main processing. The work area of the RAM 223 is an area other than the area for storing a command or the like received from the main control device 110.

  On the other hand, the reason for reaching the processing of S808 in the state where the power-off flag is turned off is that, for example, the startup processing of this time is started after the power is completely shut off. It is a case where the processing is reached or the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control device 113 is reset only (without receiving a power-off command from the main control device 110) due to noise or the like. Therefore, in such a case (S 808: No), S 809 which is a process of clearing the work area of the RAM 223 is skipped, the process proceeds to S 810 and the initial value of the RAM 223 is set (S 810). Then (S811), it shifts to the main processing.

  The reason for skipping the clearing process of S809 is that, when the process of S808 is reached via the processes of S804 to S806, all the storage areas of the RAM 223 have already been cleared by the process of S804. If the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control device 113 is reset only due to noise or the like and the start-up process is started, the data of the work area of the RAM 223 is saved without being cleared, and the audio lamp control device 113 is stored. It is because control of can be continued.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 22, the main processing executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 after the startup processing of the audio lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing this main processing. When the main process is executed, it is first determined whether 1 millisecond or more has elapsed since the process of S901 was executed last time (S901), and if 1 millisecond or more has not elapsed (S901: No) The processing proceeds to step S910 without performing the processing of steps S902 to S908. While it is not necessary to process S902 to S908 in a short cycle (within 1 millisecond) to determine whether 1 millisecond has elapsed in the process of S901, the variation display process of S910 is performed. This is because the command determination process of step S911 is preferably performed in a short cycle. Since the process of S911 is executed in a short cycle, it is possible to prevent omission of reception of the command transmitted from the main control device 110, and by executing the process of S910 in a short cycle, the command received by the command determination process Setting based on the above can be performed without delay.

  In the process of S901, if it is determined that one millisecond or more has elapsed since the process of S901 was performed last time (S901: Yes), the process proceeds to S902. If the process of S901 is executed for the first time after the start-up process shown in FIG. 21, the process directly proceeds to the process of S902.

  In the process of S902, various commands to the display control apparatus 114 set by the processes of S903 to S911 are transmitted to the display control apparatus 114 (S902). Next, the setting of the lighting mode of the display lamp 34 and the output of each lamp are set to be the lighting mode of the lamp edited in the process of S906 described later (S903), and then the power on notification process is executed (S904). The power on notification process is to notify that the power is turned on for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) when the power is turned on, and the notification is made by the voice output device 226 or the lamp display device 227. It will be. Further, a command may be transmitted to the display control device 114 so as to notify that power is supplied on the screen of the third symbol display device 81. If the power is not turned on, the process proceeds to step S 905 without performing notification by the power on notification process.

  Next, a frame button input monitoring and rendering process is executed (S905). In this frame button input monitoring and effect processing, the input whether or not the frame button 22 operated by the player has been pressed in order to enhance the effect is monitored, and the input of the frame button 22 is confirmed. It is a process set to perform an effect. In this process, when an operation by the player of the frame button 22 is detected, a frame button operation command for notifying the display control device 114 that the frame button 22 has been operated is set.

  In addition, when the frame button 22 is pressed during a period in which the fluctuation effect is not executed or during the high speed fluctuation period, processing for changing the stage is performed, and the rear surface image change for the display control device 114 is changed instead of the frame button operation command. Set the command. By including information on the type of the back image corresponding to the stage after the change in the back image change command, the display control device 114 displays the back image displayed on the third symbol display device 81 according to the stage. Processing to change to is performed. In addition, when the advance notice character appears at the start of the variable display, pressing the frame button 22 displays the expected value of the jackpot due to the current fluctuation, or pressing the frame button 22 during reach production produces a sense of expectation for the jackpot. Alternatively, the frame button 22 may be set as a decision button for selecting one reach effect among a plurality of reach effects. When the frame button 22 is not provided, the process of S905 is omitted.

  When the frame button input monitoring / effect processing (S905) is finished, next, lamp editing processing is executed (S906), and then sound editing / output processing is executed (S907). In the lamp editing process, lighting patterns and the like of the electric decoration portions 29 to 33 are set to correspond to the display performed by the third symbol display device 81. In the sound editing / output processing, the output pattern of the audio output device 226 is set to correspond to the display performed by the third symbol display device 81, and the sound is output from the audio output device 226 according to the setting.

  After the process of S907, the liquid crystal effect execution management process is executed (S908). In the liquid crystal effect execution management process, based on the fluctuation pattern command transmitted from the main control device 110, a time synchronized with the time required for the fluctuation display performed by the third symbol display device 81 is set. The lamp editing process of S906 is executed based on the time set in the liquid crystal effect execution monitoring process, and the sound editing / output process of S907 is also synchronized with the time required for the fluctuation display performed by the third symbol display device 81 Run in time. After the process of S908, the process proceeds to the process of S910.

  In the process of S 910, in order to display the fluctuation effect on the third symbol display device 81, a display variation pattern command is generated based on the variation pattern command received from the main control device 110, and the command is sent to the display control device 114. The variable display process, which is a process set to transmit, is executed. The details of the variation display process will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, after the variation display processing, command determination processing is performed to perform processing according to the command received from the main control device 110 (S911). Details of the command determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When the process of S911 ends, it is determined whether or not the occurrence information of the power-off is stored in the work RAM 233 (S912). The power-off occurrence information is stored when a power-off command is received from the main control device 110. If the power-off occurrence information is stored in the process of S912 (S912: Yes), both the power-off flag and the power-off process flag are turned on (S914), and the power-off process is executed (S915). After the power-off process is executed, the power-off process flag is turned off (S916), and then the process is looped endlessly. In the power-off process, the occurrence of the interrupt process is inhibited, and each output port is turned off, and the outputs from the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 are turned off. In addition, the storage of occurrence information of power-off is also erased.

  On the other hand, if the power failure occurrence information is not stored in the process of S912 (S912: No), it is determined based on the keyword stored in the RAM 223 whether the RAM 223 is destroyed (S913) and the RAM 223 is destroyed. If not (S913: No), the process returns to S901, and the main process is repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if the RAM 223 is destroyed (S913: Yes), the processing is infinitely looped to stop the execution of the subsequent processing.

  Here, since the main processing is not executed if it is determined that the RAM is destroyed and the loop is infinite, the display by the third symbol display device 81 does not change thereafter. Therefore, the player can know that an abnormality has occurred, and can call a clerk or the like in the hall to ask for repair of the pachinko machine 10 or the like. Further, when it is confirmed that the RAM 223 is destroyed, notification of the destruction of the RAM may be performed by the audio output device 226 or the lamp display device 227.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 25, the command determination processing (S911) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing this command determination process (S911). The command determination process (S911) is executed in the main process (see FIG. 24) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113, and determines the command received from the main control device 110 as described above. .

  In the command determination process, first, the first command received from the main control apparatus 110 among the unprocessed commands is read out and analyzed from the command storage area provided in the RAM 223, and the variation pattern command is received from the main control apparatus 110 It is determined whether or not (S1001). When it is determined that the variation pattern command has been received (S1001: Yes), the variation pattern is extracted from the variation pattern command (S1002), and the process returns to the main processing. The variation pattern extracted here is stored in the RAM 223, and in the variation display process described later (see FIG. 26), a display variation pattern command for notifying the display control device 114 of the start of the variation effect and the variation pattern Used when setting.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation pattern command has not been received (S1001: No), it is then determined whether a stop type command has been received from the main control device 110 (S1003). When it is determined that the stop type command has been received (S1003: Yes), the stop type is extracted from the stop type command (S1004), the fluctuation start flag is set to ON (S1005), and the process returns to the main processing. .

  It should be noted that after the main control device 110 transmits the change pattern command when starting the change effect, the stop type command indicates the stop type of the change effect whose change pattern is indicated by the change pattern command, the main control device This is a command that is always transmitted from 110. By setting the change start flag to ON by the process of S1005, in the change display process executed later, based on the change pattern extracted from the change pattern command received earlier and the stop type extracted from the stop type command. A display variation pattern command and a display suspension type command for notifying the display control device 114 of the variation pattern and the suspension type are generated, and processing for transmitting to the display control device 114 is executed.

  As a result of the process of S1003, when it is determined that the stop type command has not been received (S1003: No), next, it is determined whether or not the ball holding ball number command has been received from the main control device 110 (S1006). Then, when it is determined that the holding ball number command has been received (S1006: Yes), the value of the holding ball number counter 203a of the main control device 110 included in the holding ball number command (ie, holding of the fluctuation effect held) The number of balls) is extracted and stored in the RAM 223 of the audio lamp control device 113 (S1007).

  Here, since the holding ball number command is transmitted from the main control device 110 when the ball wins (start winning) in any of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b, the starting winning combination is At each time, the value of the number of holding balls stored in the RAM 223 of the audio lamp control device 113 can be adjusted to the value of the number holding ball counter 203a of the main control device 110 by the process of S1007. Therefore, even if the value of the holding ball number of the voice lamp control device 113 deviates from the value of the holding ball number counter 203a of the main control device 110 due to the influence of noise etc., the holding ball of the voice lamp control device 113 is detected The value of the number counter 223a can be corrected to match the value of the holding ball number counter 203a of the main controller 110.

  Next, the values of the first random number counter C1, the first collision type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the fluctuation type counter CS1 included in the received ball number command are extracted and stored in the RAM 223 (S1008).

  The values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 included in the ball holding ball number command are acquired from the counter buffer in the main control unit 110 when the ball wins in the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b (starting winning combination) It is done. The audio lamp control device 113 can execute pre-reading processing by referring to the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 stored in the RAM 223. That is, it is judged before the execution of the fluctuation effect that what will be the result of the fluctuation effect when the suspended fluctuation effect is executed (whether or not it becomes a big hit, the fluctuation time etc.), It is possible to decide the execution of various effects.

  Next, a display ball holding ball number command for notifying the display control device 114 of the value of the ball holding number stored in the RAM 223 by the process of S1007 is set (S1009), and the process returns to the main process. The holding ball number command for display set here is temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by the command output process (S902) of the main process. Thereby, in the display control device 114, processing is executed to cause the third symbol display device 81 to display the number-of-held-balls number design according to the number of held balls.

  As a result of the process of S1006, when it is determined that the hold ball number command has not been received (S1006: No), it is then determined whether a confirmation command has been received from the main control device 110 (S1010). The confirmation command is a command for confirming and displaying the fluctuation effect being executed by the third symbol display device 81. If it is determined that the confirmation command has been received (S1010: Yes), a display confirmation command for notifying the display control device 114 of receipt of the confirmation command is set (S1011), and the process returns to the main processing. . The display confirmation command set here is temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by the command output process (S902) of the main process. The display control device 114 stops the fluctuation effect being executed in the third symbol display device 81 by receiving the display confirmation command, and corresponds to the stop type previously indicated by the display stop type command. By displaying the stop symbol, the confirmation display is performed.

  As a result of the process of S1010, when it is determined that the confirmation command has not been received (S1010: No), it is determined whether or not another command has been received, and the process according to the received command is executed. (S1012), shifts to the main processing. For example, if the other command is a command used by the audio lamp control device 113, processing corresponding to that command is performed, the processing result is stored in the RAM 223, and if it is a command used by the display control device 114, the command is displayed control The command is set to be sent to the device 114. The demo command received from the main control unit 110 is set as a display demo command by the process of S1013 and temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and then the command output process of the main process (S902) ) To the display control device 114.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 26, the variation display process (S910) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing this variation display process (S910).

  This fluctuation display process (S910) is executed in the main process (see FIG. 24) executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113, and as described above, displays fluctuation effects in the third symbol display device 81. In order to make it possible, a display fluctuation pattern command and a display stop type command are generated based on the fluctuation pattern command and the stop type command received from the main control unit 110, and these commands are set to be transmitted to the display control unit 114. Processing.

  In the fluctuation display process, first, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation start flag provided in the RAM 223 is on (S1101). Then, if it is determined that the fluctuation start flag is not on (that is, is off) (S1101: No), since the stop type command has not been received from the main control device 110, this fluctuation display process is performed. Exit and return to main processing.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the fluctuation start flag is on (S1101: Yes), the fluctuation start flag is turned off (S1102), and extracted from the fluctuation pattern command in the processing of S1002 of the command determination process (see FIG. 25). The fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation effect is acquired from the RAM 223 (S1103). The fluctuation pattern extracted here is fluctuation time. The voice lamp control device 113 prepares a plurality of detailed fluctuation patterns for each fluctuation time, and one detailed fluctuation among a plurality of detailed fluctuation patterns prepared for the extracted fluctuation pattern (variation time) A pattern is determined by lottery, and a display variation pattern command for notifying the display control device 114 of the determined detailed variation pattern is set (S1104).

  The display variation pattern command set here is temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by the command output process (S902) of the main process. By receiving the display variation pattern command, the display control device 114 causes the third symbol display device 81 to perform the variation display of the third symbol in the third symbol display device 81 in the detailed variation pattern indicated by the display variation pattern command. , The display control of the fluctuation production is started.

  Next, the stop type in the fluctuation effect extracted from the stop type command in the process of S1004 in the command determination process (see FIG. 23) is acquired from the RAM 223 (S1105). Then, a display stop type command for notifying the display control device 114 of the extracted stop type is set (S1104). The stop type command for display set here is temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by the command output process (S902) of the main process. The display control device 114 sets a stop symbol corresponding to the stop type indicated by the display stop type command when the fluctuation effect executed by the display change pattern command set in the process of S1105 is displayed. Do.

  Next, in accordance with the setting of the display variation pattern command, the value of the number of holding balls in the RAM 223 is decreased by 1 in accordance with consumption of the holding balls (that is, setting of the variable display corresponding to the holding balls is performed). (S1107), a display pending ball count command for notifying the display control device 114 of the value of the pending ball count after update is set (S1108). Then, the processing returns to the main processing.

  The display holding sphere number command set by the processing of S1108 is temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by the command output processing (S902) of the main processing. . The display control device 114 executes a process of causing the third symbol display device 81 to display the number-of-held-balls number pattern according to the number of held balls indicated by the number-of-held-cells-for-display command. Therefore, the player can recognize the number of the balls held by counting the number of the held balls number symbol displayed on the third symbol display device 81.

  Next, each control executed by the MPU 231 of the display control device 114 will be described with reference to FIG. The processing of the MPU 231 is roughly divided into main processing repeatedly executed after power on, command interrupt processing executed when a command is received from the audio lamp control device 113, and one frame of the image controller 236. There is a V interrupt process which is executed when the MPU 231 detects a V interrupt signal transmitted every 20 milliseconds when the image drawing process is completed. The MPU 231 normally executes main processing, and executes command interrupt processing and V interrupt processing in accordance with reception of a command and detection of a V interrupt signal. When the reception of the command and the detection of the V interrupt signal are simultaneously performed, the command reception process is preferentially executed. As a result, the contents of the command received from the audio lamp control device 113 can be quickly reflected to execute the V interrupt process.

  First, with reference to FIG. 27A, the main process executed by the MPU 231 in the display control device 114 will be described. FIG. 27A is a flowchart showing this main processing. The main process is started when the power is turned on and continues to be executed until the power is turned off.

  When the power is turned on and the main process is executed by the MPU 231, first, an initial setting process is executed (S1401). Specifically, first, the MPU 231 is initialized, and processing for clearing the storage of the work RAM 233 and the video RAM 234 is performed. Then, the compressed character information stored in the character ROM 235 is read, the read character information is decompressed, and the decompressed character information is stored in the video RAM 234. Furthermore, in order to display the initial screen, information corresponding to the initial screen is extracted from the character information written in the video RAM 234, and an area in the video RAM 234 different from the area in the video RAM 234 storing the decompressed character information The extracted character information is written in the prepared frame buffer area. Also perform other settings necessary for initialization.

  When the initial setting process is completed, next, interrupt permission is set (S1402), and thereafter, the main process executes an infinite loop process until the power is turned off. Thus, after the interrupt permission is set by the process of S1402, command interrupt processing and V interrupt processing are executed according to the reception of the command and the detection of the V interrupt signal.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 27B, the command interruption process executed by the MPU 231 of the display control device 114 will be described. FIG. 27B is a flowchart showing the command interruption process. As described above, when a command is received from the audio lamp control device 113, the MPU 231 executes a command interrupt process.

  In this command interrupt process, the received command data is extracted, and the extracted command data is sequentially stored in the command buffer area provided in the work RAM 233 (S1501), and the process is ended. The various commands stored in the command buffer area by the command interrupt process are read out by the command determination process of V interrupt process described later, and the process according to the command is performed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 27C, the V interrupt process executed by the MPU 231 of the display control device 114 will be described. FIG. 27 (c) is a flowchart showing the V interruption process. In this V interrupt process, various processes corresponding to the command stored in the command buffer area are executed by the command interrupt process, and an image to be displayed on the third symbol display device 81 is specified, and then the drawing of the image is performed. And the display to the image controller 236.

  As described above, this V interrupt processing is started when the V interrupt signal from the image controller 236 is detected. The V interruption signal is a signal which is generated every 20 milliseconds when the image controller 236 completes the drawing processing of an image of one frame, and is transmitted to the MPU 231. Therefore, by executing the V interrupt process in synchronization with the V interrupt signal, the drawing instruction is issued to the image controller 236 every 20 milliseconds when the drawing process of the image for one frame is completed. become. Therefore, the image controller 236 does not receive an instruction to draw the next image at the stage where the image drawing process or the display process is not completed, so that drawing of a new image is started during image drawing, It is possible to prevent the image from being developed in response to a new drawing instruction in the frame buffer in which the image information being displayed is stored.

  In this V interrupt process, as shown in FIG. 27C, first, a command determination process (S1602) is executed. In the command determination process (S1602), the content of the command from the voice lamp control device 113 stored in the command buffer area by the command interrupt process is analyzed, and a process according to the command is executed. For example, when the display fluctuation pattern command is stored, the image is drawn so that the third symbol display device 81 executes the fluctuation effect according to the detailed fluctuation pattern indicated by the display fluctuation pattern table command. And start controlling the display.

  If the display stop type command is stored, high-speed fluctuation is in progress so that the fluctuation effect executed by the third symbol display device 81 is stopped and displayed with the stop symbol indicated by the display stop type command ( While the variable display of the third symbol is being performed so that the player can not recognize the contents of the third symbol, the third symbol being displayed is replaced. When the display confirmation command is stored, control of image drawing and display is performed such that the finalized display is performed in the fluctuation effect executed by the third symbol display device 81.

  In the command determination process (S1602), all commands stored in the command buffer area at that time are analyzed to execute the process. This is because command determination processing is performed at an interval of 20 milliseconds at which V interrupt processing is executed, and it is highly likely that a plurality of commands are stored in the command buffer area within that 20 milliseconds. is there. In particular, when the start of the change effect is determined in the main control device 110, there is a high possibility that the display change pattern command, the stop type command, and the like are simultaneously stored in the command buffer area. Therefore, by analyzing and executing these commands at one time, it is possible to quickly grasp the aspect of the fluctuation effects and other effects selected by the main controller 110 and the audio lamp control device 113, and the effect image according to the aspect It is possible to control the drawing of the image so that the third symbol display device 81 displays.

  When the command determination process (S1602) ends, next, the display setting process (S1603) is executed. In the display setting process (S1603), one frame to be displayed next in the third symbol display device 81 based on the type of the screen to be displayed in the third symbol display device 81 determined by the command determination process (S1602) or the like. Concretely identify the contents of the image.

  After the display setting process (S1603) is executed, task processing is then executed (S1064). In this task processing, based on the contents of the image for the next one frame to be displayed on the third display device 281 specified by the display setting processing (S1603), the characters (sprites, displayed objects) constituting the image. While specifying the type, various parameters necessary for drawing, such as display coordinate position, enlargement ratio, rotation angle, are determined for each character (sprite).

  Then, the drawing process is executed (S1504). In this drawing process, the types of various characters constituting one frame and parameters necessary for drawing each character, which are determined in the task process (S1503), are transmitted to the image controller 236. Thereby, the image controller 236 executes the drawing process of the image according to the information and also causes the third symbol display device 81 to display the image drawn according to the information received 1 V earlier, together with the drive signal Control for transmitting image data to the third symbol display device 81 is performed.

  After that, after performing other necessary processing, for example, processing of updating various counters provided in the display control device 114 (S1505), the V interrupt processing ends.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the main controller 110 is provided with the item ratio management chip 207, the winning information is obtained from the MPU 201, and the item ratio management chip 207 Calculate and record the item ratio and the continuous character ratio. Then, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207 a, information on the character ratio and the continuous character ratio recorded in the character ratio management chip 207 is output to the inspection device 300.

  Here, among the fraudsters, the second starting opening 64b can be opened by fraudulently opening the motorized part of the second starting opening 64b or guiding the ball to the second starting opening 64b. There are things that try to increase the chance of winning a jackpot by increasing the number of wins. In addition, there are those that try to obtain many winning balls by opening the opening / closing plate of the big winning opening 65a illegally by some method or guiding the ball to the big winning opening 65a. In the case of such fraud, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio increase.

  On the other hand, in the present pachinko machine 10, since it is configured as described above, by analyzing the symbol ratio and the continuous symbol ratio in the inspection device 300, in the case where the fraud is performed, the fraud is performed You can discover

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10, information related to the number of balls fired to the game area and information related to the game state are also recorded in the feature ratio management chip 207 and output to the inspection device 300. Therefore, when the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are high by the analysis by the inspection device 300, the cause is searched based on the information on the number of balls fired to the game area and the information on the game state. be able to.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 28 to 30, a pachinko machine 10 according to a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, when it is time to calculate the character ratio, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio based on the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first reading memory 263. Is calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment, when it becomes the trigger (timing) indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b, each recorded in the first reading memory 263 The values of the counters 263a to 263e are recorded as they are in the second reading memory 264, and the values of the counters 263a to 263e recorded in the second reading memory 264 are outputted to the inspection apparatus 300 as they are.

  Hereinafter, the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 according to the second embodiment, the same components and processes as those of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 28 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the main control device 110 in the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment. The electrical configuration of the main controller 110 according to the second embodiment differs from that according to the first embodiment in that in the second reading memory of the accessory ratio management chip 207, accessory ratio data 264a according to the first embodiment and continuity. The point is to record winning counter data 264 e instead of the character ratio data 264 b.

  In the second embodiment, the meaning of the trigger information data 202 f set in the trigger setting area 265 b is different from that in the first embodiment. That is, in the second embodiment, the trigger information data 202 f indicates a trigger (timing) for recording the values of the counters 263 a to 263 e stored in the first reading memory 263 in the second reading memory 264. The meaning of the trigger information data 202f is different from that of the first embodiment only, and the content itself is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  That is, in the trigger information data 202f, as the trigger (timing) for recording the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first reading memory 263 to the second reading memory 264, the "number of shots", "time", " Information indicating any of "playing time" is defined.

  The trigger information data 202 f also defines information indicating a “predetermined number of balls” at which it is time to calculate an accessory ratio when information indicating “number of shots” is defined. For example, if the trigger information data 202 f defines information indicating “number of shots” and information indicating 500 spheres as “predetermined number of spheres”, the first reading is performed each time the number of firing balls reaches 500. The values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the memory 263 are recorded in the second reading memory 264.

  When information indicating “time” is defined, the trigger information data 202 f also defines information indicating “predetermined time” at which to calculate the role ratio. For example, when the information indicating “time” is defined in the trigger information data 202 f and the information indicating “12 o'clock, 17 o'clock, 19 o'clock, 22 o'clock as“ predetermined time ”, the time is 12 o'clock , 17 o'clock, 19 o'clock and 22 o'clock, the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first reading memory 263 are recorded in the second reading memory 264.

  The trigger information data 202 f defines information indicating “predetermined time” at which it is time to calculate the role ratio when information indicating “playing time” is defined. For example, when the trigger information data 202 f defines information indicating “playing time” and information indicating “two hours as the“ predetermined time ”, the first reading memory 263 is executed every two hours of the playing time. The values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the second reading memory 264 are recorded to the second reading memory 264.

  The winning counter data 264e is generated at the start counter 263a of the first reading memory 263 at each timing (trigger) at which the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first reading memory 263 are recorded in the second reading memory 264. The total number of balls won in the first starting port 64a counted, the total number of balls won in the second starting port 64b counted by the 2nd counter 263b, and the first ordinary number counted by the 1st counter 263c The total number of balls winning in the winning opening 63a, the total number of balls winning in the second normal winning opening 63b counted by the 2nd counter 263d, and the big winning opening 65a counted by the large winning opening counter 263e The total number of spheres recorded is data recorded together with the time at the recording timing.

  The total number of balls won in each winning opening from the time the power is turned on to the first arrival of that timing, or from the previous timing to the current timing, is the counter corresponding to each winning opening. Indicated by. When it is time to record the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first reading memory 263 to the second reading memory 264, the values of the counters 263a to 263e at that time are indicated by the RTC 266 The winning counter data 264e is recorded together with the time of day.

  The winning counter data 264e corresponds to one time, and the total number of balls winning in the first starting opening 64a at that time, the total number of balls winning in the second starting opening 64b, and the first ordinary winning opening 63a The total number of balls, the total number of balls winning in the second normal winning opening 63b, and the total number of balls winning in the large winning opening 65a may be recorded.

  In addition, the winning counter data 264e includes an area for recording the total number of balls won in the first starting opening 64a, an area for storing the total number of balls winning in the second starting opening 64b, and a first ordinary winning opening 63a. The first reading memory is provided with an area for recording the total number of balls played, an area for storing the total number of balls won in the second ordinary winning opening 63b, and an area for recording the total number of balls winning in the large winning opening 65a. When the timing (trigger) at which the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in H.263 are recorded in the second reading memory 264 is reached, the total number of balls that have won in the corresponding winning opening for each area is The winning opening counter data 264 e may be configured to be recorded along with the time at the timing.

  Here, the information on the total number of balls awarded to each winning opening that can be recorded in the winning counter data 264e is limited to a predetermined number (for example, 16384). For example, the total number of balls winning in the first starting opening 64a, the total number of balls winning in the second starting opening 64b, the total number of balls winning in the first ordinary winning opening 63a, in association with one time When the winning counter data 264e is configured to record the total number of balls won in the second normal winning opening 63b and the total number of balls winning in the large winning opening 65a, a predetermined number of information is already recorded in the winning counter data 264e. If it is, the information of the oldest time is deleted, and the latest information is recorded there. For example, the winning counter data 264e is configured as a ring buffer, and a memory for managing the position to write information is separately prepared on the ring buffer, and the position to write is shifted by 1 each time the information is written. Then, the process of erasing the oldest information and recording the latest information there can be realized. As described above, an increase in the storage capacity of the second reading memory 264 can be suppressed by setting an upper limit on the number of information that can be recorded in the winning counter data 264 e. In addition, when the information to be recorded in the winning counter data 264e reaches the upper limit number, the oldest information is erased and the latest information is recorded, thereby including the state of the latest pachinko machine 10 in the inspection device 300. Analysis can be performed.

  An area for recording the total number of balls won in the first starting opening 64a, an area for storing the total number of balls winning in the second starting opening 64b, and a total number of balls winning in the first ordinary winning opening 63a If the winning counter data 264e is configured by providing an area for storing, the area for storing the total number of balls won in the second normal winning opening 63b, and the area for recording the total number of balls winning in the large winning opening 65a. A ring buffer may be configured for each area, and an upper limit may be provided for the number of information that can be recorded in each area, and control may be performed as described above. By this, when the information to be recorded reaches the upper limit number in each area, the oldest information is erased and the latest information is recorded, and the inspection device 300 including the latest state of the pachinko machine 10 Analysis can be performed.

  When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, an interrupt is generated to the CPU 261, and the CPU 261 causes the winning counter data 264e recorded in the second reading memory 264, the number of fired balls data 264c, and the gaming state data H.264d are sequentially transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. When transmitting each data 264e, 264c, 264d to the inspection apparatus 300, the CPU 261 processes each information (including the recorded time information associated with each information) recorded in each data 264e, 264c, 264d. , Read out in the order of recording, and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300.

  Specifically, if the data to be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 from now on does not satisfy the upper limit number of recordable information (the above-mentioned predetermined number) determined for each, the CPU 261 first gives information to the data. The information recorded from the position where the data was written to the position shown in the memory that manages the position where the information is written (that is, the position where the information of the latest time is recorded) is sequentially read and inspected Send to device 300. On the other hand, in the data for transmitting information to the inspection apparatus 300, when the upper limit number (the above-mentioned predetermined number) of recordable information determined for each is satisfied, the position for writing the information is indicated by memory The position indicated in the memory that manages the position where the information is to be written by shifting the reading position one by one sequentially from the position next to the selected position (that is, the position where the information of the oldest time is recorded) The information recorded up to the position at which the information of the latest time is recorded is sequentially read and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. As a result, information is output to the inspection apparatus 300 in order from the information of the old time.

  An area for recording the total number of balls won in the first starting opening 64a, an area for storing the total number of balls winning in the second starting opening 64b, and a total number of balls winning in the first ordinary winning opening 63a If the winning counter data 264e is configured by providing an area for storing, the area for storing the total number of balls won in the second normal winning opening 63b, and the area for recording the total number of balls winning in the large winning opening 65a. By reading out the information as described above for each area, the total number of balls that have won the winning opening for each winning opening is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the information of the old time Become.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 29, the winning information storage processing (S718, S733) executed by the CPU 261 in the accessory ratio management chip 207 in the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing this winning information storage process. In the first embodiment, the information stored in the first reading memory 263 when the timing (trigger) for calculating the character ratio is reached (see FIG. 20) and when the power is turned off (see FIG. 18). In the second embodiment, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264 (see FIG. 21), but in the second embodiment, it is stored in the first reading memory 263. When it comes to the timing (trigger) to record each information in the second reading memory 264 (see FIG. 20) and when the power is turned off (see FIG. 18), winning is achieved instead of the prize ratio calculation process. Execute information storage processing. The winning information storage process is a process of recording each information stored in the first reading memory 263 in the second reading memory 264.

  In the winning information storage process, first, the values of the counters 263 a to 263 e corresponding to the winning opening stored in the first reading memory 263 are matched with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 to obtain the second reading memory 264. In addition to the winning counter data 264e, it is recorded (S761). As a result, for each key position timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202 f set in the trigger setting area 265 b, the time from when the power is turned on until the timing reaches the first time, or from the previous timing this time The total number of balls awarded to the first starting port 64a counted by the first counter 263a of the first reading memory 263 and the second starting port 64b counted by the first counter 263b until the timing of The total number of winning balls, the total number of balls winning in the first ordinary winning hole 63a counted by the 1 counter 263c, and the total number of balls winning in the 2nd ordinary winning hole 63b counted by the 2 counter 263d The total number and the total number of balls awarded to the special winning opening 65a counted by the special winning opening counter 263e are additionally recorded in the second reading memory 264.

  Also, even when the power is turned off, while it is determined that the power is turned off from the timing (trigger) at which the recording to the second reading memory 264 was performed most recently by using the power stored in the capacitor 267. The total number of balls winning in the first starting port 64a counted by the first counter 263a of the first reading memory 263 and the total number of balls winning in the second starting port 64b counted by the first counter 263b , The total number of balls winning in the first normal winning opening 63a counted by the normal counter 263c, the total number of balls winning in the second normal winning opening 63b counted by the normal counter 263d, The total number of balls won in the large winning opening 65a counted by the mouth counter 263e is additionally recorded in the second reading memory 264. As a result, there is no risk of losing the winnings on each winning opening that has been determined that the power is turned off from the timing (trigger) at which the recording was performed to the second reading memory 264 most recently. The total number of balls can be recorded in the second reading memory 264 for each winning opening.

  In the subsequent S742 to S744, the same processing (see FIG. 21) as that of S742 to S744 in the character item ratio calculation processing of the first embodiment is executed, and the winning information storage processing is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 30, an inspection result output process executed by the CPU 261 in the accessory ratio management chip 207 in the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing this inspection result output process. This inspection result output process is executed based on the interrupt signal input to the CPU 261 when the connector of the cable connecting the inspection device 300 is inserted into the inspection terminal 207a, as in the first embodiment. In the inspection result output process, the data of the second reading memory 264 is output to the inspection device 300.

  When the inspection result output process in the second embodiment is executed, first, the winning balls number table 202e set in the winning balls number data setting area 265a is output to the testing device 300 (S771). Next, all the information indicating the total number of winning balls in each winning opening recorded in the winning counter data 264e is recorded time, together with the time when the information is recorded in the second reading memory 264, associated with each information. Output to the inspection apparatus 300 in order from the oldest information (S772). In S753 and S754 executed subsequently to the process of S772, the same process as S753 and S754 of the inspection result output process of the first embodiment is executed, and the inspection result output process is ended.

  The inspection apparatus 300 calculates the bonus item ratio and the continuous product ratio based on the information indicating the total number of balls won in each winning opening output in S772 and the winning ball number table 202e output in S771. And analyze the calculated character ratio and continuous character ratio. Then, if the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are high by the analysis by the inspection device 300, the cause is searched based on the information on the number of balls fired to the game area and the information on the game state. be able to. Further, in the process of S772, the information indicating the total number of winning balls in each winning opening is output in order from the old time, so that the inspection apparatus 300 analyzes each information in the output order. It is possible to easily analyze changes in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio with the passage of time.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment, each time the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f stored in the trigger setting area 265b is reached in the accessory ratio management chip 207, The values of the counters 263a to 263e, which are stored in the first reading memory 263 and count the total number of balls won for each winning opening, are sequentially recorded in the winning counter data 264e of the second reading memory 264. Then, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the information indicating the total number of winning balls for each winning opening recorded in the winning counter data 264e of the second reading memory 264 is the winning ball number table 202e. Together with this, it is transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the second embodiment, the total number of balls obtained in the corresponding winning openings is obtained for each of the winning openings and recorded in the second reading memory 264. Therefore, the storage capacity required for the second reading memory 264 is larger than that in the case where the bonus item ratio and the continuous winning item ratio calculated as in the first embodiment are recorded in the second reading memory 264, but the examination Since the total number of winning balls for each winning opening is transmitted to the device 300, if there is a large change in the combination ratio or the continuous combination ratio as a result of analysis by the inspection device 300, the inspection device 300 By referring to the total number of winning balls for each winning opening, the cause can be grasped more accurately.

  Further, the information indicating the total number of balls awarded to each winning opening transmitted to inspection device 300 is transmitted to inspection device 300 in association with the time when the information was recorded in second reading memory 264. Ru. Therefore, as a result of analyzing the symbol ratio and the continuous symbol ratio based on the information indicating the total number of balls winning in each winning opening in the inspection apparatus 300, there is a large change in the symbol ratio or the continuous symbol ratio The time at which the second reading memory 264 has recorded the total number of balls that have won in each winning opening used to calculate the character ratio or the continuous character ratio that has changed is specified, and around that time, By analyzing the total number of balls won in each winning opening, the total number of balls fired in the game area, or the game state, it is possible to find out the cause of the change in the item ratio or the continuous product ratio.

  Besides, the same configuration as the configuration of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment can achieve the same effect as the effect obtained by the configuration.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 31 to 34, a pachinko machine 10 according to a third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described.

That is, when looking at the back side of the pachinko machine 10, it is assembled so that the display screen of the duty ratio display device 400 can be seen. The display screen of the duty ratio display device 400 may be assembled so that it can be viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine 10.

  The duty ratio display device 400 displays a character ratio, a continuous character ratio, or information (for example, a base value or the like) related to the character ratio or the continuous character ratio. For example, the information indicating the total number of balls paid out by winning may be information for each winning opening, or all winning The total number of balls paid out by winning in the mouth, the total number of balls paid out by winning in the winning opening (the second starting opening 64b and the big winning opening 65a) where the prize works, and the prize is continuous It may be information indicating the total number of balls paid out by the winning of the winning opening (large winning opening 65a) activated. Further, information indicating the total number of balls fired in the game area (number of fired balls) may be included in the information on the feature ratio and the continuous feature ratio displayed on the duty ratio display device 400. The duty ratio display device 400 includes a liquid crystal display having a predetermined number of pixels, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, etc. Information related to the feature ratio or the continuous feature ratio may be displayed.

  The MPU 201 includes a ROM 202 and a RAM 203 and has a plurality of registers 200 for storing various data in a layer closest to an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) which is the heart of the MPU 201. A plurality of registers 200 are used generically in various situations without having a specific purpose, such as temporarily holding a value in the middle of operation or storing an address of a memory necessary for processing. It includes various registers such as general-purpose registers and accumulator registers for accumulating and summing operation results of the ALU.

  The plurality of registers 200 also include a flag register 200a (also referred to as a status register or the like) configured of a flag indicating overflow due to ALU operation, a flag indicating an interrupt state, and the like. Due to the nature of the register, the content of the flag register 200a can be updated each time an instruction is executed.

  The RAM 203 is provided with an in-use area 203x and an out-of-use area 203y, each of which includes a work area (inside work area 203x1, outside work area 203y1) and a stack area (inside stack area 203x2 and outside stack area 203y2). And are provided.

  In this case, when the MPU 201 performs main control of the game while the MPU 201 performs management of information related to the feature ratio, various counters and various counters used for main control of the game are stored in the RAM 203. This is because it is necessary to prevent data from being erroneously destroyed by various counters and data which are stored in the RAM 203 and used to manage information on the character / object ratio. That is, various counters and data used for main control of the game must be protected with priority in order to protect the interests of the player. In addition, the data saved in the stack area of the RAM 203 when performing the main control of the game also continues the main control of the game again without any problem after the processing related to the management of the information related to the feature ratio is performed along the way You must make sure that they are protected.

  Therefore, the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 stores various counters and data used for main control of the game in the internal work area 203x1 of the in-use area 203x, and also performs the main control of the game. The data to be saved is saved in the inner stack area 203x2 of the in-use area 203x. On the other hand, the MPU 201 stores various counters and data used to manage information related to the item ratio in the outside work area 203y1 of the out-of-use area 203y, and also manages the information related to the item ratio in the stack area. The data to be saved is saved in the outside stack area 203y2 of the out-of-use area 203y. This makes it possible to reliably protect various counters and data used for main control of the game and data saved in the stack area when the control is performed.

  Next, referring to FIG. 32, it is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 in the third embodiment. The timer interrupt process is a periodic process that is repeatedly executed, for example, every 4 milliseconds. As the MPU 201 executes this timer interrupt process, various processes to be performed periodically are performed.

  In the timer interrupt process, first, a game process is performed to perform main control of the game (S2001). For example, the processing of S101 to S111 and the like of the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 10) executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 described in the first embodiment is executed in the processing of S2001. That is, the main control of the game includes the lottery of the big hit, the setting of the variable display, the opening and closing control of the big winning opening (large opening) 65a at the time of big hit, the winning lottery of the second symbol display device 83, etc. . As described above, the MPU 201 uses the in-use area 203x (the internal work area 203x1 and the internal stack area 203x2) in the RAM 203 while executing the process of S2001.

  Next, a duty ratio process is performed to manage information related to the duty ratio (S2002). The details of the duty ratio process will be described later with reference to FIG. After the process of S2002, the timer interrupt process is ended.

  As described above, in the timer interrupt process of the present embodiment, the game process is performed first, and then, by performing the duty ratio process, the main control of the game, which is an important control, is preferentially executed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 33, the details of the duty ratio process (S2002) executed in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 32) will be described. FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing the duty ratio process. In this duty ratio processing, first, an interrupt is prohibited (S2011), and then the flag register 200a is saved to the inner stack area 203x2 by the PUSH instruction (S2012), and then the subroutine main processing is executed by the CALL instruction. The subroutine program to be read out is read out, and the main processing is executed (S2013). Details of the combination main process will be described later with reference to FIG. Note that at the stage of the processing of S2011 and S2012, the MPU 201 executes the processing using the in-use area 203x of the RAM 203.

  When the processing of S2013 ends and returns from the subroutine program of the combination main processing to this combination processing, the flag register 200a saved in the inner stack area 203x2 is then restored by the POP instruction (S2015), In step S2016, the combination processing is ended. Also in the processing of S2015 and S2016, the MPU 201 executes processing using the in-use area 203x of the RAM 203.

  In the process of S2012, the flag register 200a is saved to the inner work area 200x1 using a load (LD) instruction, and saved to the inner work area 200x1 using the load (LD) instruction in the process of S2014. The flag register 200a may be restored.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 34, the details of the main processing (S2013) to be executed by reading out the subroutine program in the processing (S2002) (see FIG. 33) will be described. FIG. 34 is a flow chart showing the main processing of the winning combination.

  In the duty ratio main processing, first, the load (LD) instruction sets the stack pointer (not shown) of the MPU 201 to the start position of the outer stack area 203y2 (S2021). As a result, data is saved to the outer stack area 203y2 in the subsequent processing. After this processing, the MPU 201 uses the outside work area 203y1 as a work area of the RAM 203. That is, the MPU 201 stores various counters and data using the external work area 203y1, and uses the external stack area 203y2 as necessary.

  Next, of the registers 200, the load (LD) instruction is used to individually set the registers 200 (except for the flag register 200a) used in the processing relating to the character ratio to each of the outside work area 203y1. It is evacuated (S2022). Then, the processing relating to the item ratio is executed (S2023).

  In the process of S2023, for example, in the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the same process as the bonus ratio management main process (see FIG. 18) executed by the CPU 261 of the bonus ratio management chip 207 is executed. Also, a process of controlling the display of the duty ratio display device 400 is executed. In addition, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the inspection result output process executed by the CPU 261 of the accessory ratio management chip 207 of the first embodiment or the second embodiment (see FIGS. 22 and 30). The same processing as in the above may be performed in the processing of S2023.

  When the process of S2023 ends, next, the stack pointer (not shown) of the MPU 201 is set to a fixed address in the inner stack area 203x2 by a load (LD) instruction (S2024). As a result, in the subsequent processing, data is again started to the inner stack area 203x2.

  Here, in the part ratio processing (S2002) in which the part ratio main processing (S2013) is executed, one game processing (S2001) for executing main control of the game in the timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. It will be done after finishing. The timer interrupt process is read out when the counter update process (S702 to S703) is not executed in the infinite loop (loop of S701 to S703) of the main process (FIG. 17) executed by the MPU 201. And run.

  Therefore, when the process of S2024 is executed, the inner stack area 203x2 includes the data saved when shifting from the main process to the timer interrupt process and the flag register 200a saved by the process of S2012. The number of data saved is fixed (however, it does not exist in the inner stack area 203x2 when the flag register 200a is saved in the inner work area 200x1 by a load instruction), and the number of the saved data is fixed. Therefore, when the stack pointer is designated at a position stacked in the inner stack area 203x2 in the process of S2012, the location can be surely designated only by setting the fixed address to the stack pointer. Then, before the stack pointer is shifted from the inner stack area 203x2 to the outer stack area 203y2 (before the process of S2012), the value of the stack pointer indicating the inside of the inner stack area 203x2 need not be saved. It is possible to suppress an increase in the capacity of the RAM 203 for the saving.

  Next, the values of the respective registers 200 saved individually in the determined area of the external work area 203y1 by the process of S2022 are respectively determined from the determined area of the external work area 203y1 corresponding to the load (LD) instruction. By reading out and setting in the corresponding register 200, recovery is performed (S2025). Then, after the processing of S2025, the combination main processing is ended, and the processing returns to the combination processing. Further, after the process of S2025 is completed, the MPU 201 uses the internal work area 203x1 as a work area of the RAM 203. That is, the MPU 201 stores various counters and data using the internal work area 203x1, and uses the internal stack area 203x2 as needed.

  As described above, the MPU 201 executes each processing using the out-of-use area 203 y (the outside work area 203 y 1 and the outside stack area 203 y 2) when executing the processing (S 2023) related to the character item ratio. At the stage of transition to the processing of S2023 using the out-of-area area 203y, among the registers 200 provided in the MPU 201, the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the item ratio are saved individually to the outside work area 203y1 of the RAM 203 Do. Then, before the process of S2023 ends and the MPU 201 returns to the process of using the in-use area 203x, the registers 200 saved in the outside work area 203y1 are restored to the corresponding registers 200 respectively. Thereafter, a game process is performed which performs main control of the game using the in-use area 203x (the inner work area 203x1 and the inner stack area 203x2).

  Here, from the game processing which performs the main control of the game which uses the use area area 203x, the processing concerning the property ratio which uses the use area outside area 203y is done, the game which uses the use area area 203x again In the case of returning to the game processing that performs the main control of the game, the game of performing the main control of the game from the protection of the player's profit and that the main control of the game must be continued without problems again. The process should not be affected by the process related to the feature ratio. Therefore, the RAM 203 is divided into an in-use area 203 x used for processing of main control of the game and an out-of-use area 203 y used for processing related to the feature ratio. However, since the register 200 has a smaller capacity than the RAM 203, and there is also a register 200 for which the purpose of use is specified, the register 200 is used for the main control processing of the game and the processing for the item ratio. It is impossible or difficult to separate

  In addition, before and after performing processing related to the ratio of goods, in other words, from the game processing to perform the main control of the game using the area of use area 203x to the processing related to the ratio of goods used area out of the area of use 203y The content of the register 200 is made the same in the step of performing and the transition from processing relating to the property ratio using the non-in-use area 203y to gaming processing performing main control of the game using the in-use area 203x. Thus, there is also a demand for ensuring that the game processing that performs the main control of the game is not affected by the processing related to the feature ratio executed between the two.

  On the other hand, before performing processing relating to the item ratio using the non-use area 203 y, the contents of all the registers 200 are collectively saved in the outer stack area 203 y 2 using a PUSH instruction, and processing relating to the item ratio is performed. It is also conceivable to restore all the registers 200 collectively from the outer stack area 203y2 using the POP instruction after the execution. However, in this case, in order to save the contents of all the registers 200, the capacity of the outer stack area 203y2 needs to be set large beforehand, and the capacity of the outer work area 200y1 is reduced or the RAM 203 is set to a large capacity. You have to

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the MPU 201 is provided in the case of shifting from the game processing that mainly controls the game using the in-use area 203x to the processing related to the character ratio using the out-of-use area 203y. Of the registered registers 200, the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the item ratio are saved individually to the outside work area 203y1 of the RAM 203, and after the processing relating to the ratio processing is executed, the non-use area 203y is When transitioning (returning) to processing for performing main control of a game using the use area area 203x from processing relating to the used item ratio, the registers 200 evacuated to the outside work area 203y1 are individually restored. In this way, from the game processing which performs the main control of the game using the use area area 203x to the processing concerning the character and article ratio using the use area outside area 203y, the role using the use area outside area 203y Since the contents of the register 200 can be made the same at the stage of transition from the processing relating to the object ratio to the game processing that performs the main control of the game using the in-use area 203x, the game that performs the main control of the game It can be ensured that the process is not affected by the process related to the feature ratio performed between the two.

  In addition, from the game processing which performs the main control of the game which uses the use area inside area 203x, the stage which it moves to the processing regarding the feature ratio which uses the use area outside area 203y, the goods which use the use area outside area 203y At the stage of transition from processing for the ratio to gaming processing that performs main control of the game using the in-use area 203x, instead of saving / restoring the contents of all the registers 200, processing for the character ratio Since the contents of only some of the registers 200 used are saved / restored, the capacity of the RAM 203 (outside work area 203y1) necessary to save the contents of the registers can be suppressed. Therefore, the capacity of the RAM 203 can be reduced, and a large area for storing other data can be secured in the external work area 203y1.

  The register 200 which is not used in the processing relating to the item ratio is not affected by the processing relating to the item ratio in the first place, and its contents continue to be held before and after execution of the processing relating to the object ratio. Therefore, without saving / restoring the content of the register 200 which is not used in the processing relating to the item ratio, it is possible to save / restore only the content of only a part of the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the symbol ratio. It is possible to ensure that the game processing that performs the main control of the game is not affected by the processing related to the feature ratio executed between the two.

  However, since the flag register 200a is a register used for all instructions executed by the MPU 201, it naturally becomes a register also used for processing related to the character ratio, but in the processing of S2022, the flag register 200a is used. Exceptionally did not save. This is because the content of the flag register 200a is changed only by reading out the main processing (S2013) in the processing of the ratio shown in FIG. This is because the value of the flag register at the end of the game processing when playing can not be saved at the stage of the processing of S2022.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, only the flag register 200a is saved to the inner stack area 203x2 before reading out the main processing (S2013) in the main processing (S2013) shown in FIG. 33, and after the main processing (S2013) ends. , Only the flag register 200a is restored from the inner stack area 203x2. Thus, the value of the flag register at the end of the game processing can be reliably restored after execution of the processing relating to the accessory ratio.

  In addition, from the game processing which performs the main control of the game which uses the use area inside area 203x, the stage which it moves to the processing regarding the feature ratio which uses the use area outside area 203y, the goods which use the use area outside area 203y Since the saving / restoring of the register 200 is performed separately for each individual register at the stage of transition from the processing relating to the ratio to the game processing that performs main control of the game using the in-use area 203x, Only the register 200 that needs to be saved / restored (ie, used for processing related to the character ratio) in order to ensure that the main processing game processing that performs the main control is not affected by the processing related to the character ratio performed between the two (Register 200 only) can be individually designated to perform saving / restoring.

  Further, since the register 200 is evacuated not to the outer stack area 203y2 but to the outer work area 203y1, the capacity required for the outer stack area 203y2 can be reduced and a large capacity of the outer work area 203y1 can be secured. Further, some MPUs 201 pre-specify the stack area and the work area according to the model (type). Such MPU 201 has a function of clearing (initializing to 0) the contents of the RAM 203 itself when data is further saved and stacked beyond the area of the pre-specified stack area. is there. On the other hand, evacuating the register 200 not to the outer stack area 203y2 but to the outer work area 203y1 can prevent the outer stack area 203y2 from being full with data immediately stacked. Therefore, in the MPU 201 having such a function, it is possible to suppress that the RAM 203 is cleared because the data is further stacked beyond the previously designated area of the outer stack area 203y2.

  Also, since the register 200 is saved using the load (LD) instruction rather than using the PUSH instruction / POP instruction, the location to be saved can be fixed by the program. Therefore, while performing the processing relating to the property ratio, the game is performed to perform main control of the game by setting a program to use the outside work area 203y1 while avoiding the area where the register 200 is evacuated clearly The contents of the register 200 used in the process can be protected securely.

  When all the registers 200 are used in the processing related to the item ratio, all the registers 200 are saved / restored to the determined area of the outside work area 203y1 individually using the load (LD) instruction. You may make it Also by this, it is possible to receive the effect of evacuating the register 200 to the outside work area 200y1.

  Also, when a part of the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the item ratio is saved, the PUSH instruction is used to save individually to the determined area of the outer stack area 203y2, and the outer stack area 203y2 is determined. The registers 200 saved in the above area may be restored individually using a POP instruction. Thus, the capacity of the RAM 203 required to save the contents of the register can be suppressed. Therefore, the capacity of the RAM 203 can be reduced, and a large area for storing the external work area 203y1 can be secured. In this case, when the register 200 saved using the POP instruction is restored, the LIFO method, that is, the register 200 saved later using the PUSH instruction needs to be restored first using the POP instruction. .

  In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first and second embodiments can achieve the same effect as the effect obtained by the configuration.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 35 and 36, a pachinko machine 10 according to a fourth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment, in the main control device 110, from the game processing which performs the main control of the game using the area 203x of use area to a process related to the character ratio using non-use area 203y At the stage of processing, the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the item ratio are individually saved, and after the processing relating to the item ratio ends, the processing relating to the item ratio using the out-of-use area 203 At the stage of transition to the game processing for performing main control of the game using the area 203x, the case where the evacuated register 200 is individually restored has been described. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment, the main control apparatus 110 uses the in-use area 203 x in the accessory processing (S2002) executed in the timer interrupt processing (FIG. 32). At the stage of reading an item main process (S2013) for executing a process relating to the item ratio using the out-of-use area 203y by the CALL instruction while executing the process, the register 200 used in the process relating to the item ratio. Are individually cleared to 0, and the character main process (S2013) is read by the CALL instruction. Further, in the character main processing (S2013), the character main processing (S2013) using the out-of-use area 203y is ended, and processing returns to the processing using the in-use area 203x After individually clearing the registers 200 used in step 0 to 0, the processing returns to the duty ratio processing.

  Hereinafter, the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment, the same components and processes as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to third embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to third embodiments. I omit explanation.

  The pachinko machine 10 according to the fourth embodiment is compared with the pachinko machine 10 according to the third embodiment in the ratio processing (S2002), which is one of the timer interrupt processing executed by the MPU 201 of the main control device 110. The partial processing differs from the partial processing of the main processing (S2013), which is one of the processing of the processing (S2002).

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing a duty ratio process (S2002) in the fourth embodiment. In this combination ratio processing, first, after performing the same processing of S2011 and S2012 as the third embodiment, then all the registers 200 used in the processing related to the combination ratio (except for the flag register 200a) Clear to 0 using Load (LD) instructions individually. Then, the process shifts to the processing of S2013, reads a subroutine program that executes the main processing of the weight ratio using the out-of-use area 203y by the CALL instruction, and executes the main processing of the weight ratio. Then, the processing of S2014, S2015 identical to that of the third embodiment is executed, and thereafter the combination processing is ended.

  Next, FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the main processing (S2013) of the duty ratio main processing according to the fourth embodiment. In this combination main process, first, the process of S2021 identical to that of the third embodiment is executed, and then, after the process of S2023 identical to that of the third embodiment (that is, the process related to the bonus ratio) is executed. Next, the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the item ratio are individually cleared to 0 (S2041). Then, the same processing of S2024 as the third embodiment is executed, and the main processing of the winning ratio using the out-of-use area 203y is ended, and the processing returns to the winning ratio processing and uses the in-use area 203x. Run.

  In the fourth embodiment, in the register 200 used in the processing related to the accessory ratio using the out-of-use area 203y, the value is changed by the processing related to the accessory ratio, and the value is left as it is in the corresponding register 200. However, it is premised that even if the MPU 201 executes game processing that performs main control of a game using the use area in the use area 203x, the game processing is not affected at all. In this case, the MPU 201 is originally provided in the MPU 201 at the stage of transition from processing for performing main control of the game using the in-use area 203x to processing for the bonus ratio for using the out-of-use area 203y. Of the registers 200, after the register 200 used in the processing relating to the accessory ratio is evacuated and the processing relating to the accessory ratio is executed, the processing relating to the accessory ratio using the out-of-use area 203y There is no problem even if the saved register 200 is not restored at the stage of transition to the game processing that performs main control of the game using the area 203x. However, in this case, since the value of the register 200 changes before and after the processing related to the feature ratio, it is impossible for an external person to judge whether or not there is really a problem with this.

  Therefore, as in the present embodiment, first, in the part ratio process, from the game processing that performs the main control of the game using the in-use area within the use area 203x to the process regarding the bonus ratio using the out-of-use area 203y Prior to reading out the subroutine program that executes the main processing in the CALL step, ie, all the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the proportion of the work to be performed in the main processing of the combination are individually executed once. Clear to And, in the part ratio main processing, after executing the processing concerning the character item ratio, the game processing which performs the main control of the game which uses the use area internal area 203x from the processing concerning the character object ratio which uses the non-use area area 203y In the transition to the step, all registers 200 used in the processing related to the item ratio (that is, the same register 200 as the register 200 cleared to 0 before executing the ratio main processing) are individually set to 0. clear. Thereby, the step of shifting from the game processing which performs the main control of the game using the in-use area 203x to the process related to the property ratio using the out-of-use area 203y (the step of reading out the main process). Transitioning from processing relating to the property ratio using the non-use area 203 y to gaming processing performing main control of the game using the in-use area 203 x (step of returning from main ratio processing to main ratio processing) Thus, the contents of the register 200 can be made identical at first glance. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the game processing that performs the main control of the game is not affected by the processing related to the feature ratio executed between the two. Note that the register 200 not used in the processing related to the character ratio does not change in content before and after the processing related to the character ratio and continues to be held, so even if this unused register 200 is not cleared to 0, It becomes the same at both stages.

  Here, in the fourth embodiment, in the processing of S2031 and S2041, the case where the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the character item ratio are individually cleared to 0 has been described, but it is not necessary to necessarily clear to 0. For example, even if the same predetermined value is stored in the processes of S2031 and S2041, the above effect can be obtained. However, immediately after the power is turned on and the reset input to the MPU 201 is released (at a stage where software initialization is not performed), S2031 and S2041 are performed in view of the fact that all the registers are initialized to 0. In the processing of the above, it is desirable to individually clear (initialize) the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the item ratio to zero. Also, by individually clearing the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the item ratio to 0, it can be grasped at first glance that the registers 200 are cleared to 0.

  In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to third embodiments can achieve the same effect as the effect obtained by the configuration.

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 of a fifth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. In the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, instead of the duty ratio display device 400 provided in the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment or the fourth embodiment, four seven-segment displays (the lower right of the seven-segment portion A base display device 401 (see FIG. 38A) is provided which includes dot segments 401a, 401b, 401c, and 401d provided on the side. The base value of the pachinko machine 10 is displayed on the base display device 401 as one of the information related to the item ratio.

  The base value is the number (percentage) of the balls paid out (raised) for 100 balls at normal times except when the jackpot, the high probability (certain variation), and the time reduction are performed. In the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, the number of out balls guided from the game area to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls shot into the game area, in other words, the number of balls used in the game). The base value for the 60000 spheres is measured and stored each time the total number of outs is 60000.

  Then, in the base display device 401, the base value (hereinafter referred to as "real-time base value") measured in real time during the period until the total number of outs reaches 60000, and the total number of outs in the last time (closest) In addition to the base value measured when 60000 reached (hereinafter referred to as “previous base value”), and when the total number of outs reached 60000 before the previous one (previous time) Base value (hereinafter referred to as “previous base value”) and the base value measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 before (previous time) one time before (previous time) The term “rotation base value” is switched and displayed every predetermined period (5 seconds in the present embodiment). By displaying base values (previous base value, last-previous base value, last-previous base value) for multiple past times in addition to the real-time base value, it is possible to more accurately determine whether or not there has been a fraud. In addition, it is possible to predict, to some extent, the time when the fraud has occurred.

  In the fifth embodiment, every time the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 immediately after the power on. Is turned on for a predetermined period (5 seconds in the present embodiment). In the base display device 401, if a part of the segments is not lit due to a failure such as a break, the base value etc. can not be displayed correctly, and there is a possibility that an erroneous judgment may be made in judging the presence or absence of fraud. By lighting all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 for a predetermined period each time the power is turned on, it can be confirmed whether all the segments can be normally lit, and the base display device Whether or not the display of 401 is normally performed can be easily determined.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment is a novelty of the pachinko machine 10 at the time of completely new launch of the pachinko machine 10 in a manufacturing plant, or when moving a used pachinko machine 10 to another hole with a used table. When starting up, the display of the base display device 401 until the total number of out reaches a predetermined number (300 in the present embodiment) is displayed in a special display mode different from the normal base value display. . In the new launch of the pachinko machine 10, there are cases where balls are put in each winning hole and a prize ball is paid out in a shipping inspection or the like for quality confirmation of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, the base value at this time greatly differs from the actual base value of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, when the pachinko machine 10 is newly launched, the display of the base display device 401 until the total number of outs reaches the predetermined number (300 in the present embodiment) at first is the normal base value display. By displaying in different special display modes, it can be shown that the displayed base value is not a normal base value. In addition, by the display being performed, it can be suggested that the pachinko machine 10 is in a newly launched state.

  Hereinafter, the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the first to fourth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, the same components and processes as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to fourth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to fourth embodiments. I omit explanation.

  FIG. 37 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment. The pachinko machine 10 according to the fifth embodiment is different from the pachinko machine 10 according to the third embodiment in that, in the third embodiment, the duty ratio display device 400 is connected to the main control device 110; In the embodiment, the base display device 401 can be connected to the main controller 110. The base display device 401 is for displaying the base value of the pachinko machine 10 as described above.

  The base value of the pachinko machine 10 may be switched and displayed for each predetermined period together with the character ratio of the pachinko machine 10 in the duty ratio display device 400 in the third embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, the inspection terminal 207 a is not necessarily provided, and the configuration relating to the item ratio to the inspection device 300 may not be output. Further, when the information on the item ratio is not output to the inspection apparatus 300, the second reading memory 264 may be omitted.

  Here, the details of the base display device 401 will be described with reference to FIG. First, FIG. 38A is a schematic view schematically showing the base display device 401. As shown in FIG. In the base display device 401, four 7-segment displays 401a to 401d are arranged side by side in a horizontal row, and are disposed on a main substrate constituting the main control device 110. That is, when looking at the back side of the pachinko machine 10, it is assembled so that the display screen of the base display device 401 can be seen, and four-digit numbers or alphabets can be confirmed. The display screen of the base display device 401 may be assembled so that it can be seen from the front side of the pachinko machine 10.

  Each of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d has a dot segment provided on the lower right side of the 7-segment part in addition to the 7-segment part. The base display device 401 uses the two left seven-segment displays 401a and 401b as identification segments among the four seven-segment displays 401a to 401d and the two right seven-segment displays 401c and 401d as a ratio segment Do. The identification segment is used to indicate identification information for identifying the content to be displayed in the ratio segment. The ratio segment is used to display the ratio of the content specified by the identification information indicated by the identification segment.

  FIG. 38B is a schematic view schematically showing display contents in the base display device 401. As shown in FIG. As described above, in the base display device 401, the real-time base value measured in real time during the period until the total number of out reaches 60000 and the total number of out in the last time (most recently) reaches 60000 The last base value measured to the last and the last second base value measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 before the last time (previous time), and one before the last time (prev. And the base value measured when the total number of outs reaches 60000 is switched every 5 seconds and displayed.

  When displaying the real-time base value on the base display device 401, “bL.” Is displayed on the identification segment, and the real-time base value being measured is displayed on the ratio segment in two digits. By displaying “bL.” In the identification segment, it is possible to make a person who sees that the number displayed in the ratio segment is the real-time base value.

  In the base display device 401, when displaying the previous base value, “b1.” Is displayed on the identification segment, and the previous base value is displayed on the ratio segment in two digits. By displaying “b1.” In the identification segment, it is possible to allow a person who saw that the number displayed in the ratio segment to be the last base value to be recognized.

  In the base display device 401, when the base value is displayed twice before, “b2.” Is displayed in the identification segment, and the base value is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment. By displaying “b2.” In the identification segment, it is possible to make a person who sees that the number displayed in the ratio segment is the base value of the previous two times.

  In the base display device 401, when the base value is displayed twice before the last, “b3.” Is displayed in the identification segment, and the base value is displayed in the second digit in the ratio segment. By displaying “b3.” In the identification segment, it is possible to allow a person who sees that the number displayed in the ratio segment to have a base value.

  As described above, the base display device 401 also displays base values (previous base value, last-previous base value, last-previous base value) for a plurality of past times in addition to the real-time base value. Here, as described above, the real time base value is a base value measured in real time during a period until the total number of outs reaches 60000. Here, generally, in the hall, about one thousand to twenty thousand balls are hit per day to one pachinko machine 10 to play a game. That is, the previous base value measured for 60000 spheres, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value indicate base values over several days of about 3 to 6 days. Assuming that the real-time base value is not displayed on the base display device 401, it takes about 3 to 6 days before the measurement of the base value for 60000 spheres is performed. It may be a base value of 3 to 6 days ago. Therefore, if there is any wrongdoing after the previous measurement of the base value, the base value for the next 60000 spheres is measured and displayed on the base display device 401 for 3 to 6 days. There is a risk that fraud can not be found. On the other hand, by displaying the real-time base value on the base display device 401, it is possible to show the current base value as a preliminary value, so that in the case of any fraudulent activity, the real-time base value is immediately You can discover the possibility that there was an action.

  On the other hand, as described above, the real-time base value is a base value measured in real time with the total number of outs being less than 60000. The base value is, as described above, the number (percentage) of balls that are paid out (raised) for 100 balls at normal times, so the game state of the pachinko machine 10 changes in any way The real-time base value may be fluctuated due to the light (for example, the normal state happened to last for a long time, the big hit state happened to happen frequently, the definite change happened to happen for a long time, etc.). Therefore, when only the real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401, it may be difficult to determine whether or not there is a fraudulent act.

  On the other hand, since the previous base value measured for 60000 spheres, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value show base values over several days of about 3 to 6 days, The last base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value can be averaged regardless of what gaming state the pachinko machine 10 has followed for the corresponding several days. Therefore, by displaying not only the real-time base value but also the base value measured for 60000 spheres such as the previous base value on the base display device 401, it is possible to judge the presence or absence of the fraud more accurately. it can.

  On the other hand, when only the previous base value is displayed as the base value measured for 60000 balls, it is assumed that the player who happened to be accustomed to the pachinko machine 10 played during the period when the previous base value was measured. Then, the base value is generally lowered. Therefore, even when only the real-time base value and the previous base value are displayed on the base display device 401, it may be difficult to determine whether or not there is a fraud. On the other hand, each base value can be displayed by displaying not only the previous base value but also a plurality of base values such as the last-previous base value and the last-previous base value as the base values measured for 60000 spheres. , It can be determined whether or not there has been a change in the base value based on the familiarity of the player who played the game. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately determine the presence or absence of the wrongdoing.

  In the present embodiment, in the base display device 401, the real time base value, the previous base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value are switched every 5 seconds and displayed, for example, the number of 7-segment displays The mode in which the real-time base value and the previous base value are simultaneously displayed and the mode in which the base value and base point are displayed simultaneously may be switched and displayed at predetermined intervals. In addition, the real time base value, the previous base value, the last second base value, and the last second each base value may be displayed on the base display device 401 simultaneously.

  Further, in the present embodiment, three values of the last base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value are displayed as the base values measured for 60000 spheres to be displayed on the base display device 401. However, in addition to the last base value, the last second base value, and the last second base value, the second base value and the last second base value may be displayed. It is also possible to further display the base value before each other, which was measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 before one (previously). That is, any two or more base values may be displayed as the base values measured for 60000 spheres to be displayed on the base display device 401.

  Returning to FIG. 37, the description will be continued. The base display device 401 is connected to a base display device control circuit 402 provided in the main controller 110 and connected to the input / output port 205. The base display device control circuit 402 drives and controls each of the 7-segment displays 401 a to 401 d of the base display device 401 based on the drive and control signals from the MPU 201 to make various types as shown in FIG. It is what displays.

  In the process for displaying the base value on the base display device 401, the process is performed using the out-of-use area 203y of the RAM 203. That is, the information necessary for displaying the base value on the base display device 401 is stored in the outside work area 203y1 of the out-of-use area 203y. Here, with reference to FIG. 39, details of information necessary for causing the base display device 401 to display the base value, which are stored in the external work area 203y1, will be described. First, FIG. 39A is a schematic view schematically showing information necessary for displaying a base value, which is stored in the outside work area 203y1 of the RAM 203. As shown in FIG.

  The information necessary for displaying the base value stored in the outside work area 203y1 includes the total out number counter 203j, the low probability payout number counter 203k, the real time base value data 203l, the previous base value data 203m, and the last two base value data 203n, base value data 203o, the new start flag 203p, and the display type counter 203q are prepared at least.

  Among them, the total out number counter 203j, the low probability payout number counter 203k, the real time base value data 203l, the last base value data 203m, the last second base value data 203n, the last second base value data 203o, and the new start flag 203p Even when the power is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is operated, the information is maintained without being initialized (cleared). Thereby, even if the RAM erase switch 122 is operated at the time of power on, the measurement of the real-time base value performed before the operation is continued is continued, and the measured real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401 It can be done. In addition, the base display device 401 can display the previous base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value held before the operation of the RAM erase switch 122 is performed.

  On the other hand, in the fifth embodiment, the RAM all erase switch (not shown) is provided in the substrate box 100 in which the main substrate is accommodated, and the power is turned on while the RAM all erase switch is operated. RAM 203 includes total out number counter 203j, low probability payout number counter 203k, real time base value data 203l, last base value data 203m, last second base value data 203n, last second every base value data 203o, new start flag 203p It is supposed to be initialized (cleared). Operate the RAM all-erase switch when newly launching the pachinko machine 10, such as when completely pachinko machine 10 is newly launched in a manufacturing plant, or when moving a used pachinko machine 10 to a different hole as a second-hand table While turning on the power, total out number counter 203j, low probability payout number counter 203k, real time base value data 203l, last base value data 203m, last second base value data 203n, last every second base value data 203o, new The start-up flag 203p can be initialized, and from there, measurement of the base value can be newly started. In addition, even when moving used pachinko machine 10 to a second hall as a second-hand table, this information can be initialized (cleared), so that an illegal act is performed in the previous hall and the base value Even if is changed, by continuously displaying the information at the next store, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the suspicion that there was a fraud in the next store. Further, since the RAM all erase switch is provided in the unopened connected substrate box 100, it can not be operated unless the connection of the substrate box 100 is broken and opened. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fraudster from erasing the information necessary to display the base value, and to securely protect the information.

  It should be noted that a hole such as a keyhole is provided instead of the RAM all erase switch, and the total out number counter 203j, the low probability payout number counter 203k, and the real time base value data 203l are provided only when a key or the like matching the hole is inserted. The last base value data 203m, the last second base value data 203n, the last second each base value data 203o, and the new start flag 203p may be initialized. As a result, only those having a key or the like that fits the hole can delete the information necessary for displaying the base value, so that the unauthorized person can be prevented from erasing the information necessary for displaying the base value. You can securely protect these information.

  The total out number counter 203 j is a counter for counting the total number of outs, which is the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). The total out number counter 203 j is initialized to zero when the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch, and the ball is guided to the ball discharge path when the ball is detected in the out switch 208 g As 1 is added. Then, when the total out number counter 203j becomes 60000, the MPU 201 determines that the total out number has reached 60000, executes predetermined processing described later, and initially sets the total out number counter 203j to zero. Turn Thus, the total out number is counted again by the total out number counter 203j until the total number of out reaches 60000.

  The low probability payout counter 203 k is a counter for counting the number of prize balls paid out in the normal time except for the big hit, the high probability (probability variation), and the short time. The low probability payout counter 203 k is initialized to zero when the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch. Then, when there is a payout of balls (prize balls) when the gaming state is normal, the number of the balls paid out is added to the low probability payout number counter 203k.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the first start-up port 64a called "heso" whose opening is always open at the normal time, the first ordinary winning port 63a which is a general winning port, and the second ordinary winning port 63b. When it is detected by the first starting opening switch 208a, the first ordinary winning opening switch 208c, and the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d that there is a ball entry, the number of winning balls set for the corresponding winning opening Is determined by the prize ball number table 202e (see FIGS. 6 and 9), and the number of prize balls is added to the low probability payout number counter 203k.

  In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, "small hitting" is provided as one mode of "disengagement", and when it becomes a "small hitting", when it is constituted so that large winning a prize opening 65a may be opened for several seconds and several seconds, gaming state Normally, when the large winning opening 65a in "small hitting" is opened, the large winning opening 65a has a ball, and if a winning ball is made, the number of winning balls is the low payout number counter 203k. May be added to In addition, when the game state is normal and the second starting opening 64b is entered and the winning balls are made, the number of winning balls may be added to the low probability payout number counter 203k.

  The addition of the number of winning balls to the low probability payout counter 203 k is performed by accumulating until the total out counter 203 j reaches 60000. That is, when the total out number counter 203j reaches 60000, the value of the low probability payout number counter 203k is the number of balls paid out at the normal time with respect to 60000 balls punched out to the game area It becomes the number.

  When the total out number counter 203j reaches 60000, the low probability payout number counter 203k is initialized to zero along with the total out number counter 203j. As a result, the number of balls paid out during the normal gaming state is counted by the low probability payout counter 203k until the total number of outs reaches 60000 again.

The MPU 201 calculates a real-time base value every predetermined period (for example, every 4 milliseconds when timer interrupt processing is executed) using the following equation (1).
Real-time base value = value of low-precise payout number counter 203k / value of total-out number counter 203j × 100 (1)
The real-time base value calculated by the equation (1) is stored in the real-time base value data 203l.

  That is, the real time base value data 203l is data indicating the measured (calculated) real time base value. Also, the previous base value data 203m is data showing the previous base value, the last second base value data 203n is the data showing the last second base value, and the last second every base value data 203o is the data showing the last second base value. is there.

  Now, with reference to FIG. 39B, the configurations of the real-time base value data 203l, the previous base value data 203m, the last-previous base value data 203n, and the last-previous base value data 203o will be described. FIG. 39B is a schematic view schematically showing a configuration of each of the base value data 2031 to 203o.

  As shown in FIG. 39 (b), each base value data 203l to 203o is composed of 8 bits (1 byte), and the seventh bit (most significant bit) on the MSB side is a valid data flag, and the rest The base value is stored in the 0th to 6th bits (lower 7 bits) of. Each of the base value data 2031 to 203o means that, when the valid data flag is 1, valid base values are stored in the 0th to 6th bits. On the other hand, each of the base value data 203l to 203o means that when the valid data flag is 0, no valid base value is stored in the 0th to 6th bits.

  The respective base value data 203l to 203o are all initialized to zero both the valid data flag and the base value when the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch. That is, immediately after the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch, no valid data is stored for the real time base value, the previous base value, the last previous base value, and the last second previous base value.

  Thereafter, the base value calculated by the equation (1) is stored in the base value of the real time base value data 203l as the real time base value until the total out number counter 203j reaches 300, while the real time base value data 203l The valid data flag of is left as 0. Then, in this case, when displaying the real time base value in the base display device 401, the identification segment blinks (or lights up) "88." and the ratio of the real time base value stored in the real time base value data 203l is used. Flashes (or lights up) on the segment.

  As described above, the RAM all-erase switch is a new startup of the pachinko machine 10, for example, when the pachinko machine 10 completely starts up in a manufacturing plant or when used pachinko machine 10 is moved to a different hole as a used table. If you want to And, at the new launch of the pachinko machine 10, there are cases where balls are put in each winning hole and a prize ball is paid out in a shipping inspection or the like for checking the quality of the pachinko machine 10 or the like. Therefore, the base value at this time greatly differs from the actual base value of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, when the pachinko machine 10 is newly launched, the display of the base display device 401 until the total number of out reaches 300 is first blinked (or lighted) "88." in the identification segment. In addition, the real-time base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l is displayed in a special display mode different from the usual base value display, displaying the blinking (or lighting) in the ratio segment, the base value being displayed is normal. It can be shown that it is not the base value of (effective base value). In addition, by the display being performed, it can be suggested that the pachinko machine 10 is in a newly launched state. In this special display mode, both the “88.” of the identification segment and the real-time base value of the ratio segment may be turned on or off. Also, "88." of the identification segment may be lighted, and the real-time base value of the ratio segment may blink, or conversely, "88." of the identification segment is blinked, and the real-time base value of the ratio segment is lit. May be

  When the total out number counter 203 j reaches 300, the effective data flag of the real time base value data 203 l is set to 1. As a result, the base value stored in the real time base value data 203l becomes the effective base value. Therefore, based on the fact that the valid data flag of the real time base value data 203l is 1, "bL." Is lit in the identification segment of the base display device 401, and the base value of the real time base value data 203l is displayed in the ratio segment. By doing this, it is possible to report an effective real-time base value.

  On the other hand, at this stage, the valid data flag of the previous time base value data 203m, the second last time base value data 203n, and the last second last time base value data 203o remains zero. At this time, in the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 by switching every predetermined period and displaying the base value of the previous time, the base value of the last time, and the base before the last time, display corresponding to each base value Turn on "-". This makes it possible to indicate that no valid base value has been obtained as the previous base value, the last-previous base value, or the last-previous base.

  When the total out number counter 203j reaches 60000, the base value stored in the real time base value data 203l at that time becomes the base value for the total out number 60000. Therefore, the base value data 203 n is shifted to the base value data 203 o two times before, and the previous base value data 203 m is shifted to the base value data 203 n, and then the real time base value data 203 l is converted to the previous base value data 203 m. Shift. Thus, the base value measured when the total number of outs reaches 60000 is held as the previous base value.

  Here, when the data is shifted to the previous base value data 203m, the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to be shifted is "1", and the valid data flag of the previous base value data 203m after the shift is Also "1". Therefore, after that, when displaying the last base value on the base display device 401, the base value stored in the last base value data 203m is displayed on the ratio segment as a valid base value.

  In addition, when shifting the previous base value data 203m to the base value data 203n before the last time, if the valid data flag of the previous base value data 203m is "1" (the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch This corresponds to the case where the total number of outs reaches the second time to 60000 after all the initialization of the RAM 203 is performed), and the valid data flag of the base value data 203n before shift after shift becomes “1”. Therefore, after that, when displaying the base value on the base display device 401 two times before, the base value stored in the base value data 203 n two times before is displayed on the ratio segment as a valid base value.

  Furthermore, when the base value data 203n is shifted to the base value data 203o just before the previous two times, if the valid data flag of the base value data 203n is “1” (the power supply operates while operating the RAM all erase switch). This is applicable when the total number of outs reaches 60000 3rd time after all initialization of RAM 203 is executed), and the valid data flag of base value data 203o after shift is “1”. It becomes ". Therefore, after this, when displaying the base value on the base display device 401, the base value stored in the base value data 203o is displayed on the ratio segment as a valid base value.

  When the total out number counter 203j becomes 60000 and the real time base value data 203l is shifted to the previous base value data 203m, the total out number counter 203j is initialized to 0, the real time base value data 203l is also It is initialized to 0 including the valid data flag. Then, until the total out number counter 203 j reaches 300 again, the valid data flag of the real time base value data 203 l is maintained at 0, and when the total out number counter 203 j reaches 300, the valid data of the real time base value data 203 l 1 is stored in the flag. Thereafter, 1 is held in the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l until the total out number counter 203j becomes 60000.

  Here, while the total number of outs is small, the real-time base value to be measured largely depends on the game content at that time, so even if it is displayed, it becomes a meaningless base value, which adversely affects the judgment of fraud. There is a risk of Therefore, when displaying the real-time base value on the base display device 401 by setting the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to 0 while the total out number is 0 to 300, the identification segment is based on the real-time base While lighting "bL." Which shows a value, "-" is lighted to a ratio segment. This can indicate that the currently effective real-time base value is not obtained because the total number of outs is small. In this case, “bL.” Indicating a real-time base value may be blinked in the identification segment, and the base value of the real-time base value data 203l may be displayed in the ratio segment. As a result, it is possible to indicate that the currently effective real-time base value is not obtained because the total number of outs is small, and to notify the real-time base value at that time as a reference.

  On the other hand, after the total number of outs reaches 300, the real time base value is displayed on the base display device 401 by setting the valid data flag of the real time base value data 203l to 1, and the identification segment is real time. “BL.” Indicating the base value is lighted, while the base value stored in the real time base value data 203l is displayed as a valid base value in the ratio segment.

  Returning to FIG. 39 (a), the new launch flag 203p is used when the pachinko machine 10 is completely new launch in a manufacturing plant or when moving a used pachinko machine 10 to a different hole as a second-hand table, etc. 10 is a flag indicating that a new start-up period is underway. When the new launch flag 203p is on, it indicates that the pachinko machine 10 is in a new launch period, and when it is off, it indicates that the pachinko machine 10 is not in a new launch period.

  The new start-up flag 203p is initialized to ON when the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch operated when newly starting the pachinko machine 10, and the pachinko machine 10 is in the new start-up period. Is shown. Then, the new start flag 203p is kept on until the total out number counter 203j reaches 300, and when the total out counter 203j is different from 300, the new start flag 203p is set off. Thereafter, the new start-up flag 203p is kept off.

  When the new start-up flag 203p is on, the base display device 401 blinks (or lights up) the special display mode described above, that is, “88.” in the identification segment, and sets the real-time base value data 203l in the ratio segment. The real time base value is displayed in a manner of displaying the stored real time base value in a blinking (or lit) manner. In addition, by the display being performed, it can be suggested that the pachinko machine 10 is in a newly launched state.

  The display type counter 203 q is a counter for determining the type of the base value to be displayed on the base display device 401. When the display type counter 203 q is 0, the base display device 401 displays the real-time base value, and when the display type counter 203 q is 1, the base display device 401 displays the previous base value, and the display type counter 203 q When 2 is 2, the base display device 401 displays the base value twice before and when the display type counter 203 q is 3, the base display device 401 displays the base value 2 times before.

  In the display type counter 203q, when the new start flag 203p is set to off, that is, when the total number of outs becomes 300 after the new start of the pachinko machine 10 is performed, the new start period is ended. Is initialized to 0. Then, the display type counter 203 q is incremented by one every five seconds, and is reset to 0 when the value of the display type counter 203 q is 3 when counting up. As a result, the base value displayed on the base display device 401 changes in the order of the real time base value, the previous base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value every 5 seconds, and displays the base value every second. After that, returning to the real time base value, the display of the real time base value, the previous base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value is repeated while switching every 5 seconds.

  Next, referring to FIG. 40, in the fifth embodiment, a start-up process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 when power is supplied to the main control apparatus 110 will be described. FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing this start-up process. Here, this start-up process will be described focusing on differences from the start-up process (see FIG. 16) executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 in the first embodiment. As described above, portions where the same processing as the start-up processing of the first embodiment is executed are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  First, in the process of S604, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S604: Yes), and in the process of S605, it is determined that the occurrence information of the power failure is not stored in the RAM 203 ( S605: No), when it is determined that the calculated RAM determination value is not normal by the processing of S607 (S607: No), after sending out the payout initialization command to the payout control device 111 (S614), the RAM 203 Of the use areas, the total out number counter 203j necessary for displaying the base value, the low probability payout number counter 203k, the real time base value data 203l, the previous base value data 203m, the last previous base value data 203n, the last two days The area excluding the base value data 203o and the new start flag 203p is cleared to 0. And (S3001), sets an initial value for RAM203 area was the clear, except for information needed to display the base value such as (S3002).

  Thereby, even if the RAM erase switch 122 is operated at the time of power on, the measurement of the real-time base value performed before the operation is continued is continued, and the measured real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401 It can be done. In addition, the base display device 401 can display the previous base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value held before the operation of the RAM erase switch 122 is performed. Then, even if the fraudster operates the RAM erase switch 122 in order to erase the evidence, the information necessary for displaying the base value continues to be held, so it is possible to suppress the erasure of the evidence of the fraud.

  If it is determined in the process of S604 that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on (S604), then it is determined whether the RAM all erase switch is turned on (S3003). Then, if the RAM all erase switch is not turned on (S3003: No), the process proceeds to S605.

  On the other hand, if the RAM all erase switch is turned on (S3003: Yes), a payout initialization command is transmitted to initialize the payout control device 111 (S3004) as in the process of S614, and then the RAM 203 The entire initialization process (S3005, S3006) is executed. In the all initialization process (S3005, S3006) of the RAM 203, the total out number counter 203j which is information necessary for displaying the base value, the low probability payout number counter 203k, the real time base value data 203l, the previous base value data 203m, the last two bases The use area of the RAM 203 is cleared to 0 including the value data 203n, the base value data 203o immediately before and the new start flag 203p (S3005), and then an initial value is set in the RAM 203 (S3006).

  As described above, the RAM all-erase switch is a new startup of the pachinko machine 10, for example, when the pachinko machine 10 completely starts up in a manufacturing plant or when used pachinko machine 10 is moved to a different hole as a used table. If you do, it is supposed to be manipulated. Then, the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch, the total out number counter 203j, the low probability paid out number counter 203k, the real time base value data 203l, the last base value data 203m, the last second base value data 203n, the last time The base value data 203o and the new start-up flag 203p can be initialized, and measurement of the base value can be newly started from there. In addition, even when moving used pachinko machine 10 to a second hall as a second-hand table, this information can be initialized (cleared), so that an illegal act is performed in the previous hall and the base value Even if is changed, by continuously displaying the information at the next store, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the suspicion that there was a fraud in the next store. Further, since the RAM all erase switch is provided in the unopened connected substrate box 100, it can not be operated unless the connection of the substrate box 100 is broken and opened. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fraudster from erasing the information necessary to display the base value, and to securely protect the information.

  When one of the processes in S609, S3002 and S3006 is executed, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 are then lighted (S3007), In this state, wait processing is performed for 5 seconds (S3008). Thus, every time the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 are continuously lit for at least 5 seconds. .

  In the base display device 401, if a part of the segments is not lit due to a failure such as a break, the base value etc. can not be displayed correctly, and there is a possibility that an erroneous judgment may be made in judging the presence or absence of fraud. By lighting all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 for at least 5 seconds each time the power is turned on, it can be confirmed whether all the segments can be normally lit, and the base display Whether or not the display of the device 401 is normally performed can be easily determined.

  Further, the progress of the start-up process is waited for 5 seconds during which the lighting is performed, and the start of the normal game process is kept waiting. Thereby, when the base display device 401 is in a state in which the base value can not be correctly displayed, it is possible to suppress the progress of the game without being able to determine whether there is a cheating or not, and there was a cheating temporarily. In this case, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of any disadvantage to the player or the hall.

  In the present embodiment, while all segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 are lit each time the power is turned on, the game is stopped so as not to proceed for 5 seconds. However, while the lighting is being performed, normal game processing may be started to advance the game. In this case, only the display of the base value on the base display device 401 may be made to stand by while measuring the real time base value in accordance with the progress of the game. As a result, the player immediately plays the game even if processing is performed to light all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 when a momentary power failure occurs. It can resume.

  In the start-up process, after the process of S3008, the process proceeds to the process of S613.

  Next, base value processing performed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 in the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing the base value processing. This base value process is the duty ratio process of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 32) executed periodically (for example, every 4 milliseconds) by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 shown in the third embodiment. It is executed as one process of (S2002), and calculation (measurement) of the base value and display of the base value are performed.

  In this base value processing, first, the base value calculation processing is executed (S3101), and while the real-time base value is calculated (measured), the total number of outs becomes 60000, between the respective base value data 203l to 203o. Execute shift processing etc. The details of the base value calculation process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, it is determined whether one second has passed since the base value display process (S3103) was performed last time (S3102), and it is determined that one second has passed since the base value display process (S3103) was performed last time If it is determined (S3102: Yes), a base value display process is executed (S3103), and a process of displaying the base value on the base display device 401 is performed. The details of the base value display process will be described later with reference to FIGS. 43 and 44.

  When the process of S3103 is completed, the base value process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that one second has not elapsed since the previous execution of the base value display process (S3103) as a result of the process of S3102 (S3102: No), the base value display process (S3103) is skipped. End the base value processing. Thus, the base value display process (S3103) is executed at one second intervals, and the display of the base display device 401 is drive-controlled every one second.

  In the determination process of S3102, when the process of S3102 is executed for the first time after the main control device 110 is powered on (that is, after the start-up process shown in FIG. 40 is executed), the base in the previous time Whether one second has passed since the value display process (S3103) is not performed, and a positive determination (S3102: Yes) is made as it is, and the base value display process (S3103) is performed. As a result, after the start-up process shown in FIG. 40 is performed, the drive control process of the base display device 401 can be performed promptly.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 42, details of the above-described base value calculation process (S3101) which is one process of the base value process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 will be described. FIG. 42 is a flowchart showing the base value calculation process.

  In the base value calculation process (S3101), first, at least the output of each switch of the first starting opening switch 208a, the first ordinary winning opening switch 208c, the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d, and the out switch 208g is read, and the first starting opening It is judged whether or not there is a winning to the first ordinary winning opening 63a, the second ordinary winning opening 63b, and the presence or absence of the ball guided to the ball discharging path, and the detection information (winning detection information) is stored (S3201 ). The determination of one ball and one ball guided to the ball discharge path is performed over three timer interrupt processes based on the outputs of the switches 208a, 208c, 208d, and 208g.

  Next, it is determined whether the out switch 208g is on (S3201), and if it is determined that the out switch 208g is on and there is a ball guided to the ball discharge path (S3201: Yes), the total out One is added to the number counter 203j (S3203). As a result, the total out number, which is the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of struck balls), is counted by the total out number counter 203 j.

  After the processing of S3203, or when it is determined that the out switch 208g is not on and there is no ball guided to the ball discharge path by the processing of S3201 (S3201: No), then the gaming state is a big hit However, it is determined whether or not it is in the low probability state and not in the short time state, that is, whether the gaming state is normal (S3204). If it is determined that the gaming state is not a jackpot, is a low probability state, and is not a time saving state, that is, the gaming state is normal (S3204: Yes), the processing of S3205 is executed.

  That is, in the process of S3205, a prize determined to have a prize among the first starting port 64a, the first ordinary prize port 63a, and the second ordinary prize port 63b based on the prize detection information stored in the process of S3201. If there is a mouth, the number of winning balls in the number corresponding to the winning opening where the winning is made (that is, the number defined in the winning balls number table 202e) is added to the low probability payout number counter 203k. As a result, the number of prize balls paid out at the normal time except when the jackpot is high, when the probability is high (probable variation), and when the time is short is counted by the low probability payout number counter 203k.

  After the processing of S3205, or when it is determined that the gaming state is a big hit, a high probability (probability), or a short time by the processing of S3204, that is, the gaming state is not normal (S3204: Then, the real-time base value is calculated by the above-mentioned equation (1), and the calculated real-time base value is stored as a base value of the real-time base value data 203l (S3206). By this process, measurement of the base value is performed in real time.

  Next, it is determined whether the value of the total out number counter 203j is 60000, that is, whether the total number of out has reached 60000 (S3207). As a result, if the total number of outs has not reached 60000 (S3207: No), the processing of S3208 to S3210 is skipped, and the process proceeds to the processing of S3211. On the other hand, if the total number of outs has reached 60000 (S3207: Yes), the processing of S3208 to S3210 is executed, and the process shifts to the processing of S3211.

  In the process of S3208, first, the base value data 203n is shifted to the base value data 203o, and the previous base value data 203m is shifted to the base value data 203n, and then the real time base value data 203l is shifted to the previous time. Shift to the base value data 203 m (S3208). Thus, the real-time base value measured when the total number of outs reaches 60000 is held as the previous base value, and thereafter, the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 as the previous base value. Also, each base value displayed so far as the previous base value and the last second base value is displayed on the base display device 401 as the last second base value and the last second previous value.

  Each base value may be stored in a first in first out (FIFO) ring buffer. In this case, the address (ring buffer pointer) storing the real-time base value may be updated in the process of S3208. However, when storing the base value in the FIFO method ring buffer, if the ring buffer pointer is broken once due to noise or other influence, the base value may be stored in the RAM 203 correctly and displayed again. is there. On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, the area of the RAM 203 storing the real-time base value, the previous base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value is fixed, and every time the total number of outs becomes 60000. By shifting the data between them, it is possible to avoid the above-mentioned problem that may occur when the base value is stored in the FIFO ring buffer.

  In the process of S3208, these shift processes are executed by one LDIR instruction. The LDIR instruction enables block transfer of data only by setting the start address (HL) of the data to be transferred, the start address (DE) of the transfer destination, and the number of transfer bytes (BC). That is, data is transferred from (HL) to (DE), (HL) and (DE) are added together by one, and (BC) is subtracted by one. And this is repeated until (BC) becomes 0. Therefore, the base value data 203o is stored in the address (AA) (the AA is one address of the RAM 203), the base value data 203n is stored in the address (AA + 1), and the previous base value data 203m is stored in the address (AA + 2). Store the real-time base value data 203l in the address (AA + 3), set the start address (HL) of the data to be transferred as (AA), and set the transfer destination address as (AA + 1), The shift process of S3208 can be easily realized by setting the number of transfer bytes to 3 bytes and executing one LDIR instruction.

  In the subsequent processing of S3209, the base value of the real-time base value data 203l and the valid data flag are initialized to 0 (S3209). As a result, the base value is newly measured in real time until the total number of outs reaches 60000 again, while the effective data flag of the real time base value data 203l is as long as the total number of outs reaches 300. It is kept as 0. While the total number of outs is small, the real-time base value to be measured largely depends on the game content at that time, so even if it is displayed, it becomes a meaningless base value, which may adversely affect the judgment of fraud. is there. Therefore, when displaying the real-time base value on the base display device 401 by setting the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to 0 while the total out number is 0 to 300, the identification segment is based on the real-time base While lighting "bL." Which shows a value, "-" is lighted to a ratio segment. This can indicate that the currently effective real-time base value is not obtained because the total number of outs is small.

  In the subsequent processing of S3210, the total out number counter 203j is initialized to 0 (S3210). Thus, the total out number is counted again by the total out number counter 203j until the total number of out reaches 60000.

  In the process of S3211, it is determined whether the value of the total out number counter 203j is 300, that is, whether the total number of out has reached 300 (S3211). As a result, when the total out number has not reached 300 (S3211: No), the processing of S3212 to S3215 is skipped, and the base value calculation processing is ended as it is. On the other hand, if the total number of outs has reached 300 (S3211: Yes), the processing of S3212 to S3215 is executed, and then this base value calculation processing is ended.

  In the process of S3212, it is determined whether the new start-up flag 203p is on (S3212). As a result, when the new start-up flag 203p is on (S3212: Yes), it means that the pachinko machine 10 is in a new start-up period by turning on the power while operating the RAM all erase switch. . Then, since the total number of outs has reached 300 as a result of the previous processing of S3211, it is the timing to end the new start-up period, so the new start-up flag 203p is set to OFF (S3213). Then, the display type counter 203 q is initialized to zero (S 3214). As a result, thereafter, on the base display device 401, the real time base value, the previous base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value are switched and displayed every 5 seconds.

  After the processing of S3214, or when it is determined that the new start flag 203p is off by the processing of S3212 (S3212: No), then 1 is set to the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l. Ru. As a result, after the total number of outs reaches 300, by setting the effective data flag of the real time base value data 203l to 1, when displaying the real time base value on the base display device 401, the identification segment is “BL.” Indicating the real time base value is lighted, while the base value stored in the real time base value data 203l is displayed as a valid base value in the ratio segment.

  Next, referring to FIGS. 43 and 44, it is a process of base value processing executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110, and is a detail of the above-mentioned base value display process (S3103) executed at one second intervals. Will be explained. 43 and 44 are flowcharts showing the base value calculation process (S3103).

  First, referring to FIG. 43, when the base value calculation process (S3103) is started, it is determined whether the new start flag 203p is on (S3301). When the new start-up flag 203p is on (S3301: Yes), the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch, which means that the pachinko machine 10 is in a new start-up period. Is displayed on the identification segment of the base display device 401 in a blinking (or lit) manner, and the base value of the real-time base value data 203l is displayed on the ratio segment in a blinking (or lit) manner. The control signal is sent to (S3302). Then, the base value display process is ended.

  As described above, in the new launch of the pachinko machine 10, there are cases where balls are put in each winning hole and a prize ball is paid out in a shipping inspection or the like for quality confirmation of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, the base value at this time greatly differs from the actual base value of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, during the new start-up period of the pachinko machine 10, the display of the base display device 401 blinks (or lights up) "88." in the identification segment and the real-time base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l. Indicating that the displayed base value is not a normal base value (valid base value) by displaying it in a special display mode different from the normal base value display, in which the ratio segment is displayed blinking (or lit). Can. In addition, by the display being performed, it can be suggested that the pachinko machine 10 is in a newly launched state.

  On the other hand, if the new launch flag 203p is off as a result of the processing of S3302 (S3301: No), it is then determined whether 5 seconds have elapsed since the display type counter was updated or initialized (S3303). As a result, if 5 seconds have elapsed (S3303: Yes), the display type counter 203q is updated (S3304), and the process proceeds to S3305 shown in FIG. On the other hand, if 5 seconds have not elapsed as a result of the process of S3303 (S3303: No), the process of S3304 is skipped, and the process shifts to the process of S3305 shown in FIG.

  In the update of the display type counter 203 q in S 3304, when the display type counter 203 q is other than 3, 1 is added to the display type counter 203 q. When the display type counter 203 q is 3, the display type counter 203 q is initialized to 0. By updating the display type counter 203 q every 5 seconds, the types of base values displayed on the base display device 401 are: real time base value, last base value, last second base value, last second last base value, real time base value , Last time base value, ... in order of 5 seconds.

  Referring to FIG. 44, in the process of S3305, the value of the display type counter 203q is determined (S3305). When the display type counter 203 q is 0 (S 3305: “0”), it is a period during which the real time base value is displayed on the base display device 401. Therefore, it is determined whether the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l is 1 (S3306). If the valid data flag is 1 (S3306: Yes), the identification segment of the base display device 401 is "b. Is sent to the base display device control circuit 402 so that the base value of the real time base value data 203l is lit and displayed on the ratio segment (S3307). As described above, when the base value of the real-time base value data 203l is measured for the total out number of 300 or more, the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l is 1 as the base value is valid. Set to Therefore, the real-time base value measured as a valid base value can be displayed on the base display device 401 and can be displayed.

  On the other hand, when the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l is 0 as a result of the processing of S3306 (S3306: No), “bL.” Is lit on the identification segment of the base display device 401, and “ratio” is A control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so as to turn on and display "-" (S3308).

  As described above, when the base value of the real-time base value data 203l is measured when the total number of outs is less than 300, the valid data of the real-time base value data 203l is regarded as not being valid. The flag is set to 0. This can indicate that the currently effective real-time base value is not obtained because the total number of outs is small.

  When the display type counter 203 q is 1 as a result of the process of S3305 (S3305: “1”), it is a period during which the base display device 401 displays the previous base value. Therefore, it is determined whether the valid data flag of the previous base value data 203m is 1 (S3309), and if the valid data flag is 1 (S3309: Yes), the identification segment of the base display device 401 is "b1. Is displayed, and a control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so that the base value of the previous base value data 203m is lit and displayed in the ratio segment (S3310). Thereby, when a valid base value is stored in the previous base value data 203m, the valid previous base value can be displayed on the base display device 401 and can be displayed.

  When the total number of outs reaches 60000 and data is shifted to the previous base value data 203m, the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to be shifted is "1", and the previous shift after the shift The valid data flag of the base value data 203m is also "1". Therefore, when the pachinko machine 10 is newly launched and the total number of outs first reaches 60000, when the base display device 401 displays the previous base value, it is stored in the previous base value data 203 m. The base value will be displayed in the ratio segment as a valid base value.

  On the other hand, when the effective data flag of the previous base value data 203m is 0 as a result of the processing of S3309 (S3309: No), “b1.” Is lit on the identification segment of the base display device 401 and the ratio segment is displayed A control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so as to light up and display "-" (S3311). As a result, when a valid base value is not obtained as the previous base value, it can be shown that "-" displayed in the ratio segment indicates that the valid previous base value is not obtained.

  As a result of the process of S3305, when the display type counter 203q is 2 (S3305: "2"), it is a period during which the base display device 401 displays the base value two times before. Therefore, it is determined whether the valid data flag of the base value data 203 n is 1 last time (S 3312), and if the valid data flag is 1 (S 3312: Yes), the identification segment of the base display device 401 is “b2. Is displayed, and a control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so that the base value of the base value data 203n is lit and displayed in the ratio segment before the previous display (S3313). As a result, when a valid base value is stored in the base value data 203 n, the valid previous base value can be displayed on the base display device 401 and displayed.

  In addition, when shifting the previous base value data 203m to the base value data 203n before the last time, if the valid data flag of the previous base value data 203m is "1" (the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch This corresponds to the case where the total number of outs reaches the second time to 60000 after all the initialization of the RAM 203 is performed), and the valid data flag of the base value data 203n before shift after shift becomes “1”. Therefore, when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 two times before, the base value stored in the base value data 203 n two times before is displayed on the ratio segment as a valid base value.

  On the other hand, as a result of the process of S3312, when the effective data flag of the base value data 203n before 2 is 0 (S3312: No), “b2.” Is lit and displayed on the identification segment of the base display device 401 and A control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so as to light up and display "-" (S3313). As a result, when a valid base value is not obtained as the base value for the last two times, "-" displayed on the ratio segment can indicate that a valid last time base value is not obtained.

  As a result of the process of S3305, when the display type counter 203q is 3 (S3305: "3"), it is a period during which the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 two times before. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the valid data flag of the base value data 203o is 1 each time before (S3315), and if the valid data flag is 1 (S3315: Yes), the identification segment of the base display device 401 is selected. The control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so that "b3." Is lit and the base value of the base value data 203o is lit and displayed in the ratio segment each time before (S3316). As a result, when a valid base value is stored in the base value data 203 o, the valid base value can be displayed on the base display device 401 and displayed.

  When the base value data 203n is shifted to the base value data 203o just before the previous two times, if the valid data flag of the base value data 203n is “1” (the power supply operates while operating the RAM all erase switch). This is applicable when the total number of outs reaches 60000 3rd time after all initialization of RAM 203 is executed), and the valid data flag of base value data 203o after shift is “1”. It becomes ". Therefore, when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 two times before, the base value stored in the base value data 203 o is displayed on the ratio segment as a valid base value. Become.

  On the other hand, if the effective data flag of the base value data 203o is 0 after the process of S3315 (S3315: No), “b2.” Is lit and displayed on the identification segment of the base display device 401, A control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so as to light up and display “−−” in the ratio segment (S3317). As a result, if an effective base value is not obtained as the base value for the base value, the "-" displayed in the ratio segment indicates that the base value for the effective source value is not obtained. Can be shown.

  When one of the processes in S3307, S3308, S3310, S3311, S3313, S3314, S3316, and S3371 ends, the base value display process ends, as shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, the base display device 401 measures the real time base value measured in real time during the period until the total number of outs reaches 60000 (hereinafter referred to as “real time Base value) and the last base value measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 in the last time (closest)) and the total number of outs before the last time (previous time) is 60000 The base value measured before reaching the number and the base value measured before when the total number of outs reached 60000 before the previous one (before). It is switched and displayed every predetermined period. By displaying base values (previous base value, last-previous base value, last-previous base value) for multiple past times in addition to the real-time base value, it is possible to more accurately determine whether or not there has been a fraud. In addition, it is possible to predict, to some extent, the time when the fraud has occurred.

  In the fifth embodiment, every time the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 immediately after the power on. For a predetermined period (5 seconds in the present embodiment). As a result, it can be confirmed whether all the segments can be lit normally, and it can be easily judged whether or not the display of the base display device 401 is normally performed.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment is a novelty of the pachinko machine 10 at the time of completely new launch of the pachinko machine 10 in a manufacturing plant, or when moving a used pachinko machine 10 to another hole with a used table. When starting up, the display of the base display device 401 until the total number of out reaches a predetermined number (300 in the present embodiment) is displayed in a special display mode different from the normal base value display. . In the new launch of the pachinko machine 10, there are cases where balls are put in each winning hole and a prize ball is paid out in a shipping inspection or the like for quality confirmation of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, the base value at this time greatly differs from the actual base value of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, when the pachinko machine 10 is newly launched, the display of the base display device 401 until the total number of outs reaches the predetermined number (300 in the present embodiment) at first is the normal base value display. By displaying in different special display modes, it can be shown that the displayed base value is not a normal base value. In addition, by the display being performed, it can be suggested that the pachinko machine 10 is in a newly launched state.

  In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to fourth embodiments can achieve the same effect as the effect obtained by the configuration.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 45 to 58, a pachinko machine 10 according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to fifth embodiments, the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol are preset by the main control unit 110, and the jackpot probability and / or It was made to be unable to change the hit probability of 2 designs. On the other hand, the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment has the jackpot probability and / or the hit probability of the second symbol in a plurality of stages (in the present embodiment, the set values “1” to “6”) 6) can be changed. And, the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment changes the setting value (hereinafter referred to as "probability setting value") of the jackpot probability and / or the hitting probability of the second symbol (hereinafter referred to as "setting change mode") When the probability setting value is confirmed (hereinafter referred to as “setting confirmation mode”), the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 provided in the pachinko machine 10 according to the fifth embodiment. The pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment is configured to be able to display a history of errors generated in the pachinko machine 10 (hereinafter referred to as “error history”) in the base display device 401.

  Hereinafter, the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment, the same components and processes as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to fifth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to fifth embodiments. I omit explanation.

  FIG. 45 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment, the base display device 401 is disposed on the main substrate constituting the main controller 110, and as shown in FIG. 45, the base display when the back side of the pachinko machine 10 is viewed. It is assembled so that the display screen of the device 401 can be seen. While a base value is displayed on the base display device 401 at normal times, probability setting values are displayed in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. The base display device 401 is also configured to be able to display an error history.

  In addition, on the main board constituting the main control unit 110, the setting key 501 used when changing the set probability setting value or checking the set probability setting value, and the base display device 401 An error display button 502 used to display an error history is provided. The setting key 501 and the error display button 502 are provided to project from the hole provided in the substrate box 100 beyond the main substrate, and can be operated by a person or the like in the hall without opening the substrate box 100.

  Here, the setting key 501 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 46 (a) is a front view of the setting key 501 showing the case where the setting key 501 is in the off state, and FIG. 46 (b) is a setting key 501 showing the case where the setting key 501 is in the on state. It is a front view of. By inserting a dedicated key into the keyhole provided to the setting key 501, the setting key 501 is located between two positions, the off side indicated by "OFF" and the on side indicated by "ON". It is configured to be rotatable. The setting key 501 is turned off when positioned on the off side, and turned on when positioned on the warm side.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, the pachinko machine according to the state of the RAM erase switch 122, the setting key 501, and the door opening switch (not shown). Determine the launch mode of the machine 10. The door opening switch is a switch for detecting that the inner frame 12 is unlocked and opened (the door is opened).

  FIG. 47 shows the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 and the RAM erase switch 122, the setting key 501, and the door open switch when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on to start up in each start-up mode. It is the figure which showed each state of (not shown).

  The start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 is provided with four modes: a normal mode, a RAM clear mode, a setting change mode, and a setting confirmation mode. The RAM clear mode is a mode for erasing (clearing) the data stored in the RAM 203 in order to return the pachinko machine 10 to the initial state. The setting change mode is a mode for changing the set probability setting value. The setting confirmation mode is a mode for confirming the set probability setting value.

  The normal mode is a startup mode other than the RAM clear mode, the setting change mode, and the setting check mode, and information on occurrence of power-off is not stored in the RAM 203 or data stored in the RAM 203 is broken. , And holds the data stored in the RAM 203, and executes various start-up processes to restart the pachinko machine 10 from the state before the power is turned off.

  Then, if the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on without turning on the RAM erase switch 122 and with the setting key 501 in the off state, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the normal mode. Also, if the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 while the setting key 501 is in the off state, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the RAM clear mode.

  On the other hand, if the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 while turning on the setting key 501, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the setting change mode on the condition that the door open switch is on. . When the setting key 501 is turned on and the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the setting confirmation mode on the condition that the door open switch is on.

  As described above, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, if the setting key 501 is turned off, the person in charge of the hall or the like changes the state of the pachinko machine 10 depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. As the start-up mode, it is possible to select either the RAM clear mode or the normal mode, which is a start-up mode not related to the probability setting value.

  On the other hand, when turning on the power of the pachinko machine 10, if the setting key 501 is turned on after the inner frame 12 is unlocked and opened, the person concerned with the hall or the like turns on the RAM erase switch 122 Depending on whether the setting mode is the setting change mode related to the probability setting value or the setting confirmation mode can be selected as the startup mode of the pachinko machine 10.

  That is, depending on whether the setting key 501 is turned off or on, it is possible to select the startup mode not related to the probability setting value and the startup mode related to the probability setting value. When the start-up mode not related to the probability setting value is selected, whether to set the start-up mode to the RAM clear mode or the normal mode can be selected according to whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. When setting the start-up mode related to the probability setting value, it is possible to select either the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on.

  Here, when the probability setting value is changed, since the jackpot probability in the game and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol are changed, if the game state before the power-off is continued to continue the game, the pachinko machine 10 There is a possibility that it may become impossible to exhibit predetermined game performance. Therefore, when changing the probability setting value in the setting change mode, the pachinko machine 10 erases (clears) the data stored in the RAM 203. On the other hand, since the setting confirmation mode is a startup mode for only confirming the probability setting value, the data stored in the RAM 203 is held (not cleared) so that the gaming state before power off can be taken over and the game can be continued. .

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when launching the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode in which the data of the RAM 203 is cleared, the inner frame 12 is unlocked and opened, and then the setting key 501 is turned on to erase the RAM. When turning on the switch 122 and turning on the power of the pachinko machine 10 and opening the pachinko machine 10 in the setting confirmation mode in which the data in the RAM 203 is not cleared, the inner frame 12 is unlocked and opened. The power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is off while the key 501 is on.

  As described above, when activating the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode related to the probability setting value, the setting key 501 is turned on before the pachinko machine 10 is powered on. Then, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the RAM clear mode or the setting change mode for clearing data stored in the RAM 203, the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while pressing the RAM erase button 122 (while turning on). In other words, the hall personnel or the like can easily understand what kind of operation is necessary as the operation to the pachinko machine 10 necessary for the start-up mode to be started from now, if the meaning of each start-up mode is understood.

  Further, in order to start up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, a dedicated key that can be inserted into the setting key 501 is required, and the key is managed by the hole. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the player from checking the probability setting value and searching for the pachinko machine 10 having the high probability of hitting and / or hitting the probability or changing the probability setting value to the high probability. Further, since the RAM erase switch 122 is normally provided at a position where the player does not touch easily, it is possible to suppress the player from changing the probability setting value to a high probability arbitrarily.

  Further, the number of switches to be operated simultaneously is two even when activated in the setting operation mode, and since they can be sufficiently operated with both hands, operability is good. As described above, by using the on / off state of the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501, the person in charge of the hall can easily and easily select the startup mode of the pachinko machine 10.

  In the present embodiment, when the pachinko machine 10 is powered on when the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode is activated, the door opening switch is on, that is, the inner frame 14 is opened. The condition is that.

  This is because, in order to change and check the probability setting value, it is necessary for a person in charge of the hall etc. to visually recognize the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 This is because 14 needs to be open. Therefore, if the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on without opening the inner frame 14 even though the setting key 501 is on, the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode is not activated, and the setting key 501 is turned on. As in the case of the off state, if the RAM erase switch 122 is off, the pachinko machine 10 is activated in the normal mode, and if the RAM erase switch 122 is on, the pachinko machine 10 is activated in the RAM clear mode. As a result, even though the inner frame 14 is closed with the setting key 501 turned on, the pachinko machine 10 is powered on and starts up in the setting change mode or the setting check mode, and a game is played on the pachinko machine 10 It is possible to suppress not being started. Also, in order to open the inner frame 14, a dedicated key managed by the hall side is required. Therefore, the player opens the inner frame 14 without permission, checks the probability setting value, searches for the pachinko machine 10 with a high probability of winning and / or hitting probability, and changes the probability setting value to high probability without permission. It is possible to suppress

  When the pachinko machine 10 is powered on in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, the door open switch must be on, that is, the inner frame 14 must be open. It does not have to be. That is, if the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 while turning on the setting key 501, the pachinko machine 10 changes the setting mode regardless of whether the door open switch is on or not. You may start it with In addition, when the setting key 501 is turned on and the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off, the pachinko machine 10 is in the setting confirmation mode regardless of whether the door opening switch is on. You may launch it.

  Now, the pachinko machine 10 prepares, as one of the start-up modes, a setting change mode and a setting confirmation mode for changing or confirming the probability setting value, but in the present embodiment, changing and confirming the probability setting value The setting confirmation mode is enabled only when the pachinko machine 10 starts up (when the power is turned on), and confirmation of the probability setting value can not be performed while the game is in progress. This is due to the following reason.

  That is, the character ratio such as the display of the base value by the base display device 401, the display relating to the character ratio, etc., and the display of values representing gaming performance, gaming state, etc. make it possible to detect fraudulentity early. Because, in principle, during the game must be displayed. Therefore, while the player is playing a game, at least the probability setting value can not be displayed.

  If it is possible to display the probability setting value other than when the pachinko machine 10 is started by setting the setting key 501 to be in the on state, it may be possible that the player is playing a game. For example, it is conceivable to stop the game. However, while the main control device 110 can stop the change time as the game is stopped, the third symbol display device 81 may continue to perform change effects, and the main control device 110, Misalignment may occur between the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114.

  When the setting key 501 is turned on so that the probability setting value can be displayed other than when the pachinko machine 10 starts up, it is in the middle of a game being played by the player. Even if it is possible to continue the game as it is and to make it possible to confirm the probability setting value on the base display device 401, it is necessary to open the inner frame 12 in order to confirm the display on the base display device 401. Because of this, it is practically difficult for the player to continue playing.

  In addition, after the setting key 501 is turned on, it is possible to display the probability setting value on the base display device 401 after waiting for all the fluctuation effects to end including the jackpot and the reserved amount. However, some of the fluctuation effects include those with long fluctuation times, and some of them are continued for about 5 minutes. In addition, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is also set long in the normal game state, and it takes a lot of time until all of these reservations are digested, so it is difficult to wait until the probability setting value is displayed.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10, when it is desired to change or check the probability setting value, the pachinko machine 10 is once turned off, the setting key 501 is turned on, and the pachinko machine 10 is turned on again. Thereby, the probability setting value can be displayed on the base display device 401 in a state where a game is not performed in the pachinko machine 10, and the probability setting value can be surely changed or confirmed by a person in charge of holes or the like. In addition, once the pachinko machine 10 is powered off, the state before power-off is backed up to the RAM 203, and startup processing is performed without clearing the backed-up state. Even if the set value is confirmed, the game can be resumed from the state before the power was turned off.

  In addition, by limiting the change or confirmation of the probability setting value at the time of launching the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to suppress the player from confirming or changing the probability setting value without permission during normal times.

  FIG. 48A shows the roles of the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 in the setting change mode. FIG. 48B is a diagram showing the role of the setting key 501 in the setting confirmation mode.

  As shown in FIG. 48A, when the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on in the setting change mode, the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 is updated. Further, when the setting key is turned off in the setting change mode, the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 at that time is decided as the probability setting value in the pachinko machine 10.

  In the present embodiment, “1” to “6” can be set as the probability setting value, and for each probability setting value (“1” to “6”), the jackpot random number value and / or the second The hit random number value of the symbol is stored in advance in the ROM 202. The jackpot probability of the probability setting value and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol is determined by the number of jackpot random number values determined for each probability setting value and / or the number of hit random numbers of the second symbol. In the pachinko machine 10, the smaller the probability setting value (closer to 1), the lower the probability of winning a jackpot and / or the second symbol, and the larger the probability setting value (closer to 6), a jackpot probability and / or Alternatively, for each probability setting value, a jackpot random number value and / or a random number value of the second symbol is determined such that the probability of hitting the second symbol is high.

  In addition, the jackpot random number value and / or the jackpot random number value of the second symbol is fixed, and the range and / or random number of the random numbers generated to perform the jackpot lottery for each probability setting value (“1” to “6”) Alternatively, the range of the random numbers generated to perform the second lottery of the symbol may be stored in advance in the RAM 202. The range of the jackpot random number determined for each probability setting value and / or the range of the jackpot random number of the second symbol determines the jackpot probability in the probability setting value and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol.

  In the setting change mode, every time the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on, the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 is incremented by one. However, when the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on when the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 is “6”, the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 is updated to “1”. Ru. That is, each time the RAM erase switch 122 is pressed in the setting change mode, the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 loops while adding one by one in the range of “1” to “6”.

  Then, when the setting key 501 is turned off in the setting change mode, the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 at that time is decided as the probability setting value of the pachinko machine 10. Then, after the data in the RAM 203 is cleared, the pachinko machine 10 performs game control thereafter with the determined probability setting value, and displays the base value on the base display device 401.

  In the setting confirmation mode, as shown in FIG. 48 (b), when the setting key 501 is turned off, the setting confirmation mode is ended, and instead of the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401, the base value Display

  Next, display contents of probability setting values to be displayed on the base display device 401 in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 49 is a schematic view schematically showing various examples of the display content of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, and FIG. 49 (a) is an example thereof.

  In the example shown in FIG. 49A, in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment of the base display device 401 are extinguished. Further, of the seven-segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment of the base display 401, all the segments of the seven-segment display 401c on the left side are extinguished, and only the seven-segment display 401d on the right side is used. Display the probability setting value (1 to 6).

  As described in the fifth embodiment, when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401, the identification segment includes characters (bL., B1... Etc. for identifying the type of the base value displayed in the ratio segment. In the example shown in FIG. 49A, in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, all the segments of the identification segment are turned off. As a result, since the display state can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the probability setting value is displayed, the display can be displayed on the base display device 401 at first glance. It can be made to grasp whether the information being executed is a base value or a probability setting value. Moreover, when displaying a base value on the base display apparatus 401, the base value is displayed on a ratio segment by two digits. That is, when the base value is, for example, "6", the ratio segment is displayed as "06". On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 49 (a), in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting value is displayed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment. Since all segments of the segment display 401c are turned off, it is seen that all segments of the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment are turned off even if the identification segment is broken and can not be turned on. Therefore, it can be made clear to the person in charge of the hall or the like that the information displayed on the base display device 401 is the probability setting value.

  FIG. 49B is a schematic view showing another example of the display content of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. In the example shown in FIG. 49 (b), in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, in the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment of the base display device 401, only the segment of the middle bar is lit, Turn off the other segments. That is, "-" is displayed on the identification segment. Also, in the 7-segment display 401c on the left side among the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment of the base display device 401, only the segment of the middle horizontal bar is turned on, and the other segments are turned off. That is, "-" is displayed on the corresponding segment. Then, the probability setting values (1 to 6) are displayed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment.

  Also in this case, the display state of the identification segment can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401. It can be made to grasp whether the information displayed in 401 is a base value or a probability setting value. In the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting value is displayed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment, and "-" is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c on the left Therefore, even if the identification segment is broken and can not be lighted, the information displayed on the base display device 401 is a probability setting value by looking at the display of the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment. It can be made to be able to be clearly understood to the person in charge of the hall.

  FIG. 49 (c-1) is a schematic view showing another example of the display content of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode, and FIG. 49 (c-2) is a display of the base display device 401 in the setting confirmation mode. It is a schematic diagram showing another example of contents. In this example, the display contents are changed also in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. Specifically, as in FIG. 49 (a), the identification segment turns off all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b that make up the identification segment. On the other hand, in the ratio segment, “7” indicating the setting change mode or “C” indicating the setting confirmation mode is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side among the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment. The probability setting values (1 to 6) are displayed on the right 7-segment display 401d.

  Also in this case, the display state of the identification segment can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401. It can be made to grasp whether the information displayed in 401 is a base value or a probability setting value.

  Moreover, when displaying a base value on the base display apparatus 401, the base value is displayed on a ratio segment by two digits. That is, when the base value is, for example, "6", the ratio segment is displayed as "06". On the other hand, in the example shown in FIGS. 49 (c-1) and 49 (c-2), in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting is performed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment. The value is displayed, and “H” is displayed in the setting change mode and “C” is displayed in the setting confirmation mode on the seven-segment display 401 c on the left side. As a result, even if the identification segment is broken and can not be lit, the base display device 401 is displayed with “H” or “C” different from the numbers on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment. It is possible for a person in charge of the hall or the like to clearly understand that the information displayed on the is a probability setting value.

  In addition, by displaying different display contents on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, it is clearly shown whether the present mode is the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode. be able to.

  FIG. 49 (d-1) is a schematic view showing another example of the display content of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode, and FIG. 49 (d-2) is a display of the base display device 401 in the setting confirmation mode. It is a schematic diagram showing another example of contents. Also in this example, the display contents are changed between the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, as in FIGS. 49 (c-1) and (c-2). Specifically, as in FIG. 49 (b), in the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b that make up the identification segment, only the segment in the middle horizontal bar is turned on, and the other segments are turned off. That is, "-" is displayed on the identification segment. On the other hand, in the ratio segment, the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d that make up the ratio segment are in the setting change mode in the 7-segment display 401c on the left, as in FIGS. 49 (c-1) and (c-2). “H” indicating “H” or “C” indicating the setting confirmation mode is displayed, and probability setting values (1 to 6) are displayed on the seven-segment display 401 d on the right side.

  Also in this case, the display state of the identification segment can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401. It can be made to grasp whether the information displayed in 401 is a base value or a probability setting value. In addition, even if the identification segment is broken and can not be turned on, “H” or “C” different from the numbers is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment, so that the base display device 401 is displayed. It is possible for a person in a hall or the like to clearly understand that the displayed information is the probability setting value. In addition, by displaying different display contents on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, it is clearly shown whether the present mode is the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode. be able to.

  FIG. 49 (e-1) is a schematic view showing another example of the display content of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode, and FIG. 49 (e-2) is a display of the base display device 401 in the setting confirmation mode. It is a schematic diagram showing another example of contents. Also in this example, the display contents are changed in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, but in the point that the display contents are changed in the identification segment, as shown in FIGS. 49 (c-1) and (c-2). This is different from the example and the example of FIG. 49 (d-1) and (d-2). Specifically, in the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment, "SH." Is displayed in the setting change mode, and "SC." Is displayed in the setting confirmation mode. On the other hand, in the ratio segment, all the segments of the 7-segment display 401c on the left side are extinguished, and the probability setting values (1 to 6) are displayed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side.

  As described above, when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401, characters (bL., B1... Etc.) for identifying the type of the base value displayed in the ratio segment are displayed on the identification segment. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 49A, "SH." Indicating the setting change mode is displayed in the setting change mode, and "SC." Indicating the setting confirmation mode is displayed in the setting confirmation mode. . As described above, when the base value is displayed as the display content displayed on the identification segment and the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode have different display contents, it is possible to clearly differentiate between the two. Therefore, at first glance, it can be understood whether the information displayed on the base display device 401 is a base value or a probability setting value. Further, by displaying different display contents on the identification segment in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, it is possible to clearly indicate whether it is the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode at present.

  Further, when displaying the base value on the base display device 401, the base value is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment, while in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, the 7-segment display on the right side of the ratio segment The probability setting value is displayed using only 401d, and all segments of the 7-segment display 401c on the left are turned off, so even if the identification segment is broken and can not be lit, the 7 on the left of the ratio segment When all the segments in the segment display 401c are turned off, it is clear to the person in charge of the hall that the information displayed on the base display 401 is not the base value but the probability setting value. It can be made to grasp.

  Returning to FIG. 45, the description will be continued. The error display button 502 is a button for displaying an error history on the base display device 401. As described above, the base display device 401 can display an error history that is a history of errors that occur in the pachinko machine 10. The display of the error history is displayed on the base display device 401 only while the error display button 502 is pressed. That is, the base value continues to be displayed on the base display device 401 unless the error display button 502 is pressed.

  The impact is applied to the pachinko machine 10 or the magnet is brought close, the flow direction of the ball is changed, the ball is made to win in various winning openings, and the prize ball is intentionally obtained or the jackpot lottery is performed. There may be an act, or an illegal act of passing a ball to the through gate 67 and intentionally making a lottery for a regular symbol. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 is configured to be able to detect an impact or detect the approach of a magnet, and when these are detected, the game is stopped as a serious error. At this time, the base display device 401 continues to display the base value instead of displaying the error history.

  Assuming that the error type is displayed on the base display device 401 when a serious error is detected, the base display device 401 performs the fraudulent action so that the base value or the like is changed. In order to hide the base value displayed on the screen, the pachinko machine 10 is intentionally shocked or a magnet is brought close to cause a serious error to cause the base display device 401 to display the error type and the base value is not displayed. It can be considered to be

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10, even if a serious error is detected, by continuing to display the base value on the base display device 401, a person who has made a fraudulent act such as changing the base value or the like. It is possible to hide the display of the base value after the cheating, and to surely detect the cheating against the base value.

  Then, in the pachinko machine 10, when the error display button 502 is pressed, an error history is displayed on the base display device 401 only while the pressing operation is performed. Based on the displayed error history, a person in charge of holes and the like can grasp what kind of error the error occurred in the pachinko machine 10 is. When the pressing operation of the error display button 502 is released, the base display device 401 displays the base value again.

  The error history may display only the type of error that has occurred closest to the time. In addition, error types up to a plurality of times (for example, four times) may be displayed retroactively from the error, including an error that has occurred closest to time. In the case of displaying the error types for a maximum of a plurality of times, the base display device 401 is made to display the generated time in order from the closest to the current time, for each predetermined time. In the case where an error does not occur in the pachinko machine 10 (or in the case where no error record remains), if the error display button 502 is pressed, the error occurs while the pressing operation is being performed. A display indicating that there is no recording may be displayed on the base display device 401, or the base value may be continuously displayed.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10, while the error history is displayed on the base display device 401 while the error display button 502 is pressed, the error display is performed when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401. When the button 502 is pressed once, an error history is displayed on the base display device 401, and when the error display button 502 is pressed once while the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, the base display device 401 is displayed. It may be configured to re-display the base value.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 50, display contents in the case of displaying the error history on the base display device 401 will be described. FIG. 50 is a schematic view schematically showing various examples of display contents in the case where the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, and FIG. 50 (a) is an example thereof.

  In the example shown in FIG. 50A, when displaying the error history on the base display device 401, all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment of the base display device 401 are extinguished. Further, among the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment of the base display device 401, the left-side 7-segment display 401c displays "E" indicating that an error history is to be displayed, and the right-side 7-segment display The error type is displayed numerically using only the device 401d. For example, in the case of a shock detection error, “1” is displayed as an error type, and in the case of a magnet detection error, “2” is displayed as an error type.

  As described in the fifth embodiment, when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401, the identification segment includes characters (bL., B1... Etc. for identifying the type of the base value displayed in the ratio segment. In the example shown in FIG. 49A, in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, all the segments of the identification segment are turned off. As a result, since the display state can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the error history is displayed, it is displayed on the base display device 401 at first glance. It is possible to make it possible to grasp whether the information in question is a base value or an error history. Moreover, when displaying a base value on the base display apparatus 401, the base value is displayed on a ratio segment by two digits. That is, when the base value is, for example, "6", the ratio segment is displayed as "06". On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 50 (a), when the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, the probability setting value is displayed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment. Since “E” indicating the display of the error history is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c, the information displayed on the base display device 401 is an error history even if the identification segment is broken and can not be lit. It can be made to be able to be clearly understood to the person in charge of the hall etc.

  Further, even if the display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode are as shown in FIG. 49 (a), 49 (c-1), and (c-2), the error history is based When displaying on the display device 401, “E” indicating the display of the error history is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side. Therefore, when displaying the probability setting value on the base display device 401 and displaying the error history In such a case, the display state can be clearly differentiated, and at first glance, it can be determined whether the information displayed on the base display device 401 is a probability setting value or an error history. it can.

  On the other hand, the display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode are as shown in FIG. 49 (b), 49 (d-1), (d-2), 49 (e-1), and (e-). In the case of 2), the display in the identification segment can be clearly differentiated between the case of displaying the probability setting value and the case of displaying the error history, and it is displayed on the base display device 401 at first glance It can be made to grasp whether the information in question is a probability setting value or an error history. In addition, when displaying the error history on the base display device 401, “E” indicating the display of the error history is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side, so the identification segment is broken and can not be lit. Also, the information displayed on the base display device 401 makes it possible for a person in a hall or the like to clearly grasp that the information is an error history.

  FIG. 50 (b) is a schematic view showing another example of the display content in the case where the error history is displayed on the base display device 401. As shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 50 (b), when displaying the error history on the base display device 401, in the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment of the base display device 401, only the segment of the middle bar is lit And turn off the other segments. That is, "-" is displayed on the identification segment. Further, among the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment of the base display device 401, the left-side 7-segment display 401c displays "E" indicating that an error history is to be displayed, and the right-side 7-segment display The error type is displayed numerically in the same manner as in FIG.

  Also by this, since the display state can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the error history is displayed, the display on the base display device 401 can be performed at first glance It can be made to grasp whether the information being executed is a base value or an error history. Also, when displaying the error history on the base display device 40, the base history is displayed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment, and the display of the error history is shown on the 7-segment display 401c on the left. Since "E" is displayed, even if the identification segment is broken and can not be turned on, the information displayed on the base display device 401 is displayed by looking at the display of the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment. It can be made clear to the person in charge of the hall etc. that it is a probability setting value.

  Further, even if the display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode are as shown in FIG. 49 (b), FIG. 49 (d-1) and (d-2), the error history is based. When displaying on the display device 401, “E” indicating the display of the error history is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side. Therefore, when displaying the probability setting value on the base display device 401 and displaying the error history In such a case, the display state can be clearly differentiated, and at first glance, it can be determined whether the information displayed on the base display device 401 is a probability setting value or an error history. it can.

  On the other hand, the display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode are as shown in FIG. 49 (a), 49 (c-1), (c-2), 49 (e-1), (e-). In the case of 2), the display in the identification segment can be clearly differentiated between the case of displaying the probability setting value and the case of displaying the error history, and it is displayed on the base display device 401 at first glance It can be made to grasp whether the information in question is a probability setting value or an error history. In addition, when displaying the error history on the base display device 401, “E” indicating the display of the error history is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side, so the identification segment is broken and can not be lit. Also, the information displayed on the base display device 401 makes it possible for a person in a hall or the like to clearly grasp that the information is an error history.

  FIG. 50 (c-1) is a schematic view showing an example of display contents in the case of displaying an error type which has occurred closest to time as an error history, and FIG. 50 (c-2) is an error history It is the schematic diagram which showed an example of the display content in the case of displaying the error classification which arose in the near second in time temporally as. In the example of FIG. 50 (c-1) and (c-2), among the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment, "E" indicating the display of the error history in the 7-segment display 401a on the left side. Is displayed, and a numerical value is displayed on the right of the seven-segment display 401b to indicate what error type the error type to be displayed relates to an error that has occurred in time. That is, when the identification segment is displayed as "E1.", It indicates that the error type of the error that has occurred closest to the time is displayed, and when the identification segment is displayed as "E2." Indicates that the error type of the second closest error is displayed. On the other hand, in the ratio segment, all the segments of the 7-segment display 401c on the left side are turned off, and the error type is displayed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side.

  As described above, as display contents to be displayed in the identification segment, each of the display contents clearly differs from each other in the display contents of the base value, the probability setting value, and the error history. It can be differentiated. Therefore, at first glance, it can be understood whether the information displayed on the base display device 401 is a base value, a probability setting value or an error history. In addition, in the identification segment, by displaying a numerical value indicating what time the error type to be displayed relates to an error that occurred in time, the displayed error type is close to the time in time It can clearly indicate whether it is about an error that has occurred.

  Further, when displaying the base value on the base display device 401, while displaying the base value in two digits on the ratio segment, while displaying the error history on the base display device 401, the 7 segments on the right side of the ratio segment Only the display 401d is used to display the error type, and all the segments of the 7-segment display 401c on the left are turned off, so even if the identification segment is broken and can not be lit, the left side of the ratio segment Allowing a person in a hall or the like to clearly understand that the information displayed on the base display device 401 is not at least a base value by seeing that all the segments of the 7-segment display 401c are turned off it can. Then, from the situation such as when the pachinko machine 10 is not started up or the error display button 502 is pressed, the information displayed on the base display device 401 is an error history to the person concerned with holes etc. Can be easily grasped.

  Next, referring to FIG. 51, in the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37, the base display device 401 displays the probability setting value in the setting change mode (hereinafter referred to as "setting change display"). A display mode to be shown and a display mode to show that display of probability setting value in the setting confirmation mode (hereinafter referred to as “display in setting confirmation”) is performed will be described.

  First, FIG. 51 (a) is a schematic view schematically showing the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37. As shown in FIG. A plurality of LEDs 37a are provided as described above in the description of the first embodiment, and depending on the lighting state of the plurality of LEDs 37a, the variable display is performed, the symbol according to the lottery result is displayed after the variable display, Show. Further, the LED 37a includes seven round number notification LEDs 37a1 (first round number notification LED to seventh round number notification LED) for notifying of the maximum round number in the big hit when the big hit occurs.

  The pachinko machine 10 uses the round number notification LED 37a1 to turn on the round number notification LED 37a1 with a lighting pattern different from the notification of the maximum round number, thereby performing display during setting change or confirming the setting. Inform that the display is being performed.

  51B shows the lighting pattern for notifying that the maximum number of rounds is 2 and the lighting pattern for notifying that the maximum number of rounds is 15 in the round number notification LED 37a1, and the setting is being changed. It is the figure which showed the lighting pattern in the case of alerting | reporting that it is display, and the lighting pattern in the case of alerting | reporting that it is display during setting confirmation.

  The lighting pattern of the round number notification LED 37a1 for notifying that the maximum round number is 2 is “off” for the first round number notification LED, “off” for the second round number notification LED, and the third round number notification LED Is "OFF", the fourth round number notification LED is "OFF", the fifth round number notification LED is "ON", the sixth round number notification LED is "ON", and the seventh round number notification LED is "ON" .

  The lighting pattern of the round number notification LED 37a1 for notifying that the maximum round number is 15 is that the first round number notification LED is "on", the second round number notification LED is "on", and the third round number notification LED Is "on", the fourth round number notification LED is "on", the fifth round number notification LED is "off", the sixth round number notification LED is "off", and the seventh round number notification LED is "off" .

  The lighting pattern of the round number notification LED 37a1 for notifying that the setting is being changed is that the first round number notification LED is "on", the second round number notification LED is "off", and the third round number notification LED is "ON", the fourth round number notification LED is "ON", the fifth round number notification LED is "ON", the sixth round number notification LED is "OFF", and the seventh round number notification LED is "ON".

  The lighting pattern of the round number notification LED 37a1 for notifying that the setting is being confirmed is that the first round number notification LED is "ON", the second round number notification LED is "OFF", and the third round number notification LED is "ON", the fourth round number notification LED is "OFF", the fifth round number notification LED is "ON", the sixth round number notification LED is "OFF", and the seventh round number notification LED is "ON".

  In the present embodiment, the number-of-rounds notification LED 37a1 is used to notify not only the maximum rounds at the time of a big hit but also the setting change display or setting confirmation by a lighting pattern different from the lighting pattern used in the notification. Although the case of notifying that the display is performed has been described, an LED for notifying a jackpot symbol, an LED for notifying a winning symbol, an LED other than the round number notification LED 37a1, or the entire LED 37a is essential It is also possible to notify that the setting change display or the setting confirmation display is being performed using a lighting pattern which is not used in the notification. As a result, without changing the hardware configuration of the first symbol display device 37, the first symbol display device 37 can be notified of the setting change display or the setting confirmation display only by software control.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 52, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment will be described. FIG. 52 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10. The pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment is different from the pachinko machine 10 according to the fifth embodiment in that the setting key 501 and the error display button 502 are connected to the input / output port 205 of the main control device 110; The impact detection sensor 503 and the magnetic sensor 504 are connected to the input / output port 215 of the payout control device 111. Further, the point that an error detection signal is output from the payout control device 111 to the main control device 110 is also different from the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment.

  The setting key 501 outputs a signal indicating to the main controller 110 whether it is in the off state or in the on state. Main controller 110 grasps the state of setting key 501 in the start-up process executed when the power is turned on, and is output from RAM erase switch circuit 253 provided with RAM erase switch 122. The contents of the RAM erase signal SG2 and the signal output from the door open switch are grasped, and the start-up mode is determined based on the conditions shown in FIG.

  The error display button 502 outputs a signal indicating the presence or absence of the pressing operation to the main control device 110. The main control device 110 determines the presence / absence of pressing operation of the error display button 502 based on the signal output from the error display button 502, and displays the error history on the base display device 401 while the pressing operation is performed.

  The impact detection sensor 503 is a sensor for detecting that an impact is applied to the pachinko machine 10. The magnetic sensor 504 is a sensor for detecting that the magnet is brought close to the pachinko machine 10.

  When the impact detection sensor 503 detects that an impact is applied to the pachinko machine 10, the payout control device 111 applies an impact to the pachinko machine 10 by an unauthorized person, and the flow-down direction of the ball is illegally changed. To notify the main control unit 110 of the occurrence of the error as well as instructing the launch control unit 112 to stop the firing of the ball as the occurrence of a serious error. Output an error detection signal.

  Further, when the magnetic sensor 504 detects that the magnet is brought close to the pachinko machine 10, the payout control device 111 causes the magnet to be brought close to the pachinko machine 10 by an unauthorized person, and the flowing direction of the ball is illegally changed. To notify the main control unit 110 of the occurrence of the error as well as instructing the launch control unit 112 to stop the firing of the ball as the occurrence of a serious error. Output an error detection signal of

  When the main control device 110 receives an error detection signal from the payout control device 110, the main control device 110 stops the progress of the game. As a result, when there is a possibility that a serious error has occurred, the game in the pachinko machine 10 can be stopped. In addition, main controller 110 detects error data (impact detection error or magnet detection error) notified by an error detection signal received from payout control device 110 as error data 203t of RAM 203 described later (see FIG. 53). Store in). When the error display button 502 is pressed, an error history is displayed on the base display device 401 based on the error type stored in the error data 203t.

  FIG. 53 is a schematic view schematically showing data stored in the external work area 203y1 of the RAM 203 in the MPU 201 of the main control apparatus 110. At least the base value data 203r, the character ratio data 203s, and the error data 203t are stored in the outside work area 203y.

  The base value data 203r is data necessary for calculating a base value and displaying the calculated base value on the base display device 401. For example, the total out number counter shown in FIG. 39 (a) 203j, a low probability payout counter 203k, real time base value data 203l, last base value data 203m, last second base value data 203n, last second only base value data 203o, new start flag 203p and the like.

  The character ratio data 203r is a data necessary for calculating the character ratio and displaying the calculated character ratio on the base display device 401. For example, the counter 1 263a shown in FIG. , The first counter 263b, the first counter 263d, the second counter 263e, the large winning opening counter 263e, the out counter 263f, the character ratio data 264a, the data corresponding to the continuous character ratio data 264b or similar data .

  The error data 203 t is data indicating an error type of an error that has occurred in the pachinko machine 10. When an error detection signal is received from the payout control device 111, an error type indicated by the error detection signal is stored as error data 203t. When the error display button 502 is pressed, an error history is displayed on the base display device 401 based on the error type stored in the error data 203t.

  Here, when the error history displayed on the base display device 401 is only the error type that has occurred closest to the time, only the latest error type is always stored in the error data 203t. Specifically, when the main control device 110 receives an error detection signal from the payout control device 111, the main control device 110 overwrites the error data 203t with the error type indicated by the error detection signal. As a result, only the latest error type is always stored in the base display device 401, and as the error history displayed on the base display device 401, only the error type that has occurred closest to the time is displayed.

  On the other hand, in the case where the error history displayed on the base display device 401 is to display error types up to a plurality of times (for example, 4 times) retroactively from the error including an error that has occurred closest to the time. The error data 203t is stored a plurality of times in order of occurrence from the closest to the current time.

  For example, the error data 203t is the error type that occurred closest to the time, so that four error types are stored in the error data 203t in order from the closest to the current time in the error data 203t. Third error type storing the first error type data to be stored, second error type data storing an error type occurring second closest in time, and an error type occurring third closest in time It has data and 4th error classification data which store error classification which arose near the 4th in time temporally. Then, when the main control device 110 receives an error detection signal from the payout control device 111, it shifts the third error type data to the fourth error type data, shifts the second error type data to the third error type data, and The first error type data is shifted to the second error type data, and the error type indicated by the received error detection signal is stored as first error type data. As a result, the error data 203t stores error types for four times in order from the closest to the current time in the error data 203t, and the base display device 401 includes an error that has occurred closest to the time. A maximum of two or more (for example, four) error types are displayed from the error. Also, in this case, if the address of each error type data is assigned so that shift processing of each error type data can be performed with one LDIR instruction, the shift processing can be performed with only one LDIR instruction. .

  In the case where the error history displayed on the base display device 401 is to display error types up to a plurality of times (for example, 4 times) retroactively from the error including an error that has occurred closest to the time. The error data 203t may be configured by a ring buffer of the first in first out (FIFO) method, and the error types for a plurality of times may be stored. In this case, when receiving an error detection signal from the payout control device 111, the main control device 110 may update the address (ring buffer pointer) storing the error type.

  Here, when the pachinko machine 10 is launched in the RAM clear mode, at least the base value data 203r, the character ratio data 203s, and the error data 203t are held without being erased. Do. As a result, even if the RAM erase button 203 is turned on, the base value data 203r, the character ratio data 203s, and the error data 203t can not be erased, so these are displayed on the base display device 401. Can. Therefore, even if the fraudster turns on the RAM erase button 203 in an attempt to conceal the fraudulent activity, it can be suppressed that the evidence is concealed.

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 is activated in the setting change mode, and the data of the RAM 203 is also erased when the probability setting value is changed, but the base value data 203r and the error data 203t are erased. Keep it without holding it. This makes it possible to prevent the evidence from being concealed even if the fraudster changes the probability setting in an attempt to conceal the fraud. On the other hand, the character ratio data 203 s is deleted in the data deletion of the RAM 203 performed after the change of the probability setting value. This is because when the probability setting value is changed, the symbol ratio also changes. Therefore, if the symbol ratio data 203s based on the probability setting value before the change remains, the role ratio based on the probability setting value after the change This is because the object ratio can not be calculated correctly. On the other hand, since the base value does not change even if the probability setting value is changed, the base value data 203r is held, and information necessary for calculating the past base value and base value is held. In this way, it is possible to discover in the past the cheating done in the past without being concealed.

  As described above, in the data deletion of the RAM 203 after the probability setting value is changed, a part of the data related to the display of the base display device 401 is kept without being deleted and the remaining data By erasing the data of (1), the data can be held or erased according to the actual conditions of each data.

  In addition, in the outside work area 203y1, the ratio of the prize to the area to be divided into the area to be erased by erasing the data of the RAM 203 after the probability setting value has been changed and the area to be held without erasing The base value data 203r and the error data 203t may be stored in an area for storing the data 203s and holding the data without erasing. As a result, the data including the character ratio data 203s stored in the area to be erased can be easily erased by erasing the data of the RAM 203 after the change of the probability setting value has been made, and The data including the base value data 203r and the error data 203t stored in the area to be held without being held securely by erasing the data in the RAM 203 after the probability setting value is changed. it can.

  Next, referring to FIG. 54, a start-up process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 when the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment is powered on will be described. FIG. 54 is a flowchart showing this start-up process. This start-up process is started by the reset upon power-on.

  In this start-up process, first, an initial value setting process associated with power on is executed (S4001). For example, the access permission to the RAM 203 is set, and a predetermined value determined in advance is set in the stack pointer.

  Next, internal function register setting processing is executed (S4002). In this embodiment, a timer interrupt process (see FIG. 58) for main control of the game is executed triggered by a timer interrupt (hereinafter referred to as "4 millisecond timer interrupt") generated every 4 milliseconds, and the base The base display control process (see FIG. 57) for controlling the display content to be displayed on the display device 401 is executed triggered by a timer interrupt (hereinafter referred to as “two millisecond timer interrupt”) generated every two milliseconds. In the process of S4002, for example, these 4 millisecond timer interrupts and 2 millisecond timer interrupts are permitted. In addition, when random number values necessary for performing a big hit lottery or a win lottery are generated by a random number generation circuit (not shown) provided in main controller 110, the range of random number values to be generated in the process of S4002. Set the maximum value).

  In particular, by permitting the 2 millisecond timer interrupt in this internal function register setting process, the 2 millisecond timer interrupt is generated every 2 milliseconds and the base display control process is executed. Then, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting value can be displayed on the base display device 401.

  In the process of S4002, it is not necessary to permit the 4 millisecond timer interrupt or to set the range (maximum value) of the random value. In the process of S4002, when the 4-millisecond timer interrupt is not permitted or / and the range of the random number value (maximum value) is not set, the other processing described later executed in the step of shifting from the startup process to the main process is performed. In the raising process (S4013), permission of 4 millisecond timer interruption not performed in the process of S4002 or / and setting of a range (maximum value) of random numbers may be performed.

  Next, it is determined whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4003), and if it is turned on (S4003: Yes), whether the setting key 501 is on and the door open switch is on or not (S4004). If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S4004 (S4004: Yes), the RAM erase switch 122 is on, the setting key 501 is on, and the door open switch is on, as shown in FIG. The startup mode is set as the setting change mode, and the setting change process is executed (S4005).

  Here, the details of the setting change processing (S4005) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 55 is a flowchart showing the setting change process (S4005). The setting change process (S4005) is a process executed when the start-up mode is the setting change mode, and is a process for accepting and confirming the change of the probability setting value from the person in charge of the hall or the like.

  In the setting change process (S4005), first, the start of display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is set (S4101). With the start setting of the display of the probability setting value, the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is started by the control by the base display control process (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds. The display mode at this time is any one of FIGS. 49 (a), (b), (c-1), (d-1), and (e-1).

  Note that the probability setting value displayed here may be fixed to a specific value without fail. That is, when the startup mode is the setting change mode, the display may be always started on the base display device 401 with a specific probability setting value. The specific probability setting value may be, for example, “1” which is the minimum value of the probability setting values (“1” to “6”), or “3” or an intermediate value of the probability setting values. It may be 4 "or" 6 "which is the maximum value of the probability setting value. In this way, regardless of the probability setting value set before the power is turned off, Hall personnel and the like can change the probability setting value from the specific probability setting value.

  On the other hand, when the start-up mode is the setting change mode, the base display device 401 may start to display the probability setting value set before the power is turned off. Thus, a person in charge of holes and the like can change the probability setting value while considering the probability setting value set before the power is turned off.

  In addition, when the startup mode becomes the setting change mode, the probability setting value is displayed as “3” on the base display device 401 if the probability setting value is set to 3 or more before the power is turned off. If the probability setting value set before the power is turned off is less than 3, even if the probability setting value set before the power is turned off is displayed as it is. Good. For example, when the probability setting value set before power-off is high, such as "5" or "6", there are many cases where it is desirable to reduce the probability setting value slightly (for example, by 1). In such a case, if the probability setting value starts to be displayed with the probability setting value set before the power is turned off, the following problem occurs. That is, the update of the probability setting value is incremented by one each time the RAM erasing switch 122 is turned on. When the RAM erasing switch 122 is turned on when the probability setting value is "6", the probability setting value is It is done by returning to 1 '. Therefore, for example, when it is desired to change the probability setting value from “6” to “5”, it is necessary to make the probability setting value make one round while repeating the turning on of the RAM erase switch 122. On the other hand, when the probability setting value set before the power is turned off is high, the probability setting value is set to "3" to start the display while setting the probability while suppressing the number of times the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. Values can be updated.

  Next, it is judged whether the probability setting value is in the range of "1" to "6" (S4102), and if it is not within the predetermined range, that is, if it is an abnormal probability setting value (S4102) (No), change the probability setting value to the initial value (S4103), and shift to the processing of S4104. The initial value may be “1” which is the minimum value of the probability setting values (“1” to “6”), or “3” or “4” which is an intermediate value of the probability setting values. It may be “6” which is the maximum value of the probability setting value. On the other hand, if it is determined that the probability setting value is within the range of “1” to “6” as a result of the process of S4102 (S4102: Yes), the process of S4103 is skipped and the process proceeds to S4104. .

  In the process of S4104, it is determined whether the setting key 501 has been turned off (S4104). In the process of S4104, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the on state to the off state (edge detection), it is determined that the setting key 501 is in the off state. This is because, as described later, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up without the RAM erase switch 122 being turned on, the probability setting value is broken and within the normal range (range of “1” to “6”) If this is not the case, this setting change process is executed, but at this time, the setting key 501 is normally in the off state. If it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned off by detecting that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 is in the off state, the probability setting value is broken and the normal range ("1"). Even if the setting change process is executed, if the setting key 501 is in the OFF state, it is immediately positively determined in the process of S4104, and the probability setting is performed as described later. The value is fixed and the setting change process ends. Therefore, it becomes impossible for a person in charge of holes etc. to change the probability setting value. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4104 that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has transitioned from the on state to the off state, it is determined that the setting key 501 has been turned off. If the related party etc. does not make setting key 501 from the off state temporarily to the on state, and then it does not return to the off state, a positive determination is not made in the process of S4104. A change is possible.

  In addition, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up without the RAM erase switch 122 being turned on, setting is made even if the probability setting value is broken and not within the normal range (range of “1” to “6”). When the change process is not performed (for example, a case where the hall personnel are urged to restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode is applicable), the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 is in the off state It may be determined that the setting key 501 has been turned off by detecting the presence of the key.

  If it is determined as a result of the process of S4104 that the setting key is not in the off state (S4104: No), it is then determined whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4105). As a result, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on (S4105: No), the process returns to the process of S4102, and if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4105: Yes), the probability setting value Are updated (S4106), and the process returns to S4102. As described above, when the probability setting values until then are “1” to “5”, 1 is added to the probability setting values, and the probability setting is performed as described above. When the value is “6”, this is performed by returning the probability setting value to “1”. The probability setting value updated by the process of S4106 is displayed on the base display device 401 under the control of the base display control process (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds.

  S4102 → S4103 → S4104: No → S4105 (and S4106) → S4102 loop processing continues to be executed until it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned on by the processing in S4104 (S4104: Yes). Then, if it is determined that the setting key 501 has been turned on by the processing of S4104 (S4013: Yes), the probability setting value for using the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 in the future game will be set. It fixes as (S4107). Then, the end of the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is set (S4108), and the setting change process is ended. In the processing of S4108, the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is ended by the control by the base display control processing (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds by the end setting of the display of the probability setting value. The display of the base value on the base display device 401 is started.

  Referring back to FIG. 54, the description of the start-up process is continued. When the setting change process of S4005 ends, next, a setting change RAM clear process is executed (S4006). In this setting change RAM clear process, data used for controlling the game (predetermined data excluding the established set value stored in the internal work area 203x1) among the data stored in the RAM 203, and the bonus ratio data 203s While the base value data 203r and the error data 203t are held without being erased. Using the newly set probability setting value to start a new game by deleting data used for controlling the game (predetermined data excluding the established setting value stored in the internal work area 203x1) Can.

  Further, as described above, when the probability setting value is changed, the symbol ratio also changes, so when the symbol ratio data 203s based on the probability setting value before the change remains, the probability setting value after the variation is changed The feature ratio based on can not be calculated correctly. In the setting change RAM clearing process, by deleting the character ratio data 203s, it is possible to correctly calculate the character ratio based on the changed probability setting value.

  On the other hand, since the base value does not change even if the probability setting value is changed, in setting change RAM clear processing, in order to hold the base value data 203r and calculate the past base value and base value By keeping necessary information, it is possible to discover in the past the fraudulent acts conducted in the past without being concealed. Also, by holding the error data 203t in the setting change RAM clearing process, even if the unauthorized person who has caused the error starts the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, the error history is displayed. It can not be erased, and it is possible to suppress the concealment of fraudulent acts.

  After the processing of S4006, other start-up processing is executed (S4013), and the processing shifts to the main processing.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in the process of S4004 (S4004: No), the RAM erase switch 122 is on and the setting key 501 is off or the door open switch is off. If the RAM erase switch 122 is on and the setting key 501 is off, as shown in FIG. 47, the startup mode is set to the RAM clear mode, and the normal RAM clear processing is executed (S4007). If the RAM open switch 122 is on and the door open switch is off even if the setting key 501 is on (that is, if the inner frame 14 is closed), the startup mode is set. The normal RAM clear process is executed as the RAM clear mode, not the change mode (S4007). As a result, even though the inner frame 14 is closed with the setting key 501 turned on, the pachinko machine 10 is powered on and starts up in the setting change mode, thereby preventing the pachinko machine 10 from starting a game. it can.

  In the normal RAM clear process (S4007), among the data stored in the RAM 203, the data used for controlling the game (predetermined data excluding the established set value stored in the internal work area 203x1) is erased (cleared) The base value data 203r, the character ratio data 203s, and the error data 203t are held without being erased. A game can be newly started by deleting data (predetermined data excluding the established set value stored in the internal work area 203x1) used for controlling the game.

  On the other hand, the RAM erase button 203 is turned on to erase the data in the RAM 203 by holding the base value data 203r, the character ratio data 203s, and the error data 203t without erasing them. However, these can be displayed on the base display device 401. Therefore, even if the fraudster turns on the RAM deletion button 203 in an attempt to conceal the fraudulent activity, the fraudulent activity can be found from the base value, the feature ratio, the error history, etc. displayed on the base display device 401. .

  After the processing of S4007, other start-up processing is executed (S4013), and the processing shifts to the main processing.

  If it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is off as a result of the process of S4003 (S4003: No), then it is determined whether or not the occurrence information of the power failure is stored in the RAM 203 (S4008). If not (S4008: No), there is a possibility that the processing at the time of the previous power-off did not end normally, so also in this case, the processing proceeds to S4007 and normal RAM clear processing is executed (S4007) .

  If the power-off occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S4008: Yes), the RAM determination value is calculated, and it is determined whether the calculated RAM determination value is normal or not, that is, the calculated RAM determination value is saved at the time of power-off. It is determined whether it matches with the RAM determination value (S4009). The RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value at a work area address of the RAM 203. In the present embodiment, the probability setting value stored in the RAM 203 is also used to calculate the checksum value.

  If the calculated RAM determination value is not normal (S4009: No), that is, if the calculated RAM determination value does not match the RAM determination value stored at the time of power supply cutoff, the data of the backed up RAM 203 is destroyed. In this case, first, it is determined whether the probability setting value stored in the RAM 203 is within the normal range (range of “1” to “6”) (S4010). Then, if the probability setting value is within the normal range (S4010: Yes), the process proceeds to S4007 and normal RAM clear processing is executed. Note that, needless to say, the probability setting value is kept without being deleted in the normal RAM clearing process and the setting change RAM clearing process.

  On the other hand, if the probability setting value is not within the normal range, for example, “7” (S4010: No), the process proceeds to S4005 and executes the setting change process shown in FIG. Have the parties concerned set the probability setting value again. At this time, the third symbol display device may display a message prompting a change of the probability setting value, or the voice output device 226 may output a notification sound or voice notifying that. Further, an external terminal (not shown) provided in main controller 110 may notify hall computer that the probability setting value is not within the normal range. As a result, it is possible to notify a person in charge of holes and the like that it is necessary to set the probability setting value again.

  As a result of the process of S4009, if the calculated RAM determination value is normal (S4009: Yes), it is then determined whether the setting key 501 is on and the door open switch is on (S4011). If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S4011 (S4011: Yes), the RAM erase switch 122 is off, the setting key 501 is on, and the door open switch is on, as shown in FIG. The startup mode is set to the setting confirmation mode, and the setting confirmation processing is executed (S4012).

  Here, the details of the setting confirmation process (S4012) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 56 is a flowchart showing the setting confirmation process (S4012). The setting confirmation process (S4012) is a process that is executed when the startup mode is the setting confirmation mode, and is a process for displaying the probability setting value on the base display device 401.

  In the setting confirmation process (S4012), first, the start of display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is set (S4201). With the start setting of the display of the probability setting value, the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is started by the control by the base display control process (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds. The display mode at this time is any one of FIGS. 49 (a), (b), (c-2), (d-2), and (e-2).

  Next, it is determined whether the setting key 501 has been turned off (S4202). In the process of S4202, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the on state to the off state, it is determined that the setting key 501 is in the off state. Note that by detecting that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 is in the off state, it may be determined that the setting key 501 is in the off state.

  As a result of the process of S4202, if the setting key 501 is not in the off state (S4202: No), S4202 is repeatedly executed, and the process waits until the setting key 501 is turned off. During this time, the display of the probability setting value is continuously performed on the base display device 401. Then, when the setting key 501 is turned off (S4202: Yes), the end of display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is set (S4203), and the setting confirmation process is ended. In the processing of S4203, the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is ended by the control by the base display control processing (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds by the end setting of the display of the probability setting value. The display of the base value on the base display device 401 is started.

  The setting confirmation process (S4012) is performed after it is determined whether the RAM determination value (checksum) is normal. This is because, in the case where the RAM determination value is abnormal, it is considered that the RAM clear process should be performed before the probability setting value is confirmed. However, when the pachinko machine 10 is launched in the setting accuracy mode, the setting confirmation process may be executed before the determination as to whether or not the RAM determination value (checksum) is normal. .

  Referring back to FIG. 54, the description of the start-up process is continued. When the setting confirmation process of S4012 ends, the other start-up process is executed (S4013), and the process proceeds to the main process.

  When a negative determination is made in the process of S4011 (S4011: No), the RAM erase switch 122 is off, and the setting key 501 is off or the door open switch is off. If the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is off, as shown in FIG. 47, the startup mode is set to the normal mode, the setting confirmation process of S4012 is skipped, and the other standing of S4013 is made. Move up to main processing after executing the up processing. Also, if the RAM clear switch 122 is off and the door open switch is off even if the setting key 501 is on (that is, if the inner frame 14 is closed), the startup mode is set. The confirmation mode is not the normal mode, the setting confirmation process of S4012 is skipped, and the other start-up processes of S4013 are executed, and then the process proceeds to the main process. As a result, even though the inner frame 14 is closed with the setting key 501 turned on, the pachinko machine 10 is powered on and starts up in the setting confirmation mode, thereby preventing the pachinko machine 10 from starting a game. it can.

  Next, base display control processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the base display control process is a process of controlling the display content to be displayed on the base display device 401, and is executed triggered by a 2 millisecond timer interrupt that occurs every 2 milliseconds.

  In the base display control process, first, various setting processes for performing display control of the base display device 401 are executed in the base display device control circuit 402 (S4301). Next, it is determined whether the setting change of the probability setting value in the setting change mode is in progress (S4302), and if it is determined that the setting change is in progress (S4302: Yes), the probability setting value in the setting change The setting change segment data to be included is set as segment data (S4303), the segment data is output to the base display device control circuit 402 (S4309), and the base display control processing is terminated. Thereby, in the base display device 401, the probability setting value is displayed in one of the display modes shown in FIGS. 49 (a), (b), (c-1), (d-1), and (e-1). Ru.

  If it is determined that the setting change is not in progress as a result of the process of S4302 (S4302: No), it is then determined whether the setting confirmation of the probability setting value in the setting confirmation mode is in progress (S4304). As a result, if it is determined that setting confirmation is in progress (S4304: Yes), setting confirmation segment data including the probability setting value during setting confirmation is set as segment data (S4305), and the segment data is used as a base display device control circuit. It outputs to 402 (S4309), and ends this base display control processing. Thereby, in the base display device 401, the probability setting value is displayed in one of the display modes shown in FIGS. 49 (a), (b), (c-2), (d-2) and (e-2). Ru.

  If it is determined that the setting confirmation is not in progress as a result of the process of S4304 (S4304: No), it is then determined whether an error history is being displayed based on the fact that the error display button 502 is pressed ((S4304) S4306). As a result, if it is determined that the error history is being displayed (S4306: Yes), the error history segment data including the error type is set as segment data (S4307), and the segment data is output to the base display control circuit 402. Then (S4309), the base display control process ends. As a result, in the base display device 401, the error history is displayed in one of the display modes shown in FIGS. 50 (a), (b), (c-1) and (c-2).

  If it is determined that the error history is not displayed as a result of the processing of S4306 (S4306: No), normal game segment data including the base value or the character ratio is set as segment data (S4308), and that segment data is displayed as a base It outputs to the device control circuit 402 (S4309), and ends this base display control processing. As a result, in normal times, the base value or the character ratio is displayed on the base display device 401.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 58, a timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment will be described. FIG. 58 is a flowchart showing the timer interrupt process. As described above, this timer interrupt process is a process that performs main control of the game, and is executed triggered by a 4 millisecond timer interrupt that occurs every 4 milliseconds.

  In this timer interrupt process, first, it is determined whether the probability setting value is within a normal range (“1” to “6”) (S4401). Every time the timer interrupt processing is executed, by determining whether the probability setting value is within the normal range, even if the probability setting value is destroyed for some reason, it is discovered early can do.

  As a result of the processing of S4401, if the probability setting value is within the normal range (S4401: Yes), the normal game processing that performs the main control of the game is executed (S4402), and then the calculation of the bonus ratio and the base A ratio processing (base processing) is performed to carry out processing such as calculation of values, and management of information relating to the character product ratio and the base value (S4403), and the timer interrupt processing is ended.

  In the game process (S4402), for example, the processes of S101 to S111 of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10) executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 described in the first embodiment are executed. That is, the main control of the game includes the lottery of the big hit, the setting of the variable display, the opening and closing control of the big winning opening (large opening) 65a at the time of big hit, the winning lottery of the second symbol display device 83, etc. . Note that the MPU 201 uses the in-use area 203x (the internal work area 203x1 and the internal stack area 203x2) in the RAM 203 while performing the processing of S4402. On the other hand, the MPU 201 uses the out-of-use area 203y (outside work area 203y1 and outside stack area 203y2) in the RAM 203 while executing the processing of S4403.

  At this time, in the processing of S4403, as described in the third embodiment, from the game processing which performs the main control of the game using the in-use area area 203x, the bonus ratio and the base for using the out-of-use area 203y When shifting to processing regarding values, among the registers 200 provided in the MPU 201, the registers 200 used in processing regarding the item ratio are individually saved to the outside work area 203y1 of the RAM 203, while performing ratio processing and After execution of the processing related to the base processing, the processing related to the property ratio using the non-use area 203 y is shifted to the game processing for performing main control of the game using the in-use area 203 x (return), The registers 200 evacuated to the work area 203y1 may be restored individually.

  In addition, as described in the fourth embodiment, while executing processing using the use area inner area 203x, the processing to execute processing concerning the item ratio or the base value using the use area outside area 203y is a CALL instruction. At the stage of reading, the register 200 used in the processing relating to the item ratio or the base value may be individually cleared to 0, and the processing for executing the processing relating to the item ratio or the base value may be read by the CALL instruction. . Then, at the stage of ending the process using the out-of-use area 203y read by the CALL instruction and returning to the process using the in-use area 203x, the individual registers 200 used in the process related to the character ratio It may be possible to return to the duty ratio processing (base processing) after clearing to 0.

  On the other hand, if the probability setting value is not within the predetermined range as a result of the process of S4401 (S4401: No), the process does not proceed to the game process (S4402), sets a notification command (S4404), and displays the notification command. It is transmitted to the audio lamp control device 113. In response to the notification command, the audio lamp control device 113 outputs a notification sound or voice prompting the hall attendant or the like to restart the pachinko machine 10 and change the probability setting value from the voice output device 226. The display control device 114 outputs a command for causing the third symbol display device 81 to display a request for calling a person concerned with a hall. Further, an external terminal (not shown) provided in main controller 110 may notify hall computer that the probability setting value is not within the normal range. As a result, the hall personnel or the like restarts the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, and performs processing of changing the probability setting value.

  Further, following the processing of S4404, a ball emission stop instruction is issued to the payout control device 111 (S4405). This stops the firing of the ball. After the processing of S4405, the timer interrupt processing ends. And while the probability setting value is not within the normal range (S4401: No), even if the timer interrupt process is executed every 4 milliseconds, the game process (S4402) is not executed, so the game is not Completely stopped. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of any disadvantage for the player by continuously playing the game in the state of the abnormal probability setting value.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment, when powering on the pachinko machine 10 is started, regardless of the probability setting value, depending on whether the setting key 501 is turned off or on. It is possible to select the mode and the start-up mode related to the probability setting value. When the start-up mode not related to the probability setting value is selected, whether to set the start-up mode to the RAM clear mode or the normal mode can be selected according to whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. When setting the start-up mode related to the probability setting value, it is possible to select either the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. In this way, the hall personnel can easily understand what kind of operation is necessary as the operation to the pachinko machine 10 necessary for the start-up mode to be started, if the meaning of each start-up mode is understood. .

  Besides, the above-described effects can be obtained by the configuration mentioned in the description of the sixth embodiment. Further, the same configuration as the configuration of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to fifth embodiments can achieve the same effect as the effect obtained by the configuration.

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the fifth embodiment, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the probability setting value is updated by turning on the RAM clear switch 122, and it is detected that the setting key is turned off. In the case where the probability setting value is determined in the case of On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment, when the pachinko machine 10 is launched in the setting change mode, the probability setting value is updated by turning on the setting change switch (not shown). The probability setting value is determined by turning on the RAM clear switch 122.

  Here, the setting change switch is a switch for updating the probability setting value by being operated in the setting change mode, and like the error display button 502, the main substrate is opened from the hole provided in the substrate box 100. It is provided so as to protrude further and can be operated by a person in the hall or the like without opening the substrate box 100. The setting change switch normally outputs an off signal, and outputs an on signal when pressed down.

  Hereinafter, the pachinko machine 10 of the seventh embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the seventh embodiment, the same components and processes as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to sixth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to sixth embodiments. I omit explanation.

  FIG. 59 is a flowchart showing setting change processing (S4005) executed in the startup processing (see FIG. 54) by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 according to the seventh embodiment. The setting change process (S4005) is a process that is executed when the start-up mode is the setting change mode as in the sixth embodiment, and accepts and fixes the change of the probability setting value from the person in charge of the hall or the like. It is a process for

  In the setting change process according to the seventh embodiment, first, the processes of S4101 to S4103 similar to those of the sixth embodiment are executed, and then it is determined whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4111). As a result, when it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on (S4111: No), it is then determined whether the setting change switch is turned on (S4112).

  As a result, if it is determined that the setting change switch is not turned on (S4112: No), the processing returns to S4102, and if it is determined that the setting change switch is turned on (S4112: Yes), the sixth embodiment The probability setting value is updated (S4106) in the same manner as in S4106 (see FIG. 55), and the process returns to S4102. The probability setting value updated by the process of S4106 is displayed on the base display device 401 under the control of the base display control process (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds.

  The loop processing of S4102 → S4103 → S4111: No → S4112 (and S4106) → S4102 continues to be executed until it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on by the processing of S4111 (S4111: Yes). Then, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on by the process of S4111 (S4111: Yes), the probability setting value used in the game from here on will be the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 It fixes as (S4107). Once the probability setting value is determined, the data in the RAM 203 is erased (cleared) as described above in the sixth embodiment. Therefore, by making the person in charge of hall or the like turn on the RAM erase switch 122 to determine the probability setting value, it is possible to make the person in charge of hole or the like strongly recognize that the data of the RAM 203 is to be erased thereafter.

  After the process of S4107, it is then determined whether the setting key 501 has been turned on (S4113). In the process of S4113, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has transitioned from the on state to the off state, it may be determined that the setting key 501 has been turned off, or the setting key 501. It may be determined that the setting key 501 has been turned off by detecting that the level of the signal output from the switch is in the off state.

  As a result of the process of S4113, while it is determined that the setting key 501 is not in the off state (S4113: No), the process of S4113 is repeatedly executed. When it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned off as a result of the process of S4113 (S4113: Yes), the end of display of the probability setting value in the base display device 401 is set (S4108), and the setting change process is performed. Finish. In the processing of S4108, the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is ended by the control by the base display control processing (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds by the end setting of the display of the probability setting value. The display of the base value on the base display device 401 is started.

  As described above, the configuration described in the description of the seventh embodiment can achieve the above-described effects. Further, the same configuration as the configuration of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to sixth embodiments can achieve the same effect as the effect obtained by the configuration.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 60 to 66, a pachinko machine 10 according to an eighth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the sixth and seventh embodiments, the probability setting value can be updated by the pachinko machine 10 being activated in the setting change mode, and the probability setting value can be confirmed by the activation in the setting confirmation mode. Explained. Also, according to the case where the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 is selected from the normal mode, the RAM clear mode, the setting change mode, and the setting confirmation mode according to the operation state of the RAM erase switch 122 and setting key 501 at the time of power on. explained.

  Here, when the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like during the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, the problem is what mode to start up when the power is turned on again. The pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment solves the problem. In the eighth embodiment, an abnormality in the RAM 203 (hereinafter referred to as "RAM abnormality"), the fact that the setting change processing has been performed, and the fact that the setting confirmation processing has been performed are all made via the external output terminal 503. Output to the computer 600. A person in charge of a hall can grasp RAM abnormality which arose in the pachinko machine 10, the fact that the setting change process or the setting confirmation was performed, etc. through the call computer 600.

  Hereinafter, the pachinko machine 10 of the eighth embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth and eighth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the eighth embodiment, the same components and processes as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to seventh embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to seventh embodiments. I omit explanation.

  FIG. 60 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of a pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment. The pachinko machine 10 of the eighth embodiment is different from the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment in that an external output terminal 503 is connected to the input / output port 205 of the main control device 110. The external output terminal 503 is configured to be connectable to the hall computer 600. The external output terminal 503 is provided protruding from the hole provided in the substrate box 100 from the main substrate, and the external connection terminal 503 is connected to a connector (not shown) of a wire connected to the hole computer 600. The signal and data output from the main controller 110 are relayed to the hall computer 600 with respect to the hall computer 600.

  FIG. 61 is a schematic view schematically showing data stored in an internal work area 203x1 of the RAM 203 in the MPU 201 of the main control apparatus 110. In this work area 203x1, probability setting value data 203x11, change probability setting value data 203c12, setting changing flag 203x13, setting confirming flag 203x14, RAM abnormality flag 203x15, and RAM erasing switch flag 203x16 are stored. At least stored.

  The probability setting value data 203x11 is data indicating a probability setting value set (fixed) in the pachinko machine 10. Also in this embodiment, as in the sixth and seventh embodiments, “1” to “6” can be set as the probability setting value, and each probability setting value (“1” to “6”) On the other hand, the jackpot random number value and / or the jackpot random number value of the second symbol is stored in advance in the ROM 202. The jackpot probability of the probability setting value and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol is determined by the number of jackpot random number values determined for each probability setting value and / or the number of hit random numbers of the second symbol. In the pachinko machine 10, the smaller the probability setting value (closer to 1), the lower the probability of winning a jackpot and / or the second symbol, and the larger the probability setting value (closer to 6), a jackpot probability and / or Alternatively, for each probability setting value, a jackpot random number value and / or a random number value of the second symbol is determined such that the probability of hitting the second symbol is high.

  In the setting change process executed by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110, which is executed when the pachinko machine 10 is launched in the setting change mode, the probability setting value determined by the hall personnel etc. is the probability setting value data 203x11 Stored in The pachinko machine 10 sets the jackpot random number value corresponding to the probability setting value indicated by the probability setting value data 203x11 and / or the second random symbol value of the second symbol based on the ROM 202, and the jackpot lottery or the second lottery symbol lottery Run.

  In addition, the jackpot random number value and / or the jackpot random number value of the second symbol is fixed, and the range and / or random number of the random numbers generated to perform the jackpot lottery for each probability setting value (“1” to “6”) Alternatively, the range of the random numbers generated to perform the second lottery of the symbol may be stored in advance in the RAM 202. The range of the jackpot random number determined for each probability setting value and / or the range of the jackpot random number of the second symbol determines the jackpot probability in the probability setting value and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol. In this case, the pachinko machine 10 is a range of random numbers generated for performing a big hit lottery corresponding to the probability setting value indicated by the probability setting value data 203x11 and / or of random numbers generated for performing a lottery for the second symbol. A range is set to generate a random number for performing a jackpot lottery and / or a random number for performing a lottery for the second symbol.

  The probability setting value data for update 203 x 12 is updated by a person in charge of the hall or the like before the probability setting value is determined in the setting change process executed when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode. It is data indicating a set value. That is, while the above-mentioned probability setting value data 203x11 is data indicating the decided probability setting value, the updating probability setting value data 203x12 is updated by the person in charge of the hall or the like before the decision in the setting change processing. Data indicating the updated probability setting value.

  Specifically, when execution of the setting change process is started, first, the fixed set value data 203x11 is stored as the update probability set value data 203x12. That is, the probability setting values so far are set in the updating probability setting value data 203x12, and starting from the probability setting values so far, the hall participants etc. are made to update the probability setting values. Then, whenever the RAM erase switch 122 which also serves as a switch for updating the probability setting value is turned on, the updating probability setting value data 203x12 is incremented by one, and the updating probability setting value data 203x12 is "6". When the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on at this time, the update probability setting value data 203x12 is updated to "1". Then, when the setting key 501 is turned off, the update probability setting value data 203x12 is stored as the probability setting value data 203x11, and the probability setting value updated by the person in charge of the hall or the like is used in the future game It is decided as a probability setting value.

  Here, in the setting change process, instead of updating the probability setting value using the probability setting value data 203x11, the probability setting value is updated using the updating probability setting value data 203x12 for the following reason. . That is, when the probability setting value is updated using the probability setting value data 203x11, if the power is cut off due to a power failure or the like during the setting change process, the probability setting value which has been used for the game is erased by the update. It will be done. Therefore, even if it tries turning on the power again, starting up the pachinko machine 10, and trying to change the probability setting value again, it can be done because the probability setting value used in the previous game is lost. It disappears. In this case, although it is possible to resume the setting change process from the probability setting value stored in the probability setting value data 203x11 before the power failure, that is, the probability setting value in the middle of setting change, it is assumed that the probability setting value not confirmed is saved. There is a risk of giving an illusion of

  In addition, depending on the relationship between the timing when the hall personnel or the like turns on the RAM erase switch 122 and the timing when the power is turned off, an event occurs in which the probability setting value data 203x11 is not updated even though the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. obtain. In that case, a difference occurs between the probability setting value that the hall official thought that he or she updated and the probability setting value stored by the pachinko machine 10, so that there is a possibility that the hall official etc. may feel distrust.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the probability setting value is updated in the setting change process, the probability setting value is updated by changing the probability setting value using the updating probability setting value data 203x12. The probability setting value used so far can be added to 203x11. As a result, even if the power is turned off during the setting change process, the probability setting value used in the previous game remaining as the probability setting value data 203x11 is updated for the setting change process to be executed again. By storing the probability setting value data 203 x 12, the probability setting value can be updated again from the beginning. Therefore, the person in charge of the hall can reassertly update the probability setting author.

  The setting change in progress flag 203x13 is a flag indicating whether the setting change process is being performed. The setting update in progress flag 203x13 indicates that the setting change process is being performed when the flag is on, and indicates that the setting change process is not being performed when the flag is off. The setting change in progress flag 203x13 is normally set to off. Then, when the execution of the setting change process is started, the setting change in progress flag 203x13 is set to on. When the probability setting value updated in the setting change process is determined and the execution of the setting change process ends, the setting change in progress flag 203x13 is turned off.

  Now, if the setting change in progress flag 203x13 is on in the start-up process executed by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 when the power is turned on, the setting change process is being executed when the power is turned off last time. It indicates that the power has been turned off while updating the probability setting value by the setting change process. Therefore, in this case, the startup mode of the pachinko machine 10 is partially changed.

  Here, referring to FIG. 62, a start-up mode when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during the setting change will be described. FIG. 62 is a diagram for describing a start-up mode set corresponding to each start-up operation when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during setting change or setting confirmation.

  As shown in FIG. 62, after the power is turned off during the setting change, the start-up operation for starting in the normal mode, that is, the power is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off with the setting key 501 off. When the start-up operation is performed, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode in which the setting change processing is executed from the beginning (from one) and executed again, instead of starting up in the normal mode.

  After the power was turned off during the setting change, the start operation for starting in the RAM clear mode, that is, the start operation of turning on the RAM erase switch 122 and turning on the power with the setting key 501 turned off In this case, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode in which the setting change process is executed from the beginning (from one) and not in the RAM clear mode.

  After the power is turned off during the setting change, the start-up operation for starting in the setting change mode, that is, the start-up operation of turning on the setting key 501 and turning on the RAM erase switch 122 to turn on the power In the case of the start operation, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode as the start-up operation. In this case, too, the setting change process is executed from the beginning (starting from scratch).

  After the power is turned off during the setting change, start-up operation to start in the setting confirmation mode, that is, start-up operation to turn on the power with the setting key 501 turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 turned off In this case, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode in which the setting change process is executed from the beginning (starting from the beginning) instead of the setting confirmation mode.

  As described above, in the startup mode when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during the setting change, the startup operation is not only the startup operation for starting up in the setting change mode but also other startup operations. Even in the case of the raising operation, the setting change mode is performed in which the setting change process is executed from the beginning. As a result, when the power is turned off during the setting change, the probability setting value can be changed from the beginning to the person in charge of the hall or the like when the power is turned on after that. Therefore, it is possible to make a person in charge of hall or the like reliably change the probability setting value and fix the change. Therefore, even when the power is turned off during the setting change, the person in charge of the hall can surely update and confirm the probability setting value when the power is turned on again, and the pachinko machine can be relieved. A change in probability settings for 10 can be made.

  Also, by re-doing the setting change process from the beginning (from scratch), it is possible to continue updating from the probability setting value during updating at the time the power is turned off during the setting change, and not to restart the updating of the probability setting value. It is possible to redo the updating of the probability setting value from the beginning using the probability setting value (probability setting value data 233x11) used in the game so far. Therefore, the person in charge of the hall can reassertly update the probability setting author.

  Referring back to FIG. 61, the description will be continued. The setting confirmation in progress flag 203x14 is a flag indicating whether the setting confirmation process executed by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 is being executed when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting confirmation mode as the start-up mode. is there. The setting confirmation in progress flag 203x14 indicates that the setting confirmation process is being executed when the flag is on, and indicates that the setting confirmation process is not being executed when the flag is off. The setting confirmation flag 203x14 is normally set to off. When execution of the setting confirmation process is started, the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is set to ON, and when the setting confirmation process is finished, the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is turned off.

  By the way, when the setting confirmation in progress flag 203x14 is on in the start-up process executed by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 when the power is turned on, the setting confirmation process is being executed when the power is turned off last time. It indicates that the power has been turned off during confirmation of the probability setting value by the setting confirmation processing. Therefore, in this case, the startup mode of the pachinko machine 10 is partially changed.

  Here, referring to FIG. 62 again, the start-up mode when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during the setting confirmation will be described. As shown in FIG. 62, after the power is turned off during the setting confirmation, the start-up operation for starting in the normal mode, that is, the power is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off with the setting key 501 off. When the start-up operation is performed, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting confirmation mode in which the setting confirmation process is executed from the beginning (from above) and executed again instead of the normal mode. As a result, after the power is turned off during the setting confirmation, the probability setting value can be confirmed even if a person in charge of hall or the like starts up by the operation in the normal mode. As a result, the person in charge of the hall can confirm that the probability setting value has not been destroyed due to the power being turned off during the setting confirmation, so that the pachinko machine 10 can be launched with confidence.

  After the power was turned off during the setting check, the start operation to start in the RAM clear mode, that is, the start operation to turn on the RAM erase switch 122 and turn on the power with the setting key 501 turned off In the case of the hall operator's startup operation, the pachinko machine 10 is launched in the RAM clear mode. The fact that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on indicates that Hall personnel or the like at least clearly want to clear the RAM. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the RAM clear mode, it is possible to perform a start-up process according to the person concerned with the hall and the like.

  After power is turned off during setting confirmation, start-up operation to start in setting change mode, that is, start-up operation to turn on the setting key 501, turn on the RAM erase switch 122, and turn on the power Also in the case of the setting operation, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode as in the case of the start-up operation. Also in this case, the fact that the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on clearly indicates that the person in charge of the hall or the like clearly wants to change the probability setting value. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, it is possible to perform the start-up process according to the intention of the person concerned with holes and the like.

  After the power is turned off during the setting change, start-up operation to start in the setting confirmation mode, that is, start-up operation to turn on the power with the setting key 501 turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 turned off Also in the case of the setting operation, the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting confirmation mode as in the start-up operation. Also in this case, the fact that the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on clearly indicates that Hall personnel or the like clearly desire to check the probability setting value again. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting confirmation mode in which the setting confirmation process is executed from the beginning (starting from the top), it is possible to perform the start-up process according to the person concerned with the hall.

  Referring back to FIG. 61, the description will be continued. The RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is a flag for indicating that the RAM 203 has an abnormality such as destruction of data stored in the RAM 203. The RAM abnormality flag 203x15 indicates that the RAM 203 has an abnormality when it is on, and indicates that there is no abnormality in the RAM 203 if it is off.

  The RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is normally set to off. Then, in the start-up process executed by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 when the power is turned on, the RAM 203 does not have generation information of the power-off which should be stored at the time of the previous power failure. If the determination value (checksum) is not normal or the probability setting value is not within the normal range (“1” to “6”), it is determined that the RAM 203 is abnormal and the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned on.

  When the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned on, notification of the RAM abnormality is given to urge to restart in the setting change mode, and to that effect the hole computer 600 is notified via the external output terminal 503, and the main The MPU 201 of the control device 110 is in an infinite loop state. As a result, the hall personnel or the like are allowed to restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, to surely reset the probability setting value, clear the RAM 203, and the pachinko machine 10 can operate normally. It can be directed as follows.

  The RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is a flag indicating the previous state of the RAM erase switch 122 in the MPU 201 of the main control apparatus 110. In the present embodiment, the RAM erase switch 122 is used when determining the start-up mode when starting up the pachinko machine 10, and when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the probability setting value is It is also used when updating. That is, every time the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on, the probability setting value is updated.

  At this time, when the state of the RAM erase switch 122 is changed from the off state to the on state, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on, and the probability setting value is updated. The RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is used to determine whether the state of the RAM erase switch 122 is changed from the off state to the on state. That is, when the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 indicating the previous state of the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the RAM erase switch 122 is on, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is on. Then, after the determination is made, the state of the RAM erase switch 122 at that time is stored in the RAM erase switch flag 203x16.

  Here, after the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is first temporarily determined whether the state of the RAM erase switch 122 has been switched from the off state to the on state. Set to “On”. This is because, at the stage where it is first determined whether the state of the RAM erase switch 122 has been switched from the off state to the on state, the RAM erase switch is still operated as a startup operation for launching the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode. While it is possible that the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is turned off at this time, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is turned off and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. There is a possibility that the probability setting value may be updated by erroneously determining that the RAM erase switch 122 has been turned on for updating the probability setting value. As a result, the Hall personnel and others are distrusted by the fact that the probability setting value has been updated despite the fact that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on for updating the probability setting value.

  On the other hand, after the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is temporarily set to “1” before determining whether the state of the RAM erase switch 122 is switched from the off state to the on state first. By setting it to “on”, even if the RAM erase switch 122 is still turned on as a start-up operation for starting the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode at the time of this first determination, it is set as a probability It can be erroneously determined that the ON operation of the RAM erase switch 122 for updating the value has been made, and updating of the probability setting value can be suppressed.

  Next, referring to FIG. 63, a start-up process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control apparatus 110 when the pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment is powered on will be described. FIG. 63 is a flowchart showing this start-up process. This start-up process is started by the reset upon power-on.

  In this start-up process, first, an initial value setting process associated with power on is executed (S4201). For example, access permission to the RAM 203 is set, and a predetermined value determined in advance is set in the stack pointer.

  Next, internal function register setting processing is executed (S4202). Also in this embodiment, as in the sixth and seventh embodiments, a 2 millisecond timer interrupt that generates a base display control process (see FIG. 57) for controlling the display content to be displayed on the base display device 401 every 2 milliseconds. Execute as a trigger. In the processing of S4202, for example, the 2 millisecond timer interrupt is permitted. In addition, when random number values required to perform a big hit lottery or a win lottery are generated by a random number generation circuit (not shown) provided in main controller 110, the range of random number values to be generated in the process of S4202 Set the maximum value). Further, in the process of S4202, access to the RAM 203 is permitted. Further, in the process of S4202, the main control device 110 performs various settings for transmitting and receiving signals by serial communication with the payout control device 111 and the audio lamp control device 113.

  In particular, by permitting the 2 millisecond timer interrupt in this internal function register setting process, the 2 millisecond timer interrupt is generated every 2 milliseconds and the base display control process is executed. Then, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting value can be displayed on the base display device 401.

  In the process of S4202, it is not necessary to set the range (maximum value) of random numbers. In the process of S4202, when setting of the range (maximum value) of the random number value is not performed, in (S4221) of the other start-up process described later executed at the stage of shifting from the start-up process to the main process, The setting of the range (maximum value) of random numbers not performed in the process of S4202 may be performed.

  Next, it is judged whether or not the occurrence information of the power-off is stored in the RAM 203 (S4203). As a result, if the power-off occurrence information is stored (S4203: Yes), this means that the processing at the previous power-off is normally completed, so next, the RAM determination value is calculated and calculated. It is determined whether the determined RAM determination value is normal, that is, whether the calculated RAM determination value matches the RAM determination value stored when the power is turned off (S4204). The RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value at a work area address of the RAM 203. In the present embodiment, the probability setting value stored in the RAM 203 is excluded from the calculation of the checksum value. However, the probability setting value may be included in the calculation of the checksum value.

  If it is determined that the calculated RAM determination value matches the RAM determination value stored at the time of power interruption (S4204), the RAM determination value is normal, and at least the data used to calculate the RAM determination value. Since it can be judged that (information) is normally held, it is next judged whether the probability setting value is within the normal range (“1” to “6”) (S4205). Here, to determine whether or not the probability setting value is within the normal range, the processing related to the power-off was normally performed when the power was turned off last time, but the probability setting value is at that stage. It is because it may be broken and out of the normal range. The process of S4205 is performed to reliably detect such an abnormality of the probability setting value.

  Then, if the probability setting value is within the normal range (S4205: Yes), it is then determined whether the setting change in progress flag 203x13 is on (S4206). If the setting change in progress flag 203x13 is on (S4206: Yes), the setting change process is being executed when the power is turned off last time, that is, the power supply is updated while the probability setting value is being updated by the setting change process. Indicates that was cut off. Therefore, in this case, the process shifts to the process of S4213 and executes the setting change process (S4213).

  As a result, the start-up mode when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during the setting change is not only the start-up operation for starting up the setting change mode but also other start-up operations. Even in the case of the operation, it is possible to set a setting change mode in which the setting change process is executed from the beginning. Therefore, when the power is turned off during the setting change, when the power is turned on after that, it is possible to make the person concerned with holes etc. change the probability setting value from scratch. Therefore, it is possible to make a person in charge of hall or the like reliably change the probability setting value and fix the change. Therefore, even when the power is turned off during the setting change, the person in charge of the hall can surely update and confirm the probability setting value when the power is turned on again, and the pachinko machine can be relieved. A change in probability settings for 10 can be made.

  Also, by re-doing the setting change process from the beginning (from scratch), it is possible to continue updating from the probability setting value during updating at the time the power is turned off during the setting change, and not to restart the updating of the probability setting value. It is possible to redo the updating of the probability setting value from the beginning using the probability setting value (probability setting value data 233x11) used in the game so far. Therefore, the person in charge of the hall can reassertly update the probability setting author. The details of the setting change process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  On the other hand, if the setting change in progress flag 203x13 is on as a result of the process of S4206 (S4206: No), it means that the setting change process was not being executed when the power was turned off last time, so next, Hall As a process of confirming the start-up operation performed when a person in charge etc. powers on the pachinko machine 10, it is determined whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4207). In the process of S4207, since the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is not permitted and the timer interrupt process described later is not executed, the state of the RAM erase switch 122 is selected in the switch state read process of the timer interrupt process. Rather than making a decision using the read one, the I / O port 205 is directly accessed to read the state of the RAM erase switch 122.

  As a result of the process of S4207, if the RAM erase switch 122 is off (S4207: No), it is then determined whether the setting key 501 is in the on state to further check the start-up operation ( S4208). In the present embodiment, only the case where it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is turned on will be described. However, as in the sixth and seventh embodiments, the setting key 501 is in the on state and the door is opened. It may be determined whether the switch is on.

  As a result of the processing of S4208, when the setting key 501 is in the off state (S4208: N0), since the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is in the off state, the person in charge of the hall starts in the normal mode. It means having operated. Then, it is determined whether the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is on (S4209). As a result, when the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is on (S4209: Yes), the setting confirmation process is being executed when the power is turned off last time, that is, the confirmation of the probability setting value by the setting confirmation process Indicates that the power was turned off. In this case, as shown in FIG. 62, the setting confirmation process is executed from the head (S4210). By the setting confirmation process, the established setting value currently set is displayed on the base display device 401. Thereby, the established setting value can be confirmed.

  As described above, even when the person in charge of the hall performs the start-up operation for starting in the normal mode as the start-up operation, the setting confirmation process is started from the head instead of starting the pachinko machine 10 in the normal mode ( Start up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting confirmation mode to execute again from scratch. As a result, after the power is turned off during the setting confirmation, the probability setting value can be confirmed even if a person in charge of hall or the like starts up by the operation in the normal mode. As a result, the person in charge of the hall can confirm that the probability setting value has not been destroyed due to the power being turned off during the setting confirmation, so that the pachinko machine 10 can be launched with confidence. The details of the setting confirmation process will be described with reference to FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is off as a result of the process of S4209 (S4209: No), it means that the setting confirmation process was not being executed when the power was turned off last time. . Also, the process of S4209 is executed when the setting changing flag 203x13 is determined to be off in the process of S4206 (S4206: No), that is, when the power is turned off last time, the setting changing process is performed. It is not even running.

  Therefore, in this case, the start-up mode is set to the normal mode indicated by the person in charge of hall or the like by the start-up operation, the setting confirmation process of S4210 and the process of S4211 described later are skipped and other start-up processes are performed. After (S4214), the process proceeds to the main process. As another start-up process, 4 millisecond timer interrupt is permitted. In the present embodiment, as in the sixth or seventh embodiment, timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 58) for main control of the game is executed triggered by a 4 ms timer interrupt generated every 4 ms. . By permitting the 4 millisecond timer interrupt in the process of S4214, the timer interrupt process is executed every 4 milliseconds.

  Further, in the main processing of this embodiment, only the update processing of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 and the update processing of the variation type counter CS1 (S702 and S703 in FIG. 17) are executed during the loop. Perform infinite loop processing. The power failure monitoring process executed in the main process in the first embodiment etc. (monitoring whether or not there is power failure occurrence information, processing for executing a process related to power failure when there is power failure occurrence information, FIG. 17 The processes of S701 and S704 to S707) are executed in the timer interrupt process in the present embodiment.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the setting key 501 is in the on state as a result of the process of S4208 (S4208: Yes), the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is in the on state. Means that the start-up operation has been performed in the setting confirmation mode. Here, the process of S4208 is executed when the setting changing flag 203x13 is determined to be off in the process of S4206 (S4206: No), that is, when the power is turned off last time. Is not running. Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 62, regardless of whether or not the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time, the pachinko machine 10 is operated in the setting confirmation mode in which the hall personnel etc. started and operated. In order to start up, the process proceeds to the process of S4210, and the setting confirmation process is executed (S4210). By the setting confirmation process, the established setting value currently set is displayed on the base display device 401. Thereby, the established setting value can be confirmed. The details of the setting confirmation process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When the setting confirmation process (S4210) is ended, the external output process is executed (S4211). In the external output process, information indicating that the setting confirmation process has been executed or that the established setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 is output to the hall computer 600 via the external output terminal 503. As a result, the person in charge of the hall can grasp that the setting confirmation process is executed by the pachinko machine 10 and the established setting value is displayed on the base display device 401. Therefore, when the display of the established setting value is performed illegally, it can be grasped quickly. After the external output process is executed, the other start-up process is executed (S4221), and the process shifts to the main process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on in the process of S4207, which is a process for confirming the start-up operation performed when the Hall official or the like turns on the pachinko machine 10, S4207: Yes) In order to further confirm the start-up operation, it is determined whether the setting key 501 is in the on state (S4212). In the present embodiment, only the case where it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is turned on will be described. However, as in the sixth and seventh embodiments, the setting key 501 is in the on state and the door is opened. It may be determined whether the switch is on.

  If the setting key 501 is in the on state as a result of the process of S4212 (S4212: Yes), the person in charge of the hall stands in the setting change mode because the RAM erase switch 122 is on and the setting key 501 is in the on state. It means that the operation was raised. When the start-up operation is performed in the setting change mode, as shown in FIG. 62, whether or not the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time, regardless of whether the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is on or not. Regardless of the type, the startup mode of the pachinko machine 10 is set as the setting change mode.

  Therefore, when the setting key 501 is in the on state as a result of the processing of S4212 (S4212: Yes), the setting change processing is executed (S4213). When the establishment setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 by the setting change process and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on by a person in charge of the hall, the establishment setting value is updated, and the setting key 501 is turned off. Then, the updated established setting value is decided as the established setting value to be used for the future game, and the RAM clear processing is performed. Thus, after changing the established setting value, it is possible to newly start the gaming machine with the changed established setting value. Details of the setting confirmation process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Here, even if the setting confirmation process is being executed when the power is turned off last time, the person concerned with the hall is that the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. Etc clearly show the intention to change the probability setting value. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, it is possible to perform the start-up process according to the intention of the person concerned with holes and the like.

  When the setting change process (S4213) is ended, the external output process is executed (S4214). In this external output process, information indicating that the setting change process has been executed or that the established setting value has been changed is output to the hall computer 600 via the external output terminal 503. As a result, the person concerned with holes can grasp that the setting change process is executed by the pachinko machine 10 and the established set value is changed. Therefore, when the established setting value is illegally changed, it can be grasped quickly. After the external output process is executed, the other start-up process is executed (S4221), and the process shifts to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the setting key 501 is in the off state as a result of the process of S4212 (S4212: No), then it is determined whether or not the RAM is abnormal by referring to the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is on. (S4215). Here, the process of S4207 determines that the RAM erase switch 122 is on (S4207: Yes), the process of S4212 determines that the setting key is off (S4212: No), and the process of S4215 is executed. If it is determined that the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is always off, it is determined that the RAM abnormality is not present in the process of S4215 (S4215: No).

  Further, in this case, since it is determined that the setting changing flag 203x13 is off in the process of S4206 (S4206: No), the setting changing process is not being executed when the power is turned off last time. is there. Therefore, the process of S4207 determines that the RAM erase switch 122 is on (S4207: Yes), the process of S4212 determines that the setting key is off (S4212: No), and the process of S4215 determines that the RAM is abnormal. If it is not determined (S4215: No), it means that the hall official etc. started up operation in the RAM clear mode, and the setting change process was not being executed when the power was turned off last time, so As shown in 62, the pachinko machine 10 is started in the RAM clear mode regardless of whether the setting confirmation process is being executed when the power is turned off last time. Therefore, the RAM clear process is executed (S4216).

  In this RAM clear process, among the data stored in the RAM 203, data used for controlling the game (predetermined data except the established set value data 203x11 stored in the internal work area 203x1) is erased (cleared), The combination ratio data 203s, the base value data 203r, the error data 203t (see FIG. 53) stored in the outside work area 203y are held without being deleted. A game can be newly started by deleting data (predetermined data except the established set value data 203x11 stored in the internal work area 203x1) used for controlling the game. Further, since the established setting value data 203x11 is held even when the RAM clear process is executed, the game can be continued with the established set value decided before the RAM clear process is executed.

Here, as described above, even if the setting confirmation process is being executed when the power is turned off last time, there is no abnormality in the RAM, and the start operation for starting in the RAM clear mode is performed. In the case of the hall operator, the pachinko machine 10 is launched in the RAM clear mode as the startup operation of the hall personnel. The fact that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on indicates that Hall personnel or the like at least clearly want to clear the RAM. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the RAM clear mode, it is possible to perform the start-up process according to the intention of the hall personnel etc. When the RAM clear process in S4216 is finished, the other start-up process is executed. After that (S4221), it shifts to main processing.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the power-off occurrence information is not stored in the RAM 203 by the process of S4203 (S4203: No), the RAM determination value calculated by the process of S4204 is the RAM determination value stored at the time of power-off. If they do not match and it is determined that the RAM determination value is abnormal (S4204: No), it is determined in the process of S4205 that the probability setting value is not within the normal range (S4205: No) When it corresponds, it can be judged that there is an abnormality in the RAM 203, so the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned on (S4217), and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on to confirm the start-up operation of the person concerned It is judged whether or not (S4218). Also in the process of S4218, as in the process of S4207, the state of the RAM erase switch 122 is read by directly accessing the input / output port 205.

  If it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is on as a result of the process of S4218 (S4218: Yes), the process proceeds to the above-described process of S4212, and whether or not the setting key 501 is in the on state It judges (S4212). As a result, when the setting key 501 is in the on state (S 4212: Yes), it means that the person concerned with the hall, etc. has started up in the setting change mode. Then, in this case (S 4212: Yes), in order to start up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode in accordance with the start-up operation of the hall official or the like, the process proceeds to S 4213 to execute the above-mentioned setting change processing.

  Here, even if the RAM abnormality occurs, if the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the RAM can be cleared after setting the establishment setting value again. Therefore, the game can be newly started with the newly established normal established setting value. Note that the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned off by this RAM clear. Therefore, after that, the main control device 110 can control the game without executing the processing related to the RAM abnormality.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is off as a result of the process of S4218 (S4218: No), and if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is on as a result of the process of S4218, the process of S4212 is performed. If it is determined that the setting key 501 is in the off state as a result of the processing (S4218: Yes, S4212: No), among the RAM abnormalities, the person concerned with the hall, etc. is in the normal mode, RAM clear mode, setting confirmation mode. It means that the start-up operation was performed in one of the start-up modes.

  In this case, the process proceeds to the above-described processing of S4215, and it is always determined that the RAM is determined to be abnormal in the processing of S4215 (S4215: Yes), and the processing proceeds to the processing of S4219. In the process of S4219, a RAM abnormality setting process is performed (S4219). In the RAM abnormality setting process, a process for notifying of the RAM abnormality is executed. For example, an audio lamp is provided to notify that the power is turned off once and the pachinko machine 10 is activated in the setting change mode by audio output from the audio output device 226 and / or display on the third symbol display device 81. The command is transmitted to the control device 113.

  Then, the external output processing for notifying the hall computer 600 of the RAM abnormality via the external output terminal 503 is executed (S4220), and the other start-up processing is executed (S4221) to shift to the main processing. Do. Since the hall computer 600 is notified that the RAM is abnormal, a person concerned with a hall or the like can surely grasp that the RAM abnormality has occurred even if the notification from the pachinko machine 10 is not noticed.

  Here, although the details will be described later, when the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned on due to the occurrence of the RAM abnormality, in the timer interrupt process, the main control regarding the game is not executed except the random number updating process and the power failure monitoring process. I assume. That is, since the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 shifts to the main processing and thereafter the main control regarding the game is not executed even in the timer interrupt processing, it enters an infinite loop state. Then, after having the hall personnel etc. understand the RAM abnormality by the RAM abnormality setting processing of S4219 and the external output processing of S4220, the pachinko machine 10 is restarted in the setting change mode, and the probability setting value is surely made. By resetting and clearing the RAM 203 together with the RAM abnormality flag 203x15, the pachinko machine 10 can be operated normally.

  As described above, it is necessary for a person in charge of hall or the like to restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode in order to eliminate the RAM abnormality. Then, in order to start up in the setting change mode, a dedicated key corresponding to the setting key 501 is required. Therefore, the elimination of the RAM abnormality necessarily involves a hall (store manager) who manages the dedicated key. Therefore, the hole side can suppress that the RAM abnormality is eliminated without knowing that the RAM abnormality is present.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 64, the details of the setting change process (S4213) which is one process of the start-up process (FIG. 63) will be described. FIG. 64 is a flowchart showing the setting change process (S4213). The setting change process (S4213) is a process executed when the start-up mode is the setting change mode, and is a process for accepting and confirming the change of the probability setting value from the person in charge of the hall or the like.

  In this setting change process, first, a 4 millisecond timer interrupt is permitted (S4301). By permitting the 4 millisecond timer interrupt, a timer interrupt process (FIG. 66) described later is executed triggered by the generation of the 4 millisecond timer interrupt. Although details will be described later, when the power failure monitoring process is executed in the timer interrupt process and the power is turned off during the setting change process, the state at that time is held in the RAM 203 by the power failure monitoring process. As it is, it is configured to stand by in an infinite loop until the power is completely turned off.

  Next, the setting change in progress flag 203x13 is set to ON (S4302), and initialization required at the start of the setting change is performed (S4303). In the process of S4303, for example, an initial value is set to the RAM area used in the main setting change process. Note that clearing (off setting) of the RAM anomaly flag 203x15 accompanying execution of the setting change process at the time of RAM anomaly may be performed in the process of S4303, or may be performed in RAM clearing process (S4313) described later. Good. As described above, when the RAM is abnormal, the person concerned with holes is urged to restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode. When the pachinko machine 10 is restarted in the setting change mode, the probability setting value is reset and the RAM 203 is cleared, so that the pachinko machine 10 can be operated normally. Therefore, it is possible to indicate that the RAM abnormality has been eliminated by clearing (off setting) the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 along with the execution of the setting change processing.

  Next, the probability setting value data 203x11 indicating the probability setting value used so far is read and stored as the update probability setting value data 203x12 (S4303). The update of the probability setting value is performed not using the probability setting value data 203x11, but using the update probability setting value data 203x12. The update probability setting value data 203x12 is displayed on the base display device 401. The display mode at this time may be any of FIGS. 49 (a), (b), (c-1), (d-1), and (e-1).

  Next, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is set to ON (S4305). The ON setting to the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 may be executed in the process of S4303. Either during the time after the setting change process is executed until the process of S4309 (the process of determining whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on) is executed for the first time, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is turned on. It only needs to be set.

  Next, it is judged whether the probability setting value stored in the update probability setting value data 203x12 is within the normal range (“1” to “6”) (S4306), and it is not within the normal range, ie, abnormal. If it is the probability setting value (S4306: No), the update probability setting value data 203x12 is changed to the initial value (S4307), and the process proceeds to S4308. The initial value may be “1” which is the minimum value of the probability setting values (“1” to “6”), or “3” or “4” which is an intermediate value of the probability setting values. It may be “6” which is the maximum value of the probability setting value. As a result, even if the probability setting value data 203x11 is destroyed due to the RAM abnormality or the updating probability setting value data 203x12 is destroyed during the updating of the probability setting value, the update probability setting value data 203x12 By storing the probability setting values in the normal range as, it is possible to update the probability setting values in the normal range.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the probability setting value stored in the update probability setting value data 203x12 is within the range of “1” to “6” as a result of the process of S4306 (S4306: Yes), the process of S4307. And skip to the processing of S4308.

  In the process of S4308, it is determined whether the setting key 501 has been turned off (S4308). In the process of S4308, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the on state to the off state (edge detection), it is determined that the setting key 501 is in the off state.

  This is because, as described above, even if the pachinko machine 10 is started in the normal mode or the RAM clear mode, the setting key 501 is activated by the start-up operation in the off state when the power is turned off during the setting change processing. This is because the pachinko machine 10 is configured to execute the setting change process from scratch (from scratch). If it is determined in the process of S4308 that the level of the setting key 501 is in the off state and it is determined whether the setting key 501 is turned off, the pachinko machine is started by the start-up operation in the normal mode or the RAM clear mode. When 10 is started and execution of setting change processing is started as described above, since the setting key 501 is off from the beginning, an affirmative determination is made in the processing of S4308 immediately, and the probability setting value can not be updated. As described later, there arises a problem that the probability setting value is determined.

  On the other hand, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the on state to the off state (detection of an edge) in the process of S4308, the setting key 501 is turned off. By determining, it can be avoided that it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned off, unless the setting key 501 is turned on once and then turned off. Therefore, after the power is turned off during the setting change process, if the setting change process is executed by activating the pachinko machine 10 by the start operation in the normal mode or the RAM clear mode, the setting key 501 is temporarily turned on. Since the probability setting value can be determined for the first time by setting the state and then turning off, it is possible to avoid the problem that the probability setting value is determined without updating the probability setting value.

  If it is determined as a result of the process of S4308 that the setting key 501 is not in the off state (S4308: No), it is determined whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4309). In the process of S4309, when the state of the RAM erase switch 122 is changed from the off state to the on state, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on, and the probability setting value is updated.

  As described above, the RAM erase switch 122 is used to determine the startup mode when launching the pachinko machine 10, and updates the probability setting value when the pachinko machine 10 is launched in the setting change mode. It is also used when That is, every time the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on, the probability setting value is updated. Therefore, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on as a result of the process of S4309 (S4309: Yes), the update probability setting value data 203x12 is updated (S4310), and the process returns to the process of S4306. Specifically, in the process of S4010, the update probability setting value data 203x12 is added by 1 and updated, and when the update probability setting value data 203x12 is "6", the update probability setting value data 203x12 is "1". Update to

  On the other hand, if it is determined as a result of the process of S4309 that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on (S4309: No), the process of S4310 is skipped and the process returns to the process of S4306.

  As described above, in the process of S4309, when the state of the RAM erase switch 122 is changed from the off state to the on state, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. Specifically, refer to the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 indicating the previous state of the probability setting RAM erase switch 122 and the output of the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 read by the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 66) described later. When the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is off and the RAM erase switch 122 is on, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is on. Then, after the determination is made, in the process of S4309, the state of the RAM erase switch 122 at that time is stored in the RAM erase switch flag 203x16.

  Here, as described above, after the execution of the setting change process is started, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is temporarily set to “ON” before the process of S4309 is first performed by the process of S4305 and the like. This may be the start operation of the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode while the RAM erase switch 122 may still be turned on at the stage of executing the process of S4309 first, If the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is off, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is off and the RAM erase switch 122 is on, so the on operation of the RAM erase switch 122 for updating the probability setting value is performed. There is a possibility that the probability setting value may be updated by erroneously determining that there is a problem. As a result, the Hall personnel and others are distrusted by the fact that the probability setting value has been updated despite the fact that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on for updating the probability setting value.

  On the other hand, after execution of the setting change process is started, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is temporarily set to “on” before the process of S4309 is performed first, so that the pachinko machine is made at the time of this first determination. Even if the RAM erase switch 122 is still turned on as a start-up operation to start up 10 in the setting change mode, it is erroneously considered that the RAM erase switch 122 is operated to update the probability setting value. It can be determined that the probability setting value is updated.

  The loop processing of S4306 to S4310 continues to be executed until it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned on by the processing of S4308 (S4308: Yes). Then, if it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned on by the process of S4308 (S4308: Yes), the update probability setting value data 203x12 is saved as the final setting value data 203x11 (S4311). As a result, the probability setting value updated by the person in charge of the hall or the like is determined as the probability setting value to be used in the future game.

  Next, the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is inhibited (S4312), and the execution of the timer interrupt process is stopped. Then, the RAM clear process is executed (S4313), and the setting change process is ended.

  In the process of S4313, among the data stored in the RAM 203, the data used for controlling the game (predetermined data excluding the established set value data 203x11 stored in the internal work area 203x1) is erased (cleared), and While deleting the character ratio data 203s stored in the external work area 203y, the base value data 203r, the error data 203t (see FIG. 53) are held without deletion. A game can be newly started by deleting data (predetermined data except the established set value data 203x11 stored in the internal work area 203x1) used for controlling the game. Further, since the established set value data 203x11 is held, it is possible to play a game with the established established set value.

  Further, the setting change-in-progress flag 203x13 is set to off by the RAM clear processing. Therefore, if the power is not turned off while the setting change process is being performed, the setting changing flag 203x13 is set to OFF, while if the power is turned off while the setting changing process is being performed, the setting changing flag 203x13 is turned on. It will remain. Therefore, in the start-up process shown in FIG. 63, if the setting change-in-progress flag 203x13 is on, it can be determined that the setting change process is being executed when the power is turned off last time.

  Also, when the probability setting value is changed, the symbol ratio also changes, so if the symbol ratio data 203s based on the probability setting value before the change remains, the symbol based on the probability setting value after the change The ratio can not be calculated correctly. In the setting change RAM clearing process, by deleting the character ratio data 203s, it is possible to correctly calculate the character ratio based on the changed probability setting value.

  On the other hand, since the base value does not change even if the probability setting value is changed, in setting change RAM clear processing, in order to hold the base value data 203r and calculate the past base value and base value By keeping necessary information, it is possible to discover in the past the fraudulent acts conducted in the past without being concealed. Also, by holding the error data 203t in the setting change RAM clearing process, even if the unauthorized person who has caused the error starts the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, the error history is displayed. It can not be erased, and it is possible to suppress the concealment of fraudulent acts.

  When the setting change process is ended, the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is ended, and the display of the base value on the base display device 401 is started.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 65, the details of the setting confirmation process (S4210) which is one process of the start-up process (FIG. 63) will be described. FIG. 65 is a flowchart showing the setting confirmation process (S4215). The setting confirmation process (S4215) is a process that is executed when the startup mode is the setting confirmation mode, and is a process for causing the base display device 401 to display the currently set established setting value.

  In this setting confirmation process, first, as in the process of S4301 of the setting change process, a 4 millisecond timer interrupt is permitted (S4401). By permitting the 4 millisecond timer interrupt, a timer interrupt process (FIG. 66) described later is executed triggered by the generation of the 4 millisecond timer interrupt. Although details will be described later, when the power failure monitoring process is executed in the timer interrupt process and the power is turned off during the setting change process, the state at that time is held in the RAM 203 by the power failure monitoring process. As it is, it is configured to stand by in an infinite loop until the power is completely turned off.

  Next, the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is set to ON (S4402), for example, as shown in FIG. 49 (a), (b), (c-2), (d-2), or (e-2). In the display mode, when the display of the probability setting value indicated by the probability setting value data 203x11 is started on the base display device 401, it is determined whether the setting key 501 is turned off (S4403). In the process of S4403, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the on state to the off state (detection of an edge), it is determined that the setting key 501 is in the off state.

  This is because, as described above, even if the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the normal mode, in which the setting key 501 is turned on by the start-up operation in the off state, when the power is turned off during execution of the setting confirmation process. Is because it is configured to execute the setting confirmation process from scratch (from scratch). If it is determined in the process of S4403 that the level of the setting key 501 is in the off state and it is determined whether the setting key 501 is turned off, the pachinko machine 10 is started by the start-up operation in the normal mode. When execution of the setting confirmation process is started as described above, since the setting key 501 is off from the beginning, an affirmative determination is made in the process of S4403 immediately, and confirmation of the probability setting value ends in an instant The problem arises.

  On the other hand, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has transitioned from the on state to the off state (detection of an edge) in the process of S4403, the setting key 501 is turned off. By determining, it can be avoided that it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned off, unless the setting key 501 is turned on once and then turned off. Therefore, after the power is turned off during execution of the setting confirmation process, if the setting confirmation process is executed by starting up the pachinko machine 10 by the start-up operation in the normal mode, the setting key 501 is once turned on. Since the confirmation of the probability setting value can be ended for the first time by putting it in the OFF state, it is possible to avoid the problem that the confirmation of the probability setting value ends in an instant.

  As a result of the process of S4403, if the setting key 501 is not in the off state (S4403: No), S4403 is repeatedly executed, and the process waits until the setting key 501 is in the off state. During this time, the display of the probability setting value is continuously performed on the base display device 401. When the setting key 501 is turned off (S4403: Yes), the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is ended, and the display of the base value on the base display device 401 is started. The flag 203x14 is cleared off (S4404). Thus, if the power is not turned off during the setting confirmation process, the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is set to OFF, while if the power is turned off during the setting confirmation process, the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is It will remain on. Therefore, in the start-up process shown in FIG. 63, if the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is on, it can be determined that the setting confirmation process is being executed when the power is turned off last time.

  Then, the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is inhibited (S4405), the execution of the timer interrupt process is stopped, and the setting confirmation process is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 66, a timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment will be described. FIG. 66 is a flowchart showing the timer interrupt process. As described above, this timer interrupt process is a process that performs main control of the game, and is executed triggered by a 4 millisecond timer interrupt that occurs every 4 milliseconds.

  In this timer interrupt process, first, a process of updating random numbers used for a big hit lottery and a second game lottery is executed (S4501), and then a power failure monitoring process is executed (S4502). In the power failure monitoring process, it is monitored whether or not there is power failure occurrence information, and when there is power failure occurrence information, processing to execute processing related to power failure (processing corresponding to S701 and S704 to S707 in FIG. 17) To do).

  Next, with reference to the RAM abnormality flag 203x15, it is determined whether the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is on and the RAM abnormality is generated (S4503). As a result, when it is determined that the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is off and the RAM abnormality does not occur (S4503: No), the processing of S4504 to S4515 is executed as the normal game processing.

  That is, the test shooting test information setting processing for setting the test shooting test information is executed (S4504), and then the payout control unit 111, the audio lamp control unit 113, the solenoid 209, the base display control circuit 402 connected to the input / output port 205 Port output processing to output the output signal set in the previous timer interrupt processing to the first symbol display device 37, the second symbol display device 38, the second symbol hold lamp 84, the external output terminal 503, etc. Execute (S4505).

  Next, the states of various sensors, switches 208, etc. are read (S4506). The state of the RAM clear switch 122 is also read by the process of S4506. Then, subtraction processing of various timers used for control of the game is executed (S4507), and then processing of detecting cheating by impact or magnet based on an error signal from the payout control device 111 is executed ( S4508).

  Next, the launch control processing for controlling the launch of the ball by the sphere launch unit 112a is executed (S4509), and then the payout control device 111 is notified of the number of the balls dispensed by the payout control device 111. A payout command reception process to be received more is executed (S4510), and then a payout command transmission process is issued to instruct the payout control device 111 to pay out the ball (S4511).

  Next, execute special pattern / electric charge control processing related to the variable display of the first symbol (the third symbol, special symbol) and the jackpot (S4512), and then, move the second symbol (normal symbol) to the variable display or the common drawing The general power control process is executed (S4513). Then, display LED data setting processing of the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37, the second symbol surface device 38, the second symbol hold lamp 84, etc. is executed (S4514), and to the hall computer 600 via the external output terminal 503. An external signal setting process for setting an external signal to be output is executed (S4515), and the timer interruption process is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is on and the RAM abnormality has occurred as a result of the processing of S4503 (S4503: Yes), the processing of S4504 to S4515, which is a normal game processing, is skipped , And ends the timer interrupt processing as it is.

  As described above, when the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned on by detecting the occurrence of the RAM abnormality by the start-up processing of FIG. 63, in the timer interrupt processing, excluding the random number update processing and the power failure monitoring processing Control is not executed. As a result, the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 shifts to the main processing and thereafter enters the infinite loop state because the main control regarding the game is not executed even in the timer interrupt processing. Then, after having the hall personnel etc. understand the RAM abnormality by the RAM abnormality setting process of S4219 of startup processing or the external output process of S4220, the pachinko machine 10 is restarted in the setting change mode, and the probability setting is made. By resetting the value reliably and clearing the RAM 203 together with the RAM abnormality flag 203x15, it is possible to make the pachinko machine 10 operate normally.

  As described above, it is necessary for a person in charge of hall or the like to restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode in order to eliminate the RAM abnormality. Then, in order to start up in the setting change mode, a dedicated key corresponding to the setting key 501 is required. Therefore, the elimination of the RAM abnormality necessarily involves a hall (store manager) who manages the dedicated key. Therefore, the hole side can suppress that the RAM abnormality is eliminated without knowing that the RAM abnormality is present.

  On the other hand, in the timer interrupt process, even if the RAM abnormality occurs, the random number update process and the power failure monitoring process are executed. By executing the random number update process, it is possible to continue generating random numbers while the power is on. Further, by executing the power failure monitoring process, even when the RAM abnormality occurs, the occurrence of the power failure can be monitored, and when the power failure occurs, the process corresponding thereto can be reliably executed. In particular, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode in a situation where the RAM abnormality is detected, the setting change process is executed in the start-up process. If the power is turned off while this setting change process is being executed, the flag 203x13 is kept on while the setting change flag 203x13 is kept ON, so when the pachinko machine 10 is started next time, It is possible to redo the setting change process from the head regardless of what kind of start-up operation.

  As described above, the configuration described in the description of the eighth embodiment can obtain the above-described effects. Further, the same configuration as the configuration of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to seventh embodiments can achieve the same effect as the effect obtained by the configuration.

  As mentioned above, although the present invention was explained based on the above-mentioned embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned form at all, It is easy to be able to carry out various modification improvement in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of the present invention. It can be guessed. For example, each embodiment adds the part or plural parts of the configuration which the other embodiments have to each other, or by replacing it with the part or plural parts of the configuration of the embodiment. The embodiment may be modified. Moreover, the numerical value mentioned by the said embodiment is an example, and it is naturally possible to employ | adopt another numerical value.

  In the above embodiments, the case of calculating the character ratio and the continuous character ratio, recording, and outputting to the inspection device 300 has been described, but instead of the character ratio and the continuous character ratio, or Information indicating the gaming performance of the pachinko machine 10 in addition to the item ratio and the continuous character ratio, for example, the base value, the number of balls sucked into 100 balls thrown in (= 100-base value), the jackpot and The average number of outs or the like up to the point may be calculated, recorded, and output to the inspection apparatus 300.

  In each of the above embodiments, the first reading memory 263 is provided with a counter to count the number of balls won for each winning opening, but the counter provided in the first reading memory 263 for each winning opening The number of balls paid out by winning may be counted. And, in the first embodiment, when it is time to calculate the character ratio, the number of balls paid out by the prize for each winning opening counted by the first reading memory 263 is used to The object ratio and the continuous character ratio may be calculated and accumulated and recorded in the second reading memory 264. In the second embodiment, when it is time to calculate the character ratio, when it is time to calculate the character ratio, the winnings for each winning opening counted by the first reading memory 263 are obtained. The number of balls paid out may be accumulated and recorded in the second reading memory 264. In this case, when the number of balls winning in 0.5 seconds for each winning opening is stored in the buffer 262, the CPU 261 corresponds to the number of balls winning in each winning opening. The number of balls paid out by winning in the 0.5 seconds is calculated by multiplying the number of winning balls in the winning opening, and the calculated number of balls paid out is provided in the first reading memory 263. The number of balls paid out by winning may be counted for each winning opening by adding to the counter of the winning opening. In addition, when it is detected that there is a winning at one winning opening, the MPU 201 writes information indicating the winning opening at which the winning has occurred to the buffer 262, and in the CPU 261, the winning at the buffer 262 When the information indicating the mouth is written, the number of balls paid out by the winning of the winning opening is added to the counter of the corresponding winning opening obtained in the first reading memory 263, so that for each winning opening, The number of balls paid out by winning may be counted. Further, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls paid out by winning in the winning opening for every 0.5 seconds (or every predetermined time), and stores the number in the buffer 262. When the CPU 261 writes to the buffer 262, the number of balls paid out by the winning of the winning opening in 0.5 seconds is written in the buffer 262 for each winning opening, The number of balls paid out by winning may be counted for each winning opening by adding to the counter of the corresponding winning opening obtained in the reading memory 263. In addition, when it is detected that a prize has been won at one prize winning opening, the MPU 201 stores the number of balls paid out by the prize in an area corresponding to the prize opening in the buffer 262 where the prize was found. When the CPU 261 writes to the buffer 262, the counter 262 of the first reading memory 263 corresponding to the winning opening in which the number of balls paid out is stored is paid out to the buffer 262. The number of balls paid out by winning may be counted for each winning opening by adding the number of balls. As described above, even if the number of balls paid out for winning is counted for each winning opening by the counter provided in the first reading memory 263, the payout for each winning opening counted is paid out. Since the character ratio and the continuous character ratio can be calculated from the number of balls, it is possible to detect the fraudulent behavior by analyzing the calculated character ratio and the continuous character ratio. When the number of balls paid out by winning is stored in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201, the winning ball number table 202e may not be transmitted to the role ratio management chip 207, and the buffer 262 From the number of balls paid out by the winning of the winning opening stored in each of the winning opening, it is possible to calculate the bonus ratio and the continuous winning ratio. Further, the number of balls paid out by winning may be transmitted to the inspection device 300, which is counted for each winning opening, in order to calculate the character ratio and the continuous character ratio in the inspection device 300. . In this case, even if the contents of the winning ball number table 202e are not transmitted to the inspection device 300 with respect to the inspection device 300, the inspection device 300 can calculate the gate ratio and the continuous character ratio.

  In the first embodiment described above, the character ratio data 264a and the continuous character ratio data 264b are recorded in the second reading memory 264 and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. However, only the character ratio data 264a is recorded. The second reading memory 264 may be recorded and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300, or only the continuous character ratio data 264b may be recorded in the second reading memory 264 and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. You may The inspection apparatus 300 can analyze the fraudulent activity by analyzing the character ratio or the continuous character ratio transmitted from the character ratio management chip 207.

  Although the above embodiments have described the case where the first reading memory 263 is configured of a volatile memory, the first reading memory 263 is configured of a non-volatile memory (for example, a flash memory, FeRAM, MRAM, ReRAM, etc.) It may be done. Also, the backup voltage may be supplied from the power supply device 115 to the first reading memory 263 even while the power is off. In this case, the initialization of the first reading memory 263 may not be executed in the process of S711 (refer to FIG. 18) executed by the CPU 261 when power is supplied to the item ratio management chip 207. Thus, while the power is turned off, the counters 263a to 263f and the data 263g to 263j stored in the first reading memory 263 can be held. Therefore, when the power to the item ratio management chip 207 is turned off, the second reading memory 264 immediately before the power is turned off without executing the character ratio calculating process or the prize information storing process. The ratio of prizes etc. is calculated without leaking the winnings to each winning opening that was determined to be turned off from the timing (trigger) when the recording was performed, and the total number of winnings is the second reading It can be recorded to the memory 264. Therefore, in this case, the capacitor 267 may be unnecessary.

  In each of the above embodiments, when the inspection apparatus 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the case where the inspection result output process is executed to output the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 has been described. In addition, information stored in the first reading memory 263 may also be output. Since the information stored in the first reading memory 263 has not yet reached the timing (trigger) to be recorded in the second reading memory 264, the part ratio and the consecutive part ratio recorded in the second reading memory 264 The information may not be used for the calculation, or may not be recorded in the second reading memory 264. Therefore, by transmitting the information stored in the first reading memory 263 to the inspection apparatus 300, the inspection apparatus 300 can be analyzed using the latest information.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the symbol ratio and the continuous symbol ratio calculated by the symbol ratio management chip 207 are transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 as the information recorded in the second reading memory 264. However, by transmitting the information stored in the first reading memory 263 to the inspection device 300 as well, although it is information of a short period, the feature ratio and continuous feature such as the total number of balls winning in each winning opening Raw information before calculating the ratio can be grasped by the inspection apparatus 300. Therefore, analysis in the inspection apparatus 300 can be performed more deeply and accurately.

  Note that, as a modification of the first embodiment, as the information recorded in the second reading memory 264, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio calculated by the character ratio management chip 207 are transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. When the information stored in the first reading memory 263 is also transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300, the winning balls number table 202e may be further transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. Thereby, the inspection apparatus 300 calculates the latest feature ratio and the continuous product ratio from the total number of balls obtained for each winning opening transmitted from the first reading memory 263 using the winning ball number table 202e. Can be analyzed. In addition, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio calculated here were awarded to each winning opening in a short period before the timing indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b. Since it is calculated based on the total number of spheres, the calculated symbol ratio and continuous symbol ratio do not necessarily become accurate values, but can be used for analysis of the inspection device 300 as a reference value. .

  In addition, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the CPU 261 calculates the character ratio and the continuous character ratio based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263, and the calculated character The ratio and the continuous character ratio may be output to the inspection apparatus 300 together with the information recorded in the second reading memory 264. As a result, the inspection apparatus 300 can easily analyze fraudulent behavior using the character ratio and the continuous character ratio output from the character ratio management chip 207. In this case, the information stored in the first reading memory 263 may be output to the inspection apparatus 300 as well. This enables the inspection apparatus 300 to perform deep analysis using the information related to the latest winning combination. Also in this case, the winning balls number table 202e may be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. Thereby, the inspection apparatus 300 can perform a deeper analysis while referring to the number-of-balls table 202e.

  In the above embodiments, the accessory ratio management chip 207 is provided with the volatile first reading memory 263 and the non-volatile second reading memory 264, and the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b. The information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is temporarily stored in the first reading memory 263 while being accumulated until the indicated timing (trigger) is reached, and in the case where the timing is reached, the first reading memory Based on the information stored in H.263, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264, or are accumulated and stored in the first reading memory 263 before the timing. The case where various information is recorded in the second reading memory 264 has been described. On the other hand, in the item ratio management chip 207, a non-volatile memory provided with at least a first reading area that plays the role of the first reading memory 263 and a second reading area that plays the role of the second reading memory 264. And temporarily accumulates the information set for the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 until the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202 f set in the trigger setting area 265 b is reached. And at the time of the timing, based on the information temporarily stored in the first reading area, calculate the feature ratio and the continuous feature ratio and record it in the second reading area, or Various information accumulated and stored in the first reading area before the timing may be recorded in the second reading area. Thereby, since the number of parts of the memory can be reduced, an increase in cost of the item ratio management chip 207 can be suppressed.

  In each of the above embodiments, the MPU 201 counts, for each winning opening, the number of balls winning for each winning opening in 0.5 seconds, and counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharging path. The number of balls counted for each winning opening, the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path, and information on the gaming state at that time are stored in the buffer 262 of the prize ratio management chip 207 every 0.5 seconds. In addition to being set, each time the setting is performed in the buffer 262, the number of balls that have won for each winning opening set in the buffer 262, the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path, and the gaming state The case where information is accumulated and stored in the first reading memory 263 has been described. On the other hand, in the timer interruption process executed every two milliseconds in the MPU 201 based on the outputs of the various switches, the winning of the first starting port 64a was detected by the output of the first starting port switch 208a. In this case, the start 1 buffer 262a is turned on, and when the winning of the second start port 64b is detected by the output of the second start port switch 208b, the start 2 buffer 262b is turned on. When the winning of the first ordinary winning opening 63a is detected by the output, the first buffer 262c is turned on, and when the winning of the second ordinary winning opening 63b is detected by the output of the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d, The common buffer 2 262 d is turned on, and when the winning of the special winning opening 65 a is detected by the output of the special winning opening switch 208, the large winning opening buffer 262 e is turned on. When the ball guided to the ball discharge path is detected by the out switch 208f, the out buffer 262f is turned on, and the corresponding jackpot buffer 262g, the open buffer 262h, an error according to the gaming state at that time. After turning on the middle buffer 262i, an interrupt signal may be sent to the feature ratio management chip 207. Then, in the item ratio management chip 207, in the setting information reception process executed in response to the interrupt signal, when the start 1 buffer 262a is turned on, the start 1 counter 263a is counted up by 1 and the start 2 buffer 262b is started. If it is turned on, the start 2 counter 263b is incremented by one, and if the common buffer 26c is turned on, the common counter 263c is incremented by one, and if the common buffer 262d is turned on, the common counter 2 26b is turned on. The counter 263d is incremented by one, and when the large winning opening buffer 262e is turned on, the large winning opening counter 263e is incremented by one, and when the out buffer 262f is turned on, the out counter 263f is incremented by one. If the jackpot buffer 262g is on, the jackpot is The jackpot information is additionally stored in the data 263g along with the current time, and if the open buffer 262h is on, the open door information is added to the open data 263h along with the current time If the in-error buffer 262i is on, the in-error information is added to the in-error data 263i along with the time of that time and stored, and the time when the setting information reception process is executed is a midnight time zone In this case, the overtime information may be added to the overtime data 263 j along with the current time to be stored. Thus, the processing load of the MPU 201 is increased because it is not necessary to count the number of balls that have won in each winning opening in 0.5 seconds or the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path in the MPU 201. Can be suppressed. Therefore, much of the processing capability of the MPU 201 can be allocated to main control of the game to be originally performed by the MPU 201.

  Also, in this case, the first start opening switch 208a, the second start opening switch 208b, the first ordinary winning opening switch 208c, the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d, the special winning opening switch 208e, the out switch 208f, the role ratio management It may be input directly to the chip 207. Then, in the item ratio management chip 207, the first starting opening switch 208a, the second starting opening switch 208b, the first ordinary winning opening switch 208c, the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d, the special winning opening switch 208e, the out switch 208f Of each output, the first start opening 64a, the second start opening 64b, the first normal winning opening 63a, the second normal winning opening 63b, the presence or absence of winning to the special winning opening 65a, and the ball guided to the ball discharge path If there is a winning, the counter 263a to 264e of the first reading memory 263 corresponding to the starting opening having the winning is incremented by 1 and the ball guided to the ball discharge path is In this case, the out counter 263 f may be configured to count up by one. As a result, when there is a winning on the winning opening or when the ball is guided to the ball discharging path, the situation can be immediately reflected on the feature ratio management chip 207. Further, the door opening switch 208g is directly input to the item ratio management chip 207, and based on the output of the door release switch 208g, the presence or absence of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is determined by the item ratio management chip 207. If there is an opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, the door ratio is stored so as to be added to the open data 263h together with the time indicated by the RTC 266 at that time. The management chip 207 may be configured. Thus, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, the situation can be immediately reflected on the feature ratio management chip 207.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the number-of-balls winning to each winning opening before the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b in the item ratio management chip 207 is It counts by each counter 263a-264e of the reading memory 263, and counts the number of balls discharged to the ball discharge path by the timing (trigger) by the out counter 263f of the first reading memory 263. In the first reading memory 263, the first buffer 262a, the first buffer 262b, the first buffer 262c, the second buffer 262d, and the special winning opening buffer 262e are set by the MPU 201 every 0.5 seconds. , Each value of out buffer 262 d (ie, the number of balls for each winning opening won in 0.5 seconds, and 0.5 seconds) The number of balls which are guided to the ball discharge passage) in between, together with the time at that indicated by RTC266, may be stored sequentially. Then, when the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is reached, the symbol ratio and the continuous symbol ratio are calculated from the respective values stored in the first reading memory 263. It is calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264, or the total number of balls that have won in each winning opening before that timing is calculated for each winning, and it is discharged to the ball discharge path before that timing. The total number of balls may be calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264. Also by this, by transmitting the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 to the inspection device 300, it is judged whether there is a possibility that the illegal activity has been performed from the character ratio or the continuous character ratio in the inspection device 300. can do. And, in this case, when transmitting the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 to the inspection device 300, the information stored in the first reading memory 263, that is, each winning opening winning a prize for 0.5 seconds. The number of spheres per hour, and the number of spheres guided to the sphere drainage path in 0.5 seconds, and the time associated with the number of spheres (ie, the number of spheres is the first reading memory , And may be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. As a result, information such as how many balls are winning at which winning opening at which winning opening every extremely short time of 0.5 seconds, and how much sphere is at every time very short time of 0.5 seconds The inspection apparatus 300 can grasp detailed information such as whether the ball has been guided to the ball discharge path (that is, has been ejected to the game area). Therefore, analysis in the inspection apparatus 300 can be performed more deeply and accurately.

  Note that, as a modification of the first embodiment, as the information recorded in the second reading memory 264, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio calculated by the character ratio management chip 207 are transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. When the information stored in the first reading memory 263 is also transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300, the winning balls number table 202e may be further transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. Thus, the inspection device 300 calculates the total number of balls won for each winning opening from the number of balls winning to each winning opening for every 0.5 seconds transmitted from the first reading memory 263, It is possible to calculate and analyze the latest feature ratio and the continuous feature ratio using the winning number table 202e. In addition, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio calculated here were awarded to each winning opening in a short period before the timing indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b. Since it is calculated based on the total number of spheres, the calculated symbol ratio and continuous symbol ratio do not necessarily become accurate values, but can be used for analysis of the inspection device 300 as a reference value. .

  Also, in the first reading memory 263, the number of balls for each winning opening won for 0.5 seconds, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path for 0.5 seconds, When the time associated with the number of spheres (that is, the time when the number of spheres is stored in the first reading memory 263) is stored, it is indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b. The information stored in the first reading memory 263 may be recorded in the second reading memory 264 when the timing (trigger) is reached. Then, in the inspection apparatus 300, the number of balls for each winning opening winning in 0.5 seconds recorded in the second reading memory 264, and the ball discharging path in 0.5 seconds. It transmits the number of guided balls and the time associated with the number of balls, and transmits the number-of-balls table 202e set in the number-of-balls data setting area 265a to the inspection apparatus 300 together You may In this way, the inspection device 300 calculates the total number of balls won for each winning opening for every predetermined section from the number of balls winning for each winning opening every 0.5 seconds, and then the winning balls number table By calculating the character ratio and the continuous character ratio of each predetermined section using 202e, it is possible to analyze the possibility of fraud from the change of the character ratio and the continuous character ratio. In addition, when there is a change in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio suspected of fraudulent activity, the number of balls for each winning opening winning in 0.5 seconds in the inspection device 300, and 0. 0. Detailed information related to the game, such as the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path and the time associated with the number of balls in 5 seconds, has been input. It is possible to carefully investigate the causes of changes in the item ratio and the continuous character ratio.

  Also, without providing the first reading memory 263, the start buffer 262a, the start 2 buffer 262b, the start 1 buffer 262c, the end 2 buffer 262d, the special winning opening buffer 262e, and the out buffer which are set by the MPU 201 every 0.5 seconds. Each value of 262 d (i.e., the number of balls for each winning opening won in 0.5 seconds, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path in 0.5 seconds) is indicated by RTC 266. It may be directly recorded to the second reading memory 264 one after another according to the current time. In this case, the game state of the second reading memory 264, together with the time indicated by the RTC 266, is also the information on the gaming state set in the big hit buffer 262g, open buffer 262h, and error buffer 262i every 0.5 seconds. The data 264d may be recorded, and when the setting from the MPU 201 to the buffer 262 is performed in the late-night time zone, the time-out information is combined with the time indicated by the RTC 266 and the gaming state data 264d It may be recorded in As a result, since the first reading memory 263 can be made unnecessary, the cost increase of the item ratio management chip 207 can be suppressed.

  Further, in the timer interruption process executed every two milliseconds in the MPU 201 based on the outputs of the various switches, when the winning of the first starting port 64a is detected by the output of the first starting port switch 208a. When the first start buffer 262a is turned on, and when the winning of the second start port 64b is detected by the output of the second start port switch 208b, the start 2 buffer 262b is turned on, and the output of the first ordinary winning port switch 208c When the winning of the first normal winning opening 63a is detected, the normal 1 buffer 262c is turned on, and when the winning of the second normal winning opening 63b is detected by the output of the second normal winning opening switch 208d, the normal 2 is closed. The buffer 262 d is turned on, and when the winning of the large winning opening 65 a is detected by the output of the large winning opening switch 208, the large winning opening buffer 262 e is turned on and When the ball guided to the ball discharge path is detected by the switch 208f, when the out buffer 262f is turned on, the first reading memory 263 is set by the MPU 201 every two milliseconds.

Then, when the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202 f set in the trigger setting area 265 b comes, based on each value stored in the first reading memory 263, the bonus ratio and the continuous bonus product The ratio is calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264, or the total number of balls that have won in each winning opening before that timing is calculated for each winning and discharged to the ball discharge path before that timing. The total number of the played spheres may be calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264. Also by this, by transmitting the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 to the inspection device 300, it is judged whether there is a possibility that the illegal activity has been performed from the character ratio or the continuous character ratio in the inspection device 300. can do. Then, in this case, when transmitting the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 to the inspection device 300, the information stored in the first reading memory 263, ie, presence or absence of winning for 2 milliseconds in each winning opening The information indicating the information and the information indicating the presence or absence of the sphere guided to the ball discharge path for 2 milliseconds, and the time associated with the information (that is, when the information is stored in the first reading memory 263) It may be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 together with the time). As a result, information such as which winning opening to which winning opening at a very short time interval of 2 milliseconds, and at which time it was guided to the ball discharge path at a very short time interval of 2 milliseconds (ie, the game Detailed information such as whether or not it has been launched to the area can be grasped by the inspection apparatus 300. Therefore, analysis in the inspection apparatus 300 can be performed more deeply and accurately.

  Further, in the timer interruption process executed every two milliseconds in the MPU 201 based on the outputs of the various switches, when the winning of the first starting port 64a is detected by the output of the first starting port switch 208a. When the first start buffer 262a is turned on, and when the winning of the second start port 64b is detected by the output of the second start port switch 208b, the start 2 buffer 262b is turned on, and the output of the first ordinary winning port switch 208c When the winning of the first normal winning opening 63a is detected, the normal 1 buffer 262c is turned on, and when the winning of the second normal winning opening 63b is detected by the output of the second normal winning opening switch 208d, the normal 2 is closed. The buffer 262 d is turned on, and when the winning of the large winning opening 65 a is detected by the output of the large winning opening switch 208, the large winning opening buffer 262 e is turned on and When the ball guided to the ball discharge path is detected by the switch 208f, the first reading memory 263 is configured to turn on the out buffer 262f. When there is a buffer turned on among -262e, there is information indicating the winning opening where the winning was made, and when the out buffer 262f is turned on, there is a ball guided to the ball discharge path. Information indicating that may be sequentially stored as the current time indicated by the RTC 266. Then, when the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202 f set in the trigger setting area 265 b comes, based on each information stored in the first reading memory 263, the bonus ratio and the continuous bonus product The ratio is calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264, or the total number of balls that have won in each winning opening before that timing is calculated for each winning and discharged to the ball discharge path before that timing. The total number of the played spheres may be calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264. Also by this, by transmitting the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 to the inspection device 300, it is judged whether there is a possibility that the illegal activity has been performed from the character ratio or the continuous character ratio in the inspection device 300. can do. Then, in this case, when transmitting the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 to the inspection device 300, the information stored in the first reading memory 263, ie, presence or absence of winning for 2 milliseconds in each winning opening The information indicating the information and the information indicating the presence or absence of the sphere guided to the ball discharge path for 2 milliseconds, and the time associated with the information (that is, when the information is stored in the first reading memory 263) It may be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 together with the time). In this way, the inspection apparatus 300 can grasp information such as which prize opening to which prize has been won, and detailed information such as when the ball was guided to the ball discharging path (that is, what was ejected to the game area). It will be. Therefore, analysis in the inspection apparatus 300 can be performed more deeply and accurately.

  Note that, as a modification of the first embodiment, as the information recorded in the second reading memory 264, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio calculated by the character ratio management chip 207 are transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. When the information stored in the first reading memory 263 is also transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300, the winning balls number table 202e may be further transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. Thus, the inspection apparatus 300 calculates the total number of winning balls for each winning opening from the information indicating the presence or absence of the balls winning to each winning opening every 2 milliseconds transmitted from the first reading memory 263. Then, using the winning balls number table 202e, it is possible to calculate and analyze the latest feature ratio and the continuous feature ratio. In addition, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio calculated here were awarded to each winning opening in a short period before the timing indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b. Since it is calculated based on the total number of spheres, the calculated symbol ratio and continuous symbol ratio do not necessarily become accurate values, but can be used for analysis of the inspection device 300 as a reference value. .

  Further, the first reading memory 263 corresponds to information indicating presence or absence of winning for 2 milliseconds in each winning opening, information indicating presence or absence of a ball guided to the ball discharging path for 2 milliseconds, and the information thereof. When storing the added time (that is, the time when the information is stored in the first reading memory 263), the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b When it does, the information stored in the first reading memory 263 may be recorded in the second reading memory 264.

And the time associated with the information may be transmitted, and the prize ball number table 202e set in the prize ball number data setting area 265a may be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. As a result, in the inspection apparatus 300, the total number of balls for each winning opening is calculated for each predetermined section from the information indicating the presence or absence of the balls winning to each winning opening every 2 milliseconds. By calculating the character ratio and the continuous character ratio of each predetermined section using the number table 202e, it is possible to analyze the possibility of fraud from the change of the character ratio and the continuous character ratio. In addition, when there is a change in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio suspected of fraudulent activity, the inspection device 300 displays information indicating the presence or absence of winning for 2 milliseconds in each winning opening, and ball for 2 milliseconds.

Thus, the inspection device 300 calculates the total number of balls for each winning opening from the information indicating the winning opening that has won, and then uses the winning balls number table 202e to calculate the total number of balls for each winning opening. By calculating the feature ratio and the continuous symbol ratio of the predetermined section, it is possible to analyze the possibility of fraud from the change of the feature ratio and the continuous symbol ratio. In addition, when there is a change in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio suspected to be fraudulent, the inspection device 300 has information indicating a winning opening with a winning and a ball guided to a ball discharge path. Since detailed information relating to the game, such as information indicating that the game has been made and the time associated with the information, has been input, the cause of the change in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio based on this information You can explore carefully.

In addition, after connecting the inspection device 300 to the inspection terminal 207a, the power of the pachinko machine 10 is set to be turned on, and the prize ball number table 202e is transmitted to the inspection device 300 in the start-up process executed by the MPU 201. You may do it. As a result, the item ratio management chip 207 can dispense with the winning balls number data setting area 265a, and the number of registers can be reduced.

  Further, in the main control device 110, the winning balls number table 202e may not be transmitted to the inspection device 300, and the setting of the winning balls number for the inspection device 300 may be performed manually. As a result, the main control device 110 does not have to perform control to transmit the winning balls number table 202e, and therefore, complication of the program of the MPU 201 and the program of the accessory ratio management chip 207 can be suppressed.

  In the first embodiment, the case of not transmitting the winning balls number table 202e to the inspection device 300 has been described, but even in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the winning balls number table 202e is transmitted to the inspection devices 300 as well. Good. As a result, the inspection apparatus 300 can analyze the presence or absence of the possibility of fraudulent acts due to changes in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio, while also referring to the winning number table 202e.

(2) Information can be easily transmitted from the reading memory 264 to the inspection apparatus 300.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, when it is detected that the power is turned off, the information on the feature ratio etc. is recorded in the second reading memory 264 based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263. explained. On the other hand, by configuring the first reading memory 263 as a non-volatile memory or supplying a backup voltage to the first reading memory 263 or the like, the first reading memory 263 is stored even while the power is off. It is possible to configure, and when the power is supplied, information on the feature ratio etc. may be recorded in the second reading memory 264 based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263. Also in this case, it is possible to calculate the character ratio and the continuous character ratio without leaking with respect to the number of prize balls which are recorded in the second reading memory 264 and thereafter paid out before the power is turned off. . In addition, since the recording to the second reading memory 264 is performed when the power is turned on, it is possible to suppress the possibility that the power is completely cut off during the recording to the second reading memory 264.

  In each of the above embodiments, when it is detected that the power is turned off, the information related to the role ratio etc. is automatically generated based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263 under the control of the CPU 261. The case of recording to the reading memory 264 has been described. On the other hand, in the trigger information data 202 f, “power off” or “power off” as timing (trigger) to record information on the symbol ratio etc. in the second reading memory 264 based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263. It may be possible to define "power supply". Then, when the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is "power off", when it is detected that the power is turned off, based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263. , Information about the feature ratio etc. in the second reading memory 264, and the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is "power supply", the first reading when power is supplied Based on the information stored in the memory 263, information relating to the character ratio may be recorded in the second reading memory 264. As a result, according to the setting of the trigger information data 202f in the MPU 201, the recording of the information on the role ratio etc. based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263 is turned off in the second reading memory 264. Or when the power is supplied. If "power supply" can be defined as the trigger information data 202f, the first reading memory 263 may be configured as a non-volatile memory, or the backup voltage may be supplied to the first reading memory 263 to perform the first operation. The reading memory 263 may be configured to be storable even while the power is off.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, “the number of firings is set as the timing (trigger) at which the information on the symbol ratio etc. is recorded in the second reading memory 264 based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263 in the trigger information data 202 f. The case has been described where information indicating one of “time” and “game time” is defined. On the other hand, the "power supply time" may be defined in the trigger information data 202f. When information indicating “power supply time” is defined in the trigger information data 202 f, information indicating “predetermined time” at which information on the symbol ratio etc. is to be recorded in the second reading memory 264 is also defined. May be For example, when the trigger information data 202 f defines information indicating “power supply time” and information indicating “four hours as“ predetermined time ”, the item ratio management chip 207 stores the trigger setting area 265 b in the trigger setting area 265 b. When the trigger information data 202 f is set, the time indicated by the RTC 266 is acquired, and the acquired time is stored in the memory as “power supply time measurement start time”, and thereafter, the time indicated by the RTC 266 and It is judged whether four hours have passed since the power was supplied from the difference with the "power supply time measurement start time", and stored in the first reading memory 263 in the prize ratio management chip 207 when four hours have passed. Based on the obtained information, information on the feature ratio etc. may be recorded in the second reading memory 264. Then, the time when the recording is performed is acquired from the RTC 266, and the time is stored in the memory as a new “power supply time measurement start time”, and then the time indicated by the RTC 266 and “power supply time measurement” From the difference between the start time and the start time, it may be determined whether four hours have passed. By defining the trigger (timing) for calculating the prize ratio by the power supply time, even in a situation where little game is played in the pachinko machine 10, it is ensured that the power supply time has passed and the predetermined time has elapsed. The item ratio and the continuous character ratio can be calculated. Therefore, it is possible to make the inspection device 300 analyze the presence or absence of the fraudulent action surely by the combination ratio of the combination and the combination ratio of the combination regularly calculated.

  In the second embodiment, the information recorded in the winning counter data 264e of the second reading memory 264 indicating the total number of balls winning in each winning opening for each timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f. Has been described together with the winning balls number table 202e to the inspection device 300. On the other hand, when information indicating the total number of balls won in each winning opening for each timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f is transmitted to the inspection device 300, based on the information for each timing. The character ratio and the continuous character ratio at each timing may be calculated, and information indicating the calculated character ratio and the continuous character ratio may be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 together. Alternatively, instead of the information indicating the total number of balls won in each winning opening stored in the second reading memory 264 when transmitting to the inspection device 300, the bonus ratio and the continuous role based on the information The item ratio may be calculated, and the calculated symbol ratio and the continuous symbol ratio may be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. As a result, in the inspection device 300, it is not necessary to calculate the character ratio and the continuous character ratio, and analysis by the inspection device 300 can be facilitated. In addition, when calculating the combination ratio and the continuous combination ratio in the inspection device 300, the combination ratio and the continuous combination ratio may be calculated based on the prize ball number table incorrectly or incorrectly set. However, if the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated in the character ratio management chip 207, the number of winning balls in the winning ball number data setting area 265a set by the start-up process executed by the MPU 201 when the power is turned on. By using the table 202e, there is no possibility that the winning balls number table 202e is tampered with illegally, and the feature ratio and the continuous feature ratio can be accurately calculated.

  In addition, the second reading memory 264 is not limited to the second embodiment, and information indicating the character ratio or the continuous character ratio is not stored, and the information necessary to calculate at least one of them is [2] When stored in the reading memory 264, when transmitting to the inspection device 300, the CPU 261 calculates the bonus ratio and the continuous ratio from the information stored in the second reading memory 264. The calculated character ratio and continuous character ratio may be output to the inspection apparatus 300 in combination with the information stored in the second reading memory 264 or in place of the information. As a result, in the inspection device 300, it is not necessary to calculate the character ratio and the continuous character ratio, and analysis by the inspection device 300 can be facilitated. In addition, when calculating the combination ratio and the continuous combination ratio in the inspection device 300, the combination ratio and the continuous combination ratio may be calculated based on the prize ball number table incorrectly or incorrectly set. However, if the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated in the character ratio management chip 207, the number of winning balls in the winning ball number data setting area 265a set by the start-up process executed by the MPU 201 when the power is turned on. By using the table 202e, there is no possibility that the winning balls number table 202e is tampered with illegally, and the feature ratio and the continuous feature ratio can be accurately calculated. In addition, if the calculated bonus product ratio and the continuous product ratio are output to the inspection device 300 in combination with the information stored in the second reading memory 264, in the inspection device 300, the bonus product ratio and the continuous product ratio When it is determined that there is a suspicious point, the cause can be searched based on the information stored in the second reading memory 264. Further, in the inspection apparatus 300, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated from the information stored in the second reading memory 264, and the character ratio and the continuous character ratio output from the character ratio management chip 207 By determining whether or not they match, it is possible to determine whether any cheating has occurred.

By confirming the information related to the item ratio or the information indicating the gaming performance, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not there is any wrongdoing before today's business or today's business. The display of the character ratio to the display device by the operation of the button, the continuous character ratio, the information related to the character ratio or the continuous character ratio, or the information indicating the gaming performance is ended based on the lapse of a predetermined period. Or may end when the button is operated again. In addition, only when the button is being operated continuously, the character ratio, the continuous character ratio, the information related to the character ratio, the continuous character ratio, or the information indicating the game performance is displayed. It is also good.

  In addition, the pachinko machine is operated when the button is operated, and the display device displays information relating to a character ratio, a continuous character ratio, a character ratio or a continuous character ratio, or information indicating game performance. The ten game modes may be set to the check mode, and the main control of the game in the main controller 110 may be temporarily stopped. As a result, with the progress of the game, the character ratio displayed on the display device, the continuous character ratio, the information related to the character ratio or the continuous character ratio, or the information indicating the gaming performance changes. It is possible to suppress that it is difficult to confirm the feature ratio and the like. In this case, the main control device 110 sets the game mode of the pachinko machine 10 to the check mode to temporarily stop the main control of the game, the voice lamp control device 113 (and the display control device 114), A command to notify transition to the check mode may be transmitted. Then, when the voice lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114 receive a command for notifying transition to the check mode, for example, a predetermined image (for example, a black screen corresponding to the check mode in the third symbol display device 81) Or displaying the fluctuation effect under execution at a high speed during the check mode, the sound output from the audio output device 226 is also a predetermined sound corresponding to the check mode, or a sound corresponding to the high speed fluctuation. It may be controlled to output the Thus, it is possible to indicate to the player that the pachinko machine 10 is in the check mode. Further, the main control device 110 cancels the check mode as the gaming mode of the pachinko machine 10 and resumes the main control of the game, the check mode is set to the voice lamp control device 113 (and the display control device 114). A command may be sent to notify that it is released. Thereby, in the sound lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114, the image displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and the sound output from the sound output device 226 are returned to those before the transition to the check mode. Can.

  Further, in the variations described so far, when the button operation is performed, the display apparatus provided on the substrate such as the main control unit 110, etc., the character ratio, the continuous character ratio, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio. Although the case where related information or information indicating game performance is displayed has been described, in addition to or in place of this, when a button operation is performed, the first symbol display device 37 or the third symbol display device 81, the lamp display device 227 or the like may display information relating to a character ratio, a continuous character ratio, a character ratio or a continuous character ratio, or information indicating game performance, or voice output The device 226 may output a notification sound indicating a character ratio, a continuous character ratio, or game performance. Also in this case, the above-described modification may be applied as appropriate in connection with the button operation.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where information related to the item ratio is transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 when the inspection apparatus 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a has been described, but instead, it has been described above When the button operation is performed, information related to the item ratio may be transmitted to the inspection device 300. Also in this case, the modification described above may be applied as appropriate in relation to the button operation.

  In the above embodiments, the information managed by the item ratio management chip 207 is transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. However, based on the information managed by the item ratio management chip 207, the main control device Display various information such as character ratio and continuous character ratio on a display device provided on a substrate such as 110, or for the first symbol display device 37, the third symbol display device 81, the lamp display device 227, etc. By displaying information relating to the item ratio and the continuous character ratio or information indicating the gaming performance, or by outputting from the voice output device 226 any notification sound concerning the character ratio, the continuous character ratio, and the gaming performance, When configured to perform some kind of notification, transmission to the inspection apparatus 300 may not necessarily be performed.

  In each of the above embodiments, when the large capacity capacitor 267 or secondary battery is connected to the item ratio management chip 207 and the power supply to the main control device 110 is stopped due to a power failure or the like, the item ratio management chip 207. In the above, the case where the process associated with the power-off is performed using the power stored in the capacitor 267 has been described. On the other hand, instead of the capacitor 267 or the secondary battery, the backup voltage may be supplied from the power supply device 115 to the feature ratio management chip 207. Thus, the information stored in the first reading memory 263 can be held even while the power is turned off. In addition, when the fraudster tries to set the illegal information in the buffer 262 in the late-night time zone, the overtime information is stored in the overtime data 263j of the first reading memory 263, and then the second reading is performed at a predetermined timing. The overtime information can be recorded in the gaming state data 264 d of the memory 264.

  In the above embodiment, when it is determined by the process of S 724 (see FIG. 19) whether transmission of the interrupt signal after setting of the buffer 262 has been performed by the MPU 201 in the late-night time zone, the time indicated by the RTC 266 is The MPU 201 may set an image described in the case of determining whether or not it is from midnight to 6 o'clock in the early morning, and a threshold of time used for determination of this midnight time zone. For example, the ROM 202 of the MPU 201 stores the midnight time zone determination time data defining the threshold value of the time, and in the startup process executed by the MPU 201 when the power is supplied, the number-of-balls table 202e The midnight time zone determination time data stored in the ROM 202 may be set in the midnight time zone determination time setting area provided in the setting register 265 together with the trigger information data 202 f. Then, in the process of S 724, it may be determined whether transmission of the interrupt signal after setting of the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is performed in the time zone indicated by the midnight time zone determination time data. Thus, the determination of the midnight time zone can be variably set by the ROM 202.

  In each of the above embodiments, when the item ratio management chip 207 is powered on, the power on information is stored in the first reading memory 263 together with the time indicated by the RTC 266 at that time. At the timing, the power on information may be recorded in the game state data 264 d of the second reading memory 264 together with the time. Further, when power is supplied to the item ratio management chip 207, the power-on information may be recorded directly in the game state data 264d, together with the time indicated by the RTC 266 at that time. Thereby, information on the time when the power is turned on is also transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. Therefore, when there is a possibility of fraud due to changes in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio, it is also possible to investigate the cause multilaterally along with the time when the power is turned on.

  In each of the above embodiments, when the power to the accessory ratio management chip 207 is turned off, the power-off information is stored in the first reading memory 263 together with the time indicated by the RTC 266 at that time. The power-off information may be recorded in the game state data 264 d of the second reading memory 264 at a predetermined timing along with the time. In this case, the first reading memory 263 may be a non-volatile memory or may be supplied with a backup voltage. In addition, when the power to the item ratio management chip 207 is turned off, the power-off information may be recorded directly in the game state data 264 d in combination with the time indicated by the RTC 266 at that time. In this case, the first reading memory 263 is not necessarily configured by a non-volatile memory or supplied with a backup voltage. Thereby, information on the time when the power is turned off is also transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300. Therefore, when there is a possibility of fraud due to changes in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio, it is also possible to investigate the cause multilaterally along with the time when the power is turned off.

  In the above embodiment, when the processing of S704 to S707 is executed in the main processing (see FIG. 17) of the MPU 201 after the power supplied to the main control device 110 is cut off, after the processing of S704, S705. Before the process of (1) is performed, the same process as the process of S155 and S156 illustrated in FIG. 11 may be performed. That is, in the process at the time of power-off, after the occurrence of the interrupt process is prohibited (S704), the values of the first counter 203d, the second counter 203e, the first counter 203f, the second counter 203g, and the special winning opening counter 203h of the RAM 203 Is the winning information, the value of the out counter 203i is the out information, and it is set in the feature ratio management chip 207 together with the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 at that time, and an interrupt signal is sent to the feature ratio management chip 207 You may As a result, the number of balls awarded to each winning opening immediately before the power is turned off and the balls guided to the ball discharge path, which are not counted in the feature ratio management chip 207, are turned off. It can be counted by the item ratio management chip 207 before the game. Therefore, it is possible to record the number of balls that have won a prize at each winning opening immediately before the power is turned off and the balls guided to the ball discharge path with the feature ratio management chip 207 without leakage.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, when the trigger (timing) for calculating the item ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f is "gaming time", the ball guided to the ball discharge path by the out switch 208f is detected. Although the case of calculating the game time by counting the time played has been described, this is not necessarily the case. For example, an out port switch for detecting a ball that has passed through the out port 66 is provided, and the out port switch, the first start port switch 208a, the second start port switch 208b, the first ordinary winning port switch 208c, and the second ordinary winning port When passage of a ball to each winning opening or out is detected by any of the switch 208d and the large winning opening switch 208e, the game time is calculated by counting the detected time. It is also good. In addition, based on the output of the touch sensor 51a provided on the operation handle 51, the game time may be calculated by accumulating the time when it is determined that the player is touching the operation handle 51. The game time may be calculated by accumulating the time during which the player 51 is rotated by the player, or the time during which the player touches the operation handle 51 and rotates the operation handle 51 is accumulated. You may calculate game time. Further, the ball control unit 112 may be driven by the discharge control device 112, and the game time may be calculated by accumulating the time during which the ball is being released. In addition, the game ball detection switch is provided on the return ball prevention member 68 provided at the tip portion of the inner rail 61, and the game ball detection switch counts the time during which the ball guided from the ball guide passage to the game area continues to be detected. By doing, you may calculate game time.

  In each of the above embodiments, the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol are preset by the main control unit 110 so that the jackpot probability etc. can not be changed by the hall personnel or the like. However, instead of this, the jackpot may be configured to be able to change the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol into a plurality of stages (e.g., six stages) by a person in charge of holes or the like. In this way, it is possible to give the player the fun of selecting a stand by making the jackpot probability and / or the hit probability of the second symbol different for each stand with respect to the same model of pachinko machine on the hall side. .

  The change of the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol may be performed, for example, as follows. First, the jackpot random number value in the corresponding level (stage) and the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol can be changed in each of a plurality of stages (hereinafter, described here as six stages (levels 1 to 6)) And / or the random number value of the second symbol is stored in advance in the ROM 202. The number of jackpot random number values determined for each level and / or the number of jackpot random number values for the second symbol determines the jackpot probability for the level and / or the jackpot probability for the second symbol.

  The main board provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 is provided with a keyhole for changing the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol. The keyhole may be normally covered by the back pack 92 of the back pack unit 94 or may be revealed by opening the back pack 92. In addition, the back pack 92 may be provided with an opening for a keyhole, and the keyhole may be exposed from the opening. The keyhole is configured to be pivotable between the two positions of the "probability setting off" side and the "probability setting on" side by a dedicated key, and when it is on the "probability setting off" side, the keyhole is On the other hand, the exclusive key can be removed and inserted. When the keyhole is set to the “probability setting on” position by the dedicated key, the pachinko machine 10 can change the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned off, the keyhole is turned from the “probability setting off” to the “probability setting on” position by a dedicated key and the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, The pachinko machine 10 may be configured to be activated in the probability setting mode in which the jackpot probability and / or the second symbol can be changed. As a result, it is possible to safely change the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol according to the activation of the pachinko machine 10 in the hall. If the keyhole is turned from "probability setting off" to "probability setting on" by a dedicated key while the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, the jackpot probability and / or the second symbol of It is possible not to change the hit probability. This makes it possible to prevent the fraudster from changing the jackpot probability and / or the hit probability of the second symbol fraudulently during business.

  In the pachinko machine 10, a pressing type probability setting button for changing the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol is provided on the main substrate. This probability setting button, like the keyhole, is usually covered by the back pack 92 of the back pack unit 94 and appears by opening the back pack 92. However, the back pack 92 may be provided with an opening for the probability setting button, and the probability setting button may be exposed from the opening. When the pachinko machine 10 enters the probability setting mode, the levels (steps) of the previous jackpot probability and / or the second symbol hit probability are displayed, for example, on a display provided on the main substrate. Then, when the probability setting button is pressed, the level of the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol is increased by one and displayed on the display device. Further, when the level before the probability setting button is pressed is “6”, when the probability setting button is pressed, the level “1” is displayed on the display device. In addition, when the pachinko machine 10 is in the probability setting mode, the level displayed on the display device is a predetermined level (in place of the level of the previous jackpot probability and / or the second symbol) For example, it may be level "1".

  The jackpot value of the level displayed on the display device or the second one when the RAM erase switch 122 is pressed when the display device displays the jackpot probability to be set and / or the level of the winning probability of the second symbol The hit value of the symbol is set, and the pachinko machine 10 is activated. Thereby, the pachinko machine 10 operates with the jackpot probability of the set level and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol. Also, when the jackpot probability to be set and / or the level of the jackpot probability of the second symbol is displayed, the display when the keyhole into which the dedicated key is inserted is turned to the “probability setting OFF” position The jackpot value of the level displayed on the device or the hit value of the second symbol may be set, and the pachinko machine 10 may be activated. Also by this, the pachinko machine 10 operates with the jackpot probability of the set level and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol.

  Here, when the pachinko machine 10 is provided with a display device for displaying information related to the character ratio, the continuous character ratio, or the character ratio or the continuous character ratio, the pachinko machine 10 sets the probability When activated in the mode, the level of the jackpot probability to be set and / or the hit probability of the second symbol may be displayed on the display device. Thereby, by suppressing an increase in the number of display devices mounted on the pachinko machine 10, the cost increase can be reduced. Further, by using the display device as one unit and suppressing an increase in the number of parts, the arrangement (layout) of each part can be easily performed.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 10, when it is configured to be able to change the jackpot probability and / or the hit probability of the second symbol, according to the change, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio naturally change. Therefore, whether the change in the character ratio or continuous character ratio managed in the character ratio management chip 207 is due to a change in the jackpot probability and / or the second symbol's probability of winning or is due to some fraud There is a risk of getting lost.

  Therefore, when the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol is changed, all the information stored in the second reading memory 264 or the information stored in the first reading memory 263 may be erased. . In this way, it is possible to eliminate the influence that the character ratio or the continuous character ratio has changed due to the change of the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol. Also, in this case, information indicating that the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol has been changed is recorded in the second reading memory 264, and the information is output to the connected inspection apparatus 300. May be Thereby, it is possible to grasp at the inspection stage that the information etc. recorded in the second reading memory 264 has been erased due to the jackpot probability and / or the hit probability of the second symbol being changed, and whether or not there was fraud It can be used as a reference for judgment. In this case, the date and time when the change is made may be stored together. Further, the information indicating that the jackpot probability and / or the second symbol hitting probability has been changed may include information indicating the level after the change or may include information of the level before the change. Based on these date and time and level, it can be determined more reliably whether there is an injustice or not.

  On the other hand, even when the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol are changed, all the information stored in the second reading memory 264 and the information stored in the first reading memory 263 are stored. You may Thereby, before the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol is changed, it is possible to analyze whether there is a fraud. Also, in this case, information indicating that the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol has been changed is recorded in the second reading memory 264, and the information is output to the connected inspection apparatus 300. May be Thereby, it is possible to easily judge whether or not the influence of the change in the character ratio or the continuous character ratio is due to the change in the jackpot probability and / or the hit probability of the second symbol. The information indicating that the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol has been changed may include the date and time when the change was made. Also, it may include information indicating the level after change, or may include information at the level before change. Based on these date and time and levels, it is possible to more reliably analyze the causes of changes in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio.

  In addition, even when the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol are changed, all the information stored in the second reading memory 264 and the information stored in the first reading memory 263 are stored. If the display device provided to display information related to the character ratio or continuous character ratio, or the character ratio or continuous character ratio, the jackpot probability and / or the hit of the second symbol Based on the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 and / or the first reading memory 263 after the probability is changed, the character ratio or the continuous character ratio, or the character ratio or the continuous character ratio Relevant information may be displayed. Therefore, with regard to the information related to the character ratio and the continuous character ratio or the character ratio and the continuous character ratio displayed on this display device, it is accompanied by the change of the jackpot probability and / or the second symbol's hit probability Thus, it is possible to eliminate the influence of changes in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio, and it is possible to easily find fraud after changing the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second pattern. Further, in this case, information indicating that the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol has been changed may be recorded in the second reading memory 264 together with the date and time when the change was made. Based on this information, after the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol is changed, the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 is easily determined, and based on that, the feature ratio and the continuous feature It is possible to display information related to the ratio, or the character ratio or the continuous character ratio.

  In addition, even when the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol are changed, all the information stored in the second reading memory 264 and the information stored in the first reading memory 263 are stored. In this case, the information may be recorded in the second reading memory 264 by dividing into the jackpot probability and / or the level (step) of the jackpot probability of the second symbol. As a result, for each level of the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio when the level is set are determined from the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 be able to. Therefore, analysis is performed by clearly switching the changes in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio accompanying the change of the jackpot probability and / or the second character's winning probability and the changes in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio accompanying the fraud. it can.

  When the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol is changed, only one or more pieces of information recorded immediately before in the second reading memory 264 may be stored, and the others may be erased. Further, the information stored in the first reading memory 263 may be kept saved. In addition, all the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 may be deleted, and only the information stored in the first reading memory 263 may be stored. Thereby, it is possible to eliminate as much as possible the influence of the character ratio and the continuous character ratio before the jackpot probability and / or the second symbol's probability of hitting the character or the continuous character ratio, while the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability Before the probability of hitting the second symbol is changed, it is possible to make it possible to analyze whether or not there is a possibility that fraud has been conducted. In this case, even if information indicating that the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol has been changed is recorded in the second reading memory 264 and the information is output to the connected inspection apparatus 300. Good. As a result, it is possible to easily judge whether or not the influence of a change in the character ratio or the continuous character ratio is due to a change in the jackpot probability and / or the second symbol's probability of being hit and recorded in the second reading memory 264 It can be grasped at the inspection stage that some of the information etc. has been erased by the jackpot probability and / or the hit probability of the second pattern being changed, and it can be used as a reference for judgment as to whether or not there was fraud. it can. The information indicating that the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol has been changed may be stored together with the date and time when the change was made. Also, it may include information indicating the level after change, or may include information at the level before change. Based on these date and time and levels, it is possible to more reliably analyze the causes of changes in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio.

  In the above embodiments, the information recorded in the first reading memory 263 and the second reading memory 264 can not be erased from the outside, thereby preventing the fraudster from erasing the evidence of the fraudulent act. . On the other hand, there is a second-hand market in the pachinko machine market, and it is often sold from one store to another and installed at other stores. In this case, even if a fraudulent act is performed at the first store and the character ratio changes, the information remains in the first reading memory 263 or the second reading memory 264. There was a possibility that the suspicion might have arisen that there was a wrongdoing in another store. Therefore, in preparation for such a case, when sold from one store to another store, the information stored in the first reading memory 263 or the second reading memory 264 is erased, or the information to be resold is stored. It may be made to be able to make it record on the 2nd reading memory 264. If the information recorded in the first reading memory 263 or the second reading memory 264 is deleted, it is suppressed that the record of the fraudulent activity performed in the previous one store is taken over in the next other store it can. In addition, if the information to be resold is recorded in the second reading memory 264, the information related to the item ratio in the first store and the information related to the item ratio in the next other store are clearly cut off The analysis can be performed, and it is also possible to discover the fraudulent activity performed in the previous store from the information related to the feature ratio in the previous store.

  The deletion of the information recorded in the first reading memory 263 or the second reading memory 264 or the recording of the resold information in the second reading memory 264 is limited to a part of the maker of the pachinko machine 10 or the like. It should be limited to This makes it possible to suppress the easy deletion or falsification of the record of fraud. Further, deletion of information recorded in the first reading memory 263 or the second reading memory 264 or recording of resold information in the second reading memory 264 may be performed by the following method. . For example, the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, and a dedicated command is input from the inspection device 300 to the feature ratio management chip 207, and the like is recorded in the first reading memory 263 and the second reading memory 264, etc. A program may be executed to delete the stored information or record the resold information in the second reading memory 264. By setting this command as a secret special command other than some of the members, it is possible to suppress that the fraudster can easily erase or falsify the record of the wrongdoing. In addition, the main board is provided with a hole such as a keyhole, and the information stored in the first reading memory 263 or the second reading memory 264 is erased or resold only when a key or the like that fits the hole is inserted. A program for recording the information to the second reading memory 264 may be executed. As a result, only those having a key or the like that fits the hole can erase the information recorded in the first reading memory 263 or the second reading memory 264, or delete the resold information into the second reading memory 264. Since the recording can be performed, it is possible to suppress that the fraudster can easily delete or falsify the record of the fraudulent activity. In addition, a switch is provided in the substrate box 100 in which the main substrate is stored, and deletion of information recorded in the first reading memory 263 or the second reading memory 264 or resale is performed only when the switch is operated. A program may be implemented to record the stored information into the second reading memory 264. Thus, the switch can not be operated unless the substrate box 100 is opened, and deletion of the information recorded in the first reading memory 263 or the second reading memory 264 or deletion of the resold information into the second reading memory 264 I can not record. As described above, in the substrate box 100, the box base and the box cover are unopenably connected (joined by caulking), and the connection portion between the box base and the box cover extends over the box base and the box cover. Seals are attached. Therefore, since the fraudster can not easily open the substrate box, it is possible to prevent the fraudster from easily erasing or faking the record of the fraudulent act. In addition, if the substrate box is opened and the switch is operated, it is possible to easily determine that the cheating has taken place since the opened evidence remains.

  In the third to seventh embodiments, as the process of using the non-use area 203 y in the RAM 203, the process relating to the character ratio and the base value has been exemplified, but the process is not necessarily limited thereto. It may be various processing except. For example, it may be processing of determining fraudulent activity. In this process of determining the injustice, for example, it is determined whether or not the magnet is approaching or vibrating, or an unnatural entering ball to the winning opening (a entering ball detected despite the state where the big winning opening 65a is closed). A process may be performed to notify when there is an illegal activity. Further, as the process of using the non-use area 203y, a plurality of processes with different functions (objectives) (for example, "process related to feature ratio" and "process for determining fraudulent activity") may be included.

  In the third to seventh embodiments, the load (LD) instruction is used to save the contents of the register 200 to the external work area 203y1 of the out-of-use area 203y using the load (LD) instruction. The same operation and effect can be obtained by using the store (ST) instruction instead and saving to the outside work area 203y1 of the out-of-use area 203y.

  In the fifth to seventh embodiments, in addition to the real-time base values, three base values (previous base value, last-previous base value, last-previous base value) counted in the past every predetermined period are displayed on the base display device Although the case of displaying in 401 has been described, at least two base values (for example, the last base value and the last second base value) counted for each predetermined period in the past may be displayed together with the real time base value. The four or more base values counted for each predetermined period in the past may be displayed together with the real time base value.

  In the fifth to seventh embodiments, the base values measured in a plurality of periods and the base values being measured in real time are displayed on the base display device 401, but instead of the base values, Alternatively, in addition to the base value, the symbol ratio, the continuous symbol ratio, the information related to the symbol ratio or the continuous symbol ratio, and / or the information indicating the other game performances are each measured in a plurality of periods. And those measured in real time may be displayed on the display device.

  In the fifth to seventh embodiments, the case where the MPU 201 executes the base value processing (FIG. 41) to display various base values on the base display device 401 has been described. A chip is provided, or a management chip for managing the base value is provided separately from the main controller 110, and the management chip executes processing equivalent to the base value processing to calculate the real time base value while the real time base value is calculated. It is also possible to display the last base value, the last second base value, and the last second base value on the base display device 401. In this case, the management chip may directly control the display of the base display device 401, or the management chip may control the display of the base display device 401 by the MPU 201 via the MPU 201. Also, the base display device 401 may be directly connected to the management chip.

  The various counters 203j, 203k, 203q, the base value data 2031 to 203o, and the flag 203p shown in FIG. 39A may be stored in the RAM in the management chip. In this case, when the power is turned on while the RAM all erase switch is turned on, the MPU 201 transmits a signal to that effect to the management chip in the start-up process, and the management chip receives the signal. The various counters 203j, 203k, and 203q, the base value data 2031 to 203o, the flag 203p, and the like may be initialized.

  In addition, when the power is turned on, the management chip may control the base display device 401 to turn on all the segments of the four 7-segment displays 401a to 401d. In this case, the control may be performed immediately after the management chip rises in response to power on, or when the power is turned on, the MPU 201 performs initialization signal to the management chip in the start-up process. , And the control chip may execute the control in the process executed by the management chip in response to the initialization signal.

  In the fifth to seventh embodiments, when the previous base value, the last-previous base value, and the second-previous base are displayed on the base display device 401, if there is no effective base value as the base value, the comparison segment is displayed. "-" Is displayed to indicate that there is no valid base value. On the other hand, when there is no effective base value as the previous base value, the last-previous base value, or the last-before-second base, only the real-time base value may be displayed on the base display device 401. This can indicate that there is no valid base value for the previous base value, the last-previous base value, and the last-previous base value. In addition, it is possible to suppress that the previous base value without the effective base value, the last second base value, and the last second base value continue to be displayed unnecessarily. On the other hand, in this case, the real time base value and the previous base value may be displayed on the base display device 401, and "-" may be displayed in the comparison segment for the previous base value. This can also indicate that there is no valid base value in the last base value, the last base time value, and the last base time value. Further, by displaying not only the real-time base value but also the last base value, it is possible to suggest that the last base value or the like is also displayed on the base display device 401 after the effective base value is obtained.

  Also, when there is a valid base value in the previous base value and there is no valid base value as the last two times base value, the only real time base value and the previous base value are displayed on the base display device 401 You may In addition, when there is a valid base value for the last base value and the last second base value and there is no valid base value as the last second base, only the real time base value, the last base value, and the last second base value are displayed on the base display device. It may be displayed on 401. This can indicate that there is no valid base value for base values that are not displayed. In addition, it is possible to suppress continuous display of useless ones that do not have a valid base value.

  On the other hand, if there is a valid base value in the previous base value and there is no valid base value in the last two times base value, the last real time base value, the last base value and the last second time base value It may be displayed in 401, and "-" may be displayed in the comparison segment as to the base value before the previous time. Also, if there is a valid base value for the last base value and the last base value and there is no valid base value for the last base, the real time base value, the last base value, and the last base value and the last base value The base value and the base value may be displayed on the base display device 401, and "-" may be displayed in the comparison segment as to the base value. This can also indicate a type of base value without a valid base value. Further, by displaying one base value of a type having no valid base value, it is possible to suggest that the base value of the type is displayed on the base display device 401 after the valid base value is obtained.

  In the fifth embodiment, every time the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 are set immediately after the power is switched on. Although the case where the period (in the present embodiment, 5 seconds) is turned on has been described, all the segments may be blinked for a predetermined period instead of being turned on. By blinking all the segments, not only can all segments be turned on normally, but also it can be checked whether all segments can be turned off normally, and whether or not the display on the base display device 401 is normally performed. It can be easily determined.

  In the case of newly launching the pachinko machine 10, for example, when completely launching the pachinko machine 10 in a manufacturing plant, or when moving to a different hole with the used pachinko machine 10 as a second-hand table After the power is turned on while the erase switch is operated, all segments (dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 are only for the total number of outs to reach 300 after the power is turned on. ) May be lighted or blinked for a predetermined period (five seconds in the present embodiment). Thereby, it is possible to confirm whether or not the display on the base display device 401 is normally performed at least when the pachinko machine 10 is newly launched. Further, while the lighting is performed, it can be suggested that the pachinko machine 10 is in a new start-up state.

  Further, when the power is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is operated, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 are maintained for a predetermined period (this embodiment). In this case, it may be lighted or blinked for 5 seconds.

  In the fifth embodiment, immediately after the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 have a predetermined period (this embodiment). In the above, the case where the control to turn on (or blink) for 5 seconds is performed at a predetermined point (S3007) of the start-up process (see FIG. 40) has been described, but the control of the turn-on (or blink) is the start-up process It may be performed at any place in For example, the execution of the start-up process may be started and the control may be performed first, or the control may be performed after the initial setting (S601). Alternatively, the control may be performed after the setting of the interrupt permission (S613). In addition, the control may be performed at a place other than the start-up process. For example, in the main process (see FIG. 17) executed after the start-up process ends, the control may be executed before the loop process (S701 to S703) is executed. Further, in the timer interrupt process, for example, in the base value process (see FIG. 41) which is one process of the timer interrupt process, the timer interrupt process or the base value process is executed for the first time after the power is turned on. It may be determined whether or not it has been executed, and the control may be executed if it is executed for the first time after the power is turned on. That is, after the power is turned on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 are turned on (or blink) for a predetermined period (5 seconds in this embodiment). If possible, this control may be performed at any timing.

  In the fifth embodiment, when the pachinko machine 10 is newly started up, for example, when the pachinko machine 10 completely starts up in a manufacturing plant or when used pachinko machine 10 is moved to a separate hall with a used table. Until the total number of outs reaches 300, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 are kept for a predetermined period (every time the power is turned on). In the embodiment, it is turned on for 5 seconds, and then the display of the base display device 401 is made to blink (or turn on) "88." in the identification segment, and the real-time base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l is In the case of displaying in a special display mode different from the usual base value display, in which the display is blinked (or lit), In this case, every time the power is turned on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 are lit for a predetermined period (5 seconds in this embodiment). It is good also as non-execution. In this case, since the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 in the special display mode during the new start-up period of the pachinko machine 10, it can be shown that the displayed base value is not the normal base value. In addition, by the display being performed, it can be suggested that the pachinko machine 10 is in a newly launched state.

  Further, in the fifth embodiment or the modification, as the special display mode displayed on the base display device 401 when the pachinko machine 10 is in the new start-up period, “88.” blinks (or lights up) in the identification segment While the mode of displaying the real-time base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l blinking (or lighting) on the ratio segment has been described, it is not necessary to be this mode, and the mode of displaying the normal base value The display of the base display device 401 may be performed in a different manner. For example, when the pachinko machine 10 is in a new start-up period, “bL.”, “B1.”, “B2.”, “B3.” Are switched and displayed at intervals of 5 seconds while blinking identification segments. The display of the base display device 401 may be performed in a mode in which "-" is displayed in the comparison segment. Thereby, while this display is being performed, it can be suggested that the pachinko machine 10 is in a newly launched state. Further, in this aspect, while “bL.” Is displayed in a blinking manner, the real-time base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l may be displayed in a blinking or blinking manner in the ratio segment. Thereby, the real time base value at that time can be indicated for reference.

  In the sixth to eighth embodiments, although the probability setting value can be changed in six stages of “1” to “6”, the jackpot probability and / or the collision probability of the second symbol can be changed, but the probability setting value The number of steps that can be changed is not limited to six, and may be changed to any number of steps.

  In the sixth to eighth embodiments described above, the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol are changed by changing the probability setting value, but when the pachinko machine 10 includes a so-called small jackpot Instead of or in addition to changing the jackpot probability and / or the jackpot probability of the second symbol, the jackpot probability may be changed. Here, the small hit is a kind of dislodging, when the ball enters the big winning opening 65a opened by the small hit and the ball is paid out, the number of the paid-out balls is also calculated the base value Used for That is, since the base value also changes when the winning probability for small wins is changed, if base value data 203r based on the pre-change probability setting value remains, the base value based on the post-change probability setting value Can not be calculated correctly. Therefore, in this case, the base value data 203r may also be erased among the data of the RAM 203 which is activated in the setting change mode and is performed when the probability setting value is changed. . Thus, the base value based on the changed probability setting value can be calculated correctly.

  In the sixth and seventh embodiments described above, the case is described where it is confirmed each time the timer interrupt processing is executed whether the probability setting value is within the normal range (range of “1” to “6”). However, this confirmation may be performed by the pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment. In addition, this confirmation is performed each time a predetermined trigger comes, such as every time when fluctuation effects are started, every predetermined time (for example, every hour, every time the clock provided in the internal becomes 00 minutes), etc. You may

  In the sixth and seventh embodiments, whether or not the probability setting value is within the normal range (range of “1” to “6”) in the timer interrupt processing is confirmed, and the probability setting value is within the normal range. In the case where it is not inside, the case where the game is stopped and the notification to urge the hall personnel etc. to restart the pachinko machine 10 and change the probability setting value has been described, but after the game is stopped The setting change process may be executed to force a person in charge of the hole or the like to change the probability setting value. In this case, a notification sound for prompting a change of the probability setting value may be output, or a notification may be given to the third symbol display device 81 to call a person concerned with a hall. Further, an external terminal (not shown) provided in main controller 110 may notify hall computer that the probability setting value is not within the normal range. As a result, the probability setting value can be reset within the normal range by a person in charge of holes and the like.

  In the sixth and seventh embodiments, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the normal mode or the setting confirmation mode, it is confirmed whether the RAM determination value is normal or not in the start-up process, and the RAM determination value is normal. If not, it is further confirmed whether the probability setting value is within the normal range, and if it is not within the normal range, the setting change processing is executed to cause the hall personnel etc. to change the probability setting value. The case was explained. Instead of executing this setting change process, in the voice output device 226 or the third symbol display device 81, a notification prompting the hall official or the like to restart the pachinko machine 10 and change the probability setting value And / or an external terminal (not shown) provided on main controller 110 to notify the hole computer that the probability setting value is not within the normal range to enter an infinite loop. You may As a result, it is possible to change the probability setting value by re-launching the pachinko machine 10 for a person concerned with holes or the like.

  In addition, when it is determined that the probability setting value is not within the normal range in the start-up process, probability setting of a specific probability setting value (for example, "1") from the range of "1" to "6" It may be forcibly set as a value. If it is determined that the probability setting value is not within the normal range during the game (for example, in the timer interrupt process), the probability setting value should not be forcibly set to a specific probability setting value. This is to prevent the player from incurring any disadvantage by suddenly changing the jackpot probability and / or the probability of hitting the second symbol during the game.

  In the sixth and seventh embodiments, the case where the probability setting value is included in the calculation of the RAM determination value (checksum) has been described, but the probability setting value may be removed from the calculation of the RAM determination value. In this case, before making a determination as to whether the RAM determination value is normal or not (S4009 in FIG. 54), it is determined whether the probability setting value is within the normal range, and if it is not within the normal range, Perform setting change processing to have the hall personnel etc. change the probability setting value, or urge the hall personnel etc. to restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, or it is normal as the probability setting value Specific probability setting values within the range may be forcedly set.

  Although the case where the probability setting value is not included in the calculation of the RAM determination value (checksum) has been described in the eighth embodiment, the probability setting value may be included from the calculation of the RAM determination value.

  In the fifth embodiment, every time the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 immediately after the power on are selected. Although the case where the lamp is lighted for a predetermined period (5 seconds in the present embodiment) has been described, also in the sixth to eighth embodiments, each time the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, the base display device 401 is provided immediately after the power on. All segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d may be lighted or blinked for a predetermined period. However, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 immediately after the power is turned on until the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode It may be troublesome to turn on or blink for a predetermined period of time. Therefore, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, lighting or blinking of all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d may not be performed. In addition, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, after the setting change processing or the setting commission confirmation processing is executed, lighting or blinking of all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d is performed. May be performed. In addition, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d are temporarily lighted or blinked for a predetermined period. When the operation is performed, the lighting or blinking may be ended.

  In the fifth to eighth embodiments, the identification display segment comprising the base display device 401 comprising two 7-segment displays 401a and 401b and the ratio segment comprising the two 7-segment displays 401c and 401d. Although the case has been described, the identification segment may be configured with one or more seven-segment displays, or the ratio segment may be configured with two or more seven-segment displays.

  In the sixth to eighth embodiments, using the round number notification LED, the LED for notifying the jackpot symbol, the LED for notifying the winning symbol, etc. prepared for the first symbol display device 37, or in the entire LED 37a, Although it has been described that the base display device 401 notifies that the setting change display or the setting confirmation display is being performed using the lighting pattern which is not used in the original notification, the first symbol display device Using the round number notification LED, the LED notifying the big hit symbol, the LED notifying the hit symbol, or the like prepared in 37, or using the lighting pattern which is not used in the notification of the entire LED 37a, The base display device 401 may notify that the error history is being displayed.

  Further, the first display device 37 is provided with one LED for notifying that setting display and setting confirmation display are being performed on the base display device 401, for example, by lighting the LED. Informing that the setting change display is being performed by the base display device 401 and making the LED blink so as to notify that the setting confirmation display is being performed by the base display device 401 It is also good. In addition, an LED for notifying that the setting change display is being performed by the base display device 401 is displayed on the first display device 37, and the setting confirmation display is being performed by the base display device 401. By providing a total of two LEDs with the LED for notifying and lighting the corresponding LEDs, it is notified that the display under setting change display or the setting confirmation display is being performed on the base display device 401. May be Further, the first display device 37 is provided with an LED for notifying that the error display is being performed by the base display device 401, and the LED is turned on to make the error history in the base display device 401. It may be notified that the display is being performed.

  In the sixth to eighth embodiments, when the probability setting value or the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, all the segments of the 7-segment display 401a, 401b of the identification segment are turned off, or the identification segment is displayed. Although the case where fixed characters are displayed on each of the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b in a display mode different from the case where the base display device 401 displays the base value has been described, the probability setting is described. When displaying the value or the error history on the base display device 401, the identification segment may be displayed in any display mode as long as the display mode is different from the case where the base display device 401 displays the base value. For example, a predetermined segment of each 7-segment display 401a, 401b may be displayed in a blinking manner, or each segment of each 7-segment display 401a, 401b may be sequentially displayed or randomly displayed in a blinking manner. In addition, in the identification segment, a plurality of display modes may be rotated and displayed. Also in this case, the display state can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the probability setting value or the error history is displayed.

  In the sixth to eighth embodiments, when displaying the probability setting value or the error history on the base display device 401, all segments of the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the comparison segment are turned off, or "-" is displayed. However, when displaying the probability setting value or the error history on the base display device 401, the base display device 401 is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the comparison segment. The display may be performed in any display mode as long as the display mode is different from the case where the base value is displayed on the display unit. For example, a predetermined segment of the 7-segment display 401c may be blinked and displayed, or each segment of the 7-segment display 401c may be lit and blinked sequentially or randomly. Moreover, in the 7-segment display 401c, a plurality of display modes may be rotated and displayed. Also in this case, the display state can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value or the error history is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the probability setting value is displayed.

  In the sixth to eighth embodiments, an example shown in FIG. 50 is exemplified as a display mode in the case of displaying the error history on the base display device 401, and a display mode in the case of displaying the probability setting value on the base display device 401. The display mode different from the display mode has been described. On the other hand, as a display mode when the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, a display mode similar to the display mode shown in FIG. 49 (a) or (b) may be used. In this case, the display mode in the case of displaying the probability setting value on the base display device 401 may be the same as the display mode in the case of displaying the error history on the base display device 401. The probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 when a person in charge of hall or the like starts the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode. The error history is displayed on the base display device 401 when a person in charge of a hall or the like presses the error display button 502. That is, even if the display mode in the case of displaying the probability setting value on the base display device 401 and the display mode in the case of displaying the error history on the base display device 401 are the same display mode, the person concerned with holes etc. It is possible to grasp whether the information displayed on the base display device 401 is a probability setting value or an error history based on the operation.

  In the sixth to eighth embodiments, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the probability setting value is updated by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 or turning on the setting change switch. Although the case has been described, this may be performed by the setting key 501. Specifically, the setting key 501 can be turned from the on state to the setting change position provided in the opposite direction to the off side, and automatically turned on when the setting key 501 is turned to the setting change position. The setting key 501 is biased to return. Then, every time the setting key 501 is turned from the on state to the setting change position, the probability setting value is updated. Also in this case, the probability setting value can be easily changed.

  In the sixth and eighth embodiments, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the probability setting value is updated by turning on the RAM erase switch 122, but the seventh embodiment The probability setting value may be updated by providing the same setting change switch as above and turning on the setting change switch. Thus, the roles of the RAM erase switch and the setting change switch can be clearly divided, so that the operator can clearly understand the role of each switch.

  In the sixth to eighth embodiments, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the probability setting value is set by turning off the setting key 501 or turning on the RAM erase switch 122. In the above, the case where the switch is determined is described, but it may be possible to operate this by operating a switch provided separately, for example, a setting determination switch. The setting confirmation switch is, for example, a switch for determining the probability setting value by being operated in the setting change mode, and similarly to the error display button 502, the main substrate is provided from the hole provided in the substrate box 100. It may be provided to be more protruded, and may be operated by a person in charge of a hole or the like without opening the substrate box 100. Also in this case, it is possible to easily determine the probability setting value.

  In the eighth embodiment, when a person in charge of hall or the like starts up in one of the normal mode, the RAM clear mode, and the setting confirmation mode in the RAM abnormality, the MPU 201 in the main control unit 110 operates. In the process of S4215 of the startup process to be executed, it is always determined that the RAM is determined to be abnormal (S4215: Yes), and the process proceeds to S4219, and notification by the RAM abnormality setting process and (S4219), A case where an infinite loop state occurs after the output to the hall computer 600 (S4220) is performed has been described. On the other hand, in this case, after the notification by the RAM abnormality setting process and the output to the hall computer 600 (S4220) are executed (S4219), the process may shift to the process of S4213 to execute the setting change process. As a result, the probability setting value is surely reset, and by clearing the RAM 203 together with the RAM abnormality flag 203x15, the pachinko machine 10 can operate normally. Further, in this case, since the setting change processing is automatically executed, it is not necessary to restart the pachinko machine 10 again, and it is possible to save the time and effort of the person concerned with the hall and the like.

  Among the data stored in the RAM 203 in the process of S4313 of the setting change process in the eighth embodiment, data used for controlling the game (predetermined data excluding the established setting value data 203x11 stored in the internal work area 203x1 While deleting the character ratio data 203s stored in the external work area 203y1, while deleting the base value data 203r, the error data 203t and the data (see FIG. 53). In the same manner as the processing of S 4216 of the start-up processing, the data used for controlling the game (the established set value stored in the internal work area 203 x 1) is described. While deleting (clearing) the predetermined data (except for the data 203x11), the external work area 203y1 And paid by the character object ratio data 203s, the base value data 203 r, (see FIG. 53) the error data 203t and may be held without being erased. That is, the RAM clear after the setting change process and the RAM clear executed when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the RAM clear mode may be the same process.

  In the eighth embodiment, the start-up mode when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during the setting change is not limited to the start-up operation for starting up the setting change mode. Even in the case of the other start-up operation, the case has been described where the setting change mode is executed in which the setting change process is executed from the beginning. On the other hand, the setting change process is started only if the start-up operation when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during the setting change is the start-up operation for starting in the setting change mode. Start up as setting change mode to be executed again, start up operation when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during setting change, other start up modes (normal mode, RAM clear mode, setting confirmation mode) In the case of the start-up operation corresponding to, the MPU 201 may be in an infinite loop state. In this case, the person concerned with the hall, etc. is temporarily turned off, and a notification urging to start again in the setting change mode is issued, or a signal notifying that is output from the external output terminal 503 to the hall computer 600. You may As a result, it is possible to cause a person in charge of hall or the like to restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode and reliably reset the probability setting value.

  Also, if the start-up operation when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during the setting change is the start-up operation for starting in the setting change mode or the setting check mode (that is, the setting key 501). When the power is turned on, the setting change process is started from the beginning and started as the setting change mode, and the start operation when the power is turned on after the power is turned off during the setting change is If it is a start-up operation corresponding to other start-up modes (normal mode, RAM clear mode) (that is, if the setting key 501 is turned off), the MPU 201 is in an infinite loop state. It is also good. In this case, the person concerned with the hall, etc. is temporarily turned off, and a notification urging to start again in the setting change mode is issued, or a signal notifying that is output from the external output terminal 503 to the hall computer 600. You may As a result, it is possible to have the person in charge of hall or the like restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode after turning on the setting key 501 and reliably reset the probability setting value. . On the other hand, when the start-up operation is performed in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, the setting key 501 is in the on state, and a person in charge of the hall is ready to smoothly update and confirm the probability setting value. There is. Therefore, in this case, the probability setting value can be reliably determined by activating in the setting change mode.

  In the eighth embodiment, after the power is turned off during the setting change, the start-up operation for starting in the normal mode, that is, the power is turned on with the setting key 501 turned off and the RAM erase switch 122 turned off. In the case of performing the start-up operation, the case has been described where the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode in which the setting change process is executed from the beginning (starting from scratch) instead of starting in the normal mode. On the other hand, in this case, the setting change process may be executed from the probability setting value which was in the middle of updating before the power was turned off last time. In addition, the setting change process that is being executed before the power is turned off may be ignored, and the probability setting value in the middle of updating may be erased, and the pachinko machine 10 may be launched in the normal mode.

  In the eighth embodiment, after the power is turned off during the setting change, the start-up operation for starting in the RAM clear mode, that is, the power is turned on by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 with the setting key 501 turned off. In the case where the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode in which the setting change process is executed from the beginning (starting from the top) and executed instead of the RAM clear mode. On the other hand, in this case, the setting change process may be executed from the probability setting value which was in the middle of updating before the power was turned off last time. Also, wait until the setting key 501 is turned on, and when the setting key 501 is turned on, wait for the setting key 501 to be turned off, and when the setting key 501 is turned off, stand in the normal mode as it is. It may be raised, or RAM clear may be executed. Also, the setting change process executed before the power is turned off may be ignored, and the probability setting value in the middle of updating may be erased to start the pachinko machine 10 in the RAM clear mode. After that, it waits until the setting key 501 is turned on, and when the setting key 501 is turned on, it waits for the setting key 501 to be turned off, and when the setting key 501 is turned off, the game can be executed. It may be It waits until the setting key 501 is turned on, and when the setting key 501 is turned on, the setting change mode which was being executed at the previous power-off by further waiting for the setting key 501 to be turned off is added. It is possible to give hall personnel etc. a feeling that the cancellation of.

  In the eighth embodiment, after the power is turned off during the setting change, the start-up operation for starting in the setting change mode, that is, the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on to turn on the power. When the start-up operation is performed, as described in the start-up operation, the case where the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode has been described. However, the process waits until the setting key 501 is turned on. Then, after the setting key 501 is turned off, the setting key 501 may be started in the normal mode as it is. As a result, it is possible to give hall personnel or the like a feeling that the release of the setting change mode performed at the time of the previous power-off has been cancelled.

  In the eighth embodiment, after the power is turned off during the setting change, the start operation for starting in the setting confirmation mode, that is, the power is turned on while the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off. In the case of launching the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode in which the setting change process is executed from the beginning (from above) and executed again rather than in the setting confirmation mode when the start-up operation of inserting is performed. The setting change processing may be executed from the probability setting value that was in the middle of updating before the power was turned off last time. In this case, after the setting key 501 is turned off, the setting confirmation process may be executed continuously or the setting confirmation process may be ignored. Further, the setting change process may be ignored, which is performed in the setting confirmation mode and performed before the power is turned off, and the probability setting value in the middle of updating may be deleted.

  In the eighth embodiment, after the power is turned off during the setting confirmation, the start-up operation for starting in the normal mode, that is, the power is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off with the setting key 501 turned off. In the case of setting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting confirmation mode in which the setting confirmation process is executed from the beginning (from above) and executed, instead of starting up in the normal mode. The pachinko machine 10 may be launched in the normal mode, ignoring the setting confirmation process that was being executed before the disconnection.

  In the eighth embodiment, after the power is turned off during the setting confirmation, a start-up operation for starting in the RAM clear mode, that is, the power is turned on by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 with the setting key 501 turned off. In the case of performing the start-up operation, the case where the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the RAM clear mode as described by the hall official has been described, but the setting confirmation process is performed instead of the RAM clear mode. The pachinko machine 10 may be started up in the setting confirmation mode which is executed from the beginning (start from the top). In this case, the process waits until the setting key 501 is turned on, and when the setting key 501 is turned on, it waits for the setting key 501 to be turned off and when the setting key 501 is turned off, the RAM is not cleared. Or RAM clear may be executed.

  In the eighth embodiment, after the power is turned off during the setting confirmation, the start-up operation for starting in the setting change mode, that is, the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on to turn on the power. Even when the launch operation is performed, the pachinko machine 10 is launched in the setting change mode as in the launch operation. However, the setting change mode may be ignored and the setup confirmation mode may be launched. . In addition, after starting in the setting confirmation mode, it may be made to shift to the setting change mode in response to a predetermined operation.

  In the above embodiment, each command is transmitted from the main control unit 110 to the voice lamp control unit 113, and the voice lamp control unit 113 instructs the display control unit 114 to display. The command may be sent directly from the control device 110 to the display control device 114. Further, an audio lamp control device may be connected to the display control device, and a command instructing output of each sound and lighting of the lamp may be transmitted from the display control device to the audio lamp control device. Furthermore, the audio lamp control device and the display control device may be configured as one control device. By making these into one control device, the number of parts can be reduced, and the cost increase of the pachinko machine can be suppressed.

  In the above embodiment, in the command determination process (S911) executed by the voice lamp control device 113, the case is described where the fluctuation start flag is set to ON whenever the stop type command is received When the stop type command is received after the change start flag is set, the change start flag may be set to on. Thereby, when there is no reception of the fluctuation pattern command and the stop type command is received, it is possible to suppress the execution of a strange fluctuation effect.

  Also, the fluctuation start flag may be set to ON at the timing when the fluctuation pattern command is received. In this case, in the variation display process (S910) executed by the audio lamp control device 113, a display for notifying the display control device 114 of the variation pattern extracted by the variation pattern command based on the fact that the variation start flag is turned on. A variation pattern command may be generated and transmitted to the display control device 114. In this way, without waiting for reception of the stop type command in the sound lamp control device 113, the display control device 114 causes the third symbol display device 81 to execute the fluctuation effect based on the display fluctuation pattern command. Can. In this case, the voice lamp control device 113 generates a display stop type command for notifying the display control device 114 of the stop type extracted from the stop type command at the timing when the stop type command is received, It may be transmitted to the display control device 114. Then, the display control device 114 may determine the stop symbol of the fluctuation effect executed by the third symbol display device 81 based on the display stop type command.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the image controller 236 transmits a V interrupt signal to the MPU 231 every display interval of an image of one frame for ending the drawing process (every 20 milliseconds in the above embodiment) will be described. However, the image controller 236 may transmit the V interrupt signal to the MPU 231 every time the third symbol display device 81 is driven to display an image of one frame. Since the driving of the third symbol display device 81 is always performed so that an image of one frame is always displayed at equal time intervals (20 millisecond intervals), the V interrupt signal is displayed every display of an image of one frame By sending, it is possible to keep accurate without having to time its time interval.

  In the above embodiment, the demonstration effect may be to stop and display the third symbol including the main symbol not having the numbers “0” to “9”. Further, the third symbol including the main symbol with numbers or the main symbol without numbers may be stopped and displayed in a semi-transparent state. In addition, only the back image may be changed without displaying the third symbol. In addition, a character or a back image that is completely different from the third pattern or the back image used in the variable display may be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, the continuous notice effect may be executed in the third symbol display device 81 where the fluctuation effect is performed, or the fourth symbol display device different from the third symbol display device 81 is provided, and the third symbol is displayed. The continuous notice effect may be executed by displaying the fourth symbol on the fourth symbol display device in addition to the change effect performed by the display device 81. In this case, control of the fourth symbol display device may be performed by the display control device 114 or may be performed by the sound lamp control device 113. In addition, an award winning feature may be provided in the pachinko machine 10 in accordance with various effects, and the bonus item may be combined with the fluctuation effect and actuated in a predetermined mode to perform continuous advance notice effect. In addition, the continuous announcement effect may be executed by causing the audio output device 226 of the pachinko machine 10 to output the sound for the continuous advance announcement effect by the control of the audio lamp control device 113, and the electric decoration portion of the pachinko machine 10 Continuous advance notice effects may be performed by lighting or blinking 29 to 33 together with the change effects.

  Thereby, every time when the fluctuation effect is performed in the third symbol display device 81 (and the first symbol display device 37), the symbol is continuously displayed on the fourth symbol display device, or the prize is operated in a predetermined mode Alternatively, the player can be made to have a feeling of jackpot expectation by outputting a voice from the voice output device 226 or lighting or blinking the lighting units 29 to 33. In addition, the player usually pays attention to the third symbol display device 81 on which the variable effect is performed and continues playing the game, but the display of symbols by the fourth symbol display device different from the third symbol display device 81 The continuous advance notice effect is performed by the action of the special effects, the voice output from the voice output device 226, or the lighting / flashing of the lighting units 29 to 33, so that the effect different from the normal is performed for the player. It can be easily recognized. In addition, continuous notice effects can be easily and easily continued by simple control such as display of symbols by the fourth symbol display device, activation of characters, voice output from the voice output device 226, or lighting / flashing of the illumination parts 29 to 33. An advance notice can be made.

  In addition, if the continuous advance notice effect is performed by the voice output from the voice output device 226 or the lighting or blinking of the illumination parts 29 to 33, the control of the continuous notice effect is performed by the voice lamp control device 113, so The main control unit 110 causes the main control unit 110 to perform a determination of acceptance or rejection at the start of the change, causes the voice lamp control unit 113 to perform continuous advance notice effects, and causes the display control unit 114 to perform change effects. In the case of performing the advance presentation, each control device can share each processing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the load from being concentrated on one control device, so it is possible to suppress the performance required for the MPU of each control device.

  In addition, the display of the symbol for the continuous advance notice effect in the third symbol display device 81, the display of the symbol for the continuous advance notice effect in the fourth symbol display device, the operation of the character in the predetermined mode, the voice from the voice output device 226 Continuous advance notice effects may be performed by combining at least two or more of the output and lighting or blinking of the illumination parts 29 to 33 and interlockingly controlling them. As a result, it is possible to execute a more diverse continuous notice effect. In addition, execution method of continuous announcement production (the indication with the 3rd symbol display 81, the indication with the 4th symbol display, the action of the special feature, the voice output from the voice output device 226, lighting or blinking of the electric decoration 29-33) Or, by changing the combination of them, prepare a plurality of continuous notice effect modes to be selected according to the gaming state (15R probability change big hit, 2R probability change big hit, 15R normal big hit, disengagement) after the continuous advance notice effect is over It is also good.

  In addition, when the continuous advance notice effect is performed, an image for the continuous advance notice effect other than the change effect may be displayed on the third symbol display device 81, or the continuous advance effect is performed when the change effect is ended. As a stop symbol to be displayed, it may be performed by displaying a so-called "chance" which is a combination of predetermined symbols. In this case, when it is determined that the continuous advance notice command is received in the command determination process (S1602 in FIG. 27C) executed by the MPU 221 of the display control device 114, the stop symbol determination flag corresponding to the chance is turned on. The other stop symbol determination flag may be set to off. In the command determination process, the process corresponding to the continuous notice command is executed in the other command processes after the stop identification command process, so the chance eye is stopped instead of the stop symbol set by the reception of the display stop identification command. Set as a symbol. Therefore, the chance eye can be confirmed and displayed at the time of the change stop. Then, in the third symbol display device 81, if the chance eyes are continuously displayed as the stop symbol for each of the fluctuation effects, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a big hit will be finally obtained.

  In the above embodiment, when there is a winning (start winning) to the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b, the main control unit 110 is the voice lamp control device 113 the number of holding balls added "1" In the case of transmitting to the voice lamp control device 113, the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 acquired from the buffer for the counter with the start winning are included as they are for the ball number command to be notified to The types of counters included in the ball number command may be part of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1, or may include values of other counters. Also, when the main controller 110 notifies the sound lamp control device 113 of the value of each counter acquired along with the start winning, information indicating the value of each of these counters is included in the pending ball number command and notified Alternatively, information indicating the value of each counter may be included in a command different from the hold ball number command to notify the sound lamp control device 113 of these values. Another command may be a dedicated command for notifying the voice lamp control device 113 of the value of each counter acquired along with the start winning, or voice other information such as a fluctuation pattern command or a stop symbol command. The value of each counter acquired along with the start winning may be added to the command for notifying the lamp control device 113. When the value of each counter acquired along with the start winning is notified to the voice lamp control device 113 as another command, the value of each counter to be notified of the command corresponds to a variation effect corresponding to any number of holding times. Information indicating whether it is such may be included. Thus, the voice lamp control device 113, based on the information on the number of holding times included in the command, each of the areas included in the command in any of the first to fourth areas of prefetch information corresponding to the number of holding times. The value of the counter can be stored.

  In the above embodiment, the voice lamp control device 113 may store the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 themselves indicated by the holding ball number command in the RAM 223 when the holding ball number command is received. , When a ball holding ball number command (or a command for which the value of each counter is indicated) is received, based on the value of each counter indicated by the command, whether the jackpot or not, jackpot type in the case of jackpot, out A part or all of the outlier type etc. in the case of is determined, and the result of these determinations is replaced with the value of each counter indicated by the command or combined with part or all of the value of the counter You may store in RAM223.

  In each of the above embodiments, regardless of which of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b the ball has won, the main control unit 110 uses the one holding ball number counter 203a to hold the number of holding balls. The case of counting has been described. On the other hand, in the holding ball number counter for the first starting opening corresponding to the first starting opening 64a, the holding sphere number counter for the second starting opening corresponding to the second starting opening 64b, and the RAM 203 of the main control device 110. It is possible to prepare and count the number of holding balls accompanying the starting winning to the first starting opening 64a and the number of holding balls for the starting winning to the second starting opening 64b separately.

  Moreover, although the said each embodiment demonstrated the case where the largest holding ball number which can be held is set to "4" irrespective of which of the 1st starting opening 64a and the 2nd starting opening 64b a ball has won. The maximum number of holding balls that can be held with the starting winning to the first starting opening 64a and the maximum number of holding balls that can be holding with the starting winning to the second starting opening 64b are separately defined and managed It is also good. For example, the maximum number of holding balls that can be held with the starting winning to the first starting opening 64a is "4", and the maximum number of holding balls that can be holding with the starting winning to the second starting opening 64b is "4" As a certain point, the number of holding balls held with the start winning to the first starting opening 64a is "4", and the number of holding balls held with the starting winning to the second starting opening 64b In a situation where the value is “2”, even if the first start opening 64a has more start-up winnings, the start-up winning is not held, but is held if there is a start-up winning at the second start opening 64b. May be Thereby, the player can be made to recognize the first start opening 64a and the second start opening 64b as separate ones, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  In addition, for example, the change effect based on the start winning to the second start opening 64b may be performed preferentially to the change effect based on the start to the first start opening 64a. Alternatively, the change effect based on the start winning to the first start opening 64a may be performed preferentially to the change effect based on the start to the second start opening 64b. As a result, the player can be made to pay more attention to the starting opening on which the change effect is given priority.

  In the embodiment described above, the case where the game board 13 is provided with the first start opening 64a and the second start opening 64b and the two start openings as the start openings for starting the lottery of the big hit when entering the ball However, the invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and the number of starting openings may be one, or three or more. In addition, when there are two or more starting openings, a corresponding holding ball number counter is prepared in the RAM 203 for each starting opening, and for each starting opening, the holding balls reserved with the winning of the corresponding starting opening The number may be counted. Also, for each starting opening, the maximum number of holding balls that can be held with the starting winning combination to the corresponding starting opening may be set.

  In addition, when there are two or more starting openings, the ball holding ball number command that the main control unit 110 transmits to the voice lamp control unit 113 to notify that the holding has been performed along with the winning of the starting opening will be any It may include information indicating whether or not the hold has been made by the winning opening of the. In addition, the fluctuation pattern command transmitted by the main controller 110 to the voice lamp control device 113 when the fluctuation is started may also include information indicating which of the starting ports is the fluctuation effect reserved by the start opening. By this, in the voice lamp control device 113, a reserved ball number counter is prepared for each starting opening, and when the reserved ball number command is received, the holding ball number counter for the starting opening indicated in the reserved ball number command If the number of holding balls is set to and the variation pattern command is received, the number of holding balls can be counted for each starting opening by decreasing the number of holding balls counter for the starting opening indicated in the changing pattern command by one.

  In addition, when a plurality of starting openings are disposed in the game board 13, the voice lamp control device 113 may be notified of the counter value acquired along with the winning on each starting opening (start winning). In this case, the command for the main controller 110 to notify the voice lamp control device 113 of the counter value acquired along with the start winning combination is acquired along with the starting winning combination to any starting opening. It may include information indicating whether there is any. In addition, the fluctuation pattern command that the main controller 110 transmits to the voice lamp control device 113 when the fluctuation is started may include information indicating which fluctuation is accompanied by the start winning to any of the starting openings. . Furthermore, in the RAM 223 of the voice lamp control device 113, a preread information storage area is prepared for each starting opening, and each counter value transmitted from the main control unit 110 in association with the starting winning combination to the corresponding starting opening It may be stored in the prefetch information storage area. Thus, every time the variation pattern command is received, the shift process is performed on the prefetch information storage area corresponding to the starting opening that has detected the start winning combination that has triggered the execution of the variation effect indicated by the variation pattern command. it can. Therefore, the value of each counter corresponding to the fluctuation effect on hold for each starting opening can be held also in the sound lamp control device 113. Therefore, if the probability of becoming a big hit, the classification probability of a big hit type, the distribution probability of a bad type, etc. differ depending on the starting opening that has started winning, whether or not it will be a big win for each fluctuation effect in the prefetch processing A jackpot type in the case of a jackpot, an outclassification in the case of an outlier, and the like can be correctly determined on the basis of which starting opening the starting winning combination is made. In addition, when the fluctuation effect based on the starting winning to the starting opening of 1 is performed prior to the fluctuation directing based on the starting winning to the other starting opening, the fluctuation based on the starting winning to the starting opening of 1 The prefetching process can be performed in order from the value of the counter corresponding to the effect, and the number of holdings of the fluctuation effect that will be a big hit most recently can be determined correctly.

  Further, when a plurality of starting ports are provided, the voice lamp control device 113 continuously notifies when the value of each counter acquired based on the starting winning to the starting port is received from the main control device 110 by a command. If the start of the effect is determined, the continuous advance notice effect may be executed over all the fluctuation effects (held balls) held at that time regardless of the starting opening where the starting winning combination was made. In addition, in pachinko machines that are provided with a plurality of starting openings, and that perform changing effects for winning in one starting opening prior to changing effects for winning in other starting openings, the priority is given to them. The start of the continuous advance notice effect may be determined based only on the pre-read result of the counter value acquired for the winning of the starting opening at which the change effect is performed. Thereby, with respect to the fluctuation effect corresponding to the winning to the starting opening with low priority, the presence or absence of the setting of the execution of the continuous advance notice effect is not determined, and the continuous advance notice effect is not started for this fluctuation effect. Temporarily, when the advance notice production is started for the fluctuation production corresponding to the winning to the starting opening with low priority, and when the fluctuation production is continuously suspended at the starting opening with high priority, the continuous announcement producing ends easily There is a risk that a situation may occur. On the other hand, in the present modification, the presence or absence of the setting of the execution of the continuous advance presentation effects is not determined with respect to the fluctuation effects corresponding to the winning to the starting opening with low priority. Since it does not start, such a situation can be suppressed.

In the above embodiment, when the voice lamp control device 113 receives the fluctuation pattern command transmitted from the main control device 110, the value of the number of holding balls stored in the RAM 223 is reduced by 1 (see S1107 in FIG. 26). However, it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the variation process performed by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 (see FIG. 13).
(See S305 in FIG. 13), the value (N) of the holding ball number counter 203a of the main control unit 110, which is subtracted according to the setting of the fluctuation pattern command in the fluctuation start process (S307). The ball holding ball number command is set to be transmitted from the control device 110 to the sound lamp control device 113, and the holding ball number command is transmitted from the main control device 110 to the sound lamp control device 113 together with the transmission of the variation pattern command. It may be sent. Thus, the sound lamp control device 113 can more accurately grasp the number of holding balls held by the main control device 110. In this case, S1107 in FIG. 26 is omitted. The fluctuation pattern command may also include the value (N) of the holding ball number counter 203a after subtraction. In this case, when the variation pattern command is received, the voice lamp control device 113 may extract the number of holding balls (N) included in the variation pattern command and set the number of holding balls stored in the RAM 223.

  In the above embodiment, the winning and passing of the through gate 67 to the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b are respectively suspended up to four times, but the maximum number of holding balls is four. The number of times is not limited, and may be set to three times or less, or five times or more (for example, eight times). In addition, the maximum number of holding balls may be set separately for the winning of the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b by the starting opening, and the maximum holding number of balls at each starting opening is “4 "" May be arbitrary numbers. Moreover, the maximum number of holding balls in each starting opening does not necessarily have to be the same value, and may be different values. In addition, the number of balls in the variable display based on winnings on the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b, the area divided into four or a number in a part of the third symbol display device 81 It may be displayed in an aspect (for example, color or lighting pattern) different by the number of holding balls, and a light emitting member such as a lamp is provided separately from the first symbol display device 37 It may be configured to notify the number.

  Further, as shown in the above embodiment, the variable display, which is a kind of dynamic display, is not limited to the one in which the symbols as identification information are scrolled in the vertical direction on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81. It may be performed by moving and displaying a design along a predetermined path such as direction or L-shape. In addition, the dynamic display of identification information is not limited to the variable display of symbols, and, for example, one or more characters may be displayed in various ways along with the symbols or in addition to the symbols, or may be displayed in various ways. It also includes the effect display etc. In this case, one or more characters are used as the third symbol.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the case of displaying a high-speed variation in which all symbols Z1 to Z3 are scrolled at a high speed to the extent that the player can not visually recognize is displayed. In this case, all the symbols Z1 to Z3 may be reduced and displayed to an extent that they can not be visually recognized, or all the symbols Z1 to Z3 may be displayed as snow noise-like images in which a large number of white points are displayed randomly.

  The present invention may be implemented on a type of pachinko machine or the like different from the above embodiment. For example, a pachinko machine (common name, two-time, three-time, and so on) in which the jackpot expected value can be increased until the jackpot state occurs a plurality of times (for example, twice and three times) May be implemented as In addition, after the jackpot symbol is displayed, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that generates a special game in which a predetermined game value is given to the player, as a prerequisite to winning a ball in a predetermined area. In addition, it is possible to have the winning device which possesses special territory such as V zone and to execute to the pachinko machine which becomes special game state as a necessary condition to make the special territory win the ball. Furthermore, in addition to pachinko machines, various types of gaming machines may be implemented, such as arelapachis, ball balls, slot machines, gaming machines in which so-called pachinko machines and slot machines are fused.

  In the slot machine, for example, a symbol is changed by operating the operation lever in a state where the coin is inserted and the symbol effective line is determined, and the symbol is stopped and determined by operating the stop button. It is a thing. Therefore, as a basic concept of the slot machine, “a display device is provided which displays the identification information after displaying the identification information sequence consisting of a plurality of identification information in a variable manner, and is derived from the operation of the starting operation means The variable display of identification information is started, and the variable display of identification information is stopped and fixedly displayed due to the operation of the operation means for stop (for example, stop button) or when a predetermined time elapses. It is a slot machine that generates a special game that gives a predetermined game value to the player, as a prerequisite that the combination of identification information at the time is a specific one. In this case, the game medium is a coin, a medal, etc. An example is given.

  In the slot machine, the ratio of the number of gaming media paid out by the bonus (characters) to the total number of gaming media (coins, medals) paid out during the predetermined period is the bonus ratio. Therefore, the number of game media to be paid out when each combination is realized is stored in the ROM of the main control device instead of the winning balls number table 202e, and is equivalent to the prize ratio management chip or the prize ratio management chip. In the control device that executes the function, the number of winnings established during the non-bonus game period (normal period), the number of winnings established during the bonus game, and the duration during the AT The number of roles played may be counted, and the feature ratio and the continuous feature ratio may be managed.

  In addition, as a specific example of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused, a display device is provided which variably displays a symbol row consisting of a plurality of symbols and then displays the symbols, and is provided with a handle for ball launch. Not included. In this case, after the injection of a predetermined amount of balls based on a predetermined operation (button operation), for example, the variation of the symbol is started due to the operation of the operation lever, for example, due to the operation of the stop button or By the passage of time, the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped, and a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player is generated as a necessary condition that the determined symbol at the time of the stop is a so-called jackpot symbol. Is a lot of balls being dispensed to the lower tray. If such a gaming machine is used in place of a slot machine, only balls can be handled as gaming value in the gaming hall, so the gaming value is found in the current gaming hall where pachinko machines and slot machines are mixed. It is possible to solve the problems such as the burden on equipment due to the separate handling of medals and balls and the restriction on the installation location of gaming machines.

Second storage means for storing read / write second information used when the second storage means is different from the first storage means and the second means different from the first process is executed by the arithmetic means When,
The second computing means is stored in the second storage means from the stage where the first means is performing the first processing using the first information stored in the first storage means Save means for saving the contents of the register to a predetermined area of the second storage means by a load instruction or a store instruction when moving to a step of executing the second process using information;
From the stage where the second processing is performed using the second information stored in the second storage unit, the first calculation unit stores the first processing in the first storage unit. Returning means for returning the contents of the register saved in the predetermined area of the second storage means to the corresponding register when returning to the step of executing the first process using information; A game machine P1 characterized by comprising.

  According to the gaming machine P1, main control means for controlling a game is provided. In the main control means, when the first process for performing main control of the game is executed by the computing means for performing computations, the first information used for the execution of the first process can be read / written so as to be readable and writable It is stored in the storage means. In addition, the second information used in the case where the second storage unit is different from the first storage unit in the storage area and the second processing different from the first processing is executed by the computing unit is readable and writable in the second storage unit. It is memorized. Then, from the stage where the computing means executes the first process using the first information stored in the first storage means, the computing means uses the second information stored in the second storage means When shifting to the stage of executing the second processing, the contents of the register are saved by the save means to a predetermined area of the second storage means by a load instruction or a store instruction. On the other hand, from the stage where the computing means executes the second process using the second information stored in the second storage means, the computing means uses the first information stored in the first storage means When returning to the step of executing the first process, the contents of the registers saved in the predetermined area of the second storage means are returned to the corresponding registers by the return means. As a result, the information stored in the register can be appropriately protected from the information used in the process of performing the main control of the game from the other processes. In addition, since the contents of the register are saved to a predetermined area of the second storage unit by a load instruction or a store instruction, the place to be saved is fixed to the predetermined area, as compared with the case of saving to the stack area. be able to. Therefore, while performing the second process, the register used in the first process is configured by combining the program so as to use the second storage means while clearly avoiding the predetermined area in which the contents of the register are saved. Can securely protect the contents of Therefore, there is an effect that information used in main control of the game can be suitably protected.
