  The guide path 202 in this embodiment is curved in the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction from the upper part of the right gaming area 10R to the crew unit 210. For this reason, the gaming balls flowing down in the guide path 202 are decelerated in the guide path 202 in order to flow down toward the cruise unit 210 while being in contact with the inner wall of the guide path 202. On the downstream side of the guide path 202, a restricting member 230 driven by a solenoid 83 (see FIG. 2) provided in the cruise unit 210 is provided. The restricting member 230 projects into the guide path 202 by driving the solenoid 83, thereby restricting the entry of the gaming ball having flowed down the guide path 202 into the lock unit 210, and from within the guide path 202. By evacuating, slide movement is provided between an allowance state in which the game ball having flowed down in the guide path 202 is allowed to enter into the cloon unit 210. In the present embodiment, as described above, the gaming ball flowing down the guide path 202 is decelerated in the process of flowing down the guide path 202, so the regulating member 230 in the restricted state is damaged by the contact with the gaming ball. It is prevented that it does.

  At the downstream end of the guide path 202 of the present embodiment, an entry detection switch 204 for detecting a game ball entering the clave unit 210 is provided. The entry detection switch 204 is connected to the switch circuit 110. Therefore, the CPU 103 can determine whether or not the gaming ball has entered into the clone unit 210 based on the signal output from the entry detection switch 204. When the CPU 103 determines that the gaming ball has entered the clavne unit 210 based on the signal output from the entry detection switch 204, the control member 230 is changed to the regulated state by driving the solenoid 83, and the crunch is generated. It is configured to prevent two or more game balls from entering the unit 210.

  Further, from the vicinity of the downstream end of the guide path 202 of this embodiment, the game ball whose entrance to the ground unit 210 is blocked (restricted) by the restricting member 230 in the restricted state is discharged from the guide path 202 The discharge path 203 is branched. The downstream end of the discharge path 203 is disposed above the special variable winning ball device 7 and the normal variable winning ball device 6B, as shown in FIG. For this reason, the gaming ball which is prevented (restricted) from entering the clavne unit 210 in the big hit game or time saving state described later wins the big winning opening and the second starting winning opening by flowing down the discharge path 203 There is a case.

It is comprised from the 2nd board part 265b, 265b which protrudes below from both ends, and the heat sink 265c extended in the horizontal direction from the 1st board part 265a. Further, a through hole 266 which is directed in the vertical direction is formed in the first plate portion 265a, and a thermally conductive sheet 264 is disposed on the lower surface of the first plate portion 265a. The through hole 266 of the present embodiment is formed in a circular shape in plan view, and the thermally conductive sheet 264 is formed in an annular shape having a diameter larger than that of the through hole 266. Furthermore, the heat conductive sheet 264 is disposed concentrically around the through hole 266 with respect to the through hole 266. The material of the heat sink 265 is not limited to aluminum, and may be another metal such as copper as long as it has high thermal conductivity, machinability and is inexpensive. And may be nonmetal.

  Here, the thermally conductive sheet 264 used in the present embodiment will be described. The thermally conductive sheet 264 is a sheet obtained by molding a polymer material having rubber elasticity, and the heat contained in the polymer material A thermal conductivity filler having a thermal conductivity higher than the conductivity is dispersed in a polymer material. As the polymer material having rubber elasticity, a material which does not lose elasticity or mechanical strength even if a large amount of the thermal conductivity filler is dispersed is preferable, for example, thermoplastic elastomer resin, thermosetting silicone resin, etc. Just do it. In particular, many silicone resins have low viscosity and low viscosity without curing until they are mixed with a curing agent, and the dispersion of the thermal conductivity filler is easy and the handling thereof is easy, For example, a liquid silicone resin which is liquid and can be molded into a sheet having rubber elasticity by curing can be suitably used.

  As a thermal conductivity filler to be compounded and dispersed in these polymer materials, it has a thermal conductivity higher than that of the polymer material to be used, and the thermal conductivity of the polymer material can be increased with a small blending amount, and It is preferable that the cost be low, for example, carbon-based conductive materials such as carbon and graphite, various metal powders, or high thermal conductivity such as alumina ceramics, boron nitride ceramics, silicon nitride ceramics, aluminum nitride ceramics and silicon carbide A ceramic is illustrated. Among these, although carbon-based conductive materials and metal powders are relatively inexpensive, if they are blended until the thermal conductivity of the polymer material is improved, the electrical insulation properties of the polymer material will be lowered, and the contacting electric A high thermal conductivity ceramic which does not reduce the electrical insulation of the polymer material is preferable because the possibility of a failure due to a short circuit or the like in the component increases. However, a carbon-based conductive material, for example, a mixture of carbon nanotubes and a high thermal conductivity ceramic may be used.

  The thermal conductivity filler appropriately selected from these may be mixed and dispersed in, for example, a liquid silicone resin, and then a curing material may be mixed and formed into a sheet and then cured by heating or the like. Moreover, although the compounding quantity of the thermal conductivity filler mixed and disperse | distributed can increase thermal conductivity, if this is large, since the mechanical strength and elasticity of the elastic sheet obtained will fall, the elastic sheet obtained is obtained. It is preferable to set it as the compounding quantity from which the mechanical strength and elasticity of the above become a practical range, and in practice, it may be in the range of 40 to 65% by volume. Moreover, as thermal conductivity of the elastic sheet obtained, what is 1 W / m * K or more, More preferably, it is 2 W / m * K or more.

  In the case of a sheet shape, if it is necessary to punch out into a shape that conforms to the shape of the drive motor 260, the variation in the shape etc. of the shape is large individually, and the shape reproducibility is deteriorated. Since the heat conductive sheet 264 is more likely to break if the heat conductive sheet 264 protrudes beyond the contact surface, for example, a liquid silicone resin before curing mixed with a curing material is Using a screen plate in the shape of the heat conductive sheet 264, screen printing is performed on a mold release paper and the like, and then heat curing is performed, and the heat conductivity is printed and formed on the mold release paper with high dimensional accuracy. The sheet 264 may be transferred to the heat sink 265 and attached to an appropriate position. If the thickness of the heat conductive sheet 264 is too thin, the gap between the drive motor 260 and the heat sink 265 can not be properly filled, and good transfer of heat from the drive motor 260 to the heat sink 265 can not be achieved. On the contrary, since the heat transfer resistance in the heat conductive sheet 264 is increased even if the thickness is too thick, the minimum thickness capable of satisfactorily filling the gap between the drive motor 260 and the heat sink 265, for example, The thickness may be about 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm.

  In addition, as the heat conductive sheet 264, in addition to the sheet produced as described above, as long as it has the same specification, a commercially available or commercially available sheet may be used appropriately. In addition, a heat dissipation plate 265c is extended from the first plate portion 265a to the right. The heat dissipation plate 265c is formed with a plurality of through holes 267 directed in the vertical direction, and a wall portion 268 along the periphery of each through hole 267 protrudes downward around each through hole 267. It is done.

  The drive motor 260 is disposed between the second plate portions 265 b and 265 b and held by the heat sink 265 and the mounting member 257 by tightening the mounting member 257 against the heat sink 265 by a plurality of bolts. . That is, in the heat sink 265 in the present embodiment, the first plate portion 265a and the second plate portions 265b and 265b constitute an accommodating portion in the present invention. At the upper end of the drive motor 260, a protrusion 260a is formed, which protrudes upward and exposes at its center a drive shaft 260 'which is rotated by driving the drive motor 260, The protrusion 260 a is inserted into the through hole 266.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9 (B), the mounting member 257 is tightened to the heat sink 265 by a plurality of bolts, so that the drive motor 260 includes the upper end portion of the drive motor 260 and the first plate portion 265a. The heat conductive sheet 264 is pressed. At this time, the thermally conductive sheet 264 is elastically deformed by being pinched by the upper end portion (upper surface) of the drive motor 260 and the first plate portion 265 a, but the edge of the thermally conductive sheet 264 after the elastic deformation The portion does not bulge from the upper end portion of the drive motor 260 to the first plate portion 265a toward the inner side (within the through hole 266) or the outer side of the drive motor 260 and the upper end portion and the first plate portion 265a. ing. Therefore, even if the drive motor 260 vibrates due to the drive of the drive motor 260 or the gear 258 (described later) rotated by the drive, the end of the heat conductive sheet 264 is broken, and the broken piece causes the drive motor 260 to It is prevented that problems occur in driving, rotation of the rotation shaft 229, and the like.

  When the drive motor 260 is actually held by the heat sink 265 and the mounting member 257, the heat sink 265 and the mounting member are confirmed after confirming that the positional relationship between the protrusion 260a and the through hole 266 and the thermally conductive sheet 264 is correct. It is necessary to fasten 257 with a bolt. For this reason, when assembling the ground unit 210, with the thermally conductive sheet 264 being disposed around the protrusion 260a at the upper end portion of the drive motor 260, the drive motor 260 can be used as both the second plate portion 265b, After being placed between 265b, the heat sink 265 and the mounting member 257 may be tightened with a plurality of bolts. In addition, while forming a groove portion having a shape capable of accommodating the thermally conductive sheet 264 in a state of being elastically deformed on the lower surface of the first plate portion 265a, as shown in FIG. 8, the lower surface of the first plate portion 265a faces upward. In the above state, the heat conductive sheet 264 is positioned in the through hole 266 by disposing the heat conductive sheet 264 in the groove portion, and the drive motor 260 is further positioned between the second plate portion 265b and 265b from above. The heat sink 265 and the mounting member 257 may be tightened by a plurality of bolts in a manner disposed in the above.

  As described above, since the drive motor 260 is held by the heat sink 265 and the attachment member 257, the heat generated by the drive is transmitted to the heat dissipation plate 265c through the heat conductive sheet 264 and the first plate portion 265a. It has become. The heat transmitted to the heat sink 265c is dissipated from the heat sink 265c. In the heat sink 265c of the present embodiment, the formation of the plurality of through holes 267 and the wall portion 268 makes the area exposed to air wider than in the case where the through holes 267 and the wall portion 268 are not formed. Since the through hole 267 and the wall portion 268 are not formed, the heat generated from the drive motor 260 can be dissipated more efficiently. The drive motor 260 held by the heat sink 265 and the attachment member 257 is disposed on the front side of the bottom of the clune unit 210 by attaching the attachment member 257 to the clune unit 210 by a plurality of bolts. The drive motor 260 has a pivot at its lower end facing in the vertical direction. The pivot is rotatably provided by the drive of a drive motor 260, and a gear 258 is pivotally supported by the pivot.

Further, the gear 256 is also in mesh with a gear 255 pivotally supported at the lower end portion of the pivot shaft 229 described above. That is, the drive motor 260 of this embodiment transmits the driving force to the rotating shaft 229 via the gears 255, 256, and 258, and the rotating shaft 229 is driven by the driving force transmitted from the drive motor 260. It rotates at a constant speed. Incidentally, on the front side of the bottom of the clune unit 210 according to this embodiment, the rotation of the gear 255 (and further the rotation shaft 229) is detected by detecting notches formed in the gear 255 at regular intervals. Sensor S is also provided (not shown in FIG. 2). The sensor S can output a signal to the CPU 103 via the switch circuit 110, and the CPU 103 determines whether the rotation shaft 229 is rotated based on the signal output from the sensor S. And, it can be judged whether or not the rotation speed is a constant speed.

  As shown in FIG. 7A and FIG. 8, on the rear side of the bottom portion of the clune unit 210, a wall portion 261 'formed to be long in the lateral width direction is provided. The drive motor 260, the heat sink 265, the mounting member 257, and the gears 255, 256, and 258 are disposed on the front side of the wall portion 261 '. Further, on the rear side of the wall portion 261 ', a drive substrate 261 including a motor drive circuit for driving the drive motor 260 according to the control of the CPU 103, a circuit related to the sensor S, and the like is disposed. That is, the wall portion 261 'in the present embodiment is disposed to divide the drive motor 260 and the motor drive circuit, and the motor on the drive substrate 261 due to the electromagnetic noise emitted by the drive motor 260 and the heat radiation from the heat sink 265. Malfunctions of the drive circuit and the like are prevented. The motor drive circuit mounted on the drive substrate 261 of the present embodiment is a drive motor regardless of the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 from the state where the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered on to enable gaming. 260 is continuously driven with a predetermined constant output. That is, regardless of the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the pivoting shaft 229 of this embodiment continues to rotate at a constant speed until the supply of power to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped.

  FIG. 11 shows a variation pattern of this embodiment. In the present embodiment, a plurality of fluctuation patterns as shown in FIG. 11 are prepared in advance. Specifically, in the present embodiment, among the cases in which the variation display result is “off”, the variation display mode of the rendering symbol is “non-reach” and corresponds to the case of “reach”, respectively. In addition, a plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the fluctuation display result is a "big hit" or the like.

  The reach effect of normal reach is executed for the big hit fluctuation pattern which is the fluctuation pattern corresponding to the fluctuation display result is "big hit", and the reach fluctuation pattern when the fluctuation display mode of the production design is "reach" There are a normal reach fluctuation pattern and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which super reach reach effects such as super reach α and super reach β are executed. In the present embodiment, only one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach α, normal reach β,... You may provide the normal reach fluctuation pattern of. In addition to the super reach fluctuation pattern, three or more super reach fluctuation patterns such as super reach γ may be provided in addition to the super reach α and the super reach β.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in this embodiment is executed is set shorter than the super reach fluctuation patterns super reach α and super reach β. . In addition, regarding the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach such as the super reach α and the super reach β in the present embodiment is executed, the fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect of the super reach β is executed However, the special figure fluctuation time is set to be longer than the fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect of the super reach α is executed. In the present embodiment, as described above, since the fluctuation display result is “big hit” in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, the big hit expectation is set to be high. In the reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time, the higher the jackpot expectation.

  In addition to the game control program, the ROM 101 of the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 stores various selection data, table data, etc. used to control the progress of the game. . For example, the ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables and setting tables prepared in advance for the CPU 103 to make various determinations, determinations, and settings. Also, the ROM 101 stores a plurality of types of table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 103 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the main board 11 and a plurality of fluctuation patterns as shown in FIG. Table data etc. which constitute a fluctuation pattern table are stored.

  FIG. 12 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In this embodiment, the display result determination table common to the first and second special views is used as the display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. And the second special view may use individual display result determination tables. Before the finalized special symbol is derived and displayed in the special drawing game of the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B, the display result judgment table is in the big hit gaming state with the variable display result as the "big hit". It is a table referenced to determine whether to control based on the random value MR1. In the display result determination table of the present embodiment, a numerical value (compared to the random value MR1 depending on whether the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) or the probability variation state (high probability state) A judgment value) is assigned to the "big hit" or "off" special map display result.

  In the display result determination table, determination data is allocated to the determination result as to whether or not the special view display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as "big hit". Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is a definite change state (high probability state), more determination values are “big hit” than in the normal state or the short time state (low probability state). It is assigned to the figure display result. In this way, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit" when in the normal state or the short time state (low probable state) in the positive variation state where high probability control is performed Compared to (about 1/300 in the present embodiment), the probability that it is determined that the special image display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit" is higher (about 1/30 in the present embodiment). That is, in the display result determination table, when the gaming state is the high probability state, the probability that it is determined to control the big hit gaming state is higher than when it is in the normal state or the short time state, The determination data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state.

  In the ROM 101, when it is determined to control to a big hit gaming state, a big hit type determination table or random number value MR3 that is referred to determine a big hit type to any one of a plurality of types based on the random value MR2. A variation pattern determination table for determining a variation pattern based on one of the variation patterns shown in FIG. 11 described above is also stored.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the big hit type determination table of the present embodiment is different in the ratio from the "probably big hit A" and "probably big hit B" and "non-prone hit big hit" as the big hit type according to the fluctuation special chart. decide. Here, the jackpot type in the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 13B. In the present embodiment, high probability control and time saving control are executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state as the jackpot type. There are set a definite variation big hit A or a definite variation big hit B to shift to the high definite base state, and a non-probable variation big hit to execute only the time reduction control to shift to the low certainty high base status after the big hit gaming state ends.

  The high probability control and the time saving control executed after the end of the big hit gaming state of the definite variation big hit A or the definite variation big hit B are continuously executed until the big hit occurs again after the end of the big hit gaming state. Therefore, when the big hit that occurred again is the definite variation big hit A or the definite variation big hit B, the high probability control and the time saving control are executed again after the big hit gaming state ends, so the big hit gaming state does not go through the normal state It is a so-called continuous state that occurs continuously. On the other hand, the time reduction control to be executed after the end of the big hit gaming state due to the “non-probable variation big hit” is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) or the predetermined number of special figure games It ends by becoming a big hit game state before is executed.

  The number of rounds in the big hit game of the present embodiment is the big hit type, and the game ball which has entered into the clave unit 210 passes any of the first area through hole 221 ′ to the fourth area through hole 224 ′. It depends on whether you have entered the mouth or not. Specifically, when the jackpot type is "probably big hit A", the gaming ball that has entered the clavne unit 210 has entered any of the first region through hole 221 'to the fourth region through hole 224' Even in this case, the number of rounds in the big hit game will be 16 rounds. If the jackpot type is "probable big hit B", the game ball entered into the clavne unit 210 enters the first area through hole 221 'or the third area through hole 223', the big hit game If the number of rounds in the game is 16 and the game ball entered into the clavne unit 210 enters the second area through port 222 'or the fourth area through port 224', the number of rounds in the big hit game is 2 rounds Become. When the jackpot type is “non-probable variation jackpot”, when the gaming ball entering the clavne unit 210 enters any of the first area through hole 221 ′ and the third area through hole 223 ′. The number of rounds in the big hit game is 2 rounds, and when the gaming ball having entered the lone unit 210 enters the fourth region through hole 224 ′, the number of rounds in the big hit game is 16 rounds.

  In addition, as the fluctuation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 101, it is determined in advance that the "big hit" change pattern determination table used when it is determined in advance that the "big hit" is used. A release fluctuation pattern determination table to be used at the time is prepared in advance. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern of the reach is more easily determined when the hit is a big hit than when it is out, and the probability (reliability and expectation) is high when the reach occurs. As a result, even if the fluctuation pattern of the same reach is the same, the probability (reliability and expectation) of the super reach is higher than that of the normal reach. However, determination values corresponding to each variation pattern are set in the variation pattern determination table for big hit and the variation pattern determination table for deviation so as to increase the probability (reliability and expectation) of becoming a probability variation big hit.

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

  The RAM 102 included in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 may be a backup RAM backed up partially or entirely by a backup power supply from a predetermined power supply substrate. That is, even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, the content of part or all of the RAM 102 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply discharges and the power supply of the backup power supply becomes impossible). When the power is turned on again, it takes over data indicating the progress of the game such as data corresponding to the gaming state, ie, the control state of the game control means (such as a special drawing process flag) and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls. do it.

  Such a RAM 102 is provided with a game control data holding area (not shown) as an area for holding various data used to control the progress of the game or the like. In the game control data holding area, although the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A and the start winning (first start winning) occurs, it has not been started yet.

As an example, in the effect control board 12, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the effect control program read from the ROM 121, various processes for controlling the effect operation by the effect electric component are executed. For example, as processing for controlling the rendering operation, the CPU 120 for rendering control receives input of various signals from the outside of the rendering control board 12 via the I / O 125, and the CPU 120 for rendering control via the I / O 125 Thus, transmission processing for outputting various signals to the outside of the effect control board 12 is also performed. In addition, also on the side of the effect control board 12, similarly to the main board 11, for example, various random number values (also referred to as effect random numbers) for determining execution, non-execution of various effects, type of effect, etc. are set. It is done. In addition to the program for effect control, the ROM 121 also determines various table data used to control the effect operation, for example, execution and non-execution of various effects, type of effect, etc. The table data which comprises a plurality of judgment tables, the pattern data which constitutes the production control pattern corresponding to each fluctuation pattern, etc. are stored. Among the effect control patterns, the special pattern fluctuation effect control pattern is the fluctuation display of the effect symbol during the period from when the fluctuation of the special symbol is started until the finalized special symbol is derived and displayed corresponding to each fluctuation pattern It is comprised from the data etc. which show the control content of various presentation operation | movements, such as an operation | movement and a reach production.

  Further, the RAM 122 is provided with, for example, an effect control data holding area (not shown) as an area for holding various data used to control the effect operation. The effect control data holding area includes an effect control flag setting unit provided with a plurality of types of flags capable of updating the state according to an effect operation state, an effect control command transmitted from the main substrate 11, etc., and various effect operations The effect control timer setting unit and effect control counter setting unit provided with a plurality of types of timers and counters used to control the progress of the image, and the data used to control the progress of various effect operations are temporarily used. And an effect control buffer setting unit provided with various buffers to be stored.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the fact that the gaming ball has passed through a first entrance 201 'described later, a regular game with the normal symbol display device 20 is started. After starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, if the specified time which becomes the common drawing fluctuation time elapses, and the normal symbol other than the common drawing is stopped and displayed, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is "general drawing is off" Become. If a specific normal symbol (normal symbol per symbol) is stopped and displayed, the variation display result of the normal symbol becomes "per common symbol" and the open control is such that the movable plate of the normally variable winning ball device 6B is retracted from the game area 10. The normal opening control is performed to return to the closed position projecting to the game area 10 when the predetermined time has elapsed.

  For example, based on the fact that the first start condition has been established, for example, due to the end of the previous special view game or the big hit gaming state after the first start condition is established after the game ball has won the first start winning opening etc. , A special drawing game by the first special symbol display 4A is started. In addition, after the second start condition is satisfied by the game ball winning the second start winning opening, etc., the second start condition is satisfied by, for example, the end of the previous special view game or the big hit gaming state. Based on the special symbol game by the second special symbol display 4B is started. In the special drawing game, after the variable display of the special symbol is started, when the variable display time elapses, the finalized special symbol (special drawing display result) is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed, it becomes "big hit" as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes "off". After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit", it is controlled to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as a "round game") is executed a predetermined number of times. In the jackpot gaming state, a period until the predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, nine pieces) of winning balls of the special winning hole device of the special variable winning ball device 7 In the period until the occurrence of, the big winning opening will be in the open state. As a result, a round is performed in which the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is brought into the first state (opened state) which is advantageous for the player.

  The special winning opening door with the big winning opening opened during execution of the round receives the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2, and then the special winning opening is closed, thereby the special variable winning winning ball device 7 is changed to a second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16” or the like).

  In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, variable display of effect symbols is started in response to the start of the special drawing game. And in a period from the start of the fluctuation display of the production design to the end of the fluctuation display, the fluctuation display state of the production design may be in a predetermined reach state. In the reach state, when the effect pattern stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination, the display is continuously changing for the effect pattern that is not stopped and displayed yet. A state or a display state in which all or a part of the production symbols are fluctuating in synchronization while constituting all or a part of the jackpot combination.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special drawing game, a fixed effect symbol which is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as "non-probable variation big hit combination") is displayed in a stopped state among a plurality of big hit combinations, and a variation display result is "non positive variation big hit When it becomes "", it is controlled to a big hit state, and time shortening control (time saving control) is performed after the end. By performing the time saving control, the variation display time (special figure variation time) of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time-saving control, so-called electric chew support is implemented in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency of the normally variable winning ball device 6B is increased. In the time-saving control, either of the special figure game being executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the end of the big hit gaming state and the variation display result being a "big hit", either condition is established first When it is done, you should finish.

  As a fixed special symbol in a special drawing game, a fixed effect symbol which is a predetermined probability variation big hit combination (also referred to as a “positive variation big hit combination”) among a plurality of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed, and a variation display result is “positive variation big hit” When it becomes, it is controlled to the big hit state, and the probability fluctuation control (probability change control) is performed with time saving control after the end. By performing this probability change control, the probability that the variable display result will be a "big hit" in the special drawing game of each time is improved to be higher than that in the normal state. The probability change control is a predetermined number of times after the end of the big hit gaming state (for example, 100 same as the number of time reductions) when the condition that the variation display result is “big hit” after the end of the big hit gaming state and the big hit gaming state is controlled again When a special figure game is played, the decision of "with a definite change fall" is made to end the definite change control in the definite change fall lottery which is executed each time the special view game is started after the end of the big hit gaming state When and so on, it should end.

  When time saving control is performed, control to shorten the fluctuation time of the normal symbol (general drawing fluctuation time) in the regular drawing game than in the normal state, or the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol in each regular drawing game Control to improve the probability of becoming a “hit” compared to that in the normal state, and the movement control time for performing movement control of the movable plate in the normally variable winning ball device 6B based on the fluctuation display result being “per common” The game ball is likely to pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control to be longer than in the state, and control to increase the number of movements more than in the normal state, and the second start condition may be established. The control (electric chew support control, high open control) that is advantageous to the player is performed by As a result, the second start condition for executing the special view game using the second special view can be easily established, and the special view game can be executed frequently, so that the variation display result is "big hit" next. The time to become is reduced.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. In the main substrate 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply substrate is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing to be gaming control main processing. When the game control timer interrupt process is started in the game control main process, the switch process, the main side error process, the information output process, the game random number update process, the special symbol process process, the normal symbol process process, the command control process shown in FIG. Run.

  In the special symbol process process shown in FIG. 15, the value of the special view process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit (not shown) is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display is displayed. Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of display operation in bowl 4A and second special symbol display 4B and opening / closing operation setting of special winning opening in special variable winning prize ball device 7 according to a predetermined procedure. Ru.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol process processing. In the special symbol process process, first, the start winning determination process is executed (S21). Thereafter, depending on the value of the special drawing process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152, one of the processes of S22 to S29 is selected and executed. In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether there is a first start winning or a second start winning by the first starting opening switch 22A or the second starting opening switch 22B, and if there is a winning, the random value MR1, MR2 and MR3 are extracted, and they are stored at the top of the vacant entry of the first special drawing reservation storage section if they are the first starting winning combination, and they are the second special drawing reservation if they are the second starting winning combination. Store at the top of the free entry in the storage unit.

  The special symbol normal processing of S22 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "0". In the special symbol normal processing, it is determined whether or not to start the special drawing game based on the presence or absence of the pending data. In addition, based on numerical data indicating the random number value MR1, it is determined (predetermined) whether or not the variable display result is to be "big hit" before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, a determined special symbol (either a big hit symbol or an off symbol) is set in accordance with the variable display result. Then, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “1”. The variation pattern setting process of S23 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "1". The variation pattern setting process is a process of determining the variation pattern to any one of a plurality of types using numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 based on the preliminary determination result of whether or not the variation display result is "big hit". It is included. Then, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "2".

  The special symbol variation process of S24 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "2". In special symbol variation processing, processing to perform setting for varying the special symbol by the first special symbol indicator 4A or the second special symbol indicator 4B, and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol Processing etc. is included. In addition, when the fluctuation elapsed time of the special symbol reaches the special drawing fluctuation time, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "3". The special symbol stopping process of S25 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "3". Special symbol stop processing includes processing to perform setting for stopping (deriving) a finalized special symbol that will be a variation display result of a special symbol on the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B. It is done. Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is turned on, and if the big hit flag is turned on, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off, the value of the special process process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit opening pre-processing of S26 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "4". In the big hit opening pre-processing, on the basis of the fluctuation display result becoming “big hit” etc., the process to start the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and perform the setting to open the big winning opening include. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, by driving the solenoid 83, the clone unit 210 is made into a state where the gaming ball can enter. When the gaming ball has entered the clavne unit 210 (when the entry detection switch 204 detects the gaming ball), the solenoid 83 is driven to make the gaming ball incapable of entering the lone unit 210. Then, the number of rounds of the big hit is determined based on which through hole the big hit type and the game ball have entered (which region switch is detected), and it waits until the start of the round. At this time, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5".

  The big hit open processing of S27 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "5". The big hit opening process is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, the elapsed time measured, the number of gaming balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. It includes a process of determining whether it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, the processing of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is executed, and then the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "6". . The big hit opening post process of S28 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "6". In this big hit opening post-processing, processing to determine whether the number of times the execution number of the round to open the big winning opening has reached the number of times determined or a big hit end when reaching the maximum winning number open number of times It includes a process of setting for sending a designated command. Then, when the number of round executions has not reached the maximum winning opening open number maximum value, while the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5", when the maximum winning opening opening number maximum value is reached, the special drawing The value of the process flag is updated to "7".

  The big hit end processing of S29 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "7". The big hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which ending effect for notifying the end of the big hit gaming state is executed has elapsed. When such setting is performed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "0". In the big hit end process, the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit is read out, and the big hit type is "non-probable big hit", "probably big hit A", or "positively big hit B" Identify. Then, if it is determined that the identified jackpot type is not "non-probable variation big hit", setting (setting of a probability variation flag) for starting the probability variation control is performed. In addition, when the specified big hit type is “non-probable variation big hit”, the setting for starting the time reduction control (preset corresponding to the upper limit value of the special figure game executable during the setting of the time reduction flag and time reduction control) A predetermined count initial value ("100" in this embodiment) is set in the time reduction counter.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, when the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the effect control main process shown in FIG. In the effect control main processing, first, initialization processing is performed to clear the RAM area, set various initial values, and initialize the timer for determining the start interval (for example, 2 ms) of effect control (S51) ). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to loop processing for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When a timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag by timer interrupt processing. If the timer interruption flag is set (on) in the main processing, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53), and executes the following processing.

  The effect control CPU 120 first performs command analysis processing (S54). In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 3) the command transmitted from the main substrate 11 stored in the reception command buffer is. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received in an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal, and is stored in the buffer area formed in the RAM. And the process etc. which set the flag according to the received presentation control command are performed. Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process, among the processes corresponding to the control state, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected to execute display control of the effect display device 5. Next, an effect random number updating process for updating the count value of a counter for generating effect random numbers such as a jackpot symbol determination random number is executed (S56), and then the process proceeds to S52.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S55) of the effect control main process. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first causes the pending storage display in the first pending storage display area 5D and the second pending storage display area 5U of the effect display device 5 to correspond to the storage content of the pending storage buffer. A pending display update process for updating the display is executed (S72). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 performs one of the processes in S73 to S79 in accordance with the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is performed.

  Fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73): It is confirmed whether a fluctuation pattern designation command is received from the game control microcomputer 100 or not. Specifically, it is checked in the command analysis process whether or not the fluctuation pattern designation command has been received. If the fluctuation pattern designation command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation start process (S74). Effect pattern fluctuation start process (S74): Control is performed so that the change of effect pattern is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol process (S75). During the effect symbol fluctuation process (S75): While controlling the switching timing and the like of each fluctuation state (the fluctuation speed) constituting the fluctuation pattern, the end of the fluctuation time is monitored. Then, when the fluctuation time is over, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation stop process (S76). Effect pattern fluctuation stop process (S76): Based on the fact that the effect control command (pattern confirmation command) instructing all symbol stop is received, the fluctuation of the effect pattern is stopped and the control to derive and display the display result (stop pattern) Do. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit display process (S77) or the fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  Big hit display process (S77): As shown in FIG. 19 to FIG. 21, after the end of the fluctuation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of a big hit. Further, in the effect display device 5, an instruction to make the game ball enter the clavne unit 210 by displaying the game ball to the player is displayed, and the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 are according to the big hit type. Turn on in the same color. Then, when the jackpot type is “probably big hit B” or “non-prone big hit”, the gaming ball rolling on the upper surface of the disk member 270 based on the fact that the gaming ball has entered the inside of the crew unit 210. A strobe effect of repeatedly flashing the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 is executed, and finally the area LED corresponding to the through hole where the gaming ball has entered is turned on. If the jackpot type is "probably big hit A", the number of rounds will be reached even if the gaming ball enters any of the through holes for the first region through hole 221 'to the fourth region through hole 224'. Because it is decided to be 16 rounds, it does not perform stroboscopic rendition. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the processing during the big hit game (S78).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 22A to FIG. 22C, any of the first region through hole 221 ′ to the fourth region through hole 224 ′ after the game ball enters into the clune unit 210. The effect control CPU 120 executes the strobe effect until the game controller 120 enters into the space, so that the clown unit 210 repeatedly makes the gaming ball in the clan unit 210 difficult to see from the player and in a visible state. Change. In this manner, by repeatedly causing the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 to blink in stroboscopic effects, it becomes possible to allow the player to visually recognize the gaming ball in the crew unit 210 as if by stroboscopic effects. It becomes possible to make the player pay attention to which one of the first area through hole 221 ′ to the fourth area through hole 224 ′ the gaming ball enters.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 23A and 23B, when the big hit type is “non-probable variation big hit”, the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 have a big hit type of “probably big hit B”. It blinks in a cycle L2 longer than the cycle L1 in a given case. By doing this, the player determines whether the gaming ball has entered one of the first region through hole 221 ′ and the fourth region through hole 224 ′ in a state in which it is difficult to visually check the inside of the clone unit 210. Because it becomes difficult to do so, the player can be made to pay attention to the clone unit 210 during the period until the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 light up next. In the present embodiment, the flashing cycle of the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 in the strobe effect is different depending on whether the big hit type is “probable variation big hit B” or “non-probable variation big hit”. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the strobe effect, the first area LED 281 to 1 in the case where the big hit type is “probably big hit B” and “non-probable big hit”. The fourth area LED 284 may blink in the same cycle, or the first area LED 281 to the fourth at different rates depending on whether the big hit type is “probable big hit B” or “non-probable big hit”. The blinking cycle of the area LED 284 may be determined from L1 and L2. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the strobe effect is not performed when the big hit type is “probably variable big hit A”, and the strobe effect is performed when the hit type is “probable big hit B” or “non-probable variable big hit”. Although the form is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the strobe effect may be performed regardless of the type of jackpot.

  During the big hit game processing (S78): Control during the big hit game. For example, when a special winning opening open designation command or a special winning opening open designation command is received, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 5 is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit end effect processing (S79). Big hit end effect processing (S79): In the effect display device 5, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit gaming state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  Next, the effect mode of the effect display device 5 and the clone unit 210 at the time of execution of the strobe effect will be described based on FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 24 (A) and FIG. 24 (B), when the rendering pattern is derived and displayed in a combination showing a big hit (in the present embodiment, a probability variation big hit B in this embodiment), the variation display result is big hit in the effect display device 5 And a command to the player to launch the game ball toward the cruise unit 210 are displayed. At this time, in the lone unit 210, the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 are lit in a color according to the big hit type (in the present embodiment, the big hit type is “probable big hit B”, so the first area LED 281 and The third area LED 283 turns red, and the second area LED 282 and the fourth area LED 284 turn blue. Furthermore, at this time, the CPU 103 drives the solenoid 83 to change the restricting member 230 to the permitted state, and thereby the gaming unit can enter the gaming unit.

  Next, in the lone unit 210, when one game ball enters the lone unit 210, the CPU 103 drives the solenoid 83 to change the restricting member 230 into the restricted state, so that the game ball can not enter. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24C, FIG. 25D, and FIG. 25E, after one game ball enters into the clone unit 210, the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 are lit. By repeatedly turning off and on (flashing), as shown in FIG. 22, the gaming ball can be visually recognized from the player by frame advance by the strobe effect. Then, as shown in FIG. 25 (F) and FIG. 26 (G), when the game ball enters any of the first area through hole 221 'to the fourth area through hole 224', the game ball is newly entered. The area LED corresponding to the through hole emits light in a color according to the big hit type, and notifies the number of rounds in the big hit game (in this embodiment, the game ball has entered the first area through hole 221 ' The first area LED 281 emits red light to notify that the number of rounds in the big hit game is 16 rounds, based on the fact that the big hit type is “probable big hit B”. Thereafter, the determined number of rounds of jackpots is executed.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the strobe effect is repeatedly performed by repeatedly turning on and off the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 on the gaming ball rolling on the upper surface of the disc member 270. Thus, the player can be made to pay attention to the strobe effect, so that the fun of the game can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, as the luminance change effect for changing the luminance of the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284, the lighting and extinguishing of the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 (non-emission state in the present invention) is repeated ( Although the embodiment in which the flash effect is performed is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the flash effect is the brightness of the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 as the first brightness and the first brightness. The effect of repeatedly changing to the second luminance which is lower than the luminance, that is, the effect of changing the luminance without turning off the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 may be used.

  As a strobe effect, as shown in FIG. 23, the game ball which rolls the upper surface of the disk member 270 by repeating lighting and extinguishing of the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 in a cycle of L1 or L2. Can be intermittently viewed by the player, so that the strobe effect by the lighting and extinguishing of the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 can be enhanced, and the game interest can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, as the strobe effect, a mode in which the lighting and extinguishing of the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 is repeated in the cycle of L1 or L2 is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. By changing the cycle of repeating lighting and extinguishing of the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 at random, the period in which the player can easily view the gaming ball rolling on the upper surface of the disk member 270 is changed. You may improve the game interest in presentation.

  Further, the cover member 220 in the present embodiment is configured such that light incident toward the inner space side of the cruise unit 210 covered by the cover member 220 from the player side which is the outer side of the cover member 220 is Since it functions as a half mirror that reflects at a higher reflectance than light incident from the space side toward the player side that is outside the cover member 220, when the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 are extinguished Since it is possible to prevent the game ball rolling on the disc member 270 from being visually recognized by the light incident from the outside of the cover member 220, the strobe effect is reduced by the light incident from the outside of the cover member 220. It is possible to prevent the decrease in the effect of the strobe effect.

  In addition, the strobe effect is started by the game ball entering into the clune unit 210, and is ended by the game ball entering any of the first region through-hole 221 'to the fourth region through-hole 224'. As a result, the strobe effect is executed during a period in which the gaming ball is rolling on the upper surface of the disk member 270, so that the player's attention to the strobe effect can be increased.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, the heat of the drive motor 260 is favorably transmitted to the heat sink 265 via the heat conductive sheet 264, so that the temperature rise of the drive motor 260 can be favorably suppressed.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Be

  For example, in the above embodiment, the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 are embedded in the disc member 270 so that the game ball rolling on the upper surface of the disc member 270 can be illuminated. The present invention is not limited to this, and the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 may be provided at any position as long as it can illuminate the gaming ball rolling on the upper surface of the disk member 270. . However, in consideration of the fact that the cover member 220 functions as a half mirror, it is desirable that the positions where the first area LED 281 to the fourth area LED 284 are provided be within the clune unit 210.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the embodiment is illustrated in which the strobe effect is performed on the game ball rolling on the upper surface of the disk member 270 in the lone unit 210, but the present invention is not limited thereto The strobe effect may be performed on the game balls rolling on the guide path 202, the discharge path 203, and the like. That is, as long as it has a rolling surface on which the game ball rolls, the strobe effect may be performed at any location.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in the big hit game according to which through hole of the first area through hole 221 'to the fourth area through hole 224' formed in the clavne unit 210 the game ball has entered. Although the form which determines the number of rounds was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, Any of 1st area | region through-opening 221 '-4th area | region through-opening 224' formed in the lone unit 210 Depending on whether the game ball has entered the through hole, whether or not to execute the probability change control or the time reduction control after the big hit game is over, the number of fluctuations to execute the probability change control or the time reduction control may be determined.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in the big hit game according to which through hole of the first area through hole 221 'to the fourth area through hole 224' formed in the clavne unit 210 the game ball has entered.
