The power supply substrate of the power supply substrate case is provided with an AC connector for connecting a power supply cord and a power supply connector for supplying power to each substrate in the peripheral portion. However, conventionally, since the power supply substrate case and the delivery control substrate case are disposed on the left and right, there is a problem that the arrangement efficiency of the power supply substrate case and the delivery control substrate case is deteriorated.
Therefore, by arranging the power supply substrate case and the delivery control substrate case so as to overlap back and forth, with the power supply substrate case with low attachment and detachment frequency on the front side and the delivery control substrate case with high attachment and detachment frequency on the rear side. It is considered to make the arrangement more efficient.
In this case, since the AC connector needs to stably maintain the connection state of the long power cord, the amount of insertion of the male connector and the female connector is very large, and the amount of protrusion from the power supply substrate is for other power supply The power supply cord connected to the AC connector is much larger than the power supply harness connected to another power supply connector and is difficult to bend.
Therefore, if the AC connector is arranged at the part corresponding to the delivery control board case of the power supply board, is the power supply cord connected to the AC connector compressed by the delivery control board case if the height of the power supply board case is low? There are problems such as difficulty in attaching and detaching the AC connector.
On the other hand, the delivery control board case is connected to the power supply board case with a plurality of AC connectors for feeding, so that the AC connector on the power board side and the plurality of connectors for feeding do not all overlap with the delivery control board case. If the connector is disposed on the opposite side of the connector, the power supply substrate case and the delivery control substrate case are largely displaced in the vertical and / or lateral directions, and the arrangement efficiency of the both is deteriorated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of such conventional problems, the present invention provides a gaming machine capable of preventing compression of a power cord by a payout control board case while improving the arrangement of the power supply board case and the payout control board case.

The attachment portion 170 can abut on the back surface of at least one of the attachment portion 173 and the engagement object 174. The engaging body 171 and the operating body 172 of the latch means 168 are substantially the same as the latch means 80 and the like on the effect control board case 65 side.

  The engaged member 174 has a cylindrical portion 174b in which the mounting hole 174a is formed, and a mounting convex portion 174c integrally formed on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 174b. The mounting convex portion 174c is a fixed member such as a screw It is detachably fixed to the mounting portion 173 of the front frame 3 by means 175.

  In the vicinity of the latch means 168, a bulging portion 85a is disposed which bulges to the rear of the back cover 85 via the rising portion 170a, but the upper and lower sides and the opposite side to the bulging portion 85a are open around the latch means 168 The open part is the operation space. Therefore, the latch means 168 can pick the operating body 172 from the upper and lower sides along the rising portion 170a.

  The lower latch means 169, as shown in FIGS. 27-29, is inserted into the engaging body 177 disposed on the lower attached mounting portion 176 of the back cover 85 and the engaging body 177 so as to be able to push and pull. The mounting portion 179 of the front frame 3 includes an engaged body 180 with which the engaging body 177 can be engaged with the mounting hole 180a from the inner peripheral side.

The engaging body 177 and the operating body 178 of the latch means 169 are substantially the same as the latch means 80 and the like on the side of the effect control board case 65.

  The engaged body 180 is the same as the upper engaged body 174, and has a cylindrical portion 180b in which the mounting hole 180a is formed, and a mounting convex portion 180c integrally formed on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 180b. Have. The mounting convex portion 180c is detachably fixed to the mounting portion 179 of the front frame 3 by fixing means 180d such as a screw.

  In the vicinity of the latch means 169, a bulge portion 85a which is bulged to the rear of the back cover 85 via a rising portion 179a having a substantially semicircular shape in a rear view is disposed. Between the rising portion 179a and the latch means 169, an operation space required to pick the operation body 178 from both the upper and lower sides or both the left and right sides is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 26 and FIG. 28, when the operation bodies 172 and 178 are at the push-in position A, the rear ends of the operation bodies 172 and 178 expand at the back cover 85 side expanded portion 85a. When the operation bodies 172 and 178 are at the pulling out position B, the rear end of the operation bodies 172 and 178 has a height slightly projecting from the back surface of the expansion portion 85 a.

  As described above, when the operation bodies 172 and 178 of the latch means 168 and 169 are at the push-in position A, the operation bodies 172 and 178 are pushed in if the rear ends thereof have substantially the same height as the back surface of the expansion portion 85a. Also in the position A, it can be easily operated to the pulling out position B. In addition, when the operation body 172, 178 is at the pulling out position B, if the rear end is slightly protruded from the back surface of the swelling portion 85a, the operation body 172, 178 is less likely to interfere with the other There is an advantage that the pressing operation to A can also be facilitated.

  As with the latch means 80 for the effect control board case 65, the upper and lower latch means 168 and 169 have their rear ends closer to the rear surface of the bulge portion 85a when the operation bodies 172 and 178 are at the push-in position A. When the operation members 172 and 178 are at the pulling out position B, the rear end may be substantially at the same height as the back surface of the swelling portion 80a. The same applies to the latch means 81 for the liquid crystal control substrate case 66 and the latch means 82 for the main control substrate case 67.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a large number of heat dissipation holes (cover heat dissipation holes) 185 are formed on the upper side of the back cover 85 at predetermined intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions. Each of the heat radiation holes 185 is formed in a long elongated hole shape in the left-right direction while the heat radiation holes 102, 102 of the effect control substrate case 65 and the liquid crystal control substrate case 66 are round holes. The opening width of the heat dissipation hole 185 in the vertical direction is larger than the diameter of the heat dissipation holes 102, 102, and the opening amount of the heat dissipation hole 185 is larger than the heat dissipation holes 102, 102.

  The heat release hole 185 of the back cover 85 corresponds to the back side of the effect control board case 65 and the liquid crystal control board case 66 so that the lower part from the lower side of the back side lower part of the effect control board case 65 and the liquid crystal control board case 66 In the upper region 186 of the back cover 85.

  A heat dissipation hole area (cover heat dissipation hole area) w1 in which the heat dissipation hole 185 is formed in the back cover 85, and a heat dissipation hole area (case heat dissipation hole area) w2 in which the heat dissipation hole 102 is formed in the effect control substrate case 65 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the upper end side of the heat dissipation hole area w1 of the back cover 85 is positioned above the upper end side of the heat dissipation hole area w2 of the effect control board case 65, and the heat release of the effect control board case 65 The lower end side of the hole area w2 is located lower than the lower end side of the heat release hole area w1 of the back cover 85.

  Thus, if the heat release hole area w1 is provided in the upper area 186 of the back cover 85 and the opening amount of the heat release hole 185 in the heat release hole area w1 is increased, the internal substrates 86 to 88, 95, 98 The heat from the electronic component 137, the liquid crystal display means 22, etc. can be dissipated easily and quickly.

  The heat dissipation hole area w1 of the back cover 85 and the heat dissipation hole area w2 of the effect control board case 65 may be at least partially overlapped. In this case, the heat dissipation hole area w1 of the back cover 85 is the effect control board case 65 It is desirable to be located above the heat radiation hole area w2 of When the heat release hole area w1 of the back cover 85 is located above the heat release hole area w2 of the effect control substrate case 65, both heat release hole areas w1 and w2 may not overlap at all. The same applies to the relationship between the heat radiation hole 185 of the back cover 85 and the heat radiation hole 103 on the liquid crystal control substrate case 66 side.

  Of the back cover 85, a harness 163 connecting the effect control board 87 and the main control board 86, a harness 164 connecting the effect control board 87 and the liquid crystal control board 88, a power supply board 95 and each board 86-88, 95, A portion corresponding to the harness for connecting 98 and the harness 166 for connecting the main control board 86 and the delivery control board 98 is a non-porous area 187 having no heat dissipation hole. The lower side of the back cover 85 is open.

  Therefore, while the lower surface of the back cover 85 is the non-porous area 187 without any heat radiation holes 185, a large number of heat radiation holes 185 are concentrated in the upper region 186 and the lower side of the back cover 85 is open. An upward flow in which the hot air rises in the back cover 85 is easily generated, and the heat dissipation from the heat radiation holes 185 of the back cover 85 can be improved.

  Further, the back cover 85 covers the back side of the portion where there are a large number of harnesses 163, 164, 166 connecting the respective board cases 65 to 67, 69, 70 with the non-porous area 187, so the back side of the entire pachinko machine 1 is You can finish it clearly. Although the non-perforated area 187 is provided on the lower side of the back cover 85, it is also possible to disperse a smaller number of heat radiation holes on the lower side of the back cover 85 than the upper side.

  In the back cover 85, the substantially entire area below the bottom of the rear side of the effect control board case 65 and the back side of the liquid crystal control board case 66 is a non-porous area 187. Therefore, the position overlapping with the main control board case 67, the position overlapping with the wiring path of the harness 163, 164, 166 connecting the main control board 86 and the sub board such as the rendering control board 87, the main control board 86 and the rendering control board 87 etc. The positions overlapping with the connectors of the harnesses 163, 164 and 166 connecting to the sub-boards of the above correspond to the non-porous area 187 of the back cover 85, and the heat dissipation holes 185 are provided in that part of the back cover 85. It is not done. Further, the heat dissipation hole 185 is not provided in the back cover 85 also at a position overlapping the main control plate case 67 and the effect control board case (sub board case) 65.

  The back cover 85 is provided with a viewing window 134 corresponding to the history seal 132 of the main control board case 67, and the back cover 85 covers substantially the entire area of the main control board case 67 except the area corresponding to the history seal 132. ing. Therefore, even when the back cover 85 is closed, it is possible to easily check the indication on the history seal 132 through the viewing window 134. The back cover 85 may cover at least the upper portion of the main control board case 67.

  The heat dissipation holes 102 of the effect control board case 65 are round holes of small diameter as shown in FIG. 30, and the heat radiation holes 102 of small diameter round hole are vertically spaced at approximately equal pitch (first predetermined interval) p1. A large number is arranged in a zigzag at substantially equal pitches (first predetermined intervals) p2 in the left-right direction. The heat dissipation holes 102 of the effect control board case 65 may have a shape other than a round shape, or may be arranged at substantially equal pitches p1 and p2 in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 30, the heat dissipation holes 185 of the back cover 85 have a vertical width substantially corresponding to the heat dissipation holes 102 of the upper and lower two rows of the effect control board case 65 and several left and right effect control board cases 65 It has a long hole shape having a left-right length substantially corresponding to five to seven heat radiation holes 102, and a substantially equal pitch in the left-right direction at a substantially equal pitch (second predetermined interval) p3 in the vertical direction. 2) The predetermined intervals p4 are arranged respectively. The pitches p1 and p2 of the heat radiation holes 102 and the pitches p3 and p4 of the heat radiation holes 185 are different, and the pitches p1 and p2 of the heat radiation holes 102 having a small opening area are small, and the pitches p3 and p4 of the heat radiation holes 185 having a large opening area It is getting bigger.

  Therefore, between the heat dissipation hole 102 on the side of the effect control board case 65 and the heat dissipation hole 185 on the back cover 85 side, there is a portion where both do not overlap with each other in the front and back. It is possible to make the overlapping manner of 185 different. As a result, it is possible to prevent as much as possible the fraudulent acts performed by inserting the fraudulent member into the effect control board case 65 through the heat radiation holes 102 and 185.

  As shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, a control chip 189 such as a control IC is attached to the effect control board 87 in the effect control board case 65. The control chip 189 includes a main body portion 189a formed in a rectangular shape or other flat shape, and a terminal group 189b disposed on both sides of the main body portion 189a, and a large number of terminals are arranged in a row in the terminal group 189b. It is arranged.

  The control chip 189 is mounted on the effect control board 87 such that the terminal group 189b is released from the overlapping portion of the heat dissipation hole 102 of the effect control board case 65 and the heat dissipation hole 185 of the back cover 85. That is, at least the arrangement areas x1 and x2 of the terminal group 189b of the control chip 189 are arranged at a position out of the overlapping portion of the heat release holes 102 and 185 of the effect control board case 65 and the back cover 85.

  By thus separating the terminal groups 189b on both sides of the control chip 189 from the overlapping portions of the heat release holes 102 and 185 of the effect control substrate case 65 and the back cover 85, the heat release holes 185 are passed from the back side of the back cover 85. An unauthorized member can be inserted to prevent fraudulent acts such as tampering with a part of the terminal group 189b as much as possible. Further, since the terminal group 189b of the control chip 189 may be removed from the overlapping portion of the heat release holes 102 and 185 of the effect control board case 65 and the back cover 85, selection of the arrangement position of the control chip 189 on the effect control board 87 is also It can be done relatively easily.

  In the case of a control chip 189 in which unauthorized work on the main body portion 189a is a problem, the entire control chip 189 including the main body portion 189a and the terminal group 189b is the heat radiation holes 102 and 185 of the effect control board case 65 and the back cover 85. You may arrange | position so that it may remove | deviate from an overlap part. The control chip 189 may be disposed so that at least the terminal group 189b of the main body portion 189a and the terminal group 189b is separated from the overlapping portion of the heat radiation holes 102 and 185.

  In this embodiment, the overlapping portion of the heat release holes 102 and 185 of the effect control board case 65 and the back cover 85 is exemplified, but as can be understood from the description of FIG. 5, the liquid crystal control board case 66 and the back cover 85 The same applies to the overlapping portion of the heat radiation holes 103 and 185.

  In the case where the main control board case 67 has the heat dissipation holes 104 and the back cover 85 has the heat dissipation holes 185 corresponding to the arrangement area of the heat dissipation holes 104, the arrangement area of the heat dissipation holes 105 of the power supply substrate case 69 In the case where the back cover 85 has the heat radiation holes 185, the embodiment can be implemented similarly even when the heat radiation holes 185 are provided in the back cover 85 corresponding to the arrangement area of the heat radiation holes 106 of the payout control substrate case 70. Furthermore, in the case of various electronic parts 137 in which illegal work poses a problem other than the control chip 189, the present invention can be similarly implemented.

  32-35 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 32, the back cover 85 of this embodiment has a size that covers the entire range excluding the lower side of the main control board case 67 from the lower vicinity of the ball tank 38 and the tank rail 39, The pair of upper and lower hinges 167 disposed in the vicinity of the dispensing means 40 and the pair of upper and lower latch means 168 disposed on the opposite side thereof are detachably attached to the back of the front frame 3 in an open / close manner.

On the back side of the back cover 85, there are a large number of heat radiation holes 185 vertically and horizontally from the lower end side to the upper side of the effect control board case 65 and the liquid crystal control board case 66. Is formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 32 to 34, the heat radiation holes 185 are formed in the shape of long holes in the vertical direction along the longitudinal direction of the back cover 85, and the heat radiation holes 185 include the effect control board case 65 and the liquid crystal There are a first cover heat radiation hole 185a overlapping the heat radiation holes 102 and 103 of the control substrate case 66, and a second cover heat radiation hole 185b not overlapping the heat radiation holes 102 and 103 of the effect control substrate case 65 and the liquid crystal control substrate case 66.

  The first cover heat dissipation holes 185a formed on the back surface side of the back cover 85 are both on the upper and lower sides than the heat dissipation hole area w2 in which the heat dissipation holes 102 and 103 are formed on the back surface side of the effect control substrate case 65 and the liquid crystal control substrate case 66. It is arrange | positioned over the heat dissipation hole area | region w1 which spreads over. The lower end side of the heat release hole area w1 of the first cover heat release hole 185a may be substantially the same as the lower end side of the heat release hole area w2 of the heat release holes 102 and 103, or the lower end side of the heat release hole area w2 May be

  In the heat dissipation hole area w1, a plurality of heat dissipation hole rows, in which a plurality of first cover heat dissipation holes 185a are arranged in a single vertical row at a substantially equal pitch, are arranged at a substantially equal pitch in the lateral direction. The heat radiation hole row to be set is shifted approximately half pitch up and down. Therefore, the first cover heat radiation holes 185 a are arranged on the back surface side of the back cover 85 in a staggered manner in the vertical direction.

  The second cover heat radiation hole 185 b is formed in a long hole shape extending over the rear surface side and the upper surface side of the back cover 85 above the effect control substrate case 65 and the liquid crystal control substrate case 66. The pitch in the left-right direction of the second cover heat radiation holes 185b is substantially the same as that of the first cover heat radiation holes 185a, but may be larger or smaller than the pitch of the first cover heat radiation holes 185a. .

  Although the opening width y1 in the left-right direction of the first cover heat radiation hole 185a and the opening width y2 in the left-right direction of the second cover heat radiation hole 185b are different, the opening width y2 of the second cover heat radiation hole 185b located on the upper side is large. On the other hand, the opening width y1 of the first cover heat radiation hole 185a located below it is smaller. The diameter (opening width in the left-right direction) of the effect control board case 65 and the heat dissipation holes 102 and 103 of the liquid crystal control board case 66 is substantially the same as the opening width y1 of the first cover heat releasing hole 185a or more than the opening width y1. It is getting smaller.

  A lower end portion of the second cover heat radiation hole 185 b is positioned on a straight line in the left-right direction in the vicinity of the upper side of the effect control substrate case 65 and the liquid crystal control substrate case 66, and is formed straddling the upper surface side therefrom. On the other hand, since the upper surface side of the back cover 85 is inclined along the bottom wall portions 38a and 39a of the ball tank 38 and the tank rail 39, the second cover is from the upper side to the lower side of the ball tank 38 and the tank rail 39. The length in the vertical direction of the back surface side of the heat radiation hole 185b is sequentially shortened.

  Although the opening area of the second cover heat radiation hole 185b is larger than that of the entire first cover heat radiation hole 185a, only the portion of the entire second cover heat radiation hole 185b that has a large vertical length on the back side The opening amount of may be increased. In addition, an arbitrary part of the opening amount may be increased.

  In this way, the heat in the back cover 85 can be dissipated quickly to the outside through the first cover heat radiation hole 185a on the back surface side and the second cover heat radiation hole 185b on the top surface side. At this time, the heat in the back cover 85 can be efficiently dissipated to the upper side by enlarging the lateral width y2 of the second cover heat radiation hole 185b. Even if the second cover heat release hole 185b is enlarged, the effect control board case 65 and the heat release holes 102 and 103 of the liquid crystal control board case 66 do not correspond, so the internal effect is generated through the heat release hole 185b. There is no risk that the control board 87 and the liquid crystal control board 88 will be tampered with.

  On the other hand, the first cover heat radiation hole 185a disposed on the back surface side of the back cover 85 corresponding to the effect control substrate case 65 and the heat radiation holes 102 and 103 of the liquid crystal control substrate case 66 is more than the second cover heat radiation hole 185b. Since the left-right width y1 is small, the illegal operation performed on the effect control board 87 and the liquid crystal control board 88 through the effect control board case 65 and the heat dissipation holes 102 and 103 of the liquid crystal control board case 66 from the first cover heat dissipation hole 185a. Can also be reduced.

  The setting display means (first display means) 215 displays setting information indicating which one of the settings 1 to 6 is selected, and, for example, “1” to “6” corresponding to the settings 1 to 6, Any of “1.” to “6.” can be displayed, for example, on the 7-segment LED 214a of the 4-digit performance information display means 214. For example, the setting information before confirmation is added with dots during the setting change period. The setting information determined during the setting confirmation period can be displayed as "1" to "6" with no dot in "1." to "6."

  The performance display means (second display means) 216 displays a so-called base value on the 7-segment LEDs 214a to 214d. The base value is an example of the performance information obtained based on the game result, and is calculated, for example, by “(the number of payouts in the low probability state / the number of outs in the low probability state) × 100”. The performance display means 216 of this embodiment can switch and display two types of base values, ie, the first base value and the second base value. The first base value is a base value in real time during the unit period from the predetermined time until the number of outs reaches the predetermined number (for example, 60000) as the unit period, and the second base value is the total value in the previous unit period Is the base value of Of course, three or more types of base values may be switchable, for example, by displaying the cumulative base value in the unit time of the last two times as the third base value.

  As described above, the game information clear means 162, the setting change operation means 213, and the performance information display means 214 (the setting display means 215 and the performance display means 216) are all disposed behind the pachinko machine 1, and In order to gain access to the player, it is necessary to unlock and open the front frame 3. Therefore, the player can not operate the game information clear means 162 and the setting change operation means 213, and the performance information display means 214 The display contents of the setting display means 215 and the performance display means 216 can not be viewed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the game information display means 211 (FIG. 53) is arranged outside the game area 20 in the game board 16, for example, in a viewable manner from the front side of the pachinko machine 1. A normal symbol display means 29, a special symbol display means 30, a normal hold number display means 31, a special hold number display means 33 and the like are provided.

  The game information display means 211 is display means which is directly controlled by the main control board (main control means) 86 without the intervention of the effect control board (effect control means) 87, and comprises, for example, eight LEDs 212 For example, four LED groups are provided, and a total of 32 LEDs 212 are a plurality of types of displays including a normal symbol display means 29, a special symbol display means 30, a normal hold number display means 31, and a special hold number display means 33. A predetermined number of units are allocated to the means. In the present embodiment, eight LEDs 212 belonging to the first LED group 211a constitute the special symbol display means 30, and, for example, two of the eight LEDs 212 belonging to the third LED group 211c are normally reserved number display means 31, others 2 constitute the special hold number display means 33, and, for example, 2 out of the 8 LEDs 212 belonging to the fourth LED group 211d constitute the normal symbol display means 29. The assignment of the other LEDs 212 is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, drive control is performed on the game information display unit 211 and the performance information display unit 214 by a dynamic lighting method. As shown in FIG. 54, the 1-byte dynamic lighting common C0 to C7 scanning signals can be output from the LED common port of the main control board 86, and among them, the dynamic lighting common C0 to C3 lines are game information The lines of the dynamic lighting commons C4 to C7 are connected to the LED groups 211a to 211d of the display unit 211, respectively, to the 7-segment display units 214a to 214d of the performance information display unit 214.

  The LED data ports 1 and 2 of the main control board 86 can output 1-byte dynamic lighting data D10 to D17 and D20 to D27 respectively, and the line of the dynamic lighting data D10 to D17 of the LED data port 1 is a game The lines of dynamic lighting data D20 to D27 of the LED data port 2 are connected to the LED groups 211a to 211d of the information display means 211, respectively, to the 7-segment display portions 214a to 214d of the performance information display means 214.

  Subsequently, a power on process (FIG. 55) executed on the main control board 86 at the time of power on will be described. In this power on process (FIG. 55), the interrupt is inhibited first so that interrupt process such as timer interrupt is not executed (S1), and the stack pointer is set (S2), and for use in stack in the first power failure check process. In preparation, the protected and prohibited areas of the RAM are invalidated (S3). And regarding the display of the setting information on the setting display unit 215 while turning off the security signal output from the external output terminal in consideration of the possibility that the power is turned off / on during the setting change processing described later. The setting display data is cleared, and the release permission signal is also turned OFF to prevent the output of the careless release permission signal (S4).

  Subsequently, the first power supply abnormality check process (S5) is executed. In this first power supply abnormality check processing, as shown in FIG. 58, after executing the WDT clear processing (S51a), it is judged whether or not the power supply abnormality signal is ON (S51), and the power supply abnormality signal is ON. If there is (S51: Yes), the process proceeds to the beginning of the power-on process (S1 in FIG. 55).

  If it is determined in the first power supply abnormality check process (S5) that the power supply abnormality signal is not ON (S51 in FIG. 58: No), the process proceeds to S6 in FIG. In S6, while performing various initial settings regarding the register value etc. in the CPU, the interrupt mode, interrupt priority, internal hard random number etc. are set. Then, the sub-substrate start wait time is set (S7), and the sub-substrate start wait time is subtracted (S8), and the WDT clear process (S9) and S5 are performed until the sub-substrate start wait time becomes 0 (S11). The first power source abnormality check process (S10, FIG. 58) is repeatedly executed.

  When the sub substrate start waiting time reaches 0 (S11: Yes), a standby screen display command (BA01H) is transmitted to the effect control substrate 87 (S12). When the effect control board 87 receives the standby screen display command (BA01H), for example, a display such as "Please Wait" is displayed on the liquid crystal display means 22, but the illumination means provided on the front frame 3 etc. No sound such as BGM is output from the speaker 46 (silence), and the movable effect means disposed on the game board 16 or the like is maintained at, for example, the origin position (no change).

  Then, until it is determined that the power on signal is on (S14: Yes), it is determined whether the power on signal of the payout control board 98 is on (S14), the first power failure check process (S13) , 58) are repeatedly performed to check the start of the payout control board 98.

  Then, it transfers to the process (1st process) of S15-S24 shown in FIG. In the processes of S15 to S24, "setting change" which executes setting change processing (S17) and RAM clear processing (S18), and RAM clear processing (S18) without executing setting change processing (S17) "Clear RAM", "setting confirmation" that executes setting confirmation processing (S23) and backup restoration processing (S24), "backup restoration" that executes backup restoration processing (S24) without executing setting confirmation processing (S23), It is performed in any of the five processing modes of "RAM abnormality" for executing the power reactivation wait process (S20).

  Further, among the five types of processing modes, for the four types except “RAM abnormality”, the setting change operation means 213 is ON / OFF, the front frame 3 (door) is open / closed, game information clear means 162 It is selected according to the combination of the ON / OFF state of. The pachinko machine of the present embodiment is provided with a door opening switch (not shown) capable of detecting whether or not the front frame 3 is open to the outer frame 2, and based on a detection signal of this door opening switch. The open / close state of the front frame 3 can be determined.

  The processes of S15 to S24 will be described in detail according to the source program shown in FIG. 59, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 59, the source programs of S15 to S24 are described in the order of storage on the memory. In addition, on the right side of the source program, the processing to be executed for each of the five processing modes described above, “setting change”, “RAM clear”, “setting check”, “backup return”, and “RAM abnormality” The order of execution is indicated by an arrow and its upper right number.

  In the input port data acquisition process (S15), as shown in FIG. 59, first, the data of the input port 1 (P_INPT1) is input to the W register (Sa1). In this embodiment, the input signal corresponding to the 0th to 7th bits of the input port 1 (P_INPT1) is as shown in FIG. 60, and the ON / OFF signal of the setting change operation means 213 is the 0th bit and the door The open switch ON / OFF signal (door open signal) is input to the fifth bit, and the ON / OFF signal of the game information clear means 162 is input to the sixth bit. In Sa1, the 0th to 7th bits of data of the input port 1 (P_INPT1) are input to the 0th to 7th bits of the W register, respectively.

  Next, the logical product (AND) of the value of the W register and the mask data "01100001B" is obtained, and the 0th bit corresponding to the ON / OFF signal of the setting change operation means 213, the ON / OFF signal of the door open switch The fifth bit corresponding to the (door open signal) and the bits other than the sixth bit corresponding to the ON / OFF signal of the game information clear means 162 are masked, and the W register is updated with the data after the masking (Sa2).

  As shown in FIG. 61, the 0th bit of the W register becomes 1 when the setting change operation means 213 is ON, and becomes 0 when it is OFF, and the 5th bit similarly opens the door (front frame 3). 1 when the game information is closed, 0 when it is closed, and the 6th bit is 1 when the game information clear means 162 is ON and 0 when it is OFF. There are eight combinations of the 0th, 5th and 6th bits of the W register shown in FIG. In the following description, a combination of the 0, 5, and 6 bit values w0, w5, and w6 of the W register is expressed as W (w0, w5, w6) as necessary.

  Subsequent to the above input port data acquisition process (S15), a setting change branch determination process (S16) is executed. In this setting change branch determination process (S16), it is determined whether or not "setting change" is selected as the processing mode. As shown in FIG. 59, first, the value of the W register is compared with "01100001B". The difference between them is determined (Sb1). When the 0th, 5th and 6th bits of the W register are all 1 (= W (1, 1, 1)), that is, the door (front frame 3) is opened, the setting change operation means 213 is obtained. And 0 when both the game information clear means 162 are ON. If the obtained value (difference) is 0, for example, 1 is set to the zero flag. Then, if the value obtained in Sb1 is 0 (zero flag = 1), that is, W (1, 1, 1), “setting change” is selected as the processing mode, and the next setting change processing (S17) Transition to) and the setting change period starts.

  In the setting change process (S17), first, BA5AH (command data under setting change) is stored in the DE register (Sc1), and the command data is transmitted by the command transmission process (Sc2). When the effect control board 87 receives the setting change command (BA5AH), for example, the liquid crystal display means 22 displays “setting change in progress” indicating that the setting change period is in progress, and The means emits light in a predetermined setting change pattern, for example, and the speaker 46 outputs a predetermined setting change sound, but the movable effect means is maintained at, for example, the origin position (no change).

  Next, a subroutine (M_SETTEI) for setting processing is executed (Sc3). In this setting process (Sc3), as shown in FIG. 62A, first, the backup flag is cleared (S60) and the input data creation process (S61) is executed. This input data creation process (S61) acquires input information such as the game information clear means 162, the setting change operation means 213, etc., and is called from, for example, the input management process (S133 in FIG. 64) in the timer interrupt process. It has become.

  Next, the setting value data is read out from the setting value work area of the RAM, and set in, for example, the C register as a setting operation value (S62). In the present embodiment, any one of settings 1 to 6 can be selected, and any one of settings 1 to 6 can be selected as a setting value work area on the RAM, for example, depending on which one of settings 1 to 6 is selected. Setting value data of is stored. Then, if the setting work value of the C register is not within the range of 0 to 5 (S63: No), for example, 0 is stored in the C register (setting work value) (S64). That is, if the set value data is not within the normal range, 0 corresponding to the setting 1 is forcibly set in the C register (set work value). Of course, the value to be set in the C register (setting work value) is not limited to 0, and may be within the normal range (0 to 5).

  Subsequently, the first power supply abnormality check process (S65, FIG. 58) is executed, and a security signal is output from the external output terminal (S66). Then, the chattering prevention waiting time is set (S67), and the chattering prevention waiting time subtraction processing (S68) is repeatedly executed until the chattering prevention waiting time becomes 0 (S69: Yes). In the present embodiment, the processing of S65 to S75 is repeated at high speed until the setting change operation means 213 is turned OFF (S76: Yes), and whether or not there is a setting change operation each time, that is, the game information clear means 162 It is determined whether or not it has been changed from OFF to ON (S71 described later). By providing the chattering prevention waiting time in S67 to S69, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to chattering of the game information clear means 162.

  When the chattering prevention waiting time reaches 0 (S69: Yes), the input data creation process (S70) is executed to determine whether a predetermined setting change operation has been performed (S71). In this embodiment, the game information clear means 162 is also used for setting change operation, and it is determined that the setting change operation has been performed when the ON edge of the game information clear means 162 is detected in S71. It has become. In the present embodiment, the input data creation processing for acquiring the input information of the game information clearing means 162 is executed not only at S70 immediately before S71 but also at S61 immediately after the start of the setting processing. This is because, if the setting process (FIG. 62 (a)) is started with the game information clear means 162 being pressed, even if the ON edge of the game information clear means 162 suddenly stands, By detecting the sky at S61, the determination at S71 is not affected.

  Then, on the condition that it is determined that the setting change operation has been performed in S71 (S71: Yes), the process of updating the setting work value (S72 to S74) is executed. That is, the setting work value is incremented (S72), and when the setting work value after increment is not within the range of 0 to 5 (S73: No), 0 is set to the setting work value (S74).

  Next, based on the setting operation value, setting display data for specifying setting information to be displayed on the setting display unit 215 is created and output (S75). The process of S75 will be specifically described according to the source program shown in FIG. 62B. First, the top address of the setting display data table is set in the HL register (S75a). The setting display data table is, as shown in FIG. 62C, composed of 1-byte display pattern data corresponding to six types of setting information of settings 1 to 6.

  Next, the set work value (see S62 to S64) stored in the C register is transferred to the A register (S75 b), and the value of the A register (the set work of the setting display data table) is set (the set work). The display pattern data is read out from the address (address corresponding to any one of setting work values 0 to 5 in the setting display data table) obtained by adding the value) and set in the W register (S75 c). Thus, for example, "00000110B" for displaying "1" when the setting operation value is 0 is displayed in the W register, and "01111101B" for displaying "6" when the setting operation value is 5. Is set.

  Then, the value of the W register is updated by obtaining the logical sum (OR) of the value of the W register and "10000000B" which is the display pattern data corresponding to ". (Dot)" (S75 d). As a result, the display pattern data set in the W register is any of “1.” to “6.” in which “. (Dot)” is added to “1” to “6”.

  Next, common data "00010000B" for turning on the common C4 (FIG. 54) corresponding to the 7-segment display portion 214a is set in the A register (S75e), and the value of the A register is set to the LED common port (FIG. 54). The value of the W register is output to the LED data port 2 (FIG. 54) (S75 f). Thus, any one of “1.” to “6.” is displayed on the setting display unit 215, ie, the 7-segment display unit 214a of the performance information display unit 214, corresponding to the setting work value (any of 0 to 5). Be done.

  As described above, in S75, since the setting display data is created based on the setting operation value, the value (for example, any one of 1 to 6) displayed on the setting display unit 215 during the setting change period is the setting information at that time. Instead of (the value of the setting value work area), provisional setting information before confirmation is shown. Further, in order to clearly show that, “. (Dot)” is added to “1” to “6” in the setting display means 215 and displayed.

  The above-described processes of S65 to S75 are repeatedly executed until the setting change end condition is satisfied (S76: Yes). In the present embodiment, when the OFF edge of the setting change operation unit 213 is detected, it is determined that the setting change end condition is satisfied. By the above processing, during the setting change period, the setting work value is cyclically changed in the range of 0 to 5 in accordance with the number of depressions of the game information clear means 162, and accordingly, “1. The display of “6” is cyclically switched.

  If the setting change end condition is satisfied during the setting change period (S76: Yes), the setting change period is ended, and the setting work value of the C register is stored in the setting value work area (S77). Thereby, the provisional setting work value changed by the operation of the game information clear means 162 during the setting change period is decided as setting value data. Then, the setting display data is cleared and the display of the setting information by the setting display unit 215 is ended (S78), and the security signal is turned OFF (S79), and the setting change completion command (BA09H) for the effect control board 87 Is sent (S80), and the setting process is ended. When the effect control board 87 receives the setting change completion command (BA09H), for example, the liquid crystal display unit 22 displays “setting has been changed” or the like indicating that the setting change period has ended, All the lighting means are turned on, the output of the setting change in progress sound outputted from the speaker 46 is finished, and the movable presentation means continues to be stopped at the home position (no change).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the setting change operation means 213 and the game information clear means 162 are both ON at the time of power on and the door is in the open state (when all the 0, 5, 6 bits of the W register are 1) While referring to the setting information (for example, any of “1.” to “6.”) displayed on the setting display unit 215 during the setting change period until the setting change operation unit 213 is switched to OFF. The setting work value can be changed in the range of settings 1 to 6 by pressing the game information clear means 162, and then the provisional setting work value is set value by switching the setting change operation means 213 to OFF. It can be determined as data.

  Referring back to FIGS. 56 and 59, the description will be continued. When the above setting change process (S17) is completed, the RAM clear process (S18) is subsequently performed. In this RAM clear process (S18), as shown in FIG. 59, first, the address of the RAM clear command transmission address table is set in the HL register (Sd1), and based on the command transmission address table, the transmission command table selection process ( Execute Sd2). As a result, the RAM clear command (BA02H), the spec command (F611H), and the customer waiting command (BA04H) are sequentially transmitted to the effect control board 87. When the effect control board 87 receives the RAM clear command (BA02H), for example, the liquid crystal display means 22 displays "RAM clear in progress" indicating that RAM clear is in progress, etc. A predetermined RAM clear sound is output from the speaker 46, but the movable presentation means 67 continues to be stopped at the home position (no change). In the liquid crystal display means 22, for example, a predetermined symbol form by the rendering symbols 32a to 32c, for example, "7.3.1" (low probability screen) is displayed after the display such as "RAM clearing" is finished. .

  Then, the address next to the setting value work is set in the HL register (Sd3), the number of times of 0 clear processing (here, 256-3) is set in the B register (Sd4), and the 0 clear processing is called (Sd5). ). In the present embodiment, a range of 0 to 255 bytes on the RAM is allocated as a work area (area RAM) in the area, and a range of 256 to 511 bytes is allocated as a work area outside the area (area RAM). The top of the in-area RAM is the set value work area. Further, a predetermined byte from the end of the in-area RAM is used as a stack area, and, for example, in Sd5, a return address after a subroutine call is temporarily stored. Therefore, the area of 253 bytes of the in-area RAM except for the set value work area and the stack area where the return address after the subroutine call is stored is cleared to 0 by Sd3 to Sd5.

  Subsequently, the start address of the initial value setting data table is loaded into the HL register (Sd6), and an initial value is set to a part of data by calling data set processing (Sd7). It jumps to S25 shown to (Sd8).

  As described above, in the RAM clearing process (S18) when the power is turned on, of the in-area RAM and the out-of-area RAM, only the in-area RAM is initialized and the out-of-area RAM is not initialized. The out-of-area RAM is an area that mainly stores data related to the display of the performance display means 216, and stores data such as a count value, a count value, and a display value. The in-area RAM stores data on games other than the performance display means 216 stored in the out-of-area RAM. As described above, by dividing the RAM area and not initializing the out-of-area RAM in the RAM clear process at the time of power on, the count value related to the performance display means 216 even when the RAM clear process is performed. It is possible to take over data such as count values, display values, etc. across power interruptions.

  Returning to the setting change branch determination process of S16, the description will be continued. When at least one of the 0, 5 and 6 bits of the W register is determined not to be 1 (≠ W (1, 1, 1)) in S16, that is, when “setting change” is not selected as the processing mode The process jumps to SYSTEM_600 of FIG. 59, that is, the RAM abnormality determination process (S19). This RAM abnormality determination processing (S19) determines whether or not "RAM abnormality" is selected as the processing mode, and as shown in FIG. 59, first determines whether or not the RAM is abnormal (Se1, Se2 ). That is, setting value data is acquired from the setting value work area of the in-area RAM, and the setting value data is compared with 6 to obtain the difference between them (Se1). In the case of the present embodiment, the setting value work area on the RAM is supposed to store any setting value data of 0 to 5 depending on which of the settings 1 to 6 is selected. If there is no abnormality in the RAM, the difference between the set value data and 6 is a negative value. Therefore, if the difference is not a negative value (carry flag ≠ 1), it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and jumps to SYSTEM_700, that is, the process for waiting for power on again (S20) (Se2).

  If the RAM is not abnormal, it is judged whether or not the backup is abnormal (Se3, Se4). That is, the backup flag and 5AH are compared to determine their difference (Se3). The backup flag is set to 5AH in S160 of the second power source abnormality check process (FIG. 65) described later. Then, if the difference is not 0 (zero flag 、 1), it is judged that the backup is abnormal, and the next SYSTEM 700, that is, the process for waiting for power on again (S20) is executed (Se4).

  In the power-on wait process (S20), first, BA07H (power-on command data) is stored in the DE register (Sf1), the command data is sent by the command sending process (Sf2), and the backup flag is cleared ( Sf3). When the effect control board 87 receives a power reapply command (BA07H), for example, a display such as “RAM error Reapply power and decide the setting to 1” is displayed on the liquid crystal display means 22. The means is extinguished, and no sound such as BGM is output from the speaker 46 (silence), and the movable effect means is maintained in the state of stopping at the origin position (no change).

  Then, the first power supply abnormality check process (FIG. 58) is repeated indefinitely, and a power supply reactivation wait state is set (Sf4, Sf5). As described above, in the present embodiment, in the case of the RAM abnormality or the backup abnormality, by shifting to the power reopening wait state, the power is forcibly reentered. When the power-on wait process (S20) is executed due to the RAM abnormality, if it is not W (1, 1, 1) at the next power-on, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal again and the power-on wait process ( S20) is performed. Therefore, when waiting for the power to turn on again and turning on the power again, the door (front frame 3) is opened, and the setting change operation means 213 and the game information clear means 162 are both turned on to change the setting process. It is necessary to execute (S17) and set the setting value to an arbitrary value.

  Returning to the RAM abnormality determination process of S19, the description will be continued. If it is determined in S19 that neither the RAM abnormality nor the backup abnormality is present, the process proceeds to SYSTEM_800 of FIG. 59, that is, the RAM clear branch determination process (S21). In this RAM clear branch determination process (S21), it is determined whether or not "RAM clear" is selected as the process mode. As shown in FIG. 59, first, the value of the sixth bit of the W register is Transfer to CF) (Sg1). If the carry flag (the sixth bit of the W register) is 1, that is, if the game information clear means 162 is ON, "RAM clear" is selected as the processing mode, and SYSTEM_500, ie, the above-described RAM clear process. Although the process jumps to (S18) (Sg2), if not so, the process moves to the next SYSTEM_900, that is, the setting confirmation branch determination process (S22).

  In the present embodiment, the RAM clear branch determination process (S21) is executed out of eight combinations of the 0th, 5th, and 6th bits of the W register except for W (1, 1, 1). There are seven types of cases. And among these seven types, “RAM clear” is selected as the processing mode is three types of W (1, 0, 1), W (0, 1, 1), and W (0, 0, 1). Since this is the case (see FIG. 61), it is sufficient to determine only the sixth bit among the 0th, 5th and 6th bits of the W register in this S21.

  The setting confirmation branch determination process (S22) which is shifted when it is determined that the 6th bit of the W register is not 1 in S21 is to determine whether or not to select the processing mode of "setting confirmation". First, the value of the W register is compared with "00100001B" to obtain the difference between them (Sh1). The value obtained by this is when the 0th and 5th bits of the W register are 1 and the 6th bit is 0 (= W (1, 1, 0)), that is, the door (front frame 3) is opened and the setting change It becomes 0 when the operation means 213 is ON and the game information clear means 162 is OFF (see FIG. 61). If the obtained value (difference) is 0, for example, 1 is set to the zero flag. Then, if the value obtained at Sh1 is not 0 (zero flag = 0), that is, W (1, 1, 0), the processing mode of "backup restoration" is selected instead of "setting confirmation" and the next The setting confirmation process (S23) is skipped and the process shifts (jumps) to SYSTEM_1100, that is, the backup restoration process (S24) (Sh2).

  In the present embodiment, of the eight combinations of the 0th, 5th, and 6th bits of the W register, the setting confirmation branch determination process (S22) is executed only when the 6th bit is 4 of 0. It is. Then, among the four types, “setting confirmation” is selected as the processing mode only in the case of W (1, 1, 0), and the other W (1, 0, 0), W (0 , 1, 0) and W (0, 0, 0) are all selected as “backup recovery” (see FIG. 61).

  In the backup recovery process (S24), as shown in FIG. 59, first, a backup recovery time command transmission process (M_MKINFO) is called (Sj1). As a result, a power failure return display command (BA03H), a special hold quantity designation command (B0xxH), a spec command (F611H), and a state designation command (FAxxH to FDxxH) are sequentially transmitted to the effect control board 87, and further symbol variation is occurring. Otherwise, a customer waiting command (BA04H) is transmitted.

  Subsequently, the address of the backup flag in the in-area RAM is set in the HL register (Sj2), and the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the address of the winning opening error detection timer 3 in the in-area RAM and adding one. Is set in the B register (Sj3), and a 0 clear process is called (Sj4). In this embodiment, the head of the in-area RAM is the setting value work area, and the next is the backup flag work area, and the error from the next of the backup flag work area to the winning opening error detection timer 3 work area is an error. It is a related work area. Therefore, the backup flag work area in the in-area RAM and the work area related to the error subsequent thereto are cleared to 0 by the above-mentioned Sj2 to Sj4. As described above, even when the backup is restored, only the error-related work area is cleared to 0 so that the error information before the power failure is not carried over.

  Returning to the setting confirmation branch determination process (S22), the description will be continued. In Sh2 of FIG. 59, if the value obtained at Sh1 is 0 (zero flag = 1), that is, W (1, 1, 0), “setting confirmation” is selected as the processing mode, and SYSTEM_1100 (backup Without jumping to the return processing (S24), the processing advances to the next setting confirmation processing S23, and the setting confirmation period starts.

  In the setting confirmation process (S23), as shown in FIG. 59, first, E021H (command data under setting confirmation) is stored in the DE register (Si1), and the command transmission process (Si2) transmits the command data and Set value data is acquired from the set value work area of the internal RAM and stored in the C register (Si3). When the effect control board 87 receives the setting confirmation command (E021H), for example, the liquid crystal display means 22 displays "setting confirmation" or the like, but all the electric decoration means are turned off and the speaker 46 No sound such as BGM is output (silenced), and the movable effect means continues to be stopped at the origin position (no change).

  Subsequently, the processing of Si4 to Si15 is repeatedly executed until the condition of Si7 is satisfied and the process jumps to SYSTEM_1060 (Si16). In the loop processing of Si4 to Si15, first, the first power supply abnormality check processing (FIG. 58) is executed (Si4), and data (FIG. 60) of the input port 1 (P_INPT1) is input to the A register (Si5). Then, a bit other than the 0th bit corresponding to the ON / OFF signal of the setting change operation means 213 is masked by obtaining the logical product (AND) of the value of the A register and the mask data "00000001B", and the A register The data after the mask is updated (Si6). Thereby, when the setting change operation means 213 is ON (the 0th bit of the input port is 1), the value of the A register becomes "00000001B", and the setting change operation means 213 is OFF (0th bit of the input port is 0). In the case of), the value of the A register becomes "00000000B" and the zero flag is set to 1.

  Then, when the zero flag is 1, that is, when the setting change operation means 213 is OFF, the loop processing of Si4 to Si15 is skipped to jump to SYSTEM_1060 (Si16), but when the zero flag is 0, that is, the setting change operation means If 213 is ON, the process moves to the next Si8 (Si7).

  In the subsequent Si8, "00000010B" is input to the A register, and the value of the A register is output to the external output port 2 (P_GAIBU2) (Si9). Thus, the signal during setting confirmation is output to the hall computer.

  Then, the start address of the setting display data table (FIG. 62C) is set in the HL register (Si10), and the setting value data (see Si3) stored in the C register is transferred to the A register (Si11), The setting value data 0 to 5 in the setting display data table of the address (FIG. 62 (c)) obtained by adding the value (setting value data) of the A register to the value of the HL register (start address of the setting display data table) The display pattern data is read out from the address corresponding to one of them and set in the W register (Si12). Thus, for example, "00000110B" for displaying "1" when the set value data is 0 is displayed in the W register, and "01111101B" for displaying "6" when the set value data is 5. Is set.

  Next, set common data "00010000B" to turn on the common C4 (Fig. 54) corresponding to the 7-segment display portion 214a in the A register (Si13), and set the value of the A register to the LED common port (Fig. 54). The value of the W register is output to the LED data port 2 (FIG. 54) (Si14). As a result, any one of “1” to “6” is displayed on the setting display unit 215, that is, the 7-segment display unit 214a of the performance information display unit 214, corresponding to the setting value data (one of 0 to 5). .

  As described above, in the setting confirmation processing S23, since the setting display data is created based on the setting value data acquired from the setting value work, the values displayed on the setting display unit 215 during the setting confirmation period (for example, “1” to The “6” is different from during the setting change period, and is the setting information determined at that time. Therefore, “. (Dot)” is not added to “1” to “6” displayed on the setting display unit 215 during the setting confirmation period.

  When Si14 ends, the process jumps to SYSTEM_1050, and the process after Si4 is executed again. Then, if it is determined that the zero flag is 1 in Si7, that is, the setting change operation means 213 is OFF, the setting confirmation period is ended, the loop processing is exited, the process jumps to SYSTEM_1060, and the processing after Si16 is performed. . That is, an exclusive OR (XOR) is obtained between the values of the WA register, and the WA register is cleared by updating the value of the WA register with the obtained value (Si 16). By outputting the value of W to the LED common port (FIG. 54) and the value of W register to the LED data port 2 (FIG. 54) (Si17), the display of the setting information on the setting display means 215 is stopped.

  Also, by outputting the value of the A register to the external output port 2 (P_GAIBU2) (Si18), the output of the setting confirmation signal is stopped. Then, the value of the E register is incremented (Si19), and the command data is transmitted by the command transmission process (Si20). Since E021H is set in the DE register at the time of execution of Si19 (see Si1), increment the E register with Si19 and execute command transmission processing (Si20) to the effect control board 87. E022H (setting confirmation end command) is transmitted. In addition, when the effect control board 87 receives the setting confirmation end command (E022H), for example, the display such as “in setting confirmation” of the liquid crystal display means 22 is ended.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the setting change operation means 213 is ON and the game information clear means 162 is OFF at the time of power on and the door is open (W (1, 1, 0), the setting change operation means During the setting confirmation period until the switch 213 is switched to OFF, setting information (for example, one of 1 to 6) is displayed on the setting display unit 215 at that time.

  Subsequent to the above setting confirmation process (S23), the backup recovery process (S24) described above is executed.

  When the above S15 to S24 are completed, the process proceeds to the process of FIG. 57, and CTC (Counter Timer Circuit) is set so that the timer interrupt is executed at a cycle of 4 ms, for example (S25), and the emission permission signal is set to ON. At the same time (S26), a game start command (BA 77H) is transmitted to the effect control board 87 (S27).

  Then, all registers are saved (S28), and after the operation check setting process (S29) which is an out-of-area program is called and executed, all the registers are restored (S30). In the operation check setting process (S29), as shown in FIG. 63, the operation check flag indicating whether the operation check of the performance display means 216 is in progress is turned on (during the operation check) (S121) and the operation check An initial value (for example, a value corresponding to 5 seconds) is set in the operation confirmation timer for measuring time (S122). The operation confirmation flag and the operation confirmation timer are stored in the out-of-area RAM. The operation confirmation of the performance display means 216 will be described later.

  Subsequently, main loop processing (S31 to S36) is executed. In this main loop processing, interrupts are inhibited (S31), various random numbers are updated (S32), all registers are saved in the stack area (S33), and performance display aggregation division processing (S34) is executed, then all registers Is returned (S35) and the interrupt is permitted (S36). A series of processes are repeatedly executed. Thus, for example, the timer interrupt process (second process) is called and executed at a cycle of 4 ms.

  Here, the performance display tabulation division process (S34) calculates a base value (predetermined information) to be displayed on the performance display means 216, and is a unit until the number of outs reaches a predetermined number (for example, 60000) from a predetermined time During the period, "the number of payouts in the low probability state" and "the number of outs in the low probability state" during the unit period are counted, and the former is divided by the latter to calculate the first base value. As the second base value, the final first base value in the previous unit period is used as it is.

  Subsequently, timer interrupt processing (FIG. 64) of the main control board 86 will be described. In this timer interrupt process (FIG. 64), first, the second power source abnormality check process (S131) is executed. In the second power supply abnormality check process, for example, as shown in FIG. 65, the power supply abnormality signal transmitted from the power supply substrate 95 is first read twice (S151). Then, it is determined whether or not the levels of the power supply abnormality signal read twice match (S152), and if the levels do not match (S152: No), the process returns to S151, and if they match (S152: Yes) It is determined whether or not the power supply abnormality signal is ON, that is, whether the level of the power supply abnormality signal is "H" level (S153).

  When the level of the power supply abnormality signal is not "H" level (ON) (S153: No), the backup flag is set to OFF (≠ 5AH) (S154) and the value of the power supply abnormality check counter is cleared (S155) ), And the second power source abnormality check process ends.

  On the other hand, when the level of the power supply abnormality signal is "H" level (ON) (S153: Yes), the value of the power supply abnormality confirmation counter is incremented (+1) (S156), and the power supply abnormality confirmation counter after incrementing For example, it is determined whether the value of has reached 2 (S157). If the value of the power supply abnormality check counter is less than 2 (S157: No), the second power supply abnormality check process is ended as it is.

  If the value of the power supply abnormality check counter has reached 2 in S157 (S157: Yes), it is determined that the power supply is abnormal, and backup processing (S158 to S161) of data (gaming information) stored in the RAM is performed. . That is, the value of the power supply abnormality confirmation counter is cleared (S158), the firing control signal is set to OFF (S159), and the backup flag is set to 5AH (S160). Then, the checksum is calculated by continuously performing 8-bit addition on the work area of the RAM, and the calculation result (SUM address) is stored as a checksum value in the SUM storage area of the RAM (S161).

  Thereafter, a power-off command is transmitted to the effect control board 87 or the like (S162), and the protection of the RAM is validated and the prohibited area is invalidated (S163). As a result, data writing to the RAM is prohibited in the subsequent processing. Also, after clearing the output data of all output ports (S164) and prohibiting the timer interrupt by the setting process for CTC (S165), the infinite loop process is repeated while clearing the WDT, and the power supply voltage drops and the CPU Wait for inactivity.

  When the above-described second power source abnormality check process (S131 in FIG. 64) is completed, timer management process (S132) for managing various timers used for game control is subsequently performed, and game ball detection means and operation means provided in each winning means Input management processing (S133) to manage detection information by various sensors such as, setting abnormality check processing (S134) to perform abnormality check on set values, error management processing (S135) to monitor occurrence of various errors, large hit judgment random number etc. The random number updating process (S136) for updating various random numbers and the prize ball management process (S137) for managing the prize balls such as transmitting the payout control command to the payout control board 98 are executed.

  Also, following to the prize ball management process (S137), the normal symbol management process (S138), the ordinary electric role management process (S139), the special symbol management process (S140), the special electric role management process (S141) Run.

  The normal symbol management process (S138) is to manage the variation of the normal symbol by the normal symbol display means 29, and the normal random number information such as the hit judgment random number value based on the normal symbol starting means 24 detecting the game ball. While storing the ordinary random number information in a first-in first-out storage area with a predetermined upper limit pending number (for example, four) as a limit, the ordinary symbol display means 29 becomes capable of fluctuating display and one or more Under the condition that the normal random number information is stored (normally the number of held is 1 or more), the top hit random number value is taken out from the queue of the normal random number information, and the hit random number value is determined in advance. According to whether or not it matches with the hit judgment value, the judgment (hit judgment) of hitting / disapproval is performed, and the stop after the fluctuation of the normal symbol based on the hitting judgment result Select pattern and varying time, and performs a variation of the normal symbol by normal symbol display means 29.

  In addition, the ordinary electric role management management process (S139) is to manage the ordinary profit state, the stop symbol after the change of the normal symbol display means 29 on the basis of the hit determination result of S138 becomes a hit mode and When the special symbol starting means 25 is changed to the open state in accordance with a predetermined opening and closing pattern, the normal symbol state is generated.

  The special symbol management process (S140) is to manage the variation of the special symbol by the special symbol display means 30, and based on the special symbol start means 25 detecting the game ball, special random number information such as the jackpot judgment random value The special random number information is stored in a first-in first-out type storage area with a predetermined upper limit pending number (for example, four) as a limit, and the special symbol display means 30 becomes capable of fluctuating display and one or more Under the condition that special random number information is stored (the number of special holdings is 1 or more), the leading big hit judgment random number value is taken out from the queue of the special random number information, and the big hit judgment random number value is determined in advance. According to whether or not it matches with the jackpot judgment value determination of jackpot / loss (jump judgment) is performed, and based on the jackpot judgment result, a special symbol Select the variation pattern of the stop symbol and performance symbols after change, and performs the variation of the special symbols by special symbol display means 30.

  The special electric role management process (S141) is to manage the big hit game (special game), the result of the big hit determination becomes a big hit (winning by random number lottery), the stop symbol after the change of the special symbol display means 30 is big hit When it comes to an aspect, a jackpot game is generated in which the variable winning means 26 is changed to the open state in accordance with a predetermined opening pattern.

  Subsequent to the special motorized role management process (S141), an external terminal process (S142) and an LED management process (S143) are performed. In the external terminal processing (S142), processing is performed to output various information from the external output terminal to an external device such as a hall computer.

  In the LED management process (S143), light emission management of the LEDs constituting the game information display means 211, the performance display means 216 (performance information display means 214) and the like is performed. As described above, in the present embodiment, drive control is performed on the game information display unit 211 and the performance information display unit 214 by the dynamic lighting method.

  In the LED management process (S143), as shown in FIG. 66, first, a clear signal is output to the LED common port and the LED data port to clear the port (S241), and the LED output counter is incremented (S242). Then, common data corresponding to the value of the LED output counter is selected from the LED common output selection table (FIG. 67 (a)) (S243), and the common data is output to the LED common port (S244).

  In the LED common output selection table of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 67A and 54, the first common data for turning on the common C0 and the common C4 and the common C1 and common C5 are turned on. Four types of common data are provided: second common data, third common data for turning on common C2 and common C6, and fourth common data for turning on common C3 and common C7. The first to fourth common data are cyclically selected in the order according to the increase of the LED output counter.

  Accordingly, the lighting target of the game information display unit 211 sequentially changes as LED group 211 a → 211 b → 211 c → 211 d → 211 a → ... at every one interrupt (for example, every 4 ms), similarly, the performance display unit 216 (performance The lighting target of the information display means 214) changes sequentially as 7 segment display section 214a → 214b → 214c → 214d → 214a →.

  Subsequently, for the LED output counter, the value of the fifth bit when the least significant bit is set to the 0th bit is determined (S245), and two LED data output information tables A and B (FIG. ) Is selected (S246a, 246b). As a result, the LED data output information table can be switched every 32 interrupts (128 ms).

  Here, the LED data output information tables A and B correspond to the LED data port 1 connected to the game information display means 211, and as shown in FIG. 67, each corresponds to the first to fourth common data. First to fourth LED data A0 to A3 and B0 to B3 are provided. That is, the first LED data A0, B0 are the LED data of the LED group 211a (special symbol display means 30) of the game information display means 211 corresponding to the common C0, and the second LED data A1, B1 correspond to the common C1. The third LED data A2 and B2 are LED data of the LED group 211b of the game information display unit 211, and the third LED data A2 and B2 are LED groups 211c of the game information display unit 211 corresponding to the common C2 33) and the fourth LED data A3 and B3 are LED data of the LED group 211d (normal symbol display means 29 etc.) of the game information display means 211 corresponding to the common C3.

  When one of the LED data output information tables A and B is selected (S246a, S246b), LED data corresponding to the value of the LED output counter is selected from the LED data output information table (S247), and the LED data is LED data It outputs to port 1 (S248), and ends the LED management process.

  By the above processing, the four LED groups 211a to 211d of the game information display unit 211 can be switched on while being switched every 4 ms, and two display modes can be switched every 128 ms in the same group.

  Returning to the timer interrupt process of FIG. 64, the description will be continued. When the LED management process (S143) described above is completed, after the contents of all the registers are saved in the stack area (S144), the performance display update process (S145) is executed. The performance display update process (S145) is a process of updating the display of the performance display means 216 based on the first and second base values and the like calculated in the performance display aggregation division process (S34 of FIG. 57).

  In the performance display update process (S145), as shown in FIG. 68, the stack pointer is first evacuated (S251), and the out-of-area RAM check process (S252) is executed. In the out-of-area RAM check process (S252), for example, as shown in FIG. 69, it is determined whether or not the out-of-area RAM is abnormal (S261), and it is determined that the out-of-area RAM is abnormal S261: Yes), the processing of S262 to S264 is executed. That is, the out-of-area RAM is initialized (S262), the operation check flag is set to ON (during operation check) (S263), and an initial value (for example, a value corresponding to 5 seconds) is set in the operation check timer ( S264). Thus, the operation confirmation process is always executed after the initialization of the out-of-area RAM.

  Following the out-of-area RAM check process (S252 in FIG. 68), for example, a performance display means output process (S253) is executed. In this performance display means output process (S253), the data set in the identification display unit output buffer and the numerical display unit output buffer (predetermined storage area) by the time of the previous interruption are selected in the LED management process (FIG. 66) A predetermined display is performed on the performance display means 216 by outputting to the LED data port 2 (FIG. 54) according to the common (7-segment display unit). The identification display unit output buffer and the numerical value display unit output buffer are for storing display pattern data of the identification display unit and the numerical value display unit, and both are provided in the out-of-area RAM. The performance display means output process (S253) may be executed after the operation check process (S255) and the display update process (S256) described later.

  Following the performance display means output process (S253), it is determined whether the operation confirmation flag is ON (during operation confirmation) (S254). If the operation confirmation flag is ON, the operation of the performance display means 216 If the operation confirmation process (S255) for confirmation is not ON, the display update process (S256) for updating the display of the performance display means 216 is executed.

  In the operation confirmation process (S255), operation confirmation in which all the 7-segment display units 214a to 214d constituting the performance display means 216 all blink in a predetermined cycle such as 0.3 seconds is performed for a predetermined time (here 5 seconds) . When the operation check is completed, the operation check flag is switched to OFF. In addition, since the initial value (5 seconds) is set when the power is turned on (S122 in FIG. 63), the power of the operation confirmation timer that measures the duration of operation confirmation is switched off during operation confirmation, At the time of the subsequent power failure recovery, the operation confirmation is not resumed from the state before the power failure, but the operation confirmation is performed again from the beginning of 5 seconds.

  The performance display tabulation division process (S34 in FIG. 57) is also performed during the above operation check process, and at least the count process necessary for calculating the base value is performed. As a result, it is possible to accurately reflect the base value displayed after the operation check on the winning or the ball entering the out during the operation check. Since the base value is not displayed during the operation check, at least the count process may be performed in the performance display tabulation division process during the operation check, but the base value may be calculated.

  Further, in the display updating process (S256), the first base value and the second base value are switched and displayed, for example, every five seconds, on the performance display means 216 after the complete blinking (operation check) is finished. In the four 7-segment display units 214a to 214d constituting the performance display unit 216, for example, the upper two-digit 7-segment display units 214d and 214c indicate the types of base values (the first and second display units). The identification display unit and the lower two-digit 7-segment display units 214b and 214a are numerical value display units for displaying numerical values of base values. When the first base value is displayed on the numerical value display unit, for example, “bL.” Is displayed on the identification display unit, and when the second base value is displayed on the numerical value display unit, for example, Display "b6." For example, the base value is displayed on the numerical value display unit after rounding off the first decimal place, but if the value after rounding is three digits or more, “99.” indicating overflow or the like is displayed on the numerical value display unit.

  The performance display means 216 switches the display of a plurality of types of base values (here, the first and second base values) every predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), for example, a predetermined period such as when the door is opened. The performance display means 216 may be operated only, or the first and second base values may be switched based on a button operation or the like.

  After execution of the operation check process (S255) or the display update process (S256), the stack pointer is restored (S257), and the performance display update process is ended.

  When the performance display update process described above (S145 in FIG. 64) is completed, the contents of the saved register are restored (S146), the WDT is cleared (S147), and the timer interrupt process is ended.

  As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to each embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning. Although a pachinko machine is exemplified as a gaming machine, the present invention can be similarly applied to various types of gaming machines including slot machines and the like as well as ball-ball gaming machines such as pachinko machines 1 and arrange ball machines.

  Although the effect control board case 65, the liquid crystal control board case 66, the main control board case 67, the back cover 85, etc. are illustrated as objects to be detachably attached by the latch means 80 to 82, 168, 169, the power board case 69 The control substrate case 70 or the like may be used, or may be other than them. Further, the object to be attached by the latch means 80 to 82, 168, 169 may be either an open / close member configured to be openable / closable or a detachable member configured to be removable. Therefore, it is not limited to the effect control board case 65, the back cover 85, and the like.

  The latch means 80 to 82, 168, 169 may have structures other than those exemplified in the embodiment as long as they include the engaging body 123 and the operating body 124 provided on the engaging body 123 so as to be able to push and pull. Good. The operation body 124 may have substantially the same height as the peripheral member at the push-in position A, and may be protruded from the peripheral member at the pull-out position B. Conversely, the peripheral member at the push-in position A It may be recessed more than that, and may be at the same height as the peripheral member at the withdrawal position B.

  An operation space may be provided between the operation body 124 and its peripheral members around the latch means 80 to 82, 168, 169. Therefore, if there is an operation space around the operating body 124, there may be peripheral members around the entire periphery of the operating body 124, or some of the entire periphery of the operating body 124 have peripheral members, Other parts may be open. It is to be noted that, rather than providing an operation space around the entire operation body 124 and providing peripheral members, it is better to arrange the peripheral members on a part of the periphery of the operation body 124 on the end side of the mounting object. , 168, 169 can be arranged. The peripheral member may be taller than the operating body 124 of the latch means 80-82.

  Although the volume adjustment switch 128 for adjusting the volume of the speaker 46 for effect sound effect is illustrated as the effect system adjustment means, any adjustment means of the effect system can be implemented similarly. For example, in the case where a light emitting effect means such as an LED is provided on the front side of the front door 4 and the center case 23, the light amount adjusting switch may be used to adjust the light amount of the light emitting effect means. Further, the volume and the light amount may be adjusted in a combined manner.

  As the game information clear means, a RAM, a RAM clear switch for clearing the game information, etc. are representative, but other means may be used. The RAM and the RAM clear switch may be provided on the main control board 86 in addition to the payout control board 98.

  The operation unit 128a of the volume adjustment switch 128 constituting the effect system adjustment means may be any of a rotation operation type, a pressing operation type, and a linear sliding operation type. When the operation part 128a of the volume control switch 128 is made operable through the heat radiation hole 185 of the back cover 85, the heat radiation hole 185 may be made to have the same shape as the heat radiation hole 185 of the other peripheral portion of the back cover 85 Of the heat radiation holes 185, an opening larger than the other part may be provided in a portion corresponding to the operation portion 128a. Further, the heat dissipation holes 185 corresponding to the operation portion 128a may be made larger than the other heat dissipation holes 185 in the periphery.

  In addition, the effect control board case 65 accommodating the effect control board 87, the heat dissipation holes (case heat dissipation holes) 102 and 103 in the liquid crystal control board case 66, and the back cover 85 covering the effect control board case 65 and the liquid crystal control board case 66 Holes (cover heat radiation holes) 185 are provided, and the heat radiation holes 185 have a first cover heat radiation hole 185a overlapping the heat radiation holes 102 and 103, and a second cover heat radiation hole 185b not overlapping the heat radiation holes 102 and 103. In this case, it is desirable that the opening width y2 of the second cover heat radiation hole 185b be larger than the opening width y1 of the first cover heat radiation hole 185a.

  For example, when both the first cover heat radiation hole 185a and the second cover heat radiation hole 185b are round holes, the diameter (opening width) of the second cover heat radiation hole 185b is the diameter (opening width) of the first cover heat radiation hole 185a. It is desirable to make it larger.

  When the first cover heat radiation hole 185a and the second cover heat radiation hole 185b are elongated in the left-right direction, the vertical width of the second cover heat radiation hole 185b is the same as the vertical width of the first cover heat radiation hole 185a. It is desirable to make it larger than the opening width of.

  When the first cover heat radiation hole 185a and the second cover heat radiation hole 185b are long holes in the vertical direction or the left and right direction, the opening area of the second cover heat radiation hole 185b having a large opening width is determined by the length of the long hole. It may be larger than the small first cover radiation hole 185a.

  The heat radiation holes 185 of the back cover 85 may be disposed by combining a number of round holes and a number of long holes. Further, when providing the heat dissipation hole 185 of the long hole in the back cover 85, the long hole may be provided in an oblique direction instead of providing in the lateral direction and / or the vertical direction. When the heat dissipation holes 185 are arranged in an oblique direction, a plurality of heat dissipation holes 185 may be arranged in a diagonal direction centering on a substantially central portion of the back cover 85.

  When the plurality of heat radiation holes 185 are disposed at a first predetermined interval, and the plurality of case radiation holes 102 and 103 are disposed at a second predetermined interval different from the first predetermined interval, one may be an integral multiple of the other. It may be other than an integral multiple. When the arrangement direction of the cover heat radiation hole 185 and the case heat radiation holes 102 and 103 is substantially the same, the first predetermined interval and the second predetermined interval are different, and the ratio of the first predetermined interval and the second predetermined interval and the arrangement It is desirable that the width ratio of the cover radiation hole 185 in the direction and the width of the case radiation holes 102 and 103 be different.

  The shapes of the heat radiation holes 102 to 106 of the substrate cases 65 to 67, 69 and 70, and the heat radiation holes 185 of the back cover 85 are not limited to the round holes and the long holes, and they are according to the conditions etc. It is possible to optionally adopt one having a shape other than round holes and long holes.

  In the case of the effect control board case 65 and the back cover 85, the relation between the case heat radiation hole 102 and the cover heat radiation hole 185 is the case heat radiation hole area w2 on the effect control board case 65 side and It is a condition that at least a part of the cover heat radiation hole area w1 overlaps. Accordingly, in the case of the main control board case 67 and the back cover 85, this is not the case because there is no overlapping relationship between the case heat dissipation hole area w2 and the cover heat dissipation hole area w1.

  The AC connector 140 of the power supply substrate 95 is generally inserted and withdrawn in the front and rear direction, but may be inserted and detached in the left and right direction other than the front and rear direction, and may be inserted and detached in an oblique direction You may

  In the case of providing a plurality of opening history writing parts 136 and 160, the respective opening history writing parts 136 and 160 are generally arranged side by side in the vertical direction, but may be arranged in the horizontal direction. The opening history notches 136 and 160 may be printed on the history seals 132 and 159 and attached to the substrate case, or may be printed directly on the substrate case.

  When arranging a plurality of opening history writing parts 136 and 160 with a predetermined gap, at least a part of the electronic component 137 may correspond to the gap between the opening history writing parts 136 and 160, but Particularly, it is desirable to arrange the terminal side in 137 so as to correspond to the gap between the opening history notches 136 and 160.

  Further, when the electronic component 137 can be visually recognized from the gap between the opening history writing parts 136 and 160, not only terminals of a single electronic component 137 but terminals of a plurality of electronic components 137 may be visually recognized. When a plurality of electronic products can be viewed, they may be the same type of electronic products or different types of electronic products. Furthermore, the plurality of electronic components may be connected in series or in parallel.

  Further, the electronic and electronic component on the main control board 86 may be connected to the main control device itself such as a CPU or the like or to the main control device. The electronic electronic article on the payout control board 98 may be connected to the payout control device itself such as a CPU or the like, or to the payout control device. When the electronic component 137 is a control element such as a main control device or a delivery control device, it is desirable that at least a portion of product information such as the product number of the control element itself be visible from the gap.

  When bundling the power supply cord 144 and the ground wire 145, the power supply cord 144 and the ground wire 145 may be connected at the bifurcated portion of the power supply cord 144. The point is that it is sufficient if the bifurcated portion of the power supply cord 144 is not torn.

  In addition, it is desirable that the opening history entry section 136, 160 be opaque for the purpose of making the name of the opener, etc. easier to read later, but if it is possible to enter the name of the opener, It may be translucent having some transparency, or translucent having a lower transmittance than the transmittance of the peripheral portion of the hysteresis seal 132.

  Further, when arranging at least a part of the electronic component 137 to correspond to the gap between the unsealing history indication parts 136 and 160, product information such as the product number of the electronic component 137 itself on the back side of the electronic component 137 In the case where there is a written portion in which is written, at least a part of the product information of the written portion may be visible from the gap portion from the viewpoint of preventing a fraud.

  As described in the tenth embodiment, when the setting change function for changing the setting is mounted on the main control board 86, the setting change operation means 213, the game information clear means 162, the setting display means 215 (for example, performance information At least a part of the display unit 214 or the like is an example of a setting change function unit related to the setting change function.

  Among the setting change function units, the setting change operation means 213 and the game information clear means 162 need to be accessed from the rear side of the gaming machine, so they are exposed to the outside (rear side) of the main control board case 67 Although it is necessary, it is preferable that the setting display unit 215 (performance information display unit 214) be accommodated in the main control board case 67, as long as the display content can be visually recognized from the outside. This makes it difficult to access at least the setting display means 215 (performance information display means 214). For example, the setting display means 215 is disadvantageous to the player while illegally changing to a setting value advantageous to the player. It is possible to prevent a goto action that causes the setting value to be displayed.

  Since the setting change function changes the jackpot probability, it is important to be able to easily find the trace of Goto action. Therefore, when the electronic components connected to each setting change function unit (for example, main control CPU → electronic component 1 → electronic component 2 → setting change function unit are connected in this order), the electronic components 1 and 2 It is desirable to arrange at least one of the main control board case 67 at a position not overlapping with the management number indication part of the main control board case 67, the opening history indication part, and the like. Thereby, when the main control board case 67 is viewed from behind the gaming machine (when the main control board 86 is viewed through the back portion of the main control board case 67), the electronic components connected to each setting change function unit are easy You can check In that case, it is possible to adopt the various configurations related to the arrangement of the electronic components described above also for the electronic components.

  Moreover, not only the management number notation part and the opening history notation part, for example, the number of stages of setting values that can be set (settings 1 to 6 etc.) or a sticker that describes the jackpot probability for each setting is affixed to the main control board case 67 It is desirable to have the same configuration in the case. As described above, there is no particular limitation on what kind of notation is performed on the case, but it is desirable to set the relationship as described above for the arrangement relationship between the notation part and the electronic component.

  Moreover, not only the electronic components connected to each setting change function unit, for example, the electronic components connected to the performance display means 216 for displaying the base value (not limited to those physically connected, for example, main control In the case of being connected in the order of CPU → electronic component 1 → electronic component 2 → performance display means 216, it is desirable that the same configuration is applied to both electronic component 1 and electronic component 2). This makes it easy to find the trace even if a go-to action such as rewriting or resetting the base value in the cumulative game is performed due to some fraud on the electronic component.

  The back cover 85 may be arranged to be located behind each setting change function unit provided in the main control board case 67. As a result, each setting change function unit can not be accessed unless the back cover 85 is opened, which is advantageous in terms of suppressing the goto action. Also, while adopting a configuration in which the back cover 85 is located on the rear side of the main control board case 67, an opening is formed in a part of the back cover 85 so that each setting change function portion and the back cover 85 do not overlap in the front and back. , And a notch may be provided. As a result, since a part of the main control board case 67 is in a front-rear relationship with the back cover 85, the main control board case 67 can not be easily removed unless the back cover 85 is opened. While being able to control, when the person in charge of hall accesses each setting modification functional section in order to do setting modification, it is not necessary to open back cover 85, it is possible to do setting modification easily. The rear cover 85 may not be positioned behind the main control board case 67 in consideration of the accessibility of the hole when making a setting change.

  Also, among the setting change function units, some of the function units may be disposed at positions not overlapping the back cover 85 in the front and back, and other function units may be disposed at positions overlapping the back cover 85 in the front and back . For example, among the setting change function units, the setting display unit 215 is disposed at a position overlapping with the back cover 85 in the front and back, and the other setting change operation unit 213, the game information clear unit 162, etc. You may arrange | position in the position which does not overlap. This makes it difficult to access the setting display means 215, so it is possible to suppress the goto action of changing the display of setting information, and without opening the back cover 85 for the setting change operation means 213, the game information clear means 162, etc. Since access is possible, the setting can be easily changed.

  Further, for example, in the case of the setting change operation means 213 which is turned on / off using the setting key, the keyhole portion may be disposed at a position overlapping the back cover 85 in the front and back direction. In this case, the back cover 85 may not be closed when the setting key is inserted into the keyhole. For example, it is conceivable to make the gap between the keyhole portion in the closed state of the back cover 85 and the back cover 85 on the rear side smaller than the projection height of the setting key in the state inserted in the keyhole portion. . This makes it possible to prevent the user from forgetting to remove the setting key after changing the setting or checking the setting. Conversely, the back cover 85 may be closed even when the setting key is inserted. Thus, even if the back cover 85 is closed with the setting key inserted after changing the setting or confirming the setting, the back cover 85 or the setting key is prevented from being damaged by the contact with the setting key. it can.

  In addition, by arranging the keyhole portion of the setting change operation means 213 at a position not overlapping with the back cover 85, the back cover 85 may be closed even when the setting key is inserted. In this case, with the back cover 85 closed, the head of the setting key inserted in the keyhole may be configured to project rearward beyond the back cover 85. In this way, when the back cover 85 is closed with the setting key left inserted after changing the setting or checking the setting, the setting key protrudes from the back cover 85, making it easy to notice that the setting key has been removed It has the advantage of

  Among the setting change function parts, combinations of those disposed at positions overlapping the back cover 85 in the front and back, and those disposed at positions not overlapping the back cover 85 in the front and back are arbitrary. When the setting display means 215 is arranged at a position overlapping the back cover 85 in the front and back, at least the part of the back cover 85 corresponding to the rear side of the setting display means 215 is set even when the back cover 85 is closed. It is desirable to be light transmissive so that the values can be viewed. Further, the heat radiation holes provided in the back cover 85 may be disposed at positions overlapping the setting display means 215 in the front and back direction. Thereby, the visibility at the time of confirming a setting value becomes high. Further, among the setting change function portions, combinations of those disposed at positions overlapping the heat dissipation holes of the back cover 85 in the front and back, and those disposed at positions not overlapping the heat release holes of the back cover 85 in the front and back are arbitrary (all It may be an overlapping position or may not be an overlapping position).

  Command related to the setting change function such as setting change command (BA5AH), setting change completion command (BA09H), setting check command (E021H), setting check end command (E022H), etc. (hereinafter referred to as setting information command) About the harness for transmitting from 86 to a sub board | substrate (henceforth a specific harness), it is desirable to wire in the position which overlaps back cover 85 back and forth. When the back cover 85 has a plurality of heat dissipation holes, it is desirable to wire the specific harness at a position avoiding the heat dissipation holes. Further, although the “harness” mentioned here is constituted by a plurality of signal lines connecting the connectors at both ends, as described above, wiring may be performed at a position overlapping the back cover 85 in the front and back, or a heat radiation hole of the back cover 85 In order to avoid wiring and wiring, at least a signal line to which a setting information command is transmitted among a plurality of signal lines may be included. This makes it difficult to access the specific harness from the rear side of the gaming machine. For example, by inserting or removing the specific harness or the signal line of the specific harness and feeding an incorrect electronic component, information different from the original setting information command can be obtained. It is possible to suppress the goto act of illegally transmitting to the sub board.

  In addition, the specific harness may be wired at a position not overlapping with the back cover 85, or may be wired at a position overlapping with the heat dissipation hole of the back cover 85 in the front and rear direction. As a result, access to the specific harness from the rear side of the gaming machine is facilitated, and the visibility of the specific harness from the rear side of the gaming machine is enhanced, and visual confirmation can be easily performed. Moreover, about a specific harness, you may make access difficult by covering the circumference | surroundings of several signal wire with specific members, such as vinylity. Even in such a case, fraudulent acts can be more firmly prevented by adopting the above-described arrangement.

  It is also possible to notify that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed by an electric decoration means (frame / board lamp) controlled on the sub substrate side, the speaker 46, the liquid crystal display means 22, or the like. Further, it may be notified that the setting change or the setting confirmation is being performed by the panel lamp controlled by the main control board 86 side or the setting display means 215. Here, the electric decoration means (frame and board lamp) controlled on the side of the sub substrate means, for example, a movable body mounted on the frame side of the game machine, an LED provided on the operation means, and other decorative parts, It is an LED provided in various game parts such as a movable body, a starting opening, an attacker, a center case, and the like mounted on the game board side of the machine. On the other hand, the board lamp controlled by the main control board 86 is game information display means 211 (FIG. 53) or the like provided on the game board 16 so as to be visible from the front of the game machine.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 53, the game information display means 211 has a substrate provided with a plurality of (here, 32) LEDs 212, and the plurality of LEDs 212 are one or more for each of a plurality of types of light emission display means. It is assigned. Then, the game information display means 211 receives a signal directly from the main control board 86 without passing through the sub control board, and various types of contents regarding various matters regarding the symbol lottery determined on the main control board 86 side. Informing by the light emission display means of In the tenth embodiment, the normal symbol display means 29, the special symbol display means 30, the normal hold number display means 31, and the special hold number display means 33 are used as the plural types of light emission display means configured by the game information display means 211. Although illustrated, it is not something which is limited to this, high probability indicatory expedient which indicates whether or not it is the high probability condition where probability of becoming a big hit is higher than normal gaming condition, open time of special symbol starting expedient 25b than normal gaming condition Release extension / time display means to notify the short time state when the extension extension state and / or the special symbol or the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened, the game ball is fired so that the game ball passes the right side of the center case 23 If the player is in a state advantageous to the player, the right-handed display means capable of reporting right-handed information indicating that, Ra notifying of the round number information of the jackpot game It may be configured to include at least one of the command number of display means. In addition, when the first and second special symbols can be variably displayed, the first special symbol display means, the second special symbol display means, the first special reserve number display means, and the second special reserve number You may comprise so that a display means etc. may be included.

  Then, during setting change and / or setting confirmation, it is notified that setting change and / or setting confirmation is being performed by emitting the LED 212 constituting the game information display means 211 in a predetermined light emission mode. It may be configured. In this case, the light emission mode of the game information display means 211 may be to light or blink all of the LEDs 212 or to light or blink some of the above-mentioned plural types of light emission display means. . At this time, it may be possible to distinguish whether the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed by making the light emission mode different between the setting being changed and the setting being confirmed. It may be made indistinguishable whether it is under setting change or setting confirmation by making the light emission mode the same.

  In the case of the tenth embodiment, the player can not play the game during setting change or setting confirmation (specifically, the shooting operation is not possible, the winning prize winning opening is invalid, the symbol It is a state that does not execute processing related to fluctuation, and in other words, a state where timer interrupt processing for performing these processing as a main control program has not yet started), and each light emitting display means of game information display means 211 Also can not perform the original light emission display. Therefore, during setting change and / or setting confirmation, a person in charge of hall personnel misunderstands that it is a notification regarding symbol variation even if the game information display unit 211 is made to emit light in any light emission mode to notify that effect. Although the possibility of doing so is low, more effective notification can be achieved by causing the game information display unit 211 to emit light as follows during setting change and / or setting confirmation.

  That is, when notifying that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed by turning on / off / flashing all of the light emitting display means of the game information display means 211, the light emitting mode is visually displayed by many LEDs. It can be made easy to confirm. In addition, when notification is made only by a specific single light emission display means, it becomes impossible to notify when the light emitting part of the light emission display means is broken etc., but when notification is made using all the light emission display means There is nothing to worry about.

  In addition, when notifying that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed by turning on / off / flashing any one of the plurality of light emitting display units of the game information display unit 211 by turning on / off / flickering etc. The program capacity for light emission control can be reduced compared to the case where notification is performed using all the light emission display means. In that case, when the light emitting display means is constituted by a single light emitting portion (LED), the visibility is lowered compared to the case where the light emitting display means is constituted by a plurality of light emitting portions. It is possible to further reduce the program capacity for transmitting a control signal indicating / flashing.

  Also, in the case of notifying that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed by combining at least two or more of the plural types of light emitting display means of the game information display means 211 and making the light on / off / blink etc. It can be made easy to recognize that the current situation is not in game but in setting change or setting confirmation. For example, in the case of a pachinko machine in which the second special symbol is variably displayed prior to the first special symbol, since the first special symbol and the second special symbol do not simultaneously change during the game, By simultaneously turning on the light emitting display means corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol during setting change or setting confirmation, it can be made easy to recognize that setting change or setting confirmation is in progress. . Of course, the other two or more light emission display means may notify that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed in the light emission mode that can not occur during the game.

  Also, even if at least one light emitting display means of the game information display means 211 is turned on / off / flashing in a light emission mode that can not be played during a game, even if it is notified that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed. Good. For example, when the round number display means for notifying the round number information of the jackpot game is not displayed in a blinking state during the game, the setting change is being performed or the setting is being confirmed by blinking the round number display means. You may alert that.

  Here, as the light emission mode of the light emission display means of the game information display means 211, it has been described that it is on / off / blink etc. In this case, the on / blink means those visually recognized as such I assume. That is, when the game information display unit 211 is controlled by the dynamic lighting method as in the tenth embodiment, even if it is in the lighting state, it is in the high-speed blinking state, but this is the lighting state. The blinking state refers to a case where the lighting state (high speed blinking) and the lighting off state (light off) are visually repeated at predetermined intervals.

  Also, the dynamic lighting system is used to control the light emitting display means of the game information display means 211 during the game, and the static lighting is performed when controlling the light emitting display means of the game information display means 211 during setting change or setting confirmation. It is good also as a system. For example, since the generation of the timer interrupt process of 4 ms is permitted during the game, any light emitting unit of the light emitting display means of the game information display means 211 is used for every interrupt using the process repeatedly performed every 4 ms. It is possible to switch common data that determines whether to transmit data related to lighting, which makes it easy to perform dynamic lighting control that repeatedly performs lighting / extinguishing at predetermined intervals for each interrupt, while changing settings or setting During the confirmation, it is before the game becomes possible, and in this period, the generation of the timer interrupt process of 4 ms is not yet permitted, so it is necessary to realize the same process when trying to execute the same process Program capacity increases. In that respect, if the control of the game information display unit 211 is set to the static lighting method during setting change or setting confirmation, data on lighting of any of the light emitting units of the light emitting display units of the game information display unit 211 is Since it is sufficient to transmit only, it is possible to dramatically reduce the program capacity as compared to the case of the dynamic lighting control. As described above, the lighting control method of the game information display unit 211 may be different between the game and the setting change and / or the setting confirmation.

  Further, the game information display means 211 may be provided with a light emission display means for notifying that the setting is being changed and / or the setting is being confirmed separately from the light emission display means used during the game. In this case, a light emitting display means for notifying that the setting is being changed and a light emitting display means for notifying that the setting is being confirmed may be separately provided. When notifying that setting change and setting confirmation are being performed by one type of light emitting display means (one or a plurality of light emitting parts), setting change is being performed by making the light emission mode different between setting change and setting confirmation. It may be possible to identify whether it is in the process of confirming the setting or not, or vice versa by making the light emission mode the same between the setting being changed and the setting being in check. It may not be possible.

  In addition to the light emission display means used during the game, the game information display means 211 is provided with a light emission display means for notifying that the setting is being changed and a light emission display means for notifying that the setting is being confirmed. Although it is desirable to arrange the two so as to be adjacent to each other, they may be arranged so as to sandwich another light emitting display means.

  In the tenth embodiment, it is possible to distinguish between setting change and setting confirmation based on whether “. (Dot)” is added to the setting information displayed on the setting display unit 215. For example, among the 7-segment display units 214a to 214d constituting the performance information display unit 214, the 7-segment display units 214b to 214d not used as the setting display unit 215 are used to set these to predetermined light emission modes ( It may be notified that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed by turning on / off / flashing and the like.

  Further, since the performance display means 216 always operates to display the base value during the game, basically, the control does not perform control to maintain the light-off state for a predetermined time during the game. Therefore, in the non-playing state such as setting change or setting confirmation, it is possible to recognize that the current state is not in game by dare to continue the light-off state, whereby setting change or setting confirmation It is possible to notify that it is medium. As described above, in consideration of the original display mode of the performance display means 216, it may be notified that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed by setting the light to the off state instead of the on state. Further, although the case where one of the 7-segment display units 214a to 214d constituting the performance display unit 216 for displaying the base value is also used as the setting display unit 215 is illustrated, the present invention is not limited thereto. Even when the performance display means 216 is provided separately, it is possible to notify that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed by the same idea.

  Furthermore, when notifying that setting change and / or setting confirmation is being performed by the setting display unit 215, different notification modes may be set between setting change and setting confirmation. As each alerting | reporting aspect in this case, the above-mentioned light emission aspect may be combined in any way, and the alerting | reporting aspect should just differ at least. Further, the items described as the concept of notifying that setting change and / or setting confirmation are being performed by the setting display unit 215 can be applied to the case of controlling the light emission of the above-mentioned game information display unit 211. .

  Then, the merit by alerting | reporting by the game information display means 211 (board lamp) and the setting display means 215 which control during setting change and setting confirmation by the main control side is described below. If it is notified that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed only by the lamp / speaker / liquid crystal display means controlled on the sub side, the signal line connecting the main control board and the sub control board is cut off by goto action. If it is done, it will not be possible to notify that the setting is being changed or the setting is being checked, for example, it is possible to easily change the setting or checking the setting without being known to the person in charge of the hall. turn into. On the other hand, in addition to (or in place of) lamp / speaker / liquid crystal display means controlled on the sub side, setting change or confirmation by setting information means 211 (panel lamp) controlled on the main control side If notification is made that the display is in progress, notification by the game information display unit 211 or the setting display unit 215 is performed even if the signal line connecting the main control board and the sub control board is disconnected. Therefore, it becomes possible for the person in charge of hall to notice the goto action.

  In addition, it is configured to notify that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed using the game information display means 211 visible from the front side of the gaming machine and the setting display means 215 visible from the rear side of the gaming machine. For example, it is possible to check the state of setting change or setting confirmation from both the front side and the rear side of the gaming machine.

  In addition, the lamp / speaker / liquid crystal display means (rendering means) that controls on the sub side (render control board 87) does not notify that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed, and game information display controlled on the main control side Although it may be configured to notify by means 211 and setting display means 215, lamp / speaker / liquid crystal display means controlled on the sub side, and game information display means 211 and setting display means 215 controlled on the main control side. For example, identifiability is further improved by configuring to be notified by both

  Moreover, although the game information display means 211 was illustrated as a board lamp for notifying that the setting is being changed and / or the setting is being confirmed, any light emitting means may be used as long as it is controlled by the main control board side. For example, it may be provided on either the board side or the frame side.

  When part of the plurality of 7-segment display units 214a to 214d constituting the performance display unit 216 is used as the setting display unit 215, static lighting control (first display control) is used when used as the setting display unit 215. As described above, it is possible to use dynamic lighting control (second display control) when using as the performance display means 216 after the start of the game. However, in the case where the 7-segment display units 214a to 214d constituting the performance display means 216 have specifications assuming only dynamic lighting control, there is a possibility that a problem may occur by performing static lighting control.

  For example, as an absolute maximum rating of 7 segments for the performance display means 216, the maximum value of forward current is 15 mA / seg (static), and the maximum value of peak forward current is 60 mA / seg (duty 1/5 pulse width 1 ms) ( In the case where only the base value is displayed, it is necessary to consider only the dynamic lighting control when it is defined in the dynamic), so the maximum value of the peak forward current is 60 mA / seg (duty 1/5 pulse width 1 ms). The current value in the range that does not exceed should be set, but when performing static lighting control when used as setting display means 215, the maximum value of peak forward current is 60 mA / seg (duty 1/5 pulse width 1 ms) And it is necessary to set the current value not to exceed 15 mA / seg which is the maximum value of forward current. Here, if it is assumed that the current value does not exceed 15 mA / seg, the luminance at the time of one lighting during dynamic lighting control decreases, and the lighting display at the time of displaying the base value is flickering. There is a risk of

  Therefore, for example, the maximum value of the peak forward current does not exceed 60 mA / seg (duty 1/5 pulse width 1 ms), and by setting the current value in the range exceeding 15 mA / seg, which is the maximum value of forward current, It is possible to configure so that flickering does not easily occur in the lighting display at the time of lighting control. In this case, since it is set to a current value in the range exceeding 15 mA / seg, which is the maximum value of forward current, when performing static lighting control during setting change or setting confirmation, simply transmitting only lighting data When lighting control is performed so as to repeat, it goes without saying that the maximum value of the forward current will be exceeded, but lighting data and turning-off data are alternately transmitted at predetermined intervals (lighting data is continuously given for a predetermined time) After sending, repeat sending the turn-off data for a predetermined time continuously), and the maximum value is set to the current value in the range exceeding 15 mA / seg, which is the maximum value of the forward current. It becomes possible to perform lighting control so that it does not exceed. As described above, pseudo dynamic lighting control using static lighting control may be realized. That is, at the time of dynamic lighting control at the time of displaying a base value, switching on common data for designating 7 segments to be lit causes lighting control to be repeatedly turned on / off, while displaying setting values. Similarly, since switching of common data increases the control program, control is performed to alternately transmit lighting data and lighting data at predetermined intervals without switching common data. In this case, since it is only necessary to switch the data to be transmitted at predetermined intervals, it is possible to realize the lighting control with a program much smaller than switching the common data. As described above, by devising the control method, it is possible to realize both static lighting control and dynamic lighting control so as not to exceed the 7-segment absolute maximum rating.

  Also, instead of performing such lighting control, the maximum value of forward current is 60 mA / seg (static), and the maximum value of peak forward current is 60 mA / seg (duty 1/5 pulse width 1 ms) (dynamic) It is also conceivable to use high quality 7 segments as defined. In this case, since the absolute maximum rating value is better than the above-mentioned 7 segments, the cost per part is naturally increased. If high quality 7 segments are used for all of the plurality of 7 segments for base value display (specifically, four 7 segment display sections 214a to 214d), it costs money. Therefore, among the 7 segments (7 segment display portions 214a to 214d) for displaying a plurality of base values, the 7 segments (7 segment display portion 214a) for displaying set values have 7 segments having an excellent absolute maximum rating value. In the other 7-segment (7-segment display sections 214b to 214d) for displaying the base value, 7-segments having low absolute maximum ratings may be used. As a result, it is possible to reduce the program capacity because it is possible to suppress the cost to the minimum necessary, and it is not necessary to perform pseudo dynamic lighting control using static lighting control during setting change or setting confirmation. it can.

  In addition, for 7 segments displaying the set value, 7 segments with excellent absolute maximum rating are used, but the maximum value of peak forward current and the maximum value of forward current are the same or more / It is sufficient to use 7 segments which is an approximate value smaller than that. Also, among those specified as the absolute maximum ratings of the other 7 segments for base value display, the maximum value of the forward current of 7 segments for setting value display is at least compared with the maximum value of the forward current. It is also possible to use one that is set to large. Furthermore, among the ones defined as absolute maximum ratings of 7 segments for base value display other than set value display combined, peak forward direction of 7 segments for set value display at least compared with the maximum value of peak forward current It is preferable to use one in which the maximum value of the current is set to the same value or an approximation value of more or less. As described above, in addition to the fact that the 7-segment for setting value display is superior to the 7-segment for base value display in terms of the absolute maximum rating of forward current, the absolute maximum rating of peak forward current is the same value. Or by using the one set to an approximate value of more or less, static lighting control during setting change or setting confirmation and dynamic lighting control in base value display during game are common 7 segments Even when it is necessary to use the system, it can be easily realized. Of course, a high spec 7 segment may be used for all of the plurality of 7 segments for base value display (including 7 segments for setting display).

  When it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, the game is stopped (the power-on wait state), but a security signal may be output via the external terminal at that time. The type of security signal output at that time may be the same as or different from the security signal output at the time of setting change or setting confirmation. At this time, an error may be displayed on the setting display unit 215. For the error display in that case, the lighting data may be transmitted to set a predetermined lighting mode, or alternatively, the lighting data and the light-off data may be alternately transmitted at a predetermined interval to obtain a predetermined blinking mode. Good. When part of the performance display means 216 is also used as the setting display means 215, an error display may be performed by the setting display means 215, and the other display parts in the performance display means 216 may be turned off. Not only the setting display unit 215 but also the performance display unit 216 may be configured to display an error.

  In addition, when setting information is displayed on the setting display unit 215, the lighting pattern corresponding to the current setting value is acquired from the setting display data table and displayed. However, for lighting data for error display, The lighting data may be output without using the setting display data table. This is because when the RAM is abnormal, the value of the setting value work is an abnormal value, and it is difficult to obtain an arbitrary value from the setting display data table based on the value of the setting value work. Therefore, when the RAM is abnormal, it is desirable that the value be directly specified and output, not the table selection method. In addition, this eliminates the need for a program for selecting data from the table, which makes it possible to reduce the program capacity.

  Alternatively, the security signal may be output when the RAM clear process is performed, and the security signal output during the setting change and the security signal output when the RAM clear process is performed may be a common signal. In the embodiment, the security signal is output during the setting change, and the output of the security signal is stopped when the setting change processing is completed, but the output of the security signal is maintained even after the setting change processing is completed. Alternatively, the output of the security signal may be stopped after the end of the RAM clear process. Further, in this case, the timing at which the output of the security signal is stopped is not limited to the end of the RAM clear processing, but may be a predetermined timing after the end of the RAM clear notification or during the RAM clear notification. In addition, since the security signal may be output for a predetermined time, the output of the security signal is further maintained for at least a predetermined time (for example, 50 ms) when performing the RAM clear processing after the setting change processing is completed. May be stopped. As a result, when executing the setting change process + the RAM clear process, it is possible to secure the output of the security signal for at least a predetermined time (50 ms).

  In addition, even if the setting change process is finished, the output of the security signal is temporarily stopped, and when the RAM clear process is performed after that, the security signal is output again for a predetermined time (for example, 50 ms). Good.

  In addition, although it is configured not to clear the information of the setting value when the RAM is cleared, even if it is configured not to clear other information, such as stop symbol information, error information, change pattern switching information, etc. Good. Here, by not clearing the information of the stop symbol at the time of RAM clear, it becomes a specification that can not be guessed from the stop symbol whether setting change processing + RAM clear processing has been executed or back-up has been restored. It is possible to make it difficult to determine whether or not the setting change has been made by confirming the stop symbol. In addition, by not clearing some or all of the error information when the RAM is cleared, it is possible to continue reporting an error or the like after predetermined power failure about predetermined error information generated before the power failure.

  In addition, after the setting change processing and the RAM clear processing, the switching information of the fluctuation pattern at the time of clearing the RAM (for example, switching from the fluctuation pattern selection table A to the fluctuation pattern selection table B if changing 50 times during high probability) is not cleared. Since the change pattern selection table A is switched to the change pattern selection table B when the predetermined number of symbol changes (50 rotations) are executed, for example, the symbol change game is performed by performing the predetermined number of times in the morning's first hole. It becomes possible to determine whether or not a change has been made. As described above, the interest of the game may be enhanced by making it easy to determine whether or not the setting change has been made. As described above, with regard to various works set in the RAM area, the work to be cleared by the RAM clear process and the work not to be cleared by the RAM clear process, for example, in consideration of game characteristics and security It may be configured to use properly. The above description is merely an example, and other works not described as an example may not be cleared in consideration of the improvement of the game property and the like.
