  The ball extraction member 143 divides the space between the inlet 141a and the ball outlet 141b below the inlet 141a, and has a partition 143a whose upper surface is lowered in the direction of the ball feeding member 144; Around an axis extending downward from the end opposite to the ball feeding member 144 and being bent in a V shape toward the lower center of the ball outlet 141b from near the middle in the vertical direction and the lower end extends in the front and rear direction , A rod-like operating rod 143c projecting forward from the upper end of the rotating rod 143b, and a lower part of the rotating rod 143b below the operating rod 143c And a weight portion 143d protruding from the side surface to the opposite side to the partition portion 143a. The operating rod 143c of the ball removal member 143 is formed to project forward through an arc-shaped slit 141c formed in the front cover 141 (see FIG. 35A). The actuating rod 143c moves downward by the pressing operation of the upper disc ball extraction button 222 of the disc unit 200 through the ball feeding opening 101e of the door frame base 101 (the upper end of the operation transmitting portion 242b of the upper disc ball extracting slider 242 Contact with the upper surface).

  The ball feeding member 144 is directed to the entrance 141a and the partitioning portion 143a of the ball removing member 143, and the blocking portion 144a having a fan-like plan view centering on the rotation axis extending in the vertical direction, and the back of the blocking portion 144a. It has a ball holding portion 144b which is recessed in an arc shape from the end toward the rotation axis, and a rod-shaped collar portion 144c which extends downward from the rear end of the ball holding portion 144b. The blocking portion 144a and the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 are formed adjacent to each other within an angle range of about 180 ° centered on the rotation axis. Further, the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 has a size capable of holding one gaming ball B. The ball feeding member 144 rotates around the rotation axis by moving the collar portion 144c disposed at a position eccentric to the rotation axis by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145 in the left-right direction.

  The ball feed member 144 has a supply position in which the ball holding portion 144b is in communication with the ball hitting supply port 142a at the same time as the blocking portion 144a faces the partition portion 143a, and the ball holding portion 144b has a partition portion 143a. It is pivoted between the directionally oriented holding position. When the ball feed member 144 is at the supply position, the gaming ball B held by the ball holding portion 144b is supplied from the ball hitting supply port 142a to the ball firing device 540 and enters the partition 143a from the entrance 141a. The movement of the gaming ball B to the ball holding portion 144b (ball hitting supply port 142a) side is blocked by the blocking portion 144a, and the gaming ball B remains on the partition portion 143a (the state of staying at the standby position). On the other hand, when the ball feeding member 144 is turned to the holding position, the ball holding portion 144b is directed to the partition portion 143a, and the ball holding portion 144b is closed at the ball feeding port 142a. Thus, only one game ball B on the partition portion 143a, which is the standby position, is held in the ball holding portion 144b.

  In addition, the ball feeding unit 140 has a ball feeding operation rod 146 whose tip is swung in the vertical direction by driving (energization) of a ball feeding solenoid 145, and a tip of the ball feeding movement rod 146 which is swung in the vertical direction. And a ball feeding crank 147 for pivoting the ball feeding member 144 around the vertically extending axis.

  The ball feed operating rod 146 is provided with an iron plate 146 a at a position below the ball feed solenoid 145. The ball feeding operation rod 146 extends left and right, and the end (right end) opposite to the ball feeding crank 147 is attached to the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142 so as to be rotatable about an axially extending axis. It is done. When the ball feed solenoid 145 is driven, the ball feed operation rod 146 pulls the iron plate 146a toward the ball feed solenoid 145 (upward) by the generated magnetic force, and the ball feed around the right end The left end side closer to the crank 147 is pivoted to move upward. After that, when the drive of the ball feed solenoid 145 is released, the magnetic force disappears and the weight of the iron plate 146a acts, and the left end side near the ball feed crank 147 moves downward around the right end. As it is pivoted back to its initial state. As a result, the ball feed operating rod 146 causes the left end portion (tip) near the ball feed crank 147 to swing in the vertical direction by the ball feed solenoid 145.

  The ball feeding crank 147 engages with an engaging portion 147a which is engageable with the vertically moving tip of the ball feeding operating rod 146 and extends in the left and right direction, and the ball feeding operating rod 146 of the engaging portion 147a. A shaft portion 147b disposed on the side opposite to the side and pivotally supported about an axis extending in the front-rear direction between the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142, and extending upward from the shaft portion 147b And a transmission portion 147c engaged with a rod-like collar portion 144c (see FIG. 36B) protruding downward from a position eccentric to the center of rotation of the ball feeding member 144.

  The ball feeding unit 140 moves the tip (left end) of the ball feeding operation rod 146 upward by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145, whereby the ball feeding crank 147 is moved through the ball feeding operation rod 146. It can be pivoted about an axis extending back and forth.

  When the ball feed solenoid 140 is not driven (normal time), the ball feed unit 140 is in a state where the ball feed operation rod 146 is separated from the lower end of the ball feed solenoid 145 and the tip is positioned downward. Then, the ball feeding member 144 is in the state of being positioned at the feeding position. Further, when the ball feed solenoid 145 is driven, the ball feed operation rod 146 is attracted to the lower end of the ball feed solenoid 145 and the tip (left end) is positioned upward, and the ball feed member 144 is held Turn to That is, when the ball feed solenoid 145 is driven (ON state), the ball feed member 144 receives one gaming ball B in the standby position, and the drive of the ball feed solenoid 145 is released (OFF And the gaming ball B received by the ball feeding member 144 can be sent (supplied) to the ball launching device 540 side. The drive of the ball feed solenoid 145 in the ball feed unit 140 is controlled in synchronization with the drive control of the launch solenoid 542 by the launch control unit 633b (see FIG. 151) of the payout control board 633.

  Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is configured to apply a moment so as to rotate in a counterclockwise direction in a front view by the ball extracting member 143 pivotally supported pivotally or by the weight portion 143 d. However, the actuating rod 143c projecting forward of the ball extracting member 143 abuts on the upper end of the operation transmitting portion 242b of the upper disc ball extracting slider 242 operated by the pressing operation of the upper disc ball extracting button 222 of the disc unit 200. In the normal state, since the rotation is restricted, the partitioning portion 143a of the ball removal member 143 is located between the entrance 141a and the ball removal hole 141b, and is separated. The game ball B does not intrude.

  Then, when the player presses the upper disc ball extraction button of the dish unit downward, the upper disc ball extraction slider slides downward with the operation transmission unit, and the movement lever 143c is moved with the movement of the operation transmission section downward. Will move relatively downward. When the actuating rod 143c moves downward together with the actuating transmission portion, the ball extracting member 143 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in a front view, and the partitioning portion 143a moves from between the entrance 141a and the ball outlet 141b to partition Is released. As a result, the gaming ball B entering from the entrance 141a drops toward the ball outlet 141b, and is discharged from the ball outlet 141b to the ball withdrawal guiding path 241c of the unit 240 after pulling out the upper ball in the tray unit 200, It can be discharged (supplied) to the lower tray 202 via the lower tray ball supply port 211c.

  In addition, since the upper disc ball removal slider 242 formed with the operation transmission part 242 b with which the operation rod 143 c of the ball removal member 143 abuts is biased upward by the spring 243, the game ball B on the partition part 143 a Can be absorbed by the spring 243 through the actuating rod 143c, so that breakage of the ball pullout member 143 etc. can be prevented, and the gaming ball B is a partition It is possible to prevent bouncing back at 143a.

  Further, the ball feeding unit 140 has a rectangular attachment recess 142b (see FIG. 36 (b) and the like) that is recessed forward in the upper right as viewed from the back of the bat supply port 142a of the rear cover 142. An operation line disabling member 700, which is a first fraud prevention means, is mounted so as to be accommodated in the mounting recess 142b. The operation line disabling member 700 of the ball feeding unit 140 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the inside of the mounting recess 142 b of the rear cover 142 from the rear side There is. In this case, invalidation of the operation line means that the operation of the irregular sphere can not be normally performed by cutting or pinching (stopping) the operation line, winding it up, bonding with hot melt or the like. It says to make it a state.

  The operation line invalidation member 700 is formed in a rectangular shape in which the outer shape in a front view extends left and right, and is separated into upper and lower portions substantially at the center in the vertical direction between predetermined distances from the right side to the left Inclined portions 703 each formed in a C-chamfered shape on the tip end side (the right end side in the front view) of the opposing sides of the portion 701 and the second piece portion 702 and the first piece portion 701 and the second piece portion 702 And have. The first piece 701 of the operation line invalidation member 700 is bent with respect to the flat plate surface of the operation line invalidation member 700 so that the right end in the front view in the rear view in FIG. On the other hand, the second piece portion 702 extends on the same plane as the flat surface of the operation line disabling member 700. Thus, in the plan view, the first portion 701 and the second portion 702 form a sheared portion 700v that spreads in a V-shape toward the right.

  The operation line invalidation member 700 is attached to the attachment recess 142 b of the rear cover 142 so that the V-shaped sheared portion 700 v formed by the first piece 701 and the second piece 702 is in the hitting supply port 142 a. It communicates with the

  According to this operation line invalidation member 700, an irregular ball (a game ball or a metal ball having substantially the same diameter as that of a game ball or the like) to which a flexible string-like operation line (a yarn, a piano wire, a wire or a linear member such as a catheter) is attached. Or, synthetic resin balls (of approximately the same diameter) are shot from the upper tray 201 through the ball feeding unit 140 into the game area 5a by the ball launcher 540, and are ejected to the upper tray 201 attached to the irregular sphere The ball firing device 540 plays a game when an operation line is operated to form an illegal ball flow path using an illegal ball, or an illegal action is performed such that an illegal ball is taken in and out of the first starting opening 2002 or the like. An operation line attached to the wrong ball is inserted between the first and second pieces 701 and 702 by the force of the wrong ball fired with a strength that can reach the area 5 a (hit ball). The first piece 701 and the second piece 702 Can be cut into as scissors by narrowed site of formation shear portion 700v, it is possible to suppress the fraud using a fraud sphere takes place thus invalidates the operating line.

  In addition, as a 1st fraud prevention means provided in the ball | bowl feed unit 140, not only the thing of an above-described form but another form may be sufficient. For example, if the operation line attached to the incorrect ball is cut or narrowed to suppress the cheating, the metal plate may be bent into a form different from the above or the operation line disabling member 700 may be bent. It is good also as composition provided, and it is good also as composition replacing with a metal plate and having a resin molded member which has a shape which can cut or narrow the operation line attached to a false ball.

  In addition, when the illegal ball is made of synthetic resin such as acrylic, the non-contact type (for example, proximity switch) of the metal game ball at the above-mentioned standby position (on the above-mentioned partition portion 143a) of the ball feeding unit 140. It is possible to prevent the firing of the illegal ball itself by detecting it with the sensor of (4) and adding the detection signal to the driving condition of the ball feeding solenoid 145 which is the electric feeding means. In the non-contact type sensor, an irregular ball made of synthetic resin is not detected, and the ball feeding solenoid 145 does not drive the ball feeding.

And the rear ball passage 150a that communicates with the lower ball ball passage unit 610 of the lower part of the main body frame 4 can be communicated with the lower full tank discharge passage 610b of the main body frame 4 And the ball receptacle 150b.

  In addition, the far cover unit 150 is opened upward at the right side in a front view of the full tank receptacle 150b, and the momentum is insufficient in spite of being fired from the firing rail 544 by the ball launching device 540 of the main frame 4. A far ball receiving portion 150c for receiving the game ball B (fall ball) dropped to the far ball drop opening 1013 formed between the firing rail 544 and the outer rail 1001 without reaching the inside of the game area 5a; The lower flat ball supply port 211c, which is a forward opening near the lower corner and discharges the gaming ball B received by the full ball receiving hole 150b and the far ball receiving portion 150c forward, as well as an opening for the bowl unit 200. Communication passage 150 for connecting the ball discharge port 150d communicating with the ball, the ball discharge port 150d (strictly speaking, the storage passage 150e described later) and the far ball receiving portion 150c It has a, and. The communication passage 150h is provided on the lower side of the bottom wall 150g of the far ball receiving portion 150c at an upper passage wall 150i disposed on the opposite side of the bottom wall 150g, and approximately one game ball from the upper passage wall 150i The lower passage wall 150j is disposed in parallel at a distance of 1 ball), and the start end is opened upward to the lower inclined end of the bottom wall 150g of the far ball receiving portion 150c, and the end is stored. It opens downward to the passage 150e.

  In addition, a series of paths from the far ball drop opening 1013 opened between the firing rail 544 and the outer rail 1001 through the far ball receiving portion 150c, the communication passage 150h and the storage passage 150e to the ball outlet 150d It is a passage, and a return passage 1014 is formed by these series of elements.

  Further, the foul cover unit 150 is formed between the full ball receiving hole 150b and the far ball receiving portion 150c and the ball discharging hole 150d by the unit main body 151 and the lid member 152, and stores a predetermined amount of gaming balls B. A reservoir passage 150e having a possible size is provided.

  The through ball passage 150 a is formed across both the unit body 151 and the lid member 152. The full tank receptacle 150 b and the far ball receptacle 150 c are formed in the unit main body 151. The ball outlet 150 d is formed in the lid member 152. The storage passage 150 e is formed by the unit main body 151 and the lid member 152.

  In addition, the flat cover unit 150 constitutes a part of the inner wall of the storage passage 150e, and the flat movable piece 153 whose lower end is rotatably attached to the unit main body 151 and the lid member 152; And a spring 155 for biasing the movable piece 153 toward the storage passage 150e. The full tank detection sensor 154 detects rotation in a direction away from the storage passage 150e.

  In the far cover unit 150, when the lower plate 202 of the plate unit 200 is filled with the gaming balls B and the gaming balls B are not released from the ball discharge port 150d to the lower plate 202 side, to some extent in the storage passage 150e. The number of game balls B can be stored. Then, when a certain number of gaming balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the weight of the gaming balls B moves the upper end of the movable piece 153 away from the storage passage 150e against the biasing force of the spring 155. As the movable piece 153 rotates, the rotation is detected by the full tank detection sensor 154. As a result, it can be determined that the lower plate 202 is full of gaming balls B, so if fullness is detected by the full detection sensor 154, the payout of more gaming balls B is stopped At the same time, it is possible to notify the player or a person in charge of the game hall of that effect, and to urge the player to eliminate the filling of the lower tray 202.

  Further, the foul cover unit 150 is attached to the lower side of the through ball passage 150 a on the rear side of the unit main body 151, and the dispensing passage opening / closing door of the lower full ball passage unit 610 in the dispensing unit 560 described later of the body frame 4. A door opening / closing contact portion 150f is provided, which can be in contact with the actuating projection 613a of 613 (see FIG. 109). The door opening and closing contact portion 150f is inclined so as to move forward as the rear surface goes downward. When the operation projection 613a of the dispensing passage opening / closing door 613 abuts on the door opening / closing abutment portion 150f, the dispensing passage opening / closing door 613 is rotated to lower end of the lower normal dispensing passage 610a and the lower full delivery passage 610b The front opening can be opened.

  In addition, the fal cover unit 150 is provided with an operation line invalidation member 7000 which is a second fraud preventing means for deterring fraud due to the illicit ball Q to which the operation line L is attached. An operation line disabling member 7000H, 7000S, which is a third fraud prevention means, is provided at the foul ball drop opening 1013 established between them.

  The second operation line disabling member 7000 provided in the false cover unit 150 is an internal space between the upper passage wall 150i of the communication passage 150h and the bottom wall 150g of the false ball receiving portion 150c. As shown in the figure, the convex portions 7001 on both sides are fitted and supported in the mounting holes 151h of the unit main body 151 and the mounting holes 152h of the lid member 152, and attached (bonded) to the upper surface of the upper passage wall 150i. Furthermore, it is covered and accommodated from the outside by the unit main body 151 and the lid member 152 so that it is difficult for the employee or the assembly machine worker or the like to make contact with the hand for safety reasons.

  A specific operation line invalidation member 7000 includes the same components as the operation line invalidation member 700 provided in the ball feeding unit 140, and corresponds to the first bent portion 701 in FIG. A V-shape opening in the direction opposite to the flow-down direction of the ball of the communication passage 150 h by the one piece 7010 and the second piece 7020 extended from the convex 7001 corresponding to the straight second piece 702 The sheared portion 7000 v of is formed.

  As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 40, the center of the V-shaped shearing portion 7000v of the operation line invalidation member 7000 of the cover unit 150 of the present embodiment is that of the lid member 152 constituting the far cover unit 150. It is disposed so as to be substantially flush with the inner surface and directed toward the shearing portion 7000v of the operation line disabling member 7000 at the folded portion of the bottom wall 150g of the ball receiving portion 150c and the upper passage wall 150i of the communication passage 150h. A tapered guiding portion 150k capable of guiding the operation line L is provided. Specifically, while the bottom wall 150g of the ball receiving portion 150c has a surface width necessary for the game ball to flow down on the upper surface, the bottom wall 150g is directed to the lid member 152 side at the folded portion with the upper passage wall 150i. The width is narrow toward the shearing portion 7000v of the operation line invalidation member 7000 along the lid member 152 so as to be continuous with the first inclined portion 150ka that descends to the operation line invalidation member 7000 side and the first inclination portion 150ka. And a tapered second guiding portion 150k having a tapered shape (a shape capable of capturing the operation line L). Then, when the operation line L, which is tensioned by rolling of the irregular ball Q or tension from the outside, is in sliding contact with the guiding portion 150k in a wound shape, the tension applied to the operation line L causes the second inclined portion 150ka to The operation line L is guided to the operation line disabling member 7000 so as to slide the inclined portion 150 kb of Thereby, the operation line L can be reliably captured by the operation line invalidation member 7000. In this way, it is responsible for the smooth flow of the normal balls and the guidance of the operation line L attached to the incorrect balls Q. In order to make it easier to capture the operation line L, corner portions of the first inclined portion 150ka and the second inclined portion 150kb of the guiding portion 150k may be formed in a curved shape.

  Since the second operation line disabling member 7000 provided in the fool cover unit 150 is configured as described above, the operation line L is set using the space communicating with the game area 5a from the lower ball supply port 211c. The illegal ball Q attached is made to enter the game area 5a, and the operation line L extending to the lower ball ball supply port 211c is operated to form an illegal ball flow path using the illegal ball Q, or illegal It is possible to prevent an unfair act that causes the ball Q to move in and out of the first starting opening and the like.

  For example, a fraudulent action such as pushing the wrong ball Q into the return passage 1014 from the lower bowl ball supply port 211c using a dedicated tool such as a cell plate and feeding it back to the firing position of the ball firing device 540 If the incorrect ball Q goes over the folded portion of the upper passage wall 150i of the communication passage 150h and the bottom wall 150g of the far ball receiving portion 150c to the firing position of the firing rail 544, When it is pulled (tension is applied), the operation line L turns around in the same U-turn along the same folding portion. Then, the operation line L is guided by the operation line invalidation member 7000 along the taper of the guiding portion 150k, and enters the V-shaped shearing portion 7000v formed by the first and second portions 7010 and 7020, and finally, Since the operation line L can not be operated as a result of disconnection, it becomes possible to inhibit an illegal act using the illegal sphere Q.

  In addition, a plurality of incorrect balls Q are connected to the operation line L, and one of them is sent from the hit ball supply port 142a to the firing position, and it is intentionally made into a far ball. Even when an illegal act (hereinafter referred to as "incorrect act B") is performed by grabbing the operation line L connected to the illegal ball that has become a far ball and firing the subsequent incorrect ball Q onto the game area 5a, The operation line L present at the folded back portion of the upper aisle wall 150i of the communication passage 150h and the bottom wall 150g of the far ball receiving portion 150c is pulled by the subsequent firing of the irregular ball Q (tension is applied) L is pressed against the same folded portion, and the operation line L enters the shearing portion 7000v and is cut in the same manner as described above, and as a result, the operation line L can not be manipulated, so that cheating using the illegal sphere Q can be suppressed. OK To become. 39 and 40 are explanatory views assuming the case where the injustice B is performed. In addition, for the above-mentioned fraudulent action B, there is a possibility that the operation line invalidation member 700 or the like as the first fraud prevention means can not sufficiently exert an effect on the fraudulent sphere Q which becomes a foul sphere (for example, it becomes a foul sphere Since the operation line L may not be invalidated by the first fraud prevention means even if the fraudulent ball Q is fired with a certain level of strength, the present embodiment reinforces the fraud prevention measures by the first fraud prevention means. It also has an effect. Therefore, when the fraudulent action B is to be performed, the operation line invalidation members 700 and 7000 as the first and second fraud prevention means and the operation line invalidation member 7000H as the third fraud prevention means described later. And 7000S as appropriate, and it is preferable to use a first operation line invalidation member 700 and another second operation line invalidation member 7000 or a third operation line invalidation member 7000H, 7000S. The pachinko machine 1 may be provided together. In this case, since the first operation line invalidation member 700 and the second operation line invalidation member 7000 are provided on the side of the door frame 3 so as not to be exposed to the outside together, they are hard to be noticeable Even if the door frame 3 is opened due to the trouble of the fraud countermeasure information is hard to leak. In addition, since the operation line invalidation members 700 and 7000 affect the crime prevention performance due to a reduction in sharpness, etc., it is easy to maintain the crime prevention performance if they are replaced together with the door frame 3.

  By the way, although the operation line invalidation members 700 and 7000, which are the first and second fraud prevention means described above, cut and invalidate the operation line L by the shearing portions 700v and 7000v, the operation line L is clamped. In other words, the operation line L is sandwiched between, for example, two metal plates 7011 and 7022 to make it impossible to push or pull the flexible operation line L, so that it is not possible to easily operate the irregular sphere Q connected to the operation line L May be invalidated.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the operation line invalidation member 7000 is formed of two metal plates 7011 and 7022 joined at the hatched portion in the enlarged view of FIG. The front half of the non-joining portion at the front end of the front end is expanded in a V shape to form the introduction guide portion 7033, and the second half of the non-joining portion is a stopper portion 7044. Such an operation line invalidation member 7000 is fixedly attached to the inner surface of the lid member 152, and further, it is difficult to contact the hands of an employee or a game machine assembler, etc., for safety reasons. And is covered and accommodated from the outside by a lid member 152.

  According to the operation line invalidation member 7000, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 42, the operation line L is pulled by the incorrect ball Q and the upper passage wall 150i of the communication passage 150h and the bottom wall 150g of the far ball receiving portion 150c. When the folded back portion is turned into a U-turn, it is guided to the operation line disabling member 7000 along the taper of the guiding portion 150k of the folded back portion, and the holding portion in the second half of the non-joined portion of the metal plate 7011 and the metal plate 7022 It is pinched and pinched by 7044 like tweezers.

  As a result, the incorrect ball Q backflowing from the lower flat ball supply port 211c due to the above-mentioned incorrect action A reaches the firing position of the launch rail 544, or the incorrect ball Q intentionally turned into a far ball by the incorrect action B. Can be prevented from reaching the lower flat ball supply port 211c, which is a ball opening, and the operation line L is pinched by the operation line disabling member 7000 even if it reaches it. Because of the presence of the flexible operation line L from the lower ball supply port 211c, it is only slackened there, and as a result, the extension amount of the operation line L can not be adjusted (the irregular ball Q hanging in the game area 5a Since the height can not be adjusted), it is possible to deter fraudulent acts using the illicit ball Q.

  In the embodiment described above, the front half portion of the non-joining portion of the two metal plates 7011 and 7022 is expanded in a V shape to form the introduction guide portion 7033 and the rear half portion of the non-joint portion is the stopper portion 7044 However, instead of this, one metal plate is bent so as to overlap the plate surfaces, and the leading end portion of one bent plate surface is expanded in a V shape to introduce the introduction guide portion 7033 (guide portion) It is good also as composition which makes a pinching part 7044 the narrow part of both plate faces. As a result, it is possible to improve the assembling work efficiency by reducing the number of parts of the metal plate while achieving the same effect as the above-mentioned fraud deterrence effect.

  Although not shown, the operation line invalidation member 7000 for holding the operation line L is provided with a double-sided tape in the gap of the second inclined portion 150 kb in FIG. Thus, the adhesive portion may be formed, and the operation line L thus induced to the second inclined portion 150 kb may be adhered to the adhesive portion and be immobile.

  Further, the operation line disabling member 7000 for holding the operation line L changes the above-described one composed of the two metal plates 7011 and 7022 into a coil spring as shown in FIG. The guiding direction of the second inclined portion 150 kb of the guiding portion 150 k may be installed and formed so as to be substantially orthogonal to the central axis of the self. The operation line L guided by the second inclined portion 150 kb is fitted and held between adjacent coils of the coil spring.

  It is to be noted that coil springs having a structure in which adjacent coils are in contact with each other at no load, such as tension coil springs or torsion coil springs, need to be installed in compression as in compression coil springs. It is advantageous in installation work compared with.

  Also, the coil spring may of course be installed in a straight state with no load, but as shown in FIG. 43, the coils on the entry side of the operation line L are curved and installed in a slightly expanding direction This is preferable because the approach of the operation line L becomes smoother. As described above, when the operation line invalidation member 7000 is formed of a coil spring, it can be manufactured inexpensively, so that the cost can be reduced.

  Further, a foreign substance such as a cell plate is inserted into the operation line invalidation member 7000 described above from the ball opening (lower bowl ball supply port 211c), and the induction plate 150k to the operation line invalidation member 7000 is blocked with this cell plate. In the form described above to cope with this, the course change portion (the portion corresponding to the upper surface of the lower ball supply port 211c in the present embodiment) of the return passage 1014 of the far ball is considered. A slit 1015 into which such a cell plate (foreign substance) enters is formed (see FIG. 39). As a result, it is also possible to prevent a further fraudulent attempt to insert a foreign substance from the opening for ball (the lower flat ball supply port 211c) to close the guiding portion 150k. In addition, as correspondence of the illegal work which inserts foreign substances, such as a cell board, from the opening for balls (lower bowl ball supply port 211c) and tries to block the induction part 150k, foreign substances such as the cell board as the above-mentioned slit 1015 The configuration is not limited to the one that forms the intake port, but as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 39, a configuration is provided that has a projection-like obstacle 1016 that causes foreign objects such as cell plates to collide and hinder reaching the induction 150k. As a further advanced fraud protection may be achieved.

  Also, the first and second operation line disabling members 700 and 7000 described above have a static structure that waits for entry of the operation line L to be disabled, but FIGS. 49, 50, and 51. As shown in FIGS. 52 and 53, a dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D may be used to actively invalidate the operation line L due to the presence of the incorrect sphere Q.

  49, 50, and 51 show one specific example of the dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D, and the operation line invalidation member 7000D is a ball return passage (return passage portion 1014). Is pivotally attached to a path change unit (a corner corresponding to the lower flat ball supply port 211c).

  That is, in FIG. 49, the operation line invalidation member 7000D has a horizontal plate-like ball receiving portion 2645, a plate-like invalidation portion 2646 vertically projecting from the right end of the ball receiving portion 2645, and a ball receiving portion 2645. And an arc-shaped ball stopper 2648 centered on the shaft hole 2647 which is provided on the right side of the upper edge of the invalidation section 2646, and has an axial hole 2647 formed at a corner where the invalidation section 2646 crosses A support shaft 2649 implanted in the fal cover unit 150 is rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 2647, and rotated about 90 ° counterclockwise from the ball receiving posture of FIG. 50 (a). It can swing to the release position. Further, a balance weight 2660 is provided on the opposite side of the ball receiving portion 2645 and the shaft hole 2647 of the invalidation portion 2646 in the operation line invalidation member 7000D, and the ball receiving portion 2645 is activated by the balance weight 2660. In the state where no external force (specifically, a load for one game ball) is applied, the ball receiving attitude of FIG. 50 (a) is maintained, while a load for one game ball is applied to the ball receiving portion 2645. When it is rocked to the release posture of FIG. 50 (b).

  Further, the end edge of the invalidation portion 2646 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D is an intersection side portion 2651 which pivots around the shaft hole 2647 and which crosses the far ball return passage (return passage portion 1014). When the disabling member 7000D swings to the release posture shown in FIG. 50 (b), the cross side 2651 is fitted to the receiving portion 2652 of the foul ball return passage.

  When a normal farball flows into the far cover unit 150 provided with the above-described dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D, this far ball flows in the communication passage 150h of the far ball return passage as shown in FIG. 50 (a). Immediately after flowing down and changing the course downward in the course changing portion, the ball is placed on the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D in the ball receiving posture. The load of the ball causes the operation line disabling member 7000D to rotate counterclockwise about the support shaft 2649 to change to the release posture shown in FIG. 50 (b). As a result, the ball placed on the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D is discharged to the storage passage 150e downstream, so the operation line invalidation member 7000D released from the far ball is attached to the balance weight 2660. Return to the original ball receiving posture by the force.

  In rare cases, there may be a case where a plurality of fall balls are generated at one time, but even in such a case, while the previous fall ball is processed by the operation line invalidation member 7000D, the later fall ball is as shown in FIG. Is stopped by the arc-shaped ball stopper 2648, and the operation line invalidation member 7000D is returned and subsequently processed. Therefore, even if a plurality of foul spheres are generated at the same time, they can be processed one by one without any problem.

  Next, the above-mentioned fraudulent action B (a plurality of incorrect balls Q are connected to the operation line L to the fal cover unit 150 provided with the dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D The ball is deliberately weakly fired to make a foul ball and removed from the lower ball supply port 211c, which is an opening for the ball, and further grasping the operation line L connected to the ball for subsequent fraud When an illegal ball Q flows into the game area 5a), the illegal ball Q flows down the communication passage 150h as shown in FIG. 51 (a), and the course changing portion changes the course downward. Immediately after, the ball is placed on the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D in the ball receiving posture. Then, due to the load of the incorrect ball Q, the operation line invalidation member 7000D rotates counterclockwise around the support shaft 2649 to change to the release posture of FIG. 51 (b). At this time, the invalidation part 2646 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D is also rotated, and the cross side 2651 of the end edge crosses the far ball return passage and is fitted to the receiving part 2652 on the passage side. When crossing the fowl ball return path, the operation line L passing through it naturally also crosses, so that the operation line L can not move between the crossing side 2651 and the receiving portion 2652 as shown in FIG. 51 (b) Stop. In this case, since the illegal ball Q connected to the operation line L can not be dropped, the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D is not released from the illegal ball Q and continues the release posture. Of course, since the operation line invalidating member 7000D is located at a position where it does not reach even if the hand is inserted from the lower flat ball supply port 211c which is an opening for balls, there is no possibility that the irregular ball Q stopping at this position is taken out from the outside.

  If reverse movement of the operation line L is made difficult by, for example, meandering the operation line L between the intersection side portion 2651 and the receiving portion 2652, the state captured in the operation line invalidation member 7000D It will also be difficult to pull the incorrect ball Q back to the hitting supply port 142a. Thereby, the irregular sphere Q remaining in the operation line invalidation member 7000D can be stored and recovered as a proof sphere.

  The above-described dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D utilizes the weight of the incorrect ball Q. However, even if the operation line invalidation member 7000D is operated by the electric drive means as shown in FIG. Good.

  That is, the operation line disabling member 7000D shown in FIG. 52 connects the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653 serving as the electric drive means to the portion provided with the above-described balance weight 2660 and a ball detector in the disabling portion 2646 of the operation line disabling member 7000D. 2655 is provided, and when the gaming ball is placed on the ball receiving portion 2645 and detected by the ball detector 2655, the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653 is raised and the operation line disabling member 7000D changes from the ball receiving posture to the release posture Also, when the game ball is released from the ball receiving portion 2645 and detected by the ball detector 2655 (change of signal from presence to absence of the game ball), the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653 is lowered to operate the operation line The invalidation member 7000D returns from the release position to the ball receiving position .

  When a normal ball is mounted on the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D, the generation and emission of the ball is detected by the change of the signal of the ball detector 2655, and the solenoid 2653 receives In order to operate appropriately, the balls are processed one by one in the same manner as the operation line invalidation member 7000D using the own weight.

  On the other hand, when the incorrect ball Q is placed on the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D, the incorrect ball Q is detected by the ball detector 2655, so the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653 is raised to invalidate the operation line. Although the member 7000D changes to the release posture with the incorrect ball Q, as described above, the operation line L is held between the intersection side portion 2651 and the receiving portion 2652 of the invalidation unit 2646 and the incorrect ball Q does not fall Since the ball detector 2655 does not emit a release signal, the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653 stops at the raised position. Therefore, since the unfair ball Q can not be taken out from the targeted ball opening, it is possible to prevent unfairness in advance.

  The above-described dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D cuts and invalidate the operation line L by providing a cutting blade at the intersection side 2651 and / or the receiving portion 2652 of the invalidation unit 2646. be able to. In addition, since the operation line invalidation member 7000D of the present embodiment has a function of blocking the intrusion of the incorrect ball Q from the ball opening side in a state where the ball receiving portion 2645 blocks the return passage portion 104, an incorrect ball described later It can also be used as means for preventing reverse travel. Therefore, a higher fraud prevention function is exhibited.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the dynamic operation line disabling member 7000D has a shutter plate structure that opens and closes the communication passage 150h by linearly advancing and retracting the disabling portion, for example, and the tip of the shutter plate The ball detector is installed in the middle of the flow path of the communication passage 150h and downstream from the movable area of the intersection side while passing through the movable area of the intersection side. After this, the irregular sphere Q is detected by this sphere detector to activate the nullifying portion, and the operation line L is then pinched or cut off at the intersection side across the communication passage 150h. It is also good.

  Also, the above-described dynamic operation line disabling member 7000D can be applied to the first operation line disabling member 700 of the ball feeding unit 140. Specifically, the ball feeding solenoid 145 provided in the ball feeding unit 140 is replaced with the solenoid 2653 of the operation line disabling member 7000D, and the ball feeding member 144 is replaced with the operation line disabling member 7000D. In this case, since the illegal ball Q stops in the ball feeding unit 140 and is not supplied to the ball launcher 540, the fraud suppressing effect can be surely enhanced.

  Further, FIG. 53 shows a dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D which winds up the operation line L to invalidate it.

  That is, the operation line disabling member 7000D is mounted in the communication passage 150h of the fal cover unit 150 so as to be rotatable about the rotation axis 2656 that is orthogonal to the passage, and the angular ring disabling portion 2646 is provided. And a horizontal bar crossing the communication passage 150h of the invalidation unit 2646 as the intersection side 2651 and provided downstream of the movable (rotational) area of the intersection side 2651. A sphere detector 2655 is provided, and the disabling unit 2646 is rotated once each time a sphere is detected by the ball detector 2655.

  When a normal farball flows into the far cover unit 150 provided with such an operation line invalidation member 7000D, this farball enters the communication passage 150h and passes through the invalidation section 2646, and the farball is detected as a ball. The invalidation unit 2646 idles once by being detected by the container 2655, but the foul sphere flows down as it is and is discharged from the ball opening to the outside.

  On the other hand, when the illegal ball Q due to the illegal act B flows into the fal cover unit 150 provided with the operation line invalidation member 7000D, the operation line L is also invalidated when the illegal sphere Q dives the invalidation unit 2646. Since the irregular sphere Q is detected by the sphere detector 2655 and the invalidation unit 2646 makes one rotation, the operation line L wraps around the invalidation unit 2646 because it passes through the conversion unit 2646. Therefore, since the illegal sphere Q remains in the communication passage 150h, there is no possibility that it will be in the hands of the illegal person.

  The sphere detector 2655 for detecting the irregular sphere Q may be displaced upon receiving the tension of the operation line L attached to the irregular sphere Q. In such a case, the irregular sphere Q can be detected with certainty. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate unnecessary idle rotation of the operation line disabling member 7000D that winds up the operation line L described above.

The above description of the dynamic operation line disabling member includes the following technical ideas.
"A game area where a game is played with a game ball,
A ball launcher for launching game balls;
A launch passage portion forming a launch ball passage communicating from the launch position of the sphere launcher to the gaming area;
A return passage portion forming a foul ball return passage connecting a foul ball drop opening established in the middle of the launch ball passage and a ball opening for releasing gaming balls to the outside in front of the machine;
The fraud prevention means capable of preventing the operation from the front of the operation line attached to the incorrect ball;
The fraud prevention means is an operation line invalidation member that inactivates by holding or cutting or winding the operation line,
The operation line invalidation member has an intersection side crossing the far ball return path of the game ball and activates the intersection side after the irregular sphere passes the movable area of the intersection side to activate the far side ball. A gaming machine characterized in that it is made to cross a return passage, and the operation line passing through the far ball return passage at the intersection side is stopped or cut or wound up. "

  Next, the third fraud prevention means provided at the above-mentioned foul ball drop opening 1013 is the end (end) of the firing rail 544 as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11, FIG. 39, FIG. And an operation line invalidation member 7000S provided at an end of the outer rail 1001 (specifically, a rail base 1001x made of resin).

  The operation line disabling member 7000H provided at the end of the launch side of the firing rail 544 is a sharp cutting blade, and a metal triangular plate is comb-shaped so that the operator's hand does not directly touch the cutting edge thereof. It covers with the safety cover part 1017 put in order. The cutting blade is supported by the safety cover portion 1017.

  Therefore, as described above, the illegal ball Q is pushed back into the return passage 1014 from the lower ball supply port 211c using a dedicated tool such as a cell plate and is fed back to the discharge position of the ball discharge device 540. When A is performed, when the incorrect ball Q is placed on the end of the firing rail 544 and rolled by inclination to the firing position, it is pulled (tension is applied) to it and the operating line L is the operating line disabling member It is cut by touching the 7000H cutting blade. Therefore, the operation line L can not be operated.

  In addition, a plurality of incorrect balls Q are connected to the operation line L, and one of them is sent from the hit ball supply port 142a to the firing position, and it is intentionally made into a far ball to be a ball opening lower ball supply port 211c. Even when an illegal act B is performed in which the operation line L connected to the illegal ball Q is fired to fire the subsequent illegal ball Q onto the game area 5a, the illegal ball Q becomes a far ball and the return passage 1014 Since the operation line L touches the cutting blade of the operation line disabling member 7000H in the process of falling, it is cut at that stage. Therefore, the operation line L can not be operated.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10, 39 and 47, the operation line disabling member 7000S provided on the resin-made rail base 1001x that constitutes the outer rail 1001 includes a large number of hard resin-made wire members in a brush shape. It will be erected.

  According to the operation line invalidation member 7000S, the incorrect ball Q temporarily hangs in a state where it reaches the game area 5a and is connected to the operation line L, and the lower control ball supply port which is an opening for the ball is the end of the operation line L Even if an illegal person is grasping through 211c, when the operation line L is pulled from the outside to raise the incorrect sphere Q of the game area 5a, the tension of the operation line L is caused by the tension between the wires of the operation line invalidation member 7000S. After that, even if the hand operating the operation line L is loosened to lower the incorrect ball Q, the operation line L is not easily slipped due to the resistance received from the wire group of the operation line disabling member 7000S. The movement of the hand loosened from the ball is not transmitted to the wrong ball Q. That is, since the injustice ball Q in the game area 5a can not be lowered, it is possible to suppress the injustice using the injustice ball Q as a result.

  Thus, in the third fraud prevention means, the operation line disabling member 7000H on the side of the firing rail 544 exerts an effect at the initial stage of the fraudulent acts A and B, and even if it is broken, the outer rail 1001 Since the operation line disabling member 7000S on the side exerts an effect, a higher degree of fraud prevention effect can be obtained.

  Of course, either one of the operation line invalidation members 7000H and 7000S can be used alone, and both the operation line invalidation member 7000H and the specific invalidation member of the operation line invalidation member 7000S can be used. The forms may be interchanged, or the same invalidation member may be adopted.

  In addition to the case where the operation line invalidation members 7000H and 7000S are separately assembled as in this embodiment and attached to the firing rail 544 and the outer rail 1001, for example, the metal plate constituting the firing rail 544 is appropriately processed to invalidate the operation line The integral member 7000H is integrally formed, or a wire is integrally formed on the resin rail base 1001x forming the outer rail 1001, or a V groove shape is formed at the corner of the rail base 1001x as shown in FIG. 8B. The clamping portion 7000Sv may be engraved and the operation line L may be drawn and clamped in the back of the groove of the clamping portion 7000Sv.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 48, the operation line invalidation member 7000S of the outer rail 1001 has the same configuration as the second operation line invalidation member 7000, for example, the two metal plates 7011 described in FIGS. , 7022, and the guide base 1501x formed of the first inclined portion 150ka and the second inclined portion 150kb may be provided on the rail base 1001x of the outer rail 1001.

  As described above, regarding the embodiment in which the second operation line invalidation member 7000 for invalidating the operation line L attached to the incorrect ball Q is provided in the return passage portion 1014, the third operation line invalidation member 7000 is Although the form provided in the drop opening 1013 has been described, the present invention is of course not limited to the form described above.

  For example, in the embodiment described above, the operation line disabling member 7000 is provided at the folded portion of the bottom wall 150g of the ball receiving portion 150c and the upper passage wall 150i of the communication passage 150h, that is, at the entrance of the communication passage 150h. An outer rail provided with a disabling member 7000 at the outlet portion of the communication passage 150h (see arrow z in FIG. 39), at the rear of the ball outlet 150d in FIG. The operation line L is a portion where the operation line L is bent in contact with a part of the return passage 1014, such as provided at each of the start end of 1001 and the end of the firing rail 544. Provided at any position in the return passage 1014 on the condition that it is a portion that receives a pressing force when trying to straighten under tension due to a tensile force by the user It may be. The installation position of the operation line invalidation member 7000 in this embodiment is a position where the player can not touch even if the player inserts a fingertip through the ball opening, and this position is the player's safety surface and operation line invalidation. It is preferable in consideration of a crime prevention surface that makes it difficult to tamper with the conversion member 7000 itself.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation line invalidation member 7000 is provided to be offset to one side of the communication passage 150h, but as the operation line invalidation member 7000 as shown in FIGS. 44 (a) and (b) A cutting blade may be arranged. In FIGS. 44 (a) and 44 (b), the end portion of the bottom wall 150g of the ball receiving portion 150c and the start end portion of the communication passage 150h are comb-shaped safety cover portions 1017 so that the cutting edge of the cutting blade is a worker Do not touch the The cutting blade of the operation line invalidation member 7000 in this case uses a known blade structure or tip structure and is installed in the sheath-like holder portion 1018 on the upper surface of the upper passage wall 150i and the unit main body 151 If a loading port 1019 and a discharge port 1020 are provided in each of the lid members 152 so that the cutting blade can be pushed out in a grater manner for replacement between new and old, sharp sharpness can always be maintained. In FIGS. 44 (a) and 44 (b), reference numeral 1021 denotes a holding parting line for the operation line L cut into the valley part of the safety cover 1017, and the operating line L can bite into the holding parting line 1021. It is supposed to be. Therefore, even if the operation line invalidation member 7000 of the cutting blade fails to cut the operation line L, the operation line L can bite into the holding parting line portion 1021 such as the bottom wall 150g or the like. improves.

  In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the balls are returned to the lower plate, but there is also a gaming machine having a structure in which the balls are returned to the upper plate (including the case where there is no lower plate). In this case, the illegal ball Q having the operation line L attached is made to enter the game area 5a using the space communicating with the game area 5a from the upper ball and ball supply port (opening for ball) (the above-mentioned illegal acts A and B Cheating) may be performed. In the case of such a gaming machine, it is exemplified that the second fraud preventing means is provided at a predetermined portion of the foul return passage located in the space communicating with the gaming area 5a from the upper ball feeding port as in the embodiment described above. it can.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned form, although the fall cover unit 150 which comprises the return channel | path part 1014 was provided in the door frame 3 side, you may provide the fall cover unit 150 in the main body frame 4 side.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned form, although one second fraud prevention means was provided in the foul cover unit 150 which comprises the return channel | path part 1014, you may make it provide multiple. For example, in the case of a passage configuration in which a plurality of bent portions such as the above-described folded portion are formed in the return passage portion 1014, the second portion such as the above-described embodiment may be formed in each of the bent portions (in each of the folded portions). A means for preventing fraud may be provided. Thereby, it is possible to further enhance the deterrence effect of the fraudulent acts using the fraudulent sphere Q.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the metal cover is provided as the second fraud prevention means in the fall cover unit 150 which constitutes the return passage 1014, but not the metal sheet but the resin molded product having the same configuration is provided. Alternatively, the molding itself of the fal cover unit 150 may be made into a special shape so as to function as a second fraud prevention means. For example, without forming the metal plate which is the second fraud prevention means in the above-mentioned form, it is tapered instead provided in the return portion of the bottom wall 150g of the far ball receiving portion 150c and the upper passage wall 150i of the communication passage 150h. In order to capture the operation line L at the narrowest portion (the narrowest portion) of the guide portion 150k of the second embodiment, a slit-like capture portion is formed in the resin molded component that constitutes the return passage portion 1014, The operation line L attached to the irregular sphere Q may be held by the capture portion which is the narrowest portion of the guide portion 150k. Even with such a configuration, the same fraud suppression effect as that of the embodiment described above can be obtained.

  In the above-described embodiment, the operation line L attached to the incorrect ball Q is cut or clamped by the operation line invalidation member 7000. However, as shown in FIG. , FIG. 46 and FIG. 49, it prevents the entry of the wrong ball Q from the ball opening without affecting the flow of the normal far ball (does not reverse or reverse the wrong ball Q). By providing the means for preventing the movement, it is possible to prevent the fraud due to the fraud sphere Q.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 45, for example, a dedicated tool such as a cell plate (foreign substance) that pushes the incorrect ball Q into the path changing portion of the return passage portion 1014 (the portion corresponding to the upper right of the lower flat ball supply port 211c). Not only that, but it can be illustrated that the attractor 1022 is provided to attract the incorrect sphere Q itself to another passage and seal the movement (first incorrect sphere reverse prevention means). In this way, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent action such as the fraudulent action A described above that backflows the fraudulent sphere Q without affecting the flow of the normal farball. In addition, at the inlet portion of the inducer 1022, a capture valve (permits intrusion into the attractor 1022) which can swing only in the direction of intrusion of the counterfeit ball Q into the inducer 1022, and from the attractor 1022 A single-opening type valve (not shown) may be provided to make it impossible to withdraw, whereby it is possible to leave a trace of using the wrong ball Q and a proof of performing a wrongdo.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 46, a check valve 1023 which can be swung only in the flow-down direction of the game ball is provided at a predetermined portion of the return passage 1014 to prevent reverse movement of the incorrect ball Q. Yes (2nd illegal ball reverse prevention means). With such a configuration, it is also possible to prevent a cheating action that backs up a cheating ball Q such as the cheating action A described above without affecting the flow of normal far balls. The operation line disabling member 7000D shown in FIG. 49 is also a kind of check valve, and exhibits the same effect as the check valve 1023.

  Also, the above-described static operation line invalidation member and dynamic operation line invalidation member may naturally be combined.

  In the above-described embodiment, the operation line invalidation member different from the first operation line invalidation member 700 is provided in the return passage 1014, but such an operation line invalidation member may be, for example, a fall ball drop opening 1013 and the like. It may be provided between the launch position or between the ball drop outlet 1013 and the upper end of the inner rail 1002.

[3-2. Glass unit]
The glass unit 160 in the door frame 3 will be described in detail with reference mainly to FIGS. 30 and 31 and the like. The glass unit 160 is removably inserted from the rear into the glass unit attachment portion 101 h so as to close the door window 101 a of the door frame base 101 of the door frame base unit 100. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the glass unit 160 enables the game area 5 a of the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4 to be visible from the player side (forward) It closes the front of the area 5a.

  The glass unit 160 has a frame-like glass frame 161 attachable to the glass unit attachment portion 101h larger than the inner peripheral shape of the door window 101a of the door frame base 101, and the inside of the glass frame 161 closed. Two transparent glass plates 162 attached to 161 and a pair of glass units rotatably attached to the rear side of the door frame base 101 of the door frame base unit 100 for attaching the glass frame 161 to the door frame base 101 And a mounting member 163.

  The glass frame 161 has a pair of mounting pieces 161a extending flatly outward from a position lower than the front left and right upper corners, and a band projecting downward from the lower end and extending along the lower side And a plate-like locking piece 161b. The mounting piece 161 a of the glass frame 161 can be in contact with the projection 163 b of the glass unit mounting member 163. The locking piece 161 b is insertable into the space between the door frame base 101 and the intermediate reinforcing frame 114 of the door frame reinforcing unit 110 (see FIG. 116). The two glass plates 162 are attached to the front end side and the rear end side of the glass frame 161, respectively, and are separated in the front and back direction so as to form a space between each other (see FIG. 116).

  The glass unit attachment member 163 has a disk-like base 163a rotatably mounted around an axis extending back and forth on the rear side of the door frame base 101, and a bar-like projection from the base 163a in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis. And a protruding portion 163b. The glass unit attachment members 163 are rotatably attached to the outside of the upper two corners of the four corners of the door window 101 a on the rear surface of the door frame base 101.

  In order to attach the glass unit 160 to the door frame base 101, first, the glass unit attachment member 163 attached to the door frame base 101 is rotated so that the protrusion 163b is positioned above the base 163a. Do. Then, from the rear side of the door frame base 101, the locking piece 161b of the glass frame 161 of the glass unit 160 is inserted from above into the gap between the door frame base 101 and the intermediate reinforcing frame 114 of the door frame reinforcing unit 110. Above, the front end of the glass frame 161 is brought into contact with the rear surface of the glass unit attachment portion 101 h of the door frame base 101. Thereafter, the glass unit attachment member 163 is rotated so that the protrusion 163b is located below the base 163a, and the protrusion 163b is brought into contact with the rear surface of the attachment piece 161a of the glass frame 161. Thereby, the glass unit 160 is attached to the door frame base 101.

  When removing the glass unit 160 from the door frame base 101, it can be removed by the reverse procedure to the procedure mentioned above. Thereby, the glass unit 160 is detachable with respect to the door frame base 101 (door frame base unit 100).

  In the glass unit 160, the protrusion 163b restricts the rearward movement of the glass frame 161 by the protrusion 163b when the protrusion 163b of the glass unit attachment member 163 is located below the base 163a. Therefore, even if vibration or the like acts on the glass unit attachment member 163, the protrusion 163b does not rotate to a position above the base portion 163a. Therefore, the restriction of the backward movement of the glass frame 161 is not naturally released, and the glass unit 160 does not naturally come off the door frame base 101.

[3-3. Security cover]
The crime prevention cover 170 in the door frame 3 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. The crime prevention cover 170 is attached to the rear side of the door frame base unit 100 so as to cover the lower part of the rear surface of the glass unit 160, and is formed of a transparent synthetic resin. Security cover 170 is disposed with a flat plate-like main body portion 171 whose outer periphery is formed in a predetermined shape, a flat plate-like rear projection 172 projecting short rearwardly along the outer peripheral edge of main body portion 171, and left and right And a pair of locking pieces 173 that project forward beyond the main body 171 and can be locked to the rear side of the door frame base 101.

  The main body portion 171 of the crime prevention cover 170 is formed so that the lower end thereof protrudes below the lower end of the glass unit 160 in a state of being attached to the door frame base unit 100. Further, the main body portion 171 is formed in a shape along the lower end of the game area 5 a in the game board 5 in a state where the upper end is assembled to the pachinko machine 1. More specifically, the upper end of the main body 171 is formed along a portion of the inner rail 1002 of the front component 1000 described later, the out guiding portion 1003, a portion of the lower right rail 1004, and the right rail 1005 It is formed so as not to protrude into the game area 5 a in a state where it is assembled in the pachinko machine 1.

  The rear protrusion 172 is formed over substantially the entire outer peripheral edge of the main body 171. Therefore, the crime prevention cover 170 is formed in the shape of a shallow box opened rearward by the main body portion 171 and the rear projection 172, and its strength and rigidity are high. Further, the rear protrusion 172 also protrudes rearward from a part of the rear surface of the main body 171 which is different from the outer peripheral edge of the main body 171. A rear projection 172 projecting rearward from a part of the rear surface of the main body 171 is formed along a part of the outer rail 1001 of the front component 1000 of the game board 5 in a state assembled to the pachinko machine 1 ing.

  The rear projection 172 is not formed in a portion of the game board 5 located between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 in the state of being assembled in the pachinko machine 1. As a result, the game ball B (the game ball B fired by the ball launcher 540) passing between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 does not abut the rear projection 172 of the security cover 170, and the game area It does not prevent the game ball B from being driven into 5a.

  The pair of locking pieces 173 is resiliently locked to the rear side of the door frame base unit 100 (the speaker duct 103 and the cable cover 109). Thereby, the crime prevention cover 170 can be easily attached to and detached from the door frame base unit 100.

  In the state where the crime prevention cover 170 is assembled in the pachinko machine 1, the front surface of the main body 171 abuts on the rear surface of the glass unit 160 (the rear end of the glass frame 161), and the part projecting backward from the lower side of the main body 171 is The removed rear projection 172 is inserted into the security recess 1009 of the front component 1000. Further, the security cover 170 is in a state where the rear projection 172 projecting backward from the lower side of the main body 171 projects rearward than the front surface of the front component 1000 so as to contact the lower surface of the front component 1000. . Thus, the space between the crime prevention cover 170 and the game board 5 (the front component 1000) is intricately bent by the rear projection 172 of the crime prevention cover 170 and the crime prevention recess 1009 of the front component 1000. Even if an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire is made to enter the game area 5a from below the front of the board 5 between the crime prevention cover 170 and the front component 1000, it will be blocked by the rear projection 172 and the crime prevention recess 1009. , And can prevent unauthorized tools from entering the gaming area 5a.

[3-4. Handle unit]
The handle unit 180 in the door frame 3 will be described in detail with reference mainly to FIG. 54 and the like. FIG. 54 (a) is an exploded perspective view of the handle unit in the door frame as viewed from the front, and (b) is an exploded perspective view of the handle unit as viewed from the rear. The handle unit 180 is attached to the handle attachment member 102 (see FIGS. 30 and 32 to 34) of the door frame base unit 100, and operated by the player, the gaming ball B in the upper tray 201 is Of the game area 5a.

  The handle unit 180 covers the handle base 181 attached to the cylindrical portion 102 a of the handle attachment member 102 in the door frame base unit 100, the handle 182 rotatably attached to the front end of the handle base 181, and the front end side of the handle 182 A cover base 183 attached to the handle base 181, a handle decoration substrate 184 mounted on the front side of the cover base 183 and having a plurality of LEDs mounted on the front surface, and a front side of the handle decoration substrate 184 And a handle cap 185 attached to the cover pedestal 183.

  Further, the handle unit 180 is rotatably attached by an inner base 186 attached to the front of the handle base 181 on the rear side of the handle 182 and a handle 182 at the front end and rotatably attached by the inner base 186 and the handle base 181 It has a shaft member 187 having a drive gear portion 187a, a transmission gear 188 meshing with the drive gear portion 187a of the shaft member 187, and a detection shaft 189a integrally rotating with the transmission gear 188, and a handle base 181 and an inner And a handle rotation detection sensor 189 held between the base 186 and the base.

  Furthermore, the handle unit 180 is attached at one end to the handle base 181 and at the other end to the handle 182 to return the handle 182 to the initial rotation position (rotation start in the counterclockwise direction in front view). One end side is attached to the inner base 186 and the other end side is attached to the transmission gear 188, and the detection shaft 189a of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is clockwise in a front view through the transmission gear 188. And an auxiliary spring 191 biased in a direction.

  Further, the handle unit 180 has a handle touch sensor 192 attached to the handle base 181 at the rear of the inner base 186 and a tip end projecting outward from the left side in a front view of the front end outer peripheral surface of the handle base 181 A single-shot button 193 attached to the handle base 181 and a single-shot button 193 rotatably mounted around an axis extending back and forth to the handle base 181 at the end side behind the inner base 186 and a single-shot button attached to the handle base 181 And an operation sensor 194.

  The handle base 181 of the handle unit 180 extends inward from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical base 181a extending in the front and rear direction, the disk-like front end 181b radially projecting from the front end of the base 181a, and the cylindrical base 181a. And three grooves 181c extending in the axial direction and formed at irregular intervals in the circumferential direction. The outer diameter of the base portion 181 a of the handle base 181 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 102 a of the handle attachment member 102. Further, the three grooves 181 c are formed at positions corresponding to the three ridges 102 c of the cylindrical portion 102 a of the handle attachment member 102. Therefore, the base portion 181a can be inserted into the cylindrical portion 102a of the handle mounting member 102 in a state in which the three groove portions 181c coincide with the three ridges 102c, and the ridges 102c are respectively inserted in the three groove portions 181c. By being inserted, the handle base 181 can not be rotated relative to the handle attachment member 102.

  The handle 182 includes four first protrusions 182a, second protrusions 182b, third protrusions 182c, and fourth protrusions 182d, which protrude outward in a circumferential direction away from the outer peripheral surface, and a rotation shaft (shaft member 187). Two slits 182e extending in a circular arc shape as a center and penetrating in the front-rear direction, and projecting backward from a position inside with respect to the rotation center with respect to the slit 182e, the other end side of the handle return spring 190 is locked And a locking projection 182f.

  The four first protrusions 182a, the second protrusions 182b, the third protrusions 182c, and the fourth protrusions 182d are sequentially provided in the clockwise direction in front view. More specifically, the first protrusion 182a has a side in the clockwise direction in a front view clockwise direction of a portion of the handle 182 that protrudes most from the general outer peripheral surface bulging outward, and the opposite side is counterclockwise. The side of the direction is concave (curled) to curve inward. The portion of the second protrusion 182b that most protrudes from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 182 is separated from the most protruding portion of the first protrusion 182a in the clockwise direction by a rotation angle of about 85 degrees. Is slightly lower. The second protrusion 182 b is configured such that the side surface in the clockwise direction in the front view clockwise bulges outward and the side surface in the counterclockwise direction on the opposite side curves inward. And is formed in a shape similar to the first protrusion 182a.

  The third protrusion 182c has a portion most projecting from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 182 away from the most protruding portion of the second protrusion 182b in the clockwise direction at a rotational angle of about 70 degrees. It protrudes at about half height. The side surfaces of both sides of the third protrusion 182c are inclined substantially linearly, and the side surface in the clockwise direction is inclined more gently than the side surface in the counterclockwise direction which is the opposite side. In the fourth protrusion 182d, the most protruding part from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 182 is separated from the most protruding part of the third protrusion 182c in the clockwise direction at a rotation angle of about 55 degrees from the first protrusion 182a It also protrudes slightly high. The side surfaces of both sides of the fourth protrusion 182 d are inclined in a substantially linear shape, and are formed in a substantially isosceles triangle.

  The cover pedestal 183 is formed in a disk shape, and includes three mounting bosses 183 a protruding rearward from the rear surface. The three mounting bosses 183 a are attached to the front surface of the handle base 181 by penetrating the slit 182 e of the handle 182 from the front. Since the mounting boss 183a of the handle cap 185 penetrates the slit 182e of the handle 182, the mounting boss 183a abuts on the circumferential end of the slit 182e, thereby restricting the rotation angle of the handle 182. In the present example, the handle 182 can be rotated within a range of approximately 120 degrees of rotation.

  The front face of the handle cap 185 bulges forward and has a light transmitting property. The handle cap 185 is internally provided with a three-dimensionally formed lens member of a transparent member. The handle cap 185 can be lighted and decorated by appropriately emitting the LED on the front surface of the handle decoration substrate 184.

  The handle unit 180 is attached to the handle attachment seat surface 101 b of the door frame base 101 via the handle attachment member 102. The handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101 is inclined so that the right end is positioned more rearward than the left end in plan view and faces the outside (the open side). The handle unit 180 to be attached via is also inclined outward in plan view (in other words, its tip is inclined to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line perpendicular to the front of the pachinko machine 1). It is attached and fixed to the door frame 3. As a result, the player can easily hold the handle 182 of the handle unit 180, and can make the user perform the turning operation without a sense of discomfort.

  The handle rotation detection sensor 189 of the handle unit 180 is a variable resistor, and when the handle 182 is rotated, the detection shaft 189 a of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is rotated via the shaft member 187 and the transmission gear 188. The internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 189a, and the driving force of the emission solenoid 542 in the ball emission device 540 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189. The game ball B is driven into the game area 5a with the strength according to the rotation angle of the handle 182, that is, the strength input by the player.

  The handle touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting on the handle unit 180, and when the player contacts the handle 182 or the like, the static electricity acting from the player is detected, and the handle 182 or the like of the player is detected. Detect contact. Then, when the handle touch sensor 192 detects the player's touch, when the handle 182 is turned, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the firing solenoid is applied with the strength according to the rotation angle of the handle 182. The drive of 542 is controlled, and the game ball B can be hit. That is, even if the player tries to hit the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 182 in some way without touching the handle 182, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the player's contact. Thus, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B can not be hit. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from playing the game by rotating the handle 182 in a method different from the original method, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) associated with the gaming hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. .

  Also, when the player presses the one-shot button 193 while the player is rotating the handle 182, the one-shot button manipulation sensor 194 detects the operation of the one-shot button 193, and the firing control portion 633b of the payout control board 633 The drive of the firing solenoid 542 is stopped. Thus, the firing of the game ball B can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotation operation of the handle 182, and by releasing the pressing operation of the one-shot button 193, the operation before the one-shot button 193 is performed. The game ball B can be re-injected into the game area 5a by the driving strength.

  Furthermore, the handle unit 180 includes, in the handle 182, four first protrusions 182a, second protrusions 182b, third protrusions 182c, and fourth protrusions 182d, and the handle 182 is largely rotated in a clockwise direction as viewed from the front. And when the game ball B is strongly hit into the game area 5a (so-called "right-handed"), the position of the first protrusion 182a when the fourth protrusion 182d does not rotate the handle 182 The player can maintain the handle 182 at the “right-handed” position in a comfortable state by replacing the fourth protrusion 182 d with the first protrusion 182 a. It is possible to reduce the feeling of tiredness and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

The annular portion 380 b has an inner diameter that is substantially the same as that of the cylindrical portion 378 b of the outer peripheral substrate cover 378.

  When the effect operation button unit 360 is assembled, as shown in FIG. 78 (a), the guide pin 364d of the elevation base 364 is in a state where the elevation base 364 is biased upward by the pair of elevation springs 365, The locking portion 371 c of the cam portion 371 a of the lift cam member 371 is inserted from below. In this state, the lift base 364 is in the lowered position where it has moved downward, and the pair of lift springs 365 are compressed. Further, in this state, the central button main body 373 is positioned at the upward moving end by the biasing force of the button spring 374, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes above the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 It has become.

  Therefore, when assembled in the rendering operation unit 300, the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 protrudes slightly above the upper surface of the rendering operation ring 330, and the upper surface of the center button cover 375 is from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 Also project upward (see FIG. 79 etc.).

  In this state (the state shown in FIG. 78A), when the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation portion 303a) is pressed downward and moved downward against the biasing force of the button spring 374, the center button main body 373 The pressing detection piece 373 e is detected by the pressing detection sensor 381, and the pressing operation of the central pressing operation unit 303 a is detected. In a state in which the center pressing operation portion 303a is pressed, the upper surface of the center button cover 375 has a height substantially coincident with the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 (see FIG. 81 (c)).

  Further, in this state, even if the outer peripheral button cover 380 (the outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b) is pressed downward, the outer peripheral button cover 380 does not move downward, and the pressing detection piece 373e of the central button main body 373 It is not detected by the detection sensor 381. That is, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is not detected.

  In this lowered position, when the lift drive gear 368 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction in plan view by the operation button lift drive motor 367, the lift cam is driven through the driven gear 369 engaged with the lift drive gear 368. The gear member 370 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in plan view, and the lift cam member 371 connected to the lift cam drive gear member 370 also rotates in the same direction. When the lift cam member 371 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the cam portion 371a seen from the front in FIG. 78 is moved to the right, and the guide pin 364d of the lift base 364 is moved from the locking portion 371c to the first position. While rolling to the left portion of the locking portion 371c in one cam 371b, the elevating base 364 moves downward against the biasing force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

  Then, when the guide pin 364d, which rolls relative to the left along the first cam 371b with the rotation of the lift cam member 371, is positioned from the left end of the first cam 371b to the second cam 371d side, Since the two cams 371d extend vertically upward with respect to the first cam 371b, the biasing force of the lift spring 365 causes the guide pin 364d to move upward along the second cam 371d. At the same time, the lifting base 364 is raised to be in the raised position.

  In the raised position, as shown in FIG. 78 (b), the guide pin 364d of the lifting base 364 is in contact with the second cam 371d of one cam portion 371a and the third cam 371e of the remaining cam portion 371a. It is in the state. In this state, the drive of the operation button elevation drive motor 367 is temporarily stopped.

  In the raised position, the upper end of the vertical wall 364c of the lifting base 364 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper base 363, and the further upward movement of the lifting base 364 is restricted. In the state of the raised position, the positional relationship between the central button cover 375 (central pressing operation portion 303 a) and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303 b) at the lowered position is maintained. The entire pressing operation portion 303 including the outer peripheral button cover 380 moves upward, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes higher than the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380.

  When the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are projected to be larger than the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330 when moved to the raised position in a state assembled in the effect operation unit 300 (FIG. 81 (b) etc. reference).

  When the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation portion 303 a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the biasing force of the button spring 374 in the raised position, the center button cover 375 and the center button main body 373 are attached with the button spring 374. It moves downward against the force, and the central button body 373 comes in contact with the lift base 364. In a state where the central button main body 373 is in contact with the elevation base 364, the pressing detection piece 373 e of the central button main body 373 protrudes downward relative to the elevation base 364, but the elevation base 364 is a button unit base 361. Because the pressure detection piece 373 e is not detected by the pressure detection sensor 381.

  When the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation portion 303 a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the biasing force of the elevation spring 365, the center button cover 375 and the center button main body 373 resist the biasing force of the button spring 374, After the center button body 373 contacts the lift base 364, the lift base 364 moves downward against the biasing force of the lift spring 365, and the lower end of the lift base 364 contacts the button unit base 361. Become. When the elevating base 364 abuts on the button unit base 361, the elevating base 364 is in the lowered position, and along with the elevating base 364, the outer peripheral button cover 380 (the outer peripheral pressing portion 303b) is also in the lowered position.

  As described above, when the lifting base 364 contacts the button unit base 361 in a state where the center button main body 373 contacts the lifting base 364, the pressing detection piece 373 e of the center button main body 373 protruding downward from the lifting base 364 However, the pressure is detected by the pressure detection sensor 381, and the pressure on the center button cover 375 (center pressure operation unit 303a) is detected.

  On the other hand, when the outer peripheral button cover 380 (the outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b) is pressed downward by a force more than the biasing force of the elevating spring 365 in the state of the raised position, the elevating base 364 lifts the elevating spring The lower end of the lifting base 364 abuts on the button unit base 361 by moving downward against the urging force of 365. In this state, the outer peripheral button cover 380 is in the lowered position together with the elevation base 364, but since the central button cover 375 (central pressing operation portion 303 a) protrudes upward by the biasing force of the button spring 374, the central button main body The pressing detection piece 373 e does not protrude downward from the elevation base 364, and the pressing detection piece 373 e is not detected by the pressing detection sensor 381.

  In order to return the center button cover 375 and the outer periphery button cover 380 (the pressing operation unit 303) from the raised position to the lowered position, the raising and lowering cam member 371 is rotated counterclockwise in plan view by the operation button raising and lowering drive motor 367. Then, in FIG. 78 (b), the third cam 371e in contact with the upper left of the guide pin 364d of the lift base 364 moves to the right (in the direction of the guide pin 364d). The guide pin 364d is pressed downward by 371e, and the elevating base 364 is moved downward against the biasing force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

  When the guide pin 364d moves from the lower end of the third cam 371e to the first cam 371b side with the rotation of the lift cam member 371, the downward movement of the lift base 364 stops, and the guide pin 364d becomes the first cam Roll along 371b. Thereafter, when the guide pin 364d reaches the position of the locking portion 371c in the middle of the first cam 371b, the biasing force of the lifting spring 365 inserts the guide pin 364d into the locking portion 371c which is recessed upward, and the operation By stopping the rotation of the lift cam member 371 by the button lift drive motor 367, the original lowered position is obtained.

[3-5-5i. Operation unit relay board unit]
The operation unit relay board unit 390 in the effect operation unit 300 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 69 and 70 and the like. The operation unit relay board unit 390 is attached to the rear surface of the operation unit base 320. The operation unit relay substrate unit 390 includes a box-shaped substrate box 391 attached to the rear surface of the main body 321 of the operation unit base 320, and an operation unit relay substrate 392 attached inside the substrate box 391.

  The substrate box 391 has a motor cover portion 391a that covers the operation ring drive motor 342 of the rotary drive unit 340 from the rear side when assembled in the effect operation unit 300. The operation unit relay substrate 392 is a dish center upper decoration board 314, a dish center lower decoration board 316, an operation ring drive motor 342, a first rotation detection sensor 347, a second rotation detection sensor 348, a presentation operation ring decoration board 352, a vibration speaker Relay the connection between the operation button elevation drive motor 367, the central button decoration substrate 376, the outer circumference button decoration substrate 377, the pressure detection sensor 381, the elevation detection sensor 382, and the plate unit relay substrate 214 of the plate base unit 210 There is.

[3-5-5 j. Action of production operation unit]
Next, the operation of the effect operation unit 300 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 79 to 81 and the like. FIG. 79 is an explanatory view showing the relationship between the effect operation ring and the rotary drive unit in the left side view of the effect operation unit. FIG. 80 is an explanatory view showing the relationship between the effect operation ring and the effect operation ring decoration substrate in the plan view of the effect operation unit as viewed from the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit. Fig. 81 (a) is a front view of the pan unit shown in a normal state, (b) is a front view of the pan unit when the pressing operation section is at the raised position, and (c) is a central pressing of the pressing operation section It is a front view of a saucer unit when an operation part is pressed.

  The effect operation unit 300 includes an effect operation unit 301 which can be operated by the player on the top surface. The effect operation unit 301 is configured of a large annular rotation operation unit 302 and a pressing operation unit 303 disposed in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302. The pressing operation unit 303 is a circular center pressing operation unit 303 a positioned at the center of the rotation operation unit 302, and an annular outer periphery pressing operation unit disposed between the center pressing operation unit 303 a and the rotation operation unit 302. And 303 b.

  The rotation operation unit 302 is formed by the ring outer upper cover 335, the ring outer lower cover 336, and the ring inner cover 337 of the effect operation ring 330. The center pressing operation unit 303 a is formed by the center button cover 375 and the center button main body 373 of the effect operation button unit 360, and the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303 b is formed by the outer periphery button cover 380 and the outer periphery substrate cover 378.

  The rendering operation unit 300 is assembled to the dish unit 200 in a state of being inclined so that the front side of the virtual plane formed by the upper surface of the annular rotation operating unit 302 (the rendering operation ring 330) is lower. Therefore, the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit 303 disposed in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 is inclined so as to move backward as it goes downward (in other words, it moves forward as it goes upward) .

  In the normal state, the effect operation unit 300 is in a state where the pressing operation unit 303 slightly protrudes upward from the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. Specifically, the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 protrudes slightly upward from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. (See Figure 79 etc.)

  In this normal state, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated clockwise in left side view by the operation ring drive motor 342 of the rotation drive unit 340, the effect operation ring 330 is transmitted via the operation ring transmission gear 350. The rotation operation unit 302 rotates clockwise in a plan view. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated counterclockwise in left side view by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation portion 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is rotated counterclockwise in plan view. .

  The operation ring drive motor 342 is a stepping motor, and can repeat the forward rotation and the reverse rotation in a range of a predetermined rotation angle to swing the rotation operation unit 302 back and forth to vibrate. This vibration is different from the vibration by the vibration speaker 354, and only the rotation operation unit 302 vibrates.

  The rotary operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 can be rotated not only by the operation ring drive motor 342 but also by the player. When the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated clockwise in plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 of the rotation drive unit 340 is rotated clockwise in left side view through the transmission gear 350 for operation ring, and the rotation is performed. When the operation unit 302 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in left side view. The transmission detection gear member 345 detects rotation by two sensors of a first rotation detection sensor 347 and a second rotation detection sensor 348.

  The rotation of the transmission detection gear member 345 is detected by detecting the plurality of detection pieces 345 b by the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348. More specifically, the distance between the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 spaced apart in the circumferential direction is equal to the distance between the plurality of detection pieces 345b arranged in a row at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The intervals are not integer multiples. Thereby, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 are configured not to detect the detection piece 345b at the same timing.

  In this embodiment, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates clockwise in left side view, the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b and then the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b. . On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in a counterclockwise direction in left side view, the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b and then the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b. Detect Therefore, the rotation direction of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) can be detected by the order in which the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 detect the detection piece 345b. The rotational speed of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) can be detected by the detection time of the detection piece 345b in the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348.

  As described above, since the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 can be detected, the content of the player participation type effect can be changed according to the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302. Further, when the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 is detected, the rotation operation can be lightened and assisted by rotationally driving the rotation operation unit 302 in the same direction as the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342. . Alternatively, by rotationally driving the rotation operation unit 302 in the direction opposite to the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342, it is possible to make the rotation operation heavier or to give a click feeling.

  The rotation operation portion 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is formed by the ring outer upper cover 335, the ring outer lower cover 336, and the ring inner cover 337, and is formed in a shape in which a half or more circular arc extends annularly. ing. In other words, the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a donut shape. And since the rotation operation part 302 is attached in the state which the outer peripheral surface, the upper surface, and a part of inner peripheral surface exposed, as shown in figure, it is formed in the shape which is easy to grasp with a player's hand .

  As a result, since the player can touch the rotation operation unit 302 from various directions, it is possible to rotate the rotation operation unit 302 in a way that the player can easily do, and the operation of the rotation operation unit 302 Sex is enhanced. Further, the rotation operation unit 302 can perform rotation operation even when the pressing operation unit 303 is in either the lowered position or the raised position. In addition, since the rotation operation part 302 is attached to the operation part base 320 on the lower surface side, it can not be grasped like a steering wheel of a car.

  As shown in FIG. 80, the rendering operation unit 300 is provided below the rendering operation ring 330 with a rendering operation ring decoration substrate 352 in which a plurality of LEDs are annularly arranged. Thus, the light emitting decoration of the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 can be performed by causing the LED of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 to emit light. Further, in the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352, since the plurality of LEDs are arranged in a ring along the rotation operation unit 302, the plurality of LEDs arranged in a row are sequentially arranged according to the rotation of the rotation operation unit 302. By emitting light, it is possible to emit light and decorate only a specific part of the rotating rotation operation unit 302. Thereby, the player can be illusive as if the LED (decorative substrate) is provided in the rotating operation unit 302.

  In the effect operation unit 300, in the normal state, as shown in FIG. 81A, the pressing operation unit 303 disposed in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 has an upper surface that is higher than the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. It is in the state of the descent position which projected slightly upwards. In this state, the rotary operation unit 302 can be rotated, and the central pressing operation unit 303 a of the pressing operation unit 303 can be pressed. When the central pressing operation portion 303a is pressed downward, the upper surface of the central pressing operation portion 303a (central button cover 375) is lowered to substantially the same height as the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b (outer peripheral button cover 380). The sensor 381 detects a press.

  In this normal (downward position) state, even if the outer periphery pressing operation portion 303b of the pressing operation portion 303 is pressed downward, the outer periphery pressing operation portion 303b (outer periphery button cover 380) is not moved downward, and the pressing is detected The sensor 381 does not detect a press.

[3-10. Measures to enlarge the decoration of the door frame]
In the pachinko machine 1 in recent years, the door frame left side unit 400, the door frame right side unit 410, and the door frame top unit 450, which are the decorations on the front of the door frame 3, are increased in size to increase the interest of gaming. The amount of protrusion that is pushing towards the person's side is increasing. As a result, when the employee opens and closes the door frame 3 during business hours, there is a possibility that the employee or the player may come in contact with the door frame top unit 450 or the like. Moreover, since it is necessary to prevent interference with the adjacent pachinko machine 1 and the flat ball rental machine, the opening angle of the door frame 3 may be greatly restricted.

An embodiment of a pachinko machine 1 capable of coping with the problem will be described with reference to FIGS. 91B to 91G.
As is clear from the above description, the pachinko machine 1 of the embodiment comprises an openable door frame 3 having a door window 101a for configuring the front side and making the game area 5a visible and a door in a closed state A door frame left side unit 400, a door frame right side unit 410, and a door frame top unit 450, which is a front decorative portion located on the front side of a predetermined portion of the frame 3 and arranged to project forward than the door window 101a. Is equipped. In the embodiment, of the three units, the door frame top unit 450 is provided with means for solving the problem, and therefore, the door frame top unit 450 will be described as the front decorative portion 450. Of course, the following description of the front decorative portion 450 is also applicable to the door frame left side unit 400 and the door frame right side unit 410.

[3-10-1. Front decoration section]
The front decorative portion 450 is rotatably and detachably provided in an arrangement area 420 which is the front of the door frame 3 and formed in the upper portion of the door window 101a. The three-way locking unit 6500 shown in FIG. 91C can be switched to the playable state locked in the placement area 420 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 91C and the maintenance state out of the placement area 420 as shown in the solid line in FIG. 91D.

[3-10-1-1. Placement area]
The placement area 420 is configured to substantially abut the front surface of the door side placement part 421 in a form in which the upper part of the door frame base 101 bulges forward and the upper end face of the door placement part 421. And a front surface of the main body side arrangement portion 422 protruding like a crosspiece on the upper front surface of the main body.
In addition, since the door side arrangement part 421 is integral with the door frame 3 and the main body side arrangement part 422 is integral with the main body frame 4, there is no hindrance to opening and closing independent of the main body frame 4 of the door frame 3 An appropriate clearance (clearance) is provided at an opposing location where the upper end surface of the door side arrangement portion 421 and the lower end surface of the main body side arrangement portion 422 face each other. Therefore, since there is a possibility that fraudulent action will be carried out through the gap, foreign matter may be inserted between the end faces of the door side arrangement part 421 and the main body side arrangement part 422. A foreign matter insertion preventing portion 425 is formed, in which the gap is made to meander by interlacing so as to make it difficult for the foreign matter to pass.

In the arrangement area 420, the top central speaker 462 provided in the door frame top unit 450 in FIG. 88 (c) corresponds to the reference effect portion on the door frame 3 side (the design and mechanism of the front decorative portion 450). Is provided on the front side of the main body side arrangement portion 422 as a reference element that can be used commonly for all effects, and thus the top center speaker 462 is not shown on the rear surface of the front decoration portion 450 of the embodiment. An accommodation space in which the top center speaker 462 can be accommodated is formed at a position corresponding to (reference effect unit).
By doing this, even if the front decorative portion 450 is changed by changing the specification or the like, the reference effect portion can be used as it is, so it is possible to suppress the cost of replacing the front decorative portion 450 and the change cost of effect control.

[3-10-1-2. Decorative hinges]
The front decorative portion 450 is rotatably and detachably mounted on the arrangement region 420, specifically, on the main-body-side arrangement portion 422 via the decorative hinge tool 450a pivotally attached to the upper rear side of the front portion 450. It is attached.
That is, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 91B, the decorative hinge tool 450a is a T-shaped resin or metal connecting member in plan view, and the hinge shaft 450b provided horizontally inside the front decorative portion 450 is used. A bearing piece 450d rotatably attached to the front decorative portion 450 through its own axial hole 450c, and a mounting piece 450e provided in a direction orthogonal to the bearing piece 450d from the rear end of the bearing piece 450d And consists of
On the other hand, in the main body side arrangement portion 422 of the arrangement region 420, a T groove 422t is formed in such a shape that all of the mounting piece 450e of the decorative hinge 450a and the base of the bearing piece 450d can be inserted and removed from above. A decorative hinge 450a is attached to 422t in a removable manner.

Further, the decorative hinge tool 450a is locked by a tool-less locking portion 426 which does not require a tool such as a driver for the attaching / detaching operation in a state where the decorative hinge tool 450a is attached to the T groove 422t. The tool-less locking portion 426 is a screw (see FIG. 91B) provided with a knob for a screwdriver on the head (see FIG. 91B), a well-known snap lock that can be removed by one-touch operation to move the lever up or down. There is a known crescent lock that can be attached and detached by turning the

  The locking portion 426 is excellent in stability when provided with a plurality (two in the embodiment) at appropriate intervals for one front decorative portion 450, in which case as shown in FIG. 91B. The same thing of the same kind may be unified, or plural different kinds of locking structures may be mixed. Preferably, a plurality of types having different locking structures may be mixed in one front decorative portion 450, for example, by mixing a screw provided with a knob for a screwdriver on the head and a snap lock or crescent lock. It is possible to make up for the other drawback while making use of the respective features of the certainty of fixation and the ease of the detaching operation.

  Furthermore, in the case where a plurality of different types of locking structures are mixed with one front decorative portion 450, the operating order by type (by locking structure) at the time of attachment / detachment, for example, locking excellent in workability. The structure is removed at first because the clamp is suddenly removed by one-touch operation and it is difficult to take fall prevention measures (temporarily hold by hand etc.) of the front decoration 450, and the lock structure with excellent reliability is, for example, turning a screw. For example, the mark part (not shown) on the lever of the snap lock, according to the kind of operation order that the fall prevention measures (temporarily hold by hand etc.) of the front decorative part 450 have time to take It is good for workers to recognize it. As this mark part, a means to draw strong attention, for example by painting the said lever with an expanded color such as red or sticking a seal such as red, etc. may be mentioned.

  In addition, although the locking part 426 of embodiment used the tool-less thing as a preferable example, it is not limited to this, It is also possible to use the locking part 426 locked using tools, such as a driver. Of course it is possible.

[3-10-2. Action and effect of measures to increase size]
The pachinko machine 1 of FIGS. 91B to E is configured as described above, and in the normal gaming state, the main body frame 4 is locked to the outer frame 2 by the outer frame collar 653 of the three-way locking unit 6500. Is locked to the main frame 4 by a door frame wedge 652 of the three-way locking unit 6500, and the front decoration 450 is locked to the door frame 3 by a decoration wedge 6520 of the three-way locking unit 6500. The state in which the front decorative portion 450 is locked by the decorative portion fence 6520 is detected by the detection means 430 as a playable state locked on the front side of the arrangement area 420, and the detection signal is detected by the main control portion 1310. It is transmitted and a game is possible on control.

  Next, when opening the door frame 3 to open the game area 5a in order to cope with troubles such as ball clogging etc., first, insert a key into the key hole 132 of the cylinder lock 130 and rotate this in a front view counterclockwise direction. Rotate in the direction. As a result, the decorative part fence 6520 moves upward through the transmission cylinder 654, and the front decorative part 450 which is on the front side of the placement area 420 and is locked in the playable state is unlocked, and at the same time the biasing means 428 The front decorative portion 450 is slightly pivoted by the bias of. A slight rotation of the front decorative portion 450 is detected by the detection means 430 (the detection means 430 is turned off), and the front decorative portion 450 is not in the game enable state by receiving the detection signal (OFF signal). It is determined that the main control unit 1310 and the peripheral control unit 1511 perform necessary processing (for example, execute a program for protecting the circuit before the disconnection of the drawer connector 429 is disconnected, or execute an alert program for fraudulent (At the top center speaker 462 or the like) to appeal that the door frame 3 is open in a flying manner at an appropriate volume. Specifically, a slight rotation of the front decorative portion 450 is detected by the detection unit 430, and the detection unit 430 is turned off or the drawer connector 429 is disconnected (including the case where the detection unit 430 is not provided). When the detection means 430 is turned off and the drawer connector 429 is disconnected, the signal is received from the top central speaker 462 etc. Will be opened for a predetermined time (20 seconds) (for different notification from the message notification of "the door is open" which is output when the door frame 3 is actually opened ") The process of outputting the various lamps and emitting the various lamps in the pre-alert mode is started. The pre-alert message notification ends after a predetermined time (20 seconds) elapses, but the pre-alert lamp emission continues until the detection unit 430 is turned on (until the front decorative portion 450 is normally connected ) Will be continued. As described above, as a warning program against fraud, immediately after the front decorative portion 450 is removed from the playable state (the detection means 430 is turned off), or immediately after the disconnection of the drawer connector 429, or the detection means 430. As soon as a message notification regarding the door frame 3 is started in a flying manner (in fact, when the door frame 3 is not open) immediately after the condition in which the state of the door connector 429 turns off and the condition in which the drawer connector 429 disconnects overlap, It is possible to prevent in advance the actual harm that may occur when the door frame 3 is opened.

  In the above description, although the message notification for the advance warning and the message notification output when the door frame 3 is actually opened are different notification, the present invention is not limited thereto. The message notification output when the door frame 3 is actually opened may be the notification of the same content. For example, when the drawer connector 429 is disconnected and a slight rotation of the front decorative portion 450 is detected by the detection unit 430 and the detection unit 430 is turned off and the detection signal (OFF signal) is received, the door frame A message notification of “door is open” that is output for a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds) when 3 is actually opened, and various lamps in a mode when the door frame 3 is actually opened When the door frame 3 is actually opened after that, the process at the time of opening the door to light the light is started in advance, and the same process as the process at the time of opening the door is newly started. May be According to such a mode, when the door frame 3 is actually opened after the detection unit 430 is turned off and the predetermined time has elapsed, the process for opening the door is performed twice, and the predetermined operation is performed. A message notification ending in time can be started multiple times to make the notification to the outside regarding the opening of the door frame 3 sufficient. In addition, even when the door frame 3 is actually opened before the predetermined time has passed since the detection means 430 is turned off, the process when the door is opened is overwritten and extended. The message notification which ends in time can be extended to make the notification to the outside regarding the opening of the door frame 3 sufficient.

Next, in this state, the front decorative portion 450 is manually rotated in the flip-up direction about the hinge shaft 450b of the decorative hinge 450, and changes to a maintenance state not positioned in front of the placement area 420 as shown in FIG. Let Specifically, the front decorative portion 450 is made to stand by at a position not overlapping the opening / closing track of the door frame 3.
Incidentally, this maintenance state is maintained even when there is no support by a hand by a detachable stopper or the like (not shown). Further, in this maintenance state, since the bottom and back surfaces of the front decorative portion 450 hidden in the playable state are exposed to the outside, it is easy to carry out a defect or repair of the front decorative portion 450.
In addition, since the change of the front decorative portion 450 to the maintenance state is due to the movement in the direction different from the opening and closing of the door frame 3, it is noticeable that the employee who is distant that the front decorative portion 450 is in the maintenance state Even easy to understand from. Therefore, it is easy to find an illegal act of a technique performed after putting the front decorative portion 450 in a maintenance state, and that also serves as a deterrent of the illegality.

  When the front decorative portion 450 is changed to the maintenance state, as shown in FIG. 91D, the operation rod 427a of the open operation portion 427 of the three-way locking unit 6500 is exposed to the outside. Then, when the operating rod 427a is pushed by hand against the bias of the coil spring 427b, the linear movement in the pushing direction of the operating rod 427a is converted into rotational movement by a helical mechanism (not shown) in the cylinder 427d. The rotational movement is converted into a linear movement for pulling up the door frame wedge 652, and the locking of the door frame 3 by the door frame wedge 652 is released.

As a result, the door frame 3 can be opened as it passes under the front decorative portion 450 in the maintenance state as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 91D.
As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the embodiment, the front decorative portion 450 in the maintenance state stands by at a position not overlapping the opening / closing track of the door frame 3, that is, it is separated from the opening / closing of the door frame 3. There is almost no risk that the front decorative portion 450 will come into contact with people even if the front cover is opened, and there is almost no risk of interference with the adjacent pachinko machine etc. as the door frame 3 is opened and closed.
And, if it is necessary to open the door frame 3 to perform an illegal act, the above-described releasing operation of the front decorative portion 450 is essential as a premise thereof, so it is difficult for the fraud to be performed and it takes a long time for the unauthorized work. Discovery is also easier.
In addition, since no tool is required for the opening operation of the door frame 3, the workability is good, and furthermore, the employee or the like does not have to bother carrying a large bundle of keys and tools.

In the embodiment, the front decorative portion 450 is provided in the main body side disposition portion 422 of the main body frame 4, but it is also possible to provide the front decorative portion 450 in the door side disposition portion 421 of the door frame 3. Although the front decoration 450 moves with the door frame 3, if the front projection of the front decoration 450 is designed to be large in the playable state and small in the maintenance state, contact with people is achieved. It is sufficiently possible to reduce the risk, and interference with the adjacent pachinko machine, ball ball rental machine and the like can also be avoided.
Further, by attaching the decorative hinge tool 450a to the outer frame 2, the front decorative portion 450 can be supported by the outer frame 2. In such a case, the front decorative portion 450 in the maintenance state is opened and closed to the door frame 3. Of course, since it can be separated also from the opening and closing of the main body frame 4, it is possible to further reduce the risk of contact with a person or to avoid interference with an adjacent pachinko machine, a flat ball rental machine or the like.

  Next, when the door frame 3 is closed after finishing the necessary work such as clearing the ball clogging etc., the door frame wedge 652 is automatically locked and the door frame 3 is locked, and the front surface in that state When the decorative portion 450 is returned from the maintenance state to the playable state, the drawer connector 429 is first connected, and from there, the front decorative portion 450 is firmly fixed to the placement area 420 against the bias of the biasing means 428 (leaf spring).

  The connection cable guide member 502 has a length in the left-right direction slightly shorter than the length in the left-right direction of the cable attachment recess 501h of the main frame base 501, and has a size that can be accommodated in the cable attachment recess 501h. It is formed. The connecting cable guiding member 502 is rotatably mounted around an axis extending up and down near the right end in the cable mounting recess 501 h. Thereby, the connection cable guide member 502 can be rotated (hinge rotation) so that the left end side protrudes forward.

  The connection cable guide member 502 is for guiding the connection cable 503. The connection cable 503 includes a plurality of wiring cords, one end of which is connected to the interface board 635 of the board unit 620, and the other end of which is the door frame main relay board 104 of the door frame 3 and the door frame sub It is connected to the relay board 105.

  Then, the effect by the connection cable guide member 502 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 100 etc., the connection cable guiding member 502 is an end (right end) opposite to the side (left) to which the door frame 3 in the left-right direction is hinge-rotatably attached to the body frame base 501. ) Is rotatably mounted about an axis extending parallel to the hinge axis of the door frame 3.

  The connection cable 503 connecting the interface board 635 of the main frame 4 to the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub relay board 105 of the door frame 3 is connected to the interface board 635 by the connection cable guide member. In a state of being in contact with the front surface of the guide main body 502a so as to extend leftward from the right side of the guide main body 502a of 502, the lateral direction is the plurality of through holes 502d formed on the upper and lower ends of the guide main body 502a. It is attached to the guide main body 502a by being clamped together with the guide main body 502a by the binding band 504 which penetrated to the pair of through-holes 502d of the same position.

  The connection cable guide member 502 of the main frame 4 is the back of the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub relay board 105 of the door frame 3 in a state where the assembly door frame 3 is closed to the main frame 4 in the pachinko machine 1 (See FIG. 100 (a)). In this state, after the connection cable 503 extends leftward from the connection cable guide member 502, it is bent back in front of the lower hinge attachment portion 501l, passes through the cable holder 103a of the door frame 3, and the door frame relay board cover It extends into 107. The cable holder 103 a of the door frame 3 is disposed to the left of the left end of the connection cable guiding member 502.

  In this state, when the door frame 3 is hinged to open with respect to the main body frame 4, the left end side of the connection cable guiding member 502 is pulled forward by the side of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3, The connection cable guiding member 502 is pivoted about the mounting shaft 502c at the right end. At this time, in the present embodiment, the relationship between the open angle α of the door frame 3 and the open angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 satisfies: α / 2 ≧ β (desirably, α / 3 ≧ β) It is formed (see FIG. 100 (b)).

  The open angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 is 0 degree when the door frame 3 is closed (the open angle α of the door frame 3 is 0 degree). The opening angle β of the connection cable guiding member 502 increases as the door frame 3 is opened and the opening angle α becomes larger, but the increase stops when the opening angle α becomes larger than a certain degree (for example, about 90 degrees) Transition as follows. In the present embodiment, the maximum angle of the open angle β is less than 45 degrees.

  Thus, when the door frame 3 is opened, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates so that the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 moves forward relative to the main body frame base 501. The guiding of the connection cable 503 can prevent the connection cable 503 from hanging down between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4.

  When the open door frame 3 is closed, the portion of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3 is relatively moved backward, so the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 is pressed backward by the connection cable 503. As a result, the connection cable guiding member 502 is pivoted about the mounting shaft 502c so that the left end side moves rearward. At this time, since the connecting cable guiding member 502 is opened at an opening angle β of less than 45 degrees, the connecting cable guiding member 502 does not obstruct the movement of the door frame 3 in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 It can be closed smoothly. Further, since the connection cable 503 is guided by the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is not pinched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 when the door frame 3 is closed. Can be prevented from occurring.

  Further, since the connecting cable 503 guided by the connecting cable guiding member 502 is folded 180 degrees when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connecting cable 503 is folded at the folded part. You can put on a bribe. Thus, when the door frame 3 is opened, the force for closing the connection cable 503 is acted upon by the fold when the 180-folded portion of the connection cable 503 is changed to open. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed, it is possible to prevent the connecting cable 503 (connection cable guiding member 502) from moving in the opening direction by its fold, and the connecting cable 503 (connection cable guiding member 502) It can be guided in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be smoothly closed.

  Furthermore, on the side of the door frame 3, the cable holder 103a is located closer to the central axis (axial center) of the door frame upper hinge pin 122 and the door frame lower hinge pin 126 than the tip of the connection cable guide member 502. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main frame 4, the distal end side of the connection cable guiding member 502 is the hinge pin 122 on the door frame by the connection cable 503 held by the cable holder 103a. The door frame lower hinge pin 126 can be pulled toward the central axis (axial core) side.

  Further, in this embodiment, the door frame of the speaker duct 103 relative to the cable holder 103 a is centered on the central axis (axial center) of the door frame upper hinge pin 122 and the door frame lower hinge pin 126 passing through the rotation center of the connection cable guide member 502. A tangent line in contact with a circle passing through a portion (pressing portion) protruding rearward on the central axis (axial center) side of the upper hinge pin 122 and the door frame lower hinge pin 126 and an angle intersecting the front surface of the main body frame 45 are 45 degrees or less It is configured to be Thereby, when closing the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4, the pressing portion abuts on the connection cable 503 to close the tip end side of the connection cable guiding member 502 opened through the connection cable 503. Since it is possible to press in the direction, the connection cable guide member 502 can be smoothly closed with the movement of the door frame 3 in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be closed reliably. Further, since the maximum opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 which rotates (opens and closes) with the opening and closing of the door frame 3 can be 45 degrees or less, the connection cable guide member 502 can be closed when the door frame 3 is closed. Can be reliably rotated in the closing direction, and the same effects as those described above can be obtained.

  The dispensing device 580 is formed in a rectangular shape extending in the vertical direction in a plan view. The dispensing device 580 is formed such that the width in the left-right direction is larger in the front view right than the width in the left-right direction of the ball guiding unit 570.

  As shown in FIG. 105, in the rear view, the upstream end of the dispensing passage 580a of the dispensing device 580 opens upward at a position near the left from the center in the lateral direction, and the downstream end at a position near the right end in the lateral direction. It opens downward. Dispensing passage 580a extends obliquely downward from the upper end by about 1/3 of the total height from the upper end so as to move little by little leftward, and after bending slightly diagonally downward from the upper side, It bends at about 1/3 of the left and right width and extends downward substantially vertically to the center (rotation axis) of the discharge blade 589. Then, after bending to the right in the rear view with a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the gaming ball B above the center of the dispensing blade 589, a gap slightly larger than the gaming ball B with the outer periphery of the dispensing blade 589 It extends downward in a circular arc concentric with the discharge blade 589 so as to be formed, and extends vertically downward to the downstream end at a position on the right of the rear view from the center of the discharge blade 589.

  In the dispensing passage 580a, a dispensing detection sensor 591 is disposed below the dispensing blade 589 and immediately above the downstream end. A non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch is used as the payout detection sensor 591.

  The ball removal passage 580b extends obliquely downward from the upstream end in the dispensing passage 580a and branches off at a portion bent rightward, and extends vertically along the left side in a rear view to the lower end in the rear view of the bottom surface It opens downward near the left end. A ball clogging prevention portion 581r is projected in a rib shape toward the ball removal passage 580b with a portion of the inner wall forming the dispensing passage 580a having a predetermined distance dimension at this branched portion, and the ball clogging prevention portion The upper surface 581r and the inner wall surface of the passage forming the dispensing passage 580a are formed in the same plane, and are inclined downward to the right in a rear view. A detailed description of the ball jam prevention unit 581 r will be described later.

  The payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear cover 582 face each other on the side where the ball pulling movable piece 592 is attached at the portion where the payout passage 580a and the ball pulling passage 580b are branched, and the outer diameter of the gaming ball B A main body side guide wall 581a which protrudes rearward and forward from each so as to form a narrower gap than the other, and which is formed to be continuous with the left side wall in a rear view of the discharge passage 580a and the ball removal passage 580b And a rear lid side guide wall 582a. The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are branched from the ball removal passage 580b in the dispensing passage 580a and are a back view of a portion extending to the right in a rear view at a height of about 1/3 from the top It is formed at the left position. The main-body-side guide wall 581a and the rear lid-side guide wall 582a are curved so as to be recessed obliquely upward to the left in a rear view, and are formed mainly to constitute the side wall of the ball removal passage 580b. The ball pulling movable piece 592 rotates through the space between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

  The dispensing motor 584 is attached to the right of the portion of the dispensing device body 581 where the dispensing passage 580a extends obliquely downward from the upstream end in a rear view. The drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the dispensing gear member 588 are disposed in front of the dispensing device body 581, and the front side is covered by the dispensing device front lid 583. The delivery gear member 588 is provided with three detection pieces 588b in the shape of flat plates having an arc shape extending outward, at an angular interval of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction.

  The dispensing blade 589 is disposed between the dispensing device main body 581 and the dispensing device back cover 582. The discharge blade 589 is provided with a plurality of blade pieces 589a having a circular arc shape and extending concentrically outward from the rotation shaft in a plate shape at an angular interval of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. The blade piece 589a is narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B at the portion extending in the dispensing passage 580a from the upper side to the rotational axis and then extending to the right in the rear view. And protrudes into the dispensing passage 580a. Dispensing blade 589 is provided with three ball pieces 589a, and a ball accommodating portion 589b which is recessed to the center side with an arc having a radius larger than the radius of gaming ball B, and is recessed with a circular arc in a cylindrical outer peripheral portion. By forming the spherical ball accommodating portions 589 b at equal intervals, three blade pieces 589 a serving as peaks and three ball accommodating portions 589 b serving as valleys are alternately formed. Only one game ball B can be accommodated in the ball accommodation portion 589b. Thus, the payout blade 589 can regulate movement of the gaming ball B in the payout passage 580a to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 by the blade piece 589a and rotates in a clockwise direction as viewed from the rear. Thus, the gaming ball B housed in the ball housing portion 589b can be moved to the downstream side.

  The dispensing gear member 588 and the dispensing blade 589 are coaxially integrally rotatably mounted by the dispensing device rear lid 582 and the dispensing device front lid 583. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is disposed on the left in the rear view of the rotation shaft of the delivery gear member 588 in the rear view. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is for detecting the rotation of the discharge blade 589 by detecting the detection piece 588 b of the discharge gear member 588 that rotates integrally with the discharge blade 589.

  The upper end of the ball removal movable piece 592 is rotatably mounted around an axis extending in the back and forth direction at the upper ends of the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. The ball removal movable piece 592 is bent in a V-shape, and is attached so that the recessed side faces in the dispensing passage 580a. The depth of the ball removal movable piece 592 is smaller than the gap between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a Through the gap between the two, and may be projected into the ball removal passage 580b or retracted out of the ball removal passage 580b.

  The ball extracting lever 593 is attached to the dispensing device main body 581 and the dispensing device rear cover 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction in the rear view left in the vicinity of the upper end of the ball extracting movable piece 592. A part of the ball extraction lever 593 penetrates the dispensing device rear lid 582 and protrudes rearward, and can be slid by operating the protruding portion. By positioning the ball extraction lever 593 at the lowering end, the lower portion can be in contact with the ball extraction movable piece 592, and it is possible to regulate the rotation of the ball extraction movable piece 592 in a clockwise direction as viewed from the rear. The ball removal movable piece 592 can close the ball removal passage 580 b. Further, by positioning the ball extraction lever 593 at the rising end, the ball extraction movable piece 592 can be turned to the outside of the ball extraction passage 580b, and the ball extraction passage 580b can be opened (see FIG. See 106). Thus, the ball can be removed by opening the ball removal passage 580b using the ball removal lever 593.

  When the ball extraction is performed by raising the ball extraction lever 593 to turn the ball extraction movable piece 592 into a rotatable state, the gaming ball B, which is in a state like a beaded connection on the upstream side of the ball extraction movable piece 592 Will flow down the ball removal passage 580 b beyond the ball removal movable piece 592. At this time, since the ball removal passage 580b extends straight from the upstream side of the discharge passage 580a, the gaming ball B that has flowed down from the upstream of the discharge passage 580a flows straight down to the ball removal passage 580b. At the same time, since the downstream side of the ball removal passage 580b communicates with the island equipment side, there is nothing like the payout wing 589 for suppressing the flow of the gaming ball B, so the gaming ball B is from the payout passage 580a side. It will flow down too early.

  As described above, in the state where the ball extraction movable piece 592 is rotatable, the gaming ball B flows down at a high speed in the ball extraction passage 580b, so the ball extraction movable piece 592 protruding into the ball extraction passage 580b. The game ball B comes into contact with the lower end side of the ball vigorously, but the ball extraction movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a of the dispenser main body 581 and the rear lid side guide wall 582a of the dispenser rear lid 582 Since the ball pullout movable piece 592 is moved to the outside of the ball pullout passage 580b by the contact force since it can move to the outer side than the inner surface of the ball pullout passage 580b, the ball pullout movable piece 592 is The game ball B is not pinched between the wall surface of the removal passage 580b and the game ball B, and a strong force can be prevented from acting on the ball extraction movable piece 592. Piece 59 Deterioration and breakage of the durability can be suppressed.

  From such a thing, since it is possible to make the ball removal movable piece 592 hard to break, more gaming balls B can be discharged faster to the island equipment side on the downstream side of the ball removal passage 580b. It is possible to suppress an increase in time required for replacement or maintenance of the machine 1, and to reduce the burden on the game hall side.

  In addition, when the ball extraction movable piece 592 is rotatable, the ball extraction passage 580b passes between the main-body-side guide wall 581a and the rear lid-side guide wall 582a at intervals where the ball extraction movable piece 592 is narrower than the gaming ball B. In order to move to the outside of the ball removal passage 580b, the game ball B is in contact with the ball removal movable piece 592 projecting into the ball removal passage 580b so that the ball removal movable piece 592 has a main body side guide wall 581a and a rear lid side guide wall 582a. Even when the game ball B is moved to the side between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a together with the ball extraction movable piece 592 when moving outward through the space, Only the game ball B can prevent outward movement by the space between the narrow main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

  Then, the movement of the gaming ball B to the outside is blocked between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, so that the gaming ball B is separated from the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the ball thereafter Since the movement of the pullout movable piece 592 is due to an inertial force, a strong force does not act on the ball pullout movable piece 592, and the ball pullout movable piece 592 can be made hard to break and the main body side guide The gaming ball B does not protrude to the outside of the ball removal passage 580b from between the wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the gaming ball B can be reliably circulated to the downstream side of the ball removal passage 580b.

[4-7-2 b. Rotation position of the dispensing blade]
As described above, the payout device 580 has the spur gear drive gear 585 (number of teeth Z0: 9) attached to the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584, and the spur gear first transmission gear 586 meshing with the drive gear 585 ( Number of teeth Z1: 20), spur gear-like second transmission gear 587 (number of teeth Z2: 20) meshing with the first transmission gear 586, spur gear-like delivery gear 588a meshing with the second transmission gear 587 (number of teeth) Z3: 24), a delivery gear member 588 having a plurality of detection pieces 588b, a delivery blade 589 integrally rotating with the delivery gear member 588, and a blade rotation detection sensor 590 for detecting the detection piece 588b of the delivery gear member 588; When the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is driven to rotate, the rotation is discharged through the drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear 588a of the payout gear member 588. It is transmitted to rotate the blade 589.

  Here, the rotational speed of the delivery gear member 588 is obtained by reducing the rotational speed of the delivery motor 584 by the drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the delivery gear 588a of the delivery gear member 588. . The reduction ratio n is set to the number of teeth Z0 of the drive gear 585 (= 9) / the number of teeth Z3 of the delivery gear 588a of the delivery gear member 588 (= 24) according to a calculation by mechanics. In the present embodiment, the payout motor 584 is a stepping motor excited by 2-2 phase excitation having a rotary shaft rotating 18 degrees in one step rotation (the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates 20 steps to 360 degrees = 18 degrees x 20 steps)), the discharge blade 589 integrally rotated with the discharge gear member 588 is 6.75 degrees (= 18 degrees x speed reduction ratio n) when the rotation shaft of the discharge motor 584 rotates one step. It will rotate. As a result, when the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates 54 steps, the payout blade 589 rotates 364.5 degrees (= 6.75 degrees × 54 steps), and when it makes one rotation (360 degrees rotation), 4.5 It will rotate an extra degree.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the rotation shaft of the dispensing motor 584 is rotated 54 steps, the dispensing blade 589 rotates 364.5 degrees, so one rotation (360 degrees rotation) of the dispensing blade 589 is performed. Stepping drive to the dispensing motor 584 that corresponds to one rotation (360-degree rotation) of the dispensing blade 589 is required to rotate the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 584 step 53.333 ... (= 360 degrees ÷ 6.75 degrees) The number of steps which is the number of times is not to be an integer.

  That is, in the present embodiment, three ball housing portions 589 b are formed at equal intervals in the discharge blade 589, and the rotary shaft of the discharge motor 584 rotates by 18 degrees as a predetermined angle according to step driving. The discharge blade 589 rotates by 6.75 degrees via the drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the discharge gear 588a of the discharge gear member 588 (that is, the rotation shaft of the discharge motor 584 is 1). When the step rotation (18 degrees rotation), the payout blade 589 rotates 6.75 degrees), so the payout blade 589 can send out one game ball B every rotation of 120 degrees, and the payout In order to rotate the blade 589 by 120 degrees, it is necessary to rotate the rotary shaft of the dispensing motor 584 17.777... Step rotation (= 120 degrees ÷ 6.75 degrees). Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of step driving to the payout motor 584 corresponding to the delivery of one game ball by the payout blade 589 is set as the 18 step rotation which is an integer in which the decimal part is rounded up. By rotating 589 by more than 120 degrees (actually, 121.5 degrees rotation (= 18 step rotation x 6.75 degrees)), the rotational position of the payout wing 589 to the position where the next game ball B is received It is possible to rotate.

  Although the payout wing 589 can pay out three game balls B every one rotation (360 degrees rotation), there are also cases where only one ball pays out the game balls B. Since the blade rotation detection sensor 590 may erroneously detect the rotational position of the payout blade 589 due to, etc., the processing of setting the origin of the rotational position of the payout blade 589 should be performed each time one game ball B is dispensed. Is preferred. In the present embodiment, as described above, the number of step driving to the payout motor 584 corresponding to the delivery of one game ball by the payout blade 589 is 18 step rotation which is an integer in which the decimal part is rounded up. The payout wing 589 is rotated over 120 degrees (in fact, it is 121.5 degrees rotation (= 18 step rotation x 6.75 degrees)), and each time one game ball B is paid out, the payout is made. A process of setting the origin of the rotational position of the blade 589 is performed to enhance the accuracy of the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589.

  Further, since the number of step driving to the payout motor 584 corresponding to the delivery of the game ball B of one ball by the payout blade 589 is not an integer as described above, every time one ball is paid out Even if the error is accumulated, the rotation angle of the dispensing blade 589 is detected by detecting a plurality of detection pieces 588b of the dispensing gear member 588 provided coaxially with the rotation shaft of the dispensing blade 589, thereby making the gaming ball one ball The accumulated error can be reset each time the money is paid out. As a result, even if an error occurs every time the game ball is paid out due to the influence of the tobacco dust or the like, the accumulated error can be reliably reset every time the game ball is paid out It can be done. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for an error to occur in the rotational position of the payout blade 589 that receives and sends the gaming ball.

  Further, since the number of step driving to the payout motor 584 corresponding to the delivery of the game ball B of one ball by the payout wing 589 is not an integer as described above, every time one ball is paid out for the game ball The positioning position is different every time. As a result, the contact position between the game ball and the payout blade 589 is different each time, whereby the adhesion position of dust and dirt can be dispersed. Of course, if the reduction ratio of the rotation transmission member that causes such a positioning error is set, although the error is accumulated, the rotation angle of the payout blade 589 is The detection is performed by a plurality of detection pieces 588b of the delivery gear member 588 shown in FIG. 105, which are provided coaxially with the rotation axis of the delivery blade 589, and reset when the accumulated error accumulates to some extent. Thereby, the accuracy of the number of game balls to be paid out is secured. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1, the rotation position of the ball feeding rotary unit which receives and sends the game ball is changed each time the game ball is paid out, and the positions where dust and / or dust adheres are dispersed to the dust or the like. It is possible to have a strong dispensing device 580. As described above, the dispensing device 580 has one dispensing passage 580a. For this reason, when the payout speed of the game ball is made the same as compared with the payout device having the payout blades in the two payout passages, the payout blades 589 of the payout device 580 having the single payout passage 580a in the present embodiment. Needs to rotate twice as fast. Then, the payout wings 589 of the payout device 580 having the single payout path 580a in the embodiment collide with the gaming balls and the payout wings 589 compared to the payout devices having the payout wings in the two payout paths. Since the number of times is doubled, there is a high probability that tobacco dust and dirt adhere to the discharge blade 589.

  In the present embodiment, when the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 584 is rotated 54 steps, as described above, since the discharging blade 589 exceeds one rotation, 54 rotations of the rotating shaft of the discharging motor 584 are performed one rotation of the discharging blade 589. If control is performed to set and manage as a set, an angular difference of 4.5 degrees with respect to one rotation of the discharge blade 589 is produced each time the rotary shaft of the discharge motor 584 rotates 54 steps, for example, 80 sets In this case, the angle difference is finally stacked up to 360 degrees (= 4.5 degrees × 80 sets), and the number of balls to pay out the game balls B is increased by three.

  As described above, the delivery gear member 588 is provided with three outwardly extending flat detection pieces 588b at intervals of an angle of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. Specifically, three 120 degree areas including the 60 degree area where the detection piece 588b is formed and the 60 degree area where the detection piece 588b is not formed are arranged along the circumferential direction. . As described above, the detection piece 588 b is detected by the blade rotation detection sensor 590, and a detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is input to the payout control substrate 633.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the payout control substrate 633 is based on the detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590 so that the above-mentioned angular difference does not occur, the rotational position of the payout blade 589 rotates integrally with the payout gear member The game ball B is a single ball by setting a 120 degree area having a 60 degree area where the detection piece 588b is formed and a 60 degree area where the detection piece 588b is not formed. It can be managed as an operation to pay out one by one.

  Specifically, first, in the region of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction of the delivery gear member 588, the region of 60 degrees where the detection piece 588b is formed blocks the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590. Because it is in the state, 9 steps rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 (corresponding to 60.75 degrees (= 6.75 degrees x 9 steps) rotation of the discharge blade 589 integrally rotating with the discharge gear member 588) as a light shielding range. The 60-degree region where the detection piece 588b is not formed is managed as 9 o'clock of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 as a light receiving range because the detection piece 588b does not block the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590. (It corresponds to 60.75 degrees (= 6.75 degrees × 9 steps) rotation of the dispensing blade 589 integrally rotating with the dispensing gear member 588).

  That is, in the present embodiment, the 120-degree region in the circumferential direction of the delivery gear member 588 is detected with nine steps of rotation of the rotation shaft of the dispensing motor 584 with the 60-degree region where the detection piece 588 b is formed as the light blocking range. It is managed by 18 step rotation which united the 9 step rotation of the rotating shaft of the payout motor 584 with the 60 degree area where the piece 588b is not formed as the light receiving range, against the payout of one ball of the game ball B It is performed by rotating the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 584 18 steps.

  When the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates nine steps, the discharge blade 589, which rotates integrally with the discharge gear member 588, rotates 60.75 degrees (= 6.75 degrees x 9 steps), so the light shielding range is 60 degrees. Since the rotation shaft of the dispensing motor 584 can rotate a little larger than the light receiving range of 60 degrees, a 60 degree area (light shielding range) where the detection piece 588 b is formed, A 60-degree region (light receiving range) in which the detection piece 588b is not formed can be reliably determined.

  Here, a method of setting the origin of the delivery blade 589 which rotates integrally with the delivery gear member 588 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 107 (a), the payout control board 633 has a state in which the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588 has shifted the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 from the blocking state to the non-blocking state (“first edge Detection position) is set as the point A. At this point A, movement of the gaming ball B in the payout passage 580a to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 is restricted by the blade 589a of the payout blade 589.

  As shown in FIG. 107B, the payout control board 633 sets the rotational position of the payout blade 589 obtained by rotating the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 five steps from the point A as the origin. At this origin, only one game ball B in the payout passage 580a is housed in the ball housing portion 589b of the payout blade 589. In this state, the center (center of gravity) of the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589 b of the payout blade 589 and the rotation center axis of the payout blade 589 are arranged on the same vertical line.

  The payout control board 633 sets the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 obtained by rotating the rotational shaft of the dispensing motor 584 four steps from the origin as a point B. At this point B, the detection piece 588b of the delivery gear member 588 is in a state where the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is changed from the non-blocking state to the blocking state (referred to as "second edge detection state"). In a region where the rotational position of the discharge blade 589, which rotates integrally with the discharge gear member 588, from point A to the origin and then point B, as shown in FIG. 107 (d), the light receiving range (that is, the discharge gear described above) Of the 120 degree region in the circumferential direction of the member 588, a 60 degree region where the detection piece 588b is not formed is obtained.

  The payout control board 633 sets the rotational position of the payout blade 589 obtained by rotating the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 nine steps from the point B as the above-mentioned A point. At this time, the gaming ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589 b of the payout blade 589 is moved to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 in the payout passage 580 a at the origin. In a region where the rotational position of the discharge blade 589, which rotates integrally with the discharge gear member 588, from point B to point A, as shown in FIG. 107 (d), the light shielding range (that is, the discharge gear member 588 described above). In the area of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction, the area of 60 degrees in which the detection piece 588 b is formed).

  Here, the control of the dispensing device 580 by the dispensing control substrate 633 will be briefly described. The payout control board 633 executes the payout control side power-on process at the time of power on of the pachinko machine 1 and at the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery after a power failure . The payout control board 633 repeatedly executes the steady process when the initialization setting process and the interrupt start setting are performed in the process on power-on at the payout control side. The payout control board 633 generates an interrupt every 2 milliseconds (ms) after setting the interrupt start, and executes the payout control side 2 ms interrupt process. The payout control board 633 repeatedly performs various processing such as payout motor control processing, history creation processing, origin setting processing and the like in the payout control side 2 ms interrupt processing.

  The payout control board 633 excites the payout motor 584 by 2-2 phase excitation having a pulse width of 4 ms by repeatedly executing the payout motor control process. The payout control board 633 repeatedly executes the history creation processing to check the presence or absence of the input of the detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590 every 2 ms. The payout control board 633 performs switching of the payout motor 584 by 2-2 phase excitation every 4 ms, that is, based on the detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590 confirmed respectively this time and last time. The result of checking whether the detection axis 588 b is in the blocking state or in the non-blocking state is one of the least significant bits of the history information having a width of 8 bits. After bit shift toward the bit one by one, when the detection result of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 cuts off the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590, the value 0 is set to the least significant bit. On the other hand, when the detection result of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is in the state in which the detection piece 588b does not block the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590, When the result of the check is different from that of the current (for example, one of the result of the present and the previous check is when the detection piece 588 b is blocking the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590, and the other is the blade rotation detection sensor When the detection piece 588b is in a non-blocking state) of the optical axis 590), the value 1 is set to the least significant bit.

  As described above, the payout control board 633 updates and creates history information having an 8-bit width every 4 ms of switching the payout motor 584 by the 2-2 phase excitation in the history creation processing. The payout control board 633 executes an origin setting process of setting the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 as the origin based on the history information updated and created every 4 ms. As described above, the payout control board 633 repeatedly executes the payout motor control process to rotate the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 by 5 steps from the state where the rotational position of the payout blade 589 is located at the point A. Since the rotational position of the discharge blade 589 is the origin, the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is positioned in the 60 degree area where the detection piece 588b described above is not formed, and the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 It will be in the state which 588b does not interrupt.

  Then, in the information from the most significant bit to the least significant bit stored in the history information having an 8-bit width, the detection piece 588 b is a blade rotation detection sensor 590 immediately before the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 is positioned at point A. 00000001B ("B" indicates that it is bit information. The same applies hereinafter.) Is set because it becomes a state (first edge detection state) in which the optical axis of is shifted from the blocking state to the non-blocking state. . Then, when the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 advances from the point A to the origin, 00111111B is set to the information from the most significant bit to the least significant bit stored and held in the history information having an 8-bit width. In the origin setting process, the payout control board 633 performs a first mask process on the history information with a first determination value of 11110000 B, thereby extracting data from 8 times before to 5 times before from history information as an operation result. Later (here, the calculation result becomes 00110000 B by the first mask process), and the second judgment process of 00010000 B is further subjected to the second mask process to the extracted data, thereby obtaining the data five times before the history information. The data is taken out as the operation result (here, the operation result is 00010000 by the second mask process) If the value is 0, it is determined that the current rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 is not at the origin, and the current rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 is not set as the origin. It is determined that the current rotational position of the blade 589 is at the origin, and the current rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 is set as the origin.

  When the payout control board 633 sets the rotational position of the payout blade 589 as the origin in the origin setting process, the rotational axis of the payout motor 584 is rotated by 5 steps from the state where the rotational position of the payout blade 589 is at the origin. Then, the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 is B point, and the rotational shaft of the dispensing motor 584 is rotated by 9 steps from the state where the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 is located at the B point The present process is terminated as it is in a total of 13 step rotations in which the rotational position of the discharge blade 589 is again set to the A point. That is, in the present embodiment, when the payout control board 633 sets the rotational position of the payout blade 589 as the origin in the origin setting process, the time until the rotational shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates 13 steps in total has elapsed. A home position detection prohibiting time for prohibiting the home position setting for the delivery blade 589 is provided.

  The payout control board 633 switches the excitation of the payout motor 584 by 2-2 phase excitation every 4 ms by executing the payout motor control process. As shown in FIG. 107, the payout control board 633 rotates the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 by 5 steps from the state where the rotational position of the payout blade 589 is located at the point A to make the rotational position of the payout blade 589 the origin. The time for setting is 20 ms (= 4 ms × 5 steps rotation), and the rotational position of the dispensing motor 584 is rotated by 5 steps from the state where the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 is located at the origin. The time for setting the point is 16 ms (= 4 ms × 4 step rotation), and the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 is rotated by 9 steps from the state where the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 is located at the point B The time to again set the rotational position of the discharge blade 589, which becomes the light receiving range again, to the point A, is 36 ms (= 4 ms × 9 steps rotation). As described above, the payout of one game ball B is performed by the 18-step rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584. Therefore, the time taken for the game ball B to pay one is the payout By performing 18 steps of rotation of the rotation shaft of the motor 584, 72 ms (= 4 ms × 18 steps of rotation) is obtained.

  Incidentally, conventionally, a gaming machine has been proposed that includes a payout device for dispensing the game balls according to the amount of rotation of the payout rotating body by receiving the game balls and driving the game balls by driving the payout motor (e.g. Open 2004-041261 (paragraphs [0052] and FIG. 4)). In the gaming machine of this document, the rotation time of one step of the payout motor is set to 18 mS, and the payout motor is set to rotate 30 degrees by the output of data drive data for four steps to pay out one game ball. ing. In a pachinko machine installed in a pachinko parlor, it is impossible to avoid that the tobacco dust or the like attached to the gaming balls adheres to the inside of the payout device. In addition, since the dispensation device is not disassembled and cleaned, there is a demand for a dispensation device that is strong against cigarette dust, dust, and the like. By the way, in the gaming machine of this reference, the payout motor is set to rotate 30 degrees by the driving of 4 steps of the payout motor to pay out one game ball, so accurate operation can be expected. It can be seen that the contact position between the ball and the payout rotary body is the same each time. For this reason, there is a problem that the position where the cigarette dust and the dust adhere is also fixed and it is easy to be deposited.

[4-7-2 c. Ball clogging prevention and ball falling prevention]
Next, ball clogging prevention and ball falling prevention will be described with reference to FIG. Here, ball clogging prevention at the time of ball removal will be described first, and subsequently, ball falling prevention by a non-energized state of the payout motor 584 will be described.

  As described above, the ball extraction lever 593 can turn the ball extraction movable piece 592 to the outside of the ball extraction passage 580b by positioning the ball extraction lever 593 at the rising end, and the ball extraction passage 580b can be opened. It can be done. When ball removal is performed, the ball removal lever 593 is raised to bring the ball removal movable piece 592 into a rotatable state. At this time, in a state where the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 is stopped at the origin, as shown in FIG. 108 (a), a part of the inner wall forming the dispensing passage 580a from the ball accommodating portion 589b of the dispensing blade 589. Is a predetermined distance dimension, and a total of four gaming balls B are parked up to the rib-like ball clogging prevention portion 581 r protruding toward the ball removal passage 580 b. As this predetermined distance dimension, the center (center of gravity) position of the gaming ball B retained on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581 r is on the right side from the left end side of the ball jam prevention portion 581 r and downstream (in other words, the discharge blade 589 is present) (The downstream side of the delivery passage 580a). Thus, a rib-like ball clogging prevention portion in which a part of the inner wall of the passage forming the dispensing passage 580a has a predetermined distance from the ball accommodating portion 589b of the dispensing blade 589 and protrudes toward the ball removing passage 580b. When a plurality of game balls B are parked in the payout passage 580a until 581r, a part of the last game ball B to be parked is pushed out toward the ball evacuation path 580b in the ball jam prevention portion 581r. That is, as the predetermined distance dimension, the gaming ball B (that is, the last game ball B) is held on the upper surface of the ball clogging preventing portion 581r, and is formed to constitute the side wall of the ball pulling passage 580b. The game ball B flowing down along the main body side guide wall 581a and the back lid side guide wall 582a as mentioned above collides with the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) parked on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r Even in this case, it has a length capable of flowing down to the ball removal passage 580b. In this manner, a portion of the gaming ball B (that is, the last gaming ball B) on the upper surface of the clogging prevention portion 581r stays in a state of protruding toward the ball pulling passage 580b (in other words, clogging prevention) A part of the game ball B staying on the upper surface of the section 581r is restricted by the length that one ball of game ball B can flow down as the width of the ball removal passage 580b) It can be done.

  Further, as described above, the ball clogging prevention portion 581 r has the upper surface thereof and the inner wall surface of the passage forming the dispensing passage 580 a formed in the same plane, and is a downward slope to the right in a rear view.

  That is, in the case where the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) is parked on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r, the game ball B flowing down from the upstream of the payout path 580a However, even if it collides with the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) staying on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention unit 581 r, the upper surface of the ball jam prevention unit 581 r is a downward sloping surface in rear view The center (center of gravity) position of the gaming ball B (that is, the last gaming ball B) staying on the upper surface of the clogging prevention portion 581 r is located on the right side and downstream of the left end side of the clogging prevention portion 581 r Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) staying on the upper surface of the ball clogging prevention unit 581 r from being pushed by the collision and flowing down toward the ball extraction passage 580 b. Be able to Going on. Thus, it is possible to prevent the game ball B flowing down from the upstream of the payout passage 580a from being clogged in the vicinity of the left end of the ball jam prevention portion 581r.

  As a result, the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) staying on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention unit 581 r is a ball removal path (a main ball guide wall 581 a and a rear lid side guide wall 582 a along the ball extraction passage 580 b The flow path of the game ball B on the flow path to the side is restricted to the width where one game ball B can flow down as the width of the ball extraction passage 580b as shown by the dashed dotted line in FIG. 108 (a). This can prevent ball clogging. Therefore, ball clogging at the time of ball removal can be reliably prevented. In the present embodiment, although the width of the ball extraction passage 580b varies depending on the rotational position of the discharge blade 589, the width is set so as to be from 12 mm to 14 mm. It is set to 13 mm in the state where the position is stopped at the origin. Incidentally, ball clogging easily occurs at a place where the width of each passage is narrowed from a place larger than twice the diameter (11 mm) of the gaming ball to a little smaller than twice the diameter of the gaming ball (for example 21 mm).

  Next, ball fall prevention by the non-energized state of the payout motor 584 will be described. In the state where the rotational position of the payout blade 589 is stopped at the origin, as shown in FIG. 108 (a), only one game ball B in the payout passage 580a is housed in the ball housing portion 589b of the payout blade 589. As a result, the game ball B is in a state of being held in the payout passage 580a in a state in which the subsequent game balls B are in contact with the game balls B by beading. In this state, as described above, the center (center of gravity) of the gaming ball B housed in the ball housing portion 589 b of the payout blade 589 and the rotation center axis of the payout blade 589 are arranged on the same vertical line. Further, as described above, the dispensing passage 580a obliquely extends downward from the upper end by about 1/3 of the total height so as to move gradually leftward as it goes downward from the upstream end, and slightly rightward from there After being bent diagonally downward, it bends at about 1/3 of the left and right width and extends downward approximately vertically to the center (rotation axis) of the discharge blade 589.

  Therefore, the center (center of gravity) position of the gaming ball B in contact with the gaming ball B housed in the ball housing portion 589 b of the payout wing 589 is the center of the gaming ball B housed in the ball housing portion 589 b of the payout wing 589 It will be shifted slightly to the left compared with the center of gravity position, and it will follow the game ball B housed in the ball housing portion 589b of the payout blade 589 in a state where the rotational position of the payout blade 589 is stopped at the origin. A rightward force (i.e., a force rotating clockwise) acts on the central axis of rotation of the payout blade 589 due to the ball pressure of the game ball B due to its own weight.

  In such a state, when the dispensing motor 584 is de-energized, it naturally rotates clockwise with respect to the rotation center axis of the dispensing blade 589, and is accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the dispensing blade 589. The gaming ball B will flow down (sent out) to the downstream side of the payout path 580a, and ball drop will occur.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the dispensing motor 584 is de-energized, the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 584 is of the dispensing blade 589 even if it naturally rotates clockwise with respect to the rotation center axis of the dispensing blade 589. The shape of the dispensing passage 580a on the right side of the dispensing blade 589 is formed in the rear view so as to be able to be stopped by six steps of rotation from the origin.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 108 (b) and (c), when the dispensing motor 584 is de-energized, the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 584 is rotated by six steps from the origin of the dispensing blade 589 and stopped. In the above, the game ball B in contact with the game ball B housed in the ball housing portion 589b of the payout blade 589 abuts on the side wall of the payout passage 580a and the outer periphery of the blade piece 589a having the arc shape of the payout blade 589 Of the faces, the ball accommodating portion 589b is closer to the gaming ball B is accommodated (in other words, the ball accommodating portion 589b accommodating the gaming ball B, and the ball accommodating portion 589b and the following ball accommodating balls B are not accommodated) Of the outer peripheral surface of the wing piece 589a connecting the portion 589b, the point S2 which is in contact with the ball housing portion 589b side closer to the side containing the gaming ball B from the center of the outer peripheral surface) It is formed the shape of sea urchin dispensing passage 580a. As a result, a ball pressure can be generated to press the outer peripheral surface of the blade piece 589a of the dispensing blade 589, and the rotation shaft of the dispensing motor 584 can be rotated six steps from the origin of the dispensing blade 589 and stopped. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the ball coming off due to the non-energized state of the payout motor 584.

  When the dispensing control board 633 starts controlling the dispensing motor 584 in a state where the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 584 rotates 6 steps from the origin of the dispensing blade 589 and is stopped, it rotates 6 steps from the origin of the dispensing blade 589 Of the light shielding range (9 steps) beyond point B shown in FIG. 107 (d), where it has advanced by 4 steps from the origin and has advanced by 2 steps. However, if the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates 13 steps (shown in FIG. 107 (d), the remaining 7 steps of rotation + 5 steps of rotation from point A to proceed to rotate 2 steps out of 9 steps) The game ball B stored in the ball storage portion 589b of the discharge blade 589 flows downstream (is sent out) to the downstream side of the It is adapted to be reliably detected by the detection sensor 591. Therefore, even in the state where the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 is shifted from the origin of the payout blade 589 (in a six-step rotation) and stopped, an excessive number of balls for which the gaming ball B is dispensed is not generated.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the payout control board 633 is a pressing operation of the ball lending button 224 of the ball lending operation unit 220 in the plate unit 200 or a payout command from the main control board of the gaming board 5 or the like. Accordingly, the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580 is controlled to pay out the instructed number of gaming balls B to the player side (the upper tray 201 or the lower tray 202). At the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery after the power recovery after (including a momentary power failure), the motor for controlling the dispensing motor 584 is not operated to return the rotational position of the dispensing blade 589 to the origin. ing. As described above, this causes the gaming ball B to generate an excessive number of balls to be paid out in a state where the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 is shifted from the origin of the payout blade 589 and rotated (six steps to advance). To prevent that.

  In the embodiment described above, the discharge blade 589 is provided with a plurality of blade pieces 589a having a circular arc shape extending outward in a flat plate shape at an angular interval of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction May be provided at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. FIG. 109 is a modified example of the dispensing device, and is a cut away rear cross-sectional view of the dispensing device provided with a dispensing blade 589 provided with four blade pieces 589a having a circular arc shape and provided with a radio wave sensor. FIG. 109 is a rear sectional view of the dispensing unit corresponding to FIG. 105 described above, cut at the center in the front-rear direction of the dispensing blade, and is denoted by the same reference numeral as FIG. In the case where the discharge blade 589 is provided with four blade pieces 589a having an arc shape, although not shown in FIG. 109, the above-described discharge gear member 588 is a flat detection piece having an arc shape extending outward. The four 588b are provided at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction, and the 90 degree region in the circumferential direction of the delivery gear member 588 is taken as the light shielding range at the 45 degree region where the detection piece 588b is formed. It is managed by 18 step rotation which united 9 step rotation of the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 584 and 9 step rotation of the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 584 with the region of 45 degrees where the detection piece 588b is not formed as a light receiving range. Thus, the reduction ratio n is selected, and the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates by 18 steps with respect to the payout of one game ball B. In other words, when the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates 18 steps, the drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission so that the discharge blade 589 integrally rotating with the discharge gear member 588 can rotate 90 degrees. By selecting the number of teeth of the gear 587 and the delivery gear 588a of the delivery gear member 588, the reduction ratio n can be determined.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the payout device 580 is provided with the payout detection sensor 591 attached at the downstream end of the payout passage 580a by the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear cover 582 to detect the gaming ball B. However, a radio wave sensor for detecting radio waves may be provided in the vicinity of the payout detection sensor 591. The payout detection sensor 591 uses a non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch to detect passage of the game ball B, but the game ball B actually passes when it is affected by radio waves. Nevertheless, it is possible for the game ball B to appear to be in a non-passing state due to a malfunction. In this case, the payout control board 633 to which the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 is input determines that the payout of the game ball B is not completed based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 and the payout motor By performing control to rotate the rotary shaft of 584 excessively, a large amount of gaming balls B will be paid out. In order to detect a fraudulent act (referred to as "radio wave goto") of acquiring the game ball B illegally as described above, as shown in FIG. 109, the radio wave sensor 594 is disposed near the top of the payout detection sensor 591 Can be provided and configured. When a detection signal from the radio wave sensor 594 is input to the payout control board 633, the payout control board 633 determines that an abnormal radio wave is irradiated based on the detection signal from the radio wave sensor 594, The emergency stop of the rotary shaft of the payout motor 584 is performed, and the radio wave goto notification command to that effect is transmitted to the main control board 1310X. At this time, the payout control board 633 may be configured to output a radio wave broadcast notification signal to the hall computer via the external terminal board 558. When the main control board 1310 X receives an 8-bit radio wave broadcast notification command from the payout control substrate 633, the radio wave goto alarm command is set from the 8-bit width to the 16 bit width and the radio wave goto warning sound is set to the maximum volume. The radio wave goto is set by setting various LEDs in a warning notification light emission mode (for example, a light emission mode blinking in red) while flowing from various speakers (vibration speaker 354, top center speaker 462, top side speaker 464, body frame speaker 622 etc.) It is shaped to the content that can be notified, and is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. When the peripheral control board 1510 receives a radio wave broadcast notification command having a width of 16 bits, the effect display device 1600 displays a large message "an error has occurred." To control various LEDs to a warning notification light emission mode Do.

  In place of the radio wave sensor 594, a contact-type ball passage sensor 594 'may be used, which is a contact-type ON / OFF mechanical switch. A detection signal from the contact ball passage sensor 594 'is input to the payout control substrate 633, and the payout control substrate 633 generates a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 and a detection signal from the contact ball passage sensor 594'. Based on this, when the number of balls from which the game balls B have been paid out does not match, it can be configured that it can be determined that some fraud has been made. When the payout control board 633 determines that some injustice has been made, the rotary control shaft of the payout motor 584 is urgently stopped and, at the same time, a goto notification command to that effect is transmitted to the main control board 1310X. At this time, the payout control board 633 may be configured to output a go notification signal to the hall computer via the external terminal board 558. When the main control board 1310 X receives an 8-bit wide Got notification command from the payout control board 633, the main control board 1310 X sets the Goto alert sound to the maximum volume by changing the 8-to 16-bit width of the Goto notification command. While flowing, various LEDs are set to a warning notification light emission mode (for example, a light emission mode blinking in red) to be shaped as content that can notify a goto and transmitted to the peripheral control substrate 1510. When the peripheral control board 1510 receives a Goto notification command having a width of 16 bits, the peripheral control board 1510 displays a large message "abnormality has occurred" on the effect display device 1600, and controls various LEDs to a warning notification light emission mode. .

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the payout motor 584 is a stepping motor, but may be a DC motor. In this case, when the DC motor is driven in a step manner, the rotation shaft is stepwise rotated at an angle of 18 degrees as a predetermined angle. That is, the DC motor rotates its rotation axis by 18 degrees in one step rotation.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the rotation shaft of the dispensing motor 584 is configured via the drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the dispensing gear 588a of the dispensing gear member 588, which constitute the rotation transmitting member. The rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is rotated at a low speed, and the rotation transmission member (a plurality of gears (for example, the first transmission gear 586 ′, Alternatively, the speed may be increased and the discharge blade 589 may be rotated via the second transmission gear 587 'and the discharge gear 588a') of the discharge gear member 588. In this way, since the speed increasing ratio of the rotation transmission member is determined in advance so that the number of step driving to the payout motor 584 corresponding to the delivery of one game ball by the payout blade 589 is not an integer, The positioning position is different every time one ball is taken out. As a result, the contact position between the game ball and the payout blade 589 is different each time, whereby the adhesion position of dust and dirt can be dispersed. Of course, if the speed increase ratio of the above-mentioned rotation transmitting member is set to cause such positioning error, although the error is accumulated, the error of the game ball is accumulated each time one ball is paid out The rotational angle is detected by a plurality of detection pieces 588b (light shielding pieces) of the delivery gear member 588 provided coaxially with the rotation axis of the delivery blade 589, and is reset when the accumulated error accumulates to some extent. Thereby, the accuracy of the number of game balls to be paid out is secured. Therefore, even in the pachinko machine 1 in which the speed increasing ratio of the rotation transmitting member is determined in advance, the rotational position of the payout blade 589 for receiving and sending the gaming ball is changed every time the gaming ball is paid out. By dispersing the position where the dust adheres, it is possible to have a dispensing device 580 that is strong against dust, dirt and the like.

[4-7-3. Upper full tank path unit]
The upper full tank path unit 600 in the dispensing unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 103 and 104 and the like. The upper full tank path unit 600 is attached from the rear to the lower side of the dispensing device 580 at the lower rear surface of the back plate left portion 551e of the dispensing base 551 of the dispensing base unit 550. The upper full tank path unit 600 is to be emitted downward from the payout device 580 and guide the gaming ball B to the lower full tank path unit 610. The upper full tank path unit 600 is formed in a square shape extending in the vertical direction in a front view.

  The upper full tank path unit 600 is a box-like upper full tank base 601 attached to the dispensing base 551 and opened at the rear side, and a box shape attached to the rear side of the upper full tank base 601 and the front side open. And a dispenser pressing member 603 rotatably mounted near the upper end of the top full-tank cover 602 and capable of pressing the dispenser 580 upward. The upper full tank base 601 protrudes rightward from the right side in a front view, and includes a back cover attachment portion 601 a for attaching a back cover.

  In addition, the upper full tank path unit 600 is an upper discharge that opens upward near the left end in the front view on the upper surface and extends downward along the left side to a position about 2/3 the height from the lower side. It is in communication with the ball receiving passage 600a and the upper discharging ball receiving passage 600a and extends about 3/4 of the full width to the right in front view and extends downward from the bottom to about 1/6 of the full height An upper ball storage passage 600b, an upper normal discharge passage 600c extending downward from the left side in front view from the center in the left-right direction of the upper ball storage passage 600b and opening downward at the lower surface, and an upper normal discharge passage 600c An upper full tank delivery passage 600d extending downward from the front right side from the center in the left-right direction of the ball storage passage 600b and opening downward at the lower surface, and the vicinity of the right end in the front view on the upper surface And a, and upper ball 抜通 passage 600e that opens downward in the lower surface near the right end after extending substantially vertically downwards and opens upwardly (see Figure 111).

  On the lower surface of the upper full tank passage unit 600, the upper normal discharge passage 600c, the upper full discharge passage 600d, and the upper ball extraction passage 600e are sequentially opened downward from the left in front view. The upper full ball passage unit 600 is assembled to the dispensing unit 560, and the upstream end of the upper dispensing ball receiving passage 600a is opened immediately below the downstream end of the dispensing passage 580a in the dispensing device 580. The upstream end of the passage 600e is opened immediately below the downstream end of the ball removal passage 580b in the dispensing device 580. As a result, the gaming ball B released (disbursed) from the dispensing passage 580a of the dispensing device 580 passes through the upper dispensing ball receiving passage 600a and the upper ball storage passage 600b to form the upper normal dispensing passage 600c or the upper full dispensing passage 600d. It is discharged downward from any of the The gaming ball B discharged downward from the ball removal passage 580b of the dispensing device 580 is discharged downward through the upper ball removal passage 600e.

[4-7-4. Lower full tank path unit]
The lower full tank path unit 610 in the dispensing unit 560 will be described in detail with reference mainly to FIGS. 103 and 104 and the like. The lower full tank path unit 610 is mounted on the bottom plate 551g of the dispensing base 551 of the dispensing base unit 550, and is attached to the lower part of the upper full ball channel unit 600. The lower full tank path unit 610 is for guiding the game ball B discharged downward from the upper full tank path unit 600 to the door frame 3 side or to the substrate unit 620 side. The lower full-tan ball passage unit 610 extends in the front-rear direction so that the front end side is lower, and the rear end extends upward.

  The lower full tank passage unit 610 includes a lower normal discharge passage 610a, a lower full discharge passage 610b, and a lower ball extraction passage 610c, and extends in the front-rear direction and is open upward.

  In the lower full tank passage unit 610, the lower normal discharge passage 610a, the lower full tank discharge passage 610b, and the lower ball extraction passage 610c are arranged in order from the left in front view on the upper surface of the portion extending upward at the rear end. In the state, each upstream end is open upward. The lower normal discharge passage 610 a and the lower full discharge passage 610 b extend forward in a side-by-side manner, and open forward at the front end of the lower full ball passage unit 610. The lower full tank delivery passage 610b extends forward slightly lower than the lower normal delivery passage 610a. The lower ball removal passage 610c extends forward along the right side surface of the lower full discharge passage 610b in a front view, and opens rightward in the longitudinal direction.

  The discharge passage opening / closing door 613 is rotatably mounted at a position between the front end openings of the lower normal discharge passage 610a and the lower full discharge passage 610b. The discharge passage opening / closing door 613 is urged clockwise as viewed from the front by a closing spring 614, and in the normal state, the front end openings (downstream end) of the lower normal discharge passage 610a and the lower full discharge passage 610b. Opening is closed. The dispensing passage opening / closing door 613 is provided with an operating protrusion 613 a protruding forward. The actuating projection 613a is formed in a short arc shape centering on the rotation center of the dispensing passage opening / closing door 613 in a front view, and as the front end face approaches the end in the counterclockwise direction It is inclined to project forward. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the actuating projection 613 a is formed to abut on the door opening / closing contact portion 150 f of the wafer cover unit 150 in the door frame 3.

  In the lower full tank unit 610, the lower normal discharge passage 610a, the lower full discharge passage 610b, and the lower ball extraction passage 610c, which are opened upward at the upper end of the rear portion, are assembled to the upper It is located immediately below the downstream end of the upper normal discharge passage 600c, the upper full discharge passage 600d, and the upper ball removal passage 600e of the tongue passage unit 600. Thereby, the gaming ball B discharged downward from the upper normal payout passage 600c flows through the lower normal payout passage 610a, and the gaming ball B discharged downward from the upper full payout passage 600d is the lower full payout passage 610b. , And the game balls B discharged downward from the upper ball-opening passage 600e flow in the lower ball-opening passage 610c.

  Further, when the lower full-tank passage unit 610 is assembled in the pachinko machine 1, the front ends (downstream ends) of the lower normal delivery passage 610 a and the lower full delivery passage 610 b pass through the fal cover unit 150 in the door frame 3. It is opened immediately after the ball passage 150a and the full tank receptacle 150b. Further, the downstream end of the lower ball removal passage 610 c is opened to face the ball removal guiding portion 627 opened to the left in the base unit 620 b of the substrate unit 620.

  In the lower full tank path unit 610, in the normal state (the state where the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4), the actuating projection 613a of the dispensing passage opening / closing door 613 abuts on the door opening / closing of the fal cover unit 150 By being in contact with the portion 150f, the plate is pivoted in the counterclockwise direction in front view against the biasing force of the closing spring 614. Thus, the openings at the downstream ends of the lower normal discharge passage 610a and the lower full discharge passage 610b are opened, and are communicated with the through ball passage 150a and the full ball receiving hole 150b of the far cover unit 150.

Thereby, even if the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the game ball B does not spill from the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full payout passage 610b.

[4-7-5. Flow of gaming balls in the payout unit]
Subsequently, the flow of the game balls B in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. The dispensing unit 560 is attached to the rear surface of the dispensing base 551 in a state of being assembled to the main body frame 4. In a normal state, the ball pulling lever 593 of the dispensing device 580 is located at the lowering end, and the ball pulling passage 580 b branched from the discharging passage 580 a is closed at the branch portion. Further, in the lower full tank path unit 610, the dispensing passage opening / closing door 613 is in the open state.

  A predetermined number of ball tanks 552, which are open upwards, are detected from the island facilities of the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed, for example, based on detection of ball breakage by the ball breakage detection sensor 574 of the ball guidance unit 570. Game balls B are supplied. The gaming balls B supplied and stored in the ball tank 552 are sent into the dispensing passage 580a of the dispensing device 580 through the guiding passage 570a of the ball guiding unit 570 in a state of being aligned by the tank rail 553. In a state in which the payout motor 584 is not rotating, the gaming ball B can not move (flow downward) downstream of the payout blade 589, and a plurality of gaming balls B stagnate upstream of the payout blade 589 It becomes.

  Then, the gaming ball B in the guiding passage 570a of the ball guiding unit 570 presses the movable piece member 573, and the ball breakage detection sensor 574 detects the movable piece member 573. Thus, it can be seen that the gaming ball B is stored in the passage from at least the movable piece member 573 to the payout blade 589.

  In this state, when the dispensing blade 589 is rotated in the clockwise direction by the dispensing motor 584, the gaming ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b moves in the clockwise direction as viewed from the rear, and the dispensing blade in the dispensing passage 580a It is released downstream of 589. Then, the gaming balls B discharged from the dispensing blade 589 (the ball accommodating portion 589 b) are sent to the upper dispensing ball receiving passage 600 a of the upper full ball passage unit 600 after being detected by the dispensing detection sensor 591.

  The gaming ball B sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full ball passing unit 600 is disposed immediately below the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a through the upper ball storage passage 600b in a normal state. It flows down to the upper normal discharge passage 600c. Then, the gaming ball B which has flowed down to the upper normal payout passage 600 c passes through the lower normal payout passage 610 a of the lower full ball passage unit 610 and the through ball passage 150 a of the far cover unit 150 of the door frame 3. It is discharged into the upper plate 201 from the upper plate-ball supply port 211 a of the plate unit base 211 in the case of FIG.

  When many game balls B are paid out from the payout device 580 and the inside of the upper plate 201 becomes full with the game balls B, the game balls B can not be released forward from the upper ball feed opening 211a, so the payout device When the game ball B paid out from 580 comes to stay in the lower normal discharge passage 610a of the lower full tank passage unit 610 and the game ball B is further discharged, the lower normal discharge passage 610a and the upstream side It will also stay in the upper normal discharge passage 600c of the communicating upper full ball passage unit 600. Then, when the gaming ball B is further dispensed in a state where the inside of the upper normal payout passage 600c is full of the gaming balls B, the upper normal ball storage passage 600b communicated on the upstream side of the upper normal payout passage 600c is stored. The gaming ball B starts to stagnate, and the gaming ball B begins to flow down to the upper full payout path 600d side adjacent to the upper normal payout path 600c.

  Then, the gaming ball B that has flowed down to the upper full discharge passage 600 d passes through the lower full discharge passage 610 b of the lower full ball passage unit 610 and fills the full ball receptacle 150 b in the far cover unit 150 of the door frame 3. Received by Thereafter, the gaming balls B received in the full tank receptacle 150b are discharged into the lower tray 202 through the storage passage 150e, the ball outlet 150d, and the lower tray supply port 211c of the tray unit base 211. As a result, when the game balls B are further paid out in a state where the upper plate 201 is full of the game balls B, the game balls B can be automatically paid out to the lower plate 202.

  In addition, when the lower plate 202 is full of the game balls B and it becomes impossible to release the game balls B forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, when the game balls B are further paid out, the lower plate The gaming ball B is retained and stored in the storage passage 150e of the far cover unit 150 on the upstream side of the ball supply port 211c. Then, when a certain number of gaming balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the movable piece 153 is moved and detected by the full tank detection sensor 154, and the upper tray 201 and the lower tray 202 are full with gaming balls B (( The player is informed that the container is full, and the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580 is temporarily stopped until the full tank detection sensor 154 is not detected.

  When discharging the gaming ball B stored in the ball tank 552 from the pachinko machine 1 at the time of maintenance or replacement of the pachinko machine 1, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is moved upward from the position of the descent end Slide it to the position of the rising end. Thereafter, the lower end side of the ball removal movable piece 592 is pushed by the game ball B, and is rotated in the clockwise direction as viewed from the rear, and the ball removal movable piece 592 is the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a , And is pushed out of the ball removal passage 580b. As a result, the game ball B can enter the ball removal passage 580b branched from the payout passage 580a, and the upstream game ball B is discharged downward through the ball removal passage 580b.

  At this time, in the region of the ball extraction movable piece 592, the game ball B flowing down contacts the main body side guide wall 581 a and the rear lid side guide wall 582 a more strongly than the ball extraction movable piece 592. Is less likely to break.

  The gaming ball B discharged downward from the ball removal passage 580b of the dispensing device 580 passes through the upper ball removal passage 600e of the upper full ball passage unit 600 and the lower ball removal passage 610c of the lower full ball passage unit 610. After being discharged from the downstream end opening of the lower ball removal passage 610c to the ball removal guiding portion 627 of the substrate unit 620, the ball ball receiving portion 628 and the ball discharge port 629 pass through the rear outside of the pachinko machine 1 Discharged to the island facilities side of

[4-8. Substrate unit]
The substrate unit 620 in the main body frame 4 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 112 to 116 and the like. FIG. 112 (a) is a perspective view of the substrate unit of the main body frame as viewed from the front, and (b) is a perspective view of the substrate unit as viewed from the rear. FIG. 113 is a perspective view of the substrate unit as viewed from the bottom rear. FIG. 114 is an exploded perspective view of the substrate unit disassembled into main components and viewed from the front, and FIG. 115 is an exploded perspective view of the substrate units disassembled into main components and viewed from the rear. FIG. 116 is an enlarged side cross-sectional view showing the lower part of the pachinko machine cut at the center in the left-right direction. The substrate unit 620 is attached to the lower portion of the rear surface of the main body frame base unit 500.

  The base unit 620 is a main unit frame so as to cover a part of the speaker unit 620a and the speaker unit 620a attached to the lower side than the game board placement portion 501c on the rear surface of the main unit frame base 501 in the main unit frame base unit 500. A base unit 620b attached to the rear surface of the base 501, a power supply unit 620c attached to the rear side of the base unit 620b, a payout control unit 620d attached to the rear side of the power unit 620c, and a payout control unit 620d.

  The speaker unit 620a is directed forward in the vicinity of the front end of the speaker cover 621 mounted on the rear surface of the main body frame base unit 500 below the gaming board placement portion 501c on the rear surface of the main body frame base And a container-like speaker box 623 mounted on the rear side of the speaker cover 621 so as to cover the rear side of the body frame speaker 622 and opened forward. .

  The speaker cover 621 extends in the left-right direction, and has a circular speaker attachment portion 621a formed of a plurality of slits extending in the front-rear direction near the left end in front view and extending in the vertical direction, and a front surface of the speaker attachment portion 621a A space front recess 621b recessed so as to bulge forward from the rear on the right side and a space protruding downward from the lower surface of the space front recess 621b and extending in the lateral direction and directed diagonally backward And an open connection portion 621c.

  The main body frame speaker 622 is attached to the speaker attachment portion 621a of the speaker cover 621 from the rear side toward the front. The connection portion 621 c of the speaker cover 621 is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees so that the lower end coincides with the upper end of the connection cylindrical portion 43 a of the rear curtain plate member 43 in the outer frame lower assembly 40 of the outer frame 2 . The main frame speaker 622 is a cone-shaped speaker that mainly outputs bass.

  The speaker box 623 is formed in the shape of a container opened forward, and the rear side of the main body frame speaker 622 protrudes the most greatly, and is stepped backward in a step-like manner toward the right in front view. It is formed so that the protrusion of. As a result, a space on the rear side to the right of the center in the front view of the speaker box 623 can be sufficiently secured, and the base unit 620 b, the power supply unit 620 c, and the like can be disposed. The speaker box 623 is formed to cover (close) the entire rear surface of the speaker cover 621 excluding the connection portion 621 c.

  The speaker unit 620 a forms a part of an enclosure 624 that encloses a sound output rearward from the main body frame speaker 622 by the speaker cover 621 and the speaker box 623. The enclosure 624 has the space front concave portion 621b which bulges forward in the front view right of the speaker mounting portion 621a in the speaker cover 621. Therefore, the enclosure 624 protrudes rearward as the speaker box 623 goes to the right The space on the right side of the main body frame speaker 622 is secured sufficiently wide even if it is formed in a step shape so as to reduce the amount.

  In the speaker unit 620 a, when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the connection portion 621 c of the speaker cover 621 is connected to the connection cylindrical portion 43 a so as to sandwich the seal member 48.

And an outer frame unlocking lever 656 for moving the outer frame collar 653 downward by protruding forward from the upper position and sliding it downward.

  When the locking unit 650 is assembled to the main body frame 4, the plurality (three) of door frame ridges 652, the transmission cylinder 654, and the outer frame unlocking lever 656 move forward of the front surface of the main frame base 501. It protrudes. The transmission cylinder 654 protrudes forward through the cylinder insertion opening 501f of the main body frame base 501, and closes the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4, whereby the front end rotates the cylinder lock 130 of the door frame 3. The transmission member 133 is engaged, and rotation of the key inserted into the keyhole 132 is transmitted and rotated.

  In the locking unit 650, a plurality of (three) door frame wedges 652 are locked to the hook members 116 of the door frame reinforcing unit 110 in the door frame base unit 100 of the door frame 3, and a plurality of (two) The frame collar 653 is locked to the upper hooking member 24 and the lower hooking member 25 of the outer frame right assembly 20 in the outer frame 2.

  The locking unit 650, when assembled in the pachinko machine 1, inserts a key corresponding to the key hole 132 of the cylinder lock 130, and when rotated in a counterclockwise direction in a front view, a plurality of transmission cylinders 654 The door frame wedge 652 moves upward, and the door frame 3 is unlocked with respect to the main body frame 4. On the other hand, when the key is rotated clockwise as viewed from the front, the plurality of outer frame collars 653 move downward via the transmission cylinder 654, and the main body frame 4 is unlocked with respect to the outer frame 2. In the state where the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, when the outer frame unlocking lever 656 is slid downward, the plurality of outer frame wedges 653 move downward, and the main body frame relative to the outer frame 2 4 is unlocked. Thus, locking between the main body frame 4 and the door frame 3 and between the main body frame 4 and the outer frame 2 can be unlocked.

  When locking between the main body frame 4 and the door frame 3 or between the main body frame 4 and the outer frame 2, the tip end sides of the door frame ridge 652 and the outer frame ridge 653 are inclined so as to be thin. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4 or the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the door frame ridge 652 and the outer frame ridge 653 are the hooking member 116 and the upper hooking member After moving downward and upward so as to get over the lower hooking member 24 and the lower hooking member 25, the locking state is achieved by the biasing force of the lock spring 655.

[4-11. Detailed configuration at the top of the main frame]
Next, the detailed configuration of the upper portion of the main body frame 4 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 118 to 125. Fig. 118 (a) is a plan view of the main body frame, and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B in (a). FIG. 119 is an enlarged view showing the upper portion of the main body frame in a rear perspective view. FIG. 120 (a) is a perspective view seen from the front upper side in a state in which a tank rail etc. is assembled to a ball tank, and (b) is a perspective view seen from the front lower side. FIG. 121 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 120 (a) as viewed from the front. FIG. 122 is an explanatory view showing a region in the upper portion of the main body frame in which the game balls overflowing from the ball tank circulate. FIG. 123 is an explanatory view showing the flow of gaming balls overflowing from the ball tank in the upper portion of the main body frame. FIG. 124 is an explanatory view showing the flow of the gaming ball to the bypass passage in the upper part of the main body frame. FIG. 125 is an enlarged view showing the vicinity of the tank rail in a perspective view in which the main body frame is viewed from behind the hinge side.

  As described above, the main body frame 4 is insertable into the outer frame 2 by the main frame upper hinge member 510 and the main frame lower hinge assembly 520, and the rear portion can be inserted into the outer frame 2 frame. A frame-shaped main frame base 501 rotatably mounted and capable of supporting the outer periphery of the game board 5, and an inverted L-shaped attached along the front view upper side and the left side on the rear side of the main frame base 501 A dispensing base 551 and a ball tank 552 attached to the dispensing base 551 and opened upward in a box shape (container form) extending to the left and right, attached to the left side of the ball tank 552 and opened upward The tank rail 553 extending to the left in the form of a groove, the first rail cover 554 attached to a part of the upper end of the tank rail 553, and the first rail cover 554 A second rail cover 555 attached to the upper end of the rail 553; a ball straightening member 556 attached to the upper end of the tank rail 553 at a position between the first rail cover 554 and the second rail cover 555; A ball stopper 557 attached to the downstream end of the lens 553 and a payout device 580 mounted on the downstream side of the tank rail 553 on the rear side of the payout base 551 and for dispensing the gaming ball B to the player And.

  The ball tank 552 is formed into a rectangular shape having a plan view shape extending in the left-right direction, and is inclined from the front side and the rear side of the bottom wall 552a which is inclined so that the left side is low in front view. It has a front wall 552b and a rear wall 552c extending upward, and a left wall 552d and a right wall 552e extending upward from the left and right sides of the bottom wall 552a, respectively, and is formed like a container whose upper side is open. It is done. In the ball tank 552, game balls B supplied from island facilities such as a game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed are stored.

  Further, the ball tank 552 has an overflow portion 552f which is notched from above in the front wall 552b and is formed lower than the remaining outer peripheral upper end edge. The overflow portion 552 f is about 3⁄4 the length of the front wall 552 b in the left-right direction from the end side of the left wall 552 d to the end of the opposite side (right wall 552 e side) in the front wall 552 b. It is formed over the ridge.

  The tank rail 553 communicates with the inside of the ball tank 552 at the right end side (upstream side) in front view, and the downstream side extends to one side (left side) in the left-right direction so as to be away from the ball tank 552 . The tank rail 553 extends from near the upstream to the downstream end at the bottom portion, and has a bowl-shaped main guiding portion 553a in which only one game ball B can be distributed in the width direction orthogonal to the flow direction of the game ball B Have. The main guiding portion 553a is inclined to be lower toward the left in front view. Further, the main guiding portion 553a extends leftward from the right end to a position approximately 1/10 of the total length in the left-right direction in parallel to an axis extending in the left-right direction from the right end to the left in plan view It has a crank shape that extends diagonally from the right end to about 4/10 of the total length in the left-right direction and moves parallel to the axis extending from the right end to the left end so as to move backward toward the end .

  In the main guiding portion 553a, the tank rail 553 has a portion extending parallel to an axis extending in the left-right direction from the left end to the right, extending to the upper end with the same width, and the first rail at the upper end of this portion With the cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball straightening member 556 attached, the upper side is closed. In addition, the tank rail 553 is formed so that the height of the flow path through which the gaming ball B circulates becomes lower toward the downstream end (left end) at the portion where the upper side is closed, and the gaming ball B at the downstream end Is formed at a height allowing only one flow (a height slightly higher than the outer diameter of the game ball B).

  Further, the tank rail 553 has a predetermined length in the left-right direction (in this embodiment, about the bottom surface of the main guiding portion 553a in a bowl shape and the rear wall of the main guiding portion 553a in front view) Three rectangular cutouts 553aa each having a length of 30 mm are formed at a predetermined interval (about 10 mm in the present embodiment). Approximately 7 mm obtained by adding a thickness (about 2.5 mm in the present embodiment) to the bottom of the main guiding portion 553a from the back wall of the main guiding portion 553a to the bottom surface of the main guiding portion 553a by the rectangular notch 553aa A rectangular hole having a length of about 30 mm in the left-right direction is formed, and the thickness of the bottom plate of the bottom of the main guiding portion 553a from the bottom of the main guiding portion 553a (in this embodiment) A rectangular hole having a height of about 7 mm and a length of about 30 mm in the left-right direction is formed by adding about 2.5 mm), and these rectangular holes are formed in communication with each other.

  The game balls B flowing from the ball tank 552 to the tank rail 553 are dropped by peeling metal powder from the game balls B due to wear such as the game balls B colliding with each other or rubbing against each other. For this reason, when the metal powder generated by the wear of the gaming ball B is in a state of adhering to the main induction portion 553a, the flow of the gaming ball B in the downstream direction is impeded, and the gaming ball B is smoothly directed toward the downstream side. It becomes difficult to supply the game ball B, and the payout of the game ball B by the payout device 580 is stopped.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of notched portions 553aa are formed in the main guiding portion 553a, and metal powder generated due to the wear of the gaming ball B can be removed from the main guiding portion 553a. Thereby, for example, metal powder generated by wear of the game ball B can be removed from the main induction portion 553a by naturally falling from the main induction portion 553a to the outside through the notch portion 553aa. Due to the vibration of the gaming ball B rolling on the main guiding portion 553a, metal powder produced by the wear of the gaming ball B adhering to the main guiding portion 553a falls from the main guiding portion 553a to the outside through the notch portion 553aa The metal powder can be removed from the main induction portion 553a, and a cotton swab is inserted into the notch portion 553aa by a staff member such as a game hall clerk, resulting from wear of the game ball B adhering to the main induction portion 553a. The metal powder can be removed from the main induction portion 553a by removing the metal powder.

  In addition, the tank rail 553 extends from the upstream end to the part where the upper side is closed above the main guiding portion 553a, and the plurality of gaming balls B are mainly arranged in the width direction orthogonal to the distribution direction A bulging portion 553b which is bulging wider than the width of the guiding portion 553a and narrows in the width direction from the upstream end toward the downstream side so as to match the width of the main guiding portion 553a There is. The plurality of gaming balls B spread in the width direction on the upstream side can be aligned by the bulging portion 553b such that the width direction becomes the width of one game ball B as it goes to the downstream side. Further, the bulging portion 553b is formed so that the width direction becomes narrower as it goes from the upper end side to the main guiding portion 553a below. Because of this, the tank rail 553 can align the plurality of gaming balls B circulating in the bulging portion 553b such that the width direction becomes one line as it goes downstream and downward.

  The bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 has a center of curvature disposed on the inner side, and is formed in a three-dimensionally curved shape. In the bulging portion 553b, the center of the curved curvature is disposed above the main guiding portion 553a, so in the tank rail 553, the boundary between the main guiding portion 553a and the bulging portion 553b is slightly Chamfered corners are formed. Further, the bulging portion 553b is formed such that the curvature thereof is larger on the downstream side than on the upstream side. Because of this, in the gaming ball B that circulates the three-dimensionally curved bulging portion 553b, the direction in which the reaction force from the bulging portion 553b side acts is in accordance with the position of the bulging portion 553b that contacts. It will change in various directions, and can suppress generation | occurrence | production of a ball | bowl on the inside of the bulging part 553b. More specifically, when the bulging portion 553b is formed to have a constant extending shape, a reaction force always acts on the gaming ball B circulating in the bulging portion 553b from the inner surface of the bulging portion 553b in a constant direction. Because it becomes difficult to disperse the reaction force, it is difficult for the game ball B to escape by always pressing the internal game ball B in a fixed direction, and it becomes easy to generate a ball clog (ball seam). On the other hand, since the bulging portion 553b has a three-dimensional curved surface, the direction of the reaction force acting from the inner surface of the bulging portion 553b becomes different depending on the position of the game ball B, so the inside is circulated By dispersing the pressed directions of the plurality of game balls B, the pressed game balls B can be easily escaped, and it is possible to make it difficult to generate a ball clog (ball game).

  The tank rail 553 is formed of a transparent material, and is configured to be able to visually recognize the inside from the outside. As a result, even if a ball clog (ball seam) occurs in the tank rail 553, the state of the game ball B in the tank rail 553 can be viewed from the outside, so a ball clogged location can be identified quickly. can do. Therefore, since clogging in the tank rail 553 can be eliminated quickly, interruption of the game due to the occurrence of clogging can be shortened as much as possible, and the player's interest in the game due to interruption of the game can be reduced. The decrease can be suppressed. In addition, since the tank rail 553 is transparent, it is possible to visually recognize the rear side (back unit 3000) of the game board 5 attached to the main frame 4 through the tank rail 553 from behind. When movement problems occur in various effect units etc., with the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4, the status of the drive motor, transmission mechanism such as gear or belt, etc. can be checked, and the phase described above The same effect as that of the use effect can be achieved.

  The body frame 4 is provided on the front side of the ball tank 552, extends in the front-rear direction, and the same side (left side in front view) as the downstream side of the tank rail 553 in the left and right direction is outside the left wall 552d of the ball tank 552. In order to return to the ball tank 552 the gaming ball B which extends to the left (left) and overflows from the ball tank 552, the rear end side is inclined so that the front end side is at the same height as the overflow portion 552f It extends rearward from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 at the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501m and the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501m to the upper side of the bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 which is open at the upper side And the side (left side) away from the ball tank 552 in the left-right direction is low, and the overflow surface from the ball tank 552 is A bypass passage 552g to induce some of the game balls B full of 501m, and a.

  Further, the main body frame 4 is provided on the opposite side to the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 out of both the left and right sides of the bypass passage 552g, and the space in the left and right direction is wider than the outer diameter of the gaming ball Provided at a position lower than the overflow surface portion 501m on the side opposite to the detour passage 552g with the discharge portion 551j whose height is lower than the portion of the tank rail 553 opened at the upper side than the upper portion is open Covers the upper side of an external terminal board 558 having a plurality of wire connection terminals 558a which can be connected with electric wiring from the rear, and a plurality of the wire connection terminals 558a (external terminal board 558) And a terminal cover 551k extending horizontally at a position higher than 501 m.

  The overflow surface portion 501m is formed on the main body frame base 501. The overflowing surface portion 501m is a flat plate from the upper side of the rear surface of the base main body 501a formed in a rectangular shape with a front view shape extending vertically to the rear from a position low by 2 to 4 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball B It is extended to The overflow surface portion 501m has a length in the left-right direction that is about 1/3 of the length in the left-right direction of the main body frame base 501, and the left end in front view is from the left end of the main body frame base 501. It is located to the right of 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction. The overflow surface portion 501m is formed such that the height from the front end to the rear end is about 1/2 the height of the outer diameter of the gaming ball B. In this overflow surface portion 501m, in a state in which the main body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2, a gap having a distance of about twice the outer diameter of the game ball B is formed between it and the outer frame upper member 30. .

  The main body frame base 501 is disposed on the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501m, and has flat left and right step portions 501n and 501o that extend substantially horizontally at the same height as the front end of the overflow surface portion 501m; The upper end of the left step 501n and the right step 501o is higher than the left step 501n and the right step 501o in the left and right direction, and the upper end extends in the front and back direction in a band plate shape. And a plurality of ribs 501p arranged at intervals smaller than the diameter. The left step portion 501 n is formed to be shorter in the left-right direction than the length in the front-rear direction. Further, the left step portion 501 n is inclined with respect to the horizontal surface so that the rear end right corner is slightly lower in front view. The right step portion 501o is formed to be longer in the left-right direction than the length in the front-rear direction. Further, the right step portion 501o is inclined with respect to the horizontal surface so that the rear end left corner is slightly lower in a front view.

  The plurality of ribs 501p of the main frame base 501 are formed higher than the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, and the lower surface of the outer frame upper member 30 of the outer frame 2 when the main frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2. A gap between the two is formed at a height that is narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B.

  When the main body frame base 501 is assembled to the main body frame 4, the right end of the overflow surface portion 501m coincides with the right end of the overflow portion 552f of the ball tank 552 in a front view, and the overflow surface portion 501m The left end of the left step coincides with the left end of the bypass passage 552g in the left-right direction, and the right end of the right step 501o coincides with the right wall 552e of the ball tank 552 in the left-right direction.

  The bypass passage 552 g is integrally formed with the ball tank 552. In the following, the container-like region surrounded by the bottom wall 552a, the front wall 552b, the rear wall 552c, the left wall 552d, and the right wall 552e is also simply referred to as a ball tank 552. The bypass passage 552g extends in a flat plate shape from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 to the left from the outside, and is a passage surface 552h inclined such that the front end has the same height as the overflow portion 552f and the rear end is lower. And a ridge portion extending upward from the end opposite to the left side wall 552 d in the passage surface 552 h to the same height as the left side wall 552 d. The rear end side of the passage surface 552h of the bypass passage 552g extends rearward to the same position as the rear wall 552c of the ball tank 552 in the front view, and the left end side (the collar 552i side) of the rear end side It extends diagonally to move forward as it goes from the to the right end side. The passage surface 552h of the bypass passage 552g may have a horizontal inclination.

  The detour passage 552g is assembled in the main body frame 4 so that the rear end is along the front end side of the portion extending obliquely with respect to the left and right direction in the tank rail 553 extending in a crank shape in the left and right direction. It extends. That is, the rear end of the bypass passage 552g extends obliquely with respect to the left-right direction. As a result, the gaming ball B guided to the rear by the bypass passage 552 g changes from the rear end, which is oblique, so that the flow direction is perpendicular to the oblique rear end. The obliquely extending rear end of the bypass passage 552 g extends substantially parallel to the obliquely extending portion of the tank rail 553 (the flow direction of the game ball B in the tank rail 553). Therefore, the game ball B is released from the rear end of the detour passage 552g in a direction substantially perpendicular to the flow direction (width direction) of the tank rail 553. The game ball B from can be received. In addition, since game balls B are supplied from the bypass passage 552 g into the tank rail 553 in a direction (perpendicular direction) substantially perpendicular to the distribution direction of the game balls B, the tank rail by the game balls B from the bypass passage 552 g It is possible to make it difficult to cause ball clogging in 553.

  The detour passage 552 g extends obliquely with respect to the left and right direction so that the rear end moves rearward as the downstream side of the tank rail 553 is reached, so the game ball B moves from the detour passage 552 g to the tank rail 553 side. At the time of discharge, the obliquely extending rear end allows the gaming ball B to be discharged to the upstream side which is wider than the downstream side where the width of the tank rail 553 is narrowed, and the width It is possible to suppress the generation of the ball seam in the tank rail 553 by releasing it to the wide area of

  Further, in the tank rail 553, a portion for guiding the gaming ball B by the bypass passage 552g corresponds to the rear of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 and the outside of the rear side 552c in a front view. In this part, the gaming ball B which has descended from the inside of the ball tank 552 below the guide surface 552 j of the ball tank 552 (the ceiling side of the opening 552 k) is distributed. Because of this, the height of the plurality of gaming balls B stacked in the vertical direction is the height of the ceiling of the opening 552 k (the wall of the tank rail 553 in the portion behind the detour passage 552 g in the tank rail 553 Never exceed height). Therefore, on the downstream side of the ball tank 552 in the tank rail 553, that is, on the rear end side of the bypass passage 552g, a space (vacant) where game balls B can be stacked upward can be secured. Thus, the game balls B induced to the rear side can be reliably received by the tank rails 553, and the game balls B will not spill backward from the tank rails 553.

  The ball tank 552 is a flat plate extending in the inner side surrounded by the front wall 552b, the rear wall 552c, and the left side wall 552d so as to be lower from a position slightly lower than the overflow portion 552f in the left side wall 552d. The guide surface portion 552 j of The guide surface portion 552 j extends from the front wall 552 b to the rear wall 552 c in the front-rear direction. Further, the guide surface portion 552 j has a right end side from the left end of the front wall 552 b to about 1/3 of the total length of the front wall 552 b in the left and right direction in front view After being obliquely extended to about 1/9 of the total length from the front wall 552b to about one half of the total length in the front-rear direction of the left wall 552d, it extends parallel to the left wall 552d to the vicinity of the rear wall 552c, From there, it is formed in parallel to the rear wall 552c, extending from the left end of the rear wall 552c to about 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction of the rear wall 552c with a constant width in the front-rear direction.

  The ball tank 552 is a straight line connecting the right end side of the guide surface portion 552j formed in the above-described shape in plan view and the end on the front wall 552b side and the end on the rear wall 552c side of the right end side. The enclosed region has an opening 552k formed to penetrate vertically. Further, the ball tank 552 is a flat flange extending in the lateral direction outward and in the vertical direction on the same plane as the front wall 552b on the front end side of the right side wall 552e and the front end side of the flange portion 552i of the bypass passage 552g. It has a portion 551l. The ball tank 552 has the upper end edge of the front wall 552b excluding the overflow portion 552f and the upper end edges of the two flange portions 552l have the height of the left end wall 552d or the upper end edge of the rear wall 552c (body frame base 501 Of the left step portion 501 n and the right step portion 501 o).

  When the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are assembled to each other, the upstream end (right end in front view) of the tank rail 553 is connected to the opening 552 k of the ball tank 552. Further, the obliquely extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape in plan view and the portion extending straight in the left-right direction on the left side are positioned behind the ball tank 552 )doing. The rear end side of the bypass passage 552g on the left side of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 is located at the front end of the obliquely extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape.

  The discharge unit 551 j is formed on the top surface of the payout base 551. The discharge portion 551 j is in the ball tank 552 so as to be lowered stepwise backward from the height lower than the bypass passage 552 g to the same height as the bottom wall 552 a of the ball tank 552 when assembled in the main frame 4 A position where the top of the tank rail 553 is higher leftward along the tank rail 553 than the upper end of the tank rail 553 (the center of the second rail cover 555 in the left-right direction) It extends to the near side and then extends backward.

  The external terminal board 558 is attached to the rear surface with the plurality of wire connection terminals 558a aligned in the left-right direction. The electric wire connection terminal 558a is a one-touch terminal which can hold the tip of the electric wiring by opening the holding portion by the operation of the lever. The external terminal plate 558 is disposed in front of a portion where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is closed by the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556 in an assembled state in the main body frame 4. . A terminal cover 551k that covers the upper side of the external terminal plate 558 (a plurality of wire connection terminals 558a) is formed on the top surface of the dispensing base 551. The upper surface of the terminal cover 551k is formed at substantially the same height as the upper end of the flange portion 552l of the ball tank 552.

  Next, the operation and effect of the upper portion of the main body frame 4 in the pachinko machine 1 will be described. First, in the overflow surface portion 501m, the left step portion 501n, the right step portion 501o, and the bypass passage 552g, as shown by white arrows in FIG. The left step 501 n is inclined so that the rear right corner is lower, and the right step 501 o is lower so that the rear left corner is lower. Further, the bottom wall 552a of the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 (main guiding portion 553a) are inclined such that the left end side is lower in front view. Further, the guide surface portion 552 j of the ball tank 552 is inclined so that the right end side in the opposite direction to the bottom wall 552 a is lower.

  Then, when the amount of gaming balls B stored in the ball tank 552 is increased by being supplied from the island facility, first, the overflowing portion 552 f having the lowest height among the outer peripheral upper end edges is exceeded It can be made to flow out to the outside (forward) of the ball tank 552, and the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 can be released to the overflow surface portion 501m and made to flow out from the ball tank 552 to the forward overflow surface portion 501m. The game ball B can be returned to the inside of the ball tank 552 by the inclination of the overflow surface portion 501m (see FIG. 123). Therefore, since it is possible to prevent an increase in the number of game balls B in the ball tank 552, it is possible to suppress that the game balls B strongly push each other in the ball tank 552 (increase in ball pressure). It is possible to prevent the occurrence of clogging (so-called, ball seam) due to engagement between the game balls B in the ball tank 552.

  Further, since the bypass passage 552g is provided, as shown in FIG. 124, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501m can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the bypass passage 552g. As a result, it is possible to prevent the back pressure from acting strongly on the game ball B in the ball tank 552 by the game ball B accumulated in the overflow surface portion 501m, and clogging of the game ball B in the ball tank 552 Can be prevented. In addition, since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 through the bypass passage 552g, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 or the overflow surface portion 501m may spill out on the outside (rear side) of the main body frame 4. It can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of such a problem that the game ball B spilled to the outside of the main body frame 4 is caught between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 and the main body frame 4 can not be opened or closed.

  Further, a part of the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501m can be guided to the downstream side of the tank rail 553 by the detour passage 552g and along the left side away from the ball tank 552 Since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 from a certain position, the flow (pressure) by the game ball B sent to the tank rail 553 by the bypass passage 552 g can be directed to the downstream side of the tank rail 553 It is possible to prevent the game balls B from being clogged by suppressing the game balls B from strongly pushing each other in the tank rail 553.

  Further, at the outer peripheral upper end edge of the ball tank 552, since the height of the upper end edge other than the overflow portion 552f is made higher than the overflow portion 552f, the ball between the ball tank 552 and the bypass passage 552g The upper end edge of the left side wall 552d on one side in the left-right direction of the tank 552 is higher than the overflow portion 552f, that is, the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501m. Thus, the game ball B flowing from the overflow surface portion 501m to the bypass passage 552g after overflowing from the ball tank 552 over the overflow portion 552f to the overflow surface portion 501m is the left side of one side of the ball tank 552 By being blocked by the wall 552d, it is possible to prevent the return from the bypass passage 552g to the ball tank 552 side, and the gaming ball B on the bypass passage 552g side presses the gaming ball B in the ball tank 552 to hold the ball It is possible to prevent clogging of the game balls B in the tank 552.

  Furthermore, as described above, the upper end edge of the left side wall 552d between the ball tank 552 and the bypass passage 552g is from the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501m (the passage surface 552h on which the gaming ball B rolls on the bypass passage 552g) Since the height is also high, it is possible to prevent the game ball B from overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the bypass passage 552g without passing through the overflow surface portion 501m. Thereby, since it is possible to prevent the inflow of gaming balls B from the side (ball tank 552) to the bypass passage 552g, the flow of the gaming balls B in the bypass passage 552g is behind the overflow surface portion 501m on the front end side The flow in a fixed direction toward the tank rail 553 on the end side can be made, and the pressure of the gaming ball B guided from the bypass passage 552 g to the tank rail 553 can be made in a fixed direction. Therefore, in the tank rail 553, the directions of the pressure applied to the gaming balls B are separated, so that it is possible to prevent the gaming balls B from pushing and biting each other, and the clogging of the gaming balls B is generated. It can be prevented.

  Further, since the bottom of the tank rail 553 is provided with the main guiding portion 553a extending to the downstream end, the gaming balls B in the tank rail 553 reach the main guiding portion 553a, so that they are aligned in the left-right direction. Since the game balls B in the tank rail 553 can be aligned since they are lined up, the game balls B can be reliably guided to the payout device 580 on the downstream side. In addition, since a wide bulging portion 553b in which a plurality of game balls B can be arranged is provided at a portion of the tank rail 553 which is open at the upper side, the game released from the rear end of the bypass passage 552g The ball B can be reliably received, and the above-described effects can be reliably achieved.

  Further, the bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 is extended from the upstream end to a portion where the upper side is closed, and the width direction is narrowed from the upstream end toward the downstream side, and the width of the main guiding portion 553a Since the change is made to coincide with each other, the plurality of gaming balls B can be aligned in a row in the width direction as they go downstream in the bulging portion 553b. Further, the upper part of the tank rail 553 is closed so that the height of the channel through which the gaming ball B circulates becomes lower toward the downstream end, so the upstream side (ball tank 552 side) The number of steps in the height direction is reduced by circulating the plurality of gaming balls B stacked in multiple steps in the height direction in the lower direction through the portion of the tank rail 553 which is closed on the upper side, thereby reducing the number of steps in the height direction Can be aligned to Therefore, the plurality of gaming balls B can be guided to the downstream side (the payout device 580 side) in a state of being aligned in one row by the tank rail 553.

  Furthermore, since the overflow surface portion 501m and the detour passage 552g are provided, it is possible to store a certain number of gaming balls B in them, and the tank rail 553 is provided with the bulged portion 553b Thus, since the volume in the tank rail 553 can be increased, more gaming balls B can be stored together with the ball tank 552.

  Further, an external terminal plate 558 provided with a plurality of wire connection terminals 558a to which electric wiring is connected on the opposite side to the ball tank 552 with the bypass passage 552g and the discharge portion 551j interposed therebetween, and a plurality of wire connection terminals 558a ( Since the terminal cover 551k covering the upper side of the external terminal board 558) is provided, the wire connection terminal 558a and the terminal cover 551k can be separated from the ball tank 552 to which the game ball B is supplied from the island facility Therefore, even if the game ball B supplied from the island facility bounces or vigorously supplies in the ball tank 552 or the overflow surface portion 501m, it can be made difficult to reach (abut) the wire connection terminal 558a etc. There is no occurrence of a short circuit or an electrical wiring disconnection due to the contact of the game ball B.

  The game ball B supplied from the island facility to the ball tank 552 is the ball tank 552 since the plurality of wire connection terminals 558a are directed backward and the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k is made higher than the overflow surface portion 501m. Also, it is difficult to get on the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k even if it bounces on the overflow surface portion 501m, and it is difficult to drop from the rear side even if the game ball B gets on the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k It is possible to easily avoid the occurrence of such problems.

  Further, the gaming ball B returned from the overflow surface portion 501m to the guiding surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is sent to the upstream side (rightward in FIG. 123) of the ball tank 552 by the inclination of the guiding surface portion 552j. As a result, the game ball B on the guide surface 552 j can be prevented from pressing in the downstream direction against the game ball B in the ball tank 552, and clogging of the game ball B occurs in the ball tank 552. Can be prevented.

  In addition, the game ball B supplied to the ball tank 552 from the island facility bounces on the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501m, and rides on the left step portion 501n and the right step portion 501o on the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501m. Also, as shown in FIG. 123, it is possible to guide the gaming ball B to the overflowing surface portion 501m and the detour passage 552g by the inclination thereof, and the trouble occurs because the gaming ball B spills outside the main body frame 4. Can be prevented.

  In addition, when the game ball B circulates from the ball tank 552 to the tank rail 553 side, the game ball B is configured to pass below the guide surface portion 552j. The amount (height) of B can be regulated so as not to be higher than the lower surface of the guide surface 552 j. Therefore, on the downstream side of the ball tank 552 (guide surface portion 552j) in the tank rail 553, that is, on the rear end side of the bypass passage 552g, it is possible to secure a space (vacant) where game balls B can be stacked upward. The gaming ball B induced by the bypass passage 552 g can be reliably received.

  Furthermore, since the plurality of wire connection terminals 558a and the terminal cover 551k are disposed in front of the portion of the tank rail 553 closed on the upper side, even if the game ball B falls backward from the terminal cover 551k, The game ball B is not received by the tank rail 553, and the game ball B can be prevented from affecting the game ball B in the tank rail 553 to cause a problem.

  The ball tank 552 is molded of a conductive resin, while the tank rail 553 and the peripheral control board box of the peripheral control unit 1500 described later are molded of a nonconductive resin. In this embodiment, when the tank rail 553 and the peripheral control board box are charged, the same polarity is obtained. Therefore, the metal powder of the game ball B attached to the tank rail 553 is the peripheral control board box of the same polarity. It is repelled so that it can not be drawn to the peripheral control board box.

  In the embodiment described above, a plurality of notched portions 553aa are formed in the main guiding portion 553a of the tank rail 553 so that metal powder generated by the wear of the game ball B can be removed from the main guiding portion 553a. Although it has been described above, one notch, hole or groove may be formed in the same manner as the notch 553aa with respect to the ball passage along which the game ball B rolls. Specifically, in the ball guiding unit 570 having one guiding passage 570a for guiding the gaming ball B from the tank rail 553 in a meandering manner shown in FIG. 111, the metal of the gaming ball B in the guiding passage 570a A notch, hole or groove through which powder can be removed from the induction passage 570a can be formed on the back surface of the induction unit base 571 of the induction unit 570 shown in FIG. Below the ball guiding unit 570, as shown in FIG. 111, a dispensing device 580, a substrate unit 620, etc. are disposed, and the dispensing device 580 has a substrate etc. on which the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is mounted. The substrate unit 620 includes the power supply substrate 630, the payout control substrate 633, the interface substrate 635, etc. shown in FIG. 112, and various substrates are arranged. Therefore, when forming a notch, a hole or a groove on the rear surface of the induction unit base 571, the game ball falling through the notch, the hole or the groove formed on the rear surface of the induction unit base 571 It is necessary to prevent the metal powder of B from adhering to various substrates disposed below the induction unit 570. Therefore, a wedge-shaped member can be formed to project rearward along the upper side of the dispensing device rear lid 582 of the dispensing device 580 shown in FIG. And the position of various substrates such as the substrate on which the blade rotation detection sensor 590 in the dispensing device 580 is mounted, or both can be adopted. Can also be configured. Further, along the upper side of the power supply substrate cover 631 of the power supply substrate 630, the delivery control substrate box 632 of the delivery control substrate 633, the interface substrate cover 636 of the interface substrate 635 shown in FIG. The position of the notched portion, hole or groove formed on the rear surface of the induction unit base 571 can be formed to protrude, and the power supply substrate cover 631, the dispensing control substrate box 632, and the interface substrate cover 636. The position of and can be configured to shift, or both can be adopted and configured. Note that the ventilation holes are not formed on the side walls of the power supply substrate cover 631 of the power supply substrate 630 shown in FIG. 112, the delivery control substrate box 632 of the delivery control substrate 633, and the cover substrate side wall provided on the interface substrate cover 636 of the interface substrate 635. Also, the metal powder of the game ball B can be prevented from adhering to various substrates. In the main control board 1310X disposed below the peripheral control board box 1505, the main control unit 1300 having the main control board 1310X is disposed at a position where the peripheral control board box 1505 is overhanging, or the main control unit By arranging a bowl-shaped member corresponding to 1300 or forming a ventilation hole in the cover side wall provided on the upper side of the main control unit 1300, it is possible to prevent the metal powder of the game ball B from adhering.

[4-12. Configuration of metal powder measures]
Next, an electrical trouble (short circuit caused by the metal powder of the game ball B that has dropped from the main induction portion 553a to the outside through the plurality of notched portions 553aa formed in the bowl-shaped main induction portion 553a of the tank rail 553 (short circuit The configuration of the metal powder countermeasure capable of avoiding the) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 126 is an enlarged view of a part of a cross-sectional view cut along the line C-C in FIG. 118 (a), and is a schematic view of the configuration of the metal powder countermeasure. In FIG. 126, the outline of the game board 5 is indicated by a solid line, and only the portion of the game board 5 necessary for the description is shown as a cross-sectional view.

  When metal powder (foreign substance) of the game ball B falling from the notched portion 553aa formed in a plurality of bowl-shaped main induction portions 553a of the tank rail 553 adheres to the peripheral control unit 1500 disposed below the tank rail 553, An electrical trouble occurs to cause a problem in the peripheral control unit 1500 or a malfunction. For example, the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 is provided with an IC such as a peripheral control IC, a ROM, an SDRAM, etc. described later, and the peripheral data ROM substrate described later is provided with an IC such as a peripheral data ROM. As the pin spacing of these ICs becomes smaller, the pin spacing of various connectors and special connectors provided on the peripheral control board 1510 becomes narrower, and the number of connectors on the peripheral control board 1510 increases, and the spacing between the various connectors becomes narrower. Since the distance between the connector and the special connector is also narrow, it is necessary to take measures against the electrical trouble caused by the foreign matter dropped from the tank rail.

  First, as shown in FIG. 126, a plurality of notched portions 553aa formed in the bowl-shaped main guiding portion 553a of the tank rail 553 is the rear side of the gaming panel 1100 of the gaming board 5 (the back box 3010 of the back unit 3000 It shifts toward the back compared with the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control unit 1500 attached to the rear side of the effect display device 1600 attached to the rear surface (in the present embodiment, about half the diameter of the gaming ball B It is arranged by the distance dimension of.

  As described above, the cross-sectional shape of the top plate portion 551a of the dispensing base 551 in which the tank rail 553 is disposed goes from the front side to the rear side of the top plate portion 551a (from the front to the rear of the top plate portion 551a It is formed in the shape of a step which bent downward in a plurality according to the direction. A back plate upper portion 551d extends downward from the rear side of the top plate 551a to the same position as the lower side of the right side plate 551c. When the tank rail 553 is attached to the top plate portion 551a, the top plate portion 551a bent below the tank rail 553 is disposed, and the rear surface of the tank rail 553 and the rear surface of the back plate upper portion 551d are substantially coplanar. It is supposed to be deployed. Further, when the back cover 640 is assembled to the main body frame 4, as described above, the contact is such that the front surface of the contact portion 640 a formed on the back cover 640 is in surface contact with the rear surface of the back plate upper portion 551 d of the dispensing base 551. The contact portion is covered by a convex portion 551da which is formed to project rearward on the rear surface of the back plate upper portion 551d.

  Thereby, the metal powder of the game ball B dropped to the outside from the main guiding portion 553a through the notch portion 553aa is received and attached at the top plate portion 551a or received and attached at the convex portion 551da. It can be done. Furthermore, the contacting portion where the front surface of the contact portion 640a formed on the back cover 640 and the rear surface of the back plate upper portion 551d of the dispensing base 551 are in contact with each other protrudes backward on the rear surface of the back plate upper portion 551d. Because it is covered by the formed convex portion 551da, the game panel 1100 of the game board 5 is from the portion where the metal powder of the game ball B dropped to the outside from the main induction portion 553a via the notch portion 553aa abuts. Of the peripheral control unit 1500 attached to the rear side of the rear unit 3000 (the rear side of the effect display device 1600 attached to the rear face of the back box 3010 of the back unit 3000) and the base body 1502 It has become.

  Thus, the top plate portion 551a of the payout base 551 and the back plate upper portion 551d are the metal of the game ball B that has dropped from the main guiding portion 553a to the outside through the plurality of notch portions 553aa formed in the main guiding portion 553a The powder is prevented from falling toward the peripheral control unit 1500 attached to the rear side of the game panel 1100 of the game board 5 (the rear side of the effect display device 1600 attached to the rear surface of the back box 3010 of the back unit 3000). It acts as a whistle that can be done. Therefore, the electrical trouble by the metal powder of the game ball B from the tank rail 553 can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of notched portions 553aa formed in the bowl-shaped main guiding portion 553a of the tank rail 553 and the rear side of the gaming panel 1100 of the gaming board 5 (on the rear surface of the back box 3010 of the back unit 3000) The cover body 1501 of the peripheral control unit 1500 attached to the rear side of the effect display device 1600 attached is misaligned (in the present embodiment, displaced by a distance dimension of about half the diameter of the gaming ball B) Trouble (that is, the peripheral control unit 1500 is not disposed immediately below the notch 553aa), the electric trouble due to the metal powder of the game ball B from the tank rail 553 Is effective in preventing metal powder.

  Further, a plurality of ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover body 1501 are provided on the rear surface of the cover body 1501 (cover flat plate described later), whereas the upper side, left side, and the side of the cover body 1501 (cover flat plate described later) are provided. The metal powder of the game ball B adheres to the upper side wall of the cover body 1501 (cover side wall formed on the upper side of the cover flat plate described later) because it is not provided on each side wall of the cover provided on the lower side and the right side. However, it is possible to make it difficult to intrude into the inside of the cover 1501.

  Further, the cover 1501 in the peripheral control unit 1500 is formed at the center side with a later described fan attachment recess having a square shape for attaching the air cooling fan FAN and a plurality of concentric circles on the bottom of the fan attachment recess. A plurality of arc-shaped slit holes, which will be described later, are formed along the respective lines. Further, along the lower side of the cover body 1501, seven connector holes provided at the peripheral control substrate 1510 attached to the inner side of the cover body 1501, and seven connector holes at positions corresponding to the volume control switches, Volume control holes are respectively formed, and two connector holes are respectively formed at positions corresponding to two connectors provided on a liquid crystal output substrate described later. In the state where the peripheral control substrate 1510 is attached to the inside of the cover 1501, gaps are formed between the seven connectors provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the seven connector holes formed in the cover 1501. While seven connectors provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 are exposed from seven connector holes, gaps are formed between the volume adjustment switch provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the volume adjustment hole formed on the cover 1501, The volume control switch provided on the peripheral control board 1510 is exposed from the volume control hole. Further, in a state where a liquid crystal output substrate to be described later is attached to the inside of the cover 1501, a gap is formed between the two connectors provided on the liquid crystal output substrate and the two connector holes formed in the cover 1501; The two connectors provided on the liquid crystal output substrate are respectively exposed from these two connector holes.

  When the wing of the air-cooling fan attached to the peripheral control unit 1500 rotates, the air in the inner space of the cover 1501 is expelled to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the wing by this rotation, thereby performing peripheral control. A plurality of air from the outside of the unit 1500, through the ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover 1501, and the ventilation holes 1540az formed in the shield plate 1540 accommodated in the space between the cover 1501 and the base 1502. , The gap formed in the seven connectors provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the seven connector holes formed on the cover 1501, the volume adjustment switch provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510, and the cover Volume adjustment holes formed in the body 1501 During and through the two connectors provided on the liquid crystal driving board, and two connector hole formed in the cover body 1501, a gap) formed, so that the capturing.

  The total area of the plurality of arc-shaped slit holes formed on the bottom of the fan attachment recess of the cover 1501 (total area) is the area of the vent 1501az formed on the cover 1501 and the above Clearance (seven connectors provided on peripheral control board 1510 and seven connector holes formed on cover 1501; gaps formed on peripheral control board 1510; volume control switch provided on peripheral control board 1510; and formed on cover 1501 Than a volume adjustment hole, a gap formed in the liquid crystal output substrate, and an area in two connectors provided in the liquid crystal output substrate and a gap formed in two connector holes formed in the cover 1501) It is getting smaller. Therefore, when the wing of the air cooling fan attached to the peripheral control unit 1500 rotates, air in the inner space of the cover 1501 is expelled to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the wing by this rotation. A plurality of vents 1501az formed in the cover 1501 from the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500, and a plurality of vents 1540az formed in the shield plate 1540 accommodated in the space between the cover 1501 and the base 1502. The flow velocity of the air flowing into each of the vent holes 1501az formed in the cover body 1501 can be reduced to a small value when taking in. As a result, it is possible to prevent heavy powder called metal powder of the game ball B from invading the inner space of the cover 1501 through the vent holes 1501az under the influence of the flow of air.

  Incidentally, when the wing of the air cooling fan FAN of the peripheral control unit 1500 rotates, the air outside the peripheral control unit 1500 is sucked toward the inner space of the cover 1501 through the wing by this rotation. Because the flow velocity of the air by the rotation of the wing of the wing increases, the probability that the heavy powder of metal powder of the game ball B is sucked toward the inner space of the cover 1501 under the influence of the flow of air increases and sucks An electrical trouble (short circuit) caused by metal powder causes defects (faults) in the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 attached to the inside of the cover 1501 and various electronic components provided on various substrates such as the liquid crystal output substrate 1530. Become.

  Therefore, in order to prevent such an electrical trouble (short circuit), by forming a protrusion along the upper side of the cover 1501 in the peripheral control unit 1500, the heavy powder called metal powder of the game ball B is air cooled. The game ball can be configured to have a function as a weir to prevent it from being sucked into the fan FAN, and by forming a protrusion along the upper side of the fan attachment recess formed in the cover body 1501, the gaming ball It can be configured to have a function as a weir that prevents heavy powder called metal powder of B from being drawn into the air cooling fan FAN, and the distance dimension (thickness) in the depth direction of the air cooling fan FAN is a thin type Is selected (that is, the distance dimension (thickness) in the depth direction of the air-cooling fan FAN compared to the distance dimension in the depth direction of the FAN mounting recess When the air-cooling fan FAN is accommodated in the fan attachment recess formed in the cover 1501 by selecting one having a short distance dimension), the inner wall of the FAN attachment recess allows the heavy powder called metal powder of the game ball B to be the air-cooling fan It can be configured to have a function as a weir that prevents it from being sucked into the FAN. A detailed description of the configuration of the peripheral control unit 1500 will be described later.

  Next, another configuration of the present invention in which a countermeasure against metal powder can be taken such that an electrical trouble caused by the metal powder of gaming ball B can be avoided (hereinafter referred to as “metal powder countermeasure according to second to fifth embodiments Will be described with reference to FIGS. 127 to 130).

The game panel 1100 holds the outer periphery of a flat base plate 1110 which is formed slightly larger than the inner periphery of the frame-shaped front component 1000 and made of a transparent synthetic resin, and the outer periphery of the base panel 1110. And a frame-like panel holder 1120 attached to the rear side of the front component 1000 and to which the back unit 3000 is attached on the rear surface.

  The base panel 1110 of the game panel 1100 is formed of a synthetic resin plate such as acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, polyarylate resin, methacrylic resin or the like, or an inorganic plate such as glass or metal. The thickness of the base panel 1110 is thinner than that of the panel holder 1120, and the minimum necessary thickness (8 to 10 mm) can be sufficiently maintained even if an obstacle nail is planted on the front or the front unit 2000 is attached. It is assumed. In the present embodiment, the base panel 1110 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin plate.

  The base panel plate 1110 is provided with a decorative pattern formed by a plurality of linear grooves on the rear surface. The decoration pattern of this embodiment includes a plurality of horizontal lines extending horizontally at constant intervals, a plurality of upper right oblique lines rotated 60 degrees counterclockwise at the same intervals as the plurality of horizontal lines, horizontal lines and upper right oblique lines And a plurality of upper left diagonal lines rotated clockwise by 60 degrees at the same interval as a plurality of horizontal lines. In other words, the decoration pattern is a geometric pattern in which a plurality of contours of an equilateral triangle formed by horizontal lines, upper right oblique lines and upper left oblique lines are arranged in a fixed pattern. This decoration pattern, when assembled on the game board 5, includes two equilateral triangle contours on the left and right sides of the first starting opening 2002, and three equilateral triangle contours near the upper end of the inner rail 1002. Inside each, there is further provided a pattern consisting of outlines of two equilateral triangles of different sizes.

That is, the radiation light guide portion plays a role of guiding light from one of the plurality of radiation portions connected to itself to the other, whereby the arrangement portion and the number of the panel decoration LED are limited. In this way, the photosensitivity (proportion of the amount of light emitted (reflected) forward) of the entire decorative pattern of the base panel plate 1110 is enhanced. Specifically, the radiation light guide is a radiation which is disposed outside the range of the normal light guiding region from the panel decoration LED 1130a of the upper left panel decoration substrate 1131 described later and the panel decoration LED of the lower left panel decoration substrate The light is directed to the part to cause its emission part to emit light, and the photosensitivity of the entire decoration pattern is enhanced.

  By this, more light is made to reach the radiation light guide portion with respect to the radiation portion of the decoration pattern formed in the portion where the light from the panel decoration LED is difficult to reach (the portion outside the normal light guide region). Thus, the radiation portion can be illuminated and decorated with a sufficient amount of light. Therefore, when the panel decoration LED of the panel decoration substrate is made to emit light, the light incident on the inside of the base panel plate 1110 is reflected forward from the radiation portion and the radiation light guide portion, and a geometry formed of a plurality of equilateral triangle outlines The decorative pattern formed in the design of the design can be lighted and decorated with uniform brightness over substantially the whole.

A setting indicator 1310 g consisting of a 7-segment LED display unit with a decimal point (so-called dot attached) is disposed above the center line of the main control board 1310 X and near the connector MSCN, and the center line of the main control board 1310 X A base monitor 1310 h configured by arranging six line segments of 7-segment LED displays (pointed in a line) from the center toward the right side from the center to the right side is arranged closer to the center of the lower side of the main control board 1310 X. A RAM clear switch 1310 f having a pressing operation unit similar to the pressing operation unit 1311 p of the setting switching button 1311 b is disposed.

  In this embodiment, a position where the setting key K1 is ready to be inserted into the insertion port formed in the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a (for example, a position where the longitudinal direction of the insertion port having a rectangular shape extends in the vertical direction) The setting switch 1311a is turned off as an initial position. When the setting key cylinder is in the initial position, the setting key K1 can be inserted into the insertion slot, and the setting key K1 can be removed from the insertion slot. In the present embodiment, even if the main frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2 while the setting key K1 is inserted into the insertion slot, it is arranged in a row opposite to the island facility of the game hall. The distance dimension of the setting switch 1311a in the depth direction is adopted so that the member of the pachinko machine (or the member of the island facility of the game hall) and the setting key K1 do not interfere with each other and are not damaged.

  The setting switch 1311a can be set to the setting key ON by turning the setting key cylinder clockwise 60 degrees from the initial position and turning the first ON, and the signal of the setting key ON changes the setting. The signal is input from the substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X. Further, the setting key cylinder can be turned 60 degrees counterclockwise from the initial position and turned on by the second ON so that the setting switch 1311a can be set to the determination key ON, and the signal of the determination key ON is The setting change board 1310Y is input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. In addition, the setting key cylinder is counterclockwise to return the setting switch 1311a from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotating position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be turned OFF by being turned 60 degrees toward the direction and turned OFF, and the initial position, which is the original position, from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311a is turned ON. (Ie, the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees so as to return the setting switch 1311a to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder), and the setting switch 1311a is turned OFF by being turned OFF. it can. The OFF signal is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. In this embodiment, two functions completely different from the setting key ON function and the determination key ON function can be realized by only the single setting switch 1311 a depending on the direction in which the setting key is turned. The operation of setting the setting key ON and the operation of setting the determination key ON can be collectively performed only by the single switch 1311 a.

  An opening formed in the cover 1301 of the main control board box 1320 corresponding to the base front of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, the pressing operation unit 1311p of the setting switching button 1311b, and the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f Although exposed to the outside through 1301h, the opening 1301h corresponding to the front of the base of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, the pressing operation portion 1311p of the setting switching button 1311b, and the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f. Of the cover 1301 corresponding to the openings 1301 h of the cover 1301 so that foreign matter such as a wire can not intrude through the “gap” formed on the substrate 1310 Y and the main control substrate 13 10 X. Switch 1311 And a setting switch button 1311b and a RAM clear switch 1310f, a foreign matter intrusion preventing portion 1301v (for example, fitting of the cylindrical members 1301c shown in FIG. 144H) for preventing the intrusion of foreign matter such as a wire is molded respectively. . Although the setting display 1310g and the base monitor 1310h are accommodated in the internal space 1320s formed by the cover 1301 and the base 1302 and can not be touched at all, the cover 1301 is molded to be transparent as described above. Therefore, it is possible to visually recognize the setting value displayed by the setting display 1310g and the number of balls displayed by the base monitor 1310h through the cover body 1301.

  In order to prevent unauthorized alteration, the wiring pattern to which the signal of the setting key ON of the setting switch 1311a is transmitted, the wiring pattern to which the signal of the determination key ON of the setting switch 1311a is transmitted, and the OFF of the setting switch 1311a Are formed so as not to be close to each other (separate from each other) in the setting change substrate 1310Y as a lead-out of the wiring pattern through which the signal of the above is transmitted and the wiring pattern through which the signal from the setting switching button 1311b is transmitted. At the same time, the connection to the terminal of the connector SMCN of the setting change substrate 1310Y (the terminal of the connector MSCN of the main control substrate 1310X) is also formed separately, and various signals from the setting switch 1311a are transmitted also in the main control substrate 1310X. Wiring pattern (that is, the setting key O of the setting switch 1311a Of the setting switch 1311a, and a wiring pattern of transmitting the OFF signal of the setting switch 1311a) and a signal from the setting switching button 1311b. In addition, the wiring with the wiring pattern to be formed is formed so as not to approach each other (separately from each other), and the wiring with the wiring pattern to which the signal from the RAM clear switch 1310 f is transmitted is also not approached as each other. It is formed (spaced apart).

5-4-2-3. Setting switch, setting switching button, setting display]
The setting switch 1311a, the setting switching button 1311b, and the setting display 1 will be briefly described. Here, first, the case of changing the setting value of the game setting will be briefly described, and the case of performing confirmation display of the current setting value will be briefly described. In addition, since the setting key K1 is an important one that can be used to confirm the current setting value set in addition to changing the setting value, two or three persons including the game hall manager have It is owned only by a limited number of people.

  When changing the setting of the set value, the outer frame 2 is restored when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on or when power is restored at the time of power recovery after a power failure (including a momentary power failure due to a momentary power failure). The main frame 4 is opened, and the setting key K1 is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. Thus, it is necessary to establish a "predetermined setting value change permission condition" that the setting switch 1311a is turned on. That is, those who actually change the setting of the setting work first open the body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 and then turn off the power of the pachinko machine 1 with the power switch 630a and then the setting switch 1311a. The setting key K1 is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port, the setting key K1 is turned clockwise by 60 degrees, and the first ON operation is performed to turn on the setting switch 1311a, and then again The power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on by the power switch 630a.

  Therefore, a person who performs setting change of setting values first performs work of opening the main body frame 4 to the outer frame 2, and then turns off the power of the pachinko machine 1 by the power switch 630a of FIG. The setting key K1 is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder, the setting key K1 is turned clockwise by 60 degrees, and the first ON operation is performed to set the setting switch 1311a to the setting key ON. Subsequently, the power switch 630a is operated to power on the pachinko machine 1. Thereby, the signal of the setting key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. The main control MPU 1310 a sets the current setting value stored in the specific area of the built-in RAM (setting value 1 to setting value 6 at the time when the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311 a is first turned on) The set value is displayed on the setting indicator 1310g, and the setting change permission lamp 1311c is switched from the light-off state to the light-on state.

  Next, when the pressing operation unit 1311p of the setting switching button 1311b is pressed, a detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b of the setting change board 1310Y is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. Every time the person who performs setting change of the setting value presses the pressing operation unit of the setting switching button 1311b, the main control MPU 1310a starts from the current setting value based on the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b of the setting changing board 1310Y. When the value is increased by one and reaches the set value 6, which is the maximum value, the control returns to the set value 1, which is the initial value, and is increased again by 1 and performs control to display the set value on the setting indicator 1310g.

  Next, to determine the setting value, turn the setting key cylinder counterclockwise 120 degrees (that is, from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting switch 1311 a is turned on) To return to the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a), turn it 60 degrees counterclockwise and turn it OFF, and then turn 60 degrees counterclockwise. The setting switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (operation). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. As a result, the main control MPU 1310a stores the setting value determined by changing the setting in a specific area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a.

  Next, the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise so as to return the setting switch 1311a to the original position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a) from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder The setting switch 1311 a is turned off by rotating it 60 degrees and turning it off. This setting key OFF signal is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. Thereby, the main control MPU 1310a switches the setting display 1310g to the non-display state, and turns off the setting change permission lamp 1311c.

  Next, the setting key K1 is removed from the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, the body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, and the setting change setting work is completed.

  In addition, when the confirmation display of the set value currently set is performed, the power is restored when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or after a power failure (including a momentary power failure due to a momentary power failure). In the case, the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, and the setting key K1 is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise. By performing the first ON operation, it is necessary to satisfy the "predetermined setting value display permission condition" that the setting switch 1311a is turned on. That is, a person who performs confirmation display of the set value that is currently set is first confirmed after the state in which the pachinko machine 1 is powered on (the state in which the power has recovered due to a power failure or momentary power failure). Do the work of opening the main body frame 4 to the outer frame 2, and then insert the setting key K1 into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a and turn it clockwise by 60 degrees By turning on the setting switch 1311 a, the setting key 1311 is turned on.

  Therefore, the person who confirms the current setting value first confirms the state where the pachinko machine 1 is powered on (the state in which the power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure). Open the main body frame 4 and then insert the setting key K1 into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a and turn it clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. The setting switch 1311a is turned on for the setting key. The signal of the setting key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. The main control MPU 1310 a sets the current setting value stored in the specific area of the built-in RAM (setting value 1 to setting value 6 at the time when the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311 a is first turned on) The set value is displayed on the setting display 1310g. At this time, the state in which the setting change permission lamp 1311c is turned off is maintained, and even if the person who confirms the setting value presses the pressing operation portion 1311p of the setting switching button 1311b, the setting value corresponds to this pressing operation. There is no change at all, and the contents displayed on the setting display 1310g are also not changed.

  Then, when the confirmation of the currently set setting value is completed, from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting switch 1311a is turned on to the original position (that is, from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a) To return, turn it 60 degrees counterclockwise and turn it off. This setting key OFF signal is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X, and the state of the setting value by the setting display 1310g disappears.

  Finally, remove the setting key K1 from the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting switch 1311a, close the body frame 4 to the outer frame 2, and complete the confirmation display of the currently set setting value. Do.

  In addition, as described above, the preset value change permission condition set in advance is at the time of power restoration at the time of power on of the pachinko machine 1 or at the time of power recovery at the time of power failure after power failure (including momentary power failure generating momentary power failure). The main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, and the setting key K1 is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise. While the setting key ON operation needs to be performed by performing the first ON operation, the preset setting value display permission condition is, as described above, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on or a power failure (Including momentary power failure due to a momentary power failure.) After power recovery after power recovery, the main unit frame 4 is opened to the outer frame 2, and the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a. Set to K1 is inserted, it is necessary to set the key cylinder is set key ON operation by the first ON operation is 60 degrees rotation operation toward the clockwise direction. As described above, the predetermined setting change permission condition and the predetermined setting display permission condition are determined by opening the body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 and inserting the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a. There is a common requirement in that the setting key K1 is inserted, the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees, and the setting key is turned ON by the first ON operation. While "set at power recovery" is a requirement of the set value change permission condition, the preset set value display permission condition is different in that "after power recovery" is set as a requirement.

  Here, to explain the setting value of the game setting, “setting value” refers to the probability for lottery determination whether it is a big hit or not, and the probability for lottery determination whether it is a small hit or not, from the time of probability variation It is possible to change the probability for making a lottery determination when shifting to the normal time (collectively referred to as “probability of winning a lottery”), the distribution rate to an area which is advantageous for the player, etc. The probability (degree of advantage) that is advantageous to the player (that is, the number of game balls that can be acquired by the player can be increased) is set in advance. In the present embodiment, set value 1, set value 2, set value 3, set value 4, set value 5 and set value 6 are prepared in advance as set values of a plurality of levels, and set value 1 to set value 6 The probability (advancing degree) to be advantageous to the player is set in advance. The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X uses various tables used in various lottery determinations associated with setting values (for example, a big hit determination table defining the ratio of a big hit determination value indicating that a big hit has been won, a big hit symbol A big hit symbol determination table in which the percentage of the determination value of the determination is defined, a small hit determination table in which the percentage of the small hit determination value indicating that the small hit is won is defined, the percentage of the determination value of the small hit symbol determination is defined Small hit symbol decision table, a normal transition decision table etc. where the ratio of the judgment value of transition decision from definite variation to normal time is specified) or used at various distribution rates associated with setting value Various tables (for example, a distribution table that specifies distribution time, a block that manages driving of an electric drive source such as a motor and a solenoid, etc.) are selected. To or. The various determination values are allocated to the various tables used in the various lottery determinations associated with the set values at a predetermined ratio. The various tables used in the various lottery determinations are set so that at least a part of the values are different from each other, and the various tables used in the various distribution rates are set so that at least a part of the values differ from each other In some cases, the values may differ based on the relationship between the table corresponding to the block managing the drive of one electrical drive source and the table corresponding to the block managing the drive of the other electrical drive source. Some are set to. In addition, although six setting values (integers) ranging from setting value 1 to setting value 6 were used as the setting values described above, they may be in a range smaller than this, or in many ranges. It may be one. For example, four setting values (integers) ranging from setting value 1 to setting value 4 may be used, or eight setting values (integers) ranging from setting value 1 to setting value 8 may be used.

  As described above, the setting display 1310 g displays the set value, and the main control MPU 1310 a checks the contents of the RAM built in itself when the power returns, and determines whether or not there is an abnormality. If it is determined that there is an abnormality, and if the main control side power-off process has not ended normally when the power is shut off, the contents stored in the RAM built in itself are abnormal (or trusted) And an error display telling that effect. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

  Next, to briefly explain the base monitor 1310h, the base monitor 1310h is collected by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a defined in the game board 5 among the game balls fired in the game area 5a. The number of game balls is displayed. Of the game balls fired in the game area 5a, the game balls collected by the out port 1008 are detected by any one of the out port left sensor 1008a and the out port right sensor 1008b, and this detection signal is detected by the panel The data is input to the main control MPU 1310 a via the relay board 1710.

  The main control MPU 1310a counts the number of gaming balls collected by the out port 1008, stores the counting result (total number) in a specific area of the built-in RAM, and displays it on the base monitor 1310h. It has become.

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the decision key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. The setting key is the setting key which turns on the setting switch 1311a from the initial position of the setting switch 1311a. A setting switch that can be operated to rotate only within the range up to the rotational position of the cylinder It may be used as the switch 1311a '. In this case, the setting switch 1311 a ′ is turned counterclockwise from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311 a) The setting switch 1311a 'can be turned on by pressing the setting switch 1311a' by turning it by 60 degrees and turning it off, and a signal of the decision key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. (The mode of the setting switch 1311a ′ may be described as “modification (1) of determination key”).

In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X. However, although not shown, the pressing operation unit is set on the setting change substrate 1310Y. A decision key button may be provided. In this case, the pressing operation unit of the decision key button is exposed to the outside through the opening formed in the cover 1301 of the main control board box 1320 corresponding to the decision key button, and the pressing operation unit of the decision key button The foreign matter intrusion prevention of the setting switching button 1311 b so that foreign matter such as a wire can be intruded from the “gap” formed in the opening corresponding to this to change the setting change substrate 1310 Y and the main control substrate 1310 X A foreign matter intrusion prevention unit similar to the unit 1301v is provided.
When the pressing operation unit of the determination key button is pressed, this operation signal is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. The main control MPU 1310a can determine that the decision key is ON when the pressing operation unit of the decision key button is pressed based on the detection signal from the decision key button, while the pressing operation unit of the decision key button is When the pressing operation is not performed, it can be determined that the determination key is not ON.

  The position where the decision key button is arranged on the setting change board 1310Y may be near the setting switch 1311a or near the setting switching button 1311b. On the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320, a sticker on which the name of each button is printed is attached to the decision key button and the setting switching button 1311b so that the decision key button and the setting switching button 1311b are not confused. (The name of each button may be molded on the cover instead of this seal). Also, in order not to confuse the decision key button and the setting switching button 1311b, a button with a cover (for pressing the pressing operation section) which covers any one pressing operation section of the decision key button and the setting switching button 1311b. The cover may need to be opened), or the color of the pressing unit may be different, or the shape of the outer shape of the enter key button and the setting switching button 1311 b or pressing operation The shape of the part may be different, or another type of switch not having the pressing operation part may be adopted as the determination key button. Other types of switches that do not have a pressing operation unit as the determination key button include, for example, various types such as a toggle switch having a lever, a slide switch having a slide unit, a rotary switch having a rotation operation unit, a rocker switch, and a touch switch. Switch can be mentioned. When the setting change board 1310Y is provided with the determination key button and the setting switching button 1311b, the wiring pattern to the determination key button and the wiring pattern to the setting switching button 1311b are routed in order to prevent unauthorized alteration. And the connection to the terminal of the connector SMCN of the setting change substrate 1310Y (the terminal of the connector MSCN of the main control substrate 1310X) is also separated. In the main control board 1310X as well, the wiring pattern to which the detection signal from the determination key button is transmitted and the wiring pattern to which the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b is transmitted do not approach each other ( They are formed apart from one another. In addition, when the determination key button is provided on the setting change board 1310Y, setting can be performed only in the range from the initial position of the setting switch 1311a to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311a is turned on. The switch 1311a ′ may be used (a mode of the determination key button (a mode of the setting switch 1311a ′ may be included) may be described as “modification of determination key (2)”).

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X. Instead, the palm or finger of the handle unit 180 touches the handle 182 of the handle unit 180. Detection signal from the handle touch sensor 192 for detecting whether or not the player is The detection signal from the one-shot button operation sensor 194, which detects whether or not to forcibly stop the launch of the game ball B by the, is branched in the payout control substrate 633, and the main control substrate 1310X is branched via the payout control substrate 633. The presence or absence of the determination key ON may be determined based on these detection signals that are input to the main control MPU 1310a. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the determination key is ON when the palm or finger is touching the handle 182 based on the detection signal from the handle touch sensor 192, while the palm or finger is on the handle 182 When it is not touched, it can be determined that the decision key is not ON, and / or when the launch of the game ball B is forcibly stopped based on the detection signal from the one-shot button operation sensor 194, the decision key is ON. While it can be determined that there is, when it is not forcibly stopped the launch of the game ball B it can be determined that the determination key is not ON (a mode of the handle touch sensor (even including a mode of a one-shot button operation sensor May be described as “modification of decision key (3)”.

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X. Instead, however, the signal is provided to the emission control unit 633b of the payout control substrate 633 described later. A firing reference pulse is branched from the firing timing control circuit at the dispensing control substrate 633 to be a dispensing control base. 633 through, is input to the main control MPU1310a of the main control board 1310X, may determine whether the determination key ON on the basis of these firing reference pulses. The firing reference pulse is a reference pulse which allows 100 game balls B to be launched toward the game area 5a per minute, and is generated based on a clock signal from the oscillation circuit. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the determination key is ON when the emission reference pulse from the payout control board 633 is input, but determines that the determination key is not ON when the emission reference pulse is not input. (The aspect of the emission reference pulse may be described as “modification of decision key (4)”).

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). Although the signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X, it is possible to detect the action of the player sitting on the other side of the pachinko machine 1 A distance measuring sensor is provided on the game board 5, and a detection signal from the distance measuring sensor is transmitted to the peripheral control substrate 15 via the relay substrate. When it is input to 0, the detection signal from the distance measuring sensor is branched at the relay substrate and input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X via the relay substrate, and the determination key is determined based on the detection signal The presence or absence of ON may be determined. In the distance measuring sensor, the light emitted from the light emitting portion passes through the transparent glass plate 162 of the glass unit 160 in the door frame 3, and is reflected to the player's arm or hand within a predetermined distance dimension. The reflected light passes through the transparent glass plate 162 again and is received by the light receiving unit, whereby the action of the player can be detected. In this case, when the detection signal from the distance measuring sensor is input through the relay board, the main control MPU 1310a determines the presence or absence of the operation based on the detection signal, and when it is determined that the operation is present, the determination key is ON. While it can be determined that there is an operation, when it is determined that there is no operation, it can be determined that the determination key is not ON (an aspect of the distance measurement sensor may be described as "modification 5 of determination key") .

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the setting key cylinder can be turned 60 degrees clockwise from the initial position and turned on by the first ON so that the setting switch 1311a can be set to the setting key ON. The signal of the setting key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees counterclockwise from the initial position to perform the second ON operation. Thus, the setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON, and the signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X, and the setting switch 1311a is set the setting key ON.

The setting key cylinder is turned clockwise so that the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the determination key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be turned OFF by being turned 60 degrees toward the head and turned OFF, and a signal of this OFF can be input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. Setting key ON, decision key ON, and Information to tell OFF, as serial information, a serial output circuit capable of serially outputting to the outside, may be provided to set the switch 1311a. Thereby, security can be improved with respect to the signal from the setting switch 1311a. The setting switch 1311 a provided with the serial output circuit is provided on the setting change substrate 1310 Y, but may be provided on the main control substrate 1310 X or on the payout control substrate 633 instead. When serial information serially output from the serial output circuit is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X, the main control MPU 1310a selects the setting key ON, the determination key ON, and the like from received serial information. It is possible to determine which one is to be transmitted among OFF (the mode of the setting switch 1311a having a serial circuit may be described as "modification (6) of determination key").

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the setting key cylinder can be turned 60 degrees clockwise from the initial position and turned on by the first ON so that the setting switch 1311a can be set to the setting key ON.

Thus, the setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON, and the signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X, and the setting switch 1311a is set the setting key ON. Initial position which is the original position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder It is possible to turn off the setting switch 1311a by rotating the setting key cylinder counterclockwise 60 degrees and turning it off so as to return the rotation of the setting key cylinder to turn the switch 1311a off. The setting key cylinder is turned clockwise so that the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the determination key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be turned OFF by being turned 60 degrees toward the head and turned OFF, and a signal of this OFF can be input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. Setting key ON, decision key ON, and Information to tell OFF, as a pulse signal, a pulse output circuit which can output to the outside, may be provided to set the switch 1311a. Thereby, security can be improved with respect to the signal from the setting switch 1311a. The setting switch 1311 a provided with this pulse output circuit is provided on the setting change substrate 1310 Y, but may be provided on the main control substrate 1310 X or on the payout control substrate 633 instead. For example, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the pulse output circuit is set to 1 ms in the case of information for transmitting the setting key ON, and the pulse width is set in 3 ms in the information for transmitting the determination key ON. And the pulse width is set to 5 ms in the case of information to convey OFF. When the pulse signal output from this pulse output circuit is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X, the main control MPU 1310a starts the setting key ON from the input pulse signal, the determination key ON, It is possible to determine which of the two and OFF the information is to be transmitted (a mode of the setting switch 1311a having a pulse output circuit may be described as "modification (7) of determination key").

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the setting key cylinder can be turned 60 degrees clockwise from the initial position and turned on by the first ON so that the setting switch 1311a can be set to the setting key ON. The signal of the setting key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees counterclockwise from the initial position to perform the second ON operation. Thus, the setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON, and the signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X, and the setting switch 1311a is set the setting key ON. Initial position which is the original position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder It is possible to turn off the setting switch 1311a by rotating the setting key cylinder counterclockwise 60 degrees and turning it off so as to return the rotation of the setting key cylinder to turn the switch 1311a off. The setting key cylinder is turned clockwise so that the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the determination key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be turned OFF by being turned 60 degrees toward the head and turned OFF, and a signal of this OFF can be input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. The voltage level of the signal of the setting key ON The voltage level of the determination key ON signal and the voltage level of the OFF signal are set to an intermediate potential (for example, 2 V to 3 V out of zero V to 5 V) between the substrates ranging from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control substrate 1310X. A comparator circuit is provided on the main control board 1310X using the potentials up to), and the comparison result by the comparator circuit is input to the main control MPU 1310a, whereby the main control MPU 1310a turns ON / OFF the signal of the setting key ON, and the determination key It is also possible to determine ON / OFF of the ON signal and ON / OFF of the OFF signal. Thereby, security can be improved with respect to the signal from the setting switch 1311 a (an aspect of the setting switch using the intermediate potential may be described as “modification (8) of determination key”).

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X. However, instead of this, the determination key button having a pressing operation portion on the payout control substrate 633 May be provided. In this case, the pressing operation unit of the decision key button is exposed through the opening formed in the cover of the payout control board box 632 corresponding to the decision key button, and corresponds to the pressing operation unit of the decision key button And a structure in which the wire intrusion preventing portion is molded to the cover body with respect to the opening so that the dispensing control substrate 633 can not be modified by intrusion of a wire or the like from the “gap” formed in the opening. Become. When the pressing operation unit of the determination key button is pressed, this operation signal is input from the payout control board 633 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 X. The main control MPU 1310a can determine that the decision key is ON when the pressing operation unit of the decision key button is pressed based on the detection signal from the decision key button, while the pressing operation unit of the decision key button is When the pressing operation is not performed, it can be determined that the determination key is not ON.

  The position where the enter key button is arranged on the payout control substrate 633 may be in the vicinity of an error release switch 633d having a pressing operation unit described later. The cover of the dispensing control board 633 has a sticker with the name of each button printed on the position corresponding to each of the decision key button and the error clearing switch 633d so that the decision key button and the error clearing switch 633d are not confused. It is stuck (in place of this seal, the name of each button may be molded on the cover). Also, in order to prevent confusion between the decision key button and the error release switch 633d, a button with a cover that covers any one of the press operation portion of the decision key button and the error release switch 633d (for pressing the pressing operation portion The cover may need to be opened) or a different color of the pressing part may be adopted, or the shape of the outline of the decision key button and the error release switch 633d or the pressing operation The shape of the part may be different, or another type of switch not having the pressing operation part may be adopted as the determination key button. Other types of switches that do not have a pressing operation unit as the determination key button include, for example, various types such as a toggle switch having a lever, a slide switch having a slide unit, a rotary switch having a rotation operation unit, a rocker switch, and a touch switch. Switch can be mentioned. In addition, when the determination control button 633 and the error release switch 633d are provided on the payout control board 633, in order to prevent unauthorized alteration, the wiring pattern of the determination key button and the wiring pattern of the error release switch 633d are routed. Are formed so as not to be close to each other (detached from each other) in the payout control board 633, and connections to terminals of the connector of the payout control board 633 (terminals of the connector of the main control board 1310X) are also spaced apart Also in the main control board 1310X, the wiring pattern to which the detection signal from the determination key button is transmitted and the wiring pattern to which the detection signal from the error release switch 633d is transmitted do not approach each other (the mutual Spaced apart).

The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X. However, instead of this, an error release switch having a pressing operation portion on the payout control substrate 633. The signal from 633 d is branched at the payout control board 633 and is delivered via the payout control board 633. Is input to the main control MPU1310a control board 1310X, may determine whether the determination key ON on the basis of this signal.

Therefore, the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the determination key is ON when the pressing operation portion of the error release switch 633d is operated based on the signal from the error release switch 633d, while the main control MPU 1310a can determine from the error release switch 633d. It can be determined based on the signal that the determination key is not ON when the pressing operation portion of the error release switch 633d is not operated. Thereby, security can be improved with respect to the presence or absence of the decision key (an aspect of the error release switch may be described as “modification of decision key (10)”).

As described above, the error release switch 633d is for releasing the error displayed on the error LED indicator 633c, and after power recovery, the system of the pachinko machine 1 is completely started (power supplies of various control boards When the time input processing is completed and interrupt processing is performed) and no error occurs as the state of the pachinko machine 1, there is no operation at all on the pressing operation portion of the error release switch 633d. Therefore, in the frame command reception process in the main control timer interrupt process described later, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the payout control MPU 633aa determines that the pressing operation unit is operated based on the signal from the error release switch 633d. When the command to transmit is received, it can be determined that the determination key is ON, while the payout control MPU 633aa determines that the pressing operation unit is not operated based on the signal from the error release switch 633d, and transmits a command to that effect. When it is determined that the decision key is not ON. Thereby, security can be improved with respect to the presence / absence of the decision key (an error release switch mode 2 may be described as “variation example of decision key (11)”).

Therefore, the power on of the pachinko machine 1 is performed while the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is pressed to always clear the predetermined area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310 a itself, the RAM clear switch 1310 f The main control MPU 1310a uses the decision key ON when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed based on the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f provided on the payout control board 633. On the basis of the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310 f provided on the payout control board 633, it is determined that the determination key is not ON when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is not pressed.

On the cover of the payout control board 633, the names of the buttons are printed at positions corresponding to the RAM clear switch 1310f and the error release switch 633d, respectively, so that the RAM clear switch 1310f and the error release switch 633d are not confused. A seal is attached (the name of each button may be molded on the cover instead of the seal). Also, to prevent confusion between the RAM clear switch 1310 f and the error release switch 633 d, a button with a cover (press operation on the press operation unit) that covers either one of the RAM clear switch 1310 f and the error release switch 633 d In order to do this, it is necessary to open the cover) or to use a different pressing operation unit color, or the shape of the external shape of the RAM clear switch 1310 f and the error release switch 633 d. Alternatively, one having a different shape of the pressing portion may be employed, or another type of switch not having the pressing portion may be employed as the RAM clear switch 1310 f. For example, a toggle switch having a lever, a slide switch having a slide portion, a rotary switch having a rotational operation portion, a rotary switch, a rocker switch, a touch switch, etc., as the RAM clear switch 1310 f. Various switches can be mentioned. When the RAM clear switch 1310f and the error release switch 633d are provided on the payout control board 633, the wiring pattern to the RAM clear switch 1310f and the wiring pattern to the error release switch 633d are provided in order to prevent unauthorized alteration.

  In the embodiment described above, the out-port left sensor 1008a and the out-port right sensor 1008b are input to the main control board 1310X via the panel relay board 1710, and the setting key 1311a is turned on by the setting key. Turn it 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn it back to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a) The setting switch 1311a can be made to be the determination key ON by performing a second ON operation by rotating it by 60 degrees, and the signal of the determination key ON can be sent from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. It was supposed to be input, but instead, the out-port left sensor 10 8a and the logic of the detection signal from the out-port right sensor 1008b are monitored in the port input process of the payout control unit power-on process described later by the payout control MPU 633aa of the payout control board 633 to create a command, and payout control described later The command created in the command transmission process of the part power on process may be transmitted to the main control board 1310X, and the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X having received this command may determine the presence / absence of the determination key ON. As described above, the game balls emitted to the game area 5a partitioned in the game board 5 are collected by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a. As described above, the gaming ball collected by the out-port 1008 is detected by one of the out-port left sensor 1008 a and the out-port right sensor 1008 b. Therefore, the main control MPU 1310a collects the game ball by the out port 1008 based on the detection signals from the out port left sensor 1008a and the out port right sensor 1008b in the frame command reception process in the main control timer interrupt process described later. When it is determined that the payout control MPU 633aa determines and the command to convey that is received, it can be determined that the decision key is ON, but the payout control MPU 633aa determines that the gaming ball has not been collected by the out port 1008, and When the command to notify that is received, it can be determined that the decision key is not ON. In this case, the setting switch 1311a 'may be configured to rotate only in a range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311 is turned on from the initial position (aspect 2 of the out port switch) (A mode of the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be included.) May be described as “modification of determination key (15)”. In this case, a person who changes the setting of the setting value needs to open the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4 and send the game ball B to the out port 1008 in order to set the decision key ON.

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X, but instead, the full tank detection sensor 154, the ball cut detection sensor 574, or A detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 is input to the payout control MPU 633 aa of the payout control board 633. Both are branched in the payout control substrate 633 and input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X via the payout control substrate 633, and the main control MPU 1310a determines the presence / absence of the determination key ON based on these detection signals. Good, the logic of the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154, the ball out detection sensor 574, or the payout detection sensor 591 in the port input process of the payout control processing when the payout control MPU 633aa of the payout control board 633 described later The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X which has monitored and created a command and transmitted the command created in the command transmission process of the delivery control processing at the time of payout control processing described later to the main control board 1310X and received this command The presence or absence of ON may be determined. In this case, the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be operated to rotate only in the range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311 is turned on from the initial position The aspect of the switch 1311 a ′ may be included.) May be described as “modification of decision key (16)”.

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X. Instead of this, the main control MPU 1310a detects the detection from the main body frame open switch 4b. When the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2 based on the signal, it is determined that the determination key is ON. While it is possible, it can be determined not determined key ON when the state that the main body frame 4 is opened to the outer frame 2 is maintained. In this case, the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be operated to rotate only within a range extending from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311 is turned on from the initial position (A mode of the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be included.) May be described as “modification of determination key (17)”. In this case, a person who changes the setting of the set value needs to close the main frame 4 to the outer frame 2 in order to set the decision key to ON. It is necessary to open the main body frame 4 again, remove the setting key K1 from the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, and close the main body frame 4 to the outer frame 2 again.

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. Instead of this, the main control MPU 1310a detects the door frame opening switch 4a. When the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4 based on the signal, it is determined that the determination key is ON DOO while can, it can be determined not determined key ON when the state that the door frame 3 is closed relative to the body frame 4 is maintained. In this case, the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be operated to rotate only in the range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder whose setting key is turned on from the initial position (a mode of the door frame opening switch (A mode of the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be included.) May be described as “modification of determination key (17)”. In this case, the person who changes the setting of the set value needs to open the door frame 3 to the main body frame 4 in order to set the determination key ON. It is necessary to close the door frame 3 again, remove the setting key from the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311 a, and close the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2.

  In the embodiment described above, the initial position, which is the original position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311a provided on the setting change board 1310Y is turned on (that is, the rotation of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a) To return to the position) turn it 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn it OFF, and then turn it counterclockwise 60 degrees) to turn on the second ON key to confirm the setting switch 1311 a The signal of the determination key ON can be turned ON, and the signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X, but the setting switch 1311a is provided on the main control substrate 1310X (The mode of the setting switch is described as “modification of decision key (18)”. There is a case to be).

  In the embodiment described above, the initial position, which is the original position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311a provided on the setting change board 1310Y is turned on (that is, the rotation of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a) To return to the position) turn it 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn it OFF, and then turn it counterclockwise 60 degrees) to turn on the second ON key to confirm the setting switch 1311 a The signal of the determination key ON can be set to ON, and the setting change substrate 1310Y is input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X. The setting switch 1311a is provided on the main control substrate 1310X. , The setting key 1311 a is turned on by the setting key, the number of times of the setting key cylinder The setting switch 1311a can be turned OFF by being turned from the position to the initial position and turned OFF, and the signal of this OFF can be input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X, thereby the main control MPU 1310a. When the OFF signal is input, it can be determined that the decision key is ON, but when the OFF signal is not input, it can be determined that the decision key is not ON. In this case, the setting switch 1311a ′ may be configured to be able to turn only the range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311 is turned on from the initial position The mode of the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be included.) May be described as “modification of decision key (19)”.

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change substrate 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control substrate 1310X. However, instead of this, the determination key button having the pressing operation unit on the main control substrate 1310X May be provided. In this case, the pressing operation unit of the decision key button is exposed through the opening formed in the cover 1301 of the main control board box 1320 corresponding to the decision key button, and the pressing operation unit of the decision key button Between the portion corresponding to the opening of the cover 1301 and the pressing operation portion so that the main control board 1310X can not be modified by invading a wire or the like from the “gap” formed in the corresponding opening. The same foreign matter intrusion prevention part as the foreign matter intrusion prevention part 1301v (see FIG. 144H) is formed. When the pressing operation unit of the determination key button is pressed, this operation signal is input to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 X. The main control MPU 1310a can determine that the decision key is ON when the pressing operation unit of the decision key button is pressed based on the detection signal from the decision key button, while the pressing operation unit of the decision key button is When the pressing operation is not performed, it can be determined that the determination key is not ON.

  The position where the decision key button is arranged on the main control board 1310X may be in the vicinity of the RAM clear switch 1310f. The cover of the main control board box 1320 is a sticker on which the names of the respective buttons are printed at positions corresponding to the determination key button and the RAM clear switch 1310 f so that the determination key button and the RAM clear switch 1310 f are not confused. (The name of each button may be molded on the cover instead of this seal). Also, in order to prevent confusion between the enter key button and the RAM clear switch 1310 f, a button with a cover that covers the press operation part of either the enter key button and the RAM clear switch 1310 f (for pressing the press operation portion The cover may need to be opened), or the color of the pressing portion may be different, or the shape of the outer shape of the enter key button and the RAM clear switch 1310 f or the pressing operation The shape of the part may be different, or another type of switch not having the pressing operation part may be adopted as the determination key button. Other types of switches that do not have a pressing operation unit as the determination key button include, for example, various types such as a toggle switch having a lever, a slide switch having a slide unit, a rotary switch having a rotation operation unit, a rocker switch, and a touch switch. Switch can be mentioned. When the determination key button and the RAM clear switch 1310 f are provided on the main control board 1310 X, the wiring pattern to the determination key button and the wiring pattern to the RAM clear switch 13 10 f are routed in order to prevent unauthorized alteration. The main control boards 1310X are formed so as not to be close to each other (spaced apart from each other). In addition, when the determination key button is provided on the main control board 1310X, setting can be performed only in the range from the initial position of the setting switch 1311a to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311a is turned on. The switch 1311a ′ may be used (a mode 2 of the determination key button (a mode of the setting switch 1311a ′ may be included) may be described as “modification of determination key (20)”).

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. Instead of this, the main control MPU 1310a is input from the RAM clear switch 1310f. The presence or absence of the enter key may be determined based on the operation signal. As described later, the RAM clear switch 1310 f operates the pressing operation unit at the time of power recovery (precisely, when powering on the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f ), When performing setting change capable of changing and determining the setting value (when the main control MPU 1310 a performs setting change processing described later), the main control MPU 1310 a is configured in a predetermined area of RAM (RAM Clear all the areas except for the specific area. Therefore, the power on of the pachinko machine 1 is performed while the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is pressed to always clear the predetermined area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310 a itself, the RAM clear switch 1310 f The main control MPU 1310a determines that the determination key is ON when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed based on the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f. It is possible to determine that the determination key is not ON when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is not pressed based on the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310 f provided on the payout control substrate 633. Thus, security can be improved with respect to the presence or absence of the decision key ON. In this case, the setting switch 1311a 'may be configured to be able to rotate only in the range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311 is turned on from the initial position (aspect 3 of the RAM clear switch) (A mode of the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be included.) May be described as “modification of determination key (21)”. The period during which the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is pressed is limited to the time when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310 f is of the payout control board 633 as described later. Since it is input to the payout control MPU 633 aa, when the RAM clear switch 1310 f also functions as an error release switch 633 d described later, the error clear switch 633 d is not necessary for the payout control board 633.

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. However, instead of this, the gate sensor of the gate portion 2003 provided on the game board 5 2401, various sensors of various winning openings (for example, second starting opening sensor 2402, large winning opening sensor 2403 The main control MPU 1310a receives detection signals from the first inlet sensor 2406, the general winning opening sensor 3001, the first start port sensor 3002), the out port left sensor 1008a of the out port 1008, and the out port right sensor 1008b. The presence or absence of the determination key ON may be determined based on the detection signal. In this case, the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be operated to rotate only in the range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311 is turned on from the initial position. The mode of the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be included.) May be described as “modification of determination key (22)”. In this case, a person who changes the setting of the set value opens the door frame 3 to the main body frame 4 to send the game ball B to the gate unit 2003 to set the decision key ON, and performs various winnings. It is necessary to send the game ball B to the mouth and send the game ball B to the out port 1008.

The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. Instead of this, the main control MPU 1310a is a stepping motor, a DC motor, a solenoid, etc. Drive control of the electrical drive source to control the operation of the movable body (character), an optical sensor When the original position or the operating position of the movable body (character object) is determined based on the detection signal from the photo sensor, distance measuring sensor, etc.), the main control MPU 1310a determines based on the detection signal from the optical sensor The presence or absence of the key ON may be determined. In this case, the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be operated to rotate only in the range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311 is turned on from the initial position. The mode (which may include the mode of the setting switch 1311 a ′) may be described as “modification of determination key (23)”. In this case, the person who performs the setting change of the setting value opens the door frame 3 to the main body frame 4 in order to set the decision key ON, and the optical sensor indicates the original position of the movable body (characters) It is necessary to move the movable body (object) so as to detect the movement position and the like.

The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. However, instead of this, a magnetic sensor for detecting illegal magnetism in the game area 5a The main control MPU 1310a to which the detection signal from 3003 is input is a detection signal from the magnetic sensor 3003 It may determine the presence or absence of a decision key ON based. In this case, the setting switch 1311 a ′ may be operated to rotate only within a range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on from the initial position The aspect of the switch 1311 a ′ may be included.) May be described as “modification of decision key (24)”. In this case, the person who changes the setting of the setting value needs to bring the magnet closer to the front of the game board 5 from the front of the pachinko machine 1 in order to set the decision key ON.

  In the embodiment described above, the setting switch 1311a is returned from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder which turns off the setting switch 1311a). The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X. Instead, the pachinko machine 1 is shaken or beaten by pachinko machines. Change the course of the game ball flowing down the game area 5a which is divided into the game board 5 by applying vibration to the machine 1 to change the game In the case where the game board 5 is provided with a vibration sensor for detecting fraudulent actions to be made to enter various prize winning openings and gate portions (gates) provided in 5, the main control MPU 1310a performs fraudulent action based on a detection signal from the vibration sensor While determining the presence or absence, the presence or absence of the determination key ON may be determined based on a detection signal from the vibration sensor.

The setting switch 1311a can be set as the determination key ON by performing the second ON operation by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and further performing the 60 deg rotation operation counterclockwise). The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the main control board 1310 X and the setting change board 1310 Y are accommodated in the internal space 1320 s of the main control board box 1320 configured by the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302. 1310Y may be accommodated in a separate setting change substrate box and arranged around or adjacent to the main control substrate box 1320. In the main control board box 1320, the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are crimped by a one-way screw or the like of the crimped portion 1303. The caulking unit 1303 is a sealing mechanism, and includes a plurality of caulking units. The main control board box 1320 can be closed by caulking the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 with a one-way screw or the like of the caulking portion 1303 using one sealing mechanism, and then, the main control board box 1320 is opened.

It may be configured to be Based on the detection signal from the setting change board cover body opening / closing switch, the case where the cover body is opened from the base body can be included in the above-described predetermined setting value change permission condition described above (setting change board box The aspect of may be described as "modification of decision key (28)".

  In the embodiment described above, the connector SMCN of the setting change substrate 1310Y is connected to the terminal of the connector MSCN of the main control substrate 1310X, and the setting key of the setting switch 1311a is used to prevent unauthorized modification. The wiring pattern through which the signal of ON is transmitted, the wiring pattern through which the signal of the determination key ON of the setting switch 1311a is transmitted, the wiring pattern through which the signal of OFF the setting switch 1311a is transmitted, and the signal from the setting switching button 1311b Are formed so as not to approach each other (separate from each other) in the setting change substrate 1310Y as a lead-out of the wiring pattern to be transmitted, and the terminals of the connector SMCN of the setting change substrate 1310Y (the main control substrate 1310X The connections to the terminals of connector MSCN) are also formed separately Also in the main control board 1310X, the wiring pattern through which various signals from the setting switch 1311a are transmitted (that is, the wiring pattern through which the signal of the setting key ON of the setting switch 1311a is transmitted, the signal of the determination key ON of the setting switch 1311a is transmitted And the wiring pattern for transmitting the signal from the setting switch button 1311b and the wiring pattern for transmitting the signal from the setting switching button 1311b not to approach each other (spaced apart from each other) The wiring pattern on which the setting key ON signal of the setting switch 1311a is transmitted, and the wiring pattern on which the determination key ON signal of the setting switch 1311a is transmitted. Is different from the connector SMCN of the setting change board 1310Y. The other connector provided on the main control substrate 1310X separately from the connector MSCN of the main control substrate 1310X may be connector-connected (inter-board connection) via another connector provided on the setting change substrate 1310Y. The other connector provided on the setting change substrate 1310Y and the other connector provided on the main control substrate 1310X may be electrically connected via the harness (determination of the wiring pattern routing mode It may be described as “Modification (29)” of

  In addition, among the above-described modification examples (1) to (29) of the determination key, an aspect appropriately selected and combined may be adopted (a form of the selection combination of the modification is referred to as “modification example of determination key (30) It may be described as ").

  Also, with the above-mentioned set value, in addition to the probability for lottery determination whether it is a big hit or not, and the probability for lottery determination whether it is a small hit or not, to make lottery determination when transitioning from definite variation time to normal time Probability of changing the distribution rate to the area which is advantageous for the player, etc., which is advantageous for the player (that is, to increase the number of game balls that the player can acquire) The probability (the degree of advantage) is set in advance. In the present embodiment, as the set values, set value 1, set value 2, set value 3, set value 4, set value 5, and set value 6 are prepared in advance, and from set value 1 to set value 6 The probability (degree of advantage) to be advantageous to the player is set in advance. By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, although there are a plurality of setting values ranging from the setting value 1 to the setting value 6, there is a probability (advantagement degree) that the player is advantageous to other pachinko machines. Some have a single preset value set. That is, as in the case of the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the probability (advantagement degree) to be advantageous to the player exists in advance as a plurality of set values, which is advantageous to the player There is a probability (advantagement degree) of a gaming specification in which only a single set value exists in advance and the setting change is not required at all. However, if the hardware configuration of the main control board 1310X is changed in design according to such game specifications and the hardware configuration of the setting change board 1310Y is changed in design or not used, the main control board 1310X and the setting change board 1310Y Is dependent on the game specification, it has a main control board 1310X and a setting change board 1310Y having similar or different hardware configurations according to the game specification. Therefore, there is a demand for a main control board 1310X and a setting change board 1310Y which can be used in common without depending on the game specification, that is, without changing the design of the hardware configuration.

  For example, in a game specification in which there is only a single set value and there is no need to change the setting at all (probability degree) that the advantage (advantagement degree) to be advantageous to the player is required Because there is no need to use it as a device, it is necessary to cope with the design change by the software that assigns the following contents: set value 1, set value 2, set value 3, set value 4, set value 5, and set value 6 as follows. Can.

  For example, after the main control MPU 1310a clears a predetermined area (an area excluding the specific area in the entire area of the RAM) of the RAM incorporated therein, a plurality of actual machine check operation patterns can be set (after the RAM is cleared) The start method of the pachinko machine 1 can be used as a set value). In this case, the main control MPU 1310a controls the operation of the movable body (characters) to be controlled, the lighting of the light emitter such as a lamp or LED, etc. Actual operation confirmation pattern 1 is assigned to specify operation of object, lighting of light emitter), and actual operation confirmation pattern 2 to specify "operation of movable body (character)" is assigned as setting value 2 The actual machine confirmation operation pattern 3 for designating “lighting of the light emitter” is assigned as the value 3 and “detailed operation of the movable body (character), movement over the entire operation area, other as the setting value 4 An actual machine check operation pattern 4 for specifying an operation such as an interference check with a structure or another movable body (character), an operation sequence with another movable body (character), etc.) is assigned. Light emitter 1 port unit (main control MP A real machine confirmation operation pattern 5 is assigned that specifies "lighting of the light emitter in a predetermined output port unit of 1310a (that is, every one output port)", and a real machine confirmation specifying "no operation" as the setting value 6 The operation pattern 6 is assigned (a mode of change setting of the actual machine confirmation operation after clearing the RAM may be described as "modification (1) according to common hardware configuration"). The main control MPU 1310 a repeatedly performs main control side timer interrupt processing to be described later, and performs operation of a movable body (feature) and lighting of a light emitter such as a lamp or an LED, by repeatedly performing an actual device check operation after clearing the RAM. The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a is a movable body that is to be controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 with the content (actual machine check operation pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. The operation of (characters) and the lighting of the light emitter can be performed. By changing the setting of the actual machine confirmation operation after clearing the RAM, it is possible to have variations in the starting method of the pachinko machine 1 after clearing the RAM.

  In addition, for example, it is possible to use as a set value which can set a plurality of times from the end of the fluctuation of the symbol to the demonstration (demonstration effect to be performed in the player waiting state). In this case, time setting pattern 1 specifying "10 seconds" is assigned as setting value 1, time setting pattern 2 specifying "15 seconds" as setting value 2 is allocated, and "20 seconds setting as setting value 3 Time setting pattern 3 for designating "is assigned, time setting pattern 4 for designating" 25 seconds "as setting value 4 is assigned, and time setting pattern 5 for designating" 30 seconds "as setting value 5 is assigned, The time setting pattern 6 for designating "35 seconds" is assigned as the setting value 6 (A mode of the change setting of the time in which the player is in the waiting state after the fluctuation of the symbol is finished. It may be described as "). The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a can start the demonstration in a time (time setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. By changing the setting of the time in which the player is in the waiting state after the end of the fluctuation of the symbol, the time from the end of the fluctuation of the symbol to the demonstration can be varied.

  Further, for example, it is possible to use as a set value which can set a plurality of contents of a demonstration (demonstration effect to be performed in a player waiting state) performed after the end of the fluctuation of the symbol. In this case, a demonstration effect setting pattern 1 for assigning "comical effect" as the setting value 1 is assigned, and a demonstration effect setting pattern for specifying "comical effect, operation effect of the movable body (character)" as the setting value 2 2 is assigned, demo effect setting pattern 3 which designates “serious effect” as setting value 3 is assigned, and demonstration effect setting pattern which designates “serial effect, operation effect of movable body (character)” as setting value 4 4 is assigned, demonstration effect setting pattern 5 which designates “contemporary drama-like effect” as setting value 5 is assigned, and “democratic direction effect, movable object (character)” is designated as setting value 6 demonstration effect setting Pattern 6 is assigned (a mode of change setting of contents of demonstration effect may be described as “modification (3) according to common hardware configuration”). The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a can perform a demonstration with a demonstration effect (demonstration effect setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. By changing the setting of the contents of the demonstration effect, the contents of the demonstration effect to be performed after the end of the fluctuation of the symbol can have variations.

  Also, for example, it can be used as a set value capable of setting a plurality of default sound volumes adjusted by the slide type sound volume adjustment switch 1510d provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510. By sliding the volume adjustment switch 1510d, the volume can be increased or decreased from the default volume. In this case, volume setting pattern 1 specifying "volume 1" is assigned as setting value 1, volume setting pattern 2 specifying "volume 2" as setting value 2, and "volume 3" setting value 3. "Volume setting pattern 3 specifying" is assigned, volume setting pattern 4 specifying "volume 4" as setting value 4 is assigned, and volume setting pattern 5 specifying "volume 5" as setting value 5 is assigned, A volume setting pattern 6 specifying "volume 6" is assigned as the setting value 6 (a mode of change setting of default volume may be described as "modification (4) according to common hardware configuration"). The volume is set to increase from the setting value 1 to the setting value 6. In the peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a, the default sound volume is set at the volume (volume setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. In addition, the default volume of "volume 1" assigned to setting value 1 is moved in the direction to decrease the volume of the slide type volume adjustment switch 1510d (is moved in the opposite direction to the direction to increase the volume) When movement to the end is completed and adjusted to the minimum side volume, the sound may be muted, or it may be a volume that can recognize a sound when it stops at the front of the pachinko machine. In addition, the default volume of “volume 6” assigned to setting value 6 is moved in the direction of increasing the volume of the slide type volume adjustment switch 1510d (is moved in the opposite direction of the direction of decreasing the volume) When the movement to the end is completed and adjusted to the maximum side volume, the maximum volume may be set, or the volume may be set to a predetermined ratio (for example, 85%) of the maximum volume. According to this aspect of changing and setting the default volume, the default volume adjusted by the slide type volume adjustment switch 1510d provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 can have variations.

  Also, for example, it can be used as a set value that can set a plurality of volume of error notification sound in error notification such as various problems, goths and errors. The various error notification sounds can not be adjusted by the operation of the slide type volume adjustment switch 1510 d provided on the peripheral control board 1510 (that is, not depended on), and pachinko by which the error notification sound is emitted by setting the maximum volume Although it is easy for a clerk or the like in the game hall to notice the machine, the player who is playing a game with another pachinko machine may feel uncomfortable. Then, what can adjust the volume of various error alarm | sounds is also calculated | required. In this case, the error notification volume setting pattern 1 specifying "error notification volume 1" is assigned as the setting value 1, and the error notification volume setting pattern 2 specifying "error notification volume 2" as the setting value 2 is assigned. Error notification volume setting pattern 3 specifying "error notification volume 3" as setting value 3 is assigned, error notification volume setting pattern 4 specifying "volume 4" as setting value 4 is assigning, "setting value 5" Error notification volume setting pattern 5 specifying error notification volume 5 is assigned, and error notification volume setting pattern 6 specifying "error notification volume 6 (maximum volume)" is assigned as setting value 6 (volume of error notification tone The aspect of the change setting of may be described as “modification (5) according to common hardware configuration”. It should be noted that the setting value 6 (maximum sound volume) from the setting value 1 (a sound volume that does not become muffled and can detect the error notification sound when stopped at the front of the pachinko machine that emits the error notification sound) The volume of the error notification sound is set to increase toward the volume at which the error notification sound can be sufficiently recognized even if several meters away from the pachinko machine that emits the error notification sound. The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310 a performs control to emit an error notification sound at the volume of the error notification sound (error notification volume setting pattern) corresponding to the setting value included in the setting change command. By changing the setting of the volume of the error alerting sound, it is possible to give variation to the volume of the error alerting sound in the error alerting.

  Also, for example, it can be used as a set value that can set a plurality of default luminances of light emitters such as lamps and LEDs. The luminance can be increased or decreased from the default luminance with respect to the light emitter to be controlled by the main control MPU 1310 a. In this case, default brightness setting pattern 1 specifying "brightness 1" is assigned as setting value 1, default brightness setting pattern 2 specifying "brightness 2" as setting value 2 is assigned, and setting value 3 " Default luminance setting pattern 3 specifying "brightness 3" is assigned, default brightness setting pattern 4 specifying "brightness 4" is assigned as setting value 4, and default brightness setting pattern specifying "brightness 5" as setting value 5 5 is assigned, and a default brightness setting pattern 6 for designating "brightness 6" is assigned as setting value 6 (a case where the change setting mode of default brightness is described as "modification example (6) by common hardware configuration" is there). The main control MPU 1310a adjusts the brightness of the light emitter by repeating the main control timer interrupt process described later, changing the setting of the default brightness, and performs lighting, blinking, and gradation points of the light emitter. The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a is a target to be controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 based on the default luminance (default luminance setting pattern) corresponding to the setting value included in the setting change command. The brightness of the light emitter can be adjusted to perform lighting, blinking, gradation points and the like of the light emitter. By changing the setting of the contents of the default brightness, it is possible to give variations to the default brightness of the light emitter such as a lamp or an LED.

  In addition, for example, it can be used as a set value that can set a plurality of luminances of light emitters such as lamps and LEDs in notification of errors such as various defects, gotos and errors. An error notification luminance setting pattern 1 specifying “error notification luminance 1” as the setting value 1 is assigned to the lamp controlled by the main control MPU 1310 a, and “error notification luminance 2” is set as the setting value 2 The error notification luminance setting pattern 2 to be specified is assigned, and the error notification luminance setting pattern 3 specifying "error notification luminance 3" is allocated as the setting value 3, and the error notification specifying "error notification luminance 4" as the setting value 4 Brightness setting pattern 4 is assigned, error notification brightness setting pattern 5 specifying “error notification brightness 5” is assigned as setting value 5, and error notification specifying “error notification brightness 6 (maximum brightness)” as setting value 6 The luminance setting pattern 6 is assigned (a manner of changing and setting the luminance of the light emitter in the error notification It may be described as E A modification of the configuration (7) "). It should be noted that the setting value 1 (the luminance of the lamp is low but the lamp's luminance is low, and when it stops at the front of the pachinko machine it is possible to recognize an error notification) to the setting value 6 (maximum luminance) The brightness is set to be high. The main control MPU 1310a adjusts the brightness of the light emitter by repeatedly performing change control of the light emitter brightness in error notification and the main control side timer interrupt process to be described later to adjust the lighting, blinking, and gradation points of the light emitter. Do. The peripheral control board 1510 receiving the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310 a is a target controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 based on the error notification luminance (error notification luminance setting pattern) corresponding to the setting value included in the setting change command. By adjusting the luminance of the light emitter, it is possible to perform lighting, blinking, gradation points and the like of the light emitter. By changing the luminance setting of the light emitter in the error notification, variations can be given to the luminance of the light emitter such as a lamp or an LED in the error notification.

  Further, with respect to various setting values assigned to the above-described variations (1) to (7) according to the common hardware configuration, predetermined setting value display permission conditions established in the setting value confirmation display process described later performed by the main control MPU 1310a are satisfied. The setting indicator 1310g is displayed when the power is turned on. However, the setting indicator 1310g may always be displayed from the time the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on to the time the power is shut off (setting value display Mode may be described as "modification (8) due to common hardware configuration".

  In addition, any one of the above-described modifications (1) to (8) according to the common hardware configuration may be appropriately selected and adopted to the above-described modification (30) of the determination key.

  Further, the above-described predetermined setting value change permission condition is an outer frame at the time of power recovery at the time of power on of the pachinko machine 1 or at the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery after a power failure (including an instantaneous power failure occurs momentarily). The main body frame 4 is opened with respect to No. 2, and the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise to turn the first ON. It is necessary for the setting key ON to be operated by being operated. When power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f, the main control MPU 1310 a performs a specific processing of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM in the main control side power on processing described later. Clear the game, and then proceed with the game by setting the interrupt permission. Further, when the predetermined setting value change permission condition described above is satisfied at power recovery of the pachinko machine 1, the main control MPU 1310a performs the setting change process in the main control side power-on process to be described later and It clears except a specific area among all the areas, and then proceeds to play a game by performing interrupt permission setting and the like. That is, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f, if the above-described predetermined setting change permission condition is satisfied when the pachinko machine 1 is restored, In any case, the main control MPU 1310a clears the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area out of all areas in the main control side power-on process, which will be described later, and then proceeds to play the game by performing interrupt permission setting etc. It will be. Therefore, the outer frame at the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery at power on of pachinko machine 1 or at power recovery after a power failure (including the momentary power failure due to a momentary power failure) as the predetermined setting value change permission condition described above. The main body frame 4 is opened with respect to No. 2, and the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise to turn the first ON. In addition to the setting key being operated by being operated, the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f may be pressed (described as “a modification of the preset setting change permission condition”. There is a case).

  In addition, the above-described predetermined setting value display permission condition is an outer frame after power recovery from power recovery when power is turned on for pachinko machine 1 or after a power failure (including a momentary power failure due to a momentary power failure). The main body frame 4 is opened with respect to No. 2, and the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise to turn the first ON. It is necessary for the setting key ON to be operated by being operated. When the predetermined set value display permission condition is satisfied, main control MPU 1310 a sets and displays the current set value set in the set value confirmation display process performed as one process of the main control timer interrupt process described later. Display on the display 1310g. Further, as described above, the RAM clear switch 1310 f needs to be pressed by the pressing operation unit when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and the period of pressing operation is limited. Therefore, the outer frame at the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery at power on of pachinko machine 1 or at power recovery after a power failure (including the momentary power failure due to a momentary power failure) as the predetermined setting value display permission condition described above. The main body frame 4 is opened with respect to No. 2, and the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise to turn the first ON. In addition to the setting key being operated by being operated, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f may not be pressed (described as “a modification of the preset setting display permission condition” May) In this case, main control MPU 1310a does not perform the set value confirmation display process as one process of the main control timer interrupt process described later when the modification of the predetermined set value display permission condition is satisfied. In the process at the time of insertion, the game is progressed by performing the initial setting and activation setting of the built-in WDT, and then performing the interruption permission setting and the like. Since the main control MPU 1310a does not yet perform the interrupt permission setting when performing the set value confirmation display processing when the modification of the predetermined set value display permission condition is established, the main control timer interrupt processing is performed. The setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting switch 1311 a and a detection signal from the body frame opening switch 4 b for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. The setting switch 1311a is turned on by turning the setting switch 1311a on by setting the setting switch 1311a to be turned on by turning the first switch by turning 60 degrees clockwise from the position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a). Input signal of main control built-in RAM as input information to be described later by reading the signal of setting key ON from 1311a Not stored in the area 憶領. Therefore, main control MPU 1310a opens the main body frame for detecting the release of main body frame 4 with respect to outer frame 2 when the modification of the predetermined set value display permission condition is established and the set value confirmation display process is performed. The detection signal from the switch 4b and the signal of the setting key ON from the setting switch 1311a are read.

  By adopting both the modification of the predetermined setting change permission condition described above and the modification of the predetermined setting value display permission condition described above, the power is turned on when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or a power failure occurs. During power recovery after power recovery, the main unit frame 4 is opened to the outer frame 2 and the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting switch 1311a. The pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is pressed on the premise that the setting key is turned on by setting the setting key cylinder to be turned 60 degrees clockwise and turned on by the first ON. When the main control MPU 1310a performs setting change processing in main control side power-on processing to be described later, the main control MPU 1310a excludes a specific area out of the entire area of the main control internal RAM. The game is progressed by clearing and then performing interrupt permission setting, etc., but when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is not pressed, the main control MPU 1310 a turns on the main control side power source described later. In the hour process, the set value confirmation display process is performed, and then, the game is advanced by performing the interrupt permission setting and the like. By adopting this mode, when the main control MPU 1310a starts the progress of the game, the setting value confirmation display process is not performed even once. That is, when the main control MPU 1310a starts the progress of the game by performing the interrupt permission setting or the like, the main control MPU 1310a never displays the current set value being set on the setting indicator 1310g. The main control MPU 1310a counts the number of balls of the game balls collected by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a formed in the game board 5 in the ball number counting process of the main control side power-on process described later. In the port output process of the main control side power-on process to be described later, the number of balls of the gaming balls output to the base monitor 1310 h and collected by the out port 1008 is displayed on the base monitor 1310 h. Therefore, the current setting value set by the setting display 1310g may be displayed on the above-mentioned base monitor 1310h (may be described as "a modification of the method of using the base monitor") . As a result, the main control MPU 1310a displays the current setting value set in the period from the power recovery to the start of the progress of the game by performing the interrupt permission setting etc. using the base monitor 1310h. As the game progress can be started by performing interrupt permission setting after power recovery, the number of gaming balls collected by the out port 1008 can be displayed, so the setting indicator 1310 g It is not necessary to provide it, which can contribute to cost reduction.

  In addition, any one of the modification of the predetermined setting change permission condition described above, the modification of the predetermined setting value display permission condition described above, and the modification of the method of using the base monitor described above will be appropriately made. It may be selected and adopted in the modification (30) of the determination key described above.

  In addition, any one of the modification of the predetermined setting change permission condition described above, the modification of the predetermined setting value display permission condition described above, and the modification of the method of using the base monitor described above will be appropriately made. You may select and employ | adopt to the modification (1)-(8) by the common hardware structure mentioned above.

  Incidentally, conventionally, in the game area of the game board, a plurality of nails are implanted, and there is provided a socket through which game balls fired by the launcher can enter. When a game ball flowing down the game area enters the receiving slot, a game machine is proposed in which a game state advantageous to the player is generated when the game is won by the lottery means with a predetermined probability (for example, (Paragraph [0029], paragraph [0033], and FIG. 2)). In such a gaming machine, since the course of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area changes according to the posture of the nail, it is possible to enjoy the change in the movement of the flowing gaming ball. However, since only a player who can understand the posture of the nail can select a platform rich in change in movement of the gaming ball flowing down from the plurality of gaming machines installed in the gaming hall, the width of the game The person who could expand was limited.

  Also, conventionally, there has been proposed a gaming machine capable of advancing a game by allowing the main control board to interrupt the timer in the main process and executing the timer interrupt process when the power is turned on (for example, for example) JP-A-2013-252306 (FIGS. 2 and 4)). However, in the gaming machine described in this document, when the power is turned on, various processes are progressed along the flow of the main processing, so that various processes from the time of power on to the time when timer interruption is permitted are performed. Since it is the same, it was not possible to select the activation method of the gaming machine in the gaming hall.

  Also, conventionally, there has been proposed a gaming machine capable of advancing a game by allowing the main control board to interrupt the timer in the main process and executing the timer interrupt process when the power is turned on (for example, for example) JP-A-2013-252306 (FIGS. 2 and 4)). However, in the gaming machine described in this document, when a clerk such as a clerk in the game hall initializes the RAM and erases the contents, it is necessary to operate the RAM clear switch. The erasing method was limited to one.

[5-4-3. Security structure of game setting]
As described above, the pachinko machine 1 of the present invention is provided with game settings relating to the player's profit as setting values of multiple stages, and the setting values are set switch 1311 a, setting switching button 1311 b, setting indicator 1310 g, etc. In the change operation means of the above, it is possible to change, and a crime prevention structure for preventing unauthorized change of the setting value of such a game setting is provided. Below, the example of the crime prevention structure is explained.

5-4-3-1. Security structure of change operation means (1)]
The first crime prevention structure (1) for preventing the unauthorized operation of the change operation means is, as described above for the embodiments of FIGS. The operation unit is configured of a setting switch 1311a (having a key insertion unit on the surface portion of the tip) which is turned on by the setting key K1. Thereby, the change of the setting value of the game setting by the change operation means can be performed only to a specific person including the store manager of the game hall having the setting key K1.

  The change operation means is for changing the set value, and in the embodiment, it comprises a power switch 630a, a setting switch 1311a, a setting switching button 1311b, and a setting indicator 1310g, among which the setting switch 1311a A specific operation unit provided in the control unit 1310 to control the start of setting change, and a separate operation unit provided with a setting switching button 1311 b on the main control unit 1310 to perform setting operations other than the setting change start. . Then, no crime prevention measures other than the foreign matter intrusion preventing unit 1301v for preventing the intrusion of foreign matter such as a wire are taken to this separate operation unit, and accordingly an input operation from the outside (a pressing operation of the setting switching button 1311b Although the pressing operation of the portion 1311p is possible for anyone other than a specific person, the "predetermined setting value change permission condition" is satisfied that the setting key 1311a which is the specific operation portion is turned on by the setting key K1. There is almost no problem with crime prevention because the input in the non-operation state is invalid for control.

  The setting switch 1311a, which is a specific operation unit of the change operation means, has its axis directed in the direction orthogonal to the substrate surface of the main control unit 1310 as shown in the figure, and its tip is the outer surface of the cover 1301. There is a possibility that the protrusion may be disturbed depending on the depth of the island facilities of the game hall, and may also be disturbed even during storage.

  In such a case, as shown by imaginary lines in FIGS. 144A and B, the axis line of the change operation means (for example, the setting switch 1311a having a key insertion portion) operated by the setting key K1 is used as the substrate of the main control portion 1310 It is possible to set the orientation substantially parallel to the surface, and make the tip surface (key insertion surface) face the side of the main control board box 1320. Specifically, the key operation unit is changed to the substrate surface of the main control unit 1310 so that the key insertion unit protrudes from the front end (hinge unit side) of the substrate surface of the main control unit 1310 (as it protrudes from the substrate end). And a semicircular notch formed in the base body 1302 of the main control board box 1320 which is a container so as to be disposed in a direction substantially parallel to the above and fit into the setting switch 1311a, and a main control board It can be illustrated that the projecting portion of the change operation means is accommodated in a state in which the key insertion portion is exposed to the outside by both the notch formed in the cover body 1301 of the box 1320. When the key insertion portion is projected from the left end in front view of the substrate surface of the main control portion 1310, the surface portion provided with the key insertion portion may be substantially the same surface as the side portion of the main control board box 1320. The surface on which the insertion portion is provided may be made to project beyond the side surface of the main control board box 1320.

  This makes it possible to substantially eliminate or reduce the protrusion of the change operation means on the rear side (the rear side of the pachinko machine 1) of the main control board box 1320. In addition, when arranging the substrate of the main control unit 1310 on the base body 1302 or the cover body 1301 of the main control substrate box 1320, the key insertion portion protruding from the substrate end is accommodated in the notch portion. The positioning (alignment) of the substrate of the control unit 1310 can be facilitated, and the burden on the assembly operation of the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

5-4-3-2. Security structure of change operation means (2)]
The second crime prevention structure (2) for preventing the unauthorized operation of the change operation means is, as shown in FIGS. 144D to 144I, a change suppressing means 1312 for covering at least a part of the change operation means; And first state holding means (hereinafter, also referred to as a lock portion) 1313 for locking (holding) the change suppressing means 1312.

  The change operation means of the crime prevention structure (2) includes the power switch 630a, the setting switch 1311a, the setting switching button 1311b, and the setting display 1310g as in the case of the crime prevention structure (1). The change operation means being provided is the setting switch 1311a (hereinafter also referred to as "specific operation unit 1311a") except for the power switch 630a provided in the power supply unit 620c, and the setting switching button 1311b (hereinafter referred to as "another operation Section 1311 b ′ ′) and a setting indicator 1310 g for displaying the setting value. In this crime prevention structure (2), the setting switch 1311a which is a specific operation unit and the setting switching button 1311b which is a separate operation unit are both small operating rod switches that can be turned on and off by pressing the pressing operation unit 1311p. The vehicle itself does not have a crime prevention structure other than the foreign matter intrusion prevention unit 1301 v that prevents the intrusion of foreign matter such as a wire.

The change suppressing means 1312 of the crime prevention structure (2) covers at least a part of the changing operation means in order to make the changing operation of the game setting difficult, and the specific configuration will be described later. Change to a first state that makes it difficult to change the game settings by covering the part, and a second state that exposes the change operation means that was covered in the first state and allows the change operation of the game settings obtain.
Here, at least a part of the change operation means means that one of the plurality of elements may be involved in the change operation essential for the game setting, as well as the case where the change operation means includes a plurality of elements. Do. It also means that one element of the change operation means may have some gaps if the change operation of the game setting is difficult even if the element is not completely covered. That is, the concept of covering at least a part of the change operation means includes both the above-described numerical and the above-described qualitative.

  The lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 of the crime prevention structure (2) locks (holds) the change suppressing means 1312 in the first state and specifies the lock (hold), although the specific configuration will be described later. The change control unit 1312 switches the change from the first state to the second state and the change from the second state to the first state.

5-4-3-2-1. Change suppression means and lock part (first state holding means)]
Specific change prevention means 1312 of the crime prevention structure (2) and the lock part (first state holding means) 1313 will be described with reference to FIGS. 144D to 144I.
First, the change suppressing means 1312 (D) in FIG. 144D has a flat plate shape that covers approximately one half of the outer surface of the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320 (that is, a part of the container). The specific operation unit 1311a (setting switch 1311a), the separate operation unit 1311b (setting switching button 1311b), and the RAM clear switch 1310f can be collectively covered. The change suppressing means 1312 can be pivoted in the form of a one-sided door by pivotally attaching one end side to the bearing portion 1301a of the cover 1301, and as shown by the solid line in FIG. 144D, the specific operation portion 1311a. In the first state, which makes it difficult to change the game setting, etc., and the second state, which exposes the specific operation unit 1311a etc. and enables the game setting change operation, as shown by an imaginary line in the figure. And can change (turn).

On the other hand, the lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (D) in FIG. 144D is a cylinder lock 1313 a integrally provided on the free end side of the change suppressing means 1312 (D), and a rotary lock of the cylinder lock 1313 a. The first state change suppressing means 1312 (D) and the cover body 1301 are engaged by engaging the lock member 1313 c provided at the tip of the shaft 1313 b with the lock receiving member 1301 b protrudingly provided on the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320. And lock the change suppressing means 1312 (D) in the first state.
Further, the lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (D) rotates the rotary lock shaft 1313 b of the cylinder lock 1313 a using the unlocking key K 2, and thus the lock receiving member 1301 b of the cover body 1301 The lock (holding) of the first state of the change suppressing means 1312 (D) is released by the specific release operation of removing 1313 c to enable the change to the second state, and the second state is changed to the first state. The changed change suppressing means 1312 (D) can be locked (held) by the unlocking key K2.

  Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 provided with the crime prevention structure (2) of the change suppressing means 1312 (D) and the lock unit (first state holding means) 1313 (D) in FIG. Since the change can be made only to a specific person with the unlocking key K2, even if the change operation means itself has a crime prevention structure for changing the game setting, there is almost no problem with crime prevention as in the case of the crime prevention structure (1) .

  Note that the change suppressing means 1312 (D) is made of synthetic resin having transparency (for example, transparency), and covering the change operating means in the first state does not prevent the visibility of the change operating means. Moreover, when the change suppressing means 1312 (D) is in the first state and covers the cover body 1301, each of the cover body 1301 and the change suppressing means 1312 (D) has a management number and a predetermined explanation An information display unit 1314 describing a sentence is provided. As a result, it is possible to easily find replacement of the cover body 1301 and the change suppressing means 1312 (D) performed for the purpose of concealment of fraud (aggregation of parts with good states), and further, changing operation means, particularly the specific operation unit Visual confirmation of unauthorized work on the 1311a can be easily performed.

  Further, although the change suppressing means 1312 (D) has a size and shape that covers a part of the cover body 1301, for example, the change suppressing means 1312 (D) can be sized and shaped so as to cover the main control unit 1300 in its entirety. In addition to the formation, the bearing portion 1301a and the lock receiving member 1301b of the lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (D) may be provided on the fixing member (for example, the substrate holder 1200) on the main body frame 4 side. By doing so, the security of the entire main control unit 1300 can be enhanced.

  In addition, the security performance of the change suppressing means 1312 (D) is temporarily locked by setting the rotation center (bearing portion 1301 a) on the free end side of the main body frame 4 as shown in FIG. 144D. Holding means) Even if the 1313 (D) is destroyed, further crime prevention is possible. That is, as shown by an imaginary line in the figure, the change suppressing means 1312 (D) is in the form of a screen in an open state, and a wall near the left side of the change operating means (specific operation unit 1311 a, separate operation unit 1311 b) Change control means 1312 (D) in which an action of illegally performing a change operation on the change operation means from the free end side of the main body frame 4 is opened. It is possible to block by itself. That is, by providing the rotation center of the change suppressing means 1312 (D) on the free end side of the main body frame 4 in this manner, it is possible to protect the change operating means in the first state. Can prevent unauthorized change operations on the change operation means. In addition, in order to receive such an effect as much as possible, the change suppressing means 1312 (D) in FIG. 144D has a length (distance which protrudes toward the rear of the pachinko machine 1 from the bearing portion 1301a when the state is opened. Is set to be longer than the length (distance) from the bearing portion 1301a to the place where the change operation means (specific operation portion 1311a, separate operation portion 1311b) is disposed, and the change suppression means 1312 in an open state ( The change operation means (the specific operation unit 1311a and the other operation unit 1311b) are arranged to be closest to the right of D). In addition, the location where the change operation means (specific operation unit 1311a, separate operation unit 1311b) is disposed is positioned close to the center of the vertical length of the change suppression means 1312 (D), and the change operation means (specific operation unit 1311a, separate operation While making access from the upper part and the lower part of part 1311b difficult, and rotation of change control means 1312 (D) is made to stop (fixed) in the state where it stood upright. In addition, although crime prevention performance can be improved by having a part of each of these structures, it is preferable to satisfy all these most preferably.

  Alternatively, the change suppressing means 1312 (D) may be reduced to cover only the specific operation unit 1311 a, and the other operation unit 1311 b may not cover in any of the first state and the second state. In this way, by narrowing down the protection targets of the change operation means consisting of multiple elements (specific operation part and separate operation part) to those with high security importance, the low security importance is released to the outside. This can improve the workability of setting change.

  In addition, the axis line of the change operation means described in the crime prevention structure (1) is set in a direction substantially parallel to the substrate surface of the main control unit 1310, and the tip of the change operation means is exposed to the side surface of the container. The technical idea of the invention is also applicable to the cylinder lock 1313a of the lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (D).

Next, the change suppressing means 1312 (E) in FIG. 144E is substantially the same as the change suppressing means 1312 (D) in FIG. 144D, and thus the detailed description will be omitted.
On the other hand, the lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (E) of FIG. 144E is provided on the side of the cover body 1301 with the perforated lock receiving member 1315 integrally provided on the free end side of the change suppressing means 1312 (E). A padlock 1313d is formed by connecting the protruding lock receiving member 1316 with the U-shaped lock member 1313c, and by engaging both the light receiving lock receiving members 1315 and 1316 with the lock member 1313c, The change suppressing means 1312 (E) in one state is coupled with the cover body 1301 to lock (hold) the change suppressing means 1312 (E) in the first state.
In addition, the lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (E) changes the lock member 1313 c of the padlock 1313 d in the unlocking direction using the unlocking key K 2, and as such the perforation of the change suppressing means 1312 (E) The lock (holding) in the first state of the change suppressing means 1312 (E) is released by a specific release operation of removing the lock member 1313 c from the lock receiving member 1315 and the apertured lock receiving member 1316 of the cover body 1301. It is possible to change (change) the second state from the second state to the first state and lock (hold) the change suppressing means 1312 (E) with the padlock 1313 d.

  The lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (E) uses a well-known padlock 1313 d, and therefore is detached from both the change suppressing means 1312 (E) and the cover body 1301 in the unlocked state. . Therefore, the lock portion (first state holding means) (E) is separated from the cover body 1301 (accommodating body) in the unlocked state by being connected to the cover body 1301 by the wire-like or chain-like support 1313, for example. It is supposed not to. As a result, there is no risk of the lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (E) falling into the island facility in the unlocked state, and the lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (E) removed. Forget the place where you put it, and eliminate the waste of time searching for it in the lock phase.

  Next, the change suppressing means 1312 (F) in FIGS. 144F to H is pivotable by pivotally attaching a portion corresponding to the main part of the fan in a substantially horizontal fan shape to the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320. It can be changed to the first state covering the specific operation unit 1311a of the change operation means as shown in FIG. 144F and the second state to expose the specific operation unit 1311a to the outside as shown in FIG. 144H. Further, the change suppressing unit 1312 (F) does not cover the separate operation unit 1311 b when it is in the first state with respect to the specific operation unit 1311 a, and when it changes to the second state with respect to the specific operation unit 1311 a The operation unit 1311 b is covered. By selectively covering the specific operation unit 1311 a and the separate operation unit 1311 b with the change suppressing unit 1312 (F) as described above, an erroneous operation in which the specific operation unit 1311 a and the separate operation unit 1311 b are simultaneously operated hardly occurs.

  Note that the change suppressing means 1312 (F) is always urged in the direction of covering the separate operation portion 1311 b by a winding spring (not shown) provided at the swing center, and a lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (described later). When the lock (hold) in the first state by F) is released, the elasticity of the winding spring changes the state to the second state. By urging the change suppressing means 1312 (F) toward the second state in this manner, there is no possibility that the change suppressing means 1312 (F) is stopped at a halfway position, and the operability is improved. The biasing direction of the change suppressing means 1312 (F) may be either the first state or the second state, but preferably the changing suppressing means 1312 (F) may be biased toward the second state. When the lock (hold) is released, the special operation unit 1311a is automatically exposed to the outside, so that the procedure of the change operation can be easily understood.

The lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (F) of FIGS. 144F to 144H includes a mount portion 1301 d protruding from the cover body 1301, a cylinder lock 1313 a fixed to the mount portion 1301 d, and the lock A change restraining means comprises a cam 1313e attached to the tip of a rotary lock shaft 1313b of a cylinder lock 1313a, and the peripheral surface (cam surface) of the cam 1313e is in sliding contact with the upper side surface of the change restraining means 1312 (F) 1312 is pushed down against the bias of the winding spring and locked (held) in the first state in which the specific operation portion 1311a is covered.
Further, the lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (F) rotates the rotary lock shaft 1313b of the cylinder lock 1313a using the unlocking key K2 and changes the circumferential shape of the cam 1313e by the rotation lock shaft 1313b. The lock (holding) of the first state of the change suppressing means 1312 (F) is released by the specific release operation of releasing the lock (holding) of 1312 (F), and the change to the second state is enabled (embodiment Since the change suppressing means 1312 (F) is biased in the direction toward the second state by a winding spring (not shown), when the lock (holding) in the first state is released, it slides on the circumferential surface of the cam 1313e. It is possible to lock (hold) the change suppressing means 1312 (F) which has been changed from the second state to the first state automatically while being in contact with the second state). .

  When it is necessary to operate the separate operation unit 1311 b when the change suppressing unit 1312 (F) is in the second state and covers the separate operation unit 1311 b in the setting value change operation, the change suppression unit A finger may be put on the operation projecting piece 1312 m protrudingly provided in 1312 (F) or the like to be manually depressed to expose the separate operation portion 1311 b.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 1 provided with the crime prevention structure (2) of the change suppressing means 1312 (F) and the lock part (first state holding means) 1313 (F) of FIGS. Since the change of the setting value of the game setting can be performed only to a specific person having the unlocking key K2, the change operation means itself does not have the crime prevention structure for the change of the game setting, like the crime prevention structure (1) There is almost no problem with the above.

  Next, the change suppressing means 1312 (I) of FIG. 144I is in a form in which the portion corresponding to the setting change substrate 1310 X of the cover body 1301 of the main control substrate box 1320 is separated and made independent. By engaging the key type hinge portion 1312b with the key type hinge portion 1302a formed on one side of the base body 1302, the base body 1302 is rotatable relative to the base body 1302 and provided on the setting change substrate 1310Y. The first state in which the specific operation unit 1311a and the separate operation unit 1311b are collectively covered, and the second state in which the specific operation unit 1311a and the separate operation unit 1311b are exposed to allow a change operation can be changed. The cover 1301 corresponding to the main control board 1310X is rotatably attached to a partition wall 1302b which is raised from the base body 1302 between the setting change board 1310Y and the main control board 1310X.

The lock portion (first state holding means) 1313 (I) of FIG. 144I is a dial lock 1313f provided on the edge on the cover body 1301 side of the change suppressing means 1312 (I), and the advancing / retracting locking shaft of the dial lock 1313f. By engaging the tip end of 1313 g with the lock stem 1301 f provided at the edge of the cover body 1301, the change suppressing means 1312 (I) of the first state and the cover body 1301 are coupled to change the means 1312 ( I) lock (hold) in the first state.
Further, the lock unit (first state holding means) 1313 (I) rotates the plurality of dials of the dial lock 1313 f as the unlocking number to retract the advancing and retracting lock shaft 1313 g, and thus the lock shaft of the cover body 1301. The lock (holding) of the first state of the change suppressing means 1312 (I) is released by the specific release operation of releasing the lock shaft 1313 g from the through 1301 f to enable the change to the second state, and the second state Can be locked (held) with the dial lock 1313f.

Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 provided with the crime prevention structure (2) of the change suppressing means 1312 (I) and the lock part (first state holding means) 1313 (I) of FIG. Since the change can be made only to a specific person who knows the unlock number of the dial lock 1313f, even if the change operation means itself has the crime prevention structure for changing the game setting, the same problem as the crime prevention structure (1) There is almost no Although the first state holding means 1313 exemplified in the crime prevention structure (2) adopts a relatively high crime prevention performance such as a cylinder lock 1313 a, a padlock 1313 d, a dial lock 1313 f, the crime prevention performance is temporarily lower than these. Any configuration may be used as long as the configuration is such that the change suppressing unit 1312 held in the first state can be released by a specific release operation.
Further, since the change suppressing means 1312 (I) in FIG. 144I is independent of the cover body 1301, even if it becomes necessary to replace the cover body 1301, the change suppressing means 1312 (I) can be reused as it is. is there. Further, when the change suppressing means 1312 (I) is connected to the hinge portion side of the cover body 1301, the cover body 1301 can be turned only in the second state where the change suppressing means 1312 (I) is turned. Therefore, even if an unauthorized person destroys the sealing mechanism 1320z of the cover body 1301, unauthorized work can not be performed unless a specific operation of the change suppressing means 1312 (I), that is, the unlocking number of the dial lock 1313f is known. Therefore, the tampering prevention function of the cover 1301 can be improved by the change suppressing means 1312 (I).

5-4-3-3. Security structure of change operation means (3)]
In the third crime prevention structure (3) for preventing unauthorized operation of the change operation means, the crime prevention structure (2) exposes the change operation means to the outside with the change suppression means 1312 in the second state, and the state While the change operation means is operated directly, the change suppression means 1312 is provided at a position covering the change operation means on the side of the container (main control board box 1320) and the change operation of the change operation means is performed by itself. While making it difficult, the change control means 1312 is made to substitute for the operation of the change operation means.
That is, as shown in FIG. 144J, the change suppressing means 1312 (J) of the crime prevention structure (3) is on the side of the cover body 1301 which is a containing body, and may be a specific operation unit 1311a (another operation unit 1311b). A cylinder lock 1313a fixedly provided at a position to be covered, that is, a position in a first state covering the opening 1301h for exposing the specific operation portion 1311a, is provided directly from the outside with respect to the specific operation portion 1311a. Make the change operation difficult.
Further, the change suppressing means 1312 (J) presses the rotation of the end face cam 1313i fixed to the rotary lock shaft 1313b of the cylinder lock 1313a so as to be able to mediate switch input by a specific operation from the outside. A linear motion of the moving element 1313h, that is, a motion conversion mechanism that allows movement for switch input is provided.
Then, when a specific operation of inserting the unlocking key K2 into the change suppressing means 1312 (J) and rotating the rotary lock shaft 1313b of the cylinder lock 1313a is performed, the specific operation unit 1311a is performed by the above operation of the motion conversion mechanism. Direct change operation from the outside to the outside is substituted by the pressing operation slider 1313 h of the change suppressing means 1312 (J), in other words, the direct change operation from the outside to the specific operation unit 1311 a is the change suppressing means This operation is performed via the pressing operation slider 1313 h of 1312 (J).

According to the change suppressing means 1312 (J), the change suppressing means is fixedly provided at a position where the change operation of the game setting from the outside by the change operating means covers the change operating means with respect to the cover body 1301 side. Because it is in a difficult state, there is almost no risk that the game settings will be tampered with.
On the other hand, in the case where the game setting is regularly changed by the change operation means, an operation such as inserting an external lock key K2 from the outside and twisting is performed as a specific operation from outside with respect to the change suppressing means 1312 (J) By the operation to the change suppressing means 1312 (J), a direct change operation to the change operation means is substituted (intermediate execution), and the game setting can be changed.
Then, after the change of the game setting is completed, by terminating the specific operation on the change suppressing means 1312 (J), it is possible to return the external direct change operation to the change operation means to a difficult state.

The change suppressing means 1312 (J) may be, for example, the dial lock 1313 f of the change suppressing means 1312 (I) or the advancing and retracting lock shaft 1313 g other than the case where the rotary lock shaft 1313 b of the cylinder lock 1313 a is rotated by the unlocking key K2. Of the specific operation unit 1311a and the axial line of the pressing operation unit 1311p of the specific operation unit 1311a, and with the respective dials of the dial lock 1313f aligned with the unlocking number, the specific operation unit 1311a The pressing operation unit 1311 p may be capable of pressing.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 144K, a shutter plate 1319 covering the separate operation portion 1311b is integrally protruded on the end face cam 1313i of the change suppressing means 1312 (J), and the end face cam 1313i is rotated by a specific operation. The shutter plate 1319 may also be rotated to expose the separate operation unit 1311 b. Thus, it is possible not only to prevent unauthorized operation of the separate operation unit 1311b but also to prevent dust from entering the internal space 1320s of the main control board box 1320.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 1 provided with the crime prevention structure (3) of the change suppressing means 1312 (J) of FIG. 144J and FIG. 144K has the unlocking key K2 for changing the setting value of the game setting by the change operation means Or, since it can only be performed by a specific person who knows the unlocking number, etc., even if the change operation means itself is not provided with the crime prevention structure for changing the game setting, the same problem in crime prevention as the crime prevention structure (1) There is almost nothing.

  In addition, the axis line of the change operation means described in the crime prevention structure (1) is set in a direction substantially parallel to the substrate surface of the main control unit 1310, and the tip of the change operation means is exposed to the side surface of the container. The technical idea of the invention is also applicable to the cylinder lock 1313 a of the change suppressing means 1312 (J) or the like.

5-4-3-4. Technical thought about crime prevention structure]
The crime prevention structure of the above-described game setting corresponds to an embodiment of solutions 1 to 8 for the background art described below.
[Background technology]

  Conventionally, in the game area of the game board, there is provided a socket on which a plurality of nails are implanted and a game ball can enter. Then, when the game ball fired by the launcher strikes a nail and changes the course and flows down the game area and enters a specific receiving port (for example, the start winning entry port), a lottery is performed due to the establishment of a predetermined condition A gaming machine has been proposed in which a gaming state advantageous to the player occurs when the result of the lottery is a hit (for example, JP-A-2008-012194). In such a gaming machine, the posture of the nail changes the course of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area, and the probability of entering a specific receiving hole also changes, so the player checks the state of the nail It was common to select a gaming machine.

However, the difference in the posture of the nail is subtle, and only a small number of players can select an advantageous game machine from among a plurality of machines installed in the game hall, so that the game benefits are obtained. There is a problem that some people who can do it are unevenly distributed, and there is a problem that the profit of the game hall is harmed by some professional players if you change the view.
In order to solve such a problem, there is also developed a system in which the probability of winning a lottery can be changed to any of a plurality of stages, but if so, the probability of winning may be determined by some players or There is a possibility that an employee on the game hall side concurring with these may unfairly change, and an effective measure for preventing such an injustice has been desired.

(Solution 1)
It is a gaming machine that draws a lottery when a predetermined condition is established, and gives a player a predetermined profit when the result of the lottery is a hit,
A main control unit provided on the back side of the gaming machine and having a main control MPU for controlling the progress of the game;
A change operation means provided in the main control unit and capable of changing the game setting relating to the winning probability of the lottery to any of a plurality of stages;
The first state in which at least a part of the change operation means is covered to make it difficult to change the game setting, and the change operation means covered in the first state is exposed to change the game setting Change inhibiting means, which can be changed to a second state to enable;
A game machine comprising: first state holding means for holding the change suppressing means in the first state and releasing the holding by a specific release operation.

According to this gaming machine, the change operation of the game setting by the change operation means is in a difficult state by the change suppressing means held (locked) in the first state, so the game setting is illegally changed. There is almost nothing.
On the other hand, when the administrator etc. regularly performs the change operation of the game setting by the change operation means, for example, the holding (lock) of the first state holding means is released and changed as a specific release operation. The control means is changed to the second state, whereby the change operation means exposed to the outside is operated to change the game setting.
Then, after the change of the game setting is completed, the change suppressing means can be returned to the first state to hold (lock) the first state holding means, so that the change operation of the game setting can be returned to a difficult state. .
In order to solve the same problem, it is possible to directly attach a key switch that can be turned on and off with a dedicated key as a change operation means to the substrate of the main control unit, but the current main control unit is limited. Since electronic components are arranged at high density in the space, if the key switch is directly attached to the main control unit, a drastic change of the substrate configuration is required. On the other hand, in the gaming machine of solution means 1, since the change operation means is blocked from the incorrect setting change by the combination of the change suppression means and the first state holding means, the change operation means is formed by a small operation rod switch. Is possible, thus eliminating the need for major changes in the main controller board configuration.

(Solution 2)
The gaming machine of the solution means 1 is
A container for housing the main control unit;
And an opening provided in the container for communicating the change operation means of the main control unit accommodated in the container to the outside,
Furthermore, a foreign matter intrusion prevention part may be provided between the container and the change operation means for preventing foreign matter from invading from the opening.
By doing so, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent act of infiltrating a foreign object such as a wire from the opening and performing an unauthorized work on the main control unit.

(Solution 3)
Further, in the gaming machine of the above solution means 1 or 2,
The change operation unit includes a specific operation unit that controls start of setting change and another operation unit that performs other setting operations.
The change suppressing means may cover the specific operation unit so as to be changeable between the first state and the second state, but not cover the other operation unit.
In this way, by narrowing the protection targets of the change operation means consisting of a plurality of elements to those with high importance in security, the degree of freedom in design, such as downsizing of the shape of the change suppression means and reduction of the movable range accordingly Therefore, a higher degree of fraud protection is possible, and by opening things of low security importance to the outside, the workability of setting change can be improved.

(Solution 4)
Further, in the gaming machine of the above solution means 1 or 2,
The change operation unit includes a specific operation unit that controls start of setting change and another operation unit that performs other setting operations.
The change suppressing means can change the first operation state and the second state with respect to the specific operation unit, and can cover the different operation unit when the second operation state is changed with respect to the specific operation unit. The first state holding means may be biased toward either the first state or the second state in a state where the holding (locking) by the first state holding means is released.
In such a gaming machine, the specific operation unit and the separate operation unit are alternatively covered by the change suppressing means, so that an erroneous operation in which the specific operation unit and the different operation unit are simultaneously operated hardly occurs. Further, by urging the change suppressing means toward either the first state or the second state, there is no possibility that the change suppressing means is stopped at a halfway position, and the operability is improved. Preferably, when the change suppressing means is biased toward the second state, the special operation unit is automatically exposed to the outside when the holding (locking) of the first state of the change suppressing means is released. It is easy to understand the procedure of change operation.

(Solution 5)
Further, in the gaming machine according to any one of the solving means 1 to 4 above,
The first state holding means may connect the change suppressing means in the first state and the container with a lock member to lock the change suppressing means in the first state.
This makes it possible to lock the change suppressing means easily and reliably in the first state.

(Solution 6)
Further, in the gaming machine of the solution means 5,
The first state holding means may be connected to the container by a support so as not to be separated from the container in the unlocked state.
By doing so, the first state holding means is not detached from the container even in the unlocked state, so there is no risk of dropping the first state holding means into the island facility, and the first state holding means removed is placed. It is possible to eliminate the time waste of forgetting a place and searching for it at the lock stage.

(Solution means 7)
Further, the gaming machine according to any one of the solving means 1 to 6 is
A container for housing the main control unit;
The change suppressing means covers a part or all of the container when in the first state,
The container and the change suppressing means are each provided with an information display unit having transparency and describing a management number and a predetermined explanation.
Furthermore, each information display unit may be provided at a position that does not overlap each other when the change suppressing unit is in the first state and does not interfere with the visibility of the specific operation unit.
By doing so, it is possible to easily find replacement of containers or change suppressing means performed for the purpose of concealment of fraud (aggregation of parts in good condition), and further, visual confirmation of fraudulent work on a specific operation unit Easy to do.

(Solution 8)
The above solutions 1 to 7 make the change suppressing means be in the second state and expose the change operating means to the outside, and directly operate the change operating means in that state, but the change suppressing means is the change operation on the container side The change control means may be provided at a position to cover the means to make the change operation of the change operation means difficult, while the change suppressing means may substitute the operation of the change operation means.
That is, the gaming machine of the solution means 8 draws a lottery when the predetermined condition is established, and gives a predetermined profit to the player when the result of the lottery is a hit,
A main control unit provided on the back side of the gaming machine and having a main control MPU for controlling the progress of the game;
A container for housing the main control unit;
A change operation means provided in the main control unit and capable of changing the game setting relating to the winning probability of the lottery to any of a plurality of stages;
And a change suppressing unit provided on the side of the container and covering the change operation unit, which makes it difficult for an external direct change operation to the change operation unit.
The change suppressing means is operable by a specific operation from the outside,
When the specific operation is performed on the change suppressing unit, the change suppressing unit operates to substitute a direct change operation on the change operating unit.

According to this gaming machine, since the change operation of the game setting from the outside by the change operation means is in a difficult state by the change suppressing means fixedly provided at the position covering the change operation means on the container side. There is almost no risk that the game settings will be tampered with.
On the other hand, when the administrator etc. regularly change the game setting by the change operation means, for example, an operation of inserting an external lock key from the outside and twisting is performed as a specific operation from the outside to the change suppression means And, by the operation to the change control means, the direct change operation to the change operation means is substituted, and the change of the game setting becomes possible.
And, after the change of the game setting is completed, by terminating the specific operation on the change suppressing means, it is possible to return the external direct change operation to the change operation means to a difficult state.
In this solution means 8 as well, since the change operation means is blocked from fraudulently by the change suppression means provided on the container side, the change operation means can be formed by a small operation rod switch, and hence the main control unit There is no need to make major changes in the board configuration of

[5-5-2. When attached to the upper left corner of the front component outside the game area]
The function display unit 1400 is attached to the upper left corner of the front component 1000 outside the gaming area 5a, as shown in FIG. The arrangement of the various displays of the function display unit 1400 is obtained by rotating the arrangement of the various displays of the function display unit 1400 shown in FIG. 131 by 90 degrees clockwise, and the functions of the various displays are also shown in FIG. The functions are the same as those of the various displays of the function display unit 1400.

  Here, as a noise countermeasure when the function display unit 1400 is attached to the upper left corner of the front component 1000 outside the gaming area 5a, particularly, the function display unit 1400 and the main control board 1310X are electrically connected to A plurality of wires (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “wires”) for transferring control signals from the control substrate 1310X to the function display unit 1400 will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 143 and 144A, the wiring FCBL electrically connected through the connection connector 1400a provided on the back surface side of the function display unit 1400 is from the upper right corner of the game board 5 to the back surface of the back box 3010. When it is drawn up to the upper side, it is bent downward of the rear surface of the back box 3010 and collected together by the wiring processing pieces 3011 formed in plural in the vertical direction along the right side of the rear surface of the back box 3010. Along the right side of the main control board box 1320 of the main control unit 1300 which is bent before reaching the upper side of the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 attached to the lower side of the rear side of the 1100 or is attached directly to the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 It is drawn down toward the bottom.

  Then, when the wiring FCBL is routed to the lower side of the main control board box 1320, it is bent toward the left side of the main control board box 1320, and along the lower side of the main control board box 1320, the function display unit connector MFCN After being drawn down to the lower side, they are electrically connected to the function display unit connector MFCN.

  Thus, the wiring FCBL for electrically connecting the function display unit 1400 and the main control board 1310X has a long wiring length, and in particular, the rear surface of the game panel 1100 from the upper right corner of the game board 5, and the back box The wiring FCBL routed to the upper side of the rear surface of the back 3010 is bent downward of the rear surface of the back box 3010 and is formed by a plurality of wiring processing pieces 3011 formed vertically along the right side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 The bottom of the main control board box 1320 is routed along the right side of the main control board box 1320, which is the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 attached to the bottom rear of the game panel 1100. As described above, the area in which the wiring FCBL is routed is the front of the payout unit 560 attached to the payout base unit 550 in the main frame 4 shown in FIG. 97 when the gaming board 5 is attached to the pachinko machine 1 Will be placed in

  The game panel 1100 includes a panel decoration substrate on which a plurality of panel decoration LEDs for emitting light toward the peripheral surface of the base panel plate 1110 are mounted, and a substrate cover for attaching the panel decoration substrate to the panel holder 1120; In the case where the panel decoration substrate is provided, the panel decoration substrate includes an upper left panel decoration substrate 1131 disposed at the upper left corner of the panel holder 1120 in front view and a lower left panel decoration substrate disposed at the lower left corner Configured The substrate cover includes an upper left substrate cover for attaching the upper left panel decoration substrate 1131 to the panel holder 1120 and a lower left substrate cover for attaching the lower left panel decoration substrate to the panel holder 1120.

  At the rear of the function display unit 1400, an upper left panel decoration substrate 1131 is disposed. When the wire UPCBL, which is a connection cable electrically connected via the connection connector 1131a provided on the back surface side of the upper left panel decoration substrate 1131, is bent to the upper rear surface of the game panel 1100, the wire UPCBL on the front surface of the back box 3010 When it is bent toward the rear surface of the back box 3010 at the upper side and is drawn around to the upper side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 in a state of proximity (or contact) with the wiring FCBL described above, the lower side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 Are respectively bent by a plurality of wiring processing pieces 3011 formed in the vertical direction along the right side of the rear surface of the back box 3010, and pulled up to the upper side of the driving substrate unit 1700 below the peripheral control unit 1500. It will be turned. Then, the wiring UPCBL is bent below the peripheral control unit 1500 toward the left side at the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700 and separated along the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700 apart from the path of the wiring FCBL described above. After being drawn and drawn up to the upper side of the predetermined connector of the panel drive substrate 1720 in the drive substrate unit 1700, it is electrically connected to the predetermined connector.

  As such, the wiring UPCBL electrically connecting the upper left panel decorative substrate 1131 disposed behind the function display unit 1400 and the panel drive substrate 1720 has a longer wiring length, and in particular, the upper right of the game board 5 The wiring FCBL routed from the corner to the back surface of the game panel 1100 and to the upper side of the back surface of the back box 3010 is bent downward of the back surface of the back box 3010 and A plurality of wiring processing pieces 3011 formed in a plurality of directions are gathered together and routed to the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700 below the peripheral control unit 1500. The area in which the wiring UPCBL is drawn is attached to the payout base unit 550 of the main body frame 4 shown in FIG. 97 when the gaming board 5 is attached to the pachinko machine 1 like the above-mentioned wiring FCBL. It will be arrange | positioned ahead of the payout unit 560 being carried out.

  As described above, the payout unit 560 includes the ball guiding unit 570 having one guiding path for guiding the gaming balls B from the tank rail 553 in a serpentine manner, and the one guiding path of the ball guiding unit 570. A payout device 580 for paying out the induced gaming balls B one by one based on an instruction from the payout control substrate 633, and an upper full ball path unit 600 for guiding the gaming balls B having passed through the payout devices 580 downward; And a lower full ball path unit 610 for guiding the game ball B having passed through the upper full ball path unit 600 to the door frame 3 side or the board unit 620 side.

  In addition, as described above, the game ball B is polished at the island facility of the game hall, rubs against each other in the circulation between the island facility and the pachinko machine 1, and is charged and electrostatically discharged to cause electromagnetic wave noise. Release. For this reason, static electricity is likely to be accumulated in the area where the ball tank 552 capable of retaining the game ball B and the payout unit 560 are attached and in the periphery thereof.

  The main control board 1310 X is a microprocessor that incorporates a ROM for storing various processing programs and various commands, a RAM for temporarily storing data, etc., although its detailed description will be described later. See FIG. 151). The main control MPU 1310a incorporates a circuit that is forcibly reset by hardware when it is affected by electrical noise (hereinafter referred to as "internal reset circuit"), and such internal reset is described. The forced reset by the circuit has a mechanism that can not be controlled and invalidated by the user program. Therefore, when the main reset MPU 1310a is subjected to a forced reset by the built-in reset circuit, the main control MPU 1310a is reset without executing the main control side power-off process described later, and executes the main control side power-on process described later. It will be done. In this case, since the main control side power-off process is not executed, a check sum (sum value) error of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310 a always occurs as described later, so it is built in the main control MPU 1310 a The contents of the RAM are completely erased (cleared). That is, when the forcible reset is performed by the built-in reset circuit, the RAM clear is executed when the main control MPU 1310 a is activated again.

  Also, in the present embodiment, a ZIP (Zigzag Inline Package) type is adopted as a package of the main control MPU 1310a, and when the main control MPU 1310a is mounted on the mounting surface of the main control substrate 1310X, various pins of the main control MPU 1310a It protrudes from the soldering surface (surface opposite to the mounting surface) of the main control board 1310X. That is, various pins of the main control MPU 1310 a are in a state of projecting toward the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320.

  As described above, static electricity is likely to be accumulated in the area where the ball tank 552 and the dispensing unit 560 are attached and the periphery thereof, and therefore, when electromagnetic wave noise is released by electrostatic discharge, it is disposed in front of the dispensing unit 560. There is a possibility of intruding into the wiring FCBL which electrically connects the unit 1400 and the main control board 1310 X, and electrically connects the upper left panel decorative board 1131 disposed behind the function display unit 1400 and the peripheral control board 1510 May intrude into the wiring UPCBL. As a result, the electromagnetic wave noise intruding into the wiring FCBL may pop out and intrude into the wiring UPCBL, and conversely, the electromagnetic wave noise intruding into the wiring UPCBL may pop out and intrudes into the wiring FCBL.

  For example, the wiring FCBL for electrically connecting the function display unit 1400 and the main control board 1310 X is temporarily formed in the wiring space formed between the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 and the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320 It is drawn on a straight line from a predetermined position on the right side of the control board box 1320 toward the left side of the main control board box 1320 (eg, from the upper side of the main control board box 1320 to the right side of the main control board box 1320). Where it has a quarter length, it is bent toward the left side of the main control board box 1320 so as to be parallel to the upper side or the lower side of the main control board box 1320), the center from the lower side of the main control board 1310 X to the left side The main control board box 132 at a stage passing over the function display unit connector MFCN arranged closer to the main control board When it is bent toward the lower side and pulled out from the lower side of the main control board box 1320 and then electrically connected to the function display unit connector MFCN, the electromagnetic wave noise intrudes into the line FCBL, the line FCBL Is routed in the wiring space formed between the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 and the bottom plate of the main control substrate box 1320, the front of the main control substrate 1310X (that is, corresponding to the mounting position of the main control MPU 1310a) When passing through the area in front of the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320, the electromagnetic wave noise intrudes into various pins of the main control MPU 1310a projecting toward the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320 via the wiring FCBL The main control MPU 1310a is strongly controlled by its own built-in reset circuit under the influence of the Reset and there is a consuming fear.

  If the wiring accommodation groove is formed on the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 instead of in the wiring space formed between the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 and the bottom plate of the main control substrate box 1320, the wiring FCBL is The function display is received after being drawn along the wiring receiving groove, not the wiring space formed between the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 and the bottom plate of the main control substrate box 1320, and drawn from the lower side of the main control substrate box 1320. Electrically connected to unit connector MFCN. Also in this case, when electromagnetic wave noise intrudes into the wiring FCBL, as described above, when the wiring FCBL is accommodated and drawn along the wiring receiving groove formed on the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200, the main control MPU 1310a When passing through the area in front of the main control board 1310X (that is, in front of the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320) corresponding to the mounting position, electromagnetic noise is transmitted to the bottom board of the main control board box 1320 via the wiring FCBL. Intruding into various pins of the main control MPU 1310a protruding toward the main control MPU 1310a, there is a possibility that the main control MPU 1310a may be forcibly reset by its own built-in reset circuit under the influence of the electromagnetic wave noise.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as a positional relationship between the mounting position of the function display unit connector MFCN to which the wiring FCBL is electrically connected and the mounting position of the main control MPU 1310a, the function display unit connector MFCN is used as a main control board The main control MPU 1310a is disposed above the center line passing through the middle points of the right and left sides of the main control board 1310X, as well as being disposed closer to the left side from the center of the lower side of 1310X. That is, in the present embodiment, the function display unit connector MFCN is disposed below the center line passing the middle point of the main control MPU 1310a between the right side and the left side of the main control board 1310X. By arranging the main control MPU 1310a above the line, the function display unit connector MFCN and the main control MPU 1310a are arranged to be separated at the main control board 1310X.

  As a result, the main control MPU 1310a can be disposed apart from the function display unit connector MFCN to which the wiring FCBL is electrically connected. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave noise intruding into the wiring FCBL corresponds to the function display unit connector MFCN and the main control It is possible to prevent the pins of the main control MPU 1310a protruding toward the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320 from invading through the space separating the MPU 1310a from the main control board 1310X. Therefore, main control MPU 1310 a can be protected from wiring FCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can enter.

  Also, by arranging main control MPU 1310 a away from function display unit connector MFCN to which wiring FCBL is electrically connected, main control MPU 1310 a is not affected even if electromagnetic noise enters the wiring FCBL. In the space where the main control board 1310X or the function display unit connector MFCN and the main control MPU 1310a are separated from each other on the main control board 1310X, electromagnetic noises entering through the wiring FCBL can be attenuated. ing. Also in this point, the main control MPU 1310a can be protected from the wiring FCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can intrude.

  In the present embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a is disposed such that the package right side is separated from the right side of the main control board 1310X by at least a predetermined distance dimension (hereinafter referred to as "first wire separation distance dimension"). ing. This is because the line FCBL electrically connecting the function display unit 1400 and the main control board 1310X is drawn downward along the right side of the main control board box 1320, so the electromagnetic wave that has entered the line FCBL This is to prevent noise from intruding into various pins of the main control MPU 1310 a protruding toward the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320 through the space having the first wiring separation distance dimension from the wiring FCBL.

  Further, as described above, the wiring FCBL electrically connecting the function display unit 1400 and the main control substrate 1310X is in the wiring space formed between the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 and the bottom plate of the main control substrate box 1320. On the right side of the main control board box 1320 of the main control unit 1300 attached to the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 without being drawn around (or accommodated along the wiring accommodation groove formed on the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200) When it is drawn downward along it, it is bent toward the left side of the main control board box 1320 and is drawn along the lower side of the main control board box 1320 to the lower side of the function display unit connector MFCN. , And the main control board box 13 is electrically connected to the function display unit connector MFCN. The distance between the line FCBL drawn along the lower side of 0 and the various pins of the main control MPU 1310 a protruding toward the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320 (hereinafter referred to as “second wiring separation distance dimension” ) Can be secured large. The second wiring separation distance dimension is larger than the first wiring separation distance dimension. Thereby, the electromagnetic wave noise which has entered the wiring FCBL penetrates various pins of the main control MPU 1310 a projecting toward the bottom plate of the main control substrate box 1320 through the space having the second wiring distance from the wiring FCBL. Can be prevented. Also in this point, the main control MPU 1310a can be protected from the wiring FCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can intrude.

  In the present embodiment, the function display unit 1400 and the main control substrate 1310X are directly electrically connected by the wiring FCBL, but the function display unit 1400 and the main control substrate 1310X are electrically connected via the panel relay substrate 1710. It can also be configured to connect in a straight line. In this case, it is preferable to provide the panel relay substrate 1710 with an element capable of reducing or removing the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered the above-described wiring FCBL (that is, a plurality of control signals transmitted from the main control substrate 1310X to the function display unit 1400). It is preferable to provide an element capable of reducing or removing the electromagnetic wave noise with respect to the wiring FCBL. Thereby, it is possible to make the main control MPU 1310 a not affect the electromagnetic wave noise intruding through the wiring FCBL. Therefore, main control MPU 1310 a can be protected from wiring FCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can enter.

  A resistor, a filter circuit, etc. can be mentioned as such an element. It is known from the observation result of the waveform of the electromagnetic wave noise that the waveform width of the electromagnetic wave noise falls within about 2 microseconds (μs), and the filter circuit is a signal having a waveform width larger than such a waveform width. It is designed to pass through.

  In addition to resistances, filter circuits, etc., examples of such elements include EMC countermeasure parts (coils, beads, capacitors, etc.). They are inserted so as to be respectively connected in series, and when using a capacitor, they are inserted so as to be electrically connected in parallel to a plurality of wirings FCBL. If a steeper attenuation characteristic is required, a circuit formed by combining a coil and a capacitor may be inserted into each of the plurality of wirings FCBL, or the bead and the capacitor may be inserted. A circuit formed by combining these may be inserted.

  Further, the panel relay substrate 1710 detects the game ball B received by the gate sensor 2401 for detecting the game ball B passing through the gate section 2003 provided on the game board 5 and the special winning opening 2005 provided for the game board 5. Large winning opening sensor 2403, a general winning opening sensor 3001 for detecting the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 provided on the game board 5, detection of magnetism acting in the vicinity of the first starting opening 2002 provided for the game board 5 Two wires from various sensors such as the magnetic sensor 3003 are electrically connected and aggregated. That is, in addition to the two wires from the various sensors, the panel relay substrate 1710 is electrically connected to the wires FCBL from the function display unit 1400 and aggregated. Note that two wires from the first starting opening sensor 3002 for detecting the gaming ball B received in the first starting opening 2002 and a second starting opening for detecting the gaming ball B received in the second starting opening 2004 The two wires from the sensor 2402 are electrically connected directly to the respective predetermined connectors of the main control substrate 1310X without the intervention of the panel relay substrate 1710, respectively.

  The panel relay substrate 1710 is electrically connected to the main control substrate 1310 X via the connection connector 1710 a, in addition to the two wires from the various sensors, the wiring FCBL from the function display unit 1400. Therefore, when the function display unit 1400 and the main control board 1310X are electrically connected via the panel relay board 1710, the electromagnetic wave noise which has entered the wiring FCBL in the panel relay board 1710 is reduced or By providing elements that can be removed (that is, by providing elements capable of reducing or removing electromagnetic noise to a plurality of wirings FCBL transmitting control signals from main control substrate 1310X to function display unit 1400) And electromagnetic wave noise from the various sensors to the two wires can be prevented.

  As described above, the wire UPCBL electrically connecting the upper left panel decoration substrate 1131 and the panel drive substrate 1720 disposed behind the function display unit 1400 has a longer wire length, and in particular, the game board The wiring UPCBL routed from the upper right corner of 5 to the back surface of the game panel 1100 and the upper edge of the back surface of the back box 3010 is bent downward of the back surface of the back box 3010 and on the right side of the back surface of the back box 3010 The wiring UPCBL is drawn in this manner because the wiring processing pieces 3011 formed in the vertical direction along the upper and lower sides are respectively gathered up and drawn under the peripheral control unit 1500 and to the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700. As in the case of the above-described wiring FCBL, electromagnetic wave noise may intrude into the area where the noise is generated. As described above, the wiring UPCBL is bent toward the left side at the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700 below the peripheral control unit 1500 and is routed along the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700, and the drive substrate unit After being routed to the upper side of the predetermined connector of the panel drive substrate 1720 in 1700, since it is electrically connected to the predetermined connector, the influence of electromagnetic wave noise due to the wiring UPCBL affects the peripheral control substrate 1510 in the peripheral control unit 1500. There is a fear.

  Specifically, the lower side of peripheral control unit 1500 will be described in detail later, but connectors CN2 to CN7 (see FIG. 148) provided on peripheral control substrate 1510 and connectors provided on liquid crystal output substrate 1530 CN8 and CN9 are arranged (see FIG. 148). Corresponding various wires are electrically connected to such connectors CN2 to CN9. For this reason, the various wires electrically connected to the connectors CN2 to CN9 and the wiring UPCBL are arranged to cross or contact each other (arrangement arrangement), the electromagnetic wave noise intruding into the wiring UPCBL jumps out and is transmitted to the connectors CN2 to CN9. When entering into various electrically connected wires, disturbance occurs in the effect image drawn on the effect display device 1600, for example, under the influence of the electromagnetic wave noise intruding into the wire UPCBL (for example, a pattern such as a black screen) Turbulence will occur).

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, although not shown, various wires electrically connected to the connectors CN2 to CN9 are separated along the lower side of the peripheral control unit 1500 to be separated from the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700. There is. As a result, the wiring UPCBL drawn around along the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700 does not cross (or cross over) various wirings electrically connected to the connectors CN2 to CN9. Specifically, the wires UPCBL drawn along the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700 do not contact in parallel with various wires electrically connected to the connectors CN2 to CN9, and the connectors CN2 to CN9 are electrically connected. Do not make contact with some of the various wires connected to In the present embodiment, in order to prevent the main control MPU 1310a from being forcibly reset by the above-described internal reset circuit, various wirings electrically connected to the main control substrate 1310X intersect or contact the wiring UPCBL. It is arranged not to.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the wiring UPCBL routed below the peripheral control unit 1500 and along the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700 and the peripheral control IC of the peripheral control substrate 1510 accommodated in the peripheral control unit 1500 The peripheral control IC 1510a is disposed above the center line passing through the middle points of the right side and the left side of the peripheral control 1510 as a positional relationship with the mounting position of the peripheral control IC 1510a described later (FIG. 151). That is, in this embodiment, the peripheral control IC 1510a is arranged above the center line passing through the middle points of the right and left sides of the peripheral control board 1510, whereby the wiring UPCBL and the peripheral control IC 1510a are arranged. It is arranged to separate.

  Thus, peripheral control IC 1510 a of peripheral control board 1510 accommodated in peripheral control unit 1500 is separated from wiring UPCBL drawn under the peripheral control unit 1500 and along the upper side of drive substrate unit 1700. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered the wiring UPCBL is accommodated in the peripheral control unit 1500 via the space separating the wiring UPCBL and the peripheral control IC 1510a and is mounted on the peripheral control board 1510. It is possible to prevent intrusion into various pins. Therefore, peripheral control IC 1510a can be protected from wiring UPCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can enter.

  In addition, the peripheral control IC 1510 a of the peripheral control board 1510 accommodated in the peripheral control unit 1500 is disposed apart from the wiring UPCBL drawn under the peripheral control unit 1500 and along the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700. Thus, even if electromagnetic noise penetrates into the wiring UPCBL, the peripheral control IC 1510a is not affected by the wiring UPCBL on the peripheral control substrate 1510 or in a space separating the wiring UPCBL from the peripheral control IC 1510a. Electromagnetic wave noise can be attenuated. Also in this point, the peripheral control IC 1510a can be protected from the wiring UPCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can penetrate.

  Further, the substrates of the peripheral control substrate 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 and the substrate of the panel drive substrate 1720 of the drive substrate unit 1700 are electrically connected via a wire not shown, and this wire and wire UPCBL intersect or contact The electromagnetic wave noise intruding through the wiring UPCBL is attenuated in the panel drive substrate 1720, and the peripheral control substrate 1510 is processed from the panel drive substrate 1720 through the wiring. It becomes extremely difficult to intrude to the peripheral control board 1510 without the influence of electromagnetic wave noise. Also in this point, the peripheral control IC 1510a can be protected from the wiring UPCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can penetrate.

  Although the panel drive substrate 1720 attenuates the electromagnetic wave noise entering through the wiring UPCBL by the ground (solid earth), it is preferable to further provide an element capable of reducing or removing the electromagnetic wave noise (that is, It is preferable to respectively provide an element capable of reducing or removing electromagnetic noise to a plurality of wires UPCBL transmitting control signals from the panel drive substrate 1720 to the upper left panel decorative substrate 1131 disposed behind the function display unit 1400) . Thus, electromagnetic wave noise intruding through the wiring UPCBL can be reliably attenuated or removed in the panel drive substrate 1720. Therefore, peripheral control IC 1510a can be protected from wiring UPCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can enter.

  A resistor, a filter circuit, etc. can be mentioned as such an element. It is known from the observation result of the waveform of the electromagnetic wave noise that the waveform width of the electromagnetic wave noise falls within about 2 microseconds (μs), and the filter circuit is a signal having a waveform width larger than such a waveform width. It is designed to pass through.

  In addition to resistors, filter circuits, etc., examples of such elements include EMC countermeasure parts (coils, beads, capacitors, etc.), and when using coils or beads, electrical connection is made to a plurality of wires UPCBL. They are inserted so as to be connected in series with each other, and when using a capacitor, they are inserted so as to be electrically connected in parallel to a plurality of wires UPCBL. If a steeper attenuation characteristic is required, a circuit formed by combining a coil and a capacitor may be inserted into each of the plurality of wires UPCBL, or a bead and a capacitor may be inserted. A circuit formed by combining these may be inserted.

  In the embodiment described above, wiring UPCBL electrically connects the upper left panel decorative substrate 1131 and the peripheral control substrate 1510, and the substrate between the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the panel drive substrate 1720 is electrically connected. Among the wires (not shown), the wire UPCBL is configured to pass near the ball supply means (near at least one of the ball tank 552, the ball guiding unit 570, and the dispensing device 580). Then, among the wires forming the transmission path between the upper left panel decoration substrate 1131 and the peripheral control substrate 1510, the wiring UPCBL does not include the upper left panel decoration substrate 1131 and controls various decoration substrates 184, 273, etc etc on the door frame side. It is disposed so as not to cross or contact with a wiring which forms a transmission path with the substrate 1510. Therefore, such a configuration can also be adopted for various wirings electrically connected to the main control board 1310X. For example, among various wires electrically connected to the main control substrate 1310X, a wire passing under an environment strongly affected by electromagnetic noise and a wire other than the wire are arranged so as not to intersect or contact with each other. Thus, it is possible to prevent the main control MPU 1310a (main control board 1310X) that can be operated by the high frequency circuit of the crystal oscillator from being forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit described above. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a malfunction due to the influence of electromagnetic wave noise.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, a wire electrically connecting the upper left panel decorative substrate 1131 and the peripheral control substrate 1510 (a transmission path for electrically connecting the upper left panel decorative substrate 1131 and the peripheral control substrate 1510 is formed (The wiring UPCBL) and the wiring (not shown) for electrically connecting between the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the panel drive substrate 1720 as the wiring), but the connection connector provided on the back surface side of the upper left panel decoration substrate 1131 The wiring UPCBL ′, which is a connection cable electrically connected via the 1131 a, may be routed so as to be electrically connected directly to the peripheral control substrate 1510. In this case, the wiring UPCBL 'is a wiring forming another transmission path electrically connected to the peripheral control substrate 1510 (various decorative substrates 184 on the door frame side as other rendering means except the upper left panel decorative substrate 1131, It is arranged not to intersect or contact with the wiring forming the transmission path between the H. 273, etc etc. and the peripheral control board 1510. Thus, the wiring forming the transmission path between the upper left panel decorative substrate 1131 and the peripheral control substrate 1510, that is, the direct connection between the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the connection connector 1131a provided on the back surface side of the upper left panel decorative substrate 1131 Wiring that forms another transmission path electrically connected to the peripheral control board 1510 by popping out electromagnetic wave noise that has entered the wiring UPCBL '(the transmission path between the other rendering means and the control means excluding the specific rendering means It is possible to prevent intrusion into various wirings electrically connected to connectors CN2 to CN9 (see FIG. 148) of peripheral control unit 1500, which are wirings to be formed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a malfunction due to the influence of electromagnetic wave noise.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the wiring FCBL electrically connected through the unshown connector provided on the back surface side of the function display unit 1400 is from the upper right corner of the game board 5 to the back surface of the game panel 1100 and the back When it is drawn to the upper side of the rear surface of the box 3010, it is bent downward of the rear surface of the back box 3010, and a plurality of wiring processing pieces 3011 are formed in the vertical direction along the right side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 Although being praised, when it is routed from the upper right corner of the game board 5 to the rear surface of the game panel 1100 and the upper side of the rear surface of the back box 3010, it is bent from the upper side to the left side. By the wiring processing piece which is bent again toward the lower side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 on the left side and is formed in the vertical direction along the left side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 The left side of the main control board box 1320 of the main control unit 1300 which is bent and attached to the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 by being bent before reaching the upper side of the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 assembled and attached to the lower rear side of the gaming panel 1100 When being pulled downward along the side, it is bent toward the right side of the main control board box 1320 and is routed along the lower side of the main control board box 1320 to the lower side of the function display unit connector MFCN. After that, they may be electrically connected to the function display unit connector MFCN.

  In this way, the distance dimension between the line FCBL and the left side of the package of the main control MPU 1310a can be made larger than the above-described first line separation distance dimension, so the electromagnetic wave noise intruding into the line FCBL corresponds to this line FCBL. It is possible to prevent the pins of the main control MPU 1310a protruding toward the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320 from entering through the space having the distance from the package to the left side of the package of the main control MPU 1310a. Because, in a state where the game board 5 is attached to the pachinko machine 1, as shown in FIG. 97 and FIG. 98, below the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 attached to the payout base unit 550 in the main body frame 4. By being disposed, static electricity is likely to be accumulated in the area where the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are attached and the periphery thereof, and when electromagnetic wave noise is released by electrostatic discharge, the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are This is because there is a possibility of intruding into the wiring FCBL which is disposed below and which electrically connects the function display unit 1400 and the main control substrate 1310X.

  When adopting such an aspect and electrically connecting the function display unit 1400 and the main control board 1310 X via the panel relay board 1710, the panel relay board 1710 is described above. It is preferable to provide an element capable of reducing or removing electromagnetic wave noise intruding into the wiring FCBL. Thereby, it is possible to make the main control MPU 1310 a not affect the electromagnetic wave noise intruding through the wiring FCBL. Therefore, main control MPU 1310 a can be protected from wiring FCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can enter.

  A resistor, a filter circuit, etc. can be mentioned as such an element. It is known from the observation result of the waveform of the electromagnetic wave noise that the waveform width of the electromagnetic wave noise falls within about 2 microseconds (μs) as described above, and the filter circuit is larger than such a waveform width. It is designed to pass a signal having a waveform width.

  In addition to resistances, filter circuits, etc., as mentioned above, EMC countermeasure parts (coils, beads, capacitors, etc.) can also be mentioned as such elements, and in the case of using coils or beads, a plurality of wirings It is inserted so as to be electrically connected in series to FCBL, and when using a capacitor, it is inserted so as to be electrically connected in parallel to a plurality of interconnections FCBL. If a steeper attenuation characteristic is required, a circuit formed by combining a coil and a capacitor may be inserted into each of the plurality of wirings FCBL, or the bead and the capacitor may be inserted. A circuit formed by combining these may be inserted.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the wiring FCBL electrically connected through the unshown connector provided on the back surface side of the function display unit 1400 is from the upper right corner of the game board 5 to the back surface of the game panel 1100 and then to the back. When it is drawn to the upper side of the rear surface of the box 3010, it is bent downward of the rear surface of the back box 3010, and a plurality of wiring processing pieces 3011 are formed vertically along the right side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 The lines FCBL collected respectively by the line processing piece 3011 are bent toward the left side on the lower side of the peripheral control unit 1500 and drawn around along the lower side of the peripheral control unit 1500. Assembled by the lower wiring processing piece provided on the left side of the back surface of the back box 3010 and attached to the back lower portion of the game panel 1100 If it is bent downward before reaching the upper edge of the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 being taken and is drawn downward along the left side of the main control substrate box 1320 of the main control unit 1300 attached to the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 , After being bent toward the right side of the main control board box 1320 and routed to the lower side of the function display unit connector MFCN along the lower side of the main control board box 1320, electrically to the function display unit connector MFCN When connected, the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered the wiring FCBL may affect the peripheral control unit 1500.

  Specifically, on the lower side of peripheral control unit 1500, connectors CN2 to CN7 (see FIG. 148) provided on peripheral control substrate 1510 and connectors CN8 and CN9 provided on liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are arranged. Corresponding various wires are electrically connected to such connectors CN2 to CN9. For this reason, when various wirings electrically connected to the connectors CN2 to CN9 and the wirings FCBL cross or contact (cross over), electromagnetic noises invading the wirings FCBL are electrically transmitted to the connectors CN2 to CN9. When it penetrates into the various wiring connected to, the disturbance of the effect image drawn on the effect display device 1600 occurs, for example, under the influence of the electromagnetic wave noise intruding on the wiring FCBL (for example, the disturbance of the symbol such as black screen) Occurs).

  Therefore, various lines electrically connected to connectors CN2 to CN9 cross line FCBL or line FCBL so that line FCBL is not drawn along lower side (lower side of peripheral control unit 1500) of peripheral control unit 1500. It is preferable to configure so as not to be in contact arrangement (arrangement arrangement). For example, an illustration provided on the back surface side of the function display unit 1400 as a routing method of the wiring FCBL that does not become an arrangement (arrangement arrangement) where various wirings electrically connected to the connectors CN2 to CN9 and the wiring FCBL do not intersect or contact Wiring FCBL electrically connected through the non-connecting connector is bent from the upper side to the left side when it is routed from the upper right corner of the game board 5 to the rear face of the game panel 1100 and the upper side of the rear face of the back box 3010, At the left side of the rear surface of the back box 3010, it is bent again toward the lower side of the rear surface of the back box 3010, and gathered together by wiring processing pieces formed in the vertical direction along the left side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 The substrate is bent before reaching the upper side of the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 attached to the lower rear side of the panel 1100. When the main control board box 1320 attached to the rear surface of the main control unit 1300 is drawn downward along the left side of the main control board box 1320, the main control board box 1320 is bent toward the right side, and the main control board box 1320 After being drawn around the lower side of the function display unit connector MFCN along the lower side, the circuit board may be electrically connected to the function display unit connector MFCN.

  By doing this, the distance dimension between the line FCBL and the left side of the package of the main control MPU 1310a can be made larger than the above-mentioned first line separation distance dimension, so the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered the line FCBL It is possible to prevent intrusion into various pins of the main control MPU 1310a projecting toward the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320 through a space having a distance dimension from the wiring FCBL to the package left side of the main control MPU 1310a. Because, in a state where the game board 5 is attached to the pachinko machine 1, as shown in FIG. 97 and FIG. 98, below the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 attached to the payout base unit 550 in the main body frame 4. By being disposed, static electricity is likely to be accumulated in the area where the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are attached and the periphery thereof, and when electromagnetic wave noise is released by electrostatic discharge, the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are This is because there is a possibility of intruding into the wiring FCBL which is disposed below and which electrically connects the function display unit 1400 and the main control substrate 1310X.

  When adopting such an aspect and electrically connecting the function display unit 1400 and the main control board 1310 X via the panel relay board 1710, the panel relay board 1710 is described above. It is preferable to provide an element capable of reducing or removing electromagnetic wave noise intruding into the wiring FCBL. Thereby, it is possible to make the main control MPU 1310 a not affect the electromagnetic wave noise intruding through the wiring FCBL. Therefore, main control MPU 1310 a can be protected from wiring FCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can enter.

  A resistor, a filter circuit, etc. can be mentioned as such an element. It is known from the observation result of the waveform of the electromagnetic wave noise that the waveform width of the electromagnetic wave noise falls within about 2 microseconds (μs) as described above, and the filter circuit is larger than such a waveform width. It is designed to pass a signal having a waveform width.

  In addition to resistances, filter circuits, etc., as mentioned above, EMC countermeasure parts (coils, beads, capacitors, etc.) can also be mentioned as such elements, and in the case of using coils or beads, a plurality of wirings It is inserted so as to be electrically connected in series to FCBL, and when using a capacitor, it is inserted so as to be electrically connected in parallel to a plurality of interconnections FCBL. If a steeper attenuation characteristic is required, a circuit formed by combining a coil and a capacitor may be inserted into each of the plurality of wirings FCBL, or the bead and the capacitor may be inserted. A circuit formed by combining these may be inserted.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the function display unit connector MFCN is disposed below the center line passing through the middle points of the right and left sides of the main control board 1310X. While the main control MPU 1310a is disposed in the above, the positional relationship is reversed, and the main control MPU 1310a is disposed below the center line, while the function display unit connector MFCN is disposed above the center line. Alternatively, the function display unit connector MFCN and the main control MPU 1310a may be disposed apart from each other on the main control board 1310X. Even with this configuration, the main control MPU 1310a can be disposed apart from the function display unit connector MFCN to which the wiring FCBL is electrically connected. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave noise intruding into the wiring FCBL is for the function display unit It is possible to prevent the pins of the main control MPU 1310a projecting toward the bottom plate of the main control board box 1320 from entering the various pins of the main control board box 1320 via the space separating the connector MFCN and the main control MPU 1310a from each other in the main control board 1310X. Therefore, main control MPU 1310 a can be protected from wiring FCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can enter.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the wiring FCBL electrically connected through the unshown connector provided on the back surface side of the function display unit 1400 is from the upper right corner of the game board 5 to the back surface of the game panel 1100 and then to the back. When it is drawn to the upper side of the rear surface of the box 3010, it is bent downward of the rear surface of the back box 3010, and a plurality of wiring processing pieces 3011 are formed in the vertical direction along the right side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 The right side of the main control board box 1320 of the main control unit 1300 which is bent and attached to the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 by being bent before reaching the upper side of the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 attached to the lower rear side of the gaming panel 1100. Were drawn down along the. As described above, the area in which the wiring FCBL is routed is the front of the payout unit 560 attached to the payout base unit 550 in the main frame 4 shown in FIG. 97 when the gaming board 5 is attached to the pachinko machine 1 Was placed in As described above, the payout unit 560 has a ball guiding unit 570 having one guiding path for guiding the gaming ball B from the tank rail 553 in a serpentine manner, and one guiding path of the ball guiding unit 570. A payout device 580 for paying out the gaming balls B induced by the player one by one on the basis of an instruction from the payout control substrate 633, and an upper full-ball path unit 600 for guiding the gaming balls B having passed through the payout device 580 downward. And a lower full ball path unit 610 for guiding the game ball B having passed through the upper full ball path unit 600 to the door frame 3 side or the board unit 620 side. In other words, the area in which the wiring FCBL is routed in this way is in front of the ball guiding unit 570, the payout device 580, and the lower full ball path unit 610 when the gaming board 5 is attached to the pachinko machine 1. It was arranged. Therefore, in the case where the main control MPU 1310a can be protected from the wiring FCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can penetrate, the ball tank 552, the ball guiding unit 570, and the dispensing device 580 besides the routing of the wiring FCBL. Are not routed around the wiring space formed between the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200 and the bottom plate of the main control substrate box 1320 through at least one vicinity of (or formed on the rear surface of the substrate holder 1200) After being drawn to the lower side of the function display unit connector MFCN along the lower side of the main control board box 1320 so as not to be accommodated and drawn around the wiring accommodation groove, electricity to the function display unit connector MFCN May be connected.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the function display unit 1400 is attached to the upper left corner of the front component 1000 outside the gaming area 5a, but in this area, instead of the function display unit 1400, a plurality of full color LEDs A decorative substrate to be mounted may be attached. A plurality of wires (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “wires”) electrically connected via a connector (not shown) provided on the back side of the decorative substrate may be referred to, for example, with reference to FIG. To explain it, when it is routed from the upper right corner of the game board 5 to the back surface of the game panel 1100 and the upper edge of the back surface of the back box 3010, it is bent downward of the back surface of the back box 3010. The connectors of the corresponding peripheral control unit 1500 (peripheral control board 1510) are gathered together by the wiring processing pieces 3011 formed in plural in the vertical direction along the right side and bent toward the left side below the peripheral control unit 1500 Or the wiring method of electrically connecting to this connector after being drawn to the lower side of the game board, or When it is routed from the upper corner to the rear surface of the game panel 1100 and to the upper side of the rear surface of the back box 3010, it is bent from the upper side to the left side, and below the rear surface of the rear box 3010 at the left side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 It is bent again toward the right side, collected by the wiring processing pieces 3011 formed in plural in the vertical direction along the left side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 and bent toward the right side below the peripheral control unit 1500 After being drawn to the lower side of the connector of the peripheral control unit 1500 (peripheral control board 1510), the wiring method of electrically connecting to this connector can be mentioned.

  In the area where the wiring is drawn by such a wiring drawing method, the payout base attached to the payout base unit 550 in the main body frame 4 shown in FIG. 97 when the gaming board 5 is attached to the pachinko machine 1 As it is disposed in front of the unit 560 or in the vicinity (below) of the ball tank 552, as described above, there is a possibility that electromagnetic noise may intrude into the wiring.

  Therefore, while the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 in the peripheral control unit 1500 is arranged below the central line passing through the middle points of the right side and the left side of the peripheral control board 1510, By arranging the peripheral control IC 1510 a on the upper side, the connector and the peripheral control IC 1510 a are arranged to be separated on the peripheral control board 1510. Thus, the peripheral control IC 1510a can be disposed apart from the connector of the peripheral control board 1510 to which the wiring is electrically connected. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered the wiring causes the connector and the peripheral control IC 1510a to be peripheral control board Intruding into various pins of the peripheral control IC 1510 a can be prevented via the space separated at 1510. Therefore, peripheral control IC 1510a can be protected from the wiring which electromagnetic wave noise can penetrate.

  Also, by arranging the peripheral control IC 1510a away from the connector of the peripheral control board 1510 to which the wiring is electrically connected, the peripheral control IC 1510a is not affected even if electromagnetic noise enters the wiring, the peripheral control IC 1510a In the space where the connector of the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the peripheral control IC 1510 a are separated from each other on the control substrate 1510 or in the peripheral control substrate 1510, it is possible to attenuate the electromagnetic wave noise intruding through the wiring. Also in this point, the peripheral control IC 1510a can be protected from the wiring to which electromagnetic wave noise can penetrate.

  Although the decorative substrate and the peripheral control substrate 1510 in the peripheral control unit 1500 are directly electrically connected by wiring, the decorative substrate and the peripheral control substrate 1510 in the peripheral control unit 1500 are electrically connected via the panel relay substrate 1710. It can also be configured to connect in a straight line. In this case, it is preferable to provide the panel relay substrate 1710 with an element capable of reducing or removing the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered the above-described wiring (that is, to a plurality of wirings for transmitting control signals from the peripheral control substrate 1510 to the decoration substrate). It is preferable to provide an element capable of reducing or removing electromagnetic noise, respectively. Thus, it is possible to prevent the influence of the electromagnetic wave noise intruding through the wiring on the peripheral control IC 1510 a of the peripheral control substrate 1510. Therefore, peripheral control IC 1510a can be protected from the wiring which electromagnetic wave noise can penetrate.

  A resistor, a filter circuit, etc. can be mentioned as such an element. It is known from the observation result of the waveform of the electromagnetic wave noise that the waveform width of the electromagnetic wave noise falls within about 2 microseconds (μs), and the filter circuit is a signal having a waveform width larger than such a waveform width. It is designed to pass through.

  In addition to resistors, filter circuits, etc., examples of such elements include EMC countermeasure parts (coils, beads, capacitors, etc.). In the case where capacitors are used, they are inserted so as to be electrically connected in parallel to a plurality of wires. If a steeper attenuation characteristic is required, a circuit formed by combining a coil and a capacitor may be inserted into a plurality of wires, respectively, or the bead and the capacitor may be Circuits configured in combination may be inserted respectively.

When it is drawn to the upper side of the rear surface of the box 3010, it is bent downward of the rear surface of the back box 3010, and a plurality of wiring processing pieces 3011 are formed in the vertical direction along the right side of the rear surface of the back box 3010 Although being praised, it is routed from the upper right corner of the game board 5 to the back surface of the game panel 1100 and the upper edge of the back surface of the back box 3010. And the upper side to the left side, and the lower side of the back surface of the back box 3010 is bent again at the left side of the back surface of the back box 3010, and a plurality of them are vertically extended along the left side of the back surface When the wiring processing pieces to be formed are respectively gathered and drawn under the peripheral control unit 1500 to the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700, the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700 is bent toward the right side to drive substrate unit After being drawn around along the upper side of the 1700 and drawn up to the upper side of the predetermined connector of the panel drive substrate 1720 in the drive substrate unit 1700, it may be electrically connected to the predetermined connector. In this case, although not shown, various wirings electrically connected to connectors CN2 to CN9 (see FIG. 148) of peripheral control unit 1500 are drawn along the lower side of peripheral control unit 1500 to drive the drive substrate. Separate from the top edge of the unit 1700. As a result, the wiring FCBL routed along the upper side of the drive substrate unit 1700 does not cross (or cross over) the various wirings electrically connected to the connectors CN2 to CN9. With this configuration, peripheral control of peripheral control board 1510 housed in wiring UPCBL routed under peripheral control unit 1500 and along the upper side of drive substrate unit 1700 and peripheral control unit 1510. As a positional relationship between the mounting position of the IC 1510a (see FIG. 151), the peripheral control IC 1510a can be disposed above the center line passing through the middle points of the right and left sides of the peripheral control 1510. That is, by arranging the peripheral control IC 1510 a above the center line passing through the middle points of the peripheral control IC 1510 a and the middle points of the right and left sides of the peripheral control substrate 1510, the wiring UPCBL and the peripheral control IC 1510 a are separated can do. Thus, peripheral control IC 1510 a of peripheral control board 1510 accommodated in peripheral control unit 1500 is separated from wiring UPCBL drawn under the peripheral control unit 1500 and along the upper side of drive substrate unit 1700. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered the wiring UPCBL is accommodated in the peripheral control unit 1500 via the space separating the wiring UPCBL and the peripheral control IC 1510a and is mounted on the peripheral control board 1510. It is possible to prevent intrusion into various pins. Therefore, peripheral control IC 1510a can be protected from wiring UPCBL to which electromagnetic wave noise can enter.

Further, the center member 2500 is provided with a start opening solenoid 2404 for opening and closing the second start opening 2004 in accordance with the normal lottery result selected by passage of the game ball B of the gate unit 2003. There is provided an attacker solenoid 2405 for opening and closing the special winning opening 2005 in accordance with the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result selected by receiving the game ball B into the starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004.

  The center member 2500 is disposed above the starting opening unit 2100 and the side unit 2200 in the game area 5a and slightly above the center of the front view, and is mounted on the front surface of the base panel 1110 of the game panel 1100. It is attached via 830. The center member 2500 is formed in a frame shape, and can visually recognize from the front the effect display device 1600 disposed behind the game panel 1100 and various effect units provided in the back unit 3000 through the frame. .

  The frame-shaped center member 2500 has a surrounding frame 832 projecting forward than the front surface of the base panel 1110 of the game panel 1100 around the lower side, and is driven into the game area 5a by the surrounding frame 832 The game ball B can not enter into the frame.

  The center member 2500 has a warp entrance 2501 in which the game balls B in the first game area 5a1 can be opened and a game ball B entering the warp entrance 2501 on the outer peripheral surface of the enclosure frame 832 on the left side in front view. A warp outlet 2502 which can be released and opened in a frame, and a stage shelf 2503 which can be released to the third game area 5a3 after rolling the gaming ball B released from the warp outlet 2502 in the left-right direction; Have.

  The stage shelf 2503 of the center member 2500 has a curved shape in which the center side in the left-right direction is recessed and corresponds to a position directly above the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100, that is, the center member 2500 is a game panel 1100 (base panel 1110 In the state of being attached to the above, the substantially central position in the left-right direction is formed in a wave shape so as to be slightly higher than the left and right sides. The stage shelf 2503 is configured such that a portion (apex) slightly higher than the left and right sides in the center in the left-right direction and a lowermost portion (valleys) in the left and right sides are lower toward the front. The game balls B can be discharged to the third game area 5a3 from these portions.

  In the state where the center member 2500 is assembled to the game board 5, a raised part (top part) of the center in the left-right direction of the stage shelf 2503 is located directly above the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100. Thus, when the gaming ball B is released from the center of the stage shelf 2503, it is accepted by the first starting opening 2002 with extremely high probability.

  The center member 2500 has an area forming portion 2504 located on the front side of the second game area 5a2 protruding to the right in a front view, and has the area forming portion 2504 in the order from the top in FIG. , A gate section 2003, a first receiving port 2006, a general winning port 2001 (a second receiving port), and a second start port 2004 (a second receiving port) with an opening and closing piece 850 are provided in the second game area 5a2. It is mounted from the front in the formed mounting opening. Also, in the area forming unit 2504, a nail with obstacle 2007 is implanted in the base panel 1110 as in the first game area 5a1. In the present embodiment, the center member 2500 and the region forming portion 2504 are integrally provided, but as another form, the center member 2500 and the region forming portion 2504 are separately provided. May be Further, when the area of the second game area 5a2 is a small area, a ball flow lower surface portion and an obstacle projection are formed in the area forming portion 2504, and the area forming portion 2504 is equivalent to the second game area 5a2 described above. It may have a function.

  The center member 2500 is assembled between the game board 5 and between the upper surface of the enclosure frame 832 (specifically, the upper surface on the right side from the approximate center in the horizontal direction) and the outer rail 1001 surrounding the upper side of the game area 5a. A gap (a gap having a width equal to one game ball, which is 13 mm in the present embodiment) slightly larger than the outer diameter (11 mm in the present embodiment) of the game ball B is attached. This gap is the communication passage 5a4 connecting the first gaming area 5a1 and the second gaming area 5a2 described above at the upper side.

  The connecting passage portion 5a4 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 131 is a stopper provided at the intersection of the outer rail 1001 and the right rail 1005 described above from the tapered corner portion 832b of the stepped portion 832a at the center of the upper surface of the enclosure frame 832 A transverse passage portion extending in the left-right direction up to 1006 and a vertical passage portion extending downstream in the downstream direction of the transverse passage portion are provided. The lateral passage portion is a substantially linear clearance and extends substantially tangential to the apex of the arc along the outer rail 1001 drawn by the launched gaming ball B. Therefore, whether or not the game ball B fired with a specific strong launch force (a launch force of a strength which exceeds the first game area 5a1) rides on the upper surface of the tapered corner portion 832b of the step portion 832a of the enclosure 832 or It can be rolled by contact with the inner surface of the outer rail 1001 by centrifugal force to move to the back of the lateral passage portion (near the inlet of the longitudinal passage portion).

  As shown in FIG. 132, which is an enlarged view of the main part of FIG. 131, the vertical passage portion of the communication passage portion 5a4 is a vertical hook-like discharge that opens the opening 848aH directly below the stopper 1006 and communicates downward. A partition having a predetermined width between the section 848a and the vertical hook-like discharge section 848b which opens an opening 848bH on the near side of the game ball B by approximately one game ball from the discharge section 848a in the hitting direction of the game ball B It is provided in the form divided by the part 848e. The partition 848e plays a role of dividing the opening 848aH and the opening 848bH, and the top (uppermost surface) of the partition 848e is inclined so as to allow the game ball to flow down to the right. The partition 848e has a reinforcing member (reinforcing resin 848e1) formed to have a predetermined width in the left-right direction in consideration of the game ball collision, and a housing 848e2 for housing the reinforcing member. . Further, from the peripheral wall forming the housing portion 848e2 to the lower side, left and right partition walls 848e3 for dividing the discharge portion 848a and the discharge portion 848b in the left and right direction are formed, and the game ball B flowing down the discharge portion 848a The game ball B flowing down the 848b is prevented from being mixed in the middle of the flowing down. Also, in the embodiment of FIG. 132, the top (uppermost surface) of the partition 848e between the opening 848bH and the opening 848aH is virtually the bottom of the communication passage 5a4 (the upper surface of the enclosure 832 of the center member 2500). It is formed in the height which becomes substantially flush with the extension line at the time of extending to. As a result, of the gaming balls B fired with a specific strong firing force (a firing force of strength exceeding the first game area 5a1), the bottom surface of the communication passage portion 5a4 is at a speed not to jump over the partition 848e. The game ball B which rolls comes into the opening 848bH in front of the partition 848e. Further, among the gaming balls B fired with a specific strong firing force (shooting force with a strength to jump over the first game area 5a1), the top of the partition 848e is crossed with the centrifugal force while remaining in contact with the inner surface of the outer rail 1001. The game ball B (the game ball B that has passed the top of the partition 848e in a floating state from the bottom of the communication passage 5a4) collides with the stopper 1006 and enters the opening 848aH. The plurality of discharge parts 848a and 848b are arranged side by side with the top of the second game area 5a2, that is, the places 5a2a and 5a2b (the exit part of the communication passage 5a4, or the second place to enter the second game area 5a2). It is connected in the state which makes the entrance part of the game area 5a2 different. As described above, in this embodiment, although having the game property of firing the game ball B with a specific strong launch force (a launch force of a strength which exceeds the first game area 5a1), By taking into consideration the strength of the steering wheel adjustment within the range, the game ball after jumping over the first game area 5a1 has new game characteristics in which the whereabouts of the game balls are diversified.

  As described above, in the second game area 5a2, the general winning opening 2001 (second receiving port), the second start opening 2004 (second receiving opening) that accepts or passes the game ball B and gives a predetermined privilege to the player. The second receiving port), the gate section 2003, etc., and the first receiving port 2006 (in the embodiment, the incoming ball = out) in which the handling (results from entering the ball) from the second receiving port is disadvantageously set. The probability of entering the ball is appropriately set by the type of the exit of the communication passage 5a4 and the arrangement of the obstacle nails 2007.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 132, the gaming ball B that enters (drops) the second game area 5a2 from the location 5a2a corresponding to the opening 848aH of the release part 848a directly below the abutment 1006 through the communication passage 5a4 is It is set so that the ball entering probability to enter the first receiving port 2006 is larger than the probability of entering to the second port and passing through the gate unit 2003.

  On the other hand, the game ball B entering the second game area 5a2 from the location 5a2b corresponding to the opening 848bH of the next discharge part 848b has a relatively low probability of entering the first reception slot 2006 and is relatively small at the second reception slot The probability of entering the ball and the probability of passing through the gate portion 2003 are set to be large.

  Therefore, when hitting the second game area 5a2, the player collides with the stopping portion 1006 to aim at the discharge portion 848b leading to the left route that is easy to enter the second receiving port and hard to enter the first receiving port 2006. The batting force adjustment of the handle 182 is carefully performed so that the gaming ball B is fired with the force that the gaming ball B can roll on the bottom of the communication passage portion 5a4 at a speed that does not jump over the partition 848e.

  In addition, the release parts 848a and 848b are provided with deceleration means such as obstacle ridges 849 and bent parts 849s in the middle of the flow path, and the game ball B passes through either release part 848a or 848b by this deceleration means. Time for the player to recognize whether the This is because which release part 848a, 848b the game ball B passes through greatly affects the player's profit. The speed reduction means in the middle of the flow path is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the obstacle ridges 849 may be provided in both of the release portions 848a and 848b, or the bending portions 849s may be provided in both of the release portions 848a and 848b Alternatively, a transparent cover having a width sufficient to cover the front of both of the discharge portions 848a and 848b may be provided, and the rear side of the transparent cover may be provided with an obstacle ridge. Good.

  In addition, the effect display device 1600 is enlarged so that the image of the effect display device 1600 is also displayed at a position corresponding to the back side of the release portions 848a and 848b, and the passage surface of the release portions 848a and 848b is formed transparently. The image of the effect display device 1600 may be visible through the transparent passage surface, and the emission units 848a and 848b may be decorated with the image of the effect display device 1600. For example, in the game state where it is necessary to use the second game area 5a2 (for example, a short time game state, etc.), a specific image (for example, a flame image) is displayed behind the discharge part 848b. Alternatively, the player may be notified that the release unit 848 b is advantageous.

  In addition, prior to the start of the gaming state (for example, a short time gaming state, etc.) where it is necessary to use the second gaming area 5a2, an announcement to inform the player in advance that the ejection portion 848b is advantageous over the ejection portion 848a Display an image (for example, a message image of “Aim for the left passage and hit right!”, Etc.) in a predetermined display area, or “Aim to hit here right at the back of the discharge part 848b The message image of “T!” May be displayed, and a more detailed “right-handed” explanatory effect may be executed so as to prevent the player from being confused at the start of the short time state.

  Furthermore, in these cases, preferably, for each of the openings 848aH and 848bH of the release parts 848a and 848b, for example, an effect sensor (discharge type detection means) for detecting the game ball B is provided. Depending on which of 848a and 848b, predetermined notification may be performed using sound or image display or light emission of a light emitter provided in the emitting portions 848a and 848b. For example, each effect sensor counts the number of gaming balls that have passed through the release portion 848a and the number of gaming balls that have passed through the release portion 848b, and the notification type (notification pattern) according to the status of those count values. Can be illustrated. Specifically, when the count value of the number of gaming balls passed through the release portion 848a in the time saving game state reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10), a voice notification of "do your best!" Or a specific image display a, "Congratulations to" to perform all or part of the light emission in the specific light emission pattern a, or when the count value of the number of gaming balls passed through the release part 848b in the time-saving game state reaches a predetermined number (for example, ten) It can be exemplified that all or a part of the light notification in the specific light emission pattern b and the specific image display b and the sound notification with “!” Can be performed. In addition, when the count value of the number of gaming balls which has continuously passed only the releasing portion 848a without passing the releasing portion 848b and the gaming ball has reached a predetermined number (for example, three), "with caution!" A game where all or a part of light emission in a specific image display c and a specific light emission pattern c is performed or the game ball does not pass through the release part 848a continuously through only the release part 848b When the count value of the number of balls reaches a predetermined number (for example, three), all or a part of the light emission in the specific information display d and the specific light emission pattern d and sound notification of "Good! Good!" It is possible to give an example of this, which makes it possible to give the player more satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

  FIGS. 133 to 139 show other forms of the communication passage portion 5a4 or the release portions 848a and 848b or the second game area 5a2.

  In the example shown in FIG. 133, the width in the height direction of the communication passage 5a4 is expanded to approximately two game balls, and using this height, the partition between the opening 848bH and the opening 848aH The top of the portion 848 e is slightly higher than the bottom surface of the communication passage portion 5 a 4 (the upper surface of the enclosure frame 832 of the center member 2500). Thus, the game ball B rolling on the bottom of the communication passage 5a4 strikes the left side of the top of the partition 848e and enters the opening 848bH, so that the game ball B can be further divided by the handle adjustment to the release 848a. It can be easy.

Further, since the width in the height direction of the communication passage portion 5a4 is wide and the height of the shot game ball B can be seen at first glance, it can be predicted at an early stage which discharge portion 848a, 848b is to be inserted. Therefore, the adjustment of the launch force can be performed in a short time.
Further, even if a "twist strike" to say the secret of firing a plurality of game balls B together is performed, as shown in FIG. 133, if a plurality of game balls move vertically, the lower The game balls B hit the partition portion 848e and flow to the discharge portion 848b, and the upper game balls B jump over the partition portion 848e and flow to the discharge portion 848a, so that damage due to "twist strike" or the like is less likely to occur.

  By the way, in the embodiment as shown in FIG. 133, as described above, the game ball B struck is repeatedly collided with the dividing portion 848e, and the game ball B hit against the stop portion 1006 also collides. For example, it is preferable to provide reinforcement such as molding of a rib or an insert of a metal plate which can withstand the impact of Further, since the gaming balls B contact repeatedly, it is preferable to cover the surface of the partition 848e with a material having wear resistance such as a metal plate, for example.

  Moreover, what is shown in FIG. 134 is an embodiment in which a branching portion 848c is extended on the upstream side of the reinforcing resin 848e1 differently from FIGS. 132 and 133. Specifically, in FIG. 134, an upper and lower partition extending in the left and right direction separating the passages so that a plurality of ball passages are formed in the up and down direction on the upstream side of the plurality of discharge portions 848a and 848b in the communication passage portion 5a4. A branch portion 848c having a wall 848c1 is provided, and the first ball passage 5a4a of the plurality of ball passages formed by the branch portion 848c is a discharge portion 848a of the plurality of discharge portions 848a and 848b. The second ball passage 5a4b of the plurality of ball passages communicating with the 1 discharge portion) and formed by the branch portion 848c is in communication with the discharge portion 848b (second discharge portion) of the plurality of discharge portions 848a and 848b Configured to

  The branch portion 848c is provided with a metal buffer pin 848d at its tip, and the buffer pin 848d receives the impact of the game ball B to prevent the branch portion 848c from being damaged. Of course, the buffer pin 848d may not be provided if the end of the upper and lower partition wall 848c1 of the branch portion 848c is covered and reinforced with a metal cover or the like.

  Also in this case, the player adjusts the launch force of the game ball B with the handle 182 to aim at either the first ball passage 5a 4a or the second ball passage 5a 4 b, but the first ball is in a stage where the batting force is strong Since it is necessary to strike the passage 5a 4a and the second ball passage 5a 4b separately, the degree of difficulty in adjusting the handle 182 is high, and the difference in technique by the player is easily reflected. Therefore, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when the intended result is obtained is increased.

  In the example shown in FIG. 134, a space is formed on the left side of the accommodating portion 848e2 of the reinforcing resin 848e1. In this space, the reinforcing resin 848e1 is inserted, or the reinforcing resin 848e1 is formed. The strength may be further improved by mounting another reinforcing member different from the above. In addition, in consideration of the appearance when this space portion is enlarged, the surface side of the reinforcing resin or reinforcing member mounted in the space portion may be given a predetermined decoration, or the reinforcing resin or reinforcing material. Instead of a member, some effect device (for example, a fourth symbol display device or a sub liquid crystal) may be provided to have both effects of the reinforcing surface and the effect surface.

  135 (a) and 135 (b), a drop port 5a4c connecting the first ball passage 5a4a and the second ball passage 5a4b is provided in a part of the branch portion 848c of the communication passage portion 5a4 in FIG. A part of the gaming balls flowing through the one ball passage 5a 4a is dropped into the second ball passage 5a 4b and can be dropped from the second discharge portion 848b to a specific place 5a 2b of the second game area 5a2. In this case, a variation of the adjustment of the handle 182 which separates the discharge parts 848a and 848b (for example, as shown in FIG. 135 (b), the game ball B is hit against the buffer pin 848d of the branch part 848c to change the traveling direction upward, Since the game ball B is hit against the outer rail 1001 and bounced back into the drop opening 5a 4c), the interest of the game also increases.

  The one shown in FIG. 136 is the one shown in FIG. 134 in which the tip of the bifurcated portion 848c is set in the vicinity of the step 832a of the enclosure frame 832 of the center member 2500, whereby the tip of the bifurcated portion 848c is hit. Since the gaming ball B is likely to be bounced back to the first gaming area 5a1, the difficulty in striking the first ball passages 5a4a and 5a4b is further improved. Incidentally, in the examples of FIGS. 134 and 135 (a) and 135 (b), since the rebounding space 832c is provided between the tip of the branching portion 848c and the stepped portion 832a of the enclosure frame 832 of the center member 2500, Most of the game balls B that hit back against the portion 848c enter the second ball passage 5a 4b while rolling on the upper surface of the enclosure 832.

  The ones shown in FIGS. 137 and 138 are examples in which the discharge portions 848a and 848b in FIG. 132 are elongated and the second game area 5a2 is shortened in the vertical direction. In this case, they pass through the discharge portions 848a and 848b. Since the residence time of the game ball B can be extended, there is an effect that the visibility of the game ball B passing through the release portions 848a and 848b can be enhanced.

  Also, the examples shown in FIGS. 137 and 138 are examples in which the risk of entering the first receiving port 2006 is increased by arranging the first receiving port 2006 above and below the gate section 2003, and by doing so, the gate section Since the thrill to target 2003 can be enhanced, there is an effect that the interest of the game can be increased.

  As described above, in the example shown in FIGS. 131 to 138, there is a profit / disadvantage profit difference between the subsequent falling paths between the places 5a2a and 5a2b entering the second game area 5a2, and thus the always advantageous place 5a2b I tried to aim, but different types of profits were provided in the subsequent falling path by the entering places 5a2a, 5a2b, and according to the gaming state, one of the places 5a2a, 5a2b was appropriately selected and aimed May be

  That is, in the example of FIG. 139, the game ball B entering from the place 5a2a corresponding to the opening 848aH of the release part 848a immediately below the abutment 1006 through the communication passage part 5a4 enters the first reception port 2006 Is set to have a possibility of passing through the gate portion 2003 although it is larger than the probability of entering the second receiving port.

  On the other hand, the gaming ball B entering from the location 5a2b corresponding to the opening 848bH of the next discharge part 848b has a very small entering probability into the first receiving port 2006 and a large entering probability into the second receiving port It is set to.

  Therefore, when hitting the second game area 5a2, the player aims to strike the gate section 2003 and collides with the blocking section 1006 even if the risk of entering the first receiving port 2006 according to the game state, and so the discharge section Aiming at 848a, for example, in the case of a big hit, it is difficult to enter the first receiving port 2006, and it is easy to enter the second receiving port, and aim at the discharge portion 848b that easily reaches the large winning port 2005 with low risk. Force adjustment will be performed.

  Although not shown, the center member 2500 described above is, for example, a part corresponding to the second game area 5a2 of the center member 2500 and a part other than that, for each part common to different models and for each model The portions to be changed may be divided into a plurality (at least two) and the blocks may be combined to form one center member 2500. By doing so, it is possible to mass-produce a part common to each model, so it is possible to suppress the cost of the center member 2500.

  In addition, the member between the discharge portion 848a and the discharge portion 848b may be movable, and when a specific condition is satisfied, the distance between the opening 848aH or 848bH of one of the discharge portions 848a or 848b may be expanded.

  In addition, the inner surface of the communication passage 5a4 may be provided with decelerating means such as obstacle ridges 849 provided on the release portions 848a and 848b so that entry to the release portion 848b is technically facilitated.

  In front unit 2000, gaming ball B accepted in general winning opening 2001 is sent to back unit 3000 on the rear side of gaming panel 1100 and detected by general winning opening sensor 3001, and then to lower substrate holder 1200. Exhausted.

  In addition, the game ball B received in the first start opening 2002 is sent to the back unit 3000 on the rear side of the game panel 1100 and detected by the first start opening sensor 3002, and then discharged to the lower substrate holder 1200. Be done.

  In addition, the game ball B received in the second start port 2004 is sent to the rear side of the game panel 1100 after being detected by the second start port sensor 2402 and discharged to the lower substrate holder 1200. The game ball B accepted by the big winning opening 2005 is detected by the big winning opening sensor 2403, and then sent to the rear side of the gaming panel 1100 and discharged to the lower substrate holder 1200. After being detected by the first inlet sensor 2406, the gaming ball B received in the first inlet 2006 is sent to the rear side of the gaming panel 1100 and discharged to the lower substrate holder 1200.

  In addition, the first starting port sensor 3002 is a first starting port sensor main side (hereinafter, referred to as "first starting port sensor main side 3002a") and a first starting port sensor secondary side (hereinafter, "first starting port sensor And the first start port sensor main side 3002a and the first start port sensor second side 3002b are at least erroneously detected preventing distance (in this embodiment, 14 mm). It has a large distance dimension compared to the diameter (11 mm) of the gaming ball) and is disposed apart from each other in the vertical direction. Since the first start port sensor main side 3002a and the first start port sensor secondary side 3002b use the same non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch, the first start port sensor main side 3002a and the first start port When the sensor slave side 3002b is disposed in a state where the erroneous detection prevention distance dimension or less, the gaming ball B passing through the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a is combined with the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a to the first starting opening It may be detected by the sensor slave side 3002b, and the gaming ball B passing through the first start port sensor slave side 3002b is detected by the first start port sensor slave side 3002b together with the first start port sensor main side 3002a. It is because there is a case.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a and the first starting opening sensor slave side 3002b are spaced apart by a dimensional distance (in the present embodiment, 43 mm) larger than the erroneous detection preventing distance dimension. Thus, when the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a detects the game ball B passing through the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a, the electrical influence of the detection affects the first starting opening sensor secondary side 3002b. By the physical structure that the first starting opening sensor slave 3002b erroneously detects even though the game ball B is not yet passing through the first starting opening sensor slave 3002b. Can be prevented, and when the first start-up sensor slave 3002b detects the game ball B passing through the first start-port sensor slave 3002b, The first starting opening sensor main side 3002a is affected by the electric effect of knowledge, so that the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a is in the state of having already passed the first starting opening A physical structure can prevent the mouth sensor main side 3002a from detecting erroneously. Thus, the gaming ball B received in the first starting opening 2002 is first detected by the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a by passing through the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a, and the first starting opening sensor After passing through the side 3002 b, the substrate 300 is discharged to the lower substrate holder 1200 after being detected by the first start port sensor side 3002 b.

  In the present embodiment, the first start-up sensor 3002 configured by two sensors (double sensors) of the first start-up sensor main side 3002 a and the first start-up sensor secondary side 3002 b performs the first start-up. The game ball B received by the mouth 2002 can be detected reliably. In addition, an irregular ball (a game ball or a ball approximately equal in diameter or a synthetic resin ball approximately equal in diameter) to which a flexible cord-like operation line (a thread, a piano wire, a wire or a linear member such as a catheter) is attached. A detailed description of the injustice detecting process capable of detecting and notifying by the first starting opening sensor 3002 configured by two sensors (double sensors) will be described in detail the injustice by the radio wave irradiation using the).

In a state in which the plurality of LEDs for the first pattern of the substrate and the plurality of LEDs for the second pattern of the decorative substrate for the second pattern are not lighted, they appear transparent and are disposed on the rear side of the back unit 3000 It is possible to visually recognize various decoration bodies, effect images and the like displayed on the effect display device 1600 in a good state.

  The plurality of upper reflecting portions forming the first pattern and the right reflecting portion forming the second pattern are a plurality of LEDs for the first pattern and a plurality of the second patterns respectively corresponding to each other. It has a flat surface extending at right angles to the straight line connected to the LED and inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the rear surface of the light guide plate. The upper reflection portion and the right reflection portion are recessed in a pentroof triangle. The upper reflecting portion and the right reflecting portion are substantially parallel to the vertical line on the front surface of the light guide plate, with light incident from the corresponding plurality of LEDs for the first pattern and the plurality of LEDs for the second pattern. Reflect in the direction. On the other hand, light incident from the plurality of LEDs for the first pattern and the plurality of LEDs for the second pattern that do not correspond to each other is reflected in a direction inclined with respect to the vertical line on the front surface of the light guide plate. Therefore, only the light from the plurality of LEDs for the corresponding first pattern and the plurality of LEDs for the second pattern can be made to reach the eyes of the player positioned in front of the light guide plate.

  The plurality of LEDs for the first pattern mounted on the lower surface of the first pattern decorative substrate are arranged in a line in the left-right direction, and the first LEDa, the second LEDb, the third LEDc, and the fourth It is divided into four groups of LEDd. The first LEDa, the second LEDb, the third LEDc, and the fourth LEDd are arranged so as to make two rounds each by a predetermined number (here, three) from the left.

  The first pattern is a pattern constituted by a plurality of equilateral triangles bounded by extension lines of a horizontal line, an upper right oblique line, and an upper left oblique line forming the decoration pattern. The first pattern is a pattern of six large triangles of approximately the same size as an equilateral triangle formed by gathering the contours of one equilateral triangle in the ornamental pattern, and the outline of one equilateral triangle in the ornamental pattern It is composed of a plurality of small triangles of a size that fits. The patterns of the six large triangles are arranged in a circle around the center of the game area 5a so as to be entirely hexagonal, and a plurality of small triangles are arranged to surround the patterns of the six large triangles. It is arranged.

  The pattern of the large triangle of the first pattern is such that a plurality of equilateral triangles of different sizes are superimposed such that the sizes become smaller in order while being eccentric to the vertex side closer to the center of the game area 5a. It is formed in the pattern. The small triangle pattern of the first pattern is formed in a pattern in which the outlines of the equilateral triangle are arranged concentrically.

  The first pattern includes a first pattern portion including a plurality of upper reflecting portions corresponding to the first LEDa, and a second pattern portion including a plurality of upper reflecting portions corresponding to the second LEDb, and It is comprised from the 3rd pattern part comprised by the several top reflection part corresponding to 3 LEDc, and the 4th picture part comprised by the several top reflection part corresponding to 4th LEDd.

  The first pattern, the second pattern, the third pattern, the fourth pattern, and so on are large triangular patterns in which a plurality of equilateral triangles with different sizes in the first pattern are overlapped in order to decrease in size. The part, the first pattern part, the second pattern part, and the third pattern part are superimposed on the center side of the game area 5a in an overlapping manner. In addition, the small triangle pattern consisting of the contours of a plurality of equilateral triangles in the first pattern has a first pattern portion, a second pattern portion, a third pattern portion, a fourth pattern portion, and so on in order of decreasing size. Are arranged concentrically in the order of.

  The second pattern is a pattern having a guide (message) to the player consisting of the characters “CHANCE!”.

  Next, the light emission effect by the table effect unit 2600 will be briefly described. When the first LEDa of the decorative substrate for the first pattern is made to emit light, the light incident in the light guide plate is reflected to the front by the first pattern portion, and the remaining second pattern portion, third pattern portion, fourth pattern Since the part and the second pattern are reflected to other than the front, only the first part looks bright to the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine 1. In addition, when the second LEDb of the decorative substrate for the first pattern is made to emit light, the light incident in the light guide plate is reflected to the front in the second image portion, and the remaining first image portion, the third image portion, the second Since the four-pattern portion and the second pattern are reflected to other than the front, only the second-pattern portion looks bright to the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine 1.

  In addition, when the third LEDc of the decorative substrate for the first pattern is made to emit light, the light incident in the light guide plate is reflected to the front by the third image portion, and the remaining first image portion, the second image portion, the second Since the four symbol parts and the second symbol part are reflected to other than the front, only the third symbol part is seen to shine from the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine 1. Furthermore, when the fourth LED d of the first design decorative substrate is made to emit light, the light incident in the light guide plate is reflected to the front in the fourth design section, and the remaining first design section, second design section, second Since the three symbol parts and the second symbol are reflected to other than the front, only the fourth symbol part appears to be emitted from the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine 1.

  And in the first pattern, in the part of the pattern of the large triangle, the first pattern section, the second pattern section, the third pattern section, the fourth pattern section, the first pattern section, the second pattern section, the third pattern section, Is superimposed on the center side of the game area 5a, and in the small triangle pattern, the first pattern, the second pattern, the third pattern, and the fourth pattern are concentrically arranged in this order. The first picture part, the second picture part, the third picture part, and the first picture part, the second picture part, the third picture part, when the light is emitted in the order of the first LEDa, the second LEDb, the third LEDc and the fourth LEDd. It will light-emit in order of a 4th pattern part, and it can perform light-emitting production like animation with a motion which moves toward the center from the outside.

  On the other hand, when the fourth LEDd, the third LEDc, the second LEDb, and the first LEDa are made to emit light in this order, the fourth pattern, the third pattern, the second pattern and the first pattern are emitted in order A light-emitting effect such as animation with movement moving from the center side to the outside can be performed.

  Furthermore, when the first LEDa, the second LEDb, the third LEDc, and the fourth LEDd are caused to emit light in different colors, respectively, the first pattern, the second pattern, the third pattern, and the fourth pattern are different colors. Can emit light.

  In addition, when the plurality of LEDs for the second pattern of the second pattern decorative substrate are made to emit light, the light incident in the light guide plate is reflected to the front with the second pattern, and the remaining first pattern portion, Since the second pattern, the third pattern, and the fourth pattern are reflected to other than the front, only the second pattern appears to be emitted from the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1. Therefore, the plurality of LEDs for the second pattern can emit the second pattern including the characters "CHANCE!".

  Thus, according to the table effect unit 2600, a plurality of (three or more) different patterns (a first pattern portion, a second pattern portion, a third pattern portion, a fourth pattern portion) by a single light guide plate It is not necessary to provide a plurality of light guide plates for each pattern in order to cause an animation display or the like, and the thickness in the front-rear direction can be made as thin as possible. Therefore, since a large space can be easily secured behind the light guide plate, other effect units can be arranged in the space, and the appeal to the player can be enhanced, and the player can be It can be entertained, and a decrease in interest for the game can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the semitransparent first pattern floats up in front of the back unit 3000 and the effect display device 1600 by the light guide plate, it is possible to show the light emission decoration moving like an animation, so light emission using the conventional light guide plate It is possible to give a strong impact to players who are familiar with the production, as well as to surprise and entertain players and to make them think that something good may have happened. It is possible to suppress a decrease in interest by increasing the player's expectation for the game.

  Furthermore, in the first pattern and the second pattern, the inside and the outside of the frame of the center member 2500 are continuous by using the pattern associated with the decoration pattern 1150 formed on the base panel board 1110 in the game panel 1100. It is possible to show the player a decoration with a sense of unity, and the appearance in the game area 5a can be improved.

  In addition, since only the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine 1 can favorably view the light emission display of the first pattern and the second pattern by the light guide plate, from the other players who are separated from the front, This makes it hard to see the light emission display of the first pattern and the second pattern, and makes it difficult for other players to notice that the effect using the light guide plate is being performed, and the other players pay attention It is possible to prevent the player from playing and to play the game without hesitation to other players, and to enjoy the game and to suppress the decrease in interest.

A magnet 3312a having a small cylindrical shape is disposed and fixed in the vicinity of the rotation axis of the front stage decorative portion 3312 on the left side surface of the front stage decorative portion 3312 facing the right side surface of the base stage decorative portion 3311. Specifically, the magnet 3312a is in the vicinity of the rotation axis of the front stage decorative portion 3312 and on the left side of the front stage decorative portion 3312 so that the axial center is parallel to the rotation axis of the front stage decorative portion 3312 It is disposed in the inner space of the front step decorative portion 3312 so that the left surface thereof does not protrude toward the right side surface of the base step decorative portion 3311 from the left side surface of the front step decorative portion 3312. It is fixed. The magnet 3312a is disposed in the vicinity of the rotation axis of the front stage decoration portion 3312. However, the rotation axis of the front stage decoration portion 3312 resonates due to the rotation of the front stage decoration portion 3312 by the back upper left rotation drive motor. It does not occur.

  Since the magnet 3312a is fixed in the vicinity of the rotation axis of the front stage decoration portion 3312, the rotation of the output shaft (rotation axis) of the back upper left rotation drive motor is the front end via the above-mentioned back upper left rotation transmission mechanism. When it is transmitted to the rotation axis of the decorative portion 3312 and the preceding decorative portion 3312 starts to rotate, the locus becomes a circular path.

  Therefore, in the back upper left first stage decorative substrate 3311a, a Hall element, and a position corresponding to one position on this circular orbit (opposite to the magnetically charged surface of the magnet 3312a having a small cylindrical shape), and A back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311 ab is implemented which is configured from a peripheral circuit and can detect a change in magnetic pole. The back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311 ab is a circuit used to specify the rotational position of the previous stage decorative portion 3312 by setting the original position by detecting the magnetism of the magnet 3312 a fixed to the previous stage decorative portion 3312. And its detailed description will be described later. In addition, as an original position (standby position) of the rotational position of the front stage decorative portion 3312, for example, the apexes of the triangles of the base stage decorative portion 3311 and the front stage decorative portion 3312 coincide with each other to form one triangular pyramid. The state which is forming can be mentioned.

  In addition, in embodiment mentioned above, although the shape of the plain view of back upper left movable decorative body 3310 was shown as what was made an equilateral triangle, it does not limit to this, For example, a "quadrilateral", a "hexagon", It may be "an octagon", "fan", "star", etc.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the movable upper body is a movable body by using a small electronic component (magnetic sensor) such as the back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311 ab as a sensor for detecting the standby position (original position) of the previous stage decorative portion 3312 Adopted as a sensor to detect the stand-by position (original position) of a certain front decoration part 3312 and detect the magnetism of the magnet 3312 of the front decoration 3312 to specify the rotational position of the front decoration 3312 and then stand by position Although the (original position) is set, it can also be used as a sensor for detecting the approach of the magnet by the magnet goto. This is because a small electronic component (magnetic sensor) called the back left upper magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311 ab intermittently operates in the magnet 3312 of the previous stage decoration 3312 while the previous stage decoration 3312 is continuously rotated. The magnetism should be detected, but in the case where the magnetism is continuously detected, it is possible to detect an approach of an incorrect magnet as a magnet goto.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the various drive motors provided in the various effect units are stepping motors, but motors (servo motors) provided with rotation detectors such as encoders may be used. In this case, the rotation angle of the output shaft (rotational shaft) of the servomotor is detected by the rotation detector, and the drive pulse is controlled by feedback control. Thereby, the output shaft (rotational shaft) of the servomotor can be set to a predetermined rotational speed.

  In the embodiment described above, the game balls supplied from the ball tank 552, the ball guidance unit 570, and the payout device 580, which are ball supply means, are paid out to the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200. The game ball received in the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the first receiving opening 2006, and the large winning opening 2005 which are provided in the game area 5a divided into 5 and And a ball collection device having a collection port for collecting the game balls collected in the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a partitioned and formed on the game board 5, and the game collected by the ball collection device The ball launcher 5 is provided with a ball transport device for transporting the balls toward the ball launcher 540 and without supplying the game balls to the upper tray 201 of the tray unit 200. 0, forming a circulation path of gaming balls by the gaming area 5a divided into the gaming board 5, a ball collecting device, and a ball conveying device, and constituting a closed circulation of a predetermined number of gaming balls Can also be done.

As described above, the ground (GND) line of the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is electrically connected to the ground (GND) line of the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the ground (GND) line of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530. Because the metal shield plate 1540 is connected to the ground (GND) of the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, the ground (GND) of the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the liquid crystal output substrate It will be connected to the ground (GND) of 1530. Also, as described above, the ground (GND) lines of the peripheral control substrate 1510, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are electrically connected to the ground (GND) line of the power supply substrate 630 in the substrate unit 620 of the main frame 4. Since the metal shield plate 1540 is connected to the ground (GND) of the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, the metal shield plate 1540 is connected to the ground (GND) line of the power supply substrate 630.

  When peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is fixed on the back side of cover flat plate 1501a, the head of the metal nabe screw inserted and screwed into through holes 1520r2 and 1520r4 is the one of cover side walls 1501b to 1501e of cover body 1501. It is disposed on the inner side of the end face on the opening side (that is, not to protrude outside the end face on the opening side of cover side walls 1501b to 1501e), and on the back side of peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the back side of cover flat 1501a. The back surface of the peripheral control substrate 1510 to be fixed is arranged on the same plane.

  The cover flat plate 1501 a corresponds to four through holes 1530 r 1 to 1530 r 4 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 as viewed from the rear surface so that the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is disposed on the lower right side of the back surface of the cover 1501. At the positions, the pair of mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2 and the pair of mounting boss protrusions 1501an1 and 1501an2 are formed in a diagonal shape by being projected from the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a toward the opening side of the cover 1501 ing. Around the four through holes 1530r1 to 1530r4 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, a copper foil for soldering (so-called "land") 1530rf1 to 1530rf4 having a circular shape on the surface side of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, and a liquid crystal output A copper foil for soldering (so-called "land") 1530rb1 to 1530rb4 having a circular shape is formed on the back surface side of the substrate 1530, and the lands 1530rf1 to 1530rf4 and 1530rb1 to 15530rb4 are respectively liquid crystal output substrates A wiring pattern is formed on the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 so as to be electrically connected to the ground (GND) line 1530.

Furthermore, the shaft (screw portion) of the metal nabe screw is screwed into the mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a.

  As a result, the L-shaped mounting piece 1540b2 of the metal shield plate 1540 is electrically connected to the land 1530rf1 formed on the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 so that the metal shield plate 1540 is a liquid crystal output substrate. It will be connected to the ground (GND) of 1530. As described above, the ground (GND) line of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is electrically connected to the ground (GND) line of the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the ground (GND) line of the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520. Therefore, the shield plate 1540 made of metal is connected to the ground (GND) of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, whereby the ground (GND) of the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the peripheral data ROM substrate are obtained. It will be connected to the ground (GND) of 1520. Also, as described above, the ground (GND) lines of the peripheral control substrate 1510, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are electrically connected to the ground (GND) line of the power supply substrate 630 in the substrate unit 620 of the main frame 4. Since the metal shield plate 1540 is connected to the ground (GND) of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, the metal shield plate 1540 is connected to the ground (GND) line of the power supply substrate 630.

  When the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the head of the metal nabe screw inserted and screwed into the through holes 1530r1 and 1530r3 is the opening of the cover side wall 1501b to 1501e of the cover 1501.

The structure is completely different from the connectors CN1 to CN7 and the connectors CN8 to CN10 provided on the liquid crystal output substrate 1530. These connectors CN1 to CN10 are sockets, respectively, and by inserting and pushing the plug of the corresponding connector in the direction perpendicular to the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530, the socket and the plug are fitted. The sockets of the connectors CN1 to CN10 have a structure in which there is no amount of movement of the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 in the vertical direction when viewed from the front when fitting.

  The special connectors SCN1 and SCN2 provided in the peripheral control substrate 1510 are plugs, and the special connector SCN3 provided in the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the special connector SCN4 provided in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are sockets.

  By inserting and pushing the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided on the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 into the plug of the special connector SCN1 provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510, the socket and the plug are fitted. When the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided on the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is fitted, when the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 (peripheral control substrate 1510) is viewed from the front, the socket is in the front-rear direction (back and front of the pachinko machine 1) The floating mechanism is provided to be able to absorb an error in the front and back direction that occurs when pushing in by moving a predetermined distance range toward the direction. The socket of the special connector SCN 3 provided on peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 in a state where peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is attached and fixed at a predetermined position on the back surface of cover flat 1501 a of cover 1501. The front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN 3 is not in contact with the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501 a of the cover 1501 even if the peripheral control substrate 1510 is moved forward as viewed from the front A gap is formed between the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN 3 and the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501 a of the cover 1501.

  The socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 and pushed in, whereby the socket and the plug are fitted. When the special connector SCN 4 provided in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is fitted, when the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 (peripheral control substrate 1510) is viewed from the front, the socket is in the front-back direction (directions between the back and front of the pachinko machine 1) A floating mechanism is provided to be able to absorb an error in the front and back direction that occurs when pushing in by moving a predetermined distance range toward the. The socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is a liquid crystal output substrate 1530 (peripheral control in a state where the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is attached and fixed to a predetermined position on the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover 1501. Even if the substrate 1510 is moved forward as viewed from the front, the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN 4 does not contact the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501 a of the cover 1501 even if it moves the maximum A gap is formed between the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the connector SCN 4 and the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501 a of the cover 1501.

  Here, the reason why the special connector SCN3 is adopted for the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the special connector SCN4 is adopted for the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 will be briefly described. The peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is provided with a peripheral data ROM 1520a that can store various control information (peripheral data) that is to be controlled by the peripheral control substrate 1510. As various control information (peripheral data), background images for drawing various effect images on the effect display device 1600, character images, image data such as symbol images, various decoration boards provided in the door frame 3 and the game board 5 To the light emission data (lighting, gradation, blinking, extinguishing, etc.) of the various LEDs mounted in plural, sound data such as music, voice, warning sound, notification sound, door frame 3 and game board 5 The drive data etc. can be mentioned for carrying out drive control of the various movable performance bodies provided.

  The peripheral data ROM 1520a is a NAND flash (nonvolatile) memory, is cheaper than a NOR flash (nonvolatile) memory, has a large capacity, and can write various data at high speed. The peripheral data ROM 1520a has a low operating voltage, can reduce power consumption, and can realize a high transfer rate by communication conforming to the SATA standard.

  As described above, adopting a NAND flash (nonvolatile) memory as the peripheral data ROM 1520a realizes cost reduction and contributes to suppression of power consumption, and reading of various data stored at a high transfer rate. it can. However, although the peripheral data ROM 1520a can suppress power consumption due to its low operating voltage, it is susceptible to noise due to its low operating voltage. In addition, it is necessary to transmit various data stored in peripheral data ROM 1520 a from peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 to peripheral control substrate 1510 accurately and surely. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the peripheral control substrate 1510 are electrically connected to each other through the wiring (harness) is not employed, and the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 are not connected. By adopting a configuration in which the control substrate 1510 is electrically connected to the inter-substrate connector, the influence of noise intruding into the inter-substrate transmission path is reduced.

  The mounting procedure of various substrates in the internal space of cover 1501 will be described later, but peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 inserts the socket of special connector SCN3 provided in itself into the plug of special connector SCN1 provided in peripheral control substrate 1510. Since it is necessary to fix the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 together with the peripheral control substrate 1510 on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a after being pressed in, the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism is adopted. Thus, a plurality of connection terminals are formed in the plug and the socket by absorbing an error in the front-rear direction which occurs when the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control substrate 1510. To prevent damage to the surroundings The transmission path between the substrate and the control substrate 1510 and the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 can be can be reliably formed.

  Further, as described above, since the cover 1501 is made of non-conductive resin, the cover flat 1501 a of the cover 1501 may be warped after molding although it is within the design dimension distance tolerance. Even in such a case, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is fixed together with the peripheral control substrate 1510 on the back surface side of the curved cover plate 1501a by adopting the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the floating mechanism described above. By absorbing the errors in the front and back direction that occur during operation, damage to the plurality of connection terminals formed in the plug and the socket is prevented, and a transmission path between the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is obtained. It can be formed reliably.

  The liquid crystal output substrate 1530 outputs the rendering data of the image to be rendered on the effect display device 1600 transmitted from the peripheral control substrate 1510 from the connector CN10, thereby advancing the effect on the effect display device 1600 (for example, for the player An image telling that a big hit gaming state occurs that is advantageous compared to the normal state, an image telling that a big hit gaming state does not occur, a big hit gaming state occurs compared to the normal state although a big hit gaming state does not occur It is an important substrate which draws an image etc. which conveys that it is approaching as an image. Therefore, drawing data of an image drawn on the effect display device 1600 from the peripheral control substrate 1510 needs to be transmitted to the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 accurately and surely. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 and the peripheral control substrate are not electrically connected via the wiring (harness) between the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 and the peripheral control substrate 1510. By adopting a configuration in which the connector 1510 is electrically connected to the inter-substrate connector, the influence of noise entering the inter-substrate transmission path is reduced.

  The mounting procedure of various substrates in the inner space of the cover 1501 will be described later, but the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 inserts the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided in itself into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided in the peripheral control substrate 1510 Since it is necessary to fix peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and liquid crystal output substrate 1530 together with peripheral control substrate 1510 on the back side of cover flat plate 1501a after pressing, the socket of special connector SCN4 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism is adopted. Accordingly, by absorbing an error in the front-rear direction which occurs when the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control substrate 1510, a plurality of connection terminals are formed in the plug and the socket. Peripheral control board to prevent damage The transmission path between the substrate 510 and the liquid crystal driving substrate 1530 can be can be reliably formed.

  Further, as described above, since the cover 1501 is made of non-conductive resin, the cover flat 1501 a of the cover 1501 may be warped after molding although it is within the design dimension distance tolerance. Even in such a case, by adopting the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided with the above-described floating mechanism, the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is fixed to the back side of the warped cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control substrate 1510. By absorbing the errors in the front and back direction that occur in the process, damage to the multiple connection terminals formed in the plug and the socket can be prevented, and the transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 can be assured. It can be formed.

  When peripheral control board 1510, peripheral data ROM board 1520, and liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed on the back side of cover plate 1501a, as described above, the back of peripheral control board 1510 and peripheral data ROM board 1520 are fixed. Since the back surface and the back surface of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are arranged on the same plane, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are arranged on the surface of the peripheral control substrate 1510. As compared to the case of three-dimensional arrangement, the distance dimension in the front-rear direction (that is, the depth direction) of the peripheral control unit 1500 can be reduced, so, for example, a large effect unit (operating a movable effect body on the game board 5) Drive source and drive mechanism, and various sensors for detecting the home position and working position) It can contribute to ensuring the depth direction of the distance dimension of fit.

Thus, through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in peripheral control substrate 1510 are arranged corresponding to mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface of cover flat plate 1501a, and are formed on peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 The holes 1520r2 and 1520r4 correspond to the mounting boss holes 1501ah1 and 1501ah2 formed on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes 1530r1 and 1530r3 formed on the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are on the back side of the cover flat 1501a. The mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2 formed in the above are arranged corresponding to each other.

  Subsequently, a metal nabe screw (not shown) is inserted into through holes 1520r2 and 1520r4 formed in peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and screwed toward attachment boss holes 1501ah1 and 1501ah2 formed on the back side of cover flat plate 1501a.

The liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by screwing toward the mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2. As a result, the L-shaped mounting piece 1540b1 of the metal shield plate 1540 is held by the cover 1501 and the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, and the L-shaped mounting piece 1540b2 of the metal shield plate 1540 is It will be in the state clamped by the cover body 1501 and the liquid-crystal output board | substrate 1530.

If necessary, the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control substrate 1510 are finely adjusted and arranged so as to match the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes are formed. The peripheral control substrate 1510 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by inserting a metal nabe screw (not shown) into the holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 and screwing it toward the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4. As a result, the L-shaped attachment pieces 1540c1 and 1540c2 of the metal shield plate 1540 are held by the cover 1501 and the peripheral control board 1510.

The mechanical switch of the formula is used. This is because the game ball B frequently enters the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 and frequently passes through the gate portion 2003, so the first starting opening sensor 3002 and the second starting opening sensor 2402 The detection of the game ball B by the gate sensor 2401 also frequently occurs.

Therefore, also for the special winning opening sensor 2403, a proximity switch with high durability and long life is used. Further, since the game balls B fired in the game area 5a are collected in large quantities by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a partitioned in the game board 5, the detection of the game ball B by the out port left sensor 1008a The detection of the game ball B by the out-port right sensor 1008 b also frequently occurs. Therefore, a proximity switch with high durability and a long life is used also for the out-port left sensor 1008 a and the out-port right sensor 1008 b. On the other hand, detection by the general winning opening sensor 3001 and the first receiving sensor 2406 does not frequently occur in the general winning opening 2001 and the first receiving sensor 2406 in which the gaming ball B does not enter frequently. Therefore, a mechanical switch whose life is shorter than that of the proximity switch is used for the general winning opening sensor 3001 and the first receiving sensor 2406. In addition, regardless of the fact that the game ball B does not frequently enter the general winning opening 2001 or the first receiving sensor 2406, a proximity switch with high durability and a long life may be used.

The earth terminal ECN3 is illustrated as a ball tank ground in the ball tank 552 shown in FIG. 102 (b) (specifically, on the outside of the side wall of the ball tank 552 near the substrate accommodation portion 551aa). The ball tank ground wire is attached with one end by a metal screw that does not The other end of the ground wire is electrically connected, and the earth terminal ECN 4 is a metal body frame reinforcing frame 530 in the body frame base unit 500 of the body frame 4 shown in FIG. 97 as the body frame metal ground.

The ground terminal ECN5 is electrically connected to the ground connection terminal provided on the power supply substrate 630 of the substrate unit 620 of the main body frame 4 shown in FIG. 114 as a power supply ground via the power supply ground wire.

  As shown in FIG. 152 (c), the circuit of the frame earth substrate 559 is such that the earth terminal ECN3 as a ball tank earth is electrically connected to one end of the resistor ER1, and the other end of the resistor ER1 is a power ground. The ground terminal ECN5, the ground terminal ECN2 as the island equipment ground, and the ground terminal ECN1 as the interface ground are electrically connected, and the ground terminal ECN4 as the body frame metal ground is electrically connected to one end of the resistor ER2. The other end of the resistor ER2 is electrically connected to a ground terminal ECN5 as a power ground, a ground terminal ECN2 as an island facility ground, and a ground terminal ECN1 as an interface ground. That is, the other end of the resistor ER1 and the other end of the resistor ER2 are electrically connected. In the present embodiment, 510 ohms (Ω) and 2 watts (W) are employed as the resistors ER1 and ER2.

  Electromagnetic wave noise flowing to the earth terminal ECN1 as interface ground is led to the earth ground of the island equipment of the game hall via the earth terminal ECN2 as the island equipment earth and the island equipment earth wire, and removed as a ball tank earth The electromagnetic wave noise flowing to the earth terminal ECN3 is led to the earth ground of the island equipment of the game hall and removed through the earth terminal ECN2 as the island equipment earth and the island equipment earth wire, and the earth terminal ECN4 as the body frame metal earth The electromagnetic wave noise flowing to the ground is removed to the earth ground of the island equipment of the game hall via the earth terminal ECN2 as the island equipment earth and the island equipment earth wire, and the electromagnetic wave noise flowing to the earth terminal ECN5 as the power earth is , Via the earth terminal ECN2 as the island equipment ground, the island equipment earth wire It is guided to the earth ground of the island capital of the gaming hall is adapted to be removed.

  As shown in FIG. 98, a ball tank 552, a dispensing unit 560, and the like are attached to the dispensing base unit 550 in the main body frame 4. The ball tank 552 is supplied with the game ball B from the island facility of the game hall, and the game ball B is supplied from the ball tank 552 to the payout unit 560. The game balls B are polished at the island facility of the game hall, rub against each other in the circulation between the island facility and the pachinko machine 1, and are charged and electrostatically discharged to release electromagnetic wave noise. For this reason, static electricity is likely to be accumulated in the area where the ball tank 552 capable of retaining the game ball B and the payout unit 560 are attached and in the periphery thereof.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the frame ground substrate 559 is disposed in the vicinity of the ball tank 552 and the dispensing unit 560 where static electricity tends to collect, and as a result of the static electricity easily accumulating, the ball tank 552 and the payout are strongly affected by electromagnetic noise. In the frame ground board 559, a ground terminal ECN3 as a ball tank ground, and a main frame metal, as opposed to the metal main frame reinforcing frame 530 in the main frame base unit 500 of the main body frame 4 in the vicinity of the unit 560. Electromagnetic wave noise is gradually flowed and attenuated through the resistors ER1 and ER2 as the earth terminal ECN4 as the ground to suppress instantaneous discharge of high voltage, and the island equipment from the earth terminal ECN2 as the island equipment earth It can be led to the earth ground of the island equipment of the game hall through the earth wire That. In other words, the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered from the ball tank 552 and the dispensing unit 560 where static electricity is easily accumulated is from the frame ground substrate 559 via the ball tank 552 and the metal body frame reinforcing frame 530 as a frame ground of a frame ground. By guiding to the earth ground of the island facility of the game hall, the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered from the ball tank 552 and the payout unit 560 can be flowed to the earth ground of the island facility of the game hall and removed.

  In the present embodiment, among the ground terminals ECN1 to ECN5, the ground terminal ECN3 as the ball tank ground and the ground terminal ECN4 as the main frame metal ground are strongly affected by the electromagnetic wave noise as described above. As it corresponds to (the surroundings), a large-sized ground terminal is adopted, and the ground terminal ECN2 as the island facility ground is, as described above, the electromagnetic wave noise flowing into the frame ground board 559 into the game hall A large-sized earth terminal is adopted because it leads to the earth ground of the island equipment and removes it. Ground terminals ECN2 to ECN4 adopting this large-sized ground terminal are square with a cross-sectional shape of one side of 1.14 mm, rated current: 7A (when using AC · DC, AWG # 18), rated voltage: It has a general specification of 250 V (AC / DC) and applicable wire range: AWG # 22 to # 18, and its height is 13.4 mm as shown in FIG. 152 (a) (earth terminals ECN2 to When the housing corresponding to ECN 4 is inserted, the mounting height becomes 18.6 mm).

  On the other hand, the electromagnetic wave noise flowing into the ground terminal ECN1 as the interface ground and the ground terminal ECN5 as the power ground is smaller than the above-described ground terminals ECN2 to ECN4 and the current is smaller. For the earth terminals ECN1 and ECN5, small earth terminals are adopted. Earth terminals ECN1 and ECN5 adopting this small ground terminal are square with a cross-sectional shape of 0.64 mm on each side, rated current: 3 A (when using AC · DC, AWG # 22), rated voltage: It has a general specification of 250 V (AC / DC) and applicable wire range: AWG # 30 to # 22, and its height is 7 mm as shown in FIG. 152 (a) (ground terminals ECN1 and ECN5 The mounting height is 9.8 mm when the corresponding housing is inserted).

  In the present embodiment, respective ground wires (island equipment ground wire, ball tank ground wire, body frame ground wire) electrically connected to the ground terminals ECN2 to ECN4 are electrically connected to the ground terminals ECN1 and ECN5. Since the current due to electromagnetic wave noise is large compared to the respective ground wires (interface ground wire, power ground wire), the respective ground wires (island equipment ground wire, ball tank) electrically connected to the ground terminals ECN2 to ECN4 The thickness of the ground wire and the body frame ground wire is thicker than the thickness of each of the ground wires (interface ground wire and power ground wire) electrically connected to the ground terminals ECN1 and ECN5. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 152 (a), 1.6 mm is employed as the thickness of the frame ground substrate 559.

  As described above, since the electromagnetic wave noise generated in various places can be collected on the frame earth substrate 559 temporarily and then guided from the frame earth substrate 559 to the earth ground of the island facility of the game hall and removed, the frame The ground substrate 559 has a function of exerting a static elimination function.

  In addition, it is configured so that electromagnetic noises generated at various places can be collected on the frame ground substrate 559 temporarily and led from the frame ground substrate 559 to the ground of the island facility of the game hall and removed. The ground wire (wiring) from the ball tank 552 arranged on the upper side is routed around the power supply substrate 630 arranged on the lower side of the pachinko machine 1 to temporarily collect electromagnetic noises on the power As compared with the configuration in which the lead is removed to the earth ground, the wiring of the earth wire (wiring) is extremely easy.

  Further, since the frame ground substrate 559 can be disposed in the substrate accommodation portion 551aa of the payout base 551, the ground terminal ECN2 as the island facility ground of the frame ground substrate 559 and the island facility of the game hall Various control boards (for example, the main control board 1310 X of the main control unit 1300 which controls the progress of the game, etc.) provided on the game board 5 with island facility earth wires (wirings) electrically connecting the provided ground connection terminals. Peripheral control board 1510 which can control the progress of the peripheral control board, peripheral data ROM board 1520 electrically connected to peripheral control board 1510, liquid crystal output board 1530, and the like). It is possible to eliminate the adverse effect on electronic parts (including connectors) provided in

  Also, by arranging the frame ground substrate 559 near the ball tank 552 and the dispensing unit 560 where static electricity is easily accumulated, the body tank 4 is in the vicinity of the ball tank 552 and the dispensing unit 560 strongly affected by electromagnetic noise. In the frame ground board 559, the ground terminal ECN3 as a ball tank ground and the ground terminal ECN4 as a main body frame metal ground in the frame ground board 559, respectively. Reduce the length of the ground wire (ball tank ground wire, main frame metal ground wire) to be connected electrically by guiding the electromagnetic wave noise from the frame ground board 559 to the earth ground of the island facility of the game hall be able to.

  Also, by arranging the frame ground board 559 near the ball tank 552 and the dispensing unit 560 where static electricity is easily accumulated, the ball tank 552 where static electricity is easily accumulated and the frame ground board 559 which exerts a diselectrifying action are electrically connected The length of the ball tank ground wire (wiring) is the length of the main frame metal ground wire (wiring) for electrically connecting the metal main frame reinforcing frame 530 and the frame ground substrate 559 which exerts the charge removing function, and the power source An interface electrically connecting a length of a power supply ground wire (wiring) electrically connecting the substrate 630 and the frame ground substrate 559 which exerts a static elimination function, and an interface electrically connecting the interface substrate 635 and a frame ground substrate 559 It can be configured to be shortest as compared with the length of the ground wire (wiring).

  Also, by arranging the frame ground substrate 559 near the ball tank 552 and the dispensing unit 560 where static electricity is easily accumulated, the body tank 4 is in the vicinity of the ball tank 552 and the dispensing unit 560 strongly affected by electromagnetic noise. In the frame ground board 559, the ground terminal ECN3 as the ball tank ground and the ground terminal ECN4 as the main body frame metal ground are used for the metal frame main frame reinforcing frame 530 in the main body frame base unit 500. Although a large current flows, it is reduced by the resistors ER1 and ER2 of the frame ground substrate 559, and the operation of the power supply substrate 630 is not affected, and the ground terminal ECN2 as an island facility ground of the frame ground substrate 559 Lead to the earth ground of the island facility of the game hall through the earth wire and remove it It is possible.

  Incidentally, conventionally, in order to easily supply 24 V AC power of the CR unit, each ground is once concentrated on the power supply board arranged on the CR unit side at the bottom of the main frame, and connected to the earth ground of the island facility via the power supply board. Has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-120593 (paragraph [0335], FIG. 84, FIG. 85)). Since the power supply substrate is generally heavy, it is often disposed below in the gaming machine. Therefore, in order to collect the ground on the power supply substrate, it is necessary to route the ground wire from the ball tank or the ball device on the upper side of the gaming machine to the lower power supply substrate. By routing the earth wire in this manner, electromagnetic noise may be transmitted to various control boards existing along the way and have an unexpected effect. In addition, since the ground wire is concentrated on the power supply board, if any problem occurs in the power supply board, the earth may be affected, or the current may flow to the ground line, which may affect the operation of the power supply board. there were. In addition, when the ground taking place of the island facility is located above the gaming machine, etc., it may be complicated because it is necessary to extend and connect the earth wires collected by the power supply board from the lower side to the upper side again.

[9. Conductor floated to the earth]
Next, members provided on the game board as treatment of a conductor floating on the ground will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 153 is a schematic view of the handling of the conductor floating on the ground provided to various effect units provided on the game board.

  In the vicinity of the game board 5, as described above, the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are disposed above the game board 5, and the payout unit 560 is disposed to the side of the game board 5. The game balls rub against each other in the traveling ball path, and are charged and electrostatically discharged to become a noise source. For this reason, in the vicinity of the game board 5 where the ball path is formed, there is an environment affected by the electromagnetic wave noise due to the electrostatic discharge from the game ball. The pachinko machines 1 are arranged in a row opposite to the island facilities of the game hall. Thus, the surroundings of the game board 5 are in an environment which is extremely susceptible to electromagnetic noise.

  On the game board 5, various effect units are provided in the back unit 3000. The various rendering units include structures used to improve rigidity, mechanical parts of drive mechanisms, electrical parts (including the housing of electric parts), conductive plating applied to decorative structures, and A plurality of conductors such as a structure (including a decorative structure) molded by a conductive resin are used. In addition, the game board 5 is provided with various substrates, and these various substrates and various effect units are arranged close to each other. In addition, these conductors affect the electric circuit in the case of electrostatic discharge depending on the size of their surface area. In the case where the surface area of the conductor is small, the amount of charge storage is small and the influence of the electrostatic discharge on the electric circuit can be ignored, and it is not necessary to remove the electromagnetic wave noise due to the electrostatic discharge. On the other hand, if the surface area of the conductor is large, the amount of accumulated charge is large and the influence on the electric circuit by electrostatic discharge can not be ignored, and it is necessary to safely remove the electromagnetic wave noise by electrostatic discharge. .

  When these conductors float above the ground, the game board 5 is in an environment very susceptible to the influence of the above-mentioned electromagnetic wave noise, and therefore, electrostatic induction occurs in the conductor under the influence of the electromagnetic wave noise. Then, when electrostatic discharge is caused from the conductor floating on the ground, various substrates provided on the game board 5 may be damaged.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, among the plurality of conductors in the various rendering units provided in the back unit 3000 of the game board 5, at least electrostatic discharge will affect various boards provided in the game board 5, causing malfunction. We adopted a configuration that does not float on the ground for those that may or may be damaged.

As a large current flows toward it (the drain terminal and the source terminal of FET Q5 become an overcurrent), the FET Q5 is destroyed, and the short mode state in which the drain terminal and the source terminal of FET Q5 conduct is maintained. Be done. The FET Q5 is the same as the package type of the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10 (TO-220F described above), but the FET Q1 is Unlike Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 and Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9 and D10, they are disposed at positions not in contact with the radiation fins HS1 and HS2. Specifically, the FET Q5 is disposed between the radiation fins HS1 and HS2 and is not fixed at all to the radiation fins HS1 and HS2 (see FIGS. 155 and 156). This is intended to absorb and cool the heat through the radiation fins HS1 and HS2 so that the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9 and D10 are not broken by heat generation. In contrast to this, FET Q5 is short-circuited by heat generation when FET Q5 operates and a large current flows from the drain terminal to the source terminal of FET Q5 (the drain and source terminals of FET Q5 become an overcurrent) It is to contribute to being destroyed in time.

  That is, the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the AC 24V power outlet for the gaming machine of the island equipment of the game hall, and erroneously into the AC 100V power outlet for the commercial power source voltage higher than AC 24V for the gaming machine. When inserted, power supply generation circuit 630 f sets the value of the power supply voltage to a predetermined value based on the power supply voltage of which common mode noise is reduced by choke coil L 1 input to the AC-DET terminal. In this embodiment, when the voltage reaches approximately 50 V.), the gate signal for the power supply breakdown circuit is output to the power supply breakdown circuit 630g to control the FET Q5 to be self-destructed. As a result, the short mode state in which the drain terminal and the source terminal of FET Q5 are conducted is maintained, and the source terminal of FET Q5 is electrically connected to the CGND terminal of the power generation circuit 630f. When the ON operation is performed, the current passing through the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 is supplied with the noise reduction circuit 630b, the rectification circuit 630c, and the FET Q5 in the short mode in the power supply destruction circuit 630g. By rapidly flowing toward the CGND terminal, a large current flows through the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 and one or both of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 are melted, only the power supply substrate 630 is broken, and the plug of the power cord is commercial Power supply voltage A Even inserted incorrectly into a power outlet of 100 V, so that the can be reliably prevented that the pachinko machine 1 within each substrate except the power substrate 630 is broken.

  In addition, the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the AC 24V power outlet that is the power supply voltage for the gaming machines on the island facilities of the game hall, and mistakenly into the AC 100V power outlet that is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC 24V that is the power supply voltage for gaming machines. When it is inserted and the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g is destroyed, replace the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 with ones that are not fused, and connect the plug of the power cord to AC24V that is the power supply voltage of the gaming machine island facility Even if it is plugged into the power supply outlet, the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g is already broken and the short mode is maintained, so the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, the power supply switch 630a, the noise reduction circuit 630b, and the rectifier circuit 630c , And in the power destruction circuit 630g When a large current flows toward the CGND terminal of the power supply generation circuit 630f through the FET Q5 in the short mode, a large current flows in the replaced fuse FUSE1 and FUSE2, and one of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 or Both will melt again. In other words, if you do not replace the power supply substrate 630 where the FETQ5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g is already destroyed with a normal power supply substrate 630 where the FETQ5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g is not broken, the plug of the power cord is the island facility of the game hall Even if it is plugged into the AC 24V power supply outlet, which is the power supply voltage for gaming machines, it is impossible to start playing a game.

[10-1-7. Backup power circuit]
The backup power supply circuit 630h includes a Schottky barrier diode D20 and a capacitor BC0. The Schottky barrier diode D20 has a low forward voltage drop and a high switching speed.

The voltage is supplied to the capacitor BC0 via the capacitor to charge the capacitor BC0, and is also supplied to the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a provided on the main control board 1310X as the main VBB to hold various information stored in the main control built-in RAM Then, the information is supplied to the payout control internal RAM of the payout control MPU 633aa provided in the payout control portion 633a of the payout control board 633 as the payout VBB and holds various information stored in the payout control internal RAM.

  On the other hand, the pachinko machine 1 is powered off (including the case where the pachinko machines installed in the game hall are shut off at the same time by turning off the breaker of the game hall), a power failure or a momentary stoppage occurs. If this happens, +5 V DC from the power supply line (that is, the +5 V power supply line) supplied from the +5 V terminal of the power supply generation circuit 630 f is not supplied to the capacitor BC0. In response to this, the capacitor BC0 starts discharging. While this discharge is prevented from being supplied to the power supply line (that is, the +5 V power supply line) supplied from the +5 V terminal of the power supply generation circuit 630f by the Schottky barrier diode D20, the discharge is provided in the main control board 1310X as the main VBB.

10-2. Method of identifying electronic components having the same shape]
Next, a method of identifying an electronic component having the same shape and mounted on the power supply substrate 630 will be described. As described above, the electronic components having the same shape mounted on the power supply substrate 630 include the FETs Q1 and Q2 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c and the FETs Q3 and Q4 and the Schottky of the power factor improvement circuit 630d. The package types in the barrier diodes D9 and D10 and the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g are the same type (TO-220F), and the shapes of the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2 and FUSE3 are also the same shape (diameter: 5 mm, length Length: 20 mm transparent glass tube (support terminals at both ends are made of metal)).

  Although FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10 are completely different types of electronic components, FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9 and D10 are electronic components that can not be destroyed, and FET Q5 is the only electronic component that can be destroyed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as the electronic components having the same shape mounted on the power supply substrate 630, electrons which are the only one of the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10 are broken. In order to facilitate identification of the components, silk printing printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 is adopted which has features different from those of the other.

  Specifically, for FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10, which are electronic components not to be destroyed, a white outline is shown as shown in FIG. Lines and thick white lines indicating the direction in which the electronic components are arranged, as silk printing, for Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10, for silk printing TSL K 1 to 4 and FETs Q1, Q 2, Q 3 and Q 4 The TSLKs 5 to 8 are printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630. White thick lines are fixed to the radiation fins HS1 and HS2. In FIG. 155, FETs Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 and Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9 and D10 need to be arranged adjacent to each other in order to fix them to radiation fins HS1 and HS2. HS2 is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 so as to be in an arrangement in which the silk printing of the white outline and the white thick line part of the silk printing TSLK1 to 8 are arranged.

  On the other hand, for FET Q5, which is the only electronic component to be destroyed, as shown in FIG. 157 (b), white outlines and white hatched lines arranged at equal intervals within the outlines are shown. Silk printing TSLK9 is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 as silk printing, and ad1 and a thick white line indicating the direction in which the electronic component is arranged. That is, the white diagonal line ad1 is represented as a characteristic pattern.

  Thus, even if the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, and D10 have the same shape, silk printing is performed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630. Of the TSLKs 1 to 9, by visually observing the white hatched ad1 represented as a characteristic pattern, an electronic component of the different types of electronic components having the same shape is focused on compared with other electronic components. It is possible to identify whether it is an electronic component to be. Thus, it is possible to very easily identify which electronic component is the only one to be destroyed among different types of electronic components having the same shape.

  In addition, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of the pachinko machine 1 instructs FETQ 5 to a clerk in the game hall by telephone, a silk-printed TSLK 9 having a white hatched ad 1 represented as a characteristic pattern By instructing to search for a person in charge at the game hall, the person in charge at the game hall can grasp the position of the FET Q 5 properly, so it is easy to communicate between the person in charge at the service center and the person in charge at the game hall. Become.

  Thereby, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of the pachinko machine 1 instructs FETQ 5 by telephone to the clerk of the game hall or the like, the clerk of the game hall or the like is as instructed by the person in charge of the service center. Of the plurality of electronic components mounted on the power supply substrate 630, the target FET Q5 can be identified. Therefore, among the plurality of electronic components, the FET Q5 to be noted can be identified from the other electronic components FETQ1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10.

  The FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10, as described above, are completely different electronic parts, while the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, FUSE3 are identical. Although it is a kind of electronic component, AC100V is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC24V which is a power supply voltage for game machines, because the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the AC24V power supply outlet which is a power supply voltage for game machines in the game hall If it is accidentally inserted into the power supply outlet, as described above, the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g is self-destructed to maintain the short mode, and a large current flows through the fuse FUSE1 and FUSE2 to cause one or both of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 Will melt. That is, as a trace that the plug of the power cord is mistakenly inserted into the AC 100 V power outlet, which is a commercial power supply voltage, one or both of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 are destroyed after the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2 and FUSE3. There is. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the electronic component having the same shape mounted on the power supply substrate 630 is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 so that the electronic component to be destroyed among the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2 and FUSE3 can be easily identified. The adopted silk printing has features different from other ones.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 158 (a), the fuse FUSE3, which is an electronic component that is not broken even if the plug of the power cord is accidentally inserted into the AC 100 V power outlet that is a commercial power supply voltage, is white. The silk-screened FSLK 1 is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 as silk-screened outlines.

  On the other hand, fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, which are electronic components that are accidentally destroyed as a trace that the plug of the power supply cord is accidentally plugged into the AC 100 V power outlet, which is a commercial power supply voltage, are shown in FIG. As described above, the silk-printed FSLKs 2 and 3 are printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 as silk printing, with the white outline and the area ad2 in which the inside of the outline is solidly coated in white. That is, the area ad2 solidly painted in white is represented as a characteristic pattern. Although both ends of the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2 and FUSE3 are soldered to the power supply substrate 630 with a support bracket (not shown) respectively, they are solidly painted in white in the region between the inside of the white outline and the periphery of the support The area ad2 can be viewed visually, and the area ad2 which is the inside area of the white outline and which is transparent to the transparent glass tube excluding the ends of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 and which is solidly coated in white is transparent It is possible to be reliably observed through a transparent glass tube.

  Thus, even if the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3 are electronic components having the same shape, the white color represented as a characteristic pattern among the silk-printed FSLKs 1 to 3 printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 By visually observing the solidly coated area ad2, among electronic components of the same type having the same shape, it is possible to identify which electronic component is an electronic component to be watched in comparison with other electronic components It has become. As a result, it is extremely easy to determine which electronic component of the same type of electronic components having the same shape is an electronic component showing a trace that the plug of the power cord is mistakenly inserted into the AC 100 V power outlet which is the commercial power supply voltage. Can be identified.

  In addition, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of the pachinko machine 1 instructs the staff of the game hall clerk or the like to use the fuse FUSE 1 or FUSE 2, the area painted solid white is displayed as a characteristic pattern By instructing to search silk printing FSLK 2 and 3 having ad 2, it is possible for a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like to accurately grasp the positions of fuses FUSE 1 and FUSE 2. It becomes easy to communicate with the clerks and other staff.

  Thus, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of pachinko machine 1 instructs Hughes FUSE 1 and FUSE 2 by phone to the staff of the staff in the game hall, the staff of the staff in the game hall is Among the plurality of electronic components mounted on the power supply substrate 630, it is possible to specify the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 to be noted, as instructed by the above. Therefore, the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 to be noticed among the plurality of electronic components can be identified from the fuse FUSE3 which is another electronic component.

10-3. Confirmation of melting of fuse]
Next, confirmation of melting of the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2 and FUSE3 of the same type and mounted on the power supply substrate 630 will be described. As described above, the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2 and FUSE3 are transparent glass tubes (support terminals of both ends are made of metal), and when melted, the fuse wires accommodated in the transparent glass tube are disconnected and the transparent glass tube is disconnected Soot adheres to the inside of Among the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2 and FUSE3, as described above, the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 are electronic components capable of showing a trace that the plug of the power cord is mistakenly inserted into the AC 100 V power outlet which is a commercial power supply voltage. If the plug of the power cord is accidentally plugged into a 100 V AC power outlet that is a commercial power supply voltage, it will melt. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the silk-printed FSLKs 2 and 3 described above are printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 as silk printing on the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 so that the fused fuse lines can be easily confirmed. As described above, the silk-printed FSLKs 2 and 3 correspond to the transparent glass tubes except for the fuse FUSE 1 and FUSE 2 except that the white solid area ad 2 is expressed as a characteristic pattern. By visually observing the area ad2 solidly coated in white through a transparent glass tube, it is possible to easily confirm the presence or absence of a break in the fuse line accommodated in the transparent glass tube of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2.

  As a result, a staff of a game hall clerk or a worker who installs the pachinko machine 1 (replaces the game board 5) operates the plug of the power cord for supplying the pachinko machine 1 with the power supply voltage. When power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1 by turning on the power switch 630a of the power supply substrate 630 by plugging in the AC 100 V power outlet, which is not a commercial power supply voltage, accidentally, the fuse FUSE1, FUSE2 Among them, the fuse wire stored in one or both of the transparent glass tubes is broken, and the soot adheres to the inside of the transparent glass tube, so a staff member such as a game clerk or a worker etc. Even if the plug is plugged into a power outlet, the power can not be turned on, so it may not be the initial failure. " Wiring errors), it is so that it can not (can not excuse) to cheat.

  On the other hand, as described above, silk printing FSLK1 is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 as silk printing for the fuse FUSE3. In the present embodiment, green is employed as the resist of the power supply substrate 630. Further, in the present embodiment, a green resist is solidly coated on the area of the mounting surface of the power supply substrate 630 corresponding to the silk-printed FSLK1 for the fuse FUSE3. The wiring pattern is not laid out at all in the area of the solid-painted green resist corresponding to the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE3 (that is, the solid-painted green resist corresponding to the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE3) Since the wiring pattern is formed so as to avoid the area of (1), no wiring pattern is formed at all in this area). This is a fuse wire accommodated in the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE 3 by visually observing the area of the solid green resist corresponding to the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE 3 through the transparent glass tube The visibility of the state is improved, and the presence or absence of disconnection of the fuse line can be confirmed.

  Also, in the area of the solid green resist corresponding to the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE3, the fuse FUSE3 is transparent as in the case where the wiring pattern is not laid out even when all the wiring patterns are laid out. The visibility of the fuse wire housed in the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE 3 by visually observing the area of the solid green resist corresponding to the transparent glass tube through the transparent glass tube Thus, it is possible to easily check the presence or absence of the disconnection of the fuse line.

  As described above, the power supply line connector DCN2 of the power supply board 630 is provided via the interface board power supply line (not shown), the interface board 635 of the board unit 620 shown in FIG. 115, and the CR unit power supply line (not shown). It is electrically connected to a CR unit (not shown) installed outside the pachinko machine 1 and supplies AC 24 VA and AC 24 V to the CR unit (not shown). In other words, in addition to the function as means for relaying various signals, the interface board 635 also has a function as means for supplying power to the CR unit (not shown). The interface substrate 635 is a fuse FUSE (in the present embodiment, a transparent glass tube having a diameter of 5 mm and a length of 20 mm (the support terminals at both ends are made of metal), Class B melting specified by the Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Act) The silkscreen shown in FIG. 158 (a) for the fuse FUSE3 of the power supply substrate 630 described above is printed on its mounting surface. A green resist is solidly coated on the area of the mounting surface of the interface substrate 635 corresponding to silk printing for the fuse FUSE (not shown). The wiring pattern is not laid out at all in the area of the solid glass coated with the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE not shown (that is, the solid glass corresponding to the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE not shown) No wiring pattern is formed at all in this area because the wiring pattern is formed so as to avoid the green resist area). This is accommodated in the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE by visually observing the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE not shown and the area of the solid green resist corresponding to the transparent glass tube. By improving the visibility of the state of the fuse line, it is possible to confirm the presence or absence of a break in the fuse line. The fuse FUSE (not shown) provided on the interface substrate 635 can be configured to be provided on one of AC 24 VA and AC 24 V supplied from the power supply line connector DCN 2 of the power supply substrate 630, and configured to be provided on both of them. It can also be done.

  Also, in the area of the solid green resist corresponding to the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE not shown, it is not shown as in the case where the wiring pattern is not laid out even if all the wiring patterns are laid out. The fuse FUSE transparent glass tube and the corresponding solid-painted green resist area are visually observed through the transparent glass tube to show the state of the fuse wire accommodated in the fuse FUSE transparent glass tube By improving the visibility, it is possible to easily check the presence or absence of a break in the fuse line.

10-4. Capacitor capacity]
Next, the capacitance of the capacitor BC0 will be described. As described above, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on or a power failure or momentary interruption occurs to return the power to the capacitor BC0, the power supply line supplied from the +5 V terminal of the power generation circuit 630f (that is, +5 V power supply) The pachinko machine 1 is cut off while the pachinko machine 1 is powered off (a break in the game hall) while charging can be performed by supplying +5 V DC to the capacitor BC0 via the Schottky barrier diode D20. Power off of pachinko machines installed in the game hall at the same time by performing the OFF operation)), when a power failure or momentary stoppage occurs, the power supplied from the +5 V terminal of the power generation circuit 630 f Discharge in response to the fact that +5 V DC by the line (that is, the +5 V power supply line) is not supplied to the capacitor BC0. To start.

  The pachinko machine 1 is powered off due to the discharge of the capacitor BC0 (including the case where the pachinko machines installed in the game hall are simultaneously shut off by turning off the breaker of the gaming hall), a power failure or the like. In the state where a momentary power failure occurs, various information stored in the main control internal RAM is maintained by supplying a backup power supply as the main VBB to the main control internal RAM of the main control MPU 1310a provided on the main control board 1310X. At the same time, various information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is held by supplying the backup power as the payment VBB to the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU 633aa provided in the payout control unit 633a of the payout control board 633 It is supposed to be.

  When the operation of the game hall is finished, the clerks of the game hall and the like turn off the breaker of the game hall to simultaneously shut off the power of the pachinko machines installed in the game hall. Then, when starting the next sales (usually, the power switch of the pachinko machine installed in the game hall remains in the ON state). The clerk of the game hall clerk etc. breaks the game hall By turning ON the power of the pachinko machine installed in the game hall is turned on at the same time. At this time, if the capacity of capacitor BC0 is small, discharging of capacitor BC0 is completed during the period from the end of the game hall business to the start of the next business, and thus the main control board 1310X is equipped with the main Various information of the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU 633aa provided in the main control built-in RAM of the control MPU 1310a and the payout control unit 633a of the payout control board 633 can not be held. As a result, when the salesperson or other clerk of the game hall turns on the breaker of the game hall at the start of sales, if the power on of the pachinko machine installed in the game hall is simultaneously turned on, the RAM clear switch Regardless of whether the main control board is operated or not, the main control MPU included in the main control board determines the checksum (sum value) error of the main control built-in RAM in power-on processing and erases the contents of the main control built-in RAM completely Since all pachinko machines simultaneously execute the RAM clear notification to notify that they have been cleared, the RAM clear notification sound flowing from the speakers of all the pachinko machines will be sounded in the game hall. In this case, in all the pachinko machines, the payout control MPU provided on the payout control board determines a checksum (sum value) error of the payout control built-in RAM in the power-on process, and the contents of the payout control built-in RAM are completely Erase (clear).

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the capacity of the capacitor BC0 is selected so as not to execute the RAM clear notification even when the sales of the gaming hall is ended and the next sales is started. Specifically, to the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a provided on the main control board 1310X as the main VBB for about 3 days (about 72 hours) after the end of the game hall business as the capacity of the capacitor BC0 While being able to supply and hold various information stored in the main control built-in RAM, it is supplied to the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU 633aa provided in the payout control portion 633a of the payout control board 633 as a payout VBB and built-in payout control A storage capacity capable of holding various information stored in the RAM is selected. The selection of this capacity is made by the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU 633 aa provided in the payout control portion 633 a of the payout control substrate 633 and the power consumption of the main VBB supplied to the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310 a included in the main control substrate 1310 X Compared with the power consumption of the paid VBB supplied to the, it is also taken into consideration that it may be about 10 times larger. The power consumption of the control voltage (DC +5 V) supplied to the main control MPU 1310 a included in the main control board 1310 X is the control voltage (DC +5 V) supplied to the payout control MPU 633 aa included in the payout control unit 633 a of the payout control board 633 Compared to the power consumption of

10-5. Discontinuation of manufacturing electronic parts]
Next, the measures for discontinuing production will be described. First, with regard to a board treated as a main board such as a power supply board, a main control board, a payout control board, etc. due to various circumstances of the pachinko machine 1, lead type electronic components are mounted on the mounting surface which is the front side. It is necessary to solder on the side that is the soldering surface. However, although lead type electronic components are important among manufacturers that manufacture game machines such as pachinko machines, slots, and fusion game machines, other general electric machine manufacturers are able to reduce the size of the surface mount type ( The so-called SMD type is used. For this reason, the production number of lead type electronic components may be reduced due to a decrease in the number. Even if the lead type electronic components obtained from one electronic component manufacturer are discontinued and they are searched for substitutes, there is a high probability that other electronic component manufacturers will also be discontinued. Therefore, it becomes difficult to mount the lead-type electronic component on the substrate to be treated as the main substrate in the end.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to mount a lead-typed electronic component that can be configured as an electronic component of a lead type as an electronic component of a lead type on a mounting surface of a substrate treated as a main substrate . Here, the Schottky barrier diode D20 of the backup power supply circuit 630h of the power supply substrate 630 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 159 (a), Schottky barrier diode D20 has positions corresponding to anode side D20ca and cathode side D20cb serving as terminals of SMD type Schottky barrier diode D20b on the surface (mounting surface) of substrate D20a. The land patterns D20da and D20db for SMD are formed, and the land patterns D20fa and D20fb for leads are formed at positions where the one ends of the leads D20ea and D20eb corresponding to the SMD land patterns D20da and D20db are arranged, and the land patterns D20da for SMD , D20db and wiring patterns D20ga, D20gb for electrically connecting the lead land patterns D20fa, D20fb are formed.

  The SMD land patterns D20da and D20db formed on the surface (mounting surface) of the substrate D20a are arranged and soldered so as to correspond to the anode side D20ca and cathode side D20cb, which are terminals of the Schottky barrier diode D20b of SMD type. The anode side D20ca and the cathode side D20cb are soldered to the SMD land patterns D20da and D20db, and one ends of the leads D20ea and D20eb are respectively soldered to the lead land patterns D20fa and D20fb. Then, the entire surface (mounting surface) and the back surface of the substrate D20a are molded by being covered with an epoxy resin to form an electronic component body D20h covering one end of the SMD type Schottky barrier diode D20b and the leads D20ea and D20eb. The Schottky barrier diode D20 can be configured as a lead-typed electronic component in which two leads D20ea and D20eb protrude from the electronic component body D20h. As shown in FIG. 159 (b), a symbol D20ha indicating the forward direction of the Schottky barrier diode D20 is printed on the front surface and / or the back surface of the electronic component body D20h. Further, although not shown, the manufacturing company name and the product number (number listed in the catalog) of the Schottky barrier diode D20 are also printed on the front surface and / or the back surface of the electronic component body D20h.

  As described above, since SMD type electronic components can be configured as lead type electronic components, even if production is discontinued due to a decrease in the number of lead type electronic components being manufactured, it is generally difficult to obtain It can respond using the electronic component of SMD type which an electric machine maker uses.

  Although the Schottky barrier diode D20 has been described in the above-described embodiment, the present invention can also be applied to an SMD type capacitor, an SMD type resistor, an SMD type coil, or the like. Alternatively, the same SMD type electronic components may be arranged in a line in an array to form a lead-typed electronic component.

The signal is input to the anode terminal of D6, is output from the cathode terminals of the diodes D5 and D6, and is input to the AC-DET terminal of the power generation circuit 630f.

  Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment, as described above, when supplied to the power supply line connector DCN1 via the power supply cord (not shown), the fuse FUSE1 , And FUSE 2 are input to the input terminals 3 and 1 of the power switch 630 a. For the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, as described above, the white outline and the area ad2 in which the inside of the outline is solidly coated in white are silk-printed, and the silk-printed FSLKs 2 and 3 mount the power supply substrate 630 It is printed on the surface. That is, the area ad2 solidly painted in white is represented as a characteristic pattern. Although both ends of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 are soldered to the power supply substrate 630, as described above, support brackets (not shown) are respectively white, in the region between the inside area of the white outline and the periphery of the support brackets. The solid-painted area ad2 can be visually recognized, and the solid-white coated area corresponding to the transparent glass tube except the both ends of the fuse FUSE1 and FUSE2 is the inner area of the white outline. It is designed to be able to reliably see ad2 through a transparent glass tube.

  On the other hand, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 160, AC 24 V from the island facility of the game hall is supplied to the power supply line connector DCN1 via the power supply cord not shown. Then, the L side (AC 24 V 1) is input to the input side terminal 3 of the power switch 630 a through the fuse FUSE 1, and the N side (AC 24 V 2) is directly input to the input side terminal 1 of the power switch 630 a Be done. For fuse FUSE 1, as described above, silk-printed FSLK 2 is printed on the mounting surface of power supply substrate 630 as silk printing, with a white outline and an area ad 2 in which the inside of the outline is solidly coated in white. ing. That is, the area ad2 solidly painted in white is represented as a characteristic pattern. Although both ends of the fuse FUSE 1 are soldered to the power supply substrate 630 as described above, support brackets (not shown) are solidly coated in white in the area inside the white outline and around the support brackets. The area ad2 can be viewed visually, and the area ad2 which is the area inside the white outline and which is transparent to the transparent glass tube except for the ends of the fuse FUSE1 and is solidly coated in white is transparent It can be reliably viewed through a glass tube.

  Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the fuse 24 in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment omits the fuse 24 from the island facility of the game hall. To explain this briefly, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment, AC 24 V from the island facility of the game hall has fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 both power cords (L side (AC 24 V1) and N side ( Although it had been input to AC24V2), no problem occurred even if one side (N side (AC24V2)) was omitted according to a test conducted by the applicant. Thus, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 160, one side (N side (AC 24 V 2)) of AC 24 V from the island facility of the game hall is input side terminal 1 of power switch 630 a. The cost reduction is realized by inputting into as it is.

  Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the same one as the power switch 630a in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment is employed. This will be briefly described because, with regard to the power switch 630a, it is necessary to reliably turn on / off both the L side and the N side of the AC 24V from the island facility of the game hall. Thus, the power switch 630a in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment is the same as the power supply switch 630a in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment. Both the L side and the N side can be disconnected / connected simultaneously.

  Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 160, the N side (AC 24 V 2) of AC 24 V from the island facility of the game hall and the input side terminal 1 of the power switch 630 a It is electrically connected to one of the micro gap type arresters AL1. The other end of the micro gap type arrester AL1 is electrically connected to the frame ground FG2 of the ground connection terminal DCN5. When a high voltage (referred to as “surge voltage”) enters the AC 24 V from the facility in the game hall due to lightning strike, the micro gap type arrester AL1 surges the surge voltage to the frame ground FG2 of the ground connection terminal DCN5. The surge voltage is limited by flowing as a current to prevent the surge voltage from being applied to the power switch 630a, or the high voltage (surge voltage) temporarily generated by turning on / off the power switch 630a as the ground connection terminal DCN5. By flowing a surge current to the frame ground FG2, the surge voltage is limited to prevent the surge voltage from being applied to the power switch 630a. In addition, when installing the pachinko machine 1 in the game hall, the micro gap type arrester AL1 causes the worker to pass, and the earth terminal ECN2 (island equipment earth) of the frame earth substrate 559 shown in FIG. 102 (b). When you forgot to electrically connect with the ground connection terminal on the island facility of the game hall via the island facility ground wire, as a security, the electromagnetic noise is from the island facility of the game hall on the N side of AC24V (AC24V2 The noise immunity can be enhanced by leading to and removing.

  Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, a common mode noise countermeasure circuit CMC which is a circuit for common mode noise countermeasure, a normal mode noise countermeasure circuit NMC which is a circuit for normal mode noise countermeasure, a choke coil In addition to L1, a surge absorber SA1 constituting a power supply destruction circuit 630g ', the output side terminals 4 and 2 of the power supply switch 630a are a common mode noise reduction circuit CMC, a normal mode noise reduction circuit NMC, and a power supply destruction circuit 630 g 'and input to the choke coil L1. The surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g ′ has a faster reaction speed than the varistors ZNR1 and ZNR2 of the common mode noise countermeasure circuit CMC and the varistor ZNR3 of the normal mode noise countermeasure circuit NMC (for example, as the surge absorber SA1 Silicon surge absorber can be mentioned, one end of which is electrically connected to the L side of AC 24 V (AC 24 V 1) via power switch 630 a, and the other end is the N side of AC 24 V via power switch 630 a The circuit is electrically connected to AC 24 V 2), and when a circuit voltage exceeding the rated voltage (breakdown voltage) is input, a large current flows to be broken and short circuited to be a short mode.

  Although a varistor may be used as the surge absorber SA1, a silicon surge absorber (also called a semiconductor varistor, VRD or the like) is used here. The silicon surge absorber can absorb a surge voltage having a sharp rise compared to a normal varistor, and utilizes the avalanche (electron avalanche) effect of a silicon pn junction. This silicon surge absorber is characterized by very quick response to a surge, very excellent control voltage characteristics, and very small leakage current. Since the surge absorber SA1 is an alternating current circuit, a bidirectional type may be used, and the rated voltage (breakdown voltage) may be selected to be 47 V, which is about twice the input voltage.

  Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectification circuit 630c are electrically connected to the second (COM) terminal of the relay RL1. , And is electrically connected to one end of the thermistor TH1. The other end of the thermistor TH1 is electrically connected to the third (NO) terminal of the relay RL1, and is electrically connected to one end of the choke coil L2. The other end of the choke coil L2 is electrically connected to the power factor correction circuit 630d. The four terminals of the relay RL1 are grounded to the ground (GND), and the first terminal of the relay RL1 is electrically connected to a relay drive circuit 630i described later. As a result, both ends of the thermistor TH1 are electrically connected between the terminals of the second (COM) terminal and the third terminal of the relay RL1 (that is, between the contacts). Thermistor TH1 is of a type in which the resistance value decreases when the temperature rises. As its characteristic, assuming that the vertical axis is the allowable capacitor capacity and the horizontal axis is the AC voltage, the value of the AC voltage increases as the value increases. It has a curve in which the value of the allowable capacitor capacity is reduced, and one which is not broken even if AC 100 V which is a commercial power supply voltage is applied is selected.

  The direct current whose power factor has been improved by the power factor correction circuit 630d is input to the smoothing circuit 630e, and is input to the power supply generation circuit 630f and also to the relay drive circuit 630i. When the direct current from smoothing circuit 630e is input, relay drive circuit 630 creates an operating voltage (+24 V) capable of operating the coil of relay RL1 and supplies it to the first terminal of relay RL1.

  The rectified direct current output from the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectification circuit 630c is not supplied by the relay drive circuit 630i when the power switch 630a is turned on (relay drive circuit The relay RL1 can not be turned ON (in other words, the relay RL1 remains OFF) because the coil of the relay RL1 is not operating because the power supply at +24 V from the 630i is insufficient. , Without passing through the relay RL1 while the second (COM) terminal and the third terminal of the relay RL1 are in a non-conductive state, they are input to the power factor correction circuit 630d through the thermistor TH1 and the choke coil L2. Ru. As a result, the rectified direct current output from the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectification circuit 630c flows toward only the thermistor TH1, and when this direct current starts to flow to the thermistor TH1, the resistance value Is high, and a weak current flows to the subsequent load of the thermistor TH1, but when the temperature of the thermistor TH1 gradually increases due to the current flowing to the thermistor TH1, the resistance value of the thermistor TH1 decreases accordingly. Send a strong current to the load.

  On the other hand, when the power switch 630a is turned on and the power from the relay drive circuit 630i switches power from the inoperative state of the coil of the relay RL1 (by power supply by +24 V from the relay drive circuit 630i), the relay RL1 is activated. To turn on the 2nd (COM) terminal and 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 by turning ON, and the rectified direct current output from the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectification circuit 630c is In addition to the thermistor TH1, the current is divided between the terminals of the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 (that is, between the contacts) and passed respectively, and input to the power factor correction circuit 630d via the choke coil L2. Be done. Thereby, the rectified direct current output from the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectification circuit 630c is between the terminals of the second (COM) terminal and the third terminal of the relay RL1 (that is, between the contacts). ) Reduces the current to the thermistor TH1 to lower the temperature of the thermistor TH1, and the resistance of the thermistor TH1 increases accordingly, and the second (COM) terminal and the third terminal of the relay RL1 The current passing between the terminals of (ie, between the contacts) will increase.

  As described above, the thermistor TH1 is of a type in which the resistance value decreases as the temperature rises, and the rectified DC outputted from the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c is a thermistor When the current flows to TH1, the temperature of the thermistor TH1 rises and the resistance value decreases, and the current to the subsequent load of the thermistor TH1 becomes strong. In other words, the current flowing to the choke coil L2 is limited until the temperature of the thermistor TH1 rises. When this function is used, the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the AC 24V power outlet that is the gaming machine power supply voltage of the island facility of the game hall, and AC 100V power that is a commercial power supply voltage higher than 24V that is the gaming machine power supply voltage. If it is accidentally inserted into the outlet, the circuit voltage applied to the surge absorber SA1 greatly exceeds the rated voltage (breakdown voltage) by the time the temperature of the thermistor TH1 rises, and a large current flows in the surge absorber SA1. The absorber SA1 can be broken to be in the short mode.

  In such a state, when the power switch 630a is turned ON, a large current flows in the fuse FUSE1 through the surge absorber SA1 in the short mode state in the noise reduction circuit 630b, and the fuse FUSE1 It will melt. In addition, since fuse FUSE1 is melted and cut in a state where surge absorber SA1 is in the short mode, a large current does not continue to flow in surge absorber SA1, and the elements of surge absorber SA1 are scattered to cause surge absorber SA1 to It can be prevented from being broken in the open mode. As a result, only the power supply substrate 630 is destroyed, and each substrate inside the pachinko machine 1 except the power supply substrate 630 is destroyed even if the plug of the power supply cord is accidentally inserted into the AC 100 V power outlet which is a commercial power supply voltage. Can be reliably prevented.

  In the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, an AC-DET terminal for monitoring the power supply voltage in which the common mode noise is reduced by the choke coil L1 in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment. Since it is not necessary to provide a FUSE-GATE terminal for outputting a gate signal for a power supply destruction circuit and a CGND terminal for supplying a large current to the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, the circuit configuration is not complicated.

  In addition, the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the AC 24V power outlet that is the power supply voltage for the gaming machines on the island facilities of the game hall, and erroneously into the AC 100V power outlet that is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC 24V that is the power supply voltage for gaming machines. In the state where the surge absorber SA1 which is inserted and which constitutes the power supply destruction circuit 630g 'is broken, the fuse FUSE1 is replaced with one which is not melted and the power cord plug is supplied to the power supply voltage for the gaming machine of the island facility of the game hall Even if it is plugged into a 24V AC power outlet, the surge absorber SA1 that constitutes the power supply destruction circuit 630g 'has already been destroyed and the short mode is maintained, so the fuse replaced via the surge absorber SA1 A large current flows to FUSE1 and fuse FUSE1 So that the blown. That is, unless the power supply substrate 630 in which the surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g 'is already destroyed is replaced with a normal power supply substrate 630 in which the surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g' is not destroyed. Even if the plug of the power supply cord is plugged into the AC 24 V power supply outlet which is the power supply voltage for the gaming machine of the island facility of the game hall, the game can not be started.

  In the embodiment described above, the power switch 630a, the noise reduction circuit 630b, the rectification circuit 630c, the power factor improvement circuit 630d, the smoothing circuit 630e, the power generation circuit 630f, and the power destruction circuit 630g are provided on one power supply substrate 630.

The wiring connector A of the first power supply substrate 630A and the wiring connector B of the second power supply substrate 630B are electrically connected via the power supply wiring. AC24V1 and AC24V2 output from the output side terminals 4 and 2 of the power switch 630a in the first power supply substrate 630A are connected to the second power supply substrate 630B via the noise reduction circuit 630b, the wiring connector A, and the power supply wiring. When input to the connector B, in addition to being input to the rectifier circuit 630c, it is also input to the anode terminals of the diodes D5 and D6, is output from the cathode terminals of the diodes D5 and D6, and is input to the power generation circuit 630f. It will be. Note that various DC voltages, such as +35 V, +12 V and +5 V DC, created on the second power supply substrate 630B are supplied from the second power supply substrate 630B to each substrate inside the pachinko machine 1 except the first power supply substrate 630A. Ru.

  Also, the power supply substrate 630 shown in FIG. 160 can be divided into two substrates of a first power supply substrate 630A and a second power supply substrate 630B.

  Incidentally, conventionally, there has been proposed a gaming machine provided with power supply means capable of creating various power supplies necessary for the gaming apparatus based on an external power supply supplied from outside the gaming machine (e.g., JP-A-2014-008221) Gazette (Fig. 2) By the way, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of the game machine directs a particular part of the power supply means to a staff member such as a salesperson in the game hall by telephone, There is a problem that it is difficult to identify a component to be noted among a plurality of components mounted on the power supply means.

  Also, conventionally, a gaming machine provided with power supply means for creating various power supplies based on the power supply from the game island facility and supplying the substrates to the substrate has been proposed (for example, JP-A-2014-083337 (paragraph [0038] )). The game island facility converts the commercial alternating current power supply (AC 100 V) into an AC power supply (AC 24 V) for gaming machines obtained by reducing the voltage. However, if the power cord for supplying the power from the island facility to the gaming machine is plugged into the power outlet of the commercial AC power supply instead of the power outlet of the AC power supply for the gaming machine, the commercial AC power will be from the AC power supply for the gaming machine Because of the high voltage, there is a possibility that the abnormal power supply is output from the power supply means and the various substrates in the gaming machine are destroyed.

An employee such as a salesclerk of the game hall can get radio wave irradiation got at an early stage by reliably detecting and notifying the fraudulent action by radio wave irradiation using) in the fraud detection process in the main control timer interrupt process described later. It can contribute to being able to discover.

  In this case, the gaming ball B which has passed through the gate portion 2003 is first detected by the gate sensor main side 2401a by passing through the gate sensor main side 2401a, and is detected by the gate sensor slave side 2401b by passing through the gate sensor second side 2401b. It will be done. Further, detection signals from the gate sensor main side 2401a and the gate sensor slave side 2401b are electrically connected to the main control board 1310X via the panel relay board 1710 (that is, they are electrically connected indirectly). Has been The detection signal from the gate sensor main side 2401a is input to the input terminal PA0 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a through the main control input circuit 1310b, and the detection signal from the gate sensor slave side 2401b is the main control input circuit 1310b Are input to the input terminal PC0 of the input port PC (this input port is composed of 8 bits) of the main control MPU 1310a.

It may consist of two sensors (double sensors). If it carries out like this, the 2nd starting opening sensor 2402 comprised from two sensors (double sensor) of the 2nd starting opening sensor main side 2402a and the 2nd starting opening sensor slave side 2402b similarly to the 1st starting opening sensor 3002 By adopting this, it is possible to reliably detect the gaming ball B received by the second start port 2004. In addition, an irregular ball (a game ball or a ball approximately equal in diameter or a synthetic resin ball approximately equal in diameter) to which a flexible cord-like operation line (a thread, a piano wire, a wire or a linear member such as a catheter) is attached. An employee such as a salesclerk of the game hall can get radio wave irradiation got at an early stage by reliably detecting and notifying the fraudulent action by radio wave irradiation using) in the fraud detection process in the main control timer interrupt process described later. It can contribute to being able to discover.

  In this case, the game ball B received in the second start opening 2004 is first detected by the second start opening sensor main side 2402a by passing through the second start opening sensor main side 2402a, and the second start opening sensor second side After passing through 2402b, it is discharged to the lower substrate holder 1200 after being detected by the second start port sensor slave side 2402b.

While the detection signal from the second starting opening sensor main side 2402a is electrically connected to the main control board 1310X (that is, directly connected electrically), the second starting opening sensor The detection signal from the slave side 2402 b is electrically connected to the main control board 1310 X via the panel relay board 1710 (that is, it is electrically connected indirectly). The detection signal from the second start port sensor main side 2402a is input to the input terminal PA3 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a through the main control input circuit 1310b, and the detection signal from the second start port sensor slave side 2402b Is input to the input terminal PB3 of the input port PB of the main control MPU 1310a via the main control input circuit 1310b.

In this way, it is possible to provide a physical structure in which a single connector composed of wires obtained by combining the two wires from each of the general winning hole sensors 3001 into separate ones is not formed. In the manufacturer, the worker of the line can surely prevent the operation mistake (the wiring mistake of the insertion mistake) of the miswiring of the respective two wires from each general winning hole sensor 3001 in the manufacturing process. At the same time, in the game hall, when a clerk or the like in the game hall checks the presence or absence of a fraud, when the wiring is temporarily removed for maintenance and returned to its original state, each two of the general winning opening sensor 3001 It is possible to reliably prevent a work mistake (a wiring mistake of a misinsertion) such as a miswiring of a book wiring.

  Incidentally, conventionally, there have been proposed game machines provided with various ball entrances in an advantageous area of a game board, and provided with sensors (detection means) for detecting passage of game balls in each ball entrance ( For example, JP-A-2016-154676 (paragraphs [0014] to [0016], FIGS. 2 to 4)). However, if the wiring from the detection means passing through the ball entrance similar to that of the application is erroneously connected electrically, there is no problem in terms of electrical specifications, so damage is avoided but the detection signal of the ball entrance is erroneously received And affect the progress of the game. However, there is a problem that, in particular, there is a possibility that the wrong connection may not immediately be noticed in some cases because the application is particularly similar.

Take control.

  The LED constant current drive circuit 402bb is the same circuit as the LED constant current drive circuit 402ba, the LED constant current drive circuit 283a of the dish lower left decoration substrate 283, and the LED constant current drive circuit 273a of the dish upper left decoration substrate 273, hdLED9, A sink (suction) type constant current drive circuit 402bbx capable of supplying a constant current to hLED1 and huLED1 to huLED5 which are five full color LEDs mounted on the left side upper decoration substrate 402a, hdLED9, hdLED10, and left The maximum current setting circuit 402 bby is capable of setting the maximum current of the current flowing to the huLED 1 to huLED 5 of the side upper decorative substrate 402 a. The constant current drive circuit 402bbx is a substrate (left side lower decoration substrate 402b) on which the constant current drive circuit 402bbx is mounted based on the door frame side second serial system (light emission data SDAT2, clock signal SCLK2) from the door frame sub relay substrate 105. The constant current is controlled to flow to the hLED1 9, the hdLED 10, and the huLED 1 to huLED 5 of the decoration substrate 402 a on the left side.

  As described above, the constant current drive circuit 402bax of the LED constant current drive circuit 402ba is a sink (suction) type, so it generates heat by absorbing the constant current flowing in the huLED1 to huLED8. Since the constant current drive circuit 402bbx of the LED constant current drive circuit 402bb is a sink (suction) type as described above, the constant current drive circuit 402bb generates heat by absorbing the constant current flowing through the hdLED 9, hdLED 10, and huLED1 to huLED5. Therefore, heat generation of the constant current drive circuit 402bax can be dispersed by receiving a part of heat generation of the constant current drive circuit 402bax by the heat dispersion circuit 402bc. Further, part of the heat generation of the constant current drive circuit 402bbx can be dispersed by the heat dispersion circuit 402bc and the heat dispersion circuit 402ac of the left upper side decoration substrate 402a. ing.

  As described above, a part of the heat generation of the constant current drive circuit 402bax can disperse the heat generation of the constant current drive circuit 402bax only by the heat dispersion circuit 402bc of the substrate (the lower left decoration substrate 402b) on which it is mounted.

The gradation information is information indicating which one of the gradation degree 0 (zero) to the gradation degree 127 is to be designated.

12-2. Outline of LED constant current drive circuit]
Next, the outline of the LED constant current drive circuit will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, since the LED constant current drive circuits provided on the respective decoration substrates of the door frame 3 are the same circuit, the LED constant current drive circuit 283a provided on the lower left decoration substrate 283 will be described here. As described above, the LED constant current drive circuit 283a sets a sink (suction) type constant current drive circuit 283x capable of supplying a constant current to the sdLED1 to sdLED6 and a maximum current of the current to be supplied to the sdLED1 to sdLED6. And a maximum current setting circuit 283 y capable of

[12-2-1. Constant current drive circuit]
The constant current drive circuit has 24 output channels, and can output current for each channel. In the present embodiment, an output channel LR is configured for an LED element emitting red (R), an LED element emitting green (G), and an LED element emitting blue (B), which constitute one full-color LED. , LG and LB are individually controlled to use three output channels. That is, in the present embodiment, the light emission mode is controlled by individually controlling the output channels LR1 to LR8, LG1 to LG8, LB1 to LB8 for up to eight full color LEDs with one constant current drive circuit. It is possible to

  The constant current drive circuit 283x includes a linear power supply 283xa, a reset unit 283xb, a data line buffer 283xc, a clock line buffer 283xd, an address setting unit 283xe, an oscillator 283xf, a logic processing unit 283xg, a PWM unit 283xh, and a constant current drive unit 283xi. Mainly composed.

[12-2-1a. Linear power supply]
The linear power supply 283xa is a circuit capable of creating and supplying an internal power supply Vreg (DC +5 V in this embodiment) used in the constant current drive circuit 283x when DC +12 V from the +12 V power supply line is input. The internal power supply Vreg created by the linear power supply 283xa includes a reset unit 283xb, a data line buffer 283xc, a clock line buffer 283xd, an address setting unit 283xe, an oscillator 283xf, a logic processing unit 283xg, a PWM unit 283xh, and a constant current drive unit. 283xb, a data line buffer 283xc, a clock line buffer 283xd, an address setting unit 283xe, an oscillator 283xf, a logic processing unit 283xg, a PWM unit 283xh, and a constant current driving unit 283x. Is able to operate.

  Constant current drive circuit 283x is not electrically connected to the +5 V power supply line of power supply substrate 630 shown in FIG. There is. This is because if the +5 V power supply line from the power supply substrate 630 is used, this +5 V power supply line will be routed around the electrical wiring, so the length of the +5 V power supply line supplying DC +5 V becomes longer and noise is generated. It becomes easy to invade. Then, when the external noise is transmitted to the +5 V power supply line and the DC +5 V is input to the constant current drive circuit 283x, the external noise may cause the flickering of the LED. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by making the +5 V power supply line from the power supply substrate 630 unnecessary for the constant current drive circuit 283 x, the noise resistance of the +12 V power supply line is extremely high compared to the +5 V power supply line. In the linear power supply 283xa, a configuration is adopted in which DC +5 V is uniquely generated as the internal power supply Vreg.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, external noise is transmitted to the internal power supply Vreg by using the constant current drive circuit 283x only in the constant current drive circuit 283x without outputting the internal power supply Vreg from the constant current drive circuit 283x to another substrate. Since this can be made difficult, the internal power supply Vreg can be stabilized. Thereby, by stabilizing the internal power supply Vreg, it is possible to contribute to the prevention of flickering of the sdLED1 to sdLED6 which are full color LEDs due to the external noise. Therefore, it can be made strong against extraneous noise. Further, the input electrical wiring for the +5 V power supply line and the external transmission electrical wiring are not required, which can contribute to the miniaturization of the connector.

[12-2-1 b. Reset section]
The reset unit 283xb generates an internal reset signal RST based on the internal power supply Vreg from the linear power supply 283xa, outputs it to the constant current drive circuit 283x, initializes the constant current drive circuit 283x, and operates the constant current drive circuit 283x. It is a so-called power on reset circuit that can be started. The internal reset signal RST output from the reset unit 283xb is input to the data line buffer 283xc, the clock line buffer 283xd, the address setting unit 283xe, the oscillator 283xf, the logic processing unit 283xg, the PWM unit 283xh, and the constant current drive unit 283xi Then, the data line buffer 283xc, the clock line buffer 283xd, the address setting unit 283xe, the oscillator 283xf, the logic processing unit 283xg, the PWM unit 283xh, and the constant current drive unit 283xi are initialized to generate the data line buffer 283xc, The clock line buffer 283xd, the address setting unit 283xe, the oscillator 283xf, the logic processing unit 283xg, the PWM unit 283xh, and the constant current drive unit 283xi start operation.

  For example, the constant current drive circuit 283 x does not receive a reset signal from the peripheral control substrate 1510 shown in FIG. 146, and independently generates a reset signal as the internal reset signal RST and utilizes it in the constant current drive circuit 283 x. There is. For example, when using a line for transmitting a reset signal from the peripheral control board 1510 (hereinafter referred to as “reset signal transmission line”), the reset signal transmission line may be routed around electric wiring. Therefore, the length of the reset signal transmission line for transmitting the reset signal is increased, and noise is likely to intrude. Then, when the external noise is transmitted to the reset signal transmission line and the reset signal is input to the constant current drive circuit 283x, the constant current drive circuit 283x may be reset due to the influence of the external noise to turn off the LED. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the reset signal transmission line is not required for the constant current drive circuit 283x, and the reset unit 283xb of the constant current drive circuit 283x independently generates a reset signal as the internal reset signal RST. did.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the reset signal is not input from the external substrate, and the constant current drive circuit 283x does not output the internal reset signal RST from the constant current drive circuit 283x to another substrate, but only in the constant current drive circuit 283x. Since external noise can be made difficult to be transmitted to the internal reset signal RST by utilizing it, the internal reset signal RST can be stabilized. As a result, the internal reset signal RST is stabilized (that is, the initialization of the constant current drive circuit 283x is stabilized), so that the constant current drive circuit 283x due to external noise is not reset, and the output channels LR1 to LR8, This can contribute to the prevention of unexpected turning off and flickering of the LED elements constituting the full color LED corresponding to LG1 to LG8 and LB1 to LB8. Therefore, it can be made strong against extraneous noise. In addition, the need for the input electrical wiring for the reset signal transmission line and the external transmission electrical wiring is eliminated, which can contribute to the miniaturization of the connector.

[12-2-1 c. buffer]
The data line buffer 283 x c is a line (hereinafter referred to as “data line”) for transmitting serial data from outside of the constant current drive circuit 283 x (here, light emission data SDAT 1 of the first serial frame on the door frame side). Serial data is input from the circuit, and the waveform of the signal for transmitting the serial data is shaped, and can be output to the logic processing unit 283xg and the outside of the constant current drive circuit 283x. The clock line buffer 283xd is a line for transmitting a clock signal (here, clock signal SCLK1 of the door frame side first serial system) from the outside of the constant current drive circuit 283x (hereinafter referred to as "clock line"). The clock signal is input from the circuit, and the waveform of the clock signal can be shaped and output to the logic processing unit 283xg and the outside of the constant current drive circuit 283x.

  The data line and the clock line are transmitted across a plurality of boards and relay boards as described above. For this reason, the lengths of the data line and the clock line are both increased, so that noise can easily enter. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by providing the data line buffer 283xc and the clock line buffer 283xd in the constant current drive circuit 283x, noise that has entered the data line or clock line immediately before being input to the constant current drive circuit 283x. Are arranged in the data line buffer 283xc and the clock line buffer 283xd so as not to be transmitted to the logic processing unit 283xg and the subsequent substrate.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the lengths of the data line and the clock line are both increased, the data line and the clock line can be formed that are resistant to noise. Thus, signal transmission resistant to noise can be realized. Therefore, it can be made strong against extraneous noise.

[12-2-1 d. Address setting section]
The address setting unit 283xe sets 64 kinds of addresses as an ID (ID capable of identifying an individual) of the constant current drive circuit 283x by three ID resistances (not shown) based on the internal power supply Vreg from the linear power supply 283xa. It can be done.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the ID capable of identifying the individual of the constant current drive circuit 283x is preset by the address setting unit 283xe by the hardware configuration of three ID resistors (not shown). It is not necessary to receive data from software and set it appropriately.

A clock signal from the outside of the shaped constant current drive circuit 283x (here, the clock signal SCLK1 of the door frame side first serial system) is input. The logic processing unit 283xg includes its own ID in the ID information of the serial data (light emission data SDAT1 of the first serial frame on the door frame side) based on the address that is its own ID set by the address setting unit 283xe. At this time, control is performed such that the gradation information in the output channel is set in the PWM unit 283xh based on the signal (control clock signal) from the oscillator 283xf so that the gradation information is taken from the serial data and becomes the taken-in gradation information. If the ID information of the serial data (light emission data SDAT1 on the door frame side first serial system) does not include its own ID, the gradation information in this serial data is not fetched and is set in the PWM unit 283xh. Control to maintain the current contents of the

[12-2-1 f. PWM section]
The PWM unit 283xh can control the brightness (gradation) of the LED in each output channel in a total of 128 steps from gradation 0 (zero) to gradation 127 from light off to lighting (maximum luminance) The gradation control is performed by one PWM gradation control unit (not shown) for one output channel. That is, the PWM unit 283xh is provided with PWM gradation control units 1 to 24 corresponding to the output channels LR1 to LR8, LG1 to LG8, LB1 to LB8 individually (that is, 24 PWM gradation control units). ing.

As a result, when a worker performing an inspection brings a probe (not shown) into contact with the check pin, the probe (not shown) and the check pin are electrically connected to be in a conductive state, and various inspections can be performed. Note that among the plurality of check pins, there are some that can confirm the contents of serial data to the constant current drive circuit 402bax and the constant current drive circuit 402bbx.

  In the embodiment, an electronic component such as a resistor and a capacitor which does not have a white color that reduces the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of a full color LED, and a connector which does not have a white color Since the reflectance on the mounting surface is lowered, it was not mounted at all on the LED mounting surface, but among the LED mounting surfaces due to the light emission of the full color LED, the area corresponding to the member disposed forward is the LED mounting surface If it is difficult to contribute to the reflectance in the above, electronic components such as a resistor and a capacitor not having white and a connector not having white may be arranged in the region. In this case, an area indicating the position where an electronic component or connector is to be arranged is printed as a silk-screened yellow dotted line (or a black dotted line) not shown on the LED non-mounting surface. Parts and connectors and corresponding part numbers are printed in yellow (or black) not shown as silk printing.

  The LED mounting surface 402bx and the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left lower decorative substrate 402b are formed as a so-called solid ground in which a region excluding land patterns and wiring patterns of electronic components and connectors is grounded to ground (GND). The solid ground formed on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the left side lower decoration substrate 402b and the solid ground formed on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the left side lower decoration substrate 402b are electrically connected by a plurality of through holes not shown. There is.

  As described above, since the left side lower decorative substrate 402b is formed in the shape of an elongated strip extending vertically, when viewed from the LED mounting surface 402bx of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b, the left side lower decorative substrate 402b is The width dimension from the left end side 402beg1 to the right end side 402beg2 is only about 1.78 times the width dimension from the left end side to the right end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx. Therefore, when the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are arranged parallel to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b, the lands of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx Since the distance between the edge of the pattern and the left edge 402beg1 or the right edge 402beg2 of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b becomes extremely short, let's take out the wiring pattern from each lead pad of the land pattern arranged on the edge Even in this case, since the pattern width of the wiring pattern and the distance between adjacent wiring patterns are limited by the minimum distance dimension, it becomes difficult to pull out all the wiring patterns from each lead pad of the land patterns arranged at the end .

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are arranged to be inclined 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left decoration substrate 402b. Adopted the configuration.

  In the present embodiment, by adopting such an arrangement, the lower end side of the right of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx is input when viewed from the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b. By arranging the terminal on the input side closer to the left end side 402beg1 of the lower left lower decorative substrate 402b so as to become the terminal on the side, the terminal frame on the door frame side second serial system (light emission data SDAT2, clock signal SCLK2 shown in FIG. ), DC (+12 V), ground (GND), resistances Rr and Rg of maximum current setting circuits 402bay and 402bby are input, and the lower left end, upper left end and upper right end are mainly output terminal 1 to output side. The output terminals 1 to 3 are connected to the output channels LR1 to LR8 and LG1 shown in FIG. LG8, LB1~LB8, and door frame side second serial line (emission data SDAT2, clock signal SCLK2) to output the like. The terminal 1 on the output side has a terminal to which the resistance Rb of the maximum current setting circuit 402bay and 402bby is input, and the output 2 and the output 3 have a terminal to which a ground (GND) is input. There is.

  Further, by adopting such an arrangement, two ends of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are inclined 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b. While being able to arrange as a state, it is possible to arrange so that the remaining two end sides are inclined 45 degrees with respect to the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b. Thus, from each lead pad of the land pattern arranged on the four sides of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx, the pattern width of the wiring pattern and the distance between adjacent wiring patterns are restricted by the minimum distance dimension. You can even pull out all the wiring patterns. Therefore, in the left side lower decoration substrate 402b formed in an elongated strip shape extending vertically, it is possible to secure an area where the wiring (wiring pattern) is drawn out from the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx.

  Further, by adopting such an arrangement, among the eight full color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED8, there are four full color LEDs consisting of group 1 consisting of four full color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED4 and four full color LEDs Since the constant current drive circuit 402bax can be disposed between the group 2 composed of hdLED5 to hdLED8, the length of the wiring pattern from the constant current drive circuit 402bax to the groups 1 and 2 can be extended. Can be formed evenly. As a result, it is possible to prevent the length of routing the wiring pattern to the group 1 and the group 2 from being lengthened or shortened in any one of the group 1 and the group 2, and therefore, the art It is possible to increase the efficiency of the arrangement and routing of the wiring pattern in the work.

  In addition, by adopting such an arrangement, the constant current drive circuit 402bax can be reduced by using the hdLED 6 which is the full-color LED (Fig. 167 (a)) in the vertical direction on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left decoration substrate 402b. The constant current drive circuit 402bbx can be disposed closer to the lower side compared to the disposed portion), and the central portion in the vertical direction of the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left decoration substrate 402b (FIG. 167 (a) (The part where the hdLED 6 which is the full color LED is arranged) is located closer to the upper side, and can be arranged above the hdLED 8 which is the full color LED configured in group 2 whose light emission is controlled by the constant current drive circuit 402bax . Thus, it is possible to secure an area for routing the wiring pattern from the constant current drive circuit 402bax to the eight full color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED8 in the lower left side decoration substrate 402b, and from the constant current drive circuit 402bbx The area for wiring the wiring pattern to the full color LEDs huLED1 to huLED5 provided on the two left full color LEDs hdLED9, hdLED10 and the five left upper side decoration substrates 402a shown in FIG. It can be secured at 402b.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb of the maximum current setting circuits 402bay, 402bby, capacitors not shown are soldered to the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left decoration substrate 402b. The resistors Rr, Rg, Rb and capacitors not shown are surface mount type (SMD) having a rectangular planar shape, and so-called EIA type 0805 (designated 2012, horizontal length: 2.0 mm, vertical length Length: 1.25 mm). That is, the sizes of the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb and capacitors not shown are compared with the sizes (horizontal length: 6.0 mm, vertical length: 6.0 mm) of the constant current drive circuits 402bax, 402bbx. Very small. Therefore, the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb and capacitors not shown are different from the constant current drive circuits 402bax, 402bbx, and one end of the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb in the longitudinal direction is the left end side of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b Capacitors arranged in parallel with 402beg1 and right end side 402beg2 and not shown are such that one end side in the longitudinal direction is perpendicular to left end side 402beg1 and right end side 402beg2 of lower left side decorative substrate 402b It is arranged as. In other words, each end of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx arranged with the end of the land pattern inclined 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b and the resistance They are respectively disposed on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b so that Rr, Rg, Rb and one end side in the longitudinal direction of the capacitor (not shown) are not parallel to each other.

  In addition, as described above, in the arrangement method of the LED constant current drive circuit on each decoration substrate of the door frame 3, the end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuit is 45 to the left end side and the right end side of the decoration substrate. The door frame top central decorative substrate 455, the door frame top left decorative substrate 456, and the door frame top right decorative substrate 457 of the door frame top decorative body 453 are substantially identical although they are arranged as inclined. Unlike the other decoration substrates of Frame 3, the door frame top center decoration substrate 455, the door frame top left decoration substrate 456, and the door frame top right decoration substrate 457 are disposed on the door frame top decoration 453 of the decoration substrate Since the width dimension from the upper end side to the lower end side is large, the end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuit can be obtained by using the door frame top central decoration substrate 455, the door frame top left decoration substrate 456, and the door frame top It is arranged so as to be parallel to the upper side and lower side of the right decorative substrate 457. That is, in the present embodiment, the end of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuit is parallel to the end of the decoration substrate, and the end of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuit is not parallel to the end of the decoration substrate. There is a mixture of In the present embodiment, the door frame top central decorative substrate 455 is provided with the other central decorative substrate on which five full color LEDs (not shown) are mounted, in addition to the eleven full color LEDs (not shown). Two LED constant current drive circuits (first LED constant current drive circuit (first constant current drive circuit, first maximum current setting circuit), second LED constant current drive circuit (second constant current drive circuit, In the second maximum current setting circuit)), an LED constant current drive circuit (here, a second LED constant current drive circuit (second constant current drive circuit, second maximum current setting circuit))) Two heat dispersion circuits (the first constant current drive circuit is a first heat dispersion circuit (heat dispersion resistance), the second constant current drive circuit is a second heat dispersion circuit (heat dispersion resistance)) Control the light emission directly through the The left decorative substrate 456 is provided with one LED constant current drive circuit (not shown) (not shown) with the other left decorative substrate on which one full color LED not shown is mounted in addition to the seven full color LEDs with which it is provided. The light emission control is directly controlled via one heat dispersion circuit (heat dispersion resistance) provided for itself (not shown) by the current drive circuit and the maximum current setting circuit, and the door frame top right decoration substrate 457 has six full color LEDs provided for itself. In addition to the above, another right decoration substrate on which two full color LEDs (not shown) are mounted is provided with itself by one LED constant current drive circuit (constant current drive circuit, maximum current setting circuit) not shown. Direct light emission control is performed via one heat dispersion circuit (heat dispersion resistance). The other central decorative substrate is formed in an elongated strip shape extending left and right along the central portion of the door frame top decorative body 453, and the other left decorative substrate is a left side portion of the door frame top decorative body 453. The other right decoration substrate is formed in the shape of an elongated strip extending leftward and rightward along the right side portion of the door frame top decorative body 453. It is necessary to provide heat dissipating circuits (heat dissipating resistors) on each of the other central decorative substrates, the other left decorative substrates, and the other right decorative substrates. As described above, the heat dispersion circuit (here, the second heat dispersion circuit (heat dispersion resistance)) provided on the door frame top central decoration substrate 455 itself and the heat dispersion circuit of the other central decoration substrate are the door frame top In addition to the function of being able to disperse the heat generation of the second LED constant current drive circuit (precisely, the second constant current drive circuit) provided on the central decorative substrate 455 itself, it prevents damage to electronic parts due to static electricity It also has features that can be done. Further, as described above, the heat dispersion circuit provided on the door frame top left decoration substrate 456 itself and the heat dispersion circuit of the other left decoration substrate are the LED constant current drive circuits provided on the door frame top left decoration substrate 456 In addition to the function of dispersing the heat generation of the constant current drive circuit, the function of preventing damage to the electronic component due to static electricity is also included. Further, as described above, the heat dispersion circuit provided on the door frame top right decoration substrate 457 itself and the heat dispersion circuit of the other right decoration substrate are the LED constant current drive circuits provided on the door frame top right decoration substrate 457 (correctly In addition to the function of dispersing the heat generation of the constant current drive circuit, the function of preventing damage to the electronic component due to static electricity is also included.

  Also, ten full color LEDs are arranged with the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx inclined 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b. The hdLED1 to hdLED10 are viewed from the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left lower decoration substrate 402b and closer to the right end 402beg2 of the lower left lower decoration substrate 402b and along the vertical direction of the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left lower decoration substrate 402b. And the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are closer to the left end side 402beg1 of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b when viewed from the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b. L of left side lower decoration board 402b Adopting a configuration of placing the D non-mounting surface 402By. As described above, the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are sink (suction) types, and generate heat by absorbing a constant current flowing to each LED element. For this reason, even in the left-side lower decoration substrate 402b formed in an elongated strip shape extending vertically, by separating the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx and the 10 full color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10, The heat generated by the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx can be made less susceptible to the 10 full color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10.

  Also, by arranging the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx to be inclined 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b, the constant current drive circuit The end of the land pattern of 402bax and 402bbx is disposed parallel to the left and right sides of the decoration substrate (that is, the door frame top central decoration substrate 455 of the door frame top decoration 453, the door frame top left decoration Compared to the substrate 456 and the door frame top right decoration substrate 457), the one which arranges the end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx nonparallel to the left end side and the right end side of the decoration substrate is the decoration substrate The width dimension from the left end side to the right end side of can be further shortened. This can contribute to increasing the distance dimension in the left-right direction of the game board 5.

12-4-2. Dish center top decoration board]
The dish center upper decoration substrate 314 includes LED constant current drive circuits 314a and 314b, ten full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10, and the like, as shown in FIG. 167 (b). While ten full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center plate decorative plate 314 on the upper side of the rendering operation unit 300, the LED constant current drive circuit 314a , 314 b are mounted on the LED non-mounting surface 314 y of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314 on the upward direction of the rendering operation unit 300. When the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 shown in FIG. 167 (b) is turned 90 degrees to the left and viewed (that is, the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 is actually arranged along the dish center upper decoration body 312a. Connector HCN is mounted on the right side along the upper edge 314eg1 of the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish upper center decorative substrate 314, for connecting the operation part relay substrate 392 and the electrical wiring.

  A white resist is uniformly coated on the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the upper center decoration substrate 314. In this embodiment, a white resist solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish upper center decorative substrate 314 causes the full color LED hLED1 to hLED10 to emit light forward (that is, the upper side of the rendering operation unit 300). It is possible to increase the reflectance of the

  On the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314, the part numbers corresponding to the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10, and the area indicating the position where the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged are completely printed as silk printing It has not been. In addition, the substrate management number of the upper center dish decoration board 314 is not formed on the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper dish base decoration board 314 as a white letter with a white resist.

  This is because the reflectance of the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 at the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center decoration substrate 314 decreases due to the full color LED and the area indicating the position where the full color LED is arranged. To prevent that. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reflectance of the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center dish decorative substrate 314 from being lowered by the light emission of the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10.

  Moreover, although the dish center upper decoration 312a of the unit front cover 312 shown in FIG. 91A provided on the door frame 3 is formed to be milky white having translucency as described above, the front of the pachinko machine 1 is When the player sitting on the head moves the head (face), the line of sight changes according to the direction of the head (face), temporarily, the dish center upper decoration board 314 provided on the dish center upper decoration body 312a of the unit front cover 312 Even when the player can visually recognize the mounting surface 314x, the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314 originally has a part number corresponding to hLED1 to hLED10, which are full color LEDs, and a full color LED The area indicating the position where the hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged is not printed at all as silk printing. Full color LED with the corresponding part number, and a region indicating where to place the full color LED are prevented from being viewed by the player without a. Therefore, a number specifying the full color LED hLED1 to hLED10 (that is, a part number corresponding to the full color LED hLED1 to hLED10) or an auxiliary line indicating the mounting position of the full color LED hLED1 to hLED10 (that is, full color LED It is possible to make it difficult for the player to visually recognize the area where the certain hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged.

  A part number corresponding to the connector HCN and a region indicating the position where the connector HCN is to be arranged are not printed at all on the LED mounting surface 314x of the plate center upper decorative substrate 314 as silk printing. This prevents the player from visually recognizing the area indicating the connector HCN and the part number corresponding to the player and the position where the connector HCN is to be arranged, which has no relation to the game at all.

  In addition, the whole of the LED mounting surface 314x of the plate center upper decoration substrate 314 is covered with a white resist. The hLED1 to hLED10, which are full color LEDs, are made of resin of white (the color recognized as the same color as white), and the connector HCN has a white housing (also called natural color, white (natural color) Color) It is made of resin recognized as the same color. That is, the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center decoration substrate 314 is an electronic component having a package of the same color (color recognized as the same color) as the white resist covered (solidly coated) on the whole. A full color LED hLED1 to hLED10 and a connector HCN having a white resist covered with the whole (solid color) and a housing of the same color (color recognized as the same color) are mounted. Thus, in the present embodiment, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors (not shown) that do not have white color and connectors that do not have white color are completely mounted on the LED mounting surface 314 x of the decoration board 314 on the upper center of the dish. Not. In other words, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color, and connectors that do not have white color have a decrease in reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full color LED. Not implemented at all.

  In addition, on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration board 314, the board management number of the dish upper center decoration board 314 is a wire with a foil-free character (that is, copper foil in a layer (copper plane) on which a wiring pattern is formed) The character is formed in a pattern and is formed as a blank character formed by removing the copper foil around it, and the white font is solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decoration substrate 314 on the upper center of the dish It is covered. The wiring pattern for forming the foil-removed characters is formed so as to be electrically insulated from the electronic component. In addition, the board management number of the dish center upper decoration board 314 is replaced by the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration board 314, and the foil-free character (that is, the wiring pattern) In a layer (copper plane) in which a character is formed by a wiring pattern which is a copper foil, and may be formed as a cut-out character formed by removing the copper foil around it. Make a letter with a wiring pattern which is a copper foil in the layer (copper plane) on which a foil pattern is formed (that is, a layer on which a wiring pattern is formed) on the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the dish upper center decorative substrate 314 It may be formed as a drawn character formed by pulling out the copper foil, respectively. In addition, the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 are formed as a solid ground, as described later. For this reason, the board management number of the decoration base 314 on the upper center of the plate is made by forming a character with a wiring pattern which is a copper foil in a foil-removed character (that is, a layer (copper plane) on which a wiring pattern is formed) Not formed on the LED mounting surface 314x or on the LED non-mounting surface 314y on one or both sides. It may be

  On the other hand, the constant current drive circuit 314 ax constituting the LED constant current drive circuit 314 a, the resistances Rr, Rb, Rg of the maximum current setting circuit 314 ay, and various dispersions Regions showing positions where electronic components such as resistors are arranged are printed as silk lines with yellow solid lines (or black solid lines) not shown, and the component numbers corresponding to the electronic components are silk near these areas. They are printed in yellow (or black) not shown for printing.

  Further, on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314, a region corresponding to hLED1 to hLED10 which is full color LEDs mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 is not illustrated as silk printing. The yellow dots (or the part numbers corresponding to hLED1 to hLED10, which are full color LEDs, are not shown as silk printing in the vicinity of these areas HSLK1 to HSLK10) , Black) are printed respectively.

  In addition, on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the plate center upper decorative substrate 314, a yellow dashed line (not shown) indicating a position where the connector HCN mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the plate center upper decorative substrate 314 is disposed as silk printing. While printed with (or black dashed line), a part number corresponding to the connector HCN is printed in the vicinity of this area in yellow (or black) not shown as silk printing.

  Also, the resistors, capacitors, etc. mounted on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 do not have white color, and the constant current drive circuit 314ax (314bx) integrated on one semiconductor chip is The package is made of black resin. As described above, electronic components such as a resistor, a capacitor, and an IC that do not have white color are mounted on the LED non-mounting surface because the reflectance due to the light emission of the full color LED decreases.

  Furthermore, the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 is individually subjected to lighting inspection on hLED1 to hLED10 which are full color LEDs mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 (for example, The LED elements that emit red (R), the LED elements that emit green (G), and the LED elements that emit blue (B) that constitute one full-color LED A plurality of check pins (not shown) can be formed as test pads (or through holes) connected to the wiring pattern, and part numbers corresponding to each of the plurality of check pins are not illustrated as silk printing in the vicinity of the plurality of check pins. It is printed in yellow (or black). The plurality of check pins are not coated with a white resist. As a result, when a worker performing an inspection brings a probe (not shown) into contact with the check pin, the probe (not shown) and the check pin are electrically connected to be in a conductive state, and various inspections can be performed. There are also a plurality of check pins that can confirm the contents of serial data to the constant current drive circuit 314ax and the constant current drive circuit 314bx.

  The LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 are formed as a so-called solid ground in which a region other than land patterns and wiring patterns of electronic parts and connectors is grounded to ground (GND). The solid ground formed on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 and the solid ground formed on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 are electrically connected by a plurality of through holes not shown. There is.

  In the present embodiment, electronic components such as a resistor and a capacitor that do not have a white color that reduces the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of a full color LED and a connector that does not have a white color Although the LED mounting surface is not mounted at all because the reflectance on the LED mounting surface is lowered, the area corresponding to the member disposed forward in the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full color LED is the LED mounting If it is difficult to contribute to the reflectance on the surface, electronic components such as a resistor and a capacitor not having white and a connector not having white may be disposed in the region. In this case, an area indicating the position where an electronic component or connector is to be arranged is printed as a silk-screened yellow dotted line (or a black dotted line) not shown on the LED non-mounting surface. Parts and connectors and corresponding part numbers are printed in yellow (or black) not shown as silk printing.

  Since the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 is formed in a slender strip shape having a semicircular arc shape as described above, the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 shown in FIG. 167 (b) is rotated 90 degrees to the left When viewed (that is, in a state where the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 is actually disposed along the dish center upper decoration 312a), the upper end side 314eg1 to the lower end side 314eg2 of the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 The width dimension to the maximum is only about 1.78 times the width dimension from the left end side to the right end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx. Therefore, when the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged parallel to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the upper center decoration substrate 314, the lands of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged. Since the distance between the edge of the pattern and the upper edge 314eg1 or the lower edge 314eg2 of the upper center decoration board 314 becomes extremely short, let's draw the wiring pattern from each lead pad of the land pattern arranged on the edge Even in this case, since the pattern width of the wiring pattern and the distance between adjacent wiring patterns are limited by the minimum distance dimension, it becomes difficult to pull out all the wiring patterns from each lead pad of the land patterns arranged at the end .

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged to be inclined 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314. Adopted the configuration.

  In this embodiment, by adopting such an arrangement, the left lower end side of the four ends of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx is an input as viewed from the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the upper center decoration plate 314. The terminal on the input side is arranged on the door frame side first serial system (light emission data SDAT1, clock signal SCLK1) shown in FIG. ), DC (+12 V), ground (GND), resistances Rr and Rg of maximum current setting circuits 314ay and 314by are input, and the upper left end side, upper right end side and lower right end side are mainly output terminal 1 to output side And the terminals of the output side 1 to the terminals of the output side 3 are the output channels LR1 to LR8, LG1 to LG8, LB1 to LB8, and The door frame side first serial line (emission data SDAT1, clock signals SCLK1) to output the like. The terminal 1 on the output side has terminals to which the resistors Rb of the maximum current setting circuits 314 ay and 314 by are input, and the output 2 and the output side 3 have terminals to which the ground (GND) is input. There is.

  Further, by adopting such an arrangement, two ends of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are inclined 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 of the upper center decoration substrate 314. While being able to arrange as a state, it is possible to arrange as the state which inclined the remaining 2 edge sides 45 degree vis-a-vis lower edge side 314eg2 of the plate center upper decoration baseplate 314. Thus, from the lead pads of the land patterns arranged on the four sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx, the pattern width of the wiring pattern and the distance between adjacent wiring patterns are restricted by the minimum distance dimension. You can even pull out all the wiring patterns. Therefore, it is possible to secure an area in which the wiring (wiring pattern) is drawn out from the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx in the dish upper center decoration substrate 314 formed in a thin strip shape having a semicircular arc shape.

  In addition, by adopting such an arrangement, among the eight full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED8, the group 1 including four full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED4 and four full color LEDs Since the constant current drive circuit 314ax can be disposed between the group 2 composed of hLED5 to hLED8, the length of the wiring pattern from the constant current drive circuit 314ax to the groups 1 and 2 can be extended. Can be formed evenly. As a result, it is possible to prevent the length of routing the wiring pattern to the group 1 and the group 2 from being lengthened or shortened in any one of the group 1 and the group 2, and therefore, the art It is possible to increase the efficiency of the arrangement and routing of the wiring pattern in the work.

  Further, by adopting such an arrangement, when the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 shown in FIG. 167 (b) is viewed rotated 90 degrees to the left (in other words, the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 is on the dish center The constant current drive circuit 314 ax is a full-color LED in a semicircular arc central portion (FIG. 167 (b)) in the LED non-mounting surface 314 y of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314. While the constant current drive circuit 314bx can be disposed on the right side as compared with the portion where the hLED 6 is disposed, the semicircular arc central portion on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the upper center dish decorative substrate 314 (FIG. Group which is controlled to emit light by the constant current drive circuit 314 It can be arranged on the left of hLED8 a full-color LED configured to 2. Thus, it is possible to secure an area for drawing wiring patterns from the constant current drive circuit 314ax to the eight full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED8 in the upper center decoration plate 314 of the plate, and from the constant current drive circuit 314bx It is possible to secure on the dish upper center decorative substrate 314 a region for drawing a wiring pattern to the two full color LEDs hLED 9 and hLED 10.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to the resistors Rr, Rg and Rb of the maximum current setting circuits 314ay and 314by, capacitors (not shown) are soldered to the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314. The resistors Rr, Rg, Rb and capacitors not shown are surface mount type (SMD) having a rectangular planar shape, and so-called EIA type 0805 (designated 2012, horizontal length: 2.0 mm, vertical length Length: 1.25 mm). That is, the sizes of the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb and the capacitors not shown are compared with the sizes (horizontal length: 6.0 mm, vertical length: 6.0 mm) of the constant current drive circuits 314ax, 314bx. Very small. Therefore, the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb and capacitors not shown are different from the constant current drive circuits 314ax, 314bx, and one end of the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb in the longitudinal direction is the upper edge side of the upper center decoration board 314 The capacitor is disposed parallel to 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2. One end side in the longitudinal direction of the capacitor not shown is perpendicular to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the upper center decoration substrate 314. It is arranged as. In other words, each end of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx arranged with the end of the land pattern inclined 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the dish upper center decorative substrate 314 and the resistance They are disposed on the LED non-mounting surface 314 y of the upper center dish decorative substrate 314 so that Rr, Rg, Rb and one longitudinal end of the capacitor (not shown) are not parallel to each other.

  Further, the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged to be inclined 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314, and ten full color LEDs HLED1 to hLED10 as viewed from the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish upper center decoration substrate 314 toward the lower end side 314eg2 of the dish upper center decoration substrate 314 and in a semicircular arc shape of the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish upper center decoration substrate 314 The constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are closer to the upper edge 314eg1 of the upper center decoration substrate 314 when viewed from the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper upper decoration substrate 314 while being arranged with a predetermined distance along the side. A configuration is adopted in which the LED is mounted on the LED non-mounting surface 314 y of the upper center decoration board 314 of the dish. The constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are of the sink type as described above, similarly to the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx of the lower left lower decorative substrate 402b, by absorbing constant current flowing in each LED element. Heat up. For this reason, also in the upper central decoration substrate 314 formed in a strip-like shape having a semicircular arc shape, the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx and the ten full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are separated from each other. The heat generated by the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx can be made less susceptible to the 10 full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10.

  In addition, the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged to be inclined 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the upper center decoration plate 314, the constant current drive circuit The end of the land pattern of 314ax and 314bx is disposed parallel to the left and right sides of the decoration substrate (that is, the door frame top central decoration substrate 455 of the door frame top decoration 453, the door frame top left decoration Compared to the substrate 456 and the door frame top right decoration substrate 457), the one where the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged nonparallel to the left end side and the right end side of the decoration substrate is the decoration substrate The width dimension from the left end side to the right end side of can be further shortened. This can contribute to increasing the distance dimension in the left-right direction and the distance dimension in the front-rear direction of the rendering operation unit 300, so that the large-scale rendering operation unit 300 can be provided in the door frame 3, and the rendering operation unit A light emission effect can be performed by 300.

12-4-3. Genus pad on the bottom of IC package of constant current drive circuit]
The types of IC packages of constant current drive circuits that are the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx of the left side lower decoration substrate 402b and the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx of the upper center plate decoration substrate 314 are flat as described above. It is a surface mounting type having a square shape and is a so-called VQFN. Here, an IC package of the constant current drive circuit 402bax of the lower left lower decoration substrate 402b will be described with reference to FIG.

  The metal pad FP is exposed at the central portion of the bottom surface of the IC package of the constant current drive circuit 402bax, and a so-called exposed pad (hereinafter referred to as "EPad") is formed. The IC package can be soldered to a substrate to enhance heat dissipation and bonding.

  The land pattern of the constant current drive circuit 402bax is provided with a square-shaped land pattern EP for EPad in addition to each lead pad. The land pattern EP for EPad is electrically connected to the solid ground of the LED non-mounting surface 402 by of the lower left side decoration substrate 402 b. Nine thermal vias TV are arranged in a formation grid form in the area of the land pattern EP for ePad. By these thermal vias TV, the land pattern EP for EPad and the solid ground formed on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left-side decoration substrate 402b are electrically connected. Therefore, the wiring pattern from each lead pad can not be drawn out in the region of the land pattern EP for EPad.

  As described above, the constant current drive circuit 402bax is a sink type, and generates heat by absorbing a constant current flowing through each LED element. That is, the heat generation of the constant current drive circuit 402bax is generated from the EPad to the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left decoration substrate 402b and the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left decoration substrate 402b through the land pattern EP for EPad. By diffusing, it is possible to dissipate heat all over the lower left side decoration substrate 402b.

  A brief description will be given of the relationship between the land pattern EP for EPad and the nine thermal vias TV. The junction region where the EPad (metal pad FP) of the constant current drive circuit is soldered to the land pattern EP for EPad is constant current. The number and diameter of the thermal vias TV are selected so as to be 50% or more with respect to the EPad (metal pad FP) of the drive circuit. As a result, the junction area where the EPad (metal pad FP) of the constant current drive circuit and the land pattern EP for EPad are soldered does not become too large and generation of voids is prevented, and this junction area becomes too small and stable. It is possible to obtain a good bonding strength. Although the land pattern EP for EPad can be divided into a grid and formed, also in this case, as described above, the constant current drive circuit as described above in order to prevent the occurrence of the void and obtain the stable bonding strength. It is necessary to make the junction region where the EPad (metal pad FP) is soldered to the land pattern EP for EPad 50% or more with respect to the EPad (metal pad FP) of the constant current drive circuit.

  Further, in contrast to the case where the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are arranged parallel to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b, the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx When the end of the land pattern is arranged to be inclined 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b, the heat dissipation effect to the heat generation of the constant current drive circuit 402bax is high. Become. When arranging the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx so as to be parallel to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b, the land pattern EP for EPad is similarly left When arranging the end sides of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx so as to be arranged in parallel with the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower side decorative substrate 402b and inclined 45 degrees. The land pattern EP for EPad is also arranged in a state of being inclined 45 degrees. When the land pattern EP edge for EPad is disposed parallel to the left edge 402beg1 and the right edge 402beg2 of the lower left decoration substrate 402b, the land pattern EP edge for EPad and lower left decoration substrate 402b The fact that the distance dimension between the left end side 402beg1 or the right end side 402beg2 of is shorter and the distance dimension to the end of the substrate is shorter means that the room for heat dissipation on the substrate is smaller. . On the other hand, the left end side 402beg1 of the left side lower decoration substrate 402b in the case where the end pattern of the land pattern EP for EPad is arranged to be inclined 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b. Alternatively, the distance between the right end side 402beg2 and the top end of the land pattern EP for EPad is a portion where the distance between the top and the substrate edge becomes short, but the two sides in contact with the vertex are not parallel to the substrate edge. Since the room for heat radiation on the substrate is wide, it can be said that the heat radiation effect is high as compared with the case where the edge pattern of the land pattern EP for EPad is parallel to the substrate edge.

  Also in the configuration of measures to reduce the reflectance and the like according to the second embodiment, the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314 are coated with a white resist. As a result, the white resist solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish upper center decoration substrate 314 causes the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 to emit light forward (that is, the upper side of the rendering operation unit 300) It is possible to increase the rate.

  As described above, in the configuration of measures against the reflectance reduction and the like according to the first embodiment, the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left lower decorative substrate 402b includes the part numbers corresponding to the full color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10 and the full color LEDs HdLED1 to hddLED10 are not printed at all as silk printing, and the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center plate 314 of the dish is a full color LED corresponding to hLED1 to hLED10 While the number and the area indicating the position where the hLED1 to hLED10, which are full color LEDs, are arranged are not printed at all as silk printing, in the configuration of measures such as a decrease in reflectance according to the second embodiment, the left The LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower side decoration board 402b -The part numbers (yellow letters and numbers) corresponding to hdLED1 to hdLED10 which are LEDs and the area (yellow solid line) indicating the position where hdLED1 to hdLED10 which are full color LEDs are arranged are printed as silk printing respectively The LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 includes full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 and corresponding part numbers (yellow letters and numbers) and full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10.

In addition, the white resist coated solidly on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 allows the reflectance toward the front (that is, the side facing upward of the rendering operation unit 300) by the light emission of the full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10. Can be raised. For this reason, when the area indicating the full color LED and the corresponding part number and the position where the full color LED is to be disposed is printed in black as silk printing, the LED by light emission of the full color LED by silk printing printed in black.

In the vicinity of this area, the part number corresponding to the connector LDLCN is It is formed as a white resist removing character not shown.

  In the fourth embodiment, the transmittance of the first white resist and the transmittance of the second white resist on the LED non-mounting surface 402 by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402 b are the same. In the first layer white resist and the second layer white resist, light and shade are generated, and the second layer white resist passes through the LED non-mounting surface of the lower left decoration substrate 402b. When the base of 402 by (the copper foil portion and the area excluding the copper foil portion, the same applies to the following), the white resist of the first layer looks pale.

  Also in the configuration of measures for lowering the reflectance and the like according to the fourth embodiment, a white resist is solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 402bx and the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left decoration substrate 402b. Thus, the white resist solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decoration substrate 402b enhances the reflectance toward the front (that is, the front side of the pachinko machine 1) by the light emission of the full color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10. It can be done.

  Further, in the configuration of measures against reflectance reduction and the like according to the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 172 (b), on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decoration substrate 314 on the upper center of the plate, hLED1 to hLED10 which are full color LEDs The corresponding part number is formed as a white resist-extracted character using double-painted white resist, and the area indicating the position for arranging hLED1 to hLED10, which are full-color LEDs, uses double-painted white resist It is formed as a white resist removal area.

Then, the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 is a second area of the double-painted white resist, indicating an area where the full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are to be arranged (arrangement of predetermined pin numbers) For example, the white resist removal region HSLK 7 as a region corresponding to the full-color LED hLED 7 includes a cut-out mark for instructing the arrangement of the fifth pin of the full-color LED hLED 7 HLED1 which is a full-color LED in the vicinity of these white resist removed areas HSLK1 to HSLK10 while being masked as white resist removed areas HSLK1 to HSLK10) in which notches are formed at corresponding positions. LED which is the part number corresponding to ~ hLED 10 ~LED10 is in a state of being masked as white resist outline characters, the whole of the LED mounting surface 314x of the disc center on the decorative substrate 314 is covered by a white resist. As a result, although two layers of white resist are formed on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decorative substrate 314, the whole is covered with the first layer of white resist, and the second layer of white resist is formed. By covering the entire area except for the area masked by the resist, the area masked by the area is recessed as a recess, and the area indicating the position where the full color LED hLED1 to hLED10 is arranged is white resist removed area HSLK1 to HSLK10 While being formed, LED1 to LED10, which are part numbers corresponding to hLED1 to hLED10, which are full color LEDs, are formed as white resist-extracted characters.

  In addition, a region indicating the position where the connector HCN is to be disposed is formed on the LED mounting surface 314x of the plate center upper decorative substrate 314 as a white resist removal region (not shown), and a component corresponding to the connector HCN in the vicinity of this region The number is formed as a white resist-free character not shown. In the fourth embodiment, as described above, the transmittance of the first-layer white resist and the transmittance of the second-layer white resist are the same. When the layer of white resist and the second layer of white resist become dark and light passes through the second layer of white resist, the ground of the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the upper center of the plate is observed. The white resist of the eyes will look pale. This makes it possible to identify the white resist-extracted area in the first layer white resist when looking at the base of the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314 through the second layer white resist. It has become.

  In addition, since a white resist is applied twice on the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center decoration substrate 314, the white resist-extracted characters and the white resist-extracted area in the first layer white resist, and the second resist The refractive index of light of the white resist of the layer changes. As a result, when looking at the base of the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314 through the second layer white resist, the white resist removed characters and the white resist removed area in the first layer white resist are identified. It can be done.

  In addition, the whole of the LED mounting surface 314x of the plate center upper decoration substrate 314 is covered with a white resist. The hLED1 to hLED10, which are full color LEDs, are made of resin of white (the color recognized as the same color as white), and the connector HCN has a white housing (also called natural color, white (natural color) Color) It is made of resin recognized as the same color. That is, the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center decoration substrate 314 is an electronic component having a package of the same color (color recognized as the same color) as the white resist covered (solidly coated) on the whole. A full color LED hLED1 to hLED10 and a connector HCN having a white resist covered with the whole (solid color) and a housing of the same color (color recognized as the same color) are mounted. Thus, in the fourth embodiment, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors (not shown) that do not have white color and connectors that do not have white color are completely mounted on the LED mounting surface 314 x of the upper center decoration plate 314 of the dish It has not been. In other words, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color, and connectors that do not have white color have a decrease in reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full color LED. Not implemented at all.

  In addition, on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314, lighting inspection is individually performed on hLED1 to hLED10 which are full color LEDs mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 (for example, 1 LED elements that emit red (R) light, LED elements that emit green light (G), and LED elements that emit blue light (B) that constitute two full-color LEDs) A plurality of check pins (not shown) are formed as test pads (or through holes) connected to the wiring pattern, and white resist-extracted characters whose part numbers corresponding to the plurality of check pins are not shown in the vicinity of the plurality of check pins. It is formed as. The plurality of check pins are not coated with a white resist. As a result, when a worker performing an inspection brings a probe (not shown) into contact with the check pin, the probe (not shown) and the check pin are electrically connected to be in a conductive state, and various inspections can be performed. There are also a plurality of check pins that can confirm the contents of serial data to the constant current drive circuit 314ax and the constant current drive circuit 314bx.

In the first layer white resist and the second layer white resist, shading occurs, and the second layer white resist passes through the second layer white resist and the LED non-mounting surface of the decoration substrate 314 on the upper center of the dish Looking at the base of 314y, the white resist of the first layer will look pale. Thus, when looking at the base of the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314 through the second layer white resist, it is possible to identify white resist-extracted characters formed in the first layer white resist. In addition, it is possible to identify the white resist removed area.

  In addition, since the white resist is applied twice on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the upper center decoration substrate 314, the white resist-extracted characters and the white resist-extracted area in the first layer white resist, and The refractive index of light of the second layer of white resist changes. As a result, when looking at the base of the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314 through the second layer white resist, the white resist removed characters and the white resist removed region in the first layer white resist are identified. It can be done.

  Also, the resistors, capacitors, etc. mounted on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 do not have white color, and the constant current drive circuit 314ax (314bx) integrated on one semiconductor chip is The package is made of black resin. As described above, electronic components such as a resistor and a capacitor that do not have white color are mounted on the LED non-mounting surface because the reflectance due to the light emission of the full color LED decreases.

  Also in the configuration of the countermeasure for lowering the reflectance and the like according to the fourth embodiment, a white resist is solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the upper center dish decoration substrate 314. As a result, the white resist solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish upper center decoration substrate 314 causes the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 to emit light forward (that is, the upper side of the rendering operation unit 300) It is possible to increase the rate.

  As described above, in the configuration of measures against the reflectance reduction and the like according to the first embodiment, the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left lower decorative substrate 402b includes the part numbers corresponding to the full color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10 and the full color LEDs HdLED1 to hddLED10 are not printed at all as silk printing, and the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center plate 314 of the dish is a full color LED corresponding to hLED1 to hLED10 While the number and the area indicating the position where the hLED1 to hLED10, which are full color LEDs, are arranged are not printed at all as silk printing, in the configuration of measures such as reflectance reduction according to the fourth embodiment, the left The LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower side decoration board 402b While the LED is formed as a white-resist-free character using a white resist that has the part number corresponding to hdLED1 to hdLED10 that is an LED, the area indicating the position where hdLED1 to hdLED10 that is a full color LED is arranged is twice It is formed as a white resist removal area using a coated white resist, and the LED mounting surface 314x of the upper center dish decoration board 314 has a part number twice corresponding to the full color LED hLED1 to hLED10. An area showing the positions where the full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED 10 are arranged is formed as a white resist-extracted area using double-coated white resist while being formed as a white resist-extracted character using the white resist of Difference in that .

  The reflectance to the front (that is, the front side of the pachinko machine 1) by light emission of the full color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10 can be enhanced by the white resist solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left lower decorative substrate 402b. It is supposed to be. In addition, the white resist coated solidly on the LED mounting surface 314x of the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 allows the reflectance toward the front (that is, the side facing upward of the rendering operation unit 300) by the light emission of the full color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10. Can be raised. For this reason, when the area indicating the full color LED and the corresponding part number and the position where the full color LED is to be disposed is printed in black as silk printing, the LED by light emission of the full color LED by silk printing printed in black. The reflectance on the mounting surface is reduced, which causes a problem that the light emission of the full color LED is not efficiently used. In addition, various decorative bodies provided in the door frame 3 (for example, the upper left decorative body 271, the lower left decorative body 281, the upper right decorative body 276, the lower right decorative body 286, and the unit front cover 312 shown in FIG. The upper center plate decoration 312a and the lower plate center decoration 312b, the door frame left side decoration 404, the side window inner decoration member 412, the door frame right side decoration 419, the door frame top decoration 453) are described above Because the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1 moves the head (face) to change the line of sight depending on the direction of the head (face), although the light-colored milky white is formed, the door frame 3 In some cases, the player can visually recognize the LED mounting surfaces of the various decorative substrates provided in the various decorative bodies provided in the above. Then, there arises a problem that the player visually recognizes the full color LED and the corresponding part number having no relation to the game at all, and the area indicating the position where the full color LED is to be arranged.

  Therefore, in the configuration of measures against reflectance reduction and the like according to the fourth embodiment, a white resist-removed character using a white resist twice coated with a part number corresponding to a full color LED having no relation to a game at all for the player The full color LED mounting position is formed by forming an area indicating the position where the full color LED is to be arranged for the player and having nothing to do with the game as a white resist extraction area using twice coated white resist. Making it difficult to find out the white resist removal area (ie, the area that indicates the position where the full color LED is to be placed) indicating the symbol or the number identifying the full color LED (ie, the part number corresponding to the full color LED) Can.

  Further, in the configuration of measures against reflectance reduction and the like according to the fourth embodiment, a white resist-removed character using a white resist twice coated with a part number corresponding to a full color LED having no relation to a game at all for the player The light emitting area of the full color LED is formed by forming the area showing the position for arranging the full color LED having nothing to do with the game for the player as a white resist removing area using the twice coated white resist. It is possible to prevent a decrease in reflectance on the LED mounting surface.

  Also in the configuration of the countermeasure such as the reflectance decrease according to the fourth embodiment, the same operation and effect as the configuration of the countermeasure such as the reflectance decrease according to the first embodiment can be achieved. In other words, a white resist removal area using a white resist that indicates the full color LED identification number (that is, the part number corresponding to the full color LED) and the full color LED mounting position (that is, the position where the full color LED is disposed) Can be made difficult for the player to visually recognize, and a decrease in reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full color LED can be prevented.

  Further, in the configuration of measures against the reflectance reduction and the like according to the fourth embodiment, since the process of silk printing can be omitted for the LED mounting surface and the LED non-mounting surface, respectively, the plate cost of silk printing and production of the substrate The reduction of the number of processes can contribute to lowering the substrate manufacturing cost.

  In the fourth embodiment, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have a white color that reduces the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of a full color LED, and a connector that does not have a white color Because the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the LED is reduced, it was not mounted at all on the LED mounting surface, but in the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full color LED, the region corresponding to the member placed forward is the LED If it is difficult to contribute to the reflectance on the mounting surface, electronic components such as a resistor and a capacitor having no white color and a connector having no white color may be disposed in the region. In this case, an area indicating positions where electronic components such as resistors and capacitors (not shown) mounted on the LED mounting surface are arranged is formed as each terminal (not shown) and a white resist extraction area (not shown). In addition, part numbers corresponding to electronic components and connectors such as resistors and capacitors (not shown) mounted on the LED mounting surface are formed as white resist-extracted characters (not shown).

  In the fourth embodiment, although two layers of white resist are formed on the LED mounting surface and the LED non-mounting surface of the decoration substrate, the whole is covered with the first layer white resist, and By covering the entire area except for the area masked by the second layer white resist, the area masked is recessed as a recess, and the area indicating the position where the full color LED and the connector are arranged is formed as a white resist extraction area And the part number corresponding to the full color LED and the connector is formed as the white resist-extracted character, but the white resist-extracted area and the white resist-extracted character may be formed using other methods. . For example, after solidly coating a white resist one or more times on the LED mounting surface and the LED non-mounting surface of the decorative substrate, a region indicating the position where the full color LED or connector is to be disposed before the white resist dries. Forming a white resist-extracted area by pressing the plate, and forming a white resist-extracted character by pressing a plate showing the part number corresponding to a full color LED or connector, an LED mounting surface of a decorative substrate, A white resist is applied on the LED non-mounting surface once or multiple times, and then the white resist is dried, and then the area showing the position where a full color LED or a connector is to be disposed is set as a white resist removed area Part number corresponding to a full color LED or connector And a method of forming as outline characters.

However, multiple full color LEDs may be electrically connected in series to one output channel. In this case, the number of full color LEDs is two to three. When it is necessary to further increase the number of full color LEDs for one output channel, DC +35 V from the power supply substrate 630 is used as a voltage for lighting the LED instead of +12 V DC from the power supply substrate 630. You may The decorative substrate configured in this manner can be applied not only to the door frame 3 but also to a decorative substrate provided to the game board 5.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the door frame top central decorative substrate 455, the door frame top left decorative substrate 456, and the door frame top right decorative substrate 457 of the door frame top decorative body 453 are the door frame top central decorative substrate 455, the door In the state where the frame top left decorative substrate 456 and the door frame top right decorative substrate 457 are disposed on the door frame top decorative body 453, the width dimension from the upper end side to the lower end side of the decorative substrate is large. The edges of the land pattern are arranged parallel to the upper and lower sides of the door frame top central decorative substrate 455, the door frame top left decorative substrate 456, and the door frame top right decorative substrate 457, but the door About any one decoration board among the frame top center decoration board 455, the door frame top left decoration board 456, and the door frame top right decoration board 457, any 2 decoration boards The end side of the land pattern of the constant current driving circuit, may be arranged so as to be non-parallel to the upper side and lower side of the decorative substrate. Then, the door frame top right decoration substrate 457 directly controls the light emission by the LED constant current drive circuit provided for itself, in addition to the full color LED provided for itself, another right decoration substrate on which two full color LEDs are mounted. The door frame top left decorative substrate 456 may be directly provided by the LED constant current drive circuit provided with itself, for example, the other left decorative substrate on which one full color LED is mounted in addition to the full color LED provided with itself.

  Incidentally, conventionally, there has been proposed a gaming machine provided with various substrates which can be supplied from a power supply from a power supply substrate and can control electric decoration (for example, JP-A-2016-192989 (FIG. 8)). By the way, inside the gaming machine, lines for transmitting power to various boards and lines for transmitting control signals are drawn, and the length of the lines becomes longer, which may cause various boards to be affected by external noise and malfunction. was there.

  Also, conventionally, a gaming machine provided with a front frame configured to cover a window that opens the gaming board with a transparent protective plate at the front and back is proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-192989 (paragraph [0014] , And Figure 1)). By the way, by enlarging the game area formed on the game board, the thickness of the left and right sides in the front frame is reduced, and the decorative substrate housed in the left and right sides is also in the form of a band plate. Further, by providing the display device and the movable body on the game board, the area occupied by the display device and the movable body in the game board becomes large, and the decorative substrate provided on the game board also becomes like a band plate. However, when the light emission control means for controlling the light emission means is provided on the strip-like decorative substrate, there is a problem that it is difficult to secure the area for drawing out the wiring to the light emission means from the light emission control means.

  Also, conventionally, a game machine has been proposed which is provided with a movable combination device which is arranged to stand by below the front of the display screen of the effect display device and which operates at the time of effect (for example, JP-A-2015-058064) Publication (paragraphs [0040], FIG. 4, FIG. 8, and FIG. 9)). A decoration substrate on which light emitting means facing the back surface of the light emitting portion (lens) on the design surface is mounted is mounted in the movable part device. However, for the player, there is a possibility that the player may visually recognize the number specifying the light emitting means mounted on the decorative substrate having no relation to the game at all, the auxiliary line indicating the mounting position of the light emitting means, etc.

  Also, conventionally, a gaming machine has been proposed in which a decorative substrate on which light emitting means is mounted is attached (for example, JP-A-2016-154676 (paragraph [0019], FIG. 5)). The player is provided with an effect having a variation using the light emission effect by such light emitting means. However, when the light emitted from the light emitting means is reflected by the mounting surface of the decorative substrate, the reflectance is lowered due to the number specifying the light emitting means mounted on the decorative substrate and the auxiliary line indicating the mounting position of the light emitting means It was difficult to make the substrate a bright light emitting surface.

[13. Each decoration board to prepare for the game board]
Next, among the decorative substrates included in the game board 5, particularly, the decorative substrate on which the magnetic type pole change detection circuit is mounted will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 174 is a block diagram showing an example of a decorative substrate provided with a magnetic type pole change detection circuit and the like.

  First, among the decorative substrates included in the game board 5, as the decorative substrate on which the magnetic type pole change detection circuit is mounted, as described above, the front stage decorative portion of the back upper left movable decorative body 3310 of the back unit 3000 There is a back upper left first stage decorative substrate 3311 a or the like on which a magnetic back left upper pole change detection circuit 3311 ab for detecting a standby position (original position) of a rotational position 3312 is mounted.

  The light emission data PSDAT1 which is a door frame side serial system serially output from the peripheral control IC 1510a provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 via the panel drive substrate 1720 is input with the clock signal PSCLK1 via the panel drive substrate 1720 via the panel drive substrate 1720. ing. Also, the back upper left first stage decorative substrate 3311 a is electrically connected to the +12 V power supply line of the peripheral control substrate 1510 through the panel drive substrate 1720 and receives +12 V DC, and the ground (GND of the peripheral control substrate 1510 ) Electrically connected to the line. The back upper left first stage decorative substrate 3311a may be configured to be electrically connected directly to the +12 V power supply line of the power supply substrate 630 shown in FIG. It may be configured to be electrically connected directly to the ground (GND) line.

  The back upper left first stage decorative substrate 3311 a includes a back left upper pole change detection circuit 3311 ab, an LED constant current drive circuit 3311 ac, a heat dispersion circuit 3311 ad, and eight full color LEDs 3311 aa (1) to 3311 aa (8).

  The back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311ab can detect a change in magnetic pole, and mainly includes a linear power supply 3311aba, a Hall element 3311abb, an amplification circuit 3311abc, a Schmitt circuit 3311abd, an output current limiting circuit 3311abe, and an FET 3311abf. It is configured as an open drain output.

  The linear power supply 3311 aba is a circuit for generating and supplying an internal power supply to which DC +12 V from the +12 V power supply line is input and used in the back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311 ab. The internal power supply is supplied to the Hall element 3311abb, the amplifier circuit 3311abc, and the Schmitt circuit 3311abd so as to operate. The source terminals of the linear power supply 3311aba, the amplifier circuit 3311abc, the Schmitt circuit 3311abd, and the FET 3311abf are grounded to the ground (GND) line.

  The Hall element 3311 abb can detect the strength of the magnetic flux density, and outputs an analog signal whose voltage changes according to the strength of the magnetic flux density to the amplifier circuit 3311 abc. The amplification circuit 3311 abc amplifies the analog signal from the Hall element 3311 abb and outputs the amplified signal to the Schmitt circuit 3311 abd. The Schmitt circuit 3311 abd arranges the waveform of the signal amplified by the amplification circuit 3311 abc and outputs it to the gate terminal of the FET 3311 abf which is the final stage. The FET 3311abf outputs the logic of the detection signal ULORG from its drain terminal in response to the signal from the Schmitt circuit 3311abd input to its gate terminal. Since the FET 3311abf is used as an open drain output, the drain current to the drain terminal of the FET 3311abf is limited by the output current limiting circuit 3311abe.

  The back left upper magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311ab switches the logic of the detection signal ULORG from HI to LOW when the magnet approaches the Hall element 3311abb and the magnetic flux density in the perpendicular direction to the plane of the Hall element 3311abb becomes larger than the operating point (Bop) When the magnet moves away from the surface of the Hall element 3311 abb and the magnetic flux density becomes smaller than the return point (Brp), the logic of the detection signal ULORG is switched from LOW to HI.

  Incidentally, the back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311ab is arranged such that its Hall element 3311abb is located just below the track of the small cylindrical magnet 3312a in the vicinity of the rotation axis of the previous stage decoration portion 3312 shown in FIG. It is done.

  In the present embodiment, the back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311ab is a small electronic component integrated on one semiconductor chip, and the type of the IC package has a rectangular planar shape (horizontal length: 2 Surface mount type (SMD, height: 1.1 mm) having a length of 1.6 mm and a so-called SOT. Since the back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311ab is a small electronic component, the back upper left first stage decorative substrate 3311a of the previous stage decoration portion 3312 attached to the right side surface of the base stage decoration portion 3311 shown in FIG. The distance dimension (the distance dimension (the In this embodiment, it has about 1.5 mm.) Can be made small.

  Further, since the back upper left movable decorative body 3310 is a small movable decorative body, for example, it is disposed as a sensor for detecting the front stage decorative portion 3312 which is a movable body using a large-sized optical sensor such as a photo coupler. It is structurally difficult to do.

  So, in this embodiment, it is employ | adopted as a sensor which detects the standby position (original position) of front step decoration part 3312 which is a movable body by using back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311ab. Although this magnetic sensor has a large variation in detection as compared to the above-described optical sensor, in the present embodiment, the standby position (original position) of the front stage decorative portion 3312 which is a movable body has variations. Even if there is a gap, this gap is small, and the probability of giving a sense of discomfort to the player is low.

  As described above, since the back upper left movable decorative body 3310 moves in the left and right direction, moves in the upper and lower direction, and the front stage decorative portion 3312 rotates, the operation of the back upper left movable decorative body 3310 In particular, light from various light emission sources (a plurality of light emission sources) provided on the game board 5 may be incident from multiple directions on the LED mounting surface of the back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311ab.

  Therefore, when the above-described optical sensor is mounted on the LED mounting surface of the back upper left magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311ab, light from various light emission sources (a plurality of light emission sources) provided on the game board 5 is disturbance light ( There is a risk of false detection due to light pollution.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the above-described magnetic sensor is employed also for this reason. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection of the standby position (original position) of the preceding decoration portion 3312 by the light emitted from various light emission sources (plural light emission sources) provided in the game board 5.

  In the present embodiment, the optical sensors provided in the various effect units described above are such that light from various light sources (plural light sources) provided on the game board 5 is blocked by other members (or disturbance light) (Because it is weakened to the extent that it does not become (light pollution)), there is no risk of false detection due to the light.

  The LED constant current drive circuit 3311 ac is the same circuit as the LED constant current drive circuit 283 a of the dish lower left decorative substrate 283 shown in FIG. 165 and supplies a constant current to the full color LEDs 3311 aa (1) to 3311 aa (8) And a maximum current setting circuit 3311 ac capable of setting the maximum current of the current flowing to full-color LEDs 3311 aa (1) to 3311 aa (8). It is configured. The constant current drive circuit 3311 ac is the same circuit as the constant current drive circuit 283 x in the LED constant current drive circuit 283 a of the lower left decoration board 283 shown in FIG. 165, and the game board serial system from the peripheral control board 1510 Based on the data PSDAT1 and the clock signal PSCLK1, the constant current is controlled to flow to the full color LEDs 3311aa (1) to 3311aa (8). As described above, since the constant current drive circuit 3311 ac is a sink (suction) type, the constant current drive circuit 3311 ac generates heat by absorbing the constant current flowing to the full color LEDs 3311 aa (1) to 3311 aa (8). Therefore, the heat distribution of the constant current drive circuit 3311 ac can be dispersed by receiving a part of the heat generation of the constant current drive circuit 3311 ac by the heat distribution circuit 3311 ad. The heat dispersion circuit 3311 ad is the same circuit as the heat dispersion circuit 283 c in the LED constant current drive circuit 283 a of the lower left decoration substrate 283 shown in FIG.

  The light emission data PSDAT1 serially output from the peripheral control IC 1510a included in the peripheral control substrate 1510 has the same configuration as the light emission data SDAT1 and SDAT2 serially output from the peripheral control IC 1510a included in the peripheral control substrate 1510 described above. The light emission data PSDAT1 is data for specifying a light emission mode, and is composed of ID information and gradation information. The ID information is information indicating which of the LED constant current drive circuits among the LED constant current drive circuits provided on each decoration board of the game board 5 is to be designated. The gradation information is information indicating which one of the gradation degree 0 (zero) to the gradation degree 127 is to be designated.

  Since the LED constant current drive circuit 3311 ac is the same circuit as the LED constant current drive circuit 283 a of the lower left decoration substrate 283 shown in FIG. 165 as described above, the detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  In addition, while the back left upper first stage decorative substrate 3311 a has eight full color LEDs 3311 aa (1) to 3311 aa (8), and a back left upper magnetic pole change detection circuit 3311 ab, etc. mounted on its LED mounting surface The LED constant current drive circuit 3311 ac and the like are mounted on the LED non-mounting surface. The back upper left first stage decorative substrate 3311a has the above-described configuration of measures such as reflectance reduction according to the first embodiment, the configuration of measures such as reflectance reduction according to the second embodiment, and reflectance according to the third embodiment. One of the configurations of the countermeasure for the reduction and the like and the configuration of the countermeasure for the decrease in reflectance according to the fourth embodiment can be adopted.

  In the embodiment described above, the back left upper base decorative substrate is mounted with a plurality of full-color LEDs (not shown) for emitting light toward the inner wall of the base decorative portion 3311 to which itself is attached. 3311a had mounted a plurality of full color LEDs 3311 aa that radiates light toward the left surface side of the previous stage decoration portion 3312, but made a plurality of full color LEDs mounted on the back upper left base decoration substrate a side view type A plurality of full color LEDs 3311 aa mounted on the back upper left first stage decorative substrate 3311 a may be selected along with selection, and a plurality of full color LEDs mounted on the back upper left basic decorative substrate may be side selected A plurality of full color LEs mounted on the back upper left first stage decorative board 3311a while selecting the view type The top view type of 3311 aa may be selected, and a plurality of full color LEDs mounted on the back upper left base decorative board may be selected on the top view type and mounted on the back upper left front decorative board 3311 a A plurality of full color LEDs 3311 aa to be selected may be selected as the top view type, and a plurality of full color LEDs mounted on the back upper left basic decorative substrate may be selected as the top view type A plurality of full color LEDs 3311 aa mounted on the decorative substrate 3311 a may be selected as a side view type.

  Incidentally, conventionally, a gaming machine in which the rendering operation of a display device or a decoration device provided on a game board is controlled by a presentation control device (control means) has been proposed (for example, JP-A-2016-154676 (paragraph Figure 3 and Figure 22)). By the way, in the game board, there is an environment under strong influence of electromagnetic wave noise, and in the structure of the game board, the environment under the influence of electromagnetic wave noise among various wirings connected with the effect control device (control means) When electromagnetic wave noise intrudes into another wiring through the drawn wiring, there is a possibility that the effect control device (control means) may malfunction due to the influence of the electromagnetic wave noise from the other wiring.

  Also, conventionally, a gaming machine provided with a movable body on a gaming board has been proposed (for example, JP-A-2016-154676 (paragraphs [0067], FIG. 18 and FIG. 19)). The movable body has a detection piece projecting, and the position of the movable body is specified by detecting the detection piece by an optical detection switch provided separately from the movable body. By the way, when the movable body is provided with an optical detection switch to detect a specific position of the movable body, the light is generated by the light emitted from a plurality of light emitters provided on the game board while the movable body is in operation. It becomes disturbance light and is incident on the optical detection switch, which may cause erroneous detection.

[14. Brightness setting of indirect light and direct light]
The base panel plate 1110 and the light guide plate in the surface rendering unit 2600 are a plurality of LEDs arranged in a line from the end face (a plurality of panel decoration LEDs 1130 a for emitting light toward the peripheral surface of the base panel plate 1110, A plurality of LEDs for the first pattern that are lighted and decorated by causing light to be incident from the upper surface of the light guide plate 2601 and a plurality of LEDs for the second pattern that are lighted and decorated by causing light to be incident from the right side of the light guide plate Hereinafter, the light of “LED used as indirect light” is doubled in.)

The various LEDs that are included and other LEDs that are not used for the light guide plate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "LEDs used as direct light") are irradiated as direct light. Therefore, when the luminance of the LED used as the indirect light and the luminance of the LED used as the direct light are the same, the indirect light by the light guide plate becomes darker than the direct light. The player wants to adjust to dark when the current luminance of the various LEDs provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 is too bright, and to adjust it brightly if it is not too dark.

  By the way, various LEDs are mounted on various decoration boards provided on the game board side and various decoration boards provided on the door frame side, and one or more LED constant current drive circuits are mounted. As described above, this LED constant current drive circuit controls the brightness (gradation) of the LED in a total of 128 steps from gradation 0 (zero) to gradation 127 from light off to lighting (maximum luminance) It is something that can be done.

  Further, as described above, the light emission data SDAT1 and SDAT2 serially output from the peripheral control IC 1510a included in the peripheral control substrate 1510 are data for specifying a light emission mode, and are composed of ID information and gradation information. There is. The ID information is information indicating which of the LED constant current drive circuits among the LED constant current drive circuits provided on each decoration substrate of the door frame 3 is to be designated. The gradation information is information indicating which one of the gradation degree 0 (zero) to the gradation degree 127 is to be designated.

  Further, as described above, the light emission data PSDAT1 serially output from the peripheral control IC 1510a included in the peripheral control substrate 1510 has the same configuration as the light emission data SDAT1 and SDAT2 serially output from the peripheral control IC 1510a included in the peripheral control substrate 1510 The light emission data PSDAT1 is data for specifying a light emission mode, and is composed of ID information and gradation information.

The gradation information is information indicating which one of the gradation degree 0 (zero) to the gradation degree 127 is to be designated.

  The gradation designated by the gradation information described above is performed by the display control unit monitoring processing in the peripheral control unit steady processing and the lamp pallet setting processing in the received command analysis processing in the peripheral control unit power on processing described later performed by the peripheral control IC 1510a. It is set. In the lamp pallet setting process, the luminance of the LED used as direct light and the luminance of the LED used as indirect light are determined based on the lamp pallet setting table including the designated luminance value, the normal pallet value, and the special pallet value. ,, Respectively. The peripheral control IC 1510a analyzes various commands from the main control board 1310X, reads out (extracts) the light emission mode generation schedule data from the control ROM 1510b based on the analyzed various commands, and executes the lamp pallet setting process. Then, the gradation information described above can be updated and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a, and during a demonstration (demonstration effect to be performed in the player waiting state) or in progress For example, within a predetermined period of a specific effect, the lamp palette setting process can be executed to update the gradation information set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a.

  Here, the luminance designation values, the normal pallet values, and the special pallet values that constitute the lamp pallet setting table will be briefly described. The designated luminance value may be set to one designated luminance value within a range of 32 steps ranging from the zeroth designated luminance value which is the minimum luminance (turned off) to the 31st designated luminance value which is the maximum luminance. It is possible values, and a normal pallet value and a special pallet value which will be described later in correspondence with the 0th (zero) luminance designated value to the 31st luminance designated value are respectively set in advance. The player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like) operates the operation effect operation unit 301 (rotation operation unit 302, pressing operation unit 303) which can be operated, and the 31st brightness from the first brightness designated value to the maximum brightness One designated brightness value can be set up to the designated value.

  For example, a player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like) is the case where the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated clockwise, and the current brightness is temporarily set to the minimum brightness (turns off). When the first luminance designation value at which the luminance is higher than the value is set, a predetermined equation (for example, linear) is set from the first luminance designation value toward the 31st luminance designation value which is the maximum luminance. While changing the brightness of the LED used as indirect light and the brightness of the LED used as direct light along the tone curve or spline curve tone curve, the rotation operation unit 302 is reversed In the case of rotating clockwise, when the current brightness is set to the maximum brightness, a predetermined equation (for example, the first brightness specified value) from the 31st brightness specified value which is the maximum brightness is set. Linear tone curve, or along the spline curve tone curve), and the LED used as an indirect light luminance changes to low, and brightness of the LED to be used as a direct light. When the player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like) rotationally operates the rotation operation unit 302 to select a desired brightness and press the pressing operation unit 303, the selected desired brightness is determined. In the present embodiment, it is prepared in advance that the player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like) can set the luminance while a demonstration (demonstration effect in a player waiting state) or a presentation is in progress. At this time, the player (or a clerk at a game hall or the like) can set the desired luminance by operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303. In addition, when a player (or a clerk at a game hall or the like) operates the rotation operation unit 302 at a predetermined position of the display area of the effect display device 1600 while a demonstration or effect is in progress, the first designated luminance value A bar-like indicator indicating the position up to the designated luminance value 31 is displayed to visually indicate as an image how much the desired luminance of the player (or a clerk at a game hall or the like) is. It can be done. Further, in the present embodiment, a fourteenth designated luminance value is set as an initial value (default).

  The normal pallet value is set as the gradation information described above for the luminance of various LEDs mounted on various decorative substrates provided on the game board side irradiated as direct light and on various decorative substrates provided on the door frame side. is there. For the normal pallet values, one of 17 steps in 5% steps from the minimum pallet value (20%) which is the minimum value to the maximum pallet value (100%) which is the maximum value is selected, and the luminance described above A mathematical expression (for example, a linear tone curve) in which a pallet value corresponding to one luminance designation is predetermined in a range of 32 steps ranging from the 0th (zero) luminance designation value to the 31st luminance designation value which is a designated value Or spline curve-like tone curve).

  The minimum pallet value (20%) is the maximum pallet value corresponding to one luminance specification among the 32 levels ranging from the 0th (zero) luminance specification value to the 31st luminance specification value which are the luminance specification values described above It is a value of 20% with respect to (100%), and the other pallet values are similarly the 0th (zero) luminance designation value which is the luminance designation value described above (%) described in parentheses Of the 32 levels ranging up to the 31st luminance designation value, this is the value for the maximum pallet value (100%) corresponding to one luminance designation.

  In the present embodiment, the maximum pallet value (100%) is selected in advance for the various decoration substrates provided on the game board side irradiated as direct light and the various decoration substrates provided on the door frame side. Among various decoration boards provided on the game board side, which are set as the gradation information described above and which are irradiated as direct light, a pallet (not shown) for a specific decoration board (an LED that feels dazzling to the player) The value (50%) is selected in advance and set as the gradation information described above.

  The special pallet value is set as the above-mentioned gradation information as to the luminance of various LEDs mounted on various decoration substrates used for a light guide plate irradiated as indirect light. Unlike the normal pallet value, the special pallet value is present in only one step, and is one of 32 steps ranging from the 0 (zero) luminance designation value to the 31st luminance designation value which are the luminance designation values described above. The palette value corresponding to the luminance designation is set as the gradation information described above along a predetermined equation (for example, a linear tone curve or a spline curved tone curve).

  If the luminance of the LED used as the indirect light is the same as the luminance of the LED used as the direct light as described above, the indirect light from the light guide plate becomes darker than the direct light. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the luminance of the LED used as the indirect light is set using the special pallet value instead of the normal pallet value set for the luminance of the LED used as the direct light. To visually recognize the state in which the light guide plate is emitting light by indirect light, the first luminance designation value at which the luminance is higher than the 0th (zero) luminance designation value which is the minimum luminance (turned off). As the lowest possible luminance, the normal pallet value is set to a value substantially equal to the eighteenth luminance designation value in the case where the pallet value is set to the maximum pallet value (100%), and the range from the first luminance designation value to the 31st luminance designation value One of the designated luminance values and the corresponding pallet value are set along a predetermined equation (for example, a linear tone curve or a spline curved tone curve).

  As described above, in the lamp pallet setting process, the luminance of the LED used as direct light and the LED used as indirect light based on the lamp pallet setting table including the designated luminance value, the normal pallet value, and the special pallet value The player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like) operates the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 with respect to the brightness of the LED used as direct light when setting the brightness of each of The player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like) operates the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit with respect to the luminance of the LED used as the indirect light while being set along the normal pallet value corresponding to the designated value The designated luminance value and the corresponding special palette value are set according to the operation 303. Thereby, when the brightness of the LED used as direct light is felt to be dazzling, and the player operates the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 in order to reduce the brightness, the direct light is used as the light. Set the luminance of the LED to be used to the lowest luminance (that is, the first luminance designation value at which the luminance is at a stage where the luminance is higher next to the 0th (zero) luminance designation value for minimum luminance (turn off)) The brightness of the LED used as indirect light is also set to the lowest brightness (that is, the first brightness specification value at which the brightness is higher than the 0th (zero) brightness specification value at which the minimum Also, the luminance of the LED used as indirect light is normally set to a value substantially equal to the 18th luminance designation value in the case where the pallet value is set to the maximum pallet value (100%). Because, the light guide plate lowest luminance can visually recognize the state in which the emission by indirect light is set.

  In addition, the programmer who designs the light emission mode individually sets the brightness of the various decoration substrates provided on the game board side and the various decoration substrates provided on the door frame side separately from the LEDs used as direct light. Even if it does not set, the flow of the effect by the light emission aspect of the various LEDs mounted on the various decoration substrates provided on the game board side and the various decoration substrates provided on the door frame side by setting the light emission aspect according to the flow of the effect After setting the palette value to a small palette value (for example, 50%) usually for a particular decoration substrate that is too dazzled (or a slightly darker luminance can exhibit more rendering effects), By setting the normal pallet value to the maximum pallet value (100%) for the decorative substrate, the balance of the overall light emission aspect can be changed very easily. That is, the player (or a clerk in the game hall or the like) operates the operation effect operation unit 301 (the rotation operation unit 302, the pressing operation unit 303) which can be operated to obtain the maximum brightness from the first brightness designated value 31st Even if one luminance designation value ranging up to the luminance designation value is set, a small pallet value (for example, 50%) corresponding to one luminance designation value is set for a specific decoration substrate. For the other decorative substrates, one luminance specification value and the corresponding maximum pallet value (100%) are set respectively, so that the relationship between the light emission modes set mutually (bright or dark) It is possible to adjust the brightness extremely easily without breaking the relationship.

  Furthermore, although the indirect light by the light guide plate is difficult to adjust the luminance as compared to the direct light, it is different from the normal pallet value for the LED used as the indirect light (that is, a special pallet value different from the ordinary pallet value) The brightness can be set by the Thus, the luminance of the LED used as indirect light is controlled by the special pallet value, and the luminance of the LED used as direct light is normally managed by the pallet value, so the LED used as indirect light And the brightness of the LED used as direct light can be easily adjusted.

  Incidentally, conventionally, a gaming machine has been proposed in which a light emitting means is provided on a rendering member provided on a game board and light emission decoration can be performed using light of the light emitting means as direct light (e.g. (Paragraphs [0021], FIG. 2 and FIG. 5)). However, when the light of the light emitting means provided in the effect member is used as indirect light, the light used in the indirect light is darker than in the case where the light of the light emitting means provided in the effect member is used as direct light. There has been a problem that it is difficult to adjust the brightness of the means and the light emitting means used as direct light.

[15. Game content]
The game contents of the above-described pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 131 and 132. In the pachinko machine 1 described above, the player rotates the handle 182 of the handle unit 180 disposed at the lower right front corner of the front face of the door frame 3 to input the striking force adjustment, whereby the upper tray 201 of the tray unit 200 is input. The stored game ball B is driven into the upper part in the game area 5a through the discharge passage portion 1012 by the discharge rail 544 and the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 in the game board 5, and the game by the game ball B is It is started. The game ball B thrown into the upper part in the game area 5a is either the first game area 5a1 which is the left side of the center member 2500 or the right side of the center member 2500 through the communication passage 5a4 depending on the hitting strength. Any one of the second game areas 5a2 is made to flow down. In addition, the hitting strength of the game ball B can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle 182, and can be hit more strongly as it is rotated in the clockwise direction, and a maximum of 100 game balls B in one minute continuously. That is, the game ball B can be hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

  In the first to third gaming areas 5a1, 5a2 and 5a3 of the gaming area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails 2007 are implanted in the front of the gaming panel 1100 (base panel 1110) with a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions, While the game ball B is in contact with the obstacle nail 2007, the flow-down speed of the game ball B is suppressed, and various movements are imparted to the game ball B. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail 2007, a windmill 2008 which is rotated by the contact of the game ball B is provided at a suitable position.

[15-1. Driving into the first game area]
The game ball B is fired at a predetermined firing force to the upper portion of the center member 2500 (the firing force of the strength in which the game ball B jumps over the upper end of the inner rail 1002 and does not reach the communication passage 5a4). By rolling leftward from the step portion 832a of the enclosure frame 832, it flows from the first game area 5a1 to the third game area 5a3 while being in contact with the plurality of obstacle nails 2007. Then, when the gaming balls B flowing down the first gaming area 5a1 enter the warp entrance 2501 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the enclosure frame 832 of the center member 2500, the warpage 2502 is supplied to the stage shelf 2503.

  The game balls B supplied to the stage shelf 2503 roll on the stage shelf 2503 and move back and forth, and either from the top in the middle in the left-right direction or from the valleys on both the left and right sides of the top It is released forward. When the gaming ball B is released into the third gaming area 5a3 from the central top of the stage shelf 2503, the top is positioned immediately above the first starting opening 2002, so the first starting opening 2002 with high probability Be accepted by When the game ball B is received in the first starting opening 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls B are paid out to the upper tray 201 from the payout device 580 through the main control board 1310X and the payout control board 633. Be done.

  When the gaming balls B rolling on the stage shelf 2503 are discharged from the left and right valleys of the top portion into the third gaming area 5a 3, they flow down toward the starting opening unit 2100. The game balls B released from the stage shelf 2503 of the center member 2500 into the third game area 5a3 may be received by the first starting opening 2002, the general winning opening 2001, and the like.

  Also, when the game ball B flowing down the first game area 5a1 does not enter the warp entrance 2501, it is moved to the center side in the left-right direction by the side unit 2200, and the general winning opening 2001 of the side unit 2200 or the starting opening It may be accepted by the first starting port 2002 of the unit 2100, the general winning port 2001, and the like. Then, when the game ball B is received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls B are paid out to the upper tray 201 from the payout device 580 through the main control board 1310X and the payout control board 633. Be done.

[15-2. Winning to the first opening, lottery of special lottery results]
In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming ball B is received in the first starting opening 2002 (the second starting opening 2004 is also the same), an advantageous gaming state (for example, “ A lottery of special lottery results is generated to generate "big hit", "medium hit", "small hit", "per probability change (certain variation)", "per time reduction (short) time", and a special lottery that has been drawn The result is suggested to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also referred to as a special fluctuation time) Note that a special lottery is drawn because the game ball B is received in the first starting opening 2002. As a result, "loss", "small hit", "2R big hit", "5R big hit", "15R big hit", "per probability change (probability change) per", "time reduction (time reduction) per", "probability change per time short per hit "," There is no chance to change time, "etc. .

  If the special lottery result (first special lottery result and second special lottery result) drawn by the reception of the game ball B to the first starting opening 2002 is a special lottery result that generates an advantageous gaming state, After the lapse of time, the special winning opening 2005 can receive the game ball B in a predetermined opening / closing pattern. In order to enter the game ball B into the big winning opening 2005, it is necessary to hit the game ball B into the second game area 5a2, and therefore, in this stage, hit the second game area 5a2 (so-called "right-handed") ) Are guided by voice announcements or images etc. In this embodiment, it is referred to, for example, “right-handed left route” or “right-handed right route” as to which of the emitting parts 848a, 848b should be aimed at. You will be specifically guided. This is because the ball entry probability to the first receiving port 2006 and the second receiving port differs depending on from which release portion 848a, 848b the game ball B is released to the second game area 5a2. In addition, the driving to the second game area 5a2 will be described later.

  When the game ball B is received in the big winning hole 2005 when the big winning hole 2005 is open, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) from the payout device 580 by the main control substrate 1310X and the payout control substrate 633 Game balls B are paid out to the upper tray 201. Therefore, when the large winning opening 2005 can receive the gaming ball B, by causing the large winning opening 2005 to receive the gaming ball B, many gaming balls B can be paid out, and the player can be entertained. it can.

  When the special lottery result is "small hit", the big winning opening 2005 becomes an open state where it can receive the game ball B for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The opening and closing pattern to be closed from is repeated several times (for example, twice). On the other hand, if the special lottery result is "big hit", a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the big winning opening 2005 becomes open capable of receiving the game ball B, or to the big winning opening 2005 Opening / closing pattern (one opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round) which makes the game ball B in an unacceptable closed state when any condition of reception of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls B is satisfied. Are repeated a predetermined number of times (predetermined number of rounds). For example, "2R big hit" is repeated for two rounds, "5R big hit" for 5 rounds, and "15R big hit" for 15 rounds to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

  In the "big hit", after the end of the big hit game, change the probability that "special hit" such as "big hit" will be drawn ("perhaps"), or change the display time of the effect image that suggests the special lottery result There is a hit that you do ("time hit").

  In this embodiment, the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2002 are until the special drawing result drawn from the start of the special drawing is suggested by the reception of the game ball B to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004. Since the suggestion of the special lottery result can not be started when the game ball B is accepted in the second starting port 2004, the start of the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result drawn earlier is completed. Be done. The number of pending special lottery results pending is limited to four for each of the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004, and for more than that, the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening Even if the game ball B is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is discarded without being suspended. Thereby, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by the accumulation of the suspension.

  The suggestion of the special lottery result is performed by the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600. The function display unit 1400 is directly controlled by the main control board 1310X to suggest a special lottery result. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 causes the plurality of LEDs to blink for a predetermined time by repeatedly turning on and off, and thereafter suggests the special lottery result by the combination of the lit LEDs.

  On the other hand, in the effect display device 1600, based on the control signal from the main control board 1310X, it is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 and suggestion of a special lottery result is performed as an effect image. The effect image that suggests the special lottery result in the effect display device 1600 is a pattern row in which each pattern row is fluctuated and variably displayed in a state where three pattern rows consisting of a plurality of patterns are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. Is sequentially displayed, and each pattern row is stopped and displayed so that the patterns of the three pattern rows displayed in the stop pattern become a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. If the special lottery result is other than "losing", after the three pattern rows are stopped and the respective symbols are stopped and displayed, a finalized image indicating the special lottery result is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and the lottery is made. An advantageous gaming state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) corresponding to the special lottery result is generated.

  In addition, the time which suggests the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (flashing time of LED (variation time)) and the time which suggests the special lottery result in the effect display device 1600 (the pattern row fluctuates and the finalized image is The time until it is displayed is different, and the function display unit 1400 is set to a longer time.

  In addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the effect operation in the effect operation unit 300 in the door frame 3 in the periphery control board 1510 according to the drawn special lottery result. It is possible to perform a player participation type effect for operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the unit 301. In the player participation type effect, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated or vibrated by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation can be assisted, or the rotation operation can be inhibited. The pressing operation unit 303 can be raised and made conspicuous by 367, and the player participation type effect can be enjoyed by the operation of the effect operation unit 301.

  In addition, in the peripheral control board 1510, a light emission effect is provided by appropriately using each decoration board provided in the door frame 3, each decoration board provided in the game board 5, the front effect unit 2600, the back effect unit 3100, etc. It is possible to perform movable effects and the like, and it is possible to entertain the player also by various effects, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest in the game.

  Furthermore, in the player control type player operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 on the peripheral control substrate 1510, when the operation to be operated by the player is mistaken or not performed, the correct operation is performed. Inform the player of that. Specifically, for example, when the pressing operation on the center pressing operation unit 303a is requested, the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b is pressed or the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated, the vibration speaker 354 vibrates or the like. The effect display device 1600 displays that effect.

[15-3. Driving into the second game area (right-handed)]
The game ball B fired with a specific launch force (a launch force of strength exceeding the first game area 5a1) to the upper part of the center member 2500 is a tapered corner of the step portion 832a of the enclosure 832 It rides on the upper surface at the back of the portion 832b or rolls in contact with the inner surface of the outer rail 1001 by centrifugal force and moves to the back of the communication passage 5a4. When the game ball B rides on the upper surface behind the tapered corner portion 832b of the step portion 832a of the enclosure frame 832, it rolls on the upper surface of the enclosure frame 832 of the center member 2500 and enters the opening 848bH of the release portion 848b Or, even if the game ball B rolling while contacting the inner surface of the outer rail 1001 is stalled and dropped in front of the opening 848bH of the release portion 848b, the release portion rolls over the upper surface of the enclosure 832 of the center member 2500 as it is It enters the opening 848bH of 848b. As shown in FIG. 132, the gaming ball B that has entered the opening 848bH of the discharge part 848b is discharged down the inside of the discharge part 848b to the left portion 5a2b of the second game area 5a2. The game ball B released to the left portion 5a 2b has a small ball entry probability to enter the first receiving port 2006 as described above, and a probability of entering the second port or passing through the gate portion 2003 is increased. It is set as such, and winning in the big winning opening 2005 is also relatively easy.

  On the other hand, most of the gaming balls B that have rolled while coming into contact with the inner surface of the outer rail 1001 by centrifugal force and collide with the stoppers 1006 enter the openings 848aH of the discharger 848a. As shown in FIG. 132, the game ball B that has entered the opening 848aH of the discharge part 848a is discharged down the inside of the discharge part 848a to the right place 5a2a of the second game area 5a2. As described above, the gaming ball B released to the right portion 5a2a has a probability of entering the first receiving port 2006 greater than the probability of entering the second receiving port or passing through the gate portion 2003. It is set and can enter the first inlet 2006 early and can be treated in the same way as the out ball.

  Therefore, in the gauge configuration shown in FIGS. 131 and 132, the handle 182 is adjusted to be slightly weaker than the strongest level so that the game ball B tries to enter the release portion 848b from the communication passage portion 5a4, and so the second game area 5a2 It is possible to efficiently and safely reach the big winning opening 2005 through the left portion 5a2b of.

  It should be noted that, when the game ball B that has been hit to the right passes through the gate section 2003, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310X, and the second lottery opening is closed when the lottery result is “normal hit”. The state of 2004 is open for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 to 10 seconds), and the game ball B can be received in the second start port 2004. Then, when the game ball B is received in the second start port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls B from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 X and the payout control board 633 are placed on the upper tray 201. Be paid out.

  In this embodiment, in the normal lottery performed by the game ball B passing through the gate portion 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the normal lottery to the suggestion of the normal lottery result (for example, 0. 0. 01 to 60 seconds, also commonly referred to as fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second start port 2004 normally opens after the fluctuation time has elapsed. As the normal fluctuation time is shorter, the game ball B which has drawn the “normal hit” in the gate section 2003 is accepted by the second start port 2004.

  If the game ball B passes through the gate unit 2003 during the period after the game ball B passes through the gate unit 2003 and the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result can not be started, The start of the suggestion of the normal lottery result is held until the suggestion of the previous ordinary lottery result is finished. In addition, the number of reserved normal lottery results has an upper limit of up to four, and more than that, even if the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003, it is discarded without being suspended. Thereby, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by the accumulation of the suspension.

[16. Various control processing of main control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the main control board 1310X shown in FIG. 151 according to the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[16-1. Various random numbers]
As random numbers used for game control, a big hit judgment random number for use in deciding whether or not to generate a big hit gaming state, and whether or not reach is generated when a big hit gaming state is not generated A random number for reach determination for use in determination, and a variable display for use in determining a variable display pattern of a special symbol variably displayed by the first special symbol display 1404 and the second special symbol display 1406 of the function display unit 1400 A random number for pattern and a big hit random number for use in determining a big hit symbol derived and displayed by the first special symbol display 1404 and the second special symbol display 1406 of the function display unit 1400 when generating a big hit gaming state And the random number for determining the initial value of the jackpot symbol for use in determining the initial value of the random number for this jackpot symbol, the small hit game state A random number for a small hit symbol for use in determining a small hit symbol derived and displayed by the first special symbol display 1404 and the second special symbol display 1406 of the function display unit 1400 when making the display live, this small hit random number A random number for determining an initial value for small hitting symbols, etc., to be used for determining an initial value of is prepared. Also, in addition to these random numbers, a random number per standard symbol determination used for determining whether to open or close the movable piece that allows the second starting port 2004 to receive the gaming ball, and this standard symbol per round determination The random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol for use in determining the initial value of the random number for random and the random number for determining the variation display pattern of the normal symbol variably displayed on the normal symbol display 1402 of the function display unit 1400 A random number etc. for the normal symbol variation display pattern is prepared.

  Among various random numbers used for such game control, while the jackpot determination random number is updated by hardware, other various random numbers are updated by software.

  For example, the jackpot determination random number is directly updated by hardware by a main control built-in hard random number circuit built in the main control MPU 1310a. When the main control MPU 1310 a is reset, the main control built-in hard random number circuit makes high speed presetting based on a clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310 a, using one value in a predetermined numerical range as an initial value. After extracting other values within the defined numerical range one after another and extracting all the values within the predetermined numerical range, one value within the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and the main control Based on the clock signal input to the MPU 1310a, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed. The main control built-in hard random number circuit repeatedly performs such high-speed lottery, and the main control MPU 1310a obtains a value extracted from the main control built-in hard random number circuit at the time of obtaining a value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit It is supposed to be set as.

  On the other hand, the counter for updating the random number per pattern normally is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and the range from the minimum value to the maximum value will be described later Each time the main control timer interrupt process is performed, the value is incremented by one to count up. The counter counts up from the random value for determining the initial value per symbol normally to the maximum value, and then counts up from the minimum value toward the random number for determining the initial value per symbol for normal. When the counter finishes counting up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the random number per symbol normal determination, the random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol is updated. Such a method of updating the counter is called "initial value update type counter". The random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol can be obtained by executing the initial value lottery processing which randomly selects one value from the fixed numerical range of the counter for updating the random number for determining normal per symbol normally. .

  In the present embodiment, the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a shown in FIG. 14 in the processing when the main control side power supply is turned on when the RAM clear switch 1310f of the main control board 1310X is turned on The value (sum value) of the checksum obtained by calculating the sum of the various information stored in the unit as a numerical value and the value of the checksum stored in the main control side power-off process (during power-off) When the main control built-in RAM is cleared except for a specific area, such as when it does not match (Sum value), the main control MPU 1310a has a built-in random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol. Fixed number range of the counter which extracts the ID code from the non-volatile RAM and updates the random number for determination per normal pattern based on the extracted ID code Et always performs initial value derivation process of deriving the same fixed value, a fixed value this derivation has a mechanism to be set. That is, the random number for determining the initial value per symbol normally is designed to always overwrite and update the same fixed value derived based on the ID code by execution of the initial value derivation process. As described above, the value set for the random number for determining the initial value per symbol normally is derived using the ID code, and the non-volatile RAM incorporated in the main control MPU 1310 a by the manufacturer that manufactured the main control MPU 1310 a The first security measure that the ID code can not be rewritten even if the external device is stored if the ID code is stored in the ID code, and the initial value derivation process when clearing except the specific area among all the areas of the main control internal RAM A second security measure that derives the same fixed value based on the ID code by execution and a two-step security measure by the second security measure are prevented from being analyzed.

  Here, an advantage will be described in which the ID code is taken out from the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a, and this taken out ID code is used as a random number for determining the initial value per ordinary symbol. For example, a person who intends to illegally acquire a game ball to be paid out as a prize ball somehow acquires the game board 5 and disassembles it, and an ID code stored in advance in a non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a Even if it is acquired illegally and the timing when the value of the counter for updating the random number per symbol normal determination and the judgment value per regular symbol coincide can be grasped, the ID code is unique for identifying the individual Since the code is attached, it is completely different from the ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310 a ′ provided in the other game board 5 ′. That is, in the other game boards 5 ′, the timing at which the value of the counter for updating the random number per normal symbol judgment and the normal symbol per-coincidence value match is completely different from that of the acquired game board 5. In other words, the ID code obtained by disassembling and analyzing the obtained game board 5 was completely disassembled and analyzed because it is completely useless in other game boards 5 ', that is, other pachinko machines 1'. Even if a momentary stop is generated at predetermined intervals obtained and the gaming ball is allowed to pass through the gate section 2003 of the gate unit 2300 at the predetermined intervals, the movable piece is opened and closed to the second starting opening 2004 Can not generate a gaming state that can be accepted.

[16-2. Main control side power on process]
First, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the main control MPU 1310 a is configured to set a stack pointer at a predetermined address as a default. This stack pointer indicates, for example, an address stacked on the stack to temporarily store the contents of the storage element (register) in use, or the return address of this routine when the subroutine is ended and returned to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for temporary storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked.

  Under control of the main control MPU 1310a, as shown in FIG. 175 and FIG. 176, processing at the time of main control side power on is performed. When the main control side power-on process is started, the main control MPU 1310a sets the RAM access permission (step S10). By setting the RAM access permission, the main control built-in RAM can be updated.

  Following step S10, the main control MPU 1310a performs a power failure clear process (step S12). In the power failure clear process, a wait timer process is performed to determine whether a power failure notice signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310 e is input. The voltage does not rise immediately between the time the power is turned on and the predetermined voltage. On the other hand, when a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs (a phenomenon in which the supply of power is suspended), the voltage drops and becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e as a power failure notification. Similarly, when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure notification voltage during the period from the power-on to the predetermined voltage, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310 e. Therefore, the wait timer process is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes higher than the power failure warning voltage and becomes stable after the power is turned on. In the present embodiment, 200 milliseconds (ms) is set as the waiting time (wait timer). It is done.

  Following step S12, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated (step S14). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear is to be performed when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310f is HI, and determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated. When the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310 f is LOW, it is determined that the RAM clear is to be performed, and it is determined that the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated. In addition, since it is a very short time within the period from the start of the main control side power-on process which is this routine to the determination in step S14, actually, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed. The operator turns on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f.

  When the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated in the determination of step S14, it sets the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16A). On the other hand, when determining in step S14 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated, the main control MPU 1310a sets the value 0 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16B). That is, the main control MPU 1310a is in a state capable of executing the RAM clear process of initializing the RAM (that is, the main control built-in RAM) built in the main control MPU 1310a for a predetermined time after power-on. The RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG described above is stored in a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a (an area excluding the specific area among all areas of the main control built-in RAM). It is a flag indicating whether or not various information including game information related to a game such as a prize ball, and other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter, etc.) is deleted. The value is set to 1 when erasing the image, and to 0 when not erasing the various information. The value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG set in step S16A and step S16B is stored in a general purpose storage element (general purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a.

  Subsequently to step S16A or step S16B, it is determined whether there is an opening operation of the body frame 4 and an ON operation of the setting key (step S18). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a inserts the setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a and a detection signal from the body frame opening switch 4b for detecting the opening of the body frame 4 to the outer frame 2. The setting switch 1311a is set by the first ON operation when the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise from the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a). The key is turned on, and this is performed based on the signal of the setting key ON from the setting switch 1311a. The main control MPU 1310a determines that the main body frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2 based on the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b, and the setting switch 1311a is turned on by the setting key ON signal. While it is determined that the predetermined set value change permission condition is established based on the determination that the main frame 4 is not opened to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main frame opening switch 4b By determining and / or determining that the setting switch 1311a is not turned on by the signal of the setting key ON, it is determined that a predetermined setting value change permission condition is not satisfied.

  If it is determined in step S18 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied, the main control MPU 1310a sets the value 1 to the setting change permission flag CS-FLG (step S20A). On the other hand, when it is determined in step S18 that the main control MPU 1310a does not satisfy the predetermined setting value change permission condition, the main control MPU 1310a sets the value 0 to the setting change permission flag CS-FLG (step S20B). The setting change permission flag CS-FLG is the current setting value (setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a) stored in a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a (a setting value exclusive area in a specific area described later). It is a flag indicating whether or not to permit the setting change of the setting value 1 to the setting value 6 at the time when the first ON operation is performed, and the setting change of the setting value The value is set to 1 when permitting, and to 0 when not permitted to change settings of the set value. The value of the setting change permission flag CS-FLG set in step S20A and step S20B is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a.

  Following step S20A or step S20B, the main control MPU 1310a performs wait time standby processing (step S22). In this wait time waiting process, the system for performing the drawing control of the peripheral control board 1510 is waiting for activation (booting). In the present embodiment, 2.5 seconds (s) is set as a standby time (boot timer) until boot. The peripheral control board 1510 can receive various commands from the main control board 1310 X (main control MPU 1310 a) when the main control MPU 1310 a completes the wait time waiting process. The payout control board 633 completes the boot process in a short time as compared with the peripheral control board 1510 when the main control MPU 1310a completes the wait processing of the wait time, so the payout control board 633 is a main control board 1310 X Can receive various commands from).

  Following step S22, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not a power failure notice signal is input (step S24). As described above, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off or a power failure or momentary stop occurs, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e as a power failure notification when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure notification voltage. The determination in step S24 is performed based on the power failure advance signal. If it is determined in step S24 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that there is an input of the power failure advance signal, the main control MPU 1310 returns to the determination of step S24 again and repeats the determination of step S24 as long as the power failure notification signal continues to be input. A detailed description of the point that the determination of step S24 is performed subsequent to the wait time waiting process of step S22 will be described later.

  In the determination of step S24, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that there is no input of the power failure advance signal, the main control MPU 1310 determines whether the setting change permission flag CS-FLG has a value 0 (step S25). The setting change permission flag CS-FLG is set to a value 1 when permitting setting change of the setting value, and to a value 0 when not permitting changing the setting of the setting value.

  In the determination of step S25, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 when the setting change permission flag CS-FLG has a value of 0, ie, does not permit setting change of the setting value. It is determined (step S26). As described above, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set to a value 1 when erasing various information, and a value 0 when not erasing various information. In the determination of step S26, when the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that the various information is not erased, the main control MPU 1310 calculates a checksum (step S28). This checksum is to calculate the sum of various information stored in the main control built-in RAM as a numerical value.

  Subsequent to step S28, the main control MPU 1310a calculates the value of the calculated checksum (sum value) with the value (sum value) of the checksum stored in the main control-side power failure process (during power failure) described later. It is determined whether there is a match (step S30). If the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S30 that they match, it determines whether the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1 (step S32). This backup flag BK-FLG stores game backup information such as various information, checksum value (sum value) and backup flag BK-FLG value in main control internal RAM in main control side power off processing described later It is a flag indicating whether or not it has been set, and is set to a value 1 when the main control side power-off process has ended normally, and a value 0 when the main control side power-off process has not ended normally. In the inspection step of the manufacturing line of the main control board 1310X, the calculation of the checksum in step S28 and the determination in step S30 when the power of the main control board 1310X is first turned on after manufacturing for inspection. Detailed explanation about, is mentioned below.

  If the main control MPU 1310a determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match in the determination of step S30, or if the main control MPU 1310a determines that the backup flag BK-FLG is not the value 1 in the determination of step S32. When (the value is 0), that is, when it is determined that the main control side power-off process has not ended normally, error display processing is performed (step S33), and an infinite loop is entered. By this infinite loop, the state in which the error display process is finished is maintained, and the game can not be progressed at all, and the pachinko machine 1 is turned off and turned on again. In this error display process, the detailed description will be described later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power-off process has not ended normally when the power is shut off If it is determined, it is determined that the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is abnormal (or it can not be relied upon), and an error display notifying that effect is performed. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

  The pachinko machine 1 is powered off, the main frame 4 is opened to the outer frame 2, and the setting key cylinder is at the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting switch 1311a) By turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 after turning it 60 degrees toward the direction and performing the first ON operation, the main control side power on process, which is the present routine, is started again. The main control MPU 1310a determines that the main body frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2 based on the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b in the determination of step S18 described above, and sets using the setting key ON signal By determining that the switch 1311a is turned on with the setting key, it is determined that the predetermined setting change permission condition is satisfied, and the value of the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is set to 1 in step S20A described above. In order to set, it is determined that the setting change permission flag CS-FLG has the value 1 in the determination of step S25 described above, that is, it is determined that setting change of the setting value is permitted, and setting change processing of step S37 described later Subsequently, in the process of step S38 described later, the specific area is excluded from the entire area of the main control built-in RAM. To release the RAM error by clearing has become possible to proceed a game (hereinafter referred to as "first RAM error release method").

  As a method different from the first RAM error canceling method, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off, and the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f. The main control side power-on process, which is a routine, is started. The main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated in the determination in step S14 described above, and sets the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S16A described above. In the determination of step S26, it is determined that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has the value 1, that is, it is determined that various information is to be erased, and in the process of step S38 described later It is possible to cancel the RAM error and proceed with the game by clearing and removing (hereinafter referred to as "the second RAM error canceling method").

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match in the determination of step S30, or in the determination of step S32, the main control MPU 1310a If the backup flag BK-FLG is not 1 (value 0), that is, if it is determined that the main control side power-off process has not ended normally, an error display is performed in step S33 and the main control built-in RAM is displayed. When it is reported that there is an abnormality (or something that can not be trusted) in the contents stored in, two cancellation methods of the first RAM error cancellation method and the second RAM error cancellation method Can be done by As a result, when it is not necessary to change the setting of the setting value at all, it is possible to release the RAM error by performing the second RAM error canceling method by the RAM clear switch 1310 f.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S32, when the backup flag BK-FLG has the value 1, that is, when it is determined that the main control side power-off process has ended normally, the main control MPU 1310a incorporates the main control as a power recovery time. A work area of the RAM is set (step S34). In this setting, power recovery information is read from a ROM (that is, main control built-in ROM) built in the main control MPU 1310a, and this power recovery time information is set in a work area of the main control built-in RAM. As a result, various information is read from the game backup information, and various commands corresponding to the various information are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control built-in RAM. In addition, the main control MPU 1310a proceeds with the game based on the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. Note that “power recovery” refers to the state where the power is turned on after the power is shut off, as well as the state where the power is restored after a power failure or a momentary interruption, illegal means (for example, a fraudster is in the hem of an arm) Also includes a state in which the main control MPU 1310 a itself is reset after the main control substrate 1310 X is irradiated with a high frequency from the hidden high frequency output device), and then restored.

  Following step S34, the main control MPU 1310a sets the backup flag BK-FLG to the value 0 (step S36). As a result, since various information, checksum values (sum values), etc. are changed by performing various processes thereafter, the main control side power-off process described later is normally ended and the backup flag BK- If the value 1 is not set in FLG, as will be described later, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is cleared except for the specific area.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S25, when the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is not 0 (is the value 1), that is, when setting change of the set value is permitted, the main control MPU 1310a performs the setting change process. Perform (step S37). In this setting change processing, although the detailed description will be described later, the pressing operation portion of the setting switching button 1311 b of the setting changing substrate 1310 Y is pressed based on the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311 b of the setting changing substrate 1310 Y Every time the setting value is changed and displayed on the setting display 1310g, the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a is turned on from the first ON operation to the second ON operation, and the signal of the determination key ON from the setting switch 1311a On the basis of the above, the changed setting value is determined and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a.

  When the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not 0 (is 1) in the processing of step S37 or the determination of step S26, that is, when it is determined to delete various information, the main control internal RAM The specific area is cleared out of the entire area (step S38). Here, the main control MPU 1310a performs this by writing a value 0 to a predetermined area of the main control internal RAM (an area excluding the specific area among all the areas of the main control internal RAM). In this embodiment, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG does not have a value of 0 (is a value of 1), that is, in addition to when it is determined to delete various information, the setting control process is always completed. The specific area of the entire area is cleared (a predetermined area of the main control internal RAM (an area excluding the specific area of the entire area of the main control internal RAM)) is cleared. Here, the "specific area" refers to an area dedicated to the setting value in which the setting value is stored, and counting of the number of balls collected by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5 And an area dedicated to out-of-sphere counting in which results (total number) are stored. The set value dedicated area stores a set value to be changed in setting change processing to be described later, and the out ball count dedicated area is a ball of game balls collected by the out port 1008 counted in a ball count processing to be described later. The count result (total number) of the number is stored.

  The main control MPU 1310a may read and set a predetermined value from the main control built-in ROM as an initial value. Also, when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310 f instructs the RAM clear, the main control MPU 1310 a instructs to clear the various information, when the sum values do not match, or the main control side When the power-off process is not normally completed, the unique ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is taken out, and the random symbol determination per normal symbol is updated based on the taken out ID code. The initial value derivation process is always performed to derive the same fixed value from the fixed numerical value range of the counter, and this fixed value is used to determine the initial value of the above-mentioned standard symbol determination random number for the initial pattern. Set to a decision random number.

  Following step S38, the main control MPU 1310a sets a work area of the main control built-in RAM as an initial setting (step S40). This setting is performed by reading out the initial information from the main control built-in ROM and setting the initial information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. As a result, the game backup information is initialized, and the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter is set (set) to the initial value of 0, for example. In addition, the main control MPU 1310a proceeds with the game based on the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM.

  Following step S36 or step S40, the main control MPU 1310a performs initial value setting and start setting of the main control built-in WDT (step S41). Here, a watchdog timer control register (hereinafter referred to as “the watchdog timer control register” which is incorporated in the main control MPU 1310 a to set an initial value to the main control built-in WDT which monitors whether the operation (system) of the main control MPU 1310 a is operating normally. The timer setting value is set in the WDT control register to start the main control built-in WDT and start timing until the main control MPU 1310 a is reset. When the main control built-in WDT is started, the clocking by the main control built-in WDT is started, and the watchdog timer clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a is started until the timed time reaches the time set by the timer set value. Hereinafter, when the timer clear setting value is not set in “WDT clear register”, the main control MPU 1310 a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. On the other hand, when the main control built-in WDT is started and clocking is started, if the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register before this clocked time reaches the time set by the timer setting value, The timing by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the timing is started again. As described above, the operation (system) of the main control MPU 1310a operates normally by repeatedly performing the process of clearing the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT until the time set by the timer setting value is reached and starting the time measurement again. Can be monitored.

  Following step S41, the main control MPU 1310a performs interrupt initialization (step S42). This setting is to set an interrupt cycle when the main control side timer interrupt process to be described later is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 4 milliseconds (ms).

  Following step S42, the main control MPU 1310a performs serial communication initialization (step S44). Here, various serial input / output ports (for example, serial input / output ports (reception channel and transmission channel for the payout control board 633) and serial input / output ports for the peripheral control board 1510 (reception channel and transmission channel) incorporated in the main control MPU 1310a. In the transmission serial port prescaler corresponding to (1), setting of the communication speed and setting of presence / absence of parity etc. are performed, and in the transmission serial port control register, setting of initialization of the transmission circuit and setting of transmission permission are made.

  Following step S44, the main control MPU 1310a performs test signal output port initialization setting (step S46). Here, in the testing organization of the gaming machine, the test signal output port (not shown) for outputting various inspection information is initialized (set to OFF data output) etc. when the power is turned on.

  Following step S46, the main control MPU 1310a performs start setting of the main control built-in hard random number circuit (step S48). Here, among the various random numbers related to the game, the hard random number control register built in the main control MPU 1310 a for updating by the hardware the jackpot determination random number used for determining whether to generate the big hit gaming state The setting for latching and acquiring the random number is performed, and the activation of the main control built-in hard random number circuit is set in the hard random number setting register. When the main control built-in hard random number circuit is activated by these settings, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another without overlapping at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310a. Once all the values within the numerical range have been extracted, one value within the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and the numerical range predetermined at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310a. Extract one after another without duplicating other values inside. When the main control MPU 1310a acquires a random number (random number value) from the main control internal hard random number circuit, it outputs a latch signal to the main control internal hard random number circuit, and when the latch signal is input The random number (random number value) extracted by the random number circuit is acquired from a hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU 1310 a. The main control MPU 1310a sets the acquired random number value as a jackpot determination random number.

  Following step S48, the main control MPU 1310a performs reservation setting of a command to be transmitted when the power is turned on (step S50). Here, the power is turned on to indicate that the power is turned on (power recovery) based on the power recovery time information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. The power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information output judgment counter notification command are created to be transmitted information as the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM Remember to In the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, various kinds of information are read from the game backup information and various commands corresponding to the various information are stored in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. is there. In such a case, first, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information among various information is completed, the power on state command, the power on main control return destination command, and the power on main prize ball number information The output determination counter notification command is transmitted. These commands are transmitted in the main control timer interrupt process described later. A detailed description of the point at which reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 will be described later.

  Following step S50, the main control MPU 1310a performs interrupt permission setting (step S52). As a result of this setting, a main control timer interrupt process to be described later is repeatedly performed at an interrupt cycle set in step S42, that is, every 4 ms.

  Following step S52, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not a power failure notice signal is input (step S54). When shutting down the power supply of pachinko machine 1 or when a power failure or momentary stoppage occurs, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e to the main control MPU 1310a as a power failure notification when the voltage falls below the power failure notification voltage. Be done. The determination in step S54 is performed based on the power failure advance signal.

  In the determination of step S54, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that there is no input of the power failure notification signal, the main control MPU 1310 performs non-coincidence random number update processing (step S56). In this non-coincidence random number update process, the random number for reach determination, the random number for variation display pattern, the random number for big hit symbol initial value determination, the random number for small hit symbol initial value determination, etc. are updated. As described above, in the non-coincidence random number update process, the software updates random numbers that are not related to the collision judgment (big hit judgment). In addition, the random number for determining a normal symbol, the random number for determining an initial value for determining a normal symbol, the random number for determining a normal symbol variation pattern, and the like described above are also updated by the non-falling random number updating process.

  After step S56, the main control MPU 1310a returns to step S54 again, determines whether or not there is an input of the power failure notification signal, and if there is no input of the power failure notification signal, the non-falling random number update process is performed in step S56. The steps S54 to S56 are repeated. The process of steps S54 to S56 is referred to as "main control side main process".

  On the other hand, when determining in step S54 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that there has been an input of the power failure advance signal, the main control MPU 1310 performs interrupt prohibition setting (step S58). By this setting, the main control side timer interrupt process described later is not performed, the writing to the main control built-in RAM is prevented, and the rewriting of various information including the game information and other information described above is protected.

  Following step S58, the main control MPU 1310a starts outputting a power failure clear signal (step S60). Here, the same processing as the processing for starting output of the power failure clear signal in the power failure clear processing of step S12 is performed.

  Following step S60, the main control MPU 1310a stops, for example, the drive signals outputted to the various displays of the function display unit 1400, the start port solenoid 2404, the adder solenoid 2405, the base monitor 1310h and the like (step S62).

  Following step S62, the main control MPU 1310a calculates a checksum and stores the calculated value (step S64). This checksum is calculated by regarding the gaming information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM as a numerical value, excluding the storage area of the checksum value (sum value) and the backup flag BK-FLG described above.

  Following step S64, the main control MPU 1310a sets the backup flag BK-FLG to the value 1 (step S66). This completes the storage of game backup information.

  Following step S66, the main control MPU 1310a performs setting of RAM access prohibition (step S68). Since the main control internal RAM can not be accessed by the setting of the RAM access prohibition, updating of the contents of the main control internal RAM can be prevented.

  Following step S68, an infinite loop is entered. In this infinite loop, the timer clear set value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a with respect to the main control built-in WDT activated in step S41, and the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT is cleared and clocking starts again. As a result, the main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. Thereafter, the main control MPU 1310 a performs the main control side power-on process again. The process of step S58 to step S68 and the infinite loop are referred to as "main control side power-off process".

  As described above, when the main control MPU 1310 a is affected by electrical noise, the main control MPU 1310 a is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a can not perform the determination of step S54 and can not perform the main control side power-off process. Therefore, when the main control MPU 1310a is subjected to a forced reset by the built-in reset circuit, the main control MPU 1310a is reset without executing the main control side power-off process, and executes the main control side power-on process again. . That is, since the main control side power-off process is not executed, the value (sum value) of the checksum in the main control-side power-off process based on immediately before the forced reset by the built-in reset circuit is not stored. When the power is shut off, the value (sum value) of the checksum stored when the main control side power-off process is executed, and the checksum calculated in step S28 when forced reset is performed by the built-in reset circuit and restarted The value (sum value) can not match, and a check sum (sum value) error occurs in the main control internal RAM without exception, and a specific area is excluded from the entire area of the main control internal RAM in the process of step S38. It will be completely erased (cleared).

  The pachinko machine 1 (main control MPU 1310a) is reset when a power failure or an instantaneous power failure occurs, and the main control side power-on process is performed when the power is restored thereafter.

  In step S30, it is checked whether the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM is normal or not, and in step S32, whether or not the main control side power-off process is ended normally. Is examining. As described above, by double checking the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM, it is checked whether the game backup information is stored by fraud or not.

  When the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is not 0 (value 1) in the determination of step S25, that is, when setting change of the set value is permitted, the setting change process of step S37 is performed. In the process of step S38, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is completely erased (cleared) except for a specific area, and in the determination of step S26, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not 0 (value 1). When it is determined that the various information is to be erased, the process of step S38 erases (clears) completely except for the specific area out of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM. As described above, when the pressing operation unit is operated at the time of power recovery (precisely, when turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f), the setting value is changed and decided When the setting change that can be performed is performed (when the main control MPU 1310a performs the setting change process), the main control MPU 1310a always clears the predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM. This is, for example, when the operation of the game hall is finished when the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is pressed, the pachinko machine 1 is in an advantageous state for the player (for example, probability fluctuation (probability fluctuation) If it is a hit, etc.), it is necessary to delete (clear) the above-mentioned game backup information by the start of the next business, so a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like should use RAM clear switch 1310f. It is necessary to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of In addition, in the case where the setting value is determined to be changed, when the setting changing process is performed (even when the current setting value is maintained as a result, it is obtained by the setting value before the setting changing process is performed). It is necessary to erase (clear) game backup information including various information such as game information etc. from the main control built-in RAM As described above, the setting key is currently set in addition to the change of the setting value. Since it is an important key that allows confirmation of setting values, etc., possession of only a limited person, including the store manager of the game hall, is permitted and limited to 2 to 3. In this embodiment, the setting values Even if the change is not determined, that is, even if there is no setting key possessed by only a limited specific person, the clerk of the game hall clerk or the like needs to erase (clear) the game backup information. Clear switch 13 By performing the power-on of the pachinko machine 1 while the pressing portion is pressed in 0f, thereby making it possible to erase from the main control chip RAM game backup information (clear).

  Here, the point which performs determination of the presence or absence of the power failure alerting | reporting signal of step S24 following the wait time waiting | standby process of step S22 is demonstrated. First, with regard to the problem in the case where there is no determination of the presence or absence of the power failure notification signal in step S24, that is, after the wait time standby processing in step S22, the value of the RAM clear flag in step S26 is determined and the subsequent processing is advanced. Explain the problems in

  As described above, when a power failure or momentary stoppage occurs in the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a and the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off, the electrolytic capacitor MC2 shown in FIG. The charged charge is applied as direct current +5 V for about 7 milliseconds (ms) after occurrence of a power failure or a momentary stop. That is, even if the power from the island facility of the game hall is shut off due to a momentary power failure or a power failure, the island charged with the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as direct current +5 V to make the island of the game hall The main control side power-off process can be completed within a period of about 7 ms after the power supply from the facility is shut off. This is because when a player is playing a game, that is, while performing a main control side main process or a main control side timer interrupt process to be described later, a power failure or momentary stoppage occurs and an island facility of the game hall The main control side power-off process can be reliably completed when the power supply from the above is shut off.

  However, as an extremely rare phenomenon, in the wait time standby process of step S22 at the time of power recovery, the standby time until the system performing drawing control of the peripheral control board 1510 starts up (boots) (boot timer: in this embodiment) 2.5 seconds has been set), and if an instantaneous power failure or power failure occurs immediately before the standby time is reached, the hardware called electrolytic capacitor MC2 is connected to the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a. Charge is charged as DC +5 V, but within a period of about 7 ms, interrupt initialization is performed in step S42, and then interrupt permission setting is performed in step S52. Even if the timer interrupt processing is performed and the contents of the main control internal RAM are updated, the main control side power It may become impossible to complete when processing main control side power-off during the process. For this reason, based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM, the value at which the checksum is calculated is not stored, and the main control side power-on process is started again at power recovery.

  Then, the main control side power-on process is started at the time of the current power recovery, and the wait time standby process at step S22 is completed without an instantaneous power failure or power failure, and then the main control built-in RAM is processed at step S28. If the value obtained by calculating the checksum based on the contents of and the value stored in the main control built-in RAM just before the momentary power failure or power failure occur in step S30, the checksum values should match. Instead, in step S38, all areas of the main control built-in RAM are cleared except for the specific area. In other words, the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated by a staff such as a game hall at the time of power recovery, and it is forcibly stored in the main control built-in RAM even if there is no intention indication by a staff such as a game hall staff called RAM clear. There is a problem that the above-mentioned game backup information will be erased (cleared).

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, a process of determining whether or not a power failure advance signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure advance signal is input, Returning to the determination of step S24 again, the determination of step S24 is repeatedly performed as long as the input of the power failure notification signal continues. Thus, the game can not be progressed. Although the value is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S16A or step S16B before performing the wait time waiting process of step S22, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is, as described above, mainly As stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the control MPU 1310a, the content (game information) of the main control built-in RAM is not changed at all even if the setting of RAM access permission is made in step S10.

  Thus, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, a process of determining whether or not the power failure notice signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure notice signal is input (that is, step If it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power to the pachinko machine 1 is shut off after waiting in the wait time standby process of S22), the process returns to the determination of step S24 again, as long as the power failure notification signal continues to be input, By repeatedly performing the determination of step S24, the game can not be progressed, and various information including game information and other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter, etc.) Can be prevented from being updated, and no change occurs in the calculation result of the checksum. Thereby, when the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X is restarted, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the calculation result of the checksum in step S28 matches the calculated and stored value of the checksum in step S64. Therefore, the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure, which is stored and held in the main control built-in RAM, is not initialized. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game information from being initialized immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs at the time of power recovery.

  Further, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, a process of determining whether or not a power failure advance signal is input is provided as step S24, and when a power failure advance signal is not input (that is, step S22 When the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X is proceeding with the game, if it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power to the pachinko machine 1 is not cut off after waiting in the wait time waiting process, pachinko machine Even if the power supply to 1 is shut off, the power supply from the electrolytic capacitor MC2 to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, causes the game to be played according to the progress of this game and other information Back-up for storing various information including information indicating the value of the information output determination counter) Since the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X can complete the main control side power-off process composed of the processes of step S58 to step S68 and the infinite loop, which are the loop processes, the main control MPU 1310a When the main control MPU 1310 a is restarted, the calculation result of the checksum in step S 28 coincides with the calculation result of the checksum in the backup processing (that is, the calculated and stored value of the checksum in step S 64). Since it is determined that the game information is present, the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or the power failure stored and held in the main control built-in RAM is not initialized. That is, the main control board 1310X can be activated by being restored to the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs.

  Further, immediately after the wait time waiting process of step S22, when it is determined in step S24 that a power failure notice signal is input, the main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT, and the contents of the main control built-in RAM It is possible to start the main control side power-off process again without updating the key at all, but immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, when it is determined in step S24 that the power failure notice signal is not input The main control side power-off process can be reliably completed within the "temporary power failure securing period" of about 7 ms by the hardware. That is, in the present embodiment, when the main control side power-on process is performed at the time of power recovery, a momentary power failure or power failure occurs and the power from the island facility of the game hall is cut off. The charge stored in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the MPU 1310a, as direct current +5 V for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after a power failure or a momentary stoppage occurs. In the case where the main control side power-off process can not be completed within the “instant interruption or power supply securing period” of approximately 7 ms by the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22. In step S24, it is determined whether or not the power failure notification signal is input. If the power failure notification signal is input, the determination in step S24 is performed. Returning again, as long as the remain input power failure warning signal, by repeating the determination of the step S24, so as not be able to perform the progress of a game in.

  Since the progress of the game can not be performed by such software, the step after the step S24 (specifically, the interruption initialization is performed in the step S42, and thereafter, the interruption permission is made in the step S52) Content of main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, main prize ball number information output judgment) by blocking the progress to the control flow of setting and starting the main control side timer interrupt processing to be described later A mechanism was adopted in which it is possible to prevent various information (including information indicating the value of the counter value) from being updated. In this way, when a power failure or momentary stoppage occurs and the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off, the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, main prize ball number information output determination To ensure that the main control side power-off process is completed and the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information, and so on) By dividing the information into two parts, a part to be covered by hardware so that other information (for example, various information including information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter, etc.) is not changed at all , The contents of the main control built-in RAM (gaming information and various information including other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter, etc.)) are surely prevented from being changed So that the can.

  Next, the point will be described where reservation setting of a command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is performed in step S50. In step S50, as described above, based on the power recovery time information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, the power is turned on (power recovery) To communicate, create a power on state command classified as power on, a power on main control return destination command, and a power on main notification ball number information output judgment counter notification command and send it as main information with built-in main control It is stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM. The power-on main control return destination command is mainly composed of information instructing the driving state of the start port solenoid 2404 and information instructing the driving state of the attacker solenoid 2405. Here, first, the problem in the case where the power-on main control return destination command does not include the information for instructing the driving state of the start port solenoid 2404 and the information for instructing the driving state of the attacker solenoid 2405, that is, A problem will be described in the case where reservation setting of a command to be transmitted when power is turned on at the time of power on at the time of power on is not performed in step S50.

  For example, when the peripheral control board 1510 controls the display of the big hit gaming state screen (for example, a big hit gaming effect screen) in the display area of the effect display device 1600, the main control board 1310X drives the attacker solenoid 2405. When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs when the special winning opening 2005 is opened by the opening / closing member and the power is restored after that, the main control board 1310 X performs main control in setting the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34 Based on the power recovery time information set in the work area of the built-in RAM, the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs is restored to start driving the attacker solenoid 2405, and the special winning opening 2005 opens and closes. It will shift to the state open from the state closed by the member.

  However, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, the peripheral control substrate 1510 receives various commands from the main control substrate 1310X and recovers at the time of power recovery, so a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. Thereafter, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the probability and the time saving state instructed by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310X at the time of power recovery. However, when the main control board 1310X generates a big hit gaming state as a gaming state, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and then when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 receives the main power control board 1310X at the time of power recovery. Even if the screen can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state instructed by the power-on state command received from the big hit gaming state I can not show at all which round of. That is, for example, a game winning ball 1 enters a large winning opening 2005 and is detected by the large winning opening sensor 2403, and the large winning opening 1 count display command for conveying the number of gaming balls entering the large winning opening 2005 is a main control board Even if 1310X transmits to peripheral control board 1510 and peripheral control board 1510 receives, peripheral control board 1510 produces the ball number of the game ball that entered the big winning opening 2005 on the screen according to the probability and the time saving state. Although it can be displayed in the display area of the display device 1600, it can not be displayed at all which round of the jackpot gaming state (that is, how many rounds it is).

  In such a situation, when the main control board 1310 X finishes, for example, 4 rounds of the big hit gaming state (the fourth round), the driving of the attachment solenoid 2405 is stopped and the big winning opening 2005 is opened by the opening and closing member From the main control board 1310 X to the peripheral winning control board 1510 from the main control board 1310 X a large winning opening 1 closing display command instructing to shift to the closed state (that is, start closing the round between the big winning port 2005 of the attacker unit 2100). When the main control board 1310X starts the 5 round (5th round) of the big hit gaming state, it starts to drive the attachment solenoid 2405 and opens the state where the big winning opening 2005 is closed by the opening / closing member. To shift to the state of being To send a special winning opening open the fifth display command instructing the open start) of the command from the main control board 1310X to the peripheral control board 1510. Accordingly, the peripheral control board 1510 switches the screen of the start of the 5 rounds of the big hit gaming state from the screen according to the probability and the time saving state described above, and displays the screen in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

  In addition, for example, the game state where the game ball can be accepted to the second start port 2004 becomes a game state that informs the player that the game state is advantageous (for example, the player that the movable piece is open The main control board 1310 X drives the start port solenoid 2404 to open the movable piece and causes the second start port to open when the peripheral control board 1510 displays and controls the screen to be transmitted to the display area of the effect display device 1600. When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs when the status 2004 is open, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310X sets the work area of the main control internal RAM in step S34. Based on the power recovery time information set in the work area, the game state is restored to the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure, thereby starting the driving of the starting opening solenoid 2404 and moving the movable piece And thus the transition to the state for closing the second start hole 2004 by closing operation.

  However, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, the peripheral control substrate 1510 receives various commands from the main control substrate 1310X and recovers at the time of power recovery, so a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. Thereafter, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310X at the time of power recovery. However, when the main control board 1310X is in the gaming state and the gaming ball is in the gaming state in which the gaming ball can be received to the second start port 2004 and the gaming state advantageous to the player is generated, a momentary stop or power failure occurs. When the power is restored after that, the peripheral control board 1510 displays the screen according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state instructed by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310X at the time of power recovery. Even if it is possible to display in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and return, it is a gaming state where the gaming ball can be accepted to the second start port 2004 and a gaming state advantageous to the player is realized. The peripheral control board 1510 can not display the screen to be transmitted on the display area of the effect display device 1600 at all. Therefore, the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine is surprised that a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and the gaming ball receives the second starting port 2004 immediately before the momentary power failure or a power failure occurs at the time of power recovery. In some cases, it may be forgotten that it is a possible gaming state, and in such a case, the gaming state is restored to the second starting port 2004 as a gaming state at the time of power recovery. In spite of that, the screen for instructing a game in the display area of the effect display device 1600 at the time of power recovery (that is, the screen for instructing a game of entering a game ball into the second starting port 2004) is not displayed. There was also a problem that the player would not understand what kind of game they played.

  As described above, in the two examples described above, there has been a problem that the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure can not be promptly returned after power recovery. In other words, the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine misunderstands that the system of the pachinko machine appears to be in a frozen state, a so-called frozen state, and breaks down when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs. There was a problem that.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 X is powered on (including power recovery as well as power recovery, power failure occurs due to power failure or momentary power failure), the power on status command In order to transmit the power on main control return destination command to the peripheral control board 1510, the power on state command classified as power on in step S50, the power on main control return destination command, and the power on A main notification ball number information output judgment counter notification command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. These commands are transmitted in the main control timer interrupt process described later.

  Thus, for example, in the above-described example, in the fourth round of the jackpot gaming state, the peripheral control board 1510 is based on the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command received from the main control board 1310X. When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310X starts being driven by the attachment solenoid 2405 as a return destination of the main control board 1310, and the big winning opening 2005 is released from being closed by the opening / closing member. The peripheral control board 1510 can notify the peripheral control board 1510 that it should shift to the state, so the peripheral control board 1510 is a screen specifying that it is the fourth round of the big hit gaming state (that is, a screen showing how many rounds it is) Can not be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600, but it is a jackpot gaming state and A screen to start driving the 2405 to indicate that the big winning opening 2005 is open by the opening and closing member (for example, "It is a big hit. The big winning opening is open. Enter the game ball in the big winning opening The game of “Please play the game so that the ball is played.” Is displayed on the display area of the effect display device 1600) to the player and the player who sits on the front of the pachinko machine has a big winning opening 2005 Can be instructed to enter a game ball into the game ball, and, for example, in the above-described example, the game state becomes an acceptable game state in which the game ball can be received to the second starting port 2004 and a game state advantageous to the player In this state, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs, and then the power is restored, the start port solenoid 2404 starts driving to open the movable piece as the return destination of the main control board 1310X. Make a screen to indicate that the second start opening 2004 has been opened (for example, "The movable piece is open. Please play the game so that the game ball enters the second start opening ) Is displayed on the display area of the effect display device 1600 by the peripheral control board 1510 displaying a message of “.” To the player, and the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine returns to the second starting port 2004 after power recovery. Can be instructed to enter a game.

  As a result, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs and the power is restored after that, the return destination of the peripheral control board 1510 can be finely instructed on the main control board 1310 X side. Therefore, the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure can be promptly returned after power recovery. In other words, the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine misunderstands that the system of the pachinko machine appears to be in a frozen state, a so-called frozen state, and breaks down when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs. Can be prevented.

  Next, in the main control board inspection step, which is an inspection step of a manufacturing line of the main control board 1310X, when the main control board 1310X is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, the checksum of step S28 The calculation and the determination of step S30 will be described. In the main control board inspection step, when the main control board 1310X is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, a main composed of the processing of step S58 to step S68 which is the backup processing described above and an infinite loop Since the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X is not executing the control side power-off process at one time, even if the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM is calculated in step S28, In the comparison determination, there is no possibility that the values of the checksums will match, and it is always cleared except for a specific area out of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM in step S38.

  As a result, when the reservation setting of the command to be sent at the time of power on is performed in step S50, the power on state command classified as power on, power on main control return destination command, and power on main prize ball number information By creating an output judgment counter notification command and storing it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM, the power on status command, power on main control return destination command, and power on main prize ball Only three commands, ie, the number information output judgment counter notification command, are stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM. Then, in the main control side timer interrupt process described later, these commands are first sent a power on status command, then a power on primary control return destination command is sent, and then the power on main notification ball number An information output determination counter notification command is to be transmitted. Using this, in the main control board inspection process, when the main control board 1310X is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, the power on state command is given from the main control board 1310X as the first command. It will be sent to the inspection device of the main control board inspection process.

  By the way, in the power-on state command, the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated when the power is turned on (in addition to power-on, it also includes power-on recovery due to power failure or momentary power failure). Information to instruct that when performing RAM clear and the above mentioned at power on (In addition to power on, it also includes power recovery when power failure occurs due to power failure or momentary power failure). Information indicating which state (probability and time saving state) to recover from among the low probability time saving state, high probability time saving state, low probability non-time saving state, and high probability non-time saving state, and model code of pachinko machine And information to be shown. Here, the problem in the case where the power-on state command does not include the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine will be described.

  When creating a so-called max type, middle type, sweet digital type as pachinko machine 1 (precisely, the main control board 1310X), the model code of the pachinko machine is for which copyright of the work, In addition to the game specification that the game specification is continued until the next big hit game state occurs when the game specification (for example, probability fluctuation occurs, the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol is limited (for example, 30 times or 70 times) It is possible to specify whether it is a game specification (so-called ST machine etc.) or the like) in which probability fluctuations occur in the state of

  In the manufacturing line of the maker who manufactures the pachinko machine 1, when manufacturing the main control substrate 1310X, there are cases where the main control substrate 1310X for the copyright of a plurality of types of works coexist. Then, the worker of the production line is the master of the copyright of any work among the copyrights of a plurality of kinds of works (for example, the copyright of works such as movie A, movie B, drama C, movie D, cartoon E, and cartoon F). In order to manufacture the control board 1310X, it is not clear that the main control board 1310X is flowing to the manufacturing line, or the main control board for one copyright (for example, the copyright of the work of movie D) among copyrights of multiple types of works Although the main control board 1310X is flowing to the manufacturing line to manufacture 1310X, the main control board 1310X is used to manufacture the main control board 1310X for another copyright (for example, the copyright of the work of cartoon F) There are also misconceptions and misconceptions that flow to the manufacturing line.

  For this reason, when manufacturing the main control board 1310X in the manufacturing line of the maker that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control board 1310X for the copyright of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the worker of the manufacturing line It is not possible to confirm to which work copyright the manufactured main control board 1310X belongs, and which model type (max type, middle type, sweet digital type, etc.) for the same work copyright It is also impossible to confirm whether it is a type, and what game specifications (a game specification or a ST machine in which, when probability fluctuations occur, the state is continued until a next big hit gaming state occurs).

  Thereby, when manufacturing main control substrate 1310X in a manufacturing line of a manufacturer who manufactures pachinko machine 1, when main control substrate 1310X for copyrights of plural types of works is mixed, main control substrate for copyrights of plural types of works It will be sent to the game board assembly line for attaching the main control board 1310X to the game board 5 while 1310X is mixed. For this reason, a worker of the game board assembly line may attach the main control board 1310X, which does not correspond to the game board 5 to the copyright of the work, to the game board 5. As a result, there is a problem that the production efficiency of the game board 5 is reduced.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310X is powered on (including power recovery due to power failure due to power failure or momentary power failure, in addition to power on), the model code of the pachinko machine To transmit to the peripheral control board 1510 the power-on state command including the information indicating the power-on state in step S50, the power-on state command divided into the power-on, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on A main notification ball number information output judgment counter notification command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. These commands are transmitted in the main control timer interrupt process described later.

  As a result, the operator of the manufacturing line of the manufacturer who manufactures the pachinko machine 1 turns on the main control board 1310 X in the main control board inspection step which is the inspection step of the manufacturing line, and the inspection apparatus becomes the main control board 1310 X Based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine that is included in the power-on state command received from the device, that is, the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine is configured. And the sweet digital type, the serial code for specifying which type, the copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and the game specification (for example, when probability fluctuation occurs, the next big hit game state is In addition to the game specification that the state is continued until it occurs, the probability change in the state that the number of times of the change of the special symbol is limited By looking at detailed model information displayed on the inspection monitor based on the game specification code for specifying the game specification (ST machine etc.) that It is possible to determine whether it is a product, and also to which model type (max type, middle type, or sweet digital type, which type) the copyright of the same work, and what kind of game It is also possible to determine whether it is a specification (a game specification or ST machine in which when probability change occurs, the state is continued until a next big hit gaming state occurs).

  As a result, when manufacturing the main control board 1310X in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, even if the main control board 1310X for the copyright of multiple types of works coexists, the main control board inspection process of the manufacturing line The operator can visually distinguish the main control board 1310X for the copyright of the work by being able to accurately determine the model type of the main control board 1310X, the copyright of the work, and the game specifications by visually observing the inspection monitor. It can be sent to the game board assembly line. Then, the operator of the game board assembly line can securely attach the main control board 1310X corresponding to the game board 5 for the copyright of the work to the game board 5, and the main control board not compatible with the game board 5 for the copyright of the work It is possible to prevent a decrease in production efficiency of the game board 5 caused by an operation of attaching the 1310X to the game board 5. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of the production efficiency of the game board 5.

16-3. Main control timer interrupt processing]
Next, the main control timer interrupt process will be described. The main control timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (4 ms in the present embodiment) set in the main control power-on process shown in FIGS.

  When the main control timer interrupt process is started, the main control MPU 1310a switches the register bank as shown in FIG. 177 (step S100). The general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a has two register banks including a first register bank and a second register bank. The first register bank is used in the main control main process in the main control side power-on process described above, while the second register bank is used in the main control timer interrupt process which is this routine. In step S100, in order to use the second register bank in the main control side timer interrupt process which is this routine, the first register bank used in the main control main process in the main control side power on process is selected from the first register bank Switch the register bank to the register tank of. In the present embodiment, when the main control timer interrupt process, which is this routine, is started, the process of saving each register to the stack is not necessary.

  Following step S100, the main control MPU 1310a performs timer subtraction processing (step S102). In this timer subtraction process, for example, the first special symbol display 1404 and the second special symbol display 1406 of the function display unit 1400 are lighted in accordance with the special symbol to be described later and the variable display pattern determined in the special electric character control process. In addition to the time when the normal symbol display 1402 of the function display unit 1400 lights up in accordance with the normal symbol and the normal symbol variation display pattern determined by the normal symbol and normal motor combination control processing described later, the main control board 1310X (main control MPU 1310a) The time such as the ACK signal input judgment time set as the judgment condition when judging whether or not the payer ACK signal notifying that the payout control board 633 has normally received the various commands transmitted by is judged as the judgment condition Manage. Specifically, when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is 5 seconds, the timer interruption period is set to 4 ms, so the fluctuation time is subtracted by 4 ms each time this timer subtraction processing is performed. When the subtraction result becomes 0, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is accurately measured. It should be noted that, for those whose subtraction result has become the value 0, further subtraction is not performed in the timer subtraction process even if the next main routine is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the ACK signal input determination time is set to 100 ms. Each time the timer subtraction processing is performed, the ACK signal input determination time is reduced by 4 ms, and when the subtraction result becomes 0, the ACK signal input determination time is accurately counted. The various times and the ACK signal input determination time are stored as time management information in the time management information storage area of the main control built-in RAM.

  Following step S102, the main control MPU 1310a performs switch input processing (step S104). In this switch input process, various signals input to input terminals of various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Specifically, for example, the main control MPU 1310 a detects a detection signal from the gate sensor 2401, a detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 3001, and a detection from the first starting opening sensor main side 3002 a constituting the first starting opening sensor 3002. Signal, detection signal from the first starting opening sensor slave side 3002 b constituting the first starting opening sensor 3002, detection signal from the second starting opening sensor 2402, detection signal from the special winning opening sensor 2403, first receiving sensor Detection signal from 2406, detection signal from magnetic sensor 3003, operation signal from RAM clear switch 1310f (RAM clear signal), detection signal from door frame opening switch 4a, detection signal from main frame opening switch 4b, setting switch A signal from 1311a, a signal from setting switching button 1311b, out-port left sensor 100 a payout ACK from the payout control board 633 which indicates that the payout control board 633 has normally received the detection signal from “a”, the detection signal from the out-port right sensor 1008 b, and the prize ball command transmitted in the prize ball control processing described later. The signals are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the main control internal RAM. Also, when the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 3002 and the detection signal from the second starting opening sensor 2402 are read respectively, the starting opening winning command divided into the other corresponding to this is used as the transmission information in the main control built-in RAM. It stores in the transmission information storage area. That is, when there is a detection signal from the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 3002, the corresponding starting opening winning command is stored as the transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and the second start When there is a detection signal from the mouth sensor 2402, the corresponding starting mouth winning command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM.

  In the present embodiment, when the switch input process is started in the state (including the case where the vacant terminal process is performed) being input to all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a. First, each reading is performed as a first reading, and after a predetermined time (for example, 10 μs) has elapsed, reading is performed again as a second reading. Then, the result of the second reading is compared with the result of the first reading. Among the comparison results, it is determined whether there is one that is the same result. If the result is not the same, the result is further read again as the third time, and the result of the third read is compared with the result of the second read. Among the comparison results, it is determined again whether or not there is the same result. If the result is not the same, it is read again as the fourth time, and the result of the fourth read is compared with the result of the third read. Among the comparison results, it is determined again whether or not there is the same result. The same result is treated as having no game ball entered or ignoring the input.

  As described above, in the switch input process, the states (including those subjected to the idle terminal process) input to all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a are repeated from the first time to the third time. Therefore, false reading due to the influence of chattering or noise can be avoided by performing two readings, ie, two readings to compare and two readings comparing to the second to fourth times. The detection signal from the gate sensor 2401, the detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 3001, the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a constituting the first starting opening sensor 3002, the first A detection signal from the first starting opening sensor slave side 3002 b constituting the starting opening sensor 3002, a detection signal from the second starting opening sensor 2402, a winning prize opening set A detection signal from the sensor 2403, a detection signal from the first receiving sensor 2406, a detection signal from the magnetic sensor 3003, an operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310f, a detection signal from the door frame open switch 4a; Detection signal from the main frame opening switch 4b, signal from the setting switch 1311a, signal from the setting switching button 1311b, detection signal from the out-port left sensor 1008a, detection signal from the out-port right sensor 1008b, prize sphere control described later It is possible to improve the reliability of the payer ACK signal from the payout control board 633 which indicates that the payout control board 633 has normally received the winning balls command transmitted in the process.

  Following step S104, the main control MPU 1310a performs an input terminal failure monitoring process (step S105). In this input terminal malfunction monitoring processing, among the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a, the status of the terminal subjected to idle terminal processing is performed based on the information acquired in the switch input processing of step S104. Specifically, for example, since the input terminal PA7 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a is grounded to the ground (GND) as free terminal processing, the logic state is always LOW. Therefore, in the input terminal failure monitoring process, the information acquired in the switch input process in step S104 is whether the logical state of the input terminal subjected to the vacant terminal process among the input terminals of various input ports is LOW or not. Do based on When the main control MPU 1310a determines that the logic state of the input terminal subjected to the free terminal processing is not LOW, it is classified into a notification display notifying that a fault is occurring in the peripheral circuit of the main control MPU 1310a. The trouble command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM.

  Subsequent to step S105, the main control MPU 1310a performs a true random number update process (step S106). In this success random number update process, the above-mentioned random number for big hit symbols and the random number for small hit symbols are updated. Moreover, in addition to these random numbers, random numbers for jackpot symbol initial value determination updated in the non-incident random number update process of step S56 in the main control side power-on process (main control side main process) shown in FIG. And the random number for the initial value decision for small hitting design is renewed. The random number for determining the initial value for the big hit symbol and the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol are further improved in the main control side main processing and the main control side timer interrupt processing by being updated in randomness. . On the other hand, since the big hit symbol random number and the small hit symbol random number are random numbers involved in the hit determination (big hit determination), each counter counts up only when the hit random number update processing is performed. In addition, the random number per normal symbol determination described above and the random number per normal symbol determination initial value determination random number are also updated by this success random number update processing.

  For example, as described above, the counter for updating the random number per pattern determination is an initial value updating type counter, and is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and this minimum value Is incremented by one each time the main control timer interrupt process is performed. The symbol is counted up from the random number for determining the initial value for determining the normal pattern to the maximum value, and then it is counted up from the minimum value toward the random number for determining the initial value for determining the normal pattern. When the counter has counted up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the random number per symbol normal determination, the random number for big hit determination is updated by this success random number update process. The random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol can be obtained by executing the initial value lottery processing which randomly selects one value from the fixed numerical range of the counter for updating the random number for determining normal per symbol normally. .

  In this embodiment, the big hit symbol initial value determining random number and the small hit symbol initial value determining random number are not displayed in step S56 in the main control side power-on process (main control side main process) shown in FIG. 176. Although updating is performed in the current random number update processing and the main control side timer interrupt processing that is the main routine in step S106 in the main control side timer interrupt processing, the processing time of the present routine is uneven every time the interrupt timer is generated. If the number of executions of the non-match random number update process in step S56 becomes random by repeatedly executing the main control side main process within the remaining time until the generation of the interrupt timer, the random number for determining the initial value of the jackpot symbol And as a mechanism to update the random number for the initial value determination for small hit symbols only in the non-falling random number update process in step S56. .

  Following step S106, the main control MPU 1310a performs ball number counting processing (step S107). In this ball counting process, input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and a detection signal from the out-port left sensor 1008a is input based on the input information, and a game area 5a is sectioned in the game board 5 When the out-port left sensor 1008a detects a game ball collected by the out-port 1008 provided in the, the value of the collected-ball counter that counts the number of balls of the game ball recovered by the out-port 1008 is 1 In addition to performing (incrementing) calculation, the detection signal from the out-port right sensor 1008 b is input, and the game ball collected by the out-port 1008 provided in the game area 5 a formed in the game board 5 is out-out When the right sensor 1008 b detects it, it counts the number of balls of the game balls collected by the out port 1008. The value of the recovered ball counter adds the value 1 (increments) performs computation. That is, in the ball number counting process, when the out-port left sensor 1008 a detects the gaming ball recovered by the out-port 1008 and the out-port right sensor 1008 b detects the gaming ball recovered by the out-port 1008 The value of 2 is added to the value of the recovery ball counter. The main control MPU 1310a sets the value of the collection ball counter, which is the calculation result, as the counting result (total number) of the number of gaming balls collected by the out port 1008, to the out ball counting dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. While storing, the output of the lighting signal displayed on the base monitor 1310 h is set, and stored in the output information storage area as output information. Further, the main control MPU 1310a creates a ball collection command to notify that effect when the value of the collection ball counter is divisible by 10, that is, whenever the number of gaming balls collected at the out port 1008 reaches 10 balls. And stores it as transmission information in the output information storage area. When the main control MPU 1310a reaches the maximum value (in the present embodiment, the value 65535) of the value of the recovery ball counter which is the calculation result, and further increments (increments) the value of the recovery ball counter by the value 1, the recovery ball The value of the counter overflows to a value of 0, and an operation of adding from this value of 0 is performed.

  Following step S107, the main control MPU 1310a performs a winning ball control process (step S108). In this prize ball control process, input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and a prize ball command for paying out gaming balls is created based on the input information, or a main control board 1310 X and a payout control board 633. Create a self-check command to check the connection between boards. Then, the created prize ball command and the self check command are transmitted to the payout control board 633 as the main payment serial data. For example, when one game ball enters the big winning opening 2005, a prize ball command to pay out 15 balls as a prize ball is created, and the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as a prize ball reaches 10 balls Therefore, the output of the main prize ball number information output signal is set to convey that effect, and stored as output information in the output information storage area, and the prize ball command is transmitted to the payout control board 633, or this prize ball When a dispenser ACK signal notifying that the dispensing control board 633 has received the command normally is not input within a predetermined time, a self-check command for confirming the connection state between the main control board 1310 X and the dispensing control board 633 It is created and sent to the payout control board 633 or the like.

  In the prize ball control process of step S108, the input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and the number of gaming balls to be paid out as the prize balls reaches 10 on the basis of the input information. In this case, a main prize ball number information output command, which is classified as other to convey that effect, is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area. The main prize ball number information output command is created based on the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter. The value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter reads out the input information from the input information storage area described above, and based on the input information, the general winning opening 2001 provided on the game board 5, that is, the first starting opening 2002 Based on the game balls entered in the various winning openings (hereinafter referred to as "various winning openings provided on the game board 5") such as the second starting opening 2004 and the large winning opening 2005 etc. It counts the number of game balls scheduled to be played, and is stored and updated in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM in the prize ball control processing of step S108. In the prize ball control process of step S108, the value of the main prize ball number information output determining counter stored in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM is read, and the read main prize ball number information output determining counter The input information is read out from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and the number of balls of the game ball scheduled to be paid out as a prize ball is added to the value of. When it is over (ie, when the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as winning balls has reached 10 balls), a main prize ball number information output command is created to convey that effect, and as transmission information The value indicating the number of balls exceeded as well as the value stored in the output information storage area is used as the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter, the prize ball scheduled information storage area of the main control built-in RAM described above It is adapted to store update.

  Following step S108, the main control MPU 1310a performs frame command reception processing (step S110). The payout control board 633 transmits various 1-byte (8-bit) commands (for example, a frame state 1 command, an error cancellation navi command, and a frame state 2 command) divided into state displays. In the frame command reception process, when various commands are normally received as the payee serial data, information for conveying the fact to the payout control board 633 is stored in the output information storage area of the main control internal RAM as output information. In addition, the main control MPU 1310 a shapes the command normally received as the payer serial data into a 2-byte (16-bit) command (various commands (frame state 1 command, error cancellation navi command divided into status display, And frame status 2 command)), and stored as the transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above.

  Subsequent to step S110, the main control MPU 1310a performs a fraud detection process (step S112). In this fraudulent action detection process, the abnormal state regarding the winning balls is confirmed. For example, the input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, the logic of the detection signal from the first start port sensor main side 3002a is compared with the logic of the detection signal from the first start port sensor slave side 3002b. In the case where the logic is different, an incorrect ball (a game ball or a metal ball of almost the same diameter as that of the game ball or almost the same as that of the game ball or the like) It is judged that fraudulent action (hereinafter referred to as "radio wave irradiation got") by radio wave irradiation using synthetic resin spheres of a diameter is performed, and the value of the radio wave irradiation got counter is incremented by 1 (increment) Do. The value of the radio wave got counter is incremented each time it is determined that radio wave irradiation got is performed in the injustice detection process, is included in the game backup information, and is cleared when the RAM is cleared. The value 0 (zero) is set as the value. When the value of the radio wave irradiation lot counter reaches the upper limit value (in the present embodiment, the value 250 is set as the upper limit value based on 4 ms which is an interrupt cycle in which the cheating detection process is performed on the main control side timer interrupt process). And a radio wave irradiation goto notification command divided into a notification display that tells that radio wave irradiation goto is being performed, and stores it as the transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above.

  Here, the radio wave irradiation goto will be briefly described as follows. A ball with a flexible string (a wire, a piano wire, a wire or a linear member such as a catheter or the like) attached (a game ball or a metal of about the same diameter) The ball or synthetic resin ball of approximately the same diameter is driven into the game area 5a from the upper plate 201 via the ball feeding unit 140 by the ball launching device 540, and enters the first starting opening 2002 and the first starting Radio wave irradiation is performed in a state where the gaming ball is stopped in an area (a ball passing detection area of the first starting opening sensor) for detecting the gaming ball passing through the mouth sensor. Thereby, when radio wave irradiation is performed (that is, when radio wave irradiation is turned on) in a state where the game ball is stopped in the ball passage detection area of the first starting opening sensor, the logic of the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor is It becomes a logic that it does not detect the game ball, but it becomes a logic that the logic of the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor detects the game ball when the radio wave irradiation is not performed (that is, when the radio wave irradiation is turned off) . That is, the ball passing detection of the first starting opening sensor is repeated by repeatedly turning on or off the electric wave irradiation in the state where the gaming ball is stopped in the ball passing detection area of the first starting opening sensor. A signal indicating that a plurality of gaming balls have passed through the area can be created in a pseudo manner and output from the first starting opening sensor to the main control board 4100.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to be able to discover such radio wave irradiation goto, a dimension larger than the erroneous detection preventing distance dimension between the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a and the first starting opening sensor slave side 3002b. They were spaced apart by a distance (43 mm in this embodiment). Thereby, temporarily, an irregular ball attached with a flexible string-like operation line is driven from the upper plate 201 through the ball feeding unit 140 into the game area 5a by the ball launching device 540 and intrudes into the first starting opening 2002 The game ball passing through the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a (the ball passing detection area of the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a) or the game ball passing through the first starting opening sensor secondary side 3002b Even if the parked state can be formed in the area (the ball passing detection area of the first start port sensor slave side 3002b) that detects the The logic of the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor main side 3002a and the logic of the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor main side 3002b are necessarily different by repeating turning off and on. When the value of the radio wave irradiation got counter reaches the upper limit value, it generates a radio wave irradiation goth notification command that is divided into a notification display that tells that radio wave irradiation got is being performed, and it is used as transmission information. It can be stored in the transmission information storage area. In this embodiment, it is possible to contribute to the fact that a clerk such as a salesclerk of a game hall can find radio wave irradiation got at an early stage by reliably detecting and reporting radio wave irradiation goto by such a mechanism. It is supposed to be.

  Further, in the fraudulent activity detection process in step S112, the input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and when the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 3003 is input, fraudulent activity using a magnet (hereinafter referred to as "magnetism") It is determined that the value is 1) and the value of the magnet Goto counter is incremented (incremented). The value of the magnet got counter is incremented each time it is determined that radio wave irradiation got is performed in the injustice detecting process, is included in the game backup information, and is cleared when the RAM is cleared. The value 0 (zero) is set as the value. When the value of the magnet got counter reaches the upper limit (in the present embodiment, the value 250 is set as the upper limit based on 4 ms which is an interrupt cycle in which the cheating detection process is performed on the main control side timer interrupt process). A magnet magnet notification command divided into a notification display notifying that radio wave irradiation sound is being generated is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above. In this embodiment, it is possible to contribute to the fact that a clerk such as a salesclerk of the game hall can discover the magnet got at an early stage by reliably detecting and reporting the magnet goto by such a mechanism. It has become.

  Further, in the injustice detecting process in step S112, for example, when the input information is read from the above-described input information storage area and the detection signal from the big winning opening sensor 2403 is input when it is not the big hit gaming state (big winning opening When a game ball enters a ball in 2005), etc., for a special winning opening abnormal winning occurrence, create a winning abnormality display command classified as notification display as an abnormal state, and store it in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area as transmission information .

  In the fraud detection process in step S112, when radio wave irradiation goto and / or magnet goth are detected, the value 1 is set to the fraud detection flag FD-FLG as detection of fraud, while radio wave radiation goto and magnet When the got is not detected, the value of the cheating detection flag FD-FLG is set to 0 as no cheating detection. The fraudulent action detection flag FD-FLG is included in the game backup information, and when the RAM is cleared, the value 0 (zero) is set as an initial value. Also, when the occurrence of the special winning opening abnormal prize occurrence is detected, the value of 1 may be set to the injustice detection flag FD-FLG as the detection of the injustice.

  Following step S112, the main control MPU 1310a performs a firing permission signal setting process (step S113). In the launch permission signal setting process, the logic of a launch permission signal is transmitted that transmits a permission to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 to launch the game ball B. Specifically, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the fraud detection flag FD-FLG has a value 0, that is, it has not detected a fraud based on the value of the fraud detection flag FD-FLG described above. When the firing permission logic is set to the firing permission logic as the logic of the firing permission signal and stored as the output information in the above-described output information storage area, the fraud detection flag FD-FLG is not 0 (value 1), that is, fraud When it is determined that the detection of the fire is permitted, the fire permission logic is set to the fire stop logic (fire non-permission logic) inverted as the logic of the fire permission signal, and is stored as the output information in the output information storage area described above. The main control MPU 1310a reads input information from the input information storage area described above, and based on the input information, the detection signal from the door frame opening switch 4a is input and the door frame 3 is opened to the main body frame 4 If the door frame opening switch 4a detects that the door is open, a detection signal from the body frame opening switch 4b is input, and the body frame opening switch 4b detects that the body frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2 In this case, the firing permission logic is inverted to the firing stop logic (fire non-permitting logic) as the logic of the firing permission signal, and is stored as the output information in the output information storage area described above. The logic of the firing permission signal is, as an initial value (default), the firing permission signal setting process of step S113 in the main control side timer interrupt process which is this routine after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on (after power recovery) The hardware is configured by hardware including a main control output circuit with a reset function so as to be set to the firing stop logic (fire non-permitting logic) which reverses the firing permission logic until it is started.

  Following step S113, the main control MPU 1310a performs a special symbol and special electric combination product control process (step S114). In this special symbol and special motorized product control process, the latch signal is output to the main control built-in hard random number circuit, and the random number (random number value) extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit when the latch signal is input is It acquires from the hard random number latch register built in the control MPU 1310a, and sets the acquired random number value as a jackpot determination random number. Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot determination random number (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register incorporated in the main control MPU 1310a) matches the jackpot determination value stored in advance in the main control internal ROM. (Determining whether or not to generate a big hit gaming state (referred to as "special lottery".)), Or take out the value of the counter for updating the big hit symbol random number, determine the probability variation hit stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM It is determined whether or not it matches the value (determination of whether or not to generate a probability fluctuation). When the main control MPU 1310a does not generate a big hit gaming state, its detailed description is omitted, but the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU 1310a and the main control built-in ROM in advance. It is determined whether or not the stored small hit determination value matches (determines whether or not to generate the small hit gaming state), and when they match, the small hit gaming state is generated while the match is made. When it is not, it is determined whether or not the small hit game state is not accompanied by the reach, and it is determined that the reach is accompanied by the reach or not by the reach.

  Here, “probability fluctuation” means that the probability of hitting a jackpot changes to a high probability (probability variation) set higher than that at normal time (low probability). In the present embodiment, values 32668 to 32767 are set as the range of the big hit determination value (big hit determination range) with low probability and are read from the normal determination table, while value 31768 with the high probability 32767 is set and read out from the probability variation judgment table. As described above, in the special symbol and special motorized product control process in step S114, the jackpot determination random number (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU 1310a) and the main control built-in ROM When it is determined whether or not the stored big hit determination value matches, a big hit determination random number (that is, a random number value acquired from a hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU 1310a) is included in the big hit determination range Do it depending on whether it is

  When these determination results (lottery results) are from the first starting opening sensor 3002, various commands related to special figure 1 tuning effect are created, while the determination results (lottery results) are the second starting opening sensor 2402 If it is based on the special figure 2 create various commands related to the tuning effect, store it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area, and determine the variation display pattern of the special symbol based on the above-mentioned random number for variation display pattern And the first special symbol display 1404 or the second special symbol display 1404 of the function display unit 1400 to light the first special symbol display 1404 or the second special symbol display 1406 of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined variation display pattern of the special symbol (2) Set the output of the lighting signal to the special symbol display 1406 and store it as the output information in the above-mentioned output information storage area That. In addition, according to the game state to be generated, for example, when it becomes a big hit game state, various commands (big hit opening command, big winning opening 1 open N-th display command, big winning opening 1 closed display command, large win) A winning opening 1 count display command, a big hit ending command, and a big hit symbol display command) are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area, or, for example, of the drive signal to the attacker solenoid 2405 to open and close the opening / closing member When the output is set and stored as output information in the output information storage area, or when the number of times that the special winning opening 2005 changes from the closed state to the open state is two times, the round display 1408 of the function display unit 1400 Point to 2 round indicator lamp to light 2 round indicator lamp Set the output of the signal and store it in the output information storage area as output information, or when the round is 15 times, to the 15-round display lamp to light up the 15-round display lamp of the round display 1408 of the function display unit 1400 The output of the lighting signal to the status display 1401 of the function display unit 1400 so as to set the output of the lighting signal and store it in the output information storage area as output information or to light the presence or absence of occurrence of probability fluctuation in a predetermined color Are set and stored in the output information storage area as output information.

  Subsequent to step S114, the main control MPU 1310a performs a normal symbol and normal electric combination control process (step S116). In this ordinary symbol and ordinary motor combination control process, input information is read out from the above-described input information storage area, and gate winning processing is performed based on the input information. In this gate winning process, it is determined from the input information whether or not a detection signal from the gate sensor 2401 is input to the input terminal of the input port. Based on the determination result, when the detection signal is input to the input terminal of the input port, the value of the counter etc. for updating the above-mentioned random number per normal symbol determination is extracted and the gate of the main control internal RAM is extracted as gate information. Store in the information storage area.

  In this gate information storage area, the 0th to third partitions (four partitions) are provided, and gate information is stored in the order of the 0th partition, the first partition, the second partition, and the third partition. It is supposed to be. For example, when the gate information is stored in the 0th section to the 2nd section of the gate information storage, when the detection signal from the gate sensor 2401 is input to the input terminal of the input port, the gate information is stored in the 3rd gate information storage Store in compartments.

  The gate information stored in the zeroth section of the gate information storage is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. When this gate information is set, the gate information of the first section of the gate information storage is gated to the 0th section of the gate information storage, the gate information of the second section of the gate information storage is gated to the first section of the gate information storage, The gate information of the third section of the information storage is shifted to the second section of the gate information storage, and the third section of the gate information storage becomes an empty area. For example, when gate information is stored in the first to second sections of the gate information storage, the gate information of the first section of the gate information storage is stored in the zeroth section of the gate information storage. The gate information of the two partitions is shifted to the first partition of the gate information storage, and the second partition of the gate information storage and the third partition of the gate information storage become vacant areas. Here, when the gate information is stored in the first to third sections of the gate information storage, the normal hold indicator 1403 of the function display unit 1400 is turned on by setting the total number of the stored gate information as the hold ball, The output of the lighting signal of the normal hold indicator 1403 of the function display unit 1400 is set based on the gate information described above, and is stored as the output information in the output information storage area described above.

  Following the gate winning process, the gate information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM is read out, and the value of the random symbol determination per normal symbol is taken out from the read gate information and stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM. It is determined whether or not it matches the normal symbol hit determination value (referred to as a "normal lottery"). Whether to open and close the movable piece or not is determined based on the determination result (lottery result from the normal lottery). When the opening and closing operation is performed in this determination, the movable piece is in the open state, and the game ball can be accepted to the second start port 2004, and the game state becomes advantageous to the player. The variation display pattern of the normal symbol corresponding to this determination is determined based on the random number for the normal symbol variation display pattern described above, and various commands classified into a common figure synchronization effect relationship are created, and the transmission information storage described above as transmission information Set the output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display 1402 of the function display unit 1400 so as to light the normal symbol display 1402 of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined variation display pattern of the normal symbol while storing in the area. It is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area as output information.

  Also, for example, when the value of the random number for determining the normal symbol taken out matches the determination value for the normal symbol stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, various commands relating to the ordinary electric part production are created and transmitted. While storing in the transmission information storage area as information and setting the output of the drive signal to the start port solenoid 2404 so as to open and close the movable piece, it is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area as output information, If the value of the random number per symbol judgment does not match the normal symbol judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is determined based on the above-mentioned random symbol display pattern random number pattern , While creating various commands classified in relation to a common figure tuning effect, and storing them as transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above, The output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display 1402 of the function display unit 1400 is set to light the normal symbol display 1402 of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined normal symbol fluctuation display pattern, and the output information described above as the output information Store in storage area.

  Following step S116, the main control MPU 1310a performs a setting value confirmation display process (step S117). In this set value confirmation display process, the detailed description will be described later, but the input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 is detected based on this input information. The setting key is inserted in the detection signal from the body frame opening switch 4b and the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is in the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a) The setting switch 1311a is turned on by turning the first ON by turning 60 degrees clockwise from the second position, and the setting key is turned on from the setting switch 1311a. Is determined to be open, and the setting switch 1311a is set with the setting key O by the signal of the setting key ON. While it is determined that the predetermined set value display permission condition is established based on the determination that the main frame 4 is open, the main frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main frame opening switch 4b. If it is determined that the setting switch 1311a is not turned on by the signal of the setting key ON, it is determined that the predetermined setting value display permission condition is not satisfied. In the setting value confirmation display process, a lighting signal for displaying the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM on the setting display 1310g when the setting value display permitting condition is satisfied. Is set and stored in the output information storage area as output information, and when the set value display permission condition is satisfied, the process is terminated as it is, and the process returns to the present routine.

  Following step S117, the main control MPU 1310a performs port output processing (step S118). In this port output process, output information is read from the output information storage area described above from the output terminals of various output ports of the main control MPU 1310a, and various signals are output based on the output information. The main control MPU 1310a, for example, outputs a main payment ACK signal to the payout control substrate 633 when reception of various commands from the payout control substrate 633 is normally completed from an output terminal of a predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310a based on output information. Output a drive signal to an attacker solenoid 2405 that opens and closes the opening and closing member of the big winning opening 2005 when it is in a big hit gaming state, and outputs a drive signal to a start opening solenoid 2404 that opens and closes a movable piece Besides, 15 round big hit information output signal, 2 round big hit information output signal, probability variation in progress information output signal, special symbol display information output signal, normal symbol display information output signal, time short information output signal, starting opening winning Various information (gaming information) signals relating to the game such as information output signals to the payout control board 633 Force, or a release permission signal set in the release permission logic or the release suspension logic (release non-permission logic) is output to the payout control board 633, or the counting result of the number of gaming balls collected by the out port 1008 Outputs a display signal to the base monitor 1310h for displaying the total number), or outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM on the setting display 1310g. To

  Following step S118, the main control MPU 1310a performs peripheral control board command transmission processing (step S120). In this peripheral control board command transmission process, the transmission information is read from the transmission information storage area described above, and this transmission information is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as main cycle serial data. In this transmission information, various commands created in the main control side timer interrupt processing which is this routine, various commands classified in special figure 1 tuning effect related, various commands classified in special figure 2 synchronous effect related, big hit related Various commands (for example, a special winning opening 1 count display command corresponding to a special winning opening count command based on a detection signal from the special winning opening sensor 2403 when a game ball entering the special winning opening 2005 is detected) , Various commands classified as power on, various commands classified as related to common drawing tuning effect, various commands classified as related to regular electric circuit production, various commands classified as notification display, various types classified as status display Command, various commands classified as test related, and various commands classified as others (for example, the main control board 1310 X is provided on the game board 5 The main prize ball number information output signal is used as the main prize ball number information every time the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as a prize ball reaches 10 balls based on the game balls entered into various winning openings, external The main prize ball number information output command and the like instructing to transmit to the hall computer via the terminal plate 558, and various commands classified into the specific history (for example, the number of balls of the game balls collected at the out port 1008) There is a problem (or can not be relied on) stored in the main control built-in RAM, a ball recovery command to notify that every 10 balls are reached, a setting change command to notify that the setting value has been changed, or An error display command to inform that effect, and a setting key to confirm that a setting value stored in a setting value dedicated area to be described later in a specific area of the main control built-in RAM is to be confirmed. ON operation command, etc.) are stored. In the main cycle serial data, one packet is configured into 3 bytes. Specifically, the main cycle serial data has a status indicating the type of command having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), a mode indicating a variation of effects having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), and a status And a sum value obtained by calculating the sum of the modes as numerical values, and this sum value is created at the time of transmission.

  In this peripheral control board command transmission processing, the various commands are configured as main cycle serial data, and are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value. As described above, the charge stored in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as DC +5 V to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, in the event of a power failure or a momentary power failure. The main transmission serial transmission port incorporated in the main control MPU 1310a must at least transfer the command set in the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register by the serial management unit and complete transmission as main transmission serial data from the transmission shift register It is possible to When power is turned on to pachinko machine 1 or when power is restored due to a power failure or momentary interruption after power on, transmission is performed when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control power-on process shown in FIG. 176. The power on state command divided into power on, power on main control return destination command, and power on main prize ball number information output judgment counter in order to convey that power recovery is performed in the reservation setting of the command to be executed A notification command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Therefore, as the main cycle serial data, the power-on state command is configured in the order of status, mode, and sum value. Send to peripheral control board 1510 and then configure the power-on main control return destination command, status, mode, and sum value Transmitted to peripheral control board 1510 in order, subsequently constitutes the power-on main prize ball number information output determining counter notification command, and transmits status, mode, and a peripheral control board 1510 in the order of thumb value. In the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, various information is read from the game backup information in setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the main control side power-on process. Various commands may be stored. In such a case, first, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information among various information is completed, the power on state command, the power on main control return destination command, and the power on main prize ball number information The output determination counter notification command is transmitted.

  In addition, when the number of game balls collected at the out port 1008 reaches 10 balls and transmits a ball collection command to that effect to the peripheral control board 1510, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a in the peripheral control board 1510 receives The ball collection information stored in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown) (ie, the counted value (that is, the out-port 1008) is counted by counting the number of balls of the gaming ball recovered in the out-port 1008 Information in which the total number of game balls collected is associated with the updated date and time) is updated. In addition, when the operating time of the game hall ends and the pachinko machine 1 is powered off without receiving the ball collection command, the value finally counted (that is, the game ball collected at the out port 1008) as a result The sphere collection information in which the total number of spheres is associated with the updated date and time is stored and held in a built-in RAM of a real time clock IC (not shown). When power is turned on when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on when starting to operate the gaming hall, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a in the peripheral control board 1510 transmits the ball collection information stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC not shown. The ball collection information is created again from the day when it was started, and the ball collection information is stored and held as ball collection history information in a built-in RAM of a real time clock IC (not shown). Note that the counted value stored as sphere collection information in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown) may use the value counted from the value 0 (zero) on that day, or the value 0 (zero) on that day Both the counted value and the sum of the counted values may be used.

  Following step S120, the main control MPU 1310a clears the main control built-in WDT (step S122), and ends this routine. Clearing of the main control built-in WDT in step S122 is performed by setting a timer clear set value in a WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a. This clears the timing by the main control built-in WDT. Then, the timing by the main control built-in WDT is started again, so that the main control MPU 1310a is not forcedly reset by the main control built-in WDT.

  As mentioned above, when the main control board 1310X is in the progress of the game, the above-mentioned backup for storing the game information by the progress of the game before the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off The process can be executed and completed, and at the time of power recovery, the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is shut off based on the game information on which the backup process has been executed as a return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310X. When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command is output to the peripheral control board 1510 to indicate the drive state of the start port solenoid 2404 and the attacker solenoid 2405 which are electric drive sources by the port output process of step S118 in this routine. It can be done. In other words, main control board 1310X uses the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the same process shown in FIG. 175 in the reservation setting of the command sent when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. The power-on state command divided into power-on to indicate that power has been turned on (power-return) based on the power-on time information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in setting the work area. The main control return destination command at power on and the main notification ball number information output judgment counter notification command at power on are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and step S120 in this routine. In peripheral control board command transmission processing, configure power on state command as main cycle serial data Transmit to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value, and then transmit to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value to configure the power-on main control return destination command. Subsequently, when the power is turned on, the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output determination is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value.

  Therefore, the peripheral control board 1510 is a display area of the effect display device 1600 as the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310X at the time of power recovery based on the power-on main control return destination command from the main control board 1310X. Can be displayed on the screen. By this, when the player is playing a game, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and then when the power is restored, the gaming state immediately before the momentary power loss or power failure is restored promptly after power recovery. In addition, since the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310X can be displayed and notified in the display area of the effect display device 1600, the state of the system of the pachinko machine 1 is in a frozen state, a so-called frozen state It is possible to prevent the player from being mistaken for being seen and broken down. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being misunderstood by returning to the gaming state immediately before a momentary power failure or a power failure, and returning promptly after power recovery.

  In addition, in the main control board inspection step which is an inspection step of the manufacturing line of the main control board 1310X, when the power of the main control board 1310X is first turned on after being manufactured for inspection, as described above, FIG. In the step S38 in the main control side power-on process shown, it is always cleared except for the specific area in the entire area of the main control built-in RAM. Thus, in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at the time of power on in step S50 in the same process shown in FIG. 176, the power on state command classified as power on when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at the power on is performed. When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command at power on and the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output judgment at power on are created and stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM as transmission information. A state in which only three commands, status command, power-on main control return destination command, and power-on main prize ball number information output judgment counter notification command are stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM In the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in this routine, As the peripheral serial data, configure the power-on state command, send to the inspection device of the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value, and then configure the power-on main control return destination command, The status, mode, and sum value are sent to the inspection device of the main control board inspection process in this order, and then, when the power is turned on, the main notification ball number information output judgment counter notification command is configured. Status, mode, and sum value Transmit to the inspection device of the main control board inspection process in order. The inspection apparatus of the main control board inspection process constructs information showing the model code of the pachinko machine based on the information showing the model code of the pachinko machine included in the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310X. The above-mentioned series code for identifying which of the max type, middle type, and sweet digital type that indicates the model type, the copyright code for identifying the copyright of the work, and the game specification (For example, in addition to the game specification that the state is continued until the next big hit gaming state occurs when the probability change occurs, the game specification that the probability change occurs in the state where the number of times of the special symbol change is limited Machine) and display detailed model information on the inspection monitor of the main control board inspection process based on the game specification code for specifying It has become the jar.

16-4. Setting change process]
Next, setting change processing will be described. This setting change process is a process performed in step S37 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG.

  When the setting change process is started, as shown in FIG. 178, the main control MPU 1310a acquires the current installation value (step S200). Here, the main control MPU 1310a acquires the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. When the setting value is acquired, it may be read or taken out, but when the setting value is taken out, the taken out setting value is set in a predetermined area.

  Following step S200, the main control MPU 1310a calculates a checksum (step S202). This checksum is used to calculate the sum of various information stored in the main control internal RAM as numerical values, and the checksum performed in step S28 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 175. Is the same process as the calculation of.

  Subsequent to step S202, the main control MPU 1310a stores the calculated checksum value (sum value) in the main control power-off process (power-off) in the main control power-on process shown in FIG. 176. It is determined whether or not it matches the value of the checksum (sum value) (step S204). If the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S204 that they match, it determines whether the backup flag BK-FLG has a value 1 (step S206). The determination in step S204 and the determination in step S206 are the same as the determination in step S30 and the determination in step S32 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. As described above, the backup flag BK-FLG includes the main control built-in processing in the main control side power-off process to be described later, including game backup information such as various information, checksum value (sum value) and backup flag BK-FLG value. It is a flag indicating whether the data is stored and held in RAM, and is set to 1 when the main control power-off process has ended normally, and to 0 when the main control power-off process has not ended normally. Be done.

  When the main control MPU 1310a determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match in the determination in step S204, or in the determination in step S206, the main control MPU 1310a does not have the backup flag BK-FLG at the value 1 When (the value is 0), that is, when it is determined that the main control side power-off process has not ended normally, it is determined whether the set value acquired in step S200 is within the normal range (step S208) . Here, the “normal range” is a value to which the setting value can be changed. In the present embodiment, the setting value 1, the setting value 2, the setting value 3, the setting value 4, the setting value 5, and the setting The values up to 6 are preset. If the flowchart proceeds to the determination in step S208, it is determined that the contents of the main control internal RAM have an abnormality, or if it is determined that the main control side power-off process has not ended normally upon power-off. Because of this, the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is abnormal (or can not be trusted). Therefore, in the determination of step S208, the main control MPU 1310a sets the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM, which is acquired in step S200, to a normal range. It is determined whether the value is any of the above, and if it is determined that it is within the normal range, the set value is used as it is.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S208 that the main control MPU 1310a does not fall within the normal range, the main control MPU 1310a sets the setting value 1 which is an initial value to the setting value acquired in step S200 (step S210). In the determination in step S208, any one of setting values 1 to 6 in which the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM acquired in step S200 is a normal range. Although it is determined whether or not it is a value, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the values (sum values) of the checksums do not match in the determination of step S204 without performing the determination of step S208. If the backup flag BK-FLG is not 1 (the value is 0), that is, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the main control side power-off process has not ended normally. At the same time, the process proceeds to step S210, and setting value 1, which is an initial value, is set to the setting value acquired in step S200. It may be.

  In the determination of step S206, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1, that is, determines that the main control side power-off process has ended normally, or in the determination of step S208, the main control When the MPU 1310a determines that it is within the normal range, or following step S210, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal to the setting change permission lamp 1311c to turn on the setting change permission lamp 1311c (step S212).

  Following step S212, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value on the setting indicator 1310g to the setting indicator 1310g and displays the setting value on the setting indicator 1310g (step S214). .

  Subsequent to step S214, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the setting switching button 1311b is operated (step S216). In this determination, the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311 b is read, and it is determined whether the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311 b is input. The main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting switching button 1311b is operated when the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b is input, while the setting switching button when the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b is not input. It is determined that 1311 b has not been operated.

  When the main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting switching button 1311b is operated in the determination of step S216, the main control MPU 1310 performs calculation to add (increment) the value 1 to the set value (step S218). At this time, when acquiring the set value in step S200, if the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is taken out and set in the predetermined area, this predetermined area The value 1 is added (incremented) to the set value set in.

  Following step S218, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value updated in step S216 on the setting indicator 1310g to the setting indicator 1310g, and updates the setting value for the setting indicator 1310g. Is displayed (step S220).

  Subsequent to step S220 or in the determination of step S216, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting switching button 1311b is not operated, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the determination key is operated (step S222). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a inserts the setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, and proceeds from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key 1311a is turned on toward the setting key cylinder counterclockwise Is turned 120 degrees (that is, from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting switch 1311a is turned on to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a) The setting switch 1311a is turned on by turning on the second ON) by turning 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the counterclockwise direction and turning OFF counterclockwise and then turning 60 degrees counterclockwise). And based on the signal of the determination key ON from the setting switch 1311a When it is determined that the determination key ON signal from the setting switch 1311a is input, it is determined that the determination key is operated, while when the determination key ON signal from the setting switch 1311a is not input, the determination key is operated. It is determined that there is not.

  When it is determined in step S222 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the determination key is not operated, the process returns to the determination of step S216 again, and determines whether the setting switching button 1311b is operated. When it is determined in step S216 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting switching button 1311b is operated, the processing of step S218 and step S220 is performed again, the determination of step S222 is performed, and the determination key is operated. When it is not determined, the process returns to the determination of step S216 again, and when the setting switching button 1311b is operated until the determination key is operated, the setting value is incremented by one each time it is operated, and the setting display is displayed. If the setting switching button 1311b is not operated, the setting switching button 1311b is operated immediately before and the updated setting value is displayed on the setting display 1310g. In addition, until it is determined that the decision key is operated in the determination of step S222, even if a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs and the power is restored, the setting value updated immediately before the power failure or the momentary power failure occurs is main control Because the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the built-in RAM is not stored, the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is not changed.

  On the other hand, when determining in step S222 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the determination key is operated, it stores the updated setting value in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control internal RAM (step S224). At this time, when acquiring the set value in step S200, if the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is taken out and set in the predetermined area, this predetermined area Since the setting value set in is updated, the updated setting value is returned to the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. After completion of the process in step S224, even if a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs and the power is restored, the updated set value when the determination key is operated before the power failure or momentary power failure occurs is the main control internal RAM Are stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of.

  Subsequent to step S224, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not there is an OFF operation of the setting key (step S226). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a inserts the setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a and sets the setting switch 1311a to the initial position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder (that is, the setting switch 1311a) When the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise and turned off so as to return to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder to be turned OFF, the setting switch 1311a is turned OFF and the signal of OFF from the setting switch 1311a On the basis of the setting switch 1311a, it is determined that the setting key has been turned OFF. When the setting switch 1311a has not been inputted, the setting key is turned OFF. It judges that it is not.

  If it is determined in step S226 that the setting key has not been turned off, the main control MPU 1310 returns to the determination in step S226 again, and repeats the determination in step S226 until the setting key is turned off.

  On the other hand, when determining in step S226 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting key has been turned OFF, the main control MPU 1310a stops the output of the lighting signal for displaying the updated setting value on the setting indicator 1310g to the setting indicator 1310g. Then, the updated setting value is not displayed on the setting display 1310g (step S228).

  Following step S228, the main control MPU 1310a stops the lighting signal to the setting change permission lamp 1311c and turns off the setting change permission lamp 1311c (step S230).

  Following step S230, the main control MPU 1310a sets the value 0 to the setting change permission flag CS-FLG (step S232). As described above, the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is the current setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM (the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a is the first ON operation) Is a flag indicating whether or not to permit the setting change of the setting value 1 to the setting value 6 at the time when the setting is allowed, and is a value when permitting the setting change of the setting value to be performed 1. When the setting change of the setting value is not permitted, the value is set to 0, respectively. In the process of step S232, setting the value of the setting change allowance flag CS-FLG to 0 makes it impossible to change the setting of the setting value thereafter.

  Following step S232, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the set value stored in step S224 is within the normal range (step S233). The “normal range” is the same as in the determination of step S208, and as described above, in the present embodiment, setting value 1, setting value 2, setting value 3, setting value 4, setting value 5, and setting The values up to 6 are preset. In the determination of step S233, the main control MPU 1310a corrects the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM in step S224 in order to reconfirm whether the setting value is abnormal. It is determined whether the value is one of the set value 1 to the set value 6 which is a range, and when it is determined that the range is a normal range, the set value is used as it is.

  If it is determined in step S233 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the range is the normal range, the main control MPU 1310a performs serial communication initialization (step S234), and subsequently creates a setting change command to set transmission information (step S236). Subsequently, peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing for transmitting the transmission information (setting change command) set in step S236 to the peripheral control board 1510 as main cycle serial data is performed (step S238), and this routine is ended. The serial communication initial setting in step S234 is the same process as the serial communication initial setting in step S44 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 176, and the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S238 is the same as FIG. This process is the same as the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process of step S120 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. Here, in the serial communication initial setting in step S234, the transmission information (setting change command) set in step S236 in the peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing in step S238 is performed prior to the serial communication initial setting in step S44. Although it is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as peripheral serial data, this is prioritized before the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control side power on processing shown in FIG. 176. To notify the peripheral control board 1510 that a setting value has been changed by a setting change command. The setting change command is a command for conveying the setting value whose setting has been changed and the completion of storing the setting value. When receiving the setting change command, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a in the peripheral control board 1510 updates the setting value history information (information in which the setting value is associated with the date and time) stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC not shown. Do.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S233 that the main control MPU 1310a does not fall within the normal range, the main control MPU 1310 performs an error display process (step S240), and enters an infinite loop. By this infinite loop, the state in which the error display process is finished is maintained, and the game can not be progressed at all, and the pachinko machine 1 is turned off and turned on again. In this error display process, the detailed description will be described later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power-off process has not ended normally when the power is shut off If it is determined, it is determined that the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is abnormal (or it can not be relied upon), and an error display notifying that effect is performed. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

16-5. Set value confirmation display process]
Next, the setting value confirmation display process will be described. The set value confirmation display process is a process performed in step S117 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

  When the setting value confirmation display process is started, as shown in FIG. 179, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG has a value 0 (step S350). The confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is a flag for confirming the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM, and when the set value is confirmed and displayed, the value 1 is set Each value is set to 0 when the value is not displayed.

  In the determination of step S350, when the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is 0, that is, when the set value is not displayed for confirmation, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the main frame 4 is opened and the setting key is turned ON. It is determined (step S352). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310 a reads out the input information from the above-described input information storage area, and based on the input information, detects from the main body frame open switch 4 b for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. The setting key is inserted into the signal and the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise from the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a) The setting switch 1311a is turned on by turning operation and the first ON operation, and the main frame 4 is released from the outer frame 2 by the signal of the setting key ON from the setting switch 1311a. Determines that the setting switch 1311a is turned on by the signal of the setting key ON. By doing this, it is determined that the predetermined set value display permission condition is established, but it is determined that the main body frame 4 is not open with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b, And / or by determining that the setting switch 1311a is not turned on by the signal of the setting key ON, it is determined that a predetermined setting value display permission condition is not satisfied.

  In the determination of step S352, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the predetermined set value display permission condition is not satisfied, the main routine is ended as it is, while the predetermined set value display permission condition is satisfied. If it is determined that the setting value is to be confirmed, the value 1 is set to the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG (step S354), and then the current installation value is acquired (step S356). Here, the main control MPU 1310a acquires the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM.

  Subsequent to step S356, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the set value acquired in step S356 is within the normal range (step S357). The “normal range” is the same as the determination in step S208 in the setting change process of FIG. 178 and the determination in step S233, and as described above, in the present embodiment, setting value 1, setting value 2, setting The values up to value 3, set value 4, set value 5 and set value 6 are preset. In the determination of step S357, the main control MPU 1310a re-confirms whether the setting value is not an abnormal value, the setting value acquired in step S356 (that is, the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM). It is determined whether or not the setting value stored in is in any of the setting values 1 to 6 that is in the normal range, and when it is determined that it is in the normal range, the setting value is used as it is Do.

  When determining in step S357 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the range is the normal range, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value acquired in step S356 on the setting indicator 1310g to the setting indicator 1310g. The set value is displayed for 1310 g (step S 358).

  Following step S360, the main control MPU 1310a creates an ON operation command of the setting key, stores it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM, and sets the ON operation command of the setting key (step S360). ), End this routine. This setting key ON operation command is transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. The setting key ON operation command indicates that the setting value confirmation display process which is this routine has been started (that is, the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is confirmed) It is a command to convey.

  When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the ON operation command of the setting key, the ON operation history information of the setting key stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown) Information that associates the effect with the date and time).

  In addition, when the peripheral control IC 1510 a of the peripheral control board 1510 receives the ON operation command of the setting key, the ball recovery history information, the setting value history information, the error display history information, and the ON operation history information of the setting key described above. The predetermined specific history information display permission condition of being able to display specific history information such as is established. The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510 a in the peripheral control board 1510 operates a rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 and a pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 by a person who confirms the specific history information in a state where the predetermined specific history information display permission condition holds. By performing the above, control is performed to switch from the image that has been displayed so far to the specific history information display image for selecting and displaying the specific history information and to display it in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S350, when the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is not 0 (the value is 1), that is, when the set value is confirmed and displayed, whether or not there is an OFF operation of the setting key It is determined whether or not it is (step S362). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a reads the input information from the input information storage area described above, and based on the input information, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting switch 1311a, and the setting switch 1311a is determined. The setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees so as to return from the rotational position of the keyed setting key cylinder to the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a) By operating the setting switch 1311a is turned off, it is performed by the signal of OFF from the setting switch 1311a, and when the signal of OFF is inputted from the setting switch 1311a, it is judged that the setting key is turned off, while the setting switch 1311a OFF signal from It determines that the setting key when not been a force not being OFF operation.

  When it is determined in step S362 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting key is not turned off, the main routine is ended as it is, while when it is determined that the setting key is turned off, the setting value is not confirmed. The value 0 is set in the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG (step S364), and then the output of the lighting signal for displaying the setting value acquired in step S356 on the setting indicator 1310g is stopped. Setting display 1310g does not display the acquired setting value (step S366), and then creates a setting key OFF operation command and stores it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM. , Set the setting key OFF operation command (step S368), and this routine To the end. The OFF operation command of the setting key is transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. The OFF operation command of the setting key indicates that the setting value confirmation display process which is this routine has been completed (that is, confirmation of completion of confirmation of the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM) Is a command to convey

  When the CPU of the periphery control IC 1510a in the periphery control board 1510 receives the setting key OFF operation command, the above-described predetermined specific history information display permission condition is not satisfied. At this time, when the CPU of the periphery control IC 1510a in the periphery control board 1510 is performing control to display the above-described specific history information display image in the display area of the effect display device 1600, immediately before switching to the specific history information display image Control is performed to switch to the image displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and restore the original image.

  On the other hand, when determining in step S357 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the range is not within the normal range, the main control MPU 1310 performs interrupt non-permission setting (step S370). By this setting, the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, which has been repeatedly performed every 4 ms, is stopped.

  Following step S370, the main control MPU 1310a performs an error display process (step S372), and then enters an infinite loop in which the main control built-in WDT is continuously cleared (step S374). This infinite loop will continue to clear the main control built-in WDT. This can not be stopped once the main control built-in WDT is started, so by continuing to clear the main control built-in WDT, the main Setting the timer clear setting value in the WDT clear register built into the control MPU 1310a clears the clocking by the main control built-in WDT, and restarts the clocking by the main control built-in WDT, thereby the main control by the main control built-in WDT. The MPU 1310a is not forced to be reset. In addition, this infinite loop keeps the state in which the error display process is finished, and the game can not be progressed at all, and the pachinko machine 1 is turned off and turned on again. In this error display process, the detailed description will be described later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power-off process has not ended normally when the power is shut off If it is determined, it is determined that the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is abnormal (or it can not be relied upon), and an error display notifying that effect is performed. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

[16-6. Error display process]
Next, error display processing will be described. This error display process is the process performed in step S33 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 175, and the process performed in step S37 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. Process in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 17, and is a process performed in step S372 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG.

  When the error display process is started, the main control MPU 1310a stops the emission permission signal as shown in FIG. 180 (step S400). The release permission signal, as described above, informs the release control portion 633b of the payout control board 633 that the release of the game ball B is permitted, and when the logic thereof is set to the release permission logic, the release is generated. Can be signaled that the firing is to be stopped (disallowed) if the logic is set to the firing stop logic (firing non-permission logic) which reverses the firing permission logic. .

  One process performed in step S33 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 175, or one process performed in step S37 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 175. Specifically, when started as (the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 178), main control MPU 1310a causes the interrupt of step S52 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. Since the permission setting can not be performed, the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 can not be performed, and the release permission signal setting process of step S113 in the same process can not be performed. Since the release permission signal is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310a to the release control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 via the main control output circuit with reset function, the reset function is provided at power recovery. The main control output circuit is reset, and its logic is the fire stop logic (fire non-permit logic) which is the reverse of the fire enable logic.

  Therefore, the process performed in step S33 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 175 or the process performed in step S37 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. When started as one process (specifically, the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 178), main control MPU 1310a performs an error display that is the present routine after power recovery in step S400. Even after the processing is started, the logic of the firing permission signal is set to the firing stop logic (firing non-permission logic) to reliably prevent the game ball B from being fired, and its predetermined output port Output to the discharge control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 through the main control output circuit with reset function from the output terminal of That.

  When the error display process, which is this routine, is started as the process performed in step S372 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 179, the main control MPU 1310a performs the process of step S357 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. It is determined in the determination that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM. Although the main control MPU 1310a has already performed the interrupt permission setting of step S52 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 176, it has already been shown in FIG. 179 before the error display process which is this routine is started. Since the interrupt non-permission setting is performed in step S370 in the set value confirmation display process, when the error display process which is this routine is ended, the main control side shown in FIG. The timer interrupt process can not be performed, and the firing permission signal setting process of step S113 in the same process can not be performed.

  Therefore, when the error display process, which is the present routine, is started as the process performed in step S372 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 179, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the contents of the main control internal RAM are abnormal in step S400. In order to prevent the game ball B from being fired under certain conditions, the logic of the firing permission signal is set to the firing stop logic (fire non-permitting logic) and reset from the output terminal of the predetermined output port The signal is output to the emission control unit 633 b of the payout control substrate 633 via the function-added main control output circuit.

  Following step S400, a lighting signal for displaying the alphabet E on the setting display 1310g as an error display is output to the setting display 1310g, and an error is displayed on the setting display 1310g (step S402).

  Following step S402, the main control MPU 1310a displays an error on the function display unit 1400 (step S404). In step S404, a lighting signal for lighting all of the various displays of the function display unit 1400 is output to the function display unit 1400, and an error is displayed on the function display unit 1400.

  Following step S404, the main control MPU 1310a performs serial communication initialization (step S406), and subsequently creates an error display command to set transmission information (step S408), and subsequently sets it in step S406. A peripheral control board transmission command transmission process of transmitting transmission information (error display command) as main cycle serial data to the peripheral control board 1510 is performed (step S410), and this routine is ended.

  The serial communication initial setting of step S406 is the same as the serial communication initial setting of step S234 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 178 and the serial communication initial setting of step S44 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. The peripheral control board transmission command transmission process of step S410 is the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process of step S238 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 178 and the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. This process is the same as the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process of step S120. The process performed in step S33 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 175, and the process performed in step S37 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. When it is started and ended as the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 179 and the process performed in step S372 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 179, as described above, the infinite loop is entered. By this infinite loop, the state in which the error display process has ended is maintained, and the game can not be progressed at all.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the serial communication initial setting of step S406 is performed, and the transmission information (error display command) set in step S408 in the peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing of step S410 is used as the peripheral serial data as the peripheral data. It is sent to 1510.

  The error display command is a command that indicates that the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is abnormal (or something that can not be trusted). When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510 a in the peripheral control board 1510 receives an error display command, error display history information (information in which the error display command is associated with the received date and time) is stored in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown). Update).

  Further, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510 a in the peripheral control board 1510 receives an error display command, “RAM error has occurred in the blue background image in the display area of the effect display device 1600 as a RAM error notification. Along with performing control to display a message image with white characters such as "Please call me.", A slide method is provided for the peripheral control board 1510 shown in FIG. 147 with the announcement "RAM error has occurred. Please call a clerk." Of the various speakers (vibration speaker 354, top center speaker 462, top side speaker 464, and main body), not depending on the volume adjusted by the operation of the volume adjustment switch 1510d, but forced to reach the maximum volume. Control is made to flow from the frame speaker 622 or the like. The process of performing the RAM error notification by the error display command is the process with the highest priority, and when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510 a in the peripheral control board 1510 receives an error display command after receiving a command notifying another error, the RAM Error notification is given top priority.

[17. Various control processing of payout control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the payout control board 633 shown in FIG. 151 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 181 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing when the payout control unit is turned on, and FIG. 182 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the processing when the payout control unit is turned on shown in FIG. FIG. 184 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the power-on process, and FIG. 184 is a flowchart showing an example of a payout control unit timer interrupt process. First, the payout control unit power-on processing will be described, and then, the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described.

[17-1. Processing when the dispensing control unit is turned on]
First, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, under the control of the payout control MPU 633aa of the payout control portion 633a of the payout control board 633, as shown in FIGS. . When the payout control unit power-on process is started, the payout control MPU 633aa sets an interrupt mode (step S500). This interrupt mode is to set the priority of the interrupt of the payout control MPU 633aa. In the present embodiment, a payout control unit timer interrupt process described later is set to the highest priority, and when an interrupt of the payout control unit timer interrupt process occurs, the process is preferentially performed.

  Following step S500, the payout control MPU 633aa performs input / output setting (input / output setting of I / O) (step S502). In this I / O input / output setting, various input ports and various output ports of the payout control MPU 633 aa are set.

  Subsequent to step S502, the payout control MPU 633aa performs wait timer process 1 (step S506), and determines whether a power failure advance signal is input (step S508). The voltage does not rise immediately between the time the power is turned on and the predetermined voltage. On the other hand, when a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs (a phenomenon in which the supply of power is suspended), if the voltage drops and becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310X as a power failure notification. Ru. Similarly, when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure warning voltage during the period from the power-on to the predetermined voltage, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310X. Therefore, wait timer process 1 in step S506 is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the power failure notice voltage and becomes stable after power on. In the present embodiment, 200 milliseconds (wait timer) is used as a waiting time (wait timer). ms) is set. The determination in step S508 is performed based on the power failure notification signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310X.

  Subsequent to step S508, the payout control MPU 633aa determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310f of the main control board 1310X is operated (step S512). This determination does not instruct to perform the RAM clear when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310 f is HI based on the logic of the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310 f While it is determined that the RAM clear switch 1310 f is not operated, it is determined that the RAM clear is instructed when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310 f is LOW. Then, it is determined that the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated.

  If it is determined in step S512 that the payout control MPU 633aa determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG to the value 1 (step S514). That is, the payout control MPU 633 aa can execute the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (that is, the payout control internal RAM) built in the payout control MPU 4120 a for a predetermined time after the power is turned on.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S512 that the payout control MPU 633aa does not operate the RAM clear switch 1310f, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG to the value 0 (step S516). The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is stored in the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU 633 aa, for example, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas, and the like (for example, prize ball information storage area The logic state of the PRDY signal stored in the prize ball stock number PBS, the real ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc., and the CR communication information storage area is set. This flag is a flag indicating whether or not the payout information related to the payout of the PRDY signal output setting information etc. is to be erased, and is set to a value 1 when the payout information is erased and a value 0 when the payout information is not erased. The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG set in step S514 and step S516 is stored in a general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the payout control MPU 633aa.

  Following step S514 or step S516, the payout control MPU 633aa performs setting for permitting access to the payout control internal RAM (step S518). By this setting, the payout control built-in RAM can be accessed, and for example, writing (storage) or reading of the payout information can be performed.

  Subsequent to step S518, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the stack pointer (step S520). The stack pointer indicates, for example, an address stacked on the stack to temporarily store the contents of a storage element (register) in use, or temporarily returns the return address of this routine when the subroutine is ended and the process returns to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked. In step S520, an initial address is set in the stack pointer, and the contents of the register, the return address, etc. are stacked on the stack from this initial address. Then, the stack pointer returns to the initial address by sequentially reading from the stack stacked last to the stack stacked first.

  Following step S520, the payout control MPU 633aa determines whether the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG has a value of 0 (step S522). As described above, the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is set to a value 1 when the payout information is erased, and to a value 0 when the payout information is not erased.

  In the determination of step S522, when the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is 0, that is, when it is determined that the payout information is not erased, the payout control MPU 633aa calculates a checksum (step S524). This checksum is to calculate the total by regarding the payout information stored in the payout control built-in RAM as a numerical value.

  Subsequent to step S524, the payout control MPU 633aa determines whether or not the calculated checksum value matches the checksum value stored in the payout control unit power-off processing (power-off) described later. (Step S526). When it is determined in step S526 that the payout control MPU 633aa matches, it is determined whether the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is equal to 1 (step S528). The payout backup flag HBK-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not payout backup information such as the payout information and the checksum value is stored and held in the payout control internal RAM in the payout control unit power-off process described later. The value is set to 1 when the control unit power-off process is ended normally, and to 0 when the payout control unit power-off process is not ended normally.

  When it is determined in step S528 that the payout control MPU 633aa that the payout backup flag HBK-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that the payout control unit power-off process has ended normally, The work area of is set (step S530). In this setting, in addition to the value 0 being set to the payout backup flag HBK-FLG, recovery information is read from the ROM built in the payout control MPU 633 aa (that is, the ROM for payout control) and at the time of this power recovery. Information is set in the work area of the payout control built-in RAM. Thus, the above-described payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas, and the like (for example, an award stored in the prize ball information storage area) PRDY signal output setting information in which the logic state of the PRDY signal is set, which is stored in the ball stock number PBS, real ball count PB, drive command number DRV, mismatch counter INCC, etc. and CR communication information storage area Information to be used for various processes is set based on the payout information related to the payout of the inconsistency counter reset determination time etc. stored in the time management information storage area. Note that “power recovery” includes the state where power is turned on after the power is shut off, as well as the state where power is restored after a power failure or momentary power failure.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S522, the payout control MPU 633aa determines that the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is not 0 (is the value 1), that is, when it is determined to clear the payout information, or in the determination of step S526. When the payout control MPU 633 aa determines that the checksum values do not match, or when the payout control MPU 633 aa determines that the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is not 1 in the determination of step S 528 (value 0), that is, If it is determined that the processing at the time of power-off of the payout control unit is not normally ended, the entire area of the payout control internal RAM is cleared (step S532). As a result, the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is cleared.

  Following step S532, the payout control MPU 633aa sets a work area of the payout control internal RAM as an initial setting (step S534). In this setting, initial information is read out from the dispensing control built-in ROM, and this initial information is set in the working area of the dispensing control built-in RAM.

  Subsequent to step S530 or step S534, the payout control MPU 633aa performs interrupt initialization (step S536). This setting is to set an interrupt cycle when a payout control unit timer interrupt process described later is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 2 ms.

  Subsequent to step S536, the payout control MPU 633aa performs interrupt permission setting (step S538). With this setting, the payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed at the interrupt cycle set in step S536, that is, every 2 ms.

  Following step S538, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the value A to the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S539). The value A, the value B and the value C are sequentially set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL to clear the watchdog timer.

  Following step S539, the payout control MPU 633aa determines whether or not a power failure notice signal is input (step S540). When shutting down the power supply of pachinko machine 1 or when a power failure or momentary stoppage occurs, as described above, when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310X It is input. The determination in step S540 is performed based on the power failure advance signal.

  In the determination of step S540, when the payout control MPU 633aa determines that there is no input of the power failure advance signal, it determines whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value 1 (step S542). The 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag that counts 2 ms in the payout control unit timer interrupt processing that is processed every 2 ms, which will be described later. When 2 ms has elapsed, the value 1 and 2 ms have not elapsed. It is set.

  In the determination of step S 542, when the payout control MPU 633 aa determines that the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is 0, that is, when 2 ms has not elapsed, the process returns to step S 540, and the payout control MPU 633 aa receives a power failure notification signal. It is judged whether it is done or not.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S542, when the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is the value 1, that is, when it is determined that 2 ms has elapsed, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG to the value 0 (step S544). ).

  Following step S544, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the value B to the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S546). At this time, the value B is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL following the value A set in step S539.

  Following step S546, the payout control MPU 633aa performs port output processing (step S548). In this port output process, various information is read from the output information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and various signals are output from the output terminals of various output ports of the payout control MPU 633aa based on the various information. In the output information storage area, for example, payer ACK information that indicates that various commands related to the payout from the main control board 1310X (a prize ball command and a self check command) are normally received, and drive control to the payout motor 584 is performed. Various information such as drive information, ball number information on the number of balls for which the payout motor 584 actually paid out the game balls, and LED display information to be displayed on the error LED display 633c are stored, and payout is made based on this output information. When various commands related to the payout from the main control board 1310X are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the control MPU 633aa, the payout ACK signal is output to the main control board 1310X or the drive signal is output to the payout motor 584 Or the number of balls for which the payout motor 584 actually paid out the game balls is used as the ball number information output signal. Te and outputs to the external terminal board 558 (in this embodiment, and outputs the winning balls count information output signal to the external terminal board 558 each payout motor 584 is actually paid out ten game balls.

  Specifically, a counter for judging the number-of-balls information output judgment for judging whether or not to output the number-of-balls information is provided. The ball number of the game balls paid out is counted based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 in the port input process of step S550 described later, and the ball number of the game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584. It is stored and updated in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM by a process (program) (not shown) for monitoring.

  In a process (program) (not shown) for monitoring the number of balls of the gaming balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584, the prize ball number information output determination counter stored in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control internal RAM. Based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 in the port input process of step S550 described later, the value of the ball number of the gaming balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 is added to the value and stored and updated.

  In the port output process of step S548, the value of the prize ball number information output determination counter is read from the prize ball information storage area, and when the value of the read prize ball number information output determination counter exceeds the value 10 ( That is, when the number of balls of the game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 reaches 10 balls, a prize ball number information output signal is output to the external terminal board 558 (in this case, the number of balls exceeded) The value is stored and updated in the award ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM described above as the value of the award ball number information output determination counter), and the display signal is output to the error LED indicator 633c.

  Subsequent to step S548, the payout control MPU 633aa performs port input processing (step S550). In this port input process, various signals input to the input terminals of the various input ports of the payout control MPU 633aa are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the payout control internal RAM. For example, an operation signal (RAM clear signal) of the RAM clear switch 1310 f, a detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590, a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591, a detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154, and a BRQ signal from the CR unit. , BRDY signal and CR connection signal, and a main payment ACK signal from the main control board 1310 X for notifying that the main control board 1310 X has normally received various commands transmitted in the command transmission processing described later, and the like as input information Store in the input information storage area.

  Subsequent to step S550, the payout control MPU 633aa performs a timer update process (step S552). In this timer update process, when it is determined whether or not the ball arm state is generated by the discharge blade 589 to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the motor 584 is transmitted, the ball arm judgment time set as the judgment condition, The skip determination time set when the fixed position determination of the payout blade 589 is not performed, the lower plate 202 is set as the determination condition when determining whether or not the game balls stored in the full is full When it is determined whether or not the number of gaming balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is greater than or equal to a predetermined number based on the detection signal from the ball breakage detection sensor 574 that is full. Besides performing time management such as the out-of-ball judgment time set as the judgment condition, the number of balls of the game ball paid out by being received by the ball accommodating portion 589 b of the distraction blade 589 It is determined whether or not to reset the inconsistency counter INCC for monitoring whether or not the payout of the game ball which is inconsistent due to the mismatch between the number of balls detected by the payout detection sensor 591 is repeated. At this time, time management of the inconsistency counter reset judgment time set as the judgment condition is performed. For example, since the timer interruption period is set to 2 ms when the ball set determination time is set to 5005 ms, the ball set determination time is reduced by 2 ms each time this timer update processing is performed, and the subtraction result is a value By becoming 0, it is measuring the ball gambling judgment time correctly. These various determination times are stored as time management information in the time management information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM.

  Subsequent to step S552, the payout control MPU 633aa performs a CR communication process (step S554). In this CR communication process, the input information is read out from the above-described input information storage area, and based on this input information, whether various signals (BRQ signal, BRDY signal and CR connection signal) from the CR unit are input or not judge. The payout control MPU 633aa exchanges various signals with the CR unit based on various signals from the CR unit. In the process of setting the work area of the payout control internal RAM in step S530, as described above, various flags which are payout backup information stored in the payout control internal RAM, and various information stored in the various information storage area (For example, the number of ball stock PBS, the number of real ball count PB, the number of drive command DRV, the number of misaligned counters INCC, etc. stored in the prize ball information storage area, and the PRDY stored in the CR communication information storage area Information to be used for various processes is set based on the payout information on the payout of the PRDY signal output setting information etc. in which the logic state of the signal is set.

  By this process, for example, even if there is a momentary power failure or power failure, values such as the number of ball stock PBS, actual ball count PB, number of drive commands DRV, inconsistency counter INCC, etc. at power recovery are stored as payout backup information. The values can be restored to values such as the winning ball stock number PBS, the real ball count PB, the driving command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. immediately before the instantaneous stop or power failure. Thereby, even when the payout operation of the gaming ball by the payout device 580 is being executed, even if the payout operation can not be continued due to a momentary stop or power failure, the payout operation can be continued at the time of power recovery. Since it is possible, the game balls can be paid out to the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 without excess or deficiency. In other words, while the payout control MPU 633 aa is exchanging various signals with the CR unit in the CR communication processing, the payout control MPU 633 aa causes a momentary power loss or a power failure while paying out the gaming ball to the upper plate 201 or the lower plate 202 Even if the exchange of various signals is interrupted and it is not possible to continue the payout of the game balls, the number of ball stock number PBS, real ball count PB, number of drive commands DRV, mismatch counter INCC, etc. The value is restored to a value such as a prize ball stock number PBS, a real ball count PB, a drive command number DRV, an inconsistency counter INCC, etc. immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure, stored as payout backup information. The exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (delivery control MPU 633 aa) and the CR unit just before stopping or power failure is restored. It is possible to continue from, so that it is possible to continue to payout of game balls.

  As described above, the exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU 633 aa) and the CR unit is restored to the state immediately before the momentary stop or stop upon power recovery even if the momentary stop or stop occurs. The various signals by the pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU 633 aa) and the CR unit do not change due to the influence of a momentary stop or stop. Therefore, the reliability of exchange of various signals by the pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU 633 aa) and the CR unit can be enhanced.

  Also, various information stored in the CR communication information storage area is included in the payout backup information. In the CR communication process, when the power returns, the PRDY signal output setting information is read out from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control internal RAM, which is set in the process for setting the work area of the payout control internal RAM in step S530. For example, when the read PRDY signal output setting information is set to the logic state of the PRDY signal which indicates that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible, for example, the payout control of the PRDY signal is performed. Output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the MPU 633aa. Then, for example, in the retry operation monitoring process performed as one process of the main operation setting process, the value of the inconsistency counter INCC of the award ball information storage area stored in the payout control internal RAM, which is included in the payout backup information. It is determined whether the value of the mismatch counter INCC is smaller than the mismatch threshold INCTH based on and if the value of the mismatch counter INCC is not smaller than the mismatch threshold INCTH, the retry operation operates abnormally. If it is determined that the payout operation of the gaming ball by the payout device 580 is abnormal, that is, the retry error flag RTERR-FLG is set to a value of 1, and in the payout ball game operation determination setting process, As setting of the error status to CR unit, for example, when not communicating with CR unit The logic state of the PRDY signal informing of dispensing operation is not possible (LOW) is set to PRDY signal output setting information stored in the CR communication information storage area for exiting.

  Thus, in the CR communication process, the logic state of the PRDY signal is read out from the CR communication information storage area at the next timer interrupt after power recovery, and the PRDY signal is an output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 633 aa. Output to the CR unit. Thus, for example, immediately before the momentary stop, if the payout operation of the gaming ball by the payout device 580 is in an abnormal state, since the state is restored at the time of power recovery, it is extremely early after power recovery. At the stage, a PRDY signal can be output from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 633 aa to the CR unit, and a payout device 580 can be delivered to the CR unit. Can be informed that the game ball payout operation by the player is in an abnormal state. As a result, it is possible to prevent the output of BRDY, which is a useless ball rental request signal from the CR unit, at an extremely early stage after power recovery.

  Also, in the CR communication process, in the port input process of step S550, the CR connection signal is read out from the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and the logic is HI based on this CR connection signal, that is, pachinko machine When the power is turned on and the payout control board 633 and the CR unit are electrically connected, PRDY is used to indicate that the payout operation for paying out the rental balls is possible. While the logic state of the signal is HI and is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 633aa to the CR unit, the logic is LOW, that is, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. When the dispensing control board 633 and the CR unit are not electrically connected, the dispensing operation for dispensing the rental balls is impossible. To convey the fact is outputted from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the dispensing control MPU633aa to CR unit logic state of the PRDY signal as LOW. The state of the logic of the EXS signal that indicates that one dispensing operation has been started or ended is stored in the CR communication information storage area of the dispensing control internal RAM as EXS signal output setting information, and A CR connection signal that indicates whether or not the CR unit is electrically connected is stored in the state information storage area as CR connection information.

  Following step S554, the payout control MPU 633aa performs full tank and out-of-balls check processing (step S556). In this full tank and out-of-ball check process, the input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and based on this input information, the gaming ball in which the lower tray 202 is stored by the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 The number of gaming balls taken into the guiding passage 570a of the above-mentioned ball guiding unit 570 is determined by the detection signal from the ball breakage detecting sensor 574 or more by the detection signal from the ball breakage detecting sensor 574 or more. It is determined whether or not the For example, the determination as to whether or not the lower plate 202 is full with the gaming balls stored therein uses the timer interrupt cycle 2 ms to check from the full detection sensor 154 in the current full / full out check process. When the detection signal is ON, and the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is OFF in the previous (2 ms ago) full tank and out-of-ball check process, that is, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 turns from OFF to ON When transition is made, counting of the full tank determination time described above is started in the timer update process of step S552. Then, when the full tank determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the full tank determination time is reached, whether the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is ON in the full tank and out-of-ball check process It is determined whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is ON, the lower plate 202 stores the full game information in the above-described state information storage area, which indicates that the game ball is full and it is full. Do. On the other hand, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is OFF, full information is transmitted to the state information storage area to indicate that the lower tray 202 is not full with gaming balls stored therein.

  It is also determined whether the number of gaming balls taken into the guiding passage 570a of the ball guiding unit 570 is equal to or more than a predetermined number using the timer interrupt cycle 2 ms to check whether the current tank is full or not. When the detection signal from the ball breakage switch is ON, and when the detection signal from the ball breakage switch is OFF in the previous (2 ms before) full tank and ball breakage check processing, that is, the detection signal from the ball breakage detection sensor 574 is When transitioning from OFF to ON, clocking of the ball out determination time described above in the timer update process of step S552 is started. Then, when the ball out determination time has become 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the ball out determination time has come, whether the detection signal from the ball out detection sensor 574 is ON in this full tank and out of ball check process It is determined whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the ball breakage detection sensor 574 is ON, it is determined that the number of gaming balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is greater than or equal to a predetermined number. When information is stored in the state information storage area while the detection signal from the ball breakage detection sensor 574 is OFF, it is assumed that the number of gaming balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not more than the predetermined number. The out-of-ball information to that effect is stored in the state information storage area.

  Subsequent to step S556, the payout control MPU 633aa performs command reception processing (step S558). In this command reception process, various commands related to the payout from the main control board 1310X (a prize ball command and a self check command) are received. When the various commands are normally received, the payer ACK information to that effect is stored in the output information storage area described above. On the other hand, when various commands can not be received normally, a connection error is transmitted that indicates that the connection between the main control substrate 1310X and the payout control substrate 633 is abnormal (the various command signals are abnormal). Information is stored in the state information storage area described above.

  Subsequent to step S558, the payout control MPU 633aa performs command analysis processing (step S560). In this command analysis process, the command received in step S558 is analyzed, and the analyzed command is stored as reception command information in the reception command information storage area of the payout control internal RAM.

  Subsequent to step S560, the payout control MPU 633aa performs main operation setting processing (step S562). In this main operation setting process, operations such as winning balls, lending balls, dropping balls, and ball gloves are set, determination of retry operation is performed, and the number of unpaid balls (number of winning balls stock) is monitored. .

  Subsequent to step S562, the payout control MPU 633aa performs an LED display data creation process (step S564). In this LED display data creation process, various information is read out from the above-mentioned state information storage area, and display data to be displayed on the error LED indicator 633c of the payout control board 633 is created and output information storage area mentioned above as LED display information. Remember. For example, the above-mentioned ball out information is read out from the state information storage area, and based on this ball out information, when the number of balls of the game ball taken into the guiding passage 570a of the ball guiding unit 570 is not more than a predetermined number, Display data (in the present embodiment, display value 1 (number “1”)) is created and LED display information is stored in the output information storage area.

  Subsequent to step S564, the payout control MPU 633aa performs command transmission processing (step S566). In this command transmission process, various information is read from the above-mentioned state information storage area, and various commands (frame state 1 command, error cancellation navi command and frame state 2 command) to be classified into the state display based on the various information are created. Then, it transmits to the main control board 1310X. For example, when the out-of-ball information is read out from the state information storage area, the frame state 1 is obtained when the number of balls of the gaming ball taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not more than a predetermined number. A command is created and transmitted to the main control board 1310X.

  Following step S566, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the value C to the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S568). The value C is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL in step S568, so that the value C is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL following the value B set in step S546. As a result, the value A, the value B and the value C are sequentially set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, and the watchdog timer is cleared.

  Following step S568, the payout control MPU 633aa returns the process to step S539 again, sets the value A in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, and determines in step S540 whether or not the power failure notification signal is input. If there is no signal input, it is determined in step S542 whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, and when this 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, that is, 2 ms has elapsed, step S544. At step S546, the value B is set to the watchdog timer clear register HWCL at step S546, port output processing is performed at step S548, and port input processing is performed at step S550, and step S552. Perform timer update processing, and step S5 At step S556, the CR communication process is performed. At step S556, the full tank and ball out check process is performed. At step S558, the command reception process is performed. At step S560, the command analysis process is performed. The LED display data creation process is performed in S564, the command transmission process is performed in step S566, the value C is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL in step S568, and steps S539 to S568 are repeated. The process of steps S539 to S568 is referred to as "payout control unit main process".

  The processing content of the payout control unit main processing varies in accordance with the progress of the game by the main control board 1310X. For this reason, the time required for the processing of the payout control MPU 633aa will vary. Therefore, in the port output process of step S548, the payout control MPU 633aa preferentially outputs, to the main control board 1310X, a payment acknowledgment signal indicating that various commands related to the payout from the main control board 1310X have been normally received. There is. As a result, the payout control MPU 633 aa secures the processing time so that other fluctuating processing can be sufficiently performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S540 that the payout control MPU 633aa determines that there has been an input of a power failure advance signal, the payout control MPU 633aa performs interrupt prohibition setting (step S570). With this setting, a payout control unit timer interrupt process to be described later is not performed, the writing to the payout control internal RAM is prevented, and the rewriting of the payout information described above is protected.

  Following step S570, the payout control MPU 633aa stops the output of the drive signal to the payout motor 584 (step S574). Thereby, the payout of the game ball is stopped.

  Following step S 574, the payout control MPU 633 aa performs setting for clearing the watchdog timer (step S 576). This clear setting is performed by sequentially setting the value A, the value B and the value C in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL as described above.

  Following step S576, the payout control MPU 633aa calculates a checksum and stores the calculated value (step S578). This checksum is calculated by regarding the payout information of the work area of the payout control built-in RAM as a numerical value, excluding the storage area of the value of the checksum and the value of the payout backup flag HBK-FLG calculated in step S524.

  Following step S578, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the payout backup flag HBK-FLG to the value 1 (step S580). This completes the storage of the payout backup information.

  Following step S 580, the payout control MPU 633 aa prohibits access to the payout control internal RAM (step S 582). By this setting, access to the payout control internal RAM is inhibited and writing and reading can not be performed, and the payout backup information stored in the payout control internal RAM is protected.

  Following step S 582, the payout control MPU 633 aa enters an infinite loop. In this infinite loop, since the value A, the value B and the value C are not sequentially set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, the watchdog timer is not cleared. For this reason, the payout control MPU 633 aa is reset, and then the payout control unit power-on process is performed again. The process of step S570 to step S582 and the infinite loop are referred to as "payout control unit power-off process".

  The pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU 633 aa) is reset when a power failure occurs or when it is momentarily stopped, and the payout control unit is turned on when the power is restored thereafter.

  In step S526, it is checked whether the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is normal or not, and in step S528, whether or not the processing upon power-off of the payout control unit has been normally completed. Is examining. As described above, by checking the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM in duplicate, it is checked whether or not the payout backup information is stored due to fraud.

[17-2. Disbursement control unit timer interrupt processing]
Next, the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described. The payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (2 ms in the present embodiment) set in the payout control unit power-on process shown in FIGS.

  When the payout control unit timer interrupt process is started, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the timer interrupt to be inhibited and switches (saves) the register as shown in FIG. 184 (step S590). Here, the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) used in the above-described payout control unit main processing is switched to the auxiliary register. By using this auxiliary register in the dispensing control unit timer interrupt processing, the value of the general purpose register is not overwritten. This prevents the destruction of the contents of the general purpose register used in the payout control unit main processing.

  Following step S590, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG to the value 1 (step S592). This 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag that counts 2 ms every time 2 ms of this payout control unit timer interrupt processing is performed, that is, a value of 0 when 1 ms or 2 ms has not elapsed when 2 ms has elapsed. Each is set.

  Subsequent to step S592, the payout control MPU 633aa switches (returns) the register (step S594). This return is switched from the auxiliary register used in the dispensing control unit timer interrupt processing to the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register). By using this general-purpose register in the payout control unit main processing, the value of the auxiliary register is not overwritten. This prevents the destruction of the contents of the auxiliary register used in the dispensing control unit timer interrupt processing.

  Following step S594, the payout control MPU 633aa sets the interrupt permission (step S596), and ends this routine.

[18. Various control processing of peripheral control board]
Next, various processes of the peripheral control board 1510 for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310X (main control MPU 1310a) shown in FIG. 151 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 185 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit power-on processing, FIG. 186 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, and FIG. 187 is an example of peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing FIG. 188 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and FIG. 189 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interruption processing. First, peripheral control unit power on processing will be described, and then peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, peripheral control unit power failure notification signal interrupt processing will be described. . In the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit blackout notification signal interrupt processing is set highest as the priority of the interrupt processing, and then the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and peripheral control unit It is set in order of V blank interrupt processing.

  As described above, in the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510, the CPU, the RAM, the VDP, the VRAM, the sound source, the SATA controller, various I / O interfaces and the like are integrated on one semiconductor chip.

[18-1. Peripheral control unit power-on process]
First, peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described with reference to FIG. When the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, under the control of the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510, as shown in FIG. When the power-on process of the peripheral control unit is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs an initial setting process (step S1000). In this initial setting process, a process of initializing the peripheral control IC 1510a itself, a process of determining a hot start / cold start, a process of setting a wait timer after reset, a process of transferring various control information (peripheral data), etc. I do. The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a first performs processing for initializing the peripheral control IC 1510a itself, but the time taken for the processing for initializing the peripheral control IC 1510a is on the order of microseconds (μs), and the peripheral control IC 1510a is extremely short. Can be initialized. As a result, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a enters a state in which the interrupt permission is set, for example, a command related to control of a game effect, which is output from the main control board 1310X in peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing described later. It will be in the state which can receive various commands, such as a command regarding the state of pachinko machine 1, or.

  Subsequent to step S1000, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs current time information acquisition processing (step S1002). In this current time information acquisition process, calendar information for specifying a date and time information for specifying hour / minute / second are acquired from a built-in RAM of a real time clock IC (not shown), and the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a Set calendar information and current time information.

  In this embodiment, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a acquires calendar information and time information from the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC only once at the time of power on. In addition, after the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs this current time information acquisition processing, a clear signal is output to the external WDT (not shown) so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is not reset.

  Following step S1002, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a sets the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG to the value 0 (step S1004). The V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not peripheral control unit steady processing to be described later is to be performed, and has a value of 1 when peripheral control unit steady processing is executed, and peripheral control unit steady processing The value is set to 0 when not executing. The V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is input from the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510 a from the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510 a to indicate that the screen data (information defining the configuration of the screen) from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510 a can be received. A value of 1 is set in peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing to be executed, which will be described later, which is triggered by the event. In step S1004, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is initialized once by setting the value 0 to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG. Further, after setting the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG to 0, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a outputs a clear signal to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is not reset.

  Subsequent to step S1004, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1 (step S1006). If the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a determines that V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is not 1 (is 0), the process returns to step S1006 again to determine whether V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is 1 It is repeatedly determined whether or not. By repeating such a determination, it will be in the state which waits until peripheral control part steady processing is performed. After the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1, it outputs a clear signal to external WDT so that the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a is not reset. ing.

  In the determination of step S1006, when the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1, that is, it is determined that peripheral control unit steady processing is to be performed, the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG is first set. The value 1 is set (step S1008). The steady process in progress flag SP-FLG is set to a value 1 when the peripheral control unit steady process is being executed, and a value 0 when the peripheral control unit steady process is completed.

  Subsequent to step S1008, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs 1 ms interrupt timer activation processing (step S1010). In this 1 ms interrupt timer activation process, the 1 ms interrupt timer for executing peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing to be described later is activated, and the number of times the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated and peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is executed. The value 1 is set to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN for counting and the initialization of the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN is also performed. The 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is updated by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process.

  Subsequent to step S1010, the CPU of the periphery control IC 1510a performs a rendering operation unit monitoring process (step S1014). In this effect operation unit monitoring process, in the effect operation unit information acquisition process in peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process described later, the first rotation detection sensor 347, the second rotation detection sensor 348, and the press detection provided in the effect operation unit 300 Based on detection signals from various detection sensors (hereinafter, referred to as “various sensors provided in the rendering operation unit 300”) such as the sensor 381, the elevation detection sensor 382, etc., the rotation (rotation direction) of the rotation operation unit 302 and Various information (for example, rotation (rotation direction) history information of the rotation operation unit 302 created based on detection signals from various sensors provided in the rendering operation unit 300, and pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 and the like) Based on the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a in which the operation history information of the unit 303, etc.) is set. Monitors operation whether the rotational direction and the pushing operation section 303 of the rotary operation unit 302, appropriately determined whether to reflect the status of the operation of the rotation direction and the pushing operation section 303 of the rotary operation unit 302 to the game effects.

  Note that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a also performs lamp pallet setting processing as one processing of the rendering operation unit monitoring processing. In the lamp pallet setting process, the luminance of the LED used as direct light and the luminance of the LED used as indirect light based on the lamp pallet setting table configured from the above-described designated luminance value, normal pallet value, and special pallet value And, respectively. During the demonstration (demonstrating demonstration in a player waiting state) and effects, the lamp pallet setting process is executed, and the player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like) operates the effect operation unit 301 (rotation operation) When one luminance designation value ranging from the first luminance designation value to the 31st luminance designation value which is the maximum luminance is set by operating the portion 302 and the pressing operation portion 303), the set luminance The gradation information set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a can be updated so as to be a designated value.

  Following step S1014, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs display data output processing (step S1016). In this display data output process, the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a reads image data from the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 based on an instruction from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a and generates it on the VRAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. The drawing data for one screen (one frame) is output to the liquid crystal output substrate 1530. Thus, various screens (images) are drawn (displayed) on the effect display device 1600. In the display data output process, when drawing is performed that exceeds the drawing capability of the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a, outputting of the generated drawing data of one screen (one frame) is canceled. There is. Although this can prevent a delay in the processing time, so-called dropouts may occur, but the vibration speaker 354, the top center speaker 462, the top side speaker 464, and the main frame by sound data output processing described later. From the various speakers such as the speaker 622 (hereinafter referred to as "various speakers"), it is possible to give priority to effects by music or sound effects adapted to various effects. Further, in this display data output process, the door frame 3 is selected according to the light emission data indicated by the pointer out of the light emission data arranged in time series constituting the light emission mode generation schedule data set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. It outputs to various decoration boards provided and various decoration boards (including panel drive board 1720) provided in game board 5.

  Following step S1016, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs sound data output processing (step S1018). In this sound data output process, in the sound data creation process described later, the sound source of the peripheral control IC 1510a reads the sound data from the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 based on an instruction from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a and sets the output channels to various speakers Output. As a result, sounds such as music and sound effects that match various effects flow from various speakers.

  Subsequent to step S1018, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs scheduler update processing (step S1020). In this scheduler update process, various schedule data set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a are updated. For example, in the scheduler update process, in order to instruct which screen data is to be output to the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510 a from the head screen data among the screen data arranged in time series that configures screen generation schedule data To update the pointer.

  In addition, in the scheduler update process, a pointer is used to indicate which light emission data is to be output starting from the light emission data at the top among the light emission data arranged in time series that configures the light emission mode generation schedule data. Update.

  Also, in the scheduler update process, the sound at the top of the sound command data instructing sound data such as music and sound effects and sound data of notification sounds and notification sounds arranged in time series that make up the sound generation schedule data The pointer is updated in order to instruct which sound command data is to be output from the command data to the sound source of the peripheral control IC 1510a.

  Also, in the scheduler update processing, among drive data of electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in time series that make up the electric drive source schedule data, it is assumed that the drive data of the first one is output target Update the pointer to indicate what to do. Drive data of electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in time series constituting the electric drive source schedule data is peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt which is repeatedly executed each time 1 ms timer interrupt described later is generated. Updated with motor and solenoid drive processing in processing. In the motor and solenoid drive processing that is repeatedly executed each time the 1 ms timer interrupt occurs, the electric drive source such as the motor and solenoid is driven according to the drive data indicated by the pointer, and the next drive defined in time series is performed. It updates pointers to data, and updates pointers every time it executes its own processing. That is, since the drive data instructed by the pointer updated in the motor and solenoid drive processing is forcibly updated in the scheduler update process, the pointer is originally instructed for some reason in the motor and solenoid drive processing. Even when other driving data is designated from the driving data to be designated, the data is forcibly updated so as to designate the driving data to be originally designated in the scheduler updating process.

  Subsequent to step S1020, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a received command analysis process (step S1022). In this reception command analysis process, various commands transmitted from the main control board 1310X are received in the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process described later, and the various commands received are analyzed. Various commands from the main control board 1310X are received by peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing and stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. In this reception command analysis processing, they are stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a Analyze the various commands The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a reads out screen generation schedule data, light emission mode generation schedule data, sound generation schedule data, electrical drive source schedule data, etc. from the control ROM 1510b based on the analyzed various commands ( Extract) and set in the RAM of peripheral control IC 1510a.

  Note that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a also performs lamp pallet setting processing as one processing of the received command analysis processing. In the lamp pallet setting process, the luminance of the LED used as direct light and the luminance of the LED used as indirect light based on the lamp pallet setting table configured from the above-described designated luminance value, normal pallet value, and special pallet value And, respectively. The peripheral control IC 1510a analyzes various commands from the main control board 1310X, reads out (extracts) the light emission mode generation schedule data from the control ROM 1510b based on the analyzed various commands, and executes the lamp pallet setting process. And the player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like) operates the rendering operation unit 301 (the rotation operation unit 302, the pressing operation unit 303) to obtain the above-mentioned first brightness designated value to the maximum brightness. When one luminance designation value ranging up to 31 luminance designation values is set, the gradation information described above can be updated and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a so as to become the set luminance designation value. It is supposed to be.

  In addition, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a, the command from the main control board 1310X received in this peripheral control unit command interrupt processing, for example, the starting opening winning command for instructing the start of starting opening winning effect, a normal symbol of Normal symbol memory command for identifying the number of reservations (0 to 4), symbol tuning effect start command for instructing the start of symbol tuning effect, symbol memory command which is output when the number of start suspension changes, a special winning opening Whether or not it is a large winning opening 1 count display command output each time a game ball is accepted in 2005 is analyzed, and it is recognized which gaming state is currently.

  Various commands from the main control board 1310X are received by peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing and stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. In received command analysis processing, they are stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. Analyze various commands.

  Note that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a analyzes various commands stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a in this received command analysis process, and when the various commands classified into the specific history are included, they are not shown. The specific history information is updated in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC. Specifically, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a analyzes various commands stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a in this received command analysis process, and the number of gaming balls collected at the out port 1008 is 10 balls. Every time it reaches, when the ball collection command is sent to notify that effect, the above-mentioned ball collection information is updated and the ball collection history information is stored in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown). When the setting change command to notify the effect is included, the setting value history information described above is updated and stored in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown) or the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is abnormal ( Or when an error display command to notify that it can not be trusted) is included. A setting key to update error display history information and store it in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown) or to confirm the set value stored in the set value dedicated area described later in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. When the ON operation command of is included, the ON operation history information of the setting key described above is updated and stored in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown).

  Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a analyzes various commands stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a in the received command analysis processing, and when the ON operation command of the setting key is included, the ball collection history described above A predetermined specific history information display permission condition for allowing display permission of specific history information such as information, setting value history information, error display history information, and ON operation history information of a setting key is satisfied. In the state where the predetermined specific history information display permission condition is satisfied, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a rotation operation and a pressing operation of the rotation operation unit 302 by a person who confirms the specific history information in the rendering operation unit monitoring process of step S1014. It is monitored whether or not the pressing operation of the section 303 is performed, and when it is operated, the image displayed so far is switched to the specific history information display image for selecting and displaying the specific history information, and the effect display device The screen generation schedule data to be displayed in the display area 1600 is read out (extracted) from the control ROM 1510 b and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510 a. The peripheral control IC 1510a analyzes various commands stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a in this received command analysis process, and when the setting key OFF operation command is included, the specific history information display image is displayed If it is displayed in the display area of the device 1600, the screen generation schedule data of the image displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 immediately before switching to the specific history information display image is switched back to the original.

  Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a analyzes various commands stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a in the received command analysis processing, and when an error display command is included, the display area of the effect display device 1600 is displayed. The screen generation schedule data for displaying the message image of the white character "Error has occurred" in the blue background image is read out (extracted) from the control ROM 1510b and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. Then, an announcement that "an error has occurred" is set to the maximum volume, and sound generation schedule data for streaming from various speakers is read out (extracted) from the control ROM 1510b and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a.

  Subsequent to step S1022, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a warning process (step S1024). In this warning process, when the commands analyzed in the received command analysis process in step S1022 include various commands classified as notification display, they are set to an abnormality display mode for executing various abnormality notifications. The screen generation schedule data, the light emission mode generation schedule data, the sound generation schedule data, the electrical drive source schedule data and the like are read out (extracted) from the control ROM 1510 b and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510 a. In the warning process, when a plurality of abnormalities occur simultaneously, the abnormality notification is performed from the highest priority registered in advance to the abnormality notification, and the abnormality is automatically resolved to another abnormality notification that has been resolved. It is supposed to By this, it is possible to simultaneously monitor a plurality of abnormalities without losing information that one abnormality has occurred after another abnormality has occurred and before the other is resolved. Can.

  Following step S1024, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs an RCT acquisition information update process (step S1026). In this RTC acquisition information update process, the calendar information and time information acquired in the current time information acquisition process of step S1002 and stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a are updated. By this RCT acquisition information update process, hour, minute, and second which are time information stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a are updated, and calendar information stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a based on the updated time information The date is updated.

  Following step S1026, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs display data creation processing (step S1030). In this display data creation process, the pointer is updated in the scheduler update process of step S1020, and the screen data indicated by the pointer is displayed from the control ROM 1510b among the screen data arranged in time series that constitutes the screen generation schedule data. It reads out (extracts) and outputs it to VDP of peripheral control IC 1510a.

  When screen data is input from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a, the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a reads image data from the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 based on the input screen data and draws (displays) it on the effect display device 1600. Drawing data for one screen (one frame) is generated in the built-in VRAM.

  Subsequent to step S1030, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a sound data creation process (step S1032). In this sound data creation process, among the sound command data arranged in time series that the pointer is updated in the scheduler update process of step S1020 and that is the sound generation schedule data, the sound command data indicated by the pointer is It reads out (extracts) from the control ROM 1510 b and sets it in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510 a. When sound command data is input from the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a, the sound source of peripheral control IC 1510a reads the sound data from SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 and performs sound data such as music and sound effects according to the track numbers defined in the sound command data. In addition, set the output channel to be used according to the output channel number.

  In the sound data creation process, each time the sound data creation process is performed (that is, each time the peripheral control unit steady process is performed), the volume adjustment switch 1510d is selected based on the volume adjustment operation signal from the volume adjustment switch 1510d. The slide position is specified. The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a controls the sound source of the peripheral control IC 1510a so that the volume corresponds to the slide position of the volume adjustment switch 1510d, and is set in this sound data creation processing in the sound data output processing of step S1018. Output sound data from the output channel to various speakers. As a result, sounds such as music and sound effects are made to flow from various speakers according to various effects.

  In addition, the notification sound and the notification sound flow without being totally dependent on the volume adjustment based on the slide operation of the volume adjustment switch 1510d, and the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is surrounded by the program from the mute to the maximum volume. The sound source of the control IC 1510a can be controlled and adjusted. The volume adjusted by this program is designed to be able to smoothly change from mute to maximum volume. For example, even if an attendant such as a store clerk in the game hall slides the volume adjustment switch 1510d to set the volume small, the pachinko machine 1 reduces the effect sound such as music and sound effects flowing from the various speakers. The notification sound set to the large volume (in the present embodiment, the maximum volume) can be made to flow when the problem occurs in the above or when the player is performing a wrongdoing. Therefore, even if the volume of the effect sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the notification sound from making it difficult for a clerk such as a salesperson in the game hall to notice the occurrence of a malfunction or the player's fraudulent act. Also, based on the current volume set by volume adjustment based on the slide operation of the volume adjustment switch 1510d, the volume of the advertisement sound is reduced to prevent it from interfering with music or sound effects. There is a possibility that the screen (image) developed in the effect display device 1600 may be rendered more powerful as the sound volume is increased to add music and sound effects, or the game state may be shifted to the player's advantageous gaming state. It can also be announced that it is expensive.

  Subsequent to step S1032, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs backup processing (step S1034). In this backup processing, the contents stored in the RAM of peripheral control IC 1510a are copied and backed up to the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of peripheral control IC 1510a, and the contents stored in SDRAM 1510c1 and 1510c2 are stored in SDRAM 1510c1 and SDRAM 1510c1, Copy to the regular process backup area provided in 1510 c 2 and back it up.

  Following step S1034, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a performs WDT clear processing (step S1036). In this WDT clear processing, a clear signal is output to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510 a is not reset.

  Following step S1036, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a sets the flag SP-FLG to 0 during steady processing as completion of peripheral control unit steady processing (step S1038), and returns to step S1004 again to detect the V blank signal The flag VB-FLG is initialized by setting the value 0, and the determination in step S1006 is repeated until the value V is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing described later. That is, in step S1006, the process waits until the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, and when it is determined in step S1006 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is the value 1, steps S1008 to S1008 The process of S1038 is performed, and the process returns to step S1004 again. As described above, when it is determined in step S1006 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has the value 1, the processing of steps S1008 to S1038 is performed. The process of steps S1008 to S1038 is referred to as "peripheral control unit steady process".

  In this peripheral control unit steady processing, first, the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed in step S1008, starting from setting the value 1 to the flag SP-FLG during steady processing, and in step S1010 the 1 ms interrupt timer activation processing , And step S1036 and finally, in step S1038, when the value in the steady process in progress flag SP-FLG is set to 0 as the completion of the execution of the peripheral control unit steady process, the process is completed. Become. The peripheral control unit steady processing is executed when the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1 in step S1006. As described above, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG indicates that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG can receive screen data from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510 a from the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510 a to the peripheral control IC 1510 a. A value of 1 is set in peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which will be described later, which is executed in response to input to the CPU. In the present embodiment, the frame frequency of the effect display device 1600 (the number of screen updates per second) is set to approximately 30 fps as described above, so the interval at which the V blank signal is input is approximately 33 It is 3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly performed about every 33.3 ms.

[18-2. Peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing that is executed when a V blank signal is transmitted from the VDP of peripheral control IC 1510 a to indicate that it is ready to receive screen data from the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510 a. Will be explained. When the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG has a value 0, as shown in FIG. 186 (step S1045). As described above, the steady process in progress flag SP-FLG has a value 1 when the peripheral control unit steady process in steps S1008 to S1038 in the peripheral control unit power-on process of FIG. 185 is being executed. When execution of the process is completed, they are set to 0 respectively.

  In the determination of step S1045, when the steady process in progress flag SP-FLG is not 0 (is a value 1), that is, when it is determined that the peripheral control unit steady process is being executed, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a does not change End the routine On the other hand, in the determination of step S1045, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the stationary processing in progress flag SP-FLG has the value 0, that is, determines that the peripheral control unit stationary processing has been completed. -Set the value 1 to FLG (step S1050) and end this routine. As described above, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not peripheral control unit steady processing is to be performed, and the value 1 when peripheral control unit steady processing is executed, peripheral control When the partial steady process is not performed, the value is set to 0, respectively.

  In this embodiment, it is determined in step S1045 whether or not the steady process in progress flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, that is, whether or not the peripheral control unit steady process has been completed, and the peripheral control unit steady process is executed. When it is completed, the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in step S1050, but this is because the V blank signal is input when the peripheral control unit steady processing is being performed. When the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, the peripheral control unit steady process currently being executed is assumed as the peripheral control unit steady process is executed in the determination of step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on process of FIG. Since the process is forcibly canceled midway and the peripheral control unit steady process is started from the beginning, the peripheral control unit in FIG. The peripheral control unit, which is this routine, indicates that peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed by setting the value in the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG to 1 in step S1008 in the source activation process (peripheral control unit steady processing). In addition to V blank signal interrupt processing, in step S1038 in peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) in FIG. 185, peripheral control unit steady processing is performed by setting the value in the steady processing flag SP-FLG to 0. In the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing which is the present routine, the stationary processing in-progress flag SP-FLG is determined by the determination in step S1045 in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing which is the present routine. It is determined whether the value is 0, that is, whether or not the peripheral control unit steady processing has been completed. To have. In other words, the peripheral control unit steady processing can not be completed by the time the V blank signal is input and the next V blank signal is input.

  Thereby, in the peripheral control unit steady processing this time, when the processing can not be completed in about 33.3 ms and the processing is dropped, the determination in step S1006 in the processing at power on of the peripheral control unit in FIG. It stands by until the V blank signal of is input. That is, the time for executing the current peripheral control unit steady processing which has been dropped is about 66.6 ms. Normally, peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing described later, which is repeatedly executed each time 1 ms interrupt timer is generated by activation of 1 ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) of FIG. Is executed only 32 times for one peripheral control unit steady process, but if there is a current peripheral control unit steady process that has been dropped, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is 64 times It is supposed to be executed only 32 times. That is, even when the peripheral control unit steady processing is processed, the consistency between the advancing state of the effect by the peripheral control steady processing and the advancing state by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing which is timer interrupt control is It does not collapse. Therefore, even when the peripheral control unit steady processing is dropped, the progressing state of the effect can be reliably aligned.

[18-3. Peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing which is repeatedly executed each time 1 ms interrupt timer is generated by activation of 1 ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in peripheral control unit steady processing of peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 185 will be described. . When this peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510 a determines whether or not the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33, as shown in FIG. 187 (step S1100). As described above, this 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN starts the 1 ms interrupt timer in the 1 ms interrupt timer activation process of step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process of the peripheral control unit power-on process in FIG. It is a counter that counts the number of times a certain peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process has been executed. In the present embodiment, the frame frequency of the effect display device 1600 (the number of screen updates per second) is set to approximately 30 fps as described above, so the interval at which the V blank signal is input is approximately 33 It is 3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, since the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed about every 33.3 ms, after the 1 ms interrupt timer is started in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, the next peripheral control unit steady processing is performed. The peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed only 32 times before the execution of. Specifically, when the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated in step S1010 in peripheral control unit steady processing, the first 1 ms timer interrupt is generated first, the second,..., And the 32nd 1 ms timer interrupt sequentially It will occur.

  In the determination of step S1100, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started when the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not smaller than 33 times, that is, the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt occurs. If it is determined, this routine ends. If the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is the peripheral control unit V as the priority of the interrupt processing in this embodiment. Although set higher than the blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing due to the thirty-third 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. In other words, in the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal. In order to execute the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing due to the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. Then, after the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated again in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is newly started by the generation of the first 1 ms timer interrupt. ing.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1100 that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33 times, the value 1 is added to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN (increment; step S1102). By adding the value 1 to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN, the 1 ms interrupt timer is started in the 1 ms interrupt timer start process of step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process of the peripheral control unit power-on process of FIG. The number of times the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, which is this routine, is executed increases by one.

  Following step S1102, motor and solenoid driving processing is performed (step S1104). In this motor and solenoid drive processing, among the drive data of electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in time series that make up the electric drive source schedule data set in the RAM of peripheral control IC 1510a, the pointer indicates Drive an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid, update the pointer to the next drive data defined in time series, and update the pointer each time this motor and solenoid drive processing is executed Do. Thereby, an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid managed by the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a (for example, an electric drive source provided in the door frame 3 or an electric drive source provided in various effect units provided in the game board 5) ) Are driven according to electrical drive source schedule data.

  Subsequent to step S1104, the CPU of the periphery control IC 1510a performs movable body information acquisition processing (step S1106). In this movable body information acquisition process, it is determined whether or not detection signals from various sensors provided in various effect units provided on the game board 5 are input to determine history information of detection signals from various sensors (for example, the original Position history information, movable position history information, etc. are created and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a sets original positions (standby positions) of various movable bodies provided in various rendering units provided on the game board 5 based on history information of detection signals from various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a By grasping the movable position by setting or acquiring the movable position.

  Subsequent to step S1106, the CPU of the periphery control IC 1510a performs rendering operation unit information acquisition processing (step S1108). In this rendering operation unit information acquisition process, history information of detection signals from various sensors is determined by determining whether detection signals from various sensors provided in the rendering operation unit 300 are input (for example, a rotation operation unit The rotation (rotation direction) history information 302, the operation history information of the pressing operation unit 303, etc.) are created and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. The rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302 and the presence or absence of the operation of the pressing operation unit 303 can be acquired from history information of detection signals from various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a.

  Following step S1108, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs backup processing (step S1110), and ends this routine. In this backup processing, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a are copied and backed up to the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a, and the contents stored in the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 are stored. The data is copied and backed up to a backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the SDRAMs 1510 c 1 and 1510 c 2. In this embodiment, the 1 ms timer interrupt processing backup area provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510 a and the steady processing backup area provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510 a are set to different areas, and the SDRAM 1510 c 1 , And 1510 c 2 are set in different areas from the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in 1510 c 2 and the backup area for steady processing provided in the SDRAMs 15 10 c 1 and 15 10 c 2.

  As described above, in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, various processes relating to the effect of step S1104 to step S1108 are executed as progress of effect within a period of 1 ms. On the other hand, in the peripheral control unit steady processing in the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 185, various processing relating to the effects of step S1014 to step S1032 is executed as progress of the effect within a period of about 33.3 ms. There is. In peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, when 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN is not smaller than value 33 in step S1100, that is, the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt occurs and peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started Since this routine is ended as it is, even if the occurrence of the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal, the peripheral control unit by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt The start of the 1 ms timer interrupt processing is forcibly canceled, and after the 1 ms interrupt timer is started again in step S1010 in peripheral control unit steady processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, peripheral control by the generation of the first 1 ms timer interrupt Division 1 ms timer It is adapted to start the actual processing. That is, the consistency between the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit steady process and the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process which is timer interrupt control does not break. Therefore, the progressing state of the effect can be reliably aligned.

  Further, as described above, the interval at which the V blank signal is output changes somewhat depending on the liquid crystal size of the effect display device 1600, and the V blank signal is also produced in the manufacturing lot of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the peripheral control IC 1510a is mounted. The output interval may change slightly. In the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, if the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal, the peripheral control is performed. In order to execute the section V blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control section 1 ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. That is, in the present embodiment, even if the interval at which the V blank signal is output changes a little, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. It is possible to absorb a time lag due to a slight change in the interval at which the V blank signal is output.

[18-4. Peripheral control command reception interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310X will be described. The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a starts transmission of various commands from the main control board 1310X as serial data, and as a trigger, the main peripheral serial data is 1 byte (8 bits) at the serial I / O port of the peripheral control IC 1510a The information in (1) is taken into the receiving buffer, and when the taking-in is completed, an interrupt is generated triggered by this and the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is performed. In the main cycle serial data, one packet is composed of 3 bytes, the status is assigned as the first byte, the mode is assigned as the second byte, and the status and mode are regarded as numerical values as the third byte and the total The calculated sum value is assigned.

  When the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether the 1 byte reception period timer has timed out, as shown in FIG. 188 (step S1200). The one-byte reception period timer is used to set a period in which one byte (eight bits) of information can be received among the main cycle serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310X.

  When it is determined in step S1200 that the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out, that is, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a has 1 byte (8 bits) of information on the main cycle serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310X. When it is determined that it is within the time that can be received, 1 byte of information received from the reception buffer of the serial I / O port of peripheral control IC 1510a is fetched (step S1202), and the value 1 is added to the reception counter SRXC (incremented) Step S1204). The reception counter SRXC is a counter that indicates the number of times of extraction from the reception buffer, and has a value of 1 when the status of the first byte of the main cycle serial data is extracted from the reception buffer, and a mode of the second byte of the main cycle serial data. When the data is taken out from the reception buffer, the value 2 is obtained, and when the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data is taken out from the reception buffer, the value becomes 3. The reception counter SRXC is set to an initial value 0 at power on or the like.

  Following step S1204, it is determined whether the reception counter SRXC has a value of 3, that is, whether the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data has been extracted from the reception buffer (step S1206). In this determination, following the status, which is the first byte of the main cycle serial data, the mode, which is the second byte of the main cycle serial data, and the sum value, which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data, from the reception buffer It is determined whether or not it has been taken out.

  In the determination of step S1206, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the reception counter SRXC does not have the value 3, that is, the mode which is still the second byte of main cycle serial data following the status which is the first byte of main cycle serial data. If it is determined that the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data is not taken out from the reception buffer in order, the 1 byte reception period timer is set (step S1208), and this routine is ended. By setting the 1-byte reception period timer in step S1208, a period in which the mode which is the second byte of the main cycle serial data or the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data can be received is set.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S1206, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a sets the reception counter SRXC to the value 3, that is, the second byte of the main cycle serial data following the status of the first byte of the main cycle serial data. If it is determined that a sum value, which is a third mode of the main cycle serial data, is taken out from the reception buffer in a certain mode and the main cycle serial data, the initial value 0 is set to the reception counter SRXC (step S1210), and the sum value is calculated (step S1212). In this calculation, the status which is the first byte of the main cycle serial data and the mode which is the second byte of the main cycle serial data, which have already been extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202, are regarded as numerical values and their sum (sum value Calculate).

  Following step S1212, it is determined whether the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202 matches the sum value calculated in step S1212 (step S1214). The sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data already taken out from the reception buffer in step S1202 is the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main cycle serial data of the main cycle serial data from the main control board 1310X. Therefore, it should match the sum value calculated in step S1212. However, the pachinko machine 1 is supplied with gaming balls from the island facility of the game hall, and when the gaming balls rub against each other and are charged, they are electrostatically discharged and generate noise, so the pachinko machine 1 is affected by noise It is under the environment of accepting files.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, on the peripheral control board 1510 side, the status allocated as the first byte of the received main cycle serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main cycle serial data are regarded as numerical values. Whether the calculated sum value matches the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main cycle serial data in the main cycle serial data from the main control board 1310 X? It is judged whether or not. As a result, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510 a determines whether the main peripheral serial data has been changed to main peripheral serial data different from normal due to the influence of noise between the main control substrate 1310 X and peripheral control substrate 1510. It can be determined.

  In the determination of step S1214, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a matches the sum value, which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202, with the sum value calculated in step S1212. If it is determined, the received status allocated as the first byte of the main cycle serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main cycle serial data are stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a (step S1216). ), End this routine.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1200 that the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a does not time out the 1 byte reception period timer, that is, 1 byte (8 bits) of the main cycle serial data transmitted from main control board 1310X. When it is determined that the period for which information can be received is exceeded, or in the determination of step S1214, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a determines the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202. If it is determined that the sum value calculated in step S1212 and the sum value calculated in step S1212 do not match, this routine ends.

[18-5. Peripheral control unit blackout notice signal interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit power failure notification signal interrupt processing which is executed when the power failure notification signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310 e of the main control substrate 1310 X is input from the main control substrate 1310 X will be described. When this peripheral control unit blackout notification signal interrupt process is started, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a first starts a 2 microsecond timer as shown in FIG. 189 (step S1300), and a blackout notification signal is input or not. It is determined (step S1302). If it is determined in step S1302 that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the power failure notification signal is not input, the routine ends as it is.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1302 that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a has input a power failure advance signal, it determines whether 2 microseconds have elapsed (step S1304). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the timer activated in step S1300 has passed 2 microseconds. If it is determined in step S1304 that the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a does not pass 2 macro seconds, the process returns to step S1302 to determine whether or not a power failure notification signal is input, and the power failure notification signal is not input When it is determined, while this routine is ended as it is, when it is determined that a power failure advance signal is input, it is determined again in step S1304 whether or not 2 microseconds have elapsed. That is, in the determination of step S1304, it is determined whether or not the power failure notification signal continues to be input for 2 microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure notification signal interrupt processing which is the present routine is started.

  If it is determined in step S1304 that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a continues to input the power failure notification signal for 2 microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure notification signal interrupt processing which is this routine is started, the power saving processing is performed. The operation is performed (step S1306). In this power saving process, the power consumption of the entire system of the pachinko machine 1 is achieved by sequentially executing the turning off of the backlight of the effect display device 1600, the turning off of the motors and solenoids provided on the game board 5, the turning off of various LEDs, etc. By restraining, even if the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, the stable operation is ensured only for a period of 20 milliseconds which is a time during which the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a can operate.

  Following step S1306, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs command reception standby processing (step S1308). In this command reception standby process, assuming that there are various commands being transmitted by the main control board 1310X, the peripheral control IC 1510a can receive the command being transmitted at least for a period of at least 17 milliseconds. It is supposed to wait. When the command is received, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing described above is started, and the received command is stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a.

  Following step S1308, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs command backup processing (step S1310). In the backup processing of this command, the command stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a is copied and backed up to a steady processing backup area provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a.

  Following step S1310, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not a power failure advance signal is input (step S1312). If it is determined in step S1312 that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a has received a power failure advance signal, the CPU performs WDT clear processing (step S1314). In this WDT clear processing, a clear signal is output to the external WDT to prevent the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510 a from being reset.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1312 that the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the power failure notification signal is not input, or following step S1314, the process returns to step S1312 again, and whether or not the power failure notification signal is input. Determine if That is, it will be judged infinitely whether the power failure notice signal is input. By continuing determination in this manner, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a can not output a clear signal to the external WDT when it is determined in step S1312 that the power failure notification signal is not input. When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is reset, while the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the power failure notice signal is input in the determination of step S1312, the WDT clear processing is performed in step S1314 to select the peripheral control IC 1510a. The CPU does not reset. When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510 a is reset, the power-on processing of the peripheral control unit shown in FIG. 185 is started again.

  As described above, when the power failure notification signal continues to be input in the infinite loop in the determination in step S1312, the CPU of peripheral control IC 1510a is reset immediately before the power failure state occurs by executing the WDT clear process in step S1314. It is supposed not to catch it. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1312 that the input of the power failure notice signal is not continued and released in the infinite loop, the WDT clear process is not executed, and the output of the clear signal to the external WDT is interrupted. It has become. As a result, the peripheral control unit blackout notification signal interrupt processing, which is the main routine, is erroneously started due to noise and the noise is generated beyond the period of 2 microseconds and the determination in step S1302 is passed even if the step is passed. If it is determined in S1312 that the input of the power failure notice signal is not continued and canceled in the infinite loop, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is reset because the WDT clear processing in step S1314 is not executed. It is possible to cope with such noise by automatically resetting and returning.

[19. Technical means, effects, etc.]
In addition, as described below, the background art which makes Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2012-29741 a prior patent document, and many technical means with respect to a solution subject are included in the said form.

[Background technology]
A game machine such as a pachinko machine has a game board having a game area in which a game is played, and a door frame having a door window closing the front side of the game board and making the game area visible from the front. The game player can enjoy the game by playing in the game area viewed through the door window.

  As a game machine of this type, a bulging portion provided with a storage tray for storing game media for playing a game and bulging forward from below the door window in the front of the door frame; And a decorative body attached to the upper surface is proposed (for example, prior patent documents). According to the technique of this prior patent document, the appearance of the upper surface of the bulging portion can be improved by the decorative body.

  However, in the technique of the prior patent document, since the decorative body is provided on the upper surface of the bulging portion, the decorative body is hard to see when looking at the gaming machine from the front or side, so the decoration in the entire gaming machine The decorative effect by the body was weak and the appeal to the player was insufficient. In addition, when the player places his hand on the upper surface of the bulging portion or places his hand on the storage plate, a part of the decoration is hidden by the player's hand, for example, causing the decoration to emit light. At the same time, the player hardly notices the light emission decoration, and some players may feel lost because they did not notice the light emission decoration and may decrease the interest in the game.

[Solution issue]
In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a gaming machine having high appeal to a player and capable of suppressing a decrease in interest for the player's game by light emission decoration.

[Technical means to solve the problem]
Means 1: In the gaming machine,
"A game board having a game area where a game is played,
A main unit frame which detachably holds the game board from the front,
A door frame base having a door window that closes the front side of the main body frame so as to be able to be opened and closed and allows the game area to be viewed from the front;
A bulging portion provided with a storage tray that bulges forward from a portion below the door window on the front surface of the door frame base, and can store game media for playing a game in the game area ,
The bulging portion is attached, and the front end is forward of the front end of the storage plate, from the front of the door frame base to the front to a distance of 1/3 to 2/3 with respect to the full width of the door frame base. With a protruding decoration,
And a decorative body light emitting means for emitting and decorating the decorative body in accordance with a game state which is changed by playing a game in the game area.

  Here, as the "game", "gaming media is targeted for a specific receiving slot where a special lottery for generating an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous is performed, and game media to a specific receiving port are When a special lottery result in which an advantageous gaming state occurs due to acceptance is drawn, a specific receiving slot for paying out a predetermined number of gaming media is opened by receiving the gaming media, so that the game media is targeted for a specific receiving slot. "A game to be thrown in", "a game in which a game medium is hit by aiming at a receptacle to which a benefit including a payout of game medium is given", "a plurality of symbols each provided with a plurality of patterns after the game medium is inserted. After rotating the torso, there is a game in which the rotation of each torso is stopped so as to be a combination of symbols to which a benefit including a payout of game media is given. Examples of the above-mentioned "game media" include "ball-shaped ones (game balls)", "disk-like ones (medals)" and the like.

  In addition, as the “playing area” in which a game is played, “a game medium is inserted by the operation of the player, and there are a plurality of receptacles to which a benefit including a payout of the game medium is given according to the reception of the game medium. Each of a plurality of symbols is provided, and each of them is rotated by the player's start operation triggered by the insertion of the game medium, and the combination of the symbols stopped by the player's stop operation is provided. In accordance with this, there may be mentioned an area where a plurality of turning bodies are provided to which a privilege including payout of game media is provided.

  In addition, as the "main frame", "one that can be opened and closed (hinge-rotatable) attached to the frame-like outer frame attached to the island facility of the game hall where the game machine is installed", "the game machine is Those directly attached to the island facilities of the game hall to be installed, "those provided with a payout device for playing game media for playing a game", and the like can be mentioned.

  Furthermore, as the "bulging portion", in addition to the storage tray, "one having an operation unit operated by a player to play a game", and "a storage tray storing a game medium for playing a game" Those equipped with "," those equipped with an effect operation unit that allows the player's operation to be accepted when the player participation type effect is executed "," Lotus operation unit that lends a game medium for playing a game And the like.

  In addition, examples of the "storage tray" include "a plurality of which are vertically spaced apart and provided", "a which is provided only one", and the like.

  Further, as the "decorative body", "a thing imitating a predetermined item along the concept of a gaming machine", "a thing imitating a predetermined character along the concept of a gaming machine", "a thing along a concept of a gaming machine Imitating a predetermined scene, and the like. The reason why the distance from the front of the door frame base to the front end of the decoration is within 1/3 to 2/3 of the full width of the door frame base is that the distance is shorter than 1/3 of the full width. The amount of forward protrusion is the same as that of a conventional gaming machine, and the appeal to the player can not be sufficiently enhanced. If the distance is longer than 2/3 of the full width, the decorative body protrudes too much forward. Therefore, there is a possibility that it becomes a hindrance to the player and it becomes difficult to be selected as a gaming machine to play a game.

  In addition, as "according to the game state", "game to the entrance (for example, general winning opening, starting opening, big winning opening, prize winning opening, V winning opening, etc.) arranged in the game area" "In response to the reception of the medium", "in response to the game medium circulating in the game area having passed a specific area (eg, gate, warp passage, stage shelf, etc.)", "arranged in the game area According to the special lottery result drawn by the reception of gaming media to the reception opening (for example, starting opening), the drawing by the reception of gaming media to the reception opening (for example, starting opening) disposed in the gaming area Depending on the type of effect (for example, reach effect, big hit effect, lost effect, etc.) for suggesting a special lottery result that has been made, "a plurality of symbols each provided with a plurality of symbols triggered by the insertion of gaming media According to the rotation of the torso of the "game media" In response to the insertion of a plurality of rotating bodies each provided with a plurality of symbols, and then sequentially stopped, depending on the combination of the symbols of the stopped rotating body "," game media to be driven into the game area "In accordance with the amount of impact of", "in accordance with the length of the impact media blank inserted into the game area", and the like.

  In addition, as “decorative body light emitting means”, “full color LED”, “single color LED”, “high brightness LED”, “organic EL”, “incandescent bulb”, “neon bulb”, “cold cathode tube”, etc. It can be mentioned.

  According to the configuration of the means 1, it is possible to open and close the front side of the main frame, the main frame which holds the gaming board having the gaming area where the game is played, the gaming board detachably from the front, and the gaming machine. The door frame base has a door window that allows the player to see the game area from the front, and the front side of the door frame base bulges forward from a portion below the door window, A bulging portion provided with a storage tray capable of storing game media for playing a game in the area, and a bulging portion are attached, and are further forward than the front end of the storage tray and from the front of the door frame base A decorative body whose front end protrudes to a distance of 1/3 to 2/3 with respect to the full width of the door frame base, and a light emitting decoration according to a gaming state which is changed by playing the decorative body in the game area And a decorative body light emitting means.

  As a result, a bulging portion provided with a storage tray capable of storing game media bulges forward at a portion below the door window on the front surface of the door frame base that closes the main body frame so as to open and close. The bulging portion is provided with a decoration whose length is 1/3 to 2/3 of the entire width of the door frame base and whose front end protrudes forward from the front surface of the door frame base. Thereby, when the game machine is attached to the island facility of the game hall, the decoration body protrudes forward to a large extent below the door window where the inside of the game area can be viewed, making the decoration body more visible than other game machines. While being able to strongly attract the interest of the player, it is possible to enhance the appeal to the player and to make it easy to select this gaming machine as the gaming machine to be played. In addition, since the front end of the decorative body is projected forward largely below the door frame, the decorative body can be moved forward from the front end of the storage plate, and the length in the left-right direction of the decorative body is greater than that in the prior art. It can be long. Therefore, even if the player places his hand on the upper surface of the bulging portion or puts his hand on the storage tray, the portion concealed by the player's hand can be reduced with respect to the entire decoration. When the light emitting decoration is performed by the decorative body light emitting means, the player can be made to notice the light emitting decoration of the decorative body easily, and the player is prevented from feeling lost and the decrease in interest for the game is suppressed. It can be done.

  In addition, since the decorative body is greatly projected forward below the door window, the front end of the decorative body approaches the player as closely as possible when the player is seated in front of the gaming machine. Therefore, when the decorative body is made to emit light and decorated by the decorative body light emitting means according to the game state, the light illuminates the player from below, and the light emission decoration of the decorative body directs the player's gaze toward the decorative body By making the line of sight of the player point toward the lower decorative body, it is possible to keep the inside of the game area provided ahead from the field of view of the player and make it difficult to view the inside of the game area. . Therefore, in the game area, for example, when the scene of the effect image changes, when the movable body moves, when the variable winning opening (second starting opening, big winning opening, prize winning opening, etc.) opens and closes. At the time of, etc., by making the decorative body emit light by the decorative body light emitting means, the player is made to pay attention to the decorative body located below the game area, and then, when the player returns the gaze to the game area By changing the effect image and the movable body, it is possible to surprise the player and give a strong impact, and it is possible to entertain the player and at the same time something good for the player may be made. It is possible to make the user think that there is no such thing, and it is possible to make the expectation for the game higher and suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, as described above, it is possible to cause the player to be surprised by changing the effects in the game area by making the light emission decoration of the decoration body be noticed according to the game state, so that the decoration body The light emission decoration can indicate to the player the arrival of a chance (for example, the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state ("big hit game") in which the player is advantageous). As a result, it is possible to give a premium feeling to the light emission decoration of the decorative body, so it is possible to make the player excited and thrilled depending on whether or not the decorative body emits light and decorates, making the player enjoyable and entertaining The decrease can be suppressed.

  Further, since the decorative body is greatly projected forward, when the player tries to look at the entire decorative body, the player looks away from the gaming machine, so that the entire gaming machine including the game area can be easily viewed. As a result, it is possible to make the player feel as if it were put on one tempo, and it is possible to relax the player and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  The decorative body may be smoothly curved and projected forward. As a result, since the decorative body projecting largely to the front is curved smoothly, there is no risk of damaging the player even if it comes in contact with the player. Therefore, since the player can recognize that the decoration is not dangerous which may cause injury just by looking at the decoration, it is possible to select this gaming machine safely as a gaming machine to play a game. It is possible to enjoy the game in this gaming machine and to suppress the decline in interest.

  Moreover, it is desirable to attach a decoration to the left-right direction center of a bulging part. This makes it possible to highlight the presence of the decorative body and strongly attract the interest of the player, and to make it easy to select this gaming machine as a gaming machine that raises the appeal to the player and plays. In addition, when the decorative body projecting forward is attached to the center in the left-right direction, it is easy for the player's hands to extend forward, so that the operation unit (handle) for driving the game medium into the game area It is possible to facilitate the operation, the handling of gaming media stored in the storage tray, and the like, and it is possible to make it difficult for the player to be stressed and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, the decorative body may be provided with a first decorative portion extending in a semicircular ring shape so as to bulge outward in a semicircular arc cross-sectional shape. As a result, since the first decorative portion of the decorative body has a form in which half of the cylindrical tube-shaped donut protrudes forward, it is possible to give the player a smooth and soft impression, and thus the game The player can be made to play the game in a calm mood, and the player can be devoted to the game to suppress the decrease in interest, and it is difficult for the player to get hurt even if the player makes contact at first glance It can be made to recognize that it is safe, and by lowering the player's reassurance, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest for the game. In addition, when the decorative body is provided with the first semi-doughlet-shaped decorative portion, if the whole of the first decorative portion is light-emitting and decorated by the decorative body light-emitting means according to the game state, like an annular fluorescent lamp Light emission decoration can be shown to the player, and the interest of the player can be attracted strongly, and when making the light emission decoration, for example, when making the light emission decoration so that the light flows from one side, Since the player can show the light-emitting effect that the light is moving and rotating, it can surprise the player and make him think that something good may be done, thereby increasing the expectation for the game. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

  Furthermore, when the decorative body is provided with the first doughnut-shaped first decoration, it is disposed below the first decoration so that the front end is positioned behind the first decoration, and a cross section of a semicircular arc shape A second decorative portion extending in a semicircular shape so as to bulge outward in shape may be further provided. This makes it possible for the player to show the player a decoration in which half donuts are vertically arranged in the first decorative portion and the second decorative portion, and the appearance of the bulging portion provided with the storage plate is improved. Because the tip of the second decorative portion is located behind the tip of the first decorative portion, the second decorative portion can emphasize the sense of perspective and make the decorative body appear larger, so that the player can It can be a highly appealing gaming machine that is strongly attracted to Further, in this case, since the semi-doughnut-shaped first decorative portion and the second decorative portion are disposed at the upper and lower sides, light emission is performed such that the light is rotated by appropriately emitting and decorating each by the decorative body light emitting means It is possible to show the player an effect such as an effect or a light effect such that the light moves up and down, and to entertain the player, and also to show the player various light effects such as bored player It can be made difficult to suppress the decline in interest.

  Further, a rendering operation unit may be provided behind the front end of the upper surface of the decorative body, in which the player's operation can be received according to the game state. Thereby, when the operation of the effect operation unit becomes acceptable according to the gaming state (when the player participation type effect is executed), the player operates the effect operation unit, thereby the player participation type The presentation can be enjoyed, and a decrease in interest for the player's game can be suppressed. At this time, by making the decorative body emit light and decorate by the decorative body light emitting means, it is possible to attract the player's interest to the decorative body on which the rendering operation portion is attached. When the participatory effect is executed, the decoration of the decorative body can be made to emit light and the player's interest can be directed to the decorative body (rendering operation unit) to urge the operation of the effect operation unit, and the player can perform the decorative operation By operating the unit, the player participation type effect can be enjoyed and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  Further, when the effect operation unit is attached behind the front end of the upper surface of the decoration, the decoration can prevent the player's body part, clothes, etc. from contacting the effect operation unit. Therefore, the erroneous operation of the effect operation unit can be reduced, and the player participation type effect for operating the effect operation unit can be surely enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, when the effect operation unit is attached to the upper surface of the decorative body projecting largely to the front, the effect operation unit looks large and can give a strong impact to the player, and the main game as a gaming machine to play a game Game can be made easy to select, and the expectation for the player participation type effect operating the effect operation unit can be enhanced, and the player participation type effect is executed at an early stage (for example, game media It is possible to urge the hitting operation of (the game ball), the rotation start of the rotating body by the insertion of the game medium (medal), and the like, and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  In addition, when the effect operation unit is provided behind the front end of the upper surface of the decorative body, the effect operation unit includes an annular rotation operation unit capable of rotating operation by the player, and the inside of the ring of the rotation operation unit In the above, it is desirable that the player has a pressing operation unit that can be pressed and operated. As a result, since the rotation operation unit capable of rotational operation as the effect operation unit and the pressing operation unit capable of pressing operation are provided, in the player participation type effect in which the operation of the effect operation unit can be received, It is possible to make the player operate the game by appropriately combining the key and the pressing operation, and it is possible to respond to effects requiring more complicated input (operation of the player), so a more diverse player participation type effect is played The player can be presented to the player, the player can be entertained, the player can be made less likely to get bored, and the decrease in interest for the game can be suppressed. Further, in this case, since the decorative body having the rotation operation unit and the pressing operation unit mounted on the upper surface can be lighted and decorated by the decorative body light emitting means, when the player participation type effect is performed, the decorative body is displayed. By making the light emission decoration, the player's interest can be directed to the decorative body (the effect operation unit such as the rotation operation unit or the pressing operation unit) to urge the operation of the effect operation unit, and the player operates the effect operation unit By doing this, it is possible to enjoy the player participation type effect and to suppress the decrease in interest. At this time, it is possible to prompt the player to rotate the rotary operation unit or to press the pressing operation unit according to the light emission mode of the decorative body. The operation unit can be operated accurately, and player-participation type presentation can be enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, as described above, when the annular rotary operation unit and the pressing operation unit disposed in the ring of the rotary operation unit are provided as the rendering operation unit on the upper surface of the decorative body, the pressing operation is performed. Even if it is possible to move the unit between the retracted position which protrudes slightly above the upper surface of the rotary operation unit and the projected position which protrudes above the retracted position depending on the game state. good. As a result, when the pressing operation unit is moved to the projecting position according to the gaming state, the pressing operation unit is in a state of projecting upward than the rotation operation unit, so that the upper surface of the decorative body is large along with the rotation operation unit. Because it looks like it bulges upward, it can make the surroundings of the decoration look large and give a strong impact to the player, making the decoration stand out and raising the appeal of the player over other gaming machines While the pressing operation unit protrudes upward largely, the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the pressing operation unit, and the expectation for the operation of the pressing operation unit is enhanced to suppress the decrease in interest It can be done.

  In addition, when the pressing operation unit in the ring of the rotation operation unit attached to the upper surface of the decoration is movable between the retracted position and the projecting position, the player operates the pressing operation unit at the projecting position. A cylindrical center which is disposed in the cylinder of the cylindrical outer periphery pressing operation portion and the outer periphery pressing operation portion capable of pressing operation, and the player can perform pressing operation even at any position of the retracted position and the projecting position. You may make it comprise with a press operation part. Thus, on the upper surface of the decorative body projecting largely to the front, the outer peripheral pressing operation portion and the rotational operating portion are concentrically arranged centering on the central pressing operation portion, so that the visual impact can be enhanced. While making it possible to attract the player's interest strongly, it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation for the player participation type effect to operate each operation unit, and to suppress the decline of the player's interest Can. Also, in this case, by making the decorative body emit light and decoration, the player's interest is strongly attracted to the decorative body, that is, the rotation operation portion, the outer peripheral pressure operation portion, and the central pressure operation portion to promote their operation. The player participation type effect can be enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, when the effect operation unit is provided on the upper surface of the decorative body, it is desirable to include operation unit light emitting means for emitting and decorating the effect operation unit according to the game state. Accordingly, since the effect operation unit can be lighted and decorated by the operation unit light emitting means according to the gaming state, by simultaneously executing the light emission decoration of the effect operation unit and the light emission decoration of the decoration by the decoration light emitting means The light emitting decoration of the whole of the bulging part which is bulging forward under the door window can be made to emit light, and the bulging part can be made to stand out to attract the player's interest strongly, and the whole is a light emitting decoration. By doing this, it is possible to make the player think that there is something good, to increase the sense of expectation for the game and to suppress the decrease in interest. Also, in this case, by making the effect operation unit emit light and decorate by the operation unit light emitting means, the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the effect operation unit, so the player participation type effect which operates the effect operation unit is When executed, it is possible to direct the player's interest to the effect operation unit and prompt operation by causing the effect operation unit to emit light and decorate, and by causing the player to operate the effect operation unit, the player participation type effect Can be used to curb the decline in

  Further, the front surface of the door frame base may be further provided with a peripheral decoration continuous with the decorative body attached to the bulging portion and extending so as to surround the outer periphery of the door frame. Thus, the entire outer periphery of the game area can be decorated, and the appearance of the gaming machine can be improved to increase the appeal of the player. Further, in this case, it is desirable to provide a peripheral decoration light emitting means for making the peripheral decoration light-emitting and decoration, and making the decorative body of the bulging portion and the peripheral decoration emit light and decorate the outer periphery of the game area. Therefore, the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the game area, and the player can enjoy the game in the game area to suppress the decrease in interest.

Thereby, when the pachinko machine 1 is attached to the island facility of the game hall, the effect operation unit cover unit 310 to which the effect operation unit 301 is attached on the upper surface below the door window 101a where the inside of the game area 5a can be viewed visually Since the plate unit 200 (rendering operation unit cover unit 310) can be made more conspicuous than the other pachinko machines 1 because it projects largely forward, it can attract the player's interest strongly and appeal to the player The power can be enhanced, and the pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as a pachinko machine to be played. In addition, since the front end of the effect operation unit cover unit 310 (the unit front cover 312) is largely protruded to the front below the door frame 3, the effect operation unit cover unit 310 should be moved forward from the front end of the upper tray 201. The length of the effect operation unit cover unit 310 in the left-right direction can be made longer than in the prior art. Therefore, even if the player places his hand on the upper surface of the plate unit 200 or puts his hand on the upper plate 201, the portion covered by the player's hand is reduced with respect to the entire effect operation unit cover unit 310. Therefore, when the presentation operation unit cover unit 310 (unit front cover 312) is illuminated and decorated by the dish center upper decoration substrate 314 and the dish center lower decoration substrate 316, the light emission decoration of the unit front cover 312 for the player It is possible to make it easy for the player to notice that the player feels lost, and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  In addition, since the effect operation unit cover unit 310 is largely protruded to the front below the door window 101a, when the player is seated in front of the pachinko machine 1, the unit front cover 312 in the effect operation unit cover unit 310. Since the front end of the unit is as close as possible to the player, the unit front cover 312 can be lighted and decorated by the upper center dish decoration substrate 314 and lower dish center lower decoration substrate 316 according to the game state. When the decoration operation unit 301 is lighted and decorated by the ring decoration substrate 352, the center button decoration substrate 376, and the outer circumference button decoration substrate 377, the light illuminates the player from the lower side, and the unit front cover 312 and the effect operation unit 301. Of the player's eyes toward the unit front cover 312 and the effect operation unit 301 below It is possible to, by directing the line of sight of the player downwards, can be difficult away within the game area 5a provided in the front from the player's field of vision, it is visible within the game area 5a. Therefore, in the game area 5a, for example, when the scene of the effect image by the effect display device 1600 changes, when the movable body moves, when the second start opening 2004 or the big winning opening 2005 opens and closes, etc. By making the unit front cover 312 and the effect operation unit 301 emit light and decoration, the player is directed to the lower side of the game area 5a, and then when the player returns the line of sight to the inside of the game area 5a By changing the body etc., it is possible to surprise the player and give a strong impact, and it is possible to entertain the player and to make the player think that something good may be done It is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the game and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, as described above, it is possible to cause the player to be surprised by changing the effects in the game area 5a by making the unit front cover 312 pay attention by emitting light depending on the game state. The light emission decoration of the unit front cover 312 can indicate to the player the arrival of a chance (for example, the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state ("big hit game") in which the player is advantageous). As a result, since a premium feeling can be given to the light emission decoration of the unit front cover 312, the player can be excited and excited depending on whether or not the unit front cover 312 is light emission decoration, and the player is enjoyed It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

  In addition, since the unit front cover 312 is greatly projected forward, when the player tries to look at the entire unit front cover 312, he / she looks away from the pachinko machine 1, and thus the entire gaming machine including the game area Becomes easy to see. As a result, it is possible to make the player feel as if it were put on one tempo, and it is possible to relax the player and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the effect operation unit cover unit 310 projecting largely forward is attached to the center of the plate unit 200 in the left-right direction, the presence of the effect operation unit cover unit 310 is highlighted to attract the player's interest strongly. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 can be made easy to select as a pachinko machine to increase the appeal of the player and play a game. Further, since the effect operation unit cover unit 310 projecting forward is attached to the center in the left-right direction, the player's hands can be easily extended forward, so the game ball B is thrown into the game area 5a. It is possible to facilitate the operation of the handle 182 and the handling of the game balls B stored in the upper plate 201, and it is possible to make it difficult for the player to give stress and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, the upper center dish decoration 312a and lower dish center lower decoration body 312b arranged above and below the unit front cover 312 of the effect operation unit cover unit 310 have a semicircular arc-shaped cross section that bulges outward. Since it is configured to extend in a semi-circular shape, it is possible to give a player a smooth and soft impression because a half of a cylindrical tube-shaped donut protrudes forward. The player can be made to play the game in a calm mood, and the player can be devoted to the game to suppress the decrease in interest, and it is difficult for the player to get hurt even if the player makes contact at first glance It can be made to recognize that it is safe, and by lowering the player's reassurance, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  Further, by simultaneously emitting and decorating the effect operation unit cover unit 310 and the effect operation unit 301 projecting from the upper surface of the effect operation unit cover unit 310, the plate unit 200 bulged forward to the lower side of the door window 101a. The light emitting decoration of the whole can be made to make the dish unit 200 stand out to attract the player's interest strongly, and the whole light emitting decoration may not be good for the player While being able to make it seem like, it is possible to direct the player's interest to the rendering operation unit 301 and to urge the operation, and by letting the player operate the rendering operation unit 301, the player participation type effect is enjoyed to entertain Can be suppressed.

  Further, as described above, since the dish center upper decoration body 312a and the dish center lower decoration body 312b have a semi-doughlet shape, the dish center upper decoration board 314 and the dish center lower decoration board 316 make the dish center upper according to the gaming state. Luminescent decoration of the whole of the decoration body 312a and the lower center dish decoration 312b makes it possible to show the player a light emitting decoration such as a circular fluorescent light, which can strongly attract the player's interest. When the light emission decoration is performed, for example, when the light emission decoration is performed so that the light flows from one side, the light emission effect can be shown to the player as the light moves and rotates inside the donut, so the player can The rotary operation unit 302 attached to the upper surface of the presentation operation unit cover unit 310 can be surprised to be thought to be something good, and the dish center upper decoration body 312a and the dish center lower decoration body The player can be urged to rotate the light 312 b in the same direction as the light rotates. Alternatively, it is possible to show the player such a light emission effect that the light moves up and down by alternately emitting and decorating the dish center upper decoration 312a and the dish center lower decoration 312b arranged at the top and bottom. At the same time, the light moving up and down can urge the player to press the outer periphery pressing unit 303b or the center pressing unit 303a. Accordingly, the player is urged to rotate the rotary operation unit 302 or urged to press the pressing operation unit 303 by appropriately emitting light and decorating the dish upper center decoration 312a and the dish lower center decoration 312b. As a result, the player can be made to operate the rotation operation unit 302 or the pressing operation unit 303 exactly, and the player participation type effect can be enjoyed and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed on the island facility of the game hall, it extends forward from the side (outside the right side) of the door window 101a of the door frame base 101 of the door frame 3. Side window in which three side window interior decoration portions 410b cylindrically extending in the front-rear direction of the side window interior decoration member 412 are spaced apart in the vertical direction on the flat door frame right side unit 410. Since the LEDs of the in-window decoration portion decoration substrate 413 for emitting and decorating the plurality of in-window decoration portions 410b are turned off in the normal state, the three side windows in the side window 410a are formed. It is possible to visually recognize the inside of the game area 5a from the side of the present pachinko machine 1 (end of the island facility) through the decorative portion 410b. Therefore, even if the player who is searching for the pachinko machine 1 (the game board 5) as a pachinko machine to play a game does not move to the front of the pachinko machine 1 along the island facilities, the pachinko machine 1 is simplified. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present invention, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation for the game in the pachinko machine 1 and to suppress the decrease in interest. Thereafter, when the player is seated in front of the pachinko machine 1, the player can view the inside of the game area 5a of the game board 5 and the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600 well through the door window 101a of the door frame 3. The player can play the game in the game area 5a, can enjoy the game for the player, and can know the current game state by the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600.

  At this time, in the door frame 3 to which the side on the left side of the main body frame 4 is attached so as to be hinge rotatable by the door frame upper hinge pin 122 and the door frame lower hinge pin 126, Since the door frame right side unit 410 extends forward from the right outside far from the axis of the hinge, even if the side window 410a passes through the door frame right side unit 410, the other including the side window interior decoration 410b The part of the game can block the line of sight of the players located in the vicinity, so that the entire game area 5a can be seen and seen from other players, as viewed from other players. By making it hard to receive the feeling, it is possible to make the other player play the game without hesitation. Then, when the game progresses in the gaming area 5a and the gaming state is changed to a predetermined gaming state, the three side window interior decoration portions 410b are caused to emit light by the LEDs of the side window interior decoration portion decoration substrate 413, and the light is made to the side windows. The dazzling inside of 410 a changes the visibility through the side window 410 a. At this time, since the three side window inner decoration portions 410b are cylindrical, light can be emitted in a band shape and radially, making the side window inner decoration portion 410b dazzling so that it is difficult to visually recognize the opposite side from the interval The light emission of the side window inner decoration 410b allows the player's line of sight to be directed to the side window inner decoration 410b, and the interest in the opposite side through the side window 410a is diminished and the side window It is possible to reduce the visibility through the 410a, and to make it difficult for the other player such as the next player to look in the game area 5a or the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600.

  More specifically, as the gaming state, for example, at the time of the gaming state (scene) which suggests the arrival of a chance for the player to take advantage, the three side window interior decoration 410b is made to emit light, and the side by the glare Reduce the visibility through the window 410a. This makes it difficult for another player such as the next player to recognize that a chance has arrived in the pachinko machine 1 through the side window 410a, so the other player pays attention to the pachinko machine 1 If you pay attention, you may feel uncomfortable because other players are concerned about it and you can not concentrate on the game, or you may feel lost because of the induction of mistakes. Can be prevented, and it is possible to make the game enjoyable and suppress the decline in interest. Therefore, since it is possible to prevent the other player from looking into the game area 5a through the side window 410a at the game state such as the arrival of a chance, the player can concentrate on the game, and the game can be played. It is possible to make it more entertaining and suppress the decline in interest.

  Further, since the three in-window decorative portions 410b extending in the front-rear direction are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction in the side window 410a, the angle at which the side window 410a is viewed from the side changes. Also, since the three side window inner decoration 410b does not appear to overlap, when the side window inner decoration 410b is not emitting light, the opposite side passes through between the three side window inner decoration 410b in the side window 410a. A player looking for this pachinko machine 1 (this game board 5) as a pachinko machine that can visually recognize (within the game area 5a) and moves to the front of the pachinko machine 1 along the island facilities This pachinko machine 1 can be easily found without having to.

  In addition, since the three side window inner decoration portions 410b are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, when the side window inner decoration portion 410b emits light, a portion at the same height in the game area 5a Can be made less visible to other players through the side window 410a, so that depending on the game state, the specific side window inner decoration portion 410b of the three side window inner decoration portions 410b emits light, It is possible to make it difficult to visually recognize a specific area (part) in the height direction in the game area 5a, and it is possible to make it difficult for other players to know the arrival of a chance or the like. Therefore, since it is possible to prevent the other player from looking into the game area 5a through the side window 410a at the game state such as the arrival of a chance, the player can concentrate on the game, and the game can be played. It is possible to make it more entertaining and suppress the decline in interest.

  Furthermore, since the door frame right side unit 410 extending long forward is provided with the side window 410a penetrating to the left and right, the three side window interior decoration portions 410b are extinguished, and the side window 410a is In the state where the passing visibility is secured, the inside of the game area 5a can be viewed from the side of the pachinko machine 1 through the side window 410a, so even if it does not move to the front of the pachinko machine 1, the island facility From the end of the game area 5a, it can be made easy to find out that an injustice has been made in the game area 5a, and the burden on the game hall side can be reduced.

  Further, of the left and right outer sides of the door window 101a of the door frame 3, the door frame right side unit 410 is extended forward from the right outer side farther from the left side attached to the main frame 4 so as to be hinge rotatable. Therefore, the door frame 3 can be opened 90 degrees or more with respect to the main body frame 4. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is opened and work such as maintenance or replacement of the game board 5 is performed, the door frame 3 can be made less likely to be in the way by opening the door frame 3 widely, preventing the deterioration of workability. can do.

  In addition, since the three side window interior decoration portions 410b are made to emit light in accordance with the gaming state, there is a possibility (the so-called, "big hit" game) that the player becomes advantageous (for example, "big hit" game) Depending on the expected value), the in-side window decorative portion 410b may be made to emit light or be turned off. In detail, for example, during the execution of the reach effect, the reach development effect, etc., when the expectation value is low, by making the side window interior decoration portion 410b emit light to make it difficult for another player to see, an advantageous gaming state occurs. When it does not do (when it is "losing"), it can be avoided that it becomes an awkward atmosphere with other players, and can suppress the fall of the interest to a player's game. Alternatively, when the expectation value is high, the advantageous game state occurs even if it is easy to be scolded by other players by not emitting light or turning off the decoration part 410b in the side window ("big hit" occurs) ), And it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest without becoming an awkward atmosphere, and to make the atmosphere that other players are cheering up, and to increase the interest of the player in the game It can make the game more entertaining.

  Furthermore, since the three side window interior decoration portions 410b are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, the possibility of occurrence of an advantageous gaming state (for example, a "big hit" game) in which the player is advantageous (so-called, Depending on the expected value), the three side window interior decoration 410b may be made to emit light in order (for example, from bottom to top, top to bottom, center to top and bottom, etc.) or three side window interior decoration 410b The specific side window interior decoration 410b may be made to emit light. In detail, for example, during the execution of the reach production, the reach development production, etc., the higher the expectation value, the more the three side window interior decoration portions 410b emit light in order from the bottom or in order from the top; Thus, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to look out from the player, to suggest an expected value, to increase the player's expectation for the game and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  The light emission modes of the three side window inner decoration parts 410b as described above are, in addition to light emission (lighting) and extinguishing, differences in blinking patterns and light emitting colors, changes in light emitting color (for example, cold blue to hot Change of feeling to red, change of blue yellow red to imitate traffic signal, etc., or change of brightness (brightness), etc. may be used, and the same operation effect as the above can be exhibited. The decorativeness of the door frame 3 can be further enhanced by the three side window interior decoration portions 410b, and the pachinko machine 1 with high appeal that can strongly attract the player's attention can be obtained.

  From such a thing, conversely, during execution of reach production, reach development production, etc., it is advantageous game state for the player due to the presence or absence of light emission of the three side window interior decoration 410b and the light emission mode such as the light emission pattern. Since it is possible to indicate the degree of possibility (expected value) of occurrence of the character, the player is excited depending on what kind of light emission mode the three side window interior decoration portions 410b emit light during the execution of the effect. It is possible to make the player feel excited, and to make the player's sense of expectation higher, thereby suppressing the decrease in interest.

  Further, the three side window interior decorative portions 410b may be made to be able to emit light or turn off arbitrarily by the operation of the effect operation unit 301 of the effect operation unit 300 provided in the door frame 3. . Thereby, for example, when the possibility (so-called, expected value) of occurrence of an advantageous gaming state (for example, a "big hit" game) in which the player is advantageous (a so-called expectation value) is low, at the time of reach effect or reach effect, etc. By operating the unit 301 to make the side window interior decoration unit 410b emit light, it is possible to prevent the other player from being overlooked by another player, so that no advantageous gaming state occurs (in the case of "losing") In addition, it is possible to avoid an awkward atmosphere due to being seen by other players, and to suppress a drop in interest for the player's game. Alternatively, when the possibility (expected value) for the occurrence of the advantageous gaming state is high (or when a hot effect is being executed), the effect operation unit 301 is operated to prevent the side window interior decoration portion 410b from emitting light. (Or, by turning off the decoration in the side window 410b), even if it is scolded from another player, the occurrence of the advantageous gaming state does not become an awkward atmosphere and a drop in interest is While being able to suppress, it can be made into the atmosphere which other players are cheering up, and it is possible to make the player's interest in the game more enjoyable and make the game more enjoyable.

  In addition, the timing at which the three side window inner decorative portions 410b emit light, the light emission mode, and the like may be set by the operation of the effect operation unit 301. In this way, in the default state set in advance, the player-specific timing that the player does not want to see from other players is not set, and some players may feel uncomfortable because they are scolded by the player and the interest for the game is entertained. Although there is a risk that the game can be customized according to the player's preferences by the operation of the rendering operation unit 301, the above-described effects can be reliably achieved, and the player's interest in the game can be enjoyed. The decrease can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the dispensing device 580 of the dispensing unit 560 in the main body frame 4, the ball pulling lever 593 is lowered (locked) to make the ball pulling movable piece 592 unrotatable and the ball pulling passage. In the state where the 580b is closed (the first state), the game ball B which has flowed down the dispensing passage 580a from the upstream can not be circulated to the ball pulling passage 580b by the ball pulling movable piece 592. It will be circulated to the downstream side of the dispensing passage 580a and can be sent to the dispensing blade 589 through the dispensing passage 580a. On the other hand, when the ball extraction lever 593 is raised (the lock is released) to make the ball extraction movable piece 592 rotatable (second state), the gaming ball B which has flowed down the payout passage 580a from the upstream is the payout passage It will flow to the ball extraction passage 580b beyond the ball extraction movable piece 592 without flowing to the downstream side of the 580a, and may be discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 which is the island facility side via the ball extraction passage 580b. it can. Further, since the discharge blade 589 is provided on the downstream side of the discharge passage 580a, in the normal state, the ball extraction movable piece 592 is in a non-rotatable state (first state) by the ball extraction lever 593. On the upstream side of the payout blade 589, the gaming balls B are held in a continuous state as in a beaded connection.

  When the payout blade 589 is rotationally driven in this normal state, the gaming ball B on the upstream side of the payout blade 589 flows to the downstream side, and the gaming ball B is induced to the payout blade 589 by the ball extraction movable piece 592. Since the game ball B on the upstream side of the payout wing 589 is relatively slow since the game sphere B is paid out one by one in the payout wing 589 while being sent to the payout wing 589, Since the force acting on the ball removal movable piece 592 due to contact is relatively weak, and the opposite side of the part of the ball removal movable piece 592 to be in contact with the game ball B is near the center of the ball removal passage 580 b There is no possibility that the ball extraction passage 580b is pinched between the wall surface of the ball extraction passage 580b and the gaming ball B, and the ball extraction movable piece 592 is not broken. From this, it is possible to reduce the breakage of the ball extraction movable piece 592 during the game, so that it is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted due to the breakage of the ball extraction movable piece 592 and giving the player an unpleasant feeling. It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest for the player's game.

  On the other hand, when discharging the game ball B from the payout passage 580a when replacing or maintaining the pachinko machine 1 (or the game board 5), the ball pulling lever 593 can be raised to turn the ball pulling movable piece 592 In the state (the second state), the gaming ball B, which is in a state like a string connection on the upstream side of the ball extraction movable piece 592 flows over the ball extraction movable piece 592 to the ball extraction passage 580 b side Become. At this time, since the ball removal passage 580b extends straight from the upstream side of the discharge passage 580a, the gaming ball B that has flowed down from the upstream of the discharge passage 580a flows straight down to the ball removal passage 580b. At the same time, since the downstream side of the ball removal passage 580b communicates with the island equipment side, there is nothing like the payout wing 589 for suppressing the flow of the gaming ball B, so the gaming ball B is from the payout passage 580a side. It will flow down too early. As described above, in the state where the ball extraction movable piece 592 is rotatable, the gaming ball B flows down at a high speed in the ball extraction passage 580b, so the ball extraction movable piece 592 protruding into the ball extraction passage 580b. The game ball B comes into contact with the lower end side of the ball vigorously, but the ball extraction movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a of the dispenser main body 581 and the rear lid side guide wall 582a of the dispenser rear lid 582 Since the ball pullout movable piece 592 is moved to the outside of the ball pullout passage 580b by the contact force since it can move to the outer side than the inner surface of the ball pullout passage 580b, the ball pullout movable piece 592 is The game ball B is not pinched between the wall surface of the removal passage 580b and the game ball B, and a strong force can be prevented from acting on the ball extraction movable piece 592. Piece 59 Deterioration and breakage of the durability can be suppressed. From such a thing, since it is possible to make the ball removal movable piece 592 hard to break, more gaming balls B can be discharged faster to the island equipment side on the downstream side of the ball removal passage 580b. It is possible to suppress an increase in time required for replacement or maintenance of the machine 1, and to reduce the burden on the game hall side.

  In addition, when the ball extraction movable piece 592 is rotatable, the ball extraction passage 580b passes between the main-body-side guide wall 581a and the rear lid-side guide wall 582a at intervals where the ball extraction movable piece 592 is narrower than the gaming ball B. In order to move to the outside of the ball removal passage 580b, the game ball B is in contact with the ball removal movable piece 592 projecting into the ball removal passage 580b so that the ball removal movable piece 592 has a main body side guide wall 581a and a rear lid side guide wall 582a. Even when the game ball B is moved to the side between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a together with the ball extraction movable piece 592 when moving outward through the space, Only the game ball B can prevent outward movement by the space between the narrow main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. Then, the movement of the gaming ball B to the outside is blocked between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, so that the gaming ball B is separated from the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the ball thereafter Since the movement of the pullout movable piece 592 is due to an inertial force, a strong force does not act on the ball pullout movable piece 592, and the ball pullout movable piece 592 can be made hard to break and the main body side guide The gaming ball B does not protrude to the outside of the ball removal passage 580b from between the wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the gaming ball B can be reliably circulated to the downstream side of the ball removal passage 580b.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the frame-shaped outer frame 2 attached to the island facility of the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed can be opened and closed around the axis extending vertically on the left side. The main body frame 4 attached to the main frame 4 is closed so as to close the inside of the frame of the outer frame 2, and the door frame upper hinge pin 122 and the door frame lower hinge pin 126 (axial center) with respect to the main body frame 4 In the state where the door frame 3 attached so as to be openable / closable (hinge-rotatable) is closed, the front surface of the main body frame 4 and the rear surface of the door frame 3 face each other and extend in parallel Connection that connects the payout control board 633 on the frame 4 side, the main control board 1310 X, the peripheral control board 1510, etc. with the ball feeding unit 140 on the door frame 3 side, the handle unit 180, the rendering operation unit 300 etc. cave A portion 503 of the main frame 4 extends from the portion of the main frame 4 on the front surface of the main frame base 501 away from the axial center of the cable attachment recess 501h to the axial center and is mounted in the cable attachment recess 501h. After being held by the guiding body 502a of the connecting cable guiding member 502 extending in parallel with the front face and the rear face of the door frame 3, it further extends near the axial center, and then folded back and extends in a direction away from the axial center 3 is held by the cable holder 103a of the speaker duct 103 at a position closer to the axial center than the tip of the connection cable guide member 502, and then connected to the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub relay board 105 on the door frame 3 side. It is done.

  Then, when the door frame 3 closing (closing) the front side of the main body frame 4 is hingedly rotated about the axis on the left side so as to open from the main body frame 4, the rear surface of the door frame 3 is the main body Since the portion of the connecting cable 503 extending from the door frame 3 moves forward so as to be away from the main body frame 4 from being separated from the front surface of the frame 4, the folded connecting cable 503 is deformed to open. The connecting cable guiding member 502 is rotated (rotated) about the mounting shaft 502 c away from the axial center so that the connecting cable guiding member 502 is inclined with respect to the front surface of the main body frame 4 with the deformation of the connecting cable 503. Thus, when the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the tip end side close to the axial center of the connection cable guiding member 502 projects into the space between the main body frame 4 and the door frame 3. The connection cable 503 guided by the member 502 passes near the axis, and the connection cable guide member 502 and the connection cable 503 are less likely to be in the way.

  In other words, since the connecting cable guiding member 502 extends the distal end portion from the rotatably mounted attachment shaft 502c to the axial center side, the proximal end portion of the guiding member is used like a conventional pachinko machine. As compared with the case of extending in a direction away from the shaft core, the folded portion of the connection cable 503 guided by the connection cable guiding member 502 is the hinge pin 122 and the door frame on the door frame of the door frame 3 opening and closing. The position close to the lower hinge pin 126 can be made a position where the folded portion of the connection cable 503 is less likely to be an obstacle.

  On the other hand, when closing the door frame 3 which is open to the main body frame 4, the rear surface of the door frame 3 moves so as to approach the front surface of the main body frame 4. Moves in the reverse direction to the above, and the connection cable 503 is held (guided) by the connection cable guide member 502, so that the door frame 3 is not pinched between the main body frame 4 and the door frame 3. It can be closed. Therefore, at the time of maintenance such as opening and closing the door frame 3, the connection cable guide member 502 and the connection cable 503 do not interfere with the maintenance, and the maintenance can be performed smoothly and interrupted for maintenance It is possible to reduce the increase in interruption time of the playing game, and to suppress the decrease in the interest for the player's playing the game.

  Further, the connection cable 503 extending from the tip of the connection cable guiding member 502 to the axial center side is folded back and extends in the direction away from the axial core at a position closer to the axial core than the tip of the connection cable guiding member 502 Since the cable holder 103a holds it on the door frame 3 side, the rotation angle of the connection cable guiding member 502 with respect to the front surface of the main body frame 4 (cable attachment recess 501h) is a circle passing through the cable holder 103a around the axial center. The tangent line passing through the center of the attachment shaft 502c of the connecting cable guiding member 502 is equal to or less than the angle crossing the rear surface of the door frame 3, so the extending longitudinal axis of the connecting cable guiding member 502 is the door frame 3 It is possible not to make an angle close to a right angle with respect to the rear face of. Further, on the side of the door frame 3, the folded connection cable 503 is held by the cable holder 103 a at a position closer to the axial center than the tip of the connection cable guide member 502. When closing 3, the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 can be pulled toward the axial center side by the connection cable 503 held by the cable holder 103 a.

  From these things, when closing the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable guide member 502 can be rotated so as to return to the original state, the door frame 3 does not close, or the connection cable guide It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a defect in which the connection cable 503 is broken due to the end of the member 502 being in contact with the door frame 3. Therefore, the connection cable guiding member 502 and the connection cable 503 do not disturb the maintenance work when a defect occurs such that the door frame 3 must be opened and closed for maintenance while playing the game. This can be smoothly performed, and the increase in the interruption time of the game can be reduced to suppress the decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, since the connecting cable 503 guided by the connecting cable guiding member 502 is folded 180 degrees when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connecting cable 503 is folded at the folded part. You can put on a bribe. Thus, when the door frame 3 is opened, the force for closing the connection cable 503 is acted upon by the fold when the 180-folded portion of the connection cable 503 is changed to open. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed, it is possible to prevent the connecting cable 503 (connection cable guiding member 502) from moving in the opening direction by its fold, and the connecting cable 503 (connection cable guiding member 502) It can be guided in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be smoothly closed.

  Further, in the door frame 3 opposite to the main body frame 4 to which the connecting cable guide member 502 is attached, a position closer to the axial center than the tip of the connecting cable guide member 502 when closed (axial center than the cable holder 103a (A position closer to the center of the speaker duct 103 than the cable holder 103a in the speaker duct 103), which can press the connection cable 503 toward the main frame 4 to which the connection cable guide member 502 is attached. A portion projecting backward on the side). As a result, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the pressing portion abuts on the connection cable 503 to press the distal end side of the connection cable guiding member 502 opened via the connection cable 503 in the closing direction. Therefore, the connection cable guiding member 502 can be smoothly closed along with the movement of the door frame 3 in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be reliably closed. In addition, a tangent line passing through the rotation center of the connection cable guiding member 502 and touching a circle passing through the pressing portion centering on the central axis (axial center) of the door frame upper hinge pin 122 and the door frame lower hinge pin 126 The crossing angle is configured to be 45 degrees or less. Thus, the maximum opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 that rotates (opens and closes) with the opening and closing of the door frame 3 can be 45 degrees or less. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed, the connection cable guide member It is possible to reliably rotate 502 in the closing direction, and the same function and effect as described above can be obtained.

  Furthermore, since the frame pieces 502b are respectively provided on the two long sides of the guide main body 502a in the connection cable guide member 502, the rigidity of the flat guide main body 502a is increased and it becomes difficult to bend. As a result, the connecting cable 503 can be guided in the longitudinal direction by the pair of frame pieces 502b, and the pachinko machine 1 having the above-described effects can be reliably embodied.

  Further, as described above, since the rigidity of the connection cable guide member 502 is enhanced, the connection cable guide member 502 is bent and distorted even when the connection cable 503 is a heavy connection cable 503 made of many electric wires. Therefore, the connecting cable guiding member 502 can be reliably rotated about the mounting shaft 502c, and the connecting cable 503 can be guided in a good state, and more electric wires can be guided. Since this becomes possible, the electrical connection between the main body frame 4 and the door frame 3 can be concentrated in one place, and the configuration of the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified.

  Further, in a state in which the connection cable 503 is put between the pair of frame pieces 502b in the guide main body 502a of the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is connected to the connection cable 503 through the binding band 504 through the through holes 502d on both sides. Since the connection cable 503 can be held on the connection cable guide member 502 by winding the cable guide member 502 together with the binding band 504, the operation for holding the connection cable 503 on the connection cable guide member 502 is easily performed. be able to. Further, by holding the connection cable 503 by the binding band 504 through the through hole 502 d of the connection cable guiding member 502, the binding band 504 can be prevented from being detached from the guiding member 502. The connection cable 503 can be reliably held, and when the connection cable 503 is released from the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is pinched between the main frame 4 and the door frame 3 when the door frame 3 is closed. Can be avoided, and the above-described effects can be reliably achieved.

  Furthermore, the space on the rear side of the main body frame speaker 622 of the speaker unit 620a attached to the main body frame 4 is a lower portion of the outer frame constituting the lower side of the outer frame 2 via the connection portion 621c and the connection cylindrical portion 43a. Since the space between the port member 47 and the connection cylinder 43a in the assembly 40 (the inner space 40a of the curtain plate) is communicated, the space in the speaker unit 620a and the space on the outer frame 2 side cause the main frame speaker Since the volume of the enclosure 624 of 622 can be secured sufficiently, a deep bass can be output from the main body frame speaker 622, and the sound of the bass can be used to entertain the player and suppress a drop in interest for the game. Can. Therefore, by providing the cable attachment recess 501 h for attaching the connection cable guide member 502 to the main body frame 4, even if the volume in the speaker unit 620 a decreases, it is possible to output the sound of deep bass from the main frame speaker 622 Since it is possible, the main body frame 4 can be provided with the cable attachment recess 501 h recessed rearward at the lower side of the main body frame speaker 622, and the connection cable guide member 502 having the above-described effects can be attached to the main body frame 4 side. In addition, since the connection cable guide member 502 holding a part of the connection cable 503 is attached to the inside of the cable attachment recess 501 h recessed backward in the main body frame 4, the door frame 3 is attached to the main body frame 4. When closed, the connection cable guide member 502 is accommodated in the cable attachment recess 501h, so that the protrusion from the front surface of the main body frame 4 can be suppressed as much as possible, and the interference with the rear surface of the door frame 3 is prevented. It is possible to prevent the door frame 3 from being closed reliably.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the main body frame 4 and the door frame 3 are closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the main body frame of the main body frame 4 through the door window 101a of the door frame base 101 of the door frame 3. The game area 5a of the game board 5 held in the game board insertion slot 501b of the base 501 can be viewed from the front (player side), and the lower side of the outer frame 2 is configured below the door window 101a. The front end of the port member 47 is open near the right end portion in the longitudinal direction (left and right direction) of the front surface of the front curtain plate member 42 of the outer frame lower assembly 40 and the port member at the lower front of the door frame 3 The speaker port 211 b of the dish base unit 210 is opened near the left end opposite to the left and right direction 47. And, the speaker opening 211 b communicates with the front side of the main body frame speaker 622 attached below the gaming board insertion port 501 b of the main body frame 4 and a speaker unit 620 a covering the rear side of the main body frame speaker 622 The internal space of the (speaker cover 621 and the speaker box 623) communicates with the inside of the port member 47 via the connection portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 and the connection cylindrical portion 43a of the rear curtain plate member 43. In this state, when the main body frame speaker 622 attached to the speaker unit 620 a is driven, the sound such as voice, music, and sound effect output forward from the main body frame speaker 622 is the speaker attachment portion of the speaker cover 621 The light is emitted to the player through the speaker opening 621 a and the speaker opening 211 b of the door frame 3. On the other hand, the sound output rearward from the main frame speaker 622 passes through the connecting portion 621c and the connecting cylindrical portion 43a to the inside of the curtain inner space 40a constituted by the curtain front member 42 and the curtain rear member 43. And is emitted from the port member 47 to the front player side. At this time, since the space (enclosure 624) on the rear side of the main body frame speaker 622 is constituted by the inner space of the speaker unit 620a and the inner space 40a of the lower frame lower assembly 40, The volume can be made as large as possible, and a sound with an extension in the low range from the body frame speaker 622 can be output. Further, since the connection cylindrical portion 43a of the rear curtain plate member 43 in the outer frame 2 is opened toward the center side (upper side) in the frame, the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 in the enclosure 624 (speaker unit 620a Since the width in the depth direction (longitudinal direction) at the connection portion with) can be made larger than in the prior art, the width in the front and rear direction of the connection cylindrical portion 43a and the connection portion 621c is increased, and the inside of the speaker unit 620a The attenuation of the sound from the space to the side of the inner space 40a of the outer frame 2 can be reduced as much as possible. Furthermore, on the outer frame 2 side, since the port member 47 has a cylindrical shape, Helmholtz resonance occurs in the port member 47, so that it is possible to amplify the bass range and to invert the phase. 47 can output a sound with amplified bass. Since the sound output forward from the main frame speaker 622 and the sound output forward from the port member 47 interfere with each other in front of the pachinko machine 1 and are synthesized, the volume becomes larger. The player can hear richer bass sounds, and the player can enjoy sounds such as voice, music, and sound effects to suppress a decrease in interest.

  Further, as described above, since the phase of the sound output backward from the main body frame speaker 622 in the port member 47 is inverted and radiated forward (a so-called bass reflex type speaker is configured), the main body When the sound output forward from the frame speaker 622 and the sound output forward from the port member 47 overlap, the phases of each other are the same, so the amplitude of the sound wave increases and the volume of the sound increases. Compared to the case of using a passive radiator, the output of sound can be enhanced with a simple configuration.

  Furthermore, since the speaker unit 620a and the outer frame lower assembly 40 are disposed below the game board insertion slot 501b in which the game board 5 is held, the upper and lower dimensions thereof can be enlarged. The volume of the enclosure 624 can be increased. In detail, generally, when the player is seated in front of the pachinko machine 1, the position (height) of the player's eyes is positioned above the center of the pachinko machine 1 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the center of the game area 5a in which the game is played is located above the center of the pachinko machine 1. From this, since the space is relatively easy to secure in the lower part of the pachinko machine 1, it is lower than the game board insertion slot 501b in the outer frame lower assembly 40 and the main body frame 4 constituting the lower side of the outer frame 2. Since the upper and lower dimensions of the side can be made relatively large, the volume of the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 can be increased by enlarging the upper and lower dimensions of the outer frame lower assembly 40 and the speaker unit 620a. As well as being able to output sounds richer in bass, it is possible to make the player enjoy the sound and to control the decline in interest for the game.

  Further, since the connecting cylindrical portion 43a and the connecting portion 621c are inclined with respect to the front-rear direction, the connecting portion 621c abuts on the connecting cylindrical portion 43a only by closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. It can be connected, and the same operation and effect as described above can be exhibited, and since the sliding resistance does not occur between the connection cylindrical portion 43a and the connection portion 621c, the opening and closing operation of the main body frame 4 becomes heavy Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decrease in workability at the time of maintenance and the like.

  Furthermore, since the sealing member 48 seals between the connection cylindrical portion 43a and the connection portion 621c, sound leakage in the enclosure 624 can be prevented between the connection cylindrical portion 43a and the connection portion 621c. A pachinko machine 1 can be provided that reliably exerts the above-described effects.

  In addition, since a part of the volume of the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 can be secured in the outer frame lower assembly 40 of the outer frame 2, the speaker unit 620a can be made smaller, so the game board is relatively relative. The large insertion slot 501b can be provided to provide a wider gaming board 5 of the gaming area 5a, and the wider gaming area 5a can further entertain the player, and the wide gaming area 5a can be provided through the door window 101a of the door frame 3. This pachinko machine 1 can be made to stand out by making it visible, and the pachinko machine 1 can be made highly appealing to the player.

  Furthermore, in the lower part of the pachinko machine 1, the port member 47 is disposed in the vicinity of the right end in the horizontal direction, and the speaker attachment portion 621a of the speaker unit 620a, that is, the main frame speaker 622 is disposed in the vicinity of the opposite left end. Because the main frame speaker 622 and the port member 47 are separated in the left-right direction, the sound output forward from the main frame speaker 622 and the sound output forward from the port member 47 are outer frames. 2 (Pachinko machine 1) will interfere with each other at a position spaced forward to some extent, and the sound can be amplified in the vicinity of the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1, as described above You can hear the sound of rich bass.

  Further, as described above, the sound output forward from the main body frame speaker 622 and the port member 47 is interfered and amplified in the vicinity of the player, and therefore, it is possible to prevent the other pachinko machine 1 from being separated. The player will receive an unamplified sound. As a result, when a sound is output that suggests the arrival of a chance, the player playing a game with this pachinko machine 1 can increase the sense of expectation for the game by hearing a sound that is loud and rich in bass. It can be done. On the other hand, since it becomes difficult for the player playing a game with another pachinko machine to hear the sound from this pachinko machine 1, it is difficult to make it possible to recognize that the arrival of a chance etc. is suggested in this pachinko machine 1 It is possible to reduce the chances of the other player from looking into the pachinko machine 1, and by peeping in, the player playing the game with the pachinko machine 1 feels uncomfortable and reduces interest. Can be suppressed.

  Further, since the position of the connection cylindrical portion 43a of the outer frame 2 is at the center in the longitudinal direction (left and right direction) of the outer frame lower assembly 40, the speaker unit 620a on the main body frame 4 side connected to the connection cylindrical portion 43a Since the position of the connection portion 621c is at the center in the left-right direction, the length of the speaker unit 620a in the left-right direction can be from the vicinity of the left end where the speaker attachment portion 621a is formed to the center A space can be secured on the opposite side to the speaker unit 620a with the center at 4 in FIG. Therefore, in the body frame 4, another member is disposed in a space secured on the opposite side to the speaker unit 620 a with the center in the left-right direction, or the other members are enlarged so as to extend to the space. Therefore, the player can be differentiated from other pachinko machines by other members, and the pachinko machine 1 can be strongly attracted to the player's attention.

  Further, as described above, since a space can be secured on the opposite side to the speaker unit 620a with the center in the left and right direction of the lower side of the outer frame 2 interposed, the gaming ball B is discharged to that space. A base unit 620b having a ball extraction guiding portion 627 for the ball and a discharge ball receiving portion 628, and a ball emitting device 540 for driving the game ball B into the game area 5a of the game board 5 attached to the main frame , A power supply substrate 630 for controlling the power supply in the pachinko machine 1, a payout control board 633 for controlling the payout of gaming medium balls, etc. can be disposed, and the pachinko machine 1 can be provided with these components reliably .

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the center pressing operation portion 303a protruding upward from the upper surface of the plate unit 200 bulging forward and downward of the gaming area 5a of the gaming board 5 where the game is played An annular outer circumferential pressing portion 303b surrounding the outer circumference of the central pressing portion 303a and an annular outer circumferential pressing portion 303b having a diameter larger than the distance in the front-rear direction of the upper tray 201; Since the upper surface 302 is inclined in such a manner that the front end side of the upper surface is lower, the head of the player whose upper surface of the rotary operation portion 302 and the pressure operation portion 303 is seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 (Face) turns to a certain direction, and the whole volume of the center pressing operation unit 303a, the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b, and the rotation operation unit 302 can be easily viewed, and the three concentrically arranged The player can show the player a large operation unit (the pressing operation unit 303 and the rotation operation unit 302), and can give a strong impact to the player, and the operation unit provided in the conventional pachinko machine It can be recognized at first glance that the operation unit is provided in a clearly different form, and it is possible to differentiate the present pachinko machine 1 from other pachinko machines and make the player's interest strongly attracted it can. In addition, since the central pressing operation unit 303a, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b, and the rotary operating unit 302 are noticeable, the game in which the central pressing operating unit 303a, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b, and the rotary operating unit 302 are operated for the player It is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the player participation type effect, and to advance the game to the game state where the player participation type effect is executed (here, many game balls B are driven into the game area 5a Can be made easy to participate in the effect when the player participation type effect is executed, and the player participation type effect can be enjoyed and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  In addition, depending on the game state, the central push operation unit 303a and the outer peripheral push operation unit 303b are slightly projected from the upper surface of the rotary operation unit 302 by the elevation mechanism including the operation button elevation drive motor 367 etc. And the projecting position (upward position) projecting upward from the retracted position, and when in the retracted position, the outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b is pressed by the locking portion 371c of the elevation cam member 371. In the disabled state, the central pressing operation unit 303a and the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b are in the retracted position, so that the player can clearly recognize that the pressing operation of the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b can not be received. Since the center pressing operation unit 303a can be reliably pressed and operated, the player participation type effect is enjoyed and the interest is reduced. It is possible to control.

  Furthermore, in the state of the retracted position, since the outer periphery pressing portion 303b is incapable of pressing, there is an outer periphery pressing portion 303b which does not move between the central pressing portion 303a and the rotation operating portion 302. Therefore, the erroneous operation such as pressing the center pressing operation unit 303a to the run of the rotation operation unit 302 or rotating the rotation operation unit 302 to the run of the center pressing operation unit 303a is performed. Can be made hard to occur, and player participation type effects can be surely enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Then, the central pressing operation portion 303a and the outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b are largely projected upward on the upper surface of the pan unit 200 by moving to the projecting position, so that the central pressing operating portion 303a and the outer peripheral pressing operation portion 303b can be made conspicuous, and a strong impact can be given to the player, and a premium feeling can be given to pressing operations of the center pressing operation unit 303a and the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b, which may be good It is possible to make the expectation for the game to be heightened as if it is Therefore, it is possible to make it easy to participate in the player participation type effect for pressing the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b and the center pressing operation unit 303a, and it is possible to enjoy the player participation type effect and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In the state of this projecting position, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b can be newly pressed, and the central pressing operation unit 303a, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b, and the rotation operation unit 302 are arranged concentrically, for example, When pressing the central pressing unit 303a, the peripheral pressing unit 303b is pressed, or both the central pressing unit 303a and the peripheral pressing unit 303b are pressed, or When pressing the peripheral pressing unit 303b, the central pressing unit 303a may be pressed, or both the central pressing unit 303a and the peripheral pressing unit 303b may be pressed, or the rotation may be performed. When the operation unit 302 is rotated or the rotation operation unit 302 must be rotated, the outer circumferential pressing operation is performed. Or accidentally pushes the section 303b, and an outer peripheral pressing portion 303b and the central pressing portion 303a can be induced to or accidentally pressed. As a result, when the player performs the pressing operation or the rotating operation, the pressing operation or the rotating operation can be performed while keeping the pressing operation unit 303 to be pressed and the rotation operation unit 302 to be rotated operated in mind. A sense of tension can be given to the press operation and the rotation operation, which can make it difficult for the player to get bored, and can enjoy the player participation type effect for performing the press operation and the rotation operation. It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest for the player's game.

  In addition, the player is provided with notification means such as the vibration speaker 354 and the effect display device 1600, and in the player participation type effect, the player performs the center pressing operation in the state of the projecting position where the pressing operation of the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b is possible. If only the outer peripheral pressing portion 303b is pressed by mistake when pressing the portion 303a, the notification means indicates that the central pressing portion 303a is pressed and the pressing operation is performed again to perform pressing. It is possible to reliably press the center pressing operation unit 303a which should be performed, to allow the player to enjoy the player participation type effect, and since the mistake of the pressing operation is corrected, the player loses by making a mistake It is possible to prevent the user from feeling and to enjoy the player participation type effect to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, when it is assumed that the player is performing the pressing operation on the center pressing operation unit 303a correctly, the reaction (change) of the player participation type effect despite the pressing operation on the center pressing operation unit 303a. However, if the central pressing operation unit 303a is broken, the player may feel illusion and reduce interest. On the other hand, as described above, since the notification means notifies the mistake of the pressing operation, it is possible to correct the player's guess, and the player is made to participate by correctly pressing the central pressing operation unit 303a. You can enjoy the type effect.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the upper tray 201 and the lower tray 202 for storing the gaming balls B for performing the forward bulging in front of and below the gaming area 5a of the gaming board 5 where the gaming is performed In the plate unit 200, the outer peripheral side surface, the upper surface, and the inner peripheral side surface are exposed to the outside, and an annular rotary operation unit 302 rotatable around an axis extending up and down; While the pressing operation unit 303 including the central pressing operation unit 303a and the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b is disposed, the rotation operation unit 302 is selected according to the gaming state which is changed by playing a game in the gaming area 5a. The player participation type effect of rotating operation or pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is executed by the periphery control board 1510. Then, when the player participation type effect is executed, the player appropriately rotates the rotation operation unit 302 in the appropriate direction or presses the pressing operation unit 303, according to the rotation operation or the pressing operation. Since the effect is changed, the player can participate in the effect, and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest. When rotating the rotation operation unit 302, the player touches and operates any of the outer peripheral side surface, the upper surface, and the inner peripheral side surface exposed to the outside, and the rotation center of the rotation operation unit 302 is the most Since it is possible to touch the distant position and perform the rotation operation, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated with a relatively small force, and the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 can be easily performed. In addition, when the player touches the outer peripheral side surface of the rotary operation unit 302 to perform the rotary operation, the player can easily rotate the rotary operation unit 302 at a high speed by operating the player to rub the outer peripheral side surface in one direction. it can. Therefore, even when a player participation type effect that requires high-speed rotation to the rotation operation unit 302 is executed, as described above, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated at a high speed. On the other hand, the effect can be enjoyed, and a decrease in interest for the player's game can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated with a relatively small (light) force, it is possible to make the player less likely to fatigue prematurely even if the rotation operation unit 302 is frequently rotated. The player participation type effect of rotating the operation unit 302 can be continued and enjoyed, and a decrease in interest for the player's game can be suppressed. Further, as described above, since the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated quickly or rotated with a light force, various player's rotation operations can be requested in the player participation type effect, It becomes possible to request different rotation operations in each, and it is possible to present more various and various player participation type effects to the player, making it difficult for the player to get bored and suppressing the decrease in interest. Can.

  Furthermore, the outer peripheral side of the operation cover (constituted by the ring outer upper cover 335, the ring outer lower cover 336, and the ring inner cover 337), which the player touches and rotates, is rotatably attached to the tray unit 200. The disc unit 200 does not get in the way even if it rotates so as to rub the outer peripheral side surface because it protrudes in an arc shape outward (in the direction opposite to the center of rotation) than the rotating base 332 Since the rotation operation unit 302 can be easily rotated and the outer peripheral side surface of the rotation operation unit 302 is rounded, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated even from a direction other than just beside the rotation operation unit 302 (a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis). Since it becomes easy to touch the outer peripheral side, the player operates the rotary operation unit 302 without worrying about the position and direction of the outer peripheral side of the rotary operation unit 302. It can be, it is possible to enhance the operability of the rotation operating part 302. Therefore, since the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated so as to rub the outer peripheral side surface of the rotation operation unit 302 (operation cover), the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated at a faster speed in the player participation type effect The player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the diameter of the rotation operation unit 302 is increased, rotation operation at a minute rotation angle can be facilitated or rotation operation compared to a rotation operation unit with a small diameter such as a conventional pachinko machine. Since the player's action at the time of the game can be increased, it is possible to make the player feel more that the rotation operation unit 302 is being rotated, and the rotation operation unit in the player participation type effect The rotation operation of 302 can be enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, since the outer peripheral side surface, the upper surface, and the inner peripheral side surface are exposed to the outside with the rotation operation unit 302 formed in a ring shape, when the player rotates the rotation operation unit 302, the upper surface is Since the user can touch the part according to the player's preference or situation, such as the inner circumferential side or the like, and can perform the rotation operation, the operability of the rotation operation unit 302 can be further enhanced. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest by making the player participation type presentation more enjoyable.

  Further, since the outer peripheral side surface, the upper surface, and the inner peripheral side surface of the rotation operation unit 302 are exposed to the outside so that the player can perform the rotation operation, even if the pressing operation unit 303 is provided in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 The operation unit 303 does not inhibit the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302, and can rotate the rotation operation unit 302 comfortably, and enjoys both the rotation operation and the pressing operation sufficiently to suppress a decrease in interest It can be done.

  Furthermore, the outer peripheral side surface, the upper surface, and the inner peripheral side surface of the rotation operation unit 302 are exposed to the outside so that the player can perform the rotation operation, and the rotation operation unit 302 can not be grasped by the player. The appearance of the portion 302 can be totally different from that of the steering wheel of an automobile, the control stick of an airplane, or the like. Thus, for example, in the case where the rotation operation unit is in the form of a steering wheel of a car, it is assumed that the player holds the rotation operation portion and operates the moment the player looks at the rotation operation portion. Because only operations such as steering wheel steering can be performed, when a player participation type presentation requiring various rotation operations is executed, a rotation operation different from steering wheel steering can not be performed, and player participation type presentation is performed. There is a risk that the game will not be entertained and the interest in the game may be reduced. However, in this embodiment, the appearance of the rotation operation unit 302 is completely different from the appearance of the steering wheel of an automobile, the control rod of an airplane, etc. It becomes possible to wipe off, the rotation operation unit 302 can be operated according to the desire of the player, and the player participation type effect can be enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the outer peripheral side surface, the upper surface, etc. of the rotary operation unit 302 are exposed to the outside even when the pressing operation unit 303 is moved to the projecting position, the outer peripheral side surface, the upper surface, etc. of the rotary operation unit 302 is rotated. Therefore, the protruding pressing operation unit 303 does not get in the way, and the rotation operation unit 302 can be comfortably rotated, and the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 is enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest it can.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the upper tray 201 or the lower tray 202 for storing the gaming balls B for performing the forward bulging in front of and below the gaming area 5a where the gaming is performed on the gaming board 5 The rotary unit includes an annular rotary operation unit 302 whose rotation axis extends vertically, and a central pressing unit 303a and an outer peripheral pressing unit 303b in the ring of the rotational unit 302. The pressing operation unit 303 is disposed, and when the player rotates the rotation operation unit 302, the rotation axis of the rotation operation unit 302 is orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotation operation unit 302 via the ring gear 332a of the rotation base 332 of the rotation operation unit 302. The transmission detection gear member 345 of the rotational drive unit 340 rotates around an axis, and the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 For detecting the rotation by detecting a known piece 345b, it is possible to detect a rotating operation of the rotary operation unit 302 via the transmission detection gear member 345. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the detection piece for detecting rotation on the lower side over the entire circumference as in the conventional rotation operation unit. In addition, since the rotation of the rotation operation unit 302 is transmitted to the transmission detection gear member 345 via the ring gear 332a, the portion for transmitting the rotation from the ring gear 332a to the transmission detection gear member 345 (operation ring transmission gear 350 And the meshed portion) may be a part of the entire circumference of the rotation operation unit 302. Therefore, a space can be easily secured below the rotation operation unit 302, and a sufficient number of LEDs are circularly arranged in a row between the rotation operation unit 302 and the transmission detection gear member 345. An operation ring decoration substrate 352 can be arranged. Then, according to the gaming state which is changed by playing the game in the gaming area 5a, and the rotation detection of the rotation operation unit 302 by the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348, the effect operation ring decoration substrate Properly (uniformly) decorate the whole of the ring outer upper cover 335, the ring outer lower cover 336, and the inner ring cover 337 constituting the rotary operation unit 302 by appropriately emitting the plurality of LEDs 352. It is possible to make the rotation operation unit 302 stand out and strongly attract the player's attention.

  Further, since the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the rotation operation unit 302 can be detected by the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 via the transmission detection gear member 345, the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302 A plurality of LEDs arranged in a ring shape of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 can be sequentially emitted (turned on / off) at the same direction and the same speed. As a result, the rotary operation unit 302 is rotated in a state in which specific portions of the ring outer upper cover 335, the ring outer lower cover 336, and the in-ring cover 337 are light-emitting and decorated. It is possible to illusion that the LED is provided inside the rotation operation unit 302, and the rotation (rotation operation) of the rotation operation unit 302 can be enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest. Alternatively, when executing the player participation type effect requiring the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 according to the gaming state, the plurality of LEDs arranged in an annular shape of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 are rotated By sequentially emitting light in the direction desired to be operated, the player can be urged to perform the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302, and the player participation type effect can be enjoyed and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  In addition, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 detect the rotation direction and rotation speed (rpm) of the rotation operation unit 302, and are arrayed in an annular shape on the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 The plurality of LEDs can be lighted in order to have the same rotational speed as the rotation operation unit 302. As a result, although the player rotates the rotary operation unit 302, it rotates together with the rotary operation unit 302 in a state where a part of the rotary operation unit 302 emits light. While being able to give a strong impact to the player, and being able to give a premium feeling by the rotation of the rotation operation unit 302 and the light emission decoration, there may be something good for the player It is possible to make the player feel more expectation for the game, and to suppress the decrease in the interest for the player's game.

  Furthermore, since the plurality of LEDs arranged in an annular shape of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 can be made to sequentially emit light, and the light emission decoration in which the light rotates in the rotation operation unit 302 can be shown to the player On the other hand, it is possible to immediately recognize that the annular rotation operation unit 302 is for rotating operation, and to make it easy for the player to participate in the effect when the player participation type effect is executed. As a result, it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the execution of the player participation type effect, and to suppress the decrease in the player's interest.

  Further, the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotatably mounted around an axis orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotation operation unit 302, and when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the rotation surface of the rotation operation unit 302, the rotation operation The transmission detection gear member 345 is disposed at a position as close as possible to the projection range of the unit 302, and the configuration related to the rotation operation unit 302 in the plate unit 200 (rendering operation unit 300 or rotation drive unit 340) Can be made compact, so that the diameter of the rotation operation unit 302 can be relatively increased, and the rotation operation unit 302 can be made to stand out to attract the player's interest strongly.

  Furthermore, the operation ring drive motor 342 is provided to rotate the rotation operation unit 302 via the transmission detection gear member 345 according to the game state, and as described above, the rotation operation is possible by the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 Since the operation unit 302 can be rotated by the operation ring drive motor 342 in addition to the rotation operation of the player, the rotation operation unit 302 on the upper surface of the plate unit 200 is rotated according to the game state, By making the decoration possible, it is possible to make the rotary operation unit 302 stand out in front of and below the game area 5a, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the rotary operation unit 302.

  Further, since the rotation of the rotation operation unit 302 can be detected by the transmission detection gear member 345, the first rotation detection sensor 347, and the second rotation detection sensor 348, when the player rotates the rotation operation unit 302, the rotation operation is performed. By rotating the rotation operation unit 302 by the operation ring drive motor 342 in the same direction as the operation unit 302, the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 can be assisted, and the operation feeling of the rotation operation unit 302 can be lightened. . Alternatively, by rotating the rotation operation unit 302 by the operation ring drive motor 342 in the opposite direction to the rotation operation by the player, a load can be given to the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302, and the operation feeling of the rotation operation unit 302 Can be weighted. Furthermore, for the rotation operation by the player, the rotational operation unit 302 is rotated by applying rotational force to the rotation operation unit 302 in the direction in which the rotation is stopped by the operation ring drive motor 342 at every predetermined rotation angle. A click feeling can be given. Further, by rotating the rotational operation unit 302 back and forth within a predetermined angle range by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotational operation unit 302 can be vibrated. As described above, since various operation feeling can be given to the rotation operation unit 302 by the operation ring drive motor 342, it is possible to correspond to more diverse player participation type effects, so it is possible to play games by various effects. It is possible to make it difficult for the player to get bored, and to suppress the decrease in interest for the player's game.

  Furthermore, since the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 is provided, when giving the operation feeling of the rotation operation unit 302 by the operation ring drive motor 342, the plurality of LEDs of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 are the same as the rotation operation. By sequentially emitting light in the direction or emitting light sequentially in the opposite direction to the rotation operation, the feeling of operation can be supported by the light, so that the player can enjoy the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302. It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  In addition, since the diameter of the rotation operation unit 302 is made larger than the distance in the front-rear direction of the upper plate 201, the space below the rotation operation unit 302 can be easily secured, and a larger number of LEDs are mounted. Since the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 can be disposed, the rotation operation unit 302 can be decorated more uniformly and brightly, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted.

  Furthermore, the rotation operation unit 302, the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b, and the center pressing operation unit 303a are lighted and decorated by the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352, the outer periphery button decoration substrate 377, and the center button decoration substrate 376, respectively. Therefore, by making them emit light appropriately, only the rotary operation unit 302 emits light, or only the pressing operation unit 303 emits light, or only the center pressing operation unit 303a emits light, or the outer peripheral pressing operation is performed. Only the part 303 b can be illuminated and decorated, and it is easy to make the player recognize the operation part to be operated, and the player participation type effect can be enjoyed.

  In addition, since the plurality of LEDs are arranged in an annular shape on the outer periphery button decoration substrate 377, it is possible to perform a light emission effect such that the light is circulated by sequentially emitting light, so that the rotation operation unit 302 It is possible to perform an effect in which the effect by the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 and the effect by the outer periphery button decoration substrate 377 in the outer periphery pressing operation portion 303 b are associated. Specifically, for example, when prompting the player to perform the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302, the LED of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 and the LED of the outer circumference button decoration substrate 377 are sequentially emitted. The light is decorated in two rows so that the light rotates. Alternatively, when the player is rotating the rotary operation unit 302, the LED (peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) of the outer peripheral button decoration substrate 377 rotates the light according to the rotation of the rotary operation unit 302, or On the other hand, when it is desired to urge the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302 in the reverse direction, the LED of the outer peripheral button decoration substrate 377 performs light emission decoration in which light is rotated in the reverse direction. As described above, since various effects of light emission can be shown to the player, the player can be entertained, and a decrease in interest for the game can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, a presentation operation ring decoration substrate 352, an outer periphery button decoration substrate 377, and a central button decoration substrate 376 for emitting and decorating the rotary operation unit 302, the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303b, and the center pressing operation unit 303a arranged concentrically. Since it is provided, for example, the rotation operation unit 302 is made to emit light from the respective LEDs in the order of the rendering operation ring decoration substrate 352, the outer periphery button decoration substrate 377, and the center button decoration substrate 376, or in the reverse order. It is possible to show an effect of light concentrated to the center pressing operation unit 303a, and an effect of light diffused to the rotation operation unit 302 from the center pressing operation unit 303a. As a result, it is possible to show the player more various light emission decorations, to entertain the player, and to direct the player's attention to the central pressing operation unit 303a or to the rotation operation unit 302. It is possible to promote the operation of the center pressing operation unit 303a and the rotation operation unit 302 to enjoy the player participation type effect.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game board 5 having the game area 5a in which a game is played can be removably attached to the main body frame 4 from the front, and the front of the main body frame 4 can be opened and closed. While forming the door window 101a which can visually recognize the game area 5a from the front on the door frame base 101 of the door frame 3 which is closed, the glass unit 160 provided with the transparent flat glass plate 162 is a door window 101a. To the door frame 3 (the door frame base 101) so as to close the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 for storing the game balls B for playing a game under the door window 101a on the front of the door frame base 101 The equipped dish unit 200 is attached.

  Then, on the upper surface of the pan unit 200, a circular annular donut-shaped rotation operating portion 302 whose diameter is larger than the distance in the front-rear direction of the upper pan 201, and a cylindrical shape coaxially arranged in the ring of the rotation operating portion 302. The pressing operation unit 303 including the outer periphery pressing operation unit 303 b and the cylindrical center pressing operation unit 303 a is attached, and a semicircular donut shape similar to the rotation operation unit 302 below the rotation operation unit 302. The two large-diameter tray upper center decoration 312a and the plate center lower decoration 312b are attached up and down at two intervals, and continuous with both ends of the plate center upper decoration 312a and the plate center lower decoration 312b The door frame left side decoration 404 of the door frame left side unit 400 of similar shape, the door frame right side decoration 419 of the door frame right side unit 410, and the door frame Door frame top decorative body 453 of Puyunitto 450 is attached to the outside of Tobiramado 101a of the door frame base 101 so as to surround the outer periphery of the gaming region 5a.

  Therefore, in the plate unit 200, three doughnut-shaped members are vertically arranged by the rotary operation unit 302 and the two upper and lower center ornaments 312a and 312b and the rotary operation unit 302 and the outer peripheral pressing Since the operation unit 303b and the center pressing operation unit 303a are arranged concentrically, the visual impact can be enhanced, and the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 can be made conspicuous and the player can operate. It is possible to make the rotary operation unit 302 and the press operation unit 303 appear large, and to attract the player's interest strongly to the rotation operation unit 302 and the press operation unit 303 in the rendering operation unit 300 on the upper surface of the plate unit 200. The decrease can be suppressed.

  In addition, the rotary operation unit 302, the upper center plate decoration 312a and the lower plate center decoration body 312b have a similar cylindrical shape (tube) in a donut shape like a ring, and are provided below the rotary operation unit 302. A semi-cylindrical door frame left side decoration 404, a door frame right side decoration 419, and a door frame top decoration 453 surround the outer periphery of the game area 5a so as to be continuous with the dish center upper decoration 312a. Therefore, it is possible to show the player a decoration such that the outer periphery of the game area 5a is surrounded by a cylindrical tube, and a sense of unity can be given to the decoration on the front of the pachinko machine 1 The appearance can be improved, and the player's interest can be directed to the inner side (the game area 5a and the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303) surrounded by the cylindrical tube. Determined force can be enhanced, it is possible to easily this pachinko machine 1 is selected let increase the expectation as a pachinko machine for a game on the game in the pachinko machine 1.

Repeat the process of S222). Subsequently, in order to determine the setting value, the setting key cylinder is turned counterclockwise 120 degrees (that is, the original position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting switch 1311 a is turned on) In order to return to the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting switch 1311a), it is turned 60 degrees counterclockwise toward the OFF position, and then turned 60 degrees counterclockwise. Setting switch 1311 a is turned on by the second ON operation. The signal of the determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1310Y to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X (the process of step S222 in the setting change process of FIG. 178 is performed). Thereby, the main control MPU 1310a stores the setting value determined by changing the setting in the specific area (setting value dedicated area) of the main control built-in RAM (performs the process of step S224 in the setting change process of FIG. 178). Subsequently, the main control MPU 1310a clears the other areas of the main control built-in RAM except for the specific area (performs the process of step S38 in the main control side power-on process of FIG. 175). Thereby, the main control MPU 1310a writes the value 0 to the other areas of the main control built-in RAM excluding the specific area (game backup information is initialized).

  When the RAM clear switch 1310 f receives the second operation in a period in which the second operation can be received, the setting change process of step S 37 in the main control side power-on process of FIG. The process of step S38 in the main control side power-on process of FIG. 175 is stored and held in another area of the main control built-in RAM other than the specific area without performing control to store and hold the setting value which is information Control can be performed to delete game backup information, which is information.

  Specifically, when performing a second operation that can clear other areas except the specific area of the main control built-in RAM, first, the power switch 630a is operated while the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed. Is operated to power on the pachinko machine 1. Thus, the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310 f is input to the main control MPU 1310 a (performs the process of step S 14 and step S 16 A in the process of turning on the main control power in FIG. 175). That is, the “period in which the second operation can be received” refers to steps S14 and S16A in the main control side power on process of FIG. 175 after the power switch 630a is operated and the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. It is a period of time until the processing of Subsequently, the main control MPU 1310a clears the other areas of the main control built-in RAM except for the specific area (performs the process of step S38 in the main control side power-on process of FIG. 175). Thereby, the main control MPU 1310a writes the value 0 to the other areas of the main control built-in RAM excluding the specific area (game backup information is initialized).

  Thus, the game backup information which is the second information stored and held in the other area except the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is accepted by the setting switch 1311 a and the setting switching button 1311 b or by the RAM clear switch 1310 f Since deletion is possible by receiving the second operation, variations can be given to the method of deleting the game backup information, which is the second information by a clerk such as a salesclerk of the game hall. Therefore, variations can be made to the erasing method.

Background decoration 816 (e.g., first decoration surface 819 with decoration 820a) having uniformity with decoration 820a of first decoration surface 819 (including not only appearance uniformity but also idea uniformity) on the front surface A second decorative surface 822 is formed which is connected to complete one character. In the second decorative surface 822, by arranging the plate pieces 822 p of several blocks at different positions in the back and forth direction, the decoration 816 itself is given a stereoscopic effect of perspective.
The back side decorative member 817 is an upper decorative member 817a, a lower decorative member 817b, a right decorative member 817c, and a left decorative member so as to correspond to four sides of the through hole 1112 for attaching the center member 2500 of the base panel 1110. The second decorative surface 822 of the upper decorative member 817a, the lower decorative member 817b, and the right decorative member 817c is disposed to face the inside of the through hole 1112 while the left decorative member 817d is formed. The second decorative surface 822 is disposed to face the back surface of the base panel 1110 as shown in FIG. 198. As described above, the second decorative surface 822 of the left decorative member 817d is disposed opposite to the back surface of the opaque base panel 1110, and thus, although it does not enter the player's view in the normal state, it is shown in FIG. When viewed obliquely, a part can be recognized. Therefore, it is possible to give the player the feeling that the background decoration 816 is extended to the far back of the base panel 1110, so that the three-dimensional effect can be further enhanced.

In the game area 5a surrounded by the front component 1000 of the base panel 1110, as described above, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the gate section 2003, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, not shown. A wind turbine, an obstacle nail, etc. which change the falling of the game ball are appropriately provided according to the contents of the game, and an out ball opening 1008 for collecting the out ball is provided at the lowest position.
Note that each of these members is formed of a synthetic resin that is almost transparent, so that the background decoration 820a of the first decorative surface 819 is hardly hidden.

[Front component]
The front component member 1000, as shown in FIG. 203, is an outer rail 1001 that divides the game area 5a from the upper side of the center member 2500, and an area that divides the game area 5a from the side of the center member 2500 and the lower part. The game ball having a frame shape having a rail 1002 and being fired from the firing rail 544 passes through the firing passage portion 1012 between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 to the upper portion of the game area 5a or the upper portion of the center member 2500. You will be guided.
The front component member 1000 is entirely formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and the surface is seen through in a state of being installed on the base panel 1110. On the other hand, as described above, the base panel 1110 of the other embodiment 1 has the decoration 820a for background on the entire front surface, so the front component 1000 is hardly noticeable in the camouflaged state with the decoration 820a for background. It looks as if all of the front face of the base panel 1110 is the large game area 5a. Therefore, as compared with the conventional pachinko machine surrounded by the opaque front component, a visual effect is obtained as if the entire game panel 1100 is expanded to the game area 5a.
In addition, in this other embodiment 1, the decoration 820a for the background inside and outside of the game area 5a is unified in design (in addition to the unification on the appearance, it also includes the unifying unifying idea) and the visual expansion of the game area 5a. However, the decoration 820a for the background of the part corresponding to the game area 5a and the front component 1000 may have a different design without uniformity. In such a case, since the decoration of the front component 1000 can be covered with the printing of the first decorative surface 819, there is no need to decorate the front component 1000 itself, and the cost can be reduced accordingly.

  The game panel 1100 according to the present other embodiment 1 is configured as described above, and for the background, the difference in depth between the first decorative surface 819 on the surface of the game panel 1100 and the second decorative surface 822 on the back of the game panel 1100. Since a three-dimensional effect of perspective is generated in the decorations 816 and 20, a novel game machine can be provided.

[Center member]
The center member 2500 is provided with a mounting flange portion 830 having a contour slightly larger than the contour of the through hole 1112 of the base panel 1110 and a protrusion on the back side of the mounting flange portion 830 so as to be loosely fit in the through hole 1112. It has an inner frame portion 831 and an enclosure frame 832 provided on the front side of the mounting flange portion 830 so as to prevent inflow of gaming balls from the game area 5a, and the whole is a transparent synthetic resin. It is formed of
At the peripheral edge of the mounting flange portion 830 of the center member 2500, an inclined tapered portion 833 is formed to be thinner toward the base panel 1110. In this other embodiment 1, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 196, the tapered portion 833 of the portion (for example, the mounting flange portion 830 of the upper half portion of the center member 2500) which can enter at least the player's view in the game The hooking of the mounting flange portion 830 and the base panel 1110 is conventionally set to be shallow so as to hang on the edge of the hole 1112. Thus, the light illuminating the inside of the through hole 1112 changes like a prism through the tapered portion 833 of the mounting flange 830 and leaks to the outside, so the light leaking from the through hole 1112 turns around the center member 2500. Can be easily and effectively decorated.

  In addition, the center member 2500 is a plate having, inside the enclosure frame 832, an effect area 834 facing the drum 854 described later of the effect unit 814 and a decorative surface 835 having a height substantially flush with the game area 5a. Shaped decorative member 836.

[Effective area-light guide plate unit]
In the effect area 834 of the center member 2500, a light guide plate unit 837 is provided to protect and decorate the front surface of the drum unit 855 described later. As shown in FIG. 200, this light guide plate unit 837 has a light guide plate 842 fitted in a frame-like display window 841 including a vertical frame 839 incorporating a light emitting device 838 and a horizontal frame 840. Light is irradiated from the light emitting devices 838 of the horizontal frame 840 to the light guide incident end face of the light guide plate 842 to display a predetermined image.
The light guide plate 842 is fitted in a state where rattle of about several mm (for example, 3 mm) occurs with respect to the display window 841. By doing so, even if thermal expansion of the light guide plate 842 becomes difficult to apply stress, the risk of deformation or breakage of the light guide plate 842 due to thermal stress can be reduced. Further, the light guide plate 842 may be attached in a state in which a part of four sides is fixed with a screw (not shown) or the like and the other side is made movable without restraint for the same purpose.

[Decorative member]
The decorative member 836 of the center member 2500 is a transparent synthetic resin plate protruding from the inside of the surrounding frame 832 of the center member 2500 toward the vertical frame 839 and the horizontal frame 840 of the display window 841 A decorative surface 835 having a height substantially flush with 5a is provided. In this decorative surface 835, as shown in FIG. 201, the decoration 820b for the background provided on the first decorative surface 819 of the base panel 1110 is unified with the decoration 820b. A decoration 843 for the background is drawn, and as shown in FIG. 200, the difference in position and size between the effect area 834 and the through hole 1112 shown by the phantom line in the same figure (marginally Can be filled in a natural way. That is, the background decoration 820 b provided on the first decorative surface 819 bites into the center member 2500 in a natural manner. In addition, although uniformity is intended to be achieved by decoration, the light emitting decorative body may be disposed so as to straddle the outside and the inside of the center member 2500.
Therefore, by adjusting the size of the decoration member 836 according to the size of the effect area 834, it is possible to cope with many types of models with the minimum design change while maintaining the outer shape of the center member 2500.
Note that the decoration 843 drawn on the decoration surface 835 of this other embodiment 1 is drawn with the ink excellent in the light shielding property, and accordingly, the second decoration surface 822 seen through from the non-decorative portion of the transparent decoration member 836. The contrast with the decoration 816 further enhances the three-dimensional effect. In addition, the light blocking property of the decoration 843 has an advantage that light illuminated from the inside of the through hole 1112 can be indirectly lightened as well.
Further, in the other embodiment 1, a decoration decoration lamp 844H is provided on the upper front of the effect support frame 852 described later and above the drum 854 described later, and overlaps with the decoration lamp 844H of the decoration member 836. At the position, a notch 845 for avoiding polymerization is formed. As a result, there is no possibility that the light of the decoration lamp 844H is reflected by the decoration member 836 and it becomes difficult to see, so the definition of the decoration lamp 844H is improved.

[Characters, etc. attached to center member]
As shown in FIG. 193 and FIG. 194, the center member 2500 enters from the game area 5a below the outside of the enclosure 832, a stage shelf 2503 for dropping the game ball into the game area 5a while moving the game ball horizontally. A so-called item consisting of a warp passage 847 for guiding the game ball B to the stage shelf 2503 is integrally provided. As described above, the first starting opening 2002 is disposed immediately below the stage shelf 2503 of the game area 5a, and when the gaming ball falls from the center of the stage shelf 2503, winning can be achieved with high probability.

  In the upper right half of the right outer side of the enclosure frame 832 of the center member 2500, a discharge portion 848 is provided for guiding the game ball, which has jumped over the upper part of itself along the outer rail 1001, to the lower right of the game area 5a. It is done. The release portion 848 has a size substantially equivalent to one game ball, and ridge-shaped obstacle ridges 849 are alternately provided in a substantially equal pitch on the right inner wall and the left inner wall of the passage in a front view. Therefore, the gaming ball having entered the release portion 848 is in contact with the large number of obstacle ridges 849 and meanders, and as if in a state as if it falls while colliding with the obstacle nail in the gaming area 5a, a proper time Then, it is led to the lower right of the game area 5a.

  In addition, a second start-up port 2004 in which the winning opening is opened and closed by the rotation of the open-close piece 850 is provided in the lower right portion on the right outer side of the enclosure frame 832 of the center member 2500. A passage type gate portion 2003 is provided at the middle of the vertical direction 848.

In the through hole 1112 of the second embodiment, it is accommodated in a bayonet notch 1112a. As described above, in the extended portion 830a protruding from the mounting flange portion 830 in a peninsular manner, the gate portion 2003 (same for other winning openings) is installed, and a bayonet cut portion 1112a cut into the through hole 1112 The installation space due to the elimination of the mounting flange portion on the side of the center member 2500 as compared with the case of separately installing the gate portion 2003 and the like having the unique mounting flange portion around in the independent form by installing in Can be made compact, and the area of the veneer board of the base panel 1110 of the portion through which the game balls flow can be increased accordingly. It should be noted that the veneer is characterized in that the nailing is easy to drive and adjust, and it is difficult to remove the nail even after long-term use. Therefore, it is preferable to use the veneer as much as possible for the part where the obstacle nail is provided. The game ball in the discharge part 848 is once led to the area of the synthetic resin plate of the center member 2500, but when the game ball is discharged to the outside of the center member 2500, it is discharged to the area of the plywood provided with the obstacle nails. That's what it means.

[Demonstration Unit]
The effect unit 814 is attached to the rear side of the game panel 1100, and can display, for example, the result of the lottery related to the big hit started by the detection of the game ball by the first start port 2002 as game information. A frame-like effect support frame 852 supporting the display device 851 and a rear cover 853 attached to the rear surface of the effect support frame 852 to cover the rear surface of the display device 851 are provided.

[Display device]
The display device 851 may be either an image display type using the above-described liquid crystal display device or the like, or a production type capable of displaying the game information based on changes such as mechanical rotation / stop of a movable object. The latter production type is used in 1.

[Drum unit]
Each drum unit 855 is, as shown in the exploded perspective view of FIG. 208, a horizontally oriented cylindrical drum 854, a rotational drive device 857 for rotating the drum 854 in the direction of the arrow, and a rotational drive device 857 for the drum And a lighting member 859 for clarifying the game information by illuminating the drum 854 from the inside.

The drum 854 is formed of a thin sheet made of synthetic resin, and a plurality of characters and designs are displayed on the circumferential surface in a predetermined arrangement.
The rotary drive 857 for rotating the drum 854 is provided with a rim-like ring member 860 fixed to one opening edge of the drum 854 and the center of the drum 854 and gradually expanding in diameter toward the ring member 860. In addition, a frustum-cylindrical central member 861 that opens toward the ring member 860 side, a connecting member 862 that radially connects the ring member 860 and the central member 861, and an electric motor directly connected to the central member 861. The center member 861, the connecting member 862, the ring member 860, and the drum 854 are integrally rotated or stopped by rotating or stopping the drive shaft of the electric motor 863.

  The rotary drive device 857 is provided with an air cooling means for cooling air through the inside of the drum 854. That is, the air-cooling means comprises a sirocco fan-shaped intake blade 864 formed on the peripheral wall of the central member 861 and a propeller fan-shaped exhaust blade 865 formed on the connecting member 862. By rotation in the indicated direction, air is sucked from the opening of the central member 861 and discharged into the space between the outside of the central member 861 and the inside of the drum 854 in the manner of a sirocco fan, and the air guided to this space is further propeller fan The connection member 862 is discharged to the outside of the drum 854 from between the connection member 862 and the connection member 862 in the same manner. As a result, a U-turn-like air flow is generated in which the intake and exhaust are reversely directed inside and outside the central member 861 of the drum 854, so that the inside of the drum 854 is efficiently cooled.

A moving drive 858 for moving the drum 854 together with the rotary drive 857 in the vertical direction can slide the support substrate 866 up and down, and the disc-shaped support substrate 866 supporting the electric motor 863 of the drum unit 855 and the illumination member 859.

Therefore, when the drive shaft 868 is rotated by the lift motor 870, the support substrate 866 is raised or lowered along the spiral of the drive shaft 868, thereby raising the drum 854 together with the rotary drive 857 as shown by the solid line in FIG. Or it descends like the figure imaginary line. The drum 854 is normally stopped at a substantially middle position (hereinafter referred to as "reference position") of the movable range, and all the drums 854 may be moved up and down all at once from this state. May be moved up and down. Further, when the drum 854 is at the highest position or the lowest position, as shown in FIG. 210, a part of the drum 854 is dislocated from the display window 841 and disappears, but even in that case, the part displaying the game information is It is arranged in the frame of the display window 841.

  By the way, although the movement drive device 858 of the other embodiment 1 can move the drum 854 only in the vertical direction, for example, the combination of the drive shaft 868, the guide shaft 867, the bearing stand 869 and the support substrate 866 is another one. The set is additionally rotated so that the drive shaft 868 and the guide shaft 867 become horizontal, and it is incorporated between the original support substrate 866 and the electric motor 863, that is, the two added to the original support substrate 866. Even if the bearing stand 869 is fixed side by side, the drive shaft 868 and the guide shaft 867 are laterally extended, and the electric motor 863 is attached to the new support substrate 866 supported by the sideways drive shaft 868 and the guide shaft 867. Good. By doing so, each drum 854 can be freely moved up and down and back and forth, so the variation of the effect by the drum 854 is greatly directed, and the member that gets in the way in the up and down movement is temporarily avoided by the back and forth movement. Will also be possible.

  Further, the display device 851 according to the present other embodiment 1 is provided with linear illuminations 871a to 871d in a front view longitudinal rod shape between the drums 854 of the plurality of drum units 855. The linear illuminations 871a to 871d are light emitters such as cold cathode tubes, and are formed to be curved in an arc shape (bow shape) toward the front surface (player). The degree of bending of the linear lights 871a and 871d located is set more gently than the degree of bending of the linear lights 871b and 871c provided between the drums 854, and further, toward the front of the linear lights 871b and 871c between the drums 854 Are set so as to come closer to the player than the linear lights 871a and 871d located at both ends of the drum 854. Thereby, a curved three-dimensional effect can be given to the front surface of the drum 854 in a state where the linear illuminations 871a to 871d are turned on.

  The display device 851 is attached from the rear side to the game board 5 by the effect support frame 852 described in detail below, and all the drums 854 in the reference position in a front view within the frame of the display window 841 of the center member 2500 Is supposed to fit. That is, the upper and lower width of the display window 841 is larger than the upper and lower width (diameter of the drum 854) of the drum 854, which is a movable object, and thus a portion showing game information on the front of the stopped drum 854 from the display window 841. (In this case, at least one of the upper and lower contours of the drum 854 can be seen by the player. By thus seeing at least one of the upper and lower contours of the drum 854 from the display window 841, it is possible to give the player a feeling as if the drum 854 exists in the air without any support.

Since the display device 851 is configured as described above, when the game ball B is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 as described above, the lottery for determining the hit and release on the main control board 1310X The result of the lottery is a combination of the symbols of the drum 854 stopped within the frame of the display window 841 after the rendering operation of a fixed time by mechanical change combining the rotation of the drum 854 and the vertical movement appropriately. Is displayed. And, if the lottery result is a big hit, a benefit is given that a large number of winnings to the big winning opening 2005 becomes easy within the range of predetermined conditions. Of course, the rendering operation of the display device 851 may be anything.
In addition, in this other mode 1, it is better to hit the right at the timing when the large winning in the large winning opening 2005 becomes possible (preferably before the large winning opening 2005 opens), that is, how to hit the game ball strongly Indicate that the level should be struck on the right side of the game area 5a (for example, the display panel 2005p shown in phantom in FIG. 190 is switched from OFF to ON and a character such as "Please strike right" is displayed.

And three grooves 181c (see FIG. 54) which extend in the axial direction and are formed at irregular intervals in the circumferential direction. The outer diameter of the base portion 181 a of the handle base 181 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 102 a of the handle attachment member 102. Further, the three grooves 181 c are formed at positions corresponding to the three ridges 102 c of the cylindrical portion 102 a of the handle attachment member 102. Therefore, the base portion 181a can be inserted into the cylindrical portion 102a of the handle mounting member 102 in a state in which the three groove portions 181c coincide with the three ridges 102c, and the ridges 102c are respectively inserted in the three groove portions 181c. By being inserted, the handle base 181 can not be rotated relative to the handle attachment member 102.
In addition, a collar-shaped screen member 196 colored in a white-based color is provided around the base portion 181a of the handle base 181 in a state of being fixed to the handle attachment portion 102. The light of the full color LED emitted toward the screen member 196 from the end of the frame right side unit 410 can be reflected almost as it is.

[handle]
The handle 182 is based on a disk having a diameter and a thickness suitable for the player to hold with one hand, and protrudes from the outer peripheral surface to a height equal to or greater than the height at which one finger can pass. Positions substantially point-symmetrical with respect to the rotation center (shaft member 187), that is, four finger hook portions 182g to 182j projecting at equal intervals (90 degrees), and a circle centered on the rotation axis (shaft member 187) Two slits 182e extending in an arc shape and penetrating in the front-rear direction, and an engagement that protrudes rearward from a position on the inner side with respect to the rotation center than the slit 182e and the other end side of the handle return spring 190 is locked And a stop projection 182f (see FIG. 54).

  Further, on the outside of the handle 182, a decorative handle 1820 which is an annular decorative member concentric with the handle 182 is integrally provided via the finger hook portions 182g to 182j. The decorative handle 1820 has a front surface covered with a translucent decorative cover 1821 and an outer peripheral surface covered with a conductive touch cover 1822 serving as a sensing portion of the handle touch sensor 192, and is disposed inside a hollow. By the plurality of light emitting LEDs 1823 and the light emitting LEDs 182L provided in a point shape in front of the finger hook portions 182g to 182j, appropriate full-color effect by light can be performed.

In addition, as an example of the effect of the light by the light emitting LED 182L of the decorative handle 1820, it should be seen that the decorative handle 1820 is visually right-turned by changing the light emission mode of the plurality of light emitting LEDs 182L. It is indicated that the timing is indicated, that is, it is used as the above-mentioned strike instruction means. In addition, it is more dynamic to produce clockwise light flow in the entire door frame 3, preferably using the full-color LEDs of the door frame left side unit 400, the door frame top unit 450, and the door frame right side unit 410 of the door frame 3. Can be instructed to hit the right. For example, full-color LEDs of the door frame left side unit 400, the door frame top unit 450, and the door frame right side unit 410 of the door frame 3 are "lower left → left → upper left → upper left → upper middle → upper middle → upper right → upper right → upper middle → The light is emitted in the order of “lower right” to direct the light to flow clockwise (clockwise), and the light emitting LED 1823 of the decorative handle 1820 emits light clockwise in a form that inherits the flow of light. In particular, when light is emitted from the light emitting LED 1823 closest to the full color LED positioned at the lowermost part of the door frame right side unit 410, a more interlocked (integrated) effect can be obtained. In this case, the user is instructed to hit in the two lighting modes of the door frame 3 and the decoration handle 1820. Therefore, the player is hit without trouble even if a failure occurs in any one of the LEDs. Can be directed.
As described above, as an example of the light effect, the one indicating that it is time to hit the right is shown, but it is needless to say that the invention is not limited to this and can be performed to effects other than the above. . For example, in the case of giving a left-handed instruction from the right-handed state, a series of effects opposite to the light effects in the case of right-handed (for example, decorative LED 1823 on the side of decorative handle 1820 in a counterclockwise direction) After turning the door frame left side unit 400, door frame top unit 450, door frame right side unit 410 full color LED right bottom → right middle → top right → top right → top middle → top left → top left → middle left → It does not perform the effect to light up in the order of lower left, or it is not the instruction of how to hit, for example, when the effect with high expectation to the hit is executed, the effect linked to it is executed, the expectation to the hit To perform the rendering linked to it before the high rendering is performed, and so on. In addition, the interlocking referred to here is, for example, the effect that light flows from the upper side to the lower side of the pachinko machine 1 (full-color LED of the door frame top unit 450) The upper left and the upper right are emitted, then the door frame left side unit 400 and the door frame right side unit 410 are emitted from the top to the bottom and finally the light emitting LED 1823 of the decorative handle 1820 To emit light).
In addition, the light emission timing in the case of using the light emitting LED 182L of the decoration handle 1820 as the strike direction instruction means is, for example, the same as lighting of the display panel 2005p which is another strike direction instruction means, or in the effect display device 1600 (liquid crystal display device). It may be the same as or displayed before or after the right-handed instruction to be displayed, but it is better to do it at least before the large-scale winning of the big winning opening 2005 is possible (before the opening of the big winning opening 2005) , Preferred to protect the interests of the player.

  Moreover, changing a lighting pattern according to the emission intensity of the ball | bowl emitting device 540 is mentioned as an example of the presentation of the light of light emission LED182L provided in front of finger application part 182g-182j in point shape. For example, it is blue if the emission intensity is "weak" and green if the emission intensity is "medium". The general pachinko machine 1 has an advantageous gaming state in which the right-handed state in which the launch intensity is "strong" is a big hit or in the middle of a definite change, so when the launch intensity is "strong", it stimulates excitement psychologically. It is good to light up in red that is considered to work.

In the four finger hooks 182g to 182j, when the handle 182 is in the initial rotation position, the two finger hooks 182g and 182i are both horizontal, and the remaining two finger hooks 182h and 182j are both vertical. The right thumb is naturally engaged below the finger rest 182g located on the left side of the center of rotation when the player holds the handle 182 in a normal grip style. It has become. Therefore, in the other embodiment 1, the finger hook portion 182g is a finger hook portion for normal operation. In the normal grip style, the fingers other than the thumb cover the handle 182 in a state of sandwiching the upper finger hook portion 182h.
On the other hand, although the finger hook portion 182j provided on the circumferential surface below the rotation center of the handle 182 hardly touches any finger in the above-described normal grip style, for example, the handle 182 holding the hand If the finger such as the forefinger is hooked on the finger hook portion 182j by releasing the finger from the finger, the handle 182 can be rotated clockwise in a front view by the irregular operation of moving the finger to the left. In this other embodiment 1, the strike instruction means (display panel 2005p) for instructing that the player should strike the right as described above is provided, and the strike instruction means should strike on the right side of the game area. While the finger hook portion 182j of the handle 182 has a force in the opposite direction to the command (force in the left direction in front view).
In addition, the finger may be put on the finger rests 182h and 182i other than the finger rests 182g and 182j, and the handle 182 may be rotated by a pulling force upward or downward.

[Cover base]
The cover pedestal 183 is formed in a disk shape, and includes a plurality of mounting bosses 183 a that project rearward from the rear surface. The mounting boss 183 a is attached to the front surface of the handle base 181 by penetrating the slit 182 e of the handle 182 from the front. Since the mounting boss 183a of the handle cap 185 penetrates the slit 182e of the handle 182, the mounting boss 183a abuts on the circumferential end of the slit 182e, and the rotation angle of the handle 182 is restricted. In this example, the handle 182 can be rotated within an angle of rotation of about 120 degrees from the initial stop position.

[Handle cap]
The front face of the handle cap 185 bulges forwardly, and the central portion has translucency. Inside the handle cap 185, a lens member which is three-dimensionally formed of a transparent member is provided. The handle cap 185 can effect light by appropriately emitting the LED 184 L on the front surface of the handle decoration substrate 184.

[Handle rotation detection sensor]
The handle rotation detection sensor 189 of the handle unit 180 is a variable resistor, and when the handle 182 is rotated clockwise in a front view, the detection shaft 189 a of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 via the shaft member 187 and the transmission gear 188. Will rotate. The internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 189a, and the driving force of the emission solenoid 542 in the ball emission device 540 changes according to the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189, The game ball B is driven into the game area 5a with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 182. In the present other embodiment 1, when the handle 182 is rotated clockwise as viewed from the front, the launch force of the gaming ball is set to be strong.

[Handle touch sensor]
The handle touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting on the handle unit 180, and the player contacts either the handle 182 or the finger grips 182g to 182j or the touch cover 1822 of the decoration handle 1820 to play a game. Static electricity from the player is detected, and contact of the player with the handle 182 or the like is detected. Then, when the handle touch sensor 192 detects the player's touch, when the handle 182 is turned, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the rotation angle of the handle 182 adjusted (input) by the player The driving of the firing solenoid 542 is controlled with the strength according to the above, and the game ball B can be hit. That is, even if the player tries to hit the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 182 in some way without touching the handle 182, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the player's contact. Thus, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B can not be hit. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from playing the game by rotating the handle 182 in a method different from the original method, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) associated with the gaming hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. .

  Also, when the player presses the one-shot button 193 while the player is rotating the handle 182, the one-shot button manipulation sensor 194 detects the operation of the one-shot button 193, and the firing control portion 633b of the payout control board 633 Driving of the firing solenoid 542 is to be stopped. Thus, the firing of the game ball B can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotation operation of the handle 182, and by releasing the pressing operation of the one-shot button 193, the operation before the one-shot button 193 is performed. The game ball B can be re-injected into the game area 5a by the driving strength.

[Handle attachment member]
The handle unit 180 is attached to the handle attachment seat surface 101 b of the door frame base 101 via the handle attachment member 102. The handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101 is inclined so that the right end is positioned more rearward than the left end in plan view and faces the outside (the open side). The handle unit 180 to be attached via is also inclined outward in plan view (in other words, its tip is inclined to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line perpendicular to the front of the pachinko machine 1). It is attached and fixed to the door frame 3. As a result, the handle 182 of the handle unit 180 can be easily grasped, and the player can perform the rotation operation without feeling discomfort.

[Hand cover]
A substantially cylindrical hand cover portion 195 surrounding the outer periphery of the player's hand operating the handle 182 is attached to the front surface of the door frame 3 so as to surround the outside of the handle attachment portion 102, as shown in FIG. The front opening 195 h is substantially aligned with the rear surface of the decorative handle 1820, as shown in FIG. The hand cover portion 195 and the decorative handle 1820 have a joint portion by a slidable fitting between a joint ring 1824 projecting on the rear surface of the decorative handle 1820 and an annular slit 195 a opened on the front surface of the hand cover portion 195. It is connected seamlessly.
The hand cover portion 195 can also be provided for the handle 182 not provided with the decorative handle 1820. In this case, the front opening 195h of the hand cover portion 195 is located approximately to the outer peripheral position of the handle 182. The front opening 195 h may be extended and provided with the same decorative means as the decorative handle 1820.

The hand cover portion 195 of the present embodiment 1 is provided with a window opening 195w leading to the outside to a part of the body portion, and the window opening 195w causes moisture or smoke in the hand cover portion 195 or smoke or intention or It prevents the stagnation of the beverage and the like that has flowed in due to negligence, and also prevents fraud by improving the visibility of the inside.
In order to facilitate cleaning of the inside of the hand cover portion 195 and wiping of the inflowing beverage, as shown in FIG. 215, the handle 182 may be detachable. Specifically, engagement / disengagement means 197 formed of a combination of, for example, a claw piece 197a and an elastically deformable reception piece 197b is formed on each of the base portion 181a of the handle base 181 and the screen member 196 fixed to the handle mounting portion 102 side. The handle attachment portion together with the handle base 181 as shown in FIG. 215 is provided by engaging and disengaging the engagement / disengagement means 197 (see solid line in enlarged view in FIG. 215) / disengagement (see phantom line in enlarged view in FIG. 215). It may be removable from the 102 side. By doing this, the handle 182 can be removed from the handle attachment portion 102 and the front opening 195 h of the hand cover portion 195 can be fully opened, thereby facilitating cleaning of the inside, wiping off of spilled beverage, and the like. In addition, preferably, if the release operation of the engagement / disengagement means 197 is performed by a dedicated release member (for example, insertion of a thumbtack-type pin) not shown, there is no fear that the handle 182 will be pulled out by mischief or the like.

As described above, by providing the hand cover portion 195 on the outside of the handle 182, it seems that the player's hand (finger) operating the handle 182 has entered the hand cover portion 195, that is, the pachinko machine 1. This makes it possible to make the player feel more strongly that the pachinko machine 1 is being operated.
In addition, when the air blowing means (not shown) is connected to the hand cover portion 195 and the air is blown, most of the wind escapes from the front opening 195 h of the hand cover portion 195 to the outside, so that the wind is surely applied to the player's hand. Can. Therefore, for example, when the expectation for the big hit is high, or when the expectation for the advantageous hit (perhaps a probability change or a large number of balls) is high, the wind is sent at a predetermined effect (for example, an air cannon). If it is controlled to a good gaming state (for example, during a definite change, during a short time, during a latent confirmation), the wind may be sent at a regular timing such as every 5 seconds, or a predetermined drawing may be made before the drawing. An effect such as sending a wind when winning will be effective. Of course you may always make the wind go.
Although not shown, a speaker (preferably a vibration speaker) for gaming may be provided inside the hand cover portion 195. In such a case, the sound of the speaker comes off from the front opening 195h of the hand cover portion 195, so that the player's hand can effectively feel the vibration of the sound.

The above other embodiment 1 includes the following technical ideas.
[Technical thought 5]
A ball launcher for hitting a game ball into the game area of the game board,
And a handle for adjusting the launch force of the ball launcher by manual rotation.
The handle is
A normal operating finger hook which is provided on the left side of the self rotation center and which can be engaged with the thumb of the hand operating in the normal grip style;
And an irregularly operable finger hook which is provided on the peripheral surface below the rotation center of the handle separately from the finger hook and which can be engaged with at least one finger of the player's hand. A game machine characterized by
In this game machine,
It has a strike instruction means for instructing the player to strike the game ball according to the game situation,
On the other hand, the steering wheel is set so that the launch force becomes stronger by rotation clockwise in a front view,
When it is instructed that the strike instruction means should strike on the right side of the game area, it is possible to respond by an operation of applying a force in the left direction in front view to the finger hook part for the irregular operation of the handle You may

  As mentioned above, although the other form of the pachinko machine was demonstrated, of course, it is also possible to change the said other form suitably. For example, although a pachinko machine has been illustrated as a game machine in the above embodiment, the invention is also applicable to other game machines such as ball ball machines, arrange ball machines, etc. The present invention is also applicable to slot machines that rotate reels.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the electric motor 863 of the rotary drive 857 and the elevation motor 870 of the movement drive 858 are directed in different directions, specifically, the output axis of the electric motor 863 is the same as the rotation axis of the drum 854 While the lift motor 870 is in the other direction such that its output shaft is in the same vertical direction as the drive shaft 868 of the drum unit 855, but the direction of the electric motor 863 and the lift motor 870 Can be the same. However, when the electric motor 863 and the lift motor 870 are set in different directions as in the above embodiment, identification and correspondence of a motor which causes a trouble in either the rotation operation or the lift operation of the drum 854 Is superior in that it can be done quickly.

Moreover, although the opaque base panel 1110 was demonstrated to the example in the said form, it is good also as a transparent synthetic resin base panel 1110. FIG.
Moreover, in the said form, although decoration 816, 820a, 820b, 843 for backgrounds was made into patterns, such as printing, it may be decoration by the light-emitting body by LED etc.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the handle cap 185 is fixed to the handle base 181 and the handle 182 is formed to rotate between the two, but the handle cap 185 is fixed to the handle 182 and rotates integrally with the handle 182. You may get it.

  In the above embodiment, the handle 182, the decorative handle 1820, and the hand cover portion 195 are combined, but even if the decorative handle 1820 is provided on the outside of the handle 182, the rendering effect of making the handle 182 large and noticeable You can enjoy it.

[Other pachinko machine]
Next, another pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. The other pachinko machine 1 is mainly the one in which the number, arrangement, and structure of the handle units 180 are changed with respect to the pachinko machine 1 shown in FIGS. I omit explanation.

  The pachinko machine 1 is, as shown in FIG. 216, a handle unit 180 which is an input medium for gaming on both sides of the forward bulging structure configured of the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200, the rendering operation unit 300 and the like. I have two. In FIG. 216, the right handle unit (hereinafter also referred to as “right handle unit”) 180 (R) is for adjusting the striking strength of the ball launcher 540 as described above. On the other hand, the left handle unit (hereinafter, also referred to as “left handle unit”) 180 (L) is used as an input means for the player participation type effect player described above.

  Each of the handle units 180 (L) and (R) is provided with the operating portion including the handle 182, the decorative handle 1820, and the finger rests 182g to 182j as described above, and the finger is interposed between the handle 182 and the decorative handle 1820 It is what makes it rotate (operation).

  In each handle unit 180 (L), (R), the outer diameter of the decorative handle 1820 around the handle 182 is smaller than the inner diameter of the front opening 195 h of the hand cover portion 195, and the base 181a of the handle base 181 is It is slidably supported by the cylindrical portion 102 a of the handle attachment member 102, so that the entire unit can move linearly in the front-rear direction in the hand cover portion 195. Further, each handle unit 180 (L), (R) is directed toward the player by a spring 4001 of the handle position control means 4000 described later loaded in a compressed state in the cylindrical portion 102a of the handle attachment member 102. It is always energized.

[Right handle unit]
The right handle unit 180 (R) is to adjust the striking force of the ball emitting device 540 by turning the handle 182 as described above, and in the normal state, the decorative handle 1820 has a hand cover portion 195 as shown in FIG. The front opening 195 h is substantially flush with the front opening 195 h (hereinafter referred to as “front position”), and is locked (fixed) by the handle position control means 4000 at this front position.

[Handle position control means of right handle unit]
The handle position control means (hereinafter also referred to as “right handle position control means”) 4000 of the right handle unit 180 (R) has a pivotable lock arm 4004 having a roller 4003 at its tip, and the lock arm 4004 It consists of a solenoid 4005 which is changed to a horizontal lock posture (see solid line in FIG. 221) and a release posture (see phantom line in FIG. 221) in which the roller 4003 side is flipped up.
When the lock arm 4004 is in the horizontal lock position, it lays like a rod between the handle base 181 of the right handle unit 180 (R) and the handle attachment member 102 and lays the right handle unit 180 (R) When locked in the forward position and pulling up the plunger 4006 of the solenoid 4005 from this state to swing the lock arm 4004 to the release position, the roller 4003 is detached from the handle base 181 (the support of the lock arm 4004 is released) The lock of the right handle unit 180 (R) is released, and as shown in FIG. 222, the right handle unit 180 (R) can be linearly moved to the back of the hand cover portion 195 (hereinafter referred to as “rear position”).
The lock arm 4004 is biased by, for example, a torsion coil spring (not shown) from the release attitude to the lock attitude, and accordingly the right handle unit 180 (R) is forwardly moved with the solenoid 4005 turned off. When it returns to the position, it automatically returns to the locked posture.

  The right handle unit 180 (R) may be used as an input unit that appropriately detects the operation of moving the entire unit from the locked state by a sensor and emits an input signal to the player participation type effect (that is, one right In the handle unit 180, an input for hitting the ball launcher 540 and an input for player participation type effect can be made.) In the embodiment, the hitting force of the ball launcher 540 is adjusted by an operation to move the whole unit from the stop state. Use as a second input means.

  Specifically, when the right handle unit 180 (R) is pushed in a state where the lock of the right handle position control means 4000 is released, the striking force of the ball launcher 540 is proportional to the linear movement displacement of the handle. In the form of taking over the previous batting force by the rotation of 182 (in order to eliminate the problem that the batting force temporarily decreases at the point where the operation subject switches), it becomes stronger, and if it is pushed as it is to the rear position It changes to a level and becomes the right strike (see paragraph [1776]), and returns the right handle unit 180 (R) from the rear position to the forward position (relaxing the pressing force on the right handle unit 180 (R) For example, and return to the batting force based on the rotation angle of the handle 182 (usually the batting force at the time of the previous game). There.

  Alternatively, when the right handle unit 180 (R) is pushed in, the control signal of the striking force is sent so that the striking force of the ball launcher 540 becomes a strong level immediately, and the rotation angle of the steering wheel 182 immediately before Change from a striking force based on to a strong level, or when the right handle unit 180 (R) is returned to the forward position, the striking force by the rotation of the steering wheel 182 (usually the striking force just before) is also Good.

  In summary, the right handle unit 180 (R) includes two movable elements which can be displaced in different plane directions, and in the state in which the impact adjustment of the ball launcher 540 is executed by the displacement of one movable element. And adjust the striking force adjustment of the ball launcher 540 by the displacement of the movable element, and return the striking force adjustment by the one movable element when the adjustment of the striking force by the other movable element is completed. There are two movable elements, for example, the rotatably supported handle 182 and the entire handle unit 180 movably supported in a different plane direction, and the ball launcher 540 is rotated by the rotational displacement of the handle 182. Control of the ball launcher 540 by the displacement of the entire handle unit 180 while performing the adjustment of the striking force of When finishing the adjustment of the batting force by the movement displacement of the whole knit 182, it is made to return to the batting force adjustment by the handle 182. As a result, the normal game is performed with the batting force adjustment by one movable element. It is possible to perform a strong striking force required when changing to a special gaming state in a so-called interruption state by the displacement of another movable element, while, when a special gaming state is ended, a batting by the other movable element It is possible to return to the normal gaming state simply and accurately simply by ending the power adjustment.

  The right handle unit 180 (R) is configured as described above, and during normal gaming, as shown in FIG. 221, it is at the front position of the hand cover portion 195, and the right handle position control means 4000 at its front position. It is locked. Therefore, as with the pachinko machine 1 of FIGS. 190 to 215, the handle 182 can be rotated together with the decorative handle 1820 to adjust the striking force of the ball launcher 540.

  On the other hand, when the pachinko machine 1 changes to, for example, a special gaming state due to the progress of the game, the solenoid 4005 of the right handle position control means 4000 is turned on and the lock arm 4004 changes to a release attitude to lift the roller 4003. , The lock of the right handle unit 180 (R) is released. Then, from the above-mentioned strike instruction means of the pachinko machine 1 toward the player, characters such as "Please push the right handle into the back." Are displayed or voices are emitted, and the entire right handle unit 180 (R) is displayed. An instruction is given to prompt for input by moving the When the player receives this and pushes the entire unit as it is against the bias of the spring 4001 to the rear position without changing the grip of the handle 182 in operation, the operation is detected and the hit force is The striking force changes to a strong level continuously as new striking force is added. As a result, when the player is right-handed, the benefit of the special game is provided more to the player.

  Then, when the special game state is finished, simultaneously with that, the solenoid 4005 of the right handle position control means 4000 is turned off by the control of the main control unit 1300, and the player gives "right handle "Please return to the front." An instruction is given by a letter display or voice. When the player releases the force pressing the right handle unit 180 (R) according to the instruction, the right handle unit 180 (R) returns to the forward position by the bias of the spring 4001. Then, the lock arm 4004 changes to a horizontal lock posture by the urging of a torsion coil spring (not shown), and lays like a rod between the handle base 181 of the right handle unit 180 (R) and the handle attachment member 102 to make a right handle Lock unit 180 (R) in the forward position.

  Thereby, the pachinko machine 1 returns to the normal gaming state, but at this time the grip condition (rotation angle) of the handle 182 of the right handle unit 180 (R) is maintained by the player in the state just before the special game start. Therefore, the normal game is resumed with the batting force immediately before changing to the special game state. By the way, in order to adjust the striking force with the operation of one steering wheel, the conventional handle unit needs to search for the optimal striking force again when returning from the right-handed state to the normal gaming state, and the gaming ball is struck in the meantime There is a risk of waste.

[Left handle unit]
The left handle unit 180 (L) is used as an input means for the player of the player participation type effect as described above. The left handle unit 180 (L) is substantially symmetrical with respect to the right handle unit 180 (R) with respect to the vertical axis passing through the approximate center of the door frame 3, but the corresponding handle position The control means 4000 is unique by the cam mechanism.

[Handle position control means (left)]
The handle position control means (hereinafter also referred to as “left handle position control means”) 4000 of the left handle unit 180 (L) is a cam mechanism as described above, and is provided on the base 181 a of the handle base 181 A rotatable follower roller 4007, a long hole 4008 opened in the cylindrical portion 102a of the handle mounting member 102 for passing the follower roller 4007, and a cylindrical cam rotatably fitted on the outside of the cylindrical portion 102a It is roughly comprised from 4009, the cam part 4010 provided in this cylindrical cam 4009, and the motor (not shown) which transmits rotational force to the gear 4011 provided in the edge part of the cylindrical cam 4009.

The cam portion 4010 has a first cam surface 4012 formed in parallel to the end face (rear end face) on the opposite side of the gear 4011 of the cylindrical cam 4009 and an end face (front end face) on the gear 4011 side. It comprises a second cam surface 4013 formed in parallel with the end face at an offset position, and an inclined third cam surface 4014 connecting the second cam surface 4013 and the first cam surface 4012.
As described above, the left handle unit 180 (L) is slidably supported by the cylindrical portion 102a of the handle attachment member 102 and always urged toward the player by the spring 4001 loaded in the cylindrical portion 102a. However, the position is controlled by the engagement of the follower roller 4007 and the cam portion 4010 provided on the left handle unit 180 (L).

That is, the left handle unit 180 (L) is at the rear position with the follower roller 4007 abutting on the first cam surface 4012 of the cam portion 4010 as shown in FIG. 224, and as shown in FIG. The left handle unit 180 (R) is in the forward position with the roller 4007 abutting on the second cam surface 4013 of the cam portion 4010.
Therefore, when the cylindrical cam 4009 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 216 with the left handle unit 180 (L) in the rear position as shown in FIG. 224, the follower roller 4007 is moved from the first cam surface 4012 to the third. Through the inclination of the cam surface 4014, the second cam surface 4013 is reached, and the left handle unit 180 (L) moves integrally with the follower roller 4007 to the forward position as shown in FIG. In addition, since the cam portion 4010 is a space where the rear is opened, and the rear movement of the follower roller 4007 can be freely performed, it is possible to spring the left handle unit 180 (L) in the front position. When pushed against the bias of 4001, it sinks to the rear position in the hand cover portion 195, and when the force is released, it returns to the forward position by the bias of the spring 4001. Therefore, the left handle unit 180 (L) in the forward position can freely move linearly in the forward and backward direction by the player's force adjustment.
When the cylindrical cam 4009 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 216 and returned to the original state with the left handle unit 180 (L) in the forward position, the follower roller 4007 moves from the second cam surface 4013 to the third surface. The cam surface 4014 is returned to the first cam surface 4012, and in this state, the left handle unit 180 (L) returns to the rear position as shown in FIG.

  The left handle unit 180 (L) is configured as described above, and is in the rear position in the hand cover portion 195 as shown in FIG. 224 during normal gaming. The left handle unit 180 (L) in the rear position is hidden from the forward bulging structure configured by the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200, the rendering operation unit 300, and the like, and is less noticeable from the player. In addition, since it is surrounded by the hand cover portion 195 and can be suppressed to the minimum, it is difficult to receive an external impact leading to breakage, and further, the risk of injury due to contact is reduced. By the way, at present, a large lever etc. is used as a player's input means for player participation type effects, but if it always protrudes in a position close to the hand or knee of the player, it receives an impact that leads to breakage. In addition, there is a risk that the player may get in touch and get injured.

Then, at a scene where player participation type effects are executed from the progress of the game and the player's input is required, the cylindrical cam 4009 of the left handle position control means 4000 is first rotated under the control of the main control unit 1300, By the rotation of the cam portion 4010 and the urging of the spring 4001, the left handle unit 180 (L) is linearly moved toward the player along with the follower roller 4007 and stopped at the forward position. In this state, the player looks as if the left handle unit 180 (L) appeared, so the handle 182 of the left handle unit 180 (L) from the side of the pachinko machine 1 at the timing at which the player's attention is drawn. Or the pushing operation of the left handle unit 180 (L) is obtained by display, sound or the like. When the player rotates the handle 182 of the left handle unit 180 (L) or presses the left handle unit 180 (L) in response to this, the operation is detected and the effect shifts to the next scene After that, the presentation proceeds further and ends as appropriate.
In the handle unit 180 according to the embodiment, since the periphery of the griped hand is surrounded by the decorative handle 1820, there is no possibility that the finger may come in contact with the hand cover portion 195 even if the rotation or push operation is performed. There is less risk of injury. Thus, the decorative handle 1820, which can be enclosed around the griped hand and rotated or moved together with the hand, can also be substantially referred to as an "outer ring" that can protect the operating finger.

  Next, when the above effect is finished, the cylindrical cam 4009 of the left handle position control means 4000 is reversely rotated, and the cam portion 4010 in contact with the follower roller 4007 passes from the second cam surface 4013 through the third cam surface 4014 It changes to one cam surface 4012. During that time, the follower roller 4007 is pushed backward along the inclination of the third cam surface 4014, so the left handle unit 180 (L) retreats from the forward position against the bias of the spring 4001, and the follower roller When the point 4007 abuts on the first cam surface 4012, the rear position is reached. The cylindrical cam 4009 of the left handle position control means 4000 stops here, and the left handle unit 180 (L) stands by at the rear position until the next effect is performed.

Note that, as is clear from the above description, the left handle unit 180 (L) can perform operation presentation and input substantially equivalent to the presentation operation unit 301.
Therefore, for example, if the left handle unit 180 (L) and the effect operation unit 301 are moved by the same control and the input from both sensors is received, both the left handle unit 180 (L) and the effect operation unit 301 can be used. .
In that case, for example, a player who thinks that the operation to operate the rendering operation unit 301 is large and embarrassing can operate in the minimum movement that is hard to be realized by putting a hand on the left handle unit 180 (L) in advance. Therefore, since the player participation type effect can be added easily, the interest is increased.
In addition, whether the operation unit used in the player participation type effect is the left handle unit 180 (L) or the effect operation unit 301, for example, by providing a selection switch on a part of the forward bulging structure in advance The player may be able to choose.

  As mentioned above, although the other pachinko machine was demonstrated, of course, a pachinko machine is not limited to the above. For example, a handle unit having the same structure as the right handle unit 180 (R) of the embodiment is installed at the installation location of the left handle unit 180 (L), and it can be used as an input means for the player participation type effect player Well, conversely, install the handle unit of the same structure as the left handle unit 180 (L) of the embodiment in the installation place of the right handle unit 180 (R) and adjust the striking force of the ball launcher 540 It may be used as an input means.

Further, although two handle units 180 are provided in the above, one handle unit 180 may be provided.
Further, although the handle unit 180 is provided with the handle 182 in the above, the game input may be performed only by the linear movement operation of the handle unit 180 without providing the handle 182.

  Further, although a pachinko machine has been exemplified as a game machine in the above, the invention is also applicable to other game machines such as ball ball machines and arrange ball machines, and further, a plurality of drums (roll drum or reel using game medals) It is applicable also to the slot machine which rotates). When applied to a slot machine, one or two handle units 180 may be used as input means for player participation type effects.

[Other Embodiment 2-1]
Next, another embodiment 2-1 of the pachinko machine 1 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS.
In the pachinko machine 1 of the other embodiment 2-1, the door frame top unit 450 provided on the door frame 3 may be provided, for example, on the upper part of the game board 5 instead of the door frame 3 (details will be described) Since the front top unit 4500 is used because it is described later), the other configuration is the same as that described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.
Further, the configuration of the front top unit 4500 is a modification of that of the above-described door frame top unit 450 as appropriate, and therefore the configuration of the door frame top unit 450 except for those described below as the front top unit 4500. Is true.

  The pachinko machine 1 of the other embodiment 2-1 is the same as the window portion (in the above-described pachinko machine 1, the door window 101 a blocked by the glass plate 162) covering the gaming area 5 a to play a game in a visible state from the front. A hook-shaped front top unit 4500 corresponding to the above-described door frame top unit 450 (see FIGS. 88 to 90) is provided on the upper side of the window portion 1010a.

The front top unit 4500 has, for example, a top formed by integrally forming a top upper cover 452 and a top lower cover 465 in FIG. 89 with a translucent and preferably opaque synthetic resin (for example, a milky white synthetic resin). A main body cover 4520 is provided, and the central speaker box 461 of the door frame top unit 450 and the door frame top bottom plate 454 are eliminated to form a space 4520 S inside.
Further, the top main body cover 4520 is formed on the upper surface thereof with an upward opening 452a communicating with the space 4520S and largely notched from the rear end toward the front, and the opening 452a is aligned with this It is closed by a front top plate 4680 which is an open / close lid of a shape.

The front top plate 4680 is pivotally attached to the top main body cover 4520 by a rotation shaft 4680c provided on the rear end side, and is free in a closed posture (see broken line in FIG. 231) closing the opening 452a. It is pivotable to an upright posture (see FIG. 228), which flips up the end side to open the opening 452a and stand in a visible state from the outside, and further controls a driving means such as a motor (not shown) and the like. By linking with the peripheral control board 1510, it is possible to appropriately switch between the closed attitude and the standing attitude according to the progress of the game or at a predetermined timing determined separately from the progress of the game.
Further, the front top plate 4680 is appropriately decorated (not shown) on the outer surface 4680a facing outward in the closed position, while the inner surface 4680b facing the space 4520S in the closed position is for light reflection performance. It is processed into an excellent screen shape.

  The front top plate 4680 is divided into two at the center of the front top plate 4680 in the left and right as well as in the case of a single panel structure as shown in FIGS. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 232, a plurality of elements may be connected by a hinge 4680p to form a foldable structure. By using the latter folded structure, the front top plate 4680 can be expanded in a standing posture, and light decoration can be effectively performed for a higher height and for the player. In addition, if the first stage of the folding structure is gated or made transparent so as not to block the rear view, the data display of the island facility (a game provided on the curtain plate above the pachinko machine 1) It is possible not to disturb the operation of the display device showing the progress of the game (the number of occurrences of the big hit game, etc.).

Furthermore, the front top unit 4500 is provided with a lighting base 8000 at the player-side inner edge of the space 4520S, and a bar-like light emitting means 8002 in which a plurality of light emitting LEDs 8001 are arranged side by side in a row It is freely shaft-mounted.
This light emitting means 8002 is also connected to the peripheral control board 1510 as with the front top plate 4680, so that the light irradiation direction and the light emission pattern can be switched appropriately as the game progresses. Specifically, when the front top plate 4680 is in the standing posture, the light emitting means 8002 is directed upward so that light can be emitted to the inner surface 4680 b facing the player, while the closed posture of the front top plate 4680 To the lower side, that is, the bottom of the top main body cover 4520 so as to be able to irradiate light.
In addition, in the other embodiment 2-1, the bottom of the top main body cover 4520 is formed of a translucent and opaque synthetic resin, so that only the light effect by the light emitting means 8002 can be seen by the player. In addition, since the light emitting means 8002 for irradiating the front top plate 4680 with light can be used to produce the light, extra cost is hardly incurred.
The light emitting means 8002 may be an image projection type in which a character or the like is projected on the inner surface 4680b of the front top plate 4680 other than an illumination type in which colored light is irradiated to the inner surface 4680b of the front top plate 4680.

[Other embodiment 2-2]
In the pachinko machine 1 of the other embodiment 2-2, as shown in FIG. 233, the front end side of the front top plate 4680 is pivotally pivotally attached to the top main body cover 4520, and the light emitting means 8002 is the top main body cover 4520. It is provided at the inner edge of the anti-player side of the space 4520S, and the other configuration is the same as that of the other embodiment 2-1. In this case, since the front top plate 4680 needs to transmit the light of the light emitting means 8002 from the inner surface 4680b side (rear side) to the outer surface 4680a side (front side), it has the same translucency as the top main body cover 4520 Preferably, it is formed of an opaque synthetic resin (for example, a milky white synthetic resin).
According to such a structure, since the front top plate 4680 stands up at a position close to the player, it is possible to make the player feel more powerful and to make the outside stand out.

  Since the pachinko machine 1 of the other embodiment 2-1 and 2-2 is configured as described above, during execution of the reach production or the reach development production, etc., or during the result of the lottery regarding the big hit or the execution of the big hit, Light is emitted from the light emitting means 8002 to the front top plate 4680 with the front top plate 4680 rocked or in the standing posture, or the top main body cover is from the light emitting means 8002 with the front top plate 4680 in the closed posture Light can be applied to the bottom of the 4520 to perform various effects.

When the front top plate 4680 (opening / closing lid) of the front top unit 4500 is opened, the heat is dissipated to the upper outside from the opening 452a, so the heat is less likely to build up in the pachinko machine 1. Therefore, for example, with the light emitting means 8002 turned off, the front top plate 4680 is switched at an appropriate interval to open and close the opening 452a, and hit the effect display device 1600 suddenly when several times standing up to display symbols If the effect pattern to be set is set, the opening / closing operation of the front top plate 4680 may be incorporated into a part of the game to increase the player's interest while radiating heat from the opening 452a without the player being noticed it can.
In addition, the front top top board 4680 of the front top unit 4500 opens and closes the opening 452a by switching the closed attitude and the standing attitude in a demonstration manner regardless of the predetermined timing unrelated to the progress of the game, ie, regardless of the progress of the game You may do it.

  In addition, when the pachinko machine 1 is not performing the effect of raising the front top plate 4680, the opening 452a is closed by the front top plate 4680 in the closed position. The air heated in the pachinko machine 1 rises and the front top unit 4500 even when dust, dirt, cigarette dust and the like do not enter the space 4520S, and even when the front top plate 4680 is in the standing posture. Since an air flow is generated that passes from the opening 452a to the upper outside, dust, dirt, dust and the like do not easily enter the space 4520S.

Although the pachinko machine 1 of the other embodiment 2-1 and 2-2 has been described above, the pachinko machine 1 is of course not limited to the other embodiments 2-1 and 2-2. For example, in other forms 2-1 and 2-2, a flip-up type is adopted in which the front end top plate 4680 (opening / closing lid) can open the opening 452a by flipping the free end side around the rotation shaft 4680c. The front top plate 4680 may have a sliding shutter structure.
Further, the front top top plate 4680 of the other embodiment 2-1, 2-2 may be separately provided in one pachinko machine 1 in the front and back.
The front top plate 4680 does not have to be fully open at all times. For example, the front top plate 4680 may be half open, and it is preferable that the opening and closing for the purpose of heat radiation be a mode in which the player is less likely to notice.
Further, in the other forms 2-1 and 2-2, the light emitting means 8002 is formed to be swingable, but the light emitting means 8002 may be further allowed to move up and down so that light may be emitted from a high place of the pachinko machine 1 .

  Further, in the other forms 2-1 and 2-2, the front top unit 4500 is provided in the door frame 3, but instead of the door frame 3, for example, the upper end portion of the game board 5 of FIG. As a mounting portion of the top unit 4500, the front top unit 4500 is attached to the mounting portion, and the game board 5 provided with the front top unit 4500 is attached to the main frame 4, or the game board 5 is shown in FIG. On the other hand, the attachment portion of the front top unit 4500 may be provided on the top of the main body frame 4 and attached thereto. In this case, the door frame 3 is integrally provided with a transparent bulging portion that can cover other than the upper surface of the front top unit 4500 that protrudes forward above the window portion 1010a.

Moreover, in the other forms 2-1 and 2-2, although the part decorated with the light of the front top plate 4680 was made into planar shape, you may make it the solid shape which imitated the character etc., for example. In that case, the light emitting means 8002 can be a video projection type, and the decoration can be more realistically applied to a three-dimensional shape by a projection mapping method. By doing this, the visual difference between the front top plate 4680 in the closed position and the upright position increases, so it is easy to attract the attention of the surroundings when it changes to the upright position. The crime prevention effect against 452a also increases.
Further, in the other forms 2-1 and 2-2, the front top plate 4680 and the light emitting means 8002 are separately formed at the front and rear, but the light emitting means 8002 is incorporated inside the front top plate 4680. May be
In addition, it is possible to irradiate light to the curtain plate of the island facility using the light emitting means 8002 of the other embodiment 2-1, and to perform decoration and effects of the light in a state of jumping out from the pachinko machine 1 in this way.
Moreover, although the pachinko machine was illustrated as a game machine in other forms 2-1 and 2-2, it is applicable also to other game machines, such as a ball game and an arrange ball machine, and also using a game medal. The present invention is also applicable to a slot machine that rotates a plurality of drums (twirlers or reels). In this case, a portion provided with a drum or the like seen from a window covering in a visible state from the front of the gaming machine corresponds to a gaming area for playing a game.

Here, an example of the game content by the above-mentioned game element group will be described.
The function display unit 1400 provided at the upper left of the game board 5 includes, for example, a first special symbol display consisting of eight LEDs and a second special symbol display consisting of another eight LEDs. In the first special symbol indicator and the second special symbol indicator, a lottery game (special symbol variation game) is performed in which the respective special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) are varied and displayed. The first and second special symbols are symbols for drawing out a lottery result indicating the results of the determination (big lottery) of big hit, small hit, and out. And in this embodiment, the said lottery game is the 1st special symbol indicator or the 2nd special symbol indicator. The symbol variation which changes and displays each special symbol (1st special symbol, 2nd special symbol) From the start to the stop is executed as one lottery game. Hereinafter, the lottery game relating to the first special symbol performed in the first special symbol indicator may be referred to as the “first lottery game”, and the lottery game relating to the second special symbol performed in the second special symbol indicator It may be indicated as "second lottery game".

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, when the lottery game is started, which of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is used to perform the winning lottery using any special symbol? Is to be selected. Specifically, based on the game ball entering the fixed start winning opening 4813, the lottery game (first lottery game) relating to the first special symbol to be played in the first special symbol indicator is selected, and the electric motor is selected. Based on the game ball entering the start winning opening 4871, a lottery game (second lottery game) relating to a second special symbol performed by the second special symbol indicator is selected. And, when the winning lottery using the special symbol of the selected side is performed, the symbol which blinks 8 LEDs with the symbol indicator corresponding to the special symbol of the selected side based on the result of the corresponding lottery Control to start fluctuation is performed (main control board 1310X). In the symbol variation started in this way, the big hit symbol (big hit display result) which is the stop mode of the special symbol that can recognize the big hit after maintaining the fluctuating state for only the variation time selected based on the result of the lottery A small hit symbol (small hit display result) which is a stop mode of a special symbol that can recognize a hit, or a slip off pattern (a loose display result) that is a stop mode of a special symbol that can be recognized off By turning on the eight LEDs in the symbol display in a predetermined combination manner (the symbol variation is stopped), the player is either winning the jackpot, winning the small hit, or losing (disengagement) It will be possible to recognize. When the jackpot symbol comes to a stop, the main control board 1310X executes a jackpot game in which a game ball (prize ball) as a prize can be obtained by the player. The big hit game is a game which is continued until the opening and closing plate 4811 of the second big winning opening 4812 is opened and closed 15 times, and many prize balls can be given to the player. Further, when the small hit symbol is stopped in the form, a small hit game in which a player can obtain a winning ball is executed by the main control board 1310X. The small hit game is a game in which the big hit game can be executed by the establishment of the predetermined condition, and the small hit game alone can not obtain prize balls as big as the big hit game.

  Here, the small hit game will be described. In the present embodiment, a plurality of small hit symbols are provided, and a plurality of small hit game execution modes to be subsequently executed according to the type of small hit symbols determined by the symbol lottery performed at the same time as the lottery. It is supposed to be set to any of the modes. Specifically, the small hit game is a game in which the second shutter plate 4806 of the first large winning opening 4807 is operated to make it possible to enter the gaming ball into the first large winning opening 4807, which is executed this time It is set so that the execution mode such as opening / closing pattern of the ball entry opening by the second shutter plate 4806 and the opening time when opening is different depending on which of the small hitting symbols caused by the small hitting game is a plurality of small hitting symbols The possibility of entering the game ball into the first big winning opening 4807 differs depending on this execution mode. That is, the execution mode of the small hit game in which the second shutter plate 4806 is retracted for a relatively long time (for example, 1.5) is the second shutter plate 4806 for a relatively short time (for example, 0.5 seconds). It becomes easier to enter the game ball into the first large winning opening 4807 than the execution mode of the small hit game which backs the.

  Next, in the small hit game, all the game balls entering the first big winning opening 4807 reach the rotating ball receiving member 4808 inside the first large winning opening 4807, and the gaming balls are rotating ball receiving member 4808 When the ball is received by the ball receiving recess 4809, the game ball which is guided to the V prize opening 4810 by the rotation operation of the rotating ball receiving member 4808 and is not received by the ball receiving recess 4809 is of the rotating ball receiving member 4808. Roll down the tapered circumferential surface that inclines backward and enter general winning hole 4801. Then, when the game ball guided to the V winning opening 4810 side by the rotation operation of the rotary ball receiving member 4808 enters the V winning opening 4810 as described above, the opening / closing plate 4811 of the second big winning opening 4812 is used as the benefit. A big hit game to be opened and closed until the maximum number of times of opening and closing is reached is executed.

  Although the first to third display devices 4815, 4817, 4818 will be described later in detail, they are configured with display areas larger than any of the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display, and the big hit, small The game is mainly displayed so that the game is displayed by displaying the result of the hit lottery, ie, the hit and the loose, in a state in which the player is more easily recognized than the special symbol described above. Thus, the player can more easily recognize whether the player has won the jackpot, has won the small hit, or has been dropped (checked) by checking the first to third display devices 4815, 4817, 4818. Will be able to

  Although not shown, the function display unit 1400 has a first special hold number indicator consisting of two LEDs for displaying the number of holdings pertaining to the reception of the game ball to the fixed start winning opening 4813, and the electric start winning combination A second special hold number indicator consisting of two LEDs for displaying the number of reservations pertaining to the acceptance of the game ball to the mouth 4871, and a lottery result per common drawing determined by passage of the game ball to the start gate 4803 A normal symbol display consisting of two LEDs and a normal hold display consisting of two LEDs for displaying the number of holdings related to the passage of the game ball to the start gate 4803 are provided.

  Here, the first special hold number indicator informs the player of the number of hits for the first special symbol held in the unexecuted state (hereinafter also referred to as the first hold memory number). It is a thing. The first reserved memory number is incremented by “1” when the first lottery game is started while “1” is added by the game ball winning in the fixed start winning opening 4813, and is decremented by “1”. Therefore, when the game ball is accepted in fixed start winning opening 4813 within the period during which the first lottery game is being played, the first reserved storage number is further added and the predetermined upper limit number (first upper limit number, In the embodiment, "4" is accumulated.

  In addition, the second special hold number indicator informs the player of the number of hits for the second special symbol held in the unexecuted state (hereinafter also referred to as second hold memory number). It is. The second reserved memory number is incremented by “1” as the second lottery game is started, while “1” is added as the game ball wins at the electrically-driven start winning opening 4871. Therefore, when the game ball is accepted in electrically-driven start winning opening 4871 within the period when the second lottery game is being performed, the second reserved memory number is further added, and the predetermined upper limit number (second upper limit number, In the embodiment, up to "2") is accumulated.

  In addition, in the normal symbol display, when it is determined whether a normal hit or not (lottery per common drawing), a variation in the common symbol is made to change a plurality of types of normal symbols based on the result of the common drawing per lottery. It will be. This normal symbol variation is a stop pattern of a normal symbol that can recognize a normal hit after maintaining the fluctuating state for a selected variation time based on the result of the lottery per common figure (normal hit display result) If the player is stopped in the form that one of the normal deviation pattern (disappointing display result), which is the normal pattern stopping mode that can normally recognize the deviation, appears, the player loses the election whether it is a normal hit (normally It becomes possible to recognize if it has been lost. In addition, when it stops in the form which a normal hit pattern appears, the 1st shutter board 4802 of the electric-powered start winning opening 4871 will advance, and it will be in a state in which ball entering is possible.

  In addition, the normal hold indicator informs the player of the stored number of lottery drawing per common drawing (hereinafter, also referred to as the common drawing reserved memory number) held in the unexecuted state. While the common drawing reserve memory number is added by “1” when the game ball is received by the starting gate 4803 disposed on the game board 5, “1” is subtracted by normal symbol fluctuation being started. Therefore, when the game ball is received by the starting gate 4803 within the period when the normal symbol variation is being performed, the general drawing reserve memory number is further added and the predetermined upper limit number (general drawing upper limit number, in this embodiment) Accumulated up to "4").

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first lottery game and the second lottery game are configured not to be simultaneously executed, and the symbol variation (the first lottery game or the second lottery game) using the special symbol is ended. When both the first pending storage number and the second pending storage number are “1” or more, the second lottery game based on the second pending storage number is preferentially executed. Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to simultaneously execute symbol variation using the special symbol (first lottery game or second lottery game) and normal symbol variation.

  As mentioned above, although an example of the game contents by the game element group of an embodiment was explained, of course, various variations, such as a big hit, a middle hit, and a small hit, may be added.

Therefore, when an external force against the weight is applied and the lifting slider 4893 is forcibly pushed straight down, the arm-shaped movable portion 4888 is rotated by the engagement of the driven gear 4888 b and the rack gear 4894 to change the arm 4888 a in the direction of age At the same time, one foot member 4889a having a long hole 4889d is pivoted about the joint shaft hole 4889b by the downward movement of the link-shaped movable portion 4889 of the elevating slider 4893 and meshed with the sector gear 4889c. The other foot member 4889a pivots about the joint shaft hole 4889b, and as a whole, as shown in FIG. 244, the spherical bomb type character raises its fist and bounces both legs in the direction of about 8:20. Change to After that, when the external force applied to the lift slider 4893 is removed, all move in the opposite direction due to the weight of the arm-shaped movable portion 4888 and the foot-shaped movable portion 4889 and return to the original position (posture) of FIG.

[Display cover]
The display cover portion 4890 in a sunglasses shape is fixedly attached to the frame main body 4887 so as to cover a part of the display of the display member 4884 as described above. The color of the display cover portion 4890 is very light, and therefore there is no possibility of interfering with the display of the display member 4884. Note that part of the display on the display member 4884 is made indistinct by making the color of the display cover 4890 darker or opaque, etc., and after the display change stops, the display cover 4890 faces upward, for example, sunglasses. The display of the display member 4884 may be made to completely appear by rotating it or switching it to electrically transparent. By doing so, a part of the display member 4884 is concealed, and for example, the player's expectation is heightened so that it is not first understood whether the display is "0" or "8", and the display of the display member 4884 is performed. The pleasure of the game can be further enhanced by expanding the drop of the result display as the joy is expelled at the moment when the entire game is seen.

[Back cover for production]
The effect back cover 4886 covers the rear surface of the through hole 1112 of the base panel 1110, and as shown in the exploded perspective views of FIGS. 245 and 246, the back cover main body 4896 located forward and its back cover And a lifting device 4897 attached to the rear surface of the main body 4896.

[Back cover body]
The back cover main body 4896 is in the form of an open front box surrounding the rear surface of the through hole 1112 corresponding to the center member 2500, and forms an effect space 4898 communicated with the opening of the center member 2500. The back cover main body 4896 has a curved shape in which the bottom portion descends from the front toward the back as shown in the central longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 240 in order to secure a sufficient vertical width (height) in the back of the rendering space 4898. It has become. Further, on the bottom of the back cover main body 4896, a plurality of ridges 4899 extending in the front-rear direction are formed side by side. Although this fork 4899 is for representing the wave of the sea, for example, even when the employee opens the door frame 3 to deal with the trouble, even if the game ball is dropped to the effect space 4898 by mistake, You can roll it out easily by rolling the game ball on 畝 4899. By the way, if the bottom of the back cover main body 4896 does not have the fore-and-aft direction ridges 4899 (string-like guiding portions for scraping the game ball), the game ball rolls freely in the lateral direction, so it takes time to capture. Note that arranging the weir 4899 in the lateral direction and arranging the grooves in the lateral direction is merely a difference in expression and is substantially equivalent.

[lift device]
The lifting device 4897 vertically moves the third display device 4818 within the effect back cover 4886, and as shown in the exploded perspective views of FIGS. 245 and 246, the rear surface of the rear wall 4896r of the rear cover main body 4896 On the rear surface of the elevating panel 4901 attached to the fixed elevating base 4900 attached to the elevating guide shaft 4918 erected between the elevating base 4900 and the back cover main body 4896. A lifting gear 4903 is engaged with the lifting rack gear 4902 so as to raise and lower the lifting panel 4901.

[Third Display Device and Lifting Device]
The display frame 4885 of the third display device 4818 is integrally joined with the lift panel 4901 of the lift device 4897. Specifically, the connecting rod 4905 provided on the rear surface of the display frame 4885 of the third display device 4818 is screwed to the elevating panel 4901 through the communication port 4896 w opened in the rear wall 4896 r of the back cover main body 4896 It is done. Therefore, the third display device 4818 rises together with the lifting panel 4901 as shown in FIG. 243 when the lifting motor 4904 drives it, and conversely as shown in FIG. 244 when the lifting panel 4901 lowers. Descent with. The lifting device 4897 is provided with a tension spring 4906 for pulling the lifting panel 4901 upward, and the weight of the lifting panel 4901 and the third display device 4818 is supported by tension elasticity to reduce the load on the lifting motor 4904. It is supposed to be.

The lifting device 4897 also functions as means for applying an external force necessary to move the arm-shaped movable portion 4888 and the foot-shaped movable portion 4889 of the third display device 4818.
That is, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 245, a key-shaped pressing member 4907 having a squib shape in front is projected forward from the center upper end to the lifting base 4900 which is a fixed element of the lifting device 4897. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 240, the lower end of the pressing member 4907 has an appropriate gap on the top of the liftable lift slider 4893 connected to the arm movable portion 4888 and the foot movable portion 4889. It faces in the state where it was provided.
Therefore, when the third display device 4818 is lifted by the lifting device 4897, both the arm-shaped movable portion 4888 and the foot-shaped movable portion 4889 are initially moved until the top of the lifting slider 4893 contacts the lower end of the pressing member 4907. The top of the lift slider 4893 abuts against the lower end of the pressing member 4907 to prevent the lift of the lift slider 4893 from being further lifted, and the third display 4818 continues to rise. Because the lift slider 4893 is forcibly pushed down, as shown in FIG. 244, the spherical bomb type character jumps up with his fists up to his age and jumps his legs in the direction of about 8:20. Change to Thus, the third display 4818 is linked to the ascent by the ascent and descent device 4897 to raise the fist up and at the same time act as if it is jumping up with both feet open.
On the other hand, when the third display device 4818 falls from the raised position of FIG. 244 to the lowered position, the external force applied to the lift slider 4893 is removed by the lowered position, so the arm-shaped movable portion 4888 and the foot-shaped movable portion The lift slider 4893 is relatively lifted by its own weight 4889, and the position and posture of the third display 4818 finally return to the state shown in FIG.

  When the arm-shaped movable portion 4888 and the foot-shaped movable portion 4889 in the stationary state of FIG. 243 are changed to the jump state in FIG. 244, the elevation of the lift slider 4893 in the stationary state and the arm-shaped movable portion 4888 and the foot-shaped movable Since a large force is required to start the swinging of the portion 4889 at the same time, in the embodiment, as described above, slightly between the squib-shaped holding member 4907 on the lifting device 4897 side and the top of the lifting slider 4893 The gap is first provided, and only the lift slider 4893 is lifted first, and the arm-shaped movable portion 4888 and the foot-shaped movable portion 4889 are swung by providing a time difference corresponding to the clearance. As a result, the load applied to the lift motor 4904 of the lift device 4897 can be dispersed and reduced.

  Furthermore, when the third display device 4818 is completely lowered by providing the rack gear 4894 not to the fixed element of the back cover main body 4896 but to the elevation slider 4893, the arm-shaped movable portion 4888 and the leg-shaped movable portion 4889 are raised and lowered by reaction. Because the slider 4893 slightly bounces (in appearance, the arms and feet slightly swing a couple of degrees), the slight motion due to the bounce impresses the motion of the character that tends to be mechanical. be able to.

  In addition, the center member 2500 surrounding the third display device 4818 has a warp entrance 2501 opened on the outer peripheral surface on the left side of the front view so that the game balls in the upper layer game zone 4823 can enter. Warp outlet 2502 which is opened in the frame so as to be able to release gaming ball B which has entered warp inlet 2501, and after rolling the gaming ball released from warp outlet 2502 in the left-right direction, to upper layer gaming zone 4823 A releasable stage shelf 2503 is provided, and a gaming ball falling from the center of the stage shelf 2503 can enter the jumping portion 4827 with a high probability.

In addition, the first bowl 4911 which opens upward at the lower end of the free fall area 4910 and receives the game ball having passed through the start gate 4803 and the game ball simply passing the side without passing through the start game gate 4803;
The bifurcated area 4912 having the first shutter plate 4802 of the electric start hole 4871 in a direction in which four obstacle nails 2007 are implanted in a corner post shape and is dropped straightly while continuing to the end of the first weir 4911;
A second weir 4913 that opens on the left side in FIG. 234 of the branch area 4912 and bypasses the outside of the electric start hole 4871 in a lateral U shape and joins the flow path of the branch area 4912 in the direction of falling straight;
A third weir 4914 continuous from the second weir 4913 and including the top surface of the first shutter plate 4802 of the first big winning opening 4807 in a part of the flow path;
It is formed between the second large winning opening 4812 and the lower free falling area 4915 having a plurality of obstacle nails 2007 and a general winning opening 4801 located immediately below the exit portion of the third ridge 4914.

In the right-handed game zone 4824, as shown in FIG. 234 and FIG. 251, the above-mentioned right-handed ball channel is formed on the inner surface side of the boundary wall 4916 which divides the upper game zone 4823 and the lower game zone 4825. A lighting board 4917 for effect that is illuminated from the side is provided. The lighting board 4917 is viewed from the player side only by the front end face or the back face of the opaque board depending on its position and direction, and the light of the light emitting LED as a light source is hard to directly enter the view. Glare can be suppressed while brightly illuminating.
Further, in the right-handed game zone 4824, a timer segment 4882 by a segment display capable of displaying a 5-digit number is provided in the vicinity of the end of the third ridge 4914. It is designed to increase the interest of the game by giving notice and so on.

The pachinko machine 1 according to the embodiment has the above-described configuration, and the outline of the game is as described above. However, to supplement the explanation, the player first dives into the upper layer game zone 4823 by driving a game ball Aim for entry to section 4827. Of course, some of them enter the jumping part 4827 as intended, some of them enter the general winning opening 4801, and some of them enter the out guiding part 1003 immediately and end the game.
The first special symbol indicator when the game ball enters the fixed start winning opening 4801 after entering the lower layer game zone 4825 after entering the lower layer game zone 4825 in the upper layer game zone 4823 and entering the lower layer game zone 4825. A lottery game (first lottery game) relating to a first special symbol to be played in the first game is played, and in this first lottery game, stepwise by the first display device 4815, the second display device 4817, and the third display device 4818 It is expected that the big hit game and the small hit game described above are hit by the effect display. That is, based on the progress of the lottery game described above, the display lamp 4814 of the first display device 4815 is turned on sequentially from the bottom to the top to display the start of the lottery with an image as if the fire of the squib burns. Then, the lottery result of the first step is displayed by the contents of three symbols (for example, three "GO" displays are arranged) displayed on the second display device 4817, and finally the final step is performed on the third display device 4818. (Specifically, the display of a single digit number by a large segment display, or the jumping operation of the spherical bomb type character by the display frame 4885, the arm movable portion 4888, and the foot movable portion 4889) The player is made aware of the hit and the release.

In addition, among the game balls launched in the upper layer game zone 4823, part of the game balls that entered the dive part 4827 but did not enter the fixed start winning opening 4801 pass through the second distribution part 4829b. When the game ball passes through the start gate 4803, when the game ball passes through the start gate 4803, the signal is detected by the gate sensor 4875 and the above-described normal symbol lottery regarding the operation of the first shutter plate 4802 is performed.
Then, when the normal symbol lottery is hit (1/10), the first shutter plate 4802 of the right-handed game zone 4824 advances by an amount according to the lottery result, and the ball can be entered into the electric start winning opening 4871 When the time elapses, the first shutter plate 4802 retracts, and entry of the electric start winning opening 4871 becomes impossible.
In addition, the result of the lottery is displayed on the normal symbol display device 4804 for effect (specifically, display of one digit number by the segment display).

  In addition, after the end of the big hit game, the variation time of the normal symbol in the normal symbol lottery is shortened time (for example 1 second) shortened than the variation time (for example 120 seconds) in the normal gaming state Controlled by the main character, and by directly aiming at the start gate 4803 of the right-handed game zone 4824 instead of the diving part 4827, the lottery game (second lottery game) relating to the second special symbol to be It will be possible to proceed with the game. The time saving game state is ended under a predetermined ending condition (for example, 10 times of variable display of a special symbol, etc.) and returned to the normal game state.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is of course not limited to the above embodiment. For example, although a pachinko machine has been illustrated as a game machine in the embodiment, the invention is also applicable to other game machines such as ball ball machines and arrange ball machines, and further, a plurality of drums The present invention is also applicable to slot machines that rotate reels.

In the embodiment, the game area 5a is formed by three game zones, but may be configured by two game zones or a single game area 5a.
In the embodiment, the ball rolling member 4845 has been described as a part of the distribution device 4843. However, the ball rolling member 4845 rolls the gaming ball in a visible state from the player in the gaming area 5a. The thing is not limited to the distribution device 4843.

Incidentally, conventionally, a pachinko machine, which is an example of a gaming machine, is provided with a game area surrounded by rails and covered with a window in the front of the game board, and a player plays a game ball above the game area. When the game ball is thrown into a specific receptacle or the like in the process of flowing down, a predetermined number of game balls are provided (released) to the player as a prize of the ball entry, while they enter the specific receptacle. The game ball which did not ball is collected to the game place side through the out ball mouth.
By the way, in some players, a strong external force (specifically, hitting or strongly pulling a ball plate, etc.) is applied to the pachinko machine to vibrate the whole, and the trajectory of the gaming ball is forced by the vibration. There are those who change to enter a specific entrance, and thus try to obtain a prize illegally (hereinafter, such fraudulent acts are simply referred to as "dotkigot").
For example, as a part of a pachinko machine which is susceptible to the damage of the above-mentioned dodgie goto, there is a ball swing type distribution device generally referred to as "clone".
This distribution device is provided with a ball flow path comprising a bottom wall gently inclined toward the center of a circle like a shallow ridge and a peripheral wall surrounding the outer periphery of the bottom wall, and the ball flow A ball rolling member configured to turn on the bottom wall portion while applying a centrifugal force toward the peripheral wall portion by inserting a game ball toward the inside of the peripheral wall portion and in a direction substantially tangential to the path, and the bottom wall A plurality of (for example, 2 to 4) game ball sockets provided at positions symmetrical with respect to the center of the unit, and one of the game reception slots, are provided with a privilege for entering balls. The game ball, which is inserted into the ball channel of the ball rolling member and initially swirls along the peripheral wall by centrifugal force, gradually loses its momentum and is centered on the bottom wall. It gradually descends to the side, and it is possible to play into which of the receiving ports including the specific receiving port finally enter the ball. It is an element.
The dossier for this ball turning type distribution device applies an external force by hitting the front of the pachinko machine strongly by, for example, hitting the front of the pachinko machine at a timing when the gaming ball turning on the bottom wall approaches the specified receiving port. The pachinko machine is vibrated, and the vibration causes the trajectory of the gaming ball to change from the turning direction to the radial direction to enter the target specified receiving port.
Therefore, as a conventional measure against such a problem, as described in, for example, a document (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-229209), a vibration sensor is installed in a pachinko machine, and the vibration detected by the vibration sensor causes the vibration. It is determined that the game arcade side takes necessary measures based on the determination result.
The conventional vibration sensor for dodukigoto only estimates that dokkigoto has been performed by detecting abnormal vibration of the pachinko machine, and even if the ball enters the specified receiving port immediately after the abnormal vibration, it enters the ball It was difficult to prove the causal relationship between the vibration and the anomalous vibration, and it was not possible to prevent the actual damage caused by Dokkigot.

[Attachment method of vibration detection switch and back stick member for game ball]
On the front left side of the base to be the bottom plate of the back box 3010, as described above, the back rod member 1110ta for the left game ball is attached, and in the vicinity of the top of the left side wall of the back box 3010, the top The vibration detection switch 3005 is attached, and the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a is attached near the lower portion of the left side wall of the back box 3010 as described above.

The back hole member 1110 ta for the left side game ball and the back side member 1110 tb for the right side game ball are respectively formed with the stop holes, and the front face of the base which is the bottom plate of the back box 3010 corresponds to these stop holes. Mounting boss holes having a predetermined height (in the present embodiment, 6 mm) are formed in the front position. Here, the back rod member 1110 tb for the right side game ball will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 252 is a cross-sectional view in which the back box is partially bent in the left-right direction along the vertical direction to be cut, and is a schematic view (a) showing how to attach the vibration detection switch and the back stick member for gaming balls. , And its modification (b). In FIG. 252, the back bowl member 1110tb for the right side game ball enters the electric start winning opening 4871, the first large winning opening 4807, the general winning opening 4801, the V winning opening 4810, and the second large winning opening 4812 etc. The eyebrow portion for guiding the game ball to the rear and downstream side is omitted from the view of the drawing.

  In the back bowl member 1110 tb for the right gaming ball, fixing holes 1110 tba1 to 1110 tba5 (five locking holes) for attaching the back bowl member 1110 tb for the right gaming ball to the front right side of the base serving as the bottom plate of the back box 3010, As shown in FIG. 252 (a), it is not formed at all except the area where the lower vibration detection switch 3006b is attached. Specifically, the stop holes 1110tba1, 1110tba2 and 1110tba3 are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction, and the stop hole 1110tba3 and the stop holes 1110tba4 and 1110tba5 are in the vertical direction of the lower vibration detection switch 3006b. Are spaced apart from one another by approximately the same vertical distance from the center point of

  On the front right side of the base to be the bottom plate of the back box 3010, a predetermined number is directed forward to a position corresponding to the plurality of stop holes 1110tba1 to 1110tba5 (five stop holes) formed in the back ball member 1110tb for the right game ball. Since mounting boss holes 3010ab1 to 3010ab5 (five mounting boss holes) having a height (in the present embodiment, 6 mm) are respectively formed to project, mounting boss holes 3010ab1, 3010ab2 and 3010ab3 have a distance dimension in the vertical direction, etc. The mounting boss holes 3010ab3 and the mounting boss holes 3010ab4 and 3010ab5 are spaced apart from each other by substantially the same vertical distance from the vertical center point of the lower vibration detection switch 3006b. ing.

  Thus, in the state where the back rod member 1110 tb for the right side game ball is attached to the front surface of the base serving as the bottom plate of the back box 3010, the above-described predetermined height formed on the front surface of the base serving as the bottom plate of the back box 3010 Between the back surface of the back rod member 1110 tb for the right gaming ball and the front surface of the base which is the bottom plate of the back box 3010 by the mounting boss holes 3010 ab1 to 3010 ab 5 (five mounting boss holes) having 6 mm in this embodiment. A space of a predetermined height (6 mm in this embodiment) is formed in Thus, in a state where the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b is mounted near the lower portion of the right side wall of the back box 3010 and attached to the front of the base serving as the bottom plate of the back box 3010, the upper and left sides of the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b are back and forth Even though the game ball is disposed in the vicinity of the back bowl member 1110tb for the right game ball bent in the left and right direction, the game ball passing through the ball guide path BS formed on the back bowl member 1110tb for the right game ball is the ball guide path BS The vibration that occurs when it collides with the induction wall of can be escaped using this space, so to the front of the base that will be the bottom plate of the back box 3010 via the back of the back bowl member 1110 tb for the right game ball It can contribute to preventing transmission. Thereby, the vibration generated when the gaming ball passing through the ball guiding path BS formed on the back ball member 1110 tb for the right-hand gaming ball collides with the guiding wall of the ball guiding path BS can escape using the above-mentioned space Since the transmission can be made difficult to be transmitted to the lower vibration detection switch 3006b, erroneous detection of the lower vibration detection switch 3006b due to this vibration can be prevented.

  Further, among the plurality of retaining holes 1110tba1 to 1110tba5 (five retaining holes) formed in the back ball member 1110tb for the right-side gaming ball, the retaining holes 1110tba1, 1110tba2 and 1110tba3 are vertically spaced at equal intervals. As well as being disposed, the retaining hole 1110tba3 and the retaining holes 1110tba4 and 1110tba5 are disposed apart from the center point of the lower vibration detection switch 3006b in the vertical direction by substantially the same vertical distance dimension. Then, among the mounting boss holes 3010ab1 to 3010ab5 (five mounting boss holes) formed on the front surface of the base serving as the bottom plate of the back box 3010 to correspond to the locking holes 1110tba1 to 1110tba5 (five locking holes), The mounting boss holes 3010 ab 1, 3010 ab 2, and 3010 ab 3 are spaced apart at equal distance in the vertical direction, and the mounting boss hole 3010 ab 3 and the mounting boss holes 3010 ab 4 and 3010 ab 5 are the centers of the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b in the vertical direction. The points are spaced apart by substantially the same vertical distance dimension. Thus, five retaining holes are formed in the back bowl member 1110 tb for the right game ball, and the back box 3010, with the attachment surface between the back bowl member 1110 tb for the right game ball and the front surface of the base serving as the bottom plate of the back box 3010 The ball guiding path BS formed in the back rod member 1110tb for the right side game ball by limiting the area to a sufficiently small size by limiting to five mounting boss holes formed in the front surface of the base to be the bottom plate It can contribute to preventing the vibration generated when the passing gaming ball collides with the guiding wall of the ball guiding path BS from being transmitted to the front of the base which is the bottom plate of the back box 3010 through the mounting surface. Also in this respect, it is difficult for the vibration generated when the gaming ball passing through the ball guiding path BS formed on the back ball member 1110tb for the right-hand game ball collides with the guiding wall of the ball guiding path BS to the lower vibration detection switch 3006b As a result, false detection of the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b due to this vibration can be prevented.

  In addition, the five lock holes formed in the back rod member 1110 tb for the right game ball, and the mounting surface of the back ball member 1110 tb for the right game ball and the front surface of the base serving as the bottom plate of the back box 3010 The game ball passing through the ball guide path BS formed in the back rod member 1110tb for the right side game ball is limited to the five attachment boss holes formed on the front surface of the base serving as the bottom plate. The vibration path that occurs when the guide wall collides can be limited to the mounting surface.

  In order to be able to exhibit such an effect, a stop hole is formed in each of the back game members 1110ta for the left side game ball, and a plurality of these stop holes are formed in the front of the base which is the bottom plate of the back box 3010 At the corresponding positions, mounting boss holes having a predetermined height (in the present embodiment, 6 mm) are respectively formed forward.

  In addition, the vibration generated when the gaming ball passing through the ball guiding path BS formed on the back ball member 1110 tb for the right-hand game ball collides with the guiding wall of the ball guiding path BS is the front face of the base serving as the bottom plate of the back box 3010 As a configuration that can be prevented from being transmitted to the back ball member 1110tb for the right side game ball, the notch portion having a larger distance dimension compared to the distance dimension of the lower vibration detection switch 3006b, the lower vibration detection switch It can also be configured to be formed on the back side of the back bowl member 1110 tb for the right side game ball at a position corresponding to 3006 b. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 252 (b), the back ball member 1110tb for the right side game ball has a lower notch portion 1110tbb having a larger distance dimension than the distance dimension of the lower vibration detection switch 3006b. It is formed on the back surface side of the back ball member 1110 tb for the right side game ball at a position corresponding to the vibration detection switch 3006 b. The difference from FIGS. 252 (a) and 252 (b) is that the mounting boss holes 3010ab1 to 3010ab5 in FIG. 252 (a) have a predetermined height (6 mm in this embodiment) toward the front and protrude from the back. The mounting boss holes 3010ab1 to 3010ab5 in FIG. 252 (b) have a predetermined height (6 mm in this embodiment) in the rear, while they are formed on the front surface of the base which is the bottom plate of the box 3010. The point is that it is formed on the back surface of the base that is to be the bottom plate of the back box 3010, and the back rod member 1110tb for the right side game ball in FIG. 252 (a) is on the front surface of the base that is to be the bottom plate of the back box 3010. Mounting boss holes 3010 ab1 to 3010 ab1 having the above-described predetermined height (in the present embodiment, 6 mm) formed on the front surface of the base which is the bottom plate of the back box 3010 in the mounted state A space of a predetermined height (6 mm in this embodiment) between the back surface of the back rod member 1110 tb for the right gaming ball and the front surface of the base serving as the bottom plate of the back box 3010 by 010ab5 (five mounting boss holes) In the state in which the back stick member 1110tb for the right side game ball in FIG. 252 (b) is attached to the front of the base which is the bottom plate of the back box 3010 while FIG. Notches 1110tbb (the mounting boss holes 3010ab1 to 3010ab5 have a predetermined height (6 mm in the present embodiment, 6 mm in this embodiment) in which the back of the back and the front of the base that is the bottom plate of the back box 3010 are formed in the back hook member 1110tb for the right game ball It has the same height as), and is in point contact with the surface. Thereby, the vibration generated when the game ball passing through the ball guiding path BS formed on the back ball member 1110 tb for the right game ball collides with the guiding wall of the ball guiding path BS is applied to the back ball member 1110 tb for the right game ball Since it can be made difficult to be transmitted to the lower vibration detection switch 3006b by being able to escape using the space of the formed notched portion 1110tbb, erroneous detection of the lower vibration detection switch 3006b due to this vibration can be prevented. Such a notch 1110tbb formed on the back bowl member 1110tb for the right side game ball may be formed on the back bowl member 1110ta for the left game ball.

  As described above, the third distribution unit 4829c is the final stage where ball entry into the target fixed start winning opening 4813 can be expected, and the first electric distribution piece 4835 swings to the position of the left mechanical end. When it reaches it, it is distributed to the right track that flows to the right toward the front of the ball passage 4834 and is connected to the third distribution unit 4829c via the screw passage 4836 that descends spirally, so the third distribution The distribution to the right course directly connected to the section 4829c is what the player desires, and is distribution to an area which is advantageous for the player. In addition, when the second electric distribution piece 4845 in the second distribution part 4829b connected to the left path of the ball passage 4834 of the first distribution part 4829a swings and reaches the position of the mechanical end on the left side, Since the third distribution unit 4829c is connected to the third distribution unit 4829c, the distribution to be connected to the third distribution unit 4829c is desired by the player and is advantageous for the player. It becomes distribution.

  On the other hand, when the first electric distribution piece 4835 swings and reaches the position of the mechanical end on the right side, it is distributed to the left track flowing to the left toward the front of the ball passage 4834 and connected to the second distribution portion 4829b. Although the second distribution unit 4829b can obtain an opportunity for distribution to be connected to the third distribution unit 4829c, the right route directly connected to the third distribution unit 4829c described above and In comparison, the connection to the third distribution unit 4829c is mediated by the distribution by the second distribution unit 4829b, and the area in which the probability of being connected to the third distribution unit 4829c decreases is advantageous to the player. It is hard to say that it is the distribution to. In addition, when the second electric distribution piece 4840 swings and reaches the position of the mechanical end vertically inverted, the second electric distribution piece 4840 is connected to the start gate 4803 via the passage 4842 between the left hand. The distribution unit 4829c is not connected at all to the area which is advantageous for the player.

  The connector 4908c (4909c) of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) is provided at a position rotated clockwise by 135 ° (tolerance ± 3 °) from the horizontal center line, as shown in FIG. 254 (b). As shown, / φ 2 is assigned to the first pin, / φ 1 is assigned to the second pin, φ 2 C (common) is assigned to the third pin, φ 1 C (common) is assigned to the fourth pin, and The pin is assigned φ2 and the sixth pin is assigned φ1. Various voltages (operation voltage to be described later, stop voltage to be described later) are applied to φ2C (common) allocated to the third pin, and / φ2 allocated to the first pin or φ2 allocated to the fifth pin A current flows. Various voltages (operation voltage to be described later, stop voltage to be described later) are applied to φ1C (common) allocated to the fourth pin, and / φ1 allocated to the second pin or φ1 allocated to the sixth pin A current flows.

  The first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) switches between the operating voltage and the stopping voltage according to the rotation state of the rotary shaft 4908a (4909a) as excitation to φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2. It is done.

  As described above, in the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909), when φ1 and φ2 set to the reference excitation phase are excited (ON), the angle of the D cut surface formed on the rotation shaft 4908a (4909a) is The D-cut angular position is a position rotated counterclockwise by 10 ° (tolerance ± 3 °) from the horizontal center line. In this embodiment, eight combinations of excitation of each phase of φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) described later (each phase of φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 (Exclude all non-excitation ones) so that the rotational position (except the position of each mechanical end) of the rotary shaft 4908a (4909a) can be determined by the combination of excitation of each of the eight phases. It has become.

  Thus, the combination of excitation of each phase of φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) and the rotational position of the rotary shaft 4908a (4909a) (except for the position of each mechanical end). A sensor is provided so that the first electric distribution piece 4835 is at the position of the mechanical end on the left side, for example, when the correspondence relationship between and is not formed at all, and the rotation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 The shaft 4908a is rotated to push the first electric distribution piece 4835 to the position of the mechanical end on the left side, and when it is detected by the sensor, the excitation phase of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 and the first electric distribution There is a disadvantage that it is necessary to grasp the correspondence with the position of the mechanical end on the left side of the A sensor is provided so that the distribution piece 4840 is detected at the left mechanical end position, and the rotation shaft 4909a of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 is rotated to move the second electric distribution piece 4840 to the left mechanical end position. The drawback is that it is necessary to grasp the correspondence relationship between the excitation phase of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 and the position of the mechanical end on the left side of the second electric distribution piece 4840 when it is detected by the sensor by performing a moving push operation. There is.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) rotates the rotational shaft 4908a (4909a) when the φ1 and φ2 set to the reference excitation phase are excited (ON). The angle of the D-cut surface formed in) is structurally determined so as to be a position rotated counterclockwise by 10 ° (tolerance ± 3 °) from the horizontal center line and to be the D-cut angular position, and further A combination of eight excitations to φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909), and the rotational position (excluding the position of each mechanical end) of the rotational shaft 4908a (4909a), Of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) and the first electric distribution without performing the above-described pressing operation at all. 4835 and (. Excluding the position of each mechanical end) rotation position of the (4840), and is capable of determining.

  In addition to the time of power-on, at the time of power recovery when power is restored due to a power failure or momentary stop, the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) is controlled by the first excitation to rotate the first electric distribution piece 4835 (4840) Even if the position is different from the assumed rotational position, the next excitation may control the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) to match the rotational position of the first electric distribution piece 4835 (4840) with the intended rotational position. Since it can be done, recovery can be performed easily. This can be applied to the case where the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) is out of step by the current excitation, and the first excitation is controlled by the next excitation to control the first electric distribution Since the rotational position of the piece 4835 (4840) can be adjusted to the intended rotational position, recovery of the step out of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) can be easily performed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as an electric drive source that always swings the first electric distribution piece 4835 in a wiper shape (a wiper shape that always reciprocates between the position of the mechanical end on the left and the position of the mechanical end on the right). An electric drive that uses a stepping motor and always swings the second electric distribution piece 4840 into a wiper shape (a wiper shape that always reciprocates between the position of the mechanical end on the left and the position of the mechanical end that is vertically inverted). The reason for adopting a stepping motor as a source will be briefly described.

  The first electric distribution piece 4835 and the second electric distribution piece 4840 distribute the gaming balls according to the distribution ratio, and the accuracy is required. For this reason, if a solenoid is adopted as the electric drive source, a difference occurs between the plunger movement speed when the excitation drive of the solenoid is started and the plunger movement speed due to the restoring force of the spring when the excitation drive of the solenoid is stopped. . In addition, the plunger movement speed is not always constant because the plunger returns due to the restoring force of the spring, and the plunger movement speed due to the variation of the spring also differs depending on the solenoid. Further, as described above, since the first electric distribution piece 4835 and the second electric distribution piece 4840 always swing like a wiper, when the solenoid is adopted as the electric drive source, the solenoid is not durable. There is a secular deterioration of the spring, and it is difficult to continue the distribution operation by the first electric distribution piece 4835 and the second electric distribution piece 4840 according to the distribution ratio set at the time of design. As described above, when a solenoid is used as the electric drive source, it is difficult to accurately control the distribution operation by the first electric distribution piece 4835 and the second electric distribution piece 4840, and the distribution operation is finely controlled. It is difficult.

  So, in this embodiment, it is durable, there is little aging degradation, the variation in the performance between individuals is small, it is possible to control the distribution operation accurately, and it is possible to control the distribution operation finely. As a source, a first distribution stepping motor 4908 which is a stepping motor is adopted for the first electric distribution piece 4835, and a second distribution stepping motor 4909 which is a stepping motor is adopted for the second electric distribution piece 4840.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) is formed on the rotation shaft 4908a (4909a) when φ1 and φ2 set to the reference excitation phase are excited (ON). The angle of the D-cut surface to be cut is structurally determined such that it becomes a D-cut angular position at a position rotated counterclockwise by 10 ° (tolerance ± 3 °) from the horizontal center line, and the first Correspondence between 8 combinations of excitation to φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 of the distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) and the rotational position (excluding the position of each mechanical end) of the rotary shaft 4908a (4909a). Therefore, the excitation phase of the first distributing stepping motor 4908 (4909) and the first electric distribution piece 483 are performed without performing the above-described pressing operation at all. Although it was a mechanism that can determine the rotational position (excluding the position of each mechanical end) of (4840), such a mechanism is another rendering device provided with a movable body operated by a stepping motor. It can be used for Such other effect devices may be provided on the game board 5 or the door frame 3. When the other rendering device is controlled by the main control board 1310X, the stepping motor for operating the movable body is driven and controlled by the main control board 1310X, and when the other rendering device is controlled by the peripheral control board 1510, the movable A stepper motor that operates the body is driven and controlled by the peripheral control board 1510.

  Incidentally, conventionally, there has been proposed a gaming machine which effects by driving a movable effect body (movable body) on a front surface of a liquid crystal display which displays various images according to various effects by driving a drive motor (stepping motor) ( For example, Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2008-012194 (Paragraph [0039], Paragraph [0045]-Paragraph [0051], FIGS. 2-4)). A photo sensor is disposed at the original position of the movable effect body (movable body), and it is understood that the movable effect body (movable body) exists at the original position by being detected by the photo sensor. It has become. However, in the gaming machine described in this document, since the original position of the movable effect body (movable body) is specified based on the detection signal from the photosensor, at the time of power recovery (when the power is turned on) In addition, when the original position of the movable effect body (movable body) can not be specified in the power recovery including power failure and momentary stop), the excitation phase to the drive motor (stepping motor) and the movable body effect There is a problem that the position of (movable body) can not be specified.

[Voltage switching circuit]

  The first distribution stepping motor 4908 always swings the first electric distribution piece 4835 in a wiper shape, and the second distribution stepping motor 4909 always swings the second electric distribution piece 4840 in a wiper shape. , It is necessary to always drive the second distribution stepping motor 4908, 4909. However, when the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 are constantly driven, the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 generate excessive heat, which causes problems with the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909. And failure may occur. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress heat generation even when the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 are constantly driven.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 are driven to swing the first and second electric distribution pieces 4835 and 4840 in the form of a wiper, the operation voltage is used.

The power consumption Wo at +12 V which is the operating voltage is 144 / resistance R, and the power consumption Ws at +5 V which is the stopping voltage is 25 / resistance R. Then, the power consumption Wo at +12 V, which is the operating voltage, is five times or more (5.76 = 144/25) compared to the power consumption Ws at +5 V, which is the stopping voltage. It becomes. The same applies to the first distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 n (1310 q).

  That is, even if the temperature rise is a problem in the single (continuous) drive at +12 V which is the operation voltage, the temperature rise can be suppressed to about 1⁄5 or less by the drive at +5 V which is the stop voltage.

  The package of the first distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 n (1310 q) generates heat by the first to fourth NPN Darlington transistors that excite φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909), Heat generated by the first to fourth diodes that convert the back electromotive force from φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 of the first split stepping motor 4908 (4909) into heat is absorbed, and the absorbed heat is released to the outside air It escapes to (around the first distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 n (1310 q)). Since the island facilities of the game hall are arranged in a row with other pachinko machines in reverse, the heat generated from the power supply board of the pachinko machine, various control boards, etc. raises the temperature in the island facilities of the game hall.

  Therefore, even if the package of the first split stepping motor drive IC 1310 n (1310 q) absorbs the heat generated by the first to fourth NPN Darlington transistors and the first to fourth diodes, the first split stepping motor is driven. Since the efficiency of dissipating the absorbed heat to the outside air decreases when the temperature of the outside air is high around the IC 1310 n (13 10 q), heat is stored in the package of the first distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 n (13 10 q) It will be. Then, when the temperature of the package of the first distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 n (1310 q) rises and the junction temperature of the first to fourth NPN Darlington transistors rises to the junction temperature, the first to fourth NPN Darlington transistors The transistor may break down.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first distributing stepping motor 4908 (4909) is driven to rotate the rotation shaft 4908a (4909a) in CW (clockwise) or CCW (counterclockwise), the first By continuously exciting the distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) to φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 respectively as continuously as possible, the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) to φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 The number of times the excitation is stopped is reduced, and the back electromotive force generated when the excitation to φ 1, φ 2, / φ 1, / φ 2 of the first split stepping motor 4908 (4909) is stopped is determined by the first to fourth back electromotive force The number of times of conversion to heat by the diode can be reduced. As a result, the heat generation by the first to fourth diodes can be suppressed to a small level, which can contribute to the reduction of the temperature rise of the package of the first distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 n (1310 q). Therefore, failure of the first to fourth NPN Darlington transistors due to heat can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, a field effect transistor (FET) MF50 (MF60) which is a semiconductor is used for the first distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310m (1310p) without using a relay. This is because a time lag occurs in the relay and the variation in performance between individuals is large, so it is difficult to control the distribution operation accurately.

Incidentally, conventionally, a game machine has been proposed in which a movable effect is driven by a drive motor (stepping motor) on the front of a liquid crystal display that displays various images in accordance with various effects (eg, JP-A 2008-012194 (paragraph [0039], paragraph [0045] to paragraph [0049], FIG. 2, FIG. 3)). By the way, in the gaming machine described in this document, the drive motor (stepping motor) is excited to cause the movable effect body to produce the effect when the movable effect body is activated by the drive motor (stepping motor) and stopped at the effect position. Since it is necessary not to move from the position, there is a problem that the drive motor (stepping motor) generates excessive heat when excitation to the drive motor (stepping motor) is always performed.
[Poly switch]

  Here, a poly switch will be described as a resettable fuse. FIG. 256 is a schematic view showing the arrangement of poly switches.

  The operating voltage or the stopping voltage is supplied to the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) as a power supply line of +12 V-U (+12 V-D) through the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60). In the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60), in the relation between element resistance and element temperature, the resistance value increases rapidly from a specific temperature and the main body generates heat, and the heat lowers the conductivity by this heat to interrupt the current. When cooled, the conductivity returns and returns. When this is used, the current flowing to the first distributing stepping motor 4908 (4909) which is a load is limited to thereby make the first distributing stepping motor 4908 (4909) which is a load. ) Can be protected. A fuse can be mentioned as one that limits the current to the load. Although this fuse can cut off the current flowing to the load by melting when an overcurrent flows, it is necessary to replace the fuse itself with a new one.

  However, it is necessary to prevent a person who acquires an illegal gaming ball by illegally changing an important main control board 1310X for controlling the progress of the game, such as the pachinko machine 1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 256, main control board 1310 X is accommodated in main control board box 1320 configured of transparent cover body 1301 and transparent base body 1302, and cover body 1301 and base body 1302. And are crimped by a one-way screw or the like of the crimped portion 1303. The caulking unit 1303 is a sealing mechanism, and includes a plurality of caulking units. The main control board box 1320 can be closed by caulking the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 with a one-way screw or the like of the caulking portion 1303 using one sealing mechanism, and then, the main control board box 1320 is opened. It is necessary to destroy the sealing mechanism. That is, the cover body 1301 can not be removed from the base body 1302 unless the sealing mechanism is broken. Then, a fuse is mounted on the main control substrate 1310X, and if the fuse is blown, the crimped portion 1303 must be broken. However, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the game hall, the caulking portion 1303 of the main control board box 1320 provided in the pachinko machine 1 can not be broken, so the fuse can not be replaced and the game is played. It can not be done.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as in the case of the fuse, a poly switch is adopted as an element for limiting the overcurrent. Thus, when an overcurrent flows in the poly switch, the identification of the poly switch can limit the current flowing to the load to protect the load. That is, unlike a fuse, the poly switch itself due to an overcurrent is not destroyed and does not need to be replaced at all, and the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) which is a load can be protected, and the caulking portion 1303 needs to be destroyed. There is no

  In the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60), the main body has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is a lead linear shape in which two leads project downward from the bottom surface. In the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60), as described above, in the relation between the element resistance and the element temperature, the resistance value rapidly increases from the specific temperature and the main body generates heat, and the heat decreases the conductivity to cause the current It shuts off, and when the body cools, the conductivity returns and returns. Therefore, the thickness of the main body of the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60) is obtained by arranging the two leads of the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60) in the vertical direction in order to efficiently cool the heat of the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60). The surface which becomes smaller can be made vertical, which facilitates the convection of the heat generated by the main body of the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60) upward.

  Further, since a large current flows in the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60), the terminal for supplying power to the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909), each phase (φ1, / φ1 of the power supply first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) , .Phi.2, /.phi.2) are arranged in the vicinity of a connector 1310z having terminals and the like. This can contribute to reducing the influence of noise due to the current to the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) with respect to other electronic components mounted on the main control board 1310X.

  In addition, since the poly switch MPS 50 (MPS 60) can limit the current flowing to the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909), it can protect the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (4909) from overheating.

  In this embodiment, a poly switch MPS 50 is provided exclusively for the first distribution stepping motor 4908 in the first distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310 m of the main control board 1310 X, and a poly switch MPS 50 is provided for the second distribution stepping motor 4909. The poly switch MPS 60 is dedicated to one second distributed stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310 p of the main control board 1310 X, but instead, the collector terminals 2 of the first and second distributed stepping motor drive ICs 1310 n and 1310 q Even if one poly switch is provided between 4 and 9 and 11 and the corresponding terminals of the connectors 4908 c and 4909 c of the first and second split stepping motors 4908 and 4909 respectively, only one poly switch may be provided. Good.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a poly switch MPS 50 is provided exclusively for the first distribution stepping motor 4908 in the first distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310 m of the main control board 1310 X, and a second distribution stepping motor 4909 is provided. The poly switch MPS 60 is exclusively provided for the second split stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310 p of the main control board 1310 X, but instead is supplied to the first and second split stepping motor voltage switching circuits 1310 m and 1310 p respectively. The common poly switches may be dedicatedly provided for each of the motor power supplies of +12 V and +5 V, or supplied to the first and second split stepping motor voltage switching circuits 1310 m and 1310 p. With + 12V Common poly switch only for motor power may be configured to provide one dedicated.

  Also, for example, in the case of driving another stepping motor together with the first distribution stepping motor 4908 (the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven by the first distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 n and the other stepping motor is the other stepping motor drive IC In the case of driving by (1), the motor power supplied to the other stepping motor together with the first distributing stepping motor 4908 can be switched by the first distributing stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310 m. In this case, the common poly switch for the first distribution stepping motor 4908 and the other stepping motor is the poly switch MPS 50, and the motor power of +12 V or +5 V is other stepping with the first distribution stepping motor 4908 through this poly switch MPS 50 Each is supplied to the motor.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, unipolar stepping motors are used as the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909, but instead, bipolar stepping motors may be used. In this case, one poly switch is dedicated to each terminal to which motor power of +12 V and +5 V is supplied to the bipolar stepping motor.

Further, in the present embodiment, the poly switch employed as the resettable fuse is a PPTC (Polymer Positive Temperature) such as a polymer-based PTC (abbreviation of Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor.
The same effect as the poly switch described above can be obtained by adopting a ceramic PTC (abbreviation of positive temperature coefficient) element or a bimetal as a resettable fuse, although the element is an element of Coefficient.

  Incidentally, conventionally, the game control board (control board) is housed in the housing member (cover body) in the base member (base body), and the base box and the housing member are fixed by the caulking portion (sticking means). There has been proposed a gaming machine provided (for example, JP-A-2010-234125 (paragraph [0017], paragraph [0027], FIG. 7)). By the way, in the gaming machine described in this document, when a fuse is provided on the game control board (control board) accommodated in the board box as a countermeasure against the overcurrent, the fuse is blown and the base member (base body) is accommodated. There is a problem that the fuse can not be replaced and the game control board (control board) can not be used because the member (cover body) is fixed by the caulking portion (fixing means).

[Drive management block of first and second distributed stepping motors]
Next, drive management blocks of the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 will be described. FIG. 257 is a table for explaining the drive management block of the first distribution stepping motor 4908, and FIG. 258 is a table for explaining the drive management block of the second distribution stepping motor 4909.

  With set value 1, set value 2, set value 3, set value 4, set value 5 and set value 6, the table corresponding to the block that manages the drive of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 and the second distribution stepping motor 4909 The values are set to be different based on the relationship with the table corresponding to the block managing the drive of the electric drive source, and the first electric distribution piece 4835 and the second electric distribution piece 4840 which are disadvantageous for the player And stop time are set in advance so as to be different. This is because, in the case where the stop times of the first electric distribution piece 4835 and the second electric distribution piece 4840 which are advantageous for the player are set to be different, the probability is obtained by changing the time which is advantageous for the player a little. This is because it changes significantly.

  In the drive management block of the first distribution stepping motor 4908, for setting value 1, setting value 2, setting value 3, setting value 4, setting value 5, and setting value 6, setting value 1, setting value 2, and setting The excitation time of the value 3 is mutually changed, and in the drive management block of the second distribution stepping motor 4909, the excitation times of the set value 4, the set value 5 and the set value 6 are mutually changed. This is performed by separately performing the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 in which the excitation time is changed, which one of the first electric distribution piece 4835 and the second electric distribution piece 4840 is changed to It is because it can be made hard to be detected by the player.

  Here, among the setting value 1, setting value 2, setting value 3, setting value 4, setting value 5, and setting value 6, the drive management block which is previously set to setting value 1 will be described. The drive management blocks of the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 are stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM of the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 X. In the port output process of step S118 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms), main control MPU 1310a follows the drive management block to execute the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908, As driving control of 4909, rocking drive data PD0 to PD7 are output to first and second distribution stepping motor drive ICs 1310n and 1310q, and voltage switching control of first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 is performed first and second The signals of voltage switching 1 and 2 whose logic is set are output to the 2-way stepping motor voltage switching circuits 1310 m and 1310 p.

  As described above, the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 have D-cut surfaces formed on the rotary shafts 4908 a and 4909 a when φ1 and φ2 set to the reference excitation phase are excited (ON). The D-cut angular position is obtained by rotating the angle counterclockwise by 10 ° (tolerance ± 3 °) from the horizontal center line. In this embodiment, eight combinations of excitation of each phase of φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 of the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 described later (each of φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2) There exist the cases where all the phases are not excited), and the rotational position of the rotary shafts 4908a and 4909a can be determined by the combination of the excitation of each of the eight phases.

  In this embodiment, eight combinations of the excitation of each phase of φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 of the first and second distribution stepping motors 4908 and 4909 include combination 1: φ1 and φ2 excitation (ON), Combination 2: only φ2 excitation (ON), combination 3: φ2, / φ1 excitation (ON), combination 4: only / φ1 excitation (ON), combination 5: / φ1, / φ2 excitation (ON), combination 7 :: Only φ2 is excited (ON), and combination 8: / φ2, φ1 excitation (ON) exists.

  In this embodiment, the rotational directions and rotational positions of the rotational shafts 4908a and 4909a are defined as a drive management block formed of eight combinations of excitation of each phase, and according to this drive management block, the main control board 1310X is provided. PD0 to PD3 instructing main unit MPU 1310a to start and stop excitation of φ1, / φ1, φ2, and / φ2 of first distribution stepping motor 4908, and φ1, / φ1, φ2 and second distribution stepping motor 4909 Of swing drive data PD0 to PD7 which are 8-bit information including PD4 to PD7 instructing start / stop of excitation for / φ2, PD0 to PD3 are output to the first distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 n Pair PD4 to PD7 with the second distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310q. Output. At this time, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310X sets and outputs the logic of the signal of voltage switching 1 to the first distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310m according to the drive management block, and the second distribution stepping motor voltage By setting and outputting the logic of the signal of voltage switching 2 to the switching circuit 1310 p, φ 1, / φ 1, φ 2, and of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 with the operation voltage or the voltage switched to the stopping voltage. A current exciting L / φ2 is supplied to rotate the rotation shaft 4908a of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 clockwise, counterclockwise, or stop the rotation, and φ1 of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 , / Φ 1, φ 2, and / φ 2 by passing a current to excite the second split stepping motor The rotation shaft 4909a of 4909 is rotated clockwise, counterclockwise, or stopped. As a result, the first distribution stepping motor 4908 swings the first electric distribution piece 4835 and always shakes like a wiper (a wiper that always reciprocates between the position of the mechanical end on the left side and the position of the mechanical end on the right). While moving, the second distribution stepping motor 4909 swings the second electric distribution piece 4840 and always wipers (a wiper that always reciprocates between the position of the left mechanical end and the position of the vertically inverted mechanical end) Swing to the

[Drive management block of first distribution stepping motor]
As shown in FIG. 257, the drive management block of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 includes the management number (No.) of the drive management block, the rotation direction, the number of steps, the pulse width (milliseconds (ms)), and the excitation time (millimeters) Seconds (ms), excitation mode, voltage (V), and excitation phase designation. As the management number, No. 1 to No. It is regulated up to 20.

  Control No. 1 for rotation direction: stop, step number: none ("-" symbol in the figure), pulse width (ms): none ("-" symbol in the figure), excitation time (ms): 12, excitation mode: 2 Phase, voltage (V): +12 (operating voltage, described as “12” in the figure, the same applies hereinafter) Excitation phase designation: φ1, φ2 (in the figure, the phase to be excited is “o” symbol, the same applies hereinafter) It is prescribed. Control No. When the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven according to 1, the first electric distribution piece 4835 reaches the position of the mechanical end on the right side, and is distributed to the left path flowing to the left toward the front of the ball passage 4834 to perform the second distribution It is connected to the unit 4829b.

  Note that, as described above, the angles of the D-cut surface formed on the rotation shaft 4908a are made counterclockwise from the horizontal center line by exciting (ON) φ1 and φ2 set to the reference excitation phase. It becomes a position rotated by 10 ° (tolerance ± 3 °) and becomes a D-cut angular position. In the present embodiment, with the first electric distribution piece 4835 positioned at the mechanical end on the left side, the angle of the D cut surface formed on the rotation shaft 4908a is 10 ° counterclockwise from the horizontal center line (tolerance ± It is designed in advance to have a position rotated by 3 °) and a D-cut angular position.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, it is possible to determine the excitation phase of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 and the rotational position (excluding the position of each mechanical end) of the first electric distribution piece 4835. Therefore, when the first motor distribution piece 4835 rotates toward the position of the mechanical end on the left side, the φ1 and φ2 set in the reference excitation phase are excited (ON), thereby the first motor distribution piece When the first motor distribution piece 4835 rotates toward the position of the mechanical end on the right side while 4835 is at the position of the mechanical end on the left side, φ1 and φ2 set in the reference excitation phase are excited (ON) As a result, the first electric distribution piece 4835 becomes the position of the mechanical end on the right side.

  Control No. Direction of rotation: 2 CW (clockwise), number of steps: 1, pulse width (ms): 4, excitation time (ms): 4, excitation mode: 1 phase, voltage (V): +12 (operating voltage And excitation phase designation: φ2 is specified. Control No. When the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven according to 2, the rotation position of the rotation axis 4908a of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is CW (clockwise) by one step, and the rotation of the rotation axis 4908a is a gear mechanism (FIG. 240) (See FIGS. 247 and 248) to the first electric distribution piece 4835, and the first electric distribution piece 4835 moves from the position of the mechanical end on the right to the position of the mechanical end on the left by an angle equivalent to one step ( In other words, CCW (counterclockwise) rotates. Control No. No. 1 to management number No. If it progresses to 2, the excitation mode of 1st distribution stepping motor 4908 switches from 2 phases to 1 phase.

  Control No. 3, rotation direction: CW (clockwise), number of steps: 1, pulse width (ms): 4, excitation time (ms): 4, excitation mode: 2 phases, voltage (V): +12 (operating voltage And excitation phase designation: φ2, / φ1 are specified. Control No. When the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven according to 3, the rotation position of the rotation axis 4908a of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is CW (clockwise) by one step, and the rotation of the rotation axis 4908a is a gear mechanism (FIG. 240) (See FIGS. 247 and 248) to the first motor-driven distribution piece 4835. It rotates from the position of the first electric distribution piece 4835 rotated by 2 toward the position of the mechanical end on the left by an angle corresponding to one step (that is, CCW (counterclockwise)). Control No. 2 to the management number No. If it progresses to 3, the excitation mode of 1st distribution stepping motor 4908 will switch from 1 phase to 2 phases.

  Control No. Direction of rotation: CW: clockwise (CW), step number: 1, pulse width (ms): 4, excitation time (ms): 4, excitation mode: 1 phase, voltage (V): +12 (operating voltage And excitation phase designation: / φ1 is specified. Control No. When the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven according to 4, the rotation position of the rotation axis 4908a of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is CW (clockwise) by one step, and the rotation of the rotation axis 4908a is a gear mechanism (FIG. 240) (See FIGS. 247 and 248) to the first motor-driven distribution piece 4835. It rotates toward the position of the mechanical end on the left (that is, CCW (counterclockwise)) by an angle corresponding to one step from the position of the first electric distribution piece 4835 rotated by 3. Control No. 3 to the management number No. When the process proceeds to 4, the excitation mode of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 switches from two phases to one phase.

  Control No. 5, the rotational direction: CW (clockwise), number of steps: 1, pulse width (ms): 4, excitation time (ms): 0 (zero), excitation mode: two phases, voltage (V): +12 ( Operating voltage), excitation phase designation: / φ1, / φ2 are specified. Control No. When the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven according to 5, the rotation axis 4908a of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is at a rotational position CW (clockwise) by one step, and the rotation of the rotation axis 4908a is a gear mechanism (FIG. 240) (See FIGS. 247 and 248) to the first motor-driven distribution piece 4835. It rotates from the position of the first electric distribution piece 4835 rotated by 4 toward the position of the mechanical end on the left side by an angle corresponding to one step (that is, CCW (counterclockwise)). Control No. The position of the first electromotive distribution piece 4835 rotated by 5 is at a middle position in the range from the position of the left mechanical end to the position of the right mechanical end, and the first electromotive distribution piece 4835 is vertically inverted. It will be in the state of Control No. 4 to the management number No. If it progresses to 5, the excitation mode of 1st distribution stepping motor 4908 will switch from 1 phase to 2 phases.

  Control No. In 5, the excitation time (ms): 0 (zero) is specified. This is because, when the first electric distribution piece 4835 rotates to the position of the mechanical end on the left side, the first electric distribution piece 4835 is vertically inverted because the inertia of the first electric distribution piece 4835 is small. Immediately before, by weakening the torque of the first distribution stepping motor 4908, the control number No. 1 is obtained. This is to prevent the first electric distribution piece 4835 from rotating further than the position defined by the numeral 5, and to ensure the followability.

  Specifically, when the first motor-driven distribution piece 4835 rotates toward the position of the mechanical end on the left side by measurement with a high-speed camera, management number No. Before the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven in accordance with the conditions defined in 9, the first electric distribution piece 4835 reaches the position of the mechanical end on the left side, and the control number and the first electric distribution piece 4835 are obtained. We confirmed the fact that the correspondence with the rotational position of was broken. Therefore, immediately before the first electric distribution piece 4835 is vertically inverted, that is, with the control number No. By defining the excitation time (ms): 0 (zero) in 5 and weakening the torque of the first distribution stepping motor 4908, the correspondence between the control number and the rotational position of the first electric distribution piece 4835 is prevented from being broken. I figured out that I could do it.

  Control No. 6, rotation direction: CW (clockwise), number of steps: 1, pulse width (ms): 4, excitation time (ms): 4, excitation mode: 1 phase, voltage (V): +12 (operating voltage And excitation phase designation: / φ2 is specified. Control No. When the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven according to 6, the rotation axis 4908a of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is at a rotational position CW (clockwise) by one step, and the rotation of the rotation axis 4908a is a gear mechanism (FIG. 240) (See FIGS. 247 and 248) to the first motor-driven distribution piece 4835. It rotates from the position of the first electromotive distribution piece 4835 rotated by 5 toward the position of the mechanical end on the left side by an angle corresponding to one step (that is, CCW (counterclockwise)). Control No. No. 5 to management number No. When the process proceeds to 6, the excitation mode of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is switched from the two phase to the one phase.

  Control No. 7, rotation direction: CW (clockwise), number of steps: 1, pulse width (ms): 4, excitation time (ms): 4, excitation mode: 2 phases, voltage (V): +12 (operating voltage , Excitation phase designation: / φ2, φ1 are specified. Control No. When the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven according to 7, the rotation position of the rotation axis 4908a of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is CW (clockwise) by one step, and the rotation of the rotation axis 4908a is a gear mechanism (FIG. 240) (See FIGS. 247 and 248) to the first motor-driven distribution piece 4835. 6 from the position of the first electric distribution piece 4835 rotated by 6 toward the position of the mechanical end on the left side by an angle corresponding to one step (that is, CCW (counterclockwise)).

This can contribute to the reduction of the temperature rise of the package of the first distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 n. Therefore, failure of the first to fourth NPN Darlington transistors due to heat can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the positions of the mechanical ends overlap between the excitation phase of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 and the rotational position of the first electric distribution piece 4835, but the positions of the mechanical ends In order not to overlap, the excitation phase of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 and the rotational position of the first electric distribution piece 4835 may be determined. For example, when the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven, as described above, the rotation shaft 4908a of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is driven by the first gear mechanism (see FIGS. 240, 247, and 248). As it is configured to be transmitted to electric distribution piece 4835, in this gear mechanism, the gear ratio (current gear ratio) in the above-described embodiment is changed to reduce the number of steps so that the positions of the mechanical ends do not overlap. The first electric distribution stepping motor 4908 excites a range in which the first electric distribution piece 4835 always swings in a wiper shape (a wiper shape which always reciprocates between the position of the left mechanical end and the position of the right mechanical end). And the rotational position of the first motor distribution piece 4835 can be determined, and the first vibration Only it can be defined driving management block of the stepping motor 4908.

As a result, even if the second distribution stepping motor 4909 is constantly driven, the second distribution stepping motor 4909 can be prevented (suppressed) from excessively generating heat, so that the second distribution stepping motor 4909 has a defect or a failure. It can be prevented from occurring.

  Here, the management number No. in the setting value 1 described above. At 21, an excitation time (ms): 428 is set in advance. On the other hand, the management number No. in the setting value 2 is. In 21, the excitation time (ms): 428 is set in advance. In 21, an excitation time (ms): 428 is set in advance. In 21, an excitation time (ms): 420 is set in advance. In 21, an excitation time (ms): 416 is set in advance. In 21, an excitation time (ms): 412 is preset.

  The management number No. Following No. 21, again, the control number No. Return to 1 and enter the management number No. 1 to control number No. The second distribution stepping motor 4909 is repeatedly driven according to the conditions defined in 21. The second motor distribution piece 4840 is a wiper that constantly reciprocates between the position of the left mechanical end and the vertically inverted position of the mechanical end. Rock in the shape of Then, for the time when the second motorized distribution piece 4840 stops at the position of the mechanical end which is inverted in the vertical direction, the control number No. 4 is used. Excitation time (ms) specified in No. 20: 12, control number no. The excitation time (ms) specified in No. 21: 428, and the control number no. The excitation time (ms) specified in 1 is 452 ms plus 12 and the voltage is switched from +12 V, which is the operating voltage, to +5 V, which is the stopping voltage, and stops at the position of the mechanical end on the left side The time is management number No. Excitation time (ms) specified in 10: 12, control number no. The excitation time (ms) specified in No. 11: 32 and the control number no. The excitation time (ms) specified in 12 is 48 ms plus 4. The voltage is switched from +12 V, which is the operating voltage, to +5 V, which is the stopping voltage. Thus, although the stop time at the position of the mechanical end on the left side is different from the stop time at the position of the mechanical end inverted in the vertical direction, the voltage is always the operating voltage when the second electric distribution piece 4840 stops. The voltage is switched from +12 V to +5 V which is a stopping voltage.

  In addition, the second electric distribution piece 4840 is stopped (that is, the rotation shaft 4909a of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 is stopped), and the management number No. 4 is stopped. 1, management number No. 10, management number No. 11, management number No. 12, management number No. 20, and management number No. Two phases are defined in the excitation mode of No. 21, and control number No. 1, management number No. 10, management number No. 11, management number No. 12, management number No. 20, and management number No. In the excitation phase designation of No. 21, φ1 and φ2 are defined. 1, management number No. 10, management number No. 12, and management number No. For the voltage of 20, +12 V is defined. 11, and management number No. The voltage of 21 defines + 5V. That is, when the second electric distribution piece 4840 is stopped (when the rotation shaft 4909a of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 is stopped), the excitation mode always has two phases, the excitation phase, regardless of the voltage level. The second distribution stepping motor 4909 is driven as φ1 and φ2 as designated.

  In addition to power-on, at the time of power recovery when power is recovered by power failure and momentary power failure, management number No. 1 to control number No. 21 among the rotation directions: management number No. which is a management number prescribed as stop. 1, management number No. 10, management number No. 11, management number No. 12, management number No. 20, and management number No. The control number No. 21 starts with one control number. The second distribution stepping motor 4909 is driven according to the condition defined in the management number one by one toward the direction 21. And, management number No. Following No. 21, the management number No. 1, management number No. The second distribution stepping motor 4909 is driven in accordance with each condition defined by the management number one before the one management number, and the management number No. 2. 1 to control number No. The second distribution stepping motor 4909 is repeatedly driven in accordance with the conditions defined in FIG. The “one management number” may be predetermined as an initial value (default), or a random number is acquired at the time of power recovery, and the acquired random number is subjected to a predetermined operation according to the acquired random number. It may be determined based on the result obtained by execution, or the unique ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM of the main control MPU 1310a may be extracted and determined based on the extracted ID code.

  The game backup information may include the management number immediately before the power shutoff of the pachinko machine 1 (including a power failure and an instantaneous blackout). In this case, the main control MPU 1310a reads the management number from the game backup information at the time of power recovery, and starts driving the second distribution stepping motor 4909 according to the condition defined by the read management number.

  In the present embodiment, when the rotation shaft 4909a of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 is rotated CW (clockwise) or CCW (counterclockwise), φ1, φ2, / φ1, / of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 Although the excitation to φ2 is performed as so-called 1-2 phase excitation, it may be performed by 1-1 phase excitation or 2-2 phase excitation. For example, in the case of performing 1-1 phase excitation with CW (clockwise), when excited in the order of φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2, the first to fourth of the second distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 q The diodes convert the back electromotive force from φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 of the second split stepping motor 4909 into heat in the order of the first diode, the third diode, the second diode, and the fourth. Become a diode of Thereby, as described above, the chip in which the first diode and the second diode are in a pair and the chip in which the third diode and the fourth diode are in a pair can alternately generate heat. This can contribute to the reduction of the temperature rise of the package of the second distribution stepping motor drive IC 1310 q. Therefore, failure of the first to fourth NPN Darlington transistors due to heat can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the positions of the mechanical ends overlap in the excitation phase of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 and the rotational position of the second electric distribution piece 4840, but the positions of the mechanical ends The excitation phase of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 and the rotational position of the second electric distribution piece 4840 may be determined so as not to overlap with each other. For example, when the second distribution stepping motor 4909 is driven, as described above, the rotation shaft 4909a of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 is transmitted to the second electric distribution piece 4840 via the gear mechanism (see FIG. 241). In this gear mechanism, the gear ratio (current gear ratio) in the above-described embodiment is changed to reduce the number of steps so that the position of each mechanical end is not overlapped. The excitation phase of the second distribution stepping motor 4909, and the range in which the 4840 is always swung like a wiper (a wiper that always reciprocates between the position of the left mechanical end and the position of the vertically inverted mechanical end), 2) The rotational position of the two electric distribution pieces 4840 can be determined, and the second distribution step It is possible to define the drive control block Gumota 4909.

  Incidentally, conventionally, there has been proposed a gaming machine provided with a sorting device for driving a solenoid and sorting a gaming ball to a specific area by a sorting member (for example, JP-A-2016-036378 (paragraph [0029], FIG. 4). By the way, in the gaming machine described in this document, although the distributing member is driven by the solenoid, the solenoid is originally released by the moving speed of the distributing member when driven and the restoring force of the spring released. There is a difference in the moving speed of the distributing member returning to the position, and there are individual differences among the solenoids, so it is not possible to stabilize the distribution ratio by the distribution device and to finely adjust the distribution ratio. There was a problem that.

[Method of mounting field effect transistor]
Next, a method of arranging the field effect transistor MF50 of the first distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310 m and the field effect transistor MF60 of the second distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310 p will be briefly described. FIG. 259 is a schematic view of a method of mounting a field effect transistor.

  As shown in FIG. 259, the main control board box 1320 of the main control unit 1300 is composed of a transparent cover body 1301 and a transparent base body 1302, and accommodates the main control board 1310X. Thus, in the state where the main control board 1310X is accommodated in the main control board box 1320, the distance dimension from the mounting surface of the main control board 1310X in the present embodiment to the back surface (ceiling) of the cover 1301 is 15.0 mm. It is necessary to mount various electronic components on the main control board 1310X within this distance dimension.

  However, the package of the field effect transistors MF50 and MF60 adopted in this embodiment is a so-called TO system, and the height of the main body of the field effect transistors MF50 and MF60 is large, and the package protrudes from the main body of the field effect transistors MF50 and MF60 If the various terminals to be mounted are mounted on the mounting surface of the main control board 1310X as they are, the main bodies of the field effect transistors MF50 and MF60 interfere with the back surface (ceiling) of the cover 1301 to make the main control board 1310X a main control board box 1320 Can not be accommodated.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, various terminals of the field effect transistors MF50 and MF60 are bent at a predetermined angle using a predetermined jig and then mounted on the mounting surface of the main control substrate 1310X. As a result, the main body of the field effect transistors MF50 and MF60 is mounted on the mounting surface of the main control substrate 1310X while maintaining the predetermined distance dimension d with the main body of the field effect transistors MF50 and MF60 being inclined. The main body does not interfere with the back surface (ceiling) of the cover 1301 and the main control board 1310X can be accommodated in the main control board box 1320, and the main body of the field effect transistor MF50 is inclined obliquely. Can be visually recognized through the transparent cover 1301 and resistances MR52 and MR53 (including the part number attached to the mounting surface) which are electronic components mounted on the field effect transistor Resistors MR62 and MR63 (on the mounting surface) are electronic components mounted under the body of the MF60. By part number also includes.) Was, can be viewed through a predetermined distance dimension field effect transistor MF50 to d are arranged keeping became tilted obliquely, MF60 transparent cover member 1301 from between the main body.

FIG. 260 is a circuit showing a vibration detection circuit.

  In the game board 5, an upper vibration detection switch 3005 and a lower vibration detection switch 3006a and 3006b are arranged at predetermined positions (see FIG. 237). A circuit that can set sensitivity for detecting vibration is provided on panel relay substrate 1710. As shown in FIG. 260, the panel relay substrate 1710 can set the sensitivity of vibration detection by the upper vibration detection switch 3005, and the sensitivity of vibration detection by the upper vibration detection switch sensitivity setting circuit 1710za and the lower vibration detection switch 3006a. The lower vibration detection switch sensitivity setting circuit 1710zb can be set, and the lower vibration detection switch sensitivity setting circuit 1710zc can set the sensitivity of vibration detection by the lower vibration detection switch 3006b.

  The upper vibration detection switch 3005 is mounted near the upper portion of the left side wall of the back box 3010 as described above, and the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a is mounted near the lower portion of the left side wall of the back box 3010 as described above There is. As described above, the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection switch 3006a are attached with the lower vibration detection switch 3006a. By swinging or hitting the pachinko machine 1, vibration is applied to the pachinko machine 1 to change the course of the game balls flowing down the game area 5a defined in the game board 5, and various prizes provided in the game board 5 It is possible to detect an illegal act to enter the mouth or gate, and in particular, the game ball enters the specific receiving port 4855v of the distribution disc 4853 provided in the ball swirl type distribution device 4843 in the lower layer game zone 4825 It is possible to detect a fraudulent act of applying vibration to the pachinko machine 1 by shaking or striking the pachinko machine 1 so that it can be balled.

  On the other hand, in the lower vibration detection switch 3006b, as described above, the lower vibration detection switch 3006b is attached to the front of the base that is the lower portion of the right side wall of the back box 3010 and becomes the bottom plate of the back box 3010 . As described above, the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b applies vibration to the pachinko machine 1 by shaking or striking the pachinko machine 1 in the same manner as the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a. It is possible to change the course of the game balls flowing down the game area 5a, which is divided into zones, and detect fraudulent acts to enter the various winning openings and gates provided on the game board 5, especially right-handed By placing the gaming ball toward the ball receiving recess 4809 formed on the rotating ball receiving member 4808 in the game zone 4824 and swinging or tapping the pachinko machine 1 so that the ball can be entered into the V prize hole 4810 It is possible to detect a fraudulent act of applying vibration to the pachinko machine 1.

  Here, since the sensitivity setting circuit for upper vibration detection switch 1710za, the sensitivity setting circuit for lower vibration detection switch 1710zb, and the sensitivity setting circuit for lower vibration detection switch 1710zc have the same circuit configuration, the sensitivity settings for upper vibration detection switch In the description of the circuit 1710za, the lower vibration detection switch sensitivity setting circuit 1710zb, and the lower vibration detection switch sensitivity setting circuit 1710zc, the lower vibration detection switch sensitivity setting circuit 1710zb is followed by the reference numerals regarding the upper vibration detection switch sensitivity setting circuit 1710za The reference symbols relating to the lower vibration detection switch sensitivity setting circuit 1710 zc are shown in parentheses.

  The upper vibration detection sensor, which is a detection signal from the upper vibration detection switch 3005, and the lower vibration detection sensor 1, which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006a, become signals wired or connected at the panel relay substrate 1710 and vibrate. The detection sensor 1 is transmitted to the main control board 1310X, and is input to the main control MPU 1310a via the above-described main control input circuit 1310b. Further, the lower vibration detection sensor 2 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b is transmitted to the main control substrate 1310 X as the vibration detection sensor 2 in the panel relay substrate 1710, and via the above-mentioned main control input circuit 1310 b It is input to the main control MPU 1310a. The main control MPU 1310 a is a vibration detection sensor 1 which is a wired-OR connected signal in the switch input process of step S104 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 which is repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms), The vibration detection sensor 2 is read, and this read-out wired connection is made in an abnormal vibration two-step notification process to be described later in the fraud detection process in step S112 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. Based on the vibration detection sensor 1 which is a signal, it is determined whether or not there is a dog tick, and an abnormal vibration two-step notification process described later in the fraud detection process of step S112 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. In this, this read vibration The presence or absence of the dog pie is determined based on the outlet sensor 2 (in the abnormal vibration two-step informing process for the special winning opening and the abnormal vibration two-step informing process for the sorting device, the fraudulent action is detected as a fraudulent action detection when the dodsy goto is detected. If the flag FD-FLG is set to the value 1 while no detection is detected, the cheating detection flag FD-FLG is set to the value 0 as no cheating detection), and the main control side shown in FIG. In the port output process of step S118 in the timer interrupt process, the determination result (presence or absence of a dock) is output to the external terminal board 558 described above, and the peripheral control board command of step S120 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. In the transmission process, a command to convey the determination result that the dock is It adapted to transmit to the sides control board 1510.

  The panel relay substrate 1710 is supplied with +35 V from the main control substrate 1310X and is the same ground (GND) as the ground (GND) of the main control substrate 1310X. The ground (GND) to the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection switches 3006 a and 3006 b is electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the panel relay substrate 1710.

  The sensitivity setting circuit 1710za (1710zb, 1710zc) for the upper vibration detection switch mainly includes the resistors MR70 to MR73 (MR80 to MR83, MR90 to MR93), the Zener diode MD70 (MD80, MD90), and the shunt regulator MIC70 (MIC80, MIC90). It comprises an electrolytic capacitor MC70 (MC80, MC90). The shunt regulator MIC 70 (MIC 80, MIC 90) has a reduced temperature drift due to the ambient temperature, and can create and supply a regulated power supply that is held at a constant voltage to the load.

  The other end of the resistor MR70 (MR80, MR90) whose one end is electrically connected to the +35 V power supply line is the cathode terminal of a Zener diode MD70 (MD80, MD90) whose anode terminal is electrically connected to the ground (GND) It is electrically connected and also electrically connected to one end of the resistor MR71 (MR81, MR91). The other end of the resistor MR71 (MR81, MR91) is electrically connected to one end of the resistor MR72 (resistor MR82, MR82) and electrically connected to the K terminal which is a cathode terminal of the shunt regulator MIC70 (MIC80, MIC90). It is connected and supplied to the upper vibration detection switch 3005 (3006a, 3006b) as a vibration detection power supply 1 (vibration detection power supply 2 and vibration detection power supply 3). The positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor MC70 (MC80, MC90) whose negative terminal is electrically connected to the ground (GND) is electrically connected to the line supplying the vibration detection power supply 1 (vibration detection power supply 2 and vibration detection power supply 3). Are connected to each other, and ripples of the vibration detection power supply 1 (the vibration detection power supply 2 and the vibration detection power supply 3) are removed and smoothed. The electrolytic capacitor MC70 (MC80, MC90) also plays a role as a low pass filter.

  The other end of the resistor MR72 (MR82, MR92) is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR73 (MR83, MR93) whose one end is electrically connected to the ground (GND), and the shunt regulator MIC70 (MIC80, MIC80, It is electrically connected to the REF terminal which is the reference voltage input terminal of the MIC 90). The A terminal, which is the anode terminal of the shunt regulator MIC70 (MIC80, MIC90), is electrically connected to the ground (GND).

  The vibration detection power supply 1 is determined by 2.5V × (MR72 + MR73) / MR73 by the resistance values of the resistors MR72 and MR73. The vibration detection power supply 2 is determined by the resistance value of the resistors MR 82 and MR 83 in the same manner as the vibration detection power supply 1 by 2.5 V × (MR 82 + MR 83) ÷ MR 83.

  The upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection switches 3006a and 3006b can change the sensitivity of vibration detection by the supplied power, and the sensitivity setting circuit for upper vibration detection switch 1710za and the lower vibration detection switch The sensitivity setting circuit 1710zb and the sensitivity setting circuit for lower vibration detection switch 1710zc can respectively set the sensitivity of vibration detection by the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection switches 3006a and 3006b.

  In the present embodiment, the upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a are arranged on the panel relay substrate 1710 as described above. It is wired-OR connected and transmitted to the main control board 1310X as the vibration detection sensor 1, and is input to the main control MPU 1310a via the main control side input circuit. This is because one or both of the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection switch 3006a do not react at all, depending on the mode (the hitting position, the hitting angle, the hitting strength, etc.) by the dog radio. Since one or both may react excessively, the sensitivity of the vibration detection of the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the sensitivity of the vibration detection of the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a are mutually compensated.

  In addition, the lower vibration detection sensor 2 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006b is transmitted to the main control substrate 1310X as the vibration detection sensor 2 in the panel relay substrate 1710 as described above, and the main control side input circuit 1310b is It is input to the main control MPU 1310 a via This is because the lower vibration detection switch 3006b may not react at all or may excessively react depending on the mode (dipping position, tapping angle, tapping strength, etc.) by the drag torque. This is to make it possible to adjust the sensitivity of vibration detection.

  The resistances of the resistors MR72 and MR73, the resistances of the resistors MR82 and MR83, and the resistances of the resistors MR92 and MR93 are respectively selected by various tests, and the sensitivity of the vibration detection of the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration The sensitivity of vibration detection of the detection switch 3006 a and the sensitivity of vibration detection of the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b are respectively set.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a Although wired or connected at 1710 and transmitted as the vibration detection sensor 1 to the main control board 1310 X and input to the main control MPU 1310 a via the main control side input circuit 1310 b, the wired relay is not connected at the panel relay board 1710. It may be independently transmitted to the main control board 1310X as it is, and may be input to the main control MPU 1310a via the main control side input circuit 1310b. In this way, the mode of the main operation is mainly determined using a combination of the upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006a. The control MPU 1310 can determine and transmit the information to the outside (from the external terminal board 558 to the hall computer installed in the game hall).

  For example, in the case where both the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a do not react, the 0th (zero) tapping mode in which the dog rock is not performed and the upper vibration detection switch 3005 react. If the lower vibration detection switch 3006a does not react, the first tapping mode, which may have been performed, may occur. If the upper vibration detection switch 3005 does not react and the lower vibration detection switch 3006a responds, the dogggot is performed In the case where both the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a react, there may be mentioned the third striking mode in which the drag is performed.

[Error notification of various distribution units]
Next, abnormality notification of the first, second, and third distribution units 4829a, 4829b, and 4829c will be briefly described. As described above, the first distribution unit 4829a is configured to be divided into the right track flowing to the right and the left track flowing to the left toward the front of the ball passage 4834 according to the swing timing of the first electric distribution piece 4835 It is done. As described above, the first electric distribution piece 4835 always swings in the form of a wiper (a wiper that constantly reciprocates between the position of the mechanical end on the left side and the position of the mechanical end on the right). The first distribution unit 4829a is provided with an optical type first electric distribution plate sensor (not shown) for detecting whether or not it is detected. As described above, the second distribution unit 4829 b is configured to be divided into the right back passage 4841 and the left-hand passage 4842 according to the swing timing of the second electric distribution piece 4840. As described above, the second electric distribution piece 4840 always swings in the form of a wiper (a wiper that constantly reciprocates between the position of the left mechanical end and the position of the vertically inverted mechanical end), An optical second motor-driven split sensor (not shown) for detecting whether or not it is oscillating is provided in the second distributor 4829b. As described above, the third distributing unit 4829c is configured such that the rotating member 4846 of the ball swing type distributing device 4843 is always rotated, and is an optical rotating member (not shown) that detects whether it is rotating or not. A sensor for the third distribution unit 4829c is provided.

  Detection signals from the first and second motor distribution split sensors and the rotation member sensor are input to the main control board 1310X, and are input to the main control MPU 1310a via the above-described main control input circuit 1310b. The main control MPU 1310a causes the main control MPU 1310a to execute the switch input process of step S104 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 which is repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms). The detection signals from the sensor and the sensor for the rotating member are read, and in the fraud detection process in step S112 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, the read first and second sensors for the electric distribution piece, and It is determined whether the swing abnormality or the rotation abnormality is detected based on the detection signal from the rotating member sensor, and the result of the determination (the first motor distribution piece in the port output process of step S118 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. Whether the 4835 rocking movement has occurred or not, the second electric distribution piece 4840 rocking movement The main control timer interrupt shown in FIG. 177 individually outputs a lighting signal to the corresponding decoration lamp provided on the game board 5 with or without occurrence of normal occurrence or presence or absence of occurrence of rotational operation abnormality of the rotation member 4846). In the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in the process, the determination result (a rocking operation abnormality occurrence of the first electric distribution piece 4835, a rocking movement abnormality occurrence of the second electric distribution piece 4840, or a rotation operation of the rotating member 4846 A command to convey the occurrence of an abnormality is sent to the peripheral control board 1510.

  The main control board 1310 X (main control MPU 1310 a) lights up in a red light emission mode the corresponding first electric distribution decoration lamp provided on the game board 5 when there is an occurrence of a rocking operation abnormality of the first electric distribution distribution 4835 When the second electric distribution piece 4840 swings abnormally, the corresponding second electric distribution piece decoration lamp provided on the game board 5 lights in green, and the rotation member 4846 rotates abnormally. The corresponding decoration lamp for the rotary member provided on the game board 5 is lit in a blue light emission mode. In addition, using a single full-color LED, a red LED element is associated with the presence or absence of the occurrence of the rocking operation abnormality of the first electric distribution piece 4835 and notified, and the green LED element is rocked of the second electric distribution piece 4840 It is also possible to associate and notify the blue LED element as the presence or absence of the rotational operation abnormality occurrence of the rotary member 4846 in association with the presence or absence of the operation abnormality occurrence.

  The peripheral control board 1510 is a command for transmitting the occurrence of the rocking operation abnormality of the first electric distribution piece 4835 from the main control board 1310X, the generation of the rocking movement abnormality of the second electric distribution piece 4840, or the generation of the rotation movement abnormality of the rotating member 4846. Is received, control is made to flow the notification sound for the first electric distribution piece from the various speakers when there is a rocking operation abnormality of the first electric distribution piece 4835 based on the command, and the second electric distribution piece 4840 When there is a rocking movement abnormality, control is made to flow a second electric distribution piece alarm sound different from the first electric distribution piece alarm sound from the various speakers, and when there is a rotation movement abnormality of the rotating member 4846 Control is performed such that notification sounds for a rotating member different from the notification sound for the first electric distribution piece and the notification sound for the second electric distribution piece are emitted from various speakers. The tone colors of the first electric distribution warning sound, the second electric distribution warning sound, and the rotation sound of the rotation member are different.

  Thus, by notifying the occurrence of the rocking movement abnormality of the first electric distribution piece 4835, the rocking movement abnormality of the second electric distribution piece 4840, and the rotation movement abnormality of the rotating member 4846, the presence or absence of the abnormality generation can be It can be promptly notified to the store clerk or attendant of the game hall. In addition, even if the fraudulent act of stopping the operation of the first motorized distribution piece 4835, the second motorized distribution piece 4840, and the rotating member 4846 by a wire or a string is performed, the area to be advantageous to the fraudster It is possible to quickly notify the salesperson or attendant of the gaming hall of the status of being distributed.

  Further, the main control board 1310X (main control MPU 1310a) may output a signal to be transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal board 558, when there is an occurrence of the rocking operation abnormality of the first electric distribution piece 4835. A signal to be transmitted to the hall computer may be output via the external terminal plate 558 when there is a rocking operation abnormality of the second electric distribution piece 4840, and when there is a rotation operation abnormality of the rotating member 4846, the outside A signal to be transmitted to the hall computer may be output through the terminal plate 558. Such signals can be individually output and transmitted to the hall computer through the external terminal plate 558, but any one of the first motor distribution piece 4835, the second motor distribution piece 4840, and the rotary member 4846. When an abnormality occurs in one (that is, although it is not possible to identify the target in which the abnormality occurred), a signal may be output and transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal plate 558. .

  Further, in the case where the game board 5 is provided with a display device such as a liquid crystal display device, the peripheral control board 1510 causes the abnormal operation of the first electric distribution piece 4835 from the main control board 1310 X, the second electric distribution piece Upon receiving a command to convey the occurrence of the rocking movement abnormality of 4840 or the rotation movement abnormality of the rotating member 4846, if there is the rocking movement abnormality occurrence of the first electric distribution piece 4835 based on the command, that effect is notified. Control may be performed to display a message on the display device, or control may be performed to display a message notifying that effect on the display device if there is an occurrence of a rocking operation abnormality of the second electric distribution piece 4840. Alternatively, when there is an abnormality in the rotational operation of the rotational member 4846, control is performed to display a message notifying that effect on the display device. There. When one of the first electric distribution piece 4835, the second electric distribution piece 4840, and the rotation member 4846 from the main control board 1310X has an abnormality (that is, the peripheral control board 1510 is abnormal). Control may be performed to display a message notifying occurrence of an abnormality on the display device) (although the target in which the

[How to monitor Dokki Goto]
Next, a method for monitoring a dog tick will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 261 is a flow chart showing an example of the vibration detection effective timer process for the sorting apparatus, FIG. 262 is a flow chart showing an example of the abnormal vibration two-step notification process for the sorting apparatus, and FIG. FIG. 264 is a flowchart showing an example of notification processing, and FIG. 264 is a flowchart showing an example of vibration determination processing. In addition, the vibration detection effective timer processing for the sorting device, the abnormal vibration two-step notification processing for the sorting device, and the abnormal vibration two-step notification processing for the special winning opening are the irregularities in step S112 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. It is performed as one process of an action detection process.

  As described above, the determination of the presence or absence of the dog spin is a pachinko machine so that the game ball can enter the specific receiving port 4855v of the distribution disc 4853 provided in the ball swirl type distribution device 4843 in the lower layer game zone 4825 1 Detecting fraudulent activity that applies vibration to the pachinko machine 1 by shaking or hitting it, detection signals from the upper vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a, and the rotating ball in the right hitting game zone 4824 Vibration is applied to the pachinko machine 1 by shaking or striking the pachinko machine 1 so that the game ball can be placed toward the ball receiving recess 4809 formed on the receiving member 4808 and entered into the V prize hole 4810. A detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b capable of detecting an illegal act to be added; The main control MPU1310a performs the main control board 1310X based.

  In the lower layer gaming zone 4825, as described above, the passage type first ball sensor 4870a for detecting game balls passing through the right course in the ball passage 4834 of the first distribution unit 4829a, and the right of the second distribution unit 4829b A passing type second ball sensor 4870b is provided for detecting game balls passing through the inner passage 4841. The main control MPU 1310a detects the game balls by these first and second ball sensors 4870a and 4870b. It is possible to manage the number of balls that have entered the distribution device 4843 of the distribution unit 4829c of No.3.

  For this reason, the main control MPU 1310a shakes the pachinko machine 1 so that the game ball can enter the specific receiving port 4855v of the distributing disc 4853 provided in the ball swirl type distributing device 4843 in the lower layer game zone 4825. The fraud in step S112 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 is repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms) to determine the fraudulent behavior (presence or absence of dodukigot) that applies vibration to the pachinko machine 1 by striking or striking. The vibration detection effective timer processing for the sorting device in the action detection processing is performed, and then the abnormal vibration two-step notification processing for the sorting device is performed and notified.

  When the sorting device vibration detection valid timer process in the fraud detection process is started, as shown in FIG. 261, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not there is a ball passing to the sorting device (step S420). In this determination, in the switch input process of step S104 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, the passage detecting the game ball passing the right course in the ball passage 4834 of the first distribution unit 4829a in the lower layer game zone 4825 The detection signal from the first ball sensor 4870a of the second type and the detection signal from the second ball sensor 4870b of the second type for detecting gaming balls passing through the right rear passage 4841 of the second distribution unit 4829b are read If it is determined that there is no ball passing, the present routine is ended as it is, but if it is determined that there is ball passing based on any one of the detection signals, the start of effective timer VT1 is set. (Step S422), this routine ends. The valid timer VT1 is preset to 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds), and is subtracted in the timer subtraction process of step S102 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. Since the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 is repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms), the value of effective timer VT1 is decremented by 4 in the timer subtraction process of step S102, and the value 0 (zero When it becomes second), it means that effective timer VT1 has passed.

  Since the main control MPU 1310a is configured to perform the determination in step S422 each time this routine is performed, 30000 can be set by repeatedly starting the valid timer VT1 every time the ball passes to the sorting apparatus. It will reset millisecond (30 seconds).

  Subsequently, when the distribution apparatus abnormal vibration two-step notification process is started, as shown in FIG. 262, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the valid timer VT1 has passed 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds). (Step S430). This determination is performed based on whether the value of the valid timer VT1 is subtracted in the timer subtraction process of step S102 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. When it is determined that 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds) have elapsed when the value is 0 (zero seconds), 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds) have elapsed when the value of the valid timer VT1 is not 0 (zero seconds). It is determined that there is not.

  In the determination of step S430, when the value of the valid timer VT1 is 0 (zero seconds), that is, when it is determined that 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds) has elapsed, the main control MPU 1310a ends the present routine as it is If the value of the valid timer VT1 is not 0 (zero seconds), that is, if it is determined that 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds) have not elapsed, vibration determination processing is performed (step S432). In this vibration determination processing, the detailed description will be described later, but the vibration detection read in the switch input processing in step S104 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 177 which is repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms) The upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a process the vibration detection sensor 1 which is a wired OR connected signal as effective. In this case, each time the switch input processing of step S104 is performed, the number of times when the read logic of the vibration detection sensor 1 is the detection logic is counted by the vibration counter VC. In the present embodiment, the vibration counter VC is read each time the switch input processing in step S104 is performed when the vibration detection sensor 2 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006b is processed as effective. Since the number of times when the logic of the vibration detection sensor 2 is the detection logic is also counted, it is a common counter.

  Following step S432, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not there is abnormal vibration (step S434). This determination is performed based on the value of the vibration counter VC counted in the vibration determination process of step S430, and when there is abnormal vibration when the value of the vibration counter VC reaches the determination value (the value 4 in the present embodiment) On the other hand, when the value of the vibration counter VC does not reach the determination value (in the present embodiment, the value 4), it is determined that there is no abnormal vibration.

  In the determination of step S434, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the value of the vibration counter VC has not reached the determination value (in the present embodiment, the value 4), the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is a value 0 (zero). It is determined whether there is any (step S436). The abnormal vibration counter AVC counts the number of times of determination as abnormal vibration, and is stored in a general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a. The abnormal vibration counter AVC is reset to an initial value (value 0 (zero)) at the time of power recovery at power on of the pachinko machine 1 or at the time of power recovery after a power failure or at the end of the big hit gaming state (instantly At the time of power recovery after a momentary blackout, if the momentary blackout period is short (for example, within a few seconds), the abnormal vibration counter AVC is not reset, and the blackout period is long even if it can not be said that a blackout In the case (for example, in the case of a period of several tens of seconds), the abnormal vibration counter AVC is reset). When the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is the value 0 (zero) at the time of determination in step S434, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the number of times determined as abnormal vibration is zero, and the player has not made a goothing.

  When it is determined in step S436 that the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is the value 0 (zero), the main control MPU 1310a ends the present routine as it is.

  On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines in the determination of step S434 that the value of the vibration counter VC has reached the determination value (in the present embodiment, the value 4), the value 1 is added to the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC. (Increment, step S438), it is determined whether the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is equal to or less than the threshold TH (step S440). The threshold value TH is set to a value of 5, so that the notification method can be changed between when the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC exceeds the threshold value TH and when it does not exceed the threshold value TH. .

  In the determination of step S440, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is less than or equal to the threshold TH, that is, when the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC does not exceed the threshold TH or the determination of step S436. If the main control MPU 1310a determines that the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is not 0 (zero), the main control MPU 1310a sets the first notification mode as a weak notification (step S442), and ends this routine.

  In the first notification mode, in the early stage of detecting the doglike, the player does not feel uncomfortable for the player who is playing the game with the pachinko machine that is adjacent to the pachinko machine that is doing the dogking. When a store clerk or clerk passes through the front of the pachinko machine 1 that is doing a dapplet, it can notify that effect, for example, in the door frame top unit 450 provided in the door frame 3 shown in FIG. 91A. A plurality of LEDs mounted respectively on the door frame top central decorative substrate 455 and the door frame top left decorative substrate 456 are set to emit light in red for 5 minutes. In addition, a plurality of LEDs mounted on various other decorative substrates provided in the door frame 3 and a plurality of LEDs mounted on various decorative substrates provided in the game board 5 have light emission modes along with the progression of effects. There is.

  When such a light emission mode is performed for 5 minutes, although it returns to the contents (light emission mode) along with the progress of the original effect, while the light emission mode according to the first notification mode proceeds, Since the content (light emission mode) along with the progress is also in progress, the content (light emission mode) that has advanced from this original effect for only 5 minutes without returning to the content (light emission mode) of the original effect just before switching to the first notification mode It becomes an aspect) and switches.

  The main control MPU 1310 a creates a weak thick alert command divided into the alert display serving as the first alert mode, and stores it as the transmit information in the transmission information storage area described above. Main control MPU 1310a reads transmission information from the transmission information storage area described above in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, and performs peripheral control using this transmission information as the main cycle serial data. Transmit to substrate 1510. Thus, when the CPU of the peripheral control board 1510 analyzes the received command analysis process of step S1022 in the peripheral control unit power-on process shown in FIG. 185 and the analyzed command includes a weak notification command, The light emission mode generation schedule data and the like set to the weak link information are read out (extracted) from the control ROM 1510 b and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510 a. Then, the CPU of the peripheral control board 1510 configures the light emission mode generation schedule data already set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510 a in the display data output process of step S1016 in the peripheral control unit power-on process shown in FIG. Among the light emission data arranged in time series, the door frame top central decoration substrate 455 in the door frame top unit 450 provided in the door frame 3 shown in FIG. 91A and the door frame top left decoration according to the light emission data indicated by the pointer A plurality of LEDs mounted on the substrate 456 are set to emit light in red for 5 minutes.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S440, when the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is not smaller than the threshold TH, that is, when the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC exceeds the threshold TH, the main control MPU 1310a determines 2. Set the notification mode (step S444).

  This second notification mode is to notify the dog radio more strongly than the first notification mode described above, and it is possible for a clerk or attendant who patrols the game hall to rush immediately to the pachinko machine 1 that is doing a dog radio. For example, the dish upper left decoration unit 270, the dish upper right decoration unit 275, the dish lower left decoration unit 280, the dish lower right decoration unit 285, and various decoration substrates in the effect operation unit 300, provided in the door frame 3 shown in FIG. 91A. A light emission mode in which the plurality of LEDs mounted on each of the plurality of LEDs mounted on the door frame top unit 450 and the plurality of LEDs mounted on the door frame top left decorative substrate 456 and the door frame top right decorative substrate 457 in the door frame top unit 450 blink for 5 minutes in red. And a plurality of door frame top central decoration substrates 455 mounted on the door frame top unit 450. In addition to the warning sound for strong notification, the ED has a light emission mode that blinks for 5 minutes in white, and an announcement for strong notification that “vibration has been detected” is at a maximum volume. Various speakers (vibration speaker 354, top center speaker 462, A sound mode that flows for 90 seconds from the top side speaker 464, body frame speaker 622, etc.) and that a dog computer is being performed on the hall computer of the game hall via the external terminal board 558 shown in FIG. To stop the game ball from being projected toward the game area 5a in order to stop the game so that an unauthorized player who does a dog game can not play any more games. Is set to the value 1 in the fraud detection flag FD-FLG which can be set. In addition, several LED mounted in the various decoration board | substrate with which the game board 5 is equipped has become the light emission aspect along advancing of a production | presentation.

  When such a light emission mode is performed for 5 minutes, although it returns to the contents (light emission mode) along with the progress of the original effect, while the light emission mode according to the second notification mode is in progress, Since the content (light emission mode) along with the progress is also in progress, the content (light emission mode) which has progressed for only 5 minutes from this original effect without returning to the content (light emission mode) of the original effect just before switching to the second notification mode It becomes an aspect) and switches. Similarly for the sound mode, when the sound mode is performed for 90 seconds, the sound mode according to the second notification mode progresses although the content (sounds such as sound, sound effects, and music) returns along the progress of the original effect. Since the content (sound) along with the progress of the original effect is actually progressing during the period, the original effect content (sound) immediately before switching to the second notification mode is not returned, and this original effect It changes as the contents (sound) advanced only for 90 seconds from. When switching to the content (sound) advanced for only 90 seconds from this original effect, the sound mode according to the second notification mode is turned off, and the volume of this sound is gradually increased toward the set volume. It is switched in such a way that fades in, so that the difference in volume caused by switching does not surprise the player.

  The main control MPU 1310a creates a dog information notification command to be divided into the notification information in the second notification mode, stores it as the transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above, and sends a notification that the dog information is being performed to the hall computer. The output of penetration to be transmitted is set and stored as the output information in the above-described output information storage area. Main control MPU 1310a reads transmission information from the transmission information storage area described above in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, and performs peripheral control using this transmission information as the main cycle serial data. Transmit to substrate 1510. Thus, when the CPU of the peripheral control board 1510 analyzes the received command analysis process of step S1022 in the peripheral control unit power-on process shown in FIG. The light emission mode generation schedule data, the sound generation schedule data, etc. which are set to the strong notification, are read out (extracted) from the control ROM 1510 b and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510 a. Then, the CPU of the peripheral control board 1510 configures the light emission mode generation schedule data already set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510 a in the display data output process of step S1016 in the peripheral control unit power-on process shown in FIG. Among the light emission data arranged in time series, according to the light emission data indicated by the pointer, the dish upper left decoration unit 270, the dish upper right decoration unit 275, the dish lower left decoration unit 280, the dish provided in the door frame 3 shown in FIG. A plurality of LEDs mounted respectively on various decoration substrates in the lower right decoration unit 285 and the rendering operation unit 300 and a door frame top left decoration substrate 456 and a door frame top right decoration substrate 457 in the door frame top unit 450 LEDs for 5 minutes flashing red In the light control mode, a plurality of LEDs mounted on the door frame top central decorative substrate 455 in the door frame top unit 450 are set to a light emission mode that blinks white for 5 minutes and the peripheral control unit shown in FIG. In the sound data output process of step S1018, the peripheral control is performed according to the sound command data indicated by the pointer among the sound command data arranged in time series constituting the sound generation schedule data set in the RAM of peripheral control IC 1510a. Sound control data is input from CPU of IC 1510a The sound source of peripheral control IC 1510a reads sound data from SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2, and according to the track number specified in the sound command data, the warning sound for strong notification and "vibration detected" Sound day for strong announcement Together incorporate, to set the output channel to be used according to the output channel number, outputted from the output channel specified various speakers (vibration speaker 354, top center speaker 462, topside speaker 464, main body frame speaker 622, etc.).

  Furthermore, main control MPU 1310a reads output information from the output information storage area described above in the port output process of step S118 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, and based on the output information, predetermined main control MPU 1310a From the output terminal of the output port, a signal is transmitted to the external terminal board 558 to convey to the hall computer that the dock is being performed.

  Furthermore, main control MPU 1310a sets the value 1 to the fraud detection flag FD-FLG in the firing permission signal setting process of step S113 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. The firing permission logic is set to the inverted firing stopping logic (firing non-permission logic) as logic of and the above-mentioned output information storage area is stored as output information. Main control MPU 1310a reads output information from the output information storage area described above in the port output process of step S118 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, and based on the output information, predetermined output port of main control MPU 1310a. The output control terminal 633b outputs to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633, and the launch control unit 633b can not launch the gaming ball toward the gaming area 5a. As a result, the game is stopped so that an unauthorized player who does a dog game can not play any more games.

  Following step S444, the main control MPU 1310a sets the cheating detection flag FD-FLG to the value 1 (step S446), and ends this routine. As described above, the injustice detection flag FD-FLG is a flag for notifying the presence or absence of the injustice, and the value 0 is set when the injustice is not detected, and the value when the injustice is detected. 1 is set.

  In step S446, the main control MPU 1310a sets the value 1 to the injustice detection flag FD-FLG, whereby the emission permission signal is set in the emission permission signal setting process of step S113 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. The firing permission logic is set to the inverted firing stopping logic (firing non-permission logic) as logic of and the above-mentioned output information storage area is stored as output information. Main control MPU 1310a reads output information from the output information storage area described above in the port output process of step S118 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, and based on the output information, predetermined output port of main control MPU 1310a. The output control terminal 633b outputs to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633, and the launch control unit 633b can not launch the gaming ball toward the gaming area 5a. As a result, the game is stopped so that an unauthorized player who does a dog game can not play any more games.

  As described above, main control MPU 1310a is a small symbol determined in the symbol lottery performed at the same time as the lottery in the special symbol and the special motorized product control processing in step S114 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 177 as described above. Depending on the type of symbol, the execution mode of the small hit game to be executed subsequently is set to one of a plurality of modes. Specifically, in the small hit game, the second shutter plate 4806 of the first large winning opening 4807 in the right hitting game zone 4824 is operated to make it possible to enter the gaming ball into the first large winning opening 4807 It is a game, and execution of opening and closing pattern of the ball entry opening by the second shutter plate 4806 and opening time when opening is performed depending on which of the small hit symbols caused by the small hit game executed this time is a small hit symbol The mode is set to be different, and the possibility of entering the gaming ball into the first large winning opening 4807 will be different according to this execution mode. That is, the execution mode of the small hit game in which the second shutter plate 4806 is retracted for a relatively long time (for example, 1.5) is the second shutter plate 4806 for a relatively short time (for example, 0.5 seconds). It becomes easier to enter the game ball into the first large winning opening 4807 than the execution mode of the small hit game which backs the. In the small hit game, all the game balls in the first large winning opening 4807 reach the rotating ball receiving member 4808 inside the first large winning opening 4807, and the gaming balls are received by the ball receiving member 4808 If it is received in the recess 4809, the game ball that has been guided to the V winning opening 4810 by the rotation of the ball receiving member 4808 and has not been received in the ball receiving recess 4809 falls below the ball receiving member 4808. Roll on the inclined taper circumferential surface and enter the general winning opening 4801. When the gaming ball guided to the V winning opening 4810 side enters the V winning opening 4810 by the rotation operation of the rotary ball receiving member 4808, the main control MPU 1310a maximizes the opening / closing plate 4811 of the second large winning opening 4812 Perform a big hit game that opens and closes until the number of times of opening and closing is reached.

  For this reason, the main control MPU 1310a is a pachinko machine so that the game ball can be placed toward the ball receiving recess 4809 formed on the rotating ball receiving member 4808 in the right-handed game zone 4824 to enter the V winning opening 4810 The main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 is repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms) to determine the fraudulent behavior (the presence or absence of the dog) that applies vibration to the pachinko machine 1 by shaking or striking 1 The abnormal vibration two-step informing process for the special winning opening in the injustice detecting process in step S112 in step S112 is performed and notified.

  When the abnormal vibration two-step informing process for the special winning opening in the injustice detecting process is started, as shown in FIG. 263, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not a small hit game is in progress (step S460). This determination is made based on whether or not the small hit game state is generated in the special symbol in step S114 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S460 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the small hit gaming state is not generated, the main control MPU 1310a ends the present routine as it is, while the main control MPU 1310 determines that the small hit gaming state is generated, the first large It is determined whether the game ball has entered the winning opening 4807 (step S462). In this determination, in the switch input process of step S104 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, it is detected from the first big winning opening sensor 4807a that detects that the first big winning opening 4807 in the right hitting game zone 4824 is entered. The detection signal is read, and it is performed based on the read detection signal.

  If it is determined in step S462 that the main control MPU 1310a determines that the game ball has not entered the first large winning opening 4807, the main routine is ended as it is, while the first large winning opening 4807 is entered. When it is determined, vibration determination processing is performed (step S464). In this vibration determination process, the detailed description will be described later, but the lower vibration read in the switch input process of step S104 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms) When the vibration detection sensor 2 which is a detection signal from the detection switch 3006 b is processed as effective, every time the switch input processing in step S 104 is performed, the read logic of the vibration detection sensor 2 is a dog detection logic The number is counted by the vibration counter VC. In the present embodiment, the vibration counter VC is connected to the upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006a. When processing the vibration detection sensor 1, which is a signal, as effective, every time the switch input processing in step S104 is performed, the number of times when the read logic of the vibration detection sensor 1 is the detection logic is also counted. Therefore, it is a shared counter.

  Following step S464, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not there is abnormal vibration (step S466). This determination is performed based on the value of the vibration counter VC counted in the vibration determination process of step S462, and when there is abnormal vibration when the value of the vibration counter VC reaches the determination value (in the present embodiment, the value 4) On the other hand, when the value of the vibration counter VC does not reach the determination value (in the present embodiment, the value 4), it is determined that there is no abnormal vibration.

  In the determination of step S466, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the value of the vibration counter VC has not reached the determination value (in the present embodiment, the value 4), the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is a value 0 (zero). It is determined whether there is any (step S468). This abnormal vibration counter AVC is a variable shared with that in the distribution device abnormal vibration two-step notification processing shown in FIG. 262 (that is, it is changed in the present routine and the distribution device abnormal vibration two-step notification processing respectively) Is a variable that can be calculated), and as described above, counts the number of times of determination as abnormal vibration, and is stored in a general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a. The abnormal vibration counter AVC is reset to an initial value (value 0 (zero)) at the time of power recovery at power on of the pachinko machine 1 or at the time of power recovery after a power failure or at the end of the big hit gaming state (instantly At the time of power recovery after a momentary blackout, if the momentary blackout period is short (for example, within a few seconds), the abnormal vibration counter AVC is not reset, and the blackout period is long even if it can not be said that a blackout In the case (for example, in the case of a period of several tens of seconds), the abnormal vibration counter AVC is reset). When the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is the value 0 (zero) at the time of determination in step S468, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the number of times determined as abnormal vibration is zero, and the player has not performed dogkigoto.

  When it is determined in step S468 that the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is the value 0 (zero), the main control MPU 1310a ends the present routine as it is.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S466, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the value of the vibration counter VC has reached the determination value (in the present embodiment, the value 4), the value 1 is added to the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC. (Increment, step S470), it is determined whether the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is equal to or less than the threshold TH (step S472). This threshold value TH is a constant which is the same as that in the distribution device abnormal vibration two-step notification process shown in FIG. 262 (that is, the same for the present routine and the distribution device abnormal vibration two-step notification process) Is a constant set), and as described above, the notification is made when the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC exceeds the threshold value TH and does not exceed the threshold value TH as described above. It is possible to change the way.

  In the determination of step S472, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is less than or equal to the threshold TH, that is, when the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC does not exceed the threshold TH or the determination of step S468. If the main control MPU 1310a determines that the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is not 0 (zero), the main control MPU 1310a sets the first notification mode as weak notification (step S474), and ends this routine. This first notification mode is the same as that in the abnormal vibration two-step notification process for the sorting apparatus shown in FIG. 262, and the detailed description is omitted here.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S472, when the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC is not smaller than the threshold TH, that is, when the value of the abnormal vibration counter AVC exceeds the threshold TH, the main control MPU 1310a determines 2. Set the notification mode (step S476). This second notification mode is the same as that in the abnormal vibration two-step notification process for the sorting apparatus shown in FIG. 262, and the detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Following step S476, the main control MPU 1310a sets the cheating detection flag FD-FLG to the value 1 (step S478), and the present routine is ended. As described above, the injustice detection flag FD-FLG is a flag for notifying the presence or absence of the injustice, and the value 0 is set when the injustice is not detected, and the value when the injustice is detected. 1 is set.

  In step S478, the main control MPU 1310a sets the value 1 to the injustice detection flag FD-FLG, whereby the emission permission signal is set in the emission permission signal setting process of step S113 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. The firing permission logic is set to the inverted firing stopping logic (firing non-permission logic) as logic of and the above-mentioned output information storage area is stored as output information. Main control MPU 1310a reads output information from the output information storage area described above in the port output process of step S118 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177, and based on the output information, predetermined output port of main control MPU 1310a. The output control terminal 633b outputs to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633, and the launch control unit 633b can not launch the gaming ball toward the gaming area 5a. As a result, the game is stopped so that an unauthorized player who does a dog game can not play any more games.

  Next, the vibration discrimination performed as the process of step S432 in the abnormal vibration two-step notification process for the sorting apparatus shown in FIG. 262 and the process at step S464 in the abnormal vibration two-step notification process for the special winning opening shown in FIG. The process will be described.

  When the vibration determination process is started, as shown in FIG. 264, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether a vibration is generated (step S480). In this determination, the upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the vibration detection switch 3005 and the detection from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a read in the switch input process of step S104 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. This is performed based on the logic of the vibration detection sensor 1 which is a signal in which the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a signal is wired-OR connected and the logic of the vibration detection sensor 2 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006b. When either or both of the logic of the vibration detection sensor 1 and the logic of the vibration detection sensor 2 are doddy got detection logic, the main control MPU 1310 a determines that the vibration is abnormal and determines that there is vibration, while the vibration detection sensor 1 When both the logic of and the logic of the vibration detection sensor 2 are docketing non-detection logics obtained by reversing the dogking detection logic, it is not judged as abnormal vibration and it is judged as no vibration.

  In the determination of step S480, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that there is no vibration, the main routine is ended as it is, while when it is determined that there is a vibration, the vibration determination invalid timer VDDT is in a started state (during activation). It is determined whether or not it is (step S482). The vibration discrimination invalid timer VDDT is a detection signal from which the upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006a are wired-OR connected It defines the time for processing the sensor 1 and the vibration detection sensor 2 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b as invalid, and in the present embodiment, 1020 milliseconds (1.020 seconds) Is set in advance. When the start of the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT is set, the value 1 is set to the vibration determination invalidation timer flag, and subtraction is performed in the timer subtraction process of step S102 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. Since the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 is repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms), the value of the vibration determination invalid timer VDDT is decremented by 4 in the timer subtraction process of step S102. When it becomes (zero seconds), the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT has elapsed. As a result, the vibration determination invalidation timer flag is set to a value of 0, which is an initial value, in a state where the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT is not activated (including activation completion). The value of the vibration determination invalidation timer flag is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a, and the value 0, which is the initial value, is set at power recovery at power on of the pachinko machine 1 or at power recovery after a power failure. Be done. When power is restored after a momentary power failure where a power failure occurs instantaneously, if the momentary power failure period is short (for example, within a few seconds), the vibration discrimination invalid timer flag is not set to the initial value, If it can not be said that the momentary power failure period is long (for example, in the case of a period of several tens of seconds), the vibration determination invalid timer flag is set to the initial value.

  In the determination of step S 482, when the main control MPU 1310 a determines that the vibration determination invalid timer flag is not 1 (is the value 0), that is, determines that the vibration determination invalid timer VDDT is not starting, the vibration determination valid timer VDET is started. It is determined whether it is in the running state (during activation) (step S484). The vibration discrimination effective timer VDET is a detection signal in which the upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a are wired-OR connected It defines the time for processing the sensor 1 and the vibration detection sensor 2 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006b as effective, and in the present embodiment, 12 milliseconds (0.012 seconds). Is set in advance. When the start of the vibration determination valid timer VDET is set, the value 1 is set to the vibration determination valid timer flag, and the timer subtraction processing in step S102 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 177 is subtracted. Since the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 is repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms), the value of the vibration determination valid timer VDET is subtracted by 4 each in the timer subtraction process of step S102, and the value 0 When (zero seconds) is reached, the vibration determination effective timer VDET has elapsed. As a result, the value of 0, which is an initial value, is set in the vibration discrimination effective timer flag as a state where the vibration discrimination effective timer VDET is not activated (including activation completion). The value of the vibration determination effective timer flag is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a, and the value 0 which is the initial value is set at power recovery at power on of the pachinko machine 1 or at power recovery after power failure. Be done. When power is restored after a momentary power failure where a power failure occurs instantaneously, the vibration discrimination valid timer flag is not set to the initial value if the momentary power failure period is short (for example, within a few seconds), If it can not be said that the momentary power failure period is long (for example, in the case of a period over several tens of seconds), the vibration determination valid timer flag is set to the initial value.

  In the determination of step S484, when the vibration determination valid timer flag is not 1 (value 0), that is, when it is determined that the vibration determination valid timer VDET is not activated, the main control MPU 1310 a starts the vibration determination valid timer VDET. Are set (step S486). The main control MPU 1310a sets the value of the vibration determination valid timer flag to 1 by setting the start of the vibration determination valid timer VDET. When this routine ends, the vibration determination effective timer VDET is started to be subtracted in the timer subtraction process of step S102 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

  Subsequent to step S486, the main control MPU 1310a adds the value 1 to the vibration counter VC (increment it, step S488), and ends this routine. The vibration counter VC counts the number of times that it is determined that vibration is present in the above-described determination of step S480 while the vibration determination valid timer VDET is activated. Since the vibration discrimination effective timer VDET is started to be subtracted in the timer subtraction process of step S102 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 177 when this routine ends, the value of the vibration counter VC is determined by the vibration discrimination effective timer VDET. Before being subtracted, the value 1 is added. As a result, the value of the vibration counter VC becomes a value 4 when the vibration determination valid timer VDET becomes a value 0 (zero seconds). This value 4 is a determination value used for determination of step S 434 in the abnormal vibration two-step notification process for the sorting apparatus shown in FIG. 262, and in the abnormal vibration two-step notification process for the special winning opening shown in FIG. It is the determination value used for the determination of step S466.

  On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the vibration determination valid timer flag has the value 1 in the determination of step S484, that is, determines that the vibration determination valid timer VDET is in operation, the vibration determination valid timer VDET is 12 milliseconds. It is determined whether (0.012 seconds) has elapsed (step S490). This determination is performed based on whether the value of the vibration determination effective timer VDET is subtracted in the timer subtraction process of step S102 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. When the value of the timer VDET is 0 (zero seconds), it is determined that 12 milliseconds (0.012 seconds) have elapsed, while when the value of the vibration discrimination effective timer VDET is not 0 (zero seconds), 12 milliseconds. It is determined that (0.012 seconds) has not elapsed.

  In the determination of step S490, the main control MPU 1310a described above when the value of the vibration determination valid timer VDET is not 0 (zero seconds), that is, when it is determined that 12 milliseconds (0.012 seconds) have not elapsed. In step S488, the vibration counter VC is incremented by 1 (incremented, step S488), and the present routine is ended.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S 490, the main control MPU 1310 a vibrates when the value of the vibration determination valid timer VDET is 0 (zero seconds), that is, when it is determined that 12 milliseconds (0.012 seconds) have elapsed. A value of 0, which is an initial value, is set in the vibration discrimination valid timer flag as a state where the discrimination valid timer VDET is not activated (including activation completion), and the start of the vibration discrimination invalid timer VDDT is set (step S492). End the routine The main control MPU 1310a sets the value of 1 to the vibration determination invalid timer flag by setting the start of the vibration determination invalid timer VDDT. When this routine ends, the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT is started to be subtracted in the timer subtraction process of step S102 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the vibration determination invalidation timer flag has the value 1 in the determination of step S482, that is, determines that the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT is in operation, the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT is 1020 milliseconds. It is determined whether (1.020 seconds) has elapsed (step S494). This determination is performed based on whether the value of the vibration determination invalid timer VDDT is subtracted in the timer subtraction process of step S102 in the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. When the value of the timer VDDT is 0 (zero seconds), it is determined that 1020 milliseconds (1.020 seconds) have elapsed, while when the value of the oscillation discrimination invalid timer VDDT is not 0 (zero seconds) 1020 milliseconds It is determined that (1.020 seconds) has not elapsed.

  In the determination of step S494, when the value of the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT is not 0 (zero seconds), that is, when it is determined that 1020 milliseconds (1.020 seconds) has not elapsed, the main control MPU 1310a performs this processing as it is. When the value of the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT is 0 (zero seconds), that is, when it is determined that 1020 milliseconds (1.020 seconds) have elapsed, the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT is started. In the not-in-state state (including the activation completion), the vibration discrimination invalidation timer flag is set to the initial value 0, and the value of the vibration counter VC is reset by setting the value 0 (zero) (step S 496) End this routine. By resetting the value of the vibration counter VC in step S 496, it is possible to accurately count the number of times the vibration determination effective timer VDET is determined to have vibration in the determination of step S 480 described above during startup next time.

  As described above, while the vibration determination valid timer VDET of 12 milliseconds (0.012 seconds) is activated, the vibration counter VC can be updated, while when the vibration determination valid timer VDET elapses, 1020 milliseconds (1. 10 milliseconds). The vibration counter VC can not be updated while the vibration determination invalidation timer VDDT of 020 seconds is running. That is, only in a limited period in which the vibration determination valid timer VDET is in operation, it is possible to accurately count, using the vibration counter VC, the number of times the vibration is determined to be present in the determination of step S480 described above. It has become. Thereby, for example, vibration generated when the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, vibration generated when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, and the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4 The player operates the vibration that occurs when the player moves, the vibration that occurs when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, and the effect operation unit 301 (the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303) of the effect operation unit 300. Even if a vibration or the like that occurs at any time is detected, it is possible to prevent an erroneous notification as a dog dog.

  In the embodiment described above, the vibration counter VC is a wired-or connected with the upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006a. In the case where the vibration detection sensor 1 which is a signal is processed as effective, and in the case where the vibration detection sensor 2 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 b is processed as effective, it becomes a shared counter. The vibration detection sensor 1 in which the upper vibration detection sensor which is a detection signal from the vibration detection switch 3005 and the lower vibration detection sensor 1 which is a detection signal from the lower vibration detection switch 3006 a are wired or connected is effective. In the case of processing as one, use the first vibration counter and When processing the vibration sensor 2 is a detection signal from the switch 3006b as valid may be counted individually configured to use the second oscillation counter.

  In this case, the weak notification based on the first vibration counter and the weak notification based on the second vibration counter may be in the same mode or in different modes. In the case of a different mode, it can be understood which of the weak notification based on the first vibration counter and the weak notification based on the second vibration counter, so it is possible to use weak notification based on the first vibration counter. For example, by swinging or striking the pachinko machine 1 so that the game ball can enter the specific receiving port 4855v of the distributing disc 4853 provided in the ball swirl type distributing device 4843 in the lower layer game zone 4825. It is possible to grasp that the fraudulent act of applying vibration to the pachinko machine 1 is performed, and in the case of weak notification based on the second vibration counter, it is formed on the rotary ball receiving member 4808 in the right-handed game zone 4824 The pachinko machine 1 was swung so that the game ball could be placed toward the ball receiving recess 4809 and entered into the V winning hole 4810 , It is possible to understand that the abuse is occurring to add vibration to the pachinko machine 1 by or hit. Further, the strong notification based on the first vibration counter and the strong notification based on the second vibration counter may be in the same mode or in different modes. If different modes are used, it can be understood which of the strong notification based on the first vibration counter and the strong notification based on the second vibration counter. For example, by swinging or striking the pachinko machine 1 so that the game ball can enter the specific receiving port 4855v of the distributing disc 4853 provided in the ball swirl type distributing device 4843 in the lower layer game zone 4825. It is possible to grasp that the fraudulent act of applying vibration to the pachinko machine 1 is being performed, and in the case of strong notification based on the second vibration counter, it is formed on the rotating ball receiving member 4808 in the right hitting game zone 4824 The pachinko machine 1 was swung so that the game ball could be placed toward the ball receiving recess 4809 and entered into the V winning hole 4810 , It is possible to understand that the abuse is occurring to add vibration to the pachinko machine 1 by or hit.

  In the embodiment described above, the weak notification and the strong notification are performed by the plurality of LEDs mounted on each decoration substrate whose light emission mode is controlled by the peripheral control substrate 1510, but the light control mode is performed by the main control substrate 1310X. May be performed by one or more LEDs controlled.

  Incidentally, there has been proposed a gaming machine which is provided with a vibration sensor (vibration detection unit) for detecting the vibration of the game board to detect fraudulent acts such as hitting the gaming machine (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2014-042689 (paragraph 0026] and Figure 2)). By the way, in the gaming machine described in this document, the vibration sensor is disposed in the vicinity of the ball guiding path (ball unit) passing the game ball, and the vibration sensor and the ball guiding portion are attached to the same mounting member In this case, the vibration of the gaming ball passing through the ball guiding portion may be transmitted to the vibration sensor through the mounting member and erroneously notified as an abnormal vibration.

  According to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment described above, the main control board 1310X of FIG. 255 capable of controlling the excitation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 of FIG. 247 is accommodated in the main control board box 1320 of FIG. ing. The main control board box 1320 is formed in a box shape from the transparent cover body 1301 of FIG. 256 and the transparent base body 1302 of FIG. 256, and by breaking the crimped portion 1303 of FIG. The adhered state between the transparent cover body 1301 and the transparent base body 1302 can be released. The main control board 1310X includes the poly switch MPS 50 of FIG. 255 which is a resettable fuse. In this poly switch MPS 50, the conductivity is reduced by generating heat due to the overcurrent to the first distribution stepping motor 4908 to cut off the current, and then the conductivity can be restored by cooling. is there.

  In this manner, when an overcurrent flows to the first distribution stepping motor 4908, the current is cut off and cooled by the poly switch MPS 50 so that the current to the first distribution stepping motor 4908 can be automatically restored. Therefore, there is no need to destroy the crimped portion 1303 which is the fixed portion due to the overcurrent to the first distributing stepping motor 4908, and it is possible to prevent the main control board 1310X from being unusable. Can. Therefore, the main control board 1310X can be prevented from becoming unusable due to an overcurrent.

  Also, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment described above, the main control board 1310 X of FIG. 255 capable of controlling the excitation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 of FIG. 247 is provided. The right track and the ball passage 4834 are provided, and the gaming ball entered from the jumping portion 4827 in FIG. 235 which is the ball-in-the-ball portion flows toward the front of the ball passage 4834 in FIG. The first distributing unit 4829a shown in FIG. 235 is a distributing device capable of distributing the left track flowing to the left toward the front side by controlling the excitation of the first distributing stepping motor 4908. The first distribution unit 4829 a may discharge the right course flowing to the right toward the front of the ball passage 4834 and the left course flowing to the left toward the front of the ball passage 4834 to a region advantageous to the player. It has a right track that flows to the right of the front of the ball passage 4834, which is a specific ball discharge portion that can be made. The main control board 1310 X is divided into the right track flowing to the right toward the front of the ball passage 4834 and the left track flowing to the left toward the front of the ball passage 4834 other than the specific ball discharge portion. The excitation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 can be controlled so that the distributed time and the time are different.

  Specifically, the time when the first motor-driven distribution piece 4835 is stopped at the position of the mechanical end on the right side is the management number No. The excitation time (ms) specified in No. 19: 12, control number No. The excitation time (ms) specified in 20: 324, and the control number no. While the excitation time (ms) specified in 1 is 348 ms with 12 added, the time for stopping at the position of the mechanical end on the left side is the control number No. The excitation time (ms) specified in 10 (ms) is 8 alone and is 8 ms, the stop time at the position of the mechanical end on the left and right sides is different, and the stop time is long.

  In this manner, by controlling the first distribution unit 4829a by the first distribution stepping motor 4908, the specific ball discharge unit can be divided into the right track that flows to the right toward the front of the ball passage 4834 that is the specific ball discharge unit. It is possible to finely adjust the time allotted to the left track flowing to the left toward the front of the ball passage 4834 which is the other ball discharge portion except the ball release portion, and to stabilize the distribution ratio by the first distribution portion 4829a. it can. Therefore, the distribution ratio by the first distribution unit 4829a can be stabilized, and the distribution ratio can be finely adjusted.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment described above, the main control board 1310 X of FIG. 255 capable of controlling the excitation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 of FIG. The first electric distribution piece 4835 shown in FIG. 235, which is a movable body capable of moving within a predetermined range by controlling the excitation, is provided. The excitation phase of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 and the position of the first electric distribution piece 4835 which is a movable body are associated in advance without overlapping. The main control board 1310 X is in the excitation phase of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 previously associated with any one of the positions of the first electric distribution piece 4835 which is a movable body in a predetermined range at the time of power recovery. It is possible to control against.

  Specifically, main control MPU 1310a of main control board 1310X follows the drive management block in the port output process of step S118 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 177 which is repeatedly performed every 4 milliseconds (ms). Swing drive data is output to the first split stepping motor drive IC 1310 n as drive control of the first split stepping motor 4908, and logic is applied to the first split stepping motor voltage switch circuit 1310 m as voltage switching control of the first split stepping motor 4908. A signal of set voltage switching 1 is output. Further, in addition to the time of power-on, at the time of recovery from power recovery due to power failure and momentary power failure, the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is repeatedly driven according to the conditions defined in the drive management block of the first distribution stepping motor 4908.

  As described above, at the time of power recovery, the first electric distribution piece 4835 that is a movable body is controlled by controlling the excitation phase of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 previously associated with any position in the predetermined range. It is possible to identify the position of Therefore, at the time of power recovery, it is possible to specify the excitation phase to first distribution stepping motor 4908 and the position of first electric distribution piece 4835 which is a movable body.

  Also, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment described above, the main control board 1310 X of FIG. 255 capable of controlling the excitation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 of FIG. 247 is provided. While being provided, the excitation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is controlled to reciprocate within a predetermined range by the first electric distribution piece 4835 of FIG. Distribution that can be divided into a right track flowing to the right toward the front of the ball passage 4834 in FIG. 235, which is a plurality of ball release parts, and a left track flowing to the left toward the front of the ball passage 4834 The device is provided with a first distribution unit 4829a of FIG. 235 which is an apparatus. The first electric distribution piece 4835 is configured such that the first electric distribution piece 4835 in FIG. 235 always swings in a wiper shape (a wiper shape that always reciprocates between the position of the mechanical end on the left and the position of the mechanical end on the right). It can be reciprocated within a predetermined range. Main control board 1310 X stops excitation of first distribution stepping motor 4908 in a state where first electric distribution piece 4835 reciprocates within a predetermined range by constantly controlling excitation of first distribution stepping motor 4908 after power recovery. Voltage that can switch between +5 V, which is the stop voltage used during operation, and +12 V, which is the voltage higher than the stop voltage and is used during operation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908. A first distributing stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310 m shown in FIG. 255 which is a switching unit is provided.

  As described above, in the state where the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is constantly controlled after power recovery and the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is excited, the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is stopped because the operation voltage is higher than the stop voltage. By switching between the stop voltage used during operation and the operation voltage used during operation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908, the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is stopped while the first distribution stepping motor 4908 is stopped. The heat generation can be suppressed. Therefore, the heat generation of the first distribution stepping motor 4908 can be suppressed.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment described above, the game ball B fired by the ball launching device 540 of FIG. 92 as the launching means is provided as the receiving port provided in the game area 5a. A main control board 1310X shown in FIG. 253 is provided as game control means capable of proceeding with the game based on entering the ball 4813 or the electric start winning opening 4871.

  The pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment has a setting switching button 1311 b provided on the setting change board 1310 Y of the main control unit 1300 of FIG. 256 as selection means, and a setting switch provided on the setting change board 1310 Y of the main control unit 1300 of FIG. It is equipped with 1311a.

[Other crime prevention structure of the game setting]
In the pachinko machine 1 of the above embodiment, as the crime prevention structure of the game setting, the change operation means provided in the main control unit 1310 is targeted, but other than that, the crime prevention measures of the game setting using the pachinko machine 1 structure May be performed. Such a crime prevention structure will be described below.

[Game setting change device]
The gaming machine (pachinko machine 1) of the embodiment is, as described above, the frame-like outer frame 2 or the box-like main body portion fixedly attached to the gaming machine installation section (island facility) in the facility (game hall). And a door frame 3 formed so as to cover the front of the outer frame 2 and to be able to turn in a half-opened state, and a fixed portion (hereinafter, described with the outer frame 2) which is 6004 grade. Of the door frame 3 and the outer frame 2 and has a main frame 4 formed so as to be able to turn in a half-opened manner, and the game setting of the winning probability by lottery is specified. The game setting change device which can change within the range of is provided.
This game setting change device is to change the hit probability of the lottery for determining the hit performed by the main control unit 1310 described above, and the setting key switch 131Xa to be turned ON / OFF with the dedicated setting key, or Is a setting switching unit 131Xb for changing the setting value of the hit probability by an operation such as rotation, a setting display unit 131Xc for displaying the setting value of the hit probability, and a power switch 630a of the power supply unit 620c of the pachinko machine 1 It has an operating means. It should be noted that what kind of element the change operation means is configured can be arbitrarily set. For example, the power switch 630a may be excluded from the component or an input key for inputting a password may be added to the component .

[How to change set value by change operation means]
Next, a method of changing the setting value of the hit probability by the change operation means of the game setting change device will be described. In addition, although the unlocking process which rotates the door frame 3 or the main body frame 4 is required as a premise of operating a change operation means, operation of the change operation means including such an unlocking process is mentioned later.

First, the setting key for setting change is inserted into the setting key switch 131Xa, and in the state as it is, the power is turned off by the power switch 630a.
Next, the setting key of the setting key switch 131Xa is turned to switch from OFF to ON, and in this state, power is turned on by the power switch 630a. As a result, the main control unit 1310 is switched to the setting change mode, and the current setting value of the hit probability is visibly displayed on the 7-segment display or the lighting of the LED in the setting display unit 131Xc. In addition, the hit probability of the game setting is, for example, “setting 1 = 1⁄20.0”, “setting 2 = 1 / 19.8”, “setting 3 = 1 / 19.6”, “setting 4 = 1/19. .4 "," setting 5 = 1 / 19.2 "," setting 6 = 1 / 19.0 "and so on.
Next, while looking at the setting display section 131Xc, the setting switching section 131Xb is operated to change the setting value of the hit probability, and when it comes to the setting value scheduled to be changed, the setting key switch 131Xa is returned to OFF and removed. As a result, the set value of the hit probability is fixed, the display of the set value by the setting display unit 131Xc disappears, and the setting change mode ends and the game becomes possible.
To check the current setting, turn on the setting key switch 131Xa with the setting change setting key while the power is on, and after confirmation, turn off the setting key switch 131Xa and exit the setting key. For example, the display of the setting value by the setting display unit 131Xc disappears.
Of course, the procedure of the above-mentioned change method is one example, and may be changed appropriately according to the combination of the elements of the change operation means.

[Specific example of change operation means]
Next, specific examples of the change operation means of the game setting change device will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 234, 236, and 266 to 269.

[Specific example 1]
All of the change operation means of the game setting change device shown in FIGS. 234 and 236 are installed in the upper left corner of the front component 1000 outside the game area 5 a of the game board 5.
That is, the change operation means of the first specific example includes a setting display unit 131Xc which is shared by the function display unit 1400, and a setting key switch 131Xa disposed obliquely upward in the vicinity of the function display unit 1400 along the game area 5a. A power switch 630a similarly disposed obliquely above the setting key switch 131Xa, and an operation rod type setting switching portion 131Xb similarly disposed obliquely above the power switch 630a.
The game board 5 is detachably mounted on the front of the main body frame 4 and substantially constitutes a part of the main body frame 4. Therefore, in the game setting change device shown in FIGS. 234 and 236, all of the change operation means for changing the setting value are provided on the front side of the main body frame 4.
Further, the power switch 630a is obtained by transferring the one provided in the power unit 620c, and the function of turning on / off the power does not change.

A procedure for changing the setting value of the game setting change device by the change operation means of this specific example 1 will be described.
First, in the pachinko machine 1, the main body frame 4 and the outer frame 2 are locked by the locking unit 650 attached to the main body frame 4 as described above, and the main body frame 4 and the door frame 3 are locked. The frame 3 is locked to the outer frame 2 via the main body frame 4.
Therefore, before operating the change operation means, insert the setting key into the key hole 132 of the cylinder lock 130 from the front of the door frame 3 and rotate it in a predetermined direction (for example, counterclockwise in front view) to lock the door frame 3 After turning the door frame 3 only in the opening direction, the employee stands in front of the main body frame 4 (game board 5) with the open door frame 3 seen on the left side (unlocking process).
Then, in this state, the change of the setting value by the change operation means of the game setting change device is executed according to the procedure described above, and then the door frame 3 is returned to the original state and locked.
In addition, the game setting change apparatus of all the specific examples provides the door frame opening switch 4a (refer to FIG. 269) in the door frame 3, detects the opening of the door frame 3, and the door frame 3 is opened to change the setting mode. At the time of switching, a sound of "setting change in progress" flows from the body frame speaker 622 or the like at a large volume and a signal in the setting change is transmitted from the external terminal board 558. As a result, since the setting change operation of the game setting change device is clearly transmitted to those around and the manager, it is difficult to make an unauthorized setting change. Also, depending on the opening degree of the door frame 3, a sound notifying that the setting is flowing from the body frame speaker 622 is loud, for example, when the opening of the door frame 3 is small, while the opening of the door frame 3 is external If the angle is larger than the easy-to-check angle (for example, the opening angle is 80 degrees or more), the volume difference may be provided such that the volume is lower than or equal to the middle volume. By doing so, when the opening of the door frame 3 is small, it is possible to detect frauds around the voice when the opening of the door frame 3 is large, and when the opening of the door frame 3 is large. It is possible to reduce the stress due to the sound for the regular setting change work performed by opening.

Although the change operation means of the game setting change device of the above-described specific example 1 is provided at the upper left corner corresponding to the outside of the game area 5a of the gaming board 5, it is not shown It may be provided at the corner, at the lower left corner, and at the lower right corner. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 266 (a) and (b), the main unit frame 4 may be provided below the game board 5.
In this case, the door of the employee who is opening the door frame 3 and stealing the eyes of the employee who is dealing with troubles such as a ball jam etc., the tampering act of the malicious person who tries to operate the tampering manipulation means At least one element of the game board 5 (preferably, the setting switching section 131Xb for directly inputting the setting value) in one of the upper left corner and the upper right corner of the game board 5, or a plurality of elements are dispersedly provided in both (for example, The setting key switch 131Xa may be the upper right corner, and the setting switching unit 131Xb may be the upper left corner). If there is a change operation means at these positions, it is far from the player sitting in the chair, and the gesture to extend the hand up is unnatural and there is a high risk that the employee will notice it, so I think that he / she is cheating. It is because it can be a psychological pressure to stop it. From this, it is far from the player sitting in the chair and it is difficult to see from the player because the view is blocked by the employee who works and all the change operation means or the change operation means in the upper left corner of the game board 5 It is best to provide part (preferably part of the conversion operation).
Conversely, as shown in FIGS. 266 (a) and 266 (b), when the change operation means is provided below the game board 5 of the main unit frame 4, it is likely to be disadvantageous for crime prevention because it is close to the player at the low position. In order to solve such a crime prevention surface problem, the main frame 4 is formed with a hidden area 131 X d which is obscured and difficult to see from the perspective viewed from an oblique direction avoiding the open door frame 3 The 131Xe may be provided, and all or part of the change operation means may be provided in the hidden area 131Xd. In FIGS. 266 (a) and (b), the hidden surface 131Xf of the step portion 131Xe which is shaded from the viewpoint (for example, a viewpoint viewed obliquely from the open side (anti-hinge side) of the door frame 3 opened for ball jamming). In addition, as shown in the flat or the enlarged view of FIG. 266 (a), the depression is further provided and the setting display portion 131Xc by the LED is provided, and the player is forced to open the door frame 3 during business hours. The set value is almost invisible from Of course, providing all of the change operation means on the hidden surface 131Xf of the step 131Xe is the most advantageous in terms of crime prevention measures, but providing only a part of the change operation means on the hidden surface 131Xf of the step 131Xe is illegal. It is effective as a crime prevention measure because it becomes difficult to do. In particular, since the setting display unit 131 Xc of the change operation means can be installed if there is a small step 131 Xe that only arranges the LEDs in a line, securing of the installation place becomes easy.

[Specific Example 2]
The change operation means of the second specific example is provided on the rear side of the door frame 3 as shown in FIG. The elements constituting the change operation means are as described above, and the description thereof is omitted.
When the change operation means is provided on the rear side of the door frame 3, when the door frame 3 is opened in response to the trouble as described above, the change operation means is located near the player's hand as a result. There is a possibility that the operation may be performed illegally by pushing the clearance of a member, but in the second example, the cover body 131Xg which can be opened and closed is provided on the rear side of the door frame 3 to cover the change operation means. Can not be done.
This cover body 131Xg can be pivoted in a half-opened manner by providing a hinge portion 131Xh on one side, but by providing the hinge portion 131Xh on the free end side of the door frame 3, as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. In the open state, the change operation means is hidden from the player. Such a cover body 131 Xg can be applied to the first embodiment, and by providing the hinge portion between the change operation means and the player, it goes without saying that the change operation means can be protected in the closed state. In the open state, it is possible to hide the change operation means from the player's point of view.

  In specific examples 1 and 2, a hole is made by a heated rod or the like in the door frame 3 made of synthetic resin, and the change operation means may be tampered with from the hole, so the front of the change operation means is not shown. It is preferable to provide a protective plate (for example, a metal plate) excellent in heat resistance and rigidity. Of course, the cover body 131Xg may be formed of a material excellent in heat resistance and rigidity so as to be an open / close protective plate.

[Specific Example 3]
The change operation means of the third example is provided such that a part of the change operation means of the first example or the second example is provided on the rear side of the main body frame 4 and / or the outer frame 2 on the rear side of the closed main body frame 4. It is
For example, the change operation means of the third embodiment includes, in one element, a power switch 630a integrated with the power unit 620c attached to the rear side of the main body frame 4 shown in FIG. In the same manner as in (2), it is provided on the rear side of the door frame 3 or on the front side of the main body frame 4. For example, the power switch 630a, which is an element of the change operation means, may be provided inside the outer frame 2 (fixed portion).
When changing the setting value of the game setting change device by the change operation means of the third specific example, a key is inserted into the cylinder lock 130 from the front of the door frame 3 as the unlocking step and in a predetermined direction (for example, clockwise in front view) After turning and unlocking the outer frame 2 of the main frame 4, the key inserted into the cylinder lock 130 is rotated in the reverse direction to unlock the main frame 4 of the door frame 3 as well. Each change operation means may be operated as described above. In the same manner as the door frame 3, the main body frame 4 is provided with a main body frame open switch 4b (see FIG. 269) for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4, and both the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 are opened. When the mode is switched to the change mode, a sound of “setting in progress” flows at a large volume from the main body frame speaker 622 and the like, and a signal in progress of setting change is transmitted from the external terminal board 558.

  As described above, since the change operation means of the third specific example needs to unlock the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 in order to execute the change operation, it takes a lot of time for fraud. Since the risk of finding that it takes time for fraud is high, it is difficult for a person who attempts fraud to recognize it as a type that is difficult to attack, and of course it becomes difficult to be targeted.

[Setting auxiliary device for change operation means]
FIG. 268 is a perspective view showing a setting assisting device 131Xi which can correspond to any one of the changing operation means of the first to third embodiments.
The setting auxiliary device 131Xi has a portable size device case 131Xj, a setting key 131Xk for setting change matching at least the setting key switch 131Xa, an auxiliary setting operation unit 131X1 for operating the setting switching unit 131Xb, and a game setting changing device And an auxiliary setting visual display unit 131 Xm for acquiring and visually displaying setting information of

  The setting key 131Xk matching the setting key switch 131Xa protrudes to the rear side of the device case 131Xj, and can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by the auxiliary key lever 131Xn protruding to the front side of the device case 131Xj.

  The auxiliary setting operation unit 131X1 for operating the setting switching unit 131Xb manually operates (rotates) the auxiliary setting connection unit 131Xo (hexagonal wrench) protruding to the rear side of the device case 131Xj and the auxiliary setting connection unit 131Xo, for example. And an auxiliary input unit 131Xp. The game setting change device on the pachinko machine 1 side is configured to be able to rotate the setting switching unit 131Xb with a hexagonal wrench of the same standard as the auxiliary setting connection unit 131Xo in accordance with the auxiliary setting operation unit 131X1. In addition, if setting change part 131Xb of game setting change apparatus and auxiliary setting connection part 131Xo are set to the combination of a special standard, change operation of setting change part 131Xb can not be performed unless auxiliary setting connection part 131Xo is used. , Improve the crime prevention performance.

  The auxiliary setting visual display unit 131Xm that acquires setting information of the game setting change device and displays it visually converts the light signal acquired by the light sensor 131Xq of the round axis shape and the light sensor 131Xq into a visible display And auxiliary setting display means 131 Xr to be displayed. The setting display portion 131Xc of the game setting change device is, for example, a round hole that can be fitted with the light sensor 131Xq, and the setting value is one-sided by an invisible means such as blinking of light behind the round hole. The blinking of the light is acquired by the optical sensor 131Xq and converted to a visible display by the auxiliary setting display means 131Xr. Therefore, since the setting value of the game setting change device can be viewed only through the auxiliary setting visible display unit 131Xm, the person who does not have the setting auxiliary device 131Xi does not know the setting value, and the crime prevention performance is improved.

  According to the setting auxiliary device 131Xi, when changing the setting value of the change operation means in the above manner, after firmly inserting the setting key 131Xk of the setting auxiliary device 131Xi to the root after the unlocking step of opening the door frame 3, The auxiliary setting connection unit 131Xo (hexagonal wrench) of the auxiliary setting operation unit 131X1 fits into the setting switching unit 131Xb in order of the length, and the light sensor 131Xq of the auxiliary setting visible display unit 131Xm fits into the round hole of the setting display unit 131Xc. If the light sensor 131Xq is finally fitted while being guided by the setting key 131Xk and the auxiliary setting connection part 131Xo in this manner, damage to the delicate light sensor 131Xq can be prevented.

Next, with the setting auxiliary device 131Xi set as described above, the power of the power switch 630a (one of the power switches 630a refer to specific examples 1 to 3), which is an element of the change operation means, is turned off. When the setting key switch 131Xa is turned ON by turning the setting key 131Xk with the key lever 131Xn, and the power switch 630a is turned ON in this state, the setting change mode is switched. Then, the setting information emitted as a one-sided light signal at the back of the circular hole of the setting display section 131Xc is read by the optical sensor 131Xq and visually displayed by the auxiliary setting display means 131Xr. The set value is changed by turning the auxiliary input unit 131Xp while visually checking with means 131Xr.
When the set value is reached, the setting key switch 131Xa is returned to OFF, the setting assisting device 131Xi is removed from the pachinko machine 1, and the door frame 3 or the body frame 4 is locked to complete the setting operation.

The setting auxiliary device 131Xi illustrated is provided with a schedule display unit 131Xs that displays setting values to be changed, in addition to the auxiliary setting display unit 131Xr that displays the current setting values. The setting value to be changed is previously input to the internal data of the setting auxiliary device 131Xi together with the individual number of the pachinko machine 1.
On the other hand, the setting display unit 131Xc of the game setting change device of the pachinko machine 1 transmits its own individual number as a light signal together with the current setting value, and reads it by the light sensor 131Xq of the setting auxiliary device 131Xi Thus, the setting values of the target pachinko machine 1 to be changed are displayed.
Therefore, the person who changes the setting can use the auxiliary input unit of the auxiliary setting operation unit 131X1 until the setting value of the change schedule displayed on the schedule display unit 131Xs matches the display of the auxiliary setting display unit 131Xr indicating the current setting value. Since it is sufficient to rotate the 131Xp, setting work can be performed efficiently and setting errors are less likely to occur.

  Further, the auxiliary input unit 131Xp of the setting auxiliary device 131Xi is driven by an electric motor (not shown), and in the setting change mode, the schedule display unit 131Xs indicating at least the setting value to be changed is hidden and the auxiliary input unit 131Xp is automatically If the setting change is displayed by turning on the auxiliary setting display means 131 Xr simultaneously, for example, the person who performs the setting operation does not know the set value of the hit probability. There is no risk of leakage of information of the high pachinko machine 1.

[Relationship between concrete examples and technical ideas]
The game setting change devices of the specific examples 1 and 2 correspond to the embodiments of the following technical ideas.
“A frame or box-like fixed part fixedly attached to the game machine installation part in the facility,
A door frame formed so as to cover the front surface of the fixed portion and to be able to turn in a half-opened manner;
It is a game machine which has a main frame located on the rear side of the door frame and formed so as to be able to turn in a half-opening manner with respect to the door frame and the fixing portion,
It is equipped with a game setting change device that can change the game setting of the winning probability by lottery within a predetermined range,
A game machine characterized by providing all the change operation means for changing the setting value of the game setting change device on the rear side of the door frame and / or on the front side of the main body frame. "
According to this gaming machine, when changing the setting of the hitting probability with the game setting change device, it is only necessary to turn the door frame provided with the parts for presentation, so the risk of disconnection at the time of turning In addition, the inside of the island facility is closed by the main frame even if the door frame is turned, so the risk of damage to the ball circulation facility by dropping foreign objects such as tools is small, and employees Therefore, the risk of fraud that the wrong part is supplied to the back of the gaming machine is small. In addition, even if the door frame is turned, there is almost no risk that the out-of-sphere / safe-ball counter setting will be shifted, so there is almost no risk of data failure due to the out-of-counter setting, and the door frame has a ball tank Since the weight is not so light, the physical burden of setting change can be reduced.

The game setting change device of Example 3 corresponds to an embodiment of the following technical idea.
[Technical thought of specific example 3]
“A frame or box-like fixed part fixedly attached to the game machine installation part in the facility,
A door frame formed so as to cover the front surface of the fixing portion and to be pivotable in a half-opening manner with respect to the fixing portion;
It is a game machine which has a main frame located on the rear side of the door frame and formed so as to be able to turn in a half-opening manner with respect to the door frame and the fixing portion,
It is equipped with a game setting change device that can change the game setting of the winning probability by lottery within a predetermined range,
A portion of the change operation means for changing the setting value of the game setting change device is provided on the rear side of the door frame and / or the front side of the main body frame, and the other portion of the change operation means is on the rear of the main body frame A gaming machine provided in the fixed portion on the rear side of the main body frame in the side and / or closed state. "
According to such a gaming machine, it is necessary to unlock the door frame and the body frame in order to execute the change operation. Since the risk of finding that it takes time for fraud is high, it is difficult for a person who attempts fraud to recognize it as a type that is difficult to attack, and of course it becomes difficult to be targeted.

  As mentioned above, although the crime prevention structure of the game setting which used the structure of the pachinko machine 1 was explained, internal RAM is cleared automatically, for example by changing main control part 1310 to setting change mode besides the above However, a RAM clear switch for manually clearing the RAM of the main control unit 1310 may be provided near the change operation means so that maintenance of the gaming machine including the change of the hit probability can be efficiently performed.

In the above, the game setting change device can change the game setting of the winning probability by lottery within a predetermined range, but as described above, it is possible to change to a specific receiving port (for example, fixed start winning opening 4813). It may be possible to change the entry probability (feature lottery) of
Specifically, the management number No. in FIG. 20, “set 1 = 324”, “set 2 = 320”, and “set 3 to set 6 = 316” for the excitation time (ms) of the first distribution stepping motor 4908. Even if the excitation time (ms) of the second distribution stepping motor 4909 at 21 is set as “setting 1 to setting 3 = 428”, “setting 4 = 420”, “setting 5 = 416”, and “setting 6 = 412” Good. By doing this, since the time during which the first electric distribution piece 4835 and the second electric distribution piece 4840 are stopped at the disadvantage of the player changes, the ball entering probability to the specific receiving port changes. The target of change is set to the first electric distribution piece 4835 in the setting 1 to the setting 3, the target of change is set to the second electric distribution piece 4840 in the setting 4 to the setting 6, and the places where the change of movement appears are dispersed As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the change due to the setting change.
