  The handle unit 110 is inclined such that the rotation axis of the handle 111 moves to the right as it goes forward. As a result, the player can easily hold the handle 111 of the handle unit 110, and can perform the turning operation without a sense of discomfort. Further, the handle unit 110 is configured such that the handle base 113 can be extended and contracted in the direction in which the rotation axis of the handle 111 extends, and can be held at a desired extended and contracted position. Thereby, since the position of the handle 111 in the front-rear direction can be adjusted, the handle 111 can be operated at a position where the player can easily operate.

  The handle 111 is supported by the handle base 113 so as to be rotatable only within a predetermined angular range. The handle 111 has a plurality of (here, four) protrusions which are separated in the circumferential direction and project from the outer peripheral surface. The handle cover 112 has translucency, and can be decorated with various colors by means of a plurality of full color LEDs disposed behind.

  The handle rotation detection sensor 114 of the handle unit 110 is a variable resistor whose internal resistance changes in accordance with the rotation angle of the handle 111. In accordance with the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 114 which is changed by the rotation operation of the handle 111, the driving force of the launch solenoid 331 in the ball launch device 330 described later changes, and the gaming ball has a strength according to the rotation angle of the handle 111. B can be driven into the game area 5a.

  The handle touch sensor of the handle unit 110 detects the electrostatic capacitance of the handle 111 or the like. When the player contacts the handle 111 or the like, the electrostatic capacity of the handle 111 or the like changes. Therefore, whether or not the player is touching the handle 111 is detected by detecting the electrostatic capacity of the handle 111 or the like by the handle touch sensor. Detect In the present embodiment, when the handle 111 is detected while the handle touch sensor 115 detects a player's touch, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 114 is accepted, and the strength according to the rotation angle of the handle 111 is received. The driving of the shooting solenoid 331 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 111 in some way without touching the handle 111, the handle touch sensor 115 does not detect the player's contact.

  The setting key switch 1311a, the setting switching button 1311b, and the setting indicator 1310g will be briefly described. Here, first, the case of performing the setting change of the setting value will be briefly described, and the case of performing the confirmation display of the current setting value will be briefly described. In addition, since the setting key is an important key that can be used to confirm the current setting value set in addition to changing the setting value, only a limited person, including the game hall manager, has possession. Allowed, limited to 2-3 people.

  When changing the setting of the set value, the main frame of the outer frame 2 is restored at the time of power restoration of the pachinko machine 1 or at the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery after a power failure (temporary power failure occurs). 4 is released, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311 a, and the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise toward the setting key switch 1311 a It is necessary to establish the "predetermined setting value change permission condition" that the setting key is turned on and the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated. That is, a person who actually changes the setting of the setting value first confirms that the pachinko machine 1 is not powered on (the state in which the pachinko machine 1 is powered off), and then the outer frame 2 is selected. Do the work of opening the main frame 4 and then insert the setting key into the setting key cylinder insertion hole of the setting key switch 1311a and turn it clockwise by 60 degrees and turn it ON to set the setting key switch 1311a The setting key is turned on, and then the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while operating the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f.

  The person who changes the setting of the setting value first confirms that the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the state where the pachinko machine 1 is turned off), and then the main frame 4 Perform opening work, then insert the setting key into the setting key cylinder insertion hole of the setting key switch 1311a, turn the setting key cylinder clockwise by 60 degrees, and turn it ON to set the setting key switch 1311a Set the setting key to ON. Subsequently, while operating the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f of FIG. 21, the power switch 630 a is operated to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1. As a result, a signal of setting key ON is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310. Main control MPU 1310a is set to the current setting value stored in a specific area of its built-in RAM (setting value 1 to setting value 6 when setting key cylinder of setting key switch 1311a is turned ON) Value is displayed on the setting display 1310g, and the setting change permission lamp 1311c is switched from the light-off state to the light-on state.

  When a setting change of the setting value is performed, the detection signal from the setting change button 1311 b of the setting change board 1311 is transmitted from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310. Input to The main control MPU 1310a sets the current setting value based on the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b of the setting change board 1311 every time the person who performs setting change of the setting value presses the pressing operation unit of the setting switching button 1311b. The value is increased by 1 from the value to the set value 6 which is the maximum value, and the control returns to the set value 1 which is the initial value, is increased again by 1 and performs control to display the set value on the setting indicator 1310g.

  The person who performs setting change of the setting value, when determining the setting value, sets the setting key switch 1311 a to the initial position which is the original position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key is turned on (that is, the setting key switch 1311 a To return to the setting key cylinder's rotational position) which is turned OFF, turn 60 degrees counterclockwise and turn OFF. This setting key OFF signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310. Thereby, the main control MPU 1310a stores the set value determined by changing the setting in a specific area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a, and hides the state where the set value is displayed on the setting display 1310g. It switches to a state, and switches from a state in which the setting change permission lamp 1311 c is lighted to a state in which it is extinguished.

  A person who changes the setting of the setting removes the setting key from the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311 a and closes the body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 and changes the setting of the setting. Complete.

  When the confirmation display of the currently set setting value is performed, the outer frame 2 is restored at the time of power on of the pachinko machine 1 or at the time of the power recovery after power failure (temporary power failure occurs momentary power failure). On the other hand, the main body frame 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311 a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees and turned on. It is necessary to satisfy the "predetermined setting value display permitting condition" that the setting key switch 1311a is turned on and the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated. That is, a person who performs confirmation display of the setting value that is currently set is first after confirming that the pachinko machine 1 is not powered on (state where the pachinko machine 1 is powered off). Perform work to open the main body frame 4 to the frame 2, and then insert the setting key into the setting key cylinder insertion hole of the setting key switch 1311a and turn it clockwise by 60 degrees to turn it on As a result, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on for the setting key, and then the pachinko machine 1 is powered on without operating the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f.

  The person who performs confirmation display of the currently set setting value first confirms that the pachinko machine 1 is not powered on (the state where the pachinko machine 1 is powered off), and then checks the outer frame 2. Open the main frame 4 and then insert the setting key into the setting key cylinder insertion hole of the setting key switch 1311a and turn the setting key cylinder clockwise by 60 degrees to turn it on Then, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. Subsequently, the power switch 630a is operated to turn on the pachinko machine 1 without operating the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f. As a result, a signal of setting key ON is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310. Main control MPU 1310a is set to the current setting value stored in a specific area of its built-in RAM (setting value 1 to setting value 6 when setting key cylinder of setting key switch 1311a is turned ON) Value) is displayed on the setting display 1310g. At this time, the state in which the setting change permission lamp 1311 c is turned off is maintained, and even if a person performing confirmation display of the currently set setting value presses the pressing operation portion of the setting switching button 1311 b, the pressing operation is performed. Correspondingly, the setting value is not changed at all, and the content displayed on the setting display 1310g is not changed either.

  When the confirmation display of the set value currently set is completed, when the confirmation of the set value currently set is completed, the initial position which is the original position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311 a is turned on In order to return to the position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a), the turning operation is performed 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn it off. This setting key OFF signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310. As a result, the main control MPU 1310a switches from the state where the setting value is displayed on the setting display 1310g to the state where the setting value is not displayed.

  The person performing confirmation display of the currently set setting value removes the setting key from the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and performs an operation of closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2, Complete the task of confirming the set value displayed.

  In addition, as described above, the preset value change permission condition set in advance is the outer frame at the time of power recovery at power on of the pachinko machine 1 or at the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery after a power failure (temporary power failure occurs) The main body frame 4 is opened from 2 and the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise and turned on. While it is necessary that the setting key is turned on and the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f needs to be operated, the preset setting display permission condition of the pachinko machine 1 is as described above. At the time of power on or at the time of power recovery after power recovery after a power failure (temporary power failure occurs momentarily), the main body frame 4 is opened to the outer frame 2, and the setting key switch 1311a is set. The setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the key cylinder, and the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise and turned on by turning on the setting key cylinder, and the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is It is necessary that it is not operated. As described above, the preset setting change permission condition and the preset setting display permission condition are set when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power outage may occur). At the time of power recovery, the main body 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 key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned 60 degrees clockwise. There is a common requirement in that the setting key is turned on by moving and turning ON, and the preset setting change permission conditions set in advance are “when power of pachinko machine 1 is turned on or power is interrupted (instantly In contrast to the requirement that the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated at the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery after the momentary power failure), the preset setting value display permission condition is set. "Required that the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated at the time of power recovery at the time of power restoration of the pachinko machine 1 and power recovery after power failure (temporary power failure). It differs in the point to be.

  Here, to briefly explain the set value, the “set value” is usually from the time of definite variation, in addition to the probability for lottery determination whether it is a big hit or not and the probability for lottery whether it is a small hit or not. It is possible to change the probability for making a lottery determination, the distribution rate to an area that is advantageous to the player, etc. when shifting to time, which is advantageous for the player (that is, the player gains) The probability (the degree of advantage) that can increase the number of game balls that can be played 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. The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 uses various tables used in various lottery determinations associated with set 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 Select various tables (for example, a distribution table that specifies the distribution time, a block that manages the drive of an electric drive source such as a motor or solenoid, etc.) 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. Out of the game balls launched into the game area 5 a, the game balls collected by the out port 1008 are detected by the out port sensor 3032, and this detection signal is input to the main control MPU 1310 a through the panel 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 key 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 it on. This setting key The ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on at the setting key ON position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder The setting key switch 1311a can be turned OFF by the setting key cylinder being turned 60 degrees counterclockwise and turned OFF so as to return the key switch 1311a to the turning position of the setting key cylinder). This OFF signal from the setting change board 1311 to the main control board 1310 Although the main control MPU 1310a is configured to be input, the setting key switch 1311a may be provided with a serial output circuit that can serially output information transmitting setting keys ON and OFF as serial information. Good. Thereby, security can be improved with respect to the signal from the setting key switch 1311a. The setting key switch 1311a provided with this serial output circuit is provided on the setting change substrate 1311 but may be provided on the main control substrate 1310 instead, or may be provided on the payout control substrate 633. . When serial information serially output from the serial output circuit is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, the main control MPU 1310a selects one of setting keys ON and OFF from the received serial information. It is possible to determine which one is to be transmitted (an aspect of the setting key switch 1311 a having a serial circuit may be described as “modification (1) of setting key”).

  In the embodiment described above, the setting key 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 it on. The ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on at the setting key ON position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder The setting key switch 1311a can be turned OFF by the setting key cylinder being turned 60 degrees counterclockwise and turned OFF so as to return the key switch 1311a to the turning position of the setting key cylinder). This OFF signal from the setting change board 1311 to the main control board 1310 The setting key switch 1311 a may be provided with a pulse output circuit capable of outputting information transmitting setting keys ON and OFF to the outside as a pulse signal although the main control MPU 1310 a is configured to be input. . Thereby, security can be improved with respect to the signal from the setting key switch 1311a. Although the setting key switch 1311 a provided with this pulse output circuit is provided on the setting change substrate 1311, it may be provided on the main control substrate 1310 instead, or may be provided on the payout control substrate 633. . 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 5 ms in the case of information for transmitting the OFF. . When the pulse signal output from the pulse output circuit is input from the setting change substrate 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control substrate 1310, the main control MPU 1310 a generates the setting signal ON and OFF from the input pulse signal. It is possible to determine which information to convey (a mode of the setting key switch 1311 a having a pulse output circuit may be described as “modification (2) of setting key”).

  In the embodiment described above, the setting key 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 it on. The ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on at the setting key ON position from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder The setting key switch 1311a can be turned OFF by the setting key cylinder being turned 60 degrees counterclockwise and turned OFF so as to return the key switch 1311a to the turning position of the setting key cylinder). This OFF signal from the setting change board 1311 to the main control board 1310 Although the voltage level of the signal of the setting key ON and the voltage level of the signal of OFF are input to the main control MPU 1310 a, an intermediate potential is generated between the substrates extending from the setting change substrate 1311 to the main control substrate 1310. A main control board 1310 is provided with a comparator circuit using a potential (for example, a potential of 2 V to 3 V among zero V to 5 V), and the comparison result by the comparator circuit is input to the main control MPU 1310 a to perform main control The MPU 1310a may determine ON / OFF of the signal of setting key ON and ON / OFF of the signal of OFF. Thereby, security can be improved with respect to the signal from the setting key switch 1311 a (an aspect of the setting key switch using an intermediate potential may be described as “modification (3) of setting key”).

  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 switch 1311a provided on the setting change board 1311 is turned on (that is, the setting key cylinder turns off the setting key switch 1311a) The setting key switch 1311a can be turned OFF by turning it 60 degrees counterclockwise and turning it OFF to return to the rotational position of the main control board, and the OFF signal is output from the setting change board 1311 to the main control board. Although the input was made to the main control MPU 1310a of 1310, the setting key switch 1311a may be provided on the main control board 1310 (a mode of the setting key switch is "modification (4) of the setting key". And may be written).

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the main control board 1310 and the setting change board 1311 are accommodated in the internal space of the main control board box 1320 configured of the cover body and the base body, but the setting change board 1311 is It may be accommodated in the body setting change board box and arranged around or adjacent to the main control board box 1320. In the main control board box 1320, the cover body and the base body are crimped by a one-way screw or the like of a crimped portion. This caulking part is a sealing mechanism, and is provided with two or more. The main control board box 1320 can be closed by caulking the cover body and the base body by a one-way screw or the like of the caulking portion using one sealing mechanism, and then, to open the main control board box 1320, It is necessary to destroy the sealing mechanism. That is, the cover body can not be removed from the base body unless the sealing mechanism is broken. Such a structure of the main control board box 1320 can also be applied to the structure of the setting change board box. In this case, the front surface of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and the pressing operation portion of the determination key button are exposed through the opening formed in the cover of the main control board box 1320 corresponding to each. Changing the setting change board 1311 by invading a wire or the like from the "gap" formed in the front face of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and in the opening corresponding to the pressing operation part of the enter key button As it can not do, it becomes a structure where a wire intrusion prevention part is molded to a cover body to an opening. In addition, unlike the structure of the main control board box 1320 described above as the structure of the setting change board box, when the cover body is configured to be able to be opened or closed from the base body, with respect to the base body, A setting change substrate cover body opening / closing switch capable of detecting the opening of the cover body may be provided. In this case, a detection signal from the setting change substrate cover body opening / closing switch may be directly input to the main control substrate 1310, or (indirect) input to the main control substrate 1310 via the setting change substrate 1311. It may be configured to be Based on the detection signal from the setting change substrate 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 (the setting change substrate box An aspect may be described as "the modification (5) of a setting key".

  Moreover, you may employ | adopt the aspect which selected suitably and was combined among the modification (1)-(5) of the setting key mentioned above. (The aspect of the selection combination of a modification is "a modification of a setting key (6) 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 1310 is changed in design according to such a game specification and the hardware configuration of the setting change board 1311 is changed in design or not used, the main control board 1310 and the setting change board 1311 Is dependent on the game specification, it has a main control board 1310 and a setting change board 1311 having similar or different hardware configurations according to the game specification. Therefore, there is a demand for a main control board 1310 and a setting change board 1311 which can be commonly used 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 (probability) 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. Peripheral control board 1510 that receives a setting change command (described as a setting change completion command in FIG. 65) from main control MPU 1310a performs peripheral control with a content (actual machine check operation pattern) corresponding to the setting value included in the setting change command. The operation of the movable body (character) to be controlled by the substrate 1510 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 sound volume adjustment switch provided on the periphery control board 1510. By turning the volume adjustment switch, 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 to the direction to decrease the volume (moved to the opposite direction to the direction to increase the volume), and the movement to the minimum volume end is completed When it is adjusted and adjusted to the minimum side volume, it 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 to the direction to increase the volume by the volume adjustment switch (moved to the opposite direction to the direction to decrease the volume), and movement to the maximum volume end is completed When the volume is adjusted to the maximum side volume, the maximum volume may be used, 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 volume adjustment switch 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 volume adjustment switch provided on the peripheral control board 1510 (that is, not depended on), and the pachinko machine that emits an error notification sound by setting the volume to the maximum volume is the game hall Although it may be easy for a clerk or other clerk to notice, the player who is playing a game with another pachinko machine may find it annoying. 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 in the modification (6) of the setting key described above.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2 at the time of power recovery 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 And the setting key is inserted by inserting the setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to be turned on by the setting key ON. On the premise that the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is pressed, the main control MPU 1310 a performs setting change processing in main control side power-on processing to be described later, and out of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM The game is progressed by clearing except the specific area and then performing interrupt permission setting etc., while the RAM clear switch 1310 When the pushing operation section of is not depressed, the main control MPU1310a performs setting value confirmation display processing at the time of the main control side power-on processing to be described later, then, proceeds a game by performing an interrupt enable setting. 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. 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.

When the game ball B passes through the second start opening guide shelf 2423, if the second start opening 2004 is opened, the game ball B is accepted to the second start opening 2004 with a very high probability.

  The game ball B received in the second start port 2004 is detected by the second start port sensor 2402 and then discharged downward (on the substrate holder 1200) on the rear side of the game panel 1100. If the gaming ball B which has flowed down the right side of the center prize 2500 is not received by the second start opening 2004, it is released to the left side of the large winning opening 2005 through the second start opening guide shelf 2423.

  Since a plurality of obstacle nails N are implanted on the left side of the second start opening guide shelf 2423, the gaming ball B released to the left from the second start opening guide shelf 2423 is the big winning opening 2005 side, Or, it will flow down to either of the intermediate passage 2427 side. When the big prize mouth 2005 is closed by the big prize mouth door 2413 when flowing down to the big prize mouth 2005 side, it is guided to the left by the big prize mouth door 2413 and from the left end of the big prize mouth induction shelf 2424 It is released to the left. When the large winning opening door 2413 closing the large winning opening 2005 is retreated and the large winning opening 2005 is open, the gaming ball B which has flowed from the second starting opening induction shelf 2423 to the large winning opening 2005 side, It is accepted in the big prize mouth 2005. The game ball B accepted by the big winning opening 2005 is detected by the big winning opening sensor 2403 and then discharged downward (on the substrate holder 1200) on the rear side of the gaming panel 1100.

  The game ball B that has entered the intermediate passage 2427 from the second starting opening guide shelf 2423 and the game ball B released to the left from the large winning opening guide shelf 2424 pass the out port 1008 to the rear side of the game panel 1100. At the bottom of the substrate holder 1200).

  On the other hand, the game ball B supplied above the general winning a prize opening 2001 of the attacker unit 2400 through the distribution passage group 2520 of the center character 2500 is not accepted by the general winning a prize opening 2001. When entering the right attachment passage 2422, it abuts on the step 1005 a of the right rail 1005 and bounces back to the left. In the present embodiment, the second start opening guide shelf 2423 is provided such that the extension line of the second start opening guide shelf 2423 matches the step 1005 a of the right rail 1005, and therefore, it enters the attacker right passage 2422 Then, the game ball B rebounded at the step 1005 a of the right rail 1005 will fall (distribute) on the second starting opening guide shelf 2423 through the communication opening 2425 with high probability.

  When the gaming ball B which has entered the right attachment passage 2422 and abuts on the step 1005 a of the right rail 1005 bounces upward from the communication opening 2425, the partitioning portion 2428 forming the upper end side of the communication opening 2425 Since the inclined portion 2429 is provided at the lower end, the gaming ball B comes in contact with the inclined portion 2429. The inclined portion 2429 is inclined so that the upper end is positioned to the right with respect to the lower end, so the gaming ball B in contact with the inclined portion 2429 is reflected to the lower right lower passage 2426 side, The attacker enters the lower right passage 2426. When the gaming ball B in contact with the step 1005 a of the right rail 1005 bounces downward below the communication port 2425, the gaming ball B enters the lower right passage 2426 of the attacker.

  The game ball B entering the lower right attack passage 2426 is discharged from the out port 1008 to the outside of the game area 5a without an opportunity to be accepted by the second start port 2004 and the big winning port 2005.

  In addition, the attacker unit 2400 includes a sub-function display unit 2450 above the second start port 2004. The sub-function display unit 2450 has a plurality of (six in this case) full-color LEDs. The sub function display unit 2450 is interlocked with the normal symbol display, the first special symbol display, and the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400, and the gate unit by the lighting / flashing of the LED, the light emission color, etc. Display the first special lottery result and the second special lottery result which are drawn by the acceptance of the game ball B to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004. It is

  Furthermore, the attacker unit 2400 includes a magnetic sensor 2470 that detects magnetism (see FIG. 61). The magnetic sensor 2470 is for detecting fraudulent activity using a magnet.

[5-8 d. Center feature]
The center character 2500 of the front unit 2000 is disposed above the starting opening unit 2100 and slightly above the center of the front view in the game area 5a, and is attached to the front of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100. ing. The center character 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 the various effect units provided in the back unit 3000, etc. through the frame. it can. In addition, the center character 2500 is formed substantially transparent in its entirety, and the rear side (the rear unit 3000) can be visually recognized.

  In the frame-shaped center character 2500, the entire circumference excluding the lower side protrudes forward relative to the front surface of the panel board 1110 of the game panel 1100, and the game ball B inserted into the game area 5a is within the frame. It can not intrude into

  The center character 2500 has a warp entrance 2501 in which the game ball B in the game area 5a is open to the outer peripheral surface on the left side of the front view, and a game ball B which has entered the warp entrance 2501 can be released A warp outlet 2502 opened inward and a stage 2503 which can be released into the game area 5a after rolling the gaming ball B released from the warp outlet 2502 in the left-right direction are provided.

  The stage 2503 of the center character 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 character 2500 is The position substantially at the center in the left-right direction in the state of being attached to 1110) is formed in a wave shape (W-shape) so as to be slightly higher than the left and right sides. In this stage 2503, a portion (center emission portion 2503 a) slightly higher than the left and right sides in the center in the left-right direction and the lowest portions (side emission portions 2503 b) on the left and right sides thereof are directed forward. It inclines so that it may become low, and can release game ball B in the game area 5a from those sites.

  When the center role 2500 is assembled on the game board 5, the raised portion (central release portion 2503 a) at the center in the left-right direction of the stage 2503 is positioned directly above the first start port 2002 of the start port unit 2100. ing. As a result, when the gaming ball B is released from the central release portion 2503 a at the center of the stage 2503, it is accepted by the first starting opening 2002 with a very high probability.

  The center product 2500 includes a gate portion 2003 provided below the center in the vertical direction and at a position to the right of the outer peripheral surface on the right side. The gate unit 2003 is vertically penetrated with a size that allows only one game ball B to pass, and a gate sensor 2506 that detects the passage of the game ball is provided. The gate portion 2003 is provided between the frame-shaped outer peripheral surface of the center character 2500 at an interval where only one game ball B can pass.

  In addition, the center character 2500 constitutes a part of the outer peripheral surface on the upper side, and is inclined so as to become lower from the position on the left side to the right than the center in the left-right direction , And a distribution passage group 2520 which is provided in the upper right corner and includes a plurality of passages through which the game balls B can be distributed. The flow passage group 2520 extends vertically from near the right end of the upper right circumferential wall 2510 to above the gate portion 2003.

  As shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. 28 etc., the distribution passage group 2520 is provided outside the frame of the center part 2500 and is provided adjacent to the first distribution passage 2521 and the left side of the first distribution passage 2521 And a second circulation passage 2522. The first circulation passage 2521 extends in an arc shape along the peripheral edge (right rail 1005) of the game area 5a downward from the entrance side of the upper end, and the lower end portion is bent like a crank to the left and the outlet is downward Opening towards the The outlet at the lower end of the first circulation passage 2521 is positioned slightly to the right with respect to immediately above the gate portion 2003.

  The inlet of the upper end of the second flow passage 2522 is opened leftwardly spaced from the inlet of the first flow passage 2521 and is bent in the crank shape in the vicinity of the upper end. Adjacent to the flow passage 2521 and extending downward in an arc, cranking to the left near the lower end and then bending right to the crank, with the outlet adjacent to the outlet of the first flow passage 2521 and downward Opening towards the Thereby, the second flow passage 2522 can attenuate the flow speed of the gaming ball B more than the first flow passage 2521. In the first distribution passage 2521 and the second distribution passage 2522, a plurality of protrusions 2523 are provided at intervals in the distribution direction of the game ball B, and the game ball B is in contact with the protrusions 2523. Can reduce the flow rate.

  The center role product 2500 is on the upstream side of the distribution passage group 2520 between the upper right peripheral wall 2510 and the outer rail 1001 of the front component 1000 (the periphery of the game area 5a) in the assembled state on the game board 5. An upstream space 2511 through which the game ball B can circulate is formed. Moreover, in the state assembled to the game board 5, the entrance of the upper end of the first distribution passage 2521 of the distribution passage group 2520 is located directly under the stopper 1006, and the first distribution passage 2521 is the right rail 1005 (game It extends along the periphery of the region 5a. Further, a gap through which the game ball B can pass is formed between the gate portion 2003 of the center character 2500 and the right rail 1005 (the periphery of the game area 5a).

5-8 e. Flow of the game ball by the distribution passage group of the center goods]
Next, the flow of the gaming balls B by the distribution passage group 2520 of the center prize 2500 in the gaming area 5a will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the state assembled on the game board 5, a plurality of obstacle nails N between the distribution passage group 2520 of the center character 2500 and the gate unit 2003 and between the gate unit 2003 and the general winning opening 2001 of the attacker unit 2400. Is planted. As for a plurality of obstacle nails N embedded between the distribution passage group 2520 and the gate portion 2003, the game balls B which have flowed through the first distribution passage 2521 are on the right side of the gate portion 2003 (gate portion 2003 and right rail 1005 And between), has been adjusted to flow with high probability. In addition, in the plurality of obstacle nails N embedded between the distribution passage group 2520 and the gate unit 2003, the game balls B which have flowed through the second distribution passage 2522 pass through the gate unit 2003 with high probability. It has been adjusted. Furthermore, with respect to the plurality of obstacle nails N embedded between the distribution passage group 2520 and the gate portion 2003, the gaming ball B which has flowed through the second distribution passage 2522 has a gate portion with high probability next to the gate portion 2003. It is adjusted to circulate on the left side of 2003.

  On the other hand, with respect to a plurality of obstacle nails N embedded between the gate unit 2003 and the general winning opening 2001 of the attacker unit 2400, the gaming balls B distributed on the right side of the gate unit 2003 have a high probability of the attacker unit 2400. It is adjusted to enter the attacker right passage 2422. Also, with respect to the plurality of obstacle nails N embedded between the gate unit 2003 and the general winning opening 2001 of the attacker unit 2400, the gaming ball B distributed on the left side of the gate unit 2003 or the gate unit 2003 has a high probability. It is adjusted to enter the left adjacency left passage 2421 on the left side of the general winning a prize opening 2001 of the attacker unit 2400, and is adjusted to be accepted by the general ad libitum opening 2001 with a high probability next to the adjacency left aisle 2421.

  In the gaming board 5 of this embodiment, when the game ball B is hit with the strength that the game ball B enters above the upper right peripheral wall 2510 (upstream space 2511) of the center character 2500, the distribution passage group 2520 is obtained. The game ball B circulates through either the first circulation passage 2521 or the second circulation passage 2522. Specifically speaking, the game ball B is driven with strength to abut against the stopper portion 1006 protruding inward from the outer rail 1001 which constitutes a part of the periphery of the game area 5a (so-called, right And the gaming ball B in contact with the stopper 1006 enters the first circulation passage 2521. The game ball B which has entered the first distribution passage 2521 has a high probability of being on the right side of the gate portion 2003 by a plurality of obstacle nails N which are interposed between the downstream end of the first distribution passage 2521 and the gate portion 2003. Pass through. Then, the gaming ball B which has passed the right side of the gate unit 2003 enters the attacker right passage 2422 with a high probability due to the plurality of obstacle nails N implanted between the gate unit 2003 and the attacker unit 2400. The game ball B that has entered into the attacking right passage 2422 will flow through either the second starting opening guide shelf 2423 or the attacking lower right passage 2426.

  As described above, since the gaming balls B distributed in the first distribution passage 2521 do not pass through the gate portion 2003 very much, the lottery of the result of the regular lottery performed by the passing of the gaming portion B at the gate portion 2003 is not performed very much. There is a low possibility that the result of the normal lottery in which the second start port 2004 is opened will be lottery. Therefore, even if the game ball B which has flowed through the first distribution passage 2521 flows through the second start opening guide shelf 2423 through the right-hand attachment 2422, the second start opening 2004 is often closed and the second start Since the game ball B is not received very much in the mouth 2004, there are few opportunities to be provided with benefits such as the lottery of the second special lottery result and the payout of the game ball B by the game ball B being received in the second starting hole 2004. Therefore, when the gaming ball B circulates through the first distribution passage 2521, the bonus given to the player is relatively small.

  In the above, although the case of hitting the right has been described, the game ball B hit with a strength that jumps over the entrance of the second flow passage 2522 opened near the right end of the upper right circumferential wall 2510 is also It enters into the first circulation passage 2521, and the same result as described above is obtained.

  On the other hand, when the game ball B driven into the upstream space 2511 enters the second circulation passage 2522 and circulates through the second circulation passage 2522, between the downstream end of the second circulation passage 2522 and the gate portion 2003 By the plurality of obstacle nails N which are implanted, the gate portion 2003 is passed with high probability, and the lottery of the result of the ordinary lottery is performed. The game ball B which has passed through the gate unit 2003 enters the left passage 2421 with a high probability by a plurality of obstacle nails N embedded between the gate unit 2003 and the attacker unit 2400, and from the left passage 2421 The second starting opening guide shelf 2423 is circulated.

  At this time, since the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 and the normal lottery result is drawn, if the drawn ordinary lottery result is “normal hit”, the second starting opening 2004 has a predetermined pattern. The game ball B may be received by the second start port 2004 because the game ball B is in the open state. Then, when the game ball B is received by the second start port 2004, a lottery of the second special lottery result is performed and a bonus such as a predetermined number of game balls B is paid out. Therefore, when the gaming ball B circulates through the second distribution passage 2522, the bonus given to the player becomes relatively high (large).

  From such a thing, the player is more likely to receive a benefit in the second distribution passage 2522, so that the game ball B enters the upstream space portion 2511 with a hitting strength and The hitting strength of the game ball B is adjusted so that the game ball B is hit in the game area 5a by the hitting strength at which the ball B enters the second distribution passage 2522. A change can be given to the hitting operation, which can make it difficult for the player to get bored, and enjoys the hitting operation of the game ball B aiming at the entrance of the second distribution passage 2522 to the player. It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest for the player's game.

  In addition, in the case of the "big hit" etc. which the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result which is drawn by the reception of the game ball B to the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004 causes the advantageous gaming state, The large winning opening 2005 becomes ready to receive the game ball B with a predetermined opening / closing pattern, and when the large holding hole 2005 receives the gaming ball B, many gaming balls B will be paid out. In such an advantageous gaming state ("big hit gaming state"), if the player is required to adjust the hitting strength of the game ball B, some players may feel impatient or frustrated, There is a risk of lowering the interest for However, in the present embodiment, when the game ball B is hit to the right and the first distribution passage 2521 is made to flow, after passing through the right side of the gate portion 2003 and the attacker right passage 2422, the step portion 1005 a of the right rail 1005 communicates. The game ball B can be distributed to the big winning opening induction shelf 2424 (big winning opening 2005 side) by bouncing back toward the opening 2425 and falling to the second starting opening induction shelf 2423 through the communication opening 2425. Therefore, it is possible to allow the game ball B to be accepted to the large winning opening 2005 by the easy hitting operation without adjusting the delicate hitting operation, and the player can enjoy the game in the advantageous gaming state. At the same time, the hitting operation of the game ball B can be sharpened in accordance with the gaming state, and a decrease in the player's interest can be suppressed.

[5-8 f. Another embodiment of the distribution channel group of the center product]
Subsequently, the distribution passage group 2520 of the center product 2500 of the embodiment different from the above will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 30 to 32. FIG. 30 (a) is an enlarged view of an essential part showing an embodiment of a distribution passage group of center characters different from FIG. 28 etc., and FIG. 30 (b) is a distribution passage group of center characters different from (a). It is a principal part enlarged view showing an embodiment. FIG. 31 (a) is an enlarged view of an essential part showing an embodiment of the distribution passage group of the center product further different from FIG. 30, and FIG. 31 (b) is a main part showing the embodiment of the distribution passage group FIG. FIG. 32 is an enlarged view of an essential part showing an embodiment of a distribution passage group of center products different from those in FIG. 30 and FIG. In FIGS. 30 and 31, the same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 30 (a), compared with FIG. 28, the inlet at the upper end of the second flow passage 2522 is flowed at a distance separated to the left with respect to the inlet of the first flow passage 2521. It is The same function and effect as described above can be achieved also by the flow passage group 2520.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 30 (b), the angle of the stopper 1006 is such that the gaming ball B in contact with the stopper 1006 in the front component 1000 can easily bounce back to the entrance side of the second flow passage 2522. Of the upper right peripheral wall 2510 between the inlet of the first flow passage 2521 and the inlet of the second flow passage 2522 so that the second flow passage 2522 side (left side) is lower. It is As a result, since the game ball B easily enters the second distribution passage 2522 side, the adjustment range of the hitting strength of the game ball B in which the game ball B enters the second distribution passage 2522 is broadened, so The game ball B can be easily hit and operated aiming at the entrance of the second distribution passage 2522.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 31A, in the distribution passage group 2520 of FIGS. 28 and 30, the respective inlets of the first distribution passage 2521 and the second distribution passage 2522 are opened upward. The upstream side of the first circulation passage 2521 and the second circulation passage 2522 is extended to near the center in the left-right direction above the center character 2500, and the respective inlets are directed leftward in a state of being vertically aligned It is made to open it.

  In this embodiment, a part of the outer rail 1001 (periphery of the game area 5a) constitutes a part of the first circulation passage 2521 and a part of the upper right circumferential wall 2510 is a part of the second circulation passage 2522. Make up the department. Moreover, in this embodiment, the length in the left-right direction of the upstream space 2511 between the upper right peripheral wall 2510 and the outer rail 1001 (periphery of the game area 5a) is the first circulation from the left end of the upper right peripheral wall 2510 The length to the inlet of each of the passage 2521 and the second flow passage 2522 is smaller than the upstream space 2511 shown in FIG. 28 and FIG.

  In this embodiment, in order to allow the game ball B to enter the entrance of the second circulation passage 2522, a striking strength of the upper right circumferential wall 2510 that abuts a narrow portion on the left side of the entrance of the second circulation passage 2522, As it is necessary to hit the gaming ball B with a hitting strength directly entering the entrance of the second flow passage 2522 opened toward the left, compared with the embodiment of FIGS. 28 and 30, The adjustment range of the hitting strength of the game ball B becomes narrow. In addition, the game ball B inserted into the upstream space portion 2511 on the left of the entrance of the first circulation passage 2521 and the entrance of the second circulation passage 2522 divides the first circulation passage 2521 and the second circulation passage 2522 When it abuts on the left end (a part between two entrances) of the wall, there is a possibility that it may deviate from the upstream space 2511 depending on the momentum and the angle to the left of the rebounding game ball B. That is, even if the game ball B is hit with the strength to enter the upstream space 2511, it does not deviate from the upstream space 2511 to the left and enter neither the first circulation passage 2521 nor the second circulation passage 2522 There is a possibility that the left side of the center character 2500 may be circulated. As such, since the degree of difficulty with respect to the hitting operation of the game ball B becomes high, it is possible to increase the motivation of the player for the hitting operation of the game ball B, and the game medium is hit for the player. It is possible to entertain the operation and suppress the decline in interest.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 31 (b), in the embodiment shown in FIG. 31 (a), a branch portion 2524 communicating with the second flow passage 2522 in one way is provided in the middle of the first flow passage 2521. It is. The branch portion 2524 is provided immediately above the portion bent downward from the right end of the portion (upper right peripheral wall portion 2510) extending to the left and right in the second flow passage 2522. In this embodiment, even if the game ball B is hit with the strength to enter the first distribution passage 2521, the game ball B is second in the branch portion 2524 depending on the hit strength (when the hit strength is weak). Since it branches to the distribution passage 2522 side, the difficulty of distribution of the game ball B to the second distribution passage 2522 can be made lower than that of the embodiment of FIG. 31 (a).

  In addition, in order to make the game ball B enter the second distribution passage 2522, it is necessary to drive the game ball B, which is to be entered into the first distribution passage 2521, weaker than the hitting strength of the game ball B. Since the communicating branch portion 2524 is provided above the downward bending portion of the second flow passage 2522, the gaming ball B entering the second flow passage 2522 is bent at the downward bending portion. It does not bounce upward (on the side of the branch 2524), and does not enter the side of the first flow passage 2521 through the branch 2524. That is, the branch portion 2524 is in one-way communication from the first circulation passage 2521 to the second circulation passage 2522.

  Further, in this embodiment, when entering the inlet of the first flow passage 2521 having the branch portion 2524 in the middle and flowing through the first flow passage 2521, the first flow passage 2521 side in the portion of the branch portion 2524 Alternatively, the player may branch to the second distribution passage 2522 side, so that the player can be squeezed by whether or not the game ball B is branched at the branch portion 2524, and the first distribution can be performed. The flow of the game balls B in the passage 2521 can be enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, even though the player aims at the second distribution passage 2522 and strikes the gaming ball B, the game ball B may enter the entrance of the first distribution passage 2521. Since the branch part 2524 of the first distribution passage 2521 may branch to the second distribution passage 2522 side, it is possible to harass the player depending on whether or not the branch part 2524 branches to the second distribution passage 2522 side. The player can be excited and can entertain the player, and when the branch portion 2524 branches to the second distribution passage 2522 side, the mistake of the player's hitting operation is covered and the desired second distribution passage 2522 is obtained. The game ball B will be distributed, which can make the player feel like he / she has obtained, and can suppress the decrease in interest for the player's game.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 32, the second flow passage 2522 is provided with a bypass portion 2525 which traverses the inside of the frame of the center product 2500. In this embodiment, the inlet of the second flow passage 2522 opens upward at a position on the left side of the left end of the upper right circumferential wall 2510. Therefore, all the game balls B driven into the upstream space 2511 above the upper right circumferential wall 2510 will flow through the first circulation passage 2521. According to this embodiment, when the game ball B enters the entrance of the second distribution passage 2522 and flows through the bypass portion 2525, the game ball B crosses the frame of the center character 2500, so the player side Since it is possible to make the distribution of the game ball B stand out, it becomes possible to make the player think that there is something good after that when the game ball B circulates the bypass portion 2525. Can make the player perform the hitting operation of the game ball B aiming at the entrance of the second distribution passage 2522 having the bypass part 2525, and enjoy the hitting operation of the game ball B to suppress the decrease in interest Can.

  The back second rendering unit 3200 according to the present embodiment causes the LEDs 3241 of the rotating decoration body LED group 3250 to emit light among the plurality of LEDs 3241 mounted on the back second decoration substrate 3240 in a normal state. The rotating decorative body 3210 can be lighted and decorated. That is, 12 circular luminous ornaments arranged on the circumference can be shown to the player. At this time, light emission decoration can be performed in different colors for each rotation decoration body 3210, or the special rotation decoration body 3211 can be light emission decoration in a different color with respect to the normal rotation decoration body 3212.

  Further, by making the twelve rotating decorative body LED groups 3250 emit light in the circumferential direction in order, it is possible to show the player a light emission effect in which the light rotates in the circumferential direction. At this time, before the next rotating decorative body LED group 3250 emits light, the intermediate LED group 3255 located between the rotating decorative body LED group 3250 may emit light. As a result, the light emission between the rotating ornament body LED groups 3250 is compensated by the light emission of the intermediate LED group 3255, and it is possible to show the player a light emission effect that turns more smoothly.

  Further, since each of the rotating decorative body LED groups 3250 is divided into four, ie, the first LED group 3251, the second LED group 3252, the third LED group 3253, and the fourth LED group 3254, for example, After emitting the LED group 3251 and the second LED group 3252, the third LED group 3253 and the fourth LED group 3254 emit light, and subsequently, the third LED group 3253 and the fourth LED group 3254 are adjacent to each other. When the middle LED group 3255 is made to emit light, it is possible to show the player a light emission effect that turns more smoothly and a light emission effect that turns in small increments. When the above-described light-emitting effect is performed according to the revolving speed of the rotating ornament 3210 while revolving the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210 while rotating, LEDs are provided on the rotating ornament 3210 itself as well. It is possible to show the player the effect that the rotating decorative body 3210 revolves while emitting light as if it is.

  Furthermore, in each of the rotating decorative body LED groups 3250, for example, the first LED group 3251, the second LED group 3252, the third LED group 3253, the fourth LED group 3254, the first LED group 3251, ... By emitting light in the proper order, it is possible to show the player such a light emission effect that light is rotating in one rotating decoration body LED group 3250. Thus, when the rotating decorative body 3210 is stopped in the normal state, the first LED group 3251, the second LED group 3252, the third LED group 3253, and the fourth LED group 3254 emit light in order, It is possible for the player to have an illusion that the rotating decorative body 3210 is rotating (rotation) without being revolved.

  Further, for example, when the second LED group 3252 and the fourth LED group 3254 are caused to emit light after the first LED group 3251 and the third LED group 3253 are caused to emit light in the respective rotating decoration body LED groups 3250, the outer side from the center It is possible to show the player a light emission effect such as moving and spreading. Alternatively, after the second LED group 3252 and the fourth LED group 3254 are made to emit light, when the first LED group 3251 and the third LED group 3253 are caused to emit light, the player is shown a luminous effect that converges from the outside to the center. be able to.

  Further, when the respective LEDs 3241 of the rotating decoration body LED group 3250 and the middle LED group 3255 are caused to emit light simultaneously, it is possible to show the annular emission decoration to the player. At this time, by making the luminance of the light emission decoration high, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize the shape of the rotary decoration 3210 or the like (to make the shape difficult to see). Thereby, for example, in a state in which the rotary decorative body 3210 is obscured and light is emitted in an annular shape by raising the luminance, the position of the special rotary decorative body 3211 is changed by revolving while rotating the rotary decorative body 3210, After that, the luminance can be lowered or the light can be turned off to make the rotating decorative body 3210 easier to see, thereby making it possible to show the player the effect that the rotating decorative body 3210 is moving before and after.

  As described above, according to the back second rendering unit 3200 of the present embodiment, various movable effects can be performed by the plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3210, and various emissions are generated by the plurality of LEDs 3241 of the back second decorative substrate 3240. It is possible to make a presentation. In addition, by appropriately combining the movable effect and the light emission effect, it is possible to show a variety of effects to the player and to make it difficult for the player to get bored.

In the present embodiment, the first LED 3316 is a full color LED, and the second LED 3317 is a single color LED.

  The back third upper drive motor 3320 uses a motor with a high drive torque. The rotary link member 3322 is rotatably attached to the unit base 3301 at the same height as the rotation axis of the back third upper drive motor 3320 on the left side of the back third upper drive motor 3320. The rotary link member 3322 is provided with a spur gear-like transmission gear portion 3322 a meshing with the drive gear 3321 and a crank pin 3322 b cylindrically protruding forward from the eccentric position. The crank pin 3322 b of the rotation link member 3322 is slidably inserted into a transmission slit 3323 a of a slide link member 3323 described later.

  The slide link member 3323 has the base end side located near the back third upper drive motor 3320 and the tip end side is the center of the unit base 3301 in the left-right direction (a part where the upper vertical ring decorative body 3311 is rotatably supported ) Extends to the left and right, and is slidably attached to the unit base 3301 in the left and right direction. The slide link member 3323 is provided above the rotation center of the rotation link member 3322. The slide link member 3323 extends in the vertical direction on the base end side and has a transmission slit 3323a into which the crank pin 3322b of the rotation link member 3322 is slidably inserted, and projects forward cylindrically at the distal end side. A transmission pin 3323 b slidably inserted into the link slit 3312 d of the decorative body 3312, and a detection piece 3323 c detected by the upper detection sensor 3324 on the base end side.

  The transmission slit 3323a of the slide link member 3323 is positioned to the right of the rotation center of the rotation link member 3322, and the lower end is positioned below the rotation center of the rotation link member 3322 and is directed to the tip side As it is bent. In addition, the slide link member 3323 has a collar portion 3323 d on which one end side (left end side) of the upper spring 3327 is latched. The slide link member 3323 is always urged to the right by the upper spring 3327 hooked to the collar 3323 d.

  In the upper unit 3310, in the normal state, the slide link member 3323 is located at the moving end to the right, and the tips of the first decorative body 3312 and the second decorative body 3313 are most distant from each other, and the upper vertical ring The decorative body 3311 is in the state of the most open standby position. When the upper vertical ring decorative body 3311 is in the standby position, the first decorative body 3312 and the second decorative body 3313 are respectively located near the upper edge in the frame of the frame-shaped unit base 3301. Further, in a normal state, the crankpin 3322 b of the rotary link member 3322 is located at a bent portion of the lower end of the transmission slit 3323 a in the slide link member 3323. Furthermore, in the normal state, the detection piece 3323 c of the slide link member 3323 is detected by the upper detection sensor 3324.

  In this normal state, the tip end sides of the first decorative body 3312 and the second decorative body 3313 of the upper vertical ring decorative body 3311 are far from the vertical line passing through the respective rotation centers, so gravity applied to each of them. A rotational moment acts on each of the distal end sides to approach each other, and the rotational moment causes the slide link member 3323 to be left via the link slit 3312 d of the first decorative body 3312 and the transmission pin 3323 b of the slide link member 3323. The force to move it is acting. The force for moving the slide link member 3323 to the left acts on the crank pin 3322 b via the transmission slit 3323 a of the slide link member 3323 to move to the left.

  In the normal state, since the crankpin 3322b is positioned below the center of revolution (the center of rotation of the rotating link member 3322), the crankpin 3322b is rotated clockwise so that the crankpin 3322b moves downward and to the left. Trying to revolve in the direction, but because the crankpin 3322b is located at the lower end of the transmission slit 3323a, the crankpin 3322b can not revolve further clockwise, and the crankpin 3322b revolves. There is no. That is, in the normal state, even if a force from the upper vertical ring decoration 3311 acts, the upper vertical ring decoration 3311 does not close (move to the appearance position side), and the standby position remains open. It is locked in the state, and the load on the back third upper drive motor 3320 from the upper vertical ring decoration 3311 side is shut off.

  In this normal state, when the rotary link member 3322 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the back third upper drive motor 3320 via the drive gear 3321, the crank pin 3322b of the rotary link member 3322 ascends within the transmission slit 3323a. The slide link member 3323 slides to the left against the biasing force of the upper spring 3327. When the slide link member 3323 moves leftward, the first decorative body 3312 is moved counterclockwise around the shaft hole 3312a so that the tip end side moves downward via the link slit 3312d by the transmission pin 3323b at the tip. The second decorative body 3313 is rotated clockwise around the shaft hole 3313 a by the second gear portion 3313 b rotating in the direction and meshing with the first gear portion 3312 b. That is, the tip of the first decorative body 3312 and the tip of the second decorative body 3313 rotate so as to approach each other (so that the upper vertical ring decorative body 3311 is closed).

  Further, as the slide link member 3323 slides to the left, the detection piece 3323 c also moves to the left together, so the upper detection sensor 3324 is in a non-detection state.

  Then, the crank pin 3322 b of the rotation link member 3322 revolves in the counterclockwise direction, so that the crank pin 3322 b slides upward in the transmission slit 3323 a and then slides downward, and the crank pin 3322 b is normal. If it revolves 180 degrees or more from the state and is located near the lower end (lower than the revolution center) of the transmission slit 3323a, the driving of the back third upper drive motor 3320 is stopped. In this state, the tips of the first decorative body 3312 and the second decorative body 3313 are close to each other so that the upper vertical ring decorative body 3311 is closed. The state of the appearance position is a state in which the first decorative body 3312 and the second decorative body 3313 each rotate 50 degrees from the state of the standby position.

  In the state of this appearance position, a force is exerted to move the slide link member 3323 to the right by the biasing force of the upper spring 3327. Therefore, the crank pin 3322b is transmitted to the crank pin 3322b through the transmission slit 3323a of the slide link member 3323. A force is acting to move it to the right. In the state of this appearance position, since the crankpin 3322b is located below with respect to the revolution center (the rotation center of the rotation link member 3322), the crankpin 3322b rotates counterclockwise so that the crankpin 3322b moves downward and rightward. However, because the crankpin 3322b is located at the lower end of the transmission slit 3323a, the crankpin 3322b can not revolve further in the counterclockwise direction, and the crankpin 3322b revolves around. There is nothing to do. That is, in the state of the appearance position, even if the force from the upper spring 3327 or the like acts, the upper vertical ring decoration 3311 does not open (move to the standby position side), and the state of the appearance position as closed. The load on the back third upper drive motor 3320 is shut off from the upper vertical ring decoration 3311 side.

  In the present embodiment, the first decorative body 3312 and the second decorative body 3313 do not rotate until their respective tips come in contact with each other, and are rotated by 50 degrees from the normal state (standby position). Stop at (appearing position). When the upper vertical ring decorative body 3311 is moved from the standby position to the appearance position side, the upper vertical ring decorative body 3311 (the first decorative body 3312 and the second decorative body 3313) is in the frame of the frame-shaped unit base 3301. It will be in the state of being located. In the case of moving the upper vertical ring decorative body 3311 from the appearance position to the standby position, the back third upper drive motor 3320 is kept until the detection piece 3323 c of the slide link member 3323 is detected by the upper detection sensor 3324. Can be returned to the standby position by driving in the reverse direction.

  As described above, in the upper unit 3310, the upper vertical ring decoration 3311 can be opened and closed between the open standby position state and the closed appearance position state by the back third upper drive motor 3320.

The crank pin 3342 b of the rotary link member 3342 is slidably inserted into a transmission slit 3343 a of a slide link member 3343 described later.

  The slide link member 3343 has a base end located near the back third lower drive motor 3340 and a tip end located in the lateral center of the unit base 3301 (a portion of the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331 supported rotatably ) Extends to the left and right, and is slidably attached to the unit base 3301 in the left and right direction. The slide link member 3343 is provided below the rotation center of the rotation link member 3342. The slide link member 3343 extends vertically on the base end side and has a transmission slit 3343a into which the crank pin 3342b of the rotation link member 3342 is slidably inserted, and projects forward cylindrically at the distal end side. A transmission pin 3343b slidably inserted into the link slit 3332d of the decorative body 3332 and a detection piece 3343c detected by the lower detection sensor 3344 on the base end side.

  The transmission slit 3343a of the slide link member 3343 is located on the left side of the rotation center of the rotation link member 3342, and the upper end thereof is located above the rotation center of the rotation link member 3342 and goes to the tip side. As it is bent. Further, the slide link member 3343 has a collar portion 3343 d to which one end side (left end side) of the lower spring 3347 is latched. The slide link member 3343 is always urged leftward by the lower spring 3347 that is hooked to the collar portion 3343 d.

  In the lower unit 3330, in the normal state, the slide link member 3343 is located at the left moving end, and the tips of the first decorative body 3332 and the second decorative body 3333 are most distant from each other and the lower vertical ring The decorative body 3331 is in the state of the most open standby position. When the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331 is in the standby position, the first decorative body 3332 and the second decorative body 3333 are respectively located near the lower edge of the frame-shaped unit base 3301 in the frame. Further, in a normal state, the crankpin 3342 b of the rotary link member 3342 is located at a bent portion of the upper end of the transmission slit 3343 a in the slide link member 3343. Furthermore, in the normal state, the detection piece 3343c of the slide link member 3343 is detected by the lower detection sensor 3344.

  In this normal state, the tip end sides of the first decorative body 3332 and the second decorative body 3333 of the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331 are away from the vertical line passing through the respective rotation centers, so gravity applied to each of them. A rotational moment acts on each of the distal end sides to approach each other, and the rotational moment causes the slide link member 3343 to be right via the link slit 3332d of the first decorative body 3332 and the transmission pin 3343b of the slide link member 3343. The force to move it is acting. The force to move the slide link member 3343 to the right acts on the crank pin 3342 b via the transmission slit 3343 a of the slide link member 3343 to move to the right.

  In the normal state, since the crankpin 3342b is positioned above the center of revolution (the center of rotation of the rotating link member 3342), the crankpin 3342b rotates clockwise so that the crankpin 3342b moves upward and to the right. Trying to revolve in the direction, but because the crankpin 3342b is located at the upper end of the transmission slit 3343a, the crankpin 3342b can not revolve further clockwise, and the crankpin 3342b revolves. There is no. That is, in the normal state, the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331 is not further opened even when a force from the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331 acts, and is locked in the standby position, and the lower vertical The load on the back third lower drive motor 3340 is cut off from the ring decorative body 3331 side.

  In this normal state, when the rotary link member 3342 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the back third lower drive motor 3340 via the drive gear 3341, the crank pin 3342b of the rotary link member 3342 descends in the transmission slit 3343a. The slide link member 3343 slides to the right against the biasing force of the lower spring 3347. When the slide link member 3343 moves to the right, the first decorative body 3332 is moved counterclockwise around the shaft hole 3332a so that the tip side moves upward by the transmission pin 3343b at the tip via the link slit 3332d. The second decorative body 3333 rotates clockwise around the shaft hole 3333 a by the second gear portion 3333 b rotating in the direction and meshing with the first gear portion 3332 b. That is, the tip of the first decorative body 3332 and the tip of the second decorative body 3333 rotate so that they approach each other (as the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331 closes).

  Further, as the slide link member 3343 slides to the right, the detection piece 3343 c also moves to the right together, so the lower detection sensor 3344 is in a non-detection state.

  Then, the crankpin 3342b of the rotation link member 3342 revolves in the counterclockwise direction, and after the crankpin 3342b slides downward in the transmission slit 3343a, the crankpin 3342b slides upward, and the crankpin 3342b becomes normal. If it revolves 180 degrees or more from the state and is located near the upper end of the transmission slit 3343a (above the revolution center), the driving of the back third lower drive motor 3340 is stopped. In this state, the tips of the first decorative body 3332 and the second decorative body 3333 are close to each other so that the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331 is closed. The state of the appearance position is a state in which the first decorative body 3332 and the second decorative body 3333 are each rotated 50 degrees from the state of the standby position.

  In the state of this appearance position, a force is exerted to move the slide link member 3343 to the left by the biasing force of the lower spring 3347, so the crank pin 3342 b is transmitted through the transmission slit 3343 a of the slide link member 3343. The force to move to the left is acting. In the state of this appearance position, since the crankpin 3342b is positioned above the revolution center (the rotation center of the rotating link member 3342), the crankpin 3342b rotates counterclockwise so that the crankpin 3342b moves upward and leftward. However, since the crankpin 3342b is positioned at the upper end of the transmission slit 3343a, the crankpin 3342b can not revolve further in the counterclockwise direction, and the crankpin 3342b revolves. There is nothing to do. That is, in the state of the appearance position, the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331 does not open (move to the standby position side) even when a force from the lower spring 3347 or the like acts, and the state of the appearance position as closed. , And the load on the back third lower drive motor 3340 from the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331 side is shut off.

  In the present embodiment, the first decorative body 3332 and the second decorative body 3333 do not rotate until their respective tips come in contact with each other, and each rotate 50 degrees from the normal state (standby position).

  The back third left drive motor 3360 uses a motor with high drive torque. The rotary link member 3362 is rotatably attached to the unit base 3301 at a position on a vertical line passing through the rotation axis of the back third left drive motor 3360 below the back third left drive motor 3360. The rotation link member 3362 includes a spur gear transmission gear portion 3362a which meshes with the drive gear 3361, and a crank pin 3362b cylindrically projecting forward from an eccentric position. The crankpin 3362 b of the rotary link member 3362 is slidably inserted into a transmission slit 3363 a of a slide link member 3363 described later.

  The slide link member 3363 has a base end located near the back third left drive motor 3360 and a tip end located at the vertical center of the unit base 3301 (a portion of the left horizontal ring decoration 3351 supported rotatably It extends vertically to the vicinity, and is slidably attached to the unit base 3301 in the vertical direction. The slide link member 3363 is provided on the left side of the rotation center of the rotation link member 3362. The slide link member 3363 extends to the left and right on the proximal end side and has a transmission slit 3363a into which the crank pin 3362b of the rotation link member 3362 is slidably inserted, and a cylindrical shape projecting forward on the distal end side A transmission pin 3363 b slidably inserted into the link slit 3352 d of the decorative body 3352 and a detection piece 3363 c detected by the left detection sensor 3364 on the proximal end side.

  The transmission slit 3363a of the slide link member 3363 is positioned below the rotation center of the rotation link member 3362, and the right end is positioned to the right of the rotation center of the rotation link member 3362 and is directed to the tip side As it is bent.

  In the left unit 3350, in the normal state, the slide link member 3363 is located at the upward moving end, and the tips of the first decorative body 3352 and the second decorative body 3353 are most distant from each other and the left lateral ring The decorative body 3351 is in the state of the most open standby position. When the left horizontal ring decorative body 3351 is in the standby position, the first decorative body 3352 and the second decorative body 3353 are respectively located near the left edge in the frame of the frame-shaped unit base 3301.

That is, the tip of the first decorative body 3352 and the tip of the second decorative body 3353 rotate so that they approach each other (as the left horizontal ring decorative body 3351 is closed).

  Further, when the slide link member 3363 slides downward, the detection piece 3363 c also moves downward together, so the left detection sensor 3364 is in a non-detection state.

  Then, the crankpin 3362b of the rotating link member 3362 revolves in the counterclockwise direction, so that the crankpin 3362b slides in the transmission slit 3363a leftward and then slides rightward, and the crankpin 3362b If it revolves 180 degrees or more from the normal state and is located near the right end of the transmission slit 3363a (rightward from the center of revolution), the driving of the back third left drive motor 3360 is stopped. In this state, the tips of the first decorative body 3352 and the second decorative body 3353 approach each other so that the left horizontal ring decorative body 3351 is closed. The state of the appearance position is a state in which the first decorative body 3352 and the second decorative body 3353 are each rotated 50 degrees from the state of the standby position.

  In the state of this appearance position, the first decorative body 3352 and the second decorative body 3353 of the left horizontal ring decorative body 3351 extend from the respective pivot centers to the right, so the first decorative body 3352 The first and second gear 3352 b of the first decorative body 3352 and the second decorative body 3353 have rotational moments acting to rotate in the clockwise direction respectively acting on the second decorative body 3353. Since the second gear portion 3353b is in mesh with the second gear portion 3353b, the rotational moment applied thereto is offset and maintained in the state of the appearance position. Thus, from the left lateral ring decorative body 3351 side, the force for sliding the slide link member 3323 in the vertical direction hardly acts via the link slit 3352 d and the transmission pin 3363 b, and the left lateral ring decoration There is almost no load from the body 3351 side to the back third left drive motor 3360.

  In the present embodiment, the first decorative body 3352 and the second decorative body 3353 are not rotated until their respective tips come in contact with each other, and are rotated by 50 degrees from the normal state (standby position).

  According to the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result, the game board 5 is drawn by accepting the game ball B in the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, The rendering unit 3100, the back second rendering unit 3200, and the back third rendering unit 3300 perform predetermined movable rendering.

  First, effects using the back second effect unit 3200 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 52, FIG. 53, and the like. As an effect using the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210 of the back second effect unit 3200, for example, as shown in FIG. 52, when the drive ring 3221 is rotated in the clockwise direction by driving the back second drive motor 3222 A movable effect can be performed in which the plurality of (12) rotating decorative bodies 3210 rotate in the clockwise direction while revolving in the clockwise direction. Thus, the plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3210 rotate around the effect image viewed through the inside of the back second inner peripheral decorative body 3230 while rotating, so the plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3210 rotate around the game area 5a can be made lively and player can be entertained.

  As described above, for example, when the LED 3171 of the back first lower decoration substrate 3170 in the back first rendering unit 3100 is made to emit light in a state in which the plurality of rotary decorations 3210 are revolved while rotating, Since the substantially circular back first lower part decoration 3164 in which 3210 is orbiting emits light, the player's interest can be directed to the first first lower part decoration 3164. In addition, since the back first lower decoration 3164 stands out, a desired rotation decoration 3210 (special rotation decoration 3211) is in the ring (specific position) of the back first lower decoration 3164 to the player. Depending on whether or not to stop the revolution, the player can be harassing and pounding, and the player can be entertained.

  At this time, only the first rotary ornament LED group 3250a corresponding to the specific position in the rotary ornament LED group 3250 may be lit. As a result, only the rotary ornament 3210 that passes through the rear side of the back first lower ornament 3164 in the annular ring can be visually recognized well, and the other rotary ornaments 3210 are less likely to be visible. It is possible to show the player an effect such as a roulette or a slot, with the inside of the ring of the window as a window, and to further increase the excitement of whether or not the desired rotary ornament 3210 stops at a specific position. Can.

  Then, when the desired rotary decorative body 3210 (special rotary decorative body 3211) is stopped in the ring (specific position) of the back first lower decorative body 3164, as shown in FIG. The first start port 2002 is provided, which makes it possible for the player to have a very high probability of winning a "big hit" if the first start port 2002 receives the game ball B. While being able to urge the player to perform the operation of hitting the game ball B aiming at the first starting opening 2002, the operation of hitting the game ball B can be enjoyed.

  In addition, when revolving the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210 while rotating them by driving the back second drive motor 3222, the plurality of LEDs 3241 of the back second decorative substrate 3240 are appropriately adjusted according to the movement position of each rotating ornament 3210. You may make it light-emit. For example, when one rotating decorative body 3210 is located at a specific position, the first LED group 3251, the second LED group 3252, the third LED group 3253, and the fourth LED group 3254 of each rotating decorative body LED group 3250 While turning on, each intermediate LED group 3255 is turned off. Subsequently, when the rotary decoration 3210 revolves approximately 7 degrees clockwise, the third LED group 3253 and the fourth LED group 3254 of the rotary decoration LED group 3250 remain lit, and the first LED group 3251 and the fourth LED group 3250 turn on. The second LED group 3252 is turned off and the middle LED group 3255 is turned on. Furthermore, when the rotary decoration 3210 is reciprocated 15 degrees from the initial position, the third LED group 3253 and the fourth LED group 3254 are also turned off to turn off the rotary decoration LED group 3250 and turn on only the middle LED group 3255. Leave it as it is.

  Subsequently, when the rotary decoration 3210 is reciprocated about 22 degrees from the initial position, the first LED group 3251 and the second LED group 3252 of the rotary decoration LED group 3250 are turned on to make the third LED group 3253 and the fourth LED group While keeping 3254 turned off, the middle LED group 3255 is kept turned on. Then, when the rotary decoration 3210 revolves 30 degrees from the first position (the next rotary decoration 3210 is positioned at a specific position), the third LED group 3253 and the fourth LED group 3254 are turned on to turn the rotary decoration LED The group 3250 is turned on and the middle LED group 3255 is turned off. Thus, the LED 3241 on which the rotary decoration 3210 is positioned on the front is turned on, and the LED 3241 on which the rotary decoration 3210 is not positioned on the front is turned off. It is possible to show the player the effect that the rotating decorative body 3210 emits light while emitting light as if the LED is provided to the player, and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest .

  Also, in the back second rendering unit 3200, in a normal state, after making all the rotating decoration body LED groups 3250 and the middle LED groups 3255 emit light with high brightness, a plurality of rotation decorations are performed by the back second drive motor 3222 The body 3210 is rotated and revolved, and the rotation and revolution of the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210 are stopped in a state different from a normal state so that the rotating ornament body LED group 3250 and the intermediate LED group 3255 are turned off or dimmed. It is good. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to visually recognize the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 by causing all the rotary ornament body LED groups 3250 and the intermediate LED groups 3255 to emit light with high brightness, so the rotary ornaments in that state. By changing the position of 3210, it is possible to show the player the effect that the rotating decorative body 3210 moves without the player's knowledge, and the player can be surprised and entertained.

  Moreover, in the back second rendering unit 3200, since the plurality of LEDs 3241 mounted on the back second decoration substrate 3240 can be made to emit light as appropriate, the rotating decoration LED group 3250 is compared with the first rotation decoration LED group 3250 a. , Second rotating decoration LED group 3250b, third rotating decoration LED group 3250c, fourth rotating decoration LED group 3250d, fifth rotating decoration LED group 3250e, sixth rotating decoration LED group 3250f, seventh rotation decoration Body LED Group 3250g, Eighth Rotating Decoration LED Group 3250h, Ninth Rotating Decoration LED Group 3250i, Tenth Rotating Decoration LED Group 3250j, Eleventh Rotating Decoration LED Group 3250k, Twelveth Rotating Decoration LED Group By emitting light (lighting) in order as in 3250 l, it is possible to give the player a light-emitting effect such that light is rotating in a predetermined direction. So it can be, it is possible to entertain the player. When stopping the rotation of the light, the player's expectation can be enhanced depending on at which position the light rotation stops, and the player can be entertained.

  In addition, when stopping the rotation of light, the rotational speed of light is gradually decreased, and in the rotating decoration body LED group 3250, the first LED group 3251, the second LED group 3252, the third LED group 3253, and the fourth The LED group 3254 and further the intermediate LED group 3255 may be lighted in order, and the light may be moved little by little in the rotational direction and slowly stopped.

  In addition, a detection piece 3221c for detecting a normal rotation decoration 3212 and a special rotation decoration 3211 located at a specific position, and a special detection piece for detecting a special rotation decoration 3211 located at a specific position Since 3221d is provided in the drive ring 3221, the detection piece 3221c and the special detection piece 3221d do not rotate as compared with the case where the rotary decoration 3210 is provided with the detection piece and the special detection piece. The configuration of the detection piece 3221c and the special detection piece 3221d can be simplified, and the pachinko machine 1 having the above-described effects can be easily embodied.

  In addition, since a plurality of rotating ornaments 3210 can be revolved while being rotated by one back second drive motor 3222, the rotation and revolution of the rotary ornaments 3210 are driven by different drive motors. In comparison, the configuration of the drive mechanism applied to the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 can be simplified, the drive mechanism can be made smaller, and control of the movable attraction of the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 is controlled. The load can be reduced. Further, as described above, since the drive mechanism applied to the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 can be made smaller, the space for arranging the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 can be relatively widened. The rotary ornaments 3210 can be made larger to make them stand out from the player side, and the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 can strongly attract the player's attention.

  Furthermore, since the shaft portion 3210a is projected rearward of the LED 3241, the rotary gear 3225 provided at the rear end is rearward of the LED 3241, and the fixed gear portion 3220b and the drive ring 3221 are also rearward of the LED 3241. The rotary gear 3225, the fixed gear portion 3220b, the drive ring 3221 and the like do not block the light emitted forward from the LED 3241, and the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 can be reliably illuminated and decorated.

  Further, the back second drive motor 3222 for rotating the drive ring 3221 is provided on the outside of the drive ring 3221, and the inside (the inside of the through hole 3229a) of the fixed gear portion 3220b can be widely taken. The display screen of the effect display device 1600 can be more easily viewed, and the effect of the effect image can be more easily exhibited.

  In addition, since the drive ring 3221 is provided outside the fixed gear portion 3220 b and the back second drive motor 3222 is provided outside the drive ring 3221, the back of the second drive motor 322 is substantially the same position as the drive ring 3221 in the front-rear direction. Since the second drive motor 3222 can be provided, an increase in the thickness of the drive mechanism applied to the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 can be suppressed. Further, the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 may be flat, and the thickness in the front-rear direction applied to the plurality of rotary ornaments 3210 can be reduced. From these facts, since the thickness in the front-rear direction can be reduced, the diameter of the rotary ornament 3210 can be made larger by relatively enlarging the space for arranging the plural rotary ornaments 3210. While being able to make it stand out from the player side, a plurality of rotating ornaments 3210 can be strongly attracted to the interest of the player, and other members can be provided in front of or behind the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210 By performing the effect using the other members provided, it is possible to show more various effects to the player, and it is possible to make the player less likely to get bored and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball B hit at the upper part in the game area 5a along the periphery from the left side is a gate as a bonus giving unit provided in the game area 5a A predetermined benefit (for example, a regular lottery in which the player is advantageous when it passes through the unit 2003 or is accepted by the general winning opening 2001, the second starting opening 2004, and the large winning opening 2005 of the attacker unit 2400 as a bonus award unit. Since a lottery of a result or a special lottery result, payout of a predetermined number of game balls B, etc.) is given, the player is made to perform a hit operation of the game ball B aiming at a benefit giving unit such as the gate unit 2003. I can play a game.

  In the game area 5a, an upstream space 2511 is provided above the upper right peripheral wall 2510 on the right in the left-right direction above the frame-shaped center character 2500, and on the downstream side of the upstream space 2511 Since the game ball group B is circulated through different routes according to the strength of the shot and the passage group 2520 provided on the upstream side of the gate unit 2003 is provided, the first circulation constituting the passage group 2520 The probability that the game ball B passes through the downstream gate unit 2003 differs for each of the passage 2521 and the second distribution passage 2522. Therefore, the game ball B is at the entrance of the second distribution passage 2522 with a high hitting probability that the game ball B enters the upstream space portion 2511 and the probability that the game ball B passes the gate portion 2003. It is necessary to adjust the hitting strength of the game ball B so that the game ball B is hit into the game area 5a by the hitting strength at which the ball enters, A change can be imparted, making it difficult for the player to get bored, and at the same time, the player can enjoy the operation of hitting the game ball B aiming at the entrance of the desired second distribution passage 2522 It is possible to suppress a drop in interest for the player's game.

  Further, the stopper 1006 protrudes inward from the peripheral edge of the game area 5a near the right end of the upstream space 2511, and the entrance of the first flow passage 2521 is provided in the vicinity of the stopper 1006. Therefore, the game ball B is hit with a strength that abuts against the stopper 1006 (for example, a specific or greater hitting strength at which the game ball B circulates (rolls) along the periphery of the game area 5a). The gaming ball B in contact with the stopper 1006 enters the entrance of the first circulation passage 2521 in the vicinity of the stopper 1006 in the distribution passage group 2520 with high probability. Therefore, when aiming at the first circulation passage 2521, the game ball B is hit with the strength to abut against the abutment portion 1006, and when aiming at the other second circulation passage 2522, the strength not to abut the abutment portion 1006. As long as the game ball B is hit, the hit operation of the game ball B can be sharpened, and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest.

  And, the game ball B which has flowed through the first distribution passage 2521 provided with an entrance in the vicinity of the stop 1006 lowers the probability of passing through the gate part 2003 on the downstream side, and it is also an opportunity to be given benefits. Since the game ball 5 is discharged out of the game area 5a, the player adjusts the hitting strength of the game ball B so that the game ball B does not enter the entrance of the first distribution passage 2521. Change can be imparted to the hitting operation of the game ball B, making it difficult for the player to get bored, and aiming the player at the entrance of the remaining second distribution passage 2522 The hit operation of the ball B can be enjoyed, and a drop in interest for the player's game can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the distribution passage group 2520 is provided in the direction in which the gaming ball B is hit, the distribution passage group 2520 which circulates through different routes according to the hitting strength of the gaming ball B (first distribution passage 2521 and second The circulation passage 2522) can be embodied with certainty, and can be the pachinko machine 1 having the above-described effects.

  Further, since the upstream space portion 2511 is provided on the upstream side of the distribution passage group 2520, the player can enter the gaming ball B into the entrance of the first distribution passage 2521 or the second distribution passage 2522 desired. It is necessary to drive the game ball B into the game area 5a with the hitting strength to enter the space 2511 and with the hitting strength to enter the desired first circulation passage 2521 or the second circulation passage 2522 Therefore, it is possible to further increase the degree of difficulty of the operation for hitting the game ball B, and to allow the player to enjoy the operation for hitting the game ball B to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, since the first distribution passage 2521 and the second distribution passage 2522 are adjacent to each other, their entrances are adjacent to each other. Since the entrance of the distribution passage into which the player enters easily becomes different, it is possible to increase the degree of difficulty of the player's operation to hit the game ball B, and the player enjoys the operation to hit the game ball B and the interest is reduced. It can be suppressed.

  Further, since the first distribution passage 2521 and the second distribution passage 2522 are adjacent to each other, the first distribution passage 2521 and the second distribution passage 2522 are integrated to a certain extent, so that the inside of the game area 5a or the center It is possible to make the inside of the frame of the character 2500 relatively wide, and to make the player enjoy the game in the game area 5a and the effect in the frame of the center character 2500 to suppress the decrease in interest it can.

  In the above embodiment, the distribution passage group 2520 includes the two distribution passages of the first distribution passage 2521 and the second distribution passage 2522. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be made up of two circulation passages.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the gaming ball B which has entered the attacking right passage 2422 of the attaching unit 2400 is guided onto the second starting opening guiding shelf 2423 with high probability by the contact with the step 1005a of the right rail 1005. Although what is shown, it does not limit to this, and game ball B which entered into the attacking right passage 2422 may be made to be guided to the attacking lower right passage 2426 with high probability.

  In the above embodiment, in the back second rendering unit 3200 of the back unit 3000, the plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3210 revolve in the same direction as the direction of rotation, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to revolve in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, regardless of whether the upper vertical ring decorative body 3311, the lower vertical ring decorative body 3331, the left horizontal ring decorative body 3351, and the right horizontal ring decorative body 3371 do not move to the appearance position, In the present embodiment, the decoration image 3390 is displayed when the effect is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and in the state in which no defect occurs in them, the effect image without the decoration image 3390 is displayed The decoration image 3390 may be displayed only when a failure occurs in them.

[6. Control configuration]
Next, a control configuration for performing various controls of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 61 is a block diagram schematically showing a control configuration of a pachinko machine. The main control configuration of the pachinko machine 1 is composed of a main control board 1310 and a peripheral control board 1510 attached to the game board 5 and a payout control board 633 attached to the main frame 4, as shown in FIG. Each control is shared. The main control board 1310 controls the game operation (progress of the game). The peripheral control board 1510 controls the various effects in the game based on the command from the main control board 1310, and the door frame effect display device 152 based on the command from the peripheral control unit 1511, the door frame sub A display unit 185 and an effect display control unit 1512 that controls display of an effect image on the effect display device 1600. The payout control board 633 includes a payout control unit 633a for controlling the payout and the like of the gaming ball B, and a firing control unit 633b for controlling the firing of the gaming ball B by the rotation operation of the handle 111.

[6-1. Main control board]
The main control board 1310 for controlling the progress of the game is a microprocessor that incorporates a ROM for storing various processing programs and various commands, a RAM for temporarily storing data, etc., although detailed illustration is omitted. An MPU, a main control I / O port as an input / output device (I / O device), a main control input circuit to which detection signals from various detection switches are input, and a main control solenoid drive for driving various solenoids To the circuit, a RAM clear switch 1310 f for completely erasing the information stored in the RAM built in the main control MPU, a setting indicator 1310 g for displaying set values and displaying an error, and the game board 5 Base monitor 1 for displaying the number of game balls collected by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a to be sectioned Is provided with a 10h, the. In addition to the built-in ROM and RAM, the main control MPU has a built-in watchdog timer for monitoring the operation (system) and a function for preventing fraud.

  In addition to the built-in RAM (hereinafter referred to as "main control built-in RAM") and the built-in ROM (hereinafter referred to as "main control built-in ROM") in the main control MPU, In addition, a watchdog timer (hereinafter referred to as “main control built-in WDT”) for monitoring the operation (system) and a function for preventing fraud are incorporated.

  In addition, the main control MPU incorporates a non-volatile RAM. In this non-volatile RAM, a unique ID code to which a unique code (a code that exists only one in the world) for identifying an individual is attached by a maker who manufactured the main control MPU is stored in advance. Since this once assigned ID code is stored in the non-volatile RAM, it can not be rewritten even using an external device. The main control MPU can extract an ID code from a non-volatile RAM and can refer to it.

  The main control MPU also incorporates a circuit that is forcibly reset by hardware when it is affected by electrical noise (hereinafter referred to as "internal reset circuit"). The built-in reset circuit monitors the contents of a predetermined register of the main control MPU, and forces the main control MPU to be affected by electrical noise if the register changes to inconsistent contents. It is a circuit to reset. Such forced reset by the built-in reset circuit can not be disabled by control by the user program. Therefore, when the main reset MPU is subjected to a forced reset by the built-in reset circuit, the main control MPU is reset without executing the main control side power-off process described later, and executes the main control side power-on process described later again. 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 main control internal RAM always occurs as described later, so the contents of the main control internal RAM are completely erased ( It will be cleared). Even if the main control MPU is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit, the built-in reset circuit of the main control MPU does not output a reset signal to the payout control board 633, so the main control board 1310 (main control Only the MPU) is restarted, and the payout control board 633 is maintained in the activated state.

  In addition, the main control MPU is a hardware random number circuit (hereinafter referred to as “the main control built-in hardware that updates the jackpot determination random number for use in determining whether to generate the jackpot gaming state among various random numbers related to gaming. It is described as “random number circuit”. The main control built-in hard random number circuit generates a random number within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, a numerical range of a value of 0 to a value of 535 as a minimum and a value of 65535 as a minimum is preset) The circuit is configured such that a predetermined value as the value is not fixed (that is, the initial value is not fixed) and a different value is set each time the main control MPU is reset. Specifically, when the main control MPU is reset, the main control built-in hard random number circuit first inputs a clock signal (main signal) to the main control MPU, with one value in a predetermined numerical range as an initial value. Based on a clock signal output from a crystal oscillator (not shown) provided separately from the control MPU, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted at high speed one after another without overlapping, and are within a predetermined numerical range. Once all the values in are extracted, one value in the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and another value in the high speed predetermined numerical range is input based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU. Extract values one after another without overlapping. The main control built-in hard random number circuit repeatedly performs such high-speed lottery, and the main control MPU takes the value extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit at the time of obtaining the value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit It is supposed to be set as.

  The main control input circuit is not provided with a reset terminal for forcibly resetting information in which detection signals from various sensors are input to its various input terminals, and has no reset function. Therefore, the main control input circuit is configured as a circuit to which a system reset signal from a main control system reset (not shown) is not input. That is, the main control input circuit outputs various signals based on the information from the various output terminals when the information based on the detection signals from the various sensors input to the various input terminals is not reset by the main control system reset. Is configured as a circuit to be

The logic of the release permission signal that indicates that this release is allowed is set to the release permission logic when releasing the release, while the release suspension logic (release non-release permission logic) which reverses the release enable logic when not releasing the release. Set to Note that the logic of the firing permission signal is set by hardware including a main control output circuit with a reset function to be set to firing stop logic (fire non-permitting logic) obtained by inverting the firing permission logic as an initial value (default). Although configured, after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on (after power recovery), it is set to the firing permission logic.

  In the present embodiment, a non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch is used for the first starting opening sensor 2101, the second starting opening sensor 2402, the gate sensor 2506, and the special winning opening sensor 2403. In contrast, contact-type ON / OFF mechanical switches are used as the general winning opening sensor 2401 and the general winning opening sensor 3001. 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 2101 and the second starting opening sensor 2402 The detection of the game ball B by the gate sensor 2506 also frequently occurs. Therefore, for the first starting opening sensor 2101, the second starting opening sensor 2402, and the gate sensor 2506, proximity switches with high durability and long life are used.

  In addition, when an advantageous gaming state ("big hit" game, etc.) that is advantageous to the player occurs, the big winning opening 2005 is opened and the gaming ball B enters frequently, so the gaming ball by the big winning opening sensor 2403 Detection of B also occurs frequently. Therefore, a proximity switch with a high durability and a long life is used for the special winning opening sensor 2403 as well. In addition, 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 on the game board 5, the detection of the game ball B by the out port sensor 3032 is also performed. It occurs frequently. Therefore, a proximity switch with high durability and long life is used also for the out-port sensor 3032. On the other hand, detection by the general winning opening sensor 2401 and the general winning opening sensor 3001 does not frequently occur in the general winning opening 2001 where the gaming ball B does not enter frequently. For this reason, mechanical switches whose lifetime is shorter than that of the proximity switch are used as the general winning opening sensor 2401 and the general winning opening sensor 3001. In addition, regardless of the fact that the game ball B does not frequently enter the general winning opening 2001, a proximity switch having high durability and a long life may be used.

6-3 b. Effect display control section]
The effect display control unit 1512 performs drawing control of the door frame effect display device 152 and the effect display device 1600. The effect display control unit 1512 is not shown in detail but a display control MPU as a microprocessor, a display control ROM for storing various processing programs, various commands and various data, a door frame effect display device 152, an effect display A VDP (abbreviation for Video Display Processor) for display control of the device 1600, an image ROM for storing various data of a screen displayed on the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600, and the image ROM And an image RAM to which various data are transferred and copied.

  The display control MPU incorporates a parallel I / O port, a serial I / O port, etc., and controls the VDP based on control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511 to display a door frame effect display device 152. The drawing control of the effect display device 1600 is performed. When the display control MPU is operating normally, the display control MPU outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control unit 1511. Further, the display control MPU receives an in-execution signal from the VDP, and performs interrupt processing when the output of the in-execution signal is stopped every 16 ms.

  The display control ROM includes schedule data corresponding to control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511 as well as various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the door frame effect display device 152 and the effect display device 1600. A plurality of nonresident area transfer schedule data and the like corresponding to control data (display command) are stored. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data defining the configuration of the screen in time series, and the order of the screen drawn on the door-frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600 is defined. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is configured by arranging non-resident area transfer data defining the order of various data stored in the image ROM in time series when transferring the various data to the non-resident area of the image RAM. In the nonresident area transfer data, the screen data drawn on the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600 according to the progress of the schedule data is transferred in advance from the image ROM to the nonresident area of the image RAM. It is prescribed.

  The display control MPU extracts the screen data at the top of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511 from the display control ROM and outputs it to the VDP, and then the screen data following the screen data at the top It is extracted from the display control ROM and output to VDP. As described above, the display control MPU extracts the screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data from the top screen data one by one from the display control ROM and outputs the extracted data to the VDP.

  When the screen data output from the display control MPU is input, the VDP extracts sprite data from the image RAM based on the input screen data and displays it on the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600. The drawing data is generated, and the generated drawing data is output to the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600. Further, when the door frame effect display device 152 and the effect display device 1600 do not receive the screen data from the display control MPU, the VDP outputs an in-execution signal to that effect to the display control MPU. A line buffer method is adopted as VDP. With this "line buffer method", drawing data for one line for drawing the left and right direction of the door frame effect display device 152 and the effect display device 1600 is held in a line buffer, and drawing for one line held in the line buffer This is a method of outputting data to the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600.

  An extremely large amount of sprite data is stored in the image ROM, and the capacity thereof is large. As the capacity of the image ROM increases, that is, when the number of sprites drawn on the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600 increases, the access speed of the image ROM can not be ignored, and the door frame effect display device 152 or effect display It will affect the speed at which the device 1600 draws. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sprite data stored in the image ROM is transferred and copied to the image RAM having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the image RAM. Sprite data is basic data which is data before expanding a sprite into a bitmap format, and is stored in the image ROM in a compressed state.

  Here, to describe “sprite”, “sprite” is an image displayed as a unit integrated on the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600. For example, when displaying various persons (characters) on the door-frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600, data for drawing each person is called "sprite". Thereby, when displaying a plurality of persons on the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600, a plurality of sprites will be used. Besides the person, a house, a mountain, a road, etc. constituting the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be one sprite. In these sprites, the position to be arranged on the screen and the vertical relationship (hereinafter referred to as “order of superposition of sprites”) when sprites overlap with each other are set, and the door frame effect display device 152 or effect display device It is drawn at 1600.

  The sprite is formed by bonding a plurality of rectangular areas each having 64 pixels in the vertical and horizontal directions. Data for drawing this rectangular area is called a "sprite character". In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one sprite character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, a total of six sprite characters arranged, for example, 2 × 3 Can be expressed. In the case of a larger sprite such as the background, it can be expressed using a larger number of sprite characters. Thus, the number and arrangement of sprite characters can be arbitrarily designated for each sprite.

  The door frame effect display device 152 and the effect display device 1600 sequentially cross the one direction along the main scan for setting the display state for each pixel in one direction along the pixels from the left to the right as viewed from the front It drives by the subscanning which repeatedly performs the main scanning in the direction which When the drawing data for one line output from the effect display control unit 1512 is input to the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600, the front of the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600 as main scanning Output to the pixels for one line sequentially from left to right. When the output for one line is completed, the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600 shifts to the line immediately below as a sub-scan, and similarly, when drawing data for the next line is input, the next line Based on the drawing data of the minute, the main scanning is sequentially output from left to right as pixels in one line as viewed from the front of the door frame effect display device 152 or the effect display device 1600 as main scanning.

[7. Game content]
The game contents by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 27 to 29 and the like. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball B stored in the upper tray 130 of the door frame 3 by the player rotating the handle 111 of the handle unit 180 disposed at the front lower right corner of the door frame 3. Is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 in the game board 5, and the game by the game ball B is started. The game ball B driven into the upper part in the game area 5a flows either the left side or the right side of the center character 2500 depending on the hit strength. In addition, the hitting strength of the game ball B can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle 111, and can be hit more strongly as it is rotated in the clockwise direction, and a maximum of 100 game balls can be continuously played in one minute. B, that is, the game ball B can be hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

  Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails N are implanted in the front of the game panel 1100 (panel board 1110) with a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game ball B contacts the obstacle nail N Thus, the flow-down speed of the gaming ball B is suppressed, and various motions are imparted to the gaming ball B so that the motion can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail N, a windmill rotating by the contact of the game ball B is provided at a position between the first shelf 2201 of the side unit 2200 and the warp entrance 2501. .

  When the game ball B inserted into the upper part of the center character 2500 enters the left side (left side relative to the upper right peripheral wall 2510) in the front view than the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the center character 2500, While abutting on the plurality of obstacle nails N, the region on the left side of the center character 2500 will flow down. Then, when the gaming ball B flowing down the area on the left side of the center character 2500 enters the warp inlet 2501 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the center character 2500, it is supplied to the stage 2503 from the warp outlet 2502.

  The game balls B supplied to the stage 2503 roll on the stage 2503 and move back and forth, and are discharged forward from the center portion in the left-right direction. When the game ball B is released into the game area 5a from the central central release portion 2503a at the center of the stage 2503, since the central discharge portion 2503a is positioned immediately above the first start opening 2002, the first probability is high with a high probability. Acceptable at the starting port 2002. When the game ball B is received in the first start opening 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls B are paid out to the upper tray 130 from the payout device 580 through the main control substrate 1310 and the payout control substrate 633. Be done.

  The game balls B released from the stage 2503 of the center role 2500 into the game area 5a may be accepted by the first starting opening 2002 or the general winning opening 2001 of the starting opening unit 2100.

  By the way, when the gaming ball B which has flowed down to the left side of the center character 2500 does not enter the warp inlet 2501, it is brought closer to the center in the left-right direction by the first shelf 2201 of the side unit 2200 and the obstacle nail N. It may be accepted by the general winning opening 2200 or the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100 or the general winning opening 2001 or 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 130 from the payout device 580 through the main control substrate 1310 and the payout control substrate 633. Be done.

  On the other hand, in the game area 5a, the game ball B struck into the upper part of the center character 2500 is on the right side (upper space above the upper right peripheral wall 2510) than the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the center character 2500. When entering the portion 2511), it is released above the gate portion 2003 of the center character 2500 through either the first flow passage 2521 or the second flow passage 2522 of the flow passage group 2520 of the center character 2500, and the gate After coming into contact with a plurality of obstacle nails N implanted above the part 2003, the gate part 2003 is passed with a certain probability.

  The flow passage group 2520 of the center product 2500 has a first flow passage 2521 whose inlet is open in the vicinity of the stopper 1006, and an opening is spaced leftward from the inlet of the first flow passage 2521. And a second circulation passage 2522. As a result, when the game ball B is driven with a strength to abut against the stopper 1006 (so-called, right-handed), it enters the first circulation passage 2521 and enters the upstream space 2511 and hits the stopper 1006. When the game ball B is hit with a strength that does not touch (a strength that is somewhat weaker than a right strike), the game enters the second distribution passage 2522 with high probability. That is, the game ball B driven into the upstream space 2511 flows either in the first flow passage 2521 or the second flow passage 2522 according to the hitting strength.

  On the other hand, the game ball B which has flowed through the first distribution passage 2521 is guided to the right of the gate portion 2003 with a high probability by a plurality of obstacle nails N implanted above the gate portion 2003. It passes through the right side of the gate unit 2003 without passing through. On the other hand, the game ball B which has flowed through the second distribution passage 2522 is guided to the left more than the right side of the gate 2003 by a plurality of obstacle nails N implanted above the gate 2003 and is higher The gate unit 2003 is passed by probability.

  When the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 and is detected by the gate sensor 2506, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310, and the lottery result is "normal hit" in the attacker unit 2400. The second start port 2004 which is closed is opened 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.

  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 until the normal lottery result is suggested (for example, 0) .01 to 60 seconds, commonly referred to as fluctuating time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 or the sub function display unit 2450 of the game board 5. The second start port 2004 normally opens after the fluctuation time has elapsed.

  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.

  The game ball B which has passed through the right side of the gate unit 2003 has a very high probability that the right side of the general winning opening 2001 of the attacker unit 2400 by a plurality of obstacle nails N embedded between the gate unit 2003 and the attacker unit 2400. Enters the right passage 2422 of the On the other hand, the game ball B which has passed through the gate unit 2003 or the game ball B which has passed through the left side of the gate unit 2003 is made of a plurality of obstacle nails N implanted between the gate unit 2003 and the attacker unit 2400. It is guided to the left with a very high probability that the right adjacency path 2422 is attached, and enters the left adjacency path 2421 with a high probability.

  It should be noted that a general winning opening 2001 of the attacker unit 2400 is disposed to the left of the right attacking passage 2422. When the game ball B is received in the general winning opening 2001 and detected by the general winning opening sensor 2401, A predetermined number (for example, ten) of game balls B are paid out to the upper tray 130 from the payout device 580 via the main control substrate 1310 and the payout control substrate 633.

  The game ball B that has entered the attacking right passage 2422 abuts on the step 1005 a of the right rail 1005, and enters the second starting opening guide shelf 2423 through the communication opening 2425 with high probability, and is closed It distributes on the 2nd starting mouth door 2411. If the game ball B which has entered the right attack passage 2422 does not enter the second starting opening guide shelf 2423, it enters the lower right passage 2426 and is concerned with the second starting opening 2004 and the big winning opening 2005 It is discharged out of the game area 5a from the out port 1008. In addition, the gaming ball B which has entered the attachment left passage 2421 enters on the second starting opening guide shelf 2423 and circulates on the second starting opening door 2411 in the closed state.

  Then, when the game ball B enters the second start opening guide shelf 2423, the normal lottery result selected by the passage of the game ball B at the gate section 2003 is "normal hit", and the second start opening door 2411 is When in the open state, the game ball B is received in the second start port 2004. When the game ball B is received in the second start port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls B are paid out to the upper tray 130 from the payout device 580 through the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Be done.

  The game ball B, which entered the second start opening guide shelf 2423 and was not accepted by the second start opening 2004, was discharged to the big winning opening guide shelf 2424 side and rolled on the closed big winning opening door 2413. Later, it is released into the game area 5a and discharged from the out port 1008 to the outside of the game area 5a. In addition, since a plurality of obstacle nails N are implanted between the second starting opening guide shelf 2423 and the big winning opening guiding shelf 2424 and the intermediate passage 2427 is open, the second starting opening guide is The game balls B discharged from the shelf 2423 to the side of the big winning opening induction shelf 2424 enter the middle passage 2427 with a low probability. The game ball B that has entered the intermediate passage 2427 is discharged from the out port 1008 to the outside of the game area 5 a without being associated with the big winning opening 2005.

  From the above, since the game ball B which has circulated the first distribution passage 2521 does not pass the gate part 2003 much, the second start opening 2004 is opened by the passage of the gate part 2003 of the game ball B The result of the ordinary lottery is not often drawn, and the game ball B is not accepted very much in the second start port 2004. On the other hand, since the game ball B which circulated the 2nd distribution passage 2522 passes gate part 2003 with high probability, the passage of the gate part 2003 of game ball B makes the 2nd starting opening 2004 an open state. There is a high possibility that the “normal hit” will be drawn and the possibility that the game ball B will be accepted in the second start port 2004 is high.

  From such a thing, since the player performs a hitting operation of the gaming ball B aiming at the entrance of the second distribution passage 2522, the hitting strength that the gaming ball B enters the upstream space portion 2511 And, with the hitting strength that the game ball B enters the second distribution passage 2522, the hitting strength of the game ball B must be adjusted so that the game ball B is hit into the game area 5a. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to get bored by giving a change to the hitting operation of the game ball B, and for the player to enjoy the hitting operation of the game ball B to suppress a drop in interest It can be done.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming ball B is received in the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004, an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit") advantageous to the player on the main control board 1310 The lottery of the result of the special lottery to generate ") is performed. Then, the selected special lottery 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). In addition, in the special lottery results drawn by the game ball B being received in the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004, there are "loss", "15R big hit A", "15R big hit B", etc. .

  The special lottery results (first special lottery result and second special lottery result) drawn by the reception of the game ball B to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 generate the advantageous gaming state In this case, after the elapse of the special variation time, the special winning opening 2005 becomes ready to receive the game ball B in a predetermined opening / closing pattern. 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 board 1310 and the payout control board 633 Game balls B are paid out to the upper tray 130. 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.

  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 accepting the game ball B, or a predetermined high winning opening 2005 If any one of the conditions (eg, ten pieces of game balls B) is received, an open / close pattern (one open / close pattern is referred to as one round) that makes the game ball B in an unacceptable closed state is Repeat a predetermined number of times (predetermined number of rounds). For example, if it is "15R big hit", it repeats 15 rounds to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

  In the "big hit", when the game ball accepted in the big winning hole 2005 is distributed to the second receiving slot 2008 by the distribution piece 2415 when the big winning hole 2005 is opened due to the big hitting gaming state, the big hitting game After the state is over, ST (special time) is generated as the advantageous game state. In this ST, the probability of changing the probability that a special lottery result such as "big hit" is drawn during a specific number of predetermined changes is changed or the time for changing the display time of the effect image indicating the special lottery result Maintain the state of

  In the present embodiment, the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004 indicate the reception of the game ball B from the start of the special drawing until the special lottery result drawn is suggested. When the game ball B is accepted in the second start port 2004, the suggestion of the special lottery result can not be started, so the suggestion of the special lottery result is started until the suggestion of the special lottery result drawn earlier is completed. Be put on hold. The number of pending special lottery results 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.

  As described above, when the special winning opening 2005 is opened by the special lottery result drawn by receiving the game ball B into the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004, the second distribution passage When performing a game ball B hit operation aiming at the entrance of 2522, the player must adjust the hit operation slightly, so some players may feel embarrassed or annoyed by the arrival of such a chance. As a result, there is a risk of reducing the interest in the game. However, in the present embodiment, when the game ball B is hit to the right and the first distribution passage 2521 is made to flow, the right side of the gate portion 2003, the attacker right passage 2422, the step 1005a of the right rail 1005, the communication port 2425, and The game ball B can be distributed to the large winning opening induction shelf 2424 (large winning opening 2005 side) through the second starting opening induction shelf 2423, so it is easy even without adjusting the delicate operation. The game ball B can be accepted to the large winning opening 2005 by the hitting operation, and the player can enjoy the game in the advantageous game state, and the hitting operation of the game ball B is sharp according to the game state. It is possible to suppress the decline in the player's interest.

  By the way, the suggestion of the special lottery result drawn by the reception of the game balls B to the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004 is performed by the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600. The function display unit 1400 and the sub function display unit 2450 are directly controlled by the main control board 1310 to suggest special lottery results. 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 1310, it is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board 1510, and the special lottery result is suggested 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, 15R big hit game A, 15R big hit game B, 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 and the sub function display unit 2450 are set to a longer time.

  Further, in peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by effect display device 1600, the pressing operation of effect operation unit 160 in door frame 3 according to the selected special lottery result. It is possible to perform a player participation type effect for operating the unit 161. In the player participation type effect, the pressing operation unit 161 can be raised and highlighted by the first elevation driving motor 180a and the second elevation driving motor 182, and the player participation type effect is enjoyed by the operation of the presentation operation section 160. be able to.

  In addition, in the peripheral control board 1510, each decoration board provided in the door frame 3, each decoration board provided in the game board 5, and the back first effect unit 3100 and the back second effect unit 3200 of the back unit 3000. And, it is possible to perform a luminous effect, a movable effect, etc. by appropriately using the back third effect unit 3300 etc., and it is possible to entertain the player by various effects, and the interest for the player's game decreases Can be suppressed.

  Further, on peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by effect display device 1600, according to the special lottery result drawn, the back first of back unit 3000 in gaming board 5 It is possible to perform a luminous effect, a movable effect, a display effect, etc. by appropriately using the effect unit 3100, the back second effect unit 3200, and the back third effect unit 3300 etc. It can be enjoyed and it can control that a player's interest in a game is reduced.

[8. Various control processing of main control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. 61 according to the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 62 is a flowchart showing an example of the main control side power on process, FIG. 63 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the main control side power on process of FIG. 62, and FIG. 64 is an example of the main control timer interrupt process FIG. 65 is a flow chart showing an example of the setting change process, FIG. 66 is a flow chart showing an example of the setting value confirmation display process, and FIG. 67 is a flow chart showing an example of the error display process. First, various random numbers used for game control will be described, and then the operation of the initial value update type counter, main control side power on processing, main control side timer interrupt processing, setting change processing, error display processing, setting value confirmation The display process will be described.

[8-1. Various random numbers]
A special random number used to determine whether to generate a big hit gaming state or a small hit gaming state as various random numbers used for game control, and an initial value for hit determination used to determine an initial value of this special random number A decision random number, a reach determination random number for use in deciding whether or not to reach when the jackpot gaming state is not generated, and the first special symbol indicator and the second special of the function display unit 1400 A random number for a variable display pattern to be used for determining a variable display pattern of a special symbol variably displayed on the symbol display, and a first special symbol display and a second special of the function display unit 1400 when generating a big hit gaming state Design random numbers for use in determination of big hit symbols and small hit symbols displayed and derived by symbol display (determination of hit types), and for determination of initial values of this symbol random number Big hit symbol for the initial value determination random number or the like for there are prepared. Moreover, in addition to these random numbers, a random number per standard symbol determination for use in determining whether to open or close a movable piece that enables reception of a game ball in the second start port 2004, and this general symbol per symbol determination The initial value determination random for determination per normal symbol for use in determination of the initial value of the random number for the normal symbol and the normal symbol for use in determination of the variation display pattern of the normal symbol variably displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 A random number for variable display pattern is prepared.

  Among various random numbers used for such game control, special random numbers are updated by hardware, while other various random numbers are updated by software.

  For example, the special random number is directly updated by hardware by a main control built-in hard random number circuit built in the main control MPU. When the main control MPU is reset, the main control built-in hard random number circuit makes a first value within a predetermined numerical range as an initial value, and performs high-speed presetting based on a clock signal input to the main control MPU. 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, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted at high speed one after another. The main control built-in hard random number circuit repeatedly performs such high-speed lottery, and the main control MPU sets the value extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit at the time of obtaining the value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit as a special random number. It is supposed to

  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 initial value determination random number for determining the normal symbol to the maximum value, and then counts up from the minimum value toward the initial value determination random number for determining the normal pattern. 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 initial value determination random number for normal symbol per round determination is updated. Such a method of updating the counter is called "initial value update type counter". The initial value determination random number for normal symbol determination can be obtained by executing an initial value lottery process for extracting one value from a fixed numerical range of a counter for updating the random number for normal determination per symbol.

  In the present embodiment, when the RAM clear switch 1310 f of the main control board 1310 is operated at power on or stored in the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU in main control side power on processing described later. The checksum value (sum value) obtained by calculating the sum of various information as a numerical value and the checksum value (sum value) stored in the main control side power-off process (when power is off) When not clearing, except for a specific area among all areas of the main control built-in RAM, such as when it is not the same, the initial value determination random number per normal symbol per judgment is a non-volatile RAM built into the main control MPU. Initial value which always takes out the same fixed value from the fixed numerical range of the counter which takes out the ID code from and updates the random number for judgment per normal pattern based on the taken out ID code Run the output process, a fixed value this derivation has a mechanism to be set. That is, in the case of the initial value determination random number for determination per normal symbol, the same fixed value derived based on the ID code is always overwritten and updated by the execution of the initial value derivation process. As described above, the value set for the initial value determination random number per symbol normal determination is derived using the ID code, and the manufacturer of the main control MPU incorporates the nonvolatile RAM incorporated in the main control MPU by the manufacturer. 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, and the initial value derivation process when clearing except the specific area out of the entire area 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, and this taken out ID code is used as an initial value determination random number per determination. 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 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 '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'. A momentary stop is generated at every predetermined interval obtained, and even if the game ball is allowed to pass through the gate section 2003 at every predetermined interval, the movable piece can be opened and closed so that the gaming ball can be received at the second start port 2004 Can not be generated.

[8-2. Main control side power on process]
First, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the main control MPU 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, as shown in FIG. 62 and FIG. When the main control side power-on process is started, the main control MPU sets the RAM access permission (step S10). By setting the RAM access permission, the main control built-in RAM can be updated.

  Subsequent to step S10, the main control MPU 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 determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated (step S14). In this determination, the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear is performed when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310 f is HI, and determines that the RAM clear switch 1310 f 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.

  In the determination of step S14, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated, 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 determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated, it sets the value 0 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16B). That is, the main control MPU enables execution of the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (that is, the main control built-in RAM) built in the main control MPU for a predetermined time after power-on. The RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG described above is stored in the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU, game information related to the game such as probability fluctuation, unpaid award balls, and other information (for example, main award balls number) This flag is a flag indicating whether to delete various information including the information indicating the value of the information output determination counter), etc. It is set to 1 when deleting various information, and 0 when not deleting 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.

  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 inserts a setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key 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. And the setting key switch 1311 a is set by the setting key cylinder being turned clockwise by 60 degrees from the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311 a) and turned on. The key is turned on, and this is performed based on the signal of the setting key ON from the setting key switch 1311a. 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 of step S18, actually, the person who operates the setting key switch 1311a turns on After the setting key switch 1311a is turned on, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on.

  In the determination of step S18, the main control MPU 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 key switch using the signal of setting key ON. When it is determined that the setting key 1311a is turned on, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S20A). On the other hand, in the determination of step S18, the main control MPU determines that the main body frame 4 is not open with respect to the outer frame 2 based on the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b, and / or a signal of setting key ON. When it is determined that the setting key switch 1311a is not turned on by the setting key, the value 0 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S20B). Setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the current setting value (setting key cylinder of setting key switch 1311a) stored in a predetermined area (main area for setting values in a specific area described later) of the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU. Is a flag indicating whether or not to permit the setting change or confirmation display of the setting value 1 to the setting value 6 at the time of the ON operation of the ON), and the setting change or confirmation of the setting value It is set to a value of 1 when permitting display, and a value of 0 when not permitted to perform setting change of setting values or confirmation display. The value of the setting key ON 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.

  Following step S20A or step S20B, the main control MPU 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, 10 seconds (s) is set as a standby time (boot timer) until boot. The peripheral control board 1510 is in a state capable of receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) when the main control MPU completes the wait time waiting process. In addition, since the delivery control board 633 completes boot in a short time as compared with the peripheral control board 1510 when the main control MPU completes the wait time waiting process, the delivery control board 633 is a main control board 1310 (main control MPU Can receive various commands from).

  Following step S22, the main control MPU determines whether or not a power failure advance 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. When it is determined in step S24 that the main control MPU determines that there is an input of the power failure advance signal, the process 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 determines that there is no input of the power failure advance notification signal, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value 1 or not. It is determined (step S25). When the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, a predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied. judge.

  When it is determined in step S25 that the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is a value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is not a value 1, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value 1 And, it is determined whether the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value 0 (step S26). Although the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value 0, a predetermined setting value change permission condition is not satisfied. It is determined to delete various types of information as in the case where the predetermined setting change permission condition is satisfied.

  In the determination of step S26, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is a value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is not a value 0, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value 0. And, it is determined whether the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value 1 (step S27). When the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key on flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, a predetermined setting value display permission condition is satisfied. judge.

  In the determination of step S27, the main control MPU determines that the preset setting display permission condition is satisfied, assuming that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1. If it is determined that there is, the set value confirmation display process is performed (step S28). In this setting value confirmation display process, the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is displayed on the setting display 1310g, although the detailed description will be described later.

  Subsequent to step S28, or in the determination of step S27, the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is the value 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is not the value 1 (the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG If it is determined that the value is 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is 0, the checksum is calculated (step S29). 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 S29, the main control MPU causes the calculated checksum value (sum value) to be the checksum value (sum value) stored in the main control side power-off process (described at power-off) described later. It is determined whether there is a match (step S30). If the main control MPU determines in step S30 that the values match, it determines whether the backup flag BK-FLG has a value 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 1310, the calculation of the checksum in step S29 and the determination in step S30 when the main control board 1310 is first turned on after manufacturing for inspection. Detailed explanation about, is mentioned below.

  In the determination of step S30, when the main control MPU determines that the values (sum values) of the checksums do not match, or in the determination of step S32, the main control MPU does not have the backup flag BK-FLG as 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, 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 displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

  Note that the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut 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 that turns off the setting key switch 1311a). Turn the pachinko machine 1 on while turning the press operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f after turning it 60 ° clockwise and turning it on again, the main control side power supply which is this routine again Processing at the start is started. The main control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated in the determination in step S 14 described above, and sets the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S 16 A described above, and In the determination of step S18, it is determined that the main body frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b, and the setting key switch 1311a is the setting key ON by the signal of the setting key ON. In order to set the setting key ON flag CS-FLG to the value 1 in step S20A described above, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has the value 1 in the determination of step S25 described above. It is determined in advance that the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has the value 1 It is determined that the fixed value change permission condition is satisfied, and in the process of step S38 described later following the setting change process of step S37 described later, the specific area is excluded from all areas of the main control built-in RAM and cleared. Thus, the RAM error can be canceled and the game can be progressed (hereinafter referred to as “first RAM error cancellation method”).

  As a method different from the first RAM error cancellation method, the pachinko machine 1 is powered off and the setting key cylinder remains at the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a). By turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f, the main control side power on process, which is the main routine, is started again. The main control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated in the determination of step S 14 described above, and sets the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S 16 A described above, In step S18 described above, it is determined that the main body frame 4 is not opened with respect to the outer frame 2 based on the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b, and / or the setting key switch 1311a is set by the signal of setting key ON. It is determined that the key is not ON, and the value 0 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG in step S20B described above. Therefore, in the determination in step S26 described above, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1, Also, assuming that setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value 0, that is, In the process of step S38 described later, it is determined that the various information is to be erased as in the case where the preset setting change permission condition is established although the preset setting change permission condition is not established. It is possible to cancel the RAM error and advance the game by clearing except the specific area in the whole area of the RAM (hereinafter, referred to as "second RAM error cancellation method").

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when the main control MPU 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 determines whether 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 is the value 1, that is, when it is determined that the main control side power-off process has ended normally, the main control built-in A work area of the RAM is set (step S34). In this setting, power recovery information is read from a ROM built in the main control MPU (that is, the main control built-in ROM), and this power recovery information is set in the 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 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 The high frequency from the hidden high frequency output device is irradiated to the main control substrate 1310 to reset the main control MPU itself, and also includes a state where it is restored thereafter.

  Following step S34, the main control MPU 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, when it is determined in step S25 that the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has the value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has the value 1, that is, changes the preset setting value If it is determined that the permission condition is satisfied, setting change processing is performed (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 1311 is pressed based on the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311 b of the setting changing substrate 1311 Every time the setting value is changed and displayed on the setting display 1310g, the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a is changed based on the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a because the setting key cylinder is turned off from the ON operation. The set value is determined and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM built in the main control MPU.

  In the process of step S37 or the determination of step S26, the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value 0, that is, it is determined in advance. When it is determined that the various information is to be erased as in the case where the set value change permission condition is established in advance although the set value change permission condition is not satisfied, the specific region is excluded from the entire region of the main control internal RAM. And clear (step S38). Here, the main control MPU writes the value 0 into 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 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 and the various information is to be erased, the main control MPU causes the main control 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 is taken out, and the random number per pattern is determined 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 the decision random number.

  Following step S38, the main control MPU 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 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.

  Subsequent to step S36 or step S40, the main control MPU performs initial value setting and activation setting of the main control built-in WDT (step S41). Here, a watchdog timer control register (hereinafter referred to as “ The timer setting value is set in the WDT control register to start the main control built-in WDT and start the timing until the main control MPU is reset. When the main control built-in WDT starts up, clocking by the main control built-in WDT is started, and the watchdog timer clear register (built in the main control MPU) is reached until this 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 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 operates normally by repeatedly performing the process of clearing the clocking by the main control built-in WDT until the time set by the timer setting value is reached and starting the clocking again. Can be monitored.

  Subsequent to step S41, the main control MPU 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 performs serial communication initial setting (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 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.

  Subsequent to step S44, the main control MPU 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 performs activation setting of the main control built-in hard random number circuit (step S48). Here, among various random numbers relating to the game, the special random number to be used for determining whether or not to generate the big hit gaming state is random number in the hard random number control register built in the main control MPU to update by hardware. In addition to performing settings such as latching and acquisition, 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 started 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. When all the values in the specified numerical range have been extracted, one value in the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and the predetermined numerical range is determined at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU. Extract one after another without duplicating other values inside. When the main control MPU 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 the main control internal hardware when this 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. The main control MPU sets this acquired random number value as a special random number.

  Following step S48, the main control MPU 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 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 determines whether or not a power failure advance signal is input (step S54). When shutting off 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 to the main control MPU as a power failure notification as described above. Ru. 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 determines that there is no input of the power failure advance signal, the main control MPU 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 per normal symbol judgment, the initial value determination random number per normal symbol judgment, the random number for a normal symbol variation display pattern, and the like described above are also updated by the non-coincidence random number update process.

  After step S56, the main control MPU returns to step S54 again, determines whether or not there is an input of a power failure advance notification signal, and if there is no input of this power failure notification signal, non-falling random number update processing 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 it is determined in step S54 that the main control MPU has determined that there is an input of the power failure advance signal, the main control MPU 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 starts to output a power failure clear signal (step S60). Here, the same process as the process of starting the output of the power failure clear signal in the power failure clear process of step S12 is performed.

  Following step S60, the main control MPU, for example, stops the drive signals being output to the various displays of the function display unit 1400, the start port solenoid 2404, the adder solenoid 2405, the base monitor 1310 h, etc. (step S62).

  Subsequent to step S62, the main control MPU 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 sets the backup flag BK-FLG to the value 1 (step S66). This completes the storage of game backup information.

  Subsequent to step S66, the main control MPU sets the 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 into the main control MPU with respect to the main control built-in WDT started 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 is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. After that, the main control MPU 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, the main control MPU is subject to forced reset by the built-in reset circuit when it is affected by electrical noise. In this case, the main control MPU 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 is subjected to a forced reset by the built-in reset circuit, the main control MPU is reset without executing the main control side power-off process, and again executes the main control-side power on process. . 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 S29 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) is reset when a power failure or an instantaneous power failure occurs, and the main control side power-on process is performed when 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.

  Further, in the determination of step S25, it is determined that the predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied, assuming that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is the value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the value 1. When it is determined, the setting change process of step S37 is performed, and the specific area is completely erased (cleared) in the entire area of the main control built-in RAM except the specific area in the process of step S38. -When FLG is a value 1 and setting key ON flag CS-FLG is a value 0, that is, a predetermined setting value change permission condition is not satisfied, but a predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied Similarly, when it is determined that the various information is to be erased, in the processing of step S38, identification is made among all the areas of the main control internal RAM. With the exception of the band to completely erase (clear). 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 set value is The main control MPU always clears the predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM even when the setting change which can be determined is not performed (when the main control MPU performs the setting change processing). 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 and operating the pressing operation part of the above. Further, when the setting value is determined to be changed, when the setting changing process is performed, it is obtained by the setting value before the setting changing process is performed even if the current setting value is consequently maintained. It is necessary to erase (clear) game backup information including various information such as game information from the main control built-in RAM. As described above, since the setting key is an important key that can be used to confirm the current setting value, etc., in addition to changing the setting value, a limited person, including the game hall manager, Only possession is permitted and limited to 2-3 people. In the present embodiment, even if the setting value is not determined to be changed, 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 erases (clears) the game backup information. By turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f when it is necessary to play back, it is possible to erase (clear) the game backup information from the main control internal RAM. ing.

  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, the problem in the case where there is no determination of the presence or absence of the power failure advance notification signal in step S24, that is, the problem in the case where the process after step S26 is performed after the wait time standby process of step S22 will be described.

  As described above, the power supply terminal of the main control MPU receives a charge in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 when a power failure or an instantaneous interruption occurs and the power from the island facility of the game hall is cut off. It is designed to be applied as direct current +5 V for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after occurrence of a power failure or a momentary power failure. 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 a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs immediately before the standby time is reached, hardware called electrolytic capacitor MC2 at the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 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 when the timer interrupt processing is performed and the contents of the main control built-in RAM are updated, Kicking it may not be able to complete processing upon the main control side power-off. 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, 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 S29. 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 Since it is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the control MPU, 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 performed 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. Thus, when the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is restarted, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 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 Pachinko machine when the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 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 standby process) 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, causes the game to proceed according to the progress of this game, and other information (for example, main prize ball number A step of backup processing for storing various information including information indicating the value of the information output determination counter) Since the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 can complete the processing at the time of main control side power supply interruption configured with the processing of 58 to step S68 and the infinite loop, the main control MPU of the main control MPU When rebooting, it is determined that the checksum calculation result in step S28 matches the checksum calculation result in the backup process (that is, the value calculated and stored in 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. That is, the main control board 1310 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 the power failure notice signal is input, the main control MPU is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT, thereby causing 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, as DC +5 V over 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 processing returns to the determination in step S24 again. As long as 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.

  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 1310 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 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, if a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, the peripheral control substrate 1510 receives various commands from the main control substrate 1310 upon power recovery and returns, 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 1310 at the time of power recovery. However, when the main control board 1310 generates a big hit gaming state as the 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 1310 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 the peripheral control board 1510 transmits and transmits to the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral control board 1510 produces the effect that the number of balls of the game ball 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 ends, for example, the fourth round 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 / closing member. From the main control board 1310 to the peripheral winning control board 1510 from the main control board 1310 a large winning opening 1 closing display command which instructs to shift to the closed state (that is, to start closing the round between the big winning port 2005 of the attacker unit 2100). When the main control board 1310 starts 5 rounds of the big hit gaming state (5th round), the driving of the attachment solenoid 2405 is started and the big winning opening 2005 is opened from the state closed by the opening / closing member. To shift to the state where the game is being played (that is, the fifth round of To send a special winning opening open the fifth display command instructing the open start) from the main control board 1310 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 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 1310 sets 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, 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 closing the movable piece So that the transition to the state for closing the second start-up port 2004 by work.

  However, if a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, the peripheral control substrate 1510 receives various commands from the main control substrate 1310 upon power recovery and returns, 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 1310 at the time of power recovery. However, when the main control board 1310 is in the gaming state and the gaming ball is in the gaming state in which the game ball can be received to the second start port 2004 and the gaming state advantageous to the player is generated, a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. When 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 1310 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 power outage occurs There was a problem that.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 is powered on (including power recovery when power is restored due to power failure or momentary power failure, in addition to power on), the power on state 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, based on the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command received from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control board 1510, for example, in the above-described example, in the fourth round of the big hit gaming state, When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310 starts to drive the attacker 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 big hit gaming state and the Screen to start driving of 05 and tell that the big winning opening 2005 is in the state of being opened 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 returns, the drive of the start port solenoid 2404 is started as the return destination of the main control board 1310 to open the movable piece. (Eg, "The movable piece is open. Please play the game so that the game ball is inserted into the second starting opening.") The peripheral control board 1510 displays in the display area of the effect display device 1600 a screen to transmit a message to the player, and the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine receives the game ball in the second starting opening 2004 after power recovery. It is possible to instruct the game of making a ball.

  As a result, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs and the power is restored thereafter, it is possible to finely instruct the return destination of the peripheral control board 1510 on the main control board 1310 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 the manufacturing line of the main control board 1310, when the main control board 1310 is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, the checksum of step S29. The calculation and the determination of step S30 will be described. In the main control board inspection step, when the main control board 1310 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 of the main control board 1310 has never executed the control-side power-off process, even if the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM is calculated in step S29, the process proceeds to step S30. 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 1310 is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, the power on state command from the main control board 1310 is taken 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 a pachinko machine 1 (precisely, the main control board 1310), 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 board 1310, the main control board 1310 with respect to the copyright of a plurality of types of works may be mixed. 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). The main control board for one of the copyrights of a plurality of types of works (for example, the copyright of a work of movie D) among the copyrights of a plurality of types of works can not be determined whether the main control board 1310 flows to the manufacturing line Although the main control board 1310 flows to the manufacturing line to manufacture 1310, the main control board 1310 is used to manufacture the main control board 1310 for another copyright (for example, the copyright for 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 1310 in the manufacturing line of the maker that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control board 1310 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 1310 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).

  As a result, when manufacturing the main control substrate 1310 in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control substrate 1310 for the copyrights of multiple types of works coexist, the main control substrate for the copyrights of multiple types of works It will be sent to the game board assembly line for attaching the main control board 1310 to the game board 5 while 1310 is mixed. Therefore, a worker of the game board assembly line may attach the main control board 1310 not corresponding to the game board 5 to the copyright of the work to the game board 5 in some cases. 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 1310 is turned on (in addition to the case where the power is turned on, it also includes the power recovery due to a power failure or a momentary power outage). 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 in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the manufacturing line, and the inspection device becomes the main control board 1310. 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 fluctuation is in the state that the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol is limited The main control board 1310 is for the copyright of any work by visually observing the detailed model information displayed on the inspection monitor based on the game specification code for specifying the game specification (ST machine etc.) It is possible to determine which model type (max type, middle type, and sweet digital type, which type) the copyright of the same work, and what game specifications It is also possible to determine whether it is a game specification or ST machine in which, when probability change occurs, the state is continued until the next big hit gaming state occurs.

  As a result, when manufacturing the main control board 1310 in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, even if the main control board 1310 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 1310 for the copyright of the work by being able to accurately determine the model type of the main control board 1310, 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 1310 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 the work of attaching 1310 to the game board 5. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of the production efficiency of the game board 5.

[8-3. 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 switches the register bank as shown in FIG. 64 (step S100). The general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU has two register banks composed of a first register bank and a second register bank. The first register bank is used in the main control main process in the above-described main control side power-on process, 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 performs a timer subtraction process (step S102). In this timer subtraction process, for example, the time during which the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display 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. The main control board 1310 (main control MPU) transmitted in addition to the time when the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 lights up according to the normal symbol and the normal symbol variation display pattern determined in the normal electric symbol control process described later When it is determined whether or not a payer ACK signal notifying that the payout control board 633 has properly received various commands is input, time management such as an ACK signal input determination time set as the determination condition is performed . 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.

  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.

  Subsequent to step S102, the main control MPU 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 are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Specifically, the main control MPU, for example, detects the detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 2401, the detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 3001, the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 2101, and the second starting opening sensor 2402 Detection signal from the special winning opening sensor 2403, detection signal from the out opening sensor 3032, detection signal from the magnetic sensor 2470, detection signal from the vibration sensor 3005, operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310 f (RAM clear Signal), a detection signal from the door frame opening switch 4a, a detection signal from the main frame opening switch 4b, a signal from the setting key switch 1311a, a signal from the setting switching button 1311b, a prize ball transmitted in the prize ball control process described later A command from the payout control board 633 which indicates that the payout control board 633 has successfully received a command Read main ACK signal, respectively, stored in the input information storage area of the main control chip RAM as input information. Also, when the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 2101 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 first starting opening sensor 2101, the corresponding starting opening winning command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and from the second starting opening sensor 2402 When there is a detection signal of (1), the corresponding starting opening winning command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM.

  In this embodiment, when the switch input process is started, the state (including the case where the vacant terminal process is performed) being input to all the input terminals of various input ports of the main control MPU is started. 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) being input to all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU are covered for the first to third times. 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 general winning opening sensor 2401, the detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 3001, the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 2101, the detection signal from the second starting opening sensor 2402, A detection signal from the special winning opening sensor 2403, a detection signal from the out opening sensor 3032, a detection signal from the magnetic sensor 3005, an inspection from the vibration sensor 3005 Signal, operation signal from RAM clear switch 1310 f (RAM clear signal), detection signal from door frame open switch 4 a, detection signal from body frame open switch 4 b, signal from setting key switch 1311 a, from setting switching button 1311 b It is possible to improve the reliability of the payout ACK signal from the payout control substrate 633 that indicates that the payout control substrate 633 has normally received a signal and a winning ball command transmitted in the prize ball control processing described later.

  Following step S104, the main control MPU 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, the status of the terminal subjected to the 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 is grounded to ground (GND) as an idle terminal process, 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 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 that indicates that a fault is occurring in the peripheral circuit of the main control MPU. 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 performs a rapid random number update process (step S106). In the present random number updating process, the above-described symbol random numbers are updated. Moreover, in addition to these random numbers, random numbers for jackpot symbol initial value determination updated in the non-falling 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 symbol random number is a random number involved in the hit determination (hit determination), each counter counts up only when the hit random number updating process is performed. In addition, the random number per normal symbol determination described above and the initial value determination random number per normal symbol determination are also updated by this success random number update process.

  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 initial value determination random number for determination per symbol normally to the maximum value, and then it is counted up from the minimum value toward the initial value determination random number for determination per symbol normally. 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 initial value determination random number for collision determination is updated by this success random number update process. The initial value determination random number for normal symbol determination can be obtained by executing an initial value lottery process for extracting one value from a fixed numerical range of a counter for updating the random number for normal determination per symbol.

  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. 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, it may be a mechanism to update the random number for initial value determination for small hit symbols only in the non-falling random number update process of step S56

  Following step S106, the main control MPU performs ball number counting processing (step S107). In this ball number counting process, input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and based on the input information, a detection signal from the out-port sensor 3032 is input, and a game area 5a is defined in the game board 5 When the out port sensor 3032 detects the game balls collected by the provided out port 1008, the value 1 is added to the value of the collected ball counter that counts the number of balls of the game balls collected by the out port 1008 Perform an operation (increment). The main control MPU 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. In addition, the main control MPU, when the value of the collection ball counter is divisible by the value 10, that is, every time the number of gaming balls collected at the out port 1008 reaches 10 balls, creates a ball collection command to that effect And stores it as transmission information in the output information storage area. In addition, when the main control MPU reaches the maximum value (in the present embodiment, the value 65535) of the value of the collection ball counter which is the calculation result and further adds (increments) the value of the collection ball counter by the value 1, the collection ball The value of the counter overflows to a value of 0, and an operation of adding from this value of 0 is performed.

  Subsequent to step S107, the main control MPU performs a winning ball control process (step S108). In this prize ball control process, input information is read out 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 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 and the dispensing control board 633 is used. 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 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. Also, the main control MPU reshapes the command received normally as the payee serial data into a 2-byte (16-bit) command (various commands classified into status display (frame status 1 command, error cancel navigation command, 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 performs a fraudulent activity detection process (step S112). In this fraudulent action detection process, although the second start opening door 2411 is not in the open state, there is a ball entry to the game ball B in the second start opening 2004, or the big winning opening door 2413 is not in the open state. It is confirmed that there is an abnormal state regarding the winning balls, such as the game ball B entering the big winning opening 2005, or there is an entering ball. Further, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the abnormal state regarding the winning balls has occurred in the injustice detecting process, the hall computer installed on the game hall side through the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 By outputting the security signal, the main control MPU can contribute to the fact that the clerk of the game hall clerk or the like can find an abnormal state regarding the winning ball at an early stage. Note that the security signal output when it is determined that an abnormal state related to the prize ball has occurred is the security signal output when it is determined that the magnet go-off described later is performed, or the vibration described later. This is the same signal as the security signal output when it is determined that goto is being performed. Also, the security signal is output to the hall computer installed on the game hall side through the payout control board 633 and the external terminal board 558 connected to the payout control board 633 as the main control MPU. However, after the main control MPU transmits a command instructing output of a security signal to the payout control board 633, the payout control MPU causes the game hall side via the external terminal board 558 connected to the payout control board 633. A security signal may be output to a hall computer installed in the computer.

  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 2470 is input, the 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 the magnet got is performed in the injustice detecting process, and is included in the game backup information, and is cleared to the initial value when the RAM is cleared. The value 0 (zero) is to be set as. 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 magnet magnetism has been performed is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above. Further, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the magnet is performed in the injustice detecting process, the hall computer provided on the game hall side through the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 is mainly used. By outputting a security signal by the control MPU, it is possible to contribute to the fact that a clerk such as a salesclerk of a game hall can find a magnet got at an early stage.

  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 vibration sensor 3005 is input, the fraudulent activity due to vibration (hereinafter referred to as "vibrational vibration") ) Is performed, and the value of the vibration got counter is incremented by one. The value of the vibration got counter is incremented each time it is determined that vibration got is performed in the injustice detecting process, and is included in the game backup information, and is cleared to the initial value when the RAM is cleared. The value 0 (zero) is to be set as. When the value of the vibration 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). And) create a vibration got notification command divided into a notification display notifying that vibration got is being performed, and store it as the transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above. Further, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that vibration got is being performed in the injustice detecting process, the hall computer provided on the game hall side through the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 is mainly used. The output of the security signal by the control MPU can contribute to the fact that a clerk such as a salesclerk of the game hall can find the vibration got at an early stage.

  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 the magnet goto and / or the vibration goto are detected, the fraud behavior detection flag FD-FLG is set to the value 1 as the detection of the fraud, while the magnet goto and the vibration goto are detected. If not detected, the cheating detection flag FD-FLG is set to the value 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.

  Subsequent to step S112, the main control MPU performs an emission 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 determines that the cheating detection flag FD-FLG has a value of 0, that is, the cheating is not detected, based on the above-mentioned cheating detection flag FD-FLG. 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 in the output information storage area as the output information. Note that the logic of the firing permission signal is set by hardware including a main control output circuit with a reset function to be set to firing stop logic (fire non-permitting logic) obtained by inverting the firing permission logic as an initial value (default). Although configured, after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on (after power recovery), it is set to the firing permission logic.

  Subsequent to step S113, the main control MPU 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 is acquired from a hard random number latch register built in the control MPU, and the acquired random number value is set as a special random number. Then, it is determined whether or not the special random number (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU) and the big hit judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM match It is judged whether or not the game state is to be generated (referred to as "special lottery"), or the value of the counter for updating the symbol random number is taken out and stored in the main control built-in ROM according to the big hit type and the small hit type. It is judged (determined the hit type) which of the hit type judgment values matches.

  When these determination results (lottery results) are from the first starting opening sensor 2101, 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 First special symbol display or second special symbol of function display unit 1400 to light the first special symbol display or second special symbol display of function display unit 1400 according to the determined variable display pattern of the special symbol The output of the lighting signal to the display is set, and stored as the output information in the above-described output information storage area. 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 2414 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 (round) is two, 2 of the round display of the function display unit 1400 Of the lighting signal to the 2 round indicator lamp to light the round indicator lamp A lighting signal to the 15-round display lamp to light up the 15-round display lamp of the round display of the function display unit 1400 when the power is set and stored in the output information storage area as output information or when the round is 15 times The output of the lighting signal to the status display of the function display unit 1400 is set so that the output of the function display unit can be stored in the output information storage area as the output information, or the presence or absence of time reduction is lit in a predetermined color. Or stored in the output information storage area.

  Subsequent to step S114, the main control MPU performs normal symbol and ordinary electric accessory control processing (step S116). In this ordinary symbol and ordinary electric combination product control process, input information is read out from the above-described input information storage area, and an ordinary winning opening winning process is performed based on the input information. In the normal winning opening winning process, it is determined from the input information whether or not a detection signal from the gate sensor 2506 has been 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 etc. of the counter for updating the above-mentioned random number per normal symbol judgment is extracted and main control built-in as ordinary winning opening winning information It is stored in the normal winning opening winning combination information storage area of the RAM.

  In the normal winning a prize opening winning information storage area, the 0th section to the 3rd section (4 sections) are provided, and the 0th section, the 1st section, the 2nd section, and the 3rd section in the order of the normal winning opening Winning information is stored. For example, when the normal winning a prize opening winning information is stored in the 0th section to the 2nd section of the normal winning a prize opening winning information storage, when the detection signal from the gate sensor 2506 is input to the input terminal of the input port The winning information is stored in the third section of the normal winning opening winning information storage.

  The normal winning a prize opening winning information stored in the zero section of the normal winning a prize opening winning information storage is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. When this ordinary winning a prize opening winning information is set, the ordinary winning a prize opening winning information of the first section of the ordinary winning a prize winning information storage is in the 0 th section of the ordinary winning a prize winning information storage, a second of the ordinary winning a prize winning information storage. The normal winning opening winning information of the section is in the first section of the normal winning opening winning information storage, the normal winning opening winning information of the third section of the normal winning opening winning information storage is in the second of the normal winning opening winning information storage. It is shifted and the 3rd division of usual winning a prize mouth winning a prize information storage becomes empty space. For example, when the normal winning opening winning information is stored in the first section to the second section of the normal winning opening winning information storage, the normal winning opening winning information in the first section of the normal winning opening winning information storage is the normal winning In the 0th section of the mouth winning information storage, the normal winning opening winning information of the 2nd section of the normal winning opening winning information storage is shifted to the 1st section of the normal winning opening winning information storage, and the 0th of the normal winning opening winning information storage The second section and the third section of the normal winning a prize opening winning information storage become an empty area. Here, when the ordinary winning opening winning information is stored in the first to third divisions of the ordinary winning opening winning information storage, the ordinary number of the ordinary winning opening winning information stored is taken as the holding ball and the ordinary of the function display unit 1400 The output of the lighting signal of the normal hold indicator of the function display unit 1400 is set based on the above-described normal winning opening winning information so as to turn on the hold indicator, and is stored as the output information in the output information storage area.

  Following the normal winning opening winning processing, the normal winning opening winning information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM is read out, and the value of the random number for determining the normal symbol winning is taken out from the read normal winning opening winning information and the main control It is determined whether or not it matches the normal symbol hit determination value stored in advance in the built-in ROM (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 The output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set to light the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined variable display pattern of the normal symbol while storing in the area, and the output information Are stored in the output information storage area described above.

  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. The output of the drive signal to the start port solenoid 2412 is set so as to open and close the movable piece as information and stored in the transmission information storage area, and is stored in the output information storage area described above 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 ordinary symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set to illuminate the ordinary symbol display of the function display unit 1400 according to the decided ordinary symbol fluctuation display pattern, and the output information storage area mentioned above as output information Remember to In this example, the probability of winning in the normal lottery (probability of hitting normally) is one half.

  Following step S116, the main control MPU 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, and various signals are output based on the output information. The main control MPU, for example, outputs a main payout ACK signal as the payout control substrate 633 when the various commands from the payout control substrate 633 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU based on the output information. Output a drive signal to an attacker solenoid 2414 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 2412 that opens and closes a movable piece In addition to 15 round big hit information output signal, 2 round big hit information output signal, small hit information output signal, special symbol display information output signal, normal symbol display information output signal, time short information output signal, starting opening winning information Output various information (game information) related to the game such as output signal to the payout control board 633, or release permission logic The base monitor outputs a release permission signal set in the release stopping logic (release non-permission logic) to the payout control board 633, or displays the counting result (total number) of the number of gaming balls collected by the out port 1008. A display signal is output to 1310 h, and 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 1310 g is output.

  Subsequent to step S118, the main control MPU 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 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 telling that effect, and a setting value telling that the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area (to be described later in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM) is to be confirmed Sure display 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 electric 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, in the event of a power failure or an instantaneous interruption. The main transmission serial transmission port incorporated in the main control MPU 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 power is turned on in step S50 in the main control power-on process shown in FIG. 63. 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 turn, 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.

  When the ball collection command is sent to peripheral control board 1510 to notify that effect each time the number of gaming balls collected at out port 1008 reaches 10 balls, the peripheral control MPU in peripheral control board 1510 receives the ball. The ball collection information (counted value (i.e. collected by the out port 1008) stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown) is counted by counting the number of gaming balls collected by the out port 1008 for each recovery command. (The total number of balls of the game ball) and the updated date and time are 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 peripheral control MPU in the peripheral control board 1510 has started the business of collecting sphere information stored in the built-in RAM of the real time clock IC (not shown). The ball collection information is created again from the day, 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 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. This clears the timing by the main control built-in WDT. Then, the main control MPU is not forced to be reset by the main control built-in WDT by starting the timing by the main control built-in WDT again.

  Note that, as described above, when the main control board 1310 is in the process of proceeding with the game, the above-described 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 for which the backup process has been executed as a return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 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 2412 or the adder solenoid 2414 which is an electric drive source by the port output process of step S118 in this routine. It can be done. That is, the main control board 1310 has the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the same processing shown in FIG. 62 in 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. 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, a power on state command is configured as main cycle serial data. It transmits to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of task, mode, and sum value, and then transmits it to the peripheral control board 1510 in 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, based on the power-on main control return destination command from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control board 1510 displays the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery as the display area of the effect display device 1600. 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 1310 can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and notified, 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.

  Also, in the main control board inspection process, which is an inspection process of a manufacturing line of the main control board 1310, when the power of the main control board 1310 is first turned on after manufacturing 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. 63, the power on state command classified as power on when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at the time of 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, Transmit power status command as serial data, send to the inspection device of main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value, and then configure power control main control return destination command, status , The mode, and the sum value are sent to the main control board inspection process inspection order in that order, and then configure the counter notification command for the main prize ball number information output judgment at power on, the order of status, mode, and sum value To the inspection device of the main control board inspection process. The inspection device of the main control board inspection process constructs information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine included in the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 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 identifying It has become.

[8-4. 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, the main control MPU acquires the current installation value as shown in FIG. 65 (step S200). Here, the main control MPU 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.

  Subsequent to step S200, the main control MPU 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. 62. Is the same process as the calculation of.

  Subsequent to step S202, the main control MPU 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. It is determined whether or not it matches the value of the checksum (sum value) (step S204). If it is determined in step S204 that the main control MPU matches, the main control MPU determines whether the backup flag BK-FLG has the 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.

  In the determination of step S204, when the main control MPU determines that the values (sum values) of the checksums do not match, or in the determination of step S206, the main control MPU does not have the backup flag BK-FLG as 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 determines that 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 the 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 determining in step S208 that the main control MPU determines that the range is not within the normal range, the main control MPU 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 the value is determined, the main control MPU determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match in the determination of step S204 without performing the determination of step S208. Or when the backup flag BK-FLG is not 1 (the value is 0) in the determination of step S206, that is, it is determined 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 may be set to the setting value acquired in step S200. .

  In the determination of step S206, the main control MPU determines that the backup flag BK-FLG has the value 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 If the MPU determines that it is within the normal range, or following step S210, the main control MPU 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 outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value on the setting display 1310g to the setting display 1310g and displays the setting value on the setting display 1310g (step S214). .

  Subsequent to step S214, the main control MPU 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 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.

  If it is determined in step S216 that the main control MPU determines that the setting switching button 1311b is operated, the main control MPU performs an operation of adding (incrementing) 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.

  Subsequent to step S218, the main control MPU 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 on the setting indicator 1310g. Is displayed (step S220).

  Subsequent to step S220, or when it is determined in step S216 that the main control MPU determines that the setting switching button 1311b is not operated, the main control MPU determines whether or not the setting key OFF operation is performed. (Step S222). In this determination, the main control MPU inserts the setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and turns the setting key switch 1311a to the setting key ON from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder to the initial position (that is, the setting key The setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF by being turned 60 degrees counterclockwise and turned OFF so that the switch 1311a is turned back to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder), and the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a It is determined that the setting key is turned OFF when the OFF signal is input from the setting key switch 1311a, while the setting key is turned OFF when the OFF signal is not input from the setting key switch 1311a. It determines that it has not been operated.

  If it is determined in step S222 that the main control MPU determines that the setting key has not been turned off, the process returns to the determination in step S216 to determine whether the setting switching button 1311b is operated. When it is determined in step S216 that the main control MPU 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 setting key is turned off. When it is not determined, the process returns to the determination of step S216, and when the setting switching button 1311b is operated until the setting key is turned OFF, the setting value is incremented by one each time it is operated, and updated. It is displayed on the setting display 1310g, and 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 setting key has been turned OFF in the determination of step S222, the setting value updated immediately before the occurrence of the power failure or momentary power failure is the main value even if the power failure or momentary power failure occurs and the power is restored. Since the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the control internal RAM is not stored, the setting value stored in the setting value exclusive area in the specific area of the main control internal RAM is not changed.

  On the other hand, when determining in step S222 that the main control MPU determines that the setting key has been turned OFF, the updated setting value is stored 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.

  Following step S224, the main control MPU stops the output of the lighting signal for displaying the updated setting value to the setting indicator 1310g to the setting indicator 1310g, and updates the setting value for the setting indicator 1310g. Is hidden (step S228).

  Following step S228, the main control MPU stops the lighting signal to the setting change permission lamp 1311c and turns off the setting change permission lamp 1311c (step S230).

  Subsequent to step S230, the main control MPU sets the value 0 to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S232). As described above, the setting key ON 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 key switch 1311a is turned ON It is a flag indicating whether or not to permit the setting change or confirmation display of the setting value 1 to the setting value 6 at the time), and to perform the setting change or the confirmation display of the setting value. Value 1 is set when permission is given, and value 0 is set when permission to perform setting change and confirmation display is not permitted. In the process of step S232, setting the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG to 0 does not permit setting change of the setting value or confirmation display thereafter.

  Following step S232, the main control MPU 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 normalizes 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 not an abnormal value. 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 determines that it is within the normal range, it performs serial communication initialization (step S234), and subsequently creates a setting change command and sets 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. 63, 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. The peripheral serial data is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as peripheral serial data, but this is prioritized before the reservation of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 in the power-on processing on the main control side shown in FIG. 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 the peripheral control MPU in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the setting change command, the peripheral control MPU updates 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).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S233 that the main control MPU determines that it is not within the normal range, an error display process is performed (step S240), 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 displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

[8-5. Set value confirmation display process]
Next, the setting value confirmation display process will be described. The setting value confirmation display process is a process performed in step S28 in the process on power-on of the main control shown in FIG.

  When the set value confirmation display process is started, the main control MPU acquires the current installation value as shown in FIG. 66 (step S350). Here, the main control MPU acquires the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM.

  Following step S350, the main control MPU determines whether the set value acquired in step S350 is within the normal range (step S352). The “normal range” is the same as the determination in step S208 in the setting change process of FIG. 81 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 S 357, the main control MPU re-confirms whether the setting value is not an abnormal value, the setting value acquired in step S 350 (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 it is determined in step S352 that the main control MPU determines that the range is the normal range, the main control MPU outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value acquired in step S350 on the setting indicator 1310g to the setting indicator 1310g. The set value is displayed for 1310 g (step S354).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S352 that the main control MPU determines that it is not within the normal range, an error display process is performed (step S356), 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 displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

  Subsequent to step S354, the main control MPU determines whether or not there is an OFF operation of the setting key (step S358). In this determination, the main control MPU inserts the setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and turns the setting key switch 1311a to the setting key ON from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder to the initial position (that is, the setting key The setting key cylinder is turned counterclockwise 60 degrees so that the switch 1311a is turned back to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder) and the setting key switch 1311a is turned off by turning it off, and the setting key switch It is performed based on the OFF signal from 1311a, and when the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input, it is determined that the setting key is turned OFF, while the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input. If not, the setting key is turned OFF It determined not to have.

  If it is determined in step S358 that the main control MPU determines that the setting key is not turned off, the process returns to the determination of step S358, and repeats the determination in step S358 until the setting key is turned off.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S358 that the main control MPU determines that the setting key has been turned OFF, the setting signal acquired in step S350 is displayed on the setting indicator 1310g to the setting indicator 1310g. The output is stopped, and the acquired setting value is not displayed on the setting display 1310g (step S360).

  Following step S360, the main control MPU sets the value 0 to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S361). As described above, the setting key ON 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 key switch 1311a is turned ON It is a flag indicating whether or not to permit the setting change or confirmation display of the setting value 1 to the setting value 6 at the time), and to perform the setting change or the confirmation display of the setting value. Value 1 is set when permission is given, and value 0 is set when permission to perform setting change and confirmation display is not permitted. In the process of step S232, setting the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG to 0 does not permit setting change of the setting value or confirmation display thereafter.

  Following step S361, the main control MPU performs serial communication initial setting (step S362), and subsequently creates a set value confirmation display command to set transmission information (step S364), and subsequently, in step S364. The peripheral control board transmission command transmission process of transmitting the set transmission information (set value confirmation display command) to the peripheral control board 1510 as main cycle serial data is performed (step S366), and the present routine is ended. The serial communication initial setting in step S362 is the same process as the serial communication initial setting in step S44 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 63, and the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S366 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 of step S362, the transmission information (setting value confirmation display command) set in step S364 in the peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing of step S366 is performed prior to the serial communication initial setting of step S44. Are sent to the peripheral control board 1510 as main cycle serial data, but before the reservation setting of the command to be sent when the power is turned on in step S50 in the processing when the main control side power is turned on shown in FIG. The priority is given to the peripheral control board 1510 by means of a setting value confirmation display command that the setting value has been confirmed. The set value confirmation display command indicates that the set value confirmation display process which is this routine has been completed (that is, the confirmation of the set values stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM has been completed). It is a command to convey).

[8-6. Error display process]
Next, error display processing will be described. This error display process is a process performed in step S33 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 62, and a process performed in step S37 in the main control power on process shown in FIG. Process in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 62) and the process performed in step S28 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 62 (step S356 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. Processing performed in

  When the error display process is started, the main control MPU stops the emission permission signal as shown in FIG. 67 (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. .

  The process performed in step S33 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 62, and the process performed in step S37 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 62. (Specifically, the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 65) or the process performed in step S28 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 62 (specifically, FIG. 66) When the main control MPU starts processing as the process performed in step S356 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 63, the interrupt permission setting in step S52 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. Since the main control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 64 can not be performed, It is not possible to carry out the firing enable signal setting process in step S113 that. The discharge permission signal is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU to the discharge control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 through the main control output circuit with reset function, so that the power is restored with the reset function 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. 62, and the process performed in step S37 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. One process (specifically, the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 65) or the process performed in step S28 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 62 (specifically, When it is started as the process performed in step S356 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 66, the main control MPU performs the error display process which is the present routine after the power recovery in step S400. Even in this case, the logic of the firing permission signal is issued to ensure that the gaming ball B is not fired. It is set to stop logic (firing unauthorized logic) to the fire control unit 633b of the dispensing control board 633 via the reset function main control output circuit from the output terminal of the predetermined output port.

  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).

  Subsequent to step S402, the main control MPU displays an error on the function display unit 1400 (step S404). In step S404, a lighting signal for lighting all 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.

  Subsequent to step S404, the main control MPU 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 in step S406 includes the serial communication initial setting in step S234 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 65, the serial communication initial setting in step S362 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 66, and The same processing as the serial communication initial setting in step S44 in the main control side power-on process shown, and the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S410 is the periphery of step S238 in the setting change process shown in FIG. Peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing in step S366 in control substrate transmission command transmission processing and setting value confirmation display processing shown in FIG. 66, and peripheral control board transmission in step S120 in main control side timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. This is the same process as the command transmission process. 62. The process performed in step S33 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 62, and the process performed in step S37 in the main control side power on process shown in FIG. When the process is started and completed as the process performed in step S 356 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 66 and the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 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 peripheral control MPU in 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) stored in internal RAM of real time clock IC (not shown) is received. Update.

  In addition, when the peripheral control MPU in peripheral control board 1510 receives an error display command, a white background of "RAM error has occurred in the blue background image in the display area of effect display device 1600. Please call a staff member." Along with performing control to display the message image of the text, the volume "Adjusted by turning the volume adjustment switch on the peripheral control board 1510" is announced as "RAM error has occurred. Please call the staff." Control is performed so as to obtain the maximum sound volume and flow from various speakers (vibration speaker 354, top center speaker 462, top side speaker 464, body frame speaker 622, etc.). The process of notifying a RAM error by an error display command is the process with the highest priority, and when the peripheral control MPU in the peripheral control board 1510 receives an error display command after receiving a command notifying another error, a RAM error notification is issued. The highest priority.

[9. Various control processing of payout control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the payout control board 633 shown in FIG. 137 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 68 is a flow chart showing an example of the processing at power-on of the payout control unit, and FIG. 69 is a flow chart showing the continuation of processing at power-on of the payout control unit of FIG. FIG. 71 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the power-on process, and FIG. 71 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.

9-1. 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 of the payout control board 633 by the payout control MPU, as shown in FIGS. . When the payout control unit power-on process is started, the payout control MPU sets an interrupt mode (step S500). This interrupt mode is to set the priority of the interrupt of the payout control MPU. 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 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 are set.

  Following step S502, the payout control MPU performs weight timer process 1 (step S506), and determines whether or not a power failure notice 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 interruption occurs (a phenomenon in which the supply of power is suspended), the voltage decreases and becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 receives a power failure notification signal 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 of the main control board 1310. 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 notice signal from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310.

  Following step S508, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310f of the main control board 1310 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.

  When it is determined in step S512 that the payout control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated, the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is set to the value 1 (step S514). That is, the payout control MPU enables execution of the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (that is, the payout control built-in RAM) built in the payout control MPU for a predetermined time from when the power is turned on.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S512 that the payout control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated, the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is set to the value 0 (step S516). The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is stored in the payout control internal RAM of the payout control MPU, 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.

  Following step S514 or step S516, the payout control MPU 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.

  Following step S518, the payout control MPU 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.

  Subsequent to step S520, the payout control MPU 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 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.

  Following step S524, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the calculated checksum value matches the checksum value stored in the payout control unit power-off process (described at power-off) described later. (Step S526). When it is determined in step S526 that the payout control MPU matches, it is determined whether the payout backup flag HBK-FLG has a value 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.

  In step S528, when the payout control MPU determines 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 processing has been completed normally, the power is restored when the power is restored. 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, power recovery information is read from the ROM built in the payout control MPU (that is, the ROM for payout control) and at 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 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 determines that the values of the checksums do not match, or when the payout control MPU determines that the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is not 1 (is the value 0) in the determination of step S528, 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 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.

  Following step S530 or step S534, the payout control MPU 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 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 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.

  Subsequent to step S539, the payout control MPU determines whether or not a power failure advance 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, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 as a power failure notification when the voltage falls below the power failure notification voltage. Be done. The determination in step S540 is performed based on the power failure advance signal.

  If it is determined in step S540 that the payout control MPU determines that there is no input of the power failure advance signal, the payout control MPU determines whether 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 dispensing control unit timer interrupt processing that is processed every 2 ms, which will be described later. It is set.

  In the determination of step S 542, when the payout control MPU 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 inputs a power failure advance signal. It is judged whether it is done or not.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S 542, the payout control MPU sets the value 2 to the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG when it is determined that the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is the value 1, ie ).

  Subsequent to step S544, the payout control MPU 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 performs a port output process (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 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 1310 (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 has actually paid out the game balls, and LED display information displayed on the error LED display are stored, and payout control is performed based on this output information. When various commands relating to the payout from the main control board 1310 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the MPU, a payout ACK signal is output to the main control board 1310 or a 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 output to the external terminal board 558 as a prize ball number information output signal. In or (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.

  Following step S548, the payout control MPU performs port input processing (step S550). In this port input process, various signals input to the input terminals of various input ports of the payout control MPU 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 for notifying that the main control board 1310 has normally received various commands transmitted in the command transmission processing described later, etc. Store in the input information storage area.

  Following step S550, the payout control MPU 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.

  Following step S552, the payout control MPU 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 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 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, in the CR communication processing, the payout control MPU exchanges a variety of signals with the CR unit, and while the gaming balls are being paid out to the upper plate 201 or the lower plate 202, the instantaneous stop or power failure causes the CR unit to 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) and the CR unit immediately before stopping or power failure can be continued from the time of power recovery With wear, so that it can continue to perform the payout of the game ball.

  As described above, the exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU) 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. Various signals from the pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU) 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) 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. 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 processing, the logic state of the PRDY signal is read out from the CR communication information storage area at the next timer interrupt from the time of power recovery, and the PRDY signal is an output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU. 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 to the CR unit from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU to notify that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible, to the CR unit 580 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 signal logic state is HI and is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU to the CR unit, when 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, it is informed that the dispensing operation for dispensing the rental balls is impossible. For the outputs from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU logic state of the PRDY signal as LOW to CR unit. 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.

  Subsequent to step S554, the payout control MPU 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.

  Following step S556, the payout control MPU performs command reception processing (step S558). In this command reception process, various commands related to the payout from the main control board 1310 (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 reported to indicate that the connection between the main control substrate 1310 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.

  Following step S558, the payout control MPU 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.

  Following step S560, the payout control MPU 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. .

  Following step S562, the payout control MPU performs an LED display data creation process (step S564). In this LED display data creation process, various information is read from the above-described state information storage area, display data to be displayed on the error LED display of the payout control board 633 is created, and stored in the above-described output information storage area as LED display information. Do. 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.

  Following step S564, the payout control MPU 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 1310. 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 1310 or the like.

  Following step S566, the payout control MPU 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 returns to step S539 again, sets the value A to the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, and determines in step S540 whether or not the power failure notification signal is input, and this power failure notification 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. At step S554, the timer update process is performed. The communication processing is performed, the full tank and ball out check processing is performed in step S556, the command reception processing is performed in step S558, the command analysis processing is performed in step S560, the main operation setting processing is performed in step S562, and the LED is A display data creation process is performed, a command transmission process is performed in step S566, a 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 1310. For this reason, the time required for the processing of the payout control MPU fluctuates. Therefore, in the port output process of step S548, the payout control MPU preferentially outputs to the main control substrate 1310 a payment acknowledgment signal indicating that various commands related to the payment from the main control substrate 1310 have been properly received. There is. As a result, the payout control MPU secures the processing time so that the other fluctuating processing can be sufficiently performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S540 that the payout control MPU has determined that there is an input of the power failure advance signal, the interrupt control MPU 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 stops outputting 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 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 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 sets the payout backup flag HBK-FLG to the value 1 (step S580). This completes the storage of the payout backup information.

  Subsequent to step S580, the payout control MPU performs setting to prohibit access to the payout control built-in RAM (step S582). 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 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 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) is reset when a power failure occurs or when the power failure occurs momentarily, and the payout control unit performs power-on processing 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.

9-2. 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 processing is started, as shown in FIG. 71, the payout control MPU sets the timer interrupt to be prohibited and switches (saves) the register (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 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 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 sets the interrupt permission (step S596), and ends this routine.

[10. 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 1310 (main control MPU) shown in FIG. 137 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 72 is a flow chart showing an example of peripheral control unit power-on processing, FIG. 73 is a flow chart showing an example of peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, and FIG. 74 shows an example of peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing FIG. 75 is a flowchart showing an example of the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process, and FIG. 76 is a flowchart showing an example of the peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt process. 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 MPU of the peripheral control board 1510, the CPU, the RAM, the VDP, the VRAM, the sound source, the SATA controller, and various I / O interfaces are integrated on one semiconductor chip.

10-1. Peripheral control unit power-on process]
First, peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described with reference to FIG. When power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, as shown in FIG. 72, under the control of the peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510, processing for turning on the peripheral control unit power is performed. When the peripheral control unit power-on process is started, the peripheral control MPU performs an initial setting process (step S1000). In this initial setting process, a process of initializing the peripheral control MPU 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 peripheral control MPU first performs processing to initialize the peripheral control MPU itself, but the time taken for the processing to initialize the peripheral control MPU is on the order of microseconds (μs), and the peripheral control MPU is initialized in an extremely short time. Can be As a result, the peripheral control MPU enters a state in which interrupt permission is set, for example, a command or pachinko relating to control of a game effect, which is output from the main control board 1310 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 machine 1.

  Following step S1000, the peripheral control MPU 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 MPU is Set calendar information and current time information.

  In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU 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. The peripheral control MPU outputs a clear signal to the external WDT (not shown) after performing the current time information acquisition processing so that the peripheral control MPU is not reset.

  Following step S1002, the peripheral control MPU 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 a V blank signal indicating that the screen data (information defining the configuration of the screen) from the peripheral control MPU can be received is input from the VDP of the peripheral control MPU The value 1 is set in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing described later which is executed in response to 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. The peripheral control MPU outputs a clear signal to the external WDT after the value V is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG so that the peripheral control MPU is not reset.

  Following step S1004, the peripheral control MPU determines whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1 (step S1006). When the peripheral control MPU determines that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is not the value 1 (is the value 0), the process returns to step S1006 again to determine whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is the value 1 or not. Is determined repeatedly. By repeating such a determination, it will be in the state which waits until peripheral control part steady processing is performed. Further, after determining whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1, the peripheral control MPU outputs a clear signal to the external WDT so that the peripheral control MPU is not reset.

  When it is determined in step S1006 that the peripheral control MPU has determined that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, that is, it has determined that peripheral control unit steady processing is to be performed, the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG is first set to 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.

  Following step S1008, the peripheral control MPU 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 peripheral control MPU performs rendering operation unit monitoring processing (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) Operation history information of section 303, etc.) is rotated based on the RAM of peripheral control MPU to which is set. Monitoring the presence or absence of an operation of the rotation direction and the pushing operation section 303 of the work 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. Specifically, if the volume is adjusted in the rendering operation unit information acquisition process, the sound generation schedule data is rewritten according to the adjusted volume, and if the brightness is adjusted, the light emission mode according to the adjusted brightness Rewrite generation schedule data. Thereby, the adjustment of the volume and the brightness is reflected in real time, and the effect is advanced by the volume and the brightness after the adjustment.

  The peripheral control MPU also performs a lamp pallet setting process as one process of the rendering operation unit monitoring process. 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 including the designated luminance value, the normal pallet value, and the special pallet value. Set each. While the effect is in progress, the lamp pallet setting process is executed, and the player (or the clerk of the game hall or the like) operates the effect operation unit 301 (the rotation operation unit 302, the pressing operation unit 303) to perform the first operation. When one luminance designation value ranging from the luminance designation value to the 31st luminance designation value which is the maximum luminance is set, the above-mentioned floor set in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU so as to become the set luminance designation value The key information can be updated.

  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 the effect is in progress. And the like) can set the desired brightness by operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303. In addition, when a player (or a staff member of 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 the effect is in progress, the first luminance designated value By displaying a bar-like indicator indicating the position up to the designated value, it is possible to visually indicate as an image how much the desired luminance of the player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk 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 (turned 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.

  Following step S1014, the peripheral control MPU performs display data output processing (step S1016). In this display data output processing, in display data creation processing to be described later, the VDP of the peripheral control MPU reads image data from the SDRAM based on an instruction from the peripheral control MPU and generates one screen of the peripheral control MPU generated on the VRAM ( The drawing data of 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 which exceeds the drawing capability of the VDP of the peripheral control MPU, 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. It is a mechanism which can give priority to the effect by the rendering sound such as the music and the sound effects adapted to the various effects from various speakers such as the speaker 622 (hereinafter, referred to as “various speakers”).

  Following step S1016, the peripheral control MPU 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 MPU reads the sound data from the SDRAM based on an instruction from the peripheral control MPU, and outputs it to various speakers from the set output channel. As a result, sounds such as music and sound effects that match various effects flow from various speakers.

  Subsequent to step S1018, the peripheral control MPU performs scheduler update processing (step S1020). In this scheduler update process, various schedule data set in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU are updated. For example, in the scheduler update process, in order to instruct the screen data of the first screen data to be output to the VDP of the peripheral control MPU from the head screen data among the screen data arranged in time series that configures the 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.

  In the scheduler update process, of sound command data for instructing sound data of effect sound such as music and sound effects, and sound data of notification sound and notification sound, which are arranged in time series configuring the sound generation schedule data, The pointer is updated to indicate which sound instruction data is to be output to the sound source of the peripheral control MPU from the head sound instruction data.

  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.

  Following step S1020, the peripheral control MPU performs received command analysis processing (step S1022).

  Following step S1022, the peripheral control MPU 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 peripheral control ROM and set in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU. 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 peripheral control MPU 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 MPU are updated. By this RCT acquisition information update process, time, minute, second, which is time information stored in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU is updated, and it is calendar information stored in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU based on the updated time information. The date is updated.

  Following step S1026, the peripheral control MPU 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 in the peripheral control ROM among the screen data arranged in time series that constitutes the screen generation schedule data. Read out (extracted) and output to VDP of the peripheral control MPU.

  When the screen data is input from the peripheral control MPU, the VDP of the peripheral control MPU reads the image data from the SDRAM based on the input screen data and draws (displays) the image data on the effect display device 1600 ( The drawing data of one frame is generated in the built-in VRAM.

  Following step S1030, the peripheral control MPU performs sound data creation processing (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 peripheral control ROM and sets it in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU. When sound command data is input from the peripheral control MPU, the sound source of the peripheral control MPU reads the sound data from the SDRAM and incorporates the sound data such as music and sound according to the track number defined in the sound command data and outputs Set the output channel to use according to the channel number.

  In the sound data creation process, the rotational position of the volume adjustment switch based on the volume adjustment operation signal from the volume adjustment switch each time the sound data creation process is performed (that is, each time the peripheral control unit steady process is performed). Are identified. The peripheral control MPU controls the sound source of the peripheral control MPU so that the volume corresponds to the rotational position of the volume adjustment switch, and in the sound data output process of step S1018, from the output channel set in the sound data creation process Output sound data to various speakers. As a result, sounds such as music and sound effects are made to flow from various speakers according to various effects.

  Specifically, the resistance value is changed by turning the volume adjustment switch, and the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotational position of the volume switch is converted from an analog value to a digital value, and the value 0 It has been converted to 1024 levels up to the value 1023. In the present embodiment, the values of 1024 stages are divided into seven and managed as substrate volumes 0-6. Mute is set for substrate volume 0, and maximum volume is set for substrate volume 6, and the volume is set to increase from substrate volume 0 to substrate volume 6. The sound source of the peripheral control MPU is controlled to obtain the volume set to the substrate volume 0 to 6, and the top center speaker 462, the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side, and the body frame speaker 622 for low frequency of the body frame 4 Music and sound effects are flowing from the As described above, music and sound effects flow from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for low frequency of the main body frame 4 by the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the volume adjustment switch. It is supposed to be.

  Note that the sound command data also includes sub-volume values for adjusting the volume of the track into which the sound data is to be incorporated, and the plurality of tracks in the built-in sound source of the peripheral control MPU include effects such as music and sound effects. In addition to the sound data and the sub-volume value to adjust the volume, adjust the sound data of the notification sound and its volume to notify the store clerk etc. of the occurrence of the trouble of the pachinko machine 1 or the cheating on the pachinko machine 1 Subvolume values are incorporated.

  Specifically, for the effect sound, the above-described substrate volume adjusted by turning the volume adjustment switch is set as a sub-volume value, and for notification sound, the volume adjustment switch is rotated. The maximum volume is set as the sub-volume value without depending on the volume adjustment based on the operation at all. The sub-volume value of the effect sound is a predetermined period after power on (specifically, a period until the peripheral control unit finishes the initial setting process (step S1000) and the current time setting process (step S1002)) or a special symbol display For a certain period (in this example, the peripheral control unit) when starting or stopping the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) in the container (first special symbol display, second special symbol display) Or 0.5 seconds after the start of the variation display of the decorative symbol after the variation pattern command is received, or 0.5 seconds after the final display of the decoration symbol after the stop display command is received by the peripheral control unit The adjustment can be made by operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 except for the above.

  Thus, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, a predetermined period after power on (specifically, a period until the peripheral control unit completes the initial setting process (step S1000) and the current time setting process (step S1002)) A fixed period (the peripheral in this example) when starting or stopping the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) in the special symbol indicator (first special symbol indicator, second special symbol indicator) After the variation pattern command is received by the control unit and 0.5 seconds have elapsed after the start of variation display of the decorative symbol, or after the stop display command is received by the peripheral control unit, 0.5 is determined after the decorative symbol is displayed. The resistance at the rotational position of the volume adjustment switch in the sound data creation process by operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 except for the lapse of seconds). The voltage divided by this is converted into seven levels of values of substrate volumes 0 to 6, and the rotation operating unit 302 of the rendering operation unit 300 is further converted to the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotational position of the volume adjustment switch. By adding or subtracting a predetermined value in accordance with the operation of the pressing operation unit 303, the substrate volume value can be increased or decreased to set the substrate volume so that the subvolume value of the effect sound can be adjusted. It has become.

  The sound designation data also includes a master volume value for adjusting the volume of the channel to be output, and a plurality of output channels in the built-in sound source of the peripheral control MPU include a plurality of built-in sound sources in the peripheral control MPU. Of the tracks, the sound data of the effect sound incorporated into the used track and the sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the effect sound incorporated into the track used are synthesized, and the volume of this synthesized effect sound is Actually, it amplifies up to the master volume value which becomes the volume that flows from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the body frame speaker 622 for low tone of the body frame 4 and serializes this amplified effect sound Output as audio data.

  In the present embodiment, the master volume value is set to a fixed value, and when the volume of the synthesized effect sound is at the maximum volume, the top center speaker 462 on the door frame 3 side is amplified by amplifying to the master volume value. The volume flowing from the top side speaker 464 and the main body frame speaker 622 for the low frequency of the main body frame 4 is set to be the maximum allowable volume. Specifically, for the effect sound, of the plurality of tracks in the built-in sound source of the peripheral control MPU, the sound data of the effect sound incorporated in the used track and the volume of the effect sound incorporated in the used track The volume adjustment switch set as the sub-volume value to adjust the rotation is composited with the substrate volume adjusted by the rotation operation, and the volume of this synthesized effect sound is actually the top center of the door frame 3 side Amplify up to the master volume value that is the volume flowing from the speaker 462, the topside speaker 464, and the body frame speaker 622 for the low frequency of the body frame 4, serialize this amplified effect sound, and output it as audio data for notification sound For this purpose, adjust the sound data of the notification sound incorporated in the track used and the volume of the notification sound incorporated in the track used Volume is not dependent on the volume adjustment based on the rotation operation of the volume adjustment switch, and the maximum volume is synthesized, and the volume of the synthesized notification sound is actually the top of the door frame 3 It amplifies up to the master volume value which becomes the volume which flows from the center speaker 462, the top side speaker 464, and the main body frame speaker 622 for the low frequency of the main body frame 4, serializes this amplified alerting sound and outputs it as audio data.

  Here, when the effect sound is flowing from the top center speaker 462, the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side, and the main body frame speaker 622 for the low frequency of the main body frame 4, occurrence of a malfunction or pachinko machine of the pachinko machine 1 A brief explanation will be given of the control of sending a notification sound to notify a store clerk in the hall of the fraudulent action against 1. First, the subvolume value of the track in which the effect sound is incorporated is forcibly set to mute, and this effect sound is The sound data of the built-in track, the sub-volume value set to mute, the sound data of the track incorporating the notification sound, and the sub-volume value at which the volume of the notification sound is set to the maximum volume are synthesized The volume of the synthesized effect sound and the volume of the notification sound are actually displayed on the top center speaker 462, the top side speaker 464 of the door frame 3, and the body frame 4. Amplified to a master volume value as the volume flowing from the main body frame speaker 622 for sound, and outputs the audio data to the amplified effect sound and alarm sound and serialized. In other words, only the notification sound with the maximum volume flows from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for the low frequency of the main body frame 4. At this time, since the effect sound is muffled, although it does not flow from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4, the effect sound is the above Proceed according to the schedule data for sound generation.

  In the present embodiment, the notification sound flows from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for low frequency of the main body frame 4 for a predetermined period (for example, 90 seconds). When the predetermined period has elapsed, the volume of the effect sound proceeding according to the sound generation schedule data forcibly set to mute so far is adjusted by turning the volume adjustment switch and the substrate volume is adjusted. At this time, when the volume of the effect sound is adjusted by operating the rotation operation unit 302 or the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300, the sub of the adjusted effect sound is set. (Set to the volume value), the top center speaker 462 on the side of the door frame 3, the top side So that the flow from mosquitoes 622.

  As described above, when the effect sound flows from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for the low frequency of the main body frame 4, occurrence of a problem or pachinko machine of the pachinko machine 1 When a notification sound flows to notify a store clerk in the hall of the fraudulent action against the machine 1, the volume of the effect sound is muted and the notification sound is the top center speaker 462 on the door frame 3 side, the top side speaker 464, the body frame Although the effect sound that has become muffled although it flows from the body frame speaker 622 for low-pitched sound is progressing according to the sound generation schedule data, the notification sound has progressed for a predetermined period and the top central speaker on the door frame 3 side When the sound ceased to flow from the top-side speaker 462, the low-pitched main body frame speaker 622 of the main body frame 4, the notification sound began to flow Rather than begin to flow again from the time, so that begins to flow again from where it started to alarm sound to flow proceeded according to the schedule data for generating sound until after the lapse of a predetermined period of time.

  In addition, the notification sound and the notification sound flow without depending on the volume adjustment based on the rotation operation of the volume adjustment switch, and the peripheral control MPU controls the peripheral volume control MPU by programming the volume from the mute to the maximum volume. The sound source 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 a staff member such as a store clerk in the game hall turns the volume adjustment switch to set the volume small, the pachinko machine 1 is reduced in the effect sound such as music and sound effects flowing from various speakers. An alarm sound set to a large volume (in the present embodiment, the maximum volume) can be made to flow when a failure occurs or when the player is performing a fraudulent act. 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.

  Subsequent to step S1032, the peripheral control MPU performs backup processing (step S1034). In this backup processing, the content stored in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU is copied to a backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU and backed up, and the content stored in the SDRAM is provided in the SDRAM Copy to the regular processing backup area and back it up.

  Following step S1034, the peripheral control MPU performs WDT clear processing (step S1036). In this WDT clear processing, a clear signal is output to the external WDT so that the peripheral control MPU is not reset.

  Following step S1036, the peripheral control MPU sets the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG to the value 0 as completion of execution of the peripheral control unit steady processing (step S1038), and returns to step S1004 again to return the V blank signal detection flag VB. The value in FLG is set to 0 for initialization, and the determination in step S1006 is repeated until the value of 1 is set in 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 are performed. 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 is input from the VDP of the peripheral control MPU to the peripheral control MPU as a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the peripheral control MPU can be received. A value of 1 is set in peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which will be described later, which is triggered by an event. 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.

10-2. Peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing that is executed when the V blank signal indicating that the peripheral control MPU can receive screen data can be received from VDP of the peripheral control MPU is described. Do. When the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing is started, as shown in FIG. 73, the peripheral control MPU determines whether the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG has a value 0 (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. 72 is being executed. When execution of the process is completed, they are set to 0 respectively.

  When it is determined in step S1045 that the peripheral control MPU is not executing the steady process flag SP-FLG at the value 0 (ie, having the value 1), that is, when determining that the peripheral control unit steady process is being executed, this routine is directly performed. finish. On the other hand, in the determination of step S1045, the peripheral control MPU determines that the steady process in progress flag SP-FLG has a value 0, that is, determines that the peripheral control unit steady process has been completed, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG. Is set to 1 (step S1050), and this routine is ended. 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, it is assumed that the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed in the determination of step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing 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 power supply shown in FIG. 72 is provided for the purpose of preventing this. The peripheral control unit V which is this routine is that the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed by setting the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG to a value 1 in step S1008 in the on-time processing (peripheral control unit steady processing). In addition to the blank signal interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit steady processing is performed by setting the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG to 0 in step S1038 in the peripheral control unit power on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) of FIG. By notifying the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing of this routine that execution has been completed, the flag SP-FLG in steady processing is a value at the determination of step S1045 in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing of this routine. It is determined whether or not it is 0, that is, whether or not the peripheral control unit steady processing has been completed. . 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.

  Thus, in the current peripheral control unit steady processing, if the processing is not 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.

10-3. 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 in step S1010 in peripheral control unit steady processing of peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 72 will be described. . When this peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started, as shown in FIG. 74, the peripheral control MPU determines whether or not the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33 (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 step S1100, the peripheral control MPU determines that the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started when the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN is not smaller than 33, that is, the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt occurs. Sometimes, 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 peripheral control MPU determines that the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN is smaller than 33, the peripheral control MPU adds the value 1 to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number 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, the pointer indicates 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 MPU. 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. As a result, an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid managed by the peripheral control MPU (for example, an electric drive source provided to the door frame 3 or an electric drive source provided to various effect units provided to the game board 5) , Driven according to electrical drive source schedule data.

  Subsequent to step S1104, the peripheral control MPU 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 MPU. The peripheral control MPU 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 MPU. The mobile position is grasped by moving or acquiring the movable position.

  Subsequent to step S1106, the peripheral control MPU 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 (rotational 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 MPU. The rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302 and the presence / absence of 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 MPU. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the volume of the effect sound output from the vibration speaker 354, the top center speaker 462, the top side speaker 464, and the body frame speaker 622 of the body frame 4 by operating the effect operation unit 301. It is possible to adjust the brightness of the various LEDs mounted in plural on the various decoration boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5.

  Subsequent to step S1108, the peripheral control MPU performs backup processing (step S1110), and ends this routine. In this backup process, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU are copied and backed up to the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU, and the contents stored in the SDRAM are stored in the SDRAM Copy and backup to the provided backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing. In this embodiment, the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU and the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU are set to different areas, and the SDRAM The backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in and the backup area for steady processing provided in the SDRAM are set in different areas.

  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. 72, various processing relating to the effects of step S1014 to step S1032 is executed as progress of 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 substrate 1510 on which the peripheral control MPU 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.

10-4. Peripheral control command reception interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 will be described. Peripheral control MPU starts transmission of various commands from main control board 1310 as serial data, and triggers main cycle serial data to be 1 byte (8 bits) of serial I / O port of peripheral control MPU. Information is fetched into the reception buffer, and when this fetching is completed, an interrupt is generated triggered by this, and 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 peripheral control MPU determines whether the 1 byte reception period timer has timed out, as shown in FIG. 75 (step S1200). The 1-byte reception period timer is for setting a period in which information of 1 byte (8 bits) can be received among the main cycle serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310.

  In step S1200, when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out, that is, the peripheral control MPU receives 1 byte (8 bits) of information in the main cycle serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310. If it is determined that it is within the acquisition period, 1 byte of information received from the reception buffer of the serial I / O port of the peripheral control MPU is taken (step S1202), and the value 1 is added to the reception counter SRXC (increment, 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, when the reception counter SRXC is not the value 3, that is, the mode which is still the second byte of the main cycle serial data, following the status which is the first byte of the 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 peripheral control MPU determines that the mode is the second byte of the main cycle serial data following the status when the reception counter SRXC is the value 3, that is, the first byte of the main cycle serial data. If it is determined that the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data is taken out from the reception buffer in order, 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 that is the third byte of the main cycle serial data already extracted 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 1310 Therefore, it should be consistent with 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 It is judged whether or not. Accordingly, the peripheral control MPU determines whether the main cycle serial data has been changed to main cycle serial data different from normal due to the influence of noise between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510. be able to.

  In the determination of step S1214, the peripheral control MPU determines that the sum value, which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202, matches the sum value calculated in step S1212. When it is received, 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 MPU (step S1216), End this routine.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S1200, when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out, that is, the peripheral control MPU has 1 byte (8 bits) of information in the main cycle serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310. When it is determined that the period for which reception is possible has been exceeded, or in the determination of step S1214, the peripheral control MPU 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 calculated sum value does not match, the routine ends.

10-5. Peripheral control unit blackout notice signal interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit power failure notification signal interrupt processing that is executed when the power failure notification signal from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control substrate 1310 is input from the main control substrate 1310 will be described. When this peripheral control unit blackout notification signal interrupt process is started, the peripheral control MPU first starts a 2 microsecond timer as shown in FIG. 76 (step S1300), and determines whether the blackout notification signal is input or not. It is determined (step S1302). If it is determined in step S1302 that the peripheral control MPU determines that the power failure advance signal is not input, the routine ends as it is.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1302 that the peripheral control MPU determines that the power failure advance signal is input, 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. In step S1304, when 2 macro seconds have not elapsed, the peripheral control MPU returns to step S1302, determines whether or not a power failure notification signal is input, and determines that a power failure notification signal is not input. Sometimes, this routine is ended as it is, but if it is determined that the power failure notice 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.

  When it is determined in step S1304 that the peripheral control MPU has continued to receive 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 ( 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, stable operation is secured only for a period of 20 milliseconds which is a time during which the peripheral control MPU can operate.

  Subsequent to step S1306, the peripheral control MPU 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 1310, the peripheral control MPU 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 process described above is started, and the received command is stored in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU.

  Subsequent to step S1308, the peripheral control MPU performs command backup processing (step S1310). In the backup processing of this command, the command stored in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU is copied and backed up to a steady processing backup area provided in the RAM of the peripheral control MPU.

  Following step S1310, the peripheral control MPU determines whether or not a power failure advance signal is input (step S1312). If it is determined in step S1312 that the peripheral control MPU has determined that the power failure advance signal is input, WDT clear processing is performed (step S1314). In this WDT clear processing, a clear signal is output to the external WDT to prevent the peripheral control MPU from being reset.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1312 that the peripheral control MPU determines that the power failure notification signal is not input, or following step S1314, the process returns to step S1312 again to determine whether the power failure notification signal is input. judge. That is, it will be judged infinitely whether the power failure notice signal is input. By continuing determination in this manner, the peripheral control MPU can not output the clear signal to the external WDT when the peripheral control MPU determines in the determination of step S1312 that the power failure notification signal is not input, and the peripheral control While the MPU is reset, when it is determined in step S1312 that the peripheral control MPU determines that the power failure notification signal is input, the WDT clear process is performed in step S1314 and the peripheral control MPU is not reset. When the peripheral control MPU is reset, the power-on process of the peripheral control unit shown in FIG. 72 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 peripheral control MPU is not reset immediately before the power failure state is caused by the execution of the WDT clear process in step S1314. It has become. 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 advance notice signal is not continued and released in the infinite loop, the peripheral control MPU 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.

[11. Control processing of main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 1310 (in particular, the main control MPU) will be described. FIG. 77 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the special symbol and special motorized prize control process (step S114).

  Now, assuming that random numbers provided for various lottery processes are updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 77, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is firstly controlled by the first starting opening sensor 2101. The first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the above random number counter on condition that the detection signal is in the on state (the first start opening 2002 is entered) (step S2031) A first starting opening passage process such as storing in one special symbol hold storage area is executed (step S2032). In addition, the second special random number of the second special symbol is the random number under the condition that the detection signal by the second starting opening sensor 2402 is in the on state (there is entering the second starting opening 2004) (step S2033) The second starting opening passage processing such as storing it from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol hold storage area of the RAM is executed (step S2034).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the big hit executing flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is being controlled is set (step S2035), and if the big hit running flag is set, control of the big hit gaming state is performed A big hit control process (step S2039) is executed. In the big hit control process, when the result of the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the stop of the change display of the special symbol (first special symbol, the second special symbol) becomes the mode that suggests "15R big hit A", The large winning opening 2005 is controlled to open and close according to the 15R big hit gaming state A, and the distributing piece 2415 for distributing the gaming ball B accepted to the large winning opening 2005 to either the first receiving port 2007 or the second receiving port 2008 The drive control is performed, and processing is performed to set the gaming ball B to a valid state in the 15th round where it is possible to distribute the gaming ball B to the second receiving port 2008. In addition, when it becomes the mode which suggests “15R big hit B”, opening and closing control of large winning a prize opening 2005 according to 15R big hit gaming state B, gaming ball B which is accepted to large winning a prize opening 2005 first entrance The distribution piece 2415 distributed to either 2007 or the second receiving port 2008 is drive-controlled, and processing is performed to set the gaming ball B to the enabled state in the 15th round where it is possible to distribute the gaming ball B to the second receiving port 2008.

  Here, the "valid state" and the "invalid state" will be described. First, in the present embodiment, the "effective state" is provided as a state when the gaming ball B is received by the second receiving port 2008. Here, in the 15th round where it is possible to distribute the game ball B to the second reception port 2008, the "effective state" is high after the big hit game state is ended by the game ball B being received in the second reception port 2008 It is a state that is permitted (enabled) to control to the probability state. Therefore, by the gaming ball B being received in the second receiving port 2008 in the “effective state”, the state is controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state. Further, in the present embodiment, as a state in which the game ball B is not accepted in the second receiving port 2008, it has an “ineffective state” different from the “effective state”. Here, the “ineffective state” is a state in which the game ball B is not accepted in the second reception port 2008 in principle, such as the first to fourteenth rounds in which the game ball B is distributed to the first reception port 2007. Even if the game ball B is received in the second entrance 2008, it is not permitted (disabled) to control to the high probability state after the end of the big hit game state. Therefore, even if the game ball B is received in the second receiving port 2008 in the "inactive state", the game is not controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state. Also, in the "invalid state", when the gaming ball B is accepted in the second entrance 2008 due to the occurrence of an anomaly such as a fraudulent act, information on the occurrence of such anomaly can be notified to the hole management side Therefore, it is set as the period monitored as to whether or not the game ball B is accepted in the second receiving port 2008. In the present embodiment, the "effective state" is set for a predetermined round (15th round) that enables the game ball B to be distributed to the second receiving port 2008, and the second receiving port 2008 is played for the game. Whenever the ball B is accepted, it is controlled to the high probability state after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Moreover, although it sets to the "invalid state" to the predetermined | prescribed round (1st-14th round) which does not distribute the game ball B to the 2nd receiving port 2008, you may set to a "valid state." As described above, even if the game is set to the "effective state" in all rounds in the jackpot gaming state, the game ball B can not be accepted in the second receiving port 2008 in the first to fourteenth rounds in principle. It is important whether the game ball B is accepted in the second entrance 2008 in the 15th round set in the "valid state", as in the case of the "invalid state" in the 14th round.

  Further, in the big hit control process (step S2041), after the release control of the big winning opening 2005 is performed, each set process of a high probability flag, a short time flag, and a short time counter is executed. The high probability flag is a flag indicating that the state is a high probability state. During the execution of the big hit gaming state based on the big hit (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B), it is possible to distribute the game ball B to the second receiving port 2008 among the first to fifteenth round opening the big winning opening 2005 If the game ball B is received in the second entrance 2008 during the 15th round in the active state, the high probability flag is set because the high probability state (high probability time short state) is controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state If it is set, but the gaming ball B is not accepted in the second entrance 2008 during the 15th round of the effective state, it is controlled to the high probability state (high probability time short state) after the end of the big hit gaming state The high probability flag is not set because it does not. Then, when the high probability flag is set, or when the next big hit, or when the counter value of the time reduction counter becomes “0” first special symbol stop processing shown in FIG. 126 described later or A high probability flag is reset by the 2nd special symbol stop processing which is not illustrated.

  In addition, the time saving flag is a flag indicating that it is a time saving state, and the big hit (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B) which is controlled to the time short status (high probability time short status, low probability time short status) after the big hit gaming state ends. It is set when ending the jackpot gaming state based on. Then, the time saving flag is the next big hit, or when the count value of the time saving counter becomes “0”, the first special symbol stop processing shown in FIG. 126 described later or the second special symbol not shown shown in FIG. It is reset by processing.

  In addition, the time reduction counter is a counter that indicates the remaining number of fluctuation display of the special symbol (first special symbol and second special symbol) as the number of continuations of the time reduction state, and the time reduction state (high probability) after the end of the big hit gaming state When ending the big hit gaming state based on the big hit (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B) to control to the short time state, low probability time short state), the number of continuation times of the short state is set, and the short time counter The countdown is performed each time the variable display of the special symbol is executed until the counter value becomes “0”, but when the next big hit is reached before the counter value becomes “0”, FIG. 126 described later It is reset by the first special symbol stop process shown in or the second special symbol stop process (not shown) (the counter value is returned to "0").

  In addition, if the big hit execution flag is not set, the condition that the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area is "0" (Step S2036) The first special symbol process processing including the lottery processing according to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the first special symbol is executed (step S2037), and the second special symbol stored in the second special symbol storage area The second special symbol including the lottery process according to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the second special symbol condition that the value of the second special reserve number counter showing the number of special random numbers is not "0" (step S2036) Process processing is executed (step S2038). Thus, in this example, the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed when the value of the second special hold number counter is not "0".

  FIG. 78 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first starting opening passage processing (step S2032).

  Now, if it is determined in the process of step S2031 that the first starting opening sensor 2101 is in the on state and it is determined that the game ball B has entered the first starting opening 2002, this is shown in FIG. 78. As described above, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S2041.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 acquires a counter value by the first special hold number counter indicating the number of first special random numbers stored in the first special symbol hold storage area from the main control built-in RAM, Based on the counter value, it is determined whether the first pending storage number is "4" which is the maximum value (upper limit value) (step S2042). In the process of step S2042, when it is determined that the first reserved storage number is not the maximum value, the following steps S2043 to S204 are performed to newly put variable display control of the first special symbol into the pending state. The processing of S2045 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S2043, the first special hold number counter is incremented (one added). Then, as the process of step S2044, the first special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special hold number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM, each random number acquired in the step S2041 Store in

  In addition, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 displays the display result of the first special symbol variation display based on the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variation random number acquired in step S2041. Whether the jackpot is a big hit or not, the type of big hit if it is a big hit, or the reach type as a game effect to be executed by the effect display device 1600 if it is not a big hit After the effect pre-determination process of determining the prior determination information such as the type of variation pattern) before starting the variation display according to the start winning combination (step S2045), the process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S2042 that the first pending storage number is the maximum value, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly put on hold by terminating the process without executing the process of step S2043 to step S2045.

  In addition, when the number of first reserved memories changes based on the game ball B entering the first starting opening 2002, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the first special number-of-retentions indicator in the function display unit 1400 is suspended for the first The command is updated so as to correspond to the number of memories, and a command (first number of pending designation commands 0 to 4) instructing the first number of pending storages is set in the above storage process (step S20) and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 It is supposed to The peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510 is configured to display the first hold storage number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the first hold number specification commands 0 to 4.

  FIG. 79 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the effect advance determination process (step S2045). When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 starts the effect predetermination process, the predetermination table (not shown) and the random numbers acquired in step S2041 (specifically, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, and the variation) Whether it will be a big hit by comparing it with a random number, the type of big hit if it is big hit, the reach effect is executed or executed as a game effect to be executed by the effect display device 1600 if it does not become a big hit The mode type of the game effect is specified (step S2061).

  Then, the identified prior determination information (whether or not to be a big hit, the type of big hit if it is a big hit, or the reach effect as a game effect to be executed by the effect display device 1600 if it is not a big hit, or According to the type of game effect to be played, the type of the acquired special random number (first special random number), and the number of held memories (value of the held number counter) stored corresponding to the acquired special random number Set the pre-decision command. For example, in the effect prior determination process regarding the first special symbol executed in step S2045 of the first starting opening passage process, the specified prior determination information, the acquisition of the first special random number, and the first number of pending storages (the A first special symbol predetermination command according to one special suspension number counter) and the first special symbol predetermination command are set (step S2062).

  Then, by transmitting a priori determination command from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 in the special symbol command control process (step S16), it is stored corresponding to the first starting opening 2002 where the start winning is generated. Whether or not the display result of the variation display of the special symbol based on the start winning combination is made a big hit or not, in the case of a big hit the type of big hit, if not a big hit, the effect display device 1600 executes Peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 before starting variable display according to the start winning combination, such as executing reach effect as the played game effect or the type type of the game effect to be executed Will be able to understand.

  When the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the preliminary determination command from the main control board 1310, it stores the preliminary determination information indicated by the received preliminary determination command. Specifically, the RAM of the peripheral control MPU is provided with a first holding storage area for storing prior determination information regarding the variable display of the first special symbol.

  Also, the first pending storage area has 1 to 4 storage areas corresponding to the pending storage number, and the peripheral control MPU stores the first (first) prior determination information indicated by the received prior determination command. Store in order from the area. Then, when the prior determination information is stored in the n-th (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the prior determination information notified to the (n + 1) -th (n = 1 to 3) storage area when the a priori determination command is received Is stored, and when the first variation pattern command for notifying the start of variation display of the first special symbol is received, the advance stored in the first storage area of the first pending storage area according to the received first variation pattern command Discard the determination information and move the prior determination information stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area to the N-1st (N = 2 to 4) th storage area (in the pending storage area Shift stored pre-decision information). Thereby, the prior determination information of the first special symbol is stored so as to be able to specify the order in which the suspension of the variable display start has occurred, and is discarded in order from the earliest prior determination information.

  As described above, when the variable display control is put on hold, although the variable display control is maintained in the unexecuted state (pending), the jackpot expectation of the variable display control (pseudo-winning probability) ) Can be notified in advance at a predetermined timing such as, for example, at the time of new output of the hold display or at the time of shift display of the hold display according to the hold termination. .

  FIG. 80 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the second start port passing process (step S2034).

  Now, if it is determined in the process of step S2033 that the second start port sensor 2402 is in the on state and it is determined that the game ball B has entered the second start port 2004, this is shown in FIG. 80. As described above, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S2051.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 obtains the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the main control built-in RAM, and the second hold storage number is the maximum value (upper limit value) based on this counter value. It is judged whether or not it is "4" (step S2052). In the process of step S2052, when it is determined that the second pending storage number is not the maximum value, the following step S2053 is performed to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol into the pending state. The processing of S2054 will be performed. That is, first, in the process of step S2053, the second special hold number counter is incremented (one added). Next, as the process of step S2054, each random number acquired in step S2051 corresponds to the second special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special hold number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM Store in

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S2052 that the second pending storage number is the maximum value, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly put on hold by ending the process without executing the process of steps S2053 to S2054.

  In addition, when the number of second reserved memories changes based on the game ball B entering the second starting opening 2004, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the second special number-of-retentions indicator in the function display unit 1400 is suspended second The command is updated to correspond to the number of storages, and a command (second number-of-holdings designation command 0 to 1) instructing the second number of pending storages is set in the above storage process (step S20) and transmitted to peripheral control board 1510 It is supposed to The peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510 is configured to display the second hold storage number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the second hold number designation commands 0 to 4.

  FIG. 81 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol process processing (step S2037). In addition, the first special symbol process processing executed in step S2037 of the special symbol and special motorized symbol control processing and the second special symbol process processing executed in step S2038 of the special symbol and special electric symbol controlled processing are the same. The program module is different from the above in that only the random numbers and tables used for the determination are different, so only the special symbol and the first special symbol process process executed in step S2037 of the special electric symbol combination control process will be described here. In the first special symbol process processing, one of the following five process treatments will be selectively executed in accordance with the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag.

1. The first special random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU is read, and based on the read first special random number, the first special symbol is subjected to lottery processing etc. for the display mode at the time of stop of the fluctuation control of the first special symbol. Symbol normal processing (step S2080)
2. The first special symbol stop symbol setting process in which the determination process of the mode at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol is performed based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol (step S2081 )
3. The fluctuation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 based on the fluctuation random number, and the fluctuation mode of the effect display executed on the effect display device 1600 corresponding to the special symbol First variation pattern setting process where the lottery process etc. for the subject is performed (step S2082)
4. First special symbol variation processing to wait until the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped (step S2083)
5. The mode at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol determined based on the result of the lottery process about the display mode at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol is displayed on the first special symbol indicator of the function display unit 1400 First special symbol stop processing to stop the variable display of the first special symbol as described above (step S2084)

  The first special symbol process flag is manipulated to indicate that the first special symbol normal processing (step S2080) should be performed in the above-described processing of step S1 (see FIG. 173).

  FIG. 82 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first special symbol normal processing (step S2080).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 82, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs step S2101. As processing of, it is judged whether there is fluctuation display control of the first special symbol in the state of suspension based on the counter value by the first special suspension number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the state of suspension, then it is stored in the first special symbol suspension storage area of the main control MPU as the processing of step S2102 next. The random number stored in the first storage area of the random numbers (for example, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, the variable random number) related to the display mode of the first special symbol . Then, as the processing of steps S2103 and S2104, the first special number-of-holds counter is counted down and the first special symbol storage area of the first special symbol storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU is stored. A shift operation is performed on a random number (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) related to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbol in a first-in first-out mode.

  Specifically, the first special symbol hold storage area has four storage areas of 1 to 4, and stores the random numbers extracted according to the occurrence of the start winning from the first (first) area in order. Then, when a random number is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, when the start winning is generated, the extracted random number is stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area, and the first When the variable display start condition based on the random numbers stored in the storage area of is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area Various random numbers are moved to the (N-1) -th (N = 2 to 4) -th storage area. Thus, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the first special symbol occurs is stored so as to be identifiable, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the suspension occurring first) become.

  After that, as the process of step S2105, the big hit determination process which is a lottery process for the above big hit is performed based on the read first special random number of the first special symbol. Thereafter, when the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing (step S2081) (step S2106), this processing is ended.

  FIG. 83 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the big hit determination process (step S2105).

  If the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is in the high probability state (high probability time short state, high probability short time state) when the current gaming state is high (step S2111), the high probability time shown in FIG. The big hit determination table is selected (step S2112), and if the current gaming state is the low probability state (step S2111), the big hit determination table for low probability shown in FIG. 84A is selected (step S2113) and selected The determined big hit determination table is compared with the first special random number read in step S2102 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S2114).

  The big hit judgment table shown in FIG. 84 (A) is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU, and the gaming state is low probability (normal state (low probability non-short state) and short time state (low probability time short state)) And a high probability big hit determination table used when the gaming state is high probability (high probability time reduction state). In the jackpot determination table with low probability, 1/319 when the set value is 1, 1/309 when the set value 2, 1/299 when the set value 3 and 1/3 when the set value Matches with the big hit judgment value indicating that the first special random number is won by the big hit probability with 1/289, 1/279 when the set value is 5, and 1/269 when the set value is 6. The first special random numbers are associated with each other such that the first special random numbers other than the first special random numbers coincide with a deviation determination value indicating that the above is a deviation. In the special symbol and the second special symbol process process executed in step S2038 of the special motorized symbol control process, in the jackpot determination table at low probability to be compared with the second special random number, the first As in the low probability big hit judgment table to be compared to the special random numbers, 1/319 in the case of the set value 1, 1/309 in the case of the set value 2 and in the case of the set value 3 If the second special random number is won with a big hit probability of 1/299, 1/289 if the setting value is 4, 1/279 if the setting value is 5, and 1/269 if the setting value is 6. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating. And the second special random numbers other than the above match the deviation determination value indicating that the above is a deviation.

  Further, in the big hit judgment table at high probability, 1 / 31.9 for the setting value 1, 1 / 30.9 for the setting value 2, 1 / 29.9 for the setting value 3, The first special random number (at low probability) with a big hit probability of 1 / 28.9 for setting value 4, 1 / 27.9 for setting value 5, and 1 / 26.9 for setting value 6 Of the first special random number set in the jackpot determination table of the same as the first special random number set in the jackpot determination table) matches the jackpot determination value, and the other first special random numbers match the outlier determination value. Special random numbers are associated with each other. As described above, in this embodiment, in the high probability state (high probability time short state), when the big hit judgment value indicating that the big hit is won is low probability (normal state (low probability non-short time state)) for each set value. And 10 times the time saving state (low probability time saving state)). In the special symbol and the second special symbol process processing executed in step S2038 of the special motorized symbol control process, in the big hit judgment table at the time of high probability, which is referred to compare with the second special random number, Similar to the high probability big hit judgment table to be compared to the special random numbers, 1 / 31.9 for the set value 1 and 1 / 30.9 for the set value 2 The big hit of 1 / 29.9, 1 / 28.9 for the set value 4, 1 / 27.9 for the set value 5, and 1 / 26.9 for the set value 6 The second special random number (including the second special random number same as the second special random number set in the jackpot determination table at low probability) with the probability matches the jackpot determination value, and the other second special random numbers are lost The second special random number is matched to the judgment value. It is associated.

  If the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 compares the selected big hit determination table with the first special random number read in step S2102 of the first special symbol normal processing, if it is determined to be a big hit (step S2115 ), The big hit flag which shows that the particular fluctuation is big hit is set, it ends processing (step S2116), the first special which it reads out with step S2102 of the selected big hit decision table and the 1st special symbol normal processing As a result of comparison with the random numbers, when it is determined to be out, the reach determination table (not shown) is compared with the reach random numbers read out in step S2102 (step S2117). Then, as a result of comparison between the reach determination table and the reach random numbers read in step S2102, when it is determined that the reach is out (step S2118), the reach flag indicating that the fluctuation becomes reach is set and processing is performed. The process ends (step S2119).

  FIG. 85 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S2081).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 85, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first of all, The result of the lottery process of the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the first special symbol, that is, the result of the above-mentioned big hit determination process (step S2105) is determined. The determination of the lottery processing result is performed by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S2121).

  If the big hit flag is set in step S2121, the main control MPU compares the first symbol random number read out in step S2102 of the first special symbol normal processing with the symbol determination table shown in FIG. 84 (B). (Step S2122) The type of the big hit is determined, and the mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol) at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined type of the big hit is determined (step S2123). On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not set in step S2121, it is determined that the first special symbol is out of pattern as the variation stop state (step S2124).

  As shown in FIG. 84 (B), in the symbol determination table, symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) are stored in association with each determination result (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B) ing. The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines the type of the big hit by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number. In the symbol determination table of this example, the determination probability of the type of jackpot determined based on the first symbol random number and the determination probability of the type of jackpot determined based on the second symbol random number are set to be different ing.

In particular,
1.15R The big winning opening 2005 is controlled to open and close according to the gaming state A, and the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a short time in the 15th round (opening where the game ball B is difficult to enter. For example, 0. In the big hit gaming state when the game ball B is received in the second receiving port 2008 when 5 seconds) and long time opening (the game ball B can enter (easy) opening, for example, 20 seconds) If the game ball B is accepted at the second entrance 2008 during the 15th round, it is set to the state to be controlled to the high probability state after the end, special after the end of the big hit gaming state The game ball B is controlled at the second receiving port 2008 during the 15th round of the effective state while controlling to the high probability time short state until the variable display of the symbols (first special symbol and second special symbol) is executed 100 times. Not accepted When the can, 15R jackpot A is controlled to a low probability time reduction mode until the variation display of the special symbol after the completion of the jackpot gaming state (first special symbol and the second special symbol) is executed 100 times
2.15R The opening and closing of the big winning opening 2005 is controlled according to the big hit gaming state B, and the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a short time in the 15th round (the game ball B is difficult to enter. For example, 0. Set to the valid state (a state in which the game ball B is received in the second receiving port 2008 will be controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state) when 5 seconds), and it is valid in the 15th round If gaming ball B is received in second entrance 2008 during the state, after the end of the jackpot gaming state is high until the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol and second special symbol) is executed 100 times If the game ball B is not accepted in the second entrance 2008 during the 15th round of the effective state while controlling to the probability time short state, the special symbol (the first special symbol and the first after the end of the big hit gaming state Determining 15R jackpot B which variation display of the special symbols) is controlled to a low probability time reduction until it is executed 100 times, from among the two types of jackpot to any jackpot.

  In the 15R big hit gaming state A of this example, the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a short time (0.5 second) as an operation schedule of the big winning opening 2005 in the 15th round, and a predetermined time (4.5 seconds) It is set to open the special winning opening 2005 for a long time (20 seconds) after the lapse of seconds). In addition, as the operation schedule of distribution piece 2415 in the 15th round, when the short opening (0.5 seconds) of big winning opening 2005 is started, the short time operation (0.2 seconds) of distribution piece 2415 is started And when the long opening (20 seconds) of the big winning opening 2005 is started, the long operation (10 seconds) of the distribution piece 2415 is started, and the second inlet 2008 during the operation period of the distribution pieces 2415 The game ball B is set to be acceptable. In addition, as the state setting schedule of the second entrance 2008 in the 15th round, the effective state (the state that it will be controlled to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state is ended by the game ball B being received in the second entrance 2008) Is set to).

  On the other hand, in the 15R big hit gaming state B of this example, the big winning opening 2005 is set to be opened for a short time (0.5 seconds) as the operation schedule of the big winning opening 2005 in the 15th round. In addition, as the operation schedule of distribution piece 2415 in the 15th round, when the short opening (0.5 seconds) of big winning opening 2005 is started, the short time operation (0.2 seconds) of distribution piece 2415 is started The game ball B is set to be receivable in the second receiving port 2008 during the operation period of the distribution piece 2415. In addition, as the state setting schedule of the second entrance 2008 in the 15th round, the effective state (the state that it will be controlled to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state is ended by the game ball B being received in the second entrance 2008) Is set to).

  As described above, both the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B are valid in the 15th round (The game ball B is received by the second receiving port 2008 and the big hit state after the big hit gaming state ends. In the 15R big hit gaming state A, it is set to be controlled, but the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (20 seconds) at the second opening of the big winning opening 2005 in the 15th round. It is extremely easy for the game ball B to be accepted, and furthermore, since the distributing piece 2415 is operated for a long time (10 seconds) during the long opening time (20 seconds) of the big winning opening 2005, It is extremely easy for the accepted gaming ball B to be distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2008. As described above, in the 15R big hit gaming state A, since the probability that the game ball B will be accepted in the second receiving port 2008 in the 15th round set to the valid state is extremely high, the high probability state is controlled after the big hit gaming state ends. The probability of doing so is also very high. On the other hand, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, the big winning opening 2005 is only opened for a short time in the 15th round (0.5 seconds), so it is extremely difficult for the gaming ball B to be accepted in the big winning opening 2005. The game ball B accepted by the big winning prize port 2005 is the second because the distributing piece 2415 is only activated for a short time (0.2 seconds) during a short opening time (0.5 second) of the big winning prize port 2005. It is extremely difficult to be assigned (accepted) to the reception port 2008. As described above, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, since the probability that the game ball B is accepted in the second receiving port 2008 in the 15th round set to the valid state is extremely low, it is controlled to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state ends. The probability of doing so is also very low.

  In addition, as an operation schedule of the distribution piece 2415, the distribution piece 2415 is operated for a short time (0.2 seconds), and after a predetermined time (4.8 seconds) elapses, the distribution piece 2415 is opened for a long time (10 The operation of such a distribution piece 2415 when it has a single operation schedule set to be seconds) and starts the 15th round in the 15R big hit gaming state A and 15 R big hit gaming state B I am trying to start the schedule. Thus, by setting the operation schedule of the distribution piece 2415 as a single operation schedule, the amount of data concerning the operation schedule of the distribution piece 2415 is not increased as much as possible.

  In addition, in the 15R big hit gaming state A and 15R big hit gaming state B of this example, the big winning prize port 2005 is opened for a long time (20 seconds) as an operation schedule of the big winning prize port 2005 in each round of 1 to 14 rounds. Is set as. In addition, as the operation schedule of the distribution piece 2415 in each round of the 1st to 14th rounds, the distribution piece 2415 is not operated, and during that period, the game ball B is sent to the first reception port 2007 instead of the second reception port 2008. Is set to be acceptable. In addition, as a state setting schedule of the 2nd entrance 2008 in each round of 1st-14th round, invalid state (In principle, the game ball B is not accepted in the 2nd entrance 2008, after the end of the big hit game state It is set to the state which will not control to a high probability state. Thus, in the 1st to 14th rounds of 15R big hit gaming state A and 15R big hit gaming state B, the game ball B is distributed to the second receiving port 2008 when the big winning opening 2005 like the 15th round is opened. Without playing the game (acceptable), it is designed to play a game whether the game ball B is accepted when the big winning opening 2005 is opened.

  In this example, a symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and a symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol are provided. And, in the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, the distribution of the determination value is set to be different compared to the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, so that the determination ratio of each big hit is different ing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 84 (B), in the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, of the 15R big hit A and 15R big hit B, 15R big hit A (15 rounds, which is relatively advantageous to the player) Distribution of 50 judgment values for the jackpot B) which has a high probability that the game ball B will be accepted in the second entrance 2008 during the eye active state, and the probability of controlling to the high probability state after the jackpot gaming state is high. Is set relatively badly for the player 15R big hit B (the probability that the game ball B will be accepted in the second entrance 2008 during the 15th round effective state is low, the end of the big hit gaming state The distribution of 50 judgment values is set for a jackpot) in which the probability of controlling to a high probability state is low. On the other hand, in the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, of the 15R jackpot A and 15R jackpot B, the distribution of 65 judgment values is set for the 15R jackpot A, which is relatively advantageous to the player. On the other hand, the distribution of 35 judgment values is set for the 15R big hit B which is relatively disadvantageous to the player. As described above, when the first special symbol side is a big hit, the type of big hit is determined at the time of the first big hit because the player determines either 15R big hit A or 15R big hit B with different degrees of advantage. Can be noticed. In addition, in the time reduction state controlled after the end of the jackpot gaming state, the game of the second special symbol side (a game that allows the game ball B to enter the second starting opening 2004 is played) is performed, but the second special At the time of big hit on the symbol side, it is decided to 15R big hit game A with a higher probability than the big hit on the first special symbol side, so that it is possible to pay attention to what amount of winning balls can be obtained at consecutive villas. it can. Therefore, the game does not become monotonous because the game nature changes between the first big hit time and the consecutive time time.

  Moreover, if the kind of big hit is determined, the stop design according to the kind of big hit will be determined as a mode at the time of the stop of the first special symbol. Specifically, if it is decided that 15R big hit A is decided as big hit symbol, it is decided to be 15 R big hit A symbol, and if it is decided to be 15 R big hit B, it is decided to be 15 R big hit B symbol as big hit symbol. In addition, in the 2nd special symbol stop symbol setting processing which is not illustrated, when it is decided to be 15R big hit A, it is decided to be 15 R big hit A symbol as a big hit symbol.

  And after the decision processing about the stop design is done in this way, as the processing of step S2125, these drawing results (the type of big hit, reach out indication, indication of either out (the form of the stop special pattern of the first special symbol A determination result notification command corresponding to each lottery result is set so that the instruction may be sent to the peripheral control board 1510). After that, when the above first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the above first variation pattern setting process (step S2082) as the process of step S2126, this process is ended. The peripheral control MPU starts variable display of left, middle and right decorative symbols based on the received judgment result notification command and fluctuation pattern command, and stops and displays them in the order of left decorative symbol → right decorative symbol → middle decorative symbol Thus, the display control of the effect display device 1600 is performed.

  Specifically, the peripheral control MPU, as a mode (stop symbol) at the time of the variation stop of the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600, is 15R out of the big hit related to the first special symbol from the received judgment result notification command. When the big hit A is specified, it is decided on the 15R big hit A symbol (combination of the same decorative symbols), and when the 15R big hit B is identified it is decided on the 15R big hit B symbol (common to the 15R big hit A symbol) When the fluctuation time specified from the pattern command has elapsed (when the reach effect is ended), the stop symbol determined is displayed on the effect display device 1600. As described above, when the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600 is stopped changing at either the 15R big hit A symbol or the 15R big hit B symbol, it can be determined that a big hit is made from the stopped symbol of the decorative symbol. Although it is possible, since 15R big hit A symbol and 15 R big hit B symbol are used as common symbols, it is not possible to distinguish either 15R big hit A or 15R big hit B.

  In addition, when the peripheral control MPU specifies the out of reach from the received determination result notification command as a mode (stop symbol) at the time of the variation stop of the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600, the out pattern with the reach is (A combination of decorative designs that are not identical, but the left and right decorative designs are the same.) A combination of non-identical outlying designs (not identical), but with left and right decorative designs if outliers are specified. Is determined to be non-identical, and display control of the determined stop symbol is performed on the effect display device 1600 when the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern command has elapsed (when the game effect is ended).

  FIG. 86 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S2082).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 86, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 sets the big hit flag. If it is (step S2141), the variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of big hit according to the type of big hit decided in step S2123 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process and the current gaming state is selected (step S2142) If the reach flag is set (step S2143), the fluctuation pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach according to the current gaming state is selected (step S2144), and both the big hit flag and the reach flag When it is not set, that is, when it becomes a normal release (a release that does not perform reach production) Selects the off time of the fluctuation pattern table (not shown) (step S 2145).

  Then, the variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S2102 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S2146), and the determined variation pattern is to be started. A variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 1510 is set, and variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is started (step S2147). Further, the main control MPU sets the fluctuation time set corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined to determine the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation timer (step S2148). As a result, effect control is performed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600 for the fluctuation time determined in this way.

  The variation pattern table of this example is provided with a plurality of types for each determination result based on the special random number (first special random number, second special random number) and the symbol random number (first symbol random number, second symbol random number). In addition, in the fluctuation patterns set in each fluctuation pattern table, a plurality of fluctuation time information indicating a predetermined time (variation time) required for fluctuation display control of the above special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is It is stored in a form associated with each of the variable random numbers. Thus, the main control MPU selects a variation pattern table selected from among a plurality of variation pattern tables according to the determination result based on the special random number and the symbol random number, and the variation random number read out in step S2102 of the first special symbol normal processing. Are compared, and fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number is acquired from this table to determine the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). Thereby, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The fluctuation pattern table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU.

  Further, in the variation pattern table at the time of reach in the present example, it is set so as to determine the type type of reach effect to be executed by comparing the determination value indicating which reach effect is to be performed with the change random number. . For example, among the reach effects, the super reach effect has a higher expectation for a big hit than the normal reach effect, and when the super reach effect is executed, the player's expectation for the big hit gaming state is increased.

  In addition, when the variable display control of the first special symbol is started, the first special symbol process flag described above is transferred to the first special symbol variation processing (step S 2083) as the processing of step S 2149 next. When updated, this processing ends.

  In this example, in the variation pattern table at the time of disconnection, the variation time information of the special symbol set to about 1 second at the time of short is associated with the above special symbol random number (first special symbol, second special symbol). When the time is short, the variation time information of the special symbol set to about 12 seconds is associated with the special symbol random number (first special symbol, second special symbol), and the variation pattern of the special symbol is set. That is, as compared with the variation pattern at the time of non-short time, the variation pattern at the time of short time selected as the time-short can be extremely short in time required for the variable display control of the special symbol. The fluctuation time information of the symbol is set.

  FIG. 87 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first special symbol variation process (step S2083).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 87, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs step S2171. As a process of (1), the fluctuation timer for which the fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S2082) for the fluctuation pattern is set is decremented by one. Then, if it is determined that the fluctuation time timer is 0, that is, the above-mentioned lottery fluctuation time has elapsed (step S2172), the process proceeds to step S2173. That is, when the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process proceeds to the above-mentioned first special symbol stop processing (step S2084) in the processing of step S2173, this processing is ended.

  FIG. 88 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop process (step S2084).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 88, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs step S2181. The display control for displaying the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed as the processing of the first special symbol stop symbol, and the effect display device 1600 A stop display command for instructing derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol according to the stop symbol of the first special symbol is set as the command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S2182).

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines whether or not the counter value of the time counter is "0" while the time shortening flag is set and the number of continuation times of the time saving state is set. (Step S2183). Then, if the counter value is not "0", after counting down the time counter (step S2184), it is further determined whether the counter value of the simultaneous short counter is "0" (step S2185). . As a result, if the same counter value is "0", the time saving flag is reset, and if the high probability flag is set, the high probability flag is reset (step S2186). If it is determined in the process of step S2183 that the counter value of the time reduction counter is “0”, or if it is determined in the process of step S2185 that the time reduction counter is not “0”. At that time, the process proceeds to step S2187.

  When the big hit flag is set (step S2187), a big hit start command indicating that the big hit gaming state is started is set (step S2189), and the big hit gaming state is started (big hit round start command is set) The standby time (period for displaying a message to start the big hit gaming state, etc.) until it is set is set in the interval timer (step S2190). Then, next, when the high probability flag is set, the high probability flag is reset, and when the time shortening flag is set, the time shortening flag is reset, and the count value of the time reduction counter is If it is not "0", the same counter value is reset (returned to "0"), and then a big hit running flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is being executed is set (step S2191), and the first special symbol process is executed. When the flag is updated so that the process can be shifted to the first special symbol normal processing which is the initial value (step S2192), this processing is ended.

  The jackpot start command is a command to be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is individually prepared according to the type of jackpot (15R jackpot A, 15R jackpot B). In step S2189, a jackpot start command (15R jackpot A start command, 15R jackpot B start command) corresponding to the type of jackpot is set. As a result, the effect corresponding to the type of the big hit instructed by the big hit start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like.

  FIG. 89 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the big hit control process (step S2039).

  In the above step S2189, the waiting time until the big hit gaming state starts is set in the interval timer, but in the processing of step S2401, after the waiting time set in this interval timer has elapsed, FIG. As shown, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 controls the opening and closing of the big winning opening 2005, and the effective state in the 15th round (the game ball B is received in the second receiving port 2008 so that the big hit gaming state Large winning opening opening and closing process (step S2402) to be set in a state to be controlled to a high probability state after the end of the game ball B received in the fifth winning opening in the 15th round to the second entrance 2008 While controlling the distribution piece 2415 so that it becomes possible to distribute, and at the 15th round Performing second receiving opening and closing process of monitoring the second receiving port 2008 in effect state whether the game ball B accepted (step S2403), in this order.

  FIG. 90 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the special winning opening / closing process (step S2402).

  If it is determined in step S 2411 that the special winning opening 2005 is in the open state, then the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 receives the special winning opening 2005, as shown in FIG. 90. When a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds when opening for a long time, 0.5 seconds when opening for a short time) has elapsed from the open state of the special winning opening 2005 according to the operation schedule of (step S2412) When the game ball B wins the maximum winning number (for example, nine) in the open special winning opening 2005 (step S 2413), the open special winning opening 2005 is controlled to be closed (step S 2414). When it is determined that the current round is ended by controlling the large winning opening 2005 in the closed state (step S 2415), the type and the number of rounds of the big hit as a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 The big hit round end command according to is set (step S2416), and it transfers to step S2428.

  If it is determined in step S 2411 that the special winning opening 2005 is in the closed state, as shown in FIG. 90, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 receives the special winning opening 2005. When it is determined that the new winning opening 2005 is to be opened by controlling the opening of the big winning opening 2005 when it is time to open the big winning opening 2005 according to the operation schedule of (step S2417). (Step S2418), a big hit round start command according to the type of big hit and the number of new rounds is set as the command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S2419). Then, when it is determined that it is the timing to set the valid state flag according to the state setting schedule of the second receiving port 2008, that is, the 15th round of the 1st to 15th rounds of opening the big winning opening 2005 If it is the start time (step S 2420), the valid state flag is set (step S 2421). When the valid state flag is set at the start of the fifteenth round in step S2420, it is necessary to reset the valid state flag at the end of the fifteenth round. Then, the big winning opening 2005 in a closed state or the big winning opening 2005 is controlled to an open state (step S2422), and the process shifts to step S2428. When it is determined that the new round is not to be started by controlling the special winning opening 2005 to the open state (the second open in the same round, etc.) (step S2418), or the valid state flag If it is determined that it is not the timing to set the key (if it is not the start of the 15th round) (step S2420), the big winning prize port 2005 in the closed state is controlled to the open state (step S2422), step S2428 Migrate to As a result, the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, etc. can execute effects according to the type of the big hit instructed by the big hit round start command and the big hit round end command and the current number of rounds.

  It should be noted that the valid state flag is set to the valid state (a state in which the game ball B is received in the second receiving port 2008 and the state is to be controlled to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state ends) It is a flag to indicate. In the 15th round of the 1st to 15th rounds of opening the big winning opening 2005, the gaming ball B accepted by the big winning opening 2005 in the second receiving opening and closing process (step S2403) to be described later Alternatively, the game ball B can be received by the second receiving port 2008 by driving control of the distribution piece 2415 distributed to any of the second receiving port 2008, and the game ball B can be set in the valid state.

  Further, if it is determined in the process of step S2428 that gaming ball B is received in the special winning opening 2005, as shown in FIG. 90, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is a peripheral control board A special winning a prize entry command is set as a command to be sent to 1510 (step S2429), and this processing is ended. Thereby, when the special winning opening entry ball command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 side, the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker and the like according to the acceptance of the gaming ball B to the special winning opening 2005 Can be performed by

  If it is determined in the process of step S2417 that it is not time to open the special winning opening 2005, as shown in FIG. 90, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 receives the command. When all the round numbers have been completed by repeating the open state and the closed state of the winning opening 2005 (step S2423), the big hit execution flag is reset (step S2424). Then, if it is determined that the second reception port passing flag described later is set (step S2425), the high probability flag is set (step S2426), and the time saving flag is set and the counter value of the time saving number counter When an initial value (for example, 100 times) is set as the number of continuation times of the time saving state (step S2427), this process is ended. If it is determined that the second reception passage flag is not set (step S2425), the high probability flag is not set, and the time saving flag is set and the count value of the time saving counter is short When an initial value (for example, 100 times) is set as the number of times of continuation (step S2427), this process ends. Thus, when it is determined that the second receiving passage passing flag is set (the game ball B is received in the second receiving passage 2008 during the 15th round valid state), the high probability flag And the short time flag is set, and the high probability time short state is controlled, but the second entrance passing flag is not set (the game ball B is not accepted in the second entrance 2008 during the effective state in the 15th round) If it is determined that the flag is determined, only the short time flag is set to control to the low probability time short state.

  FIG. 91 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second receiving opening and closing process (step S2403).

  If it is determined that the second receiving port 2008 is in the open state (the state where the game ball B is distributed to the second receiving port 2008 side by the distributing piece 2415) in the process of step S2431, as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 follows the operation schedule of the distribution piece 2415 for a predetermined time from the open state of the second receiving port 2008 (for example, 10 seconds when open for a long time) , When 0.2 seconds when opening for a short time has elapsed (step S 2432), or when the current round (15th round) is ended by controlling the big winning opening 2005 closed (step S 2432) S2433), the second receiving port 2008 in the open state is in the closed state (the game ball B swings to the first receiving port 2007 side by the distribution piece 2415) Controlling the state) eclipsed (step S2434).

  Further, if it is determined in the process of step S2431 that the second receiving port 2008 is in the closed state, as shown in FIG. 91, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines the distribution piece. When it is time to put the second receiving port 2008 in the open state according to the operation schedule of 2415 (step S2435), the second receiving port 2008 in the closed state is controlled to the open state (step S2436).

  Next, in step S2437, if it is determined that the game ball B is received in the second receiving port 2008 in the open state, as shown in FIG. 91, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is It is determined whether the gaming ball B is accepted at the second receiving port 2008 during the valid state in the 15th round while the valid state flag is set (step S2438). Then, if it is determined that the game ball B is received in the second receiving port 2008 during the 15th round active state (step S2438), the second reception is received during the 15th round active state. When the second receiving port passing flag indicating that the game ball B is received at the entrance 2008 is not set (step S2439), the second receiving port passing flag is set (step S2440), and the peripheral control board 1510 is displayed. When the second reception port passing command is set as the command to be transmitted (step S2441), this processing ends. As described above, as long as the game ball B is not received in the second receiving port 2008 during the 15th round valid state, the second receiving port passing flag is not set, and the high probability flag is set in step S2426. Is not set, so there is no control to the high probability state after the end of the jackpot gaming state. In addition, when the second reception passage passing command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 side, the effect display device 1600, the lamp, the LED, the speaker and the like according to the reception of the game ball B to the second reception port 2008. Can be performed by

  FIG. 92 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the ordinary symbol and ordinary electric product control process (step S116).

  Now, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2506 is in the on state in the process of step S2801 and it is determined that the game ball B has passed to the gate portion 2003, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs gate part passing processing such as acquiring an ordinary random number of an ordinary symbol from the random number counter and storing it in the ordinary symbol hold storage area of the RAM as the processing of step S2802. Run.

  Then, in the ordinary symbol and ordinary electric accessory control process, one of the following five process operations is selectively executed according to the ordinary symbol process flag.

1. The ordinary random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU is read, and based on the read ordinary random number, the normal symbol normal processing is performed in which the lottery process or the like is performed for the display mode at the time of stopping the fluctuation control of the ordinary symbol (step S2803)
2. Normal symbol fluctuation time determination processing in which lottery processing etc. for the fluctuation pattern (variation time) of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed based on the common pattern fluctuation random number (step S2804)
3. Normal symbol variation processing to wait until the variation display of the above normal symbol on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped (step S2805)
4. The pattern of the normal symbol at the time of the fluctuation control stop determined based on the result of the lottery process about the display pattern at the time of the fluctuation control stop of the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 Normal symbol stop processing to stop variable display of symbols (step S2806)
5. When the result of the lottery process about the mode at the time of change control stop of the normal symbol becomes the mode which suggests “per common figure”, the second starting opening door 2411 is rotated and the game to the second starting opening 2004 The ordinary electric part opening process which executes the process which controls the acceptance of the ball B (step S2807)

  The normal symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the normal symbol normal processing (step S2803) should be performed in the process of step S1 described above (see FIG. 173).

  FIG. 93 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the gate part passing process (step S2802).

  Now, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2506 is in the on state in the process of step S2801 and it is determined that the game ball B has passed to the gate unit 2003, as shown in FIG. 93, The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires the ordinary random number and the common drawing fluctuation random number from the random number counter as the process of step S2811.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 acquires the counter value by the ordinary suspension number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU, and based on this counter value, the number of suspension of normal symbols is the maximum value "4" It is determined whether or not (step S2812). If it is determined in the process of step S2812 that the number of reserved normal symbols is not the maximum value, the following steps S2813 to S2814 are performed in order to newly put the variable symbol display control of the normal symbols on hold status. It will process. That is, first, as the process of the step S2813, the above-mentioned normally reserved number counter is counted up (one added). Next, as the process of step S2814, each random number obtained in step S2811 is stored in the normal symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the normal hold number counter among the storage areas of the RAM of the main control MPU .

  However, if it is determined in the process of step S2812 that the number of reserved normal symbols is the maximum value, variable display control of the normal symbols is not newly suspended. That is, by not executing the processing of step S2813 to step S2814, the variable display control of the normal symbol is not newly put on hold.

  FIG. 94 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the normal symbol normal processing (step S2803).

  When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol normal processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 94, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs the processing in step S2821. Based on the counter value by the normal holding number counter, it is determined whether or not there is fluctuation display control of the normal symbol in the holding state. As a result, if it is determined that there is a variation display control of the normal symbol in the state of suspension, then, as the processing of step S2822, the ordinary stored in the normal symbol suspension storage area of the main control MPU The random number stored in the first storage area of the random numbers (for example, ordinary random number, common drawing random number) related to the display mode of the symbol is read out from the same RAM. Then, next, as the processing of steps S2823 and S2824, while counting down the above-mentioned normal number-of-holds counter, at the time of the fluctuation display stop of the above-mentioned normal symbol stored in each storage area of the ordinary storage area of RAM of the main control MPU The shift operation is performed in a first-in first-out mode for random numbers (normal random numbers, common drawing random numbers) related to the display mode in.

  Specifically, the normal symbol storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4, and the random number extracted according to the passage of the game ball B to the gate unit 2003 is from the first (first) area Store in order. Then, when the game ball B passes through the gate unit 2003 when the random number is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the random number extracted to the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area Is stored, and when the variable display start condition based on the random number stored in the first storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage The various random numbers stored in the area are moved to the (N-1) -th (N = 2 to 4) -th storage area. As a result, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the normal symbol occurs is stored so as to be identifiable, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the suspension occurring first). .

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines that the current game state is a short time state (a low probability time short status, a high probability short time status) (step S2826), a time-saving chart per common drawing determination table (not shown) ) Is selected (step S2826), and if the current gaming state is the non-short time state (low probability non-short time state) (step S2825), the non-short time common drawing hit determination table (not shown) is selected (step S28) S2827), the selected common drawing determination table and the ordinary random number read out at step S2822 of the ordinary symbol normal processing are compared (step S2828).

  It should be noted that the determination table for the common drawing is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU, and the common determination table for the common time during the short time to be used when the gaming state is short (low probability time short status, high probability time short status), The game has a non-time-shorting common drawing determination table used when the gaming state is non-time-short (a low probability non-time-short state). Then, in the common time-per-diagram determination table referred to for comparison with the normal random number, the 251 common random numbers correspond to the common-per-diagram determination value indicating that all the common random numbers were selected per common diagram, The above-mentioned ordinary random numbers are associated with each other so as not to be matched with the deviation judgment value which is a deviation. As described above, when the game ball B passes to the gate unit 2003 in the time saving mode, the player always wins the game, and the second start opening door 2411 rotates to the second start opening 2004. It is possible to control the reception of the game ball B.

  In addition, in the non-short time common drawing determination table referred to for comparison with the normal random numbers, it is possible that all 251 kinds of the normal random numbers coincide with the common drawing determination value indicating that the common drawing is won. Instead, the above-mentioned ordinary random numbers are respectively associated with each other so as to coincide with the deviation judgment value. As described above, in the short time, even if there is the passage of the game ball B to the gate section 2003, the second starting opening door 2411 is rotated because the win is not made per winning. There is no possibility to control the reception of the game ball B to the second start port 2004.

  When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines that the selected common drawing is the common drawing as a result of comparison between the selected common drawing determination table and the ordinary random number read in step S2822 of the normal symbol normal processing (step S2829) ), After setting the flag per common drawing showing that the fluctuation is won per common drawing (step S2830), per common drawing as a mode (stop symbol of normal design) at the time of change control stop of the normal symbol If the symbol is determined (step S 2831), while the result of comparison between the selected common drawing determination table and the normal random number read out in step S 2822 of the normal symbol normal processing, it is determined that it is off, the fluctuation of the normal symbol A common figure as a mode (a stop symbol of a normal symbol) at the time of control stop determines a shift symbol (step S2832). Then, when the above-mentioned normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the above-mentioned normal symbol variation time determination processing (step S2804), this processing is ended.

  In this example, in the control of the time saving state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 251/251, and the lottery result of the normal symbol always becomes a hit, and the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol is extreme. Is shortened to a predetermined short time (for example, 0.3 seconds). And when the lottery result of the above-mentioned normal design becomes a hit, it controls with the opening and closing pattern which closes the above-mentioned 2nd starting opening 2004 as an open state for a very long predetermined time (for example, 5.5 seconds) . That is, during the control of the time saving state, the probability of the lottery result of the normal symbol being hit is extremely high, and the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol is constant and short. The game ball B is significantly easier to win in the second starting port 2004 because of the longer time of the game, etc., and it is more efficient to aim the second starting port 2004 than the first starting port 2002 more efficiently. You can win B. In the control of the non-short time state, the winning probability of the above normal symbol is set to 0/251, and the lottery result of the above normal symbol does not always hit, and it is assumed that the second starting port 2004 is targeted. Also, the game ball B can not be won in the second start port 2004.

  As described above, during the control of the non-short time state, even if the second start port 2004 is aimed at, the game ball B can not be won in the second start port 2004, so the first start port 2002 In order to win the game ball B, the game ball B must be fired (so-called "left-handed") aiming at the left side of the center character 2500. Further, in the game area 5a on the left side of the center character 2500, a plurality of obstacle nails N are implanted on the front face of the game panel 1100 with a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game ball B is the obstacle nail By abutting on N, the game ball B is given various motions to flow downward. For this reason, even if the game ball B is hit on the left side of the center role 2500 aiming at the first start opening 2002, it is not limited to winning in the first start opening 2002, but winning in the first start opening 2002. The game ball B that has not been played is discharged to the outside from an out port 1008 provided at the lower end in the left-right direction of the game area 5a.

  On the other hand, during control of the time saving state, it is more efficient to aim the game ball B more effectively when aiming at the second starting opening 2004 than the first starting opening 2002, so the second starting opening 2004 is played In order for the ball B to win, the game ball B must be fired (so-called "right-handed") by aiming at the right side of the center character 2500. In addition, when the second start port 2004 is opened due to the structure of the game board 5, the game machine B is hit on the right side of the center role 2500 aiming at the second start port 2004. The game ball B which has passed is made to win the second start port 2004 with a very high probability. For this reason, during the control of the time saving state, the game ball B struck into the right side of the center combination 2500 is hardly wasted (discharged to the outside from the out port 1008), and the control of the non-time saving state As compared with the first starting opening 2002 in the middle, the gaming ball B comes to be awarded to the second starting opening 2004 extremely efficiently.

  Further, during the control of the time saving state, in addition to the structure of the game board 5, when passing through the gate part 2003, the probability that the lottery result of the normal symbol will hit is extremely high, and the fluctuation display of the normal symbol Since the time required for control is constant and short, and the time of the open state of the second start port 2004 is long, etc., the game ball B is likely to be won in the second start port 2004, and further to the second start port 2004. When the game ball B wins, the time required for the variable display control of the special symbol is about 1 second, which is extremely short compared to the range of 10 to 120 seconds in the control of the non-time-short state, so a short time The variation display control of the special symbol (the suspension of the variation display control of the special symbol) can be digested. That is, when the control is made to the above time reduction state after the end of the big hit gaming state, hitting the gaming ball B on the right side of the center role 2500 aiming at the second start port 2004 makes a big hit again in a short time. It is possible to control the jackpot gaming state and expect to obtain many game balls B. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the number of gaming balls B to be paid out by the winning of the gaming ball B in the second starting opening 2004 is one, the game for the second starting opening 2004 Even if the ball B is frequently hit, the burden on the game hall side can be reduced while enhancing the interest of the player.

[12. Behavior of pachinko machine at power on]
In the present embodiment, as a function of the pachinko machine 1, a function of changing the setting of the setting value and a function of confirming and displaying the setting value are provided. Specifically, execution of the setting change process of step S37 described above enables setting change of the set value to be performed, and execution of the set value confirmation display process of step S28 described above causes confirmation display of the set value. It is possible to be done. In order to change the setting of the set value, it is necessary to operate the RAM clear switch 1310 f and the setting key switch 1311 a in addition to operating the power switch 630 a when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. When the confirmation display is performed, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, in addition to operating the power switch 630a, it is necessary to operate the setting key switch 1311a without operating the RAM clear switch 1310f.

  First, the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 95 (A) is a time chart showing the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 when initializing the main control built-in RAM when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and FIG. 95 (B) is a power supply of the pachinko machine 1 FIG. 95 (C) is a time chart showing the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 in the case of changing the setting of the setting value at the time, and FIG. 95 (C) is the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 in the case where the confirmation display of the setting value is performed when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. Is a time chart showing

  As shown in FIG. 95, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the main control MPU starts the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. That is, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the main control MPU sets the RAM access permission (step S10), and subsequently performs the 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. As described above, the wait timer process is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the power failure notification voltage and becomes stable after the power is turned on, and in the present embodiment, the waiting time (wait timer) is 200 milliseconds (ms). ) Is set.

  At timing tx after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, subsequent to step S12, the main control MPU determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated (step S14). In the determination of step S14, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated, 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 determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated, it sets the value 0 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16B). Then, following 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 the determination of step S18, the main control MPU 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 key switch using the signal of setting key ON. When it is determined that the setting key 1311a is turned on, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S20A). On the other hand, in the determination of step S18, the main control MPU determines that the main body frame 4 is not open with respect to the outer frame 2 based on the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b, and / or a signal of setting key ON. When it is determined that the setting key switch 1311a is not turned on by the setting key, the value 0 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S20B). That is, at the time of timing tx, it is determined whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated, and it is determined whether or not the opening of the main body frame 4 and the ON operation of the setting key are performed. Information is stored in a general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU as information. Since the period from timing t3 to timing tx is extremely short, a person who presses the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f presses the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f while pressing the pachinko machine. It is necessary to turn on the power of 1. The person who turns on the setting key switch 1311a needs to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1 after turning on the setting key switch 1311a.

  After the operation information is stored at timing tx, subsequent to step S20A or step S20B, the main control MPU 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, 10 seconds (s) is set as a standby time (boot timer) until boot. The peripheral control board 1510 (peripheral control MPU) starts (boots) the system for performing the drawing control of the peripheral control board 1510 before timing ty at which the main control MPU completes the wait processing of the wait time. The initialization process is completed, and various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) can be received.

  At timing ty when the main control MPU completes the wait time standby processing, following step S22, the main control MPU determines whether or not the power failure notification signal is input (step S24). When it is determined that there is no input, it is determined which combination the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG and the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG are (steps S25 to S27). When it is determined in step S25 that the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is the value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the value 1, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is By being satisfied, the setting change processing (step S37) is performed. In the determination of step S26, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has the value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has the value 0, the main control internal RAM is initialized. (Step S38) is performed. Further, in the determination of step S27, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, the predetermined setting value display permission is permitted. When the condition is satisfied, the set value confirmation display process (step S28) is performed. That is, at the time of timing tx, it is determined whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated, and it is determined whether or not the opening of the main body frame 4 and the ON operation of the setting key are performed. The information is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU, but the operation information is stored until the timing ty, which is the time when the main control MPU completes wait time waiting processing, arrives thereafter. It is supposed to be maintained. Then, at timing ty, based on the storage of the operation information, the main control built-in RAM is initialized (step S38), the setting change process (step S37) is performed, or the setting value confirmation display process (step It is decided to decide whether to carry out S28).

  As shown in FIG. 95 (A), in the case of initializing the main control built-in RAM, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3. While the setting key switch 1311a does not have to be turned on. As described above, when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated at timing tx, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information, and the setting key switch 1311 a Is not turned on, the value 0 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and the operation information is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU. Then, at the time of timing ty, it is decided to initialize the main control built-in RAM (step S38) based on the storage of the operation information, and from the time of timing ty, the main control built-in RAM is initialized ( Step S38) is to be performed.

  When the main control built-in RAM is to be initialized, the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f needs to be operated at the timing tx, but at the timing ty, the RAM clear switch 1310 f is The pressing operation unit does not have to be operated. That is, after the operation information is stored at the timing tx, the operation information stored at the timing tx is maintained until the timing ty arrives, so the RAM is cleared even before the timing ty arrives. It is possible to change from the state where the pressing operation unit of the switch 1310 f is operated to the state where it is not operated.

  Further, in this example, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information at the timing tx, and the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is reset to the value 0 at the timing ty. However, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG may be reset to the value 0 until the initialization of the main control built-in RAM (step S38) is completed from the timing ty.

  As shown in FIG. 95 (B), when changing the setting of the setting value, the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f operates at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3. It is necessary that the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. As described above, when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated at timing tx, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information, and the setting key switch 1311 a Is turned ON, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and the operation information is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU. Then, at the time of timing ty, it is decided to perform the setting change process (step S37) based on the storage of the operation information, and the setting change process (step S37) is performed from the time of timing ty. . In addition, after the setting change process (step S37) is started at timing ty, the setting change process (step S37) is performed when the setting key switch 1311a is turned on and then turned off. It is supposed to be completed (timing t4).

  When changing the setting of the setting value, the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f needs to be operated at time tx, and the setting key switch 1311 a needs to be ON. Although at the time of timing ty, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f does not have to be operated, and similarly, the setting key switch 1311 a does not have to be turned ON. That is, after the operation information is stored at the timing tx, the operation information stored at the timing tx is maintained until the timing ty arrives, so the RAM is cleared even before the timing ty arrives. It is possible to change from the state where the pressing operation unit of the switch 1310 f is operated to the state where it is not operated, and in the same way, from the state where the setting key switch 1311 a is turned ON, to the state where the OFF key is operated. It is possible to However, if the setting key switch 1311a is turned on before the timing ty comes, the setting change process (step S37) is started at the timing ty. It is necessary to change the setting key switch 1311a from the ON state to the OFF state, and to change the setting key switch 1311a from the ON state to the OFF state. This is because the main control MPU determines whether or not there is an OFF operation of the setting key in the determination in step S222 of the setting change processing, but in this determination, the state where the setting key switch 1311a is ON. Therefore, when the OFF operation is performed, the OFF signal is input from the setting key switch 1311a.

  Further, in this example, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information at the timing tx, and the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is reset to the value 0 at the timing ty. However, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is reset to the value 0 from the timing ty until the completion of the initialization of the main control built-in RAM (step S38) after the setting change process (step S37). As long as it is Further, in this example, at timing tx, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and at timing t4 when the setting change process (step S37) is completed, the setting key Although the ON flag CS-FLG is reset to the value 0, the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the initialization of the main control built-in RAM (step S38) after the setting change process (step S37) from the timing ty. It is sufficient if the value is reset to 0 before the process.

  As shown in FIG. 95 (C), when the confirmation display of the set value is performed, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3. On the other hand, the setting key switch 1311a needs to be turned on. As described above, when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is not operated at the timing tx, the value 0 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information, and the setting key switch 1311 a Is turned ON, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and the operation information is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU. Then, at the time of timing ty, it is determined that the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is to be performed based on the storage of the operation information, and the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is performed from the time of timing ty. I will do it. Further, after the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is started at timing ty, the setting value confirmation display process ((when the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON) is turned OFF. Step S28) is to be completed (timing t4).

  In addition, when the confirmation display of the set value is performed, the setting key switch 1311a needs to be turned on at time tx, but the setting key switch 1311a is turned on at time ty. There is no need. That is, after the operation information is stored at the timing tx, the operation information stored at the timing tx is maintained until the timing ty arrives. It is possible to change from the state in which the switch 1311a is turned on to the state in which the switch 1311a is turned off. However, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned on before the timing ty comes, the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is started at the timing ty. After that, it is necessary to make the setting key switch 1311a be turned OFF again from the state in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON, and to turn the setting key switch 1311a turned ON in the state turned OFF. This is because the main control MPU determines whether or not there is an OFF operation of the setting key in the determination of step S358 of the setting value confirmation display process, but in this determination, the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON. This is because the OFF signal is input from the setting key switch 1311 a when the OFF state is set from the ON state.

  Further, in this example, at timing tx, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and at timing t4 at which the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is completed, Although the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is reset to the value 0, the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is between the timing ty and the timing t4 when the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is completed. What is necessary is to reset to the value 0.

  Further, in this example, as described in step S18 of the main control side power-on process, it is assumed that the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON while the main body frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2. In the conditions, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and in FIGS. 95 (B) and (C), the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2. It is premised that the situation is continuing. In this respect, the main frame 4 is not open to the outer frame 2 until the timing tx arrives, or the main frame 4 is against the outer frame 2 from the timing t3 to the timing tx. In the closed state, even if the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON, the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is restricted not to set the value 1 as the second operation information (as the value 0 is set). There is. This is illegally set or changed illegally under the situation where the main unit frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2 (under a situation where the administrator of the game hall is not easily noticed) within the business hours of the game hall, etc. This is to prevent confirmation. On the other hand, in the present example, the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 as a condition for setting the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S14 of the main control side power-on process. The main frame 4 is not opened to the outer frame 2 until the timing tx arrives, or in the outer frame 2 from the timing t3 to the timing tx. On the other hand, even when the main body frame 4 is closed, when it is determined that the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG. According to this, even if some abnormality or malfunction occurs in the main body frame open switch 4b and it becomes impossible to recognize whether or not the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2, the RAM is cleared. By setting the value 1 to the notification flag RCL-FLG, the initialization (step S38) of the main control built-in RAM can be prevented from becoming unexecutable. And, even if any abnormality or trouble occurs in the main body frame opening switch 4b, it is possible to prevent the trouble in the game start itself from occurring.

  In this embodiment, at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information and the setting key ON flag as the second operation information The values of CS-FLG are set, and their operation information is stored in a general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU. Then, after the operation information is stored at the timing tx, the operation information stored at the timing tx is maintained until the timing ty arrives, and at the time of the timing ty, the operation information is stored. It is determined based on the initialization of the main control built-in RAM (step S38), the setting change process (step S37), or the setting value confirmation display process (step S28), and the determined process To do. That is, even when the operation mode of the RAM clear switch 1310 f and the operation mode of the setting key switch 1311 a are changed until the timing ty comes after the operation information is stored at the timing tx, The operation information stored at timing tx is maintained without being changed. As a result, after the operation information is stored at timing tx after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the hole administrator mistakenly operates the operation mode of the RAM clear switch 1310f and the operation mode of the setting key switch 1311a. By maintaining the operation information stored at timing tx so as not to change even when changed, it is not necessary to newly turn the power of pachinko machine 1 on again, and the power of pachinko machine 1 is turned on. Later, processing intended by the hole manager (initialization of the main control built-in RAM (step S38), setting change processing (step S37), and setting value confirmation display processing (step S28) can be promptly executed. .

  In addition, when initializing the main control built-in RAM when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, in addition to operating the power switch 630a, it is necessary to operate the RAM clear switch 1310f without operating the setting key switch 1311a. When changing the setting of the setting value, it is necessary to operate the RAM clear switch 1310 f and the setting key switch 1311 a in addition to operating the power switch 630 a, and when performing the confirmation display of the setting value, Besides operating the power switch 630a, it is necessary to operate the setting key switch 1311a without operating the RAM clear switch 1310f. Then, at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information, and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information. The operation information is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU, and at the time of timing ty, the hole manager can be determined depending on which combination of the operation information is. It is arranged to execute the processing intended by (initializing the main control built-in RAM (step S38), setting change processing (step S37), and setting value confirmation display processing (step S28). For example, when initializing the main control built-in RAM, when changing the setting of the set value, or when the operation unit is provided corresponding to each of the confirmation display of the set value, other than the power switch 630 a In addition to the power switch 630a, the RAM clear switch 1310f and the setting key switch can be provided by changing the processing to be executed after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on depending on the combination of operation information. Two operation units 1311 a may be provided, and the number of parts required for the operation units can be saved.

  Further, in this example, as described in step S18 of the main control side power-on process, it is assumed that the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON while the main body frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2. Under the conditions, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and as shown in FIGS. 95 (B) and (C), for the period from the timing tx to the timing ty, The set state of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is held as the second operation information, so that the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2 without any problem. That is, in the period from the timing tx to the timing ty, the opening and closing of the main body frame 4 can be repeated many times with respect to the outer frame 2. On the other hand, after the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information at the timing tx, the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 is in the period until the timing ty arrives. When it is closed, the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information set at timing tx is reset, and at timing ty, the setting change processing (step S37) and the setting value confirmation display processing The setting change process (step S37) is performed at the timing ty without stopping the process (step S28) or resetting the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information set at the timing tx. Alternatively, it may not be determined that the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is performed. That is, even when main frame 4 is open with respect to outer frame 2 at timing tx, main frame 4 is closed with respect to outer frame 2 within the period until timing ty arrives. May be limited so that the setting change of the setting value or the confirmation display of the setting value can not be performed. According to this, as described above, under the situation where the main body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2 within the business hours of the game hall etc. (under the situation where the administrator of the game hall is not easily noticed) It is possible to prevent the setting being checked incorrectly.

  Further, in the present example, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set as the first operation information on condition that the RAM clear switch 1310 f is temporarily operated even at step S 14 of the main control side power-on process. Although the value 1 is set, the condition may be that the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated for a predetermined time (for example, 2 to 3 seconds), that is, the RAM clear switch 1310 f is pressed for a long time. Similarly, at step S18 on the main control side power-on process, the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is 1 as the second operation information on condition that the setting key switch 1311a is temporarily turned ON even temporarily. However, the setting key switch 1311a may be turned on for a predetermined time (for example, 2 to 3 seconds). As a result, even when the hall administrator accidentally touches the RAM clear switch 1310 f or the setting key switch 1311 a temporarily when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, processing unintended by the hall administrator is executed. Can be prevented.

  In addition, although it will be described in detail later, in the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, the monitoring of the fraudulent activity using the magnetic sensor 3003 and the fraud monitoring using the vibration sensor 2005 are limited. . That is, in the period from the timing t3 to the timing ty, the hole manager changes the state in which the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated from the state in which it is not operated or turns off the state in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. It is possible to set the state of being operated, but it is limited so as not to monitor fraudulent activity using the magnetic sensor 3003 and fraudulent monitoring using the vibration sensor 2005. As a result, when operating the RAM clear switch 1310 f or the setting key switch 1311 a, even if the hole administrator has something that can generate magnetism or has added vibration, it is detected as a fraudulent act. It is possible to prevent the inhibition of regular work.

12-1. Modification of behavior of pachinko machine at power on]
In the above embodiment, when initializing the main control built-in RAM, when changing the setting of the set value, and when displaying the confirmation of the set value, whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated. The timing of determination is the same as the timing of determining whether the main frame 4 has been opened and the setting key has been turned ON, but whether the main frame 4 has been opened and the setting key has been turned on The timing at which the determination is made may be different from the timing at which it is determined whether the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated. A modification of the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on will be described with reference to FIGS. 96 and 97. FIG. FIG. 96 is a flowchart showing a modification of the main control side power-on process. Further, FIG. 97 (A) is a time chart showing a modified example of the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 in the case of initializing the main control built-in RAM when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and FIG. 97 (B) is a pachinko machine. FIG. 97 (C) is a time chart showing a modified example of the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 in the case of changing the setting of the setting value when the power of the machine 1 is turned on, and FIG. It is a time chart which shows the modification of the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 in the case of performing.

  As shown in FIG. 97, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the main control MPU starts the main control side power on process shown in FIG. That is, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the main control MPU sets the RAM access permission (step S10), and subsequently performs the 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. As described above, the wait timer process is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the power failure notification voltage and becomes stable after the power is turned on, and in the present embodiment, the waiting time (wait timer) is 200 milliseconds (ms). ) Is set.

  At timing tx after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, subsequent to step S12, the main control MPU determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated (step S14). In the determination of step S14, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated, 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 determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated, it sets the value 0 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16B). That is, at the time of timing tx, it is determined whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated, and the determination result is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU as first operation information. Since the period from timing t3 to timing tx is extremely short, a person who presses the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f presses the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f while pressing the pachinko machine. It is necessary to turn on the power of 1.

  After the first operation information is stored at timing tx, the main control MPU performs wait time standby processing (step S22), following step S16A or step S16B. 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, 10 seconds (s) is set as a standby time (boot timer) until boot. The peripheral control board 1510 (peripheral control MPU) starts (boots) the system for performing the drawing control of the peripheral control board 1510 before timing ty at which the main control MPU completes the wait processing of the wait time. The initialization process is completed, and various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) can be received.

  At timing ty1 when the main control MPU completes the wait time standby process, following step S22, the main control MPU determines whether or not the power failure advance notification signal is input (step S24). If it is determined that there is no input, it is determined whether there is an opening operation of the main body frame 4 and an ON operation of the setting key (step S18). In the determination of step S18, the main control MPU 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 key switch using the signal of setting key ON. When it is determined that the setting key 1311a is turned on, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S20A). On the other hand, in the determination of step S18, the main control MPU determines that the main body frame 4 is not open with respect to the outer frame 2 based on the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b, and / or a signal of setting key ON. When it is determined that the setting key switch 1311a is not turned on by the setting key, the value 0 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S20B). That is, at the time of timing ty1, it is determined whether there is an opening operation of the main body frame 4 and an ON operation of the setting key, and the determination result is stored in the general purpose storage element (general purpose register) of the main control MPU as the second operation information. doing. As described above, in the modified example, the first operation information is stored at timing tx before the main control MPU starts the wait time waiting process, while the timing at timing ty1 when the main control MPU completes the wait time waiting process And the second operation information is stored. The setting key switch 1311 a is set to at least 10 seconds (s) which is a standby time (boot timer) until boot in the wait time standby process (step S22) as a period from the timing t3 to the timing ty1. The person who turns ON may turn ON the setting key switch 1311a before turning on the pachinko machine 1 at timing t3, but after turning on the pachinko machine 1 at timing t3, the main The setting key switch 1311a may be turned on until the timing ty1 at which the control MPU completes the wait time waiting process comes.

  At timing ty2 after the second operation information is stored at timing ty1, subsequent to step S20A or step S20B, the main control MPU sets the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG, and the setting key ON flag CS. It is determined which combination is the value of FLG (steps S25 to S27). When it is determined in step S25 that the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is the value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the value 1, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is By being satisfied, the setting change processing (step S37) is performed. In the determination of step S26, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has the value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has the value 0, the main control internal RAM is initialized. (Step S38) is performed. Further, in the determination of step S27, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, the predetermined setting value display permission is permitted. When the condition is satisfied, the set value confirmation display process (step S28) is performed. That is, at the time of timing tx, it is determined whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated, and the determination result is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU as first operation information. Thereafter, the storage of the first operation information is maintained until the timing ty2, which is the time when the main control MPU completes the wait time waiting process, arrives. On the other hand, at the time of timing ty1, it is determined whether there is an opening operation of the main body frame 4 and an ON operation of the setting key, and the determination result is stored in the general purpose storage element (general purpose register) of the main control MPU as the second operation information. However, the storage of the second operation information is maintained until the timing ty2, which is the time when the main control MPU completes the wait time waiting process, comes thereafter. Then, at timing ty2, based on the storage of the operation information, the main control internal RAM is initialized (step S38) or the setting change process (step S37) is performed, or the setting value confirmation display process ( It is decided to decide whether to carry out step S28).

  As shown in FIG. 97 (A), when initializing the main control built-in RAM, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3. Needs to be manipulated. As described above, when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated at timing tx, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information, and the first operation is performed. Information is stored in a general purpose storage element (general purpose register) of the main control MPU. On the other hand, when initializing the main control built-in RAM, it is necessary that the setting key switch 1311a is not turned ON at timing ty1 when the main control MPU completes wait time waiting processing after timing tx. As described above, when the setting key switch 1311a is not turned ON at the timing ty1, the value 0 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and the second operation information is mainly output. It is stored in a general purpose memory element (general purpose register) of the control MPU. Then, at the time of timing ty2, it is decided to initialize the main control built-in RAM (step S38) based on the storage of the operation information, and from the time of timing ty2, the initialization of the main control built-in RAM ( Step S38) is to be performed.

  In addition, when initializing the main control built-in RAM, it is necessary to operate the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f at the time of timing tx, but at the time of timing ty1 or timing ty2, the RAM is cleared. There is no need for the pressing operation unit of the switch 1310 f to be operated. That is, after the first operation information is stored at the timing tx, the first operation information stored at the timing tx is maintained until the timing ty2 arrives, and therefore before the timing ty2 arrives. Also, it is possible to change from the state where the pressing part of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated to the state where it is not operated.

  In addition, when initializing the main control built-in RAM, it is necessary that the setting key switch 1311a is not turned ON at timing ty1, but at timing tx and timing ty2, the setting key switch 1311a It may be turned ON. That is, after the second operation information is stored at the timing ty1, the second operation information stored at the timing ty1 is maintained until the timing ty2 comes, but at the time of the timing ty1, the second operation is performed. Since information is stored, it is possible to freely change the state in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on and the state in which the setting key switch 1311 is turned off in the period from timing tx to timing ty1. There is.

  Further, in this example, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information at the timing tx, and the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is reset to the value 0 at the timing ty2. However, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG may be reset to the value 0 during the period from the timing ty 2 to the completion of the initialization of the main control internal RAM (step S38).

  As shown in FIG. 97 (B), when changing the setting of the setting value, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f operates at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3. It needs to be done. As described above, when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated at timing tx, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information, and the first operation is performed. Information is stored in a general purpose storage element (general purpose register) of the main control MPU. On the other hand, in the case of changing the setting of the setting value, the setting key switch 1311a needs to be turned ON at timing ty1 when the main control MPU completes the wait time waiting process after timing tx. Thus, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON at the timing ty1, the value 1 is set in the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and the second operation information is It is stored in a general purpose memory element (general purpose register) of the control MPU. Then, at the time of timing ty2, it is determined that the setting change process (step S37) is to be performed based on the storage of the operation information, and the setting change process (step S37) is performed from the time of timing ty2. . In addition, after the setting change process (step S37) is started at timing ty2, the setting change process (step S37) is performed when the setting key switch 1311a is turned on and then turned off. It is supposed to be completed (timing t4).

  When changing the setting of the set value, the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f needs to be operated at the timing tx, but the RAM clear switch 1310 f at the timing ty 1 or the timing ty 2 There is no need to operate the pressing operation unit of. That is, after the first operation information is stored at the timing tx, the first operation information stored at the timing tx is maintained until the timing ty2 arrives, and therefore before the timing ty2 arrives. Also, it is possible to change from the state where the pressing part of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated to the state where it is not operated.

  In addition, when changing the setting of the setting value, the setting key switch 1311a needs to be turned ON at timing ty1, but the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON at timing tx and timing ty2. It does not have to be done. That is, after the second operation information is stored at the timing ty1, the second operation information stored at the timing ty1 is maintained until the timing ty2 comes, but at the time of the timing ty1, the second operation is performed. Since information is stored, it is possible to freely change the state in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on and the state in which the setting key switch 1311 is turned off in the period from timing tx to timing ty1. There is.

  Further, in this example, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information at the timing tx, and the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is reset to the value 0 at the timing ty2. However, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG may be reset to the value 0 during the period from the timing ty 2 to the completion of the initialization of the main control built-in RAM (step S38). Further, in this example, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information at the timing ty1 and the setting key is set at the timing t4 when the setting change process (step S37) is completed. Although the ON flag CS-FLG is reset to the value 0, the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the initialization of the main control built-in RAM (step S38) after the setting change process (step S37) from timing ty2. It is sufficient if the value is reset to 0 before the process.

  As shown in FIG. 97 (C), when the confirmation display of the set value is performed, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3. It should not have been. Thus, when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is not operated at the time of the timing tx, the value 0 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG as the first operation information, and the first operation Information is stored in a general purpose storage element (general purpose register) of the main control MPU. On the other hand, when the confirmation display of the setting value is performed, the setting key switch 1311a needs to be turned ON at timing ty1 when the main control MPU completes the wait time waiting processing after timing tx. Thus, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON at the timing ty1, the value 1 is set in the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and the second operation information is It is stored in a general purpose memory element (general purpose register) of the control MPU. Then, at the time of timing ty2, it is decided to perform the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) based on the storage of the operation information, and the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is performed from the time of timing ty2. I will do it. After the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is started at timing ty2, the setting value confirmation display process ((when the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON) is turned OFF. Step S28) is to be completed (timing t4).

  In addition, when the confirmation display of the setting value is performed, the setting key switch 1311a needs to be turned ON at the time of timing ty1, but the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON at the time of timing tx or timing ty2. It does not have to be done. That is, after the second operation information is stored at the timing ty1, the second operation information stored at the timing ty1 is maintained until the timing ty2 comes, but at the time of the timing ty1, the second operation is performed. Since information is stored, it is possible to freely change the state in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on and the state in which the setting key switch 1311 is turned off in the period from timing tx to timing ty1. There is.

  Further, in this example, at timing ty1, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and at timing t4 when the setting value confirmation display process (step S28) is completed, Although the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is reset to the value 0, the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value 0 during the period from the timing ty2 to the completion of the setting value confirmation display process (step S28). What is necessary is to reset to.

  Further, in this example, as described in step S18 of the main control side power-on process, it is assumed that the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON while the main body frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2. In the conditions, the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG as the second operation information, and in FIGS. 97 (B) and (C), the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2. It is premised that the situation is continuing. In this respect, the main frame 4 is not opened to the outer frame 2 until the timing ty1 arrives, or the main frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2 from the timing t3 to the timing ty1. In the closed state, even if the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON, the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is restricted not to set the value 1 as the second operation information (as the value 0 is set). There is. This is illegally set or changed illegally under the situation where the main unit frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2 (under a situation where the administrator of the game hall is not easily noticed) within the business hours of the game hall, etc. This is to prevent confirmation. On the other hand, in the present example, the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 as a condition for setting the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S14 of the main control side power-on process. The main frame 4 is not opened to the outer frame 2 until the timing tx arrives, or in the outer frame 2 from the timing t3 to the timing tx. On the other hand, even when the main body frame 4 is closed, when it is determined that the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated, the value 1 is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG. According to this, even if some abnormality or malfunction occurs in the main body frame open switch 4b and it becomes impossible to recognize whether or not the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2, the RAM is cleared. By setting the value 1 to the notification flag RCL-FLG, the initialization (step S38) of the main control built-in RAM can be prevented from becoming unexecutable. And, even if any abnormality or trouble occurs in the main body frame opening switch 4b, it is possible to prevent the trouble in the game start itself from occurring.

  In this embodiment, at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set as the first operation information, and the first operation information is controlled as the main control. The first operation information stored at timing tx is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the MPU until the timing ty2 arrives. Also, at timing ty1 when the main control MPU completes the wait time waiting process after timing tx, the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is set as the second operation information, and the second operation information is used as the main control MPU. The second operation information stored at the timing ty1 is maintained until the timing ty2 arrives until the timing ty2 arrives. Then, at timing ty2, based on the storage of the operation information, the main control internal RAM is initialized (step S38) or the setting change process (step S37) is performed, or the setting value confirmation display process ( It is determined whether or not step S28) is performed, and the determined processing is performed. That is, after the first operation information is stored at the timing tx, the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON and OFF during the period until the timing ty1 at which the second operation information is stored comes. It is possible to freely change the state of Then, at the time of timing ty1, the second operation information is transferred to the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU so as to reflect the operation state of the setting key switch 1311a changed in the period from timing tx to timing ty1. It stores, and at the time of timing ty 2 thereafter, based on the storage of the operation information, whether the initialization of the main control built-in RAM is performed (step S38) or the setting change process (step S37) is performed, or the set value confirmation It is determined whether the display process (step S28) is to be performed, and the determined process is performed. Thereby, when performing setting change of the setting value or confirming display of the setting value, the hole manager erroneously turns on the setting key switch 1311a at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3. Even if you forgot to operate the pachinko machine 1 anew, by changing the setting key switch 1311a to the ON state during the period until the timing ty1 at which the second operation information is stored comes. There is no need to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1, and after the power on of the pachinko machine 1, processing intended by the hall administrator (initialization of the main control built-in RAM (step S38), setting change processing (step S37), setting value confirmation display processing Any one of (step S28) can be performed promptly. When initializing the main control built-in RAM, even if the hole administrator erroneously turns on the setting key switch 1311a at timing t3 after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, By changing the setting key switch 1311a to the state where the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF during the period until the timing ty1 at which the second operation information is stored comes, there is no need to change the setting of the setting value again, and the pachinko machine 1 Execute the processing intended by the hole manager after power-on (initialization of the main control built-in RAM (step S38), setting change processing (step S37), or setting value confirmation display processing (step S28)) promptly. be able to.

  As described above, after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at the timing t3, the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at the timing t3 for a period until the timing ty1 at which the second operation information is stored comes. It is configured to be longer than the time until the timing tx at which the first operation information is stored comes. As a result, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, it is not necessary to simultaneously operate the RAM clear switch 1310 f and the setting key switch 1311 a, and the setting key switch 1311 a can be turned on after the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated. This enables the hole manager to easily operate the plurality of operation units.

  When the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, if it is necessary to initialize the main control built-in RAM or change the setting of the setting value, it is necessary to operate the RAM clear switch 1310 f. However, the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated. The timing is a timing tx immediately after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and is not a timing ty1 when the main control MPU completes the wait time waiting process. The RAM clear switch 1310 f is configured as a push-down switch whose operation state is not maintained, and after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the RAM clear switch is performed until timing ty1 comes. Even if it is attempted to continue to operate 1310f, it may be unclear whether or not the timing ty1 has arrived, and the hole administrator may stop the operation of the RAM clear switch 1310f. Therefore, by setting the timing for operating the RAM clear switch 1310 f to the timing tx immediately after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, there is no need to continue operating the RAM clear switch 1310 f for a long period of time. As intended by the user, the initialization (step S38) of the main control built-in RAM and the setting change process (step S37) can be reliably executed.

  Also, as mentioned above. The peripheral control board 1510 (peripheral control MPU) starts (boots) the system for performing the drawing control of the peripheral control board 1510 before timing ty at which the main control MPU completes the wait processing of the wait time. The initialization process is completed, and various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) can be received. When such an initialization process of the peripheral control board 1510 is completed, a command specifying that it is awaiting determination of whether or not the setting key is ON at the timing ty1 is a command specifying the main control board 1310 (main control MPU After the initialization process of the peripheral control board 1510 is completed, the setting key switch 1311 a is output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600 during the period until the timing ty1 arrives. The setting key operable notification is issued to notify that it is possible to change the state to the ON state. As the notification that the setting key can be operated, a voice repeating “setting key can be operated”, a message “setting key can be operated!” Is displayed, and the setting value setting key switch 1311 a of 1 to 6 in the selection operation process is turned on. It is assumed that lamp light emission is performed in a color corresponding to whether or not it is being operated.

  In addition, although it will be described in detail later, in the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, the monitoring of the fraudulent activity using the magnetic sensor 3003 and the fraud monitoring using the vibration sensor 2005 are limited. . That is, in the period from the timing t3 to the timing ty2, the hole manager changes the state in which the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated from the state in which it is not operated or turns off the state in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. It is possible to change from the operating state or the OFF operating state to the ON operating state, but monitoring of fraudulent activity using the magnetic sensor 3003 or using the vibration sensor 2005 Restricts fraud monitoring from being performed. As a result, when operating the RAM clear switch 1310 f or the setting key switch 1311 a, even if the hole administrator has something that can generate magnetism or has added vibration, it is detected as a fraudulent act. It is possible to prevent the inhibition of regular work.

[13. Behavior of pachinko machine in change permission state and confirmation display state]
Next, the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 in a state in which the change permission of the set value and the confirmation display of the set value are performed will be described with reference to FIGS. 98 to 100. FIG. 98 is a time chart showing the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 during the setting change of the set value, and FIGS. 99 and 100 are time charts showing the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 in the confirmation display of the set value. In the state in which the setting change of the setting value and the confirmation display of the setting value are performed, the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 is different compared to the state in which the setting change of the setting value and the confirmation display of the setting value is not performed. It has become a thing. The behavior of the pachinko machine 1 during the confirmation display of the set value is substantially the same as the behavior of the pachinko machine 1 during the setting change of the set value, but when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the RAM clear switch 1310 f Since the pressing operation unit is not operated, it is different in that it holds various information at the time of turning off the power even after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 98, when changing the setting of the set value, first, it is checked whether or not the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. In some cases, it is necessary to shut off the power of the pachinko machine 1 (timing t0). Then, in a state where the pachinko machine 1 is not powered on (a state where the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off), when the main body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2, the outer frame Perform work to open the main body frame 4 for 2 (timing t1), insert the setting key into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a, and turn the setting key cylinder clockwise by 60 degrees The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by pressing the setting key switch 1311a (timing t2). Then, by operating the power switch 630a while operating the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f to turn on the pachinko machine 1 (timing t3), the setting change of the setting value can be performed (change It becomes a permission state). In such a change permitted state, it is possible to change the set value (set values 1 to 6) each time the pressing operation portion of the setting switching button 1311 b is pressed, and thereafter the setting key switch 1311 a is set as a setting key. The setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF by rotating the setting key cylinder counterclockwise 60 degrees and turning it OFF so as to return from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder that has been turned on to the original position (timing t4). That is, for the period from timing t3 to timing t4, the setting value can be changed (the change permission state), and after the timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off, the setting value is set. It will be in a state where it is impossible to change the setting (unchangeable state). The player can play the game by removing the setting key from the setting key cylinder insertion hole of the setting key switch 1311a and closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 (timing t5). State.

  When setting of setting values is changed, the main control MPU starts processing when the main control power is turned on when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, but the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4. The setting change process in step S37 is not completed until (it is not determined that the setting key switch 1311a has been turned off in step S222 of the setting change process), and thereafter in the period from timing t3 to timing t4. In order to prevent the interrupt permission setting in step S52 from being performed, the execution timing of the interrupt permission setting in step S52 is delayed compared to the normal power-on. Then, since the main control timer interrupt processing is not started until the interrupt permission setting in step S52 is performed, the switch input processing in step S104 in the main control timer interrupt processing, the special symbol in step S114 and the special electric role control are performed. The process, the normal symbol in step S116, and the normal motorized product control process, etc. are not executed yet and are in a standby state. That is, for the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, the setting value can be changed (the change permission state). However, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the special winning opening 2005 Etc. When the game ball B enters the various winning openings and the gate unit 2003, the input of the detection signal is not made effective, and the fluctuation display of the special symbol, the fluctuation display of the normal symbol, and the second starting opening A special period of time during which the opening operation of the door 2411, the opening operation of the special winning opening door 2413, and the distribution operation of the distribution piece 2415 are not performed is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 99, when the confirmation display of the currently set setting value is performed, first, it is confirmed whether or not the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. If it is in the state where it is in the state, it is necessary to shut off the power of the pachinko machine 1 (timing t0). Then, in a state where the pachinko machine 1 is not powered on (a state where the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off), when the main body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2, the outer frame Perform work to open the main body frame 4 for 2 (timing t1), insert the setting key into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a, and turn the setting key cylinder clockwise by 60 degrees The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by pressing the setting key switch 1311a (timing t2). Then, by operating the power switch 630a to operate the power of the pachinko machine 1 without operating the press operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f (timing t3), a state where confirmation display of the set value can be performed ( It becomes a confirmation display state). In such a confirmation display state, in the setting display 1310g, the current set value (the set value among the set values 1 to 6 at the time when the set key cylinder of the set key switch 1311a is turned ON) Then, the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON by 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction so that the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder to the original position (timing t4 ), The setting display is switched to the non-display state from the state of displaying the setting value on the display 1310g. That is, for the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, the setting value can be confirmed and displayed (confirmation display state), and after the timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off, the setting value is set. The confirmation display can not be performed (the confirmation can not be made). The player can play the game by removing the setting key from the setting key cylinder insertion hole of the setting key switch 1311a and closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 (timing t5). State.

  In addition, when the confirmation display of the currently set setting value is performed, the main control MPU starts processing when the main control power is turned on when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, but is set at timing t4. Until the key switch 1311a is turned off, the setting value confirmation display process in step S28 is not ended (in step S358 of the setting value confirmation display process, it is not determined that the setting key switch 1311a has been turned OFF). In the period up to the timing t4, the interrupt permission setting in step S52 is not performed, and the execution timing of the interrupt permission setting in step S52 is delayed compared to the normal power-on. Then, since the main control timer interrupt processing is not started until the interrupt permission setting in step S52 is performed, the switch input processing in step S104 in the main control timer interrupt processing, the special symbol in step S114 and the special electric role control are performed. The process, the normal symbol in step S116, and the normal motorized product control process, etc. are not executed yet and are in a standby state. That is, for the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, although it is a state (confirmation display state) in which confirmation display of the set value can be performed, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the special winning opening 2005 Etc. When the game ball B enters the various winning openings and the gate unit 2003, the input of the detection signal is not made effective, and the fluctuation display of the special symbol, the fluctuation display of the normal symbol, and the second starting opening A special period of time during which the opening operation of the door 2411, the opening operation of the special winning opening door 2413, and the distribution operation of the distribution piece 2415 are not performed is performed.

13-1. About special symbol, various entering ball detection, payout device]
As shown in FIG. 98, in the change permission state which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the main control side timer interrupt processing (the special symbol and the special electric symbol processing control processing in step S114) is not started, A state (variation) in which it is not possible to perform variation display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) in the special symbol indicator (first special symbol indicator, second special symbol indicator) of the function display unit 1400 It becomes impossible state A). Then, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (the special symbol and the special motorized product control process of step S114) is started by executing the interrupt permission setting of step S52. , It becomes a state (variable possible state) which can perform change display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of function display unit 1400.

  In addition, after setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, when a big hit game is started at timing t6, when gaming ball B wins in the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, the detection signal is It becomes a state (immutable state B) which can not perform change display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 while making the input effective. As described above, the non-variable state A and the non-variable state B are the same in that it is impossible to perform the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400, but the non-variable state In A, when the game ball B wins in the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, the input of the detection signal is not made effective, while in the non-variable state B, the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening The difference is that the input of the detection signal is made effective when the game ball B has won in the second starting opening 2004.

  In addition, when the power is turned off at timing t0, the variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed, or the variation display of the special symbol is stored as hold At timing t4, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF, the setting change process in step S37 of the main control power-on process is ended, and then in step S38, the specific area of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM Because it clears except for, the information regarding the fluctuation indication of the special design will be lost. For this reason, although it becomes a changeable state after the end of the change permission state which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, it does not restart the fluctuation display of the special symbol interrupted at the time of cutting off the power, In addition, when the power is turned off, the variable display of the special symbol stored as a hold is not performed.

  Also, in the variable state, a fraud related error (for example, a serious error at the time of magnetism detection or vibration detection) occurs in which it is impossible to play a game such as a fluctuation display of a special symbol by performing some fraudulent acts In this case, the peripheral control MPU performs display processing of fraud related error information for notifying that effect on a predetermined display (for example, the effect display device 1600), or a predetermined light emitting device (for example, a plurality of light emission devices). The LED 121a, the plurality of LEDs 213a, etc.) are subjected to the light emission processing of the fraud related error mode for notifying that effect, or the fraud is notified for that to a predetermined sound output device (for example, the lower speaker 153a, etc.) Although incorrect related error output processing is performed to output related error sound, it is a period from timing t3 to timing t4. The change permission state, but is an inability to perform the variable display of the special symbols state (variation disabled state A), it is not carried out the fraud-related error output processing described above. It is assumed that the hall clerk is opening the main frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 and changing the setting of the setting value in the change permission state which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4. This is to emphasize the work efficiency of the hall clerk and to suppress the occurrence of an event that hinders the work rather than the need for the fraud related error output processing intended to suggest to. In addition, as for the point that the fraud related error output process is not performed, all of the display process of the fraud related error information, the light emission process of the fraud related error mode, and the output process of the fraud related error sound described above are not performed. Although it is preferable, at least a part of the fraud related error output process may not be performed in view of suppressing the occurrence of an event that hinders the work of the hall clerk. For example, it may be exemplified that other processing is performed as usual while the output processing of the fraud related error sound that may lower the work efficiency of the worker at high volume is not performed.

  In addition, in the change permission state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (switch input process of step S104) is not started, so the first start port 2002, the second start port 2004 When the game ball B enters the various winning openings such as the special winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007, the second receiving port 2008, etc. and the gate unit 2003, main detection signals from detection sensors corresponding to each are mainly controlled. The MPU does not input, and the detection of the gaming ball B is treated as invalid. It should be noted that the detection itself of the gaming ball B may not be performed by the detection sensor, or may be treated as invalid while inputting the detection signal from the detection sensor. As described above, in the case where the detection of the game ball B is invalidated, for example, even if the game ball B enters the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, the lottery, the symbol variation (the variation of the special symbol) (Displayed) and payout of the game ball B will not be performed either, and thereby, the game ball B will be the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening for any reason during the regular work of changing the setting of the set value Even if the player enters 2004, it is possible to suppress the progression of the game. Similarly, when the detection of the game ball B is invalidated, for example, even if the game ball B enters the large winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007, and the second receiving port 2008, the payout of the game ball B is made. The game ball B will not be performed for any of the high probability state, and thereby the gaming ball B will be displayed for the winning opening 2005, the first entrance 2007, Even if the second entrance 2008 is entered, it is possible to suppress the progression of the game.

  Note that the main control MPU does not input detection signals from detection sensors corresponding to each of the various winning openings and gate portions (gates) in the change permission state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4. At the same time, the detection signal from the detection sensor corresponding to the out port 1008 is not input by the main control MPU, and the detection of the game ball B is treated as invalid. As described above, when the detection of the game ball B discharged from the out port 1008 is invalidated, for example, the measurement by the above-mentioned base monitor 1310 h for the game ball B discharged from the game area 5 a in the change permission state It becomes possible to exclude from the target (target to be added to the out number counter), and the game ball B remaining in the game area 5a due to ball clogging (ball clogging) or the like is detected in the change permission state and the base monitor 1310h It is possible to avoid the situation where it is measured (added to the out number counter).

  On the other hand, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (switch input process of step S104) is started by executing the interrupt permission setting of step S52, and the first starting port 2002 When the game ball B enters the various winning openings such as the second starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the first receiving opening 2007, the second receiving opening 2008, etc. from the detection sensor corresponding to each The main control MPU inputs a detection signal of {circle over (1)} to treat the detection of the gaming ball B as effective. Thus, when the detection of the game ball B is made effective, when the game ball B enters the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, lottery, symbol fluctuation (variation display of special symbol) , It is possible to be paid out of the game ball B. Similarly, when the detection of the game ball B is made effective, when the game ball B enters the large winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007, and the second receiving port 2008, the game ball B is paid out, and the height is high. It is possible to perform the provision of the probability state (in the case where the "effective state" is set as the state when the gaming ball B is received in the second receiving port 2008 as described above).

  In this example, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, that is, from the end of the change permission state, the first starting port 2002, the second starting port 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007 When the game ball B enters the various winning openings such as the second entrance 2008 and the gate unit 2003, the detection of the game ball B is treated as being effective, but at the timing t5 On the other hand, the detection of the game ball B may be treated as effective when the main unit frame 4 is closed or when a predetermined time has elapsed after the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4. This is because it is difficult to operate the handle 182 to fire the game ball B before closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 at timing t5, and it is practically difficult to start the game It is because there is.

  Further, in the present example, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the payout control MPU starts processing when the payout control power is on, and outputs a drive signal to the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580. The game ball B can be paid out from the payout device 580. That is, in the change permission state, which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, it is possible to pay out the gaming ball B from the payout device 580. However, in the change permission state, which is the period from timing t3 to timing t4, as described above, the main control MPU inputs detection signals from detection sensors corresponding to the various winning openings and gate portions (gates). For example, even if the game ball B enters the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, and the big winning opening 2005 in the change permission state, the game ball B is not paid out, for example. .

  When the game ball B enters the various winning openings at the time of turning off the power at timing t0 and the game ball B is paid out from the payout device 580, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f When the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3 while operating the main control board 1310, the operation signal (detection signal) of the RAM clear switch 1310f is input to the payout control board 633, and the payout control internal RAM Since the entire area is cleared, the information on the payout of the game ball B is lost. For this reason, although it becomes possible to pay out the gaming ball B from the payout device 580 after the power-on of the pachinko machine 1 at timing t3, the payout of the gaming ball B which is unpaid at the time the power is shut off. It is designed not to resume.

  As shown in FIG. 99, in the confirmation display state, which is the period from timing t3 to timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (special symbol and special motorized product control process in step S114) as in the change permitted state. To display the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) in the special symbol display (first special symbol display, second special symbol display) of the function display unit 1400. It becomes impossible state (non-variable state A). Then, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (the special symbol and the special motorized product control process of step S114) is started by executing the interrupt permission setting of step S52. , It becomes a state (variable possible state) which can perform change display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of function display unit 1400.

  In addition, after setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, when a big hit game is started at timing t6, when gaming ball B wins in the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, the detection signal is It becomes a state (immutable state B) which can not perform change display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 while making the input effective. As described above, the non-variable state A and the non-variable state B are the same in that it is impossible to perform the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400, but the non-variable state In A, when the game ball B wins in the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, the input of the detection signal is not made effective, while in the non-variable state B, the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening The difference is that the input of the detection signal is made effective when the game ball B has won in the second starting opening 2004.

  In addition, when the power is turned off at timing t0, the variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed, or the variation display of the special symbol is stored as hold If the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3 while operating the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f (if the setting of the setting value is changed), the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4. At this point, the setting change process in step S37 of the main control power-on process is ended, and then, in step S38, the special pattern is changed except for the specific area in the entire area of the main control built-in RAM. While information related to display is lost, the tie is performed without operating the pressing part of the RAM clear switch 1310 f. If the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at time t3 (if confirmation display of the set value is performed), the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, the step S28 of the main control power on process is performed. Although the set value confirmation display process is ended, the variation of the special symbol is not performed since the process of step S38 is executed to clear except the specific area out of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM as in the setting change process of step S37. Information on the display will be retained. For this reason, after the end of the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, the variable display of the special symbol being interrupted at the time of turning off the power is resumed when it becomes the changeable state. In addition, when the power is turned off, the variable display of the special symbol stored as a hold is performed.

  In addition, as described above, in the variable state, it is impossible to play a game such as a variable display of a special symbol by performing some fraudulent acts (eg, severeness at the time of magnetic detection or vibration detection) When an error occurs, the peripheral control MPU performs display processing of fraud related error information to notify that to a predetermined display (for example, effect display device 1600), or a predetermined light emitting device (For example, the plurality of LEDs 121a, the plurality of LEDs 213a, etc.) are subjected to the light emission processing of the fraud related error mode notifying that effect, or for a predetermined sound output device (for example, the lower speaker 153a etc.) Although the fraud related error output process is performed to output the fraud related error sound notifying the effect, from timing t3 to timing t3. In the confirmation display state, which is the period until the same as in the change permitted state, although it is a state where it is not possible to perform variable display of special symbols (impossible state A), the above-mentioned fraud related error output process I do not try to do it. In this confirmation display state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, it is assumed that the hall clerk opens the main body frame 4 to the outer frame 2 and performs the confirmation display of the set value. This is to emphasize the work efficiency of the hall clerk and to suppress the occurrence of an event that hinders the work rather than the need for the fraud related error output processing intended to suggest to. In addition, as for the point that the fraud related error output process is not performed, all of the display process of the fraud related error information, the light emission process of the fraud related error mode, and the output process of the fraud related error sound described above are not performed. Although it is preferable, at least a part of the fraud related error output process may not be performed in view of suppressing the occurrence of an event that hinders the work of the hall clerk. For example, it may be exemplified that other processing is performed as usual while the output processing of the fraud related error sound that may lower the work efficiency of the worker at high volume is not performed. In addition, in order to prevent unauthorized related error output processing, processing that is prohibited according to the difference between events that obstruct the work of the hall clerk and the control performed in the change permission state described above. The type, number, etc. of the may be made different. For example, in the change permission state, when any illegal related error occurs, the entire incorrect related error output process is not performed, while in the confirmation display state, the incorrect related error output when any incorrect related error occurs. Check that only part of the processing is not performed, or in the change permission state, while all the incorrect related error output processes are not performed when any incorrect related error occurs, the confirmation display state In the above, it can be exemplified that part of the fraud related error output process is not performed when any fraud related error occurs.

  Further, in the confirmation display state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (switch input process in step S104) is not started as in the change permitted state, so the first starting opening Detection sensors corresponding to game balls B entering various winning openings such as 2002, second starting opening 2004, big winning opening 2005, first receiving port 2007, second receiving port 2008 and the gate portion 2003 The main control MPU does not input the detection signal from the control signal, and the detection of the gaming ball B is treated as invalid. It should be noted that the detection itself of the gaming ball B may not be performed by the detection sensor, or may be treated as invalid while inputting the detection signal from the detection sensor. As described above, in the case where the detection of the game ball B is invalidated, for example, even if the game ball B enters the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, the lottery, the symbol variation (the variation of the special symbol) Display) and payout of the game ball B will not be performed, and thereby, the game ball B will be the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening for any reason during the regular operation of confirming the setting value. Even if the player enters 2004, it is possible to suppress the progression of the game. Similarly, when the detection of the game ball B is invalidated, for example, even if the game ball B enters the large winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007, and the second receiving port 2008, the payout of the game ball B is made. The game ball B will not be performed for any of the high probability state, and thereby the gaming ball B will be displayed for the winning opening 2005, the first entrance 2007, Even if the second entrance 2008 is entered, it is possible to suppress the progression of the game.

  Note that the main control MPU does not input detection signals from detection sensors corresponding to each of the various winning openings and gate portions (gates) in the confirmation display state which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4. At the same time, the detection signal from the detection sensor corresponding to the out port 1008 is not input by the main control MPU, and the detection of the game ball B is treated as invalid. As described above, when the detection of the game ball B discharged from the out port 1008 is invalidated, for example, the measurement by the above-described base monitor 1310 h for the game ball B discharged from the game area 5 a in the confirmation display state It becomes possible to exclude from the target (target to be added to the out number counter), and the game ball B remaining in the game area 5a due to ball clogging or the like is detected in the confirmation display state, and the base monitor 1310h It is possible to avoid the situation where it is measured (added to the out number counter).

  On the other hand, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (switch input process of step S104) is started by executing the interrupt permission setting of step S52, and the first starting port 2002 When the game ball B enters the various winning openings such as the second starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the first receiving opening 2007, the second receiving opening 2008, etc. from the detection sensor corresponding to each The main control MPU inputs a detection signal of {circle over (1)} to treat the detection of the gaming ball B as effective. Thus, when the detection of the game ball B is made effective, when the game ball B enters the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, lottery, symbol fluctuation (variation display of special symbol) , It is possible to be paid out of the game ball B. Similarly, when the detection of the game ball B is made effective, when the game ball B enters the large winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007, and the second receiving port 2008, the game ball B is paid out, and the height is high. It is possible to perform the provision of the probability state (in the case where the "effective state" is set as the state when the gaming ball B is received in the second receiving port 2008 as described above).

  In this example, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, that is, from the end of the confirmation display state, the first start opening 2002, the second start opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the first inlet 2007 When the game ball B enters the various winning openings such as the second entrance 2008 and the gate unit 2003, the detection of the game ball B is treated as being effective, but at the timing t5 On the other hand, the detection of the game ball B may be treated as effective when the main unit frame 4 is closed or when a predetermined time has elapsed after the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4. This is because it is difficult to operate the handle 182 to fire the game ball B before closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 at timing t5, and it is practically difficult to start the game It is because there is.

  Further, in the present example, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the payout control MPU starts processing when the payout control power is on, and outputs a drive signal to the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580. The game ball B can be paid out from the payout device 580. That is, in the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, it is possible to pay out the game ball B from the payout device 580 as in the change permission state. However, in the confirmation display state, which is the period from timing t3 to timing t4, as described above, the main control MPU inputs detection signals from detection sensors corresponding to each of the various winning openings and gate portions (gates). For example, even if the game ball B enters the first start opening 2002, the second start opening 2004, and the large winning opening 2005 in the confirmation display state, the game ball B is not paid out, for example. .

  When the game ball B enters the various winning openings at the time of turning off the power at timing t0 and the game ball B is paid out from the payout device 580, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f And when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at the timing t3 (when the setting value is changed), the operation of the RAM clear switch 1310 f from the main control board 1310 to the payout control board 633 is performed at that time. Since the signal (detection signal) is input and the entire area of the payout control built-in RAM is cleared, the information on the payout of the gaming ball B is lost, but the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is operated. If the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at time t3 (if confirmation display of the set value is performed), then the payout control is performed at that time. Because it does not execute a process of clearing the entire area of the storehouse RAM, so that the information about the payout of the game ball B is held. For this reason, after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the gaming ball B is unpaid out when the power is shut off when it becomes possible to pay out the gaming ball B from the payout device 580. It will resume the payout of

  In the confirmation display state which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the current setting value (setting value 1 to setting value at the time when setting key cylinder of setting key switch 1311a is turned on in setting indicator 1310g) In the confirmation display state in which the payout of the game ball B, which is unpaid, is being performed when the power is shut off as described above, the payout such as a broken ball is displayed. When a related error occurs, the payout control MPU notifies a display (for example, 7-segment LED provided on the payout control board 633) other than the setting display 1310g to that effect. The error information is displayed, or a predetermined light emitting device (for example, a plurality of LEDs 121a, a plurality of LEDs 213a, etc.) And to perform a payout associated error output processing for light emission processing notifications to payout related errors manner. Thereby, in the confirmation display state, whether or not the payout of the game ball B which is unpaid is completed when the power is shut off, a payout related error such as out of the ball occurs and the payout of the game ball B is performed. It is possible to determine whether it is not and to prevent the player from generating a loss. In addition, since the payout related error processing is an important event in order to play the game smoothly later, importance is placed on the payout maintenance regardless of the work efficiency of the hall clerk, as in the above-mentioned fraud related error processing. The same processing as normal is performed without setting any restrictions and without performing any suppression.

  As described above, when the power is turned off at the timing t0, when the game ball B enters the various winning openings and the game ball B is paid out from the payout device 580, the RAM clear switch 1310 f If the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at the timing t3 without operating the pressing operation unit (if confirmation display of the set value is performed), the gaming ball which is unpaid at the moment when the power is shut off at that time The payout of B can be resumed. On the other hand, in the confirmation display state which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the special symbol (first special symbol) in the special symbol indicator (first special symbol indicator, second special symbol indicator) of the function display unit 1400 And the second special symbol) is in a state where it is not possible to perform variable display (non-variable state A), therefore, when the power is shut off at timing t0, the special symbol changes in the special symbol display of function display unit 1400 When the display is performed, or when the variation display of the special symbol is stored as hold, the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3 without operating the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f. At that time, if it is (if confirmation display of the set value is performed), the fluctuation display of the special symbol being interrupted at the time of turning off the power or Never when the power supply is cut off or performs variable display of the special symbols are stored as pending. That is, in the confirmation display state which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the fluctuation display of the special symbol interrupted at the time of shutting off the power is restarted or stored at the moment of cutting off the power. It is a period in which it is possible to only pay out the game ball B which is unpaid at the time of shutting off the power, even while preventing the progress of the game due to it without displaying the variation display of the special symbol. . For example, at the time of closing the store, when the game ball B enters the various winning openings and the game ball B is paid out from the payout device 580, the power is shut off when the power is shut off. In the game, a loss occurs to the player for the game ball B which is unpaid, but after that the pachinko machine 1 is turned on and the confirmation display state is made to prevent the game progress after the power is shut off. At the same time, when the power is shut off, only the payout of the game ball B which is unpaid can be made, and the player can be prevented from generating a loss.

  In the above modification, when the setting key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON and the pachinko machine 1 is powered on without operating the pressing portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. Until the setting key is turned OFF, it is not possible to perform the variable display of the special symbol, and while stopping the game progress after the power is turned off, the game ball B that is unpaid at the time when the power is turned off While the period during which only the payout can be made is set, the confirmation display of the set value may not be performed. In addition, when an operation unit different from the setting key switch 1311a, the RAM clear switch 1310f, and the power switch 630a is provided and the operation by the hall clerk is turned on by the other operation unit, the period until the operation is turned OFF , It is not possible to perform the variable display of the special symbol, and while the hall clerk prevents the game from proceeding after the operation is turned on, only the payout of the game ball B which is unpaid when the hall clerk is turned on It may be a period during which it is possible to Even in such a case, for example, at the time of closing the hall, while preventing the game progress in the period in which the hall clerk has made the operation ON, the payout of the game ball B which is unpaid when the hall clerk made the operation ON It is possible to prevent the player from generating a loss.

13-2. About the jackpot game and launcher]
As shown in FIG. 98, in the change permission state which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the main control side timer interrupt processing (the special symbol and the special electric symbol processing control processing in step S114) is not started, A large winning opening door 2413 capable of opening and closing the large winning opening 2005, and a distribution piece 2415 for distributing the gaming balls B accepted by the high winning opening 2005 to either the first receiving port 2007 or the second receiving port 2008 It becomes impossible state. Then, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (the special symbol and the special motorized product control process of step S114) is started by executing the interrupt permission setting of step S52. , The special winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415 can be operated. By this, after setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, when a big hit game is started at timing t6, it is possible to operate the big winning opening door 2413 or the distribution piece 2415 as the big hit game. The game ball B can be entered into the big winning opening 2005, or the game ball B accepted by the big winning opening 2005 can be distributed to the second receiving port 2008.

  In addition, at the time of shutting off the power at the timing t0, when the big winning opening door 2413 or the distribution piece 2415 is operating during the execution of the big hit game, at the time when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at the timing t4. Since the setting change process of step S37 of the main control power-on process is ended, and then the specific area is cleared out of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM in step S38, the big hit game is being executed ( Information on the special winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415 is lost. Therefore, after the end of the change permission state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, although it becomes possible to operate the special winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415, it is interrupted when the power is shut off. There is no need to restart the big hit game being played, and the big winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415 are not operated.

  As described above, the main control side timer interrupt process (the switch input process in step S104) is not started in the change permission state which is the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4. When the game ball B enters the various winning openings such as the starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007, the second receiving port 2008, etc., the detection signal from the corresponding detection sensor Is not input by the main control MPU, and the detection of the game ball B is treated as invalid. As described above, in the case where the detection of the game ball B is invalidated, for example, even if the game ball B enters the large winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007, and the second receiving port 2008, It will not be performed for any of the payout and the high probability state, and thereby the gaming ball B will be the big winning opening 2005, the first entrance 2007, for some reason during the regular work of changing the setting of the set value. Even if the second entrance 2008 is entered, it is possible to suppress the progression of the game.

  Further, in this example, it is possible to operate the special winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415 from the time when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, that is, from the end time of the change permission state. When the main frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2 at timing t5, or when a predetermined time passes after the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, the special winning opening door 2413 or the distribution piece 2415 is operated. It may be possible to This is because it is difficult to operate the handle 182 to fire the game ball B before closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 at timing t5, and it is practically difficult to start the game It is because there is.

  In addition, in the change permission state, which is the period from timing t3 to timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (fire permission signal setting process in step S113) is not started, but the firing by the handle 182 is performed in the change permission state. In consideration of performing an inspection of the operation, etc., the logic of the release permission signal to transmit permission to release the game ball B to the release control portion 633b of the payout control board 633 is set in that period, When the handle 182 is operated, the game ball B can be fired. In addition, when setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control timer interrupt processing (the firing permission signal setting processing of step S113) is started by executing the interrupt permission setting of step S52, and the change permission state Even after the end of, when the handle 182 is operated, the state where the game ball B can be fired is continued. As described above, it is possible to prepare the firing of the game ball B by operating the handle 182 before closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 at timing t5. The game can be started immediately after closing the

  As shown in FIG. 99, in the confirmation display state, which is the period from timing t3 to timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (special symbol and special motorized product control process in step S114) as in the change permitted state. The game ball B accepted by the large winning hole 2005 is distributed to either the first receiving port 2007 or the second receiving port 2008 because the large winning hole 2005 can be opened and closed. The distribution piece 2415 can not be operated. Then, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control timer interrupt process (the special symbol and the special motorized product control process of step S114) is started by executing the interrupt permission setting of step S52. , The special winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415 can be operated. By this, after setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, when a big hit game is started at timing t6, it is possible to operate the big winning opening door 2413 or the distribution piece 2415 as the big hit game. The game ball B can be entered into the big winning opening 2005, or the game ball B accepted by the big winning opening 2005 can be distributed to the second receiving port 2008.

  In addition, at the time of shutting off the power at the timing t0, when the big winning opening door 2413 or the distribution piece 2415 is operating during the execution of the big hit game, while operating the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310 f If the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at t3 (if the setting value is changed), the setting of step S37 of the main control power on process is performed when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4. Since the change process is ended, and then the main control built-in RAM is cleared except for a specific area in the entire area of the main control built-in RAM in step S38, the big hit game is being executed (the operation of the big winning port door 2413 Information) is lost, but it does not operate the pressing part of the RAM clear switch 13 If the machine 1 is powered on (if confirmation display of the set value is performed), the set value confirmation display in step S28 of the main control power on process is performed when the set key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4. Since the processing of step S38 for clearing the specific area out of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is not performed as after the setting change process of step S37, the big hit game is being executed (big winning game). Information regarding the operation of the mouth door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415 is held. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 100, after the end of the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, it becomes possible to operate the special winning opening door 2413 and the distributing piece 2415. As an opportunity, when the power is shut off, the interrupted big hit game is resumed, and the big winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415 are operated. Also, as described later, it is possible to operate the handle 182 to prepare for the launch of the game ball B before resuming the big hit game which has been interrupted at the time when the power is shut off at the timing t5. Immediately after resuming the game, the game ball B can be made to enter the big winning opening 2007 and the second receiving port 2008 efficiently.

  As described above, the main control timer interrupt process (the switch input process at step S104) is not started in the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4. When the game ball B enters the various winning openings such as the starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007, the second receiving port 2008, etc., the detection signal from the corresponding detection sensor Is not input by the main control MPU, and the detection of the game ball B is treated as invalid. As described above, in the case where the detection of the game ball B is invalidated, for example, even if the game ball B enters the large winning opening 2005, the first receiving port 2007, and the second receiving port 2008, It will not be performed for any of the payout and the high probability state, and thereby, the gaming ball B will be the big winning opening 2005, the first entrance 2007, for some reason during the regular operation of confirming the setting value. Even if the second entrance 2008 is entered, it is possible to suppress the progression of the game.

  Further, in this example, it is possible to operate the special winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415 from the time when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at the timing t4, that is, from the end time of the confirmation display state. When the main frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2 at timing t5, or when a predetermined time passes after the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, the special winning opening door 2413 or the distribution piece 2415 is operated. It may be possible to This is because it is difficult to operate the handle 182 to fire the game ball B before closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 at timing t5, and it is practically difficult to start the game It is because there is. In addition, when you resume the big hit game that was interrupted when the power was turned off from when the setting key switch 1311a was turned off at timing t4, that is, from the end point of the confirmation display state, before restarting the big hit game. It is difficult to operate the handle 182 to prepare for the launch of the game ball B, but it is possible to resume the big hit game by delaying the resumption of the big hit game being interrupted at the time of turning off the power. It is easy to prepare the launch of the game ball B by operating the handle 182, and the game ball B can be made to enter the big winning opening 2007 and the second receiving port 2008 efficiently immediately after restarting the big hit game. .

  Also, in the confirmation display state, which is the period from timing t3 to timing t4, the main control timer interrupt processing (fire permission signal setting processing in step S113) is not started as in the change permission state, but confirmation display In consideration of inspection of the firing operation by the handle 182 in the state, a release permission signal for transmitting permission to release the game ball B to the release control portion 633b of the payout control board 633 in that period. The logic is set so that the game ball B can be fired when the handle 182 is operated. In addition, when setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control timer interrupt processing (the firing permission signal setting processing of step S113) is started by executing the interrupt permission setting of step S52, and the change permission state Even after the end of, when the handle 182 is operated, the state where the game ball B can be fired is continued. Thus, it is possible to operate the handle 182 before the main frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2 at timing t5 to prepare for the launch of the game ball B. The game can be started immediately after closing the

13-3. About the production device and the production member]
As shown in FIG. 98, in this example, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the peripheral control MPU starts processing upon peripheral control power on, and the predetermined screen of the effect display device 1600 is generated. It is possible to display an image. Then, in the change permission state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the symbol display (decorative symbol display) on the screen of the effect display device 1600 is erased, and the image from the effect display device 1600 and the output from the lamp or speaker Notification is being performed during setting change to notify that setting change of the setting value is in progress. As notification during this setting change, sound to repeat "setting change in progress", message display "setting change in progress!", And lamp emission with colors corresponding to the setting values of 1 to 6 in the selection operation process It is supposed to be. In addition, notification during setting change is notification (effect) performed only in the change permission state, and is executed prior to main body frame opening notification performed in the state where the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2 . That is, in the state where the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2, the main body frame open notification (such as display or voice of "frame is open") is normally performed, but in the change permission state, the main body frame open notification In the setting change notification is given top priority without performing the above. The main frame opening notification and the setting change notification are executed in parallel, and the setting change notification is prioritized over the main frame opening notification, and the main frame opening notification is performed after the setting change notification is completed. The form can also be illustrated. Then, after the end of the change permission state at the timing t4, until the predetermined period (for example, about 20 seconds) elapses, the image from the effect display device 1600 or the output from the lamp or the speaker changes the symbol or the big hit game The game start notification is executed to notify that it is possible to start a game such as.

  In addition to the image from the effect display device 1600, the lamp, and the output from the speaker, the notification by the function display unit 1400 is also notified as the setting change notification described above in the change permission state which is the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4. Running. Specifically, although not shown, the function display unit 1400 is a status indicator, a normal symbol indicator, a normal hold indicator, a first special symbol indicator, a first special hold number indicator, a second special In addition to the symbol indicator, the second special hold number indicator, and the round indicator, the setting change indicator, which consists of one LED that indicates that the setting change is in progress (change permitted state), of the setting The confirmation display indicator which consists of one LED which displays that it is in a confirmation display (confirmation display state) is provided. Then, in the change permission state, only the LED of the setting change-in-progress indicator in the function display unit 1400 is turned on, and all the LEDs of the other display indicators are turned off. Thereby, in the change permission state, it can be grasped by the notification by the function display unit 1400 that the game does not progress.

  In addition, in the change permission state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, various winnings such as the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the first receiving opening 2007, the second receiving opening 2008, etc. Even when the main control MPU inputs detection signals from the corresponding detection sensors when the game ball B enters the mouth or gate unit 2003, the detection of the game ball B is treated as invalid. However, when such a detection signal is input, various winning openings and gates can be obtained even though the game should not be performed in the change permitted state by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600. A warning effect A is issued to notify that the game ball B is entering the club. The warning effect A is executed prior to notification during setting change and notification of main body frame opening. That is, at the time of execution of the warning effect A, the warning effect A is to be executed with the highest priority without notification during setting change or notification of main body frame opening.

  Also, in the normal time when the main body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2, it is a period during which the setting key switch 1311a is not in the setting key ON state, but in such a setting key ON state In this case, warning effects B and C are issued to notify that the setting key is turned on improperly by the image, the lamp and the speaker of the effect display device 1600. Specifically, when the setting key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON in a state where symbol variation is performed at the normal time, until the setting key switch 1311a returns to the setting key OFF, The warning effect B is executed. Similarly, when the setting key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON in a state where symbol variation is not performed at the normal time, a warning effect is produced until the setting key switch 1311a returns to the setting key OFF. C is running. Also, the warning effects B and C are executed with priority over the effects being executed. That is, when the warning effects B and C are executed, the current effects are stopped regardless of whether or not the symbol variation is performed, and the warning effects B and C are performed with the highest priority. Although the warning effects B and C execute the effect in the same manner, the effects may be performed in a different manner so that it can be determined whether or not the symbol variation is being performed.

  In this example, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on at timing t3, the peripheral control MPU starts processing when the peripheral control power is turned on, and the volume of the sound output from the speaker, the lamp, and the effect display device 1600. It is possible to adjust the amount of light output from a light emitting member such as a screen. That is, in the change permission state, which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, it is possible to adjust the volume output from the speaker and the light amount output from the light emitting member such as the lamp or the screen of the effect display device 1600. There is. Specifically, after the adjustment display image is displayed on the effect display device 1600 by operating the effect operation unit 160 (press operation unit 161), the rotation operation of the effect operation unit 160 (press operation unit 161) is further performed. It is possible to adjust the volume and the amount of light. However, during a period in which the effect using the effect operation unit 160 is being executed while the symbol is changing, the effect operation unit 160 is waiting for the effect operation unit 160 to be operated for the effect. Even if it operates, it is considered as the prohibition period which can not adjust volume and light volume.

  In this example, the peripheral control MPU starts processing when the peripheral control power is turned on when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, and the effect member mounted on the main unit frame 4 or the game board 5 (For example, the initial operation of the effect operation unit 160 and the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210) is performed. That is, in the change permission state which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, the main body is in a state in which it is not possible to perform the fluctuation display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 The initial operation of the effect members (for example, the effect operation unit 160 and the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210) mounted on the frame 4 and the game board 5 is performed. Each of such effect members is a member capable of operating between the initial position and the operation position, and in the initial operation of the effect members, the effect members normally operate from the initial position toward the operation position It is supposed that the confirmation of the position, the accurate alignment, etc. are performed so that the effect member stands by at the initial position. Then, after the end of the change permission state at the timing t4, it is possible to execute an effect using the effect member. For example, as a variation pattern (variation pattern command) transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510, if a variation pattern in which an effect using a rendering member is set during symbol variation is transmitted, the symbol At a predetermined timing during the movement, the effect member is moved from the initial position to the operating position.

  In addition, when the setting key switch 1311a is not set to the setting key ON when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and the setting change of the setting value and the confirmation display of the setting value are not performed, the fluctuation permitted state or the confirmation display state Since the main control side timer interrupt processing is started by executing the interrupt permission setting without delaying the execution timing of the interrupt permission setting in step S52 as in the above, the function display unit is turned on immediately after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. It becomes a state (variable possible state) which can perform change display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of 1400. However, in such a case, since the transition to the variable state is possible without waiting for the completion of the initial operation of the effect member mounted on the main unit frame 4 or the game board 5, for example, after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. During the initial operation of the effect member, when the fluctuation pattern in which the effect using the effect member is set is transmitted during the symbol fluctuation, the effect member is moved from the initial position to the operation position based on the fluctuation pattern In some cases, the operation opportunity of the rendering member may be lost. On the other hand, in this example, in the change permission state which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, it is impossible to perform the fluctuation display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 (variable state A Since the initial operation of the effect member mounted on the main frame 4 and the game board 5 is being performed, the initial operation of the effect member is completed when transitioning to the changeable state after the end of the change permission state is performed. There is a high possibility of Thereby, after the change permission state is ended, even if the variation pattern in which the effect using the effect member is set is transmitted during the symbol change, the initial operation of the effect member is not affected. The effect member can be operated from the initial position to the operation position based on the fluctuation pattern, and information obtained from the effect contents can be prevented from being missed.

  However, for the initial operation of the effect member mounted on the main unit frame 4 and the game board 5, a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) is required to complete. Therefore, in the change permission state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4 before the initial operation of the rendering member is completed, the initial position of the rendering member After completion of the operation, execution of the effect using the effect member is enabled. That is, the timing at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4 may be before or after the completion of the initial operation of the effect member, and in either case, the setting key switch at timing t4. When 1311a is turned off, it is possible to perform symbol variation.

  As shown in FIG. 99, in this example, the peripheral control MPU starts processing when the peripheral control power is turned on when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on at timing t3, and a predetermined image is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 1600. It is possible to display. Then, in the confirmation display state which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the symbol display (decorative symbol display) on the screen of the effect display device 1600 is erased as in the change permission state, and the image of the effect display device 1600 or Notification is issued during confirmation display to notify that the confirmation display of the setting value is being performed by the output from the lamp and the speaker. As notification during this confirmation display, sound to repeat "during confirmation display", message display of "during confirmation display!", And lamp emission in colors corresponding to the set values of 1 to 6 set are executed. It is supposed to be. In addition, the notification during confirmation display is notification (effect) performed only in the confirmation display state, and is executed prior to the main body frame opening notification performed in the state where the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2 . That is, in the state where the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2, the main body frame open notification (such as display and sound of "frame is open") is normally performed, but in the confirmation display state, the main body frame open notification During the confirmation display, it is assumed that the notification is given top priority without performing. The main frame opening notification and the confirmation display notification are executed in parallel, giving priority to the confirmation display notification over the main frame opening notification, and performing the main frame opening notification after the confirmation display notification is completed. The form can also be illustrated. Then, after the end of the confirmation display state at the timing t4, until the predetermined period (for example, about 20 seconds) elapses, the image from the effect display device 1600 or the output from the lamp or the speaker changes the symbol or the big hit game The game start notification is executed to notify that it is possible to start a game such as.

  In addition, after the end of the confirmation display state at the timing t4, the big hit that is interrupted at the time when the power is cut off triggered by the fact that it is possible to operate the special winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415 It is possible to restart the game and operate the big winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415, but as shown in FIG. 100, when such a big hit game is resumed, the image or lamp of the effect display device 1600, By the output from the speaker, a big hit game restart notification is issued to restart the big hit game being interrupted when the power is shut off and to operate the big winning opening door 2413 and the distribution piece 2415. In addition, before the resumption of the big hit game, while waiting for the execution of the big hit game which is interrupted at the time of shutting off the power by the output from the image and the lamp of the effect display device 1600 and the speaker, that is, the big winning opening door 2413 and shaking A big hit game standby notification may be executed to notify that the operation of the piece 2415 is in progress. Thereby, it is possible to operate the handle 182 before the resumption of the big hit game and prepare for the launch of the game ball B, and immediately after resuming the big hit game, the game is played on the big prize port 2007 or the second receiving port 2008 efficiently. The ball B can be made to enter.

  In addition to the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600, the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4 is notified as the confirmation display described above as in the change permission state. The notification by the function display unit 1400 is also executed. Specifically, although not shown, the function display unit 1400 is a status indicator, a normal symbol indicator, a normal hold indicator, a first special symbol indicator, a first special hold number indicator, a second special In addition to the symbol indicator, the second special hold number indicator, and the round indicator, the setting change indicator, which consists of one LED that indicates that the setting change is in progress (change permitted state), of the setting The confirmation display indicator which consists of one LED which displays that it is in a confirmation display (confirmation display state) is provided. Then, in the confirmation display state, only the LED of the display during confirmation display in the function display unit 1400 is turned on, and all the LEDs of the other displays are turned off. Thereby, in the confirmation display state, it can be grasped by the notification by the function display unit 1400 that the game does not progress.

  In addition, various confirmations such as the first start opening 2002, the second start opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the first receiving opening 2007, the second receiving opening 2008, etc. are displayed in the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4. Even when the main control MPU inputs detection signals from the corresponding detection sensors when the game ball B enters the mouth or gate unit 2003, the detection of the game ball B is treated as invalid. However, when such a detection signal is input, various winning openings and gates can be obtained even though the game should not be performed in the confirmation display state by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600. A warning effect A is issued to notify that the game ball B is entering the club. The warning effect A is executed prior to notification during confirmation display and main body frame opening notification. That is, at the time of execution of the warning effect A, the warning effect A is to be executed with the highest priority without performing notification during confirmation display or body frame opening notification.

  Also, in the normal time when the main body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2, it is a period during which the setting key switch 1311a is not in the setting key ON state, but in such a setting key ON state In this case, warning effects B and C are issued to notify that the setting key is turned on improperly by the image, the lamp and the speaker of the effect display device 1600. Specifically, when the setting key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON in a state where symbol variation is performed at the normal time, until the setting key switch 1311a returns to the setting key OFF, The warning effect B is executed. Similarly, when the setting key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON in a state where symbol variation is not performed at the normal time, a warning effect is produced until the setting key switch 1311a returns to the setting key OFF. C is running. Also, the warning effects B and C are executed with priority over the effects being executed. That is, when the warning effects B and C are executed, the current effects are stopped regardless of whether or not the symbol variation is performed, and the warning effects B and C are performed with the highest priority. Although the warning effects B and C execute the effect in the same manner, the effects may be performed in a different manner so that it can be determined whether or not the symbol variation is being performed.

  Also, in this example, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the peripheral control MPU starts processing when the peripheral control power is on, and the volume output from the speaker, the lamp, and the effect display device 1600. It is possible to adjust the amount of light output from the light-emitting member such as the screen of FIG. That is, in the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, similarly to the change permission state, the volume output from the speaker or the light amount output from the light emitting member such as a lamp or the screen of the effect display device 1600 It is possible to adjust the Specifically, after the adjustment display image is displayed on the effect display device 1600 by operating the effect operation unit 160 (press operation unit 161), the rotation operation of the effect operation unit 160 (press operation unit 161) is further performed. It is possible to adjust the volume and the amount of light. However, during a period in which the effect using the effect operation unit 160 is being executed while the symbol is changing, the effect operation unit 160 is waiting for the effect operation unit 160 to be operated for the effect. Even if it operates, it is considered as the prohibition period which can not adjust volume and light volume.

  In this example, the peripheral control MPU starts processing when the peripheral control power is turned on when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, and the effect member mounted on the main unit frame 4 or the game board 5 (For example, the initial operation of the effect operation unit 160 and the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210) is performed. That is, in the confirmation display state which is the period from timing t3 to timing t4, it is impossible to perform the fluctuation display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 similarly to the change permission state While in state A), an initial operation of a rendering member (for example, the rendering operation unit 160 and a plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3210) mounted on the main body frame 4 and the game board 5 is performed. Each of such effect members is a member capable of operating between an initial position and an operation position. In the initial operation of the effect members, each of the effect members is sequentially or simultaneously performed with a predetermined operation pattern. By making it operate, it is decided to check whether the rendering member normally operates from the initial position toward the operating position, and to perform precise alignment so that the rendering member stands by at the initial position. Then, after the end of the confirmation display state at the timing t4, it is possible to execute an effect using the effect member. For example, as a variation pattern (variation pattern command) transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510, if a variation pattern in which an effect using a rendering member is set during symbol variation is transmitted, the symbol At a predetermined timing during the movement, the effect member is moved from the initial position to the operating position.

  In addition, when the setting key switch 1311a is not set to the setting key ON when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and the setting change of the setting value and the confirmation display of the setting value are not performed, the fluctuation permitted state or the confirmation display state Since the main control side timer interrupt processing is started by executing the interrupt permission setting without delaying the execution timing of the interrupt permission setting in step S52 as in the above, the function display unit is turned on immediately after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. It becomes a state (variable possible state) which can perform change display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of 1400. However, in such a case, since the transition to the variable state is possible without waiting for the completion of the initial operation of the effect member mounted on the main unit frame 4 or the game board 5, for example, after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. During the initial operation of the effect member, when the fluctuation pattern in which the effect using the effect member is set is transmitted during the symbol fluctuation, the effect member is moved from the initial position to the operation position based on the fluctuation pattern In some cases, the operation opportunity of the rendering member may be lost. On the other hand, in this example, in the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, the state where the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 can not be performed (variable state A Since the initial operation of the effect member mounted on the main frame 4 and the game board 5 is being performed, the initial operation of the effect member is completed when transitioning to the changeable state after the end of the confirmation display state. There is a high possibility of Thereby, after the confirmation display state is ended, even if the variation pattern in which the effect using the effect member is set is transmitted during the symbol change, the initial operation of the effect member is not affected. The effect member can be operated from the initial position to the operation position based on the fluctuation pattern, and information obtained from the effect contents can be prevented from being missed.

  However, for the initial operation of the effect member mounted on the main unit frame 4 and the game board 5, a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) is required to complete. Therefore, in the confirmation display state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4 before the initial operation of the rendering member is completed, the initial position of the rendering member After completion of the operation, execution of the effect using the effect member is enabled. That is, the timing at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4 may be before or after the completion of the initial operation of the effect member, and in either case, the setting key switch at timing t4. When 1311a is turned off, it is possible to perform symbol variation.

  In addition, when the effect members are mounted on the main body frame 4 and the game board 5 respectively, the initial operation of the effect members mounted on the game board 5 is performed in advance in advance and mounted on the main body frame 4 The initial operation of the effect member may be delayed to “after closing of the main body frame 4 at timing t5”. This is because the body frame 4 is opened during the setting change of the setting value or the confirmation display of the setting value, and the body frame 4 is closed after the setting change of the setting value or the confirmation display of the setting value is completed. An impact is generated on the frame 4. For this reason, at the time of closing operation of the main body frame 4, situations may occur such that the effect member mounted on the main body frame 4 does not operate normally or positional deviation occurs in the initial position, etc. The initial operation of the effect member mounted on the main body frame 4 can be coped with even when such a situation occurs by starting after the closing of the main body frame 4.

  When each of the effect members mounted on the main unit frame 4 or the game board 5 is initially operated either sequentially or simultaneously, the initial operation of each of the effect members is not completed normally (each effect member When there is a rendering member that is not detected at the initial position at a predetermined time, or when there is a rendering member that is not detected at the initial position at a predetermined timing, another initial position is performed. If there is a rendering member not detected at the initial position even at a predetermined time after the operation or retry operation, etc.), the rendering using the rendering member which is not completed normally is executed during the symbol variation Not to limit. Here, as described above, when the setting key switch 1311a is not turned on when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the setting change of the setting value and the confirmation display of the setting value are not performed. Immediately after the power of the machine 1 is turned on, the special symbol display of the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 can be changed (changeable state) and the initial operation of the effect member is performed. . In this example, when the initial operation of the effect member in such a situation is not completed normally, the player feels uncomfortable that the effect member remains stopped at a position different from the initial position during the variation display of the special symbol. Change the setting value and confirm the setting value without setting the setting key switch 1311a to ON when setting the pachinko machine 1 to the power on. If the pachinko machine 1 is not powered on, one of the effect members is detected at the initial position at a predetermined time after power-on of the pachinko machine 1 (when it is assumed that the initial operation of each effect member is finished and the initial position is located). When not being output, an initial position error notification to the outside is performed by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600.

  On the other hand, if the effect member is not detected at the initial position by the initial operation during setting change of the set value (change permitted state) or during confirmation display of the set value (confirmed display state), normal setting change or confirmation display In order to avoid the hindrance of the operation of the above, even if the effect member is stopped at a position different from the initial position, the initial position error notification is not performed. Then, after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the initial position error notification to the outside is performed by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600. Note that although the initial position error notification is started after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, this is a specification that is started in advance from the time when the effect member is not detected at the initial position by the initial operation. May be In addition, when the effect member is not detected at the initial position due to the initial operation, notification of a mode that does not disturb the operation of normal setting change or confirmation display among the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600 For example, only the lamp) may be executed in advance.

  In addition, as a modification, when the setting key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON and the pachinko machine 1 is powered on regardless of whether or not the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated, special In a state in which it is impossible to perform the variable display of the symbol, and while preventing the progression of the game, of the effect members (for example, the effect operation unit 160 and the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210) mounted on the main frame 4 and the game board 5 While the initial operation is performed, the setting change of the set value or the confirmation display of the set value may not be performed. In addition, when an operation unit different from the setting key switch 1311a, the RAM clear switch 1310f, and the power switch 630a is provided and the operation by the hall clerk is turned on by the other operation unit, the period until the operation is turned OFF , It is not possible to perform the variable display of the special symbol, and while the hall clerk prevents the game from proceeding after the operation is turned on, the initial operation of the effect members mounted on the main unit frame 4 and the game board 5 is performed. It may be a period of time. Even in such a case, after the hall clerk turns off the operation, the initial operation of the effect member is affected even if the variation pattern in which the effect using the effect member is set is transmitted during the symbol change. It is possible to operate the rendering member from the initial position to the operating position based on the fluctuation pattern without being lost, and to avoid missing information obtained from the content of the rendering.

13-4. About fraud monitoring]
In the present embodiment, various fraudulent activities are monitored in the fraudulent activity detection process of step S112 described above. Specifically, various winning openings and gate portions (gates (gates) provided on the game board 5 by changing the course of the game balls B flowing down the game area 5a which is divided into the game board 5 by bringing a magnet close to the pachinko machine 1 Magnetic sensor 3003 for detecting fraudulent activity such as entering the ball), the main control MPU determines the presence or absence of fraudulent activity based on the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 3003, and monitors the fraudulent activity due to the magnet. The monitoring result is sent to the peripheral control MPU, and the peripheral control MPU is made to perform the fraud related error processing. In addition, the pachinko machine 1 vibrates or strikes the pachinko machine 1 to change the course of the game ball B flowing down the gaming area 5a defined in the game board 5 by applying vibration to the game board 5. The main control MPU determines the presence or absence of fraudulent activity based on the detection signal from the vibration sensor by providing a vibration sensor for detecting fraudulent activity such as entering into various winning openings and gate portions (gates) provided. The fraudulent action due to vibration is monitored, the monitoring result is transmitted to the peripheral control MPU, and the peripheral control MPU is made to perform the fraud related error processing. With regard to monitoring of these fraudulent activities, the normal state (setting change of setting value or confirmation display of setting value is not performed) and the state where setting change of setting value or confirmation display of setting value is being performed. And the manner of monitoring is different.

  In this example, as a magnetic sensor 3003 for detecting a fraudulent action due to a magnet, it is a part of the game board 5 where the magnetism is generated (is it around the setting change board 1311 or the setting key switch 1311a located behind the game board 5? One magnetic sensor is provided which can specify whether it is in front of the game area 5a located on the front side. Under normal conditions, the magnetic sensor 3003 generates a magnetism (magnetism due to unauthorized access) that should not occur in the area where the setting change board 1311 and the setting key switch 1311 a are provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1. It monitors whether it occurred (whether the magnet has approached), and monitors fraudulent activities such as setting change and confirmation display, except those who perform setting change and confirmation display of the setting value, and also in front of the game area 5a The game board monitors whether the magnetism (unauthorized access magnetism) which should not occur originally is generated (whether the magnet approaches) to the area, and changes the course of the game ball B flowing down the game area 5a to change the game board It monitors fraudulent acts such as entering various winning openings and gate parts provided on 5. In addition, as an illegal act against the back side of the pachinko machine 1 using a magnet, for example, metal illegal equipment in the island facility where the pachinko machine 1 is installed (in the space where the back side of the pachinko machine 1 is exposed) , A magnet for indirectly operating the metal fraudulent device, and a slight gap between the pachinko machine 1 and the inside of the island facility or an opening that partially breaks the pachinko machine 1 is loaded with magnet and metal fraudulent It is conceivable that the appliance is operated to illegally access the setting change board 1311 and the setting key switch 1311 a on the back side of the pachinko machine 1.

  When the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 3003 is input in the injustice detecting process in step S112, it is determined that the injustice using the magnet is performed. Then, when it is determined that an illegal act using a magnet is being performed, the main control MPU sends a security signal to the hall computer installed on the game hall side via the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 To allow the store clerk to understand that the fraud is being conducted.

  Further, although not shown, the magnetic sensor 3003 of this example is configured by a rectangular box-shaped sensor body, and is a first magnetic detection having directivity with high sensitivity in the vertical direction with respect to one side surface Magnetic detection within the region and magnetic detection within the second magnetic detection region having directivity that is highly sensitive in the direction perpendicular to the opposite side surface on the other side can be performed. ing. The term "strong in the vertical direction" means that the sensitivity is higher in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction with respect to each side surface, and does not mean that there is no sensitivity in the horizontal direction. In other words, the magnetic detection area emitted from each side is a wide area surrounded by a sphere. The magnetic sensor 3003 is disposed such that the first magnetic detection area and the second magnetic detection area emitted from the side surface of the sensor body expand in the front-rear direction in a front view of the pachinko machine 1, and one magnetic detection area Includes the surface side of the pachinko machine 1 and the magnetic detection area is a first start opening 2002, a second start opening 2004, a normal winning opening 2003, a winning opening such as the big winning opening 2005 on the front side of the pachinko A plurality of locations among the main parts of the ball flow channel can be monitored, and the other magnetic detection area includes the back side of the pachinko machine 1, and the setting change board 1311 and the setting key switch 1311 a on the back side of the pachinko machine 1. It is possible to monitor the provided area. With such a configuration, it can be monitored whether the magnet approaches the area where the setting change board 1311 or the setting key switch 1311 is provided, or whether the magnet approaches the area in front of the game area 5a. .

  Also, in this example, as the vibration sensor 3005 for detecting cheating due to vibration, vibration capable of detecting the occurrence of vibration around the distribution piece 2415 inside the big winning opening 2005 provided on the game board 5 A sensor 3004 is provided. The vibration sensor 3005 is used to monitor the fraudulent activity only during the big hit game during the normal time, and the fraud sensor using the vibration sensor 3005 is not performed except for the big hit game. In the big hit game, this is to distribute the game ball B, which is received by the distribution piece 2415 at the big winning opening 2005 and circulates the inside, to either the first receiving port 2007 or the second receiving port 2008. If the distribution piece 2415 is vibrated, it becomes possible to change the course of the game ball B inside the big winning opening 2005 and make the game ball B enter the second receiving port 2008. , To prevent such cheating. That is, during the big hit game during normal times, the vibration sensor 3005 adds vibration (vibration due to unauthorized access) which is not supposed to occur to the periphery of the distribution piece 2415 inside the big winning opening 2005 It is monitored whether or not the game ball B is inserted in the second receiving port 2008 by changing the course of the game ball B inside the big winning opening 2005 and the like.

  When the detection signal from vibration sensor 3005 is input in the fraud detection process in step S112, it is assumed that the fraud due to vibration is being performed on the periphery of distribution piece 2415 inside big winning opening 2005. Deciding. Then, when it is determined that an illegal act due to vibration is being performed on the periphery of the distribution piece 2415 inside the special winning opening 2005, it is installed on the game hall side through the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 The main control MPU outputs a security signal to the hall computer thus processed so that a hall clerk can know that the fraudulent activity is being performed.

  In addition, the security signal output when it is determined that the cheating by vibration is performed is the same signal as the security signal output when it is determined that the cheating using the magnet is performed. . However, in the case where a security signal is output by judging that cheating by vibration is being performed, and when the security signal is output by judging that cheating using a magnet is being performed, The notification modes are different when the external notification is performed in the fraud related error process controlled by the control MPU. That is, when it is determined that the cheating by vibration is performed and the security signal is output, the image from the effect display device 1600, the lamp, and the speaker are output in a mode corresponding to the cheating by vibration. When a security signal is output while it is determined that a fraudulent action using a magnet is being performed while a notification by output is performed, the effect display in a mode corresponding to the fraudulent action by a magnet The notification by the image, the lamp, and the output from the speaker of the device 1600 can be made to distinguish which of the fraudulent acts are being performed.

  Next, monitoring of fraudulent activity during setting change of the set value and confirmation display of the set value will be described with reference to FIGS. 101 and 102. FIG. 101 is a time chart showing the monitoring state of fraudulent activity during setting change of the setting value, and FIG. 102 is a time chart showing the monitoring state of fraudulent activity during confirmation display of the setting value.

  As shown in FIG. 101, monitoring of fraudulent activity using the magnetic sensor 3003 is not performed in the change permission state which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4. This is because, in the change permission state, a regular worker who performs setting change of the setting value operates the setting key switch 1311a or the setting switching button 1311b, and a person other than the regular worker who changes the setting of the setting value Because there is no room for cheating. In addition, when performing setting change of the setting value, even if the authorized worker who performs the setting change has something that can generate magnetism, it is prevented from being detected as fraudulent activity using a magnet. It is possible to suppress the inhibition of the regular setting change work.

  In addition, in the change permission state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, monitoring of fraudulent activity using the vibration sensor 3005 is not performed. This is because, in the change permission state, a regular worker who performs setting change of the setting value operates the setting key switch 1311a or the setting switching button 1311b, and other than the regular worker who performs the setting change is invalid by vibration. It is because there is no room to act. In addition, even if a legitimate worker who performs the setting change changes the setting of the setting value, it is prevented from being detected as cheating due to the vibration, and the regular setting changing operation is performed. The inhibition can be suppressed.

  Further, in this example, the setting key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON, and the power switch 630a is operated to operate the power of the pachinko machine 1 while operating the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f to set the setting value. It will be in the state where it is possible to change (change permitted state), but when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, that is, when the change permitted state is started, via the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 The main control MPU outputs a security signal to the hall computer installed on the game hall side. In addition to this, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, that is, even when ending the change permission state, the hall computer installed on the game hall side via the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 On the other hand, the main control MPU outputs a security signal. That is, when the setting of the setting value is changed, the security signal is output twice to the hole computer after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. When a security signal from a magnetic sensor 3003 is input while monitoring the fraudulent activity by a magnet using the magnetic sensor 3003, it is determined that a fraudulent activity due to vibration is performed, or In the state where the cheating by vibration is monitored using the vibration sensor 3005, when a detection signal from the vibration sensor 3005 is input and it is determined that cheating by vibration is being performed, It is the same signal as the output signal. However, in the change permission state, which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, monitoring of the cheating using the magnetic sensor 3003 and monitoring of the cheating using the vibration sensor 3005 are not performed. Even when not monitoring such fraudulent activity, by outputting a security signal to the hall computer, it warns the monitoring of the pachinko machine 1 through the hall computer, and the set value is properly set. It is possible to make it possible for a store clerk to know through the hall computer that the setting change is being performed. That is, the hall clerk can monitor, through the hall computer, that the setting change of the setting value has not been performed by the person performing the fraudulent action through the hall computer. Also, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control MPU outputs the second security signal, and the setting change of the setting value is completed by the second security signal. Can be made known to the store clerk through the hall computer.

  The security signal may be output to the hall computer for a time that can be recognized by the hall computer, and the time from the timing t3 to the timing t3 'is short (for example, 1 second or less). It may be long time (for example, 10 seconds or more). However, if the output time of the security signal is long, the first security signal output at the time when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on at timing t3, that is, when the change permission state starts, is subsequently performed. When the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, that is, the change permission state may not be completed. That is, there is a possibility that the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at the timing t4 before the timing t3 'at which the output of the first security signal ends. As described above, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, that is, when the change permission state is ended, if the first output of the security signal is not completed, the first security is performed. After the output of the signal is completed, a second security signal is output after a predetermined interval time (for example, one second). That is, the output of the second security signal is delayed until the first output of the security signal is completed. As a result, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4, that is, at the end of the change permission state, even if the first output of the security signal is not completed, the hall computer is not Thus, the security signal can be reliably output twice.

  As another example in the case where the above-described predetermined interval period is not provided, the following may be performed. That is, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, that is, when the change permission state is ended, if the first output of the security signal is not completed, the security signal is newly added from that time. The timing may be started (the timer for counting the signal output time may be set again), and the first security signal and the second security signal may be output continuously. In this case, the security signal is output over a long period exceeding the predetermined maximum output time (output time of the first security signal), and the setting value is the same as when the second security signal is output. The store clerk can be made aware of the completion of the setting change by outputting the security signal over a long period of time. If there is no need for the store clerk to know through the hall computer that the setting change has been completed using the output mode of the security signal due to the environment of the game hall, etc., based on the operation of the predetermined changeover switch It may be possible to cancel without outputting the second security signal itself.

  As shown in FIG. 102, in the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, as in the change permission state, the monitoring of fraudulent activity using the magnetic sensor 3003 is not performed. This is because in the confirmation display state, a regular worker who performs confirmation display of the setting value operates the setting key switch 1311a, and a non-authorized worker who performs confirmation display of the setting value uses the magnet for fraudulent activity. There is no room to In addition, when performing confirmation display of the setting value, even if the authorized worker who performs the confirmation display has something that can generate magnetism, it is prevented from being detected as fraudulent activity using a magnet. It is possible to suppress the inhibition of the regular confirmation display operation.

  Further, in the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, as in the change permission state, monitoring of the cheating using the vibration sensor 3005 is not performed. This is because, in the confirmation display state, the authorized worker who performs confirmation display of the setting value operates the setting key switch 1311a, and there is room for other than the authorized worker who performs the confirmation display to perform the cheating by vibration. It is because there is not. In addition, even when a regular worker who performs the confirmation display adds vibration when performing the confirmation display of the setting value, it is prevented from being detected as cheating due to the vibration, and the regular confirmation display operation is performed. The inhibition can be suppressed.

  Further, in this example, the setting key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON, and the power switch 630a is operated to operate the power of the pachinko machine 1 without operating the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f. It will be in the state (confirmation display state) in which confirmation display can be performed, but when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, that is, when the confirmation display state is started, the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 The main control MPU outputs a security signal to the hall computer installed on the side of the game hall through. On the other hand, at the end of the change permission state, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main hall computer installed on the game hall side via the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 While the control MPU outputs a security signal, when the setting display switch 1311a is turned off at timing t4 when the confirmation display state is ended, the game hall side is set via the external terminal board 558 of the pachinko machine 1 The main control MPU does not output the security signal to the installed hall computer. That is, while the security signal is output twice to the hall computer when changing the setting of the setting value, the security signal is output to the hall computer when the confirmation display of the setting value is performed. It will output only once. Thereby, in the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing t3 to the timing t4, monitoring of the cheating using the magnetic sensor 3003 and monitoring of the cheating using the vibration sensor 3005 are not performed. Yes, even while not monitoring such fraudulent activity, by outputting a security signal to the hall computer, it warns the monitoring of the relevant pachinko machine 1 through the hall computer, and sets it to regular It is possible to have a store clerk know that the confirmation display of the value is being performed through the hall computer. That is, the hall clerk can monitor through the hall computer that the confirmation display of the setting value is not performed by the person who performs the fraudulent action through the hall computer. When the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF at timing t4, the main control MPU does not output the security signal for the second time as in the change permitted state, and thus, the setting change and the setting value of the setting value. It is possible to distinguish which has been done with the confirmation display of.

  In addition, when it is judged that an illegal act due to magnet or vibration is performed and a security signal is output to the hall computer, peripheral control is performed based on the transmission of the monitoring result from the main control MPU to the peripheral control MPU. While the notification by the image and lamp of the effect display device 1600 and the output from the speaker is performed as the external notification in the error related processing controlled by the MPU, the setting change time (change permission state) or the setting value When a security signal is output to the hall computer at the time of setting confirmation (confirmation display state), no information related to the monitoring result is sent to the peripheral control MPU, and an error related to control by the peripheral control MPU As notification from outside of the process, any notification by the output from the image, lamp, and speaker of the effect display device 1600 is performed It is as in no. This also makes it possible not to disturb the operation of the regular setting change and the confirmation display.

  In the above modification, setting is performed when the setting key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON and the pachinko machine 1 is powered on regardless of whether or not the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated. While the monitoring of fraudulent activity using the magnetic sensor 3003 or the vibration sensor 3005 is not performed until the key switch 1311a is turned OFF, the setting change of the set value and the confirmation display of the set value are not performed. You may do so. In addition, when an operation unit other than the setting key switch 1311a, the RAM clear switch 1310f, and the power switch 630a is provided and the operation of the hall clerk turns on another operation unit, the magnetic sensor 3003 or the vibration sensor 3005 is provided. It may be a period during which monitoring of fraudulent activity is not performed. Even in such a case, even when a regular worker who performs the inspection work approaches the magnet or applies vibration when performing inspection work of the pachinko machine 1, it is detected as a fraudulent act due to the magnet or the vibration. It can prevent the inhibition of regular inspection work. Also, at least at the start of a period during which monitoring of fraudulent activity is not performed using the magnetic sensor 3003 or the vibration sensor 3005, a security signal is output to the hall computer as at the start of the change permission state or the confirmation display state. Thus, it is possible to warn the monitoring of the pachinko machine 1 through the hall computer, and make it possible for the store clerk to know that the inspection work is being properly performed.

  In this example, as a magnetic sensor 3003 for detecting a fraudulent action by a magnet, a location where magnetism has occurred (a setting change board 1311 located on the rear side of the game board 5 or a setting key switch 1311 a Although one magnetic sensor capable of specifying the front of the game area 5a located on the front side of 5 is provided, a plurality of magnetic sensors are provided, for example, on the front side of the game board 5 Each of the magnetic sensors may be capable of detecting the generation of magnetism in front of the game area 5a located and around the setting change board 1311 and the setting key switch 1311a located behind the game board 5. In such a configuration, as in the configuration of the one magnetic sensor 3003 described above, monitoring of fraudulent activity using a plurality of magnetic sensors is normally performed, while a change permission state or a confirmation display state is performed. In the above, monitoring of fraudulent activity using a plurality of magnetic sensors may not be performed, but in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, some magnetic sensors (for example, setting change) among the plurality of magnetic sensors The monitoring of fraudulent activity may be performed using only the substrate 1311 and a magnetic sensor provided around the setting key switch 1311a.

  Similarly, in this example, as the vibration sensor 3005 for detecting an illegal act due to vibration, it is possible to detect the occurrence of vibration around the distribution piece 2415 inside the big winning opening 2005 provided on the game board 5 Although one vibration sensor is provided, a plurality of vibration sensors are provided, for example, a large winning opening located on the front side of the game board 5 in addition to the periphery of the distribution piece 2415 inside the large winning opening 2005 Each vibration sensor may be capable of detecting the occurrence of vibration also around the entrance other than 2005 and around the setting change board 13111 and the setting key switch 1311 a located on the rear side of the game board 5. In such a configuration, monitoring of cheating using a plurality of vibration sensors is normally performed (however, for the vibration sensors provided around the distribution piece 2415 inside the big winning opening 2005, While in the jackpot game only), in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, it is possible not to execute monitoring of fraudulent activity using a plurality of vibration sensors, but in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, It is also possible to execute monitoring of fraudulent activity using only some vibration sensors (for example, vibration sensors provided around the setting change substrate 1311 and the setting key switch 1311a) among a plurality of vibration sensors.

  In addition, it is possible to detect fraudulent acts due to magnets or vibrations during transmission of security signals immediately after the change permission status or confirmation display status has ended (immediately after monitoring of fraudulent activity has been started), and in such a case There is a concern that the fraud monitoring system may be weakened due to the inability to output an important security signal based on the detection of an action. In order to prevent such a situation, the following may be done. That is, to delay until the output period of the second security signal in the change permission state or the output period of the first security signal in the confirmation display state elapses, delay the output timing of the security signal based on the detection of fraudulent activity. It can be illustrated that the output timings of the security signal based on the detection of the fraud are not overlapped. Specifically, although the monitoring of the fraudulent activity is started immediately after the change permission state or the confirmation display state is ended, the second security signal output period in the change permission state or the first security signal in the confirmation display state When a new security signal is output (due to detection of fraud) within the output period of, the output of the security signal that has been output in advance without discarding the new security signal output The output information of the new security signal may be stored and held until the completion of the above, and the new security signal may be output in a form delayed from the original output time. According to such an embodiment, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation where the fraud monitoring system is weakened because the output of the security signal based on the detection of the original fraudulent activity is not discarded. As another example, the start time of the fraud monitoring itself is extended until the second security signal output period in the change permission state or the first security signal output period in the confirmation display state ends. It may be According to such an embodiment, the output of the security signal based on the detection of the original fraudulent behavior is not discarded, and the occurrence of a situation where the fraudulent monitoring system is weakened can be suppressed.

[14. About command transmission processing]
As described above, the main control configuration of the pachinko machine 1 is composed of the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510 attached to the game board 5, and the payout control board 633 attached to the main frame 4, Each control is shared. Among them, the main control board 1310 controls the game operation (progress of the game), while the peripheral control board 1510 controls various effects in the game based on a command from the main control board 1310. Specifically, at a predetermined timing, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 uses predetermined information of the main control built-in RAM as a variety of commands with information regarding control of game effects and information regarding the state of the pachinko machine 1 (stores commands Information on the control of the game effect and the information on the state of the pachinko machine 1 by the peripheral control board 1510 by sequentially setting the commands to the peripheral control board 1510. It can be grasped. However, when the setting value is changed or the confirmation value is displayed when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the main control built-in RAM uses various commands as information on control of game effects and information on the state of the pachinko machine 1 as various commands. While setting in the predetermined storage area, only some commands are immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 while the change permission state or confirmation display state is being executed, and the remaining commands are displayed in the change permission state or confirmation display state. After completion, the data is sent to the peripheral control board 1510.

  First, the transmission timing of the command when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 103 (A) is a time chart showing the transmission timing of the command when the pachinko machine 1 is normally powered on (when the setting change of the set value and the confirmation display of the set value are not performed). These are time charts which show the transmission timing of the command in the case where setting change of a setting value and confirmation display of a setting value are performed when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. In this example, at the start of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, at least the switch input processing in step S104 in the main control timer interrupt processing is started, and the game ball B is displayed in the various winning openings and the gate portion 2003. It is described that the main control MPU inputs detection signals from the corresponding detection sensors when entering the ball.

  As shown in FIG. 103, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on at timing t3, the main control MPU starts the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. Then, in the period from the timing t3 to the timing ty, as described in [the behavior of the pachinko machine at the time of power on], the processing of steps S10 to S24 of the main control side power on process is executed. When the ty arrives, it is determined which combination the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG and the value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG are (steps S25 to S27). When it is determined in step S25 that the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is the value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the value 1, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is By being established, the process proceeds to the setting change process of step S37, and the setting is permitted. When it is determined in step S26 that the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 0, the main control internal RAM in step S38. After initialization of, make it variable. Further, in the determination of step S27, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, the predetermined setting value display permission is permitted. When the condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to the setting value confirmation display process of step S28 to make a confirmation display state. When it is determined in step S27 that the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 0, the main control internal RAM in step S38. It is possible to make it variable without initializing it. In the variable state, as described above, the main control timer interrupt process (the special symbol and the special motorized product control process in step S114) is started by executing the interrupt permission setting in step S52, thereby displaying the function. It is a state where it becomes possible to perform the fluctuation display of the special symbol in the special symbol indicator of unit 1400.

  As described above, the peripheral control board 1510 (peripheral control MPU) starts the system that performs the drawing control of the peripheral control board 1510 before the timing ty at which the main control MPU completes the wait processing of the wait time. Since the initialization processing for booting (booting) has been completed, various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) can be received after the timing ty.

  As shown in FIG. 103 (A), the setting key switch 1311a is not turned ON at the time of timing t3, and the setting change of the set value and the confirmation display of the set value are not performed assuming that the power is turned on normally. In this case, if the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310 f is also operated at the timing t 3, then the main control built-in RAM in step S 38 is initialized from the timing ty, and then it is made variable. On the other hand, if the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated at the timing t3, the variable control can be made from the timing ty, without initializing the main control built-in RAM at step S38. In such a variable state, the main control MPU can set information on control of game effects and information on the state of the pachinko machine 1 as various commands in the command buffer of the main control built-in RAM, and those commands Is immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510.

  For example, when the main body frame 4 is open at the time of timing ty, the main control MPU sets a door open time command specifying that the main body frame 4 is open in the command buffer and opens the door As soon as the time command is set, it is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. Then, the peripheral control MPU receives the door open command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU), and the effect display device is in a period until the timing t5 at which the main frame 4 is closed comes. The door open notification is performed to notify that the main body frame 4 is open by the image of 1600, the lamp, and the output from the speaker. As the notification when the door is open, it is assumed that a sound repeating "the door is open", a message display "the door is open!", And lamp light emission with luminance higher than that of the normal time are performed. In this manner, while the main body frame 4 is opened, the hall manager can immediately grasp that the main body frame 4 is open by executing notification when the door is opened toward the outside, and the main body frame It is possible to strengthen the surveillance system so that no one other than the hall administrator can do fraudulent activities during the opening of 4.

  As shown in FIG. 103 (B), when the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON at the time of timing t3 and setting change of the set value or confirmation display of the set value is performed, the RAM is similarly displayed at time t3. When the pressing operation unit of the clear switch 1310 f is operated, the setting change setting is made possible from timing ty, while pressing operation of the RAM clear switch 1310 f at timing t3. If the unit is not operated, the confirmation display state in which the confirmation display of the set value can be performed is made from the timing ty. Then, in the change permission state, the change permission state is ended at the timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF, and after the timing t4 the initialization of the main control built-in RAM in step S38 is performed. Make it possible. On the other hand, in the confirmation display state, the confirmation display state is ended at timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF, and the main control built-in RAM in step S38 is not initialized from the time t4. Make it possible.

  In the change permission state or the confirmation display state described above, the main control MPU sets information on control of the game effect and information on the state of the pachinko machine 1 as various commands in a predetermined storage area (command buffer) of the main control internal RAM. The storage area of the main control built-in RAM to be set is made different depending on the type of the command. Specifically, at least in the change permission state and the confirmation display state, the first storage area (first command buffer) and the second storage area (second command buffer) as storage areas (command buffers) of the main control internal RAM. If a command is set in the first command buffer, the command is immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, while if a command is set in the second command buffer, the set command is set. The command set in the second command buffer is held until the timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311 is turned OFF comes immediately without transmitting to the peripheral control board 1510, and at the timing t4, the second command buffer Is sent to the peripheral control board 1510. . That is, while at least in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, a command that needs to be immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 is set in the first command buffer, while the change permission state in the second command buffer is After finishing the confirmation display state, a command that needs to be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 is set.

  In addition, except for the change permission state and the confirmation display state, the main control MPU sets information on control of the game effect and information on the state of the pachinko machine 1 in the first command buffer as various commands, and the first command buffer. When a command is set, the command is immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. That is, although the command is set in either the first command buffer or the second command buffer in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, all commands are set except for the change permission state and the confirmation display state. The command is set only in the first command buffer so as to be immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. However, if the first command buffer and the second command buffer are not divided except for the change permitted state and the confirmation display state, and the command is set in the non-classified command buffer, the command is immediately set. It may be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510.

  First, in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, as a command set in the second command buffer, a door open command for specifying that the main body frame 4 is open, a command for various winnings opening, When the game ball B enters the first start opening 2002, the second start opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, etc. or the gate unit 2003, the detection itself is detected while the input of the detection signal is invalid (abnormal entrance Abnormal ball entry command etc to identify that there was a Specifically, the door open command is set in the second command buffer when the main body frame 4 is open at timing ty, which is the start of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, and the second command When the door opening command is set in the buffer, the door opening command set in the second command buffer is held until timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF comes, and at timing t4. The door open command set in the second command buffer is sent to the peripheral control board 1510. In addition, the abnormal entry time command is set in the second command buffer when the game ball B is detected (abnormal entry) in the change permission state or the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing ty to the timing t4. If the abnormal entry command is set in the second command buffer, the abnormal entry command set in the second command buffer is held until timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311 is turned OFF comes. At timing t4, an abnormal entry time command set in the second command buffer is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510.

  Then, the peripheral control MPU receives a door open command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at the timing t4, so that the period until the timing t5 at which the main frame 4 is closed comes. The door opening notification is performed to notify that the main body frame 4 is opened by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600. As the notification when the door is open, it is assumed that a sound repeating "the door is open", a message display "the door is open!", And lamp light emission with luminance higher than that of the normal time are performed. In addition, the peripheral control MPU receives an abnormal entry time command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at the time of timing t4, whereby an image, a lamp, and a speaker of the effect display device 1600 for a predetermined period from the timing t4. An alarm is issued at the time of an abnormal ball entry to notify that there is an abnormal ball entry to the various prize winning openings and the gate unit 2003 by the output from the above. As the notification at the time of the abnormal entering, it is decided to execute a voice repeating “abnormal entering”, a message display “abnormal entering!”, And lamp light emission with luminance higher than that at the normal time. As described above, in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, it is monitored whether or not the main body frame 4 is open, and whether or not there is an abnormal ball entry in the various winning openings and the gate portion 2003, and the change permission state or confirmation After the end of the display state, the main unit frame 4 is open by executing notification when the door is open or notification when the door is abnormal for the outside, and an abnormal ball is inserted in the various winning openings and the gate portion 2003. A hole manager can grasp what happened. In addition, it is also possible to simultaneously execute notification at the time of door opening or notification at the time of abnormal ball entry after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, but a notification that a heavy fraud is suspected (for example, at the time of abnormal ball entry) Notification may be given priority and executed.

  As described above, commands related to improper monitoring such as a door open command and an abnormal prize command are set in the second command buffer in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, and the set command is immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. The command set in the second command buffer is held until transmission of the timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF without transmission, and at the time of timing t4, the command set in the second command buffer is peripheral It is made to transmit to the control board 1510. As a result, when the setting change of the setting value or the confirmation display of the setting value is performed, it is prevented that notification when opening the door or notification when entering an abnormal opening is performed by the fraud detection not intended by the hole administrator. Inhibition of

  On the other hand, in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, as a command set in the first command buffer, a setting change command that specifies that the change permission state is started, or a start of the confirmation display state There are a setting confirmation command that specifies that it is time, a setting change completion command that specifies that it is time to end the change permission state, and a setting value confirmation display completion command that specifies that it is time to end the confirmation display state. . Specifically, the setting change command is set in the first command buffer at the timing ty which is the start of the change permission state, and the setting confirmation command is at the timing ty which is the start of the confirmation display state. , And sets any command, and immediately transmits it to the peripheral control board 1510. Similarly, the setting change completion command is set in the first command buffer at timing t4 when the change permission state ends, and the setting value confirmation display completion command is at timing t4 when the confirmation display state ends. At this point, the command is set in the first command buffer, and any command is sent to the peripheral control board 1510 as soon as it is set.

  Then, the peripheral control MPU receives the setting change command and the setting confirmation command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at the timing ty, until the timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF comes. During the period, the alert notification corresponding to the type of command is executed by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600. That is, in the change permission state or the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing ty to the timing t4, the alert notification corresponding to the type of the command is executed by the image or the lamp of the effect display device 1600 and the output from the speaker. . As alert notification corresponding to the setting change command, display the sound of repeating "setting change in progress", the message "setting changing!", And execute the lamp emission in the corresponding color while changing the setting of the setting value. And Also, as the alert notification corresponding to the setting confirmation command, a voice saying "setting is being confirmed", a message saying "setting is being confirmed!", Lamp light emission in the color corresponding to the setting value setting confirmation (setting value It is supposed that the light emission mode different from the lamp light emission in the corresponding color is performed during the setting change of. As described above, in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the hole manager can perform the setting change of the setting value or the confirmation display of the setting value by executing the alert notification toward the outside. The monitoring system can be strengthened so that it can be grasped immediately and the unauthorized person or persons other than the hall administrator do not perform fraudulent actions in the change permission state or the confirmation display state.

  As described above, commands related to settings such as the setting change command and the setting confirmation command are set in the first command buffer at timing ty when the change permission state or the confirmation display state starts, and the set command is It is immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. In the change permission state or the confirmation display state, even when the main body frame 4 is opened or there is an abnormal ball entry in the various winning openings and the gate portion 2003, the door open notification is made until the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state. And because it is delayed that notification at the time of entering the ball is executed, it is a situation that is not a normal fraud monitoring system, but prior to the command set in the second command buffer, a setting change command, a setting confirmation command, etc. By sending a command related to the setting of the alarm (specific command for warning) to the peripheral control board 1510, the monitoring system is strengthened so that unauthorized persons other than the hall administrator do not act in the change permission state or the confirmation display state. be able to.

  Further, when the peripheral control MPU receives a setting change command and a setting confirmation command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at timing ty, the peripheral control MPU executes alert notification corresponding to the type of command. In the change permitted state, it is a state where it is possible to change the setting of the set value, and compared with the confirmation display state, particularly the monitoring system so that the setting change of the set value is not illegally performed by persons other than the hall administrator. However, by executing alert notification corresponding to the type of command, the hole manager can accurately determine whether it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring system.

  In addition, the peripheral control MPU executes notification when the door is opened or notification when an abnormal entry occurs when a door open command or an abnormal entry command is received from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at timing t4. However, in these notifications, not only the predetermined message content is notified by the output from the image and the lamp of the effect display device 1600 and the speaker, but also the warning sound such as "BB" is added to the sound from the speaker Output ("Door is open, BB, door is open, etc."), and is executed by the combination of "message + warning sound". On the other hand, when the setting change command or the setting confirmation command is received from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at timing ty, the alert notification corresponding to the type of the command is executed. In the notification, the content of the predetermined message is notified by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600, but the sound output from the speaker is executed only by the sound without outputting the warning sound. ing. As a result, when performing setting change of the setting value or confirming display of the setting value, even if the alert effect corresponding to the type of command is executed, it is directed to the outside compared with the notification at door opening or notification at abnormal ball entry Appeal can be suppressed and inhibition of regular work can be suppressed.

[14-1. About transmission timing of game information command]
In the embodiment described above, when the confirmation display of the set value is performed when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the process of steps S29 to S36 is performed after the set value confirmation display process of step S28. That is, at the end of the confirmation display state (at the timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF), various information is read from the game backup information in step S34, and the game information command corresponding to the various information is built in By setting it in a predetermined storage area (command buffer) of the RAM and sequentially transmitting the set gaming information command to the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral control board 1510 can also grasp information about the game before the power is shut off. be able to. As a result, after the end of the confirmation display state, the current gaming state, the fluctuation display of the special symbol interrupted at the time of turning off the power, the number of reservations stored at the time of turning off the power, etc. The peripheral control MPU grasps the peripheral control MPU, and the peripheral control MPU restores the effect by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600. For example, the variation of the decorative symbol interrupted at the time of power off The display can be resumed, or the display of the stored number of holds can be resumed when the power is turned off.

  In this respect, with regard to the game information command, the second command buffer is not at the end of the confirmation display state (at the time t4 when the setting key switch 1311 is turned OFF) but at the start time of the confirmation display state (at the time ty). When the game information command is set in the second command buffer, the game information command set in the second command buffer is held until timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311 is turned OFF comes. The game information command set in the second command buffer may be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 at timing t4. The set timing and transmission timing of the game information command in the case where such game backup information is transmitted as a game information command will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 104 is a flowchart showing a modification of the main control side power-on process. FIG. 105 (A) is a time chart showing the transmission timing of the game information command when the pachinko machine 1 is normally powered on (when the RAM clear switch 1310 f and the setting key switch 1311 a are not operated). B) is a time chart showing the transmission timing of the game information command in the case where confirmation display of the set value is performed when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  In this example, the RAM clear switch 1310 f is not operated when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and the game backup information is transmitted as a game information command. However, the RAM is switched on when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. When the clear switch 1310 f is operated to initialize the main control built-in RAM or to change the setting of the set value, it is cleared in step S 38 except for the specific area in the entire area of the main control built-in RAM. The game backup information is lost, and the game backup information is not transmitted as a game information command.

  As shown in FIG. 104, in the main control power-on process of this example, the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1 in the determination of step S26. If it is determined that the value is not 0, first, the processes of steps S29 to S36 are performed. In the process of steps S29 to S36, in step 32, various information is read out from the game backup information, and a game information command corresponding to the various information is set in a predetermined storage area (command buffer) of the main control built-in RAM. There is. Then, following the processing of steps S29 to S36, it is determined whether the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1 (step S27). In the determination of step S27, the main control MPU determines that the preset setting display permission condition is satisfied, assuming that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1. If it is determined that there is, the set value confirmation display process is performed (step S28). That is, the processing of step S32 is performed before the setting value confirmation display processing of step S28 is performed, various information is read out from the game backup information, and the game information command corresponding to the various information is stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control internal RAM. It is set in (command buffer). When the processing of steps S29 to S36 is performed after the setting value confirmation display processing of step S28, the time for calculating the checksum in step S29 or the value (sum value) of the checksum in step S30 is Resumption of the game will be delayed by the amount of time to determine whether it matches the value (sum value) of the checksum stored in the main control side power off process (power off). By performing the processing of steps S29 to S36 before performing the setting value confirmation display processing of step S28, shortening the time until the game is resumed after performing the setting value confirmation display processing of step S28. Will be able to

  As shown in FIG. 105A, in the case of normal power-on, that is, in the case where the RAM clear switch 1310 f and the setting key switch 1311 a are not operated at time t3, step It is made variable without initializing the main control built-in RAM of S38. The main control MPU sets game backup information as a game information command in a predetermined storage area of the main control built-in RAM at a timing ty at the start of such a variable state, and immediately sets the game information command. It will be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. Accordingly, the peripheral control MPU quickly restores the effect (the output from the effect display device 1600, the image, the lamp, and the speaker) at the time of turning off the power at timing ty, which is the start of the changeable state. be able to.

  In addition, when the peripheral control MPU receives a game information command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at the time of timing ty, a rendering member (for example, rendering operation) mounted on the main body frame 4 or the game board 5 The initial operation of the portion 160 and the plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3210 is performed. That is, from the time point of timing ty, which is the start time of the variable state, the initial operation of the effect members (for example, the effect operation unit 160 and the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210) mounted on the main unit frame 4 and the game board 5 is It has been done. Each of such effect members is a member capable of operating between the initial position and the operation position, and in the initial operation of the effect members, the effect members normally operate from the initial position toward the operation position It is supposed that the confirmation of the position, the accurate alignment, etc. are performed so that the effect member stands by at the initial position. As a result, even if the effect member is at a position shifted from the initial position at the time of timing ty which is the start of the variable state, the effect member can be returned to the initial position by performing the initial operation, When the effect member does not return to the initial position in one initial operation, the control for the effect member to return to the initial position is repeated several times, and the effect member stands by at a position deviated from the initial position. It can be prevented. And, after the end of the initial operation of the effect member, it is possible to execute the effect using the effect member. For example, when the variation pattern in which the effect using the rendering member is set during the symbol variation is transmitted as the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control substrate 1310 to the peripheral control substrate 1510, the predetermined symbol variation is The timing at which the effect member is moved from the initial position to the operating position.

  As shown in FIG. 105 (B), when the confirmation display of the setting value is performed, that is, the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON at timing t3, and the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated. If not, from the time of timing ty, the confirmation display state in which the confirmation display of the set value can be performed is made. Then, in the confirmation display state, the confirmation display state is ended at timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF, and the main control built-in RAM in step S38 is not initialized from the time t4. Make it possible. In such a case, the main control MPU sets game backup information as a game information command in the second command buffer at the timing ty at which the confirmation display state starts, and the game information command in the second command buffer. The game is set in the second command buffer until timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF arrives without immediately transmitting the set game information command to the peripheral control board 1510. The information command is held, and at timing t4, the game information command set in the second command buffer is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. Thus, the peripheral control MPU may restore the effect (the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600) at the time of turning off the power at the timing ty which is the start of the changeable state. it can.

  As described above, the game information command is set in the second command buffer at the timing ty, which is the start time of the confirmation display state, without immediately transmitting the set game information command to the peripheral control board 1510, The game information command set in the second command buffer is held until timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF comes, and peripheral control of the game information command set in the second command buffer is performed at timing t4. Transmission to the substrate 1510 is performed. Thereby, when the confirmation display of the setting value is performed, it is prevented that the effect at the time when the power is shut off (image from the effect display device 1600 and the output from the lamp and the speaker) is restored, and the normal operation is inhibited. It can be suppressed. In addition, since the game backup information is already set in the second command buffer as a game information command at the timing ty at the start of the confirmation display state, in the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing ty to the timing t4. Even if noise is generated and the game backup information is destroyed, the game information command can be reliably transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510.

  The setting confirmation command is set in the first command buffer at timing ty, which is the start time of the confirmation display state, and the setting confirmation command thus set is immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. Then, when the peripheral control MPU receives a setting confirmation command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at the time of timing ty, a rendering member (for example, rendering operation) mounted on the main body frame 4 or the game board 5 The initial operation of the portion 160 and the plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3210 is performed. That is, in the confirmation display state which is a period from timing t3 to timing t4, the initial operation of the effect members (for example, the effect operation unit 160 and the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210) mounted on the main frame 4 or the game board 5 Has been done. Each of such effect members is a member capable of operating between the initial position and the operation position, and in the initial operation of the effect members, the effect members normally operate from the initial position toward the operation position It is supposed that the confirmation of the position, the accurate alignment, etc. are performed so that the effect member stands by at the initial position. As a result, even if the effect member is at a position shifted from the initial position at the time of timing ty which is the start time of the confirmation display state, the effect member can be returned to the initial position by performing the initial operation. When the effect member does not return to the initial position in one initial operation, the control for the effect member to return to the initial position is repeated several times, and the effect member stands by at a position deviated from the initial position. It can be prevented. Then, after the end of the confirmation display state at the timing t4, it is possible to execute an effect using the effect member. For example, when the variation pattern in which the effect using the rendering member is set during the symbol variation is transmitted as the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control substrate 1310 to the peripheral control substrate 1510, the predetermined symbol variation is The timing at which the effect member is moved from the initial position to the operating position.

  As described above, after the end of the confirmation display state at the timing t4, it is possible to transmit the variation pattern command from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510, while it is a period from the timing ty to the timing t4. In the confirmation display state, the fluctuation pattern is not transmitted. For this reason, in the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing ty to the timing t4, the effect member does not operate by transmitting the fluctuation pattern in which the effect using the effect member is set during the symbol fluctuation. It can not be determined whether or not it is not operating due to a failure of the effect member. In this point, in the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing ty to the timing t4, the initial stage of the effect members (for example, the effect operation unit 160 and the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210) mounted on the main body frame 4 or the game board 5 By performing the operation, it can be notified to the outside that "the effect member is normal but not in connection with the game", and it can be determined that it is not a malfunction of the effect member. In this example, the initial operation of the effect member is performed in the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing ty to the timing t4, but the operation is performed to notify that the effect member is not a failure. For example, in the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing ty to the timing t4, only the temporary operation of the effect member is performed separately from the initial operation, and after the confirmation display state at the timing t4 ends. The initial operation of the effect member may be performed. The provisional operation of the effect member may be an operation different from the initial operation or may be the same operation as the initial operation.

  When setting change of the setting value is performed, the setting change command is set in the first command buffer at timing ty when the change permission state starts, and the set change command is immediately set to the peripheral control board 1510. Sent to. Then, when the peripheral control MPU receives the setting change command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at the timing ty, the peripheral control MPU is mounted on the main frame 4 or the game board 5 as when the setting confirmation command is received. The initial operation of the rendering member (for example, the rendering operation unit 160 and the plurality of rotating ornaments 3210) is being performed. As described above, even in the change permission state, which is a period from the timing ty to the timing t4, the effect members mounted on the main body frame 4 and the game board 5 (for example, the effect operation unit 160 and a plurality of By performing the initial operation of the rotating decorative body 3210), it can be notified to the outside that "the effect member is normal but not in a state accompanying the game", and it is not a malfunction of the effect member It can be determined.

[14-2. About extension of alert notification after the end of change permission state and confirmation display state]
In the above embodiment, in the change permission state or the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing ty to the timing t4, the alert notification corresponding to the type of the command is performed by the image from the effect display device 1600 and the output from the lamp and the speaker. Although it is executed, the alert notification may be extended and executed even after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state. A case where the alert notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 106 is a time chart showing a case where the alert notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state.

  As shown in FIG. 106, the details have been described above, but at the start of the change permission state at timing ty, the setting change command is set in the first command buffer, and at the start of the confirmation display state at timing ty, the first command A setting confirmation command is set in the buffer, and any command is immediately transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as it is set. Then, the peripheral control MPU receives the setting change command and the setting confirmation command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at the timing ty, until the timing t4 when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF comes. During the period, the alert notification corresponding to the type of command is executed by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600.

  In addition, at the end of the change permission state at timing t4, the setting change completion command is set in the first command buffer, and at the start of the confirmation display state at timing t4, the setting value confirmation display completion command is set in the first command buffer. When any command is set, it is sent to the peripheral control board 1510 immediately. At this time, the peripheral control MPU receives a setting change completion command and a setting value confirmation display completion command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at timing t4, and then a predetermined time (for example, During the period until the timing t4 'when 30 seconds has elapsed, the alert notification in progress is continuously executed from the timing ty by the output from the image, lamp, and speaker of the effect display device 1600. There is. That is, in the change permission state or the confirmation display state which is the period from the timing ty to the timing t4, the alert notification corresponding to the type of command is executed, but the timing is also after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state. The alert notification is extended and executed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) which is a period from t4 to timing t4 '. The extension of the alert notification is set by setting an extension end condition of the alert notification and satisfying the set extension end condition. Specifically, when ending in a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) as an extension period of alert notification, the predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) is set in a specific timer unit, and the timer unit counts a predetermined time And end by the expiration of time. Also, as another example, when ending with a predetermined number of voice announcements (for example, a loop of 5 message voices) as an extension period of alert notification, the predetermined number is set in a specific count unit, and the count The program may end when the unit starts counting a predetermined number of times and becomes expired.

  As described above, at the time of execution of the change permission state and the confirmation display state, not only the period from the timing ty to the timing t4 but also a timing t4 'where a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed from the timing t4 comes. Until the period, alert notification is extended and executed. For example, in the case of executing alert notification only when the change permission state or the confirmation display state is executed, in a short time (for example, 1 to 2 seconds) from the timing ty at which the change permission state or the confirmation display state starts. If the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF, the time for executing alert notification, which is the period from timing ty to timing t4, becomes short. If the confirmation display is performed, the hall administrator may not notice. In particular, when the confirmation display of the setting value is performed, since it is not necessary to change the setting of the setting value, it is possible for the person other than the hole manager to perform the confirmation display of the setting value improperly in a short time. People may not notice. On the other hand, when alert notification is extended and executed even after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, a short time (for example, 1) from the timing ty at the start of the change permission state or the confirmation display state. Even when the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF in 2 seconds), a period from the timing t4 to the timing t4 'is secured as the time for executing alert notification. For this reason, even if a person other than the hole manager illegally changes the setting of the setting value or confirms the setting value in a short time, the hole administrator is easily noticed and the person other than the hole administrator performs the wrongdoing Can strengthen the surveillance system so that there is no

  Further, as described above in detail, in the change permission state or the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing ty to the timing t4, the alert corresponding to the type of the command by the output from the image, the lamp and the speaker of the effect display device 1600. The notification is being performed. As alert notification corresponding to the setting change command, display the sound of repeating "setting change in progress", the message "setting changing!", And execute the lamp emission in the corresponding color while changing the setting of the setting value. And Also, as the alert notification corresponding to the setting confirmation command, a voice of "setting is being confirmed", a message of "setting is being confirmed!", And lamp lighting in the color corresponding to the setting confirmation is performed. It is supposed to be. When the alert notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the message content of the alert notification in the change permission state or the confirmation display state may be maintained, but the change permission is permitted. The message content may be different from the status or the confirmation display status. For example, in the alert notification after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the message content different from the message content in the change permission state or the confirmation display state is “setting change completed” or “setting confirmation completed It may be configured to loop and output a message such as "I have done it." As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the hole manager to notice that the case is regularly ended in the change permission state or the confirmation display state as well as the countermeasure against the above-mentioned fraudulent activity. Moreover, when maintaining the message content of the alert notification in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, it is made to prevent a temporary disconnection of the notification at t4, which is the switching timing with the extension of the alert notification. It is also good. For example, at least the sound output from the speaker in the alert notification executed corresponding to the type of the command in the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the continuous output until the sound is completed so as not to end halfway As to the voice in the alert notification to be extended and controlled, it can be exemplified to execute again from the beginning of the voice after completion of the voice of the alert notification that has been continuously output.

  In addition, for alert notification, the predetermined message content is notified by the output from the image and lamp of the effect display device 1600 and the speaker, but for the sound output from the speaker, the notification when opening the door and the notification when abnormal entering the door It does not output warning sound such as "Bee Bie" which is output as, and is executed only by voice. Moreover, in the change permission state or confirmation display state which is a period from timing ty to timing t4, it is impossible to change display of the special symbol on the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400. On the other hand, after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state which is a period from timing ty to timing t4, it becomes a changeable state capable of performing the fluctuation display of the special symbol in the special symbol display of the function display unit 1400, For example, when the variation pattern command is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510, various effect sounds are output from the speakers. In this respect, even when warning notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the speaker is provided in a limited manner to output sound by not outputting the warning sound from the speaker as the warning notification. When there is room in the limited channels provided for the purpose of outputting various effect sounds, there is no space (unused channel) in the limited channels. Can be avoided as much as possible.

  In addition, when the alert notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the peripheral control MPU receives a command at the time of opening the door from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at time t4, The time command is received, but the door is opened from timing t4 'which is the end time of the alert notification executed and extended without executing notification at door opening or notification at abnormal ball entry at timing t4. We are performing notification when it is time and notification of abnormal arrival. That is, when the alert notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the extended alert notification is executed with priority over the notification at the door opening or the notification at the abnormal ball entry. As a result, even if a person other than the hole manager illegally changes the setting of the setting value or confirms the setting value in a short time, the hole administrator can give priority to the extended alert notification. It is easy to notice that you can strengthen the surveillance system so that no one other than a hall administrator can cheat. In addition, about notice (for example, notice at the time of abnormal ball entry) which is suspected of severe fraud, it is not in time of timing t4 'which is the end time of the alert notice executed by extension, but in the execution of extended alert notice However, it may be performed at timing t4.

  In addition, for notification when the door is open or notification when an error occurs, not only the predetermined message content is notified by the output from the image or lamp of the effect display device 1600 or the speaker, but also the warning sound such as "Bee Bie" from the speaker Is output and executed by the combination of "message + warning sound". The notification when the door is opened and the notification when the ball is abnormal are continuously output during execution of the notification when the door is opened and the notification when the ball is abnormal, but the configuration is such that the predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) is output. It may be However, in this example, since notification at the time of door opening or notification at the time of abnormal entry is executed from the time of timing t4 ′ at the end of the alert notification performed and extended, for example, extension time of the alert notification (timing If the period from t4 to timing t4 ') is longer or the same as the output time (for example, 10 seconds) of the door open notification and abnormal lock notification, the door open notification and error Notification when entering will not be output. In consideration of the problem caused by the decrease in the notification frequency, the extension time of alert notification (period from timing t4 to timing t4 ′) is longer than or equal to the output time of warning sound (for example, 10 seconds) You may be configured to output the notification at the time of opening the door or notification at the time of abnormal entering of the door only for the remaining time after the extension time of the alert notification among the output time of the notification at the door opening and the notification at the abnormal entering. . Further, the notification at the door opening or the notification at the abnormal entering may be newly started after the extension time of the alert notification.

  Also, when the alert notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the door open notification is executed from time t4 'when the extended alert notification ends. When the timing t5 at which the body frame 4 is closed comes before the timing t4 ', notification at the time of opening the door is not performed. That is, when the main unit frame 4 is closed during execution of the extended alert notification, notification when the door is opened is not performed. However, if the main unit frame 4 is closed during execution of the extended alert notification and the main unit frame 4 is opened again before the timing t4 ′, the extended alert notification is ended and notification when the door is opened Running. Normally, after the setting change of the set value and the confirmation display of the set value, the main body frame 4 is only closed and the main body frame 4 is not opened again. If a mysterious situation occurs in which the main unit frame 4 is opened again immediately after the setting change of the setting or the confirmation display of the setting value occurs, alert notification at the door opening consisting of a combination of "message + warning sound" It is easy for the hole administrator to notice that the main frame 4 is open due to a mysterious situation in which there is a suspicion of fraud etc., and the situation where the main frame 4 is open is continued by priority execution. Can strengthen the surveillance system so that there is no

  Further, although the details are described above, monitoring of fraudulent activity using the magnetic sensor 3003 or the vibration sensor 3005 is not performed in the change permission state or the confirmation display state which is a period from the timing ty to the timing t4. In contrast, after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, monitoring of fraudulent activity using the magnetic sensor 3003 or the vibration sensor 3005 is performed (however, regarding monitoring of fraudulent activity using the vibration sensor 3005) , Only during the jackpot game). Then, when it is determined that the injustice due to the magnet or the vibration is performed, the informing of the injustice by the output from the image, the lamp, and the speaker of the effect display device 1600 is executed as the external notification. At this time, even in the case where the alert notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the unauthorized notification is executed with priority over the extended alert notification. In this way, it is easy for a hole administrator to notice by giving priority to an extended alert notification that a fraudulent notification such as a magnet or vibration is suspected to be a serious fraud, and it is possible for other than the hole administrator to perform fraudulent activity. Can strengthen the surveillance system.

  Also, in the alert notification, the predetermined message content is notified by the image or the lamp of the effect display device 1600 and the output from the speaker, but for example, the predetermined message content is notified by the output from the lamp and the speaker, and the effect display The image of the device 1600 may not be output. As described above, in the configuration in which alert notification is performed using a part of the plurality of notification members (effect display device 1600, lamp, speaker), alert notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state. In the case, it is not output from the image of the effect display device 1600 as an alert alert during extension, but is output as an alert alert during extension if it is determined that a cheating by magnet or vibration is being performed. The fraud notification may be performed only by the image of the effect display device 1600 (in the notification using only the notification members not in use among the plurality of notification members). Thereby, when the alert notification is extended and executed after the end of the change permission state or the confirmation display state, the hole administrator may be made aware of the injustice notification suspected of being unfair, without stopping the extended alert notification. it can. In addition, also about notification at the time of door opening and notification at the time of abnormal prize similarly (only the notification member which is not used out of a plurality of notification members by only the image of the effect display device 1600 which is not output as a warning notification under extension) The notification at the time of opening the door or the notification at the time of abnormal winning may be executed by the notification used.

  Also, in this example, the alert notification is extended and executed regardless of whether the change permission status or the confirmation display status has ended, but the alert alert is extended and executed only after the confirmation display status has ended. It may be configured to For example, when changing the setting of the setting value, initialize the main control internal RAM after the end of the change permission state (in step S38, clear the specific area of the main control internal RAM except for the specific area). However, the peripheral control MPU receives a setting change completion command from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) at timing t4, so that a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed from the timing t4. During the period until the timing t4 'comes, a configuration that executes RAM clear notification to notify that RAM clear has occurred instead of extension of the alert effect by the output from the image, lamp, and speaker of the effect display device 1600. It may be Thus, after the end of the change permission state, the hole manager can grasp that the RAM has been cleared.
