The way of hitting the game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area 6L is called the left strike. On the other hand, how to hit the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area 6R is called a right hit. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, the channel through which the gaming ball flows down when playing left is called the first channel R1, and the channel along which the gaming ball flows down when playing right , And the second flow path R2.

  On the first flow passage R1, a first starting opening 11, a general winning opening 10, a power tube 12D, and an out opening 19 are provided. The player can aim for winning in the first starting opening 11 and the general winning opening 10 by striking the gaming ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1. In addition, since the gate is not arrange | positioned on 1st flow path R1, when it is left-handed, electric chow 12D is not open | released.

  On the other hand, on the second flow path R2, the gate 13, the general winning opening 10, the big winning device 14D, the electric chew 12D, and the out opening 19 are provided. The player may aim to pass through the gate 13 or to win the general winning opening 10, the second starting opening 12, and the big winning opening 14 by striking the gaming ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2. it can.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, at the lower right portion of the game board 1, indicators 8 are disposed. As shown in FIG. 3, the display 8 has a first special view display 81a for variably displaying the first special symbol, a second special view display 81b for variably displaying the second special symbol, and a normal symbol A common drawing display 82 for variably displaying (common drawing) is included. The first special symbol is also referred to as a first special figure or special figure 1 and the second special symbol is also referred to as a second special figure or special figure 2. In addition, it is also known that the ordinary design is a common figure.

  In addition, the first special view hold indicator 83a and the second special view indicator 81b are displayed on the display unit 8 to display the number of memories of the first special view indicator 81a (the first special view hold). A second special view hold display 83b for displaying the number of storages (second special view hold) and a general view hold display 84 for displaying the number of operation hold (general view hold) s of the common view display 82 are included. It is done.

  The variable display of the first special symbol is triggered by the winning of the game ball to the first starting opening 11 as a trigger. The variable display of the second special symbol is triggered by the winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 12 as a trigger. In the following description, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol (special image). The first special view display 81 a and the second special view display 81 b may be collectively referred to as a special view display 81. Also, the first special view hold indicator 83a and the second special view hold indicator 83b may be collectively referred to as a special view hold indicator 83. Also, there are cases where the first special view hold and the second special view hold are collectively called special view hold.

  In the special view display 81, the special symbol is variably displayed (variation display) and then stopped to display the lottery based on the winning of the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 (special symbol lottery, big hit lottery) Report the result. The special symbols (stop symbols, special symbols derived and displayed as display results of variable display) to be stopped and displayed are one special symbol selected from among a plurality of types of special symbols by special symbol lottery. In the case where the stop symbol is a predetermined special symbol (a special symbol of a specific stop mode, ie, a big hit symbol), the open pattern according to the type of the specified special symbol (that is, the type of jackpot won) is displayed. A big hit game (an example of a special game) for opening the big winning opening 14 is performed. In addition, the opening pattern of the special winning opening in the special game will be described later.

  Specifically, the special view display 81 is constituted of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special symbol according to the result of the big hit lottery by its lighting mode is there. For example, when a jackpot (one of a plurality of jackpots described later) is won, "○○ ●● ○○ ●●" (○: on, ●: off), etc. We display the jackpot design that the fifth and sixth LED lights up. In addition, when there is a loss, a lost design in which only the LED at the rightmost side is lighted is displayed as "● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●". You may employ | adopt the aspect which makes all the LED light-extinguish as a lost design. The lost design is not a special special symbol. Moreover, before the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the variation display of the special symbol is performed over a predetermined variation time, but in the variation display mode, each LED is lighted so that light repeatedly flows from the left to the right, for example It is an aspect of In the mode of the variable display, all the LEDs may be flashed at the same time unless each LED is stopped (displayed in a specific mode).

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a winning (entering) of the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12, values of various random numbers such as jackpot random numbers acquired for the winning (numerical information The determination information) is temporarily stored in the below-mentioned special view reserve storage unit 105. In detail, if it is a winning to the first starting opening 11, it is stored in the first special view reservation storage unit 105a as a first special view reservation, and if it is a winning to the second starting opening 12, the second special It is memorize | stored in the below-mentioned 2nd special figure reservation memory | storage part 105b as a figure reservation. There is an upper limit to the number of special drawing reservations that can be stored in each special drawing reservation storage unit 105, and the upper limit value in this embodiment is “4”.

  The special view reserve stored in the special view reserve storage unit 105 is digested when the variable display of the special symbol based on the special view reserve becomes possible. The special figure reserve digest means determining the jackpot random number etc. corresponding to the special figure reserve, and executing the variable display of the special symbol for showing the determination result. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special symbol based on the winning of the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 can not be performed immediately after the winning, ie, the execution of the variable display of the special symbol Even when there is a prize during the middle game or during the execution of the special game, the jackpot lottery right to the prize can be reserved with the predetermined number as the upper limit.

  Then, the number of such special feature reservations is displayed on the special feature reservation display 83. Specifically, each of the special view hold displays 83 is configured of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of the special view hold by lighting the LEDs for the number of the special view hold.

  The variable display of the normal symbol is triggered by the passage of the gaming ball to the gate 13. In the common pattern display 82, the result of the normal symbol lottery based on the passage of the game ball to the gate 13 is notified by displaying the normal symbol in a variable display (variable display) and then stopping the display. The normal symbols stop-displayed (a common figure stop symbol, a normal symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) are one normal symbol selected from among a plurality of types of normal symbols by normal symbol lottery. In the case where the stop-displayed normal symbol is a predetermined specified normal symbol (a normal symbol in a predetermined stop mode, that is, a normal hit symbol), the second starting opening 12 is opened with an opening pattern according to the current gaming state. Auxiliary games are played. The opening pattern of the second start opening 12 will be described later.

  Specifically, the common view display 82 is configured of, for example, two LEDs (see FIG. 3), and displays a normal symbol according to the result of the normal symbol lottery according to the lighting mode. For example, when the lottery result is a hit, a normal hit symbol with both LEDs turned on is displayed, such as "○" (○: on, ●: off). In addition, when the lottery result is a loss, a normal loss symbol in which only the right LED is lit is displayed as "● ○". You may employ | adopt the aspect which makes all the LED light-extinguish as normal loss design. In addition, the usual lost design is not a specific normal design. The normal symbol variation display is performed over a predetermined variation time before the normal symbol display is stopped and displayed, but the variation display mode is, for example, a mode in which both LEDs light alternately. In the mode of the variable display, all the LEDs may be flashed at the same time unless each LED is stopped (displayed in a specific mode).

  In this pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a passage of the game ball to the gate 13, the value of the normal symbol random number (per random number) acquired for the passage is held as a common drawing reservation in the common drawing reservation storage unit 106 described later. It is memorized once. There is an upper limit to the number of common drawing reservations that can be stored in the common drawing reservation storage unit 106, and the upper limit in this embodiment is "4".

  The common drawing reserve stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 106 is digested when the variable display of the normal symbol based on the common drawing reserve becomes possible. Digestion of a common drawing reserve refers to determination of a normal symbol random number (hit random number) corresponding to the common drawing reserve, and execution of variable display of a normal symbol to indicate the determination result. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the normal symbol based on the passage of the game ball to the gate 13 can not be performed immediately after the passage, that is, winning during the execution of the variable display of the normal symbol or the auxiliary game. Even in the case where there is a problem, it is possible to reserve the right of the normal symbol lottery for the passage with the predetermined number as the upper limit.

  Then, the number of such common drawing reservations is displayed on the common drawing reservation display 84. Specifically, the common drawing hold display 84 is constituted of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of common drawing hold by lighting the LEDs for the number of common drawing hold.

2. Configuration of Rear Unit Next, the rear unit 1B will be described based on FIGS. 4 to 13. The back surface unit 1B is a unit attached to the immediately rear (rear side) of the plate-like member 1A of the game board 1 as described above (see FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 4, the rear unit 1 B includes an assembly base 200 disposed on the rear side, a logo unit 300 (decorative means) assembled on the lower side of the assembly base 200, and the assembly base 200. A left side light emitting unit 400L and a right side light emitting unit 400R that are assembled on the left and right sides are provided. The rear unit 1B is also provided with two triangular plate movable bodies 55k at the upper and lower sides in the center in the left-right direction. The plate movable body 55k can rotate around the axis center Q1 from the stopped state.

  Here, based on FIGS. 5-9, the structure of the logo unit 300 is demonstrated in detail. This embodiment is characterized in that "GIDREAM" which is an integral design is formed by the decoration applied to the logo unit 300 and the decoration applied to the big winning device unit 14U (see FIG. 2). "GIDREAM" indicates the model name of the pachinko gaming machine PY1.

  Logo unit 300 has main part 301 (decorative part) which forms the design of "GIDRE" and the design of the upper part of "AM" among the designs of "GIDREAM", as shown in FIG. 5 (A). . The logo unit 300 has a recess 302 in the lower right portion, which is recessed rearward with respect to the main body 301. The recessed portion 302 (recessed portion) is for fitting the big winning device unit 14U in the front-rear direction. That is, when the logo unit 300 and the big winning device unit 14U are arranged to overlap in the front-rear direction, the hollow portion 302 can suppress an increase in the length in the front-rear direction.

  In the present embodiment, the main body portion 301 (decorative portion) means a portion of the entire logo unit 300 excluding the lower right portion. On the other hand, the recessed portion 302 (recessed portion) means the lower right portion of the logo unit 300, and does not mean only the surface recessed backward.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the logo unit 300 of this embodiment has a large length in the left-right direction. Specifically, the length L1 in the left-right direction of the logo unit 300 is about 430 mm, and the maximum length L2 in the left-right direction of the center frame 61 (the length between the left end 61L and the right end 61R of the center frame 61) Greater than L2). Thus, by making the logo unit 300 longer in the left-right direction than the existing logo members, it is possible to enhance the impact as a decoration. Then, the logo unit 300 and the big winning device unit 14U form "GIDREAM" which is a large design in the left-right direction (see FIG. 2). Thereby, it is possible to strongly appeal the player to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 (especially, the model name).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the logo unit 300 is provided with two communication openings 10R through which game balls can pass. Each communication port 10R (the ball entry area) is in communication with the general winning opening 10 (two general winning openings 10 disposed at the lower left portion of FIG. 2). In each communication port 10R, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), a general winning port sensor 10a (a ball-in detecting means) is disposed. Therefore, the gaming ball having entered the general winning opening 10 is detected by the general winning opening sensor 10 a of the logo unit 300 through the communication port 10 R of the logo unit 300. Thus, even if the large logo unit 300 is disposed in the left-right direction (see FIG. 2), the communication port 10R and the general winning port sensor 10a communicating with the general winning port 10 are provided in the logo unit 300 itself. It is possible to prevent the situation where the arrangement space for the general winning opening sensor 10a can not be secured.

  Next, each component of the logo unit 300 will be described based on FIGS. 6 and 7. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the logo unit 300 includes a base member 310, an LED substrate 320 for logos, a reflector 330, an inner lens 340, a sheet 350, an outer lens 360, and a partial lens 370. A case 380 is provided.

  The base member 310 is a flat plate member on which each component of the logo unit 300 is assembled, and is disposed at the rearmost position in the logo unit 300. The base member 310 is made of transparent synthetic resin, and is attached to the lower end portion of the assembly base 200 (see FIG. 4) on the rear surface.

  The logo LED substrate 320 is a substrate on which the logo LED 321 is mounted, and is attached to the front surface of the base member 310 via a screw. A large number of logo LEDs 321 are arranged on the entire front surface of the logo LED substrate 320. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, each logo LED 321 is arranged to trace the letters “GIDREAM”. Each logo LED 321 emits (emits) light mainly in the forward direction by emitting light. The logo LED 321 of the present embodiment is capable of emitting white light. The logo LED substrate 320 and the logo LED 321 correspond to “light emitting means”.

  The reflector 330 reflects the light emitted from the logo LED 321. That is, the reflector 330 prevents the light emitted from the logo LED 321 from leaking excessively to the outside. The reflector 330 has a length (thickness) in the front-rear direction to a certain extent, and the peripheral wall forms the character part of "GIDRE" and the upper part of the character of "AM". Then, in a state where the reflector 330 is mounted on the front surface of the logo LED substrate 320, the reflector LED surrounding the logo LED 321 disposed so as to trace the upper part of the characters "GIDRE" and "AM" is surrounded. In the reflector 330, the lower right portion is cut away so as to correspond to the above-described recessed portion 302 (to secure a space for arranging the big winning device 14D).

  The inner lens 340 (rear lens member) diffuses the light emitted from the logo LED 321 inside, and is accommodated in the reflector 330. The inner lens 340 has a certain length (thickness) in the front-rear direction, and is made of a transparent synthetic resin. The inner lens 340 is in the form of a cover and forms the character portion of "GIDRE" and the upper portion of the character of "AM". The lower right portion of the inner lens 340 is cut away so as to correspond to the above-described recessed portion 302 (to secure a space for arranging the big winning device 14D).

  In the inner lens 340 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the lens cut 341 is applied to the front surface except for the peripheral portion. That is, in the portion where the lens cut 341 is formed, the character portion of "GIDRE" and the upper portion of the character of "AM" are formed. The lens cut 341 has a small square mosaic pattern aligned vertically and horizontally. Thus, the lens cut 341 is applied to the inner lens 340, so that the inner lens 340 can further diffuse light. As a result, it is possible to light the "GIDRE" character part and the upper part of the "AM" character clearly. In addition, a lens cut is the part in which the process (for example, uneven process) was given specially, in order to improve the diffusion effect of light.

  Sheet 350 (sheet member) is a thin sheet forming the upper part of the character part of "GIDRE" and the character of "AM", and is accommodated in reflector 330 in a state of being placed on the front surface of inner lens 340 . The sheet 350 has an outer portion 351 contoured by the character portion of "GIDRE" and the upper portion of the character of "AM", and an inner portion 352 inside the outer portion 351. The lower right portion of the sheet 350 is cut away so as to correspond to the recess 302 described above.

  The outer portion 351 is colored red. Therefore, when looking at the logo unit 300, it is possible to make the outer part of the character part of "GIDRE" and the upper part of the character of "AM" stand out in red (see FIG. 2). The inner portion 352 forms a character portion of “GIDRE” and an upper portion of characters of “AM”, and has substantially the same size as the lens cut 341 of the inner lens 340. The inner portion 352 is transparent so as to easily transmit light, and is placed corresponding to the position of the lens cut 341 of the inner lens 340. In this way it is possible to make the light from the lens cut 341 easy to be emitted forward through the transparent inner portion 352.

  The outer lens 360 (front lens member) diffuses the light emitted from the logo LED 321 inside, and is accommodated in the reflector 330 together with the sheet 350 and the inner lens 340. That is, the sheet 350 is disposed between the outer lens 360 and the inner lens 340. The outer lens 360 is made of a transparent synthetic resin, and has a flat plate shape, and forms the character portion of "GIDRE" and the upper portion of the character of "AM". In the outer lens 360, the lower right portion is cut away so as to correspond to the above-described recessed portion 302 (in order to secure a space for arranging the big winning device 14D). The outer lens 360 and the above-described inner lens 340 correspond to the “first lens portion” provided in the decorative portion.

  In the outer lens 360 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the lens cut 361 is applied mainly to the rear surface except for the peripheral portion. That is, in the portion where the lens cut 361 is formed, the character portion of "GIDRE" and the upper portion of the character of "AM" are formed. The lens cut 361 has a small square mosaic pattern aligned vertically and horizontally. Thus, the lens cut 361 is applied to the outer lens 360, so that the light can be further diffused by the outer lens 360. The lens cut 361 has substantially the same size as the inner portion 352 of the sheet 350 and the lens cut 341 of the inner lens 340, and is disposed so as to overlap in the front-rear direction. Thus, light emitted from the logo LED 321 is diffused by both the lens cut 341 of the inner lens 340 and the lens cut 361 of the outer lens 360. As a result, it is possible to make the character part of "GIDRE" and the upper part of the character of "AM" shine more vividly.

  The partial lens 370 diffuses the light emitted from the logo LED 321 internally, and as shown in FIG. 6, is mounted on the lower right portion 322 (see the dashed dotted line in FIG. 6) of the logo LED substrate 320. Be done. That is, the partial lens 370 is disposed in the above-described depression portion 302. The partial lens 370 is held by the lower right portion 322 of the case 380 on the front side, as shown in FIG. The partial lens 370 is made of a transparent synthetic resin, and forms a portion (hereinafter referred to as an “AM remaining portion”) excluding the upper portion of the characters “AM”. The partial lens 370 corresponds to the “second lens portion” provided in the recess.

  In the partial lens 370 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the lens cut 371 is applied to the rear surface mainly except for the peripheral portion. That is, the "AM remaining portion" is formed at the portion where the lens cut 371 is applied. The lens cut 371 has a small square mosaic pattern aligned vertically and horizontally. Thus, the lens cut 371 is applied to the partial lens 370, so that light can be diffused more by the partial lens 370. As a result, it is possible to make "AM remaining part" shine beautifully.

  The case 380 holds the partial lens 370, the outer lens 360, the sheet 350, the reflector 330, and the logo LED substrate 320 against the base member 310. The case 380 has a certain length (thickness) in the front-rear direction, but mainly has only side walls, and the front side and the rear side are open. The case 380 is assembled to the base member 310 via a screw in a state in which the outer lens 360 and the partial lens 370 are held (locked so as to be hooked) at the front peripheral portion 381. As a result, the partial lens 370, the outer lens 360, the sheet 350, the inner lens 340, and the reflector 330 are held inside the case 380.

  Case 380 forms an outline of "GIDREAM". However, as shown in FIG. 6, at the lower right portion of the case 380, the case 302 is recessed rearward to form the above-described recess 302. Therefore, the lower right portion of the case 380 forms an outline of “the remaining portion of AM” in a state of being recessed forward. The case 380 is made of a synthetic resin, and is deposited by gold processing in secondary processing. Therefore, when looking at the logo unit 300, it is possible to make the outline of "GIDREAM" be highlighted in gold (see FIG. 2).

  Next, the configuration of the big winning device unit 14U will be described in detail based on FIGS. As shown in FIG. 8, the winning device unit 14U is assembled so as to be fitted to the recessed portion 302 of the case 380. At this time, a large number of logo LEDs 321 provided on the lower right portion 322 of the logo LED substrate 320 are disposed behind the special winning device unit 14U. Therefore, when the logo LED 321 in the lower right portion 322 emits light, it is possible to irradiate the winning device unit 14U with light mainly via the partial lens 370. As a result, it is possible to make the big winning device unit 14U (especially the big winning device 14D) look beautiful.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a seal 14s1 is attached to the front of the AT opening / closing member 14k of the big winning device 14D. The seal 14s1 (seal member) indicates an upper portion (hereinafter referred to as an “AM remaining upper portion”) of the “AM remaining portion”. In order to match the color scheme of the logo unit 300, the outermost side of the seal 14s1 is gold, the inner side is red, and the inner side is transparent.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a seal 14s2 is attached to the front of the holder 14H around the big winning device 14D. The seal 14s2 (seal member) indicates a lower portion (hereinafter referred to as an “AM remaining lower portion”) of the “AM remaining portion”. In the seal 14s2, the outermost side is gold in color, the inner side is red, and the inner side is transparent in order to match the color arrangement of the logo unit 300.

  Here, the AT opening / closing member 14k and the holder 14H of the big winning device 14D form the same plane on their front surfaces. Therefore, the AM remaining upper portion indicated by the seal 14s1 and the AM remaining lower portion indicated by the seal 14s2 indicate "AM remaining portion" in the same plane. The innermost transparent portion of the seals 14s1 and 14s2 is provided in front of the lens cut 371 (see FIG. 6) of the partial lens 370. Therefore, by the light emission of the logo LED 321 in the lower right portion 322 of the logo LED substrate 320, it is possible to make the innermost ("AM remaining portion") of the seals 14s1 and 14s2 glow in white. The AT opening / closing member 14k and the holder 14H of the big winning device 14D correspond to the front wall of the big winning device unit 14U (the ball entering means).

  As shown in FIG. 2, when viewed from the front in a state in which the big winning device unit 14U is fitted to the recessed portion 302 of the logo unit 300, one design “GIDREAM” is formed. At this time, among the designs "GIDREAM", the outermost side (the outermost side of the case 380 and the seals 14s1 and 14s2) appears in gold, and the inner side (the outer portion 351 of the sheet 350, the outermost side of the seals 14s1 and 14s2) The inner side (inner side than the outer side) appears red, and the inner side (lens cut 341, 361, 371, the inner portion 352 of the sheet 350, the inner side of the seals 14s1, 14s2) appears to emit white light. By showing three colors (three layers) in this way, it is possible to enhance the decorative effect of the design "GIDREAM".

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, on the rear surface of the holder 14H, a lens cut 14y is provided corresponding to the position of the transparent portion of the seals 14s1 and 14s2. That is, the "AM remaining portion" is formed at the portion where the lens cut 14y is applied. The lens cut 14y has a small square mosaic pattern aligned vertically and horizontally. Thus, the lens cut 14y is applied to the holder 14H, whereby light can be diffused more. As a result, it is possible to make "AM remaining part" shine more beautifully.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 9, the lens cut 14z is given to the rear surface of the rear wall portion 14w of the big winning device 14D. The rear wall portion 14 w is disposed behind the AT opening / closing member 14 k when the AT opening / closing member 14 k is closed. Therefore, when the AT opening and closing member 14k is open, the player's view is not blocked by the AT opening and closing member 14k, and the rear wall portion 14w is easily visible. The lens cut 14z has a small square mosaic pattern aligned vertically and horizontally. In other words, the lens cut 14z is provided in the rear wall portion 14w in a region where at least a part thereof overlaps with the large winning opening 14 in the front-rear direction.

  Thus, it is possible to diffuse the light from the logo LED 321 of the lower right portion 322 of the logo LED substrate 320 by the lens cut 14z of the rear wall 14w of the big winning device 14D. As a result, when the AT opening and closing member 14k is open, it is possible to make the big winning opening 14 appear to be shining. Therefore, it is possible to make the opening of the special winning opening 14 more noticeable.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a guiding member 15 is attached to the front of the holder 14H and below the big winning opening 14 (see FIG. 2). The guiding member 15 guides the gaming ball, which has flowed downward below the large winning opening 14, to the left and directs it toward the out opening 19. The guide member 15 is made of a transparent synthetic resin. Therefore, the guiding member 15 does not affect the appearance of the design "GIDREAM".

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), the logo unit 300 is configured to appear to be larger and to appear larger as it goes from the center portion in the left-right direction to both end portions. That is, in the logo unit 300, the character part of "G" is projected forward (longer in the front-rear direction) and larger than the character part of "I". In addition, the letter portion of “I” protrudes forward from the letter portion of “D” and is larger. Also, the letter part of "D" protrudes forward from the letter part of "R" in the center and is larger.

  Further, in the logo unit 300, the upper part of the letter "M" protrudes forward beyond the upper part of the letter "A", and the entire letter part of "M" when viewed from the front is " Greater than the entire letter part of A ". Moreover, the upper part of the character of "A" has jumped out before the character part of "E", and the whole character part of "A" is larger than the character part of "E" when viewed from the front . In addition, the letter part of “E” protrudes forward from the letter part of “R” in the center and is larger.

  Then, in a state where the big winning device unit 14U is fitted in the recessed portion 302 of the logo unit 300, the design of "GIDREAM" is made to look large while jumping forward as going from the center portion in the left-right direction to both ends. There is. In the state where the big winning device unit 14U is fitted in the recess 302 of the logo unit 300, the front surface of the big winning device unit 14U (the holder 14H and the AT opening and closing member 14k) is flush with the front surface of the plate member 1A. Form Therefore, the front surface of the special winning device unit 14U is disposed in front of the "G" portion or the upper portion of the letter "M" of the logo unit 300, which protrudes the most forward. The reason why the design of "GIDREAM" has been made to appear as it jumps forward as it goes from the center to the both ends in the left-right direction is as follows, based on the following reasons.

  In many pachinko gaming machines in recent years, a large winning opening is easily arranged at the lower right portion of the game area. Therefore, even in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the big winning opening 14 (big winning device unit 14U) is disposed in the lower right portion of the game area 6. On the other hand, logo unit 300 is arranged behind plate-like member 1A of game board 1. Therefore, as described above, the front surface of the winning device unit 14U is disposed in front of the logo unit 300. Here, in the present embodiment, it is an object to form one large design ("GIDREAM") by the logo unit 300 and the big winning device unit 14U while constructing the logo unit 300 as large as possible. Furthermore, the object is to enhance the decorative effect of the formed design as much as possible.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in view of the fact that the "AM remaining portion" is formed by the big winning device unit 14U in the lower right portion of the game area 6, the character portion of "G" is directly behind the lower left portion of the game area 6. Or form the letter portion of "I". Then, in order to express the sense of depth of the design, the character portions of the logo unit 300 are arranged rearward from the both end portions in the left-right direction toward the central portion. Furthermore, in order to further express a three-dimensional effect, each character portion of the logo unit 300 is made smaller as it goes from the both ends in the left-right direction toward the center. With this configuration, it is possible to express a three-dimensional design with a sense of depth by the logo unit 300 and the big winning device unit 14U, while enabling the placement of the logo unit 300 long in the left-right direction. is there. As a result, it is possible to further enhance the decoration effect using the logo unit 300.

  The technical features of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, as described above, the purpose is to arrange the large logo unit 300 to form one design as large as possible. In this case, the big winning device unit 14U, which is often arranged at the lower right portion of the game area 6, is likely to be a hindrance. So, in this form, as shown in FIG. 2, one design ("GIDREAM") is formed by the logo unit 300 and the big winning device unit 14U which are long in the left-right direction. Thereby, the sense of unity between the logo unit 300 and the big winning device unit 14U can be improved, and the decoration effect is enhanced by one large design.

  By the way, as in the present embodiment, a configuration may be considered in which the logo unit 300 is disposed behind the big winning device unit 14U (big winning device 14D) without providing the hollow portion 302 in the logo unit 300. However, in the case of this configuration, the distance between the winning device unit 14U and the logo unit 300 in the front-rear direction is large, and the sense of unity is weakened. Furthermore, the distance in the front-rear direction as the game board 1 becomes large, and it becomes difficult to secure the arrangement space. In particular, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to arrange the LED board behind the big winning device unit 14U when the arrangement space is exhausted.

  Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the hollow portion 302 is provided in the logo unit 300, and the big winning device unit 14U (big winning device 14D) is fitted to the hollow portion 302, and the big winning device unit 14U and the logo unit 300 The length of the combined unit in the front-rear direction can be made compact. As a result, it is possible to enhance the sense of unity between the big winning device unit 14U and the logo unit 300. Furthermore, a space for disposing the logo LED board 320 can be secured behind the big winning device unit 14U (see FIG. 6), and the big win is achieved by the logo LED 321 of the lower right part 322 of the logo LED board 320. It is possible to emit light directly to the device unit 14U. That is, it is not necessary to arrange the LED not to be disposed only immediately behind the big winning device unit 14U. As a result, it is possible to make the light emission mode brighter by reliably illuminating the winning device unit 14U.

  Here, how to light the big winning device unit 14U becomes a problem. In order to express the sense of unity between the big winning device unit 14U and the logo unit 300 (main body 301), it must appear as emitting light with the same light emission mode (brightness, light diffusion degree) as much as possible. Therefore, unlike the present embodiment, a configuration may be considered in which printing is performed on the front of the big winning apparatus unit 14U without providing the partial lens 370 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) behind the big winning apparatus unit 14U. However, in the case of this configuration, the big winning device unit 14U appears dark, and it becomes difficult to see the design (characters) by printing. Therefore, the difference between the light emission mode of the special winning device unit 14U and the light emission mode of the logo unit 300 becomes large, which is likely to cause discomfort.

  So, in this form, the partial lens 370 is arrange | positioned at the back (recessed part 302 of the logo unit 300) of big winning a prize apparatus unit 14U. This partial lens 370 makes it easy to guide the light forward, making it possible to make the big winning device unit 14U bright. However, in the logo unit 300, as shown in FIG. 6, two lenses, the inner lens 340 and the outer lens 360, are disposed in the main body portion 301 (see FIG. 5A). In the portion 302 (see FIG. 5A), only one lens of the partial lens 370 is disposed. The purpose of this is to make the length of the hollow portion 302 in the front-rear direction as short as possible, and secure the arrangement space for the big winning device unit 14U. However, due to the difference in thickness of the lens, the light emission mode of the main body 301 of the logo unit 300 may still be different from the light emission mode of the big winning device unit 14U (recessed portion 302) when viewed from the front. . The inner lens 340, the outer lens 360, and the partial lens 370 have the same thickness (length in the front-rear direction).

  In order to cope with this, in the present embodiment, the big winning device unit 14U itself is subjected to a lens cut. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the lens cut 14y is applied to the rear surface of the holder 14H, and the lens cut 14z is applied to the rear wall 14w of the big winning device 14D. The lens cuts 14y and 14z enhance the light diffusion effect in the big winning device unit 14U. That is, the lens cuts 14y and 14z serve as lenses for one sheet. As a result, even if only one partial lens 370 is disposed in the hollow portion 302 of the logo unit 300, the special winning device unit 14U can be made brighter by the partial lens 370 and the lens cuts 14y and 14z. is there. Therefore, when the design "GIDREAM" is viewed from the front, it is possible to make the light emission modes of the main unit 301 of the logo unit 300 and the big winning device unit 14U as similar as possible.

  In this embodiment, a lens cut 341 (see FIG. 6) applied to the inner lens 340, a lens cut 361 (see FIG. 7) applied to the outer lens 360, and a lens applied to the partial lens 370 The cut 371 (see FIG. 7), the lens cut 14y (see FIG. 9) applied to the holder 14H, and the lens cut 14z (see FIG. 9) applied to the back wall 14w of the big winning device 14D. Each has the same pattern (small square mosaic arranged vertically and horizontally). Thereby, it is possible to give a sense of unity between the light emission mode of the main body portion 301 of the logo unit 300 and the light emission mode of the special winning device unit 14U so that the diffusion degree of light does not differ.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the main body portion 301 of the logo unit 300, by the case 380 (gold) and the outer portion 351 (red) of the sheet 350, the character portion of "GIDRE" and the upper portion of the character "AM" Expressed in gold and red. Then, in the big winning device unit 14U, the design of the "AM remaining portion" is expressed in gold and red by the seals 14s1 and 14s2. Thus, not only the case 380 but also the sheet 350 and the seals 14s1 and 14s2 are actively used to enhance the decorative effect of the design of "GIDREAM" (to express two colors of gold and red), and is inexpensive. It is composed of That is, the decorative effect of "GIDREAM" is enhanced with an inexpensive configuration by not forming the design only by the vapor deposition portion (case 380) to be the secondary processing. As described above, the case 380 itself is subjected to vapor deposition for secondary processing, but the front side and the rear side are open and mainly have only side walls, so they are relatively inexpensive. Is configured.

  Next, the configurations of the left side light emitting unit 400L and the right side light emitting unit 400R will be described in detail based on FIGS. However, the configuration of the left side light emitting unit 400L and the configuration of the right side light emitting unit 400R are symmetrical in the left-right direction. Therefore, the configuration of the left side light emitting unit 400L will be described as a representative, and the configuration of the right side light emitting unit 400R will be assigned the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the left side light emitting unit 400L includes an LED substrate 410 (hereinafter referred to as “left side LED substrate 410” as appropriate), three arc shaped cover lenses 420 (lenses), and three arc shaped light guides A member 430 and a cover member 440 are provided. The three cover lenses 420 will be called "cover lens 420U", "cover lens 420M", and "cover lens 420D" in order from the outside to the inside.

  FIG. 11 is a perspective view seen from the arrow X of FIG. A large number of left LEDs 411 (LEDs, light sources) are mounted on the left LED substrate 410. The left LEDs 411 are arranged in an arc along the cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D. A large number of right side LEDs 411 (LEDs, light sources) are mounted also on the LED substrate 410 of the right side light emitting unit 400R. When the left side LED 411 and the right side LED 411 are collectively described, they are referred to as a both side LED 411 (see FIG. 15). The both-side LED 411 in this embodiment is capable of emitting light in white.

  The cover lenses 420U, 420M, 420D are made of transparent synthetic resin, and are long in an arc shape (circumferential direction). The cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D are each formed in a dome shape (U-shape) in cross section, and cover the respective left LEDs 411. A large number of lens cuts 420Ua, 420Ma, 420Da are applied to the cover lenses 420U, 420M, 420D. The lens cuts 420Ua, 420Ma, and 420Da are substantially parallel, and formed in the circumferential direction (see FIG. 11). By these lens cuts 420Ua, 420Ma, 420Da, it is possible to diffuse the light from each of the left LEDs 411 and make it appear that the cover lenses 420U, 420M, 420D are emitting more beautifully. The cover lens 420M and the cover lens 420D have the same length along the circumferential direction, but are longer than the outermost cover lens 420U (see FIG. 10).

  By the way, the present embodiment is characterized in that each of the cover lenses 420U, 420M and 420D is provided with an outer protrusion 421 and an inner protrusion 422 which facilitate the light from the left LED 411 to be guided. Hereinafter, the outer protrusion 421 and the inner protrusion 422 will be described. 12 is a cross-sectional perspective view taken along the line Y-Y of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the outer protrusions 421 (outside convex portions, light guiding portions) extend from the outer side surfaces 420Ub, 420Mb, 420Db of the cover lenses 420U, 420M, 420D in a convex shape, and cover lenses 420U, 420U, It is integrally molded to 420M and 420D. The outer side surfaces 420Ub, 420Mb, and 420Db are surfaces of the cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D from which the light from the left LED 411 is emitted. As shown in FIG. 10, the outer protrusions 421 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer side surfaces 420Ub, 420Mb, and 420Db, and extend in a substantially cylindrical shape toward the front. The outer protrusions 421 can make the shapes of the outer surfaces 420Ub, 420Mb, and 420Db of the cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D stand out. Furthermore, it is possible to direct the light from the left LED 411 to make the part with the outer protrusion 421 appear particularly bright (brighter than the part where only the lens cuts 420Ua, 420Ma, 420Da are applied).

  The inner projection 422 (inner convex portion, light guiding portion) extends from the inner side surfaces 420Uc, 420Mc and 420Dc of the cover lenses 420U, 420M and 420D in a convex shape as shown in FIG. It is integrally molded to 420M and 420D. The inner side surfaces 420Uc, 420Mc, and 420Dc are surfaces of the cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D on which light from the left LED 411 is incident. The inner protrusions 422 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the inner side surfaces 420Uc, 420Mc, and 420Dc, and extend in a substantially cylindrical shape toward the rear. With these inner projections 422, it is possible to guide the light from the left LED 411 and make the part with the inner projections 422 appear particularly bright (brighter than the part where only the lens cuts 420Ua, 420Ma, 420Da are applied).

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 12, the present embodiment is characterized in that the outer protrusion 421, the inner protrusion 422 and the left LED 411 are disposed on the coaxial P1. That is, the outer protrusion 421 and the inner protrusion 422 extend in the same direction, and the left LED 411 is disposed on a straight line in the direction in which the outer protrusion 421 and the inner protrusion 422 extend. This is based on the following reasons.

  An LED, by its nature, has a strong directivity (a property in which the light intensity varies depending on the direction), and the spread of light is narrower than other light sources (incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent lights). That is, it tends to be bright only in the region extending linearly from the LED. So, in this form, the outer protrusion 421 and the inner protrusion 422 are arrange | positioned on the coaxial P1 with respect to left LED 411 using the property of above-described LED. Each left side LED 411 is provided on the LED substrate 410 so as to emit light mainly forward.

  Thus, the outer protrusion 421 and the inner protrusion 422 make it easier to guide the light emitted from the left LED 411. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, among the cover lenses 420U, 420M, 420D, it is possible to make the part with the outer protrusion 421 and the inner protrusion 422 appear extremely bright. That is, although it appears to be somewhat (slightly) glowing even around the outer protrusion 421 and the inner protrusion 422, it is possible to make the portion with the outer protrusion 421 and the inner protrusion 422 appear to be particularly highlighted and glowing.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 12, the inner protrusion 422 is formed longer than the outer protrusion 421. This is based on the following reasons. The outer protrusion 421 is provided on the outer surface 420Ub, 420Mb, 420Db which can be touched by a human body (such as an employee or a manufacturer of a game arcade). On the other hand, the inner protrusions 422 are provided on the inner side surfaces 420Uc, 420Mc, and 420Dc that can not be touched by the human body inside the cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D. Therefore, there is no safety problem even if it is long. Therefore, in consideration of safety to the human body, the inner protrusion 422 which the human body can not touch is longer than the outer protrusion 421 which the human body can touch, in order to maximize the function of facilitating light guiding. doing.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the light guide member 430 is disposed between the cover lens 420U and the cover lens 420M, between the cover lens 420M and the cover lens 420D, and on the inner side (lower side) than the cover lens 420D. It is done. The light guide members 430 extend in an arc shape along with the cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D, and have a triangular prism shape protruding forward. That is, the light guide member 430 is opposed to the side surface (surface on which the outer protrusion 421 is not provided) of each of the cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D (see FIG. 12). Each light guide member 430 is made of a white synthetic resin. Thus, the light guide member 430 can direct the light leaked from the side surface of each cover lens 420U, 420M, 420D to the player side (forward). As a result, it is possible to make the light emission aspect of each cover lens 420U, 420M, 420D appear as bright as possible.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, each light guide member 430 is provided with hexagonal receiving portions 431 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. These receiving portions 431 are portions to be taken out by a pin from the mold when the light guide member 430 is manufactured by resin molding. As shown in FIG. 10, the receiving portions 431 are disposed at the same intervals as the intervals at which the respective outer protrusions 421 are disposed in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the receiving portions 431 and the outer protrusions 421 are linearly arranged in the radial direction of the cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D. Thus, when the cover lenses 420U, 420M, and 420D are viewed, the decorative effect can be enhanced by the regular arrangement of the receiving portions and the outer protrusions 421.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the cover member 440 is provided below the light guide member 430 disposed at the innermost side (lower side). The left LED 411 is not disposed behind the cover member 440. Therefore, the cover member 440 mainly performs only a function as a decoration (decorative member).

Except for the game control board 100, any of a plurality of boards shown in FIG. 14 or 15 may be configured as one board, or even if one board shown in FIG. 14 or 15 is configured as a plurality of boards good.

4. Description of jackpot, etc. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, there are "jackpot" and "off" as a result of the jackpot lottery (special symbol lottery). In the case of "big hit", the "big hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special view display 81. In the case of "disengagement", the "losing symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special view display 81. When the jackpot is won, a "big hit game" is executed in which the big winning opening 14 is opened with an opening pattern according to the type (type of big hit) of the special symbol stopped and displayed. The jackpot game is also called a special game.

  In the jackpot game, in this embodiment, a plurality of round games (unit opening game), an opening before the first round game is started (also referred to as OP), and an ending after the final round game is over (Also denoted as ED). Each round game starts with the end of the OP or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ED. The closing time (interval time) of the winning opening during the round game is included in the opening round game before the closing.

  There are several types of jackpots. The type of jackpot is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, the present embodiment is roughly divided into two types. The odds are a big hit and usually a big hit. The probability variation jackpot is a jackpot that controls the gaming state after the jackpot game to a high probability state described later. The normal jackpot is a jackpot that controls the gaming state after the jackpot game to a normal probability state (low probability state) described later.

  More specifically, the probability change jackpot and normal jackpot that can be won in the special figure 1 lottery (the first special symbol lottery), from 1R to 8R open the big winning opening 14 for up to 29.5 seconds per 1R 9R to 16R are jackpots that open the big winning opening 14 for up to 0.1 seconds per 1R. That is, although the total number of rounds of these jackpots is 16R, the substantial number of rounds is 8R. The substantial number of rounds refers to the number of rounds in which the game ball can win the game up to the maximum number of winnings per round (8 in this embodiment). In these jackpots from 9R to 16R, the opening time of the big winning opening 14 is extremely short, making it an unforeseeable round of winning balls. In addition, when it is elected by a lottery of the special figure 1, it is stopped and displayed “the special figure 1 _ definite strange symbol” on the 1st special figure indicator 81a, when it is elected as “the usual big hit”, The “special figure 1_normal symbol” is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display 81a.

  Moreover, the probability change big hit and the normal big hit which can be won by the drawing of the special figure 2 (drawing of the second special symbol) are the big hit opening the big winning opening 14 from 1R to 16R for up to 29.5 seconds per 1R. That is, these jackpots also have a substantial number of rounds of 16R. If the special figure 2 wins the "probable variation big hit", the second special figure display 81b stops displaying the "special figure 2 _ probability variation symbol", and if the "normal big hit" is won, the second "Special figure 2_ normal symbol" is stopped and displayed on special figure indicator 81b.

  Regardless of which jackpot is won, after the jackpot game, it is controlled to the electric support control state (high base state) described later. The power-supply control state continues until the next jackpot win if it is controlled according to the high probability state. On the other hand, in the case of control according to the normal probability state (low probability state), the number of times of power support (time reduction number) is set to 100 times. The number of times of power support is the number of times of upper limit execution of the fluctuation display of the special symbol in the power support control state.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the distribution ratio of jackpots in the drawing of the special figure 1 and the drawing of the special drawing 2 is 65% for the probability change jackpot and 35% for the normal jackpot. However, when the jackpot is won based on the drawing of the special figure 1, while the jackpot game of which the actual number of rounds is eight rounds is executed, when the jackpot is won based on the drawing of the special figure 2 It is set that the lottery of the special figure 2 is more advantageous for the player than the lottery of the special figure 1 in that the jackpot game of 16 rounds is executed.

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a lottery for determining whether or not a jackpot is performed is performed based on the "jackpot random number", and a lottery for winning jackpot type is performed based on the "hit type random number". As shown in FIG. 17A, the jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 65535. The hit type random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 99. The random numbers acquired based on the winning on the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 include “reach random numbers” and “variation pattern random numbers” in addition to the jackpot random number and the per type random number.

  The reach random number is a random number that determines whether or not reach is to be generated in the effect design variation effect indicating the result when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss. The reach is a state in which one of the plurality of effect symbols is displayed as the remaining variable symbols are displayed, and the jackpot is won depending on which symbol the variable symbols being displayed are stopped and displayed. It is the state (for example, the state of "7 7 7") which becomes a combination of the effect design shown. In addition, the effect pattern stopped and displayed in the reach state may be displayed so as to be slightly shaken in the display screen 50a, or may be displayed so as to repeat enlargement and reduction. This reach random number takes a value in the range of 0-255.

  Further, the variation pattern random number is a random number for determining a variation pattern including a variation time. The fluctuation pattern random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 99. Further, the random numbers acquired based on the passage to the gate 13 include the normal symbol random numbers (performing random numbers) shown in FIG. 20 (B). The normal symbol random number is a random number for a lottery (normal symbol lottery) as to whether or not to perform the auxiliary game to open the electric chew 12D. Normal symbol random numbers take values in the range of 0-65535.

5. Description of gaming state Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment will be described. The special view display 81 and the common view display 82 of the pachinko gaming machine PY 1 have a probability change function and a change time shortening function, respectively. The state in which the probability fluctuation function of the special view display 81 is operating is referred to as a "high probability state", and the state not operating is referred to as a "normal probability state (non-high probability state)". In the high probability state, the jackpot probability is higher than the normal probability state. That is, the jackpot determination is performed using the jackpot determination table in which the value of the jackpot random number determined to be the jackpot is larger than the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (see FIG. 18A). That is, when the probability change function of the special view display 81 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the special symbol by the special view display 81 (that is, the stop pattern) becomes a big hit design Becomes higher.

  Further, a state in which the fluctuation time shortening function of the special view display 81 is operating is referred to as a "time saving state", and a state not operating is referred to as a "non-time saving state". In the time saving state, the variation time of the special symbol (the time from the start of the variation display to the time of derivation display of the display result) is shorter than the non-time saving state. That is, the variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern table which is determined such that the selection of the variation pattern having the short variation time is more than in the non-short time state (see FIG. 19). That is, when the fluctuation time shortening function of the special view display 81 is activated, a short fluctuation time can be easily selected as the fluctuation time of the variable display of the special symbol, as compared to when it is not activated. As a result, in the time saving state, the pace of the special figure reserve is increased, and a valid winning to the starting opening (a prize that can be stored as the special figure reserve) is easily generated. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a jackpot under the progress of a smooth game.

  The probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the special view display 81 may operate at the same time, or only one of them may operate. The probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the common drawing display 82 are operated in synchronization with the fluctuation time shortening function of the special drawing display 81. That is, the probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the general display 82 operate in the short time state and do not operate in the short time state. Therefore, in the time saving state, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery is higher than in the non-time saving state. That is, the hit determination (determination of the normal symbol) is performed using the normal symbol collision determination table in which the value of the normal symbol random number (hit random number) determined to be a hit is greater than the normal symbol hit determination table used in the non-short time state See FIG. 18 (C)). In other words, when the probability fluctuation function of the generic display 82 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the normal symbol by the generic display 82 will normally be a symbol is higher than when it is not activated. .

  Moreover, in the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shorter than the non-time saving state. In the present embodiment, the variation time of the normal symbol is 7 seconds in the non-short time state, but is 1 second in the short time state (see FIG. 18D). Furthermore, in the time saving state, the open time of the electric chow 12D in the auxiliary game is longer than in the non-time short state (see FIG. 20). That is, the open time extension function of the electric chew 12D is activated. In addition, in the time saving state, the number of times of opening the electric chow 12D in the auxiliary game is greater than in the non-time short state (see FIG. 20). That is, the function of increasing the number of times of opening the electric tube 12D is activated.

  In the situation where the probability fluctuation function and fluctuation time shortening function of the general display 82 and the open time extension function and open frequency increase function of the electric Chu 12D are activated, compared with the case where these functions are not activated. The electric chow 12D is frequently opened, and the gaming ball is frequently prized at the second starting opening 12. As a result, the base which is the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of firing balls becomes high. Therefore, the state in which these functions are operating is referred to as the "high base state", and the non-operating state is referred to as the "low base state". In the high base state, it is possible to aim for a jackpot without significantly reducing the number of game balls on hand. The high base state is a state in which so-called power supply control (control to support winning of the second starting opening 12 by the power control 12D) is being executed. Therefore, the high base state is also referred to as a power supply control state or an easy ball entering state. On the other hand, the low base state is also referred to as a non-electric support control state or a non-entering easy state.

  The high base state may not activate all the functions described above. That is, the operation of one or more functions among the probability change function of the common drawing display 82, the change time shortening function of the common drawing display 82, the open time extension function of the electric chew 12D, and the open frequency increase function of the electric chew 12D. Thus, the electric chew 12D may be more easily released than when the function is not activated. Also, the high base state may be independently controlled without being associated with the short time state.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the gaming state after the jackpot game by the winning of the odd variation jackpot is the high probability state and the time saving state and the high base state. This gaming state is particularly called "high probability high base state". The high-accuracy high-base state ends when the variable display of the special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (10,000 times in the present embodiment) or the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed. That is, in the present embodiment, the high probability high base state continues substantially until the next jackpot win. It is to be noted that the termination condition of the high probability / high base state may be a jackpot and the jackpot game may be executed.

  In addition, the gaming state after the jackpot game by the winning of the normal jackpot is a normal probability state (non-high probability state or low probability state) and a short time state and high base state. This gaming state is particularly referred to as "low probability high base state". The low probability high base state ends when the variable display of the special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) or the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed.

  When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is played for the first time, the gaming state after the power is turned on is the normal probability state, the non-time-shortening state, and the low base state. This gaming state is particularly called "low probability low base state". The low probability low base state is referred to as a "normal game state". In addition, the state during the execution of the special game (big hit game) is referred to as "special game state (big hit game state)". Further, a state controlled to at least one of the high probability state and the high base state is referred to as a "special game state".

  In a high base state such as a high probability high base state or a low probability high base state, it is possible to advantageously advance the game if the game ball is made to enter the right gaming area 6R (see FIG. 2) by right hitting. This is because the electric control 12D is more easily released than the low base state by the electric support control, and the winning of the second starting opening 12 is easier than the winning of the first starting opening 11. . Therefore, the game ball is passed to the gate 13 which is a trigger for the normal symbol lottery, and the right strike is performed to win the game ball to the second starting opening 12. As a result, it is possible to obtain a large number of start winnings (winnings on the starting opening) rather than hitting the left. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the game is played by right-handed even during the big hit game.

  On the other hand, in the low base state, it is possible to advance the game more advantageously if the game ball is made to enter the left gaming area 6L (see FIG. 2) by left hitting. Since the power support control is not executed, it is difficult to open the power choke 12D compared to the high base state, and it is easier to win the first starting opening 11 than winning the second starting opening 12 It is because it has become. Therefore, in order to win the game ball in the first starting opening 11, a left strike is performed. This makes it possible to obtain a large number of starting winnings rather than right-handed.

6. Next, the operation of the game control microcomputer 101 will be described based on FIG. 21, and the operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described based on FIG. 22 and FIG. First, the operation of the game control microcomputer 101 will be described.

  [Main-side Timer Interrupt Processing] The gaming control microcomputer 101 repeats the main-side timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 21 every short time, for example, 4 msec. First, the game control microcomputer 101 is a jackpot random number used in the jackpot lottery, a jackpot type random number for deciding the type of jackpot, a reach random number for deciding whether or not to be a reach state in the fluctuation effect, a fluctuation for determining the fluctuation pattern A random number updating process is performed to update the pattern random number, the normal symbol random number (hit random number) and the like used for the normal symbol lottery (S101). Note that at least a part of each random number may be a hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like. In addition, the random number generation circuit may be incorporated in the game control microcomputer 101.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 performs an input process (S102). In the input process (S102), various sensors (a first start port sensor 11a, a second start port sensor 12a, a big winning port sensor 14a, a general winning port sensor 10a, etc.) mainly attached to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 (FIG. )) Is read, and payout data for paying out a prize ball according to the type of the winning opening is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104.

  Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 executes a start opening sensor detection process (S103), a special operation process (S104), and a normal operation process (S105). In the starting opening sensor detection process (S103), if the first starting opening sensor 11a is ON, various random numbers such as a big hit random number (big hit random number, big hit, etc.) on condition that the first special view pending memory is less than 4 pieces. The symbol random number, the reach random number, and the variation pattern random number (see FIG. 17A) are acquired. If the second starting opening sensor 12a is ON, various random numbers such as a big hit random number are acquired on condition that the number of the second special view reserve memory is less than four. Further, if the gate sensor 13a is ON, the normal symbol random number (see FIG. 17B) is acquired on condition that the number of common drawing reserve storage is less than four.

  In the special operation process (S104), a random number such as the jackpot random number acquired in the starting opening sensor detection process (S103) is determined, and a special symbol display (variation display and stop display) for notifying the determination result is performed. . When this special symbol is displayed, a variation start command including information on the variation pattern is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 at the start of the variation display of the special symbol, and the variation stop command is used for gaming when the stop indication of the special symbol is started. Set in the output buffer of the RAM 104. The fluctuation pattern is determined using the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 19 based on the determination of various random numbers such as the jackpot random number. Then, as a result of the determination of the jackpot random number, when the jackpot is won, the jackpot game (special game) is performed in which the big winning opening 14 is opened in accordance with a predetermined opening pattern (opening time or opening number). Here, as shown in FIG. 19, if the variation pattern is determined, the variation time for which the variation display of the special symbol is executed is also determined. The SP reach (super reach) shown in the remarks column of FIG. 19 is a reach having a longer post-reach variation time than a normal reach. The distribution ratio of the table is set such that the SP reach has a higher expectation of winning (the degree of expectation for a jackpot) than the normal reach. And, the distribution ratio of the table is set so that the expectation of winning becomes high in the order of weak SP reach A⇒weak SP reach B⇒strong SP reach. In the present embodiment, super reach is evolved through normal reach.

  In the special operation process (S104), when the opening (big hit game) is started, an opening command indicating the start of the opening is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104. When starting a round game, a round designation command indicating the start of the round game is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104. In addition, when ending is started, an ending command indicating the start of ending is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104.

  In the normal operation process (S105), the normal symbol random number acquired in the starting opening sensor detection process is determined, and the normal symbol display (variation display and stop display) for notifying the determination result is performed. As a result of the determination of the normal symbol random number, when it has been elected per normal symbol, the auxiliary game to open the electric chew 12D according to the predetermined opening pattern (opening time or opening number, see FIG. 20) according to the gaming state Do.

  Next, the game control microcomputer 101 performs an output process of outputting a command or the like set in each process described above to the effect control board 120 or the like (S106). In parallel with the above-described processing in the game control microcomputer 101, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs the processing shown in FIGS. The operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described below.

  [Sub-Side 1 ms Timer Interrupt Processing] The effect control microcomputer 121 repeats the sub-side 1 ms timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 22 every short time such as 1 msec. The effect control microcomputer 121 is configured to execute the sub-side 1 ms timer interrupt process and also execute the sub-side 10 ms timer interrupt process (see FIG. 23) as described later. As shown in FIG. 22, in the sub-side 1 ms timer interrupt process, first, an input process is performed (S201). In the input process (S201), switch data (edge data and level data) is created based on detection signals from the input unit detection sensor 40a and the select button detection sensor 42a (see FIG. 15).

  Subsequently, lamp data output processing is performed (S202).

That is, according to the lamp data, the logo LED 321, the both-side LED 411, the frame lamp 212, and the panel lamp 54 are caused to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode.

  Next, drive control processing described later is performed (S203). In the drive control process (S203), drive data is created or output in order to drive (rotate) the plate movable body 55k (see FIG. 2) at a timing that matches the effect. That is, in accordance with the drive data, the board movable body 55k is driven in a predetermined operation mode. Then, the watchdog timer process (S204) for resetting the watchdog timer is performed, and the process ends.

  [Sub-Side 10 ms Timer Interrupt Processing] The effect control microcomputer 121 repeats the sub-side 10 ms timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 23 every short time such as 10 msec. As shown in FIG. 23, in the sub-side 10 ms timer interrupt process, first, a received command analysis process is performed (S301). In the reception command analysis process (S301), the effect control microcomputer 121 determines, for example, whether or not the fluctuation start command (special figure 1 fluctuation start command, special figure 2 fluctuation start command) is received from the game control board 100, and received If it is, the fluctuation production start process for starting the fluctuation production is performed. In addition, it decides whether or not fluctuation stop command (special figure 1 fluctuation stop command, special figure 2 fluctuation stop command) is received from game control board 100, if it is received fluctuation production end processing for ending fluctuation production I do. Further, it is determined whether an opening command has been received from the game control board 100, and if it has been received, an opening effect selection process for starting an opening effect accompanying the opening is performed. Further, it is determined whether or not a round designation command has been received from the game control board 100, and if it is received, a round game effect selection process for starting a round game effect accompanying a round game is performed. Further, it is determined whether an ending command has been received from the game control board 100, and if it is received, an ending effect selection process for starting an ending effect accompanying the ending is performed.

  Next to the reception command analysis process of step S301, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs switch state acquisition processing of storing switch data created by the sub-side 1 ms timer interrupt process in the effect RAM 124 as switch data for 10 ms timer interrupt process. (S302). Subsequently, switch processing is performed to set the display content and the like of the display screen 50a of the image display device 50 based on the switch data stored in the switch state acquisition processing (S303).

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs voice control processing (S304). In the voice control process (S304), creation of voice data (data for outputting voice from the speaker 610), output of voice data to the voice control board 161, time management of voice effects, and the like are performed. As a result, a sound that matches the effect to be performed is output from the speaker 610.

  After that, the effect control microcomputer 121 creates lamp data (logo LED 321, both-side LED 411 (left LED 411 and right LED 411), data for controlling lighting of the frame lamp 212 and the panel lamp 54) or determines various effects. Other processing such as updating the random number is executed (S305), and this processing ends.

7. Effect of the present embodiment <A> As described in detail above, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, the character (“GIDRE”) displayed on the logo unit 300 An integral design ("GIDREAM") by the part "and the upper part of the letters" AM "and the decoration (" AM remaining part ") applied to the big winning device unit 14U as shown in FIG.
