Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of detecting appropriate magnetism.SOLUTION: When a magnetic sensor detects magnetism, a state of a magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state but becomes a non-specific state when a predetermined condition is satisfied, whereas the state of magnetic detection signal becomes the specific state when a predetermined condition is not satisfied. As described above, in a situation where a predetermined condition is satisfied, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism. As a result, more appropriate detection of magnetism can be performed as compared with the case where the magnetic detection state becomes the specific state simply because the magnetic sensor detects the magnetism.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Among pachinko gaming machines among gaming machines, there are machines provided with a magnetic sensor (magnetic detection means) for detecting magnetism in order to detect fraud. For example, the magnetic sensor is provided on the back of the gaming board or inside the gaming board like a pachinko gaming machine described in Patent Document 1.

JP, 2010-57761, A

  By the way, some common pachinko machines are provided with a speaker having a magnet, for example. Then, for example, when the door member of the pachinko gaming machine is opened, it can be assumed that the magnetic sensor detects the magnetism of the magnet possessed by the speaker, and the detection of the magnetism does not necessarily mean that the fraud is performed. .

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described prior art. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of performing appropriate magnetic detection.

  A game machine for solving the above problems is a game machine provided with a magnetic detection means for detecting magnetism, comprising: a support member; a door member supported by the support member so as to be openable and closable; and a door for detecting opening of the door member An open detection means and a control means to which a magnetic detection signal from the magnetic detection means is input, the magnetic detection means performs an initial operation, and the magnetic detection means includes an opening detection means from the door open detection means. An open detection signal is input, and in the state of the open detection signal from the door open detection means, the first state in which the open of the door member can be detected and the open of the door member are detected. There is a second state that can specify that there is no, and in the state of the magnetic detection signal from the magnetic detection means, it is specified that the specific state that can detect that magnetism is detected and that the magnetism is not detected Can do The control means can identify that magnetism has been detected based on the fact that the magnetic detection signal from the magnetic detection means is in a specific state, at least the magnetic detection means The initial operation is not performed when the state of the open detection signal input to the first state is the first state, and the power supply is started when the power supply is started when the door member is opened. After the first closing of the door member, the initial operation is performed, and in the state of the magnetic detection signal from the magnetic detection means, a specific state capable of specifying that magnetism is detected and a magnetic state are detected. When the magnetic detection means detects magnetism, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not change to the specific state when a predetermined condition is satisfied. When the predetermined condition is not satisfied while the constant state is established, the state of the magnetic detection signal is the specific state, and the control means can control the output of the external signal to be output from the connection terminal, and the magnetism is detected. Control the output of a specific external signal when it is possible to specify the event, and the magnetism detection means is magnetizable when the door member is open even when the connection terminal and the external device are connected. The gist is that the specific external signal is not output to the external device because the magnetic detection signal does not enter the specific state even if it is detected.

  According to the present invention, appropriate magnetic detection can be performed.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 pays a smaller number of gaming balls as a winning ball than when the special game starting condition or the normal game starting condition can not be established, but the gaming ball enters the large winning opening 29 It is also possible to provide a winning opening (a so-called normal winning opening or a general winning opening) in which the payout condition to be paid out is satisfied. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 includes game components such as nails (game nails) and windmills for changing the behavior of the game balls flowing down the game area 21.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a magnetic sensor as magnetic detection means for detecting magnetism. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes three magnetic sensors of a first magnetic sensor ZS1, a second magnetic sensor ZS2, and a third magnetic sensor ZS3. In the present embodiment, the magnetic sensors ZS1 to ZS3 are disposed on the back side of the game board 20. In addition, when the magnetic sensor is disposed on the back side of the game board 20, the magnet or the like brought close to the game board 20 by being disposed in the vicinity of a plate (for example, a plywood or an acrylic board) constituting the game board 20. Magnetism can be easily detected. For example, when disposing a magnetic sensor on the back side of the game board 20, if the magnetic sensor is disposed directly on a plate material of the game board 20, the magnetism may be at a predetermined distance from the plate material of the game board 20. The magnetism on the front side of the game board 20 can be detected more easily than when a sensor is arranged. Note that some or all of the magnetic sensors ZS1 to ZS3 need not be disposed on the back side of the game board 20, and may be disposed on the front side of the game board 20. When the magnetic sensor is disposed on the front side of the game board 20, for example, the magnetic sensor may be covered with a decorative member or the like so that the magnetic sensor can not be visually recognized (or hardly visible) from the player. By providing a magnetic sensor on the back side of the game board 20 or covering the magnetic sensor with a decorative member, it is difficult to specify the position where the magnetic sensor is disposed, so it is possible to suppress fraudulent acts using magnetism. it can. Further, by providing the magnetic sensor on the back side of the game board 20 or covering the magnetic sensor with a decorative member, the magnetic sensor is hardly exposed to the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, and the appearance becomes better.

  The first magnetic sensor ZS1 is disposed on the back side of the game board 20 and on the back side of the first starting opening 26. As described above, by arranging the first magnetic sensor ZS1 at a position on the back side of the first starting port 26, the magnetism near the first starting port 26 (for example, to the first starting port 26) by the first magnetic sensor ZS1. The magnetism when the magnet is brought close can be detected. The first magnetic sensor ZS1 may be disposed indirectly on the back side of the game board 20 without being disposed directly, and, for example, a first starting opening configured to include the first starting opening 26. It may be disposed in the unit.

  The second magnetic sensor ZS2 is disposed on the back side of the game board 20 and on the back side of the second starting opening 27. Thus, by arranging the second magnetic sensor ZS2 at a position on the back side of the second starting port 27, the second magnetic sensor ZS2 generates magnetism near the second starting port 27 (for example, to the second starting port 27). The magnetism when the magnet is brought close can be detected. The second magnetic sensor ZS2 may be disposed indirectly on the back side of the game board 20 without being disposed directly, and, for example, a second starting opening including the second starting opening 27. It may be disposed in the unit.

  The third magnetic sensor ZS3 is disposed on the rear side of the game board 20 and on the rear side of the special winning opening 29. In this manner, by arranging the third magnetic sensor ZS3 at a position on the back side of the big winning opening 29, the third magnetic sensor ZS3 magnetizes the vicinity of the big winning opening 29 (for example, the magnet approaches the big winning opening 29) Can be detected. Note that the third magnetic sensor ZS3 may be disposed indirectly on the back side of the game board 20 without being disposed directly, for example, on a large winning opening unit configured to include the large winning opening 29. You may arrange.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a low probability state and a high probability state as gaming states having different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning a jackpot in the internal lottery (big hit lottery). The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the low probability state. In the high probability state, since the possibility of winning a big hit is increased compared to the low probability state, the gaming state is advantageous for the player. The high probability state is a so-called “probability fluctuation state (probability state)”.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as gaming states in which the ratio of the number of award balls to the number of launch balls is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that the game ball enters the second starting opening 27 is higher than that in the low base state. The high base state is a so-called "power support state", and the low base state is a so-called "non-power support state". In the high base state, since the probability that the gaming ball enters the second starting opening 27 increases, the gaming state is advantageous for the player.

  For example, the high base state can be realized by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by combining a plurality of controls. The first control is a normal symbol fluctuation time reduction control in which the fluctuation time of the normal game is shorter than in the low base state. The second control is the probability fluctuation control of the ordinary symbol which fluctuates the probability of winning the regular hit lottery (normal hit probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an open time extension control in which the total open time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game is made longer than in the low base state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, control to increase the number of times of opening of the first variable member 28 in one ordinary hit game more than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 28 in ordinary hit game It is preferable to perform at least one control of the control of making the open time of L longer than in the low base state. Also, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time reduction control that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, the average variation time) shorter than in the low base state. When performing the fluctuation time reduction control of the special symbol, the high base state is a so-called "variation time reduction state".

Next, the big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of big hit symbols as a big hit symbol of a special symbol. Several kinds of big hit symbols are classified into a first big hit symbol and a second big hit symbol. A plurality of types of jackpot symbols are determined for each type of jackpot, and there are a plurality of jackpot types. The game state after the end of the big hit game may be defined in a plurality of types of big hit symbols.

  In the big hit game, first, an opening effect for notifying the start of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined opening period. In the big hit game, a round game in which the big winning opening 29 is opened is performed after the end of the opening effect. The round game is played with the predetermined upper limit number as the upper limit. In one round game, the special winning opening 29 is a first end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter or a second end condition in which a predetermined upper limit time elapses. It is released. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, in the big hit game, when the final round game is finished, an ending effect of notifying the end of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined ending period. The big hit game is ended with the end of the ending effect.

  In the big hit symbol classified as the first big hit symbol and the big hit symbol classified as the second big hit symbol, a big hit game in which the upper limit number of round games is 10 is defined. Also, the jackpot symbol classified as the first jackpot symbol is given a high probability state between the next jackpot game is awarded and the next jackpot game as the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game. A high base condition between the beards is defined. On the other hand, in the big hit symbol classified as the second big hit symbol, a special game with a low probability status and a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, 100 times) is ended as a gaming state to be granted after the end of the big hit game. A high base state is defined during a certain period or during a period in which a big hit game is given before the upper limit number of special games are ended.

  In the present embodiment, according to the viewpoint of whether or not the high probability state is given, the degree of advantage is in the relation of “second jackpot symbol <first jackpot symbol”. According to the viewpoint of whether the number of times of the special game to which the high base state is given is large or small, the degree of advantage is in the relation of “second jackpot symbol <first jackpot symbol”. Therefore, the first big hit symbol is a big hit symbol advantageous over the second big hit symbol because the number of special games to which the high base status is given is large and the high probability status is given.

  In the following description, a big hit game based on the big hit symbol classified as the first big hit symbol "first big hit game", a big hit game based on the big hit symbol classified as the second big hit symbol "second big hit game" May be indicated. Also, the type of jackpot corresponding to the first jackpot game may be indicated as "first jackpot", and the type of jackpot corresponding to the second jackpot game may be indicated as "second jackpot".

The effect pattern is a pattern on which a decoration such as a character or a pattern is given, and is for diversifying the display effect, and is also referred to as a "decorative pattern" or a "decorative pattern". In the present embodiment, the effect game is performed by fluctuating display (scroll display) of the first, second and third row symbol rows in the vertical direction. The production symbols in the first row are the so-called first symbols, the rendering symbols in the second row are the so-called second symbols, and the rendering symbols in the third row are the so-called third symbols.

  The effect game is played in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the effect game starts with the start of the special game and ends with the end of the special game. Then, in the effect game, a combination of effect symbols according to the special symbol derived in the special game is derived. When a big hit symbol is derived in the special game, a big hit symbol by the effect symbol is derived in the effect game. For example, the big hit symbol by the effect symbol is a symbol combination such as “333” or “777” in which the effect symbols in all the rows are the same. In the special game, in the case where the outlying symbol is derived, in the effect game, the outlying symbol is derived in accordance with the effect symbol. For example, the off-design by the production design is a symbol combination such as “323”, “556”, [426], etc., in which at least a part of the production design differs from that of the other lines. Note that, in the effect game, the effect pattern may be temporarily displayed before the finalized display. In the present specification, "temporarily displayed" means a state indicating that the symbol may be displayed fluctuating again, such as, for example, "a fluctuation state".

  The effect game may include a reach effect performed by forming a reach. In Reach, the same effect pattern is temporarily displayed on a specific row (in the present embodiment, the first and third rows) among a plurality of rows, and a row different from the specific row (in this embodiment) , The second row) is a state in which the variable display is continuously displayed. For example, in the reach effect, there may be a plurality of types of reach effects different in the motion of the character and the effect pattern to be appeared.

If the determination result of the first input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). (Hereinafter referred to as the first hold determination). When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the first special hold number to update. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 of the information substrate 43 so as to display the updated first special holding number. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a first hold number command) capable of specifying the updated first special hold number in the output buffer. In the present embodiment, control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub-substrate 50 in the next and subsequent interrupt processing.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores that the random number information for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution is suspended until the execution condition of the first special game is established. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number according to a predetermined method. For example, the random number is a random number used for a big hit lottery, a random number used for determining a big hit symbol, a random number used for determining a variation pattern, or the like.

  If the determination result of the first input determination is negative, if the determination result of the first hold determination is negative, and after storing random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the main control The CPU 40a determines whether the gaming ball has entered the second starting opening 27 based on whether or not the detection signal from the second starting sensor SE2 has been input (hereinafter referred to as a second input determination). If the determination result of the second input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the second input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). Determined (hereinafter referred to as the second hold determination). If the determination result of the second hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the second special hold number to update. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 of the information substrate 43 so as to display the updated second special reserve number. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a second hold number command) capable of specifying the updated second special hold number in the output buffer.

  If the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires the random number generated in the main board 40, and stores the random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c, End special symbol input processing. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores that the random number information for the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing random number information for the second special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution is suspended until an execution condition for the second special game is established.

Next, the special symbol start process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether a special game execution condition is satisfied (hereinafter referred to as execution determination). In the execution determination, the main control CPU 40a makes a positive determination if it is not in the big hit game and not in the special game, while it makes a negative decision if it is in the big hit game or in the special game. If the determination result of the execution determination is negative (if the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied), the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative (when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied), the main control CPU 40a has the second special reserve number stored in the main control RAM 40c at 1 or more. Determine if Then, when the second special holding number is one or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start processing after performing the first special symbol start processing according to the execution of the first special game. On the other hand, when the second special hold number is not one or more, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is one or more. When the first special hold number is not one or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the first special reserve number is one or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process after performing the second special symbol start process according to the execution of the second special game.

  In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a subtracts one from the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update it. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special holding number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a first hold number command capable of specifying the updated first special hold number.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads out, from the main control RAM 40c, the random number information stored first among the random number information for the first special game. Note that, when the main control CPU 40a reads the first random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win a big hit. This processing corresponds to a jackpot lottery (jump determination) whether or not a jackpot. For example, the determination as to whether or not the jackpot is to be won may be made based on whether or not the value of the random number information matches the jackpot determination value. For example, the determination as to whether or not the jackpot is to be won may be made based on whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the jackpot determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

  When the jackpot is won, the main control CPU 40a determines a jackpot symbol to be derived in the first special game and a variation pattern of the first special game. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the jackpot symbol and the variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, control information (hereinafter referred to as a symbol command) capable of specifying the determined jackpot symbol and control information (hereinafter referred to as a fluctuation pattern designation command) capable of specifying a fluctuation pattern. End the first special symbol start process.

  In the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a subtracts one from the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update it. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated second special hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a second hold number command capable of specifying the updated second special hold number.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the second special game from the main control RAM 40c. Note that, when the main control CPU 40a reads the first random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win a big hit. This processing corresponds to a jackpot lottery (jump determination) whether or not a jackpot. When the jackpot is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot symbol to be derived in the second special game and the variation pattern of the second special game. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the jackpot symbol and the variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a stores the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command in the output buffer, and ends the second special symbol start process.

  Then, when the special symbol start process is ended, the main control CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute the special game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a counts the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is derived when the variation time associated with the variation pattern has elapsed. In addition, when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start process has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a instructs the fluctuation stop of the effect pattern, and outputs the game end command for deriving the symbol combination. Store in

Next, the big hit process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the big hit process, the main control CPU 40a identifies the type of big hit game based on the big hit symbol (ie, the type of big hit) determined in the special symbol start process. Then, after the end of the special game of the big hit, the main control CPU 40a starts control to grant the specified big hit game. Therefore, the main control CPU 40a gives a big hit game by executing the big hit process. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the jackpot game is awarded after the jackpot is won.

  When the big game special game is over, the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer. Also, when the opening command is stored in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a counts the opening time. Further, when the opening time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a performs processing for executing a round game. That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the actuator so as to open the big winning opening 29 in accordance with the opening mode (opening pattern) set to the big hit game, and starts the round game. After the start of the round game, when the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a controls the actuator so that the large winning opening 29 is closed, and ends the round game. The main control CPU 40a repeatedly performs the process for executing the round game until the round game of the upper limit number of times set for the big hit game is ended. In addition, the main control CPU 40a stores a round command in the output buffer each time a round game is started. Incidentally, even during the same type of big hit game, the main control CPU 40a stores different round commands in the output buffer for each round game. For example, the round command output with the start of the first round game is different from the round command output with the start of the second round game.

  Further, when the final round game is finished, the main control CPU 40a stores an ending command in the output buffer. In addition, when the ending command is stored in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a counts the ending time. Then, when the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a ends the big hit game.

Next, the gaming state process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a specifies the gaming state to be awarded after the end of the big hit game, based on the big hit symbol (ie, the type of big hit) determined in the special symbol start process. When the main control CPU 40a specifies the low probability state, the probability state flag is stored in the main control RAM 40c with a value capable of specifying control to the low probability state when the big hit game is ended. Set to When the main control CPU 40a specifies the assignment of the high probability state, when ending the big hit game, it sets a value capable of specifying control to the high probability state in the probability state flag.

  The main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control to be in the high base state in the base state flag when ending the big hit game, when specifying the giving of the high base state. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as "high base state command") capable of specifying that the high base state is in the output buffer. When the main control CPU 40a specifies the application of the high base state for which the upper limit number has been determined, the main control CPU 40a stores the number corresponding to the upper limit number in the main control RAM 40c as the remaining number of special games for applying the high base state.

  The main control CPU 40 a subtracts one from the remaining number stored in the main control RAM 40 c each time the special game is executed. When the remaining number becomes 0, the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control to be in the low base state as a base state flag when the special game whose remaining number becomes 0 is ended. That is, the main control CPU 40a ends the high base state and shifts to the low base state. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as "low base state command") capable of specifying that the low base state is in the output buffer.

  Incidentally, when the big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control to the low probability state as the probability state flag and a value capable of specifying control to the low base state. Set to base status flag. Also, the main control CPU 40a stores the low base state command in the output buffer.

Next, normal symbol input processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the gaming ball has passed (entered) the gate 31 based on whether a detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE4. If the gaming ball has not passed through the gate 31, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the gaming ball passes the gate 31, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of normal reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). . If the normal holding number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. If the normal holding number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the normal holding number stored in the main control RAM 40c and updates it. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated number of normal reservations.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main substrate 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. In this case, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the normal game and the storage order of the random number information so as to be identifiable. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, normal symbol start processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied. The main control CPU 40a makes a positive determination if it is not in a normal hit game and not in a normal game, but determines negative in a normal hit game or in a normal game. When the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of normal reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c is one or more. If the normal number of reservations is not one or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. If the normal holding number is one or more, the main control CPU 40a subtracts one from the normal holding number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update it. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated number of normal reservations is displayed. Next, the main control CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random game information for the normal game from the main control RAM 40c. Note that, when the main control CPU 40a reads the first random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c.

  Next, based on the read random number information and the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win a normal hit. This processing corresponds to a normal hit lottery (normal hit determination) as to whether or not it is a normal hit. For example, when adopting the above-described probability variation control of the normal symbol, the main control CPU 40a is normally hit so that the probability of winning in the normal hit is higher in the high base state compared to the low base state. It is preferable to determine whether or not to win.

  In the case of winning in the normal hit, the main control CPU 40a determines the normal hit symbol derived in the normal game and the fluctuation time of the normal game. For example, when adopting the variation time reduction control of the normal symbol, the main control CPU 40a determines the first variation time in the low base state, and the second variation time shorter than the first variation time in the high base state You should decide. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a executes the normal game by performing processing other than the normal symbol start processing. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a causes the normal game to start, and when the fluctuation time determined in the normal symbol start process has elapsed, the information display is performed so that the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process is derived. Control the panel 22;

Next, the normal hit process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
If the normal hit is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the opening pattern of the second starting port 27 when the normal game is over, and the second starting port 27 is opened according to the determined opening pattern. , Control the actuator. For example, when adopting the above-described open time extension control, the main control CPU 40a selects the first open pattern in the low base state, and in the high base state, the game per normal game than the first open pattern. It is preferable to determine a second opening pattern in which the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in the second opening is long.

  In the present embodiment, it is easier to win a normal hit when in the high base state than in the low base state. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is configured to be able to win a normal hit even in the low base state, and when the normal hit lottery is won, the first variable member 28 is selected. It will be open. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the base is in the low base state, it is difficult for the gaming ball to enter the second start opening 27 compared to the high base state, but to the second start opening 27 There is a possibility that the game ball will enter the ball.

  However, when in the low base state, the game ball may not enter the second starting opening 27. For example, the low base state may be configured not to win the normal hit, and the low base state may be such that the first variable member 28 does not open even if the normal hit is won. It may be configured.

Next, various processes performed by the sub control CPU 50a based on the sub control program will be described.
First, state processing performed by the sub control CPU 50a will be described.

  When the low base state command is input, the sub control CPU 50a sets a value that can identify the low base state to the base state flag stored in the sub control RAM 50c. When the high base state command is input, the sub control CPU 50a sets a value that can identify the high base state to the base state flag stored in the sub control RAM 50c. The sub control CPU 50a can specify whether the current gaming state is the high base state or the low base state by referring to the base state flag stored in the sub control RAM 50c.

  When the sub-control CPU 50a receives the opening command, the sub-control CPU 50a sets a value capable of specifying that a big hit is in progress in the big hit state flag stored in the secondary control RAM 50 c. When the sub-control CPU 50a inputs an ending command and then inputs a variation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 50a sets a value capable of specifying that a big hit is not in progress in the big hit status flag stored in the secondary control RAM 50 c. The sub control CPU 50a can specify whether or not the big hit game is in progress by referring to the big hit state flag stored in the sub control RAM 50 c.

Next, the jackpot effect process performed by the sub control CPU 50a will be described.
The sub control CPU 50a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that a big hit effect is performed during the big hit game. Specifically, when an opening command is input, the sub control CPU 50a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that an opening effect is performed. In addition, when the round command is input, the sub control CPU 50a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that a round effect is performed. Further, when the ending control command is input, the sub control CPU 50a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the ending effect is performed.

Next, the effect game process performed by the sub control CPU 50a will be described.
The sub control CPU 50 a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 such that an effect game as a general effect or an effect accompanying the effect game is performed. Specifically, when the sub-control CPU 50a inputs a symbol command and a fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 50a performs control to execute an effect game. That is, the sub-control CPU 50a determines a symbol combination to be derived in the effect game based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command. If the symbol that can be identified from the symbol command is a big hit symbol, the sub control CPU 50a determines a symbol combination of the big hit by the effect symbol. When the symbol that can be identified from the symbol command is a detached symbol, the sub-control CPU 50a determines a symbol combination of the symbol pattern due to the effect symbol.

  When the reach condition is established, the sub-control CPU 50a may determine a symbol combination including a reach, when performing a reach effect in the current effect game. For example, as the reach condition, among the out-of-out fluctuation patterns, it may be defined that the fluctuation pattern for reach effect is designated, the sub control CPU 50a performs the effect lottery using a predetermined random number, and the effect lottery You may decide that you have won.

  In addition, when the fluctuation pattern specification command is input, the sub control CPU 50a controls the effect display device 25 so as to change and display the effect pattern. That is, the sub control CPU 50a starts the effect game. For this reason, the variation pattern specification command can be said to be control information for instructing the start of the effect game based on the variation pattern. Further, the sub control CPU 50a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that a predetermined effect is executed based on the change pattern which can be identified from the change pattern designation command. Do. For example, as the predetermined effect, there is a big hit advance effect, a suggestion effect that suggests a game state, and the like.

  Then, when the predetermined timing comes, the sub-control CPU 50a causes the symbol combination with the determined rendering symbol to be temporarily displayed, and causes the symbol combination by the rendering symbol to be derived in response to the input of the game end command. The sub-control CPU 50a may count a variation time that can be identified from the variation pattern, regardless of the game end command, and may derive a symbol combination triggered by the passage of the variation time. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

  Here, based on FIG. 5, an example of connection of the magnetic sensors ZS1 to ZS3, the magnetic sensors ZS1 to ZS3 and the game board input / output board 42 will be described. In addition, 1st magnetic sensor ZS1, 2nd magnetic sensor ZS2, and 3rd magnetic sensor ZS3 with which the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is provided are the same. In FIG. 5, among the magnetic sensors ZS1 to ZS3, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 will be described as an example.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 includes a power supply circuit 71, a magnetic sensor main circuit 72, resistors R1 to R5, a transistor Tr, and diodes D1 to D3. In the present embodiment, the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 includes a magnetic detection unit that detects magnetism. In the present embodiment, the transistor Tr is an NPN transistor. The first magnetic sensor ZS1 also includes a sensor internal power supply Vd (for example, DC 3.3 V). In addition, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 includes a plurality of terminals. Specifically, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 includes a first terminal P1 serving as a power supply terminal, a second terminal P2 serving as a first input terminal, a third terminal P3 serving as a second input terminal, and an output terminal. And a fifth terminal P5 serving as a ground terminal.

  The first terminal P1 is connected to the game board input / output board 42. A predetermined power supply voltage Vcc (for example, 11.4 V) is supplied to the first terminal P1 from the game board input / output board 42. The power supply voltage Vcc supplied from the first terminal P1 is supplied to the power supply circuit 71 provided in the first magnetic sensor ZS1 via the resistor R1. For example, the power supply circuit 71 converts the power supply voltage Vcc supplied from the first terminal P1 into a predetermined power supply voltage (for example, a power supply voltage necessary to operate the magnetic sensor main circuit 72). The power supply voltage converted in the power supply circuit 71 is supplied to the magnetic sensor main circuit 72.

  Further, the sensor internal power supply Vd is connected to the resistor R2. Also, the sensor internal power supply Vd is connected to the resistor R3. The sensor internal power supply Vd branches from the branch point B1 and is connected to the resistor R2 and the resistor R3, respectively. The resistor R2 is connected to the resistor R4. Also, the resistor R2 is connected to the anode of the diode D1. The resistor R2 branches from the branch point B2 and is connected to the resistor R4 and the anode of the diode D1. The cathode of the diode D1 is connected to the third terminal P3. Further, the resistor R4 is connected to the first connection portion K1 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72.

  On the other hand, the resistor R3 is connected to the resistor R5. The resistor R3 is also connected to the anode of the diode D2. The resistor R3 branches from the branch point B3 and is connected to the resistor R5 and the anode of the diode D2. The cathode of the diode D2 is connected to the second terminal P2. Further, the resistor R5 is connected to the second connection portion K2 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72.

  Further, the third connection portion K3 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 is connected to the base of the NPN transistor Tr. In the present embodiment, the transistor Tr corresponds to an output transistor. The emitter of the transistor Tr is connected to the anode of the diode D3. The emitter of the transistor Tr is connected to the fifth terminal P5. The emitter of the transistor Tr branches from the branch point B4 and is connected to the anode of the diode D3 and the fifth terminal P5. The collector of the transistor Tr is connected to the cathode of the diode D3. The collector of the transistor Tr is connected to the fourth terminal P4. The collector of the transistor Tr branches from the branch point B5 and is connected to the cathode of the diode D3 and the fourth terminal P4. In the present embodiment, the diode D3 is a zener diode.

  In the present embodiment, the control signal output from the fourth terminal P4 serves as a magnetic detection signal, and is output from the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means. Thus, in the magnetic sensor, the output method of the magnetic detection signal is an open collector. In addition, the collector of the transistor Tr is an output unit of the magnetic detection signal.

  In the present embodiment, the magnetic detection signal can be in a specific state and a non-specific state. Thus, the states of the magnetic detection signal include a specific state and a non-specific state. In the present embodiment, the specific state is a state where it is possible to specify that the magnetism is detected, and the non-specific state is a state where it is possible to specify that the magnetism is not detected. As described above, in the present embodiment, the states of the magnetic detection signal include a specific state in which the detection of magnetism is detected and a non-specific state in which the detection of magnetism is not detected. Recognize. Further, in principle, the state of the magnetic detection signal in the present embodiment is a specific state when magnetism is detected, and is a non-specific state when magnetism is not detected. Therefore, in principle, when the state in which the magnetism is detected is switched to the state in which the magnetism is not detected, the state of the magnetic detection signal is switched from the specific state to the non-specific state.

  In the present embodiment, in the case where the magnetic sensor detects magnetism and the specific condition is satisfied, the state of the magnetic detection signal is the “specific state”. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the magnetic sensor does not detect magnetism, and when the specific condition is not satisfied even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, the state of the magnetic detection signal is “not specified State. The "specific conditions" mentioned here will be described in detail later.

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, when the state of the magnetic detection signal is the specific state, the output state of the magnetic detection signal is at the low level (LOW-Level). On the other hand, when the state of the magnetic detection signal is a non-specific state in the present embodiment, the output state of the magnetic detection signal is high level (HIGH-Level). When the output state of the magnetic detection signal is low (when the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the specific state) and when the output state of the magnetic detection signal is high (when the state of the magnetic detection signal is not specified) In some cases, the voltage value of the magnetic detection signal is different. In the present embodiment, the voltage value of the magnetic detection signal when the output state of the magnetic detection signal is low is lower than the voltage value of the magnetic detection signal when the output state of the magnetic detection signal is high. . For example, the voltage value of the magnetic detection signal when the output state of the magnetic detection signal is low may be 0 V or a value higher than 0 V.

  The second terminal P2 is connected to the game board input / output board 42. The state of the door open signal is input from the game board input / output board 42 to the second terminal P2. Thus, in the present embodiment, the state of the door open signal corresponding to the open detection signal is input to the magnetic sensor corresponding to the magnetic detection means. In the magnetic sensor, the value of the current I1 flowing into the second connection portion K2 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 changes according to the state of the door open signal (voltage value of the door open signal). That is, the value of the current I1 flowing into the second connection portion K2 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 when the door open signal is in the first state is the value of the current of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 when the door open signal is in the second state. It differs from the value of the current I1 flowing into the second connection K2. For this reason, the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 operates according to the state of the door open signal by operating according to the value (the strength and the size) of the current I1 injected from the second connection portion K2. That is, operating the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 according to the value of the current I1 flowing into the second connection portion K2 corresponds to operating according to the state of the door open signal.

  The third terminal P3 is connected to the game board input / output board 42. The third terminal P3 of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is connected to a resistor Rd1 provided on the game board input / output board 42. Incidentally, the third terminal P3 of the second magnetic sensor ZS2 is connected to the resistor Rd2 provided on the game board input / output board 42. The third terminal P3 of the third magnetic sensor ZS3 is connected to the resistor Rd3 provided on the game board input / output board 42. The resistors Rd1 to Rd3 are variable resistors, and are capable of switching the resistance value by an external operation. In the game board input / output board 42, the resistors Rd1 to Rd3 are grounded.

  In the present embodiment, the resistance value of the resistor Rd1 is configured to be switchable among the resistance value Ra1, the resistance value Ra2, the resistance value Ra3 and the resistance value Ra4. Incidentally, the relationship of resistance values is “resistance value Ra1 <resistance value Ra2 <resistance value Ra3 <resistance value Ra4”, and the resistance value Ra1 is the lowest among the resistance values Ra1 to Ra4.

  In this embodiment, the voltage applied to the first magnetic sensor ZS1 can be switched by switching the resistance value of the resistor Rd1, and the magnetic detection range of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 can be switched. . Similarly, the voltage applied to the second magnetic sensor ZS2 can be switched by switching the resistance value of the resistor Rd2, and the magnetic detection range of the second magnetic sensor ZS2 can be switched. Further, the voltage applied to the third magnetic sensor ZS3 can be switched by switching the resistance value of the resistor Rd3, and the magnetic detection range of the third magnetic sensor ZS3 can be switched. In the present embodiment, the resistor Rd1 corresponds to the first magnetic sensor ZS1, the resistor Rd2 corresponds to the second magnetic sensor ZS2, and the resistor Rd3 corresponds to the third magnetic sensor ZS3.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to switch the detection range of magnetism by the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means. Further, the resistors Rd1 to Rd3 in the present embodiment correspond to predetermined resistors. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when switching the resistance value of a predetermined resistor, switching the voltage applied to the magnetic sensor corresponding to the resistor whose resistance is switched switches the detection range of magnetism by the magnetic sensor. It is configured to be possible.

  In the present embodiment, when the resistance value of the resistor Rd1 is switched, the value of the current I2 flowing into the first connection portion K1 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 is changed. In the magnetic sensor main circuit 72, magnetism is detected in a detection range corresponding to the current I2 flowing from the first connection portion K1. In addition, it can be said that the detection range of magnetism is the sensitivity of magnetism.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 has a connector portion CA including a first terminal P1, a second terminal P2, a third terminal P3 and a fifth terminal P5 on one surface of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. It is provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, in the first magnetic sensor ZS1, on the back surface of the surface provided with the connector portion CA, information HK (detection lottery display capable of specifying the center point J of the magnetic detection range Is written. A magnetic detection range is defined around the center point J of the magnetic detection range.

  And as shown in FIG.6 (c), the detection range of magnetism centering on the central point J of 1st magnetic sensor ZS1 changes with resistance values of resistance Rd1. And in FIG.6 (c), an example of the detection ranges H1-H4 of the magnetism centering on the central point J of 1st magnetic sensor ZS1 in XY plane is shown. Specifically, when the resistor Rd1 has a resistance value Ra1, the detection range of magnetism is a detection range H1. When the resistor Rd1 has a resistance value Ra2, the detection range of magnetism is the detection range H2. Similarly, when the resistor Rd1 has a resistance value Ra3, the detection range of magnetism is a detection range H3. When the resistor Rd1 has a resistance value Ra4, the detection range of magnetism is a detection range H4.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6D, for example, when the resistor Rd1 has a resistance value Ra2, a range extending in the vertical and horizontal directions centering on the central point J of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is a detection range H2.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the fourth terminal P4 is connected to the game board input / output board 42. The state of the magnetic detection signal is output from the fourth terminal P4. When the magnetism is detected and the specific condition is satisfied, a current flows from the third connecting portion K3 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 to the base of the transistor Tr, and the transistor is turned on. On the other hand, when the magnetism is not detected, or when the magnetism is detected and the specific condition is not satisfied, the current from the third connection portion K3 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 to the base of the transistor Tr The transistor Tr is turned off. As described above, in the first magnetic sensor ZS1, when the magnetism is detected and the specific condition is satisfied, the current flows to the base of the transistor Tr while the magnetism is not detected and the magnetism is When it is detected and no specific condition is met, no current flows in the transistor Tr.

  In the present embodiment, when the transistor Tr is turned on, the state of the magnetic detection signal output from the fourth terminal P4 is in the specific state. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the transistor Tr is in the off state, the state of the magnetic detection signal output from the fourth terminal P4 is in the non-specific state.

  In the present embodiment, in principle, current flows from the third connection portion K3 when magnetism is detected, while current does not flow from the third connection portion K3 when magnetism is not detected. The first magnetic sensor ZS1 to the third magnetic sensor ZS3 are normally open (N / O) type sensors.

  The fifth terminal P5 is connected to the game board input / output board 42 and is grounded. Therefore, the emitter of the transistor Tr connected to the fifth terminal P5 is grounded. Thus, the emitter of the transistor Tr corresponding to the output transistor is grounded.

  Hereinafter, the characteristics of the magnetic sensors ZS1 to ZS3 in the present embodiment will be described together with the specific conditions described above. Here, among the magnetic sensors ZS1 to ZS3, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 will be described as an example.

  In the first magnetic sensor ZS1, an initial operation is performed. The first magnetic sensor ZS1 performs an initial operation after the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on (after the power supply is started). The initial operation is also referred to as an initial operation or initial setting (or initial setting operation). The initial operation is performed once in a period from the time when the power is turned on to the time when the power is shut off (from the start of the power supply to the end of the power supply).

  In the initial operation, an operation based on the magnetic field detected in the initial operation is performed. The first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism when the increase / decrease value from the magnetic field referenced in the initial operation exceeds the threshold. Therefore, when the initial operation is performed with the magnet brought close to the first magnetic sensor ZS1, the magnetic field with the magnet brought close to the first magnetic sensor ZS1 becomes the reference.

  The first magnetic sensor ZS1 does not perform the initial operation when the state of the door open signal input from at least the second terminal P2 is the first state after the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on. On the other hand, in the first magnetic sensor ZS1, after the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on, the initial operation is performed at least when the state of the door open signal input from the second terminal P2 is the second state. Thus, in the present embodiment, the initial operation is not performed when the state of the door open signal input to at least the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is the first state, and the door open to input at least the first magnetic sensor ZS1 The initial operation is performed when the state of the signal is the second state.

  For example, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on while both the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, the state of the door open signal input to the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is in the second state. Because there is an initial action. On the other hand, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the state of the door open signal input to the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is the first state. When this is the case, no initial action is taken. After that, when the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are both closed, the state of the door open signal input to the first magnetic sensor ZS1 becomes the second state, so that the first magnetic sensor ZS1 An initial operation is performed. As described above, in the first magnetic sensor ZS1 in the present embodiment, when the power supply is started when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened, the power supply is started after the power supply is started. After the first closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14, the initial operation is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the state of the magnetic detection signal is not a specific state but is a non-specific state. That is, in the present embodiment, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the output state of the magnetism detection state does not become the low level but becomes the high level. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism and the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the specific state. That is, in the present embodiment, when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism and the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the output state of the magnetic detection signal becomes low level.

  In the present embodiment, the predetermined condition is satisfied when the magnetic sensor is performing the initial operation. As described above, the predetermined conditions in the present embodiment include the predetermined conditions that are satisfied when the magnetic sensor is performing the initial operation (the predetermined conditions that are satisfied when the initial operation is performed).

  For this reason, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is performing the initial operation, the state of the magnetic detection signal is not a specific state but is a non-specific state. . That is, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is performing the initial operation, the output state of the magnetic detection signal becomes high level without being low level.

  As described above, in a period from when the initial operation is started to when the initial operation is completed (when the initial operation is performed), even when the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection unit detects the magnetism, It corresponds to a period (first period) in which the state of the detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state. In addition, as described above, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on (when the power supply is started), the first time After the closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 of the frame, an initial operation is performed. Therefore, even when the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism, the middle frame 13 and the period during which the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state (first period) There is a period from the time the power is turned on when at least one of the front frames 14 is opened to the end of the initial operation from the closing of the first middle frame 13 and the front frame 14.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the predetermined condition is satisfied when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open. Thus, as the predetermined condition in the present embodiment, the predetermined condition that is satisfied when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open (the state of the door open signal input to the magnetic sensor is the first There is a predetermined condition that is satisfied by being in the state. In the present embodiment, the predetermined condition that is satisfied when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open corresponds to a specific predetermined condition.

  For this reason, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state, and it is not It becomes a specific state. That is, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the output state of the magnetic detection signal does not go low, but is high. It becomes a level.

  When at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the state of the door open signal input to the second terminal P2 is the first state (the output state of the door open signal is Corresponding to low level). In addition, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the value of the current I1 flowing into the second connection portion K2 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 is the first state of the door open signal. It can also be said that it is the value of the current I1 flowing into the second connection portion K2 when in the state.

  In this manner, if at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the specific state even if the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism. It corresponds to a period (third period) in which the non-specific state is obtained without. That is, while the state of the door open signal input to the second terminal P2 is in the first state, the state of the magnetic detection signal is not set to the specific state without being specified even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism. It corresponds to a period (third period) in which the state is reached. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the state of the door open signal input to the magnetic sensor is the first state, the state of the magnetic detection signal is not in the specific state but in the non-specific state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even when the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, the predetermined condition is that after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, if the initial operation has already been performed. This holds true when the time is up (e.g., within 1 second). Thus, according to the predetermined conditions in the present embodiment, even when the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, if the initial operation has already been performed, the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. There is a predetermined condition that is satisfied when it is within a period until a predetermined time elapses after that. Even when the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, if the initial operation has already been performed, it is within a period until a predetermined time elapses after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. The predetermined condition that is satisfied when the door opening signal is switched from the first state to the second state can be said to be a predetermined condition that is satisfied when a predetermined time has not elapsed.

  Therefore, even if the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, if the initial operation has already been performed, within the predetermined period after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, the magnetic detection signal is detected. The state is not a specific state but a non-specific state. That is, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, when the initial operation has already been performed, the output of the magnetic detection signal is performed within a predetermined period after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. The state goes high, not low. As described above, after the state of the door open signal is switched from the first state to the second state, that is, after the state in which the specific predetermined condition is satisfied is switched to the state in which the specific predetermined condition is not satisfied, Within the period until the lapse of time, even if the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, the state of the magnetic detection signal may not be in the specific state but may be in the non-specific state. That is, after switching from a state in which a specific predetermined condition is satisfied to a state in which the specific predetermined condition is not satisfied, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism within a period until the predetermined time elapses. However, the output state of the magnetic detection signal may be high level without being low level.

  Note that the state of the door open signal input to the second terminal P2 has switched from the first state to the second state within the period until the predetermined time elapses after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. It can be said that it is also within a period until a predetermined time elapses (within a period until the predetermined time elapses after the output state of the door open signal is switched from the low level to the high level). Within the period until the predetermined time elapses after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, the value of the current I1 flows into the second connection K2 when the state of the door open signal is the first state It can be said that it is also within a period from when the state of the door open signal is switched to the value of the current I1 flowing into the second connection portion K2 from the value of the current I1 to the predetermined time.

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the time required for the initial operation (the time from the start of the initial operation to the end of the initial operation) is longer than a predetermined time. For this reason, even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism while the initial operation is being performed, the period during which the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state is the middle frame 13 and the front frame Even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism until a predetermined time elapses after the closing of the H. 14, the state of the magnetic detection signal is longer than the period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state.

  As described above, even when the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, if the initial operation has already been performed, until the predetermined time elapses after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. The period corresponds to a period (second period) in which the state of the magnetic detection signal is not in a specific state but is in a non-specific state even when the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on (when the power supply is started). After the first middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, an initial operation is performed. Therefore, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, a predetermined time after the closing of the second and subsequent middle frames 13 and the front frame 14 The period until the elapse of time is a period (second period) in which the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter a specific state but enters a non-specific state even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism. That is, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened, the initial operation is performed after the first middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. A period being performed (first period) is a “period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter a specific state but enters a non-specific state even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism”. On the other hand, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened, a predetermined time is taken after the second and subsequent middle frames 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. The period until the lapse of (second period) becomes “a period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter a specific state but enters a non-specific state even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism”.

  Even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, the period during which the initial operation is performed (the first period), and the period during which the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state. A period (second period) until a predetermined time elapses after the frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, and a period (third period) in which at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open There is. That is, even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, during the period when the output state of the magnetic detection signal does not become low level but becomes high level, the first period, the second period, and the third period There is a period. The first period is longer than the second period. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the first period and the second period are constant periods, while the third period is an indefinite period.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state even if the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism during the period during which the initial operation is being performed or until the predetermined time has elapsed. Even in this case, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state. In the present embodiment, the period during which the initial operation is performed and the period until the predetermined time elapses correspond to the predetermined period. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the specific state within a predetermined period after the state of the door open signal input to the first magnetic sensor ZS1 has changed from the first state to the second state. It will not be in a non-specific state. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the output state of the magnetic detection signal is low level within a predetermined period after the output state of the door open signal input to the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is switched from low level to high level. It will not be high level.

  Since it is comprised as mentioned above, even if the state of the door open signal inputted into the 1st magnetic sensor ZS1 changes from the 1st state to the 2nd state, the 1st magnetic sensor ZS1 detected magnetism Even in this case, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become the specific state but becomes the non-specific state at least within a predetermined period after the state of the door open signal changes from the first state to the second state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even if magnetism is detected after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed depending on whether magnetism is detected when the state of the door open signal is in the first state, magnetism detection is performed. The length of the period (predetermined period) in which the state of the signal is in a non-specific state without being in a specific state does not change. Therefore, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism when the state of the door open signal is the first state, and when the state of the door open signal is the first state. In the case where the state of the door open signal is changed from the first state to the second state in the case where the state of the door open signal is changed from the first state to the second state, the lengths of periods during which the state of the magnetic detection .

  Further, in the present embodiment, the state of the magnetic detection signal is detected even if the magnetism is detected regardless of whether the magnetic sensor detects the magnetism before the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. The length of the period (predetermined period) in which the signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state does not change. Therefore, when one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, and one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened. In the case where the first magnetic sensor ZS1 does not detect magnetism at the same time, the length of the period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state is equal.

As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, a period is provided in which the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter the specific state but is in the non-specific state.
Further, in the present embodiment, the detection range of magnetism by the first magnetic sensor ZS1 can be switched, but the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism by the detection range of magnetism by the first magnetic sensor ZS1. Even in this case, the length of the period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state does not change. Therefore, even if the magnetic detection range is switched, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not change to the specific state even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism by switching the magnetic detection range. The length of the nonspecific state period does not change. For this reason, in the present embodiment, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, it is considered that the length of the period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state changes. There is no need to switch the magnetic detection range.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the detection range of magnetism by the first magnetic sensor ZS1 can be switched, but the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism by the detection range of magnetism by the first magnetic sensor ZS1. Even in this case, the presence or absence of the period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state does not change. Therefore, even if the magnetic detection range is switched, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not change to the specific state even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism by switching the magnetic detection range. There is no change in the presence or absence of the nonspecific state period. For this reason, in the present embodiment, for example, even when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism, a change in the presence or absence of a period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal is not a specific state but not a specific state is considered. There is no need to switch the magnetic detection range.

Here, the “specific conditions” in the present embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, the specific condition is not the time when the initial operation is being performed, but the state of the door open signal is not the first state, and the predetermined state is after the state of the door open signal is switched from the first state to the second state. It is established when it is not a period until time passes. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the time when the predetermined condition is not satisfied corresponds to the time when the specific condition is satisfied.

  When the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism when the specific condition is satisfied, a current flows from the third connection portion K3 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 to the base of the transistor Tr. Thereby, the transistor Tr is turned on. The state of the magnetic detection signal from the fourth terminal P4 of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is a specific state. That is, the output state of the magnetic detection signal from the fourth terminal P4 of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 becomes low level.

  On the other hand, when the first magnetic sensor ZS1 does not detect magnetism when the specific condition is satisfied, no current flows from the third connection portion K3 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 to the base of the transistor Tr. . Thereby, the transistor Tr is turned off. Then, the state of the magnetic detection signal from the fourth terminal P4 of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 becomes a non-specific state. That is, the output state of the magnetic detection signal from the fourth terminal P4 of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 becomes high level.

  Incidentally, when the specific condition is not satisfied, that is, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, whether the first magnetic sensor ZS1 detects magnetism or does not detect the magnetism, the first magnetic sensor ZS1 No current flows from the third connection portion K3 of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 to the base of the transistor Tr, and the transistor Tr is turned off. Therefore, the state of the magnetic detection signal from the fourth terminal P4 of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 is in a non-specific state. That is, the output state of the magnetic detection signal from the fourth terminal P4 of the first magnetic sensor ZS1 becomes high level.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as described above, the state of the magnetic detection signal is input to the game board input / output board 42 and then to the main board 40 connected to the game board input / output board 42. It is input. Then, the main control CPU 40a of the main board 40 performs various processes in accordance with the state of the magnetic detection signal (the output state of the magnetic detection signal).

There is processing performed by the main control CPU 40a in accordance with the state of the magnetic detection signal (hereinafter referred to as magnetic detection processing).
In the magnetic detection process, when the state of the input magnetic detection signal is a specific state (that is, when the output state of the magnetic detection signal is at a low level), the main control CPU 40a determines predetermined control information (hereinafter referred to as magnetic detection) Store control information in the output buffer. The magnetism detection control information is control information that is output when the state of the magnetism detection signal is in a specific state, so that it can be said that the magnetism detection control information can be identified as magnetism detection.

  When the sub-control CPU 50a of the sub-substrate 50 inputs the magnetic detection control information, the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device are performed so that the magnetic detection informing effect of notifying that the magnetic is detected is performed. Control at least one of the twenty-five. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the decoration lamp 17 to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode, controls a warning sound to be output from the speaker 18, and specifies that magnetism is detected. A possible image is controlled to be displayed on the effect display device 25. In the magnetism detection informing effect in the present embodiment, information capable of specifying that the magnetism has been detected is notified.

  When the effect game is executed in the effect display device 25, the sub control CPU 50a stops the execution of the effect game, and the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect are performed so that the magnetic detection notification effect is performed. Alternatively, at least one of the display devices 25 may be controlled. Moreover, in this embodiment, although it comprised so that a magnetic information production might be performed using the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the presentation display apparatus 25, some of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the presentation display apparatus 25 are used. A magnetic notification effect may be provided. Further, in the present embodiment, since the magnetic notification effect is performed by inputting the magnetic detection control information to the sub control CPU 50a, the magnetic detection control information is to perform the magnetic notification effect (the magnetism is detected. Can be said to be control information instructing to broadcast information that can be specified.

  Further, in the magnetic detection process, when the state of the input magnetic detection signal is in a specific state (that is, when the output state of the magnetic detection signal is at a low level), the main control CPU 40a outputs the specific external signal. Control. As described above, the main control CPU 40a outputs a specific external signal on condition that the state of the magnetic detection signal is the specific state. The specific external signal corresponds to an external signal output from the specific connection terminal when a specific connection terminal of the connection terminals of the external terminal plate 46 is connected to the external device.

  When the main control CPU 40a controls the output of a specific external signal, when a specific connection terminal and an external device are connected, a specific external signal is output to the external device. The specific external signal is an external signal that is output when the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the specific state, so that it can be said that the external signal can identify that magnetism has been detected. As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that realizes the function as the control unit can control the output of the external signal output from the connection terminal. Then, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that realizes the function as the control means controls the output of a specific external signal when the magnetism can be detected.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism. Therefore, even when the connection terminal and the external device are connected, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, a specific external signal is detected even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism. Is not output to the external device.

  In the present embodiment, within a predetermined period after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism. Therefore, even when the connection terminal and the external device are connected, within a predetermined period after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed (within a predetermined period after the door member is closed), Even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, a specific external signal is not output to the external device.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the magnetic sensor is performing an initial operation after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, The state of the output magnetic detection signal is not a specific state. Therefore, even when the connection terminal and the external device are connected, when the magnetic sensor is performing the initial operation, even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, a specific external signal is output to the external device. I will not.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the state of the magnetic detection signal is a specific state even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism within a period until a predetermined time elapses after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. It does not take. Therefore, even when the connection terminal and the external device are connected, the magnetic sensor detects magnetism within a period until the predetermined time passes after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. However, no specific external signal is output to the external device.

  In the present embodiment, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open (when the power supply is started), the middle of the first time The initial operation is performed after the frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, and when the initial operation is performed, the external signal is not output to the external device even if the connection terminal and the external device are connected. Furthermore, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened, a predetermined time after the closing of the second and subsequent middle frames 13 and the front frame 14 When the initial operation is being performed, no external signal is output to the external device even if the connection terminal and the external device are connected. In the present embodiment, the time required for the initial operation (the time from the start of the initial operation to the end of the initial operation) in the present embodiment is longer than a predetermined time.

  When the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on while at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the power is turned on. A period during which a specific external signal is not output to an external device even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism from the first closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 after that is referred to as a “period T1”. In addition, when the connection terminal and the external device are connected and the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the power is turned on. A period during which a specific external signal is not output to an external device even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism from the second and subsequent closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is referred to as "period T2". In this case, the period T1 is longer than the period T2.

  In the magnetic detection process, when the state of the input magnetic detection signal is a specific state, the main control CPU 40a performs a process related to a special game (for example, a special symbol start process) or a process related to a regular game (for example, a normal symbol) If the start process is being executed, the process in progress may be canceled. It may be configured to be prohibited to play a game by stopping the process during execution.

  When the game is prohibited in this way, the main control CPU 40a is configured to stop until the power to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is shut off (until the power supply is ended). May be That is, when magnetism is detected, the process related to the special game or the process related to the normal game may be limited until the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on again. Further, in the present embodiment, for example, after the state of the magnetic detection signal becomes the specific state, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter the non-specific state even when the magnetic sensor switches to the state where the magnetic detection is not performed. It may be configured to be continued in the state.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the state of the door open signal is input to the main board 40 after being input to the front frame signal board 49. Then, the main control CPU 40a of the main board 40 performs processing according to the state of the door open signal (the output state of the door open signal).

  Specifically, when the state of the door open signal to be input is the first state (that is, the output state of the door open signal is the low level), the main control CPU 40a determines predetermined control information (hereinafter referred to as the door). Store the release control information in the output buffer. Since the door opening control information is control information output when the state of the door opening signal is the first state, control capable of specifying that at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened. It can be said that it is information.

  Then, when the door opening control information is input, the sub control CPU 50a of the sub substrate 50 notifies that at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open (the door member is open). At least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is controlled such that the door opening notification effect is performed. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the decorative lamp 17 to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode, and controls audio such as "the door is open" to be output from the speaker 18. Control is performed such that a character image such as "the door is open" is displayed on the effect display device 25. In the door opening notification effect in the present embodiment, information that can specify that at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open (the door member is open) is notified.

  Here, based on FIGS. 7A to 7C, the characteristics of the magnetic sensor in the present embodiment and the operation thereof will be described using a timing chart. In the description of FIG. 7, “when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open” means “when the state of the door open signal is the first state (the output state of the door open signal is low) It corresponds to "when it is a level". Similarly, in the description of FIG. 7, “when the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed” means “when the state of the door open signal is the second state (the output state of the door open signal is high level When it corresponds to

  In FIG. 7A, it is assumed that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on (power supply is started) when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open. On the other hand, in FIGS. 7B and 7C, it is assumed that the initial operation of the magnetic sensor has already been completed.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, after the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened, the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 at timing t11 In the case of a closed, in the magnetic sensor an initial operation takes place. As described above, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the initial operation is not performed, and the initial operation is performed after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed.

  Incidentally, it is assumed that the initial operation in FIG. 7A is performed from timing t11 to timing t12. During the period in which the initial operation is performed (the period from timing t11 to timing t12), for example, even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism from timing t13 to timing t14 in the period in which the initial operation is performed, The state of the detection signal is in a non-specific state without being in a specific state.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, it is assumed that at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is released at timing t21. Then, even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism from timing t22 to timing t23 in a period in which at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the state of the magnetic detection signal is not a specific state and is not It becomes a specific state. Incidentally, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened at timing t21, the door open notification effect is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, it is assumed that at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is released at timing t31. Then, it is assumed that the magnetic sensor detects magnetism at timing t32 before the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed after at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is released at timing t31. At timing t32, since at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the state of the magnetic detection signal is in a non-specific state without being in a specific state.

  Further, it is assumed that the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed at timing t33 when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism. The timing t33 is a timing before the timing t34 when a predetermined time elapses after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed although the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed. For this reason, from timing t33 to timing t34 when a predetermined time passes, even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, the state of the magnetic detection signal is not a specific state but is in a non-specific state.

  And after timing t34 when predetermined time passes after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, when a magnetic sensor is detecting magnetism, the state of a magnetic detection signal will be in a specific state. As described above, when the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the specific state, the magnetic detection notification effect is performed, and a specific external signal is output to the external device connected to the connection terminal. Incidentally, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened at timing t31, a door open notification effect is performed.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The door open signal (open detection signal) is input to the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means, and when the door open signal is in the first state, the initial operation by the magnetic sensor is performed. I tried not to be. Thereby, for example, it is possible to suppress that the initial operation is performed under a situation where the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are opened and the magnetism (magnetism not intended to be fraudulent) of the magnet of the speaker is detected.

  In addition, since the initial operation is performed when at least the state of the door open signal is the second state, the initial state is performed under a situation where magnetism is detected along with the opening of at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 It is also possible to perform an initial operation so that the magnetic sensor can function properly while suppressing the operation from being performed.

  (2) When at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened (when the door member is opened), for example, the magnetism of the magnet of the speaker of the game machine installed adjacent is detected magnetically A magnetic sensor as a means may detect. However, when the state of the door open signal (open detection signal) is in the first state, the state of the magnetic detection signal is not in the specific state but in the non-specific state. As described above, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state in a situation where the magnetic sensor can detect magnetism which is not intended to be wrong by opening at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14. As a result, it is possible to suppress a situation in which playing a game is prohibited due to the detection of magnetism which does not intend fraud.

  (3) When the pachinko game machine 10 shakes due to an impact or the like in which the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed (the door member is closed), the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects the magnetism not intended to be illegal. It is also conceivable. Therefore, even after the state of the door open signal (open detection signal) changes from the first state to the second state, the state of the magnetic detection signal is specified within a period (predetermined period) until a predetermined time elapses. It did not become a state, but was made to become a non-specific state. As a result, it is possible to suppress a situation in which playing a game is prohibited by detecting the magnetism which does not intend to be illegal immediately after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed.

  (4) Even if the magnetism is detected before the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed (the door member is closed), the state of the door open signal (open detection signal) is from the first state to the first state In a predetermined period (during an initial operation or a period until a predetermined time has elapsed) after the two states are reached, the state of the magnetic detection signal is not a specific state but is a non-specific state I made it. As a result, it is possible to suppress a situation in which playing a game is prohibited due to the detection of magnetism which does not intend to do wrong before the closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14.

  (5) Before the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed (the door member is closed), regardless of whether the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects the magnetism, the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 The length of the period during which the state of the magnetic detection signal is not a specific state but is a non-specific state after the closure of. As a result, it is not necessary to change the phenomenon that occurs depending on whether the magnetic sensor detects magnetism before the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, and the configuration of the magnetic sensor can be simplified. .

  (6) The door open signal (open detection signal) is input to the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means, and when the door open signal is in the first state, the initial operation by the magnetic sensor is performed. I tried not to be. Thereby, for example, it is possible to suppress that the initial operation is performed under a situation where the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are opened and the magnetism (magnetism not intended to be fraudulent) of the magnet of the speaker is detected.

  In addition, when the power is turned on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened (the door member is opened) (when the power supply is started), 1 after the power is turned on. After the closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 of the turn, the initial operation is performed. Therefore, after the power is turned on, the middle frame 13 and the front are turned on while suppressing that the initial operation is performed under the situation where the magnetism is detected with the opening of at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14. It is also possible to perform an initial operation so that the magnetic sensor can function normally before the frame 14 is closed and the game is started.

  (7) Even when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open (when the door member is open), even if the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism Certain external signals are not output. This prevents the administrator of the external device (for example, the administrator of the game machine) who inputs a specific external signal from detection of magnetism that does not intend to be fraudulent (for example, the administrator of a gaming machine) being reported as fraudulent it can.

  (8) When the pachinko game machine 10 shakes due to an impact or the like in which the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed (the door member is closed), the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism not intended to be illegal. It is also conceivable. Therefore, even after the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed, a specific external signal is not output within a predetermined period. As a result, the administrator of the external device (for example, the administrator of the game machine) who inputs a specific external signal (for example, the administrator of the gaming machine) detects fraudulent magnetism immediately after closing the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14. It can be suppressed that it is reported as being lost.

  (9) When at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open (when the door member is open), the state of the magnetic detection signal is in the non-specific state without being in the specific state. Therefore, no specific external signal is output. This prevents the administrator of the external device (for example, the administrator of the game machine) who inputs a specific external signal from detection of magnetism that does not intend to be fraudulent (for example, the administrator of a gaming machine) being reported as fraudulent it can.

  (10) When power is turned on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, magnetism is detected from the first closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 The period during which no specific external signal is output is longer than the period during which no specific external signal is output even when magnetism is detected from the closing of the second and subsequent middle frames 13 and the front frame 14. By the way, it is assumed that the closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 (closing of the door member) for the second and subsequent times after power on (after power supply start) is during business hours of the game arcade. For this reason, if a specific external signal is not output for a long period after the closing of the door member, the risk of fraudulent action during that period increases, or the waiting time of the player until the period ends is long. It is possible to become Therefore, by shortening the length of a period in which a specific external signal is not output even when magnetism is detected from the closing of the second and subsequent middle frames 13 and front frames 14, a specific external signal can be obtained. It is possible to reduce the risk of fraudulent activity during a period in which no output is made, or to shorten the waiting time of the player.

  (11) When the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects the magnetism, the condition of the magnetic detection signal does not become the specific state but becomes the non-specific state when the predetermined condition is satisfied, while the predetermined condition is not satisfied. The state of the magnetic detection signal is in a specific state. As described above, under the condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become the specific state even if the magnetic sensor detects the magnetism. This makes it possible to detect magnetism more appropriately than in the case where the magnetism detection state becomes a specific state even if the magnetism sensor simply detects magnetism.

  (12) As a magnetic detection means within a period until a predetermined time elapses after switching from a state in which a specific predetermined condition of a plurality of types of predetermined conditions is satisfied to a state in which the specific predetermined conditions are not satisfied. Even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter a specific state but is in a non-specific state. In this way, it is possible to prevent a situation in which playing a game is prohibited due to detection of magnetism which does not intend to be illegal in connection with switching to a state where a specific predetermined condition is not established. And more appropriate magnetic detection can be performed.

  (13) Even when the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism, the period of the first period or the second period is a period during which the state of the magnetic detection signal is in a non-specific state without being in a specific state. So there are multiple periods. By this, it is possible to provide "a period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state but becomes a non-specific state even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism" according to the situation, and the magnetic is more appropriately It becomes possible to detect.

  (14) When at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened (when the door member is opened), there is a possibility that the magnetic sensor may detect the magnetism which is not intended to be wrong like the magnet of the magnet of the speaker. is there. Then, in the “period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter a specific state and becomes a non-specific state even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism”, separately from the first period and the second period, There is a period (third period) in which at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open. Thus, the state of the magnetic detection signal is prevented from becoming a specific state even in a period in which at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened separately from the first period and the second period. And more appropriate magnetic detection can be performed.

  (15) When power is turned on when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, even when magnetism is detected from the first closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14, magnetic detection is performed. The period during which the signal does not enter the specific state is longer than the period during which the magnetic detection signal does not enter the specific state, even when magnetism is detected from the closing of the second and subsequent middle frames 13 and the front frame 14. By the way, it is assumed that the closing of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 (closing of the door member) for the second and subsequent times after power on (after power supply start) is during business hours of the game arcade. For this reason, even when magnetism is detected from the closing of the door member, if the period during which the magnetic detection signal is not in a specific state is long, the risk of fraudulent action during that period increases, or the period until the end of the period It is conceivable that the waiting time of the player becomes long. Therefore, by shortening the period during which the magnetic detection signal does not enter a specific state even when magnetism is detected from the closing of the second and subsequent middle frames 13 and the front frame 14, fraud is caused in a period during which a specific external signal is not output. It is possible to lower the risk of an action being taken and to shorten the waiting time of the player.

  (16) The magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means has the transistor Tr as the output transistor. The transistor Tr is on when the magnetism is detected and the specific condition is satisfied, while the transistor Tr is on when the magnetism is not detected and when the magnetism is detected, and the specific condition is It is turned off when not established. The state of the magnetic detection signal can be changed (switched) using such an on state or an off state of the transistor Tr.

  (17) When at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is opened (when the door member is opened), for example, the magnetism of the magnet of the speaker of the game machine installed adjacent is detected magnetically A magnetic sensor as a means may detect. For this reason, magnetic detection can be more appropriately performed by establishing the predetermined condition by at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 being open. In addition, when at least one of the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 is open, the initial operation is performed after the first middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed after power on (power supply is started). Then, the predetermined condition is established because the initial operation is performed. As a result, the initial operation can be normally performed because the state of the magnetic detection signal does not become a specific state during the initial operation, and as a result, the magnetic detection can be appropriately performed by normally performing the initial operation. become able to.

  (18) Even when the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism, a period is provided in which the state of the magnetic detection signal is not in the specific state but in the non-specific state. For this reason, even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, the magnetic detection signal is detected even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism during a period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter a specific state but is in a non-specific state. State does not enter a specific state. This makes it possible to detect magnetism more appropriately than when the state of the magnetism detection signal is in a specific state even if the magnetism sensor simply detects magnetism. Further, by configuring the detection range of magnetism to be switchable, for example, when it is preferable to widen the detection range, it is possible to widely switch the magnetism detection range, but when it is not preferable to widen the detection range The detection range can be switched narrowly, and appropriate magnetic detection can be performed.

  (19) When the pachinko gaming machine 10 shakes due to an impact or the like in which the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14 are closed (the door member is closed), the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism not intended to be illegal. It is also conceivable. Therefore, during the period from when the state of the door open signal (open detection signal) changes from the first state to the second state, until the predetermined time elapses, the magnetic detection signal is detected even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism. The period is a period during which the state of is not a specific state but is a non-specific state. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which playing a game is prohibited by detecting magnetism which does not intend to be fraudulent immediately after closing the middle frame 13 and the front frame 14, which is appropriate. Magnetic detection can be performed.

  (20) Depending on the detection range of magnetism, even if the magnetic sensor as the magnetism detection means detects magnetism, the length of the period when the state of the magnetism detection signal is not specified state but not specified state does not change . Therefore, even if the detection of magnetism is switched, even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, a change occurs in the length of a period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter a specific state but enters a non-specific state. Therefore, appropriate magnetic detection can be performed. In addition, even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, it is not necessary to switch the magnetism detection range in consideration of the change in the length of the period when the state of the magnetism detection signal is not in the specific state but in the nonspecific state. .

  (21) Depending on the detection range of the magnetism, even if the magnetic sensor as the magnetism detection means detects magnetism, there is no change in the presence or absence of a period in which the state of the magnetism detection signal is in a nonspecific state without entering a specific state. . For this reason, even if the magnetic detection range is switched, even if the magnetic sensor detects magnetism in a similar manner, a period is provided in which the state of the magnetic detection signal does not enter a specific state but is in a non-specific state. As a result, appropriate magnetic detection can be performed. In addition, even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism, it is not necessary to switch the magnetic detection range in consideration of the presence or absence of a period in which the state of the magnetic detection signal is not a specific state and is in a non-specific state.

  (22) By switching the resistance value of the resistor Rd1 corresponding to a predetermined resistor, it is possible to switch the detection range of magnetism by the first magnetic sensor ZS1 corresponding to the magnetic detection means. That is, the detection range of the magnetism by the first magnetic sensor ZS1 can be switched by switching the resistance value of the resistor Rd1 on the electric circuit. As described above, the detection range of magnetism is switched due to the lack of control by switching the detection range of magnetism by physically switching the resistance value instead of switching the detection range of magnetism by control of the first magnetic sensor ZS1. It is possible to suppress the phenomenon such as the problem and to perform more appropriate detection of magnetism.

  (23) Even when the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism, the output state of the magnetic detection signal becomes high level without being low level when the predetermined condition is satisfied. On the other hand, when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism and the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the output state of the magnetism detection signal becomes low level. As described above, under the condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the output state of the magnetic detection signal does not become low even if the magnetic sensor detects the magnetism. Thereby, even if the magnetic sensor simply detects the magnetism, it is possible to detect the magnetism more appropriately than in the case where the output state of the magnetism detection signal becomes the low level.

  In addition, when disconnection occurs in the electric circuit of the magnetic sensor, no current flows in the electric circuit, so it is assumed that the output state of the magnetic detection signal becomes low level. For example, disconnection occurred in the electric circuit of the magnetic sensor by using the fact that the output state of the magnetic detection signal is low when the magnetic detection is in progress and the specific condition is satisfied. Even in such a case, the output state of the magnetic detection signal becomes low level to notify that the magnetism has been detected or the like, so that it is possible to notify that the magnetic sensor is abnormal.

  (24) By setting the output method of the magnetic detection signal as the open collector, it is possible to switch the output state of the magnetic detection signal in consideration of measures against static electricity and noise. As a result, it is possible to suppress the detection of improper magnetism caused by the output state of the magnetism detection signal not becoming an appropriate output state due to static electricity or noise, and it is possible to perform appropriate detection of magnetism.

  (25) A magnetic sensor serving as a magnetism detecting means for detecting magnetism that does not intend to cheat in response to switching from a state in which a specific predetermined condition is satisfied among a plurality of types of predetermined conditions to a state in which the specific predetermined condition is not satisfied. Is also expected to be detected. Therefore, the output state of the magnetic detection signal does not become low level but becomes high level until a predetermined time elapses after switching from a state where a specific predetermined condition is satisfied to a state where the specific predetermined condition is not satisfied. There is a case. In this way, it is possible to prevent a situation in which playing a game is prohibited due to detection of magnetism which does not intend to be illegal in connection with switching to a state where a specific predetermined condition is not established. And more appropriate magnetic detection can be performed.

  (26) Even when the magnetic sensor as the magnetic detection means detects magnetism, a period during which the output state of the magnetic detection signal does not become low level but becomes high level during the first period or the second period So there are multiple periods. By this, it is possible to provide "a period in which the output state of the magnetic detection signal does not become low level but becomes high level even when the magnetic sensor detects magnetism" according to the situation. It becomes possible to detect.

  (27) The state of the door open signal (open detection signal) is via the main board 40, the game board input / output board 42, the main control relay terminal board 44, the payout control board 45, the launch control board 48 and the front frame signal board 49. . Thereby, it becomes possible to manage the state of the door open signal in the main board 40, the game board input / output board 42, the main control relay terminal board 44, the payout control board 45, the launch control board 48 and the front frame signal board 49. For example, control can be performed according to the state of the door open signal, and the state of the door open signal can be easily used. On the other hand, since the state of the door open signal does not pass through the substrate connectable to the external device, it is possible to suppress the fraud such as changing the state of the door open signal using the external device etc. . As described above, while the state of the door open signal passes through the main board 40, the game board input / output board 42, the main control relay terminal board 44, the payout control board 45, the launch control board 48 and the front frame signal board 49, Since the state of the door open signal does not intervene between the terminal board 46 and the lending device connection terminal board 47, the security can be improved while making it easy to use the state of the door open signal.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
In the embodiment, the voltage value applied to the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 may be changed according to the state of the door open signal (open detection signal) input to the magnetic sensor. Then, the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 may be configured to operate in accordance with the voltage value that changes according to the state of the door open signal. At this time, the operation of the magnetic sensor main circuit 72 according to the voltage value that changes according to the state of the door open signal corresponds to the operation according to the state of the door open signal. When configured in this manner, the value (strength or magnitude) of the current I1 flowing into the second connection portion K2 may be changed depending on the state of the door open signal input to the magnetic sensor. It may be configured not to change (become the same).
