Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine for playing a game by striking a gaming ball toward a gaming area and rolling down a gaming ball hit in the gaming area.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A gaming machine (for example, a so-called pachinko machine) is widely known to play a game by driving a game ball into a game area and rolling down a game ball hit in the game area. In the game board of such a gaming machine, a prize detection sensor for detecting the winning of a game ball to a prize opening (a starting opening, a big winning opening, a normal winning opening, etc.) and an illegal gaming action for the gaming board are detected. Many detection sensors, such as a sensor (for example, a vibration detection sensor and a magnetic detection sensor), are disposed (for example, Patent Document 1).
In the gaming machine, there are circumstances in which the detection sensor sets a plurality of locations in the gaming area (for example, each is arranged near the starting opening, winning opening, winning opening, out opening, etc.). Therefore, the electrical connection between the detection sensor and the detection circuit unit (for example, a transistor on the panel relay board) that detects a detection signal from the detection sensor depends on various circuit patterns and wiring (harness) depending on the installation location of the detection sensor. The length of is suitably selected.

Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2009-165673

By the way, electric resistance (for example, connectors and detection sensors) and wiring patterns change with the passage of time, and the wiring length changes the current flowing to the detection sensor, which is different from the design value. This may cause the circuit not to operate properly. In addition, the resistance value also changes when, for example, the type of the detection sensor, the placement location, and the length of the wiring (harness) are design-changed due to the specification change during development. Therefore, the current flowing to the detection sensor changes.
If a current flows to a resistance value that changes due to such a cause, the current flowing to the detection sensor may be different from the original design value. That is, there is a possibility that the signal of the detection sensor may be erroneously detected.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine which can prevent erroneous detection of a signal from a detection sensor and can generalize a detection circuit.

A plurality of abnormality detection sensor units arranged on the game board,
A game machine comprising: a plurality of the abnormality detection sensor units connected by a connector member; and a relay board for transmitting a signal from the abnormality detection sensor unit to a main control board.
The relay substrate includes a sensor signal input unit and a detection circuit unit.
The sensor signal input unit includes a voltage output unit and a voltage boosting unit connected to the voltage output unit.
A plurality of sensor signal input units are electrically connected to the detection circuit unit;
The voltage output unit sets the first voltage when the abnormality detection sensor unit is in the first state, and uses a voltage lower than the first voltage when the abnormality detection sensor unit is in the second state. And a second voltage,
The detection circuit unit switches on / off of the output of the detection signal according to the first voltage or the second voltage from the voltage output unit.
The abnormality detection sensor unit and the voltage output unit of the sensor signal input unit are electrically connected via the connector member,
The voltage raising unit acts on the detection circuit unit by the predetermined voltage even if the predetermined voltage higher than the second voltage caused by the connector member and lower than the first voltage is applied. In order to avoid this, the voltage from the voltage output unit for switching the output of the detection signal of the detection circuit unit is increased;
The detection circuit unit
When the abnormality detection sensor unit is in the first state, the voltage output unit is set to the first voltage to turn on the output of the detection signal,
When the abnormality detection sensor unit is in the second state, the voltage output unit is set to a second voltage lower than the first voltage, and the output of the detection signal is turned off.
The output of the detection signal is turned off also when the voltage output unit has the predetermined voltage higher than the second voltage and lower than the first voltage due to the connector member.
The detection circuit unit
When the abnormality detection sensor unit is disconnected and the voltage output unit is turned to the first voltage and the output of the detection signal is turned on, the notification unit notifies in the effect display device provided on the game board It is characterized by

  According to the present invention, false detection of a signal from the detection sensor can be prevented. Also, the detection circuit unit can be generalized. Therefore, it is possible to have a margin in design change during development.

Fig.17 (a) is a perspective view which expands and shows the state by which the main frame side upper hinge member of the main body frame is removed with respect to the outer frame side upper hinge member of an outer frame, (b) is an outer upper side. It is a perspective view which expands and shows the state in which the main body side upper hinge member is attached to the hinge member. FIG. 18 is an explanatory view showing the operation of the lock member in the outer frame.

  When the lock member 66 in the outer frame 2 is attached to the front extension portion 62 of the outer frame-side upper hinge member 60 (normal state), the tip of the elastic portion 66c abuts on the inner circumferential surface of the hanging portion 65 The lock main body 66a is configured to close a part of the bearing groove 63 bent in a V-shape, and the tip end portion of the lock main body 66a does not close the deepest part of the bearing groove 63, A space in which the main frame upper hinge pin 622 of the main frame side upper hinge member 620 of the main body frame 4 can be inserted is formed at the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63.

  In the supporting mechanism of the main frame upper hinge pin 622 using the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 and the lock member 66 in the present embodiment, the main frame upper hinge pin 622 is inserted into the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63 and the front end of the lock main body 66a The right side face of the lock body 66 is in close proximity to the right hanging portion 65 (in this state, there is a slight gap between the right side face of the front end of the lock main body 66a and the right hanging In the normal pivotally supported state, the respective centers of the main frame upper hinge pin 622 located at the deepest part of the bent bearing groove 63 and the front end face of the lock main body 66a are diagonally offset and opposed It is in the state.

  And, in this normal support state, since the main frame upper hinge pin 622 supporting the heavy main body frame 4 is in contact with the front end portion of the bearing groove 63, the main frame upper hinge pin There is almost no load from 622 on the front end face of the lock body 66a. That is, no load is applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66. In addition, since the front end face of the lock main body 66a is formed in a circular arc shape, when the operation portion 66b is turned to turn the lock member 66, the lock member 66 is smoothly turned. There is. Further, in the drawing, the arc center of the front end face of the lock main body 66a is taken as the center of the mounting hole 66d (the rotation center of the lock member 66).

  Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in the direction in which the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame comes out along the slope of the bearing groove 63 formed in the V shape and abuts on the arc-shaped front end face of the lock body 66a, the acting force A component force F1 (a normal direction of an arc of a front end face of the lock main body 66a) acting on a contact portion between the body frame upper hinge pin 622 and the arc shaped front end face, a body frame upper hinge pin 622 and a bearing groove 63 The component force F1 is directed to the center (rotation center of the lock member 66) of the mounting hole 66d (mounting screw 67) when divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the inner surface on one side The moment that the front end of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 rotates in the direction away from the hanging portion 65 on the right does not work, and the hinge pin 622 of the main body frame is one of the front end portion of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 and the bearing groove 63. Inside Clamped state is maintained between the.

  For this reason, even in a normal pivotally supported state or a state where the action force of the main frame upper hinge pin 622 is applied to the lock member 66, no load is always applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66, and integrally formed of synthetic resin. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation due to creep of the elastic portion 66c, and to prevent the main frame upper hinge pin 622 from coming off from the bearing groove 63 for a long period of time. Even if an excessive force is applied and the front end of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 is rotated in the direction to move to the right, the front right side of the lock main body 66a abuts on the hanging portion 65 to further Since it does not rotate, the lock member 66 does not protrude outside the front extension 62.

  Note that even if the shape of the front end face of the lock main body 66a is not arc-shaped, the position where the rotational moment is not generated by the action of the component force F1 described above or the front end portion of the lock member 66 faces the outside of the forward extension portion 62. By placing the rotation center of the lock member 66 (the shaft fixed by the mounting screw 67) at a position where a rotational moment to rotate is generated, no load is always applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66, Even when the lock member 66 rotates, the right side surface of the front end of the lock body 66 a just abuts on the hanging portion 65, and therefore the lock member 66 does not protrude outside the front extension portion 62.

  When the main frame upper hinge pin 622 of the main frame upper hinge member 620 is supported by the bearing groove 63 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60, the upper side of the main frame in the bearing groove 63 from the open side of the bearing groove 63 Insert the hinge pin 622. When the main frame upper hinge pin 622 is inserted into the bearing groove 63, the main frame upper hinge pin 622 abuts on the right side surface of the lock main body 66a of the lock member 66 and the front end of the lock main body 66a resists the biasing force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 pivots around the mounting screw 67 so as to move to the left. As a result, the lock main body 66a closing the bearing groove 63 retracts to open the bearing groove 63, and the main frame upper hinge pin 622 can be moved to the deepest portion (front end) of the bearing groove 63.

  Then, when the main frame upper hinge pin 622 is moved to the deepest part of the bearing groove 63, the contact between the main frame upper hinge pin 622 and the lock main body 66a of the lock member 66 is released, and the lock main body 66a is moved by the biasing force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 is pivoted so that the front end of the arm moves to the right, and the lock member 66 returns to the normal state. As a result, the body frame upper hinge pin 622 is accommodated in the space on the front side of the front end of the lock main body 66 a in the bearing groove 63, and the body frame upper hinge pin 622 can rotate at the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63. It is held (locked) in the state.

  When removing the main frame upper hinge pin 622 from the inside of the bearing groove 63, the operating portion 66b of the locking member 66 is operated to turn the locking member 66 so that the front end of the lock main body 66a moves to the left. The lock main body 66a is retracted from the bearing groove 63 against the biasing force of 66c. As a result, the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63 and the opening communicate with each other, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame can be removed from the bearing groove 63.

[2-10. Security mechanism and ball biting prevention mechanism at the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member]
Ball catching prevention for preventing the game ball from being caught between the crime prevention mechanism and the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 at the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 of the outer frame 2 in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment The mechanism will be described.

  In the assembled state, the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is attached to the outer frame 2 at the left end in the front view on the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50. The horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is mounted in a state of being placed near the left end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50 and the upper surface of the rear extension portion 51. The curtain plate member 50 includes an upright wall portion 54 rising upward from the rear end of the upper surface. Thus, even if an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire is made to enter the rear side of the main frame 4 (pachinko machine 1) through the gap between the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the main frame side lower hinge member 640. Since the tip of the incorrect tool abuts on the upstanding wall portion 54 extending upward from the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, it is possible to prevent the incorrect tool from being inserted further backward. Thus, it is possible to prevent a fraud from being conducted through the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70.

  In addition, since the upper end of the standing wall portion 54 is provided with the return portion 55 extending forward, when the incorrect tool in contact with the upper wall portion 54 is bent upward, the end of the incorrect tool by the return portion 55 Can be further folded forward, so that an unauthorized tool can be prevented from invading the rear side of the main body frame 4, and cheating is performed through the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70. Can be reliably blocked.

  By the way, when the standing wall portion 54 extending upward is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, the gaming ball is on the outer frame side with the main body frame 4 open to the outer frame 2. When dropped onto the lower hinge member 70 (horizontal portion 71), the gaming ball on the horizontal portion 71 is not discharged rearward from the rear end of the horizontal portion 71 due to the presence of the standing wall portion 54. There is a risk of being caught between On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the discharge hole 74 and the left discharge hole 52 through which the game ball can pass through the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the rear extension portion 51 of the curtain plate member 50. Because the right discharge hole 53 is provided, the gaming balls on the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 can be discharged downward from the discharge hole 74 or the like, and the outer frame 2 and the body frame 4 Between the game ball and the game ball can be reduced.

  Therefore, by the game ball being pinched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4, the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 may be damaged or the main frame 4 may not be closed in a normal state. A gap is created between the main unit frame 4 and the gap, which can be used to prevent fraudulent acts.

  The handle base 301 of the handle unit 300 is recessed from the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical base 301a extending in the front and rear direction, a disk-like front end 301b radially projecting from the front end of the base 301a, and a cylindrical base 301a. And three grooves 301c extending in the axial direction and formed at irregular intervals in the circumferential direction. The outer diameter of the base portion 301 a of the handle base 301 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 181 of the handle attachment member 180. Further, the three groove portions 301 c are formed at positions corresponding to the three ridges 183 of the cylindrical portion 181 of the handle attachment member 180. Therefore, the base 301a can be inserted into the cylindrical portion 181 of the handle mounting member 180 in a state in which the three grooves 301c coincide with the three ridges 183, and the ridges 183 are respectively inserted in the three grooves 301c. By being inserted, the handle base 301 can not be rotated relative to the handle attachment member 180.

  The handle 302 includes four first protrusions 302a, second protrusions 302b, third protrusions 302c, and fourth protrusions 302d, which protrude outward in a circumferential direction away from the outer peripheral surface, and a rotation shaft (shaft member 305). Two slits 302e extending in a circular arc shape as a center and penetrating in the front-rear direction, and projecting backward from a position inside with respect to the rotation center with respect to the slit 302e, the other end side of the handle return spring 308 is locked And a locking projection 302f.

  The four first protrusions 302a, the second protrusions 302b, the third protrusions 302c, and the fourth protrusions 302d are sequentially provided in the clockwise direction in front view. More specifically, the first protrusion 302a has a side in the clockwise direction of the portion of the handle 302 that protrudes most from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 in a clockwise direction, and bulges outward. The side in the direction of is concaved (curved) to curve inward. The portion of the second protrusion 302b most projecting from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 is separated from the most projecting portion of the first protrusion 302a in the clockwise direction by about a 85 degree rotation angle. Is slightly lower. In the second protrusion 302b, the side surface in the clockwise direction in the front view clockwise bulges so as to expand outward, and the side surface in the direction around the opposite side is curved inward. It is concaved and formed in a shape similar to the first protrusion 302a.

  The third protrusion 302c is located at the most projecting part from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 at a rotation angle of about 70 degrees in the clockwise direction from the most projecting part of the second protrusion 302b. It protrudes at about half height. The side surfaces on both sides of the third protrusion 302c are inclined substantially linearly, and the side surface in the clockwise direction is inclined more gently than the side surface in the counterclockwise direction which is the opposite side. In the fourth protrusion 302d, the most protruding part from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 is separated from the most protruding part of the third protrusion 302c in the clockwise direction at a rotation angle of about 55 degrees from the first protrusion 302a It also protrudes slightly high. The fourth protrusions 302 d are formed in a substantially isosceles triangle, with the side surfaces on both sides inclined in a substantially linear manner.

  The handle cover 303 has three round mounting bosses 303 a that are rounded forward on the front and bulge forward. The three mounting bosses 303 a are attached to the front of the handle base 301 by penetrating the slit 302 e of the handle 302 from the front. Since the mounting boss 303a of the handle cover 303 passes through the slit 302e of the handle 302, the mounting boss 303a abuts on the circumferential end of the slit 302e, thereby restricting the rotation angle of the handle 302. In this example, the handle 302 can be rotated within a range of approximately 120 degrees of rotation.

  The handle unit 300 is attached to the handle attachment seat surface 112 of the door frame base 110 via the handle attachment member 180. The handle attachment seat surface 112 of the door frame base 110 is inclined so that the right end is positioned more rearward than the left end in plan view and faces the outside (open side). The handle unit 300 to be attached via is also inclined outward in plan view (in other words, its tip is inclined toward the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line perpendicular to the front of the pachinko machine 1). It is attached and fixed to the door frame 3. As a result, the player can easily hold the handle 302 of the handle unit 300, and can make the user perform the turning operation without feeling a sense of discomfort.

  The handle rotation detection sensor 307 of the handle unit 300 is a variable resistor, and when the handle 302 is rotated, the detection shaft 307 a of the handle rotation detection sensor 307 is rotated via the shaft member 305 and the transmission gear 306. The internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 307 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 307a, and the driving force of the emission solenoid 682 in the ball emission device 680 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 307. The game ball is driven into the game area 5a with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 302.

  The outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 and the handle cover 303 is plated with conductive, and the handle touch sensor 310 detects the contact when the player contacts the handle 302 or the like. Then, when the handle touch sensor 310 detects the player's touch, when the handle 302 is turned, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 307 is accepted, and the emission solenoid is generated with a strength according to the rotation angle of the handle 302. The drive of 682 is controlled, and a game ball can be hit. That is, even if the player tries to hit the game ball into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 302 in some way without touching the handle 302, the firing solenoid 682 is not driven and the game ball can be hit. It can not be done. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from playing the game by rotating the handle 302 in a method different from the original method, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) associated with the gaming hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. .

  In the handle unit 300, when the player presses the one-shot button 311 while rotating the handle 302, the one-shot button operation sensor 312 detects the operation of the one-shot button 311, and the discharge control unit of the payout control board 951 (shown Is omitted to stop the rotational drive of the firing solenoid 682. As a result, it is possible to temporarily stop the firing of the game ball without returning the rotation operation of the handle 302 and, by releasing the pressing operation of the one-shot button 311, the driving before the one-shot button 311 is operated. The game ball can be reentered into the game area 5a by the strength.

  Furthermore, the handle unit 300 includes, in the handle 302, four first protrusions 302a, second protrusions 302b, third protrusions 302c, and fourth protrusions 302d, and the handle 302 is rotated most in a clockwise direction as viewed from the front. The fourth protrusion 302d positions the first protrusion 302a when the fourth protrusion 302d does not rotate the handle 302 when the game ball is most strongly hit into the game area 5a (so-called "right hit"). Since the fourth protrusion 302d is used as the first protrusion 302a, the player can maintain the handle 302 at the “right-handed” position in a comfortable state by replacing the fourth protrusion 302d with the first protrusion 302a. It is possible to reduce the feeling of fatigue of the person and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, the lower tray main body 325 is formed in the shape of a container whose upper and rear portions are open. The lower bowl body 325 has a flat bottom wall portion 325a, a main body standing wall portion 325b extending upward from the outer peripheral end excluding the rear end side of the bottom wall portion 325a, and the bottom wall portion 325a. And a lower countersink hole 322a penetrating up and down with a possible size. The outer peripheral shape of the bottom wall portion 325a is curved so that the left and right sides of the quadrilateral extending in the left and right directions are disposed on the front side with the upper side shorter than the base and the rectangular side extending to the left and right. It is formed in the shape which combined the trapezoid and. The bottom wall 325a (the upper surface thereof) is inclined so as to be lower toward the lower countersink hole 322a. The main body standing wall portion 325b rises upward from the bottom wall portion 325a at a height twice to five times the diameter of the gaming ball. The lower countersink ball removal hole 322a is formed at a position closer to the right than the center in the left-right direction of the lower disk main body 325 (bottom wall portion 325a). In the lower tray main body 325, the curved portion of the bottom front wall portion 325a and the main body vertical wall portion 325b in the front right-hand front corner corresponds to the relief portion 322b.

  The lower tray cover 340 is formed to cover the upper right half of the lower tray main body 325. The lower cover 340 is, as shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, substantially formed from a cover upright wall 340a rising upward from the upper end of the main body upright wall 325b of the lower tray main body 325 and an upper end of the cover upright wall 340a. And a ceiling portion 340b extending horizontally. The cover upright wall 340a rises from a portion from the part on the front side of the main body upright wall 325b of the lower tray main body 325 to the rear end of the right side. When the lower tray cover 340 is assembled to the tray unit 320, the rear ends of the cover upright wall portion 340a and the ceiling portion 340b are in contact with the front surface of the tray unit base 323. Further, the front end (the left end side of the front side) of the cover upright wall portion 340 a is in contact with the right end side of the lower plate opening portion 326 d of the plate unit cover 326. Furthermore, the left end of the ceiling portion 340 b is in contact with the right end of the lower plate cover portion 326 k of the plate unit cover 326. In the lower cover 340, a curved surface portion of the cover upright wall portion 340a and a portion obliquely extending between the cover upright wall portion 340a and the ceiling portion 340b on the rear side correspond to the relief portion 322b. There is.

  The lower plate 322 is covered with a plate unit cover 326 (rendering operation unit 400) from the vicinity of the left end in the front view near the left end of a portion extending short to the left and right with the front end side. Located behind the. That is, the lower plate 322 is formed such that the right half thereof turns to the rear of the rendering operation unit 400. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 45, the lower tray 322 is a lower tray first area A1 (a cross hatch area in FIG. 45) located behind the lower tray opening 326d of the tray unit cover 326 described later Lower tray second area A2 (shaded in FIG. 45) located behind the right side of the opening 326 d (on the front end side of the rendering operation unit 400, the rendering operation unit attachment portion 326a of the pan unit cover 326, and the lower pan cover 340) Region of and). In other words, the lower plate 322 is half or more of the storage area (the area obtained by combining the lower plate first area A1 and the lower plate second area A2 corresponding to the storage area in plan view). It is located to the rear of the rendering operation unit 400. In FIG. 45, the area of the dotted hatching is the remaining space (area) of the mounting space 326j in the pan unit cover 326.

  In the lower tray 322, the lower bowl ball supply port 323c of the tray unit base 323 forming the rear wall opens to the right of the center of the rear wall in the front view left-right direction. More specifically, the lower tray ball supply port 323c of the lower tray 322 is the effect operation unit 400, the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a (right outer side of the lower tray opening 326d) in the tray unit cover 326, and the front end of the lower tray cover 340. It is disposed in the lower tray second area A2 which is the rear of the side, etc. As a result, when the door frame 3 is viewed from the front, the lower ball and ball supply port 323c can not be seen from the player through the lower plate opening 326d (see FIG. 19 and the like). Therefore, the lower tray 322 is formed so as to turn from the lower tray opening 326 d on the left side surface of the tray unit 320 (the tray unit cover 326) bulging forward to the rear of the rendering operation unit 400, The storage volume of the game ball is formed larger than the range viewed from the front. In other words, the lower tray 322 is formed larger in the lower tray second region A2 than in the lower tray first region A1. As a result, when the lower plate 322 is viewed from the outside (player side), it is possible to store more gaming balls in the lower plate 322 more than it looks.

  In the lower tray 322, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), the right half (lower tray second area A2) of the lower tray main body 325 in the right and left direction is a rendering operation unit attachment portion 326a (attachment space 326j) of the tray unit cover 326. The lower plate cover 340 covers the upper side of the portion of the lower plate main body 325 projecting into the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a. The lower plate cover 340 prevents the finger of the player from touching the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) when the player inserts a finger into the lower plate 322 from the lower plate opening 326d. can do.

  The lower plate 322 is provided with a lower plate ball extraction hole 322a penetrating vertically in the front of the lower plate ball supply port 323c in the lower plate second area A2. The bottom surface of the lower plate 322 is inclined to be lower toward the lower plate ball removal hole 322a. The lower ball ball extraction hole 322 a of the lower plate 322 is closed in an openable / closable manner by a lid member 334 operated by pressing the lower ball ball extraction button 333. Under the normal condition, the lower tray 322 is closed by the cover member 334 and the gaming ball can be stored in the lower tray 322. Then, when the lower bowl ball removal button 333 is pressed to open the lid member 334, the gaming balls in the lower plate 322 can be discharged from the lower bowl ball removal hole 322a to the lower side of the plate unit 320.

  The lower countersink hole 322a of the lower tray 322 is disposed in front (directly in front of) the lower countersink supply port 323c of the tray unit base 323 which forms the rear wall of the lower tray 322. Therefore, in the state assembled to the door frame 3, the lower countersink hole 322a is located on the right side of the lower end opening 326d of the tray unit cover 326 and behind the frame unit 415 in the rendering operation unit 400, It can not be seen from the player (front) side.

  As described above, the lower plate 322 is formed such that the outer peripheral shape is a combination of a trapezoid whose front side is narrowed on the front side of the rectangular shape extending to the left and right, It inclines to become lower toward the head. Therefore, with the lid 334 open and the lower countersink hole 322a open, the gaming balls supplied from the lower countersink supply opening 323c into the lower tray 322 are directly in front of the lower countersink supply opening 323c. It is immediately discharged downward from the opened lower countersink hole 322a. The lower end of the lower ball ball extraction hole 322a is located slightly to the left of the left end of the lower ball ball supply port 323c, so the lower ball ball supply hole 322a is open. The gaming ball supplied from the mouth 323c to the lower plate 322 does not flow directly to the area on the left side of the lower plate ball removal hole 322a in the lower plate 322, and is discharged from the lower plate ball removal hole 322a. Become.

  On the other hand, since the right end of the lower ball ball extraction hole 322a is located on the left of the right end of the lower ball ball supply port 323c, the game is supplied to the lower plate 322 from near the right end of the lower ball ball supply port 323c. The ball comes in contact with the portion of the main body standing wall portion 325b that forms the right standing wall of the lower plate 322. The right standing wall of the lower plate 322 is curved obliquely with respect to the front-back direction so as to face the lower plate ball removal hole 322a, so the game ball supplied from the lower plate ball supply port 323c is When it abuts on a sloped part, the light is reflected in the direction of the lower ball open hole 322a, and is discharged from the lower ball open hole 322a without going to the area on the left side of the lower ball open hole 322a. (See Figure 45).

  As described above, the lower plate 322 of the present embodiment is formed to guide the gaming balls supplied from the lower plate ball supply port 323c to the lower plate ball extraction hole 322a. In the open state, the game ball supplied from the lower ball supply opening 323c is immediately penetrated from the lower ball removal hole 322a without entering the area to the left of the lower ball removal hole 322a in the lower plate 322. It can be discharged downward (dollar box). As a result, when the lower ball ball removing hole 322a is kept open, the player can not see the game balls circulating on the lower plate 322, and the player is paid out from the upper plate 321 or the payout device 830. The player can play the game by making it difficult for the game balls, etc. to be discharged directly into the dollar box and making it difficult for the game balls to feel annoyance passing through the lower plate 322. And the effect image etc.) to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, the lower plate 322 of the present embodiment includes the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower tray main body 325 and the lower plate covers 340 and 340A extended upward from the upper end of the main body standing wall portion 325b. Even if the game ball is supplied to the inside and jumps up in the lower plate 322, the game ball can be prevented from intruding from the lower plate 322 into the mounting space 326j side, and the game ball in the lower plate 322 is Contact with the rear side of the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A) can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible that the gaming balls supplied in the lower plate 322 and the gaming balls stored in the lower plate 322 contact or press the rear side of the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A). It can prevent and it can prevent that the back side of the rendering operation unit 400 (2nd rendering operation unit 400A) is damaged by the game ball.

  Furthermore, since the lower disc ball supply hole 323a is provided in front of the lower disc ball supply port 323c in the lower plate 322, the lower disc ball supply port 323c is released from the lower disc ball supply port 323c. The game ball can be made to reach the front end side of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower plate main body 325 because it can be made to enter the lower plate ball removal hole 322a and be discharged downward (dollar box) as it is Can. In addition, since the bottom wall 325a of the lower tray main body 325 near the front end of the lower tray 322 is higher toward the front, the gaming ball toward the front end side of the main body standing wall 325b of the lower tray main body 325 is inclined The bottom surface is to be climbed, and the movement speed of the game ball can be attenuated. Therefore, the game ball released from the lower ball supply opening 323c into the lower plate 322 can reduce the impact when it abuts on the lower cover 340, 340A or the main body standing wall portion 325b, and they are broken. It can be difficult.

  Note that, in the present embodiment, a lid member 334 that closes the lower disc ball extraction hole 322 a may be interlocked with the upper disc ball extraction button 327. As a result, when the upper disc ball extraction button 327 is operated, the lid member 334 is also moved and the lower disc ball extraction hole 322a is opened, so the gaming balls discharged from the upper plate 321 to the lower plate 322 are further removed. It will be discharged from the hole 322a to the lower dollar box. That is, when the upper bowl sphere removing button 327 is operated to pull out the gaming bowl from the upper plate 321, the gaming sphere of the upper plate 321 is discharged to the dollar box even though the lower bowl sphere extracting button 333 is not operated. As a result, the player can be strongly illusoryed as if the gaming balls of the upper plate 321 are directly discharged to the dollar box, and the above-described effects can be further exhibited. The simultaneous release of the upper tray 321 and the lower tray 322 may be simultaneous release by driving a drive source such as a motor or a solenoid, or may be simultaneous release by a mechanical link mechanism.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lower tray main body 325 and the lower tray cover 340 constituting the lower tray 322 are shown as separate parts which can be disassembled, but the lower tray main body 325 and the lower tray cover 340 are disassembled. It may be an impossible one. Also, although an example is shown in which the cover upright wall 340a of the lower tray cover 340 rises from the upper end of the main body upright wall 325b of the lower tray main body 325, the bottom wall 325a of the lower tray main body 325 The cover upright wall 340a may rise. In the example, the ceiling 340 b of the lower cover 340 extends substantially horizontally from the upper end of the cover upright wall 340 a, but the ceiling 340 b of the lower cover 340 is the main upright wall 325 b of the lower main body 325. It may be extended substantially horizontally from the upper end.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the relief portion 322 b for avoiding the contact of the lower tray 322 with the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400 A) is provided, but the release portion 322 b is not provided. The lower plate 322 may be used.

  Further, although the lower plate 322 (the lower plate main body 325, the lower plate cover 340, etc.) in this embodiment is a uniform flat plate without holes penetrating, a plurality of through holes through which the game ball can not pass It may have a hole. Specifically, at least a part of the bottom wall 325a, the main body standing wall 325b, the cover standing wall 340a, the ceiling 340b, etc. of the lower plate 322 is formed in a fence shape having a gap where game balls can not pass through. It is good also as what was formed in thing or mesh shape. A light emitter such as an LED may be disposed in the plate unit cover 326 (attachment space 326j), and the inside of the lower plate 322 may be illuminated (or decorated with light) through the fence-like or net-like gap of the lower plate 322. .

  In the present embodiment, the lower plate 322 is formed by the lower plate main body 325, the lower plate cover 340, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit cover 326 (lower plate cover portion 326k) which are separately formed. However, the four members may be united in an appropriate combination to form the lower plate 322. Specifically, the lower plate cover 340 and the lower plate body 325 are integrated, the lower plate cover 340 and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated, and the lower plate body 325 and the plate unit cover 326 are One united, one in which the lower plate cover 340 and the plate unit base 323 are integrated, one in which the lower plate main body 325 and the plate unit base 323 are integrally formed, the plate unit base 323 and the plate unit cover 326 The lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, and the plate unit base 323 are integrated, or the lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, and the plate unit cover 326 are integrally formed. A lower plate cover 340, a plate unit base 323 and a plate unit cover 326 integrated with each other; a lower plate body 325; a plate unit base 323; That the Tokaba 326 are integrated, that a lower tray body 325 and Shitasara cover 340 and tray unit base 323 and dish unit cover 326 is integrated, it may be like.

[3-3b-1. Ball guide part of lower plate]
An embodiment including a ball guiding portion 322c or the like for guiding the gaming ball from the lower ball feeding opening 323c to the lower ball dropping hole 322a in the lower plate 322 of the plate unit 320 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. . FIG. 46 (a) is an explanatory view schematically showing an example in which a lower plate is provided with a ball guiding portion, and (b) is a description schematically showing an example in which a lower plate is provided with a ball guiding portion different from (a). It is a figure and (c) is an explanatory view showing roughly an example provided with still another different ball guidance part. In FIG. 46, the same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  An example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46 (a) is substantially the same as the diameter of the lower plate spherical hole 322a at the portion between the lower circular plate feed port 323c and the lower plate spherical hole 322a at the bottom of the lower plate 322. It has a pair of ball guiding parts 322c which are disposed to be separated left and right by a distance. The pair of ball guiding portions 322 c is formed in a rail shape (protrusion) extending back and forth in a state of protruding from the bottom surface of the lower plate 322. Also, the lower plate 322 is inclined so that the bottom surface is lowered toward the lower plate ball removal hole 322a. Therefore, the gaming ball supplied from the lower ball supply opening 323c into the lower plate 322 is guided to the lower ball removal hole 322a by the pair of ball guiding portions 322c without crossing over the ball guiding portion 322c. It is discharged downward (dollar box) from the hole 322a.

  Then, the lower tray 322 of this example is, similarly to the above, in the rear (lower tray second area A2) on the right side of the lower tray opening 326d of the tray unit cover 326, the lower tray ball supply port 323c and the lower tray ball The through holes 322a are arranged in a straight line in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the lower disc ball supply port 323c and the lower disc ball extraction hole 322a are located behind the covering wall such as the front end side of the lower disc cover 340 and the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a of the effect unit 400, the disc unit cover 326 They are not visible from the front.

  As described above, since the lower tray 322 of the present embodiment is provided with the pair of ball guiding portions 322c, the gaming ball supplied from the lower peripheral ball supply port 323c in the state where the lower counterball opening 322a is opened. Can be discharged from the lower countersink opening 322a downward (dollar box) immediately without entering the area on the left side of the lower countersink opening 322a in the lower tray 322. Then, since the gaming ball circulating on the lower plate 322 can not be seen from the player side, the gaming ball etc. paid out from the upper plate 321 and the payout device 830 is illusive as being directly discharged to the dollar box It is possible to make it difficult for the player to concentrate on the game (such as the operation for hitting the game ball and the effect image) by making it difficult for the game ball to feel annoyance passing through the lower plate 322 and to suppress the decrease in interest. Can.

  In the example shown in FIG. 46 (a), the ball guiding portion 322c is shown as a rail, but the invention is not limited to this, and the gaming ball may be lowered like a groove extending toward the lower ball ball opening 322a. Any guide can be used as long as it can be guided to the countersink hole 322a.

  Next, in the example of the lower plate 322 shown in FIG. 46 (b), the gaming ball released to the right of the lower wall of the lower plate ball opening 322a in the lower plate 322 is diagonally forward right from the lower plate ball supply port 323c. In addition to being shaped in such a way as to reflect in the direction of the lower ball ball opening hole 322a, the buffer portion 322d is provided at a portion where the gaming ball abuts. The buffer portion 322 d is formed of rubber, foam or the like.

  Similarly to the above, the lower plate 322 of this example has the lower plate ball removal hole 322a just in front of the lower plate ball supply port 323c, and the bottom surface of the lower plate 322 is lower toward the lower plate ball removal hole 322a. It is inclined to become. Therefore. The game balls discharged straight forward from the lower ball supply opening 323c are discharged from the lower ball removal hole 322a downward (dollar box). On the other hand, the gaming ball discharged to the right front from the lower ball supply opening 323c is reflected by the buffer portion 322d in the direction of the lower ball removal hole 322a, and is discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower plate removal hole 322a. Be done. At this time, since the gaming ball abuts and reflects on the buffer portion 322d, the collision sound at the time of reflection is reduced.

  Furthermore, the lower tray 322 in this example is also located at the rear of the lower tray opening 326d of the tray unit cover 326 in the same manner as described above (rendering operation in the presentation operation unit 400 and tray unit cover 326 which is the lower tray second region A2 It is arrange | positioned at the unit mounting part 326a and the back of the covering wall of the front end side etc. of the lower saucer cover 340, and it can not be seen from the front.

  As described above, since the lower plate 322 in this example is provided with the buffer portion 322d on the wall that reflects the game balls, even if the game balls are not released forward from the lower ball supply opening 323c, By the buffer portion 322d, it can be reflected toward the lower countersink hole 322a without sound and can be discharged downward (dollar box). Therefore, when the game balls and the like paid out from the upper plate 321 and the payout device 830 are discharged to the dollar box, the clash is also directly discharged to the dollar box because the collision sound of the game balls is not heard from the lower plate 322 By making it difficult for the game ball to feel annoyance passing through the lower plate 322, it is possible to concentrate the player on the game (such as the operation for hitting the game ball and the effect image, etc.) and to suppress the decline in interest. It can be done.

  Subsequently, in the example of the lower plate 322 of FIG. 46 (c), the lower surface of the lower surface 322 (bottom wall portion 325a) is a portion on the opposite side to the lower surface ball supply port 323c with the lower surface ball opening 322a interposed therebetween. , And a return portion 322e for reflecting the gaming ball having jumped over the lower ball ball release hole 322a to the lower ball ball release hole 322a side. In addition, the return part 322e may use the same material as the material forming the lower plate 322, or may use a shock absorbing material such as rubber or foam that reduces the collision noise at the time of reflection. Further, the return part 322e may not constitute the side wall of the lower tray 322, or may constitute a part of the side wall (main body standing wall portion 325b) of the lower tray 322.

  In the lower plate 322, the lower plate ball supply port 323c, the lower plate ball extraction hole 322a, and the return portion 322e are arranged in a straight line sequentially from the rear to the front, and the lower plate of the plate unit cover 326 Rearward on the right side of the opening 326d (at the rear of the covering wall such as the front end side of the lower operation cover 400, the operation operation unit 400 in the lower operation second area A2, the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a in the lower unit cover 326) It is placed and invisible from the front. In this lower plate 322, even if the gaming ball flowing from the lower plate ball supply opening 323c to the lower plate ball extraction hole 322a jumps over the lower plate ball extraction hole 322a, the lower plate ball extraction hole 322a side is made by the return part 322e. It can be reflected and discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower countersink hole 322a. Therefore, the same effect as the above can be achieved.

  In the present embodiment, the ball guiding portion 322c and the buffer portion 322d may be appropriately combined with the lower plate 322. Thereby, the same effect as the above can be exhibited.

[3-3b-2. Another embodiment of the lower plate]
Another embodiment of the lower tray 322 of the tray unit 320 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 47 (a) is an explanatory view schematically showing the lower tray made dividable, and FIG. 47 (b) is a schematic view showing a state where the storage area of the lower tray is expanded according to the size of the space behind the rendering operation unit. It is explanatory drawing which shows, (c) is explanatory drawing which shows the lower tray of (b) by a schematic perspective view. The lower plate 322 shown in FIG. 47 is configured such that the lower plate main body 325 can be divided at a dividing line PL arranged in the lower plate second area A2. The region indicated by the dotted hatching in FIG. 47 indicates the remaining space of the mounting space 326j.

  First, the lower tray main body 325 (lower tray 322) shown in FIG. 47 (a) constitutes a part of the lower tray first area A1 and the lower tray second area A2 and has the lower countersink hole 322a. A main body portion 325A and a first extension portion 325B attached to the right of the main body portion 325A and constituting the remaining area of the lower tray second area A2 are provided. The first extension unit 325B is the remaining space of the mounting space 326j in which the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) is accommodated further than the main body portion 325A (the rendering operation unit 400 and the second rendering operation unit 400A It projects into the rear space). As shown in the figure, the first extension portion 325B is formed such that the width in the left-right direction increases as it goes from the front to the rear. Further, in the first extension portion 325B, a relief portion 322b for avoiding contact with the second effect operation unit 400A is formed at the right front corner.

  Next, in the examples of FIGS. 47 (b) and 47 (c), the rear end of the effect operation unit 400 does not protrude rearward from the front end of the lower plate 322, and is more than the example of FIG. 47 (a). The space behind the rendering operation unit 400 (the remaining space of the mounting space 326j) is wide. The lower tray main body 325 (lower tray 322) is a part of the lower tray first area A1 and the lower tray second area A2 and has a lower disc ball opening 322a, and a main body It is attached to the right side of the part 325A, constitutes the remaining area of the lower tray second area A2, and has a second extension part 325C larger than the first extension part 325B. As illustrated, the second extension portion 325C has a constant width in the left-right direction from the front end to the rear end, and a storage area of gaming balls is formed larger than the first extension portion 325B. Further, the lower plate 322 is attached with a lower plate cover 340A having a shape corresponding to the shape of the second extension portion 325C (see FIG. 47 (c)).

  In the example shown in FIG. 47, by attaching the first extension part 325B and the second extension part 325C to the main body part 325A, the storage areas of the respective game balls become continuous (connected), and the storage areas of the game balls are stored. Will expand. Further, the boundary between the main body portion 325A and the first extension portion 325B and the second extension portion 325C is a dividing line PL. In addition, the first expansion portion 325B and the second expansion portion 325C in the lower tray main body 325 are in a predetermined gap (connected to the mounting space 326j) with the rear surface of the rendering operation unit 400 or the second rendering operation unit 400A. Space) is formed.

The effects of the effect operation unit 400 will be described in detail with reference mainly to FIGS. 61 to 63 and the like. FIG. 61 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the operation button is pressed in the cross-sectional view of the effect operation unit of FIG. 51. FIG. 62 (a) is a view of the rendering operation unit as viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends, in which part of the operation button is cut away to hide it by the first button decoration portion of the operation button or the button frame It is explanatory drawing which shows a site | part, (b) is explanatory drawing which shows the site | part which it is going to hide by the 1st button decoration part of an operation button, a button frame, etc. in sectional drawing of a rendering operation unit. FIG. 63 (a) is an explanatory view showing a perspective view of the appearance of the effect operation unit seen from the front, and FIG. 63 (b) is an explanatory view of the appearance of the effect operation unit seen from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends It is.

  The effect operation unit 400 according to the present embodiment can show the effect image to the player according to the game state which is changed by the game ball being hit into the game area 5a of the game board 5, and the player is operated. The player can be made to participate in the effect presented to the player by operating the button 410 and the player can be entertained.

  The rendering operation unit 400 is formed to have a height substantially equal to the height of the lower portion of the through hole 111 of the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 of the door frame 3. In addition, the full width of the effect operation unit 400 is formed to be slightly larger than 1/3 of the full width of the door frame 3. The rendering operation unit 400 is disposed at the center in the left-right direction below the gaming area 5a (the through hole 111 of the door frame base 110) in a front view.

  In the effect operation unit 400, the upper portion of the frame main body 416 of the frame unit 415 is attached to the effect operation unit attachment portion 326 a of the dish unit cover 326 in the dish unit 320. In the effect operation unit 400, the lower surface of the leg portion 442a of the relay substrate cover 442 serving as the bottom surface in a state of being attached to the dish unit 320 is a gap between the lower surface of the leg portion 442a Is formed. That is, only the upper part of the effect operation unit 400 is attached to the dish unit 320 and is attached in a suspended state.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 400, the front surface of the frame unit 415 (the surface formed by the inner periphery of the front end of the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416) is parallel to the inclined surface of the front end opening of the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a. As attached. Thus, in the effect operation unit 400, the central axis line CL of the transparent operation button 410 bulging forward in a curved surface shape (a shape of a part of a substantially spherical surface) is at an angle of 63 degrees with respect to the vertical line It is inclined to move upward as it goes forward. Thus, when the player is seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 to play a game using the pachinko machine 1, the head of the player is disposed above the dish unit 320 (rendering operation unit 400) The central axis CL of the operation button 410 passes near the head of the player, because the central axis CL of the operation button 410 is located in front of the center of the game area 5a in the game board 5. Therefore, when the player drops his eyes from the game area 5a to the rendering operation unit 400 (the operation button 410), the operation button 410 is as close as possible to the front view (the projection from the direction parallel to the central axis CL). The operation button 410 and the door frame side effect display device 460 or the like in the operation button 410 can be viewed in a good state.

  In the effect operation unit 400, the four guide bosses 413 c of the operation button 410 are slidably inserted into the four holding holes 431 b of the base unit 430, respectively, and are urged forward by the operation button spring 438. In the normal state (when the operation button 410 is not pressed), the effect operation unit 400 has the front end of the flange portion 413 b of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 by the biasing force of the operation button spring 438. It abuts on a portion near the central opening 416 a in the rear surface of the frame main body 416.

  In the normal state, the effect operation unit 400 projects forward from the central opening 416 a of the frame main body 416 of the frame unit 415 to the center side (central axis line CL side) from the inner periphery of the button frame 412 in the operation button 410. There is. In other words, in the transparent button lens 411 bulging forward in a curved surface (a part of the shape of a substantially spherical surface) of the operation button 410, the portion projecting forward from the inner periphery (inner side) of the button frame 412 is , And protrudes forward from the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416 of the frame unit 415 (see FIG. 51 and the like).

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415 is about 15 cm, and (the front end of) the button lens 411 is the frame unit with respect to the central axis CL direction of the operation button 410. It projects about 4 cm forward from the front of 415.

  In the normal state, when the player presses the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400, the operation button 410 moves backward along the central axis CL against the biasing force of the operation button spring 438. Then, when the rear end of the operation button 410 abuts on the front surface of the unit base 431 of the base unit 430, the backward movement is restricted and the backward movement of the operation button 410 is stopped. When the player presses the operation button 410, the button lens 411 which is bulging forward in a curved surface shape (a shape of a part of a substantially spherical surface) is pressed.

  The operation button 410 is formed so that the outer diameter is very large compared to the operation button for effect provided in the conventional pachinko machine, and therefore the peripheral edge away from the central portion of the button lens 411 is pressed It is likely to be More specifically, the operation button for effect in the conventional pachinko machine is attached such that its central axis extends substantially parallel to the vertical line, while the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 of this embodiment is attached. Since the central axis CL is attached to be inclined with respect to the vertical line, when the player presses the operation button 410 from the upper side as in the conventional pachinko machine, as shown by the white arrow in FIG. The part away from the central axis line CL of the operation button 410 is pressed.

  By the way, since the operation button for effect in the conventional pachinko machine is formed on a flat surface on which the player performs the pressing operation, the operation button is enlarged while the portion to be pressed is made flat. When pressing a part out of the center of the operation button, the surface to be pressed is inclined so that the pressed part retreats first, and the operation button can not recede straight, and the operation button There is a possibility that the pressing operation can not be performed.

  On the other hand, in the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 of the present embodiment, a portion (button lens 411) pressed by the player has a curved surface (a shape of a part of a substantially spherical surface) bulging forward. Therefore, when a position away from the center of the operation button 410 is pressed, the force is dispersed to the entire operation button 410 and the operation button 410 becomes difficult to tilt, and the operation button 410 moves straight backward. Can. Therefore, even if any position on the front side of the operation button 410 is pressed, the operation button 410 can be smoothly retracted without being tilted, so that the pressing operation can be reliably detected, and the operation button 410 is pressed. It is possible to fully enjoy the effects of operation.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 400, the vibration motor 424 is attached to the lower front of the substrate base 421 in the decoration substrate unit 420, and as described above, only the upper portion is dished so that the effect operation unit 400 can be suspended. Because it is attached to the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a of the unit cover 326, when the weight 424a is rotated by the vibration motor 424 to generate a vibration, the vibration is generated at the most distant part from the attached portion The whole of the rendering operation unit 400 can be vibrated largely (strongly), and the vibration can be transmitted to the player touching the rendering operation unit 400. In addition, since the vibration motor 424 is disposed immediately below the position where the player can easily perform the pressing operation (the position of the white arrow in FIG. 61), for the player pressing the operation button 410 The strong vibration can be transmitted to surprise the player and enjoy the presentation.

  Furthermore, the rendering operation unit 400 is attached to the pan unit cover 326 in a suspended state, and the bottom surface of the leg portion 442a of the relay board cover 442 forming the bottom surface and the bottom plate of the pan unit cover 326 Since a gap is formed between the upper surface of the portion 326i and the lower surface of the leg portion 442a when the operation button 410 is strongly pressed downward or struck down, the frame is held between the abutment of the lower surface of the leg portion 442a with the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i. The impact can be absorbed by bending downward the attachment portion 416e of the unit 415, the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a of the plate unit cover 326, and the like. In addition, after the lower surface of the leg portion 442a abuts on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i, the downward movement of the rendering operation unit 400 is restricted, and the mounting portion 416e of the frame unit 415 and the mounting of the tray unit cover 326 Unreasonable force can be prevented from acting on the part 326a and the like, and damage to the rendering operation unit 400 and the like can be prevented. Therefore, even when the player presses the operation button 410 with a strong force or when the player depresses the operation button 410, the operation button 410 or the effect operation unit is presented when an effect of pressing the operation button 410 of the operation unit 400 is presented to the player. Since 400 etc. will not be damaged, interruption of the game due to the breakage can be avoided, and a decrease in interest of the player can be suppressed, and the burden on the game hall side is increased by making the breakage difficult. It can be suppressed.

  As described above, since the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 pressed by the player is formed in a curved surface (a part of the shape of a substantially spherical surface) projecting forward, it is flat. The strength and rigidity are higher than in the case, and the impact can be dispersed to the entire button lens 411 even if it is strongly hit, making it difficult to break.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 63, since the button lens 411, the frame side lens 417, the frame top lens 418, and the operation member in the operation button 432 are made of transparent members, the effect operation unit 400 is composed of The decoration by unevenness such as the first button decoration 411a, the second button decoration 411b, the first button inner decoration 432f, and the second button inner decoration 432g formed on the back side is the front side (the player side Can be viewed from In addition, since the plate thickness is changed and light is complicatedly refracted at the portion where the decoration of the unevenness is formed, it is difficult to visually recognize the rear side through the portion where the decoration of the unevenness is formed .

  Since the rendering operation unit 400 includes the first button decoration portion 411a extending from the inner periphery to the center side of the button frame 412 of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410, the decoration of the unevenness of the first button decoration portion 411a Thus, it is possible to make it difficult to view the rear at a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the portion to be the inside of the button lens 411. Behind the portion where the first button decorative portion 411a is formed (rearward in the central axis line CL direction), the inner circumferential surface of the main portion 413a of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 and the peripheral wall portion of the operation member inner decoration member 432 There is a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the operation button 432a and the outer periphery of the operation button inner decoration member 432 from the front side (player's side) by the first button decoration portion 411a located in front of the gap. It can be hard to see. As a result, even if the operation button in-operation decoration member 432 whose position is fixed is provided in the depressible operation button 410, the appearance of the operation button 410 can be prevented from being deteriorated, and the operation button 410 is seen. While being able to prevent the player from having a sense of discomfort, the decorative member 432 in the operation button can be disposed within the transparent operation button 410 without any problem, and the appearance of the operation button 410 can be improved.

  More specifically, in the rendering operation unit 400, the outer periphery of the in-operation button decoration member 432 of the base unit 430 is formed by the first button decoration portion 411 a, the second button decoration portion 411 b and the button frame 412 of the button lens 411 in the operation button 410. A unit base 431 and a decoration board unit 420, etc., which are on the rear side (rear side) outside the unit, are formed so as to be invisible to the player through the transparent button lens 411. Specifically, in FIG. 62, the portion of the cross hatch surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line is made invisible from the player side. As described above, since the operation button 410 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412, and the like, the outside and the back side of the operation button inner decoration member 432 are hidden and concealed It is possible to improve the appearance of the operation button 410 and, consequently, the entire rendering operation unit 400.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 400, the first button decorative portion 411a of the button lens 411 in the operation button 410 extends toward the central axis line CL of the operation button 410 and is arranged in a row in the circumferential direction. The second button inner decorative portion 432g formed on the front plate portion 432b of the operation button inner decorative member 432 disposed on the inner rear side of the operation button 410 extends in an octagonal shape centered on the central axis CL In addition, as shown in FIG. 63, the concavo-convex line of the first button decorative part 411a and the concavo-convex line of the second in-button decorative part 432g intersect with each other, as shown in FIG. The decoration can be shown to the player.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 400, since the first button decorative portion 411a and the second in-button decorative portion 432g are separated in the front-rear direction (the direction in which the central axis CL extends), the first button decorative portion 411a and The second button inner decoration portion 432 g can show the player a geometrical pattern with a deep three-dimensional feel, and can enjoy the decoration including the inside of the operation button 410.

  Furthermore, in the effect operation unit 400, since the first button decorative portion 411a and the second in-button decorative portion 432g are separated in the front-rear direction, the unevenness of the first button decorative portion 411a occurs when the player's eyes move. Since the degree of overlap between the line and the concavo-convex line of the second button inner decorative portion 432g changes, it is possible to show the player a moving decoration, and the player can be entertained.

  As described above, the effect operation unit 400 allows the player to have a three-dimensional decoration with movement by the first button decoration portion 411a of the operation button 410 and the second button decoration portion 432g of the operation button inner decoration member 432.

Furthermore, when the projector mounting member 505 moves downward, the lower surface of the downwardly bent main body portion 512a abuts the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i of the pan unit cover 326, and further bending of the body portion 512a is restricted. The impact is transmitted to the dish unit cover 326. Thus, when the operation button 410 and the frame unit 415 are strongly hit from the upper side, the impact can be absorbed in multiple steps, and the attaching portion 416 e of the frame unit 415 and the effect operation unit attaching portion of the plate unit cover 326 Unreasonable force can be avoided from acting on 326a and the like to prevent their breakage.

FIG. 76 (a) is a view of the second effect operation unit as viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends with the main screen directed forward and is hidden by the first button decoration portion or button frame of the operation button. It is explanatory drawing which shows the site | part which is going, and (b) shows the site | part which it is going to hide by the 1st button decoration part of an operation button, button frame, etc. in sectional drawing of the 2nd rendering operation unit of the state of (a). FIG. FIG. 77 (a) is a view of the second effect operation unit as viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends with the sub screen directed forward and is hidden by the first button decoration portion or button frame of the operation button. It is explanatory drawing which shows the site | part which is going, and (b) shows the site | part which it is going to hide by the 1st button decoration part of an operation button, button frame, etc. in sectional drawing of the 2nd rendering operation unit of the state of (a). FIG.

  The second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment changes the decoration in the operation button 410, the operation button, or the like in accordance with the game state which changes as the game ball is hit into the game area 5a of the game board 5. The effect image can be displayed in 410 to entertain the player, and the player can operate the operation button 410 to cause the player to participate in the effect presented to the player. is there.

  The second effect operation unit 400A is formed such that the entire height thereof is substantially the same as the height of the lower portion of the through hole 111 of the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 of the door frame 3. In addition, the entire width of the second effect operation unit 400 </ b> A is formed to be slightly larger than 1⁄3 of the entire width of the door frame 3. The second effect operation unit 400A is disposed at the center in the left-right direction below the game area 5a (the through hole 111 of the door frame base 110) in a front view.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, the upper portion of the frame main body 416 of the frame unit 415 is attached to the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a of the dish unit cover 326 in the dish unit 320. The second effect operation unit 400A, when attached to the dish unit 320, is between the lower end of the leg portion 512b of the buffer base 512 of the buffer unit 510 and the upper surface of the bottom plate 326i of the dish unit cover 326 of the dish unit 320. There is a gap in the That is, only the upper part of the second effect operation unit 400A is attached to the plate unit 320, and is attached in a suspended state.

  Further, in the second effect operation unit 400A, the front surface of the frame unit 415 (the surface formed by the inner periphery of the front end of the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416) is parallel to the inclined surface of the front end opening of the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a. It is attached to become. Thereby, in the second effect operation unit 400A, the central axis line CL (see FIG. 67) of the transparent operation button 410 bulging forward in a curved surface shape (a shape of a part of a substantially spherical surface) is a vertical line. At an angle of 63 degrees, it is inclined to move upward as it goes forward. Thus, when the player is seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 to play a game using the pachinko machine 1, the head of the player is disposed above the plate unit 320 (second effect operation unit 400A) The central axis line CL of the operation button 410 passes near the head of the player, because the central axis CL of the operation button 410 is located in front of the center of the game area 5a in the game board 5 being played. Therefore, when the player drops his / her line of sight from the game area 5a to the second effect operation unit 400A (the operation button 410), the operation button 410 is as close as possible to the front view (the projection from the direction parallel to the central axis CL). The door frame side second effect display device 460A or the like in the operation button 410 or the operation button 410 can be visually recognized in a good state.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, the button shafts 452 held in the four holding holes 451d of the unit base 451 of the second base unit 450 slide on the four cylindrical guide bosses 413c of the operation button 410, respectively. It is inserted in a movable manner and biased forward by an operation button spring (not shown). In the second effect operation unit 400A, in the normal state (the state in which the operation button 410 is not pressed), the front end of the flange portion 413b of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 is the frame unit 415 by the biasing force of the operation button spring. A portion of the rear surface of the frame main body 416 near the central opening 416a.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, in the normal state, the center side (center axis line CL side) of the inner periphery of the button frame 412 in the operation button 410 goes forward from the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415. It protrudes. In other words, in the transparent button lens 411 bulging forward in a curved surface (a part of the shape of a substantially spherical surface) of the operation button 410, the portion projecting forward from the inner periphery (inner side) of the button frame 412 is , And protrudes forward from the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416 of the frame unit 415 (see FIG. 67 and the like).

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415 is about 15 cm, and (the front end of) the button lens 411 is the frame unit with respect to the central axis CL direction of the operation button 410. It projects about 4 cm forward from the front of 415.

  In the normal state, when the player depresses the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A, the operation button 410 moves rearward along the central axis CL against the biasing force of the operation button spring. When the rear end of the operation button 410 abuts on the front surface of the main body 451a of the unit base 451 of the second base unit 450, the backward movement is restricted and the backward movement of the operation button 410 is stopped. When the player presses the operation button 410, the button lens 411 which is bulging forward in a curved surface shape (a shape of a part of a substantially spherical surface) is pressed.

  The operation button 410 is formed so that the outer diameter is very large compared to the operation button for effect provided in the conventional pachinko machine, and therefore the peripheral edge away from the central portion of the button lens 411 is pressed It is likely to be More specifically, the operation button for effect in the conventional pachinko machine is attached such that the central axis extends substantially parallel to the vertical line, while the operation of the second effect operation unit 400A of this embodiment is performed. Since the central axis CL of the button 410 is attached to be inclined with respect to the vertical line, when the player presses the operation button 410 from the upper side as in the conventional pachinko machine, the button 410 is separated from the central axis CL of the operation button 410 The region will be pressed (see FIG. 61).

  By the way, since the operation button for effect in the conventional pachinko machine is formed on a flat surface on which the player performs the pressing operation, the operation button is enlarged while the portion to be pressed is made flat. When pressing a part out of the center of the operation button, the surface to be pressed is inclined so that the pressed part retreats first, and the operation button can not recede straight, and the operation button There is a possibility that the pressing operation can not be performed.

  On the other hand, in the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment, the portion (button lens 411) pressed and operated by the player has a curved surface (a part of a substantially spherical surface) Because the shape of the operation button 410 is pushed away from the center of the operation button 410, the force is dispersed to the entire operation button 410 and the operation button 410 becomes difficult to tilt, and the operation button 410 moves straight backward. can do. Therefore, even if any position on the front side of the operation button 410 is pressed, the operation button 410 can be smoothly retracted without being tilted, so that the pressing operation can be reliably detected, and the operation button 410 is pressed. It is possible to fully enjoy the effects of operation.

  In addition, in the second effect operation unit 400A, the vibration motor 424 is attached to the lower part of the front surface of the substrate base 421 in the decoration substrate unit 420, and as described above, the second effect operation unit 400A is suspended. Since only the upper part is attached to the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a of the pan unit cover 326, when the weight 424a is rotated by the vibration motor 424 to generate a vibration, the vibration is generated at the part farthest from the attached part Since it generate | occur | produces, the whole 2nd rendering operation unit 400A can be vibrated large (strongly), and a vibration can be transmitted to the player touching the 2nd rendering operation unit 400A. In addition, since the vibration motor 424 is disposed immediately below the position where the player can easily perform the pressing operation (near the upper portion of the operation button 410), the vibration is strong against the player pressing the operation button 410 Can be transmitted to surprise the player and enjoy the presentation.

  Furthermore, the second effect operation unit 400A is attached to the plate unit cover 326 in a suspended state, and the bottom plate of the projector attachment member 505 and the plate unit cover 326 of the door frame side second effect display device 460A. A buffer unit 510 is disposed between the upper surface of the portion 326i. The buffer unit 510 includes an elastically deformable buffer member 511, and a gap is formed between the main body 512a with which the buffer member 511 is in contact with the upper surface and the bottom plate 326i of the plate unit cover 326. Therefore, when the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is strongly pressed or hit downward, the impact is multistaged by elastic deformation (compression) of the buffer member 511, bending of the main portion 512a of the buffer base 512, or the like. It can be absorbed, and it can be avoided that an unreasonable force acts on the mounting portion 416e of the frame unit 415, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a of the plate unit cover 326, etc., and breakage of the second rendering operation unit 400A etc. Can be prevented. Therefore, even when the player presses the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 with a strong force or the like when the player is presented with the effect of pressing the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A, the operation is performed. Since the button 410 and the second effect operation unit 400A and the like are not damaged, interruption of the game due to the breakage can be avoided, and a decrease in the player's interest can be suppressed, and it is difficult to damage it. It is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the gaming hall side.

  In addition, since the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 pressed and operated by the player is formed in a curved surface (a part of the shape of a substantially spherical surface) projecting forward, compared with the case where it is flat. The strength and the rigidity are high, and even if struck strongly, the impact can be dispersed to the whole button lens 411, and the breakage is difficult.

  Further, in the second effect operation unit 400A, since the button lens 411, the frame side lens 417, and the frame top lens 418 are made of transparent members, the first button decorative portion formed on the back side thereof Decoration by unevenness such as 411a and the second button decoration portion 411b can be visually recognized from the front side (player side) (see FIG. 63). In addition, since the plate thickness is changed and light is complicatedly refracted at the portion where the decoration of the unevenness is formed, it is difficult to visually recognize the rear side through the portion where the decoration of the unevenness is formed .

  Since the second effect operation unit 400A includes the first button decoration portion 411a extending from the inner periphery to the center side of the button frame 412 of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410, a plurality of the first button decoration portions 411a It is possible to make the rear difficult to look at the outer peripheral portion of the portion to be the inner side of the button lens 411 by the decoration of the concavities and convexities in combination of the triangles. Behind the portion where the first button decorative portion 411a is formed (rearward in the central axis line CL direction), the inner peripheral surface of the main portion 413a of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 and the door frame side second effect display device A gap between the screen unit 470 and the outer periphery of the screen unit 470 is located, but the outer side or the back side of the screen unit 470 is viewed from the front side (player's side) by the first button decoration portion 411a located in front of the space. Can be obscured. Thereby, even if the door frame side second effect display device 460A is provided in the operation button 410 capable of pressing, deterioration in the appearance of the operation button 410 can be prevented, and the player who saw the operation button 410 can While being able to prevent having a sense of discomfort, the door frame side second effect display device 460A can be disposed without problems in the transparent operation button 410, and the appearance of the operation button 410 can be improved.

  More specifically, the second effect operation unit 400A uses the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, and the button frame 412 of the button lens 411 in the operation button 410 in the door frame side second effect display device 460A. The second base unit 450, the upper shaft member 473, the lower shaft member 474, and the like located on the rear side (back side) outside the outer periphery of the main screen 471, the sub screen 472, etc. It is shaped to be invisible. Specifically, in the first position with the main screen 471 of the screen unit 470 directed forward, the upper and lower outer sides of the main screen 471, the outer left of the peripheral decoration portion 472a of the sub screen 472 and the right of the peripheral decoration member 478 The outer part (in FIG. 76, the part of the cross hatch surrounded by an alternate long and short dash line) is made invisible from the player side.

  On the other hand, in the second position in which the sub screen 472 of the screen unit 470 is directed forward, the portion outside the annular peripheral decoration 472 a of the sub screen 472 (the portion of the cross hatch surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. ) But from the player side. As described above, since the operation button 410 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412, and the like, it is difficult to see the outside or the back side of the main screen 471 or the sub screen 472. It can be hidden, and the appearance of the operation button 410 and hence the entire second rendering operation unit 400A can be improved.

  In the first position where the main screen 471 faces forward, the screen portion 472 b of the sub screen 472 is formed by the first button decoration portion 411 a of the button lens 411, the second button decoration portion 411 b, the button frame 412 and the like. The sub screen decoration member 476 and the upper shaft member 473 and the lower shaft member 474 are less visible (see FIG. 76). As a result, it becomes difficult for the player to notice that the sub screen 472 exists, the main screen 471 can be rotated, etc. Therefore, when the screen unit 470 is rotated and switched from the main screen 471 to the sub screen 472 A movement beyond the player's expectation in the button 410 can be made to have a strong impact on the player, and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, in the second position where the sub screen 472 faces forward, the upper shaft member 473 and the lower shaft are formed by the first button decoration 411a, the second button decoration 411b, the button frame 412, etc. of the button lens 411. The member 474 is obscured (see FIG. 77). This makes it difficult for the player to notice that the sub screen 472 (the sub screen decoration member 476) can be rotated, thereby increasing the impact when the sub screen 472 (the screen unit 470) is rotated, The player can be entertained.

  In addition, the second effect operation unit 400A is a button lens 411 that can visually recognize the door frame side second effect display device 460A disposed on the rear side of the operation button 410. The door frame side second effect display disposed inside the rear of the operation button 410 while having a polyhedral first button decorative portion 411a combining a plurality of triangular surfaces within a predetermined width range The apparatus 460A is provided with a peripheral decoration portion 472a of a sub screen 472 in which a plurality of square weights are arranged, and a peripheral decoration member 478. Thus, the triangular decoration (first button decoration 411a) disposed on the front side and the quadrilateral decoration (peripheral decoration 472a and the peripheral decoration member 478) disposed on the rear side overlap so as to intersect with each other. This makes it possible to show a complicated geometric pattern to the player, improve the appearance, and suppress the deterioration of the player's interest.

  Further, as described above, since the first button decoration 411a mainly composed of a triangle, and the peripheral decoration 472a mainly consisting of a square and the peripheral decoration member 478 are separated in the front-rear direction, the eyes of the player When the position moves, the degree of overlapping of them changes, so that the geometric pattern that is seen overlapping changes, and it is possible for the player to show the decoration with motion, and the player to make the decoration with a three-dimensional feeling with depth. The player can be entertained.

  Furthermore, in the door frame side second effect display device 460A disposed behind the inside of the operation button 410, the screen unit 470 is rotated by driving the switching drive motor 492 to direct the main screen 471 forward, or a sub screen 472 can be directed forward, and the decoration consisting of a plurality of squares can be changed. More specifically, in the state where the main screen 471 is directed forward, as shown in FIG. 74 (a), the peripheral decorative portion 472a and the peripheral decorative member 478 are separated vertically and extend vertically. The decoration of the geometric pattern is such that the decoration consisting of a plurality of square weights arranged in a row crosses the decoration consisting of a plurality of triangles arranged in an annular ring of the first button decoration part 411a of the button lens 411 It can be shown to the player. On the other hand, when the sub-screen 472 is directed forward, as shown in FIG. 74 (b), the peripheral decoration portion 472a extends in an annular shape, and a decoration consisting of a plurality of square weights arranged in an annular shape. However, it is possible to show the player the decoration of the geometric pattern overlapped with the decoration consisting of a plurality of triangles arranged in an annular shape of the first button decoration portion 411a of the button lens 411. Therefore, by rotating the screen unit 470, the decoration (physical decoration) of the operation button 410 can be changed, so that the player's attention is drawn to the operation button 410 by the change of the decoration, or The change can cause the player to suggest the arrival of a chance or the like, and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, the second effect operation unit 400A has a screen (main screen 471 and sub screen 472) having different switchable forms on the door frame side second effect display device 460A provided in the operation button 410. Since the unit 470 and the projector 500 for projecting and displaying the effect image on the screen unit 470 are provided, it is possible to display an effect image which is completely different from the display of the effect image by the liquid crystal display device, and a strong impact on the player Can be entertained. More specifically, the screen unit 470 includes a semi-cylindrical main screen 471 and a disc-shaped sub screen 472 having a sub-screen decorative member 476 in the center in the center, and the centers of the upper shaft member 473 and the lower shaft member 474. It is provided separately in the circumferential direction of the rotation angle of 90 degrees around the axis.

  Then, in the first position where the main screen 471 of the screen unit 470 is directed forward in the door frame side second effect display device 460A, the semi-cylindrical central axis is positioned to extend in the left-right direction, When viewed from the front, it looks like a rectangle (rectangle) extending vertically (see FIG. 74 (a)). When the effect image is irradiated forward from the projector 500 disposed behind the main screen 471, the effect image is projected on the rear surface of the main screen 471 (see FIG. 75A), and the milky white light transmitting property is obtained. The effect image projected from the front side can be visually recognized through the main screen 471 of FIG. Since the main screen 471 is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape with a smooth surface, the effect image is also curved in a semi-cylindrical shape on the display screen. Thus, while the display screen of the general liquid crystal display device is flat, the display screen of the main screen 471 is curved in a semi-cylindrical shape, so that the conventional display screen appears to the player And the player can be surprised, the player can be made to pay attention to the main screen 471, and the effect image projected and displayed on the main screen 471 can be entertained. be able to.

  On the other hand, in the second position where the sub screen 472 of the screen unit 470 is directed forward, the disk-like central axis substantially coincides with the central axis of the operation button 410, and the circular operation button 410 It appears that the sub screen decoration member 476 imitating a skull is located at the center (see FIG. 74 (b)). In this state, when the effect image is irradiated forward from the projector 500 disposed behind, the effect image is projected on the rear surface of the sub screen 472. By the way, since a flat and opaque subscreen decoration substrate 477 is attached to the back side of the subscreen 472, the effect image (light) emitted from the projector 500 at the portion of the subscreen decoration substrate 477 And the shadow of the subscreen decorative substrate 477 is projected on the central part of the rear surface of the subscreen 472 (see FIG. 75 (b)). Therefore, in the sub screen 472, the effect image from the projector 500 is projected and displayed on the outer peripheral portion excluding the central portion on which the shadow of the sub screen decorative substrate 477 is projected. At this time, when the LED 477a mounted on the front surface of the sub screen decoration substrate 477 is made to emit light, the central portion of the sub screen 472 can be made to emit light by the light, and the sub provided in the center of the sub screen 472 The screen decoration member 476 can be lighted and decorated. In addition, by making the LED 477a of the sub screen decoration substrate 477 emit light, the shadow of the sub screen decoration substrate 477 projected on the rear surface of the sub screen 472 can be obscured by the light from the projector 500. The entire side can be brightly decorated.

  The door frame side second effect display device 460A emits the LED 477a of the sub screen decoration substrate 477 with the sub screen 472 of the screen unit 470 directed forward, and the effect image (moving image) forward from the projector 500. When illuminated, the effect image is displayed on the portion of the sub screen 472 where the shadow of the sub screen decoration substrate 477 is not projected, that is, the portion outside the sub screen decoration member 476 consisting of the decoration imitating a skull The sub screen decoration member 476 which becomes the inner side of the light emitting decoration is emitted by the LED 477 a of the sub screen decoration substrate 477. In this state, the outside of the light emission decoration of the fixed sub screen decoration member 476 is decorated by the effect image (moving image), and a decoration effect which is completely different from the light emission decoration of the decoration member in the conventional pachinko machine While being able to show to a player and giving a strong impact to a player, a player can be made to pay attention to the subscreen 472 strongly. Further, in this state, the light of the LED 477a is brighter (at high brightness) than the brightness of the effect image inside the effect image, and thus a partially high-intensity effect image which can not be achieved by the conventional liquid crystal display device Can be displayed, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted and, at the same time, it is possible to display an effect image that makes the player more entertaining.

  Thus, the second effect operation unit 400A includes the first button decoration portion 411a of the operation button 410 and the decoration (the peripheral decoration portion 472a and the peripheral decoration member 478) of the screen unit 470 in the door frame side second effect display device 460A. Since the player can show the player a decoration with a three-dimensional effect by the movement, the player's interest can be strongly attracted and the pachinko machine 1 with high appeal can be obtained.

  In addition, the second effect operation unit 400A can emit light such as an effect image or the like to the front of the sub screen decoration substrate 477 on the front surface of which the LED 477a is mounted in the back of the operation button 410 (inside the button frame 412). The door frame side second effect display device 460A having the projector 500 is provided, and the inside of the operation button 410 can be favorably decorated by the door frame side second effect display device 460A.

  Further, behind the second button decoration portion 411b facing from the frame opening 412a of the button frame 412 located near the outer periphery of the second effect operation unit 400A and the operation button 410, the operation button left outer decoration substrate 422 in the decoration substrate unit 420 The first LEDs 422a of the first operation button and the first LEDs 423a of the operation button right outer decoration substrate 423 are arranged, and the six second button decoration portions 411b of the operation button 410 are caused to emit light by emitting the first LEDs 422a and 423a. be able to. As shown in FIG. 68, the first LED 422a of the operation button left outer decorative substrate 422 and the first LED 423a of the operation button right outer decorative substrate 423 have a cylindrical main portion 413a of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 and a frame unit Since the light from the first LED 422a, 423a does not leak to the inner side of the main body portion 413a or the outer side of the inner cylindrical portion 416d, it is located between the cylindrical inner cylindrical portion 416d in the frame main body 416 of Only the second button decoration portion 411b of the button 410 can be lighted and decorated favorably.

  Furthermore, the second effect operation unit 400A is located behind the frame side lens 417 facing from the six outer peripheral openings 416b of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415, the second LED 422b of the operation button left outer decorative substrate 422 and the operation button right outside The second LEDs 423 b of the decorative substrate 423 are disposed, and the frame side lens 417 can be decorated to emit light by causing the second LEDs 422 b and 423 b to emit light. The second LED 422b of the operation button left outer decorative substrate 422 and the second LED 423b of the operation button right outer decorative substrate 423 are between the cylindrical inner cylindrical portion 416d of the frame main body 416 of the frame unit 415 and the outer periphery of the frame main body 416 It is located, and the light from the second LED 422b, 423b does not leak to the inside of the inner cylindrical portion 416d or the outside of the frame main body 416, and only the frame side lens 417 of the frame unit 415 can be well decorated. .

[3-8. Operation effect of door frame]
The operation and effect of the door frame 3 will be described. The door frame 3 in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment has the through holes 111 penetrating the front and rear of the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 larger in the vertical and horizontal directions than in the conventional pachinko machine. The heights of the plate unit 320 and the door frame top unit 570 in the vertical direction are reduced according to the enlargement of the through hole 111, and the width of the door frame left side unit 530 and the door frame right side unit 550 in the left and right direction Is made smaller. Thereby, the front of the game board 5 (game area 5a) attached to the main frame 4 can be made as wide as possible visible to the player (forward) through the through hole 111 (glass unit 190). , Corresponds to the large game board 5 of the game area 5a.

  The door frame 3 has a large hemispherical operation button 410 at the center in the left-right direction of the plate unit 320 bulging forward on the lower side of the through hole 111 (second effect operation unit 400A) And the front half of the lower half (the lower part of the upper plate 321) on the left and right sides of the rendering operation unit 400 (the front of the lower front decoration part 326c) is recessed to turn backward (dish unit The front surface of both left and right sides of the rendering operation unit 400 is formed in a concave shape so that the front surfaces of the left and right sides of the rendering operation unit 400 are positioned backward from the straight line connecting the front ends of the left and right ends of 320 and the front ends of the left and right ends of the rendering operation unit 400 ing. As a result, the rendering operation unit 400 attached to the front in the center in the left-right direction of the plate unit 320 appears to be largely protruded forward, so that the rendering operation unit 400 is highlighted and emphasized for the player. It can be made to pay attention to the rendering operation unit 400 strongly.

  In the door frame 3, the rendering operation unit 400 disposed on the front surface of the plate unit 320 below the through hole 111 is inclined so that the large hemispherical transparent operation button 410 faces obliquely upward and forward. Because the player is seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 because it is attached in the state, the operation button 410 faces the player's head (face), and the player loses his sight and effects operation unit 400. When viewed, the operation button 410 can be seen almost in front, and the large and round operation button 410 can be strongly viewed, and the sense of expectation for the effect using the operation button 410 can be enhanced. In addition, the effect image displayed on the door frame side effect display device 460 disposed in the transparent operation button 410 can be visually recognized in a good state, and the effect image is sufficiently facilitated. Maseru can be.

  In addition, since the door frame 3 has the operation button 410 having a diameter substantially the same as the entire height of the plate unit 320 and bulging forward, the operation of the operation button 410 requires a short distance of hand movement. It is possible to touch any part of the operation button 410, and "early pressing" of the operation button 410 can be performed relatively easily. In addition, since the operation button 410, which has a large diameter and bulges forward, is attached in an inclined state, it can not only be pressed from the top like the operation button of a conventional pachinko machine, but also it can be operated left or right The operation can be performed well even from the front, and the operation using the operation button 410 can be more enjoyable by the operation button 410 having a good operability.

  In addition, the door frame 3 is attached to the effect operation unit 400 by the plate unit 320 in a suspended state, and is provided with the vibration motor 424 for generating vibration in the lower part of the effect operation unit 400. According to the state, when the vibration motor 424 is rotated to generate vibration, a strong vibration can be transmitted to the player's hand touching the upper portion of the operation button 410, and the player is surprised by the operation button The presentation using the 410 can be further enjoyed.

  Furthermore, since the door frame 3 is provided with a large operation button 410 (rendering operation unit 400) across the entire height of the plate unit 320 at the front center of the plate unit 320, the upper plate 321 is compared with a conventional pachinko machine. Since the lower plate 322 below is not noticeable, it can be made easy to make the player who is familiar with the conventional pachinko machine clearly recognize that it is clearly different, and the player's attention is strongly attracted It can be a high power pachinko machine 1.

  Further, the door frame 3 forms the lower plate 322 so as to wrap around the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 with respect to the lower plate opening portion 326 d opened on the left side of the effect operation unit 400 in the front surface of the plate unit 320 Therefore, the volume of the lower plate 322 can be increased relative to the size of the lower plate opening portion 326d, and the number of game balls stored in the lower plate 322 can be sufficiently secured. In addition, since the rear of the lower plate 322 turns to the rear side of the effect operation unit 400, when the player puts the left hand in the lower plate 322 or places the left finger on the lower plate opening 326d. Since it is difficult for the fingertip to touch the wall behind the lower plate 322, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel discomfort, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest for the game, and the size of the lower plate opening 326d. It can also be recognized that the volume of the lower plate 322 is larger than the height by touch.

  Further, the door frame 3 is a lower portion for pulling out the gaming balls of the lower tray ball supply port 323c and the lower tray 322 from the upper tray 321 to the lower tray 322 into the lower portion of the tray unit 320 or the like. The countersink holes 322a are arranged linearly in the front and rear direction, and are arranged on the right outside (right side of the left end of the frame unit 415 of the rendering operation unit 400) of the lower plate opening 326d in front view. That is, the lower bowl ball supply port 323c and the lower bowl ball extraction hole 322a, the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a (right outer side of the lower plate opening portion 326d) in the effect operation unit 400 and the plate unit cover 326, the front end of the lower plate cover 340 Since the player is disposed behind the side, etc., the player can not see the lower ball supply port 323c and the lower ball removal hole 322a, and the appearance of the plate unit 320 (pachinko machine 1) can be refreshed. The appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved.

  Further, in the lower frame 322, since the lower countersink hole 322a is disposed below (in front of) the lower plate ball supply port 323c in the lower tray 322, the lower frame ball opening 322a is opened. Then, the gaming balls discharged from the upper plate 321 or the like to the lower plate 322 are immediately discharged from the lower plate ball removal hole 322a to the lower dollar box or the like when they enter the lower plate 322. At this time, since the lower bowl ball supply port 323c and the lower bowl ball removal hole 322a can not be seen from the player side, the flow of gaming balls discharged from the upper plate 321 or the like through the lower plate 322 to the dollar box is also I can not see it. In this way, it is possible to give the illusion that the game balls and the like paid out from the payout device 830 in a state that the game balls of the upper plate 321 and the upper plate 321 are full for the player are directly discharged to the dollar box. Since it is possible to make it difficult for the game ball to feel the troublesomeness of passing through the lower plate 322, it is possible to concentrate the player on the game (such as the operation to hit the game ball and the effect image) and to suppress the decrease in interest. it can.

  Further, in the lower frame 322, the door frame 3 has the lower flat ball opening hole 322a at the front left position of the lower flat ball supply opening 323c, and the lower plate 322 stands upright on the right side of the lower flat ball opening 322a. Since the upper wall portion is bent obliquely so as to face the lower ball ball extraction hole 322a, the gaming ball supplied from the lower ball ball supply port 323c to the lower plate 322 is directly moved to the lower ball ball. The light can be guided to the hole 322a, or can be reflected to the right side wall and indirectly guided to the lower circular ball hole 322a. Thus, in the state where the lower ball ball extraction hole 322a is open, the gaming ball supplied from the lower ball ball supply port 323c to the lower plate 322 is a region on the lower plate 322 on the left side of the lower ball ball extraction hole 322a. (The lower plate first area A1) can be discharged downward from the lower plate ball removal hole 322a without entering the lower plate 322 without showing the gaming balls circulating in the lower plate 322 to the player. The game ball can be discharged downward (dollar box), and the same effect as described above can be exhibited.

  In addition, the door frame 3 includes the lower plate opening portion 326d of the plate unit cover 326 with the lower plate 322 facing forward, between the effect operation unit attaching portion 326a (effect operation unit 400) and the lower speaker opening 326e. Therefore, even if the player puts his hand on the lower plate opening 326d or puts his hand on the lower plate 322, the front of the lower speaker opening 326e is not blocked by the player's hand. The sound from the speaker 921 in the board unit 900 can be output forward well, and the sound by the pachinko machine 1 can be enjoyed. In addition, when the player places a hand on the lower plate 322 or moves close to it, the player can tactilely feel the vibration due to the deep bass from the speaker 921 which is output forward from the lower speaker port 326e. Can entertain people and control the decline in interest.

  In addition, since the door frame 3 is provided with the door frame right side unit 550 which is plate-shaped and protrudes forward largely from the right side of the through hole 111, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed on the island facility of the game hall Since the frame right side unit 550 can exert an operation effect such as a partition between the pachinko machine adjacent to the right side, the player playing a game with this pachinko machine 1 can play a game in a private room It is possible to give an illusion of a feeling of being present, and to play the game in a relaxed atmosphere without hesitation to other players around.

In addition, when the movable piece member 826 rotates the lower end of the movable piece 826a in a direction (right direction in front view) approaching the wall of the guide passage 822c, the left surface of the movable piece 826a becomes the guide passage 822c. I agree with the inside. In this state, the detection piece 826f after the movable piece member 826 is in a non-detection state with respect to the out-of-ball detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the induction passage 822c, the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 is not detected.

  In the ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment, a plurality of gaming balls are supplied in a row in the back and forth direction by the tank rail 803, and the front case 821 and the rear case are provided in a state in which the plurality of gaming balls are aligned. 822 can lead to the lower dispensing device 830 in two rows back and forth (see FIG. 113). At this time, since the front case 821 and the rear case 822 are separated by the partition plate 823, the gaming balls flowing through the respective guide passages 821c, 822c do not interfere with each other, and are well distributed. Can.

  In addition, when the game ball circulates in the guide passages 821c and 822c of the ball guidance unit 820, the game ball abuts on the movable piece 825a and 826a of the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826, and the movable piece 825a and 826a The movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 rotate in a direction coincident with the wall surfaces of the guide passages 821 c and 822 c. Thereby, the detection pieces 825f and 826f of the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 are in a non-detection state with respect to the out-of-ball detection sensor 827, and it can be seen that gaming balls are present in the guide paths 821c and 822c.

  When the payout device 830 on the downstream side of the ball guidance unit 820 pays out the game balls, the game balls in the guide paths 821c and 822c flow downstream. When the game ball flows in the guide passage 821c, 822c, the momentum of the game ball flowing in the introduction portion 821d, 822d becomes stronger, and the game ball flowing in the introduction portion 821d, 822d is the movable piece at the upper portion It will rebound to the 825a, 826a side, and will abut on the movable piece 825a, 826a. Since the movable pieces 825a and 826a vibrate due to the contact of the game balls, they are pinched or invaded between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the notches 821g and 822g of the guide paths 821c and 822c by the vibration. Dust and dirt can be removed, and the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be favorably rotated by their own weight and the like.

  In addition, the ball guiding unit 820 detects the game balls circulating in the guiding passages 821c and 822c by means of the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 respectively, and the movable piece front 825 and Since each detection piece 825f, 826f of the movable piece member 826 is detected by one ball breakage detection sensor 827, when the game ball in any of the guide paths 821c, 822c disappears, the movable piece member front is removed. The movable pieces 825a and 826a of the back 825 or movable piece member 826 rotate so as to protrude into the guiding passages 821c and 822c, and the detection pieces 825f and 826f on the side where the game ball is lost are detected by the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 Ru. Therefore, the game balls can be detected early, so that the game balls can be quickly replenished, and by reducing the time for interrupting the game as much as possible, the player's interest can be reduced. It can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, the weight of the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 and the weight can be obtained by screwing in and attaching a metal screw as a weight to the weight attachment portions 825e and 826e of the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826. As a result, the lower end sides of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be easily turned in the direction of projecting into the guide passages 821c and 822c. In addition, the upper end of the movable piece 825a, 826a is rotatably attached outside the induction passage 821c, 822c, and the lower end side protrudes in the induction passage 821c, 822c, so dust in the induction passage 821c, 822c No dust or the like adheres to the upper end or the lower end of the movable pieces 825a, 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a, 826a turn to the wall side of the guide passage 821c, 822c, dust and dirt do not get caught between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a, 826a and the wall, so their own weight etc. Thus, the rotation of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be suppressed.

  As described above, in the ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment, the movable piece 825a, 826a at the lower end side of the movable piece 825a, 826a after the movable piece 825 and 826 after the lower end side protrudes into the guiding passage 821c, 822c By attaching weights made of metal screws to the weight attachment portions 825e and 826e on the opposite side of the surface in contact with the game ball, the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 by their own weight and weight of the weight The lower end sides of 825a and 826a can be easily rotated (projected) into the guide passages 821c and 822c. In addition, the upper end of the movable piece 825a, 826a is rotatably attached outside the induction passage 821c, 822c, and the lower end side protrudes in the induction passage 821c, 822c, so dust in the induction passage 821c, 822c No dust or the like adheres to the upper end or the lower end of the movable pieces 825a, 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a, 826a turn to the wall side of the guide passage 821c, 822c, dust and dirt do not get caught between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a, 826a and the wall, so their own weight etc. Accordingly, the movable pieces 825a and 826a (the movable piece members 825 and 826) can be prevented from rotating.

  In addition, in order to screw and attach a metal screw as a weight to weight attachment portions 825e and 826e as through holes, the weight is fixed even if the front of movable piece 825 and the rear of movable piece 826 rotate frequently. The movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 can be maintained in a good state for a long time without coming off from the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 (weight attachment parts 825 e, 826 e) . In addition, since the weight can be easily attached to the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 simply by screwing a metal screw into the weight attachment portions 825 e and 826 e, the process of attaching the weight can be simplified. The cost of assembling the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

  Furthermore, since the introduction portions 821d and 822d for guiding the game balls toward the movable pieces 825a and 826a are provided on the upstream side of the portion where the movable pieces 825a and 826a project inward in the guide passages 821c and 822c. Since the gaming ball flows in the guiding passage 821c, 822c, the gaming ball contacts the movable piece 825a, 826a, so that the movable piece 825a, 826a can be vibrated by the abutment of the gaming ball. Therefore, dust, dirt and the like which are pinched or intruded between the movable pieces 825a, 826a and the walls of the induction passages 821c, 822c can be removed by the vibration of the movable pieces 825a, 826a, and movable by their own weight etc. The front member 825 and the rear movable member 826 can be rotated well.

  Therefore, since the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 can be favorably rotated, the state (presence or absence) of the gaming ball in the guiding path 821c, 822c can be detected reliably, and It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a defect due to a false detection or the like. In addition, even if the game ball supplied to the payout device 830 disappears from the inside of the guide passage 821c, 822c, the presence or absence in the guide passage 821c, 822c can be reliably detected through the movable pieces 825a, 826a. The game ball can be replenished to the game ball, and by reducing the time for interrupting the game as much as possible, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the player's interest.

  Further, the rear box 832 is formed at the upper part of the right side surface in a front view and a guiding shelf 832f projecting forward as it goes downward at a portion extending vertically toward the dispensing outlet 832b in the dispensing passage 832d. And a lever mounting portion 832g for slidably mounting the ball release lever 844 in the vertical direction.

  The delivery passages 831 d and 832 d and the ball removal passages 831 e and 832 e of the front box 831 and the rear box 832 are formed in the same shape. The dispensing passages 831 d and 832 d are partitioned by the partition plate 841 up to the upstream of the portion where the dispensing blade 839 is disposed. Further, a payout detection sensor 842 is attached between the guide racks 831 f and 832 f and the payout outlets 831 b and 832 b. That is, the gaming balls distributed in the dispensing passage 831d of the front box 831 and the gaming balls distributed in the dispensing passage 832d of the rear box 832 are front and rear of the front box 831 and the rear box 832 by the respective guide shelves 831f and 832f. It is brought close to the boundary and detected by one payout detection sensor 842.

  The driven gear 837 radially protrudes from the rear surface of the gear portion 837a in the circumferential direction at an angle of 60 degrees from the rear surface of the spur gear shape that meshes with the intermediate gear 836 and can be detected by the blade rotation detection sensor 840 A plurality of detection pieces 837b, and a connection portion 837c which protrudes cylindrically from the center of the gear portion 837a and has projections and depressions formed on the peripheral surface of the rear end and which can be connected to the discharge blade 839 .

  The delivery blade 839 extends in a cylindrical shape from the front to the back, and projects in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the base cylinder 839a at regular intervals from the front end of the base cylinder 839a into which the shaft member 838 is inserted and the front end of the base cylinder 839a. (A plurality of (three) front blades 839b, and a plurality of (three) projecting from the rear end of the base cylindrical portion 839a in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the base cylindrical portion 839a at regular intervals in the circumferential direction so as to alternate with the front blades 839b The third part of the rear blade 839c, and a connected part projecting cylindrically forward from the front end of the base cylindrical part 839a and having projections and depressions that can be connected to the connecting part 837c of the driven gear 837 on the peripheral surface of the front end And 839 d.

  The front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c of the discharge blade 839 are respectively provided three by three at an angular interval of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction, and the rear blade 839c is circumferentially opposed to the front blade 839b so as to be staggered. It is extended outward at an angle of 60 degrees in the direction. In the payout blade 839 of the present embodiment, three front blades 839 b (rear blades 839 c) are connected by a circular arc recessed toward the center, and the diameter of the circular arc is the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the gaming ball. As a result, between the front wings 839b (rear wings 839c), a ball accommodating portion 839e capable of accommodating only one game ball is formed.

  Further, the diameter D1 of the outer circumference of the three front blades 839b and the rear blades 839c with respect to the axis of the base cylindrical portion 839a is formed to be 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball. In addition, the diameter D2 centered on the axis of the base cylindrical portion 839a to the portion closest to the axis of the base cylindrical portion 839a in the portion (ball housing portion 839e) of the arc between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c) Is formed about 0.3 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball. That is, the depth [(diameter D1-diameter D2) / 2] from the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c to the most recessed portion of the ball housing portion 839e is 0.1 to 0. 0 of the outer diameter of the gaming ball. It is supposed to be four times.

  Therefore, about 3/10 (between 1/4 and 1/3) of the outer circumference of the gaming ball may be held by the portion (ball housing portion 839e) of the arc between the front blades 839b (the rear blades 839c). it can. In other words, a depth of about 1/5 (1/7 to 1/4) of the outer diameter of the gaming ball can be accommodated. As a result, the gaming balls in the payout paths 831d and 832d can be quickly stored in the space (ball housing portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c).

  In the delivery blade 839 of this embodiment, the front blade 839b is located in the delivery passage 831d of the front box 831 and the rear blade 839c is located in the delivery passage 832d of the rear box 832 in the assembled state of the delivery device 830. The game balls in the payout paths 831 d and 832 d can be paid out respectively. Further, the delivery blade 839 is disposed at a location where the delivery passage 831d, 832d is bent in a crank shape below the center of the entire height of the front box 831 and the rear box 832. Specifically, in the dispensing passages 831d and 832d, the center of rotation of the dispensing blade 839 is located immediately below the portion vertically extending downward from near the center of the entire height of the front box 831 and the rear box 832. In the crank-shaped portion of the dispensing passages 831d and 832d, the wall (inner wall) far from the dispensing blade 839 is centered on the rotation center of the dispensing blade 839 and from the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c. It is formed in an arc shape separated by a distance S smaller than the outer diameter of the game ball. In the present embodiment, the distance S is 0.7 to 0.9 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball. In other words, the distance from the most recessed portion of the ball housing portion 839e to the portion formed in the arc shape of the payout paths 831d and 832d is 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball. .

  Thus, the payout device 830 passes the crank-shaped portions of the payout passages 831 d and 832 d when the gaming balls having flowed down onto the payout blades 839 abut the outer periphery of the front blade 839 b and the rear blade 839 c. And can not be discharged downward from the delivery outlets 831 b and 832 b. On the other hand, when the gaming ball is housed in the ball housing portion 839e, it moves along with the rotation of the payout blade 839, and can pass through the cranked portion of the payout passage 831d, 832d, and from the payout outlet 831b, 832b It is discharged downward.

  Further, in the payout device 830, the diameter D1 of the front wing 839b and the rear wing 839c is set to about 1.2 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball, and the outer diameter of the gaming ball is 1 by the ball accommodating portion 839e. Since the depth of 1⁄7 to 1⁄4 is accommodated, it is possible to shorten the time taken to accommodate the gaming balls while reducing the outer diameter of the payout blade 839 as much as possible. Thereby, even if the payout wing 839 is rotated fast, the gaming ball can be housed in the ball housing portion 839e and sent to the payout outlet 831b, 832b side. Therefore, the number of game balls paid out per unit time can be increased more than in the past, and the time taken to pay out the game balls can be shortened.

  The ball removal movable piece 843 extends in a plate shape in the top and bottom and front and back, and the lower portion is bent to extend in a tubular shape in the front and back at the upper end of the main portion 843a formed in a V shape. A cylindrical portion 843b rotatably attached at its both ends to the front box 831 and the rear box 832, a projecting portion 843c projecting from an upper portion of the V-shaped outer surface of the main portion 843a, and a main portion 843a And a weight attaching portion 843d (see FIG. 105) formed of a through hole penetrating in the front and back direction in a lower part bent in a V-shape.

  In the assembled state of the dispensing device 830, the ball removal movable piece 843 is oriented such that the lower portion of the main body 843a extends obliquely to the lower left in front view, and the upper cylindrical portion 843b dispenses the front box 831 and the rear box 832 In the passages 831d and 832d, it is possible to turn at a position obliquely extending from the delivery port 831a and 832a to the lower right in the front view and at a position outside the wall on the right side in the front view slightly above the portion bent downward Is attached to

  In the normal state, the dispensing device 830 according to the present embodiment slides the ball release lever 844 downward, and the lower portion of the ball release lever 844 is in contact with the protrusion 843 c of the ball release movable piece 843 from the right in front view. I am in touch. Thereby, the pivoting movable piece 843 is restricted from turning counterclockwise in a front view (see FIG. 105A).

  In this normal state, in the main portion 843a of the ball-extracting movable piece 843 bent in the V-shape, the upper side of the bent portion extends vertically, and the lower side of the bent portion is a front left lower left It extends to The lower end of the main body 843a is located in the vicinity of a portion where the dispensing passages 831d and 832d and the ball removing passages 831e and 832e are branched. Therefore, while the ball removal passages 831e and 832e are closed by the ball removal movable piece 843 (the main body portion 843a), the surface of the main body portion 843a facing the left forms a part of the walls of the discharge passages 831d and 832d. doing.

  The unrolling movable piece 843 of this embodiment is formed so that the center of gravity of the unpunching movable piece 843 is located on the left side in a front view of a vertical line passing through the center of the axial cylinder portion 843b in a normal state. Thus, a force is exerted to try to rotate counterclockwise in a front view, but since the counterclockwise rotation is restricted by the ball release lever 844, the normal state is maintained.

  When the ball extracting lever 844 is slid upward from the normal state, the lower part of the ball extracting lever 844 is separated from the projecting portion 843 c of the ball extracting movable member 843 and the counterclockwise movement of the ball extracting movable member 843 is counterclockwise. Motion restrictions are lifted. Therefore, the ball removing movable piece 843 is pivoted counterclockwise by its own weight so that the center of gravity is positioned immediately below the shaft cylinder portion 843 b. The ball removal movable piece 843 rotates counterclockwise until the lower right side surface of the main body 843a abuts on the left surface of the member forming the right side surface of the front box 831 and the rear box 832. (See FIG. 105 (b)). As a result, the ball releasing passages 831e and 832e are opened, and the gaming balls entering from the payout openings 831a and 832a contact the main body 843a of the ball releasing movable piece 843 in the middle of the payout passages 831d and 832d. The ball removing movable piece 843 is pivoted counterclockwise in a front view to open the ball removing passages 831e and 832e, and flows through the opened ball removing passages 831e and 832e and discharged downward from the ball removing outlets 831c and 832c. The Rukoto.

  In this embodiment, since the ball removing movable piece 843 is provided with a weight attaching portion 843d, the ball removing lever 844 is slid upward by screwing in and attaching a weight made of a metal screw to the weight attaching portion 843d. And when the restriction of the pivoting in the counterclockwise direction in the front view is released, the lower end of the deballing movable piece 843 is projected into the deballing passage 831e, 832e by the weight of the deballing movable piece 843 and the weight of the weight. It can be made easy to turn in the direction (counterclockwise in front view).

  Further, in a normal state in which the ball extracting lever 844 is slid downward to close the ball extracting passages 831e and 832e, the gaming ball entering from the payout opening 831a and 832a is attached to the main body 843a of the ball releasing movable piece 843. Since the contact is made, it is possible to vibrate the ball removing movable piece 843 by the contact of the game ball. Therefore, dust, dirt, etc. which are pinched or invaded between the lower end of the ball removing movable piece 843 and the inner surface of the ball removing passage 831e, 832e can be removed by the vibration of the ball removing movable piece 843. It is possible to prevent the ball removal movable piece 843 from being unable to rotate by biting in dust or the like.

  In addition, since the metal screw as the weight can be screwed into and attached to the weight attachment portion 843d formed as the through hole, the weight can be removed from the movable member 843 even if the movable member 843 rotates frequently The ball removal movable piece 843 can be maintained in a good state for a long time without being detached from the (weight attachment portion 843d). In addition, since the weight can be easily attached to the ball removal movable piece 843 simply by screwing the metal screw into the weight attachment portion 843d, the time and effort for attaching the weight can be simplified. Cost can be reduced.

When a game ball is received in the first start opening 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out to the upper tray 321 from the payout device 830 through the main control substrate 1310 and the payout control substrate 951. .

  When the gaming ball rolling on the stage 2530 is released from outside the center into the gaming area 5a, it flows down toward the starting opening unit 2100. The game balls released from the stage 2530 of the center role 2500 into the game area 5a may be accepted by the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100, the large winning opening 2005, etc.

  By the way, when the gaming ball which has flowed down to the left side of the center character 2500 does not enter the warp inlet 2520, it is moved to the center side in the left-right direction by the side unit upper 2300 and There is a possibility that it can be accepted by the starting opening 2002 and the like. Then, when the game ball is received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out to the upper tray 321 from the payout device 830 through the main control substrate 1310 and the payout control substrate 951. .

  On the other hand, when the game ball hit in the upper part of the center character 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the center character 2500 (so-called right strike), Downstream from that, the region where the gate portion 2003 and the second start port 2004 are provided will flow down.

  Then, when the game ball hit to the right passes through the gate section 2003, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310, and if the lottery result is “normal hit”, the second starting opening 2004 is for a predetermined time ( For example, during 0.3 to 10 seconds, the game machine is opened and the game ball can be received in the second start port 2004. Then, when a game ball is received in the second start port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out to the upper tray 321 from the payout device 830 through the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. Ru.

  In this embodiment, in the normal lottery performed by the game ball passing through the gate portion 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the normal lottery until the normal lottery result is suggested (for example, 0. 0. 01 to 60 seconds, also commonly referred to as fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second start port 2004 normally opens after the fluctuation time has elapsed.

  In addition, if the game ball passes through the gate unit 2003 during the period after the game ball passes through the gate unit 2003 until the normal lottery result is suggested, the normal lottery result can not be started, so the normal lottery The start of the suggestion of the result is put on hold until the suggestion of the previous regular lottery result is finished. In addition, the number of reserved normal lottery results has an upper limit of up to four, and more than that, even if the game ball passes through the gate section 2003, it is discarded without being suspended. Thereby, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by the accumulation of the suspension.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming ball is received in the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004, an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit", " A drawing of a special drawing result is generated which generates a middle hit, a small hit, a probability change, a time reduction, and the like. Then, the selected special lottery result is suggested to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also referred to as a special fluctuation time). In addition, in the special lottery result that is drawn by the game ball being received in the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004, “lost”, “small hit”, “2R big hit”, “5R big hit”, “5 There are 15R big hit, "per probability change (probability change)", "time reduction (time reduction) per hit", "probability change time per shot", "probability change time for short loss", etc.

  In the case of the special lottery result that the special lottery result (the first special lottery result and the second special lottery result) drawn by the reception of the game ball to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 causes the advantageous gaming state After the elapse of the special variation time, the special winning opening 2005 becomes ready to receive the game ball in a predetermined opening / closing pattern. When the game ball is received in the big winning hole 2005 when the big winning hole 2005 is open, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of gaming balls are taken from the payout device 830 by the main control substrate 1310 and the payout substrate. Is dispensed onto the upper plate 321. Therefore, when the large winning opening 2005 can receive the game ball, by causing the large winning opening 2005 to receive the game ball, many game balls can be paid out, and the player can be entertained.

  When the special lottery result is "small hit", the big winning opening 2005 becomes open state which can receive the game ball for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds) The opening and closing pattern to be closed is repeated several times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is "big hit", a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the big winning opening 2005 becomes open capable of accepting gaming balls, or to the big winning opening 2005. If any of the predetermined number of (for example, 10) game ball acceptance conditions is satisfied, the open / close pattern (one open / close pattern is referred to as one round) for closing the game ball in an unacceptable closed state is predetermined Repeat the number of times (predetermined number of rounds). For example, "2R big hit" is repeated for two rounds, "5R big hit" for 5 rounds, and "15R big hit" for 15 rounds to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

  In the "big hit", after the end of the big hit game, change the probability that "special hit" such as "big hit" will be drawn ("perhaps"), or change the display time of the effect image that suggests the special lottery result There is a hit that you do ("time hit").

  In this embodiment, the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2002 are until the special drawing result drawn from the start of the special drawing is suggested by the reception of the game balls to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004. Since the suggestion of the special lottery result can not be started when the game ball is accepted in the second starting port 2004, the start of the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result drawn earlier is completed. Ru. The number of pending special lottery results is limited to four for each of the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004, and for more than that, the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening Even if the game ball is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is discarded without being put on hold. Thereby, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by the accumulation of the suspension.

Therefore, the second button decoration portion 411b can be lighted and decorated in a good state, and the in-operation button inner decoration member 432 and the door frame side effect display device 460 (the door frame side second effect through the transparent button lens 411) The display device 460A) can be visually recognized in a good state, and the player can enjoy the decoration, the light emission effect and the like sufficiently to suppress the decrease in the interest for the game.

  Further, since the inner cylindrical portion 416 d extends from the rear side of the frame unit 415 provided with the frame side lens 417, the second side of the frame side lens 417 and the operation button 410 is decorated on the rear side of the frame unit 415. The inner cylindrical portion 416d can completely separate the portion 411b from the portion 411b. On the other hand, at the end (rear end) near the operation button left outer decoration substrate 422 and the operation button right outer decoration substrate 423 in the inner cylindrical portion 416d, the light from the first LED 422a, 423a or the second LED 422b, 423b Since the rear end of the inner cylindrical portion 416d is positioned closer to the operation button left outer decoration substrate 422 and the operation button right outer decoration substrate 423 than the diffusion range, the operation button left outer decoration substrate 422 and the operation button right outside Even if a gap is formed between the front surface of the decorative substrate 423, the light from the first LED 422 a, 423 a illuminates the frame side lens 417, or the light from the second LED 422 b 423 illuminates the second button decoration 411 b There is nothing to do. Accordingly, the inner cylinder portion 416d can reliably block the light, and the pachinko machine 1 can be embodied which reliably exerts the above-described effects.

  Further, since the main body portion 413a and the inner extension portion 413f of the button base 413 extend from the rear side of the operation button 410 (the button lens 411), on the rear side of the operation button 410, the second button decoration portion 411b And the center side of the button lens 411 can be completely divided by the main body portion 413a and the inner extension portion 413f. On the other hand, at the end (rear end) on the side closer to the operation button left outer decoration substrate 422 and the operation button right outer decoration substrate 423 in the main body 413a, the operation button left outer decoration substrate 422 and the operation button right outer decoration substrate 423 Since the light from the first LED 422a, 423a does not go behind the rear end of the main body portion 413a, it completely blocks the entry of light to the center side of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410. Can. Therefore, the second button decoration part 411b can be lighted and decorated in a good state by the first LED 422a, 423a, and the decoration member 432 in the operation button and the door frame side effect display device 460 in the rear through the transparent button lens 411 The door frame side second effect display device 460A) can be viewed in a good state, and the player can enjoy the decoration, the light emission effect, and the like sufficiently to suppress a decrease in interest for the game.

  In addition, when viewed from the front, the second button decoration in front of the region outside the operation button inner decoration member 432 (door frame side second effect display device 460A) disposed behind the operation button 410 (button lens 411) Since the part 411b is positioned, the decorative member 432 (door frame side second) is arranged from the gap between the button lens 411 and the decorative member 432 in the operation button (door frame side second effect display device 460A). The second button decoration part 411b can make the member on the outside of the effect display device 460A) and the rear side (the back side) less visible and the appearance of the operation button 410 can be prevented from being deteriorated. Further, at this time, when the second button decoration portion 411b is lighted and decorated by the first LED 422a, 423a, the in-operation button decoration member 432 (the door frame side second effect for the brightness of the second button decoration portion 411b Since the outer side and the rear side of the display device 460A are relatively darkened, the members on the outer side and the rear side of the in-operation button decorative member 432 (the door frame side second effect display device 460A) can be made less visible. Therefore, the appearance of the operation button 410, the frame unit 415, the operation member in the operation button 432, the door frame side effect display device 460 (the door frame side second effect display device 460A), etc. can be further improved. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

  Further, since the outer peripheral shape of the operation button 410 is circular, a frame adjacent to the second button decoration portion 411b and the second button decoration portion 411b provided on the outer edge of the operation button 410 (button lens 411) The side lenses 417 extend in an arc shape. Therefore, by appropriately causing the first LEDs 422a and 423a and the second LEDs 422b and 423b to emit light, light emission effects such as light rounds the outer edge of the operation button 410, and light emission such that light spreads from the inside to the outside of the operation button 410 Since it is possible to show the player an effect or light emission effect in which light converges from the outside to the inside of the operation button 410, etc., it is possible to make the player less likely to get bored by various light emission effects. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game balls stored in the plate unit cover 326 of the plate unit 320 in the door frame 3 are driven into the game area 5a and the upper plate 321 used for the game is In addition to mounting, the presentation operation unit 400 (second presentation operation unit 400A) is removably attached to the front and lower side of the upper tray 321, and a mounting space of a predetermined size behind the presentation operation unit 400 (second presentation operation unit 400A) A remaining space of 326j is formed, and a portion corresponding to lower dish first region A1 in lower dish main body 325 is arranged on the left side of the remaining space of mounting space 326j, and the remaining space of mounting space 326j from that portion A portion corresponding to the lower tray second area A2 in the lower tray main body 325 is extended inside to attach the lower tray 322 capable of storing gaming balls. Therefore, the lower plate 322 looks small when viewed from the front, which makes the lower plate 322 inconspicuous and makes the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A) relatively easy to be noticeable. . Therefore, when the pachinko machine 1 is viewed from the front, the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) can be seen at a position where the upper tray and the lower tray were viewed side by side vertically in the conventional pachinko machine The pachinko machine 1 with high appeal that can make the player recognize that it is different from the conventional pachinko machine at first glance and can attract the player's attention strongly it can.

  Further, at the portion of the lower tray second region A2 in the lower tray main body 325 of the lower tray 322, it extends upward from the upper end of the main body standing wall portion 325b extending upward from the outer periphery, to the remaining space side of the mounting space 326j. The lower bowl cover 340, 340A for restricting the movement of the gaming ball prevents the gaming ball in the lower tray 322 from coming in contact with the rear side of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) The game balls supplied in the lower plate 322 and the game balls stored in the lower plate 322 contact or press the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A). Can be prevented. Therefore, the gaming ball does not abut on the rear side of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A), and the gaming ball does not damage the rear side of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being reduced by interrupting the game due to the breakage of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A), and the pachinko machine 1 is installed. It is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the gaming hall side.

  In addition, lower dish cover 340, 340A which restricts the movement of the gaming ball to the remaining space side of main body standing wall portion 325b and mounting space 326j in the lower dish second region A2 portion of lower dish main body 325 of lower dish 322. And the game ball can be prevented from invading (spilling) from the lower plate body 325 into the remaining space of the mounting space 326j. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling lost or feeling unpleasant by intruding into the remaining space of the mounting space 326j by the game ball being inserted into the remaining space of the mounting space 326j, and the player's interest in the game Can be suppressed.

  Also, since the lower plate cover 340, 340A covers the lower plate second region A2 region of the lower plate main body 325 in the lower plate 322, the gaming balls are supplied in the lower plate 322 and bounced in the lower plate 322. Even if it jumps up, it can be reliably prevented from invading the remaining space side of the mounting space 326j, and the above-described effects can be reliably achieved. Further, since the lower plate cover 340, 340A covers the lower plate second area A2 of the lower plate main body 325, the player is required to lower the lower plate first area A1 side (lower plate opening portion The lower plate cover 340, 340A can restrict entry of a fingertip or the like into the remaining space side of the mounting space 326j when the hand is put into the portion of the lower plate second region A2 from 326d), so that the finger tip And the like can be prevented from being injured by touching the lower surface of the upper plate 321 or the rear side of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A), and the player can be made to play in a safe state. Can.

  Furthermore, since there is a gap between the lower plate cover 340, 340A and the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A), the impact, pressure, etc. by the contact of the game ball to the lower plate cover 340, 340A Is not transmitted from the lower cover 340, 340A to the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A), and the breakage of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) is assured. It can be prevented.

  Further, since the lower disc ball opening hole 322a is provided in front of the lower ball ball supply port 323c at the lower dish second region A2 in the lower dish main body 325 of the lower dish 322, the lower ball ball extraction hole 322a is opened In this state, the gaming ball discharged from the lower ball feeding hole 323c can be made to enter the lower ball dropping hole 322a as it is and discharged downward (dollar box), and the gaming ball can be discharged from the lower ball main body 325 It can be made difficult to reach the front end side of the standing wall portion 325b. Even if the game ball jumps over the lower ball ball release hole 322a, as described above, the lower ball cover 340, 340A is provided, so that the game ball is of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) Since it is possible to prevent contact with the rear side, damage to the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) can be prevented, and interruption of the game is reduced to reduce the interest of the player in the game Can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the bottom wall 325a of the lower tray main body 325 near the front end of the lower tray 322 is higher toward the front, the gaming ball toward the front end side of the main body standing wall 325b of the lower tray main body 325 is inclined The bottom surface is to be climbed, and the movement speed of the game ball can be attenuated. Therefore, since the speed of the gaming ball in contact with the lower plate cover 340, 340A can be reduced, movement of the gaming ball to the remaining space side of the mounting space 326j is surely restricted by the lower plate cover 340, 340A. In addition to the above, it is possible to reduce the impact when the game balls abut on the lower plate covers 340 and 340A and the main body standing wall portion 325b and to suppress them from being broken.

  Also, since at least the lower cover 340, 340A is a separate member, when the lower cover 340, 340A is damaged, it can be easily repaired simply by replacing the lower cover 340, 340A. It is possible to reduce the increase in the burden on the gaming hall side where 1 is installed.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the center of the front side in the left-right direction bulges most forwardly below the gaming area 5a of the gaming board 5 in which the game ball is received by the general winning opening 2001 etc. While being provided on the plate unit cover 326 of the plate unit 320 which has been taken out, the effect operation unit 400 and the second effect operation unit 400A are detachably attached to the most forwardly bulging part, and the upper plate 321 is attached to the plate unit cover 326. And a lower plate 322, and the storage plate (upper plate 321 and lower plate 322) is provided with a storage bowl capable of storing game balls, and is viewed outward of the rendering operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) in front view A space at the rear of the mounting space 326j which is the rear of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) in the lower tray first region A1 located and the front view Because the lower tray second region A2 is positioned at the front panel, the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A) can be made more visible when viewed from the front, and the storage tray (upper tray 321) And the lower plate 322) can be made small and inconspicuous. Accordingly, in the conventional pachinko machine, since the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A) is visible in a portion where the upper plate and the lower plate are visible, a gaming machine different from the conventional pachinko machine to the player The pachinko machine 1 can be made to have a high appeal that can make it possible to recognize at a glance that it is, and can attract the player's attention strongly.

  Further, since the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) is attached to the center of the front surface of the plate unit cover 326 in the left-right direction, the portion of the surface of the plate unit cover 326 where the lower plate 322 is open is Although it becomes smaller, the first of the lower tray main body 325 having the lower tray second region A2 located in the space at the rear of the mounting space 326j which is the rear of the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A) in front view Since the expansion unit 325B, the second expansion unit 325C, and the lower plate cover 340, 340A are provided, the gaming ball can be stored in the range (lower plate second region A2) which can not be seen from the front of the lower plate 322. it can. Therefore, the storage amount of the game balls can be secured sufficiently against the appearance from the front, so the player can concentrate on the game without worrying about the remaining amount of the game balls in the lower plate 322. It is possible to make the game enjoyable and suppress the decline in interest.

  Furthermore, the lower tray main body 325 and the main body portion 325A having the lower tray first region A1 have the lower tray cover 340 and 340A having the lower tray second region A2 and the first extension portion 325B and the second extension Since the lower tray 322 is configured by attaching (in combination) the portion 325C, a plurality of lower tray covers 340, 340A, a first extension portion 325B, a second extension portion 325C, etc. of different sizes are prepared in advance. The lower plate cover 340, 340A or the first extension portion 325B and the second extension portion 325C have a size corresponding to the concept of the pachinko machine 1 and the size of the mounting space 326j in the tray unit cover 326, etc. The volume of the dish 322 can be optimized. Further, as described above, by rearranging (changing) the lower cover 340, 340A, the first extension portion 325B, and the second extension portion 325C, it is possible to cope with the size of the rear portion of the mounting space 326j. Since the size of the space at the rear depends on the amount of backward projection of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A), various effect operation units 400 (second one) having different amounts of backward projection The lower plate 322 can be made compatible with the rendering operation unit 400A), and the versatility of the pachinko machine 1 can be enhanced.

  Further, since the lower plate 322 is provided with the bottom wall portion 325a and the main body standing wall portion 325b rising from the outer peripheral end of the bottom wall portion 325a, the lower plate 322 becomes a container shape recessed downward, Can be stored reliably. Further, since the lower plate cover 340, 340A has the cover upright wall 340a rising from the upper end of the main body upright wall 325b of the lower plate main body 325, the lower plate cover 340, 340A of various shapes is prepared in advance. In addition, it is made to correspond to various forms by combining (attaching) the lower plate covers 340 and 340A according to the concept of the pachinko machine 1 and the size (shape) of the space at the rear of the mounting space 326j. It is possible to achieve the same function and effect as described above.

  Further, in the lower plate 322 composed of the lower plate main body 325 and the lower plate covers 340 and 340A, the lower plate covers 340 and 340A are combined (attached) to the upper end of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower plate main body 325. Thus, since the portion of the lower plate 322 on which the gaming balls are placed is the lower plate main body 325, the portion of the lower plate main body 325 and the lower plate covers 340 and 340A A boundary (seam, parting line PL) is never located. Therefore, since the weight of the stored gaming balls is received only by the lower tray main body 325, the force is such that the lower tray covers 340 and 340A are pulled away from the lower tray main body 325 even if many gaming balls are stored. It does not act and can prevent the lower cover 340, 340A from being removed from the lower main body 325.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, an upper plate capable of storing game balls below and in front of the game area 5a of the game board 5 in which a game is performed to receive a game ball at the general winning opening 2001 etc. The lower bowl ball supply port 323c and the lower bowl ball opening hole 322a in the lower plate 322 are provided by the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) provided with the lower plate 322 and the lower plate 322 and arranged at the center in the left-right direction. And the lower plate 322 is difficult to see from the front (player) (it is difficult to see), so the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be made clear and the appearance can be improved, and the player's interest The pachinko machine 1 can have a high appeal that can be strongly attracted. In addition, since it is difficult to visually recognize the game ball going from the lower ball supply opening 323c to the lower ball removal hole 322a by the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A), the player can play the game in the lower plate 322 It is possible to make it difficult to notice the flow of balls and prevent distraction, and it is possible to suppress a drop in interest for the game.

  Further, the bottom plate ball supply port 323c and the bottom plate in the bottom plate 322 for guiding the gaming ball from the bottom plate ball supply port 323c to the lower plate ball extraction hole 322a by the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A) It is assumed that the lower countersink hole 322a is kept open since it is difficult to visually recognize the game ball being guided by the guiding means such as the ball guiding portion 322c and the buffer portion 322d and the part between the ball opening 322a and the like. The gaming ball supplied from the lower ball supply opening 323c to the lower plate 322 is guided by the guiding means and smoothly (immediately) discharged downward from the lower ball removal hole 322a, and the player can receive the game ball. An illusion can be made that the game balls are discharged to the lower side (dollar box) of the lower plate 322 without passing through the lower plate 322. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel the inconvenience of the game ball passing through the lower plate 322, and to allow the player to concentrate on the game and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, since half or more of the lower plate 322 including the lower plate ball supply port 323c, the lower plate ball removing hole 322a, and the like are difficult to visually recognize from the front by the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A) The lower counter ball supply port 323c, the lower counter ball removal hole 322a, and the like are located behind the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A). That is, since half or more of the lower tray 322 is made to turn to the rear of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A), the actual lower tray is smaller than the size of the lower tray 322 seen from the front. Since the size (capacity) of 322 is large, it is possible to secure a sufficient storage amount of gaming balls in the lower plate 322 as compared to the appearance.

  Further, in the state where the lower disc ball extraction hole 322a is open, the gaming ball released from the lower disc ball supply port 323c into the lower board 322 can be Because it can be smoothly guided to the lower countersink hole 322a by the guide means such as the portion between the hole 322a and the ball guiding portion 322c and the buffer portion 322d and discharged to the lower side (dollar box) of the lower plate 322. The game balls can be prevented from circulating around the lower plate 322, and the game balls circulating in the lower plate 322 can be reliably made difficult to visually identify from the front (player). Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the flow of the game balls in the lower tray 322, and it is possible to prevent the player from being distracted and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  Further, when the lower ball ball extraction hole 322a is kept open, the ball guide portion 322c etc. immediately sends the game ball supplied from the lower ball ball supply port 323c to the lower plate 322 without causing the player to notice it. Since it is possible to discharge the lower balls from the lower ball ball removal holes 322a downward, it is possible for the player to illusion that the game balls are discharged to the lower side (dollar box) of the lower plate 322 without passing through the lower plates 322. Can. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel the inconvenience of the game ball passing through the lower plate 322, and to allow the player to concentrate on the game and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) makes it difficult to visually recognize from the front half or more of the storage area (storage area) of the gaming ball in plan view of the lower tray 322. The actual size of the lower tray 322 is more than twice the size of the visible one with respect to the size of 322. Therefore, as with the lower tray of the conventional pachinko machine, it is possible to secure a sufficient storage amount of gaming balls.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the door frame 3 bulging forward in the front view below the gaming area 5a of the gaming board 5 in which the game ball is received by the general winning opening 2001 etc. Stage operation unit attachment for mounting a large stage operation unit 400 (second stage operation unit 400A) having the same height as the entire height of the plate unit cover 326 at the center in the left-right direction of the front of the plate unit cover 326 in the plate unit 320 While having a portion 326a, it is concaved so as to turn to the rear lower the plate front lower decorative portion 326c below the approximate center in the vertical direction on the left and right sides of the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a on the front surface of the plate unit cover 326 Because it has a shape, the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A attached to the rendering operation unit attachment portion 326a But it can be able to show as to protrude greatly forward to stand out staging operation unit 400 (second staging operation unit 400A). Therefore, since the large scale rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) appears to be emphasized at the position where the upper plate and the lower plate are vertically aligned in the conventional pachinko machine, the player can see At first glance, it can be recognized that it is different from the conventional pachinko machine, and the pachinko machine 1 can have high appeal. Then, the lower plate 322 is recessed rearward from the lower front decoration portion 326c recessed rearward on the left and right outside of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) on the front surface of the plate unit cover 326. A part of the game is moved to the rear of the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A), and a sufficient storage amount (volume of the lower plate 322) of gaming balls in the lower plate 322 can be secured. It is not necessary to play while paying attention to the lower plate 322 being full with the game balls, and it is possible to concentrate the player on the game, to enjoy the game and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since a part of the lower plate 322 is wound to the rear of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A), when the player puts his hand in the lower plate 322 from the front, the fingertips It is possible to make it difficult to touch the rear wall 322 (the front of the plate unit base 323), the lower plate cover 340, and the like. In this way, it is possible to make it possible for the player to recognize that the storage amount of gaming balls is sufficiently secured even by touch, and in the state where gaming balls are stored in the lower tray 322, the inside of the lower tray 322 Since it is possible to recognize that many game balls are stored, it is possible to give a player a sense of satisfaction, and to enjoy the game and to suppress the decrease in interest. In addition, since the finger of the hand put in the lower plate 322 is hard to touch the back wall of the lower plate 322, the lower plate cover 340, etc., it gives the player the same feeling as the lower plate in the conventional pachinko machine. Therefore, the player who is used to the conventional pachinko machine can be prevented from giving a sense of incongruity, and the player can be relieved and a decrease in interest for the game can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the lower plate 322 is formed to be wider toward the back side (backward), the storage amount of the game balls can be sufficiently secured even if the front side is small. In other words, since the portion on the front end side of the lower plate 322 is made smaller, the lower plate 322 is less noticeable on the front surface of the plate unit cover 326 (lower plate front lower decoration portion 326c) where the lower plate 322 is opened. Thus, the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) can be made relatively conspicuous. Therefore, it is possible to provide the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) while sufficiently securing the storage amount of the gaming balls in the lower plate 322, and it is possible to enhance the appeal of the player and It can be entertained to suppress the decline in interest.

  In addition, the player covers the lower plate 322 because the lower plate cover 340 covers the side and the upper part of the part of the lower plate 322 which is located behind the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A). When putting a hand, it is possible to prevent a finger tip or the like from touching the inner surface of the dish unit cover 326 or the rear surface of the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) etc. It can be played in a safe state. In addition, the lower plate cover 340 can prevent the game ball from intruding (spinning) from the lower plate 322 into the plate unit cover 326.

  Furthermore, since the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) is disposed at the center of the front of the plate unit cover 326 in the left-right direction, the rendering operation unit 400 (the second rendering operation unit 400A) The pachinko machine 1 can have a high appeal that can be made more noticeable and can strongly attract the player's attention, and the decoration by the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A) can be easily viewed. Then, it is possible to enjoy the decoration and the effect of the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A) to suppress the decrease in the player's interest.

It is possible to show the player the decoration by the rear member. On the other hand, the rear side of the rear member is brightened by the light of the light emitting portion such as an LED (or the space between the front and rear members and the rear side of the rear member are simultaneously brightened by the light of the light emitting portion such as LED And the requirements for the respective variable light transmitting means in the front member and the rear member are satisfied, and the members on the rear side of the rear member (for example, a display device, a decorative body such as a character) are satisfied through the front member and the rear member. Can be shown to the player. Thus, by appropriately selecting the site to be brightened by the light of the light emitting portion, the range that can be viewed can be changed in multiple steps, and a player can enjoy various decorations.

  In the above example, since the variable light transmitting means is like a magic mirror, it looks like a mirror in the state where the rear side is darkened. A glittering decoration can be shown to the player.

  Further, although the variable light transmitting means has been described as a magic mirror in the above-mentioned specific example, the same operation and effect can be obtained even when the variable light transmitting means is a liquid crystal film or the like. In addition, when a liquid crystal film or the like is used as the variable light transmitting means, light can be transmitted even in an opaque state (it has translucency). If the rear side of the member can be made bright (or decorated to emit light) by the light of the light emitting unit such as an LED, it is possible to show the player more various effects such as the light emission effect and the decoration effect. .

In other words, “screen data for one screen (one frame)” is a built-in VRAM for drawing data for one screen (one frame) displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460. It is the data to generate above.

  In addition, the sound source built-in VDP 1512a outputs drawing data for one screen (one frame) from the channel CH1 to the game board side effect display device 1600, and also displays image data for the door frame side effect display device 460 from the channel CH2. Output to the door frame side effect display device 460 through the peripheral control output circuit, the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, the peripheral door relay terminal board 882, and the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3. After (transmission), a V-blank signal is transmitted to the peripheral control MPU 1511a to indicate that the screen data from the peripheral control MPU 1511a can be received. In this embodiment, since the frame frequency (the number of screen updates per second) of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is set to approximately 30 fps, a V blank signal is output. The interval is approximately 33.3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). The peripheral control MPU 1511a is configured to execute peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which will be described later, in response to the V blank signal being input. Here, the interval at which the V blank signal is output changes somewhat depending on the liquid crystal size of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460. In addition, even in the manufacturing lot of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the sound source built-in VDP 1512a are mounted, the interval at which the V blank signal is output may change somewhat.

  The sound source built-in VDP 1512a adopts a frame buffer method. In this "frame buffer method", drawing data of one screen (one frame) to be drawn on the screens of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is held in a frame buffer (built-in VRAM) The drawing data of one screen (one frame) held in the frame buffer (built-in VRAM) is output to the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460.

  Also, when the sound command data described above is input from peripheral control MPU 1511a based on a command from main control board 1310, sound source built-in VDP 1512a stores the music stored in liquid crystal and sound control ROM 1512b as shown in FIG. And sound data such as sound effects are extracted and the built-in sound source is controlled to incorporate sound data such as music and sound effects into the track according to the track number specified in the sound command data, and used according to the output channel number The output channel is set, the music and sound effects flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 are serialized and output as audio data to the audio data transmission IC 1512 c.

Note that the sound command data also includes sub-volume values for adjusting the volume of the track into which the sound data is to be incorporated, and the plurality of tracks in the built-in sound source of the built-in sound source VDP 1512a include effects such as music and sound effects. In addition to the sound data and the sub-volume value to adjust the volume, adjust the sound data of the notification sound and its volume to notify the store clerk etc. of the occurrence of the trouble of the pachinko machine 1 or the cheating on the pachinko machine 1 Subvolume values are incorporated. Specifically, for the effect sound, the substrate volume adjusted by rotating the knob portion of the volume adjustment volume 1510a described above is set as the sub volume value, and for the notification sound, the volume adjustment is performed. The maximum volume is set as the sub volume value without depending on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob portion of the volume 1510a.
The sub-volume value of the effect sound can be shifted to a setting mode to be described later and adjusted by operating the dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400.

  The sound designation data also includes a master volume value for adjusting the volume of the channel to be output, and a plurality of output channels in the built-in sound source of the built-in sound source VDP 1512a include a plurality of output channels in the built-in sound source Of the tracks, the sound data of the effect sound incorporated into the used track and the sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the effect sound incorporated into the track used are synthesized, and the volume of this synthesized effect sound is In practice, the master volume value that is the volume flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 is amplified, and the amplified effect sound is serialized and output as audio data to the audio data transmission IC 1512 c.

  In the present embodiment, the master volume value is set to a fixed value, and when the volume of the synthesized effect sound is the maximum volume, the volume flowing through the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 is amplified by amplifying to the master volume value. Is set to be the maximum allowable volume. Specifically, for the effect sound, as a sub volume value for adjusting the volume of the effect sound incorporated into the used track and the sound data of the effect incorporated into the used track among a plurality of tracks The knob portion of the set volume adjusting volume 1510a is rotated to adjust the adjusted substrate volume, and the volume of the synthesized effect sound is actually the volume flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. The amplified effect sound is amplified and serialized and output as audio data to the audio data transmission IC 1512 c. For the notification sound, sound data of the notification sound incorporated in the track to be used and Volume control set as a sub volume value to adjust the volume of the notification sound incorporated in the track The volume of the synthesized notification sound is actually the volume flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 by combining the maximum volume and the maximum volume without depending on the volume adjustment based on the rotation operation of the knob portion of the volume 1510a. It amplifies up to a master volume value, serializes this amplified alerting sound, and outputs it as audio data to an audio data transmission IC 1512c.

  Here, when the presentation sound is flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the control of the notification sound is simplified to notify the store clerk or the like of the occurrence of the malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or the cheating on the pachinko machine 1 To explain, first, the sub-volume value of the track into which the effect sound is incorporated is forcibly set to mute, and the sound data of the track into which the effect sound is incorporated, the sub-volume value set to the mute, and the notification sound The sound data of the track into which the sound is incorporated and the sub-volume value at which the volume of the notification sound is set to the maximum volume are synthesized, and the volume of the synthesized effect sound and the volume of the notification sound are actually the speaker 921 And amplified to the master volume value that is the volume flowing from the upper speaker 573, and the amplified effect sound and the notification sound are serialized to And it outputs the audio data transmitted IC1512c as data.

  That is, in actuality, only the notification sound of the maximum volume flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. At this time, since the effect sound is muffled, although it does not flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the effect sound proceeds in accordance with the above-described sound generation schedule data. In this embodiment, the notification sound is made to flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 for a predetermined period (for example, 90 seconds), and after this predetermined period, for sound generation forcibly set to mute so far The volume of the effect sound proceeding according to the schedule data is again set as the sub volume value by adjusting the substrate volume adjusted by turning the knob portion of the volume adjustment volume 1510 a (at this time, the dial operation of the effect operation unit 400 When the mode is shifted to the setting mode and adjusted by operating the section 401 or the pressing operation section 405, the sub volume value of the adjusted effect sound is set), and the signal flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. It has become.

  Thus, when the notification sound flows to notify the store clerk or the like in the hall of the occurrence of a malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or the fraudulent action against the pachinko machine 1 when the presentation sound is flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 Although the volume of the sound is muffled and the notification sound flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, this muffled effect sound is progressing according to the sound generation schedule data, so the notification sound has passed for a predetermined period. When no sound flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the effect sound does not start to flow again from the point where the notification sound starts to flow, but proceeds according to the sound generation schedule data until the predetermined time elapses after the notification sound starts to flow. It starts to flow again from.

7-4-2 b. Liquid Crystal and Sound Control ROM]
As shown in FIG. 128, the liquid crystal and sound control ROM 1512 b draws game board side character data for drawing in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the display area of the door frame side effect display device 460. While upper character character data is stored in advance, various sound data such as music, sound effects, notification sounds, and notification sounds are also stored in advance.

7-4-2 c. Audio data transmission IC]
The audio data transmission IC 1512 c is a peripheral control output circuit (not shown) and a frame peripheral relay as a serial data of a difference system in which the right audio data is made a plus signal and a minus signal when serialized audio data is input from the VDP 1512 a with built-in sound source. A peripheral control output circuit (not shown) as differential serial data that transmits left audio data as a plus signal and a minus signal while transmitting to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 via the terminal plate 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882. , Frame peripheral relay terminal board 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal board 882 to the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate 194. Thus, music, sound effects and the like adapted to various effects are reproduced in stereo from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573.

  Note that the audio data transmission IC 1512c outputs audio data as serial data of the difference system between the left and right, respectively, between the substrates ranging from the peripheral control substrate 1510 to the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate 194, for example, When combining the noise component on the positive signal and the noise component on the negative signal by the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate 194 into one left audio data, even if the negative signal is affected by noise, Since noise components are canceled by canceling each other, noise countermeasures can be taken.

7-4-2 d. Transmitter IC for door frame side effect]
As shown in FIG. 128, drawing data output from the channel CH2 of the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source is input to the door-frame-side effect transmitter IC 1512d. As described above, the channel CH2 uses a parallel interface. The drawing data is composed of three video signals of a red video signal, a green video signal and a blue video signal, and three synchronization signals of a horizontal synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal and a clock signal, and the red video signal The green video signal and the blue video signal are each composed of 8 bits, for a total of 24 bits. In the present embodiment, since the red video signal, the green video signal, and the blue video signal that can be input to the door-frame-side effect transmitter IC 1512 d are 6 bits each, for a total of 18 bits, the upper 6 bits in each video signal are door frames It is input to the transmitter IC 1512 d for side effect. Since the lower 2 bits are extremely weak color information which is difficult to distinguish for human eyes, the lower 2 bits including weak color information are invalidated although they are outputted from the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source.

  Three synchronization signals, a red video signal, a green video signal, and a blue video signal, which are drawing data output from the channel CH2 of the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source, and three synchronization signals, a horizontal synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal, and a clock signal Is input to the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d receives three video signals of a red video signal, a green video signal, and a blue video signal, a horizontal synchronization signal, and a vertical synchronization. Three synchronization signals, signals and clock signals, are serialized into a differential serial signal (serial data) called "V-by-One (registered trademark)" of Zine Electronics Co., Ltd. and only one differential pair cable These various signals are sent from the peripheral control board 1510 around the frame. Terminal plate 868, near the door relay terminal plate 882, and transmitted to effect display driving board 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3.

  As described above, the drawing data output from the channel CH1 of the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source is output from the peripheral control board 1510 to the game board side effect display device 1600, so the path from the channel CH1 to the game board side effect display device 1600 The drawing data output from channel CH2 of VDP 1512a with built-in sound source is from peripheral control board 1510 to frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, peripheral door relay terminal board 882, and door although the length of wiring required for (first path) is short. Since it is output (sent) to the door frame side effect display device 460 via the effect display drive substrate 4450 housed in the plate unit 320 of the frame 3, a path from the channel CH2 to the door frame side effect display device 460 2) because the length of the wiring required for 2) is much longer than the length of the wiring required for the 1 The effect of the noise is extremely susceptible.

Specifically, since the door frame 3 is pivotally supported openably and closably with respect to the main body frame 4 shown in FIG. 1, the opposite of the locking unit 700 shown in FIG. For example, from the peripheral control board 1510 provided on the game board 5 mounted on the main body frame 4 to the closing side which is the side, the effect display drive board 4450 etc. housed in the pan unit 320 provided on the door frame 3 It is necessary to pass through various wirings which electrically connect the various substrates provided and the various substrates provided on the door frame 3 side.

A full tank branching unit 770 is disposed which can branch and guide the game balls dispensed to the lower plate 322 when the tank is full.
Further, below the main body frame 4, a payout unit 800 shown in FIG. 5, which is a unitized power source board 931 and the like shown in FIG. 6 to which power is supplied from the pachinko island facility, is disposed. As described above, the various wirings for electrically connecting the various substrates provided on the main body frame 4 and the various substrates provided on the door frame 3 are drawn near the dispensing device 830, the full branch unit 770, the power supply substrate 931 and the like. In addition to the noise caused by driving the payout motor 834 provided in the payout device 830, the power supply line supplied from the pachinko island facility where the noise due to electrostatic discharge by the game ball and the pachinko machine 1 are installed It is in the environment which receives the noise etc. which invaded.

  Therefore, for channel CH2 in which the length of the wiring for sending drawing data is extremely long compared to channel CH1, the transmitter IC 1512d for door frame side effect provided in peripheral control board 1510 By adopting the differential communication of V-by-One (registered trademark), the system is less susceptible to noise.

The twisted pair cable is a cable in which two wires are twisted together and is also called a twisted pair wire.

  Here, the case where a parallel line is adopted as a differential one pair cable electrically connecting between the transmitter and the receiver will be briefly described. In contrast to the channel CH2 of the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source in which the wiring length for sending drawing data becomes extremely long compared to the channel CH1 of the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source Even if a differential-type communication system called "V-by-One (registered trademark)" of the corporation is adopted to make it hard to be affected by noise, the configuration by such hardware alone is due to electrostatic discharge of the game ball When serial data in a parallel line is affected by noise, noise entering a power supply line supplied from a pachinko machine with pachinko machine 1 installed, effect display stored in the tray unit 320 of the door frame 3 For the door frame side effect provided in the drive substrate 4450 Since the noise is not canceled (removed) when received by Shiba ICSDIC0, it will be received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 with the serial data affected, and output from channel CH2 of VDP1512a with built-in sound source Image data is received from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 as a disordered one different from the normal one, and in the display area of the door frame side effect display device 460, an image like a so-called sandstorm is displayed to indicate what image There is a problem that it can not be recognized at all.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the door frame side provided in the peripheral control board 1510 with respect to the channel CH2 of the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source that the wiring length for sending drawing data becomes extremely long compared to the channel CH1 with VDP 1512a with built-in sound source In addition to the configuration using such hardware, while adopting a differential system communication called “V-by-One (registered trademark)” of Sine Electronics Co., Ltd. in the transmitter IC 1512 d for effect, the system is less susceptible to noise. The transmitter and receiver are electrically connected to each other through a twisted pair cable capable of canceling (eliminating) the noise on the receiving side even if differential serial data is affected by the noise that has entered the wiring. It was adopted as a differential 1 pair cable. As a result, even if serial data is affected in the twisted pair cable by noise due to electrostatic discharge of the game ball, noise entering the power supply line supplied from the pachinko island facility where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, etc., the door frame The noise is canceled (removed) when received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of 3 and thus the channel of the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source The drawing data output from CH2 is reliably received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3, and is output to the door frame side effect display device 460 Liquid crystal display control unit 151 in door frame side effect display device 460. Image source built VDP1512a has generated a can be reliably displayed. By canceling (removing) the noise, it is possible to prevent the door frame side effect display device 460 from displaying an image that can not be recognized at all what the image is like sandstorm. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's willingness to play.

Therefore, the video transmission wiring patterns described above are formed on the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal board 882 apart from the power supply wiring pattern and the various signal wiring patterns by a predetermined dimension. A plurality of relay terminal boards such as a frame peripheral relay terminal board 868 and a peripheral door relay terminal board 882 are straddled along the route from the transmitter to the receiver. Between the input and output of the wiring pattern, a part of the signal transmitting the serial data according to the differential system transmitted by the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d is reflected to become noise, or the output level of the signal decreases. Will occur. Therefore, in the present embodiment, impedance matching is performed on the video transmission wiring patterns formed on the plurality of relay terminal boards.

7-4-2 e. Forced switching circuit, differential circuit]
Signals output from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d are output to the forced switching circuit 1512 f, the peripheral control output circuit (not shown), the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, the peripheral door relay terminal board 882, and the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3. It is transmitted to the effect display drive board 4450 to be stored. In this forced switching circuit 1512f, in addition to the signal output from the door frame side rendering transmitter IC 1512d, LOCKN signal output request data, which is serial data output from the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 Are differentially input into the plus signal and the minus signal in the differential circuit 1512e. The differential circuit 1512e serializes the LOCKN signal output request data into a differential serial signal (serial data). The LOCKN signal output request data is a period during which the game board side effect display device 1600 displays a start screen when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, or becomes a customer wait state for a demonstration by the game board side effect display device 1600. During the period, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided on the peripheral control board 1510 and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 to be described later provided on the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3 , And is transmitted as a request for confirming the operation of the door-frame-side effect display device 460 in order to confirm whether or not there is a problem in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. When two signals differentiated into a plus signal and a minus signal are input in the differentiation circuit 1512 e, the forcible switching circuit 1512 f performs circuit connection so as to transmit these two signals, while the difference is generated. When two signals differentiated into plus signal and minus signal are not input in the inverter circuit 1512e, the circuit configuration is made such that the signal output from the door frame side rendering transmitter IC 1512d is transmitted. It is done. Thus, when two signals differentiated into a plus signal and a minus signal are input in the differential circuit 1512 e, the two signals are connected in order to transmit the two signals, and thus the two signals are While transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, the peripheral door relay terminal board 882, and the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3, in the differential circuit 1512e When two signals differentiated into plus signal and minus signal are not input, the door frame side effect transmitter is connected to transmit the signal output from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d A signal output from the IC 1512 d is transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, peripheral door relay terminal board 8. 2, and transmitted to the effect display driving board 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3. The peripheral control MPU 1511a performs a demonstration with the game board side effect display device 1600 in a period during which the game board side effect display device 1600 displays the start screen when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, or in waiting for customers. During the period, the LOCKN signal output request data is transmitted to the effect display drive board 4450 (in fact, the differentiation circuit 1512e provided in the peripheral control board 1510) housed in the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3.

  The effect display drive board 4450 housed in the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3 receives various serial signals (serial data) from the peripheral control board 1510 by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 described later, and various serialized A liquid crystal module circuit 4450 V that restores a signal to a parallel signal and outputs the signal to the door frame side effect display device 460 is mainly configured.

  The door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 receives the drawing data from the sound source built-in VDP 1512a, and if it is determined that the received drawing data is abnormal data, the LOCKN signal described later is transmitted to the peripheral door relay terminal board 882. Then, the frame is output to the peripheral control board 1510 via the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868. The LOCKN signal is input to the peripheral control MPU 1511 a of the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 via the peripheral control input circuit (not shown) of the peripheral control board 1510. When a predetermined condition is satisfied based on the LOCKN signal input, the peripheral control MPU 1511a controls the sound source built-in VDP 1512a to generate an image for notifying that effect and outputs the image to the game board side effect display device 1600 The information is displayed and notified on the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 according to the above.

  When the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 determines that the two received signals are LOCKN signal output request data, the LOCKN signal described later is transmitted to the peripheral door relay terminal board 882 and the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868. It is output to the peripheral control board 1510 via The LOCKN signal is input to the peripheral control MPU 1511 a of the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 via the peripheral control input circuit (not shown) of the peripheral control board 1510. As a result, the peripheral control MPU 1511a does not have a problem with the connection between the transmitter and the receiver when the LOCKN signal is input as a response signal to the transmission of the LOCKN signal output request data. It can be determined that no problem has occurred in the effect display drive substrate 4450 housed in the 320, but a failure has occurred in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver when the LOCKN signal is not input. It is determined that a malfunction has occurred in the effect display drive substrate 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3, and a notification image for notifying that effect (for example, “a malfunction occurs in the upper dish liquid crystal display Please call the store clerk. "), The sound source built-in VDP1512a is controlled by the game board side While outputting to the display device 1600, an alarm sound (for example, "a problem has occurred in the upper liquid crystal display device") to that effect is output to the audio data transmission IC 1512c by controlling the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. An announcement sound flows from the speaker provided in the door frame 3 by this.

9-1. Main control filter circuit]
As shown in FIG. 131, the main control filter circuit 1310 h mainly includes a main control three-terminal filter MIC0. The main control three-terminal filter MIC0 is a T-type filter circuit and is excellent in attenuation characteristics magnetically shielded by ferrite. The main control three-terminal filter MIC0 has its first terminal applied with +5 V created by the +5 V creation circuit 1310g, its second terminal grounded to ground (GND), and its noise component removed from its third terminal +5 V is output. The +5 V applied to the first terminal is electrically connected at one end to the ground (GND) and the other end of the capacitor MC0 so that the ripple (AC component folded in voltage) is first removed. Are smoothed out.

  The +5 V output from the third terminal is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC1 and the electrolytic capacitor MC2 (in the present embodiment, electrostatic capacity: 470 microfarads (μF)) whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND). The ripple is further removed and smoothed by being connected to. The smoothed +5 V is applied to the power supply terminal of the main control system reset MIC1, the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control crystal oscillator MX0, and the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a. It should be noted that when the power supply from the pachinko facility is cut off due to a power failure or momentary interruption at the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, the electric charge in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 becomes a power failure or an instantaneous stop After generation, it is applied as +5 V for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms).

  The VDD terminal of the main control MPU 1310a is electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the capacitor MC3 grounded, and the +5 V applied to the VDD terminal is smoothed by further removing the ripple. The VSS terminal which is a ground terminal of the main control MPU 1310a is grounded to the ground (GND).

  Further, the VDD terminal of the main control MPU 1310a is electrically connected to the anode terminal of the diode MD0 in addition to being electrically connected to the capacitor MC3. A cathode terminal of the diode MD0 is electrically connected to a VBB terminal which is a power supply terminal of a RAM (main control built-in RAM) built in the main control MPU 1310a, and a capacitor MC4 whose one end is grounded with the ground (GND) It is electrically connected to the other end of the The VBB terminal of the main control built-in RAM is electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the diode MD0 and the other end of the capacitor MC4, and via the resistor MR0, the plus of the capacitor BC0 of the power supply substrate 931 shown in FIG. It is electrically connected to the terminal. That is, +5 V smoothed by removing noise components by the main control filter circuit 1310h is applied to the VDD terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, and the VBB terminal of the main control built-in RAM and the capacitor BC0 via the diode MD0.

9-2. Main control system reset]
As shown in FIG. 131, +5 V smoothed by removing noise components by the main control filter circuit 1310 h is applied to the power supply terminal of the main control system reset MIC 1. The main control system reset MIC1 resets the main control MPU 1310a and the main control output circuit 1310ca with a reset function, and has a built-in delay circuit. The delay capacitance terminal of the main control system reset MIC1 is electrically connected to ground (GND) and the other end of the capacitor MC5 connected to ground, and the delay time by the delay circuit is set by the capacitance of the capacitor MC5 It can be done. Specifically, when +5 V input to the power supply terminal reaches a threshold (eg, 4.25 V), the main control system reset MIC1 outputs a system reset signal from the output terminal after the delay time has elapsed.

  The output terminal of the main control system reset MIC1 is electrically connected to the SRST terminal, which is a reset terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, and the reset terminal of the main control output circuit 1310ca with a reset function. The output terminal is an open collector output type, and one end is electrically connected to the other end of the pull-up resistor MR1 electrically connected to the +5 V power supply line, and one end is a capacitor connected to ground (GND) It is electrically connected to the other end of MC6. Ripple is removed and smoothed by the capacitor MC6. When the voltage input to the power supply terminal is higher than the threshold, the output terminal is pulled up to +5 V by the pull-up resistor MR1 and the logic becomes HI. This logic corresponds to the SRST terminal of the main control MPU 1310a and the main control output with reset function The logic becomes LOW when the voltage input to the power supply terminal is smaller than the threshold while being input to the reset terminal of the circuit 1310ca, and this logic corresponds to the SRST terminal of the main control MPU 1310a and the main control output circuit 1310ca with reset function. Respectively input to the reset terminal. Since the SRST terminal of the main control MPU 1310a and the reset terminal of the main control output circuit 1310ca with reset function are negative logic inputs, when the voltage input to the power supply terminal becomes smaller than the threshold, the main control MPU 1310a and the reset function The main control output circuit 1310 ca is reset. The power supply terminal is electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the capacitor MC7 whose one end is grounded, and +5 V input to the power supply terminal is smoothed by removing the ripple. The ground terminal is grounded to ground (GND), and the NC terminal is not electrically connected to the outside.

9-3. Main control crystal oscillator]
As shown in FIG. 131, +5 V smoothed by removing noise components by the main control filter circuit 1310 h is applied to the VDD terminal which is a power supply terminal of the main control crystal oscillator MX0. The VDD terminal is electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the capacitor MC8 whose one end is grounded, and +5 V input to the VDD terminal is smoothed by further removing ripples. In addition to the VDD terminal, the smoothed +5 V is also applied to the A terminal, the B terminal, the C terminal, and the ST terminal which are output frequency selection terminals. The main control crystal oscillator MX0 outputs a 24 MHz clock signal from the F terminal which is an output terminal by applying +5 V to the A terminal, B terminal, C terminal and ST terminal respectively.

The GND terminal, which is the ground terminal of the main control crystal oscillator MX0, is grounded to the ground (GND), and the D terminal for outputting the divided frequency of the F terminal of the main control crystal oscillator MX0 is not electrically connected to the outside It is in the state.

9-4. Main control input circuit]
The main control input circuit 1310b is detected from the general winning opening sensors 4020 and 4020, the first starting opening sensor 4002, the second starting opening sensor 4004, the magnetic detection sensor 4024, the count sensor 4005, and the gate sensor 4003 shown in FIG. In addition to the signals, it is a circuit to which an operation signal (RAM clear signal) or the like from the operation switch 954 provided on the payout control substrate 951 shown in FIG. 124 is input. The circuit configuration to which the detection signal from each switch is input is the same, so here, the circuit to which the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the operation switch 954 is input will be described.

[9-4-1. Circuit to which operation signal (RAM clear signal) from operation switch is input]
First, as described above, the operation switch 954 is a RAM (dispense control built-in RAM) built in the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control substrate 951 within a predetermined period from the time of power on, and main control of the main control substrate 1310 It is operated when clearing the RAM (main control built-in RAM) built in the MPU 1310a, or when it is notified of an error after the power is turned on, it is operated to cancel the error, A function to clear the RAM within a predetermined period from the time of power on and an error release after power on (after a period of playing the function as a RAM clear, ie after a predetermined period from the time of power on) And the ability to Since the main control board 1310 does not have the function of canceling the error that the payout control board 951 has, when the operation signal from the operation switch 954 is input within a predetermined period from when the power is turned on, the main control The main control built-in RAM is cleared, judging as a RAM clear signal for clearing the built-in RAM.

  When the operation switch 954 is not operated, an operation signal whose logic is LOW is input to the main control board 1310 from the payout control board 951, while when the operation switch 954 is operated, the logic from the payout control board 951 is input. The operation signal whose H has become HI is input from the payout control board 951 (a detailed description of this point will be described later).

  As shown in FIG. 131, the transmission line for transmitting the operation signal from the operation switch 954 provided on the payout control substrate 951 within a predetermined period from when the power is turned on is a pull-up whose one end is electrically connected to the +12 V power supply line It is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR2 and to the base terminal of the transistor MTR0 via the resistor MR3. The base terminal of the transistor MTR0 is electrically connected to the resistor MR3, and also electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the resistor MR4 which is grounded. The emitter terminal of the transistor MTR0 is grounded to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal of the transistor MTR0 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR5 whose one end is electrically connected to the +5 V power supply line and is a non-inverting buffer ICMIC 10 (non-inverted buffer ICMIC 10 includes eight non-inverted buffer circuits, and shapes and outputs without inverting the logic of the signal waveform input to one of them (MIC 10 A).) Main control It is electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 of the input port PA of the MPU 1310a.

  The circuit that outputs the operation signal from the operation switch 954 in the payout control board 951 is configured as an open collector output type in which the emitter terminal is grounded to the ground (GND), and transmission that transmits the operation signal from the operation switch 954 The line is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor MR2. In the main control board 1310, when the operation switch 954 is not operated, the operation signal from the payout control board 951 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side and the logic is input LOW, while the operation switch 954 is operated. When this is the case, the operation signal from the payout control board 951 is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor MR2, and the logic is input as HI.

  The circuit constituted by the resistors MR3 and MR4 and the transistor MTR0 is a switch circuit which is turned on / off by an operation signal from the operation switch 954.

  When the operation switch 954 is not operated, the operation signal whose logic is LOW is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR0, whereby the transistor MTR0 is turned off and the switch circuit is also turned off. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR0 is pulled up to +5 V by the resistor MR5, and the operation signal from the operation switch 954 whose logic is HI is input to the input terminal PA0 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. Be done. When the logical value of the operation signal from operation switch 954 input to input terminal PA0 is HI, main control MPU 1310a does not instruct to perform the RAM clear for erasing the information stored in the main control internal RAM. to decide.

  On the other hand, when the operation switch 954 is operated, an operation signal pulled up to the +12 V side by the pull-up resistor MR2 and the logic becomes HI is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR0, and the transistor MTR0 is turned on to switch the switch The circuit is also turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR0 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side, and the logic becomes LOW. The operation signal from the operation switch 954 is input to the input terminal PA0 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. Be done. The main control MPU 1310a instructs the RAM clear to erase the information stored in the main control built-in RAM when the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 inputted to the input terminal PA0 is LOW. I will judge.

  The operation signal from the operation switch 954 is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor MR2. This is because the operation signal from the operation switch 954 is input through the payout control board 951. That is, between the substrates of the main control substrate 1310 and the payout control substrate 951, the voltage is higher than the control reference voltage of +5 V in order to suppress the influence of noise intruding into the wiring (harness) electrically connecting the substrates. The voltage of +12 V is used to increase the signal reliability. Therefore, in the present embodiment, detection signals from the general winning opening sensor 4020, the first starting opening sensor 4002, and the second starting opening sensor 4004, which are directly input to the main control board 1310, are on the +5 V side by pull-up resistance. While being pulled up, detection signals from the magnetic detection sensor 4024, the count sensor 4005, the general winning opening sensor 4020, and the gate sensor 4003 which are input through the panel relay substrate 4161 shown in FIG. Since it is not directly input, it is pulled up to the +12 V side by the pull-up resistor, similarly to the operation signal from the operation switch 954.

  The REF terminal which is a reference voltage input terminal of the shunt stabilized power supply circuit MIC20 and the K terminal which is a cathode terminal are electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR20 whose one end is electrically connected to the +5 V power supply line +5 V is applied, and the current input to the REF terminal is limited by the resistor MR20. The K terminal outputs a reference voltage Vref (in this embodiment, 2.495 V is set), which is a comparison reference voltage of the comparator MIC21. The K terminal is electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the capacitor MC20 grounded at one end, and the reference voltage Vref output from the K terminal is rippled by the capacitor MC20 AC component is removed and smoothed. The A terminal, which is the anode terminal of the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit MIC20, is grounded to the ground (GND).

The monitor voltage V2 of +12 V is applied to the fifth terminal which is the plus terminal of the MIC 21B, and the reference voltage Vref is applied to the sixth terminal which is the minus terminal of the MIC 21B. These comparison results are input to the D-type flip flop MIC22. The D-type flip-flop MIC22 includes two D-type flip-flop circuits, one of which (MIC22A) is used in the present embodiment. The Vcc terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the comparator MIC21, is electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the capacitor MC21, which is grounded. The +5 V applied to the Vcc terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the comparator MIC21, is Ripple is removed and smoothed by the capacitor MC21, and the GND terminal which is the ground terminal of the comparator MIC21 is grounded to the ground (GND).

As shown in FIG. 132, the third terminal, which is the plus terminal of the MIC 21A of the comparator MIC21 to which the monitor voltage V1 of +24 V is applied, is the other end of the resistor MR21 whose one end is electrically connected to the +24 V power supply line and one end Is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR22 which is grounded to the ground (GND), and the other ends of the resistors MR21 and MR22, and the other end of the capacitor MC23 whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND) Are electrically connected. The +24 V monitoring voltage V1 applied to the third terminal which is the plus terminal of the MIC 21 A of the comparator MIC 21 is divided by +24 V by the resistance ratio of the resistors MR 21 and MR 22, and the capacitor MC 23 removes the ripple and smoothes it. . The values of the resistances MR21 and MR22 become a power failure detection voltage V1 pf (in this embodiment, set to 21.40 V) which is set in advance when the +24 V fails or momentarily stops, and the voltage starts dropping from +24 V. At this time, the monitor voltage V1 of +24 V is set to have the same value as the reference voltage Vref.

[9-5-4. Output of blackout notice signal]
The D-type flip flop MIC22 stores the value (logic) of the signal input to the D input terminal 1D terminal by the change of the edge of the clock signal input to the clock input terminal 1CK terminal, and this stored value While outputting (logic) from the 1Q terminal which is an output terminal, a value obtained by inverting the stored value (logic) is output from a negative logic 1Q terminal which is an output terminal. In addition, when a signal whose logic is LOW is input to the CLR terminal which is a clear terminal, the D type flip-flop MIC22 releases the latch state and the logic of the signal input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal is The inverted signal is output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal (at this time, the same as the logic of the signal inverted from the logic of the signal output from 1Q, that is, the signal input to the PR terminal, which is the preset terminal When the signal whose logic has become HI is input to the CLR terminal which is a clear terminal, the latch state is set. Also, when the D type flip-flop MIC22 is configured to input a signal whose logic is HI to the CLR terminal which is a clear terminal to set the latch state, the logic is LOW to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal. When the signal that is input is input, the state in which the signal whose logic is HI is output from the 1Q terminal which is the output terminal is maintained (at this time, the signal obtained by inverting the logic of the signal output from 1Q is negative logic 1) Maintain the output state from the Q terminal).

  In this embodiment, the D-type flip-flop MIC22 is grounded at the 1D terminal, which is the D input terminal, and the 1CK terminal, which is the clock input terminal, to the ground (GND). The circuit is configured so that there is no change in the edge of the input clock signal, and the value (logic) of the signal input to the 1D terminal that is the D input terminal is stored and not output from the 1Q terminal that is the output terminal. ing. As described above, the D-type flip-flop MIC22 receives a signal from the first terminal, which is the output terminal of the MIC 21A of the comparator MIC21 that monitors a +24 V power failure or a momentary power failure, as described above Alternatively, a signal from the seventh terminal, which is the output terminal of the MIC 21B of the comparator MIC21 that monitors a momentary power failure, is input, and a signal is output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal, based on these signals.

The power failure clear signal is started to be output and stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed in the main control side power-on process to be described later performed by the main control MPU 1310a. Since the CLR terminal is a negative logic input, the power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310 a is input to the CLR terminal as its logic becomes LOW via the main control output circuit 1310 ca with a reset function. The D type flip flop MIC22 is configured to release the latch state when the power failure clear signal is input to the CLR terminal, and at this time, the logic input to the PR terminal as the preset terminal is inverted to output the output terminal.

  On the other hand, when the output of the power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a is stopped, the logic thereof becomes HI via the main control output circuit with reset function 1310ca, and is input to the CLR terminal. When the power failure clear signal is not input to the CLR terminal, the D-type flip flop MIC22 sets the latch state, and the logic becomes LOW at the PR terminal to latch the input state.

9-7. Interface circuit for communication between main control board and peripheral control board]
Next, a communication interface circuit between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510 will be described with reference to FIG. The main control board 1310 is supplied with +12 V from the power supply board 931 shown in FIG. 129 through the payout control board 951, and the +5 V creation circuit 1310 creates +5 V which is a control reference voltage of the main control MPU 1310a from this +12 V. ing. The main cycle serial data transmission signal transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 is affected by noise intruding into the wiring (harness) electrically connecting the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510. In order to suppress this, the reliability is enhanced by transmitting using +12 V which is a voltage higher than +5 V which is a control reference voltage of the main control MPU 1310 a.

  Specifically, the main control board 1310 causes the main control output circuit 1310cb without reset function to function as a communication interface circuit, and the communication interface circuit mainly includes the resistor MR50, the resistors MR51 and MR52, and the transistor MTR50. It is done. On the other hand, in the peripheral control substrate 1510, as a communication interface circuit, a diode AD10, an electrolytic capacitor AC10 (in the present embodiment, electrostatic capacity: 47 μF), and a photocoupler AIC10 (infrared LED and photo IC) are incorporated. Is mainly configured.).

The +12 V supplied from the power supply substrate 931 is applied to the anode terminal of the diode MD50 of the main control substrate 1310 via the payout control substrate 951, and the cathode terminal of the diode MD50 is grounded to the ground (GND). It is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor MC50 (in the present embodiment, the capacitance: 220 microfarads (.mu.F)). The cathode terminal of the diode MD50 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor MC50, and electrically connected to the anode terminal (No. 1 terminal) of the photocoupler AIC10 of the peripheral control substrate 1510 via a wiring (harness). It is connected to the.
Thereby, for example, when the power from power supply substrate 931 is not supplied to main control substrate 1310 via discharge control substrate 951 due to a power failure or a momentary stop, the charge stored in electrolytic capacitor MC50 is generated. The voltage can be continuously applied from the main control substrate 1310 to the anode terminal of the photocoupler AIC 10 of the peripheral control substrate 1510 as +12 V.

  As described above, when a power failure or an instantaneous stop occurs in the power supply terminal VDD of the main control MPU 1310a, the electrolytic capacitor MC2 (in the present embodiment, the capacitance: 470 μF) shown in FIG. 131 is charged. The main charge serial transmission port 1310 ae incorporated in the main control MPU 1310 a is at least at least a command for which the main control CPU core 1310 aa has been set in the transmission buffer register 1310 aeb. The data can be transferred to the transmission shift register 41 aea by the unit 1310 aec and transmission complete as main cycle serial data from the transmission shift register 1310 aea.

In order to suppress the influence of intruding noise, the reliability is enhanced by transmitting using +12 V which is a voltage higher than +5 V which is a control reference voltage of the main control MPU 1310 a.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a power failure or a momentary interruption occurs, the charge stored in the electrolytic capacitor MC50 is applied as +12 V from the main control substrate 1310 to the anode terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 of the peripheral control substrate 1510. Because the main control MPU 1310 a is built in, the main cycle serial transmission port 1310 ae transmits the command set by the main control CPU core 1310 aa in the transmission buffer register 1310 aeb by the serial management unit 1310 aec to the transmission shift register 41 aea for transmission When transmission is performed from the shift register 1310 aea as main cycle serial data, a main cycle serial data transmission signal whose logic is HI can be transmitted from the collector terminal of the transistor MTR 50 at +12 V.

  In this embodiment, the storage capacity of the transmission buffer register 1310 aeb of the main transmission serial transmission port 1310 ae incorporated in the main control MPU 1310 a has 32 bytes, and one packet is composed of 3 bytes of data Therefore, data of up to 10 packets is stored in the transmission buffer register 1310 aeb. Further, in the present embodiment, the transfer bit rate of the main cycle serial data transmitted from the main control MPU 1310 a is set to 19200 bps.

  The cathode terminal (third terminal) of the photocoupler AIC10 is electrically connected to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR50 of the main control substrate 1310 via the resistor AR10 and its wiring (harness). The resistor AR10 of the peripheral control substrate 1510 is a limiting resistor for limiting the current flowing to the built-in infrared LED of the photocoupler AIC10.

  The TXB terminal for outputting a serial data transmission signal in the main cycle from the main control MPU 1310a shown in FIG. 131 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR50 whose one end is electrically connected to the +5 V power supply line and the resistor MR51 It is electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor MTR50 through the same. The base terminal of the transistor MTR50 is electrically connected to the resistor MR51, and also electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the resistor MR52 which is grounded. The emitter terminal of the transistor MTR50 is grounded to the ground (GND).

  The circuit formed of resistors MR51 and MR52 and transistor MTR50 is a switch circuit, and when the logic of the main cycle serial data transmission signal is HI, the voltage applied to the base terminal of transistor MTR50 is on the ground (GND) side. When pulled down, the transistor MTR50 is turned off, and the switch circuit is also turned off. As a result, no current flows in the forward direction to the built-in infrared LED of the photocoupler AIC10 of the peripheral control substrate 1510, so the photocoupler AIC10 is turned off. On the other hand, when the logic of the main cycle serial data transmission signal is LOW, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR50 is pulled up to +5 V by the resistor MR50, the transistor MTR50 is turned ON, and the switch circuit is also turned ON. . As a result, a forward current flows in the built-in infrared LED of the photocoupler AIC10 of the peripheral control substrate 1510, and the photocoupler AIC10 is turned ON.

  The +5 V supplied from the power supply substrate 931 is applied to the anode terminal of the diode AD10 of the peripheral control substrate 1510 through the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868, and the cathode terminal of the diode AD10 is connected to the ground (GND). It is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor AC10 to be grounded. The cathode terminal of the diode AD10 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor AC10, and also electrically connected to the Vcc terminal (the sixth terminal) which is a power supply terminal of the photocoupler AIC10. The emitter terminal (No. 4 terminal) of the photocoupler AIC10 is grounded to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal (No. 5 terminal) of the photocoupler AIC10 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor AC10. It is pulled up to the +5 V side by the AR 11 and electrically connected to the input terminal of the serial control I / O port for the main control board of the peripheral control MPU 1511 a. When the photocoupler AIC10 is turned ON / OFF, the logic of the signal output from the collector terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 changes, and the signal is used as a main cycle serial data transmission signal, and the serial I / O port for the main control board of the peripheral control MPU 1511a Is input to the input terminal of.

  Thereby, as described above, for example, when +5 V supplied from the power supply substrate 931 is not supplied to the peripheral control substrate 1510 via the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 by a power failure or a momentary power failure, The charge stored in the electrolytic capacitor AC10 can be continuously applied as the +5 V to the Vcc terminal of the photocoupler AIC10. The main cycle serial data transmission signal transmitted from the TXB terminal of the main control MPU 1310a to the peripheral control board 1510 by applying +5 V from the electrolytic capacitor AC10 to the main control MPU 1310a when a power or momentary interruption occurs is generated. The data set in the transmission buffer register 1310 aeb of the built-in main cycle serial transmission port 1310 ae can be completely transmitted, and the main cycle serial data transmission signal during transmission, that is, the main cycle serial data is cut off. It is ensured that the peripheral control board 1510 is received without being damaged or being lost.

  When the logic of the main cycle serial data transmission signal transmitted from the TXB terminal of main control MPU 1310a to peripheral control board 1510 is HI, the voltage applied to the base terminal of transistor MTR50 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side and the transistor Since the photocoupler AIC10 is turned off when the MTR 50 is turned off, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 is pulled up to +5 V by the pull-up resistor AR11 and the logic becomes HI. Logic of the main cycle serial data transmission signal transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 from the TXB terminal of the main control MPU 1310a while the serial data transmission signal is input to the input terminal of the main control board serial I / O port of the peripheral control MPU 1511a When is LOW Is applied to the collector terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 because the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR50 is pulled up to +5 V by the resistor MR50 and the transistor MTR50 is turned ON to turn on the photocoupler AIC10. The main voltage serial data transmission signal whose voltage is pulled down to the ground (GND) side and the logic becomes LOW is input to the input terminal of the main control board serial I / O port of the peripheral control MPU 1511a. Thus, the logic of the main cycle serial data transmission signal output from the collector terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 is the same as the logic of the main cycle serial data transmission signal transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 from the TXB terminal of the main control MPU 1310a. It is the logic of

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the +5 V power supply line to which +5 V as the control reference voltage of the main control MPU 1310 a is applied, and the +12 V power supply line to which +12 V as the communication voltage applied via the diode MD50 is applied. However, measures are taken when the control reference voltage and the communication voltage drop due to the occurrence of a power failure or an instantaneous power failure. That is, for the main cycle serial transmission port 1310 ae incorporated in the main control MPU 1310 a, a +5 V power supply line, and the plus terminal of the electrolytic capacitor MC2 using the electrolytic capacitor MC2 of the main control filter circuit 1310 h as the first auxiliary power, Are electrically connected in parallel, and even if a power failure or a momentary stoppage occurs and the control reference voltage applied from the +5 V power supply line decreases, the electrolytic capacitor of the main control filter circuit 1310h which is the first auxiliary power supply By applying the control reference voltage from the plus terminal of MC2, the state in which the control reference voltage is applied can be maintained, and is configured from resistance MR50, resistance MR51, MR52, and transistor MTR50. Reset function to function as a communication interface circuit For the output circuit 1310cb, +12 V applied to the +12 V power supply line is applied to the anode terminal of the diode MD50 as a communication voltage, and the cathode terminal of the diode MD50 and the plus of the electrolytic capacitor MC50 which is the second auxiliary power supply Even if a voltage for communication applied from the +12 V power supply line via the diode MD 50 drops due to a power failure or a momentary interruption due to the parallel connection of the terminal and the circuit, the second auxiliary power supply By applying the communication voltage from the plus terminal of the electrolytic capacitor MC50, the state in which the communication voltage is applied can be maintained. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the disconnection of the command being transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 and to prevent the dropout, so the peripheral control board 1510 reliably receives the command being transmitted. can do. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the dropout of the command immediately after the occurrence of the power failure or at the momentary power failure.

  Further, a plurality of commands set in the transmission buffer register 1310 aeb of the main transmission serial transmission port 1310 a contained in the main control MPU 1310 a are all constituted of the resistance MR50, the resistances MR51 and MR52, and the transistor MTR50 as main transmission serial data. 470 μF is set as the electrostatic capacitance of the electrolytic capacitor MC2 of the main control filter circuit 1310h so that transmission to the peripheral control board 1510 can be completed via the reset function-free main control output circuit 1310cb that functions as a communication interface circuit. And 220 μF is set as the electrostatic capacitance of the electrolytic capacitor MC50. As a result, even if a power failure or momentary stoppage occurs during transmission from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510, all the commands set in the transmission buffer register 1310 aeb are reset to function as interface circuits as main cycle serial data. Since the transmission to the peripheral control board 1510 can be completed via the function-free main control output circuit 1310 cb, the peripheral control board 1510 may drop without dropping or disconnecting a plurality of commands set in the transmission buffer register 1310 aeb. Can be received reliably.

When a power failure or an instantaneous interruption occurs at the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU 952a, and the power from the pachinko facility is shut off, the electric charge stored in the electrolytic capacitor PC2 causes a power interruption or an instantaneous interruption. After generation, it is applied as +5 V for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms).

  The VDD terminal of the payout control MPU 952a is electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the capacitor PC3 whose one end is grounded, and the +5 V applied to the VDD terminal is smoothed by further removing ripples by the capacitor PC3. ing.

Is applied to the plus terminal of the Thus, as described above, when +5 V generated by the power generation circuit 935 d of the power supply substrate 931 shown in FIG. 129 is not supplied to the payout control substrate 951, the charge stored in the capacitor BC1 is paid off VBB. Because the current is blocked by the diode PD0 to the VDD terminal of the payout control MPU 952a and the payout control MPU 952a does not operate, the VBB terminal of the payout control built-in RAM is supplied to the payout control substrate 951 as The stored contents are kept by applying a payment VBB.

  The circuit composed of the pull-up resistor PR28 and the capacitor PC21 is a switch signal generating circuit, and when the body frame 4 is opened from the outer frame 2, or when the body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2, The contact constituting the main body frame open switch 619 is configured as a circuit also having a function of absorbing the fluctuation of the voltage from the main body frame open switch 619 due to the fluttering phenomenon of repeating ON / OFF for a short time.

  The circuit composed of the resistors PR 29 and PR 30 and the transistor PTR 23 and the circuit composed of the resistors PR 31 and PR 32 and the transistor PTR 24 are switch circuits that are turned on / off by a detection signal from the main body frame open switch 619.

  When the main frame 4 is opened from the outer frame 2, the main frame opening switch 619 is ON, and the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR23 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side, whereby the transistor PTR23 is turned off. It turns off and the switch circuit also turns off. Thus, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR23 is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor of the external terminal board 784 through the wiring (harness), and the outer end frame door open information output signal whose logic is HI Is input to the external terminal board 784. Further, in a state where main body frame 4 is opened from outer frame 2, since main body frame open switch 619 is ON, the voltage applied to the base terminal of transistor PTR24 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side. The PTR 24 is turned off and the switch circuit is also turned off. Thereby, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR24 is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistance of the main control input circuit 1310b of the main control board 1310 via the wiring (harness), and the logic becomes HI. A door open signal is input to the main control board 1310.

  On the other hand, when the main body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2, the main body frame open switch 619 is off, so that the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR23 is pulled up to +5 V by the pull-up resistor PR28. Thus, the transistor PTR23 is turned on, and the switch circuit is also turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR23 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side in the external terminal plate 784 via the wiring (harness), and the outer end frame door open information output signal whose logic is LOW is It is input to the external terminal board 784. Further, when the main body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2, the main body frame open switch 619 is off, so that the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR24 is pulled up to +5 V by the pull-up resistor PR28. Thus, the transistor PTR24 is turned on, and the switch circuit is also turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR24 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side in the main control board 1310 via the wiring (harness), and the main frame door open signal whose logic is LOW is the main control board It is input to 1310.

  As described above, when the main body frame 4 is opened from the outer frame 2, when the main body frame open switch 619 is turned ON, the outer end frame door open information output signal whose logic is HI is input to the external terminal board 784 The main frame door open signal whose logic has become HI is input to the main control board 1310, while the main frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2, the main frame open switch 619 is turned OFF to The outer end frame door open information output signal with the LOW being input is input to the external terminal board 784, and the main frame door open signal with the logic set to LOW is input to the main control board 1310.

Even in this case, since the main frame door open signal is input to the main control board 1310, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. Although it can not be determined whether the door frame 3 is released from the main body frame 4 or the main body frame 4 is released from the outer frame 2 based on the above, the door frame 3 and / or It can be determined that a state where the player does not occur during normal game that the main frame 4 is open has occurred, and an external terminal frame 784 has an outer end frame door open information output signal. Because it is supposed to be input, this outside Whether the frame door open information output signal is transmitted to the hall computer through the external terminal board 784 and the hall computer is in a state where the door frame 3 is opened from the main body frame 4 based on the outer end frame door open information output signal Or, although it can not be determined whether the main body frame 4 is in the state of being released from the outer frame 2, a state in which the player does not occur during the normal game that the door frame 3 and / or the main body frame 4 is open Can be determined.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the door frame opening switch 618 and the main body frame opening switch 619 are normally closed switches, so that the door frame opening switch 618 is shorted for some reason and the switch is turned on ( Even in the state of conducting), the door frame 3 is opened from the body frame 4 and the body frame open switch 619 is shorted for some reason and the switch is turned on (conducting), the body frame 4 is released from the outer frame 2. As described above, by adopting the door frame open switch 618 and the body frame open switch 619 as a normally closed switch, the main frame door open signal can be output to the main control board 1310 even at the time of a short circuit, and the outer end A frame door open information output signal can be transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal board 784.

  When the door frame opening switch 618 and the body frame opening switch 619 are replaced with a normally closed switch (normally open (NO)) switch (door frame opening switch 618 'and body frame opening switch 619') The door frame opening switch 618 'is turned on (conductive) in a state where the door frame 3 is closed from the main body frame 4 and turned off (disconnected) in a state where the door frame 3 is opened to the main body frame 4. . When the main body frame 4 is closed from the outer frame 2, the switch is turned on (conductive) and when the main body frame 4 is opened to the outer frame 2, the switch is turned off (disconnected). Then, even if the door frame opening switch 618 'is broken for some reason and the switch is turned OFF (disconnected), the door frame 3 is released from the main body frame 4 and the main body for some reason Even when the frame opening switch 619 'is disconnected and the switch is turned OFF (disconnected), the main frame 4 is opened from the outer frame 2. Thus, even when the door frame opening switch 618 'and the body frame opening switch 619' are normally open switches, the main frame door opening signal can be output to the main control board 1310 even at the time of disconnection. The outer end frame door open information output signal can be transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal board 784.

[10-2-3 (c). Circuit to which the delivery blackout notice signal from the blackout monitoring circuit is input]
The transmission line for transmitting the delivery blackout notice signal from the blackout monitoring circuit 1310e included in the main control board 1310 is electrically connected to the other end of the pull-up resistor PR40 whose one end is electrically connected to the +12 V power supply line It is electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor PTR40 through the PR41. The base terminal of the transistor PTR40 is electrically connected to the resistor PR41, and also electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the resistor PR42 which is grounded. The emitter terminal of transistor PTR40 is grounded to ground (GND), and the collector terminal of transistor PTR40 is electrically connected to the other end of resistor PR43, one end of which is electrically connected to the +5 V power supply line, and a non-inverting buffer ICPIC 40 (non-inverted buffer ICPIC 40 includes eight non-inverted buffer circuits, and shapes and outputs without inverting the logic of the signal waveform input to one of the (PIC 40 A)). It is electrically connected to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the MPU 952a. As the transistor PTR40 is turned ON / OFF, the logic of the signal output from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 changes, and the signal is input as the payout failure notification signal to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a.

  A circuit configured of the resistors PR41 and PR42 and the transistor PTR40 is a switch circuit that is turned on / off by a payout blackout notification signal from the blackout monitoring circuit 1310e provided on the main control board 1310.

  As described above, the blackout monitoring circuit 1310e monitors the signs of blackouts or instantaneous blackouts of two voltages of +12 V and + 24V from the power supply substrate 931, and when it detects signs of blackouts or blackouts, there is no reset function. A payout blackout notice signal is output to the payout control board 951 as a blackout notice via the main control output circuit 1310 cb. The blackout monitoring circuit 1310e monitors the signs of blackouts or instantaneous blackouts of the + 12V and + 24V voltages, and as described above, the condition that the + 24V voltage is larger than the blackout detection voltage V1pf, and the + 12V voltage is higher than the blackout detection voltage V2pf When both conditions of large condition are satisfied, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR22 in the subsequent stage is pulled down to the ground (GND) side in the payout control substrate 951 through the wiring (harness), and the logic is LOW. While the paid out blackout notification signal is input to the payout control board 951, one of the conditions that the voltage of + 24V is smaller than the blackout detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of + 12V is smaller than the blackout detection voltage V2pf When the condition is met, the transistor MTR22 of the rear stage Payout power failure warning signal which logic becomes HI by the voltage applied to the data terminal is pulled + 12V side by the pull-up resistor PR40 described above via wiring (harness) is input to the payout control board 951.

  When both the condition that the voltage of + 24V is larger than the detection failure voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage + 12V is larger than the detection failure voltage V2pf are satisfied, that is, there is no sign of a blackout or a momentary loss of voltage of + 12V and + 24V. At the same time, since the payout blackout notification signal whose logic has become LOW is input to the payout control substrate 951, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR40 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side, and the transistor PTR40 is turned OFF. The voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 is pulled up to the +5 V side by the resistor PR43. As a result, the payout blackout notification signal whose logic has become HI from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a.

  On the other hand, when one of the conditions that the voltage of +24 V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of +12 V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V2pf, that is, +12 V and / or +24 V When there is an indication of a power failure or a momentary power failure, the payout blackout notification signal whose logic is HI is input to the payout control board 951, and is applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR40 by the payout blackout notification signal from the blackout monitoring circuit 1310e Is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor PR40, the transistor PTR40 is turned on, and the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side. As a result, the payout blackout notification signal in which the logic of the collector terminal of the transistor PTR 40 becomes LOW is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a.

  Thus, when there is a sign of a power failure or a momentary loss of voltage of +12 V and / or +24 V, a payout blackout notification signal whose logic has become HI is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a, When there is no sign of a power failure or a momentary power failure of the voltages of +12 V and +24 V, a payout blackout notification signal whose logic has become LOW is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a. This is because, as described above, when there is a sign of a power failure or a momentary loss of voltage of +12 V and / or +24 V, a power failure notice signal whose logic is HI is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. On the other hand, when there is no indication of a power failure or a momentary loss of voltage of +12 V and +24 V, a power failure notification signal is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. The logic of the payout blackout notice signal input to the payout control MPU 952a according to the blackout notice and the logic of the blackout notice signal input to the main control MPU 1310a are the same logic.

The base terminal of the transistor PTR41 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR46 whose one end is connected to the ground (GND) in addition to the electrical connection to the resistor PR45, and one end is connected to the ground (GND) It is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor PC40 which is electrically connected. The capacitor PC40 plays a role as a low pass filter. The emitter terminal of the transistor PTR41 is grounded to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal of the transistor PTR41 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR47 whose one end is electrically connected to the +5 V power supply line and also a non-inverting buffer ICPIC 40 (non-inverted buffer ICPIC 40 includes eight non-inverted buffer circuits, and shapes and outputs without inverting the logic of the signal waveform input to one of them (PIC 40 B).) Payout control It is electrically connected to the input terminal PA2 of the input port PA of the MPU 952a. When the transistor PTR41 is turned ON / OFF, the logic of the signal output from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR41 changes, and the signal is input as the full signal to the input terminal PA2 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a.

  The circuit configured of the resistors PR45 and PR46 and the transistor PTR41 is a switch circuit that is turned on / off by a detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279.

  As described above, the full tank detection sensor 279 detects whether or not the storage space in the second ball passage of the far cover unit 270 is full with the stored gaming balls. In the present embodiment, when the storage space is not filled with gaming balls stored, the voltage applied to the output terminal of the full detection sensor 279 is transmitted via the handle relay terminal plate 315 and the power supply substrate 931, When a signal that is pulled up to +12 V by pull-up resistor 44a and becomes HI in logic on payout control board 951 is input to payout control board 951, while the storage space is full with stored gaming balls , The voltage applied to the output terminal of the full tank detection sensor 279 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side in the payout control substrate 951 via the handle relay terminal plate 315 and the power supply substrate 931, and the logic becomes LOW. Is input to the payout control board 951.

  When the storage space is not filled with gaming balls stored, the voltage applied to the output terminal of the full detection sensor 279 is applied to the payout control board 951 via the handle relay terminal plate 315 and the power supply substrate 931. The transistor PTR41 is turned on by inputting the signal pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor 44a and the logic becomes HI, and the switch circuit is also turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR41 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side and the logic becomes LOW, the full signal is input to the input terminal PA2 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a.

  On the other hand, when the storage space is full with the gaming balls stored, the voltage applied to the output terminal of the full detection sensor 279 is the payout control board via the handle relay terminal plate 315 and the power supply substrate 931. The signal pulled down to the ground (GND) side and having a logic LOW at 951 is input to the base terminal of the transistor PTR 41 described above, whereby the transistor PTR 41 is turned off and the switch circuit is also turned off. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR41 is pulled up to +5 V by the resistor PR47, and a full signal whose logic is HI is input to the input terminal PA2 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a.

  In the present embodiment, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 is input to the switch circuit configured of the resistor PR45, the resistor PR46, and the transistor PTR41 through the full tank detection sensor 3-terminal filter PIC50. Although the circuit configuration is used, detection signals from various detection switches such as the ball out detection sensor 827 and the payout detection sensor 842 shown in FIG. 124 are T-type filter circuits such as a three-terminal filter PIC50 for full detection sensor. It has a circuit configuration that is directly input to each switch circuit without intervention. Since the full tank detection sensor 279 is provided in the fal cover unit 270 attached to the door frame 3, it is compared with the out-of-ball detection sensor 827, the delivery detection sensor 842 and the like provided in the dispensing device 830 attached to the body frame 4. The path for transmitting the detection signal is extremely long and extremely susceptible to noise.

  The full tank detection sensor 279 detects whether or not the storage space in the second ball passage of the far cover unit 270 is full with the gaming balls stored, and the payout control MPU 952a is a full tank detection sensor Based on the detection signal from 279, when it is determined that the storage space is full by storing the gaming space, the drive control of the payout motor 834 is forcibly stopped and the payout of the gaming ball by the payout rotating body is stopped. It is supposed to control. That is, when noise intrudes into the transmission path (transmission line) for transmitting the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279, the payout control MPU 952a is not full of the gaming balls with the storage space stored, but In some cases, the drive control is forcibly stopped and the payout of the gaming balls by the payout rotating body is stopped, and it is possible to drive the payout motor 834 despite the fact that the storage space is full with the reserved gaming balls. When the game ball is filled up to the upstream side of the above-mentioned winning ball passage by controlling and rotating the payout rotary body and continuing the payout of the gaming ball, the payout rotary body itself can not rotate and the payout motor 834 Load is applied abnormally, and the discharge motor 834 is overloaded to generate abnormal heat and malfunction, or the rotation shaft of the discharge motor 834 is transmitted to the rotational movement of the discharge rotor. Sometimes referred to 構等 is or failure. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to prevent such a problem from occurring, the circuit configuration is first selected so that noise components are removed from the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 in the three terminal filter PIC50 for full tank detection sensor. Adopted.

[10-2-3 (e). Circuit to which operation signal from operation switch is input]
The 1st and 2nd terminals which are the output terminals of the operation switch 954 are grounded to the ground (GND), and the 3rd and 4th terminals which are the output terminals of the operation switch 954 are on the +5 V side by the pull-up resistor PR48. It is pulled up and electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor PTR42 of the previous stage through the resistor PR49. The base terminal of the previous-stage transistor PTR42 is electrically connected to the resistor PR49, and also electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the resistor PR50 whose ground is grounded. Further, the fourth terminal, which is an output terminal of the operation switch 954, is electrically connected to the pull-up resistor PR48, and also electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the capacitor PC41 which is grounded. ing. The emitter terminal of transistor PTR42 in the previous stage is grounded to ground (GND), and the collector terminal of transistor PTR42 in the previous stage is electrically connected to the other end of resistor PR51 whose one end is electrically connected to the +5 V power supply line At the same time, it is electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor PTR43 in the rear stage via the resistor PR52. The base terminal of the rear-stage transistor PTR43 is electrically connected to the resistor PR52, and also electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the resistor PR53 whose ground is grounded. The emitter terminal of the rear stage transistor PTR43 is grounded to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal of the rear stage transistor PTR43 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR54 whose one end is electrically connected to the +5 V power supply line And the non-inversion buffer ICPIC 40 (the non-inversion buffer ICPIC 40 includes eight non-inversion buffer circuits, and shapes and outputs the logic of the signal waveform input to one (PIC 40 C) without inverting it). It is electrically connected to the input terminal PA3 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a. The logic of the signal output from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR43 in the rear stage is changed by turning on / off the transistors PTR42 and PTR43 in the front and rear stages, and the signal becomes an RWMCLR signal as the input terminal PA3 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a. Is input to

  The third and fourth terminals, which are the output terminals of the operation switch 954, are pulled up to +5 V by the pull-up resistor PR48 and electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor PTR42 of the previous stage via the resistor PR49. It is pulled up to the +5 V side by the pull-up resistor PR48 and electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor PTR44 through the resistor PR55. The base terminal of the transistor PTR44 is electrically connected to the resistor PR55, and also electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the resistor PR56 which is grounded. The emitter terminal of the transistor PTR44 is grounded to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal of the transistor PTR44 is electrically connected to the main control board 1310 via a wiring (harness). When the collector terminal of the transistor PTR 44 is electrically connected to the main control board 1310 via a wiring (harness), one end of the main control input circuit 1310 b of the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. It is electrically connected to the other end of pull-up resistor MR2 electrically connected to the power supply line. When the transistor PTR 44 is turned ON / OFF, the logic of the signal output from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR 44 changes, and the signal is input as the RAM clear signal to the input terminal PA 0 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310 a.

  The circuit composed of the pull-up resistor PR48 and the capacitor PC41 is a switch signal generating circuit, and when the operation switch 954 is pressed, the contact constituting the operation switch 954 repeats ON / OFF for a short time. The circuit is also configured as a circuit having a function of absorbing fluctuations in voltage from the operation switch 954.

  The circuit composed of the resistors PR49 and PR50 and the transistor PTR42 is a switch circuit at the front stage, and the circuit composed of the resistors PR52 and PR53 and the transistor PTR43 is a switch circuit at the later stage, and the resistors PR55 and PR56 Is a switch circuit, which is turned on / off by an operation signal from the operation switch 954.

  As described above, the operation switch 954 is connected to the RAM (payment control built-in RAM) built in the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control board 951 within a predetermined period from the time of power on and the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 It is operated when clearing the built-in RAM (main control built-in RAM), or when it is notified of an error after the power is turned on, it is operated to clear the error. A function to clear the RAM within a predetermined period from time to time, and an error release after the power is turned on (after a period of playing the function as a RAM clear, that is, after a predetermined period has passed from the time of power on) It has a function. The operation signal from the operation switch 954 becomes a RAM clear signal in the function of clearing the RAM within a predetermined period after the power is turned on, while after the power is turned on (after a predetermined period has passed since the power was turned on) In the function to perform the error cancellation in the above, it becomes an error cancellation signal.

  When the operation switch 954 is not operated, the third and fourth terminals, which are the output terminals of the operation switch 954, are pulled up to +5 V by the pull-up resistor PR48. The transistor PTR42 of the previous stage is turned ON while the switch circuit of the previous stage is also turned ON, and is applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR43 of the previous stage, which is a voltage applied to the base of the transistor PTR43 of the subsequent stage. When the voltage is lowered to the ground (GND) side, the transistor PTR 43 in the rear stage is turned off, and the switch circuit in the rear stage is also turned off. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR43 in the subsequent stage is pulled up to +5 V by the resistor PR54 and the RWMCLR signal whose logic is HI is input to the input terminal PA3 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a. The payout control MPU 952a performs the RAM clear for erasing the information stored in the payout control internal RAM when the logic of the RWMCLR signal input to the input terminal PA3 is HI within a predetermined period from when the power is turned on. It is determined that the instruction is not to be issued, and the error is canceled when the logic of the RWMCLR signal input to the input terminal PA3 is HI after power on (after a predetermined period has elapsed from the time of power on). Judge not to indicate.

  Further, when the operation switch 954 is not operated, the operation signal of which the third and fourth terminals which are the output terminals of the operation switch 954 are pulled up to +5 V by the pull-up resistor PR48 and the logic becomes HI is the transistor PTR44. The transistor PTR 44 is turned on and the switch circuit is also turned on. As a result, a RAM clear signal whose logic becomes LOW is pulled down to the main control board 1310 when the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR 44 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side in the main control board 1310 via the wiring (harness). It is input. The main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 receives the logic “LOW” shown in FIG. 131 as described above when the RAM clear signal whose logic is LOW is input within a predetermined period from the time when the power is turned on. When the RAM clear signal is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR0, the transistor MTR0 is turned off, and the switch circuit is also turned off. As a result, the RAM clear signal in which the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR0 is pulled up to +5 V by the resistor MR5 and the logic becomes HI is input to the input terminal PA0 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. When the logic of the RAM clear signal input to the input terminal PA0 is HI, the main control MPU 1310a determines that it does not instruct to perform the RAM clear for erasing the information stored in the main control internal RAM.

  On the other hand, when the operation switch 954 is operated, the third and fourth terminals which are the output terminals of the operation switch 954 are pulled down to the ground (GND) side, so that the operation signal whose logic is LOW becomes the transistor of the previous stage. The transistor PTR42 at the front stage is turned off and the switch circuit at the front stage is also turned off when input to the base terminal of the PTR42, and is applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR42 at the front stage, which is a voltage applied to the base of the transistor PTR43 at the rear stage. Is pulled up to +5 V by the resistor PR51, so that the transistor PTR43 in the subsequent stage is turned on, and the switch circuit in the subsequent stage is also turned on. As a result, the RWMCLR signal whose voltage is lowered to the ground (GND) side and the logic becomes LOW is applied to the input terminal PA3 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a. The payout control MPU 952a performs the RAM clear for erasing the information stored in the payout control internal RAM when the logic of the RWMCLR signal input to the input terminal PA3 is LOW within a predetermined period from when the power is turned on. It is determined that the command is to be issued, and the error is canceled when the logic of the RWMCLR signal input to the input terminal PA3 is LOW after the power is turned on (after a predetermined period has elapsed from the time of power on). Judge that it is something to indicate.

This is because, for example, the gaming ball stored in the prize ball tank 720 in a state where the gaming ball from the pachinko island equipment side is not supplied to the prize ball tank 720 shown in FIG. When the jackpot happens to hit 15 rounds on the pachinko machine 1 by chance, the number of gaming balls stored in the prize ball tank 720 for paying out the gaming balls as prize balls runs out, so payout is made (If, for example, a ball clogged or a ball clogged in the payout device 830, the game ball can not be paid out if it can not be eliminated). Then, as described above, the winning ball number information output signal outputted on the payout control board 951 side reaches 10 balls the number of gaming balls actually paid out as the winning balls by the payout motor 834 shown in FIG. Since it is a signal that indicates that each time, the payout control board 951 can output the prize ball number information output signal and can transmit it to the hall computer through the external terminal board 784 by not being able to pay out the gaming balls. become unable. When the gaming ball is not paid out, the player calls a store clerk or the like in the hall. A clerk in the hall, for example, checks a hose-like supply nozzle or the like for supplying gaming balls from the pachinko island facility to the prize ball tank 720, and specifies the position of the ball jam (also, for example, occurs in the dispensing device 830). The game ball is returned to the state of being paid out by solving the above by specifying the position of the ball jam and the position of the ball blind.

  However, even if a store clerk or the like in the hall is working, since the game by the main control board 1310 is in progress, the game ball is paid out by the work of the store clerk or the like after 15 rounds of big hit When the state returns to the normal state, the payout control board 951 will pay out unpaid gaming balls one after another, and even though it is a time when 15 rounds of big hits have ended and 15 rounds of big hits have not occurred, the payout control boards 951 Outputs an award ball number information output signal to notify that effect each time the number of game balls actually paid out as a prize ball reaches 10 balls by the payout motor 834 and transmits it to the hall computer via the external terminal board 784 It will be. Then, although it is a time when 15 rounds of jackpots are not generated, a very large number of game balls will be paid out, so the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 and the number of balls of the game balls paid out by the pachinko machine 1 There is a problem that the hole computer can not accurately grasp the relationship between

  Therefore, in this embodiment, regardless of whether or not the payout motor 834 is driven and controlled by the payout control substrate 951 to actually pay out as a winning ball, that is, different from the prize ball number information output signal output by the payout control substrate 951. The main control board 1310 enters the various game winning openings such as the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the general winning openings 2001 and 2201, and the special winning opening 2005 shown in FIG. The main prize ball number information output signal is output as a signal indicating that the number of gaming balls to be paid out as prize balls reaches 10 balls based on the payout control board 951 and the external terminal board 784 Adopted a mechanism to communicate to the hall computer. As a result, even if the above-described trouble (ball clogging in the supply nozzle, ball clogging in the payout device 830, ball clogging, etc.) occurs, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 and the payment in this gaming state The relationship between the number of game balls scheduled to be released and the number of balls can be accurately transmitted to the hall computer. Therefore, the hole computer can accurately grasp the relationship between the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 and the number of gaming balls paid out in the gaming state.

The red video signal, the green video signal, and the blue video signal are, as described above, those in which the red video signal, the green video signal, and the blue video signal output from the channel CH2 of the built-in VDP 1512a are each 8 bits. Since the red video signal, the green video signal, and the blue video signal that can be input to the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d are each 6 bits, for a total of 18 bits, they are upper 6 bits in each video signal.

  The liquid crystal module circuit 450 V is serial data output from the peripheral control MPU 1511 a of the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control substrate 1510 as described above, in addition to the signal from the door frame side rendering transmitter IC 1512 d of the peripheral control substrate 1510. Two signals in which certain LOCKN signal output request data are differentiated into plus signal and minus signal in the differentiation circuit 1512 e of the peripheral control board 1510 are also input. As described above, forced switching circuit 1512 f of peripheral control board 1510 transmits two signals that are differentiated into plus signal and minus signal in differentiation circuit 1512 e, when these two signals are input. When the two circuits differentiated into plus signal and minus signal are not input in the differential circuit 1512e, the signal output from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d is transmitted.

Thus, when two signals differentiated into a plus signal and a minus signal are input in the differential circuit 1512 e, the two signals are connected in order to transmit the two signals, and thus the two signals are The difference is transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, the peripheral door relay terminal board 882, and the liquid crystal module circuit 450V of the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3, When two signals differentiated into plus signal and minus signal are not input in the activation circuit 1512e, the circuit is connected to transmit the signal output from the door frame side rendering transmitter IC 1512d. A signal output from transmitter IC 1512 d for frame side effect is transmitted from peripheral control board 1510 to a frame peripheral relay terminal. 868, near the door relay terminal plate 882, and transmitted to the liquid crystal module circuit 450V of the effect display driving substrate 4450 which is housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3.

  The forced switching circuit 1512 f is a signal output from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d when the two signals differentiated into the plus signal and the minus signal in the differentiation circuit 1512 e are not input, that is, the door frame A serial signal (serial data) based on a differential method called “V-by-One (registered trademark)” of “S-Electronics Inc.'s“ V-by-One (registered trademark) ”from the transmitter IC 1512d for side effect as a plus signal and minus signal from the peripheral control board 1510 And 868, and are input to the common mode choke coil SDL0 via the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 and to the RXIN + and RXIN- terminals of the door frame side rendering receiver ICSDIC0, respectively, while the differential circuit 1512e In When the two signals differentiated into the source signal and the negative signal are input from the peripheral control board 1510 via the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal board 882, these two signals are common. The signal is input to the mode choke coil SDL0, and then input to the RXIN + terminal and the RXIN- terminal of the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0. The door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 determines that it is an output request for the LOCKN signal when two signals differentiated into a plus signal and a minus signal are input in the differentiating circuit 1512e, A LOCKN signal is output from the LOCKN terminal described later to the peripheral control board 1510 via the peripheral door relay terminal board 882 and the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868.

When the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 receives the frame state 1 command, the error cancellation navi command and the frame state 2 command from the payout control board 951, as shown in FIG. 144, “7 * H” While setting as a status, the received command is set as it is as a mode. That is, when the main control MPU 1310a receives the frame state 1 command, the error cancel navi command, and the frame state 2 command from the payout control board 951, the main control MPU 1310 adds “7 * H” which is additional information to these received commands. According to the above, it is formatted into a command having a storage capacity of 2 bytes (16 bits).

  The frame status 1 command, which has been shaped, is sent at power recovery, when the frame status changes, and at error release navigation, the error release navigation command is sent at error release navigation, and the frame status 2 command is at power recovery , And when the frame status changes. The frame state 1 command, the error cancellation navi command, and the frame state 2 command, which are shaped, are actually transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in the main control timer interrupt process.

As shown in FIG. 144, the test-related section is composed of various commands named test. In this test command, “8 * H” is assigned as the status, and “** H” (“H” represents a hexadecimal number) is assigned as a mode (“*” is a specific hexadecimal number) , And is predetermined by the specification contents of the pachinko machine 1).

  The test command instructs various inspections of the peripheral control substrate 1510 (for example, the peripheral control unit 1511, the liquid crystal display control unit 1512, the lamp drive substrate 4170, the motor drive substrate 4180, and the frame decoration shown in FIG. Inspection of various substrates such as the drive amplifier substrate 194 etc.).

  As the transmission timing of these various commands, when the starting ball winning command is when the game ball enters the first starting hole 2002 based on the detection signal from the first starting hole sensor (when the starting ball is winning, or the second When the game ball enters the second starting opening 2004 based on the detection signal from the starting opening sensor 4004), mainly by voice from the speaker 921 shown in FIG. 5 and the upper speaker 573 shown in FIG. 2 And the variation shortening operation termination designation command is transmitted at the termination of the stop period (after the lapse of the suspension termination period) after the fluctuation is determined after settling the variation shortening of the specified number of times, and the high probability termination designation command is It is sent at the end of the stop period (after the lapse of the stop stop period) after the fluctuation is determined that has digested the high probability frequency in the case of "high probability N times", and the special symbol 1 memory command is the special symbol 1 operation holding ball At the time of change (the game ball enters the first starting opening 2002, and the first special symbol display 1403 of the function display unit 1400 further has the number of reservations not yet used for the variable display of the special symbol. When the game ball enters the starting opening 2002 and the number of reservations increases, or when the number of reservations decreases using the special symbol display on the first special symbol display 1403 from that number of reservations The special symbol 2 memory command is when the special symbol 2 actuation ball number changes (the game ball enters the second starting opening 2004 and the special symbol is changed by the second special symbol display 1405 of the function display unit 1400 In the state where there is a number of reservations not yet used, when the game ball enters the second starting hole 2004 and the number of reservations increases and the number of special symbols in the second special symbol indicator 1405 from the number of reservations Strange The normal symbol memory command is transmitted when the number of reserved balls decreases (using the display) and the normal symbol 1 operation ball number change (when the game ball passes through the gate part 2003, the normal symbol of the function display unit 1400) In the state where there is the number of reservations not yet used for the fluctuation display of the normal symbol in the indicator 1402, when the number of the reservation balls further passes through the gate part 2003 and the number of reservations increases, the normal symbol display 1402 from the number of reservations The special symbol 1 memory pre-reading effect command is sent when the number of reserved symbols is reduced and used for the fluctuation display of the normal symbol in the special symbol 1 operation pending ball number increase (the game ball is in the first starting opening 2002) The special symbol 2 memory pre-reading effect command is sent when the ball number increases and the number of reservations increases) When the number of special symbol 2 operation suspension balls increases (the game ball enters the second starting opening 2004 and the number of reservations is increase Sent) when Note that these various commands are actually transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in the main control timer interrupt process.

  By the way, as described above, the starting opening winning command is the starting opening winning (when the game ball enters the first starting opening 2002 based on the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 4002, the second starting opening When the game ball enters the second starting hole 2004 based on the detection signal from the sensor 4004, the signal is transmitted from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 mainly to notify of that with voice, as shown in FIG. 126. The manner in which the peripheral control board 1510 shown in FIG. 7 uses the start opening winning command may differ depending on the specifications of the pachinko machine. For example, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in addition to audio notification from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the pachinko machine 1 is also used to monitor the presence or absence of fraudulent activity. On the other hand, in other pachinko machines, the peripheral control board 1510 may simply receive the starting opening winning command but may not be notified by voice from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573.

13-3. Various commands from the payout control board received by the main control board]
Next, various commands from the payout control board 951 received by the main control board 1310 will be described.

  Classification of various commands from the payout control board 951 is made up of commands with the names frame state 1, error cancellation navigation and frame state 2 as shown in FIG. 145, and the frame state 1, error cancellation navigation, and so on. The priority is set in the order of the frame state 2.

  In the frame status 1 command (corresponds to the error generation command), out of sphere, full, in 50 or more stocks, connection abnormality and CR non-connection are prepared, and in out of sphere bit 0 (B0, "B" Represents a bit)), the value 1 is set to bit 1 (B1) if full, bit 2 (B2) is set to 1 in more than 50 stocks, and A value 1 is set to bit 3 (B3), and a value 1 is set to bit 4 (B4) when CR is not connected. In the bit 5 (B5) to bit 7 (B7) of the frame status 1 command, the value 1 is set to B5, the value 0 is set to B6, and the value 0 is set to B7.

  In the error cancellation navigation command (corresponding to the error cancellation command), the ball is detected, and the payout detection sensor error and the retry error are prepared, and the bit 2 (B2) is set to the value 1 in the ball, and the payout detection sensor In the case of an error, the value 1 is set to bit 3 (B3), and in the case of a retry error, the value 1 is set to bit 4 (B4). Here, “disbursement detection sensor error” indicates whether or not the malfunction of the payout detection sensor 842 shown in FIG. 124 has occurred. The "retry error" indicates that the payout of the inconsistent game ball due to the retry operation is repeated. In the error cancellation navi command bit (B0), bit (B1), and bit 5 (B5) to bit 7 (B7), B0 is the value 0, B1 is the value, B5 is the value, B5 is the value, B6 is the value 1, And the value 0 is set to B7.

  In the frame state 2 command, the ball removal is prepared, and during the ball removal, the value 1 is set to bit 0 (B0). The bit 1 (B1) to bit 7 (B7) of the frame state 2 command has the value 0 for B1, 0 for B2, 0 for B3, 0 for B4, 0 for B4, 1 for B5 and 1 for B6. The value 0 is set to B7.

  As the transmission timing of these various commands, the frame state 1 command is transmitted at the time of power recovery, change of the frame state, and error release navigation, and the error release navigation command is transmitted at error release navigation, frame state 2 command Is sent when power is restored and when the frame status changes. Note that these various commands are actually transmitted in the command transmission process of step S558 in the payout control unit main process of the payout control unit power-on process described later.

[14. Various control processing of main control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. 123 in accordance with the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 146 is a flow chart showing an example of the main control side power on process, FIG. 147 is a flow chart showing the continuation of the main control side power on process of FIG. 146, and FIG. 148 is an example of the main control timer interrupt process Is a flowchart showing First, various random numbers used for game control will be described, and then the operation of the initial value update type counter, the main control side power-on process, and the main control timer interrupt process will be described.

[14-1. Various random numbers]
As random numbers used for game control, a big hit judgment random number for use in deciding whether or not to generate a big hit gaming state, and whether or not reach is generated when a big hit gaming state is not generated Variation pattern for use in determination of the random pattern for reach determination for use in determination and for determination of the variation pattern of the special symbol variably displayed by the first special symbol display 1403 and the second special symbol display 1405 shown in FIG. 123 The random number for the jackpot symbol for use in determining the jackpot symbol derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 1403 and the second special symbol indicator 1405 when generating the jackpot gaming state, and for this jackpot symbol A random number for determining the initial value of the random number for determining the initial value, a random number for determining the initial value, the first special symbol indicator 1403 when generating a small hit gaming state Random number for small hitting symbol for use in determination of small hitting symbols derived and displayed by the second special symbol display 1405, initial value determination for small hitting symbols for use in determination of initial value of this small hitting symbol random number Random numbers etc. are prepared. Moreover, in addition to these random numbers, it is used to determine the initial value of an ordinary symbol determination random number per pattern for use in determining whether to open and close the movable piece shown in FIG. The random number for the initial value determination for determination of the normal symbol for the purpose and the random number etc. for the normal symbol variation pattern for use in determining the variation pattern of the normal symbol variably displayed on the normal symbol display 1402 shown in FIG. ing.

  Among the various random numbers used for such game control, the random number for determining the jackpot is updated by hardware, and the other various random numbers are updated by software.

  For example, the jackpot determination random number is directly updated by hardware by the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310 an incorporated in the main control MPU 1310 a shown in FIG. As described above, when the main control MPU 1310 a is reset, the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310 an first uses a value within a predetermined numerical range as an initial value to be a clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310 a Based on (the clock signal output from main control crystal oscillator MX0 shown in FIG. 131), other values in the predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed, and all values in the predetermined numerical range are extracted. After the extraction, one value within the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and other values within the predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310a. Do. The main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310 an repeatedly performs such high-speed lottery, and the main control MPU 1310 a performs a big hit on the value extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310 an at the time of obtaining the value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310 an It is set as a judgment random number.

  On the other hand, the counter for updating the random number per pattern normally is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and the range from the minimum value to the maximum value will be described later Each time the main control timer interrupt process is performed, the value is incremented by one to count up. The counter counts up from the random value for determining the initial value per symbol normally to the maximum value, and then counts up from the minimum value toward the random number for determining the initial value per symbol for normal. When the counter finishes counting up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the random number per symbol normal determination, the random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol is updated. Such a method of updating the counter is called "initial value update type counter". The random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol can be obtained by executing the initial value lottery processing which randomly selects one value from the fixed numerical range of the counter for updating the random number for determining normal per symbol normally. .

  In this embodiment, when the operation switch 954 of the payout control board 951 shown in FIG. 124 is operated at power on, or in the main control side power on process described later, the main control MPU 1310a shown in FIG. The value (sum value) of the checksum obtained by calculating the sum of the game information stored in the main control built-in RAM as a numerical value is stored in the main control side power-off process (during power-off) When clearing the entire area of the main control built-in RAM, for example, when it does not match the value of the checksum (sum value), the random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol is the main control MPU 1310a shown in FIG. Fetches the ID code from its built-in non-volatile RAM, and based on the fetched ID code, fixed number range of the counter which updates the random number for judgment per normal pattern Et always performs initial value derivation process of deriving the same fixed value, a fixed value this derivation has a mechanism to be set. That is, the random number for determining the initial value per symbol normally is designed to always overwrite and update the same fixed value derived based on the ID code by execution of the initial value derivation process. As described above, the value set for the random number for determining the initial value per symbol normally is derived using the ID code, and the non-volatile RAM incorporated in the main control MPU 1310 a by the manufacturer that manufactured the main control MPU 1310 a The first security measure that the ID code can not be rewritten even if the external device is stored if the ID code is stored in the ID code, and the ID code by executing the initial value derivation process when clearing the entire area of the main control internal RAM The second security measure that derives the same fixed value on the basis of and the two-step security measure by the second security measure is prevented from being analyzed by being taken.

  Here, an advantage will be described in which the ID code is taken out from the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a, and this taken out ID code is used as a random number for determining the initial value per ordinary symbol. For example, a person who intends to illegally acquire a game ball to be paid out as a prize ball somehow acquires the game board 5 and disassembles it, and an ID code stored in advance in a non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a Even if it is acquired illegally and the timing when the value of the counter for updating the random number per symbol normal determination and the judgment value per regular symbol coincide can be grasped, the ID code is unique for identifying the individual Since the code is attached, it is completely different from the ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310 a ′ provided in the other game board 5 ′. That is, in the other game boards 5 ′, the timing at which the value of the counter for updating the random number per normal symbol judgment and the normal symbol per-coincidence value match is completely different from that of the acquired game board 5. In other words, the ID code obtained by disassembling and analyzing the obtained game board 5 was completely disassembled and analyzed because it is completely useless in other game boards 5 ', that is, other pachinko machines 1'. A momentary stop is generated at every predetermined interval obtained, and even if the game ball is allowed to pass through the gate section 2003 shown in FIG. 8 at every predetermined interval, the movable piece shown in FIG. A game state in which the game ball can be accepted to the starting opening 2004 can not be generated.

[14-2. Main control side power on process]
First, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the main control MPU 1310 a is configured to set a stack pointer at a predetermined address as a default.
This stack pointer indicates, for example, an address stacked on the stack to temporarily store the contents of the storage element (register) in use, or the return address of this routine when the subroutine is ended and returned to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for temporary storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked.

  Then, under the control of the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, the above-mentioned main control program performs processing at the time of main control power on as shown in FIGS. 146 and 147. When the main control side power-on process is started, the main control program sets the RAM access permission under the control of the main control MPU 1310a (step S10). By setting the RAM access permission, the main control built-in RAM (game storage unit) can be updated.

  Following step S10, the main control program performs initial value setting and activation setting of the main control built-in WDT 1310af shown in FIG. 123 (step S12). Here, a watchdog timer control register (hereinafter referred to as “the watchdog timer control register”) incorporated in the main control MPU 1310 a to set an initial value in the main control built-in WDT 1310 af that monitors whether the operation (system) of the main control MPU 1310 a is operating normally. The timer setting value is set in the WDT control register) to start the main control built-in WDT 1310 af and start timing until the main control MPU 1310 a is reset. When the main control built-in WDT 1310 af starts, clocking by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af is started, and the watch dog timer clear register built in the main control MPU 1310 a until the time measured reaches the time set by the timer set value. Hereinafter, when the timer clear set value is not set in “WDT clear register”, the main control MPU 1310 a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af. On the other hand, when the main control built-in WDT 1310af is started and clocking is started, if the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register before this clocked time reaches the time set by the timer setting value, The timing by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af is cleared, and the timing is started again. As described above, the operation (system) of the main control MPU 1310 a operates normally by repeatedly performing the process of clearing the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af until the time set by the timer setting value is reached and starting the time measurement again. Can be monitored.

  Subsequent to step S12, the main control program performs a power failure clear process (step S14). In the power clearing process, first, the power failure monitoring circuit 1310 e shown in FIG. 132 starts outputting a power failure clear signal. The blackout monitoring circuit 1310e is composed of a comparator MIC21, which is a voltage comparison circuit, and a D-type flip flop MIC22. The comparator MIC21 which is a voltage comparison circuit compares the voltage of +24 V with the reference voltage or compares the voltage of +12 V with the reference voltage to output the comparison result. The comparison result is that when no power failure or momentary interruption occurs, the logic becomes HI and is input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal of D-type flip-flop MIC22, while when a power failure or momentary interruption occurs. The logic becomes LOW and is input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal of the D-type flip flop MIC22.

  In the power clearing process, the power failure monitoring circuit 1310 e starts to output the power failure clear signal, thereby starting the output of the power failure clear signal to the CLR terminal which is the clear terminal of the D type flip flop MIC 22. This blackout clear signal is input to the CLR terminal which is the clear terminal of the D type flip flop IC via the main control output circuit with reset function 1310 ca with its logic set to LOW from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310 a. Be done. Thus, the main control MPU 1310a can release the latch state of the D type flip flop MIC22, and the logic input to the PR terminal, which is the preset terminal of the D type flip flop MIC22, is set until the latch state is set. The signal can be inverted and output from the 1Q terminal which is an output terminal, and the signal from the 1Q terminal can be monitored.

  Subsequently, in the power clearing process, a wait timer process is performed to determine whether or not a power failure advance signal is input. The voltage does not rise immediately between the time the power is turned on and the predetermined voltage. On the other hand, when a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs (a phenomenon in which the supply of power is suspended), the voltage drops and becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e as a power failure notification. Similarly, when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure notification voltage during the period from the power-on to the predetermined voltage, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310 e. Therefore, the wait timer process is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes higher than the power failure warning voltage and becomes stable after the power is turned on. In the present embodiment, 200 milliseconds (ms) is set as the waiting time (wait timer). It is done. The determination as to whether or not the power failure notification signal is input is performed based on the signal output from the 1Q terminal which is the output terminal of the above-described D type flip-flop MIC22 as the power failure notification signal.

  If there is no input of the power failure notification signal after waiting for the voltage to become higher than the power failure notification voltage and stabilized after power on, the main control program outputs a power failure clear signal to the CLR terminal which is the clear terminal of the D type flip flop MIC22. Stop output. Here, the power failure clear signal changes its logic to HI from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310a, and the CLR terminal which is the clear terminal of the D type flip flop IC via the main control output circuit with reset function 1310ca. Is input to As a result, the main control MPU 1310a can set the D type flip flop MIC22 in the latch state. The D-type flip-flop MIC22 outputs a power failure notice signal from the 1Q terminal which is an output terminal, when a state in which the logic becomes LOW to be input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal is latched.

  Subsequent to step S14, the main control program makes it possible to execute the RAM clear process for initializing the main control built-in RAM (game storage unit) for a predetermined time from when the power is turned on (when the game side power is turned on) Operation control means). Specifically, the main control program first determines whether the operation switch 954 of the payout control board 951 shown in FIG. 124 is operated (step S16). In this determination, the main control program inputs, to the main control MPU 1310a, an error release navigation command (first error release command) based on an operation signal (detection signal) accompanying operation of the operation switch 954 of the payout control board 951. It does depending on whether it is done or not. The main control program determines that the RAM clear is not instructed when the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 is HI based on the logical value of the operation signal, and the operation switch 954 is operated. On the other hand, when the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 is LOW, it is determined that the instruction is to clear the RAM, and it is determined that the operation switch 954 is operated.

  In step S16, when the operation switch 954 is operated, the main control program sets the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S18). On the other hand, when the operation switch 954 is not operated in step S16, the main control program sets the value 0 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S20). That is, the main control program can execute the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a (that is, the main control built-in RAM (game storage unit)) for a predetermined time after power-on. The state is set (game control side power on operation control means). The RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG described above determines whether or not to delete game information related to games such as probability fluctuation and unpaid award balls stored in the main control built-in RAM (game storage unit) of the main control MPU 1310a. It is a flag indicating that it is set to a value of 1 when erasing game information, and a value of 0 when not deleting gaming information. The value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG set in step S18 and step S20 is stored in a general purpose storage element (general purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a.

  Subsequent to step S18 or step S20, the main control program performs wait time standby processing (step S22). In this wait time standby process, a system for performing drawing control of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 by the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 of the peripheral control substrate 1510 shown in FIG. Wait until In the present embodiment, 2.5 seconds (s) is set as a standby time (boot timer) until boot.

  Following step S22, the main control program determines whether or not a power failure advance signal is input (step S24). As described above, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off or a power failure or momentary stop occurs, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e as a power failure notification when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure notification voltage. The determination in step S24 is performed based on the power failure advance signal. If it is determined in step S24 that the power failure notification signal is input, the main control program returns to the determination of step S24 again, and repeats the determination of step S24 as long as the power failure notification signal is continuously input. Thus, the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310 a with respect to the main control built-in WDT 1310 af activated in step S12, and the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af is cleared and the time measurement is started again As a result, the main control MPU 1310 a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af. After that, the main control program again performs the main control side power-on process under the control of the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310. A detailed description of the point that the determination of step S24 is performed subsequent to the wait time waiting process of step S22 will be described later.

  If it is determined in step S24 that the power failure advance notification signal is not input, the main control program determines whether the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value 0 (step S26). As described above, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set to a value 1 when the game information is deleted and a value 0 when the game information is not deleted. When the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 in step S26, that is, when the game information is not deleted, a checksum is calculated (step S28). This checksum is to calculate the total by regarding the game information stored in the main control built-in RAM as a numerical value.

  Subsequent to step S28, the main control program causes the calculated checksum value (sum value) to be the checksum value (sum value) stored in the main control-side power-off processing (power-off) described later. It is determined whether there is a match (step S30). If they match, the main control program determines whether the backup flag BK-FLG has the value 1 (step S32). The backup flag BK-FLG stores game backup information such as game information, checksum value (sum value), and backup flag BK-FLG value in the main control built-in RAM in the main control side power-off process described later. It is a flag indicating whether or not it has been set, and is set to a value 1 when the main control side power-off process has ended normally, and a value 0 when the main control side power-off process has not ended normally. In the inspection step of the manufacturing line of the main control board 1310, the calculation of the checksum in step S28 and the determination in step S30 when the main control board 1310 is first turned on after manufacturing for inspection. Detailed explanation about, is mentioned below.

  When the backup flag BK-FLG has the value 1 in step S32, that is, when the main control side power-off process has ended normally, the main control program sets the work area of the main control internal RAM as power recovery ( Step S34). In this setting, power recovery information is read from a ROM (that is, main control built-in ROM) built in the main control MPU 1310a, and this power recovery time information is set in a work area of the main control built-in RAM. Thereby, the game information is read out from the game backup information, and various commands corresponding to the game information are stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Note that “power recovery” refers to the state where the power is turned on after the power is shut off, as well as the state where the power is restored after a power failure or a momentary interruption, illegal means (for example A high frequency from the hidden high frequency output device is irradiated to the main control board 1310 to reset the main control MPU 1310 a itself, and also includes a state where it is restored thereafter.

  Following step S34, the main control program sets the backup flag BK-FLG to the value 0 (step S36). As a result, the game information, the value (sum value) of the checksum, etc. are changed by performing various processes after this, so the main control side power-off process described later is normally ended and the backup flag BK- If the value 1 is not set in FLG, as described later, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is cleared.

  On the other hand, when the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not the value 0 (is the value 1) in step S26, that is, when deleting the game information, or when the checksum values (sum values) do not match in step S30. When the backup flag BK-FLG is not 1 (value 0) in step S32, that is, when the main control side power-off process has not been completed normally, the main control program executes the entire main control internal RAM. The area is cleared (step S38). That is, the main control program executes the game control side RAM clear processing triggered by the input of the detection signal according to the operation of the operation switch 954 described above (payout control side power on operation control means). Specifically, the main control program is performed by writing the value 0 to the main control built-in RAM. Alternatively, the main control program may read and set a predetermined value from the main control built-in ROM as an initial value. In addition, when the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 instructs the RAM clear and clears the game information, the main control MPU 1310a performs processing when the sum values do not match or when the main control power is turned off. When not terminated normally, the unique ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is taken out, and based on the taken out ID code, the fixed number range of the counter which updates the random number per normal symbol judgment The initial value derivation process which always derives the same fixed value from is performed, and this fixed value is set to the random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol determination to be used for determining the initial value of the random number for the normal symbol determination described above. Do.

  Following step S38, the main control program sets a work area of the main control built-in RAM as an initial setting (step S40). This setting is performed by reading out the initial information from the main control built-in ROM and setting the initial information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM.

  Subsequent to step S36 or step S40, the main control program performs interrupt initialization (step S42). This setting is to set an interrupt cycle when the main control side timer interrupt process to be described later is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 4 milliseconds (ms).

  Following step S42, the main control program performs serial communication initialization (step S44). Here, various serial input / output ports (for example, serial input / output ports (reception channel and transmission channel for the payout control board 951) and serial input / output ports for the peripheral control board 1510 (reception channel and transmission channel) incorporated in the main control MPU 1310a. In the transmission serial port prescaler corresponding to (1), setting of the communication speed and setting of presence / absence of parity etc. are performed, and in the transmission serial port control register, setting of initialization of the transmission circuit and setting of transmission permission are made.

  Subsequent to step S44, the main control program performs test signal output port initialization setting (step S46). Here, in the testing organization of the gaming machine, the test signal output port (not shown) for outputting various inspection information is initialized (set to OFF data output) etc. when the power is turned on.

  Following step S46, the main control program performs start setting of the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310an shown in FIG. 123 (step S48). Here, a hard random number control register built in the main control MPU 1310 a for updating by hardware the jackpot determination random number used for determining whether or not to generate the jackpot gaming state among various random numbers related to the game The random number is latched and acquired, and the activation of the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310 an is set in the hard random number setting register. When the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310an is activated by these settings, it is determined at high speed in advance based on the clock signal (clock signal output from the main control crystal oscillator MX0 shown in FIG. 131) input to the main control MPU 1310a. After extracting other values in the numerical range one after another without overlapping and extracting all the values in the predetermined numerical range, one value in the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, Based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310a, other values in a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another without overlapping at high speed. When the main control MPU 1310a acquires a random number (random number value) from the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310an, it outputs a latch signal to the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310an, and the main control when this latch signal is input The random number (random number value) extracted by the built-in hard random number circuit 1310 an is acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control built-in main control MPU 1310 a. The main control MPU 1310a sets the acquired random number value as a jackpot determination random number.

  Following step S48, the main control program performs reservation setting of a command to be transmitted when the power is turned on (step S50). Here, in order to convey that power has been turned on (power recovery) based on the power recovery time information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. The power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command which are classified into the power-on described in the above are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM. Also in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, when setting the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, the game information is read from the game backup information and various commands corresponding to the game information are stored. is there. In such a case, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information is completed, the power on state command and the power on main control return destination command are subsequently transmitted. These commands are transmitted in the main control timer interrupt process described later. A detailed description of the point at which reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 will be described later.

  Subsequent to step S50, the main control program performs interrupt permission setting (step S52). As a result of this setting, a main control timer interrupt process to be described later is repeatedly performed at an interrupt cycle set in step S42, that is, every 4 ms.

  Subsequent to step S52, when the main control program passes a predetermined time from the time of power on, that is, when the main control side main process is started, the error cancel navi command of the operation switch 954 (operation switch) is It will regulate execution of game control side RAM clear processing which is triggered by receipt (normal time operation control expedient). As described above, according to the concept of time sharing, the main control program detects the detection signal input following the operation of the operation switch 954, as described above, for the error cancellation navigation command for a predetermined time from the time of power on. The RAM clear process is executed triggered by the input (game control side power on operation control means), and after the predetermined time has elapsed, the execution of the RAM clear process is restricted even if the error cancellation navigation command is input ( The game control side normal operation control means), is handled as a release switch for releasing the error notification accompanying the error that has occurred. In other words, the operation switch 954 (error cancellation unit), which was originally used to cancel an error generated for the payout operation, is used as a game storage unit for a predetermined time after the power is turned on. The main control built-in RAM (and the payout control built-in RAM as a payout storage unit to be described later) functions as an operation unit for executing a RAM clear process for starting initialization of the RAM, or after the lapse of the predetermined time It can function as an operation unit for canceling an error that has occurred in relation to the ball dispensing operation.

  Next, the main control program determines whether or not a power failure advance signal is input (step S54). As described above, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off or a power failure or momentary stop occurs, a power failure notification signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e as a power failure notification when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure notification voltage. The determination in step S54 is performed based on the power failure advance signal.

  When there is no input of the power failure advance notice signal in step S54, the main control program performs non-attrition random number update processing (step S56). In this non-coincidence random number update process, the random number for reach determination, the random number for variation pattern, the random number for big hit symbol initial value determination, the random number for small hit symbol initial value determination, etc. are updated. As described above, in the non-coincidence random number update process, the software updates random numbers that are not related to the collision judgment (big hit judgment). In addition, the random number for determining a normal symbol, the random number for determining an initial value for determining a normal symbol, the random number for determining a normal pattern, and the like described above are also updated by the non-coincidence random number updating process.

  Following step S56, the main control program returns to step S54 again, determines whether or not there is an input of a power failure advance notification signal, and if there is no input of this power failure notification signal, non-falling random number update processing is performed in step S56. The steps S54 to S56 are repeated. The process of steps S54 to S56 is referred to as "main control side main process".

  On the other hand, when the power failure notice signal is input in step S54, the main control program performs interrupt disable setting (step S58). By this setting, the main control side timer interrupt process to be described later is not performed, the writing to the main control built-in RAM is prevented, and rewriting of the game information is protected.

  Following step S58, the main control program starts outputting a power failure clear signal (step S60). Here, the same process as the process of starting the output of the power failure clear signal in the power failure clear process of step S14 is performed. Thereby, the main control program can release the latch state of the D type flip flop MIC22 under the control of the main control MPU 1310a.

  Subsequent to step S60, the main control program displays the start opening solenoid 2107, the attachment solenoid 2108, the first special symbol display 1403, the second special symbol display 1405, and the first special hold number indicator 1404 shown in FIG. The drive signal output to the second special hold number indicator 1406, the normal symbol indicator 1402, the normal symbol memory indicator 1188, the state indicator 1401, the round indicator 1407, etc. is stopped (step S62).

  Following step S62, the main control program calculates a checksum and stores the calculated value (step S64). This checksum is calculated by regarding the gaming information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM as a numerical value, excluding the storage area of the checksum value (sum value) and the backup flag BK-FLG described above.

  Following step S64, the main control program sets the backup flag BK-FLG to the value 1 (step S66). This completes the storage of game backup information.

  Following step S66, the main control program performs setting of RAM access prohibition (step S68). By the setting of the RAM access prohibition, the main control built-in RAM (game storage unit) can not be accessed, so that the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game storage unit) can be prevented from being updated.

  Following step S68, an infinite loop is entered. In this infinite loop, the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a with respect to the main control built-in WDT 1310af activated in step S12, the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT 1310af is cleared, and the clocking starts again. As a result, the main control MPU 1310 a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af. After that, the main control program again performs the main control side power-on process under the control of the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310. The process of step S58 to step S68 and the infinite loop are referred to as "main control side power-off process".

  The pachinko machine 1 (main control MPU 1310a) is reset when a power failure occurs or when it is momentarily stopped, and the main control side power-on process is performed when the power is restored thereafter.

  In step S30, it is checked whether the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM is normal or not, and in step S32, whether or not the main control side power-off process is ended normally. Is examining. As described above, by double checking the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM, it is checked whether the game backup information is stored by fraud or not.

  Here, the point which performs determination of the presence or absence of the power failure alerting | reporting signal of step S24 following the wait time waiting | standby process of step S22 is demonstrated. First, regarding the problem in the case where there is no determination of the presence or absence of the power failure notice signal in step S24, that is, the case where the value of the RAM clear flag in step S26 is determined following the wait time standby process in step S22 Explain the problems in

  As described above, when a power failure or momentary stoppage occurs and the power supply from the pachinko facility is shut off, the electrolytic capacitor MC2 shown in FIG. 131 is charged to the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a. The charge is applied as +5 V over a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after the occurrence of a power failure or momentary interruption. That is, even if the power supply from the pachinko island facility is shut off due to a momentary power failure or a power failure, the power supply from the pachinko island facility is applied by applying the electric charge charged to the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2 as + 5V. The main control side power-off process can be completed within a period of about 7 ms after it is shut off. This is because when a player is playing a game, that is, when performing a main control side main process or a main control side timer interrupt process to be described later, a power failure or a momentary stoppage occurs and a pachinko island facility When the power is shut off, the main control side power-off process can be reliably completed.

  However, as a very rare phenomenon, in the wait time standby process of step S22 at the time of power return, the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display by the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 of the peripheral control board 1510 shown in FIG. The system waits for the system that performs drawing control of the device 460 to start (boot) (boot timer: 2.5 seconds in this embodiment is set). Then, if an instantaneous blackout or power failure occurs, although the charge charged in the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as +5 V to the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, step S42 is performed within about 7 ms. Interrupt initialization is performed, and then, in step S52, interrupt permission setting is performed. Even if the contents of the main control built-in RAM are updated after the main control side timer interrupt processing to be described later is performed, the main control side power off processing in the main control side power on processing may not be able to be completed. . For this reason, based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM, the value at which the checksum is calculated is not stored, and the main control side power-on process is started again at power recovery.

  Then, the main control side power-on process is started at the time of the current power recovery, and the wait time standby process at step S22 is completed without an instantaneous power failure or power failure, and then the main control built-in RAM is processed at step S28. If the value obtained by calculating the checksum based on the contents of and the value stored in the main control built-in RAM just before the momentary power failure or power failure occur in step S30, the checksum values should match. Instead, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is cleared in step S38. In other words, even if the operation switch 954 is operated by a store clerk or the like at the time of power recovery and there is no intention indication by the store clerk or the like in the hall of RAM clear, the information stored in the main control built-in RAM is forcibly erased (clear There is a problem that will be

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, a process of determining whether or not the power failure advance signal is input is provided as step 24, and when the power failure advance signal is input, Returning to the determination of step S24 again, the determination of step S24 is repeatedly performed as long as the input of the power failure notification signal continues. As a result, the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310 a with respect to the main control built-in WDT 1310 af started in step S12, and the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af is cleared to start counting again As a result, the main control MPU 1310a can be forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT 1310af. Although the value is set to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S18 or step S20 before performing the wait time waiting process of step S22, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is, as described above, mainly As stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the control MPU 1310a, the content (game information) of the main control built-in RAM is not changed at all even if the setting of RAM access permission is made in step S10.

  As described above, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, a process of determining whether or not the power failure notice signal is input is provided as step 24, and when the power failure notice signal is input (that is, step If it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power to the pachinko machine 1 is shut off after waiting in the wait time standby process of S22), the process returns to the determination of step S24 again, as long as the power failure notification signal continues Since it is possible to forcibly reset the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 and restart the main control board 1310 by repeatedly performing the determination of step S24, it is possible to proceed with the game It is not possible to prevent the game information from being updated, and there is no change in the calculation result of the checksum. It has become so that it does not. Thereby, when the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is restarted, it is determined that the calculation result of the checksum in step S28 matches the calculated and stored value of the checksum in step S64. Therefore, the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure, which is stored and held in the main control built-in RAM, is not initialized. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game information from being initialized immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs at the time of power recovery.

  Further, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, a process of determining whether or not a power failure notice signal is input is provided as step 24, and when a power failure notice signal is not input (that is, step S22 When the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is proceeding with the game, if it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power to the pachinko machine 1 is not cut off after waiting in the wait time waiting process, pachinko machine Even if the power to 1 is shut off, backup processing for storing game information according to the progress of the game by supplying power from the electrolytic capacitor MC2 shown in FIG. 131 to the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a. Main composed of the processing of step S58 to step S68, which is Since the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 can complete the control side power off process, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control MPU 1310a calculates the checksum in step S28 when it is restarted. Since it is determined that the result and the calculation result of the checksum in the backup processing (that is, the calculated and stored value of the checksum in step S64) match, the instantaneous value stored and held in the main control internal RAM There is no need to initialize game information immediately before a stop or power failure occurs. That is, the main control board 1310 can be activated by being restored to the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs.

  Further, immediately after the wait time waiting process of step S22, when it is determined in step S24 that a power failure notice signal is input, the main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af, and the contents of the main control built-in RAM It is possible to start the main control side power-off process again without updating the key at all, but immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, when it is determined in step S24 that the power failure notice signal is not input The main control side power-off process can be reliably completed within the "temporary power failure securing period" of about 7 ms by the hardware. That is, in the present embodiment, when the main control side power-on process is performed at the time of power recovery, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs and the power from the pachinko facility is shut off, and the main control MPU 1310 a The charge stored in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 shown in FIG. 131 is applied to the VDD terminal, which is a power supply terminal, as +5 V over a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after a power failure or a momentary stoppage occurs. In the case where the main control side power-off process can not be completed within the "instant power failure or power supply securing period" of about 7 ms due to the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2, the wait time standby process of step S22 is performed. Immediately after that, it is determined whether or not the power failure notification signal is input in step 24. If the power failure notification signal is input, step S2 is performed. The determination in step S24 is repeated as long as the power failure notification signal continues to be input, and the timer in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a for the main control built-in WDT 1310af activated in step S12. The main control MPU 1310a can be forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af by setting the clear setting value, clearing the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af, and not being able to start timing again. There is. Since the main control MPU 1310 a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af by such software, a step after step S 24 (specifically, interrupt initialization is performed in step S 42, and thereafter, in step S 52 It is possible to prevent the contents (gaming information) of the main control built-in RAM from being updated by blocking the progress to the control flow of setting the interrupt permission and starting the main control timer interrupt processing described later. Adopted the mechanism. In this way, when the power supply from the pachinko island facility is shut off due to a power failure or momentary stoppage, the portion covered by software so that the content (game information) of the main control built-in RAM is not changed at all The contents of the main control internal RAM by dividing it into two parts to ensure complete completion of interrupt processing and that the contents (game information) of the main control internal RAM are not changed at all The game information can be reliably prevented from being changed.

  Next, the point will be described where reservation setting of a command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is performed in step S50. In step S50, as described above, based on the power recovery time information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, the power is turned on (power recovery) In order to convey the information, the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command divided into the power-on shown in FIG. 143 are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM. As described above, the power-on main control return destination command is mainly configured of information instructing the drive state of the start port solenoid 2107 and information instructing the drive state of the attacker solenoid 2108 shown in FIG. There is. Here, first, when the power-on main control return destination command does not include the information for instructing the driving state of the start port solenoid 2107 and the information for instructing the driving state of the attacker solenoid 2108 shown in FIG. The problem in step S50, that is, the problem in the case where the reservation of the command to be transmitted when the power is on and the main control return destination command is not performed in the power on in step S50, will be described.

  For example, when the peripheral control board 1510 controls the display of the big hit gaming state screen (for example, the big hit gaming effect screen) in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 shown in FIG. When an emergency stop or a power failure occurs while the special winning opening 2005 shown in FIG. 8 is opened by the opening / closing member 2107 and the main control board 1310 is then In the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in S34, based on the power recovery time information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM, it is restored to the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs. Starting driving of the solenoid 2108 to shift from the state where the big winning opening 2005 is closed by the opening / closing member 2107 to the state where it is opened That.

  However, if a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, the peripheral control substrate 1510 receives various commands from the main control substrate 1310 upon power recovery and returns, so a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. Thereafter, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the probability and the time saving state instructed by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery. However, when the main control board 1310 generates a big hit gaming state as the gaming state, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and then when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 receives the main power control board 1310 at the time of power recovery. Even if it is possible to display the screen in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 and return according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state instructed by the power-on state command received from. It can not be displayed at all which round of the jackpot gaming state. That is, for example, a game winning ball 1 enters a large winning opening 1 count display command that conveys the number of gaming balls that are detected by the count sensor 4005 shown in FIG. Even if the main control board 1310 transmits to the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral control board 1510 receives, the peripheral control board 1510 is the ball of the gaming ball that has entered the big winning opening 2005 on the screen according to the probability and the time saving state. Even if the number can be displayed in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, it can not be displayed at all which round of the big hit gaming state (that is, how many rounds it is).

  In such a situation, when the main control board 1310 ends, for example, the fourth round of the big hit gaming state (the fourth round), the driving of the attachment solenoid 2108 is stopped and the big winning opening 2005 is opened by the opening / closing member 2107 Control from the main control board 1310 a large winning a prize opening 1 closed display command instructing to shift from a closed state to a closed state (that is, start of closing between big winning opening 2005 rounds of starting opening unit 2100) When transmitted to the substrate 1510 and the main control substrate 1310 starts 5 rounds of the big hit gaming state (5th round), the driving of the attachment solenoid 2108 is started and the big winning opening 2005 is closed by the opening / closing member 2107 Transition from the state to the open state (that is, 5 of the big winning opening 2005 To send a special winning opening open the fifth display command instructing the open start) of the eye of the round from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510. Thus, the peripheral control board 1510 switches the screen of the start of the 5 rounds of the big hit gaming state from the screen according to the probability and the time saving state described above, and displays it in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600. It becomes.

  In addition, for example, the game state where the game ball can be accepted to the second start port 2004 becomes a game state that indicates that the game state is advantageous to the player in the game state (for example, the movable piece has been expanded When the peripheral control board 1510 controls display on the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 to display a screen to communicate to the player, the main control board 1310 drives the start opening solenoid 2107 to display the pair shown in FIG. When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs when the movable piece is expanded in the left-right direction, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310 operates in the working area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. Based on the power recovery time information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting, the driving state of the starting opening solenoid 2107 is started by being restored to the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs. And thus the transition to a state of being expanded from a state in which the movable piece of the pair climbed standing substantially perpendicularly to the lateral direction.

  However, if a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, the peripheral control substrate 1510 receives various commands from the main control substrate 1310 upon power recovery and returns, so a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. Thereafter, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery. However, when the main control board 1310 is in the gaming state and the gaming ball is in the gaming state in which the game ball can be received to the second start port 2004 and the gaming state advantageous to the player is generated, a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. When the power is restored after that, the peripheral control board 1510 displays the screen according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state instructed by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the power recovery. Even if it is possible to display and return to the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, the game state becomes possible to receive the game ball to the second start port 2004 and the game state becomes advantageous to the player The peripheral control board 1510 can not display the screen indicating that it is present on the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 at all. Therefore, the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine is surprised that a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and the gaming ball receives the second starting port 2004 immediately before the momentary power failure or a power failure occurs at the time of power recovery. In some cases, it may be forgotten that it is a possible gaming state, and in such a case, the gaming state is restored to the second starting port 2004 as a gaming state at the time of power recovery In spite of that, the screen to instruct the game in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 at the time of power recovery (that is, the screen to instruct the game of entering the game ball into the second starting port 2004) is not displayed. As a result, there is also a problem that the player can not understand what kind of game the player plays.

  As described above, in the two examples described above, there has been a problem that the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure can not be promptly returned after power recovery. In other words, the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine misunderstands that the system of the pachinko machine appears to be in a frozen state, a so-called frozen state, and breaks down when a momentary power failure or power outage occurs There was a problem that.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 is powered on (including power recovery when power is restored due to power failure or momentary power failure, in addition to power on), the power on state command In order to transmit the power-on main control return destination command to the peripheral control board 1510, the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command shown in FIG. And are stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information. These commands are transmitted in the main control timer interrupt process described later.

  Thus, based on the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command received from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control board 1510, for example, in the above-described example, in the fourth round of the big hit gaming state, When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and then the power is restored, the main solenoid valve 2108 starts driving the main control board 1310 as a return destination, and the big winning opening 2005 is released from being closed by the opening / closing member 2107 The peripheral control board 1510 can notify the peripheral control board 1510 that it will shift to the off state, and the peripheral control board 1510 is a screen specifying that it is the fourth round of the big hit gaming state (that is, a screen showing how many round it is. ) Can not be displayed in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, but it is a big hit game state and A screen (for example, “big hit. Big winning opening is open. Big winning opening is open. A game has been opened on the big winning opening. The screen shows that the large winning opening 2005 is open by the opening and closing member 2107. Play a game to make the ball enter the game. ”The message is displayed to the player on the game board side effect display device 1600) and the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine is restored the power. After that, it is possible to instruct a game to make the game ball enter the big winning opening 2005, and for example, in the above-mentioned example, the game becomes a game state where the game ball can be accepted to the second start port 2004 When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs in the game state advantageous to the player, and then the power is restored, the starting port solenoid 2107 is used as the return destination of the main control board 1310. A screen to start driving to indicate that the pair of movable pieces has been expanded in the left-right direction (for example, "the movable piece is expanded. To enter the game ball into the lower starting opening The peripheral control board 1510 displays in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 a message telling the player the message “Please play the game.” To the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine after power recovery The game of entering the game ball into the second starting opening 2004 can be instructed. As a result, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs and the power is restored thereafter, it is possible to finely instruct the return destination of the peripheral control board 1510 on the main control board 1310 side. Therefore, the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure can be promptly returned after power recovery. In other words, the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine misunderstands that the system of the pachinko machine appears to be in a frozen state, a so-called frozen state, and breaks down when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs. Can be prevented.

  Next, in the main control board inspection process, which is an inspection process of a manufacturing line of the main control board 1310, when the main control board 1310 is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, the checksum of step S28. The calculation and the determination of step S30 will be described. In the main control board inspection step, when the main control board 1310 is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, a main composed of the processing of step S58 to step S68 which is the backup processing described above and an infinite loop Since the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 has not executed the control-side power-off process at one time, even if the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM is calculated in step S28, In the comparison determination, there is no possibility that the checksum values should match, and the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is necessarily cleared in step S38. As a result, when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is performed in step S50, the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command divided into the power-on shown in FIG. By storing in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM as transmission information, only the two commands of the power on status command and the power on main control return destination command as transmission information transmit information storage area of the main control internal RAM as transmission information Will be stored in the In these commands, a power on state command is first transmitted in the main control side timer interrupt process to be described later, and then a power on main control return destination command is transmitted. Using this, in the main control board inspection process, when the main control board 1310 is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, the power on state command from the main control board 1310 is taken as the first command. It will be sent to the inspection device of the main control board inspection process.

  By the way, as described above, the power-on state command is as shown in FIG. 124 at the time of power-on (in addition to the case of power-on, it also includes power-on recovery due to power failure or momentary power outage). Information indicating that when the operation switch 954 of the payout control board 951 shown is operated to clear the RAM, and when the power is turned on (other than when the power is turned on, a power failure or a momentary interruption occurs and the power is In the recovery from power recovery, this includes the low probability time short state, the high probability short time state, the low probability short time state, and the high probability short time state, as described above. It is composed of information indicating whether or not to do, and information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine. Here, the problem in the case where the power-on state command does not include the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine will be described.

  As described above, when creating the so-called max type, middle type, sweet digital type as the pachinko machine 1 (precisely, the main control board 1310), the model code of the pachinko machine is for the copyright of any work In addition to the game specification that the game specification is continued until the next big hit game state occurs next when the game specification (for example, probability fluctuation occurs for example), the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol is limited (for example, It is possible to specify whether it is a game specification (so-called ST machine etc.) or the like) in which probability fluctuations occur in a state of being performed 30 times or 70 times).

In the manufacturing line of the maker who manufactures the pachinko machine 1, when manufacturing the main control board 1310, the main control board 1310 with respect to the copyright of a plurality of types of works may be mixed.
Then, the worker of the production line is the master of the copyright of any work among the copyrights of a plurality of kinds of works (for example, the copyright of works such as movie A, movie B, drama C, movie D, cartoon E, and cartoon F). The main control board for one of the copyrights of a plurality of types of works (for example, the copyright of a work of movie D) among the copyrights of a plurality of types of works can not be known whether the main control board 1310 is flowing to the manufacturing line Although the main control board 1310 flows to the manufacturing line to manufacture 1310, the main control board 1310 is used to manufacture the main control board 1310 for another copyright (for example, the copyright for the work of cartoon F). There are also misconceptions and misconceptions that flow to the manufacturing line. For this reason, when manufacturing the main control board 1310 in the manufacturing line of the maker that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control board 1310 for the copyright of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the worker of the manufacturing line It is not possible to confirm to which work copyright the manufactured main control board 1310 belongs, and which model type (max type, middle type, sweet digital type, etc.) for the same work copyright It is also impossible to confirm whether it is a type, and what game specifications (a game specification or a ST machine in which, when probability fluctuations occur, the state is continued until a next big hit gaming state occurs). As a result, when manufacturing the main control substrate 1310 in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control substrate 1310 for the copyrights of multiple types of works coexists, the main control substrate for the copyrights of multiple types of works It will be sent to the game board assembly line for attaching the main control board 1310 to the game board 5 while 1310 is mixed. Therefore, a worker of the game board assembly line may attach the main control board 1310 not corresponding to the game board 5 to the copyright of the work to the game board 5 in some cases. As a result, there is a problem that the production efficiency of the game board 5 is reduced.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 is turned on (in addition to the case where the power is turned on, it also includes the power recovery due to a power failure or a momentary power outage). To transmit to the peripheral control board 1510 a power-on state command including power-on state commands shown in FIG. 143 and divided into the power-on state commands and the power-on main control return destination command shown in FIG. And are stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information. These commands are transmitted in the main control timer interrupt process described later.

  As a result, the operator of the manufacturing line of the manufacturer who manufactures the pachinko machine 1 turns on the main control board 1310 in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the manufacturing line, and the inspection device becomes the main control board 1310. Based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine that is included in the power-on state command received from the device, that is, the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine is configured. And the sweet digital type, the serial code for specifying which type, the copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and the game specification (for example, when probability fluctuation occurs, the next big hit game state is In addition to the game specification that the state is continued until it occurs, the probability fluctuation is in the state that the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol is limited The main control board 1310 is for the copyright of any work by visually observing the detailed model information displayed on the inspection monitor based on the game specification code for specifying the game specification (ST machine etc.) It is possible to determine which model type (max type, middle type, and sweet digital type, which type) the copyright of the same work, and what game specifications It is also possible to determine whether it is a game specification or ST machine in which, when probability change occurs, the state is continued until the next big hit gaming state occurs. As a result, when manufacturing the main control board 1310 in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, even if the main control board 1310 for the copyright of multiple types of works coexists, the main control board inspection process of the manufacturing line The operator can visually distinguish the main control board 1310 for the copyright of the work by being able to accurately determine the model type of the main control board 1310, the copyright of the work, and the game specifications by visually observing the inspection monitor. It can be sent to the game board assembly line. Then, the operator of the game board assembly line can securely attach the main control board 1310 corresponding to the game board 5 for the copyright of the work to the game board 5, and the main control board not compatible with the game board 5 for the copyright of the work It is possible to prevent a decrease in production efficiency of the game board 5 caused by the work of attaching 1310 to the game board 5. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of the production efficiency of the game board 5.

[14-3. Main control timer interrupt processing]
Next, the main control timer interrupt process will be described. The main control timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (4 ms in the present embodiment) set in the main control power-on process shown in FIGS.

  When the main control side timer interrupt process is started, in the main control board 1310, the main control program switches the register bank as shown in FIG. 148 under the control of the main control MPU 1310a (step S100). The general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a has two register banks including a first register bank and a second register bank. The first register bank is used in the main control main process in the main control side power-on process described above, while the first register bank is used in the main control timer interrupt process which is this routine. In step S100, in order to use the second register bank in the main control side timer interrupt process which is this routine, the first register bank used in the main control main process in the main control side power on process is selected from the first register bank Switch the register bank to the register tank of. In the present embodiment, when the main control timer interrupt process, which is this routine, is started, the process of saving each register to the stack is not necessary.

Subsequent to step S100, the main control program performs timer subtraction processing (step S102). In this timer subtraction process, for example, a time during which the first special symbol display 1403 and the second special symbol display 1405 are lighted in accordance with the special symbol to be described later and the variation pattern determined in the special electric character control process, an ordinary symbol to be described later And, in addition to the time when the normal symbol display 1402 lights up according to the normal symbol variation pattern determined in the normal motor combination control process, the payout control substrate 951 is normal with various commands transmitted by the main control substrate 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) When it is determined whether or not the payer ACK signal for notifying that it has been received is input, time management such as an ACK signal input determination time set as the determination condition is performed.
Specifically, when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation pattern is 5 seconds, the timer interruption period is set to 4 ms, so the fluctuation time is subtracted by 4 ms each time this timer subtraction processing is performed, When the subtraction result becomes the value 0, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation pattern is accurately measured.

  In the present embodiment, the ACK signal input determination time is set to 100 ms. Each time the timer subtraction processing is performed, the ACK signal input determination time is reduced by 4 ms, and when the subtraction result becomes 0, the ACK signal input determination time is accurately counted. The various times and the ACK signal input determination time are stored as time management information in the time management information storage area of the main control built-in RAM.

  Subsequent to step S102, the main control program performs switch input processing (step S104). In this switch input process, various signals input to input terminals of various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Specifically, the main control program detects, for example, a detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 4020 or 4020 shown in FIG. 123 which detects the game ball entering the general winning opening 2001 or 2201 shown in FIG. Detecting the game ball entering the big winning opening 2005 shown in FIG. 8 The detection signal from the count sensor 4005 shown in FIG. 123 detects the game ball entering the first starting opening 2002 shown in FIG. The detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 4002 shown in FIG. 123, the detection signal from the second starting opening sensor 4004 shown in FIG. 123 which detects the game ball entering the second starting opening 2004 shown in FIG. The detection signal from the gate sensor 4003 shown in FIG. 123 which detects the game ball which has passed through the gate unit 2003 shown in FIG. 8 and the magnet which detects the cheating using the magnet shown in FIG. The payout ACK signal from the payout control board 951 which indicates that the payout control board 951 shown in FIG. 123 has normally received the detection signal from the detection sensor 4024 and the prize ball command transmitted in the prize ball control processing described later. Each is read and stored as input information in the input information storage area. In addition, the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 4002 which detects the game ball which entered the first starting opening 2002, the detection from the second starting opening sensor 4004 which detects the game ball which entered the second starting opening 2004 When each signal is read, the start opening winning command classified in the other shown in FIG. 144 corresponding to this is stored as the transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above. That is, when there is a detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 4002, the corresponding starting opening winning command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area, and there is a detection signal from the second starting opening sensor 4004. The start-up winning command corresponding to this is stored in the transmission information storage area as transmission information.

  In this embodiment, detection signals from general winning opening sensors 4020 and 4020 for detecting gaming balls entering the general winning openings 2001 and 2201, and count sensors 4005 for detecting gaming balls entering the large winning opening 2005. Detection signal from the first starting opening 2002, detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 4002 for detecting gaming balls entering the second starting opening 2002, second starting opening sensor 4004 for detecting the gaming balls entering the second starting opening 2004 The detection signal from the gate and the detection signal from the gate sensor 4003 for detecting gaming balls that have passed through the gate unit 2003 are first read as the first time when the switch input processing is started, for a predetermined time (for example, 10 μs) After the lapse, it is read again as the second time. Then, the result of the second reading is compared with the result of the first reading. Among the comparison results, it is determined whether there is one that is the same result. If the result is not the same, the result is further read again as the third time, and the result of the third read is compared with the result of the second read. Among the comparison results, it is determined again whether or not there is the same result. If the result is not the same, it is read again as the fourth time, and the result of the fourth read is compared with the result of the third read. Among the comparison results, it is determined again whether or not there is the same result. We treat the same result and the one that there is no game ball entering.

  Thus, in the switch input process, the main control program detects the detection signals from the general winning opening sensors 4020 and 4020, the count sensor 4005, the first starting opening sensor 4002, the second starting opening sensor 4004, and the gate sensor 4003 The effect of chattering, noise, etc. is achieved by performing two readings in total: two readings comparing the first to third times and two readings comparing the second to fourth times. Since false detection can be avoided, detection signals from the general winning opening sensors 4020 and 4020, the count sensor 4005, the first starting opening sensor 4002, the second starting opening sensor 4004, and the gate sensor 4003 Reliability can be improved.

  Subsequent to step S104, the main control program performs a false random number update process (step S106). In this success random number update process, the above-mentioned random number for big hit symbols and the random number for small hit symbols are updated. Moreover, in addition to these random numbers, random numbers for jackpot symbol initial value determination updated in the non-incident random number update process of step S56 in the main control side power-on process (main control side main process) shown in FIG. And the random number for the initial value decision for small hitting design is renewed. The random number for determining the initial value for the big hit symbol and the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol are further improved in the main control side main processing and the main control side timer interrupt processing by being updated in randomness. . On the other hand, since the big hit symbol random number and the small hit symbol random number are random numbers involved in the hit determination (big hit determination), each counter counts up only when the hit random number update processing is performed. In addition, the random number per normal symbol determination described above and the random number per normal symbol determination initial value determination random number are also updated by this success random number update processing.

  For example, as described above, the counter for updating the random number per pattern determination is an initial value updating type counter, and is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and this minimum value Is incremented by one each time the main control timer interrupt process is performed. The symbol is counted up from the random number for determining the initial value for determining the normal pattern to the maximum value, and then it is counted up from the minimum value toward the random number for determining the initial value for determining the normal pattern. When the counter has counted up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the random number per symbol normal determination, the random number for big hit determination is updated by this success random number update process. The random number for determining the initial value per normal symbol can be obtained by executing the initial value lottery processing which randomly selects one value from the fixed numerical range of the counter for updating the random number for determining normal per symbol normally. .

  In this embodiment, the random number for the big hit symbol initial value determination and the random number for the small hit symbol initial value determination are not displayed in step S56 in the main control side power on process (main control side main process) shown in FIG. Although updating is performed in the current random number update processing and the main control side timer interrupt processing that is the main routine in step S106 in the main control side timer interrupt processing, the processing time of the present routine is uneven every time the interrupt timer is generated. If the number of executions of the non-match random number update process in step S56 becomes random by repeatedly executing the main control side main process within the remaining time until the generation of the interrupt timer, the random number for determining the initial value of the jackpot symbol And as a mechanism to update the random number for the initial value determination for small hit symbols only in the non-falling random number update process in step S56. .

  Subsequent to step S106, the main control program performs a winning ball control process (step S108). In this prize ball control process, while reading out input information from the above-mentioned input information storage area and creating a prize ball command shown in FIG. 142 for paying out gaming balls based on the input information, payout is made as a prize ball If the number of scheduled game balls has reached 10, the output of the main prize ball number information output signal is set to convey that effect, and is stored in the output information storage area as output information, or The self check command shown in FIG. 142 for confirming the connection state between the control substrate 1310 and the delivery control substrate 951 is created. Then, the prize ball command and the self-check command that have been created are transmitted to the payout control board 951 as main payment serial data. For example, when one game ball enters the big winning opening 2005 shown in FIG. 8, the ball number of the game ball scheduled to be paid out as a prize ball is created as well as creating a prize ball command to pay out 15 balls as a prize ball. Has reached 10 balls, so set the output of the main prize ball number information output signal to convey that effect, store it as output information in the output information storage area, and send the prize ball command to the payout control board 951. Or when the payout ACK signal notifying that the payout control substrate 951 has received the award ball command normally is not input within a predetermined time, the connection state between the main control substrate 1310 and the payout control substrate 951 is confirmed. Create a self-check command to be sent to the payout control board 951 or the like. In addition, as in the case of creating a prize ball command to pay out 15 balls as a prize ball, when the number of game balls to be paid out as a prize ball exceeds 10 balls, the number of balls exceeded is the next time this is exceeded In the prize ball control process, the input information is read out from the above-described input information storage area, and the number of balls of the game ball scheduled to be paid out as a prize ball is added based on the input information. When has reached, the output of the main prize ball number information output signal is set to convey that effect, and is stored as the output information in the output information storage area.

Subsequent to step S108, the main control program performs frame command reception processing (step S110). On the payout control board 951, the payout control program is various commands of 1 byte (8 bits) divided into the status display shown in FIG. 145 (for example, frame status 1 command, error cancellation navi command, and frame status 2 command) Send On the other hand, as described later, the payout control program outputs an error occurrence command when an error occurs in the payout operation, or outputs an error cancellation navi command based on a detection signal of the operation switch 954.
In the frame command reception process described above, when the main control program normally receives the various commands as the payee serial data, the information for conveying the fact to the payout control board 951 is stored as the output information of the output information of the main control internal RAM. Store in the area. Also, the main control program reshapes the command normally received as the payee serial data into a 2-byte (16-bit) command (various commands classified into the status display in FIG. 144 (frame status 1 command, error cancellation The navigation command and the frame state 2 command) are stored as the transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above. Here, the frame status 1 command corresponds to a first error generation command, and the error release navigation command corresponds to a first error release command.

  Subsequent to step S110, the main control program performs a fraudulent operation detection process (step S112). In this fraudulent action detection process, the abnormal state regarding the winning balls is confirmed. For example, when the input information is read out from the above-described input information storage area and the detection signal from the count sensor 4005 is input when the game is not in the big hit gaming state (when the game ball enters the big winning opening 2005) A prize failure display command divided into the notification display shown in FIG. 144 as an abnormal state is created, and is stored in the transmission information storage area described above as transmission information.

  Subsequent to step S112, the main control program performs a special symbol and special electric combination product control process (step S114). In this special symbol and special motorized product control process, a latch signal is output to the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310 an shown in FIG. 123, and the random number extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit 1310 an when the latch signal is input. The (random number value) is acquired from a hard random number latch register incorporated in the main control built-in main control MPU 1310a, and the acquired random number value is set as a jackpot determination random number. Then, whether or not the big hit judgment random number (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control built-in main control MPU 1310a) matches the big hit decision value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM. It is determined whether the jackpot gaming state is to be generated or not (referred to as "special lottery") or the value of the counter for updating the jackpot symbol random number is taken out and stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM It is determined whether or not it agrees with the probability variation hit determination value (determination of whether or not to generate a probability variation). Here, “probability fluctuation” means that the probability of hitting a jackpot changes to a high probability (probability variation) set higher than that at normal time (low probability). In the present embodiment, values 32668 to 32767 are set as the range (big hit determination range) of the above-described big hit determination values with low probability and are read out from the normal determination table, while the value is 31768 with high probability. A value of 32767 is set and read out from the probability variation judgment table. Thus, in the special symbol and special motorized product control process in step S114, the jackpot determination random number (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control built-in main control MPU 1310a) and the built-in main control When it is determined whether or not the jackpot judgment value stored in advance in the ROM matches, the jackpot judgment random number (that is, a random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control built-in main control MPU 1310a) It is performed depending on whether or not it is included in the big hit judgment range.

  When these determination results are based on the first starting opening sensor 4002, various commands related to the special figure 1 tuning effect shown in FIG. 143 are created, while the lottery results are based on the second starting opening sensor 4004. In some cases, various commands related to special figure 2 tuning effect shown in FIG. 143 are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area, and the first special symbol display according to the determined variation pattern of the special symbol Set the output of the lighting signal to the first special symbol display 1403 or the second special symbol display 1405 so as to light the 1403 or the second special symbol display 1405, and store it as the output information in the above-mentioned output information storage area . In addition, according to the game state to be generated, for example, when becoming a big hit game state, various commands (big hit opening command, big winning opening 1 open Nth display command, big winning opening 1 shown in FIG. 143 divided into big hit related A close display command, a big winning opening 1 count display command, a big hit ending command, and a big hit symbol display command) are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area, or the opening / closing member 2107 shown in FIG. Set the output of the drive signal to the attacker solenoid 2108 and store it as output information in the output information storage area, or when the number of times the big winning opening 2005 changes from the closed state to the open state (round) is two, To turn on the 2 round indicator lamp 1407a of the round indicator 1407 shown in 10 The output of the lighting signal to the round display lamp 1407a is set, and stored as output information in the output information storage area, or when the round is 15 times, the 15 round display lamp 1407b of the round display 1407 shown in FIG. The output of the lighting signal to the 15-round display lamp 1407b is set to light up, and is stored in the output information storage area as output information, or the presence or absence of occurrence of probability fluctuation is lighted in a predetermined color. The output of the lighting signal is set and stored as output information in the output information storage area.

  Subsequent to step S114, the main control program performs normal symbol and normal motorized product control processing (step S116). In this ordinary symbol and ordinary motor combination control process, input information is read out from the above-described input information storage area, and gate winning processing is performed based on the input information. In this gate winning process, it is determined from the input information whether or not a detection signal from the gate sensor 4003 has been input to the input terminal. Based on the determination result, when the detection signal is input to the input terminal, the value etc. of the counter for updating the above-mentioned random number per symbol for determination is extracted and gate information storage area of the main control internal RAM as gate information Remember to

  In this gate information storage area, the 0th to third partitions (four partitions) are provided, and gate information is stored in the order of the 0th partition, the first partition, the second partition, and the third partition. It is supposed to be. For example, when gate information is stored in the 0th to 2nd sections of the gate information storage, the gate information is stored in the 3rd section of the gate information storage when the detection signal from the gate sensor 4003 is input to the input terminal Do.

  The gate information stored in the zeroth section of the gate information storage is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. When this gate information is set, the gate information of the first section of the gate information storage is to the 0th section of the gate information storage, the gate information of the second section of the gate information storage is to the first The gate information of the third section of the information storage is shifted to the second section of the gate information storage, and the third section of the gate information storage becomes an empty area. For example, when gate information is stored in the first to second sections of the gate information storage, the gate information of the first section of the gate information storage is stored in the zeroth section of the gate information storage. The gate information of the two partitions is shifted to the first partition of the gate information storage, and the second partition of the gate information storage and the third partition of the gate information storage become vacant areas. Here, when the gate information is stored in the first to third sections of the gate information storage, the gate information described above causes the normal symbol storage indicator 1188 to light up with the total number of stored gate information as a holding ball. The output of the lighting signal of the normal symbol storage indicator 1188 is set based on the above, and stored as the output information in the above-mentioned output information storage area.

  Following the gate winning process, the gate information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM is read out, and the value of the random symbol determination per normal symbol is taken out from the read gate information and stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM. It is determined whether or not it matches the normal symbol hit determination value (referred to as "normal lottery"). Whether to open and close the movable piece or not is determined based on the determination result (lottery result from the normal lottery). When the opening and closing operation is performed by this determination, the pair of movable pieces is expanded in the left and right direction, and the game ball can be received by the second start opening 2004, which is advantageous to the player. It becomes gaming state. The variation pattern of the normal symbol corresponding to this determination is determined based on the random number for the normal symbol variation pattern described above, and various commands classified into the general drawing tuning effect related shown in FIG. 143 are created and described as transmission information The output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display 1402 is set so as to light the normal symbol display 1402 according to the determined variation pattern of the normal symbol while storing in the transmission information storage area, and the output information storage described above as output information Store in the area. Also, for example, when the value of the random number for determining the normal symbol taken out matches the determination value for the normal symbol stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, various commands relating to the ordinary electric circuit production shown in FIG. Is stored in the transmission information storage area as transmission information, and the output of the drive signal to the starting port solenoid 2107 is set to open and close the movable piece, and is stored in the above-described output information storage area as output information If the value of the random number for judging the selected standard symbol does not match the judgment value for the normal symbol stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, the normal symbol fluctuation pattern based on the random number for the ordinary symbol fluctuation pattern described above Transmission information storage described above as transmission information. The output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display 1402 is set to light the normal symbol display 1402 according to the determined normal symbol fluctuation pattern while storing in the area, and stored as the output information in the above-mentioned output information storage area .

  Following step S116, the main control program performs port output processing (step S118). In this port output process, output information is read from the output information storage area described above from the output terminals of various output ports of the main control MPU 1310a, and various signals are output based on the output information. The main control program is, for example, based on the output information, and when the various commands from the payout control board 951 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310a, the main payout ACK signal is output to the payout control board 951. When it is a big hit game state, it outputs a drive signal to the attacker solenoid 2108 that opens and closes the opening and closing member 2107 of the big winning opening 2005, and outputs a drive signal to the start aperture solenoid 2107 that opens and closes the movable piece. In addition to outputting, main prize ball number information output signal, 15 round big hit information output signal, 2 round big hit information output signal, probability fluctuation in-progress information output signal, special symbol display information output signal, normal symbol display information output signal, Various information about the game such as time information output information, starting opening winning information output signal And it outputs a broadcast) signal to the payout control board 951.

  Subsequent to step S118, the main control program performs peripheral control board command transmission processing (step S120). In the peripheral control board command transmission process, the main control program reads transmission information from the transmission information storage area described above, and transmits the transmission information to the peripheral control board 1510 as main cycle serial data. In this transmission information, various commands classified in the special figure 1 tuning effect related shown in FIG. 143 created in the main control timer interrupt processing which is this routine, various types classified in the special figure 2 synchronous effect related When the gaming ball entered the various commands (for example, large winning a prize mouth 2005 (see Figure 8) which is classified to command, big hit relation is detected, it is the big winning based on the detection signal from count sensor 4005 (see Figure 123) Large winning opening 1 count display command corresponding to the mouth count command), various commands divided into power-on, various commands classified into general drawing entrainment related, various commands classified into ordinary electric wave connection related, figure 144 The various commands (door open command, door frame close command, body frame open command, body frame close command, etc.) classified into the notification display shown in Min is the various commands (frame state 1 command, error reset navigation command and the frame state 2 command), various commands and various commands are classified into other are divided into test-related are stored. In the main cycle serial data, one packet is configured into 3 bytes. Specifically, the main cycle serial data has a status indicating the type of command having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), a mode indicating a variation of effects having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), and a status And a sum value obtained by calculating the sum of the modes as numerical values, and this sum value is created at the time of transmission.

  In this peripheral control board command transmission process, the main control program transmits to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value, which configures various commands as main cycle serial data. As described above, when a power failure or an instantaneous stop occurs, the charge stored in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 shown in FIG. 131 is applied as +5 V to the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a. Therefore, the main cycle serial transmission port 1310ae built in the main control MPU 1310a shown in FIG. 133 shifts at least the command set by the main control CPU core 1310aa in the transmission buffer register 1310aeb by using the serial management unit 1310aec The data can be transferred to the register 41aea, and transmission can be completed from the transmission shift register 1310aea as the main cycle serial data. When a power failure is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power outage, in the reservation setting of the command to be sent when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control power-on process shown in FIG. Because the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command shown in FIG. 143, which are classified as power on, are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM. The power-on state command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value as main cycle serial data, and then the power-on main control return destination command is formed, status, It transmits to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of the mode and then the sum value. In the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, the game information is read from the game backup information in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the main control side power-on process. Various commands may be stored. In such a case, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information is completed, the power on state command and the power on main control return destination command are subsequently transmitted.

  In this peripheral control board command transmission process, when the main control program receives a frame state 1 command (first error occurrence command) from the payout control board 951 by the reception port of the RXA terminal, the peripheral control board 1510 (effect control unit And the frame state 1 command (second error generation command) is transmitted (error command transmission means). In this case, the main control program transfers the frame state 1 command in the form shown in FIG. 145 received from the payout control board 951 to the peripheral control board 1510 as the frame state 1 command in the form shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, in the peripheral control board command transmission process, when the main control program receives an error cancellation navigation command (first error cancellation command) from the payout control board 951 via the reception port of the RXA terminal, the peripheral control board 1510 An error release navi command (second error release command) is transmitted to the (error command sending means). In this case, the main control program transfers the error release navi command in the form shown in FIG. 145 received from the payout control board 951 to the peripheral control board 1510 as the error release navi command in the form shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, in this peripheral control board command transmission process, when the main control program receives the main body frame open command (first main body frame open command) from the payout control board 951 via the reception port of the RXA terminal, the peripheral control board 1510 A main body frame open command (second main body frame open command) is transmitted to (effect control unit) (main body frame command transmission means, second main body frame transmission means). In this case, the main control program transfers the main frame opening command in the form shown in FIG. 145 received from the payout control board 951 to the peripheral control board 1510 as the main frame opening command in the form shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the peripheral control board command transmission process, when the main control program receives the main body frame closing command (first main body frame closing command) from the payout control board 951 via the reception port of the RXA terminal, the peripheral control board 1510 ( A main body frame closing command (second main body frame closing command) is transmitted to the effect control unit) (main body frame command transmission means, second main body frame command transmission means). In this case, the main control program transfers the main frame closing command in the form shown in FIG. 145 received from the payout control board 951 to the peripheral control board 1510 as the main frame closing command in the form shown in FIG.

  In the peripheral control board command transmission process, when the main control program receives a door open command (first door open command) from the payout control board 951 through the reception port of the RXA terminal, the peripheral control board 1510 (effect control) Section) sends a door open command (second door frame open command) (door frame command transmission means, second door frame command transmission means). In this case, the main control program transfers the door frame closing command in the form shown in FIG. 145 received from the payout control board 951 to the peripheral control board 1510 as the door closing command in the form shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the peripheral control board command transmission process, when the main control program receives the door closing command (first door closing command) from the payout control board 951 by the reception port of the RXA terminal, the peripheral control board 1510 (effect control) Section) sends a door closing command (second door closing command) (a door frame command sending means, a second door frame command sending means). In this case, the main control program transfers the door closing command in the form shown in FIG. 145 received from the payout control board 951 to the peripheral control board 1510 as the door closing command in the form shown in FIG.

  Following step S120, the main control program clears the main control built-in WDT 1310af shown in FIG. 123 (step S122), and ends this routine. In step S22, the main control built-in WDT 1310af is cleared by setting a timer clear set value in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a. As a result, the clocking by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af is cleared. Then, the timing by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af starts again, so that the main control MPU 1310 a does not have to be forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT 1310 af.

  Note that, as described above, when the main control board 1310 is in the process of proceeding with the game, the above-described backup for storing the game information by the progress of the game before the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off The process can be executed and completed, and at the time of power recovery, the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is shut off based on the game information for which the backup process has been executed as a return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command shown in FIG. 143 is sent to the peripheral control board 1510 to indicate the drive state of the start port solenoid 2107 and the attacker solenoid 2108 which are electrical drive sources by the port output process of step S118 in this routine. It is possible to output to. That is, in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control side power on process in FIG. 147, the main control board 1310 mainly sets the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the same process. Based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the control built-in RAM, the power on status command divided into the power on status in Fig. 143 and the power on status are reported to notify that power has been switched on (power recovery). A control return destination command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM, and in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in this routine, the power on state command as the main cycle serial data. Transmit to the peripheral control board 1510 in the following order: status, mode, and sum value; There are constituting the main control return destination command at power-transmitting status, mode, and a peripheral control board 1510 in the order of thumb value. Therefore, based on the power-on main control return destination command from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control board 1510 returns the game progress by the main control board 1310 at the time of power return to the game board side effect display device 1600. The effect can be displayed in the display area of By this, when the player is playing a game, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and then when the power is restored, the gaming state immediately before the momentary power loss or power failure is restored promptly after power recovery. In addition, since it is possible to display and notify of the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, the state of the system of the pachinko machine 1 is so-called freeze It is possible to prevent the player from being mistaken for being in a broken state as he sees. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being misunderstood by returning to the gaming state immediately before a momentary power failure or a power failure, and returning promptly after power recovery.

  Further, in the main control board inspection step which is an inspection step of the manufacturing line of the main control board 1310, when the power of the main control board 1310 is first turned on after being manufactured for inspection, as described above, In step S38 in the main control side power-on process, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is necessarily cleared. Thereby, in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 in the same process, when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on, the power-on state command divided into the power-on shown in FIG. And a power-on main control return destination command are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, two commands of a power-on state command and a power-on main control return destination command Is stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control internal RAM as transmission information, and in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in this routine, the power on state command is configured as the main cycle serial data. Inspection of main control board inspection process in order of status, mode, and sum value Send apparatus, followed by forming the main control return destination command at power-transmitting status, mode, and the inspection apparatus of the main control board inspection process in the order of thumb value. The inspection device of the main control board inspection process constructs information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine included in the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 The above-mentioned series code for identifying which of the max type, middle type, and sweet digital type that indicates the model type, the copyright code for identifying the copyright of the work, and the game specification (For example, in addition to the game specification that the state is continued until the next big hit gaming state occurs when the probability change occurs, the game specification that the probability change occurs in the state where the number of times of the special symbol change is limited Machine) and display detailed model information on the inspection monitor of the main control board inspection process based on the game specification code for identifying It has become.

[15-1. Processing when the dispensing control unit is turned on]
When the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the payout control program in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951 turns on the payout control unit as shown in FIGS. 149 to 151 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. Perform time processing. When the payout control unit power-on process is started, the payout control program causes the payout control MPU 952a to set an interrupt mode (step S500). This interrupt mode is to set the priority of the interrupt of the payout control MPU 952a. In the present embodiment, a payout control unit timer interrupt process described later is set to the highest priority, and when an interrupt of the payout control unit timer interrupt process occurs, the process is preferentially performed.

  Following step S500, the payout control program performs input / output setting (input / output setting of I / O) (step S502). In this I / O input / output setting, various input ports and various output ports of the payout control MPU 952a are set.

  Subsequent to step S502, the payout control program performs weight timer process 1 (step S506), and determines whether or not a power failure notice signal is input (step S508). The voltage does not rise immediately between the time the power is turned on and the predetermined voltage. On the other hand, when a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs (a phenomenon in which the supply of power temporarily stops), if the voltage drops and becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. A notice signal (delivery blackout notice signal) is input. Similarly, when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure warning voltage during the period from the power-on to the predetermined voltage, a power failure notification signal (payout failure notification signal) is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310 e of the main control board 1310. Therefore, wait timer process 1 in step S506 is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the power failure notice voltage and becomes stable after power on. In the present embodiment, 200 milliseconds (wait timer) is used as a waiting time (wait timer). ms) is set. The determination in step S508 is performed based on the power failure notification signal (payout failure notification signal) from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310.

  Subsequent to step S508, the payout control program determines whether the operation switch 954 is operated (step S512). This determination is based on the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954, and when the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 is HI, it is determined that it does not instruct to clear the RAM and the operation switch When it is determined that the instruction to perform the RAM clear is instructed when the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 is LOW while it is determined that the operation switch 954 is not operated, and the operation switch 954 is operated. judge.

  When the operation switch 954 is operated in step S512, the payout control program sets the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG to the value 1 (step S514). That is, the payout control program can execute the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (hereinafter, referred to as "RAM with built-in payout control") built in the payout control MPU 952a for a predetermined time from when the power is turned on. State (the discharge control side power on operation control means). On the other hand, when the operation switch 954 is not operated in step S512, the payout control program sets the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG to the value 0 (step S516). The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is stored in the payout control built-in RAM (payout storage unit) of the payout control MPU 952a, for example, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas (for example, The number of ball stock numbers PBS, the number of real ball counts PB, the number of drive commands DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. stored in the prize ball information storage area, the logic of the PRDY signal logic stored in the CR communication information storage area This flag is a flag indicating whether or not to delete the payout information related to the payout of the PRDY signal output setting information etc. in which the state is set, and is set to 1 when the payout information is erased and to 0 when the payout information is not erased. Be done. The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG set in step S514 and step S516 is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the payout control MPU 952a.

  Following step S514 or step S516, the payout control program performs setting for permitting access to the payout control internal RAM (step S518). By this setting, the payout control built-in RAM can be accessed, and for example, writing (storage) or reading of the payout information can be performed.

  Following step S518, the payout control program sets a stack pointer (step S520). The stack pointer indicates, for example, an address stacked on the stack to temporarily store the contents of a storage element (register) in use, or temporarily returns the return address of this routine when the subroutine is ended and the process returns to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked. In step S520, an initial address is set in the stack pointer, and the contents of the register, the return address, etc. are stacked on the stack from this initial address. Then, the stack pointer returns to the initial address by sequentially reading from the stack stacked last to the stack stacked first.

  Following step S520, the payout control program determines whether or not the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG has a value of 0 (step S522). As described above, the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is set to a value 1 when the payout information is erased, and to a value 0 when the payout information is not erased.

  When it is determined in step S522 that the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when the payout information is not erased, the payout control program calculates a checksum (step S524). This checksum is to calculate the total by regarding the payout information stored in the payout control built-in RAM as a numerical value.

  Subsequent to step S524, the payout control program determines whether the calculated checksum value matches the checksum value stored in the payout control unit power-off process (described at power-off) described later. (Step S526). If they match, the payout control program determines whether the payout backup flag HBK-FLG has a value 1 (step S528). The payout backup flag HBK-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not payout backup information such as the payout information and the checksum value is stored and held in the payout control internal RAM in the payout control unit power-off process described later. The value is set to 1 when the control unit power-off process is ended normally, and to 0 when the payout control unit power-off process is not ended normally.

  When the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is 1 in step S528, that is, when the payout control unit power-off process is ended normally, the payout control program sets the working area of the payout control internal RAM as the power recovery time. (Step S530). In this setting, in addition to the value 0 being set to the payout backup flag HBK-FLG, information at the time of power recovery is read out from a ROM built in the payout control MPU 952a (hereinafter referred to as "dispense control built-in ROM"). This power recovery information is set in the work area of the payout control internal RAM. Thus, the above-described payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas, and the like (for example, an award stored in the prize ball information storage area) PRDY signal output setting information in which the logic state of the PRDY signal is set, which is stored in the ball stock number PBS, real ball count PB, drive command number DRV, mismatch counter INCC, etc. and CR communication information storage area Information to be used for various processes is set based on the payout information related to the payout of the inconsistency counter reset determination time etc. stored in the time management information storage area. Note that “power recovery” includes the state where power is turned on after the power is shut off, as well as the state where power is restored after a power failure or momentary power failure.

  On the other hand, when the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is not 0 (is the value 1) in step S522, that is, when the payout information is erased, or the checksum values do not match in step S526, or When the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is not 1 (value 0) in S528, that is, when the payout control unit power-off process has not ended normally, the payout control program executes the entire area of the payout control internal RAM. It clears (step S532). That is, the payout control program executes the payout control side RAM clear processing in response to the detection of the operation signal of the operation switch 954 (payout control side power on operation control means). As a result, the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is cleared.

  Following step S532, the payout control program sets a work area of the payout control internal RAM as an initial setting (step S534). In this setting, initial information is read out from the dispensing control built-in ROM, and this initial information is set in the working area of the dispensing control built-in RAM.

  Subsequent to step S530 or step S534, the payout control program performs interrupt initialization (step S536). This setting is to set an interrupt cycle when a payout control unit timer interrupt process described later is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 2 ms.

  Subsequent to step S536, the payout control program performs interrupt permission setting (step S538). With this setting, the payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed at the interrupt cycle set in step S536, that is, every 2 ms.

  Following step S538, the payout control program sets the value A in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S539). The value A, the value B and the value C are sequentially set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL to clear the watchdog timer.

  Following step S539, the payout control program determines whether or not a power failure advance notification signal (payout failure notification signal) is input (step S540). As described above, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut down or a power failure or a momentary stop occurs, the power failure notification signal (payout failure notification signal) is sent to the main control board 1310 as a power failure notification when the voltage falls below the power failure notification voltage. Is input from the blackout monitoring circuit 1310e. The determination in step S540 is performed based on the power failure advance signal.

  If there is no input of the power failure advance notice signal in step S540, the payout control program determines whether the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is equal to 1 (step S542). The 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag that counts 2 ms in the dispensing control unit timer interrupt processing that is processed every 2 ms, which will be described later. It is set.

  If the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is 0 in step S542, that is, if 2 ms has not elapsed, the process returns to step S540, and the payout control program determines whether or not the blackout notice signal (payout blackout notice signal) is input. Determine

  On the other hand, when the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is 1 in step S542, that is, 2 ms has elapsed, the payout control program sets the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG to the value 0 (step S544).

  Following step S544, the payout control program sets the value B in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S546). At this time, the value B is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL following the value A set in step S539.

  Following step S546, the payout control program performs port output processing (step S548). In this port output process, various information is read out from the output information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and various signals are outputted from the output terminals of various output ports of the payout control MPU 952a based on the various information. In the output information storage area, for example, payer ACK information that indicates that various commands related to the payout from the main control board 1310 (a prize ball command and a self check command shown in FIG. 142) have been received normally, a payout motor 834 There are stored various information such as drive information for performing drive control, winning ball number information of the number of balls for which the payout motor 834 has actually paid out game balls, and LED display information to be displayed on the error LED indicator 860b. When various commands relating to the payout from the main control board 1310 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a based on the output information, a payout ACK signal is output to the main control board 1310, or a payout motor The drive signal is output to 834 or the payout motor 834 actually pays out the number of balls for which the game balls have been paid out. (In this embodiment, the payout ball number information signal is output to the external terminal board 784 every time the payout motor 834 actually pays out 10 game balls.) Concretely, Is provided with a counter for determining the number-of-awards information signal output for outputting the number-of-awards information, and the counter for determining the number-of-awards information signal output is provided for the game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 834. The ball number is counted based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 shown in FIG. 124 in the port input process of step S550 described later, and the payout motor 834 actually counts the ball number of the gaming ball paid out. It is stored and updated in the award ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM by a process (program) (not shown) for monitoring The ball of the gaming ball which the payout motor 834 actually paid out A process (program) (not shown) for monitoring the value of the prize ball number information signal output determination counter stored in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM is shown in FIG. Based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 shown in 124, the number of balls of the gaming balls actually paid out by the payout motor 834 is added and stored and updated in step S548, from the winning ball information storage area to the winning balls. The value of the number information signal output determination counter is read out, and when the read value of the read ball number information signal output determination counter exceeds the value 10, the prize ball number information signal is output to the external terminal board 784, The exceeded ball number is stored and updated in the above-mentioned award ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as the value of the prize ball number information signal output determination counter. ing. And outputs an indication signal to the error LED indicator 860b.

  Following step S548, the payout control program performs port input processing (step S550). In this port input process, various signals input to the input terminals of the various input ports of the payout control MPU 952a are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the payout control internal RAM. For example, an operation signal of the operation switch 954, a detection signal from the rotation detection sensor 840, a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842, a detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279, a BRQ signal from the CR unit 6, a BRDY signal and a CR connection A signal, a main payment ACK signal from the main control board 1310 for notifying that the main control board 1310 has normally received various commands transmitted in the command transmission processing described later, etc. are read respectively, and stored as input information in the input information storage area Do.

  Following step S550, the payout control program performs a timer update process (step S552). In this timer update process, when it is determined whether or not the ball is in a state of being blinded by the dispensing rotating body to which the rotation of the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 834 is transmitted, the sphere being set as the determination condition is determined The time, the skip determination time set when the fixed position determination of the payout rotating body is not performed, and the ball removal determination set when discharging the game balls stored in the prize ball tank 720 and the tank rail 803 When it is determined whether or not the storage space of the far cover unit 270 shown in FIG. 1 is full with the storage space stored therein, the full tank determination time set as the determination condition, the ball out detection, etc. It is set as the determination condition when it is determined whether or not the number of gaming balls taken into the supply passage of the payout device 830 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number based on a detection signal from the sensor 827 In addition to time management such as the ball out determination time, the ball number of the game ball received and paid out by the recess of the payout rotary body does not match the ball number actually detected by the payout detection sensor 842 Inconsistency counter reset which is set as the judgment condition when it is judged whether or not the inconsistency counter INCC for monitoring whether or not the payout of the game ball which is inconsistent due to repetition is repeated is reset. Manage the time of judgment time. For example, when the ball judging time is set to 5005 ms, the timer interrupt period is set to 2 ms, so every time this timer update processing is performed, the ball judging time is reduced by 2 ms and the subtraction result When the value becomes 0, the ball is accurately measuring the judgment time.

  In this embodiment, the skip determination time is set to 22.75 ms, the ball removal determination time is 60060 ms, the full determination time is 504 ms, the ball out determination time is 119 ms, and the inconsistency counter reset determination time is set to 7000 s (approximately 2 hours). Each time the timer update process is performed, the ball removal determination time, the full tank determination time, the ball out determination time, and the mismatch counter reset determination time are each reduced by 2 ms, and the result of the subtraction becomes 0. The extraction determination time, the full tank determination time, the ball out determination time, and the mismatch counter reset determination time are accurately measured. These various determination times are stored as time management information in the time management information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM.

Following step S552, the payout control program performs CR communication processing (step S554). In this CR communication processing, whether or not various signals (BRQ signal, BRDY signal, and CR connection signal) from the CR unit 6 are input based on the input information read out from the input information storage area described above Determine The payout control MPU 952a exchanges various signals with the CR unit 6 based on various signals from the CR unit 6.
In the process of setting the work area of the payout control internal RAM in step S530, as described above, various flags which are payout backup information stored in the payout control internal RAM, and various information stored in the various information storage area (For example, the number of ball stock PBS, the number of real ball count PB, the number of drive command DRV, the number of misaligned counters INCC, etc. stored in the prize ball information storage area, and the PRDY stored in the CR communication information storage area Information to be used for various processes is set based on the payout information on the payout of the PRDY signal output setting information etc. in which the logic state of the signal is set.

  By this process, for example, even if there is a momentary power failure or power failure, values such as the number of ball stock PBS, actual ball count PB, number of drive commands DRV, inconsistency counter INCC, etc. at power recovery are stored as payout backup information. The values can be restored to values such as the winning ball stock number PBS, the real ball count PB, the driving command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. immediately before the instantaneous stop or power failure. As a result, even when the payout operation of the gaming ball by the payout device 830 is being executed, even if it becomes impossible to continue the payout operation due to a momentary stop or power failure, the payout operation can be continued at the time of power recovery. Since it is possible, the game balls can be paid out to the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 without excess or deficiency. In other words, while the payout control MPU 952a exchanges various signals with the CR unit 6 in the CR communication processing, the payout control MPU 952a causes a momentary stop or power failure while paying out the game ball to the upper plate 321 or the lower plate 322. Even if the exchange of various signals with the unit 6 is interrupted and the payout of the game balls can not be continued, the number of ball stock PBS, real ball count PB, number of drive commands DRV, mismatch counter INCC at the time of power recovery Etc. by being restored to values such as the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure, which is stored as payout backup information. , Exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU 952a) and the CR unit 6 immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure. It is possible to continue from time to time, so that it can continue to perform the payout of the game ball.

  As described above, the exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU 952a) and the CR unit 6 is restored to the state immediately before the momentary stop or stop at the time of power recovery even if the momentary stop or stop occurs. The various signals by the pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU 952a) and the CR unit 6 do not change due to the influence of a momentary stop or stop. Therefore, the reliability of exchange of various signals by the pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU 952a) and the CR unit 6 can be enhanced.

  In addition, as described above, various information stored in the CR communication information storage area is included in the payout backup information. In the CR communication process, when the power returns, the PRDY signal output setting information is read out from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control internal RAM, which is set in the process for setting the work area of the payout control internal RAM in step S530. For example, when the read PRDY signal output setting information is set to the logic state of the PRDY signal which indicates that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible, for example, the payout control of the PRDY signal is performed. Output to the CR unit 6 from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the MPU 952a. Then, for example, in the retry operation monitoring process performed as one process of the main operation setting process, the value of the inconsistency counter INCC of the award ball information storage area stored in the payout control internal RAM, which is included in the payout backup information. It is determined whether the value of the mismatch counter INCC is smaller than the mismatch threshold INCTH based on and if the value of the mismatch counter INCC is not smaller than the mismatch threshold INCTH, the retry operation operates abnormally. If it is determined that the payout operation of the gaming ball by the payout device 830 is abnormal, that is, the value 1 is set to the retry error flag RTERR-FLG, and the payout ball is subjected to the operation determination setting process. , As an output of an error state to the CR unit 6, for example, when not communicating with the CR unit 6 The logic state of the PRDY signal informing of dispensing operation is not possible (LOW) is set to PRDY signal output setting information stored in the CR communication information storage area for dispensing.

  Thus, in the CR communication process, the logic state of the PRDY signal is read out from the CR communication information storage area at the next timer interrupt from the time of power recovery, and the PRDY signal is an output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a. Output to CR unit 6. Thus, for example, immediately before the momentary stop, if the payout operation of the gaming ball by the payout device 830 is in an abnormal state, since the state is restored at the time of power recovery, it is extremely early after power recovery. At the stage, a PRDY signal can be output from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a to the CR unit 6 to notify that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible, to the CR unit 6 It can be informed that the payout operation of the gaming ball by the device 830 is in an abnormal state. As a result, it is possible to prevent the output of BRDY, which is a useless ball rental request signal from the CR unit 6, at an extremely early stage after power recovery.

  Also, in the CR communication process, in the port input process of step S550, the CR connection signal is read out from the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and the logic is HI based on this CR connection signal, that is, pachinko machine When 1 is powered on, and the payout control board 951 and the CR unit 6 are electrically connected via the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869, to pay out the lent ball In order to indicate that the dispensing operation is possible, the logic state of the PRDY signal is set to HI and output from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the dispensing control MPU 952a to the CR unit 6, while the logic is LOW, that is, When the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the payout control board 951 and the CR unit 6 are connected to the game ball etc. When it is not electrically connected through the I / O port, the logic state of the PRDY signal is set to LOW to indicate that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible, and the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a. Output to CR unit 6 from the output terminal. Note that the state of the logic of the EXS signal that indicates that one dispensing operation has been started or ended is stored in the CR communication information storage area of the dispensing control internal RAM as EXS signal output setting information, and the dispensing control board 951 and A CR connection signal that indicates whether or not the CR unit 6 is electrically connected is stored as CR connection information in the state information storage area.

  Following step S554, the payout control program performs full tank and out-of-balls check processing (step S556). In the full tank and out-of-ball check process, the input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and the storage space of the above-described far cover unit 270 is stored by the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 based on the input information. If it is determined that the game ball is full or not, or if the number of balls of the game ball taken into the supply path of the payout device 830 described above is detected by the detection signal from the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 It is determined whether or not it has become. For example, the determination as to whether or not the accommodation space of the far cover unit 270 is full with stored gaming balls uses the timer interrupt cycle 2 ms to detect fullness in the present fullness and ball out checking process. When the detection signal from the sensor 279 is ON, and the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 is OFF in the previous (2 ms before) full tank and out-of-ball check process, that is, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 is When transitioning from OFF to ON, timing of the full tank determination time (504 ms) described above in the timer update process of step S552 is started. When the full tank determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the full tank determination time is reached, whether the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 is ON in the full tank and out-of-ball check process It is determined whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 is ON, the state information described above indicates the full tank information indicating that the storage space of the far cover unit 270 is full by storing the stored game ball. Store in storage area. On the other hand, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 is OFF, the gaming ball storing the storage space of the far cover unit 270 stores the full tank information in the state information storage area to indicate that it is not full. Do.

  It is also determined whether or not the number of gaming balls taken into the supply passage of the payout device 830 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number using the timer interrupt cycle of 2 ms to run out of balls in the current full tank and out-of-ball check process. When the detection signal from the detection sensor is ON, and the detection signal from the out-of-ball detection sensor is OFF in the previous full (2 ms before) and full-ball check processing, the detection signal from the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 is OFF When the state transitions from ON to ON, the counting of the ball out determination time (119 ms) described above is started in the timer update process of step S552. Then, when the ball breakage determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the ball breakage determination time has come, whether or not the detection signal from the ball breakage detection sensor 827 is ON in this full tank and ball breakage check processing It is determined whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 is ON, the out-of-ball information notifying that the number of balls of the gaming ball taken into the supply passage of the payout device 830 is a predetermined number or more While storing in the information storage area, when the detection signal from the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 is OFF, the out-of-range ball is transmitted to notify that the number of balls of the game ball taken into the supply passage of the payout device 830 is not more than a predetermined number. Information is stored in the state information storage area.

Following step S556, the payout control program performs command reception processing (step S558). In this command reception process, various commands related to the payout from the main control board 1310 (a prize ball command and a self check command shown in FIG. 142) are received.
When the various commands are normally received, the payer ACK information to that effect is stored in the output information storage area described above. On the other hand, when various commands can not be received normally, a connection error is transmitted that indicates that the connection between the main control substrate 1310 and the payout control substrate 951 is abnormal (the various command signals are abnormal). Information is stored in the state information storage area described above.

  Subsequent to step S558, the payout control program performs command analysis processing (step S560). In this command analysis process, the command received in step S558 is analyzed, and the analyzed command is stored as reception command information in the reception command information storage area of the payout control internal RAM.

  Subsequent to step S560, the payout control program performs main operation setting processing (step S562). In this main operation setting process, operation settings such as winning balls, lent balls, ball removal and ball sighting are performed, determination of retry operation is performed, and the number of unpaid balls (number of prize balls stock) is monitored. Do.

  Following step S562, the payout control program performs LED display data creation processing (step S564). In this LED display data creation process, various information is read out from the above-mentioned state information storage area, and display data to be displayed on the error LED indicator 860b of the payout control board 951 is created and output information storage area mentioned above as LED display information. Remember. For example, the above-mentioned ball out information is read out from the state information storage area, and based on the ball out information, the corresponding display data (when the ball number of the game balls taken into the supply passage of the payout device 830 is not more than a predetermined number) In the present embodiment, the display value 1 (number "1") is created and the LED display information is stored in the output information storage area.

  Following step S564, the payout control program performs command transmission processing (step S566). In this command transmission process, various types of information are read out from the above-described state information storage area, and various commands (door open command, door frame close command, main body frame open) divided into the state display shown in FIG. The main control board 1310 is created by creating a command, a main body frame closing command, a frame status 1 command (corresponding to a first error occurrence command), an error release navi command (corresponding to a first error clearing command) and a frame status 2 command. Send to For example, when the out-of-ball information is read out from the state information storage area, a frame state 1 command is created based on the out-of-ball information when the number of gaming balls taken into the supply passage of the payout device 830 is not more than a predetermined number. And sends it to the main control board 1310. In addition, in this command transmission process, the payout control program is, for example, when there is a change in the frame state such as an error in the game ball payout operation occurring, the information on the portion where the error occurs in the payout operation A frame state 1 command (first error cancellation command) including “error occurrence position information” is generated (error occurrence command generation means). On the other hand, in this command transmission process, the above-described error occurs when the payout control program determines that the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is the value 1, that is, the operation signal corresponding to the operation of the operation switch 954 is detected. A cancellation navi command (first error cancellation command) is output (command transmission means). The payout control program transmits a main body frame open command (first main body frame open command) when the main body frame open detection signal from the main body frame open switch 619 is input (main body frame command sending means, Main unit frame command sending means 1). When the main frame closing detection signal from the main frame opening switch 619 is input, the payout control program transmits a main frame closing command (first main frame closing command) (main frame command sending means , 1st main body frame command sending means). Further, the payout control program transmits a door frame open command (first door frame open command) when the door frame open detection signal from the door frame open switch 618 is input (a door frame command sending means, Door frame command sending means 1). On the other hand, the payout control program transmits a door frame closing command (first door frame closing command) when the door frame closing detection signal from the door frame opening switch 618 is input (a door frame command sending means, Door frame command sending means 1). In addition, the payout control program reads out error information including error contents from the above-mentioned status information storage area in the above-mentioned command transmission process (step S566), and machine number information for identifying itself with other pachinko machines and An error information signal based on the error information is output to the hall computer via the external terminal board 784. When the hall computer receives the error information signal, the hall clerk provides the machine number information and the error information to the wireless device possessed by the hall clerk, and the hall clerk is a pachinko machine with a machine number based on the machine number information. In the above, it is possible to recognize that an error content included in the error information has occurred.

  Following step S566, the payout control program sets the value C in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S568). The value C is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL in step S568, so that the value C is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL following the value B set in step S546. As a result, the value A, the value B and the value C are sequentially set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, and the watchdog timer is cleared.

  Following step S568, the payout control program returns to step S539 again, sets the value A in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, and in step S540 determines whether or not the power failure notification signal (delivery power failure notification signal) is input. If it is determined that there is no input of the power failure notice signal (disbursed power failure notice signal), it is determined whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value 1 in step S542, and the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value 1 If it is, that is, if 2 ms has elapsed, the value 2 is set to the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG in step S544, the value B is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL in step S546, and port output processing is performed in step S548. Port input processing in step S550, and in step S552 The image update process is performed, the CR communication process is performed in step S554, the full tank and ball out check process is performed in step S556, the command reception process is performed in step S558, the command analysis process is performed in step S560, and the main process is performed in step S562. Operation setting processing is performed, LED display data creation processing is performed in step S564, command transmission processing is performed in step S566, value C is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL in step S568, and steps S539 to S568 are repeated. . The process of steps S539 to S568 is referred to as "payout control unit main process".

  The processing content of the payout control unit main processing varies in accordance with the progress of the game by the main control board 1310. For this reason, the time required for the processing of the payout control MPU 952a changes. Therefore, the payout control MPU 952a preferentially outputs, to the main control substrate 1310, a payment acknowledgment signal indicating that various commands related to the payment from the main control substrate 1310 have been normally received in the port output processing of step S548. There is. As a result, the payout control MPU 952a secures the processing time so that other processing that fluctuates can be sufficiently performed.

  On the other hand, when there is an input of the power failure advance notification signal (payout failure notification signal) in step S540, the interrupt prohibition setting is performed (step S570). With this setting, a payout control unit timer interrupt process to be described later is not performed, the writing to the payout control internal RAM is prevented, and the rewriting of the payout information described above is protected.

  Following step S570, the payout control program stops the output of the drive signal to the payout motor 834 (step S574). Thereby, the payout of the game ball is stopped.

  Subsequent to step S574, the payout control program performs setting for clearing the watchdog timer (step S576). This clear setting is performed by sequentially setting the value A, the value B and the value C in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL as described above.

  Following step S576, the payout control program calculates a checksum and stores the calculated value (step S578). This checksum is calculated by regarding the payout information of the work area of the payout control built-in RAM as a numerical value, excluding the storage area of the value of the checksum and the value of the payout backup flag HBK-FLG calculated in step S524.

  Following step S578, the payout control program sets the payout backup flag HBK-FLG to the value 1 (step S580). This completes the storage of the payout backup information.

  Subsequent to step S580, the payout control program performs setting to prohibit access to the payout control built-in RAM (step S582). By this setting, access to the payout control internal RAM is inhibited and writing and reading can not be performed, and the payout backup information stored in the payout control internal RAM is protected.

  Following step S 582, the payout control program enters an infinite loop. In this infinite loop, since the value A, the value B and the value C are not sequentially set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, the watchdog timer is not cleared. For this reason, the payout control MPU 952a is reset, and thereafter, the payout control program performs the payout control unit power-on process again under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. The process of step S570 to step S582 and the infinite loop are referred to as "payout control unit power-off process".

  The pachinko machine 1 (the payout control MPU 952a) is reset when a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs, and the payout control unit power-on process is performed when the power is restored thereafter.

  In step S526, it is checked whether the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is normal or not, and in step S528, whether or not the processing upon power-off of the payout control unit has been normally completed. Is examining. As described above, by checking the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM in duplicate, it is checked whether or not the payout backup information is stored due to fraud.

[15-2. Disbursement control unit timer interrupt processing]
Next, the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described. The payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (2 ms in the present embodiment) set in the payout control unit power-on process shown in FIGS.

  When the payout control unit timer interrupt processing is started, the payout control program in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951 sets the timer interrupt to be prohibited as shown in FIG. 152 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. Then, switching (saving) of the register is performed (step S590). Here, the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) used in the above-described payout control unit main processing is switched to the auxiliary register. By using this auxiliary register in the dispensing control unit timer interrupt processing, the value of the general purpose register is not overwritten. This prevents the destruction of the contents of the general purpose register used in the payout control unit main processing.

  Following step S590, the payout control program sets the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG to the value 1 (step S592). This 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag that counts 2 ms every time 2 ms of this payout control unit timer interrupt processing is performed, that is, a value of 0 when 1 ms or 2 ms has not elapsed when 2 ms has elapsed. Each is set.

  Following step S592, the payout control program switches (returns) the register (step S594). This return is switched from the auxiliary register used in the dispensing control unit timer interrupt processing to the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register). By using this general-purpose register in the payout control unit main processing, the value of the auxiliary register is not overwritten. This prevents the destruction of the contents of the auxiliary register used in the dispensing control unit timer interrupt processing.

  Following step S594, the payout control program sets the interrupt permission (step S596), and ends this routine.

[15-3. Rotation detection sensor history creation processing]
Next, rotation detection sensor history creation processing will be described. In this rotation detection sensor history creation processing, a history of detection signals from the rotation detection sensor 840 shown in FIG. 124 is created.

  When the rotation detection sensor history creation process is started, the payout control program in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951 detects the rotation from the payout control built-in RAM as shown in FIG. 153 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. The sensor detection history information RSW-HIST is read out (step S610). The rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST is of 1 byte (8 bits: most significant bits B7, B6, B5, B4, B3, B2, B1, least significant bits B0, "B" represent bits). It has a storage capacity, and the history of detection signals from the rotation detection sensor 840 is stored in the rotation detection sensor history information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST. In step S610, the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST is read out from the rotation detection sensor history information storage area.

  Subsequent to step S610, the payout control program determines whether or not there is a detection signal from the rotation detection sensor 840 (step S612). This determination is performed based on the detection signal from the rotation detection sensor 840 in the port input process of step S550 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. Specifically, the detection signal is stored as input information in the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM. In step S612, it is determined whether or not there is a detection signal from the rotation detection sensor 840 by reading input information from the input information storage area. When there is a detection signal from the rotation detection sensor 840 in the input information, the payout control program detects the light of the rotation detection sensor 840 for detecting the rotational position of the payout rotary body to which the rotation of the rotary shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted. It is determined that the axis is in a transition state from the blocking state to the non-blocking state. On the other hand, when there is no detection signal from the rotation detection sensor 840 in the input information, the payout control program determines that the detection slit has shifted the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 from the non-blocking state to the blocking state.

  When the detection slit has shifted the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 from the blocking state to the non-blocking state in step S612, the payout control program performs shift processing of the rotation detection sensor detection history information (step S614). In the shift process of the rotation detection sensor detection history information, the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S610 is the most significant bits B7 ← B6, B6 ← B5, B5 ← B4, B4 ← B3, B3 ← B2 , B 2 B B 1, B 1 ビ ッ ト least significant bit B 0, etc., shift from the least significant bit B 0 to the most significant bit B 7 by one bit at a time.

  Following step S614, the payout control program sets the value 1 to the least significant bit B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST (step S616), and ends this routine.

  On the other hand, when the detection slit shifts the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 from the non-blocking state to the blocking state in step S612, the payout control program shifts the rotation detection sensor detection history information (step S618). . In the shift process of the rotation detection sensor detection history information, the payout control program performs the same process as the shift process of the rotation detection sensor detection history information in step S614, and the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read in step S610. B7 B B6, B6 B B5, B5 B B4, B4 B B3, B3 B B2, B2 最 下 位 B1, B1 最 下 位 least significant bit B0, etc. from the least significant bit B0 to the most significant bit B7 Shift one bit at a time.

  Following step S618, the payout control program sets the value 0 to the least significant bit B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST (step S620), and ends this routine.

  As described above, each time the rotation detection sensor history creation processing is performed, the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST is shifted by 1 bit from the least significant bit B0 toward the most significant bit B7, and then the detection slit is rotated. The least significant bit B0 has a value of 1 or 1 in accordance with a state in which the optical axis of the detection sensor 840 has transitioned from the blocking state to the non-blocking state or a detection slit transitions the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 from the non-blocking state to the blocking state. Since the value 0 is set, a history of detection signals from the rotation detection sensor 840 can be created.

[15-4. Sprocket fixed position determination skip process]
Next, the sprocket fixed position determination skip process will be described. In the sprocket fixed position determination skipping process, the determination as to whether or not the payout rotating body to which the rotation of the rotary shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted is at the regular position is skipped when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The fixed position determination of the payout rotating body is also performed when the payout of the gaming ball by the payout device 830 is completed. This makes it possible to reliably start the rotation of the rotary shaft of the payout motor 834 in a state where no ball is generated.

  When the sprocket fixed position determination skip process is started, in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951, the payout control program is controlled by the payout control MPU 952a and as shown in FIG. It is determined whether FLG is the value 0 (step S630). The fixed position determination skip flag SKP-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not fixed position determination of the payout rotating body is performed, and the value of 1 when the fixed position determination of the payout rotating body is not performed (when skipping), payout rotation The value is set to 0 when the body position determination is performed (when not skipping).

  When it is determined in step S630 that the home position determination skip flag SKP-FLG has a value of 0 (when not skipping), that is, when home position determination of the payout rotating body is performed, the payout control program determines The rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST is read out from the storage area (step S632), and it is determined whether or not it matches the home position determination value (step S634). The home position determination value is stored in the payout built-in ROM, and in the present embodiment, "00001111B (" B "represents a bit)", and the upper 4 bits B7 to B4 have a value of 0, and a lower 4 Bits B3 to B0 have a value of 1. In step S634, it is determined whether the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value.

  Here, in the case where the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST have a value 1, the detection slit is the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 described above continuously in four timer interrupt cycles. It means that it is the state which changed to the non-blocking state from the blocking state. In the generation of the four timer interrupt cycles, the payout motor 834 shown in FIG. 124 is rotated by four steps. The rotation of the dispensing motor 834 is the rotation of the dispensing rotating body of the rotation detection board via the first gear, the second gear, and the third gear. Since the first gear, the second gear, and the third gear have play (backlash), the discharge rotating body rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. The rotation is designed to be equivalent to about two steps of rotation of the dispensing motor 834. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the fixed position determination of the dispensing rotating body is performed, the rotation from the rotation detection sensor 840 is used. History of detection signal, rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST is created by rotation detection sensor history creation processing shown in FIG. 153, and lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST created, that is, This is performed based on the detection signal from the generation of the latest four timer interrupt cycles. Thus, in the four timer interrupt cycles, the payout motor 834 rotates four steps, so it rotates more than the rotation of the payout rotor due to the backlash, and absorbs the rotation of the payout rotor due to the backlash. Can. Therefore, since the erroneous detection of the fixed position of the dispensing rotating body due to the backlash can be prevented, the rotational position of the dispensing rotating body can be properly managed by the rotational position of the dispensing motor 834. In the present embodiment, the four timer interrupt cycles are 8 ms (= 2 ms × 4 times), and are set as the backlash absorption time.

  In step S634, when the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S632 and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value match, the payout control program The fixed position determination skip flag SKP-FLG is set to the value 1 (step S636). Thereby, it can be set so as not to perform fixed position determination of the payout rotating body (skip). The payout control MPU 952a sets the rotational position of the payout rotary body at step S636 as the fixed position of the payout rotary body.

  Following step S636, the payout control program sets the skip determination time to be valid (step S638), and ends this routine. Here, the number of detection slits is three, which is the same as the number of concave portions of the dispensing rotating body, and is formed equally (every 120 degrees) on the outer periphery of the rotation detection board. Further, as described above, the rotation of the dispensing motor 834 is the rotation of the dispensing rotating body of the rotation detection board via the first gear, the second gear, and the third gear. In the present embodiment, the rotation (120 degrees) between the detection slits of the rotation detection board (dispensing rotor) is designed to correspond to the rotation of 18 steps of the dispensing motor 834.

  The payout control program manages the rotational position of the payout rotating body based on the number of steps of the payout motor 834 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. Specifically, (1) a transition state in which the detection slit causes the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 to transition from the blocking state to the non-blocking state (referred to as "edge detection state"); A state in which the optical axis of the sensor 840 transitions from the blocking state to the non-blocking state (referred to as “fixed position determined state”), and (3) a detection slit transitions the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 from the non-blocking state to the blocking state It manages in three states of the state ("fixed position determination skip state"), and. The edge detection state of (1) corresponds to one step rotation of the dispensing motor 834, and the fixed position determination state of (2) corresponds to the four step rotation of the dispensing motor 834, and the fixed position determination skip state of (3) In this case, the rotation position corresponds to 13 steps of the dispensing motor 834, and the rotation position between the detection slits (120 degrees) between the detection slits of the rotation detection board, that is, the rotation position of the dispensing rotating member, is managed by a total of 18 steps of rotation.

  In the fixed position determination skip state (3), the detection slit transitions the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 from the non-blocking state to the blocking state, so that the skip determination time is the time for the dispensing motor 834 to rotate 13 steps. Is set. As described above, since the timer interrupt cycle is set to 2 ms, the skip determination time is 26 ms (= 2 ms × 13 steps).

  Since the skip determination time becomes valid in step S638, subtraction of the skip determination time is performed in the timer update process of step S552 in the payout control unit power-on process (dispense control unit main process) shown in FIG. The payout control MPU 952a subtracts the skip determination time, and sets the initial value 0 to the home position determination skip flag SKP-FLG when the subtraction result becomes the value 0.

  On the other hand, when the home position determination skip flag SKP-FLG is not 0 (is the value 1) (when skipping) in step S630, that is, when home position determination of the payout rotating body is not performed, or in step S634, step S632. When the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step 4 and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the fixed position determination value do not match, the payout control program ends this routine as it is. . The home position determination skip flag SKP-FLG set in step S636 is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the payout control MPU 952a.

  The game balls supplied from the pachinko island facility are stored in the prize ball tank 802 and the tank rail 803, taken into the supply passage of the payout device 830, and guided to the payout device 830. When the gaming balls are charged against each other and charged, they are electrostatically discharged to generate noise. For this reason, the dispensing device 830 is affected by noise and is in the file environment. The payout device 830 is provided with a rotation detection sensor 840, and a detection signal from the rotation detection sensor 840 is susceptible to noise due to electrostatic discharge of the gaming ball.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to suppress erroneous detection due to the influence of noise, the fixed position determination skip state of (3) described above, that is, the detection slit changes the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 from the non-blocking state to the blocking state. In the transitioned state, the fixed position determination of the dispensing rotating body is not performed. Thereby, the accuracy of the fixed position determination of the payout rotating body is enhanced. In addition, since the period and period required to detect the fixed position of the payout rotating body can be obtained by calculation in advance as described above, the skip determination time can be easily set and adjusted.

[15-5. Ball sight judging process]
Next, the ball look determination process will be described. In this ball sight judging process, it is judged whether or not the ball sighting state by the payout rotating body to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted is generated.

  When the ball judging process is started, the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952 in the payout control board 951 detects the rotation from the rotation detection sensor history information storage area of the above-mentioned payout control built-in RAM as shown in FIG. The sensor detection history information RSW-HIST is read out (step S640).

  Following step S640, the payout control program determines whether or not there is a detection signal from the above-described rotation detection sensor 840 (step S642). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S640 matches the home position determination value. As described above, the home position determination value is stored in the payout built-in ROM, and in the present embodiment, "00001111B (" B "represents a bit)" and the upper four bits B7 to B4 The value 0 and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 have a value 1. In step S642, it is determined whether the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value.

  In step S 642, when the lower 4 bits B 3 to B 0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S 640 matches the lower 4 bits B 3 to B 0 of the home position determination value, the payout control program This routine is ended assuming that the detection slit has shifted the optical axis of the rotation detection sensor 840 from the non-blocking state to the blocking state, that is, the payout rotating body is rotating, and no ball is seen. Do.

  On the other hand, if the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S640 do not match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the fixed position determination value in step S642 The value 1 is set to the middle flag PBE-FLG (step S644). This ball is a medium flag PBE-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not the ball is in a state of being seen by the payout rotating body, and when the payout motor 834 is performing a blind movement, the value 1 and the ball are The value is set to 0 when no operation is performed.

  Subsequent to step S644, the payout control program sets the ball sighting determination time to be valid (step S646), and ends this routine. By making this ball look determination time effective, subtraction of the ball look determination time is performed in the timer update process of step S552 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. 151. .

[15-6. Various prize ball stock number addition processing]
Next, various prize ball stock number addition processing will be described. The various prize ball stock number addition processing includes prize ball prize ball stock number addition processing and rental ball prize ball stock number addition processing, and the prize ball prize ball stock number addition processing is from the main control board 1310. The processing for adding the number of balls to be paid out on the basis of the winning ball command described later, the processing for adding the number of balls for winning ball stock number for rental balls is a processing for adding the number of balls to be paid out based on the rental ball request signal from the CR unit 6 is there. First, a winning ball stock number adding process for winning balls will be described, and then, a winning ball stock number adding process for rental balls will be described. In the present embodiment, it is set that the winning ball stock number adding process for the winning balls is preferentially performed, and the winning ball stock number adding process is performed according to the winning ball stock number adding process. After the game balls have been paid out by the payout device 830, it is set to carry out a process of adding the number of balls for the number of ball stock balls for rental.

[15-6-1. Prize Ball Stock Ball Addition Number Processing]
When the prize ball stock number addition process for the prize balls is started, the payout control program in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951 receives the prize ball command as shown in FIG. 156 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. It is determined whether there is any (step S650). This determination is performed based on the command analyzed in the command analysis process of step S560 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. Specifically, the analyzed command is stored as reception command information in the reception command information storage area of the payout control internal RAM. In step S650, the payout control program reads out the received command information from the received command information storage area and determines whether or not it is a prize ball command.

  If the received command information is not the winning ball command in step S650, the payout control program ends this routine as it is, while if the received command information is the winning ball command in step S650, the payout control program changes the winning ball command to this winning ball command. The corresponding winning ball number PBV is read out from the winning ball number information table (step S652). Although this prize ball number information table will be described in detail later, the prize ball number information table is an information table stored in advance in the payout built-in ROM in association with the prize ball command and the prize ball number PBV.

  Subsequent to step S652, the payout control program reads out the prize ball stock number PBS from the payout control built-in RAM (step S654). The award ball stock number PBS represents the number of game balls not yet paid out by the payout device 830, that is, the number of unpaid balls, and has a storage capacity of 2 bytes (16 bits) in the present embodiment. There is. As a result, the winning ball stock number PBS can store the number of unpaid balls from the value 0 to the value 32767. The prize ball stock number PBS is stored in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM. In step S652, the winning ball stock number PBS is read out from the winning ball information storage area.

  The payout control program adds the winning ball number PBV read in step S652 to the winning ball stock number PBS read in step S654 (step S656), and ends this routine. After the addition in step S656, the prize ball command read out in step S650 is erased from the received command information storage area.

[15-6-2. Prize ball stock number addition processing for rental balls]
Next, a winning ball stock number addition process for a rental ball will be described. When the winning ball stock number addition process for the rental balls is started, the payout control program in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951 requests the rental balls under the control of the payout control MPU 952a as shown in FIG. It is determined whether there is a signal (step S660). This determination is performed based on the lent ball request signal from the CR unit 6 in the port input process of step S550 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. Specifically, the rental ball request signal is stored as input information in the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM. In step S660, the payout control program reads out the input information from the input information storage area and determines whether or not there is a rental ball request signal.

  When there is no rental ball request signal at step S660, the payout control program ends this routine as it is, but when there is a rental ball request signal at step S660, the payout control program receives the winning ball information of the above-mentioned payout control built-in RAM. The prize ball stock number PBS is read out from the storage area (step S662), and the number of balls RBV is added to the prize ball stock number PBS (step S664), and this routine is ended. The number of balls to be lent RBV is a fixed value, and is stored in advance in the payout built-in ROM. In the present embodiment, the value 25 is set as the number of balls to be lent RBV. After the addition in step S664, the payout control program erases the rental ball request signal read out in step S660 from the input information storage area. Further, in the present embodiment, since the winning balls are prioritized (the winning balls and the lent balls are managed separately), the lent ball request signal is held even when there is a lent ball request signal. , Pay out the rental balls with the completion of the delivery of the winning balls. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the winning balls stock number PBS is set to 0 and the payout of the rental balls is performed.

[15-7. Stock surveillance process]
Next, stock monitoring processing will be described. In this stock monitoring process, it is monitored whether the game is not continued in a state (stocked state) in which the storage space of the far cover unit 270 shown in FIG. Processing.

  When stock monitoring processing is started, in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951, the payout control program is under the control of the payout control MPU 952a and, as shown in FIG. The prize ball stock number PBS is read out from the storage area (step S670), and it is determined whether the read prize ball stock number PBS is equal to or more than the caution threshold TH (step S672). The caution threshold value TH is a fixed value and is stored in advance in the dispensing built-in ROM. In the present embodiment, the value 50 is set as the caution threshold value TH.

  If it is determined in step S672 that the winning ball stock number PBS is equal to or greater than the caution threshold TH, the payout control program sets the caution flag CA-FLG to the value 1 (step S674), and terminates this routine. In this caution flag CA-FLG, the player starts stocking the gaming balls in the accommodation space of the far cover unit 270, and the number of unpaid gaming balls (the number of prize balls stocked as described above) exceeds the caution threshold TH. It is a flag indicating that it has reached, and is set to a value of 1 when it has reached the caution threshold TH or more, and a value of 0 when it has not reached the caution threshold TH or more.

  On the other hand, when the winning ball stock number PBS is less than the caution threshold TH in step S672, the payout control program sets the caution flag CA-FLG to the value 0 (step S676), and ends this routine.

  If the game state is a big hit and the player relaxes and sees the effect developed on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 shown in FIG. 126, the player is carelessly During the first round, the gaming balls paid out as winning balls may not be removed from the lower plate 322 by operating the lower tray ball removal button 354. When the game is continued in this state, the lower plate 322 is filled with gaming balls, and the gaming balls are accumulated in the accommodation space of the far cover unit 270. When the accommodation space of the foul cover unit 270 is filled with gaming balls, as described above, the value of the prize ball stock number PBS increases and becomes equal to or more than the caution threshold TH, and provided in the door frame 3 as a caution effect Several LEDs of various decoration boards blink. By this blinking, for example, it is possible to tell the store clerk in the hall that the player's game is to be watched. Thus, the store clerk in the hall can notify the player that the game ball should be pulled out of the lower plate 322, and the player fills the lower plate 322 (the housing space of the far cover unit 270) with the game ball full. It is possible to prevent the continuation of the game.

  In the present embodiment, the caution threshold value TH is set to a value 50 corresponding to about one fifth of the upper limit value 255 which can be represented by one byte (8 bits). This makes it possible to notify the store clerk in the hall to warn the player of the game at the earliest possible stage.

[15-8. Disbursement ball look operation judgment setting process]
Next, the payout ball look-up operation determination setting process will be described. In this payout ball look-up operation judgment setting process, the game ball is paid out to the upper tray 321 or the lower plate 322 by the payout motor 834, or the ball glare movement is performed, or such payout or discharge is not performed. It is processing to set to either or.

  When the payout ball look-up operation determination setting process is started, the payout control program in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951 has the above-mentioned payout control built-in as shown in FIG. 159 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. The rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST is read out from the rotation detection sensor history information storage area of the RAM (step S680).

  Subsequent to step S680, the payout control program determines whether there is a detection signal from the rotation detection sensor 840 shown in FIG. 103 (step S682). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S680 matches the home position determination value. As described above, the home position determination value is stored in the payout built-in ROM, and in the present embodiment, "00001111B (" B "represents a bit)" and the upper four bits B7 to B4 The value 0 and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 have a value 1. In step S682, it is determined whether the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value.

  In step S682, when the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S680 and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value match in step S682, It is determined whether the retry error flag RTERR-FLG has a value 1 (step S684). The retry error flag RTERR-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not the retry operation described below is operating abnormally, value 1 when the retry operation is operating abnormally, and when the retry operation is not operating abnormally (retry) When the operation is operating normally), the values are respectively set to 0.

  In step S682, when the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S680 do not match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value, or in step S684. If the retry error flag RTERR-FLG is not the value 1 (is the value 0), that is, the retry operation is not in an abnormal operation, the payout control program determines whether the ball watching flag PBE-FLG is the value 1 or not. It is determined (step S686). The flag PBE-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not the ball is viewed by the payout rotating body to which the rotation of the rotary shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted, and the ball for the payout motor 834 is spherical A value of 1 is set when the operation is being performed, and a value of 0 is set when the ball is not looking down.

  When the flag PEB-FLG is not 1 in step S686 (ie, the value 0), that is, when the ball is not moving, the payout control program determines whether or not the prize ball information storage of the above-mentioned payout control built-in RAM. The prize ball stock number PBS is read out from the area (step S688), and it is determined whether the read prize ball stock number PBS is larger than the value 0 (step S690). In this determination, it is determined whether or not there is a number of unpaid balls in the payout of the game balls by the payout motor 834.

  When the prize ball stock number PBS is larger than the value 0 in step S690, that is, when there is an unpaid ball number, the payout control program determines whether or not the accommodation space of the far cover unit 270 is full of reserved balls. It is determined (step S692). This determination is performed based on the fullness information stored in the fullness and step check processing of step S 556 in the payout control portion power-on process (disbursement control portion main process) shown in FIG. Specifically, the full tank information is stored in the state information storage area of the above-described payout control built-in RAM. In step S692, the full tank information is read out from the state information storage area, and it is determined whether or not the storage space of the far cover unit 270 is full with the stored gaming balls.

  If it is determined in step S692 that the storage space of the foul cover unit 270 is not full of the stored gaming balls, the payout control program performs payout setting processing described later (step S694), and this routine is ended. In this payout setting process, a payout operation of paying out the gaming balls to the upper tray 321 and the lower tray 322 is performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S692 that the storage space of the foul cover unit 270 is full of the stored gaming balls, the payout control program ends this routine. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the payout motor 834 is forcibly stopped when the storage space of the far cover unit 270 is filled with the stored gaming balls. If a winning ball occurs while the dispensing motor 834 is forcibly stopped, the number of unpaid balls by the dispensing motor 834 increases, and the prize ball stock number PBS is added by the prize ball stock number addition process shown in FIG. Will increase.

  On the other hand, when the winning ball stock number PBS is not larger than 0 (is the value 0) at step S690, that is, when there is no unpaid ball number, the payout control program ends this routine as it is. Thus, the game balls are not paid out.

  On the other hand, in step S686, when the ball is in-flag flag PBE-FLG is the value 1, that is, the ball is moving, the payout control program performs the ball setting operation processing described later (step S700). Finish. In this ball facing operation setting process, a ball facing operation for eliminating the state of the ball due to the dispensing rotating body of the dispensing device 830 is performed.

  On the other hand, in step S684, when the retry error flag RTERR-FLG is the value 1, that is, when the retry operation is in abnormal operation, the payout control program sets the output stop (stop) of the drive signal to the payout motor 834. (Step S702). In this setting, drive information for stopping the drive signal is set in the payout motor 834 and stored in the output information storage area of the above-described payout control built-in RAM.

Following step S702, the payout control program sets an output of an error state to the CR unit 6 (step S704), and ends this routine. In step S704, when the payout control program is not in communication with the CR unit 6 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a in order to notify the CR unit 6 that the ball rental can not be made at present (CR unit 6 The logic of PRDY signal is held LOW, that is, held down, when the logic of BRDY from is held low (in other words, falling and held), the logic state of PRDY signal is set to PRDY signal output setting information And store it in the CR communication information storage area.
Thereby, in the CR communication process of step S554 in the payout control unit main process of the payout control unit power-on process of FIG. 151, the PRDY signal output setting information is read out from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM. The PRDY signal output setting information read out, that is, the PRDY signal whose logic is LOW, is output from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952 through the gaming ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 Output to unit 6 On the other hand, when communicating with the CR unit 6 (when the logic of BRDY from the CR unit 6 is HI, that is, rising and held), the logic state of the EXS signal is maintained and the logic state of the EXS signal Is set as EXS signal output setting information and stored in the CR communication information storage area. Thereby, in the CR communication process of step S554 in the payout control unit main process of the payout control unit power-on process of FIG. 151, the EXS signal output setting information is read out from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM. The read EXS signal output setting information, that is, the EXS signal whose logic is maintained, is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a to the CR unit 6 via the game ball connection device connection plate 869. . Note that, “maintain the logic state of the EXS signal” means that when the logic of the EXS signal is LOW (when the EXS signal falls and held) the logic LOW is maintained and the logic of the EXS signal is HI If at all (EXS signal is held rising) is to maintain its logic HI.

[15-8-1. Disbursement setting process]
Next, the payout setting process will be described. In this payout setting process, the payout motor 834 is driven to perform setting for paying out the gaming balls.

  When the payout setting process is started, in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951, the payout control program controls the number of drive commands DRV from the payout control built-in RAM as shown in FIG. 160 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. Read out (step S710). The drive command number DRV is used to command the number of game balls to be paid out by the payout motor 834, and is equal to the number of ball stock numbers PBS. The number of drive commands DRV is stored in the award ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM. At step S710, the number DRV of drive instructions is read out from the prize ball information storage area.

  Following step S710, the payout control program determines whether or not the drive command number DRV is a value 0 (step S712). This determination is made based on the drive instruction number DRV whether or not the number of gaming balls to be paid out by the payout motor 834 remains.

  When the drive command number DRV is 0 in step S712, that is, when the number of balls of the game balls to be paid out by the payout motor 834 is zero, the payout control program stops the output of the drive signal to the payout motor 834 (stops ) Is set (step S714). In this setting, drive information for stopping the drive signal is set in the payout motor 834 and stored in the output information storage area of the above-described payout control built-in RAM.

  Following step S714, the payout control program reads out the prize ball stock number PBS from the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM (step S716), and reads the actual ball count PB (step S718). The actual ball count PB is obtained by counting the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 834. This count will be described in detail later, but in the port input process of step S550 in the payout control unit power-on process (dispense control unit main process) shown in FIG. 151, the payout detection sensor 842 shown in FIG. Based on the detection signal of The actual ball count PB is stored in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control internal RAM. At step S 718, the real ball count PB is read out from the prize ball information storage area.

  Subsequent to step S718, the payout control program sets a value obtained by subtracting the actual ball count PB read out in step S718 from the winning ball stock number PBS read out in step S716 in the award ball stock number PBS and the drive command number DRV. (Step S720) The real ball count PB is set to the value 0 (step S722), and this routine is ended. When the drive command number DRV and the actual ball count PB are the value 0, at step S722, the value of the award ball stock number PBS read out at step S716 is directly set to the drive command number DRV.

  On the other hand, when the drive instruction number DRV is not 0 in step S712, that is, when there is the number of gaming balls to be dispensed by the payout motor 834, the payout control program sets the output of the drive signal to the payout motor 834. (Step S724). In this setting, drive information for outputting a drive signal to the payout motor 834 is set and stored in the output information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM.

  Following step S724, the payout control program subtracts (decrement, step S726) the drive command number DRV by 1 and determines whether or not there is a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 (step S728). This determination is performed based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 in the port input process of step S550 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. Specifically, the detection signal is stored as input information in the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM. In step S728, the payout control program reads input information from the input information storage area and determines whether there is a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 or not.

  When there is a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 in step S728, the payout control program adds the value 1 to the actual ball count PB (increment, and step S730), and this routine is ended. In step S730, the real ball count PB is incremented by incrementing the real ball count PB.

  On the other hand, when there is no detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 in step S728, the payout control program ends this routine as it is. As described above, the payout control program decrements the drive command number DRV in step S726 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a, and when there is no detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 in the determination of step S728, that is, When the ball count is not incremented, the game ball can not be paid out because the game ball is not received in the recess of the payout rotary body to which the rotation of the rotary shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted. Judge. Therefore, the payout control program sets a value obtained by subtracting the real ball count PB from the winning ball stock number PBS in the drive command number DRV in step S720 described above in order to pay out the one ball to be paid out again. Thus, when there is no detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 in the determination of step S728, that is, when the real ball count PB is not incremented, the value 1 which is one ball to be paid out is included in the winning ball stock number PBS. In other words, the value 1 which is the one ball to be paid out can be rounded into the prize ball stock number PBS, so that the retry operation can be performed to pay out the one ball to be paid out again . By performing this retry operation, it is possible to extremely reduce the possibility that the game balls will not be paid out to the player, and the disadvantage of the player due to the non-payment of the game balls can be prevented.

[15-8-2. Ball clasp movement setting process]
Next, the ball look-up operation setting process will be described. In this ball facing operation setting process, setting is performed to eliminate the state where the ball is viewed by the payout rotating body to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 834 of the payout device 830 is transmitted.

  When the ball setting operation setting process is started, in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951, the payout control program is under the control of the payout control MPU 952a and, as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not it has been (step S750). This determination is performed based on the sphere determination time which is subtracted in the timer update process of step S552 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. Specifically, the ball judging time is stored in the time management information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM described above as time management information. In step S750, the time management information is read out from the time management information storage area, and it is determined whether or not the ball has passed the determination time.

  If it is determined in step S750 that the ball determination time has not elapsed, the payout control program reads the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST from the rotation detection sensor history information storage area of the payout control internal RAM described above (step S752). .

  Following step S752, the payout control program determines whether or not there is a detection signal from the rotation detection sensor 840 described above (step S754). In this determination, it is determined whether the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S752 matches the home position determination value. As described above, the home position determination value is stored in the payout built-in ROM, and in the present embodiment, "00001111B (" B "represents a bit)" and the upper four bits B7 to B4 The value 0 and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 have a value 1. In step S754, it is determined whether the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value.

  In step S754, when the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S752 and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value do not match, the payout control program The output of the drive signal to the dispensing motor 834 is set so that the ball can be turned on (step S756), and this routine is ended. In this setting, drive information for outputting a drive signal to the payout motor 834 is set and stored in the output information storage area of the above-described payout control built-in RAM.

  On the other hand, in step S754, when the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S752 and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value match, the payout control program Sets the stop of the drive signal to the payout motor 834 (step S758). In this setting, drive information for stopping the drive signal is set to the payout motor 834 and stored in the output information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM.

  Following the step S758, the payout control program sets the ball watching flag PBE-FLG to the value 0 as the ball watching operation ends (step S760), and ends this routine. This ball is a medium flag PBE-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not the ball is in a state of being seen by the payout rotating body, and when the payout motor 834 is performing a blind movement, the value 1 and the ball are The value is set to 0 when the operation is not being performed (the end of the ball leaning operation).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S750 that the ball is determined to have passed, the payout control program sets a stop of the drive signal to the payout motor 834 (step S762). In this setting, drive information for stopping the drive signal is set in the payout motor 834 and stored in the output information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM.

  Following step S762, the payout control program sets an output of an error state to the CR unit 6 (step S764). Here, when the payout control MPU 952a is not in communication with the CR unit 6 to notify the CR unit 6 that it is currently in a state that it is not possible to lend a ball (the logic of BRDY from the CR unit 6 is LOW, that is, (When falling and held), the logic of the PRDY signal is held LOW, ie, held down, and the logic state of the PRDY signal is set in the PRDY signal output setting information and stored in the CR communication information storage area Do. Thereby, in the CR communication process of step S554 in the payout control unit main process of the payout control unit power-on process of FIG. 151, the PRDY signal output setting information is read out from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM. The PRDY signal output setting information read out, that is, the PRDY signal whose logic is LOW, is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952 through the gaming ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 and CR. Output to unit 6 On the other hand, when communicating with the CR unit 6 (when the logic of BRDY from the CR unit 6 is HI, that is, rising and held), the logic state of the EXS signal is maintained and the logic state of the EXS signal Is set as EXS signal output setting information and stored in the CR communication information storage area. Thereby, in the CR communication process of step S554 in the payout control unit main process of the payout control unit power-on process of FIG. 151, the EXS signal output setting information is read out from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM. The read EXS signal output setting information, that is, the EXS signal whose logic is maintained, is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a to the CR unit 6 via the game ball connection device connection plate 869. . As described above, “maintain the logic state of the EXS signal” maintains the logic LOW of the EXS signal when the logic of the EXS signal is LOW (when the EXS signal falls and is held), the EXS signal is maintained. When the logic of H is HI (EXS signal is held rising) is to maintain that logic HI.

  Subsequent to step S764, the payout control program sets the ball watching flag PBE-FLG to the value 0 as the end of the ball watching operation (step S766), and ends this routine.

[15-9. Retry operation monitoring process]
Next, retry operation monitoring processing will be described. In this retry operation monitoring process, it is a process of monitoring whether or not the retry operation of paying out the gaming ball to be paid out again is normally performed.

  When the retry operation monitoring process is started, the payout control program in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951 detects the rotation of the above-mentioned payout control built-in RAM as shown in FIG. 162 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. The rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST is read out from the sensor history information storage area (step S770).

  Following step S770, the payout control program determines whether or not there is a detection signal from the above-described rotation detection sensor 840 (step S772). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S770 matches the home position determination value. As described above, this home position determination value is stored in the payout control built-in ROM, and in the present embodiment, it is "00001111B (" B "represents a bit)", and the upper four bits B7 to B4. Has a value of 0, and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 have a value of 1. In step S772, it is determined whether the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value.

  In step S772, when the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S770 match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the home position determination value, the payout control program The mismatch counter INCC is incremented by 1 (increment, step S774). The misalignment counter INCC includes the number of balls of the gaming balls paid out by being received by the recess of the payout rotating body to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted, and the number of balls detected by the payout detection sensor 842 Usually, the number of balls of the game ball received and paid out by the recess of the payout rotary body is in agreement with the number of balls detected by the payout detection sensor 842 Therefore, the value is 0. Since the payout control program performs a retry operation in the payout setting process shown in FIG. 160, the number of balls of the gaming ball paid out by being received by the recess of the payout rotating body by the retry operation and the payout detection in practice It is determined by monitoring the inconsistency counter INCC whether or not the game balls, which are inconsistent due to the mismatch between the number of balls detected by the sensor 842 and the game balls, are repeatedly being repeated. The inconsistency counter INCC is stored in the award ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM. In step S774, the payout control program increments the inconsistency counter INCC stored in the prize ball information storage area.

  Subsequent to step S774 or in step S772, the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the rotation detection sensor detection history information RSW-HIST read out in step S770 do not match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the fixed position determination value Sometimes, the payout control program determines whether or not there is a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 (step S776). This determination is performed based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 in the port input process of step S550 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. Specifically, as described above, the detection signal is stored as the input information in the input information storage area of the above-described payout control built-in RAM. In step S776, the payout control program reads input information from the input information storage area and determines whether there is a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 or not.

  When there is a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 in step S776, the payout control program subtracts the value 1 from the inconsistency counter INCC stored in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control internal RAM (decrement, step S778). ).

  Subsequent to step S778, or when there is no detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 in step S776, the payout control program determines whether the value of the inconsistency counter INCC is smaller than the inconsistency threshold INCTH (step S780). In the pachinko machine 1, it is experimentally obtained that the probability that one unintended gaming ball due to the retry operation is paid out is about one in several million, and in the present embodiment, the inconsistency threshold INCTH As the value 5 is set.

  In the processing for setting the work area of the payout control internal RAM in step S530 in the processing when the payout control unit is turned on in FIG. 151, as described above, it is the payout backup information stored in the payout control internal RAM at power recovery. Information to be used for the retry operation monitoring process is set based on the inconsistency counter INCC stored in the prize ball information storage area. By this processing, for example, even if a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, the value of the inconsistency counter INCC or the like at the time of power recovery is restored to a value such as the inconsistency counter INCC immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure. It can be done. Thereby, in the determination of step S780, monitoring of the payout operation (retry operation) of the gaming ball by the payout device 830, which has been performed immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure, can be continued from the time of power recovery. There is. Therefore, for example, when the value of the inconsistency counter INCC is smaller than the inconsistency threshold INCTH in the determination of step S780, for example, immediately before the instantaneous interruption or power failure, it is determined that the retry operation is operating normally, that is, the payout device It is determined that the payout operation of the gaming ball by 830 is in the normal state, and even at the time of power recovery, it can be determined that the payout operation of the gaming ball by the payout device 830 is normal by the determination of step S780. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S780 that the value of the incompatibility counter INCC is not smaller than the inconsistency threshold INCTH, it is determined that the retry operation is abnormal, that is, the payout operation of the gaming ball by the payout device 830 is abnormal. It is possible to determine that the payout operation of the gaming ball by the payout device 830 is in an abnormal state by the determination of step S780 even at the time of power recovery.

  If it is determined in step S780 that the value of the mismatch counter INCC is smaller than the mismatch threshold INCTH, this routine ends. On the other hand, when the value of the mismatch counter INCC is not smaller than the mismatch threshold INCTH in step S780, that is, when the value of the mismatch counter INCC is equal to or greater than the mismatch threshold INCTH, the payout control program In order to notify that it is “1”, retry error information for displaying the number “5” on the error LED indicator 860b which is a segment indicator mounted on the payout control board 951 is set and the above-mentioned payout control built-in RAM It is set (stored) in the state information storage area of (step S782). On the other hand, when notifying that it is "in prize ball stock", the payout control program sets the prize ball in-progress information for displaying the number "9" on the error LED display 860b and incorporates the above-mentioned payout control. It is set (stored) in the state information storage area of the RAM (step S 782).

  Following step S782, the payout control program sets the value 0 (initial value 0) to the inconsistency counter INCC stored in the award ball information storage area of the payout control internal RAM (step S784). In step S784, when the value of mismatch counter INCC is not smaller than mismatch threshold INCTH in step S780, that is, the value of mismatch counter INCC is greater than mismatch threshold INCTH, step S784 is performed. It is designed to be initialized upon the occurrence of this internal factor. When the operation switch 954 is operated to clear the RAM when the power is turned on, the mismatch counter INCC is initialized in response to the occurrence of the external factor. When the operation switch 954 is operated when the power is turned on, as described above, an operation signal corresponding to the operation is input as a RAM clear signal to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. As described above, the main control program described above erases all the various information stored in the main control built-in RAM under the control of the main control MPU 1310a, and the RAM clear notification command is displayed on the peripheral control board shown in FIG. Output to 1510. As a result, the RAM clear notification sound flows from the speaker 921 shown in FIG. 91 and the upper speaker 573 shown in FIG.

  Subsequently to step S784, the retry error flag RTERR-FLG is set to the value 1 (step S786), and this routine is ended. The retry error flag RTERR-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not the retry operation is operating abnormally, value 1 when the retry operation is operating abnormally, and when the retry operation is not operating abnormally (the retry operation is It is respectively set to the value 0 when operating normally.

  The payout control program shows retry error information (or prize ball stock information) set (stored) in the output information storage area of the payout control internal RAM in step S782 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a, as shown in FIG. In the command transmission process of step S566 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout controller main process), a retry error status command is created and transmitted to the main control board 1310, and LED display data creation in step S564 in the same process. The display data to be displayed on the error LED indicator 860b in the process is created and stored as LED display information in the output information storage area, and the LED display information stored in the output information storage area in the port output process of step S548 in the same process Outputs a drive signal to the error LED indicator 860b based on To display the number "5" on the error LED display device 860b. In the main control board 1310 having received the status command, the main control program transmits it to the peripheral control board 1510 in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. The periphery control board 1510 causes a door frame side lighting blink command to output a lighting signal to emit a plurality of LEDs of various decoration boards provided in the door frame 3 in a predetermined color (red in this embodiment). The light is output to the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate 194 shown in FIG. The store clerk or the like in the hall who noticed the light emission of the plurality of LEDs, as described above, opens the main body frame 4 to the outer frame 2 and the numeral “on the error LED display 860 b mounted on the payout control board 951 It can be confirmed that a “retry error” has occurred by visually observing that “5” is displayed. As a result, the store clerk or the like in the hall checks the failure of the dispensing detection sensor 842, disconnection of various harnesses extending to the dispensing control board 951 from the dispensing detection sensor 842, contact failure of various connectors, etc. in order to investigate the cause. The operation can be performed extremely quickly compared to the case where the light emission of the plurality of LEDs and the display content of the error LED indicator 860b are not notified.

  Also, by intentionally putting the payout detection sensor 842 into the inoperative state, the above-described detection of the gaming balls paid out by being received by the recess of the payout rotating body to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted If the value of the above-mentioned inconsistency counter INCC is equal to or more than the incoincidence threshold value INCTH, even if a fraudulent act of illegally acquiring the game ball paid out by this retry operation is performed by forcibly generating the retry operation. Then, since a plurality of LEDs of various decoration substrates provided in the door frame 3 emit light, a clerk or the like in a hall rushes to check the state of the pachinko machine 1. In this case, the player who performs the injustice is forced to interrupt so as not to find the action, and can not continuously acquire the illegal gaming ball due to the injustice. Even if the value of the inconsistence counter INCC matches the inconsistency threshold INCTH, the number of gaming balls that can be acquired by the player who cheats is the same as the inconsistency threshold INCTH, that is, five balls Because of this, it is possible to extremely reduce the damage to the hall due to the act of intentionally deactivating the dispensing detection sensor 842.

  Furthermore, as described above, the mismatch counter INCC is determined in step S780 when the value of the mismatch counter INCC is not smaller than the mismatch threshold INCTH, that is, the value of the mismatch counter INCC is greater than the mismatch threshold INCTH. It is designed to be initialized upon the occurrence of an internal factor that has become an issue. Thus, the mismatch counter INCC is not initialized, for example, in response to the occurrence of an external factor such as operating the operation switch 954 to clear the error. Therefore, even if the operation switch 954 or the like is altered illegally and the operation signal is input to the payout control MPU 952a, the incompatibility counter INCC is forcibly initialized by such an unauthorized action. Absent.

[15-10. Mismatched counter reset judgment processing]
Next, mismatch counter reset processing will be described. In this misalignment counter reset process, the number of balls of the gaming balls paid out by being received by the recess of the payout rotating body to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted, and the number of balls detected by the payout detection sensor 842 It is a process to determine whether or not to reset the mismatch counter INCC that calculates the difference between and.

  When the inconsistency counter reset determination process is started, in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951, the payout control program determines that the inconsistency counter reset determination time is under the control of the payout control MPU 952a as shown in FIG. It is determined whether it has elapsed (step S790). This determination is performed based on the mismatch counter reset determination time updated in the timer update process of step S552 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. Specifically, the inconsistency counter reset determination time is stored as time management information in the time management information storage area of the above-described payout control built-in RAM. In step S 790, the time management information is read out from the time management information storage area, and it is determined whether the inconsistency counter reset determination time has elapsed.

  If it is determined in step S790 that the inconsistency counter reset determination time has not elapsed, the payout control program ends this routine. On the other hand, when the mismatch counter reset determination time has elapsed in step S790, the payout control program initializes the mismatch counter reset determination time (step S792). By this initialization, the mismatch counter reset determination time is set to the initial value 7000 s (about 2 hours).

  Subsequent to step S 792, the payout control program sets the value 0 (initial value 0) to the inconsistency counter INCC stored in the above-mentioned award ball information storage area of the payout control internal RAM (step S 794). Finish. As described above, the misalignment counter INCC is detected by the payout detection sensor 842 and the number of balls of the gaming balls paid out by being received by the recess of the payout rotating body to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted. The counter is for calculating the difference between the number of balls and the number of balls of the gaming balls normally received by the depressions of the payout rotating body and the number of balls detected by the payout detection sensor 842; Become equal to each other, so the value is 0. The payout control program performs the retry operation in the payout setting process shown in FIG. 160 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a, and the ball of the gaming ball paid out by being received by the recess of the payout rotating body by the retry operation. It is monitored and judged by the inconsistence counter INCC whether or not the payout of the game ball which is inconsistent due to the mismatch between the number and the number of balls actually detected by the payout detection sensor 842 is repeated. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present invention, it has been experimentally obtained that the probability that one game ball which is inconsistent due to the retry operation is paid out is about one in several million.

  Here, as described above, the pachinko machine 1 is made up of the game board 5 and a frame body such as the main body frame 4 on which the game board 5 is mounted, and the game board 5 is replaced by replacing the game board 5 Since the specifications are configured to be changeable, the payout control substrate 951 that controls the payout device 830, the power supply for driving the payout device 830, and the power supply substrate 931 that generates the control power for the payout control substrate 951 have a common function. It is equipped on the body side. Under the control of the payout control MPU 952a, the payout control unit 952 in the payout control board 951 determines whether the retry operation is repeated by monitoring the inconsistency counter INCC as described above. The operation can be determined, and in the payout control unit power-off process in the payout control unit power-on process shown in FIG. 151, the inconsistency counter INCC immediately before the shut-off is stored when the power is shut off. In the processing of step S530 (setting at power recovery of the RAM working area) in the processing at power-on of the dispensing control unit shown at 150, processing is restarted from the stored mismatch counter INCC at power-on.

  Then, when the game board 5 mounted on the pachinko machine 1 is shut off and the game board 5 'of another game specification different from the game board 5 is replaced to turn on the power, the payout control board The payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952 in 951 restarts the process from the mismatch counter INCC stored when the gaming board 5 is attached to the pachinko machine 1. That is, when the player plays the pachinko machine 1 with the game board 5 'attached, the unmatched counter INCC in the pachinko machine 1 with the game board 5 before replacement is attached as it is. For this reason, the player plays the pachinko machine 1 on which the game board 5 'is mounted, and by chance the number of unmatched game balls is generated with a probability of one-millionth, and the inconsistency counter INCC When the inconsistency counter INCC increases to the inconsistency value INCTH or more as described above, the payout control MPU 952a determines it as an abnormal operation of the retry operation in a short period by replacing the gaming board 5 with the gaming board 5 ' There is a fear. That is, during a short time after the game board 5 is replaced with the game board 5 ', the malfunction of the payout detection sensor 842, the disconnection of various harnesses extending to the payout control board 951 from the payout detection sensor 842, the contact of various connectors Although there is no failure or the like, there is a possibility that the abnormal operation of the retry operation may be suddenly determined.

  As described above, when it is determined that the game board 5 is changed to the game board 5 'and the abnormal operation of the retry operation is made in a short period, the exchanged game board 5' has an impression that it is easily broken even though it is new. It may be given to the player. The probability of 1-millionth that one game ball which is inconsistent due to retry operation is paid out is one-millionth, when pachinko machine 1 is installed in the hall and operated continuously during the business hours of the hall for one week, Since it is the same as the probability that the game ball which is inconsistent by the retry operation is paid out one ball, in the process of step S778 in the retry operation monitoring process shown in FIG. The value 1 is not drawn. Then, in one week, the mismatch counter INCC is incremented by 1 and the mismatch counter INCC becomes 1; in 2 weeks, the mismatch counter INCC is further incremented by 1 and the mismatch counter INCC becomes 2. In week, mismatch counter INCC is further incremented by 1 and mismatch counter INCC becomes 3, and in 4 weeks, mismatch counter INCC is further incremented by 1 and mismatch counter INCC is 4, and in 5 weeks When the mismatch counter INCC is further incremented by the value 1, the mismatch counter INCC becomes the value 5, which matches the above-mentioned mismatch threshold INCTH. In other words, when five weeks have passed, the payout control program proceeds to step S776 in the retry operation monitoring process shown in FIG. 162 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a in order for the mismatch counter INCC to coincide with the mismatch threshold INCTH. In the determination, it will be determined that there is no detection signal from the payout detection sensor 842 and the malfunction of the payout detection sensor 842 or the disconnection of various harnesses extending to the payout control board 951 from the payout detection sensor 842 or the contact failure of various connectors. Segment display mounted on the payout control board 951 in order to notify that it is a "retry error" in the process of step S782 in the retry operation monitoring process shown in FIG. To display the number "5" on the error LED display 860b Set the color information so that the set (stored) in the status information storage area of the payout control chip RAM.

  Therefore, when the payout control MPU 952a determines that the mismatch counter reset determination time has elapsed in the determination in step S790 in this mismatch counter reset determination processing, that is, it repeatedly performs the mismatch counter reset every 7000s (about 2 hours). In the process of step S 794 in the determination process, the value 0 is forcibly set to the mismatch counter INCC, that is, the reset is performed forcibly, thereby incrementing the mismatch counter INCC generated with the probability of a few millions of parts described above. It is invalidated. As a result, an error occurs in the retry operation even though the malfunction of the payout detection sensor 842, the disconnection of various harnesses extending to the payout control board 951 from the payout detection sensor 842, the contact failure of various connectors and the like do not occur. It is possible to prevent the setting (storage) of retry error information that indicates the presence in the state information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM.

  Note that, by intentionally putting the payout detection sensor 842 into a non-operating state, the above-described detection of the gaming balls paid out by being received by the recess of the payout rotating body to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 834 is transmitted In the case where the payout detection sensor 842 is deliberately made to repeatedly go out of operation for a short time even if a fraudulent action is made to forcibly generate the retry operation and illegally acquire the gaming ball paid out by this retry operation, As described above, when the value of the mismatch counter INCC becomes equal to or greater than the mismatch threshold INCTH, a plurality of LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 emit light, so a store clerk or the like in the hall is the state of the pachinko machine 1 It will rush to confirm. In this case, the player who performs the injustice is forced to interrupt so as not to find the action, and can not continuously acquire the illegal gaming ball due to the injustice. On the other hand, when the discharge detection sensor 842 is intentionally repeatedly inactivated for a long time so that the value of the inconsistency counter INCC does not become equal to or more than the inconsistency threshold INCTH, the inconsistency counter INCC is Is reset, but during this time, as mentioned above, the number of game balls that can be acquired by the player who cheats is that the inconsistency counter INCC is up to the inconsistency threshold INCTH, and the payout detection sensor 842 is Even if the game player intentionally deactivates for a long time, it is possible to extremely reduce the number of game balls that can be acquired by a player who performs fraudulent acts.

[15-11. Error release operation judgment processing]
Next, the error release operation determination process will be described. In this error release operation determination process, it is determined whether or not the operation switch 954 shown in FIG. 124 is operated.

  When the error release operation determination process is started, the payout control program in the payout control unit 952 of the payout control board 951 causes the operation switch 954 to release an error as shown in FIG. 164 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a. It is determined whether or not it is operated (step S800). This determination is performed based on the operation signal from the operation switch 954 in the port input process of step S550 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. Specifically, the operation signal is stored as input information in the input information storage area of the above-described payout control built-in RAM. In step S800, the payout control program reads input information from the input information storage area, and when the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 is HI, determines that it does not instruct to perform error release. Operation switch 954 is operated when the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 is LOW, indicating that it is instructed to perform the error release. It is determined that

When the operation switch 954 is not operated in step S800, the payout control program ends this routine as it is, while when the operation switch 954 is operated in step S800, the payout control program checks an error flag state confirmation process. Perform (step S802). In this error flag state determination process, the state of the error flag corresponding to various error information regarding the dispensing device 830 is confirmed. For example, the state of a retry error flag RTERR-FLG indicating whether the retry operation is operating abnormally is confirmed.
As described above, the retry error flag RTERR-FLG has a value 1 when the retry operation is abnormal, and a value 0 when the retry operation is not abnormal (the retry operation is normal). Since it is set, the payout control program checks whether the value of the retry error flag RTERR-FLG is the value 0 or the value 1 under the control of the payout control MPU 952a.

  Following step S802, the payout control program performs state information setting processing (step S804). In this state information setting process, if the state of the error flag indicates that an error has occurred based on the error flag confirmed in step S802, the state information corresponding to the error flag is The payout control built-in RAM is set (stored) in the state information storage area. As a result, in the command transmission process of step S566 in the payout control unit power-on process (payout control unit main process) shown in FIG. 151, various information (status information) is read from the status information storage area, and this read status Based on the information, a state command is created and transmitted to the main control board 1310. For example, when the retry error flag RTERR-FLG indicating whether or not the above-mentioned retry operation is abnormal operation is the value 1, that is, when the retry operation is abnormal operation, it is indicated that an error occurs in the retry operation. If retry error information to be conveyed is set (stored) in the state information storage area of the payout control internal RAM, the command transmission process of step S566 in the payout control unit power-on process (payment control unit main process) shown in FIG. A retry error status command is created and transmitted to the main control board 1310.

  When the main control board 1310 receives retry error information, the main control program transmits it to the peripheral control board 1510 in the peripheral control board command transmission process of step S120 in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. In the control board 1510, the sub control program performs retry operation error notification processing to notify that an error has occurred in the retry operation. In this retry operation error notification process, the error notification announcement of the retry operation “Please check the winning ball unit.” And “Please check the harness of the payout control board.” Two times.) By flowing from the speaker 921 shown in FIG. 91 and the upper speaker 573 shown in FIG. The store clerk or the like in the hall who heard the error notification announcement of this retry operation breaks the malfunction of the payout detection sensor 842 shown in FIG. Defects and the like can be confirmed extremely quickly as compared with the case where the error notification announcement of the retry operation does not flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. Further, in the retry operation error notification process, the plurality of LEDs of various decoration substrates provided in the door frame 3 are caused to emit light in a predetermined color (red in this embodiment).

  Following step S804, the payout control program performs release setting processing (step S806). In this cancellation setting process, when the status of the error flag indicates that an error has occurred based on the error flags corresponding to the various error information confirmed in step S802, the error flag is handled. The CR unit 6 indicates that the error is forced to stop the content displayed by the error LED indicator 860b, which is a segment indicator already mounted on the payout control board 951, or that the ball can be rented. In order to communicate to the above, the logic of the PRDY signal described above is held HI, that is, the activated state, and from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952 Output to the CR unit 6 via For example, when the retry error flag RTERR-FLG indicating whether or not the retry operation described above is operating abnormally is the value 1, that is, when the retry operation is operating abnormally, the error LED display 860b is already displayed. The retry error information stored in the state information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM described above is “normal” in order to forcibly stop the numeral “5” notifying that it is “retry error” It forcibly overwrites the information on which the graphic "-" for notifying the effect is displayed. Also, in order to tell the CR unit 6 that it is ready to lend a ball, the logic of the PRDY signal is held HI, that is, it keeps up and the gaming ball is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a. And the like to the CR unit 6 through the lending device connection terminal plate 869.

  Following step S806, the payout control program performs error flag initialization processing (step S808), and the routine ends. In this error flag initialization process, if the state of the error flag indicates that an error has occurred based on the error flags corresponding to the various error information confirmed in step S802, the error flag is set. initialize. For example, when the retry error flag RTERR-FLG indicating whether or not the above-described retry operation is operating abnormally is the value 1, that is, when the retry operation is operating abnormally, the retry error flag RTERR-FLG has the value 0. Set and initialize. At this time, the logic of the PRDY signal described above is maintained at HI, that is, the rising state, and the logic state of the PRDY signal is set in the PRDY signal output setting information and stored in the CR communication information storage area. Thereby, in the CR communication process of step S554 in the payout control unit main process of the payout control unit power-on process of FIG. 151, the PRDY signal output setting information is read out from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM. The read out PRDY signal output setting information, that is, the PRDY signal whose logic is LOW, is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a to the CR unit 6 through the game ball connection device connection plate 869. .

  Thus, the retry error flag RTERR-FLG is an internal factor when the value of the inconsistency counter INCC is equal to or more than the inconsistency threshold INCTH in the determination of step S780 in the retry operation monitoring process shown in FIG. 162. In the process of step S786 in the same process, the retry error flag RTERR-FLG is set to the value 1 while the operation switch 954 is operated, causing this external factor to trigger. The value 0 is set to the retry error flag RTERR-FLG in response to the occurrence, and the initialization is performed. The retry error flag RTERR-FLG is operated when the operation switch 954 is operated to clear the RAM when the power is turned on, that is, the operation switch 954 is operated to clear the RAM to cancel the error. As in the case where the switch 954 is operated, it is initialized upon occurrence of this external factor.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1, the main control side main processing is executed from the time the power is turned on, with respect to the operation switch 954 (operation switch), which was originally used to cancel the error that occurred in the dispensing operation. An operation unit for exerting a RAM clear function for starting initialization of the main control built-in RAM (game storage unit) and the payout control built-in RAM (payout storage unit) for a predetermined time until It functions as In addition, the pachinko machine 1 causes the operation switch 954 to function as an operation unit for canceling an error that has occurred in relation to the payout operation of the game ball after the predetermined time has elapsed. Here, even if the store clerk is not accustomed to the operation of the pachinko machine, even if the position of the operation switch 954 on the back of the gaming machine is remembered, according to the timing at which the operation switch 954 is operated, If the predetermined time has passed since the power was turned on, the function to release the error generated for the payout operation of the gaming ball is exhibited, while according to the timing when the operation switch 954 is operated, it is predetermined from the power turned on If it is within the time, the function of initializing the storage unit can be exhibited. Therefore, even if an error occurs in such a gaming machine, the hall clerk can improve the efficiency of the switch operation at the time of handling the error and can cope appropriately without losing the switch operation, so the game is interrupted. It is possible to resume the game before the player who has lost the game loses the will to play.

[15-12. Exchange of various signals with CR unit]
Next, the CR communication process of step S554 in the payout control unit main process of the payout control unit power-on process of FIG. 151 will be described using a timing chart. In this CR communication process, various signals are exchanged between the payout control board 951 and the CR unit 6 shown in FIG. First, signal processing at the time of a dispensing operation by ball lending will be described, and subsequently, an input signal confirmation process from the CR unit 6 will be described. Here, the number of gaming balls for 200 yen as the amount of money (in the present embodiment, 50 balls, and the payout operation of 25 balls for 100 yen is performed twice as the amount) is the number of lent balls, The case of paying out to the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 will be described. The BRQ signal, the BRDY signal and the CR connection signal from the CR unit 6 read out the input information from the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM and are stored in the read input information, and the CR communication processing is performed. , From the input information, confirms the logic state of the BRQ signal, the BRDY signal and the CR connection signal every 2 ms which is an interrupt timer period.

[15-12-1. Signal processing at the time of payout operation by ball rental]
The payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952 in the payout control board 951 reads out the PRDY signal output setting information from the CR communication information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and the read PRDY signal output setting information pays out the lent ball. When it is set to the logic state of the PRDY signal that indicates that the payout operation is possible, as shown in FIG. 165 (d), the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is possible. In order to communicate the logic of the PRDY signal as HI, that is, start up and hold and output from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952, and as the PRDY, a gaming ball lending device connection terminal The signal is output to the CR unit 6 via the plate 869 (timing H0). In this state, for example, when the ball lending button 328 is pressed by the player, the ball lending button 328 is turned on (turned on), and this ball lending operation signal is TDS shown in FIG. 125. The frequency display plate 365 is input to the CR unit 6 through the game ball and the like lending device connection terminal plate 869. As shown in FIG. 165 (a), the CR unit 6 to which this TDS has been input pays out the number of gaming balls worth 200 yen to the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 as the number of lent balls, as shown in FIG. The ball request signal BRDY is output from the CR unit 6 to the payout control board 951 (the payout control MPU 952a) through the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869, and the signal is raised and held (timing H1) . The BRDY signal is input as a BRDY signal to an input terminal of a predetermined input port of the payout control MPU 952a.

  As shown in FIG. 165 (b), the payout control MPU 952a receives the BRDY signal, and the payout control program sets the lending request monitoring time HA (from 20 milliseconds (ms) to 58 ms in this embodiment) from timing H1. The predetermined number of lent balls (in this embodiment, 25 balls) in one payout operation from the CR unit 6 through the game ball etc. lending device connection terminal plate 869 until the elapsing. ) It is monitored whether or not BRQ, which is a single request for starting dispensing operation to pay out 100 yen as the amount of money, rises.

  Since the CR unit 6 pays out the ball number of the gaming ball for 100 yen to the upper plate 321 or the lower plate 322 as the rental ball number among the ball number of the gaming ball for 200 yen as an amount, as shown in FIG. As shown in), until the lending request monitoring time HA elapses from the timing H1, the BRQ is output from the CR unit 6 to the CR unit 6 via the gaming ball lending device connection terminal plate 869, and the signal thereof Start up and hold (timing H2). The BRQ is input as a BRQ signal to an input terminal of a predetermined input port of the payout control MPU 952a.

  As shown in FIG. 165 (c), when the BRQ signal rises from the timing H1 until the lending request monitoring time HA elapses, the payout control MPU 952a causes the BRQ demand acknowledgment ACK monitoring time HB from the timing H2 (in this embodiment, In order to indicate that one dispensing operation has been started by the time 20 ms ± 1 ms has elapsed, the logic of the EXS signal is set to HI, that is, the activated state is held and the dispensing control MPU 952a Output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port, and to the CR unit 6 via the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 as EXS (timing H3).

  The CR unit 6 to which this EXS has been input is, as shown in FIG. 165 (b), from the timing H3 until the lending instruction monitoring time HC (set to 20 ms to 58 ms in this embodiment) has elapsed. The BRQ that has been raised and held from the timing H2 is output from the CR unit 6 to the payout control board 951 via the game ball etc. lending device connection terminal plate 869, and the signal is dropped and held (timing H4).

  As shown in FIG. 165 (c), the payout control MPU 952a performs one payout operation until the payout monitoring time HD (in this embodiment, the ball payout time is set) elapses from timing H4. It goes and pays out to the upper plate 321 or the lower plate 322 as the number of balls for the predetermined number of lent balls, that is, the number of gaming balls for 100 yen as the number of lent balls. Then, when the dispensing monitoring time HD has elapsed, the EXS signal raised and held from the timing H3 is held at the logic LOW, that is, in the lowered state, and output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the dispensing control MPU 952a. , EXS are output to the CR unit 6 via the game ball and the like lending device connection terminal plate 869 (timing H5).

  Since CR unit 6 pays out the ball number of the game ball for the remaining 100 yen to the upper plate 321 or the lower plate 322 as the lent ball number out of the ball number of the game ball for 200 yen as the amount, FIG. ) Until the next request confirmation timing HE (in the present embodiment, it is set to 268 ms at maximum) from the timing H5, the BRQ from the CR unit 6 to the lending device connection terminal board from the CR unit 6 The signal is output to the payout control board 951 (the payout control MPU 952a) via 869, and the signal is raised and held (timing H6).

  As shown in FIG. 165 (c), the payout control MPU 952a similarly pays out the remaining 100 yen worth of gaming balls to the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 as the number of lent balls using the method described above. The EXS signal which has been raised and held is held with its logic as LOW, that is, in the lowered state, and is output from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a, and as EXS, a game ball connection device connection terminal The signal is output to the CR unit 6 via the plate 869 (timing H7).

  The CR unit 6 stands from the timing H1, as shown in FIG. 165A, until the CR unit lending completion monitoring time HF (in the present embodiment, the maximum is 268 ms) elapses from the timing H7. The BRDY raised and held is output from the CR unit 6 to the payout control board 951 (the payout control MPU 952a) through the game ball etc. lending device connection terminal plate 869, and the signal is dropped and held (timing H8).

  The above-mentioned loan request monitoring time HA, BRQ request acceptance ACK monitoring time HB, lending instruction monitoring time HC, delivery monitoring time HD, next request confirmation timing HE, CR unit lending completion monitoring time HF is the delivery control shown in FIG. 151. It is clocked by the timer update process of step S 552 in the processing at the time of turning on the division power supply (delivery control unit main processing).

  The payout control MPU 952a is not in communication with the CR unit 6 when there is a ball out, a ball is out, a payout detection sensor error, a retry error, a full tank, etc. (BRDY from the CR unit 6 When the logic is LOW, that is, when it falls and is held, as shown in FIG. 165 (d), the PRDY signal which is raised and held from the timing H1 is in a state where the logic is LOW, that is, it is fallen. , And output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a to the CR unit 6 as a PRDY through the gaming ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 (timing H9). On the other hand, when communicating with the CR unit 6 (when the logic of BRDY from the CR unit 6 is HI, that is, rising and held), the state of the logic of the EXS signal is maintained and the payout is made, though not shown. It outputs from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the control MPU 952a, and outputs it as the EXS to the CR unit 6 through the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869. “Maintain the logic state of the EXS signal” means that when the logic of the EXS signal is LOW (when the EXS signal falls and is held), the logic LOW is maintained and the logic of the EXS signal is HI ( When the EXS signal is rising and held) is to maintain its logic HI.

  Thus, the CR unit 6 exchanges various signals with the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952 in the payout control board 951, and the payout control MPU 952a sets the ball number of the gaming ball for 200 yen as the amount and 100 as the amount. By performing the payout operation of 25 balls for the yen twice, the game balls with 50 balls for the number of lent balls are paid out to the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322. When a store clerk or the like in the hall operates a setting unit (not shown) provided on the front side of the CR unit 6, for example, the upper plate 321 or the number of gaming balls for 100 yen is used as the amount of money. When it is set to pay out to the lower tray 322, the payout control MPU 952a performs one payout operation of 25 balls of 100 yen as the amount of money, and the number of gaming balls of 500 yen as the amount of money as the amount of lent balls as the amount of money. When it is set to pay out to the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322, the payout control MPU 952a performs the payout operation of 25 balls for 100 yen as an amount five times, and the ball number of gaming balls for 1,000 yen as an amount When it is set to pay out to the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 as the number of balls to be lent, the payout control MPU 952a performs the payout operation of 25 balls for 100 yen as the amount of money 10 times.

[15-12-2. Confirmation process of input signal from CR unit]
The payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952 in the payout control board 951 uses the CR unit 6 to send a BRQ from the CR unit 6 via the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 even if the lending request monitoring time HA described above has elapsed. CR unit 6 connects BRDY from CR unit 6 to a game ball lending device connection even if the signal is not output to payout control board 951 and the above-mentioned lending instruction monitoring time HC has elapsed. The CR unit 6 plays the BRQ from the CR unit 6 even when the signal is not output via the terminal plate 869 and is not output to the payout control board 951 or when the next request confirmation timing HE described above has elapsed. The signal is output to the payout control board 951 via the ball lending device connection terminal plate 869, and the signal is not activated, or the CR unit described above Even if the ejection completion monitoring time HF has elapsed, the CR unit 6 outputs BRDY from the CR unit 6 to the payout control board 951 via the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 and does not drop the signal. In this case, PRDY and EXS described above are used to confirm whether BRQ and BRDY are normal. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 165 (e) and 165 (f), when the payout control MPU 952a determines that BRQ and BRDY are not normal (timing J0), a predetermined period JA from this timing J0 (in the present embodiment) , 200 ms ± 1 ms), the logic of the PRDY signal is changed to LOW, that is, held down and output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control unit 952 Output as a PRDY signal to the CR unit 6 via the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869, and the logic of the EXS signal is set to LOW, that is, held down, and the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a To the CR unit 6 via the game ball connection device board 869 as an EXS. (Timing J1).

  Subsequently, the payout control MPU 952a sets the PRDY signal, which has been dropped from timing J1 and held, to a logic of HI after elapse of a predetermined period JB (set to 200 ms ± 1 ms in the present embodiment) from timing J1.

  Subsequently, the payout control MPU 952a sets the PRDY signal, which has been raised from timing J2 and held, to LOW after the elapse of a predetermined period JC (set to 100 ms ± 1 ms in the present embodiment) from timing J2. In other words, it holds in the lowered state and outputs it from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a, and outputs it as the PRDY to the CR unit 6 via the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 (timing J3 ).

  Subsequently, the payout control MPU 952a sets the PRDY signal, which has been dropped from timing J3 and held, to a logic of HI after elapse of a predetermined period JD (in this embodiment, 100 ms ± 1 ms) from timing J3. That is, it holds in a raised state and outputs it from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a, and outputs it as the PRDY to the CR unit 6 via the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 (timing J4 ).

  Subsequently, the payout control MPU 952a sets the PRDY signal, which has been raised from timing J4 and held, to LOW after the elapse of a predetermined period JE (100 ms ± 1 ms in this embodiment) since timing J4. That is, it holds in the lowered state and outputs it from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a, and outputs it as the PRDY to the CR unit 6 via the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 (timing J5 ).

  Subsequently, the payout control MPU 952a sets the PRDY signal, which has been dropped from timing J5 and held, to a logic of HI after elapse of a predetermined period JF (set to 10000 ms ± 1 ms in the present embodiment) from timing J5. That is, it holds in a raised state and outputs it from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the payout control MPU 952a, and outputs it to the CR unit 6 as a PRDY through the game ball lending device connection terminal plate 869 (timing J6 ).

  The predetermined period JA to the predetermined period JF described above are timed by the timer update process of step S552 in the payout control unit power-on process (dispense control unit main process) shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 126, the peripheral control board 1510 includes a peripheral control unit 1511 and a liquid crystal display control unit 1512. Here, various control processes of the peripheral control unit 1511 will be described. First, peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described, and then peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt processing, LOCKN signal The history creation process, the connection failure determination process, and the connection recovery process will be described. The LOCKN signal history creation process is executed as one process of the drawing state information acquisition process of step S1110 in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process described later, and the connection failure determination process and the connection recovery process are performed when the peripheral control unit power is turned on described later. This process is executed as one process of the warning process in step S1024 in the peripheral control unit steady process of the process, and the connection recovery process is performed following the connection failure determination process. In the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit blackout notification signal interrupt processing is set highest as the priority of the interrupt processing, and then the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and peripheral control unit It is set in order of V blank interrupt processing.

[16-1. Various control processing of peripheral control unit]
[16-1-1. Peripheral control unit power-on process]
First, peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described with reference to FIG. When the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 performs processing when the peripheral control unit is turned on, as shown in FIG. When the peripheral control unit power-on process is started, the effect control program performs an initial setting process under the control of the peripheral control MPU 1511a (step S1000). In this initial setting process, the effect control program performs a process of initializing the peripheral control MPU 1511a itself, a hot start / cold start determination process, a process of setting a wait timer after reset, and the like. The peripheral control MPU 1511a first performs a process of initializing itself. The time taken for the process of initializing the peripheral control MPU 1511a is on the order of microseconds (μs), and initializes the peripheral control MPU 1511a in an extremely short time. be able to. As a result, the peripheral control MPU 1511a enters the state in which the interrupt permission is set, for example, as shown in FIGS. 143 and 144, which is output from the main control board 1310 in peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing described later. It will be in the state which can receive various commands, such as a command about control of game production production, a command about a state of pachinko machine 1, etc.

  In the hot start / cold start determination process, with regard to the peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in FIG. 127, effect backup information (1 fr) which is contents backed up in Bank 1 (1 fr) and Bank 2 (1 fr) in the backup first area 1511 cb. ), And the effect backup information (1 ms), which is the contents backed up in Bank 1 (1 ms) and Bank 2 (1 ms), and compare Bank 3 (1 fr) and Bank 4 (1 fr) in the backup second area 1511 cc. Compare the effect backup information (1fr) which is the content backed up in, and the effect backup information which is the content backed up in Bank 3 (1 ms) and Bank 4 (1 ms) The contents stored in Bank 1 (1 fr) to Bank 0 (1 fr), which is a normally used storage area of peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in FIG. Copy back the effect backup information (1fr) that is the effect backup information (1 ms), which is the content stored in Bank 1 (1 ms) for Bank 0 (1 ms), and compare them as hot start, and compare When the contents do not match (that is, when they do not match), the value 0 is forcibly written to Bank 0 (1 fr) and Bank 0 (1 ms), which are normally used storage areas of peripheral control RAM 1511 c. And a cold start.

  Further, in the hot start / cold start determination process, the effect backup information which is the contents backed up in Bank1 (SRAM) and Bank2 (SRAM) in the backup first area 1511 db also for the peripheral control SRAM 1511 d shown in FIG. 127. The (SRAM) is compared, and the effect backup information (SRAM) which is the content backed up in Bank 3 (SRAM) and Bank 4 (SRAM) in the backup second area 1511 dc is compared. When the compared contents are identical, effect backup information (SRAM) which is the contents stored in Bank 0 (SRAM) to Bank 0 (SRAM) which is a storage area normally used of peripheral control SRAM 1511 d shown in FIG. 127. ) Is copied back to make a hot start, while when the compared contents do not match (that is, when they do not match), a value for Bank 0 (SRAM), which is a storage area normally used of peripheral control SRAM 1511 d Force 0 to write a cold start. Following such a hot start or cold start, the value 0 is forcibly written into the backup non-management target work area 1511 cf of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in FIG. 127 and cleared to zero. Then, after the peripheral control MPU 1511a performs this initialization setting processing, it outputs a clear signal to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af shown in FIG. 127 and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e shown in FIG. 126 and resets the peripheral control MPU 1511a. I try to prevent it.

  Following step S1000, the effect control program performs current time information acquisition processing (step S1002). In this current time information acquisition processing, calendar information for specifying a date and time information for specifying hour / minute / second are acquired from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC 41654a of the RTC control unit 4165 shown in FIG. The RTC information acquisition storage area 1511 cad of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in is set in the calendar information storage unit as current calendar information, and in the time information storage unit as current time information. Further, in the current time information acquisition process, the brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device is also performed. In this brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device, the peripheral control MPU 1511a acquires the brightness setting information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165, and the game board is adjusted to the LED brightness included in the obtained brightness setting information. A process of adjusting the brightness of the backlight of the side effect display device 1600 and lighting it is performed. The luminance setting information is, as described above, luminance adjustment information for adjusting the range of the luminance of the LED of the game board side effect display device 1600 from 100% to 70% in 5% steps, and the present The luminance of the LED which is the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 being set is included.

  Specifically, in the brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device, the brightness of the LED included in the brightness setting information stored in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165 is 75% and the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 When lighting up, the brightness of the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is adjusted based on the brightness adjustment information included in the brightness setting information, and the brightness stored in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165 is lit. When the brightness of the LED included in the setting information is 80% and the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is turned on, the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is based on the brightness adjustment information contained in the brightness setting information. Adjust the brightness and turn on. In the brightness setting process of this liquid crystal display device, the same correction as the brightness correction program for correcting the brightness of the game board side effect display device 1600 according to the use time of the game board side effect display device 1600 described above It is supposed not to be done at all. This is because a correction program similar to the brightness correction program is incorporated into the brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device, so that the brightness of the LED is corrected toward 100% each time the brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device is executed. It is to prevent being done.

  In the present embodiment, the peripheral control MPU 1511a acquires calendar information and time information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC 4165a only once at power-on. The peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs a clear signal to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e after performing the current time information acquisition processing so that the peripheral control MPU 1511a is not reset.

  Following step S1002, the effect control program sets a value 0 to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG (step S1006). The V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not peripheral control unit steady processing to be described later is to be performed, and has a value of 1 when peripheral control unit steady processing is executed, and peripheral control unit steady processing The value is set to 0 when not executing. The V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is executed when the V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the peripheral control MPU 1511 a can be received is input from the sound source built-in VDP 1512 a as a peripheral control described later. The value 1 is set in part V blank signal interrupt processing. In this step S1006, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is initialized once by setting the value 0 to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG. Peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs a clear signal to peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af and peripheral control external WDT 1511e after setting V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG to a value of 0 so that peripheral control MPU 1511a is not reset. There is.

  Subsequent to step S1006, the effect control program determines whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1 (step S1008). If the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is not 1 (is 0), the process returns to step S1008 to repeatedly determine whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is 1 or not. By repeating such a determination, it will be in the state which waits until peripheral control part steady processing is performed. Also, after determining whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1, the peripheral control MPU 1511 a outputs a clear signal to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511 af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511 e to reset the peripheral control MPU 1511 a. I try to prevent it.

  When the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1 in step S1008, that is, when the peripheral control unit steady process is to be performed, the steady process in progress flag SP-FLG is set to a value 1 (step S1009). The steady process in progress flag SP-FLG is set to a value 1 when the peripheral control unit steady process is being executed, and a value 0 when the peripheral control unit steady process is completed.

  Subsequent to step S1009, the effect control program performs a 1 ms interrupt timer activation process (step S1010). In this 1 ms interrupt timer activation process, the 1 ms interrupt timer for executing peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing to be described later is activated, and the number of times the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated and peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is executed The value 1 is set to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN for counting and the initialization of the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN is also performed. The 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is updated by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process.

  Subsequent to step S1010, the effect control program performs lamp data output processing (step S1012). In this lamp data output process, the effect control program performs DMA serial continuous transmission to the lamp drive board 4170 shown in FIG. Here, serial drive I / O port serial transmission for a lamp drive substrate is performed using the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac of the peripheral control MPU 1511 a shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the lamp drive substrate side transmission data storage area 1511 caa of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c externally attached to the peripheral control MPU 1511 a shown in FIG. The game board side light emission data SL-DAT for outputting lighting signals, blinking signals, or gradation lighting signals to a plurality of LEDs of various decoration boards provided on the game board 5 are created by a lamp data creation process described later Is set.

  The peripheral control CPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. 127 designates transmission of the lamp drive board serial I / O port as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and the lamp drive board side transmission data storage area 1511caa The first 1 byte of the game board side light emission data SL-DAT stored in the top address is sent to the serial I / O port for a lamp drive board via the external bus 1511 h, peripheral control bus controller 1511 ad, and peripheral bus 1511 ai Transfer and write to the transmit buffer register of Thus, the lamp drive board serial I / O port transfers the data of the written transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and one byte of the transmission shift register is synchronized with the game board-side light emission clock signal SL-CLK. Start sending data one bit at a time.

  The peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac is triggered every time a transmission interrupt request for a lamp drive substrate serial I / O port is generated (in the present embodiment, to the transmission buffer register of the lamp drive substrate serial I / O port). It is triggered by the fact that the written 1 byte data is transferred to the transmission shift register and the transmission buffer register becomes empty due to the lack of 1 byte data.) The peripheral control CPU core 1511 aa uses the bus If not, the remaining game board-side light emission data SL-DAT stored in the lamp drive board side transmission data storage area 1511caa is byte by byte, via the external bus 1511h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad, and the peripheral bus 1511ai Transmission of serial I / O port for lamp drive board By transferring to the buffer register for writing, the lamp drive board serial I / O port transfers the data of the written transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, in synchronization with the game board-side light emission clock signal SL-CLK. Transmission of 1-byte data of the transmission shift register is started bit by bit, and continuous transmission is performed by the lamp drive substrate serial I / O port.

  In the lamp data output process, the effect control program performs DMA serial continuous transmission process to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 shown in FIG. Also here, the frame I / O port serial I / O port continuous transmission is performed using the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac of the peripheral control MPU 1511 a. When serial I / O port serial transmission of the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate LED is started, the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate side LED transmission data storage area of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c externally attached to the peripheral control MPU 1511 a shown in FIG. A door-side light emission data STL-DAT for outputting lighting signals, blinking signals or gradation lighting signals to a plurality of LEDs of various decoration substrates provided in the door frame 3 is created in a lamp data creation process to be described later. Is set.

  The peripheral control CPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a designates transmission of the serial I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and the transmission data storage area of the frame decoration drive amplifier board side LED The first byte of the door-side light emission data STL-DAT stored at the top address of 1511cab is serialized to the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED via the external bus 1511h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad, and the peripheral bus 1511ai Transfer and write to the transmit buffer register of the I / O port. Thus, the frame I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate LED transfers the data of the written transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and synchronizes with the door side light emission clock signal STL-CLK. Transmission of 1-byte data is started bit by bit.

  The peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac is triggered by generation of a transmission interrupt request of the serial I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate LED (in the present embodiment, the serial I / O for the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate LED) One byte of data written to the port's transmit buffer register is transferred to the transmit shift register, and it is triggered by the fact that one byte of data is empty in the transmit buffer register and becomes empty.) Peripheral control CPU core 1511 aa When the bus is not used, the remaining door-side light emission data STL-DAT stored in the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate side LED transmission data storage area 1511cab is byte by byte, the external bus 1511h, and the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad. , And frame decoration through the peripheral bus 1511ai By transferring and writing to the transmission buffer register of the serial I / O port for the dynamic amplifier board LED, the frame I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED uses the data of the written transmission buffer register as the transmission shift register. Transfer and start transmitting data of 1 byte of the transmission shift register in synchronization with the door side light emission clock signal STL-CLK, bit by bit, and perform continuous transmission by the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED serial I / O port There is.

  Subsequent to step S1012, the effect control program performs effect operation unit monitoring processing (step S1014). In this rendering operation unit monitoring process, in the rendering operation unit information acquisition process in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process described later, the operation of the operation button 410, etc. based on detection signals from various detection switches provided in the rendering operation unit 400 Various information which acquired the is set, based on the effect operation unit information acquisition storage area 1511 cai of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in FIG. 127, the presence or absence of operation of the operation button 410 is monitored, and the state of operation of the operation button 410 Determine whether to reflect on

  Subsequent to step S1014, the effect control program performs display data output processing (step S1016). In this display data output process, drawing data for one screen (one frame) generated on the built-in VRAM of the built-in VDP 1512a in the display data creation process described later is generated from channels CH1 and CH2 shown in FIG. The game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 are outputted. Thereby, various screens are drawn on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460. In the display data output process, when drawing is performed that exceeds the drawing capability of the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source, the generated drawing data of one screen (one frame) is generated on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect The output to the display device 460 is canceled. Although this can prevent the processing time from being delayed, so-called dropping of frames will occur, but various decoration boards provided on the game board 5 shown in FIG. 8 by the lamp data output process of step S1012. From the speakers 921 shown in FIG. 5 and the upper speakers 573 shown in FIG. 2 to the various effects from the effects by the plurality of LEDs and the various decoration substrates provided on the door frame 3 by the plurality of LEDs and sound data output processing described later It is a mechanism that can give priority to the synchronization of the combined music and the effect by the sound effects.

  Subsequent to step S1016, the effect control program performs sound data output processing (step S1018). In this sound data output process, the effect control program outputs to the audio data transmission IC 1512 c as audio data obtained by serializing sound data such as music and sound effects set in the sound source built-in VDP 1512 a in sound data creation processing described later. In addition to music and sound effects, the audio data transmission IC 1512c outputs the audio data of the notification sound and the notification sound as serialized audio data. This audio data transmission IC 1512c, when serialized audio data from the sound source built-in VDP 1512a is input, is directed toward the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 as serial data of the difference system in which the right audio data is made plus and minus signals. While transmitting, the left audio data is transmitted toward the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 as serial data of a difference system in which a plus signal and a minus signal are used. Thus, in addition to stereo reproduction of music, sound effects and the like adapted to various effects from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the notification sound and the notification sound are also reproduced in stereo.

  Following step S1018, the effect control program performs scheduler update processing (step S1020). In this scheduler update process, the effect control program updates various schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511 cae of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in FIG. For example, in the scheduler update process, the screen data of the first screen data from the screen data at the top among the screen data arranged in time series constituting the screen generation schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae Update the pointer to indicate what to output.

  Also, in the scheduler update process, among the light emission data arranged in time series that make up the light emission mode generation schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511 cae, what number light emission data from the top light emission data of the various light emission data The pointer is updated to indicate whether it is an aspect.

  Also, in the scheduler update process, sound data such as music and sound effects, and sound data of notification sound and notification sound are arranged in time series that configures the sound generation schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511 cae. Among the sound command data, the pointer is updated in order to instruct which sound command data from the sound command data at the top is to be output to the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source.

  Also, in the scheduler update processing, from the drive data at the top of the drive data of the electric drive source such as the motor and the solenoid arranged in time series that configure the electric drive source schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae. The pointer is updated to indicate which drive data is to be output. Drive data of electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in time series constituting the electric drive source schedule data is peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt which is repeatedly executed each time 1 ms timer interrupt described later is generated. Updated with motor and solenoid drive processing in processing. In the motor and solenoid drive processing that is repeatedly executed each time the 1 ms timer interrupt occurs, the electric drive source such as the motor and solenoid is driven according to the drive data indicated by the pointer, and the next drive defined in time series is performed. It updates pointers to data, and updates pointers every time it executes its own processing. That is, since the drive data instructed by the pointer updated in the motor and solenoid drive processing is forcibly updated in the scheduler update process, the pointer is originally instructed for some reason in the motor and solenoid drive processing. Even when other driving data is designated from the driving data to be designated, the scheduler updating process is forcibly updated so as to instruct the driving data to be essentially designated.

  Subsequent to step S1020, the effect control program performs a received command analysis process (step S1022). In this reception command analysis process, the effect control program is transmitted from the effect display drive board 4450 via the peripheral door relay terminal board 882 and the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, and various information transmitted from the main control board 1310. The command is analyzed (command analysis means) for various commands received in peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing (command reception means) described later. The effect control program is based on the information transmitted from the effect display drive board 4450 via the peripheral door relay terminal board 882 and the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, screen generation schedule data, light emission mode generation schedule data, sound Generation schedule data, electrical drive source schedule data, etc. are extracted from various control data copy areas 1511ce of peripheral control ROM 1511b of peripheral control unit 1511 or peripheral control RAM 1511c and set in schedule data storage area of peripheral control RAM 1511c in 1511cae Do. In addition, the effect control program, the command from the main control board 1310 received in this peripheral control unit command interrupt processing, for example, start opening winning command for instructing the start of the start opening winning effect, the number of pending normal symbols A normal symbol memory command for identifying (0 to 4 pieces), a symbol tuning effect start command for instructing the start of symbol tuning effect, a symbol memory command which is output when the number of start pending changes, and the special winning opening 2005 A large winning opening 1 count display command (large winning opening count command) output each time a game ball is accepted, or a frame state 1 command (second error generation command, which indicates the content of full shown in FIG. 144) It is analyzed (command analysis means) whether or not it is a full tank error occurrence command), and it is recognized which gaming state is currently. Also, in this effect control program, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the power was turned on, the command received by the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is the main body frame open command, the main body frame close command, the door open command or the door frame closed Analyze whether it is a command or not. Various commands from the main control board 1310 are received by the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing and stored in the reception command storage area 1511 cac of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in FIG. 127. In the reception command analysis processing, The effect control program analyzes various commands stored in the reception command storage area 1511 cac. The various commands shown in FIG. 143 are various commands classified as special figure 1 tuning effect related, various commands classified as special figure 2 synchronous effect related, various commands classified as big hit related, power ON Various commands to be displayed, various commands to be classified to general drawing tuning effect related, various commands to be classified to regular electric terminal production related, various commands to be classified into notification display shown in FIG. 144, door frame opening command described above , For displaying status such as door frame closing command, body frame opening command and body frame closing command, error cancellation navigation command (corresponding to second error cancellation command) and frame state 1 command (corresponding to second error occurrence command) There are various commands which are classified, various commands which are classified as test related, and various commands which are classified as others.

  Subsequent to step S1022, the effect control program performs warning processing (step S1024). In this warning process, when the effect control program further includes various commands divided into the notification display shown in FIG. 144 in the command analyzed in the received command analysis process of step S1022 as described above, various kinds of commands are performed. The schedule data for screen generation, the schedule data for light emission mode generation, the schedule data for sound generation, the electrical drive source schedule data, etc., which are set in the abnormality display mode for executing the abnormality notification, of the peripheral control unit 1511 It extracts from various control data copy area 1511ce of peripheral control ROM 1511b or peripheral control RAM 1511c, and sets 1511cae in a schedule data storage area of peripheral control RAM 1511c. In the warning process, when a plurality of abnormalities occur simultaneously, the abnormality notification is performed from the highest priority registered in advance to the abnormality notification, and the abnormality is automatically resolved to another abnormality notification that has been resolved. It is supposed to By this, it is possible to simultaneously monitor a plurality of abnormalities without losing information that one abnormality has occurred after another abnormality has occurred and before the other is resolved. Can.

  Furthermore, in this warning process, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the power was turned on, the command analyzed in the received command analysis process (step S1022) described above by the effect control program is divided into the state display shown in FIG. Various commands, for example, an error release navi command (second error release command), the game board side is controlled, for example, by controlling the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 in a mode different from the normal production mode accompanying the rendering operation. The visual display device 1600 (render device), the door frame side effect display device 460 (render device), and the lamp (render device) are used to warn the outside visually, or a speaker is used to warn the outside aurally ( Error notification means). By doing so, when a malicious player attempts to input an error cancellation navigation command to the main control board 1310 by operating the operation switch 954 of the payout control board 951 despite the gaming state. Since the pachinko machine 1 is configured to give a warning to the outside, it is possible to prevent an unfair act on the main control board 1310 that may affect the progress of the game.

  Next, following the above-described step S1024, the effect control program performs an RCT acquisition information update process (step S1026). In this RTC acquisition information update process, the effect control program stores the calendar information storage unit acquired in the current time information acquisition process of step S 1002 and set in the RTC information acquisition storage area 1511 cad of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in FIG. The updated calendar information and the time information stored in the time information storage unit are updated. By this RCT acquisition information update process, the hour, minute, second, which is time information stored in the time information storage unit, is updated, and the year, month, and day which are calendar information stored in the calendar information storage unit based on the updated time information. The day is updated.

  Following step S1026, the effect control program performs lamp data creation processing (step S1028). In this lamp data creation process, the pointer of the effect control program is indicated among the light emission data arranged in time series, the pointer being updated in the scheduler update process of step S1020, and constituting the light emission mode generation schedule data On the basis of the light emission data, the game board side light emission data SL- for outputting lighting signals, blinking signals, or gradation lighting signals to a plurality of LEDs of various decoration boards provided on the game board 5 shown in FIG. DAT is created by extracting it from various control data copy areas 1511ce of peripheral control ROM 1511b of peripheral control unit 1511 or peripheral control RAM 1511c, and is set in lamp drive substrate side transmission data storage area 1511caa of peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. And various equipment provided to the door frame 3 The door side light emission data STL-DAT for outputting lighting signals, blinking signals or gradation lighting signals to a plurality of LEDs on the substrate, various control data copy areas 1511ce of the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control unit 1511 or the peripheral control RAM 1511c. From the frame control driving amplifier substrate side LED transmission data storage area 1511 cab of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in FIG.

  Subsequent to step S1028, the effect control program performs display data creation processing (step S1030). In this display data creation process, the pointer is updated in the scheduler update process of step S1020 in the effect control program, and the screen data indicated by the pointer among the screen data arranged in time series constituting the screen generation schedule data Are extracted from the various control data copy area 1511ce of the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control unit 1511 or the peripheral control RAM 1511c and output to the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. When the screen data is input from the peripheral control MPU 1511a, the sound source built-in VDP 1512a extracts character data from the liquid crystal and sound control ROM 1512b based on the input screen data to create sprite data, and the game board side effect display device Drawing data for one screen (one frame) to be displayed on the display 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is generated on the built-in VRAM.

  Following step S1030, the effect control program performs a sound data creation process (step S1032). In this sound data creation process, the pointer is updated in the scheduler update process of step S1020 in the effect control program, and the pointer points out of the sound command data arranged in time series constituting the sound generation schedule data. Sound command data is extracted from the peripheral control ROM 1511 b of the peripheral control unit 1511 or various control data copy areas 1511 ce of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c and is output to the sound source built-in VDP 1512 a. The sound source built-in VDP 1512a receives sound command data from the peripheral control MPU 1511a, extracts sound data such as music and sound effects stored in the liquid crystal and sound control ROM 1512b, and controls the built-in sound source While incorporating sound data such as music and sound effects according to the track numbers specified in the data, the output channel to be used is set according to the output channel number.

  In the sound data generation process, the peripheral control A / D converter 1511ak shown in FIG. 127 is activated each time the sound data generation process is performed (that is, each time the peripheral control unit steady process is performed), and the volume adjustment volume is generated. The voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotational position of the knob portion 1510 a is converted into 1024 steps of values from 0 to 1023. In the present embodiment, values of 1024 steps are divided into seven and managed as substrate volumes 0 to 6, muffled at substrate volume 0, and set to maximum volume at substrate volume 6, and substrate volume 0 to substrate The volume is set to increase toward the volume 6 respectively. The sound source built-in VDP 1512a of the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 is controlled so that the volume set in the substrate volumes 0 to 6 is transmitted, and audio data is transmitted as audio data obtained by serializing sound data in the sound data output process of step S1018 described above. By outputting to the IC 1512 c, music and sound effects are made to flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573.

  Further, the notification sound and the notification sound flow without depending on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob at all, and the sound source built-in of the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 is programmed by the program from the mute to the maximum volume. The VDP 1512a can be controlled and adjusted. The volume adjusted by this program can be changed smoothly from the muffling to the maximum volume, unlike the substrate volume divided into the seven steps described above. For example, even if a store clerk or the like in the hall turns the knob portion of the volume adjustment volume 1510a to set the volume small, the effect sound such as music or sound effect flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 becomes small. However, when a problem occurs in the pachinko machine 1 or when the player is making a fraudulent act, an alarm sound set to a large volume (in the present embodiment, the maximum volume) can be made to flow. Therefore, even if the volume of the effect sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the clerk or the like in the hall from becoming aware of the occurrence of a malfunction or the player's fraudulent act by the notification sound. Also, based on the current substrate volume set by the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob portion, the volume of the advertisement sound is reduced to prevent interference with music and sound effects. To increase the volume of the sound to make the screen being displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 more powerful in addition to music and sound effects, or advantageous for the player It can also be notified that there is a high possibility of transition to the gaming state.

  Subsequent to step S1032, the effect control program performs backup processing (step S1034). In this backup process, the contents of the effect control program stored in the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally attached with the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. 127 are stored in the backup first area 1511cb and the backup second area 1511cc. The contents are respectively copied and backed up, and the contents stored in the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the peripheral control SRAM 1511d externally attached are copied and backed up respectively to the backup first area 1511db and the backup second area 1511dc.

  Specifically, in the backup process, the peripheral control RAM 1511c is backed up for each frame (1 frame) in the backup target work area 1511ca shown in FIG. 127, that is, every time peripheral control unit steady processing is executed. The lamp drive board side transmission data storage area 1511caa, the frame decoration drive amplifier board side LED transmission data storage area 1511cab, the reception command storage area 1511cac, the RTC information acquisition storage area 1511cad, and The effect information (1fr), which is the content stored in the schedule data storage area 1511cae, is used as effect backup information (1fr) to indicate Bank1 (1fr) and Bank2 (1 for backup first area 1511cb). Peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac to r) is copied at high speed, and backup Bank3 second area 1511cc (1fr) and peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac to Bank4 (1FR) is copied at high speed.

  The high speed copy of the contents stored in Bank 0 (1fr) by this peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac will be briefly described. The peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa of peripheral control MPU 1511 a shown in FIG. 127 is a request factor of peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac. Specify the contents stored in Bank0 (1fr), copy the backup first area 1511cb to Bank1 (1fr), and from the contents stored at the start address of Bank0 (1fr), specify the end address of Bank0 (1fr) All the contents stored up to this point are copied sequentially from the start address of Bank 1 (1fr) of backup first area 1511cb successively by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte), and peripheral control MPU core 1511aa performs peripheral control Specify the contents stored in Bank0 (1fr) as the request factor of MA controller 1511ac, and copy the backup first area 1511cb to Bank2 (1fr), and from the contents stored in the top address of Bank0 (1fr), specify Bank0 The contents stored in the end address of (1fr) are all copied sequentially from the top address of Bank 2 (1fr) of the backup first area 1511cb successively by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte).

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa designates the contents stored in Bank 0 (1 fr) as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac, and designates copying of the backup second area 1511 cc to Bank 3 (1 fr). From the contents stored at the start address of) to the contents stored at the end address of Bank0 (1fr), the start address of Bank3 (1fr) of backup second area 1511cc in succession by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte) Copy all in order from the above, and the peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa specifies the contents stored in Bank 0 (1 fr) as the request factor of peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac and copy of backup second area 1511 cc to Bank 4 (1 fr) The Bank4 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511cc continuously for each predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) from the content stored at the head address of Bank0 (1fr) to the content stored at the end address of Bank0 (1fr) Copy all in order from the start address of.

  Further, in the backup processing, the peripheral control SRAM 1511d is a backup target for each frame (1 frame) in the backup target work area 1511da shown in FIG. 127, that is, whenever the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed. The peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac performs high-speed operation on Bank1 (SRAM) and Bank2 (SRAM) of the backup first area 1511db as presentation information (SRAM) which is contents stored in Bank0 (SRAM) as presentation backup information (SRAM) And the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac copies at high speed to Bank 3 (SRAM) and Bank 4 (SRAM) of the backup second area 1511 dc.

  The high speed copy of the contents stored in Bank 0 (SRAM) by this peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac will be briefly described. The peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa of peripheral control MPU 1511 a shown in FIG. 127 is a request factor of peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac. Specify the contents stored in Bank0 (SRAM), copy the backup first area 1511db to Bank1 (SRAM), and from the contents stored at the start address of Bank0 (SRAM) to the end address of Bank0 (SRAM) All of the stored contents are successively copied sequentially from the start address of Bank 1 (SRAM) in the backup first area 1511 db by a predetermined number of bytes (for example, 1 byte) successively, and the peripheral control MPU core 1511 a Specified the contents stored in Bank 0 (SRAM) as the request factor of peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac, and copy of backup first area 1511 db to Bank 2 (SRAM) and stored at the start address of Bank 0 (SRAM) All contents from the contents to the contents stored in the termination address of Bank 0 (SRAM) are sequentially copied sequentially from the top address of Bank 2 (SRAM) in the backup first area 1511 db in the order of predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte).

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa designates the content stored in Bank 0 (SRAM) as the request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac, and designates the copy of the backup second area 1511 dc to Bank 3 (SRAM). From the contents stored at the start address of) to the contents stored at the end address of Bank0 (SRAM), the start address of Bank3 (SRAM) in the backup second area 1511dc in succession by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte) Copy all in order from the above, and the peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa stores the contents stored in Bank 0 (SRAM) as a request factor of peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac to Bank 4 (SRAM) of backup second area 1511 dc. To the contents stored at the start address of Bank 0 (SRAM) and the contents stored at the end address of Bank 0 (SRAM) are continuously backed up by a predetermined number of bytes (eg, 1 byte) in the second backup area 1511 dc. Copy all from the start address of Bank 4 (SRAM) in order.

  Following step S1034, WDT clear processing is performed (step S1036). In this WDT clear processing, a clear signal is output to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511 af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511 e so that the peripheral control MPU 1511 a is not reset.

  Following step S1036, the effect control program sets the steady process in progress flag SP-FLG to 0 as the completion of execution of the peripheral control unit steady process (step S1038), and returns to step S1006 again to return the V blank signal detection flag VB. The value of 0 is set in FLG and initialized, and the determination in step S1008 is repeated until the value of 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing described later. That is, in step S1008, the process waits until the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, and when it is determined in step S1008 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is the value 1, steps S1009 to The process of S1038 is performed, and the process returns to step S1006 again. As described above, when it is determined in step S1008 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is the value 1, the processing of steps S1009 to S1038 is performed. The process of step S1009 to step S1038 is referred to as "peripheral control unit steady process".

  The peripheral control unit steady processing is started by setting the value 1 to the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG, assuming that the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed at first in step S1009, and the effect control program sets 1 ms in step S1010. Interrupt timer start processing is performed, and each processing of step S1012, step S1014, ..., and step S1036 is performed, and finally, in step S1038, the execution of the peripheral control portion steady processing is completed and the value of the flag SP-FLG is 0 Setting will complete. The peripheral control unit steady processing is executed when the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1 in step S1008. As described above, this V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is triggered by the fact that a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the peripheral control MPU 1511 a can be received is input from the VDP 1512 a with built-in sound source. In the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing to be described later, the value 1 is set. In the present embodiment, since the frame frequency (the number of screen updates per second) of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is set to approximately 30 fps per second as described above, The interval at which the blank signal is input is approximately 33.3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly performed about every 33.3 ms.

[16-1-2. Peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing]
Next, as shown in FIG. 126, a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from peripheral control MPU 1511 a of peripheral control unit 1511 can be received is input from VDP 1512 a with built-in sound source of liquid crystal display control unit 1512. The peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing which is executed in response to the following will be described. When this peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing is started, peripheral control MPU 1511a of peripheral control unit 1511 determines whether steady-state processing-in-progress flag SP-FLG has a value 0 as shown in FIG. S1045). As described above, the steady process in progress flag SP-FLG has a value 1 when the peripheral control unit steady process in step S1009 to step S1038 in the peripheral control unit power-on process in FIG. 166 is being executed. When execution of the process is completed, they are set to 0 respectively.

  If it is determined in step S1045 that the steady process processing flag SP-FLG is not 0 (is the value 1), that is, if the peripheral control unit steady process is being executed, this routine is ended as it is. On the other hand, when the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG is 0 in step S1045, that is, when the peripheral control unit steady processing is completed, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is set to 1 (step S1050), End this routine. As described above, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not peripheral control unit steady processing is to be performed, and the value 1 when peripheral control unit steady processing is executed, peripheral control When the partial steady process is not performed, the value is set to 0, respectively.

  In this embodiment, it is determined in step S1045 whether or not the steady process in progress flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, that is, whether the peripheral control unit steady process has been completed, and the peripheral control unit steady process is completed. Sometimes, the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in step S1050, but this is because the V blank signal is input when the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed. If the value 1 is set to the signal detection flag VB-FLG, the peripheral control unit steady processing currently being executed is assumed as the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed in the determination of step S1008 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. In order to forcibly cancel on the way and start the peripheral control unit steady process from the beginning, the peripheral control unit power supply shown in FIG. Peripheral control unit V blank, which is this routine, indicates that peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed by setting a value 1 to the steady processing in progress flag SP-FLG in step S1009 in time processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) In addition to signal interrupt processing, peripheral control unit steady processing is executed by setting the value in the steady processing flag SP-FLG to 0 in step S1038 in peripheral control unit power on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) in FIG. By notifying the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing of this routine that the completion has been made, the flag SP-FLG under steady processing is set to the value 0 in the determination of step S1045 in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing which is this routine. To determine whether or not the peripheral control unit steady processing has been completed. . In other words, the peripheral control unit steady processing can not be completed by the time the V blank signal is input and the next V blank signal is input.

  Thereby, in the peripheral control unit steady processing of this time, when the processing can not be completed in about 33.3 ms and the processing is dropped, the determination in step S1008 in the processing at power on of the peripheral control unit in FIG. It stands by until the V blank signal of is input. That is, the time for executing the current peripheral control unit steady processing which has been dropped is about 66.6 ms. Normally, peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing described later, which is repeatedly executed each time 1 ms interrupt timer is generated by activation of 1 ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) of FIG. Is executed only 32 times for one peripheral control unit steady process, but if there is a current peripheral control unit steady process that has been dropped, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is 64 times It is supposed to be executed only 32 times. That is, even when the peripheral control unit steady processing is processed, the consistency between the advancing state of the effect by the peripheral control steady processing and the advancing state by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing which is timer interrupt control is It does not collapse. Therefore, even when the peripheral control unit steady processing is dropped, the progressing state of the effect can be reliably aligned.

[16-1-3. Peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing which is repeatedly executed every time 1 ms interrupt timer is generated by activation of 1 ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in peripheral control unit steady processing of peripheral control unit power on processing in FIG. 166 will be described. . When this peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started, as shown in FIG. 168, peripheral control MPU 1511 a of peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 determines whether 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33 times or not. Is determined (step S1100). As described above, this 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN starts the 1 ms interrupt timer in the 1 ms interrupt timer start process in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process of the peripheral control unit power-on process in FIG. It is a counter that counts the number of times a certain peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process has been executed. In the present embodiment, since the frame frequency (the number of screen updates per second) of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is set to approximately 30 fps per second as described above, The interval at which the blank signal is input is approximately 33.3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, since the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed about every 33.3 ms, after the 1 ms interrupt timer is started in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, the next peripheral control unit steady processing is performed. The peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed only 32 times before the execution of. Specifically, when the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated in step S1010 in peripheral control unit steady processing, the first 1 ms timer interrupt is generated first, the second,..., And the 32nd 1 ms timer interrupt sequentially It will occur.

  If it is determined in step S1100 that the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN is not smaller than 33, that is, if the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt has occurred and this peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started, this routine is ended as it is. If the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is the peripheral control unit V as the priority of the interrupt processing in this embodiment. Although set higher than the blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing due to the thirty-third 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. In other words, in the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal. In order to execute the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing due to the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. Then, after the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated again in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is newly started by the generation of the first 1 ms timer interrupt. ing.

  On the other hand, when the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN is smaller than 33 in step S1100, the value 1 is added to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN (increment, step S1102). By adding the value 1 to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN, the 1 ms interrupt timer is started in the 1 ms interrupt timer start process in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process of the peripheral control unit power on process in FIG. The number of times the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, which is this routine, is executed increases by one.

  Following step S1102, motor and solenoid driving processing is performed (step S1104). In this motor and solenoid drive processing, the electric drive source schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae of the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally attached shown in FIG. 127 are arranged in time series. Of drive data of an electric drive source such as a motor and a solenoid, according to drive data indicated by a pointer, an electric drive source such as a motor and a solenoid of a frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 and a motor drive board 4180 shown in FIG. While updating the pointer to the next drive data defined in time series, and updating the pointer each time this motor and solenoid drive processing is executed.

  Specifically, in the motor and solenoid drive processing, DMA serial continuous transmission processing to the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate 194 is performed. Here, serial I / O port serial transmission of the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate motor is performed using the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac of the peripheral control MPU 1511 a shown in FIG. When serial I / O port serial transmission of the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate motor is started, first, the electrical drive source schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae of the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally attached with the peripheral control MPU 1511a In order to output a drive signal to the dial drive motor 414 of the rendering operation unit 400 based on the drive data indicated by the pointer among the drive data of electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in time series to configure The door-side motor drive data STM-DAT is extracted from the various control data copy areas 1511ce of the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control unit 1511 or the peripheral control RAM 1511c and created, and the frame decoration drive of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. A Set in the transmission data storage area 1511caf for flops substrate side motor. The peripheral control CPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a designates transmission of the frame decoration drive amplifier board motor serial I / O port as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and stores transmission data of the frame decoration drive amplifier board side motor The first 1 byte of the door-side motor drive data STM-DAT stored at the top address of the area 1511 caf is sent via the external bus 1511 h, peripheral control bus controller 1511 ad, and peripheral bus 1511 ai to the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate motor Transfer to the transmit buffer register of the serial I / O port for writing. Thus, the frame I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate motor transfers the data of the written transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and the transmission shift register is synchronized with the door side motor drive clock signal STM-CLK. The transmission of one byte of data is started bit by bit.

  The peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac is triggered by generation of a transmission interrupt request for the frame I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate motor (in the present embodiment, the frame I / O for the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate motor serial I / O One byte of data written to the port's transmit buffer register is transferred to the transmit shift register, and it is triggered by the fact that one byte of data is empty in the transmit buffer register and becomes empty.) Peripheral control CPU core 1511 aa When the bus is not used, the remaining door-side motor drive data STM-DAT stored in the frame decoration drive amplifier substrate-side motor transmission data storage area 1511 caf for 1 byte, external bus 1511 h, peripheral control bus controller Via 1511ad, and the peripheral bus 1511ai By transmitting and writing to the transmission buffer register of the serial drive I / O port for the decoration drive amplifier board motor, the serial I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier board motor transmits the data of the written transmission buffer register Transfer to 1-byte data of the transmission shift register in synchronization with the door-side motor drive clock signal STM-CLK, and start transmission one bit at a time, and continuous transmission by the serial I / O port for frame decoration drive amplifier board motor Is going.

  Further, in the motor and solenoid drive processing, DMA serial continuous transmission processing to the motor drive substrate 4180 is performed. Also here, serial drive I / O port serial transmission for motor drive board is performed using peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac of peripheral control MPU 1511 a shown in FIG. When serial I / O port serial transmission for a motor drive substrate is started, first, electrical drive source schedule data set in schedule data storage area 1511 cae of peripheral control MPU 1511 a and peripheral control RAM 1511 c externally attached is configured. Motors for moving various movable bodies provided on the game board 5 shown in FIG. 8 based on the drive data indicated by the pointer among the drive data of electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in series. The game board side motor drive data SM-DAT for outputting a drive signal to the motor or solenoid is created by extracting it from the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control unit 1511 or the various control data copy areas 1511ce of the peripheral control RAM 1511c. Peripheral control RAM 15 shown at 127 Set to 1c of the motor driving the substrate side transmission data storage area 1511Cag. The peripheral control CPU core 1511 aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511 a designates transmission of the motor drive board serial I / O port as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac and stores it at the top address of the motor drive board side transmission data storage area 1511 cag The first 1 byte of the game board-side motor drive data SM-DAT thus processed is transmitted via the external bus 1511 h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511 ad, and the peripheral bus 1511 ai, as a transmission buffer for the motor drive board serial I / O port. Transfer to register and write. Thereby, the serial I / O port for motor drive board transfers the data of the written transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and one of the transmission shift register is synchronized with the game board motor drive clock signal SM-CLK. Transmission of byte data is started bit by bit.

  The peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac is triggered every time a transmission interrupt request for the motor drive board serial I / O port is generated (in the present embodiment, to the transmission buffer register of the motor drive board serial I / O port). It is triggered by the fact that the written 1 byte data is transferred to the transmission shift register and the transmission buffer register becomes empty due to the lack of 1 byte data.) The peripheral control CPU core 1511 aa uses the bus If not, the remaining game board side motor drive data SM-DAT stored in the motor drive board side transmission data storage area 1511 cag is byte by byte via the external bus 1511 h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511 ad, and the peripheral bus 1511 ai , Serial I / O port for motor drive board By transferring and writing to the transmission buffer register, the motor drive board serial I / O port transfers the data of the written transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and the game board motor drive clock signal SM-CLK and In synchronization, transmission of 1-byte data of the transmission shift register is started bit by bit, and continuous transmission is performed by the motor drive board serial I / O port.

  Following step S1104, movable body information acquisition processing is performed (step S1106). In this movable body information acquisition processing, it is determined whether or not detection signals from various detection switches provided on the game board 5 are input, and history information of detection signals from various detection switches (for example, original position history information Movable position history information etc.) are created and set in the movable object information acquisition storage area 1511 cah of the peripheral control MPU 1511 a and the peripheral control RAM 1511 c externally attached as shown in FIG. From the history information of detection signals from various detection switches set in the movable body information acquisition storage area 1511 cah, original positions, movable positions and the like of various movable bodies provided on the game board 5 can be acquired.

  Subsequent to step S1106, rendering operation unit information acquisition processing is performed (step S1108). In this rendering operation unit information acquisition process, it is determined whether or not detection signals from various detection switches provided in the rendering operation unit 400 are input, and history information of detection signals from various detection switches (for example, operation) Operation history information of the button 410 etc.) is created and set in the rendering operation unit information acquisition storage area 1511 cai of the peripheral control MPU 1511 a and the peripheral control RAM 1511 c externally attached shown in FIG. The presence / absence of operation of the operation button 410 can be acquired from history information of detection signals from various detection switches set in the effect operation unit information acquisition storage area 1511 cai.

  Subsequent to step S1108, a drawing state information acquisition process is performed (step S1110). In this drawing state information acquisition process, history information of the LOCKN signal output from the LOCKN terminal of the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450 shown in FIG. 141 is created, and the periphery shown in FIG. It is set in the drawing state information acquisition storage area 1511 cak of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c externally attached to the control MPU 1511 a. As described above, the LOCKN signal indicates that the drawing data received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided in the effect display drive board 4450 from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided in the peripheral control board 1510 is abnormal data. Judging, it is a signal output to convey that effect, and more specifically, transmitter IC 1512d for door frame side effect provided on peripheral control board 1510, and receiver ICSDIC0 for door frame side effect provided on effect display drive board 4450 , And a signal output to request transmission of a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) for confirming (restoring) the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. The door frame side effect display device is acquired from the history of LOCKN signals set in the drawing state information acquisition storage area 1511 cak, from the frequency of the trouble between the connection of the peripheral control board 1510 and the effect display drive board 4450 and the occurrence state of the trouble. The drawing state of 460 can be acquired.

  Following step S1110, backup processing is performed (step S1112), and this routine ends. In this backup processing, the contents stored in the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally attached shown in FIG. 127 are copied to the backup first area 1511cb and the backup second area 1511cc, respectively, to back up. At the same time, the contents stored in the peripheral control MPU 1511 a and the peripheral control SRAM 1511 d externally attached are copied and backed up to the backup first area 1511 db and the backup second area 1511 dc, respectively.

  Specifically, in the backup processing, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing which is this routine is executed whenever the 1 ms interrupt timer is generated in the backup target work area 1511 ca shown in FIG. 127 for the peripheral control RAM 1511 c. The frame decoration drive amplifier substrate side motor transmission data storage area 1511 caf, the motor drive substrate side transmission data storage area 1511 cag, and the movable body information acquisition storage area 1511 cah which are included in Bank 0 (1 ms) to be backed up each time , And effect information (1 ms), which is the content stored in the effect operation unit information acquisition storage area 1511 cai, as Bank 1 (1 ms) and Bank 1 of the backup first area 1511 cb as effect backup information (1 ms) Peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac in (1 ms) is copied at high speed, and backup Bank3 second area 1511cc (1ms) and Bank4 (1 ms) to the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac copies at high speed.

  The high speed copy of the contents stored in Bank 0 (1 ms) by this peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac will be briefly described. The peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa of peripheral control MPU 1511 a shown in FIG. 127 is a request factor of peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac. Specify the contents stored in Bank 0 (1 ms), copy the backup first area 1511 cb to Bank 1 (1 ms), and from the contents stored in the start address of Bank 0 (1 ms), specify the end address of Bank 0 (1 ms) All the contents stored are successively copied sequentially from the top address of Bank 1 (1 ms) of the backup first area 1511 cb successively by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte), and the peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa performs peripheral control Specify the contents stored in Bank 0 (1 ms) as the request factor of MA controller 1511 ac and copy of backup first area 1511 cb to Bank 2 (1 ms), and from the contents stored in the start address of Bank 0 (1 ms) Bank 0 The contents stored in the end address of (1 ms) are all copied sequentially from the start address of Bank 2 (1 ms) of the backup first area 1511 cb successively by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte).

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa designates the contents stored in Bank 0 (1 ms) as the request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac, and designates copying of the backup second area 1511 cc to Bank 3 (1 ms), Bank 0 (1 ms) From the contents stored at the start address of) to the contents stored at the end address of Bank 0 (1 ms), the start address of Bank 3 (1 ms) of backup second area 1511 cc in succession by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte) Copy all in order from the above, and the peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa specifies the contents stored in Bank 0 (1 ms) as the request factor of peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac and copy of backup second area 1511 cc to Bank 4 (1 ms) The Bank4 (1 ms) of the backup second area 1511 cc for each predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) continuously from the content stored in the start address of Bank 0 (1 ms) to the content stored in the end address of Bank 0 (1 ms) Copy all in order from the start address of.

  As described above, in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, various processes relating to the effects of step S1104 to step S1108 described above as the progress of the effect are executed within a period of 1 ms. On the other hand, in the peripheral control unit steady processing in the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 166, various processing relating to the effects of step S1012 to step S1032 described above as progress of the effect is executed within a period of about 33.3 ms. doing. In peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, when 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN is not smaller than value 33 in step S1100, that is, the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt occurs and peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started Since this routine is ended as it is, even if the occurrence of the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal, the peripheral control unit by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt The start of the 1 ms timer interrupt processing is forcibly canceled, and after the 1 ms interrupt timer is started again in step S1010 in peripheral control unit steady processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, peripheral control by the generation of the first 1 ms timer interrupt Division 1 ms timer It is adapted to start the actual processing. That is, the consistency between the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit steady process and the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process which is timer interrupt control does not break. Therefore, the progressing state of the effect can be reliably aligned.

  Further, as described above, the interval at which the V blank signal is output changes somewhat depending on the liquid crystal size of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460, and the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the sound source built-in VDP 1512a Even in the manufacturing lot of the mounted peripheral control substrate 1510, the interval at which the V blank signal is output may change slightly. In the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, if the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal, the peripheral control is performed. In order to execute the section V blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control section 1 ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. That is, in the present embodiment, even if the interval at which the V blank signal is output changes a little, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. It is possible to absorb a time lag due to a slight change in the interval at which the V blank signal is output.

[16-1-4. Peripheral control command reception interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 will be described. The peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 is triggered to transmit various commands from the main control board 1310 as serial data, and is triggered thereby to incorporate the main peripheral serial data in the peripheral control MPU 1511a. One byte (8 bits) of information is taken into the reception buffer at the board serial I / O port, and when this taking is completed, an interrupt is generated triggered by this taking, and peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is performed. In the main cycle serial data, one packet is composed of 3 bytes, the status is assigned as the first byte, the mode is assigned as the second byte, and the status and mode are regarded as numerical values as the third byte and the total The calculated sum value is assigned.

  When the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process is started, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 determines whether the 1 byte reception period timer has timed out, as shown in FIG. 169 (step S1200). The 1-byte reception period timer is for setting a period in which information of 1 byte (8 bits) can be received among the main cycle serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310.

  When the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out in step S1200, that is, within a period in which 1-byte (8 bits) information can be received among the main cycle serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310, The 1-byte information received from the reception buffer of the main control board serial I / O port incorporated in the control MPU 1511a is taken (step S1202), and the value 1 is added to the reception counter SRXC (increment, step S1204). The reception counter SRXC is a counter that indicates the number of times of extraction from the reception buffer, and has a value of 1 when the status of the first byte of the main cycle serial data is extracted from the reception buffer, and a mode of the second byte of the main cycle serial data. When the data is taken out from the reception buffer, the value 2 is obtained, and when the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data is taken out from the reception buffer, the value becomes 3. The reception counter SRXC is set to an initial value 0 at power on or the like.

  Following step S1204, it is determined whether the reception counter SRXC has a value of 3, that is, whether the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data has been extracted from the reception buffer (step S1206). In this determination, following the status, which is the first byte of the main cycle serial data, the mode, which is the second byte of the main cycle serial data, and the sum value, which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data, from the reception buffer It is determined whether or not it has been taken out.

  When the reception counter SRXC is not the value 3 in step S1206, that is, the status which is the first byte of the main cycle serial data, the mode which is still the second byte of the main cycle serial data, and the third byte of the main cycle serial data If the sum value is not taken out from the reception buffer in order, the 1-byte reception period timer is set (step S1208), and this routine is ended. By setting the 1-byte reception period timer in step S1208, a period in which the mode which is the second byte of the main cycle serial data or the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data can be received is set.

  On the other hand, when the reception counter SRXC has the value 3 in step S1206, that is, following the status of the first byte of the main cycle serial data, the mode of the second byte of the main cycle serial data and 3 of the main cycle serial data. When the sum value which is the byte number is taken out from the reception buffer in order, the initial value 0 is set to the reception counter SRXC (step S1210), and the sum value is calculated (step S1212). In this calculation, the status which is the first byte of the main cycle serial data and the mode which is the second byte of the main cycle serial data, which have already been extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202, are regarded as numerical values and their sum (sum value Calculate).

  Following step S1212, it is determined whether the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202 matches the sum value calculated in step S1212 (step S1214). The sum value that is the third byte of the main cycle serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202 is the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main cycle serial data of the main cycle serial data from the main control board 1310 Therefore, it should be consistent with the sum value calculated in step S1212. However, pachinko machine 1 is supplied with gaming balls from a pachinko facility, and when the gaming balls rub against each other to be charged, they are electrostatically discharged and generate noise, so pachinko machine 1 is affected by noise. It is under the file environment. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit 1511 considers the status allocated as the first byte of the received main cycle serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main cycle serial data as numerical values. Whether the calculated sum value matches the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main cycle serial data in the main cycle serial data from the main control board 1310 It is judged whether or not. Accordingly, peripheral control MPU 1511 a determines whether or not the main cycle serial data has been changed to main cycle serial data different from normal due to the influence of noise between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510. be able to.

  If the sum value, which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202, matches the sum value calculated in step S1212 in step S1214, the received main cycle serial data The status allocated as the 1st byte and the mode allocated as the 2nd byte of the main cycle serial data are shown in FIG. 127, which are peripheral control MPU 1511a and receive command storage area 1511cac of peripheral control RAM 1511c externally attached. (Step S1216), and this routine ends. The receive command storage area 1511 cac is used as a ring buffer, and the status allocated as the first byte of the main cycle serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main cycle serial data are the receive command storage area. It is stored in the peripheral control unit reception ring buffer 1511 cac. This "peripheral control unit reception ring buffer" is a buffer that is used so that the end of the buffer and the beginning are connected, and data is stored sequentially from the beginning of the buffer, and when the end of the buffer is reached, it is returned to the beginning Remember. Note that the peripheral control MPU 1511a allocates the status allocated as the first byte of the main cycle serial data and the second byte of the main cycle serial data, which are stored in the peripheral control unit reception ring buffer in step S1216. The stored mode is associated with the stored mode, and the sum value allocated as the third byte is discarded.

  On the other hand, when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out in step S1200, that is, the period in which 1-byte (8 bits) information can be received of the main cycle serial data transmitted from main control board 1310 is exceeded. Sometimes, or when it is determined in step S1214 that the sum value, which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202, does not match the sum value calculated in step S1212, this routine is directly performed. finish.

[16-1-5. Peripheral control unit blackout notice signal interrupt processing]
Next, a peripheral control unit blackout notification signal which is executed when the blackout notification signal (peripheral blackout notification signal) from the blackout monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. 129 is input from the main control board 1310 The interrupt processing will be described. When the peripheral control unit blackout notification signal interrupt process is started, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 starts the 2 microsecond timer first (step S1320), and the blackout notification signal (peripheral power outage notification It is determined whether a signal is input (step S1302). If the power failure notification signal (peripheral power failure notification signal) is not input in this determination, this routine is ended as it is.

  On the other hand, when the power failure notice signal is input in step S1302, it is determined whether 2 microseconds have elapsed (step S1304). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the timer activated in step S1320 has passed 2 microseconds. If 2 macro seconds have not elapsed in step S1304, the process returns to step S1302, and it is determined whether or not the power failure notification signal is input. If the power failure notification signal is not input, this routine is ended as it is If a signal is input, it is determined again in step S1304 whether 2 microseconds have elapsed. That is, in the determination of step S1304, it is determined whether or not the power failure notification signal continues to be input for 2 microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure notification signal interrupt processing which is the present routine is started.

  When the peripheral control unit blackout notification signal interrupt processing which is the main routine is started in step S1304, and the blackout notification signal is continuously input for 2 microseconds, power saving processing is performed (step S1306). In this power saving process, the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is turned off, excitation to a motor or a solenoid provided on the game board 5 is turned off, and various LEDs are turned off. Thus, by suppressing the power consumption of the entire system of the pachinko machine 1, stable operation is ensured only for a period of 20 milliseconds which is a time during which the peripheral control MPU 1511 a can operate even if the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off.

  Following step S1306, command reception standby processing is performed (step S1308). In this command reception standby process, assuming that there are various commands being transmitted by the main control board 1310, the peripheral control MPU 1511a can receive the command being transmitted at least for a period of at least 17 milliseconds. It is supposed to wait. When a command is received, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing described above is started, and reception command storage area 1511cac (peripheral control unit reception ring buffer of peripheral control RAM 1511c externally connected with peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. 127). The received command is stored in.

  Following step S1308, command backup processing is performed (step S1310). In the backup processing of this command, the contents stored in received command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) in backup target work area 1511ca shown in FIG. 127 are stored in Bank1 (1fr) of backup first area 1511cb The peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac copies at high speed to Bank 2 (1 fr), and the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac copies at high speed to Bank 3 (1 fr) and Bank 4 (1 fr) of the backup second area 1511 cc.

  The high-speed copy of the content stored in received command storage area 1511 cac included in Bank 0 (1 fr) by peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac will be briefly described. Peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa of peripheral control MPU 1511 a shown in FIG. Specify the content stored in the receive command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) as the request factor of the control DMA controller 1511ac, and copy the backup first area 1511cb to the receive command storage area included in Bank1 (1fr) From the contents stored in the start address of the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) to the end address of the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr). All the contents stored are sequentially copied sequentially from the start address of the receive command storage area included in Bank 1 (1fr) of backup first area 1511cb in succession by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte), and peripheral control MPU The contents stored in the receive command storage area 1511 cac included in Bank 0 (1 fr) as the request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac to the receive command storage area included in Bank 2 (1 fr) of the backup first area 1511 cb The contents stored in the start address of reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) are specified from the contents stored in the end address of reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr). A predetermined number of bytes (e.g., 1 byte) all copies sequentially from the start address of the received command storage area included in the Bank2 (1FR) of the backup successively by the first area 1511Cb.

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU core 1511 aa includes the contents stored in the received command storage area 1511 cac included in Bank 0 (1 fr) as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511 ac in Bank 3 (1 fr) of the backup second area 1511 cc. The copy to the received command storage area is specified, and the contents stored in the start address of received command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) are stored in the end address of received command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) The specified contents (for example, 1 byte) are successively copied sequentially from the start address of the reception command storage area included in Bank 3 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511cc in succession by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte), and peripheral control The content stored in the receive command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) as the request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac by the PU core 1511aa is included in the receive command storage area included in Bank4 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511cc. Designating copying to the contents from the content stored in the start address of reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) to the content stored in the end address of reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) All the predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte) are successively copied sequentially from the start address of the reception command storage area included in Bank 4 (1 fr) of the backup second area 1511 cc.

  Subsequently to step S1310, it is determined whether or not a power failure notification signal (peripheral power failure notification signal) is input (step S1312). If it is determined in this determination that a power failure advance signal is input, WDT clear processing is performed (step S1314). In this WDT clear processing, peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs a clear signal to peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af shown in FIG. 127 and peripheral control external WDT 1511e shown in FIG. 126 so that peripheral control MPU 1511a is not reset. .

  On the other hand, when the power failure notification signal is not input in step S1312, or after step S1314, the process returns to step S1312 again to determine whether the power failure notification signal is input. In other words, it continues to determine infinitely whether or not the power failure notification signal (peripheral power failure notification signal) is input. By continuing determination indefinitely in this manner, when no power failure notification signal (peripheral power failure notification signal) is input in step S1312, the peripheral control MPU 1511a clears the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e. Can not be output, and the peripheral control MPU 1511a is reset, while when a power failure notice signal is input in step S1312, WDT clear processing is performed in step S1314, and the peripheral control MPU 1511a is not reset. When the peripheral control MPU 1511a is reset, the processing at power on of the peripheral control unit shown in FIG. 166 is started again.

  As described above, when the input of the power failure notification signal (peripheral power failure notification signal) continues in the infinite loop in the determination of step S1312, the peripheral control is performed immediately before the power failure state occurs by executing the WDT clear processing in step S1314. The MPU 1511a is not reset. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1312 that the input of the power failure advance notice signal is not continued and released in the infinite loop, the WDT clear process is not executed, so the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511 af and peripheral control external WDT 1511 e Output of the clear signal is interrupted. As a result, the peripheral control unit blackout notification signal interrupt processing, which is the main routine, is erroneously started due to noise and the noise is generated beyond the period of 2 microseconds and the determination in step S1302 is passed even if the step is passed. If the input of the power failure notice signal (peripheral power failure notice signal) is not continued and canceled in the infinite loop in the determination by S1312, the WDT clear processing in step S1314 is not executed, so that the peripheral control MPU 1511a is reset. Therefore, it is possible to cope with such noise by resetting automatically.

[16-1-6. LOCKN signal history creation processing]
Next, the LOCKN signal history creation process executed as one process of the drawing state information acquisition process of step S1110 in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 168 will be described. In this LOCKN signal history creation process, a history of LOCKN signals output from the LOCKN terminal of the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided on the effect display drive board 4450 shown in FIG. 141 is created. As described above, the LOCKN signal is the drawing data received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided in the effect display drive board 4450 from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided in the peripheral control board 1510 shown in FIG. If it is judged that it is abnormal data, it is a signal output to convey that effect, and more specifically, a door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided in the peripheral control substrate 1510 and a door frame provided in the effect display drive substrate 4450 It is a signal to output a transmission request for a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) for confirming (restoring) the connection between the side effect receiver ICSDIC0 and the connection, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver.

  When LOCKN signal history creation processing is started, peripheral control MPU 1511a of peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 is peripheral control RAM 1511c externally attached to peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. 127 as shown in FIG. The LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST is read out from the drawing state information acquisition storage area 1511cak (step S1500). The LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST stores 1 byte (8 bits: most significant bits B7, B6, B5, B4, B3, B2, B1, least significant bits B0, "B" represents a bit). The history of the LOCKN signal output from the LOCKN terminal of the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 having a capacity and provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450 is stored in the drawing state information acquisition storage area 1511cak as LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST It is memorized.

  Following step S1500, it is determined whether there is a LOCKN signal output from the LOCKN terminal of the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided on the effect display drive board 4450 (step S1502). In this determination, when there is a LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0, the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 determines that the drawing data received from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d is abnormal data. Requests transmission of a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) for confirming (restoring) the connection between the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0, the drawing data received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d is not abnormal data (normal Data)) and It does not request transmission of a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) to confirm (recover) the connection between the frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0, that is, the connection between the transmitter and receiver. It is determined that

  When there is a LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 in step S1502, shift processing of the LOCKN signal detection history information is performed (step S1504). In the shift process of the LOCKN signal detection history information, when there is a LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0, the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST read in step S1500 is processed by the most significant bits B7 ← B6, B6 ← B5, B5 B B4, B4 B B3, B3 B B2, B2 B B1, B1 ビ ッ ト least significant bit B0, and so on, one bit at a time from the least significant bit B0 to the most significant bit B7.

  When the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST is shifted in step S1504, the value 1 is set to the least significant bit B0 of the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST (step S1506), and this routine is ended.

  On the other hand, when there is no LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 at step S1502, shift processing of the LOCKN signal detection history information is performed (step S1508). In the shift process of the LOCKN signal detection history information, the same process as the shift process of the LOCKN signal detection history information of step S1504 is performed. Signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST, the most significant bits B7 ← B6, B6 ← B5, B5 ← B4, B4 ← B3, B3 ← B2, B2 ← B1, B1 ← least significant bit B0, etc. Shift one bit at a time toward the most significant bit B7.

  When the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST is shifted in step S1508, the least significant bit B0 of the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST is set to a value 0 (step S1510), and this routine is ended.

  Thus, every time this LOCKN signal history creation processing is executed, the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST is shifted from the least significant bit B0 toward the most significant bit B7 by one bit, and then shifted to the least significant bit B0. Since the value 1 or the value 0 is set, the history of the LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 can be created.

[16-1-7. Connection failure judgment processing]
Next, the connection failure determination process executed as one process of the warning process of step S1024 in the peripheral control unit steady process of the peripheral control unit power-on process shown in FIG. 166 will be described. In this connection failure determination process, the door frame side provided in peripheral control board 1510 based on the history of the LOCKN signal output from the LOCKN terminal of door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided in effect display drive board 4450 shown in FIG. 141. It is determined whether a failure has occurred in the connection between the effect transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver.

  When the connection failure determination process is started, as shown in FIG. 172, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. The LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST is read out from the drawing state information acquisition storage area 1511cak (step S1520). As described above, the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST stores the history of the LOCKN signal output from the LOCKN terminal of the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450. As described above, in the LOCKN signal, the drawing data received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided in the effect display drive board 4450 from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided in the peripheral control board 1510 is abnormal data. If it is determined that the signal is output to convey that effect, specifically, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided in the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 provided in the effect display drive substrate 4450 And a signal output to request transmission of a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) for confirming (restoring) the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, that is, between the transmitter and the receiver.

  Subsequently to step S1520, it is determined whether there is a LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 (step S1522). In this determination, it is determined whether the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST read out in step S1520 matches the connection confirmation determination value. This connection confirmation determination value is stored in advance in peripheral control ROM 1511b shown in FIG. 126, and in the present embodiment, it is "00001111B (" B "represents a bit)", and B7 to B4 of the upper 4 bits. Has a value of 0, and the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 have a value of 1. In step S1522, it is determined whether the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the connection check determination value.

  If it is determined in step S1522 that the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST read out in step S1520 do not match the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the connection check determination value, the peripheral control board 1510 is provided. It is determined that there is no problem in the connection between the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver does not occur. And exit this routine as it is.

  On the other hand, when the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the LOCKN signal detection history information LOCKN-HIST read out in step S1520 matches the lower 4 bits B3 to B0 of the connection check determination value in step S1522, peripheral control board 1510 Between the connection between the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d for preparing the frame and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 for the effect display drive board 4450, that is, the state where a failure occurs in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver It is determined that the communication check counter CC-CNT is incremented by 1 (increment, step S1524). This communication check counter CC-CNT counts up the number of times that it is determined in step S1522 that there is a failure in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver each time this routine is executed. (Count the cumulative number). The communication check counter CC-CNT is set to 0 when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and is reset. However, the communication check counter CC-CNT is not reset due to an instantaneous power failure or power failure, and the power recovery is restored. The value is restored to the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT immediately before the moment or power failure occurs.

  Following step S1524, it is determined whether the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is smaller than the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT (step S1526). In this determination, when the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is smaller than the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, the cumulative number of times the cumulative number determined that the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is in a failure state is the cumulative number If it is determined that the upper limit value CC-LMT has not been reached, but the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is not smaller (larger) than the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, a problem occurs in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver It is determined that the cumulative number determined to be in the state of having reached the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT.

  When the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is smaller than the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT in step S1526, that is, the cumulative number determined to be in a state where a failure occurs in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is the cumulative number If the upper limit value CC-LMT has not been reached, the communication error flag CC-FLG is set to the value 0 (step S1528), and this routine is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1526 that the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is not smaller (larger) than the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, that is, it is determined that a problem occurs in connection between the transmitter and the receiver. If the accumulated number has reached the accumulated number upper limit value CC-LMT, the communication abnormality flag CC-FLG is set to the value 1 (step S1530), and this routine is ended. The communication error flag CC-FLG indicates that the cumulative number of times that the connection between the transmitter and the receiver has been determined to be in a state of failure has reached the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, and the connection between the transmitter and the receiver Is a flag indicating whether or not there is a malfunction in the value, and value 1 when there is a malfunction in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, a malfunction occurs in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver When the cumulative number determined to be in the state of not being reached does not reach the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, it is set to the value 0, respectively. The communication abnormality flag CC-FLG is set to 0 when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and is reset. However, the communication abnormality flag CC-FLG is not reset due to an instantaneous power failure or a power failure, and the power recovery is restored. It is restored to the value of the communication abnormality flag CC-FLG immediately before the moment or power failure occurs at time.

[16-1-8. Connection recovery process]
Next, connection recovery processing executed as one of the warning processing in step S1024 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing shown in FIG. 166 will be described. In this connection recovery process, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided on the peripheral control board 1510 and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 provided on the effect display drive board 4450 are executed subsequent to the connection failure determination process shown in FIG. While outputting a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) to confirm (restore) the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, that is, when the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is abnormal Report that fact.

  When connection recovery processing is started, as shown in FIG. 173, peripheral control MPU 1511a of peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 performs peripheral control steady processing in the peripheral control unit power-on processing shown in FIG. Of the various schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. 127 in the scheduler update process of step S1020, it is determined whether or not the screen generation schedule data is being activated (step S1540). In this determination, in order to instruct, in the scheduler update process, what screen data from the top screen data among the screen data arranged in time series forming the screen generation schedule data is to be output to the VDP 1512a with built-in sound source. Then, it is determined whether the pointer has been updated. In other words, in the scheduler update process, when the pointer is being updated, the effect is progressing along the screen generation schedule data, so it is determined that the screen generation schedule data is active, while the screen generation schedule When the effect is completed according to the data and all the updating of the pointer is completed, it is determined that the screen generation schedule data is not activated. In this determination, a demonstration screen is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 in a period during which the game board side effect display device 1600 displays the start screen when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and waiting for customers. It is possible to judge based on the screen generation schedule data whether or not it is a period, and display the start screen at the time of powering on of the pachinko machine 1 on the game board side effect display device 1600 If it is in a waiting period or a waiting period for a demonstration by the game board side effect display device 1600, the process proceeds to step S1542 described later, while the start screen at the time of powering on the pachinko machine 1 is on the game board side During the period displayed on the effect display device 1600 or waiting for customers, the game board side effect display device 1600 That when it is not a period that is doing a demonstration in the (mere, is when in the standby state of the customer wait), which is as it is to terminate this routine.

  When the effect is progressing along the screen generation schedule data in step S1540, that is, when the screen generation schedule data is being activated, this routine is ended as it is, while the screen generation schedule data is followed in step S1540. When the effect is completed and all the pointer updating is completed, that is, when the screen generation schedule data is not activated, it is determined whether the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is not 0 (step S1542). As described above, this communication check counter CC-CNT is for the door frame side effect provided in the peripheral control substrate 1510 in the determination of step S1522 in the same process as the connection failure determination process shown in FIG. During the connection between transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450, that is, the number of times it is determined that there is a failure in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver (Count the cumulative number). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the number of times of determining that the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is in a failure state is even one.

  When the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is 0 in step S1542, that is, when it is determined that there is no failure in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, the number is not changed. While the routine is ended, even if the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is not 0 in step S1542, that is, it is determined that the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is in a failure state even if the number of times is one. If the communication abnormality flag CC-FLG is present, it is determined whether the value of the communication abnormality flag CC-FLG is 0 (step S1544). As described above, the communication abnormality flag CC-FLG indicates that the cumulative number of times that the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is determined to be in a failure state has reached the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT. A flag that indicates whether the connection between the transmitter and the receiver has definitely failed. Value 1 when the connection between the transmitter and the receiver has definitely failed: 1 between the transmitter and the receiver Is set to 0 when the cumulative number determined to be in a state where a failure occurs in the connection does not reach the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT.

  When the value of the communication error flag CC-FLG is 0 in step S1544, that is, the cumulative number of times it is determined that a problem occurs in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT If not, the SYNC pattern output process is performed (step S1546), and this routine is ended. In this SYNC pattern output process, the peripheral control MPU 1511 a outputs a connection confirmation signal to the INIT terminal of the door frame side rendering transmitter IC 1512 d included in the peripheral control substrate 1510, thereby providing the door frame side effects included in the peripheral control substrate 1510. The transmitter IC 1512 d outputs a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) to the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450. The predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) is stored in advance in the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d and is output to the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0. It restores the connection between the transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side rendering receiver ICSDIC 0, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver.

  On the other hand, when the value of the communication error flag CC-FLG is not 0 (value 1) in step S1544, that is, when a problem occurs in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, the communication error display process is performed. Then (step S1548), this routine ends. In this communication error display process, the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 provided in the game board 5 shown in FIG. 8 in order to reliably convey that the connection between the transmitter and the receiver has a problem. Do the drawing process. For example, in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, a message “A problem has occurred with the upper plate side liquid crystal display device. Please call a clerk.” Is displayed. Also, in the communication error display process, the demonstration screen by the game board side effect display device 1600 is in a period during which the game board side effect display device 1600 displays the start screen at the time of powering on the pachinko machine 1 or in waiting for customers. Between the connection between the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided on the peripheral control board 1510 and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 provided on the effect display drive board 4450 during the period being performed, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver In order to confirm whether a problem has occurred in the door frame side effect display request of the door frame side effect display device 460, LOCKN signal output request data is transmitted from the peripheral control MPU 1511a, and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 is LOCKN As a response signal to the transmission of signal output request data, When the LOCKN signal is output from the OCKN terminal to the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the LOCKN signal is not input, the door frame side effect display device 460 has a failure as a failure occurs in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. It is judged that the notification is being made, and a notification image (for example, "A problem has occurred with the upper plate liquid crystal display device. Please call a clerk.") Is displayed in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600. In addition to the processing described above, a notification sound (for example, "a problem has occurred in the upper-plate-side liquid crystal display device") is repeatedly flowed from a speaker or At this time, processing may be performed to turn on all of the LEDs for light emission decoration provided on the door frame 3 and the various kinds of LEDs mounted on various decoration substrates provided on the game board 5.

  Next, the timing at which the peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs a connection confirmation signal to the INIT terminal of the door frame side rendering transmitter IC 1512d provided on the peripheral control board 1510 shown in FIG. 128 will be described using the timing chart of FIG.

  First, to briefly describe the effect symbols variably displayed in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 provided in the game board 5 shown in FIG. The variable display of the effect design is executed by the part steady processing etc., and the main control side of the main control side power on process shown in FIG. 147 by the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. The first special lottery result drawn by the reception of the game ball to the first starting port 2002 shown in FIG. 8 by the main processing or the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. When the second special lottery result drawn by the acceptance of the game ball to the starting opening 2004 becomes "big hit", the number of repetitions (round number) of the opening and closing operation of the large winning opening 2005 shown in FIG. The game balls enter the big winning opening 2005 in a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) in a total of 15 rounds from 15 rounds to 15 rounds, and the number of balls is a predetermined number (for example, 9 balls) When it comes to), the round is to be digested, and every time one game ball enters the big winning opening 2005, a predetermined number (for example, 15 balls) of game balls are paid out .

  The first special lottery result drawn by receiving the game ball to the first starting port 2002 or the second special drawing result drawn by receiving the game ball to the second starting port 2004 can be obtained from the main control board 1310 The peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 controls the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 based on the command, whereby the left side rendering symbol is on the left side of the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, and the central rendering symbol is on the center. The fluctuation display of the right side production symbol is started on the right side, and after the predetermined time has passed, the fluctuation display of the left side production symbol, the central effect design, and the right side production symbol is stopped and the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result Can be recognized by the player, and at this time, the first special symbol display 1403 or the second special feature display of the function display unit 1400 shown in FIG. Also in the first special symbol or the second special symbols displayed in the symbol display device 1405 it is made to be able to check the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result. The left-side effect symbol, the central effect pattern, and the right-side effect symbol are translucent to the extent that the background image can be viewed when the left-side effect symbol, the central effect symbol, and the right-side effect symbol are displayed variably. From the upper left side to the lower left side of the area, the central effect design rotates from the upper center to the lower center side of the display area, and the right effect pattern rotates the reel from the upper right side to the lower right side of the display area When the left-side effect symbol, the central effect symbol, and the right-side effect symbol are stopped and displayed in a fluctuating manner, the left-side effect symbol, the central effect symbol, and the right-side effect symbol are displayed. The left-side effect design, the center effect pattern, and the right-side effect pattern become opaque so that the background image at the position is difficult to see. Thus, the first special symbol or the second special symbol to be variably displayed and stopped in the first special symbol display 1403 or the second special symbol display 1405 of the function display unit 1400 shown in FIG. 120, The left-side effect symbol, the central effect symbol, and the right-side effect symbol that are variably displayed and stop-displayed in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 are synchronized with each other.

  The peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 selects the first special lottery result drawn by receiving the game ball into the first starting port 2002 or the second drawn by receiving the game ball into the second starting port 2004. As shown in FIG. 174, the game board side shown in FIG. 8 is received by controlling the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 based on the received command when the command from the main control board 1310 conveying the special lottery result is received. When the fluctuation display of the left effect symbol, the central effect symbol, and the right effect symbol is started in the display area of the effect display device 1600 (timing K0), the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control processing at power on shown in FIG. In the scheduler update process of step S1020 in the process, schedule data storage area 1 of peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. Among the screen data arranged in time series that make up the screen generation schedule data set in 11 cae, the pointer is used to instruct which screen data from the top screen data is to be output to the VDP 1512 a with built-in sound source. Since updating is performed, that is, when the pointer is being updated in the scheduler update process, the effects are progressing along the screen generation schedule data, so the screen generation schedule data is being activated, and the screen generation schedule While the data is being activated, that is, until the variable display of left-side effect symbols, central effect symbols, and right-side effect symbols is started and stopped and displayed, the peripheral control unit power-on process shown in FIG. 166 In the warning process of step S1024 in the peripheral control unit steady process of FIG. Was also perform connection recovery process, it is determined in step S1540 in this connection restoration process, and it so as to end the routine forcibly.

  Thus, in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, the variable display of the left side effect pattern, the central effect pattern, and the right side effect pattern is started and stopped before being displayed in the communication check counter CC-CNT. Even when the value is not 0, that is, between the connection between the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450 (that is, Even if it is determined that the connection with the receiver is in a state where a failure has occurred even once, the SYNC pattern output process of step S1546 in the connection recovery process is not performed, and the transmitter and the receiver Process to recover the connection between the client and the For example, the message “The liquid crystal display device on the upper tray has a problem. Please call a clerk.” Is not displayed in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 without performing the communication error display process of step S1548. Therefore, the LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 is transmitted to notify that the drawing data received from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d is abnormal data, and the door frame side effect display device In 460, an image is displayed based on the drawing data received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d.

  When the variable display of left-side effect symbol, central effect symbol, and right-side effect symbol is started and stopped on the display area of game board side effect display device 1600 (timing K1), the peripheral control unit shown in FIG. 166 is turned on. In the scheduler update process of step S1020 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of time processing, the rendering is completed along the screen generation schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. Since all the updates have been completed, that is, while the schedule data for screen generation is not activated and the schedule data for screen generation is not activated in the scheduler update process, the peripheral control unit shown in FIG. 166 is powered on. Step S102 in peripheral control unit steady processing of time processing In the determination of step S1540 in the connection recovery process shown in FIG. 173 executed as one process of the warning process, the process proceeds to the process of step S1542 in the same process, and when the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is the value 0, that is, If the number of times it is determined that there is a failure in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is less than one, the routine is ended as it is, while the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is not 0, In other words, when the number of times it is determined that there is a problem in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is also one, the process proceeds to step S1544 in the same process, and the value of the communication abnormality flag CC-FLG is When the value is 0, ie the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is broken If the cumulative number determined to be in the state does not reach the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, the process proceeds to the processing of step S1546 in the same processing, performs the above-mentioned SYNC pattern output processing, and ends the routine, while the communication abnormality flag When the value of CC-FLG is not 0 (value 1), that is, when a problem occurs in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, the process proceeds to step S1548 in the same process, and the above-mentioned communication is performed. Perform error display processing and end the routine. In other words, while the left-side effect symbol, the central effect pattern, and the right-side effect symbol are being displayed in a stopped state in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d and the door frame side effect receiver In the case where connection between ICSDIC0 and the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is broken at one time, and the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is broken. When the cumulative number determined to be present does not reach the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, by always performing the SYNC pattern output processing, between the connection of the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0, In other words, while processing to recover the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, When the cumulative number of times when it is determined that the connection between the transmitter and the receiver has a failure has reached the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT (that is, there is a failure in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver) For example, in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, "A problem has occurred with the upper side liquid crystal display device. Please call a clerk. The LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 is transmitted to notify that the message “is displayed and to notify that the drawing data received from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d is abnormal data. Is activated.

  Fluctuation display of left-side effect symbol, center effect pattern, and right-side effect symbol is started and stopped on the display area of game board-side effect display device 1600, and fluctuation display of left-side effect symbol, center effect symbol, and right-side effect symbol again In the interval period before the start of the game, the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 is while the left effect symbol, the central effect symbol, and the right effect symbol are being displayed in a stopped state, as described above, The LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 is transmitted to convey that the drawing data received from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d is abnormal data, and the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side effect A fault occurs in the connection between the receiver ICSDIC0, that is, between the transmitter and the receiver. If the number of occurrences is at least one, and the cumulative number of times that the connection between the transmitter and the receiver has been determined to be defective has not reached the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, SYNC While the pattern output processing is always performed, processing for recovering the connection between the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, is performed, while the transmitter and receiver When the cumulative number determined to be in a state where a fault occurs in the connection between has reached the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT (that is, there is a fault in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver) ) By always performing communication error display processing, for example, the game board side effect display device 1600 The display region "problem with the upper tray side liquid crystal display device has occurred. Please call your clerk." Displays a message that to have so as to perform the process of informing.

  When the variable display of the left-side production symbol, the central production symbol, and the right-side production symbol is started again (timing K2), as described above, since the screen generation schedule data is active, the left-side production symbol and the central production symbol , And until the right-side effect design is stopped and displayed (timing K3), even if the value of the communication check counter CC-CNT is not 0, that is, for the door frame side effect provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 The number of times it is determined that there is a problem between the transmitter IC 1512 d and the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC 0 provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450 (that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver) is 1 Even if the number of times is the same, the SYNC pattern output process of step S1546 in the connection recovery process is performed , The process of recovering the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is not performed, and the communication error display process of step S1548 in the connection recovery process is not performed. For example, the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 Since the message “There is a problem with the liquid crystal display on the upper tray. Please call a clerk.” Is not displayed, the drawing data received from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d is an abnormal data. The door frame side effect display device 460 invalidates the LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 that tells that there is a drawing data received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d. Display an image based on.

  In this manner, the variable display of left-side effect symbols, central effect symbols, and right-side effect symbols is started and stopped on the display area of game-side effect display device 1600, and left-side effect symbols, central effect symbols, and right-side effects are displayed again. During the interval period until the variable display of the symbol is started, the LOCKN signal from the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 is transmitted to convey that the drawing data received from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d is abnormal data. The door frame side effect transmitter between the time when the variable display of the left effect symbol, the central effect symbol, and the right effect symbol is started and stopped on the display area of the game board effect effect display device 1600. Receiver ICSD for door frame side effect that conveys that the drawing data received from IC 1512 d is abnormal data LOCKN signal from the C0 is adapted to be disabled. It is the information that the player is most interested in combining the result of stopping and displaying the left-side effect symbol, the central effect pattern, and the right-side effect symbol in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, and the profit to the player Since the player can determine whether or not a big hit gaming state to be awarded is generated, the left-side effect symbol, the central effect symbol, and the right-side effect symbol are variably displayed in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600. Then, the image of the effect drawn in the display area of the door frame side effect display device 460 is disturbed by the influence of noise and the like until the left effect pattern, the center effect pattern, and the right effect pattern are stopped and displayed. Even if it becomes impossible to draw, it is not left to the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600, instead of interrupting the effect midway and performing processing to recover to the state where it can be drawn correctly. Performance symbol, the central performance symbol, and by stopping displaying the right performance symbol is most interested of information of the player to complete the drawing.

  In this point, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 displays a start screen at the time of powering on the pachinko machine 1 on the game board side effect display device 1600, and a customer waiting state This is largely different from the case where the LOCKN signal output request data is transmitted to the differential circuit 1512e provided in the peripheral control board 1510 during the demonstration period by the game board side effect display device 1600. The LOCKN signal output request data is a period during which the game board side effect display device 1600 displays a start screen when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, or becomes a customer wait state for a demonstration by the game board side effect display device 1600. During the period being performed, the transmitter IC 1512 d for door frame side effect provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 and transmitted from the peripheral control MPU 1511 a, and the receiver ICSDIC 0 for door frame side effect provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450 It is transmitted as an operation confirmation request of the door frame side effect display device 460 in order to confirm whether or not there is a failure in the connection between the connections, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver.

  When the LOCKN signal output request data, which is serial data output from the peripheral control MPU 1511a, is differentiated into a plus signal and a minus signal in the differentiating circuit 1512e provided in the periphery control board 1510, as described above, the differential is generated. The two signals differentiated into the plus signal and the minus signal in the conversion circuit 1512 e are input to the forced switching circuit 1512 f provided in the peripheral control board 1510. The forced switching circuit 1512 f connects the circuits so as to transmit the two signals when the two signals differentiated into the plus signal and the minus signal are input in the differentiating circuit 1512 e, so that One signal is transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3. When the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 of the liquid crystal module circuit 4450V included in the effect display drive substrate 4450 determines that the received two signals are LOCKN signal output request data, the LOCKN signal output request data is originally: As described above, since the data format is different from that of the signal output from the door-frame-side effect transmitter IC 1512 d, it is determined that the data is abnormal data, and the LOCKN signal is detected around the periphery control unit 1511 of the periphery control board 1510. It outputs to control MPU1511a. Accordingly, when the LOCKN signal is input as a response signal to the transmission of the LOCKN signal output request data, the peripheral control MPU 1511 a causes the effect display drive board 4450 not to have a problem with the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. While it can be determined that no fault has occurred, when the LOCKN signal is not input, a fault has occurred in the effect display drive board 4450 as a fault has occurred in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. It is determined that the notification image to notify that (for example, "a problem has occurred in the upper plate liquid crystal display device. Please call the clerk."), The sound source built-in VDP1512a to control the game board side effect display device An alarm sound to be output to 1600 and to that effect (for example, Problems with crystal display device has occurred. "), And notification sound from the speaker or the like provided in the door frame 3 by outputting the audio data transmission IC1512c to control the sound source built VDP1512a flows. Thereby, notification can be performed by the notification image displayed in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the notification sound repeatedly flowing from the speaker or the like provided in the door frame 3. At this time, all of the LEDs for light emission decoration provided in the door frame 3 and the various LEDs mounted on various decoration substrates provided in the game board 5 may be lighted.

  Thus, when the peripheral control MPU 1511 a of the peripheral control unit 1511 transmits LOCKN signal output request data which is serial data, the forced switching circuit 1512 f may receive the LOCKN signal output request data by the door frame side rendering receiver ICSDIC 0 The door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0, which can be connected in a circuit and receives LOCKN signal output request data, outputs a LOCKN signal to the peripheral control MPU 1511a from the LOCKN terminal of the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 as a response signal. Therefore, when the LOCKN signal is input, it can be determined that there is no failure in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, and it can be determined that the door frame side effect display device 460 does not have a failure, while Signal is input When not it can be determined that a malfunction in the door frame side effect display device 460 as a malfunction has occurred in the connection between the transmitter and receiver occurs. Then, the peripheral control MPU 1511a can execute the communication error display process of step S1548 in the connection recovery process of FIG. 173 as the notification process when it is determined that the door frame side effect display device 460 has a failure. It has become. In other words, when the peripheral control MPU 1511a discovers a defect in the door-frame-side effect display device 460, the peripheral control MPU 1511a can notify the store clerk or the like in the hall by executing notification processing to that effect. The store clerk or the like in the hall can very easily check whether or not the door frame side effect display device 460 has a problem before the player plays a game, and the check does not take time and effort. ing. Therefore, it is possible to discover a defect in the door frame side effect display device 460 without taking much time.

  Further, as described above, the LOCKN signal is that the drawing data received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided in the effect display drive board 4450 from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided in the peripheral control board 1510 is abnormal data. If it is judged that there is, it is a signal output to convey that effect, and more specifically, a door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d provided in the peripheral control substrate 1510 and a door frame side effect receiver provided in the effect display drive substrate 4450 Since it is a signal to request transmission of a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) for confirming (restoring) the connection between the ICSDIC 0 and the connection, that is, between the transmitter and the receiver, for door frame side effect Receiver ICSDIC0 is a transmitter IC1512d for door frame side effect When the image sent from the device can not be received normally, a communication failure occurs between the image communication between the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 and the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d, and the received drawing data becomes abnormal data. The LOCKN signal can be output to the peripheral control MPU 1511 a of the peripheral control unit 1511 for transmission. As a result, the peripheral control MPU 1511a to which the LOCKN signal is input is a door that transmits a connection confirmation signal indicating that transmission of a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d to the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 is started. By outputting the data to the frame-side effect transmitter IC 1512 d, it is possible to eliminate the communication failure between the image communication. In other words, the peripheral control MPU 1511a can detect a defect of the door frame side effect display device 460 due to a communication failure during image communication at an early stage, and can act on the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d to eliminate the defect. It is supposed to be. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's willingness to play by finding and eliminating a defect in the door frame side effect display device 460.

  Furthermore, the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0, which receives an image transmitted from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d and outputs the image to the door frame side effect display device 460, transmits the image transmitted from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d When it can not be received normally, the LOCKN signal, which is a communication failure occurrence signal that indicates that a communication failure has occurred between image communication between the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 and the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512 d The peripheral control MPU 1511a, to which the LOCKN signal is input, controls the built-in sound source VDP 1512a of the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 so that a communication failure occurs because it can be output to the peripheral control MPU 1511a of a certain peripheral control unit 1511. To convey that To generate a message “There is a problem with the liquid crystal display on the upper plate. Please call a clerk.” And display the generated image on the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 for notification. It can be done. In other words, the peripheral control MPU 1511a detects a defect of the door frame side effect display device 460 due to a communication defect between image communication at an early stage, and notifies the player sitting on the front of the pachinko machine 1 to that effect. Since the player can directly notify the store clerks in the hall or notify the store clerk in the hall that took the front of the pachinko machine 1 by chance, the store clerk in the hall suffers from the problem. It is possible to start work to solve the problem at an early stage. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's willingness to play by detecting and solving the defect of the door frame side effect display device 460 at an early stage.

  Furthermore, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 is provided with the transmitter IC 1512d for door frame side effect provided on the peripheral control board 1510 and the door frame provided on the effect display drive board 4450 in the period (interval period) of timing K1 to timing K2. If the connection between the side effect receiver ICSDIC0 and the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is broken even once, the connection between the transmitter and receiver fails When the cumulative number determined to be in the state of not being reached does not reach the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) for enabling the LOCKN signal to eliminate communication failure between image communication From the transmitter IC1512d for door frame side effect A connection confirmation signal that indicates that transmission starts to the frame-side effect receiver ICSDIC0 can be repeatedly output to the door frame-side effect transmitter IC 1512 d until the cumulative number reaches the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT. It has become. Thus, in the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 changes the first special symbol or the second special symbol game in the first special symbol display 1403 or the second special symbol display 1405 Since it is possible to continue outputting the connection confirmation signal repeatedly only during a period in which the game is not progressed by displaying the start and stop, it is possible to move in the direction in which the communication failure is resolved.

  The peripheral control MPU 1511 a of the peripheral control unit 1511 is provided with the transmitter IC 1512 d for door frame side effect provided on the peripheral control substrate 1510 and the door frame side provided on the effect display drive substrate 4450 in a period (interval period) of timing K1 to timing K2. If the connection between the effect receiver ICSDIC0 and the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, that is, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is broken even once, the connection between the transmitter and receiver fails When the cumulative number determined to be in the state of not being reached does not reach the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT, a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) for enabling the LOCKN signal to eliminate the communication failure during image communication is provided. Door from the transmitter IC1512d for door frame side effect The connection confirmation signal that indicates that transmission is to be started to the side effect receiver ICSDIC0 is repeatedly output to the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d until the cumulative number reaches the cumulative number upper limit value CC-LMT. When the main control MPU 1310a of the control board 1310 starts fluctuating the first special symbol or second special symbol game in the first special symbol display 1403 or the second special symbol display 1405 and confirms that the game progress is started again When the output of the signal is stopped, and the connection confirmation signal output from the peripheral control MPU 1511a is stopped and the connection confirmation signal is not input, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d opens the predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) into a door frame. Control of liquid crystal display by stopping transmission to receiver ICSDIC0 for side effect The image the sound source built VDP1512a to the generation of 1512 has been to be able to output to the door frame side for effect receiver ICSDIC0. Thus, in the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 changes the first special symbol or the second special symbol game in the first special symbol display 1403 or the second special symbol display 1405 By continuing to output the connection confirmation signal, which is a repeat failure resolution signal, only during the period when the game is not executed by displaying start and stop, it is possible to move in the direction of solving the communication failure. Therefore, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 starts fluctuating the first special symbol or the second special symbol game in the first special symbol display 1403 or the second special symbol display 1405 and displays stop. Only when the progress of the game is not being executed, while the output of the connection confirmation signal is being repeatedly output, the main control board 1 Even if the 10 main control MPUs 1310a start fluctuating the first special symbol or the second special symbol game in the first special symbol display 1403 or the second special symbol display 1405 and start the progress of the game again, the door frame The distortion (disturbance of the image) of the effect that progresses on the display screen of the side effect display device 460 is every time the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 starts to execute the progress of the game again and ends (a period from timing K1 to timing K2 (Every time it becomes an interval period), it can be made to go in the direction to eliminate.

The RAM clear function outputs the RWMCLR signal of FIG. 136 to the payout control MPU 952a, which is a payout control microprocessor, as a RAM clear signal for erasing information on the payout stored in the payout control built-in RAM. On the main control side power on process shown in When the operation is performed after the period in which the determination process of step S16 is performed (or the period in which the determination process of step S512 in the payout control unit power-on process of FIG. 149 is performed from power on) has elapsed, The error release function of outputting the RWMCLR signal of FIG. 136 as the error release signal for releasing the generated error to the payout control MPU 952a which is the payout control microprocessor without outputting it to the main control MPU 1310a which is the game control microprocessor It is also something to be prepared.

  As described above, when the operation switch 954 is operated within a period in which the determination process of step S16 in the main control side power on process of FIG. 146 is performed from the time of power on, the game stored in the main control internal RAM While outputting the RAM clear signal of FIG. 131 for deleting information related to the main control MPU 1310a which is a game control microprocessor, the determination process of step S512 in the payout control portion power on process of FIG.

  A magnetic detection sensor 4024 capable of detecting magnetism is provided in correspondence with a predetermined position in the game area in order to detect such illegal gaming activities and to control the illegal activity by the light emitting means or the alarm by voice. There is.

[Conventional magnetic sensor input circuit]
FIG. 175 is a circuit diagram showing an example of a conventional magnetic sensor input circuit provided in a game machine. The gaming machine has a main control board 1310 and a panel relay board 4161. As illustrated, the magnetic detection sensor 4024 is supplied with the voltage +5 V generated by the +5 V generation circuit 1310 g.

  The magnetic detection sensor 4024 is composed of a magnetic sensor MGS and a built-in transistor STR. The magnetic sensor MGS is formed of, for example, a magnetoresistance effect element, and outputs a predetermined voltage (for example, +5 V) when not detecting magnetism of a predetermined value or more, and outputs a voltage when detecting magnetism of a predetermined value or more It does not (0 V).

  The base terminal of the transistor STR is connected to the output terminal of the magnetic sensor MGS, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR is grounded. The collector terminal of the transistor STR is connected to one end of a pull-up resistor IR0 disposed on the panel relay substrate 4161 via a connector CON1, and +12 V is applied to the other end of the pull-up resistor IR0. Thus, when the transistor STR is in the OFF state, the collector terminal of the transistor STR is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor IR0 (corresponding to the first voltage).

  When the magnetic sensor MGS is not detecting magnetism, the transistor STR is turned on by the voltage output from the magnetic sensor MGS, and a current flows from the collector terminal to the ground via the emitter terminal. In addition, when the magnetic sensor MGS detects magnetism, the transistor STR is turned off by stopping the output from the magnetic sensor MGS, and the flow of current from the collector terminal to the emitter terminal is stopped.

  The collector terminal of the transistor STR is connected to one end of the resistor IR1 in addition to being connected to the pull-up resistor IR0, and the other end of the resistor IR1 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0. The emitter terminal of the transistor ITR0 is grounded, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0 is connected to one end of the pull-up resistor IR2, and +12 V is applied to the other end of the pull-up resistor IR2. Thus, when the transistor ITR0 is in the OFF state, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0 is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor IR2.

  The collector terminal of the transistor ITR0 is connected not only to the pull-up resistor IR2 but also to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 in the subsequent stage. The emitter terminal of the transistor ITR1 is grounded, and the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 is connected to the main control input circuit 1310b of the main control board 1310 via the connector CON2.

  Main control input circuit 1310 b includes pull-up resistor NR 1, resistor NR 2, and transistor NTR 1, and one end of pull-up resistor NR 1 is connected to the collector terminal of transistor ITR 1 in the front stage of panel relay board 4161 via connector CON 2. The +12 V is applied to the other end of the pull-up resistor NR1. Thus, when the transistor ITR in the previous stage is in the OFF state, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor NR1.

  The collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 is connected to one end of the resistor NR2 in addition to being connected to the pull-up resistor NR1, and the other end of the resistor NR2 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor NTR1. The emitter terminal of the transistor NTR1 is grounded, and the collector terminal of the transistor NTR1 is electrically connected to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a.

  In the figure, the detection sensor unit corresponds to the magnetic detection sensor 4024, the voltage output unit 4163 corresponds to the pull-up resistor IR0 connected to the magnetic detection sensor 4024 and to which +12 V is applied. The detection circuit unit 4164 is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 and includes a pull-up resistor IR2 to which +12 V is applied, and a transistor ITR1 whose base terminal is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0. Is the case.

  Further, in the front stage of the detection circuit unit 4164, a sensor signal input unit 4162 is configured by a circuit including the connector CON1, the voltage output unit 4163, the resistor IR1 and the transistor ITR0. Thus, the sensor signal input unit 4162 and the detection circuit unit 4164 are provided on the panel relay substrate 4161.

[Detection action]
When the magnetic sensor MGS of the magnetic detection sensor 402 does not detect magnetism, the voltage output from the magnetic sensor MGS is applied to the base terminal of the built-in transistor STR, thereby turning on the built-in transistor STR. When the transistor STR turns on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR0, the connector CON1, the collector terminal of the transistor STR, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR. Also, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor STR is pulled down to the ground side (corresponding to the second voltage). Further, since the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor STR, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 is also pulled down to the ground side. Thereby, the transistor ITR0 is turned off.

  When the transistor ITR0 is turned off, the voltage pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor IR2 is applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 to turn on the transistor ITR1. When the transistor ITR1 is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor NR1, the connector CON2, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1, and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR1.

  Further, when the transistor ITR1 is turned on, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor NTR1 connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 is pulled down to the ground side, and the transistor NTR1 is turned off. A magnetic detection switch signal in which the logic of the collector terminal in which the transistor NTR1 is off is LOW (off) is input to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a.

  When the magnetic sensor MGS is in a detection state in which magnetism is detected, the output of the voltage from the magnetic sensor MGS is stopped, and the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor STR disappears to turn off the built-in transistor STR. When the transistor STR is turned off, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR is pulled up to +12 V. Further, since the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor STR, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 is also pulled up to +12 V (corresponding to the first voltage). Thereby, the transistor ITR0 is turned on.

  When the transistor ITR0 is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR2, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0, and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR0. Further, when the transistor ITR0 is turned on, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0 is pulled down to the ground side, and the transistor ITR1 is turned off.

  When the transistor ITR1 is turned off, the voltage pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor NR2 of the main control input circuit 1310b is applied to the base terminal of the transistor NTR1 to turn on the transistor NTR1. When the transistor NTR1 is turned on, the magnetic detection switch signal whose logic is HI (on) connected to the collector terminal of the transistor NTR1 is input to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a.

  The operating states of the magnetic sensor MGS, the built-in transistor STR, the transistor ITR0, the transistor ITR1 and the transistor NTR1 described above are shown in the form of a table in FIG. Even when the magnetic detection sensor 4024 is disconnected from the panel relay substrate 4161, the transistor ITR0 is turned on, the transistor ITR1 is turned off, and the transistor NTR1 is turned on, as in the operation when the magnetic sensor MGS detects magnetism. .

  By the way, when signal transmission is performed by the connector member, if the connector member is corroded or dust gets into the connector connection portion, contact resistance is generated. There are pin contact types and bellows contacts in the connector member depending on the shape of the contact part terminal of the connector member, but in the case of the bellows contact type, when the harness attached to the connector member is pulled during connection work, the pin contacts The gap is easier to open than the type. When the gap is open, dust and the like can easily enter from this portion.

  Also, when a vibration is applied to the connector member, a contact resistance is similarly generated. For example, when the player is playing a right-handed game, when slight sliding wear occurs due to the vibration from a specific part of the gaming area where many gaming balls are continuously concentrated and flowing down being applied to the connector member. Also, this may cause contact resistance.

  Here, the conventional magnetic sensor input circuit when such contact resistance RR occurs in the connector member (connector CON1) electrically connecting the magnetic detection sensor 4024 and the voltage output unit 4163 of the panel relay substrate 4161 The operation of will be described. For example, in FIG. 175, when the contact resistance RR occurs in the connector member, the contact resistance RR is indicated by a dashed line. The magnitude of the contact resistance RR is 100 times to 1000 times that in the case where the contact of the connector is normal.

  As described above, when the magnetic sensor MGS of the magnetic detection sensor 402 does not detect magnetism, the built-in transistor STR is turned on. When the built-in transistor STR is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR0, the contact resistor RR (connector CON1), the collector terminal of the transistor STR, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR. As a result, although the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR is lowered to the ground side (corresponding to the second voltage), the current flows through the contact resistance RR, whereby the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistance RR Will lift. In FIG. 175, a connection point between the pull-up resistor IR0 and the resistor IR1 is illustrated as a black circle as a point at which the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistance RR rises.

  That is, when a current flows in the contact resistance RR generated due to the contact state of the connector portion, a voltage higher than the second voltage and lower than the first voltage is applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 . When the voltage raised by the contact resistance RR reaches a specified voltage between the base terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR0, the transistor ITR0 is turned on. Therefore, although the magnetic detection sensor 4024 is in the non-detection state, the transistor ITR0 may be turned on. That is, in the conventional sensor signal input unit 4162 disposed on the panel relay substrate 4161, if the contact resistance RR occurs, there is a possibility that the sensor signal may be erroneously detected.

[Example 1 of Magnetic Sensor Input Circuit]
FIG. 176 is a circuit diagram showing an example (Example 1) of a magnetic sensor input circuit provided in the gaming machine of the embodiment. The magnetic sensor input circuit according to the first embodiment of the present embodiment includes the magnetic detection sensor 4024, the connector CON1, the voltage output unit 4163 of the panel relay board 4161, the detection circuit unit 4164, and the main control board of the conventional magnetic sensor input circuit of FIG. The main control input circuit 1310 b of 1310 has the same circuit configuration. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used for the same circuit component.

  Note that the magnetic detection sensor 4024 should be installed at a plurality of locations in the game area, for example, in the vicinity of the first start opening 2002, the second start opening 2004, the general winning opening 2001, the big winning opening 2005, the out opening 1126, etc. become.

  The magnetic sensor input circuit of this embodiment differs from the conventional magnetic sensor input circuit in that it is between the voltage output unit 4163 and the detection circuit unit 4164 when the magnetic detection sensor 4024 does not detect magnetism in the non-detection state. Even when a predetermined voltage higher than the voltage (second voltage) at which the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR is pulled down to the ground side is applied, the action by the predetermined voltage on the detection circuit unit 4164 is performed. The voltage raising unit 4166 is provided to avoid the problem, and the voltage output unit 4163 and the detection circuit unit 4164 are electrically connected via the voltage raising unit 4166.

  In the first embodiment, the voltage raising unit 4166 is an example configured of a Zener diode ZD0 whose Zener voltage is higher than the predetermined voltage. Specifically, the cathode terminal of the Zener diode ZD0 is connected to one end of the pull-up resistor IR0 of the voltage output unit 4163, and the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR of the magnetic detection sensor 4024 It is connected.

  The anode terminal of the Zener diode ZD0 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 disposed in the subsequent stage. Further, +12 V is applied to the other end of the pull-up resistor IR0. The emitter terminal of the transistor ITR0 is grounded, and the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0 is connected to one end of a pull-up resistor IR2 having +12 V applied to the other end in the detection circuit unit 4164 Connected to the base terminal. The emitter terminal of the transistor ITR1 is grounded, and the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 is connected to the main control input circuit 1310b of the main control board 1310 via the connector CON2. A sensor signal input unit 4162 is configured by the connector CON1, the voltage output unit 4163, and the voltage raising unit 4166.

[Detection operation when connector contact is normal]
When the magnetic sensor MGS of the magnetic detection sensor 402 does not detect magnetism, the voltage output from the magnetic sensor MGS is applied to the base terminal of the built-in transistor STR, thereby turning on the built-in transistor STR. When the transistor STR turns on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR0, the connector CON1, the collector terminal of the transistor STR, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR.

  Thereby, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor STR is pulled down to the ground side (corresponding to the second voltage). Further, since the collector terminal of the transistor STR is connected to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 via the Zener diode ZD0, the Zener diode ZD0 maintains the non-conductive state because the Zener voltage is higher than the second voltage. Therefore, no voltage is applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 (0 V). Thereby, the transistor ITR0 is turned off.

  When the transistor ITR0 is turned off, the voltage pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor IR2 is applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 of the detection circuit unit 4164, and the transistor ITR1 is turned on. When the transistor ITR1 is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor NR1, the connector CON2, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1, and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR1.

  Further, when the transistor ITR1 is turned on, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor NTR1 of the main control input circuit 1310b connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 is pulled down to the ground side, and the transistor NTR1 is turned off. A magnetic detection switch signal in which the logic of the collector terminal in which the transistor NTR1 is off is LOW (off) is input to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a.

  When the magnetic sensor MGS is in the detection state in which the magnetism is detected, the output of the voltage from the magnetic sensor MGS is stopped, and the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor STR disappears to turn off the built-in transistor STR. When the transistor STR is turned off, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR is pulled up to +12 V. Further, the collector terminal of the transistor STR is connected to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 through the Zener diode ZD0, whereby a Zener voltage is applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 (corresponding to the first voltage). Thereby, the transistor ITR0 is turned on.

  When the transistor ITR0 is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR2, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0, and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR0. Further, when the transistor ITR0 is turned on, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 of the detection circuit unit 4164 connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0 is pulled down to the ground side, and the transistor ITR1 is turned off.

  When the transistor ITR1 is turned off, the voltage pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor NR1 of the main control input circuit 1310b is applied to the base terminal of the transistor NTR1, thereby turning on the transistor NTR1. When the transistor NTR1 is turned on, the magnetic detection switch signal whose logic is HI (on) connected to the collector terminal of the transistor NTR1 is input to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a.

  Then, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that such an abnormal state is present, in the above example, when the logic of the magnetic detection switch signal determines that the logic is HI, the main control unit MPU 1310a performs a peripheral operation. An error command is sent to the control unit 1511, and processing such as outputting a signal to that effect from the external terminal plate 784 to the hall computer is performed. In response to the error command, the peripheral control unit 1511 reports an abnormality with the game board side effect display device 1600, the door frame side effect display device 460, the alarm lamp, the sound, or the like.

[Detection operation when connector contact is abnormal]
When the magnetic sensor MGS of the magnetic detection sensor 402 does not detect magnetism, the voltage output from the magnetic sensor MGS is applied to the base terminal of the built-in transistor STR, thereby turning on the built-in transistor STR.

  When the built-in transistor STR is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR0, the contact resistor RR (connector CON1), the collector terminal of the transistor STR, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR. As a result, although the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR is lowered to the ground side (corresponding to the second voltage), the current flows through the contact resistance RR, whereby the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistance RR Lift up. In FIG. 176, a connection point between the pull-up resistor IR0 and the Zener diode ZD0 is illustrated as a black circle as a point where the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistance RR rises.

  That is, a predetermined voltage higher than the second voltage and lower than the first voltage is applied to the cathode terminal of the Zener diode ZD0 by the current flowing through the contact resistance generated due to the contact state of the connector portion. become. Even if a predetermined voltage higher than the second voltage is applied, the Zener diode ZD0 remains nonconductive because the Zener voltage is higher than the predetermined voltage. Therefore, no voltage is applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 (0 V). Thereby, the transistor ITR0 is turned off. That is, the voltage raising unit 4166 prevents the action of the predetermined voltage on the detection circuit unit 4164.

  The operation of the detection circuit unit 4164 and the main control input circuit 1310b in the latter stage is the same as the detection operation when the contact of the connector is normal.

  As a result, the voltage of detection circuit portion 4164 is not affected (because there is no change in voltage), and when contact resistance is generated due to slight sliding wear of the connector member, etc. False detection can be prevented.

  As in the conventional case, when an abnormality is detected by the magnetic sensor MGS, the main control MPU 1310a transmits an error command to the peripheral control unit 1511, and the peripheral control unit 1511 transmits a magnet according to the transmitted error command. The game board side effect display device 1600, the door frame side effect display device 460, a warning indicator, a sound, etc. notify that an illegal game action using a character is performed or that a break occurs in the magnetic detection sensor 4024 Do. Also, an error signal is output from the external terminal plate 784 to the hall computer.

The input circuit 1310 b has the same circuit configuration. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used for the same circuit component.

  In the second embodiment, the voltage raising unit 4166 has one end connected to the first resistor IR1 whose one end is connected to the voltage output unit 4163 and the other end of the first resistor IR1 and the other end grounded. And a second resistor IR3. Comparing the sensor signal input unit 4162 of the second embodiment with the conventional sensor signal input unit 4162 of FIG. 175, one end of the resistor IR3 whose other end is grounded is disposed at the subsequent stage to the other end of the resistor IR1. It differs in that it is connected to the connection point with the base terminal of the transistor ITR0. That is, in the second embodiment, the voltage raising unit 4166 is an example configured by the resistor IR3 which causes a current to flow to the ground to drop when the predetermined voltage is applied.

  Note that one end of the first resistor IR1 is connected to one end of the pull-up resistor IR0 of the voltage output unit 4163, and connected to the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR of the magnetic detection sensor 4024 via the connector CON1 in the previous stage of the connection portion. ing.

  The collector terminal of the transistor ITR0 is connected to one end of the pull-up resistor IR1 having +12 V applied to the other end in the detection circuit unit 4164 and to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1. The emitter terminal of the transistor ITR1 is grounded, and the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 is connected to the main control input circuit 1310b of the main control board 1310 via the connector CON2. A sensor signal input unit 4162 is configured by the connector CON1, the voltage output unit 4163, and the voltage raising unit 4166.

[Detection operation when connector contact is normal]
When the magnetic sensor MGS of the magnetic detection sensor 402 does not detect magnetism, the voltage output from the magnetic sensor MGS is applied to the base terminal of the built-in transistor STR, thereby turning on the built-in transistor STR. When the transistor STR turns on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR0, the connector CON1, the collector terminal of the transistor STR, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR.

  Thereby, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor STR is pulled down to the ground side (corresponding to the second voltage). Further, the collector terminal of the transistor STR is connected to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0, so that the voltage pulled down to the ground side is applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0. Thereby, the transistor ITR0 is turned off.

  When the transistor ITR0 is turned off, the voltage pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor IR2 is applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 to turn on the transistor ITR1. When the transistor ITR1 is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor NR1, the connector CON2, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1, and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR1.

  Further, when the transistor ITR1 is turned on, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor NTR1 of the main control input circuit 1310b connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 is pulled down to the ground side, and the transistor NTR1 is turned off. A magnetic detection switch signal in which the logic of the collector terminal in which the transistor NTR1 is off is LOW (off) is input to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a.

  When the magnetism detection sensor 4024 detects magnetism, the output of the voltage from the magnetism sensor MGS is stopped, and the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor STR disappears to turn off the built-in transistor STR. When the transistor STR is turned off, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR is pulled up to +12 V.

  In addition, a voltage of +12 V is applied to a series resistance circuit composed of the pull-up resistor IR0, the first resistor IR1 and the second resistor IR3 of the voltage raising unit 4166, and the pull-up resistor IR0 and the voltage raising unit 4166 A current flows to the ground via the first resistor IR1 and the second resistor IR3. When a current flows in the second resistor IR3, a potential difference generated between both ends of the second resistor IR3 is applied between the base terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR0, and the transistor ITR0 is turned on.

  When the transistor ITR0 is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR2, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0, and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR0. Further, when the transistor ITR0 is turned on, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 of the detection circuit unit 4164 connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0 is pulled down to the ground side, and the transistor ITR1 is turned off.

  When the transistor ITR1 is turned off, the voltage pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor NR1 of the main control input circuit 1310b is applied to the base terminal of the transistor NTR1, thereby turning on the transistor NTR1. When the transistor NTR1 is turned on, the magnetic detection switch signal whose logic is HI (on) connected to the collector terminal of the transistor NTR1 is input to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a.

[Detection operation when connector contact is abnormal]
When the magnetic sensor MGS of the magnetic detection sensor 402 does not detect magnetism, the voltage output from the magnetic sensor MGS is applied to the base terminal of the built-in transistor STR, thereby turning on the built-in transistor STR.

  When the built-in transistor STR turns on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR0, the contact resistor (connector CON1), the collector terminal of the transistor STR, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR. As a result, although the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR is lowered to the ground side (corresponding to the second voltage), the current flows through the contact resistance RR, whereby the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistance RR Lift up. In FIG. 177, a connection point between the pull-up resistor IR0 and the first resistor IR1 is illustrated as a black circle as a point where the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistor RR rises.

  That is, when a current flows in the contact resistance RR generated due to the contact state of the connector portion, a predetermined voltage higher than the second voltage and lower than the first voltage is applied to one end of the first resistor It will be. This voltage is sufficiently lower than the voltage applied when the built-in transistor of the magnetic detection sensor 4024 is turned off.

  When a predetermined voltage higher than the second voltage is applied to one end of the first resistor, a current flows in the first resistor IR1, and the current also flows to the ground through the second resistor IR3. That is, since the other end of the second resistor IR3 is grounded, the current due to the predetermined voltage higher than the applied second voltage and lower than the first voltage substantially falls to the ground, and the second resistor Almost no current flows into the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 subsequent to IR3. Therefore, the transistor ITR0 in the subsequent stage is not turned on. As a result, the transistor ITR0 in the subsequent stage maintains the off state. That is, the voltage raising unit 4166 prevents the action of the predetermined voltage on the detection circuit unit 4164.

  The operation of the detection circuit unit 4164 and the main control input circuit 1310b in the latter stage is the same as the detection operation when the contact of the connector is normal.

  As a result, the voltage of detection circuit portion 4164 is not affected (because there is no change in voltage), and when contact resistance is generated due to slight sliding wear of the connector member, etc. False detection can be prevented.

The collector terminals of the two transistors ITR0 and ITR2 are connected to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 as well as being one end of a pull-up resistor IR2 whose +12 V of the detection circuit unit 4164 is applied to the other end.

[Detection operation when connector contact is normal]
When the magnetic sensor MGS of the magnetic detection sensor 402 does not detect magnetism, the voltage output from the magnetic sensor MGS is applied to the base terminal of the built-in transistor STR, thereby turning on the built-in transistor STR. When the transistor STR turns on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR0, the connector CON1, the collector terminal of the transistor STR, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR. Also, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor STR is pulled down to the ground side (corresponding to the second voltage). Since the base terminal of the transistor is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor STR, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 is also pulled down to the ground side. Thereby, the transistor ITR0 is turned off, and the transistor ITR2 is also turned off.

  When the transistor ITR0 is turned off, the voltage pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor IR2 is applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 of the detection circuit unit 4164, and the transistor ITR1 is turned on. When the transistor ITR1 is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor NR1, the connector CON2, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1, and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR1.

  Further, when the transistor ITR1 is turned on, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor NTR1 of the main control input circuit 1310b connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR1 is pulled down to the ground side, and the transistor NTR1 is turned off. A magnetic detection switch signal in which the logic of the collector terminal in which the transistor NTR1 is off is LOW (off) is input to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a.

  When the magnetism detection sensor 4024 detects magnetism, the output of the voltage from the magnetism sensor MGS is stopped, and the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor STR disappears to turn off the built-in transistor STR. When the transistor STR is turned off, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR is pulled up to +12 V.

  In addition, a voltage of +12 V is applied to a series resistor circuit composed of a resistor IR1 of the pull-up resistor IR0, a voltage raising unit 4166, a resistor IR4, and a resistor IR5, A current flows to the ground via the resistors IR4 and IR5. When a current flows in the resistor IR4, a potential difference generated between both ends of the resistor IR4 is applied between the base terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR0 in the previous stage. As a result, the transistor ITR0 in the previous stage is turned on.

  When the transistor ITR0 in the previous stage is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR2, the collector terminal of the transistor ITR0, the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR0, and the resistor IR5. When a current flows through the resistor IR5, a potential difference generated between both ends of the resistor IR5 is applied between the base terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR2 in the subsequent stage. Thereby, the transistor ITR2 in the rear stage is turned on.

  When the rear stage transistor ITR2 is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR2, the collector terminal of the rear stage transistor ITR2, and the emitter terminal of the transistor ITR2. Further, as the transistor ITR2 is turned on, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 of the detection circuit unit 4164 connected to the collector terminal of the transistor ITR2 in the subsequent stage is pulled down to the ground side, and the transistor ITR1 is turned off.

  When the transistor ITR1 is turned off, the voltage pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor NR1 of the main control input circuit 1310b is applied to the base terminal of the transistor NTR1, thereby turning on the transistor NTR1. When the transistor NTR1 is turned on, the magnetic detection switch signal whose logic is HI (on) connected to the collector terminal of the transistor NTR1 is input to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a.

[Detection operation when connector contact is abnormal]
When the magnetic sensor MGS of the magnetic detection sensor 402 does not detect magnetism, the voltage output from the magnetic sensor MGS is applied to the base terminal of the built-in transistor STR, thereby turning on the built-in transistor STR.

  When the built-in transistor STR is turned on, a current flows to the ground via the pull-up resistor IR0, the contact resistor RR (connector CON1), the collector terminal of the transistor STR, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR. As a result, although the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the built-in transistor STR is lowered to the ground side (corresponding to the second voltage), the current flows through the contact resistance RR, whereby the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistance RR Lift up. In FIG. 178, a connection point between the pull-up resistor IR0 and the resistor IR1 is illustrated as a black circle as a point at which the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistance RR rises.

  That is, when a current flows in the contact resistance generated due to the contact state of the connector portion, a predetermined voltage higher than the second voltage and lower than the first voltage is applied to one end of the resistor IR1 . This voltage is sufficiently lower than the voltage applied when the built-in transistor of the magnetic detection sensor 4024 is turned off.

  When a predetermined voltage higher than the second voltage and lower than the first voltage is applied to one end of the resistor IR1, a current flows through the resistor IR1, and the current also flows to the ground through the resistor IR4 and the resistor IR5. That is, since the other end of the resistor IR5 is grounded, most of the current due to the applied predetermined voltage falls to the ground, and almost no current flows in the base terminal of the transistor ITR0 in the previous stage of the Darlington circuit in the subsequent stage of the resistor IR1. It does not flow in. Therefore, the transistor ITR0 in the previous stage is not turned on. Further, the transistor ITR2 in the subsequent stage is also not turned on. As a result, the two transistors ITR0 and ITR2 of the Darlington circuit maintain the off state. That is, the voltage raising unit 4166 avoids the action of the predetermined voltage on the detection circuit unit 4164.

  The operation of the detection circuit unit 4164 and the main control input circuit 1310b in the latter stage is the same as the detection operation when the contact of the connector is normal.

  As a result, the voltage of detection circuit portion 4164 is not affected (because there is no change in voltage), and when contact resistance is generated due to slight sliding wear of the connector member, etc. False detection can be prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 180, a plurality of open collector type sensor signal input portions 4162 respectively connected to the plurality of magnetic detection sensors 4024 are connected in parallel to the base terminal of the transistor ITR1 of the detection circuit portion 4164. ing. When any one of the sensor signal input units 4162 detects magnetism and is turned on, the transistor ITR1 of the detection circuit unit 4164 is turned off.

  When any one of the magnetic wire connection between the magnetic detection sensor 4024 and the sensor signal input unit 4162 is broken, the sensor signal input unit 4162 corresponding to the broken magnetic detection sensor 4024 is turned on in the same manner as the detection circuit unit 4164.

[17-1-1. Variation pattern]

  Next, the effects in the present embodiment will be described. The variation pattern table is executed by the peripheral control substrate 1510 based on various commands transmitted from the main control substrate 1310 in synchronization with the variation (falling result, variation time, etc.) of the special symbol on the main control substrate 1310. It is a table which manages the pattern (reproduction symbol fluctuation pattern) of a tuning effect. The special figure tuning effect corresponds to the change of the special symbol according to the special figure 1 tuning effect start command or the special figure 2 tuning effect start command (based on the symbol tuning effect start command), the peripheral control board 1510 is on the game board side The effects such as displaying the effect pattern on the effect display device 1600 and displaying the character are included. In addition, effects such as operating the movable role during variable display of the effect design, emitting light such as a lamp, or outputting sound from various speakers may be included. The effects corresponding to the fluctuation pattern of the present embodiment include pseudo continuous effects and the like described later. Also, variation patterns may be defined across multiple variation display games. Various effects are selected from the fluctuation pattern table according to the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol drawn by the reception of the game ball to the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004.

  The variation pattern selection means transmits a starting opening prize command by receiving the game ball to the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004, and the variation pattern of the special symbol to be drawn, the first starting opening 2002 and the second Select the length of the special fluctuation time etc. suggested to the player over the predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds) the special lottery result drawn on the occasion that the game ball is accepted in the starting opening 2004 For example, one of a plurality of types of variation patterns is selected by lottery based on random numbers of variation patterns and a predetermined distribution table, for example. The variation pattern of the special symbol is to be referred to as a basis when the peripheral control board 1510 selects various kinds of effect contents developed by the game board side effect display device 1600 or the like. In this embodiment, based on the variation pattern of the selected special symbol, a rendering symbol (three-digit rendering symbol displayed on the gaming panel-side effect display device 1600) to be executed by the game panel-side effect display device 1600 is used. At least a part of the presentation content is determined by the peripheral control board 1510. The effect pattern of the present embodiment is displayed over the variation time of the special symbol, and in the period in which the effect using the effect pattern is performed, the first half portion is set as the notice effect section, and is set after the notice effect section. The second half is the reach production section. In the notice effect section, the display of the effect pattern is performed in various modes, and the effect pattern (display pattern) is roughly classified into two types of a pseudo continuous effect pattern and a normal effect pattern other than that. The pseudo continuous effect pattern is an execution pattern of pseudo continuous effect in which temporary stop and re-variation of the effect pattern are performed a plurality of times (for example, 3 times) during the variable display of one special symbol. In addition, the normal effect pattern is a pattern in which temporary stop and re-variation of the effect pattern are not performed until reach effect is achieved during one time of the change display of the special symbol. Even when any of the pseudo continuous effect pattern and the normal effect pattern is performed, the final stop timing of the effect pattern matches the timing at which the special symbol stops.

Next, pseudo continuous effect in the present embodiment will be described. The pseudo continuous effect, as described above, is a type of effect contents using the effect pattern performed in the advance effect section, and is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 during one change of the special symbol. It is an effect that temporary stop and re-variation of the effect pattern of all the girders occur one or more times. The pseudo-continuous effect in the present embodiment is set to have a long time and a high expectation for the jackpot as the number of times of temporary stop and re-variation of the effect pattern (the number of pseudo-continuous times) increases.
Further, in the present embodiment, of the periods in which the pseudo continuous rendition is executed, the period until the temporary stop and re-variation of the first representation pattern occur is the "first pseudo period", and the first pseudo period is ended. The second pseudo period is the period until the temporary stop and re-variation of the second production pattern occur, and the temporary stop and re-variation of the third production pattern occur after the second pseudo period ends. The period until the third pseudo period, the third pseudo period ends, and the period until the reach effect is performed is referred to as the fourth pseudo period.
If the number of temporary stop and re-variation of the effect pattern is one, the execution period of the pseudo continuous effect is "the first pseudo period + period until reach effect execution", and the number of temporary stop and re-change of the effect pattern is If it is two times, the execution period of the pseudo continuous effect is "the first pseudo period + the second pseudo period + the period until the reach effect execution", and if the number of temporary stop and re-variation of the production design is three times, The execution period of the pseudo continuous effect is “the first pseudo period + the second pseudo period + the third pseudo period + the period until the reach effect execution”.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 181, as the execution pattern of the pseudo continuous effect to be performed until reaching the reach effect section, the number of re-variation times of the effect pattern etc. are different types (23 types in this embodiment) The pseudo continuous effect patterns “pseudo B1” to “pseudo B23” are provided, and the other is a variation pattern “normal A1”.

  In addition, the pseudo continuous effect of this embodiment is the final stop symbol among the three digit effect symbols when all the effect symbols of all three digits displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 are temporarily stopped and re-fluctuated. In the display area where is displayed, “pseudo-series symbols (simulation series symbols suggesting the generation and continuation of the pseudo-continuous rendering)” are suggested to indicate that all of the three-digit rendering symbols change again. For example, when the pseudo continuous effect is generated or continued, among the three effect symbols that are stopped (temporarily stopped) in the order of left, right, and middle, "left effect symbol (referred to as" left symbol "in this embodiment) ) And “right production symbol (referred to as“ right symbol ”in this example)” are not identical symbols, that is, stop in a mode that does not form a reach, and then “the middle stop symbol” When the rendering symbol (referred to as "middle symbol" in this embodiment) "is stopped, it is superimposed on the middle symbol to stop and display the pseudo run symbol. When this pseudo linked symbol is stopped and displayed, re-variation of the rendering symbol is executed with a probability of 100% (an example of a predetermined probability). In the case where the pseudo linked symbol is not displayed in a stopped state by being superimposed on the middle symbol, the re-variation of the effect symbol is not executed. Temporarily, since a re-variation of a production | presentation pattern is performed at least once when a pseudo | simulation continuous production is performed, in the pseudo | simulation continuous production pattern of a present Example, a pseudo | simulation continuous symbol always stop-displays in a 1st pseudo | simulation period Period is included. In addition, you may provide separately the case where re-variation of a production | presentation symbol is performed, without a pseudo | simulation string being stopped-displayed.

The pseudo continuous effect pattern which is one of various effects is controlled by the main control MPU 1310a built in the main control board 1310 based on the fact that the game ball hit into the game area by the player has entered the start opening. It is set by the variation pattern to be selected.
The contents of the fluctuation pattern set based on various commands transmitted from the main control board 1310 will be described with reference to FIGS. 182 (A) and 182 (B). FIG. 182 (A) is a deviation fluctuation pattern table showing one example of fluctuation pattern at the time of deviation. FIG. 182 (B) is a big hit variation pattern table showing an example of a variation pattern at the time of big hit. The pachinko machine 1 is configured to be able to set a fluctuation pattern corresponding to various gaming states (such as a time saving state), in addition to the fluctuation patterns shown in FIGS. 182 (A) and 182 (B).

  If the result of the lottery is a loss, the variation pattern is based on the loss variation pattern table of FIG. 182 (A), and the reach no variation, normal reach variation, multiple SP1 reach variations having different variation times, and different variation times are different. It is set to one variation pattern out of a plurality of SP2 reach variations and a plurality of SP3 reach variations having different variation times.

  In the out-of-out fluctuation pattern table, the probability of selection is set lower in the order of no reach fluctuation, normal reach fluctuation, SP1 reach fluctuation, SP2 reach fluctuation, and SP3 reach fluctuation, and the fluctuation time is set to be longer. In addition, the fluctuation patterns of the SP1 reach fluctuation, the SP2 reach fluctuation, and the SP3 reach fluctuation are set such that the fluctuation time becomes longer as the number of times of pseudo continuous increases.

  On the other hand, when the result of the lottery is a big hit, various commands classified as a big hit relation are transmitted from the main control board, and the fluctuation pattern is a normal reach fluctuation based on the jackpot fluctuation pattern table of FIG. Among the plurality of SP1 reach fluctuations having different fluctuation times, the plurality of SP2 reach fluctuations having different fluctuation times, and the plurality of SP3 reach fluctuations having different fluctuation times, one fluctuation pattern is set.

  In the jackpot fluctuation pattern table, the selection rate is set to increase in the order of normal reach fluctuation, SP1 reach fluctuation, SP2 reach fluctuation, and SP3 reach fluctuation. In addition, since the premium reach fluctuation is a so-called "superheat", which has a very high expectation of becoming a big hit, the selection rate of the premium reach fluctuation is set to be the lowest. In addition, fluctuation time is set to be longer in the order of normal reach fluctuation, SP1 reach fluctuation, SP2 reach fluctuation, SP3 reach fluctuation, and premium reach fluctuation.

  In addition, although the peripheral control board 1510 executes pseudo continuous presentation within the time allocated for performing pseudo continuous presentation in the set fluctuation pattern (the above-mentioned advance presentation effect section), pseudo within the time Instead of the continuous effects, another effect (movie advance notice, etc.) may be executed.

  In the fluctuation patterns 4, 8, 17 and 21 in the above-mentioned out-of-out fluctuation pattern table and the big hit fluctuation pattern table, the re-variation number of the production design in the pseudo-continuous effect is one time (total fluctuation The number of times is set to 2), and with fluctuation patterns 5, 9, 12, 18, 22 and 25, the number of re-changes of the rendering pattern in the pseudo-continuous effect is 2 times (the total change combining the initial change and the re-change) The number of times is set to 3), and in the fluctuation patterns 6, 10, 13, 14, 19, 23, 26, 27, the number of re-changes of the rendering pattern in the pseudo continuous effect is 3 times (initial change and re-change The combined total number of changes is set to 4).

  In the fluctuation pattern in which it is not decided to execute the pseudo continuous effect, the production symbol stops without stopping temporarily (full stop) from the start of variation until the special symbol stops, but this stop immediately after the temporary stop You may do it. In such a case, it can be regarded as a variation pattern in which the number of re-variations of the rendering pattern in the pseudo-series effect is zero (the total number of variations combining the initial variation and the re-variation is one).

  In the pachinko machine 1, the peripheral control board 1510 may determine whether or not the pseudo continuous rendering is performed, the pseudo continuous number, and the reach type by drawing for the rendering, etc., according to the variation pattern. According to the presence or absence of execution of pseudo continuous effect, pseudo continuous number of times, reach type in advance, the peripheral control board 1510 performs the presence or absence of pseudo continuous effect, pseudo continuous number of times, reach type It may be specified.

  In addition to suggesting the degree of expectation for the jackpot by the pseudo continuous number of times in the pseudo continuous effect, the player may be suggested in the effect mode in the pseudo continuous effect. By carrying out the pseudo continuous rendition of the present embodiment described below, it has been conventionally suggested that the expectation for the big hit is suggested depending on how many times the fluctuation of the production design by the pseudo continuous rendition has been repeated. Since it is possible to direct the interest to the presentation content itself of the presentation, the range of enjoyment of the pseudo continuous presentation is broadened, and it is possible to improve the interest.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to indicating the height of the expectation for the jackpot by the number of pseudo-continuous times in the pseudo-continuous production, the display of the above-mentioned "pse It shall be shown also by the aspect. As the pseudo run symbol of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 183 to FIG. 185, there are a plurality of types of pseudo run symbols consisting of different character images (aside from the type of the 3-digit production symbol (rendering symbol indicating numbers)) Three types are provided in this embodiment.

  The pseudo run symbol is a symbol displayed superimposed on the middle symbol at the time of temporary stop of the middle symbol in the pseudo continuous effect. In this embodiment, among the three effect symbols that are stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, an example is described in which the pseudo connected symbol is superimposed on the effect symbol in the middle and displayed, but it is not limited to this. The pseudo run symbol may be superimposed on the right production symbol.

The pseudo run symbol shown in FIG. 183 is a pseudo run symbol (hereinafter referred to as “pseudo run symbol 1”) that imitates a fighter. The pseudo run symbol shown in FIG. 184 is a pseudo run symbol that simulates a tank (hereinafter referred to as “pseudo run symbol 2”). The pseudo run symbol shown in FIG. 185 is a pseudo run symbol (hereinafter, referred to as “pseudo run symbol 3”) that imitates a warship.
The expectation for the jackpot is higher in the order of the pseudo run symbol 1, the pseudo run symbol 2, and the pseudo run symbol 3, and in a series of pseudo continuous rendering, the type of pseudo run symbol displayed just before the re-variation of the production symbol Depending on the degree of expectation.

For example, when executing a pseudo continuous effect in which the rendering symbol re-fluctuates three times, for example, the pseudo run symbol 1 is displayed in the first pseudo period, and then the pseudo run symbol 1 is displayed in the second pseudo period, and then When a pseudo-continuous effect is executed with a pseudo continuous effect pattern in which the pseudo run symbol 2 is displayed in the third pseudo period and the production symbol is stopped after the pseudo run symbol is not displayed thereafter, the special symbol stops The pseudo run symbol displayed immediately before the game is the pseudo run symbol 2.
On the other hand, in the case of executing the pseudo-continuous effect which is again changed three times, that is, the pseudo run symbol 1 is displayed in the first pseudo period, then the pseudo run symbol 1 is displayed in the second pseudo period, and then the third pseudo If the pseudo run effect is executed with a pseudo continuous effect pattern in which the pseudo run symbol 3 is displayed in a period and the production symbol is finally stopped without the pseudo run symbol being displayed thereafter, immediately before the special symbol stops The pseudo run symbol displayed is the pseudo run symbol 3.
Comparing the pseudo continuous effect of the two, the pseudo continuous number is the same, but the type of pseudo running symbol displayed immediately before the final stop of the production symbol is different, in this case, immediately before the final stop of the production symbol The latter pseudo continuous effect pattern in which the pseudo run symbol 3 is displayed has a configuration with a higher expectation for the jackpot.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the expectation for the big hit is different depending on the type of the pseudo run symbol displayed immediately before the production symbol is stopped, so for example, the production symbol is changed three times In the case where the pseudo run symbol displayed just before the production design is stopped is the pseudo run symbol 2 and in the pseudo continuous play in which the production design changes again twice, in the pseudo continuous play, the play design immediately before the production stop When the displayed pseudo run symbol is compared with the case of the pseudo run symbol 3, even if the number of re-changes is small, the latter pseudo continuous effect has a higher expectation for the jackpot. In the present embodiment, if the number of times the rendition symbol re-changes (pseudo-continuous number of times) is different from each other in the pseudo continuous rendition, the rendition displayed immediately before the final stop of the rendition symbol is the same. The pseudo-continuous effect pattern in which the number of times the symbol changes again (the number of pseudo continuous times) is higher in the expectation for the jackpot.

  In the present embodiment, it has been described that the expectation for the big hit is different depending on the type of pseudo run symbol displayed immediately before the production design stops, instead of the pseudo continuous number, but it is not limited thereto. The expectation of the jackpot may be made different depending on the type of symbol and the number of pseudo continuous times, for example, the number of pseudo continuous times is one and the pseudo run pattern displayed immediately before the final stop of the effect design is pseudo In the case of consecutive symbol 1, the expectation for the big hit is the lowest, the number of pseudo continuous times is 3 times, and the pseudo consecutive symbol displayed immediately before the final stop of the production symbol is the pseudo consecutive symbol 3, against the big hit The configuration may be such that the expectation of both the type of pseudo run symbol and the number of pseudo continuous times are multiplied so that the expectation is the highest. As a result, it is possible to more widely distribute the player's attention points to the pseudo continuous effect, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

  Further, in the variation pattern in which the pseudo continuous effect in the present embodiment is executed, when the stop symbol of the effect symbol includes a predetermined pseudo linked symbol, for example, among the three effect symbols that stop in the order of left, right, and middle When the pseudo symbol is superimposed on the middle symbol which is the final stop symbol and stopped and displayed, before the next re-variation of the rendering symbol is executed, the stopped pseudo symbol is in another pseudo symbol It may change. More specifically, it is assumed that when the middle symbol is stopped (temporarily stopped) in the first pseudo period, the pseudo run symbol 1 is superimposed and stopped. Next, before shifting to the second pseudo period, a display is made to switch (change) the pseudo run symbol 1 to, for example, the pseudo run symbol 2. And after displaying the pseudo run symbol after change and making the 1st pseudo period end, it shifts to the 2nd pseudo period. That is, in the first pseudo period, the pseudo run symbol is promoted from the pseudo run symbol 1 to the pseudo run symbol 2 having a higher degree of expectation. As a result, after the pseudo run symbol is stopped in the pseudo continuous play, the player can be switched to a pseudo run symbol having a higher degree of expectation to cause the pseudo run effect to occur, and the player can be expected to expect whether or not to continue. It can enhance the interest for continuous production.

Further, in the pseudo continuous effect of this embodiment, after the pseudo run symbol is temporarily stopped in the current pseudo period, a promotion inclining effect (described later) is performed asking whether to promote to a pseudo run symbol having a higher degree of expectation. May be
In addition, as a case where a pseudo | simulation string design is promoted, there are a case where it promotes after performing a promotion turning production, and a case where it promotes without performing a promotion turning production.

  The number of executions of the promotion turning effect is determined based on the fluctuation pattern, and in the fluctuation patterns 8 to 10 and 21 to 23, it is executed once in any pseudo period in a series of pseudo continuous effects, and the fluctuation pattern 12, 13, 25 and 26 are executed twice in any pseudo period in the series of pseudo continuous effects, and in the variation patterns 14 and 27, they are executed in all pseudo periods in the series of pseudo continuous effects.

  In addition, although the promotion turning effect in this embodiment is provided when the pseudo run symbol is displayed and when it is not performed, for example, when the pseudo run symbol is displayed as another configuration It may be performed by all means.

Next, pseudo continuous effect patterns drawn in accordance with fluctuation patterns determined based on various commands transmitted from the determined main control board 1310 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
FIG. 181 is a view showing a pseudo continuous effect pattern table selected by the periphery control board 1510.
The pseudo-continuous effect pattern table includes the number of re-variation of the effect pattern (the number of pseudo-sequences) in the series of pseudo-continuous effects, the number of times of promotion turning effects performed in the series of pseudo-continuous effects, and the pseudo-run symbols currently displayed Also set the number of times (promotion number of times) to switch to the pseudo run pattern with a high degree of expectation for the jackpot.
In the fluctuation pattern, the number of re-variation of the rendering symbol and the number of times of promotion turning effect execution are set, so that the pseudo continuous rendering pattern corresponding to them is selected.
For example, when the variation pattern 5 is selected among the variation patterns, the temporary stop and re-variation number of the rendering pattern is “2” (the third pseudo period becomes the main variation), and the pattern in which the promotion turning effect is not performed Therefore, among the pseudo continuous effect patterns shown, it is selected from any one of the pseudo B2, 5, and 6.

  With regard to the probability of selection of the variation pattern for which the promotion turning effect is executed among the variation pattern tables shown in FIG. 181, the probability of being selected is low when the win result is out, and conversely, the win result is the big hit The probability of being selected is higher than in the case of outliers. In other words, it can be said that the expectation for the jackpot is also higher when the promotion stumbling effect is executed than when it is not executed. In other words, because the promotion turning effect is performed itself is an effect that indicates that there is a high probability of being a big hit, the simulated twining symbol currently displayed although the promotion turning effect is performed Even if the game is not switched to a high probability of winning the jackpot, it is possible to keep the player expecting the jackpot to be sustained, thereby preventing a decline in interest in the game. It is possible to

Next, in the pseudo continuous effect pattern table shown in FIG. 181, the pseudo continuous symbol display pattern drawn according to the selected pseudo continuous effect pattern will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 186 is a diagram showing a first pseudo continuous symbol display pattern table which is selected when the promotion turning effect and the pseudo continuous symbol promotion are not executed.
FIG. 187 is a diagram showing a second pseudo continuous symbol display pattern table which is selected when the pseudo continuous symbol promotion is performed without the promotion turning effect being executed.
FIG. 188 is a diagram showing a third pseudo continuous symbol display pattern table which is selected when both a promotion turning effect and a pseudo continuous symbol promotion are executed.
In the pseudo run symbol display pattern table, it is set which pseudo run symbol is displayed by the variation of each production pattern in the series of pseudo continuous effects, and furthermore, the pseudo run during the production symbol variation It is set whether the pattern is promoted.

In each of the pseudo continuous symbol display pattern tables shown in FIGS. 186 to 188, it is set whether a promotion turning effect or promotion of a pseudo continuous symbol is executed in the pseudo continuous effect pattern determined in the pseudo continuous effect pattern table The table to be selected has a different configuration depending on whether it is not.
When the selected pseudo continuous effect pattern is one in which the promotion turning effect and the pseudo continuous symbol promotion pertaining to the pseudo continuous symbol are not executed, the pseudo continuous effect pattern is selected from the first pseudo continuous symbol display pattern table of FIG. 186 It is supposed to
If the selected pseudo continuous effect pattern is one in which the pseudo continuous symbol promotion is executed without the promotion turning effect relating to the pseudo continuous symbol being executed, from the second pseudo continuous symbol display pattern table of FIG. 187 A pseudo continuous effect pattern is selected.
The third pseudo continuous symbol display pattern in FIG. 188 is displayed if the selected pseudo continuous effect pattern is to perform or not promote the pseudo continuous symbol promotion and the promotion turning effect relating to the pseudo continuous symbol is executed. The pseudo continuous effect pattern is selected from the table.

  In addition, "pseudo 1" shown in the first to third pseudo run symbol display pattern table corresponds to the run symbol 1 and "pseudo 2" corresponds to the run symbol 2 and "pseudo 3" is the run symbol 3 And correspond.

Further, when, for example, the variation pattern 17 is selected among the variation patterns, the temporary stop and re-variation number of the effect pattern is one time (the second pseudo period becomes a main variation), and a pattern in which the promotion turning effect is not performed Therefore, the pseudo continuous effect pattern shown in FIG. 181 is selected from either pseudo B1 or pseudo B4.
When pseudo B1 is selected, it is a pattern in which the promotion turning effect and the pseudo run symbol promotion are not executed, so the pseudo run symbol display pattern is selected from the first pseudo run symbol display pattern table and the pseudo B4 is selected. Since the pseudo run symbol promotion is executed without the promotion turning effect being executed, the pseudo run symbol display pattern is selected from the second pseudo run symbol display pattern table. Here, it is assumed that the pseudo B4 is selected.

  The temporary stop and re-variation number of the effect image of pseudo B4 is one time (the second pseudo period becomes a main change), the promotion turning effect is not executed, and the pseudo consecutive symbol promotion is executed once. Thus, it is selected from any of the pseudo run symbol display patterns 82 to 84 in the second pseudo run symbol display pattern table.

  For example, when the pseudo run symbol display pattern 82 is selected, the pseudo run symbol 1 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the first pseudo period. Since “pseudo 1 → 2” is shown in the first pseudo period column, the pseudo run symbol 1 is promoted and the pseudo run symbol 2 is displayed, so that it shifts to the second pseudo period (re-variation) Before, an effect (pseudo run symbol promotion) in which the pseudo run symbol 1 being displayed is replaced with the pseudo run symbol 2 is executed. Then, shift to the next second pseudo period.

  Specifically, the main control board 1310 transmits a starting opening winning command for instructing the start of starting opening winning effect from the main control board 1310 in response to the game ball hit by the player having won the starting opening as a specific flow of effects. And the variation pattern to be subjected to the pseudo continuous rendition based on it is selected, and the pseudo continuous rendition pattern and the pseudo recurrent symbol display pattern corresponding to the variation pattern are determined, the special figure 1 tuning effect start command or the special figure 2 tuning effect The start command is transmitted, and the variable display of the three, left, right, and middle effect symbols displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 is started. Immediately after that, a special symbol 1 designation command or a special symbol 2 designation command is transmitted. Then, as shown in FIG. 189 (A), the left and right effect symbols are stopped and displayed respectively, and finally a fighter character as a middle symbol. "Simulated run symbol 1" which imitates is displayed.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 189 (B) to (C), “pseudo run pattern 1” rotates around the vertical direction as a response to “pseudo run pattern 1” being promoted to “pseudo run pattern 2”. As shown in FIG. 189 (D), “pseudo-series symbol 2” imitating a tank is displayed.

  According to the above, the pseudo run symbol is displayed not only by displaying the pseudo run symbol as a middle symbol but by executing a pseudo run symbol promotion that switches to a pseudo run symbol with a higher degree of expectation from there. Since it is possible to give the player a greater expectation than the game, it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

Besides, for example, when the fluctuation pattern 25 is selected among the fluctuation patterns, the number of temporary stops and re-changes of the effect pattern is two times (the third pseudo period becomes the main fluctuation), and the promotion turning effect is twice Since it becomes a pattern to be executed, it is selected from any of the pseudo B13 to B15 among the pseudo continuous effect patterns shown in FIG.
Further, since the pseudo B13 to B15 are patterns for which the promotion turning effect is executed, the pseudo continuous symbol display pattern is selected from the third pseudo continuous symbol display pattern table.

  For example, when the pseudo B13 is selected from the pseudo continuous effect pattern, the temporary stop and re-change number of the effect pattern of the pseudo B13 are executed twice (the third pseudo period becomes a main change), and the promotion turning effect is twice Since it is a pattern that is executed and the pseudo run symbol promotion is not performed, it is selected from the pseudo run symbol display pattern 26 or the pseudo run symbol display pattern 32 in the third pseudo run symbol display pattern table.

  When the pseudo run symbol display pattern 26 is selected, the pseudo run symbol 1 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the first pseudo period. Then, before transitioning to the second pseudo period (re-variation), a promotion turning effect is performed. Since “pseudo 1 → 1” is shown in the first pseudo period column, the pseudo run symbol 1 is not promoted and the final pseudo run symbol in the first pseudo period is displayed as the pseudo run symbol 1 , Shift to the next second pseudo period. Similarly, even in the second pseudo period, “pseudo 1 → 1” is shown in the second pseudo period column, so after the pseudo run symbol 1 is temporarily stopped and displayed, the promotion turning effect is executed, and the pseudo run is performed. Transition to the third pseudo period without promoting the design 1. Since the number of temporary stops and re-variations of the effect pattern in the change pattern 25 is two, the pseudo run pattern is not displayed in the third pseudo period, and a predetermined reach effect is performed.

In addition, when one pattern is selected from a plurality of patterns by the peripheral control board 1510, such as a pseudo continuous effect pattern or a pseudo continuous symbol display pattern, the result of the currently selected fluctuation pattern is selected depending on whether it is a big hit or not The proportion of patterns that are made is different.
First, the selection ratio of the pseudo continuous effect pattern will be described. For example, taking the fluctuation pattern 25 described above as an example, the hit result of the fluctuation pattern 25 is a big hit by transmitting various commands classified as a big hit, and therefore, the drawing is made when the fluctuation pattern 25 is selected. Of the pseudo B13 to B15 in the pseudo continuous effect pattern, the rate at which the pseudo B15 in which pseudo linked symbol promotion is performed twice is selected is the highest, and then the pseudo linked symbol promotion is performed once pseudo B14, and the pseudo linked symbol The probability that the pseudo B13 which is not promoted is selected is the lowest.
On the other hand, if any of the pseudo B13 to B15 is selected and the fluctuation pattern 12 whose falling result is out is selected, the pseudo B13 which is not subjected to the pseudo run pattern promotion has the highest rate of selection. The probability that a pseudo run symbol promotion is performed once and a pseudo run where the pseudo run symbol promotion is performed twice is lowest is the lowest.

Then, the selection ratio of a pseudo | simulation continuous symbol display pattern is demonstrated. Similarly, in the case of the pseudo run pattern display pattern, for example, when the variation pattern 25 which is a big hit is selected and the pseudo B13 of the pseudo continuous effect pattern is selected, the expectation of the pseudo run pattern shown in FIG. The rate at which the high pseudo connected symbol display pattern 32 is selected is the highest.
In addition, when the fluctuation pattern 12 whose hit result is disappointing is selected and the pseudo B13 of the pseudo continuous effect pattern is selected, the ratio at which the pseudo continuous symbol display pattern 26 having a low expectation of the pseudo continuous symbol displayed is selected. Is the highest.

  As a result, in the series of pseudo continuous effects, the player is executed how many times the variation of the production symbol is executed, or the promotion turning production is executed, if it is executed, how many times it is executed, the pseudo run pattern promotion Whether it will be performed, how many times it will be performed, whether the pseudo-diverging symbol immediately before the production design is finally stopped has a high degree of expectation, etc., in addition to the number of repetitions of the production design, a big hit Since there are a plurality of variations in the material for achieving the degree of expectation for the game, it is possible to make a single rendition come true, and to significantly improve the interest in the game.

  In the series of pseudo continuous rendition in this embodiment, the falling of the pseudo run symbol is not performed. Describing in detail, for example, it is assumed that the pseudo run symbol 2 is displayed in the first pseudo period. Next, when a pseudo run symbol is displayed in the second pseudo period, a pseudo run symbol having an expectation of 2 or more pseudo run symbols is always displayed. If, during the second pseudo period, a pseudo run symbol with a lower expectation for jackpot than the pseudo run symbol displayed in the second pseudo period is displayed, the variation of the production design is continuously repeated. In spite of this, it feels that the degree of expectation has been lowered, and there is a risk that the interest in the game will be reduced, so this is configured to be deterred.

Next, an example of the flow of a series of pseudo continuous effects will be described with reference to FIGS.
189 to 192 are diagrams showing an example of a series of pseudo continuous effects performed when it is determined to perform pseudo continuous effects.
Here, a pseudo continuous effect which is executed up to the fourth pseudo period (the number of pseudo continuous times is 3 times), and is described by taking pseudo B23 as an example where a promotion turning effect is performed 3 times and a pseudo continuous symbol promotion is performed twice. Do.

[First pseudo period]
First, as shown in FIG. 190 (A), a starting opening winning command is transmitted triggered by the game ball hit by the player having won a starting opening, and a variation pattern for performing pseudo continuous effect is selected, When the pseudo continuous effect pattern and the pseudo run pattern display pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern are determined, the symbol synchronization effect start command is transmitted and displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600. The three effects of left, right and middle are displayed The variable display of the symbol is started.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 190 (B) to (C), the left and right effect symbols are stopped and displayed respectively, and finally, as a middle symbol, “pseudo-connected symbol 1” imitating a fighter is displayed. In addition, in pseudo | simulation B23, since a promotion turning production | presentation is performed in the fluctuation | variation of all the production | presentation symbols, a promotion turning production | presentation is performed before transfering to a 2nd pseudo | simulation period.

  As shown in FIG. 190 (D), when the promotion turning effect is executed, the pseudo run symbol 1 displayed as a middle symbol is moved to the right of the game board side effect display device 1600 (hereinafter, also referred to as a screen). Let the simulated run pattern 2 imitating a tank be derived and displayed on the left side of the screen. Under the present circumstances, in order to perform promotion turning production over the whole screen, each production design is made to be displayed small at the upper left of the screen. Then, the pseudo run symbol 1 shoots a machine gun, and the pseudo run symbol 2 shoots a main gun, and a shooting effect is executed.

  If the pattern 70 is selected among the pseudo run symbol display patterns (pattern 70 or 72) corresponding to the pseudo B23, the pseudo run symbol finally displayed in the first pseudo period is “the pseudo run symbol 1 Therefore, after the shooting effect, as shown in FIG. 190 (E2), an image is displayed as if the “pseudo-series symbol 2” exploded and was destroyed. By doing this, it is shown that "simulated combination symbol 1" has won in the shooting effect, and as shown in FIG. 190 (F2), the destroyed "simulated combination symbol 2" moves out of the screen, and the shooting combination effect The "pseudo run symbol 1" that has won is moved and displayed at the middle symbol position, and the effect symbol displayed at the upper left of the screen is moved and displayed at the original position (without promotion). After that, it shifts to the second pseudo period.

  If the pattern 72 is selected among the pseudo run symbol display patterns (pattern 70 or 72) corresponding to the pseudo B23, the pseudo run symbol finally displayed in the first pseudo period is “the pseudo run symbol 2 Therefore, after the shooting effect, as shown in FIG. 190 (E1), an image is displayed as if the "simulated continuous symbol 1" is exploded and shot down. By doing this, it is shown that the "simulated series 2" has won in the shooting effect, and as shown in FIG. 190 (F1), the destroyed "simulated series 1" moves out of the screen, and the shooting effect is produced. The "pseudo run symbol 2" that has won is moved and displayed at the middle symbol position, and the effect symbol displayed at the upper left of the screen is moved and displayed at the original position (promotion). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 190 (G), the effect pattern re-variates and shifts to the second pseudo period.

[Second pseudo period]
If the pattern 70 is selected among the pseudo run symbol display patterns (pattern 70 or 72) corresponding to the pseudo B23, the pseudo run symbol finally displayed in the first pseudo period is “the pseudo run symbol 1 Since the pseudo run symbol that is finally displayed in this second pseudo period is “the pseudo run symbol 2”, the production symbol to be promoted from “the pseudo run symbol 1” to the “pseudo run symbol 2” 190 (A), 190 (B), 190 (C), 190 (D), 190 (E2), 190 (F2), and 190 (G) in the order of FIG. Is executed to shift to the third pseudo period.

  Moreover, when the pattern 72 is selected among the pseudo run symbol display patterns (pattern 70 or 72) corresponding to the pseudo B23, the pseudo run symbol finally displayed in the first pseudo period is “a pseudo run symbol. Since it is “design 2” and the pseudo run symbol that is finally displayed in this second pseudo period is “the pseudo run symbol 2”, FIG. 190 (A) executed to re-variation in FIG. 190 (G) is executed After that, as shown in FIGS. 191 (B) to 191 (C), the left and right effect symbols are stopped and displayed respectively, and finally, the “simulated run symbol 2” is displayed as a middle symbol.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 191 (D), when the promotion turning effect is executed, the pseudo run symbol 2 displayed as the middle symbol is moved and displayed on the right side of the screen to simulate “war run symbol 3” that simulates a warship. Is displayed on the left side of the screen. In this case as well, as described above, each effect design is displayed in a small size at the upper left of the screen in order to perform the promotion turning effect over the entire screen. And, the simulated run pattern 2 shoots the main gun, and the pseudo run pattern 3 fires, a shooting effect is executed.

  After the shooting effect, as shown in FIG. 191 (E2), an image is displayed as if the "simulated run symbol 3" exploded and was sunk. By doing this, it is shown that the "simulated series 2" won in the shooting effect, and as shown in FIG. 191 (F2), the sunk "simulated series 3" moves to the outside of the screen, and the shooting series is displayed. The victorious "simulated run symbol 2" is moved to the middle symbol position, and each effect symbol displayed on the upper left of the screen is moved to the original position (no promotion). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the third pseudo period.

[Third pseudo period]
Among the pseudo run symbol display patterns (pattern 70 or 72) corresponding to the pseudo B23, the pseudo run symbol finally displayed in the second pseudo period is "the pseudo run symbol 2" in both the pattern 70 and the pattern 72. And since the pseudo run symbol finally displayed in this third pseudo period is “the pseudo run symbol 3”, the flow of FIGS. 191 (A) to (D) described above is executed, and after the shooting effect As shown in FIG. 191 (E1), an image is displayed as if the "simulated run symbol 2" is exploded and destroyed. By doing this, it is shown that the "simulated series 3" has won in the shooting effect, and as shown in FIG. 191 (F1), the destroyed "simulated series 2" moves out of the screen, and the shooting effect is produced. The "pseudo run symbol 3" that has won is moved and displayed at the middle symbol position, and each effect symbol displayed at the upper left of the screen is moved and displayed at the original position (promotion). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the third pseudo period.

[4th pseudo period]
In the pseudo B23 described in the present embodiment, as described above, the fourth pseudo period becomes the main fluctuation, so after re-fluctuation in the third pseudo period is performed, the left, right, and three of the middle After the reach effect has been executed without a pseudo run symbol, a special figure 1 tuning effect end command or a special figure 2 tuning effect end command is transmitted, and the winning result is derived and displayed according to the determined variation pattern . The above is an example of a series of pseudo continuous effect patterns.

In addition, the pseudo run symbol promotion is promoted from the "pseudo run symbol 1" to "the pseudo run symbol 2" as mentioned above, or the expectation for the jackpot such as "the pseudo run symbol 2" is promoted to the "pseudo run symbol 3" It does not have to be promoted to a one-step higher pseudo linked symbol. Specifically, as shown in FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 192 (A), a starting opening winning command is transmitted triggered by the game ball hit by the player having won a starting opening, and then a variation pattern for performing pseudo continuous effect is selected, and When the pseudo continuous effect pattern and the pseudo connected symbol display pattern corresponding to the change pattern are determined, the fluctuation display of the three effect symbols in the left, right, and middle displayed on the screen when the symbol tuning effect start command is transmitted is started Be done.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 192 (B) to (C), the left and right effect symbols are respectively displayed in a stopped state, and finally, as a middle symbol, “pseudo-connected symbol 1” imitating a fighter is displayed. Next, as shown in FIG. 192 (D), when the promotion turning effect is executed, the pseudo run symbol 1 displayed as a middle symbol is moved and displayed on the right side of the screen, and “pse simulated run symbol 3” imitating a warship , Display derived on the left side of the screen. Then, the pseudo run symbol 1 shoots a machine gun, and the pseudo run symbol 2 shoots a main gun, and a shooting effect is executed.

In the case where the pattern to be promoted is selected from among the pseudo run pattern display patterns after the shooting effect, as shown in FIG. 192 (E1), the image display as if the “run run 1” exploded and was destroyed I do. By doing this, it is shown that "simulated series 3" has won in the shooting effect, and as shown in FIG. 192 (F1), the destroyed "simulated series 1" moves out of the screen, and the shooting effect is produced. The "pseudo run symbol 3" that has won is moved and displayed at the middle symbol position, and the effect symbol displayed at the upper left of the screen is moved and displayed at the original position (promotion).
In addition, when a pattern not to be promoted is selected among the pseudo linked symbol display patterns, as shown in FIG. 192 (E2), an image is displayed as if the “pseudo linked symbol 3” is exploded and destroyed. . By doing this, it is shown that "simulated series 2" won in the shooting effect, and as shown in FIG. 192 (F2), the destroyed "simulated series 3" moves out of the screen, and the shooting effect is produced. The "pseudo run symbol 3" that has won is moved and displayed at the middle symbol position, and the effect symbol displayed at the upper left of the screen is moved and displayed at the original position (without promotion).

  According to the example of presentation described above, the pseudo run symbol which is different from each other in the expectation for the big hit is simply displayed not only to suggest the expectation to the player, but also after being displayed, the pseudo run symbol with higher expectation. Since the player can be made to feel comfortable depending on whether or not the pseudo linked symbol is promoted, conventionally, the suggestion of the expectation is performed only by the number of repetitions of the pseudo variable display game. As compared with the game, it is possible to pay attention to the contents of the effects performed in the pseudo continuous rendition, whereby the interest for the game can be greatly improved.

  In the pseudo continuous effect in the present embodiment, based on the selection of the pseudo continuous effect pattern and the pseudo run pattern display pattern, a promotion turning effect and a pseudo run symbol are displayed for the play pattern displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600. Although the promotion has been described as being executed, the present invention is not limited to this, and on the contrary, it is displayed that the displayed pseudo straight symbol is demoted as to whether it is demoted to a pseudo continuous symbol with a lower degree of expectation. The pseudo run symbol may be demoted to a pseudo run symbol with a low degree of expectation.

For example, after the symbol synchronization effect start command is transmitted and the variable display of the three left, right and middle effect symbols displayed on the screen is started and the left and right effect symbols are respectively stopped and displayed, Finally, as a middle symbol, "pseudo series symbol 2" which imitates a tank is displayed. Next, the pseudo run symbol 2 displayed as the middle symbol is moved and displayed on the right side of the screen, and the "pseudo run symbol 1" imitating a fighter is derived and displayed on the left side of the screen. Then, the pseudo run symbol 1 shoots the machine gun, and the pseudo run symbol 2 shoots the main gun, and a shooting effect (demotional turning effect) is executed.
If a pattern (not shown) is selected where a pseudo linked symbol demotion is performed,
The image is displayed as if the "simulated string 2" exploded and was destroyed. By doing this, it is shown that the "simulated series 1" won in the shooting effect, and the "pseudo series 2" that has been destroyed moves out of the screen, and the "simulated series 1" which won the shooting effect is The movement design is displayed at the middle symbol position, and the effect design displayed at the upper left of the screen is displayed moved to the original position (demotion).
On the contrary, when the pattern in which the pseudo run symbol demotion is not performed is selected, the image display as if the "pseudo run symbol 1" is exploded and destroyed is performed. By doing this, it is shown that "simulated series 2" won in the shooting effect, and the "pseudo series 1" that has been destroyed moves out of the screen, and "simulated series 2" which won the shooting effect is The movement design is displayed at the middle symbol position, and the effect design displayed at the upper left of the screen is displayed moved to the original position (without demotion).

  As a result, after the pseudo run symbols having different degrees of expectation for the jackpot are displayed, the pseudo run symbol having a lower degree of expectation than the pseudo run symbol displayed from there may be displayed (demotion), the game Since the player can be made to feel at ease by making the player go throbbing, and it is possible to bring the player to a standstill depending on whether the pseudo linked symbol is demoted or maintained as it is, it is possible to suppress a drop in interest for the game.

  The pseudo continuous effect described in the present embodiment is not limited to the execution of superimposing various pseudo continuous symbols on, for example, a middle symbol, and is not limited to an existing effect symbol (hereinafter referred to as "7" or the like) , And may be performed by a combination of numbers and symbols. As an example, the left symbol is temporarily stopped with a predetermined number symbol, and then the right symbol and the middle symbol are temporarily displayed with the same number symbols other than the number symbols displayed as the left symbol (example: left symbol “5 The pseudo continuous effect may be executed triggered by the middle symbol "6" and the right symbol "6"). Further, the degree of expectation for the jackpot may be different depending on the value of the number symbol displayed in the middle symbol and the right symbol. (For example, “1” “2” “2” expectation (low), “5” “7” “7” (high)) Thus, special pseudo run symbols such as the pseudo run symbol 1 etc. become a number symbol Even if it is not displayed in a superimposed manner, the pseudo continuous effect may be executed, so it is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged by not displaying the pseudo running symbol, and the interest for the game is lowered. Can be suppressed. In addition, since the combination of the number symbol demonstrated here is only an example of many examples, it is not necessary to make the right symbol and the middle symbol the same number symbol, and the combination of various number symbols can be used. The combination of the numbers may change the expectation for the jackpot, or the combination of the different numbers may have the same expectation for the jackpot, and it is possible to execute a wide variety of patterns.

[Timing chart of pseudo continuous fluctuation]
Next, the execution timings of the promotion turning effect and the pseudo continuous symbol promotion in the series of pseudo continuous effects of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 193 is a diagram for describing timings of control of a series of pseudo continuous effects in the present embodiment. In addition, what the fluctuation | variation of a production | presentation pattern is performed to a 4th pseudo period is mentioned as an example here.

  FIG. 193 (A) is a timing chart corresponding to a case where a pseudo-run symbol display pattern is selected from the first pseudo-run symbol display pattern table in which the promotion turning effect and the pseudo run symbol promotion are not executed.

  In FIG. 193 (A), first, at time t10, the game ball is in a starting winning combination, and a starting opening winning command is transmitted to start variable display of a special symbol on the main control board 1310. At this time, a symbol tuning effect start command or the like is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510. The peripheral control board 1510 receives the command and selects a fluctuation pattern for executing the pseudo continuous effect.

  When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of variation of the rendering symbol, the pseudo-linking symbol corresponding to the selected pseudo-linking symbol display pattern is temporarily stopped at time t11. Thereafter, at time t14, re-variation of the effect pattern is started. The period from time t10 to time t14 is a series of flows of the first pseudo period described above. Thereafter, also in the second pseudo period and the third pseudo period, the pseudo run symbol corresponding to the selected pseudo run symbol display pattern is temporarily stopped, and at the time t15 when the fourth pseudo period (main change) is started, reach The presentation is performed. Then, after the reach effect is finished, the fluctuation state designating command is transmitted, and in synchronization with the end of the fluctuation display of the special symbol on the main control board 1310, the fluctuation of the production symbol is ended, and the determined symbol is displayed (time t18) .

FIG. 193 (B) is a time chart corresponding to a case where a pseudo continuous effect pattern is selected from the second pseudo continuous symbol display pattern table in which the pseudo continuous symbol promotion is executed without the promotion turning effect being executed.

  In FIG. 193 (B), first, at time t10, the game ball is in a starting winning combination, and a starting opening winning command is transmitted, and variable display of the special symbol on the main control board 1310 is started. At this time, a symbol tuning effect start command or the like is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510. The peripheral control board 1510 receives the command and selects a fluctuation pattern for executing the pseudo continuous effect.

  When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of variation of the rendering symbol, the pseudo-linking symbol corresponding to the selected pseudo-linking symbol display pattern is temporarily stopped at time t11. After that, at time t12 before the re-variation of the rendering symbol is started, the temporary stopping symbol is promoted to a pseudo connecting symbol having a high expectation for a big hit than the pseudo stopping symbol. Thereafter, at time t14, re-variation of the effect pattern is started. The period from time t10 to time t14 is a series of flows of the first pseudo period described above. Thereafter, in the second pseudo period and the third pseudo period, the pseudo run symbol corresponding to the selected pseudo run symbol display pattern is temporarily stopped and the pseudo run symbol promoted, and after the fourth pseudo period, at time t15, Reach production is performed. Then, after the reach effect is finished, the fluctuation state designating command is transmitted, and in synchronization with the end of the fluctuation display of the special symbol on the main control board 1310, the fluctuation of the production symbol is ended, and the determined symbol is displayed (time t18) .

  FIG. 193C shows the case where the pseudo continuous effect pattern is selected from the third pseudo continuous symbol display pattern table in which the promotion turning effect relating to the pseudo continuous symbol is executed regardless of whether or not the pseudo continuous symbol is promoted. It is a corresponding time chart.

  In FIG. 193 (C), first, at time t10, the game ball is in a starting winning combination, and the starting opening winning command is transmitted, and the variation display of the special symbol on the main control board 1310 is started. At this time, a symbol tuning effect start command or the like is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510. The peripheral control board 1510 receives the command and selects a fluctuation pattern for executing the pseudo continuous effect.

  When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of variation of the rendering symbol, the pseudo-linking symbol corresponding to the selected pseudo-linking symbol display pattern is temporarily stopped at time t11. Thereafter, at time t12 before the re-variation of the effect pattern is started, the promotion turning effect is executed. Next, at time t13, when the selected pseudo continuous effect pattern is to execute the pseudo run symbol promotion, the pseudo run symbol is promoted to a pseudo run symbol having a higher expectation for jackpot than the temporarily stopped pseudo run symbol. Thereafter, at time t14, re-variation of the effect pattern is started. The period from time t10 to time t14 is a series of flows of the first pseudo period described above. After that, during the second and third pseudo periods, the temporary run symbol corresponding to the selected pseudo run symbol display pattern is temporarily stopped, promoted toning effect and pseudo run symbol promotion, and the fourth pseudo period (this variation Reach production is performed at time t15 when the) is started. Then, after the reach effect is finished, the fluctuation state designating command is transmitted, and in synchronization with the end of the fluctuation display of the special symbol on the main control board 1310, the fluctuation of the production symbol is ended, and the determined symbol is displayed (time t18) .

[Another example of pseudo continuous production]
Next, another example of the pseudo continuous effect described above will be described.
First, in the pseudo continuous effect pattern table shown in FIG. 181, the fourth pseudo continuous symbol display pattern drawn according to the selected pseudo continuous effect pattern will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
FIG. 194 is a diagram showing a fourth pseudo continuous effects pattern table selected when the promotion turning effect and the pseudo continuous symbol promotion are not executed.

  Although the conditions under which the fourth pseudo continuous effect pattern table is selected are the same as in the case of the first pseudo continuous effect pattern table, the pseudo-connected symbols 1 to 3 described above are different from the first pseudo continuous effect pattern table. Before being displayed, an effect of displaying the pseudo run symbol 0 is performed.

  In addition, "pseudo 0" shown in the fourth pseudo run symbol display pattern table corresponds to the pseudo run symbol 0 (described later), "pseudo 1" corresponds to the pseudo run symbol 1, and "pseudo 2" is the pseudo run symbol 2 “Pseudo 3” corresponds to the pseudo run pattern 3 in correspondence.

  The pseudo run symbol 0 in the present embodiment is a symbol displayed superimposed on the middle symbol at the time of temporary stop of the middle symbol in the pseudo continuous effect as in the pseudo run symbols 1 to 3, but it is expected for the big hit It does not imply a degree. That is, in a series of pseudo continuous effects, depending on the type of pseudo run symbol displayed immediately before the re-change of the production symbol, unlike the configuration in which the degree of expectation is different, the single player does not have an expectation for a big hit but It is a pseudo run symbol which can show that a pseudo continuous production is performed.

The pseudo run pattern 0 can be switched to the pseudo run pattern 1 to 3 displayed based on the pattern set in the fourth pseudo continuous play pattern table by the variation of each production design in the series of pseudo continuous play It is a design. After the pseudo run symbol 0 is displayed, one of the pseudo run symbols 1 to 3 is always displayed after that, so the pseudo run effect is displayed before the pseudo run symbols 1 to 3 temporarily stop. It will be shown to the player that it is executed, and also has the effect of being able to reassure the player. Furthermore, since the degree of expectation to the big hit is unknown by the pseudo run symbol 0 alone, it is not known until immediately before the production design is temporarily stopped which one of the pseudo run symbols 1 to 3 switches to (changes). It is possible to make it possible to start from the beginning to the end in the variation of the production pattern, it is possible to improve the interest to the game.
In addition, as timing to switch from the pseudo run symbol 0 to the pseudo run symbol 1 to 3, it may be immediately after the pseudo run symbol 0 is displayed, or may be just before the rendering symbol is temporarily stopped, and various modes can be taken. . Moreover, as a switch from the pseudo run symbol 0 to the pseudo run symbols 1 to 3, when it comes to the switching timing, it may be switched instantaneously or may be gradually changed.

Next, an example of the pseudo continuous effect when the pseudo run symbol 0 is displayed will be described below with reference to FIG.
When, for example, the variation pattern 17 is selected among the variation patterns, the temporary stop and re-variation number of the effect pattern is one time (the second pseudo period becomes the main variation), and the promotion turning effect is not executed. Therefore, the pseudo continuous effect pattern shown in FIG. 181 is selected from either pseudo B1 or pseudo B4.
When pseudo B1 is selected, it is a pattern for which the promotion turning effect and the pseudo run symbol promotion are not executed, so the pseudo run symbol display pattern is from the first pseudo run symbol display pattern table or the fourth pseudo run symbol display pattern table. If pseudo B4 is selected, the pseudo run symbol promotion is executed without the promotion turning effect being executed, so the pseudo run symbol display pattern is selected from the second pseudo run symbol display pattern table. Be done. Here, it is assumed that the pseudo B1 is selected and the pseudo continuous effect of the fourth pseudo connected symbol display pattern is executed.

  The temporary stop and re-variation number of the effect image of the pseudo B1 is one time (the second pseudo period becomes the main change), and neither the promotion turning effect nor the pseudo run symbol promotion is a pattern that is not executed, so the fourth pseudo run symbol It is selected from any of the pseudo run symbol display patterns 104 to 106 in the display pattern table.

  For example, when the pseudo run symbol display pattern 104 is selected, the pseudo run symbol 0 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the first pseudo period. Since “pseudo 0 → 1” is shown in the first pseudo period column, the pseudo run symbol 0 is switched to the pseudo run symbol 1 and displayed, so it shifts to the second pseudo period (re-variation Before), an effect (hereinafter, also referred to as a switching effect) to switch from the displayed pseudo run symbol 0 to the pseudo run symbol 1 is executed. Then, shift to the next second pseudo period.

  Specifically, the main control board 1310 transmits a starting opening winning command for instructing the start of starting opening winning effect from the main control board 1310 in response to the game ball hit by the player having won the starting opening as a specific flow of effects. And the variation pattern to be subjected to the pseudo continuous rendition based on it is selected, and the pseudo continuous rendition pattern and the pseudo recurrent symbol display pattern corresponding to the variation pattern are determined, the special figure 1 tuning effect start command or the special figure 2 tuning effect A start command is transmitted, and as shown in FIG. 195 (A), variable display of three effect symbols left, right, and inside displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 is started. Immediately after that, a special symbol 1 designation command or a special symbol 2 designation command is transmitted. Then, as shown in FIG. 195 (B), the left and right effect symbols are stopped and displayed respectively, and then shown in FIG. 195 (C) As a middle pattern, "pseudo run pattern 0" on which a "?" Mark is drawn is displayed.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 195 (D) to (F), “pseudo run pattern 0” rotates around the vertical direction as a response to switching from “pseudo run pattern 0” to “pseudo run symbol 1” Such a display is performed, and then "pseudo run pattern 1" which imitates a fighter plane is displayed. A temporary stop of the first pseudo period is established when the “pseudo-connected symbol 1” is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 195 (G), it shifts to the second pseudo period in which the main fluctuation occurs.

  By the above, as the middle symbol, the pseudo run symbols 1 to 3 that indicate the degree of expectation for the big hit are not only displayed, but the expectation is set before any of the pseudo run symbols 1 to 3 are displayed. By displaying the pseudo run symbol 0 which is not possessed, it is shown to the player that the pseudo continuous effect is being executed, and while giving a sense of security, the pseudo run symbol 1 having an expectation from the pseudo run symbol 0 thereafter. The interest to the game can be improved by being able to produce a throbbing feeling in terms of which of the three consecutive symbols to be switched among -3.

[Another embodiment of the pseudo run pattern 0]
Although the above-mentioned "pseudo run pattern 0" has no expectation degree in a single body, and further, it is explained as an unknown thing which pseudo run pattern with which expectation degree is switched to at all, but suggests an expectation degree for jackpot It may be

  For example, in the case where a pattern to be switched to "pseudo run symbol 2" is selected from "pseudo run symbol 0" as an example, for example, when pseudo run symbol display pattern 105 is selected, the pseudo run symbol in the first pseudo period 0 is displayed temporarily. Since “pseudo 0 → 2” is shown in the first pseudo period column, the pseudo run symbol 0 is switched to the pseudo run symbol 2 and displayed, so it shifts to the second pseudo period (re-variation The effect of switching from the displayed pseudo run symbol 0 to the pseudo run symbol 2 is executed before). Then, shift to the next second pseudo period.

Specifically, the main control board 1310 transmits a starting opening winning command for instructing the start of starting opening winning effect from the main control board 1310 in response to the game ball hit by the player having won the starting opening as a specific flow of effects. And the variation pattern to be subjected to the pseudo continuous rendition based on it is selected, and the pseudo continuous rendition pattern and the pseudo recurrent symbol display pattern corresponding to the variation pattern are determined, the special figure 1 tuning effect start command or the special figure 2 tuning effect A start command is transmitted, and, as shown in FIG. 196 (A), variable display of the three, left, right and middle effect symbols displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 is started. Immediately after that, a special symbol 1 designation command or a special symbol 2 designation command is transmitted. Then, as shown in FIG. 196 (B), the left and right presentation symbols are respectively displayed in a stopped state, and then as a middle symbol as shown in FIG. 196 (C), “pseudo run pattern 1” and “run run 2 "Pseudo run pattern 0" where "" was combined as one run pattern is displayed.
The "pseudo run symbol 0" in the present embodiment is a combination of a plurality of pseudo run symbols including the pseudo run symbol selected from the pseudo run symbol display pattern.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 195 (D) to (E), “pseudo run pattern 1” drawn on “pseudo run pattern 0” as a response to switching from “pseudo run pattern 0” to “pseudo run symbol 2” The effect that "" and "pseudo run pattern 2" are mutually pushed is performed. Next, as shown in FIG. 196 (F), “pseudo run symbol 2” that has won the pushing effect is displayed by switching from “the pseudo run symbol 0”. When the “pseudo-connected symbol 2” is displayed, the temporary stop of the first pseudo period is established, and as shown in FIG. 196 (G), it shifts to the second pseudo period in which the main fluctuation occurs.

  By the above, a combination of a plurality of pseudo run symbols (in the above, the pseudo run symbol 1 and the pseudo run symbol 2) including the pseudo run temporary stop symbol set by the pseudo run symbol display pattern is referred to as “the pseudo run symbol By displaying as “0”, it can be suggested that any of the plurality of pseudo-series symbols having the degree of expectation drawn on the pseudo-series symbol 0 may temporarily stop, and the player may be rejoiced by the result of the pushing effect. By doing, it is possible to improve the interest to the game.

  Moreover, the pattern which concerns on the display mode of the pseudo | simulation consecutive symbol 0 in, when pushing production is performed after a 1st pseudo | simulation period is demonstrated below. The following pattern corresponds to the pseudo-connected symbol display pattern of the fourth pseudo continuous effect pattern table.

[Pattern 118]
For example, an effect of pushing “pseudo run symbol 1” and “pseudo run symbol 2” drawn on “the pseudo run symbol 0” in the first pseudo period is executed. When the pseudo run symbol display pattern selected at that time is a pattern to be switched to “pseudo run symbol 1”, “pseudo run symbol 1” wins the pressing effect and is displayed by switching from “pseudo run symbol 0”.
Next, in the second pseudo period, the “pseudo run pattern 1” winning the pushing effect is displayed in the left half, and the “run run symbol 2” is displayed in the right half. Staggering effects are performed. If the pseudo run symbol display pattern selected at that time is a pattern to be switched to “pseudo run symbol 2”, “pseudo run symbol 2” wins the pressing effect and is displayed by switching from “pseudo run symbol 0”.
Next, in the third pseudo period, the pseudo run symbol 0 is displayed with the “pseudo run symbol 2” winning the pushing effect on the left half and the “pseudo run symbol 3” on the right half, To be executed. If the pseudo run symbol display pattern selected at that time is a pattern to be switched to “pseudo run symbol 3”, “pseudo run symbol 3” wins the pressing effect and is displayed by switching from “pseudo run symbol 0”.

  In the pattern 118, when the pushing effect is executed, the one winning the pushing effect performed immediately before is displayed on the left half of the pseudo consecutive symbol 0 to be displayed next.

[Pattern 119]
For example, an effect of pushing “pseudo run symbol 1” and “pseudo run symbol 2” drawn on “the pseudo run symbol 0” in the first pseudo period is executed. When the pseudo run symbol display pattern selected at that time is a pattern to be switched to “pseudo run symbol 1”, “pseudo run symbol 1” wins the pressing effect and is displayed by switching from “pseudo run symbol 0”.
Next, in the second pseudo period, the pseudo run symbol 0 is displayed with the “pseudo run symbol 1” winning the pushing effect on the left half and the “pseudo run symbol 3” on the right half. To be executed. If the pseudo run symbol display pattern selected at that time is a pattern to be switched to “pseudo run symbol 3”, “pseudo run symbol 3” wins the pressing effect and is displayed by switching from “pseudo run symbol 0”.
Next, in the third pseudo period, the pseudo run symbol 0 is displayed with the “pseudo run symbol 3” winning the pushing effect on the left half and the “pseudo run symbol 1” on the right half. To be executed. If the pseudo run symbol display pattern selected at that time is a pattern to be switched to “pseudo run symbol 3”, “pseudo run symbol 3” wins the pressing effect and is displayed by switching from “pseudo run symbol 0”.

  In the pattern 119, the situation where the eyes can not be overlooked from the beginning to the end by promoting at a stretch from the pseudo run symbol 1 to the pseudo run symbol 3 or directing that there is a risk of being demoted to the pseudo run symbol 1 at a stretch thereafter. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decline in interest for the game without getting tired.

Moreover, you may make it perform not only the pseudo | simulation continuous symbol display pattern shown by the 4th pseudo | simulation continuous presentation pattern table but the presentation demonstrated below. An effect of pushing "pseudo run symbol 1" and "pseudo run symbol 2" drawn on "pseudo run symbol 0" in the first pseudo period is executed. If the pseudo run symbol display pattern selected at that time is a pattern to be switched to “pseudo run symbol 2”, “pseudo run symbol 2” wins the pressing effect and is displayed by switching from “pseudo run symbol 0”.
Next, in the second pseudo period, the “pseudo run pattern 2” winning the pushing effect is displayed in the left half, and the “run run symbol 3” is displayed in the right half. To be executed. If the pseudo run symbol display pattern selected at that time is a pattern to be switched to “pseudo run symbol 3”, “pseudo run symbol 3” wins the pressing effect and is displayed by switching from “pseudo run symbol 0”.
Next, in the third pseudo period, a pseudo run symbol with the “pseudo run symbol 3” (not shown) showing that the “pse 0 is displayed, and an effect of pushing each other is performed. If the pseudo run symbol display pattern selected at that time is a pattern to be switched to "the pseudo run symbol 4", the "pseudo run symbol 4" wins the pressing effect and is displayed by switching from "the pseudo run symbol 0".

  In this pattern, in the first pseudo period and the second pseudo period, the one with higher expectation to win in the big win wins the pushing effect, and the variation of the production symbol reaches the third pseudo period, so the jackpot game is A "pseudo run pattern 4" (big hit determined symbol) on which a predetermined pattern indicating that it is decided to be performed is drawn is to appear. As a result, it is possible to give further expectation to the pseudo continuous effect, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

  In addition, when executing the above-described pushing effect, an effect of operating the operation button 410 may be performed. At the same time as the pressing effect starts, the game board side effect display device 1600 displays a predetermined image instructing the operation button 410 to perform an operation (such as a continuous hit or a long press, etc.), and the player operates the operation. By visualizing it, it is possible for the player to recall that a player with a higher expectation for the jackpot may win the battle effect by making an operation, and the player can actively participate in the game, The interest to the game can be improved. Incidentally, regardless of whether or not the operation button 410 is operated, various pseudo consecutive symbols are displayed based on the selected pseudo continuous symbol display pattern.

In addition, the display mode of "pseudo run pattern 0" is not limited to what was mentioned above, A various aspect can be selected.
When displaying “pseudo run pattern 0” on which “?” Mark is drawn, the probability of switching to “pseudo run pattern 1” is high when “?” Mark is small, and “pseudo run pattern 3” when large. It is possible to indicate to which one of the pseudo run symbols 1 to 3 to switch, depending on the display mode such as the color or size of the “?”

  In addition, the fourth pseudo continuous symbol display pattern table in the present embodiment is any one of the pseudo continuous symbol 0 to any of the pseudo continuous symbols 1 to 3 having an expectation from the pseudo continuous symbol 0 in all of the respective production symbol variations in the series of pseudo continuous effects. Although it has been exemplified that the effect to be switched is executed, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when a variation pattern in which re-variation of the effect pattern is executed twice is selected, even if the effect is switched only one of them is performed It is assumed that the number of times the switching effect in the series of pseudo continuous effects is performed can be selected as appropriate.

  In addition, in a series of pseudo continuous renditions, switching rendition may be performed at the time of fluctuation of the rendition symbol at which re-variation is finally executed (variation of rendition symbol just before the main fluctuation). Describing in detail, when a pattern in which re-variation of the effect design is executed twice is selected, first, “pseudo linked design 0” is displayed in the first pseudo period. In the above-described example, the effect is switched before the transition to the second pseudo period, but in the present embodiment, the effect symbol is temporarily stopped without switching from "pseudo-connected symbol 0", and the re-variation is executed. Transition to 2 pseudo periods. In the second pseudo period, after “pseudo linked symbol 0” is displayed, the rendering effect is executed before the rendering pattern shifts to the third pseudo period (main variation). Thus, from “pseudo run pattern 0”, among pseudo run symbols 1 to 3 having an expectation, until a timing of fluctuation of the production design at which re-variation is finally executed in a series of pseudo continuous effects, Since it becomes unclear which pseudo linked symbol is to be switched, it is possible to maintain a throbbing feeling for a long time, and to improve the interest in the game.

[Another embodiment of the starting port unit]
By the way, when provided with the starting opening unit 2100 as described above, for example, in the case of the normal gaming state which is not a time saving state or a probability fluctuation state, the reception of the game ball to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 If the game ball is accepted in the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004 until the special lottery result drawn from the start is suggested, the suggestion of the special lottery result can not be started. The start of the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result drawn in is completed, but with the reserved memory accumulated up to the maximum (for example, four), the gaming ball is further held at the first starting opening Even if the player wins a prize in 2002, since the game overflows and the hold is not stored, the player temporarily stops the firing of the game ball, performing a so-called strike, which results in useless firing and invalidity. Since to suppress the dynamic winning utmost concern arises that the pachinko machine 1 operating rate due to eventually launch counts decreases decreases. In order to prevent this from overflowing at a rapid pace, the sorting winning opening unit 2150 having a structure for effectively preventing the game ball from being knocked down will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Describe.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 197, the sorting winning opening unit 2150 is provided on the game board 5, and the sorting winning opening unit 2150 is received at the lower part inside the sorting winning opening unit 2150. A plurality of detection means (such as a photo sensor) capable of detecting the game ball are provided. A plurality of detection means are provided inward of the first start opening 2002 on the left side in a front view at the lower part inside the sorting winning opening unit 2150 and inward of the second start opening 2004 on the right side in front view. The first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 can be won even in the normal gaming state which is not a time saving state or a probability fluctuation state, for example, and the fluctuation triggered by entering the second starting opening 2004 is When the jackpot is achieved, the profit given to the player is higher than when the fluctuation triggered by entering the first starting opening 2002 becomes the jackpot.
In this example, a sorting device 2160 that distributes game balls alternately to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 vertically above the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 in the allocating winning opening unit 2150. Is provided. The sorting device 2160 vertically opens the sorting reception port 2151 to which game balls flowing down the game area 1100 can enter. The distribution receiving port 2151 has a width slightly larger than the diameter of the gaming ball, and the gaming ball guided to the distribution receiving port 2151 always falls toward the distribution device 2160. ing.

  This distribution device 2160 is composed of a reverse T-shaped member constituted by a bottom plate 2160a and a distribution plate 2160b standing at a right angle from the longitudinal center of the bottom plate 2160a, and a line is separated from the distribution plate 2160b It is configured symmetrically. The sorting device 2160 is swingably attached to the sorting winning hole unit 2150 at a swing fulcrum 2160 c where the bottom plate 2160 a and the sorting plate 2160 b intersect.

  The bottom plate 2160a is normally stationary in a state in which the lower right end portion of the bottom plate 2160a is in contact with the stopper 2153 as shown in FIG. 198 (a), or is pivoted counterclockwise from the illustrated state. The lower end of the bottom end of the bottom plate 2160 a comes to rest in a state of being in contact with the stopper 2152. In such a stationary state, the right receiving portion 2160e of the sorting device 2160, which is sectioned in the clockwise direction more than the sorting plate 2160b, or the sectioned formation in the counterclockwise direction in the figure, than the sorting plate 2160b. One of the left receiving portions 2160 d of the distribution device 2160 faces the distribution receiving port 2151.

  According to the sorting apparatus 2160 having the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 198 (a), with the left receiving portion 2160d standing still facing the sorting reception slot 2151, the gaming ball is in the sorting reception slot When entering 2151, the gaming ball falls to the left receiving portion 2160d, and the weight of the gaming ball causes the sorting device 2160 to swing counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 198 (b). As a result, the gaming ball entering the sorting winning opening unit 2150 from the sorting reception opening 2151 falls within the sorting winning opening unit 2150 toward the first starting opening 2002, and the sorting device 2160 is an anti-clock It pivots in the rotational direction, and the left end lower portion of the bottom plate 2160a comes into contact with the stopper 2152 and stands still.

  Then, when the next game ball enters the distribution reception slot 2151 while the right reception section 2160e faces the distribution reception slot 2151, the game balls fall to the right reception section 2160e this time, The weight of the gaming ball causes the sorting device 2160 to swing clockwise. As a result, the gaming ball that has entered into the sorting winning opening unit 2150 from the sorting reception opening 2151 falls within the sorting winning opening unit 2150 toward the second start opening 2004, and the sorting device 2160 is again , Will be stationary in the illustrated state. As described above, the gaming balls having entered the sorting winning opening unit 2150 are alternately distributed to the second starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 by the distributing device 2160.

  According to the above configuration, conventionally, the maximum number of holding memories is four during normal game, but in the present embodiment, the game ball alternately enters the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004. Because the first special symbol and the second special symbol are stored alternately, and the maximum number of reserved memory is eight (one of the examples), the possibility of overflow is greatly reduced, so it is effective in setting strikes Can be suppressed.

  Further, in this example, the game balls are alternately distributed by dropping the game balls to the freely movable distribution device 2160, but this is a mere example and one having a structure for distributing the game balls If it is, various aspects can be selected. For example, in the above-described configuration, the distribution device 2160 is operated by the weight of the game ball, but a predetermined mode (every predetermined time has elapsed since the power was turned on using an electric drive such as a motor or solenoid) The distribution device 2160 may be operated by the operation of switching the distribution direction, etc.).

  Next, at the time of reservation fulfillment executed when the number of reserved storages of special symbols is satisfied, which relates to the reception of gaming balls to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 provided in the distribution winning opening unit 2150 The effects are described below.

Even in the normal gaming state as in this embodiment, the variation of the special symbol can be suspended eight times (also referred to as eight pending), and even if the risk of overflow is low, eight pending memories are stored. At this point, the player can not hold the game ball temporarily for a while, so that he can make a so-called stop, thereby minimizing useless firing and ineffective start winnings. In some cases, the operating rate of the gaming machine may decrease.
Furthermore, when the game ball is stopped hitting, generally the number of pending memory decreases faster than the number of pending memory is filled again, so the number of pending memory decreases gradually There is a high possibility of In order to suppress this, the game satisfaction is enhanced, and even when the pending storage is satisfied, a pending fulfillment effect for continuing the hitting of the game ball is executed.

[When fulfillment production 1]
As an example of the on-hold sufficiency effect in the present embodiment, “on-fulfillment effect 1” will be described below using FIG. 199. FIG. 199 is a diagram showing a series of flows indicating the degree of expectation regarding the special symbol being changed by the reserving and fulfilling effect.
In the present embodiment, the fulfillment effect 1 includes the fulfillment effect 1A, the fulfillment effect 1B, and the fulfillment effect 1C, and FIGS. 199 (1a) to (1b) indicate the fulfillment effect 1A, FIG. 199 (2a) to (2b) are the fulfillment effect 1B, and (3a) to (3b) are the fulfillment effect 1C.

In "fulfillment effect 1" which is an example of the fulfillment fulfillment effect in the present embodiment, the special symbol being changed at the satisfied stage triggered by satisfaction of the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol A presentation is performed that indicates the degree of expectation regarding the jackpot pertaining to. Specifically, the periphery control unit 1511 in the periphery control board 1510 acquires the random number for fulfillment effect at the time of satisfaction of the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol being satisfied, and the acquired satisfaction time It is determined which of the winning values divided into each of a plurality of types of pending fulfillment effects specified in the pending fulfillment immediate effect pattern table described later, the determination result indicates that the determination result is “the fulfillment effect 1A , 1B, and 1C are executed, and any fulfillment effect 1 is executed based on the coinciding value. As shown in FIGS. 199 (1a) to (1 b) as fulfillment effect 1, when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, the ladybug on the lower right portion of the game board side effect display device 1600 A mini character image imitating the appears, and at the same time, a “Reserved Full! Super Hot!” Message is also displayed, which indicates the expected drop of the special symbol that is changing.
Subsequently, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the winning result is derived and displayed.

  As described above, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are executed by executing the suggestion of the degree of expectation regarding the special symbol that is currently changing, triggered by the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol being satisfied. If the number of reserved memories of the special symbol is satisfied, it can be felt that the degree of expectation for the jackpot may be high, and the game ball can be kept shooting to try to hold eight pieces again. As a result, the operating rate of the pachinko machine 1 can be increased, and at the same time, it is possible to increase the fun of the game.

  Also, as illustrated, it is preferable to prepare a wide variety of patterns as the fulfillment effect 1, for example, changing the content of the effect depending on whether the lottery result of the special symbol that is fluctuating is a big hit or not, It is also possible to indicate to the player a degree of anticipation regarding a hit to some extent. In the present embodiment, as shown in the drawing, the contents of the displayed message are different in the three types of fulfillment effects 1, and in the fulfillment effect 1A, that the pending storage is satisfied and the expectation for the jackpot is A message (High expectation degree effect) is displayed, which indicates that the amount is high, and the expectation for the jackpot is satisfied, and the degree of expectation for the jackpot is 1 time for the hold condition. A message (low expectation degree effect) is displayed, suggesting that it is lower than lower, and in the fulfillment stage 1C, regardless of the high or low expectation for the jackpot, only the fact that the retention memory is satisfied A message (presence degree unknown production) is displayed to indicate "Reserve full! Thank you!"

  Further, in the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the present embodiment, the profit given to the player when the jackpot is achieved is different. Specifically, as compared with the case where the change of the first special symbol triggered by entering the first start opening 2002 becomes a big hit, the second triggered by entering the second start opening 2004 (Ii) If the variation in the special symbol is a big hit, the profit obtained by the player is larger, and as the contents of the profit, the number of repetitions of the opening and closing pattern of the big winning opening 2005 (“big hit”) The number of rounds) may be greater when the second special symbol is a big hit, or it may be a probability fluctuation state after the big hit.

  In addition, by adopting the pachinko machine 1 equipped with the distribution winning prize unit 2150 as in the present embodiment, in the gaming machine in which the profit given to the player when the jackpot becomes a big hit depending on the type of special symbol is biased. The player can be given the opportunity to be able to receive a big hit lottery, but for the player, it is not the change of the first special symbol because it is ideal that the profit given when the big hit is high Since the player who wins the game with a special character fluctuation is a big win, the improvement of the game interest when making a contribution is large.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a different presentation from "Satisfaction stage 1" which indicates the expectation for the jackpot of the special symbol changing when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied. As an example, the type of special symbol (whether it is the first special symbol or the second special symbol) changing when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied is given to the player It is possible to execute the "at the time of fulfillment 2" which is suggested. In the present embodiment, as the fulfillment effect 2, the fulfillment effect 2A, the fulfillment effect 2B, the fulfillment effect 2C, and the fulfillment effect 2D are provided. Specifically, the peripheral control board 1510 acquires the random number for fulfillment effect upon satisfaction of the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol being satisfied, and the acquired random number for effect upon satisfaction is It is determined which of the winning values divided into each of a plurality of types of suspension fulfillment effects specified in the suspension fulfillment effect pattern pattern table described later matches, and the determination result is “in fulfillment effect 2A, 2B, 2C Any fulfillment effect 2 is executed based on the match with the winning value. The contents of the fulfillment effect 2 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

  In the present embodiment, FIGS. 200 (1a) to (1b) show the flow in which the fulfillment effect 2A is executed which suggests that the first special symbol is in motion, and FIGS. 200 (2a) to (2b) These are figures which show the flow by which the time of fulfillment effect 2B which alert | reports that the 1st special symbol is changing is performed. Figures 200 (3a) to (3b) show the flow when the fulfillment effect 2C is executed that suggests that the second special symbol is in motion, and figures 200 (4a) to (4b) show the second special scheme. It is a figure which shows the flow in which the time of fulfillment effect 2D which alert | reports that a symbol is changing is performed.

  As shown in FIGS. 200 (1a) to (1b), when the fulfillment number 2 of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, the waiting time effect 2A fills the lower right portion of the game board side effect display device 1600 with a ladybug. The imitation mini character image appears, and at the same time, a halfway message of "first special symbol variation ..." is displayed in advance, and after a predetermined condition is established (for example, after one second), "first special symbol variation ... Is displayed, suggesting that the changing special symbol may be the first special symbol (may be the second special symbol). Next, the mini character image and the message are not displayed, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the winning result is derived and displayed.

  As shown in FIGS. 200 (2a) to (2b), the fulfillment effect 2B has a ladybug in the lower right part of the game board side effect display device 1600 when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied. The imitation mini character image appears, and at the same time, a halfway message of "first special symbol variation ..." is displayed in advance, and after a predetermined condition is established (for example, after one second), "first special symbol variation ... The entire message "confirmed!" Is displayed, suggesting that the changing special symbol is the first special symbol (no possibility of being the second special symbol). Next, the mini character image and the message are not displayed, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the winning result is derived and displayed.

  As shown in FIGS. 200 (3a) to (3b), when the fulfillment number 2D of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, the waiting time effect 2C fills the lower right portion of the game board side effect display device 1600 with a ladybug. The imitation mini character image appears, and at the same time, a halfway message "second special symbol variation ..." is displayed in advance, and after a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, after 1 second), "second special symbol variation ... Is displayed, suggesting that the changing special symbol may be the second special symbol (may be the first special symbol). Next, the mini character image and the message are not displayed, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the winning result is derived and displayed.

  As shown in FIGS. 200 (4a) to (4b), when the fulfillment number of first special symbol and second special symbol is satisfied, the waiting time effect 2D is filled with a ladybug in the lower right portion of the game board side effect display device 1600. The imitation mini character image appears, and at the same time, a halfway message "second special symbol variation ..." is displayed in advance, and after a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, after 1 second), "second special symbol variation ... The entire message "confirmed!" Is displayed to indicate that the changing special symbol is the second special symbol (there is no possibility of being the first special symbol). Next, the mini character image and the message are not displayed, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the winning result is derived and displayed.

  In addition, as the fulfillment time effect 2 to be executed, the first special symbol is executed during the change because the lottery result of the special symbol being changed does not contradict the contents of the displayed message image. In the case, it is suggested that "at the time of fulfillment effect 2A" indicating that there is a possibility of being the first special symbol, "at the time of fulfillment effect 2B" notifying that it is the first special symbol, and the possibility of being the second special symbol. It is supposed that "full effect 2C" which suggests that there is a certain thing is mainly performed. In addition, when the second special symbol is executed during the change, it is informed that there is a possibility that it is the second special symbol, "at the time of fulfillment 2B" which suggests that it may be the first special symbol. "The fulfillment effect 2C" to be performed and "the fulfillment effect 2D" notifying that it is the second special symbol are mainly executed.

Thus, in the fulfillment effect 2 in the present embodiment, it is suggested or notified before the lottery result is derived whether the special symbol in change is the first special symbol or the second special symbol. As a result, since the player can know the benefit to be obtained if the jackpot is realized before the jackpot result is actually derived, which kind of special symbol is used to You can eliminate unreliable feelings of mistrust and enjoy playing with confidence.
In addition, only execution of fulfillment effect 2 only suggests or informs whether the special symbol changing is the first special symbol or the second special symbol, but the special symbol during the change By performing simultaneously with the effect pertaining to, for example, when the effect with a high degree of expectation for the jackpot is being executed, as the fulfillment effect 2, the information that the special symbol fluctuating is the second special symbol By executing the time effect 2D, the player can associate two effects and recall that the second special symbol may become a big hit, thus increasing the sense of expectation for the effect and improving the interest for the game. be able to.
Furthermore, since the fulfillment time effect 2 of this embodiment is a stage progress effect where all messages are displayed after displaying the halfway message, the player feels tense or not while changing from the halfway message to all messages. A sense of expectation can be given, and as described above, it is possible to further improve the interest such as when an effect with a high degree of expectation for a big hit is being performed.

  In addition, when the fulfillment effect 2 is executed, an effect of operating the operation button 410 may be performed. At the same time when the halfway message is displayed, a predetermined image instructing the operation button 410 to perform the operation within the time limit is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 to obtain the operation by the player, and the operation button A sense of tension is caused by the fact that the predetermined image instructing the operation button 410 to perform the operation within the time limit becomes non-displayed and changes from the halfway message to the entire message when the 410 is operated. It is possible to give a sense of expectation and the like, and to further improve the interest when, for example, an effect with a high degree of expectation for a big hit is performed as described above.

  In addition, when performing effects for operating the operation button 410, it is necessary to prepare the time necessary for the player to operate the operation button 410, and in the effects relating to special symbols that are changing, the operation button 410 Since it is necessary that the effect to be operated is not being executed, whether or not to be executed is determined in accordance with the remaining time of the special symbol variation currently being executed and the gaming state. Specifically, the peripheral control portion 1511 in the peripheral control board 1510 refers to the information on the fluctuation time, the information on the fluctuation pattern, etc. when the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied. , “How long is the remaining fluctuation time?” “Which effect is being executed” is specified, and whether the specified situation enables the fulfillment effect 2 for operating the operation button 410 to be executed or not judge. Then, when the specified situation can not secure the time for operating the operation button 410 or the effect of operating the operation button 410 is being performed in the effect relating to the special symbol that is changing, the operation button It is configured not to perform the fulfillment effect 2 to operate 410.

  It should be noted that even if the fulfillment effect 2 for operating the operation button 410 is executed, some players may not operate the operation button 410 within the time limit. In this case, a predetermined image instructing the operation button 410 to perform an operation within the time limit may be hidden and the midway message may be changed to all messages after the time limit is reached. Alternatively, the message may be displayed in the middle of the message without changing to the entire message, and the player may not be notified or suggested of the type of the special symbol currently being changed. In the present embodiment, as a time limit for recognizing an operation on the operation button 410, a timing (an example out of a number) in which the variation time of the special symbol during variation becomes the remaining time 3 seconds.

  Note that the fulfillment time effect 2 of the present embodiment restricts the execution according to the progress status of the game. This is because the following problems may occur. For example, as described above, in the case of displaying a halfway message and then displaying all messages, etc., it takes a predetermined time to display all messages after the halfway message is displayed. There is a risk that the variation display of the special symbol is ended in time and the variation display of the new special symbol is started. In this case, there is a risk that a contradiction will occur in the content of the message, and the interest of the player may be reduced. In addition, when a presentation with a high degree of expectation for the jackpot is being performed, the fulfillment effect 2B is performed, and a message indicating that the variation of the first special symbol is determined is displayed, the production with a high degree of expectation Despite being executed, it causes the player to notice that it is the fluctuation of the first special symbol with little profit, and not only impairs the fun of the production but also the player's There is a risk that the sense of satisfaction may be reduced.

  In order to solve these problems, in the present embodiment, when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, the execution of fulfillment effect 2 is limited according to the progress of the game. . Specifically, the peripheral control portion 1511 in the peripheral control board 1510 refers to the information on the fluctuation time, the information on the fluctuation pattern, etc. when the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied. , “How much remaining fluctuation time is” and “which presentation is being performed”, and it is determined whether the specified situation is included in a predetermined restriction condition. Then, when the specified situation is included in the predetermined restriction condition, the fulfillment effect 2 is not performed even if the fulfillment effect 2 is selected by the determination using the fulfillment effect random number.

  Among the limitation conditions of the present embodiment, "the remaining fluctuation time is 3 seconds or more (an example out of many)" is set as the first limitation condition. In addition, as the second limitation condition, “being in the midst of performing an effect with a high degree of expectation for the jackpot” is set. As the limitation of fulfillment effect 2 based on the first limitation condition, it is considered as "all limitations of fulfillment effect 2A-2D", for example, when the remaining fluctuation time of the special symbol during fluctuation is 3 seconds or less Or, when the set fluctuation time is 3 seconds or less, the fulfillment effect 2 is not executed. In addition, as the limitation of the fulfillment effect 2 based on the second limit condition, "limit of only the fulfillment effect 2B" is used. About "a production with a high degree of expectation for a jackpot", a plurality of predetermined performances (for example, a preview production, a pseudo-series production, a reach production, etc.) selected at the time of game design correspond. In addition, as a method of advancing the game progress without performing the fulfillment effect 2, "discarding the determination result using the fulfillment effect random number and executing another fulfillment effect determined in advance", or fulfillment It is possible to repeat the acquisition and determination of the random number for fulfillment time effect until the fulfillment time random number corresponding to the fulfillment time effect other than the time effect 2B is acquired.

  Here, the details of “discarding the determination result using the random number for fulfillment time effect and executing another predetermined fulfillment time effect” will be described. In the present embodiment, when execution of the fulfillment effect 2 is limited, instead of the fulfillment effect 2, it does not indicate which special symbol is fluctuating, and does not indicate the degree of expectation regarding the drop. "Time effect 3" is to be performed. In the present embodiment, as the fulfillment effect 3, the fulfillment effect 3A, the fulfillment effect 3B, and the fulfillment effect 3C are provided. In addition, fulfillment effect 3 was satisfied not only as a substitute for fulfillment effect 2 but also when the fulfillment effects 1 and 2 were selected, the number of reserved memories for the first special symbol and the second special symbol was satisfied It is also executed with a chance. Specifically, the periphery control unit 1511 in the periphery control board 1510 acquires the random number for fulfillment effect at the time of satisfaction of the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol being satisfied, and the acquired satisfaction time It is determined which of the winning values divided into each of a plurality of types of suspension fulfillment effects specified in the suspension fulfillment effect pattern pattern table described later, the determination result indicates that the determination result is “in fulfillment effect 3A , 3B, and 3C, and executes any fulfillment effect 3 based on the coinciding value. On the other hand, when the fulfillment effect 3 is executed instead of the fulfillment effect 2, the fulfillment effect 3C is always executed. The contents of the fulfillment effect 3 will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 201 is a diagram showing a series of flow of fortunetelling effects which is an example of effect of fulfillment effect 3 which does not indicate which special symbol is changing, and does not indicate the degree of expectation regarding the drop, and FIG. 201 (1a )-(1c) shows the flow in which the fulfillment effect 3A is executed in which "Daikichi" is selected as a result of fortune-telling, and in Fig. 201 (2a)-(2c), "good" is selected as a result of fortune-telling FIG. 201 (3 a) to (3 c) show the flow in which the fulfillment effect 3 C in which “bad” is selected as a result of the fortune is executed. is there.

  As shown in FIGS. 201 (1a) to (1b), the fulfillment effect 3A, when the special symbol is changing, if the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, the game board side A mini character image imitating ladybird and a message indicating that a fortune telling effect is to be displayed are displayed in the lower right portion of the effect display device 1600, and a fortune telling that any one of three types of "Daikichi", "Yoshi" and "Sadness" is selected Perform the production. The displayed "Daikichi", "Yoshi", and "Famish" are displayed brightly in order, and after the operation button 410 is operated by the player, finally displayed brightly as shown in FIG. 201 (1c). A message is displayed informing that the fortune shown in the section is selected and "Daikichi" is selected. Finally, the mini character image and the message are not displayed, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the win result is derived and displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 201 (2a) to (2b), when the special symbol changes, if the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, the game board side is displayed. A mini character image imitating ladybird and a message indicating that a fortune telling effect is to be displayed are displayed in the lower right portion of the effect display device 1600, and a fortune telling that any one of three types of "Daikichi", "Yoshi" and "Sadness" is selected Perform the production. The displayed "Daikichi", "Yoshi", and "Famish" are displayed brightly in order, and after the operation button 410 is operated by the player, finally displayed brightly as shown in FIG. 201 (2c). A fortune indicated in the section is selected, and a message notifying that "Yoshi" is selected is displayed. Finally, the mini character image and the message are not displayed, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the win result is derived and displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 201 (3a) to (3b), when the special symbol is changing, if the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, the game board side is displayed. A mini character image imitating ladybird and a message indicating that a fortune telling effect is to be displayed are displayed in the lower right portion of the effect display device 1600, and a fortune telling that any one of three types of "Daikichi", "Yoshi" and "Sadness" is selected Perform the production. The displayed "Daikichi", "Yoshi", and "Famish" are displayed brightly in order, and after the operation button 410 is operated by the player, the display is finally brightened as shown in FIG. 201 (3c). A message is displayed informing that the fortune shown in the place is selected, and "bad" is selected. Finally, the mini character image and the message are not displayed, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the win result is derived and displayed.

  As described above, the fulfillment effect 3 does not indicate which special symbol is changing, and the fulfillment effect 3 that does not indicate the degree of expectation regarding the drop is performed, so the fulfillment effect 1 and 2 are satisfied. Since the player is not discouraged before the lottery result is derived because it is less likely to be associated with the fall related to the special symbol that is changing, as compared to the case of Can.

  Moreover, although the example which performs a divination production as a fulfillment effect 3 when limiting execution of the fulfillment effect 2 is given in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fulfillment does not indicate an expectation degree regarding a loss If it is a time effect, another effect may be executed.

  Also, as the restriction condition, various conditions may be set in accordance with the game situation or the like to be restricted, not limited to those described above.

  In addition, as a kind of message, it is possible to display not only what was shown in figure but various messages, for example, in fulfillment time production 1, whether a game state or the first special symbol is changing, the first The contents of the message may be changed depending on whether or not the special symbol is changing.

  In addition to changing the content of the message, the design of the mini character image or the balloon of the message may be other than that illustrated, for example, a symbol other than a so-called character such as a star or a circle other than an image imitating ladybird Various aspects such as using marks, displaying effect images such as concentrated lines around mini character images, making the pattern of the balloon jagged and adding power, and making the reserved image different from the usual display etc. It shall be selectable.

  In addition, it may be possible to make a suggestion for the jackpot by the color of the message, the effect image, and the pattern of the balloon, for example, the higher the expectation to the jackpot, the more the effect image is displayed and the balloon pattern becomes jagged. Not only mere decoration by improving the decorativeness than when the expectation to the jackpot is low, such as when the color of the message is displayed as “red”, where the color of the message is usually “black”. Since the variation of the suggestion of the degree of expectation regarding the jackpot performed for the player increases, it is possible to make the player feel comfortable and to improve the interest in the game.

  Although the effect of being held at fulfillment fulfillment in the present embodiment is described as being executed by the image mode displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600, in addition to this, the movable role is displayed during the fluctuation display of the effect pattern. You may include effects such as operating, emitting light such as a lamp, outputting sound from various speakers, or operating a movable part, a lamp, various speakers, etc. alone. .

[Pay-as-you-go effect pattern table]
In this embodiment, when the first special symbol and the second special symbol are satisfied, the peripheral control board 1510 is triggered by the peripheral control unit 1511 to execute it by the random number for fulfillment at random. In order to determine the type of the game, the above-mentioned hold / fill time effect pattern table is provided. A plurality of types of storage patterns are stored in a predetermined storage area of the peripheral control board 1510 so as to use different suspension fulfillment effect patterns depending on the type of special symbol in change and the result of the win determination. These will be described below with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 202 (A) is a diagram showing a pattern table of a fulfillment-at-hold effect executed when the special symbol during variation is the first special symbol and the lottery result is a big hit, and FIG. 202 (B) is a diagram It is a figure which shows the pattern table of an effect at the time of reservation with fulfillment performed when the special symbol in fluctuation is the first special symbol and the lottery result is out.
FIG. 203 (A) is a diagram showing a pattern table of a reservation with fulfillment effect when the special symbol in change is the second special symbol and the lottery result is a jackpot, and FIG. 203 (B) is a pattern table. It is a figure which shows the pattern table of an effect at the time of reservation with fulfillment performed when the special symbol in fluctuation is the second special symbol and the lottery result is out.

  As shown in FIGS. 202 to 203, in the present embodiment, there are three types of A, B, and C patterns (one example out of a number) for each type of effect at the time of suspension and fulfillment, and "big hit expectation" The expectation for the jackpot suggested to the player is made to differ depending on the selected presentation at the time of hold.

Specifically, when the special symbol changing when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied is the first special symbol, the reservation is satisfied from FIG. 202 (A) or (B). The pattern of the hourly effect is selected. When the lottery result of the first special symbol is a big hit, the pattern of effect at the time of holding fulfillment is selected from FIG. 202 (A), and when it is out, it is selected from FIG. 202 (B).
In addition, when the special symbol that is changing when the number of reserved memory of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied is the second special symbol, the effect at the time of reservation fulfillment from Figure 203 (A) or (B) The pattern of is selected. If the lottery result of the second special symbol is a big hit, the pattern of the effect on hold and fulfillment is selected from FIG. 203 (A), and if it is not, it is selected from FIG. 203 (B).

In each pattern table, "high", "medium" and "low" are assigned as the expectation, and "high" is the highest expectation and "low" is the lowest. Note that this does not indicate the degree of expectation for the actual jackpot, but it is the degree of expectation suggested to the player in the effect relating to the special symbol during fluctuation. When the degree of expectation is "high", the degree of expectation for the jackpot such as the character color of the above-mentioned message becomes a color different from the color usually displayed, or the effect image is displayed around the mini character image May indicate that is high.
In addition, the “selection rate” in the rightmost column of each table corresponds to the distribution of the winning value of the random number for fulfillment time presentation. When the fulfillment fulfillment effect is executed, if the lottery result of the special symbol during the change is a big hit, the probability that the pattern to which the expectation "high" is assigned is selected is high, and the other is during the change When the lottery result of the special symbol is out, there is a high probability that the pattern to which the expectation "low" is assigned is selected.

  In addition, about the fulfillment effects 3A to 3C, as described above, it does not indicate which special symbol is changing, but it is to perform the effect not involved in the drop, and the lottery result of the special symbol during the change Because it is executed without, "-" which does not show the degree of expectation is assigned.

  In addition, the first special symbol is executed during the pending fulfillment when the second special symbol is executed while the second special symbol is being executed during the pending fulfillment when the second special symbol is executed during the fulfillment when the first special symbol is executed. Since “2B” is not executed respectively, there is no contradiction between the fulfillment-at-hold effect and the special symbol that is actually fluctuating, preventing the player from giving a sense of distrust, and We are suppressing the decline in gaming entertainment.

[Restriction of continuous production]
In the present embodiment, the pending fulfillment effect is executed when the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, and the player confirms the pending fulfillment effect. By doing this, it is possible to obtain the merit of being able to know the current gaming state and the degree of expectation to the jackpot of the special symbol during fluctuation, so to keep the game ball hit continuously to fulfill the suspension positively. Is possible. However, even if there are effects such as those described above, if the same process is executed continuously for the hold sufficiency effect, the player will eventually get bored. In view of this, in order to prevent the boredom of the on-time fulfillment effect, it is intended to limit the execution of the same on-time fulfillment effect in succession.

  Specifically, as the fulfillment-on-hold effect executed when the lottery result of the second special symbol in fluctuation is out, the fulfillment-time effects 1A to 1C and the fulfillment-time effects 2A to 2D shown in FIG. 203 (B) Among them, it is assumed that fulfillment effect 2A is executed. In that case, the execution of the fulfillment effect 2A is stored in a predetermined storage area of the peripheral control board 1510, and then the hold storage is satisfied again, and the fulfillment effect 2A is again determined by using the fulfillment effect random number. When it is selected, it matches with the stored fulfillment effect, so that the same fulfillment effect 2A as the previous one is not executed. Here, as a method of advancing the game progress without performing the same fulfillment effect, “discard the determination result using the fulfillment effect random number and execute another fulfillment effect different from the previous time”, It is possible to repeat the acquisition and determination of the random number for fulfillment time effect until the random number for fulfillment time effect corresponding to the other fulfillment time effect other than the fulfillment time effect the same as the previous time is acquired. This point can also be considered as one of the aforementioned limiting conditions (third limiting condition).

By the way, depending on the player, when the effect that was seen before is selected and executed again from among the numerous pending fulfillment effects, even if it is not the effect pattern of the pending fulfillment effects selected immediately before, Since it is not possible to feel the fresh taste in the contents of the effect, there is a risk that it is likely that there will be only a few patterns for the effect on hold and fulfillment, which may lower the interest in the game. . In order to solve this, in addition to not selecting and executing the effect of the same pattern as the pending fulfillment effect executed immediately before, also limiting the pending fulfillment effect once selected and executed not to be executed again It is good.
Besides, for example, when one of the patterns of fulfillment-time effect 1 is executed, a pattern other than the fulfillment-time effect 1 may be selected as the pending fulfillment-time effect to be executed next time.

Further, in the present embodiment, the restriction for preventing the same fulfillment fulfillment effect from being performed again is canceled when the cancellation condition is satisfied. The establishment of the cancellation condition in the present embodiment is a cancellation condition in which a demonstration by the gaming board side effect display device 1600 is started in the customer waiting state, and the satisfaction of the cancellation condition results in the peripheral control board 1510 being selected. It is assumed that the data of the previous pending fulfillment effect stored in the predetermined storage area is cleared.
The fact that the demonstration has been executed means that the player has not started the game for a certain period of time, so the player who is different from the player who watched the pending fulfillment effect has already been executed. Since the possibility of starting the game is high, it is possible to eliminate the above-mentioned factor that reduces the game interest.

  It should be noted that the establishment of the cancellation condition is not limited to the above-mentioned waiting for customers and the demonstration by the game board side effect display device 1600 being started, for example, the lottery result of the special symbol becomes a big hit Or when a predetermined time has passed (for example, 30 minutes) after the effect pattern of the selected-on-hold fulfillment effect is executed, or when the return button 329 for returning cash or a prepaid card is operated Or, when the number of times of variation of the special symbol has become equal to or more than a predetermined number, it may be a predetermined trigger, and various modes can be selected.

[Story type hold fulfillment production]
In addition, the effect mode between the pending fulfillment effect executed immediately before and the pending fulfillment effect executed next may be regarded as having continuity. For example, this will be described below with reference to FIG.
FIG. 204 is a diagram showing an example of a series of flows in a continuity with fulfillment fulfillment-time effect (hereinafter, referred to as a story-type withdrawal fulfillment effect).

Specifically, the periphery control unit 1911 in the periphery control board 1510 acquires the random number for fulfillment effect at the time of satisfaction of the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol being satisfied, and the acquired fulfillment time It is determined which of the winning values divided into each of a plurality of types of suspension fulfillment effects specified in the suspension fulfillment effect pattern pattern table described later, and the determination result is not shown “Story type not shown The story-type on-demand fulfillment is executed based on matching on on-demand fulfillment.
As shown in FIG. 204 (a) to (b), when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied while the special symbol is changing, the right of the game board side effect display device 1600 A mini character image imitating ladybird and a message indicating that a fortune telling effect is to be displayed are displayed in the lower part, and a fortune telling effect to select one of four colors of "red", "blue", "yellow" and "green" is executed. . The displayed “Red”, “Blue”, “Yellow”, and “Green” are displayed brightly in order, and when the operation button 410 is operated, the color shown in the brightly displayed area is selected. . In addition, in the on-hold fulfillment-time effect (the first half of the story type on-off fulfillment effect) executed at this time, the result of the fortune-telling is not shown.
Next, the mini character image and the message are not displayed, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the winning result is derived and displayed.

Then, it is stored that the first half of the story type suspension fulfillment effect is executed in a predetermined storage area of the peripheral control board 1510, and thereafter, the story type fulfillment which has been stored when the suspension storage is again fulfilled. The second half of the story type fulfillment time effect, which is the continuation of the first half of the time effect, is to be executed. As shown in FIG. 204 (d) to (e), when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied while the special symbol is changing, the right of the game board side effect display device 1600 A message and an image are displayed in the lower part, showing a mini character image imitating a ladybird, a continuation of the story type hold fulfillment effect executed immediately before, and a color selected by the player, “red” “blue” “ The fortunes of each of the four colors "yellow" and "green" are displayed (the second half of the story-type hold fulfillment effect).
Next, the mini character image and the message are not displayed, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the winning result is derived and displayed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, by performing the story-type suspension fulfillment effect performed across variations of a plurality of special symbols, the player can perform one of a series of effect modes in one suspension fulfillment effect. Since only a part (the first half of the story-type suspension fulfillment effect) can be watched, the game interest is improved by inspiring interest in the second-half presentation mode of the subsequent story-type suspension satisfaction effect, and the retention memory is again performed. It is possible to keep hitting the game ball in order to fill it.

  In addition, although the result of divination production in the story type reservation fulfillment production may associate the color and fortune at the time of starting the production, in addition, the height of the expectation for the jackpot and the special symbol during fluctuation For example, when "red" is selected by the player, the fortune telling effect is good despite the fact that the lottery result of the special symbol which is in the process of variation is out. When “Daikichi” indicating “” is displayed, the displayed fortune and the lottery result of the special symbol are not balanced, and there is a possibility that the player may be distrusted. For the purpose of preventing this, no matter what color is selected by the player, if the lottery result of the special symbol in fluctuation is a big hit, “Okichi” is displayed, and the lottery result of the special symbol in fluctuation is not In this case, "bad" may be displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the story type suspension fulfillment effect, the effect aspect that takes the player's fortune has been mentioned as an example, but it is not limited to this but it is not limited to this. Various modes can be selected as long as the effect is performed. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect at the time of suspension and fulfillment is executed over the variation of the special symbol twice, but may be executed over the variation of the special symbol three or more times.

  In addition, in the case of performing the presentation when the story type reservation is satisfied, the player is left before all the series of stories are executed, and then another player may start playing the game, or the time from the story executed last time If there is a situation in which there is a long idle situation, a player who does not know the relation with the story executed last time, or if there is a long time because there is a continuation of the story type hold fulfillment effect When a player or the like who has forgotten due to having seen it sees, it may not be able to enjoy the presentation mode, so in this embodiment, even before the series of stories are all executed, with a predetermined timing. It is configured so as not to perform the subsequent story rendition. The predetermined trigger in the present embodiment is a cancellation condition in which a demonstration by the gaming board side effect display device 1600 is started in the customer waiting state, and the predetermined condition for the peripheral control board 1510 is satisfied when the cancellation condition is satisfied. It is decided to clear the data of the previous story type hold fulfillment effect stored in the storage area of. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the above-described factor that reduces the interest in gaming.

  In addition, as a predetermined | prescribed opportunity, it is not limited to the period which is in the customer waiting state mentioned above and is performing the demonstration by the game board side effect display apparatus 1600, for example, the lottery result of a special symbol became a big hit When a predetermined time has passed (for example, 30 minutes) since the time or when the effect pattern of the selection-executed pending fulfillment effect has been executed (for example, 30 minutes), or when the return button 329 for returning cash or a prepaid card is operated Also, it may be a predetermined trigger when the number of times the variation of the special symbol has become a predetermined number or more, etc., and the previous story type reservation fulfillment stored in the predetermined storage area of the peripheral control board 1510 by the release condition being satisfied. It is designed to clear the data of the hourly effects.

  By the way, when the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied and the effect is selected and executed at the time of pending fulfillment, depending on the remaining time of the special symbol variation being executed, the operating status of the movable role, etc. Is the change of the special symbol is finished before the completion of the hold fulfillment effect, or while executing the effect that the movable role is driven, the hold fulfillment effect to drive the movable role is It may be selected and the movable part may not be properly driven. In order to prevent this, in the present embodiment, when the peripheral control unit 1511 in the peripheral control board 1510 satisfies the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, information on fluctuation time, information on fluctuation pattern, etc. With reference to, when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, it is selected and executed depending on the remaining time of the special symbol variation being executed at that time, the operating status of the movable character, etc. The contents of the presentation at the time of the reservation on hold are different.

  In the present embodiment, the fluctuation time of the special symbol is divided into the first half of the fluctuation, the second half of the fluctuation, and immediately before the end of the fluctuation. As an example, when the variation time of the special symbol is 20 seconds in total, 9 seconds from immediately after the start of variation is explained as the first half of the fluctuation, 9 seconds after that is taken as the second half of the fluctuation, and the remaining 2 seconds are just before the end of the fluctuation. This is only an example and there is no limitation. Details will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 205 is a diagram showing a pending fulfillment-time effect which is executable and a pending fulfillment-time effect which is not executed depending on the remaining time of the special symbol variation. "O" indicates that it is feasible, and "x" indicates that it is not implemented.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 205, the first half of non-operation non-operating condition is a state where the movable character is not operating during the production according to the special symbol variation in the first half of the variation, State of the movable character is operating during the effect according to, the second half of the character non-operation of the fluctuation is during the second half of the fluctuation during the effect of the special symbol fluctuation, the state of the movable character is not operating, during the second half of the character movement In the second half of the fluctuation, the movable character is in operation during the production of the special symbol fluctuation, immediately before the end of the fluctuation, immediately before the fluctuation of the special symbol is ended regardless of whether the movable character is in operation or not in operation. The state (for example, 2 seconds ago) is shown, and the above-mentioned state is assigned to each pending fulfillment effect.

  As shown in FIG. 205, “Satisfaction effect 1”, “Satisfaction effect 2”, and “Satisfaction effect 3” are executed regardless of whether the movable role is in operation or not in operation, and it is just before the end of fluctuation. Only if it is not run.

  The effect of “permanent fulfillment time effect (sound and lamp)” for executing effects that the peripheral control unit 1511 in the peripheral control board 1510 outputs sound from various speakers and causes light emitters such as lamps to emit light, the above state is not Even in the case of the above, it is possible to execute regardless of the case, and it may be performed at the same time as the other presentation on fulfillment.

  The effect of operating the movable combination by the peripheral control unit 1511 in the peripheral control board 1510 "Periods on fulfillment with hold (movable combination)" is the first half or the second half of the change, and the movable combination is driven by another effect It can be executed at the time of not being done, and may be executed simultaneously with other pending fulfillment effects.

  As for “Dealing fulfillment time effect (Holding change)” in which the peripheral control unit 1511 in the peripheral control board 1510 changes the pending image displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600, only the state immediately before the end of the fluctuation can be executed There is. This is to make the fulfillment effects 1 to 3 preferentially executed in the first half of the fluctuation or the second half of the fluctuation in which the fluctuation time of the special symbol still has a margin.

  As described above, as in the present embodiment, the hold fulfillment effect selected and executed by the peripheral control unit 1511 in the peripheral control board 1510 is made different according to the remaining time of fluctuation of the special symbol and the operating condition of the movable role. Because of this, the change of the special symbol is finished before the termination fulfillment effect is over, or the driving of the movable symbol according to the special symbol fluctuation and the operation of the movable contribution according to the suspension feature overlap. It is possible to prevent the problem of

[During pre- fulfillment production]
In addition, in this example, the reserve storage of the first special symbol and the second special symbol besides the reserve fulfillment effect performed upon the satisfaction of the number of reserve storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol being satisfied It is configured to perform a pre-preservation fulfillment effect that is executed when the predetermined number of storage is achieved in a state where the number is not satisfied. This will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 206 is a diagram showing an example of a series of flows in an effect including an effect before pending fulfillment which is performed when seven pending storages are accumulated, which is immediately before the pending storage is satisfied.

As shown in FIG. 206 (a) to (b), when the special symbol is changing, seven pending storages immediately before the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied Is accumulated, a mini character image imitating a ladybird appears in the lower right part of the game board side effect display device 1600, and at the same time, a predetermined message indicating that the hold will be satisfied soon is displayed (pre-show fulfillment effect). Specifically, the periphery control unit 1511 in the periphery control board 1510 acquires the random number for fulfillment effect upon satisfaction as the number of pending storages for the first special symbol and the second special symbol becoming seven, and the acquired satisfaction It is determined which of the winning values divided into each of a plurality of types of suspension fulfillment effects specified in the suspension fulfillment effect pattern table when the random effect for the occasion effect matches, and the determination result is not shown “not available The pre-satisfying pre- fulfillment effect is executed based on the coinciding value of the effect winning value.
Then, as shown in FIG. 206 (c), when the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, a mini character image imitating a ladybird appears in the lower right part of the game board side effect display device 1600, At the same time a message is displayed. This time, as an example, the random number for fulfillment effect is acquired with the opportunity that the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, and the acquired random number for fulfillment effect is for the fulfillment fulfillment effect pattern table It is determined which of the winning values divided into each of the plurality of types of pending fulfillment effects specified in the above match, and the result of the determination matches the "winning value of the fulfillment effect 1B" based on the match. It is performing production 1B.
In addition, simultaneously with the mini character image and the message, for example, the display of the effect image around the mini character image and the "display for fulfillment on hold cessation (hold change)" are executed.
Subsequently, the variation of the rendering pattern is stopped according to the determined variation pattern, and the winning result is derived and displayed.

  As mentioned above, when the pending storage is satisfied by performing an effect as the trigger when the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol becomes seven, which is the previous stage of the pending storage being satisfied. In addition to being able to keep hitting the gaming ball until the player is aware that it is one more step until the pending fulfillment effect to be executed is executed, there are some merits for the player by satisfying the pending memory. Since it is an effect that makes it seem that there is a matter that

  In addition, as described above, although the explanation was made to perform staging before fulfillment fulfillment when the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol became seven, this is not a limitation and the pending storage is sufficient In any case other than the above-described state (the number of holding memories 1 to 7), the effect before holding may be performed at any time.

[Difference on hold reduction]
In addition, in the present embodiment, the next special symbol variation is started after the pending fulfillment effect is executed which is executed when the number of pending storages of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied. Is carried out triggered by a decrease in the number of pending storages stored by the device, and a presentation on hold is performed. This will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 207 is a diagram showing an example of a series of flows in an effect including an effect on hold reduction performed which is triggered by a decrease in the predetermined number of hold storage from the state where the hold storage is satisfied.

Figure 207 (a) ~ (b) When the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, a mini character image imitating a ladybird appears in the lower right part of the game board side effect display device 1600, and at the same time a message The displayed on-hold fulfillment effect is executed. Here, as an example, the random number for fulfillment effect is acquired with the opportunity that the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, and the acquired random number for fulfillment effect at the fulfillment request table It is determined which of the winning values divided into each of the plurality of types of pending fulfillment effects specified in the above match, and the determination result is based on the match with “the winning value of the fulfillment effect 2A”. Performs 2A.
Next, as shown in FIG. 207 (c), the fluctuation of the effect pattern is stopped according to the determined fluctuation pattern, and the winning result is derived and displayed.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 207 (d), the ladybug is held in the lower right portion of the game board side effect display device 1600 in response to a decrease in the pending storage which has been satisfied when the next special symbol variation is started. A simulated mini character image appears, and at the same time a message is displayed prompting you to fulfill the hold again. Specifically, the peripheral control unit 1511 in the peripheral control board 1510 is triggered by the fact that the number of reserved memories for the first special symbol and the second special symbol is 7 (decreased) from being satisfied Obtain the random number for fulfillment effect, and which of the winning values divided into each of the plural types of hold / full fulfillment effects specified in the hold / full fulfillment effect pattern table The determination is performed based on the determination result being in agreement with the "decision value of effect on hold reduction" (not shown).
Then, as shown in FIG. 207 (e), when the pending storage is satisfied again, a mini character image imitating a ladybug appears in the lower right portion of the game board side effect display device 1600, and a message is also displayed simultaneously. The hour effect is executed. Here, as an example, the random number for fulfillment effect is acquired with the opportunity that the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is satisfied, and the acquired random number for fulfillment effect at the fulfillment request table It is determined which of the winning values divided into each of the plurality of types of pending fulfillment effects specified in the above match, and the result of the determination matches the "winning value of the fulfillment effect 1C" based on the match. I have performed a production 1C.
According to the fluctuation pattern finally determined, the fluctuation of the rendering symbol stops, and the winning result is derived and displayed.

  As described above, by executing the on-hold fulfillment effect when the on-hold storage satisfied is reduced, for example, the hit on the gaming ball by the player has stopped once due to the on-hold storage being satisfied. Even if it is possible to start hitting the game ball again by urging the player to satisfy the holding memory again, there is something to be made of merit to the player by the holding being satisfied again. It is possible to improve the interest for the game, thinking that there is no.

  In addition, since the effect for prompting the player to hit the game ball is executed so that the retention memory is satisfied in both of the effect before the hold satisfaction and the effect when the hold decrease, the message of the common contents May be displayed. In this case, as in the case of the fulfillment on hold cessation, when the same effect aspect is continuously executed, the player will eventually get bored. In order to suppress this, it is configured to limit the execution of the same presentation mode (the same message) continuously.

  In the present embodiment, the fulfillment fulfillment time presentation, the hold before fulfillment presentation effect, and the hold down presentation effect are described as being implemented using the sorting winning hole unit 2150, but the invention is not limited thereto. A commonly known conventional starting port of the invention may be used.

  Although the present invention has been described above by way of preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and as described below, various improvements can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. And design changes are possible.

  That is, although the machine applied to the pachinko machine 1 is shown as the gaming machine in the embodiment, the invention is not limited to this, and the invention is applied to a pachislot machine or a game machine formed by fusing a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine. Even in this case, the same function and effect as those of this embodiment can be obtained.
