(Basic explanation)
First, a basic configuration and control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (which is also a configuration and control of a general pachinko gaming machine) will be described.

(Configuration of pachinko machine 1)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 and shows an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (game machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface, and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is launched into a game area from a predetermined hitting device.

  In a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, to the right of the game area), a variable display (also called a special figure game) of special symbols (also called special figures) as a plurality of types of special identification information is provided. A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B to be performed are provided. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbol is represented by a number indicating “0” to “9” or a lighting pattern such as “−”. The special symbol may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off.

  The “variable display” of the special symbol is, for example, to display a plurality of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). Examples of the fluctuation include an update display of a plurality of symbols, a scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, and enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols. In the case of a special symbol or a variation of a normal symbol described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative pattern described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scroll-displayed or updated, or one or more decorative symbols are deformed or enlarged / reduced. Note that the variation includes an aspect in which a certain symbol is blinked. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped as a display result (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) (the same applies to variable display of other symbols described later). Note that variable display may be expressed as variable display or fluctuation.

  The special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as “first special symbol”, and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as “second special symbol”. In addition, the special figure game using the first special figure is referred to as a “first special figure game”, and the special figure game using the second special figure is also referred to as a “second special figure game”. There may be one kind of special symbol display device that performs variable display of special symbols.

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 includes, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and the like, and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

  For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game, decorative symbols (such as symbols indicating numbers) as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special symbols. The variable display is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special game or the second special game, the decorative symbols are variably displayed in the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, up and down) Direction scroll display and update display). Note that the special display game and the variable display of the decorative symbols executed in synchronism are collectively referred to simply as variable display.

  On the screen of the image display device 5, there may be provided a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the variable display for which execution is suspended and an active display corresponding to the variable display being executed. The hold display and the active display are collectively referred to as a variable display compatible display corresponding to the variable display.

  The number of variable displays that are held is also called the number of stored memories. The number of reserved memories corresponding to the first special figure game is also referred to as a first reserved memory number, and the number of reserved memories corresponding to the second special figure game is also referred to as a second reserved memory number. The total of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number is also referred to as the total reserved memory number.

  In addition, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B configured to include a plurality of LEDs are provided at predetermined positions on the game board 2, and the first hold indicator 25A indicates the number of LEDs lit. To display the first reserved memory number, and the second reserved indicator 25B displays the second reserved memory number according to the number of lit LEDs.

  Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

  The winning ball apparatus 6A forms a first start winning opening that is maintained in a certain open state in which a game ball can always enter, for example, by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first start winning opening, a predetermined number of (for example, three) prize balls are paid out and the first special game can be started.

  The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second start winning opening that is changed between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball apparatus 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and when the movable wing piece is in a vertical position when the solenoid 81 is off, the tip of the movable wing piece Is close to the winning ball device 6A, and the game ball enters the closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning port (also referred to as the second starting winning port is closed). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second starting winning opening when the movable blade piece is in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is in the on state (second starting ball). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When a game ball enters the second start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out and the second special game can be started. Note that the variable winning ball device 6B is not limited to the one having an electric tulip type accessory as long as it changes between a closed state and an open state.

  At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four places in the lower left and right sides of the game area), there are provided general winning holes 10 that are always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. In this case, when entering any of the general winning ports 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  Below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the special winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form.

  As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door (for the special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the large winning opening door closes the large winning opening and the game ball is large. You will not be able to enter (pass) the winning entrance. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize opening door is in the ON state, the special prize opening door opens the big prize opening, so that the game ball can easily enter the special prize opening. Become.

  When game balls enter the big prize opening, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. When game balls enter the big prize opening, for example, more prize balls are paid out than when game balls enter the first start prize opening, the second start prize opening, and the general prize opening 10, for example.

  The entry of a game ball into each winning opening including the general winning opening 10 is also referred to as “winning”. In particular, winning at the starting port (first starting winning port, second starting winning port starting port) is also referred to as starting winning.

  A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7-segment LEDs and the like, and variably displays normal symbols as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from the special symbols. A normal symbol is represented by a number indicating “0” to “9” or a lighting pattern such as “−”. The normal symbol may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off. Such variable display of normal symbols is also called a general game.

  On the left side of the image display device 5, a passing gate 41 through which a game ball can pass is provided. Based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41, the usual game is executed.

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a universal figure holding display 25 </ b> C is provided. The general figure hold display unit 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of general figure hold storage, which is the number of general figure games that are being executed, by the number of lighted LEDs.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a number of obstacle nails. In the lowermost part of the game area, there is provided an out port through which game balls that have not entered any winning port are taken.

  Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the left and right upper positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 for game effects is provided at the periphery of the game area. ing. The game effect lamp 9 includes an LED.

Below the upper plate, there is provided a hitting ball supply plate (lower plate) from which prize balls are paid out when the upper plate is full.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by the player is attached. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. The operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by the controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area, a push button 31B is provided that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like. An operation on the push button 31B is detected by a push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the stick controller 31 </ b> A and the push button 31 </ b> B are provided as detection means for detecting the player's operation (operation, etc.), but other detection means may be provided.

(Outline of game progress)
A game ball is launched toward the game area by a rotation operation by the player to the hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, a normal game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In the case where the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 during the previous execution of the normal game, etc. (when the game ball passes through the pass gate 41 but the normal game based on the pass cannot be immediately executed). The usual game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  In this ordinary game, if a specific ordinary symbol (a symbol per ordinary symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “per ordinary symbol”. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbols per ordinary symbol (ordinary symbol deviating symbol) is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “unusual symbol”. When the “normal hit” is reached, an opening control is performed to open the variable winning ball device 6B for a predetermined period (the second start winning opening is opened).

  When a game ball enters the first start winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

  If a game ball enters (wins) a start winning opening during a period during which a special figure game is being executed or during a period where a big hit gaming state or a small hit gaming state, which will be described later, is controlled (a start winning has occurred) In the case where the special game based on the start prize cannot be immediately executed), the special game based on the entry is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  In a special game, if a specific special symbol (a jackpot symbol, for example, “7”, the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type to be described later) is stopped and displayed as a special symbol, it will be a “hit” symbol. If a predetermined special symbol different from (a small hit symbol, for example, “2”) is stopped and displayed, “small hit” is obtained. Further, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol (out-of-order symbol, for example, “-”) is stopped and displayed, it becomes “out of”.

  After the display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the big hit gaming state is controlled as an advantageous state advantageous to the player. After the display result in the special figure game becomes “small hit”, the game is controlled to the small hit gaming state.

  In the big hit game state, the player can obtain a prize ball by causing the game ball to enter the big prize opening. Therefore, the big hit gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The greater the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state, and the longer the opening upper limit period, the more advantageous for the player.

  Note that a “big hit” is set as the big hit type. For example, a number of types of opening of the big prize opening (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) and gaming state after the big hit gaming state (described later, normal state, short-time state, probability change state, etc.) are prepared, and depending on them Type is set. As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type that can obtain many prize balls, or a jackpot type that has few prize balls or hardly obtains prize balls.

  In the small hit gaming state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit game state, the same opening mode as the big hit game state in the case of some big hit types (the number of times of opening of the big prize opening is the same as the number of rounds, and the closing timing of the big prize opening is also the same. Etc.), the grand prize opening is opened. Similar to the big hit type, the small hit type may be provided for the “small hit”.

  After the big hit gaming state is ended, depending on the big hit type, it may be controlled to a short time state or a probable change state.

  In the short-time state, control (short-time control) is executed to shorten the average special figure change time (period during which the special figure is changed) compared to the normal state. In the short-time state, by reducing the average normal map change time (period in which the normal map is changed) from the normal state, or by improving the probability of “per normal map” in the normal game, than the normal state, Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easy for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. The short-time state is a state advantageous for the player because the variation efficiency of the special symbol (especially the second special symbol) is improved.

  In the probability variation state (probability variation state), in addition to the time reduction control, probability variation control is executed in which the probability that the display result is “big hit” is higher than in the normal state. The probability variation state is a state that is more advantageous for the player because it is likely to be a “hit” in addition to the improvement of the variation efficiency of the special symbol.

  The short-time state or the probability change state continues until any one end condition such as that a predetermined number of special game has been executed and the next big hit game state has been established. A game whose end condition is that a predetermined number of special game has been executed is also referred to as a number of cuts (short time cut, number change probability change, etc.).

  The normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as a big hit gaming state advantageous for the player, a short-time state, a probable change state, etc., and the display result in the ordinary game is “per ordinary figure”. The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game is “big hit” is the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed, a predetermined return after power-on) This is the same control as when the process was not executed.

  A state in which the probability variation control is being executed is also referred to as a high probability state, and a state in which the probability variation control is not being performed is also referred to as a low probability state. The state where the time reduction control is executed is also referred to as a high base state, and the state where the time reduction control is not executed is also referred to as a low base state. By combining these, it is said that the short-time state is a low-accuracy and high-base state, the probability variation state is a high-accuracy and high-base state, the normal state is a low-accuracy and low-base state, and the like. The highly accurate state and the low base state are also referred to as a highly accurate low base state.

  After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the game state before the display result of the special game is “small hit” is controlled continuously (however, “small hit” occurs) If the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times, the gaming state is naturally changed). It should be noted that there is no “small hit” as the display result of the special game.

  Note that the gaming state may change based on the fact that the gaming ball has passed a specific area (for example, a specific area in the big prize opening) during the big hit gaming state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, the game ball may be controlled to be in a probable change state after the big hit game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects for notifying the progress of the game or exciting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or instead of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or the game effect lamp 9 This may be performed by turning on / off the light, and the operation of the movable body 32.

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the image display device 5, the first special game or the first game is produced as an effect executed in accordance with the progress of the game. Corresponding to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decorative symbols is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as a fixed special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game, the fixed decorative symbol (a combination of three decorative symbols) that is the display result of the variable decorative symbol display ) Is also stopped (derived).

  In the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end thereof, the variable display mode of the decorative design may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a variable display for decorative symbols that have not been stopped yet when the decorative symbols stopped on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of a jackpot combination described later. It is a mode that is continuing.

  In addition, a reach effect is executed in response to the above-described reach mode during variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (the display result of the special figure game or the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern) according to the production mode becomes “big hit” (also called the big hit reliability or the big hit expectation). Different types of reach production are executed. Reach production includes, for example, normal reach and super reach with higher hit reliability than normal reach.

  When the display result of the special figure game is “big hit”, a predetermined decorative pattern that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of variable display of decorative symbols on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration) The display result of the variable display of the symbol is “big hit”). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, “7”, etc.) are stopped and displayed together on predetermined active lines in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. .

  In the case of “probable big hit”, which is controlled to the probable change state after the big hit gaming state, odd numbers of decorative symbols (for example, “7”, etc.) are all stopped and displayed, and after the big hit gaming state is finished, In the case of a “non-probable big hit (normal big hit)” that is not controlled, an even number of decorative symbols (for example, “6”, etc.) may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, odd-numbered decorative symbols are also referred to as probability variation symbols, and even-numbered decorative symbols are also referred to as non-probable variation symbols (normal symbols). After becoming a reach mode with a non-probable variation pattern, a promotion effect that finally becomes a “probability large hit” may be executed.

  When the display result of the special game is “small hit”, as a display result of variable display of decorative symbols on the screen of the image display device 5, a fixed decorative symbol (for example, “ 1 3 5 "etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is" small hit "). As an example, the decorative symbols constituting the chance eye are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective lines in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes “big hit” of some big hit types (big hit type of big hit gaming state in the same manner as the small hit gaming state) and when it becomes “small hit” A common fixed decorative symbol may be derived and displayed.

  When the display result of the special figure game is “out of place”, the decorative display variable display mode does not become the reach mode, but the non-reach combination fixed display pattern (“ May be displayed in a stopped state (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is “non-reach out”). In addition, when the display result is “missing”, after the decorative display variable display mode is changed to the reach mode, a predetermined reach combination that is not a big hit combination (“reach off” is displayed as the variable display display result of the decorative design. ”) May be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is“ reach off ”).

  The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (hold display or active display). As other effects, for example, a notice effect for notifying the jackpot reliability is executed during variable display of decorative symbols. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the big hit reliability in the variable display being executed, and a pre-read notice effect for notifying the big hit reliability in the variable display before execution (variable display for which execution is suspended). As the pre-reading notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the normal mode may be executed.

  Further, in the image display device 5, by temporarily stopping the decorative design during the variable display of the decorative design and then restarting the variable display, the single variable display is made to appear as a plurality of variable displays in a pseudo manner. A pseudo-continuous effect may be executed.

  Even during the big hit game state, the big hit effect for informing the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit effect, an effect for notifying the number of rounds or a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state may be executed. In addition, during the small hit game state, the small hit effect during the small hit game state is executed. In addition, the big hit game in the small hit game state and a part of the big hit type (a big hit type of the big hit gaming state in the same manner as the small hit gaming state, for example, a big hit type in which the subsequent gaming state is a high probability state) By executing a common effect with the state, the player may not know whether the current state is the small hit game state or the big hit game state. In such a case, a common performance is executed after the end of the small hit gaming state and after the end of the big hit gaming state, so that it is not possible to identify the high probability state or the low probability state. May be.

  Further, for example, when a special game or the like is not being executed, a demonstration (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

A detection signal indicating that the switch has entered and the switch is turned on is taken in and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. Through the transmission of the detection signal, the passing or entry of the game ball is detected.

  The solenoid circuit 111 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal for turning on the solenoid 81 or the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric accessory or the solenoid 82 for the grand prize opening door. To transmit.

  The main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100) sends an effect control command (a command for designating (notifying) the progress of the game) according to the progress of the game as part of the control of the progress of the game. 12 is supplied. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. The production control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, a display result of a special figure game (including a jackpot type), a variation pattern used when the special figure game is executed (details will be described later) )), A game status (for example, start and end of variable display, open status of a big prize opening, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, gaming state), a command specifying an error, and the like.

  The production control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives production control commands, and produces productions (various productions according to the progress of the game) based on the received production control commands. (Including various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, notification of power failure recovery, etc.).

  On the effect control board 12, an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125 are mounted.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to execute an effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the above-described function of the effect control board 12 and an effect to be executed). Including the determination of At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 is used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

  The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of the effect based on detection signals from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (signals output when an operation by the player is detected and indicating the operation content as appropriate). The control unit 123 may be instructed.

  The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like, and executes an effect based on an execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120.

  The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to display the effect image by supplying the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for designating the sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to perform sound output synchronized with the display of the effect image and turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. Or a lamp signal (a signal designating the lighting / extinguishing mode of the lamp) is supplied to the lamp control board 14. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit that drives the movable body 32.

  Substrates other than the main board 11 such as the effect control board 12, the sound control board 13, and the lamp control board 14 are also referred to as sub-boards. A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

(Operation)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

(Main operations of the main board 11)
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated and the CPU 103 executes game control main processing. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

  In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets prohibition of interruption (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (step S2). The initial setting includes setting of a stack pointer, register setting of a built-in device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output port, etc.), setting for making the RAM 102 accessible.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on, for example, a power supply board. When the power is turned on while the clear switch is on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via the input port. When the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3; Yes), an initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process for clearing flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

  Further, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command for instructing initialization to the effect control board 12 (step S9). When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command, for example, the image display device 5 displays a screen for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

  If the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power failure), the CPU 103 executes a power supply stop process immediately before it becomes unable to operate due to the stop of the power supply. In the power supply stop process, a process for turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up in the RAM 102, a data protection process for the RAM 102, and the like are executed. Data protection processing includes addition of error detection codes (checksum, parity bits, etc.) and processing for backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data (including various flags and various timer states) for progressing the game, as well as the status of the backup flag and an error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is on. When the backup flag is off and backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), an initialization process (step S8) is executed.

  When the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the data of the backed up data (performed using the error detection code) and determines whether the data is normal (step). S5). In step S5, for example, it is determined whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data when the power supply is stopped, based on the parity bit and the checksum. If it is determined that they match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

  If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state at the time of stopping the power supply, so the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

  When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a recovery process (step S6) for returning the internal state of the main board 11 to the state when the power supply is stopped. In the restoration process, the CPU 103 sets a work area based on the storage contents of the RAM 102 (contents of backed up data). As a result, when the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped and the special symbol is changing, the change of the special symbol is resumed from the state before the recovery by executing the game control timer interrupt processing described later. Will be.

  And CPU103 transmits the production control command which instruct | indicates the recovery | restoration from a power interruption to the production control board 12 (step S7). In conjunction with this, an effect control command for designating a backed-up gaming state before power interruption, or an effect control for designating the display result of the special figure game being executed when the special figure game is being executed. A command may be transmitted. As these commands, the same commands as those set for transmission in the special symbol process processing described later can be used. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command for specifying the time of recovery from the power interruption, for example, the image display device 5 notifies that the power recovery from the power interruption has been made or is being recovered from the power interruption. To display the screen. The effect control CPU 120 may perform an appropriate screen display based on the effect control command.

  After finishing the restoration process or the initialization process and transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, the CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and an interrupt is permitted (step S12). ). Thereafter, the loop processing is started. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, thereby causing the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port through the switch circuit 110. Whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (step S21). Subsequently, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed by executing a predetermined main-side error process, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). Thereafter, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrence of jackpot) supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of winnings) and probability variation information (information indicating the number of times the probability has changed) is output (step S23).

  Subsequent to the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). Thereafter, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S25). The CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby realizing management of special symbol game execution and suspension, control of a big hit gaming state or a small hit gaming state, control of a gaming state, etc. Later).

  Following the special symbol process, a normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes the normal symbol process for each timer interruption, thereby managing the execution and holding of the ordinary game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the game ball passing through the passing gate 41), The opening control of the variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on “per figure” is enabled. The ordinary game is executed by driving the normal symbol display device 20, and the ordinary figure display number is displayed by turning on the ordinary symbol display device 25C.

  After executing the normal symbol process, a process when a power interruption occurs, a process for paying out a prize ball, or the like may be performed as part of the game control timer interrupt process. Thereafter, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may transmit and set an effect control command in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, the interrupt is permitted and then the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process. In this special symbol process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

  In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting occurrence of a start winning, storing hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold memory number is executed. When a start winning occurs, a random number value for determining a display result (including a jackpot type) and a variation pattern is extracted and stored as hold information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, a process for determining in advance a display result or a variation pattern may be executed. After storing the hold information and the number of reserved memories, transmission setting for transmitting an effect control command for designating determination results such as the occurrence of a start prize, the number of reserved memories, and the prefetch determination is performed on the effect control board 12. . The effect control command at the time of a start winning set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. Is transmitted.

  After executing the start winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes in steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM 102. In each process (steps S <b> 110 to S <b> 120) of the special symbol process, transmission settings for transmitting an effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 are performed.

  The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “0” (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, whether or not to start the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game is determined based on the presence or absence of the hold information. Also, in the special symbol normal processing, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is “big hit” or “small hit” based on the random number value for determining the display result, and the big hit type when “big hit” is assumed Is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal process, a confirmed special symbol (any one of the big hit symbol, the small hit symbol, or the off symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set corresponding to the determined display result. Thereafter, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “1”, and the special symbol normal process ends. The special game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special game using the first special figure (also referred to as special figure 2 priority digestion). In addition, the winning order of the game balls to the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special figure game may be established in order of winning (also referred to as winning order digestion).

  When various determinations are made based on random number values, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which determination values to be compared with random number values are assigned to the determination results) are referred to. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

  The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. In this variation pattern setting process, one of multiple types of variation patterns can be selected using a random value for determining the variation pattern based on the result of prior determination of whether or not the display result is “big hit” or “small hit”. The process to decide on is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “2”, and the variation pattern setting process ends.

  Fluctuation patterns include special game execution time (special graphic variable time) (also the execution time of decorative symbol variable display), decorative symbol variable display mode (such as presence / absence of reach), and variable decorative symbol display The content of the production (the type of reach production, etc.) is designated and is also called a variable display pattern.

  The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. This special symbol variation process includes a process for setting the special symbol to be varied in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and an elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes processing to measure Further, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached a special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. When the time elapsed since the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “3”, and the special symbol variation process is terminated.

  The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B stops the variation of the special symbol, and stops (displays) the definite special symbol that is the display result of the special symbol. The process to set for is included. When the display result is “big hit”, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “4”. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is “small hit”, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “8”. Further, when the display result is “out of”, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”. When the display result is “small hit” or “off”, the game state is also updated when the time reduction state or the probability variation state is controlled and the end of the number cut is established. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop process ends.

  The big hit release pre-processing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. This pre-opening process for jackpots includes a process for starting the execution of the round in the jackpot gaming state and setting the open winning opening based on the fact that the display result is “hit” It is. When the big prize opening is in an open state, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an open upper limit period in which the big winning opening is opened or an upper limit execution number of rounds is set corresponding to which of the big hit types. When these settings are finished, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”, and the big hit release pre-processing is finished.

  The big hit release processing in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". The big hit opening process includes a process for measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is in the open state, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. The process etc. which determine whether it became the timing which returns to a closed state from an open state are included. Then, when returning the prize winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing for stopping the supply of the solenoid driving signal to the solenoid 82 for the prize winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “6”, The processing during the jackpot release is terminated.

  The big hit release post-processing in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this post-hit-opening process, a process for determining whether or not the number of executions of the round in which the big winning opening is opened has reached the set upper limit execution number, and when the upper limit execution number is reached, the big hit game state The process etc. which perform the setting for ending are included. When the round execution count does not reach the upper limit execution count, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”, whereas when the round execution count reaches the upper limit execution count, the special figure process flag value is updated. The value is updated to “7”. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the processing after the big hit release ends.

  The big hit end process in step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. The jackpot end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending effect is executed as an effect operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. This includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time-saving control. When such a setting is made, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”, and the jackpot end processing ends.

  The small hit pre-release process in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “8”. This pre-opening process for small hits includes a process for setting the big winning opening in the small hit gaming state based on the fact that the display result is “small hit”. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “9”, and the small hit release pre-processing ends.

  The small hit releasing process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “9”. In the small hit opening process, the process for measuring the elapsed time since the big prize opening is in the open state, and the timing for returning the big prize opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time, etc. The process etc. which determine whether or not were included are included. When the big prize opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small hit gaming state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “10”, and the small hit opening process ends.

  The small hit end process in step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “10”. This small hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period during which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hit gaming state is executed. Here, when the small hit gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit gaming state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”, and the small hit end processing ends.

(Main operations of the production control board 12)
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated and executes the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 6 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and displays the effect control board 12. Performs register settings for the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32 such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for performing a predetermined operation check is executed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the on state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and awaits.

  On the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated separately from the timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time elapses. This interruption is generated when, for example, an effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interruption due to the turn-on of the effect control INT signal occurs, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt prohibition, but if a CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state is used, the interrupt is interrupted. It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt when the effect control INT signal is turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, an effect control command is fetched from a predetermined input port that receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I / O 125. The effect control command captured at this time is stored in an effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt processing after setting the interrupt permission.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command receiving buffer, the read effect control commands are read. Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read effect control command can be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or stored in the RAM 122 so that the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process or the like. Turn on the provided reception flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the gaming state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a background according to the gaming state.

  After executing the command analysis process in step S75, an effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 and a decoration LED, and the movable body 32 Control for operating various effect devices, such as the drive operation, is performed. In addition, determination, determination, setting, and the like according to an effect control command or the like transmitted from the main board 11 are performed on the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices.

  Following the effect control process in step S76, an effect random number update process is executed (step S77), and at least a part of the effect random numbers used on the effect control board 12 side is updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to step S73. Another process may be executed before returning to the process of step S73.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a prefetch notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, determination, determination, and setting for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of start winning transmitted from the main board 11. Further, a process for displaying a hold display is executed based on the hold memory number specified from the effect control command.

  After executing the process of step S161, the CPU 120 for effect control selects and executes one of the following processes of steps S170 to S177 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

  The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0” (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process for determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative symbols on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command for specifying the start of variable display is received from the main board 11. Etc. When it is determined that the variable display of the decorative design in the image display device 5 is started, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “1”, and the variable display start waiting process is ended.

  The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “1”. In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative design (determined decorative design), the variable display mode of the decorative design, the reach effect and various The presence / absence of execution of various effects such as a notice effect, its mode, execution start timing, and the like are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. Thereafter, based on the set production control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start the variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the production process flag is updated to “2”, and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of decorative symbols in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols.

  The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display an effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. In addition, driving the movable body 32, outputting sound and sound effect from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, and issuing a command (lighting signal) to the lamp control board 14 Various effects control during variable display of decorative symbols, such as turning on / off / flashing the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by the output, is executed. After such effect control is performed, for example, an end code indicating the end of variable display of decorative symbols is read from the effect control pattern, or a command specifying stop display of the final decorative symbols is received from the main board 11. Corresponding to what has been done, the definite decorative symbol that is the display result of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. When the definite decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “3”, and the effect process during variable display ends.

  The special figure waiting process in step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. In this special figure waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command for designating the start of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state has been received from the main board 11. When an effect control command designating starting a big hit gaming state or a small hit gaming state is received, if the command designates the start of a big hit gaming state, the value of the production process flag is set to “6”. Update to "". On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of the small hit gaming state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “4” which is a value corresponding to the effect processing during the small hit. In addition, when the command waiting time of the command has passed without receiving a command designating to start the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state, it is determined that the display result in the special game is “out of place”. Thus, the value of the production process flag is updated to “0” which is an initial value. When the value of the production process flag is updated, the waiting process per special figure is terminated.

  The small hitting effect process in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “4”. In this small hit effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect contents in the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the small hit game state based on the setting contents. . Also, in the small hit effect processing, for example, in response to receiving a command to end the small hit gaming state from the main board 11, the value of the effect process flag is a value corresponding to the small hit end effect. It is updated to a certain “5”, and the small hit effect production process is terminated.

  The small hit end effect process in step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “5”. In this small hit end effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the small hit game state, and various effect controls at the end of the small hit game state based on the set content. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value “0”, and the small hit end effect process is ended.

  The big hit effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In the jackpot effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect contents in the jackpot game state, and executes various effect controls in the jackpot game state based on the set contents. Also, in the big hit effect processing, for example, in response to receiving a command for ending the big hit gaming state from the main board 11, the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the ending effect processing. 7 ", and the big hit effect processing is terminated.

  The ending effect process in step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the jackpot gaming state, and performs various effects control of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot gaming state based on the set contents. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “0”, which is the initial value, and the ending effect process ends.

In other words, the rib 037SG612L (rib 037SG612R) functions as a protruding portion that protrudes closer to the first light guide plate 037SG511 than the light guide plate LED037SG607. A plurality of decorative members 037SG615 are disposed between the upper end portion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 and the upper side portion 037SG503H of the front holding member 037SG503. The decorative member 037SG615 is disposed at a position separated from the front surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511, and a predetermined gap S20 described later is formed between the decorative member 037SG615 and the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  Next, the movement form of the attachment member 037SG602 will be described based on FIGS. 8-13 to 8-15. As shown in FIG. 8-13, by driving the LED drive motor 037SG603A, the driving force is transmitted to the rack gear portion 037SG614b of the mounting member 037SG602 via the gear 037SG603B so that the mounting member 037SG602 moves in the left-right direction. It has become. The light guide plate LEDs 037SG607 and the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R are always arranged above the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 in the movable range of the mounting member 037SG602. That is, the mounting member 037SG602 is movable along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, and the movable range of the mounting member 037SG602 is that the light guide plate LED037SG607 and the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R are the upper end surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511. 037SG511a is a predetermined position facing. In other words, the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R face the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 at a predetermined position where the light guide plate LED037SG607 faces the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  As described above, the guide shaft 037SG610c of the mounting member 037SG602 is inserted into the guide groove 037SG601a of the base member 037SG601, and the guide shaft 037SG601b of the base member 037SG601 is inserted into the guide groove 037SG614a of the mounting member 037SG602. Therefore, the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 relative to the base member 037SG601 is guided in the left-right direction. Since the attachment member 037SG602 is attached by linear bushes 037SG606A and 037SG606B having low frictional resistance against the shaft 037SG606, the attachment member 037SG602 can be smoothly slid along the shaft 037SG606.

  In addition, an origin position sensor 037SG516 is disposed on the rear surface side of the base member 037SG601, and the origin position sensor 037SG516 detects the position of a substantially central portion in the left-right direction of the guide groove 037SG601a. Further, a detection piece 037SG602a that travels on the guide groove 037SG601a along the guide groove 037SG601a as the attachment member 037SG602 moves in the left-right direction is provided on the rear surface side of the attachment member 037SG602. The detection piece 037SG602a When the attachment member 037SG602 is at a substantially central position in the movable range, it is detected by the origin position sensor 037SG516.

  Specifically, when the detection piece 037SG602a is detected by the origin position sensor 037SG516, the attachment member 037SG602 is disposed at a first position (origin position, initial position) that is a substantially central position in the movable range (see FIG. 8-14 (A)). Further, when the gear 037SG603B is rotated forward (clockwise as viewed from above, see FIG. 8-13) by the LED drive motor 037SG603A from the state where the mounting member 037SG602 is in the first position, the mounting member 037SG602 is moved to the right end in the movable range. It arrange | positions at the 2nd position which is a position (refer FIG. 8-14 (B)). Further, by rotating the gear 037SG603B reversely (counterclockwise when viewed from above, see FIG. 8-13) by the LED drive motor 037SG603A from the state where the mounting member 037SG602 is in the first position, the mounting member 037SG602 is in the movable range. It arrange | positions at the 3rd position which is a left end position (refer FIG. 8-14 (C)).

  As described above, the attachment member 037SG602 can be moved in the left-right direction between the first position, the second position, and the third position, and thus is attached so as to be easily moved relative to the base member 037SG601. Therefore, the attachment member 037SG602 conveys the pachinko gaming machine 1, the attachment member 037SG602 moves, the game ball is launched into the game area 10, and other movable objects (movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R, etc.) operate. It may move up and down due to impacts or vibrations caused by things. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-15, when the attachment member 037SG602 is close to the first light guide plate 037SG511 while facing the substantially horizontal direction, or the attachment member 037SG602 is inclined with respect to the first light guide plate 037SG511. There are cases where they are close together.

  As shown in FIG. 8-15 (A), when the attachment member 037SG602 is close to the first light guide plate 037SG511 while facing the substantially horizontal direction, it is closer to the first light guide plate 037SG511 than the light guide plate LED037SG607. Since the protruding ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R come into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 before the light guide plate LED037SG607, the light guide plate LED037SG607 can be prevented from coming into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (B), the right side wall portion 037SG611c of the mounting member 037SG602 is lower than the left and right side wall portions 037SG611d (the mounting member 037SG602 is tilted with respect to the first light guide plate 037SG511). Similarly, the rib 037SG612R that protrudes closer to the first light guide plate 037SG511 than the light guide plate LED037SG607 contacts the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 earlier than the light guide plate LED037SG607 even when approaching in the state) It can prevent that light-guide plate LED037SG607 contacts the upper end surface 037SG511a of 1st light-guide plate 037SG511. The light guide plate LED 037SG607 is disposed close to the right side wall 037SG611c side of the mounting member 037SG602, but is disposed at a predetermined distance on the left side from the right side wall 037SG611c. Even when the light guide plate 037SG511 is close to the light guide plate 037SG511 in an inclined state, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is located at the upper end surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511 as compared with the configuration in which the light guide plate LED037SG607 is disposed close to the right side wall portion 037SG611c. 037SG511a is difficult to contact.

  Although not shown, for example, when the attachment member 037SG602 rotates around the shaft 037SG606, the front wall portion 037SG611a of the attachment member 037SG602 contacts the upper side portion 037SG503H of the front holding member 037SG503, or the attachment member 037SG602. The rear wall portion 037SG611b can be prevented from coming into contact with the upper side portion 037SG505H of the rear holding member 037SG505, and the light guide plate LED 037SG607 can be prevented from coming into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 (see FIGS. 8-10 to 8-12). ). Also, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (B), the rib 037SG612L (rib 037SG612R) has a front-rear width larger than the plate thickness dimension L15 (front-rear width) of the first light guide plate 037SG511. Since the mounting member 037SG602 is rotated to the back side (clockwise as viewed from the right side) around the shaft 037SG606, the rib 037SG612L (ribs) is ahead of the light guide plate LED037SG607 when the mounting member 037SG602 rotates around the shaft 037SG606. 037SG612R) is in contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  As shown in FIG. 8-16, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is formed of a transparent acrylic resin plate having a predetermined plate thickness dimension {plate thickness (for example, 2.5 mm)}. The upper end surface 037SG511a is a flat surface extending in the left-right direction, and the left and right side portions and the lower side portion are formed along the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505, and the display screen of the image display device 5 The movable body 037SG400 has a shape that can cover the front of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R (see FIGS. 8-3 and 8-4).

  The first light guide plate 037SG511 is made of a transparent plate having a thickness of about 2.5 mm made of an acrylic resin material, and a board thickness plate L15 (for example, about 10 mm) made of a transparent synthetic resin material constituting the game board 2. ), The expansion and contraction may occur due to a temperature change inside the pachinko gaming machine 1 in a state assembled to the pachinko gaming machine 1 as described later.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the front side of the game board 2 is closed by a glass door frame 037SG50, and the back side is closed by a cover body (not shown). In the space, there are provided a number of heat sources such as an image display device 5 composed of a liquid crystal display, a control board, LEDs, and a drive source (motor or solenoid). Therefore, since the internal temperature during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is higher than that during non-operation, the first light guide plate 037SG511 provided between the image display device 5 and the glass window 037SG50a has a temperature of about 40 degrees, for example. The change causes an expansion / contraction of about 1.6 mm at the maximum.

  Specifically, for example, in the case of the first light guide plate 037SG511, the warpage tolerance (flatness crossing) is about 3 to 6 mm. In the state, it is preferable that the distance between the front game board 2 and the distance between the rear image display device 5 and other members exceeds 6 mm.

  On the other hand, in the first light guide plate device 037SG500, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is attached to the back side of the game board 2 with a part of the periphery sandwiched from the front and rear by the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505. Therefore, there is a risk that the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 may be damaged or damaged due to assembly distortion due to manufacturing dimensional tolerances or assembling errors, and the expansion and contraction due to the temperature change as described above. As a result, the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 may come into contact with each other and be damaged or damaged.

  Therefore, the first light guide plate device 037SG500 of the feature portion 037SG is provided with the first light guide device 037SG500 so that it can cope with temperature changes in the pachinko gaming machine 1, manufacturing dimensional tolerances, and assembly errors, as will be described below. The light guide plate 037SG511 is attached to the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 with a predetermined gap (clearance).

  As shown in FIGS. 8-16 to 8-18, the first positioning boss 037SG551 projecting from the upper right side of the rear surface of the front holding member 037SG503 can be inserted into the upper right portion of the first light guide plate 037SG511. A first hole 037SG511A having a circular shape in front view as an insertion portion is formed. In addition, a second hole portion 037SG511B as a second insertion portion into which a second positioning boss 037SG552 that protrudes from the upper left side of the rear surface of the front holding member 037SG503 can be inserted is formed in the upper left portion of the first light guide plate 037SG511. ing. The second hole portion 037SG511B is configured by a long hole extending in the left-right direction. In addition, a third hole portion 037SG511C as a second insertion portion into which a third positioning boss 037SG542 projecting from the lower right rear side of the front holding member 037SG503 can be inserted is formed in the lower right portion of the first light guide plate 037SG511. Has been. The third hole portion 037SG511C is configured by a long hole extending in the vertical direction.

  The first hole 037SG511A is in the vicinity of the upper end surface 037SG511a so that the straight line LN2 passing through the center of the first hole 037SG511A is parallel to the straight line LN1 along the upper end surface 037SG511a (the upper side of the first light guide plate 037SG511). Formed in position. The second hole 037SG511B is in the vicinity of the upper end surface 037SG511a so that the straight line LN3 passing through the center of the second hole 037SG511B is parallel to the straight line LN1 along the upper end surface 037SG511a (the upper side of the first light guide plate 037SG511). Formed in position. The third hole portion 037SG511C has a straight line LN5 passing through the center of the third hole portion 037SG511C so that the straight line LN4 along the right end surface 037SG511b (the right side of the first light guide plate 037SG511) is substantially parallel to the right end surface 037SG511b. It is formed in the vicinity position.

  Specifically, the separation dimension L20 between the straight line LN1 and the straight line LN2, the separation dimension L21 between the straight line LN1 and the straight line LN3, and the separation dimension L22 between the straight line LN4 and the straight line LN5 are 2 of the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 037SG511. The length is longer than the double length (2.5 mm × 2 = 5 mm) (L20, L21, L22> L15 × 2). That is, the first hole portion 037SG511A and the second hole portion 037SG511B are formed at positions separated from the upper end surface 037SG511a (the upper side of the first light guide plate 037SG511) by at least twice the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 037SG511. The third hole portion 037SG511C is formed at a position separated from the right end surface 037SG511b (the right side of the first light guide plate 037SG511) by at least twice the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  The first hole 037SG511A and the second hole 037SG511B are not only for the upper end surface 037SG511a (the upper side of the first light guide plate 037SG511) but also from the periphery of the first light guide plate 037SG511 to the plate of the first light guide plate 037SG511. By being formed at a position more than twice the thickness L15 (see FIG. 8-10), the strength in the vicinity of the periphery of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is appropriately maintained so as not to be significantly reduced by the hole. . Similarly, the third hole portion 037SG511C is separated not only from the right end surface 037SG511b but also from the periphery of the first light guide plate 037SG511 by at least twice the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 037SG511 (see FIG. 8-10). By being formed at the position, the strength in the vicinity of the periphery of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is appropriately maintained so as not to be significantly reduced by the hole.

  As shown in FIG. 8-18 (A), the diameter L1 of the first hole 037SG511A is slightly longer than the diameter L2 of the first positioning boss 037SG551 (L1> L2). In the state where the first positioning boss 037SG551 is inserted into the portion 037SG511A, the left-right vertical clearance S1 (L1-L2) does not substantially occur between the first hole 037SG511A and the first positioning boss 037SG551. That is, the first positioning boss 037SG551 is fitted into the first hole 037SG511A.

  The left and right dimension L3A of the second hole 037SG511B is longer than the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 037SG552 (L3A> L4), and the vertical dimension L3B of the second hole 037SG511B is the second positioning boss 037SG552. The length is slightly longer than the diameter L4 (L3B> L4). Therefore, in the state where the second positioning boss 037SG552 is inserted into the second hole 037SG511B, a left-right clearance S2 (L3A-L4) is generated between the second hole 037SG511B and the second positioning boss 037SG552. The vertical gap S3 (L3B-L4) hardly occurs.

  The gap S2 in the left-right direction is larger than the gap S1 (S2 (L3A-L4)> S1 (L1-L2)). Further, the gap S1 and the gap S3 are substantially the same size (S1 (L1-L2) = S3 (L3B-L4)). That is, the second hole portion 037SG511B allows the first light guide plate 037SG511 to move in the left-right direction with respect to the second positioning boss 037SG552, and does not allow movement in the up-down direction.

  As shown in FIG. 8-18 (B), the vertical dimension L5A of the third hole 037SG511C is longer than the diameter L6 of the third positioning boss 037SG542 (L5A> L6), and the third hole The left-right dimension L5B of 037SG511C is slightly longer than the diameter L6 of the second positioning boss 037SG552 (L5B> L6). Accordingly, in the state where the third positioning boss 037SG542 is inserted into the third hole 037SG511C, a vertical gap S4 (L5A-L6) is generated between the third hole 037SG511C and the third positioning boss 037SG542. The left and right clearance S5 (L5B-L6) is hardly generated.

  The vertical gap S4 is larger than the gap S5 (S4 (L5A-L6)> S5 (L5B-L6)). Further, the gap S1 and the gap S5 are substantially the same size (S1 (L1-L2) = S5 (L5B-L6)). That is, the third hole 037SG511C allows the first light guide plate 037SG511 to move in the vertical direction with respect to the third positioning boss 037SG542, and does not allow movement in the left-right direction.

  The diameter L2 of the first positioning boss 037SG551 and the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 037SG552 are substantially the same (L2 = L4), and the diameter L6 of the third positioning boss 037SG542 is the first positioning boss 037SG552. It is smaller than the diameter L2 of the boss 037SG551 and the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 037SG552. In this feature 037SG, the diameter of the first positioning boss 037SG551 and the diameter of the second positioning boss 037SG552 are the same, but they may be different.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-10 to 8-12 and 8-18, the first light guide plate 037SG511 and the front holding member in the state where the first light guide plate 037SG511 is held by the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505. A gap S20 is provided between 037SG503. The gap S20 is formed over the entire surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511, and at any location, the dimension is equal to or less than the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 037SG511 (for example, about 0.2 mm to 8 mm). (S20 <L15). As described above, the gap S20 has the smallest front and rear width of about 0.2 mm, and thus the width of the first light guide plate 037SG511 moving back and forth is extremely small.

  Next, the thermal expansion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 will be described based on FIGS. The first light guide plate 037SG511 is made of an acrylic resin material and is made of a transparent plate having a plate thickness dimension L15 of about 2.5 mm.

  In this feature portion 037SG, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-19, a corner portion (of the first light guide plate 037SG511) facing the first hole portion 037SG511A (upper right side of the first light guide plate 037SG511) in the first light guide plate 037SG511. The separation dimension L40 (lower left side) is about 442 mm. In this case, the manufacturing dimensional tolerance is about ± 0.6 mm, and a maximum elongation of about 1.6 mm occurs with respect to a temperature change of 40 degrees. Therefore, if the positions of the first hole 037SG511A and the corners facing the first hole 037SG511A in the first light guide plate 037SG511 are fixed, an irreversible warpage of about 16.3 mm occurs due to temperature change. Sometimes.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-18 and 8-19 (A), in the state where the first light guide plate 037SG511 is held by the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505, the first hole 037SG511A has a first positioning portion. The boss 037SG551 is fitted, the second positioning boss 037SG552 is inserted in the substantially center position in the left-right direction of the second hole 037SG511B, and the third positioning boss is in the approximately center position of the third hole 037SG511C in the up-down direction. 037SG542 is inserted.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-18 and 8-19 (B), when the first light guide plate 037SG511 thermally expands, the first light guide plate 037SG511 moves relative to the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505. However, since the first hole 037SG511A is fitted to the first positioning boss 037SG551 formed in the front holding member 037SG503, the first hole 037SG511A is radially expanded with reference to the first hole 037SG511A. Will do. In addition, since the position of the corner | angular part which opposes 1st hole part 037SG511A in 1st light-guide plate 037SG511 is not fixed, the expansion | extension to the diagonal left direction on the basis of 1st hole part 037SG511A is accept | permitted.

  Here, the first hole portion 037SG511A and the second hole portion 037SG511B are provided in the vicinity of the upper end surface 037SG511a on which light emitted from the emission surface (lower surface) of the light guide plate LED037SG607 is incident, and the first positioning is performed. Since the vertical gap S1 with the boss 037SG551 and the vertical gap S3 with the second positioning boss 037SG552 are small, the upward extension width from the first hole 037SG511A and the second hole 037SG511B is kept small. Can do. Therefore, the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 extends to the upper light guide plate LED037SG607, so that the distance from the light guide plate LED037SG607 is one position in the left-right direction (for example, the right position) and the other position (for example, Left side position), that is, the positional relationship between the emission surface (lower surface) of the light guide plate LED037SG607 and the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is shifted, or the upper end surface 037SG511a contacts the light guide plate LED037SG607. This prevents the light guide plate LED037SG607 from being damaged or damaged.

  On the other hand, since the gap S2 between the second positioning boss 037SG552 and the second hole 037SG511B is larger than the gap S1, it is allowed to extend leftward with respect to the first hole 037SG511A. As shown in FIG. 19B, the second positioning boss for positioning the first light guide plate 037SG511 at the front mounting position even when the second hole 037SG511B is largely displaced to the left with respect to the second positioning boss 037SG552. Since it is possible to avoid the 037SG552 from being pressed and bent, it is possible to prevent the light from the light guide plate LED 037SG607 from being incident on the upper end surface 037SG511a due to the positional displacement with respect to the front holding member 037SG503 and the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  Also, since the gap S1 between the first positioning boss 037SG551 and the first hole 037SG511A and the third hole 037SG511C and the third positioning boss 037SG542 are small, the first hole 037SG511A and the third hole The extension width of the hole 037SG511C in the right direction can be reduced. On the other hand, since the gap S4 between the third hole portion 037SG511C and the third positioning boss 037SG542 is larger than the gap S1, the downward extension with respect to the first hole portion 037SG511A is allowed, so FIG. As shown in FIG. 19B, even when the third hole portion 037SG511C is largely displaced downward with respect to the third positioning boss 037SG542, the third light guide plate 037SG511 is positioned for positioning at the front mounting position. It is possible to avoid the boss 037SG542 from being pressed and broken.

  8-19, the case where the first light guide plate 037SG511 is thermally expanded has been described. However, for example, the internal temperature of the pachinko gaming machine 1 decreases during manufacturing in winter, storage, non-business at the game hall, and the like. When the first light guide plate 037SG511 is contracted, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is contracted radially with reference to the first hole 037SG511A, that is, the peripheral portion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is the first hole 037SG511A. Shrinks to move toward.

  Even in such a case, the second positioning boss 037SG552 is inserted at a substantially central position in the longitudinal direction of the second hole 037SG511B, and the third positioning boss 037SG542 is inserted at a substantially central position of the third hole 037SG511C. Since the insertion of the second positioning portion 037SG511B and the third positioning portion 037SG511C toward the first positioning portion 037SG511A with respect to the second positioning boss 037SG552 and the third positioning boss 037SG542 is permitted, The boss 037SG552 and the third positioning boss 037SG542 are prevented from being damaged.

  Next, the effect display aspect by 1st light-guide plate apparatus 037SG500 is demonstrated based on FIGS. 8-20. In this feature 037SG, the effects using the first light guide plate device 037SG500 may be executed in a notice effect that is executed before the reach state, as shown in FIG. It may be executed in a super reach production executed after reaching the reach state.

  As described above, the light of the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is incident from the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, and the light is then front-side by a plurality of reflecting portions (not shown) provided on the first light guide plate 037SG511. A predetermined image can be emitted and displayed on the display unit of the first light guide plate 037SG511. Specifically, as in the optical device technology described in the above-described prior art document, the reflection portion provided in the first light guide plate 037SG511 is determined in advance on the space on the front side of the first light guide plate 037SG511. As shown in FIG. 8-20, the light converges at a plurality of positions in front, rear, left, right, top and bottom, and as shown in FIG. A three-dimensional image is formed. That is, the first light guide plate 037SG511 can display a stereoscopic effect.

  The effect control CPU 120 can perform control of causing the light guide plate LED 037SG607 to emit light while moving the attachment member 037SG602 in the left-right direction (first position to third position). According to this, since the incident angle of the light from the light guide plate LED 037SG607 with respect to each reflecting portion changes due to the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 in the left-right direction, the convergence point or the convergence line where the light is converged by the reflecting portion is also the mounting member 037SG602. The stereoscopic display displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 can be performed in accordance with the movement of the movement, and the effect display can be performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (A), when the attachment member 037SG602 is in the first position, a stereoscopic image Z1 in which the bird is horizontal as viewed from the player is displayed. Also, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (B), when the attachment member 037SG602 is in the second position, a stereoscopic image Z2 in a state where the bird is tilted to the left as viewed from the player is displayed. As shown in FIG. 8-20 (C), when the attachment member 037SG602 is in the third position, the stereoscopic image Z3 in a state where the bird is tilted to the right as viewed from the player is displayed.

  In the feature portion 037SG, the attachment member 037SG602 is stopped at the first position (origin position) (the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned off), and the effect control CPU 120 turns on the light guide plate LED037SG607 at the execution timing of the effect, for example. In the case of the notice effect B described later, the attachment member 037SG602 is not moved from the first position. On the other hand, in the super reach effect, after the attachment member 037SG602 is moved from the first position to the second position, the attachment member 037SG602 is moved from the second position. After moving to the third position via the first position and reciprocating in the left-right direction a predetermined number of times (for example, three times) between the second position and the third position, the first position, The state in which the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R are located at the effect position in the operation of stopping at either the second position or the third position. Thereafter, the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R move to the retracted position, and the same image as the flying body by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R is displayed on the image display device 5, and then the image in which the flying body has changed is displayed. It executes in each of the states displayed on the display device 5.

  The effect control CPU 120 changes (changes) the light emission color of the light guide plate LED 037SG607 while moving the attachment member 037SG602, and controls to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode at the final position.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-20, the attachment member 037SG602 is disposed on the back side of the upper side portion 037SG503H of the front holding member 037SG503. As described above, the upper side portion 037SG503H has low translucency. It is difficult to see from the player side.

  Further, the upper side portion 037SG503H has low translucency, so that it is difficult to visually recognize the attachment member 037SG602 from the player side, but light is leaked forward from the cutout portion 037SG611g of the bulging portion 037SG611. In the case of moving the mounting member 037SG602 while causing the light plate LED 037SG607 to emit light, the light leaked from the notch portion 037SG611g is emitted forward through the upper side portion 037SG503H. It is possible to make the direction and shape of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 appear to change.

  FIG. 8-22 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in this feature 037SG. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte structure, and the first byte indicates MODE (command classification), and the second byte indicates EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always “1”, and the first bit of the EXT data is “0”. The command form shown in FIG. 8-22 (A) is an example, and other command forms may be used. In this example, the control command is composed of two control signals. However, the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one or a plurality of three or more.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8-22 (A), the command 8001H is a first variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. . The command 8002H is a second variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in a special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. This is a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a symbol (also referred to as an effect symbol). Here, XXH indicates an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set according to the instruction content by the effect control command. In the variation pattern designation command, different EXT data is set according to the variation pattern to be designated.

  Command 8CXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol. In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (B), a determination result (predetermined result) whether the variable display result (also referred to as a variable display result) is “out of” or “big hit”. ) And different EXT data are set in accordance with a determination result (a jackpot type determination result) as to which of a plurality of jackpot types when the variable display result is “big hit”.

  In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (B), the command 8C00H is a first variable display result designation command indicating a pre-determined result indicating that the variable display result is “out”. . The command 8C01H is a second variable display result designation command for notifying the advance determination result and the big hit type determination result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “probable big hit A”. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result designation command for notifying a pre-determined result and a big hit type determination result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “probable big hit B”. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command for notifying the advance determination result and the big hit type determination result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “probable big hit C”. The command 8C04H is a fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the advance determination result and the big hit type determination result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “non-probable variable big hit”. The command 8C05H is a sixth variable display result designation command for notifying a predetermined result indicating that the variable display result is “small hit”.

  The command 8F00H is a symbol confirmation command for designating stoppage (decision) of the decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a gaming state designation command for designating the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the gaming state designation command, for example, different EXT data is set according to the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, the command 9500H is a first gaming state designation command corresponding to a gaming state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither the time reduction control nor the probability variation control is performed, and the command 9501H is executed by the time reduction control. On the other hand, a second gaming state designation command corresponding to a gaming state (low probability high base state, short time state) in which probability variation control is not performed is used. In addition, the command 9502H is a third gaming state designation command corresponding to a gaming state (highly accurate low base state, timeless no certain change state) in which probability variation control is performed but time reduction control is not performed, and command 9503H is time variation control and probability variation. It is assumed that the fourth gaming state designation command corresponds to the gaming state in which the control is performed together (highly accurate high base state, time-varying probability changing state).

  The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as a “fanfare command”) for designating display of an effect image indicating the start of a big hit game or a small hit game. The command A1XXH is a large winning opening opening notification command for notifying that the big winning opening is in the open state in the big hit gaming state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after opening the big prize opening notifying that it is a period in which the big prize opening is changed from the open state to the closed state in the big hit gaming state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command for designating display of the effect image at the end of the big hit game or the small hit.

  In the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, for example, EXT data similar to that of the variable display result designation command is set, so that different EXT data may be set according to the predetermined determination result or the big hit type determination result. . Alternatively, in the hit start designation command or the hit end designation command, the correspondence relationship between the pre-determined result and the big hit type decision result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence relationship in the variable display result designation command. . In the notification command during opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening of the big winning opening, for example, in correspondence with the number of round executions (for example, “1” to “16”) in the normal opening big hit state and the high speed opening big hit state described later, Different EXT data is set.

  The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by the first start opening switch 22A and a start winning (first start winning) has occurred. This is a first start opening prize designation command for notifying that the first start condition for executing the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is established. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second start opening switch 22B and a start winning (second start winning) has occurred. The second start opening prize designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is established.

  The command C1XXH is a first reserved memory number notification command for notifying the first special figure reserved memory number so that the special figure reserved memory number can be specified. The command C2XXH is a second reserved memory number notification command for notifying the second special figure reserved memory number so that the special figure reserved memory number can be specified. The first reserved memory number notification command is, for example, when the first start opening winning designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first starting winning opening and the first start condition is satisfied. , Transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The second reserved memory number notification command is, for example, when the second start opening winning designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition is satisfied. , Transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In addition, the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command are used when the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the reserved memory number decreases). It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution.

  Instead of the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command, a total reserved memory number notification command for notifying the total reserved memory number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command for notifying increase (or decrease) of the total pending storage number may be used.

  The command C4XXH and the command C6XXH are effect control commands (winning determination result designation command) indicating the contents of the winning determination result. Among these, the command C4XXH is a symbol designating command indicating whether the variable display result is “big hit” as the winning determination result, and whether the big hit type (probability variation, non-probability variation or sudden accuracy) is determined and the small winning amount. It is. The command C6XXH is a variation category command indicating a determination result as to whether the random number value for variation pattern determination is “non-reach”, “super reach”, or “other” variation pattern as a winning determination result. It is.

  Note that the commands shown in FIG. 8-22 (A) are examples, and some of these commands may not be included, or different commands may be used instead of these commands. You may add a command different from this command. For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning of a game ball at each prize opening, or a gate for notifying that a game ball has passed the passing gate 41 A passing notification command, a notification command for notifying the remaining number of times that the probability variation control and the time reduction control are executed, and the like may be provided.

  FIGS. 8-23 is explanatory drawing which illustrates the random number value counted in the main board | substrate 11 side. As shown in FIG. 8-23, in the feature section 037SG, on the main board 11 side, a random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, a random value MR2 for determining the big hit type, and a random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern The numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for determining the normal display result is controlled to be countable. In addition, in order to improve a game effect, random numbers other than these may be used. Such random numbers used to control the progress of the game are also referred to as game random numbers.

  The random number circuit 104 only needs to count numerical data indicating some or all of these random number values MR1 to MR4. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit set in the RAM 102, to update various numerical data by software so that the random number values MR1 to MR4 are updated. Numerical data indicating a part of the number may be counted.

  The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random value used for determining whether or not to control the big hit gaming state with the variable display result of the special symbol or the like in the special figure game as “big hit”. It takes a value in the range of “1” to “65536”. The random number MR2 for determining the big hit type is any one of “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, or “non-probable big hit” when the variable display result is “big hit”. Random number values used to determine the value, for example, take values in the range of “1” to “100”.

  The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random value used to determine the variation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol as one of a plurality of types prepared in advance. For example, “1” to “ It takes a value in the range of “997”.

  The random number value MR4 for determining the normal figure display result is used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal figure game by the normal symbol display 20 is "per normal figure" or "out of normal figure". For example, a value in the range of “3” to “13”.

  FIG. 8-24 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 1 stored in the ROM 101. In the feature section 037SG, the special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure is used as the special figure display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. Individual special figure display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

  The special figure display result determination table 1 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to determine whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state with the variable display result as “big hit” before the determined special symbol is derived and displayed based on the random value MR1 for judging the special figure display result. It is a table to be referenced.

  In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 037SG, depending on whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a short time state (low probability state), or a probability variation state (high probability state), A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of “big hit” or “out”.

  In the special figure display result judgment table 1, the table data indicating the judgment value to be compared with the random value MR1 for judging the special figure display result indicates whether or not the special figure display result is set to “big hit” and controlled to the big hit gaming state. It is data for determination assigned to the determination result. In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature portion 037SG, when the gaming state is the probability variation state (high probability state), more determination values are obtained than when the normal state or the short time state (low probability state) It is assigned to the special figure display result of “Big hit”. As a result, in the probability variation state (high probability state) in which the probability variation control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is controlled as the “big hit” in the normal state or the short time state (low probability state) to control the big hit gaming state Then, compared to the determined probability (about 1/300 in this feature 037SG), the probability of being determined to be in the big hit gaming state with the special figure display result as “big hit” is higher (about 1 in this feature 037SG). / 30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table 1, it is determined that when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the probability variation state (high probability state), the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as compared to the normal state or the short time state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state.

  FIG. 8-24 (B) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 2 stored in the ROM 101. The special figure display result determination table 2 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the determined special symbol is derived and displayed, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is controlled as the “small hit” game state based on the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result. This is a table to be referred to.

  In the special figure display result determination table 2 in the feature unit 037SG, regardless of whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a short time state (low probability state), or a probability variation state (high probability state), A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of “small hit”.

  In the special figure display result judgment table 2, whether or not the table data indicating the judgment value compared with the random value MR1 for judging the special figure display result is controlled to the small hit gaming state with the special figure display result as “small hit”. The determination data is assigned to the determination result. In the special figure display result determination table 2 in the feature part 037SG, the number of determination values assigned to “small hit” differs between the case of the special figure game of the first special figure and the case of the second special figure. Yes. Specifically, in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure, the determination value is assigned to “small hit”, but in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, “small hit” is assigned. The judgment value is not assigned. Accordingly, as will be described later, the variable display of the second special figure is executed in preference to the variable display of the first special figure, and the second start winning formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is formed by executing the time reduction control. In a high base state in which a winning to the mouth occurs and the variable display of the second special figure is frequently executed, the “small hit” is hardly generated, and the second start formed by the variable winning ball apparatus 6B. In a high base state in which game balls can easily enter the winning opening, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of small hits where a large number of game balls cannot be acquired and to prevent the game entertainment from deteriorating.

  FIG. 8-25 (A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table in the feature unit 037SG determines whether the jackpot type is determined based on the random value MR2 for jackpot type determination when it is determined that the special figure display result is “big hit” and is controlled to the big hit game state. It is a table that is referenced to determine whether or not. In the jackpot type determination table, whether the special symbol for which variable display (variable display) has been performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (first 2 Depending on whether the special symbol display device 4B is a special game, the numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random value MR2 for determining the big hit type is “non-probable big hit”, “probable big hit A”, “ It is assigned to a plurality of types of big hit types such as “probable big hit B” and “probable big hit C”.

  Here, the jackpot type in the feature section 037SG will be described with reference to FIG. 8-25 (B). In the feature section 037SG, as the jackpot type, high-accuracy control and time-shortening control are performed after the jackpot game state ends. “Probability jackpot A” and “probability jackpot B” that are executed and shift to the high-accuracy high-base state, and the high-accuracy low-base state in which the high-accuracy control is executed but the time-shortening control is not executed after the big hit gaming state is finished. “Probability variation big hit C” to be transferred and “non-probability variable big hit” in which only the short-time control is executed and the low accuracy and high base state is changed after the big hit gaming state is set.

  The big hit game state by “probable big hit A” is a normal open big hit which is repeatedly executed 16 times (so-called 16 rounds) in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is changed to the first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, the big hit gaming state by “probable big hit B” is a normally open big hit that is repeatedly executed five times (so-called five rounds) in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is changed to the first state advantageous to the player. . The big hit gaming state by “non-probable big hit” is a normally open big hit that is repeatedly executed 16 times (so-called 16 rounds) in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is changed to the first state advantageous to the player. . Therefore, “probability variation big hit A” may be referred to as 16 rounds (16R) probability variation big hit, and “probability variation big hit B” may be referred to as five rounds (5R) probability variation big hit. Furthermore, in the big hit game by “probable big hit C”, the round in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is changed to the first state advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds), and the special in each round The open period of the variable winning ball device 7 is a high-speed open big hit that is shorter (for example, 0.1 seconds) than other big hit games. Note that the probability variation control and the time reduction control are not executed during any of the big hit types of big hit games.

  Further, although not particularly shown, the small hit gaming state in this feature 037SG changes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 to the first state advantageous to the player twice, and the opening time is the same as the probable big hit C. It is an open period (0.1 seconds for this feature 037SG). After the small hit game is over, the game state immediately before the small hit game is taken over.

  In other words, in this feature 037SG, when it is determined to be “probable big hit C” or “small hit”, variable display is executed with the same fluctuation pattern (PC1-1 shown in FIG. 8-26). At the same time, the chance display is stopped as a variable display result, and the opening pattern of the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is the same. Since it is not possible to distinguish between “probability big hit C” in which the probability variation control is executed or “small hit” in which the previous gaming state is continued without the probability variation control being executed, After the big hit game or the small hit game is finished, it is possible to continue the game while expecting the player to perform the probability variation control.

  The high-accuracy control and the time-shortening control executed after the end of the big hit gaming state of the probability changing big hit A and the probability changing big hit B are continuously executed until the big hit occurs again after the end of the big hit gaming state. Therefore, when the big hit that has occurred again is the probable big hit A or the probable big hit B, the high-precision control and the short-time control are executed again after the big hit gaming state ends, so the big hit gaming state does not go through the normal state. It becomes a so-called consecutive resort state that occurs continuously.

  On the other hand, the time-shortening control that is executed after the end of the big hit gaming state due to “non-probable big hit” is that a predetermined number of times (100 times in this feature 037SG) a special figure game is executed or the predetermined number of special figures is executed. The game ends when a big hit gaming state is reached before the game is executed.

  In the setting example of the big hit type determination table shown in FIG. 8-25 (A), “probability big hit A”, “depending on whether the special figure variably displayed is the first special figure or the second special figure. The allocation of judgment values to the big hit types of “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, and “non-probable big hit” is different. That is, when the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, the judgment value in the predetermined range (values in the range of “81” to “100”) is “probability big hit B” or “probability variation” with a small number of rounds. In the case where the special figure variably displayed is the second special figure while being assigned to the big hit type of “big hit C”, the judgment value is assigned to the big hit type of “probable big hit B” or “probable big hit C”. It is not done. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined as one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. And determining the jackpot type as one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied. Thus, the ratio of determining the big hit type as “probable big hit B” or “probable big hit C” with a small number of rounds can be varied. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, the big hit type is “probable big hit B” or “probable big hit C”, and it is not determined to control the normal open big hit state or the fast open big hit state with a small number of rounds. Therefore, for example, by the high opening control accompanying the short-time control, in the gaming state in which the game ball is likely to enter the second start winning port formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the frequent occurrence of the big hit state with few obtained winning balls is avoided. It can prevent that amusement interest falls.

  In addition, in the setting example of the big hit type determination table shown in FIG. 8-25 (A), the assignment of the determination value to the big hit type of “non-probable change” is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Since it is the same regardless of whether or not there is, the probability that it is a non-probable jackpot and the probability that it will be a jackpot of probability change is the same regardless of whether it is a special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure It is said that.

  Therefore, as described above, according to whether the assignment of the judgment value to “probability big hit B” or “probability big hit C” differs depending on whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. The allocation of the judgment value to “probable big hit A” is also different depending on whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. The special figure game is set so that it is easier to determine the special figure game than the special figure game of the first special figure.

  Note that even in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment values in a predetermined range different from the case of the special figure game of the first special figure are big hits of “probable big hit B” and “probable big hit C”. It may be assigned to a type. For example, in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment value which is smaller than that in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure is a big hit type such as “probable big hit B” or “probable big hit C”. May be assigned. Alternatively, regardless of whether the game is the special game of the first special figure or the second special figure, the type of jackpot may be determined with reference to the common table data.

  FIG. 8-26 shows a variation pattern in the feature 037SG. In this feature portion 037SG, among the cases where the variable display result is “out of”, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is “non-reach” and “reach”, respectively. Corresponding to the case where the display result is “big hit” or “small hit”, a plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “out of” and the decorative symbol variable display mode is “non-reach” is referred to as a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as “non-reach out-of-range variation pattern”). The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “out” and the decorative symbol variable display mode is “reach” is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as “reach out variation pattern”). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the deviation fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “out of”. A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “big hit” is referred to as a big hit variation pattern.

  The big hit variation pattern and the reach variation pattern include a normal reach variation pattern in which a normal reach reach effect is executed and a super reach change pattern in which a super reach reach effect such as super reach α and super reach β is executed. In this feature 037SG, only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and, like super reach, normal reach α, normal reach β,... A plurality of normal reach fluctuation patterns may be provided. Also, in the super reach variation pattern, three or more super reach variation patterns such as super reach γ... In addition to super reach α and super reach β may be provided.

  Note that the fluctuation pattern in this feature 037SG includes a special hit fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “small hit” or the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “probable big hit C”. PC1-1) is also included.

    As shown in FIG. 8-26, the special figure variable display time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the normal reach reach effect is executed in the feature unit 037SG is shorter than the super reach variation patterns super reach α and super reach β. Is set. In addition, for the special variable display time of the super reach variation pattern in which the super reach reach effect such as super reach α and super reach β in the feature unit 037SG is executed, the change pattern in which the super reach effect of the super reach β is executed. In this case, the special figure variable display time is set longer than the variation pattern in which the super reach production of the super reach α is executed.

  In this feature 037SG, as described above, the variable display result in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach is set so as to increase the expectation level of “big hit” excluding the probable big hit C. In the normal reach variation pattern and the super reach variation pattern, the longer the variable display time, the higher the degree of expectation of “big hit” excluding the probability big hit C.

  Further, in this feature unit 037SG, as will be described later, the variation pattern type is determined in advance, such as the non-reach type, the normal reach type, the super reach type, and the like. Then, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type, it is determined using only the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random number value for determining the variation pattern type is provided to determine these variation pattern types. The variation pattern type is first determined from the random value of the first and then executed from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type It may be determined that the variation pattern.

  FIG. 8-27 is an explanatory diagram of a method for determining a variation pattern in the feature unit 037SG. In this feature part 037SG, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is varied according to the display result of the variable display to be executed and the number of reserved memories.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-27, when the variable display result is an uncertain change big hit, the big hit variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the big hit variation pattern determination table A is used to change the variation pattern. Is determined from PB1-1 (a fluctuation pattern per normal reach jackpot) and PB1-2 (a fluctuation pattern per super reach jackpot). When the variable display result is the probability variation big hit A or the probability variation big hit B, the big hit variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation pattern is changed to PB1-1 (normal reach big hit based on the big hit variation pattern determination table A). Fluctuation pattern) and PB1-2 (variation pattern per super reach big hit).

  As shown in FIG. 8-27, the big hit variation pattern determination table A and the big hit variation pattern determination table B have different numbers of determination values assigned to PB1-1 and PB1-2. Specifically, in the big hit variation pattern determination table A, 498 determination values are assigned to PB1-1, and 497 determination values are assigned to PB1-2. On the other hand, in the big hit variation pattern determination table B, 250 determination values are assigned to PB1-1 and 747 determination values are assigned to PB1-2. That is, in this feature unit 037SG, when the variable display result is the probability variation big hit A or the probability variation big hit B, the variation pattern is a super-reach variation pattern at a higher rate than when the variable display result is the uncertain variation big hit. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the variation pattern in the variable display.

  When the variable display result is a probable large hit C or small hit, the special hit variation pattern judgment table is selected, and the special hit variation pattern judgment table is used to change the fluctuation pattern to PC1-1 (variation per special hit. Pattern). That is, in the feature unit 037SG, the variable display is executed with the same variation pattern when the variable display result is the probability variation big hit C and when the small hit is the small hit, so the player can variably display from the variation pattern. It is difficult to specify whether the result is a probable big hit C or a small hit.

  Further, when the variable display result is “out of” in the normal gaming state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages of the variation special figure is two or less, the variation pattern determination table A for detachment is selected, A fluctuation pattern is determined from PA1-1 (non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern), and PA2-2 (super-reach deviation fluctuation pattern) using the deviation fluctuation pattern determination table A. To do.

  Also, if the variable display result is “out of” in the normal gaming state (low base state) and the number of stored variable special reserves is 3, the fluctuation pattern determination table B for loss is selected and The variation pattern determination table B is used to determine the variation pattern from PA1-2 (non-reach deviation variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach deviation variation pattern), and PA2-2 (super-reach variation pattern). To do.

  In the normal gaming state (low base state), if the variable display result is “out of” and the number of reserved storages of the variation special figure is four, the variation pattern determination table C for loss is selected and The variation pattern determination table C is used to determine the variation pattern from PA1-3 (non-reach deviation variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach deviation variation pattern), and PA2-2 (superreach deviation variation pattern). To do.

  When the variable display result is “out of” in the time-short state (high base state), the variation pattern determination table D for loss is selected, and the variation pattern is changed to PA1-4 using the variation pattern determination table D for failure. It is determined from (short non-reach shift shortening fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach shift variation pattern), and PA2-2 (super-reach shift pattern).

  That is, when the variable display result is “out of” in the feature part 037SG, the special figure is based on the fact that the number of the variable special figure held is 3, 4, or the like, or is in the short-time state. Since the variable display is performed at a shorter variation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3, PA1-4) than the normal non-reach variation pattern (PA1-1), the proportion of variable display is increased. It is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result is a big hit while preventing the game from being delayed.

  The RAM 102 in this feature 037SG is provided with a game control data holding area as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the like. The game control data holding area includes a first special figure hold storage unit, a second special figure hold storage unit, a general figure hold storage unit, a game control flag setting unit, a game control timer setting unit, a game A control counter setting unit and a game control buffer setting unit are provided.

  The first special figure holding storage unit has received a start prize (first start prize) after the game ball has passed (entered) the first start prize opening formed by the winning ball apparatus 6A, but has not yet started. Hold data of a game (a special game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. As an example, the first special figure hold storage unit establishes the first start condition in the passage (entrance) of the game ball in association with the hold number in the order of winning (game ball detection order) to the first start winning opening. The random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random value MR2 for jackpot type determination, the numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 as the reserved data This is stored until the stored number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”). The hold data thus stored in the first special figure storage unit indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended, and the variable display result (special figure display result) in this special figure game. ) To hold information that makes it possible to determine whether or not to win a big hit.

  The second special figure holding storage unit has a start prize (second start prize) that has not yet started even though the game ball has passed (entered) through the second start prize port formed by the variable prize ball device 6B. The holding data of the figure game (the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. As an example, the second special figure holding storage unit establishes the second start condition in the passage (entrance) of the game ball in association with the hold number in the order of winning (game ball detection order) to the second start winning opening. The random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random value MR2 for jackpot type determination, the numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination, etc., extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 as the hold data , Until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, “4”). The hold data stored in the second special figure holding storage unit in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is held, and the variable display result (special figure display result) in this special figure game. ) To hold information that makes it possible to determine whether or not to win a big hit.

  In addition, the holding information (first holding information) based on the establishment of the first starting condition by the game ball passing (entering) through the first starting winning opening, and the game ball passing (entering) through the second starting winning opening. Thus, the hold information (second hold information) based on the establishment of the second start winning prize may be stored in association with the hold number in the common hold storage unit. In this case, the start port data indicating whether the game ball has passed (entered) through the first start winning port or the second start winning port may be included in the hold information and stored in association with the hold number. .

  In addition, the RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12 is provided with an effect control data holding area as an area for holding various data used for controlling the effect operation. The effect control data holding area includes an effect control flag setting unit, an effect control timer setting unit, an effect control counter setting unit, and an effect control buffer setting unit.

  In the feature unit 037SG, data constituting the start winning reception command is stored in the starting winning reception command buffer provided in a predetermined area of the effect control buffer setting unit. The received command buffer at the time of the start winning prize corresponds to a storage area (buffer numbers “1-1” to “1-4”) corresponding to the maximum value (for example, “4”) of the total reserved memory number of the first special figure reserved memory And a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “1-0”) corresponding to the first special figure being variably displayed. In addition, in the start winning reception command buffer, a storage area (buffer numbers “2-1” to “2-4”) corresponding to the maximum value (for example, “4”) of the total reserved memory number of the second special figure reserved memory is stored. And a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “2-0”) corresponding to the second special figure being variably displayed. When there is a starting prize at the first starting prize opening or the second starting prize opening, a starting opening prize designation command (first starting slot prize designation command or second starting slot prize designation command), symbol designation command, variable category designation Four commands, a command and a reserved memory count notification command (first reserved memory count notification command or second reserved memory count notification command), are transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set. The storage area corresponding to the first special figure hold memory and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure hold memory in the reception command buffer at the time of the start winning prize are a start opening prize designation command, a symbol designation command, a variable category designation command, a hold A storage area (entry) for storing the number-of-memory notification commands in association with the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory is secured.

  The storage contents of these storage areas (entries) will be described later when the start condition is satisfied and variable display of the highest-order hold storage (buffer number “1-1” or buffer number “2-1”) is started. The contents of the buffer number “1-0” or the buffer number “2-0” for storing the contents of the pending storage satisfying the start condition are displayed in the variable display. It is cleared in the decorative symbol variation stop process executed when ending.

  Next, an example of the variable display start setting process performed by the effect control CPU 120 in step S171 of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variation start command reception flag is set (step 037SG271). If the first variation start command reception flag is set, the various command data and various flags stored in the first special figure reservation memory in the start winning reception command buffer of the RAM 122 are shifted (step 037SG272). Buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” are assigned to the first special figure hold memory, and various command data and various flags can be stored in the corresponding areas. In step 037SG272, The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” are shifted upward by one buffer number. Note that the contents of the buffer number “1-0” are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  If the first variation start command reception flag is not set in step 037SG271, it is determined whether or not the second variation start command reception flag is set (step 037SG273). If the second variation start command reception flag is not set, the variable display start setting process is terminated. If the second variation start command reception flag is set, the second winning start reception command buffer second buffer is set. Various command data and various flags stored in the special figure hold memory are shifted (step 037SG274). Buffer numbers “2-0” to “2-4” are assigned to the second special figure hold memory, and various command data and various flags can be stored in the corresponding areas. In step 037SG274, The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “2-0” to “2-4” are shifted upward by one buffer number. Note that the contents of the buffer number “2-0” are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift.

  After execution of step 037SG272 or step 037SG274, the effect control CPU 120 reads a variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 037SG275).

  Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result specifying command storage area (that is, the received display result specifying command) (step 037SG276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol corresponding to the display result specified by the display result specifying command, and stores the data indicating the determined decorative symbol stop symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area of the RAM 122. To store.

  In the feature unit 037SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit A, the effect control CPU 120, for example, displays 3 symbols as “7” as the stop symbol. ”To determine the combination of decorative symbols (big hit symbol). In the case where the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit B, a plurality of combinations of odd numbers other than “7” (for example, “111”, “333”, “555”, “999”, etc.). In the case where the received variable display result designation command is the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit C, as the stop symbol, “334”, “778” having the same chance as the small hit Decide from the inside. Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the fifth variable display result designation command corresponding to the non-probable big hit, the effect control CPU 120, for example, displays the decorative symbols in which three symbols are arranged as even symbols. The combination (big hit symbol) is determined. In the case where the received variable display result designation command is the sixth variable display result designation command corresponding to the small hit, the stop symbols “334” and “778” having the same chance as the probability variable big hit C are used. Decide from the inside. In addition, when the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the deviation, it is a decorative design in which three symbols are irregular as a stop symbol, and combinations other than the above-mentioned chances Determine the missing pattern.

  In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 uses, for example, a stop symbol determination table in which random numbers for determining stop symbols are extracted, and data indicating combinations of decorative symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Then, it is sufficient to determine the stop symbol of the decorative symbol. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of decorative symbols corresponding to a numerical value that matches the extracted random number.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes a notice effect determination process, and decides whether or not to execute the notice effect in the variable display and the type when the notice effect is executed (step 037SG277).

  In step 037SG277, “notice effect A”, “notice effect B”, and “no notice effect” are determined in the ratio shown in FIG. To be determined.

  “Notice effect A” is a notice effect in which a character image is displayed on the image display device 5 at a predetermined timing before the reach state is reached. “Notification effect B” is a notification effect in which display by the first light guide plate device 037SG500 is executed at a predetermined timing before reaching the reach state.

  In this feature 037SG, as shown in FIG. 8-29, the variable display result is “big hit” excluding the probability big hit C, “super reach out”, and “non-reach out”. In each case, “notice effect A”, “notice effect B”, and “no notice effect” are determined at different ratios. Specifically, in the case where the variable display result is a probable big hit A, a probable big hit B, and a non-probable big hit B, the “notification effect A” is 25%, the “notification effect B” is 65%, “No production” is determined at a rate of 10%. In the case where the variation pattern is out of super reach, “notification effect A” is determined as 50%, “notification effect B” as 30%, and “not notice effect” as 20%. The In the case where the variation pattern is non-reach, “notice effect A” is 10% of “notice effect A”, “notice effect B” is 5%, and “no notice effect”. It is determined at a rate of 85%.

  In other words, when the variable display is a probable big hit A, a probable big hit B, or a non-probable big hit, the notice effect is easier to execute than when the super reach is lost or the normal reach is lost, and the “notice effect B” is executed. It is easy to be done. Further, in the case where the super reach is lost, the “notice effect A” is easily executed. In the case of non-reach out, “no notice effect” is more likely to be determined than in the case of probable big hit A, probable big hit B, non-probable big hit, or super reach out.

  When the type and non-execution of the notice effect are determined at a ratio as shown in FIG. 8-29, if the variable display shows a probable big hit A, a probable big hit B, and a non-probable big hit, Compared to the case where the normal reach is shifted, the “notice effect B” by the first light guide plate 037SG511 is more easily determined, and the case where the super reach is shifted is more than the case where the other normal reach is shifted. Also, the “notice effect A” is set so as to be easily determined. On the other hand, when the non-reach is lost in the variable display, “no notice effect” is determined as compared with the case where the variable display is a probable big hit A, a probable big hit B, a non-probable big hit, or the super reach is out. It is set to be easy.

  By setting in this way, the expectation level that the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit B, and the non-probable variation big hit is higher when the notice effect is executed than when the notice effect is not executed. . Furthermore, in the notice effect, when the notice effect B is executed, the degree of expectation of the probability variable big hit A, the probability variable big hit B, and the non-probable big hit is higher than when the notice effect A is executed. .

  That is, when the notice effect by the first light guide plate 037SG511 is executed, the probability change big hit A, the probability change big hit B, and the non-probability big hit are compared to the case where the notice effect A is executed or when the notice effect is not executed. Therefore, by executing the “notice effect B”, it is possible to enhance the player's expectation that the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit B, and the non-probability big hit B.

  In addition, the expectation degree (reliability) of each notice effect is the probability that each notice effect is executed and the probability change big hit A, the probability change big hit B, or the non-probable big hit (the probability change big hit A, the probability change big hit B or non (Probability of execution when the probability variation jackpot), the probability that each announcement effect is executed and the probability variation jackpot A, the probability variation jackpot B, and the non-probability variation jackpot, and the each announcement effect is executed and the probability variation jackpot A, the probability variation jackpot B and the non-probability variation It is a numerical value that is divided by the sum of the probabilities of not winning big hits (the execution probability of each notice effect).

  After the notice effect determination process in step 037SG277, in step 037SG278, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a notice effect execution determination flag indicating that execution of the notice effect is determined, that is, the notice effect in step 037SG277. It is determined whether or not any notice effect is determined in the determination process. The notice effect execution determination flag is set when the notice effect execution is determined in the notice effect determination process in step 037SG277.

  If the notice effect execution determination flag is set, a period corresponding to the notice effect determined as the period until the notice effect start is set in the notice effect start waiting timer (step 037SG279), and the notice effect execution determination flag is set. Is cleared (037SG280), and the process proceeds to Step 037SG281. On the other hand, if the notice effect execution determination flag is not set, the process proceeds to step 037SG281 without going through steps 037SG279 and 037SG280.

  In step 037SG281, the effect control CPU 120 selects the effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the change pattern designated by the change pattern designation command, the presence / absence of the notice effect, and the type of the notice effect. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 037SG282).

  In the process table, display control execution data for controlling display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R are controlled. Sound control execution data, operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, and the like are arranged in time series in association with each process data n (from No. 1 to N). .

  Next, the production control CPU 120 performs the production device (image display as a production component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). Control of device 5, various lamps as production parts, speakers 8L and 8R as production parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (step 037SG283). For example, in order to display an image according to the variation pattern in the image display device 5, a command is output to the display control unit 123. In addition, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14 in order to perform on / off control of various lamps. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to perform sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  Then, a value corresponding to the variation time specified by the variation pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (step 037SG284). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 037SG285). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes the image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative patterns to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the display control unit 123 is written to the VRAM. The signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays the image corresponding to the signal, whereby the variation of the decorative design is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the variable display effect processing (step S172) (step 037SG286).

  FIG. 8-30 is a flowchart showing the variable display effect process (step S172) in the effect control process. In the variable display effect process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the values of the process timer, variable display time timer, and variable display control timer by 1 (step 037SG301, step 037SG302, step 037SG303). In addition, the CPU 120 for effect control has a timer for waiting for a notice effect start set (determined to perform a notice effect) or a flag for executing a notice effect is set (while a notice effect is being executed). In some cases, referring to the process table for the notice effect in which the process data for the notice effect is set for each type of the notice effect, the effect of the period corresponding to each process data or the effect operation is detected. By switching the control of the apparatus, a notice effect process for executing a notice effect corresponding to the type stored in the RAM 122 is executed (step 037SG305). If neither the notice effect execution decision flag nor the notice effect execution flag is set, the process proceeds to step 037SG306 without executing the notice effect process in step 037SG305.

  In step 037SGS306, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the process timer has timed out. If the process timer has timed out, the process data is switched (step 037 SGS307). That is, the process timer is started again by setting the process timer setting value set next in the process table in the process timer (step 037SGS308). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect parts) is changed based on the display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc., set next (step 037SGS309a). On the other hand, if the process timer has not timed out, the rendering device (for rendering) according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.) The control of the component is executed (step 037SGS309b).

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the variable display control timer has timed out (step 037SG310). When the variable display control timer has timed out, the effect control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the left, middle and right decorative symbols (the screen to be displayed after 30 ms has elapsed since the last display switching of the decorative symbols). Image data is created and written in a predetermined area of the VRAM (step 037SG311). In this way, decorative pattern variation control is realized in the image display device 5. The display control unit 123 sends a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the image display device 5. Output. As such, the image display device 5 displays the background image in the variation of the decorative pattern, the flying object image corresponding to the movable body, the character image, and the decorative pattern. Further, a predetermined value is reset in the variable display control timer (step 037SG312).

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the variable display time timer has expired (step 037SG313). If the variable display time timer has timed out, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the waiting process per special figure (step S173) (step 037SG315). Even if the variable display time timer has not timed out, it is confirmed whether or not the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation designation command has been received is set (step 037SG314), and the symbol confirmation designation command has been received. If the confirmation command reception flag indicating is set, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the waiting process per special figure (step S173) (step 037SG315). Even if the variable display time timer has not timed out, when the symbol confirmation designation command is received, the process shifts to control to stop the fluctuation.For example, a fluctuation pattern command indicating a long fluctuation time due to noise between substrates is displayed. Even in the case of reception, the variation of the decorative symbol can be terminated when the regular variation time has elapsed (when the variation of the special symbol is finished).

  Note that process data during variable display of decorative symbols is set in the process table used for decorative pattern variation control. That is, the sum of the process timer set values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the decorative symbol variation time. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n is timed out in the process of step 037SG306, there is no process data to be switched (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.), and the decorative design effect control based on the process table is performed. finish.

  Next, an effect of causing the first light guide plate 037SG511 to emit light during variable display in the feature portion 037SG will be described. As shown in FIGS. 8-31 and 8-32, as described above, as the effect of causing the first light guide plate 037SG511 to emit light during variable display in the feature portion 037SG, as described above, the notice effect B and the reach effect of the super reach β Is provided.

  Among them, the notice effect B is a three-dimensional image Z1 (FIG. 8) on the first light guide plate 037SG511 by turning on the light guide plate LED 037SG607 from the mounting member 037SG602 arranged at the first position at a predetermined timing before reach establishment. -20). That is, the notice effect B is an effect in which the attachment member 037SG602 including the light guide plate LED 037SG607 does not move from the first position to the second position or the third position, and thus the stereoscopic image Z1 on the first light guide plate 037SG511 is the stereoscopic image Z2. Or a stereoscopic image Z3 (see FIG. 8-20). Furthermore, the notice effect B is an effect that does not involve driving of the accessory drive motor 037SG401, that is, an operation that does not involve an operation between the standby position and the effect position of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R.

  On the other hand, the reach effect of the super reach β is that the mounting member 037SG602 is repeatedly moved to the first position, the second position, and the third position by driving the LED drive motor 037SG603A at a predetermined timing after the reach is established, and the light guide plate By turning on the LED 037SG607, the stereoscopic image Z1 emitted and displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 is repeatedly changed to the stereoscopic image Z2 and the stereoscopic image Z3.

  Specifically, as a reach effect of super reach β, first, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned on, and the light guide plate LED037SG607 is kept on, and the attachment member 037SG602 is moved from the first position to the second position for a predetermined period ( For example, it is moved for 3 seconds. At this time, after the stereoscopic image Z1 is emitted and displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the light guide plate LED037SG607, the stereoscopic image Z1 is converted into the stereoscopic image Z2 in accordance with the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 from the first position to the second position. To change.

  Next, the attachment member 037SG602 is moved from the second position to the first position over a predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds). At this time, after the stereoscopic image Z2 is emitted and displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the light guide plate LED037SG607, the stereoscopic image Z2 is converted into the stereoscopic image Z1 according to the movement of the attachment member 037SG602 from the second position to the first position. To change.

  Next, the attachment member 037SG602 is moved from the first position to the third position over a predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds). At this time, after the stereoscopic image Z1 is emitted and displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the light guide plate LED037SG607, the stereoscopic image Z3 is converted into the stereoscopic image Z3 according to the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 from the first position to the third position. To change.

  Then, the attachment member 037SG602 is moved from the third position to the first position over a predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds). At this time, after the stereoscopic image Z3 is emitted and displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the light guide plate LED037SG607, the stereoscopic image Z1 is converted into the stereoscopic image Z1 according to the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 from the third position to the first position. To change.

  In the reach production of Super Reach β, the mounting member 037SG602 is moved from the first position to the second position, from the second position to the first position, from the first position to the third position, and from the third position to the first position as described above. Are repeatedly executed on the first light guide plate 037SG511, the stereoscopic image Z1 is continuous with the stereoscopic image Z2, the stereoscopic image Z2 is continuous with the stereoscopic image Z1, the stereoscopic image Z1 is continuous with the stereoscopic image Z3, and the stereoscopic image Z3 is continuous with the stereoscopic image Z1. Displayed while changing. The light emission display of these three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 on the first light guide plate 037SG511 ends when the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is turned off after the attachment member 037SG602 stops at the first position.

  As described above, the notice effect B and the reach effect of the super reach β in the feature portion 037SG are the execution timing, the presence / absence of the mode change of the image (stereoscopic image) displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511, the movable body 037SG403L, The presence or absence of operation of 037SG403R is different.

  More specifically, the reach effect of the super reach β will be described. As shown in FIG. 8-32, when the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned on in the reach effect of the super reach β, the LED drive motor 037SG603A is driven. The movement of the mounting member 037SG602 from the first position to the second position or the third position is started. In addition, from the timing when the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned on, the movement of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R from the standby position to the effect position is started by driving the accessory driving motor 037SG401. When the movement of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R to the effect positions is completed, one flying object is formed by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R at the effect positions.

  Then, after a predetermined period has elapsed since the flying bodies were formed by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R, the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R move from the effect position to the standby position by driving the accessory driving motor 037SG401.

  When the movement of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R to the standby position is completed, the image display apparatus 5 displays the one flying body as a flying body corresponding display corresponding to one flying body formed by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R. The display (first display) of the image of the flying object having substantially the same shape and size is started.

  Note that the first display as the flying object corresponding display in the image display device 5 changes to a second display that is partially different in color and shape from the first flying object and the first display as time passes.

  In addition, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned on / off in the reach portion of the super reach β in the feature portion 037SG, the LED drive motor 037SG603A is driven (moving of the mounting member 037SG602), and the accessory drive motor 037SG401 is driven (movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R). And the display of the flying object corresponding image are control contents described in the process data in the process table selected in the variable display start setting process. That is, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned on / off, the LED drive motor 037SG603A is driven (moving of the mounting member 037SG602), the accessory drive motor 037SG401 is driven (moving the movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R), and the flying object corresponding image is displayed. The effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display start setting process and the variable display effect process, and is executed according to the set process timer value and the process data corresponding to the process timer value.

  Next, the production aspect of the reach production of the super reach β in the feature unit 037SG will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 8-33 (A), at the start of the reach production of the super reach β, the attachment member 037SG602 including the light guide plate LED037SG607 is arranged at the first position, and the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R are on standby. Since it is arranged at the position, it is difficult for the player to see. Although not particularly illustrated, the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the reach effect of the super reach β.

  When the predetermined timing is reached in this state, as shown in FIGS. Form a flying object. In the image display device 5, an effect image is displayed instead of the image corresponding to the reach effect described above. Furthermore, when the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned on, a three-dimensional bird image is displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  As described above, the movement of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R to the effect positions, the display of the effect image on the image display device 5, and the display of the stereoscopic image Z1 on the first light guide plate 037SG511 are performed, so that FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the player recognizes the effect image, the flying object formed by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R, and the stereoscopic image Z1 in an overlapping manner.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8-34 (D), when the attachment member 037SG602 including the light guide plate LED 037SG607 moves from the first position to the second position, the first light guide plate 037SG511 overlaps with the flying object. A stereoscopic image Z2 is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-34 (E), when the attachment member 037SG602 moves from the second position to the third position via the first position, the first light guide plate 037SG511 overlaps the flying object. A stereoscopic image Z3 is displayed.

  Thereafter, the mounting member 037SG602 repeats the reciprocating movement between the second position and the third position via the first position until the predetermined period elapses, so that the first light guide plate 037SG511 has the three-dimensional image Z1 → the three-dimensional image. Each stereoscopic image is sequentially switched and displayed as Z2 → stereoscopic image Z1 → stereoscopic image Z3 → stereoscopic image Z1.

  As described above, the stereoscopic image Z1 is an image in which the bird is horizontal, the stereoscopic image Z2 is an image in which the bird is tilted to the left as viewed from the player, and the stereoscopic image Z3 is from the player. It is an image of the state where the bird is tilted to the right. For this reason, when the mounting member 037SG602 repeats reciprocating movement between the second position and the third position passing through the first position, the player overlaps the birds displayed on the flying body alternately from side to side. It is visually recognized as being displayed while tilting.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8-34 (F), when a predetermined period elapses after the flying bodies are formed at the production positions by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R, the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R are directed from the production positions to the standby position. Move. The display of the effect image in the image display device 5, the reciprocation between the second position and the third position of the mounting member 037SG602, and the lighting of the light guide plate LED037SG607 are maintained. That is, even during the movement of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R from the production position to the standby position, the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 are displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 (stereoscopic image Z1 → stereoscopic image Z2 → stereoscopic image Z1 → stereoscopic image Z3. → 3D image Z1... Switching display is continued, so pay attention to the player in the switching display of these 3D image Z1 → 3D image Z2 → 3D image Z1 → 3D image Z3 → 3D image Z1. Thus, the movement of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R from the effect position to the standby position can be executed without conspicuous from the player.

  After the movement of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R from the production position to the standby position is completed, as shown in FIGS. 8-35 (G) to 8-35 (I), the image display device 5 adds the effect image. The display of the flying object correspondence display (first display) is started. The flying object correspondence display is a state in which the flying object is horizontal when viewed from the player, a state where the flying object is inclined to the left side when viewed from the player, and a state where the flying object is inclined to the right side when viewed from the player. Are displayed while changing. Note that the flying object corresponding display is displayed so as to overlap the stereoscopic image Z1, the stereoscopic image Z2, and the stereoscopic image Z3 corresponding to the effect position. Further, the state of the display corresponding to the flying object changes in accordance with the switching display of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  Specifically, when the three-dimensional image Z1 changes to the three-dimensional image Z2, the aircraft corresponding display changes from a state in which the aircraft is horizontal as viewed from the player to a state in which the aircraft is tilted to the left, When the three-dimensional image Z2 changes to the three-dimensional image Z1, the display corresponding to the flying object changes from a state in which the flying object is tilted to the left as viewed from the player, and the flying object is in a horizontal state. When changing to the image Z3, the flying object correspondence display changes from a state where the flying object is horizontal as viewed from the player to a state where the flying object is tilted to the right, and the stereoscopic image Z3 changes to the stereoscopic image Z1. At this time, the flying object correspondence display changes from a state in which the flying object is tilted to the right side when viewed from the player to a horizontal state.

  That is, the flying object corresponding display changes to a state corresponding to the change destination of each of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 according to the switching display of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3. For this reason, from the player, the bird that has been overlapped and displayed on the flying object is displayed while being tilted to the left and right together with the flying object corresponding display in a state where the bird is continuously displayed on the flying object corresponding display in the first display. It is visually recognized.

  Finally, as shown in FIGS. 8-36 (J) to 8-36 (L), the aircraft corresponding display is switched from the first display to the second display. Therefore, from the player, it seems that the bird that has been displayed in the first display corresponding to the flying object is displayed while being tilted to the left and right in the state of being displayed in the second display corresponding to the flying object. Visible to. In addition, according to the switching display of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3, the change to the state corresponding to the change destination of each stereoscopic image Z1, Z2, and Z3 is continued in the aircraft corresponding display after switching to the second display. Executed.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-33 to 8-36, in the reach production of Super Reach β, the moving object 037SG403L, 037SG403R is moved from the production position to the standby position, and then the flying object corresponding display is performed on the image display device 5. By starting the display, and further changing the display corresponding to the flying object from the first display imitating the flying object formed by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R to the second display that is partially different in color and shape from the flying object, Since the player can visually recognize that the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R are deformed (changed from the shape of the first display to the shape of the second display), it is possible to improve the effect.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 described in this feature 037SG, light from the light emitting means (for example, the light guide plate LED037SG607) and light from the light emitting means are transmitted from the end face (for example, the upper end face 037SG511a). A light guide plate (for example, the first light guide plate 037SG511) capable of performing effect display by being incident, and a mounting member (for example, the mounting member 037SG602) to which the light emitting means is mounted. A protrusion that is movably provided and protrudes to the light guide plate side relative to the light emitting means (for example, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is spaced apart from the first light guide plate 037SG511 by a dimension L10, and the rib 037SG612L (rib 037SG612R) is the first light guide plate by dimension L11 larger than dimension L10 37SG511. The protrusion is arranged at a predetermined position where the mounting member faces the end face of the light guide plate and the light emitting means. (For example, the movable range of the mounting member 037SG602 is a predetermined position where the light guide plate LED 037SG607 and the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R face the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511.) FIG. To FIG. 8-12 and FIG. 8-14). By doing in this way, it can prevent that light-guide plate LED037SG607 contacts the upper end surface 037SG511a of 1st light-guide plate 037SG511, and is damaged.

  Specifically, the light guide plate LED 037SG607 attached to the attachment member 037SG602 is an ultra-bright LED for clearly displaying the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 on the first light guide plate 037SG511. Since it is more expensive, the mounting member 037SG602 is mounted so as to be movable in the left-right direction, and an effect display is performed to change the image displayed on the display unit of the first light guide plate 037SG511 using one light guide plate LED037SG607. Thereby, compared with the case where a plurality of light guide plates LED037SG607 (high brightness LEDs) are provided and the image is changed by changing the light emission location, the effect display for changing the image can be performed at low cost.

  The mounting member 037SG602 is mounted so as to be movable in the left-right direction, and is allowed to move slightly relative to the base member 037SG601 so that the moving operation can be smoothly performed. , The mounting member 037SG602 may move up and down due to impact or vibration caused by movement of the game ball into the game area 10, movement of other movable objects (movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R, etc.), etc. There is a possibility that the light guide plate LED037SG607 contacts the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 and is damaged. Further, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is made of a transparent plate having a thickness of about 2.5 mm made of an acrylic resin material, and a board thickness dimension L15 (for example, Therefore, the first light guide plate 037SG511 may be thermally expanded when the temperature of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is increased. As a result, the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 may come close to and come into contact with the light guide plate LED037SG607.

  In this feature portion 037SG, the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is spaced apart from the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the dimension L10, and the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R are smaller than the dimension L10 by the size L11 than the first light guide plate 037SG511. Are also spaced apart upward (L10> L11). That is, the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R protrude toward the first light guide plate 037SG511 from the light guide plate LED037SG607, and when the mounting member 037SG602 is closer to the first light guide plate 037SG511, the first light guide plate 037SG607 than the light guide plate LED037SG607. Since the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R projecting to the side are in contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 before the light guide plate LED037SG607, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is in contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 and damaged. Can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the attachment member 037SG602 is movable along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, it is possible to enhance the effect. Specifically, in the moving range in which the attachment member 037SG602 moves along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is always disposed above the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. According to this, since the incident angle of the light with respect to each reflection part provided in 1st light guide plate 037SG511 changes by moving the attachment member 037SG602, turning on light guide plate LED037SG607, light converges by each reflection part. The converged point and the converged line are also moved with the movement of the mounting member 037SG602, and a stereoscopic display (for example, the stereoscopic image Z1, Z2, Z3) displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 is gradually changed. It can be carried out.

  Further, since the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R are always disposed above the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 in the movement range of the mounting member 037SG602, the mounting member 037SG602 has any position in the left-right direction (for example, the first position). Even when the first light guide plate 037SG511 is close to the first light guide plate 037SG607 at the second position or the third position, the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is in contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. It is possible to prevent the light guide plate 037SG511 from coming into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a and being damaged.

  Further, in the feature portion 037SG, the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R as an example of the protruding portion are exemplified to be formed so as to protrude downward on the lower end surfaces of the left and right side wall portions 037SG611c and 037SG611d. For example, the lower end surfaces of the left and right side wall portions 037SG611c and 037SG611d may be used as long as they are provided at positions projecting with respect to the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 from the light guide plate LED037SG607. May function as a protrusion.

  In the feature 037SG, the attachment member 037SG602 is illustrated as moving along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is the first. If the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R are opposed to the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 when they are in a predetermined position facing the upper end surface 037SG511a of the light guide plate 037SG511, the operation direction of the mounting member 037SG602 can be freely changed. May be. For example, the mounting member 037SG602 may move in the vertical direction so as to approach and separate from the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, or the light guide plate LED037SG607 may be moved to the upper end surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511. The mounting member 037SG602 moves in the front-rear (substantially horizontal) direction, for example, between a predetermined position facing the 037SG511a and a retracted position where the light guide plate LED 037SG607 does not face the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. Also good.

  In addition, the mounting member 037SG602 having the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R is formed in a box shape that opens downward so as to accommodate the LED substrate 037SG609 having the light guide plate LED037SG607, so that light from the light guide plate LED037SG607 diffuses to the surroundings. Can be prevented.

  In addition, since the first light guide plate 037SG511 can display a stereoscopic effect, the effect can be enhanced. Specifically, the back surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is provided with a plurality of reflective portions in a concavo-convex state (rough surface). Light is converged at a plurality of positions, and three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 are formed in the space by a collection point of convergence points and convergence lines where the light is converged. In other words, the production effect is enhanced because the player can feel the depth by producing the stereoscopic effect. Note that as a method for performing the stereoscopic effect display, a known polarization method, a parallax barrier method, or the like for visually recognizing an image corresponding to the parallax of the right eye and the left eye of the player may be employed.

  Moreover, since the light guide plate LED037SG607 can emit light in a plurality of colors while the mounting member 037SG602 is moving, it is possible to enhance the effect. Specifically, the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is a full-color LED that has red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light emitting elements and can emit light in seven colors. Control can be performed to change (change) the color emitted by the light guide plate LED037SG607 while moving the member 037SG602 in the left-right direction (first position to third position). According to this, the emission colors (for example, white, blue, red, rainbow, etc.) of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 while changing the orientation and shape of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 by the movement of the mounting member 037SG602. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation while enhancing the production effect.

  Further, when the stereoscopic effect display is performed in this way, the direction and shape of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 can be changed by moving the light guide plate LED037SG607 to the left and right while emitting light. Compared to the case where a similar stereoscopic effect display is performed by arranging a plurality of light guide plates 037SG511 along the end face, the direction and shape of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 change smoothly so as not to change stepwise. Can be made.

  Moreover, since the light guide plate LED037SG607 can emit light with a plurality of luminances while the mounting member 037SG602 is moving, it is possible to enhance the effect. Specifically, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is configured to emit light with a plurality of luminances, and the effect control CPU 120 moves the mounting member 037SG602 in the left-right direction (first position to third position) while guiding the light guide plate LED037SG607. It is possible to control to change the luminance of the light emission. According to this, it is possible to change the brightness and darkness of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 while changing the orientation and shape of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 by the movement of the mounting member 037SG602. It can give players a sense of expectation.

  Further, the effect of moving the mounting member 037SG602, the effect of changing the color emitted by the light guide plate LED037SG607, and the effect of changing the luminance emitted by the light guide plate LED037SG607 can be further enhanced to further enhance the effect. it can. For example, first, a low-brightness and predetermined color stereoscopic image (any one of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3) with the mounting member 037SG602 stopped at any one of the first position, the second position, and the third position. ) Is displayed. Next, the mounting member 037SG602 is moved to gradually change the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3. Then, the attachment member 037SG602 is stopped at any one of the first position, the second position, and the third position, the luminance of the light guide plate LED037SG607 is changed to a high level, and a three-dimensional image (with a color different from the predetermined color ( An effect display such as displaying any one of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3) can be performed. According to this, since one of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 displayed when the mounting member 037SG602 is stopped can be emphasized compared to the three-dimensional image that is displayed when the mounting member 037SG602 is operated. Can make an impact.

  In addition, the form of the said effect display is an example and can be changed freely. For example, the production control CPU 120 is not limited to always turning on the light guide plate LED 037SG607 when the attachment member 037SG602 is moved. When the attachment member 037SG602 is moved, it is turned off, stopped and turned on, or attached. You may repeat blinking, moving member 037SG602. When the attachment member 037SG602 moves, it is turned off, and when the attachment member 037SG602 is turned on after being stopped, the attachment member 037SG602 is difficult to see from the player side due to the upper side portion 037SG503H. It becomes extremely difficult to predict the position. Thus, the player cannot know which position the attachment member 037SG602 has moved until the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is lit, so that the player can be interested in the movement of the attachment member 037SG602.

  Further, it is possible to control to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state) advantageous to the player according to the establishment of the predetermined condition, and the mounting member 037SG602 and the light guide plate LED037SG607 are provided so as to be difficult to see from the player. The position (for example, the position at which the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is opposed to the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511) is different from the first position (for example, the first position) and the second position (for example, the second position). The position of the light guide plate LED037SG607 emits light when it is in the first position or the second position. By doing in this way, the production effect can be enhanced.

  Specifically, in this feature 037SG, when the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 stops at the first position (when the stereoscopic image Z1 is displayed), the expectation of the big hit is the lowest, and the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 is the first. When the movement is stopped at the second position (when the stereoscopic image Z2 is displayed), the degree of expectation is higher than when the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 is stopped at the first position, and the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 is stopped at the third position. (When the three-dimensional image Z3 is displayed), since the expectation degree for the big hit is set to be the highest, whether the mounting member 037SG602 stops at the player's first position, second position, or third position (Which of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 is displayed) The player can be interested. Further, the player can be more interested by changing the color and brightness (brightness) of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 according to the degree of expectation of the big hit. In addition, the expectation degree of jackpot in each stop position of the attachment member 037SG602 can be changed freely.

  Further, the mounting member 037SG602 and the light guide plate LED037SG607 are disposed on the back side of the upper side portion 037SG503H of the front holding member 037SG503, and are difficult for the player to see. That is, since it is difficult for the player to predict whether the attachment member 037SG602 stops at the first position, the second position, or the third position, the player can be interested. Moreover, you may hide so that it may become difficult to visually recognize from a player with structures other than the front holding member 037SG503, a movable body for production, or the like.

  Note that the mounting member 037SG602 and the light guide plate LED 037SG607 only need to be provided with difficulty in viewing from the player. For example, a plurality of moving bodies and LEDs that move in a direction different from the mounting member 037SG602 are provided on the front surface of the mounting member 037SG602. The body or LED may be camouflaged so that the mounting member 037SG602 is difficult to identify by operating the body and the LED simultaneously with the mounting member 037SG602, or the player obscures the mounting member 037SG602 by providing an LED that irradiates the player side. The visual recognition may be difficult by a method other than concealment by a structure.

  In addition, a front holding member 037SG503 and a rear holding member 037SG505 are provided as attached portions to which the first light guide plate 037SG511 is attached, and the attached portion serves as a boss for positioning the first light guide plate 037SG511 with respect to the light guide plate LED037SG607. The first light guide plate 037SG511 has a plurality of positioning bosses including a first positioning boss 037SG551 and a second positioning boss 037SG552, and the first light guide plate 037SG511 is a first insertion portion into which the first positioning boss 037SG551 can be inserted. It has a plurality of insertion portions including a hole portion 037SG511A and a second hole portion 037SG511B as a second insertion portion into which the second positioning boss 037SG552 can be inserted, and the second positioning boss 037SG552 and the second hole portion 037SG511B The first light guide plate 037SG5 In the state where 1 is attached to the mounted portion, the gap S2 generated between the second positioning boss 037SG552 and the second hole 037SG511B is generated between the first positioning boss 037SG551 and the first hole 037SG511A. The first light guide plate 037SG511 is allowed to move in a specific direction parallel to or substantially parallel to the upper end surface 037SG511a while restricting the movement of the first light guide plate 037SG511 in a direction other than the specific direction. It is done.

  By doing in this way, the movement of the first light guide plate 037SG511 to the light guide plate LED037SG607 side is restricted by the second positioning boss 037SG552 and the second hole portion 037SG511B, thereby changing the light incident state at the time of thermal expansion. (For example, the separation distance between the upper end surface 037SG511a and the light guide plate LED037SG607 is changed, for example, the upper end surface 037SG511a approaches the light guide plate LED037SG607 due to thermal expansion of the first light guide plate 037SG511). It can respond suitably to the thermal expansion of. Further, the thermal expansion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 restricts the upper end surface 037SG511a from approaching the light guide plate LED037SG607, so that the light guide plate LED037SG607 can be prevented from coming into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a and being damaged. .

  Note that a gap (for example, a gap S1) between the first positioning boss and the first insertion portion is a gap (for example, a gap S2) between the second positioning boss and the second insertion portion. It is sufficient that it is smaller than the first one, and includes one having no gap between the first positioning boss and the first insertion portion.

  In addition, a front holding member 037SG503 and a rear holding member 037SG505 are provided as holding bodies for holding the first light guide plate 037SG511 in the mounting position, and the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 are provided with the first light guide plate 037SG511. The first light guide plate can be held at the mounting position so as to be sandwiched from the one surface (front surface) side and the other surface (back surface) side, and the first light guide plate 037SG511 is held by the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505. A gap S20 is provided between 037SG511 and the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505.

  By doing in this way, it can respond suitably with respect to the thermal expansion of 1st light-guide plate 037SG511. Specifically, since the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 are structured to hold the peripheral portion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 from the front side and the back side, the first light guide plate 037SG511 and the first light guide plate 037SG511 are designed. By providing the gap S20 (clearance) between them, it is possible to suitably avoid the occurrence of warpage due to no escape from thermal expansion.

  In the feature 037SG, the light is incident only on the light guide plate LED037SG607 movable along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. However, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is separated from the light guide plate LED037SG607. The light emitting means for making the light incident inside may be fixedly provided.

  For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 8-37 and 8-38, the first light guide plate device 037SG500 ′ emits light toward the left side portion 037SG503L of the front holding member 037SG503 toward the left end surface 037SG511c of the first light guide plate 037SG511. LED board 037SG518 which has two or more light guide plate LED037SG517 which irradiates may be attached (modification 037SG-1).

  Specifically, the LED substrate 037SG518 in the present modification is fixed to the left side portion 037SG503L of the front holding member 037SG503 by a screw N5. On the inner side of the left side portion 037SG503L, an inner wall portion 037SG548 is erected so as to protrude toward the back side. Concave portions 037SG549B are formed at predetermined intervals on the rear end edge portions of these inner wall portions 037SG548, whereby the rear end edge portion of the inner wall portion 037SG548 is formed as an uneven portion 037SG549 composed of the concave portions 037SG549B and the convex portions 037SG549A. Has been. As will be described later, the uneven portion 037SG549 is provided to face the left side portion of the front surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511 in a state where the first light guide plate 037SG511 is held at the mounting position by the rear holding member 037SG505.

  Between the left end surface 037SG511c of the first light guide plate 037SG511 and the light guide plate LED037SG517, a first condenser lens 037SG519 that condenses the light incident from the light guide plate LED037SG517 toward the left end surface 037SG511c of the first light guide plate 037SG511. It is arranged. A plurality of condenser lens positioning bosses 037SG593F are formed on the front surface of the first condenser lens 037SG519 so as to protrude forward, and the condenser lens positioning bosses 037SG593F are positioning holes formed in the LED substrate 037SG518. Inserted into 037SG595A.

  As shown in FIG. 8-38, at the position near the periphery on the back surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511, when the first light guide plate 037SG511 is manufactured, the first light guide plate 037SG511, which is a molded product, is not shown. A plurality of ejector pin traces 037SG650 formed when being extruded and taken out from the mold. The ejector pin mark 037SG650 is a convex portion (for example, a projecting dimension of about 0.1 mm) formed by being pressed by the ejector pin when the first light guide plate 037SG511 is taken out from the mold, and it is difficult to visually recognize it without gazing. It is a thing of a certain degree. In particular, two portions are formed in the vicinity of each hole on the periphery of the first light guide plate 037SG511 in order to prevent breakage at the time of extraction.

  As shown in FIG. 8-38A, in the state where the first light guide plate 037SG511 is sandwiched between the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505, the concavo-convex portion 037SG549 is formed on the back surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511. It is arranged at a position not facing the ejector pin mark 037SG650. Specifically, in a state where the first light guide plate 037SG511 is held by the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505, each ejector pin mark 037SG650 formed on the left side of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is more than the concavo-convex portion 037SG549. Since the ejector pin mark 037SG650 is in contact with the convex portion 037SG549A, the surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is prevented from being scratched because it is formed inside, that is, at a position away from the periphery.

  As described above, the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 are provided as holding bodies for holding the first light guide plate 037SG511 in the mounting position, and the holding body includes the first light guide plate 037SG511 on one side (front side) side.

  As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings. However, specific configurations are not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions without departing from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above-described feature unit 037SG, the display information that can be displayed on the display unit of the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the first light guide plate device 037SG500 is exemplified by an image (picture). Other display information including decorations such as characters, symbols, designs, or patterns may be displayed. The first light guide plate 037SG511 is not necessarily transparent as long as it has translucency, and may be colored or translucent, for example.

  In the above-described feature 037SG, the mounting member 037SG602 to which the light guide plate LED 037SG607 is attached is exemplified to be movable by the base member 037SG601 and the drive mechanism 037SG603, but the present invention is limited to this. If the light guide plate LED037SG607 is movable to a position facing the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, for example, a movable body (for example, movable) that approaches and separates from the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. The light guide plate LED037SG607 may be attached to the body 037SG403L, 037SG403R, etc.). Even in this case, it is preferable that the attachment member 037SG602 is provided on the back side of the movable body so that it is difficult for the player to see.

  In the above-described feature 037SG, the mounting member 037SG602 to which the light guide plate LED037SG607 is attached has exemplified the form in which the light guide plate LED037SG607 moves along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, the first light guide plate 037SG511 may be provided so as to move along the left and right end surfaces, the lower end surface, and the like.

  Further, in the above-described characteristic portion 037SG, the form in which the base member 037SG601 and the drive mechanism 037SG603 are provided to be movable is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the light guide plate LED037SG607 is the first guide. If it can move to a position facing the upper end surface 037SG511a of the optical plate 037SG511, for example, a movable body close to and away from the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 (for example, a movable body for production such as the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R). Included). Even in this case, it is preferable that the attachment member 037SG602 is provided on the back side of the movable body so that it is difficult for the player to see.

  Moreover, although 1st light guide plate apparatus 037SG500 illustrated the form by which one 1st light guide plate 037SG511 was provided, this invention is not limited to this, For example, two or more light guide plates are front and back. The light guide plates LED may be provided so as to overlap each other so that light can enter the light guide plates. As such a specific example, a light guide plate device as a modified example 037SG-2 of the present invention shown in FIG. 8-39 will be described. FIGS. 8-39 is a figure which shows the light-guide plate apparatus as modification 037SG-2 of this invention, Comprising: (A) is a front view which shows a front side light-guide plate, (B) shows a rear-side light guide plate. Front views (C) and (D) are explanatory views showing a state in which the light guide plates are arranged so as to overlap each other.

  As shown in FIG. 8-39 (A), the front light guide plate 037SG570A is provided with a light guide plate LED 037SG607A attached to the attachment member 037SG611A so as to be able to irradiate light on the upper end surface, so as to be movable in the left-right direction. By reflecting the light from the light guide plate LED037SG607A forward, the reflecting portion 037SG701A capable of displaying the upper half of the numbers (for example, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, etc.) A plurality are provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-39 (B), the rear light guide plate 037SG570B is provided with a light guide plate LED 037SG607B attached to the attachment member 037SG602D so as to be able to irradiate light on the right end face so as to be movable in the vertical direction. In addition, by reflecting the light from the light guide plate LED037SG607B forward, it is possible to display the lower half of the numbers (for example, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, etc.) A plurality of units 037SG701B are provided.

  When the light guide plates LED037SG607A and 037SG607B are caused to emit light, the upper half of each number is reflected by the three reflecting portions 037SG701A and 037SG701B arranged in rows or columns corresponding to the positions of the light guide plates LED037SG607A and 037SG607B. The part or lower half is displayed. Therefore, the light guide plates 037SG570A and 037SG570B configured in this way are arranged apart from each other so that each number (image) can be displayed by arranging the front and rear reflection units 037SG701A and 037SG701B correspondingly. Thus, in the region where the light from the light guide plates LED037SG607A and 037SG607B is superimposed, the light is reflected by the reflecting portions 037SG701A and 037SG701B, so that numbers are displayed.

  For example, after the front and rear light guide plates LED037SG607A and 037SG607B are reciprocated at the predetermined timing such as the big hit announcement effect described above (see FIG. 8-39 (C)), the light guide plates LED037SG607A and 037SG607B are set to predetermined numbers (for example, When the light guide plate LEDs 037SG607A and 037SG607B emit light by stopping at a position corresponding to “70” or the like, the number “70” is displayed, suggesting that the expectation of jackpot in the variable display is 70%. Etc. are possible. While the light guide plates LED037SG607A and 037SG607B are reciprocated as shown in FIG. 8-39 (C), the entire predetermined number is temporarily displayed in the region where the light from the light guide plates LED037SG607A and 037SG607B is superimposed. It is difficult to predict that a predetermined number will be displayed until the light guide plate LEDs 037SG607A and 037SG607B are stopped by only partially displaying the numbers, which can give the player an unexpectedness. .

  According to this, since it is possible to perform effect display such as displaying different images on the display units of the front and rear light guide plates 037SG570A and 037SG570B to form one image, it is possible to enhance the effect. In addition, when using a some light-guide plate, you may arrange | position the one attachment member to which light-guide plate LED is attached to each light-guide plate, and one attachment member 037SG602 to which light-guide plate LED is attached between each light-guide plate. It may be moved.

  Further, in the above-described feature 037SG, the mounting member 037SG602 provided with the light guide plate LED037SG607 is moved from the first position to the second position or the third position (the second position and the third position via the first position). The three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 are switched by reciprocating between them, and the player is displayed so that the bird displayed as the three-dimensional image is displayed while tilting left and right. Although the form to visually recognize was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, As shown to FIGS. 8-40 (A)-FIG. 8-40 (C) as modification 037SG-3, it is in a 1st position. The light guide plate LED037SG607C, the light guide plate LED037SG607L at the second position, and the light guide plate LED037SG607R at the third position are provided. The three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 are switched by sequentially turning on and off 607L, 037SG607C, and 037SG607R (for example, when displaying the three-dimensional image Z1, only the light guide plate LED 037SG607C is displayed. When the 3D image Z2 is displayed, only the light guide plate LED037SG607L is lit, and when the 3D image Z3 is displayed, only the light guide plate LED037SG607R is lit). The player may be made to visually recognize it while being tilted.

  In this way, when the light guide plate LEDs 037SG607L, 037SG607C, and 037SG607R are provided at the first position, the second position, and the third position, respectively, the mounting member 037SG602 is moved like the feature portion 037SG by switching the light guide plate LED that emits light. The three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 can be quickly changed to other three-dimensional images without causing them. Furthermore, since the display of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 can be switched on the first light guide plate 037SG511 without providing the mounting member 037SG602 and the LED drive motor 037SG603A for moving the mounting member 037SG602, the presentation control CPU 120 It is possible to reduce the production control load and the manufacturing cost of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  Further, in the above-described feature unit 037SG, the first light guide plate 037SG511 exemplifies a form in which a stereoscopic image of a bird is displayed as a stereoscopic image Z1, Z2, Z3 so as to overlap with the movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R and the flying object corresponding display. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the stereoscopic image displayed so as to overlap the movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R and the flying object corresponding display on the first light guide plate 037SG511 may be other than the bird's stereoscopic image. Good. In particular, as a modified example 037SG-4, as shown in FIGS. 8-41 (A) to 841 (C), a movable body 037SG403L, 037SG403R or a stereoscopic image imitating a flying object display is movable in the first light guide plate 037SG511. By displaying so as to overlap the 037SG403L, 037SG403R and the flying object correspondence display, the stereoscopic image can be further emphasized with respect to the player, so that the effect can be improved.

  Further, in the above-described feature unit 037SG, the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R constituting the flying body are operated as a reach effect of the super reach β, and the bird's three-dimensional images are displayed as the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, and Z3 on the first light guide plate 037SG511. Although the form which displays so that it overlaps with movable body 037SG403L, 037SG403R and flying object corresponding | compatible display was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, It displays in the movable body which operate | moves as this effect, and 1st light-guide plate 037SG511 The stereoscopic image to be displayed may be something other than a flying object or a bird.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-42 (A) to 8-42 (C) as modified example 037SG-5, the reach of super reach β waits for movable body 037SG420 imitating the face of a specific character. The stereoscopic image imitating the movable body 037SG420 in the first light guide plate 037SG511 is horizontal when viewed from the player, is tilted to the left when viewed from the player, and viewed from the player. And may be changed to a state tilted to the right (corresponding to the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 in the feature portion 037SG, respectively).

  Further, after moving the movable body 037SG420 from the effect position to the standby position, as shown in FIGS. 8-43 (A) to 8-43 (C), an image (partially different from the movable body 037SG420). For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-42 (A) and 8-43 (A), the image display device 5 displays an image whose face pattern is different from the face of the character imitated by the movable body 037SG420). While displaying, you may change the state of this image according to the change of the stereo image in 1st light-guide plate 037SG511.

  In the above-described feature 037SG, the first light guide plate 037SG511 has exemplified the form in which the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, and Z3 can be displayed in a stereoscopic effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. An image or the like may be displayed on a plane.
