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

(Structure of pachinko gaming machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1, showing an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 that constitutes a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame (underframe) 3 that supports and fixes the gaming board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is shot into the game area by being shot from a predetermined hitting ball launching device.

  At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the right side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1), a variable display (also called a special drawing game) of special symbols (also called a special drawing) as a plurality of types of special identification information is provided. There is provided a first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B. 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 pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off.

  The “variable display” of the special symbol is, for example, variably displaying a plurality of types of special symbols (the same applies to other symbols described later). The fluctuation includes update display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. In the variation of the special symbol or 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, which will be described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scroll-displayed or updated and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged / reduced. In addition, the variation includes a mode in which a certain symbol is displayed in a blinking manner. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derived or derived display) as a display result (the same applies to variable display of other symbols described later). The variable display may be referred to as a variable display or a variable.

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

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), or the like, and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may include 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 drawing game and the second special drawing game, a decorative pattern as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special pattern (a pattern showing numbers etc.) Variable display is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special drawing game or the second special drawing game, the decorative pattern is variably displayed (for example, up and down) in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Direction scroll display and update display). Note that the special figure game and the variable display of the decorative pattern that are executed in synchronization are collectively referred to as simply variable display.

  A display area may be provided on the screen of the image display device 5 for displaying a pending display corresponding to a variable display whose execution is suspended and an active display corresponding to a variable display being executed. The hold display and the active display are collectively referred to as a variable display corresponding display corresponding to the variable display.

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

  In addition, at a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B that are configured to include a plurality of LEDs are provided, and the first hold indicator 25A is the number of LEDs that are turned on. The first pending storage number is displayed by, and the second pending display unit 25B displays the second pending storage 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 device 6A forms a first starting winning hole which is always kept in a constant open state in which a game ball can enter by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. When the game balls enter the first start winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize balls can be paid out and the first special figure game can be started.

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

  At predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four places on the left and right lower sides of the game area), there are provided general winning openings 10 which are always kept open by a predetermined ball receiving member. In this case, when one of the general winning openings 10 is entered, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

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

  As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door (for special electric auditors) is in the off state, the big winning opening door closes the big winning opening, and the game ball is large. You will not be able to enter (pass) the winning hole. On the other hand, in the special variable winning a prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is in the ON state, the special winning opening door opens the special winning opening, and the game ball easily enters the special winning opening. Become.

  When a game ball enters the special winning opening, a predetermined number (eg, 14) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball. When a game ball enters the big winning opening, more prize balls are paid out than when the game ball enters the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the general winning opening 10, for example.

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

  At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1), a normal symbol display device 20 is provided. As an example, the normal symbol display device 20 includes a 7-segment LED or the like, and performs a variable display of a normal symbol as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from the special symbol. Ordinary symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such variable display of ordinary symbols is also called a universal symbol game.

  On the left side of the image display device 5, a passage gate 41 through which game balls can pass is provided. The universal figure game is executed based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41.

  Above the normal symbol display device 20, a universal symbol holding display device 25C is provided. The universal figure pending display 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of stored universal figure pending memories, which is the number of universal figure pending games whose execution is suspended, by the number of lit LEDs.

Below the upper plate, there is provided a hit 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 game area, a stick controller 31A that can be held by a player and tilted 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, there is provided a push button 31B that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation such as a pressing operation. The operation on the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting the action (operation etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Outline of game progression)
The game ball is launched toward the game area by the player's rotating operation of the hit ball operation handle 30 included in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal figure game by the normal symbol display device 20 is started. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the previous execution period of the general education game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but cannot immediately execute the general education game based on the passage) , The universal figure game based on the passage is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

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

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

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

  In addition, when the game ball enters into the starting winning opening (winning prize) during the period during execution of the special drawing game, or during the period when it is controlled to the big hitting game state or the small hitting game state described later (starting winning occurs, If the special drawing game based on the starting prize cannot be immediately executed), the special drawing game based on the entry is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  In the special figure game, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type described later.) Is displayed as a stop special symbol, the "big hit symbol" is reached and the big hit symbol is given. If a predetermined special symbol different from (a small hit symbol, for example, "2") is stopped and displayed, it is a "small hit". Further, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol (disappearing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, "disappear".

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

  In the big hit game state, the player can get the prize ball by entering the game ball into the special winning opening. Therefore, the big hit game state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the big hit game state, and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous for the player.

  In addition, the "big hit" is set to the big hit type. For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and maximum open period) of the special winning opening, and game states after the big hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc., described later) are prepared, and big hits are made accordingly. The type is set. As the big hit type, a big hit type that can obtain a large number of prize balls, or a big hit type that has few prize balls or almost no prize balls may be provided.

  In the small hitting game state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening manner. For example, in the small hit game state, the same opening mode as in the big hit game state in the case of some big hit types (the number of times of opening the special winning opening is the same as the number of rounds described above, and the closing timing of the special winning opening is also the same. Etc.) the special winning opening is opened. As with the big hit type, a small hit type may be provided for the "small hit".

  After the jackpot gaming state is over, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a probability changing state according to the jackpot type.

  In the time saving state, control (time saving control) for shortening the average special figure changing time (period during which the special figure is changed) is executed as compared with the normal state. In the time saving state, the average figure change time (the period during which the figure is changed) is shortened compared to the normal state, and the probability of being "Public hit" in the figure game is improved compared to the normal state. The control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening is also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

  In the probability variation state (probability variation state), in addition to the time saving control, the probability variation control in which the probability that the display result is "big hit" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The probability variation state is a state that is more advantageous to the player because it is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol is improved and a "big hit" is likely to occur.

  The time saving state and the probability changing state are continued until one of the end conditions such as that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times and the next big hit game state has been started. The end condition that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also referred to as the number of times cutting (shortening of the times of cutting, probability change of times of cutting, etc.).

  The normal state is a game state other than special states such as a big hit game state, which is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, a probability variation state, etc., and the display result in the figure game is "universal figure win". Probability and probability that the display result in the special figure game is "big hit", etc., the pachinko gaming machine 1 returns to a predetermined state after the power is turned on, such as when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the initial setting state (for example, when the system is reset. It is in the same controlled state as when the process was not executed).

  A state in which the probability variation control is executed is also referred to as a high accuracy state, and a state in which the probability variation control is not executed is also referred to as a low accuracy state. A state in which the time saving control is executed is also referred to as a high base state, and a state in which the time saving control is not executed is also referred to as a low base state. By combining these, it is said that the time saving state is a low accurate high base state, the definite change state is a high accurate high base state, and the normal state is a low accurate low base state. The highly accurate and low base state is also referred to as the highly accurate low base state.

  After the small hit game state is over, the game state is not changed, and the game state before the special figure game display result is "small hit" is continuously controlled (however, "small hit" occurs If the special figure game at that time is the predetermined number of special figure games in the above-mentioned number of times cut, the game state is naturally changed). Note that the display result of the special figure game does not have to be "small hit".

  The gaming state may change based on that the game ball has passed a specific area (for example, a specific area in the special winning opening) during the big hit gaming state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, it may be controlled to be in a certain change state after the big hit game state.

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

  As effects to be executed according to the progress of the game, in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or the first special figure game is displayed. In response to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decorative pattern 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 figure game and the second special figure game, the fixed decorative symbol (a combination of three decorative symbols) becomes the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol. ) Is also stopped (derived).

  In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, with the reach mode, when the decorative design stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination described later, the decorative design which is not yet stopped and displayed is variably displayed. Is an aspect that continues.

  In addition, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative pattern. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the proportion of the display result (the display result of the special drawing game or the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern) that is a “big hit” (also called a big hit reliability or a big hit expectation degree) according to the effect mode. Different types of reach effects are executed. Reach productions include, for example, normal reach and super-reach, which has higher jackpot reliability than normal reach.

  When the display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a fixed decorative pattern which is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of the decorative design on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration) The display result of the variable display of the pattern is "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative pattern (for example, “7”) is stopped and displayed together on a predetermined effective line in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. ..

  In the case of "probability variation jackpot" that is controlled to the probability variation state after the jackpot gaming state is finished, odd decorative patterns (for example, "7", etc.) are also stopped and displayed, and after the jackpot gaming state is transformed to the probability variation state. In the case of "uncertain variation 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, the odd decorative pattern is also referred to as a probability variation design, and the even decoration pattern is also referred to as a non-probability variation design (normal design). After the reach mode is achieved with the non-probability variation pattern, the promotion effect that finally becomes the “probability variation jackpot” may be executed.

  When the display result of the special figure game is "small hit", as a display result of the variable display of the decorative design on the screen of the image display device 5, a fixed decorative design (for example, "" 1 3 5 ”) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is“ small hit ”). As an example, the decorative patterns forming the chances are stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. It should be noted that the display result of the special drawing game is "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of big hit game state of a mode similar to small hit game state) and when it is "small hit". , A common fixed decorative pattern may be derived and displayed.

  When the display result of the special figure game is “out”, the variable display mode of the decorative design does not become the reach mode, but as the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (“ (Also referred to as "non-reach out") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is "non-reach out"). In addition, when the display result is “out”, after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, as a display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern, a predetermined reach combination other than the jackpot combination (“reach out” is displayed). (Also referred to as “”) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is “out of reach”).

  The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, a notice effect that gives a notice of the jackpot reliability is executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern. The notice production includes a notice production that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display being executed and a look-ahead notice production that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display before execution (variable display in which execution is suspended). As the prefetching notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display corresponding display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the normal mode may be executed.

  Further, in the image display device 5, once the decorative design is temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative design, and then the variable display is resumed, one variable display can be simulated like multiple variable display. You may make it perform a pseudo continuous production.

  Even during the big hit game state, a big hit mid-game production for notifying the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit performance, an effect for notifying the number of rounds or a promotion effect showing that the value of the big hit game state is improved may be executed. In addition, during the small hitting game state, the small hitting production which notifies the small hitting game state is executed. In addition, during the small hitting game state, in some big hitting type (the big hitting type of the big hitting game state of the form similar to the small hitting game state, for example, the big hitting type which makes the following game state the high-precision state) big hitting game By executing a common effect depending on the state, the player may not be able to know whether the present is in the small hitting game state or the big hitting game state. In such a case, by performing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high-accuracy state and the low-precision state. May be.

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

Supply to 12. 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 effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, a display result of the special figure game (including a big hit type), a variation pattern used when the special figure game is executed (details will be described later). )), The status of the game (for example, the start and end of variable display, the status of opening of the special winning opening, the occurrence of winnings, the number of reserved memories, the game status), the command for specifying the occurrence of an error, and the like.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board that is independent of the main board 11, receives an effect control command, and effects based on the received effect control command (various effects according to the progress of the game, It has a function of executing various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, and notification of power failure recovery.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121, thereby performing a process 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 effect execution based on a detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B (a signal that is output when an operation by the player is detected, and is a signal that appropriately indicates the operation content). 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 effect 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 according 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 designating signal (a signal designating the sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to output the sound in synchronization with the display of the effect image and turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. Alternatively, a lamp signal (a signal that specifies the lighting / extinguishing state of the lamp) is supplied to the lamp control board 14. In addition, 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.

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

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operation of the main board 11 will be described. When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes the game control main processing. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the game control main processing 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 an interrupt prohibition (step S1). Then, necessary initial setting is performed (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, internal device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output port, etc.) register settings, settings for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

  Next, it is determined whether 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 with the clear switch turned 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), the initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process for clearing the flag, counter, and buffer stored in the RAM 102, and sets an initial value in the work area.

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

  When 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 cut), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop time process immediately before the power supply is stopped due to the stop of the power supply. In this power supply stop process, a process of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up in the RAM 102, a data protection process of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes a process of adding an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and a process of backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data (including various flags, states of various timers, etc.) for advancing the game, the state of the backup flag and an error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether the backup flag is on. When the backup flag is off and the backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), the 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 by using the error detection code) and determines whether or not the data is normal (step). S5). In step S5, it is determined whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data at the time when the power supply is stopped, for example, based on the parity bit and the checksum. If it is determined that they match, the data in the RAM 102 is determined to be normal.

  When 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 was stopped. In the restoration process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the stored contents of the RAM 102 (contents of backed up data). As a result, the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped, and if the special symbol is changing, the variation of the special symbol is restarted from the state before the restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. Will be.

  And CPU103 transmits the production control command which directs recovery from power failure to production control board 12 (Step S7). In accordance with this, a production control command for designating a backed-up game state before power interruption, and a production control for designating the display result of the special figure game being executed when the special figure game is being executed. You may make it transmit a command. For these commands, the same commands as the commands set for transmission in the special symbol process processing described later can be used. When the production control CPU 120 receives the production control command that specifies the time of restoration from the power interruption, for example, the image display device 5 notifies that the recovery from the power interruption has been performed or is being restored from the power interruption. The screen is displayed to The effect control CPU 120 may display an appropriate screen based on the effect control command.

  After finishing the restoration process or the initialization process and transmitting the production control command to the production 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 taken at regular intervals (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and interrupts are permitted (step S12). ). After that, the loop processing is started. After that, 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 regularly execute timer interrupt processing.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the 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 to execute the predetermined switch process, so that the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port are performed via the switch circuit 110. Whether or not the detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (step S21). Then, by executing a predetermined main side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be issued if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots) supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 and start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of times of winning) and probability variation information (information indicating the number of times the probability has changed) is output (step S23).

  Following 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). After that, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S25). The CPU 103 executes the special symbol process process for each timer interruption, thereby managing the execution and suspension of the special symbol game, controlling the big hit game state and the small hit game state, controlling the game state, etc. See below).

  Following the special symbol process process, a normal symbol process process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes the normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, and based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41), the management of execution and suspension of the general figure game, It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "universal figure hit". The execution of the general figure game is performed by driving the normal pattern display device 20, and the general figure reservation display unit 25C is turned on to display the number of general figure reservations.

  After executing the normal symbol process process, as a part of the game control timer interrupt process, a process when an electric power interruption occurs, a process for paying out a prize ball, etc. may be performed. After that, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may set the transmission of the 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 the 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 ended.

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

  In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the holding information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the number of holding memories is executed. When the start winning occurs, a random number value for determining the display result (including the big hit type) and the variation pattern is extracted and stored as holding information. In addition, a process of pre-reading a display result or a variation pattern may be executed based on the extracted random number value. After storing the hold information and the number of holding memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for designating the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of holding memories, and the look-ahead determination is performed on the effect control board 12. .. The effect control command at the time of the start winning set to be transmitted in this way is performed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control processing of step S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process processing is completed. Is transmitted to.

  After executing the start winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM 102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, a transmission setting for transmitting an effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is 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, it is determined whether to start the first special figure game or the second special figure game, based on the presence or absence of the hold information. Also, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative pattern is "big hit" or "small hit" and "big hit" when the big hit type Is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal processing, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, or a falling symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set in correspondence with the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal process ends. The special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also called special figure 2 priority digestion). In addition, the winning order of the game balls to the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the conditions for starting the special drawing game may be established in the winning order (also referred to as winning order winning).

  When making various determinations based on random number values, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which the determination value to be compared with the random number value is assigned to the determination result) are referenced. 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 fluctuation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". This fluctuation pattern setting process uses a random number value for fluctuation pattern determination to select one of a plurality of fluctuation patterns based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not the display result is "big hit" or "small hit". It includes the processing to determine. In the fluctuation pattern setting process, when the fluctuation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “2”, and the fluctuation pattern setting process ends.

  The variation pattern is the execution time of the special figure game (special figure change time) (also the execution time of variable display of the decorative pattern), the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern (whether reach or not), the variable display of the decorative pattern. Is specified, and is also referred to as a variable display pattern.

  The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". In this special symbol variation process, the setting process for changing the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol It includes the process of measuring. Further, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process ends.

  The special symbol stop process of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B to stop the fluctuation of the special symbol, the stop display (deriving) the fixed special symbol which is the display result of the special symbol. It includes the process to set up for. 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”, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”. When the display result is "small hit" or "off", the gaming state is updated when the time-saving state or the probability variation state is controlled, and when the cut-out is completed. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

(Main operation of the production control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6. 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) to clear the RAM 122 and set various initial values, and to the effect control board 12. Register settings of the installed CTC (counter / timer circuit) are performed. Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control processing, control for performing an 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 confirming a predetermined operation are executed.

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

  On the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that is generated each time a predetermined time has elapsed. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disable, but if a CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state is used, an interrupt occurs. 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 the interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, a performance control command is fetched from a predetermined input port of the input ports included in the I / O 125 that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command fetched at this time is stored in the effect control command receiving buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the production control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to the off state (step S74), and the command analysis process 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 reception buffer, the read effect control commands are read. Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read effect control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or the RAM 122 is stored in the RAM 122 so that the effect control command received and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process processing or the like. It turns on the provided reception flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display the background according to the game state.

  After the command analysis process is executed in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, a sound 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 decorative LED, and the movable body 32. The control for operating various effect devices, such as the drive operation of, is performed. Further, with respect to the control contents of the effect operation using various effect devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the effect control commands transmitted from the main board 11.

  Following the effect control process processing of step S76, effect random number updating processing 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. Then, the process returns to step S73. Other processing may be executed before returning to the processing in step S73.

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

  After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes any 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 of determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative symbols in the image display device 5, based on whether or not a command or the like specifying start of variable display is received from the main board 11. Etc. are included. When it is determined that the variable display of the decorative pattern on 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 the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the decorative display variable display (fixed decorative pattern), 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, and execution start timing are determined. Then, the effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) that reflects the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start the variable display of the decorative pattern, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process ends. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start the variable display of the decorative design in response to the instruction to start the variable display of the decorative design.

  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 section 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. Or driving the movable body 32, outputting voice or sound effect from the speakers 8L, 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, and sending a command (illumination signal) to the lamp control board 14. Various effect control is performed during variable display of the decorative pattern, such as turning on / off / blinking the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the variable display end of the decorative pattern is read from the effect control pattern, or a command designating that the fixed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed from the main board 11 is received. Corresponding to what has been done, the fixed decorative design which is the display result of the decorative design is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3", and the variable display effect effect processing ends.

  The special figure winning waiting process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "3". In the special figure winning waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the effect control command for designating the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state has been received from the main board 11. Then, when the production control command for designating the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received, if the command designates the start of the big hit game 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 hitting game state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4" which is a value corresponding to the effect processing during the small hitting. Further, when the waiting time for receiving the command has elapsed without receiving the command for designating the big hit game state or the small hit game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is “out”. Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “0” which is the initial value. When the value of the effect process flag is updated, the special figure hit waiting process ends.

  The effect process during the small hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is "4". In the effect processing during the small hit, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like 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 set contents. . Further, in the small hitting production effect process, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to end the small hitting game state, the value of the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small hitting finish effect. The value is updated to a certain "5", and the effect processing during the small hit is finished.

  The small hit end production process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the production control process flag is "5". In the small hitting end effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like 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 setting contents. To execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value, and the small hit end effect processing is ended.

  The big hit midfield effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In this big hit mid effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect contents in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the setting contents. Further, in the big hit midfield effect process, the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the ending effect process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating termination of the big hit game state from the main board 11. It updates to "7" and finishes the big hit midfield effect process.

  The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the big hit game state, and performs various kinds of effect control of the ending effect at the end of the big hit game state based on the setting contents. Run. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value, and the ending effect process is ended.

  Further, the upper mounting member 037SG602A and the lower mounting member 037SG602B are fitted with the recessed portions 037SG610a, 037SG610b and the recessed portions 037SG613a, 037SG613b so as to sandwich the linear bushes 037SG606A, 037SG606B from above and below, and the fitting portions 037SG0G and the fitting portions 037SG0610G. It is integrated by being fixed by such as. When the upper mounting member 037SG602A and the lower mounting member 037SG602B are mounted on the linear bushes 037SG606A and 037SG606B, the bulging portion 037SG614 projects forward of the base member 037SG601.

  The drive mechanism 037SG603 includes an LED drive motor 037SG603A fixed to the base member 037SG601 and a gear 037SG603B fixed to the drive shaft 037SG603a of the LED drive motor 037SG603A. It is supposed to do. Therefore, when the LED drive motor 037SG603A is driven, the driving force is transmitted to the mounting member 037SG602 via the gear 037SG603B.

  The upper cover member 037SG604 is fixed to the base member 037SG601 so as to cover the guide groove 037SG601a and the LED drive motor 037SG603A. The lower cover member 037SG605 is fixed to the base member 037SG601 so as to sandwich the lower mounting member 037SG602B from below.

  The light guide plate LED037SG607 includes red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light emitting elements, and is a full-color LED capable of emitting light in seven colors. That is, the light guide plate LED037SG607 can emit light in a plurality of colors. The light guide plate LED037SG607 is configured to emit light with a plurality of luminances.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-9 to 8-12, the light emitting device 037SG600 is assembled on the upper side portion 037SG505H of the rear holding member 037SG505. Specifically, since the base member 037SG601 is fixed to the back surface of the upper side portion 037SG505H of the rear holding member 037SG505 with a screw or the like, most of the light emitting device 037SG600 is assembled in the rear holding member 037SG505. Is disposed on the back side of the rear holding member 037SG505. In addition, the bulging portion 037SG611 of the attachment member 037SG602 projects further forward than the base member 037SG601, and is arranged above the front holding member 037SG503, the rear holding member 037SG505, and the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  In a state where the light emitting device 037SG600 is assembled to the rear holding member 037SG505, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is arranged so as to be able to emit light downward facing the position directly above the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 (FIG. 8-10). Therefore, when the light guide plate LED037SG607 irradiates light downward, the light is incident from the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, and is directed toward the front surface side by the reflection portion provided in the first light guide plate 037SG511. A predetermined image can be emitted and displayed on the display section (front side) of the first light guide plate 037SG511 (see FIG. 8-20). Similarly to the light guide plate LED037SG607, the rib 037SG612L of the side wall part 037SG611d forming the bulging part 037SG611 and the rib 037SG612R of the side wall part 037SG611c forming the bulging part 037SG611 are located on the upper end face 037SG511 of the upper end face a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. (See FIGS. 8-11 and 8-12). The front wall portion 037SG611a forming the bulging portion 037SG611 is disposed above the upper side portion 037SG503H of the front holding member 037SG503.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (B), in particular, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is disposed above the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the dimension L10, and the rib 037SG612L (rib 037SG612R) is provided. The size L11 smaller than the size L10 is arranged above the first light guide plate 037SG511 so as to be separated (L10> L11). In other words, the rib 037SG612L (rib 037SG612R) functions as a protrusion that protrudes toward the first light guide plate 037SG511 side from the light guide plate LED037SG607. A plurality of decorative members 037SG615 are arranged between the upper end of the first light guide plate 037SG511 and the upper side 037SG503H of the front holding member 037SG503. The decorative member 037SG615 is arranged 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 mode 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 part 037SG614b in the mounting member 037SG602 via the gear 037SG603B, whereby the mounting member 037SG602 moves in the left-right direction. Has become. Further, the light guide plate LED037SG607 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 attachment member 037SG602 is movable along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, and the movable range of the attachment member 037SG602 is that the light guide plate LED037SG607 and the ribs 037SG612L, 037SG612R are the upper end surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511. It is at a predetermined position facing the 037SG511a. 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.

  Further, 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 lateral movement of the attachment member 037SG602 with respect to the base member 037SG601 is guided. Since the mounting member 037SG602 is mounted by the linear bushes 037SG606A and 037SG606B having low frictional resistance with respect to the shaft 037SG606, the mounting member 037SG602 can be smoothly slid along the shaft 037SG606.

  Further, an origin position sensor 037SG516 is provided on the rear surface side of the base member 037SG601, and the origin position sensor 037SG516 detects the position of the guide groove 037SG601a in the substantially central portion in the left-right direction. Further, on the rear surface side of the mounting member 037SG602, a detection piece 037SG602a running on the guide groove 037SG601a along with the guide groove 037SG601a along with the horizontal movement of the mounting member 037SG602 is provided, and the detection piece 037SG602a is The origin position sensor 037SG516 detects the attachment member 037SG602 when the attachment member 037SG602 is located at a substantially central position in the movable range.

  Specifically, when the detection piece 037SG602a is detected by the origin position sensor 037SG516, the mounting member 037SG602 is arranged at a first position (origin position, initial position) which is a substantially central position in the movable range (Fig. 8-14 (A)). Further, by rotating the gear 037SG603B forward by the LED drive motor 037SG603A from the state where the mounting member 037SG602 is in the first position (clockwise when viewed from above, see FIG. 8-13), the mounting member 037SG602 is moved to the right end in its movable range. It is arranged at the second position which is the position (see FIG. 8-14 (B)). Further, by rotating the gear 037SG603B in the reverse direction (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 moved within its movable range. It is arranged at the third position, which is the leftmost position (see FIG. 8-14 (C)).

  As described above, since the mounting member 037SG602 is movable in the left-right direction between the first position, the second position, and the third position, it is mounted so as to be relatively movable with respect to the base member 037SG601. Therefore, the mounting member 037SG602 carries the pachinko gaming machine 1, the mounting 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 shock or vibration caused by things. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-15, when the mounting member 037SG602 is close to the first light guide plate 037SG511 while being in a substantially horizontal direction, or when the mounting member 037SG602 is tilted with respect to the first light guide plate 037SG511. There are cases where they are close to each other.

  As shown in FIG. 8-15 (A), when the attachment member 037SG602 is close to the first light guide plate 037SG511 while being oriented in a substantially horizontal direction, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is closer to the first light guide plate 037SG511 than the light guide plate LED037SG607. Since the protruding ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R contact the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 before the light guide plate LED037SG607, the light guide plate LED037SG607 can prevent the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 from contacting.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (B), a state in which the right side wall portion 037SG611c of the mounting member 037SG602 is lower than the left side wall portions 037SG611d (the mounting member 037SG602 is inclined with respect to the first light guide plate 037SG511). Similarly, the rib 037SG612R protruding toward the first light guide plate 037SG511 side from the light guide plate LED037SG607 contacts the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 before the light guide plate LED037SG607. It is possible to prevent the light guide plate LED037SG607 from coming into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. Although the light guide plate LED037SG607 is arranged closer to the right side wall portion 037SG611c side of the mounting member 037SG602, the mounting member 037SG602 is arranged at a predetermined distance to the left side from the right side wall portion 037SG611c. Even when the light guide plate 037SG511 is approached in a tilted state, the light guide plate LED037SG607 has the upper end surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511 in comparison with the configuration in which the light guide plate LED037SG607 is arranged close to the right side wall portion 037SG611c. It is difficult to contact the 037SG511a.

  Although not shown, for example, when the mounting member 037SG602 rotates about the shaft 037SG606, the front wall portion 037SG611a of the mounting member 037SG602 contacts the upper side portion 037SG503H of the front holding member 037SG503 or the mounting member 037SG602. The rear wall part 037SG611b can prevent the light guide plate LED037SG607 from coming into contact with the upper side part 037SG505H of the rear holding member 037SG505 and the upper end face 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 (see FIGS. 8-10 to 8-12). ). Further, 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, and thus the first guide plate. Since the light plate 037SG511 is extended to the back side from the light plate 037SG511, when the mounting member 037SG602 rotates around the shaft 037SG606 to the back side (clockwise when viewed from the right side), the rib 037SG612L (rib) is formed before the light guide plate LED037SG607. 037SG612R) contacts 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 and The movable body device 037SG400 has a shape capable of covering 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 the plate thickness L15 of the board face plate made of a transparent synthetic resin material forming the game board 2 (for example, about 10 mm. Since it is thinner than), expansion and contraction may occur due to temperature change inside the pachinko gaming machine 1 in a state of being assembled to the pachinko gaming machine 1, as described later.

  In the pachinko game machine 1, the front side of the game board 2 is closed by a glass door frame 037SG50, the back side is closed by a cover body (not shown), and the inside closed by these glass door frame 037SG50 and the cover body. The space is provided with an image display device 5 including a liquid crystal display and a large number of heat sources such as a control board, LEDs, and drive sources (motors and solenoids). Therefore, since the internal temperature when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is operating is higher than when it is not operating, the first light guide plate 037SG511 provided between the image display device 5 and the glass window 037SG50a has a temperature of, for example, about 40 degrees. The change causes expansion and contraction of up to about 1.6 mm.

  Specifically, for example, in the case of the first light guide plate 037SG511, the warp tolerance (flatness intersection) is set to about 3 to 6 mm, so that, for example, the first light guide plate device 037SG500 is attached to the back surface of the game board 2. In the state, it is preferable that the distance between the game board 2 on the front side and the distance between the image display device 5 and other members on the rear side exceeds 6 mm.

  On the other hand, the first light guide plate device 037SG500 has a structure in which the first light guide plate 037SG511 is attached to the back surface side of the game board 2 with a part of the peripheral edge thereof being sandwiched by the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 from the front and rear. Therefore, there is a possibility that the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 may come into contact with the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 due to manufacturing dimensional tolerances, assembly errors, or the like, causing damage or damage. Therefore, there is a possibility that the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 may come into contact with each other and be damaged or damaged.

  Therefore, as described below, the first light guide plate device 037SG500 of the present characterizing part 037SG is designed to handle the temperature change inside the pachinko gaming machine 1, the dimensional tolerance in manufacturing, and the assembly error. The light guide plate 037SG511 is attached to the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 with a predetermined clearance.

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

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

  More specifically, the spacing dimension L20 between the straight line LN1 and the straight line LN2, the spacing dimension L21 between the straight line LN1 and the straight line LN3, and the spacing dimension L22 between the straight line LN4 and the straight line LN5 are the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 037SG511. It is made 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 a position more than twice the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 037SG511 from the upper end surface 037SG511a (the upper side of the first light guide plate 037SG511). The third hole 037SG511C is formed at a position away 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.

  Further, the first hole portion 037SG511A and the second hole portion 037SG511B are not only to the upper end surface 037SG511a (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. Since the holes are formed at positions twice or more the thickness dimension L15 (see FIGS. 8 to 10), the strength in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is appropriately maintained so that the holes do not significantly reduce the strength. .. Similarly, the third hole portion 037SG511C is not only separated from the right end surface 037SG511b but also from the peripheral edge of the first light guide plate 037SG511 by more than twice the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 037SG511 (see FIGS. 8-10). By being formed at the position, the strength in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is appropriately maintained so that the hole does not significantly reduce the strength.

  As shown in FIG. 8-18 (A), the diameter L1 of the first hole portion 037SG511A is slightly longer than the diameter L2 of the first positioning boss 037SG551 (L1> L2), but the first hole In a state where the first positioning boss 037SG551 is inserted into the portion 037SG511A, a left-right and up-down gap S1 (L1-L2) is hardly generated between the first hole portion 037SG511A and the first positioning boss 037SG551. That is, the first positioning boss 037SG551 is fitted into the first hole 037SG511A.

  The lateral dimension L3A of the second hole portion 037SG511B is longer than the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 037SG552 (L3A> L4), and the vertical dimension L3B of the second hole portion 037SG511B is the same as the second positioning boss 037SG552. It 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 gap 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 have almost 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, but does not allow it to move in the up-down direction.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8-18 (B), the vertical dimension L5A of the third hole portion 037SG511C is longer than the diameter L6 of the third positioning boss 037SG542 (L5A> L6), and the third hole portion The lateral dimension L5B of the 037SG511C is slightly longer than the diameter L6 of the second positioning boss 037SG552 (L5B> L6). Therefore, in the state where the third positioning boss 037SG542 is inserted in the third hole 037SG511C, a vertical gap S4 (L5A-L6) is generated between the third hole 037SG511C and the third positioning boss 037SG542. The gap S5 (L5B-L6) in the left-right direction 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 have almost the same size (S1 (L1-L2) = S5 (L5B-L6)). That is, the third hole portion 037SG511C allows the first light guide plate 037SG511 to move in the vertical direction with respect to the third positioning boss 037SG542, but does not allow the movement in the horizontal direction.

  The diameter L2 of the first positioning boss 037SG551 and the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 037SG552 are substantially the same size (L2 = L4), and the diameter L6 of the third positioning boss 037SG542 is the same as the first positioning boss 037SG542. It is smaller than the diameter L2 of the boss 037SG551 and the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 037SG552. In the characteristic portion 037SG, the diameter of the first positioning boss 037SG551 and the diameter of the second positioning boss 037SG552 are the same, but 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 the 037SG503 and the 037SG503. The gap S20 is formed over the entire surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511, and at any location, a size equal to or smaller 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, in the gap S20, the portion having the smallest front-rear width is about 0.2 mm, and thus the width in which the first light guide plate 037SG511 moves back and forth is extremely small.

  Next, thermal expansion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 will be described with reference to 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 the present characteristic portion 037SG, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-19, a corner portion (first light guide plate 037SG511) of the first light guide plate 037SG511 facing the first hole portion 037SG511A (upper right side of the first light guide plate 037SG511). The separation dimension L40 up to the lower left side) is about 442 mm, and in this case, the manufacturing dimensional tolerance is about ± 0.6 mm, and a maximum elongation of about 1.6 mm occurs with a temperature change of 40 degrees. Therefore, if the positions of the corners of the first light guide plate 037SG511 facing the first hole 037SG511A and the first hole 037SG511A 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 portion 037SG511A has a first positioning member for positioning. The boss 037SG551 is fitted, the second positioning boss 037SG552 is inserted at a substantially central position of the second hole 037SG511B in the left-right direction, and the third positioning boss is vertically positioned at a substantially central position of the third hole 037SG511C. 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 should move 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 on the front holding member 037SG503, the first hole 037SG511A extends radially (in the direction of the arrow in the drawing) with respect to the first hole 037SG511A. Will be done. Since the position of the corner portion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 facing the first hole portion 037SG511A is not fixed, extension in the diagonally lower left direction based on the first hole portion 037SG511A is allowed.

  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 the 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 work boss 037SG551 and the vertical gap S3 with the second positioning boss 037SG552 are small, the upward extension width from the first hole portion 037SG511A and the second hole portion 037SG511B should be kept small. You can Therefore, by extending the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 to the upper light guide plate LED037SG607, the distance from the light guide plate LED037SG607 is one position in the left-right direction (for example, the right position) and another position (for example, the following). The left side position), that is, the emission surface (lower surface) of the light guide plate LED037SG607 and the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 are misaligned, or the upper end surface 037SG511a contacts the light guide plate LED037SG607. By doing so, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is prevented 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, the leftward extension based on the first hole 037SG511A is allowed. As shown in FIG. 19 (B), even when the second hole 037SG511B is largely displaced to the left with respect to the second positioning boss 037SG552, the second positioning boss for positioning the first light guide plate 037SG511 at the front mounting position. Since it is possible to prevent the 037SG552 from being pressed and broken, it is possible to prevent the light incident from the light guide plate LED037SG607 to the upper end surface 037SG511a from being adversely affected due to the positional displacement with respect to the front holding member 037SG503 and the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  In addition, since the gap S1 between the first positioning boss 037SG551 and the first hole 037SG511A and the gap S5 between the third hole 037SG511C and the third positioning boss 037SG542 are small, the first hole 037SG511A and the third hole 037SG511A. The rightward extension width of the hole portion 037SG511C can be suppressed to be small. On the other hand, since the gap S4 between the third hole 037SG511C and the third positioning boss 037SG542 is larger than the gap S1, the downward extension based on the first hole 037SG511A is allowed, and thus FIG. As shown in FIG. 19 (B), even when the third hole portion 037SG511C is largely displaced downward with respect to the third positioning boss 037SG542, the third positioning portion for positioning the first light guide plate 037SG511 at the front mounting position. It is possible to prevent the boss 037SG542 from being pressed and broken.

  In addition, in FIG. 8-19, the case where the first light guide plate 037SG511 is thermally expanded has been described. In the case where the first light guide plate 037SG511 contracts, although not particularly shown, the first light guide plate 037SG511A radially contracts with respect to the first hole part 037SG511A, that is, the peripheral portion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 extends in the first hole part 037SG511A. Contracts to move towards.

  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 provided at a substantially central position of the third hole 037SG511C. By being inserted, movement of the second hole portion 037SG511B and the third hole portion 037SG511C toward the first hole portion 037SG511A side with respect to the second positioning boss 037SG552 and the third positioning boss 037SG542 is allowed, so that the second positioning is performed. The boss 037SG552 and the third positioning boss 037SG542 are prevented from being damaged.

  Next, an effect display mode by the first light guide plate device 037SG500 will be described based on FIG. 8-20. In the characteristic part 037SG, the effect using the first light guide plate device 037SG500 may be executed in the notice effect executed before the reach state, as shown in FIG. 8-31. It may be executed in a super reach effect executed after reaching the reach state.

  As described above, when the light of the light guide plate LED037SG607 is incident from the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, the light is reflected by the plurality of reflecting portions (not shown) provided on the first light guide plate 037SG511 to the front side. A predetermined image can be emitted and displayed on the display unit of the first light guide plate 037SG511. Specifically, as in the technique of the optical device shown in the above-mentioned prior art document, the reflecting portion provided in the first light guide plate 037SG511 is predetermined in the space on the front surface side of the first light guide plate 037SG511. It is designed to converge light at multiple positions in the front, back, left, right, up, and down. The three-dimensional image is formed. That is, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is capable of stereoscopic effect display.

  The production control CPU 120 can perform control to cause the light guide plate LED 037SG607 to emit light while moving the mounting 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 LED037SG607 with respect to each reflection 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 reflection portion is also the mounting member 037SG602. It is possible to perform an effect display in which the three-dimensional image displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 changes gradually with the movement of.

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

  In this characteristic part 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 mounting member 037SG602 is not moved from the first position, while in the super reach effect, the mounting member 037SG602 is moved from the first position to the second position and then 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, finally, the first position, A state in which the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R are positioned at the effect position for the operation of stopping at either the second position or the third position. Then, after that, 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 changes is displayed. It is executed 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 mounting member 037SG602, and controls the light emission in a predetermined light emission mode at the final position.

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

  Further, since the upper side portion 037SG503H has low translucency, it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the mounting member 037SG602. However, since the light leaks forward from the cutout portion 037SG611g of the bulging portion 037SG611, When the mounting member 037SG602 is moved while causing the light plate LED037SG607 to emit light, light leaking from the cutout portion 037SG611g is emitted to the front through the upper side portion 037SG503H. It is possible to make the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 appear to be changing in direction and shape.

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

  In the example shown in FIG. 8-22 (A), the command 8001H is a first variable display start command 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 that specifies the start of variable display in the 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 each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decoration symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. It is a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a design (also called a production design). Here, XXH indicates an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be any value that is 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 designated variation pattern.

  Command 8CXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is a production control command for designating a variable display result such as a special design or a decorative design. In the variable display result designation command, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (B), for example, a determination result (preliminary determination result) whether the variable display result (also referred to as a variable display result) is “out” or “big hit”. ), Or different EXT data is set according to a determination result (a jackpot type determination result) as to which of a plurality of types 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 pre-determined result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “probable variation big hit A” and the big hit type decided result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “probable variation big hit B” and the big hit type decided result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “probable variation big hit C” and the big hit type decided result. The command 8C04H is a fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “non-probable variation big hit” and the big hit type decided result. The command 8C05H is a sixth variable display result designation command for notifying a pre-determined result that the variable display result is “small hit”.

  The command 8F00H is a symbol determination command for designating the variable stop (determination) of the decorative symbol in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a game state designation command that designates the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the game state designation command, different EXT data is set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example. As a specific example, the command 9500H is the first game state designating command corresponding to the game state (low accurate low base state, normal state) in which neither the time saving control nor the probability variation control is performed, and the command 9501H performs the time saving control. On the other hand, the second gaming state designation command corresponding to the gaming state (low certainty high base state, time saving state) in which the probability variation control is not performed. Further, the command 9502H is the third game state designation command corresponding to the gaming state (high-probability low base state, no time saving probable variation state) in which the time variation control is performed but the time saving control is not performed, and the command 9503H is the time variation control and the probability variation. It is a fourth game state designation command corresponding to the game state (high-probability high-base state, time-shortening probability variation state) in which control is performed together.

  The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as "fanfare command") that designates the display of an effect image indicating the start of a big hit game or a small hit game. The command A1XXH is a special winning opening opening notification command for notifying that the special winning opening is in the open state in the big hit game state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after opening the special winning opening, which notifies that the special winning opening is in a changed state from the open state to the closed state in the big hit game state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command for designating the 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, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result or the big hit type determination result, for example, by setting the EXT data similar to the variable display result designation command. .. Alternatively, in the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-determined result and the big hit type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence in the variable display result designation command. .. In the special winning opening opening notification command or the special winning opening opening notification command, for example, in response to the number of times the round is executed (for example, “1” to “16”) in the normal opening jackpot state or the high-speed opening jackpot 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 starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) is generated. It is the 1st starting opening winning a prize designating command which notifies that the 1st starting condition in order to execute the special figure game which uses the 1st special figure in 1st special design indicator 4A is satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) is generated. , Is a second start opening winning a prize designation command for notifying that the second starting condition for executing the special drawing game using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied.

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

  Instead of the first reserved storage number notification command or the second reserved storage number notification command, a total reserved storage number notification command for notifying the total reserved storage number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command for notifying the 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 them, the command C4XXH is, as a winning determination result, whether or not the variable display result is a "big hit", and a determination result of a big hit type (probable change, inaccurate change, or sudden probability) and a small design command. Is. Further, the command C6XXH is a variation category command that indicates the determination result as to whether the random value for variation pattern determination is a variation pattern of "non-reach", "super reach", or "other" as the determination result at the time of winning. Is.

  It should be noted that the commands shown in FIG. 8-22 (A) are merely 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 the above command. For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the fact that a game ball has won at each winning opening, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41. A passage notification command, a notification command for notifying the remaining number of times the probability variation control or the time saving control is executed, or the like may be provided.

  FIG. 8-23 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random number values counted on the main substrate 11 side. As shown in FIG. 8-23, in the characteristic part 037SG, on the main substrate 11 side, a random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, a random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and a random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern. Numerical data indicating each of the random number MR4 for general-purpose display result determination is controlled to be countable. A random number value other than these may be used to enhance the game effect. The random number used to control the progress of such a game is also called a game random number.

  The random number circuit 104 may be any one that counts numerical data indicating a part 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, thereby random number values MR1 to MR4. You may make it count the numerical data which shows some.

  The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random number value used for deciding whether or not to control the variable display result such as the special symbol in the special figure game as a "big hit" to the big hit game state, for example, It takes a value in the range of "1" to "65536". The random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type is one of "probable variation big hit A", "probability variation big hit B", "probability variation big hit C", and "non-probability variation big hit" when the variable display result is "big hit". It is a random number value used for determining, and takes, for example, a value in the range of "1" to "100".

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

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

  FIG. 8-24 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 1 stored in the ROM 101. In the characteristic part 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. Alternatively, separate 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 the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the definite display of the fixed special symbol that becomes, whether or not to control the variable display result in the big hit game state as "big hit" is to determine based on the random value MR1 for special figure display result determination. This is a referenced table.

  In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the present feature section 037SG, depending on whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state, the time saving state (low certainty state), or the certainty changed state (high certainty state). The numerical value (judgment value) that is 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 "off."

  In the special figure display result determination table 1, the table data showing the judgment value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination is whether or not the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and is controlled in the big hit game state. It is the determination data assigned to the determination result. In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the present characteristic portion 037SG, when the gaming state is the definite change state (high-precision state), more determination values are obtained than when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state (low-precision state). It is assigned to the special map display result of "big hit". Thereby, in the probability variation state (high accuracy state) in which the probability variation control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the normal state or the time saving state (low accuracy state), the special figure display result is set to "big hit" and the big hit game state is controlled. Then, compared with the probability (about 1/300 in this feature section 037SG), the probability that it is determined to control the big hit game state as a "big hit" is about 1 (in this feature section 037SG, about 1). / 30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table 1, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the probability changing state (highly accurate state), it is determined to control the jackpot gaming state as compared to the normal state and the time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so that the probability of being increased becomes higher.

  8B shows an example of the configuration 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 the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the definite display of the fixed special symbol that becomes, whether or not to control the variable display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state is determined based on the random value MR1 for determining the special sign display result. Is a table that is referred to for.

  In the special figure display result determination table 2 in the feature section 037SG, regardless of whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state, the time saving state (low certainty state) or the certainty changed state (highly precise state). A numerical value (judgment value) that is compared with the random number 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 determination table 2, the table data indicating the judgment value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination is whether the special figure display result is "small hit" and is controlled to the small hit game state. This is the determination data 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” is different between the case of the special figure game of the first special figure and the case of the second special figure. There is. 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, it is set to “small hit”. The judgment value is not assigned. Therefore, as will be described later, the variable display of the second special figure is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special figure, and the second winning award formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is executed by executing the time saving control. In the high base state in which the winning of the mouth occurs and the variable display of the second special figure is frequently executed, the "small hit" hardly occurs, and the second start formed by the variable winning ball device 6B. In a high base state where the game ball easily enters the winning opening, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a small hit that cannot obtain a large number of game balls and prevent the game from being deteriorated.

  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 section 037SG, when it is determined to control the big hit game state with the special map display result as "big hit", based on the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination, one of a plurality of jackpot types. It is a table that is referred to when determining whether or not. In the jackpot type determination table, the special symbol variably displayed (variable display) in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (second symbol). 2 special symbol display device 4B (special game)), the numerical value (judgment value) that is compared with the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination is "non-probability variation jackpot", "probability variation jackpot A", " It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots, such as "stochastic jackpot B" and "stochastic jackpot C".

  Here, the big hit type in the main feature unit 037SG will be described with reference to FIG. 8-25 (B). In the main feature unit 037SG, the high-accuracy control and the time saving control after the end of the big hit game state are performed as the big hit types. "Probability variation big hit A" or "probability variation big hit B" that is executed and shifts to high accuracy high base state, and high accuracy low base state where high accuracy control is executed after completion of the big hit game state but time saving control is not executed "Probability variation big hit C" to shift, and "non-probability variation big hit" to shift to the low accuracy high base state by executing only the time saving control after the termination of the big hit game state is set.

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

  In addition, although not particularly shown, the small hitting game state in this feature part 037SG is changed twice to the first state in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is advantageous to the player, and the opening time is the same as the probability variation big hitting C. It is an open period (0.1 second in this characteristic part 037SG). After the small hit game is over, the game state immediately before the small hit game is succeeded.

  In other words, in this feature unit 037SG, when it is determined that the “probable variation big hit C” or the “small hit” is to be performed, the variable display is executed with the same variation pattern (PC1-1 shown in FIG. 8-26). At the same time, the chance eye is stopped and displayed as the variable display result, and the opening patterns of the special variable winning ball device 7 are the same. Therefore, from these variable display and the opening pattern of the special variable winning ball device 7, , It is not possible to distinguish whether it is the "probability variation big hit C" in which the probability variation control is executed or the "small hit" in which the previous gaming state is continued without the probability variation control being executed. After the big hit game and the small hit game are finished, it is possible to continue the game while expecting the player that the probability variation control is being executed.

  The high-accuracy control and the time-saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state of the probability-change big hit A or the probability-change big hit B are continuously executed until the big hit occurs again after the end of the big hit game state. Therefore, when the big hit which is generated again is the probability variation big hit A or the probability variation big hit B, since the high accuracy control and the time saving control are executed again after the big hit game state ends, the big hit game state does not go through the normal state. It becomes a so-called condominium state that occurs continuously.

  On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the big hit game state by the "non-probable variation big hit" is that a special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this feature section 037SG), or a special figure of the predetermined number of times. The game ends when the big hit game state is entered before the game is executed.

  In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 8-25 (A), “probable variation jackpot A”, “probable variation jackpot A”, “ The determination values are assigned differently to the jackpot types of "probable-variable jackpot B", "probable-variable jackpot C", and "non-probable-variable jackpot". That is, when the special display that is variably displayed is the first special drawing, the determination value (the value in the range of “81” to “100”) of the predetermined range is “probable variation jackpot B” or “probable variation that has a small number of rounds. When the special map that is variably displayed is the second special map while being assigned to the big hit type of "big hit C", the determination value is assigned to the big hit type of "probability variation big hit B" or "probability variation big hit C". Has not been done. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types on the basis 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 when the jackpot type is determined to be 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, it is possible to make the jackpot types different in the rate of determining the “probability variation jackpot B” or “probability variation jackpot C” with a small number of rounds. In particular, in the special drawing game using the second special drawing, the big hit type is set to "probable variation big hit B" or "probability variation big hit C", and it is not decided to control the normal open big hit state or the high speed open big hit state with a small number of rounds. Therefore, for example, by the high opening control accompanying the time saving control, in the gaming state in which the game ball is likely to enter the second start winning hole formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the frequent occurrence of the big hit state in which a small number of prize balls are obtained is avoided. It is possible to prevent the interest in playing games from deteriorating.

  In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 8-25 (A), the determination value is assigned to the "non-probable variation" jackpot type in the special figure game of the first special figure or in the second special figure. Since they are the same regardless of whether they are present or not, the probability of an uncertain variation big hit and the probability of a certain variation big hit are the same regardless of whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. It is said that.

  Therefore, as described above, depending on whether the determination values for the “probability variation big hit B” and the “probability variation big hit C” are different depending on whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Also, the allocation of the determination value to the "stochastic big hit A" is different depending on whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. It is set so that it can be determined more easily in the case of the special figure game of the special figure than in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure.

  Even in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment value of the predetermined range different from that in the special figure game of the first special figure is a big hit of "probable variation big hit B" or "certain variation big hit C". You may make it allocate to a classification. For example, in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment value smaller than that in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure is classified as a big hit type of "probability variation big hit B" or "probability variation big hit C". May be assigned. Alternatively, regardless of whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to common table data.

  FIG. 8-26 shows a variation pattern in the feature part 037SG. In the characteristic part 037SG, in the case where the variable display result is “out”, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is “non-reach” and “reach”. A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to the case where the display result is "big hit" or "small hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “out” and the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is “non-reach” is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as “non-reach variation pattern”), The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “out” and the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is “reach” is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as “reach out variation pattern”). Further, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the outlier variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "outlier". The 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 reach effect of normal reach is executed and a super reach variation pattern in which a reach effect of super reach such as super reach α and super reach β is executed. In addition, in the characteristic part 037SG, only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and like the normal reach α, the normal reach β, ... A plurality of normal reach variation patterns may be provided. Further, 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.

  The variation pattern in the characteristic part 037SG corresponds to the variation pattern of the special hit 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 variation 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 reach effect of the normal reach in this feature unit 037SG is executed is shorter than that of the super reach variation patterns super reach α and super reach β. It is set. Further, regarding the special figure 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 this feature unit 037SG is executed, the variation pattern in which the super reach reach effect of super reach β is executed In this case, the special map variable display time is set longer than the variation pattern in which the super reach effect of super reach α is executed.

  In the characteristic part 037SG, the variable display results are set in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach to be “big hit” excluding the probability variation big hit C, as described above. 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 variation big hit C.

  Further, in the characteristic part 037SG, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are determined first such as a non-reach type, a normal reach type, and a super reach type. After that, the variation pattern to be executed is not determined from the variation patterns belonging to the determined variation pattern, but 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, and, for example, in addition to the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, a random value for fluctuation pattern type determination is provided to The type of the fluctuation pattern is first determined from the random number of, and then the fluctuation pattern belonging to the determined type is executed. It may be determined that the variation pattern.

  FIG. 8-27 is an explanatory diagram of a variation pattern determination method in the feature unit 037SG. In the characteristic part 037SG, the variable pattern determination table to be selected is changed according to the display result of the variable display to be executed and the number of pending storages.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-27, when the variable display result is an uncertain variation big hit, the big hit variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern is selected using the big hit variation pattern determination table A. From PB1-1 (variation pattern of normal reach jackpot) and PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach jackpot). When the variable display result is the probability big hit A or the probability big hit B, the fluctuation pattern determination table B for the big hit is selected, and the variation pattern is determined by using the fluctuation pattern determination table A for the big hit PB1-1 (normal reach big hit). (Variation pattern) and PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach big hit).

  As shown in FIG. 8-27, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A and the jackpot variation pattern determination table B differ in the number of determination values assigned to PB1-1 and PB1-2. Specifically, in the jackpot 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 jackpot 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 the 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 the super reach variation pattern PB1 at a higher rate than when the variable display result is the uncertain variation big hit. Since it is decided to be -2, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the variation pattern in the variable display.

  Further, when the variable display result is a positive variation big hit C or a small hit, the special hit variation pattern determination table is selected, and the variation pattern is changed to PC1-1 (variation of special hits) using the special hit variation pattern determination table. Pattern). That is, in the characteristic part 037SG, the variable display is executed with the same variation pattern when the variable display result is the probability variation big hit C and the small hit, and therefore, the player performs variable display from the variation pattern. It is difficult to specify whether the result is a probability variation big hit C or a small hit.

  If the variable display result is “out” in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memories of the variation special map is 2 or less, the variation pattern determination table A for out is selected, The fluctuation pattern determination table A for deviation is used to determine the fluctuation pattern from PA1-1 (non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern), and PA2-2 (super reach deviation fluctuation pattern). To do.

  If the variable display result is “out” in the normal gaming state (low base state) and the number of pending storage of the variation special map is 3, the variation pattern determination table B for the outlier is selected and the out A variation pattern is determined from PA1-2 (non-reach short variation variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out variation variation pattern), and PA2-2 (super reach out variation variation pattern) using the use variation pattern determination table B for use. To do.

  If the variable display result is “out” in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of pending storages of the variation special map is four, the variation pattern determination table C for deviation is selected and the variation is lost. The variation pattern determination table C for use is used to determine the variation pattern from PA1-3 (short reach variation variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach variation variation pattern) and PA2-2 (super reach loss variation pattern). To do.

  When the variable display result is “out” in the time saving state (high base state), the out-of-shift variation pattern determination table D is selected, and the variation pattern is detected using the out-of-shift variation pattern determination table D. It is determined from (non-reach out-of-time shortening variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-range variation pattern), and PA2-2 (super reach out-of-range variation pattern).

  In other words, when the variable display result is “out of range” in the feature unit 037SG, the number of pending memories of the variation special map is 3, 4, etc., or the special figure is based on the time saving state. Since the variable display time is shorter than the normal non-reach out-of-range variation pattern (PA1-1), the variable patterns for shortening (PA1-2, PA1-3, PA1-4) increase the rate at which variable display is executed. While preventing the game from being delayed, it is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit.

  The RAM 102 in the characterizing unit 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. In this game control data holding area, a first special figure reservation storage section, a second special figure reservation storage section, a general figure reservation storage section, a game control flag setting section, a game control timer setting section, and a game. A control counter setting unit and a game control buffer setting unit are provided.

  The 1st special figure reservation storage section, the game ball passes (enters) the 1st starting winning a prize mouth which the winning a prize ball device 6A forms, the starting winning a prize (the 1st starting winning a prize) occurs, but the special drawing which is not started yet The pending data of the game (special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. As an example, the 1st special figure reservation storage section associates with the reservation number in the winning order (detection order of the game ball) to the first start winning port, and establishes the first start condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball. As the pending data, the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination, the random number value MR2 for the jackpot type determination, the numerical value data MR3 for the variation pattern determination, etc. , And is stored until the stored number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”). The pending data thus stored in the first special figure pending storage unit indicates that execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is pending, and the variable display result (special figure display result in this special figure game is displayed. ), It becomes the hold information that enables the determination as to whether or not a big hit will occur.

  The second special figure reservation storage unit, the game ball has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, and the starting winning (second starting winning) has occurred, but has not been started yet. The pending data of the figure game (a 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 reservation storage unit associates the winning number into the second starting winning opening (detection order of gaming balls) with the holding number, and establishes the second starting condition in passing (entry) of the gaming ball. The numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination, the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, etc. extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on , Until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”). The pending data thus stored in the second special figure pending storage unit indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is pending, and the variable display result (special figure display result in this special figure game is displayed. ), It becomes the hold information that enables the determination as to whether or not a big hit will occur.

  In addition, the game ball has passed (entered) the hold information (first hold information) based on the establishment of the first start condition due to the game ball passing (entry) through the first start winning port and the second start prize port. The hold information (second hold information) based on the establishment of the second start winning due to this may be stored in the common hold storage unit in association with the hold number. In this case, start port data indicating which of the first start winning port and the second start winning port the game ball has passed (entered) is included in the hold information and stored in association with the hold number. .

  Further, in the RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12, an effect control data holding area is provided 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 characteristic part 037SG, the data forming the start-up winning-time reception command is stored in the start-up winning-time reception command buffer provided in a predetermined area of the effect control buffer setting section. In the start winning award reception command buffer, a storage area (buffer numbers “1-1” to “1-4”) corresponding to the maximum value (eg, “4”) of the total number of reserved memories of the first special figure reservation memory Area) 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 award reception command buffer, a storage area (buffer numbers “2-1” to “2-4”) corresponding to the maximum value (eg, “4”) of the total reserved storage numbers of the second special figure reserved storages. Area) 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 winning prize to the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening, a starting opening winning designation command (first starting opening winning designation command or second starting opening winning designation command), symbol designating command, variable category designation Four commands, that is, a command and a reserved storage number notification command (a first reserved storage number notification command or a second reserved storage number 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 reservation storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure reservation storage in the start winning award reception command buffer are these start mouth winning designation command, symbol designation command, variation category designation command, hold A storage area (entry) for separately storing the first special figure reserved storage and the second special figure reserved storage is ensured in association with the storage number notification command.

  The storage contents of these storage areas (entries) will be described later when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the highest-order reserved storage (buffer number “1-1” or buffer number “2-1”) is started. As described above, the storage contents of the buffer number “1-0” or the buffer number “2-0” that stores the contents of the pending storage satisfying the start condition are displayed in the variable display. It is adapted to be cleared in the decorative pattern variation stop processing which is executed when terminating.

  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 using the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-28.

  In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first fluctuation start command reception flag is set (step 037SG271). When the first variation start command reception flag is set, the various command data and the various flags stored in the first special figure reserved memory in the start prize winning command buffer of the RAM 122 are shifted (step 037SG272). Buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” are assigned to the first special figure reservation storage, 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" cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift, so they are erased.

  If the first fluctuation start command reception flag is not set in step 037SG271, it is determined whether the second fluctuation start command reception flag is set (step 037SG273). When the second variation start command reception flag is not set, the variable display start setting processing is ended, and when the second variation start command reception flag is set, the second variation start command reception command buffer second Various command data and various flags stored in the special figure reservation storage are shifted (step 037SG274). Buffer numbers “2-0” to “2-4” are assigned to the second special figure reservation storage, and various command data and various flags can be stored in their 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. The contents of the buffer number “2-0” cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift, so the contents are erased.

  After executing Step 037SG272 or Step 037SG274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (Step 037SG275).

  Then, the display result of the decorative design (stop design) is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (step 037SG276). In this case, the CPU 120 for effect control determines the stop design of the decorative design according to the display result designated by the display result designating command, and the data indicating the determined stop design of the decorative design is stored in the decorative design display result storage area of the RAM 122. To store.

  In the characteristic part 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, 3 symbols as a stop symbol is “7. The combination of decorative patterns (big hit pattern) that are aligned in “” is determined. Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit B, as a stop symbol, a plurality of combinations of odd symbols other than “7” (for example, “111”, A combination of decorative patterns such as “333”, “555”, and “999”). Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit C, as a stop symbol, "334" and "778", which are the same chances as the small hit, are displayed. Determine from inside. Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the fifth variable display result designation command corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit, the CPU 120 for effect control, for example, of the decorative design in which three symbols are arranged in even symbols as the stop symbol. Determine the combination (big hit pattern). Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the sixth variable display result designation command corresponding to the small hit, as a stop symbol, "334" and "778" which are the same chances as the probability variation big hit C Determine from inside. Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the outlier, it is a decorative design in which three designs are non-uniform as a stop design, and the combination other than the above-mentioned chance Determine (outlier pattern).

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

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes the notice effect determination process, and determines whether or not to execute the notice effect in the variable display and, if the notice effect is to be performed, determine the type thereof (step 037SG277).

  In step 037SG277, the "notice effect A", "notice effect B", and "no notice effect" are determined by the judgment value and the random number value in the not-shown notice effect determination table at the ratios shown in FIG. 8-29. It is decided based on.

  "Preliminary notice effect A" is a notice effect that the character image is displayed on the image display device 5 at a predetermined timing before the reach state is reached. “Preliminary effect B” is a preliminary effect that the display by the first light guide plate device 037SG500 is executed at a predetermined timing before the reach state is reached.

  In this characteristic part 037SG, as shown in FIG. 8-29, the variable display result is “big hit” excluding the probability variation big hit C, “super reach is out”, and “non-reach is out”. In each case, "notice effect A", "notice effect B", and "no notice effect" are determined at different ratios. Specifically, when the variable display results are a probability big hit A, a probability big hit B, and a non-probability big hit, the "notice effect A" is 25%, the "notice effect B" is 65%, and the "notice "No effect" is determined at a rate of 10%. When the variation pattern is out of super reach, the "notice effect A" is 50%, the "notice effect B" is 30%, and the "no notice effect" is 20%. It Further, in the case where the variation pattern is out of reach, the ratio of “notice effect A” is 10%, “notice effect B” is 5%, and “no notice effect” is “notice effect A”. It is determined at a rate of 85%.

  That is, in the variable display, when the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit B, and the non-probability variation big hit, the notice effect is more likely to be executed and the "note notice effect B" is executed than when the super reach or the normal reach is lost. It is easy to be done. Further, in the case where the super-reach is out, the "notice effect A" is easily executed. In the case of non-reach out, it is easier to determine "no notice effect" than in the case of probability variation big hit A, probability variation big hit B, non-probability variation big hit, or in case of super-reach failure.

  When the type and the non-execution of the notice effect are determined at the ratios shown in FIG. 8-29, the super reach is missed if the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit B, and the probability variation big hit are not displayed on the variable display. Compared to the case where the normal reach is lost, the “notice effect B” by the first light guide plate 037SG511 is more easily determined, and the case where the super reach is lost is more than the case where the other normal reach is lost. Is also set so that the “advance notice effect A” can be easily determined. On the other hand, in the case where the non-reach is lost in the variable display, "no notice effect" is determined more than in the variable display in which the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit B, the non-probability variation big hit, and the super reach loss. It is set to be easy.

  By setting in this way, the probability that the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit B or the non-determination variation big hit is higher when the notice performance is executed than when the notice effect is not executed. . Further, in the notice production, when the notice production B is executed, there is a higher expectation that the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big jackpot B, or the non-probability variation big hit is generated when the notice production A is executed. .

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

  The expectation (reliability) of each notice effect is the probability that each notice effect is executed and becomes a probability variation big hit A, a probability variation jackpot B, or a non-probability variation jackpot (a probability variation jackpot A, a probability variation jackpot B, or a non-probability variation jackpot B of each notification effect). Probability when it becomes a probability variation jackpot) Probability that each announcement effect is executed and it is a probability variation jackpot A, a probability variation jackpot B, or a non-probability variation jackpot, and each notification effect is performed, a probability variation jackpot A, a probability variation jackpot B, or a non-determination variation. It is a number divided by the sum of the probabilities of not being a big hit (probability of execution of each notice effect).

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

  When the notice effect execution determination flag is set, the notice effect start waiting timer is set to a period corresponding to the notice effect determined as the period until the notice effect starts (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 passing through step 037SG279 and step 037SG280.

  In step 037SG281, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) according to the change pattern designated by the change pattern designation command, the presence or 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 control of sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. 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 chronological order in association with each process data n (1 to N). .

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays an effect device (image display as effect parts) 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). The control of the device 5, various lamps as production parts, speakers 8L and 8R as production parts, and operation section (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (step 037SG283). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image according to the variation pattern on the image display device 5. Further, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14 in order to perform lighting / extinguishing control of various lamps. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound 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). Also, 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-right decorative design to the VRAM every time the predetermined time has passed, 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 pattern is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect display during variable display (step S172) (step 037SG286).

  FIG. 8-30 is a flowchart showing the effect display process during variable display (step S172) in the effect control process processing. In the effect display during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the values of the process timer, the variable display time timer, and the variable display control timer by -1 (step 037SG301, step 037SG302, step 037SG303). Further, the effect control CPU 120 has the advance notice start waiting timer set (determined to perform advance notice effect) or the advance notice effecting flag set (while advance notice effect is being executed). In some cases, reference is made to the notice production process table in which the notice production process data is set for each type of notice production, and the passage of the period corresponding to each process data or the production operation is detected. By switching the control of the device, the notice effect process for executing the notice effect according to the type stored in the RAM 122 is executed (step 037SG305). If neither the notice effect execution determination flag nor the notice effect executing flag is set, the process proceeds to step 037SG306 without executing the notice effect process of 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 037SGS307). That is, the process timer is newly started 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, the lamp control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc. which are set next (step 037SGS309a). On the other hand, when the process timer has not timed out, the production device (for production) 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 is timed out, the effect control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the left-middle-right decorative design (screen that should be displayed 30 ms after the previous decorative design display switching time). Image data is created and written in a predetermined area of VRAM (step 037SG311). In this way, in the image display device 5, variation control of the decorative pattern is realized. The display control unit 123 sends to the image display device 5 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. Output. In this way, the image display device 5 displays the background image in the variation of the decorative design, the flying object image corresponding to the movable body, the character image, and the decorative design. Also, the variable display control timer is reset to a predetermined value (step 037SG312).

  Moreover, the CPU 120 for effect control confirms whether or not the variable display time timer has timed out (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 special figure per wait process (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 according to the special figure per wait process (step S173) (step 037SG315). Even if the variable display time timer has not timed out, it shifts to control to stop the fluctuation when the symbol confirmation designation command is received, so, for example, a fluctuation pattern command showing a long fluctuation time due to noise between boards Even when it is received, it is possible to end the variation of the decorative pattern when the regular variation time has elapsed (when the variation of the special symbol ends).

  In the process table used for the variation control of the decorative design, the process data in the variable display of the decorative design is set. That is, the sum of the process timer set values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the variation time of the decorative pattern. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n is timed out in the processing of step 037SG306, there is no process data to be switched (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.), and the decorative symbol 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 main feature portion 037SG will be described. As shown in FIGS. 8-31 and 8-32, as the effects for causing the first light guide plate 037SG511 to emit light during the variable display in the characteristic part 037SG, the notice effect B and the reach effect of the super reach β are as described above. Is provided.

  Of these, the notice effect B is the stereoscopic image Z1 on the first light guide plate 037SG511 (FIG. 8) by turning on the light guide plate LED037SG607 from the mounting member 037SG602 arranged at the first position at a predetermined timing before the reach is established. (See -20) is a display effect. That is, since the notice effect B is an effect in which the mounting member 037SG602 including the light guide plate LED037SG607 does not move from the first position to the second position or the third position, the stereoscopic image Z1 on the first light guide plate 037SG511 is the stereoscopic image Z2. It is an effect that does not change to the three-dimensional image Z3 (see FIG. 8-20). Furthermore, the notice effect B is also an effect that does not involve driving the accessory driving motor 037SG401, that is, does not involve operation between the movable body 037SG403L and 037SG403R between the standby position and the effect position.

  On the other hand, in the reach effect of the super reach β, the LED driving motor 037SG603A is driven to repeatedly move the mounting member 037SG602 to the first position, the second position, and the third position 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 or the stereoscopic image Z3.

  Specifically, as the reach effect of the super reach β, first, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned on, and the mounting member 037SG602 is moved from the first position to the second position for a predetermined period while the light guide plate LED037SG607 is kept on. For example, it is moved for 3 seconds. At this time, the three-dimensional image Z1 is displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the light guide plate LED037SG607, and then the three-dimensional image Z1 is moved according to the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 from the first position to the second position. Changes to.

  Next, the mounting member 037SG602 is moved from the second position to the first position over a predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds). At this time, the three-dimensional image Z2 is displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the light guide plate LED037SG607, and then the three-dimensional image Z2 is moved according to the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 from the second position to the first position. Changes to.

  Next, the mounting member 037SG602 is moved from the first position to the third position for a predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds). At this time, on the first light guide plate 037SG511, the three-dimensional image Z1 is emitted and displayed by the light guide plate LED037SG607, and then the three-dimensional image Z3 is generated according to the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 from the first position to the third position. Changes to.

  Then, the mounting member 037SG602 is moved from the third position to the first position over a predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds). At this time, on the first light guide plate 037SG511, the three-dimensional image Z3 is displayed by the light guide plate LED037SG607, and then the three-dimensional image Z1 is moved according to the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 from the third position to the first position. Changes to.

  In the reach effect of the super reach β, the mounting member 037SG602 moves from the first position to the second position, the second position to the first position, the first position to the third position, and the third position to the first position as described above. By repeatedly performing the above, the first light guide plate 037SG511 has the stereoscopic image Z1 continuous to the stereoscopic image Z2, the stereoscopic image Z2 to the stereoscopic image Z1, the stereoscopic image Z1 to the stereoscopic image Z3, and the stereoscopic image Z3 to the stereoscopic image Z1. Displayed while changing. The light emission display of these three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 on the first light guide plate 037SG511 ends when the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned off after the mounting member 037SG602 stops at the first position.

  In this way, the notice effect B and the reach effect of the super reach β in the feature part 037SG are execution timing, presence / absence of a mode change of the image (stereoscopic image) displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511, the movable body 037SG403L, The effect is different whether or not the 037SG403R is operated.

  More specifically, the reach effect of the super reach β will be described. As shown in FIG. 8-32, first, in the reach effect of the super reach β, when the light guide plate LED037SG607 is started to be turned on, 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. Further, from the timing when the light guide plate LED037SG607 is turned on, 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 position is completed, one movable body is formed by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R at the effect position.

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

  When the moving bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R have been moved to the standby positions, the image display device 5 displays the flying body corresponding to the one flying body formed by the moving bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R as the flying body corresponding to the one flying body. The display (first display) of the image of the flying body having substantially the same shape and size as the above is started.

  It should be noted that the first display as a display corresponding to the flying body in the image display device 5 changes to the second display in which the color arrangement and shape are partially different from those of the first flying body and the first display as time passes.

  In addition, turning on / off the light guide plate LED037SG607, driving the LED drive motor 037SG603A (moving the mounting member 037SG602), and driving the accessory drive motor 037SG401 (movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R) in the reach effect of the super reach β in the feature part 037SG. Movement), display of an image corresponding to a flying object, and the like are control contents described in the process data in the process table selected in the variable display start setting process. That is, turning on / off the light guide plate LED037SG607, driving the LED driving motor 037SG603A (moving the mounting member 037SG602), driving the accessory driving motor 037SG401 (moving the movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R), displaying an image corresponding to the flying body, etc. The effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display start setting process and the variable display effect process, so that the control is performed according to the set process timer value and the process data corresponding to the set process timer value.

  Next, the production mode of the reach production of the super reach β in the characteristic unit 037SG will be described based on FIGS. 8-33 to 8-36. First, as shown in FIG. 8-33 (A), when the reach effect of the super reach β is started, the mounting member 037SG602 including the light guide plate LED037SG607 is arranged at the first position, and the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R are on standby. It is difficult for the player to see because it is placed in a position. Although not particularly shown, the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the reach effect of the super reach β.

  At a predetermined timing in this state, as shown in FIGS. 8-33 (B) and 8-33 (C), the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R move from the standby position to the effect position, and at the effect position, 1 is set. Form a flying vehicle. Further, on the image display device 5, an effect image is displayed instead of the image corresponding to the reach effect described above. Further, when the light guide plate LED037SG607 is started to be turned on, a stereoscopic image of a bird is displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  As described above, by moving the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R to the effect position, displaying the effect image on the image display device 5, and displaying the stereoscopic image Z1 on the first light guide plate 037SG511, FIG. 8-33 (C). As shown in, the effect image, the flying object formed by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R, and the stereoscopic image Z1 are recognized by the player in an overlapping manner.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8-34 (D), when the mounting member 037SG602 including the light guide plate LED037SG607 moves from the first position to the second position, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is overlapped with the flying body. The stereoscopic image Z2 is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-34 (E), when the mounting member 037SG602 moves from the second position to the third position via the first position, the first light guide plate 037SG511 overlaps the flying body. The stereoscopic image Z3 is displayed at.

  After that, the mounting member 037SG602 repeats the reciprocating movement between the second position and the third position passing through the first position until a predetermined period elapses. 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 when viewed from the player, and the stereoscopic image Z3 is viewed from the player. This is an image of a bird tilted to the right when viewed. Therefore, the mounting member 037SG602 repeats the reciprocating movement between the second position and the third position via the first position, so that the player alternately displays the birds that are overlapped and displayed on the flying body left and right. It is visually recognized as being displayed while tilted to.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8-34 (F), when a predetermined period elapses after the flying body is formed at the effect position by the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R, the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R are directed from the effect position to the standby position. To move. Note that the display of the effect image on the image display device 5, the reciprocating movement of the mounting member 037SG602 between the second position and the third position, and the lighting of the light guide plate LED 037SG607 are maintained. In other words, the display of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, Z3 on the first light guide plate 037SG511 (stereoscopic image Z1 → stereoscopic image Z2 → stereoscopic image Z1 → stereoscopic image Z3) even while the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R are moving from the effect position to the standby position. Since the switching display of the stereoscopic image Z1 ...) is continued, the player pays attention to the switching display of these stereoscopic image Z1 → stereoscopic image Z2 → stereoscopic image Z1 → stereoscopic image Z3 → stereoscopic image Z1. Then, the movement of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R from the effect position to the standby position can be executed without being conspicuous to the player.

  After the movement of the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R from the effect position to the standby position is completed, as shown in FIGS. 8-35 (G) to 8-35 (I), in addition to the effect image, Then, the display of the aircraft corresponding display (first display) is started. It should be noted that the display corresponding to the flying body is a state in which the flying body is horizontal as seen from the player, a state in which the flying body is tilted to the left as seen from the player, and a state in which the flight body is leaned to the right as viewed from the player. Is displayed while changing. The display corresponding to the flying object is displayed so as to overlap the stereoscopic image Z1, the stereoscopic image Z2, and the stereoscopic image Z3 corresponding to the effect position. Furthermore, the state of the display corresponding to the flying object changes in accordance with the switching display of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, Z3 which are displayed by light emission on the first light guide plate 037SG511.

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

  That is, the display corresponding to the flying body changes to a state corresponding to the change destination of each of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 according to the switching display of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3. Therefore, 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 while being continuously displayed on the flying object corresponding display of the first display. To be seen as if

  Finally, as shown in FIGS. 8-36 (J) to 8-36 (L), the display corresponding to the flying body is switched from the first display to the second display. For this reason, it seems that the bird is displayed while being tilted to the left and right in a state in which the bird that has been overlapped and displayed on the flight object correspondence display of the first display is continuously displayed on the second display and the flight object correspondence display. To be seen. It should be noted that, in accordance with the switching display of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3, the change to the state according to the change destination of each three-dimensional image Z1, Z2, Z3 continues even in the aircraft corresponding display after switching to the second display. Is executed.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-33 to 8-36, in the reach effect of super reach β, after moving the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R from the effect position to the standby position, the image display device 5 displays the corresponding objects. By starting the display, and further changing the display corresponding to the flying body from the first display simulating the flying body formed by the movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R to the second display partially different in color and shape from the flying body, Since the player can visually recognize that the movable bodies 037SG403L and 037SG403R have been deformed (changed from the shape of the first display to the shape of the second display), the effect of production can be improved.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 described in this feature section 037SG, the light emitting means (for example, the light guide plate LED037SG607) and the light from the light emitting means are emitted from the end surface (for example, the upper end surface 037SG511a). A light guide plate (for example, a first light guide plate 037SG511) capable of performing an effect display by being incident, and a mounting member (for example, a mounting member 037SG602) to which the light emitting unit is mounted are provided. , A projecting portion that is movably provided and projects toward the light guide plate side with respect to the light emitting means (for example, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is arranged above the first light guide plate 037SG511 by a dimension L10 and is spaced apart from the rib). The 037SG612L (rib 037SG612R) is the first light guide plate for the dimension L11 larger than the dimension L10. 37SG511 and is arranged above the SGSG 511 so as to be spaced apart from the SGSG 511. See FIG. 8-10). It opposes the end face of the light plate (for example, the movable range of the mounting member 037SG602 is a predetermined position where the light guide plate LED037SG607 and the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R face the upper end face 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. (See FIGS. 8-12 and 8-14). By doing so, it is possible to prevent the light guide plate LED037SG607 from coming into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 and being damaged.

  Specifically, the light guide plate LED 037SG607 attached to the attachment member 037SG602 is an ultra-high brightness LED for clearly displaying the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 on the first light guide plate 037SG511, and is an LED of normal brightness. Since it is expensive in comparison, the mounting member 037SG602 is movably mounted in the left-right direction, and one light guide plate LED037SG607 is used to perform an effect display that changes the image displayed on the display unit of the first light guide plate 037SG511. As a result, the effect display for changing the image can be performed at a lower cost than a case where a plurality of light guide plate LEDs 037SG607 (high-brightness LEDs) are provided and the image is changed by changing the light emitting portion.

  The mounting member 037SG602 is mounted so as to be movable in the left-right direction, and a slight relative movement is permitted with respect to the base member 037SG601 so that the moving operation can be performed smoothly. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be transported. , The mounting member 037SG602 may move, the game ball may be launched into the game area 10, and other movable objects (movable bodies 037SG403L, 037SG403R, etc.) may move up and down due to shock or vibration. The light guide plate LED037SG607 may come into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 and be damaged. In addition, 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 the thickness L15 of the board face plate made of a transparent synthetic resin material that constitutes the game board 2 (for example, Since it is thinner than about 10 mm, expansion and contraction may occur due to temperature change inside the pachinko gaming machine 1 when assembled in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first light guide plate 037SG511 thermally expands. By doing so, the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 may be close to the light guide plate LED037SG607 and may be easily contacted.

  In the characteristic portion 037SG, the light guide plate LED037SG607 is arranged above the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the dimension L10 and is spaced apart from the first light guide plate 037SG511, and the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R are smaller than the first light guide plate 037SG511 by the dimension L11. Are also spaced apart above (L10> L11). That is, the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R project toward the first light guide plate 037SG511 side from the light guide plate LED037SG607, and when the mounting member 037SG602 is close to the first light guide plate 037SG511, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is located above the light guide plate LED037SG607. Since the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R protruding to the side contact the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 before the light guide plate LED037SG607, the light guide plate LED037SG607 contacts and damages the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. Can be prevented.

  Further, since the mounting member 037SG602 can move along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, the effect of production can be enhanced. Specifically, in the movement 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 LED037SG607 is always arranged above the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. According to this, by moving the mounting member 037SG602 while illuminating the light guide plate LED037SG607, the incident angle of light with respect to each reflection part provided in the first light guide plate 037SG511 changes, so that the light is converged by each reflection part. The converged point and the converged line also move along with the movement of the mounting member 037SG602, and a stereoscopic image (for example, stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, Z3) displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 is gradually changed. It can be carried out.

  Further, 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, so that the mounting member 037SG602 is located at any position in the left-right direction (for example, the first position). , 2nd position, 3rd position), even when the first light guide plate 037SG511 is approached, the light guide plate LED037SG607 contacts the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 before the light guide plate LED037SG607. The first light guide plate 037SG511 can be prevented from coming into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a and being damaged.

  Further, in the characteristic part 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, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention is not limited to this, and if it is provided at a position projecting from the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 than the light guide plate LED037SG607, for example, the lower end surfaces of the left and right side wall portions 037SG611c, 037SG611d. May function as a protrusion.

  In the characteristic part 037SG, the mounting member 037SG602 is exemplified to move along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the light guide plate LED037SG607 is the first. When the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R are opposed to the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 when the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R are opposed to the upper end surface 037SG511a of the light guide plate 037SG511, the operation direction of the mounting member 037SG602 can be freely changed. You may. For example, the mounting member 037SG602 may be configured to 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 is configured to move, for example, in the front-back (substantially horizontal) direction between a predetermined position facing the 037SG511a and a retracted position where the light guide plate LED037SG607 does not face the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511. Good.

  Further, the mounting member 037SG602 having the ribs 037SG612L and 037SG612R is formed in a box shape that opens downward so that the LED substrate 037SG609 having the light guide plate LED037SG607 can be accommodated, so that the light from the light guide plate LED037SG607 is diffused around. Can be prevented.

  Further, since the first light guide plate 037SG511 is capable of stereoscopic effect display, it is possible to enhance the effect of effect. Specifically, on the back surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511, there are provided a plurality of reflecting portions in a concavo-convex state (rough surface). The light is converged at a plurality of positions, and three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 are formed in the space by the convergence points and the convergence lines where the light is converged. That is, the player can feel the depth by producing a three-dimensional effect, so that the effect of the effect is enhanced. A known polarization method or parallax barrier method for visually recognizing an image corresponding to the parallax of the right eye and the left eye of the player may be adopted as a method of performing the stereoscopic effect display.

  Further, 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 LED037SG607 includes red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light emitting elements, and is a full-color LED capable of emitting light in seven colors. Control of changing (changing) the color emitted by the light guide plate LED037SG607 can be performed 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, Z3 are changed while changing the directions and shapes of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 by moving the mounting member 037SG602. Since it is possible to change, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation while enhancing the effect of production.

  In addition, since the light guide plate LED037SG607 can be changed in direction and shape by moving the light guide plate LED037SG607 to the left and right during the stereoscopic effect display in this manner, the light guide plate LED037SG607 can be moved to the first position. Compared to a case where a plurality of 1 light guide plates 037SG511 are arranged along the end face to perform the same stereoscopic effect display, the directions, shapes, etc. of the stereoscopic images Z1, Z2, Z3 change smoothly so as not to change stepwise. Can be made.

  Further, 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 be capable of emitting 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 perform control to change the brightness of the light emitted by. According to this, it is possible to change the brightness and darkness of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 while changing the directions and shapes of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 by the movement of the mounting member 037SG602, thus enhancing the effect. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation.

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

  Note that the form of the effect display is an example, and can be freely changed. For example, the effect control CPU 120 is not limited to the one that constantly turns on the light guide plate LED 037SG607 while the mounting member 037SG602 is being moved, and is turned off when the mounting member 037SG602 is moved, and is turned on and then turned on, or mounted. The blinking may be repeated while moving the member 037SG602. In addition, when the mounting member 037SG602 is turned off when moving, and when the mounting member 037SG602 is stopped and then turned on, the upper side portion 037SG503H makes it difficult for the player to view the mounting member 037SG602. It becomes extremely difficult to predict the position. As a result, the player does not know which position the mounting member 037SG602 has moved until the light guide plate LED037SG607 is lit, and thus the player can be interested in the movement of the mounting member 037SG602.

  In addition, it is possible to control to an advantageous state advantageous to the player (for example, a big hit game state) according to the establishment of a predetermined condition, and the mounting member 037SG602 and the light guide plate LED037SG607 are provided so as to be difficult for the player to visually recognize, and the predetermined The position (for example, the position where the light guide plate LED037SG607 faces the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511) is the first position (for example, the first position) and the second position (for example, the second position) different from the first position. Position and third position), and the advantageous degree (expectation degree) varies depending on whether the light guide plate LED037SG607 emits light in the first position or the second position. By doing so, the effect of production can be enhanced.

  Specifically, in the characteristic part 037SG, the expectation of the big hit is the lowest when the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 is stopped at the first position (when the stereoscopic image Z1 is displayed), and the movement of the mounting member 037SG602 is the first. When the movement of the attachment member 037SG602 is higher than when the movement of the attachment member 037SG602 is stopped at the first position when the movement of the attachment member 037SG602 is stopped at the third position (when the stereoscopic image Z2 is displayed). Since the expectation level of the big hit is set to be highest (when the stereoscopic image Z3 is displayed), which position of the first position, the second position, and the third position the mounting member 037SG602 stops for the player? (Which of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 is displayed) It is possible to make the player interested. Further, by changing the color and brightness (luminance) of the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 that are emitted according to the expectation of a big hit, it is possible to make the player more interested. The degree of expectation of a big hit at each stop position of the mounting member 037SG602 can be freely changed.

  Further, the mounting member 037SG602 and the light guide plate LED037SG607 are arranged on the back side of the upper side portion 037SG503H of the front holding member 037SG503, which makes it difficult for the player to see. That is, it is difficult for the player to predict which position of the first position, the second position, and the third position the mounting member 037SG602 will stop, so that the player can be interested. Further, it may be concealed by a structure other than the front holding member 037SG503, a movable body for production, or the like so that it is difficult for the player to visually recognize it.

  It should be noted that the mounting member 037SG602 and the light guide plate LED037SG607 may be provided so as to be difficult for the player to visually recognize. 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, and are moved. It is possible to camouflage the attachment member 037SG602 so that it is difficult to identify the attachment member 037SG602 by operating the body and the LED at the same time as the attachment member 037SG602, and to make the attachment member 037SG602 difficult for the player to see by providing the LED that irradiates the player side. For example, the visibility may be made difficult by a method other than the concealment by the structure.

  Further, the first light guide plate 037SG511 is provided with a front holding member 037SG503 and a rear holding member 037SG505 as attached parts, and the attached part serves as a boss for positioning the first light guide plate 037SG511 with respect to the light guide plate LED037SG607. It 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. Is the first light guide plate 037SG5 In the state where 1 is attached to the attached portion, a gap S2 formed between the second positioning boss 037SG552 and the second hole portion 037SG511B is a gap S1 formed between the first positioning boss 037SG551 and the first hole portion 037SG511A. Is provided to allow movement of the first light guide plate 037SG511 in a specific direction parallel to or substantially parallel to the upper end surface 037SG511a while restricting movement of the first light guide plate 037SG511 in a direction other than the specific direction. Be done.

  By doing so, 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, and thus the change of the light reception state at the time of thermal expansion. (For example, the distance between the upper end surface 037SG511a and the light guide plate LED037SG607 changes due to the thermal expansion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 causing the upper end surface 037SG511a to approach the light guide plate LED037SG607.) Therefore, the first light guide plate 037SG511 can be suppressed. Can be suitably coped with the thermal expansion of. Further, since the upper end surface 037SG511a is restricted from approaching the light guide plate LED037SG607 due to the thermal expansion of the first light guide plate 037SG511, it is possible to prevent the light guide plate LED037SG607 from coming into contact with the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 and being damaged. ..

  It should be noted that the gap (for example, the gap S1) between the first positioning boss and the first insertion portion is the gap between the second positioning boss and the second insertion portion (for example, the gap S2). The size may be smaller than the above, and includes one having no gap between the first positioning boss and the first insertion portion.

  In addition, a front holding member 037SG503, a rear holding member 037SG505 as a holding body for holding the first light guide plate 037SG511 at the mounting position, and the front holding member 037SG503, the rear holding member 037SG505, the first light guide plate 037SG511. The first light guide plate can be held at the mounting position so as to be sandwiched between 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 the 037SG511 and the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505.

  By doing so, it is possible to favorably cope with the thermal expansion of the first light guide plate 037SG511. Specifically, since the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 have a structure that holds the peripheral portion of the first light guide plate 037SG511 so as to be sandwiched between the front side and the back side, the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG511 are designed to be different from the first light guide plate 037SG511. By providing the gap S20 (clearance) between them, it is possible to preferably avoid the occurrence of warpage due to thermal expansion and warpage.

  In addition, in the characteristic part 037SG, the form in which only the light of the light guide plate LED037SG607 movable along the upper end surface 037SG511a of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is incident is illustrated, but the first light guide plate 037SG511 is provided separately from the light guide plate LED037SG607. A light emitting means for allowing light to enter may be fixedly provided inside.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-37 and 8-38, in the first light guide plate device 037SG500 ′, light is directed toward the left end surface 037SG503L of the front holding member 037SG503 toward the left end surface 037SG511c of the first light guide plate 037SG511. The LED substrate 037SG518 having a plurality of light guide plates LED037SG517 for irradiating the light may be attached (variation 037SG-1).

  Specifically, the LED board 037SG518 in this modification is fixed to the left side portion 037SG503L of the front holding member 037SG503 with a screw N5. An inner wall portion 037SG548 is erected on the inner side of the left side portion 037SG503L so as to project toward the back side. Recesses 037SG549B are formed at the rear edge of the inner wall 037SG548 at predetermined intervals, whereby the rear edge of the inner wall 037SG548 is formed as an uneven portion 037SG549 including a recess 037SG549B and a protrusion 037SG549A. Has been done. The uneven portion 037SG549 is provided so as to face the left side portion on the front surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511 when the first light guide plate 037SG511 is held at the mounting position by the rear holding member 037SG505 as described later.

  Between the left end surface 037SG511c of the first light guide plate 037SG511 and the light guide plate LED037SG517, there is a first condenser lens 037SG519 that collects 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 condensing lens positioning bosses 037SG593F are formed on the front surface of the first condensing lens 037SG519 so as to project forward, and the condensing lens positioning bosses 037SG593F are positioning holes formed in the LED substrate 037SG518. 037SG595A.

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

  As shown in FIG. 8-38 (A), 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 uneven 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 in which 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 likely than the uneven portion 037SG549. Since the ejector pin mark 037SG650 comes into contact with the convex portion 037SG549A because the ejector pin mark 037SG650 is formed inside, that is, at a position away from the peripheral edge, it is suppressed that the surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511 is scratched.

  As described above, the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505 as holding bodies for holding the first light guide plate 037SG511 at the mounting position are provided, and the holding body has the first light guide plate 037SG511 on one surface (front surface) side. It can be held at the mounting position so as to be sandwiched from the other surface (back surface) side, and in the state where the first light guide plate 037SG511 is held, the uneven portion 037SG549 is provided at a position facing the first light guide plate 037SG511, and the uneven portion 037SG549 is provided. Is arranged at a position that does not face the ejector pin mark 037SG650 formed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 when the first light guide plate 037SG511 is held by the front holding member 037SG503 and the rear holding member 037SG505.

  As described above, 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 so as to be sandwiched from the front side and the back side, but by providing the uneven portion 037SG549, for example, When the first light guide plate 037SG511 moves to the front side due to vibration or the like, the contact area with the first light guide plate 037SG511 can be made as small as possible (partial contact). In addition, the ejector pin mark 037SG650 (convex portion) formed on the front surface of the first light guide plate 037SG511 does not face the uneven portion 037SG549, so that the first light guide plate 037SG511 expands and contracts due to thermal expansion, and the ejector pin mark 037SG650 becomes uneven. Since it is possible to avoid contact with the portion 037SG549, it is possible to favorably cope with the thermal expansion of the first light guide plate 037SG511.

  In addition, a first condenser lens 037SG519 as a light guide member that emits the light incident from the light guide plate LED037SG517 toward the first light guide plate 037SG511, and an attached portion to which the first condenser lens 037SG519 is attached (for example, LED The rear surface of the substrate 037SG518) and a first condensing lens 037SG519 that can be inserted into a positioning hole 037SG595A as an insertion portion provided in the attached portion in a state of being attached to the attached portion. A positioning boss 037SG593F is provided so as to project.

The first light guide plate 037SG511 does not necessarily have to be transparent as long as it has a light-transmitting property, and may be colored or semi-transparent, for example.

  Further, in the above-described characteristic portion 037SG, the mounting member 037SG602 to which the light guide plate LED037SG607 is mounted is exemplified as being provided so as to be movable by the base member 037SG601 and the drive mechanism 037SG603, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, 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 The light guide plate LED037SG607 may be attached to the body 037SG403L, 037SG403R or the like (including the movable body for production). Even in this case, the mounting member 037SG602 is preferably provided on the back side of the movable body so that it is difficult for the player to visually recognize it.

  Further, in the above-mentioned characteristic portion 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. Alternatively, 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-mentioned characteristic portion 037SG, the form in which it is provided so as to be movable by the base member 037SG601 and the drive mechanism 037SG603 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 light plate 037SG511, for example, a movable body that approaches and separates 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 is used). It may be attached to (including). Even in this case, the mounting member 037SG602 is preferably provided on the back side of the movable body so that it is difficult for the player to visually recognize it.

  Further, although the first light guide plate device 037SG500 exemplifies the form in which one first light guide plate 037SG511 is provided, the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, two or more light guide plates may be provided at the front and rear. They may be provided so as to overlap with each other, and each light guide plate LED may be provided so that light can enter the light guide plate. 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. FIG. 8-39 is a diagram showing a light guide plate device as a modified example 037SG-2 of the present invention, (A) is a front view showing the front light guide plate, and (B) is a rear 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 with each other in the front and rear.

  As shown in FIG. 8-39 (A), the light guide plate 037SG570A on the front side is provided with a light guide plate LED037SG607A attached to the attachment member 037SG611A so that the upper end surface thereof can be irradiated with light so as to be movable in the left-right direction. , By reflecting the light from the light guide plate LED037SG607A forward, the reflection unit 037SG701A capable of displaying the upper half of the numbers (for example, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, etc.) is displayed. There are multiple. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-39 (B), the light guide plate 037SG570B on the rear side is provided with a light guide plate LED037SG607B attached to the attachment member 037SG602D so as to be capable of irradiating light on the right end face thereof so as to be vertically movable. In addition, by reflecting the light from the light guide plate LED037SG607B forward, the lower half part of the number (for example, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, etc.) can be displayed. A plurality of units 037SG701B are provided.

  When the light guide plates LEDs 037SG607A and 037SG607B are caused to emit light, the three reflection portions 037SG701A and 037SG701B arranged in rows or columns corresponding to the positions of the light guide plates LEDs 037SG607A and 037SG607B reflect light in the upper half of each number. Section or lower half is displayed. Therefore, the light guide plates 037SG570A and 037SG570B configured as described above are arranged apart from each other in the front and rear so that the respective numbers (images) can be displayed by arranging the front and rear reflecting portions 037SG701A and 037SG701B correspondingly. By doing so, in the area where the light from the light guide plate LEDs 037SG607A and 037SG607B are superposed, the numbers are displayed by the light being reflected by the reflecting portions 037SG701A and 037SG701B.

  For example, after the front and rear light guide plate LEDs 037SG607A and 037SG607B are reciprocally moved at predetermined timings such as the above-mentioned big hit announcement effect (see FIG. 8-39 (C)), the light guide plate LEDs 037SG607A and 037SG607B are set to predetermined numbers (for example, The number "70" is displayed by stopping the light guide plate LEDs 037SG607A and 037SG607B to emit light by stopping at a position corresponding to "70", etc., and suggesting that the jackpot expectation in the variable display is 70%. Etc. are possible. As shown in FIG. 8-39 (C), while the light guide plates LED037SG607A and 037SG607B are reciprocating, the entire predetermined number is temporarily displayed in the area where the light from the light guide plates LED037SG607A and 037SG607B overlaps. 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 displaying a part of the number, and thus it is possible to give the player unexpectedness. ..

  According to this, since effect images such as different images can be displayed on the display portions of the front and rear light guide plates 037SG570A and 037SG570B to form one image, the effect effect can be enhanced. When a plurality of light guide plates are used, one light guide plate LED may be attached to each light guide plate, or one light guide plate LED may be attached between the light guide plates. You may move it.

  In addition, in the above-mentioned characteristic part 037SG, the mounting member 037SG602 having 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 are formed via the first position). (Reciprocating between), the three-dimensional images Z1, Z2, Z3 displayed on the first light guide plate 037SG511 are switched, and the bird displayed as the three-dimensional image is displayed to the player as if tilted left and right. Although the form to be visually recognized is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 8-40 (A) to 8-40 (C) as a modified example 037SG-3, the first position is set. The light guide plate LED037SG607C, the light guide plate LED037SG607L is provided at the second position, and the light guide plate LED037SG607R is provided at the third position.
