The setting device 43 is configured to maintain the operation state (on state or off state) after switching using the setting key without returning without manual operation. The setting device 43 is configured so that the setting key cannot be removed from the keyhole 43a unless it is in the operation state in which it is switched to the off state. The operation by the setting key is, for example, a human operation by the manager of the game arcade. In the present embodiment, when the setting device 43 is in the on state corresponds to “when the setting operation means is operated”, and when the setting device 43 is in the off state “the setting operation means is operated. "When not done".

  When the power supply is turned on, the display unit 45 provides a display for notifying the internally set setting value when the condition for shifting to either the setting changeable state or the setting confirmable state is satisfied. The display unit 45 is a display unit for displaying information different from the set value and also for displaying other information consisting of four-digit information (numerical value, symbol, or character). Other information different from the set value includes, for example, a base value and an identifier for specifying the type of the base value to be notified. Assuming that the base value is in a low-probability-low base state and that the big hit game is not in progress, the calculation of “(total number of prize balls in the playable state / total number of effective balls in the playable state) × 100” is calculated. It is a numerical value that is counted (calculated) by a formula. The base value includes a first base value that defines a first counting period as a period for counting the base value and a second base value that defines a second counting period different from the first counting period. For example, the first counting period is a periodic counting period each time the effective ball reaches 60000, and the second counting period is a period from the end of the latest first counting period to the present.

  When displaying information about the base value, the display unit 45 displays an identifier composed of two-digit information (numerical value, symbol, or character) on the display units 45a and 45b, and displays two-digit information on the display units 45c and 45d ( It is recommended to display the base value consisting of (numerical value). The base value displayed on the display units 45c and 45d may be displayed in decimal notation or may be displayed in hexadecimal notation. If the base value to be notified exceeds the specified value, [FF] may be displayed blinking on the display units 45c and 45d. For example, the stipulated value is [99] for display in decimal system and [255] for display in hexadecimal system. Note that the display device 45 may be a dedicated display unit that performs a display for notifying the set value. The display unit 45 does not necessarily need the four display units 45a to 45d when it is not used also as a display unit for displaying information having two or more digits. For example, the display unit 45 may be configured to be capable of displaying a one-digit numerical value by omitting the display units 45b to 45d.

Next, the main control board case 46 that constitutes the main control unit MU will be described.
The main control board case 46 includes a first case member 47 that serves as a base, and a second case member 48 that is assembled so as to cover the first case member 47. The case members 47 and 48 are both made of a transparent resin material. By assembling the two case members 47 and 48 with each other, a space for housing the main control board 40 is formed inside the main control board case 46. The case members 47, 48 are assembled inseparably without leaving a trace, and it is possible to easily determine that the case members 47, 48 have been opened due to, for example, an illegal act. In the second case member 48, the RWM clear switch 42, the setter 43, and the indicator 45 provided on the main control board 40 are removed from the main control board case 46 when the main control board 40 is accommodated in the main control board case 46. It is provided with one or more watermark holes for making it exposed. Specifically, the RWM clear switch 42 is exposed through the watermark hole 48a when the main control board 40 is housed in the main control board case 46. Therefore, the RWM clear switch 42 can be operated to be turned on through the watermark hole 48a.

  The setting device 43 is exposed through the watermark hole 48b when the main control board 40 is accommodated in the main control board case 46. Therefore, the setting device 43 can perform an operation of inserting a setting key (not shown) into the key hole 43a of the cylinder 43b through the watermark hole 48b to turn it on or off. The tip surface of the cylinder 43b is flush (or substantially flush) with the outer surface of the second case member 48. That is, in the setting device 43, only the front end surface (key hole 43a) of the cylinder 43b is exposed from the main control board case 46, and the other parts are covered by the main control board case 46. Further, the display device 45 is exposed through the watermark hole 48c when the main control board 40 is accommodated in the main control board case 46. Therefore, the display device 45 can visually recognize the display content through the watermark hole 48c.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the middle frame WN cannot be opened unless the locking device SS is operated using the frame key managed by the game hall manager. That is, a player who cannot operate the locking device SS cannot open the middle frame WN in principle. For this reason, it can be said that the main control board 40 provided on the back side of the game board YB mounted on the middle frame WN is arranged at a position that is invisible to the player in principle. Therefore, in principle, the player cannot operate the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 mounted on the main control board 40. Further, it can be said that the display unit 45 mounted on the main control board 40 is arranged at a position where it cannot be touched by the player's eyes. As described above, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 can be operated when the middle frame WN is opened. That is, in this embodiment, the initialization operation means and the setting operation means can be operated when the door member is opened.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low-probability state and a high-probability state as gaming states with different jackpot probabilities. The big hit probability is the probability of being judged as a big hit in the big hit determination. The high-probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than that in the low-probability state. In the high-probability state, the probability of being judged as a big hit in the big-hit determination is higher than in the low-probability state, so that the game state is advantageous for the player. The high-probability state is a so-called “probability change state (probability change state)”.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as gaming states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of game balls to be shot is different. The high base state in the present embodiment is a gaming state in which the probability of the game ball entering the second starting opening 13 is higher than that in the low base state. The high base state in the present embodiment increases the probability that the game ball will enter the second starting opening 13, and makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting opening 13; therefore, a gaming state that is advantageous to the player. (Easy entry). That is, the high base state in this embodiment is a so-called “electric power support state”, and the low base state is a so-called “non-electric power support state”.

  For example, the high base state can be realized by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is the variation time shortening control of the ordinary symbol that makes the variation time of the ordinary game shorter than that in the low base state. The second control is a probability fluctuation control of a normal symbol that changes the probability of winning a normal symbol hit lottery (ordinary winning probability) with a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an opening time extension control for making the total opening time of the second starting port 13 in one normal hit game longer than that in the low base state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, a control for increasing the number of times of opening the second starting port 13 in one normal hit game more than in the low base state, and one opening of the second starting port 13 in the normal hit game It is advisable to perform at least one of the controls for making the opening time of (1) longer than in the low base state. In this embodiment, the normal hit probability in the low base state is set to zero. Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a variation time shortening control of a special symbol that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, average variation time) shorter than that in the low base state. When performing the variation time reduction control of the special symbol, the high base state is a so-called "variation time reduction state (time saving state)" for the special symbol. On the other hand, the low base state is a so-called "non-variable time shortening state (non-time saving state)" for the special symbol.

  In the following description, a gaming state that is a low-probability state and a low base state is shown as a "low-probability low base state", and a gaming state that is a high-probability state and a low base state is shown as a "high-probability low base state". Further, a gaming state that is a low-probability state and a high base state is shown as a "low-probability-high base state", and a gaming state that is a high-probability state and a high-base state is shown as a "high-probability-high base state".

Next, the characteristic setting change function of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the jackpot probability can be set as a plurality of types of setting values. Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can set the jackpot probability over a total of 6 stages from the first set value to the sixth set value as a plurality of types of set values. In the following description, “the nth set value is set” may be simply referred to as “setting n” (where n = 1 to 6).

  The jackpot probability of setting 1 is K1, the jackpot probability of setting 2 is K2, the jackpot probability of setting 3 is K3, the jackpot probability of setting 4 is K4, the jackpot probability of setting 5 is K5, The jackpot probability of setting 6 is K6. The jackpot probabilities K1 to K6 are high in the order of jackpot probability K1 <K2 <K3 <K4 <K5 <K6, and it is easy to win the jackpot. The jackpot probabilities K1 to K6 are a combination of the jackpot probability in the low probability state and the jackpot probability in the high probability state. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the jackpot probability changes according to the set value. The setting value does not have to be 6 steps, and may be any of 2 steps to 5 steps and 7 steps or more. In the present embodiment, the plurality of types of setting values are a plurality of setting information that defines the degree of advantage regarding the special game.

  In the setting changeable state, the set value set internally is notified. In the setting changeable state, the set value internally set is changed every time the setting switch is operated by [Setting 1] → [Setting 2] → ... → [Setting 5] → [Setting 6] → [Setting 1] ] → ... can be changed to loop. The fact that the set value has been changed can be confirmed by changing the display of the set value on the display unit 45. As shown in FIG. 5, the display unit 45 displays the numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) corresponding to the set values on the display unit 45d and the remaining display units 45a, 45a. A bar (-) is displayed on 45b and 45c. As shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 45 is mounted on the main control board 40. Therefore, the display device 45 cannot specify the notification content from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 when the door member is closed, but can specify the notification content when the door member is open. The setting changeable state ends when the setting key 43 is turned off using the setting key.

  In the setting confirmable state, the set value set internally is displayed on the display unit 45. In the setting confirmable state, change of the set value by operating the setting switch is restricted. The set value set internally is displayed until the setting confirmable state ends. In the present embodiment, the setting switch is also used as the RWM clear switch 42. The setting confirmable state ends when the setter 43 is turned off using the setting key.

Next, based on FIG. 7, the error detected by the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The errors detected by the pachinko gaming machine 10 include setting error, setting change, setting confirmation, RWM clear, power recovery, door opening, etc., as illustrated in FIG. In addition, although not illustrated in FIG. 7, errors detected by the pachinko gaming machine 10 include random number updating, magnetic sensing, induction magnetic field detection, vibration sensing, special electric auditors improper prize, and ordinary electric auditor improper prize. , Full, etc. These errors are examples, and the pachinko gaming machine 10 is equipped with a function of detecting various errors according to specifications.

  The setting error includes an information error error and a setting change operation error. The information abnormality error occurs on condition that the setting information is not normal (abnormal) or the backed up game information is not normal. The setting change operation error occurs under the condition that the power is turned off while being controlled to the setting changeable state, and then the setting changeable state is not reached when the power is turned on. The setting change occurs under the condition that the setting can be changed (setting change processing described later is performed). The setting confirmation occurs on condition that the setting can be confirmed (setting confirmation processing described later is performed). The RWM clear is generated on condition that the RWM area is initialized after the power is turned on and the RWM area is brought into the playable state. The power recovery occurs on condition that the RWM area is not initialized after the power is turned on and the game is ready. Door opening occurs on condition that the door members (front frame WM, middle frame WN) are open. Although the above-mentioned setting change, setting confirmation, RWM clearing, and power recovery are all normal processes, they are events that have a great influence on the progress of the game and may lead to fraud, so in the present embodiment, Positioned as a kind of error.

  The random number update occurs on condition that the hardware random number generation (update) of the main control board 40 is abnormal. The magnetic sensing occurs on the condition that the magnetic sensor provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10 detects a magnetic field having a predetermined strength or more. The induction magnetic field detection is generated on condition that a radio wave sensor provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10 detects a radio wave in a specific frequency band. Vibration detection occurs on condition that vibration is detected by a vibration sensor provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10. The special electric auditors product illegal prize is generated on condition that a ball to the special winning opening 14 is detected when the big hit game is not generated (when the special electric auditors product device is not operated). The illegal prize for the ordinary electric auditors product is generated on condition that the entry into the second starting opening 13 is detected when the ordinary electric auditors product device is not operated. Fullness occurs on the condition that the fullness of the storage dish (lower dish Sb) is detected by the fullness sensor.

  The setting change and the setting confirmation among the above-exemplified errors are related to the setting control state. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can detect a plurality of errors including an error related to the setting control state. Each of the various types of errors illustrated above is an error that is a target of error notification, and the plurality of errors that can be detected by the pachinko gaming machine 10 include an error notification error.

  The error notification is a notification performed in order to let the player or the manager of the game hall recognize that an error has occurred due to the establishment of the above conditions and the type of error that has occurred. The error notification is performed by any one of the display of an error image by the effect display device 11, the output of an error sound from the speaker SP, and the light emission by the decoration lamps LA1, LA2, or a combination thereof. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11, the speaker SP, and the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2 that perform error notification correspond to error notification means. In addition, in the notification mode of the error notification by the effect display device 11, the first notification mode in which the display amount of the error notification displayed on the image display unit GH, which is the screen of the effect display device 11, is large, and the first notification mode A second notification mode in which the display amount of error notification is small. The error notification according to the first notification mode is generally performed by displaying the error image in the area corresponding to the entire area of the image display unit GH. The standard of the area corresponding to the entire area is, for example, a degree of covering the display area of the effect game displayed on the image display unit GH, in other words, the display that reduces the visibility of the effect game. The error notification according to the second notification mode is performed by displaying the error image in an extremely small area compared to the entire area of the image display unit GH. The standard of the extremely small area is, for example, extremely small compared to the display area of the effect game displayed on the image display unit GH, in other words, the display that does not reduce the visibility of the effect game. The error notification according to the second notification mode is performed, for example, by displaying a band-shaped error image, and the band-shaped error image may be fixedly displayed, or may be scroll-displayed or telop-displayed in a predetermined direction. Good.

  Further, the error notification corresponding to the generated error is performed according to a predetermined priority order (priority). FIG. 7 shows the priority order of setting error, setting change, setting confirmation, RWM clear, power recovery, and door opening among a plurality of types of errors. In the priority order of the present embodiment, the priority order of the setting error (indicated as [1] in FIG. 7) is the highest, and the priority order of setting change, setting confirmation, RWM clear and power recovery (in FIG. 7, [2]) is high, and the priority order of the door opening (shown as [X] in FIG. 7) is lower than these errors.

  Each of the above-mentioned errors is detected by an error detection unit that detects an error. The error detection unit that has detected the error transmits a notification command for instructing error notification to the sub-control CPU 50a. Upon receiving the notification command, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the error notification unit that is the target of the error notification. As a result, the error notification means executes the error notification. The errors that occur in the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured such that all the errors are detected by the main control CPU 41a, or some of the errors may be detected by a CPU other than the main control CPU 41a. The CPU other than the main control CPU 41a may be, for example, a CPU of a payout control board, and the CPU may detect an error related to payout of game balls. Therefore, the error detecting means corresponds to a CPU that detects an error, and is, for example, the main control CPU 41a. Further, the notification command may be provided for each type of error. For example, the notification command may be provided for each error type when the error notification is in the notification mode in which the error type can be recognized. Further, the notification command may also be used in the case where the notification mode of error notification is the same even for different types of errors.

  It should be noted that executing the error notification according to the priority order, that is, executing the error with priority, means that when a plurality of errors with different priority orders occur at the same time, the error notification with the higher priority order has the lower priority order. This means giving priority over error notification. To give priority, do not execute low-priority error notification, execute low-priority error notification after high-priority error notification, execute both error notifications but low-priority error notification It is included that the notification amount of is less than the notification amount of the error notification having a high priority. Reducing the notification amount means, for example, that error notification is normally performed by a plurality of error notification means, but when the notification amount is decreased, the number of error notification means is reduced to reduce the area for executing error notification. is there.

  FIG. 7 shows a specific mode of error notification for each error, in addition to the priority order of error notification illustrated in the present embodiment. In the [Security signal] column in FIG. 7, an error of transmitting a security signal when an error occurs is marked with a circle, and an error of not transmitting a security signal is marked with a minus sign. [Notification time] in FIG. 7 indicates the time or period from the start of error notification to the end of the error notification. “Until the power is cut off” in the figure for the setting error indicates that the error notification regarding the setting error is continuously executed until the power is cut off. When a setting error occurs, the display unit 45 displays characters (E1, E2) corresponding to the type of the setting error on the display units 45c and 45d instead of displaying the set value, and the remaining display units 45a and 45b. A bar (-) is displayed on. [Unlock] in the figure for setting change and setting confirmation indicates that error notification related to setting change will continue to be executed until the setting changeable status is released. It indicates that it continues to be executed until it is released. “Time T1” in the figure for RWM clear and power recovery indicates that each error notification regarding RWM clear and power recovery is continuously executed until time T1 elapses. [Time T2] in the figure for the door opening indicates that the error notification regarding the door opening is continuously executed until the time T2 elapses.

  The [Display], [Voice], and [Emitting] columns in FIG. 7 indicate modes of error notification performed by the effect display device 11, the speaker SP, and the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 when an error occurs. In the error notification regarding the setting error, the character string "Please change the setting" is displayed on the production display device 11, and the voice including the character string "Please change the setting" is output from the speaker SP. Further, the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2 blink red. The character string “Please change the setting” and the voice composed of the character string correspond to the content indicating the method for making the game possible state. In the error notification related to the setting change, the character string “Setting is being changed” is displayed on the effect display device 11, a voice composed of the character string “Setting is being changed” is output from the speaker SP, and the decoration lamp LA1 is further provided. , LA2 blinks in green. In the error notification related to the setting confirmation, the character string of "Setting confirmation" is displayed on the effect display device 11, the voice composed of the character string of "Setting confirmation" is output from the speaker SP, and the decoration lamp LA1 is also displayed. , LA2 blinks in blue. In the error notification related to RWM clear, [initial combination of effect symbols (indicated as initial symbol in FIG. 7)] is displayed on the effect display device 11, RWM clear sound is output from the speaker SP, and the decoration lamp LA1 is also output. , LA2 are all illuminated. It should be noted that the term "all lighting" as used herein means that the colors of light that can be emitted are sequentially turned on. In the error notification regarding the power recovery, the [power recovery combination of the effect design (indicated as a power recovery pattern in FIG. 7)] is displayed on the effect display device 11, and a sound recovery operation is output from the speaker SP, and the decoration is further applied. All the lamps LA1 and LA2 are turned on. In the error notification regarding the door opening, the character string "door is open" is displayed from the speaker SP, and the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2 blink in white.

  In the present embodiment, an image of each error notification regarding setting error, setting change, setting confirmation, RWM clear, and power recovery is displayed on the effect display device 11, but this image is the first notification with a large display amount of error notification. It is a mode. For example, the first notification mode is full-screen display. The specific mode of error notification of each error described above may be arbitrarily changed. Further, when the door is opened, the effect display device 11 does not perform error notification, but for example, a character string of [door is open] may be displayed, and this image may be in the first notification mode or the second notification mode. A notification mode may be used.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when it is in the setting changeable state, the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b inform the setting changeable state. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the setting can be confirmed, the special symbol display portions 19a, 19b are informed that the setting can be confirmed. Specifically, in the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b visible from the front side of the game board YB, a setting changeable state or by turning on all of the plurality of light-emitting bodies forming the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b. Notify that the setting can be confirmed. A display pattern (hereinafter, referred to as a setting notification pattern) for turning on all of the plurality of light emitting elements that form the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b is a dedicated display different from the special symbol used in the special game (a symbol deviating from the jackpot symbol). It is a pattern. That is, the display pattern of the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b when controlled to the setting changeable state or the setting confirmable state is not the big hit symbol display pattern, and further, is not the deviating symbol display pattern. By performing notification by such special symbol display portions 19a and 19b, it is possible to recognize that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in the setting changeable state or the setting confirmable state, not limited to the display of the display device 45. In the present embodiment, the special symbol derived by the special game is for notifying the result of the winning lottery, and therefore the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b are also used as means for making a notification different from these special notifications. Can be said to be.

  The display of the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b may be different display patterns in the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state, or the display of the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b may be the same display pattern. In the case of different display patterns, for example, the display content itself may be different, or the display content is the same, but it is turned on when the setting changeable state is controlled, and the setting checkable state is controlled. The display mode may be different such that the display mode blinks when the display is on. The notification of the setting changeable state or the setting confirmable state uses only one of the first special symbol display portion 19a for playing the first special game and the second special symbol display portion 19b for playing the second special game. Or both may be used at the same time. Moreover, the notification of the setting changeable state is performed on the first special symbol display portion 19a (or the second special symbol display portion 19b), and the notification of the setting confirmable state is the second special symbol display portion 19b (or the first special symbol). The special symbol display portion may be different, as in the symbol display portion 19a).

  The power-on process executed by the main control CPU 41a will be described below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. In the power-on process, the transition to each state is controlled, and the error notification regarding the setting error, the setting change, the setting confirmation, the RWM clear and the power recovery shown in FIG. 7 is controlled.

  When the main control CPU 41a is powered on and the voltage supplied to the main control board 40 reaches a voltage necessary for the operation of the main control CPU 41a, the main control CPU 41a executes a startup process (boot process) and shifts to a state in which various processes can be executed. To do. The main control CPU 41a executes a power-on process described below after the start process is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the power-on process, the main control CPU 41a performs a backup normality determination to determine whether the backed up game information (various information) is normal (step S101). In step S101, the main control CPU 41a determines whether or not the stored content of the RWM area is abnormal. In the present embodiment, the process of step S101 in the power-on process corresponds to the storage content normality determination. In this way, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to perform a storage content normality determination that determines whether the backed up game information is normal with the start of power supply. The determination in step S101 may be configured to determine whether the backed up game information is abnormal. In this way, even when the backup game information is configured to determine whether it is abnormal, it is substantially equivalent to determining whether the backup game information is normal, so it is backed up. The process in step S101 for determining whether the game information is abnormal also corresponds to the normal determination of stored contents.

  If the backed-up game information is not normal (S101: NO), that is, if the backed-up game information is abnormal, the main control CPU 41a determines whether the detection signal from the opening detection sensor SE7 is received. Then, it is determined whether the door member is open (step S102). When the door member is opened (step S102: YES), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the setting device 43 is operated in the ON state, that is, the setting based on whether the operation signal is received from the setting device 43. It is determined whether the container 43 is operated (step S103). When the setter 43 is operated (step S103: YES), the main control CPU 41a operates the RWM clear switch 42 in the ON state based on whether the operation signal is received from the RWM clear switch 42. That is, it is determined whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S104). Then, when the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S104: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second initialization process (step S105).

  In the second initialization process, the main control CPU 41a initializes at least the first type game information and the second type game information among the backed up game information. The first-type game information includes information about set values. The information about the set value here corresponds substantially to information that can specify the set value that was set when the power was cut off, that is, the setting information that was set when the power supply was cut off. When initializing the information related to the set value, the main control CPU 41a stores an initial value (in the present embodiment, a numerical value indicating the first set value in an area for storing a numerical value (information) that can specify the currently set setting value. ) Is stored. The second type of game information includes information on the game state. The information about the game state here corresponds substantially to the information that can specify the game state that was controlled when the power was cut off, that is, the game state that was controlled when the power supply was cut off. When initializing the information related to the game state of the second type of game information, the main control CPU 41a stores the information that can specify the initial game state in an area that stores the information that can specify the currently controlled game state. (In the present embodiment, information that can identify the low accurate low base state) is stored. In addition, the second type of game information includes information about special games such as information about special games whose execution has been suspended (information about special games that have been suspended when the power is turned off), and information about ordinary games. Has been. As described above, in the present embodiment, the backed up game information includes the first type game information and the second type game information different from the first type game information. Incidentally, the backed up game information includes third-type game information in addition to the first-type game information and the second-type game information. The third type of game information includes information about the base value. The information about the base value mentioned here includes information necessary for counting the base value and information necessary for displaying the base value.

  When the process of step S105 is performed, the main control CPU 41a turns on the external information output. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a causes the external terminal board 70 to start outputting a security signal. After finishing the process of step S105, the main control CPU 41a performs the setting change process (step S106) to make the setting changeable state. When the setting changeable state is canceled and the setting change process is finished, the main control CPU 41a makes the game possible state. . The security signal whose output is started when the process of step S105 is performed is continuously output until the output is stopped in the setting change process of step S106. The setting change process will be described later. On the other hand, if the door member is not opened in step S102 (step S102: NO), the setter 43 is not operated (step S103: NO), and the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated (step S102). If either one of S104: NO), the main control CPU 41a performs the first game-disabled process (step S107), and sets the game-disabled state. The first unplayable game process will be described later.

  If the backed-up game information is normal (step S101: YES), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the door member is open, as in the process of step S102 (step S108). When the door member is not opened (step S108: NO), the main control CPU 41a reads the information that can identify the state when the power is cut off from the backed up game information, and the state when the power is cut can be changed. In step S109, it is determined whether the power supply has been cut off while the setting changeable state is being controlled. Then, when the setting is changeable when the power is turned off (step S109: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second game-disabled process (step S110) and sets the game-disabled state. The second unplayable game process will be described later. On the other hand, when the setting is not changeable when the power is off (step S109: NO), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated, as in the process of step S104 (step S111). Then, when the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S111: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the first initialization process (step S112). In the first initialization process, the main control CPU 41a initializes at least the first type game information and the second type game information of the second type game information among the backed up game information.

  When the process of step S112 is performed, the main control CPU 41a causes the external terminal board 70 to start outputting a security signal. After that, the main control CPU 41a performs device setting. In device setting, the main control CPU 41a starts reading the detection results of the sensors SE1 to SE6. That is, all of the sensors SE1 to SE6 that have been disabled after the power is turned on are enabled. The sensors SE1 to SE6 are invalid even during device setting. Further, the main control CPU 41a turns off the external information output. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a stops the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. Here, the main control CPU 41a sets the period (output period) from the output of the security signal to the stop of the output of the security signal to the predetermined period (for example, 50 ms) when the process of step S112 is performed. If not, the output of the security signal is extended until the predetermined period has elapsed. After that, the main control CPU 41a brings the game into a playable state. The main control CPU 41a returns based on the game information and puts it in a game-enabled state. In addition, when the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated in step S111 (step S111: NO), the main control CPU 41a does not perform the first initialization process, returns based on the game information, and sets the state in which the game can be played. By the way, if the determination result in step S109 is negative, it is determined that the game information backed up in step S101 is normal, and therefore there is no game-disabled state when the power is turned off. Substantially, it corresponds to the case where the power is off when it is either in the game enabled state or the setting checkable state.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the door member is opened in step S108 (step S108: YES), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the setter 43 is operated, as in step S103 (step S113). . When the setter 43 is operated (step S113: YES), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S114), as in step S104. Then, when the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S114: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the first initialization process similarly to step S112 (step S115). When the process of step S115 is performed, the main control CPU 41a causes the external terminal board 70 to start outputting a security signal. After finishing the process of step S115, the main control CPU 41a performs the setting change process (step S116) to make the setting changeable state. When the setting changeable state is canceled and the setting change process is finished, based on the game information. It returns and is in a state where it is possible to play. The security signal output of which is started when the process of step S115 is performed is continuously output until the output is stopped in the setting change process of step S116.

  On the other hand, when the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated in step S114 (step S114: NO), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the power-off state is the setting changeable state as in step S109 (step S117). ). When the setting is changeable when the power is turned off (step S117: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second game-disabled process (step S118), and sets the game-disabled state. On the other hand, if the setting cannot be changed when the power is turned off (step S117: NO), the main control CPU 41a performs the setting confirmation process (step S119) to enter the setting confirmable state, and the setting confirmable state is released to confirm the setting. When the process is completed, the game is returned based on the game information, and the game is ready. Incidentally, when the determination result of step S117 is negative, as in the case where the determination result of step S109 is negative, it is determined that the game information backed up in step S101 is normal, and thus is substantially This corresponds to the case where the power is off when the game is in any of the playable state and the setting checkable state.

  When the setting device 43 is not operated in step S113 (step S113: NO), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated, as in step S104 (step S120). Then, when the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S120: YES), the main control CPU 41a determines whether or not the power-off state is the setting changeable state, as in step S109 (step S121). When the setting is changeable when the power is turned off (step S121: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second game-disabled process (step S122), and sets the game-disabled state. On the other hand, when the setting is not changeable when the power is turned off (step S121: NO), the main control CPU 41a performs the first initialization process as in step S112 (step S123). When the process of step S123 is performed, the main control CPU 41a causes the external terminal board 70 to start outputting a security signal. After that, the main control CPU 41a performs device setting. Further, the main control CPU 41a stops the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. Here, if the period (output period) from the output of the security signal to the stop of the output of the security signal when the process of step S123 is performed is less than the predetermined period, the main control CPU 41a performs security. The signal output is extended until the predetermined period has elapsed. After that, the main control CPU 41a returns based on the game information and puts it in the game-enabled state. Incidentally, when the determination result of step S121 is negative, as in the case where the determination result of step S109 is negative, it is determined that the game information backed up in step S101 is normal, and thus is substantially This corresponds to the case where the power is off when the game is in any of the playable state and the setting checkable state.

  On the other hand, when the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated in step S120 (step S120: NO), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the power-off state is the setting changeable state, as in step S109 (step S124). ). When the setting is changeable when the power is turned off (step S124: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second game-disabled process (step S125) and sets the game-disabled state. On the other hand, when the setting is not changeable when the power is turned off (step S124: NO), the main control CPU 41a returns based on the game information and sets it in the game enable state. Incidentally, when the determination result of step S124 is negative, as in the case where the determination result of step S109 is negative, it is determined that the game information backed up in step S101 is normal, and thus is substantially This corresponds to the case where the power is off when the game is possible or the setting can be confirmed.

  Further, when the power-on process is performed to make the game possible, the main control CPU 41a transmits a power-on initial time designation command or a power-on power recovery time designation command to the sub-control CPU 50a of the sub-control board 50. Specifically, in the power-on process, when at least one of the first initialization process and the second initialization process is performed and then the game is enabled, the main control CPU 41a sends a power-on initial designation command to the sub-control CPU 50a. Send. On the other hand, in the power-on process, when the game is enabled without performing either the first initialization process or the second initialization process, the main control CPU 41a sends a power-on power recovery designation command to the sub-control CPU 50a. It should be noted that "when the power is turned on to make the game possible" means that the setting can be changed in addition to the case where the game can be made without any setting changeable state or setting confirmable state. It includes a case where the game is enabled through the state and a case where the game is enabled through the setting confirmable state.

  Incidentally, the sub-control CPU 50a, upon receiving the power-on initial designation command, issues an RWM clear notification. In the RWM clear notification, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 are caused to emit light in a predetermined light emission pattern, and a sound dedicated to the RWM clear is output from the speaker SP. The RWM clear notification is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) and ends when the predetermined time elapses. When receiving the power-on initial designation command, the sub-control CPU 50a causes the image display section GH to display an initial combination of effect symbols in a plurality of rows (initial symbol) or an initial screen such as a predetermined background image. The initial combination of effect symbols is a combination depending on the series of the pachinko gaming machine 10. In addition, the sub-control CPU 50a, when receiving the power-on initial designation command, controls the effect game to be executable. It should be noted that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to execute the demonstration effect when the execution condition for the demonstration effect is satisfied, such as when the special game is not started even after a predetermined period has elapsed since the initial screen was displayed. May be. Further, when the power-on initial command is received while the information capable of specifying that the setting is changeable is being issued, the sub control CPU 50a can specify that the setting is changeable. The information notification ends. That is, in the effect display device 11, the speaker SP, and the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2, the setting change notification ends.

  In addition, when the sub control CPU 50a receives the power-on / power-recovery-time designation command, it notifies the power recovery. In the power recovery notification, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 are caused to emit light in a predetermined light emission pattern, and the speaker SP outputs a sound dedicated to power recovery. The power recovery notification is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), and ends when the predetermined time elapses. In the present embodiment, the predetermined light emission patterns of the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2 included in the power recovery notification are the same as the predetermined light emission patterns of the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2 included in the RWM clear notification. When the sub-control CPU 50a receives the power-on power-recovery designation command, the image display unit GH displays a power-recovery image such as a power-recovery combination (power-recovery pattern) of a plurality of columns of effect symbols or a predetermined background image. . It can be said that the display contents of the image display unit GH when the RWM clear is passed and when the power is restored are the same in that a combination of effect symbols is displayed and a background image is displayed. The power recovery combination of the effect design is a combination depending on the series of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Further, when the sub control CPU 50a receives the power-on / power-recovery-time designation command, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the effect game to be executable. Note that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to execute the demonstration effect when the execution condition for the demonstration effect is satisfied, such as when the special game is not started even after a predetermined period has elapsed since the power recovery screen was displayed. It may have been done. Further, when the power-on initial command is received while the information capable of specifying that the setting can be confirmed is being notified, the sub control CPU 50a can specify that the setting can be confirmed. The information notification ends. That is, in the effect display device 11, the speaker SP, and the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2, the setting confirmation notification ends.

Here, the setting change process will be described with reference to FIG.
In the setting change process, the main control CPU 41a sends a setting change notification command to the sub control CPU 50a of the sub control board 50 (step S201). Incidentally, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the setting change notification command, the sub-control CPU 50a notifies information (hereinafter referred to as setting change notification) that can specify that the setting change is possible. For example, on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11, an image showing a character string such as “setting change” is displayed as information that can specify that the setting change is possible. For example, in the speaker SP, a dedicated sound is output as information that can specify that the setting changeable state is in effect. The dedicated sound that configures the setting change notification is configured by, for example, making a voice that reads out the character string “setting is being changed” as one unit notification and repeating (looping) the unit notification. For example, in the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, dedicated light emission is performed as information that can specify that the setting changeable state is in progress. The dedicated light emission constituting the setting change notification is configured, for example, by setting light emission according to a dedicated light emission pattern as one unit notification and repeating (looping) the unit notification. The setting change notification may be configured by one or a combination of two or more of the display effect, the light emission effect, and the sound effect. When the process of step S201 is performed, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to perform the display according to the setting notification pattern.

  After finishing the process of step S201, the main control CPU 41a displays the set value (step S202). In the process of step S202, the main control CPU 41a reads the current setting value stored in the RWM area, and controls the display unit 45 to perform a display for notifying the read setting value. The set value displayed here is the set value that was set when the power was cut off most recently, and is the set value that is stored and retained by the backup function. That is, the display device 45 first displays the information capable of identifying the setting value set at that time among the plurality of setting values, triggered by the transition to the setting changeable state. Further, the display unit 45 can display information that can specify a setting value different from the initial value among a plurality of setting values without the need to operate the setting switch when the setting changeable state is triggered. Is configured.

  Next, the main control CPU 41a determines whether the setting switch has been operated based on whether the operation signal has been received from the setting switch (RWM clear switch 42) (step S203). When the setting switch is operated (step S203: YES), the main control CPU 41a changes the currently set setting value (step S204). Here, each time the setting switch is operated, the main control CPU 41a says "... → [Setting 1] → [Setting 2] → ... → [Setting 5] → [Setting 6] → [Setting 1] → ..." So that the set value being set is switched to loop. When switching the setting value, the main control CPU 41a sets the information after the switching, which is information stored in a predetermined area of the RWM area and which can specify the setting value set at that time. Rewrite the value with identifiable information.

  When the process of step S204 is completed or when the setting switch is not operated (step S203: NO), the main control CPU 41a determines whether or not the operation signal is received from the setting device 43. It is determined whether 43 is in the off state (step S205). When the setter 43 is not in the off state (step S205: NO), the main control CPU 41a returns to the process of step S202. In the process of step S202 when the process returns from step S205, the main control CPU 41a controls the display device 45 so as to perform a display notifying the changed set value set at that time.

  When the setting device 43 is in the off state in step S205 (step S205: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the first initialization process (step S206). Then, the main control CPU 41a performs device setting (step S207). In step S207, the main control CPU 41a starts reading the detection results of the sensors SE1 to SE6. That is, each of the sensors SE1 to SE6 that have been invalid after the power is turned on becomes valid. The sensors SE1 to SE6 are invalid even during device setting. When the process of step S207 is performed, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to end the display according to the setting notification pattern. At this time, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b so as to display an initial special symbol (for example, a missing symbol). Next, the main control CPU 41a turns off the external information output (step S208), finishes the setting confirmation process, returns to the power-on process, returns based on the game information, and sets the game ready state. In step S208, the main control CPU 41a stops the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. Here, in the case of the setting change processing in step S106, the main control CPU 41a satisfies the predetermined period from the start of outputting the security signal in step S105 to the stop of the output of the security signal. If not, the output of the security signal is extended until the predetermined period has elapsed. Similarly, in the case of the setting change processing in step S116, the main control CPU 41a satisfies the predetermined period for the period from the output of the security signal to the stop of the output of the security signal in step S115. If not, the output of the security signal is extended until the predetermined period has elapsed.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when various information backed up is determined to be normal in the backup normality determination when the power is turned on after the power is turned off, the RWM clear switch is turned on when the power is turned on. When 42 and the setting device 43 are operated and when the opening detection sensor SE7 detects opening of the door member, the first initialization process is performed in step S115. That is, in the present embodiment, even when the power supply is cut off when the game supply state, the setting checkable state, or the setting changeable state is controlled, after the power supply is cut off. , When the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated with the start of the power supply and the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member, When it is determined that the backed up game information is normal in the content normality determination, the second type game information of the first type game information and the second type game information is initialized.

Next, the setting confirmation process will be described with reference to FIG.
In the setting confirmation processing, the main control CPU 41a turns on the external information output (step S301). Specifically, the main control CPU 41a causes the external terminal board 70 to start outputting a security signal. Subsequently, the main control CPU 41a transmits a setting confirmation notification command to the sub control CPU 50a of the sub control board 50 (step S302). Incidentally, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the setting confirmation notification command, the sub-control CPU 50a performs notification of information (hereinafter referred to as setting confirmation notification) that can specify that the setting confirmation notification is in progress. For example, on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11, an image showing a character string such as “under confirmation of setting” is displayed as information capable of specifying that the setting confirmation state is in progress. For example, in the speaker SP, a dedicated sound is output as information that can specify that the setting confirmation state is in progress. The dedicated sound that configures the setting confirmation notification is configured, for example, by making a voice in which the character string “setting confirmation” is read aloud as one unit notification and repeating (looping) the unit notification. For example, in the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, dedicated light emission is performed as information that can specify that the setting confirmation state is available. The dedicated light emission constituting the setting confirmation notification is configured, for example, by setting the light emission by the dedicated light emission pattern as one unit notification and repeating (looping) the unit notification. Note that the setting confirmation notification may be configured by one or a combination of two or more of the display effect, the light emission effect, and the sound effect. In the present embodiment, the setting change notification and the setting confirmation notification are different notification modes. When the process of step S302 is performed, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to display the setting notification pattern.

  After finishing the process of step S302, the main control CPU 41a displays the set value (step S303). In the process of step S303, the main control CPU 41a reads the current setting value stored in the RWM area, and controls the display device 45 so as to perform a display notifying the read setting value. The setting values displayed here are the same as the setting values that were set when the power was last cut off, as well as the settings that were stored and retained by the backup function, as when the settings were changed. It is a value. Then, the main control CPU 41a determines whether the setting device 43 is in the off state based on whether or not the operation signal is received from the setting device 43 (step S304). When the setter 43 is not in the off state (step S304: NO), the main control CPU 41a returns to the process of step S303. That is, the main control CPU 41a controls the display device 45 so as to continue the display for notifying the currently set value until the setting device 43 is operated to the off state. Even if the setting switch (RWM clear switch 42) is operated here, the main control CPU 41a does not switch the currently set setting value. That is, the main control CPU 41a does not allow the setting information to be changed when the setting switch is operated.

  When the setting device 43 is in the off state in step S304 (step S304: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs device setting (step S305). In step S305, the main control CPU 41a starts reading the detection results of the sensors SE1 to SE6. That is, each of the sensors SE1 to SE6 that have been invalid after the power is turned on becomes valid. The sensors SE1 to SE6 are invalid even during device setting. When the process of step S305 is performed, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to end the display according to the setting notification pattern. At this time, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b so as to display the initial special symbol. Subsequently, the main control CPU 41a turns off the external information output (step S306), finishes the setting confirmation process, returns to the power-on process, returns based on the game information, and sets the game ready state. In step S306, the main control CPU 41a stops the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. Here, if the period (output period) from the output of the security signal in step S301 to the stop of the output of the security signal is less than the predetermined period, the main control CPU 41a outputs the security signal in the predetermined range. Extend until period expires.

Next, the first unplayable game process will be described.
In the first game-disabled process, the main control CPU 41a controls the display device 45 to display the setting error. In the first game-disabled process, the main control CPU 41a controls the display device 45 so that the information abnormality error is displayed. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a controls the display device 45 so that the character string of [-E1] is displayed. In the present embodiment, displaying the character string [--E1] on the display device 45 corresponds to notifying an error in a special mode. Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the first unplayable game process corresponds to the control in the error state. That is, in the present embodiment, it is impossible to play a game in an error state. Further, in the present embodiment, the game-disabled state (error state) is set by performing the first game-disabled process, but the game-disabled state cannot be canceled without turning off the power.

  Further, in the first game-disabled process, the main control CPU 41a sends a setting error command to the sub control CPU 50a. Incidentally, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the setting error command, the sub-control CPU 50a gives notification of information capable of identifying the setting error (hereinafter referred to as setting error notification). For example, in the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11, an image showing a character string such as "please change the setting" is displayed as information that can identify a setting error. For example, the speaker SP outputs a dedicated sound as information that can identify a setting error. The dedicated sound forming the setting error notification is configured by repeating (looping) the unit notification, for example, a voice in which a character string “Please change the setting” is read out as one unit notification. For example, in the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, dedicated light emission is performed as information that can identify a setting error. The dedicated light emission constituting the setting error notification is configured by, for example, making light emission by a dedicated light emission pattern one unit notification and repeating (looping) the unit notification. Note that the setting error notification may be configured by one or a combination of two or more of display effects, light emission effects, and audio effects.

Next, the second unplayable game process will be described.
In the second unplayable game process, the main control CPU 41a controls the display device 45 to display the setting error. In the second unplayable process, the main control CPU 41a controls the display device 45 so that the setting change operation error is displayed. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a controls the display unit 45 so that the character string of [-E2] is displayed. In the present embodiment, displaying the character string [-E2] on the display device 45 corresponds to notifying an error in a specific manner. In the present embodiment, the notification of the error according to the special mode and the notification of the error according to the specific mode are different. In addition, in the present embodiment, performing the second unplayable game process corresponds to controlling the error state. That is, in the present embodiment, it is impossible to play a game in an error state. Further, in the present embodiment, the second game disable process is performed to enter the game disable state (error state), but the game disable state cannot be released without powering off.

  Further, in the second game-disabled process, the main control CPU 41a sends a setting error command to the sub control CPU 50a. Incidentally, as described above, when the sub control CPU 50a receives the setting error command, it notifies the setting error. In the present embodiment, the display content of the effect display device 11 when the setting error notification is performed when the first game disable process is performed, and the setting error notification when the second game disable process is performed are performed. The content displayed on the effect display device 11 when the content is broken is the same. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the display content of the effect display device 11 when the display unit 45 displays [-E2] is that the display unit 45 displays [-E1]. Different from the display contents of the effect display device 11 at that time. That is, in the present embodiment, the display content of the display device when the error is notified in the specific mode by the notification unit is the same as the display content of the display device when the error is notified in the special mode by the notification unit. is there.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the power is turned off, when it is determined that various information backed up is not normal by the backup normality determination when the power is turned on, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 are turned on when the power is turned on. When at least one of them is not operated, the first game-disabled process is performed in step S107 regardless of whether the opening detection sensor SE7 detects opening of the door member. That is, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off, the power supply is started when it is determined that the backed-up game information is not normal in the memory content normality judgment accompanying the start of the power supply. Therefore, when at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated, regardless of whether the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member, the setting changeable state is not controlled and the error state is generated. The notification means notifies the error in a special manner. Therefore, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal in the memory content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply, the power supply is started. Accordingly, when at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated and the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member, the setting is controlled to be changeable. Instead, it is controlled to an error state, and the notification means notifies the error in a special manner.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is determined that the various information backed up is not normal by the backup normality determination when the power is turned on after the power is turned off, the opening detection sensor SE7 is opened when the power is turned on. When the opening of the member is not detected, regardless of whether the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the first game-disabled process is performed in step S107. That is, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off, when it is determined that the backed-up game information is not normal in the memory content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply, the power supply is started. Then, when the door opening detection means does not detect the opening of the door member, regardless of whether the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated, the setting changeable state is not controlled and the error state is controlled. The notification means notifies the error in a special manner. Therefore, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off, the power supply is started when it is determined that the backed-up game information is not normal in the memory content normality judgment accompanying the start of the power supply. Therefore, when at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated and the door opening detection means does not detect the opening of the door member, the setting changeable state is not controlled. Is controlled to an error state, and the error is notified by the notification means in a special manner. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the power is turned off while being controlled to any one of the game possible state, the setting confirmable state, and the setting changeable state, after the power is turned off, When it is determined by the power-on backup normality determination that the various information backed up is not normal, when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with power-on, and When the opening detection sensor SE7 does not detect the opening of the door member, the first unplayable game process is performed in step S107. That is, in the present embodiment, even when the power supply is cut off when the game supply state, the setting checkable state, or the setting changeable state is controlled, after the power supply is cut off. In the case where it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal in the memory content normality judgment with the start of the power supply, the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated along with the start of the power supply. When it is, and when the door opening detection means does not detect the opening of the door member, it is controlled to be in a game-disabled state, and the notification means notifies the error in a special mode.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the power is turned off while being controlled to the setting changeable state, the power is turned on when it is determined that the various information backed up is normal by the backup normal determination accompanying the power on. Accordingly, when at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated and the opening detection sensor SE7 detects the opening of the door member, the second step is executed in step S117 or step S122. Unplayable game processing is performed. That is, in the present embodiment, at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is accompanied by the start of the power supply after the power supply is cut off while being controlled to the setting changeable state. When it is not operated, and when the door opening detection means is detecting the opening of the door member, it is controlled to the error state without being controlled to the setting changeable state, and the notification means gives an error in a specific manner. Be informed. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting changeable state is controlled, it is determined that the backed up game information is normal in the memory content normality judgment accompanying the start of the power supply. In this case, when at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated due to the start of the power supply, and the door opening detection means opens the door member. While detecting, it is controlled to an error state without being controlled to the setting changeable state, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific mode.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the case where it is determined that the various information backed up is normal by the backup normality determination when the power is turned on after the power is turned off while being controlled to the setting changeable state, When the opening detection sensor SE7 does not detect the opening of the door member when the power is turned on, regardless of whether the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the second game-disabled process is performed in step S110. . That is, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting changeable state is controlled, the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member as the power supply is started. When there is not, regardless of whether the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated, the setting changeable state is not controlled but the error state is controlled, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific manner. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting changeable state is controlled, it is determined that the backed up game information is normal in the memory content normality judgment accompanying the start of the power supply. If the door opening detection means does not detect opening of the door member due to the start of power supply, the setting is performed regardless of whether the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated. Instead of being controlled to the changeable state, it is controlled to the error state, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific manner. Therefore, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting changeable state is controlled, it is determined that the backed-up game information is normal in the memory content normality judgment accompanying the start of the power supply. At this time, when the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are both operated with the start of the power supply, and the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member. When not present, the setting is not controlled to the changeable state but the error state is controlled, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific manner. Further, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting changeable state is being controlled, it is determined that the backed up game information is normal in the memory content normality judgment accompanying the start of the power supply. At this time, when at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated due to the start of the power supply, and the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member. If not, the setting is not controlled to the changeable state but the error state is controlled, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific manner.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the opening detection sensor SE7 detects the opening of the door member when the power is turned on after the power is turned off while being controlled to the setting changeable state, the RWM clear switch When at least one of 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated, it is controlled to a game-disabled state. At this time, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is determined that the various information backed up is normal by the backup normality determination when the power is turned on, the display device 45 displays a character string of [-E2]. . On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is determined that the various information backed up is not normal by the backup normality determination when the power is turned on, the display unit 45 displays the character string [-E1]. That is, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting changeable state is controlled, the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member as the power supply is started. Even when it is, when at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated, it is controlled to be in a game-disabled state, and it is determined that the game information backed up in the memory content normality determination is normal. While the notification means notifies the error in a specific mode, the notification means notifies the error in a special mode when it is determined in the storage content normality determination that the backed-up game information is not normal.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the opening detection sensor SE7 does not detect the opening of the door member when the power is turned on after the power is turned off while being controlled to the setting changeable state, the RWM clear switch Regardless of whether 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the game is disabled. At this time, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is determined that the various information backed up is normal by the backup normality determination when the power is turned on, the display device 45 displays a character string of [-E2]. . On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is determined that the various information backed up is not normal by the backup normality determination when the power is turned on, the display unit 45 displays the character string [-E1]. That is, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting changeable state is controlled, the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member as the power supply is started. If not, regardless of whether the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated, it is controlled to be in a game-disabled state, and the notification means is used when the game information backed up in the memory content normality judgment is judged to be normal. While the error is notified in a specific mode, the notification means notifies the error in a special mode when it is determined in the storage content normality determination that the backed up game information is not normal.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the power-on process, to determine which of the six settings from the first setting value to the sixth setting value is currently set You may comprise. By performing such a determination, it is possible to determine whether the numerical value with which the set value can be specified is within the appropriate numerical range. For example, the main control CPU 41a, in the area for storing a predetermined numerical value as information capable of specifying the currently set setting value, the actually stored numerical values are all from the first setting value to the sixth setting value. You may comprise so that it may determine whether it is a numerical value which shows the setting value of any of six steps. In addition, when it is determined that the currently set setting value is not one of all six levels from the first setting value to the sixth setting value, that is, when the numerical value that can specify the setting value is not within the appropriate numerical range. The main control CPU 41a may be configured to perform the first unplayable game process. Such a determination process of "whether the currently set set value is one of the six set values from the first set value to the sixth set value" returns in the power-on process based on the game information. It may be configured to be performed in some cases, or may be configured to be performed when the setting change processing is completed. The case where the numerical value with which the setting value can be specified is not within the appropriate numerical range corresponds to the case where the setting information is not normal.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured to determine whether or not the third type game information is normal in the power-on process. By making such a determination, it can be determined whether the information about the base value is normal. For example, the main control CPU 41a may be configured to determine whether the numerical value as the information necessary for counting the base value is within a possible numerical range, or the information necessary for displaying the base value is normal. It may be configured to determine whether or not The main control CPU 41a may be configured to initialize the information about the base value when it is determined that the information about the base value is not normal. In addition, after it is determined that the information regarding the base value is not normal in the power-on process, the main control CPU 41a may be configured to perform the first unplayable game process or the second unplayable game process to put it into the unplayable state. . Further, after it is determined that the information regarding the base value is not normal in the power-on processing, the main control CPU 41a may continue the subsequent processing without making the game inoperable state when the information regarding the base value is not normal. . For example, in the case where the determination process of "is the third type game information normal?" Is performed before the process of step S101, it is determined that the third type game information is not normal in the determination process, and the third type After the game information of the seed is initialized, the processing after step S101 may be continuously performed. Such a determination process of "whether the third type game information is normal" may be configured to be performed when returning based on the game information in the power-on process, or the process of step S101. It may be configured to be performed before. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, for example, when the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized in the power-on process, when the information about the base value is also initialized, the first type game information. , The second type game information and the third type game information are initialized. Similarly, in the present embodiment, for example, when the second type game information of the first type game information and the second type game information is initialized in the power-on process, the information regarding the base value is also initialized. When this is done, the second type game information and the third type game information among the first type game information, the second type game information and the third type game information will be initialized.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 41a that executes the power-on process shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 sets any setting information among the plurality of setting information that defines the degree of advantage regarding the special game. A function as a setting control unit configured to enable setting control is realized. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 41a that executes the first initialization process and the second initialization process is configured to be capable of initialization control for initializing at least a part of the backed up game information. Realizes the function as a computerization control means. Incidentally, when the third type of game information is initialized, the control for initializing the third type of game information can also be said to be a kind of initialization control for initializing at least a part of the backed up game information. ..

  Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a procedure and a control flow when an administrator of a game hall or the like only confirms the setting value without changing it will be described. In the following description, the effect display device 11, the speaker SP, and the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2 may be collectively referred to as a “notification device”.

  At the time point X10 shown in FIG. 12, it is assumed that the pachinko gaming machine 10 has not been powered on after the power has been turned off while it is controlled to the game-enabled state. At time point X10, since the power is not turned on, the sensors SE1 to SE7, the RWM clear switch 42, and the setter 43 are not operating. At time point X10, the display 45 is not displayed, no external signal is output from the external terminal board 70, no error notification is given by the notification device, and the main control CPU 41a is not activated.

  First, the administrator of the game arcade unlocks the locking device SS using the frame key, opens the mounting frame (middle frame WN and front frame WM), and turns on the setting device 43 using the setting key. (Time point X11). Next, the game hall manager operates the power switch 60a to the on state (power on) while the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated to the on state (off state), and the pachinko gaming machine 10 is operated. Is turned on (time point X12). At this time, the setting device 43 is maintained in the ON state. During the special period from time point X12 to time point X13, the main control CPU 41a executes a boot process (boot process) (indicated as booting in FIG. 12) and rises to a state in which various processes can be executed. In the period from time point X13 to time point X14, the main control CPU 41a reads the detection result of the switch regarding the setting control state. The switches related to the setting control state are, for example, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43.

  At time point X14, the main control CPU 41a starts the power-on process. At time X14, the main control CPU 41a opens the door member (indicated as door open ON in FIG. 12), the RWM clear switch 42 is in the off state, and the setting device 43 is in the on state. The setting can be confirmed. After the time point X14 has elapsed, the main control CPU 41a does not perform various processes based on whether the operation state of the RWM clear switch 42 is the ON state, as indicated by "input unquestioned" in the figure.

  Next, the manager of the game arcade operates the setting device 43 to the off state using the setting key (time point X15). At time X15, the main control CPU 41a ends the setting confirmable state because the operation state of the setting device 43 has been switched to the off state. Then, in the period from the time point X15 to the time point X16, the main control CPU 41a performs a process for ending the setting confirmable state and bringing it to the playable state, as shown in the figure "setting confirmation ending". Enable state. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 41a does not, in principle, initialize the RWM area between the time the power is turned on and the time the game is enabled when the setting confirmation state is set.

  In the period from time point X12 to time point X16 (that is, from the time the power is turned on to the time when the game is ready), the main control CPU 41a does not perform not only the control for displaying the base value but also the control for counting the base value. . That is, the main control CPU 41a does not count the base value when it is controlled to the setting confirmable state. At the time point X16, the main control CPU 41a ends the setting confirmable state, and therefore, based on various information that has been backed up, performs various processes regarding the progress of the game, controls regarding the counting of the base value, and displays the base value. Control and start. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a restarts the counting of the base value and restarts the control of displaying the base value based on various information stored and held by the backup function. Therefore, the display of the base value, which was displayed when the power supply was stopped, returns to the display unit 45. That is, the display content of the display unit 45 is restored to the display content when the power was turned off when the power is turned on. After that, as the game progresses along with the launch of the game ball, the base value is counted accordingly.

  During the period up to time point X14, the indicator 45 is in the off state, as indicated by "display off" in the figure. In the period from the time point X14 to the time point X16, the display device 45 displays to notify the set value set at that time point. Therefore, the manager of the game arcade can recognize the set value set in the pachinko game machine 10 by visually recognizing the display content of the display device 45 on the back side of the game board YB. Note that the display unit 45 maintains the display of the set value even if the door member is closed while the setting confirmation state is maintained (that is, the setting unit 43 is not operated in the OFF state). In the period after the time point X16, the display unit 45 constantly (continuously) displays the base value and the identifier while switching the display of the first base value and the display of the second base value. Therefore, the manager of the game arcade can recognize the base value by visually observing the display content of the display device 45 on the back side of the game board YB.

  In the period up to time point X14, no external signal is output from the external terminal board 70. In the period from time point X14 to time point X15, the external terminal board 70 outputs the security signal. In the present embodiment, the output period of the security signal is the longer one of the period during which the setting can be confirmed and the predetermined period (for example, 50 ms). That is, when the set value is displayed, the security signal is output. Therefore, even if the manager of the game arcade is a person other than the person who directly maintains the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is easy to use the hall computer to be in the setting confirmable state or the setting changeable state. Can be inferred. It should be noted that when an error is detected in the external terminal board 70 in the period after the time point X16, an external signal corresponding to the detected error is output.

  The notification device does not perform any notification during the period up to time point X14. In the period from time point X14 to time point X16, the notification device performs setting confirmation notification. In the present embodiment, the execution period of the setting confirmation notification is the longer one of the period in which the setting confirmation is possible and the predetermined period (for example, 50 ms). Therefore, the manager of the game arcade can understand that the setting can be confirmed from the notification contents of the notification device without looking into the back side of the game board YB. For example, the time required for one unit notification constituting the setting confirmation notification is 1 second. Generally, it takes several minutes for the administrator to confirm the setting. Therefore, the length of the period for performing the setting confirmation notification is a period for which the unit notification of the setting confirmation notification can be performed at least twice. is there.

  In addition, in the period after the time point X16, when an error is detected, the notification device performs notification according to the detected error. Further, the notification device of the present embodiment is also used as an effect device that executes various effects (game effects) related to the game. Therefore, in the period after the time point X16, the notification device (effect device) performs the game effect related to the special game or the big hit game unless an error is detected. At the time point X16, the effect display device 11 displays the initial screen.

  In the period until the time point X14, the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b are in the off state in which no information is notified. In the period from the time point X14 to the time point X15, the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b perform display according to the setting notification pattern, as shown in the drawing as "display during setting confirmation". Therefore, if the administrator of the game hall can visually check the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b without looking into the back side of the game board YB, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be in the setting confirmable state or the setting changeable state. Can be grasped. In the period from time point X15 to time point X16, the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b are turned off again. In the period after the time point X16, the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b do not perform the display according to the setting notification pattern, but are in a state where the special game can be displayed. At the time point X16, the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b display the initial special symbol.

  In the period up to time X13, the sensors SE1 to SE7, the RWM clear switch 42, and the setter 43 (hereinafter, may be collectively referred to as “switches”) do not have the main control CPU 41a itself started up, and the detection result Is not read by the main control CPU 41a. The main control CPU 41a reads the detection results of the switches, depending on whether or not the detection signal is received from each switch, depending on whether or not the detection signal is received from each switch, the detection signal is received in an area corresponding to each switch in the RWM area. This means storing information that can specify the presence or absence. And, being invalid for the switches means that the detection result is not read, and being valid for the switches means that the detection result is read. It should be noted that it is possible to assume that the switches are invalid in the first place, or that the main control CPU 41a does not read the detection result, although the switches are not operating in the first place. Therefore, in the period up to the time point X13, all the switches are invalid as indicated by "all switches invalid" in the figure. In the period from time X13 to time X16, the sensors SE1 to SE6 of the switches are invalid because the detection result is not read by the main control CPU 41a. That is, when the setting controllable state is controlled, the switches other than the setting control state switch and the illegality switch are invalid. On the other hand, in the period from the time point X13 to the time point X16, among the switches, the open detection sensor SE7, the RWM clear switch 42, and the setter 43 are effective because the detection results are read by the main control CPU 41a. That is, when the setting controllable state is controlled, the switch related to the setting control state is effective. In the period from the time point X13 to the time point X16, the detection results of the magnetic sensor, the radio wave sensor, and the vibration sensor among the switches are read by the main control CPU 41a, which is effective. In the period after the time point X16, all the switches are valid, as indicated by "all switches valid" in the figure. That is, at least the sensors SE1 to SE6 are effective when the base value is displayed. Further, in the period from time point X15 to time point X16, each of the sensors SE1 to SE6 remains ineffective.

  In the period after time X14, the detection result of the RWM clear switch 42 is not referred to by the main control CPU 41a and is not used for various processes, as indicated by "input unquestioned" in the figure. That is, in the period from time point X14 to time point X15, the main control CPU 41a does not initialize the RWM area and does not change the set value even if the RWM clear switch 42 is operated. Further, in the period after time X15, the main control CPU 41a does not initialize the RWM area, does not change the set setting value, and displays the setting value even if the RWM clear switch 42 is operated. Also does not. Further, the operation result of the setter 43 in the period after the time point X16 is not referred to by the main control CPU 41a and is not used for various processes, as indicated by "input unquestioned" in the figure. That is, in the period after the time point X16 (after completion of the setting confirmable state, that is, when the base value is displayed), the main control CPU 41a does not shift to the setting control state even if the setting device 43 is operated, and , The set value is not displayed.

  Then, when the manager of the game arcade completes the confirmation of the set value, the door member is closed (time point X17). At time X17, the main control CPU 41a does not notify the initialization because the RWM area has not been initialized. That is, the notification device does not perform initialization notification at time point X17. At time point X17, the external terminal board 70 does not output the security signal. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the security signal is output if the setting confirmable state ends, but when the setting confirmable state ends, the security signal is not output again and the output of the security signal is extended. Not done. On the other hand, at time point X17, the main control CPU 41a causes a power recovery notification to be performed. In this way, after the setting checkable state and the gameable state at time X16, the door member is closed (time X17), and the power recovery notification is given.

  Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a procedure and a control flow when an administrator of a game hall or the like changes and confirms the set value will be described. In the following description, only the points that are different from the setting confirmation state will be described in detail, and the detailed description of common points will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 13, first, the manager of the game arcade unlocks the locking device SS by using the frame key managed by himself, opens the door member, and sets the setter 43 by using the setting key. It is turned on (time point X11). Next, the manager of the game arcade operates the RWM clear switch 42 in the ON state to operate the power switch 60a in the ON state (power ON) to turn on the pachinko gaming machine 10 (time point X12). ). The main control CPU 41a executes the start-up process from time point X12 to time point X13, and reads the detection results of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from time point X13 to time point X14. At time X14, the main control CPU 41a executes a power-on process. At time X14, the main control CPU 41a sets the RWM clear switch 42 in the on state and the setter 43 in the on state, and thus sets the setting changeable state.

  Each time the operation signal (detection signal) is input from the RWM clear switch 42, the main control CPU 41a changes the currently set set value to the next set value in the period from time point X14 to time point X15. In the period from time point X14 to time point X15, the main control CPU 41a controls the display device 45 to display the currently set setting value. That is, from the time point X14 to the time point X15, the display device 45 displays the set value that has been backed up before the setting switch is operated, and after the setting switch is operated, the set value after the setting switch is changed is displayed. Display the set value. The display unit 45 maintains the display of the set value even if the door member is closed while the setting changeable state is left (that is, the setting unit 43 is not operated in the OFF state).

  Next, the manager of the game arcade operates the setting device 43 to the off state using the setting key (time point X15). At time X15, the main control CPU 41a ends the setting changeable state because the operation state of the setting device 43 has been switched to the off state. That is, at time X15, the set value is confirmed. Then, in the period from the time point X15 to the time point X16, the main control CPU 41a performs a process for ending the setting changeable state and bringing it to the playable state, as shown in the figure "setting change ending". Enable state. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 41a initializes the RWM area between the time the power is turned on and the time the game is ready when the setting changeable state is set.

  In the period from time point X12 to time point X16, the main control CPU 41a does not perform not only the control regarding the display of the base value but also the control regarding the counting of the base value. That is, the main control CPU 41a does not count the base value when the setting change state is possible. At the time point X16, the main control CPU 41a ends the setting changeable state. The control regarding the counting and the control regarding the display of the base value are started. At this time, the main control CPU 41a does not care whether or not the setting value is actually changed and set in the setting changeable state this time. That is, the main control CPU 41a, in the setting changeable state of this time, whether the set value is changed and set Based on, the control regarding the counting of the base value and the control regarding the display of the base value are started. Therefore, the display content of the display unit 45 is restored to the display content when the power is turned off, regardless of whether the setting is changed.

  In the period from the time point X14 to the time point X16, the display device 45 displays to notify the set value set at that time point. Therefore, the manager of the game arcade can recognize the set value (including the changed value) set in the pachinko game machine 10 by visually confirming the display content of the display device 45 on the back side of the game board YB. In the period after the time point X16, the display unit 45 constantly (continuously) displays the base value and the identifier while switching the display of the first base value and the display of the second base value. Therefore, the manager of the game arcade can recognize the base value by visually observing the display content of the display device 45 on the back side of the game board YB.

  During the period from time point X14 to time point X16, the external terminal board 70 outputs a security signal. That is, when the set value is displayed, the security signal is output. Therefore, even if the manager of the game hall is a person other than the person who directly maintains the pachinko gaming machine 10, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be in the setting confirmable state or the setting changeable state by using the hall computer. It can be easily inferred.

  In the period from time point X14 to time point X16, the notification device performs setting change notification. In the present embodiment, the execution period of the setting change notification is the longer one of the period in which the setting can be changed and the predetermined period (for example, 50 ms). Therefore, the manager of the game arcade can understand that the setting can be changed from the notification content of the notification device without looking into the back side of the game board YB. For example, the time required for one unit notification constituting the setting change notification is 1 second. Generally, since it takes several minutes for an administrator to make a setting change, the length of the period (specific period) in which the setting change notification is made is such that the unit notification of the setting change notification can be made at least twice. It is a period.

  In the period from the time point X14 to the time point X15, the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b perform display according to the setting notification pattern, as shown in the figure as "display during setting change". Therefore, if the manager of the game hall can visually check the special symbol display portions 19a and 19b without looking into the back side of the game board YB, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be in the setting confirmable state or the setting changeable state. Can be recognized.

  Then, the manager of the game arcade closes the door member after finishing the setting change (time point X17). At the time point X17, the main control CPU 41a performs initialization notification because the RWM area has been initialized. At time point X17, the notification device performs initialization notification for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds). At time point X17, the external terminal board 70 outputs a security signal. That is, after switching to the display of the information on the base value, the same external signal as when being controlled to the setting control state is output. In this way, the initialization notification is given when the door member is closed (time point X17) after the setting changeable state and the game possible state at time point X16.

  In the period up to the time point X13 (including the special period), all the switches are invalid as indicated by "all switches invalid" in the figure. In the period from the time point X13 to the time point X16, the sensors SE1 to SE6 among the switches are invalid, while the open detection sensor SE7, the RWM clear switch 42, and the setter 43 among the switches are valid. In the period after the time point X16, all the switches are valid, as indicated by "all switches valid" in the figure. Further, in the period in which the transition process is performed from the time point X15 to the time point X16, the respective sensors SE1 to SE6 remain invalid.

  The detection result of the RWM clear switch 42 in the period after the time point X15 is not referred to by the main control CPU 41a and is not used for various processes, as indicated by "input unquestioned" in the figure. That is, in the period after time X15, the main control CPU 41a does not initialize the RWM even if the RWM clear switch 42 is operated, does not change the set value that has been set, and displays the set value. Not performed. Further, the operation result of the setter 43 in the period after the time point X16 is not referred to by the main control CPU 41a and is not used for various processes, as indicated by "input unquestioned" in the figure. That is, in the period after the time point X16 (after the setting changeable state is finished, that is, when the base value is displayed), the main control CPU 41a shifts to the setting control state even if the setter 43 is turned on. In addition, the set value is not displayed.

  Hereinafter, according to FIG. 14 (a) to FIG. 14 (d), among various notifications executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, regarding the setting control status notification, the RWM clear notification, and the power recovery notification, It will be explained together with its action.

  As shown in FIG. 14A, in the setting changeable state, setting change notification including notification by sound, notification by light, and notification by display is executed, and notification of sound, light, and display are both performed. It is specified that the setting can be changed. Specifically, the notification is performed by a dedicated sound, a dedicated light emission pattern, and a dedicated display including a character image of “setting being changed” as shown in FIG. 14C. On the other hand, in the setting confirmable state, similarly to the setting changeable state, the setting confirmation notification including the notification by sound, the notification by light, and the notification by display is executed. The specifications are such that the settings can be confirmed. Specifically, the notification is performed by a dedicated sound, a dedicated light emission pattern, and a dedicated display including a character image of "setting confirmation" as shown in FIG. 14D.

  As described above, in the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state, the notification is executed using the same means such as the speaker SP, the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11, but the setting changeable state. The content of the notification is changed depending on whether or not the setting can be confirmed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the setting changeable state or the setting confirmable state, the notification is executed so that the types of the setting control states can be distinguished. Further, each of the setting change notification and the setting confirmation notification includes a notification by the effect display device 11 and a notification by the speaker SP. Then, in the setting change notification, the effect display device 11 performs the notification “setting is being changed”, while the speaker SP outputs the dedicated sound for the setting change notification. Therefore, the effect display device 11 and the speaker SP are related to each other. The notification is made. In addition, the dedicated sound of the setting change notification is a voice in which the character string "setting being changed" is read aloud, and is associated with the character string "setting being changed" displayed on the effect display device 11. Further, in the setting confirmation notification, the effect display device 11 executes the notification of “setting confirmation”, while the speaker SP outputs the dedicated sound at the time of the setting confirmation notification. Relevant information is given. It should be noted that the dedicated sound for the setting confirmation notification is a voice in which the character string “during setting confirmation” is read aloud, and is associated with the character string “during setting confirmation” displayed on the effect display device 11.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the backed up game information is initialized (RWM clear) to enter the playable state, it is initialized into the playable state. The RWM clear notification can be executed as the initialization notification capable of specifying the fact. The RWM clear notification includes sound notification, light notification, and display notification. Both the sound and light notifications are specified as RWM clear notification, and the normal screen is displayed in the display notification. It Specifically, a notification by a dedicated sound, a notification by a dedicated light emission pattern, and an image of an initial combination of effect symbols (for example, [123]) as a normal screen and a background image are executed.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the backed up game information is not initialized and is in a playable state, a power recovery notification is given as a non-initialization notification that can specify that the game information has been transferred without being initialized. Is feasible. The power recovery notification includes sound notification, light notification, and display notification. The sound notification is the power recovery notification specification, and the light notification is the RWM clear notification specification. Further, in the notification of the display, the normal screen is displayed. Specifically, a notification by a dedicated sound, a notification by a dedicated light emission pattern, and an image (for example, [456]) of a power recovery combination of effect symbols as a normal screen and a background image are performed.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the RWM clear notification is executed when the setting changeable state is entered and the gaming enabled state is reached, and the RWM clear notification executed at this time is a game without the setting changeable state. The same notification as the RWM clear notification when the state becomes possible is executed. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the power recovery notification is executed when the game is ready after the setting checkable state, and the power recovery notification executed at this time can be played without the setting checkable state. The same notification as the power recovery notification when the status is reached is executed.

  The RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification are different from each other in sound notification and display notification, but are the same in light notification. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the RWM clear notification is executed after the setting control state ends, it can be recognized from the content of the RWM clear notification that the setting changeable state of the setting control state has ended. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the power recovery notification is executed after the end of the setting control state, it can be recognized from the content of the power recovery notification that the setting confirmable state of the setting control states has ended. It should be noted that the notification by the display in the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification can be regarded as the same notification only by considering the combination of the effect design and the background image, but the effect at the time of the RWM clear and the power recovery. If the combination of symbols is also considered, it can be considered as a different notification.

  Further, as described above, the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification that can specify that the game is in the playable state are notified when the setting changeable state is passed and when the setting checkable state is passed. Is different. It can be said that the means for executing the notification is the same because the RWM clear and the power recovery notification in the present embodiment are executed by each notification by sound, light, and display, but the content of notification of some means is different. Therefore, the notification mode as the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification is different. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification are given priority over the door opening notification capable of specifying that the door member is opened. In addition, when the notification mode is changed, the type of the notification means may be changed.

  Further, the speaker SP, the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11 that notify the setting change in the setting changeable state display the notification content from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 even when the door member is closed. It is an identifiable means. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, although it can be recognized that the setting change is possible from the notification contents of the speaker SP, the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11 which notify the setting change, the setting information can be recognized. I can't recognize until the change. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can recognize that the setting information has been changed from the notification content of the display device 45 that can specify the notification content when the door member is open.

  Further, the speaker SP, the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11 that perform setting confirmation notification in the setting confirmation possible state the notification content from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 even when the door member is closed. It is an identifiable means. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to recognize that the setting confirmation is possible from the notification contents of the speaker SP, the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11 that perform the setting confirmation notification, but at that time. The setting information set in 1 cannot be recognized. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can recognize the setting information set at that time from the notification content of the display 45 that can specify the notification content when the door member is opened.

  Next, according to FIG. 15 (a) to FIG. 15 (c), regarding the display content of the display device 45 and the display content of the effect display device 11 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is in a game-disabled state, It will be explained together with the action.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, when the first game-disabled process is performed and the game is disabled, a character string of [-E1] is displayed on the display 45, and an error is displayed on the display 45. Is notified. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the situation in which the character string of [-E1] is displayed on the display device 45 to notify the error is the following situation. As shown in FIG. 6, in the first situation, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal when it is determined whether the backed up game information is normal when the power is turned on, When at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated, and the door member is open. The second situation is that, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal when it is determined whether the backed up game information is normal when the power is turned on, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device are turned on when the power is turned on. Irrespective of the operation of 43, the door member is not opened.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15B, when the second game-disabled process is performed and the game is disabled, the display unit 45 displays a character string of [-E2] and the display unit 45 displays. Error is reported. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the situation in which the character string of [-E2] is displayed on the display device 45 and the error is notified is the following situation. As shown in FIG. 6, in the first situation, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 is turned on when the power is turned on after the power is turned off while being controlled to the setting changeable state. It is a state where it is not operated and the door member is open. The second situation is that the door member is opened regardless of the operation of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 when the power is turned on after the power is turned off while being controlled to the setting changeable state. There is no situation. In these situations, it is premised that it is determined that the backed up game information is normal when it is determined whether the backed up game information when the power is turned on is normal.

  In this way, the display content of the display unit 45 is different between the case where the first game-disabled process is performed and the game is disabled, and the case where the second game-disabled process is performed and the game is disabled. Therefore, when the game is disabled, by confirming the display content of the display 45, it is possible to estimate to some extent what kind of situation the game is disabled.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15 (c), "Please change the setting" is displayed on the effect display device 11 regardless of whether the first unplayable process or the second unplayable process is performed. The character image of is displayed. The character image of "please change the setting" includes the content for notifying that it is recommended that the setting be changed. In addition, the text image “Please change the setting” indicates that the door member is open and that it is recommended to operate the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 to turn on the power. It can be said that it includes.

  In this way, the display contents of the effect display device 11 are the same in the case where the first game-disabled process is performed and the game is disabled, and the case where the second game-disabled process is performed and the game is disabled. is there. Therefore, when the game is disabled, it is not possible to specify the situation in which the game is disabled from the display contents of the effect display device 11. On the other hand, the effect display device 11 displays a character image of "please change the setting." Then, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are both operated to turn on the power ”.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the game is disabled, it is possible to infer the cause of the game disabled from the display content of the display device 45, and the game content is disabled from the display content of the effect display device 11. It is possible to recognize a method for eliminating the condition.

The effects of the present embodiment will be described below.
(1) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. However, in the pachinko gaming machine configured as described above, the RWM clear switch 42 (initialization operation means) and the setting device 43 (setting operation means) are configured to be changeable even if they are operated. However, for example, it is possible that the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are illegally operated and the set value is changed without opening the door member. Therefore, even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the door can be set by changing the setting only when the opening of the door member is detected. It is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud.

  (2) In the situation where the opening of the door member is not detected, when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the setting changeable state is not entered but the game enabled state is entered. In this way, in the situation where the opening of the door member is not detected, even if the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the game is in a playable state. Even if something goes in and the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, it becomes possible to play a game. Then, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player cannot play the game even though he / she has not performed fraud, and further it is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that the gaming machine has failed due to the situation.

  (3) When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off when the game is possible, it is backed up regardless of whether the door member is open. Of the game information, the second type of game information is initialized. In this way, when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the backed up game information is initialized regardless of the opening of the door member, while the setting changeable state is the door member. Depending on the release of, the setting can be changed or not changed. As described above, when the power is turned off after the power is turned off in the game-enabled state, by changing the specifications or design of the game machine by providing a part that considers whether or not the door member is opened and a part that does not. And the like can be easily performed.

  (4) By making it possible to set any one of a plurality of setting values (setting information), it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine capable of suppressing such a decrease in interest, when only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated with the power-on, the set value being set. Confirmable settings can be confirmed. As a result, if the setting can be confirmed, the set value being set can be confirmed. However, in such a pachinko gaming machine that can be in the setting confirmable state, the set value being set can be confirmed because only the setter 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 is operated. For example, it is possible that the setter 43 is illegally operated and the set value being set is confirmed without opening the door member. Therefore, even if only the setting device 43 is operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the game-enabled state, only when the opening of the door member is detected. By configuring the setting checkable state, it is possible to prevent the setting checkable state from being operated by operating only the setting device 43 without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value being set from being confirmed due to fraud.

  (5) In the situation where the opening of the door member is not detected when the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the game is possible, only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated. If it is, the setting confirmation state is not established and the game is enabled. In this way, in the situation where the opening of the door member is not detected when the power is turned on after the power is turned off in the game possible state, even if the setting device 43 is operated, the game is possible. By doing so, it is possible to play a game even if something is caught in the door member and only the setting device 43 is operated, not only a fraudulent act. It is possible to suppress a situation in which a game cannot be played even if there is none, and further it is possible to prevent a player from misunderstanding that a game machine has failed due to such a situation.

  (6) After the power is turned off in the game-enabled state, when the power is turned on, when only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated, is the door member opened? Regardless of the above, neither the first type game information nor the second type game information is initialized out of the backed up game information. In this way, when only the setting device 43 is operated, the backed up game information is not initialized regardless of the opening of the door member, while the setting confirmable state depends on the opening of the door member. , The setting can be confirmed or not changed. As described above, when the power is turned off after the power is turned off in the game-enabled state, by changing the specifications or design of the game machine by providing a part that considers whether or not the door member is opened and a part that does not. And the like can be easily performed.

  (7) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, The configuration can be changed again only when the opening is detected. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud. Furthermore, in the situation where the opening of the door member is not detected even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state. , It has become impossible to play the game. For example, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the set value may not be set normally. For this reason, it becomes possible to urge the user to set the set value again when the game becomes impossible.

  (8) When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated in response to the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, and the door member is opened. At this time, of the game information, the first type of game information is not initialized, and the second type of game information is initialized. That is, among the game information, the first type game information is not initialized, while the second type game information is initialized. In this way, by initializing not all of the game information, but a part of the game information, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state. And, in the situation where the door member is opened, the game information to be initialized and the game information that should not be initialized can be distinguished from each other and returned from the power-on.

  (9) When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated in response to the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, and the door member is not opened. At this time, neither the first type game information nor the second type game information is initialized. For example, when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated in response to the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, and the door member is not opened. , The game is disabled. In this way, since it is not necessary to initialize the first type game information and the second type game information, by not initializing the first type game information and the second type game information. The control for initializing the first type game information and the second type game information can be omitted, and the processing load can be reduced.

  (10) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, regardless of whether the power is turned off in the game-enabled state or the setting-changeable state, both the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated in accordance with the power-on, and , When the door member is open, the setting can be changed. Therefore, regardless of whether the power is turned off in the playable state or the setting changeable state, the setting changeable state is set by opening the door member and operating both the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43. be able to. On the other hand, after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated due to the power being turned on, and the door member is opened. When the game is being played, the setting cannot be changed and the game is disabled. For example, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the set value may not be set normally. For this reason, the power may be turned on when the door member is open, and at the time of turning on the power, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 may not be operated to enter the setting changeable state. In this case, it is possible to urge the user to set the set value again by setting the game inoperative state.

  (11) When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, and the door member is opened. At this time, among the game information, the first type game information is not initialized, and the second type game information is initialized. That is, among the game information, the first type game information is not initialized, while the second type game information is initialized. In this way, by initializing not all of the game information, but a part of the game information, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state. And, in the situation where the door member is opened, the game information to be initialized and the game information that should not be initialized can be distinguished from each other and returned from the power-on.

  (12) Even when the power is turned off when the door member is open after the power is turned off when the game is possible, by the combination of the operation / non-operation of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43, In some cases, the game can be returned to the playable state, and in other cases, the setting can be confirmed or the setting can be changed. Therefore, it is possible to branch to various states by two types of operation means. Further, by configuring the setting checkable state, it becomes possible to check the set value being set.

  (13) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in game development in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, The configuration can be changed again only when the opening is detected. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting information from being changed due to fraud. Furthermore, after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, when at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated due to the power being turned on, the door member is opened. Even if the door member is not opened, it is impossible to play the game. For example, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the set value may not be set normally. Therefore, regardless of whether the door member is open, it is possible to prompt the user to set the set value again by setting the game inoperative state.

  (14) When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated in response to the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, and the door member is opened. At this time, of the game information, the first type of game information is not initialized, and the second type of game information is initialized. That is, among the game information, the first type game information is not initialized, while the second type game information is initialized. In this way, by initializing not all of the game information, but a part of the game information, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state. And, in the situation where the door member is opened, the game information to be initialized and the game information that should not be initialized can be distinguished from each other and returned from the power-on.

  (15) When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, and the door member is not opened. At this time, the game is disabled, and neither the first type game information nor the second type game information is initialized. Similarly, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated due to the power being turned on, and the door member is opened. Even when the door member is not opened, the game is disabled, and neither the first type game information nor the second type game information is initialized. For example, in a situation in which the game cannot be played, there is no need to initialize the first type game information and the second type game information, so the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized. By not converting the information, the control for initializing the first type game information and the second type game information can be omitted, and the processing load can be reduced.

  (16) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 are operated when the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the setting value can be confirmed.

In this way, by initializing not all of the game information, but a part of the game information, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state. And, in the situation where the door member is opened, the game information to be initialized and the game information that should not be initialized can be distinguished from each other and returned from the power-on. Further, after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated due to the power being turned on, and the door member is opened. When it is done, an error occurs and neither the first type game information nor the second type game information is initialized. Similarly, after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, when the door member is not opened when the power is turned on, an error occurs regardless of whether the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 are operated. With the state, neither the first type game information nor the second type game information is initialized. For example, in an error situation, there is no need to initialize the first type game information and the second type game information, so the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized. By not doing so, the control for initializing the first type game information and the second type game information can be omitted, and the processing load can be reduced.

  (33) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated when it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is not normal after the power is turned off. In addition, the setting changeable state is configured only when the door member is opened. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud. In addition, when it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is not normal, “When at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated due to the power being turned on, In addition, "when the door member is open" and "when the door member is not open due to power-on", the error is notified in the same special manner. Therefore, for example, it is possible to suppress misunderstanding that a different event is notified by changing the error notification mode.

  (34) When it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is not normal after the power is turned off, “At least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated when the power is turned on. When not, and when the door member is opened "and" when the door member is not opened due to power-on ", an error state occurs and the first type of game information. And neither of the second type game information is initialized. For example, in an error situation, there is no need to initialize the first type game information and the second type game information, so the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized. By not doing so, the control for initializing the first type game information and the second type game information can be omitted, and the processing load can be reduced.

  (35) In the case where it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is normal after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state in which the set value can be changed, when the power is turned on, Even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the setting changeable state is set only when the door member is opened. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud. Further, when it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is normal after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, “When the power is turned on, the RWM clear switch 42 and the settings are set. When at least one of the containers 43 is not operated and the door member is opened "and" when the door member is not opened due to power-on ", an error state occurs. , The error is notified in a specific manner. For example, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the set value may not be set normally. Therefore, by setting an error state and notifying the error in a specific mode, it is possible to prompt the user to set the set value again. Further, when it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is normal after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, “When the power is turned on, the RWM clear switch 42 and the settings are set. When at least one of the containers 43 is not operated and the door member is opened "and" when the door member is not opened due to power-on ", an error occurs in the same specific mode. Be informed. Therefore, for example, it is possible to suppress misunderstanding that a different event is notified by changing the error notification mode. Further, since the error is notified in a specific mode different from the special mode, it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is normal, depending on whether the error mode is the special mode or the specific mode. Can be specified.

  (36) The display content of the effect display device 11 (display device) is the same whether the error is notified in the specific mode or when the error is notified in the special mode. I did it. Therefore, it is not possible to specify from the display content of the effect display device 11 whether or not the backed up game information is determined to be normal. Therefore, the error notified by the display device 45 (informing means) is specified. It is necessary to confirm whether it is an aspect or a special aspect. This can effectively prompt confirmation of the error mode on the display 45 when an error state occurs.

  (37) By making it possible to set any one of a plurality of setting values (setting information), it is possible to cause a change in the game development in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine capable of suppressing such a decrease in interest, after the power is turned off in any one of the playable state and the setting checkable state, the RWM clear switch 42 and the RWM clear switch 42 and When only the setting device 43 of the setting devices 43 is being operated, the setting confirmation state can be set. As a result, if the setting can be confirmed, the set value being set can be confirmed. On the other hand, after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, even if only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated when the power is turned on, the setting checkable state Instead, it has become impossible to play the game. For example, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the set value may not be set normally. For this reason, after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, even if only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated in response to the power being turned on, the game is in the inoperable state. By doing so, it is possible to urge the user to set the set value again.

  (38) Even if the power is turned off in any of the game-enabled state, the setting-checkable state, and the setting-changeable state, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power-on thereafter. However, the setting changeable state is set only when the door member is opened. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud.

  (39) Even when the power is turned off in any of the game-enabled state, the setting-checkable state, and the setting-changeable state, the door member is opened when the power is turned on after the power is turned off. When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the second type game information of the first type game information and the second type game information is initialized. On the other hand, when only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated, neither the first type game information nor the second type game information is initialized. In this way, in the case of operating both the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 and in the case of operating only the setting device 43, the second type of the game information of the first type and the game information of the second type is selected. By changing the presence or absence of initialization of the game information, it becomes possible to select the initialization of the second type of game information by operating the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43.

  (40) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the door member is It is configured so that the setting can be changed again only when it is opened. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud. Further, after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the door member is not opened due to the power being turned on, and even if the door member is opened, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 are set. In a situation where at least one of them is not operated, the game is disabled so that the player cannot play the game. For example, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the set value may not be set normally. Therefore, irrespective of whether the door member is open, it is possible to prompt the user to set the set value again by controlling the game-disabled state.

  (41) After the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, when the power is turned on, “when the door member is not open” or “when the door member is open, RWM When at least one of the clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated ", the game is disabled. At this time, when the backed up game information is normal, an error is notified in a specific manner, while when the backed up game information is not normal, an error is notified in a special manner. As a result, even if the game is disabled after the power is turned off after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, depending on whether the error mode is the special mode or the specific mode, the power source is changed. It is possible to specify whether or not the game information backed up with the input is normal.

  (42) After the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 are operated in response to the turning on of the power supply, and the setting changeable state is set when the door member is opened. Even in such a case, when it is determined that the backed up game information is normal, the second type game information of the first type game information and the second type game information is initialized. On the other hand, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, both the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from returning based on the abnormal game information and the game from being executed based on the abnormal game information.

  (43) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, after the power is turned off, when the power is turned on, the setter 43 is operated in addition to the RWM clear switch 42, and the backed up game information is not normal. When it is determined that the setting can be changed only when the door member is open. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud. In addition, if the setting device 43 is not operated in addition to the RWM clear switch 42, the door member is opened when it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is not normal after the power is turned off. Even when there is, the setting cannot be changed. Therefore, for example, compared to the case where the setting changeable state is obtained even if only one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated, the security for making the setting changeable state can be improved. .

  (44) When it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is not normal after the power is turned off, when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 are operated when the power is turned on. If there is, and when the door member is opened, both the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized. In this way, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, both the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized, so that the possibility that the game information is not normal It is possible to return based on the set value set anew in the setting changeable state without being affected by the backed up first type game information and second type game information. In addition, when it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is not normal after the power is turned off, “only the RWM clear switch 42 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is accompanied by the power on. Is operated and when the door member is open ”and“ when the door member is not open ”, the game becomes impossible to play and the first type game Neither the information nor the second game information is initialized. Thus, when the game is disabled, there is no need to initialize the first type game information and the second type game information, and the first type game information and the second type game information are not initialized. By doing so, the control for initializing the first type game information and the second type game information can be omitted, and the processing load can be reduced.

  (45) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, when it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is normal after the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device are turned on when the power is turned on. When at least one of 43 is not operated and the door member is opened, an error state is set, and the error is notified in a specific manner. For example, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, the set value may not be set normally. Therefore, by setting an error state and notifying the error in a specific mode, it is possible to prompt the user to set the set value again. Further, when it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is not normal after the power is turned off, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 is being operated when the power is turned on. When there is not, and when the door member is opened, an error state occurs, and the error is notified in a special mode. When it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, it is conceivable that the backed up game information is being rewritten illegally, or that the fraudulent acts are affecting the backed up game information. Therefore, by setting an error state and notifying the error in a special mode, it is possible to prompt the user to set the set value again. In addition, when at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated due to power-on, and when the door member is opened, the backed up game information is normal. When it is determined that the error is notified in a specific manner, when it is determined that it is not normal, the error is notified in a special manner. This makes it possible to specify whether the backed up game information is determined to be normal, depending on whether the error mode is the special mode or the specific mode.

  (46) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the setting can be changed only when the door member is opened. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud. Further, after the power is turned off in the game-enabled state, when the power is turned on, only the RWM clear switch 42 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 is operated, and is the door member opened? Regardless of this, the game can be played without changing the setting. In this way, even if the door member is opened, the setting change is not possible when only the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 are being operated, so that the setting change is possible. In addition to the RWM clear switch 42, the setter 43 must be operated. With this configuration, it is possible to enhance security for making the setting changeable.

  (47) After the power is turned off in the game-enabled state, when the power is turned on, "when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, and the door member is opened. When "," when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, and when the door member is not opened "and" the RWM clear switch 42 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 only "When it is being operated", the second type of game information is initialized in the backed up game information. In this way, regarding the backed up game information, regardless of whether the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated or only the RWM clear switch 42 is operated, regardless of whether the door member is opened or not. , Initialized. On the other hand, the setting changeable state is not set when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated and the door member is not opened. In this way, in the situation where the power is turned off and then turned on in the game-enabled state, "whether the setter 43 is operated in addition to the RWM clear switch 42" or "setting in addition to the RWM clear switch 42" is set. By providing a part that considers whether the door member is opened when the device 43 is operated and a part that does not consider it, it is possible to easily change the specifications or design of the gaming machine.

  (48) When only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated with the power-on, the setting value that is being set can be checked so that the setting can be checked. As a result, when the setting can be confirmed, it is possible to confirm the setting value being set, and it is possible to change the setting value, that is, whether the setting value needs to be changed. It can be confirmed without setting the status.

  (49) By making the setting value changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even if the power is turned off in any of the game-enabled state, the setting-checkable state, and the setting-changeable state, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device are then turned on when the power is turned on. Even when 43 is operated, the setting changeable state is set only when the opening of the door member is detected. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud.

  (50) Even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated along with the power-on, when the door member is not opened, the power is turned on according to the situation when the power is turned off. The situation after being told was different. In particular, the situation in which the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated even though the door member is not open may be due to fraud or that something is caught in the door member. To be Further, the situation in which the power is cut off when the setting is changeable to change the set value may be a power failure or the like, but it may also be an unauthorized power cut. Therefore, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, even if the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, if the door member is not opened, it is configured to return to the inoperable state. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud.

  (51) When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated after the power is turned off and the power is turned on, and when the door member is opened, the game information backed up When it is determined that is not normal, both the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized. As a result, the game is returned based on the first type game information and the second type game information that may not be normal, and the first type game information and the second type game information that may not be normal are returned. It can be suppressed that the game is played based on.

  (52) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in game development in the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even if the power is turned off in any of the game-enabled state, the setting-checkable state, and the setting-changeable state, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device are then turned on when the power is turned on. Even when 43 is operated, only when the door member is opened, the setting can be changed regardless of whether the backed up game information is normal. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and being in the setting changeable state without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud.

  (53) When it is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is normal, the door is opened even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated when the power is turned on. When the member was not opened, the situation after the power was turned on was changed depending on the situation when the power was cut off. In particular, the situation in which the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated even though the door member is not open may be due to fraud or that something is caught in the door member. To be Further, the situation in which the power is cut off when the setting is changeable to change the set value may be a power failure or the like, but it may also be an unauthorized power cut. Therefore, when the power is turned off in the setting changeable state, even if the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, if the door member is not opened, it is configured to return to the inoperable state. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed due to fraud. Further, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, the door member is opened when at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 is not operated due to power-on. Even so, the game is disabled. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game machine from returning based on the abnormal game information, and to prevent the game from being played on the game machine that has recovered based on the abnormal game information.

  (54) By changing the setting value (setting information) that can be changed after the power is turned on, it is possible to change the development of the game in the same pachinko machine. You can That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, by making it possible to set the set value that has been set so that the set value can be checked, it is possible to check whether or not the setting value needs to be changed. Furthermore, by configuring so that it is possible to control a game-disabled state in which it is impossible to play a game, for example, even though the backed-up game information is not normal, it is possible to recover based on the abnormal game information. It is also possible to prevent the game from returning to a game-enabled state in which a game can be played, such as suppressing. In addition, after the power is turned on, the state at the time of turning off the power, the result of the backup normal determination due to the power on, whether the RWM clear switch 42 has been operated with the power on, and the setter 43 with the power on Is operated and whether the door is opened when the power is turned on. Then, by setting the state suitable for the combination, it becomes possible to return appropriately.

  (55) The RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with power-on even after the power is turned off in any of the game-enabled state, the setting-checkable state, the setting-changeable state, and the game-disabled state. When the door member is open, the setting can be changed regardless of whether the backed up game information is normal. Therefore, when you want to make the setting changeable regardless of the "power-off state" or "backup normal judgment result", which is difficult for the person who wants to change the setting information, open the door member. , The RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 may be operated, and for example, there is no need to adjust the “state at power-off” or the “result of backup normality determination”.

  (56) It is determined that the game information backed up when the power is turned on is not normal even after the power is turned off in any of the game possible state, the setting confirmable state, the setting changeable state, and the game impossible state. In such a case, when at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated due to the power-on, it is impossible to play the game regardless of whether the door member is opened or not. Becomes Therefore, in the case where the backed up game information is not normal, it is not normal by setting the game inoperable state when at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated due to power-on. It is possible to suppress the return based on the potentially backed up game information.

  (57) Since the setting value (setting information) can be changed to a changeable state after the power is turned on, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game in the same pachinko machine. . That is, it is possible to change the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage for special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, by configuring the setting value that has been set so that the setting value can be checked, it is possible to check whether or not the setting information needs to be changed. Further, when it is determined that the backed up game information is normal, it is when the door member is opened, and at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated. At this time, the state after the power is turned on differs depending on whether the state when the power is turned off is the setting confirmable state or the setting changeable state. On the other hand, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, it is when the door member is opened and at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated. At this time, regardless of whether the power is turned off in the setting confirmable state or the setting changeable state, the game is disabled after the power is turned on. As described above, if the backed-up game information is normal, it is possible to properly return by setting the state according to whether the power-off is in the setting confirmable state or the setting changeable state. Is possible. On the other hand, if the backed up game information is not normal, no matter whether the power is turned off in the setting confirmation state or the setting changeable state, by setting the game inoperative state, it is possible that it is not normal. It is possible to suppress returning based on high game information.

  (58) Regardless of whether the backed-up game information is determined to be normal or not, it is when the door member is open and the RWM clear switch 42. When at least one of the setter 43 and the setter 43 is not operated, the state after the power is turned on does not differ depending on whether the power is turned off is the setting confirmable state or the setting changeable state. In this way, regardless of whether the power is turned off in the playable state or the setting confirmable state, the state after the power is turned on does not change, so for example, the game can be played when the power is turned off. The processing load can be reduced as compared with the case where the state after the power is turned on differs depending on whether the state or the setting confirmable state.

  (59) The setting change notification regarding the setting changeable state and the setting confirmation notification regarding the setting checkable state are executed including means by display and sound. By making the notification related to the display and the sound, it is possible to realize that the setting changeable state or the setting confirmable state is easy to understand.

  (60) When the game information that has been backed up is initialized to be in the game-enabled state, the game-enabled state is set regardless of whether the setting-changeable state is passed or not. The notification which can specify is executed by the same notification. Therefore, it is possible to realize that the backed up game information has been initialized by an easy-to-understand notification.

  (61) In the case where the game information is backed up without initializing the game information that has been backed up, the game can be played regardless of whether the setting checkable state is passed or not. The same notification is used to execute notification that can specify that Therefore, it is possible to realize that the backed-up game information has not been initialized, that is, that the power has been restored, by an easy-to-understand notification.

  (62) The RWM clear notification is executed when the game is enabled after the setting changeable state, and the power recovery notification is executed when the game is enabled after the setting confirmable state. Then, by changing the notification mode of the notification executed depending on which of these routes the game is enabled, whether the game is enabled via the setting changeable state or the setting checkable state is passed. It can be realized by an easy-to-understand notification whether or not the game is possible.

  (63) Even when the door member is opened and the power is turned on by executing the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification for notifying that the game has become possible, prior to the door opening notification. , It becomes easy to recognize how the pachinko gaming machine 10 has entered the playable state when the power is turned on.

  (64) Although the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state are notified (setting change notification, setting confirmation notification) in a manner that can be recognized without opening the door member, the set value (setting information) itself Notifies in a manner that cannot be recognized unless the door member is opened. The door member cannot be opened unless the locking device SS is unlocked by using the locking key managed by the manager of the game arcade. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from visually recognizing the set value itself.

The above embodiment can be modified and implemented as follows. The above-described embodiment and the following modified examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
・ What was the state when the power was turned off, the game information backed up was normal, the door member was opened, the RWM clear switch 42 was operated, and the setting device 43 was operated. As shown in FIG. 6, the power supply shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 is used in order to set any one of the game possible state, the setting changeable state, the setting confirmable state, and the game impossible state as shown in FIG. It is not limited to the input process. For example, the process of determining whether the backed up game information is normal may be configured to be performed after the process of determining whether the door member is open. That is, in the power-on process, a process of determining what the power-off state was, a process of determining whether the backed up game information is normal, and a process of determining whether the door member is open. , The context of the process of determining whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated and the process of determining whether the setting device 43 is operated may be changed.

  When performing the setting change processing in the power-on processing of FIGS. 8 and 9, one or both of the second initialization processing in step S105 and the first initialization processing in step S115 are omitted, and the first in the setting change processing You may comprise so that 1 initialization process (process of step S206 shown in FIG. 10) may be performed.

  In the power-on process, it may be configured to determine whether the power-off state is a game-enabled state or the power-off state is a setting-verifiable state. Then, depending on whether the power-off state is a game-enabled state or a setting-verifiable state, the state controlled from power-on may be different. In other words, the state controlled when the power is turned on differs between the case where the power is turned off when it is controlled to the game enable state and the case where the power is turned off when it is controlled to the setting confirmable state. There may be cases. For example, when the power is turned off while being controlled to the setting confirmable state, and then the door member is opened when the power is turned on, the RWM clear switch 42 and the RWM clear switch of the setter 43 are turned on when the power is turned on. When only 42 is operated, the game may be disabled.

  The embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine 10 provided with a production movable body. The pachinko gaming machine 10 provided with the effecting movable body executes a predetermined initial operation as it enters the playable state, and the effecting movable body operates normally from the detection result of the sensor that detects the original position. Or whether the sensor is normal. In addition, whether or not the initial operation of the effectable movable body is operating normally is informed. Then, the initial operation of the effect movable body, regardless of whether the first initialization process has been performed, whether the setting changeable state has been reached, or whether the setting checkable state has been passed, by the time it is in the game enable state, It may be executed. That is, it is impossible to distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended from the initial operation of the production movable body. It should be noted that, for example, the initial operation of the production movable body that is accompanied by the setting changeable state and the playable state, and the initial operation of the production movable body that is accompanied by the setting confirmable state and the gameable state. May be configured to be different from each other so that which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended can be distinguished. Further, the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification are executed so that it is possible to distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended after the end of the setting control state by the operation of the production movable body. It may be configured to. Further, it may be configured such that the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification are executed so that it is impossible to distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended by the operation of the production movable body. Good. Further, the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification by the operation of these effect movable bodies may be executed instead of or in addition to the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification by other means.

  The character string (error mode) displayed on the display unit 45 may be the same regardless of which of the first unplayable process and the second unplayable process is performed. For example, in the above embodiment, the second unplayable game may be performed instead of the first unplayable process, or the first unplayable process may be performed instead of the second unplayable process. You may comprise. In addition, you may comprise so that the 2nd game disabling process may be performed instead of a part or all of the 1st game disabling process, or the 1st game disabling process instead of a part or all of the 2nd game disabling process. May be configured to be performed.

  -[-E1] is configured to be displayed on the display unit 45 when the first game-disabled process is performed, but is not limited to the time when the first game-disabled process is performed, for example, regarding the set value. When an error occurs, [-E1] may be displayed on the display unit 45. At this time, [-E2] may be displayed on the display unit 45 when the second unplayable game process is performed. In this case, when [--E1] is displayed on the display unit 45, "After the power is turned off while the setting changeable state is controlled, the opening detection sensor SE7 is turned on when the power is turned on. When the release is detected, and at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 is not operated, it is assumed that the various information backed up in the backup normality judgment at power-on is normal. It is possible to specify that a setting error other than the error due to "judged" has occurred. As described above, when [--E1] is displayed on the display unit 45, it is possible to specify that a setting error that satisfies a condition other than the condition that [-E2] is displayed on the display unit 45 has occurred. You may comprise.

  Similarly, [-E2] is configured to be displayed on the display unit 45 when the second unplayable process is performed, but for example, the setting is not limited to when the second unplayable process is performed. [-E2] may be displayed on the display unit 45 when an error regarding the value occurs. At this time, [-E1] may be displayed on the display unit 45 when the first unplayable game process is performed. In this case, when [--E2] is displayed on the display device 45, "After the power is turned off while the setting changeable state is controlled, the opening detection sensor SE7 is turned on when the power is turned on. When the open is detected, and at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 is not operated, it is determined that the various information backed up is not normal in the backup normality determination when the power is turned on. It is possible to specify that a setting error other than the error caused by “done” has occurred. Further, the second game incapability process is configured to be executed on condition that the setting information is not normal (abnormal), and the display unit 45 may be configured to display [-E2]. Good. As described above, when [--E2] is displayed on the display unit 45, it is possible to specify that a setting error that satisfies a condition other than the condition where [-E1] is displayed on the display unit 45 has occurred. You may comprise.

  The second initialization process may be performed instead of the first initialization process of part or all, or the first initialization process may be performed instead of the second initialization process of part or all. It may be configured to be performed. For example, in the power-on process, the second initialization process may be performed instead of the first initialization process in step S115 among the first initialization processes in steps S112, S115, and S123. In addition, in step S105, when the information regarding the set value, that is, the first type game information is normal, the first initialization process may be performed. That is, in step S105, the first initialization process or the second initialization process may be performed depending on whether or not the first type game information is normal. In addition, when at least one of the first unplayable process and the second unplayable process is performed, the first initialization process or the second initialization process may be performed. For example, the second initialization process may be performed when the first unplayable process is performed, and the first initialization process may be performed when the second unplayable process is performed.

  -Errors that execute error notification include an error that executes an error notification even if it occurs during execution of setting error notification, and an error notification if an error occurs during execution of setting error notification. Error that does not occur. The error for executing the error notification may be, for example, an error having a high priority, and may be, for example, magnetic detection or induction magnetic field detection. The error for which error notification is not executed may be, for example, an error with a low priority, or may be full, for example. Further, during execution of the setting error notification, some devices (for example, sound and light emission) perform setting error notification, and other devices (for example, display) notify the setting error notification separately from the setting error notification. At the same time as or in stead of reporting the setting error. In this case, for example, when a notification of an error that has occurred separately is displayed, the notification mode may be the second notification mode.

  -Error notification When multiple errors with the same priority occur, the notification of the error that occurred first is maintained and "Not notify of the error that occurred later" or "Notification of the error that occurred earlier" After the end, the notification of an error that occurs later is executed ”. Alternatively, when a plurality of errors having the same error notification priority occur, the notification of the error that occurs later may be executed instead of the notification of the error that occurred first.

  -When the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification are performed by the speaker SP, the decorative lamps LA1, LA2, and the effect display device 11, it is possible to distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended. The means may be separated from the setting changeable state and the setting checkable state, and the state may not be distinguished. For example, the decoration lamps LA1, LA2 and the effect display device 11 can distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended, while the speaker SP can confirm the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state. It may be configured to be indistinguishable from which of the states has ended.

  When the setting change notification is executed by different means, the notification need not start and end at the same time. Similarly, when the setting confirmation notification is executed by different means, the notification need not start and end at the same time. Further, when the RWM clear notification is executed by different means, the notification does not have to start and end at the same time. Similarly, when the power recovery notification is executed by different means, the notification does not have to start and end at the same time. For example, the time when the execution of the RWM clear notification is started in the speaker SP may be after the time when the execution of the RWM clear notification is started in the effect display device 11 and the decoration lamps LA1 and LA2.

  In the above embodiment, the storage content of the sub-control RWM 50c may be retained as backup information. For example, when the main control CPU 41a performs the first initialization process or the second initialization process, the sub control CPU 50a may be configured to initialize the stored contents of the backed up sub control RWM 50c.

  The setting switch may be a dedicated operating means without being combined with other switches such as the RWM clear switch 42. Further, the operation of the setting switch is not limited to the push button type, but may be arbitrarily changed to a lever type, a dial type or the like.

  In the embodiment, when the error canceling switch that is operated when canceling the error notification is provided, the setting switch may be used as the error canceling switch instead of the RWM clear switch 42.

  -From time X13 to time X16 in FIGS. 12 and 13, the switch relating to fraud may be invalid. That is, when the setting controllable state is controlled, various switches including switches related to fraud other than the switches related to the setting control state may be invalid. Further, when the setting changeable state is controlled, various switches including a switch relating to fraud other than the switch relating to the setting control state may be invalid.

  In the embodiment, the configuration related to the setting control may be provided on a board different from the main control board 40. Specifically, it may be provided on a board for setting control or on a payout control board capable of transmitting information to the main control board 40.

  In the embodiment, the priority of the error notification of the setting change, the setting confirmation, the RWM clear, and the power recovery may be arbitrarily changed within the range in which the priority is higher than the door opening. In the embodiment, the priority of error notification of setting change and setting confirmation may be higher or lower than the priority of error notification of RWM clear and power recovery. Further, the priority of error notification of setting change and the priority of error notification of setting confirmation may be different, or the priority of error notification of RWM clear and the priority of error notification of power recovery may be different. .. In addition, the priority of the error notification of the setting error does not have to be the highest priority of the error notifications. For example, there may be an error notification having a higher priority than the error notification of the setting error.

  In the embodiment, the setting value changing operation is performed every time the setting switch is operated, but an operation means capable of setting a specific setting value may be provided. Specifically, it can be set to "Setting 1" by pressing the switch labeled "1", and can be set to "Setting 2" by pressing the switch labeled "2". You may control.

  The operation of the setting device 43 is not limited to the two operations of the on operation and the off operation, and may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the setting device 43 may be configured to be operable in the first state, the second state, and the third state. At this time, the first state may be a state in which it is specified that both the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated in the above embodiment. The second state may be a state in which only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is specified in the above embodiment. The third state may be the third state specified in the above embodiment in which both the RWM clear switch 42 and the setter 43 are not operated.

  The frame key for unlocking the locking device SS and the setting key for operating the setting device 43 may be the same. Specifically, in order to operate the setting device 43, it is necessary to remove the key that unlocks the locking device SS, and in order to lock the locking device SS, it is necessary to remove the key that operated the setting device 43. It may be configured as is.

  In the embodiment, it may be configured to be able to execute the setting change inability notification. Specifically, in the setting confirmable state, the setting cannot be changed even if the setting switch is operated, and the display 45 may notify that the setting cannot be changed.

  In the embodiment, when the door member is not opened and the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated and the game is possible, if the door member is not opened, the setting control state is set. You may perform the notification which can specify that it did not exist.

  An external signal different from the security signal may be output in addition to or instead of the security signal for one or both of the setting confirmable state and the setting changeable state. For example, "External signal that is common to both the setting confirmable state and setting changeable state," or "External signal dedicated to the setting changeable state or dedicated external signal to the setting changeable state" It may be. Further, the security signal may also be used as an external signal different from the security signal.

  -For one or both of the setting confirmable state and the setting changeable state, a minimum time for outputting a security signal may be set. For example, 30 seconds is set as the minimum time, and even if the setting checkable state or the setting changeable state ends within the minimum time after entering the setting checkable state or the setting changeable state, the minimum The time may be configured such that the security signal continues to be output.

  When the setting confirmation state or the setting changeable state is entered, the security signal is output for a predetermined period (for example, 50 ms), and the security signal is output without waiting for the setting device 43 to be turned off. The output may be stopped.
