[Game control device]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the game control system of the game machine 10. The game machine 10 is a game control device 10.
The game control device 100 includes 0 (main board), and the game control device 100 is a main control device (main board) that comprehensively controls the game, and is a CPU unit having a game microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as a game microcomputer) 111. It is composed of 110, an input unit 120 having an input port, an output unit 130 having an output port, a driver, and the like, a data bus 140 connecting the CPU unit 110, the input unit 120, and the output unit 130.

The CPU unit 110 is a gaming microcomputer (CP) called an amusement chip (IC).
It includes a U) 111, an oscillator such as a crystal oscillator, and an oscillation circuit (crystal oscillator) 113 that generates an operating clock of a CPU, a timer interrupt, and a clock that serves as a reference for a random number generation circuit.

The control signal generation unit 430 and the like for generating and outputting the above are provided.

In the present embodiment, the power supply device 400 is configured separately from the game control device 100,
The backup power supply unit 420 and the control signal generation unit 430 may be configured to be provided on a separate board or integrally with the game control device 100, that is, on the main board. Since the game board 30 and the game control device 100 are to be replaced when the model is changed, the backup power supply unit 420 and the control signal generation unit 43 are mounted on a board different from the power supply device 400 or the main board as in the embodiment.
By setting 0, it is possible to exclude from the exchange target and reduce the cost.

The backup power supply unit 420 can be configured by one large-capacity capacitor such as an electrolytic capacitor. The backup power supply is the game microcomputer 111 of the game control device 100 (
In particular, the data supplied to the built-in RAM) and stored in the RAM is retained even during a power failure or power failure. The control signal generation unit 430 monitors the voltage of 32V generated by the normal power supply unit 410, for example, detects the occurrence of a power failure when it drops to 17V or less, changes the power failure monitoring signal, and resets the signal after a predetermined time. Is output. Also, when the power is turned on or when the power is restored, a reset signal is output after a predetermined time has elapsed from that point.

Further, the game control device 100 is provided with a RAM initialization switch 112. RAM

The setting key switch 93 makes it possible to change the probability set value (set value) according to the setting related to the game condition (game) by turning it on by the operator's rotation operation or the like. The RAM initialization switch 112 can also be used as a setting value change switch that can change the probability setting value according to the operation of the operator. In the present embodiment, the probability setting value is a setting value for setting the winning probability (the hit probability of the normal figure variation display game, the big hit probability, the small hit probability (only when there is a small hit), etc.), but the probability Other game conditions (such as production) can also be changed according to the probability setting value. The setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 constitute a setting changing means (setting changing device 42) capable of changing the setting (probability setting value) related to the game condition. In addition to the RAM initialization switch 112, another switch may also serve as the setting value changing switch, or may provide a dedicated setting value changing switch.

It is possible to shift to various states such as a changeable setting variable state (setting change state, setting change mode) and a setting confirmation state (setting confirmation mode) in which the probability setting value can be confirmed.

In the present embodiment, the probability setting value is defined in, for example, 6 steps, and the probability setting value 1 (setting 1) is defined.
), Probability setting value 2 (setting 2), probability setting value 3 (setting 3), probability setting value 4 (setting 4), probability setting value 5 (setting 5), probability setting value 6 (setting 6). In general, setting 1 is the most unfavorable setting for the player, and setting 6 is the most advantageous setting for the player. Settings 1 and 2 are low settings, settings 3 and 4 are intermediate settings (intermediate settings), and settings 5 and 6 are high settings.

In the probability setting change process, each time the RAM initialization switch 112 is pressed by the operator, the work setting value (setting) in the work setting value area is set to the setting value 0 (setting 1, probability setting value 1).
→ Setting value 1 (setting 2, probability setting value 2) → Setting value 2 (setting 3, probability setting value 3) → Setting value 3 (setting value 3)
Setting 4, probability setting value 4) → setting value 4 (setting 5, probability setting value 5) → setting value 5 (setting 6, probability setting value 6) → setting value 0 (setting 1) → setting value 1 (setting 2) → ... is changed. In this way, the RAM initialization switch 112 also functions as a setting value change switch. For convenience of explanation, the work setting values 0 to 5 are provided corresponding to the probability setting values 1 to 6 in the setting change state (setting change mode), but the work setting value and the probability setting value are the same. It may be treated as the same in the numerical range (that is, 0 to 5 or 1 to 6) (the work set value and the probability set value are set to the same numerical value).

Instead of operating the RAM initialization switch 112 (setting value changing switch), the setting key switch 93 may be rotated to a predetermined position to change the probability setting value. Moreover, the probability setting value is not limited to 6 steps.

The cooling FAN 45 is driven when the N45 is connected and the power of the effect control device 300 is turned on.

Next, the game control performed in these control circuits will be described. Game control device 1
The CPU 111a of the game microcomputer 111 of 00 has a normal drawing start gate 34 and a normal drawing start port 34.
Based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the operation 1a to 1n switch 34a provided in b, the start winning prize (normal figure 1 start memory, start memory, normal figure 1 hold) is memorized and stored in the normal figure 1 start memory. Based on this, the hit determination random value of the normal figure is extracted and compared with the judgment value stored in the ROM 111b, and the hit / miss of the normal figure 1 variation display game is determined.

Then, the variation display unit 53 (normal map display) displays the normal map variation display game in which the identification symbol is variablely displayed for a predetermined time and then stopped and displayed. If the result of the normal figure fluctuation display game is a hit, a special result mode is displayed on the fluctuation display unit 53, and the corresponding normal electric 1 to 4 solenoids 37 are displayed.
c is operated, and the movable member 37b of the normal variable winning device 37 is operated for a predetermined time (for example, 5500 m).
sec or 1900 msec) Control to open as described above. That is, the game control device 100 serves as a conversion control executing means for performing conversion control of the conversion member (movable member 37b).
If the result of the normal map variation display game is out of alignment, the variation display unit 53 is controlled to display the result mode of the deviation.

In addition, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the operation 2 to 5 switches 39a provided in the normal variable winning device 37, the start memory of the normal figures 2 to 4 (starting memory, hold of the normal figures 2 to 4) is stored. Based on the start memory of the normal figures 2 to 4, the random value for hit judgment of the corresponding normal figure 2 to 4 variable display game is extracted and compared with the judgment value stored in the ROM 111b, and the variable display of the normal figures 2 to 4 is displayed. Judge the hit or miss of the game.

Then, the CPU 111a of the game control device 100 outputs a control signal (effect control command) including the determination result of the normal figure variation display game to the effect control device 300. Then, the variation display unit 53 (normal map display) displays the normal map variation display game in which the identification symbol is variablely displayed for a predetermined time and then stopped and displayed. That is, the game control device 100 passes or enters (or wins) a game ball flowing down the game area 32 into the normal drawing starting area (normal drawing starting gate 34, normal drawing starting port 34b) or the starting winning area (or winning). It serves as a game control means for controlling the progress of the normal fluctuation display game based on the winning of the normal fluctuation winning device 37).

Further, the effect control device 300 performs processing such as setting the effect state, outputting sounds from the speakers 19a and 19b, and controlling the light emission of various LEDs based on the control signal from the game control device 100. That is, the effect control device 300 serves as an effect control means for controlling the effect related to the game (variable display game, etc.).

Then, when the result of the normal figure variation display game is a hit, the CPU 111a of the game control device 100 displays a predetermined result mode on the variation display unit 53 (normal figure display) and generates a predetermined game state. In the process of generating the predetermined gaming state, the CPU 111a uses, for example, the movable member 37b of the ordinary variable winning device 37 corresponding to the solenoids 1 to 4 solenoids 39b.
The normal electric trains 1 to 4) are opened, and control is performed so that the game balls can flow into the normal variable winning device 37.

Then, whether a predetermined number (for example, 4 or 6) of game balls wins the ordinary variable winning device 37, or whether a predetermined opening time (for example, 5500 msec or 1900 msec) elapses from the opening of the movable member 37b. One round (R) is to open the movable member 37b of the normal variable winning device 37 until any of the conditions is achieved, and this is the predetermined number of rounds (the number of times the bicycle is held (for example, 4 or 6 times)). Perform continuous (repeating) control (cycle game). That is, when the game control device 100 changes the stop result mode to the predetermined result mode,
It serves as a movable member opening / closing control means for controlling the opening / closing of the movable member 37b. Further, when the result of the predetermined variation display game is out of sync, the variation display unit 53 (normal figure display) is controlled to display the result mode of the deviation.

Further, the game control device 100 can generate the predetermined game state again after the end of the predetermined game state based on the start memory of the normal figure 1 (hold in the normal figure 1) (a consecutive villa in the predetermined game state). In the consecutive villa in the predetermined game state, the same game as in the first predetermined game state is repeated from the second time onward. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, since the two normal figure starting gates 34 and the normal figure starting port 34b are arranged so as to be arranged vertically, it is easy for one game ball to pass through or win a prize. It is possible to generate the memory of starting the normal figure 1 three times (hold the normal figure 1) and repeat the predetermined game state three times (three consecutive villas).

[Transition state when power is turned on]
As described above, the state shifts to four states (modes) depending on the on / off state of the RAM initialization switch 112 and the setting key switch 93 when the power is turned on.

When the RAM initialization switch 112 and the setting key switch 93 are turned on when the power is turned on, the probability setting value (setting value) is changed to a variable setting state (setting change state, setting change mode). (See A1027-A1036 in FIG. 5B).

Next, when the setting key switch 93 is turned on but the RAM initialization switch 112 is off when the power is turned on, the state shifts to the setting confirmation state (setting confirmation mode) in which the probability setting value can be confirmed (FIG. FIG. See A1031-A1036 in 5B).

Further, when the power is turned on, the setting key switch 93 is off, but the RAM initialization switch 11
When 2 is turned on, the state shifts to the RAM initialization state (RAM clear mode), and R
The AM initialization process (RAM clear process) is executed to initialize the RAM 111c (see A1042-1044 in FIG. 5B).

If the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are off when the power is turned on, the state shifts to the normal power recovery state (normal power recovery mode), and the power is simply recovered.

[Control of game control device]
Hereinafter, control of a game machine that performs such a game will be described. First, the control executed by the game microcomputer (game microcomputer) 111 of the game control device 100 will be described. The control process by the game microcomputer 111 mainly includes the main process shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B and the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 6 performed in a predetermined time cycle (for example, 4 msec).

[Main processing (game control device)]
First, the main process will be described. 5A and 5B are flowcharts showing a procedure of main processing by the game control device 100. The main process is started when the power is turned on. In the flowchart of the process executed by the game control device 100, the code (number) of the step is represented as "A ***".

As shown in FIG. 5A, when the game control device 100 starts the main process, it first executes a process of disabling interrupts (A1001). Further, a stack pointer setting process for setting the stack pointer, which is the start address of the area for saving the value of the register or the like when an interrupt occurs, is executed (A1002).

Subsequently, register bank 0 is designated as the register bank to be used (A1003), and the upper address of the RAM start address is set in a predetermined register (A1004). For example, when the RAM address is in the range of 0000h to 01FFh, 00h is set as the upper address.

Next, the game control device 100 outputs a firing prohibition (launch stop) signal and sets the firing permission signal to the prohibited state (A1005). The launch permission signal is set to a prohibited state when at least one of the game control device 100 and the payout control device 200 outputs a launch prohibition signal, and the launch of the game ball is prohibited. After that, the game control device 100 reads the states of the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 (A1006). That is, the signals from the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are read.

Further, the game control device 100 sets a power supply delay timer (A1007). A game control device 1 that serves as a main control means by setting a predetermined initial value in the power delay timer.
A waiting time (for example, 3) for waiting until the program of the slave control means (for example, the payout control device 200 or the effect control device 300) that performs various controls according to the instruction from 00 starts normally.
Seconds) is set. As a result, when the power is turned on, the game control device 100 temporarily starts up first and sends a command to the slave control device before the slave control device (for example, the payout control device 200 or the effect control device 300) starts up, and the slave control device Can be prevented from missing a command. That is, when the power is turned on, the game control device 100 delays the activation of the main control means (game control device 100) and delays the activation of the slave control device (payout control device 200, effect control device 3).
It serves as a waiting means for setting a predetermined waiting time for waiting for the activation of (00, etc.).

Further, the timing of the power delay timer is performed using a storage area (RAM area or register, etc. that is not subject to validity determination) that is not subject to RAM validity determination (checksum calculation). As a result, when calculating check data such as the checksum of the RAM area, a part of R
Since it is not necessary to exclude the AM region for calculation, it is possible to prevent the control at the time of turning on the power from becoming complicated.

By reading the states of the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 before the start of the standby time, the operation of the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 can be reliably detected. That is, if the states of the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are read after the standby time has elapsed, the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are operated or the power is turned on after the standby time has elapsed. It is necessary to continue to operate the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 from the time until the elapse of the standby time. However, by reading the state before the start of the standby time, the operation of the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 performed at the time of turning on the power cannot be accepted without performing such a troublesome operation. Can be prevented.

When the power delay timer is set (A1007), the game control device 100 executes time counting of the standby time and a process of monitoring the occurrence of a power failure during the standby time (A1008 to A).
1010).

When the power failure monitoring process is started, the game control device 100 first reads the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply device 400 via the port and the data bus to determine whether or not a power failure has occurred. (A1008). When a power failure occurs (the result of A1008 is "Y"), the player waits until the power of the gaming machine is cut off.

The game control device 100 has no power failure (the result of A1008 is "N").
, The power-on delay timer is updated by -1 (A1009), and it is determined whether or not the value of the timer is 0 (A1010). If the value of the timer is not 0 (the result of A1010 is "N"), that is, if the waiting time has not ended, the process returns to step A1008.

That is, the game control device 100 serves as a power failure monitoring means for monitoring the occurrence of a power failure during a predetermined standby time. As a result, it is possible to deal with a power failure that occurs during the period in which the activation of the game control device 100, which is the main control means, is delayed, and it is possible to appropriately deal with a problem at the time of turning on the power. Note that access to the RAM is not permitted until the end of the standby time, and the stored contents at the time of the previous power failure are retained. Therefore, when a power failure occurs here, backup processing is performed. There is no need. Therefore, even if a power failure occurs during the standby time, it is not necessary to back up the RAM, and the burden of control can be reduced.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the value of the timer is 0 (the result of A1010 is "Y"".
), That is, when the standby time has expired, access to RWM (read / write memory) that can be read and written in RAM, EEPROM, etc. is permitted (A1011), and off-data is output to all output ports (state where there is no output). (Set to) (A1012).

Next, the game control device 100 sets a serial port (a port previously mounted on the game microcomputer 111, which is used for communication with the effect control device 300 and the payout control device 200 in the present embodiment) (A1013). ).

Further, here, the driver 150 for driving the performance display device 152 (state display device) may be initially set. The game control device 100 writes a command including control data corresponding to the contents of the initial setting to the transmission buffer of the second output port 134 (serial communication circuit) and transmits the command to the driver 150. For example, the game control device 100 sets the duty ratio in the initial setting. The duty ratio corresponds to the brightness of each LED (each segment) of the performance display device 152. The game control device 100 sets the number of digits used in the performance display device 152 in the initial setting. In this embodiment, the number of digits used is four.

Next, the game control device 100 generates a CTC (Counter / Timer C) that generates a timer interrupt signal and a random number update trigger signal (CTC) in the game microcomputer 111 (clock generator).
ircuit) Start the circuit (A1014). The CTC circuit is provided in the clock generator in the gaming microcomputer 111. The clock generator is a frequency dividing circuit that divides the oscillation signal (original clock signal) from the oscillation circuit 113, and a CP based on the divided signal.
The U111a is provided with a timer interrupt signal having a predetermined period (for example, 4 milliseconds) and a CTC circuit that generates a signal CTC that triggers a random number update to be supplied to the random number generation circuit.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 indicates RA indicating an abnormality in the RAM (here, RAM 111c).
The M abnormality flag is set (A1015). Here, the flag of the assumption of abnormality is once set in a predetermined register.

Next, the game control device 100 determines whether or not the value of the power failure inspection area 1 in the RWM is normal power failure inspection area check data (A1016). And if it is normal (A101
The result of 6 is “Y”), and it is determined whether or not the value of the power failure inspection area 2 in the RWM is the normal power failure inspection area check data (A1017).

Further, if the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal (the result of A1017 is “Y”), the game control device 100 calculates a checksum of a predetermined area (for example, a game control work area) in the RWM. The calculation process is executed (A1018), and it is determined whether or not the calculated checksum and the checksum at the time of power failure match (A1019). If the checksums match (A1019 result is "Y"), the RAM is normal and the RAM indicates a RAM error.
Clear the error flag (A1020). After that, the process proceeds to step A1021.

Further, when the game control device 100 determines that the check data in the power failure inspection area is not normal data (the result of A1016 is "N" or the result of A1017 is "N"), the checksums do not match. (The result of A1019 is "N"), the process proceeds to step A1021 without clearing the RAM error flag.

Next, the game control device 100 has a setting key switch 93 and a RAM initialization switch 112.
It is determined whether or not both of the switches are on (A1021). When both switches are on (the result of A1021 is "Y"), the game control device 100 shifts to the setting variable state (setting change mode), and executes the process during the probability setting change in steps A1027-A1037. ..

In the game control device 100, when at least one of the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 is off (the result of A1021 is “N”), the RAM (here, RAM)
It is determined whether or not the RAM abnormality flag indicating the abnormality of 111c) is set (A102).
2). When the RAM abnormality flag is not set (the result of A1022 is "N"), it is determined whether or not the probability setting changing flag is set (A1023). When the probability setting changing flag is not set (the result of A1023 is "N"), step A103
1-A1037 Probability Setting confirmation processing (setting confirmation state, setting confirmation mode), RAM initialization processing (RAM clear processing) in step A1041-144, or step A1
The normal power-on (power recovery) processing of 041, A1045, and A1046 is executed.

The game control device 100 has (A1023) when the probability setting changing flag is set.
The result is "Y"), and a command for notifying the main abnormality error that notifies that the game control device 100 (main board, main board) has an abnormality is transmitted to the effect control device 300 (A1024).
.. The effect control device 300 that has received the command for notifying the main abnormality error is the game control device 10.
Notify that there was an abnormality of 0.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 uses the 7-segment display data (“E1” in FIG. 9 (C)) when the game is stopped.
(Error display data) is output to the driver 150 of the performance display device 152 in order to display it on the performance display device 152 (A1025). Then, the on-data of the security signal for notifying the external device (game hall internal management device (hall computer), information collecting terminal, etc.) of the abnormality is output to the external information terminal 71 (A1026). Here, even when the information regarding the jackpot remains in the RAM 111c, other signals to the external information terminal 71 such as the jackpot signal are maintained in the off state. After that, the processes of steps A1025 and A1026 are repeated to wait, and the setting change operation (setting key switch 93 and RAM initialization switch 1) is performed again.
(Turn on both of 12) and wait for the power to be turned on. Note that interrupts remain disabled while waiting for the processes of steps A1025 and A1026 to be repeated (A10).
01), Timer interrupt processing that can execute special figure 1 and 2 game processing and normal figure game processing (Fig. 7)
Cannot be executed, so the game (special figure variation display game, normal map variation display game) cannot be executed.

In this way, the setting change operation (setting key switch 93 and RAM initialization switch 112)
The process of A1024-A1026 is executed on the assumption that there is an abnormality when the probability setting changing flag is set even though both of the on-operations) are not executed. For example, when the power is turned off and restarted while the probability setting is being changed (before the setting change is completed), the probability setting changing flag may be set even though the setting change operation has not been executed. is there.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, even when the RAM abnormality flag is set (A102).
The result of 2 is "Y"), the main abnormality error notification command for notifying that there was an abnormality in the game control device 100 (main board) is transmitted to the effect control device 300 (A1024), and the 7-segment display when the game is stopped. The display data (data of the error display of "E1" in FIG. 9C) is output to the driver 150 of the performance display device 152 (A1025), and the on-data of the security signal is externally output in order to notify the external device of the RAM abnormality. Output to the information terminal 71 (A1026). As described above, even when the information regarding the jackpot remains in the RAM 111c, other signals to the external information terminal 71 such as the jackpot signal are maintained in the off state. Then step A10
The processes of 25 and A1026 are repeated to wait.

When both the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are on (the result of A1021 is “Y”), the game control device 100 starts the process of changing the probability setting (during the variable setting state). First, it is determined whether or not the RAM abnormality flag is set (A1027). When the RAM error flag is set (the result of A1027 is "Y".
”), Since it is unknown whether the probability setting value is correct, the probability setting value stored in the probability setting value area of the RAM 111c is cleared and set to the initial value (for example, the minimum setting value“ 1 ”) (A1028). ), Set the probability setting changing flag indicating that the probability setting is being changed ()
A1029). When the RAM error flag is not set (the result of A1027 is "N"
”), The probability setting changing flag is set without clearing the probability setting value (A1029).
Next, the command for which the probability setting is being changed is transmitted to the effect control device 300 (effect control board) (A1).
030), the process proceeds to step A1034. The effect control device 300 that has received the command for changing the probability setting notifies the display device 41 or the like that the probability setting is being changed.

In the game control device 100, at least one of the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 is off (the result of A1021 is "N"), and the RAM error flag is not set (the result of A1022 is "N"). ), And when the probability setting changing flag is not set (the result of A1023 is “N”), it is determined whether or not the setting key switch 93 is on (A1031). When the setting key switch 93 is on (the result of A1031 is "Y"), the RAM initialization switch 112 is off, and the processing during the probability setting confirmation (setting confirmation state) starts, and the probability Set the probability setting confirmation flag indicating that the setting is being confirmed (A1032). Then, the command during the probability setting confirmation is sent to the effect control device 30.
It is transmitted to 0 (effect control board) (A1033), and the process proceeds to step A1034. The effect control device 300 that has received the command for changing the probability setting notifies the display device 41 or the like that the probability setting is being confirmed.

After step A1030 or step A1033, the game control device 100 executes the processes of steps A1034 to A1040 as common processes during the probability setting change and the probability setting confirmation.

First, the game control device 100 saves 128 ms (predetermined time) in the security signal control timer area in order to output a security signal during the probability setting change and the probability setting confirmation (A1034). The count of the security signal control timer and the output of the security signal are executed in the probability setting change / confirmation process (FIG. 6B) described later, but remain when the probability setting change or the probability setting confirmation is completed early. The count of the security signal control timer and the output of the security signal are executed by the external information editing process (A1321). The security signal is output for at least 50 ms during the probability setting change and the probability setting confirmation.

Next, the game control device 100 permits interrupts (A1035). As a result, the timer interrupt process (FIG. 7) can be executed. Then, it is determined whether or not the setting key switch 93 is off (A1036). When the setting key switch 93 is on (the result of A1036 is "N"), it is determined whether or not a power failure has occurred (A1037). If no power failure has occurred (the result of A1037 is “N”), the process returns to step A1036. on the other hand,
If there is a power outage (result of A1037 is "Y"), steps A1055-A10
The process when a power failure occurs in 61 is executed.

In this way, as long as the setting key switch 93 is on and a power failure does not occur, the probability setting value can be confirmed in the variable setting state (setting change state, setting change mode) or the probability setting value can be confirmed. The setting confirmation status (setting confirmation mode) is continued.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the setting key switch 93 is off (A1036).
The result is "Y"), interrupts are prohibited (A1038), and a command to end the notification is transmitted to the effect control device 300 (effect control board) (A1039). The effect control device 300 that has received the command to end the notification ends the notification that the probability setting is being confirmed or the notification that the probability setting is being changed.

Next, the game control device 100 determines whether or not the probability setting changing flag is set, that is, whether or not the probability setting is being changed so far (A1040). When the probability setting changing flag is set (the result of A1040 is "Y"), that is, when the probability setting is being changed so far, the RAM initialization process (described later) in steps A1042-A1044 is executed. To do. On the other hand, when the probability setting changing flag is not set (the result of A1040 is "N"), that is, when the probability setting is being confirmed so far, when the power is turned on after step A1045 (when the power is restored). Perform the normal processing of.

The game control device 100 determines whether or not the RAM initialization switch 112 is on when the setting key switch 93 is off (the result of A1031 is “N”) (A1041).
.. When the RAM initialization switch 112 is on (the result of A1041 is "Y"), RA
In M111c, the RAM area other than the probability set value area for storing the probability set value is 0.
Clear (A1042). That is, the game information stored in the RAM 111c is cleared to 0 except for the probability setting value stored in the probability setting value area. Further, the above-mentioned probability setting changing flag is also cleared here. Further, here, in addition to the probability setting value area, a configuration in which the stack area and the unused area are not cleared is also possible. The performance information is derived based on the number of prize balls obtained by winning, for example, the ball output rate, the base value (the ball output rate in the normal game state), the accessory ratio, the number of ejected balls, and the like. is there. Further, the work area and the stack area related to the performance information and its display (performance display) are not cleared here, but may be configured to be cleared.

Next, the game control device 100 saves the initial value at the time of RAM initialization in the area to be initialized (A1043). Then, the command at the time of RAM initialization is transmitted to the effect control device 300 (effect control board) (A1044), and the process proceeds to step A1047.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the RAM initialization switch 112 is off (A1).
Since the result of 041 is "N") and both the setting key switch 93 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are off, the normal power-on (power recovery) processing (power failure recovery processing) is started.
The initial value at the time of power failure recovery (power recovery) is saved in the area to be initialized (A1045). Also,
The above-mentioned probability setting checking flag is also cleared here. Next, a command at the time of power failure recovery corresponding to the processing number prepared for rationally executing the game processing of FIG. 1 described later is transmitted to the effect control device 300 (effect control board) (A1046), and the step is performed. The process proceeds to A1047.

The command at the time of RAM initialization transmitted in the process of step A1044 and the command at the time of recovery from a power failure transmitted in the process of step A1046 include a model designation command indicating the type of the gaming machine, and hold of FIGS. Figure 1 to 4 hold number command indicating the number (Public figure 1 hold number command, normal figure 2 hold number command, normal figure 3 hold number command, normal figure 4 hold number command), power failure recovery command indicating that the power is turned on Is included.

Further, the command at the time of RAM initialization and the command at the time of power failure recovery include the setting value information command (probability setting value information) indicating the setting value information (setting information) which is the information of the probability setting value (setting value) of the game machine 10. Command) is included. The game control device 100 only needs to transmit the set value information command to the effect control device 300 only once when the power is restored (turned on), and thereafter, the effect control device 300 refers to the set value information stored by itself. You can control the production.

The RAM initialization command also includes a RAM initialization command (RAM clear command). The effect control device 300 that has received the RAM initialization command is, for example,
A customer waiting demo is displayed on the display device 41, and the sound of the LED and speaker of the board decoration device 46 etc. is used for RAM.
Notification of initialization (RAM clear) is performed for 30 seconds. Further, the command at the time of power failure recovery includes a screen designation command for designating the display contents of the screen of the display device that can be installed in the game machine 10. Note that the screen specification commands are the customer waiting demo 1 to 4 commands when all of Figures 1 to 4 are normally being processed (when neither fluctuating nor hitting), and the recovery screen commands otherwise. ..

After step A1044 or step A1046, the game control device 100 activates and sets the random number generation circuit (A1047). Specifically, a predetermined register (C) in the random number generation circuit
The CPU 111a sets a code (specified value) for activating the random number generation circuit in the TC update permission register). In addition, the bit transposition pattern of the hard random number (here, the jackpot random number) generated by the hardware of the random number generation circuit is also set.

The bit transposition pattern is a method of exchanging the extracted random number bits (arrangement before bit transposition in the upper row) when they are exchanged in a predetermined order and stored as different bit arrangements (arrangement after bit transposition in the lower row). It is a pattern that determines.

In the present embodiment, by exchanging the bits of the random number according to the bit transposition pattern, the regularity of the random number can be broken and the confidentiality of the random number can be enhanced. The bit transposition pattern may be a fixed single pattern, or may be selected from a plurality of patterns prepared in advance. In addition, the user may be able to set it arbitrarily.

After that, the game control device 100 extracts the values of predetermined registers (soft random number registers 1 to n) in the random number generation circuit when the power is turned on, and determines the corresponding initial value random numbers (the winning symbols in FIG. 1). Initial value of hit symbol random number 1 (hit symbol initial value random number 1), initial value of hit random numbers 1 to 4 for determining the hit of normal figures 1 to 4 (hit initial value random number 1 to 4 (hit initial value random number 1, hit) Initial value random number 2
, Hit initial value random number 3, hit initial value random number 4))), save in a predetermined area of RWM (A1048), and allow interrupt (A1049). In addition, there are multiple types of hit symbols only in normal figure 1 (main normal figure), and they are saved as the initial value random number 1 of the hit symbol.
4 is a fixed design and no random number is used. In addition, the CPU used in this embodiment
The random number generation circuit in 111a is configured so that the initial value of the soft random number register changes each time the power is turned on. Therefore, by using this value as the start value (initial value) of various initial random numbers, the software can be used. The regularity of the generated random numbers can be broken, and it can be difficult for the player to obtain an illegal random number.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 executes an initial value random number update process for updating the values of various initial value random numbers to break the regularity of the random numbers (A1050). Although not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, the hit symbol random number 1 and the hit random numbers 1 to 4 are configured to be generated by using the random numbers generated in the random number generation circuit. However, the hit random number 1 is a so-called "high-speed counter" that is updated based on a clock having a speed equal to or higher than the operating clock of the CPU, and the hit symbol random number 1 and the hit random numbers 2 to 4 are timers that are processing units of the program. CTC output with the same cycle as interrupt processing (CTC (C) different from CTC (CTC0) for timer interrupt processing
It is a "low speed counter" that is updated based on TC2)).

In addition, for the hit symbol random numbers 1 and the hit random numbers 2 to 4, a so-called "initial value change method" is adopted in which the start value is changed by using each initial value random number (generated by software) each time the random numbers make a round. There is. In addition, each random number may be a counter type update by +1 or 1.
It may be a random expression update in which all the values in the range appear in pieces without duplication until one round. That is, the hit random number 1 is a random number updated only by the hardware, and the hit symbol random number 1 and the hit random numbers 2 to 4 are random numbers updated by the hardware and software.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 prohibits interrupts (A1051) and executes a performance display editing process for editing performance information and its display (performance display) (A1052). Here, the performance information (such as the accessory ratio and the ball output rate) may be calculated. Further, when the RAM error flag is set in the register, the work area and the stack area related to the performance information and its display (performance display) may be cleared (if it is not cleared in step A1042). After that, interrupts are permitted (A1053). As a result, the timer interrupt process (FIG. 7) can be executed.

Next, the game control device 100 determines whether or not a power failure has occurred (A1054).
If no power failure has occurred (the result of A1054 is “N”), the process returns to step A1050. As a result, the process of steps A1050-A1054 is repeated until a power failure occurs.

When a power failure occurs (the result of A1054 is "Y"), the game control device 100 starts processing at the time of a power failure, temporarily disables interrupts (A1055), and outputs off-data to all output ports (A1055). 1056). After that, the power failure inspection area check data 1 is saved in the power failure inspection area 1 (A1057), and the power failure inspection area check data 2 is saved in the power failure inspection area 2 (A).
1058). Further, a checksum calculation process for calculating the checksum when the power of the RWM is turned off is executed (A1059), and the calculated checksum is saved (A1060).
.. Finally, a process for prohibiting access to the RWM is executed (A1061), and the game waits until the power of the gaming machine is turned off.

In this way, by saving the check data in the power failure inspection area and calculating the checksum when the power is turned off, it is possible to check whether the information stored in the RWM before the power is cut off is correctly backed up. It can be judged at the time of re-input.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. FIG. 6A is a flowchart showing the procedure of timer interrupt processing (interrupt processing program). The timer interrupt process is started by inputting a periodic timer interrupt signal generated by the CTC circuit in the clock generator to the CPU 111a. When a timer interrupt occurs in the gaming microcomputer 111, the timer interrupt processing is started.

When the timer interrupt processing is started, the game control device 100 first designates the register bank 1 as the register bank to be used (A1301), and sets the upper address of the RAM start address in a predetermined register (for example, the D register). (A1302). By switching from register bank 0 used in main processing to register bank 1 at the start of timer interrupt processing, it is equivalent to saving the register used in main processing. When the timer interrupt processing is started, the interrupt is automatically disabled.

Next, the game control device 100 receives inputs from various sensors and switches and captures signals.
That is, the input process for reading the state of each input port is executed (A1303). Next, it is determined whether or not the probability setting is being changed or the probability setting is being confirmed based on the probability setting changing flag and the probability setting checking flag (A1304). When the probability setting is being changed or the probability setting is being confirmed (the result of A1304 is "Y"), the probability setting change / confirmation process for changing or confirming the probability setting value is executed (A1305).

When the game control device 100 is neither changing the probability setting nor confirming the probability setting (A130).
The result of 4 is "N"), and based on the output data set in various processes, the output for performing drive control of actuators such as solenoids (for example, special winning opening solenoid 39b) and LED drive control (light emission control). The process is executed (A1306). When a launch prohibition signal is output in the process of step A1005 in the main process, the launch permission signal is output by performing this output process, and the launch permission signal can be set to the permitted state.

Next, the game control device 100 executes a payout command transmission process (A1307) that outputs commands set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the payout control device 200, and further, random number update process 1 (A1308) and random number update. Process 2 (A1309) is executed. After that, operation 1
Monitoring whether there is a normal signal input from the a to 1n switch 34a, the winning opening switch 35a, and the operation 2 to 5 switch 39a, and monitoring the error (whether the front frame or the glass frame is open, etc.) The winning opening switch / status monitoring process to be performed is executed (A1310).

Next, the game control device 100 performs processing related to the fluctuation display games of FIGS.
4 The game processing is sequentially executed (A1313a to A1313d). Provided in the game machine 10
The segment LED editing process for driving the segment LED for displaying the display of the special figure variation game and various information related to the game so as to display the desired content is executed (A1314).

Further, the game control device 100 executes a magnet fraud monitoring process of checking the detection signal from the magnetic sensor switch 61 to determine whether or not there is an abnormality (A1315). Further, a radio wave fraud monitoring process (board radio wave fraud monitoring process) for checking the detection signal from the radio wave sensor 62 of the game board and determining whether or not there is an abnormality is executed (A1316).

Next, the game control device 100 executes an external information editing process for setting signals to be output to various external devices in the output buffer (A1319). Then, the performance display monitor control process for controlling the display of the performance display device 152 is executed (A1320). After that, the timer interrupt processing is terminated.

When returning the timer interrupt processing, the interrupt disabled state is restored and the register bank specification is automatically restored. However, depending on the CPU used, interrupts are permitted after the external information editing processing. Processing or processing to return the designation of the register bank to register bank 0 may be performed.

Further, the game control device 100 may be able to determine that the abnormal discharge of the game ball is occurring in the normal variable winning device 37 when the abnormal discharge occurrence flag is set by the abnormal discharge monitoring process. When the abnormal discharge is occurring, the game control device 100 skips the processes from step A1313a to step A1313d, for example, and steps A1.
The processing after 315 can be executed.

Further, the game control device 100 may execute a vibration fraud monitoring process for monitoring fraud due to vibration based on an input from the vibration sensor 65 or an abnormal discharge monitoring process for monitoring abnormal discharge from the normal fluctuation winning device 37. .. In the abnormal discharge monitoring process, the operation 2 in the normal variable winning device 37
Based on the inputs from the ~ 5 switch 39a and the remaining ball discharge port switch 73, the abnormal discharge of the normal variable winning device 37 is monitored, and when the abnormal discharge occurs, the abnormal discharge occurring flag is set. The game ball that has passed through the operation 2 to 5 switches 39a of the normal variable winning device 37 passes through the remaining ball discharge port switch 73 and is discharged.

[Public Figure 1 Game Processing]
Next, the details of the game processing (A1313a) in FIG. 1 in the timer interrupt processing will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the game processing in FIG. In the normal figure 1 game process, the input of the operation 1a to 1n switch 34a is monitored, the entire process related to the normal figure 1 variable display game is controlled, the display of the normal figure 1 is set, and the like.

First, the game control device 100 executes an operation 1 switch monitoring process for monitoring the input from the operation 1a to 1n switch 34a (A7601).

Subsequently, the game control device 100 executes a Fuden 1 winning switch monitoring process for monitoring the input from the operation 2 switch 39a (A7602).

In the game control device 100, when the game processing number in FIG. 1 is not 2 or more, that is, 0 or 1 (the result of A7603 is “N”), whether or not a game other than FIG. 1 is a hit. Is determined (A7604). When the game control device 100 is hit by something other than that shown in FIG.
If the result of A7604 is "Y"), the process proceeds to step A7617, and if anything other than FIG. 1 is not hit (the result of A7604 is "N"), the process proceeds to step A7605.

On the other hand, when the game control device 100 has 2 or more game processing numbers in FIG. 1 (A7).
The result of 603 is "Y"), and the process proceeds to step A7605.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 updates -1 (subtracts only 1) if the game processing timer in FIG. 1 is not 0 (A7605). The minimum value of the game processing timer in FIG. 1 is usually set to 0. Then, the game control device 100 determines whether or not the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 1 is 0 (A7606).

When the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 1 is 0 (the result of A7606 is "Y"), that is, when the time is up or the time is already up, the game control device 100 is set.
The general figure 1 game sequence branch table to be referred to for branching to the process corresponding to the normal figure 1 game processing number is set in the register (A7607).

Further, the game control device 100 acquires the branch destination address of the process corresponding to the game process number of the game 1 based on the set game sequence branch table of the game 1 (A7608).
.. Then, a subroutine call is made according to the game processing number of FIG. 1 to execute the game branching process according to the game processing number of FIG. 1 (A7609).

When the game processing number is "0" in step A7609, the game control device 100 has a game control device 100.
Normal Figure 1 Monitors the fluctuation start of the variable display game, and sets the fluctuation start and effects of the normal Figure 1 variable display game, and sets the information necessary for processing during the normal Figure 1 fluctuation. 1 Normally, the process is executed (A7610).

Further, when the game processing number is "1" in step A7609, the game control device 100 executes the normal-figure 1 changing process for setting information necessary for performing the normal-figure 1 display-changing process. (A7611). For example, in the normal figure 1 changing process, in order to shift to the normal figure 1 display process, "2" is set as the game process number and saved in the normal figure 1 game process number area.
The normal figure display time is saved in the normal figure 1 game processing timer area.

Further, when the game processing number is "2" in step A7609, the game control device 100 sets the fanfare command and the fanfare time in FIG. 1 if the result of the variable display game in FIG. 1 is a hit. , Set the information necessary for performing the process during fanfare in Fig. 1. Execute the process during display in Fig. 1 (A7612). For example, in the normal figure 1 display process, when the result of the normal figure 1 variable display game is a hit, "3" is set as the game process number in order to shift to the normal figure 1 fanfare process. Save to the game processing number area. On the other hand, when the result of the normal figure 1 variable display game is out of order, "0" is set as the game processing number and saved in the normal figure 1 game processing number area in order to shift to the normal figure 1 normal processing.

Further, when the game process is "3" in step A7609, the game control device 100 sets the opening time of the normal figure 1 and sets the information necessary for performing the middle process per the normal figure 1. FIG. 1 The processing during fanfare is executed (A7613). For example, in the process during the fanfare of the normal figure 1, in order to shift to the medium process per the normal figure 1, "4" is set as the game process number and saved in the game process number area of the normal figure 1. Based on the above, the normal power 1 open time 1 or the normal power 1 open time 2 is saved in the normal power 1 game processing timer area.

Further, when the game processing number is "4" in step A7609, the game control device 100 sets the information necessary for continuing the middle processing per normal figure 1 or performing the normal electric 1 remaining ball processing. The middle process is executed per normal drawing (A7614). For example, in the medium processing per normal figure 1,
After making settings for opening the normal variable winning device 37 (normal variable winning device 37d) a predetermined number of times, in order to shift to the normal variable winning device 37, the game processing number is set to "5". Fig. 1 Save in the game processing number area.

Further, when the game processing number is "5" in step A7609, the game control device 100 executes the Fuden 1 remaining ball processing for setting the information necessary for performing the end processing per normal drawing 1. (A7615). For example, in the Fuden 1 remaining ball processing, in order to shift to the end processing per Fu-Fig. 1, "6" is set as the game processing number and saved in the Fu-Fig. 1 game processing number area, and the Fu-Fig. 1 ending time 1 is saved in the game processing timer area.

Further, when the game processing number is "6" in step A7609, the game control device 100 performs the end processing per normal drawing 1 for setting the information necessary for performing the normal processing (A7610) in normal drawing 1. Execute (A7616). For example, in the end processing per normal figure 1, in order to shift to the normal processing of normal figure 1, "0" is set as the game processing number and saved in the game processing number area of normal figure 1.

After that, the game control device 100 prepares a normal figure 1 fluctuation control table for controlling the fluctuation of the normal symbol by the normal figure display 53 (variation display unit 53) (A7617). After that, the symbol fluctuation control process related to the control of the fluctuation of the normal symbol by the normal symbol display 53 is executed (A7618).
, General Figure 1 End the game processing.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 1 is not 0 (A760).
If the result of 6 is "N"), that is, if the time is not up, step A7617
Subsequent processing is executed.

[Operation 1 switch monitoring process]
Next, the details of the operation 1 switch monitoring process (A7601) in the normal game process will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the operation 1 switch monitoring process.

First, the game control device 100 determines whether or not there is an input to the operation 1a switch 34a corresponding to one of the normal drawing start gates 34 (for example, the upper normal drawing starting gate 34 in the game area 32 shown in FIG. 2). (A7701). Then, when there is an input to the operation 1a switch 34a (the result of A7701 is "Y"), after executing the operation 1 switch common process (A770).
2) It is determined whether or not there is an input to the operation 1b switch 34a corresponding to the other side of the normal drawing start gate 34 (for example, the lower normal drawing starting gate 34 in the game area 32 shown in FIG. 2) (A7).
703).

On the other hand, when the game control device 100 has no input to the operation 1a switch 34a (A7).
The result of 701 is "N"), the operation 1b switch 34a corresponding to the other side of the normal start gate 34.
It is determined whether or not there is an input in (A7703).

Then, when the game control device 100 has an input to the operation 1b switch 34a (A7).
The result of 703 is "Y"), the operation 1 switch common process is executed (A7704), and the operation 1 switch monitoring process is completed. On the other hand, when there is no input to the operation 1b switch 34a (A7)
The result of 703 is "N"), and the operation 1 switch monitoring process is terminated as it is.

In the above operation 1 switch monitoring process, it has been described that the input to the operation 1a switch 34a and the operation 1b switch 34a switch corresponding to the start gate 34 in the normal drawing is determined, but the corresponding operations 1a to 1n switch 34a are used. The input may be determined by setting three or more. For example, when the normal drawing start port 34b is provided in the game area 32 as shown in FIG.
The game control device 100 can further determine the input to the operation 1c switch 34a corresponding to the normal drawing start port 34b.

[Operation 1 switch common processing]
Next, the operation 1 switch common process (A7702, A77) in the operation 1 switch monitoring process.
The details of 04) will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure of common processing for the operation 1 switch. The common process of the operation 1 switch is the operation 1a to 1n switch 34a (operation 1a,
This is a process that is commonly performed for each input when there is an input of the 1b switch 34a).

First, the game control device 100 provides information regarding the number of inputs (passing through the gate or winning to the winning opening) to the switch to be monitored (passing through the gate or winning a prize to the winning opening) to the external management device of the game machine 10 among the operations 1a to 1n switches 34a. Load the start signal output count, which is the number of outputs (A77)
11). Then, the loaded value is updated by +1 (A7712), and it is determined whether or not the number of outputs overflows (A7713). When the number of outputs does not overflow (A77
The result of 13 is "N"), and the updated value is saved in the start signal output count area of RWM (
A7714), the process proceeds to step A7715. On the other hand, when the number of outputs overflows (the result of A7713 is "Y"), the process proceeds to step A7715. In the present embodiment, a value from "0" to "255" can be stored in the start signal output frequency region. Then, when the loaded value is "255", the updated value becomes "0" by +1 update, and it is configured to determine that the number of outputs overflows.

Next, the game control device 100 determines whether or not the number of holdings in FIG. 1 (the number of storages for starting in FIG. 1 and the number of holdings in FIG. 1) is less than the upper limit (A7715). When the number of reserved switches in FIG. 1 is not less than the upper limit value, that is, is greater than or equal to the upper limit value (the result of A7715 is “N”), the operation 1 switch common process is terminated. In addition, when the number of reserved items in Fig. 1 is less than the upper limit (the result of A7715 is "
Y ”), the number of reservations in Fig. 1 is updated by +1 (A7716).

Next, the game control device 100 calculates the address of the random number storage area corresponding to the number of pending information in FIG. 1 (A7717), extracts and prepares the random number 1 per hit used in the pending information determination process in FIG. 1 (A).
7718), the hit random number 1 is saved in the hit random number 1 storage area of the RWM (A7719). Next, the hit symbol random numbers of the monitored operation 1a to 1n switch 34a used in the normal figure 1 hold information determination process are extracted and prepared (A7720), and saved in the hit symbol random number storage area of the RWM (A7721). ..

Next, the game control device 100 saves the fluctuation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 in the corresponding fluctuation pattern random number storage area of the RWM (A7722), and executes the normal drawing 1 hold information determination process (A).
7723). In the normal figure 1 hold information judgment process, the look-ahead stop symbol command corresponding to the stopped symbol information based on the saved hit random number or the hit symbol random number, and the first half variation number based on the saved variation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 (number of pre-reach variation). ) And the latter half fluctuation number (number of fluctuation after reach) The corresponding look-ahead fluctuation pattern command is set as an effect command. Then, a decorative command corresponding to the number of pending figures in Fig. 1 is prepared as an effect command (A7724).
), The effect command setting process (A7725) is executed to end the operation 1 switch common process.

Here, the game control device 100 (RAM111c) extracts a predetermined random number based on the inflow of the game ball into the start winning area of the normal drawing start gate 34, the normal variation starting port 34b, and the normal variation winning device 37, and the variation is described. It serves as a start storage means for storing up to a predetermined number of start memories that are the right to execute a display game. Further, the start storage means (game control device 100) uses up to a predetermined number of various random value values extracted based on the passage of the game ball to the normal figure start gate 34 and the winning of the normal figure start port 34b. 1 It is stored as a start memory, and various random value values extracted based on the inflow of game balls into the start winning area of the normal variable winning device 37 are stored as the start memory of FIGS. 2 to 4 up to a predetermined number.

[Public train 1 winning switch monitoring process]
Next, the details of the Fuden 1 winning switch monitoring process (A7602) in the Fuden 1 game process will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the Fuden 1 winning switch monitoring process.

In the game control device 100, first, the normal variable winning device 37 (normal variable winning device 37d) executes the opening operation a predetermined number of times when the normal variable winning device 37 is open, that is, the normal variable display game is in the winning state. It is determined whether or not it is inside (A7801). Then, when the general electric power 1 is open (the result of A7801 is "Y"), it is determined whether or not there is an input to the operation 2 switch 39a (A7802). When there is an input to the operation 2 switch 39a (the result of A7802 is "
"Y"), update the count number of the normal electric 1 counter (1 count of general electric power) by +1 (A7803)
).

Subsequently, the game control device 100 determines whether or not the count number of the updated general electric power 1 counter has reached the upper limit value (for example, 4) (A7804).

After that, the end processing per normal figure 1 is completed.

[Public Figure 2 Game Processing]
Next, the details of the game processing (A1313b) in FIG. 2 in the timer interrupt processing will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the game processing in FIG. In the normal drawing 2 game processing, the input of the operation 2 switch 39a is monitored, the entire processing related to the normal drawing 2 variable display game is controlled, and the display setting of the normal drawing 2 is performed. In addition, it should be noted that the game processing of the normal figure 2 and the normal figures 3 and 4 described later
The game processing is the same as the game processing in FIG. 1, but the operation switches to be monitored are different.

First, the game control device 100 executes an operation 2 switch monitoring process for monitoring the input from the operation 2 switch 39a (A10601).

Subsequently, the game control device 100 executes a Fuden 2 winning switch monitoring process for monitoring the input from the operation 3 switch 39a (A10602).

In the game control device 100, when the game processing number in FIG. 2 is not 2 or more, that is, 0 or 1 (the result of A10603 is "N"), whether or not a game other than FIG. 2 is a hit. Is determined (A10604). The game control device 100 proceeds to step A10617 when a hit other than the normal drawing 2 is hit (the result of A10604 is "Y"), and when the other than the normal drawing 2 is not hit (A10604). The result is "N"), and the process proceeds to step A10605.

On the other hand, when the game control device 100 has 2 or more game processing numbers in FIG. 2 (A1).
The result of 0603 is "Y"), and the process proceeds to step A10605.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 updates -1 (subtracts only 1) if the game processing timer in FIG. 2 is not 0 (A10605). The minimum value of the game processing timer in FIG. 2 is usually set to 0. Then, the game control device 100 determines whether or not the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 2 is 0 (A10606).

The game control device 100 processes the game in FIG. 2 when the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 2 is 0 (the result of A10606 is “Y”), that is, when the time is up or has already been up. The game sequence branch table referred to in order to branch to the process corresponding to the number is set in the register (A10607).

Further, the game control device 100 acquires the branch destination address of the process corresponding to the game process number of the game 2 based on the set table of the game sequence of the game 2 (A10608).
). Then, a subroutine call is made according to the game processing number of FIG. 2 to execute the game branching process according to the game processing number of FIG. 2 (A10609).

When the game processing number is "0" in step A10609, the game control device 100 monitors the fluctuation start of the variation display game in FIG. 2, and sets the variation start and the effect of the variation display game in FIG. Or, the normal process of Fig. 2 is executed (A10610), in which information necessary for performing the process during the fluctuation of the normal figure 2 is set.

Further, when the game processing number is "1" in step A10609, the game control device 100 executes the processing during fluctuations in FIG. 2 for setting information necessary for performing the processing during display in FIG. (A10611). For example, in the normal figure 2 changing process, in order to shift to the normal figure 2 display process, "2" is set as the game process number and saved in the normal figure 2 game process number area, and the normal figure display time is set. Normal Figure 2 Save in the game processing timer area.

Further, when the game processing number is "2" in step A10609, the game control device 100 sets the opening time of the normal figure 2 and hits the normal figure 2 if the result of the variable display game in the normal figure 2 is a hit. Set the information required to perform the intermediate processing. Execute the processing during display in Fig. 2 (A106).

For example, in the process during display of Fu-Fig. 2, in order to shift to the process during display of Fu-Fig. 2, "3" is set as the game process number and saved in the game process number area of Fu-Fig. Is saved in the Fuden 2 game processing timer area. On the other hand, if the result of the variable display game in Fig. 2 is out of alignment, "0" is set as the game processing number and saved in the game processing number area in Fig. 2 in order to shift to the normal processing in Fig. 2.

Further, when the game processing number is "3" in step A10609, the game control device 100 sets the information necessary for continuing the middle processing per normal drawing 2 or performing the normal electric 2 remaining ball processing. The middle process is executed per normal drawing 2 to be performed (A10614). For example, in the middle processing per normal drawing 2, after making a setting for opening the normal variable winning device 37 (normal variable winning device 37e) a predetermined number of times, the game processing is performed in order to shift to the normal variable winning ball processing. Set "4" as the number and save it in the game processing number area in Fig. 2.

Further, when the game processing number is "4" in step A10609, the game control device 100 executes the Fuden 2 remaining ball processing for setting the information necessary for performing the end processing per Fig. 2. (A10615). For example, in the Fuden 2 remaining ball processing, in order to shift to the end processing per Fu-Fig. 2, "5" is set as the game processing number and saved in the Fu-Fig. 2 game processing number area, and the Fu-Fig. 2 ending time 2 is saved in the game processing timer area.

Further, when the game processing number is "5" in step A10609, the game control device 100 performs the end processing per normal drawing 2 for setting the information necessary for performing the normal processing (A10610) in normal drawing 2.

For example, in the end processing per normal figure 2, in order to shift to the normal processing in normal figure 2, "0" is set as the game processing number and the game is saved in the game processing number area in normal figure 2.

After that, the game control device 100 prepares a normal figure 2 fluctuation control table for controlling the fluctuation of the normal symbol by the normal figure display 53 (variation display unit 53) (A10617). After that, the symbol fluctuation control process related to the control of the fluctuation of the normal symbol by the normal symbol display 53 is executed (A1061).
8), End the game processing in Fig. 2.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 2 is not 0 (A106).
If the result of 06 is "N"), that is, if the time is not up, step A106

) Is executing the opening operation a predetermined number of times (A10701). Then, when the normal electric power 1 is operating (the result of A10701 is "Y"), it is determined whether or not there is an input to the operation 2 switch 39a (10702).

When there is an input to the operation 2 switch 39a (the result of 10702 is "Y"), it is determined whether or not the number of holdings in FIG. 2 (number of storages for starting in FIG. 2 and holding in FIG. 2) is less than the upper limit. (A107
03). If the number of reserved items in Fig. 2 is less than the upper limit (the result of A10703 is "Y"), the number of items held in Fig. 2 is updated by +1 (A10704).

Next, the game control device 100 calculates the address of the random number storage area corresponding to the number of reserved numbers in FIG. 2 (A10705), and extracts and prepares the random number 2 to be used in the processing for determining the number of reserved numbers in FIG. 2 (A10705). A10706), the hit random number 2 is saved in the hit random number 2 storage area of the RWM (A1070).
7).

Then, the decoration command for the number of holds in FIG. 2 is prepared as an effect command (A10708), the effect command setting process (A10709) is executed, and the operation 2 switch monitoring process is completed.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the normal electric power 1 is not operating (the result of A10701 is "N".
”), When there is no input to the operation 2 switch 39a (the result of A10702 is“ N ”), or when the number of holdings in FIG. 2 is not less than the upper limit value, that is, more than or equal to the upper limit value (the result of A10703 is“ N ”). ”), The operation 2 switch monitoring process is terminated.

[Public train 2 winning switch monitoring process]
Next, the details of the Fuden 2 winning switch monitoring process (A10602) in the Fuden 2 game process will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the Fuden 2 winning switch monitoring process.

First, the game control device 100 is in the open state of the normal electric power 2, that is, the normal variable winning device 37 (normal variable winning device 37e) executes the opening operation a predetermined number of times when the normal variable display game is in the winning state. It is determined whether or not it is inside (A10801). Then, when the normal power 2 is open (the result of A10801 is "Y"), it is determined whether or not there is an input to the operation 3 switch 39a (A10802). When there is an input to the operation 3 switch 39a (the result of A10802 is "Y"), the count number of the normal power 2 counter (1 count number of the normal power) is updated by +1 (A).
10803).

Subsequently, the game control device 100 determines whether or not the count number of the updated Fuden 2 counter has reached the upper limit value (for example, 4) (A10804). Then, when the number of counts of the Fuden 2 reaches the upper limit (the result of A10804 is "Y"), the game processing timer area of Fig. 2 is cleared to 0 (A10805), and the Fuden 2 winning switch monitoring process is performed. To finish. That is, if there is a prize for the prize 2 that is equal to or greater than the upper limit while the game is open (during the hit state), the game processing timer area for the game 2 is cleared to 0 at that time, and the normal variable prize device 37e is activated. Closed and normal Figure 2
Make sure that the hit state ends in the middle. It should be noted that the game control device 100 is also used in the Fuden 3 and 4 winning switch monitoring processes (A13602 and A14602) in the Fuden 3 and 4 games described later.
Similarly determines whether or not the count number of the updated Fuden 3 and 4 counters has reached the upper limit value, and the upper limit value of the count number of the Fuden 3 and 4 counters at that time is, for example, 6. ..

On the other hand, when it is determined that the game control device 100 is not open to the normal power 2 (the result of A10801 is "N"), and when it is determined that there is no input to the operation 3 switch 39a (the result of A10802 is "N"). ), Or when it is determined that the number of counts of the normal train 2 has not reached the upper limit value (the result of A10804 is "N"), the normal power 2 winning switch monitoring process is terminated.

[Usually Figure 2 Ordinary processing]
Next, the details of the normal processing (A10610) in the normal drawing 2 game processing will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the procedure of normal processing in FIG.

The game control device 100 first determines whether or not the number of reservations in FIG. 2 is 0 (A1090).
1). Normal Figure 2 If the number of pending items is 0 (the result of A10901 is "Y"), customer waiting demo 2
Is set (A10902), and if the customer waiting demo 2 is not set (the result of A10902 is "N"), the customer waiting demo 2 flag is set in the customer waiting demo flag area. (A10903). The production control device 300 starts the customer waiting demo by setting the flag in the customer waiting demos 1 to 4.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 prepares the customer waiting demo 2 command as an effect command (A10904), performs the effect command setting process (A10905), and steps A1090.
Move to the process of 6. On the other hand, if the customer waiting demo 2 has already been set in step A10902 (the result of A10902 is "Y"), the processing number is "0" related to normal processing in FIG.
Is set (A10906), and the processing number is saved in the game processing number area of Fig. 2 (A10).
907). Then, the flag during the fraud monitoring period is saved in the Fuden 2 fraud monitoring period flag area (A10908), and the normal processing in Fig. 2 is terminated.

Further, when the number of reservations in FIG. 2 is not 0 (the result of A10901 is "N"), the game control device 100 executes the variation start process in FIG. 2 (A10909). And the game control device 1
For 00, "1" is set as the processing number for shifting to the processing during fluctuation in FIG. 2 (A1091).
0), save the processing number in the game processing number area of FIG. 2 (A10911).

Subsequently, the game control device 100 clears the customer waiting demo 2 flag set in the customer waiting demo flag area (A10912), and tests a signal related to the start of fluctuation of normal symbol 2 (normal symbol 2 changing signal is turned on). It is saved in the signal output data area (A10913), and the changing flag indicating that the normal figure fluctuation display game (normal figure 2 fluctuation display game) is changing is saved in the normal figure 2 fluctuation control flag area (A10914). Then, the blinking control timer initial value (for example, 100 msec), which is the initial value of the blinking cycle timer of the ordinary figure display 53 (variation display unit), is set to the ordinary figure 2
Save in the blinking control timer area (A10915), save the initial value (here, "0" indicating a blank symbol) in the variable symbol number area in Fig. 2 (A10916), and then end the normal processing in Fig. 2. ..

[Public figure 2 fluctuation start processing]
Next, the details of the normal drawing 2 fluctuation start processing (A10909) in the normal drawing 2 normal processing will be described. FIG. 23A is a flowchart showing the procedure of the fluctuation start processing of FIG.

The game control device 100 first starts with a random number (for the number of hold 1) from the RWM hit random number 2 storage area (for the number of hold 1).
Load the hit random number 2) and clear the loaded area (hit random number 2 storage area) to 0 (A1).
1201).

The game control device 100 determines whether or not the hit random number 2 is equal to or greater than the upper limit determination value (for example, 4092) (A11202). If the winning random number 2 is equal to or greater than the upper limit determination value (the result of A11202 is “Y”), that is, if it is out of order, the process proceeds to step A11204. When the hit random number 2 is less than the upper limit determination value (the result of A11202 is "N"), it is determined whether or not the hit random number 2 is less than the lower limit determination value (A11203).

In the game control device 100, when the hit random number 2 is less than the lower limit determination value (for example, 0) (A11).
If the result of 203 is “Y”), that is, if it is out of alignment, the outlier information is saved in the hit flag 2 area (A11204). Further, a stop symbol number is set as the normal figure 2 stop symbol number (A11205), and the missed symbol information is saved in the normal figure 2 stop symbol information area (A112).
06), the process proceeds to step A11210.

The hit probability can be set in advance, for example, as shown in FIG. 23B.

FIG. 23B is a table showing an example of the hit probability of FIGS. 1 to 4.

For example, as shown in FIG. 23B (A), normal figure 1 has a probability of 996/997, normal figure 2 has a probability of 4092/4093, normal figure 3 has a probability of 4090/4091, and normal figure 4 has a probability of 3000/3001. It will be a hit. Further, for example, the upper limit determination value is 996 in the normal diagram 1 and 4092 in the general diagram 2.
The normal figure 3 is 4090, the normal figure 4 is 3000, and the lower limit determination value is 0 in the normal figures 1 to 4. That is, in the range in which the hit random numbers 1 to 4 can be distributed (range of random numbers), the hit random number 1 is 0 to 996.
The hit random number 2 is 0 to 4092, the hit random number 3 is 0 to 4090, the hit random number 4 is 0 to 3000, and only when the values of the hit random numbers 1 to 4 match the upper limit determination value is lost.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 23B (B), the hit probabilities in FIGS. 1 to 4 may be set so that all the sortable ranges of the hit random numbers 1 to 4 are hits. Further, the hit probabilities in FIGS. 1 to 4 may be set so that the hit probabilities in normal figures 1 are low, as shown in FIG. 23B (C).

In FIG. 23B (B), the upper limit determination value of FIGS. 1 to 4 is usually +1 larger than the sortable range of the random numbers 1 to 4. Therefore, all the loaded hit random numbers 1 to 4 can be hit. Therefore, for example, it is difficult for a game ball to pass through the passage opening entrance 32a, and the number of game balls that pass through or enter (or win) the normal figure start gate 34 or the normal figure start port 34b is the number of fired game balls. It is preferable to set the game machine 10 to be extremely small compared to (the number of shots).
In such a game machine 10, all the loaded hit random numbers 1 to 4 are hits, so that the player is convinced that the game ball will hit when it passes through the hobby start gate 34 or the hobby start port 34b or wins a prize. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in FIG. 23 (C), FIG. 1 is usually a hit with a probability of 5/997. In addition, general figure 1
The upper limit determination value becomes 12, and the lower limit determination value becomes 7. Therefore, when the hit random number 1 of the loaded normal figure 1 is 7 to 11, the normal figure 1 becomes a hit, and the other hit random numbers 1 (0 to 6, 12).
When ~ 996) is loaded, Fig. 1 is out of order. Therefore, for example, a game ball that easily passes through the passage port entrance 32 (or does not have the passage port entrance 32) and passes through or enters (or wins) a normal figure start gate 34 or a normal figure start port 34b. It is preferable that the number is set to the game machine 10 which is not extremely small compared to the number of shots. In such a game machine 10, the normal figure 1 variable display game can be executed relatively frequently, and the player can frequently have a feeling of expectation for hitting by executing the normal figure 1 variable display game. , The interest of the game can be improved.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the winning random number 2 is not less than the lower limit determination value (A1120).
If the result of 3 is "N"), that is, if it is a hit, the hit information is saved in the hit flag 2 area (
A11207), set the hit stop symbol number corresponding to the loaded hit random number 2 (A112).
08), the hit stop symbol information corresponding to the hit stop symbol number is saved in the normal FIG. 2 stop symbol information area (A11209), and the process proceeds to step A11210. In addition, the hit stop symbol (
The hit symbol) is one type in the present embodiment, but several types may exist.

Next, the game control device 100 saves the stop symbol number in the normal FIG. 2 stop symbol area (A11).
210), save the stop symbol number (symbol data of normal FIG. 2) in the test signal output data area (
A11211), the hit random number 2 storage area is shifted (A11212), the free area after the shift is cleared to 0 (A11213), and then the number of reserved numbers in FIG. 2 is updated by -1 (A11214).

That is, with the execution of the oldest normal figure 2 hold number 1 related normal figure variation display game (normal figure 2 variable display game), the normal figure 2 hold 2 to which is held after the normal figure 2 hold 1 Move up the rank of 4 one by one. By this processing, the values for the hit random number 2 storage area for the normal figure 2 hold number 2 to the normal figure 2 hold number 4 are changed from the normal figure 2 hold number 1 to the normal figure 2 hold number 3 in the hit random number 2 storage area.
Will be moved for. Then, the value for the normal figure 2 hold number 4 in the hit random number 2 storage area is cleared, and the normal figure 2 hold number is decremented by 1.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 prepares the decorative Fu-Fig. 2 hold number command corresponding to the Fu-Fig. 2 hold number as an effect command (A11215), and executes the effect command setting process (A11).
216). Then, the game control device 100 normally sets the normal map display time (for example, 700 msec), which is the display time of the result of the normal map variable display game (normal figure 2 variable display game) on the normal map display 53 (variation display unit). FIG. 2 Saves in the game processing timer area (A11217), and ends the normal variation start processing in FIG.

[Usually Figure 2 Processing during fluctuation]
Next, the details of the process during fluctuation of FIG. 2 (A10611) in the game process of FIG. 2 will be described. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a procedure of processing during fluctuation in FIG.

The game control device 100 determines whether or not the hit flag 2 (hit information or miss information) set in the fluctuation start process of FIG. 2 is a hit (A11301). Game control device 100
If the hit flag 2 is not a hit (the result of A11301 is “N”), the hit flag 2 is cleared (A11302), and the process proceeds to step A11304. On the other hand
When the hit flag 2 is a hit (the result of A11301 is “Y”), the middle flag per hit in FIG. 2 is set (A11303), and the process proceeds to step A11304. The hitting flag of normal figure 2 indicates that normal figure 2 is hit, and other normal figures (other than normal figures 1, 3 and 4) are hit in each of the game processes of normal figures 1, 3 and 4. This is a flag used to determine whether or not.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 sets the process number to "2" (A11304) as a setting process for shifting to the process during display in FIG. 2, and saves the process number in the game process number area in FIG. 2 (A11304). A11305). After that, the game control device 100 commonly sets the normal map display time (for example, 600 msec), which is the display time of the result of the normal map variable display game (normal figure 2 variable display game) on the normal map display 53 (variation display unit). Fig. 2 Save to the game processing timer area (A11)
306).

Further, the game control device 100 saves a signal relating to the end of the fluctuation of FIG. 2 (the signal during fluctuation of the normal symbol 2 is turned off) in the test signal output data area (A11307).

After that, the game control device 100 saves a stop flag indicating that the normal figure fluctuation display game (normal figure 2 variable display game) is stopped in the normal figure 2 fluctuation control flag area (A11308).
, General Figure 1 Ends the process during fluctuation.

[Processing during display of normal figure 2]
Next, the details of the process during display of FIG. 2 (A10612) in the game process of FIG. 2 will be described. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the process during display in FIG.

First, the game control device 100 loads the hit flag 2 (hit information or miss information) set in the fluctuation start process of FIG. 2 (A11401), and clears the hit flag 2 region of the RWM (A11402). Then, it is determined whether or not the hit information is set in the loaded hit flag 2 (A11403).

When the hit information is not set in the hit flag 2, the game control device 100 has (A11).
The result of 403 is "N"), "0" is set as the processing number for shifting to the normal processing in Fig. 2 (A11414), and the processing number is saved in the game processing number area in Fig. 2 (A11415).
). After that, the flag during the fraud monitoring period is saved in the Fuden 2 fraud monitoring period flag area (A11).
416), Ends the process while displaying General Figure 2.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the hit information is set in the hit flag 2, (A).
The result of 11403 is "Y"), the command for opening the Fuden 2 is prepared (A11404), and the effect command setting process is executed (A11405). Then, "3" is set as the processing number for shifting to the middle processing per the normal drawing 2 (A11406), and the processing number is saved in the normal drawing 2 game processing number area (A11407).

After that, the game control device 100 saves the normal power 2 opening time (for example, 5500 msec) in the normal power 2 game processing timer area (A11408).

Subsequently, the game control device 100 receives a signal relating to the start of hitting the normal power 2 (turning on the medium signal per normal symbol 2), a signal relating to the start of operating the normal power 2 (turning on the signal indicating that the normal electric accessory 2 is operating), and Is saved in the test signal output data area (A11409). Furthermore, Fuden 2 solenoid 37
On-data is saved in the Fuden 2 solenoid output data area in order to output a signal for driving (on) c (A11410).

Further, the game control device 100 clears the information in the normal electric 2 count number area for storing the number of winnings in the normal variable winning device 37 (normal variable winning device 37e) (A11411). And
Clear the information in the area of the number of illegally won prizes in the ordinary electric machine 2 (A11412), which stores the number of prizes in the ordinary variable winning device 37 (ordinary variable winning device 37e) during the illegal monitoring period of the ordinary electric power machine 2.

After that, the flag (flag outside the fraudulent monitoring period) that defines the outside of the fraud monitoring period of the normal variable winning device 37 (normal variable winning device 37e) is saved in the Fuden 2 fraud monitoring period flag area (A1).
1413), the process of displaying General Figure 2 is terminated.

[Medium processing per normal figure 2]
Next, the details of the middle processing (A10614) per normal drawing 2 in the normal drawing 2 game processing will be described. FIG. 26A is a flowchart showing a procedure of intermediate processing per normal FIG.

First, the game control device 100 prepares a Fuden 2 closing command (A11601) for closing the movable member 37b of the normal variable winning device 37e, and executes the effect command setting process (A11602). Then, as a processing number for shifting to the processing of the remaining spheres in Fig. 2, "4"
(A11603), and save the processing number in the game processing number area of Fig. 2 (A1).
1604).

Subsequently, the game control device 100 saves the Fuden 2 remaining ball processing time (for example, 900 msec) in the Fuden 2 game processing timer area (A11605). After that, in order to set the Fuden 2 solenoid 37c to off, the off data is saved in the Fuden 2 solenoid output data area (A11606), and the processing in the middle of FIG. 2 is completed.

In this way, the game control device 100 executes the middle processing (A7615) per normal drawing 1 from the changing processing (A10611) in FIG. 2 corresponding to the processing number set in the game processing in FIG. 26B. As shown in, the Fuden 2 can be operated. In addition, as shown in FIG. 26B, the game control device 100 can operate the Fuden 3 and 4 in the same manner as the Fuden 2 by performing the same processing in the Fuden 3 and 4 game processing described later. it can.

FIG. 26B is an example of a timing chart when the normal electric powers 2 to 4 are operated.

For example, at the timing of the opening pattern 1 shown in FIG. 26B, the normal electric trains 2 to 4 (movable members 37b of the ordinary variable winning devices 37e to 37g) operate separately. For example, open pattern 1
Then, the normal map display time is set to 600 msec (A11306), and during this period, the normal power 2 is closed.

Further, for example, in the opening pattern 1, the normal power 2 opening time (5500 msec) is saved in the normal power 2 game processing timer area (A11408), so that the normal power 2 opening time (5500) is saved.
During msec), the Fuden 2 operates to switch from the closed state to the open state. Then, for example,
The remaining sphere processing time (Public electric 2 remaining sphere processing time) is set to 900 msec (A11605), and the ending time (ending time) of Fig. 2 described later is set to 100 msec (A11903), respectively, and the normal electric 2 is in the closed state. Will be. It should be noted that the Fudens 3 and 4 can be similarly operated at the timing of the opening pattern 1.

[Public train 2 remaining ball processing]
Next, the details of the Fuden 2 remaining ball processing (A10615) in the Fuden 2 game processing will be described. FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the procedure for processing the remaining spheres of Fuden 2.

First, the game control device 100 sets the process number "5" related to the end process per FIG. 2 (A).
11901), the processing number is saved in the game processing number area of FIG. 2 (A11902). After that, the ending time (for example, 100 msec) of FIG. 2 is saved in the game processing timer area of FIG. 2 (A11903).

Further, the game control device 100 saves a signal (turning off the normal electric accessory 2 operating signal) regarding the end of the operation of the normal electric power 2 (the end of the operation of the movable member 37b of the normal variable winning device 37e) in the test signal output data area. (A11904). Subsequently, the normal variable winning device 37 (normal variable winning device 37e) is cleared (A11905), which counts the number of winnings in the normal variable winning device 37.
Further, the Fuden 2 open information area is cleared (A11906). After that, the processing of the remaining spheres of Fuden 2 is completed.

[End processing per normal figure 2]
Next, the details of the end processing (A10616) for each normal figure 2 in the normal figure 2 game processing will be described. FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing a procedure of termination processing per normal FIG.

The game control device 100 first clears the middle flag per normal figure 2 (A12101), sets the process number "0" related to the normal process in normal figure 2 (A12102), and sets the process number to the game process number in normal figure 2. Save to the area (A12103). After that, Fuzu 2 (Fluctuating display game)
The signal related to the end of hitting (normal signal 2 hitting middle signal is turned off) is saved in the test signal output data area (A12104).

Further, the game control device 100 saves a flag (a flag during the fraud monitoring period) that defines the fraud monitoring period of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 (normal fluctuation winning device 37e) in the Fuden 2 fraud monitoring period flag area (A12105). After that, the end processing is completed per normal drawing 2.

[Public Figure 3 Game Processing]
Next, the details of the game processing (A1313c) in FIG. 3 in the timer interrupt processing will be described. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the game processing in FIG. In the normal drawing 3 game processing, the input of the operation 3 switch 39a is monitored, the entire processing related to the normal drawing 3 variable display game is controlled, and the display setting of the normal drawing 3 is performed. In addition, in the game processing of the normal figure 3, the same processing as the game processing of the normal figures 1 and 2 and the game processing of the normal figure 4 described later is performed, but the operation switches to be monitored are different.

First, the game control device 100 executes an operation 3 switch monitoring process for monitoring the input from the operation 3 switch 39a (A13601).

Subsequently, the game control device 100 executes a Fuden 3 winning switch monitoring process for monitoring the input from the operation 4 switch 39a (A13602).

In the game control device 100, when the game processing number in FIG. 3 is not 2 or more, that is, 0 or 1 (the result of A13603 is “N”), whether or not a game other than FIG. 3 is a hit. Is determined (A13604). The game control device 100 proceeds to step A13617 when a hit other than the normal drawing 3 is hit (the result of A13604 is “Y”), and proceeds to step A13617, and when the hit other than the normal drawing 3 is not hit (A13604). The result is "N"), and the process proceeds to step A13605.

On the other hand, when the game control device 100 has a game processing number of 2 or more in FIG. 3 (A1).
The result of 3603 is "Y"), and the process proceeds to step A13605.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 updates -1 (subtracts only 1) if the game processing timer in FIG. 3 is not 0 (A13605). The minimum value of the game processing timer in FIG. 3 is usually set to 0. Then, the game control device 100 determines whether or not the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 3 is 0 (A13606).

The game control device 100 processes the game in FIG. 3 when the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 3 is 0 (the result of A13606 is “Y”), that is, when the time is up or has already been up. The game sequence branch table referred to in order to branch to the process corresponding to the number is set in the register (A13607).

Further, the game control device 100 acquires the branch destination address of the process corresponding to the game process number of the game 3 based on the set game sequence branch table of the game 3 (A13608).
). Then, a subroutine call is made according to the game processing number of FIG. 3 to execute the game branching process according to the game processing number of FIG. 3 (A13609).

When the game processing number is "0" in step A13609, the game control device 100 monitors the fluctuation start of the variation display game in FIG. 3, and sets the variation start and the effect of the variation display game in FIG. Or, the normal process of Fig. 3 is executed (A13610), in which the information necessary for performing the process during the fluctuation of the normal figure 3 is set.

Further, when the game processing number is "1" in step A13609, the game control device 100 executes the normal-figure 3 variable processing for setting information necessary for performing the normal-figure 3 display-progressing processing. (A13611). For example, in the normal figure 3 changing process, in order to shift to the normal figure 3 display process, "2" is set as the game process number and saved in the normal figure 3 game process number area, and the normal figure display time is set. Figure 3 Save to the game processing timer area.

Further, when the game processing number is "2" in step A13609, the game control device 100 sets the opening time of the normal figure 3 and hits the normal figure 3 if the result of the variable display game in the normal figure 3 is a hit. Set the information required to perform the intermediate processing. Execute the processing during display in Fig. 3 (A136).
12). For example, in the process of displaying the normal figure 3, in order to shift to the medium process per the normal figure 3, "3" is set as the game process number and saved in the game process number area of the normal figure 3, and the normal electric 3 open time. Is saved in the Fuden 3 game processing timer area. On the other hand, if the result of the variable display game in Fig. 3 is out of alignment, "0" is set as the game processing number and saved in the game processing number area in Fig. 3 in order to shift to the normal processing in Fig. 3.

In addition, when the game processing number is "3" in step A13609, the game control device 100 sets information necessary for continuing the middle processing per normal drawing 3 or performing the normal electric 3 remaining ball processing. The middle process is executed per normal drawing 3 to be performed (A13614). For example, in the middle processing per normal figure 3, after setting to open the normal variable winning device 37 (normal variable winning device 37f) a predetermined number of times, the game processing is performed in order to shift to the normal variable winning ball processing. Set "4" as the number and save it in the game processing number area in Fig. 3.

Further, when the game processing number is "4" in step A13609, the game control device 100 executes the Fuden 3 remaining ball processing for setting the information necessary for performing the end processing per Fig. 3. (A13615). For example, in the Fuden 3 remaining ball processing, in order to shift to the end processing per Fu-Fig. 3, "5" is set as the game processing number and saved in the Fu-Fig. 3 game processing number area, and the Fu-Fig. 3 ending time 3 is saved in the game processing timer area.

Further, when the game processing number is "5" in step A13609, the game control device 100 performs the end processing per normal drawing 3 for setting information necessary for performing the normal processing (A13610) in FIG. Execute (A13616). For example, in the end processing per normal figure 3, in order to shift to the normal processing of normal figure 3, "0" is set as the game processing number and saved in the game processing number area of normal figure 3.

After that, the game control device 100 prepares a normal figure 3 fluctuation control table for controlling the fluctuation of the normal symbol by the normal figure display 53 (variation display unit 53) (A13617). After that, the symbol fluctuation control process related to the control of the fluctuation of the normal symbol by the normal symbol display 53 is executed (A1361).
8), End the game processing in Fig. 3.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 3 is not 0 (A136).
If the result of 06 is "N"), that is, if the time is not up, step A136
The processing after 17 is executed.

[Public Figure 4 Game Processing]
Subsequently, the details of the game processing (A1313d) in FIG. 4 in the timer interrupt processing will be described. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the game processing in FIG. In the normal figure 4 game process, the input of the operation 4 switch 39a is monitored, the entire process related to the normal figure 4 variable display game is controlled, and the display of the normal figure 4 is set. In addition, in the game processing of FIG. 4, the same processing as in the game processing of FIGS. 1 to 3 is performed, but the operation switches to be monitored are different.

First, the game control device 100 executes an operation 4 switch monitoring process for monitoring the input from the operation 4 switch 39a (A14601).

Subsequently, the game control device 100 executes a Fuden 4 winning switch monitoring process for monitoring the input from the operation 5 switch 39a (A14602).

In the game control device 100, when the game processing number of FIG. 4 is not 2 or more, that is, 0 or 1 (the result of A14603 is “N”), whether or not a game other than FIG. 4 is a hit. Is determined (A14604). The game control device 100 proceeds to step A14617 when the result other than the normal drawing 4 is hit (the result of A14604 is “Y”), and when the other than the normal drawing 4 is not hit (A14604). The result is "N"), and the process proceeds to step A14605.

On the other hand, when the game control device 100 has 2 or more game processing numbers in FIG. 4 (A1).
The result of 4603 is "Y"), and the process proceeds to step A14605.

Subsequently, the game control device 100 updates -1 (subtracts only 1) if the game processing timer in FIG. 4 is not 0 (A14605). The minimum value of the game processing timer in FIG. 4 is set to 0. Then, the game control device 100 determines whether or not the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 4 is 0 (A14606).

The game control device 100 processes the game in FIG. 4 when the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 4 is 0 (the result of A14606 is “Y”), that is, when the time is up or has already been up. The game sequence branch table referred to in order to branch to the process corresponding to the number is set in the register (A14607).

Further, the game control device 100 acquires the branch destination address of the process corresponding to the game process number in FIG. 4 based on the set game sequence branch table in FIG. 4 (A14608).
). Then, a subroutine call is made according to the game processing number of FIG. 4, and the game branching process corresponding to the game processing number of FIG. 4 is executed (A14609).

When the game processing number is "0" in step A14609, the game control device 100 monitors the fluctuation start of the variation display game in FIG. 4, and sets the variation start and the effect of the variation display game in FIG. Or, the normal process of Fig. 4 is executed (A14610), in which the information necessary for performing the process during the fluctuation of the normal figure 4 is set.

Further, when the game processing number is "1" in step A14609, the game control device 100 executes the normal-figure 4 variable processing for setting information necessary for performing the normal-figure 4 display-progressing processing. (A14611). For example, in the normal figure 4 changing process, in order to shift to the normal figure 4 display process, "2" is set as the game process number and saved in the normal figure 4 game process number area, and the normal figure display time is set. Figure 4 Save to the game processing timer area.

Further, in the game control device 100, when the game processing number is "2" in step A14609, if the result of the variable display game in FIG. 4 is a hit, the opening time in FIG. 4 is set or the game is hit in FIG. Set the information required to perform the intermediate processing, etc. General Figure 4 Execute the intermediate processing (A146)
12). For example, in the process during display of the normal figure 4, in order to shift to the medium process per the normal figure 4, "3" is set as the game process number and saved in the game process number area of the normal figure 4, and the normal power 4 open time Is saved in the Fuden 4 game processing timer area. On the other hand, if the result of the variable display game in Fig. 4 is out of alignment, "0" is set as the game processing number and saved in the game processing number area in Fig. 4 in order to shift to the normal processing in Fig. 4.

In addition, when the game processing number is "3" in step A14609, the game control device 100 sets the information necessary for continuing the middle processing per normal drawing 4 or performing the normal electric 4 remaining ball processing. The middle process is executed per normal drawing 4 to be performed (A14614). For example, in the medium processing per normal drawing 4, after making a setting for opening the normal variable winning device 37 (normal variable winning device 37 g) a predetermined number of times, a game process is performed in order to shift to the normal variable winning ball processing. Set "4" as the number and save it in the game processing number area of Fig. 4.

Further, when the game processing number is "4" in step A14609, the game control device 100 executes the Fuden 4 remaining ball processing for setting the information necessary for performing the end processing per Fig. 4. (A14615). For example, in the Fuden 4 remaining ball processing, in order to shift to the end processing per Fu-Fig. 4, "5" is set as the game processing number and saved in the Fu-Fig. 4 game processing number area, and the Fu-Fig. 4 ending time 4 is saved in the game processing timer area.

Further, when the game processing number is "5" in step A14609, the game control device 100 performs the end processing per normal drawing 4 for setting the information necessary for performing the normal processing (A14610) in FIG. Execute (A14616). For example, in the end processing per normal figure 4, in order to shift to the normal processing of normal figure 4, "0" is set as the game processing number and saved in the game processing number area of normal figure 4.

After that, the game control device 100 prepares a normal figure 4 fluctuation control table for controlling the fluctuation of the normal symbol by the normal figure display 53 (variation display unit 53) (A14617). After that, the symbol fluctuation control process related to the control of the fluctuation of the normal symbol by the normal symbol display 53 is executed (A1461).
8), End the game processing in Fig. 4.

On the other hand, in the game control device 100, when the value of the game processing timer in FIG. 4 is not 0 (A146).
If the result of 06 is "N"), that is, if the time is not up, step A146
The processing after 17 is executed.

[Examples of timing charts when executing a variable display game (No. 1)]
FIG. 31A is an example of a timing chart (No. 1) when the game control device 100 executes the fluctuation display game of FIGS. 1 to 4.

Based on the normal figure 1 start memory (normal figure 1 hold) that is stored when the game ball passes through the normal figure start gate 34 or enters (or wins) the normal figure start port 34b at time t1 in FIG. 31A. Then, the game control device 100 executes the normal-figure 1 variable display game (general-figure 1). When the normal figure 1 variable display game is executed, the number of normal figure 1 hold is decremented by 1 (-1 update), and the normal figure 1 hold related to the running normal figure 1 variable display game is being held (pending). Digestion 1 (erasure 1)). afterwards,
Normal Figure 1 The variable display game is stopped and becomes a hit.

At time t2 after the variable display game is stopped, the game control device 100 is set to the movable member 37b (Public 1) of the normal variable winning device 37d based on the hold (disappearing 1) during digestion. )
To the open state (open). When the Fuden 1 is opened, the game area 3 can be hit right.
The game ball flowing down on the right side of 2 can win a prize in the normal variable winning device 37d.

Then, the game control device 100 stores the normal drawing 2 start memory (normal drawing 2 hold) every time the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37d. At time t2, the Fuden 1 is released, and for example, when four game balls win the normal variable winning device 37d, four Fuden 2 hold is stored (4 hold). It should be noted that, in the case of the normal power 1, the elapse of the normal power 1 opening time (for example, 5500 msec (normal power 1 open time 1) or 1900 msec (normal power 1 open time 2)) or the number of normal power 1 counts is the upper limit value (for example, 4) or more. By becoming, it switches from the open state to the closed state (closed).

When the normal power 1 is switched from the open state to the closed state, the game control device 100 is the oldest of the four stored normal figure 2 start memories (normal figure 2 hold (normal figure 2 hold 1 to 4)). Based on the hold (Public Figure 2 Hold 1 (Take 1)), the Practical Figure 2 variable display game (Public Figure 2) is executed. By executing the normal figure 2 variable display game, the normal figure 2 hold number is decremented by 1 (-1 update), and the normal figure 2 hold number becomes 3. After that, the normal figure 2 variable display game is stopped and becomes a hit.

Then, the time t after the normal figure 2 variable display game based on the normal figure 2 hold 1 (maintenance 1) is stopped.
In 3, the game control device 100 switches the movable member 37b (Public electric power 2) of the normal variable winning device 37e to the open state (open). When the Fuden 2 is opened, the flowing game ball can win the normal variable winning device 37e.

Then, the game control device 100 stores the normal drawing 3 start memory (normal drawing 3 hold) every time the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37e. At time t3, the Fuden 2 is released, and for example, when four game balls win the normal variable winning device 37e, four Fuden 3 holds are stored (4 holds). The Fuden 2 is switched from the open state to the closed state (closed) when the Fuden 2 opening time (for example, 5500 msec) elapses or when the Fuden 2 count number becomes the upper limit value (for example, 4) or more.

When the normal power 2 is switched from the open state to the closed state, the game control device 100 is the oldest of the four stored normal figure 3 start memories (normal figure 3 hold (normal figure 3 hold 1 to 4)). Based on the hold (Public Figure 3 Hold 1 (Take 1)), the Plump 3 variable display game (Public Figure 3) is executed. By executing the normal figure 3 variable display game, the normal figure 3 hold number is decremented by 1 (-1 update), and the normal figure 3 hold number becomes 3. After that, the normal figure 3 variable display game is stopped and becomes a hit.

Then, the time t after the normal figure 3 variable display game based on the normal figure 3 hold 1 (maintenance 1) is stopped.
In step 4, the game control device 100 switches the movable member 37b (Public train 3) of the normal variable winning device 37f to the open state (open). When the Fuden 3 is opened, the flowing game ball can win the normal variable winning device 37f.

Then, the game control device 100 stores the normal drawing 4 start memory (normal drawing 4 hold) every time the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37f. At time t4, the Fuden 3 is released, and for example, when four game balls win the normal variable winning device 37f, four Fuden 4 holds are stored (4 holds). The Fuden 3 is switched from the open state to the closed state (closed) when the Fuden 3 opening time (for example, 5500 msec) elapses or the number of Fuden 3 counts reaches the upper limit value (for example, 6) or more.

When the normal power 3 is switched from the open state to the closed state, the game control device 100 is the oldest of the four stored normal figure 4 start memories (normal figure 4 hold (normal figure 4 hold 1 to 4)). Based on the hold (Public Figure 4 Hold 1 (Take 1)), the Plump 4 variable display game (Public Figure 4) is executed. By executing the normal figure 4 variable display game, the normal figure 4 hold number is decremented by 1 (-1 update), and the normal figure 4 hold number becomes 3. After that, the normal figure 4 variable display game is stopped and becomes a hit.

Then, the time t after the normal figure 4 variable display game based on the normal figure 4 hold 1 (maintenance 1) is stopped.
At 5a, the game control device 100 switches the movable member 37b (Public train 4) of the normal variable winning device 37g to the open state (open). When the Fuden 4 is opened, the flowing game ball can win the normal variable winning device 37g.

Then, the Fuden 4 switches from the open state to the closed state (closed) when the Fuden 4 opening time (for example, 5500 msec) elapses or when the Fuden 4 count number becomes the upper limit value (for example, 6) or more. When the normal power 4 is switched to the closed state, the game control device 100 is the oldest hold among the remaining three normal figure 4 start memories (normal figure 4 hold 2 to 4) (normal figure 4 hold 2 (hold 2)). Based on the above, the normal figure 4 variable display game (normal figure 4) is executed, and then the normal figure 4 variable display game is stopped and becomes a hit.

It should be noted that the numbers 2 to 4 held in Fig. 4 are moved up one by one when the number 1 held in Fig. 4 is digested. However, in the explanation of the timing chart below, which of the numbers held in Fig. 4 is being digested. The explanation will be made by omitting the +1 advance of the ranking so that it is easy to understand if there is one. Further, the +1 advancement of the ranks of the numbers 2 to 4 held in Fig. 2 and the numbers 2 to 4 held in Fig. 3 will be similarly omitted.

Next, the time t5 after the normal figure 4 variable display game based on the normal figure 4 hold 2 (maintenance 2) is stopped.
At b, the game control device 100 switches the movable member 37b (Public train 4) of the normal variable winning device 37g to the open state (open). That is, the Fuden 4 is opened for the second time.

After that, similarly, when the opening time of the Fuden 4 elapses or the upper limit of the number of Fuden 4 counts is reached, the Fuden 4 is switched from the open state to the closed state. When the Fuden 4 is switched to the closed state, the game control device 100 holds the oldest of the remaining two Fuzu 4 start memories (Public Fig. 4 Holds 3 and 4).
Based on the normal figure 4 hold 3 (main 3)), the normal figure 4 variable display game (normal figure 4) is executed, and then the normal figure 4 variable display game is stopped and becomes a hit.

Then, the time t after the normal figure 4 variable display game based on the normal figure 4 hold 3 (maintenance 3) is stopped.
At 5c, the game control device 100 switches the movable member 37b (Public train 4) of the normal variable winning device 37g to the open state (open). That is, the Fuden 4 is opened for the third time.

After that, similarly, when the opening time of the Fuden 4 elapses or the upper limit of the number of Fuden 4 counts is reached, the Fuden 4 is switched from the open state to the closed state. When the normal power 4 is switched to the closed state, the game control device 100 is based on the remaining normal figure 4 start memory (normal figure 4 hold 4 (main figure 4)), and the normal figure 4 variable display game (normal figure 4). After that, the variable display game of FIG. 4 is stopped and becomes a hit. When the normal figure 4 variable display game based on the normal figure 4 hold 4 is executed, all the normal figure 4 start memory numbers (the normal figure 4 hold number) are digested and become 0.

Then, the time t after the normal figure 4 variable display game based on the normal figure 4 hold 4 (maintenance 4) is stopped.
At 5d, the game control device 100 switches the movable member 37b (Public train 4) of the normal variable winning device 37g to the open state (open). That is, the Fuden 4 is opened for the fourth time. In this way, even in a state where there is a start memory number in FIG. 2 and a start memory number in FIG. 3 (for example, 3 each), the game control device 100
Executes Fu-Fig. 4 with priority over Fu-Fig. 2 and 3 (priority change). Also, as will be described later,
Even in a state where there is a start memory number (for example, 3), the game control device 100 executes the normal drawing 3 with priority over the normal drawing 2 (priority variation). In addition, when there is a memory number for starting in FIG. 1 (in the case of two consecutive villas or more), the game control device 100 can similarly execute the general drawings 2 to 4 in preference to the normal drawing 1.

After that, similarly, when the opening time of the Fuden 4 elapses or the upper limit of the number of Fuden 4 counts is reached, the Fuden 4 is switched from the open state to the closed state. When the normal figure 4 start memory number is 0 and the normal power 4 is switched to the closed state, the game control device 100 executes the normal figure 3 variable display game based on the normal figure 3 hold 2 (maintenance 2). After that, the variable display game of FIG. 3 is stopped and becomes a hit.

Then, the time t after the normal figure 3 variable display game based on the normal figure 3 hold 2 (maintenance 2) is stopped.
At 6, the game control device 100 switches the movable member 37b (Public train 3) of the normal variable winning device 37f to the open state (open). That is, the Fuden 3 is opened for the second time.

Then, each time the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37f, the game control device 100 stores the normal drawing 4 start memory (normal drawing 4 hold (for example, 4)), and the normal electric power 3 opening time (for example, 5500).
When the elapse of msec) or the number of counts of the normal electric power 3 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 6) or more, the general electric power 3 switches from the open state to the closed state (closed).

When the normal power 3 is switched from the open state to the closed state, the game control device 100 receives the oldest hold (normal figure 4 hold 1 (hold 1)) among the stored normal figure 4 start memory (normal figure 4 hold). ), The variable display game of normal figure 4 (normal figure 4) is executed. After that, every time the normal figure 4 variable display game is executed, the normal figure 4 hold number is decremented by 1 (-1 update), and until the normal figure 4 hold number becomes 0, the change of the normal figure 4 and the normal electric 4 Is repeated with the opening of.

[Examples of timing charts when executing the variable display games 1 to 4 (Part 2)]
FIG. 31B is an example of a timing chart (No. 2) when the game control device 100 executes the fluctuation display games of FIGS. 1 to 4. In the explanation of the timing chart below, FIG. 3
The contents overlapping with 1A will be omitted as appropriate.

In FIG. 31B, an example of the timing from the time when the normal figure 3 variable display game (normal figure 3) based on the normal figure 3 hold 4 is stopped and hits will be described. It should be noted that, according to the normal figure 3 based on the normal figure 3 hold 4 executed immediately before the time t54, the number of the normal figure 3 hold is completely digested to 0.
In addition, the number of reserved figures in FIG. 2 is 1 decremented to 3 (2 to 4 reserved in FIG. 2), and the number of reserved figures in FIG. 4 is all digested and 0.

At time t54 in FIG. 31B, the Fuden 3 is released, and for example, four game balls win a prize in the normal variable winning device 37f, so that four Fuzu 4 hold (Public Fig. 4 hold 1 to 4) are stored. Will be (4 on hold).

After that, when the normal power 3 is switched from the open state to the closed state, the game control device 100 executes the normal figure 4 variation display game (normal figure 4) based on the normal figure 4 hold 1 (main figure 1), and the game control device 100 executes the game. When the normal figure 4 is hit, the normal electric train 4 is released at the subsequent time t55a.

After that, from time t55b to time t55d, as in the case of time t5b to t5d in FIG. 31A, the normal electric train 4 is opened from the closed state every time the stop result of the normal figure 4 based on the normal drawing 4 hold 2 to 4 is hit. It can be switched to the state.

Then, when the game control device 100 is switched to the closed state in the state where all the hold of the normal figure 4 is exhausted, that is, the number of hold of the normal figure 4 is 0, the game control device 100 changes the hold 2 of the normal figure 2 (hold 2). ) Is executed, and then the normal figure 2 variable display game is stopped and a hit is made.

Then, the time t after the normal figure 2 variable display game based on the normal figure 2 hold 2 (maintenance 2) is stopped.
At 32, the game control device 100 switches the movable member (Public power 2) of the normal variable winning device 37e to the open state (open). That is, the Fuden 2 is opened for the second time.

Then, each time the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37e, the game control device 100 stores the normal drawing 3 start memory (normal drawing 3 hold (for example, 4)), and the passage of the normal electric power 2 opening time or When the upper limit of the number of counts of the normal electric power 2 is reached, the normal electric power 2 is switched from the open state to the closed state (closed). When the Fuden 2 is switched to the closed state, the game control device 100 is stored in the Fuden FIG. 3 start memory (
Based on the oldest hold (Public Figure 3 Hold 1 (Hold 1)) among the Few Figure 3 Holds (Public Figure 3 Holds 1 to 4), the Plump 3 Variable Display Game (Public Figure 3) is executed, and then The normal figure 3 variable display game is stopped and becomes a hit.

Then, the time t after the normal figure 3 variable display game based on the normal figure 3 hold 1 (maintenance 1) is stopped.
At 42, the game control device 100 switches the movable member 37b (Public train 3) of the normal variable winning device 37f to the open state (open).

Then, the game control device 100 stores the normal drawing 4 start memory (normal drawing 4 hold) every time the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37f. At time t42, the Fuden 3 is released, and for example, four game balls win the normal variable winning device 37f, so that four Fuzu 4 hold (Public Fig. 4 hold 1).
~ 4) is stored (4 pending).

When the normal electric power 3 is switched from the open state to the closed state, the game control device 100 is put on hold 1 in FIG.
Based on (Protection 1), the normal figure 4 variable display game (normal figure 4) is executed, and then the normal figure 4 variable display game is stopped and becomes a hit.

Subsequently, at time t52 after the normal-figure 4 variable display game (general-figure 4) based on the normal-figure 4 hold 1 (maintenance 1) is stopped, the game control device 100 is set to the movable member 37b of the normal variable winning device 37g. (
Switch the Fuden 4) to the open state (open). After that, after the Fuden 4 was switched to the closed state,
In the same manner thereafter, the Fuden 4 is switched to the open state each time the Fu-Fig. 4 variable display game based on the Fu-Fig. 4 Hold 2-4 (Ho 2-4) is executed, and the flowing game ball is a normal variable winning device. It is possible to win a prize in 37g.

In this way, in the normal figure 2 variable display game (normal figure 2) based on one normal figure 2 hold, the normal figure 3 hold is stored up to the upper limit value (for example, 4), and based on the stored normal figure 3 hold. The normal figure 3 variable display game (normal figure 3) can be executed a plurality of times (up to the upper limit value of the normal figure 3 hold). Similarly, in the normal figure 4 variable display game (normal figure 4), the normal figure 4 hold is stored up to the upper limit value (for example, 6) by the normal figure 3 variable display game based on one normal figure 3 hold. , Can be executed multiple times (up to the upper limit of hold in Fig. 4). That is, by executing the normal drawing 2 once, the normal drawing 3 is executed up to 4 times (1 × 4), and the normal drawing 4 is executed up to 24 times (1 × 4 × 6). In addition, by executing the normal figure 1 once, the normal figure 2 is a maximum of 4 times (1 × 4), and the normal figure 3 is a maximum of 1.
It can be executed 6 times (1 × 4 × 4) and the normal figure 4 can be executed up to 96 times (1 × 4 × 4 × 6).

After that, similarly, a plurality of normal figures 3 are stored by executing the normal figure 2 based on the normal figure 2 hold 3 and 4, and a plurality of normal figures are stored by executing the normal figure 3 based on the normal figure 3 hold. 4 Hold is stored and FIG. 4 is executed. Then, by digesting all the normal map reservations (normal figure 1 to 4 hold), a series of processes, that is, the execution of the normal figures 1 to 4 and the normal power of the normal figures 1 to 4 when the normal figure is hit Opening ends.

[Examples of modification of timing chart when executing variable display games 1 to 4]
FIG. 32 is a modified example of the timing chart when the game control device 100 executes the fluctuation display games of FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the above description, the game control device 100 is configured to execute the next normal map variation display game (normal figures 1 to 4) after each normal electric (normal electrics 1 to 4) is switched from the open state to the closed state. Was there. However, as in the modified example of the timing chart shown in FIG. 33, the game control device 10
0 is based on the normal map start memory when the next normal map start memory (holding of normal figures 2 to 4) occurs while the previous normal power (Public trains 1 to 3) is open. Memory fluctuation display game (Public map 2-4)
May be executed.

That is, when any of the commands 1 to 3 open is prepared (when the previous command is open), the game control device 100 is + by the operation 1 to 3 switches common processing.
1 The next normal figure fluctuation display game (normal figure 2 to 4) can be started in response to the updated normal figure 2 to 4 hold.

Specifically, as shown at time t1 in FIG. 32, the start memory of the normal figure 1 (hold the normal figure 1 and digestion 1 ()
When the normal figure 1 variable display game (normal figure 1) is executed based on the erase 1)), and then the normal figure 1 is stopped and hits, the normal variable winning device 37d is executed at the subsequent time t2. The movable member 37b) of the above is opened, and the game ball can be won in the normal variable winning device 37d.

Then, at time t2a, when the game ball wins the normal variable prize device 37d while the normal electric train 1 is open, the normal variable display game immediately based on the normal variable starting memory generated by the winning (the normal variable display game (
Figure 2) is started. Therefore, the start memory of the normal figure 2 corresponding to the started normal figure 2 is held (erased 1) during digestion, so that the upper limit value (for example, 4) of the number of the normal figure 2 hold (the number of the start memory of the normal figure 2) is reached. It is possible to newly accumulate the start memory of Fig. 2 from 0. Therefore, in this modification, in addition to the hold updated by +1 up to the upper limit value, FIG. 2 can be executed one more time based on the hold during digestion (for example, 1 digest + 4 hold). ). It should be noted that the normal electric train 1 corresponds to the normal power of the previous stage (previous stage), and the normal figure 2 start memory corresponds to the normal figure start memory of the next stage (next stage).

Further, when the Fuden 2 is opened at time t3, the game ball can be won in the normal variable winning device 37e. Then, when the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37e, the normal variable display game (normal figure 3) is immediately started based on the normal variable drawing 3 start memory generated by the winning. Therefore, similarly, the start memory of the normal figure 3 corresponding to the started normal figure 3 is on hold during digestion (erasure 1).
), Therefore, it is possible to newly store the start memory of FIG. 3 from 0 to the upper limit value (for example, 4) (for example, 1 digestion + 4 hold). The Fuden 2 corresponds to the Fuden in the previous stage, and the Fuzu 3 start memory corresponds to the Fuzu start memory in the next stage.

Subsequently, when the Fuden 3 is opened at time t4, the game ball can be won in the normal variable winning device 37f. Then, as soon as the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37f, the normal variable display game (normal figure 4) is started immediately, and the normal variable drawing 4 start memory corresponding to the started normal figure 4 is exhausted. Since the hold (erasure 1) is set to the middle, the start memory of the normal figure 4 (hold of the normal figure 4) can be newly stored from 0 to the upper limit value (for example, 6). In the modified example of FIG. 32, FIGS. 31A and 3A.
Similar to the example of 1B, when the number of memory for starting in Fig. 4 (the number of holdings in Fig. 4) is accumulated up to 4 before reaching the upper limit, the opening time of Fuden 4 (for example, 5500 msec) is completed (1 digestion). + 4 on hold). Further, the Fuden 3 corresponds to the Fuden in the previous stage, and the Fuzu 4 start memory corresponds to the Fuzu start memory in the next stage.

Then, at time t5a after the normal figure 4 started based on the hold (extinguishing 1) during digestion and stopped in the hit state, the normal electric 4 is switched to the open state. Here, the normal figure start memory when the normal electric power 4 is opened is the normal figure start memory of the same stage (same stage) as the normal electric power 4, and the normal figure start memory of the next stage as described above. Does not correspond to. Therefore, the game control device 100 waits until the normal electric power 4 is changed from the open state to the closed state, and after the normal electric power 4 is switched to the closed state, the normal drawing 4 start memory (normal drawing 4 hold 1).
(Protection 1))) is executed. Therefore, the fluctuation of the normal diagram 4 and the opening of the normal electric train 4 are performed alternately without overlapping.

After that, from time t5b to time t5e, the fluctuation of the normal figure 4 based on the normal figure 4 hold 1 to 4 (holds 1 to 4) and the opening of the normal figure 4 are alternately repeated, and the number of the normal figure 4 hold (normal). When all of the start memory (FIG. 4) is digested, FIG. 3 is executed based on the hold 1 (hold 1) of FIG. It should be noted that the holding of the normal drawing 3 (holding 1, the memory of starting the normal drawing 3) corresponds to the memory of starting the normal drawing in the previous stage of the normal drawing 4, but as shown at the time t5e in FIG. 32, the normal drawing 4 is in the closed state. The fluctuation may start immediately without waiting for the switch.

Then, the time t6 after the normal figure 3 variable display game based on the normal figure 3 hold 1 (maintenance 1) is stopped.
After that, Fuden 3 was released, and after that, based on the hold during digestion and the hold in Fu Figure 4 (1 digestion +)
(Hold n), the fluctuation of the normal figure 4 and the opening of the normal electric train 4 are repeated. In addition, a series of processes, that is, execution of Fuzu 1 to 4 and release of Fuden 1 to 4 when the Fuzu hits, are performed until all the Fuzu reservations (Fuzu 1 to 4 hold) are exhausted. And are repeated.

[Game board of the second modified example]
The game board 30 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, and may be configured as shown in FIG. 33. FIG. 33 is a front view of the game board 30 of the second modified example.

In the game board 30 of the second modification, three normal symbol start gates 34 and a normal symbol start port 34b are provided in series (in a row) in a vertical direction (flow direction of the game ball) slightly below the center of the game area 32. Has been done. Inside the three normal figure start gates 34 and the normal figure start port 34b, operations 1a to 1n for detecting a game ball that has passed through the normal figure start gate 34 or has entered the normal figure start port 34b.
A switch 34a (gate switch, see FIG. 3) is provided. Game board 3 of the second modification
Similarly, at 0, when the game ball driven into the game area 32 passes through the normal figure start gate 34 or enters the normal figure start port 34b, the normal figure 1 variable display game is executed.

Further, the game control device 100 of the second modification can also generate the predetermined game state again after the predetermined game state is completed based on the start memory of the normal figure 1 (hold in the normal figure 1) (the continuous villa in the predetermined game state). ).

Here, in the game board 30 of the second modification, as shown in FIG. 33, the three normal drawing start gates 3
Since 4 and the normal figure start port 34b are arranged vertically, it is easy for one game ball to pass through or enter the ball, and four normal figure 1 start memories (normal figure 1 hold) are stored once. It is possible to repeat the predetermined game state four times (4 consecutive villas).

It should be noted that the plurality of normal figure starting gates 34 and the normal figure starting port 34b described above need only be provided so that one game ball can pass continuously, and are not configured to be vertically arranged in a row. May be good. Further, in the above embodiment, the configuration in which the normal figure start gate 34 and the normal figure start port 34b are arranged side by side has been described. For example, in the game machine 10 capable of executing the special figure variation display game, the special figure start gate and the special figure start port are described. And may be configured to be lined up, or may be configured so that another gate and another starting port are lined up. Further, the normal drawing start gate 34 and the normal drawing start port 34b may be configured so that the other gate and the other start port are arranged side by side.

[Fixed example start gate]
Further, the normal drawing start gate 34 is not limited to the configuration provided in series as in FIG. 2A described above.
It may be provided as shown in FIG. FIG. 34 is a perspective view of the normal drawing start gate 34 of the modified example.

In the modified example of the normal drawing start gate 34, a three-stage croon in which multi-stage (for example, three-stage (first-stage, second-stage, third-stage)) croons are lined up vertically (in the flow direction of the game ball) in series (one row). It is composed like a shape.
The Kroon is, for example, a dish-shaped member on which a game ball can roll.

Each Kroon is provided with, for example, a normal drawing start gate 34 that allows the game ball to pass downward, and two out ports 30b for collecting the game ball. In each Kroon, two or more starting gates 34 may be provided, and one or three or more out ports 30b may be provided. Further, the number of stages of Kroon is not limited to three, and may be increased or decreased to two or less or four or more.

The game ball can flow down to the second stage Kroon by passing through the first stage Kroon's normal figure start gate 34, and by passing through the second stage Kroon's normal figure start gate 34, the third stage Kroon Can flow down to.

On the other hand, when the game ball enters the out port 30b provided in each stage of Kroon,
It will be collected as it is. Therefore, one game ball can pass through the normal drawing start gate 34 up to three times, and the player can raise the expectation for hitting, so that the interest of the game can be enhanced.

The game ball that has passed through the normal drawing start gate 34 of the third stage Kroon may flow downward, or may be collected as it is at the exit of the normal drawing start gate 34. When the game is collected as it is at the exit, the third-stage gate functions as a normal starting port 34b for the game ball to enter. On the other hand, when the game ball flows downward, the game ball is provided at the normal figure start port 34b of the third stage Kroon by providing a normal figure start port 34b (not shown) below the normal figure start gate 34. You can also enter the ball.

Further, instead of providing an out port 30b for collecting the game ball in each croon, an opportunity (chance) for the game ball to enter the normal drawing start gate 34 of each stage by providing a through hole through which the game ball can pass downward. ) May be increased. By providing the passage port in this way, for example, even if the game ball cannot pass through the normal drawing start gate 34 in the first stage croon, it can pass through the normal drawing start gate 34 in the second and third stage croons. Since the chances continue, it is possible to fuel the expectations of the player and improve the interest of the game.

In addition, instead of the third-stage Kroon, a display device for displaying the Kroon on the display screen is provided, and the decoration random number 1 generated when passing through the second-stage Kroon start gate 34 is used to change the decoration. The effect of the display game may be performed on the display screen. For example, when the ornamental figure variation display game is a hit, it is possible to perform a flashy effect in which the game ball enters the croon on the display screen.

Further, a through hole may be provided instead of the first and second-stage normal drawing start gates 34 so that the normal drawing 1 start memory is generated only when the third-stage normal drawing start gate 34 is passed.

The game control device 100 is provided with terminals for connecting to each configuration or an external device in the game machine. Specifically, the operation 1a switch connector 511 is placed on the upper part of the board box in order from the left.
, Operation 1b switch connector 512, batch display connector 513, production connector 514
, And various switch connectors 515 including actuation 2-5 switches 39a. Further, an inspection terminal connector 516 is provided on the lower left side, and an information output connector 517 and a power supply connector 518 are provided on the lower right side.

Explaining each terminal, the operation 1a switch connector 511 is the operation 1a switch 34.
Connected to a, the actuated 1b switch connector 512 is connected to actuated 1b switch 34b.
A signal is input when a game ball wins a prize at the normal drawing start gate 34.

The batch display connector 513 is connected to the batch display device 50 via the connection wiring 501. The batch display connector 513 is composed of two rows and 12 pins. Further, the batch display connector 513 is sandwiched between other connectors, that is, is arranged inside the other connectors. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility of damage / poor connection factors such as hitting the game ball when installing on the island facility, and various displays are not displayed on the batch display device 50, so that the progress of the game can be grasped. It is possible to prevent the inconvenience that cannot be achieved.

[Around the connector of the game control device of the second embodiment]
Next, the configuration around the connector (particularly the operation 1b switch connector 512) of the game control device 100 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 36A to 36C.

FIG. 36A is an enlarged front view of a part of the game control device 100 of the second embodiment. Figure 3
6B is a pattern enlarged view (back side) of the pattern (circuit, wiring) around the operation 1b switch connector 512 of the game control device 100 of the second embodiment as viewed from the back side, and FIG. 36C is the operation 1b switch connector. It is an enlarged view which enlarged the circumference of 512.

As shown in FIG. 36A, various patterns of wiring or circuits (for example, patterns 531 to 534) are formed on the game control board of the game control device 100 of the second embodiment. In addition, it should be noted
The game control board is, for example, a general double-sided printed circuit board (double-sided board).

Then, for example, the pattern 531 has a through hole (via hole) 5 as shown in FIG. 36B.
Back surface pattern 53 that is electrically connected (conducting) to the back surface of the game control board via 31a.
It is formed as 1b and is connected to one side of the 2-pin connector pin 512b of the operation 1b switch connector 512 from the back surface. In FIG. 36B, the back surface pattern (second pattern) formed on the back surface of the game control board including the back surface pattern 531b is shown by a solid line, and the pattern (first pattern) formed on the front surface of the game control board is indicated by a broken line. Shown. Further, here, the surface of the game control board is the surface on the side provided with the connector such as the operation 1b switch connector 512 (first surface).
The back surface is the surface (second surface) on the side not provided with the connector.

Further, the connector pin 512b is fixed to the connector main body 512a and protrudes from the surface of the game control board through the through hole. One side surface of the connector body 512a is formed in a shape different from that of the other surface (for example, a concave shape) so that the orientations can be matched when the corresponding connector is inserted. Further, the connector main body of each connector of the game control board is formed in a shape different from that of the connector main body of other connectors (for example, a different length or a concave shape) so as to be consistent with the corresponding connector. As a result, it is possible to prevent the wrong connector from being inserted into the connector body.

The lid member 550 is formed with an opening 550b that exposes the actuating 1b switch connector 512 to the outside of the lid member 550. The opening 550b is formed in a rectangular shape that follows the shape of the connector body 512 of the operation 1b switch connector 512. A gap (gap portion) of a distance D1 or a distance D2 is generated between the lid member 550 and the connector body 512a of the operation 1b switch connector 512.

Here, since the pattern 531 is connected to one side of the connector pin 512b from the back surface pattern 531b formed on the back surface of the game control board as described above, the operation 1b switch connector 512 on the front surface of the game control board is surrounded. Not formed. Further, various patterns other than the pattern 531 (patterns of the game control board including patterns 532 to 534 and the like) are not formed around the operation 1b switch connector 512 on the surface of the game control board.

Therefore, even if an attempt is made to electrically connect various patterns of the game control board including the pattern 531 from the surface of the game control board through the opening 550b, these patterns are formed around the operation 1b switch connector 512. Since it is formed on the back surface of the game control board, it is not possible to make an electrical connection. As a result, the operation 1b switch connector 512
Since unauthorized access from the surroundings can be effectively prevented, the quality of the game machine 10 can be improved. Further, since the opening 550b is formed in a rectangular shape, it becomes easy to tolerate a dimensional error of the opening 550b with respect to the operation 1b switch connector 512, and it can be manufactured at low cost, so that productivity (throughput) can be improved. ..

Further, as shown in FIG. 36A, the outer peripheral portion of the through hole 531a and the opening 550b (lid member 550).
The distance L1 from (the edge around the opening 550b) is the distance D1 or the distance D2 between the connector main body 512a of the operation 1b switch connector 512 and the outer peripheral portion (edge of the lid member 550) of the opening 550b.
That is all. Further, the pattern 531 is provided at a position (a position where it does not overlap) that does not pass through the gaps formed at intervals of a distance D1 (partly a distance D2).

Here, the distance L1 is the distance of the closest portion between the through hole 531a and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b.

Further, the distance D1 is a normal gap (allowable space in design, for example, 2 mm) between the connector main body 512a and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b, and the distance D2 is the distance between the connector main body 512a and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b. The distance of the most distant portions between them (for example, 5 mm).

Therefore, since the distance L1 is equal to or greater than the distance D1 or the distance D2, even if an attempt is made to electrically connect the opening 550b to the through hole 531a or the pattern 531, the opening 550b
It is difficult to access because the distance to the outer circumference of the is long. As a result, fraud can be effectively prevented and the quality of the game machine 10 can be improved.

The relationship between the closest distance L1 between the through hole 531a and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b and the distances D1 and D2 has been described, but the closest distance between the through hole 531a and the connector body 512a is described. , The distances D1 and D2 can be the same. That is, the closest distance between the through hole 531a and the connector main body 512a is the distance D1 or the distance D2 or more. Even with such a relationship, the through hole 5 is formed through the opening 550b.
Even if you try to make an electrical connection to 31a or pattern 531 but the connector body 512a
Since the distance to is long and it becomes difficult to access, fraud can be effectively prevented and the quality of the game machine 10 can be improved.

Further, the pattern 531 and the through hole 531a are provided at positions that do not pass through the gap formed between the connector main body 512a and the outer peripheral portion (edge portion of the lid member 550) of the opening 550b (in other words, in the opening 550b). Is not placed but is covered by the lid member 550), and similarly, it becomes difficult to access the through hole 531a and the pattern 531 when trying to make an electrical connection, so fraud is effective. This can be prevented and the quality of the game machine 10 can be improved.

Further, the through hole 531a is formed at a position overlapping the side wall portion 550a of the lid member 550. The side wall portion 550a is a part of a surface forming a side surface of the lid member 550, and is a surface that stands up and extends at an angle (for example, vertically) in a direction away from the game control board. The connector such as the operation 1b switch connector 512 is formed on the outside of the side wall portion 550a so that the gap formed between the connector and the lid member 550a is small and the corresponding connector can be easily inserted. The through hole 531a is operated more than the side wall portion 550a. 1b switch connector 512
It may be formed at a position away from.

The same configuration as described above can be applied to the configurations around the connector other than the operation 1b switch connector 512. Further, also in the following modified example, the same configuration as described above can be applied to the configurations around the connector other than the operation 1b switch connector 512.

[Around the connector of the game control device of the modified example of the second embodiment]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 37A and 37B, the game control device 10 of the modified example of the second embodiment.
The configuration around the 0 connector (particularly the operation 1b switch connector 512) will be described.

FIG. 37A is an enlarged front view of a part of the game control device 100 of the modified example of the second embodiment. FIG. 37B is an enlarged view of the periphery of the operation 1b switch connector 512 of the game control device 100 of the modified example of the second embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 37A, also in the game control board of the game control device 100 of the modified example of the second embodiment, various patterns (for example, patterns 531 to 534, etc.) and connectors (particularly operation 1)
The b switch connector 512) is formed in the same manner as the game control board of the second embodiment described above in FIG. 36A.

On the other hand, the opening 550b of the lid member 550 is the connector body 512 as shown in FIG. 37B.
The gap (gap portion) between a and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b (the edge portion around the opening 550b of the lid member 550) is formed in a concave shape so as to have a substantially uniform distance D1 (for example, 2 mm). That is, the opening 550b is formed in a concave shape so as to more accurately follow the shape of the connector main body 512 of the operation 1b switch connector 512. Therefore, in the lid member 550 of the modified example, a constant distance D1 is maintained over the entire circumference between the connector main body 512a and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b. The distance D1 is a relatively narrow distance as compared with the distance D2.

Therefore, in the game control board of the game control device 100 of the modified example, the connector main body 512a
Even if an attempt is made to electrically connect the through hole 531a and the pattern 531 from the gap (gap portion) formed between the opening 550b and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b, there is no region where the gap is widened. There is less room for inserting members to attempt unauthorized access. As a result, fraud can be effectively prevented and the quality of the game machine 10 can be improved.

[Action / effect of the second embodiment]
The game machine 10 according to the present embodiment includes a control device (game control device 100) that controls a game (general map variation display game, general map), and when the result of the game is a predetermined result (hit). In the game machine 10 capable of generating a predetermined gaming state advantageous to the player, the control device is a connector to which a wiring side connector of wiring that can be electrically connected to the outside of the control device is connected (for example, an operation 1b switch connector). 512) and a cover member (lid member 550) for covering the control device, the cover member has an opening 550b for exposing the connector, and the opening 550b is
The shape follows the shape of the connector.

According to such a game machine 10, even if an attempt is made to electrically connect the through hole 531a and the pattern 531 from the gap (gap portion) formed between the connector main body 512a and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b. Since there is no region where a constant distance D1 is maintained over the entire circumference and the interval is widened, there is less room for inserting a member in order to attempt unauthorized access. As a result, fraud can be effectively prevented and the quality of the game machine 10 can be improved.

Further, in the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the control device (game control device 100) is electrically connected to a connector (for example, operation 1b switch connector 512) in a pattern (for example, for example).
The pattern 531) is further provided, and the pattern is a gap (gap, design allowance) formed between the connector and the opening 550b on the side surface (surface, first surface) of the control device provided with the connector. Do not pass through spaces (eg 2 mm).

According to such a game machine 10, since the pattern (for example, pattern 531 etc.) does not pass through the gap formed between the connector and the opening 550b, electricity is applied to the through hole 531a and the pattern 531. It becomes difficult to access when trying to make a proper connection, fraud can be effectively prevented, and the quality of the game machine 10 can be improved.

Further, in the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a pattern (for example, pattern 531) that is electrically connected to a connector (for example, operation 1b switch connector 512) and a cover member (for example, a cover member that covers the control device (game control device 100)) The lid member 550) is provided. The cover member has an opening 550b that exposes the connector. The opening 550b is formed in a rectangular shape. The pattern does not pass through the gap formed between the connector and the opening 550b on the side surface (surface, first surface) of the control device that includes the connector.

According to such a game machine 10, since the pattern does not pass through the gap on the surface provided with the connector of the control device, it is not possible to make an electrical connection and unauthorized access is effectively prevented. be able to. Further, since the opening 550b is formed in a rectangular shape, it becomes possible to tolerate a fitting error when connecting the connector, so that it can be manufactured at low cost and the productivity (throughput) can be improved. ..

In the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a pattern (for example, 531) that is electrically connected to another electronic component or connector (for example, operation 1b switch connector 512) provided in the control device (game control device 100) and the said A through hole 531a for conducting a pattern between a surface (front surface, first surface) of the control device provided with a connector and another surface (back surface, second surface), and a cover member (lid member 550) for covering the control device. ) And. The cover member has an opening 550b that exposes the connector. The distance L1 between the through hole 531a and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b (the peripheral edge of the lid member 550 around the opening 550b) is the distance D1 between the connector and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 550b.
And the distance is D2 or more.

According to such a game machine 10, since the distance L1 is equal to or greater than the distance D1 or the distance D2, the distance is far even if an attempt is made to electrically connect the opening 550b to the through hole 531a or the pattern 531. It becomes difficult to access. As a result, fraud can be effectively prevented and the quality of the game machine 10 can be improved.

Further, in the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the cover member (lid member 550) is a control device (
The side wall portion 550a extending at an angle (for example, vertically) in the direction of standing up from the surface (surface, first surface) of the game control device 100) provided with the connector (direction away from the game control board of the game control device 100). Has. The through hole 531a formed at the position closest to the connector (for example, the operation 1b switch connector 512) among the through holes is formed at a position overlapping the side wall portion 550a or a position farther from the connector than the side wall portion 550a.

According to such a game machine 10, the through hole 531a is formed at a position overlapping the side wall portion 550a of the lid member 550 or at a position farther from the connector than the side wall portion 550a, so that the access becomes farther. It becomes difficult to do so, fraud can be effectively prevented, and the quality of the game machine 10 can be improved. Further, since the side wall portion 550a stands at an angle in the direction away from the game control board, even if a hole is illegally made in the side wall portion 550a, the through hole 531a or the pattern 531 is not arranged directly under the hole. Since access becomes difficult, fraud can be effectively prevented.
