The recess 41b extends to the left and right, and is pulled out from a position closer to the rear in the center in the front-rear direction toward the front end side. The recess 41b makes the volume of the curtain plate internal space 40a formed by the curtain plate front member 42 and the curtain plate rear member 43 as large as possible.

The curtain plate front member 42 is formed in a horizontally long rectangular parallelepiped shape in which the length in the left-right direction extends to the same length as the outer frame lower member 41 and the depth in the front-rear direction is short with respect to the height. The entire rear side is open. The curtain plate front member 42 is closed on the open rear side by the curtain plate rear member 43, so that the curtain plate front member 42 becomes a part of the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 in cooperation with the curtain plate rear member 43. The space 40a is formed. The curtain plate front member 42 includes an elongated hole-shaped opening 42a that penetrates back and forth and extends left and right on the front surface near the right end.

The curtain plate rear member 43 has a length in the left-right direction slightly shorter than that of the outer frame lower member 41, and is formed in a box shape with an open front. By attaching the curtain plate front member 42 to the front surface of the curtain plate rear member 43, the curtain plate front member 42 cooperates with the curtain plate front member 42 to form a curtain plate internal space 40a that becomes a part of the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622. The curtain plate rear member 43 has a tubular connecting cylinder portion 43a that extends left and right and projects upward at the central portion in the left-right direction on the upper surface and communicates with the curtain plate internal space 40a. The upper end of the connecting cylinder portion 43a is inclined so as to be positioned upward from the front end side, which coincides with the general upper surface of the curtain plate rear member 43, toward the rear. In the present embodiment, the upper end of the connecting cylinder portion 43a is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees.

The length of the connecting cylinder portion 43a in the left-right direction is formed to be about 1/3 of the length of the entire curtain plate rear member 43, and the depth in the front-rear direction is greater than the depth of the entire curtain plate rear member 43. Is also formed slightly shorter. A plurality of ribs 43b connecting the front end side and the rear end side are provided in the connecting cylinder portion 43a. When the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the connection portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 of the speaker unit 620 of the board unit 620 in the main body frame 4 is connected to the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43a. It communicates with the internal space of the 620a and forms the enclosure 624.

The ball biting prevention mechanism 44 is such that the game ball B stays at the portion of the outer frame lower hinge member 60 at the left end on the upper surface of the curtain plate rear member 43, so that the game ball B is between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4. This is to prevent the pinching.

The ball biting prevention mechanism 44 is formed at the left end on the upper surface of the curtain plate rear member 43, and has a mounting portion 44a formed flat so that the hinge member 60 under the outer frame, which will be described later, stands out, and a mounting portion. The first discharge port 44b that opens upward at the left end of 44a and the second discharge port 44c that opens upward to the right of the first discharge port 44b in the mounting portion 44a are mounted. A vertical wall portion 44d extending upward from the rear side and the right side of the placement portion 44a, and an upper end protrusion protruding forward from the upper end of the vertical wall portion 44d and being inclined so that the upper surface is positioned upward as the upper surface is directed backward. A part 44e and a part 44e are provided.

The first discharge port 44b is formed at a position corresponding to the discharge hole 60d of the outer frame lower hinge member 60, which will be described later. The first discharge port 44b and the second discharge port 44c are formed in a size that allows the game ball B to pass through. The first discharge port 44b and the second discharge port 44c do not communicate with the curtain plate internal space 40a and are open to the rear surface of the curtain plate rear member 43. Therefore, the game ball B that has entered the first discharge port 44b and the second discharge port 44c can be discharged to the rear of the curtain plate rear member 43.

The ball biting prevention mechanism 44 is a case where an illegal tool such as a piano wire is inserted through the gap between the outer frame lower hinge member 60 and the main body frame lower hinge assembly 520 described later. The vertical wall portion 44d rising from the rear end of the mounting portion 44a can prevent an unauthorized tool from entering. Even if the tip of an illegal tool comes into contact with the standing wall portion 44d and bends upward, it comes into contact with the forward protruding upper end protruding portion 44e provided at the upper end of the standing wall portion 44d, and further intrusion. Can be blocked. Therefore, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts from being performed through the portion of the hinge member 60 under the outer frame.

By the way, when the standing wall portion 44d is provided at the rear end of the mounting portion 44a, the game ball B that has fallen on the mounting portion 44a for some reason when the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 is the standing wall portion. Since the movement of the outer frame 2 to the rear is prevented by the 44d, the game ball B is likely to stay on the mounting portion 44a. Then, when the game ball B stays on the mounting portion 44a, the game ball B is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. This causes a problem that the main body frame 4 cannot be closed.

On the other hand, in the ball biting prevention mechanism 44 of the present embodiment, the game ball B that has fallen on the outer frame lower hinge member 60 or the mounting portion 44a is first referred to as the discharge hole 60d of the outer frame lower hinge member 60. The game ball B can be discharged to the rear of the curtain plate rear member 43 (behind the outer frame 2) through the discharge port 44b or the second discharge port 44c, and is between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4. It is possible to prevent the game ball B from being pinched.

The outer frame lower assembly 40 closes a pair of guide members 45 arranged apart from each other on the upper surfaces of the curtain plate front member 42 and the curtain plate rear member 43, and the opening 42a of the curtain plate front member 42 from the rear side. A flat plate-shaped grill member 46 and a port member 47 having two cylinders extending back and forth, which are attached to the inside of the curtain plate front member 42 so as to close the opening 42a with the grill member 46 sandwiched between them. A frame-shaped seal member 48 arranged at the upper end of the connecting cylinder portion 43a of the curtain plate rear member 43 is provided.

The pair of guide members 45 are such that the lower end of the door frame 3 comes into contact with the outer frame 2 when the main body frame 4 is closed. The guide member 45 is made of a low friction material having low frictional resistance, and makes the lower end of the main body frame 4 slippery to facilitate opening and closing.

The grill member 46 is formed of a punching metal having innumerable small holes. The port member 47 communicates between the curtain plate internal space 40a (enclosure 624) and the front of the outer frame 2 via the grill member 46 by two cylinders. The port member 47 has two cylinders formed with a predetermined inner diameter and a predetermined length, and resonates and amplifies the bass emitted from the main body frame speaker 622 to the rear (inside the enclosure 624) by the principle of Helmholtz resonance. Therefore, rich bass can be radiated to the front (player side) of the outer frame 2. That is, in the present embodiment, the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 is a bass reflex type, and the player can hear the deep bass.

The seal member 48 is sandwiched and compressed between the upper end of the connecting cylinder portion 43a and the lower end of the connecting portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 in the main body frame 4 when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. This is to prevent the sound in the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 from leaking from between the connection cylinder portion 43a and the connection portion 621c.

Therefore, only one game ball B on the partition portion 143a is held in the ball holding portion 144b.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 has a ball feeding operating rod 146 whose tip swings in the vertical direction by driving (energizing) the ball feeding solenoid 145 and a tip swinging in the vertical direction in the ball feeding operating rod 146. It is provided with a ball feeding crank 147 that rotates around an axis extending in the front-rear direction and rotates a ball feeding member 144 around an axis extending in the vertical direction.

The ball feeding operation paddle 146 is provided with an iron plate 146a at a portion below the ball feeding solenoid 145. The ball feeding operation paddle 146 extends to the left and right, and the end (right end) opposite to the ball feeding crank 147 is rotatably attached to the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142 around the axis extending back and forth. Has been done. When the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the iron plate 146a is pulled toward the ball feeding solenoid 145 (upward) by the generated magnetic force, and the ball feeding operation paddle 146 is centered on the right end. The left end side near the crank 147 rotates so as to move upward. After that, when the drive of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is released, the magnetic force disappears and the weight of the iron plate 146a acts, and the left end side close to the ball feeding crank 147 moves downward around the right end. It rotates in this way and returns to the initial state. As a result, in the ball feeding operation paddle 146, the left end portion (tip) near the ball feeding crank 147 swings in the vertical direction by the ball feeding solenoid 145.

The ball feeding crank 147 engages with the engaging portion 147a extending in the left-right direction so as to be able to engage with the vertically moving tip of the ball feeding operating rod 146 and the ball feeding operating rod 146 of the engaging portion 147a. A shaft portion 147b, which is arranged on the opposite side to the side and is rotatably supported around an axis extending in the front-rear direction between the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142, and a shaft portion 147b extending upward. A transmission portion 147c that engages with a rod-shaped paddle portion 144c (see FIG. 35B) that protrudes downward from a position eccentric with respect to the center of rotation of the ball feeding member 144.

The ball feeding unit 140 moves the tip (left end) of the ball feeding operation paddle 146 upward by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145, thereby moving the ball feeding crank 147 via the ball feeding operating paddle 146. It can be rotated around an axis that extends back and forth.

In the ball feeding unit 140, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is not driven (normal time), the ball feeding operation paddle 146 is separated from the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145 and the tip is positioned downward. Then, the ball feeding member 144 is in a state of being positioned at the feeding position. Further, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the ball feeding operating rod 146 is sucked by the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145 and the tip (left end) is positioned upward, and the ball feeding member 144 is in the holding position. Rotate to. That is, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven (ON state), the ball feeding member 144 receives one game ball B, and the driving of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is released (OFF state). The game ball B received by the ball feeding member 144 can be sent (supplied) to the ball launching device 540 side. The drive of the ball feed solenoid 145 in the ball feed unit 140 is controlled by the launch control unit 633b (see FIG. 211) of the payout control board 633 in synchronization with the drive control of the launch solenoid 542.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is adapted to apply a moment such that it is rotated in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front by the ball pulling member 143 or the weight portion 143d which are rotatably supported by the shaft.

Since the rotation is restricted, the partition portion 143a of the ball pulling member 143 is positioned and partitioned between the entrance 141a and the ball pulling port 141b under the normal state, and the ball pulling port 141b side. The game ball B does not invade.

Then, when the player presses the upper plate ball removal button 222 of the plate unit 200 downward, the upper plate ball removal slider 242 slides downward together with the operation transmission unit 242b to move the operation transmission unit 242b downward. Along with this, the operating rod 143c also moves relatively downward. When the operating rod 143c moves downward together with the operation transmitting portion 242b, the ball pulling member 143 rotates in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front, and the partition portion 143a moves from between the entrance 141a and the ball pulling port 141b. The partition is released. As a result, the game ball B that has entered from the entrance 141a falls to the ball extraction port 141b side, and is discharged from the ball extraction port 141b to the ball extraction guide path 241c of the upper plate ball extraction unit 240 in the plate unit 200. It can be discharged (supplied) to the lower plate 202 via the lower plate ball supply port 211c.

Since the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 in which the working transmission portion 242b with which the working paddle 143c of the ball pulling member 143 abuts is formed is urged upward by the spring 243, the game ball B is placed on the partition portion 143a. Even if the ball is supplied vigorously, the impact can be absorbed by the spring 243 via the operating rod 143c, the ball pulling member 143 and the like can be prevented from being damaged, and the game ball B is a partition portion. It can be prevented from bouncing off at 143a.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is formed with a rectangular mounting recess 142b (see FIG. 35B and the like) that is recessed forward in the upper right corner when viewed from the rear of the ball hitting port 142a in the rear cover 142.

The fraud prevention member 148 of the ball feeding unit 140 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the inside of the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142 from the rear side.

The fraud prevention member 148 is formed in a rectangular shape with the outer shape of the front view extending to the left and right, and the upper piece portion 148a and the upper piece portion 148a which are separated vertically at substantially the center in the vertical direction within a predetermined distance from the right side to the left. It includes a lower piece portion 148b and an inclined portion 148c formed in a C chamfer shape on the tip end side (right end side in front view) of the side facing each other of the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b. .. The upper piece 148a of the fraud prevention member 148 is bent so that the right end in front view projects rearward with respect to the general surface of the fraud prevention member 148. The lower piece portion 148b extends on the same surface as the general surface of the fraud prevention member 148. As a result, in a plan view, the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b form a V-shaped groove that expands toward the right.

The fraud prevention member 148 is attached to the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142 so that the V-shaped groove formed by the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b communicates with the inside of the ball striking supply port 142a. Become.

According to the fraud prevention member 148, the fraudulent game ball B to which the string is attached is driven into the game area 5a by the ball launching device 540 from the upper plate via the ball feeding unit 140 and attached to the fraudulent game ball B. The illegal game ball B launched (struck) by the ball launcher 540 when a fraudulent act such as operating the string to move the illegal game ball B in and out of the first starting port 2002 or the like is performed. A string attached to the illegal game ball B is inserted between the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b by the momentum, and then a V shape formed by the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b. It can be cut by the narrowed portion of the shape, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts using the fraudulent game ball B to which the string is attached.

The cover pedestal 183 is formed in a disk shape, and includes three mounting bosses 183a projecting rearward from the rear surface. The three mounting bosses 183a penetrate the slit 182e of the handle 182 from the front and are mounted on the front surface of the handle base 181. Since the mounting boss 183a of the handle cover 185 penetrates the slit 182e of the handle 182, the mounting boss 183a comes into contact with the circumferential end of the slit 182e, which regulates the rotation angle of the handle 182. In this embodiment, the handle 182 can be rotated within a rotation angle of about 120 degrees.

The front surface of the handle cover 185 is rounded forward and is formed transparently. An inner lens 185a three-dimensionally formed of a transparent member is attached to the back surface of the handle cover 185 and inside the handle cover 185. The surface of the inner lens 185a is lens-cut (formed into a polyhedron) so that light can be diffusely refracted, and the surface of the handle decorative substrate 184 arranged behind the inner lens 185a ( It is difficult for the player to clearly see the plurality of LEDs mounted on the mounting surface). A lens cut may be applied to the front surface and the back surface of the inner lens 185a (may be formed into a polyhedron), and a lens cut may be applied to the back surface instead of the front surface of the inner lens 185a. It may be formed (it may be formed into a polyhedron). The handle cover 185 can be decorated by emitting light by appropriately emitting an LED on the front surface of the handle decoration substrate 184. The front surface of the handle cover 185 may be lens-cut (may be formed into a polyhedron), or the front surface and the back surface of the handle cover 185 may be lens-cut. It may be formed into a polyhedron (it may be formed into a polyhedron), or the back surface of the handle cover 185 may be provided with a lens cut (it may be formed into a polyhedron).

The handle unit 180 is attached to the handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101 via the handle mounting member 102. The handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101 is inclined so that the right end side is located behind the left end side in a plan view and faces the outside (open side). The handle unit 180 attached via the slingshot unit 180 is also tilted outward in a plan view (in other words, its tip is tilted toward the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line orthogonal to the front surface of the pachinko machine 1). It is attached and fixed to the door frame 3. As a result, the player can easily grip the handle 182 of the handle unit 180 and perform the rotation operation without any discomfort.

The handle rotation detection sensor 189 of the handle unit 180 is a variable resistor, and when the handle 182 is rotated, the detection shaft 189a of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 rotates via the shaft member 187 and the transmission gear 188. The internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 189a, and the driving force of the launch solenoid 542 in the ball launcher 540 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189. , The game ball B is driven into the game area 5a with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 182.

The steering wheel touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting on the steering wheel unit 180, and when the player comes into contact with the steering wheel 182 or the like, the static electricity acting by the player is detected and the handle 182 or the like of the player is subjected to the static electricity. Detect contact. Then, when the handle 182 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 192 is detecting the contact of the player, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the firing solenoid has a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 182. The drive of 542 is controlled, and the game ball B can be driven. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 182 in some way without touching the handle 182, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the contact of the player. Therefore, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B cannot be driven. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from rotating the handle 182 by a method different from the original one to play the game, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. ..

Further, in the handle unit 180, when the player presses the single-shot button 193 while the player is rotating the handle 182, the single-shot button operation sensor 194 detects the operation of the single-shot button 193, and the firing control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 determines. The drive of the firing solenoid 542 is stopped. As a result, the firing of the game ball B can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotation operation of the handle 182, and by releasing the pressing operation of the single-shot button 193, before the single-shot button 193 is operated. The game ball B can be driven into the game area 5a again with the driving strength.

Further, the handle unit 180 includes four first protrusions 182a, a second protrusion 182b, a third protrusion 182c, and a fourth protrusion 182d on the handle 182, and rotates the handle 182 most in the front-view clockwise direction. When the game ball B is driven into the game area 5a most strongly (so-called "right-handed"), the fourth protrusion 182d of the first protrusion 182a when the handle 182 is not rotated. Since the position is substantially the same as the position, by changing the handle 182 with the fourth protrusion 182d as the first protrusion 182a, the player can maintain the handle 182 in the "right-handed" position in a comfortable state. It is possible to reduce the feeling of fatigue of the player and suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

On the other hand, on the upper surface (front surface or surface) of the volume control board 229, the pad, through hole, land, etc. to which the volume up button tactile switch 226a and the volume down button tactile switch 227a are soldered are excluded. A white resist layer is formed over the entire area by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “solid white resist”) formed by applying a white resist solution. On the lower surface (rear surface or back surface) of the volume control board 229, the area where the connector (not shown) is mounted is white except for the pads, through holes, lands, etc., which are white with a solid white resist. A resist layer is formed. Further, on the upper surface (front surface or surface) of the volume control board 229, although not shown, the vicinity of the surface side electronic components such as the tactile switch 226a for the volume up button and the tactile switch 227a for the volume down button are mounted.

As described above, the colors of the resist liquids applied to the ball lending substrate 228 and the volume control substrate 229 housed in the ball lending operation unit 220 in a state of being adjacent to each other in the ball lending operation unit 220 are different. Explaining this, the signal transmission path for the ball rental button tactile switch 224a, the return button tactile switch 225a, and the three 7-segment LEDs is, as described above, the so-called main signal transmission path. Therefore, the tactile switch 224a for the ball rental button, the tactile switch 225a for the return button, and the three 7-segment LEDs are mounted on the upper surface (front surface or surface) of the ball rental board 228 housed in the ball rental operation unit 220. Electrically with the ball lending machine (for example, CR unit) provided adjacent to the pachinko machine 1 via the door frame main relay board 104 on the door frame 3 side and the interface board 635 on the main body frame 4 side. While they are connected, the signal transmission path for the volume up button tactile switch 226a and the volume down button tactile switch 227a is not the so-called main signal transmission path as described above. The tactile switch 226a for the volume up button and the tactile switch 227a for the volume down button are mounted on the upper surface (front surface or surface) of the volume control board 229 housed in the ball rental operation unit 220, and are mounted on the door frame 3 side. The drive board unit 1700 on the main body frame 4 side (front unit 2000 or back unit 3000 in response to a command from the peripheral control board 1510 described later) without going through the door frame sub-relay board 105 and the interface board 635 on the main body frame 4 side. Peripheral control unit 1500 on the game board 5 side (periphery described later that can control the progress of the effect) via the effect drive board 1720 (described later) that drives the decorative board, drive motor, drive solenoid, etc. provided in It is electrically connected to the control board 1510).

That is, in the present embodiment, the volume is electrically connected to the peripheral control unit 1500 (the peripheral control board 1510 described later that can control the progress of the effect) on the game board 5 side, which is the control device in the pachinko machine 1. The adjustment board 229 and the ball lending board 228 electrically connected to the ball lending machine (for example, CR unit) which is a control device outside the pachinko machine 1 are adjacent to each other in the ball lending operation unit 220 of the pachinko machine 1. The volume control board 229 is coated with a white resist solution to form a white coating film, whereas the ball rental board 228 is coated with a green resist solution different from white. Since the green coating film is formed, the operator who makes the wiring connection is electrically connected to the volume control board 229 using the color of the coating film formed in this way (that is, the color of the resist) as a mark. It is possible to contribute to the prevention of erroneous connection between the wiring and the wiring electrically connected to the ball rental board 228. Therefore, it can contribute to the prevention of erroneous connection of wiring.

Further, on the volume control board 229, a tactile switch 226a for a volume up button that allows the player to greatly adjust the volume related to the production and a tactile switch for the volume down button that allows the player to adjust the volume related to the production small. 227a is mounted, and the detection result (ON signal by ON, OFF signal by OFF) by the tactile switch 226a for the volume up button and the tactile switch 227a for the volume down button is the control device in the pachinko machine 1. It is transmitted to the peripheral control unit 1500 on the side (peripheral control board 1510 which can control the progress of the effect, which will be described later), and the player can request the ball lending board 228 to pay out the game ball B by ball lending. Tactile switch 224a for ball lending button, tactile switch 225a for return button that can request the ball lending machine (for example, CR unit) to return cash or prepaid card, cash put into the ball lending machine Three 7-segment LEDs that can display the remaining amount of the prepaid card are mounted, and the detection result by the tactile switch 224a for the ball rental button and the tactile switch 225a for the return button (ON signal by ON, OFF signal by OFF) ) Is transmitted to the ball lending machine (for example, CR unit) which is a control device outside the pachinko machine 1. By transmitting the drive signal from the ball rental machine (for example, CR unit) to the ball rental board 228, the ball rental display unit composed of the three 7-segment LEDs mounted on the ball rental board 228 can be used for ball rental. While the remaining amount of cash and prepaid cards inserted in the machine is displayed, the volume is adjusted from the peripheral control unit 1500 (peripheral control board 1510 described later that can control the progress of the production) on the game board 5 side. No drive signal is output to the board 229, and the volume control board 229 is based on the drive signal from the peripheral control unit 1500 (peripheral control board 1510 described later that can control the progress of the effect) on the game board 5 side. No electronic components that make up the displayed display unit are mounted. In this way, the path of the player's operation position is transmitted to the peripheral control unit 1500 (peripheral control board 1510 described later that can control the progress of the effect) on the game board 5 side, which is the control device in the pachinko machine 1. And, because there is a path transmitted to a ball lending machine (for example, a CR unit) provided adjacent to the pachinko machine 1 which is a control device outside the pachinko machine 1, it is electrically connected to the volume control board 229. If the wiring and the wiring electrically connected to the ball rental board 228 are erroneously connected, an unintended disadvantage may occur to the player. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that a white resist solution is applied to the ball rental substrate 228 to form a white coating film, and a green resist solution different from white is applied to the ball rental substrate 228. By forming a green coating film to be formed, erroneous connection is prevented.

Further, while surface mount type electronic components are used as the volume up button tactile switch 226a and the volume down button tactile switch 227a mounted on the volume control board 229, they are mounted on the ball rental board 228. Since the electronic components of the lead type are used for the tactile switch 224a for the ball rental button, the tactile switch 225a for the return button, and the three 7-segment LEDs, the type of electronic component (lead type or surface mount) mounted on the board. Based on one of the types), it is possible to distinguish between the wiring electrically connected to the volume control board 229 and the wiring electrically connected to the ball rental board 228. It can contribute to the prevention of erroneous connection.

By the way, although the light reflectance is highest in white and low in dark color, as described above, a white resist liquid is applied to the volume control substrate 229 without a display unit to form a white coating film. On the other hand, the ball rental substrate 228 provided with the ball rental display unit is coated with a dark green resist liquid to form a green coating film. As a result, the efficiency with which the light emitted by the ball rental display unit is reflected on the upper surface (front surface or surface) of the ball rental substrate 228 is reduced so as not to interfere with the production by the production device excluding the ball rental display unit. Can be done. In the present embodiment, green is adopted as the dark color, but purple or black may be used instead of green.

In the present embodiment, the ball rental board 228 is a ball rental machine provided adjacent to the pachinko machine 1 via the door frame main relay board 104 on the door frame 3 side and the interface board 635 on the main body frame 4 side. While electrically connected to (for example, a CR unit), the volume control board 229 does not go through the door frame sub-relay board 105 on the door frame 3 side and the interface board 635 on the main body frame 4 side. , Drive board unit 1700 on the main body frame 4 side (the effect described later to drive the decorative board, drive motor, drive solenoid, etc. provided in the front unit 2000 and the back unit 3000 in response to a command from the peripheral control board 1510 described later. Electrically with the peripheral control unit 1500 on the game board 5 side (peripheral control board 1510 described later that can control the progress of the effect) via the drive board 1720) and the interface board 635 on the main body frame 4 side. It is connected. That is, the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub-relay board 105 exist on the door frame 3 side. Therefore, the same color as the resist liquid applied to the ball rental board 228 is adopted for the front surface (surface) of the door frame main relay board 104 on the door frame 3 side, and the green resist liquid is applied. A green coating is formed, and the same color as the resist liquid applied to the volume control board 229 is used for the front surface (surface) of the door frame sub-relay board 105 on the door frame 3 side. , It is preferable that a white resist solution is applied to form a white coating film. The white coating film formed by applying the white resist solution is more brittle than the green coating film formed by applying the green resist solution, and is a single standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base). When a plurality of substrates are arranged from (material) and cut out for manufacturing, they may be cracked or torn.

By the way, when manufacturing a substrate, as described above, since a plurality of substrates are arranged and cut out from one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material), the color of the silk paint and the resist liquid are used. The same color will be produced, and a plurality of substrates having the same color will be manufactured. Therefore, for example, it may be possible to determine whether or not the substrate is manufactured from the same standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) by examining the white substrate, and the white substrate has a defect. When it is found, when confirming another defect, it is sufficient to first trace (find out) the other white substrates one by one and investigate, which has the advantage of contributing to the early detection of the defect.

The volume adjustment operation for greatly adjusting the volume related to the effect based on the volume up button 226 or decreasing the volume related to the effect based on the volume down button 227 is performed for a certain period of time (for example, the pachinko machine 1 is powered on). Variable display for a certain period from the time until the peripheral control MPU (hereinafter, for those having the function of the peripheral control MPU, it may be referred to as "peripheral control IC" instead of the peripheral control MPU) is activated. It may be always executable by the peripheral control MPU (or peripheral control IC) except for one or both of the special symbols before and after the stop, or the customer waiting state. The peripheral control MPU (or peripheral control IC) can be executed only when specific conditions such as the period during which the effect display device 1600 is demonstrating by the peripheral control MPU (or peripheral control IC) are satisfied. It may be one. In addition, the volume adjustment result based on the volume adjustment operation such as greatly adjusting the volume related to the effect based on the volume up button 226 or adjusting the volume related to the effect based on the volume down button 227 to be small is immediately adjusted to the peripheral control MPU (or peripheral). The control IC) may be reflected, or the peripheral control MPU (or peripheral control IC) may be delayed from the volume adjustment operation timing depending on the situation (whether or not the fluctuation is being displayed, the progress of the production, etc.). It may be reflected.

Incidentally, conventionally, a game machine having a plurality of substrates has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-079163 (paragraph [0047] and FIG. 5). However, among the plurality of substrates, they are adjacent to each other. In the case of being arranged in, the person performing the wiring connection work may erroneously connect the wiring that is electrically connected to one board and the wiring that is electrically connected to the other board.

[3-5c-6. Unit before removing the upper plate ball and unit after removing the upper plate ball]
The unit 230 before removing the upper plate ball and the unit 240 after removing the upper plate ball in the plate base unit 210 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 45 and 46. The upper plate ball removal unit 230 and the upper plate ball removal unit 240 cooperate with the ball feeding unit 140 when the upper plate ball removal button 222 of the ball lending operation unit 220 is pressed, and the upper plate 201 This is for discharging the game ball B stored in the lower plate 202 to the lower plate 202.

It is in contact with the upper surface.

The unit 240 after removing the upper plate ball has a rear base 241 attached to the rear surface of the plate unit base 211 so as to close the upper plate ball feeding port 211e and the slider insertion port 211g from the rear, and the rear base 241 in the vertical direction on the front surface of the rear base 241. An upper plate ball pulling slider 242 attached so as to be slidable to, a spring 243 for urging the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 upward, and a rear cover 244 attached to the rear side of the rear base 241. It has.

The rear base 241 projects upward from the portion where the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 is slidably attached and is open forward so that the game ball B can pass through the ball receiving port 241a and the ball receiving port 241a. A game from a position below the ball feeding guide path 241b on the rear surface of the rear base 241 and a ball feeding guide path 241b that guides the received game ball B downward on the rear surface of the rear base 241 and then guides it backward. It is provided with a ball-extracting taxiway 241c that guides the ball B downward and then to the right in the rear view.

The ball receiving port 241a is assembled in the plate base unit 210, and at the downstream end (right end in the front view) of the guide passage portion 201a of the upper plate 201, the ball receiving port 241a is directed forward through the upper plate ball feeding port 211e of the plate unit base 211. It is formed at the opening position. The ball feeding guide path 241b is formed so that the entrance 141a of the ball feeding unit 140 is located behind the lower part in a state of being assembled to the door frame 3. As a result, the game ball B supplied to the upper plate 201 enters the entrance 141a of the ball feeding unit 140 through the ball receiving port 241a and the ball feeding guide path 241b.

The portion extending to the left and right of the ball-extracting taxiway 241c protrudes to the right in the rear view from the portion in which the upper plate ball-extracting slider 242 is slidably attached, and is inclined so that the right end side in the rear view is lower. It opens on the right side of the rear view. The rear side of the portion extending to the left and right of the ball-extracting taxiway 241c is closed by the rear cover 244. In the state where the ball feeding guide path 241c is assembled to the door frame 3, the upper part of the portion extending vertically below the ball feeding guiding path 241b is located in front of the ball feeding port 141b of the ball feeding unit 140. At the same time, the right end of the portion extending to the left and right is formed so as to be connected to the notch 211d of the lower plate ball supply port 211c in the plate unit base 211. As a result, the game ball B discharged from the ball ejection port 141b of the ball feeding unit 140 is discharged from the lower plate ball supply port 211c into the lower plate 202 via the ball extraction guide path 241c and the notch 211d.

The upper plate ball pulling slider 242 has a quadrangular shape in front view, and has an actuating receiving portion 242a projecting forward from the upper left corner and an actuating receiving portion 242a projecting rearward from a rear surface on the rear side of the actuating receiving portion 242a. It includes an operation transmission unit 242b. The upper surface of the actuating receiving portion 242a is formed to be flat. Further, the operation transmitting portion 242b is inclined so that the upper surface is positioned downward toward the rear, and the lower surface extends horizontally so as to be connected to the rear end of the upper surface.

In the state where the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 is assembled to the door frame 3, the operation receiving portion 242a penetrates the slider insertion port 211g of the plate unit base 211 from the rear side and protrudes forward, and the actuating receiving portion 242a. The lower end of the front slider 232 of the upper plate ball extraction unit 230 is in contact with the upper surface of the above. Further, in the state where the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 is assembled on the door frame 3, the operation transmitting portion 242b projects rearward of the rear base 241 and the ball feeding unit 140 operates on the ball pulling member 143 on the upper surface. The paddle 143c is in contact.

The upper end of the spring 243 is attached to the rear base 241 and the lower end of the spring 243 is attached to the upper plate ball removal slider 242 to urge the upper plate ball removal slider 242 upward. Therefore, the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 is located at the upward moving end by the urging force of the spring 243, and can move downward by resisting the urging force of the spring 243.

In the upper plate ball removal unit 230 and the upper plate ball removal unit 240, the upper plate ball removal slider 242 is positioned at the upward moving end by the urging force of the spring 243, and the upper plate ball removal slider 242 The upper plate ball pulling button 222 is positioned at the upward moving end via the front slider 232 that is in contact with the upper surface of the operation receiving portion 242a. Further, since the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 is positioned at the upward moving end by the urging force of the spring 243, the downward movement of the operating rod 143c which is in contact with the upper surface of the operation transmitting portion 242b is prevented. The partition portion 143a of the ball pulling member 143 is positioned between the entrance 141a and the ball pulling port 141b to partition the two.

Therefore, when the upper plate ball removal button 222 is not pressed, the ball feeding unit 140 is partitioned between the entrance 141a and the ball extraction port 141b, and is sent from the upper plate 201 to the ball receiving port 241a. The game ball B can be sent from the hit ball supply port 142a to the ball launching device 540 side via the entrance entrance 141a and the ball feeding member 144.

On the other hand, when the upper plate ball removal button 222 is pressed downward against the urging force of the spring 243, the upper plate ball removal slider 242 moves downward via the front slider 232, and the upper plate ball removal slider 242 operates. The operating rod 143c of the ball pulling member 143 that is in contact with the upper surface of the transmission portion 242b can move downward, and the ball pulling member 143 rotates due to the load of the weight portion 143d of the ball pulling member 143 to rotate the partition portion 143a. Retreats from between the entrance 141a and the ball outlet 141b. As a result, the game ball B that has entered the entrance 141a from the upper plate 201 through the ball receiving port 241a and the ball feeding guide path 241b is discharged forward from the ball outlet 141b that opens below the entrance 141a. Will be done. Then, the game ball B discharged forward from the ball extraction port 141b is guided from the notch portion 211d into the lower plate ball supply port 211c through the ball extraction guide path 241c, and then lower from the lower plate ball supply port 211c. It is discharged into the plate 202, and the game ball B in the upper plate 201 is discharged into the lower plate 202.

When the downward pressure of the upper plate ball removal button 222 is released, the upper plate ball removal slider 242 moves upward due to the urging force of the spring 243, and the upper plate is passed through the front slider 232 that is in contact with the operation receiving portion 242a.

The entire pressing operation unit 303 including the outer peripheral button cover 380 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are moved upward, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 projects upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380.

When the center button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are moved to the ascending position while assembled in the effect operation unit 300, the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are in a state of protruding more than the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330 (FIG. 65 (b) and the like). reference).

When the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the button spring 374 in this raised position, the center button cover 375 and the center button body 373 are attached with the button spring 374. It moves downward against the force, and the central button body 373 comes into contact with the elevating base 364. In the state where the center button main body 373 is in contact with the elevating base 364, the pressure detection piece 373e of the central button main body 373 is in a state of protruding downward from the elevating base 364, but the elevating base 364 is the button unit base 361. The pressure detection piece 373e is not detected by the pressure detection sensor 381 because it is separated from the pressure detection sensor 381.

When the central button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the center button cover 375 and the center button body 373 resist the urging force of the button spring 374. After the central button body 373 abuts on the elevating base 364, the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the lower end of the elevating base 364 abuts on the button unit base 361. Become. When the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361, the elevating base 364 is in the lowered position, and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is also in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364.

In this way, when the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361 while the central button body 373 is in contact with the elevating base 364, the press detection piece 373e of the central button body 373 protruding downward from the elevating base 364e. Is detected by the press detection sensor 381, and the press of the center button cover 375 (center press operation unit 303a) is detected.

On the other hand, when the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is pressed downward by a force equal to the urging force of the elevating spring 365 in the raised position, the elevating base 364 is moved to the elevating spring via the outer peripheral button cover 380. It moves downward against the urging force of 365, and the lower end of the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361. In this state, the outer peripheral button cover 380 is in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364, but since the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) protrudes upward due to the urging force of the button spring 374, the center button main body The pressure detection piece 373e of 373 does not protrude downward from the elevating base 364, and the pressure detection piece 373e is not detected by the pressure detection sensor 381.

To return the center button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (pressing operation unit 303) from the ascending position to the descending position, the elevating cam member 371 is rotated counterclockwise in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367. Then, in FIG. 62B, the third cam 371e, which is in contact with the upper left of the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364, moves to the right (direction of the guide pin 364d), so that the third cam The guide pin 364d is pressed downward by the 371e, and the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

Then, when the guide pin 364d moves from the lower end of the third cam 371e to the first cam 371b side with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371, the downward movement of the elevating base 364 stops and the guide pin 364d moves to the first cam. It rolls along 371b. After that, when the guide pin 364d reaches the position of the locking portion 371c in the middle of the first cam 371b, the guide pin 364d is inserted into the locking portion 371c recessed upward by the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the operation is performed. By stopping the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 by the button elevating drive motor 367, the original descending position is restored.

[3-5e-10. Action of production operation unit]
Next, the operation of the effect operation unit 300 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 63 to 65 and the like. FIG. 63 is an explanatory view showing the relationship between the effect operation ring and the rotation drive unit in the left side view of the effect operation unit. FIG. 64 is an explanatory view showing the relationship between the effect operation ring and the effect operation ring decorative substrate in a plan view of the effect operation unit viewed from the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit. FIG. 65A is a front view of the plate unit shown in a normal state, FIG. 65B is a front view of the plate unit when the pressing operation unit is in the raised position, and FIG. 65C is a central pressing of the pressing operation unit. It is a front view of the dish unit when the operation part is pressed.

The effect operation unit 300 is provided with an effect operation unit 301 that can be operated by the player on the upper surface. The effect operation unit 301 is composed of a large annular rotation operation unit 302 and a pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302. The pressing operation unit 303 is an annular outer peripheral pressing operation unit disposed between the cylindrical central pressing operation unit 303a located at the center of the rotation operation unit 302 and the central pressing operation unit 303a and the rotation operation unit 302. It is composed of 303b.

The rotation operation unit 302 is formed by a ring outer upper cover 335, a ring outer lower cover 336, and a ring inner cover 337 of the effect operation ring 330. The central pressing operation unit 303a is formed by the central button cover 375 and the central button main body 373 of the effect operation button unit 360, and the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is formed by the outer peripheral button cover 380 and the outer peripheral substrate cover 378.

The effect operation unit 300 is assembled to the dish unit 200 in a state of being inclined so that the front side of the virtual plane formed by the upper surface of the annular rotation operation unit 302 (effect operation ring 330) is lowered. Therefore, the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operating unit 302 is inclined so as to move backward as it goes downward (in other words, it moves forward as it goes upward). ..

In the normal state, the effect operation unit 300 is in a state in which the pressing operation unit 303 slightly protrudes upward from the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. Specifically, the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 slightly protrudes upward from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. (See Fig. 63, etc.).

In this normal state, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated in the clockwise direction by the operation ring drive motor 342 of the rotation drive unit 340 in the left side view, the effect operation ring 330 is passed through the operation ring transmission gear 350. The rotation operation unit 302 of the above rotates in the clockwise direction in a plan view. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view. ..

The operation ring drive motor 342 is a stepping motor, and the rotation operation unit 302 can be reciprocally rotated to vibrate by repeating forward rotation and reverse rotation within a predetermined rotation angle range. This vibration is different from the vibration caused by the vibration speaker 354, and only the rotation operation unit 302 vibrates.

The rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is not only rotated by the operation ring drive motor 342, but can also be rotated by the player. When the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 of the rotation drive unit 340 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the left side view via the transmission gear 350 for the operation ring and rotates. When the operation unit 302 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view. The transmission detection gear member 345 detects rotation by two sensors, a first rotation detection sensor 347 and a second rotation detection sensor 348.

The rotation of the transmission detection gear member 345 is detected by detecting a plurality of detection pieces 345b by the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348. More specifically, the distance between the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348, which are separated in the circumferential direction, is equal to the distance between the plurality of detection pieces 345b arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. , The interval is not an integral multiple. As a result, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 are configured so as not to detect the detection piece 345b at the same timing.

In the present embodiment, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the clockwise direction in the left side view, the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b, and then the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b. To do. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view, the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b, and then the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b. Detect. Therefore, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 can detect the rotation direction of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) in the order of detecting the detection piece 345b. Further, the rotation speed of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) can be detected by the detection time of the detection piece 345b in the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348.

In this way, since the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 can be detected, the content of the player participation type effect can be changed according to the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302. Further, when the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 is detected, the rotation operation unit 302 is rotationally driven in the same direction as the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342, so that the rotation operation can be lightened and assisted. .. Alternatively, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotationally driven in the direction opposite to the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342 to make the rotation operation heavier or give a click feeling.

The rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is formed by a ring outer upper cover 335, a ring outer lower cover 336, and a ring inner cover 337, and is formed in a shape in which an arc of more than half of a circle extends in an annular shape. ing. In other words, the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a donut shape. As shown in the figure, the rotation operation unit 302 is attached in a state where the outer peripheral surface, the upper surface, and a part of the inner peripheral surface are exposed, so that the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a shape that can be easily grasped by the player's hand. ..

As a result, the player can touch the rotation operation unit 302 from various directions, so that the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated in a way that is easy for the player to do, and the rotation operation unit 302 can be operated. The sex is enhanced. Further, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated when the pressing operation unit 303 is in either the lower position or the ascending position. Since the lower surface side of the rotation operation unit 302 is attached to the operation unit base 320, the rotation operation unit 302 cannot be gripped like the steering wheel of an automobile.

As shown in FIG. 64, the effect operation unit 300 includes an effect operation ring decorative substrate 352 in which a plurality of LEDs are arranged in a ring shape below the effect operation ring 330. As a result, the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 can be light-emitting and decorated by causing the LED of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 to emit light. Further, in the effect operation ring decorative substrate 352, since a plurality of LEDs are arranged in a ring shape along the rotation operation unit 302, the plurality of LEDs arranged in a row are sequentially arranged according to the rotation of the rotation operation unit 302. By emitting light, only a specific portion of the rotating rotation operation unit 302 can be light-emitting and decorated. As a result, the player can be made to think that an LED (decorative substrate) is provided in the rotating rotation operation unit 302.

In the normal state of the effect operation unit 300, as shown in FIG. 65 (a), the pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 has an upper surface thereof more than the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. It is in a descending position that protrudes slightly upward. In this state, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated, and the central pressing operation unit 303a in the pressing operation unit 303 can be pressed. When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed downward, the upper surface of the central pressing operation unit 303a (center button cover 375) is lowered to substantially the same height as the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b (outer peripheral button cover 380), and the pressure is detected. Pressing is detected by the sensor 381.

In this normal (lowering position) state, even if the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b in the pressing operation unit 303 is pressed downward, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b (outer peripheral button cover 380) does not move downward, and the pressure is detected. The pressure is not detected by the sensor 381.

In a normal state, when the elevating cam member 371 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367, the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 is disengaged from the cam portion 371a (first cam 371b). Then, due to the urging force of the pair of elevating springs 365, the pressing operation unit 303 vigorously protrudes upward together with the elevating base 364 to be in the ascending position (see FIG. 65 (b)). In this raised position, the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 303 is located above the upper surface of the rotation operating unit 302. In other words, the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 project significantly upward from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330.

When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed downward while the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, the central pressing operation unit 303a first moves downward against the urging force of the button spring 374, and the central pressing operation unit 303a The upper surface and the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b are in a state of substantially the same height. In this state, the pressure detection sensor 381 does not detect the pressure. Further, the central pressing operation unit 303a moves downward together with the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the upper surfaces of the central pressing operation unit 303a and the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b are the rotation operation unit 302. It is in a state of substantially the same height as the upper surface (see FIG. 65 (c)). In this state, the pressure detection sensor 381 detects the pressure.

Further, when the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is pressed downward while the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, the upper surface of the central pressing operation unit 303a remains projected upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b. The outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b and the central pressing operation unit 303a move downward, and the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is in a state of substantially the same height as the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302 (see FIG. 65 (a)). .. In this state, the pressure detection sensor 381 does not detect the pressure.

As described above, the pressing operation unit 303 of the present embodiment is not detected by the pressing detection sensor 381 unless the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed to the downward moving end regardless of the descending position or the ascending position. ing. Therefore, since it is possible to urge the player to firmly press the central pressing operation unit 303a, it is possible to draw attention to the operation of the effect operation unit 301 in the player participation type production. , Player participation type production can be more enjoyed.

The rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated even when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position. Therefore, when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, depending on the player, the rotation operation becomes easier by using the pressing operation unit 303 as a clue, or the pressing operation unit 303 becomes an obstacle and the rotation operation becomes difficult. Since the rotation operation unit 302 can be changed, the operability of the rotation operation unit 302 can be changed, and more various operations can be enjoyed.

Opening of frame 4, disconnection of wiring, etc.) or malfunction (problem related to operation of various movable decorative bodies (movable bodies), inability to detect the original position (standby position) of various movable decorative bodies (movable bodies), etc.) When not present, the light emission data, which is normally the light emission mode of the effect mode, is output to an LED constant current drive circuit (not shown) mounted on the door frame top relay board 467 based on the clock signal. On the other hand, the peripheral control board 1510 has an abnormality in the pachinko machine 1 (for example, ball clogging of ball tank 552, tank rail 553, ball guidance unit 570, and payout device 580, detection of fraudulent activity, door frame, etc. Opening of 3, opening of the main body frame 4, disconnection of wiring, etc.) or malfunction (defect related to the operation of various movable decorative bodies (movable bodies), inability to detect the original position (standby position) of various movable decorative bodies (movable bodies), etc. )) Occurs, the light emission data, which is a notification mode as described above, is output to an LED constant current drive circuit (not shown) mounted on the door frame top relay board 467 based on the clock signal.

It should be noted that the light emitting mode (normal time) of the effect mode is a variety of light emitting modes in which lighting, extinguishing, blinking, gradation lighting, etc. are combined, and the main control board 1310 sends a control signal to the function display unit 1400. The main control board 1310 transmits to the peripheral control board 1510 a command corresponding to the fluctuation pattern set when the symbol is output, the symbol is variablely displayed using a plurality of LEDs based on the control signal, and the symbol is variablely displayed. Based on this command, the peripheral control board 1510 controls the light emission state of the effect mode as a predetermined effect light emission (normal time). On the other hand, in the notification mode (a mode different from the normal state), the predetermined color (red in the present embodiment) is lit with the maximum brightness, and the payout control MPU is a door frame. When the opening of the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4 is detected based on the detection signal from the release switch, a door frame opening command to that effect is transmitted to the main control board 1310, and the main control board receiving this door frame opening command is transmitted. The 1310 adds predetermined information (information for adjusting the format for transmitting the command from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510) to the door frame opening command for notifying the opening of the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4. The peripheral control board 1510 that transmits to the control board 1510 and receives such a command controls the peripheral control board 1510 to a predetermined notification mode (a mode different from the normal state).

Although not shown, the component numbers of the surface-side electronic components and the surface-side electronic components are arranged on the front surface (surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 in the vicinity of the surface-side electronic components such as a plurality of mounted LEDs 769a. Attributes of surface-side electronic components such as a region indicating a position (furthermore, include the shape of the surface-side electronic component, the size of the surface-side electronic component, the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the surface-side electronic component, and the model of the surface-side electronic component. In some cases, the front side notation portion indicating) is printed by silk printing on a solid white resist with a bright yellow paint that is inconspicuous with respect to white. Although not shown on the rear surface (back surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469, the part numbers of the back surface side electronic components, the area indicating the position where the back surface side electronic components are arranged, etc. are located in the vicinity of the back surface side electronic components such as connectors. Attributes of the back side electronic component (further, the shape of the back side electronic component, the size of the back side electronic component, the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the back side electronic component, and the model of the back side electronic component may be included). The notation on the back side shown is a bright yellow paint that is inconspicuous with respect to white, and is printed by silk printing on a solid white resist.

Here, the reason why a white resist liquid is used as the color and yellow is used as the silk printing paint will be described. First, the reflectance increases as it approaches white, whereas it decreases as it approaches black. The yellow reflectance is very close to the white reflectance compared to the red reflectance, and the red reflectance is very far from the white reflectance compared to the yellow reflectance. Although the reflectance of yellow is lower than that of white of the white coating film, it has a high reflectance. For this reason, in the combination of white and red, red becomes conspicuous when the background is white, and when the front side notation part (back side notation part) is red, the red front side with respect to the white resist. The notation part (the notation part on the back side of red with respect to the white resist) is conspicuous, whereas in the combination of white and yellow (configuration of the present embodiment), yellow is not conspicuous when the background is white, and the surface surface. When the side notation part (back side notation part) is yellow, the yellow front side notation part (yellow back side notation part with respect to the white resist) is inconspicuous with respect to the white resist.

Further, since the pachinko machine 1 brilliantly emits light by illumination by light emitting parts such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on each decorative board, the plurality of LEDs mounted on the front surface (front surface) of the acoustic decorative board 469 can be used. As described above, it is a full-color LED capable of emitting multiple colors, and its light emitting mode changes variously depending on whether it is turned on (lighted) or turned off. For this reason, a white coating film formed on the front surface (surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 by applying a white resist liquid over the entire area excluding pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which a plurality of LEDs are soldered. (Hereinafter, it may be simply referred to as "solid white resist") to form a white resist layer, and further, a full-color LED capable of emitting multiple colors is formed on the solid white resist. By printing the identifiable front side notation with yellow paint by silk printing, the yellow front side notation is not noticeable with respect to the white resist when the full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is turned off. In addition to being able to do this, when a full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is lit (when emitting light), a solid white resist with high reflectance and a yellow paint that is very close to white reflectance The high reflectance of the surface (front surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 can be maintained by combining with the front surface side notation portion printed by silk printing.

When yellow is used as the paint for silk printing, the yellow printed by silk printing may become light yellow or dark yellow due to variations due to the printing machine, or it may appear orange. In some cases. In addition, since the ink companies that supply silk printing paints also have a range of yellow (yellow toward the bright side, yellow due to the dark side), they can be used as silk printing paint for the same board manufacturing company or multiple board companies. Even if yellow is specified, it does not become exactly the same yellow (it is difficult to make it exactly the same yellow), but yellow has a wide range of colors.

In a state where the top side speaker 464 is attached to the front surface of the speaker bracket 463 and the acoustic decorative substrate 469 is attached to the rear surface of the speaker bracket 463, the front surface (surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 is the magnetic circuit portion of the top side speaker 464.

It will be in a state of doing. When a plurality of LEDs 469a mounted on the front surface (surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 emit light, as described above, the translucency is transmitted through the through hole of the magnetic circuit portion formed in the cylindrical shape of the top side speaker 464. Light is emitted from the center cap having the light, and light is emitted from the translucent diaphragm through a plurality of openings formed in the circumferential direction of the housing portion. Further, it is reflected by the back surface of the top side speaker 464 (the back surface of the yoke forming the magnetic circuit portion formed in a cylindrical shape) and repeatedly between the back surface of the top side speaker 464 and the front surface (front surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469. On the contrary, a plurality of LEDs 469a mounted on the front surface (front surface) of the acoustic decoration substrate 469 emit light because they are emitted from the rear surface (back surface) of the top side speaker 464, that is, the rear surface (back surface) of the acoustic decoration substrate 469. Then, since a plurality of LEDs 469a leak light from at least a part around the acoustic decorative substrate 469 (through a transparent plate (not shown) covering the rear surface (back surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 which is the back surface side of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 (through). ) Because a plurality of LEDs 469a leak from at least a part around the acoustic decorative substrate 469)), a gap between the outer circumference of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 and the inner circumference of the through hole 451ba formed in the door frame top base 451 and the door. It exits to the rear of the door frame base 101 of the door frame base unit 100 through the through hole 101k formed in the frame base 101.

That is, since the plurality of LEDs 469a mounted on the front surface (front surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 can emit light toward the front of the door frame 3 and toward the rear of the door frame 3, the door frame can emit light. In a state where 3 is open to the main body frame 4 (that is, when the door frame 3 is opened), the acoustic decorative substrate 469 is viewed from the direction facing the front side of the door frame 3 and the direction facing the rear side of the door frame 3. It is possible to visually recognize the notification mode by the plurality of LEDs 469a mounted on the front surface (front surface). In other words, it is possible to visually recognize that the plurality of LEDs 469a mounted on the front surface (surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 emit light in the notification mode not only from the front of the door frame 3 but also from the rear of the door frame 3. A plurality of LEDs 469a are arranged to leak light from at least a part around the acoustic decorative substrate 469. As a result, in the game hall, the front surface (front surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 is provided to the staff such as the clerk of the game hall passing through the aisle side facing the front side of the door frame 3 and the aisle side facing the rear side of the door frame 3. It is possible to convey the notification mode by the plurality of LEDs 469a mounted on the. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is opened, the notification mode can be visually recognized from the front side and the rear side of the door frame 3. Further, in the game hall, an abnormality or a problem occurs in the staff such as the clerk of the game hall from both the aisle side facing the front side of the door frame 3 and the aisle side facing the rear side of the door frame 3 (pachinko). Abnormality in machine 1 (for example, ball clogging of ball tank 552, tank rail 553, ball guidance unit 570, and payout device 580, detection of fraudulent activity, opening of door frame 3, opening of main body frame 4, wiring It is possible to promptly convey the disconnection, etc.) or malfunction (defect related to the operation of various movable decorative bodies (movable bodies), the original position (standby position) of various movable decorative bodies (movable bodies) cannot be detected, etc.)), and the game The work efficiency of the hall can be improved.

By the way, if the diaphragm of the speaker is torn with an illegal tool, no sound will flow, but while it is easy to see that the diaphragm of the speaker is torn with an illegal tool, a hole is made in the diaphragm of the speaker with an illegal tool. The sound changes but the sound flows just by opening it. Therefore, if you make a hole in the diaphragm of the speaker with an illegal tool and remove the wiring connected to the connection terminal of the speaker or disconnect it to prevent sound from flowing from the speaker, magnets and taps will be used. Even if the game machine can detect the act of illegally acquiring the game ball by performing the above, the warning sound does not flow from the speaker in the first place. When a person who commits such an illegal act leaves the game machine, the game machine is in a state of waiting for the player, and a silent demonstration (multiple LEDs provided on the door frame and the game board are set to the light emitting mode for waiting for the player). Along with the light emission, the player waiting image is displayed on the effect display device capable of displaying the effect image.) Is repeated. Then, in such a state of waiting for the player, a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall has a hole in the diaphragm of the speaker by an illegal tool, and the wiring connected to the connection terminal of the speaker is disconnected or disconnected. It becomes difficult to determine whether or not sound is flowing from the speaker.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 is pierced with a wire, the acoustic decoration substrate 469 is arranged behind the top side speaker 464, so that the front surface (surface) of the acoustic decoration substrate 469 is arranged. ), When the plurality of LEDs 469a mounted on the top side speaker 464 emit light, the light is emitted from the translucent center cap through the through hole of the magnetic circuit portion formed in the cylindrical shape of the top side speaker 464, and the housing portion. Light is emitted from a translucent diaphragm through a plurality of openings formed in the circumferential direction of the speaker. Since the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 and the center cap are made of a translucent resin (for example, polypropylene having a milky white color), the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 passes through a hole formed in the diaphragm. The light emitted from the diaphragm shines brighter as a spotlight than the light emitted from the diaphragm and the center cap. As a result, as described above, the top lower cover 465 is formed of punching metal made of a metal plate having innumerable through holes. Therefore, when a silent demonstration is performed, the top lower cover 465 penetrates. Through the holes, the existence of the holes formed in the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 can be discovered as the existence shining with high brightness like a spotlight. Therefore, it can contribute to the determination of whether or not sound is flowing from the top side speaker 464.

Further, when the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 is pierced with a wire and a silent demonstration is performed, a plurality of LEDs 469a mounted on the front surface (surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 are turned off (it happens to be turned off). The state in which the plurality of LEDs 469a mounted on the front surface (surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469 are turned off within the period from the end of the silent demonstration to the start of the silent demonstration again. However, since the acoustic decorative substrate 469 on which the white coating film coated with the white resist liquid is formed is arranged behind the top side speaker 464, the background becomes white due to this white coating film, so that the top side speaker The white color of the white coating film could be visually recognized through the holes made in the diaphragm of 464 and the innumerable through holes formed in the top lower cover 465, and the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 was illegally opened. The holes are easy to see. As a result, it is possible to detect whether or not the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 is illegally perforated. Therefore, it can contribute to the determination of whether or not sound is flowing from the top side speaker 464.

In addition, a silent demonstration in which a plurality of LEDs provided in the door frame 3 and the game board 5 emit light in a player waiting light emitting mode, and the player waiting image is displayed on the effect display device 1600 capable of displaying the effect image. Since a plurality of LEDs emit light in a light emitting mode for waiting for a player, even if the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 is illegally pierced with a wire, it is mounted on the front surface (surface) of the acoustic decorative substrate 469. Since the light emitted by the plurality of LEDs 469a leaks through the holes formed in the diaphragm of the topside speaker 464, it seems that a part of the diaphragm of the topside speaker 464 is emitting light. As a result, it is possible to discover that the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 has a hole.

A speaker net having translucency may be provided on the front surface of the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464. By providing the speaker net, it is possible to prevent the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464 from being illegally intruded by a wire, and it takes time to make a hole in the diaphragm of the top side speaker 464. , Can contribute to the early detection of such fraudulent activity. Further, since the speaker net has translucency, it is unlikely to interfere with the light emitted through the translucent diaphragm of the top side speaker 464.

Further, the top side speaker 464 is made of a translucent resin such as a vibrating plate and a center cap, for example, polypropylene having a milky white color, but has a gray color as a translucent resin. It may be polypropylene or the like having a color close to black), red, pink, sky blue, blue, green, yellow, etc., or may be made of a transparent resin instead of a resin having translucency.

Incidentally, conventionally, a game machine provided with a front frame provided with a light emitting device has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-079163 (paragraph [0024] and FIG. 1)). The light emitting device performs effects and error notifications that occur during the game. However, when the front frame is opened, it is possible to visually recognize the notification mode of the light emitting device from the direction facing the front side of the front frame, while it is difficult to visually recognize the notification mode of the light emitting device from the direction facing the rear surface side of the front frame. There was a problem.

Further, conventionally, a game machine having a game board detachably held in a middle frame and having a front frame configured to cover the front side of the game board has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-07963). (Paragraph [0019] and FIG. 1)). By the way, when opening the front frame, a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall inserts a key into the cylinder lock, rotates the lock, and then grasps and pulls the decorative member provided on the front frame by hand. As the amount of opening work increases, the front frame may be damaged due to repeated load on the joint portion between the decorative member and the front frame.

Further, conventionally, a game machine provided with a front frame provided with a light emitting device has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-079163 (paragraph [0024] and FIG. 1)). When any abnormality or malfunction occurs in the game machine, the light emitting device emits light in a special mode different from the normal time, and can notify the outside of the occurrence of the abnormality or malfunction. However, in the same manner as in the past, it has been difficult to say that it is sufficient to notify the outside of the occurrence of an abnormality or a defect.

Further, conventionally, a game machine provided with a front frame provided with a light emitting device has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-079163 (paragraph [0019] and FIG. 1)). When any abnormality or malfunction occurs in the game machine, the light emitting device emits light in a special mode different from the normal time, and can notify the outside of the occurrence of the abnormality or malfunction. However, as the light toward the rear of the game board increases, the light toward the front of the game machine decreases, so it is difficult to say that it is sufficient to notify the outside of the occurrence of an abnormality or malfunction.

Further, conventionally, a game machine in which specific information about the game machine is provided on the game board has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-080279 (paragraph [0035] and FIG. 14)). As a result, it becomes possible to confirm from the outside whether or not the game board is a legitimate game board, and it is possible to suppress an illegal change act or the like for the game machine. However, in the same manner as the conventional mode, since the specific information can be visually recognized from the player side, the decorativeness is lowered, and there is a possibility that the game interest is lowered.

Further, conventionally, a game machine having a speaker in a front frame has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-079163 (paragraph [0024] and FIG. 1)). Along with the production sound generated during the game, the error notification sound and the like are also played from the speaker provided in this game machine. By the way, if the diaphragm of the speaker is torn with an illegal tool, no sound will flow, but it will be easy to visually recognize that the diaphragm of the speaker is torn. Simply making a hole in the diaphragm of the speaker with an illegal tool will change the sound, but the sound will flow. Therefore, if you make a hole in the diaphragm of the speaker with an illegal tool and remove the wiring connected to the connection terminal of the speaker or disconnect it to prevent sound from flowing from the speaker, magnets and taps will be used. Even if the game machine can detect the act of illegally acquiring the game ball by performing the above, the warning sound does not flow from the speaker. When a person who commits such an illegal act leaves the game machine, the game machine is put into a player waiting state, and a silent demonstration (the light emitting device emits light in the player waiting light emitting mode and is displayed on the image display device). The image for waiting for the player is displayed.) Will be repeated. However, in such a state of waiting for the player, a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall has a hole in the diaphragm of the speaker by an illegal tool, and the wiring connected to the connection terminal of the speaker is disconnected or disconnected. It was difficult to determine whether or not sound was flowing from the speaker.

[3-9. Door frame decoration]
The decoration of the door frame 3 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 75 and the like. FIG. 75 is a front view of the door frame shown together with each decorative substrate. As shown in the figure, the door frame 3 has a substantially quadrangular door window 101a extending vertically and closed by a transparent glass plate 162 of the glass unit 160 in the center of the front view.

Since the 453 is formed in a semi-tube shape, it is possible to show the player a decoration in which the entire circumference of the door window 101a is surrounded by a fluorescent lamp.

In the door frame 3, the upper left decorative body 271 of the plate, the upper right decorative body 276 of the plate, the upper upper decorative body 312a of the plate, the left side decorative body 404 of the door frame, the right side decorative body 419 of the door frame, and the right side decorative body 419 of the door frame surrounding the outer periphery of the door window 101a. Behind the door frame top decorative body 453, the dish upper left decorative board 273, the dish upper right decorative board 278, the dish center upper decorative board 314, the door frame left side decorative board 402, the door frame right side decorative board 418, the door frame top center decoration Since the substrate 455, the door frame top left decorative substrate 456, and the door frame top right decorative substrate 457 are arranged, the entire outer periphery of the door window 101a can be light-emitting and decorated by appropriately emitting the LEDs of the decorative substrate. It is possible to show the player a light emitting effect so that the light moves along the outer circumference of the door window 101a.

In the plate unit 200 of the door frame 3, the annular and donut-shaped rotation operation unit 302 having a diameter larger than the distance in the front-rear direction of the upper plate 201 is arranged coaxially in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 on the upper surface. A pressing operation unit 303 including a cylindrical outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b and a cylindrical central pressing operation unit 303a is attached, and a semicircular arc similar to the rotation operation unit 302 is attached below the rotation operation unit 302. Two donut-shaped (semi-cylindrical or semi-tube-shaped) large diameter upper decorative bodies 312a and lower center of the dish 312b are attached vertically apart from each other, and above the center of the dish. Door frame left side unit 400 door frame left side decorative body 404, door frame right side unit 410 door frame right side decorative body having the same shape so as to be continuous with both ends of the decorative body 312a and the lower center decoration body 312b 419 and the door frame top decorative body 453 of the door frame top unit 450 are attached to the outside of the door window 101a of the door frame base 101 so as to surround the outer periphery of the game area 5a.

As a result, in the plate unit 200, the rotation operation unit 302, the two plate center upper decorative bodies 312a, and the plate center lower decorative body 312b are arranged vertically with three donut-shaped members, and the rotation operation unit 302, the outer circumference. Since the pressing operation unit 303b and the central pressing operation unit 303a are arranged concentrically, the impact of appearance can be enhanced, and the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 can be made conspicuous.

Further, the dish upper left decorative body 271, the dish upper right decorative body 276, and the dish lower left decorative body 281, the dish lower right decorative body 286, and the dish center lower decorative body 312b arranged below the dish central upper decorative body 312a are half. The thickness of the tubular tube is slightly reduced, and a hemispherical unit lower cover 311 is provided below the dish center lower decorative body 312b. As a result, since the effect operation unit 300 becomes larger from the lower end toward the upper side, it is possible to emphasize the perspective in the vertical direction, and the rotation operation unit 302 arranged on the upper side can be operated by the player. The pressing operation unit 303 can be made to look large, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 in the effect operation unit 300 on the upper surface of the plate unit 200, and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed. it can.

Further, a donut-shaped rotation operation unit 302 is rotatably attached to the upper surface of the dish unit 200 around an axis extending so as to be positioned forward as it goes upward, and the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302 has a front end side. Since it is tilted so as to be lowered, the upper surfaces of the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 face the direction of the head (face) of the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1, and the player rotates from the player. The entire operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 can be easily seen, and the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 can be made to look larger. Further, as described above, since the entire rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 can be easily understood, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize that the rotation operation unit 302 has a donut shape. Therefore, since the player can be made to immediately recognize that the donut-shaped rotation operation unit 302 is to be rotated, the player is immediately rotated when the player participation type production is executed. The operation unit 302 can be rotated, and the operation of the rotation operation unit 302 can entertain the player-participation-type production and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, the diameter of the rotation operation unit 302 is made larger than the distance in the front-rear direction of the upper plate 201, and the diameters of the upper plate center upper decoration body 312a and the plate center lower decoration body 312b are made larger than the rotation operation unit 302. In the plate unit 200 of the pachinko machine 1, the front end side of the rotation operation unit 302, the plate center upper decorative body 312a, and the plate center lower decorative body 312b is in a state of protruding more forward than the upper plate 201, and is on the plate center. Since the decorative body 312a and the plate center lower decoration body 312b are in a state of decorating the outer periphery of the rotation operation unit 302, the rotation operation unit 302, the plate center upper decoration body 312a, and the plate center lower decoration body 312b should be greatly conspicuous. At the same time, the appearance around the rotation operation unit 302 can be improved by the decorative body 312a on the center of the plate and the decorative body 312b on the lower center of the plate. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the pachinko machine 1 is different from other pachinko machines at first glance, and it is possible to strongly attract the interest of the player and appeal to the player. This makes it easier to select the pachinko machine 1 as a pachinko machine to play.

By being tightened together with the guide main body 502a, it can be attached to the guide main body 502a.

The connection cable guide member 502 of the main body frame 4 is assembled in the pachinko machine 1 and the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4. Behind the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub-relay board 105 of the door frame 3. (See FIG. 84 (a)). In this state, after the connection cable 503 extends to the left from the connection cable guide member 502, it is bent back in front of the lower hinge mounting portion 501l and passes through the cable holder 103a of the door frame 3 to cover the door frame relay board. It extends into 107. The cable holder 103a of the door frame 3 is arranged to the left of the left end of the connection cable guide member 502.

In this state, when the door frame 3 is hinged to open with respect to the main body frame 4, the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 is pulled forward by the side of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3. The connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the rightmost mounting shaft 502c. At this time, in the present embodiment, the relationship between the opening angle α of the door frame 3 and the opening angle β of the connecting cable guide member 502 satisfies α / 2 ≧ β (preferably α / 3 ≧ β). (See FIG. 84 (b)).

The opening angle β of the connecting cable guide member 502 is 0 degrees when the door frame 3 is closed (when the opening angle α of the door frame 3 is 0 degrees). The opening angle β of the connecting cable guide member 502 increases as the opening angle α increases when the door frame 3 is opened, but the increase stops when the opening angle α becomes larger than a certain level (for example, about 90 degrees). It changes like this. In the present embodiment, the maximum opening angle β is set to be less than 45 degrees.

In this way, when the door frame 3 is opened, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates so that the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 moves forward of the main body frame base 501, so that the connection cable guide member 502 By guiding the connection cable 503, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 from hanging between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4.

When the open door frame 3 is closed, the portion of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3 moves relatively rearward, so that the connection cable 503 presses the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 rearward. Then, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the mounting shaft 502c so that the left end side moves rearward. At this time, since the connecting cable guide member 502 is opened at an opening angle β of less than 45 degrees, the connecting cable guide member 502 does not hinder the movement of the door frame 3 in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 is opened. It can be closed smoothly. Further, since the connection cable 503 is guided by the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is not sandwiched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 when the door frame 3 is closed, and the connection cable 503 is not sandwiched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4. It is possible to prevent a problem from occurring in the door.

Further, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 guided by the connection cable guide member 502 is folded back 180 degrees, so that the connection cable 503 is folded back at the folded portion. You can make a habit. As a result, when the door frame 3 is opened and the portion of the connecting cable 503 that is folded 180 degrees is changed to open, a force that tries to close the connecting cable 503 due to the folding habit acts. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) from moving in the opening direction due to the bending habit, and the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) is closed. It can be guided in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be closed smoothly.

Further, on the door frame 3 side, the folded connection cable 503 is placed closer to the central axis (axis core) of the hinge pin 122 above the door frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame than the tip of the connection cable guide member 502. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 held by the cable holder 103a causes the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 to be held by the hinge pin 122 on the door frame and the hinge pin 122 on the door frame. It can be pulled toward the central axis (axis core) side of the hinge pin 126 under the door frame.

Further, in the present embodiment, the door passes through the rotation center of the connection cable guide member 502, is centered on the central axis (axis core) of the hinge pin 122 above the door frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame, and is more door than the cable holder 103a in the speaker duct 103. The angle at which the tangent line in contact with the circle passing through the portion (pressing portion) protruding rearward on the central axis (axis core) side of the upper hinge pin 122 and the lower hinge pin 126 of the door frame intersects with the front surface of the main body frame 4 is 45 degrees. It is configured as follows. As a result, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the pressing portion abuts on the connection cable 503, thereby closing the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 that is open via the connection cable 503. Since it can be pressed in the direction, the connection cable guide member 502 can be smoothly closed as the door frame 3 moves in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be reliably closed. Further, since the maximum opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 that rotates (opens and closes) with the opening and closing of the door frame 3 can be set to 45 degrees or less, the connection cable guide member 502 is used when the door frame 3 is closed. Can be reliably rotated in the closing direction, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

It is provided with a ball pulling lever 593 that is slidably attached in the vertical direction by the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582.

The payout device 580 is formed in a quadrangle whose plan view shape extends vertically. The width of the payout device 580 in the left-right direction is formed to be larger to the right in the front view than the width in the left-right direction of the ball guidance unit 570.

As shown in FIG. 89, the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 has an upstream end opening upward from the center in the left-right direction to the left and a downstream end near the right end in the left-right direction. It opens downward. The payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the top to a height of about 1/3 of the total height so as to gradually move to the left from the upstream end, and then bends slightly diagonally downward to the right. It bends at about 1/3 of the left and right width and extends substantially vertically downward toward the center (rotation axis) of the payout blade 589. Then, above the center of the payout blade 589, after bending to the right in the rear view with a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B, a gap slightly larger than the game ball B is provided between the payout blade 589 and the outer circumference. It extends downward in an arc shape concentric with the payout blade 589 so as to form, and then extends vertically downward to the downstream end at a position on the right side of the rear view from the center of the payout blade 589.

In the payout passage 580a, the payout detection sensor 591 is arranged below the payout blade 589 and directly above the downstream end.

The ball-extracting passage 580b branches at a portion of the payout passage 580a that extends diagonally downward from the upstream end and bends to the right, and extends vertically to the lower end along the left side of the rear view, in the rear view of the bottom surface. It opens downward near the left end.

The payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 face each other on the side where the ball pulling movable piece 592 is attached at the portion where the payout passage 580a and the ball pulling passage 580b are branched, and the outer diameter of the game ball B is opposed to each other. The main body side guide wall 581a is formed so as to project rearward and forward from each so as to form a narrower gap, and to be continuous with the left side wall in the rear view of the payout passage 580a and the ball ejection passage 580b, respectively. And a rear lid side guide wall 582a is provided. The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are rear view of the portion extending to the right side of the rear view at a height of about 1/3 from the top branching from the ball ejection passage 580b in the payout passage 580a. It is formed in the left position. The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are curved so as to be recessed diagonally upward to the left in the rear view, and are mainly formed to form a side wall of the ball pulling passage 580b. The ball pulling movable piece 592 rotates between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

The payout motor 584 is attached to the right side of the rear view of the portion of the payout device main body 581 where the payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the upstream end. The drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear member 588 are arranged in front of the payout device main body 581, and the front side is covered with the payout device front lid 583. The payout gear member 588 is provided with three flat plate-shaped detection pieces 588b extending outward at intervals of an angle of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction.

The payout blade 589 is arranged between the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582. The payout blade 589 is provided with a plurality of blade pieces 589a extending outward in a flat plate shape at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. The blade piece 589a is narrowed between the side wall of the payout passage and the side wall of the game ball B at a portion of the payout passage 580a that extends from above toward the rotation axis and then extends to the right in the rear view. In addition, it protrudes into the payout passage 580a. The payout blade 589 includes a ball accommodating portion 589b recessed between the three blade pieces 589a by an arc having a radius younger than the radius of the game ball B toward the center. Only one game ball B can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b. As a result, the payout blade 589 can be restricted from moving the game ball B in the payout passage 580a to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 by the blade piece 589a, and is rotated in the clockwise direction in the rear view. As a result, the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b can be moved to the downstream side.

The payout gear member 588 and the payout blade 589 are coaxially and integrally rotatably attached by the payout device rear lid 582 and the payout device front lid 583. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is arranged on the left side of the rotation shaft of the payout gear member 588 when viewed from the rear. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is for detecting the rotation of the payout blade 589 by detecting the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588 that rotates integrally with the payout blade 589.

The ball pulling movable piece 592 is rotatably attached around an axis extending back and forth at the upper ends of the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. The ball-extracting movable piece 592 is bent in a dogleg shape, and is attached so that the recessed side faces the inside of the payout passage 580a. The ball-extracting movable piece 592 is formed so that the depth in the front-rear direction is smaller than the gap between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. Through the gap between them, it is possible to project into the ball-extracting passage 580b or retreat to the outside of the ball-extracting passage 580b.

The ball pulling lever 593 is attached to the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction on the left side of the rear view near the upper end of the ball pulling movable piece 592. A part of the ball pulling lever 593 penetrates the rear lid 582 of the payout device and protrudes rearward, and can be slid by operating the protruding portion. By locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the descending end, the lower part can come into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the rotation of the ball pulling movable piece 592 in the clockwise direction in the rear view can be restricted. The ball pulling passage 580b can be closed by the ball pulling movable piece 592. Further, by locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the rising end, the ball pulling movable piece 592 can be rotated to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, and the ball pulling passage 580b can be opened (FIG. FIG. See 90).

When the ball pulling lever 593 is raised to make the ball pulling movable piece 592 rotatable, the game ball B, which has been in a state like a string of beads on the upstream side of the ball pulling movable piece 592, becomes a ball pulling movable piece 592. It will flow down to the ball pulling passage 580b side beyond the above. At this time, since the ball ejection passage 580b extends straight from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a, the game ball B flowing down from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a flows straight down to the ball ejection passage 580b side. At the same time, since the downstream side of the ball removal passage 580b communicates with the island equipment side, there is no such thing as the payout blade 589 that suppresses the flow of the game ball B, so that the game ball B is from the payout passage 580a side. Will flow down soon.

In this way, in the state where the ball pulling movable piece 592 can be rotated, the game ball B flows down in the ball pulling passage 580b at a high speed, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 projecting into the ball pulling passage 580b. The game ball B vigorously abuts on the lower end side of the ball, but the ball pulling movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a of the payout device main body 581 and the rear lid side guide wall 582a of the payout device rear lid 582. Since the ball pulling passage 580b can be moved to the outside of the inner surface, the ball pulling movable piece 592 moves to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b due to the contact force, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 is a ball. It is not sandwiched between the wall surface of the drawing passage 580b and the game ball B, and the game ball B can prevent a strong force from acting on the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the ball can be pulled out by the collision of the game ball B. It is possible to suppress a decrease in durability and damage of the piece 592.

For this reason, the movable ball-extracting piece 592 can be made less likely to be damaged, and more game balls B can be discharged to the island facility side on the downstream side of the ball-extracting passage 580b more quickly. It is possible to suppress an increase in the time required for replacement and maintenance of the machine 1, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side.

Further, when the ball pulling movable piece 592 is in a rotatable state, the ball pulling movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a at a narrower interval than the game ball B, and the ball pulling passage 580b. In order to move to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, the game ball B comes into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592 protruding into the ball pulling passage 580b, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 comes into contact with the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. Even if the game ball B moves to the side between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a together with the ball pulling movable piece 592 when moving outward through the space, the space is larger than that of the game ball B. Only the game ball B can be prevented from moving outward due to the narrow space between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

Then, the movement of the game ball B to the outside is blocked by the space between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, so that the game ball B is separated from the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the subsequent ball. Since the movement of the movable ball-pulling piece 592 is due to the inertial force, a strong force does not act on the movable ball-pulling piece 592, and the movable ball-pulling piece 592 can be made hard to be damaged, and the main body side guide The game ball B does not jump out of the ball pulling passage 580b from between the wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the game ball B can be reliably distributed to the downstream side of the ball pulling passage 580b.

As a result, the game ball B discharged downward from the upper normal payout passage 600c circulates in the lower normal payout passage 610a, and the game ball B discharged downward from the upper full tank payout passage 600d circulates in the lower full tank payout passage 610b. The game ball B discharged downward from the upper ball pulling passage 600e will circulate in the lower ball pulling passage 610c.

Further, in the state where the lower full tank path unit 610 is assembled in the pachinko machine 1, the front end (downstream end) of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b penetrates the foul cover unit 150 in the door frame 3. It opens immediately after the ball passage 150a and the full ball receiving port 150b. Further, the downstream end of the lower ball pulling passage 610c is opened so as to face the ball pulling guide portion 627 which is opened to the left in the base unit 620b of the substrate unit 620.

In the normal state (the state in which the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4), the lower full tank path unit 610 has the operating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 in contact with the door opening / closing contact of the foul cover unit 150. By abutting against the portion 150f, it rotates in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front against the urging force of the closing spring 614. As a result, the openings at the downstream ends of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are open, and communicate with the penetrating ball passage 150a and the full tank receiver 150b of the foul cover unit 150. It is in a state.

On the other hand, when the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the operating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is separated from the door opening / closing contact portion 150f of the foul cover unit 150, and the payout passage opening / closing door 613 Is rotated in the clockwise direction in the front view by the urging force of the closing spring 614, and the openings at the downstream ends of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are closed. In this state, the game balls B in the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b cannot move forward from their respective front end openings. As a result, even if the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the game ball B does not spill from the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b.

[4-7e. Flow of game balls in the payout unit]
Subsequently, the flow of the game ball B in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 92. The payout unit 560 is attached to the rear surface of the payout base 551 when assembled on the main body frame 4. In a normal state, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is located at the descending end, and the ball pulling passage 580b branching from the payout passage 580a is closed at the branch portion. Further, in the lower full tank path unit 610, the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is in the open state.

In the ball tank 552 opened upward, a predetermined number of balls are detected by the ball cutting detection sensor 574 of the ball guidance unit 570 from the game hall island facility in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The game ball B is supplied. The game balls B supplied and stored in the ball tank 552 are sent into the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 through the guide passage 570a of the ball guide unit 570 in a state of being aligned in a row by the tank rail 553. When the payout motor 584 is not rotating, the game ball B cannot move (flow down) to the downstream side of the payout blade 589, and a plurality of game balls B stay on the upstream side of the payout blade 589. It becomes.

Then, the game ball B in the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 presses the movable piece member 573, and the ball cutting detection sensor 574 detects the movable piece member 573. From this, it can be seen that the game ball B is stored in the passage between at least the movable piece member 573 and the payout blade 589.

In this state, when the payout blade 589 is rotated in the rear view clockwise direction by the payout motor 584, the game ball B housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b moves in the rear view clockwise direction, and the payout blade in the payout passage 580a It is released to the downstream side of 589. Then, the game ball B released from the payout blade 589 (ball accommodating portion 589b) is sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full tank ball path unit 600 after being detected by the payout detection sensor 591.

The game ball B sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full tank path unit 600 is arranged directly under the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a through the upper ball storage passage 600b in a normal state. It flows down to the upper normal payout passage 600c. Then, the game ball B that has flowed down into the upper normal payout passage 600c passes through the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full tank path unit 610 and the through ball passage 150a of the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3, and the plate unit 200. Is discharged from the upper plate ball supply port 211a of the plate unit base 211 into the upper plate 201.

When a large number of game balls B are paid out from the payout device 580 and the inside of the upper plate 201 is filled with the game balls B, the game balls B cannot be discharged forward from the upper plate ball supply port 211a, so that the payout device The game ball B paid out from the 580 stays in the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full tank path unit 610, and when the game ball B is further paid out, the lower normal payout passage 610a and the upstream side It will also stay in the upper normal payout passage 600c of the upper full tank path unit 600 that communicates. Then, when the game ball B is further discharged while the upper normal payout passage 600c is filled with the game ball B, the upper normal payout passage 600c is connected to the upper ball storage passage 600b on the upstream side. As the game ball B begins to stay, the game ball B begins to flow down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d adjacent to the upper normal payout passage 600c.

Then, the game ball B that has flowed down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d passes through the lower full tank payout passage 610b of the lower full tank path unit 610, and the full tank receiver 150b in the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3 Can be received by. After that, the game ball B received by the full tank ball receiving port 150b is discharged into the lower plate 202 through the storage passage 150e, the ball discharge port 150d, and the lower plate ball supply port 211c of the plate unit base 211. As a result, when the upper plate 201 is filled with the game balls B and the game balls B are further paid out, the game balls B can be automatically paid out to the lower plate 202.

When the lower plate 202 is filled with the game ball B and the game ball B cannot be discharged forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, the lower plate B is further paid out. The game ball B is retained and stored in the storage passage 150e of the foul cover unit 150 on the upstream side of the ball supply port 211c. When a certain number of game balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the movable piece 153 moves and is detected by the full tank detection sensor 154, and the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are filled with the game balls B ( The player is informed that the tank is full), and the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580 is temporarily stopped until the full tank detection sensor 154 becomes a non-detection state.

When the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 is discharged from the pachinko machine 1 during maintenance or replacement of the pachinko machine 1, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is moved upward from the position of the lowering end. Slide it to the position of the rising end. After that, the lower end side of the ball pulling movable piece 592 is pushed by the game ball B and rotates in the clockwise direction in the rear view, and the ball pulling movable piece 592 becomes the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. It is in a state of being pushed out to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b through the space. As a result, the game ball B can enter the ball removal passage 580b branching from the payout passage 580a, and the game ball B on the upstream side is discharged downward through the ball removal passage 580b.

At this time, at the portion of the ball pulling movable piece 592, the flowing game ball B comes into contact with the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a more strongly than the ball pulling movable piece 592, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 Is hard to break.

Then, the game ball B discharged downward from the ball pulling passage 580b of the payout device 580 passes through the upper ball pulling passage 600e of the upper full tank path unit 600 and the lower ball pulling passage 610c of the lower full ball path unit 610. After being discharged from the downstream end opening of the lower ball ejection passage 610c to the ball ejection guiding portion 627 of the substrate unit 620, it passes through the ejection ball receiving portion 628 and the ball ejection port 629 to the rear outside (game hole) of the pachinko machine 1. It is discharged to the island facility side).

[4-8. Board unit]
The substrate unit 620 in the main body frame 4 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 93 to 97 and the like.

The speaker unit 620a has a speaker cover 621 mounted below the game board mounting portion 501c on the rear surface of the main body frame base 501 of the main body frame base unit 500, and the speaker unit 621 faces forward near the left end of the front view on the rear surface of the speaker cover 621. It is provided with a main body frame speaker 622 attached to the main body frame speaker 622, and a container-shaped speaker box 623 attached to the rear side of the speaker cover 621 so as to cover the rear side of the main body frame speaker 622 and opened forward. ..

The speaker cover 621 extends in the left-right direction, penetrates back and forth near the left end of the front view, and has a circular speaker mounting portion 621a formed by a plurality of slits extending vertically, and the front surface of the speaker mounting portion 621a. The space front recess 621b, which is recessed so as to bulge from the rear to the front on the right side of the view, and the space front recess 621b, which protrudes downward from the lower surface and extends in the left-right direction, diagonally downward and backward. It includes an open connection portion 621c.

The main body frame speaker 622 is attached to the speaker mounting portion 621a of the speaker cover 621 from the rear side toward the front. Further, the connection portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees so that the lower end coincides with the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43a of the curtain plate rear member 43 in the outer frame lower assembly 40 of the outer frame 2. .. The main body frame speaker 622 is a cone-type speaker that mainly outputs bass.

The speaker box 623 is formed in a container shape that is open to the front, and the portion on the rear side of the main body frame speaker 622 protrudes most rearward. It is formed so that the protrusion of the speaker is small. As a result, a sufficient space behind the center of the front view of the speaker box 623 can be secured, and the base unit 620b, the power supply unit 620c, and the like can be arranged. The speaker box 623 is formed so as to cover (close) the entire rear surface of the speaker cover 621 except for the connecting portion 621c.

The speaker unit 620a is formed by a speaker cover 621 and a speaker box 623 as a part of an enclosure 624 for containing the sound output rearward from the main body frame speaker 622. Since the enclosure 624 has a front recess 621b for space that bulges forward to the right of the front view of the speaker mounting portion 621a in the speaker cover 621, the speaker box 623 projects rearward as it moves to the right.

FIG. 100 is an enlarged view showing an enlarged upper part in a perspective view of the main body frame viewed from behind. FIG. 101 (a) is a perspective view seen from the front upper side in a state where a tank rail or the like is assembled on a ball tank, and FIG. 101 (b) is a perspective view seen from the front lower side of (a). FIG. 102 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 101 (a) as viewed from the front. FIG. 103 is an explanatory diagram showing a region in the upper part of the main body frame where game balls overflowing from the ball tank circulate. FIG. 104 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of the game ball overflowing from the ball tank at the upper part of the main body frame. FIG. 105 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of the game ball to the detour passage in the upper part of the main body frame. FIG. 106 is an enlarged view showing the vicinity of the tank rail in an enlarged perspective view of the main body frame viewed from behind on the hinge side.

As described above, the main body frame 4 has a rear portion that can be inserted into the frame of the outer frame 2, and is removable and hinged to the outer frame 2 by the main body frame upper hinge member 510 and the main body frame lower hinge assembly 520. A frame-shaped main frame base 501 that is rotatably attached to support the outer periphery of the game board 5, and an inverted L-shaped base that is attached along the upper side and the left side of the front view on the rear side of the main body frame base 501. The payout base 551, the ball tank 552 attached to the payout base 551 and open upward in a box shape (container shape) extending to the left and right, and the ball tank 552 attached to the left side of the ball tank 552 and opened upward. The tank rail 553 extending to the left in a groove shape, the first rail cover 554 attached to a part of the upper end of the tank rail 553, and the tank rail separated from the first rail cover 554 to the left in the front view. The second rail cover 555 attached to the upper end of the 553, the ball rectifying member 556 attached to the upper end of the tank rail 555 at a position between the first rail cover 554 and the second rail cover 555, and the tank rail 553. A ball stop member 557 attached to the downstream end of the ball, and a payout device 580 attached to the downstream side of the tank rail 553 on the rear side of the payout base 551 to pay out the game ball B to the player side. It has.

The ball tank 552 has a bottom wall 552a which is formed in a quadrangle whose plan view extends in the left-right direction and is inclined so that the left side is lowered in the front view, and the bottom wall 552a from the front side and the rear side, respectively. It has a front wall 552b and a rear wall 552c extending upward, and a left side wall 552d and a right side wall 552e extending upward from both the left and right sides of the bottom wall 552a, respectively, and is formed in a container shape with the upper side open. Has been done. The ball tank 552 stores game balls B supplied from island facilities such as a game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

Further, the ball tank 552 has an overflow portion 552f which is notched from above in the front wall 552b and is formed lower than the remaining outer peripheral upper end edge. The overflow portion 552f has a length of about 3/4 of the lateral length of the front wall 552b from the end side of the left side wall 552d of the front wall 552b toward the end on the opposite side (right side wall 552e side). It is formed over the length.

In front view, the right end side (upstream side) of the tank rail 553 communicates with the inside of the ball tank 552, and the downstream side extends to one side (left side) in the left-right direction so as to move away from the ball tank 552. .. The tank rail 553 has a gutter-shaped main guide portion 553a that extends from the vicinity of the upstream to the downstream end at the bottom and is formed so that only one game ball B can be distributed in the width direction orthogonal to the distribution direction of the game ball B. Have. The main guide portion 553a is inclined so as to be lowered toward the left side of the front view. Further, in the plan view, the main guide portion 553a extends from the right end to a position of about 1/10 of the total length in the left-right direction in parallel with the axis extending in the left-right direction from the right end side, and then moves to the left. It is formed in a crank shape that extends diagonally from the right end to a position of about 4/10 of the total length in the left-right direction so as to move backward as it goes toward it, and extends parallel to the axis line extending in the left-right direction to the left end. .. In the tank rail 553, a portion of the main guide portion 553a extending parallel to the axis extending from the left end to the right in the left-right direction extends to the upper end with the same width, and the first rail extends to the upper end of this portion. The upper side is closed by attaching the cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556. Further, the tank rail 553 is formed so that the height of the flow path through which the game ball B flows becomes lower toward the downstream end (left end) at the portion where the upper side is closed, and the game ball B is formed at the downstream end. Is formed at a height at which only one can be distributed (a height slightly higher than the outer diameter of the game ball B).

Further, the tank rail 553 extends above the main guide portion 553a from the upstream end to a portion where the upper side is closed, and the main game balls B are arranged in the width direction orthogonal to the distribution direction of the game balls B. It has a bulging portion 553b that bulges wider than the width of the guiding portion 553a and narrows in the width direction from the upstream end to the downstream side so as to match the width of the main guiding portion 553a. There is. With this bulging portion 553b, a plurality of game balls B that have spread in the width direction on the upstream side can be aligned so that the width direction becomes the width of one game ball B toward the downstream side. Further, the bulging portion 553b is formed so that the width direction becomes narrower from the upper end side toward the lower main guiding portion 553a. Therefore, the tank rail 553 can align the plurality of game balls B circulating in the bulging portion 553b so that the width directions are aligned in the downstream side and the downward side.

The bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 has the center of curvature arranged on the inner side, and is formed in a three-dimensionally curved shape. Since the center of the curved curvature of the bulging portion 553b is arranged above the main guiding portion 553a, the tank rail 553 has a slight boundary between the main guiding portion 553a and the bulging portion 553b. Chamfered corners are formed. Further, the bulging portion 553b is formed to have a larger curvature on the downstream side than on the upstream side. For this reason, in the game ball B flowing through the three-dimensionally curved bulging portion 553b, the direction in which the reaction force from the bulging portion 553b side acts depends on the position of the bulging portion 553b that abuts. It changes in various directions, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball shavings in the bulging portion 553b. More specifically, when the bulging portion 553b is formed into a shape that extends constantly, a reaction force always acts in a constant direction from the inner surface of the bulging portion 553b on the game ball B circulating in the bulging portion 553b. Since the reaction force is difficult to disperse, the internal game ball B is always pushed in a certain direction, so that the game ball B is difficult to escape and ball clogging (ball shaving) is likely to occur. On the other hand, since the bulging portion 553b has a three-dimensional curved surface, the direction of the reaction force acting from the inner surface of the bulging portion 553b varies depending on the position of the game ball B, so that the inside is distributed. By dispersing the pushing directions of the plurality of game balls B, the pushed game balls B can be easily escaped, and ball clogging (ball shavings) can be less likely to occur.

Further, the tank rail 553 is made of a transparent material and is configured so that the inside can be visually recognized from the outside. As a result, even if ball clogging (ball gall) occurs in the tank rail 553, the state of the game ball B in the tank rail 553 can be seen from the outside, so that the place where the ball is clogged can be quickly identified. can do. Therefore, since the ball clogging in the tank rail 553 can be quickly cleared, the interruption of the game due to the occurrence of the ball clogging can be shortened as much as possible, and the player's interest in the game due to the interruption of the game. The decrease can be suppressed. Further, since the tank rail 553 is made transparent, the rear side (back unit 3000) of the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4 can be visually recognized from the rear through the tank rail 553, so that the game board 5 can be visually recognized. When a movable defect occurs in the movable production unit or the like, the status of the transmission mechanism such as the drive motor, gears and belts can be checked with the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4, and the same as above. Can produce the effects of.

The main body frame 4 is provided on the front side of the ball tank 552, extends in the front-rear direction, and the same side (left side in the front view) as the downstream side of the tank rail 553 in the left-right direction is outside the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552. In order to return the game ball B, which extends to the left (left) and overflows forward from the ball tank 552, to the ball tank 552, the rear end side is inclined so as to be the same height as the overflow portion 552f and the front end side is higher. It extends rearward from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 at the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501 m and the overflow surface portion 501 m to the upper side of the bulging portion 553b where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is open, and the rear end side is low. A part of the game ball B that overflows from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m because it is tilted so that the side (left side) away from the ball tank 552 is lowered in the left-right direction. It is equipped with a detour passage 552 g for guiding the vehicle.

Further, the main body frame 4 is provided on the side opposite to the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 on both outer sides of the detour passage 552 g in the left-right direction, and the distance in the left-right direction is wider than the outer diameter of the game ball and is on the bottom surface. It is provided at a position lower than the overflow surface portion 501 m on the opposite side of the detour passage 552 g with the discharge portion 551j whose height is lower than the portion where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is open and the discharge portion 551j. It covers the upper side of an external terminal plate 558 having a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a to which electrical wiring can be connected from the rear and a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a (external terminal plate 558), and the upper surface is an overflow surface portion. It is provided with a terminal cover 551k that extends horizontally at a position higher than 501 m.

The overflow surface portion 501 m is formed on the main body frame base 501. The overflow surface portion 501 m has a flat plate shape from a position lower than the outer diameter of the game ball B by a distance of 2 to 4 times from the upper side on the rear surface of the base body 501a, which is formed in a rectangular shape with a front view extending vertically. It extends to. The overflow surface portion 501 m is formed so that the length in the left-right direction is about 1/3 of the length in the left-right direction of the main body frame base 501, and the left end in the front view is from the left end of the main body frame base 501. It is located to the right of 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction. The height of the overflow surface portion 501 m from the front end to the rear end is formed to be about ½ of the outer diameter of the game ball B. In the overflow surface portion 501 m, a gap is formed between the main body frame 4 and the outer frame upper member 30 at a distance of about twice the outer diameter of the game ball B in a state where the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. ..

The main body frame base 501 is arranged on both the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501 m, and has a flat plate-shaped left step portion 501n and a right step portion 501o extending substantially horizontally at the same height as the front end of the overflow surface portion 501 m. The upper ends of the left-stage portion 501n and the right-stage portion 501o are higher than those of the left-stage portion 501n and the right-stage portion 501o on both lateral sides in the left-right direction, and extend in the front-rear direction in a strip shape. It has a plurality of ribs 501p, which are arranged in rows at intervals narrower than the diameter. The left-stage portion 501n is formed so that the length in the left-right direction is shorter than the length in the front-rear direction. Further, the left step portion 501n is inclined so that the right corner at the rear end is slightly lower than the horizontal plane in the front view. The right-stage portion 501o is formed to have a longer length in the left-right direction than a length in the front-rear direction. Further, the right step portion 501o is inclined so that the left corner at the rear end is slightly lower than the horizontal plane in the front view.

The plurality of ribs 501p of the main body frame base 501 are formed higher than the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, and when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the lower surface of the outer frame upper member 30 of the outer frame 2 is formed. The gap between the ball and the ball B is formed at a height that is narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B.

When the main body frame base 501 is assembled to the main body frame 4, the right end of the overflow surface portion 501 m coincides with the right end of the overflow portion 552f in the ball tank 552 in the left-right direction and the overflow surface portion 501 m. The left end of the detour passage 552g coincides with the left end in the left-right direction, and the right end of the right step portion 501o coincides with the right end wall 552e of the ball tank 552 in the left-right direction.

The detour passage 552 g is integrally formed with the ball tank 552. In the following, the container-shaped region surrounded by the bottom wall 552a, the front wall 552b, the rear wall 552c, the left side wall 552d, and the right side wall 552e is also simply referred to as a ball tank 552. The detour passage 552g extends from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 to the left in a flat plate shape, and the front end is the same height as the overflow portion 552f and the rear end is inclined so as to be low. And a weir portion extending upward from the end side of the passage surface 552h opposite to the left side wall 552d to the same height as the left side wall 552d. Regarding the rear end side of the passage surface 552h of the detour passage 552g, the left end side (weir portion 552i side) of the rear end side extends rearward to the same position as the rear wall 552c of the ball tank 552 in front view, and the left end side thereof. It extends diagonally so that it moves forward toward the right end side. The passage surface 552h of the detour passage 552g may be inclined in the left-right direction horizontally.

The detour passage 552g is assembled on the main body frame 4 so that the rear end of the tank rail 553 extending in a crank shape in the left-right direction is along the front end side of the portion extending diagonally in the left-right direction. It is extending. That is, the rear end of the detour passage 552 g extends diagonally in the left-right direction. As a result, the game ball B guided backward by the detour passage 552 g changes so that its distribution direction is perpendicular to the oblique rear end from the oblique rear end. The diagonally extending rear end of the detour passage 552g extends substantially parallel to the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 (the distribution direction of the game ball B in the tank rail 553). Therefore, since the game ball B is discharged from the rear end of the detour passage 552 g in a direction substantially perpendicular to the distribution direction (width direction) of the tank rail 553, the detour passage 552 g is discharged at a wide portion of the tank rail 553. You can receive the game ball B from. Further, since the game ball B is supplied from the detour passage 552 g into the tank rail 553 in a direction substantially perpendicular (perpendicular direction) to the distribution direction of the game ball B, the tank rail by the game ball B from the detour passage 552 g. It is possible to make it difficult for ball clogging in 553 to occur.

Since the rear end of the detour passage 552g extends diagonally in the left-right direction so as to move backward toward the downstream side of the tank rail 553, the game ball B moves from the detour passage 552g to the tank rail 553 side. When released, the diagonally extending rear end allows the game ball B to be discharged to the upstream side, which is wider than the downstream side, where the width of the tank rail 553 is narrower. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball shavings in the tank rail 553 by discharging it to a wide part of the tank rail.

Further, the portion for guiding the game ball B by the detour passage 552g corresponds to the rear portion of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 and the outside of the left portion in the front view of the rear wall 552c in the tank rail 553. A game ball B that goes under the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 (the ceiling side of the opening 552k) is distributed from the inside of the ball tank 552 to this portion. For this reason, at the portion of the tank rail 553 behind the detour passage 552 g, the height of the plurality of game balls B stacked in the vertical direction is the height of the ceiling of the opening 552 k (the wall of the tank rail 553). Height) will not be exceeded. Therefore, on the downstream side of the ball tank 552 in the tank rail 553, that is, on the rear end side of the detour passage 552 g, it is possible to secure a space (vacant space) in which the game balls B can be stacked upward, so that the detour passage 552 g The game ball B guided to the rear can be reliably received by the tank rail 553, and the game ball B does not spill backward from the tank rail 553.

The ball tank 552 has a flat plate shape extending to the right from a position slightly lower than the overflow portion 552f on the left side wall 552d on the inside surrounded by the front wall 552b, the rear wall 552c, and the left side wall 552d. It has a guide surface portion 552j. The guide surface portion 552j extends in the front-rear direction from the front wall 552b to the rear wall 552c. Further, the guide surface portion 552j has a right end side in the front view from a position of about 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction of the front wall 552b from the left end of the front wall 552b in the left-right direction from the left end of the front wall 552b to the front wall 552b. Approximately 1/9 of the total length extends diagonally backward from the front wall 552b to a position near about 1/2 of the total length in the front-rear direction of the left side wall 552d, and then extends parallel to the left side wall 552d to the vicinity of the rear wall 552c. From there, it is formed in a shape parallel to the rear wall 552c with a constant width in the front-rear direction and extending from the left end of the rear wall 552c to a position of about 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction of the rear wall 552c.

In the ball tank 552, in a plan view, a straight line connecting the right end side of the guide surface portion 552j formed in the above shape, the front wall 552b side end of the right end side, and the rear wall 552c side end. The region surrounded by and has an opening 552k formed so as to penetrate in the vertical direction. Further, the ball tank 552 is a flat plate-shaped flange extending laterally outwardly and vertically on the same surface as the front wall 552b on the front end side of the right side wall 552e and the front end side of the weir portion 552i of the detour passage 552 g, respectively. It has a portion 552 liters. In the ball tank 552, the height of the upper end edge of the front wall 552b excluding the overflow portion 552f and the upper end edge of the two flange portions 552l is the upper end edge of the left side wall 552d and the rear wall 552c (main body frame base 501). It is formed higher than the left step portion 501n and the upper surface of the right step portion 501o).

When the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are assembled from each other, the upstream end (right end in the front view) of the tank rail 553 is connected to the opening 552k of the ball tank 552. Further, in a plan view, the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape and the portion extending straight in the left-right direction on the left side thereof are located rearward (protruding) from the ball tank 552. )doing. The rear end side of the detour passage 552g on the left side of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 is located at the front end of the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape.

The discharge portion 551j is formed on the upper surface of the payout base 551. In the state of being assembled to the main body frame 4, the discharge portion 551j is in the ball tank 552 so as to step backward from a height lower than the detour passage 552 g to the same height as the bottom wall 552a of the ball tank 552. After extending backward from the rear side of the flange portion 552l on the left side of the front view to the tank rail 553, a position higher than the upper end of the tank rail 553 to the left along the tank rail 553 (center in the left-right direction of the second rail cover 555). It extends to a nearby position) and then extends backward.

The external terminal plate 558 is attached with a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a arranged side by side in the left-right direction on the rear surface. The electric wire connection terminal 558a is a one-touch terminal in which the grip portion can be opened by operating the lever to grip the tip of the electric wiring. The external terminal plate 558 is arranged in front of the portion closed by the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556 on the upper side of the tank rail 553 in the state of being assembled to the main body frame 4. .. The terminal cover 551k that covers the upper side of the external terminal plate 558 (a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a) is formed on the upper surface of the payout base 551. The upper surface of the terminal cover 551k is formed at substantially the same height as the upper end of the flange portion 552l of the ball tank 552.

Next, the action and effect of the upper part of the main body frame 4 in the pachinko machine 1 will be described. First, the overflow surface portion 501m, the left step portion 501n, the right step portion 501o, and the detour passage 552g are such that the overflow surface portion 501m and the detour passage 552g are lower on the rear end side as shown by the white arrows in FIG. The left-stage portion 501n is inclined so that the rear end right corner is lowered, and the right-stage portion 501o is inclined so that the rear end left corner is lowered. Further, the bottom wall 552a and the tank rail 553 (main guide portion 553a) of the ball tank 552 are inclined so that the left end side is lower in the front view. Further, the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is inclined so that the right end side in the direction opposite to the bottom wall 552a is lower.

Then, when the amount of the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 increases due to the supply from the island facility, first of all, the overflow portion 552f, which is the lowest of the uppermost edges of the outer circumference, is exceeded. It can flow out to the outside (front) of the ball tank 552, and the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 can escape to the overflow surface portion 501 m, and also flow out from the ball tank 552 to the front overflow surface portion 501 m. The game ball B can be returned to the ball tank 552 by tilting the overflow surface portion 501 m (see FIG. 104). Therefore, since it is possible to prevent the game balls B from further increasing in the ball tank 552, it is possible to suppress the strong pressing of the game balls B against each other (increase in the ball pressure) in the ball tank 552. , It is possible to prevent the occurrence of clogging (so-called ball shavings) due to the engagement of the game balls B in the ball tank 552.

Further, since the detour passage 552 g is provided, as shown in FIG. 105, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B accumulated in the overflow surface portion 501 m from exerting a strong backward pressing force on the game ball B in the ball tank 552, and the game ball B in the ball tank 552 is clogged. Can be prevented. Further, since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m can be prevented from spilling to the outside (rear side) of the main body frame 4. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a problem that the game ball B spilled on the outside of the main body frame 4 is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 and the main body frame 4 cannot be opened or closed.

Further, a part of the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m can be guided to the downstream side of the tank rail 553 by the detour passage 552 g, and along the left side away from the ball tank 552. Since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 from a fixed position, the flow (pressure) of the game ball B sent to the tank rail 553 by the detour passage 552 g can be directed to the downstream side of the tank rail 553. , It is possible to prevent the game balls B from being clogged by suppressing the strong pressing of the game balls B against each other in the tank rail 553.

Further, since the height of the remaining upper end edge other than the overflow portion 552f is higher than that of the overflow portion 552f at the outer peripheral upper end edge of the ball tank 552, the ball between the ball tank 552 and the detour passage 552g. The upper end edge of the left side wall 552d on one side in the left-right direction of the tank 552 is higher than the overflow portion 552f, that is, the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501 m. As a result, the game ball B, which overflows from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m beyond the overflow portion 552 f and is distributed from the overflow surface portion 501 m to the detour passage 552 g, is on the left side of one side of the ball tank 552. By being blocked by the wall 552d, it is possible to prevent the ball from returning from the detour passage 552 g to the ball tank 552 side, and the game ball B on the detour passage 552 g side presses the game ball B in the ball tank 552. It is possible to prevent the game ball B from being clogged in the tank 552.

Further, as described above, the upper end edge of the left side wall 552d between the ball tank 552 and the detour passage 552g is from the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501m (passage surface 552h in which the game ball B rolls in the detour passage 552g). It is possible to prevent the game ball B from overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the detour passage 552 g without passing through the overflow surface portion 501 m. As a result, the inflow of the game ball B from the side (ball tank 552) to the detour passage 552 g can be prevented, so that the flow of the game ball B in the detour passage 552 g is rearranged from the overflow surface portion 501 m on the front end side. The flow can be in a fixed direction toward the tank rail 553 on the end side, and the pressure of the game ball B guided from the detour passage 552 g to the tank rail 553 can be in a fixed direction. Therefore, in the tank rail 553, it is possible to prevent the game balls B from being pushed against each other and being bitten by the different directions of the pressure applied to the game balls B, and the game balls B are clogged. Can be prevented.

Further, since the bottom of the tank rail 553 is provided with the main guide portion 553a extending to the downstream end, the game balls B in the tank rail 553 reach the main guide portion 553a in a row in the left-right direction. Since the game balls B are arranged side by side, the game balls B in the tank rail 553 can be aligned, and the game balls B can be reliably guided to the payout device 580 on the downstream side. Further, since the tank rail 553 is provided with a wide bulging portion 553b in which a plurality of game balls B can be lined up in a portion where the upper side is open, the game released from the rear end of the detour passage 552 g. The ball B can be reliably received, and the above-mentioned action and effect can be reliably achieved.

Further, the bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 is extended from the upstream end to the portion where the upper side is closed, and the width direction is narrowed from the upstream end to the downstream side to match the width of the main guiding portion 553a. Since the game balls are changed so as to coincide with each other, as the plurality of game balls B move toward the downstream side in the bulge portion 553b, they can be aligned so as to form a line in the width direction. Further, since the portion of the tank rail 553 where the upper side is closed is formed so that the height of the flow path through which the game ball B flows decreases toward the downstream end, the upstream side (ball tank 552 side). By distributing a plurality of game balls B stacked in a plurality of stages in the height direction to the downstream side through a portion of the tank rail 553 where the upper side is closed, the number of stages in the height direction is reduced in a row. Can be aligned with. Therefore, the tank rail 553 can guide a plurality of game balls B to the downstream side (payout device 580 side) in a state of being aligned in a row.

Further, since the overflow surface portion 501 m and the detour passage 552 g are provided, it is possible to store a certain number of game balls B in them, and the tank rail 553 is provided with a bulge portion 553 b. Therefore, since the volume inside the tank rail 553 can be increased, more game balls B can be stored together with the ball tank 552.

Further, an external terminal plate 558 provided with a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a to which electrical wiring is connected and a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a on the opposite side of the ball tank 552 with the detour passage 552g and the discharge portion 551j in between. Since the terminal cover 551k that covers the upper side of the external terminal plate 558) is provided, the electric wire connection terminal 558a and the terminal cover 551k can be separated from the ball tank 552 to which the game ball B is supplied from the island facility. Therefore, even if the game ball B supplied from the island facility bounces or is vigorously supplied in the ball tank 552 or the overflow surface portion 501 m, it can be difficult to reach (contact) the electric wire connection terminal 558a or the like. , There is no problem such as short circuit or disconnection of the electric wiring due to the contact of the game ball B.

Further, since the plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a are directed rearward and the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k is higher than the overflow surface portion 501m, the game ball B supplied from the island facility to the ball tank 552 is the ball tank 552. Even if it bounces on the overflow surface portion 501 m, it can be made difficult to get on the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, and even if the game ball B gets on the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, it can be made difficult to fall from the rear side. It is possible to easily avoid the occurrence of such a problem.

Further, the game ball B returned from the overflow surface portion 501 m to the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is sent to the upstream side (to the right in FIG. 104) of the ball tank 552 due to the inclination of the guide surface portion 552j. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B on the guide surface portion 552j from pressing the game ball B in the ball tank 552 in the downstream direction, and the game ball B is clogged in the ball tank 552. Can be prevented.

Further, the game ball B supplied from the island facility to the ball tank 552 bounces on the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m, and rides on the left stage portion 501n and the right stage portion 501o on the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501 m. However, as shown in FIG. 104, the game ball B can be guided to the overflow surface portion 501 m and the detour passage 552 g by their inclination, and the game ball B spills on the outside of the main body frame 4, causing a problem. Can be prevented.

Further, since the game ball B is configured to pass under the guide surface portion 552j when the game ball B is distributed from the ball tank 552 to the tank rail 553 side, the game balls stacked on the upper side of the tank rail 552 by the guide surface portion 552j. The amount (height) of B can be regulated so as not to be higher than the lower surface of the guide surface portion 552j. Therefore, on the downstream side of the ball tank 552 (guide surface portion 552j) of the tank rail 553, that is, on the rear end side of the detour passage 552 g, it is possible to secure a space (vacant space) on which the game balls B can be stacked upward. , The game ball B guided by the detour passage 552 g can be reliably received.

Further, since the plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a and the terminal cover 551k are arranged in front of the portion where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is closed, even if the game ball B falls rearward from the terminal cover 551k, the game ball B can be dropped. The game ball B is not accepted by the tank rail 553, and it is possible to prevent the game ball B from affecting the game ball B in the tank rail 553 and causing a problem.

[5-8a. Starting port unit]
The start port unit 2100 of the table unit 2000 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 118 to 120 and the like. FIG. 118 (a) is a perspective view of the start port unit and the side unit in the front unit as viewed from the front, and FIG. 118 (b) is a perspective view of the start port unit and the side unit in the front unit as viewed from the rear. ) Is a left side view of the starting port unit, and (d) is a left side view of the side unit. FIG. 119 is an explanatory view comparing the inclination of the front surface of the general winning opening and the inclination of the door member of the variable winning opening in the open state. FIG. 120 is an enlarged front view showing the parts of the start port unit and the side unit in the game board. The start port unit 2100 of the front unit 2000 is arranged in the game area 5a near the lower end portion in the center in the left-right direction and directly above the out port 2010, and is attached to the game panel 1100 from the front. The start port unit 2100 has a first start port 2002 that is always open upward with a width that allows only one game ball B to be accepted.

The start port unit 2100 includes a front wall portion 2101 extending parallel to the surface of the game area 5a (game panel 1100), a peripheral wall portion 2102 extending rearward from the peripheral edge of the front wall portion 2101, and a peripheral wall portion 2102. It is provided with a flat plate-shaped flange portion 2103 extending outward from the middle in the front-rear direction, and is formed entirely of a transparent member. The front wall portion 2101 is formed in a shape in which the front view is a combination of a rectangular portion that is long to the left and right and a semicircular portion with the lower side of the rectangular portion as a chord. The peripheral wall portion 2102 extends rearward from the peripheral edge excluding the upper side of the front wall portion 2101, and is formed in a gutter shape with an open upper portion. The bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 is inclined so that the rear end side is lowered, and the game ball B can be guided backward.

The start port unit 2100 is attached to the panel plate 1110 in a state where the flange portion 2103 extending in the left-right direction from the middle of the peripheral wall portion 2102 is in contact with the front surface of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100. The start port unit 2100 has a first start port 2002 capable of receiving the game ball B by the front wall portion 2101 and the peripheral wall portion 2102 protruding forward from the panel plate 1110 in a state of being attached to the panel plate 1110. Is forming.

By attaching the start port unit 2100 to the game panel 1100, the first start port 2002 protrudes forward from the front surface of the game panel 1100 and is opened upward, so that the stage 2513 of the center accessory 2500 is opened. It is located just below the center of. Therefore, when the game ball B is discharged downward from the central discharge portion 2513a of the stage 2513, it is received by the first starting port 2002 with an extremely high probability.

The start port unit 2100 guides the game ball B received in the first start port 2002 to the rear of the game panel 1100 by the inclination of the gutter-shaped peripheral wall portion 2102 in a state of being attached to the game panel 1100, and the back unit 3000. It can be delivered to the first delivery port 3061 of the back guidance unit 3050 in the above. The game ball B delivered to the first delivery port 3061 of the back guidance unit 3050 is detected by the first start port sensor 3052 and then discharged onto the lower substrate holder 1200.

Although not shown, a decorative sticker is attached to the front surface of the front wall portion 2101, which is more conspicuous than the general winning opening 2001 of the side unit 2200. As a result, the player's attention can be directed to the first starting port 2002 rather than the general winning opening 2001, and the player can be encouraged to drive the game ball B aiming at the first starting port 2002. At the same time, by accepting the game ball B at the first starting port 2002, a special lottery result (first special lottery result) is drawn in which an advantageous game state occurs in which the player such as a "big hit" game is advantageous. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation for the special lottery result drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first starting port 2002, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest.

In this starting port unit 2100, the bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 that guides the game ball B rearward is inclined at a gentler angle (an angle close to horizontal) than the inclined portion of the first front wall portion 2203 of the side unit 2200. Therefore, the moving speed (rolling speed) of the game ball B in the rear direction is relatively slow. Therefore, when the game ball B is received in the first starting port 2002, the accepted game ball B can be seen for a longer time than the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001. It is possible to surely recognize that the game ball B has been accepted by the first starting port 2002, and at the same time, the joy (superiority complex) that the game ball B has been accepted by the first starting port 2002 can be expressed in the general winning opening 2001. It can be tasted for a longer time than when it was accepted.

Further, when the start port unit 2100 is assembled on the game board 5, as shown in FIG. 120, the back lower middle effect unit 3300 of the back unit 3000 is located rearward and is provided on the back lower middle effect unit 3300. Light from LEDs such as the first decorative substrate 3322 under the back and the second decorative substrate 3329 under the back of the lower back middle decorative body unit 3320 is used for light emission decoration.

Further, although detailed illustration is omitted, the starting port unit 2100 may be provided with ribs straddling the front wall portion 2101 and the bottom portion of the peripheral wall portion 2102 at the first starting port 2002. The ribs are formed in a triangular shape (which may be partially rounded) in a side view, and the upper surface is inclined from the right side of the side unit 2200 to the first front wall portion 2203 of the two general winning openings 2001. The distance to the upper end of the first front wall portion 2203 is longer than the distance from the upper end to the inclined portion of the first front wall portion 2203 of the side unit 2200 while inclining at substantially the same angle as the portion. (The position of the rib is lower than the inclined portion of the first front wall portion 2203). As a result, the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002 abuts on the rib and is guided backward, and the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 is in the first front wall portion 2203. It can be delayed from the timing at which it comes into contact with the inclined portion and is guided backward, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

[5-8b. Side unit]
The side unit 2200 in the table unit 2000 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 118 to 120 and the like. The side unit 2200 of the front unit 2000 extends along the inner rail 1002 on the left side of the start port unit 2100 in the game area 5a, and is attached to the game panel 1100 from the front. The side unit 2200 includes three general winning openings 2001 that are open so that the game ball B can be accepted at all times. The three general winning openings 2001 of the side unit 2200 are arranged in an arc shape along the inner rail 1002. The two general winning openings 2001 on the right side are open upwards, and the general winning openings 2001 on the left side are open toward the upper left.

The side unit 2200 has a flat base plate and a second second that extends from the base plate in the shape of a gutter and is inclined so that the front end moves backward as it goes downward. One gutter, the first front wall that closes the front end side of each of the two first gutters, and a gutter-shaped extension from the base plate to the left of the two first gutters. It is provided with a second guide gutter and a second front wall portion that closes the front end side of the second guide gutter. The side unit 2200 is entirely made of a transparent member.

The first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 have a U-shaped cross section. In the first guide gutter 2202, the U-shaped open portion is directed upward, and in the second guide gutter 2204, the U-shaped open portion is directed upward. The front end of the first guide gutter 2202 extends vertically on the upper side with a portion at a height of about 3/4 from the bottom as a boundary, and near the base plate 2201 so that the lower side moves backward as it goes downward. It extends diagonally to. Therefore, the first front wall portion 2203, which closes the front end side of the first guide gutter 2202, has a shape in which the lower side is bent rearward at a height of about 3/4 from the bottom.

The front end side of the second guide gutter 2204 is vertical. Therefore, the second front wall portion 2205 that closes the front end side of the second guide gutter 2204 extends vertically in parallel with the base plate 2201.

The side unit 2200 is attached to the panel plate 1110 in a state where the base plate 2201 is in contact with the front surface of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100. Then, the game ball B can be accepted by the portion of the first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 that protrudes forward from the panel plate 1110, and the first front wall portion 2203 and the second front wall portion 2205. It forms a general winning opening 2001. Further, when the side unit 2200 is attached to the panel plate 1110, a portion of the first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 that protrudes rearward from the base plate 2201 penetrates the opening 1112 of the panel plate 1110. As a result, it protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the panel plate 1110. The bottom surfaces of the first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 are inclined so as to be lowered toward the rear, and the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 can be guided backward.

When the side unit 2200 is assembled on the game board 5, the three general winning openings 2001 project forward from the front surface of the game panel 1100. The side unit 2200 guides the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 to the rear of the game panel 1100, and the second delivery port 3062, the third delivery port 3063, and the third delivery port 3063 of the back guidance unit 3050 in the back unit 3000. It can be delivered to any of the fourth delivery ports 3064. The game ball B delivered to any of the second delivery port 3062, the third delivery port 3063, and the fourth delivery port 3064 of the back guidance unit 3050 is detected by the general winning port sensor 3051 and then lowered. It is discharged onto the board holder 1200.

Unlike the starting port unit 2100, the side unit 2200 does not have a decorative sticker attached to the first front wall portion 2203 or the second front wall portion 2205 forming the front surface of the general winning opening 2001. It is less noticeable than the first starting port 2002. Since the front ends of the two general winning openings 2001 in the side unit 2200 are inclined, the three-dimensional effect of the general winning openings 2001 can be emphasized, and even if a decorative sticker is not attached to the front surface. , It doesn't look bad.

When the side unit 2200 is assembled on the game board 5, as shown in FIG. 120, the back lower left effect unit 3200 of the back unit 3000 is located behind, and the back lower left decoration of the back lower left effect unit 3200. The light from the LED of the substrate 3203 can be used for light emission decoration, and the lower back left rotation decoration body 3201 can be visually recognized in a good state. Further, since the side unit 2200 has a portion inclined to the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front ends of the two general winning openings 2001, the back unit 3000 has a lower left side depending on the portion. The light radiated forward from the lower left decorative substrate 3203 of the production unit 3200 can be reflected (or refracted) near the head of the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1, and the pachinko machine 1 can be used. You can improve the appearance.

In this side unit 2200, since the bent and diagonally extending portion of the first front wall portion 2203 is inclined at a steeper angle than the bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 of the starting port unit 2100, the side unit 2200 is relatively rearward. The moving speed (rolling speed) of the game ball B is increasing. The bottom surfaces of the first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 are inclined at substantially the same angle as the bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 in the starting port unit 2100. Therefore, when the game ball B is received in the general winning opening 2001, the received game ball B becomes invisible in a shorter time than the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002. As a result, it is possible to make the player surely recognize the acceptance of the game ball B into the general winning opening 2001, and to prevent the player's interest from being attracted to the general winning opening 2001 unnecessarily for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to easily direct the player's interest to other winning openings such as the next game ball B, the first starting opening 2002, the first major winning opening 2005, and the second major winning opening 2006. It is possible to entertain the game in the game area 5a and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

In other words, since the bent and diagonally extending portion of the first front wall portion 2203 of the side unit 2200 is inclined at a steeper angle than the bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 of the starting port unit 2100, the general winning opening 2001 The rolling speed of the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002 can be made slower than the rolling speed of the game ball B received in. Therefore, when the game ball B is received in the first starting port 2002, the accepted game ball B can be seen for a longer time than the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001. It is possible to surely recognize that the game ball B has been accepted by the first starting port 2002, and at the same time, the joy (superiority complex) that the game ball B has been accepted by the first starting port 2002 can be expressed in the general winning opening 2001. It can be tasted for a longer time than when it was accepted.

By the way, in the side unit 2200, since the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front ends of the two general winning openings 2001 is inclined, the first front wall portion 2203 is tilted from the side of the first guide gutter 2202. The game ball B can pass in front of the inclined portion of the game ball B. When the game ball B passes in front of the first front wall portion 2203, the game ball B appears to overlap the general winning opening 2001 when viewed from the front, so that the game ball B is accepted by the general winning opening 2001 depending on the player. If the game ball B is not paid out, the pachinko machine 1 and the game hall side may feel distrustful, which may reduce the interest in the game. On the other hand, in the side unit 2200 of the present embodiment, as described above, the inclined portion of the first front wall portion 2203 and the first guide gutter 2202 are accepted by the general winning opening 2001 and move backward. Since the guided game ball B can be visually recognized by the player for a short time, it is possible to recognize that the game ball B has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001. Therefore, even if it is illusion that the game ball B that has passed in front of the first front wall portion 2203 has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001, it can be immediately recognized as an illusion.

Further, in this side unit 2200, since a part of the game ball B can pass in front of the first front wall portion 2203, the game ball is in front of the first front wall portion 2203 of the general winning opening 2001. When B passes, if most of the game ball B (at least half or more of the game ball B) overlaps with the general winning opening 2001 in the front view, the game ball B becomes the general winning opening 2001 depending on the player. It is possible to make the player feel as if he / she was accepted and entertain the player. At this time, since a part of the game ball B does not overlap with the general winning opening 2001, it is not strongly recognized that the game ball B has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001, and it may be considered as an illusion. Therefore, even if the benefits (payment of game ball B and lottery of the first special lottery result) are not given after that, it is possible to avoid feeling distrust toward the pachinko machine 1 and the game hall side. It is possible to keep the player entertained and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, the side unit 2200 extends the front end of the leftmost (leftmost) general winning opening 2001 by the second front wall portion 2205 in parallel with the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110) among the three general winning openings 2001. The shape is similar to that of the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100. As a result, when the game ball B is received in the leftmost general winning opening 2001, it is possible for some players to have the illusion that the game ball B has been received in the starting opening. Then, even if the game ball B is accepted in the general winning opening 2001, which is an illusion that it is the starting opening, the lottery of the special lottery result is not performed, so that the pachinko machine 1 and the game hall side feel distrust. There is a fear. However, the general winning opening 2001 is provided at the left end of the side unit 2200 (a position that cannot be accepted by "right-handed") away from the first starting port 2002 in the center in the left-right direction to the left, and the second Since there is no decorative sticker attached to the front of the front wall 2205 to indicate the starting port, it is possible to reconfirm that it is not the starting port, and the player feels distrust and enjoys the game. It is possible to avoid lowering it.

Further, since the side unit 2200 has the front ends of the two general winning openings 2001 inclined, the amount of material required for the side unit 2200 is compared with the case where the front ends thereof are parallel to the surface of the game panel 1100. In addition to being able to reduce the cost of the pachinko machine 1, the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced because the decorative sticker is not attached to the front surface of the general winning opening 2001.

The angle of inclination from the horizontal on the first front wall portion 2203 of the side unit 2200 (general winning opening 2001) is not shown, but the variable winning openings such as the large winning opening and the accessory winning opening can be opened and closed. The winning opening door is larger than the horizontal inclination angle when the game ball B is rotated around the lower side so as to move forward so as to guide the game ball B to the winning opening side. It is an angle. More specifically, depending on the player, when the number of game balls B paid out by accepting the game ball B to the variable winning opening is larger than that of the general winning opening 2001, many of the game balls B to the variable winning opening are used. Will hope for a prize. Alternatively, even if the variable winning opening (large winning opening) has a specified number of winnings, the player will wish to win more than the specified number. Therefore, by making the inclination of the winning opening door of the variable winning opening gentler than that of the general winning opening 2001 (first front wall portion 2203), the speed of the game ball B rolling on the winning opening door is slow. Therefore, as described above, when the game ball B is accepted in the variable winning opening, the accepted game ball B can be seen for a longer time than the game ball B accepted in the general winning opening 2001. It is possible to surely recognize that the game ball B has been accepted into the variable winning opening, and to give the general winning opening 2001 the joy (superiority complex) that the game ball B has been accepted into the variable winning opening. You can enjoy it for a longer time than when it was accepted. In addition, since the angle of the winning door in the open state is loose, it takes a long time for the winning door in the open state to close, so that the number of game balls B is more than the specified number for the player. Can make you feel like doing.

Further, in the two general winning openings 2001 on the right side of the side unit 2200, the portion extending diagonally downward from the lower end of the portion of the first front wall portion 2203 is more than the distance of the portion extending vertically downward from the upper end. The distance of is formed longer. As a result, since the winning opening is the general winning opening 2001, the game ball B is paid out, but the lottery such as the ordinary lottery or the special lottery is not performed. Therefore, the game ball B accepted in the general winning opening 2001 Can be hidden from the player's field of vision at an early stage.

Further, in the above embodiment, in the side unit 2200, among a plurality of general winning openings 2001, the front surface of a specific general winning opening 2001 is inclined, but the present invention is not limited to this, and all general winning openings 2001 are used. The front surface of the winning opening 2001 may be inclined. Further, in the present embodiment, the game ball B launched at the launch position (so-called “left-handed”) in the normal game state can enter the general winning opening 2001 whose front surface is not tilted. The one provided at the position is shown, but it is not limited to this, and the general winning opening 2001 whose front is not tilted is in an advantageous gaming state (during "time saving", "probability change", or "big hit"). The game ball B launched at the launch position (so-called "right-handed") may be provided at a position where the ball can enter, or may be provided at both.

Further, as shown in FIG. 119, the inclination angle of the general winning opening 2001 having an inclination on the front surface is larger than the opening angle when the variable winning opening (for example, the large winning opening) is opened from the time when it is closed. It has a narrow angle. If the number of game balls B paid out when winning a prize in the large prize opening is larger than that in the general winning opening 2001, the player will win more than the specified number even in the large winning opening where the specified number of winnings is set. I hope. Therefore, it is said that the speed at which the game ball B that has won the big prize opening rolls to the back side is slower than the speed at which the game ball B that has won the general winning opening 2001 with the front tilted rolls to the back side. There is. In other words, when the general winning opening 2001, which is smaller than the number paid out when winning the large winning opening, is won, it is said that the speed at which the game ball B winning the large winning opening rolls to the back side is faster. ing. In other words, it can be said that the more payouts are made, the slower the time it takes to disappear from the player's field of view. As a result, the more payouts are made, the longer the time of joy when winning can be provided.

[5-8c. Side upper left unit]
The side upper left unit 2300 in the table unit 2000 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 117 and the like. The side upper left unit 2300 of the front unit 2000 is attached to the game panel 1100 from the front so as to be in contact with the inner rail 1002 on the left side of the side unit 2200 in the game area 5a. The side upper left unit 2300 has a shelf portion 2301 inclined so as to be lowered to the right. The entire side upper left unit 2300 is transparently formed.

The side upper left unit 2300 is assembled on the game board 5, and the shelf portion 2301 projects forward from the front surface of the game panel 1100.

At this time, if the game ball B is accepted in the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004 and a "small hit" is drawn as the result of the first special lottery or the second special lottery, the second big prize is won. Since the mouth 2006 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B that has flowed down the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 is highly likely to be accepted by the second big winning mouth 2006.

The game ball B received in the second big winning opening 2006 is detected by the second big winning opening sensor 2601 and guided to the rear of the game panel 1100 outside the game area 5a, and then in the back unit 3000. It is delivered to the seventh delivery port 3067 of the back induction unit 3050 and discharged onto the substrate holder 1200. By detecting the game ball B by the second large winning opening sensor 2601, a privilege that a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out is given.

The game ball B, which was not accepted by the second prize opening 2006 and flowed down to the left of the second prize opening 2006, entered the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 and exited the lower right guide passage 2530. Is discharged to the first attacker unit 2400 side.

The game ball B released downward (diagonally lower left) from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 flows down onto the first shelf 2412a of the first attacker unit 2400. Since a plurality of obstacle nails N are planted between the lower right guide passage 2530 and the first attacker unit 2400, the game ball B is directly connected to the first attacker unit 2400 from the lower right guide passage 2530. It does not flow down to the right side of the first standing wall portion 2412e.

The game ball B that has flowed down to the first shelf 2412a of the first attacker unit 2400 rolls to the left due to its inclination, and moves the upper surface of the door 2414a of the second starting door 2414 and the second shelf 2412b. After rolling, it is discharged from the left end of the second shelf portion 2412b to the left. Then, the game ball B released to the left from the second shelf 2412b falls on the third shelf 2412c or the door 2417a of the first winning opening door 2417 according to the momentum, and their inclinations. After rolling to the left from the door portion 2417a and rolling the fourth shelf portion 2412d, it is discharged from the fourth shelf portion 2412d to the left outside the first attacker unit 2400.

Depending on the momentum of the game ball B released from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500, by contacting the plurality of obstacle nails N, the ball does not flow down to the first shelf 2412a but to the upper shelf 2412p. It may flow down. Then, the game ball B that has flowed down to the upper shelf 2412p rolls to the left due to its inclination, is released from the left end of the upper shelf 2412p to the left, and then hits the obstacle nail N planted on the left. After abutting and turning downward and flowing down near the left end of the upper surface of the door portion 2417a in the first prize opening door 2417, the door portion 2417a and the fourth shelf portion 2412d are rolled to the left and the first It is released to the outside of the attacker unit 2400. Therefore, even when the game ball B rolls on the upper shelf portion 2412p, the first major prize depending on the timing when the game ball B is released from the upper shelf portion 2412p and the timing when the first prize opening 2005 is opened. It may be accepted in the winning opening 2005.

In addition, depending on the momentum of the game ball B released from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500, the first shelf portion 2412a bounces to the right due to contact with the obstacle nail N or the right end of the upper shelf portion 2412p. By flowing down, the first shelf portion 2412a may be rolled to the right against the inclination and discharged from the right end of the first shelf portion 2412a to the right (downward). The game ball B discharged from the right end of the first shelf portion 2412a to the right passes between the first standing wall portion 2412e and the right rail 1005 of the front component 1000, and flows down to the vicinity of the right end of the second lateral wall portion 2412 m. Then, due to the inclination of the second lateral wall portion 2412 m, it rolls to the left and is received by the first sub-out port 2011. The game ball B received in the first sub-out port 2011 is detected by the first sub-out port sensor 2403, and is not returned to the game area 5a, but is not returned to the game area 5a, and the fifth delivery port 3065 of the back guidance unit 3050 in the back unit 3000. It is delivered to and discharged from the back guide unit 3050 onto the substrate holder 1200 below.

When the game ball B is released from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500, if the "normal hit" is drawn as a result of the normal lottery due to the passage of the game ball B at the gate portion 2003, the second start Since the mouth door 2414 is movable and the second starting port 2004 is opened in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B that is rolling the first shelf portion 2412a to the left is accepted by the second starting port 2004. there is a possibility. Then, when the game ball B is received by the second start port 2004, it is detected by the second start port sensor 2401 and then discharged onto the board holder 1200 outside the game area 5a.

Even through the constituent members 1000 and the transparent game panel 1100, the rear right elevating drive motor 3654 is made invisible from the front (player side). Therefore, the appearance of the game board 5 (pachinko machine 1) is improved by making the functional parts such as the drive motor and the drive solenoid provided behind the back front right decorative body 3040 invisible from the player side. It is possible to exert the same action and effect as the back front left decorative body 3030.

As described above, according to the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 of the present embodiment, at least a part of functional parts such as a drive motor and a drive solenoid provided at the rear is covered. Therefore, it is possible to make the functional parts difficult to see from the player side, and it is possible to improve the appearance of the game board 5 (pachinko machine 1).

Further, as described above, since the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 can cover the front of the functional parts provided behind, the front constituent members 1000 and the game panel 1100 are made transparent. However, the functional parts can be made invisible from the player side. That is, the front component 1000 and the game panel 1100 can be made transparent. Therefore, the transparent front component 1000 and the game panel 1100 can reduce the visibility of the boundary of the game area 5a, give the player a feeling of openness, and give the player a feeling of openness, and the actual game area 5a. Although the size of the game area does not change, the game area 5a can be made larger (wider) to the player. At this time, the parts outside the game area 5a in the decorative sticker 3032 of the back front left decorative body 3030 and the decorative sticker 3042 of the back front right decorative body 3040, which are provided with predetermined decorations, are the front component 1000 and the game panel 1100.

The back guidance unit 3050 includes an out ball detection member 3080 that detects the game ball B received in the out port 2010. The out-ball detection member 3080 is driven into the game area 5a and is accepted by the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the first major winning opening 2005, and the second major winning opening 2006. To detect the game ball B received in the out opening 2010 opened at the lower end of the game area 5a among the game balls B that did not exist (the game ball B for which the privilege was not given, also referred to as "out ball"). belongs to.

The out-ball detection member 3080 is inserted into the out recess 1123 of the panel holder 1120 in the game panel 1100 from the rear, and the tubular portion 3081 and the tubular portion 3081 that extend the game ball B in a tubular shape in the front-rear direction so as to be able to flow. A partition portion 3082 that divides the inside into left and right, a flange portion 3083 that protrudes in a flat plate shape in the left-right direction from the outer periphery of the rear end of the cylinder portion 3081, and a game ball B that is continuous with the rear end of the cylinder portion 3081 and moves downward. It is provided with a rear cover 3084 that can be guided to and discharged (see FIG. 114). The out-ball detection member 3080 is provided with an out-port sensor 3053 between the tubular portion 3081 and the rear cover 3084.

The tubular portion 3081 has substantially the same size as the out port 2010, and has a width in the left-right direction in which two game balls B are sufficiently lined up (a width in which three game balls B are not lined up), and the lower inner surface is It is inclined so that it becomes lower toward the rear side. The partition portion 3082 is provided near the rear end of the tubular portion 3081, and is partitioned to a size that allows one game ball B to pass on both the left and right sides. The partition portion 3082 is curved so that the front end side projects forward as it goes downward, and is shorter than the diameter of the game ball B and projects forward.

In the out ball detection member 3080, two out port sensors 3053 are provided side by side. The left out port sensor 3053 detects the game ball B circulating on the left side of the partition portion 3082 in the tubular portion 3081, and the right out port sensor 3053 detects the right side of the partition portion 3082 in the tubular portion 3081. It detects the distributed game ball B. The outlet sensor 3053 is a non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch.

The two out-port sensors 3053 are provided so that the detection direction of the game ball B (the axial direction of the detection hole through which the game ball B passes) is parallel to the inner surface on the lower side of the tubular portion 3081. As a result, the distribution direction of the game ball B circulating in the tubular portion 3081 does not change even at the portion of the out port sensor 3053, so that the out port sensor 3053 can smoothly detect the game ball B, and the game ball B can be detected smoothly. Can be quickly discharged to prevent stagnation on the front side of the outlet sensor 3053.

The out-ball detection member 3080 has a tubular portion 3081 inserted into the out recess 1123 of the panel holder 1120 in the game panel 1100 in a state of being assembled on the game board 5 (see FIG. 114).

According to the out-ball detection member 3080 of the present embodiment, since the partition portion 3082 partitions between the two out-port sensors 3053 provided on the left and right, the game ball B flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 can be seen. It is possible to guide the game ball B that has flowed down the right side of the center accessory 2500 to the out port sensor 3053 side on the right side while being able to guide the game ball B to the out port sensor 3053 side on the left side. Therefore, in each of the left and right out-port sensors 3053, it is determined whether the player tends to be "left-handed" or "right-handed" based on the number of game balls B detected per hour. Based on the discrimination, it is possible to promote the optimum driving operation for the game situation and enjoy the intended game.

Further, in the out-ball detection member 3080, the protrusion of the partition portion 3082 to the front is shortened so that the game ball B can easily get over the partition. Therefore, when a large number of game balls B enter the out-port 2010 per hour, the partition is made. The game ball B can be released to the left side or the right side where the distribution amount of the game ball B is relatively small in the part 3082, and the game ball B can be discharged at the out port 2010 without delay.

Further, since the lower end of the rear cover 3084 is projected downward from the discharge portion 1201 of the board holder 1200, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the first large winning opening 2005, The game ball B received by the second big winning opening 2006, the first sub-out opening 2011, and the second sub-out opening 2012 and discharged onto the board holder 1200 flows back by the out-ball detection member 3080 and by the out-port sensor 3053. It is possible to prevent the detection from being detected, and it is possible to accurately detect only the "out ball" received in the out port 2010.

In the present embodiment, the out-ball detecting member 3080 is provided on the back unit 3000, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the out-ball detecting member 3080 may be attached to the game panel 1100. At this time, if the game panel 1100 has an out recess 1123, the out ball detection member 3080 can be attached, so that the game panel 1100 can correspond to the existing game panel 1100 having the out recess 1123. At the same time, it can be retrofitted to the existing game board 5.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the player is driven into the game area 5a and has a general winning opening 2001, a first starting opening 2002, a second starting opening 2004, a first large winning opening 2005, and a second large winning opening 2006. Since the game ball B (“out ball”) that is not accepted by any of them can be detected by the out port sensor 3053, the first sub out port sensor 2403, and the second sub out port sensor 3054, for example, a specific prize is won. If the acceptance of the game ball B into the mouth is continuously detected but the "out ball" is not detected, it means that a cheating is being performed on a specific winning opening. It is possible to notify that cheating is being carried out.

In addition, since the number can be counted by detecting the "out ball", the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the first major winning opening 2005, and the second major winning opening The number of "winning balls" and the number of "out balls" counted by the detection of the game ball B received in 2006, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting port 2002, the second starting port 2004, the first large From the number of "safe balls" paid out by accepting the game ball B to the winning opening 2005 and the second major winning opening 2006, the "ball ejection rate" in the pachinko machine 1 can be known. Although not shown, a display unit for displaying the "ball output rate" is provided on the rear side of the game board 5.

Further, in the game board 5, all the game balls B (“global”) driven into the game area 5a are detected, and all the game balls B (“global”) discharged from the game area 5a are detected. ) Is detected, since only the "out ball" is detected by the out port sensor 3053, the first sub out port sensor 2403, and the second sub out port sensor 3054, the "out ball" and the "winning ball" are detected. By comparing the numbers of "" and "global", the occurrence of ball clogging in the game board 5 can be detected.

The front right cover 3138 cooperates with the unit base 3121 to slidably support the right slider 3117 of the back / rear movable decorative body 3110 in the vertical direction.

Subsequently, the operation of the back-and-forth effect unit 3100 will be described. In the normal state of the back-rear effect unit 3100, as shown in FIG. 140 (FIG. 141 (a)), the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is in a retracted position in which the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is moved upward, and the slide guide 3130. Is located near the upper end of the spiral shaft 3123, and the lock member 3134 moves to the right and is located at the lock position. In this state, the lower surface of the movable protrusion 3116a of the left slider 3116 of the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 is in contact with the upper end surface of the slide guide 3130, and the back-rear movable decoration body is in contact with the contact surface 3134b of the lock member 3134. The lower surface of the locking projection 3116b of the 3110 is in contact.

In the normal state, the transmission slider 3131 is located at the upward moving end due to the urging force of the spring 3132. The protrusion pin 3131c of the transmission slider 3131 is inserted into the first slit 3133a of the link member 3133, and the transmission pin 3134a of the lock member 3134 is inserted into the second slit 3133b of the link member 3133. The urging force of the 3132 is such that the link member 3133 acts in the clockwise direction about the rotation axis and the lock member 3134 is urged in the direction of sliding to the right. Therefore, the lock member 3134 is maintained in the locked position by the urging force of the spring 3132.

In this state, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is restricted from moving downward by the slide guide 3130 and the lock member 3134. Therefore, even if either the slide guide 3130 or the lock member 3134 moves from the position for some reason (fault), the rest may prevent the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 from moving (falling) downward. it can.

Further, in a normal state, the first slit 3133a of the link member 3133 is located above the rotation axis of the link member 3133, and the second slit 3133b into which the transmission pin 3134a of the lock member 3134 is inserted rotates. It is located to the right of the axis. Further, the back-rear upper detection sensor 3135 detects the detection piece 3116c of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, and the back-rear lower detection sensor 3136 does not detect the detection piece 3130a of the slide guide 3130.

The back-up effect unit 3100 is located behind the back-up effect unit 3400 in the normal state of the evacuation position, and is invisible from the front (player side).

In this normal state, when the spiral shaft 3123 is rotated in a predetermined direction (here, in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view) by the back-rear drive motor 3126, the slide guide 3130 screwed to the spiral shaft 3123 is lowered. Move to. Even if the slide guide 3130 moves downward, the lock protrusion 3116b of the back-rear movable decoration 3110 is in contact with the lock member 3134, so that the back-rear movable decoration 3110 cannot move downward from the retracted position. Instead, only the slide guide 3130 moves downward away from the movable protrusion 3116a of the rear-rear movable decorative body 3110.

Then, when the slide guide 3130 moves downward due to the rotation of the spiral shaft 3123 and the detection piece 3130a is detected by the back rear lower detection sensor 3136, the lower surface of the slide guide 3130 is the lower protrusion 3131a of the transmission slider 3131. It abuts on the upper end surface (see FIG. 141 (b)). When the slide guide 3130 further moves downward while the back rear lower detection sensor 3136 detects the detection piece 3130a of the slide guide 3130, the slide guide 3130 presses the lower protrusion 3131a of the transmission slider 3131 downward. The transmission slider 3131 moves downward together with the slide guide 3130 against the urging force of the spring 3132.

When the transmission slider 3131 moves downward, the first slit 3133a of the link member 3133 into which the protrusion pin 3131c of the transmission slider 3131 is inserted is pressed downward, and the link member 3133 counterclockwise around its rotation axis. It will rotate in the clockwise direction. Then, as the link member 3133 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the second slit 3133b of the link member 3133 moves to the left, and the second slit 3133b of the link member 3133 moves to the left via the transmission pin 3134a inserted in the second slit 3133b. The lock member 3134 will move to the left (see FIG. 141 (c)).

When the lock member 3134 moves to the left of the locking protrusion 3116b of the back-rear movable decoration 3110, the lock (downward restriction) by the lock member 3134 is released, and the back-rear movable decoration 3110 falls. At this time, the detection piece 3130a of the slide guide 3130 moving downward is not detected by the back rear lower detection sensor 3136, and the rotation of the back rear drive motor 3126 is stopped.

Then, the dropped back-rear movable decorative body 3110 comes into contact with the shock absorbing member 3121a of the unit base 3121, so that the falling is stopped and the state of the appearance position is reached (see FIG. 141 (c)). In the state of this appearance position, the slide guide 3130 is located below the lower end of the left slider 3116 of the back-rear movable decoration 3110, and the back-rear movable decoration 3110 does not come into contact with the back-rear movable decoration.

In the back rear movable decorative unit 3100, the back rear movable decorative body 3110 can be visually recognized from the front (player side) in the state of the appearance position where the back rear movable decorative body 3110 has fallen. In this state, by appropriately emitting light from a plurality of LEDs mounted on the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 (decorative body 3111) can be light-emitting and decorated. The light emitting decoration can entertain the player.

When returning the rear-rear movable decorative body 3110 from the appearance position of the lower moving end to the retracted position in the normal state, the rear-rear drive motor 3126 causes the spiral shaft 3123 to move in the opposite direction (here, clockwise in a plan view). Rotate in the direction) to move the slide guide 3130 upward. When the slide guide 3130 moves upward, the transmission slider 3131 slides upward together with the slide guide 3130 due to the urging force of the spring 3132. Then, when the transmission slider 3131 moves upward, the link member 3133 rotates in the clockwise direction and the lock member 3134 moves to the right and stops at the lock position, contrary to the above. Become.

Further, as the slide guide 3130 moves upward, the upper end surface of the lower protrusion 3131a comes into contact with the lower surface of the movable protrusion 3116a of the rear-rear movable decorative body 3110, and the slide guide 3130 moves the movable protrusion 3116a upward. By pressing against, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 moves upward (see FIG. 141 (d)).

Then, when the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is moved upward by the slide guide 3130 to the vicinity of the retracted position, the locking projection 3116b comes into contact with the guide surface 3134c of the locking member 3134 from below. When the locking projection 3116b abuts on the guide surface 3134c from below and the locking projection 3116b presses the guide surface 3134c upward, the inclination of the guide surface 3134c causes the locking member 3134 to move to the left. It acts, and the lock member 3134 slides to the right against the urging force of the spring 3132 that tends to move to the right via the transmission slider 3131 and the link member 3133.

When the locking projection 3116b is located above the upper end of the guide surface 3134c of the lock member 3134 due to the upward movement of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, the upward pressure of the locking projection 3116b on the guide surface 3134c is eliminated. The lock member 3134 slides to the right by the urging force of the spring 3132 and is in the locked position. As a result, the right end side of the contact surface 3134b of the lock member 3134 is located below the locking projection 3116b of the back-rear movable decoration body 3110, and the lock member 3134 moves the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 downward. Can be regulated.

At this time, the detection piece 3116c of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is detected by the back-rear upper detection sensor 3135, and the rotation of the back-rear drive motor 3126 is stopped. In this way, the rear-rear movable decorative body 3110 can return from the appearance position to the state of the retracted position which is the normal state.

According to the back-rear effect unit 3100 of the present embodiment, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 extending to the left and right is dropped from the state of the retracted position which is invisible from the player side to the state of the appearance position where it can be seen. Therefore, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player and strongly attract the interest of the player.

Further, since the lock member 3134 that locks (regulates) the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 in the retracted position is moved to the left to release the lock, it rotates around the axis in the front-rear direction. Compared with the case where the lock is released by moving the lock, the rear movable decorative body 3110 can be dropped without moving upward when the lock is released.

Can be suppressed from increasing.

The leg portion 3113f projects rearward from the rear end side of the portion of the inner surface of the first LED accommodating portion 3113c that faces the light emitting surface of the first LED 3114a to be inserted. As shown in FIG. 150 and the like, the leg portion 3113f is provided with a surface on the first LED accommodating portion 3113c side on the same surface as the inner surface of the first LED accommodating portion 3113c. As a result, the area of the light receiving unit 3113i for receiving the light emitted from the first LED 3114a into the main body 3113a can be increased, and more light from the first LED 3114a can be irradiated into the main body 3113a. Can be done. Further, when the legs 3113f are assembled on the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, the rear surface abuts on the front surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, and a gap is provided between the rear surface of the main body 3113a and the front surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. Can be formed.

The auxiliary reflection portion 3113g is provided in a C chamfer shape along the side opposite to the first LED housing portion 3113c at the rear end of the leg portion 3113f. The auxiliary reflecting portion 3113g is for reflecting the light radiated from the first LED 3114a to the leg portion 3113f forward.

The right slider front portion 3113h is for forming the right slider 3117 in cooperation with the right slider rear portion 3115d described later of the decorative body base 3115.

When the light guide radiation plate 3113 of the present embodiment is assembled on the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, the flange portion 3113b covers the outer circumference of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. Therefore, the flange portion 3113b covers the outer circumference of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. The surface can be made difficult to see, and it is possible to prevent the appearance from being deteriorated. Further, since the light guide radiation plate 3113 has a flange portion 3113b projecting rearward from the back rear decorative substrate 3114, the back rear decorative substrate is provided from the metal decorative portion 3111d provided on the front surface of the decorative body 3111. The creepage distance EL to 3114 (copper foil 3114d and electronic component 3114e) can be made longer, and the static electricity accumulated in the metal decorative portion 3111d flows to the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, and the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is damaged. It is possible to prevent it from being stored.

In the light guide radiation plate 3113 of the present embodiment, since the first LED accommodating portion 3113c and the second LED accommodating portion 3113d are holes penetrating the main body portion 3113a, the first LED accommodating portion 3113c is accommodated. The heat from the second LED 3114b housed in the LED 3114a and the second LED accommodating portion 3113d can be released to the front of the main body portion 3113a, and the thermal influence on the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 can be reduced.

Further, since the first LED accommodating portion 3113c and the second LED accommodating portion 3113d are through holes, the front side of the first LED accommodating portion 3113c and the second LED accommodating portion 3113d is blocked by the decorative sheet 3112, the decorative body 3111, or the like. Even if it is, the first LED accommodating portion 3113c and the second LED accommodating portion are compared with the case where the first LED accommodating portion 3113c and the second LED accommodating portion 3113d are formed in a bottomed concave shape (groove shape). The volume (heat capacity) of the 3113d can be increased. As a result, it is possible to alleviate a rapid temperature rise due to heat from the first LED 3114a and the second LED 3114b housed therein, and it is possible to suppress the thermal influence on the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 and the like. Further, in the first LED accommodating portion 3113c which is close to each other and is connected to each other and the first LED accommodating portion 3113c having the extending portion 3113j, the volume of the first LED accommodating portion 3113c is large. For the same reason as described above, it is possible to dissipate more heat from the first LED 3114a and further alleviate the rapid temperature rise.

Further, the light guide radiation plate 3113 has a first LED accommodating portion 3113c and a second LED accommodating portion 3113d into which the first LED 3114a and the second LED 3114b mounted on the front surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 are inserted from the rear. Therefore, by inserting the first LED 3114a and the second LED 3114b into the first LED accommodating portion 3113c and the second LED accommodating portion 3113d, the rear surface of the main body portion 3113a is as close as possible to the front surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. It is possible to make the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 thinner in the front-rear direction.

Further, since the light guide radiation plate 3113 has the leg portion 3113f protruding rearward from the rear surface of the main body portion 3113a, the rear end of the leg portion 3113f is brought into contact with the front surface of the back rear decorative substrate 3114. , A gap can be formed between the rear surface of the main body 3113a and the front surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. As a result, heat from the first LED 3114a, the second LED 3114b, etc. mounted on the front surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 can be released through the gap, and the temperature rise in the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is suppressed to be affected by the heat. Can be reduced. The gap between the main body 3113a and the substrate main body 3114c of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is defined as "half the distance from the front of the substrate main body 3114c to the light emitting portion of the first LED 3114a" to "from the front of the substrate main body 3114c to the first It is desirable that the distance is within the range of "a distance to the front surface of the LED 3114a". This is because if the gap is smaller than this, heat may not be sufficiently discharged through the gap between the main body portion 3113a and the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. Further, if the gap is larger than this, the amount of light incident on the main body 3113a of the light guide emitting plate 3113 from the first LED 3114a decreases, so that the decorative body 3111 and the decorative sheet 3112 emit light with sufficient brightness. This is because there is a risk that it will not be possible to decorate it.

Further, the light guide radiating plate 3113 guides the light from the first LED 3114a mounted at a plurality of predetermined positions of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, and is forward by the reflecting portion 3113e on substantially the entire rear surface of the main body 3113a. Since it can be radiated to, the light from the first LED 3114a can be radiated forward even in a portion of the main body 3113a where the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is not provided. In other words, even if the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is made smaller than the size of the main body 3113a, light can be radiated forward from substantially the entire surface of the main body 3113a. Therefore, since the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 can be made smaller than the main body 3113a, the distance between the outer circumference of the main body 3113a and the outer circumference of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 can be made longer, and the decorative body 3111 can be made longer. The creepage distance EL from the metal decorative portion 3111d on the front surface can be made longer to make it easier to exert the above-mentioned effects.

[5-9d-5. Back-rear movable decorative board back-rear decorative board]
On the surface (front surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, a plurality of first LEDs 3114a of a surface mount type and a side view type, a plurality of second LEDs 3114b of a surface mount type and a top view type, and a surface mount type 3114g of the connector (in FIG. 155 (a), one surface mount type connector 3114g is arranged on the right side of the front surface (front surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114). The packages of the plurality of first LEDs 3114a and the plurality of second LEDs 3114b are made of white resin (a color recognized to be the same color as white), and the housing of the connector 3114g is white (natural color). It is also said to be made of resin (a color that is recognized to be the same color as white (natural color)). An electronic component 3114e (see FIG. 155 (b)) such as an LED driver IC and a resistor is mounted on the back surface (rear surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. Further, the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 has a flat plate-shaped substrate main body 3114c, and a copper foil 3114d (FIG.) on which a predetermined circuit pattern is formed on the front surface (front surface) and the back surface (rear surface) of the flat plate-shaped substrate main body 3114c (See 154 etc.), respectively.

Further, on the surface (front surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, the surface (front surface) of the substrate main body 3114c, that is, the first LED 3114a (surface mount type), the second LED 3114b (surface mount type), and the connector 3114 g (surface mount type). A white coating film (hereinafter, simply referred to as "solid white resist") formed by applying a white resist solution in the entire area excluding pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which the type) is soldered. In some cases), a white resist layer is formed. On the back surface (rear surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, pads, through holes, lands, etc., on which the back surface (rear surface) of the substrate body 3114c on which the electronic component 3114e (surface mount type) is mounted are soldered, are provided. A white resist layer is formed by the solid white resist in the entire area except. Further, on the surface (front surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, although not shown, the surface-side electronic components are placed in the vicinity of the surface-side electronic components such as the first LED 3114a, the second LED 3114b, and the connector 3114g. Attributes of surface-side electronic components such as the part number of the component and the area indicating the position where the surface-side electronic component is placed (Furthermore, the shape of the surface-side electronic component, the size of the surface-side electronic component, and the mounting orientation of the surface-side electronic component (mounting). The front side notation part indicating the direction) and the model of the front side electronic component is silk-printed on a solid white resist with a bright yellow paint that is inconspicuous with respect to white. Is printed by. Although not shown, the back surface (rear surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 shows the part numbers of the back-side electronic components and the positions where the back-side electronic components are arranged in the vicinity of the back-side electronic components such as the electronic components 3114e. The attributes of the back side electronic component such as the area (furthermore, the shape of the back side electronic component, the size of the back side electronic component, the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the back side electronic component, and the model of the back side electronic component may be included. The notation on the back side indicating) is a bright yellow paint that is inconspicuous with respect to white, and is printed by silk printing on a solid white resist.

Here, the reason why a white resist liquid is used as the color and yellow is used as the silk printing paint will be described. First, the reflectance increases as it approaches white, whereas it decreases as it approaches black. The yellow reflectance is very close to the white reflectance compared to the red reflectance, and the red reflectance is very far from the white reflectance compared to the yellow reflectance. Although the reflectance of yellow is lower than that of white of the white coating film, it has a high reflectance. For this reason, in the combination of white and red, red becomes conspicuous when the background is white, and when the front side notation part (back side notation part) is red, the red front side with respect to the white resist. The notation part (the notation part on the back side of red with respect to the white resist) is conspicuous, whereas in the combination of white and yellow (configuration of the present embodiment), yellow is not conspicuous when the background is white, and the surface surface. When the side notation part (back side notation part) is yellow, the yellow front side notation part (yellow back side notation part with respect to the white resist) is inconspicuous with respect to the white resist.

Further, since the pachinko machine 1 brilliantly emits light by illumination by light emitting parts such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on each decorative substrate, the plurality of first LEDs 3114a and the plurality of second LEDs 3114b are described above. In addition, it is a full-color LED capable of emitting multiple colors, and its light emitting mode changes variously depending on whether it is turned on (lighted) or turned off. Therefore, as described above, on the surface (front surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, a pad on which the first LED 3114a, the second LED 3114b, and the connector 3114g are soldered, which is the surface (front surface) of the substrate main body 3114c. A white resist formed by applying a white resist solution over the entire area excluding through holes, lands, etc. (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as "solid white resist"). A layer is formed, and the surface side notation that enables identification of a full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is printed on this solid white resist by silk printing with a yellow paint, thereby emitting multicolor emission. In addition to being able to make the yellow surface side notation inconspicuous with respect to the white resist when the possible full-color LED is turned off, further, when the full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is lit (when emitting light). The surface (front surface) of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 by a combination of a solid white resist having a high reflectance and a front side notation printed by silk printing with a yellow paint very close to the white reflectance. ) Can be maintained high.

When yellow is used as the paint for silk printing, the yellow printed by silk printing may become light yellow or dark yellow due to variations due to the printing machine, or it may appear orange. In some cases. In addition, since the ink companies that supply silk printing paints also have a range of yellow (yellow toward the bright side, yellow due to the dark side), they can be used as silk printing paint for the same board manufacturing company or multiple board companies. Even if yellow is specified, it does not become exactly the same yellow (it is difficult to make it exactly the same yellow), but yellow has a wide range of colors.

The back-rear decorative substrate 3114 has an outer peripheral shape substantially along the inner circumference of the flange portion 3113b of the light guide radiation plate 3113, and has a gap slightly larger than the thickness of the flange portion 3113b with the flange portion 3113b. It is formed to a size that is formed substantially constant. Further, the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 has an outer peripheral shape substantially along the inner circumference of the flange portion 3115b of the decorative body base 3115 described later, and a slight gap is substantially formed between the back and rear decorative substrate 3114 and the inner circumference of the flange portion 3115b. It is formed to a size that is constantly formed. That is, the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is formed to have a size accommodated inside the flange portion 3115b of the decorative body base 3115.

At the portion of the first decorative portion 3151 in the plurality of first LEDs 3114a, as shown in FIG. 152 and the like, on the center line of each of the five petals imitating a cherry blossom, the first decorative protrusion 3111a of the decorative body 3111a It is provided so that light is irradiated toward the center of the flower near the tip inside the (metal decorative portion 3111d). As a result, each of the five petals imitating a cherry blossom can be luminescently decorated by the first LED 3114a of the portion of the first decoration portion 3151.

Further, in the portion of the second decorative portion 3152 in the plurality of first LEDs 3114a, in each of the second decorative portions 3152 arranged in rows on the left and right, the first decorative protrusions provided on the double side of the decorative body 3111 are provided. Near the rear of the 3111a, the light is provided so as to irradiate the inside of the second decorative portion 3152. As a result, the first LED 3114a of the portion of the second decorative portion 3152 can illuminate and decorate the plurality of second decorative portions 3152 arranged in rows on the left and right one by one.

As shown in FIG. 152 and the like, the plurality of second LEDs 3114b are central portions that imitate cherry blossoms in the first decorative portion 3151, and are circular portions that imitate stamens located on the center lines of the five petals. It is provided at the rear. That is, the second LED 3114b is provided on the optical axis of the first LED 3114a corresponding to one petal imitating a cherry blossom in the first decorative portion 3151. As a result, the second LED 3114b can illuminate and decorate the five parts of the first decoration part 3151 that imitate the stamens of the central part.

Since the second LED 3114b is a top-view type capable of irradiating light toward the front, when the second LED 3114b is made to emit light, a portion imitating a stamen in the central portion of the first decorative portion 3151 is displayed from other portions. It can also emit light with high brightness, which can strongly attract the interest of the player. Therefore, in the light emitting decoration of the decorative portion 3150, a portion that emits light in a plane shape by the first LED 3114a and a portion that emits light in a point shape by the second LED 3114b can be provided. It is possible to perform a variety of light emission effects, and it is possible to prevent the player from getting bored.

The substrate main body 3114c is a rigid substrate whose thickness is slightly thinner than the main body portion 3113a of the light guide radiation plate 3113. The substrate body 3114c of the present embodiment uses a glass composite base material.

The copper foil 3114d is provided on substantially the entire front and rear surfaces of the substrate main body 3114c. The copper foil 3114d is formed to have a predetermined thickness (18 μm to 70 μm), and forms a circuit pattern by etching (shaded portion in FIG. 154). As shown in FIG. 154, the copper foil 3114d is provided at a position where the outer peripheral edge is separated from the outer peripheral edge of the substrate main body 3114c by a predetermined distance SL (0.5 mm to 3 mm) (SL = 1 mm in the present embodiment). ing. By this predetermined distance SL, the creepage distance EL and the space distance from the external conductive member (for example, the metal decorative portion 3111d of the decorative body 3111) to the copper foil 3114d of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 are earned to discharge static electricity or the like. Insulation against short circuits can be improved, and damage to the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 due to electric discharge or the like can be suppressed.

Further, the outer peripheral edge of the copper foil 3114d is provided from the outer peripheral edge of the substrate main body 3114c to a portion inside a predetermined distance regardless of the presence or absence of the first LED 3114a, the second LED 3114b, and the electronic component 3114e, and the area of the copper foil 3114d. Is as wide as possible. As a result, a part of the heat generated in the first LED 3114a, the second LED 3114b, and the electronic component 3114e can be transferred to the copper foil 3114d to dissipate heat from the copper foil 3114d, and the first LED 3114a and the second LED 3114b can be dissipated. , And the cooling effect on the electronic component 3114e can be enhanced to prevent damage due to heat.

Further, the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 has a predetermined size for easily reflecting the light radiated from the first LED 3114a to the substrate main body 3114c side on the light emitting surface side of the side view type first LED 3114a on the front side. It has a light reflection auxiliary region 3114f (a region surrounded by a broken line in FIG. 154). As shown in FIGS. 151 and 153 (a), the light reflection auxiliary region 3114f of the present embodiment is not provided with the copper foil 3114d. As a result, the front surface of the light reflection auxiliary region 3114f is lower than the front surface of the copper foil 3114d on which the first LED 3114a is mounted. Therefore, as compared with the case where the copper foil 3114d is provided in the light reflection auxiliary region 3114f, the first LED 3114a is mounted. (I) The angle of the light emitted from the LED 3114a into the light reflection auxiliary region 3114f is such that the angle approaches the vertical line on the front surface of the substrate body 3114c, so that the light emitted toward the substrate body 3114c can be easily reflected forward. Can be done.

Further, as shown in FIG. 153 (a) and the like, the rear end of the leg portion 3113f protruding rearward of the light guide radiation plate 3113 is provided so that the copper foil 3114d is not provided in the light reflection auxiliary region 3114f. Since the contact is made, the leg portion 3113f can be lengthened rearward by the thickness of the copper foil 3114d. Therefore, the light receiving portion 3113i that receives the light from the first LED 3114a can be enlarged, and the light (amount of light) radiated forward from the light guide emitting plate 3113 is increased to increase the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 (decorative body 3111). And the decorative sheet 3112) can be brightly luminescently decorated.

Further, in the light reflection assisting region 3114f, the rear end of the leg portion 3113f projecting rearward of the light guide radiation plate 3113 is brought into contact with the rear end (see FIG. 153 (a) and the like). As a result, even if the white coating film (white resist) applied to the surface due to the contact of the legs 3113f is worn or rolled up, only the front surface of the substrate body 3114c is exposed and the copper foil 3114d is exposed. There is nothing to do. Therefore, the insulation property is lowered by the exposure of the copper foil 3114d, and damage due to a short circuit such as static electricity can be suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 150 and the like, the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 of the present embodiment is assembled on the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 to form a flange portion 3115b described later of the decorative body base 3115 and a flange portion of the light guide radiation plate 3113. Since the outer periphery of the 3113b is double-enclosed, it becomes difficult to see the outer peripheral surface from the outside, and deterioration of the appearance is prevented. Further, in the state where the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is assembled on the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, the outer circumference of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is surrounded by the flange portion 3113b of the light guide radiation plate 3113 with a certain gap. The flange portion 3115b of the decorative body base 3115 is inserted into the gap between the light guide radiating plate 3113 and the flange portion 3113b from the rear, and is also surrounded by the flange portion 3115b. As a result, the shortest route along the surface from the metal decorative portion 3111d on the front surface of the decorative body 3111 to the decorative substrate 3114 on the back side is the flange portion 3113b of the light guide radiation plate 3113 due to the presence of the flange portion 3115b of the decorative body base 3115. Since it meanders so as to wrap around, the creepage distance EL can be made longer, and the static electricity accumulated in the metal decorative portion 3111d flows to the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, and the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is damaged. Can be prevented. In this embodiment, the creepage distance EL is set to a distance that can correspond to a discharge voltage of 10 mm or more or 10 kV.

Further, since the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is provided behind the light guide radiation plate 3113, a member provided behind the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 by the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 (in the present embodiment, The light from the effect display device 1600) can be blocked. As a result, it is possible to prevent the decorative sheet 3112 and the decorative body 3111 from being irradiated with the light from the effect display device 1600 or the like provided at the rear, so that the decorative portion 3150 is light-emitting and decorated in an unintended state. It is possible to prevent this from happening, and it is possible to reliably perform a desired light emitting effect on the back-rear movable decorative body 3110. Further, since the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is provided behind the light guide radiation plate 3113, it is possible to prevent the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 from seeing the rear through the light guide radiation plate 3113, and the back-rear movable decoration. It is possible to suppress the deterioration of the appearance of the body 3110.

Further, the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is provided with only the first LED 3114a and the second LED 3114b accommodated from the rear with respect to the first LED accommodating portion 3113c and the second LED accommodating portion 3113d of the light guide emitting plate 3113 on the front surface. Therefore, by inserting the first LED 3114a and the second LED 3114b into the first LED accommodating portion 3113c and the second LED accommodating portion 3113d, the front surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is brought as close as possible to the rear surface of the main body portion 3113a. It is possible to make the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 thinner in the front-rear direction.

Further, the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 has electronic components 3114e such as an LED driver IC and a resistor mounted on the rear surface. Since the LED driver IC and the resistor as the electronic component 3114e are generally black components, the black electronic component 3114e cannot be seen from the front by providing the electronic component 3114e on the rear surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. It is possible to improve the appearance of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110. Further, since the black electronic component 3114e is provided on the rear surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 which cannot be seen from the front, it is not necessary to apply a paint of a color such as white to make the electronic component 3114e difficult to see. The cost of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 can be reduced.

The decorative body base 3115 is entirely transparent. The decorative body base 3115 penetrates the flat plate-shaped covering plate portion 3115a that covers the rear side of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, the flange portion 3115b that protrudes forward from the outer peripheral edge of the covering plate portion 3115a, and the covering plate portion 3115a. A plurality of openings 3115c and a right slider rear portion 3115d extending downward from the right end of the covering plate portion 3115a in the front view are provided.

The outer peripheral shape of the covering plate portion 3115a is substantially along the inner circumference of the flange portion 3113b of the light guide radiation plate 3113, and a slight gap is formed substantially constant between the covering plate portion 3115a and the inner circumference of the flange portion 3113b. It is formed to the size of. That is, the covering plate portion 3115a (decorative body base 3115) is formed in a size that can be accommodated inside the flange portion 3113b of the light guide radiation plate 3113. Since the covering plate portion 3115a covers the rear side of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, it is possible to prevent other members from coming into contact with the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 from the rear and protect the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. It is possible to prevent damage to the back-rear decorative substrate 3114.

As shown in FIG. 150 and the like, the flange portion 3115b enters the space between the flange portion 3113b of the light guide radiation plate 3113 and the outer periphery of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, and the front end is in front of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. Protrudes so that is located. The flange portion 3115b is formed so as to cover the outer periphery of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, and makes it difficult to see the outer peripheral surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 from the outside to improve the appearance. Further, when the flange portion 3115b is assembled on the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, it is inserted in the space between the flange portion 3113b of the light guide radiation plate 3113 and the outer periphery of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114. The shortest route from the metal decorative portion 3111d on the front surface of the decorative body 3111 to the decorative substrate 3114 on the back side can be meandered around the flange portion 3113b of the light guide radiation plate 3113 due to the presence of the flange portion 3115b of the decorative body base 3115. Out. Therefore, the creepage distance EL can be made longer, and it is possible to prevent the static electricity accumulated in the metal decorative portion 3111d from flowing to the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 and damaging the back-rear decorative substrate 3114.

The plurality of openings 3115c have a slit-shaped portion that is long on the left and right and a portion that is larger than the slit-shaped portion.

Since the decorative body 3111 and the decorative body base 3115 constituting the surface of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 are made of synthetic resin having low conductivity, even if a large amount of static electricity is accumulated, their surfaces are formed. It is difficult for the static electricity accumulated in the whole to be discharged at once. On the other hand, since the metal decorative portion 3111d made of the metal foil of the decorative body 3111 has high conductivity, the static electricity accumulated on the entire surface of the metal decorative portion 3111d is easily discharged at once. For this reason, in the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 of the present embodiment, static electricity is likely to be accumulated in the metal decorative portion 3111d on the front surface of the decorative body 3111. However, as described above, the metal decorative portion 3111d Since the creepage distance EL to the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is sufficiently long, the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 is not damaged by the discharge of static electricity, and the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is moved up and down, and the back-rear movable decorative body is movable. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 that can be enjoyed both with a light emitting effect in which 3110 is light-emitting and decorated.

When the area of the metal decorative portion 3111d where static electricity is accumulated is equal to or larger than a predetermined value (for example, 100 cm2 or more), it is desirable to connect the metal decorative portion 3111d to the GND (ground). As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the static electricity accumulated in the metal decorative portion 3111d from being discharged to the back-back decorative substrate 3114.

It is printed on top by silk printing.

Here, the reason why a white resist liquid is used as the color and yellow is used as the silk printing paint will be described. First, the reflectance increases as it approaches white, whereas it decreases as it approaches black. The yellow reflectance is very close to the white reflectance compared to the red reflectance, and the red reflectance is very far from the white reflectance compared to the yellow reflectance. Although the reflectance of yellow is lower than that of white of the white coating film, it has a high reflectance. For this reason, in the combination of white and red, red becomes conspicuous when the background is white, and when the front side notation part (back side notation part) is red, the red front side with respect to the white resist. The notation part (the notation part on the back side of red with respect to the white resist) is conspicuous, whereas in the combination of white and yellow (configuration of the present embodiment), yellow is not conspicuous when the background is white, and the surface surface. When the side notation part (back side notation part) is yellow, the yellow front side notation part (yellow back side notation part with respect to the white resist) is inconspicuous with respect to the white resist.

Further, since the pachinko machine 1 brilliantly emits light by illumination by light emitting parts such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on each decorative substrate, the plurality of LEDs are full-color LEDs capable of emitting multiple colors as described above. The light emitting mode changes variously depending on whether the light is turned on (lights) or turned off. Therefore, as described above, the entire surface (front surface) of the lower back left decorative board 3203 and the lower back right decorative board 3253 excluding a plurality of LEDs, pads to which connectors are soldered, through holes, lands, etc. In the above, a white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as "solid white resist") formed by applying a white resist solution, and further, this solid is formed. The front side notation that makes it possible to identify a full-color LED that can emit multiple colors on a painted white resist is printed with yellow paint by silk printing, so that it is white when the full-color LED that can emit multiple colors is turned off. In addition to being able to make the yellow surface side notation inconspicuous with respect to the resist, in addition, when a full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is lit (when emitting light), it is solidly painted with high reflectance. The surface (front surface) of the lower back left decorative substrate 3203 and the lower back right decorative substrate 3253 by a combination of a white resist and a front side notation printed by silk printing with a yellow paint having a white reflectance very close to that of white. The reflectance of the LED can be maintained high.

When yellow is used as the paint for silk printing, the yellow printed by silk printing may become light yellow or dark yellow due to variations due to the printing machine, or it may appear orange. In some cases. In addition, since the ink companies that supply silk printing paints also have a range of yellow (yellow toward the bright side, yellow due to the dark side), they can be used as silk printing paint for the same board manufacturing company or multiple board companies. Even if yellow is specified, it does not become exactly the same yellow (it is difficult to make it exactly the same yellow), but yellow has a wide range of colors.

Here, the reason why a white resist liquid is used as the color and yellow is used as the silk printing paint will be described. First, the reflectance increases as it approaches white, whereas it decreases as it approaches black. The yellow reflectance is very close to the white reflectance compared to the red reflectance, and the red reflectance is very far from the white reflectance compared to the yellow reflectance. Although the reflectance of yellow is lower than that of white of the white coating film, it has a high reflectance. For this reason, in the combination of white and red, red becomes conspicuous when the background is white, and when the front side notation part (back side notation part) is red, the red front side with respect to the white resist. The notation part (the notation part on the back side of red with respect to the white resist) is conspicuous, whereas in the combination of white and yellow (configuration of the present embodiment), yellow is not conspicuous when the background is white, and the surface surface. When the side notation part (back side notation part) is yellow, the yellow front side notation part (yellow back side notation part with respect to the white resist) is inconspicuous with respect to the white resist.

Further, since the pachinko machine 1 brilliantly emits light by illumination by light emitting parts such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on each decorative substrate, the plurality of LEDs are full-color LEDs capable of emitting multiple colors as described above. The light emitting mode changes variously depending on whether the light is turned on (lights) or turned off. Therefore, as described above, pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which a plurality of LEDs and the like are soldered are provided on the surfaces (front surfaces) of the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back and the second decorative substrate 3329 in the lower back. A white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as "solid white resist") formed by applying a white resist solution in the entire area except for the above area. , The front side notation that makes it possible to identify a full-color LED that can emit multiple colors on this solid white resist is printed with yellow paint by silk printing, so that the full-color LED that can emit multiple colors is turned off. In addition to being able to make the yellow surface side notation less noticeable with respect to the white resist at times, it is also solid with high reflectance when a full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is lit (when emitting light). By combining the painted white resist and the front side notation printed by silk printing with a yellow paint that is very close to the white reflectance, the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back and the second decorative in the lower back The reflectance of the surface (front surface) of the substrate 3329 can be maintained high.

When yellow is used as the paint for silk printing, the yellow printed by silk printing may become light yellow or dark yellow due to variations due to the printing machine, or it may appear orange. In some cases. In addition, since the ink companies that supply silk printing paints also have a range of yellow (yellow toward the bright side, yellow due to the dark side), they can be used as silk printing paint for the same board manufacturing company or multiple board companies. Even if yellow is specified, it does not become exactly the same yellow (it is difficult to make it exactly the same yellow), but yellow has a wide range of colors.

Since the elevating cam gear 3356 passes through the center of rotation of the elevating cam gear 3356, the elevating cam gear 3356 does not rotate. Therefore, since the drive pin 3356b of the elevating cam gear 3356 does not revolve, the elevating arm 3357 does not rotate, the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 does not move from the lowering position by the urging force of the spring 3362, and the spring. The urging force of 3362 does not act on the lower back middle elevating drive motor 3352 via the elevating arm 3357 and the like.

In a normal state, the drive pin 3356b of the elevating cam gear 3356 may be brought into contact with the end portion of the first slit 3357a on the proximal end side. As a result, when the elevating arm 3357 tries to rotate in the clockwise direction due to the urging force of the spring 3362, the elevating cam gear 3356 moves in the counterclockwise direction due to the force acting from the first slit 3357a via the drive pin 3356b. Try to rotate. At this time, the drive pin 3356b tries to revolve so as to move toward the base end side of the elevating arm 3357, but the drive pin 3356b is in contact with the end end side of the first slit 3357a. , The drive pin 3356b cannot revolve, and the rotation of the elevating arm 3357 is locked so that the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 can be prevented from moving upward.

In the normal state of the underside middle effect unit 3300, among the plurality of number decorations in the underside middle rotation decoration body 3310, the number decoration located at the uppermost side is inside the frame of the center accessory 2500. It is located and can be clearly seen from the front (player side) (see FIG. 111 and the like). Further, in a normal state, the numerical decoration located at the lowermost position is located behind the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100, and is located behind the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back and in the lower middle. (Ii) By emitting light from the LED of the decorative substrate 3329, in addition to the light emitting decoration of the rotating decoration under the back, the first starting port 2002 formed of the transparent member can also be made to emit light (see FIG. 120 and the like). ).

In this normal state, when the drive gear 3353 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the front view by the lower back middle elevating drive motor 3352, the first transmission gear 3354, the second transmission gear 3355, and the gear portion 3356a are used. As a result, the elevating cam gear 3356 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the drive pin 3356b of the elevating cam gear 3356 revolves in the clockwise direction. When the drive pin 3356b revolves, the inner surface of the first slit 3357a in contact with the drive pin 3356b is pressed upward, the drive pin 3356b slides in the first slit 3357a toward the tip side, and the elevating arm. It rotates in the clockwise direction around the base end side so that the tip end side of the 3357 moves upward.

By rotating the elevating arm 3357 in the clockwise direction, the elevating pin 3332a of the movable base 3332 inserted in the second slit 3357b on the tip end side of the elevating arm 3357 is moved upward by the inner surface of the second slit 3357b. The decorative body unit 3320 under the back is moved upward via the elevating pin 3332a. Then, when the drive pin 3356b moves upward from the center of revolution, the drive pin 3356b slides in the first slit 3357a toward the proximal end side. At this time, in the elevating arm 3357, since the spring 3362 acts on the urging force in the clockwise direction, the urging force assists the upward movement of the decorative body unit 3320 in the lower back, and the lower back middle. The load applied to the elevating drive motor 3352 is reduced.

When the drive pin 3356b revolves further in the clockwise direction and reaches the vicinity of the end portion of the first slit 3357a on the base end side, the rotation of the drive gear 3353 by the lower back middle elevating drive motor 3352 is stopped, and at the same time, the drive is driven. The revolution of pin 3356b stops. As a result, the movement of the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 by the elevating arm 3357 is stopped, and the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 is in the state of the ascending position moved most upward.

In the state where the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 is in the raised position, the normal line passing through the contact point with the first slit 3357a in the drive pin 3356b extends so as to pass through the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3356. As a result, even if a force for rotating the elevating arm 3357 in the counterclockwise direction is applied by the weight of the lower back middle decoration unit 3320, the line of force of the force hits the first slit 3357a. Since the elevating cam gear 3356 passes through the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3356 via the contacting drive pin 3356b, the elevating cam gear 3356 does not rotate. Therefore, since the drive pin 3356b of the elevating cam gear 3356 does not revolve, the elevating arm 3357 does not rotate, the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 does not move downward from the ascending position, and the lower back middle decoration unit. The weight of the unit 3320 does not act on the lower back middle elevating drive motor 3352 via the elevating arm 3357 and the like.

In the state where the lower back middle decorative unit 3320 is in the raised position, the elevating cam gear 3356 may be further revolved so that the drive pin 3356b comes into contact with the end portion on the base end side of the first slit 3357a. As a result, when the elevating arm 3357 tries to rotate in the counterclockwise direction due to the weight of the decorative body unit 3320 under the back, the elevating cam gear 3356 is clocked by the force acting from the first slit 3357a via the drive pin 3356b. Try to rotate in the clockwise direction. At this time, the drive pin 3356b tries to revolve so as to move toward the base end side of the elevating arm 3357, but the drive pin 3356b is in contact with the end end side of the first slit 3357a. , The drive pin 3356b cannot revolve, and the rotation of the elevating arm 3357 is locked, so that the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 can be prevented from moving downward.

In the state where the lower middle decorative body unit 3320 is moved to the ascending position, most of the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is located within the frame of the center accessory 2500 (furthermore, a game ball that rolls in the game area 5a). B is located above the bounce prevention member (stage cover 2515) provided on the center accessory 2500 that prevents B from bouncing from the outside to the inside of the center frame (peripheral wall portion 2501), and is forward (player). All numerical decorations can be seen well from the side) (see FIG. 201).

When returning the lower back middle decorative unit 3320 from the raised position to the lower position, when the drive gear 3353 is rotated in the opposite direction to the above by the lower back middle lifting drive motor 3352, the lifting arm 3357 Rotates in the counterclockwise direction, and the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 moves downward from the ascending position. Then, when the detection piece 3357c at the tip of the elevating arm 3357 is detected by the back lower middle elevating detection sensor 3358a of the back lower middle relay board 3358, the rotation of the drive gear 3353 is stopped by the back lower middle elevating drive motor 3352. , The center that prevents the lower middle decorative unit 3320 from bouncing from the outside to the inside of the center frame (peripheral wall portion 2501) in the lowered position (furthermore, the game ball B that rolls in the game area 5a) in the normal state. The bounce prevention member (stage cover 2515) provided on the accessory 2500 can be returned to the position where it overlaps when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 1.

The under-back middle effect unit 3300 of the present embodiment rotates the drive gear 3334 by the under-back middle rotation drive motor 3333 in the under-back middle decoration unit 3320, thereby rotating the under-back middle rotation decoration unit 3310 via the rotation gear 3327. Can be rotated around an axis in the front-back direction. By rotating the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310, the six number decorations provided on the front surface rotate like a roulette wheel. The lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 can be rotated by the lower back middle rotation drive motor 3333 at any position such as a lowering position or an ascending position of the lower back middle decoration body unit 3320.

In the under-back middle effect unit 3300 of the present embodiment, in a normal state, one of a plurality of (here, 6) numerical decorations in the under-back middle rotating decoration body 3310 is located directly above the rotation center (stop position). doing. For example, as shown in FIG. 168 (a), in a state where the numerical decoration of "1" in the lower back middle rotating decoration body 3310 is located at the top, the area detection piece 3325 of the rotation base 3324 is specified as the first area. The sensors 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c are detected by the three region identification sensors 3330, and a plurality of (here, 6) position detection pieces 3326 are detected by the position identification sensor 3331. Is not detected.

Here, first, the relationship between the three area identification sensors 3330 and the six stop positions of the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 will be described. In the state where the number decoration of "1" is set to the stop position, as described above, the first region identification sensor 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c are the region detection piece 3325 of the rotation base 3324. Is detected. That is, as shown in FIG. 168 (b), when the first region identification sensor 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c are detected, the numerical decoration of "1" is centered on the stop position. It is located within the range of ± 30 degrees.

When the first region identification sensor 3330a and the second region identification sensor 3330b detect and the third region identification sensor 3330c does not detect, the numerical decoration of "2" is in the region of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located within range.

Further, when the first region identification sensor 3330a detects and the second region identification sensor 3330b and the third region identification sensor 3330c do not detect, the numerical decoration of "3" is in the region of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located within range.

Further, when the first region identification sensor 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c are not detected, the numerical decoration of "4" is in the range of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located inside.

When the first region identification sensor 3330a and the second region identification sensor 3330b are not detected and the third region identification sensor 3330c is detected, the number decoration of "5" is in the region of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located within range.

Further, when the first region identification sensor 3330a is not detected and the second region identification sensor 3330b and the third region identification sensor 3330c are detected, the number decoration of "6" is in the region of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located within range.

In this way, by combining the detection / non-detection of the three area identification sensors 3330 of the first area identification sensor 3330a, the second area identification sensor 3330b, and the third area identification sensor 3330c, any numerical decoration can determine the stop position. It is possible to know (detect) whether or not it is located in the including stop area.

Since the under-back middle rotation drive motor 3333 of the present embodiment is a stepping motor, when the area identification sensor 3330 detects the area detection piece 3325 and then rotates 30 degrees, the under-back middle rotation drive is driven. By stopping the rotation of the motor 3333, it is possible to stop the desired numerical decoration of the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 at the stop position. However, in the case of performing such control, it is necessary to recognize the origin for stopping at the stop position while specifying the area of the stop position by the three area identification sensors 3330. There is a problem that the control for stopping the rotation of the 3310 becomes complicated and the load becomes high. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of position detection pieces 3326 for specifying the stop position and a position identification sensor 3331 for detecting the position detection piece 3326 are provided, and the origin is recognized by the position identification sensor 3331. Therefore, the complexity of the control for stopping the rotation of the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 is suppressed, and the load is reduced.

More specifically, when the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 wants to stop the desired numerical decoration at the stop position, the lower middle rotating decoration 3310 rotates and the three area identification sensors 3330 stop the desired number. When the combination satisfies the position, the position identification sensor 3331 is displaced in the rotation direction at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the first region identification sensor 3330a, so that the position identification sensor 3331 detects the center of the position detection piece 3326. ing. In this state, the desired number is separated from the stop position by a rotation angle of 30 degrees.

In this state, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates α / 2 degrees (here, 11.67 degrees), which is the length of the position detection piece 3326, and further rotates, the position detection piece 3326 separates from the position identification sensor 3331. Therefore, the position identification sensor 3331 is not detected. The origin is the angle at which the position identification sensor 3331 is not detected. Then, when it is rotated by β degrees (here, 18.33 degrees) from there (from the origin), the rotation of the under-back middle rotation decoration body 3310 by the under-back middle rotation drive motor 3333 is stopped to obtain a desired number. The decoration can be stopped exactly at the stop position.

In the above description, the rotation stop of the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 has been described by an angle, but the rotation may be stopped by the rotation step of the lower back middle rotation drive motor 3333 made of a stepping motor. For example, when one rotation is 396 steps, the position detection piece 3326 is rotated 13 steps further when the back lower middle rotation decoration 3310 is in a combination in which the three area identification sensors 3330 satisfy the desired stop positions. Apart from the position identification sensor 3331, the position identification sensor 3331 is not detected. When the position identification sensor 3331 rotates 20 steps from the non-detected angle, the rotation of the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 by the lower back middle rotation drive motor 3333 is stopped to stop the desired number decoration. It can be stopped exactly at the position.

Next, the light emitting decoration in the underside middle effect unit 3300 will be described. As shown in FIG. 169, the under-back middle effect unit 3300 has a back-bottom middle decorative body unit 3320 equipped with a plurality of LEDs for emitting and decorating the back-lower middle rotating decorative body 3310. It includes a decorative substrate 3322 and a second decorative substrate 3329 in the lower back. The plurality of LEDs of the lower back middle first decorative substrate 3322 are located behind the six numerical decorations in the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310, and each of the numerical decorations can be independently luminescently decorated.

On the other hand, the plurality of LEDs of the lower back middle second decorative substrate 3329 are located behind the portion outside the plurality of numerical decorations in the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310, and are outside the back lower middle rotating decoration 3310. The periphery can be luminescently decorated.

As described above, the lower back middle effect unit 3300 can detect the rotation position of the lower back middle rotation decoration 3310 to some extent by the three area identification sensors 3330, and therefore, based on the detection of the area identification sensor 3330. By appropriately emitting light from a plurality of LEDs of the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back, the numbers are rotated in a state in which only specific number decorations are luminescent or in a state in which each number decoration is luminescent in different colors. It is possible to show the player a production that strongly attracts the player's attention.

Further, in the state where the lower back middle decorative body unit 3320 is in the lowered position, the numerical decoration on the lower side of the lower back middle decorative body 3310 is located behind the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100. The first starting port 2002 can be light-emitting and decorated by causing the LED of the portion of the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back to emit light. As a result, the player's attention can be directed to the first starting port 2002. In addition, when the game ball B wins a prize in the first starting port 2002, the LED of the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back is emitted (or, one emission mode is determined from a plurality of light emitting modes and the light is emitted. ) May be made.

As described above, according to the under-back middle effect unit 3300 of the present embodiment, the rotating under-back middle-rotating decorative body 3310 having six stop positions can detect a region having a length over three stop positions. A piece 3325 and six position detection pieces 3326 corresponding to each stop position are provided, and a three-region identification sensor 3330 for detecting the area detection piece 3325 and one position identification for detecting the position detection piece 3326 are provided. Since the sensor 3331 and the sensor 3331 are provided, when the lower back middle rotation decoration 3310 rotates, the three area identification sensors 3330 that detect the area detection piece 3325 increase in order from one side in the rotation direction and then decrease. This is repeated, and even until the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back is rotated to the next stop position, all the area identification sensors 3330 are not temporarily undetected, and the area detection piece 3325 is detected. By combining the area identification sensor 3330, the current rotation position of the lower back middle rotation decoration 3310 can be roughly grasped.

Since the lower back middle rotation decoration 3310 is provided with six position detection pieces 3326 corresponding to the respective stop positions, the lower back middle rotation is performed by detecting the area detection pieces 3325 by the three area identification sensors 3330. After roughly detecting the rotation of the decorative body 3310 to an arbitrary stop position, the stop position can be accurately detected by detecting the position detection piece 3326 by one position identification sensor 3331, and the deviation of the stop position can be prevented. It is possible to accurately grasp the stop position of the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 having a plurality of stop positions by reducing the number as much as possible.

Further, since the stop position of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately grasped, the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately stopped at an arbitrary stop position, and the game is played by shifting the stop position. It is possible to prevent the person from giving a sense of discomfort, and it is possible to entertain the effect (movable effect) by the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the stop position of the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately grasped, the deviation of the stop position can be suppressed even if the rotation speed of the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is increased, and the back side can be suppressed. By rotating the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310, the moving speed (rotational speed) of the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is higher than that in the case where the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is reciprocated. Can be faster. Therefore, the fast-rotating under-back middle-rotating decorative body 3310 can give a strong impact to the player, can strongly attract the player's attention, and can rotate the under-back middle-rotating decorative body 3310. It can be entertained, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

In addition, since the lower back middle rotating ornament 3310 is supposed to rotate around the axis in the front-rear direction and a plurality of numerical decorations are provided on the front surface, the roulette wheel that rotates and stops at an arbitrary stop position after rotating round and round. Since such an effect can be shown to the player, the player can be thrilled and excited depending on whether or not the desired number decoration stops rotating at the stop position, and the movable effect by the rotating ornament 3310 under the back is provided. It can be entertaining and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the number of stop positions of the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 is an even number, the number of stop positions that can be handled by the minimum number of area identification sensors 3330 required for detecting the movement to an arbitrary stop position , The number of the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back is the same as that of the stop position, the ability (grasp of the stop position) by the plurality of area identification sensors 3330 can be maximized, and more stop positions are provided. The lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can entertain the player and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the area detection piece 3325 and the position detection piece 3326 are provided on the rotation base 3324 that rotates together with the back lower middle rotating decoration body 3310, the radius (diameter) of the area detection piece 3325 and the position detection piece 3326 is possible. It can be made larger, and the positioning accuracy of the stop position can be made higher.

In the above embodiment, the rotation base 3324 that rotates integrally (together) with the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 is provided with the area detection piece 3325 and the position detection piece 3326. The area detection piece 3325 and the position detection piece 3326 may be provided on a member that rotates with the rotation of the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310, such as the drive gear 3334.

Here, the reason why a white resist liquid is used as the color and yellow is used as the silk printing paint will be described. First, the reflectance increases as it approaches white, whereas it decreases as it approaches black. The yellow reflectance is very close to the white reflectance compared to the red reflectance, and the red reflectance is very far from the white reflectance compared to the yellow reflectance. Although the reflectance of yellow is lower than that of white of the white coating film, it has a high reflectance. For this reason, in the combination of white and red, red becomes conspicuous when the background is white, and when the front side notation part (back side notation part) is red, the red front side with respect to the white resist. The notation part (the notation part on the back side of red with respect to the white resist) is conspicuous, whereas in the combination of white and yellow (configuration of the present embodiment), yellow is not conspicuous when the background is white, and the surface surface. When the side notation part (back side notation part) is yellow, the yellow front side notation part (yellow back side notation part with respect to the white resist) is inconspicuous with respect to the white resist.

Further, since the pachinko machine 1 brilliantly emits light by illumination by light emitting parts such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on each decorative substrate, the plurality of LEDs are full-color LEDs capable of emitting multiple colors as described above. The light emitting mode changes variously depending on whether the light is turned on (lights) or turned off. Therefore, as described above, on the surface (front surface) of the back-up front decorative substrate 3422 and the back-up rear decorative substrate 3452, the entire area excluding the pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which a plurality of LEDs and the like are soldered is covered. , A white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as "solid white resist") formed by applying a white resist solution, and further, this solid coating is further formed. The front side notation that makes it possible to identify a full-color LED that can emit multiple colors on the white resist is printed with yellow paint by silk printing, so that the full-color LED that can emit multiple colors is white when it is turned off. In addition to being able to make the yellow surface side notation less noticeable to the resist, it is also a solid white with high reflectance when a full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is lit (when emitting light). On the front surface (front surface) of the back-up front decorative substrate 3422 and the back-up rear decorative substrate 3452, depending on the combination of the resist and the front side notation printed by silk printing with a yellow paint having a white reflectance very close to the white color. The reflectance can be maintained high.

When yellow is used as the paint for silk printing, the yellow printed by silk printing may become light yellow or dark yellow due to variations due to the printing machine, or it may appear orange. In some cases. In addition, since the ink companies that supply silk printing paints also have a range of yellow (yellow toward the bright side, yellow due to the dark side), they can be used as silk printing paint for the same board manufacturing company or multiple board companies. Even if yellow is specified, it does not become exactly the same yellow (it is difficult to make it exactly the same yellow), but yellow has a wide range of colors.

Next, the movements of the back-up front rotation decoration body 3410, the back-up rear rotation decoration body 3440, and the back-up elevating decoration body unit 3450 in the back-up effect unit 3400 will be described. In the back-up effect unit 3400, under normal conditions, the detection piece 3427a of the rotation gear 3427 attached to the shaft shaft 3410a of the back-up front rotation decoration body 3410 is detected by the back-up rotation detection sensor 3428, and the back side. The upper front rotating ornament 3410 is in a state where one petal is directed upward (see FIG. 175). In this state, when the drive gear 3426 is rotated by the back-up front rotation drive motor 3425, the back-up front rotation decoration body 3410 can be rotated around the axis in the front-rear direction via the rotation gear 3427.

Further, in a normal state, the back-up evacuation decoration unit 3450 provided with the back-up rear rotation decoration 3440 on the tip side is in a state of extending in the left-right direction, and the whole excluding the tip side is It is located behind the front decorative body 3421 on the back and is in a retracted position invisible from the front (see FIG. 176 (a)). The portion of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 that protrudes to the left from the back-up front decorative body 3421 is located behind the back-front left effect unit 3700 in the state of being assembled on the game board 5. It is invisible from the front.

In this normal state, the detection piece 3431c of the elevating cam gear 3431 is detected by the back-up elevating detection sensor 3432. Further, the drive pin 3431b of the elevating cam gear 3431 is located below the center of revolution thereof, and is located near the end of the elevating unit base 3450 of the back-up elevating decorative unit 3450 in the slit 3453b far from the shaft hole 3453a. positioned.

More specifically, the normal line passing through the contact point of the drive pin 3431b of the elevating cam gear 3431 with the slit 3453b extends so as to pass through the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3431. As a result, even if a force that tries to rotate the elevating unit base 3453 in the counterclockwise direction so that the tip side moves downward due to the weight of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 is acting, the force of the force is applied. Since the lines of force pass through the center of rotation of the elevating cam gear 3431 via the drive pin 3431b that is in contact with the slit 3453b, the elevating cam gear 3431 does not rotate. Therefore, since the drive pin 3431b of the elevating cam gear 3431 does not revolve, the elevating unit base 3453 does not rotate, and the back-up evacuation decorative body unit 3450 rotates so that the tip side moves downward from the retracted position. There is no. Therefore, the weight of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 does not act on the back-up elevating drive motor 3492 via the elevating unit base 3453 and the elevating cam gear 3431.

In a normal state, the drive pin 3431b of the elevating cam gear 3431 may be brought into contact with the end portion of the slit 3453b far from the shaft hole 3453a. As a result, when the elevating unit base 3453 tries to rotate counterclockwise due to the weight of the back-up elevating decorative unit 3450, the elevating cam gear 3431 counterclockwise due to the force acting from the slit 3453b via the drive pin 3431b. Try to rotate in the clockwise direction. At this time, the drive pin 3431b tries to revolve so as to move away from the shaft hole 3453a of the elevating unit base 3453, but the drive pin 3431b comes into contact with the end portion of the slit 3453b far from the shaft hole 3453a. Therefore, the drive pin 3431b cannot revolve, and the rotation of the elevating unit base 3453 can be locked to prevent the back-up elevating decorative unit 3450 from rotating in the counterclockwise direction. ..

In this normal state, when the motor gear 3430 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the back-up elevating drive motor 3429, the elevating cam gear 3431 is rotated in the clockwise direction by the gear portion 3431a meshing with the motor gear 3430. Therefore, the drive pin 3431b of the elevating cam gear 3431 revolves in the clockwise direction. When the drive pin 3431b revolves in the clockwise direction, the drive pin 3431b moves to the left and upward, and the drive pin 3431b slides in the slit 3453b toward the shaft hole 3453a, and at the same time. Due to the weight of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450, the elevating unit base 3453 rotates in the counterclockwise direction about the shaft hole 3453a so that the tip side thereof moves downward.

When the drive pin 3431b of the elevating cam gear 3431 revolves in the clockwise direction and moves above the straight line connecting the center of rotation of the elevating cam gear 3431 and the center of the shaft hole 3453a of the elevating unit base 3453, the drive pin 3431b moves. It slides in the slit 3453b in a direction away from the shaft hole 3453a. Then, when the drive pin 3431b revolves further in the clockwise direction and reaches the vicinity of the end far from the shaft hole 3453a in the slit 3453b, the back-up elevating drive motor 3429 stops the rotation of the motor gear 3430, and at the same time, the drive pin 3431b Revolution stops.

As a result, the rotation of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 via the elevating unit base 3453 in the counterclockwise direction is stopped, and the tip side of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 including the back-up rear-rotating decorative body 3440 is moved. , It is in the state of the appearance position moved below the front decoration body 3421 on the back side (see FIG. 176 (b)). In the state of this appearance position, the tip side of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 is located below the back-up front decorative body 3421, so that the back-up rear rotating decorative body 3440 and the like can be visually recognized from the front. It will be in a possible state.

In the state where the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 is in the appearance position, the normal line passing through the contact point with the slit 3453b in the drive pin 3431b extends so as to pass through the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3431. As a result, even if a force that tries to further rotate the elevating unit base 3453 in the counterclockwise direction is exerted by the weight of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450, the force line of the force hits the slit 3453b. Since the elevating cam gear 3431 passes through the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3431 via the contacting drive pin 3431b, the elevating cam gear 3431 does not rotate. Therefore, since the drive pin 3431b of the elevating cam gear 3431 does not revolve, the elevating unit base 3453 does not rotate, and the elevating decorative body unit 3450 on the back side moves counterclockwise so that the tip side further moves downward from the appearance position. The weight of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 does not act on the back-up elevating drive motor 3492 via the elevating cam gear 3431.

In the state where the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 is in the appearance position, the elevating cam gear 3431 may be further revolved so that the drive pin 3431b is brought into contact with the end portion of the slit 3453b far from the shaft hole 3453a. As a result, when the elevating unit base 3453 tries to rotate further in the counterclockwise direction due to the weight of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450, the elevating cam gear 3431 is clocked by the force acting from the slit 3453b via the drive pin 3431b. Try to rotate in the clockwise direction. At this time, the drive pin 3431b tries to revolve so as to move away from the shaft hole 3453a of the elevating unit base 3453, but the drive pin 3431b comes into contact with the end portion of the slit 3453b far from the shaft hole 3453a. Therefore, the drive pin 3431b cannot revolve, and the rotation of the elevating unit base 3453 can be locked to prevent the back-up elevating decorative unit 3450 from rotating in the counterclockwise direction. ..

When the back-up elevating decoration unit 3450 is moved from the retracted position to the appearance position side, the back-up rear rotation decoration 3440 provided on the tip side can be visually recognized from the front. In the back-up elevating decoration unit 3450, when the drive gear 3455 is rotated by the back-up rear rotation drive motor 3454, the back-up rear rotation decoration is performed via the first transmission gear 3456, the second transmission gear 3457, and the rotation gear 3458. The body 3440 can be rotated about an axis in the anteroposterior direction (see FIG. 176 (b)). Therefore, when the back-up rear rotation decoration 3440 is visible from the front, if the drive gear 3455 is rotated by the back-up rear rotation drive motor 3454, the rotating back-up rear rotation decoration 3440 can be visually recognized. ..

When returning the back-up lift decoration unit 3450 from the appearance position to the retracted position, the drive pin 3431b of the back-up lift cam gear 3431 is moved up and down by rotating the motor gear 3430 in the opposite direction to the above by the back-up lift drive motor 3429. The inner surface of the slit 3453b of the unit base 3453 is pressed downward, the evacuation unit base 3453 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the tip side of the back-up evacuation decorative unit 3450 moves upward. Then, when the detection piece 3431c of the elevating cam gear 3431 is detected by the back-up elevating detection sensor 3432, the back-up evacuation decorative body unit 3450 is moved to the retracted position by stopping the rotation of the motor gear 3430 by the back-up elevating drive motor 3429. It can be restored.

At this time, the spring 3433 urges the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 in the clockwise direction, assists the rotation of the back-up elevating decorative body unit 3450 to the retracted position side, and raises and lowers the back-up. The load on the drive motor 3249 is reduced.

A plurality of dots of a predetermined color (pink in this embodiment) in line with the concept of the game board 5) (that is, the world view of the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5)) are printed, but the back side rotates counterclockwise. Through the decorative body 3510 and the back rear left decorative body 3521 (even at the peripheral edge of the petals), the surface (mounting surface) of the back rear left decorative substrate 3522 arranged behind the back rear left decorative body 3521 can be visually recognized. It has become like.

It should be noted that the attributes of the front-side electronic components such as the part numbers of the front-side electronic components such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on the surface (mounting surface) of the back-left decorative substrate 3522 and the area indicating the position where the front-side electronic components are arranged. (Furthermore, the surface side notation part indicating the shape of the surface side electronic component, the size of the surface side electronic component, the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the surface side electronic component, and the model of the surface side electronic component may be included.) The surface (mounting surface) of the back-rear left decorative substrate 3522 is printed by silk printing in a predetermined paint color, and behind the transparent back-rear left-rotating decorative body 3510, the transparent back-rear left decorative body 3521, Since the back rear left decorative substrate 3522 are arranged in order, the color of the predetermined paint printed on the surface (mounting surface) of the back rear left decorative substrate 3522 by silk printing is the back rear left decorative body 3521 and the back. It is visible through the rear left rotation decorative body 3510, and when a predetermined paint color can be visually recognized in a state where a plurality of LEDs are turned off, characters, symbols, and shapes are used according to the predetermined paint color. (That is, the attribute of the front side electronic component indicated by the front side notation part) can be discriminated.

Further, each of the plurality of LEDs mounted on the surface (mounting surface) of the back left decorative substrate 3522 is made of white resin (a color recognized to be the same color as white).

A white resist solution is applied to the surface (front surface) of the back left decorative substrate 3522 in the entire area except for pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which a plurality of LEDs (surface mount type) are soldered. A white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “solid white resist”). On the back surface (rear surface) of the left decorative substrate 3522, a white resist layer is formed by a solid white resist in the entire area except for pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which the connector (surface mount type) is soldered. Is formed. Further, on the front surface (front surface) of the back left decorative substrate 3522, although not shown, the component numbers of the front surface electronic components and the surface electrons are located in the vicinity of the surface electronic components such as a plurality of mounted LEDs. Attributes of surface-side electronic components such as an area indicating the position where the component is placed (Furthermore, the shape of the surface-side electronic component, the size of the surface-side electronic component, the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the surface-side electronic component, and the surface-side electronic component. The front side notation part indicating (may include the model) is printed by silk printing on a solid white resist with a yellow paint which is a light color that is inconspicuous with respect to white. On the back surface (rear surface) of the back-rear left decorative substrate 3522, although not shown, an area indicating the part number of the back-side electronic component and the position where the back-side electronic component is arranged in the vicinity of the back-side electronic component such as a connector.

Here, the reason why a white resist liquid is used as the color and yellow is used as the silk printing paint will be described. First, the reflectance increases as it approaches white, whereas it decreases as it approaches black. The yellow reflectance is very close to the white reflectance compared to the red reflectance, and the red reflectance is very far from the white reflectance compared to the yellow reflectance. Although the reflectance of yellow is lower than that of white of the white coating film, it has a high reflectance. For this reason, in the combination of white and red, red becomes conspicuous when the background is white, and when the front side notation part (back side notation part) is red, the red front side with respect to the white resist. The notation part (the notation part on the back side of red with respect to the white resist) is conspicuous, whereas in the combination of white and yellow (configuration of the present embodiment), yellow is not conspicuous when the background is white, and the surface surface. When the side notation part (back side notation part) is yellow, the yellow front side notation part (yellow back side notation part with respect to the white resist) is inconspicuous with respect to the white resist.

Further, since the pachinko machine 1 brilliantly emits light by illumination by light emitting parts such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on each decorative substrate, the plurality of LEDs are full-color LEDs capable of emitting multiple colors as described above. The light emitting mode changes variously depending on whether the light is turned on (lights) or turned off. Therefore, as described above, a white resist liquid is applied to the surface (front surface) of the back-rear left decorative substrate 3522 in the entire area excluding the pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which the plurality of LEDs are soldered. A white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “solid white resist”) formed by the white coating film, and further, a large amount is formed on the solid white resist. The front side notation that makes it possible to identify a full-color LED that can emit color is printed with yellow paint by silk printing, so that the front side that is yellow with respect to the white resist when the full-color LED that can emit multiple colors is turned off. In addition to being able to make the notation inconspicuous, when the full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is lit (when emitting light), a solid white resist with high reflectance and white reflectance The high reflectance of the surface (front surface) of the back-rear left decorative substrate 3522 can be maintained by combining with the front-side notation portion printed by silk printing with a yellow paint very close to.

When yellow is used as the paint for silk printing, the yellow printed by silk printing may become light yellow or dark yellow due to variations due to the printing machine, or it may appear orange. In some cases. In addition, since the ink companies that supply silk printing paints also have a range of yellow (yellow toward the bright side, yellow due to the dark side), they can be used as silk printing paint for the same board manufacturing company or multiple board companies. Even if yellow is specified, it does not become exactly the same yellow (it is difficult to make it exactly the same yellow), but yellow has a wide range of colors.

The front cover 3523 is formed in a shape in which a portion having the same shape as the outer shape of the back rear left decorative body 3521 and a portion extending in a quadrangular shape from the upper left to the upper side of the portion are combined. ..

The back rear left relay board 3651 relays the connection between the back rear left decorative board 3522, the back rear left rotation drive motor 3525, the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554, and the back rear left elevating detection sensor 3562, and the effect drive board 1720. It is for doing.

Subsequently, the operation of the back left effect unit 3500 will be described. In a normal state, the back-back left effect unit 3500 is a back-back left decorative body provided with a back-back left rotating decoration body 3510 on the lower end side (tip side) as shown in FIGS. 183 and 184 (a). The unit 3520 is in the hanging retracted position. In this normal state, the back rear left decorative body unit 3520 (back rear left rotating decorative body 3510) is located behind the back front left effect unit 3700 and cannot be seen from the front (player side). It has become.

Further, in the normal state assembled on the game board 5, most of the back front left effect unit 3500 is located behind the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front left effect unit 3700, and the back rear left elevating drive motor. Only a part of 3554 faces forward (see FIG. 131 and the like). The portion of the back-rear left elevating drive motor 3554 facing the front is covered by a portion outside the door window 101a of the door frame 3 when assembled in the pachinko machine 1, and the player It becomes invisible from the side (see FIG. 135).

In this normal state, the detection piece 3557c of the elevating cam gear 3557 is detected by the back-rear left elevating detection sensor 3562. Further, in a normal state, the drive pin 3557b of the elevating cam gear 3557 is located directly below the center of rotation of the elevating cam gear 3557 and is located near the left end in the first slit 3558a of the link member 3558. Further, in a normal state, the link member 3558 is located at the lower moving end, and the operating pin 3524b located to the right of the shaft hole 3524a of the movable base 3524 in the back rear left decorative unit 3520 It is located near the left end in the second slit 3558b of the link member 3558.

In this normal state, the link member 3558 is urged in the direction of moving upward by the spring 3559, but the normal line passing through the contact point in contact with the first slit 3558a in the drive pin 3557b of the elevating cam gear 3557 Since it passes through the center of rotation of the elevating cam gear 3557 (the center of revolution of the drive pin 3557b), even if an upward force acts on the drive pin 3557b via the first slit 3558a due to the urging force of the spring 3559, the drive pin 3557b Does not revolve in any direction, and the link member 3558 does not move upward. Therefore, since the link member 3558 does not move upward, the back rear left decorative body unit 3520 (back rear left rotating decorative body 3510) is centered on the shaft hole 3524a (support shaft 3551a) of the movable base 3524 from the retracted position. It does not rotate, and the urging force of the spring 3559 does not act on the rear left lift drive motor 3554 via the link member 3558, the lift cam gear 3557, and the like.

In a normal state, the drive pin 3557b of the elevating cam gear 3557 may be brought into contact with the left end of the first slit 3558a. As a result, when the link member 3558 tries to move upward due to the urging force of the spring 3559, the elevating cam gear 3557 tends to rotate in the clockwise direction due to the force acting from the first slit 3558a via the drive pin 3557b. At this time, the drive pin 3557b of the evacuation cam gear 3557 tries to revolve in the direction of moving to the left, but the drive pin 3557b is in contact with the left end of the first slit 3558a, so that the drive pin 3557b Can not revolve, and the upward movement of the link member 3558 is locked via the elevating cam gear 3557, and the rotation of the back rear left decorative unit 3520 from the retracted position can be prevented.

In this normal state, when the motor gear 3555 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the rear left elevating drive motor 3554, the elevating cam gear 3557 rotates in the counterclockwise direction via the transmission gear 3556 and the gear portion 3557a. Therefore, the drive pin 3557b of the elevating cam gear 3557 revolves in the counterclockwise direction. When the drive pin 3557b revolves in the counterclockwise direction, it slides to the right in the first slit 3558a while pressing the inner surface of the first slit 3558a upward, and the link member 3558 moves upward. It will be.

When the link member 3558 moves upward, the actuating pin 3524b of the movable base 3524 of the back rear left decorative unit 3520 protruding below and to the right of the support shaft 3551a is moved upward by the inner surface of the second slit 3558b of the link member 3558. The movable base 3524 rotates counterclockwise around the support shaft 3551a while the operating pin 3524b slides to the right in the second slit 3558b, and the back rear left decorative unit 3520 moves. It will rotate in the counterclockwise direction from the retracted position (see FIGS. 184 (a) and 184 (b)). At this time, the urging force of the spring 3559 assists the link member 3558 to move upward, reducing the load applied to the back-rear left elevating drive motor 3554.

In this way, the back rear left decorative body unit 3520 rotates in the counterclockwise direction about the support shaft 3551a, so that the back rear left rotating decorative body 3510 provided on the lower end side moves to the right. While moving upward, the back-back left-rotating decorative body 3510 moves to the right of the back-front-left effect unit 3700, and becomes visible from the front (player side).

In the back-rear left effect unit 3500 of the present embodiment, the back-rear left decorative unit 3520 rotates when the elevating cam gear 3557 is rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise from the normal state (retracted position). The position is the first appearance position (see FIG. 184 (b)). In the state of the first appearance position, the back rear left decorative unit 3520 is rotated about 44 degrees in the counterclockwise direction from the state of the retracted position.

Then, when the elevating cam gear 3557 further rotates in the counterclockwise direction from the state of the first appearance position, the drive pin 3557b slides to the left in the first slit 3558a. Then, when the drive pin 3557b moves to just above the center of revolution (when it revolves 180 degrees from the normal state), the rotation of the motor gear 3555 by the back-rear left elevating drive motor 3554 stops, and at the same time, the revolution of the drive pin 3557b stops. ..

As a result, the upward movement of the link member 3558 is stopped, the rotation of the back rear left decorative unit 3520 in the counterclockwise direction is stopped, and the state of the second appearance position is reached (FIG. 184 (c). )). In the state of the second appearance position, the back rear left decorative unit 3520 is rotated about 74 degrees in the counterclockwise direction from the state of the retracted position.

In the state where the rear left decorative unit 3520 is in the second appearance position, the drive pin 3557b is located directly above the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3557. In this state, due to the weight of the back rear left decorative body unit 3520, a force that causes the back rear left decorative unit 3520 to rotate in the clockwise direction around the support shaft 3551a acts, and the force acts on the movable base. The link member 3558 tries to move downward via the actuating pin 3524b and the second slit 3558b of the 3524, but the drive pin 3557b inserted in the first slit 3558a is located directly above the center of revolution. Therefore, the drive pin 3557b does not revolve in any direction.

Therefore, since the drive pin 3557b does not revolve, the elevating cam gear 3557 also does not rotate, so that the link member 3558 does not move downward and the back rear left decorative unit 3520 rotates from the state of the second appearance position. In addition, the force due to the own weight of the back rear left decorative unit 3520 does not act on the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 via the link member 3558, the elevating cam gear 3557, and the like.

In the state where the rear left decorative unit 3520 is in the second appearance position, the elevating cam gear 3557 is further rotated in the counterclockwise direction so that the drive pin 3557b is brought into contact with the left end of the first slit 3558a. Is also good. As a result, when the back rear left decorative unit 3520 tries to rotate clockwise around the support shaft 3551a due to its own weight, and the link member 3558 tries to move downward via the actuating pin 3524b, the second The elevating cam gear 3557 tries to rotate in the counterclockwise direction by the force acting from the slit 3558a via the drive pin 3557b. At this time, the drive pin 3557b tries to revolve so as to move to the left, but since the drive pin 3557b is in contact with the left end of the first slit 3558a, the drive pin 3557b can revolve. Instead, the link member 3558 is prevented from moving downward, and the back rear left decorative unit 3520 can be non-rotatably locked in the state of the second appearance position.

In a state where the back rear left decorative body unit 3520 is rotated from the retracted position to the first appearance position and the second appearance position, the back rear left rotating decorative body 3510 provided on the lower end side is forward (player side). It becomes visible from.

In the back-rear left decorative unit 3520, the back-rear left rotation decoration unit 3510 is rotated by the back-rear left rotation drive motor 3525, so that the back-rear left rotation decoration unit 3510 is rotated via the rotation gear 3527 meshing with the drive gear 3526. It can be rotated about an axis in the anteroposterior direction (see FIG. 183).

Here, the reason why a white resist liquid is used as the color and yellow is used as the silk printing paint will be described. First, the reflectance increases as it approaches white, whereas it decreases as it approaches black. The yellow reflectance is very close to the white reflectance compared to the red reflectance, and the red reflectance is very far from the white reflectance compared to the yellow reflectance. Although the reflectance of yellow is lower than that of white of the white coating film, it has a high reflectance. For this reason, in the combination of white and red, red becomes conspicuous when the background is white, and when the front side notation part (back side notation part) is red, the red front side with respect to the white resist. The notation part (the notation part on the back side of red with respect to the white resist) is conspicuous, whereas in the combination of white and yellow (configuration of the present embodiment), yellow is not conspicuous when the background is white, and the surface surface. When the side notation part (back side notation part) is yellow, the yellow front side notation part (yellow back side notation part with respect to the white resist) is inconspicuous with respect to the white resist.

Further, since the pachinko machine 1 brilliantly emits light by illumination by light emitting parts such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on each decorative substrate, the plurality of LEDs are full-color LEDs capable of emitting multiple colors as described above. The light emitting mode changes variously depending on whether the light is turned on (lights) or turned off. Therefore, as described above, a white resist liquid is applied to the surface (front surface) of the back-right decorative substrate 3622 in the entire area excluding the pads, through-holes, lands, etc. to which the plurality of LEDs are soldered. A white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “solid white resist”) formed by the white coating film, and further, a large amount is formed on the solid white resist. The front side notation that makes it possible to identify a full-color LED that can emit color is printed with yellow paint by silk printing, so that the front side that is yellow with respect to the white resist when the full-color LED that can emit multiple colors is turned off. In addition to being able to make the notation inconspicuous, when the full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is lit (when emitting light), a solid white resist with high reflectance and white reflectance It is possible to maintain a high reflectance on the surface (front surface) of the back-right decorative substrate 3622 by combining with the front-side notation portion printed by silk printing with a yellow paint very close to.

When yellow is used as the paint for silk printing, the yellow printed by silk printing may become light yellow or dark yellow due to variations due to the printing machine, or it may appear orange. In some cases. In addition, since the ink companies that supply silk printing paints also have a range of yellow (yellow toward the bright side, yellow due to the dark side), they can be used as silk printing paint for the same board manufacturing company or multiple board companies. Even if yellow is specified, it does not become exactly the same yellow (it is difficult to make it exactly the same yellow), but yellow has a wide range of colors.

The back rear right relay board 3661 relays the connection between the back rear right decorative board 3622, the back rear right rotation drive motor 3625, the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654, and the back rear right elevating detection sensor 3662, and the effect drive board 1720. It is for doing.

Subsequently, the operation of the back-right effect unit 3600 will be described. In a normal state, the back-back right effect unit 3600 is a back-back right decorative body provided with a back-back right rotating decorative body 3610 on the lower end side (tip side) as shown in FIGS. 190 and 191 (a). The unit 3620 is in the hanging retracted position. In this normal state, the back rear right decorative body unit 3620 (back rear right rotating decorative body 3610) is located behind the back front right effect unit 3800, and is invisible from the front (player side). It has become.

Further, in the normal state assembled on the game board 5, the back rear right effect unit 3600 is located behind the back front right decorative body 3040 and the back front right effect unit 3800, and the whole is forward (player side). It is invisible from.

In this normal state, the detection piece 3657c of the elevating cam gear 3657 is detected by the back-rear right elevating detection sensor 3662. Further, in a normal state, the drive pin 3657b of the elevating cam gear 3657 is located directly below the center of rotation of the elevating cam gear 3657, and is located near the right end in the first slit 3658a of the link member 3658. Further, in the normal state, the link member 3658 is located at the lower moving end, and the operating pin 3624b located to the left of the shaft hole 3624a of the movable base 3624 in the back rear right decorative unit 3620 It is located near the right end in the second slit 3658b of the link member 3658.

In this normal state, the link member 3658 is urged in the direction of moving upward by the spring 3569, but the normal line passing through the contact point in contact with the first slit 3658a in the drive pin 3657b of the elevating cam gear 3657 is formed. Since it passes through the center of rotation of the elevating cam gear 3657 (the center of revolution of the drive pin 3657b), even if an upward force acts on the drive pin 3657b via the first slit 3658a due to the urging force of the spring 3569, the drive pin 3657b Does not revolve in any direction, and the link member 3658 does not move upward. Therefore, since the link member 3658 does not move upward, the back rear right decorative body unit 3620 (back rear right rotating decorative body 3610) is centered on the shaft hole 3624a (support shaft 3651a) of the movable base 3624 from the retracted position. It does not rotate, and the urging force of the spring 3569 does not act on the back rear right evacuation drive motor 3654 via the link member 3658, the evacuation cam gear 3657, and the like.

In a normal state, the drive pin 3657b of the elevating cam gear 3657 may be brought into contact with the right end of the first slit 3658a. As a result, when the link member 3658 tries to move upward due to the urging force of the spring 3569, the elevating cam gear 3657 tries to rotate in the counterclockwise direction due to the force acting from the first slit 3658a via the drive pin 3657b. .. At this time, the drive pin 3657b of the evacuation cam gear 3657 tries to revolve in the direction of moving to the right, but the drive pin 3657b is in contact with the right end of the first slit 3658a, so that the drive pin 3657b Can not revolve, and the upward movement of the link member 3658 is locked via the elevating cam gear 3657, and the rotation of the back rear right decorative unit 3620 from the retracted position can be prevented.

In this normal state, when the motor gear 3655 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the back-rear right elevating drive motor 3654, the elevating cam gear 3657 is rotated in the clockwise direction via the gear portion 3657a, and the elevating cam gear 3657 The drive pin 3657b of the above revolves in the clockwise direction. When the drive pin 3657b revolves in the clockwise direction, it slides to the left in the first slit 3658a while pressing the inner surface of the first slit 3658a upward, and the link member 3658 moves upward. It becomes.

When the link member 3658 moves upward, the actuating pin 3624b of the movable base 3624 of the back rear right decorative unit 3620 protruding below and to the left of the support shaft 3651a is moved upward by the inner surface of the second slit 3658b of the link member 3658. The movable base 3624 rotates clockwise around the support shaft 3651a while the operating pin 3624b slides to the left in the second slit 3658b, and the back rear right decorative unit 3620 retracts. It will rotate in the clockwise direction from the position (see FIGS. 191 (a) and 191 (b)). At this time, the urging force of the spring 3659 assists the link member 3658 to move upward, reducing the load applied to the back-rear right elevating drive motor 3654.

In this way, the back rear right decorative body unit 3620 rotates clockwise around the support shaft 3651a, so that the back rear right rotating decorative body 3610 provided on the lower end side moves to the left. It will move upward, and the back-back clockwise decorative body 3610 will move to the left of the back-front-right effect unit 3800, and will be visible from the front (player side).

In the back-rear right effect unit 3600 of the present embodiment, the rotation position of the back-rear right decoration unit 3620 when the elevating cam gear 3657 is rotated about 90 degrees clockwise from the normal state (retracted state). Is the first appearance position (see FIG. 191 (b)). In the state of the first appearance position, the rear right decorative unit 3620 is rotated about 44 degrees in the clockwise direction from the state of the retracted position.

Then, when the elevating cam gear 3657 further rotates in the clockwise direction from the state of the first appearance position, the drive pin 3657b slides to the right in the first slit 3658a. Then, when the drive pin 3657b moves to just above the center of revolution (when it revolves 180 degrees from the normal state), the rotation of the motor gear 3655 by the back-right elevating drive motor 3654 stops, and at the same time, the revolution of the drive pin 3657b stops. ..

As a result, the upward movement of the link member 3658 is stopped, the rotation of the back rear right decorative unit 3620 in the clockwise direction is stopped, and the state of the second appearance position is reached (FIG. 191 (c)). See). In the state of the second appearance position, the rear right decorative unit 3620 is rotated about 74 degrees in the clockwise direction from the state of the retracted position.

In the state where the rear right decorative unit 3620 is in the second appearance position, the drive pin 3657b is located directly above the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3657. In this state, due to the weight of the back rear right decorative body unit 3620, a force that causes the back rear right decorative unit 3620 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction around the support shaft 3651a acts, and the force moves. The link member 3658 tries to move downward via the actuating pin 3624b and the second slit 3658b of the base 3624, but the drive pin 3657b inserted in the first slit 3658a is located directly above the center of revolution. Therefore, the drive pin 3657b does not revolve in any direction.

Therefore, since the drive pin 3657b does not revolve, the elevating cam gear 3657 does not rotate either, so that the link member 3658 does not move downward and the back rear right decorative unit 3620 rotates from the state of the second appearance position. In addition, the force due to the own weight of the back rear right decorative body unit 3620 does not act on the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654 via the link member 3658, the elevating cam gear 3657, and the like.

(Furthermore, the surface side notation part indicating the shape of the surface side electronic component, the size of the surface side electronic component, the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the surface side electronic component, and the model of the surface side electronic component may be included.) The surface (mounting surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3714 is printed by silk printing in a predetermined paint color, and the back front left decorative substrate 3714 is arranged behind the transparent back front left decorative body 3713. Therefore, in the open state in which the inside of the frame of the front cover 3711 is opened, the color of the predetermined paint printed on the surface (mounting surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3714 by silk printing is passed through the back front left decorative body 3713. If the color of a predetermined paint can be visually recognized in a state where a plurality of LEDs are turned off, the characters, symbols, and shapes (that is, the surface side notation portion) are displayed according to the color of the predetermined paint. The attributes of the surface-side electronic components shown) can be determined.

Further, each of the plurality of LEDs mounted on the surface (mounting surface) of the front left decorative substrate 3714 is made of white resin (a color recognized to be the same color as white).

A white resist solution is applied to the surface (front surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3714 in the entire area except for pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which a plurality of LEDs (surface mount type) are soldered. A white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “solid white resist”). On the back surface (rear surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3714, a white resist is applied with a solid white resist in the entire area except for pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which various connectors (surface mount type) are soldered. Layers are formed. Further, on the front surface (front surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3714, although not shown, the component numbers of the surface side electronic components and the surface side electrons are located in the vicinity of the surface side electronic components such as a plurality of mounted LEDs. Attributes of surface-side electronic components such as an area indicating the position where the component is placed (Furthermore, the shape of the surface-side electronic component, the size of the surface-side electronic component, the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the surface-side electronic component, and the surface-side electronic component. The front side notation part indicating (may include the model) is printed by silk printing on a solid white resist with a yellow paint which is a light color that is inconspicuous with respect to white. On the back surface (rear surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3714, although not shown, the component numbers of the back surface side electronic components and the positions where the back surface side electronic components are arranged are located in the vicinity of the back surface side electronic components such as a plurality of connectors.

The notation on the back side indicating (there is)) is printed by silk printing on a solid white resist with a bright yellow paint that is inconspicuous with respect to white.

Here, the reason why a white resist liquid is used as the color and yellow is used as the silk printing paint will be described. First, the reflectance increases as it approaches white, whereas it decreases as it approaches black. The yellow reflectance is very close to the white reflectance compared to the red reflectance, and the red reflectance is very far from the white reflectance compared to the yellow reflectance. Although the reflectance of yellow is lower than that of white of the white coating film, it has a high reflectance. For this reason, in the combination of white and red, red becomes conspicuous when the background is white, and when the front side notation part (back side notation part) is red, the red front side with respect to the white resist. The notation part (the notation part on the back side of red with respect to the white resist) is conspicuous, whereas in the combination of white and yellow (configuration of the present embodiment), yellow is not conspicuous when the background is white, and the surface surface. When the side notation part (back side notation part) is yellow, the yellow front side notation part (yellow back side notation part with respect to the white resist) is inconspicuous with respect to the white resist.

Further, since the pachinko machine 1 brilliantly emits light by illumination by light emitting parts such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on each decorative substrate, the plurality of LEDs are full-color LEDs capable of emitting multiple colors as described above. The light emitting mode changes variously depending on whether the light is turned on (lights) or turned off. Therefore, as described above, a white resist liquid is applied to the surface (front surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3714 in the entire area excluding the pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which the plurality of LEDs are soldered. A white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “solid white resist”) formed by the white coating film, and further, a large amount is formed on the solid white resist. The front side notation that makes it possible to identify a full-color LED that can emit color is printed with yellow paint by silk printing, so that the front side that is yellow with respect to the white resist when the full-color LED that can emit multiple colors is turned off. In addition to being able to make the notation inconspicuous, when the full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is lit (when emitting light), a solid white resist with high reflectance and white reflectance The high reflectance of the front surface (front surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3714 can be maintained by combining with the front side notation portion printed by silk printing with a yellow paint very close to.

When yellow is used as the paint for silk printing, the yellow printed by silk printing may become light yellow or dark yellow due to variations due to the printing machine, or it may appear orange. In some cases. In addition, since the ink companies that supply silk printing paints also have a range of yellow (yellow toward the bright side, yellow due to the dark side), they can be used as silk printing paint for the same board manufacturing company or multiple board companies. Even if yellow is specified, it does not become exactly the same yellow (it is difficult to make it exactly the same yellow), but yellow has a wide range of colors.

The support plate 3716 extends vertically with the plate surface facing left and right, and is formed in a shape in which the front end side is bent to the right. In the support plate 3716, a portion bent to the right on the front end side is attached to the front surface of the boss portion 3712b of the shutter support member 3712, and the remaining portion projects rearward through the left side of the shutter support member 3712.

The pattern is given. The back front right decorative body 3813 functions as an inner lens capable of diffusing the light from the LED of the back front right decorative substrate 3814. The surface of the back front right decorative body 3813, which is an inner lens, is lens-cut (formed into a polyhedron) so that light can be diffusely refracted, and behind the back front right decorative body 3813. It is difficult for the player to clearly see the plurality of LEDs mounted on the front surface of the arranged back front right decorative board 3814. The front surface and the back surface of the back front right decorative body 3813 may be lens-cut (may be formed into a polyhedron), or the back surface may be replaced with the front right decorative body 3813. May be lens-cut (may be formed into a polyhedron). The plurality of LEDs mounted on the surface (mounting surface) of the front right decorative substrate 3814 are surface mount type full-color LEDs capable of emitting multiple colors.

In the open state in which the inside of the frame of the front cover 3811 is opened, the back front right decorative body 3813 provided behind the shutter unit 3830 becomes visible from the front, as will be described later. In this open state, since the back front right decorative body 3813 is transparently formed, the surface (mounting) of the back front right decorative substrate 3814 arranged behind the back front right decorative body 3813 through the back front right decorative body 3813. The surface) can be visually recognized.

The attributes of the front-side electronic components such as the part numbers of the front-side electronic components such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on the surface (mounting surface) of the back front right decorative substrate 3814 and the area indicating the position where the front-side electronic components are arranged. (Furthermore, the surface side notation part indicating the shape of the surface side electronic component, the size of the surface side electronic component, the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the surface side electronic component, and the model of the surface side electronic component may be included.) The front right decorative substrate 3814 is printed on the surface (mounting surface) of the back front right decorative substrate 3814 by silk printing in a predetermined paint color, and the back front right decorative substrate 3814 is arranged behind the transparent back front right decorative body 3813. Therefore, in the open state in which the inside of the frame of the front cover 3811 is opened, the color of the predetermined paint printed on the surface (mounting surface) of the back front right decorative substrate 3814 by silk printing is passed through the back front right decorative body 3813. If the color of a predetermined paint can be visually recognized in a state where a plurality of LEDs are turned off, the characters, symbols, and shapes (that is, the surface side notation portion) are displayed according to the color of the predetermined paint. The attributes of the surface-side electronic components shown) can be determined.

Further, each of the plurality of LEDs mounted on the surface (mounting surface) of the front right decorative substrate 3814 is made of white resin (a color recognized to be the same color as white).

A white resist solution is applied to the surface (front surface) of the back front right decorative substrate 3814 in the entire area except for pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which a plurality of LEDs (surface mount type) are soldered. A white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “solid white resist”). Back Front Right On the back surface (rear surface) of the decorative substrate 3814, a white resist is applied with a solid white resist in the entire area except for the pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which various connectors (surface mount type) are soldered. Layers are formed. Further, on the front surface (front surface) of the back front right decorative substrate 3814, although not shown, the component numbers of the surface side electronic components and the surface side electrons are located in the vicinity of the surface side electronic components such as a plurality of mounted LEDs. Attributes of surface-side electronic components such as an area indicating the position where the component is placed (Furthermore, the shape of the surface-side electronic component, the size of the surface-side electronic component, the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the surface-side electronic component, and the surface-side electronic component. The front side notation part indicating (may include the model) is printed by silk printing on a solid white resist with a yellow paint which is a light color that is inconspicuous with respect to white. On the back surface (rear surface) of the back front right decorative board 3814, although not shown, the component numbers of the back surface side electronic components and the positions where the back surface side electronic components are arranged are located in the vicinity of the back surface side electronic components such as a plurality of connectors.

The notation on the back side indicating) is printed by silk printing on a solid white resist with a bright yellow paint that is inconspicuous with respect to white.

Here, the reason why a white resist liquid is used as the color and yellow is used as the silk printing paint will be described. First, the reflectance increases as it approaches white, whereas it decreases as it approaches black. The yellow reflectance is very close to the white reflectance compared to the red reflectance, and the red reflectance is very far from the white reflectance compared to the yellow reflectance. Although the reflectance of yellow is lower than that of white of the white coating film, it has a high reflectance. For this reason, in the combination of white and red, red becomes conspicuous when the background is white, and when the front side notation part (back side notation part) is red, the red front side with respect to the white resist. The notation part (the notation part on the back side of red with respect to the white resist) is conspicuous, whereas in the combination of white and yellow (configuration of the present embodiment), yellow is not conspicuous when the background is white, and the surface surface. When the side notation part (back side notation part) is yellow, the yellow front side notation part (yellow back side notation part with respect to the white resist) is inconspicuous with respect to the white resist.

Further, since the pachinko machine 1 brilliantly emits light by illumination by light emitting parts such as a plurality of LEDs mounted on each decorative substrate, the plurality of LEDs are full-color LEDs capable of emitting multiple colors as described above. The light emitting mode changes variously depending on whether the light is turned on (lights) or turned off. Therefore, as described above, a white resist liquid is applied to the surface (front surface) of the back front right decorative substrate 3814 in the entire area excluding the pads, through holes, lands, etc. to which the plurality of LEDs are soldered. A white resist layer is formed by a white coating film (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “solid white resist”) formed by the white coating film, and further, a large amount is formed on the solid white resist. The front side notation that makes it possible to identify a full-color LED that can emit color is printed with yellow paint by silk printing, so that the front side that is yellow with respect to the white resist when the full-color LED that can emit multiple colors is turned off. In addition to being able to make the notation inconspicuous, when the full-color LED capable of multicolor emission is lit (when emitting light), a solid white resist with high reflectance and white reflectance The high reflectance of the surface (front surface) of the back front right decorative substrate 3814 can be maintained by combining with the front side notation portion printed by silk printing with a yellow paint very close to.

When yellow is used as the paint for silk printing, the yellow printed by silk printing may become light yellow or dark yellow due to variations due to the printing machine, or it may appear orange. In some cases. In addition, since the ink companies that supply silk printing paints also have a range of yellow (yellow toward the bright side, yellow due to the dark side), they can be used as silk printing paint for the same board manufacturing company or multiple board companies. Even if yellow is specified, it does not become exactly the same yellow (it is difficult to make it exactly the same yellow), but yellow has a wide range of colors.

The support plate 3816 extends vertically with the plate surface facing left and right, and is formed in a shape in which the front end side is bent to the left. In the support plate 3816, a portion bent to the left on the front end side is attached to the front surface of the boss portion 3812b of the shutter support member 3812, and the remaining portion projects rearward through the right side of the shutter support member 3812.

Can improve the appearance of. Further, although the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are provided with the opaque decorative sticker 3032 and the decorative sticker 3042, the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are each based 3031. And since the base 3041 (which may include the decorative sticker 3032 and the decorative sticker 3042) is made of a transparent member, the light from various LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 is emitted from the back front left decorative body 3030 or the back. It is possible to give the impression that the front right decorative body 3040 reaches the front right decorative body 3040 and the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 emit light. It can be said that the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are arranged at positions where the light from various LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 reaches.

Further, since the back front left decorative body 3030 covers at least a part of the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 as a functional part, it can be understood that it is a functional part by covering it to some extent without covering the whole. It becomes spicy and can look like part of a decoration. Therefore, even if the back front left decorative body 3030 is not sized to cover the entire back rear left elevating drive motor 3554, the same effects as described above can be obtained, and thus the back front left decorative body The game area 5a can be made to look larger while reducing the cost of 3030. The back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 cover and hide at least a part of the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654, but some of them are pachinko machines. It is desirable that the portion is closer to the center of 1 (the portion closer to the boundary line that divides the inside of the game area 5a and the outside of the game area 5a). Further, it extends from the inside of the game area 5a to the outside of the game area 5a even for a predetermined place where there is no drive source outside the game area 5a (a place in the lower left in FIG. 131, that is, a place in the lower left corner in the game board 5). By providing the decorative body, the game area 5a can be made to look larger.

Further, the inside of the frame of the front component 1000 that divides the outer circumference of the game area 5a is closed from the rear by the transparent game panel 1100, and the game area 5a is located on the front side of the game panel 1100. Therefore, the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are provided on the rear side of the game area 5a. Therefore, in front view, the inside and outside of the game area 5a can be decorated from the rear by the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 extending from the inside of the game area 5a to the outside of the game area 5a. The same effect can be obtained, and the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 do not interfere with the game ball B in the game area 5a, and the game in the game area 5a is smooth. It can be entertained and the decline in interest can be suppressed.

Further, since the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are extended to the outside of the door window 101a of the door frame 3 in the front view, the back front left decorative body in the door window 101a The back rear left effect unit 3500 and the back rear right effect unit 3600 behind the 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 can be made invisible, and the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved. Further, since the back front left decorative body 3030 is extended to the extent that the inner part of the door window 101a of the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 as a functional component is hidden, the back front left decorative body 3030 raises and lowers the back rear left. Even if the entire drive motor 3554 is not covered, the uncovered portion can be covered by the frame-shaped door frame 3, so that it is possible to prevent the back front left decorative body 3030 from becoming longer than necessary. The cost of the back front left decorative body 3030 (pachinko machine 1) can be reduced.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front surface of the two general winning openings 2001 from the right of the side unit 2200 in the front unit 2000 of the game board 5 is inclined toward the game panel 1100. On the other hand, in the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100, the front wall portion 2101 forming the front surface is parallel to the game panel 1100, and the front surface is decorated with translucency. Since the (seal is attached), the front surface of the first starting port 2002 faces forward (player side), and the first starting port 2002 can be made more conspicuous than the general winning opening 2001. Therefore, since it is possible to make it easier for the player to direct the player's consciousness toward the first starting port 2002 than to the general winning opening 2001, the number of game balls B accepted by the first starting port 2002 decreases (or the first starting). It is possible to avoid that the player's consciousness is concentrated on the general winning opening 2001 rather than the opening 2002), and the lottery of the first special lottery result performed by accepting the game ball B to the first starting opening 2002. It is possible to raise the expectation for the player and suppress the decline in interest, and at the same time, it is possible to make the player surely recognize the position of the first starting port 2002 that the player should aim at, and the player aimed at the first starting port 2002. You can entertain the game.

Then, depending on whether or not the game ball B in the game area 5a is accepted by the first start port 2002, the player can be disturbed, and when the game ball B is received by the first start port 2002, Depending on whether or not a winning (for example, "big hit") in which an advantageous gaming state is generated by the lottery of the first special lottery result is drawn, the player can be thrilled and excited, and the expectation for the game is raised. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest. After that, when the winner is drawn by the lottery of the first special lottery result, an advantageous gaming state occurs in which the first prize opening 2005 and the second prize opening 2006 open and close in a predetermined pattern, which greatly enjoys the player. It is possible to suppress the decline in the interest in the game. At this time, if the game ball B aiming at the first starting port 2002 is accepted by the general winning opening 2001, the game ball B is paid out as a privilege although the lottery of the first special lottery result is not performed. , The player is not discouraged, and the game can be continuously enjoyed and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed.

Further, the first front wall portion 2203 of the general winning opening 2001 is inclined with respect to the surface of the game panel 1100, and the front wall portion 2101 of the first starting port 2002 is made parallel to the surface of the game panel 1100. Since the form (appearance) of the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 will be significantly different, a sticker is attached to the front surface of the first starting opening 2002 and a sticker is attached to the front surface of the general winning opening 2001. Even if it is not attached, it does not give a sense of discomfort to the player, it is possible to prevent the pachinko machine 1 from becoming unattractive, and the player can enjoy the game with the pachinko machine 1 and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

Further, since the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 are formed of a transparent member, the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 is visually recognized through the transparent member. Therefore, it is possible to make the player surely recognize that the game ball B has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting opening 2002, and to fully enjoy the joy of being accepted. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the decline in interest. Further, since the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 are formed of transparent members, the light of the illumination in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed and the light emitted from the pachinko machine 1 are provided. Since the light from the means (LED on the decorative substrate) can be reflected, refracted, or diffused, the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 can be made to look gorgeous and look good. Therefore, the appealing power to the player can be enhanced.

Further, in the general winning opening 2001, the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front surface is inclined toward the game panel 1100, and in the first starting opening 2002, the accepted game ball B is used as the general winning opening. Since the game ball B is guided backward later than the game ball B received in 2001, the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002 where the lottery of the first special lottery result is performed is used as the general winning opening 2001. Since it is possible to guide the game ball B to the rear at a later timing than the received game ball B, the game ball B received at the first starting port 2002 can be shown to the player for a relatively long time. Therefore, when the game ball B is accepted at the first starting port 2002 where the lottery of the first special lottery result is performed, the joy (superiority complex) due to the acceptance of the game ball B at the first starting port 2002 is a general prize. The player can be allowed to taste the game ball B for a longer time than when the game ball B is received in the mouth 2001, and the player can be entertained and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed.

Further, since the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front surface of the general winning opening 2001 is inclined toward the game panel 1100, the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 is immediately rearward (). Since it can be guided to the game panel 1100 side) and discharged faster than the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002, it is useless for the game ball B being received in the general winning opening 2001. It is possible to suppress the feeling of the player for a long time, to direct the player's attention to the next game ball B, to advance the game smoothly, and to suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, in the general winning opening 2001, a part of the game ball B passes in front of the first front wall portion 2203 after the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front surface is inclined with respect to the game panel 1100. In order to make it possible, when the game ball B passes in front of the first front wall portion 2203 of the general winning opening 2001, most of the game ball B overlaps with the general winning opening 2001 in the front view. Depending on the player, the game ball B can be made to have the illusion that it has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001, and the player can be entertained. At this time, since a part of the game ball B does not overlap with the general winning opening 2001, it is not strongly recognized that the game ball B has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001, and it may be considered as an illusion. Therefore, even if the privilege (lottery of the first special lottery result) is not given after that, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrust of the pachinko machine 1 and the game hall side. It is possible to continue to enjoy the game and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the first front wall portion 2203 of the general winning opening 2001 is inclined toward the game panel 1100, the amount of material applied to the general winning opening 2001 (side unit 2200) can be reduced, and the general winning opening 2001 (side unit 2200) can be reduced. Decoration such as a seal can be omitted on the front surface of the mouth 2001. Therefore, since the cost required for the general winning opening 2001 can be reduced, the pachinko machine 1 can be made more entertaining to the player by turning the amount into a production device or the like.

Further, according to the present embodiment, in the back bottom middle decoration unit 3320 of the back bottom middle effect unit 3300 in the back unit 3000, the rotating back bottom middle rotation having a plurality of (here, 6 places) stop positions at an even position. The decorative body 3310 is provided with an area detection piece 3325 having a length extending to half of the stop positions and a plurality of position detection pieces 3326 corresponding to each stop position (here, six), and an area detection piece 3325. Multiple (here, three) area identification sensors 3330 consisting of half of the stop positions that detect the above, and one position identification sensor 3331 that detects the position detection piece 3326, and multiple (here four) sensors. Since it is provided, when the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 rotates, the plurality of area identification sensors 3330 that detect the area detection piece 3325 repeatedly increase in order from one side in the rotation direction and then decrease. Therefore, by combining the area identification sensor 3330 that detects the area detection piece 3325, the current rotation position of the back lower middle rotation decoration body 3310 can be roughly grasped.

More specifically, in the case of the back lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 having six stop positions from the first stop position to the sixth stop position in the rotation direction, three side-by-side stop positions in which the area detection piece 3325 is half. The number of the minimum area identification sensors 3330 required for detecting the movement to an arbitrary stop position is three, which is half of the number of stop positions. Then, the three area identification sensors 3330 are set as the first area identification sensor 3330a, the second area identification sensor 3330b, and the third area identification sensor 3330c in the rotation direction, and the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 is in the first stop position. At the time of (position of the decorative number of "3"), it is assumed that only the first area identification sensor 3330a detects the area detection piece 3325. When the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the second stop position (the position of the decorative number “2”) from this state, the first area identification sensor 3330a and the second area identification sensor 3330b detect the area detection piece 3325. To do. Further, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the third stop position (the position of the decorative number “1”), the first region identification sensor 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c The area detection piece 3325 is detected.

Further, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the fourth stop position (the position of the decorative number of "6"), the first area identification sensor 3330a is not detected, and the second area identification sensor 3330b and the third area identification are specified. The sensor 3330c detects the area detection piece 3325. Further, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the fifth stop position (the position of the decorative number of "5"), the second area identification sensor 3330b is not detected, and only the third area identification sensor 3330c is the area detection piece. Detects 3325. Then, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the sixth stop position (the position of the decorative number of "4"), the third area identification sensor 3330c is also undetected, and all the area identification sensors 3330 are the area detection piece 3325. Is not detected. After that, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates, it rotates to the first stop position (the position of the decorative number of "3"), and only the first area identification sensor 3330a detects the area detection piece 3325. In the initial state, the detection / non-detection of the region identification sensor 3330 as described above is repeated as the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back is rotated.

In this way, since the area detection piece 3325 having a length extending over half of the stop positions is provided, the area detection piece 3325 is detected by a plurality of area identification sensors 3330, and the rotation is decorated in the lower back. The rotation of the body 3310 can be detected, and all the area identification sensors 3330 are not undetected even until the rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the next stop position. The current position of the medium-rotating decorative body 3310 can be roughly grasped.

Since the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 is provided with a plurality of (six in this case) position detection pieces 3326 corresponding to the respective stop positions, the area detection pieces 3325 by the plurality of area identification sensors 3330 After roughly detecting the rotation of the lower back middle rotation decoration 3310 to an arbitrary stop position by detection, the stop position can be accurately detected by detecting the position detection piece 3326 by one position identification sensor 3331. , The deviation of the stop position can be minimized, and the stop position of the back lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 having a plurality of stop positions can be accurately grasped.

Further, since the stop position of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately grasped, the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately stopped at an arbitrary stop position, and the game can be played by shifting the stop position. It is possible to prevent giving a person a sense of discomfort (discomfort), to entertain the effect (movable effect) by the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back, and to suppress the decline in interest. The pachinko machine 1 can realize the operation of the movable body (rotating decorative body 3310 under the back) that does not cause discomfort to the player.

Further, since the stop position of the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately grasped, the deviation of the stop position can be suppressed even if the rotation speed of the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is increased, and the back side can be suppressed. By rotating the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310, the moving speed (rotational speed) of the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is higher than that in the case where the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is reciprocated. Can be faster. Therefore, the fast-rotating under-back middle-rotating decorative body 3310 can give a strong impact to the player, can strongly attract the player's attention, and can rotate the under-back middle-rotating decorative body 3310. It can be entertained, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

Further, by rotating the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 around the axis in the front-rear direction, the rotating surface of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 faces the player side in front, and it is arbitrary after rotating round and round. Since it is possible to show the player an effect like a roulette that stops rotating at the stop position of, the player is thrilled and excited depending on whether or not the rotating ornament 3310 under the back bottom stops rotating at the desired stop position. It is possible to entertain the movable effect by the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the number of stop positions of the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 is an even number, the stop positions that can be supported by the minimum number of sensors (area identification sensor 3330) necessary for detecting the movement to an arbitrary stop position. The number of the number is the same as the number of the stop position of the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back, and the ability (grasp of the stop position) by a plurality of sensors (area identification sensor 3330 and position identification sensor 3331) is maximized. It is possible to entertain the player and suppress the deterioration of the interest by the back lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 having more stop positions.

In the above embodiment, the back unit 3000 has 6 stop positions as the back bottom middle rotation decorative body 3310 in the back bottom middle effect unit 3300, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may have 4 to 10 stop positions.

Further, in the above embodiment, a movable body having a plurality of stop positions (rotating decorative body 3310 under the back) is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the movable body has a plurality of stop positions. These may be "circling", "linearly moving", "arc-shaped moving", "curved moving", and the like.

[6. Game content]
The content of the game played by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 115 and 130. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball B stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 is operated by the player by rotating the handle 182 of the handle unit 180 arranged in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3. However, the game board 5 is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002, and the game by the game ball B is started. The game ball B driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the driving strength. The striking strength of the game ball B can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle 182, and the more it is rotated in the clockwise direction, the stronger the striking can be, and a maximum of 100 game balls can be continuously driven per minute. B, that is, the game ball B can be hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails N are planted in front of the game panel 1100 at appropriate positions in a predetermined gauge arrangement, and the game ball B comes into contact with the obstacle nails N to cause the game ball. The flow speed of B is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball B so that the movements can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail N, a windmill W that rotates due to the contact of the game ball B is provided above the side upper left unit 2300 and to the left of the center accessory 2500.

When the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front view from the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, it comes into contact with a plurality of obstacle nails N while contacting the plurality of obstacle nails N. It will flow down the area on the left side of the center accessory 2500. Then, when the game ball B flowing down the area on the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2511 opened in the peripheral wall portion 2501 of the center accessory 2500, it is supplied from the warp outlet 2512 to the stage 2513.

The game ball B supplied to the stage 2513 rolls on the stage 2513 and moves back and forth to the left and right, and is discharged forward from the central portion in the left-right direction. When the game ball B is discharged into the game area 5a from the central discharge portion 2513a in the center of the stage 2513, the central discharge portion 2513a is located directly above the first starting port 2002, so that the first is likely to occur. Accepted at the start port 2002. When the game balls B are received in the first starting port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. At the same time, in the main control board 1310, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, "big hit", "medium hit", "small hit", "probability fluctuation (probability change) hit", "time reduction (time reduction)" A lottery of the special lottery result (first special lottery result) that generates "win" is performed.

The game ball B released into the game area 5a from the stage 2513 of the center accessory 2500 may be received by the first start port 2002 of the start port unit 2100.

By the way, when the game ball B that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2511, it is moved to the center side in the left-right direction by the shelf portion 2301 of the side upper left unit 2300 and the obstacle nail N, and the side unit 2200. There is a possibility that it will be accepted into the general winning opening 2001, the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100, or the like. Then, when the game balls B are received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Will be done.

On the other hand, when the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest portion of the peripheral wall portion 2501 of the center accessory 2500, the guide of the center accessory 2500 is guided. A plurality of passages are discharged above the gate portion 2003 through either the first guide passage 2521 or the second guide passage 2522 of the passage group 2520 and are planted between the guide passage group 2520 and the gate portion 2003. After contacting the obstacle nail N, it passes through the gate portion 2003 with a certain probability.

In the guide passage group 2520 of the center accessory 2500, the first guide passage 2521 having an entrance opened in the vicinity of the abutment portion 1006 and the entrance of the first guide passage 2521 are opened at intervals to the left. It is composed of a second guide passage 2522 and the like. As a result, when the game ball B is hit with a strength that abuts on the abutting portion 1006 (so-called right-handed striking), it enters the first guide passage 2521 and has a strength that does not abut on the abutting portion 1006 (right-handed striking). When the game ball B is hit with a strength that is weaker to some extent), it enters the second guide passage 2522 with a high probability. That is, the game ball B driven into the upper right side of the center accessory 2500 circulates in either the first guide passage 2521 or the second guide passage 2522 according to the driving strength.

In the present embodiment, the game ball B is configured to pass through the gate portion 2003 with a higher probability when the second guide passage 2522 is circulated than the first guide passage 2521. Further, the second guide passage 2522 is configured to pass through the gate portion 2003 and the left side of the gate portion 2003 with a higher probability than the first guide passage 2521.

When the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 and is detected by the gate sensor 2801, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310, and when the lottery normal lottery result is "normal hit", the first attacker unit The closed second starting port 2004 in the 2400 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 to 10 seconds), and the game ball B can be accepted into the second starting port 2004.

In the present embodiment, in the ordinary lottery performed by the game ball B passing through the gate portion 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the ordinary lottery until the result of the ordinary lottery is suggested (for example, 0). 0.01-600 seconds, also referred to as normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second starting port 2004 is normally opened after the lapse of the fluctuation time. In addition, the normal fluctuation time from the start of the normal lottery to the suggestion of the normal lottery result is set to a relatively long time (600 seconds in this example) in the normal time (non-time reduction state), and the time reduction time (600 seconds in this example). (Time saving state) is changed in a short time. As a result, the normal lottery result is frequently derived during the time saving time (time saving state), so that the second starting port 2004 is frequently opened. In this way, since the second starting port 2004 is frequently opened in the time saving time (time saving state), the game aiming at the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 2004 (so-called "right-handed") is performed. Will do.

If the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 between the time when the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 and the time when the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of suggestion of the normal lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the previous normal lottery result is completed. In addition, the maximum number of pending lottery results is four, and even if the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003, the number of pending results is discarded without being reserved. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

The game ball B passing through the gate portion 2003 and the left side of the gate portion 2003 has a high probability of being the side right middle unit 2700 due to a plurality of obstacle nails N planted between the gate portion 2003 and the side right middle unit 2700. It flows down the left side of the sill, and is sometimes accepted by the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700, and rarely by the second sub-out opening 2012. When the game ball B is accepted into the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700, a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out in the same manner as the general winning opening 2001 of the side unit 2200. On the other hand, when the game ball B is accepted in the second sub-out opening 2012, it is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a without any chance of being accepted in the second big winning opening 2006, the second starting opening 2004, or the first big winning opening 2005. ..

Further, the game ball B passing through the right side of the gate portion 2003 is received by the second sub-out port 2012 of the side right middle unit 2700, and the general winning opening 2001, the second major winning opening 2006, and the second of the side right middle unit 2700. It is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a without any chance of being accepted by the starting port 2004 or the first big winning opening 2005.

In this way, when the game ball B is received in the second sub-out port 2012 on the downstream side of the guide passage group 2520, the game ball B is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a, so that the second sub-out to the player It is possible to urge a driving operation so that the game ball B cannot be received by the mouth 2012. In the present embodiment, in the guide passage group 2520 of the center accessory 2500, the second guide passage 2522 has a lower probability of accepting the game ball B of the second sub-out port 2012 than the first guide passage 2521. , It is possible to prompt the driving operation of the game ball B aiming at the second guide passage 2522. That is, rather than "right-handed" in which the game ball B abuts on the abutting portion 1006, it is possible to promote a driving operation that requires a delicate adjustment for the rotation operation of the handle 182, and the driving operation of the game ball B. You can enjoy the original game of the pachinko machine 1 that mainly uses.

The game ball B passing through the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 is guided by a plurality of obstacle nails N planted on the left side of the side right middle unit 2700, and the second big winning opening 2006 in the second attacker unit 2600. After passing to the left of the center, it is discharged to the first attacker unit 2400 side through the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500.

At this time, if the game ball B is accepted in the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004 and a "small hit" is drawn as the result of the first special lottery or the second special lottery, the second big prize is won. Since the mouth 2006 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B that has flowed down the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 is highly likely to be accepted by the second big winning mouth 2006. When the game ball B is received in the second big winning opening 2006 when the second big winning opening 2006 is open, a predetermined number (for example, 10 pieces, or 10 pieces, or a predetermined number) from the payout device 580 by the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 , 13) game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201.

The game ball B released to the first attacker unit 2400 side through the left side of the second prize opening 2006 has the first shelf 2412a, the second starting door 2414, and the second shelf 2412b, and the upper left. After rolling to the left, it is released to the left, and further, the third shelf 2412c, the first prize opening door 2417, and the fourth shelf 2412d roll to the left and enter the game area 5a. It is released.

Then, when the game ball B is rolling on the second start door 2414, the normal lottery result drawn by the passage of the game ball B at the gate portion 2003 is "normal hit", and the second start door When the 2414 is retracted, the game ball B is received by the second starting port 2004. When the game balls B are received in the second starting port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. At the same time, in the main control board 1310, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, "big hit", "medium hit", "small hit", "probability fluctuation (probability change) hit", "time reduction (time reduction)" A lottery of the special lottery result (first special lottery result) that generates "win" is performed.

In addition, when the game ball B is rolling on the first prize opening door 2417, a special lottery result (No. 1) drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004. When the one special lottery result and the second special lottery result) are the special lottery results (for example, "big hit") that generate an advantageous gaming state, the first big winning opening 2005 has a predetermined opening / closing pattern after the lapse of the special fluctuation time. Then, the game ball B can be accepted. When the game ball B is received in the first prize opening 2005 when the first prize opening 2005 is open, the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 provide a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 10) from the payout device 580. , 13) game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the first prize-winning opening 2005 allows the game ball B to be accepted, by having the first prize-winning opening 2005 accept the game ball B, a large number of game balls B can be paid out, and the player can be made to pay out. Can be entertained.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game ball B is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the main control board 1310 has an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit", which is advantageous to the player. A lottery of special lottery results that generate "medium hit", "small hit", "probability fluctuation (probability change) hit", and "time reduction (time reduction) hit" is performed. It is suggested to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also referred to as a special fluctuation time). In addition, a lottery is drawn when the game ball B is accepted at the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004. The special lottery results include "miss", "small hit", "2R big hit", "5R big hit", "15R big hit", "probability change (probability change)", "time reduction (time reduction)", " There are "probability change time reduction hit", "probability change time reduction no hit", "second big hit", etc.

When the special lottery result is "small hit", the second big winning opening 2006 is in an open state where the game ball B can be accepted for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The opening / closing pattern that closes after that is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is "big hit", a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) has elapsed or the first big prize has passed after the first big prize opening 2005 is in an open state where the game ball B can be accepted. When any of the conditions of accepting a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls B to the winning opening 2005 is satisfied, the opening / closing pattern (one opening / closing pattern is 1) that makes the game balls B unacceptable. A predetermined number of times (referred to as a round) is repeated. For example, "2R jackpot" is repeated 2 rounds, "5R jackpot" is 5 rounds, and "15R jackpot" is 15 rounds, respectively, to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

In "big hit", after the big hit game is finished, the probability that the special lottery result such as "big hit" will be drawn is changed ("probability change hit"), or the display time of the effect image suggesting the special lottery result is changed. ("Time saving hit") There is a "hit".

When the special lottery result (for example, the second special lottery result) is "second big hit", ST (special) is set as an advantageous game state after the first big winning opening 2005 enables the game ball B to be accepted in a predetermined pattern.・ Time) is generated. This ST is to maintain a probabilistic change or a time saving state during a predetermined specific number of fluctuations.

In the present embodiment, from the start of the special lottery to the suggestion of the result of the special lottery by accepting the game ball B to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the first start port 2002 and When the game ball B is accepted in the second starting port 2004, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started. Therefore, the suggestion of the special lottery result is started until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. It is put on hold. The number of reserved special lottery results is limited to four for each of the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004, and for more than that, the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004. Even if the game ball B is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is not reserved and is discarded. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

The suggestion of the special lottery result is performed by the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600. In the function display unit 1400, the special lottery result is suggested by being directly controlled by the main control board 1310. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 suggests the special lottery result by repeatedly turning on and off the plurality of LEDs to blink for a predetermined time and then by combining the lit LEDs.

On the other hand, in the effect display device 1600, based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control board 1510 indirectly controls the effect image to suggest the special lottery result. The effect image suggesting the result of the special lottery on the effect display device 1600 is a pattern sequence in which three pattern rows consisting of a plurality of patterns are displayed side by side in the left-right direction, and each pattern sequence is varied to display the pattern. Are stopped and displayed in sequence, and each of the three picture rows is stopped and displayed so that the patterns of the three picture rows that are stopped and displayed are combined with the special lottery result. When the special lottery result is other than "missing", after the three pattern rows are stopped and each pattern is stopped and displayed, a definite image suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the effect display device 1600 and the lottery is performed. An advantageous gaming state (for example, a "small hit" game, a "big hit" game, etc.) occurs according to the result of the special lottery.

The time suggesting the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (LED blinking time (variable time)) and the time suggesting the special lottery result in the effect display device 1600 (the pattern sequence fluctuates and the confirmed image is It is different from the time until it is displayed), and the function display unit 1400 is set to a longer time.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to displaying the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the effect operation in the effect operation unit 300 in the door frame 3 is performed according to the lottery special lottery result.

A gap is formed. Therefore, when the wings of the air-cooled fan FAN mounted in the FAN mounting recess 1501aa rotate, the rotation causes the air in the inner space of the cover body 1501 to be expelled to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500. , Air is taken in from the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the ventilation holes 1501az described above, and the above-mentioned gaps (seven connectors CN1 to CN7 provided in the peripheral control board 1510 and seven formed in the cover body 1501) are taken in.

And the area in the gap formed in) is smaller than the sum of. Therefore, when the wings of the air-cooling fan FAN mounted in the FAN mounting recess 1501aa rotate, the rotation causes the air in the inner space of the cover body 1501 to be expelled to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the wings. When air is taken in from the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover plate 1501a of the cover body 1501, a plurality of ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. It is possible to keep the flow velocity of the air flowing into each of them small.

When the wings of the air-cooling fan FAN attached to the FAN mounting recess 1501aa rotate, the rotation causes the air in the inner space of the cover body 1501 to be expelled to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500. When air is taken in from the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501, each of the ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. The flow velocity of the air flowing into the fan can be kept small, but when the wings of the air-cooling fan FAN mounted in the FAN mounting recess 1501aa rotate, this rotation sucks air through the wings and surrounds it. Air may be sent out toward the control IC 1510a. In other words, the air-cooled fan FAN may not have the main purpose of exchanging air in the space between the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502, but may simply have the main purpose of air-cooling the peripheral control IC 1510a.

The socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1530x of the liquid crystal output board 1530 is inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and pushed into the socket and the plug.

Even if the liquid crystal output board 1530 (peripheral control board 1510) is moved to the maximum within the predetermined distance range described above when viewed from the front, the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN4 is the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. A gap is formed between the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN4 and the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 so as not to come into contact with the special connector SCN4.

Here, the reason why the special connector SCN3 is adopted for the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the special connector SCN4 is adopted for the liquid crystal output board 1530 will be briefly described. The peripheral data ROM board 1520 can store various control information (peripheral data) controlled by the peripheral control board 1510. The peripheral data ROM 1520a (the function of the image ROM of the effect display control unit 1512 described above, etc.) Includes.) As various control information (peripheral data), image data such as a background image, a character image, and a pattern image for drawing various effect images on the effect display device 1600, and various decorative substrates provided in the door frame 3 and the game board 5. Light emission data that defines the light emission modes (lighting, gradation, blinking, extinguishing, etc.) of various LEDs mounted on the door frame 3, sound data such as music, voice, warning sound, notification sound, etc., on the door frame 3 and the game board 5. Drive data and the like for driving and controlling various movable effect bodies provided can be mentioned.

The peripheral data ROM 1520a is a NAND type flash (nonvolatile) memory, which is cheaper than the NOR type flash (nonvolatile) memory, has a large capacity, and can write various data at high speed. The peripheral data ROM 1520a has a low operating voltage, can suppress power consumption, and can realize a high transfer rate by communication conforming to the SATA standard.

In this way, by adopting a NAND flash (nonvolatile) memory as the peripheral data ROM 1520a, it is possible to realize cost reduction, contribute to reduction of power consumption, and read various stored data at a high transfer speed. it can. However, although the peripheral data ROM 1520a can suppress power consumption due to its low operating voltage, it is easily affected by noise due to its low operating voltage. Further, it is necessary to accurately and surely transmit various data stored in the peripheral data ROM 1520a from the peripheral data ROM board 1520 to the peripheral control board 1510. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the configuration of electrically connecting the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the peripheral control board 1510 via a wiring (harness) is not adopted, and the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the peripherals are not adopted. By adopting a configuration in which the control board 1510 is electrically connected by a board-to-board connector, the influence of noise invading the board-to-board transmission line is reduced.

The procedure for mounting various boards in the internal space of the cover body 1501 will be described later, but the peripheral data ROM board 1520 uses the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided on its own surface (mounting surface) 1520x as the surface of the peripheral control board 1510. (Mounting surface) After inserting and pushing into the plug of the special connector SCN1 provided in 1510x, it is necessary to fix the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 together with the peripheral control board 1510 to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a. By adopting the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism, the error in the front-rear direction generated when the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510 is absorbed. As a result, it is possible to prevent damage to the plurality of connection terminals formed on the plug and the socket, and to reliably form a transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520.

Further, as described above, since the cover body 1501 is made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate, the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 may warp after molding, although it is within the design dimensional distance tolerance. is there. Even in such a case, by adopting the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism, the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is fixed to the back surface side of the warped cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510. By absorbing the error in the front-rear direction that occurs during the operation, it is possible to prevent damage to the plurality of connection terminals formed in the plug and the socket, and to provide a transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520. It can be reliably formed.

The liquid crystal output board 1530 outputs the drawing data of the image to be drawn on the effect display device 1600 transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 from the connector CN10, so that the effect display device 1600 proceeds with the game effect (for example, for the player). An image telling that a jackpot gaming state that is more advantageous than the normal state will occur, an image telling that the jackpot gaming state will not occur, and a state in which the jackpot gaming state does not occur but the jackpot gaming state occurs compared to the normal state. It is an important board for drawing images (such as images that convey that you are approaching) and demonstrations (demonstrations that are performed while waiting for the player). Therefore, it is necessary to accurately and surely transmit the drawing data of the image drawn on the effect display device 1600 from the peripheral control board 1510 to the liquid crystal output board 1530. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the liquid crystal output board 1530 and the peripheral control board 1510 are electrically connected to each other via a wiring (harness) is not adopted, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 and the peripheral control board are not connected. By adopting a configuration in which the 1510 is electrically connected by an inter-board connector, the influence of noise invading the inter-board transmission line is reduced.

The procedure for mounting various substrates in the internal space of the cover body 1501 will be described later, but the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 has a socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on its own surface (mounting surface) 1530x, and is mounted on the surface (mounting) of the peripheral control board 1510. (Surface) The peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 must be fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510 after being inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided in the 1510x and pushed in. By adopting the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided with the floating mechanism, the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a to absorb the error in the front-rear direction that occurs when pushing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage to the plurality of connection terminals formed on the plug and the socket, and to reliably form a transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530.

Further, as described above, since the cover body 1501 is made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate, the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 may warp after molding, although it is within the design dimensional distance tolerance. is there. Even in such a case, by adopting the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism, the liquid crystal output board 1530 is fixed to the back surface side of the warped cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510. By absorbing the error in the front-rear direction that occurs at that time, it is possible to prevent damage to the multiple connection terminals formed between the plug and the socket, and to ensure the transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530. Can be formed.

When the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, as described above, the back surface of the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520 Since the back surface and the back surface of the liquid crystal output board 1530 are arranged on the same plane, the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are arranged on the peripheral control board 1510 with respect to the front surface. Compared with the case of three-dimensional arrangement, the distance dimension of the peripheral control unit 1500 in the front-rear direction (that is, the depth direction) can be reduced. Therefore, for example, a large movable effect unit (movable effect body is operated on the game board 5). It can contribute to securing the distance dimension in the depth direction for arranging the electric drive source and the drive mechanism capable of arranging, and various sensors for detecting the origin position and the operating position).

[7-4. How to assemble the peripheral control unit]
Here, a method of assembling the peripheral control unit 1500 will be described.

Subsequently, the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1530x of the liquid crystal output board 1530 is inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and pushed.

Subsequently, in order to attach the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and the front surface of the peripheral data ROM board 1520 ( The surface (mounting surface) 1520x and the front surface (mounting surface) 1530x of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are directed toward the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes 1520r1 and 1520r3 formed in the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 are provided on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. It is inserted into the mounting boss protrusions 1501ai1 and 1501ai2 to be formed, and the through holes 1530r2 and 1530r4 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are inserted into the mounting boss protrusions 1501an1, 1501an2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. .. As a result, the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 are arranged to correspond to the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes formed in the peripheral data ROM board 1520. The holes 1520r2 and 1520r4 are arranged to correspond to the mounting boss holes 1501ah1 and 1501ah2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes 1530r1 and 1530r3 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The arrangement corresponds to the mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2 formed in.

Subsequently, a metal pan screw (not shown) is inserted into the through holes 1520r2 and 1520r4 formed in the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and screwed toward the mounting boss holes 1501ah1 and 1501ah2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and a metal pan screw (not shown) is inserted into the through holes 1530r1 and 1530r3 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 to form the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by screwing into the mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2.

Subsequently, the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 are arranged so as to match the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 are made of a metal (not shown). The peripheral control board 1510 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by inserting a pan head screw made of metal and screwing it toward the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4. In this way, of the peripheral data ROM board 1520, the liquid crystal output board 1530, and the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral control board 1510 is finally fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a.

The peripheral data ROM board 1520 is inserted into the mounting boss protrusions 1501ai1 and 1501ai2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a to restrain the movement in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 is the cover flat plate 1501a. The mounting bosses formed on the back surface side are inserted into the protruding portions 1501an1 and 1501an2 to restrain the movement in the vertical and horizontal directions, whereas the peripheral control board 1510 has the mounting bosses for restraining the vertical and horizontal directions. The protruding portion is not formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. By fixing the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the vertical and horizontal directions are constrained, and the dimensional error due to such restraint is suppressed by covering the peripheral control substrate 1510. Dimensions of through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 and mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a when fixed to the back surface side of the 1501a. This is because it can be absorbed with a sufficient margin.

Subsequently, in a state where the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, and the peripheral control substrate 1510 are fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the plate-shaped guide portions 1501ca and 1501cc formed on the cover body 1501 are provided. The guide receiving portions 1502ca and 1502ca formed in the engaging portion 1502ca of the base body 1502 are inserted into the guide receiving portions 1502ca and 1502ca, and the hinge hook portions 1501cc and 1501cd L-shaped hook portions 1501cca and 1501cda formed in the cover body 1501 are inserted into the base body. It is inserted into the U-shaped groove-shaped bag portions 1502cae and 1502caf of the hinge receiving portions 1502ca and 1502cad formed on the engaging portion 1502ca of 1502.

In a state where the base body 1502 wraps around the cover body 1501 so as to cover the opening side of the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 is covered with the cover body 1501 as it is, the cover side sealing portion 1501ea formed on the cover body 1501 is made of metal (not shown). A metal one-way screw into which an anchor rivet is inserted is inserted and screwed toward the base-side sealing portion 1502ea formed on the base body 1502. When the metal one-way screw is screwed in, the tip surface of the metal anchor rivet expands outward at the base side sealing portion 1502ea, so that the cover side sealing portion 1501ea formed on the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 are formed. The base side sealing portion 1502ea and the base side sealing portion 1502ea are sealed.

In such a sealed state, the cover side walls 1501b to 1501e of the cover body 1501 are fitted inside the base side walls 1502b to 1502e of the base body 1502 and are inscribed (surface contact), and the base body 1502 is inscribed. The front surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed in the above is in contact with the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510. As a result, since the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 are made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate as described above, the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 are in a conductive state. In addition, in order to release such a sealed state, the cover side sealing portion 1501ea formed on the cover body 1501 must be broken by a tool. Therefore, by observing the traces of opening and closing, it is possible to detect unauthorized opening and closing of the peripheral control board box 1505 composed of the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502, and a deterrent against fraudulent acts on the peripheral control board box 1505.

The wiring cover body 1503 is fitted into the mounting recess 1501af formed in the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 by inserting and attaching the connector. A metal pan screw (not shown) is inserted into the through holes 1503b1 and 1503b2 formed in the wiring cover body 1503 and screwed into the mounting holes 1501afb1 and 1501afb2 from the front to the rear of the wiring cover body 1503, respectively. The 1503 is fixed to the mounting recess 1501af. As a result, the plurality of wirings are covered by the wiring cover body 1503 and cannot be touched.

When the peripheral control unit 1500 assembled in this way is attached to the game panel 1100 provided on the game board 5, the peripheral control unit 1500 is viewed from the front and is on the left side of the peripheral control unit 1500 (base body 1502 of the peripheral control unit 1500). The engaging portion 1502ca side) formed in the game panel 1100 is inserted into a mounting groove (not shown) provided in the game panel 1100, and a metal pan screw (not shown) is formed in the through holes 1502eb1 and 1502eb2 formed in the base body 1502 of the peripheral control unit 1500.

Further, since the LEDML4 arranged in the vicinity of the special connector SCN2 is maintained in a lit state while the peripheral control IC 1510a is operating, the operation of the peripheral control IC 1510a is originally confirmed (monitored). Although it has a function, it illuminates the inter-board connector brightly by the special connector SCN2 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and the special connector SCN4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1530x of the liquid crystal output board 1530.

In this embodiment, the LEDs ML1 to LEDML4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 are surface mount type, wide with an angle of about 120 degrees, and have weak directivity. Because it is adopted, it is also suitable for use as lighting. When various substrates such as the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are attached and fixed at predetermined positions on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the surfaces (covers) of the various boards are as described above. A space having a predetermined height distance dimension (14.8 mm in this embodiment) is formed between the back surface of the flat plate 1501a and the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a.

Further, in the vicinity of the game board 5, a ball tank 552 and a tank rail 553 are arranged above the game board 5, and a payout unit 560 is arranged on the side of the game board 5. Therefore, a ball path composed of these. In, the game balls rub against each other to be charged and electrostatically discharged, which becomes a noise source. Therefore, in the vicinity of the game board 5 on which the ball path is formed, there is an environment affected by noise due to electrostatic discharge from the game ball. Further, since the pachinko machines 1 are arranged in a row opposite to the island facilities of the game hall, other pachinko machines may become a noise source and be affected by noise. As described above, the surroundings of the game board 5 are in an environment that is extremely susceptible to noise.

[7-5. Partial foil removal of Betta Land]
By the way, the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 has a ground (GND) other than a wiring pattern for transmitting a control signal, a wiring pattern for supplying a power supply, and a region where various land patterns are formed. , So-called beta land (board ground) (also called "solid earth"), and the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 also has a wiring pattern for transmitting control signals and a wiring pattern for supplying power. , The area other than the area where various land patterns are formed is defined as a ground (GND), which is formed as a so-called beta land (board ground) (also referred to as "solid earth"). The beta land (board ground) formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and the beta land (board ground) formed on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 are peripheral control boards. Holes (copper) penetrating a plurality of through holes (both sides (front surface (mounting surface) and back surface (solder surface)) of the peripheral control board 1510) formed on both sides (front surface (mounting surface) and back surface (solder surface)) of the 1510. By being electrically connected by the holes to be plated)), they are the same ground (GND).

Further, as described above, the base flat plate 1502a does not interfere with the connectors CN2 to CN7 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 at predetermined intervals along the lower side when viewed from the front. Positions (that is, each terminal of the connectors CN2 to CN7 provided on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is inserted from the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 to the back surface (solder surface) 1510y, and the peripheral control board is inserted. Since it protrudes from the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the 1510, it is located at a position where it does not interfere with each of the protruding terminals) due to the force when inserting the connector for connecting the wiring to these connectors CN2 to CN7. Vertically elongated wire breakage prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 are formed to prevent the control board 1510 from warping and the electrical wiring pattern formed on the peripheral control board 1510 from being broken.

Further, when the peripheral control unit 1500 is assembled and the cover side sealing portion 1501ea formed on the cover body 1501 and the base side sealing portion 1502ea formed on the base body 1502 are sealed, as described above. The cover side walls 1501b to 1501e of the cover body 1501 are fitted inside the base side walls 1502b to 1502e of the base body 1502 and are inscribed (surface contact), and the disconnection prevention rib portion 1502aa1 formed on the base body 1502. The front surface of ~ 1502aa3 is in contact with the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510.

Further, as described above, the cover body 1501, the base body 1502, and the wiring cover body 1503 are all made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate, and the back surface of the cover body 1501 (cover flat plate 1501a). When various substrates such as the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed to the side by metal pan screws, they are electrically connected to the ground (GND) and are the same. Since it is configured to be a ground (GND), noise invading from the cover body 1501, the base body 1502, and the wiring cover body 1503 is passed to the substrate ground (grounds of various substrates (GND)) to remove the noise. You can do it.

By the way, the front surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed on the base body 1502 is in contact with the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510. Betagland was formed on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 at the abutted portion, and the betagland was covered with a resist. However, in the noise resistance test, the peripheral control at the abutted portion was performed. A betagrand was formed on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the substrate 1510 and covered with a resist, and a peripheral control substrate 1510 at the contacted portion was covered with a resist without forming a betaland on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y. As a result of testing with the above, it was found that the one covered with a resist without forming a beta land on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 at the contacted portion had higher noise resistance. ..

When electromagnetic wave noise invades through the base body 1502, a high voltage is applied to the portion where the front surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed on the base body 1502 abuts on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510. As a result, electromagnetic noise passes through the resist and invades the solid brand. When electromagnetic wave noise invades through such an unexpected route, an electronic component susceptible to electromagnetic noise and a wiring pattern electrically connected to the electronic component are formed on the base body 1502 to prevent disconnection. If the front surface of the portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is adjacent to the portion in contact with the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510, a malfunction or damage may occur.

Further, electromagnetic noise passes through the resist on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 that comes into contact with which of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed on the base body 1502. Since it is unpredictable whether or not it will invade, it is difficult to dispose an electronic component susceptible to electromagnetic noise and a wiring pattern electrically connected to the electronic component away from a specific disconnection prevention rib portion.

It should be noted that the electromagnetic wave noise passes through the resist and is solid because a high voltage is applied to the portion where the front surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed on the base body 1502 is in contact with the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510. In order to invade the brand, when the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 and the beta clant are in contact with each other via a resist, a high voltage due to electromagnetic wave noise invading the base body 1502 is applied to the contacting portion. Therefore, it is considered that an unnecessary loop wiring in which electromagnetic wave noise invades from the disconnection prevention rib portion to the betaglan is formed.

Here, the solid surface of the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 at the portion where the front surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed on the base body 1502 abuts on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510. The shape of the gland will be described with reference to FIG. 209. FIG. 209 is a diagram showing the shape of the beta land at the portion where the front surface of the disconnection prevention rib portion formed on the base body is in contact with the back surface (solder surface) of the peripheral control board, and is the back surface (solder surface) of the peripheral control board. It is a schematic view (a) of the copper foil surface, and is a schematic view (b) of the back surface (solder surface) of the peripheral control board.

As described above, the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed on the base body 1502 have an elongated shape in the vertical direction, and the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 on the back surface (solder surface) of the peripheral control substrate.

It is formed at 1510 yp respectively. That is, on the lower side of the back surface (solder surface) of the peripheral control board, a region in which a part of the betagran is removed (removed) is formed.

In these foil removal regions 1510ya, the distance dimension dg0 between the left side thereof and the left side surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is longer than the distance dimension (width dimension) drw in the left-right direction of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3. Each is formed. The distance between the left side of the foil removal region 1510ya and the left side surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is set to the length of deg0, and the distance dimension (width dimension) drw of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 in the left-right direction is 1.0. The length is about twice to 3.0 times, and in the present embodiment, the distance dimension gg0 between the left side of these foil removal regions 1510ya and the left side surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3. The length is 1.5 times as long as the distance dimension (width dimension) drw in the left-right direction.

Further, in these foil removal regions 1510ya, the distance dimension dg1 between the right side thereof and the right side surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is longer than the distance dimension (width dimension) drw in the left-right direction of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3. Each is formed. The distance dimension (dg1) between the right side of the foil removing region 1510ya and the right side surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is 1.0 of the lateral distance dimension (width dimension) drw of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3. The length is about twice to 3.0 times, and in the present embodiment, the distance dimension DG1 between the right side of these foil removal regions 1510ya and the right side surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3. The length is 1.5 times the distance dimension (width dimension) drw in the left-right direction.

Further, in these foil removal regions 1510ya, the distance dimension dg2 between the upper side thereof and the upper side surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is longer than the distance dimension (width dimension) drw in the left-right direction of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3. Each is formed. The distance dimension (dg2) between the upper side of the foil removal region 1510ya and the upper side surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is 1.0 of the distance dimension (width dimension) drw of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 in the left-right direction. The length is about twice to 3.0 times, and in the present embodiment, the distance dimension pg2 between the upper side of these foil removal regions 1510ya and the upper side surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 is the disconnection prevention rib portion 1502aa1 to 1502aa3. The distance dimension (width dimension) in the left-right direction is 1.5 times as long as drw.

That is, since the foil removal region 1510ya is formed on the copper foil surface 1510yp on which the betagland is formed on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board, the foil removal region 1510ya is not electrically connected to the betaland. It is an insulated area.

When the resist solution is applied to the copper foil surface 1510 yp of the back surface (solder surface) 1510 yp of the peripheral control substrate, the resist solution is also applied to the foil removal region 1510 ya as shown in FIG. 209 (b), and the resist layer 1510 yr Is formed. The disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed on the base body 1502 come into contact with the resist layer 1510yr on the foil removal region 1510ya on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control substrate. Betagland is formed on the copper foil surface on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board corresponding to the foil removal region 1510ya on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board. No foil removal region of the same shape is formed.

As described above, the cover body 1501, the base body 1502, and the wiring cover body 1503 are all made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate, and on the back surface side of the cover body 1501 (cover flat plate 1501a). When various substrates such as the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed by metal pan screws, they are electrically connected to these grounds (GND) and become the same ground (GND). It is configured to be GND). Therefore, in the present embodiment, noise that has entered the cover body 1501, the base body 1502, and the wiring cover body 1503 is peripherally controlled from the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed in the base body 1502 via the foil removing region 1510ya. A "route that does not allow noise to escape" is formed on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the substrate, and the noise that has entered the cover body 1501, the base body 1502, and the wiring cover body 1503 is described above. Noise can be removed by forming a "route through which noise escapes" that flows to the substrate ground (grounds (GND) of various substrates) via a metal pan screw.

[7-6. Reuse of peripheral control board]
As described above, the peripheral control board 1510 is a board that does not depend on the game specifications of the game board and is a board that does not depend on the method of the video signal input to the effect display device 1600, and is a common board. Because it is, it can be reused (reused).

As described above, the periphery of the four through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 is a copper foil for soldering having a circular shape on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 (so-called "". Lands ”) 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 and soldering copper foils (so-called“ lands ”) 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 having a circular shape on the back surface (soldering surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 are formed, respectively. When the peripheral control board 1510 is attached to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, as described above, the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1501 is directed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a and is formed on the peripheral control board 1510. The through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 are arranged so as to match the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and a metal pan screw (not shown) is inserted into the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 to insert the mounting boss holes. The peripheral control board 1510 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by screwing toward 1501ag1 to 1501ag4. Therefore, the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 are in contact with the seat surface (seat surface of the head) of the pan of the metal pan head screw.

In this way, the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 are in contact with the seat surface (seat surface of the head) of the pan of the metal pan screw. By reusing the peripheral control board 1510, lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 are formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by repeated screwing and removal with metal pan screws. Mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 are rubbed against the mounting surface (boss surface) and peeled off from the base material of the peripheral control board 1510, or the land 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 is a metal pan. It rubs against the seating surface (seat surface of the head) of the screw pan and peels off from the base material of the peripheral control board 1510, or the land 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 and the peripheral control board 1510 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510. If the copper foil of the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4y on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side is exposed, the peripheral control board 1510 can be reused because it oxidizes and electrically deteriorates the connectivity. There is a problem that it becomes difficult.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 are the surfaces thereof. Each copper foil is soldered so that it is not exposed. This solder electrically connects the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a and the land 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510. While covering it so that it can be connected, the land 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the seat surface (seat surface of the head) of the pan of the metal pan screw are electrically connected. Covered so that it can be connected. This prevents the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 from rubbing against the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. It is possible to prevent the peripheral control board 1510 from peeling off from the base material, and the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 are the seating surfaces (heads) of the pans of the metal pan screws. It is possible to prevent the peripheral control board 1510 from rubbing against the base material of the peripheral control board 1510, and the land 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510. The copper foil portions of the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 are not exposed and oxidation can be prevented, and the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 can be prevented from being oxidized. It is possible to improve the electrical connectivity in a state where the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 and the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a are in contact with each other, and solder. Electrical connection between the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the seat surface (seat surface of the head) of the pan of the metal pan screw in contact with each other. The sex can be made good.

As a result, even if the peripheral control board 1510 is reused, the noise that has penetrated into the cover body 1501, the base body 1502, and the wiring cover body 1503 is passed through the metal pan screw to the board ground (grounds of various boards (GND)). By surely forming the above-mentioned "route through which noise escapes" flowing to), the noise countermeasure effect of the peripheral control board box 1505 made of conductive resin can be stably maintained.

Further, in the present embodiment, the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 are as described above. , The copper foil on the surface is soldered so as not to be exposed. As described above, the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 are soldered to the copper foil which is the surface of the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 because the bearing surfaces of the metal pan screws come into contact with each other. If the thickness is not uniform (that is, there is a raised part of the solder), the land 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the bearing surface of the metal pan screw There is a problem that the contact area is reduced and the electrical connectivity is deteriorated. Further, as described above, the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 are the mounting surfaces (boss surfaces) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. If the thickness to be soldered to the copper foil, which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4, must be uniform (that is, if there is a raised portion of the solder), the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 (mounting surface) 1510x It is said that the area where the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the side and the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a are in contact with each other is reduced and the electrical connectivity is deteriorated. There's a problem. If the thickness to be soldered to the copper foil on the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 is not uniform (that is, if there is a raised portion of the solder), the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510. When fixing the peripheral control board 1510 to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by inserting a metal pan screw into the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. Distortion of the control board 1510 will occur, which may cause disconnection of various wiring patterns.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the peripheral control board 1510 is used for the copper foil which is the front surface of the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 to which the bearing surface of the metal pan screw comes into contact. A metal mask is placed on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the metal mask, and the solder paste is spread on the metal mask using a squeegee (like a spatula) to apply it from the holes formed in the metal mask. By putting the back surface (solder surface) 1510y in a reflow furnace and drying the solder paste with heat, the thickness to be soldered to the copper foil on the surface of the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 is made uniform as the plate thickness of the metal mask. Can be done. Further, copper which is the surface of the land 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the 1510x side of the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 that comes into contact with the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The foil is formed into a metal mask by placing a metal mask on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and spreading the solder paste on the metal mask using a squeegee (like a spatula). By applying from the holes, putting the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 into a reflow furnace and drying the solder paste with heat, the thickness to be soldered to the copper foil which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 is increased. The plate thickness of the metal mask can be made uniform.

[7-7. Modification example]
In the above-described embodiment, the surfaces of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 are the surfaces. The copper foil was soldered so that it would not be exposed, but the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 that comes into contact with the seat surface (seat surface of the head) of the pan of the metal pan screw. The surface of the peripheral control board 1510 which is soldered to the copper foil which is the surface of the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the side and comes into contact with the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. (Mounting surface) The copper foil on the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the 1510x side may be coated with a resist solution to cover the land. The copper foil, which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510, is also applied when the entire surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is applied with the resist solution. To. Even with this configuration, the metal pan head screws are inserted into the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 toward the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. By fixing the peripheral control board 1510 to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by screwing, the gland (GND) of the peripheral control board 1510 and the cover body 1501 were electrically connected via a metal pan head screw. Can be in a state. Further, copper which is the surface of the land 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the 1510x side of the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 that comes into contact with the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. By applying the foil with a resist solution and covering it, the thickness of the resist layer applied to the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 can be made uniform. As a result, the thickness of the resist layer corresponding to the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 becomes the same thickness, so that the through hole 1510r1 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 is formed. When fixing the peripheral control board 1510 to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by inserting a metal pan screw into ~ 1510r4 and screwing it toward the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. , Distortion of the peripheral control board 1510 can be prevented.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the land 1510rf1 on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 that comes into contact with the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. For the copper foil that is the surface of 1510rf4, a metal mask is placed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, and the solder paste is spread on the metal mask using a squeegee (like a spatula). It was applied from the holes formed in the metal mask, and the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 was put into a reflow furnace to dry the solder paste with heat, but the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 was dried. ) May be poured into a soldering tank and soldered. In this case, the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a come into contact with each other. In order to prevent the area from being reduced and the electrical connectivity from being deteriorated, the copper foil, which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510, should not be partially soldered. It needs to be uniform. FIG. 210 is a diagram showing the shape of the resist with respect to the land when the peripheral control board is passed through the solder bath.

For example, a resist layer 1510xr is formed on the copper foil, which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510, by partially coating the copper foil with a resist solution to form a predetermined shape. The surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 is soldered to a region having a predetermined shape of the copper foil which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4. Specifically, as a "predetermined shape", as shown in FIG. 210 (a), a resist is predetermined for the copper foil which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control substrate 1510. A shape in which a plurality of circles having a width are formed concentrically (a shape in which a single circle having a predetermined width is formed concentrically), as shown in FIG. 210 (b), the resist has a predetermined width. And a shape in which a plurality of rectangular shapes having a predetermined length are arranged in a ring shape as the center of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4, as shown in FIG. 210 (c), a vertical line in which the resist has a predetermined width. A shape formed in a grid pattern composed of lines in the horizontal direction (a shape in which a plurality of lines are formed separated by a predetermined distance dimension only in the vertical direction in which the resist has a predetermined width may be formed, or the resist has a predetermined width. A plurality of lines having only the lateral direction separated by a predetermined distance dimension may be formed.) As shown in FIG. 210 (d), the lines having a predetermined width of the resist are separated by a predetermined distance and rise to the right. A shape in which a plurality of diagonal lines are formed (a shape in which a plurality of lines having a predetermined width of the resist are separated by a predetermined distance and a plurality of downward-sloping lines are formed in a diagonal line), a small circular shape (not shown) The assembled shape and the like can be mentioned.

As described above, a part of the copper foil which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control substrate 1510 is coated with the resist liquid to form the resist layer 1510xr which is formed into a predetermined shape. Since the surface (mounting surface) of the control board 1510 is soldered to a region having a predetermined shape of the copper foil, which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4, the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 The amount of solder soldered to the copper foil on the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 can be suppressed (in other words, the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control substrate 1510 is applied with a resist solution and has a predetermined shape. The effect of being able to suppress the amount of solder soldered to the copper foil on the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 is sufficient). As a result, when the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 is poured into a solder tank and soldered, the copper foil which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 is soldered. It can be made uniform so that the solder does not rise in part. The solder soldered in this way has the mounting surface (boss surface) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a and the land 1510rf1 on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510. It covers 1510rf4 so that it can be electrically connected.

It should be noted that the land on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 that abuts a predetermined figure formed by such a resist with the seat surface (seat surface) of the pan portion of the metal pan head screw. It may also be applied to the copper foil which is the surface of 1510rb1 to 1510rb4. The solder soldered in this way electrically connects the lands 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the seat surface (seat surface of the head) of the pan of the metal pan head screw. It is covered so that it can be connected to. Further, when the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 is poured into a solder tank and soldered, the copper foil which is the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 on the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510 is applied with a resist solution. The thickness of the resist layer applied to the surface of the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 may be made uniform by covering with the solder.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the peripheral control board 1510 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, a metal pan head screw is used, but the metal pan head screw has a flat washer, a spring washer, and a tooth. The peripheral control board 1510 may be fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a through a metal washer such as a washer (also referred to as “Kiku washer”).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the peripheral control board 1510 is fixed to the cover 1501 made of a conductive resin, the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4 formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x side of the peripheral control board 1510 and the cover flat plate 1501a The mounting surfaces (boss surfaces) of the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the peripheral control board 1510 are in contact with each other, and the land 1510rb1 formed on the back surface (solder surface) 1510y side of the peripheral control board 1510. When ~ 1510rb4 and the bearing surface of the metal pan screw are in contact with each other, the cover body 1501 (cover flat plate 1501a) is formed on the peripheral control board 1510 via the metal pan screw. Lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4, 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 were electrically connected, and the cover body 1501 and the ground (GND) of the peripheral control board 1510 were electrically connected, but they were conductive. A metal cover 1501'may be used instead of the resin cover 1501. In this case, the base body 1502 that closes the opening of the cover body 1501 may be made of a conductive resin, or may be made of a metal instead of the conductive resin, or the cover body 1501. The wiring cover body 1503 that closes the wiring outlet opening 1501ae may be made of a conductive resin or a metal.

An amplifier board having a circuit for amplifying various sounds consumes a large amount of power and generates heat. Therefore, the amplifier board is housed in a metal board box composed of a metal cover body and a metal base body, or is attached to a metal partial case. When the amplifier board is housed in a metal board box, the air heated by the heat generated by the amplifier board and the heat of the amplifier board itself are efficiently dissipated to the outside air by the metal board box. Further, when the amplifier board is attached to the metal partial case, the heat of the amplifier board itself can be efficiently dissipated to the outside air in the metal partial case.

Since the amplifier board is housed in a metal board box composed of a metal cover body and a metal base body, or is attached to a metal partial case, it is made of a metal board box or a metal. Noise may enter the partial case of. Therefore, like the peripheral control board 1510 described above (that is, the cover body 1501 and the ground (GND) of the peripheral control board 1510 are electrically connected), a plurality of pieces formed on the amplifier board. The land and the metal cover of the metal substrate box or the mounting surfaces (boss surfaces) of the plurality of mounting boss holes formed on the back side of the metal partial case are in contact with each other. , A plurality of lands formed on the back surface (solder surface) side of the amplifier board and the bearing surface of the metal pan screw are in contact with each other, so that the metal is passed through the metal pan screw. The metal cover or metal partial case of the metal board box is electrically connected to the multiple lands formed on the amplifier board, and the metal cover or metal of the metal board box is made of metal. The partial case and the ground (GND) of the amplifier board can be electrically connected. In addition, the heat of the amplifier board itself is transferred from the ground (GND) of the amplifier board to the metal cover body of the metal board box or the metal partial case via the metal pan head screw to efficiently dissipate heat to the outside air. You can also do it.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the cover body 1501 (cover flat plate 1501a) is electrically connected to the lands 1510rf1 to 1510rf4, 1510rb1 to 1510rb4 formed on the peripheral control board 1510 via a metal pan head screw. Therefore, the cover body 1501 and the ground (GND) of the peripheral control board 1510 were electrically connected, but it can also be used for a two-story board (so-called "Kamenoko board"). it can. For example, multiple lands on the parent board are electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the parent board, multiple lands on the child board are electrically connected to the ground (GND) on the child board, and multiple lands on the parent board are electrically connected. By screwing the land and the multiple lands of the child board at both ends of the metal support (spacer), electricity is supplied through the multiple lands of the parent board, the multiple lands of the child board, and the metal support (spacer). It can be in a connected state. As a result, the ground (GND) of the parent substrate and the ground (GND) of the child substrate can be made the same ground (GND) via the metal support column (spacer).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the peripheral control board 1510 is housed in the peripheral control board box 1505 made of conductive resin, but the main control board box 1320 and the payout control board 633 that house the main control board 1310 are housed. When the payout control board box 632 is configured to be made of conductive resin, the main control board box 1320 and the payout control board box 632 must be transparent according to the rules, and those made of conductive resin are used. Although it is not possible, the board box for accommodating the power supply board and the various relay board boxes for accommodating various relay boards are configured to be made of conductive resin, and the peripheral control board 1510 is fixed to the peripheral control board box. It may be fixed by the same method. By doing so, it is possible to exert the same effect as the noise countermeasure effect of the peripheral control board box 1505 made of the conductive resin described above on the board box accommodating the power supply board and various relay board boxes accommodating various relay boards. it can.

When the peripheral control unit 1500 is attached to the rear side of the game panel 1100 of 5 (the rear side of the effect display device 1600 attached to the rear surface of the back box 3010 of the back unit 3000), the peripheral control board 1510 is provided. A ball tank includes a board-to-board connector with a special connector SCN1 and a special connector SCN3 provided on a peripheral data ROM board 1520, and a board-to-board connector with a special connector SCN2 provided on a peripheral control board 1510 and a special connector SCN4 provided on a liquid crystal output board 1530. By arranging it closer to the center of 552, it can be arranged away from the tank rail 553. As described above, the tank rail 553 is provided with the metal powder of the game ball B to the outside via a plurality of notches 553aa formed on the lower side thereof (the lower side of the rear surface of the tank rail 553 when the pachinko machine 1 is viewed from the front). By arranging the above-mentioned inter-board connector away from the tank rail 553, it is possible to cause electrical troubles due to the metal powder of the game ball B in the above-mentioned inter-board connector.

It is also electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the diode PD0 of the control board 633. That is, the + 5V created by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa of the power supply creation circuit 630f on the power supply board 630 causes a current to flow toward the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU633aa, and the power supply of the discharge control built-in RAM which is forward by the diode PD0. A current flows toward the terminal and the positive terminal of the capacitor BC1. In this way, the capacitor BC1 is electrically such that + 5V created by the + 5V power supply making circuit 630fa of the power supply making circuit 630f in the power supply board 630 returns to the payout control board 633 and again from the payout control board 633 to the power supply board 630. With various connection methods, + 5V can be supplied and charged. As a result, when the + 5V created by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa of the power supply creation circuit 630f is no longer supplied to the payout control board 633, the electric charge charged in the capacitor BC1 is supplied to the payout control board 633 as the payout VBB. Therefore, although the current is blocked by the diode PD0 and does not flow to the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU633aa and the payout control MPU633aa does not operate, the payout VBB is supplied to the power supply terminal of the payout control built-in RAM. The stored contents of the RAM with built-in payout control are retained.

The negative terminal of the capacitor BC0 of the power supply board 630 is grounded to the ground (GND), while the positive terminal of the capacitor BC0 is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633.

As described above, the capacitor BC0 is an electrical connection method in which + 5V (main control board side creation + 5V) created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g is supplied from the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 to the power supply board 630. As a result, + 5V created on the main control board side is supplied and can be charged. As a result, + 12V created by the + 12V power supply creation circuit 630fb of the power supply creation circuit 630f on the power supply board 630 is not supplied to the + 5V creation circuit 1310g of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633, and the + 5V creation circuit 1310g is + 5V. When it becomes impossible to create (main control board side creation + 5V), the charge charged in the capacitor BC0 is supplied to the main control board 1310 as the main VBB via the payout control board 633. Therefore, the current is blocked by the diode MD0 and does not flow to the power supply terminal of the main control MPU1310a, and the main control MPU1310a does not operate. However, the main control is supplied by supplying the main VBB to the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM. The stored contents of the built-in RAM are retained.

[9-3. Power supply to each control board, etc.]
Next, the outline of the power supply supplied to each control board and the like will be described, and then the power supply mainly supplied to the payout control board and the power supply supplied to the main control board will be described.

The three types of power supplies, + 5V, + 12V, and + 24V, respectively, created by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa, the + 12V power supply creation circuit 630fb, and the + 24V power supply creation circuit 630fc of the power supply creation circuit 630f on the power supply board 630 are shown in FIG. 212. Of these three types of power supplies, two types of power supplies, + 12V and + 24V, are supplied to the payout control board 633, and are supplied to the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633. The three types of power supplies created by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa, the + 12V power supply creation circuit 630fb, and the + 24V power supply creation circuit 630fc of the power supply creation circuit 630f on the power supply board 630 are transferred to the interface board 635. In addition to being supplied, the peripheral control board 1510, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, and the like are supplied via the interface board 635, respectively.

The three types of power supplies, + 5V, + 12V, and + 24V, which are supplied to the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, etc., are blown due to an overcurrent flowing through each of these power supply lines.

In particular, the + 12V power supply line and the + 24V power supply line are monitored for a decrease in potential by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310, and the potential of the + 12V power supply line and the potential of the + 12V power supply line decrease. When the power failure warning signal is output to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 and the payout control MPU 63aa of the payout control board 633, the main control MPU 1310a performs the main control side power off processing in the main control side power on time processing described later. To stop the progress of the game, the payout control MPU633aa stops the progress of the payout (the operation of paying out the game ball as a prize ball) by performing the payout control unit power cutoff process in the payout control unit power on-time process described later.

As a result, the decrease in the potential of the + 12V power supply line and the potential of the + 24V power supply line supplied to the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 is suppressed, and the power failure warning signal is mainly controlled by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310. It is not necessary to output to the MPU1310a or the payout control MPU63aa, and the main control MPU1310a can continue the progress of the game without performing the main control side power off processing in the main control side power on time processing described later, and the payout can be continued. The control MPU633aa can continue the progress of payout (the operation of paying out the game ball as a prize ball) without performing the payout control unit power off time process in the payout control unit power on-time process described later.

Has been done. That is, the liquid crystal output board 1530 relays + 12V supplied through the + 12V fuse SF12 of the peripheral control board 1510 to the effect display device.

The + 5V fuse SF5 takes into account the current used by the peripheral control board 1510 itself in the + 5V power supply line of the peripheral control board 1510 and the current used by the subsequent board such as the effect drive board 1720 via the peripheral control board 1510. The capacity is set in advance, and the current can flow up to the upper limit of the allowable current (disconnection current) of the control board around the + 5V power supply line. When an overcurrent (abnormal current) exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the control board around the + 5V power supply line flows in the + 5V fuse SF5, the element portion of the + 5V fuse SF5 is blown and supplied via the + 5V fuse SF5.

The current used in the peripheral control board 1510 and the current used in the succeeding device such as the effect display device 1600 via the peripheral control board 1510 are taken into consideration to set the capacity in advance, and the allowable current of the peripheral control board of the + 12V power supply line is set. Current can flow up to the upper limit (cutoff current). When an overcurrent (abnormal current) exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the control board around the + 12V power supply line flows in the + 12V fuse SF12, the element portion of the + 12V fuse SF12 is blown and supplied via the + 12V fuse SF12. Cut off the + 12V power supply line.

The capacity of the + 24V fuse SF24 is preset by taking into account the current used in the subsequent board such as the production drive board 1720 via the peripheral control board 1510 in the + 24V power supply line of the peripheral control board 1510. A current can flow up to the upper limit of the allowable current (disconnection current) of the control board around the power supply line. When the peripheral control board 1510 uses + 24V to provide an electric drive source (for example, a drive solenoid) with a + 24V system driver circuit, the peripheral control board 1510 in the + 24V power supply line is used as the capacity of the + 24V fuse SF24. The current used by itself and the current used in a subsequent board such as the effect drive board 1720 via the peripheral control board 1510 are added and set in advance. When an overcurrent (abnormal current) exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the control board around the + 24V power supply line flows in the + 24V fuse SF24, the element portion of the + 24V fuse SF24 is blown and supplied via the + 24V fuse SF24. Cut off the + 24V power supply line.

The + 5V fuse SF5, the + 12V fuse SF12, and the + 24V fuse SF24 are the original components in which the + 5V power supply line, the +12 power supply line, and the + 24V power supply line are supplied from the peripheral control board 1510 to the succeeding board such as the production drive board 1720. Since it is a fuse, the current that flows is large and it may generate heat. Therefore, it is placed away from electronic components such as the peripheral control IC1510a so that it will not be affected by this heat generation and cause a failure due to the thermal shutdown built into the IC. In particular, near the connector to which the + 5V, + 12V, and + 24V supplied from the interface board 635 are supplied (in particular, near the connector of the terminal to which the power supply line to which the + 5V, + 12V, and + 24V supplied from the interface board 635 is connected is connected. ) Is preferably arranged.

The peripheral control board 1510 is a control that creates DC 3.3V (hereinafter, referred to as “+ 3.3V”) as a local power source that serves as a control power source for the peripheral control IC 1510a from + 12V supplied via the + 12V fuse SF12. The power supply making circuit 1510z is provided. The + 3.3V created by the control power supply creation circuit 1510z is CPU, RAM, VDP, sound source, serial ATA integrated on one semiconductor chip as peripheral control IC 1510a (peripheral control IC 1510a) via a control power supply fuse SF3.

The control power supply creation circuit 1510z is supplied via the + 5V power supply line and / or the + 24V fuse SF24 supplied via the + 5V fuse SF5, except for the + 12V power supply line supplied via the + 12V fuse SF12. Even if an abnormal current flows through the + 24V power supply line and the fuse blows, + 3.3V, which is a local power supply that serves as a control power supply for the peripheral control IC 1510a, can be created from + 12V from the + 12V power supply line. The control IC 1510a does not stop and operates continuously, and when the + 24V fuse SF24 is blown, it becomes difficult to drive the + 24V system electric drive source (drive solenoid), but the progress of the production is continued. can do.

In this case, the control power supply fuse SF3 is provided corresponding to each of a plurality of control power supplies (for example, a + 3.3V fuse for + 3.3V and a + 1.5V for + 1.5V). For + 1.25V, a + 1.5V fuse is provided, and a + 3.3V power supply line is provided via a + 3.3V fuse, and a + 1.5V power supply line is provided via a + 1.5V fuse. It becomes a + 1.25V power supply line through a fuse for .25V).

The capacity is set in advance, and the current can flow up to the upper limit of the allowable current (disruption current) of the control board around the +3.3 V power supply line. When an overcurrent (abnormal current) exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the control board around the +3.3 V power supply line flows through the control power supply fuse SF3, the element portion of the control power supply fuse SF3 is blown through the control power supply fuse SF3. The + 3.3V power supply line to the subsequent supply is cut off. When the control power supply fuse SF3 is provided corresponding to a plurality of control power supplies (for example, + 3.3V fuse for + 3.3V, + 1.5V fuse for + 1.5V, +1 When a + 1.25V fuse is provided for .25V), the current used by the peripheral control board 1510 itself and the subsequent board such as the peripheral data ROM board 1520 via the peripheral control board 1510 This current and its capacity are preset in consideration of, and the current can flow up to the upper limit of the allowable current (disconnection current) of the control board around each power supply line of the plurality of control power supplies, and each of the plurality of control power supplies.

The power supply line of the subsequent control power supply supplied via the SF3 is cut off.

The control power supply fuse SF3 is the main fuse of the + 3.3V power supply line that serves as the control power supply for the peripheral control IC1510a, etc., and is affected by this heat generation because the flowing current is large and heat may be generated.

As + 24V, it is supplied from the power supply board 630 to each board inside the pachinko machine 1. The power supply line supplied via the fuse FUSE3 is the + 24V power supply line of each board inside the pachinko machine 1. The fuse FUSE3 is a glass tube fuse for a + 24V power supply line (DC power supply line (DC power supply line)), and when a large current (abnormal current) exceeding the allowable current upper limit (disruption current) flows, the element portion of the fuse FUSE3 is blown. It blows and cuts off the + 24V power supply line to the following through the fuse FUSE3.

[10-1-5. Power supply creation circuit]
When the DC power supply from the smoothing circuit 630e is input to the PFC-OU terminal, the power supply creation circuit 630f creates + 12V and + 5V from the input DC power supply, respectively. The power supply creation circuit 630f outputs the created + 12V from the + 12V terminal and supplies it from the power supply board 630 to each board inside the pachinko machine 1, and outputs the created + 5V from the + 5V terminal to the inside of the pachinko machine 1 from the power supply board 630. Supply to each board of. The power supply line supplied from the + 12V terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f becomes the + 12V power supply line of each board inside the pachinko machine 1, and the power supply line supplied from the + 5V terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f becomes the + 5V of each board inside the pachinko machine 1.

To suppress the generation of harmonics.

In the power supply creation circuit 630f, AC24V1 and AC24V2 in which common mode noise is reduced by the choke coil L1 are input to the AC-DET terminal via diodes D5 and D6. The power supply creation circuit 630f monitors the voltage input to the AC-DET terminal, and determines whether or not to output the power supply destruction circuit gate signal from the FUSE-GATE terminal to the power supply destruction circuit 630g.

A power cord plug (not shown) is not plugged into the AC24V power outlet, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility in the game hall, and is mistakenly plugged into the AC100V power outlet, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than the AC24V power supply voltage for the game machine. When plugged in, a power supply voltage higher than + 24V is input from the smoothing circuit 630e to the PFC-OUT terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f.

In the power supply creation circuit 630f, the magnitude of the power supply voltage is a predetermined value (threshold value: the present embodiment) based on the power supply voltage in which the common mode noise is reduced by the choke coil L1 input to the AC-DET terminal. Then, when it reaches about 50 V), the gate signal for the power supply destruction circuit can be output to the power supply destruction circuit 630 g.

When the power supply creation circuit 630f outputs a gate signal for the power supply destruction circuit to the power supply destruction circuit 630g, the power supply destruction circuit 630g self-destroys to enter the short mode. When the power supply destruction circuit 630g is in the short mode, when the power supply switch 630a is in the ON operation state, the current passing through the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 passes through the noise suppression circuit 630b, the rectifier circuit 630c, and the power supply destruction circuit 630g to supply power. When the current flows into the CGND terminal of the created circuit 630f at once, a large current flows through the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, and one or both of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 are blown.

The GND terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f is electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the power supply board 630. The ground (GND) of the power supply board 630 to which the GND terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f is electrically connected becomes the ground (GND) line of each board inside the pachinko machine 1.

[10-1-6. Power supply destruction circuit]
The power supply destruction circuit 630g is composed of an N-channel field effect transistor (hereinafter referred to as “FET”) Q5, resistors R25 and R24, and a capacitor C22. The drain terminal of the FET Q5 is electrically connected to the cathode terminal 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2. The gate terminal of the FET Q5 is electrically connected to one end of the resistor 25, and the other end of the resistor R25 is electrically connected to the FUSE-GATE terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f. The source terminal of the FET Q5 is electrically connected to one end of the resistor R24, electrically connected to one end of the capacitor C22, and electrically connected to the CGND terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f. The other end of the resistor R24 and the other end of the capacitor C22 are electrically connected to the other end on the opposite side of the resistor R25, which is electrically connected to the gate terminal of the FET Q5, so that the power supply creation circuit 630f In addition to the other end of the resistor R25, the other end of the resistor R24 and the other end of the capacitor C22 are electrically connected to the FUSE-GATE terminal of the above.

In the power supply destruction circuit 630g, when the gate signal for the power supply destruction circuit is input from the FUSE-GATE terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f to the gate terminal of the FET Q5 via the resistor R25, the FET Q5 operates and the drain terminal of the FET Q5 to the source terminal. A large current flows toward (the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 become overcurrent), and the FET Q5 is destroyed, so that the short mode state in which the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 are conductive is maintained. Will be done. Although the FET Q5 is of the same type as the package of the FET Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, and D10 (TO-220F described above), the FET Q1 , Q2, Q3, Q4, Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10, and heat dissipation fins (specifically, FETQ1, FETQ2, Schottky barrier diode D1, and Schottky barrier diode D2) to which each is fixed. There are heat radiation fins (not shown) to which the FETs are fixed, and heat radiation fins (not shown) to which the FETs Q3 and Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D9 and D10 are fixed respectively. It is placed in a position where it is not. Specifically, the FET Q5 is arranged while each heat radiation fin is arranged, and is not fixed to each heat radiation fin at all. The purpose of this is to absorb and cool the heat through the heat radiation fins so that the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9 and D10 are not destroyed by heat generation. On the other hand, in the FET Q5, when the FET Q5 operates and a large current flows from the drain terminal of the FET Q5 to the source terminal (the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 become overcurrent), heat is generated in a short time. This is to contribute to being destroyed.

That is, the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility of the game hall, and is mistakenly plugged into the power outlet of AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine. When plugged in, the power supply creation circuit 630f is based on a power supply voltage in which common mode noise is reduced by the choke coil L1 input to the AC-DET terminal, and the magnitude of this power supply voltage is a predetermined value (threshold value). : In the present embodiment, it is set to about 50V.) When the power supply destruction circuit gate signal is output to the power supply destruction circuit 630g, the FET Q5 is controlled to self-destruct. As a result, the state of the short mode in which the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 are conductive is maintained, and the source terminal of the FET Q5 is electrically connected to the CGND terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f, so that the power switch 630a is operated. When the fuse is turned on, the current passing through the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 passes through the noise suppression circuit 630b, the rectifier circuit 630c, and the FETQ5 in the power supply destruction circuit 630g in the short mode, so that the power supply creation circuit 630f By flowing into the CGND terminal at once, a large current flows through the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, and one or both of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 are blown, only the power supply board 630 is destroyed, and the plug of the power supply cord is commercialized. Even if it is accidentally plugged into a power outlet of AC100V, which is a power supply voltage, it is possible to reliably prevent each board inside the pachinko machine 1 except for the power supply board 630 from being destroyed.

In addition, the plug of the power cord was not plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility of the game hall, and was mistakenly plugged into the power outlet of AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine. When the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g is broken by being plugged in, replace the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 with unfused ones, and replace the power cord plug with AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility in the game hall. Even if it is plugged into the power outlet, the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g has already been destroyed and the short mode is maintained. Therefore, the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, the power supply switch 630a, the noise suppression circuit 630b, and the rectifier circuit 630c Then, a large current flows toward the CGND terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f via the FET Q5 in the short mode state in the power supply destruction circuit 630g, so that a large current flows through the replaced fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 and the fuse. One or both of FUSE1 and FUSE2 will be blown again. That is, unless the power supply board 630 in which the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630 g is already destroyed is replaced with a normal power supply board 630 in which the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630 g is not destroyed, the plug of the power cord is used in the island facility of the game hall. Even if it is plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine, the game cannot be started.

The fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3 are detachably attached to support metal fittings (also referred to as fuse holders) not shown, which are soldered to the power supply board 630. When the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3 are blown. It can be replaced with a new fuse.

[Comparison between the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment and the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment]
In the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment, the power supply destruction circuit 630g is composed of the FET Q5, the resistors R25, R24, and the capacitor C22 as described above, and the power supply is destroyed from the FUSE-GATE terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f. When the circuit gate signal is input to the gate terminal of the FET Q5 via the resistor R25, the FET Q5 operates and a large current flows from the drain terminal of the FET Q5 to the source terminal (the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 are overcurrent). By destroying the FET Q5 due to the current), the short mode state in which the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 are conductive is maintained.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment, as described above, the noise countermeasure circuit 630b includes a common mode noise countermeasure circuit CMC, which is a circuit for common mode noise countermeasure, and a circuit for normal mode noise countermeasure. It is composed of a normal mode noise countermeasure circuit NMC and a choke coil L1, and the output side terminals 4 and 2 of the power switch 630a are input to the common mode noise countermeasure circuit CMC, the normal mode noise countermeasure circuit NMC, and the choke coil L1. There is.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment, the AC24V1 and AC24V2 in which the common mode noise is reduced by the choke coil L1 are input to the rectifier circuit 630c as described above, and the diodes D5 and D5. It is input to the anode terminal of D6, is output from the cathode terminal of the diodes D5 and D6, and is input to the AC-DET terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f.

On the other hand, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 215, AC24V from the island facility of the game hall is supplied to the power supply line connector DCN1 via a power cord (not shown). Then, the L side (AC24V1) is input to the input side terminal 3 of the power switch 630a via the fuse FUSE1, and the N side (AC24V2) is input to the input side terminal 1 of the power switch 630a as it is. Will be done.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the AC24V from the island facility of the game hall omits the fuse FUSE2 in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment. Briefly explaining this, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment, the AC24V from the island facility of the game hall has the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 on both power cords (L side (AC24V1), N side (L side (AC24V1), N side ( This is because it was input to AC24V2)), but according to the test conducted by the applicant, no problem occurred even if one (N side (AC24V2)) was omitted. As a result, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 215, one of the AC24V (N side (AC24V2)) from the island facility of the game hall is the input side terminal 1 of the power switch 630a. Cost reduction is realized by inputting as it is in.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the same power switch 630a as in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment is adopted. To briefly explain this, it is necessary to reliably disconnect / connect both the L side and the N side of the AC24V from the island facility of the game hall with respect to the power switch 630a. As a result, the power switch 630a in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment has the AC24V from the island facility of the game hall, similarly to the power switch 630a in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment. Both the L side and the N side can be disconnected / contacted at the same time.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 215, the N side (AC24V2) of AC24V from the island facility of the game hall and the input side terminal 1 of the power supply switch 630a. It is electrically connected to one of the microgap type arresters AL1 between them. The other end of this microgap type arrester AL1 is electrically connected to the frame ground FG2 of the ground connection terminal DCN5. The micro-gap type arrester AL1 surges the surge voltage to the frame ground FG2 of the ground connection terminal DCN5 when a high voltage (referred to as "surge voltage") invades AC24V from the island equipment of the game hall due to a lightning strike. The surge voltage is limited by flowing it as a current so that the surge voltage is not applied to the power switch 630a, or the high voltage (surge voltage) temporarily generated by turning the power switch 630a ON / OFF is applied to the ground connection terminal DCN5. The surge voltage is limited by flowing it as a surge current through the frame ground FG2 so that the surge voltage is not applied to the power switch 630a. Further, the microgap type arrester AL1 is a frame grounding board (not shown) arranged in the vicinity of the external terminal board 558 shown in FIG. 86 due to an operator's mistake when installing the pachinko machine 1 in the game hall. If you forget to electrically connect the ground terminal (island equipment ground) and the ground connection terminal in the island equipment of the game hall via the island equipment ground wire, electromagnetic noise will be sent from the island equipment of the game hall as a proof stress. The noise resistance can be improved by guiding the AC24V to the N side (AC24V2) and removing the AC24V.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the common mode noise countermeasure circuit CMC which is a circuit for common mode noise countermeasure, the normal mode noise countermeasure circuit NMC which is a circuit for normal mode noise countermeasure, and a choke coil In addition to L1, it is composed of a surge absorber SA1 that constitutes a power supply destruction circuit 630g', and the output side terminals 4 and 2 of the power supply switch 630a are a common mode noise countermeasure circuit CMC, a normal mode noise countermeasure circuit NMC, and a power supply destruction circuit. It is input to 630 g'and the choke coil L1. The surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630 g'has a faster reaction speed than the varistor ZNR1 and ZNR2 of the common mode noise countermeasure circuit CMC and the varistor ZNR3 of the normal mode noise countermeasure circuit NMC (for example, as the surge absorber SA1). A silicon surge absorber can be mentioned.), One end of which is electrically connected to the L side (AC24V1) of AC24V via a power switch 630a, and the other end is N side of AC24V (AC24V1) via a power switch 630a. It is electrically connected to AC24V2), and when a circuit voltage exceeding the rated voltage (breakdown voltage) is input, a large current flows and is destroyed, causing a short circuit and short mode.

A varistor may be used as the surge absorber SA1, but here, a silicon surge absorber (also referred to as a semiconductor varistor, VRD, etc.) is used. The silicon surge absorber can absorb a surge voltage having a steep rise as compared with a normal varistor, and utilizes the avalanche (electron avalanche) effect of a silicon pn junction. This silicon surge absorber has features that it has a very fast response to a surge, has a very good control voltage characteristic, and has a very small leakage current. Since the surge absorber SA1 is an AC circuit, a bidirectional type may be used, and a rated voltage (breakdown voltage) of 47 V, which is about twice the input voltage, may be selected.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c are electrically connected to the No. 2 (COM) terminal of the relay RL1. , Is electrically connected to one end of the thermista TH1. The other end of the thermistor TH1 is electrically connected to the third (NO) terminal of the relay RL1 and also electrically connected to one end of the choke coil L2. The other end of the choke coil L2 is electrically connected to the power factor improving circuit 630d. The four terminals of the relay RL1 are electrically connected to the ground (GND), and the first terminal of the relay RL1 is electrically connected to the relay drive circuit 630i described later. As a result, both ends of the thermistor TH1 are electrically connected between the terminals of the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 (that is, between the contacts). The thermistor TH1 is a type in which the resistance value decreases as the temperature rises. As its characteristics, if the vertical axis is the allowable capacitor capacity and the horizontal axis is the AC voltage, the AC voltage value increases. Therefore, a capacitor that has a curve that the value of the allowable capacitor capacity becomes smaller and is not destroyed even when AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage, is applied is selected.

The direct current whose power factor has been improved by the power factor improving circuit 630d is input to the smoothing circuit 630e, input to the power supply creating circuit 630f, and input to the relay drive circuit 630i. When the direct current from the smoothing circuit 630e is input, the relay drive circuit 630 creates an operating voltage (+ 24V) capable of operating the coil of the relay RL1 and supplies it to the first terminal of the relay RL1.

The rectified DC power supply output from the cathode terminals 2 of the shotkey barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifying circuit 630c is due to insufficient power from the relay drive circuit 630i when the power switch 630a is turned on (relay drive). Since the coil of the relay RL1 is not operating due to insufficient power supply by + 24V from the circuit 630i, the relay RL1 cannot be turned on (that is, the relay RL1 remains OFF). ), Input to the power factor improvement circuit 630d via the thermistor TH1 and the choke coil L2 without passing through the relay RL1 while the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 are in a non-conducting state. Will be done. As a result, the rectified DC power output output from the cathode terminals 2 of the shotkey barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifying circuit 630c flows only toward the thermistor TH1, and when this DC starts flowing to the thermistor TH1, a resistor Although a high value causes a weak current to flow through the subsequent load of the thermistor TH1, when the temperature of the thermistor TH1 gradually rises due to the current flowing through the thermistor TH1, the resistance value of the thermistor TH1 decreases accordingly, thereby following the thermistor TH1. A strong current is passed through the load.

On the other hand, when the power switch 630a is turned ON and the power from the relay drive circuit 630i (by the power supply by + 24V from the relay drive circuit 630i) switches from the non-operating state to the operating state of the relay RL1 coil, the relay RL1 Is turned on to make the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 conductive, and the rectified DC power supply output from the cathode terminals 2 of the shotkey barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c, respectively. In addition to the thermista TH1, the relay RL1 is diverted between the terminals of the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal (that is, between the contacts), and passes through the relay RL1 via the choke coil L2 to the force factor improvement circuit 630d. Entered. As a result, the rectified DC power supply output from the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c is between the terminals of the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 (that is, the contacts). The current to the thermistor TH1 decreases and the temperature of the thermistor TH1 decreases, and the resistance value of the thermistor TH1 increases accordingly, so that the 2nd (COM) terminal and 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 The current passing between the terminals (that is, between the contacts) will increase.

As described above, the thermistor TH1 is of a type in which the resistance value decreases as the temperature rises, and the rectified DC power supply output from the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c is used. When it flows through the thermistor TH1, the current to the subsequent load of the thermistor TH1 becomes stronger as the temperature of the thermistor TH1 rises and the resistance value decreases. In other words, the current flowing through the choke coil L2 is limited until the temperature of the thermistor TH1 rises. When this function is used, the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility in the game hall, and the power supply of AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine. If it is accidentally plugged into an outlet, the circuit voltage applied to the surge absorber SA1 will greatly exceed the rated voltage (breakdown voltage) by the time the temperature of the thermista TH1 rises, and a large current will flow through the surge absorber SA1 to cause a surge. The absorber SA1 can be destroyed to enter the short mode.

In such a state, when the power switch 630a is turned on, a large current flows through the fuse FUSE1 via the surge absorber SA1 which is in the short mode state in the noise suppression circuit 630b, and the fuse FUSE1 is blown. It will be blown. Further, when the fuse FUSE1 is blown while the surge absorber SA1 is in the short mode, a large current does not continue to flow through the surge absorber SA1, so that the elements of the surge absorber SA1 are scattered and the surge absorber SA1 becomes It can be prevented from being destroyed in the open mode. As a result, only the power supply board 630 is destroyed, and even if the power cord plug is mistakenly inserted into the power outlet of AC100V, which is the commercial power supply voltage, each board inside the pachinko machine 1 except for the power supply board 630 is destroyed. It is possible to surely prevent this.

In the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the AC-DET terminal for monitoring the power supply voltage in which the common mode noise is reduced by the choke coil L1 in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment. Since it is not necessary to provide the FUSE-GATE terminal for outputting the gate signal for the power supply destruction circuit and the CGND terminal for passing a large current to the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, the circuit configuration is not complicated.

In addition, the plug of the power cord was not plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility of the game hall, and was mistakenly plugged into the power outlet of AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than the power supply voltage of AC24V for the game machine. When the surge absorber SA1 that is plugged in and constitutes the power supply destruction circuit 630g'is destroyed, replace the fuse FUSE1 with one that has not been blown, and replace the plug of the power cord with the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility in the game hall. Even if the fuse is plugged into the AC24V power outlet, the surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g'has already been destroyed and the short mode is maintained. Therefore, the fuse replaced via the surge absorber SA1. A large current flows through FUSE1 and the fuse FUSE1 is blown again. That is, unless the power supply board 630 in which the surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g'is already destroyed is replaced with a normal power supply board 630 in which the surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g' is not destroyed. Even if the plug of the power cord is plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility of the game hall, the game cannot be started.

[11-1. Main control board circuit]
Of the power supplies in the circuit of the main control board 1310, the control power supply of the main control MPU 1310a is supplied with + 12V from the + 12V power supply creation circuit 630fb of the power supply creation circuit 630f in the power supply board 630 via the payout control board 633. In the + 12V to + 5V creation circuit 1310g, + 5V is created as a local power source that serves as a control power source for the main control board 1310. This local power supply, + 5V, has the same potential as + 5V created by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa of the power supply creation circuit 630f on the power supply board 630.

It is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the capacitor BC0 of the backup power supply circuit 630h of the power supply board 630 via the above. As a result, the main VBB from the backup power supply circuit 630h of the power supply board 630 is supplied to the VBB terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a, via the resistor MR0, whereas the main control MPU 1310a The diode MD0 prevents the main VBB from the backup power supply circuit 630h of the power supply board 630 from being supplied to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the above, via the resistor MR0.

[11-1-2. Motor drive circuit under the control of the main control board]
Next, the motor drive circuit under the control of the main control board 1310 will be described with reference to FIG. 217. In some cases, the game board is provided with a member that distributes the path to the downstream side of the game ball that has entered the ball entry portion (not shown) provided in the game area 5a of the game board 5 by using a distribution piece that swings like a wiper. .. A stepping motor, which is a drive motor, can be mentioned as an electric drive source for operating such a distribution piece. This drive motor is driven by the motor drive circuit 1310v of the main control board 1310. The rotary motion of the rotary shaft of the drive motor is converted into a wiper-like swing motion by a distribution piece via a gear mechanism (not shown). Here, a first distribution drive that distributes a game ball that has entered a ball entry portion (not shown) provided in the game area 5a of the game board 5 to a path to the downstream side using a first distribution piece that swings like a wiper. The drive circuit of the motor and the drive circuit of the second distribution drive motor that distributes the game ball distributed by the first distribution piece to the path further downstream using the second distribution piece that swings like a wiper will be described. To do.

The motor drive circuit 1310v is composed of a drive circuit 1310va of the first distribution drive motor and a drive circuit 1310vb of the second distribution drive motor. The drive circuit 1310va of the first distribution drive motor switches between the operating voltage and the stopping voltage as excitations to φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 according to the rotational state of the first distribution drive motor. The first distribution drive motor voltage switching circuit 1310m capable of driving the first distribution drive motor and the first distribution drive motor drive IC 1310n capable of driving the first distribution drive motor are provided. The drive circuit 1310vb of the second distribution drive motor switches between the operating voltage and the stopping voltage as excitations to φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 according to the rotational state of the second distribution drive motor. The second distribution drive motor voltage switching circuit 1310p capable of driving the second distribution drive motor and the second distribution drive motor drive IC 1310q capable of driving the second distribution drive motor are provided. Since the drive circuit 1310va of the first distribution drive motor and the drive circuit 1310vb of the second distribution drive motor are the same circuit, here, the drive circuit 1310va of the first distribution drive motor will be described and the second distribution drive will be described. The drive circuit 1310vb of the motor may be represented by parentheses following the reference numerals referred to in the description of the drive circuit 1310va of the first distribution drive motor.

The first distribution drive motor always swings the first distribution piece in a wiper shape, and the second distribution drive motor always swings the second distribution piece in a wiper shape. Therefore, the first and second distribution drive motors Needs to be driven at all times. However, when the first and second distribution drive motors are constantly driven, the first and second distribution drive motors generate excessive heat, thereby driving the first and second distribution drive motors or the first and second distribution drive motors. The first and second distribution drive motor drive ICs may malfunction or malfunction, and the rotational movement of the rotation shaft of the drive motor is a wiper-like swing movement by the distribution piece via a gear mechanism (not shown). If for some reason a malfunction occurs in the gear mechanism and it becomes difficult to rotate, the distribution drive motor that has become difficult to rotate due to a malfunction in the gear mechanism among the first and second distribution drive motors The overload and excessive heat generation may cause a malfunction or failure in the distribution drive motor or the distribution drive motor drive IC that drives the distribution drive motor. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress heat generation even if the first and second distribution drive motors are constantly driven.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first and second distribution drive motors are driven to swing the first and second distribution pieces in a wiper shape, the operating voltage is used, whereas the first , When driving the second distribution drive motor to stop the first and second distribution pieces, the voltage switching circuit that uses the stop voltage is controlled, and the current flowing to the first and second distribution drive motors. Is used as a resettable fuse by using a poly switch to protect the first and second distribution drive motors and the first and second distribution drive motor drive ICs that drive the first and second distribution drive motors. The heat generated by the constant drive of the first and second distribution drive motors is suppressed.

When the swing drive data MPD0 to MPD7, which is 8-bit information including MPD4 to MPD7 instructing to stop or stop, is output from the main control MPU1310a, the corresponding D-type flip-flop described above and each resistor are used.

When the system of the main control board 1310 is started in the first distribution drive motor drive IC 1310n (1310q), the main control side power-on processing described later is performed and the main control side timer interrupt processing (port output processing) described later is started. Then, according to the swing drive data MPD0 to MPD3 (MPD4 to MPD7) from the main control MPU1310a in the port output processing, the first distribution drive motor voltage switching circuit 1310m (1310p) operates voltage or stop voltage. A current that excites φ1, / φ1, φ2, and / φ2 of the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) is passed by the voltage switched to.

Here, the operation of the first distribution drive motor voltage switching circuit 1310 m (1310 p) will be briefly described. The first distribution drive motor voltage switching circuit 1310m (1310p) performs the main control side power-on processing described later when the system of the main control board 1310 is started (main control side timer interrupt processing (port output) described later. When the processing) is started), when the signal logic of voltage switching 1 (voltage switching 2) from the main control MPU 1310a in the port output processing is output as the operating voltage logic, the transistor MTR50 (MTR60) is turned off. The voltage of the power supply line + 12V-U (+ 12V-D) that supplies power to the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) is raised to the + 12V side by the field effect transistor MF50 (MF60) to drive the first distribution. + 12V is supplied to the motor (second distribution drive motor) as an operating voltage as a power supply line of + 12V-U (+ 12V-D) via the poly switch MPS50 (MPS60). It should be noted that the power supply line of + 12V-U (+ 12V-D) is not supplied to the +5 power supply line via the diode MD50 (MD60).

On the other hand, when the signal logic of voltage switching 1 (voltage switching 2) from the main control MPU 1310a is output as a stopping voltage logic that is the reverse of the working voltage logic logic, the transistor MTR50 (MTR60) is turned on. Then, the voltage of the power supply line + 12V-U (+ 12V-D) that supplies power to the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) by interrupting + 12V by the field effect transistor MF50 (MF60) is the diode MD50. By being pulled up to the + 5V side via (MD60), + 5V as a stop voltage with respect to the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) is + 12V-U (+ 12V-D) via the poly switch MPS50 (MPS60). ) Is supplied as a power supply line.

Here, the difference in temperature rise due to the power consumption of the operating voltage and the power consumption of the stopping voltage will be briefly described. The power consumption W can be calculated by Ohm's law: voltage V × voltage V ÷ resistance R. The power consumption Wo due to the operating voltage + 12V is 144 / resistance R (voltage V squared / resistance R), and the power consumption Ws due to the stopping voltage + 5V is 25 / resistance R (voltage V squared / resistance R). R). Then, the power consumption Wo due to the operating voltage + 12V is 5 times or more (5.76 = 144/25) as compared with the power consumption Ws due to the stopping voltage + 5V, so that the temperature rise is also about 5 times or more. It becomes. This also applies to the first distribution drive motor drive IC 1310n (1310q).

That is, even if the temperature rise becomes a problem when the single power supply is driven by the operating voltage of + 12V (continuous driving), the temperature rise can be suppressed to about one-fifth or less by driving by the stopping voltage of + 5V. ..

The package of the first distribution drive motor drive IC 1310n (1310q) is based on the first to fourth NPN type Darlington transistors that excite φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 of the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor). It absorbs heat generation and heat generation by the first to fourth diodes that convert the back electromotive force from φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 of the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) into heat. This absorbed heat is released to the outside air (around the first distribution drive motor drive IC 1310n (1310q)). Since the island equipment in the game hall is lined up in a row with other pachinko machines, the temperature inside the island equipment in the game hall is high due to the heat generated from the power supply board and various control boards of the pachinko machine.

Therefore, even if the package of the first distribution drive motor drive IC 1310n (1310q) absorbs the heat generated by the first to fourth NPN type Darlington transistors and the first to fourth diodes, the first distribution drive motor drive is driven. Around the IC1310n (1310q), that is, when the temperature of the outside air is high, the efficiency of releasing the absorbed heat to the outside air decreases, so that heat is stored in the package of the first distribution drive motor drive IC1310n (1310q). It will be. Then, when the temperature of the package of the first distribution drive motor drive IC 1310n (1310q) rises and the junction temperature of the first to fourth NPN type Darlington transistors rises to the junction temperature, the first to fourth NPN type Darlington The transistor may fail.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) is driven to rotate the rotation axis in CW (clockwise) or CCW (counterclockwise), the first distribution is performed. By continuously exciting φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 of the drive motor (second distribution drive motor) as much as possible, the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) φ1, φ2, / φ1 , / The number of times that the excitation to φ2 is stopped is reduced, and the backlash that occurs when the excitation to φ1, φ2, / φ1, / φ2 of the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) is stopped. The number of times the electric power is converted into heat by the first to fourth diodes and removed can be reduced. As a result, the heat generated by the first to fourth diodes can be suppressed to a small value, which can contribute to the reduction of the temperature rise of the package of the first distribution drive motor drive IC 1310n (1310q). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the failure of the first to fourth NPN type Darlington transistors due to heat.

In the present embodiment, the first distribution drive motor voltage switching circuit 1310m (1310p) does not use a relay, but uses a semiconductor field effect transistor (FET) MF50 (MF60). This is because a time lag occurs in the relay and there is a large variation in performance between individuals, so that it is difficult to accurately control the distribution operation.

[11-1-2c. Poly switch]
Here, a polyswitch will be described as a resettable fuse. The operating voltage or the stopping voltage is supplied to the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) as a power supply line of + 12V-U (+ 12V-D) via the poly switch MPS50 (MPS60). In the polyswitch MPS50 (MPS60), in the relationship between the element resistance and the element temperature, the resistance value suddenly increases from a specific temperature and the main body generates heat, and this heat lowers the conductivity and cuts off the current, so that the main body becomes When cooled, the conductivity returns and returns, and by using this, the current that flows to the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor), which is the load, is limited and the first distribution drive motor, which is the load. (Second distribution drive motor) can be protected. A fuse can be mentioned as a device that limits the current to the load. This fuse can cut off the current flowing to the load by fusing when an overcurrent flows, but it is necessary to replace the fuse itself with a new one.

However, it is necessary to prevent a person who obtains an illegal game ball by illegally modifying the important main control board 1310 that controls the progress of the game, such as the pachinko machine 1. Therefore, the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 composed of a transparent cover body and a transparent base body, and the cover body and the base body are, for example, one-way of a caulking portion which is a sealing mechanism. It is crimped with screws. This caulking part is a sealing mechanism and is provided with a plurality of parts. The main control board box 1320 can be closed by caulking the cover body and the base body with a one-way screw or the like in the caulking portion using one sealing mechanism. Next, in order to open the main control board box 1320, The sealing mechanism needs to be destroyed. That is, the cover body cannot be removed from the base body unless the sealing mechanism is destroyed. Then, the fuse must be mounted on the main control board 1310, and if the fuse blows, the crimped portion must be destroyed. However, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the game hall, the crimped portion of the main control board box 1320 provided in the pachinko machine 1 cannot be destroyed, so that the fuse cannot be replaced and the game is performed. Is in a state where it cannot be done.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, a poly switch is adopted as an element for limiting the overcurrent as in the fuse. As a result, when an overcurrent flows through the polyswitch, the current flowing to the load can be limited to protect the load by identifying the polyswitch. In other words, unlike fuses, the polyswitch itself is not destroyed by overcurrent and does not need to be replaced at all, and the load is the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) or the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor). ), The first distribution drive motor drive IC 1310n (1310q) can be protected, and there is no need to destroy the crimped portion.

The polyswitch MPS50 (MPS60) has a rectangular parallelepiped body, and has a lead linear shape in which two leads project downward from the bottom surface. As described above, in the polyswitch MPS50 (MPS60), in the relationship between the element resistance and the element temperature, the resistance value suddenly increases from a specific temperature and the main body generates heat, and this heat lowers the conductivity and causes a current. When the main body is cooled by shutting off, the conductivity returns and returns. Therefore, in order to efficiently cool the heat generated by the polyswitch MPS50 (MPS60), by arranging the two leads of the polyswitch MPS50 (MPS60) in the vertical direction, the thickness of the main body of the polyswitch MPS50 (MPS60) can be increased. The smaller surface can be in the vertical direction, and the heat generated by the main body of the polyswitch MPS50 (MPS60) can be easily convected upward.

Further, since a large current flows through the poly switch MPS50 (MPS60), each phase of the terminal for supplying power to the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) and the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor). It is arranged in the vicinity of a connector having a terminal for exciting (φ1, / φ1, φ2, / φ2). As a result, it is possible to contribute to reducing the influence of noise due to the current on the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor) with respect to other electronic components mounted on the main control board 1310.

Further, since the poly switch MPS50 (MPS60) can limit the current flowing to the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor), it protects the overheating of the first distribution drive motor (second distribution drive motor). be able to.

In the present embodiment, one poly switch MPS50 is provided exclusively for the first distribution drive motor voltage switching circuit 1310m of the main control board 1310, and the poly switch MPS50 is provided for the second distribution drive motor. One switch MPS60 is provided exclusively for the second distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310p of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the collector terminals 2, 4 of the first and second distribution drive motor drive ICs 1310n and 1310q are provided. A poly switch may be provided exclusively between 9 and 11 and the corresponding terminal of the connector of the first and second distribution drive motors.

Further, in the present embodiment, one poly switch MPS50 is provided exclusively for the first distribution drive motor voltage switching circuit 1310m of the main control board 1310 for the first distribution drive motor, and poly for the second distribution drive motor. One switch MPS60 was provided exclusively for the second distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuit 1310p of the main control board 1310, but instead, it is supplied to the first and second distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuits 1310m and 1310p, respectively. A common polyswitch may be provided exclusively for each of the + 12V and + 5V motor power supplies, or + 12V supplied to the first and second distribution stepping motor voltage switching circuits 1310m and 1310p, respectively. One common polyswitch may be provided exclusively for the motor power supply.

Further, for example, when a stepping motor is driven as another drive motor together with the first distribution drive motor (the first distribution drive motor is driven by the first distribution drive motor drive IC1310n, and the other drive motor is another drive motor. (When driven by a drive IC), the motor power supply supplied to the other drive motor together with the first distribution drive motor can be switched by the first distribution drive motor voltage switching circuit 1310 m. In this case, the common polyswitch for the first distribution drive motor and the other drive motor is the polyswitch MPS50, and the motor power supply of + 12V or + 5V is transmitted to the other stepping motor together with the first distribution drive motor via the polyswitch MPS50. Each is supplied.

Further, in the present embodiment, the unipolar type stepping motor is used as the first and second distribution drive motors, but a bipolar type stepping motor may be used instead. In this case, one poly switch is provided exclusively for each terminal to which the motor power of + 12V and + 5V is supplied to the bipolar stepping motor.

Further, in the present embodiment, the polyswitch adopted as the resettable fuse is a PPTC (Polymer Positive Temperature) such as a polymer-based PTC (abbreviation for Positive Temperature Coefficien) thermistor.
Although it is an element (abbreviation of Coefficient), the same effect as the above-mentioned polyswitch can be obtained even if a ceramic PTC (abbreviation of Positive Temperature Coefficien) element or bimetal is used as the resettable fuse.

[11-1--3. Main control solenoid drive circuit]
Next, the main control solenoid drive circuit 1310d will be described with reference to FIG. 218. The main control solenoid drive circuit 1310d has a start port solenoid 2415 which is a drive solenoid as an electric drive for moving (operating) the second start port door 2414 to open and close the second start port 2004, and the first prize-winning port. The first attacker solenoid 2418, which is a drive solenoid for electrically driving the door 2417 to open and close the first prize opening 2005, and the second prize opening door 2611 are moved (operated) to the second. The second attacker solenoid 2612, which is a drive solenoid, is driven as an electric drive for opening and closing the two major winning openings 2006, respectively.

The drive solenoids such as the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612 are the main control solenoid drive circuit 1310d of the main control board 1310 when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on and a predetermined condition is satisfied. It is driven by. The main control solenoid drive circuit 1310d is mainly composed of a drive solenoid drive IC 1310da that drives the drive solenoid.

As described above, the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612 are the main control solenoid drive circuits of the main control board 1310 when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on and a predetermined condition is satisfied. It is driven by 1310d, and like the first and second distribution drive motors described above, the pachinko machine 1 is turned on and the system of the main control board 1310 is started (processing at the time of turning on the main control side power, which will be described later). Is performed and the main control side timer interrupt processing (port output processing) described later is started), and the system is not always driven. However, when driving the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612, the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612 generate excessive heat for some reason. As a result, a malfunction or failure occurs in the drive solenoid drive IC that drives the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, the second attacker solenoid 2612 or the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612. In addition, there is a problem with the mechanism that opens and closes the second starting port 2004, the mechanism that opens and closes the first prize opening 2005, and the mechanism that opens and closes the second prize opening 2006, making it difficult to move (difficult to operate). ), The solenoid that has become difficult to move (difficult to operate) due to a malfunction among the starting port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612 becomes overloaded and generates excessive heat, resulting in a malfunction. There is a risk that a malfunction or failure may occur in the solenoid or the drive solenoid drive IC that drives the solenoid, which has become difficult to move (difficult to operate). Therefore, it is necessary to suppress heat generation even if the starting port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612 are driven.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the current flowing through the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612 is limited by using a poly switch as a resettable fuse, and the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418. , The second attacker solenoid 2612 and the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the drive solenoid drive IC for driving the second attacker solenoid 2612, thereby protecting the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid. The heat generated by driving the attacker solenoid 2612 is suppressed.

[11-1--3b. Poly switch]
Here, a polyswitch will be described as a resettable fuse. The + 24V power supply line (the power supply line created and supplied by the + 24V power supply creation circuit 630fc of the power supply creation circuit 630f (that is, the + 24V power supply line) is for the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612. The polyswitch MPS40 is supplied as a power supply line of SOL + 24V via the polyswitch MPS40. In the relationship between the element resistance and the element temperature, the resistance value suddenly increases from a specific temperature and the main body generates heat, and this heat is generated. When the main body is cooled, the conductivity is reduced and the current is cut off, and when the main body is cooled, the conductivity is restored and restored. By using this, the starting port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second The starting port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, and the second attacker solenoid 2612, which are loads, can be protected by limiting the current flowing to the attacker solenoid 2612. Examples of limiting the current to the load include fuses. This fuse can cut off the current flowing to the load by blowing when an overcurrent flows, but the fuse itself needs to be replaced with a new one.

However, it is necessary to prevent a person who obtains an illegal game ball by illegally modifying the important main control board 1310 that controls the progress of the game, such as the pachinko machine 1. Therefore, as described above, the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 composed of the transparent cover body and the transparent base body, and the cover body and the base body are sealing mechanisms. It is crimped by, for example, a one-way screw of the crimped portion. This caulking part is a sealing mechanism and is provided with a plurality of parts. The main control board box 1320 can be closed by caulking the cover body and the base body with a one-way screw or the like in the caulking portion using one sealing mechanism. Next, in order to open the main control board box 1320, The sealing mechanism needs to be destroyed. That is, the cover body cannot be removed from the base body unless the sealing mechanism is destroyed. Then, the fuse must be mounted on the main control board 1310, and if the fuse blows, the crimped portion must be destroyed. However, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the game hall, the crimped portion of the main control board box 1320 provided in the pachinko machine 1 cannot be destroyed, so that the fuse cannot be replaced and the game is performed. Is in a state where it cannot be done.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, a poly switch is adopted as an element for limiting the overcurrent as in the fuse. As a result, when an overcurrent flows through the polyswitch, the current flowing to the load can be limited to protect the load by identifying the polyswitch. That is, unlike the fuse, the polyswitch itself is not destroyed by overcurrent and does not need to be replaced at all, and the load is the start port solenoid 2415, the first attacker solenoid 2418, the second attacker solenoid 2612 or the start port solenoid 2415, the first. The drive solenoid drive IC1310da that drives the attacker solenoid 2418 and the second attacker solenoid 2612 can be protected, and there is no need to destroy the crimped portion.

The output is output to the payout control MPU 633aa of 633, the peripheral control board 1510, the effect display device 1600, and the like. When the power failure warning signal is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e, for example, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 performs the main control side power off processing in the main control side power on processing, which will be described later, and stops the progress of the game. Then, the payout control MPU633aa of the payout control board 633 performs the payout control unit power cutoff process in the payout control unit power on-time process described later, stops the payout progress (the operation of paying out the game ball as a prize ball), and the periphery. The control board 1510 backs up the effect information, so that the effect display device 1600 can reliably complete the main control side power cutoff process by the main control MPU 1310a and the payout control unit power supply cutoff process by the payout control 633aa. , Create a power supply for the backlight to cut power consumption Turn off the inverter (not shown) and stop the progress of the production.

At the same time, one end is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC24 which is electrically connected to the ground (GND), and is electrically connected to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal of the D type flip flop MIC22. .. The capacitor MC24 plays a role as a low-pass filter.

The signal created on the control board side + 5V side and whose logic is HI is input to the PR terminal which is the preset terminal of the D type flip-flop MIC22.

On the other hand, when the voltage of + 24V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V1pf, the monitoring voltage V1 of + 24V becomes smaller than the reference voltage Vref, and the voltage applied to the first terminal which is the output terminal of the MIC21A of the comparator MIC21 is ground (GND).

[11-1--4c. + 12V power outage or momentary power failure monitoring]
Monitoring of a + 12V power failure or momentary power failure is performed by comparing the monitoring voltage V2 of + 12V with the reference voltage Vref by the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21, as described above. As shown in FIG. 219, the 5th terminal, which is the positive terminal of the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21 to which the monitoring voltage V2 of + 12V is applied, is created at one end by the + 12V power supply line (+ 12V power supply creation circuit 630fb of the power supply creation circuit 630f).

[11-1--4d. Output of power failure warning signal]
The D-type flip-flop MIC22 stores the value (logic) of the signal input to the 1D terminal, which is the D input terminal, due to the change in the edge of the clock signal input to the 1CK terminal, which is the clock input terminal, and this stored value. (Logic) is output from the 1Q terminal which is an output terminal, and the value obtained by inverting the stored value (logic) is output from the negative logic 1Q terminal which is an output terminal. Further, the D type flip-flop MIC22 releases the latch state when a signal whose logic is LOW is input to the CLR terminal which is a clear terminal, and performs the logic of the signal input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal. The inverted signal is output from the 1Q terminal which is the output terminal (at this time, the logic of the signal output from 1Q is inverted, that is, the same as the logic of the signal input to the PR terminal which is the preset terminal. (The logical signal is output from the negative logic 1Q terminal) On the other hand, when the signal whose logic is HI is input to the CLR terminal which is the clear terminal, the latch state is set. Further, in the D type flip-flop MIC22, when a signal whose logic is HI is input to the CLR terminal which is a clear terminal and the latch state is set, the logic is LOW to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal. When the signal becomes, the state of outputting the signal whose logic is HI from the 1Q terminal which is the output terminal is maintained (at this time, the signal which inverts the logic of the signal output from 1Q is negative logic. Maintain the state of output from the 1Q terminal).

In the present embodiment, the D-type flip-flop MIC22 is a clock input terminal because the 1D terminal, which is a D input terminal, and the 1CK terminal, which is a clock input terminal, are electrically connected to the ground (GND), respectively. There is no change in the edge of the clock signal input to the 1CK terminal, so that the value (logic) of the signal input to the 1D terminal, which is the D input terminal, is not stored and output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal. The circuit is configured. As described above, the D-type flip-flop MIC22 has a signal from the output terminal 1 of the MIC21A of the comparator MIC21 that monitors a + 24V power failure or a momentary power failure and a + 12V power failure at the PR terminal which is a preset terminal. Alternatively, a signal from the 7th terminal, which is the output terminal of the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21 that monitors the momentary power failure, is input, and a signal is output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal, based on these signals. The Vcc terminal, which is a power supply terminal, is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC22, one end of which is electrically connected to the ground (GND), and is connected to the Vcc terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22.

The negative logic 1Q terminal that inverts is electrically unconnected to the outside.

In the D-type flip-flop MIC22, in the present embodiment, a power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a is input to the CLR terminal, which is a clear terminal, via the main control output circuit 1310c. This power failure clear signal is output started and stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed in the main control side power-on processing described later performed by the main control MPU 1310a. Since the CLR terminal is a negative logic input, the power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a is input to the CLR terminal with its logic set to LOW via the main control output circuit 1310c. The D-type flip-flop MIC22 is designed to release the latch state when a power failure clear signal is input to the CLR terminal. At this time, the logic input to the PR terminal, which is a preset terminal, is inverted and the output terminal is output. Output from the 1Q terminal.

On the other hand, when the output of the power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a is stopped, the logic becomes HI via the main control output circuit 1310c and is input to the CLR terminal. The D-type flip-flop MIC 22 is designed to set a latch state when a power failure clear signal is not input to the CLR terminal, and latches the state in which the logic is LOW and is input to the PR terminal.

The 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip flop MIC 22, is electrically connected to the input terminal of the input port PB of the main control MPU 1310a via the main control input circuit 1310b, and is the output terminal of the D-type flip flop MIC 22. The signal output from the terminal is input to the input terminal of the input port PB of the main control MPU 1310a as a power failure warning signal. The 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC 22, is electrically connected to the main control output circuit 1310c, and the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC 22, is output from the main control output circuit. The 1310c outputs the payout control board 633 as a payout power failure warning signal, and outputs the peripheral control board 1510 as a peripheral power failure warning signal.

As shown in FIG. 219, the main control input circuit 1310b that electrically connects the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D type flip flop MIC22, and the input terminal of the input port PB of the main control MPU 1310a, is a D type flip flop. The 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the MIC 22, is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR26, one end of which is electrically connected to the main control board side + 5V power supply line, and is the base terminal of the transistor MTR 20 via the resistor MR27. Is electrically connected to. In addition to being electrically connected to the resistor MR27, the base terminal of the transistor MTR20 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR28, one end of which is electrically connected to the ground (GND). The emitter terminal of the transistor MTR20 is electrically connected to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal of the transistor MTR20 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR29 whose one end is electrically connected to the main control board side created + 5V power supply line. Non-inverting buffer ICMIC23 (The non-inverting buffer ICMIC23 is provided with eight non-inverting buffer circuits, and the logic of the signal waveform input to one of them (MIC23A) is shaped and output without inverting. It is electrically connected to the input terminal of the input port PB of the main control MPU 1310a via.

The circuit composed of the resistors MR27, MR28, and the transistor MTR20 is a switch circuit that turns ON / OFF by a signal output from the 1Q terminal which is the output terminal of the D type flip-flop MIC22.

When the logic of the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, is LOW, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR20 is lowered to the ground (GND) side, and the transistor MTR20 is turned off. , The switch circuit will also be turned off. On the other hand, when the logic of the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D type flip-flop MIC22, is HI, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR20 is raised to the main control board side creation + 5V side and the transistor. The MTR 20 is turned on, and the switch circuit is also turned on.

When both the condition that the voltage of + 24V is larger than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of + 12V is larger than the power failure detection voltage V2pf are satisfied, the signal whose logic is HI is the preset of the D type flip-flop MIC22. Since it is input to the PR terminal, which is a terminal, the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, becomes LOW and is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR20, so that the transistor MTR20 Turn off. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR20 is pulled up to the main control board side creation + 5V side by the resistor MR29, and the power failure warning signal whose logic becomes HI via the non-inverting buffer ICMIC23 is input to the main control MPU1310a. It is input to the input terminal of the port PB.

Since it is input to the PR terminal which is the preset terminal of the type flip-flop MIC22, the signal output from the 1Q terminal which is the output terminal of the D type flip-flop MIC22 becomes HI and is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR20. As a result, the transistor MTR20 is turned on.

As a result, the transistor MTR22 in the subsequent stage is turned off, and the switch circuit in the subsequent stage is also turned off.

When both the condition that the voltage of + 24V is larger than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of + 12V is larger than the power failure detection voltage V2pf are satisfied, the signal whose logic is HI is the preset of the D type flip-flop MIC22. Since it is input to the PR terminal, which is a terminal, the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, has its logic set to LOW and is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR21 in the previous stage.

As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR23 is pulled up to the + 12V side by the pull-up resistor in the payout control input circuit of the peripheral control unit 4150 on the peripheral control board 1510 via the wiring (harness), so that the logic is HI. The peripheral power failure warning signal is input to the peripheral control board 1510.

On the other hand, when either of the condition that the voltage of + 24V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of + 12V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V2pf is satisfied, the signal whose logic is LOW is D. Since it is input to the PR terminal which is the preset terminal of the type flip-flop MIC22, the signal output from the 1Q terminal which is the output terminal of the D type flip-flop MIC22 becomes HI and is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR23. As a result, the transistor MTR23 is turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR23 is lowered to the ground (GND) side in the peripheral control board 1510 via the wiring (harness), so that the peripheral power failure warning signal whose logic is LOW is sent to the peripheral control board. It is input to 1510.

While the logic is the same as the peripheral power failure warning signal input to, the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D type flip flop MIC22, is sent to the payout control board 633. The main control output circuit 1310c has two transistors, a front stage and a rear stage, and the logic of the payout power failure warning signal is input to the logic of the power failure warning signal input to the main control MPU 1310a and the peripheral control board 1510. The logic is the reverse of the logic of the peripheral power failure warning signal, which is different from the logic of the power failure warning signal and the logic of the peripheral power failure warning signal.

This is because the transistor MTR20 of the main control input circuit 1310b and the main control MPU 1310a are on the main control board 1310 between the collector terminal of the transistor MTR20 of the main control input circuit 1310b and the input terminal of the input port PB of the main control MPU 1310a. Since it is mounted on the main control board 1310a, the power failure warning is given by the logic (ON / OFF signal) of the power failure warning signal using the main control board side creation + 5V which is the control power supply of the main control MPU 1310a. Between the boards of the payout control board 633 and between the boards of the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510, in order to suppress the influence of noise invading the wiring (harness) that electrically connects the boards, the main The power failure warning is given by the logic (ON / OFF signal) of the power failure warning signal using the control power supply of the control MPU 1310a, the payout control MPU633aa, and the peripheral control IC 1510a, for example, + 12V which is a DC power supply higher than + 5V.

Even if the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 that make up the main board are operating normally, for example, due to an electrical trouble to the control power supply creation circuit 1510z of the peripheral control board 1510, the control power supply creation circuit When an overcurrent flows to 1510z, the potential of the + 12V power supply line drops, or the effect display device 1600's liquid crystal panel power supply creation circuit 1600z, the effect display device 1600's liquid crystal panel, backlight, and drive circuit are electrically connected for some reason. Due to a trouble, an overcurrent flows to any of the liquid crystal panel power supply creation circuit 1600z of the production display device 1600, the liquid crystal panel of the production display device 1600, the backlight, the drive circuit, etc., so that the potential of the + 12V power supply line drops or the production drive When the + 12V system electric drive source (drive motor) of the game board 5 is being driven by the + 12V system driver circuit 1720c2 of the board 1720 (or waiting for the drive of the + 12V system electric drive source (drive motor) of the game board 5).

Even if a leakage current or a short circuit occurs due to some electrical trouble in the formed wiring pattern or the wiring (harness) that electrically connects the boards, etc., the overcurrent causes + 12V. The potential of the power line drops. Then, the power failure warning signal is output to the main control MPU 1310a by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310, so that the main control MPU 1310a performs the main control side power cutoff process in the main control side power on time process described later. The progress of the game will be stopped.

(While waiting for the drive of the electric drive source (drive solenoid)), due to overload or electrical trouble for some reason, the + 24V system electrical drive source (drive solenoid) or + 24V system driver circuit of the game board 5 When an overcurrent flows through 1720c1, the potential of the + 24V power supply line drops. In addition, there is a leak due to some electrical trouble in the wiring pattern formed on the peripheral control board 1510 that supplies the + 24V power supply line, the effect drive board 1720, and the wiring (harness) that electrically connects the boards. Even when a current is generated or a short circuit occurs, the potential of the + 24V power supply line drops.

[11-1-5. Overcurrent protection for + 12V power line and + 24V power line]
[11-1--5a. + 12V power line overcurrent protection]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, as an overcurrent protection to the + 12V power supply line, as shown in FIG. 213, the + 12V power supply line has a + 12V power supply line peripheral control board allowable current upper limit as a countermeasure against overcurrent. A + 12V fuse SF12 is provided to allow current to flow up to, and a + 12V fuse PF12 is provided to the effect display device 1600 as the main fuse of the effect display device 1600 to allow current to flow up to the upper limit of the original allowable current.

A + 12V fuse EF12 capable of passing a current is provided, and a fuse capable of passing a current up to the upper limit of the allowable current of the drive motor on the game board side is provided in the + 12V system driver circuit 1720c2 in the effect drive board 1720, and each decorative board of the game board 5 is provided. Of these, the decorative board on which the LED constant current drive circuit is mounted is provided with a + 12V fuse DF12 that allows current to flow up to the upper limit of the allowable current of the decorative board on the game board side (regardless of the presence or absence of the LED constant current drive circuit). A + 12V fuse DF12 capable of passing a current up to the upper limit of the allowable current of the decorative board on the game board side may be provided to all the decorative boards of the game board 5 to which the + 12V power supply line is supplied). For + 12V supplied via the + 12V fuse PF12a1 as the fuse of the first branch system, a liquid crystal panel power supply is created by the liquid crystal panel power supply creation circuit 1600z, and this liquid crystal panel power supply is used as the liquid crystal panel and back of the effect display device 1600. Since it is supplied to the light and the drive circuit, the liquid crystal panel, the backlight, and the drive circuit of the effect display device 1600 are created from + 12V supplied via the + 12V fuse PF12a1 as the fuse of the first branch system. The panel power supply and + 12V supplied via the + 12V fuse PF12a2 as the fuse of the second branch system are supplied.

In the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 constituting the main board are operating normally, in the + 12V power supply line of the peripheral control board 1510, to the control power supply creation circuit 1510z of the peripheral control board 1510. When an overcurrent exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the + 12V power supply line peripheral control board flows to the control power supply creation circuit 1510z due to an electrical trouble for some reason, the + 12V fuse SF12 of the peripheral control board 1510 is blown. .. In this way, the + 12V fuse SF12 is provided on the peripheral control board 1510 so that the + 12V fuse SF12 is blown by an overcurrent exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the + 12V power supply line peripheral control board. Therefore, the main control board 1310 is paid out. By suppressing the decrease in the potential of the + 12V power supply line supplied to the control board 633, the power failure warning signal does not have to be output to the main control MPU 1310a and the payout control MPU 63aa by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310. Can continue the progress of the game without performing the main control side power off processing in the main control side power on processing described later, and the payout control MPU633aa is a payout in the payout control unit power on power processing described later. It is possible to continue the progress of payout (the operation of paying out the game ball as a prize ball) without performing the control unit power cutoff process.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 constituting the main board are operating normally, the liquid crystal panel power supply of the effect display device 1600 is created in the + 12 V power supply line of the effect display device 1600. When an overcurrent exceeding the allowable current upper limit of the first branch system flows to the liquid crystal panel power supply creation circuit 1600z due to an electrical trouble to the circuit 1600z, the fuse of the first branch system of the effect display device 1600 is + 12V. The fuse PF12a1 is blown. Further, in the present embodiment, due to an electrical trouble to the liquid crystal panel, the backlight, and the drive circuit of the effect display device 1600 for some reason, from + 12V supplied via the + 12V fuse PF12a2 as the fuse of the branch second system. When an overcurrent exceeding the allowable current upper limit of the branch 1st system flows to the liquid crystal panel power supply creation circuit 1600z that creates the liquid crystal panel power supply, the + 12V fuse PF12a1 that is the fuse of the branch 1st system of the effect display device 1600 is blown. Due to an electrical trouble with the liquid crystal panel, backlight, drive circuit, etc. of the effect display device 1600, the fuse is branched to one of the liquid crystal panel, backlight, drive circuit, etc. of the effect display device 1600. When an overcurrent exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the two systems flows, the + 12V fuse PF12a2, which is the fuse of the branch second system of the effect display device 1600, is blown. Further, in the present embodiment, the + 12V fuse PF12, which is the main fuse of the effect display device 1600, has a capacity of + 12V fuse PF12a1 which is a branch first system fuse and + 12V which is a branch second system fuse. Of the fuses PF12a2 for use, those having a capacity larger than the capacity of any of the fuses and smaller than the capacity of the sum of both fuses are selected in advance. Therefore, the + 12V fuse PF12, which is the main fuse, is one of the + 12V fuse PF12a1 which is the first branch fuse and the + 12V fuse PF12a2 which is the second branch fuse in the + 12V power supply line. Even if an overcurrent flows and one of the fuses is blown, if the overcurrent still flows in the blown fuse system and exceeds the upper limit of the original allowable current, the fuse may be blown. The capacity of the + 12V fuse PF12, which is the main fuse of the effect display device 1600, is the capacity of the + 12V fuse PF12a1 which is the first branch fuse and the capacity of the + 12V fuse PF12a2 which is the second branch fuse. In the case of the same as the one in which the above and the above are added, the + 12V fuse PF12, which is the main fuse, has the + 12V fuse PF12a1 which is the first branch fuse and the second branch fuse in the + 12V power supply line. Of the + 12V fuse PF12a2, which is the fuse of the above, when an overcurrent flows and one of the fuses blows, the overcurrent still flows in the blown fuse system and blows when the upper limit of the original allowable current is exceeded. In some cases, when an overcurrent flows through the + 12V fuse PF12a1 which is the first branch system fuse and the + 12V fuse PF12a2 which is the second branch system fuse, and both fuses are blown, the fuse is blown. In this way, the effect display device 1600 is provided with the + 12V fuse PF12 which is the main fuse of the effect display device 1600, the + 12V fuse PF12a1 which is the first branch system fuse, and the + 12V fuse PF12a2 which is the second branch system fuse. Since the + 12V fuse PF12 which is the main fuse, the + 12V fuse PF12a1 which is the branch first system fuse, and the + 12V fuse PF12a2 which is the branch second system fuse are blown by the overcurrent.

When the system of the payout control board 633 is started (when the payout control unit power-on processing is started), the payout motor drive IC 633abb is used when the payout control unit power is turned on based on the control signal from the main control board 1310.

And / A current that excites φ2 is passed.

Here, the operation of the voltage switching circuit 633ada will be briefly described. When the system of the payout control board 633 is started (when the payout control unit power-on processing (port output processing) described later is started), the port output When the logic of the signal of voltage switching from the payout control MPU633aa in the process is output as the working voltage logic, the transistor PTR50 is turned off, and the voltage of the power supply line called MOTH + 12V that supplies power to the payout motor 584 is generated by the field effect transistor PF50. By being pulled up to the + 12V side, + 12V as an operating voltage is supplied to the payout motor 584 as a power supply line called MOTH + 12V via the poly switch PPS50. It is supplied from the power supply line of MOTH + 12V to the +5 power supply line (the power supply line created and supplied by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa of the power supply creation circuit 630f in the power supply board 630 (that is, the + 5V power supply line)) via the diode PD50. Never.

On the other hand, when the signal logic of voltage switching from the payout control MPU633aa is output as a stop voltage logic that is the reverse of the working voltage logic logic, the transistor PTR50 is turned on and + 12V by the field effect transistor PF50 is set. The voltage of the power supply line called MOTH + 12V, which supplies power to the payout motor 584 by being cut off, is raised to the + 5V side via the diode PD50, so that + 5V is applied to the payout motor 584 as a stop voltage via the polyswitch PPS50. It is supplied as a power supply line called MOTH + 12V.

Here, the difference in temperature rise due to the power consumption of the operating voltage and the power consumption of the stopping voltage will be briefly described. The power consumption W can be calculated by Ohm's law: voltage V × voltage V ÷ resistance R. The power consumption Wo due to the operating voltage + 12V is 144 / resistance R (voltage V squared / resistance R), and the power consumption Ws due to the stopping voltage + 5V is 25 / resistance R (voltage V squared / resistance R). R). Then, the power consumption Wo due to the operating voltage + 12V is 5 times or more (5.76 = 144/25) as compared with the power consumption Ws due to the stopping voltage + 5V, so that the temperature rise is also about 5 times or more. It becomes. This also applies to the payout motor 584.

That is, even if the temperature rise becomes a problem when the single power supply is driven by the operating voltage of + 12 V, the temperature rise can be suppressed to about one-fifth or less by the driving by the stopping voltage of + 5 V.

The package of the payout motor drive IC633ab is the heat generated by the first to fourth NPN type Darlington transistors that excite φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 of the payout motor 584, and the φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / of the payout motor 584. It absorbs the heat generated by the first to fourth diodes that convert the counter electromotive force from φ2 into heat, and releases the absorbed heat to the outside air (around the payout motor 584). Since the island equipment in the game hall is lined up in a row with other pachinko machines, the temperature inside the island equipment in the game hall is high due to the heat generated from the power supply board and various control boards of the pachinko machine.

Therefore, even if the package of the payout motor 584 absorbs the heat generated by the first to fourth NPN type Darlington transistors and the first to fourth diodes, the temperature around the payout motor 584, that is, the outside air becomes high. In this state, the efficiency of releasing the absorbed heat to the outside air decreases, so that the heat is stored in the package of the discharge motor 584. Then, if the temperature of the package of the payout motor 584 rises and the junction temperature of the first to fourth NPN type Darlington transistors rises to the junction temperature, the first to fourth NPN type Darlington transistors may fail. ..

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the payout motor 584 is driven to rotate the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584, the payout motor 584 is continuously excited to φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 as much as possible. By doing so, the number of times that the excitation of the payout motor 584 to φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 is stopped is reduced, and when the excitation of the payout motor 584 to φ1, φ2, / φ1 and / φ2 is stopped. It is possible to reduce the number of times that the counter electromotive force generated in the above is converted into heat by the first to fourth diodes and removed. As a result, the heat generated by the first to fourth diodes can be suppressed to a small value, which can contribute to the reduction of the temperature rise of the package of the payout motor 584. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the failure of the first to fourth NPN type Darlington transistors due to heat.

In this embodiment, the voltage switching circuit 633ada does not use a relay, but uses a field effect transistor (FET) PF50 which is a semiconductor. This is because a time lag occurs in the relay and there is a large variation in performance between individuals. By using the field effect transistor (FET) PF50, the payout operation can be accurately controlled.

[11-2-2c. Poly switch]
Here, a polyswitch will be described as a resettable fuse. The operating voltage or the stopping voltage is supplied to the payout motor 584 as a power supply line of MOTH + 12V via the poly switch PPS50. In the polyswitch PPS50, in the relationship between the element resistance and the element temperature, the resistance value suddenly increases from a specific temperature and the main body generates heat, and this heat lowers the conductivity to cut off the current and cool the main body. By using this, the current flowing through the payout motor 584, which is a load, can be limited to protect the payout motor 584, which is a load. A fuse can be mentioned as a device that limits the current to the load. This fuse can cut off the current flowing to the load by fusing when an overcurrent flows, but it is necessary to replace the fuse itself with a new one.

However, it is necessary to prevent a person who acquires an illegal game ball by illegally modifying the important payout control board 633 that controls the payout operation of the game ball to the player, such as the pachinko machine 1. Therefore, the payout control board 633 is housed in the payout control board box 632 composed of the transparent cover body and the transparent base body, and the cover body and the base body are, for example, one-way of a caulking portion which is a sealing mechanism. It is crimped with screws. This caulking part is a sealing mechanism and is provided with a plurality of parts. The payout control board box 632 can be closed by caulking the cover body and the base body with a one-way screw or the like in the caulking portion using one sealing mechanism. Next, in order to open the payout control board box 632, The sealing mechanism needs to be destroyed. That is, the cover body cannot be removed from the base body unless the sealing mechanism is destroyed. Then, the fuse must be mounted on the payout control board 633, and if the fuse blows, the crimped portion must be destroyed. However, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the game hall, the crimped portion of the payout control board box 632 provided in the pachinko machine 1 cannot be destroyed, so that the fuse cannot be replaced and the game is performed. Is in a state where it cannot be done.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, a poly switch is adopted as an element for limiting the overcurrent as in the fuse. As a result, when an overcurrent flows through the polyswitch, the current flowing to the load can be limited to protect the load by identifying the polyswitch. That is, unlike the fuse, the polyswitch itself is not destroyed by overcurrent, there is no need to replace it, the payout motor drive IC633abb that drives the payout motor 584, which is a load, can be protected, and the caulking part needs to be broken. There is no.

The polyswitch PPS50 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape in its main body, and has a lead linear shape in which two leads project downward from the bottom surface. As described above, in the polyswitch PPS50, in the relationship between the element resistance and the element temperature, the resistance value suddenly increases from a specific temperature and the main body generates heat, and this heat lowers the conductivity and cuts off the current. When the main body is cooled, the conductivity returns and returns. Therefore, in order to efficiently cool the heat generated by the polyswitch PPS50, by arranging the two leads of the polyswitch PPS50 in the vertical direction, the surface on which the thickness of the main body of the polyswitch PPS50 is reduced is set in the vertical direction. This makes it easier for the heat generated by the main body of the polyswitch PPS50 to convection upward.

It is located in. As a result, it is possible to contribute to reducing the influence of noise due to the current on the payout motor 584 with respect to other electronic components mounted on the payout control board 633.

Further, since the polyswitch PPS50 can limit the current flowing through the payout motor 584, it is possible to protect the payout motor 584 from overheating.

Further, in the present embodiment, the polyswitch adopted as the resettable fuse is a PPTC (Polymer Positive Temperature) such as a polymer-based PTC (abbreviation for Positive Temperature Coefficien) thermistor.
Although it is an element (abbreviation of Coefficient), the same effect as the above-mentioned polyswitch can be obtained even if a ceramic PTC (abbreviation of Positive Temperature Coefficien) element or bimetal is used as the resettable fuse.

A daisy chain is electrically connected from the first-stage driver IC1720c2a1 to the final-stage driver IC1720c2a12. The driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 indicate information by the overcurrent protection unit (status information indicating the current state), information by the short circuit protection unit (status information indicating the presence or absence of a short circuit), and information by thermal shutdown (indicating a state of being shut down due to overheating). Information from the low voltage lockout unit (status information) and information (status information indicating the standby state when the input voltage drops below a predetermined voltage) can be read via the serial interface.

The terminals 14 (SDATIN terminals) of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 are serial data input terminals, and the 15 terminals (SDATOUT) of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 are serial data output terminals. The drive data signal SDAT for the drive motor, which is serial data from the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510, is a connector of the peripheral control board 1510, and a wiring that electrically connects the peripheral control board 1510 and the effect drive board 1720. When the data is first input to the terminal 14 of the driver IC1720C2a1 in the first stage via the harness), the connector of the effect drive board 1720, the effect drive input circuit (not shown above), and the resistor ER60, the drive motor drive is serial data from the 15 terminals. The data signal SDAT is output and input to the terminal 14 of the driver IC1720c2a2, which is the subsequent stage of the driver IC1720c2a1 in the first stage, via the resistor ER64.

The driver IC 1720c2a2 outputs the drive data signal SDAT for the drive motor, which is serial data, from the 15 terminals thereof to the driver IC 1720c2a3, which is the driver IC in the subsequent stage. Then, the drive data signal SDAT for the drive motor, which is serial data output from the 15 terminals of the driver IC1720c2a11, which is the driver immediately before the driver IC1720c2a12, which is the driver in the final stage, is finally reached in the subsequent stage via the resistor ER82. It is input to the terminal 14 of the driver IC1720c2a12 of the stage. In this way, the drive data signal SDAT for the drive motor, which is serial data, is transmitted from the first-stage driver IC1720C2a1 connected in a daisy chain electrically connected in beads to the final-stage driver IC1720C2a12.

Since the driver IC 1720c2a12 is the driver IC in the final stage, there is no driver IC in the subsequent stage. Therefore, the 15 terminals (SDATOUT) of the driver IC1720c2a12 in the final stage are not connected to the outside.

Further, in the drive data signal SDAT for the drive motor, which is serial data from the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the drive data for driving the drive motor on the game board 5, the inside of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 There is a command (status information acquisition data) for checking the status by status information. The status information includes information by the overcurrent protection unit (status information indicating the current status), information by the short circuit protection unit (status information indicating the presence or absence of a short circuit), and information by thermal shutdown (status indicating the state of being shut down due to overheating). Information), information from the low voltage lockout section (status information indicating the standby state when the input voltage drops below a predetermined voltage) is included. The driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 output status information as serial data from the terminal 16 (FAULT) described later.

The terminals 13 (SCLK terminals) of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 are serial clock signal input terminals.

Harness), is input to the effect drive board 1720 via the connector of the effect drive board 1720. The drive motor clock signal SCLK, which is a serial clock signal input to the effect drive board 1720, is branched toward the terminal 13 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 via the effect drive input circuit (not shown) described above. For example, the drive motor clock signal SCLK, which is a serial clock signal branched via an effect drive input circuit (not shown), is input to the terminal 13 of the driver IC1720c2a1 via the resistor ER61, and is input to the terminal 13 of the driver IC1720c2a2 via the resistor ER64. It is input to 13 and ... is input to the terminal 13 of the driver IC1720c2a12 via the resistor ER83. That is, the terminals 13 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 are electrically connected in parallel, unlike the terminals 14 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 to which serial data connected in a daisy chain is electrically connected.

The resistors ER60 to ER83 function as damping resistors that reduce signal reflection in the path for transmitting the drive data signal SDAT for the drive motor, which is serial data. This is because among the input terminals of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12, the terminals 13 and 14 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 are terminals for inputting signals related to serial communication, and the signal transmission speed is faster than other input terminals. Is. There is no problem even if damping resistors are provided in the other input terminals, the terminal 11 (LATCH terminal) and the terminal 8 (ENBL terminal), which will be described later. For example, when a collective resistor (resistor array) is a component that is commonly used on a plurality of substrates, a surface mount type resistor (SMD type resistor) is mounted on the terminals 13 and 14 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12, respectively. Compared with this, the number of parts is reduced, and when a collective resistor (resistor array) is used, it may be superior in terms of mounting density.

The terminal 11 (LATCH terminal) of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 is a latch signal input terminal. The drive motor latch signal SLAT, which is a latch signal from the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510, electrically connects the connector of the peripheral control board 1510 and the boards of the peripheral control board 1510 and the effect drive board 1720 (harness). ), Is input to the effect drive board 1720 via the connector of the effect drive board 1720.

The terminals 8 (ENBL terminals) of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 are enable signal input terminals, and are electrically connected to the ground (GND) (board ground) of the effect drive board 1720 in the present embodiment. The terminals 8 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 are pulled down internally, but the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 can be connected to the driver IC1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 by being electrically connected to the ground (GND) (board ground) of the effect drive board 1720. When the drive motor latch signal SLAT, which is a latch signal, is input to the terminal 11 and the logic is the capture permission logic (for example, HI), the drive is a clock signal input to the terminals 13 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12. The drive data signal SDAT for the drive motor, which is the serial data input to the terminals 14 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 based on the clock signal SCLK for the motor, is captured, and the captured serial data is converted into parallel data to be described later. Output from 3, 4, 6 and 7. On the other hand, in the driver IC1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12, when the drive motor latch signal SLAT which is a latch signal is input to the terminal 11 of the driver IC1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12 and the logic is the capture non-permission logic (for example, LOW), The drive data signal SDAT, which is the serial data input to the terminals 14 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12, is not taken in based on the drive motor clock signal SCLK which is the clock signal input to the terminals 13 of the driver ICs 1720c2a1 to 1720c2a12. , Maintain the current output state (that is, maintain the state of being captured last time, converted, and output from output terminals 3, 4, 6, and 7).

[11-3-3. Copper foil surface on the surface (fuse mounting surface) side of the board on which the fuse is mounted]
The copper foil surface on the surface (fuse mounting surface) side of the substrate on which the fuse is mounted will be described. The fuses include the + 5V fuse SF5 of the peripheral control board 1510, the + 12V fuse SF12 of the peripheral control board 1510, the + 24V fuse SF24 of the peripheral control board 1510, and the control power supply fuse SF3 of the peripheral control board 1510 shown in FIG. , + 12V fuse PF12, PF12a1, PF12a2 of the production display device 1600, + 5V fuse EF5 of the production drive board 1720, + 12V fuse EF12 of the production drive board 1720, and a fuse provided in the + 12V system driver circuit 1720c2 of the production drive board 1720. + 12V fuses EF12a1 to EF12a12) shown in FIG. 223, + 24V fuse EF24 of the effect drive board 1720, and fuses provided in the + 24V system driver circuit 1720c1 of the effect drive board 1720 (+ 24V fuses EF24a1, EF24a2 shown in FIG. 223). In addition to the + 12V fuse DF12 of each decorative board of the game board 5, there are + 12V fuse, + 24V fuse of each drive board of the door frame 3, + 12V fuse of each decorative board of the door frame 3, and the like.

Since each of these fuses in the present embodiment is of a surface mount type (so-called SMD type) and is mounted on a copper foil surface on the surface (mounting surface) side of each substrate, here, An effect in which the + 12V fuse EF12 of the production drive board 1720 and the fuse EF12a1 provided in the driver IC1720c2a1 that drives and controls the back-rear drive motor 3126 among the fuses provided in the + 12V system driver IC1720c2 of the production drive board 1720 are mounted. The copper foil surface on the surface (fuse mounting surface) side of the drive board 1720 will be described, and the selection method of each fuse will be described.

[11-3-3a. Copper foil surface on the surface (fuse mounting surface) side of the production drive board on which the + 12V fuse is mounted]
As shown in FIG. 224 (a), the surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive board 1720 on which the + 12V fuse EF1 is mounted has a circular shape through which each terminal (lead type connector) of the connector is inserted. A plurality of connector soldering copper foils (so-called “lands”) having Of the multiple connector soldering copper foils, the topmost terminal is the 1st terminal on the left side, and the 2nd terminal on the right side is assigned the power supply terminal. A GND terminal (ground terminal) is assigned to the 4th terminal below, and a control signal is assigned to other terminals (not shown). The surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive board 1720 is long in the vertical direction for mounting the + 12V fuse EF12 in the vicinity of the second terminal assigned as the power supply terminal among the plurality of connector soldering copper foils. Of a pair of fuse soldering copper foils EF12xpa and EF12xpb (so-called "pads") having a rectangular shape, the connector side fuse soldering copper foil EF12xpa is formed so as to be arranged, and the land of the first terminal A connector-side wiring pattern 1720xpa is formed that electrically connects the land of the second terminal and the copper foil EF12xpa for fuse soldering.

The connector is inserted into the copper foil for connector soldering and soldered on the back surface (fuse non-mounting surface) 1720y of the effect drive board 1720, and the pair of terminals of the + 12V fuse EF12 are paired with the copper foil EF12xpa for soldering the fuse. , EF12xpb, respectively, and soldered, the longitudinal direction of the connector and the longitudinal direction of the + 12V fuse EF12 are arranged perpendicular to each other.

Of the pair of copper foils for fuse soldering EF12xpa and EF12xpb, a plurality of through holes EF12t are formed in the vicinity of the copper foil EF12xpb for fuse soldering away from the connector in three rows along the vertical direction. The vertical distance dimension and the horizontal distance dimension of the through holes EF12t formed in a plurality of three rows are compared with the vertical distance dimension and the horizontal distance dimension of the copper foil EF12xpb for fuse soldering. Both are about twice as large. The through-hole EF12t is electrically connected by holes (copper-plated holes) penetrating both sides (front surface (fuse mounting surface) and back surface (fuse non-mounting surface)) of the effect drive substrate 1720. On the back surface (fuse non-mounting surface) 1720y of the effect drive board 1720, a copper foil region having a rectangular shape (not shown) covering the through hole EF12t is formed at a position corresponding to the through hole EF12t. It is formed as an island that is not electrically connected to the fuse non-mounting surface) the region of the copper foil formed on 1720y).

The surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive board 1720 electrically forms a pair of fuse soldering copper foils EF12xpa and EF12xpb, which are the fuse soldering copper foil EF12xpb and the through hole EF12t separated from the connector. A trailing side wiring pattern 1720xpb for connecting and supplying a + 12V power supply line to a plurality of electronic components (not shown) following and subsequent boards (each decorative board of the game board 5) is formed.

The line width Pw2 of the subsequent side wiring pattern 1720xpb is larger than the line width Pw1 of the connector side wiring pattern 1720xpa, and is formed to be about twice as large in this embodiment. Since the copper foil for connector soldering to which the connector side wiring pattern 1720xpa is electrically connected is formed by arranging them close to each other in the vertical and horizontal directions, it is difficult to increase the line width of the wiring pattern, but the + 12V power supply. If the wiring pattern through which the current that supplies the line flows is routed in the effect drive board 1720 with a thin line, the wiring pattern may be burnt out within the capacity selected for the + 12V fuse EF12. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is difficult to secure a large line width Pw1 of the connector side wiring pattern 1720xpa. Therefore, among the plurality of connector soldering copper foils, the line length of the connector side wiring pattern 1720xpa can be shortened as much as possible. A + 12V fuse EF12 is placed near the second terminal assigned as the power supply terminal.

The + 12V fuse EF12 must not be blown by the use of inrush current or normal steady current when the power is turned on, but must be blown by overcurrent. The reason for providing the through hole EF12t is that the temperature of the trailing side wiring pattern 1720xpb rises because the current of the + 12V power supply line flows, but the + 12V fuse EF12 is copper-plated so as not to blow due to the temperature rise due to normal use. The surface area is increased and cooled by the holes to be formed and the copper foil region having a rectangular shape (not shown) formed on the back surface (fuse non-mounting surface) 1720y of the effect drive substrate 1720.

The surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive substrate 1720 is coated with a resist liquid of a predetermined color except for the copper foil for connector soldering, the pair of copper foils for fuse soldering EF12xpa, EF12xpb, and the through hole EF12t. The orientation, part number, pin number, etc. of the electronic component are printed by silk printing with a paint of a predetermined color. The color of the resist liquid and the color of the paint include, for example, white, yellow, green, black, red, and blue, and are used in appropriate combinations.

[11-3-3b. Copper foil surface on the surface (fuse mounting surface) side of the production drive board on which the fuse provided in the + 12V driver IC is mounted]
Of the fuses provided on the + 12V driver IC1720c2 of the effect drive board 1720, the surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive board 1720 on which the fuse EF12a1 provided on the driver IC1720c2a1 that drives and controls the back-rear drive motor 3126 is mounted. As shown in FIG. 224 (b), the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc branched from the above-mentioned subsequent side wiring pattern 1720xpb that supplies the + 12V power supply line has a rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction for mounting the fuse EF12a1 provided on the driver IC 1720c2a1. Of the pair of fuse soldering copper foils EF12a1xpa and EF12a1xpb (so-called "pads"), the branch side fuse soldering copper foil EF12a1xpa is formed so as to be arranged, and the branch side fuse soldering copper foil EF12a1xpa is formed. And the VM terminal copper foil VMp (so-called "pad") having a long rectangular shape in the left-right direction on which the terminal 1 (VM terminal) of the driver IC 1720c2a1 is mounted, and the VM terminal wiring pattern 1720xpd Is formed. In addition, on the surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive board 1720, wiring copper foil (so-called "pad") for each terminal is provided even if it corresponds to other terminals in addition to the VM terminal and VCLAMP terminal of the driver IC1720c2a1. Each is formed.

Further, the surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive board 1720 is a copper foil VCLAMPp (so-called "pad") for a VCLAMP terminal having a long rectangular shape in the left-right direction on which the terminal 2 (VCLAMP terminal) of the driver IC 1720c2a1 is mounted. And the copper foil ED60ap (so-called "pad") for the anode terminal having a long rectangular shape in the vertical direction on which the anode terminal of the Zener diode ED60 is mounted, the copper foil VCLAMPp for the VCLAMP terminal, and the copper foil ED60ap for the anode terminal are electrically operated. The wiring pattern 1720xpe for the VCLAMP terminal, which is connected to the device, is formed. The line width of the wiring pattern 1720xpe for the VMLAMP terminal is the same as the line width of the wiring pattern 1720xpd for the VM terminal.

Further, the surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive board 1720 is electrically connected to the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc of the pair of fuse soldering copper foils EF12a1xpa and EF12a1xpb apart from the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc (that is, the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc). Branch side fuse soldering copper foil EF12a1xpa and the other) In the vicinity of the fuse soldering copper foil EF12a1xpb, a plurality of through holes EF12a1t are formed in two rows along the left-right direction. The horizontal distance dimension and the vertical distance dimension of the through holes EF12a1t that are formed in multiple lines are about the same as the horizontal distance dimension and the vertical distance dimension of the copper foil EF12a1xpb for fuse soldering. It's about one size larger. The through-hole EF12a1t is electrically connected by holes (copper-plated holes) penetrating both sides (front surface (fuse mounting surface) and back surface (fuse non-mounting surface)) of the effect drive substrate 1720. On the back surface (fuse non-mounting surface) 1720y of the effect drive substrate 1720, a copper foil region having a rectangular shape (not shown) covering the through hole EF12a1t at a position corresponding to the through hole EF12a1t (through at a position corresponding to the above-mentioned through hole EF12t). A copper foil region different from the copper foil region having a rectangular shape (not shown) that covers the hole EF12t is electrically different from other regions (the copper foil region formed on the back surface (fuse non-mounting surface) 1720y of the effect drive substrate 1720). It is formed as an unconnected island.

The surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive board 1720 is a branch of a pair of fuse soldering copper foils EF12a1xpa and EF12a1xpb that is separated from the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc (that is, electrically connected to the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc). Copper foil for side fuse soldering EF12a1xpa and the other) Copper foil for fuse soldering EF12a1xpb, through hole EF12a1t, and copper foil for cathode terminals having a long rectangular shape in the vertical direction on which the cathode terminals of the Zener diode ED60 are mounted. To supply a power supply line called MOT1 + 12V that electrically connects the ED60kp (so-called "pad"), the copper foil VCLAMPp for the VCLAMP terminal, and the copper foil ED60ap for the anode terminal to supply power to the back-rear drive motor 3126. The motor-side wiring pattern 1720xpf is formed.

A pair of terminals of the + 12V fuse EF12a1 provided on the driver IC1720c2a1 are placed and soldered on the pair of fuse soldering copper foils EF12a1xpa and EF12a1xpb, respectively, and the anode terminal and cathode terminal of the Zener diode ED60 are copper for the anode terminal. When placed on the foil ED60ap and the copper foil ED60kp for the anode terminal and soldered, the longitudinal direction of the + 12V fuse EF12a1 and the longitudinal direction of the Zener diode ED60 are arranged perpendicular to each other.

As described above, the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc is branched from the above-mentioned succeeding side wiring pattern 1720xpb that supplies the + 12V power supply line, and the line width Pa1w1 is compared with the line width Pw2 of the above-mentioned succeeding side wiring pattern 1720xpb. Although it is small, it is formed larger than the distance dimension in the left-right direction of the copper foil EF12a1xpa for soldering the fuse on the branch side. The line width Pa1w1 of the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc may be larger, the same, or smaller than the line width of the connector side wiring pattern 1720xpa described above, but the line of the wiring pattern 1720xpd for the VM terminal may be smaller. The width is formed larger than the line width of the wiring pattern 1720xpe for the VMLAMP terminal. Although the line width of the wiring pattern 1720xpd for the VM terminal and the line width of the wiring pattern 1720xpe for the VCLAMP terminal are the same, they are formed thinner than the line width Pa1w1 of the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc.

The line width Pa1w2 of the motor-side wiring pattern 1720xpf is larger than the line width Pa1w1 of the branch wiring pattern 1720xpc, and is formed about 1.5 times larger in this embodiment. The wiring pattern 1720xpd for the VM terminal and the wiring pattern 1720xpe for the VCLAMP terminal to which the + 12V power supply line is supplied have a narrow line width, whereas the wiring pattern 1720xpf on the motor side has a thick line width on the motor side. This is because the pattern 1720xpf supplies a power supply line called MOT1 + 12V that supplies power to the back-rear drive motor 3126, and the amount of current flowing is large.

The + 12V fuse EF12a1 provided in the driver IC1720c2a1 must not be blown by the use of an inrush current or a normal steady current when the power is turned on, but must be blown by an overcurrent. The reason for providing the through hole EF12a1t is that the wiring pattern 1720xpf on the motor side causes the current of the power supply line called MOT1 + 12V that supplies power to the back-rear drive motor 3126 to flow, so that the temperature rises. A copper foil region (described above) having a through hole to be copper-plated and a rectangular shape (not shown above) formed on the back surface (fuse non-mounting surface) 1720y of the effect drive substrate 1720 so that the + 12V fuse EF12a1 is not blown. A copper foil region (a copper foil region different from the copper foil region having a rectangular shape (not shown) that covers the through hole EF12t at a position corresponding to the through hole EF12t) is used to increase the surface area for cooling.

Further, the surface (fuse mounting surface) 1720x of the effect drive board 1720 is for a pair of fuse soldering in addition to the above-mentioned copper foil for connector soldering, a pair of copper foils for fuse soldering EF12xpa, EF12xpb, and a through hole EF12t. Copper foil EF12a1xpa, EF12a1xpb, through hole EF12a1t, copper foil ED60ap for anode terminal, copper foil ED60kp for cathode terminal, copper foil VMp for VM terminal, copper foil VCLAMPp for VCLAMP terminal, and wiring copper foil for each terminal are specified. A color resist solution is applied, and the orientation, part number, pin number, etc. of the electronic part are printed by silk printing with a paint of a predetermined color. The color of the resist liquid and the color of the paint include, for example, white, yellow, green, black, red, and blue, and are used in appropriate combinations.

[11-3-3c. How to select the capacity of each fuse]
Here, a method of selecting each fuse will be briefly described. The fuse must not be blown by the use of inrush current or normal steady current when the power is turned on, but it must be blown by overcurrent. However, depending on the mounting density of the fuse, other electronic components are mounted around it, and other electronic components are densely mounted around the fuse, and other electronic components are densely mounted around the fuse. Comparing with the low mounting density state that is not mounted in, the temperature of the fuse itself in the high mounting density state is higher than the temperature of the fuse itself in the low mounting density state even if the temperature around the fuse is the same. Become. Therefore, it is preferable that the capacity of each fuse is selected based on the temperature at the pair of terminals of each fuse in addition to the ambient temperature of each fuse. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the capacity of each fuse is selected based on the temperature at the pair of terminals of each fuse in addition to the ambient temperature of each fuse. For example, when an electronic component is mounted as a heating element around a fuse mounted on a board and selection is made based on the relationship between the rated current ratio (%) and the ambient temperature (° C), the fuse ambient temperature is used as the ambient temperature. Instead, use the temperature of the fuse terminals. When this selection method is used, for example, when the capacity of the fuse selected by using the ambient temperature of the fuse as the ambient temperature is selected by using the temperature of the terminal of the fuse as the ambient temperature, the selection result is that it cannot be selected. In some cases, the selection is risky. It should be noted that the selection result is that the selection is possible regardless of whether the selection is made using the fuse ambient temperature as the ambient temperature or the fuse terminal as the ambient temperature. Is more preferable.

Of the capacity of each fuse, the capacity of the + 5V fuse SF5, which is the main fuse of the + 5V power supply line supplied from the peripheral control board 1510, is the capacity of the + 5V fuse mounted on the effect drive board 1720 which is the succeeding board. Compared to the largest, the + 5V fuse mounted on the succeeding board is smaller than the capacity of the fuse mounted on the previous board, and a plurality of fuses are mounted on the succeeding board. In this case, the capacity of the fuse in the first stage is smaller than the capacity of the fuse mounted on the previous board in the same subsequent board, and the capacity of the fuse in the first stage is the capacity of the fuse in the final stage. It is larger than that.

For example, in the + 5V power supply line, when four fuses are provided on the same succeeding board, the capacity of the first stage fuse is larger than the capacity of the final stage fuse, and the capacity of the first middle stage fuse is large. The capacity is smaller than the capacity of the previous first stage fuse, the capacity of the second middle stage fuse is smaller than the capacity of the previous first middle stage fuse, and the capacity of the final stage fuse is one previous stage. It may be smaller than the capacity of the fuse in the second middle stage.

It may be the same as the capacity of the fuse in the second middle stage of. Further, for example, in the + 5V power supply line, when four fuses are provided on the same succeeding board, the capacity of the first stage fuse is larger than the capacity of the final stage fuse, and the first middle stage fuse. The capacity of the previous first stage fuse is smaller than the capacity of the previous first stage fuse, the capacity of the second middle stage fuse is the same as the capacity of the previous first middle stage fuse, and the capacity of the final stage fuse is 1. It may be smaller than the capacity of the previous second middle stage fuse, or it may be the same. Further, for example, in the + 5V power supply line, when four fuses are provided on the same succeeding board, the capacity of the fuse in the first stage is the capacity of the fuse in the first middle stage, the capacity of the fuse in the second middle stage, and the final stage. It may be smaller than the combined capacity of the fuses of the above, or may be the same. In the + 5V power supply line, if the capacity of the fuse in the first stage is larger than the capacity of the fuse in the first middle stage, the capacity of the fuse in the second middle stage, and the capacity of the fuse in the final stage, it will be applied to the board. The substrate itself may ignite due to overcurrent.

Further, among the capacities of each fuse, the capacities of the + 12V fuse SF12, which is the main fuse of the + 12V power supply line supplied from the peripheral control board 1510, are the effect display device 1600, the effect drive board 1720, and the game board 5 which are subsequent boards. Compared to the capacity of the + 12V fuse mounted on each decorative board, the subsequent board has the capacity of the fuse mounted on the previous board (the fuse is not mounted on the previous board). Sometimes it is smaller than the capacity of the fuse in the previous board on which the fuse is mounted. The same shall apply hereinafter), and when multiple fuses are mounted on the succeeding board, the same succeeding board The capacity of the first-stage fuse is smaller than the capacity of the fuse mounted on the previous board, and the capacity of the first-stage fuse is larger than the capacity of the final-stage fuse.

The capacity of the previous first stage fuse is smaller than the capacity of the previous first stage fuse, the capacity of the second middle stage fuse is smaller than the capacity of the previous first middle stage fuse, and the capacity of the final stage fuse is one previous stage. It may be the same as the capacity of the fuse in the second middle stage of. Further, for example, in the + 12V power supply line, when four fuses are provided on the same succeeding board, the capacity of the first stage fuse is larger than the capacity of the final stage fuse, and the first middle stage fuse. The capacity of the previous first stage fuse is smaller than the capacity of the previous first stage fuse, the capacity of the second middle stage fuse is the same as the capacity of the previous first middle stage fuse, and the capacity of the final stage fuse is 1. It may be smaller than the capacity of the previous second middle stage fuse, or it may be the same. Further, for example, in the + 12V power supply line, when four fuses are provided on the same succeeding board, the capacity of the fuse in the first stage is the capacity of the fuse in the first middle stage, the capacity of the fuse in the second middle stage, and the final stage. It may be smaller than the combined capacity of the fuses of the above, or may be the same. In the + 12V power supply line, if the capacity of the first stage fuse is larger than the total capacity of the first middle stage fuse, the second middle stage fuse, and the final stage fuse, it will be applied to the board. The substrate itself may ignite due to overcurrent.

Of the capacity of each fuse, the capacity of the + 24V fuse SF24, which is the main fuse of the + 24V power supply line supplied from the peripheral control board 1510, is the capacity of the + 24V fuse mounted on the effect drive board 1720 which is the succeeding board. The largest fuse for + 24V mounted on the succeeding board is smaller than the capacity of the fuse mounted on the previous board, and a plurality of fuses are mounted on the succeeding board. In this case, the capacity of the fuse in the first stage is smaller than the capacity of the fuse mounted on the previous board in the same subsequent board, and the capacity of the fuse in the first stage is the capacity of the fuse in the final stage.

As described above, the LED constant current drive circuit 283a sets the sink (suction) type constant current drive circuit 283x capable of passing a constant current through the sdLED1 to sdLED6 and the maximum current of the current flowing through the sdLED1 to sdLED6. It is mainly composed of a maximum current setting circuit 283y that can be used.

[12-2-1. Constant current drive circuit]
The constant current drive circuit has 24 output channels and can output current for each channel. In the present embodiment, the output channel LR is relative to the LED element that emits red (R), the LED element that emits green (G), and the LED element that emits blue (B), which constitute one full-color LED. , LG and LB are individually controlled to use three output channels. That is, in the present embodiment, the light emission mode is controlled by individually controlling the output channels LR1 to LR8, LG1 to LG8, and LB1 to LB8 for a maximum of eight full-color LEDs in one constant current drive circuit. Can be done.

The constant current drive circuit 283x is described from the linear power supply 283xa, the reset unit 283xb, the data line buffer 283xc, the clock line buffer 283xd, the address setting unit 283xe, the oscillator 283xf, the logic processing unit 283xg, the PWM unit 283xh, and the constant current drive unit 283xi. It is mainly composed.

[12-2-2. Linear power supply]
As described above, the + 12V input to the lower left decorative board 283 of the dish is a surface mount type that is soldered to the lower left decorative board 283 of the dish and surface-mounted as a + 12V fuse provided on each decorative board on the door frame 3 side. It becomes a + 12V power supply line through the + 12V fuse SLLDF12 which is a chip fuse of. The linear power supply 283xa is a circuit capable of creating and supplying an internal power supply Vreg (+ 5V in the present embodiment) to be used in the constant current drive circuit 283x by inputting + 12V from the + 12V power supply line. The internal power supply Vreg created by the linear power supply 283xa includes a reset unit 283xb, a data line buffer 283xc, a clock line buffer 283xd, an address setting unit 283xe, an oscillator 283xf, a logic processing unit 283xg, a PWM unit 283xh, and a constant current drive unit.

The constant current drive circuit 283x is not electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line supplied (output) from the power supply board 630 shown in FIG. 95 via various boards, and independently creates + DC 5V as an internal power supply Vreg. It is used in the constant current drive circuit 283x. This is because when the + 5V power supply line supplied (output) from the power supply board 630 via various boards is used, this + 5V power supply line is used by routing the electrical wiring, so that the + 5V power supply line that supplies + 5V is used. The length of the wire becomes long and noise easily enters. Then, when the external noise is transmitted to the + 5V power supply line and + 5V is input to the constant current drive circuit 283x, the LED may flicker due to the influence of the external noise. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the + 5V power supply line supplied (output) from the power supply board 630 via various boards is not required for the constant current drive circuit 283x, so that the noise resistance is extremely high as compared with the + 5V power supply line.

Since it can be made difficult, the internal power supply Vreg can be stabilized. As a result, the internal power supply Vreg is stabilized, which can contribute to the prevention of flicker of the sdLED1 to sdLED6, which are full-color LEDs due to external noise. Therefore, it can be made resistant to external noise. In addition, the input electrical wiring and the external transmission electrical wiring for the + 5V power supply line are not required, which can contribute to the miniaturization of the connector.

The reset unit 283xb creates an internal reset signal RST based on the internal power supply Vreg from the linear power supply 283xa and outputs it into the constant current drive circuit 283x, initializes the constant current drive circuit 283x, and operates the constant current drive circuit 283x. It is a so-called power-on reset circuit that can be started. The internal reset signal RST output from the reset unit 283xb is input to the data line buffer 283xc, the clock line buffer 283xd, the address setting unit 283xe, the oscillator 283xf, the logic processing unit 283xg, the PWM unit 283xh, and the constant current drive unit 283xi.

For example, the constant current drive circuit 283x does not input the reset signal from the peripheral control board 1510 shown in FIG. 211, and independently creates a reset signal as an internal reset signal RST and uses it in the constant current drive circuit 283x. There is. For example, when a line for transmitting a reset signal from the peripheral control board 1510 (hereinafter, referred to as "reset signal transmission line") is used, this reset signal transmission line is used by routing electrical wiring. Therefore, the length of the reset signal transmission line that transmits the reset signal becomes long, and noise easily enters. Then, when the external noise is transmitted to the reset signal transmission line and the reset signal is input to the constant current drive circuit 283x, the constant current drive circuit 283x may be reset and the LED may be turned off due to the influence of the external noise. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by eliminating the need for the reset signal transmission line in the constant current drive circuit 283x, the reset unit 283xb of the constant current drive circuit 283x independently creates a reset signal as an internal reset signal RST. did.

By using this, it is possible to make it difficult for external noise to be transmitted to the internal reset signal RST, so that the internal reset signal RST can be stabilized. As a result, the internal reset signal RST is stabilized (that is, the initialization of the constant current drive circuit 283x is stabilized), so that the constant current drive circuit 283x due to external noise is not reset, and the output channels LR1 to LR8, It can contribute to the prevention of unexpected extinguishing and flicker of the LED elements constituting the full-color LED corresponding to LG1 to LG8 and LB1 to LB8. Therefore, it can be made resistant to external noise. Further, the input electrical wiring and the external transmission electrical wiring for the reset signal transmission line are not required, which can contribute to the miniaturization of the connector.

Has been done. The output channels LR8, LG8, and LB8 of the LED constant current drive circuit 402bb are not connected.

The LED constant current drive circuit 402ba is based on the door frame side second serial system (light emitting data SDAT2, clock signal SCLK2), and when its own ID is included in the ID information of the light emitting data SDAT2, the LED constant current drive circuit 402ba is referred to from the light emitting data SDAT2. Of the 10 full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10, 8 full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED8 are individually controlled and dimmed so as to capture the gradation information and obtain the captured gradation information. ..

The LED constant current drive circuit 402bb is a door frame side second serial system (light emitting data) input via a data line buffer 402baxc and a clock line buffer 402baxd in the constant current drive circuit 402bax constituting the LED constant current drive circuit 402ba. Based on SDAT2, clock signal SCLK2), when the ID information of the light emitting data LED2 includes its own ID, gradation information is taken from the light emitting data LED2 so that the taken-in gradation information is used. Of the hdLED1 to hdLED10 which are full-color LEDs, the remaining two full-color LEDs hdLED9 and hdLED10 are individually controlled to be dimmed and lit, and the left side which is a subsequent board of the lower left side decorative board 402b. The huLED1 to huLED5, which are five full-color LEDs mounted on the upper decorative substrate 402a, are individually controlled to be dimmed and lit.

As described above, since the LED constant current drive circuit 402ba is a sink (suction) type, heat is generated by sucking the constant current flowing through 8 hdLED1 to hdLED8 among the 10 full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10. To do. Therefore, a part of the heat generated by the LED constant current drive circuit 402ba (to be exact, the constant current drive circuit 402bax) is handled by the thermal dispersion resistors hdRr1 to hdRr8, hdRg1 to hdRg8, hdRb1 to hdRb8, which constitute the thermal dispersion circuit 402bc. This makes it possible to disperse the heat generated by the LED constant current drive circuit 402ba (to be exact, the constant current drive circuit 402bax).

As described above, the LED constant current drive circuit 402bb is a sink (suction) type, so that the constant current flowing through two hdLED9 and hdLED10 among the ten full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10 is sucked and left. Heat is generated by sucking a constant current flowing through huLED1 to huLED5, which are five full-color LEDs mounted on the left side upper decorative substrate 402a, which is a subsequent substrate of the side lower decorative substrate 402b. Therefore, a part of the heat generated by the LED constant current drive circuit 402bb (to be exact, the constant current drive circuit 402bbx) is generated for two hdLED9s and hdLED10s out of the ten full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10. Five thermal dispersion resistors hdRr9, hdRr10, hdRg9, hdRg10, hdRb9, hdRb10 constituting the thermal dispersion circuit 402bc, and five mounted on the left side upper decorative substrate 402a which is a subsequent substrate of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b. For huLED1 to huLED5, which are full-color LEDs, the thermal dispersion resistors huRr1a to huRr5a, huRg1a to huRg5a, huRb1a to huRb5a, and the left side upper decorative substrate 402a, which form the thermal dispersion circuit 402bc in the left side lower decorative substrate 402b. The heat generation of the LED constant current drive circuit 402bb (to be exact, the constant current drive circuit 402bbx) is dispersed by taking charge of the heat dispersion resistors huRr1b to huRr5b, huRg1b to huRg5b, and huRb1b to huRb5b constituting the heat distribution circuit 402ac. You can do it.

Further, as described above, the heat distribution circuit 402bc of the left side lower decorative board 402b and the heat distribution circuit 402ac of the left side upper decoration board 402a are LED constant current drive circuit 402bb (to be exact, constant current drive circuit 402bbx). In addition to the function of being able to disperse the heat generated by the electric current, it also has the function of preventing damage to electronic components due to static electricity.

[13. Various control processes on the main control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. 137 according to the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 228 to 233. FIG. 228 is a flowchart showing an example of the main control side power-on processing, FIG. 229 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the main control-side power-on processing of FIG. 228, and FIG. 230 is an example of the main control side timer interrupt processing. 231 is a flowchart showing an example of setting change processing, FIG. 232 is a flowchart showing an example of setting value confirmation display processing, and FIG. 233 is a flowchart showing an example of error display processing. First, various random numbers used for game control will be explained, followed by the operation of the initial value update type counter, the main control side power-on processing, the main control side timer interrupt processing, the setting change processing, the setting value confirmation display processing, and the error. The display process will be described.

[13-1. Various random numbers]
As various random numbers used for game control, a special random number used to determine whether or not to generate a big hit game state or a small hit game state, and an initial value for hit determination to be used to determine the initial value of this special random number. A determined random number, a reach determination random number for determining whether to generate reach (reach loss) when the jackpot game state is not generated, and a first special symbol display and a second special of the function display unit 1400. A random number for the variable display pattern used to determine the variable display pattern of the special symbol that is variablely displayed on the symbol display, and the first special symbol display and the second special of the function display unit 1400 when the jackpot game state is generated. A symbol random number to be used to determine the jackpot symbol and small hit symbol (determination of the hit type) derived and displayed on the symbol display, and a random number to determine the initial value for the jackpot symbol to be used to determine the initial value of this symbol random number. Etc. are prepared. Further, in addition to these random numbers, a random number for determining whether or not to open / close the movable piece capable of accepting the game ball of the second starting port 2004, and a random number for determining the normal symbol hit, and the normal symbol hit determination. The initial value determination random number for determining the normal symbol hit to be used for determining the initial value of the random number for use, and the normal symbol for determining the variable display pattern of the ordinary symbol that is variablely displayed on the ordinary symbol display of the function display unit 1400. Random numbers for variable display patterns are available.

Of the various random numbers used for such game control, the special random numbers are updated by the hardware, while the other various random numbers are updated by the software.

[13-2. Initial value update type counter operation]
For example, the special random number is updated directly by the hardware by the main control built-in hard random number circuit built in the main control MPU. When the main control MPU is reset, this hard random number circuit with built-in main control first sets one value within a predetermined numerical range as an initial value, and at high speed in advance based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU. After extracting other values within the predetermined numerical range one after another and extracting all the values within the predetermined numerical range, one value within the predetermined numerical range is extracted again and the main control is performed. Based on the clock signal input to the MPU, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed. The main control built-in hard random number circuit repeatedly performs such a high-speed lottery, and the main control MPU sets the value extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit as a special random number at the time of acquiring the value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit. It is designed to do.

On the other hand, the counter that updates the random number for normal symbol hit determination is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical value range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and the range from the minimum value to the maximum value will be described later. Each time the main control side timer interrupt process is performed, the value is incremented by 1 to count up. This counter counts up from the normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number toward the maximum value, and then counts up from the minimum value toward the normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number. When the counter finishes counting up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the normal symbol hit judgment random number, the normal symbol hit judgment initial value determination random number is updated. Such a counter update method is called an "initial value update type counter". The normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number can be obtained by executing an initial value lottery process in which one value is drawn from the fixed numerical value range of the counter that updates the normal symbol hit determination random number.

In this embodiment, when the RAM clear switch of the main control board 1310 is operated when the power is turned on, or when the main control side power is turned on, which will be described later, various types of RAM are stored in the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU. The checksum value (sum value) obtained by regarding the information as a numerical value and calculating the total is one with the checksum value (sum value) stored in the main control side power off processing (power off). When clearing all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area, such as when not done, the initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit judgment is derived from the non-volatile RAM built in by the main control MPU. An initial value derivation process is executed in which the ID code is extracted and the same fixed value is always derived from the fixed numerical range of the counter that updates the random number for normal symbol hit determination based on the extracted ID code, and the derived fixed value is obtained. It is a mechanism to be set. That is, the same fixed value derived based on the ID code is constantly overwritten and updated in the initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination by executing the initial value derivation process. In this way, the value set in the initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination is derived using the ID code, and is stored in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU by the manufacturer of the main control MPU. The first security measure that the ID code cannot be rewritten even if an external device is used when the ID code is stored, and the initial value derivation process when clearing all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area. It is prevented from being analyzed by taking a second security measure of deriving the same fixed value based on the ID code by executing it and a two-step security measure by.

Here, an advantage of extracting an ID code from the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU and using the extracted ID code as an initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination will be described. For example, a person who illegally obtains a game ball to be paid out as a prize ball obtains the game board 5 by some method, disassembles it, and inputs an ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU. Even if it is possible to grasp the timing when the value of the counter that illegally acquires and updates the random number for normal symbol hit judgment and the normal symbol hit judgment value match, the ID code is unique for identifying the individual. Since the code is attached, the ID code is completely different from the ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU'provided in the other game board 5'. That is, in the other game board 5', the timing at which the value of the counter for updating the random number for the normal symbol hit determination and the normal symbol hit determination value match is also completely different from that of the obtained game board 5. In other words, the ID code obtained by disassembling and analyzing the obtained game board 5 is completely useless in another game board 5', that is, another pachinko machine 1', so it was disassembled and analyzed. Even if a momentary power failure is generated at each predetermined interval obtained and the game ball is passed through the gate portion 2003 at each predetermined interval, the movable piece can be opened and closed to accept the game ball into the second starting port 2004. It is not possible to generate a gaming state.

[13-3. Main control side power-on processing]
First, when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, the main control MPU is configured so that the stack pointer is set at a predetermined address as a default. This stack pointer indicates, for example, the address loaded on the stack for temporarily storing the contents of the storage element (register) in use, or the return address of this routine when the subroutine is terminated and returned to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for temporary storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked.

Under the control of the main control MPU, as shown in FIGS. 228 and 229, the main control side power-on processing is performed. When the main control side power-on processing is started, the main control MPU sets the RAM access permission (step S10). By setting this RAM access permission, the main control built-in RAM can be updated.

Following step S10, the main control MPU performs a power failure clearing process (step S12). In this power failure clearing process, a wait timer process is performed to determine whether or not a power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit is input. The voltage does not rise immediately between the time the power is turned on and the voltage reaches the specified voltage. On the other hand, in the event of a power failure or momentary power failure (a phenomenon in which the power supply is temporarily stopped), the voltage drops, and when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit as a power failure warning. Similarly, when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage between the time when the power is turned on and the voltage rises to a predetermined voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit. Therefore, the wait timer process is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes higher than the power failure warning voltage and stabilizes after the power is turned on. In the present embodiment, 200 milliseconds (ms) is set as the waiting time (wait timer). Has been done.

Following step S12, the main control MPU determines whether or not the RAM clear switch is being operated (step S14). In this determination, the main control MPU determines that the RAM is cleared when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch is HI, and determines that the RAM clear switch is not operated, while the RAM When the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the clear switch is LOW, it is determined that the RAM is cleared, and it is determined that the RAM clear switch is being operated. Since the time is extremely short within the period from the start of the main control side power-on processing, which is this routine, to the determination in step S14, the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch is actually pressed. The person who does this turns on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch.

In the determination in step S14, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch is being operated, it sets the value 1 in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16A). On the other hand, in the determination in step S14, when the main control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch is not operated, the value 0 is set in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16B). That is, the main control MPU is in a state in which the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (that is, the main control built-in RAM) built in the main control MPU can be executed for a predetermined time from the time when the power is turned on. The RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG described above is stored in the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU, and is stored in the main control built-in RAM. It is a flag indicating whether to delete various information including information indicating the value of the information output judgment counter), and is set to a value 1 when various information is deleted and a value 0 when various information is not deleted. .. The values of the RAM clear notification flags RCL-FLG set in steps S16A and S16B are stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU.

Following step S16A or step S16B, it is determined whether or not there is an operation of opening the main body frame 4 and turning on the setting key (step S18). In this determination, the main control MPU inserts the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 and the setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a. Then, the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise from the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a), and the setting key switch is operated by the first ON operation. The setting key is turned on by 1311a, and the setting key is turned on by the setting key switch 1311a. The main control MPU determines that the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame release switch 4b, and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the setting key ON signal. While it is determined that the predetermined set value change permission condition is satisfied, the main body frame 4 is not opened with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b. And / or by determining that the setting key switch 1311a is not turned on by the signal of setting key ON, it is determined that the predetermined setting value change permission condition is not satisfied.

In the determination in step S18, when the main control MPU determines that the predetermined set value change permission condition is satisfied, the main control MPU sets the value 1 in the setting change permission flag CS-FLG (step S20A). On the other hand, in the determination in step S18, when it is determined that the predetermined set value change permission condition is not satisfied, the main control MPU sets the value 0 in the setting change permission flag CS-FLG (step S20B). The setting change permission flag CS-FLG is the current setting value (setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a) stored in a predetermined area (described later, a setting value dedicated area in a specific area) of the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU. Is a flag indicating whether or not to allow the setting change of the set value 1 to the set value 6 at the time of the first ON operation), and the setting of the set value is changed. The value is set to 1 when it is permitted, and the value is set to 0 when it is not permitted to change the setting of the set value. The values of the setting change permission flag CS-FLG set in steps S20A and S20B are stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU.

Following step S20A or step S20B, the main control MPU performs a wait time wait process (step S22). In this wait time waiting process, the system that controls drawing of the peripheral control board 1510 is waited until it starts (boots). In this embodiment, 2.5 seconds (s) is set as a waiting time (boot timer) until booting. The peripheral control board 1510 is in a state in which various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) can be received when the main control MPU completes the wait time standby process. When the main control MPU completes the wait time standby process, the payout control board 633 boots in a shorter time than the peripheral control board 1510. Therefore, the payout control board 633 is the main control board 1310 (main control MPU). ) Is in a state where it can receive various commands.

Following step S22, the main control MPU determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S24). As described above, when the power supply of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs, when the voltage becomes equal to or lower than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit as a power failure warning. The determination in step S24 is performed based on this power failure warning signal. In the determination in step S24, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, the main control MPU returns to the determination in step S24 again, and repeats the determination in step S24 as long as the power failure warning signal is continuously input. A detailed description of the point that the determination in step S24 is performed following the wait time waiting process in step S22 will be described later.

In the determination in step S24, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is not input, the main control MPU determines whether or not the setting change permission flag CS-FLG has a value of 0 (step S25). The setting change permission flag CS-FLG is set to a value 1 when the setting change of the set value is permitted, and a value 0 when the setting change of the set value is not permitted.

In the determination in step S25, when the setting change permission flag CS-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when the setting change of the setting value is not permitted, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0. (Step S26). As described above, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set to a value 1 when various information is erased and a value 0 when various information is not erased. In the determination in step S26, the main control MPU calculates the checksum when the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that various information is not erased (step S28). This checksum regards various information stored in the main control built-in RAM as numerical values and calculates the total.

Following step S28, the main control MPU has a calculated checksum value (sum value) with a checksum value (sum value) stored in the main control side power off processing (power off) described later. It is determined whether or not they match (step S30). In step S30, when the main control MPU determines that they match, it determines whether or not the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1 (step S32). The backup flag BK-FLG stores various information, checksum value (sum value), game backup information such as backup flag BK-FLG value, etc. in the main control built-in RAM in the main control side power off processing described later. This flag indicates whether or not the operation has been performed, and is set to a value of 1 when the main control side power off processing is normally completed, and a value of 0 when the main control side power off processing is not normally completed. In the inspection process of the production line of the main control board 1310, the checksum of step S28 is calculated and the determination of step S30 is performed when the main control board 1310 is first turned on after being manufactured for inspection. , Will be described in detail later.

In the determination in step S30, when the main control MPU determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match, or in the determination in step S32, the main control MPU has a backup flag BK-FLG that is not a value 1. When (value is 0), that is, when it is determined that the main control side power off processing has not been normally completed, an error display processing is performed (step S33), and an infinite loop is entered. Due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display process is completed is maintained, the game cannot proceed at all, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, and the power is turned on again. The detailed explanation of this error display processing will be described later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power off processing is not completed normally when the power is cut off. If it is determined, it is considered that the contents stored in the main control built-in RAM are abnormal (or cannot be trusted), and an error display is performed to that effect. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU displays the letter E as an error display on the setting display 1310 g.

The power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, and the setting key cylinder is set from the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a). After the first ON operation is performed by rotating the pachinko machine 60 degrees in the clockwise direction, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, so that the main control side power-on processing, which is this routine, is started again. In the determination in step S18 described above, the main control MPU determines that the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame release switch 4b, and sets by the signal of the setting key ON. By determining that the setting key 1311a is ON, it is determined that the predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied, and in step S20A described above, the setting change permission flag CS-FLG has a value of 1. In the determination in step S25 described above, it is determined that the setting change permission flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, that is, it is determined that the setting change of the setting value is permitted, and the setting change in step S37 described later is performed. Following the process, in the process of step S38 described later, the RAM error can be cleared and the game can proceed by clearing all the areas of the main control built-in RAM except for the specific area (the RAM error is cleared). Hereinafter, it will be described as "first RAM error canceling method").

As a method different from the first RAM error canceling method, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off, and the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch. The main control side power-on processing is started. The main control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch is being operated in the determination in step S14 described above, and sets the value 1 in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S16A described above. In the determination of S26, it is determined that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1, that is, it is determined that various information is to be erased, and in the process of step S38 described later, a specific area is excluded from the entire area of the main control built-in RAM. By clearing the game, the RAM error can be cleared and the game can proceed (hereinafter, referred to as "second RAM error clearing method").

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the main control MPU determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match in the determination in step S30, or in the determination in step S32, the main control MPU determines. When the backup flag BK-FLG is not a value 1 (value 0), that is, when it is determined that the main control side power off processing has not been completed normally, the error display in step S33 is performed and the main control built-in RAM is displayed. When telling that the contents stored in the are abnormal (or unreliable), there are two cancellation methods, a first RAM error cancellation method and a second RAM error cancellation method. Can be done by. As a result, when it is not necessary to change the setting of the set value at all, the RAM error can be canceled by performing the second RAM error canceling method using the RAM clear switch.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S32, when the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that the main control side power off processing has been normally completed, the main control MPU has a built-in main control as a power recovery time. The work area of the RAM is set (step S34). This setting reads the power recovery information from the ROM (that is, the main control built-in ROM) built in the main control MPU, and sets the power recovery information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. As a result, various information is read from the game backup information, and various commands corresponding to the various information are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Further, the main control MPU advances the game based on the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. In addition to the state where the power is turned on from the state where the power is cut off, the "reset" is the state where the power is restored after the power failure or momentary power failure, and the fraudulent means (for example, the cheating person is on the hem of the arm). The state in which the main control board 1310 is irradiated with the high frequency from the hidden high frequency output device), the main control MPU itself is reset, and then returned is also included.

Following step S34, the main control MPU sets the backup flag BK-FLG to a value of 0 (step S36). As a result, various information, checksum value (sum value), etc. are changed by performing various subsequent processes. Therefore, the backup flag BK- is normally terminated when the main control side power is turned off, which will be described later. If the value 1 is not set in the FLG, as will be described later, all the areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area are cleared.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S25, the main control MPU performs the setting change process when the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when the setting change of the setting value is permitted. (Step S37). The detailed description of this setting change process will be described later, but each time the pressing operation unit of the setting switching button of the setting changing board 1311 is pressed based on the detection signal from the setting switching button of the setting changing board 1311. , The set value is changed and displayed on the setting display 1310g, and the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a is operated from the first ON operation to the second ON operation, so that the signal of the decision key ON from the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. The changed setting value is determined based on the above, and is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM built in the main control MPU.

In the process of step S37 or the determination of step S26, when the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when it is determined to erase various information, the main control built-in RAM Clear all areas except for a specific area (step S38). Here, the main control MPU is performed by writing a value 0 to a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM (an area of the total area of the main control built-in RAM excluding a specific area). In the present embodiment, when the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when it is determined to erase various information, and when the setting change process is completed, the main control built-in RAM is always used. Except for a specific area among all the areas of the above (a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM (an area excluding the specific area of the total area of the main control built-in RAM)) is cleared. Here, the "specific area" is an area dedicated to the set value in which the set value is stored, and an out port 2010, a first sub-out port 2011, and a second sub-out port provided in the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5. It is composed of an out-ball counting dedicated area in which the counting result (total number) of the number of game balls collected by 2012 is stored. The set value dedicated area stores the set value whose setting is changed in the setting change process described later, and the out ball counting dedicated area is the out port 2010, the first sub out port 2011 and the first sub out port 2011 counted in the ball number counting process described later. The counting result (total number) of the number of game balls collected by the two sub-out ports 2012 is stored.

The main control MPU may read a predetermined value from the main control built-in ROM as an initial value and set it. In the main control MPU, the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch indicates RAM clear, and when erasing various information, when the sum values do not match, or when the main control side power supply When the disconnection process is not completed normally, a counter that retrieves a unique ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM of the main control MPU and updates the random number for normal symbol hit determination based on the retrieved ID code. Initial value derivation processing that always derives the same fixed value from the fixed numerical value range of is performed, and this fixed value is used to determine the initial value of the above-mentioned normal symbol hit judgment random number. Set to a random number.

Following step S38, the main control MPU sets the work area of the main control built-in RAM as an initial setting (step S40). This setting is performed by reading the initial information from the main control built-in ROM and setting this initial information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. As a result, the game backup information is initialized, and for example, the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter is set (set) to the initial value 0. Further, the main control MPU advances the game based on the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM.

Following step S36 or step S40, the main control MPU sets the initial value and the start setting of the main control built-in WDT (step S41). Here, the watchdog timer control register built in the main control MPU to set the initial value in the main control built-in WDT that monitors whether the operation (system) of the main control MPU is operating normally (hereinafter, "" The timer setting value is set in the WDT control register) to start the main control built-in WDT and start the time counting until the main control MPU is reset. When the main control built-in WDT is activated, the time counting by the main control built-in WDT is started, and the watchdog timer clear register built in the main control MPU (by the time when the timed time reaches the time set by the timer set value) ( Hereinafter, if the timer clear setting value is not set in the "WDT clear register"), the main control MPU is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. On the other hand, when the WDT with built-in main control is activated and the time is started, if the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register before the time is reached by the time set by the timer setting value, The timekeeping by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the timekeeping is started again. In this way, the operation (system) of the main control MPU operates normally by repeating the process of clearing the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT until the time set by the timer set value is reached and starting the time measurement again. It is possible to monitor whether or not it is.

Following step S41, the main control MPU performs interrupt initial setting (step S42). This setting sets the interrupt cycle when the main control side timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 4 milliseconds (ms).

Following step S42, the main control MPU performs serial communication initial setting (step S44). Here, various serial input / output ports built into the main control MPU (for example, serial input / output ports (reception channel and transmission channel) for the payout control board 633, serial input / output ports (reception channel and transmission channel) for the peripheral control board 1510). ), The communication speed is set and the presence or absence of parity is set in the transmission serial port prescaler, and the initialization of the transmission circuit and the transmission permission are set in the transmission serial port control register.

Following step S44, the main control MPU sets the test signal output port initialization (step S46). Here, in the testing institution of the game machine, a test signal output port (not shown) for outputting various inspection information is initialized (set to OFF data output) when the power is turned on.

Following step S46, the main control MPU sets the activation of the main control built-in hard random number circuit (step S48). Here, among various random numbers related to the game, a special random number used for determining whether or not to generate a big hit game state is input to the hard random number control register built in the main control MPU in order to be updated by the hardware. In addition to making settings such as latching and acquiring, the start of the main control built-in hard random number circuit is set in the hard random number setting register. When the main control built-in hard random number circuit is activated by these settings, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU without duplication, and are predetermined. After extracting all the values in the numerical range, the one value in the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and the numerical range predetermined at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU. The other values in the are extracted one after another without duplication. When the main control MPU acquires a random number (random number value) from the main control built-in hard random number circuit, it outputs a latch signal to the main control built-in hard random number circuit, and the main control built-in hardware when this latch signal is input. The random number (random number value) extracted by the random number circuit is acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU. The main control MPU sets the acquired random number value as a special random number.

Following step S48, the main control MPU sets a reservation for a command to be transmitted when the power is turned on (step S50). Here, in order to notify that the power has been turned on (recovered) based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, the power is turned on. Creates a power-on state command, a power-on main control return destination command, and a power-on main prize ball count information output judgment counter notification command as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Remember in. In the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, various information may be read from the game backup information and various commands corresponding to the various information may be stored. is there. In such a case, first, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information is completed among various information, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information The output judgment counter notification command will be sent. These commands are transmitted in the timer interrupt processing on the main control side, which will be described later. A detailed description of the fact that the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is set in step S50 will be described later.

Following step S50, the main control MPU sets interrupt enable setting (step S52). With this setting, the interrupt cycle set in step S42, that is, the main control side timer interrupt process described later is repeatedly performed every 4 ms.

Following step S52, the main control MPU determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S54). When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, or a power failure or momentary power failure occurs, as described above, when the voltage falls below the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit to the main control MPU as a power failure warning. To. The determination in step S54 is performed based on this power failure warning signal.

In the determination in step S54, when it is determined that there is no input of the power failure warning signal, the main control MPU performs the non-winning random number update process (step S56). In this non-winning random number update process, the above-mentioned random number for reach determination, random number for variable display pattern, random number for determining initial value for big hit symbol, random number for determining initial value for small hit symbol, and the like are updated. In this way, in the non-winning random number update process, the random numbers that are not related to the winning determination (big hit determination) are updated by the software. The above-mentioned random numbers for determining normal symbol hits, random numbers for determining initial values for determining normal symbol hits, random numbers for ordinary symbol variation display patterns, and the like are also updated by this non-winning random number update process.

Following step S56, the process returns to step S54 again, and the main control MPU determines whether or not there is a power failure warning signal input. If this power failure warning signal is not input, the non-winning random number update process is performed in step S56. Then, steps S54 to S56 are repeated. The processes of steps S54 to S56 are referred to as "main control side main process".

On the other hand, in the determination in step S54, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal has been input, the main control MPU sets the interrupt prohibition setting (step S58). This setting prevents the main control side timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, from being performed, prevents writing to the main control built-in RAM, and protects the rewriting of various information including the game information and other information described above.

Following step S58, the main control MPU starts outputting a power failure clear signal (step S60). Here, the same process as the process of starting the output of the power failure clear signal in the power failure clear process of step S12 is performed.

Following step S60, the main control MPU outputs drive signals to, for example, various indicators of the function display unit 1400, a start port solenoid 2415, a first attacker solenoid 2418, a second attacker solenoid 2612, a base monitor, and the like. Stop (step S62).

Following step S62, the main control MPU calculates the checksum and stores the calculated value (step S64). This checksum calculates the total of the game information of the work area of the main control built-in RAM, excluding the storage area of the checksum value (sum value) and the backup flag BK-FLG value described above, as numerical values.

Following step S64, the main control MPU sets the backup flag BK-FLG to a value of 1 (step S66). As a result, the storage of the game backup information is completed.

Following step S66, the main control MPU sets RAM access prohibition (step S68). This RAM access prohibition setting makes it impossible to access the main control built-in RAM, so that it is possible to prevent the contents of the main control built-in RAM from being updated.

Following step S68, an infinite loop is entered. In this infinite loop, the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU for the main control built-in WDT started in step S41, the time counting by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the time counting is started again. The main control MPU is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT because it cannot be made to do so. After that, the main control MPU performs the main control side power-on processing again. The processing of steps S58 to S68 and the infinite loop are referred to as "main control side power off processing".

As described above, the main control MPU is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit when it is affected by electrical noise. In this case, the main control MPU cannot perform the determination in step S54, and cannot perform the main control side power cutoff process. Therefore, when the main control MPU is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit, it is reset without executing the main control side power off processing, and the main control side power on processing is executed again. .. In other words, because the main control side power off processing is not executed, the checksum value (sum value) in the main control side power off processing based on immediately before the forced reset by the built-in reset circuit is not stored, so the previous time The checksum value (sum value) stored by executing the main control side power off processing when the power is cut off, and the checksum calculated in step S28 when the system is restarted after being forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit. The value (sum value) cannot match, and a checksum (sum value) error of the main control built-in RAM always occurs, and in the process of step S38, all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area are excluded. It will be completely erased (cleared).

The pachinko machine 1 (main control MPU) is reset when there is a power failure or when there is a momentary power failure, and when the power is restored thereafter, the main control side power-on processing is performed.

In step S30, it is inspected whether or not the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM is normal, and then in step S32, whether or not the main control side power off processing is normally completed. Is inspecting. In this way, by double-checking the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM, it is inspected whether or not the game backup information is stored by fraudulent activity.

Further, in the determination in step S25, when the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when the setting change of the set value is permitted, the setting change process of step S37 is performed. In the process of step S38, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is completely erased (cleared) except for a specific area, and in the determination of step S26, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1). At that time, that is, when it is determined that various information is to be erased, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is completely erased (cleared) except for a specific area in the process of step S38. In this way, when the pressing operation unit is operated at the time of power recovery (to be exact, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch), the set value is changed and determined. When the setting is changed (when the main control MPU performs the setting change processing), the main control MPU always clears a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM. This is because when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch is pressed, for example, when the game hall is closed, the pachinko machine 1 is in an advantageous state for the player (for example, per probability fluctuation (probability change)). In the case of (such as), it is necessary to erase (clear) the above-mentioned game backup information before the next business start, so the staff such as the clerk of the game hall presses the RAM clear switch. It is necessary to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the operation unit. In addition, when the setting value is decided to be changed, if the setting change processing is performed (even if the current setting value is maintained as a result, the setting value before the setting change processing is performed is obtained. It is necessary to erase (clear) the game backup information including various information such as the game information from the main control built-in RAM. As described above, the setting key is currently set in addition to changing the set value. Since it is an important key that allows confirmation of the set value, possession is permitted only to a limited number of people including the manager of the game hall, and is limited to 2 to 3 people. In this embodiment, the set value is set. Even if the change is not decided, that is, even if there is no setting key possessed only by a limited specific person, the staff such as the clerk of the game hall needs to erase (clear) the game backup information in the RAM. By turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of the clear switch, the game backup information can be erased (cleared) from the main control built-in RAM.

Here, a point will be described in which the presence / absence of the power failure warning signal in step S24 is determined following the wait time standby process in step S22. First, regarding the problem in the case where the presence / absence of the power failure warning signal in step S24 is not determined, that is, the case where the value of the RAM clear flag in step S26 is determined after the wait time standby process in step S22 and the subsequent processing is proceeded. The problem in is explained.

As described above, the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU, receives the electric charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 when the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off due to a power failure or a momentary power failure. It is applied as + 5V over a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after the occurrence of a power failure or momentary power failure. That is, even if the power supply from the island equipment of the game hall is cut off due to a momentary power failure or a power failure, the electric charge charged to the hardware called the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as + 5V, so that the island equipment of the game hall It is possible to complete the power cutoff process on the main control side within a period of about 7 ms after the power is cut off from the main control side. This is because a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs when the player is playing a game, that is, when the main control side main process or the main control side timer interrupt process described later is performed, and the island equipment of the game hall When the power supply from the main control side is cut off, the main control side power supply cutoff process can be reliably completed.

However, as an extremely rare phenomenon, in the wait time standby process in step S22 at the time of power recovery, the waiting time until the system that controls the drawing of the peripheral control board 1510 starts (boots) (boot timer: in the present embodiment). (2.5 seconds is set.) Is started, and if a momentary power failure or power failure occurs just before the standby time is reached, hardware called an electrolytic capacitor MC2 is connected to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU. Although the charge charged in is applied as + 5V, the interrupt initial setting is performed in step S42 within a period of about 7 ms, and then the interrupt permission setting is performed in step S52, so that the main control side timer described later is performed. Even if the interrupt processing is performed and the contents of the main control built-in RAM are updated, the main control side power off processing in the main control side power on processing may not be completed. Therefore, the value obtained by calculating the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM is not stored, and the main control side power-on processing is started again at the time of power recovery.

Then, at the time of this power recovery, the main control side power-on processing is started, the wait time standby processing in step S22 is completed without causing a momentary power failure or a power failure, and then in step S28, the main control built-in RAM When the value calculated based on the contents of the above and the value stored in the main control built-in RAM immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs are compared and judged in step S30, the checksum values should match. Instead, in step S38, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is cleared except for a specific area. In other words, the RAM clear switch is forcibly stored in the main control built-in RAM even if the RAM clear switch is operated by a staff member such as a game hall clerk at the time of power recovery and there is no manifestation of intention by a staff member such as a game hall clerk to clear RAM. There is a problem that the above-mentioned game backup information is deleted (cleared).

Therefore, in the present embodiment, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, a process for determining whether or not a power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is input, The determination in step S24 is returned again, and the determination in step S24 is repeated as long as the power failure warning signal is continuously input. As a result, it is not possible to proceed with the game. Although the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set in step S16A or step S16B before the wait time standby process of step S22 is performed, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is mainly as described above. Since it is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the control MPU, the contents (game information) of the main control built-in RAM are not changed at all even if the RAM access permission is set in step S10.

In this way, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, a process for determining whether or not a power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is input (that is, step). When it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off after waiting in the wait time standby process in S22), the determination in step S24 is returned again, and as long as the power failure warning signal continues to be input. By repeating the determination in step S24, the game cannot be progressed, and various information including game information and other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter). Can be prevented from being updated, and the check sum calculation result does not fluctuate. As a result, when the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is restarted, it is determined that the calculation result of the checksum in step S28 and the calculated and stored value of the checksum in step S64 match. Therefore, the game information immediately before the occurrence of a momentary power failure or a power failure stored in the main control built-in RAM is not initialized. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game information immediately before the occurrence of a momentary power failure or a power failure from being initialized at the time of power recovery.

Immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, a process for determining whether or not a power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is not input (that is, in step S22). When it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is not cut off after waiting in the wait time standby process), the pachinko machine is being played while the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is proceeding with the game. Even if the power to 1 is cut off, the power is supplied to the VDD terminal, which is the power terminal of the main control MPU, by the electrolytic capacitor MC2, so that the game information and other information (for example, the number of main prize balls) due to the progress of this game The main control board performs the processes of steps S58 to S68, which are backup processes for storing various information including information indicating the value of the information output determination counter, and the main control side power failure process composed of an infinite loop. Since the main control MPU of 1310 can be completed, when the main control MPU of the main control MPU is restarted, the checksum calculation result in step S28 and the checksum calculation in the backup process are performed. Since it is determined that the result (that is, the value calculated and stored in the checksum of step S64) matches, the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure that is stored in the main control built-in RAM is stored. Never initializes. That is, the main control board 1310 can be started by being restored to the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs.

Further, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, when it is determined in step S24 that a power failure warning signal is input, the main control built-in WDT forcibly resets the main control MPU to contents the main control built-in RAM. While the main control side power off processing can be started again without updating at all, when it is determined in step S24 that the power failure warning signal has not been input immediately after the wait time standby processing in step S22, so far. As you can see, it is possible to reliably complete the power cutoff process on the main control side within the "power supply securing period during a momentary power failure or power failure" of about 7 ms by the hardware. That is, in the present embodiment, the power supply from the island equipment of the game hall is cut off due to a momentary power failure or a power failure during the processing when the main control side power is turned on at the time of power recovery, and the main control The charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the MPU, as + 5V for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after the power failure or momentary power failure occurs. Therefore, if the main control side power failure processing cannot be completed within the "instantaneous power failure or power supply securing period" of about 7 ms by the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2, the step immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22. It is determined in S24 whether or not the power failure warning signal is input, and when the power failure warning signal is input, the determination in step S24 is returned again, and as long as the power failure warning signal is continuously input, the determination in step S24 is performed. By repeating the game, the game cannot be advanced.

By making it impossible for the game to proceed by such software, the steps after step S24 (specifically, the interrupt initial setting is performed in step S42, and then the interrupt is enabled in step S52. The contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, main prize ball number information output determination) are determined by blocking the progress to the main control side timer interrupt process which is set and described later. We have adopted a mechanism that can prevent various information) including information indicating the value of the counter for use) from being updated. When the power supply from the island equipment of the game hall is cut off due to a power failure or a momentary power failure in this way, the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, main prize ball number information output determination)) Various information including information indicating the value of the counter for) is covered by software so that it is not changed at all, and the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and game information) by surely completing the main control side power outage processing. By dividing it into two parts, one is covered by hardware so that other information (for example, various information including the value of the main prize ball number information output judgment counter) is not changed at all. , The contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information, and various information including other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter)) are surely prevented from being changed. Can be done.

Next, the point that the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is set in step S50 will be described. In step S50, as described above, in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, the power is turned on (recovered) based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. In order to convey, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information output judgment counter notification command are created and the main control is built in as transmission information. It is stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM. This power-on main control return destination command is mainly composed of information indicating the drive state of the start port solenoid 2415 and information indicating the drive state of the first attacker solenoid 2418 and the second attacker solenoid 2612. .. Here, first, the main control return destination command when the power is turned on includes information instructing the drive state of the start port solenoid 2415 and information instructing the drive state of the first attacker solenoid 2418 and the second attacker solenoid 2612. The problem in the case where the power is not set, that is, the problem in the case where the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power-on main control return destination command is not performed in step S50 will be described.

For example, when the peripheral control board 1510 controls the display of the big hit game state screen (for example, the big hit game effect screen) in the display area of the effect display device 1600, the main control board 1310 drives the first attacker solenoid 2418. Then, when the first prize opening 2005 is opened by the opening / closing member or when the second attacker solenoid 2612 is driven and the second winning opening 2006 is opened by the opening / closing member, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the main control board 1310 momentarily shuts down or loses power based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. By restoring the game state immediately before the occurrence of the above, the first attacker solenoid 2418 is started to be driven, the first prize opening 2005 is closed by the opening / closing member, and the second attacker solenoid 2612 is driven. The second grand prize opening 2006 will shift from the state of being closed by the opening / closing member to the state of being opened.

However, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs, the peripheral control board 1510 receives various commands from the main control board 1310 and recovers when the power is restored, so that a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the probability and the time saving state indicated by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power restoration. However, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs while the main control board 1310 is generating a big hit gaming state as a gaming state, and then power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 will be subjected to the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery. Even if the screen can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and returned according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state indicated by the power-on state command received from, the jackpot game state. It is not possible to display at all which round of the throat. That is, for example, a game ball enters the first large winning opening 2005, is detected by the first large winning opening sensor 2402, and one count of the large winning openings telling the number of the game balls entered in the first large winning opening 2005. Even if the main control board 1310 transmits a display command to the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral control board 1510 receives the display command, the peripheral control board 1510 enters the first prize opening 2005 on the screen according to the probability and the time saving state. Even if the number of balls of the game ball can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600, it is not possible to display at all which round (that is, the number of rounds) of the jackpot game state.

In such a situation, for example, when the main control board 1310 finishes the 4th round (4th round) of the big hit game state, the driving of the 1st attacker solenoid 2418 is stopped and the 1st big winning opening 2005 is opened and closed. Mainly the big winning opening 1 closing display command instructing to shift from the open state to the closed state (that is, the closing start of the first big winning opening 2005 of the first attacker unit 2400). When transmission is transmitted from the control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 and the main control board 1310 starts the fifth round (fifth round) of the jackpot game state, the first attacker solenoid 2418 is started to be driven and the first big winning opening. A command to display the 5th opening of the large winning opening, which indicates that the 2005 is changed from the closed state to the open state by the opening / closing member (that is, the opening of the 5th round of the 1st big winning opening 2005) is issued. Transmission is performed from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510. As a result, the peripheral control board 1510 finally switches the screen of starting 5 rounds of the jackpot game state from the screen according to the above-mentioned probability and time saving state and displays it in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

Further, for example, a screen for notifying the player that the game ball is in a game state in which the game ball can be accepted and the game state is advantageous to the player (for example, the player indicates that the movable piece is open) to the second start port 2004. When the peripheral control board 1510 controls the display in the display area of the effect display device 1600, the main control board 1310 drives the start port solenoid 2415 to open the movable piece to open the second start port. When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs when the 2004 is open, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310 is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. Based on the power recovery information set in the work area, the start port solenoid 2415 is started to be driven and the movable piece is closed by restoring the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs. (Ii) The start port 2004 will be closed.

However, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs, the peripheral control board 1510 receives various commands from the main control board 1310 and recovers when the power is restored, so that a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power restoration. However, when the main control board 1310 is in a gaming state in which the gaming ball can be accepted into the second starting port 2004 and is generating a gaming state advantageous to the player, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 displays the screen according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state indicated by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery. Even if it can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and returned, the game state is such that the game ball can be accepted into the second starting port 2004, and the game state is advantageous to the player. The peripheral control board 1510 cannot display the screen to be transmitted in the display area of the effect display device 1600 at all. For this reason, the player seated in front of the pachinko machine is surprised that a momentary power failure or power failure has occurred, and the game ball is received at the second starting port 2004 immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs at the time of power restoration. In some cases, it may be forgotten that the gaming state is possible, and in such a case, the gaming state is returned to the gaming state in which the gaming ball can be accepted to the second starting port 2004 as the gaming state at the time of power recovery. Nevertheless, the game is not displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 at the time of power recovery (that is, the screen instructing the game to put the game ball into the second starting port 2004). There was also the problem of not knowing what kind of game a person would play.

As described above, in the above-mentioned two examples, there is a problem that the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or the power failure cannot be quickly restored after the power is restored. In other words, a player sitting in front of a pachinko machine misunderstands that the pachinko machine's system seems to be in a frozen state and has failed when a momentary power failure or power outage occurs and then the power is restored. There was a problem.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure), a power-on state command is used. And the main control return destination command at power-on are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. In step S50, the power-on state command classified into power-on, the main control return destination command at power-on, and the power-on A counter notification command for determining the output of the main prize ball number information is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Then, these commands are transmitted in the main control side timer interrupt processing described later.

As a result, the peripheral control board 1510 is based on the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command received from the main control board 1310, for example, in the above-mentioned example, in the four rounds of the jackpot gaming state. When a momentary power failure or power failure occurs and then the power is restored, the drive of the first attacker solenoid 2418 is started as the return destination of the main control board 1310, and the first prize opening 2005 is closed by the opening / closing member. Since it is possible to notify the peripheral control board 1510 that the state shifts to the open state, the peripheral control board 1510 is a screen (that is, how many rounds) that specifies that it is the 4th round of the jackpot game state. Although the screen showing) cannot be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600, the first big winning opening 2005 is opened by the opening / closing member by starting the driving of the first attacker solenoid 2418 in the big hit game state. A screen telling the player that he / she is in a state (for example, "It is a big hit. The big winning opening is open. Please play the game so that the game ball enters the big winning opening." The screen) is displayed in the display area of the production display device 1600, and the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine can be instructed to enter the game ball into the first prize opening 2005 after the power is restored. For example, in the above-described example, in a state in which the game ball can be accepted into the second starting port 2004 and the game state is favorable to the player, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and then A screen telling that the drive of the start port solenoid 2415 is started to open the movable piece and the second start port 2004 is opened as the return destination of the main control board 1310. For example, the peripheral control board 1510 displays the effect display device 1600 on a screen that conveys a message to the player, "The movable piece is open. Please play the game so that the game ball enters the second starting port." It is possible to instruct a player who is displayed in the display area and sits on the front surface of the pachinko machine to enter the game ball into the second starting port 2004 after the power is restored.

As a result, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs and the power is restored after that, the return destination of the peripheral control board 1510 can be finely instructed on the main control board 1310 side. Therefore, it is possible to quickly return to the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure after the power is restored. In other words, a player who sits in front of a pachinko machine misunderstands that the pachinko machine's system seems to be in a frozen state and has failed when a momentary power failure or power outage occurs and then the power is restored. Can be prevented.

Next, in the main control board inspection step, which is the inspection step of the production line of the main control board 1310, the checksum of step S28 when the main control board 1310 is first turned on after being manufactured for inspection. The calculation and the determination in step S30 will be described. In the main control board inspection step, when the main control board 1310 is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, the main control board is composed of the above-mentioned backup processes of steps S58 to S68 and an infinite loop. Since the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has never executed the control side power off processing, even if the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM is calculated in step S28, in step S30. In the comparison determination, the checksum values cannot match, and in step S38, all the areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area are always cleared.

As a result, when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at the time of power-on is made in step S50, the power-on state command classified into power-on, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information By creating an output judgment counter notification command and storing it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball Only three commands, the counter notification command for determining the number information output, are stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Then, in these commands, in the main control side timer interrupt processing described later, the power-on state command is first transmitted, then the power-on main control return destination command is transmitted, and then the number of main prize balls at power-on. The information output judgment counter notification command is sent. Utilizing this, in the main control board inspection process, when the main control board 1310 is first powered on after being manufactured for inspection, the power-on state command is issued as the first command from the main control board 1310. It will be transmitted to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process.

By the way, the power-on state command is used when the power is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure), the RAM clear switch is operated and the RAM is executed. Information instructing that when clearing, and the above-mentioned low when the power is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure). Information indicating which of the probabilistic time-saving state, high-probability time-saving state, low-probability non-time-saving state, and high-probability non-time-saving state (probability and time-saving state) is to be restored, and the model code of the pachinko machine are shown. It consists of information and. Here, a problem will be described when the power-on state command does not include information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine.

The model code of the pachinko machine is the copyright of which work when creating the so-called max type, middle type, and amadeji type as pachinko machine 1 (to be exact, main control board 1310). In addition to the game specifications (for example, when a probability fluctuation occurs, the state is continued until the next big hit game state occurs), the number of times the special symbol changes is limited (for example, 30 times or 70 times). It is possible to specify whether or not the game specification (so-called ST machine), etc., in which the probability fluctuation occurs in the state of)).

In the production line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured, the main control board 1310 for the copyright of a plurality of types of works may coexist. Then, the worker of the production line is responsible for the copyright of any of the copyrights of the multiple types of works (for example, the copyrights of the works A, movie B, drama C, movie D, cartoon E, and cartoon F). It is difficult to know whether the main control board 1310 is flowing to the production line in order to manufacture the control board 1310, or the main control board for one copyright (for example, the copyright of the work called movie D) among the copyrights of multiple types of works. Although the main control board 1310 is flowing to the production line to manufacture the 1310, the main control board 1310 is used to manufacture the main control board 1310 for other copyrights (for example, the copyright of the work called Manga F). There are also beliefs and misunderstandings that it is flowing to the production line.

For this reason, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control board 1310 for the copyrights of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the worker of the manufacturing line can move to the manufacturing line. It is not possible to confirm which work the manufactured main control board 1310 is for the copyright of which work, and for the copyright of the same work, any model type (max type, middle type, or Amadeji type). It is also not possible to confirm whether it is a type) and what kind of game specification (a game specification or ST machine that, when a probability fluctuation occurs, the state is continued until the next big hit game state occurs).

As a result, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured on the production line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control board 1310 for the copyrights of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the main control board for the copyrights of a plurality of types of works The 1310s are sent to the game board assembly line for attaching the main control board 1310 to the game board 5 while being mixed. Therefore, the operator of the game board assembly line may attach the main control board 1310, which does not correspond to the game board 5 for the copyright of the work, to the game board 5. As a result, there is a problem that the production efficiency of the game board 5 is lowered.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the model code of the pachinko machine is used when the main control board 1310 is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure). In order to transmit the power-on state command including the information indicating the above to the peripheral control board 1510, in step S50, the power-on state command classified into power-on, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on A counter notification command for determining the output of the main prize ball number information is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Then, these commands are transmitted in the main control side timer interrupt processing described later.

As a result, the workers on the production line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1 turn on the main control board 1310 in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the production line, so that the inspection device can perform the main control board 1310. Based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine included in the power-on state command received from, that is, the above-mentioned max type, middle type, indicating the model type, which constitutes the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine. And the series code for specifying which type of Amadeji type, the copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and the game specifications (for example, when the probability fluctuates, the next big hit game state In addition to the game specification that the state is continued until it occurs, the game specification code for specifying the game specification (ST machine) that the probability fluctuation occurs when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is limited, and the game specification code. By visually observing the detailed model information displayed on the inspection monitor based on the above, it is possible to determine which work the main control board 1310 is for the copyright of which work, and which of the same work is for the copyright. What type of machine (max type, middle type, and Amadeji type) and what kind of game specifications (when probability fluctuations occur, that state will continue until the next big hit game state occurs. It is also possible to determine whether it is a game specification or ST machine).

As a result, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, even if the main control board 1310 for the copyright of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the main control board inspection step of the manufacturing line By visually observing the inspection monitor and accurately determining the model type of the main control board 1310, the copyright of the work, and the game specifications, the worker can sort each of the main control boards 1310 for the copyright of the work and succeed. It can be sent to the game board assembly line. Then, the worker of the game board assembly line can surely attach the main control board 1310 corresponding to the game board 5 to the copyright of the work to the game board 5, and the main control board not corresponding to the game board 5 to the copyright of the work. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the production efficiency of the game board 5 caused by the work of attaching the 1310 to the game board 5. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of the production efficiency of the game board 5.

[13-4. Main control side timer interrupt processing]
Next, the timer interrupt processing on the main control side will be described. This main control side timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (4 ms in this embodiment) set in the main control side power-on time process shown in FIGS. 228 and 229.

When the main control side timer interrupt process is started, the main control MPU switches the register bank as shown in FIG. 230 (step S100). The general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU has two register banks composed of a first register bank and a second register bank. The first register bank is used in the main control main processing in the main control side power-on processing described above, while the second register bank is used in the main control side timer interrupt processing which is this routine. In step S100, since the second register bank is used in the main control side timer interrupt process which is the main control side, the second register bank from the first register bank used in the main control main process in the main control side power-on processing. Switch the register bank to the register tank of. In the present embodiment, when the main control side timer interrupt process, which is the routine, is started, it is not necessary to save each register on the stack.

Following step S100, the main control MPU performs timer subtraction processing (step S102). In this timer subtraction process, for example, the time during which the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 are lit according to the fluctuation display pattern determined by the special symbol and the special electric accessory control process described later. In addition to the time when the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 lights up according to the normal symbol variation display pattern determined by the normal symbol and the normal electric accessory control process described later, the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) transmits. When determining whether or not a payer ACK signal indicating that the payout control board 633 has normally received various commands has been input, time management such as the ACK signal input determination time set as the determination condition is performed. .. Specifically, when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is 5 seconds, the timer interrupt cycle is set to 4 ms, so that the fluctuation time is subtracted by 4 ms each time the timer subtraction process is performed. Then, when the subtraction result becomes a value of 0, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is accurately measured.

In the present embodiment, the ACK signal input determination time is set to 100 ms. Each time this timer subtraction process is performed, the ACK signal input determination time is subtracted by 4 ms, and the subtraction result becomes a value of 0, so that the ACK signal input determination time is accurately measured. These various times and the ACK signal input determination time are stored in the time management information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as time management information.

Following step S102, the main control MPU performs a switch input process (step S104). In this switch input process, various signals input to the input terminals of various input ports of the main control MPU are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Specifically, the main control MPU is, for example, a detection signal from the gate sensor 2801, a detection signal from the general winning port sensor 3051, a detection signal from the first start port sensor 3052, and a detection from the second start port sensor 2401. Signal, detection signal from first prize opening sensor 2402, detection signal from second prize opening sensor 2601, detection signal from out port sensor 3053, first sub out port sensor 2403, and second sub out port sensor 3054, Detection signal from magnetic sensors 1111, 2404, 2602, 3055, operation signal from RAM clear switch (RAM clear signal), detection signal from door frame open switch, detection signal from main body frame open switch 4b, setting key switch 1311a Reads the signal from, the signal from the setting switching button, and the payer ACK signal from the payout control board 633 that the payout control board 633 normally receives the prize ball command transmitted in the prize ball control process described later. , The input information is stored in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Further, when the detection signal from the first start port sensor 3052 and the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2401 are read, the start port winning command corresponding to the other is used as transmission information in the main control built-in RAM. Store in the transmission information storage area. That is, when there is a detection signal from the first start port sensor 3052, the corresponding start port winning command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and from the second start port sensor 2401. When there is a detection signal of, the corresponding start opening winning command is stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information.

In this embodiment, when all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU are input (including those that have been subjected to empty terminal processing), this switch input processing is started. First, each is read as the first time, and after a predetermined time (for example, 10 μs) has elapsed, each is read again as the second time. Then, the result read for the second time and the result read for the first time are compared. It is determined whether or not any of the comparison results has the same result. If the result is not the same, it is read again as the third time, and the result read in the third time is compared with the result read in the second time. It is determined again whether or not any of the comparison results has the same result. If the result is not the same, it is read again as the fourth time, and the result read at the fourth time is compared with the result read at the third time. It is determined again whether or not any of the comparison results has the same result. If the result is the same, it is treated as if there is no entry of the game ball or if the input is ignored.

In this way, in the switch input processing, the state of being input to all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU (including the one to which the empty terminal processing is performed) is set for the first to third times. It is possible to avoid erroneous detection due to the influence of chattering, noise, etc. by performing a total of two readings, one for comparing twice and the other for comparing twice to four times. Because it is possible, the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801, the detection signal from the general winning port sensor 3051, the detection signal from the first start port sensor 3052, the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2401, the first Detection signal from the big winning opening sensor 2402, detection signal from the second big winning opening sensor 2601, out opening sensor 3053, first sub out opening sensor 2403, and detection signal from the second sub out opening sensor 3054, magnetic sensor 1111 Detection signal from 2404, 2602, 3055, operation signal from RAM clear switch (RAM clear signal), detection signal from door frame open switch, detection signal from main body frame open switch 4b, signal from setting key switch 1311a, It is possible to improve the reliability of the payer ACK signal from the payout control board 633 that conveys that the payout control board 633 has normally received the signal from the setting switching button and the prize ball command transmitted in the prize ball control process described later. ..

Following step S104, the main control MPU performs an input terminal defect monitoring process (step S105). In this input terminal defect monitoring process, among the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU, the state of the empty terminal process is performed based on the information acquired in the switch input process in step S104. Specifically, for example, since the input terminal PA7 of the input port PA of the main control MPU is grounded to the ground (GND) as an empty terminal process, the logical state is always LOW. Therefore, in the input terminal defect monitoring process, information acquired in the switch input process in step S104 is performed to determine whether or not the logical state of the input terminal to which the empty terminal process is performed is LOW among the input terminals of various input ports. Do based on. When it is determined that the logical state of the input terminal that has been subjected to empty terminal processing is not LOW, the main control MPU is classified into a notification display that informs that a problem has occurred in the peripheral circuit of the main control MPU. The malfunction command is stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information.

Following step S105, the main control MPU performs a winning random number update process (step S106). In this winning random number update process, the symbol random number described above is updated. Further, in addition to these random numbers, the random number for determining the initial value for the jackpot symbol, which is updated by the non-winning random number update process in step S56 in the main control side power-on processing (main control side main process) shown in FIG. 229, And the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol is also updated. These random numbers for determining the initial value for the big hit symbol and the random numbers for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol are updated in the main control side main process and the main control side timer interrupt process, respectively, to further enhance the randomness. .. On the other hand, since the symbol random number is a random number related to the winning determination (winning determination), each counter counts up only each time the winning random number update process is performed. The above-mentioned random number for determining the hit of the normal symbol and the random number for determining the initial value for determining the hit of the normal symbol are also updated by this winning random number update process.

For example, as described above, the counter that updates the random number for normal symbol hit determination is an initial value update type counter, which is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical value range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and this minimum value. The range from to the maximum value is counted up by adding a value of 1 each time the main control side timer interrupt process is performed. The initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination is counted up toward the maximum value, and then the minimum value is counted up toward the initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination. When the counter finishes counting up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the normal symbol hit judgment random number, the hit judgment initial value determination random number is updated by this winning random number update process. The normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number can be obtained by executing an initial value lottery process in which one value is drawn from the fixed numerical value range of the counter that updates the normal symbol hit determination random number.

In the present embodiment, the random number for determining the initial value for the big hit symbol and the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol are not used in step S56 in the main control side power-on processing (main control side main process) shown in FIG. 229. The winning random number is updated in the winning random number update processing and the winning random number update processing in step S106 in the main control side timer interrupt processing of this routine, but the processing time of this routine becomes uneven every time the interrupt timer occurs. If the number of executions of the non-winning random number update process in step S56 becomes random by repeatedly executing the main control side main process within the remaining time until the interrupt timer is generated, the random number for determining the initial value for the jackpot symbol , And the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol may be updated only in the non-winning random number update process in step S56.

Following step S106, the main control MPU performs a ball count processing (step S107). In this ball count processing, the input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and the detection signal from the out port sensor 3053 is input based on this input information to the game area 5a which is partitioned on the game board 5. When the out port sensor 3053 detects a game ball collected by the out port 2010, the value 1 is added to the value of the collection ball counter that counts the number of game balls collected by the out port 2010. The game ball collected by the first sub-out port 2011 provided in the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5 by performing the (increment) calculation and inputting the detection signal from the first sub-out port sensor 2403 is first. When the sub-out port sensor 2403 detects it, a value 1 is added (incremented) to the value of the collection ball counter that counts the number of game balls collected by the first sub-out port 2011. (Ii) When the second sub-out port sensor 3054 detects a game ball collected by the second sub-out port 2012 provided in the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5 by inputting the detection signal from the sub-out port sensor 3054. Performs an operation of adding (incrementing) the value 1 to the value of the collection ball counter that counts the number of balls of the game ball collected by the second sub-out port 2012. That is, in the ball number counting process, the out port sensor 3053 detects the game ball collected by the out port 2010, the first sub out port sensor 2403 detects the game ball collected by the first sub out port 2011, and the second (Ii) When the sub-out port sensor 3054 detects a game ball collected by the second sub-out port 2012, a calculation of adding a value 3 to the value of the collection ball counter is performed. The main control MPU mainly controls the value of the collection ball counter, which is the calculation result, as the counting result (total number) of the number of balls of the game balls collected by the out port 2010, the first sub out port 2011, and the second sub out port 2012. It is stored in the out-ball counting dedicated area in the specific area of the built-in RAM, and the output of the lighting signal to be displayed on the base monitor is set and stored in the output information storage area as output information. Further, in the main control MPU, when the value of the collection ball counter is divisible by the value 10, that is, the number of game balls collected at the out port 2010, the first sub-out port 2011, and the second sub-out port 2012 reaches 10. Each time, a ball collection command for notifying that effect is created and stored in the output information storage area as transmission information. In the main control MPU, when the value of the collection ball counter, which is the calculation result, reaches the maximum value (value 65535 in this embodiment) and further adds (increments) the value by 1 to the value of the collection ball counter, the collection ball The value of the counter overflows and becomes a value 0, and the operation of adding from this value 0 is performed.

Following step S107, the main control MPU performs the prize ball control process (step S108). In this prize ball control process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and a prize ball command for paying out a game ball is created based on this input information, or a main control board 1310 and a payout control board 633 are used. Create a self-check command to check the connection status between the boards. Then, the created prize ball command and self-check command are transmitted to the payout control board 633 as main payment serial data. For example, when one game ball enters the first major winning opening 2005, a prize ball command that pays out 15 balls as a prize ball is created, and the number of game balls to be paid out as a prize ball is 10 balls. In order to convey that fact, the output of the main prize ball number information output signal is set, stored as output information in the output information storage area, and the prize ball command is transmitted to the payout control board 633. Self-check to check the connection status between the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 when the payer ACK signal indicating that the payout control board 633 has normally received the prize ball command is not input within the specified time. Create a command and send it to the payout control board 633.

Further, in the prize ball control process of step S108, when the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as prize balls reaches 10 balls based on the input information read from the above-mentioned input information storage area. In order to convey that fact, a main prize ball number information output command, which is classified into other categories, is created and stored in the transmission information storage area as transmission information. The main prize ball number information output command is created based on the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter. The value of the counter for determining the number of main prize balls is based on the input information read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, that is, the general winning opening 2001, the gate unit 2003, and the first Based on a game ball that has entered various winning openings (hereinafter, referred to as "various winning openings provided in the game board 5") such as the first starting port 2002, the second starting port 2004, and the first major winning port 2005. The number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls is counted, and in the prize ball control process in step S108, the memory is updated in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. There is. In the prize ball control process of step S108, the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter stored in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM is read, and the read main prize ball number information output determination counter is read. The input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls is added to the value of, and the value indicating the added number of balls is the value 10. When the number exceeds (that is, when the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls has reached 10), a main prize ball number information output command is created to inform that fact, and as transmission information. It is stored in the output information storage area, and the value indicating the excess number of balls is stored and updated in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter. It has become.

Following step S108, the main control MPU performs frame command reception processing (step S110). The payout control board 633 transmits various 1-byte (8-bit) commands (for example, a frame state 1 command, an error release navigation command, and a frame state 2 command) classified into status displays. In the frame command reception process, when various commands are normally received as payer serial data, information for transmitting that fact to the payout control board 633 is stored as output information in the output information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. In addition, the main control MPU formats the command normally received as the payer serial data into a 2-byte (16-bit) command (various commands classified into status display (frame status 1 command, error release navigation command, etc.). And frame state 2 command)), it is stored in the transmission information storage area described above as transmission information.

Following step S110, the main control MPU performs fraud detection processing (step S112). In this fraud detection process, an abnormal state related to the prize ball is confirmed. When it is determined that a fraudulent act by radio wave irradiation (hereinafter referred to as "radio wave irradiation goto") is being performed, the value of the radio wave irradiation goto counter is added (incremented) by a value of 1. The value of this radio wave goto counter is incremented each time it is determined that radio wave irradiation goto is performed in the fraud detection process, and when the RAM is cleared, the value 0 (zero) is set as the initial value. It has become so. When the value of the radio wave irradiation goto counter reaches the upper limit value (in this embodiment, the value 250 is set as the upper limit value based on 4 ms, which is the interrupt cycle in which the fraud detection process is performed by the timer interrupt process on the main control side. ), Create a radio wave irradiation goto notification command classified into a notification display that informs that the radio wave irradiation goto is being performed, and store it in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area as transmission information.

Further, in the fraud detection process of step S112, when the input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area and the detection signals from the magnetic sensors 1111, 404, 2602, 3055 are input, the fraud detection process using a magnet ( Hereinafter, it is determined that “magnet goto” is performed), and the value of the magnet goto counter is added (incremented) by a value of 1. The value of this magnet goto counter is incremented each time it is determined that radio wave irradiation goto is performed in the fraud detection process, is included in the game backup information, and is initially set when the RAM is cleared. The value 0 (zero) is set as the value. When the value of the magnet goto counter reaches the upper limit value (in this embodiment, the value 250 is set as the upper limit value based on 4 ms, which is the interrupt cycle in which the fraud detection process is performed by the timer interrupt process on the main control side. ), A magnet goto notification command classified into a notification display indicating that the radio wave irradiation goto is being performed is created and stored as transmission information in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area. In the present embodiment, by reliably detecting and notifying the magnet goto by such a mechanism, it is possible to contribute to the ability of the staff such as the clerk of the game hall to find the magnet goto at an early stage. It has become.

Further, in the fraud detection process of step S112, for example, the input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and when the game is not in the big hit game state, the detection is performed from the first big prize opening sensor 2402 or the second big winning opening sensor 2601. When a signal is input (when a game ball enters the first major winning opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006), an abnormal winning of the large winning opening is classified as an abnormal state and is classified as a notification display. A winning abnormality display command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above.

In the fraud detection process of step S112, when the radio wave irradiation goto and / or the magnet goto is detected, the fraud detection flag FD-FLG is set to a value 1 as the detection of the cheating, while the radio wave irradiation goto and the magnet. When the goto is not detected, the value 0 is set in the fraud detection flag FD-FLG as the fraud detection has not been detected. This fraud detection flag FD-FLG is included in the game backup information, and when the RAM is cleared, a value of 0 (zero) is set as an initial value. Further, even when the occurrence of abnormal winning of the large winning opening is detected, a value 1 may be set in the fraud detection flag FD-FLG as the detection of fraudulent activity.

Following step S112, the main control MPU performs a firing permission signal setting process (step S113). In this launch permission signal setting process, the logic of the launch permission signal for notifying the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 to permit the launch of the game ball B is set. Specifically, the main control MPU determines that the fraud detection flag FD-FLG has a value of 0, that is, the fraud has not been detected, based on the value of the fraud detection flag FD-FLG described above. Occasionally, it is set in the launch permission logic as the logic of the launch permission signal and stored in the output information storage area described above as output information, while the fraud detection flag FD-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, fraud. When it is determined that the detection is, the logic of the launch permission signal is set to the launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic) in which the launch permission logic is inverted, and the output information is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area. The main control MPU reads input information from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, a detection signal from the door frame opening switch is input to open the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4. When the door frame open switch detects that the door frame is open, the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b is input and the main body frame open switch 4b detects that the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2. Is set in the launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic) in which the launch permission logic is inverted as the logic of the launch permission signal, and is stored in the output information storage area described above as output information. The logic of the firing permission signal is that, as an initial value (default), the firing permission signal setting process in step S113 in the main control side timer interrupt process, which is this routine after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on (after the power is restored), is performed. It is composed of hardware including a main control output circuit with a reset function so as to be set to a launch stop logic (launch non-permitted logic) in which the launch permission logic is inverted until the start.

Following step S113, the main control MPU performs special symbol and special electric accessory control processing (step S114). In this special symbol and special electric accessory control process, a latch signal is output to the main control built-in hard random number circuit, and the random number (random number value) extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit when the latch signal is input is mainly used. It is acquired from the hard random number latch register built into the control MPU, and the acquired random number value is set as a special random number. Then, it is determined whether or not the special random number (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU) and the jackpot judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM match (big hit). It is determined whether or not to generate a game state (referred to as "special lottery")), and the value of the counter that updates the symbol random number is taken out and stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM according to the big hit type and the small hit type. It is judged (determines the hit type) which of the hit type judgment values is matched.

When these determination results (lottery results) are based on the first start port sensor 3052, various commands related to the special figure 1 synchronization effect are created, while the determination results (lottery results) are the second start port sensor 2401. If this is the case, various commands related to the special figure 2 synchronization effect are created, stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area, and the variation display pattern of the special symbol is determined based on the above-mentioned random number for the variation display pattern. Then, the first special symbol display or the second special symbol of the function display unit 1400 is turned on so as to light the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined variation display pattern of the special symbol. The output of the lighting signal to the display is set and stored in the output information storage area described above as output information. In addition, depending on the game state to be generated, for example, when a big hit game state is reached, various commands classified as big hit related commands (big hit opening command, big winning opening 1 open Nth display command, big winning opening 1 closed display command, big hit opening command, big winning opening 1 closed display command A winning opening 1 count display command, a jackpot ending command, and a jackpot symbol display command) are created and stored in the transmission information storage area as transmission information, or, for example, driving the first attacker solenoid 2418 to open / close the opening / closing member. When the signal output is set and stored as output information in the output information storage area, or when the first prize opening 2005 is opened from the closed state (round) twice, the function display unit 1400 rounds. The output of the lighting signal to the 2-round indicator lamp is set so as to turn on the 2-round indicator lamp of the display, and it is stored in the output information storage area as output information, or when the number of rounds is 15 times, the function display unit 1400 Set the output of the lighting signal to the 15-round indicator lamp so that the 15-round indicator lamp of the round indicator is lit, store it in the output information storage area as output information, and light the presence or absence of time reduction in a predetermined color. The output of the lighting signal to the status indicator of the function display unit 1400 is set and stored in the output information storage area as output information.

Following step S114, the main control MPU performs a normal symbol and a normal electric accessory control process (step S116). In this ordinary symbol and ordinary electric accessory control process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and the ordinary winning opening winning process is performed based on this input information. In this normal winning opening winning process, it is determined from the input information whether or not the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801 has been input to the input terminal of the input port. Based on this judgment result, when the detection signal is input to the input terminal of the input port, the value of the counter that updates the above-mentioned normal symbol hit judgment random number is extracted and the main control is built in as the normal winning opening winning information. It is stored in the normal winning opening winning information storage area of the RAM.

The normal winning opening winning information storage area is provided with the 0th to 3rd sections (4 sections), and the normal winning opening is in the order of the 0th section, the 1st section, the 2nd section, and the 3rd section. Winning information is stored. For example, when the normal winning opening winning information is stored in the 0th to 2nd sections of the normal winning opening winning information storage, when the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801 is input to the input terminal of the input port, the normal winning opening The winning information is stored in the third section of the normal winning opening winning information storage.

As for the normal winning opening winning information, the one stored in the 0th section of the normal winning opening winning information storage is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. When this ordinary winning opening winning information is set, the ordinary winning opening winning information in the first section of the ordinary winning opening winning information memory is placed in the 0th section of the ordinary winning opening winning information memory, and the second section of the ordinary winning opening winning information memory is stored. The ordinary winning opening winning information of the section is in the first section of the normal winning opening winning information memory, and the ordinary winning opening winning information of the third section of the ordinary winning opening winning information memory is in the second section of the ordinary winning opening winning information memory. After being shifted, the third section of the normal winning opening winning information storage becomes an empty area. For example, when the ordinary winning opening winning information is stored in the first to second sections of the ordinary winning opening winning information storage, the ordinary winning opening winning information in the first section of the ordinary winning opening winning information memory is the ordinary winning. The normal winning mouth winning information in the second section of the ordinary winning opening information storage is shifted to the first section of the ordinary winning opening information storage in the 0th section of the ordinary winning opening information storage, and the ordinary winning opening winning information memory is shifted to the first section. The 2nd section and the 3rd section of the normal winning opening winning information storage are free areas. Here, if the normal winning opening winning information is stored in the first to third sections of the normal winning opening winning information storage, the total number of the stored ordinary winning opening winning information is used as a hold ball and the normal winning opening unit 1400 is used. The output of the lighting signal of the normal hold indicator of the function display unit 1400 is set based on the above-mentioned ordinary winning opening winning information so as to turn on the hold indicator, and is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area as output information.

Following the normal winning opening winning process, the normal winning opening winning information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM is read, and the value of the random number for determining the normal symbol hit is extracted from the read normal winning opening winning information and the main control is performed. It is determined whether or not the value matches the normal symbol hit judgment value stored in advance in the built-in ROM (referred to as "normal lottery"). Whether or not to open and close the movable piece is determined based on this determination result (lottery result by ordinary lottery). When the opening / closing operation is performed by this determination, the movable piece is in the open operation state, so that the game ball can be accepted into the second starting port 2004, which is advantageous to the player. The variation display pattern of the normal symbol corresponding to this determination is determined based on the random number for the normal symbol variation display pattern described above, various commands classified in relation to the normal symbol synchronization effect are created, and the transmission information storage described above is stored as transmission information. While storing in the area, the output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set so as to light the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined variation display pattern of the normal symbol, and the output information. Is stored in the output information storage area described above.

Further, for example, when the value of the extracted normal symbol hit judgment random number matches the normal symbol hit judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, various commands related to the normal electric service effect are created and transmitted. The output of the drive signal to the start port solenoid 2415 is set so as to be stored in the transmission information storage area as information and to open and close the movable piece, and is stored in the output information storage area described above as output information. When the value of the symbol hit judgment random number does not match the normal symbol hit judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, the normal symbol variation display pattern is determined based on the above-mentioned normal symbol variation display pattern random number. , Create various commands classified in relation to the normal symbol synchronization effect, store them in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area as transmission information, and turn on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined normal symbol variation display pattern. The output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set so as to be stored in the output information storage area described above as output information. In this example, the winning probability of the ordinary lottery (probability of winning the ordinary lottery) is halved.

Following step S116, the main control MPU performs a set value confirmation display process (step S117). The detailed description of the set value confirmation display process will be described later, but for reading the input information from the above-mentioned input information storage area and detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 based on the input information. The detection signal from the main body frame release switch 4b and the setting key are inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is in the initial position (that is, the rotation of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the first ON operation by rotating 60 degrees clockwise from the position), and the setting key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a causes the outside. A predetermined setting value display permission condition is determined by determining that the main body frame 4 is open with respect to the frame 2 and determining that the setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the setting key ON signal. On the other hand, it is determined that the main body frame 4 is not opened with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b, and / or the setting key is determined by the setting key ON signal. Since it is determined that the switch 1311a is not turned on, it is determined that the predetermined set value display permission condition is not satisfied. In the set value confirmation display process, when the set value display permission condition is satisfied, a lighting signal for displaying the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM on the setting display 1310 g. Is set and stored in the output information storage area as output information. On the other hand, when the set value display permission condition is satisfied, the process ends as it is and the process returns to this routine.

Following step S117, the main control MPU performs port output processing (step S118). In this port output process, output information is read from the output information storage area described above from the output terminals of various output ports of the main control MPU, and various signals are output based on the output information. This main control MPU, for example, outputs a main payment ACK signal when various commands from the payout control board 633 are normally received from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the main control MPU based on the output information. A movable piece for outputting a drive signal to the first attacker solenoid 2418 that opens and closes the opening and closing member of the first big winning opening 2005 and for opening and closing the second starting port 2004 when it is in a big hit game state. In addition to outputting a drive signal to the start port solenoid 2415 that opens and closes, 15 round big hit information output signal, 2 round big hit information output signal, small hit information output signal, special symbol display information output signal, normal symbol display Various information (game information) signals related to the game such as information output signal, time saving medium information output signal, start opening winning information output signal can be output to the payout control board 633, and launch permission logic or launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic). The launch permission signal set to is output to the payout control board 633, and the counting result (total number) of the number of game balls collected by the out port 2010, the first sub out port 2011, and the second sub out port 2012 is displayed. A display signal is output to the base monitor, and a lighting signal for displaying the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM on the setting display 1310 g is output.

Following step S118, the main control MPU performs peripheral control board command transmission processing (step S120). In this peripheral control board command transmission process, transmission information is read from the transmission information storage area described above, and this transmission information is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as main peripheral serial data. This transmission information includes various commands classified in the special figure 1 synchronization effect-related, various commands classified in the special figure 2 synchronization effect, and jackpot-related, which are created by the main control side timer interrupt processing of this routine. Various commands to be executed (for example, when a game ball entered in the first large winning opening 2005 is detected, the large winning opening 1 corresponding to the large winning opening counting command is based on the detection signal from the first large winning opening sensor 2402. Count display command), various commands classified as power-on, various commands classified as related to normal electric power production, various commands classified as normal electric service production, various commands classified as notification display, status display Various commands to be classified, various commands to be classified for testing, and various commands to be classified to others (for example, a prize ball based on a game ball in which the main control board 1310 has entered various winning openings provided in the game board 5). Every time the number of game balls to be paid out reaches 10, the main prize ball number information output signal is transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal board 558 as the main prize ball number information. Main prize ball number information output command, etc.) and various commands classified into a specific history (for example, the number of game balls collected at the out port 2010, the first sub out port 2011, and the second sub out port 2012 is 10 balls. The ball collection command that tells that fact every time it reaches, the setting change command that tells that the setting value has been changed, and the contents stored in the main control built-in RAM are abnormal (or unreliable). ) An error display command that conveys the fact, an ON operation command of the setting key that informs that the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area described later in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is confirmed, etc.) are stored. One packet of the main peripheral serial data is composed of 3 bytes. Specifically, the main peripheral serial data has a status indicating the type of command having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), a mode indicating a variation of an effect having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), and a status. It is composed of a sum value obtained by regarding the mode as a numerical value and a sum of the sum values, and this sum value is created at the time of transmission.

In this peripheral control board command transmission process, various commands are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value, which constitute various commands as main peripheral serial data. As described above, the charge charged to the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as + 5V to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU, in the event of a power failure or momentary power failure. The main peripheral serial transmission port built into the control MPU can at least transfer the command set in the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register by the serial management unit and complete transmission from the transmission shift register as main peripheral serial data. You can do it. When the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, or when the power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure after the power is turned on, transmission is performed when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 229. In the reservation setting of the command to be executed, in order to notify that the power has been restored, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information output judgment counter Since a notification command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, the status, mode, and sum value that configure the power-on state command are stored as main circumference serial data in that order. Sends to the peripheral control board 1510, then sends to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configures the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and then the main prize ball number information when the power is turned on. The output determination counter notification command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value. In the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, various information is read from the game backup information in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the main control side power-on processing, and the various information is supported. Various commands may be stored. In such a case, first, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information is completed among various information, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information The output judgment counter notification command will be sent.

When a ball collection command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 every time the number of game balls collected at the out port 2010, the first sub-out port 2011, and the second sub-out port 2012 reaches 10, the periphery The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the control board 1510 counts the number of game balls collected at the out port 2010, the first sub-out port 2011, and the second sub-out port 2012 for each received ball collection command, and is not shown. Updated with the ball collection information stored and stored in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (that is, the counted value (that is, the total number of game balls collected at the out port 2010, the first sub-out port 2011, and the second sub-out port 2012)). Information associated with the date and time) is updated. If the pachinko machine 1 is turned off after the business hours of the game hall are closed without receiving the ball collection command, as a result, the last counted values (that is, the out port 2010 and the first sub out port 2011) are used. The ball collection information in which the total number of game balls collected at the second sub-out port 2012) and the updated date and time is stored in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on when the game hall is opened, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510 sells the ball collection information stored and stored in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). The ball collection information is created again from the start date, and the ball collection information is stored and held as the ball collection history information in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). As the counted value stored and stored as the ball recovery information in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown), the value counted from the value 0 (zero) on that day may be used, or from the value 0 (zero) on that day. Both the counted value and the sum of the counted values so far may be used.

Following step S120, the main control MPU clears the main control built-in WDT (step S122) and ends this routine. The main control built-in WDT in step S122 is cleared by setting the timer clear set value in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU. As a result, the timekeeping by the main control built-in WDT is cleared. Then, by restarting the time counting by the main control built-in WDT, the main control MPU is not forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT.

As described above, the main control board 1310 is used as the backup for storing the game information due to the progress of the game before the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off during the progress of the game. The processing can be executed and completed, and at the time of power recovery, the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off based on the game information in which the backup processing is executed as the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310. When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command at power-on that indicates the drive state of the start port solenoid 2415 and the first attacker solenoid 2418, which are the electrical drive sources by the port output process in step S118 in this routine, is sent to the peripheral control board 1510. It can be output. That is, the main control board 1310 has the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the same process shown in FIG. 228 in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 229. Power-on status command, which is classified as power-on, to notify that the power has been turned on (restored) based on the power-on information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the work area setting of. The main control return destination command at power-on and the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output at power-on are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and in step S120 in this routine. In the peripheral control board command transmission process, the main peripheral serial data is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value, which constitutes the power-on state command, and then the main control return destination at power-on. The command is sent to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value, and then the status, mode, and sum value that configures the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output when the power is turned on. The data is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in this order.

Therefore, the peripheral control board 1510 sets the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 at the time of power restoration to the display area of the effect display device 1600 based on the main control return destination command when the power is turned on from the main control board 1310. Can be displayed in the production. As a result, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs while the player is playing a game and then the power is restored, the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure is quickly restored after the power is restored. In addition, the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 can be displayed and notified in the display area of the effect display device 1600, so that the system of the pachinko machine 1 is in a solid state, that is, a so-called frozen state. It is possible to prevent the player from being mistaken for a failure. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being mistaken for a failure by promptly returning to the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure after the power is restored.

Further, in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the production line of the main control board 1310, when the main control board 1310 is first turned on after being manufactured for inspection, as described above, FIG. 228 shows. In step S38 in the main control side power-on processing shown, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is always cleared except for a specific area. As a result, in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at power-on in step S50 in the same process shown in FIG. 229, when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at power-on is made, the power-on state command classified as power-on , When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command when the power is turned on and the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output when the power is turned on are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Only three commands, the status command, the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output when the power is turned on, are stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. In the peripheral control board command transmission process in step S120 in this routine, the main control board inspection device is used as the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configure the power-on state command as main peripheral serial data. It is transmitted to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value, which constitutes the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and then the main prize ball number information is output when the power is turned on. The judgment counter notification command is transmitted to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value. The inspection device in the main control board inspection process configures information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine included in the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310. , The series code for specifying which of the above-mentioned max type, middle type, and amadeji type indicating the model type, the copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and the game specifications. (For example, when a probability fluctuation occurs, in addition to the game specification that the state is continued until the next big hit game state occurs, the game specification that the probability fluctuation occurs in a state where the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is limited (ST). Based on the game specification code for identifying the machine), etc.), detailed model information is displayed on the inspection monitor of the main control board inspection process.

[13-5. Setting change process]
Next, the setting change process will be described. This setting change process is a process performed in step S37 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 228.

When the setting change process is started, the main control MPU acquires the current installation value as shown in FIG. 231 (step S200). Here, the main control MPU acquires the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. When acquiring this set value, it may be read out or taken out, but when the set value is taken out, the taken out set value is set in a predetermined area.

Following step S200, the main control MPU calculates the checksum (step S202). This checksum calculates the total of various information stored in the main control built-in RAM as numerical values, and is performed in step S28 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 228. This is the same process as the calculation of.

Following step S202, the calculated checksum value (sum value) of the main control MPU is stored in the main control side power off processing (power off) in the main control side power on processing shown in FIG. 229. It is determined whether or not the checksum value (sum value) matches the checksum value (step S204). In step S204, when the main control MPU determines that they match, it determines whether or not the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1 (step S206). The determination in step S204 and the determination in step S206 are the same as the determination in step S30 and the determination in step S32 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 228. As described above, the backup flag BK-FLG has a built-in main control in the main control side power cutoff process, which describes various information, checksum value (sum value), game backup information such as backup flag BK-FLG value, etc., which will be described later. It is a flag indicating whether or not the memory is stored in the RAM, and is set to a value of 1 when the main control side power off processing is normally completed and a value of 0 when the main control side power off processing is not normally completed. Will be done.

In the determination in step S204, when the main control MPU determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match, or in the determination in step S206, the main control MPU has a backup flag BK-FLG that is not a value 1. When (value is 0), that is, when it is determined that the main control side power off processing has not been normally completed, it is determined whether or not the set value acquired in step S200 is within the normal range (step S208). .. Here, the "normal range" is a value at which the set value can be changed, and in the present embodiment, the set value 1, the set value 2, the set value 3, the set value 4, the set value 5, and the setting It is preset to a value up to a value of 6. When it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM by proceeding to the determination in step S208, or when it is determined that the main control side power off processing is not normally completed when the power is cut off. Therefore, there is something wrong with the contents stored in the main control built-in RAM (or it cannot be trusted). Therefore, in the determination in step S208, the main control MPU has the set value 1 to the set value 6 in which the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM acquired in step S200 is in the normal range. It is determined whether or not the value is one of the values, and when it is determined that the value is within the normal range, the set value is used as it is.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S208, when it is determined that the main control MPU is not in the normal range, the set value 1 which is an initial value is set with respect to the set value acquired in step S200 (step S210). In the determination in step S208, any one of the set value 1 to the set value 6 in which the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM acquired in step S200 is in the normal range. Although it is determined whether or not it is a value, the main control MPU determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match in the determination in step S204 without performing the determination in step S208. When, or in the determination in step S206, the main control MPU determines that the backup flag BK-FLG is not a value 1 (value is 0), that is, the main control side power off processing is not normally completed. Occasionally, the process of step S210 may be proceeded, and the set value 1 which is the initial value may be set with respect to the set value acquired in step S200.

In the determination in step S206, the main control MPU determines when the backup flag BK-FLG is a value 1, that is, when it is determined that the main control side power off processing has been normally completed, or in the determination in step S208, the main control When the MPU determines that the range is normal, or following step S210, the main control MPU outputs a lighting signal to the setting change permission lamp 1310z to light the setting change permission lamp 1310z (step S212).

Following step S212, the main control MPU outputs a lighting signal for displaying the set value on the setting display 1310g to the setting display 1310g, and displays the setting value on the setting display 1310g (step S214). ..

Following step S214, the main control MPU determines whether or not the setting switching button is being operated (step S216). This determination reads the detection signal from the setting switching button and determines whether or not the detection signal from the setting switching button is input. The main control MPU determines that the setting switching button is operated when the detection signal from the setting switching button is input, while the setting switching button is operated when the detection signal from the setting switching button is not input. Judge that it is not.

In the determination in step S216, when it is determined that the setting switching button is being operated, the main control MPU performs an operation of adding (incrementing) the value 1 to the set value to update it (step S218). At this time, when the set value is acquired in step S200, if the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is taken out and set in the predetermined area, this predetermined area is set. The value 1 is added (incremented) to the set value set in.

Following step S218, the main control MPU outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value updated in step S216 to the setting display 1310g to the setting display 1310g, and updates the setting value for the setting display 1310g. Is displayed (step S220).

Following step S220 or in the determination of step S216, when the main control MPU determines that the setting switching button has not been operated, the main control MPU determines whether or not the enter key has been operated (step S222). ). In this determination, the main control MPU is set counterclockwise from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. The key cylinder is rotated 120 degrees (that is, the initial position which is the original position from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (that is, the setting key switch 1311a is turned off). The setting key switch is operated by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to return to the rotation position) and turning it OFF, and then rotating it 60 degrees counterclockwise) by performing the second ON operation. 1311a is turned on and the decision key is turned on based on the decision key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a. When the decision key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input, it is determined that the decision key has been operated. When the decision key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a is not input, it is determined that the decision key is not operated.

In the determination in step S222, when the main control MPU determines that the enter key has not been operated, it returns to the determination in step S216 again and determines whether or not the setting switching button has been operated. In the determination of step S216, when the main control MPU determines that the setting switching button is being operated, the processes of steps S218 and S220 are performed again, the determination of step S222 is performed, and the enter key is not operated. When it is determined, the determination is returned to step S216 again, and when the setting switching button is operated until the enter key is operated, the set value is added and updated by one value each time the operation is performed, and the setting display 1310 g If the setting switching button is not operated, the setting switching button is operated immediately before and the updated setting value is displayed on the setting display 1310g. Even if a power failure or momentary power failure occurs and the power is restored by the time the decision key is determined in step S222, the set value updated immediately before the power failure or momentary power failure occurs is the main control. Since it is not stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the internal RAM, it is discarded and the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is not changed.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S222, when it is determined that the enter key has been operated, the main control MPU stores the updated set value in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM (step S224). At this time, when the set value is acquired in step S200, if the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is taken out and set in the predetermined area, this predetermined area is set. Since it is updated with respect to the set value set in, the updated set value is returned to the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. Even if a power failure or momentary power failure occurs after the processing in step S224 is completed and the power is restored, the updated setting value when the enter key is operated before the power failure or momentary power failure occurs is the main control built-in RAM. It is stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of.

Following step S224, the main control MPU determines whether or not there is an OFF operation of the setting key (step S226). In this determination, the main control MPU has an initial position (that is, a setting key) from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. The setting key switch 1311a is turned off and the setting key switch 1311a is turned off by turning the switch 1311a 60 degrees clockwise to return it to the setting key cylinder rotation position). It is performed based on the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a, and when the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input, it is determined that the setting key has been turned off, but the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is not input. Sometimes it is determined that the setting key has not been turned off.

In the determination in step S226, when the main control MPU determines that the setting key has not been turned off, it returns to the determination in step S226 and repeats the determination in step S226 until the setting key is turned off.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S226, when it is determined that the setting key has been turned off, the main control MPU stops outputting the lighting signal to the setting indicator 1310g for displaying the updated setting value on the setting indicator 1310g. Then, the updated setting value is hidden from the setting display 1310g (step S228).

Following step S228, the main control MPU stops the lighting signal to the setting change permission lamp 1310z and turns off the setting change permission lamp 1310z (step S230).

Following step S230, the main control MPU sets the setting change permission flag CS-FLG to a value 0 (step S232). As described above, the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is the current setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM (the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a is the first ON). It is a flag indicating whether or not to allow the setting change of the set value 1 to the set value 6 at the time of operation), and when the setting change of the set value is permitted. The value is set to 1 and the value is set to 0 when the setting change of the set value is not permitted. In the process of step S232, by setting the value 0 in the setting change permission flag CS-FLG, the setting change of the setting value is not permitted after that.

Following step S232, the main control MPU determines whether or not the set value stored in step S224 is within the normal range (step S233). The “normal range” is the same as that of the determination in step S208, and as described above, in the present embodiment, the set value 1, the set value 2, the set value 3, the set value 4, the set value 5, and the setting It is preset to a value up to a value of 6. In the determination in step S233, the main control MPU reconfirms whether the set value is an abnormal value, so that the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM in step S224 is normal. It is determined whether or not the value is one of the set value 1 to the set value 6 which is the range, and when it is determined that the value is within the normal range, the set value is used as it is.

In the determination of step S233, when it is determined that the main control MPU is in the normal range, the serial communication initial setting is performed (step S234), and then a setting change command is created to set transmission information (step S236). Subsequently, the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process for transmitting the transmission information (setting change command) set in step S236 as the main peripheral serial data to the peripheral control board 1510 is performed (step S238), and this routine is terminated. The serial communication initial setting in step S234 is the same process as the serial communication initial setting in step S44 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 229, and the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S238 is FIG. 230. This is the same process as the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in 1. Here, in the initial setting of serial communication in step S234, the transmission information (setting change command) set in step S236 in the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S238 is mainly performed prior to the initial setting of serial communication in step S44. Although it is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as peripheral serial data, this is prioritized before the reservation of the command to be transmitted at power-on is set in step S50 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 229. This is to notify the peripheral control board 1510 that the set value has been changed by the setting change command. The setting change command is a command for notifying the setting value whose setting has been changed and the setting value storage completion. When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the setting change command, it updates the set value history information (information corresponding to the set value and the date and time) stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). To do.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S233, when it is determined that the main control MPU is not in the normal range, an error display process is performed (step S240), and the infinite loop is entered. Due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display process is completed is maintained, the game cannot proceed at all, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, and the power is turned on again. The detailed explanation of this error display processing will be described later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power off processing is not completed normally when the power is cut off. If it is determined, it is considered that the contents stored in the main control built-in RAM are abnormal (or cannot be trusted), and an error display is performed to that effect. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU displays the letter E as an error display on the setting display 1310 g.

[13-6. Setting value confirmation display processing]
Next, the set value confirmation display process will be described. This set value confirmation display process is a process performed in step S117 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 230.

When the set value confirmation display process is started, the main control MPU determines whether or not the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG has a value of 0, as shown in FIG. 232 (step S350). This confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is a flag for confirming the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM, and the value 1 is set when the set value is confirmed and displayed. When the value is not confirmed and displayed, the value is set to 0.

In the determination of step S350, when the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when the set value is not confirmed and displayed, the main control MPU opens the main body frame 4 and turns on the setting key. (Step S352). In this determination, the main control MPU reads the input information from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, detects from the main body frame opening switch 4b for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. The setting key is inserted into the signal and the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder moves clockwise from the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the first ON operation after being rotated 60 degrees, and the setting key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a causes the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. Is determined to be open, and the setting key switch 1311a is determined to be ON by the signal of the setting key ON, thereby determining that the predetermined setting value display permission condition is satisfied. On the other hand, the detection signal from the main body frame release switch 4b determines that the main body frame 4 is not open to the outer frame 2, and / or the setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the setting key ON signal. By determining that there is no such condition, it is determined that the predetermined set value display permission condition is not satisfied.

In the determination in step S352, when the main control MPU determines that the predetermined set value display permission condition is not satisfied, the main control MPU terminates this routine as it is, while the predetermined set value display permission condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the set value is to be confirmed and displayed, the value 1 is set in the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG (step S354), and then the current installation value is acquired (step S356). Here, the main control MPU acquires the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM.

Following step S356, the main control MPU determines whether or not the set value acquired in step S356 is within the normal range (step S357). The "normal range" is the same as that of the determination in step S208 and the determination in step S233 in the setting change process of FIG. 178. As described above, in the present embodiment, the setting value 1, the setting value 2, and the setting The values up to the value 3, the set value 4, the set value 5, and the set value 6 are preset. In the determination in step S357, the main control MPU reconfirms whether the set value is an abnormal value, the set value acquired in step S356 (that is, the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM). It is determined whether or not the set value (set value stored in) is one of the set values 1 to 6 which is in the normal range, and when it is determined that it is in the normal range, the set value is used as it is. To do.

In the determination of step S357, when it is determined that the main control MPU is in the normal range, the main control MPU outputs a lighting signal for displaying the set value acquired in step S356 on the setting indicator 1310g to the setting indicator 1310g. The set value is displayed for 1310 g (step S358).

Following step S360, the main control MPU creates an ON operation command for the setting key, stores it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and sets the ON operation command for the setting key (step S360). ), End this routine. The ON operation command of this setting key is transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission process in step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 230. The ON operation command of the setting key indicates that the setting value confirmation display process, which is this routine, has started (that is, the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is confirmed). It is a command to convey.

When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the ON operation command of the setting key, the ON operation history information (setting value is confirmed) of the setting key stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). Information that associates the fact with the date and time) is updated.

Further, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the ON operation command of the setting key, the ball collection history information, the set value history information, the error display history information, and the ON operation history information of the setting key described above are received. The predetermined specific history information display permission condition that the display of the specific history information such as the above can be permitted is satisfied. In the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510, a person who confirms the specific history information in a state where the predetermined specific history information display permission condition is satisfied performs a rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 and a pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303. By performing the above, the control is performed to switch from the previously displayed image to the specific history information display image for selectively displaying the specific history information and display the specific history information in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S350, the main control MPU has an OFF operation of the setting key when the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when the set value is confirmed and displayed. Whether or not it is determined (step S362). In this determination, the main control MPU reads the input information from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key switch 1311a The setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise so as to return from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the enter key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a is turned off by the OFF operation, and the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is used. When the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input, it is determined that the setting key has been turned OFF. On the other hand, when the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is not input, it is determined that the setting key has not been turned OFF.

In the determination in step S362, the main control MPU terminates this routine as it is when it determines that the setting key has not been turned off, but does not confirm and display the set value when it determines that the setting key has been turned off. The value 0 is set in the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG (step S364), and then the output of the lighting signal for displaying the set value acquired in step S356 on the setting display 1310g is stopped. The acquired setting value is hidden from the setting display 1310g (step S366), and then an OFF operation command for the setting key is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. , The OFF operation command of the setting key is set (step S368), and this routine is terminated. The OFF operation command of this setting key is transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission process in step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 230. The OFF operation command of the setting key indicates that the setting value confirmation display process of this routine has been completed (that is, the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM has been confirmed). It is a command to convey.

When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the OFF operation command of the setting key, the above-mentioned predetermined specific history information display permission condition is not satisfied. At this time, if the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510 controls to display the above-mentioned specific history information display image in the display area of the effect display device 1600, immediately before switching to the specific history information display image. Control is performed to switch back to the original image by switching to the image displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S357, when it is determined that the main control MPU is not in the normal range, the interrupt disallow setting is set (step S370). With this setting, the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 230, which has been repeatedly performed every 4 ms, is stopped.

Following step S370, the main control MPU performs an error display process (step S372), and then enters an infinite loop that continues to clear the main control built-in WDT (step S374). Due to this infinite loop, the main control built-in WDT will continue to be cleared, but this cannot be stopped once the main control built-in WDT is started, so by continuing to clear the main control built-in WDT, the main control built-in WDT will continue to be cleared. By setting the timer clear setting value in the WDT clear register built in the control MPU, the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and by restarting the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT, the main control by the main control built-in WDT. The MPU does not have to be forcibly reset. Further, due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display processing is completed is maintained, the game cannot proceed at all, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, and the power is turned on again. The detailed explanation of this error display processing will be described later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power off processing is not completed normally when the power is cut off. If it is determined, it is considered that the contents stored in the main control built-in RAM are abnormal (or cannot be trusted), and an error display is performed to that effect. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU displays the letter E as an error display on the setting display 1310 g.

[13-7. Error display processing]
Next, the error display process will be described. This error display process is a process performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 228, and is a process performed in step S37 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 228 (FIG. 231). It is a process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 232), and is a process performed in step S372 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 232.

When the error display process is started, the main control MPU stops the firing permission signal as shown in FIG. 233 (step S400). As described above, the launch permission signal conveys that the launch of the game ball B is permitted to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633, and when the logic is set to the launch permission logic, the launch is performed. If the logic is set to the launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic), which is the reverse of the launch permission logic, it is possible to tell that the launch is stopped (not permitted). ..

The error display process of this routine is one of the processes performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 228 or the process performed in step S37 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 228. When started as (specifically, the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 231), the main control MPU interrupts step S52 in the process at power-on on the main control side shown in FIG. 229. Since the permission setting cannot be performed, the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 230 cannot be performed, and the firing permission signal setting process in step S113 in the same process cannot be performed. Since the launch permission signal is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 via the main control output circuit with a reset function, a reset function is provided at the time of power recovery. The main control output circuit has been reset, and its logic is the launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic), which is the reverse of the launch permission logic.

Therefore, the error display process of this routine is the process performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 228 or the process performed in step S37 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 228. When started as one process (specifically, the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 231), the main control MPU recovers power in step S400 and then displays an error in this routine. In order to prevent the game ball B from being fired even after the processing is started, the logic of the firing permission signal is set to the firing stop logic (launch non-permission logic), and the predetermined output port thereof. Outputs from the output terminal of the above to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 via the main control output circuit with a reset function.

When the error display process of this routine is started as the process performed in step S372 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 232, the main control MPU is in step S357 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 232. In the judgment, it is judged that the content of the main control built-in RAM is abnormal. Although the main control MPU has already set the interrupt permission in step S52 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 229, it has already been shown in FIG. 232 before the error display processing of this routine is started. Since the interrupt non-permission setting is performed in step S370 of the set value confirmation display process, when the error display process of this routine is completed, an infinite loop is entered as described above. Therefore, the main control side shown in FIG. 230. The timer interrupt process cannot be performed, and the launch permission signal setting process in step S113 in the process cannot be performed.

Therefore, when the error display process of this routine is started as the process performed in step S372 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 232, the main control MPU has an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM in step S400. In order to prevent the game ball B from being fired in a certain state, the logic of the firing permission signal is set to the firing stop logic (launch non-permission logic) and reset from the output terminal of the predetermined output port. It is output to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 via the main control output circuit with a function.

Following step S400, a lighting signal for displaying the alphabet E as an error display on the setting display 1310g is output to the setting display 1310g, and an error is displayed on the setting display 1310g (step S402).

Following step S402, the main control MPU displays an error to the function display unit 1400 (step S404). In this step S404, a lighting signal for lighting all the various indicators of the function display unit 1400 is output to the function display unit 1400, and an error is displayed on the function display unit 1400.

Following step S404, the main control MPU performs serial communication initial setting (step S406), then creates an error display command to set transmission information (step S408), and then sets in step S406. Peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing for transmitting transmission information (error display command) as main peripheral serial data to peripheral control board 1510 is performed (step S410), and this routine is terminated.

The serial communication initial setting in step S406 is the same as the serial communication initial setting in step S234 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 231 and the serial communication initial setting in step S44 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 229. The peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S410 is the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S238 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 231 and the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 230. This is the same process as the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S120. The error display process of this routine is performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 228, and is performed in step S37 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 228 (FIG. 231). The process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 232) and the process performed in step S372 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 232 are started and ended, respectively, and the infinite loop is entered as described above. , This infinite loop keeps the state where the error display process is completed, and the game cannot proceed at all.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the serial communication is initially installed in step S406, and the transmission information (error display command) set in step S408 in the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S410 is used as the main peripheral serial data as the peripheral control board. It is being transmitted to 1510.

The error display command is a command for notifying that the contents stored in the main control built-in RAM are abnormal (or unreliable). When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the error display command, the error display history information (information corresponding to the error display command and the date and time of reception) stored in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown) is stored. ) Is updated.

When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the error display command, the display area of the effect display device 1600 says "A RAM error has occurred. Please call the staff." In the blue background image. In addition to controlling the display of the message image of white characters, the announcement "A RAM error has occurred. Please call the staff." Is adjusted by rotating the volume control switch provided on the peripheral control board 1510. It is forcibly set so as to be the maximum volume regardless of the volume, and control is performed to flow from various speakers (vibration speaker 354, top center speaker 462, top side speaker 464, main body frame speaker 622, etc.). The process of notifying a RAM error by an error display command has the highest priority, and when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a on the peripheral control board 1510 receives a command for transmitting another error and then receives an error display command, the RAM Gives the highest priority to error notification.

[14. Various control processes for payout control boards]
Next, various control processes performed by the payout control board 633 shown in FIG. 137 will be described with reference to FIGS. 234 to 237. FIG. 234 is a flowchart showing an example of the payout control unit power-on processing, FIG. 235 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the payout control unit power-on processing of FIG. 234, and FIG. 236 is a payout control unit following FIG. 235. It is a flowchart which shows the continuation of the power-on processing, and FIG. 237 is the flowchart which shows an example of the payout control unit timer interrupt process. First, the payout control unit power-on processing will be described, and then the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described.

[14-1. Dispensing control unit power-on processing]
First, when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, under the control of the payout control MPU of the payout control unit 633a on the payout control board 633, as shown in FIGS. 234 to 236, the payout control unit power-on processing is performed. .. When the payout control unit power-on processing is started, the payout control MPU sets the interrupt mode (step S500). This interrupt mode sets the interrupt priority of the payout control MPU. In the present embodiment, the payout control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is set to have the highest priority, and when an interrupt of the payout control unit timer interrupt process occurs, the process is preferentially performed.

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

Following step S502, the payout control MPU performs wait timer processing 1 (step S506) and determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S508). The voltage does not rise immediately between the time the power is turned on and the voltage reaches the specified voltage. On the other hand, in the event of a power failure or momentary power failure (a phenomenon in which the power supply is temporarily stopped), the voltage drops, and when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 as a power failure warning. .. Similarly, when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage between the time when the power is turned on and the voltage rises to a predetermined voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310. Therefore, the wait timer process 1 in step S506 is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the power failure warning voltage and stabilizes after the power is turned on. In the present embodiment, the waiting time (wait timer) is 200 milliseconds (waiting timer). ms) is set. The determination in step S508 is performed based on the power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310.

Following step S508, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the RAM clear switch of the main control board 1310 is being operated (step S512). This determination is based on the logic of the operation signal from the RAM clear switch, and it is determined that it does not indicate that the RAM is cleared when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch is HI. While it is determined that the RAM clear switch is not operated, it is determined that when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch is LOW, it is determined that the RAM is cleared and the RAM is cleared. Determine that the switch is operating.

In the determination in step S512, when it is determined that the RAM clear switch is being operated, the payout control MPU sets the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG to a value of 1 (step S514). That is, the payout control MPU is in a state in which the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (that is, the payout control built-in RAM) built in the payout control MPU can be executed for a predetermined time from the time when the power is turned on.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S512, when the payout control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch is not operated, the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is set to a value 0 (step S516). The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is stored in the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU, for example, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas (for example, a prize ball information storage area). The logical state of the PRDY signal stored in the prize ball stock number PBS, actual ball count PB, drive command number DRV, inconsistency counter INCC, etc. stored in the CR communication information storage area is set. It is a flag indicating whether or not to delete the payout information related to the payout of the PRDY signal output setting information, etc.), and is set to a value 1 when the payout information is erased and a value 0 when the payout information is not erased. The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG set in steps S514 and S516 is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the payout control MPU.

Following step S514 or step S516, the payout control MPU is set to allow access to the payout control built-in RAM (step S518). With this setting, the RAM for payout control can be accessed, and for example, payout information can be written (stored) or read out.

Following step S518, the payout control MPU sets the stack pointer (step S520). The stack pointer indicates, for example, the address loaded on the stack for temporarily storing the contents of the storage element (register) in use, or temporarily returns the return address of this routine when the subroutine is terminated and returned to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked. In step S520, the initial address is set in the stack pointer, and the contents of the register, the return address, and the like are pushed onto the stack from this initial address. Then, the stack pointer returns to the initial address by reading from the last stacked stack to the first stacked stack in order.

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

In the determination in step S522, the payout control MPU calculates the checksum when the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that the payout information is not erased (step S524). In this checksum, the payout information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is regarded as a numerical value and the total is calculated.

Following step S524, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the calculated checksum value matches the checksum value stored in the payout control unit power cutoff process (power down) described later. (Step S526). In step S526, when the payout control MPU determines that they match, it determines whether or not the payout backup flag HBK-FLG has a value of 1 (step S528). The payout backup flag HBK-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not the payout backup information such as the payout information and the checksum value is stored and held in the payout control built-in RAM in the payout control unit power cutoff process described later, and is paid out. The value is set to 1 when the control unit power off processing is normally completed, and is set to 0 when the payout control unit power off processing is not normally completed.

In the determination of step S528, when the payout backup flag HBK-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that the payout control unit power cutoff process has been normally completed, the payout control built-in RAM is used as the time of power recovery. The work area of (step S530) is set. In this setting, the value 0 is set in the payout backup flag HBK-FLG, and the power recovery information is read from the ROM built in the payout control MPU (that is, the payout control built-in ROM), and the power is restored. The information is set in the work area of the payout control built-in RAM. As a result, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas, etc. (for example, prizes stored in the prize ball information storage area), which are the above-mentioned payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM. Ball stock number PBS, actual ball count PB, drive command number DRV, inconsistency counter INCC, etc., PRDY signal output setting information in which the logical state of the PRDY signal is set, stored in the CR communication information storage area, Information to be used for various processes is set based on the payout information related to the payout of the inconsistency counter reset judgment time stored in the time management information storage area. The term "recovery" includes not only the state in which the power is turned on from the state in which the power is cut off, but also the state in which the power is restored after the power failure or momentary power failure.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S522, the payout control MPU determines that the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, that the payout information is to be erased, or in the determination in step S526. When the payout control MPU determines that the checksum values do not match, or in the determination of step S528, the payout control MPU determines that the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is not a value 1 (value 0), that is, When it is determined that the payout control unit power off processing has not been normally completed, the entire area of the payout control built-in RAM is cleared (step S532). As a result, the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is cleared.

Following step S532, the payout control MPU sets the work area of the payout control built-in RAM as an initial setting (step S534). This setting reads the initial information from the payout control built-in ROM and sets this initial information in the work area of the payout control built-in RAM.

Following step S530 or step S534, the payout control MPU performs interrupt initial setting (step S536). This setting sets the interrupt cycle when the payout control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 2 ms.

Following step S536, the payout control MPU sets the interrupt enable setting (step S538). With this setting, the payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every 2 ms, that is, the interrupt cycle set in step S536.

Following step S538, the payout control MPU sets the value A in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL (step S539). The watch dock timer is set to clear by setting the value A, the value B, and the value C in order in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL.

Following step S539, the payout control MPU determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S540). When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, or a power failure or momentary power failure occurs, as described above, when the voltage falls below the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 as a power failure warning. Will be done. The determination in step S540 is performed based on this power failure warning signal.

In the determination in step S540, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1 when it is determined that there is no input of the power failure warning signal (step S542). This 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag that measures 2 ms by the timer interrupt process of the payout control unit that is processed every 2 ms, which will be described later. Set.

In the determination of step S542, when the 2ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that 2 ms has not elapsed, the payout control MPU returns to step S540, and the payout control MPU inputs a power failure warning signal. Determine if it has been done.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S542, the payout control MPU sets the value 0 in the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG when the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that 2 ms has elapsed (step S544). ).

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

Following step S546, the payout control MPU performs port output processing (step S548). In this port output process, various information is read from the output information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and various signals are output from the output terminals of the various output ports of the payout control MPU based on the various information. In the output information storage area, for example, payer ACK information for notifying that various commands (prize ball command and self-check command) related to payout from the main control board 1310 have been normally received, and drive control to the payout motor 584 are performed. Various information such as drive information, prize ball number information of the number of balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584, and LED display information displayed on the error LED display is stored, and payout control is performed based on this output information. When various commands related to payout from the main control board 1310 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the MPU, the payer ACK signal is output to the main control board 1310 or the drive signal is output to the payout motor 584. Alternatively, the number of balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 is output to the external terminal plate 558 as a prize ball number information output signal (in the present embodiment, the payout motor 584 actually pays 10 game balls). A prize ball number information output signal is output to the external terminal board 558 each time it is output.

Specifically, a counter for determining the number of prize balls information for determining whether or not to output the number of prize balls information is provided, and the payout motor 584 actually determines the counter for determining the number of prize balls. The number of game balls paid out to is counted based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 in the port input process of step S550 described later, and the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584. Is stored and updated in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM by a process (program) (not shown) for monitoring.

In a process (program) (not shown) for monitoring the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584, the prize ball number information output determination counter stored in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM Based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 in the port input process of step S550 described later, the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 is added to the value and stored and updated.

In the port output process of step S548, the value of the prize ball number information output determination counter is read from the prize ball information storage area, and when the value of the read prize ball number information output determination counter exceeds the value 10 ( That is, when the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 reaches 10, the prize ball number information output signal is output to the external terminal board 558 (at this time, the number of balls exceeding the number is indicated). The value is stored and updated in the prize ball information storage area of the above-mentioned payout control built-in RAM as the value of the prize ball number information output determination counter), and the display signal is output to the error LED display.

Following step S548, the payout control MPU performs port input processing (step S550). In this port input process, various signals input to the input terminals of the various input ports of the payout control MPU are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM. For example, an operation signal of the RAM clear switch (RAM clear signal), a detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590, a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591, a detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154, a BRQ signal from the CR unit, The BRDY signal, CR connection signal, main payment ACK signal from the main control board 1310 that conveys that the main control board 1310 has normally received various commands transmitted in the command transmission process described later, etc. are read and input as input information. Store in the information storage area.

Following step S550, the payout control MPU performs a timer update process (step S552). In this timer update process, the ball squeeze determination time set as a determination condition when determining whether or not a ball squeeze state is generated by the payout blade 589 to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is transmitted The skip determination time set when the fixed position determination of the payout blade 589 is not performed, and the skip determination time set as the determination condition when determining whether or not the game ball in which the lower plate 202 is stored is full. When determining whether or not the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number based on the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 during the full tank determination time. In addition to managing the time such as the ball out judgment time set as the judgment condition, the number of game balls received and paid out by the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 and the actual payout detection sensor 591 Judgment when determining whether to reset the inconsistency counter INCC for monitoring whether or not the inconsistent payout of game balls due to inconsistency with the number of balls detected in Inconsistency counter set as a condition Time management of reset judgment time is performed. For example, when the ball gadget judgment time is set to 5005 ms, the timer interrupt cycle is set to 2 ms. Therefore, the ball gummy judgment time is subtracted by 2 ms each time the timer update process is performed, and the subtraction result is a value. When it becomes 0, the ball shaving judgment time is accurately measured. These various determination times are stored as time management information in the time management information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM.

Following step S552, the payout control MPU performs CR communication processing (step S554). In this CR communication process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, whether or not various signals (BRQ signal, BRDY signal, and CR connection signal) from the CR unit are input is determined. judge. Based on various signals from the CR unit, the payout control MPU exchanges various signals with the CR unit. In the process of setting the work area of the payout control built-in RAM in step S530, as described above, various flags and various information stored in the various information storage areas, which are payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM. Etc. (For example, the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the inconsistency counter INCC, etc. stored in the prize ball information storage area, and the PRDY stored in the CR communication information storage area. Information to be used for various processes is set based on the payout information related to the payout of the PRDY signal output setting information in which the logical state of the signal is set.

By this processing, for example, even if there is a momentary power failure or a power failure, the values such as the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, and the inconsistency counter INCC at the time of power recovery are stored as payout backup information. It can be restored to the values of the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the inconsistency counter INCC, etc. immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure. As a result, even if the payout operation of the game ball is being executed by the payout device 580 and the payout operation cannot be continued due to a momentary power failure or a power failure, the payout operation can be continued at the time of power recovery. Therefore, the game ball can be paid out to the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 without excess or deficiency. In other words, in the CR communication processing, the payout control MPU momentarily stops or loses power when paying out the game ball to the upper plate 201 or the lower plate 202 while exchanging various signals with the CR unit. Even if the exchange of various signals is cut off and the payout of the game ball cannot be continued, the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the inconsistency counter INCC, etc. at the time of power recovery The value is restored to the value stored as the payout backup information, such as the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, and the inconsistency counter INCC, immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure. The exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit immediately before the stoppage or power failure can be continued from the time of power recovery, and the game balls can be continuously paid out. ing.

In this way, the exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit is restored to the state immediately before the momentary power stop or stop even if the power is restored. Therefore, various signals from the pachinko machine 1 (pain control MPU) and the CR unit do not change due to the influence of the momentary power failure or stoppage. Therefore, the reliability of exchanging various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (pain control MPU) and the CR unit can be improved.

Further, various information stored in the CR communication information storage area is included in the payout backup information. In the CR communication process, the PRDY signal output setting information is read from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM, which is set in the process of setting the work area of the payout control built-in RAM in step S530 at the time of power recovery. When the read PRDY signal output setting information is set to the logical state of the PRDY signal that conveys, for example, that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible, the PRDY signal is paid out. Output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the specified output port of the MPU. Then, in the retry operation monitoring process performed as one of the main operation setting processes, for example, the value of the inconsistency counter INCC of the prize ball information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM included in the payout backup information. Based on, it is determined whether or not the value of the inconsistent counter INCC is smaller than the inconsistent threshold value INCTH, and when the value of the inconsistent counter INCC is not smaller than the inconsistent threshold value INCTH, the retry operation is abnormal. In other words, it is determined that the payout operation of the game ball by the payout device 580 is in an abnormal state, a value 1 is set in the retry error flag RTERR-FLG, and in the payout ball Gami movement determination setting process, As a setting of the output of the error state to the CR unit, for example, the PRDY signal output is the logical state (LOW) of the PRDY signal that tells that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is not possible when not communicating with the CR unit. It is set in the setting information and stored in the CR communication information storage area.

As a result, in the CR communication processing, the logical state of this PRDY signal is read from the CR communication information storage area by the next timer interrupt from the time of power recovery, and the PRDY signal is read out from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU. Outputs to the CR unit. In this way, for example, if the payout operation of the game ball by the payout device 580 is in an abnormal state immediately before the momentary power failure, that state is restored when the power is restored, so that it is extremely early after the power is restored. At the stage, a PRDY signal indicating that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible can be output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU, and the payout device 580 can be output to the CR unit. It is possible to convey that the payout operation of the game ball is in an abnormal state. As a result, it is possible to prevent BRDY, which is a useless ball lending request signal, from being output from the CR unit at an extremely early stage after the power is restored.

Further, in the CR communication process, in the port input process of step S550, when the CR connection signal is read from the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM and the logic is HI based on the CR connection signal, that is, the pachinko machine. When 1 is turned on and the payout control board 633 and the CR unit are electrically connected, PRDY is used to convey that the payout operation for paying out the loaned ball is possible. The signal logic state is output as HI from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU to the CR unit, while the logic is LOW, that is, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on. When the payout control board 633 and the CR unit are not electrically connected, the payout control MPU sets the logical state of the PRDY signal as LOW in order to convey that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible. Output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the specified output port of. The logical state of the EXE signal for notifying that one payout operation has started or ended is stored in the CR communication information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as EXS signal output setting information, and is stored with the payout control board 633. The CR connection signal that conveys whether or not the CR unit is electrically connected is stored in the state information storage area as CR connection information.

Following step S554, the payout control MPU performs a full tank and out-of-ball check process (step S556). In this full tank and out-of-ball check process, the input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, the game ball in which the above-mentioned lower plate 202 is stored by the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154. The number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 described above by the detection signal from the ball cutting detection sensor 574 is equal to or more than a predetermined number. It is judged whether or not it is. For example, to determine whether or not the lower plate 202 is full with the stored game balls, the timer interrupt cycle of 2 ms is used, and the full tank detection sensor 154 is used in the current full tank and ball out check process. When the detection signal is ON and the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is OFF in the previous (2 ms before) full tank and ball out check process, that is, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is changed from OFF to ON. When the transition occurs, the timer update process in step S552 starts counting the full tank determination time described above. Then, when the full tank determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the full tank determination time is reached, is the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 ON in this full tank and ball out check process? Judge whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is ON, the full tank information indicating that the lower plate 202 is full in the stored game ball is stored in the above-mentioned state information storage area. To do. On the other hand, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is OFF, the full tank information indicating that the lower plate 202 is not full in the stored game ball is stored in the state information storage area.

The timer interrupt cycle of 2 ms is also used to determine whether or not the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or greater than the predetermined number. When the detection signal from the out-of-ball switch is turned on, and the detection signal from the out-of-ball switch is turned off in the previous (2 ms before) full tank and out-of-ball check processing, that is, the detection signal from the out-of-ball detection sensor 574 is When the transition from OFF to ON is performed, the timer update process in step S552 starts the time counting of the ball-out determination time described above. Then, when the ball-out determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the ball-out determination time is reached, is the detection signal from the ball-out detection sensor 574 ON in this full tank and ball-out check process? Judge whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the ball cutting detection sensor 574 is ON, it is assumed that the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or more than a predetermined number, and the ball is broken. While the information is stored in the state information storage area, when the detection signal from the ball cutting detection sensor 574 is OFF, it is assumed that the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not equal to or more than a predetermined number. The ball-out information that conveys that fact is stored in the state information storage area.

Following step S556, the payout control MPU performs a command reception process (step S558). In this command reception process, various commands (prize ball command and self-check command) related to payout from the main control board 1310 are received. When these various commands are normally received, the payer ACK information to that effect is stored in the output information storage area described above. On the other hand, when various commands cannot be received normally, a connection abnormality is transmitted to indicate that an abnormality has occurred in the connection between the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 (an abnormality has occurred in various command signals). Information is stored in the state information storage area described above.

Following step S558, the payout control MPU performs a command analysis process (step S560). In this command analysis process, the command received in step S558 is analyzed, and the analyzed command is stored in the received command information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as received command information.

Following step S560, the payout control MPU performs the main operation setting process (step S562). In this main motion setting process, motion settings such as prize balls, ball lending, ball removal and ball shavings are set, retry motions are determined, and the number of unpaid balls (prize ball stock number) is monitored. ..

Following step S562, the payout control MPU performs LED display data creation processing (step S564). In this LED display data creation process, various information is read from the state information storage area described above, display data to be displayed on the error LED display of the payout control board 633 is created, and stored as LED display information in the output information storage area described above. To do. For example, when the above-mentioned ball-out information is read from the state information storage area and the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not equal to or more than a predetermined number based on the ball-out information, it corresponds. Display data (in the present embodiment, display value 1 (number "1")) is created and LED display information is stored in the output information storage area.

Following step S564, the payout control MPU performs a command transmission process (step S566). In this command transmission process, various information is read from the above-mentioned state information storage area, and various commands (frame state 1 command, error release navigation command, and frame state 2 command) are created based on the various information. Then, it is transmitted to the main control board 1310. For example, when the ball-out information is read from the state information storage area, the frame state 1 is obtained when the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not equal to or more than a predetermined number based on the ball-out information. A command is created and sent to the main control board 1310.

Following step S566, the payout control MPU sets the value C in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL (step S568). By setting the value C in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL in step S568, the value C is set in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL following the value B set in step S546. As a result, the value A, the value B, and the value C are set in order in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL, and the watch dock timer is set to clear.

Following step S568, returning to step S539 again, the payout control MPU sets the value A in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL, determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input in step S540, and determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input, and this power failure warning If there is no signal input, it is determined in step S542 whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, and when the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when 2 ms has elapsed, step S544 The value 0 is set in the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG in step S546, the value B is set in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL in step S546, the port output process is performed in step S548, the port input process is performed in step S550, and step S552. Performs timer update processing in step S554, CR communication processing in step S554, full tank and ball out check processing in step S556, command reception processing in step S558, command analysis processing in step S560, and step S562. The main operation setting process is performed, the LED display data creation process is performed in step S564, the command transmission process is performed in step S566, the value C is set in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL in step S568, and steps S539 to S568 are repeated. Do. The processing of steps S539 to S568 is referred to as "payout control unit main processing".

The processing content of the payout control unit main processing differs according to the progress of the game by the main control board 1310. Therefore, the time required for processing the payout control MPU will fluctuate. Therefore, in the port output process of step S548, the payout control MPU preferentially outputs a payer ACK signal indicating that various commands related to payout from the main control board 1310 have been normally received to the main control board 1310. There is. As a result, the payout control MPU secures the processing time so that other fluctuating processing can be sufficiently performed.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S540, the payout control MPU sets the interrupt prohibition setting when it is determined that the power failure warning signal has been input (step S570). With this setting, the timer interrupt process of the payout control unit, which will be described later, is not performed, writing to the payout control built-in RAM is prevented, and the above-mentioned rewriting of the payout information is protected.

Following step S570, the payout control MPU stops outputting the drive signal to the payout motor 584 (step S574). As a result, the payout of the game ball is stopped.

Following step S574, the payout control MPU sets the watch dock timer to clear (step S576). As described above, this clear setting is performed by setting the value A, the value B, and the value C in order in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL.

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

Following step S578, the payout control MPU sets the payout backup flag HBK-FLG to a value of 1 (step S580). As a result, the storage of the payout backup information is completed.

Following step S580, the payout control MPU sets the prohibition of access to the payout control built-in RAM (step S582). By this setting, access to the payout control built-in RAM is prohibited, writing and reading become impossible, and the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is protected.

Following step S582, the payout control MPU enters an infinite loop. In this infinite loop, the value A, the value B, and the value C are not set in order in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL, so that the watch dock timer is not set to clear. Therefore, the payout control MPU is reset, and then the payout control unit power-on processing is performed again. The process of steps S570 to S582 and the infinite loop are referred to as "payout control unit power cutoff process".

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

In step S526, it is inspected whether or not the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is normal, and then in step S528, whether or not the payout control unit power off processing is normally completed. Is inspecting. In this way, by double-checking the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM, it is inspected whether or not the payout backup information is stored by fraudulent activity.

[14-2. Payout control unit timer interrupt processing]
Next, the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described. This payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (2 ms in the present embodiment) set in the payout control unit power-on process shown in FIGS. 234 to 236.

When the payout control unit timer interrupt process is started, the payout control MPU sets the timer interrupt to disabled and switches (saves) the register as shown in FIG. 237 (step S590). Here, the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) used in the above-mentioned payout control unit main processing is switched to the auxiliary register. By using this auxiliary register in the payout control unit timer interrupt processing, the value of the general-purpose register is not overwritten. This prevents the contents of the general-purpose register used in the main processing of the payout control unit from being destroyed.

Following step S590, the payout control MPU sets a value of 1 in the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG (step S592). This 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag that clocks 2 ms every time the payout control unit timer interrupt process is performed, that is, every 2 ms, and becomes a value of 1 when 2 ms has elapsed and a value of 0 when 2 ms has not elapsed. Each is set.

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

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

[15. Various control processes for peripheral control boards]
Next, various processes of the peripheral control board 1510 for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) shown in FIG. 137 will be described with reference to FIGS. 238 to 242. FIG. 238 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit power-on processing, FIG. 239 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, and FIG. 240 shows an example of peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing. FIG. 241 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and FIG. 242 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing. First, the peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described, and then the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing will be described. .. In the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing is set to the highest priority as the interrupt processing, followed by the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and the peripheral control unit. It is set in the order of V blank interrupt processing.

As described above, the peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510 has a CPU, RAM, VDP, VRAM, a sound source, a SATA controller, various I / O interfaces, and the like integrated on one semiconductor chip.

[15-1. Peripheral control unit power-on processing]
First, the peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described with reference to FIG. 238. When the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, the peripheral control unit power-on processing is performed as shown in FIG. 238 under the control of the CPU of the peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510. When the peripheral control unit power-on processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the initial setting processing (step S1000). In this initial setting process, a process of initializing the peripheral control IC itself, a process of determining hot start / cold start, a process of setting a wait timer after reset, a process of transferring various control information (peripheral data), etc. I do. The CPU of the peripheral control IC first performs the process of initializing the peripheral control IC itself, but the time required for the process of initializing the peripheral control IC is on the order of microseconds (μs), and the peripheral control IC takes an extremely short time. Can be initialized. As a result, the CPU of the peripheral control IC is in a state in which interrupt permission is set, so that, for example, in the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing described later, a command related to control of the game effect output from the main control board 1310. And various commands such as commands related to the state of the pachinko machine 1 can be received.

Following step S1000, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the current time information acquisition process (step S1002). In this current time information acquisition process, calendar information for specifying the date and time information for specifying the hour, minute, and second are acquired from the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown), and the current time information is stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. Set calendar information and current time information.

In the present embodiment, the CPU of the peripheral control IC acquires the calendar information and the time information from the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC only once when the power is turned on. Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC outputs a clear signal to an external WDT (not shown) after the current time information acquisition process is performed so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset.

Following step S1002, the CPU of the peripheral control IC sets the value 0 in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG (step S1004). This V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing described later, and has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed, and the peripheral control unit steady processing. Is set to a value of 0 when is not executed. The V-blank signal detection flag VB-FLG receives a V-blank signal from the VDP of the peripheral control IC to convey that the screen data (information defining the screen configuration) from the CPU of the peripheral control IC can be accepted. The value 1 is set in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which will be described later, which is executed when the data is executed. In this step S1004, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is initialized once by setting the value 0 in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG. Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC outputs a clear signal to the external WDT after setting the value 0 in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset.

Following step S1004, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1 (step S1006). When the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is not a value 1 (value 0), the CPU returns to step S1006 again to see if the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1. Whether or not it is repeatedly determined. By repeating such a determination, the state waits until the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed. Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC outputs a clear signal to the external WDT after determining whether or not the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset. ing.

In the determination of step S1006, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing, the CPU of the peripheral control IC first sets the steady processing flag SP-FLG. The value 1 is set (step S1008). The steady-state processing flag SP-FLG is set to a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is being executed, and to a value of 0 when the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is completed.

Following step S1008, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs a 1 ms interrupt timer activation process (step S1010). In this 1 ms interrupt timer activation process, the 1 ms interrupt timer for executing the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is activated, and the number of times the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated and the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed. 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is set to a value of 1 to initialize the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN. The 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is updated by the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing.

Following step S1010, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the effect operation unit monitoring process (step S1014). In this effect operation unit monitoring process, in the effect operation unit information acquisition process in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process described later, the first rotation detection sensor 347, the second rotation detection sensor 348, and the pressure detection provided in the effect operation unit 300 The rotation (rotation direction) of the rotation operation unit 302 and the rotation (rotation direction) of the rotation operation unit 302 based on the detection signals from various detection sensors such as the sensor 381 and the elevating detection sensor 382 (hereinafter, referred to as "various sensors provided in the effect operation unit 300"). Various information acquired from the operation of the pressing operation unit 303 (for example, rotation (rotation direction) history information of the rotation operation unit 302 created based on detection signals from various sensors provided in the effect operation unit 300, and pressing operation. Based on the RAM of the peripheral control IC in which the operation history information of the unit 303 is set, the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302 and the presence / absence of operation of the pressing operation unit 303 are monitored, and the rotation direction and pressing of the rotation operation unit 302 are monitored. Whether or not the operation state of the operation unit 303 is reflected in the game effect is appropriately determined. Specifically, if the volume is adjusted in the effect operation unit information acquisition process, the schedule data for sound generation is rewritten according to the adjusted volume, and if the brightness is adjusted, the light emission mode is adjusted according to the adjusted brightness. Rewrite the generation schedule data. As a result, the adjustment of the volume and the brightness is reflected in real time, and the production proceeds with the adjusted volume and the brightness.

The CPU of the peripheral control IC also performs a lamp pallet setting process as one process of the effect operation unit monitoring process. In the lamp pallet setting process, the brightness of the LED used as direct light and the brightness of the LED used as indirect light are determined based on the lamp pallet setting table composed of the specified brightness value, the normal pallet value, and the special pallet value. Are set respectively. While the production is in progress, the lamp pallet setting process is executed, and the player (or a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall) operates the production operation unit 301 (rotation operation unit 302, pressing operation unit 303) to perform the first operation. When one brightness specified value ranging from the brightness specified value to the 31st brightness specified value which is the maximum brightness is set, the above-mentioned floor set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC so as to be the set brightness specified value. The tone information can be updated.

Here, the luminance designation value, the normal palette value, and the special palette value that constitute the lamp palette setting table will be briefly described. As the brightness designation value, one brightness designation value can be set in a range of 32 steps from the 0th (zero) brightness designation value which is the minimum brightness (light off) to the 31st brightness designation value which is the maximum brightness. It is a value that can be set, and the normal palette value and the special palette value, which will be described later, are set in advance corresponding to the 0th (zero) luminance designated value to the 31st luminance designated value. The player (or a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall) operates the operable production operation unit 301 (rotation operation unit 302, pressing operation unit 303) to obtain the 31st brightness, which is the maximum brightness from the first brightness specified value. It is possible to set one specified brightness value up to the specified value.

For example, a player (or a staff member such as a clerk in a game hall) specifies a 0th (zero) brightness in which the current brightness is tentatively the minimum brightness (turns off) when the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated clockwise. When it is set to the first luminance specified value, which is the next highest brightness level after the value, a predetermined formula (for example, linear) is set from the first luminance specified value to the 31st luminance designated value which is the maximum brightness. Along the tone curve or spline curve tone curve), the brightness of the LED used as indirect light and the brightness of the LED used as direct light are changed so as to increase, while the rotation operation unit 302 is countered. When the current brightness is set to the maximum brightness in the case of rotating clockwise, a predetermined formula (for example, linear) from the 31st brightness specified value, which is the maximum brightness, to the first brightness specified value. The brightness of the LED used as indirect light and the brightness of the LED used as direct light are changed so as to be lowered along the tone curve (or a spline curve-like tone curve). When a player (or a staff member such as a clerk in a game hall) rotates the rotation operation unit 302 to select a desired brightness and presses the pressing operation unit 303, the selected desired brightness is determined. In the present embodiment, a case where the player (or a clerk of a game hall or the like) can set the brightness while the production is in progress is prepared in advance, and at this time, the player (or a clerk of the game hall) can set the brightness. Etc.) can set the desired brightness by operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303. Further, when a player (or a staff member such as a clerk in a game hall) operates the rotation operation unit 302 at a predetermined position in the display area of the effect display device 1600 while the effect is in progress, the first brightness specified value to the 31st brightness By displaying a bar-shaped indicator showing the position up to the specified value, it is possible to visually show as an image how much the desired brightness of the player (or a clerk of a game hall, etc.) is. You can do it. Further, in the present embodiment, the 14th luminance designated value is set as the initial value (default).

The normal palette value is set as the above-mentioned gradation information by the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative substrates provided on the game board side and various decorative substrates provided on the door frame side, which are irradiated as direct light. is there. As the normal pallet value, one of 17 steps is selected in 5% increments from the minimum pallet value (20%), which is the minimum value, to the maximum pallet value (100%), which is the maximum value. A mathematical formula (for example, a linear tone curve) in which one brightness designation and the corresponding palette value are predetermined in a range of 32 steps from the specified value of the 0th (zero) brightness designation value to the 31st brightness designation value. , Or a spline curve tone curve).

The minimum palette value (20%) is the maximum palette value corresponding to one brightness designation in the range of 32 steps from the 0th (zero) brightness designation value to the 31st brightness designation value, which is the above-mentioned brightness designation value. It is a value of 20% with respect to (100%), and similarly for other palette values, the value (%) described in parentheses is the 0th (zero) brightness specified value ~ which is the above-mentioned brightness specified value. It is a value for the maximum palette value (100%) corresponding to one luminance designation in the range of 32 steps up to the 31st luminance designation value.

In the present embodiment, as the normal pallet value, the maximum pallet value (100%) is selected in advance with respect to various decorative substrates provided on the game board side and various decorative substrates provided on the door frame side, which are irradiated as direct light. Of the various decorative substrates provided on the game board side that are set as the gradation information described above and are irradiated as direct light, a palette is provided for a specific decorative substrate (LED that the player feels dazzling), which is not shown. A value (50%) is selected in advance and set as the gradation information described above.

The special pallet value is set as the above-mentioned gradation information of the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative substrates used for the light guide plate irradiated as indirect light. Unlike the normal palette value, the special palette value has only one step, and is one of the 32 steps in the range from the 0th (zero) brightness designation value to the 31st brightness designation value, which is the brightness designation value described above. The luminance designation and the corresponding palette value are set as the above-mentioned gradation information according to a predetermined mathematical formula (for example, a linear tone curve or a spline curve tone curve).

As described above, if the brightness of the LED used as the indirect light is the same as the brightness of the LED used as the direct light, the indirect light by the light guide plate becomes darker than the direct light. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is set by using a special palette value instead of using the normal palette value set with respect to the brightness of the LED used as direct light. It is possible to visually recognize the state in which the light guide plate emits light by indirect light with the first luminance specified value, which is the next highest luminance level after the 0th (zero) luminance specified value, which is the minimum luminance (off). As the lowest possible brightness, the normal palette value is set to a value almost equal to the 18th brightness specified value when the maximum palette value (100%) is set, and the range from the 1st brightness specified value to the 31st brightness specified value. Of these, one luminance designated value and a corresponding palette value are set according to a predetermined mathematical formula (for example, a linear tone curve or a spline curved tone curve).

As described above, in the lamp palette setting process, the brightness of the LED used as direct light and the LED used as indirect light are based on the lamp palette setting table composed of the specified brightness value, the normal palette value, and the special palette value. When the brightness of the LED is set, the brightness of the LED used as the direct light is controlled by the player (or a staff member such as a clerk of the game hall) operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303. While it is set according to the normal palette value corresponding to the specified value, the player (or a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall) adjusts the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit with respect to the brightness of the LED used as indirect light. It is set according to the special palette value corresponding to the specified brightness value by the operation of 303. As a result, when the player feels that the brightness of the LED used as direct light is dazzling and the player operates and sets the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 in order to reduce the brightness, the direct light is used. The brightness of the LED used is set to the lowest brightness (that is, the first brightness specified value that is the next highest brightness level after the 0th (zero) brightness specified value that is the minimum brightness (light off)), and is linked to this. Therefore, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is also set to the lowest brightness (that is, the first brightness specified value which is the next highest brightness level after the 0th (zero) brightness specified value which is the minimum brightness (extinguishing)). Even so, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is set to a value substantially equal to the 18th brightness specified value when the normal palette value is set to the maximum palette value (100%). The minimum brightness at which the state in which the light guide plate is emitting light by indirect light can be visually recognized is set.

In addition, the programmer who designs the light emission mode individually sets the brightness of the various LEDs mounted on the various decorative substrates provided on the game board side and the various decorative substrates provided on the door frame side with respect to the LEDs used as direct light. Even if it is not set, the light emission mode according to the flow of the effect is set, and the flow of the effect by the light emission mode of the various LEDs mounted on the various decorative boards provided on the game board side and the various decorative boards provided on the door frame side. After seeing, set the normal palette value to a small palette value (for example, 50%) for a specific decorative substrate that is too dazzling (or a slightly darker brightness can exert the effect more), and other By setting the normal palette value to the maximum palette value (100%) with respect to the decorative substrate, the balance of the overall light emission mode can be changed extremely easily. That is, the player (or a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall) operates the operable production operation unit 301 (rotation operation unit 302, pressing operation unit 303) to obtain the maximum brightness from the first brightness specified value. Even if one brightness designation value is set up to the brightness designation value, a small palette value (for example, 50%) corresponding to the one brightness designation value is set for a specific decorative substrate. Since one brightness designation value and the corresponding maximum palette value (100%) are set for each of the other decorative substrates, the relationship between the light emission modes (bright or dark) set to each other is set. The brightness can be adjusted extremely easily without breaking the relationship.

Further, although it is difficult to adjust the brightness of the indirect light by the light guide plate as compared with the direct light, the LED used as the indirect light has a special palette value different from the normal palette value (that is, independent of the normal palette value). The brightness can be set by. As a result, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is controlled by the special palette value, and the brightness of the LED used as direct light is controlled by the normal palette value. Therefore, the LED used as indirect light. The brightness of the LED and the brightness of the LED used as direct light can be easily adjusted.

Updated with motor and solenoid drive processing in processing. In the motor and solenoid drive processing that is repeatedly executed each time this 1 ms timer interrupt occurs, the electric drive source such as the motor or solenoid is driven according to the drive data indicated by the pointer, and the next drive specified in time series is performed. It updates the pointer to the data and updates the pointer each time it executes its own processing. That is, since the drive data indicated by the pointer updated in the motor and solenoid drive processing is forcibly updated in the scheduler update processing, the pointer is originally instructed in the motor and solenoid drive processing for some reason. Even if another drive data is instructed from the drive data that should be used, the drive data that should be originally instructed in the scheduler update process is forcibly updated.

It is designed to do. This allows multiple anomalies to be monitored simultaneously without losing information that another anomaly has occurred and one anomaly has occurred after one anomaly has occurred but before the anomaly has been resolved. Can be done.

Following step S1024, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the RCT acquisition information update process (step S1026). In this RTC acquisition information update process, the calendar information and the time information acquired in the current time information acquisition process of step S1002 and stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC are updated. By this RCT acquisition information update process, the hour, minute, and second, which is the time information stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC, is updated, and the calendar information is stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC based on the updated time information. The date is updated.

It is read from (extracted) and output to the VDP of the peripheral control IC.

When screen data is input from the CPU of the peripheral control IC, the VDP of the peripheral control IC is a screen that reads image data from the SDRAM and draws (displays) it on the effect display device 1600 based on the input screen data. Minutes (1 frame) of drawing data are generated in the built-in VRAM.

Following step S1030, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs sound data creation processing (step S1032). In this sound data creation process, the pointer is updated in the scheduler update process of step S1020, and among the sound command data arranged in the time series constituting the sound generation schedule data, the sound command data instructed by the pointer is displayed. It is read (extracted) from the peripheral control ROM and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. When the sound command data is input from the CPU of the peripheral control IC, the sound source of the peripheral control IC reads the sound data from the SDRAM and incorporates the sound data such as music and sound effects according to the track number specified in the sound command data. , Set the output channel to be used according to the output channel number.

In the sound data creation process, the rotation position of the volume adjustment switch is based on the volume adjustment operation signal from the volume adjustment switch each time the sound data creation process is performed (that is, each time the peripheral control unit performs steady processing). Is specified. The CPU of the peripheral control IC controls the sound source of the peripheral control IC so that the volume corresponds to the rotation position of the volume adjustment switch, and in the sound data output process of step S1018, the output set in this sound data creation process. Sound data is output from the channel to various speakers. As a result, sounds such as music and sound effects that match various effects are played from various speakers.

Specifically, the resistance value is variable by rotating the volume control switch, and the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotation position of the volume switch is converted from an analog value to a digital value, and the value is 0 to 0. It is converted into a value of 1024 steps up to the value 1023. In the present embodiment, the value of 1024 steps is divided into seven and managed as the substrate volumes 0 to 6. The board volume 0 is set to mute, the board volume 6 is set to the maximum volume, and the volume is set to increase from the board volume 0 to the board volume 6. The sound source of the peripheral control IC is controlled so that the volume is set to the board volume 0 to 6, the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side, and the main body frame speaker 622 for the bass of the main body frame 4. Music and sound effects are played from the door. In this way, music and sound effects flow from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4 by adjusting the volume based on the rotation operation of the volume adjustment switch. It has become like.

The sound command data also includes a sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the track that incorporates the sound data, and multiple tracks in the built-in sound source of the peripheral control IC include directing sounds such as music and sound effects. In addition to the sound data and the sub-volume value that adjusts the volume, the sound data of the notification sound and its volume are adjusted to notify the clerk of the hall of the occurrence of a malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or an illegal act against the pachinko machine 1. Subvolume value to be included.

Specifically, for the production sound, the substrate volume adjusted by rotating the volume adjustment switch described above is set as the sub-volume value, and for the notification sound, the volume adjustment switch is rotated. The maximum volume is set as the sub volume value without depending on the volume adjustment based on the operation. The sub-volume value of the effect sound is a predetermined period after the power is turned on (specifically, the period until the peripheral control unit finishes the initial setting process (step S1000) and the current time setting process (step S1002)) or a special symbol display. A certain period of time (in this example, the peripheral control unit) when starting or stopping the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) on the device (first special symbol display, second special symbol display) 0.5 seconds have passed since the variation pattern command was received and 0.5 seconds have passed since the start of the variation display of the decorative symbol, and 0.5 seconds have passed since the stop display command was received by the peripheral control unit. Except for (up to)), the adjustment can be performed by operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, a predetermined period after the power is turned on (specifically, a period until the peripheral control unit finishes the initial setting process (step S1000) and the current time setting process (step S1002)). A certain period of time (in this example, the periphery) when the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is started or stopped on the special symbol display (first special symbol display, second special symbol display). 0.5 seconds after the variable pattern command is received by the control unit until 0.5 seconds have passed since the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol, or after the stop display command is received by the peripheral control unit and the decorative symbol is confirmed and displayed. By operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 except for (until seconds elapse), the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotation position of the volume adjustment switch in the sound data creation process is applied to the substrate. It is converted into 7 levels of volume 0 to 6, and further, the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotation position of the volume adjustment switch is used to operate the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300. The sub-volume value of the effect sound can be adjusted by setting the board volume by increasing or decreasing the value of the board volume by adding or subtracting a predetermined value accordingly.

The sound designation data also includes a master volume value for adjusting the volume of the output channel, and the plurality of output channels in the built-in sound source of the peripheral control IC include a plurality of multiple output channels in the built-in sound source of the peripheral control IC. Of the tracks, the sound data of the production sound incorporated in the track to be used and the sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the production sound incorporated in the track to be used are combined, and the volume of the combined production sound is calculated. Actually, the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4 are amplified to the master volume value which is the volume to flow, and the amplified production sound is serialized. It is designed to be output as audio data.

In the present embodiment, the master volume value is set to a constant value, and when the volume of the combined effect sound is the maximum volume, the master volume value is amplified to the top center speaker 462 on the door frame 3 side. , The volume flowing from the top side speaker 464 and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4 is set to be the maximum allowable volume. Specifically, for the effect sound, the sound data of the effect sound incorporated in the track to be used and the volume of the effect sound incorporated in the track to be used among a plurality of tracks in the built-in sound source of the peripheral control IC. The volume adjustment switch set as the sub-volume value to adjust is combined with the board volume adjusted by rotation operation, and the volume of this combined production sound is actually the top center on the door frame 3 side. Amplifies to the master volume value that is the volume that flows from the speaker 462, the top side speaker 464, and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4, and serializes this amplified production sound and outputs it as audio data to be used as a notification sound. On the other hand, the sound data of the notification sound incorporated in the track to be used and the volume adjustment based on the rotation operation of the volume adjustment switch set as the sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the notification sound incorporated in the track to be used. The maximum volume, which is completely independent of the above, is combined, and the volume of the combined notification sound is actually combined with the top center speaker 462 and top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body for bass of the main body frame 4. It is amplified to the master volume value which is the volume flowing from the frame speaker 622, and the amplified notification sound is serialized and output as audio data.

Here, when the production sound is flowing from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4, a malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 occurs or the pachinko machine To briefly explain the control to play the notification sound to notify the clerk of the hall of the fraudulent act against 1, first, the sub-volume value of the track in which the production sound is incorporated is forcibly set to mute, and this production sound is set to mute. The sound data of the built-in track, the sub-volume value set to mute the sound, the sound data of the track with the built-in notification sound, and the sub-volume value set to the maximum volume of the notification sound are combined. , The volume of the combined production sound and the volume of the notification sound are actually the volume flowing from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for the bass of the main body frame 4. The master volume value is amplified, and the amplified production sound and notification sound are serialized and output as audio data. That is, as for the sound actually flowing from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4, only the maximum volume notification sound flows. At this time, since the production sound is muted, the production sound does not flow from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4, but the production sound is described above. It is proceeding according to the schedule data for sound generation.

In the present embodiment, the notification sound flows from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4 for a predetermined period (for example, 90 seconds). After this predetermined period has elapsed, the volume of the effect sound that has been progressing according to the sound generation schedule data forcibly set to mute is subordinated to the board volume adjusted by rotating the volume adjustment switch. It is set again as a volume value (at this time, if the volume of the effect sound is adjusted by operating the rotation operation unit 302 or the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300, the sub of the adjusted effect sound. The volume value is set), and the sound flows from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side, and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4.

In this way, when the production sound is flowing from the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker 622 for the bass of the main body frame 4, a malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 occurs or pachinko When a notification sound is played to notify the clerk of the hall of an illegal act against the machine 1, the volume of the production sound is muted and the notification sound is the top center speaker 462 and the top side speaker 464 on the door frame 3 side, and the main body frame. Although it flows from the main body frame speaker 622 for low-pitched sound of 4, the muted production sound is proceeding according to the sound generation schedule data, so that the notification sound has passed a predetermined period and the top center speaker on the door frame 3 side. When the 462, the top side speaker 464, and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4 stop flowing, the production sound does not start to flow again from the place where the notification sound starts to flow, but the notification sound starts to flow for a predetermined period. It starts to flow again from the point where it progresses according to the schedule data for sound generation until the time has passed.

In addition, the notification sound and notification sound flow without depending on the volume adjustment based on the rotation operation of the volume adjustment switch, and the CPU of the peripheral control IC peripherally controls the volume from mute to the maximum volume by a program. The sound source of the IC can be controlled and adjusted. The volume adjusted by this program can be smoothly changed from mute to maximum volume. For example, even when a staff member such as a clerk in a game hall rotates a volume control switch to set the volume low, the production sounds such as music and sound effects played from various speakers are reduced, but the pachinko machine 1 is used. When a problem occurs or when the player is cheating, a notification sound set to a loud volume (maximum volume in the present embodiment) can be played. Therefore, even if the volume of the effect sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the staff such as the clerk of the game hall from being less likely to notice the occurrence of a problem or the cheating of the player due to the notification sound.

Following step S1032, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs a backup process (step S1034). In this backup process, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC are copied to the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC for backup, and the contents stored in the SDRAM are provided in the SDRAM. Copy to the backup area for routine processing and back up.

Following step S1034, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the WDT clear process (step S1036). In this WDT clear processing, a clear signal is output to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset.

Following step S1036, the CPU of the peripheral control IC sets the value 0 in the steady processing flag SP-FLG as the execution of the peripheral control unit steady processing is completed (step S1038), returns to step S1004 again, and detects the V blank signal. A value 0 is set in the flag VB-FLG for initialization, and the determination in step S1006 is repeated until a value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing described later. That is, in step S1006, it waits until the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, and when it is determined in step S1006 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1, steps S1008 to step S1006. The process of S1038 is performed, and the process returns to step S1004 again. As described above, when it is determined in step S1006 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, the processes of steps S1008 to S1038 are performed. The processing of steps S1008 to S1038 is referred to as "peripheral control unit steady processing".

In this peripheral control unit steady processing, first, it is assumed that the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed in step S1008, and a value 1 is set in the steady processing flag SP-FLG. In step S1010, the 1 ms interrupt timer activation process is performed. Then, each process of step S1014, ..., And step S1036 is performed, and finally, in step S1038, when the steady processing flag SP-FLG is set to a value 0 as the execution of the peripheral control unit steady processing is completed, the process is completed. Become. The peripheral control unit steady processing is executed when the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1 in step S1006. As described above, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the CPU of the peripheral control IC can be received from the VDP of the peripheral control IC to the peripheral control IC. The value 1 is set in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt process, which will be described later, which is executed when the data is input to the CPU. In the present embodiment, the frame frequency of the effect display device 1600 (the number of screen updates per second) is set to approximately 30 fps per second as described above, so that the interval at which the V blank signal is input is approximately 33. It is .3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed about every 33.3 ms.

[15-2. Peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing is executed when a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the CPU of the peripheral control IC can be accepted is input from the VDP of the peripheral control IC. Will be described. When the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, as shown in FIG. 239 (step S1045). As described above, the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit stationary processing in steps S1008 to S1038 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 238 is being executed, and the peripheral control unit steady-state. The value is set to 0 when the processing is completed.

In the determination in step S1045, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when it is determined that the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is being executed, this is performed as it is. End the routine. On the other hand, in the determination in step S1045, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the steady processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that the peripheral control unit steady processing has been executed, the V blank signal detection flag VB -The value 1 is set in FLG (step S1050), and this routine ends. As described above, this V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing, and has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed, and peripheral control. The value is set to 0 when the steady processing is not executed.

In the present embodiment, in the determination of step S1045, it is determined whether or not the constant processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, that is, whether or not the peripheral control unit stationary processing has been executed, and the peripheral control unit stationary processing is executed. When completed, the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in step S1050, but this is because the V blank signal is input while the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed. When the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, it is assumed that the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed in the determination of step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 238, and the peripheral control unit steady processing currently being executed is executed. Since the processing is forcibly canceled in the middle and the peripheral control unit steady processing is started from the beginning, for the purpose of preventing this, step S1008 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) in FIG. 238. By setting the value 1 to the flag SP-FLG during steady processing in, the peripheral control unit stationary processing is being executed, which is notified to the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which is this routine, and the peripheral control in FIG. 238. Peripheral control unit, which is this routine, indicates that the peripheral control unit steady processing has been executed by setting the value 0 to the steady processing flag SP-FLG in step S1038 in the unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing). By transmitting to the V blank signal interrupt processing, whether or not the constant processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0 in the determination of step S1045 in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which is this routine, that is, the peripheral control unit stationary processing Is designed to determine whether or not the execution has been completed. In other words, it is a measure when the peripheral control unit steady processing cannot be completed by the time the V blank signal is input and the next V blank signal is input, so-called processing failure.

As a result, in the peripheral control unit steady processing this time, if the processing cannot be completed in about 33.3 ms and the processing fails, the next time is determined by step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 238. It is in a state of waiting until the V blank signal of is input. That is, the time for executing the current peripheral control unit steady processing that has failed the processing is about 66.6 ms. Normally, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, is repeatedly executed every time the 1ms interrupt timer is activated by starting the 1ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) in FIG. 238. Is executed only 32 times for one peripheral control unit steady processing, but if the above-mentioned processing failure this time peripheral control unit steady processing exists, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is 64 times. It is designed to be executed only 32 times. That is, even if the peripheral control unit steady processing fails, the consistency between the production progress state by the peripheral control unit steady processing and the production progress state by the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, which is the timer interrupt control, is consistent. It is designed not to collapse. Therefore, even if the peripheral control unit steady processing fails, the progress state of the effect can be reliably matched.

[15-3. Peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing that is repeatedly executed every time the 1ms interrupt timer is generated by the activation of the 1ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 238 will be described. .. When the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33 times as shown in FIG. 240 (step S1100). As described above, the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is determined by the 1 ms interrupt timer activation process in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process of the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. A peripheral control unit 1ms timer A counter that counts the number of times interrupt processing is executed. In the present embodiment, the frame frequency of the effect display device 1600 (the number of screen updates per second) is set to approximately 30 fps per second as described above, so that the interval at which the V blank signal is input is approximately 33. It is .3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, since the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed about every 33.3 ms, after the 1 ms interrupt timer is started in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process, the next peripheral control unit steady process is executed. Is executed, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is executed only 32 times. Specifically, when the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, the first 1 ms timer interrupt is generated first, the second, ..., And the 32nd 1 ms timer interrupt is sequentially performed. It will occur.

In the determination of step S1100, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not smaller than 33 times, that is, the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt occurs and the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is started. When it is determined, this routine is terminated as it is. When the occurrence of the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, in the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing has the peripheral control unit V as the priority of the interrupt processing. Although it is set higher than the blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. In other words, in the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is the signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, when the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, , The start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled in order to execute the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing. Then, after the 1ms interrupt timer is restarted in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing due to the generation of the first 1ms timer interrupt is newly started. ing.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S1100, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33, the CPU of the peripheral control IC adds a value 1 to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN (increment, step S1102). By adding the value 1 to the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN, the 1ms interrupt timer is activated in the 1ms interrupt timer activation processing of step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 238. The number of times the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, which is this routine, is executed is increased by one time.

Following step S1102, a motor and solenoid drive process is performed (step S1104). In this motor and solenoid drive processing, the pointer indicates the drive data of the electric drive sources such as the motor and the solenoid arranged in time series constituting the electric drive source schedule data set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. The pointer is updated to the next drive data specified in time series while driving an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid according to the drive data to be performed, and the pointer is updated each time the motor or solenoid drive process is executed. To do. As a result, an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid managed by the CPU of the peripheral control IC (for example, an electric drive source provided in the door frame 3 or an electric drive source provided in various production units provided in the game board 5). ) Is driven according to the electrical drive source schedule data.

Following step S1104, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the movable body information acquisition process (step S1106). In this movable body information acquisition process, history information of detection signals from various sensors (for example, original) is determined by determining whether or not detection signals from various sensors provided in various production units provided on the game board 5 are input. (Position history information, movable position history information, etc.) are created and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. The CPU of the peripheral control IC is the original position (standby position) of various movable bodies provided in the various production units provided on the game board 5 based on the history information of the detection signals from the various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. The movable position is grasped by setting or acquiring the movable position.

Following step S1106, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the effect operation unit information acquisition process (step S1108). In this effect operation unit information acquisition process, history information of detection signals from various sensors (for example, rotation operation unit) is determined by determining whether or not detection signals from various sensors provided in the effect operation unit 300 are input. (Rotation direction) history information of 302, operation history information of the pressing operation unit 303, etc.) are created and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. From the history information of the detection signals from various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC, the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302 and the operation presence / absence of the pressing operation unit 303 can be acquired. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the volume of the production sound output from the vibration speaker 354, the top center speaker 462, the top side speaker 464, and the main body frame speaker 622 of the main body frame 4 by operating the effect operation unit 301. It is possible to adjust the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative boards provided in the door frame 3 and the game board 5.

Following step S1108, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs a backup process (step S1110) and ends this routine. In this backup process, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC are copied to the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC and backed up, and the contents stored in the SDRAM are transferred to the SDRAM. Copy to the backup area for 1ms timer interrupt processing provided and back up. In the present embodiment, the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC and the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC are set in different areas and are set in different areas and are SDRAM. The 1 ms timer interrupt processing backup area provided in the SDRAM and the steady processing backup area provided in the SDRAM are set in different areas.

As described above, in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, various processes related to the effect of steps S1104 to S1108 are executed as the progress of the effect within the period of 1 ms. On the other hand, in the peripheral control unit steady processing in the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 238, various processes related to the production of steps S1014 to S1032 are executed as the progress of the production within a period of about 33.3 ms. There is. In the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, when the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not smaller than the value 33 in step S1100, that is, when the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt occurs and the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is started. Since this routine is terminated as it is, even if the occurrence of the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, the peripheral control unit due to this 33rd 1ms timer interrupt Peripheral control by forcibly canceling the start of the 1 ms timer interrupt process, restarting the 1 ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process due to the generation of the V blank signal, and then newly generating the 1 ms timer interrupt. Part 1ms timer interrupt processing is started. That is, the consistency between the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit steady processing and the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, which is the timer interrupt control, is not broken. Therefore, the progress state of the production can be surely matched.

Further, as described above, the interval at which the V blank signal is output varies slightly depending on the liquid crystal size of the effect display device 1600, and the V blank signal is also generated in the production lot of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the peripheral control IC is mounted. The output interval may change slightly. In the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, if the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, peripheral control is performed. In order to execute the part V blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. That is, in the present embodiment, even if the interval at which the V blank signal is output changes slightly, the start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. It is possible to absorb the time lag due to a slight change in the interval at which the V blank signal is output.

[15-4. Peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 will be described. When the CPU of the peripheral control IC starts transmitting various commands from the main control board 1310 as serial data, the CPU of the peripheral control IC takes this as an opportunity to send 1 byte (8 bits) of the main peripheral serial data to the serial I / O port of the peripheral control IC. ) Is fetched into the receive buffer, and when this fetching is completed, an interrupt is generated as a trigger, and peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is performed. In the main peripheral serial data, one packet is composed of 3 bytes, the status is assigned as the 1st byte, the mode is assigned as the 2nd byte, and the status and mode are regarded as numerical values as the 3rd byte and the total. The calculated sum value is assigned.

When the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the 1-byte reception period timer has timed out, as shown in FIG. 241 (step S1200). This 1-byte reception period timer sets a period during which 1-byte (8-bit) information of the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 can be received.

In the determination in step S1200, the CPU of the peripheral control IC outputs 1 byte (8 bits) of information when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out, that is, among the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310. When it is determined that the data can be received, the 1-byte information received from the reception buffer of the serial I / O port of the peripheral control IC is taken in (step S1202), and the value 1 is added (incremented) to the reception counter SRXC. Step S1204). This reception counter SRXC is a counter that indicates the number of times the data has been fetched from the receive buffer, and when the status that is the first byte of the main cycle serial data is fetched from the receive buffer, the value is 1, and the mode that is the second byte of the main cycle serial data When it is taken out from the receive buffer, it becomes a value 2, and when the sum value which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data is taken out from the receive buffer, it becomes a value 3. The initial value 0 of the reception counter SRXC is set when the power is turned on or the like.

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

In the determination of step S1206, the CPU of the peripheral control IC is in a mode in which the reception counter SRXC is not a value 3, that is, the status is the first byte of the main peripheral serial data, and the CPU is still the second byte of the main peripheral serial data. Then, when it is determined that the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data, has not been sequentially fetched from the reception buffer, the 1-byte reception period timer is set (step S1208), and this routine is terminated. By setting the 1-byte reception period timer in step S1208, the mode in which the second byte of the main cycle serial data or the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data can be received is set.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S1206, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines when the reception counter SRXC has a value of 3, that is, in the second byte of the main peripheral serial data following the status of the first byte of the main peripheral serial data. When it is determined that the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data, is sequentially taken out from the reception buffer in a certain mode, the initial value 0 is set in the reception counter SRXC (step S1210), and the sum value is calculated (step). S1212). In this calculation, the status which is the first byte of the main peripheral serial data and the mode which is the second byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202 are regarded as numerical values, and the total (sum value). ) Is calculated.

Following step S1212, it is determined whether or not the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already fetched from the receive buffer in step S1202, and the sum value calculated in step S1212 match (step). S1214). The thumb value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202, is the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main peripheral serial data among the main peripheral serial data from the main control board 1310. Therefore, it should match the sum value calculated in step S1212. However, in the pachinko machine 1, game balls are supplied from the island equipment of the game hall, and when the game balls rub against each other and become charged, they are electrostatically discharged and generate noise. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 is affected by noise. It is in a vulnerable environment.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, on the peripheral control board 1510 side, the status allocated as the first byte of the received main peripheral serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main peripheral serial data are regarded as numerical values. The total (sum value) is calculated, and whether the calculated sum value matches the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main circumference serial data in the main circumference serial data from the main control board 1310. It is judged whether or not. As a result, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the main peripheral serial data has changed to the main peripheral serial data different from the normal one due to the influence of noise between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510. Can be determined.

In the determination in step S1214, the CPU of the peripheral control IC matches the sum value which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202 and the sum value calculated in step S1212. When it is determined, the received status allocated as the first byte of the main peripheral serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main peripheral serial data are stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC (step S1216). ), End this routine.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S1200, the CPU of the peripheral control IC has 1 byte (8 bits) of the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out. When it is determined that the period during which information can be received has been exceeded, or in the determination in step S1214, the CPU of the peripheral control IC has a sum value which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the reception buffer in step S1202. When it is determined that the sum value calculated in step S1212 does not match, this routine is terminated as it is.

[15-5. Peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process, which is executed when the power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 is input from the main control board 1310, will be described. When the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC first activates a 2-microsecond timer (step S1300) as shown in FIG. 242, and whether or not the power failure warning signal is input. (Step S1302). In the determination in step S1302, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the power failure warning signal has not been input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC ends this routine as it is.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S1302, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not 2 microseconds have elapsed (step S1304). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the timer started in step S1300 has elapsed 2 microseconds. In the determination of step S1304, when 2 macroseconds have not elapsed, the CPU of the peripheral control IC returns to step S1302, determines whether or not the power failure warning signal has been input, and if the power failure warning signal has not been input. When it is determined, this routine is terminated as it is, and when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, it is determined again in step S1304 whether or not 2 microseconds have elapsed. That is, in the determination in step S1304, it is determined whether or not the power failure warning signal is continuously input for 2 microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing, which is the routine, is started.

In the determination in step S1304, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the power failure warning signal has been continuously input for 2 microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process, which is the routine, is started, the power saving process is performed. (Step S1306). In this power saving process, the power consumption of the entire system of the pachinko machine 1 is reduced by sequentially turning off the backlight of the effect display device 1600, turning off the excitation to the motor and solenoid provided on the game board 5, turning off various LEDs, and the like. By suppressing the power, stable operation is ensured for a period of 20 milliseconds, which is the time during which the CPU of the peripheral control IC can operate even if the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off.

Following step S1306, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs command reception standby processing (step S1308). In this command reception standby process, assuming that there are various commands being transmitted by the main control board 1310, the command being transmitted can be received by the peripheral control IC for a period of at least 17 milliseconds. It is supposed to wait. When the command is received, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process described above is started, and the received command is stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC.

Following step S1308, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs command backup processing (step S1310). In the backup process of this command, the command stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC is copied to the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC for backup.

Following step S1310, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S1312). In the determination in step S1312, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the WDT clear process (step S1314). In this WDT clear process, a clear signal is output to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S1312, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the power failure warning signal has not been input, or after step S1314, returns to step S1312 again to determine whether or not the power failure warning signal has been input. Is determined. That is, it is infinitely determined whether or not the power failure warning signal is input. By continuing the determination indefinitely in this way, in the determination in step S1312, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the power failure warning signal has not been input, the clear signal cannot be output to the external WDT. While the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the power failure warning signal has been input in the determination of step S1312, the WDT clear process is performed in step S1314 to perform the WDT clear processing of the peripheral control IC. The CPU does not reset. When the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset, the peripheral control unit power-on processing shown in FIG. 238 is restarted.

In this way, when the input of the power failure warning signal continues in the infinite loop according to the determination in step S1312, the WDT clear process is executed in step S1314 to reset the CPU of the peripheral control IC immediately before the power failure state. It is designed not to take. On the other hand, if the input of the power failure warning signal is not continued and canceled in the infinite loop in the determination in step S1312, the WDT clear process is not executed, so that the output of the clear signal to the external WDT is interrupted. It has become. As a result, even if the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process, which is this routine, is erroneously started due to noise or the like, and the noise is generated beyond the period of 2 microseconds, the determination in step S1302 is passed. If the input of the power failure warning signal is not continued and is canceled in the infinite loop by the determination by S1312, the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset because the WDT clear process in step S1314 is not executed. It is possible to deal with such noise by automatically resetting and returning.

According to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment described above, the game can be performed, the main control board 1310 in FIG. 212 as the game control board, the peripheral control board 1510 in FIG. 213 as the effect control board, and the control power supply creating unit. It is provided with a control power supply creating circuit 1510z of the peripheral control board 1510 of FIG. 213, and a + 12V fuse SF12 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 of FIG. 213 as a current blocking unit.

The main control board 1310 can control the progress of the game. The peripheral control board 1510 has a CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a of FIG. 213 as a central processing unit that controls the progress of the effect. The control power supply creation circuit 1510z of the peripheral control board 1510 can create + 3.3 V as a control power supply to be supplied to the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a. The + 12V fuse SF12 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 can block a current (abnormal current) exceeding a predetermined upper limit.

As shown in FIG. 212, + 12V, which is the power supply used for the main control board 1310, is not supplied through the fuse which is a current blocking part such as the + 12V fuse SF12 provided on the peripheral control board 1510, and is not supplied to the peripheral control board 1510. + 12V, which is the power source used for the above, is supplied through the + 12V fuse SF12 provided on the peripheral control board 1510.

It is supplied to the control power supply creation circuit 1510z of the peripheral control board 1510 to create the + 12V power supply used for the main control board 1310, the + 12V power supply used for the peripheral control board 1510, and the + 3.3V power supply used for the control power supply. + 12V, which is the power supply to be supplied, has the same potential.

In this way, the + 12V power supply used for the main control board 1310, the + 12V power supply used for the peripheral control board 1510, and the control supplied to the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a, which is a central processing device for controlling the progress of the effect. Although + 12V, which is the power supply supplied to the control power supply creation circuit 1510z of the peripheral control board 1510 to create + 3.3V, which is the power supply, has the same potential, the power supply used for the main control board 1310. Since a certain + 12V is not supplied through the fuse which is a current blocking part, and + 12V which is a power source used for the peripheral control board 1510 is supplied through the + 12V fuse SF12 provided on the peripheral control board 1510, it is tentatively peripheral. An abnormal current flows through + 12V, which is the power supply used for the control board 1510, and the abnormal current is blocked by the + 12V fuse SF12 provided on the peripheral control board 1510, so that the control power supply creation circuit of the peripheral control board 1510 is blocked. Even if the peripheral control board 1510 stops the progress of the effect because the control power supply of + 3.3 V supplied to the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a, which is the central processing device, cannot be created, the influence of the abnormal current on the peripheral control board 1510 is stopped. However, it is possible to suppress the extension to the important main control board 1310 that controls the progress of the game. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the stoppage of the progress of the game due to the abnormal current.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game can be performed, the main control board 1310 of FIG. 212 is used as the game control board, the peripheral control board 1510 of FIG. 213 is used as the effect control board, and the control power supply creating unit is shown. It is provided with a control power supply creating circuit 1510z of the peripheral control board 1510 of 213, and a + 12V fuse SF12 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 of FIG. 213 as a current blocking unit.

The main control board 1310 can control the progress of the game. The peripheral control board 1510 has a CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a of FIG. 213 as a central processing unit that controls the progress of the effect. The control power supply creation circuit 1510z of the peripheral control board 1510 can create + 3.3 V as a control power supply to be supplied to the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a. The + 12V fuse SF12 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 can block a current (abnormal current) exceeding a predetermined upper limit.
