In this pachinko game machine, as described above, when a prize is won in the drum starting port 3a or 3b of the game board 2, the pulse motor 13 is rotated by a preprogrammed number of pulses upon detection thereof. To do.

When the pulse transmission is stopped, the pulse motor
13 is stopped up to a position where the number of pulses sent out with reference to the sensor reading unit 12 has passed, and the pattern 11 of the rotating drum 10 at this time is aligned, for example, in the electric accessory 2, the horizontal 1
It is a prize that the same symbols 11 are lined up in a row or diagonally.

Next, a device for controlling the rotation of the pulse motor 13 and the blinking control of the lamp 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

In the figure, 12 is the above-mentioned sensor reading unit, 24 is a winning detection switch that sends an output when it detects that the drum starting port 3a, 3b is won, 25 sends a winning output with a certain probability, or a winning state , ROM for sending the blinking output of the lamp 9 according to the reach state and the normal state, and further for outputting the music output according to the hit state, the reach state, and the normal state, 26 is RAM, 27 is FIG. It is a control circuit that performs an operation as shown in the flowchart of FIG.

The operation will be described below. When the power is turned on, the control circuit 27 sends a command for displaying that the rotary drum 10 is stopped (for example, all the lights of the lamp 9 are turned off or they are sequentially blinked for each column). Yes (step S1). In this state, the control circuit 27 monitors whether or not a prize has been won in the drum start opening (step S2), and when detecting that the prize detection switch 24 has operated, sends a command for generating a prize sound (step S3). . At the same time, a rotation command and a speed command are sent to each pulse motor 13 (step S4) to rotate the pulse motor 13. At the same time as the rotation of the pulse motors 13, a timer for stopping each pulse motor 13 is started (step S5). Then, an indication that the rotating drum 10 is rotating (for example, all the lamps 19 are turned on with half the brightness. Here, the brightness of the lamps 19 is halved in order to reduce the heat generation of the lamps 19. Yes) (step S6).

Although each rotary drum 10 is rotating in this state,
The control circuit 27 monitors whether the time by the stop timer has elapsed (step S7), and when the time has elapsed, determines the stop position of each pulse motor 13 from the random number table in the ROM 25 (step S8). Then, based on this determination, a stop command is sent to the first (for example, left-handed) pulse motor 13 (step S9), and at the same time, a sound for stopping the rotary drum 10 is generated (step S10). After sending this stop command, the control circuit 27 monitors whether or not the left-side pulse motor 13 has stopped (step S11), and when it is confirmed that the pulse motor 13 has stopped, the second (for example, right-side) pulse motor 13 A stop command is sent to 13 (step S12), and at the same time, a sound for stopping the rotary drum 10 is generated (step S13). After sending this stop command, the control circuit 27 monitors whether or not the right edge pulse motor 13 has stopped (step S14). After sending the stop command to the second rotating drum 10, the control circuit 27 determines whether the stop state determined by the random number table is reach (step S15).

In this determination, when the control circuit 27 determines that it is not in the reach state, it displays that the rotating drum 10 is rotating (step S16). When it is determined that the reach state is reached, the reach state is displayed (for example, only the lamp 19 corresponding to the stopped symbols on the left and right is blinking) (step S17) and a sound indicating that the reach state is given. Output for generation is sent (step S18).

Then, after the above-described operation is performed, a stop command is sent to the third (for example, central) pulse motor 13 at the same time as a command to reduce the rotation speed (step S19), and the rotary drum 10 is stopped. A sound is generated (step S20). Next, the control circuit 27 controls the third rotary drum 1
It is monitored whether 0 is stopped (step S21), and when it is determined that the drum is in a stopped state, a sound for stopping the rotating drum 10 is generated (step S22). After that, the control circuit 27 determines whether or not it is in a hit state (a state in which the three rotating drums 10 hit the symbols in one row in the lateral direction or the diagonal direction) (step S23). If it is determined in this determination that it is in the disconnected state, the display of the disconnected state (for example, all the lamps 19 are turned off) is performed (step S24), and the output for generating the sound indicating the disconnected state is sent ( Then, it is monitored whether or not the disengagement operation is completed (step S26). When the disengagement operation is completed, the music stop operation, which is step S30 described later, is performed.

Further, the control circuit 27 is in the above-described winning state (a predetermined winning is made in the expanded winning opening and is opened a predetermined number of times).
When it is determined whether or not it is a hit state in the determination of whether or not it is a hit (for example, the lamp 19 corresponding to the hit pattern is released from the half luminance and blinks at a bright luminance) (step S27) A sound indicating that it is in a hit state is generated (step S28). Next, it is monitored whether or not the hitting motion is completed (step S29), and if it is judged that the hitting motion is completed, the music stopping motion is started (step S30).

Then, following the step S30, the step S
It returns to 1 and repeats the above-mentioned operation.

Further, when the lamp 19 is disconnected and does not light up, the support plate 14 is removed from the guide groove 22a and the support recess 22b of the case 21 on the back surface side of the game board 2, and the printed board mounted on the support plate 14 is removed. 16 is exposed, so base 20
The lamp 19 can be removed from the printed circuit board 16 by rotating the ridge 20a so that the protrusion 20a is aligned with the recess 18a.

Then, the new lamp 19 can be attached to the printed circuit board 16 by the operation reverse to the above, whereby the broken lamp 19 can be replaced.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the present invention is an electric accessory of a pachinko game machine that competes for a prize by a combination of the patterns of the rotating drums. In the electric drum of the pachinko game machine, external light rays are reflected by the front glass of the pachinko game machine. Even if the pattern is difficult to see, the semi-transparent pattern shines brightly and its visibility can be improved.

Moreover, since the display state of the lamp of the lamp case is made different depending on the stopped state, the rotating state, the reach state and the hitting state of the rotary drum, the display state of the lamp is changed in the normal rotating state, the reach state and the hitting state. By doing so, it is possible to strongly display the winnings and increase the visibility at that time,
The shine makes it easy to attract attention, and the motivation to play with this pachinko game machine can be increased to improve the operation rate.

Moreover, when the lamp in the rotary drum that illuminates the design of the rotary drum runs out, insert the hand between the rotary drums by pulling out the support plate together with the rotary drum and the motor from the case on the back surface of the game board. Instead, since the lamp can be replaced, the replacement work is easy.
