Description

  The present invention belongs to the technical field of ball game machines.

Pachinko machines, which are a kind of bullet ball game machine, are classified into one type, two types, and three types depending on the so-called jackpot generation conditions and differences in the form of jackpot games.
In one type of conventional pachinko machine, a big hit occurs due to the random number extracted due to the game ball entering the start opening being a predetermined value, and when a big hit occurs, the game control board hits the big hit The jackpot game was performed by executing the control and continuously opening the big prize opening.

  In addition, in two types of pachinko machines, the special winning opening is opened due to the entry of the game ball into the starting opening, and the gaming ball that has entered the large winning opening during the opening is specified in the special winning opening. A jackpot is generated when the game passes through the area, and when the jackpot is generated, the game control board executes the jackpot control to continuously open the jackpot, and the jackpot game is performed.

  At this time, for the 1st and 2nd types of pachinko machines, since the jackpot generation, that is, the start of the jackpot game, there is only a very short time from the jackpot occurrence until the jackpot game is started, this jackpot occurs Therefore, the period when the jackpot game has not started cannot be used.

  In addition, in the conventional three types of pachinko machines, if the random number extracted due to the game ball entering a specific winning opening or a specific gate is a predetermined value (winning lottery win) A big hit game occurs in which a big hit occurs when a game ball that has entered a normal electric accessory during the opening passes a specific area in the normal electric accessory, and the big winning opening is continuously opened. However, if the game ball does not pass through a specific area in the ordinary electric accessory, no big win is generated.

At this time, for the three types of pachinko machines, the jackpot game does not start immediately after winning the lottery. It is in a state where a special game of passing through a specific area in a normal electric accessory is performed during that period, but the hit is effective and the jackpot game is not started before the special game It cannot be used for anything other than games.

  In this bullet ball game machine, the big hit state occurs on condition that the random number extracted due to the game ball entering the start opening is a predetermined value. In order to perform the jackpot control in which the game control board continuously opens the big winning opening, that is, in order to execute the big hit game, it is indispensable to enter the big hit control operating hole in the big hit state.

  In other words, although the jackpot generation conditions are the same as those of the conventional type 1 pachinko machine, the jackpot game is not executed unless the ball hits the jackpot control opening, so it takes time from the jackpot occurrence to the start of the jackpot game. You can create a margin.

  With a conventional type 1 pachinko machine, when a big hit occurs, although some time is spent on so-called opening production etc., the big prize opening is immediately opened for a predetermined time, and the big prize opening is awarded within this limited time, Moreover, since the continuous opening does not continue unless the ball is entered into the specific area in the big winning opening, the player suffers a disadvantage due to time constraints or is hurried.

  However, in the bullet ball game machine of claim 1, even if a big hit occurs, the big prize opening is not opened unless the big hit control operating hole is entered, so the opening timing of the big prize opening can be freely set by the player's intention. You can choose. For this reason, it is possible to secure a sufficient time for replenishment when the number of game balls on hand is small. It is also possible to open the grand prize opening after taking a break after the jackpot. That is, it is possible to preferably solve the problem that the player suffers a disadvantage or is urged due to time constraints.

  The jackpot control operating port for starting the jackpot game is not in the variable winning device that cannot be entered if it is closed, for example, but in a position where it can be entered by launching the game ball aiming Since it is provided as a mouth or a passage opening, unlike the case where it is provided in the variable winning device, it is not restricted by the opening time or the number of balls that are the closing conditions of the variable winning device.

  At that time, the notification means notifies that the jackpot state has occurred but the jackpot control (that is, the jackpot game) has not started yet, so there is no possibility that the player will forget to aim at the jackpot control operating port. The game using the period in which the jackpot game has occurred but the jackpot game has not started can be realized.

  Further, as described above, the bullet ball game machine according to claim 1 includes a game control board, a prize ball control board, a sub control board for image control, a sub control board for performing sound effect output control or electrical decoration control, As shown in FIG. 13, the game control board (30) is connected to the relay board (37) not equipped with the CPU and the prize ball control board (31), and the CPU among the sub-control boards. Is connected to the game control board (30) via the relay board (37) as the first sub-control board (33) as the sub-control board (33) in the illustrated example. In addition, the other sub-control boards (the sound effect control board 34 and the illumination control board 35 in the illustrated example) are connected to the first-order sub-control board (33) as the second-order sub-control boards (34, 35). Is done.

  For communication between these control boards, the prize ball control board (31) includes a communication circuit (either unidirectional or bidirectional) that receives data related to winning from the game control board (30), and the relay board (37). ) And the game control board (30) are connected with a one-way communication circuit that does not transmit data from the relay board (37) to the game control board (30), and the first sub-control board (33) is connected to the game control board (30). For connection to the relay board (37), a one-way communication circuit that does not transmit data from the first sub-control board (33) to the relay board (37) is used, and the first sub-control board (33). Includes a communication circuit for bidirectionally communicating data with the second sub-control board (34, 35), and the second sub-control board (34, 35) is the first sub-control board (33). ) And a communication circuit for bidirectional data communication There.

  The game control board (30) and the first sub-control board (33) are connected via the relay board (37), but the relay board (37) is a board on which no CPU is mounted, and the game control board. Any substrate that mediates between (30) and the first sub-control substrate (33) may be used, and is a substrate that does not process data even if noise removal or signal conversion is performed.

  Communication between the game control board (30) and the relay board (37) is a one-way communication from the game control board (30) to the relay board (37), and the relay board (37) and the first sub-control board. Communication with (33) is one-way communication from the relay board (37) to the first sub-control board (33).

  In order to realize such one-way communication, the game control board (30) is provided with a one-way communication circuit such as an inverter, a buffer, or a latch circuit as a communication circuit with the relay board (37). The relay board (37) is also provided with a similar one-way communication circuit, and the first sub-control board (33) is also provided with a similar one-way communication circuit for communication with the relay board (37). ing. In addition, if such a one-way communication circuit is not provided on each of the game control board (30), the relay board (37), and the first sub-control board (33), it is provided on any two boards. Communication from the game control board (30) to the relay board (37) and communication from the relay board (37) to the first sub-control board (33) can both be one-way communication. In other words, it is only necessary that two of the game control board (30), the relay board (37), and the first sub-control board (33) have a one-way communication circuit such as an inverter, a buffer, or a latch circuit. .

  A relay board (37) without a CPU is interposed between the first sub-control board (33) and the game control board (30), and the game control board is connected before and after the relay board (37). Since the circuit configuration can be transmitted only to (30) from the first sub-control board (33), it is difficult to perform fraud and it is easy to find fraud. That is, in order to perform an illegal act from the first sub-control board (33) to the game control board (30), it is necessary to perform an illegal act on the double one-way communication circuit, This is because since the board (37) is a board on which no CPU is mounted, a fraudulent act directly from the relay board (37) is easily detected.

  More specifically, in order to perform an illegal act from the first sub control board (33) to the game control board (30), the first sub control board (33) to the game control board (30). It becomes necessary to perform wiring to transmit to the network. However, since the game control board (30) and the first sub-control board (33) are connected via the relay board (37), the first sub-control is not provided via the relay board (37). The wiring in which the board (33) and the game control board (30) are connected can be considered to be due to fraud.

Conventionally, even a one-way communication circuit has not been routed through a relay board, and thus it has not been easy to find wiring due to fraud.
On the other hand, it is conceivable to play an illegal game with respect to the game control board (30) by wiring from the relay board (37) by an illegal act. However, since the relay board (37) is configured as a board on which the CPU is not mounted, unauthorized modification can be easily found.

In addition, the game control board (30) sends a notification command signal to the relay board (37) via the relay board (37) for informing that the jackpot state has occurred but the jackpot control is not started. The sub-control board (33) for image control that has transmitted to the connected first sub-control board (33) and received the notification command signal, or the sub-control board (34) that performs sound effect output control or electrical decoration control , 35) is a configuration for generating notification data based on the notification command signal and performing notification as notification means in accordance with the generated data. For example, the sub-control board (33) for image control receives the notification command received. By generating the notification image data for the image based on the signal and displaying the generated notification image on the image display device, a big win has occurred in the winning lottery. Perform a notification of it is a start.

  Similarly, the second sub-control board (34, 35) that has received the notification command signal generates notification data for sound effects, and notifies the same meaning by voice in parallel with the display by the image display device. The sub-control board (34, 35) that performs sound effect output control or illumination control generates notification data for illumination based on the notification command signal, and is parallel to the display by the image display device. In addition, it is also possible to make a configuration in which notification is made by lighting or flashing of the illumination. Of course, the same notification may be performed for all of the image, sound, and illumination.

  Alternatively, the first sub-control board that receives the notification command signal generates notification image data, notification data for sound effects, and notification data for electrical decoration, and any one of these, for example, notification image data is used by itself. The other data may be transmitted to the second sub-control board and notified by each.

  Since the first sub-control board is only required to be a sub-control board with a CPU, the sub-control board that performs sound effect output control or illumination control has a CPU. For example, this can be used as the first sub-control board.

  That is, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the sound effect control board (34) is the first sub-control board, and the image control board (33) and the illumination control board (35) are the second sub-control board. Good. Although not shown, the illumination control board (35) may be the first sub-control board, and the image control board (33) and the sound effect control board (35) may be the second sub-control board. .

  In addition, the sub-control board (34) for controlling the sound effect output, the sub-control board (35) for performing the illumination control, and the separate boards are not used, but these functions are integrated into one sub-control board. It is good also as an electrical decoration control board.

  The data indicating the result of the lottery determination may be in any form that allows the image control sub-control board (image control board 33) that has received the data to be determined whether or not it hits. The change start command may be transmitted including the data to be specified and the data indicating that it is a hit, and if it is off, only the data specifying the change time may be included in the change start command and transmitted. In the case of deviation, the data specifying the fluctuation time and the data indicating the deviation are included in the fluctuation start command and transmitted, and in the case of hitting, only the data specifying the fluctuation time is included in the fluctuation start command and transmitted. It may be.

  With a conventional type 1 pachinko machine, when a big hit occurs, although some time is spent on so-called opening production etc., the big prize opening is immediately opened for a predetermined time, and the big prize opening is awarded within this limited time, Moreover, since the continuous opening does not continue unless the ball is entered into the specific area in the big winning opening, the player suffers a disadvantage due to time constraints or is hurried.

  However, in the bullet ball game machine of claim 3, even if a big hit occurs, the big prize opening will not be opened unless it is entered into the jackpot control operation opening. You can choose. For this reason, it is possible to secure a sufficient time for replenishment when the number of game balls on hand is small. It is also possible to open the grand prize opening after taking a break after the jackpot. That is, it is possible to preferably solve the problem that the player suffers a disadvantage or is urged due to time constraints.

  The jackpot control operating port for starting the jackpot game is not in the variable winning device that cannot be entered if it is closed, for example, but in a position where it can be entered by launching the game ball aiming Since it is provided as a mouth or a passage opening, unlike the case where it is provided in the variable winning device, it is not restricted by the opening time or the number of balls that are the closing conditions of the variable winning device.

  At that time, the notification means notifies that the jackpot state has occurred but the jackpot control (that is, the jackpot game) has not started yet, so there is no possibility that the player will forget to aim at the jackpot control operating port. The game using the period in which the jackpot game has occurred but the jackpot game has not started can be realized.

Further, as described above, the bullet ball game machine according to claim 3 is a game control board, a prize ball control board, a sub control board for image control, a sub control board for performing sound effect output control or electrical decoration control, However, as illustrated in FIG. 16, the game control board (30) is connected to the prize ball control board (31), and any one of the sub control boards on which the CPU is mounted. (Image control board 33 in the illustrated example) is connected to the game control board (30) as the first sub-control board, and the first sub-control board (33) is one of the other sub-control boards. When one sub-control board (35) in the illustrated example is connected as the second sub-control board (35) and there are sub-control boards other than the first and second sub-boards, the sub-control board ( In the illustrated example, the sound effect control board 34) is all the third sub-control board ( 4) is connected to the second-largest sub-control board (35),

The ball game machine according to claims 1 to 16 is a ball ball game machine in which the player can select the time when the big winning opening is opened, but the player can select the time when the big winning opening is opened. As a machine, there is a conventional third type pachinko machine.

  However, in the case of the third type pachinko machine, the winning port which is a jackpot right generating port is not a big winning port, and the right generating port and the big winning port are separate from each other. Is completely different.

  Due to the difference in configuration, the ball ball game machine of the present invention does not need to perform an operation (so-called right-handed) to change the launch position of the game ball between when the big hit state is generated and when the big hit game is started. The effect that it is possible to effectively use the game area, and the effect that the configuration of the game board can be simplified.

In the ball and ball game machine according to claims 1 to 16 , although it is possible to aim at the jackpot control operating port, the jackpot control, that is, the jackpot game, is assumed to enter the jackpot control operating port during the jackpot state as an essential precondition. Since it is configured to start, even if a game ball enters the jackpot control operation port when it is not a jackpot state, it can be independent of the jackpot control.

  The position at which the jackpot control operation port is provided, and the position where the game ball can be entered by launching the game ball with a target may be simply a configuration such as a gate or a entrance provided on the board surface, or may be expanded. It may be provided in a variable winning device that can be changed between a state and a reduced state (can enter a ball), and there is no problem if it is provided at any position where a target can be entered.

The game control board “performs a jackpot control that continuously opens the jackpot opening on the condition that the jackpot state is indispensable” means that even if there is one game ball at the jackpot control operation port in the jackpot state If so, the jackpot control may be executed, or the jackpot control is executed only when the random number extracted due to the ball entering the jackpot control opening is a predetermined value. You can,
The jackpot control may be executed on the condition that the number of balls entering the jackpot control operating port in the jackpot state is counted and reaches a predetermined number. Further, there is no problem if the jackpot control is executed by using any other means as long as it has some relationship with the ball entering the jackpot control operating port in the jackpot state.

  “The jackpot state ends at least when the jackpot control ends” is a configuration in which the jackpot state always ends when the jackpot control ends, and the process from the occurrence of the jackpot state It may be configured to end when the time reaches a predetermined time, or may be configured to end when the number of balls entering the jackpot control operation port reaches a predetermined number. In addition, if the end condition of the jackpot state includes the condition of the end of the jackpot control, there is no problem even if it is configured to use any other means for the presence or absence of other conditions and the contents of other conditions. Absent.

  In this way, the big hit state control and the start of the big hit control (big hit game) are related to each other and the cause of the operation is separated, so that the big hit control, which was not found in the conventional ball game machine, is started. A game period for the purpose can be created, and a new game can be given.

In addition, in the bullet ball game machine according to claims 1 to 16 , the configuration described below can be adopted.
First, the jackpot control can be started on condition that the random number extracted due to the ball entering the jackpot control operating port during the jackpot state is a predetermined value.

In this case, the jackpot control is not necessarily started by one ball entering the jackpot control operating port, so it is possible to enhance the interest for starting the jackpot control.
Also, with this configuration, it is necessary to adjust the entrance rate to the jackpot control operating port and to make the game balance suitable, but by further increasing the chance of entering by the position where the jackpot control operating port is provided, Interest is heightened.

  For example, when the winning rate to the jackpot control operation port is improved, the operation probability of the consecutive action of the bonus winning port is set accordingly, thereby emphasizing the structure of the two-stage lottery as a game. Can do. As a result, two effect points are generated before a big hit is obtained, such as a reach effect using the determination of whether or not the lottery is performed as a display effect, and a reach effect using the determination of the continuous action of an accessory. In addition, compared to the conventional configuration with the same overall winning probability (winning probability for jackpot state occurrence and winning probability for jackpot control action), the operation probability for jackpot state occurrence can be set higher and the jackpot state Players can play games without getting bored because they have more opportunities to win.

  Conversely, if the rate of entry to the jackpot control operating port is reduced, the game where placing the ball to the jackpot control operating port is set at the main of the game by setting the operation probability of the jackpot control high accordingly. It can create sex. In addition, as a method of lowering the entrance rate to the jackpot control operation port, it is conceivable to provide a entrance device equipped with a so-called croon, and the third kind pachinko machine in which random lottery is performed after structurally distributing It may be possible to give a game similar to that.

Thus, depending on the setting of the entrance rate to the jackpot control operating port, it becomes possible to create a variety of gaming properties.
Next, the start of the jackpot control can be configured to operate on condition that a predetermined number of balls enter the jackpot control operation port during the jackpot state.

  The big hit control is not necessarily configured to start the big hit control by one ball entering the big hit control operating port, but is configured to count the number of balls hitting the big hit control operating port and make a determination using the counted value. Can enhance the interest to start.

  In this case as well, it is necessary to adjust the entrance rate to the jackpot control operation port to make the game balance suitable, but the interest is further enhanced by increasing the chance of entering by the position where the jackpot control operation port is provided.

  For example, if a winning ball is paid out when entering a jackpot control operating port, a winning ball can be obtained even if a predetermined number of balls cannot be entered and the jackpot control cannot be started. It can be a period, and a player's feeling of disappointment can be eased. In addition, since a winning ball is obtained even when the jackpot control can be started, it is possible to avoid a situation in which there is no gaming ball at the time of a big hit and a gaming ball is added.

  In addition, in the configuration in which the big hit control is started by entering the big hit control operation port during the big hit state, it is not always necessary to make the number of incoming balls constant, and the predetermined number is changed depending on some condition. There is no problem.

The jackpot state can be configured to end its operation when the elapsed time from the occurrence thereof reaches a predetermined time.
In order to add a concept of time to the condition of the end of the big hit state and to end the operation when a predetermined time has elapsed since the occurrence of the big hit state, it is possible to enter the big hit control operating port during the big hit state You can raise the thrill of whether or not you can and increase your euphoria.

  In this case, by displaying the given time, the player can grasp the remaining time and can visually determine that the remaining time is decreasing, so that it can stimulate more interest. . In addition, it is conceivable to change the effective time depending on which symbol the big hit state has occurred, and it becomes possible to create gaming machines having various occurrence rates.

Alternatively, the jackpot state may be configured such that the operation is terminated when the number of balls entering the jackpot control operation port reaches a predetermined number.
In order to add the concept of the number of balls entered to the condition of the end of the jackpot state, and to count the number of balls entering the jackpot control operating port from the occurrence of the jackpot state, and configure the operation to end when the predetermined number is reached It is possible to increase the thrill of whether or not a random number that will activate the accessory continuous operation device can be extracted by entering a predetermined number of balls, and to increase gambling.

  On the other hand, with respect to the start opening and the jackpot control operation opening, the start opening and the jackpot control operation opening are arranged on the same flow path of the game ball, for example, the left and right sides of the game board surface, respectively. The game during the period of aiming at the jackpot (when it is not in the big hit state) and the game during the period of aiming at the jackpot control operating port (during the big hit state) can be clearly separated, and the gameability can be easily understood. At this time, notification by the notification means assists the player's understanding and response.

This configuration exerts its effect when a winning opening is used as the jackpot control operating port or when the winning rate to the jackpot control operating port is set to be relatively high.
If the period and area aiming at the start port and the period and area aiming at the jackpot control operating port are clearly separated, the jackpot control operating port is arranged by arranging a distribution means etc. on the route to the jackpot control operating port. It is possible to create a game form in which the main game is to enter the ball. Conventionally, generating the jackpot state is accompanied by the start of the jackpot control, so this was in the main of the game, but with this configuration, generating the jackpot state is the first stage for starting the jackpot control Therefore, it is possible to create a game form in which the main game is to enter the jackpot control opening.

  In addition, it can be configured to add the function of the jackpot control operation port to the start port, and in the game of the period of aiming the start port (when it is not the jackpot state) and the period of aiming the jackpot control operation port (during the jackpot state) Therefore, it is possible to suppress damage to a player who has a low level of understanding of the game.

  In this case, since the start port and the jackpot control operation port are integrated into the start port, the warp of the warp and the stage for starting the jackpot control by the warp and stage provided in the center case are reduced. It is also conceivable to provide a function around the start opening to change the entrance rate according to the period by changing the discharge route or changing the discharge route of the stage. With this configuration, the pitch rate is relatively high or low during the period for generating the jackpot state, and the pitch rate is relatively low or high during the period for starting the jackpot control depending on the gaming situation. Can change the entrance rate of each period, and can have a complex game.

  This configuration is effective when the start port and the jackpot control operation port are related to each other.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described by way of some examples of the present invention. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and can be implemented in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention.
[Example 1]

A detection signal from the operation port switch 17a or the like is detected.

  The game control board 30 operates in accordance with the installed program, generates various commands related to the progress of the game based on the above detection signals and the like, and the prize ball control board 31, the launch control board 49, and the image control board 33. And the operation of the big prize opening solenoid 40c for opening and closing the big prize opening 40, the ordinary accessory solenoid 36d for opening and closing the ordinary electric accessory 36, and the like are controlled. Note that the game control board 30 and the image control board 33 are connected via a relay board 37.

Further, the game control board 30 outputs information such as winnings and jackpots to the outside (hall computer) via the external connection terminal board 50.
The winning ball control board 31 operates the payout motor 29b of the winning ball payout device in accordance with a command sent from the game control board 30 to pay out the winning ball. The game ball paid out as a prize ball at that time is detected by the payout detection switch 29a, and the detection signal is input to the prize ball control board 31, so that the prize ball control board 31 counts the number of prize balls paid out and awards. Sphere management.

  The game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 can communicate bidirectionally, and the prize ball control board 31 transmits payout data to the game control board 30. Accordingly, prize ball management is performed on each of the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31. The award ball control board 31 pays out a game ball in accordance with a command from the game control board 30, but the game control board 30 may be configured to detect whether or not a game ball corresponding to a win has been paid out. .

  Further, the pachinko machine 1 is provided with a prepaid card reader / writer (card reader) 13, and the prize ball control board 31 communicates with the card reader 13 and the CR payment display board 42 of the CR payment display device 7 to lend a ball. Also performs control related to payout. The CR adjustment display board 42 controls the lending button, the adjustment button, and the balance display section of the CR adjustment display device 7.

The winning ball control board 31 may be configured as a logical operation circuit using a microcomputer or may be configured as a discrete circuit.
The launch control board 49 is a command sent from the game control board 30, a touch signal of the touch switch 24 a that detects that the player is touching (operating) the launch handle 9, a rotation amount signal of the launch handle 9, and Based on the signal from the firing stop switch 24b, the launching motor 49a of the launching device is controlled to launch and stop the game ball. The lighting of the touch lamp 45 is also controlled according to the presence or absence of the touch signal.

  The image control board 33 generates an image based on data sent from the game control board 30, and controls the display of the liquid crystal display device 32 by displaying the generated image on the liquid crystal display device 32. The role and function of the substrate 33 are not limited to this, and will be described in detail below.

  First, as described above, the game control board 30 and the image control board 33 are connected via the relay board 37, but the relay board 37 is a board on which no CPU is mounted, and the game control board 30, the image control board 33, and the like. As long as it is a substrate that mediates noise, it is a substrate that does not process data even if noise removal or signal conversion is performed.

  Communication between the game control board 30 and the relay board 37 is one-way communication from the game control board 30 to the relay board 37, and communication between the relay board 37 and the image control board 33 is from the relay board 37 to the image control board 33. One-way communication to.

  In order to realize such one-way communication, the game control board 30 is provided with a one-way communication circuit such as an inverter, a buffer, or a latch circuit as a communication circuit with the relay board 37. The relay board 37 is also provided with a similar one-way communication circuit, and the image control board 33 is also provided with a similar one-way communication circuit for communication with the relay board 37.

  It should be noted that, if such a one-way communication circuit is not provided for each of the game control board 30, the relay board 37, and the image control board 33, if any two boards are provided, the game control board 30 to the relay board 37 can be provided. Communication and communication from the relay board 37 to the image control board 33 can both be one-way communication.

  A relay board 37 without a CPU is interposed between the image control board 33 and the game control board 30, and a circuit configuration capable of transmitting only from the game control board 30 to the image control board 33 in the connection before and after the relay board 37. Therefore, it is difficult to perform fraud, and the effect of being easy to find fraud is exerted. In other words, in order to perform an illegal act from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform an illegal action on the double one-way communication circuit, and the relay board 37 is a board on which no CPU is mounted. Therefore, it is easy to detect a fraudulent act directly from the relay board 37.

  More specifically, in order to perform an illegal act from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform wiring to be transmitted from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30. However, since the game control board 30 and the image control board 33 are connected via the relay board 37, the wiring connecting the image control board 33 and the game control board 30 without the relay board 37 is illegal. Can be regarded as.

Conventionally, even a one-way communication circuit has not been routed through a relay board, and thus it has not been easy to find wiring due to fraud.
On the other hand, it is conceivable that an illegal game is performed from the relay board 37 to the game control board 30 through wiring caused by an illegal act. However, since the relay board 37 is configured as a board on which the CPU is not mounted, unauthorized modification can be easily found.

  The image control board 33 receives the data transmitted from the game control board 30, distributes them to data for image control, lighting control and sound effect control, and uses the data for image control by itself. And the data for electrical decoration control and the sound effect control are transmitted to the electrical decoration control board 35 and the sound effect control board 34, respectively. The data generated by the image control board 33 based on the data sent from the game control board 30 is transmitted to the electric decoration control board 35 or the sound effect control board 34 as data for electric decoration control or sound effect control. Sometimes.

  The image control board 33 is equipped with two CPUs, a CPU 33a and a CPU 33b. The CPU 33a and the CPU 33b are 8-bit one-chip microcomputers as described above, but they may not be 8-bit one-chip microcomputers. Further, one CPU may be used.

  The CPU 33a distributes the data transmitted from the game control board 30 for image control, illumination control or sound effect control, generates data based on the data from the game control board 30, and generates the generated data This sort is performed, and the image control data is transmitted to the CPU 33b, the electrical decoration control is transmitted to the electrical control board 35, and the sound effect control is transmitted to the sound effect control board 34.

The CPU 33b performs image processing, and controls the display of the liquid crystal display device 32 according to the image control data received from the CPU 33a.
In addition to the two CPUs 33a and 33b described above, the image control board 33 includes a ROM that stores an image control program and image data, a RAM that temporarily stores image data, and a known VDP.

  The image control board 33 is connected to the sound effect control board 34 and the electrical decoration control board 35, and the communication circuit therefor is a communication circuit capable of bidirectional communication. The sound effect control board 34 and the illumination control board 35 are also provided with a communication circuit capable of bidirectional communication, and communicate with the image control board 33 through this communication circuit.

  The sound effect control board 34 is mainly composed of drive elements such as a transistor, a sound source IC, and an amplifier, and generates a sound signal based on data from the image control board 33 to drive the speaker.

  The illumination control board 35 controls the light emission of various lamps 60 such as a jackpot lamp and an error lamp and various LEDs (holding storage display LEDs and the like) 61 based on data sent from the image control board 33.

  In this way, the data and commands transmitted from the game control board 30 are collectively received by the image control board 33, and the data and commands are distributed to the data for image control, electrical decoration control, and sound effect control for image control. Is used by itself to control the image display, and the data for lighting control and sound effect control are transmitted to the lighting control board 35 and the sound effect control board 34, respectively, to control the light emission of LED and the speaker output. Since it is configured, it is possible to synchronize sound effects, electrical decorations, and production timing of the liquid crystal display device 32, for example, in symbol variation.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, in the on-hold storage process, the game control board 30 enters the ordinary electric accessory 36 (start winning is generated) and receives the start detection signal of the special symbol start switch (S1: YES), as long as the number of reserved memories has not reached the upper limit (S2: YES), various random numbers such as random numbers for success / failure lottery, random numbers for determining jackpot symbols, reach determining random numbers, random numbers for determining variation patterns, etc. (S3) and store them on hold (S4).

The lottery determination with respect to the hold data stored on hold is performed in the symbol variation process shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 5, the game control board 30 determines whether or not the condition device symbol is stopped (is not changing) (S11). Judgment is made (S12).

  As will be described later, the processing when the condition device operation flag is not 0 will be described later. If the condition device operation flag is 0 (S12: YES), and there is an on-hold storage (see FIG. 4, S3 to S4) (S13: YES). By means of the hold shift, the oldest stored data is moved to temporary storage for the lottery determination, and the second and lower storage positions are shifted one by one (S14).

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the random number for success / failure lottery of the data transferred to the temporary storage for success / failure lottery is a predetermined value, that is, whether or not it is a hit or not (S15).
If the random number for winning / failing lottery is a predetermined value (S15: YES), a confirmed symbol for operating the condition device (for example, a combination of three identical symbols such as 777) is selected based on the random number for determining the big hit (S16), A variation pattern for operating the condition device is selected based on the random number for determining the variation pattern (S17).

  When the random number for winning / failing lottery is not a predetermined value (S15: NO), a condition device operation outlier fixed symbol (for example, a combination of symbols that does not become the same in three digits, such as 715) is selected (S18), and the condition device is operated. A deviation variation pattern is selected (S19).

  In the various command processes of S20, the conditional device activation per symbol (S16) and the conditional device activation per unit variation pattern (S17), or the conditional device activation out deterministic symbol (S18) and the conditional device activation out variation pattern (S19). ) Is transmitted to the image control board 33 via the relay board 37.

  The conditional device activation winning symbol and the conditional device activation failure determination symbol are data indicating the result of the success / failure lottery in S15, and therefore may be data indicating whether or not the symbol is simply hit or not.

  The condition device activation per variation pattern and the condition device activation deviation variation pattern are data for defining the variation time of the condition device activation symbol, and the image control board 33 varies based on these variation patterns. You can specify the time. Of course, the game control board 30 can specify the variation time similarly. Therefore, data of specific fluctuation time can be used instead of the fluctuation pattern.

  Upon receiving this command, the image control board 33 generates data for image control, illumination control, and sound effect control so that a suitable presentation can be made from the command. The data for controlling the lighting and the sound effect control are transmitted to the lighting control board 35 and the sound effect control board 34, respectively, and the effect is started.

  The image control board 33 generates an image according to the data for image control, and displays the image on the liquid crystal display device 32 to display a variation display of the condition device operation symbol, which is designated by a variation pattern for the condition device operation. Conditional device with a variable display and display effect over the specified variation time to display a fixed symbol for operating the conditional device or a variable device with a display and display effect over the variation time specified by the conditional device activation variation pattern Deactivate display for finalized symbols for operation.

  If the game control board 30 does not designate a winning decision symbol or a winning decision symbol and transmits data indicating only the result of the winning / failing lottery in S15 (whether it is a winning or losing), the image control board 33 is a winning or losing symbol. Based on the data indicating the above, the above-determined winning symbol (a combination of symbols having the same three digits) or a missing symbol (a combination other than the same in three digits) is generated and displayed as described above.

  In addition, the game control board 30 transmits data including the variation start command when the winning lottery in S15 is successful, and transmits the variation start data including the variation pattern data, but does not include the data indicating the failure. It may be configured to transmit a start command.

  The image control board 33 can recognize that it is “win” if the data indicating win is included in the change start command, and is “out” if neither data indicating win nor data indicating miss is included. Therefore, it is possible to generate a winning decision symbol or a declining symbol according to the symbol and display the symbol.

The illumination control board 35 performs illumination control in parallel with the fluctuation display on the liquid crystal display device 32, and the sound effect control board 34 performs output control of the sound effect in parallel with the fluctuation display on the liquid crystal display device 32.
If the above-mentioned random number for success / failure lotion is a predetermined value (win / failure lottery wins) (S15: YES), the condition device operation flag is set to 1 along with the confirmation display of the condition device operation-determined symbols. The condition device processing for that is as shown in FIG. The game control board 30 determines whether or not the symbol variation for the condition device operation has been completed, and the variation time defined by the condition device activation hit variation pattern or the condition device activation deviation variation pattern sent to the image control substrate 33. (S61). If the symbol variation ends (S61: YES), a confirmation command is transmitted (S62). When this command is received, the image control board 33 confirms and displays the design of the liquid crystal display device 32.

  The game control board 30 sets the condition device operation flag to 1 (S64) and transmits various commands (S66) if the determined symbol is a predetermined symbol (a determined symbol for condition device operation) (S63: YES).

  In other words, if the random number for winning / failing lottery is a predetermined value (S15: YES), the fixed symbol for operating the conditional device is fixedly displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32, and the conditional device operating flag is set to 1 (S64). The state where the condition device operation flag is set to 1 corresponds to the jackpot state.

  In addition, although the condition device operation flag is set to 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is not set to 1, that is, a big win has occurred in the winning lottery (S15: YES), Notification is made that the opening (big hit game) has not started.

  Specifically, the game control board 30 transmits a notification command signal when the condition device operation flag = 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1. This signal is transmitted to the image control board 33 via the relay board 37. The image control board 33 generates notification image data based on the received notification command signal, and causes the liquid crystal display device 32 to display the generated notification image. .

The notification image only has to be able to notify that the condition device operation flag = 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1, so that there is no particular limitation.
However, it is clearly informed to the player that it is in this state, in particular, that the game ball needs to be inserted into the gate 17 serving as the jackpot control operation port for opening the jackpot 40 (execution of the jackpot game). Is desirable. Accordingly, it is desirable to display characters indicating that a big hit has occurred and that it is necessary to enter the gate 17.

  It is also effective to generate notification data for sound effects, transmit this to the sound effect control board 34, and perform notification to the same effect by voice in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. . Furthermore, it is also effective to generate notification data for electrical decoration, transmit it to the electrical control board 35, and perform notification by lighting or blinking of the electrical decoration in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. It is.

  In addition, since this notification should just be made with either an image, an audio | voice, or an electrical decoration, the display of a notification image is not necessarily essential. However, it can be said that it is a good notification to display one or both of notification by voice and notification by electrical decoration after displaying the notification image.

And if the accessory continuous action | operation apparatus operation flag is set to 1, said alerting | reporting will be complete | finished.
If the condition device operation flag is set to 1, a negative determination is made in S12 of FIG. 5, and therefore the processing shown in FIG. 6 is performed.

  Here, the game control board 30 determines whether or not the symbol for the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (is not changing) (S21). In the same manner as the condition device operation symbol, the symbol for the accessory continuous operation device is displayed in a variable manner and a fixed display by the liquid crystal display device 32. The symbol is reduced and displayed in the lower corner of the screen 26.

This change in the display mode is also a notification that the condition device operation flag is set to 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is not 1.
If the symbol for the continuous accessory operating device is stopped (S21: YES), it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous actuator operating flag is 0 (S22).

  When this flag is 0 (S22: YES), when a game ball enters the gate 17 serving as a jackpot control operation port (a detection signal is input from the operation port switch) (S23: YES), the accessory continuous operation lottery Random numbers and the like are extracted (S24), and the entrance counter is incremented by 1 (S25).

Then, it is determined whether or not the random number for lottery continuous operation lottery is a predetermined value, that is, whether or not it is a hit or miss (S26).
If the random number for continuous action object lottery is a predetermined value (S26: YES), a fixed symbol for operating the continuous object actuator is selected (S27), and a variation pattern for operating the continuous object actuator is selected (S28). .

  If the random number for the continuous operation of the accessory is not a predetermined value (S26: NO), the symbol for determining the continuation of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is selected (S29), and the variation variation pattern for the operation of the continuous operation device is selected (S29). S30).

  In the various command transmission processes of S31, the determined symbol for continuous action of the accessory (S27) and the variation pattern for activation of the continuous action of the accessory (S28), or the fixed symbol for removal of the continuous action of the accessory (S29). And a change start command including the data of the off-change pattern (S30) for operating the accessory continuous operation device is transmitted to the image control board 33.

  Upon receiving this command, the image control board 33 generates data for image control, illumination control, and sound effect control so that a suitable presentation can be made from the command. The data for controlling the lighting and the sound effect control are transmitted to the lighting control board 35 and the sound effect control board 34, respectively, and the effect is started.

  The image control board 33 generates an image according to the data for image control, and displays the generated image on the liquid crystal display device 32, thereby displaying the variation over the variation time specified by the variation pattern for operating the accessory continuous operation device. To display the fixed symbol per symbol for the continuous action device operation for the accessory, or perform the display and display effect for the variation time specified in the pattern deviation variation pattern for the continuous actuator operation for the accessory. The discontinuity confirmation symbol for the continuous object operation device operation is confirmed and displayed.

  Note that the game control board 30 may transmit only the result of winning / failing lottery (whether or not) to the image control board 33, and the image control board 33 may select a determined symbol corresponding to the result of the winning / losing lottery. . In this case, the game control board 30 transmits the data indicating the winning if the winning lottery is a win, but may not transmit the data indicating the result of the winning lottery if the winning is not satisfied. The image control board 33 can determine “win” if data indicating the result of the success / failure lottery (data indicating win) is transmitted, and “miss” if not.

The illumination control board 35 performs illumination control in parallel with the fluctuation display on the liquid crystal display device 32, and the sound effect control board 34 performs output control of the sound effect in parallel with the fluctuation display on the liquid crystal display device 32.
If the above-mentioned random number for continuous action lottery with a predetermined value is a predetermined value (S26: YES), the accessory continuous action device operation flag is set to 1 in accordance with the confirmation display of the symbol for the continuous action device operation. . The accessory continuous actuator processing for that purpose is as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the game control board 30 determines whether or not the symbol fluctuation for actuating the accessory continuous actuating apparatus has ended, or whether or not the winning fluctuation pattern for actuating the accessory continuous actuating apparatus sent to the image control board 33 or the combination. Judgment is made on the basis of the variation time defined by the deviation variation pattern for the continuous object device operation (S71). If the symbol variation ends (S71: YES), a confirmation command is transmitted (S72). When this command is received, the image control board 33 confirms and displays the design of the liquid crystal display device 32.

  The game control board 30 sets the accessory continuous actuator operating flag to 1 (S74) if the determined symbol is a predetermined symbol (determined symbol for operating the accessory consecutive actuator) (S74), and sends various commands. Transmit (S75). When the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1, the game control board 30 operates as an accessory continuous operation device. When the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1, the display indicating that the condition device operation flag in the liquid crystal display device 32 is set to 1 is terminated.

  When the determined symbol is a predetermined symbol (S73: YES), the opening command is included in the various commands transmitted in S75, and the image control board 33 receives the opening command and performs the opening effect. Data for image control, illumination control, and sound effect control are generated, and the image control data is used by itself to cause the liquid crystal display device 32 to perform an opening effect display, for the effect control and sound effect control. The control data is transmitted to the illumination control board 35 and the sound effect control board 34, respectively, and the opening effect is performed.

  When the confirmed symbol is not a predetermined symbol (S73: NO), it is determined whether or not the ball counter is a predetermined value, that is, whether or not a predetermined number of game balls have entered the gate 17 (S76). If the entrance counter is a predetermined value (S76: YES), the condition device operation flag is reset to 0 (ie, the big hit state is ended) (S77), and the entrance counter is cleared (S78).

  As described above, when the random number for continuous action object lottery has a predetermined value (S26: YES), the fixed symbol for the continuous action apparatus operation is confirmed and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32, and the continuous object action apparatus is displayed. The operation flag is set to 1 (S74). If the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1, a negative determination is made in S22 of FIG. 6, and therefore the processing shown in FIG. 7 is performed.

  The process shown in FIG. 7 corresponds to so-called jackpot control. Here, the game control board 30 waits for the opening effect due to the above-mentioned opening command to end (S32: YES), and if the special winning opening 40 is closed (S33: YES), release it. (S34), timer counting is started (S35).

  When the special winning opening 40 is open (S33: NO) or following S35, it is determined based on the signal of the count switch whether or not the special winning opening 40 has been entered (S36). If a ball is entered (S36: YES), the counter is incremented by 1 (S37), and it is determined whether or not the value has reached a predetermined value (S38). If the ball has not been entered (S36: NO), it is determined whether or not the measured value of the timer has reached a predetermined value (S39).

  Whether the value of the counter has reached a predetermined value (S38: YES), or when the time value of the timer has reached a predetermined value (S39: YES), the so-called round has ended, and the special winning opening 40 is closed (S40), The number of times the special winning opening 40 is opened is incremented by 1 (S41), and the counter and timer are reset (S42).

  When the number of releases of the special winning opening 40 incremented by 1 in S41 is not the predetermined value (round upper limit value) (S43: NO), an inter-round interval command is transmitted (S46). When receiving this command, the image control board 33 generates data for image control, electrical decoration control, and sound effect control for the interval effect, and the image control data is used by itself for the liquid crystal display device. 32, the interval effect display is performed, and the data for controlling the electric decoration and the data for controlling the sound effect are transmitted to the electric decoration control board 35 and the sound effect control board 34, respectively, and the interval effect is performed.

  On the other hand, if the number of times of opening of the big winning opening 40 has reached a predetermined value (round upper limit value) (S43: YES), the jackpot game is ended, the number of opening of the big winning opening 40 is reset (S44), and the ending command Is transmitted (S45).

  When the image control board 33 receives the ending command, the image control board 33 generates data for image control, illumination control, and sound effect control for the ending effect, and the image control data is used by itself for the liquid crystal display device. 32 displays the ending effect, and the data for controlling the lighting and the sound effect control are transmitted to the lighting control board 35 and the sound effect control board 34, respectively, and the ending effect is performed.

  In addition, the game control board 30 waits for the end of the ending effect due to the ending command, and resets both the condition device operation flag and the accessory continuous operation device operation flag to 0, and clears the value of the entrance counter. Various processes associated with the end of the jackpot game are performed.

  As described above, the gate under the condition that the conditional device operation flag is set to 1 when the fixed symbol for operating the conditional device is fixedly displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32 because the random number for winning / failing lottery is a predetermined value. If the random number lottery based on the 17th game is won, the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1, and when the predetermined number of large winning openings 40 are opened in the big hit game, the condition device operation flag and the accessory continuous operation are performed. The device activation flag is reset.

  In order for a bonus game to be performed with the accessory continuous operating device operating flag set to 1, it is essential to enter the gate 17 under the condition that the conditional device operating flag is set to 1. Since the gate 17 is provided at a position where it can be entered by launching a game ball with aim, unlike the case where it is provided in the variable winning device, for example, the opening time that is the closing condition of the variable winning device or No longer tied to the number of balls entered.

  At that time, the liquid crystal display device 32 informs that the condition device operation flag is set to 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is not 1. Therefore, the player forgets to aim at the gate 17. There is no fear, and it is possible to play a game using a period in which the condition device operation flag = 1 and the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1.

  In addition, although the gate 17 can be aimed at, if the condition device operation flag = 1 is not satisfied, even if the ball enters the gate 17, the accessory continuous operation device operation flag = 1 is not set. Even if the ball enters, it can be irrelevant to the occurrence of the jackpot.

  Further, if the ball enters the gate 17 under the condition of the condition device operation flag = 1, the accessory continuous operation device operation flag = 1 is not set, and the random number extracted due to the ball entering the gate 17 is predetermined. Since it is configured such that the accessory continuous actuating device operation flag = 1 on condition that it is a value, it is possible to enhance the interest for setting the accessory continuous actuating device operation flag = 1 (acquisition of jackpot). With this configuration, it is necessary to adjust the entrance rate to the gate 17 and make the game balance suitable, but the interest is further enhanced by increasing the entrance opportunity depending on the position where the gate 17 is provided.

The condition device operation flag = 1 state does not last for a long time, and is configured to end when the number of balls entering the gate 17 reaches a predetermined number. It is possible to increase the thrill of whether or not to extract a random number that will cause the actuator operation flag to be 1 (acquired jackpot), and to increase euphoria.
[Example 2]
As shown in FIG. 10, in the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment (except for the portion shown in FIG. 10, since it is the same as that of the first embodiment, illustration and description are omitted, and the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment are used). In the right side of the center case 14, a distribution prize winning device 71 is provided.

  The distribution winning device 71 includes a rotating body 72 for receiving a game ball (winning ball). If a game ball enters the pocket 72a of the rotating body 72, one game ball can be won per rotation. The game ball detached from the rotator 72 falls into a so-called crune 73 below and enters one of the three entrances provided in this. One of the three entrances is set as a V entrance 74 serving as a jackpot control operation port.

  Since the V entrance hole 74 serving as the jackpot control operation port is provided in the distribution winning device 71, in the first embodiment, the composite device 29 including the gate 17 serving as the jackpot control operation port and the ordinary electric accessory 36 is provided. However, in this embodiment, the ordinary electric accessory 36 is an independent device.

  A series of nail rows 75 having an upper end near the lower right portion of the center case 14 are arranged in a wall shape between the distribution prize winning device 71 and the ordinary electric accessory 36. For this reason, the game ball that has passed through the area on the right side of the center case 14 in which the distribution winning device 71 is installed is prevented from entering the area in which the ordinary electric accessory 36 is installed by the nail row 75. In addition, the game balls that have passed through the area where the ordinary electric accessory 36 is installed are also prevented from entering the sorting prize winning device 71 by the nail row 75. That is, the normal electric accessory 36 serving as a starting port and the V entrance 74 serving as a jackpot control operation port are not on the same flow down path of the game ball, and are a period for aiming the normal electric accessory 36 (not a big hit state). Game) during the period (during the big hit state) aiming at the distribution winning device 71 (the V entrance 74 therein) can be clearly divided, and the gameability can be easily understood.

  In the case of this embodiment, the lottery when entering the jackpot control operation opening and the display of the symbol for the continuous action device for the accessory (see FIGS. 6 and 9) are not performed, and the condition device operation flag is set to 1. If the player enters the V entrance 74 under the condition, the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1, and the big hit game is executed. Except for the procedure for setting the accessory continuous operation device operation flag, the setting of the condition device operation flag, the jackpot game, and the like are performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

The configuration of the second embodiment also provides the same effect as that of the first embodiment, and also has an effect specific to this embodiment as described above.
In addition, the rotary body 72 of the allocation prize-winning device 71 is not essential, and a configuration excluding this may be used. In addition, a gate or a prize opening may be provided instead of the distribution prize winning device 71, and this may be used as a jackpot control operating port. It is desirable to set to.
[Modification]
In the first embodiment, a configuration in which the accessory continuous actuator operating flag is set to 1 based on the lottery when entering the gate 17 (big hit control operating port) under the condition that the conditional apparatus operating flag is set to 1 is used. Although described (see FIG. 6 and FIG. 9), when the number of balls entered into the gate 17 reaches a predetermined number, a configuration in which the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1 can be adopted, and an example thereof will be described.

First, the condition device process described with reference to FIG. 8 is modified as shown in FIG. 11, and a process (S65) for starting timer timing is added following the setting of the condition device operation flag (S64).
Further, a part of the symbol variation process (the part shown in FIG. 6) is modified as shown in FIG. 12, and the accessory continuous operation process shown in FIG. 9 is abolished.

In the change portion of the symbol variation process shown in FIG. 12, the game control board 30 determines whether or not the accessory continuous action device activation flag is 0 (S51).
When this flag is 0 (S51: YES), when a game ball enters the gate 17 serving as a jackpot control operating port (a detection signal from the operating port switch is input) (S52: YES), the entrance counter is incremented by +1. Then, it is determined whether or not the value has reached a predetermined value (S54).

  If the value of the entrance counter, that is, the number of balls entering the gate 17 under the condition that the condition device operation flag is set to 1 is a predetermined value (S54: YES), the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1. (S55).

  Then, the timer that started timing in S65 of FIG. 11 is cleared (S56), the entrance counter is cleared (S57), and various commands are transmitted (S58). In addition, when performing various command transmission processing of S58 following the set of the accessory continuous operation device operation flag (S55), the various commands to be transmitted include an opening command. Upon receipt of the opening command, it generates data for image control, illumination control and sound effect control for the opening effect, and the image control data is used by itself to display the opening effect display on the liquid crystal display device 32. The data for controlling the electric decoration and the data for controlling the sound effect are transmitted to the electric decoration control board 35 and the sound effect control board 34, respectively, and the opening effect is performed.

  On the other hand, if there is no ball entering the gate 17 (S52: NO), it is determined whether or not the time value of the timer has reached a predetermined value (S59). If the determination is affirmative, the condition device operation flag is reset to 0. (S60) The process proceeds to S56, and if a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to S58.

As described above, if the configuration in which the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1 when the number of balls entering the gate 17 reaches a predetermined number is adopted, the condition device operation flag is set to 1. The entrance to the gate 17 does not always set the accessory continuous operation device operation flag to 1, but the number of entrances to the gate 17 needs to reach a predetermined number, so that the accessory continuous operation device is operated. Can enhance the interest of Moreover, since a time limit (timed by a timer) is imposed, the interest is further enhanced.
[Correlation between control boards 1]
The connection relationship among the game control board 30, prize ball control board 31, relay board 37, image control board 33, sound effect control board 34, and illumination control board 35 in the ball game machines of the first and second embodiments and the modified examples is as follows. There is a unique part.

  Also, in the first embodiment, etc., a function of receiving data transmitted from the game control board 30, distributing them to data for image control, electrical decoration control, and sound effect control, and transmitting to the corresponding control board However, this function can be assigned to another control board such as the sound effect control board 34 or the illumination control board 35.

  In the embodiment, the sound effect control board 34 that performs sound effect output control and the light control board 35 that performs electrical decoration control are provided. It is good also as a decoration control board | substrate, and you may make it share into two each like an Example.

  The connection relationship among the game control board 30, the prize ball control board 31, the relay board 37, the image control board 33, the sound effect control board 34, and the illumination control board 35 of the first and second embodiments and the modified example is illustrated in FIG. The configuration is as shown in FIG. 14 (the configuration of the portion not shown is as shown in FIG. 3).

  The example of FIG. 13 corresponds to the main part of the first embodiment (FIG. 3), and the game control board 30 and the image control board 33 (first sub-control board) are connected to a relay board without a CPU. 37, and the connection between the game control board 30 and the relay board 37 and the connection between the relay board 37 and the image control board 33 are configured in one-way communication.

  A one-way communication circuit (not shown) for the one-way communication, for example, a one-way communication circuit such as an inverter, a buffer, or a latch circuit is provided on each of the game control board 30, the relay board 37, and the image control board 33. However, if one of them is provided, one-way communication from the game control board 30 to the relay board 37 and one-way communication from the relay board 37 to the image control board 33 can be realized.

Communication between the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 may be one-way communication as shown by a solid line, or two-way communication as shown by a broken line.
In addition, although not so in the above embodiment, the game control board 30 includes a display device 39 that is directly controlled. ) Is determined, and the variation time from the start of the variation of the symbol to the fixed display is determined, and data specifying the variation time is included in the variation start command and transmitted, and at the same time, the display device 39 is controlled. In this configuration, display of fluctuation is started, display control such as change of fluctuation speed is performed until the fluctuation time elapses, and direct control design corresponding to the lottery result is confirmed and displayed when the fluctuation time elapses. Also good.

  The image control board 33 is connected with a sound effect control board 34 (second sub-control board) and an electrical decoration control board 35 (second sub-control board). The sound effect control board 34 and the illumination control board 35 are provided with a bidirectional communication circuit (not shown). The image control board 33, the sound effect control board 34, the image control board 33, the illumination control board 35, Performs two-way communication.

Other specific operation contents are as described in the first and second embodiments or the modification.
As described in the first embodiment, a relay board 37 without a CPU is interposed between the image control board 33 and the game control board 30, and images are connected only from the game control board 30 in the connection before and after the relay board 37. Since the circuit configuration can be transmitted to the control board 33, it is difficult to perform fraudulent acts, and it is easy to find fraudulent acts. That is, in order to perform an illegal act from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform an illegal action on the double one-way communication circuit, and the relay board 37 is a board on which no CPU is mounted. Therefore, it is easy to detect a fraudulent act directly from the relay board 37.

  More specifically, in order to perform an illegal act from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform wiring to be transmitted from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30. However, since the game control board 30 and the image control board 33 are connected via the relay board 37, the wiring connecting the image control board 33 and the game control board 30 without the relay board 37 is illegal. Can be regarded as.

Conventionally, even a one-way communication circuit has not been routed through a relay board, and thus it has not been easy to find wiring due to fraud.
On the other hand, it is conceivable that an illegal game is performed from the relay board 37 to the game control board 30 through wiring caused by an illegal act. However, since the relay board 37 is configured as a board on which the CPU is not mounted, unauthorized modification can be easily found.

  Further, as described in the first embodiment, when the game control board 30 is in the state where the condition device operation flag = 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1, the image control board 33 receives the notification command signal. By generating notification image data based on the notification command signal and displaying the generated notification image on the liquid crystal display device 32, the condition device operation flag is set to 1, but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is In a state where it is not set to 1, that is, a jackpot has occurred in the winning lottery, it is notified that the big winning opening 40 has not yet been opened (bonus game).

  In this case, the image control board 33 generates sound effect notification data based on the notification command signal, and transmits the sound effect notification data to the sound effect control board 34, in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. The image control board 33 can generate notification data for electrical decoration based on the notification command signal and transmit it to the electrical control board 35 for display by the liquid crystal display device 32. In parallel with this, it is possible to make a configuration in which notification is performed by lighting or blinking of the illumination. Of course, the same notification may be performed for all of the image, sound, and illumination.

  On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 14, not the image control board 33 but the sound effect control board 34 is connected to the relay board 37 as the first sub control board. Therefore, the sound effect control board 34 is equipped with a CPU.

  Similarly to FIG. 13, at least two of the game control board 30, the relay board 37, and the sound effect control board 34 are provided with a one-way communication circuit such as an inverter, a buffer, or a latch circuit to control the game. The connection between the board 30 and the relay board 37 and the connection between the relay board 37 and the sound effect control board 34 are configured in one-way communication.

Communication between the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 may be one-way communication as shown by a solid line, or two-way communication as shown by a broken line.
Further, the image control board 33 (second sub-control board in this example) and the illumination control board 35 (second sub-control board) are connected to the sound effect control board 34, and the sound effect control board 34. The image control board 33, the sound effect control board 34, and the illumination control board 35 are configured to perform bidirectional communication.

  In this case, the sound effect control board 34 distributes the data for image control, illumination control, and sound effect control that the image control board 33 performed in the first embodiment, and the image control board 33 is the sound effect control board. 34, various commands such as a change start command are received.

  In addition, instead of the sound effect control board 34, the illumination control board 35 may be connected to the relay board 37 as a first sub control board, and the image control board 33 and the sound effect control board 34 may be connected thereto. . In this case, it is necessary that the CPU is mounted on the illumination control board 35.

  Similarly to FIG. 13, the game control board 30 includes a display device 39 that is directly controlled, and the game control board 30 performs a direct control symbol corresponding to the lottery result (winning / winning) every time the winning / losing lottery is performed. In addition, the change time from the start of the change of the symbol to the final display is determined, and the data specifying the change time is included in the change start command and transmitted, and at the same time, the display device 39 is controlled to start the change display. Alternatively, display control such as change of the fluctuation speed may be performed until the fluctuation time elapses, and control may be performed to confirm and display the direct control symbol corresponding to the lottery result after the fluctuation time elapses.

  Other specific operation contents of the game control board 30, the prize ball control board 31, the relay board 37, the image control board 33, the sound effect control board 34, and the illumination control board 35 are the same as those in the first, second, or modification examples. It is the same.

  Also in the example of FIG. 14, a relay board 37 without a CPU is interposed between the sound effect control board 34 and the game control board 30, and the sound effects only from the game control board 30 in the connection before and after the relay board 37. Since the circuit configuration can be transmitted to the control board 34, it is difficult to perform fraud and it is easy to find fraud. That is, in order to perform an illegal act from the sound effect control board 34 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform an illegal action on the double one-way communication circuit, and the relay board 37 is not equipped with a CPU. This is because it is a board and it is easy to detect a fraudulent act directly from the relay board 37.

  More specifically, in order to perform an illegal act from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform wiring to be transmitted from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30. However, since the game control board 30 and the image control board 33 are connected via the relay board 37, the wiring connecting the image control board 33 and the game control board 30 without the relay board 37 is illegal. Can be regarded as.

Conventionally, even a one-way communication circuit has not been routed through a relay board, and thus it has not been easy to find wiring due to fraud.
On the other hand, it is conceivable that an illegal game is performed from the relay board 37 to the game control board 30 through wiring caused by an illegal act. However, since the relay board 37 is configured as a board on which the CPU is not mounted, unauthorized modification can be easily found.

  In addition, when the game control board 30 is in the state where the condition device operation flag = 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1, a notification command signal is transmitted, and the image control board 33 receives this signal. 1, the image control board 33 generates notification image data based on the received notification command signal, and displays the generated notification image on the liquid crystal display device 32, so that the condition device operation flag is set to 1. However, it is possible to notify that the winning combination winning device 40 has not been opened (the big winning game) has been started, although the winning combination continuous operation device operation flag is not set to 1, that is, the winning lottery has occurred.

Similarly, the sound effect control board 34 that has received the notification command signal can generate notification data for sound effects, and can perform notification to the same effect by voice in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. The sound effect control board 34 or the image control board 33 generates notification data for electrical decoration based on the notification command signal, transmits this to the electrical control board 35, and in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32 In addition, it is possible to make a configuration in which notification is performed by lighting or flashing of the illumination. Of course, the same notification may be performed for all of the image, sound, and illumination.
[Correlation 2 between control boards]
The interrelation 1 of the control board corresponds to the bullet ball game machine of claim 1, but an example in which the bullet ball game machine of claim 2 is embodied will be described as the correlation 2 of the control board.

  In the example of FIGS. 13 and 14, one of the image control board 33 or the sound effect control board 34 and the illumination control board 35 is connected to the relay board 37, but the image control board 33 performed in the first embodiment. A distribution control board equipped with a CPU for distributing data for image control, illumination control, and sound effect control is connected to the relay board 37, and the image control board 33, A configuration in which the sound effect control board 34 and the illumination control board 35 are connected is also possible. A specific example is shown in FIG. Note that the configuration of the ball game machine is the same as in the first, second, or modification, and the configuration of the control system not shown in FIG. 15 is the same as that in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 15, the game control board 30 is connected to the relay board 37 without the CPU, and the sub-integrated board 100 that is the distribution control board with the CPU is connected to the relay board 37. 30 and the sub-integrated substrate 100 are connected via a relay substrate 37. The connection between the game control board 30 and the relay board 37 and the connection between the relay board 37 and the sub-integrated board 100 are performed by using a one-way communication circuit such as an inverter, a buffer, or a latch circuit, as described in the example of FIG. By providing for two of the persons, each is configured for one-way communication.

Communication between the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 may be one-way communication as shown by a solid line, or two-way communication as shown by a broken line.
The image control board 33, the sound effect control board 34, and the electrical decoration control board 35 are connected to the sub-integrated board 100, and the sub integrated board 100, the image control board 33, the sound effect control board 34, and the electrical decoration control board 35 are It is configured to perform bidirectional communication.

  The sub-integrated board 100 distributes the image control data, the illumination control data, and the sound effect control data performed by the image control board 33 in the first embodiment, and sends the image control data to the image control board 33. The data for controlling the lighting is transmitted to the lighting control board 35, and the data for controlling the sound effects is transmitted to the sound effect control board 34. Therefore, the image control board 33 receives various commands such as a change start command via the sub integrated board 100.

  The specific operation contents of the image control board 33, the illumination control board 35, and the sound effect control board 34 when the control data is received from the sub-integrated board 100 are the same as those in the first, second, or modification examples.

The operation contents of the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 are as described in the first, second, or modification examples.
Also in the example of FIG. 15, a relay board 37 without a CPU is interposed between the sub-integrated board 100 and the game control board 30, and the sub-integrated board is connected only from the game control board 30 in the connection before and after the relay board 37. Since the circuit configuration can be transmitted to 100, it is difficult to perform fraudulent acts, and it is easy to find fraudulent acts. That is, in order to perform an illegal act from the sub-integrated board 100 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform an illegal action on the double one-way communication circuit, and the relay board 37 is a board on which no CPU is mounted. Therefore, it is easy to detect a fraudulent act directly from the relay board 37.

  More specifically, in order to perform an illegal act from the sub-integrated board 100 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform wiring to be transmitted from the sub-integrated board 100 to the game control board 30. However, since the game control board 30 and the sub-integrated board 100 are connected via the relay board 37, the wiring connecting the sub-integrated board 100 and the game control board 30 without the relay board 37 is illegal. Can be regarded as.

Conventionally, even a one-way communication circuit has not been routed through a relay board, and thus it has not been easy to find wiring due to fraud.
On the other hand, it is conceivable that an illegal game is performed from the relay board 37 to the game control board 30 through wiring caused by an illegal act. However, since the relay board 37 is configured as a board on which the CPU is not mounted, unauthorized modification can be easily found.

  Further, when the game control board 30 transmits the notification command signal when the condition device operation flag = 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1, the notification command signal received by the sub-integrated substrate 100 that has received this signal. The image notification data for the image is generated and transmitted to the image control board 33 to display the notification image on the liquid crystal display device 32 and the condition device operation flag is set to 1 as in the first embodiment. However, it is possible to notify that the winning combination winning device 40 has not been opened (the big winning game) has been started, although the winning combination continuous operation device operation flag is not set to 1, that is, the winning lottery has occurred.

  In this case, the notification command signal received by the sub-integrated substrate 100 is transmitted to the image control substrate 33, and the image control substrate 33 generates notification image data based on the received notification command signal, and the generated notification image is displayed on the liquid crystal. It is good also as a structure which displays on the display apparatus 32 and performs the said alerting | reporting.

  In addition, the sub-integrated substrate 100 that has received the notification command signal generates notification data for sound effects and transmits the sound effect data to the sound effect control substrate 34, so that the same meaning is obtained by voice in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. The sub-integrated board 100 generates notification data for electrical decoration based on the notification command signal, and transmits the notification data to the electrical control board 35 in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. In particular, it is possible to make a configuration in which notification is performed by lighting or blinking of the illumination. Of course, the same notification may be performed for all of the image, sound, and illumination.

  Similarly to FIG. 13, the game control board 30 includes a display device 39 that is directly controlled, and the game control board 30 performs a direct control symbol corresponding to the lottery result (winning / winning) every time the winning / losing lottery is performed. In addition, the change time from the start of the change of the symbol to the final display is determined, and the data specifying the change time is included in the change start command and transmitted, and at the same time, the display device 39 is controlled to start the change display. Alternatively, display control such as change of the fluctuation speed may be performed until the fluctuation time elapses, and control may be performed to confirm and display the direct control symbol corresponding to the lottery result after the fluctuation time elapses.

  The example shown in FIG. 15 includes a component called a distribution control board (sub-integrated board 100), so this ball game machine is different from the structure shown in FIGS. Even if it is a machine, it has the same effect as Example 1, 2 or a modification.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 15, the sound effect control board 34 that performs sound effect output control and the light control board 35 that performs light control are provided. However, these functions are integrated into one control board. / It is good also as an electrical decoration control board, and it is good also as an Example, and you may make it share each into two like an Example.
[Correlation 3 between control boards]
By the way, a relay board is interposed between the game control board and the first sub-control board, the second sub-control board, or the distribution control board, and both the upstream side and the downstream side of the relay board are used for one-way communication. This is because, as described in the first embodiment, it is difficult to perform fraudulent acts and to facilitate the discovery of fraudulent acts.

However, if a double one-way communication circuit is employed, it is difficult to perform fraud without using a relay board, and discovery of fraud can be facilitated. That is, the configuration illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 17 may be used. 16 and 17 show the main part of the control system as in FIGS. 13 to 15, the configuration of the control system not shown is the same as in FIG. 3, and the configuration of the other ball game machines is as follows. It is the same as that of Example 1, 2 or a modification.
[Correlation between control boards 3-1]
First, the example which actualized the bullet ball game machine of Claim 3 is demonstrated.

  In the example of FIG. 16, an image control board 33 is connected to the game control board 30, an electric decoration control board 35 is connected to the image control board 33, and a sound effect control board 34 is further connected to the electric decoration control board 35. ing. In addition, a prize ball control board 31 is connected to the game control board 30 as in the examples of FIGS.

  The connection between the game control board 30 and the image control board 33 and the connection between the image control board 33 and the illumination control board 35 are, for example, a one-way communication circuit such as an inverter, a buffer or a latch circuit, as described in the example of FIG. Are provided for two of these three parties so that each is configured for one-way communication.

Communication between the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 may be one-way communication as shown by a solid line, or two-way communication as shown by a broken line.
The illumination control board 35 and the sound effect control board 34 are configured to perform bidirectional communication.

  Then, the image control board 33 distributes data for image control, illumination control, and sound effect control in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The image control data is used by itself, and the illumination control data and The sound effect control data is transmitted to the illumination control board 35. The sound effect control data is transmitted to the sound effect control board 34 via the illumination control board 35.

Specific operation contents of the image control board 33, the illumination control board 35, and the sound effect control board 34 using the data for each control are the same as those in the first, second, or modification examples.
The operation contents of the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 are as described in the first, second, or modification examples.

  Similarly to FIG. 13, the game control board 30 includes a display device 39 that is directly controlled, and the game control board 30 performs a direct control symbol corresponding to the lottery result (winning / winning) every time the winning / losing lottery is performed. In addition, the change time from the start of the change of the symbol to the final display is determined, and the data specifying the change time is included in the change start command and transmitted, and at the same time, the display device 39 is controlled to start the change display. Alternatively, display control such as change of the fluctuation speed may be performed until the fluctuation time elapses, and control may be performed to confirm and display the direct control symbol corresponding to the lottery result after the fluctuation time elapses.

  Note that the image control board 33, the illumination control board 35, and the sound effect control board 34 shown in FIG. 16 can be interchanged with each other, and which of these three is connected to the game control board 30 depends on the game control board 30. Which of the remaining two parties is connected to the connected control board can be selected as appropriate. However, the control board connected to the game control board 30 (the control board in the position occupied by the image control board 33 in FIG. 16) distributes data for image control, illumination control, and sound effect control. It is necessary to mount a CPU.

  Even in such a configuration, since a double one-way communication circuit exists in the game control board 30 to the image control board 33 and the image control board 33 to the illumination control board 35, game control using the communication system It is difficult to cheat on the substrate 30 and it becomes easy to find the cheating.

  More specifically, in order to perform an illegal act from the illumination control board 35 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform wiring to be transmitted from the illumination control board 35 to the game control board 30. However, since the game control board 30 and the electrical control board 35 are connected via the image control board 33, the electrical control board 35 and the game control board 30 are connected without going through the image control board 33. Wiring can be considered to be due to fraud. The same applies when an illegal act is performed from the sound effect control board 34 to the game control board 30.

  On the other hand, it is conceivable that an illegal game is performed from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30 by wiring due to an illegal act, and it is necessary to check illegal modification to the image control board 33 for this. However, as described above, since unauthorized wiring from the illumination control board 35 or the sound effect control board 34 is easy to find, unauthorized modification to the image control board 33 may be intensively checked.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, the game control board 30 transmits a notification command signal when the condition apparatus operation flag = 1 but the accessory continuous operation apparatus operation flag ≠ 1, and the image control board 33 receives it. By generating notification image data based on the notification command signal and displaying the generated notification image on the liquid crystal display device 32, the condition device operation flag is set to 1, but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is 1. In the state that is not set, that is, a jackpot has occurred in the winning lottery, but it is notified that the big winning opening 40 has not yet been opened (bonus game).

  In this case, the image control board 33 generates sound effect notification data based on the notification command signal, and transmits the sound effect notification data to the sound effect control board 34, in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. The image control board 33 can generate notification data for electrical decoration based on the notification command signal and transmit it to the electrical control board 35 for display by the liquid crystal display device 32. In parallel with this, it is possible to make a configuration in which notification is performed by lighting or blinking of the illumination. Of course, the same notification may be performed for all of the image, sound, and illumination.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 16, the sound effect control board 34 that performs sound effect output control and the light control board 35 that performs light control are provided. However, these functions are integrated into one control board. / Electric decoration control board may be used, and in this case, the third sub-control board does not exist.
[Control Board Correlation 3-2]
Next, the example which actualized the bullet ball game machine of Claim 4 is demonstrated.

  In the example of FIG. 17, the sub-integrated board 100 (which is the distribution control board as described above) is connected to the game control board 30, the image control board 33 is connected to the sub-integrated board 100, and image control is performed. An electrical decoration control board 35 and a sound effect control board 34 are connected to the board 33. In addition, a prize ball control board 31 is connected to the game control board 30 as in the examples of FIGS.

  The connection between the game control board 30 and the sub-integrated board 100 and the connection between the sub-integrated board 100 and the image control board 33 are performed using a one-way communication circuit such as an inverter, a buffer, or a latch circuit, as described in the example of FIG. By preparing for two of these three parties, each is configured for one-way communication.

Communication between the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 may be one-way communication as shown by a solid line, or two-way communication as shown by a broken line.
The image control board 33, the electrical decoration control board 35, and the sound effect control board 34 are configured to perform bidirectional communication.

  Then, the sub integrated board 100 distributes data for image control, illumination control, and sound effect control as in the example of FIG. 15, and transmits them to the image control board 33. The image control board 33 uses the received image control data by itself, transmits the lighting control data to the lighting control board 35, and transmits the sound effect control data to the sound effect control board 34.

Specific operation contents of the image control board 33, the illumination control board 35, and the sound effect control board 34 using the data for each control are the same as those in the first, second, or modification examples.
The operation contents of the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 are as described in the first, second, or modification examples.

  Similarly to FIG. 13, the game control board 30 includes a display device 39 that is directly controlled, and the game control board 30 performs a direct control symbol corresponding to the lottery result (winning / winning) every time the winning / losing lottery is performed. In addition, the change time from the start of the change of the symbol to the final display is determined, and the data specifying the change time is included in the change start command and transmitted, and at the same time, the display device 39 is controlled to start the change display. Alternatively, display control such as change of the fluctuation speed may be performed until the fluctuation time elapses, and control may be performed to confirm and display the direct control symbol corresponding to the lottery result after the fluctuation time elapses.

  Note that the image control board 33 and the illumination control board 35 shown in FIG. 17 can be replaced, or the image control board 33 and the sound effect control board 34 can be replaced. Whether to connect to can be selected as appropriate.

  Even in such a configuration, the game control board 30 to the sub-integrated board 100 and the sub-integrated board 100 to the image control board 33 have double one-way communication circuits. It is difficult to carry out fraudulent acts on 30 and it becomes easy to find fraudulent acts.

  More specifically, in order to perform an illegal act from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform wiring to be transmitted from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30. However, since the game control board 30 and the image control board 33 are connected via the sub-integrated board 100, the wiring connecting the image control board 33 and the game control board 30 is not connected via the sub-integrated board 100. It can be regarded as a result of cheating. The same applies when an illegal act is performed on the game control board 30 from the illumination control board 35 or the sound effect control board 34.

  On the other hand, it is conceivable that an illegal game is performed from the sub-integrated board 100 to the game control board 30 by wiring due to an illegal act, and it is necessary to check illegal modification to the sub-integrated board 100 for this. However, as described above, since unauthorized wiring from the image control board 33, the illumination control board 35, or the sound effect control board 34 is easy to find, it is only necessary to check for unauthorized modification to the sub-integrated board 100.

  Further, when the game control board 30 transmits the notification command signal when the condition device operation flag = 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1, the notification command signal received by the sub-integrated substrate 100 that has received this signal. The image notification data for the image is generated and transmitted to the image control board 33 to display the notification image on the liquid crystal display device 32 and the condition device operation flag is set to 1 as in the first embodiment. However, it is possible to notify that the winning combination winning device 40 has not been opened (the big winning game) has been started, although the winning combination continuous operation device operation flag is not set to 1, that is, the winning lottery has occurred.

At that time, the sub-integrated substrate 100 that has received the notification command signal generates notification data for sound effects and transmits it to the sound effect control substrate 34, so that the sound is output in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. The sub-integrated substrate 100 can generate notification data for electrical decoration based on the notification command signal and transmit it to the electrical control board 35 for display by the liquid crystal display device 32. In parallel with this, it is possible to make a configuration in which notification is performed by lighting or blinking of the illumination. Of course, the same notification may be performed for all of the image, sound, and illumination.
[Example 3]
The first and second embodiments and the modifications are examples in which the invention according to claim 1 is embodied, and a third embodiment in which the invention according to claim 5 is embodied will be described. Although the conditions for generating the jackpot state are different between claim 1 and claim 5, the configuration of the control system is the same, so only the main part is shown and described.

As shown in FIG. 18, a central winning device 90 is installed in the game area 97 of the pachinko machine of the present embodiment.
The central winning device 90 is a so-called “blade thing”, and opens the large winning opening 95 by inclining a pair of left and right opening and closing blades 91 to the side. Since the game ball placed on the inclined opening / closing blade 91 wins the grand prize winning opening 95, the upper surface of the opening / closing blade 91 inclined at the time of opening substantially becomes a part of the big winning opening 95.

  A specific area 92 and a non-specific area 96 are provided in the central winning device 90, and a game ball that has won a prize winning opening 95 alternatively enters the specific area 92 or the non-specific area 96. To do.

A start winning port 93 (corresponding to the start port) is disposed below the central winning device 90, and a gate 94 serving as a jackpot control operating port is disposed above.
In the game area 97, a normal winning opening, a game nail, a windmill, and the like are arranged.

  As shown in FIG. 19, a specific area switch 92a for detecting a game ball that has entered the specific area 92, a start opening switch 93a for detecting a game ball that has won a start winning opening 93, and a gate 94 are entered. A detection signal of the accessory continuous operation switch 94 a for detecting the played game ball is input to the game control board 30. In addition, the game control board 30 controls the opening / closing of the special winning opening 95 by controlling the operation of the special winning opening solenoid 90 a that drives the opening / closing blade 91.

  Further, the game control board 30, the prize ball control board 31, the relay board 37, the image control board 33, the sound effect control board 34, and the illumination control board 35 shown in FIG. 19 are configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment (FIG. 3). Has been. Other configurations are the same as those in FIG. 3, and thus illustration and description thereof are omitted.

  As in the first embodiment (FIGS. 3 and 13), the relay board 37 is not equipped with a CPU, and at least two of the game control board 30, the relay board 37, and the image control board 33 are used. For example, a one-way communication circuit such as an inverter, a buffer or a latch circuit is provided, and the connection between the game control board 30 and the relay board 37 and the connection between the relay board 37 and the image control board 33 are set to one-way communication. The image control board 33 and the sound effect control board 34, and the image control board 33 and the illumination control board 35 perform bidirectional communication. Communication between the game control board 30 and the prize ball control board 31 may be one-way communication as shown by a solid line, or two-way communication as shown by a broken line.

  In this pachinko machine, when the winning prize opening 93 is won (when the detection signal of the starting opening switch 93a for detecting the game ball is input to the game control board 30), the game control board 30 is awarded the big prize of the central winning device 90. For example, the mouth 95 is opened for a short time of about 0.2 seconds.

Further, the game control board 30 repeatedly executes the accessory continuous operation process shown in FIG. 20 as a subroutine of a main routine (not shown).
In this process, it is determined based on the detection signal of the specific area switch 92a whether or not the game ball that has won the big winning opening 95 at the time of opening described above has entered the specific area 92 (S101). If the ball has been entered (S101: YES), the condition device operation flag is set to 1 and a notification command signal is transmitted (S102).

  The notification command signal is transmitted to the image control board 33 via the relay board 37, and the image control board 33 generates notification image data based on the received notification command signal, and the generated notification image is transmitted to the liquid crystal display device 32. Display. The notification image is the same as that described in the first embodiment.

  Next, the game control board 30 determines whether or not the game ball has entered the gate 94 based on the detection signal of the accessory continuous operation switch 94a (S103). If the game ball has entered the gate 94 (S103: YES), the accessory continuous operation device activation flag is set to 1, and the jackpot control (S104) for the jackpot game is executed.

  The jackpot game executed here is the same as the known jackpot game of the second type pachinko machine, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted. When the jackpot game ends, the accessory continuous operation device operation flag and the condition device operation flag are cleared.

When the game ball enters the gate 94 and the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1, the display of the notification image is ended.
The notification image only has to be able to notify that the condition device operation flag = 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1, so that there is no particular limitation.

  However, it is clearly informed to the player that it is in this state, in particular, that the game ball needs to enter the gate 94 which is the jackpot control operation port in order to open the jackpot 95 (execution of the jackpot game). Is desirable. Therefore, it is desirable to display characters indicating that a big hit has occurred and that it is necessary to enter the gate 94.

  It is also effective to generate notification data for sound effects, transmit this to the sound effect control board 34, and perform notification to the same effect by voice in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. . Furthermore, it is also effective to generate notification data for electrical decoration, transmit this to the electrical control board 35, and perform notification by lighting or blinking of the electrical decoration in parallel with the display by the liquid crystal display device 32. It is.

  In addition, since this notification should just be made with either an image, an audio | voice, and an electrical decoration, the display of a notification image is not necessarily essential. However, it can be said that it is a good notification to display one or both of notification by voice and notification by electrical decoration after displaying a notification image.

  Thus, when the game ball enters the specific area 92 and enters the gate 94 under the condition that the condition device operation flag is set to 1, the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is set to 1, A jackpot game is executed.

  In other words, in order to play the jackpot game with the accessory continuous operation device operation flag set to 1, it is essential to enter the gate 94 under the condition that the condition device operation flag is set to 1. The gate 94 is provided at a position where it can be entered by launching a game ball aiming, so that, for example, unlike the case where it is provided in the variable winning device, the gate 94 is opened as a closing condition of the variable winning device. No longer tied to time or number of balls entered.

  At that time, the liquid crystal display device 32 informs that the condition device operation flag is set to 1 but the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is not 1. Therefore, the player forgets to aim at the gate 94. There is no fear, and it is possible to play a game using a period in which the condition device operation flag = 1 and the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1.

  In addition, although the gate 94 can be aimed at, if the condition device operation flag = 1 is not satisfied, even if the ball 94 is entered, the accessory continuous operation device operation flag = 1 is not set. Even if a ball enters, it can be irrelevant to the occurrence of the jackpot.

  Further, a relay board 37 without a CPU is interposed between the image control board 33 and the game control board 30, and the connection before and after the relay board 37 can be transmitted only from the game control board 30 to the image control board 33. Because of the circuit configuration, it is difficult to perform fraudulent acts and it is easy to find fraudulent acts. In other words, in order to perform an illegal act from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform an illegal action on the double one-way communication circuit, and the relay board 37 is a board on which no CPU is mounted. Therefore, it is easy to detect a fraudulent act directly from the relay board 37.

  More specifically, in order to perform an illegal act from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30, it is necessary to perform wiring to be transmitted from the image control board 33 to the game control board 30. However, since the game control board 30 and the image control board 33 are connected via the relay board 37, the wiring connecting the image control board 33 and the game control board 30 without the relay board 37 is illegal. Can be regarded as.

Conventionally, even a one-way communication circuit has not been routed through a relay board, and thus it has not been easy to find wiring due to fraud.
On the other hand, it is conceivable that an illegal game is performed from the relay board 37 to the game control board 30 through wiring caused by an illegal act. However, since the relay board 37 is configured as a board on which the CPU is not mounted, unauthorized modification can be easily found.

  Although apparent from the comparison between FIG. 19 and FIG. 13, the configurations described in [Control Board Correlation 1] to [Control Board Correlation 3] and illustrated in FIG. 13 to FIG. It can also be applied to the ball game machine of Example 3.

That is, if [Correlation 2 of the control board] is applied to the ball game machine of the third embodiment, a ball game machine embodying claim 6 is obtained, and [Correlation 3-1 of the control board] is applied to the embodiment. If it is applied to the bullet ball game machine of No. 3, the ball ball game machine embodying claim 7 is realized, and if [Correlation 3-2 of the control board] is applied to the bullet ball game machine of the third embodiment, it is claimed. It becomes a ball game machine that embodies.
[Others]
In the first embodiment, the condition device operation flag is set to 1 by reducing and displaying the condition device operation symbol in the lower corner of the screen 26 when the variable display of the accessory continuous operation device symbol is performed. Although it is informed that the continuous operation device operation flag is not 1, the condition device operation flag is set to 1 when the variable display of the accessory continuous operation device symbol is not performed as in the second embodiment or the modification. What is necessary is just to alert | report, for example by a character display that it is set but the accessory continuous action | operation apparatus operating flag is not 1. FIG.

Further, the notification of the condition device operation flag = 1 and the accessory continuous operation device operation flag ≠ 1 based on the image of the liquid crystal display device 32 and the light emission mode such as LED may be combined.
There is no limitation on the content and form of the notification by the image of the liquid crystal display device 32. For example, as in the second embodiment, the start port (ordinary electric accessory 36) and the jackpot control operation port (V entrance port 74) If the target area is different when aiming at the start-up port and aiming at the jackpot control operating port, which are not on the same flow path of the sphere, for example, a message such as “Please make a right-hand strike” is displayed as the notification.
