Since the predetermined portion of the small window 107 is flat, the certificate paper or the like attached to the lower right corner of the game board 30 can be suitably read from the flat portion of the small window 107 by a machine.

  In addition, a ball lending operation unit 120 is disposed below the window unit 101, and the ball lending operation unit 120 is provided with a ball lending button 121, a return button 122, and a frequency display unit 123. When the ball lending operation unit 120 is operated with a bill or a card inserted in a card unit (ball lending unit) (not shown) arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 10, a game ball is lent according to the operation. Done. The ball lending button 121 is operated to obtain a lending ball based on information recorded on a card or the like (recording medium), and the lending ball is supplied to the upper plate 19 as long as there is a remaining amount on the card or the like. Is done. The return button 122 is operated when requesting the return of a card or the like inserted into the card unit. The frequency display unit 123 displays remaining amount information such as a card. It should be noted that the ball rental operation unit 120 is not necessary for a pachinko machine in which game balls are lent directly to the upper plate from a ball lending device or the like without using a card unit, that is, a so-called cash machine. Therefore, a decorative seal or the like is attached to the installation portion of the ball rental operation unit 120. Thereby, the common use of the lending operation unit of the pachinko machine using the card unit and the cash machine can be achieved.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 30 is made of a rectangular plywood, and its peripheral portion is attached in contact with the back side of a resin base (not shown) of the inner frame 12. A gaming area 30a, which is a substantially central portion on the front side of the front side 30, is exposed to the front side of the inner frame 12 through the resin-based substantially circular window portion 101 (glass plate 137) shown in FIG.

  Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The game board 30 includes a general winning port 31, a variable winning device 32, first starting ports 33a and 33b (for example, operation chucker), a second starting port 34 (for example, a through gate), a variable display unit 35, and the like. Yes. These general winning port 31, variable winning device 32, first starting ports 33a and 33b (for example, operation chucker), second starting port 34 (for example, through gate), variable display unit 35, etc. Each of the through holes formed by router processing is disposed in each through hole, and is attached from the front side of the game board 30 with a wood screw or the like. A game ball enters the aforementioned general winning port 31, variable winning device 32, and first start ports 33a and 33b, and the detected balls are detected by detection switches (winning port switch, count switch, operation port switch) described later. Based on the output of the detection switch, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 19 (or the lower plate 15). As described above, the first start port 33a on the upper side is provided with an operation port switch (passage detection switch), and a ball entering the first start port 33a is detected by the operation port switch. It is like that. Further, an operating port switch (passage detection switch) is also provided in the second starting port 33b on the lower side, and a ball entering the second starting port 33b is detected by the operating port switch. . That is, in either case of entering a game ball into the first start port 33a or entering a game ball into the second start port 33b, it is still a start prize.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and game balls that have not entered the various winning devices or the like pass through the out port 36 in a ball discharge path (not shown). You will be guided to the direction. A number of nails are planted on the game board 30 in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game balls, and various members (acts) such as the windmill 37 are arranged.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a first symbol display device 40 for variably displaying a first symbol (for example, a special symbol) as identification information, triggered by winning in the first start ports 33a and 33b, and a second start. With the passage of the mouth 34 as a trigger, the second symbol display device 41 that variably displays the second symbol (for example, a normal symbol) and the winning of the first start ports 33a and 33b as a trigger, the third symbol (for example, a decorative symbol) ) In a variable manner.

  The first symbol display device 40 includes, for example, a plurality (two in this embodiment) of two-color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40a and 40b, and a hold indicating the number of hold of the variable display on the LEDs 40a and 40b. And a lamp 40c. The LEDs 40a and 40b can emit light in red and blue, for example. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40a, 40b) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40a, 40b, for example, When both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a red light emitting state, a probable big hit (specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are mutually connected. When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  In addition, as this 1st symbol display apparatus 40, you may employ | adopt the single LED of the type which can light-emit at least 3 colors or more, and by performing light emission of each color alternately, the 1st symbol is displayed. When the LED stops in the light emission state of the first color, it shows a probable big hit (specific hit), and when the LED stops in the light emission state of the second color, it usually shows a big hit (non-specific hit) When the LED stops in the light emission state of the third color, it may be indicated that the LED has come off. The first symbol display device 40 described above corresponds to the identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The second symbol display device 41 includes, for example, a display unit 41a on which “○” is drawn for the second symbol, a display unit 41b on which “x” is drawn for the second symbol, and a holding lamp 41c. When the game ball passes through the second starting port 34, for example, the display symbols (ordinary symbols) displayed by the display units 41a and 41b change, and when the change display stops at a predetermined symbol, the lower side One start port 33b is configured to be in an activated state (opened) for a predetermined time. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start port 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times the game ball is held is lit on the hold lamp 41c. The display units 41a and 41b have LEDs (light emitting diodes) inside thereof, and are configured to be variably displayed by switching the light emission of the LEDs (or lighting of the lamps). The second symbol display device 41 described above corresponds to the normal identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The 3rd symbol display apparatus 42 is comprised, for example with the liquid crystal display device, and the display content is controlled by the display control apparatus 45 mentioned later. On the third symbol display device 42, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 described later, three decorative symbol rows L, M, and R on the left, middle, and right are displayed. Each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R is composed of a plurality of decorative symbols, and these decorative symbols are variably displayed on the third symbol display device 42 so as to be scrolled for each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R. It has become so. In the present embodiment, the third symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device) includes, for example, a large 9.3 inch size liquid crystal display. The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 so as to surround the third symbol display device 42. The above-described third symbol display device 42 corresponds to decoration identification information (design) variation display means in the present invention, and the above-described display control device 45 corresponds to display control means in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won or difficult to win, and is in an open state in which a game ball is easy to win in the case of a big win and a normal closed state. It is operated repeatedly. As described above, a state in which the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly operated in an open state and a normal closed state in the case of a big win is called a special game state (for example, a big win state). Since the ball enters (wins) and a lot of game balls are paid out for the winning, the game state is advantageous to the player.

  More specifically, when a game ball wins the first start opening 33a, 33b, the two LEDs 40a, 40b of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40a, 40b after the change stop is preset. The special gaming state occurs when the combination of the light emission modes is achieved. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a special gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a blue light emitting state. In the case of the light-emitting mode, it means that the special game state of the big hit (non-specific hit) is normally won, and in the case of the light-emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in the light-emitting states of different colors. (You have lost the special game state).

  The variable winning device 32 is configured such that the large winning opening 32a is in a predetermined open state, and the game ball is likely to win (a big hit state). Specifically, the special winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times (the number of rounds) with the passage of a predetermined time or a predetermined number of winnings in the open state as one round. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the first start ports 33a and 33b is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times that the game ball is held is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 40c. Note that the hold lamp 40c may be configured such that a hold display is performed on a part of the display screen of the third symbol display device 42.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a rail unit 50 for guiding the game ball launched from the game ball launcher 38 (see FIG. 3) to the upper part of the game board 30 is attached to the game board 30. A game ball launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launch handle 18 is guided to a predetermined game area 30a through a ball guide passage 49 (to be described later) of the rail unit 50. The rail unit 50 is formed of a ring-shaped resin molded product (for example, a molded product added with fluororesin), and has an inner rail 51 and an outer rail 52 that are integrally formed in an inner and outer double. . The inner rail 51 is formed in a substantially annular shape except for about 1/4 of the upper part, and the outer rail 52 is formed so that a part (mainly the left side) faces the inner rail 51. In such a case, a guide rail is constituted by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, and a ball guide passage 49 is formed by a portion (the left portion toward the left) where the rails 51 and 52 are parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. . The ball guide passage 49 is formed in a groove shape having a contact surface with the game board 30, that is, a groove shape in which the front side is opened.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 2). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the ball guide passage 49 between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 to the upper portion of the game board 30 returns to the ball guide passage 49 again. It has become. Further, a return rubber 54 is attached to the outer rail 52 at a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the game ball (upper right portion in FIG. 2: a portion corresponding to the tip portion of the outer rail 52). Therefore, the game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is bounced back. On the inner surface of the outer rail 52, there is a sliding plate 55 as a long metal strip made of stainless steel to make the flight of the game ball smoother, that is, to reduce the frictional resistance of the game ball. It is attached.

  Further, an arc-shaped flange 56 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the rail unit 50 so as to project outward from the periphery when viewed from the front. The flange 56 constitutes a mounting surface for the game board 30. When the rail unit 50 is attached to the game board 30, the flange 56 is brought into contact with the game board 30, and in this state, screws or the like are inserted into a plurality of through holes formed in the flange 56. The rail unit 50 is fastened to 30.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the top, bottom, left, and right ends of the rail unit 50 are formed in a substantially straight line (flat) when viewed from the front. That is, the flange 56 is cut off at each of the upper, lower, left and right ends of the rail unit 50 so that the rail diameter can be expanded in a limited area in the pachinko machine 10, that is, the game area 30a on the game board 30 can be expanded. It has become.

  A convex portion 57 is formed at the entrance of the ball guide passage 49 between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 so as to close a part of the ball guide passage 49. The convex portion 57 is provided in a substantially vertical direction from the inner rail 51 to the lower end portion of the rail unit 50, and a foul ball that does not reach the game area 30 a and flows backward in the ball guide passage 49 is provided on the inner frame 12. It plays a role of guiding to a ball passage (not shown). Note that the lower right corner and the lower left corner of the game board 30 are spaces for attaching stickers (eg, S1 and S2 in FIG. 2) and plates such as certificate stamps (for example, serial numbers are described). In order to secure this adhering space, notches 58 and 59 are formed in the flange 56. By sticking a sticker such as a certificate (S1, S2 in FIG. 2) to the lower right corner or the lower left corner of the game board 30, the game board 30 and the certificate can be uniquely defined.

  Next, the game area 30a of the game board 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the game area 30 a is partitioned into a substantially circular shape by the inner peripheral portion (inner and outer rails) of the rail unit 50. In particular, in the present embodiment, the game area 30 a is partitioned on the board surface of the game board 30. The game area 30a is configured to be much larger than before. In the present embodiment, the distance between the uppermost point of the outer rail 52 and the lower part of the game board 30 is 445 mm (58 mm longer than the conventional product), and is from the extreme left position of the outer rail 52 to the extreme right position of the inner rail 51. The distance is 435 mm (50 mm longer than the conventional product). The distance from the extreme left position of the inner rail 51 to the extreme right position of the inner rail 51 is 418 mm.

  In the present embodiment, the game area 30a is viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10, and the area of the guide rail that is a parallel part of the inner and outer rails 51 and 52 is excluded from the area surrounded by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52. As an area. Accordingly, when the game area 30 a is referred to, the guide rail portion is not included, and therefore the left limit position toward the game area 30 a is specified by the inner rail 51, not by the outer rail 52. Similarly, the right limit position toward the game area 30 a is specified by the inner rail 51. Further, the lower limit position of the game area 30 a is specified by the lower end position of the game board 30. The upper limit position of the game area 30 a is specified by the outer rail 52.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the width (maximum width in the left-right direction) of the game area 30a is 418 mm, and the height (maximum width in the vertical direction) of the game area 30a is 445 mm.

  Although detailed disclosure of the drawings is omitted, game balls are supplied to the game ball launcher 38 one by one from the ball outlet on the front frame set 14 side (the ball outlet leading from the most downstream portion of the upper plate 19). .

  Next, the configuration of the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko machine 10 is configured such that various control boards are arranged vertically or horizontally on the back surface (actually the back surface of the inner frame 12 and the game board 30) or stacked in front and back. Further, a game ball supply device (payout mechanism portion 352) for supplying game balls, a protective cover made of resin, and the like are attached. In this embodiment, various control boards are divided into two mounting bases to form two control board units, and these control board units are individually attached to the inner frame 12 or the back of the game board 30. ing. In this case, the main control device 261 and the sub control device 262 shown in FIG. 4 to be described later are mounted on one mounting base 400 (see FIG. 15 to be described later) to form a unit, and the payout shown in FIG. The control device 311, the launch control device 312 and the power supply device 313 are mounted on the other mounting base to form a unit. Here, for convenience, the former unit is referred to as “first control board unit 201”, and the latter unit is referred to as “second control board unit 202”.

  Further, since the dispensing mechanism 352 and the protective cover are also integrated as one unit, and the resin portion is generally referred to as a back pack, the unit is referred to as a “back pack unit 203” here. The detailed configuration of each unit 201 to 203 will be described later.

  The first control board unit 201, the second control board unit 202, and the back pack unit 203 are configured so that they can be attached and detached without using any tools or the like in units of units. It is provided and can be opened and closed with respect to the inner frame 12 or the back surface of the game board 30. This is also a device for making it possible to easily check a hidden configuration or the like even if the units 201 to 203 and other configurations are arranged one behind the other.

  In addition, on the back surface of the game board 30, a winning detection mechanism for detecting the passage of game balls such as various winning holes is provided. Specifically, a prize opening switch is provided at a position corresponding to the general prize opening 31 on the front side of the game board 30, and the variable prize winning device 32 is provided with a count switch. The count switch is a switch for counting winning balls. In addition, operation port switches are provided at positions corresponding to the first start ports 33a and 33b, respectively, and the entry of game balls into the first start ports 33a and 33b is detected by the operation port switches. A gate switch is provided at a position corresponding to the second starting port 34, and the passage of the game ball to the second starting port 34 is detected by the operating port switch. ing. The operating port switch described above corresponds to the winning detection means in the present invention.

  The prize opening switch and the gate switch are connected to a board connection board (not shown) through electrical wiring (not shown), and this board connection board is further connected to a main control board 261a (see FIG. 4) in a main controller 261 described later. ing. Further, the count switch is connected to a large winning opening relay terminal board (not shown), and this large winning opening relay terminal board (not shown) is also connected to the main control board 261a. On the other hand, the operation port switch is directly connected to the main control board 261a without going through the relay board.

  Although not shown in the drawings, the variable prize winning device 32 is provided with a big prize opening solenoid for opening the big prize opening 32a, and the lower first start opening 33b is used for opening the electric accessory. Is provided.

  The detection results detected by the winning detection mechanism are taken into a main control board 261a in a main control device 261, which will be described later, and the main control board 261a issues a payout command (a game ball of each game ball) according to the winning situation each time. The number of payouts) is transmitted to the payout control board 311a. Then, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out by the output of the payout control board 311a. In such a case, a conventional method (so-called evidence ball method) in which game balls won in various winning openings are once collected in a winning ball processing device and paid out after the winning ball processing device confirms the presence of winning balls one by one in order. Unlike the above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the winning of a game ball is electrically detected for each winning opening and the payout is immediately made (that is, the winning ball processing apparatus is abolished in the pachinko machine 10). is doing). Therefore, even if there are a lot of game balls to be paid out, the payout can be carried out quickly. However, the conventional “evidence ball system” may be applied to the present invention.

  The first control board unit 201 has a mounting table 400 (see FIG. 15) having a substantially L shape, and the main control device 261 and the sub control device 262 are mounted on the mounting table 400. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control device 261 includes a CPU 501 that performs main control, a ROM 502 that stores a game program, a RAM 503 that stores necessary data according to the progress of the game, and various devices. Main control including an input / output port 505 for communication, a random number generator (not shown) used in various lotteries, a clock pulse generation circuit (not shown) used for time counting and synchronization, etc. The main control board 261a is configured to be accommodated in a board box 263 (encapsulating means) made of a transparent resin material or the like. The substrate box 263 includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped box base 450 (see FIG. 15 described later) and a box cover 451 (see FIG. 15 described later) covering an opening of the box base 450. The box base 450 and the box cover 451 are connected to each other by a sealing unit 452 (see FIG. 15 described later) so that the substrate box 263 is sealed.

  As the sealing unit 452 as the sealing means, any configuration can be applied as long as it connects the box base 450 and the box cover 451 so that they cannot be opened, but in this embodiment, for example, five sealing members 453 (FIG. 15 described later). Reference) is connected, and the box base 450 and the box cover 451 are connected so that they cannot be opened by inserting a locking claw into the long hole of the sealing member 453. Sealing processing by the sealing unit 452 prevents unauthorized opening after the sealing, and makes it possible to detect such a situation early and easily even if unauthorized opening is performed. It is possible to perform the opening / sealing process again even after the operation. That is, the sealing process is performed by inserting a locking claw into the long hole of at least one sealing member 453 among the five sealing members 453 constituting the sealing unit 452 (not shown). When the board box 263 is opened due to a failure of the accommodated main control board 261a or the like, the connection between the sealing member 453 into which the locking claw is inserted and the other sealing member 453 is cut. Thereafter, when the sealing process is performed again, the locking claw is inserted into the long hole of the other sealing member 453. If the history of opening the substrate box 263 is left in the substrate box 263, it can be easily found that the unauthorized opening has been performed by looking at the substrate box 263.

  Further, the sub control device 262, for example, in accordance with an instruction from the main control board 261a in the main control device 261, controls the voice and lamp display and the control of the display control device 45, the other ROM 552, RAM 553, bus line 554, A sub-control board 262a including an input / output port 555 and the like is provided, and the sub-control board 262a is housed in a board box (not shown) made of a transparent resin material or the like. A power supply relay board (not shown) is mounted on the sub-control device 262, and power supplied from a power supply board described later is supplied to the sub-control device 262 and the display control device 45 via the power supply relay board (not shown). Is output.

  The second control board unit 202 has a horizontally long mounting base (not shown) on which a payout control device 311, a firing control device 312, a power supply device 313 and a card unit connection board (not shown) are mounted. ing. The payout control device 311 includes a control board including a central control CPU, a ROM, a RAM, various ports, and the like. The launch control device 312 includes a launch control board. The power supply device 313 includes a power supply. A control board is provided. The payout control board 311a of the payout control device 311 controls payout of prize balls and rental balls. In addition, the launch control board of the launch control apparatus 312 controls the launch apparatus 229 (see FIG. 4) in accordance with the operation of the game ball launch handle 18 by the player. The required power supply voltage required is generated and output. The launching device 229 of the present embodiment employs a solenoid-type launching component that strikes and launches a game ball with a launching rod (not shown) that can advance and retreat in accordance with energization / non-energization of a launching solenoid (not shown). As other launching devices 229, there are various types such as a mechanical launching part that strikes and launches a game ball with a launcher that operates according to the driving of a launching motor, and an electromagnetic launching part that launches a game ball by generating an electromagnetic field. Can be used. The card unit connection board (not shown) is electrically connected to the ball lending operation unit 120 (see FIG. 1) on the front surface of the pachinko machine and a card unit (not shown), and takes in and issues a ball lending operation command by the player. This is output to the control device 311. Note that the card unit connection board 314 is unnecessary in a cash machine in which game balls are lent directly to the upper plate 19 from a ball lending device or the like without using a card unit.

  The payout control device 311, the firing control device 312, the power supply device 313 and the card unit connection board (not shown) are respectively housed and configured in a substrate box (not shown) made of a transparent resin material or the like. In particular, in the payout control device 311, similarly to the main control device 261 described above, the box base 450 and the box cover 451 constituting the substrate box (encapsulating means) are connected by the sealing unit 452 (sealing means) so that they cannot be opened, As a result, the substrate box is sealed.

  The payout control device 311 is provided with a state return switch (not shown). For example, when a state return switch (not shown) is pressed when a payout error occurs, such as a ball jam in the payout motor unit, the payout motor 358a (see FIG. 4) slowly rotates forward to eliminate the ball jam (normal state). (Return to).

  Further, a RAM erase switch 323 is provided on the power supply monitoring board 261b. This pachinko machine 10 has a backup function, so that even if a power failure occurs, it maintains the state at the time of a power failure, and can be restored to the state at the time of a power failure when returning from a power failure (power recovery) It has become. Therefore, if the power is turned off in the normal procedure (for example, when the hall is closed), the state before the power is turned off is stored and retained. We are going to throw it in.

  Next, the configuration of the back pack unit 203 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the back pack unit 203 is a unit in which a back pack 351 formed of resin and a payout mechanism portion 352 for a game ball are integrated.

  The back pack unit 203 is provided with a tank 355 that opens upward at the top, and the tank 355 is sequentially replenished with game balls supplied from the island equipment (game island equipment) of the game hall. Below the tank 355 is connected, for example, a tank rail 356 that has two rows of spherical passages in the horizontal direction and gently descends and inclines toward the downstream side. Further, a case rail 357 is installed on the downstream side of the tank rail 356 in the vertical direction. Are connected. A payout device 358 is provided at the most downstream portion of the case rail 357, and a required number of game balls are paid out appropriately according to a predetermined electrical configuration such as a payout motor 358a. The game balls paid out from the payout device 358 are supplied to the upper plate 19 through a payout passage (not shown).

  The tank rail 356 is provided with a vibrator 360 for applying vibration to the tank rail 356. For example, the vibrator 360 is fastened and attached to the tank rail 356 with, for example, two screws. Further, the vibrator 360 is not in surface contact with the tank rail 356 but is in contact with the two screw portions, so that the vibration by the vibrator 360 is more effectively transmitted to the tank rail 356. ing. Therefore, if a clogged ball occurs near the tank rail 356, the clogged ball is eliminated by driving the vibrator 360.

  The main control device 261 of the pachinko machine 10 is equipped with a CPU 501 as a one-chip microcomputer that is an arithmetic device. The CPU 501 includes a ROM 502 that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 501 and fixed value data, and a memory that temporarily stores various data when the control program stored in the ROM 502 is executed. A RAM 503 and various circuits such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, and a data transmission / reception circuit are incorporated.

  The RAM 503 has a configuration in which data can be retained (backed up) by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply device 313 even after the pachinko machine 10 is turned off. The RAM 503 temporarily stores various data and the like. It has a memory and area.

  That is, when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 executes the normal processing up to the end, so that the RAM 503 is when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs, and so on). It is only necessary to store and hold the contents of the counter buffer and the holding ball storage area, and the state of the pachinko machine 10 can be restored to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned on again. Specifically, the RAM 503 has a dedicated backup area for storing values of registers, I / O, and the like for game information during normal processing when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs). There is no need to provide it. The N501 terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the CPU 501 is configured to receive a power failure signal S1 output from a power failure monitoring circuit 542, which will be described later, when a power failure occurs due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. Due to the occurrence, the power failure process (NMI interrupt process) is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 505 is connected to the CPU 501 incorporating the ROM 502 and RAM 503 via a bus line 504 including an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port 505 includes a RAM erasing switch circuit 543, a payout control device 311, a firing control device 312, a sub control device 262, a first symbol display device 40, a second symbol display device 41, and other switches not shown. Etc. are connected. The main controller 261 also has a function of controlling the first symbol variation display on the first symbol display device 40 and the second symbol variation display on the second symbol display device 41.

  The payout control device 311 controls payout of prize balls and rental balls by a payout motor 358a. The CPU 511 that is an arithmetic unit includes a ROM 512 that stores a control program executed by the CPU 511, fixed value data, and the like, and a RAM 513 that is used as a work memory or the like.

  The RAM 513 of the payout control device 311 is configured to hold (backup) data by supplying a backup voltage from the power supply device 313 even after the pachinko machine 10 is turned off, like the RAM 503 of the main control device 261 described above. The RAM 513 includes a memory and an area for temporarily storing various data.

  The RAM 513 stores and holds information related to the state when the power is turned off in order to return the state of the pachinko machine 10 to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like. In other words, the storage of the RAM 513 is executed when the power is turned off by the NMI interrupt process and the second half of the payout control process, and the storage information stored in the RAM 513 is restored in the power recovery process when the power is turned on. .

  An input / output port 515 is connected to the CPU 511 incorporating the ROM 512 and the RAM 513 through a bus line 514 including an address bus and a data bus. Main controller 261, launch controller 312 and payout motor 358a are connected to input / output port 515, respectively.

The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the voltage of AC 24 volts with the power supply unit 541 and determines that a power failure (power failure) has occurred when the time when this voltage has become less than 24 volts exceeds, for example, 20 milliseconds. The power failure signal S1 is output to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal S1, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 recognize the occurrence of a power failure and execute a power failure process (NMI interrupt process).

  In addition, even after the time when the alternating current 5 volts monitored by the power supply unit 541 becomes less than 5 volts exceeds 20 milliseconds, the power supply unit 541 has a sufficient time for execution of the power failure process. The control system is configured to maintain the output of 5 volts, which is the drive voltage of the control system, at a normal value. Therefore, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the power failure process.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit for taking in the switch signal of the RAM erase switch 323 and clearing backup data in the RAM 503 of the main controller 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 in accordance with the state of the switch 323. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal S2 to the main control board 261a. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch 323 pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the RAM 503 is cleared in the main controller 261, and the payout controller 311 is in the main controller.
