Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that performs a movable effect by interlocking a plurality of effect movable members.

  Conventionally, as this type of gaming machine, a pair of solenoids is provided with a movable member for production, and the pair of solenoids are driven and controlled by common drive control data (on / off data). The thing which makes the movable member perform the same operation | movement is known (for example, refer patent document 1).

JP 2003-93608 A (paragraphs [0200] to [0204], FIGS. 35 to 39)

  However, in the configuration of the conventional gaming machine described above, since the common drive control data is used to drive and control the pair of solenoids, the pair of solenoids can only perform the same operation. For this reason, the pair of solenoids are used to cause the pair of production movable members to perform the same operation, to perform a symmetrical operation, or to perform the operations reversed from each other. Therefore, it is necessary to change the arrangement of a pair of solenoids and the power transmission mechanism between each solenoid and each effectable movable member depending on whether it is used. In other words, there is a problem that the degree of freedom in designing the arrangement of the solenoid and the power transmission mechanism is limited. In addition, in the conventional gaming machine described above, for example, due to variations in operation between a pair of solenoids (specifically, variations in operation speed, operation acceleration, responsiveness, etc.), There is also a problem that the movements may deviate from each other and a high-quality movable performance cannot be performed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can increase the degree of freedom in design and can perform a high-quality movable effect.

The gaming machine according to the invention of claim 1 made to achieve the above object is driven by a pair of electric drive means capable of position control based on position control data and a pair of electric drive means. In order to detect whether or not the pair of effect movable members and the pair of effect movable members that reciprocate between the one end origin position and the other end separation position are located at the one end origin position, respectively. In a gaming machine comprising a pair of origin sensors and a drive control means for moving the output unit of each electric drive means while controlling the position according to position control data, between the pair of electric drive means, A position control data table is provided that stores the position control data in a linked state in which the position control data are uniquely associated with each other, and the drive control means includes a position control data from the position control data table for each pair of uniquely associated position control data. Sequentially By using it, the pair of electrical drive means is configured to be interlocked, and the origin sensor is configured to output a different numerical value depending on whether or not the production movable member is positioned at the origin position at one end. Whether both the detection data processing means for calculating the added numerical value data, which is the sum of the numerical values output from the pair of origin sensors, and the pair of effect movable members are positioned at the origin position based on the added numerical value data The drive control means includes a discriminating means for discriminating whether only one is located at one end origin position, only the other is located at one end origin position, or both are not located at one end origin position. characterized in place was.

[Invention of Claim 1]
The gaming machine according to claim 1 is a pair of production movable members by controlling driving of a pair of electrical drive means using a position control data for each pair of position control data uniquely corresponding to the game machine. It is possible to perform a uniquely corresponding operation, and it is also possible to accurately correspond the positions of the pair of effect movable members during those operations. Thereby, the shift | offset | difference of operation | movement between the movable members for production like the past is suppressed, and a high quality movable production can be performed. Further, by changing the unique correspondence between the position control data and storing it in the position control data table, the mode of interlocking between the pair of electrical drive means can be easily changed. As a result, the degree of freedom in design related to the arrangement of the electric drive means and the power transmission mechanism from the electric drive means to the effect movable member is increased.

And according to this invention, based on the addition numerical value data which is the sum of the numerical value which a pair of origin sensor output, both of a pair of production movable members are located in one end origin position, or only one is It is possible to determine four states: one end origin position, the other only one end origin position, and both not one end origin positions, thereby simplifying data processing. It is done .

A power supply board 160 and a payout control board 170 are provided below the main control board 110, and a launch control board 180 and a game ball launcher 181 are provided below the power supply board 160. In addition, a power receiving board 190 and a game ball tank 200 are provided above the main control board 110, and a prize ball payout device 171 and a ball rental payout device 172 are provided on the side of the main control board 110. These various substrates 110 to 190 are respectively accommodated in a substrate case, and each substrate case is assembled at a predetermined position on the rear surface of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the main control board 110 includes, as a main part, a one-chip microcomputer 111 in which a CPU 111A, a RAM 111B, and a ROM 111C are packaged together. The one-chip microcomputer 111 receives detection signals from various sensors and switches for detecting a winning ball via the input / output circuits 115 and 115, and is based on a main control circuit main program PG1 (see FIG. 13) described later. Process. Then, control data is output to the sub control board 120 and the payout control board 170 according to the processing result.

  Similar to the main control board 110, the sub-control board 120 includes a one-chip microcomputer 121 formed by packaging a CPU 121A, a RAM 121B, and a ROM 121C. In the one-chip microcomputer 121, the CPU 121A retrieves a sub control circuit main program PG2 (see FIG. 26) described later from the ROM 121C and runs it. The one-chip microcomputer 121 outputs control data to the sound lamp control board 130 and the display control board 140 in accordance with the control data output from the main control board 110.

  The sound lamp control board 130 creates or reads out sound data and light emission pattern data based on the control data received from the main control board 110, generates sound from the speakers 30 and 30 based on the data, and generates a pachinko game. The frame decoration lamp 33, other lamps, and LEDs provided in the machine 10 are turned on / off.

  Similar to the main control board 110, the display control board 140 includes a one-chip microcomputer in which a CPU, a RAM, and a ROM are packaged. In the one-chip microcomputer 141, based on the control data received from the sub-control board 120, the CPU extracts predetermined data from the ROM, and a game image (special symbol, effect symbol, background image, character image, A character image or the like) and output the image data to the display device 35.

  The payout control board 170 is based on a signal from the main control board 110 based on the winning of a game ball to each winning opening 14, 15, 20, 21 or a signal from the prepaid card unit 210 (see FIG. 1). The prize ball payout device 171 and the rental ball payout device 172 are driven to pay out the game balls to the upper plate 27A.

  These control boards and devices operate by receiving power from the power supply board 160. Specifically, the power cable 191 (see FIG. 2) of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is connected to an AC 24V facility power source (not shown) provided in the pachinko hall. Power from the AC 24 V facility power supply is supplied to the power supply board 160 via the power receiving board 190, and is distributed from the power supply board 160 to each control board and each device.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 1, the accessory provided on the front surface of the game board 11 will be described in detail. The general winning ports 20 and 21 have a so-called pocket structure, and are opened upward in such a size that only one game ball can enter. When winning a prize at the general winning openings 20, 21, the game ball is taken into the back side of the game board 11, and a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 27A by the prize ball payout device 171 instead.

  The start gate 18 has a gate-like structure through which game balls can pass through, and the passed game balls are detected by a gate switch 18W (see FIG. 3) built in the start gate 18. Based on this detection signal, the normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display device 19 provided separately from the display device 35.

  The normal symbol display device 19 is provided on the left side of the start gate 18. The normal symbol display device 19 is, for example, a 7-segment LED. When the gate switch 18W detects a game ball (the game ball passes through the start gate 18), the numbers from “0” to “9” are set for a predetermined period. After the variable display is performed, a predetermined number is fixedly displayed. For example, when the displayed number is an odd number, the start winning opening 14 is in an open state, so that the game ball can easily win. In addition, the game balls that have passed through the start gate 18 while the normal symbol display unit 19 is variably displayed are cumulatively counted up to a predetermined number (for example, four), and are displayed as the number of lit LEDs (not shown). The normal symbols displayed on the normal symbol display unit 19 are not limited to numbers, and may be alphabets or symbols.

  The start winning opening 14 has a so-called pocket structure and opens upward, and movable wing pieces 14C and 14C are provided on both sides of the opening. Both the movable blade pieces 14C and 14C are always in an upright state. In the standing state, the opening width of the start winning opening 14 sandwiched between the movable wing pieces 14C and 14C is the size of just one game ball. That is, although it is possible to win, it is relatively difficult to win.

  On the other hand, when the normal symbol display unit 19 stops display with an odd number and the release condition is satisfied, the start winning opening 14 is opened. That is, the movable wing pieces 14C, 14C provided in the start winning opening 14 are tilted left and right over a predetermined period (for example, 0.4 seconds) by a solenoid (not shown) provided on the back of the game board 11. When the movable wing pieces 14C and 14C are tilted to the left and right, the opening width of the start winning opening 14 is widened, and the game balls are guided to the movable wing pieces 14C and 14C which have fallen, so that the start winning opening 14 can be won. That is, it becomes a state where it is relatively easy to win the start winning opening 14.

  When a game ball wins the start winning opening 14 (corresponding to “satisfaction determination condition establishment” according to the present invention), a start opening sensor 14W (see FIG. 3) provided in the start winning opening 14 receives the game ball. Based on the detection signal, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 27A by the prize ball payout device 171. Further, when a game ball wins at the start winning opening 14, a right / no-go determination right for determining whether or not to perform “big hit game” is generated by a determination unit for determining whether or not to perform “big hit game”, which will be described later. To be notified.

  Specifically, on the display screen 36 of the display device 35, three left, middle, and right special symbols (not shown) are normally displayed side by side. Each of these special symbols is composed of, for example, a plurality of types representing numbers “0” to “11”, and usually, a predetermined type of each special symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, when the game ball is won at the start winning opening 14, these three special symbols are displayed in a variable manner (scrolled up and down), and after a predetermined time, for example, each special symbol in the order of left, middle and right. Is stopped. At this time, for example, when all the special symbols become the same symbol, that is, when they are all in a row, the game shifts from “normal game” to “big hit game”. Further, when only the special symbol to be stopped last is left and the remaining two special symbols are stopped with the same symbol, the game is in the “reach state”.

  The reach state is not limited to the above, and when a game hit / fail is displayed with a combination of multiple symbols, some of the multiple symbols are stopped and other symbols are changing. The state where the symbols that are stopped and displayed constitute a part of the symbol combination that means winning.

  It should be noted that the number of game balls won at the start winning opening 14 while the special symbol is variably displayed on the display screen 36 or during the “big hit game” is a predetermined upper limit number (for example, a maximum of four). When the stop display or “big hit game” ends with the combination of symbols with the special symbol out of place, the special symbol variation display is started again based on the reserved memory.

  Further, when the jackpot is established, for example, if the special symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state with an odd number of eyes, a “probability variation game” is given after the jackpot game ends. In probability variation games, the probability of the next jackpot occurrence is higher (for example, 20/361) compared to the normal gaming state (low probability state, for example, 2/361), and this probability variation state is continued until the next jackpot. It is supposed to be. If the game is not confirmed and stopped at odd numbers, the probability variation game is not executed and the normal game state is continued until the next jackpot.

  The special winning opening 15 is formed in a horizontally long shape and is normally closed by the movable door 15T. When the pachinko gaming machine 10 becomes a “big hit game”, the movable door 15T is tilted forward by a solenoid 15S (see FIG. 3) provided on the back of the game board 11 over a predetermined period. Thereby, the grand prize opening 15 is opened, and the game ball can be awarded to the big prize opening 15 by using the movable door 15T as a guide. Here, when the movable door 15T is opened and closed, it is referred to as “round”. In one round, the movable door 15T has been opened for 30 seconds or a game is played in the grand prize opening 15. The process ends when any of the end conditions of 10 balls has been won first. Further, the “big hit game” is continued up to, for example, 15 rounds.

  Although not shown in the drawing, a continuous winning opening and a counting winning opening are provided inside the big winning opening 15. When the movable door 15T is opened, the continuous prize opening is open, and when the continuous prize opening is won, the continuous prize opening is closed while the counting prize opening is kept open. When the specific area sensor 15W1 (see FIG. 3) provided in the continuous winning opening detects the winning of the game ball, the above-described end condition (the opening time of the movable door 15T reaches 30 seconds or the game ball enters the big winning opening 15). After 10 rounds have been satisfied and the round has ended, the next round is continuously executed. Further, when the count sensor 15W2 (see FIG. 3) provided in the counting winning opening detects the winning of the game ball, the winning balls to the big winning opening 15 are counted together with the winning balls to the continuous winning opening. As described above, it is checked whether or not a total of 10 has been reached. The jackpot game ends when the fifteenth round is completed or when no game balls are won in the continuous winning opening during one round. When a game ball wins the grand prize opening 15, a predetermined number of game balls that are larger than when winning the other winning openings 14, 20, 21 are paid out to the upper plate 27 </ b> A by the prize ball payout device 171.

FIG.

  A sensor 76 (for example, a transmissive photo interrupter) is mounted on the back surface of the center LED substrate 73 in order to count the number of rotations of the rotating lamp cover 72. Specifically, an annular wall (not shown) standing up toward the rear surface of the center LED substrate 73 is integrally formed with the spur gear 72G fixed to the rotation shaft of the rotating lamp cover 72. A notch is formed at one location on the wall. The sensor 76 optically detects this notch, and the number of notches detected is counted as the number of rotations of the rotating lamp cover 72. When the preset number of rotations is reached, the center electrical decoration motor 74 is automatically stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the cylindrical case 71, a first shaft support cylinder 77 having a circular hole penetrating in the front-rear direction on the left and right sides sandwiching the center electrical decoration motor 74, and in the front-rear direction A second shaft support cylinder 78 having a penetrating horizontal hole 78H (see FIG. 10) is integrally formed.

  In the circular hole of the first shaft support cylinder 77, the second rotating support shaft 64 erected from one side electric ornament 62 (specifically, the left side electric ornament 62 in FIG. 10) can rotate and slide. Accepted impossible.

  On the other hand, in the horizontally elongated hole 78H of the second shaft support cylinder 78, the second rotation support shaft 64 erected from the other side illumination body 62 (specifically, the right side illumination body 62 in FIG. 10) rotates. It is housed slidably. As a result, the center electric decoration body 70 is pivotally supported so as to be rotatable relative to the side electric decoration bodies 62 and 62, and the pair of side electric decoration bodies 62 and 62 are supported by the first rotation spindles 63 and 63. When rotating in opposite directions around the center (when moving between the retracted position and the lowered position), the second rotating support shafts 64 and 64 provided on the both side electric decoration bodies 62 and 62 approach each other. And separation are possible. That is, the center electrical decoration body 70 absorbs the approach and separation of the second rotational support shafts 64 accompanying the rotation of the both side electrical decoration bodies 62, 62. Since the pair of side illumination bodies 62, 62 has an arm structure extending in a direction orthogonal to each first rotation support shaft 63, the rotation angle of the pair of side illumination bodies 62, 62 is It is possible to clearly see the change in the above, and it can be shown that the symmetry is accurately maintained.

  With the configuration described above, the symmetry of the pair of side illumination bodies 62 and 62 can be accurately maintained, and the pair of side illumination bodies 62 and 62 can be rotated on the front side of the display device 35. . As a result, the posture of the pair of side electric decorations 62 and 62 and the center electric decoration 70 that communicates between the pair of side electric decorations 62 and 62 is stabilized, and each of the side electric elements that drive the pair of side electric decorations 62 and 62 described later is driven. The load on the decoration motors 83 and 83 is also stabilized, and the operation of the pair of side electric decorations 62 and 62 and the center electric decoration 70 as a whole is stabilized.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the driving devices 80, 80 in the electric accessory unit 60 are fixed at both upper corner positions of the rear display frame 50. The drive device 80 includes a side electric decoration motor 83 (specifically, a stepping motor, which corresponds to the “electric drive means” of the present invention) as a drive source. The side electric decoration motor 83 is arranged so that the output shaft faces the front-rear direction, and a first spur gear 81 (see FIG. 8) is connected to the output shaft. The rotation shaft 81J of the first spur gear 81 is offset from the output shaft of the side electric decoration motor 83, and the space between the first spur gear 81 and the output shaft of the side electric decoration motor 83 is not shown. It is connected with idle gear. A second spur gear 82 is pivotally supported at an intermediate position between the first spur gear 81 and the first rotation support shaft 63, and the first spur gear 81 and the second spur gears 81, 82 are connected to each other. Meshed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the crank pin 82P protrudes in parallel with the rotation shaft 82J from a position offset laterally from the rotation shaft 82J on the front surface of the second spur gear 82. The crank pin 82P performs a circular motion when the side electric decoration motor 83 operates and the second spur gear 82 rotates.

  The crank pin 82P is slidably accommodated in a long hole 67H of the link arm 67 extending from the side electric decoration 62 toward the driving device 80. When the crank pin 82P performs a circular motion, the relative position between the crank pin 82P and the first rotating support shaft 63 of the side electric decoration 62 changes, and the crank pin 82P is cranked in the long hole 67H of the link arm 67. Slide (reciprocate) in a direction orthogonal to the pin 82P. Then, as the crank pin 82P slides in the long hole 67H, the side electric decoration 62 rotates around the first rotation support shaft 63.

  That is, when the side lighting motors 83 and 83 provided in the two driving devices 80 and 80 rotate and drive the second spur gears 82 and 82 of the driving devices 80 and 80 in directions opposite to each other, a pair of side As shown in the change between FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the electric decoration bodies 62, 62 are rotated (oscillated) in opposite directions around the first rotation support shafts 63, 63. The object 61 moves up and down between the retracted position and the lowered position.

  The driving device 80 includes a gear housing 84 that houses first and second spur gears 81 and 82 rotatably. The gear housing 84 is fixed to the rear display frame 50 by a snap fit and a screw (not shown), and the gear housings 84 and 84 of both the drive devices 80 and 80 are attached to and detached from the rear display frame 50. The entire electric accessory unit 60 can be attached to and detached from the rear display frame 50. The side lighting motor 83 is screwed to the outer surface of the gear housing 84 (specifically, the front surface opposite to the mounting surface with respect to the rear display frame 50). In addition, a support cylinder (not shown) penetrating in the front-rear direction is integrally formed at a corner portion on the lower end side of the gear housing 84, and the first rotation projecting from the rear wall of the side electric decoration body 62 is formed in this support cylinder. A moving support shaft 63 is rotatably supported. That is, the side electric decorations 62 and 62 are pivotally supported by the rear display frame 50 via the gear housings 84 and 84.

  Each driving device 80 is provided with a position sensor 85 (for example, a transmissive photo interrupter, which corresponds to the “origin sensor” of the present invention) for detecting the position of the side electric decoration 62 (see FIG. 6). ). More specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, an annular wall 82W is erected from the rear surface of the second spur gear 82 in parallel with the rotation shaft 82J, and a notch 82W1 is formed at one location of the annular wall 82W. Has been. As can be seen from the comparison between FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the position sensor 85 optically detects the notch 82W1 when the side electric decoration 62 is located at the retracted position (see FIG. 10). And when the position sensor 85 detects the notch 82W1 when the side illumination body 62 returns from the lowered position to the retracted position (state shown in FIG. 4), the side illumination motor 83 automatically stops. Thereby, the movable electrical decoration accessory 61 can be reliably returned to the retracted position.

  The power supply to the above-described electric accessory unit 60 is performed by relaying various boards provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10. Specifically, the motors 74, 83, 83 included in the electric accessory unit 60 are supplied from the power supply board 160 through the main control board 110, the sub control board 120, the sound lamp control board 130, and the lamp relay board 150. And electric power is supplied to each LED board 66, 66, 73 (refer FIG. 3). In addition, a command from the sound lamp control board 130 is also input to the electric accessory unit 60 via the lamp relay board 150.

  As shown in FIG. 10, among the electric accessory unit 60, the side LED boards 66, 66 provided on both side electric decorations 62, 62 are connected to the lamp relay board 150 by cables 90, 90 having connectors at both ends. And can be directly received from the lamp relay board 150. Further, the side illumination motors 83 and 83 provided in both the drive devices 80 and 80 are also directly connected to the lamp relay board 150 by cables having connectors at both ends, although not shown in the figure. It is possible to receive power directly from.

  On the other hand, the center LED board 73 and the center illumination motor 74 provided in the center illumination body 70 are not directly connected to the lamp relay board 150, and the side LEDs provided in both side illumination bodies 62 and 62 are provided. Power is received through the substrates 66 and 66. That is, both side LED boards 66 and 66 and the center LED board 73 are connected by cables 91 and 91 having connectors at both ends, and the center LED board 73 and the center illumination motor 74 are connected. They are connected by a cable 92 having connectors at both ends.

  That is, electric power is supplied from the sound lamp control board 130 to the lamp relay board 150, both side LED boards 66 and 66, the center LED board 73, and the center illumination motor 74 in this order. Each cable 90, 91, 92 includes a signal line for transmitting and receiving signals between the boards in addition to the power line. The cable length of each of the cables 91 and 92 has a margin with respect to the distance between the two boards to be connected, and the intermediate portions of the cables 91 and 92 are in an intermediate slack state and are connected in a state of being bent. Yes. The cable 91 is routed in a state of being hidden behind the movable electrical accessory 61, and the cable 92 is routed in a state of being hidden behind the center electrical ornament 70. When the 61 is viewed from the front side, the cables 91 and 92 are not visible to the player.

  The power for turning on the LED of the center LED board 73 is received only from one of the pair of side LED boards 66, 66, and the power for driving the center illumination motor 74 is supplied to the other side LED board. You may make it receive only from 66.

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the drive control means described later drives and controls the side electric decoration motors 83 and 83 in accordance with the progress of the game, and the movable electric decoration accessory 61 has a predetermined value. Let the action take place.

  Here, FIG. 12 shows a motor image of the side illumination motor 83. The side lighting motor 83 is excited by excitation control data (corresponding to “position control data” of the present invention) composed of a 4-digit binary number corresponding to “A, B, C, D” of the motor image. Is done. Specifically, excitation is performed when the value of the excitation control data of the corresponding part is “1”, and excitation is not performed when the value is “0”. For example, if the value of the excitation control data is “1100”, A and B are excited and C and D are not excited. Thereby, the position of the output part of the motor for side electric decoration 83 is determined. Note that the side illumination motor 83 of this embodiment has a step angle of 90 degrees for convenience of explanation, but is set more finely in the actual machine.

  Hereinafter, in the electric accessory unit 60, when it is necessary to distinguish between left and right symmetrical shapes, the sign “L” is assigned to the left side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 (for example, the left side in FIG. 7). In the following description, the other side is given a symbol “R”.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is provided with an excitation table (corresponding to the “control data table” and “position control data table” of the present invention) in order to drive and control the side electric decoration motors 83L and 83R. ing. In the excitation table, sequence data obtained by connecting the above-described excitation control data to the excitation counters “0” to “3” is set for each of the side lighting motors 83L and 83R. That is, the excitation control data of the side electric decoration motors 83L and 83R are uniquely linked by the excitation counter.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, in the column “motor 1” of the excitation table, “sequence data corresponding to the side electric motor 83L” is displayed in the order of excitation counters “0” to “3”. 1100, 0110, 0011, 1001 "are set. In the column of “motor 2” of the excitation table, excitation data “1001, 0011, 0110, 1100” in the order of excitation counters “0” to “3” as sequence data corresponding to the side illumination motor 83R. A control data group is set.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, in order to cause the movable illumination accessory 61 to perform a predetermined operation, operation information corresponding to the moving direction of the movable illumination accessory 61 is defined separately from the excitation table. The operation scenario (corresponding to the “command data table” of the present invention) is provided.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, for each “output time” corresponding to “variable data” and “each divided period” of the present invention, “speed” corresponding to “update period command data” of the present invention. ”,“ Operation direction ”corresponding to“ Direction command data ”of the present invention,“ Step number ”corresponding to“ Move target data ”of the present invention, necessity of timer check, ON / OFF information of common flag ing.

  Here, the “output time” divides the movable production period in which the movable decorative accessory 61 performs a series of operations at the timing when the operation direction (up, down, stop, etc.) of the movable decorative accessory 61 is switched, The divided periods are arranged in order of elapsed time. Thereby, a different operation | movement can be performed to the side electrical decoration bodies 62L and 62R for every division | segmentation period (operation time).

  The “number of steps” represents position information of the movable electrical accessory 61. Initially, the retracted position of the movable electrical accessory 61 (that is, the position sensor 85L detects the side electrical body 62L, and the position sensor 85R detects the side electrical body 62R. See FIGS. 4 and 10. ) Is set as the number of steps “0”. And the magnitude | size which the side electric decorations 62L and 62R move by 1 pulse given to the motors 83L and 83R for side electric decoration is 1 step, and the number of steps "12" is the descent of the movable electric decoration accessory 61 of a present Example. It becomes a position (see FIGS. 5 and 11).

  The “common flag” is set to “ON” when the movable illumination accessory 61 moves in the “up” and “down” directions. Then, when the moving operation of the movable electrical accessory 61 is completed, “OFF” is set. Further, when the movable electrical accessory 61 is “-(stop)”, it is set to “OFF”. When the common flag is OFF, the driving of the side electric decoration motors 83L and 83R is stopped. That is, the common flag is an operation flag, and thereby, it is possible to identify whether or not the operation of the movable electrical accessory 61 has been completed.

  In the operation scenario shown in FIG. 12, the movable effect period of 13700 ms is divided into six divided periods. Specifically, in the output time “0 to 600 ms (operation time 600 ms)”, the speed “2” moves to the “down” direction to the step number “12”, and the output time “600 to 2100 ms (operation time 1500 ms) ) ”Stops at step number“ 12 ”, and at output time“ 2100-5100 ms (operation time 3000 ms) ”, it is set to move to“ up ”step number“ 0 ”at speed“ 4 ”. Yes. Further, in the output time “5100 to 5700 ms (operation time 600 ms)”, the speed “2” moves to the “down” direction to the step number “12”, and in the output time “5700 to 10700 ms (operation time 5000 ms)”. It is set to stop at the step number “12”. The output time “10700 to 13700 ms (operating time 3000 ms)” is set to move up to the number of steps “0” in the “up” direction at the speed “4”.

  Descriptions other than the configuration relating to internal information processing (signal processing) in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment have been described above. Before describing the information processing, the operation, action, and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described below.

  When the operation knob 28 is turned to start the game, the game ball launching device 181 is activated and the game ball is launched toward the game area YR. The game balls collide with an accessory or obstacle nail arranged in the game area YR and flow down while randomly changing the flow direction, and some of the game balls pass through the start gate 18.

  When the game ball passes through the start gate 18, the normal symbol display device 19 starts the variable symbol normal display. When the normal symbol stops at an odd number, the movable wing pieces 14C, 14C provided at the start winning opening 14 fall to the left and right. When a game ball is placed on the movable wing pieces 14C, 14C that have fallen to the left and right, the game balls are guided to the movable wing pieces 14C, 14C and win the start winning opening 14.

  When winning at the start winning opening 14, a variation pattern (see FIG. 35) is selected according to the gaming state and determination of success / failure, and the variation display of the special symbol is started on the display screen 36 of the display device 35. The special symbol variation display is performed for a predetermined time, and then the special symbol is stopped and displayed in the order of left, middle, and right. In the process of this stop display, only the right special symbol that is stopped last is left, and when the remaining two special symbols stop at the same symbol, it becomes “reach”, and in addition to the special symbol on the display screen 36 A reach effect image is displayed.

  Then, when all the special symbols on the left, middle, and right are stopped and displayed with the same symbol, the “big hit game” is started. That is, the movable door 15T that has closed the special winning opening 15 falls forward for a predetermined period, and the game ball flowing down the game area YR can win the special winning opening 15 with the movable door 15T as a guide. In addition, during the “big hit game”, an effect image for the big hit game is displayed on the display screen 36.

  By the way, in game states other than the above-mentioned “hit game” or “reach state” (specifically, even in the reach state, jackpot state, etc., in the variation pattern shown in FIG. The movable electrical accessory 61 is held at the retracted position (even when the variation patterns 5, 8, 16, and 17 in which “No” is selected) are selected. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the side electric decorations 62 </ b> L and 62 </ b> R and the center electric decoration 70 are stopped side by side at a position above the display screen 36. Further, the LEDs provided in the side electric decorations 62L and 62R and the center electric decoration 70 are in a light-off state, and the rotary lamp cover 72 provided in the center electric decoration 70 is also in a stopped state. At this retracted position, the movable electrical accessory 61 and the decorative lamp 54 provided on the upper side portion of the rear display frame 50 are arranged in a state where they overlap each other, and almost the effect image displayed on the display screen 36 is displayed. All are visible from the player.

  On the other hand, when a predetermined condition is established as the game progresses (specifically, a reach state, a jackpot state, etc., the “actual action P” column in the variation pattern shown in FIG. 35 is “A”. When the variation patterns 1 to 4, 6, 7, and 9 to 15 are selected), the drive control means moves from the excitation table to the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination according to the operation scenario. The excitation control data of the motor 83R is acquired, the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R are driven and controlled, and the movable illumination accessory 61 is moved.

  Specifically, for example, from the operation scenario shown in FIG. 12, when the movement start point of the movable illumination accessory 61 is “0”, the scenario “operation time 600 ms, speed 2, downward direction, number of steps from the operation scenario shown in FIG. 12, “no timer check, common flag ON” is extracted. For example, if 2300 ms has passed since the start of moving the movable illumination accessory 61, the scenario in the third row corresponding to the output time “2100 to 5100 ms” “operation time 3000 ms, speed 4, direction up, step Number 0, timer check present, common flag ON "is extracted.

  When the operation direction set in the operation scenario is “down”, the excitation counter is in the order of “0” → “1” → “2” → “3” → “0”. ), The excitation control data of the side electric motors 83L and 83R is acquired from the excitation table. That is, when the excitation counter is “0”, “1100, 1001” is acquired as the excitation control data of the side electric motors 83L, 83R from the row of the excitation counter “0” in the excitation table (see FIG. 12). In the case of “1”, “0110,0011”, in the case of “2”, “0011,0110”, in the case of “3”, “1001,1100” are acquired.

  Then, the obtained excitation control data is output at intervals according to the speed set in the operation scenario, and the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R are excited.

  Here, when the side lighting motor 83L and the side lighting motor 83R are excited by the excitation control data acquired in the order of the excitation counters “0” → “1” → “2” → “3” → “0”. The output portion of the side electric motor 83L rotates clockwise from the predetermined position, whereas the output portion of the side electric motor 83R rotates counterclockwise from the predetermined position. That is, the side electric decoration motor 83L and the side electric decoration motor 83R can be interlocked.

  Then, while the side illumination body 62L rotates clockwise, the side illumination body 62R rotates counterclockwise, and as a result, the movable illumination accessory 61 moves in the “down” direction.

  On the other hand, when the operation direction set in the operation scenario is “-(stop)”, the driving of the side lighting motors 83L and 83R is stopped, and the “operation time” set in the operation scenario has elapsed. Until then, the movable illumination accessory 61 is held at the current position.

  In addition, when the operation direction set in the operation scenario is “up”, the excitation counter is in the order of “0” → “3” → “2” → “1” → “0”. The excitation control data of the side electric decoration motors 83L and 83R is acquired from the excitation table in the reverse order of FIG.

  Then, the obtained excitation control data is output at intervals according to the speed set in the operation scenario, and the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R are excited.

  Here, when the side lighting motor 83L and the side lighting motor 83R are excited by the excitation control data acquired in the order of the excitation counters “0” → “3” → “2” → “1” → “0”. The output part of the side electric motor 83L rotates counterclockwise from the predetermined position, whereas the output part of the side electric motor 83R rotates clockwise from the predetermined position. That is, the side electric decoration motor 83L and the side electric decoration motor 83R can be interlocked.

  Then, the side electric decoration 62L rotates counterclockwise, while the side electric decoration 62R rotates clockwise, and as a result, the movable electric decoration accessory 61 moves in the “up” direction.

  That is, the excitation table of the present embodiment stores the excitation control data group so that the side illumination motors 83L and 83R arranged symmetrically rotate in opposite directions, and the side illumination body 62L, 62R is configured to operate symmetrically.

  Then, the drive control means acquires the operation direction corresponding to the output time from the operation scenario according to the progress of the game, and uses the excitation control data from the excitation table uniformly in the reference order according to the operation direction. The electric motors 83L and 83R are uniformly rotated in a predetermined direction, or the position control data is uniformly used in an order opposite to the reference order, and the side electric motors 83L and 83R are uniformly set in a predetermined direction. Rotate in the reverse direction, or stop the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R uniformly.

  In other words, the operation direction of the side electric decorations 62L and 62R can be determined using one operation direction. Thereby, compared with the case where the process which determines the operation direction of the side electric decorations 62L and 62R separately is performed, the load on control is reduced. Further, the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R can be interlocked and rotated in opposite directions, and the operation deviation between the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R at that time is also possible. Since the side electric decoration body 62L and the side electric decoration body 62R are rotated symmetrically by the side electric decoration motor 83L and the side electric decoration motor 83R, the side electric decoration body 62L and the side electric decoration body 62R are symmetrical. It is possible to maintain high quality and perform high-quality movable performance.

  In addition, when each of the side lighting motors 83L and 83R is driven in a predetermined direction, the excitation control data group of each sequence data stored in the excitation table is sequentially used without generating excitation control data in the middle of driving. By doing so, it is possible to move in a predetermined direction while controlling the position of the output part of each of the side lighting motors 83L, 83R.

  When the operation direction is “down”, when the “step number” set in the operation scenario is reached, the driving of the side lighting motors 83L and 83R is stopped and the operation direction is “up”. The position sensors 85L and 85R both detect the side illumination bodies 62L and 62R (that is, the movable illumination accessory 61 reaches the retracted position), and when the side illumination motors 83L and 83R are continuously energized. When the possible limit drive time (corresponding to the “upper limit energization time” of the present invention) has elapsed, the driving of the side electric decoration motors 83L and 83R is stopped. When the driving of the side lighting motors 83L and 83R is stopped during the “output time”, the current position is held until the “operation time” set in the operation scenario elapses. That is, the “operation time” includes a stop time.

  In addition, when either the position sensor 85L or the position sensor 85R first detects the side electric decoration 62L or the side electric decoration 62R due to deterioration of the motor or the like, the excitation control data of the detected motor is Since it is not set, it is not excited and only the motor that is not detected is excited and driven.

  That is, when the movable electrical accessory 61 starts moving, it first descends from the retracted position to the descending position at a speed of 2, and stops for 1.5 seconds at the descending position after 0.6 seconds have elapsed since the beginning of the descending. Thereafter, the position sensors 85L and 85R both detect the side electric decorations 62L and 62R (that is, the movable electric accessory 61 has reached the retracted position), or the limit drive time (1.5 in this embodiment). )). Then, after stopping for 3.0 seconds from the start of ascent, it descends again from the stopped position to the lowered position. Then, after 0.6 seconds have elapsed from the start of the second descent, the vehicle stops for 5 seconds at the lowered position. After that, it rises again, and stops when both the position sensors 85L and 85R detect the side electric decorations 62L and 62R or the limit drive time (1.5 seconds) elapses. Then, after stopping for 3.0 seconds from the start of the second rise, the series of operations is terminated.

  At this time, on the display screen 36, the effect image is displayed in accordance with the movement of the movable illumination accessory 61 that moves between the retracted position and the lowered position and covers a part of the front surface of the display screen 36. The scroll display is performed at the same speed in the same direction as the operation of the accessory 61. As the scroll display mode, for example, a display mode for decorating the surroundings of the movable electrical accessory 61 (displaying a color or the like along the outline of the movable electrical accessory 61) is displayed. Further, the LEDs of the side lighting bodies 62L and 62R and the center lighting body 70 are turned on or blinking, and the rotating lamp cover 72 is rotated in the middle of the reach state to notify the player that the game will shift to “big hit game”. .

  Thereby, it is possible to show the player effectively in a composite effect that associates the operation of the side electric decoration body 62L and the side electric decoration body 62R with the display content displayed on the display screen 36. Improves.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the side electric decorations 62L, 62R, 62R, and 63R are controlled by driving and controlling the side electric decoration motors 83L, 83R using the excitation control data for each uniquely corresponding excitation control data group. 62R is configured to be interlocked, so that the unique correspondence relationship between the excitation control data is changed and stored in the excitation table, so that the mode of interlocking between the side lighting motors 83L and 83R is easy. Can be changed. Thereby, the freedom degree of the design which concerns on the arrangement | positioning of the motors 83L and 83R for side electric decorations, and the power transmission mechanism from the motors 83L and 83R for side electric decorations to the side electric decoration bodies 62L and 62R becomes high.

  Further, the positions of the side electric decorations 62L and 62R can be made to correspond accurately. Thereby, the shift | offset | difference of operation | movement between the side electrical decoration bodies 62L and 62R like the past is suppressed, and a high quality movable effect can be performed.

  In order to realize the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment described above, the main control board 110, the sub control board 120, etc. execute the main control circuit main program PG1, the sub control circuit main program PG2, etc. Processing information. Hereinafter, information processing in the main control board 110 and the sub control board 120 will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on, the one-chip microcomputer 111 (see FIG. 3) provided on the main control board 110 takes out the main control circuit main program PG1 shown in FIG. 13 from the ROM 111C and runs it.

  When the main control circuit main program PG1 is run, initialization is first performed (S1). In the initial setting (S1), for example, stack setting, constant setting, interrupt time setting, CPU 111A setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (interrupt time controller) setting, resetting of various flags and counter values, and the like are performed. . If the RAM clear switch is turned on or the power-off flag is turned on and it is determined that the contents of the RAM 111B are abnormal, the RAM 111B is initialized. The initial setting (S1) is executed only when the main control circuit main program PG1 is run for the first time after power-on, and is not executed thereafter.

  Subsequent to the initial setting (S1), interrupts are prohibited (S2), and a special symbol main random number update process (S3) is executed. In the present embodiment, the counter shown in Table 1 is provided to generate a random number.

  Each force counter shown in Table 1 is set to “0” when the power is turned on, and is incremented by 1 each time the special symbol main random number update process (S3) is executed. Further, when the upper limit value of the numerical range of each counter in Table 1 is exceeded, it is reset to “0” and incremented again from “0” by 1. The values of the counters updated in this way are stored one by one in the update value storage area of the RAM 111B, and the special symbol main random number update process (S3) is exited.

  When the special symbol main random number update process (S3) ends, an interrupt is permitted (S4), and the main control circuit interrupt process (S5) can be executed. The main control circuit interrupt process (S5) is repeatedly executed, for example, at a cycle of 4 msec when an interrupt pulse is input to the CPU 111A. Then, during the remaining processing period from the end of the main control circuit interrupt process (S5) to the start of the next main control circuit interrupt process (S5), various counters by the special symbol main random number update process (S3) The value update process is repeatedly executed a plurality of times. When an interrupt pulse is input to the CPU 111A in the interrupt disabled state, the main control circuit interrupt process (S5) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S4).

  The main control circuit interrupt process (S5) will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, in the main control circuit interrupt process (S5), an output process (S10) is first executed. In this process (S10), it is checked whether or not various commands determined in each process described below are stored in the output buffer of the RAM 111B. The command is output to various control circuits such as the sub control board 120.

  In the input process (S11) performed after the output process (S10), various sensors (gate switch 18W, start port sensor 14W, other sensors, switches 85L, 85R, etc.) mainly attached to the pachinko gaming machine 10. 3) is detected and stored in the output buffer of the RAM 111B as payout number information.

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S12) performed next is the same as the special symbol main random number update process (S3) performed in the loop process of the main control circuit main program PG1. That is, the various counter values shown in Table 1 and the random counter value for normal symbol determination are the main control circuit interrupt process (S5) execution period and the remaining process period (end of the main control circuit interrupt process (S5)). And the period between the next main control circuit interrupt process (S5) and the period until it is started).

  Following the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S12), the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S15) is executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the start gate 18 or the start winning opening 14 (S150). At this time, if the game ball has passed through the start gate 18 or the start winning opening 14 (yes in S150), is the number of retained balls (ordinary symbol retained ball number or special symbol retained ball number) successively 4 or more? Judgment is made (S151). If the number of held balls is not 4 or more (no in S151), 1 is added to the number of held balls (S152), and the counter value stored in the update value storage area of the RAM 111B is acquired as a random number value. Are stored in the address space corresponding to the number of balls held in the start gate 18 or the start winning opening 14 set separately (S153, S154). On the other hand, if the game ball has not passed through the start gate 18 or the start winning opening 14 (no in S150), if the number of held balls is 4 or more (yes in S151), this process (S15) is immediately terminated.

  As shown in FIG. 14, a normal operation process (S16) is performed after the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S15). By this processing (S16), the main control board 110 directly controls the display state of the normal symbol display device 19 and the movable blade pieces 14C and 14C without going through the sub-control board 120, so that a random number (label -TRND-) per normal symbol is obtained. H) Based on the value, normal symbol per unit processing such as determination per normal symbol, normal symbol variation and stop display on the normal symbol display device 19, and opening / closing of the movable wing pieces 14C and 14C based on the normal symbol is performed.

  The special operation process (S17) performed after the normal operation process (S16) is a process for controlling the display of the display device 35, and is stored in the counter value storage area of the RAM 111B in the start switch detection process (S15). This is performed based on various counter values. The main control board 110 indirectly controls the display device 35 via the sub control board 120 by a special operation process (S17) described below.

  This special operation process (S17) is shown in FIG. 16, and the display state of the display device 35 is divided into four states, and each state is assigned to “special operation status 1, 2, 3, 4”. Yes. When the “special operation status” is “1” (Yes in S171), the special symbol standby process (S172) is performed, and when the “special operation status” is “2” (No in S171, S173). Yes), special symbol variation processing (S174) is performed, and when the "special action status" is "3" (both S171 and S173 are both no, and S175 is yes), special symbol confirmation processing (S176) is performed. When the “special operation status” is “4” (no in S171, S173, and S175), the special electric accessory processing (S177) is performed.

  When the special symbol standby process (S172) is executed in the special operation process (S17) shown in FIG. 16, the number of reserved balls (that is, the number of special symbol reserved balls) at the start winning opening 14 is “0” as shown in FIG. Is checked (S202). When the number of special symbol reserved balls is “0” (Yes in S202), that is, when there is no storage of various counter values acquired due to winning at the start winning opening 14, display on the display device 35 It is checked whether or not is a standby screen (S208). If the standby screen is displayed (Yes in S208), the process immediately exits (S172). On the other hand, if the standby screen is not displayed (no in S208), the standby screen setting process (S209) is performed, and the process (S172) is exited.

  On the other hand, when the number of special symbol reservation balls is not “0” (no in S202), that is, when there are one or more stored various counter values acquired due to winning at the start winning opening 14, Special symbol jackpot determination processing (S203), special symbol selection processing (S204), special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S205), special symbol random number shift processing (S206), and special symbol variation start setting (S207) described below Done. That is, until the number of special symbol reservation balls becomes zero, the special symbols are processed (S203 to 207), and the special symbol reservation balls are digested.

  The special symbol jackpot determination process (S203) determines whether or not the “big hit game” can be executed. Further, by executing this special symbol jackpot determination process (S203), the CPU 111A functions as the “win / fail determination means” according to the present invention. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, first, various random values stored in the lowest counter value storage area of the RAM 111B (that is, the RAM area corresponding to the first reserved special symbol) are loaded as determination values. The special symbol 1 big hit determination counter (label-TRND-A1) value is read out (S310). Next, the address of the jackpot determination value table is set (S311). Then, it is checked whether or not the probability is changing (S312). If not surely changing (no in S312), that is, in the normal gaming state, whether the special symbol 1 big hit determination counter (label-TRND-A1) matches either of two winning values of "77" or "78" If the probability is changing (yes in S312), that is, in the probability variation state, the special symbol 1 big hit determination counter (label -TRND-A1) is "77 to 96". It is checked whether or not any of the 20 hit numerical values is matched (S315).

  Then, in each step S313, S315, if the acquired special symbol 1 big hit determination counter (label-TRND-A1) does not match any winning value (no in steps S313, S315), this processing is immediately performed. Exit (S203). On the other hand, if the acquired special symbol 1 jackpot determination counter (label-TRND-A1) matches any of the winning numbers (yes in S313 or yes in S315), the jackpot flag is turned on (S314), This process (S203) is exited.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in the special symbol standby process (S172), a special symbol selection process (S204) is executed after the special symbol jackpot determination process (S203). The special symbol selection process (S204) is shown in FIG. 19 and sets symbol data. First, it is checked whether or not the jackpot flag is on (S320), and if it is a jackpot (yes in S320), it is checked whether or not the numerical value of the jackpot type determination counter (label-TRND-AZ) is a probable variation type (S321). . If the jackpot type determination counter (label-TRND-AZ) is probable (Yes in S321), the probable jackpot symbol data is set (S322), and the jackpot type determination counter (label-TRND-AZ) is not probable ( No in S321), the normal jackpot symbol data is set (S323). That is, a combination of symbols predetermined for the numerical value of the jackpot type determination counter (label-TRND-AZ) is determined as a jackpot symbol combination. On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is not on (no in S320), the lost symbol data is set (S324), and the process (S204) is exited.

  The special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S205) executed after the special symbol selection processing (S204) is shown in FIG. 20 and selects a variation mode (variation pattern). First, if the design random number is a probable change, that is, if the determination result is “big hit”, it is checked whether the value of the big hit type determination counter (label-TRND-AZ) is a probable change (S325). When the big hit type determination counter (label-TRND-AZ) is a certain change (Yes in S325), it is subsequently determined whether or not the big hit flag is on (S326). If the big hit flag is ON (Yes in S326), any of the variation patterns 9 to 11 is selected from the probability variation column of the variation pattern table (see FIG. 35) based on the variation mode determination counter (label-TRND-T1) value. Is selected (S327). On the other hand, when the big hit type determination counter (label-TRND-AZ) is not a certain change (no in S326), it is subsequently determined whether or not the reach flag is on (S328). If the reach flag is on (Yes in S328), any of the variation patterns 12 to 14 is selected from the probability variation column of the variation pattern table (see FIG. 35) based on the variation mode determination counter (label-TRND-T1) value. Is selected (S329). If the reach flag is not on (no in S328), any of the variation patterns 15 to 17 is selected from the probability variation column of the variation pattern table (see FIG. 35) based on the variation mode determination counter (label-TRND-T1) value. Is selected (S330).

  On the other hand, if the symbol random number is not probable (no in S325), the variation mode determining counter (label-TRND-T1) is selected from the normal column of the variation pattern table (see FIG. 35) in the same manner as in steps 326 to 330. ) One of the fluctuation patterns 1 to 9 is selected based on the value. (S331-S335).

  When the variation pattern is selected, other processing (S332) is performed, and the processing (S205) is exited. In other processing (S332), a variation pattern command corresponding to the selected variation pattern is set in the output buffer of the RAM 111B. Then, the variation pattern command set in the output buffer of the RAM 111B in the output process (S10) described above is output to the sub-control board 120 and the like.

  Here, in this embodiment, when the variation patterns 1 to 4, 6, 7, and 9 to 15 are selected (corresponding to “the time when a predetermined condition is established as the game progresses” in the present invention), A drive control means to be described later drives and controls the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R to cause the movable illumination accessory 61 to perform a predetermined operation. That is, it is configured to determine whether or not the movable condition of the movable electrical accessory 61 is satisfied based on the determination result or the variation pattern selected based on the determination result. Thereby, it becomes possible to move the movable electrical accessory 61 in connection with the determination of success / failure, and it is possible to effectively perform an effect related to the game.

  As shown in FIG. 17, a special symbol random number shift process (S206) is performed after the special symbol variation pattern creation process (S205). This process (S206) is shown in FIG. 21. First, the number of special symbol reservation balls (the numerical value of the special symbol reservation number storage area of the RAM 111B) is decremented by 1 (S350). Next, the storage location of the various counter values in the counter value storage area is shifted to the counter value storage area one level lower (S351). Then, “0” is set in each address space of the highest counter value storage area (that is, the RAM area corresponding to the fourth special symbol hold is cleared to 0) (S352), and the process (S206) is exited.

  As shown in FIG. 17, when the special symbol variation start setting (S207) is performed after the special symbol random number shift process (S206), the special operation status is set to “2” and the variation start command is output to the RAM 111B. Other processing necessary for starting the variation of the special symbol, such as setting in the buffer, is performed, and the special symbol standby processing (S172) is exited.

  When the special symbol variation processing (S174) is executed in the special operation processing (S17) shown in FIG. 16, the variation set in the special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S205, see FIG. 20) as shown in FIG. A process of determining the fluctuation display specified time (fluctuation time) according to the pattern is performed (S261). Then, it is checked whether or not the specified time for change display (see the change time in FIG. 35) has passed (S262). If it has not passed (no in S262), this process (S174) is immediately exited and a special operation is performed. Continue to display the symbol variation.

  On the other hand, when the variable display regulation time has elapsed (Yes in S262), that is, when the special symbol fluctuation display is performed over the fluctuation time set according to the fluctuation pattern, the fluctuation display is in progress. Set the address of the variable stop table that stops displaying special symbols (S263), perform data storage processing (S264), set the special operation status to "3" (S265), and perform other processing (S266) Thus, this process (S174) is exited.

  When the special symbol determination process (S176) is executed in the special operation process (S17) shown in FIG. 16, as shown in FIG. 23, it is first checked whether or not the big hit flag is turned on (whether or not big hit). (S270). Here, when the big hit flag is turned on (Yes in S270), that is, when the determination result is “Win”, the round counter is set (S271) and the special operation status is set to “4”. Set (S272). On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not turned on (no in S270), that is, if the determination result is “Out”, the special operation status is set to “1” (S273), and this process ( Exit from S176). Here, the round counter counts the number of “rounds” in the “big hit game”. In this embodiment, the initial value of the round counter is set to “15”.

  When the special electric accessory process (S177) is executed in the special operation process (S17) shown in FIG. 16, the probability variation flag is switched from on to off as shown in FIG. 24 (S280). That is, when the “big hit game” is started, the probability variation state is forcibly ended. Next, it is checked whether or not the big hit end flag is on (S281). When the big hit end flag is not on (no in S281), that is, when “big hit game” is being executed, it is checked whether or not the big winning opening 15 is open based on the release flag ( S282).

  When the special winning opening 15 is being opened (open flag is on) (yes in S282), it is checked whether or not the round end condition is satisfied. Specifically, it is checked whether or not ten game balls have been won in the grand prize opening 15 (S286), and whether or not the round end time (opening time of the big prize opening 15 is 30 seconds) has been reached (S287). The If the round end condition is not satisfied (both S286 and S287 are no), the process immediately exits this process (S177), while if the round end condition is satisfied (yes in either S286 or S287). The process at the end of the round (S289 to S293) is performed.

  Specifically, in the special winning opening closing process (S289), a special winning opening closing command is also transmitted to the sub-control board 120. Next, after decrementing the round counter by 1 (S290), it is checked whether or not the round counter has become “0” (S291). If the round counter is not “0” (no in S291), that is, If the “big hit game” has not been played up to the maximum round (15 rounds), the process immediately exits (S177). That is, even during the big hit game, when one round is completed, the movable door 15T becomes the “closed position”, and the big prize opening 15 is temporarily closed.

  On the other hand, when the round counter becomes “0” (Yes in S291), that is, when the big hit game is played up to the maximum round (15 rounds), the big hit end process (S292) is performed. In the jackpot end process (S292), the jackpot random number data stored in the reserved storage area is transmitted to the sub-control board 120 together with the jackpot end command. Then, the big hit end flag is turned on (S293), and the process exits (S177).

  In step S282, if the big prize opening 15 is closed (the opening flag is OFF) (no in S282), it is checked whether or not it is time to open the big prize opening 15 (S283). Specifically, it is checked whether or not a predetermined waiting period after the “big hit game” is started or whether a predetermined interval period has elapsed since the end of the previous round. If it has not elapsed (no in S283), the process exits (S177). On the other hand, if the release waiting period or interval period has elapsed (yes in S283), the jackpot symbol determination counter (label -TRND-) It is checked whether the value of AZ1) is a probable change (S284). If the jackpot symbol determination counter is probable (Yes in S284), a round command during probability change corresponding to the round counter is transmitted (S285). If the jackpot symbol determination counter is not probable (No in S284), it corresponds to the round counter. The normal medium round command is transmitted (S288), and the process exits (S177).

  If the big hit end flag is on in step 281 (Yes in S281), that is, if the big hit game is played up to the maximum round (15 rounds), the big hit end flag and the big hit flag are all turned on. Is switched to OFF (S295, S296), and it is checked whether or not the special symbol that is stopped and displayed is a probability variation symbol (S297). If it is not a probability variation symbol (no in S297), the process jumps to step S299, and if it is a probability variation symbol (yes in S297), the probability variation flag is switched from OFF to ON (S298). In step 299, the special operation status is set to "1", and this process (S177) is exited. The above is the description of the special operation process (S17).

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the main control circuit interrupt process (S5), the reserved ball number process (S18) is performed after the special operation process (S17). This process (S18) is shown in FIG. 25. The number of retained balls is read from the number of sets of counter value groups stored in the RAM 111B (S180), and the data of the number of retained balls is set in the output buffer of the RAM 111B. (S181).

  In the main control circuit interrupt process (S5), after the reserved ball number process (S18), another process (S20) not deeply related to the present invention is executed, and the process leaves the main control circuit interrupt process (S5). Then, as shown in FIG. 13, until the next interrupt pulse is input to the CPU 111A, the processing of steps S2 to S4 is repeatedly executed, and the main control circuit interrupt is again caused by the input of the interrupt pulse (after about 4 msec). A process (S5) is performed. Then, as described above, the control data set in the output buffer of the RAM 111B when the main control circuit interrupt process (S5) was executed last time is the output process of the main control circuit interrupt process (S5) executed next. Output in (S10). The above is the description of the main control circuit main program PG1.

  As with the storage area of the RAM 111B in the main control board 110, the storage area of the RAM 121B provided in the sub control board 120 (see FIG. 3) is divided into a plurality of address spaces and assigned addresses (addresses). Yes. A counter value storage area configured by a predetermined address space is provided as a data storage unit for various random number counters shown in Table 2. The address space is also used as a data storage unit such as a flag in addition to the update area of the random number counter.

  The CPU 121A of the sub-control board 120 runs the sub-control circuit main program PG2 (see FIG. 26) in which initialization is performed when the power is turned on, and repeats the loop process in the final process of the main program. When the sub control circuit main program PG2 is run, CPU initialization processing (S50) is performed, stack setting, constant setting, CPU 121A setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (interrupt time controller) setting, and various flags. In addition, the counter value is reset. When the power supply board 160 is turned on, a power-off signal is transmitted from the power supply board 160 to the sub-control board 120. When this power-off signal is transmitted, it is determined whether the power-off signal is ON and the contents of the RAM 121B are normal (S51). If normal (yes in S51), the process proceeds to the next step. If not normal (no in S51), the RAM 121B is initialized and various flags and counter values are reset (S52). The steps 50, S51 and S52 are executed only when the sub control circuit main program PG2 is run for the first time after the power is turned on, and are not executed thereafter.

  When Steps 50, S51, and S52 are completed, the random number seed update process (S53) for incrementing the random number used by the sub control board 120 by 1 is repeated infinitely at a predetermined cycle.

  Receive interrupt processing (S54), 2ms timer interrupt processing (S55), and 10ms timer interrupt processing (S56) performed when receiving a command from the main control circuit are interrupted and executed for the infinite loop of random number seed update (S53). Is done. When the sub-control board 120 receives the strobe signal from the main control board 110, the reception interrupt process (S54) is executed with priority over the other interrupt processes (S55, S56). The sub control board 120 is designed to start up earlier than the main control board 110 when the power is turned on or reset, and the CPU 121A of the sub control board 120 performs reception interrupt processing (S54) during initialization processing or the like. It has no configuration.

  When the reception interrupt process (S54) is executed, as shown in FIG. 27, after confirming the input of the strobe signal (yes in S540), the output process (S10) of the main control circuit interrupt process (S5) described above. Then, the control data transmitted to the sub control board 120, for example, the variation pattern command, etc. is taken in and stored in the input signal primary storage area provided in the storage area of the RAM 121B (S541). Further, when a game ball wins at the start gate 18 and the start winning opening 14, a control signal is transmitted from the main control board 110 to the sub control board 120, and the various counter value groups shown in Table 1 are stored in the counter value of the RAM 121B. A random value group is stored (stored) in the area corresponding to the four reserved balls of the special symbol described above.

  The 2 ms timer interrupt process (S55) is shown in FIG. 28, and is executed every time an interrupt pulse with a period of 2 msec is input to the sub-control board 120. The 2 ms timer interrupt process (S55) is executed in preference to the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56), and the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56) is not executed during the execution of the 2 ms timer interrupt process (S55). It has a configuration.

  First, lamp data output processing (S550) is performed. In this process (S550), the ramp data generated in the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56, see FIG. 33) described later is output. Subsequently, motor output processing (S551) is performed. This process (S551) is shown in FIG. 29, and outputs “motor data α” and “common α” created in a motor command monitoring process (S552) described later (S640).

  “Motor data α” is an excitation signal (excitation control data set by an excitation table) for causing a current to flow through the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R, and “common α” is a side illumination. It is a common signal for sending the electric current for driving to the motor 83L for a motor and the motor 83R for a side electric decoration.

  When the value set in “common α” is not “0”, the drive circuit of the side lighting motors 83L and 83R outputs 12V to the common, and the side lighting motor 83L and the side lighting motor 83L according to “motor data α” The side lighting motor 83R is excited and driven (corresponding to the “drive energization mode” of the present invention).

  When the value set in “common α” is “0”, a weak current is applied to the common to brake the side lighting motors 83L and 83R and hold them at the current position (the present invention). Equivalent to “stop energization mode”). Thereby, the power consumption at the time of the stop of the motors 83L and 83R for side electric decoration can be suppressed. In the motor command monitoring process, when the operation direction of the operation scenario is “− (stop)” or when the operation is completed, the common flag is turned OFF and “common α” is always “0”.

  However, when only the excitation control data of either one of the side lighting motor 83L or the side lighting motor 83R is set in the “motor data α”, the side lighting on which the excitation control data is set is set. The decoration motor 83L or the side illumination motor 83R is excited and driven, and the other side illumination motor 83L or the side illumination motor 83R is braked and held at the current position ("stop" of the present invention Corresponds to “energized mode”).

  That is, when the movable electrical accessory 61 is moved from the lowered position to the retracted position, a positional deviation occurs between the side electrical decorating bodies 62L and 62R, and the side electrical decorating motor 83L that reaches the retracted position first or Even when the side illumination motor 83R is in a standby state, the load on the side illumination motor 83 that is in a standby state can be reduced.

  The motor command monitoring process (S552) performed following the motor output process (S551) in the 2 ms timer interrupt process (S55) of FIG. 28 is shown in FIGS. In this process (S552), an excitation signal (excitation control data set by the excitation table) for causing a current to flow from the operation scenario and the excitation table to the solenoids of the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R is “ Motor data α ”and“ common α ”are created as a common signal for causing a current to flow through the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R. Further, by executing the motor command monitoring process (S552), the CPU 121A functions as the “drive control unit”, the “detection data processing unit”, and the “determination unit” according to the present invention.

  First, a scenario corresponding to the output time is extracted from the operation scenario, and the values of the position sensor 85L and the position sensor 85R are combined and set to “sensor α” (S650).

  Here, the position sensor 85L outputs “0010” when the side illumination body 62L is detected, and “0000” otherwise, and the position sensor 85R detects “0001” when the side illumination body 62R is detected. ”, Otherwise,“ 0000 ”is output. Therefore, when both the position sensors 85L and 85R detect the side electric decorations 62L and 62R (that is, the movable electric ornament 61 reaches the retracted position), the value “0010” and “0001” are added. “0011” is set to “sensor α”. Similarly, the addition value when only the position sensor 85L is detected is “0010”, the addition value when only the position sensor 85R is detected is “0001”, and both the position sensors 85L and 85R detect. In the absence, the added numerical value is “0000”, and any value is set in “sensor α”.

  Thereby, in step 656 to be described later, both of the side electric decorations 62L and 62R are located at the retracted position, whether only one is located at the retracted position, or only the other is located at the retracted position. It is possible to efficiently determine the four states that are not located at the retreat position, thereby reducing the control burden and simplifying the data processing.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether the common flag in the operation scenario (that is, the operation flag of the movable lighting accessory 61 currently being executed in the operation scenario) is ON (S651). If the common flag is ON (that is, operation in the vertical direction) (Yes in S651), it is determined whether the origin sensor needs to be checked, that is, whether the operation direction is moving in the “up” direction (S652). ).

  If the movement is not in the “up” direction (No in S652), it is determined whether the number of steps in the operation scenario (here, “12”) is equal to the current step counter value (S653). If it is the same value (yes in S653), the common flag in the operation scenario is set to OFF, and the motor operation for moving in the “down” direction is completed (S654). If it is not the same value (no in S653). No processing is performed and the process proceeds to step 658. Thus, the excitation counter is added at step 669 described later until the step counter reaches “12”, and “motor data α” corresponding to the excitation counter is set at step 675.

  On the other hand, if the movement is in the “up” direction at step 652 (yes in S652), it is determined whether the operation requires a timer check (limit drive time) in the operation scenario (S655). If a timer check is necessary (Yes in S655), the value of “sensor α”, which is the sum of the values of the position sensor 85L and the position sensor 85R, is equal to “0011” (ie, the position sensors 85L and 85R detect both. Whether or not a limit driving time (for example, 1500 ms) has been reached (S656).

  If “Sensor α” is equal to “0011” or has reached the limit drive time (yes in S656), the step counter is set to “0” and the common flag in the operation scenario is set to OFF. Then, the motor operation to move in the “up” direction is completed (S657), and the process proceeds to step 658.

  In step 651, when the common flag is not ON (that is, the operation direction of the operation scenario is “-(stop)” or the operation in the up / down direction is completed) (no in S651), and in step 655, the timer check is performed. If the operation is not necessary (No in S655), or if “Sensor α” is not equal to “0011” in Step 656 and the limit drive time has not been reached (No in S656), go to Step 658. Jump.

  That is, in the case of movement in the “down” direction, the common flag is turned off when the current step counter becomes the same as the number of steps set in the operation scenario. In the case of movement in the “up” direction, the position sensor The common flag is turned off when both 85L and 85R detect the side electric decorations 62L and 62R, or when the limit drive time has elapsed.

  Thus, in the case of movement in the “down” direction, the side electric motors 83L and 83R are braked and held at the current position without using the position sensors 85L and 85R. In the case of movement in the “up” direction, after the movable electrical accessory 61 is moved from the lowered position to the retracted position, the side sensors 62L and 62R are detected by the position sensors 85L and 85R, or the continuous energization time is reached. When the motor reaches the limit drive time, the side illumination motors 83L and 83R are braked and held at the current position, so that the side illumination motors 83L and 83R can be protected from heat generation due to overload. . In other words, it is possible to set the operation time of the operation scenario without worrying about the limit drive time of the side electric decoration motors 83L and 83R so that the movable electric accessory 61 reaches the retracted position.

  When the limit driving time has elapsed with the position sensors 85L and 85R not detecting the side electric decorations 62L and 62R, the position of the movable electric accessory 61 at that time is “0” of the step counter. "Is the point.

  In step 658, as shown in FIG. 31, it is determined whether the common flag in the operation scenario is ON, the speed (speed) is not “0”, and the operation direction is “− (stop)”. Subsequently (YES in S658), it is determined whether or not the value of the excitation timer after adding 1 is “0” (S659).

  Here, the excitation timer is a counter for controlling the speed of the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R, and is added every 2 ms (interrupt), and is the same as the speed set in the operation scenario. When the value is reached, “0” is set. Specifically, when the speed set in the operation scenario is “2”, the excitation control data is set by adding or subtracting the excitation counter every 4 ms when the 2 ms interrupt is processed twice. When the speed set in (4) is “4”, the excitation control data is set by adding or subtracting the excitation counter every 8 ms in which the 2 ms interrupt is processed four times.

  That is, the interval at which the excitation control data is updated to other excitation control data is changed according to the speed stored in the operation scenario. Thereby, a moving speed can be uniformly changed to the output part of the motors 83L and 83R for side electric decoration. In addition, the rotational speed (namely, moving speed of the movable electrical accessory 61) becomes slow, so that the value of speed is large.

  If the excitation timer is 0 (reach the speed set in the operation scenario) (yes in S659), it is then determined whether the operation direction is “up” (S660). If the operation direction is “up” (Yes in S660), it is determined whether or not the step counter is “0” (S661). If it is “0” (yes in S661), the step counter is set to “0” (S662). If it is not “0” (no in S661), the step counter is decremented by 1 (S663). Thereafter, the excitation counter is decremented by 1 (S664), and the process jumps to step 670. The excitation counter is set to [3] when counted down to [-1]. That is, if the operation direction set in the operation scenario is “up”, the excitation counter is subtracted in the order of [0] → [3] → [2] → [1] → [0].

  On the other hand, if the operation direction is not “up” in step 660 (no in S660), it is subsequently determined whether the operation direction is “down” (S665). If the operation direction is “down” (Yes in S665), it is determined whether or not the step counter is MAX (12) (S666). If it is MAX (yes in S666), the step counter is set to “12” (S667), and if it is not MAX (no in S666), the step counter is incremented by 1 (S668). Thereafter, the excitation counter is incremented by 1 (S669), and the process jumps to step 670. The excitation counter is set to [0] when counted up to [4]. That is, if the operation direction set in the operation scenario is “down”, the excitation counter is added in the order of [0] → [1] → [2] → [3] → [0].

  When the common flag in the operation scenario is OFF or the speed (speed) is “0” or the operation direction is “− (stop)” in step 658 (no in S658), excitation is performed after adding 1 in step 659. If the timer value is not “0” (no in S659), and if the operation direction is neither “up” nor “down” in step 665 (no in S665), the process jumps to step 670.

  Thus, in the case of movement in the “down” direction, the step counter is added until the current step counter reaches MAX (12), and the excitation counter is added. In the case of movement in the “up” direction, The step counter is subtracted until the step counter becomes “0”, and the excitation counter is subtracted.

  In step 670, as shown in FIG. 32, it is determined whether or not the operation requires a timer check in the operation scenario. If it is an operation that requires a timer check, that is, an operation in the “up” direction (Yes in S670), it is first determined whether or not the position sensor 85L of the side illumination motor 83L is OFF (S671). If the position sensor 85L is OFF (Yes in S671), the excitation control data of the side illumination motor 83L is set to “motor data α” based on the excitation counter (S671). Subsequently, it is determined whether the position sensor 85R of the side illumination motor 83R is OFF (S673). If the position sensor 85R is OFF (yes in S673), the excitation of the side illumination motor 83R is performed based on the excitation counter. The control data is set to “motor data α” (S674), and the process jumps to step 676.

  If the position sensor 85L is ON (no in S671), the excitation control data of the side electric motor 83L is not set in the “motor data α”. Similarly, when the position sensor 85R is ON (no in S673), the excitation control data of the side electric decoration motor 83R is not set in the “motor data α”.

  Specifically, when the position sensor 85L or the position sensor 85R detects that any one of the side lighting bodies 62L and 62R has reached the retracted position, for example, only the side lighting body 62L has reached the retracting position. Is detected by the position sensor 85L, the excitation control data of the side illumination motor 83L is not set to “motor data α”, and only the excitation control data of the other side illumination motor 83R is changed to “motor data α”. Set. If the position sensors 85L and 85R are both OFF, the excitation control data of the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R is set to “motor data α” based on the excitation counter.

  On the other hand, in step 670, if the operation does not require a timer check, that is, if it is an operation in the "down" direction or a "-(stop)" scenario (no in S670), the side illumination motor based on the excitation counter The excitation control data of 83L and side illumination motor 83R is set to “motor data α” (S675), and the process jumps to step 676.

  Thereby, in the case of movement in the “down” direction, the excitation control data of the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R is set in the “motor data α” based on the excitation counter, and in the “up” direction. In the case of the movement, the excitation control data of the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor 83R is set to “motor data α” based on the position sensor 85L, the position sensor 85R, and the excitation counter.

  Note that “setting the excitation control data of the side illumination motor 83L or the side illumination motor 83R to“ motor data α ”based on the excitation counter” is, for example, if the excitation counter is [0] As the excitation control data of the side electric motor 83L, “1100” set in the column of the motor 1 in the [0] column of the excitation table (see FIG. 12) is set to “motor data α”. As excitation control data of the decoration motor 83R, “1001” set in the motor 2 column of the [0] column of the excitation table (see FIG. 12) is set to “motor data α”.

  In step 676, it is determined whether the common flag in the operation scenario is ON. If the common flag is ON (that is, the movable lighting accessory 61 is in operation) (yes in S676), the common “0010” of the side lighting motor 83L and the side lighting motor 83R are set to “common α”. If the common “0011” is stored (S677) and the common flag is OFF (that is, the operation of the movable lighting accessory 61 is completed or the “− (stop)” scenario) (no in S676), “common “α” is cleared and the common is set to OFF (S678). Then, the process exits from the motor command monitoring process (S552).

  Then, the “motor data α” and “common α” created in the motor command monitoring process (S552) are output in the motor output process (S551) described above, and the side illumination motor 83L and the side illumination motor are output. 83R is excited and driven. That is, if the operation direction in the operation scenario is “up”, the excitation control data set in the motor 1 and motor 2 fields of the excitation table (see FIG. 12) is the excitation counter [0] → [3]. → [2] → [1] → [0]... Is set in the “motor data α” order, and if the common flag is ON, “common α” is set. Is excited and rotates counterclockwise, and the side lighting motor 83R is excited and rotates clockwise. On the other hand, if the operation direction in the operation scenario is “down”, the excitation control data set in the motor 1 and motor 2 fields of the excitation table (see FIG. 12) is the excitation counter [0] → [1]. → [2] → [3] → [0]... Is set in the “motor data α” order, and if the common flag is ON, “common α” is set. Is excited and rotates clockwise, and the side lighting motor 83R is excited and rotates counterclockwise.

  As shown in FIG. 28, in the 2 ms timer interrupt process (S55), following the motor command monitoring process (S552), a watchdog timer process (S553) is performed to clear the watchdog timer, and this process (S55). ) Ends. The above is the description of the 2 ms timer interrupt process (S55).

  The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56) is shown in FIG. 33, and is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a 10 msec cycle is input to the sub-control board 120. In this process (S56), first, a loop scenario resetting process (S561) for setting effects to be executed at regular intervals such as a customer waiting effect is executed. Subsequently, command monitoring processing (S562) is executed. This command monitoring process (S562) is performed on all the commands received by the sub control board 120 from other circuits such as the main control board 110 in the reception interrupt process and stored in the buffer, and the command is analyzed. Then, processing corresponding to the command is performed to create a command to be transmitted to each control circuit.

  Specifically, when the command monitoring process (S562) is executed, as shown in FIG. 34, first, it is determined whether or not the received command is a fluctuation pattern command (S600). (No in S600), the process corresponding to the received command (S601) is executed. If the received command is a variation pattern command (yes in S600), the notice lottery process (S602) is executed. Then, a scenario and a timer for operating the motor are set based on the variation pattern and the notice (S603). Then, in the symbol selection process (S604), a special symbol to be displayed on the display device 35 is determined according to the variation pattern command, and the process exits (S562).

  Specifically, in the symbol selection process (S604), odd-numbered holes are selected for the probability variation and even-numbered eyes are selected for the normal variation. If the command is not a hit command, the value of the left losing symbol counter (label-TRND-SUB-B1) is acquired according to the reach variation pattern command, and the reach variation pattern creation table is obtained. If the corresponding left symbol, middle symbol, and right symbol are selected based on (see FIG. 36) and the reach variation pattern command is not selected, the value of the left lose symbol counter (label-TRND-SUB-B1) and the lose symbol The value of the creation counter (label-TRND-SUB-B2) is acquired, and the corresponding left symbol, middle symbol, and right symbol are selected based on the lost symbol creation table (see FIG. 37).

  In the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56) of FIG. 33, the lamp process (S563) is executed after the command monitoring process (S562). In this process (S563), the lamp to be lit is controlled. It is determined whether or not the lamp lighting flag is ON. If it is ON, the output lamp data is created and the production time is set.

Then, after the ramp process (S563), a command transmission process (S565) is executed. In this process (S565), a command (secondary control signal) is transmitted to each control circuit. Then, the process exits from the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56). As shown in FIG. 26, the process of step 53 is repeatedly executed until an interrupt pulse is input to the CPU 121A, and the reception interrupt process (S54) is executed due to the input of the interrupt pulse. The above is the description of the sub control circuit main program PG2.

Energization is started, and when the origin sensor detects that the effect movable member has reached the one-end origin position, the electric drive means is energized by switching to the stop energization mode. 5. A gaming machine according to [5].
