  In the second shaft rotation mechanism 217, the second rotation operation cam follower 244 rises along the second rotation operation cam groove 245, but the second rotation operation cam follower 244 moves from the rotation center of the second lifting unit arm 198 to the second rotation. Since the separation distance to the operation cam groove 245 is set so as to gradually increase along the ascending direction of the second elevating unit arm 198, the second rotating operation cam follower 244 is moved as the second elevating unit arm 198 rises. It is pushed down by the edge of the second rotation operation cam groove 245 and gradually moves away from the rotation center of the second lifting unit arm 198. As a result, the second rotating operation arm 242 rotates the second transmission gear 243 upward, and the second stage side accessory main body 196F is moved together with the second lifting / lowering rotating gear 241 and the second lifting / lowering rotating shaft 206. When viewed from the front of the game board 5, the game board 5 is rotated in the clockwise direction and shifted upward from the front of the second lifting / lowering unit arm 198, the second arm side accessory body 196R, and the second intermediate accessory body 196C. Further, when the second stage side accessory main body 196F rotates upward and the lower end of the second stage side accessory engaging groove 207a engages with the second intermediate accessory engaging protrusion 208, the second intermediate accessory The main body portion 196C starts to rotate together with the second stage side accessory main body portion 196F positioned above, and shifts upward from the front of the second elevating unit arm 198 and the second arm side accessory main body portion 196R.

  As shown in FIGS. 25 and 27, the first arm rotation cam follower 221a is disposed below the first arm rotation gear 221 so that the first arm rotation cam groove 226a is positioned at the bottom dead center. When the second arm rotation cam follower 222a is disposed below the second arm rotation gear 222 and the second arm rotation cam groove 227a is positioned at the bottom dead center, the first arm engagement receiving portion 226b and the second arm The first elevating unit arm 178 pushed up by the first arm engaging receiving portion 226b and the second elevating unit pushed up by the second arm engaging receiving portion 227b, each of which is located at the top dead center. Each arm 198 is located at the top dead center.

  In a state where the first elevating unit arm 178 is located at the top dead center, the first rotation operation cam follower 234 of the first shaft rotation mechanism 216 is engaged with the inclined upper end of the first rotation operation cam groove 235 and the first rotation operation cam follower 234 is engaged. The first turning operation cam follower 234 is pushed down to the bottom dead center (bottom dead center with respect to the first lifting / lowering unit arm 178), and this pushing force is transmitted from the first transmission gear 233 of the first turning operation arm 232 to the first lifting / lowering turning gear. 231 is sufficiently rotated counterclockwise as viewed from the front of the game board 5, and the first elevating decoration unit 171 is converted into the first decoration unfolding state. In the state where the second lifting / lowering unit arm 198 is located at the top dead center, the second rotation operation cam follower 244 of the second shaft rotation mechanism 217 is engaged with the inclined upper end of the second rotation operation cam groove 245. The second turning operation cam follower 244 is pushed down to the bottom dead center (bottom dead center with respect to the second lifting / lowering unit arm 198), and this pushing force is supplied from the second transmission gear 243 of the second turning operation arm 242 to the second lifting / lowering turn. The second elevating rotation shaft 206 is transmitted to the moving gear 241 and sufficiently rotated clockwise as viewed from the front of the game board 5 to convert the second elevating decoration unit 172 into the second decoration unfolded state. In this way, the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 is converted to the raised state, and in this raised state, the first lifting / lowering accessory body 176 is shifted upward from the partition wall 71 in the first decorative unfolded state, and the display unit 31a While located in the front, the second lifting / lowering object main body 196 is shifted upward from the partition wall 71 in the second decorative unfolded state and is located in front of the display unit 31a. And the 1st raising / lowering decoration unit 171 (1st raising / lowering accessory main-body part 176) of a 1st decoration deployment state and the 2nd raising / lowering decoration unit 172 (2nd raising / lowering accessory main part 196) of a 2nd decoration deployment state The display viewing space portion 248 is formed at a distance from each other, and the effect display on the display portion 31 a of the variable display device 31 is set so as to be visible from the front of the center case unit 51 through the display viewing space portion 248.

  Further, the first arm rotation cam follower 221 a is moved from the lower portion of the first arm rotation gear 221 by driving the lifting drive motor 223 to rotate the first arm rotation gear 221 and the second arm rotation gear 222. When the second arm rotation cam follower 222a is moved upward from the lower part of the second arm rotation gear 222, the first arm rotation cam groove 226a moves upward from the bottom dead center and moves to the first arm. While the rotation rod 226 swings, the second arm rotation cam groove 227a moves upward from the bottom dead center, and the second arm rotation rod 227 swings. Then, by the swing of the first arm rotation rod 226, the first arm engagement receiving portion 226b is lowered from the top dead center to pull down the first arm engagement portion 178a, and the first lifting unit arm 178 is pivotally attached. , And the second arm engagement receiving portion 227b is lowered from the top dead center to lower the second arm engagement portion 198a, and the second elevation The unit arm 198 is pivoted downward about the pivoted portion.

  At this time, in the first shaft rotation mechanism 216, the first rotation operation cam follower 234 descends along the first rotation operation cam groove 235, but from the rotation center of the first lifting unit arm 178 the first rotation. Since the separation distance to the dynamic operation cam groove 235 is set so as to gradually increase along the upward direction of the first lift unit arm 178, the first rotation operation cam follower 234 is lowered as the first lift unit arm 178 is lowered. Is lifted with respect to the first lifting / lowering unit arm 178, and further, the first transmission gear 233 is allowed to move downward by being rotated by the rotational force received from the first lifting / lowering rotating shaft 186. Then, the first stage-side accessory main body 176F is rotated by its own weight, and the first intermediate combination that has engaged the first intermediate-member-engaging protrusion 188 with the lower end of the first stage-side accessory-engaging groove 187a. The object body part 176C rotates together with the object body part 176C. When the first intermediate accessory body 176C is overlapped in front of the first arm side accessory body 176R, the upper end portion of the first intermediate accessory engagement groove 189a becomes the first arm side accessory engagement protrusion 190. The lower end portion of the first stage-side accessory engaging groove 187a of the first stage-side accessory body portion 176F that is engaged and stops descending and the lowering of the first stage-side accessory body portion 176F continues to descend is the first intermediate accessory. The engagement protrusion 188 is released downward. Further, when the first stage side accessory main body 176F continues to descend and overlaps the front of the first intermediate accessory main body 176C, the upper end portion of the first stage side accessory engagement groove 187a becomes the first intermediate accessory engagement. Engagement with the mating protrusion 188 stops the lowering of the first stage side accessory main body 176F.

  In the second shaft rotation mechanism 217, the second rotation operation cam follower 244 descends along the second rotation operation cam groove 245, but the second rotation operation cam follower 244 is second rotated from the rotation center of the second lifting unit arm 198. Since the separation distance to the operation cam groove 245 is set so as to gradually increase along the ascending direction of the second elevating unit arm 198, the second rotating operation cam follower 244 is moved as the second elevating unit arm 198 descends. The second elevating unit arm 198 is allowed to ascend, and further, the second transmission gear 243 is allowed to rotate by the rotational force received from the second elevating rotation shaft 206 and move downward. As a result, the second stage side accessory main body 196F is rotated by its own weight, and the second intermediate part engaging projection 208 is engaged with the lower end of the second stage side accessory engaging groove 207a. The object body 196C is rotated together with the object body 196C. Then, when the second intermediate accessory body 196C is overlapped in front of the second arm side accessory body 196R, the upper end portion of the second intermediate accessory engagement groove 209a becomes the second arm side accessory engagement protrusion 210. The lower end portion of the second stage-side accessory engaging groove 207a of the second stage-side accessory body portion 196F that continues to descend is the second intermediate accessory that is engaged and stops the lowering of the second intermediate accessory body portion 196C. The engagement protrusion 208 is released downward. Further, when the second stage side accessory main body 196F continues to descend and overlaps in front of the second intermediate accessory main body 196C, the upper end of the second stage side accessory engagement groove 207a becomes the second intermediate accessory engagement. Engagement with the mating protrusion 208 stops the lowering of the second stage side accessory main body 196F. Thus, while the 1st raising / lowering decoration unit 171 changes to a 1st decoration polymerization state, the 2nd raising / lowering decoration unit 172 converts to a 2nd decoration polymerization state, and the raising / lowering accessory unit 96 converts to a falling state.

Furthermore, in addition to the production control device 295 and the payout control device 296, a large winning opening solenoid 297 for opening and closing the large winning opening 45, a general electric solenoid 298 for opening and closing the ordinary electric accessory 42a, a collective display device 49, an external A command signal is transmitted to the information terminal 299 and the like, and the game is comprehensively controlled.

  As shown in FIG. 35, the effect control device 295 is used as a CPU for effect control, a PROM storing a control program for effect control, an image ROM storing image data, etc., and a work area during image control. It is composed of a VRAM, an input interface, an output interface, and the like. And a signal generated as the game progresses in the pachinko gaming machine 1, specifically, a control signal from the game control device 280, a signal from a switch provided on the game effect button 18, and each effect item Based on a signal from each sensor provided in the device 54, the rendering operation of the rendering accessory device (control target unit) 54 is controlled. Specifically, a board decoration device including a display on the display unit 31 a of the variable display device 31, a sound effect output from the upper speaker 21 and the lower speaker 15, and a light emitting body of the effect accessory device 54 provided on the game board 5. 300 light emission, light emission of the frame decoration device 301 such as LED provided on the transparent member holding frame 8, each driving source of the effect accessory device 54 provided on the game board 5 and the transparent member holding frame 8 The driving of the frame effect device 302 such as a drive source for driving the effect member (not shown) is controlled.

  Next, the operation of the game board 5 (pachinko gaming machine 1) having the above-described configuration, particularly the operation of the surrounding frame 30 and the operation of the auxiliary effect unit 260 will be described. Note that the game control device 280 does not play a variable display game (special map variable display game, general map variable display game) in advance and does not advance a game in a state where a special game state is not generated (normal game state). Assume that you are in control. In addition, the effect control device 295 sets the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 to the lowered state, and executes control to stop the operation of the auxiliary effect unit 260 (turn off the lighting device 269). It is assumed that the first unit base 115 is set in the raised state and the control for stopping the rotation of the first decorative body 121 and the second decorative body 151 is executed.

  When a game ball launched from a launching device (not shown) enters the game area 25 through the launch ball guide path 26 and passes over the surrounding frame 30 to reach the buffer member 34, the game ball The flying force is weakened by abutting against the buffer member 34, falls downward, and enters the ball inlet 82a of the ball flow lowering region 82. Then, it flows down in the ball flow down area 82 and is discharged from the ball outlet 82 b to the lower side of the surrounding frame 30 in the game area 25, and further reaches the lower end of the game area 25 and is collected in the out port 48. As described above, if the center case unit 51 is provided with the ball flow down region 82 formed by the side edge partition wall 80 and the guide wall 81, even if the center case unit 51 is enlarged, one side of the game region 25 is provided. A game ball can flow down to the edge. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to give the player the impression that the moving range of the game ball is narrowed, and it is possible to suppress a reduction in the interest of the game. Further, since the falling area decoration cover 84 is formed of a translucent member, the behavior of the game ball in the ball falling area 82 can be shown to the player through the falling area decoration cover 84, and the entertainment of the game is improved. Can do. Furthermore, since the ball inlet 82a of the ball flow lowering area 82 is opened upward of the center case unit 51 in the gaming area 25, and the ball outlet 82b is opened downward of the center case unit 51 in the gaming area 25, The player can appreciate the behavior of the game ball moving greatly from the upper part to the lower part of the game area 25, and can further enhance the interest of the game.

  In addition, a plurality of impact projections 85 are alternately projected from the side edge partition wall 80 and the guide wall 81 along the extending direction of the ball flow lowering region 82 in the ball flow lowering region 82, It is possible to weaken the downflow force by making contact with the contact protrusions 85 one after another, and the game ball moves in the ball flow down region 82, and thus the game ball in the ball flow down region 82 is prolonged the watching time of the game. Can entertain. Further, since the side edge partition wall 80 is separated from the side case 24 and the case connection member 33, an impact generated when the game ball hits the contact protrusion 85 is transmitted to the side case 24 and the case connection member 33. This can prevent the side case 24 and the case connecting member 33 from being easily damaged.

  In addition, when the game ball that has entered the game area 25 wins (passes) the general diagram start gate 36, the game control device 280 executes the general diagram variation display game, and according to the result mode of this general diagram variation display game. Different control signals are transmitted to the collective display device 49, and the normal display indicating the result mode is displayed on the collective display device 49. Then, when the result mode of the normal variation display game is in a state of “winning”, the ordinary electric accessory 42a of the second start opening 42 is opened, and the game ball wins the second start opening 42. When the state is converted to an easy state and the state of “displacement” is indicated, the ordinary electric accessory 42a is maintained in a closed state.

  Further, when the game ball flowing down the game area 25 flows into the inlet 64 a of the ball introduction path 64, the game ball flows down the ball introduction path 64 and is discharged onto the stage unit 60 from the outlet 64 b of the ball introduction path 64. After rolling on the stage unit 60, the ball is discharged to the front of the stage unit 60 from the ball discharge unit 66 and the winning guide path 67. When the ball is released from the ball discharge unit 66, the game area 25 easily flows down to a place outside the start winning area 43, and therefore it is difficult to win the start winning area 43. Furthermore, when it is released from the winning guiding path 67, it is easy to flow down to the starting winning area 43 in the gaming area 25, and therefore, it is easy to win the starting winning area 43.

  Then, when the game ball wins the first start opening 41 in the start winning area 43 and is detected by the first start opening switch 283, the game control device 280 triggers the winning to the first start opening 41 (start condition). ), The first special figure variation display game is executed, and when the second starting port 42 is detected in the starting winning area 43 and is detected by the second starting port switch 284, the game control device 280 is set to the second starting port. The second special figure variation display game is executed with the winning of 42 as a trigger (starting condition). Further, the game control device 280 transmits different control signals to the collective display device 49 and the effect control device 295 according to the result mode of each special figure variation display game. As a result, the collective display device 49 displays a special symbol indicating the result mode, and the effect control device 295 displays according to the progress of each special figure variation display game (the effect display before the game result mode is determined). Then, control is executed to cause the variable display device 31 to perform display corresponding to the decoration operation (the accessory operation) by the effect accessory device 54 and the display device 31 after the display of the identification information in each variable display region 31b. Then, control is performed to cause the variable display device 31 to execute an effect display corresponding to the result mode (specifically, an effect display in which the identification information is variablely displayed in each variable display area 31b and then stopped). And when the result mode of each special figure variation display game is “big hit”, the game control device 280 generates a special game state for a preset period and opens the big prize opening 45, While the game ball is converted into a state where it is easy to win the big prize opening 45, if it is “out of place”, the big prize opening 45 is kept closed and the game ball is awarded to the big prize opening 45. To regulate.

  Furthermore, the production control device 295 executes production control (decoration operation) of the production effect device 54 and display control of the auxiliary production unit 260 in addition to the production display control in the variable display device 31. Regarding the production operation by the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96, for example, as shown in the time chart of FIG. The elevating / lowering accessory unit 96 is maintained in the lowered state, and the first stage side accessory main body 176F and the second stage side accessory main body 196F are positioned behind the stage 60, and in this state, the first stage The first elevating light emitter 177 in the side accessory main body 176F and the second elevating light emitter 197 in the second stage side accessory main body 196F are caused to emit light. Then, the light from the first stage side accessory body 176F and the second stage side accessory body 196F is irradiated to the stage 60 through the partition wall 71, and during a preset period (stage irradiation period). The light emitting decoration of the stage unit 60 is executed. Therefore, the component that performs the rendering operation around the stage unit 60 can also function as a light emitting unit that irradiates the stage unit 60 with light. Thereby, it is not necessary to secure the space for arranging the light emitting means of the stage unit 60 separately from the space for arranging the components for performing the rendering operation (elevating and lowering object unit 96), and the limited pachinko gaming machine 1 It is possible to enhance the interest of the game while effectively utilizing the space inside.

  Further, after the stage irradiation period has elapsed, the first elevating light emitter 177 in the first stage side accessory main body 176F and the second elevating light emitter 197 in the second stage side accessory main body 196F are turned off, The lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 is moved in small increments several times over a preset period (first effect period) to expect the player's expectation for the effect operation. At this time, the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 moves the first lifting decoration unit 171 and the second lifting decoration unit 172 from the lowered state to move up based on the presentation control by the presentation control device 295, and converts it into the raised state. Stop in the intermediate state and return to the lowered state. Further, in the intermediate state, all the first elevating light emitters 177 and second elevating light emitters 197 in the elevating accessory unit 96 emit light. When the first effect period has elapsed, the effect control device 295 maintains the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 in the lowered state over a preset period (second effect period) and all the first lifting / lowering light emitters 177. And the control which turns off the 2nd raising / lowering light emission body 197 is performed, and after progress of the 2nd production period, the raising / lowering accessory unit 96 will be in a raise state over the preset period (3rd production period (rise period)). In addition to the conversion, the first elevating light emitter 177 and the second elevating light emitter 197 are controlled to emit light. Further, the variable display device 31 performs control for effect display according to the accessory operation, and the effect display is caused to face the front of the center case unit 51 from the display visual recognition space portion 248 formed in the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96. When the third effect period has elapsed, the first elevating light emitter 177 and the second elevating light emission are converted after the elevating accessory unit 96 is converted from the raised state to the lowered state, and the elevating accessory unit 96 is converted to the lowered state. Control to turn off the body 197 is performed, and control for returning to the effect display corresponding to the progress of the game is performed on the variable display device 31.

  In the elevating / lowering object unit 96 that performs the rendering operation in this manner, when converted into the lowered state, the plurality of first elevating / lowering object main body portions 176 are arranged to overlap and the plurality of second elevating / lowering object main body portions 196 are arranged. When it is placed in an overlapping manner and converted into an elevated state, the plurality of first lifting / lowering accessory main body portions 176 are arranged while being shifted in the vertical direction and the plurality of second lifting / lowering accessory main body portions 196 are arranged while being shifted in the vertical direction. A large storage space is not required, and the effect can be enhanced by spreading more than the storage state during decoration production. In addition, since each first lifting / lowering light emitter 177 is mounted for each first lifting / lowering object body 176 and each second lifting / lowering light emitter 197 is mounted for each second lifting / lowering object body 196, each lifting / lowering light-emitting body 196 is mounted. The object main body portions 176 and 196 can be separately decorated with light emission, and the effect of production by the lifting / lowering object unit 96 can be improved. Further, the first light source connection wiring 253 is extended from the first arm side accessory main body 176R located at the lowest position in the raised state toward the other first lifting / lowering accessory main body 176 (see FIG. 30). Since the two light source connection wirings are extended from the second arm side accessory main body 196R located at the lowest position in the ascending state toward the other second lifting / lowering accessory main body 196, each light source is connected from the place where the rendering operation is not performed. Compared with the case where the connection wiring is drawn out, the movement of each light source connection wiring accompanying the rendering operation of the lifting / lowering object main body 176, 196 can be reduced. Therefore, the load received by each light source connection wiring due to the bending operation can be kept small, and it is possible to make it difficult to disconnect each light source connection wiring.

  The first stage side accessory body 176F is provided with a first wiring cover 254 on the upper edge of the first stage side accessory body 176F so as to cover the first light source connection wiring 253 from above, and on the upper edge of the second stage side accessory body 196F. Since the second light source connection wiring is covered from above with the second wiring cover 258, the first light source connection wiring 253 and the second light source connection wiring are obstructive to the player during the rendering operation of the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96. Can be avoided. Furthermore, in the ascending state of the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96, the effect display on the variable display device 31 can be visually recognized through the display visual recognition space portion 248. The effect can be expected.

  In addition, the light emission decoration in the raising / lowering accessory unit 96 is not limited to the light emission pattern in this embodiment. For example, light emission decoration is executed only on the first arm side accessory body 176R and the second arm side accessory body 196R, or on the first intermediate accessory body 176C and the second intermediate accessory body 196C. For example, the lighting decoration may be executed in a limited manner. Further, the emission color of the elevating light emitters 177 and 197 and the color of the light transmitting window portions 182 and 202 may be set differently for each elevating accessory body.

  In the present embodiment, there is a possibility that the rendering operation by the rendering accessory unit 95 may contact and interfere with the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96. This is performed in conjunction with the display operation and the display operation in the auxiliary effect unit 260. For example, the production control device 295 first drives the second main body drive mechanism 152 at a preset timing while the display according to the progress of each special figure variable display game is being executed by the variable display device 31. The control (second decoration control) is executed to rotate all the second decoration main body parts 151 to cause the second movable accessory unit 102 (second decoration main body part 151) to perform the decoration operation. Next, the control (first decoration control) for driving the first body drive mechanism 122 is executed in a state where the second decoration body 151 is continuously rotated, and all the first decoration bodies 121 are rotated. Then, the first movable accessory unit 101 (first decoration main body 121) is caused to perform the decoration operation.

  If the first decoration main body 121 and the second decoration main body 151 are rotated, a control (first unit operation control) for driving the first unit drive mechanism 116 is performed in a state in which the rotation is maintained. Then, the first unit base 115 is caused to perform the first unit operation so as to convert from the raised state to the lowered state. As a result, it is possible to gradually add and execute an effect operation in the effect accessory device 54 (the effect agent unit 95), and to make the player fully enjoyed by showing the appearance of the effect operation rising. be able to. Therefore, even if a part of the effect accessory device 54 moves to the front of the variable display device 31, a sufficient effect can be expected. Further, the first movable accessory unit 101 is arranged above the display unit 31a, and the second movable accessory unit 102 is arranged on the side of the display unit 31a, so that the rendering operation is on the side of the variable display device 31. It can be seen as if it has propagated upward from the direction, and the improvement of the visual effect can be further enhanced.

  In addition, after all the second decoration main body parts 151 perform the decoration operation in the second decoration control, all the first decoration main body parts 121 perform the decoration operation in the first decoration control. The production operation on the unit 101 and the production operation on the second movable accessory unit 102 can be made sufficiently conspicuous. Further, the first main body drive mechanism 122 includes a single first main body drive motor 126 so that all the second decorative main body portions 151 can be rotated, and the second main body drive mechanism 152 includes a single second main body. Since the drive motor 157 is provided so that all the first decorative main body parts 121 can be rotated, it is not necessary to provide a drive source for each of the first decorative main body parts 121 and each of the second decorative main body parts 151, so that the performance can be performed. The required configuration can be simplified. The second main body driving mechanism 152 includes a connection gear unit 165 provided with a connection gear 165b in a co-rotating state at both ends of the connection rotation shaft 165a. Since the rotation gear 161 is arranged to be shifted back and forth, the degree of freedom in the layout of the second decoration main body 151 that rotates together with the second rotation gear 161 can be increased.

  Further, since the second movable accessory unit 102 is provided between the decorative panel 78 and the variable display device 31, the synergy between the behavior of the game ball in the ball flow down area 82 and the rendering operation in the second movable accessory unit 102. The effect can be expected, and further improvement of the interest of the game can be achieved. In addition, the decorative panel 78 is provided with a decorative visual recognition window 89 so that the second decorative main body 151 of the second movable accessory unit 102 can be visually recognized from the front of the center case unit 51. It is easy to visually recognize the effect operation in the object unit 102. In addition to the second movable accessory unit 102, the surrounding frame body 30 includes an elevating accessory unit 96 and a first movable accessory unit 101. The first movable accessory unit 101 is disposed between the upper edge of the display opening 56 of the center case unit 51 and the variable display device 31. Therefore, the surrounding frame 30 can be provided with a plurality of components capable of performing the rendering operation, and a complicated rendering can be shown to the player. Moreover, since the large-sized center case unit 51 is provided, it is possible to secure a sufficient space for arranging the components for the rendering operation, and to easily provide a plurality of components for the rendering operation.

  The linkage between the effect operation of the effect agent unit 95 and the display operation in the variable display device 31 and the display operation in the auxiliary effect unit 260 is performed during the first unit operation of the first unit base 115 (the first operation by the effect control device 295). 1 unit operation control). Specifically, the effect control device 295 displays the identification information in a variable manner in the variable display area 31b of the variable display device 31 and starts executing the first unit operation control as shown in the time chart of FIG. While the one unit base 115 is moving downward from the raised state, the left side display illuminating device 269L and the right side display illuminating device 269R are controlled to turn on, and the left auxiliary display region 265L of the light guide plate 261 and The auxiliary display is performed in the right auxiliary display area 265R (see FIG. 38A). Further, with the first unit base 115 converted to the lowered state, the left display illumination device 269L and the right display illumination device 269R are turned off and the central display illumination device 269C is turned on. The auxiliary display in the left auxiliary display area 265L and the right auxiliary display area 265R of the light guide plate 261 is stopped and the auxiliary display is performed in the central auxiliary display area 265C (see FIG. 38B).

  Further, while the first unit base 115 moves upward from the lowered state and returns to the raised state, first, the central display illumination device 269C is turned off at the timing when the first unit base 115 starts to rise. Control for lighting the right display illumination device 269R is executed to stop the auxiliary display in the central auxiliary display area 265C and perform the auxiliary display in the right auxiliary display area 265R. Then, while the first unit base 115 is moving up, for example, when the tip of the first unit base 115 reaches the front of the left auxiliary display area 265L, the right display illumination device 269R is turned off and the left display is displayed. Control for lighting the lighting device 269L is executed to stop the auxiliary display in the right auxiliary display area 265R and perform the auxiliary display in the left auxiliary display area 265L.

  Since the auxiliary effect unit 260 executes the auxiliary display in response to the first unit operation of the first unit base 115 in this way, the effect operation of the first movable accessory unit 101 can be made to stand out, and the first movable A synergistic effect between the effect by the accessory unit 101 and the effect by the auxiliary effect unit 260 can be expected. Further, the auxiliary effect unit 260 performs auxiliary display in the auxiliary display area 265 set corresponding to the variable display area 31b, and the effect control device 295 further performs the first unit operation and the auxiliary effect of the first unit base 115. Since the control for linking the auxiliary display in the unit 260 and the variation display of the identification information in the variation display device 31 is executed, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for the result mode of the variation display game, and the interest of the game Improvements can be made. The auxiliary effect unit 260 includes a light guide plate 261 and an auxiliary display light source 262. A light bending portion 267a is formed in the auxiliary display area 265 set on the light guide plate 261, and the light bending portion 267a is bent. Since the auxiliary display is executed by the light, the auxiliary effect unit 260 capable of executing an unprecedented effect display can be realized with a simple configuration. Further, since the light guide plate 261 is made transparent, it is possible to show the player as if the auxiliary display to be lit is floating in the air, and a more innovative effect display can be performed. Moreover, in the state where the auxiliary effect unit 260 is not executing auxiliary display (non-execution state), the display on the variable display device 31 does not become difficult to see.

  Note that the first unit base 115 can be set by changing the identification information displayed on the variable display device 31 to different identification information in accordance with the timing when the first unit base 115 passes the front of the variable display area 31b. The effect display can be executed as if the identification information is turned over.

In short, as long as the operations are different from each other, the first unit operation of the first unit base 115 and the decoration operations of the first decoration body 121 and the second decoration body 151 may be set to any operation. . For example, the first unit operation is realized by sliding the first unit base 115, deformation, conversion from an invisible state to a visible state, and a combination thereof, and the first decorative body 121 and the second decorative body 151 The decoration operation may be realized by an operation different from the first unit operation by sliding, deformation, conversion from the invisible state to the visible state, and a combination thereof. In addition, if the first decoration body 121 and the second decoration body 151 are set so as to exert a decoration effect by the same operation (in this embodiment, rotation in the same direction), the second movable accessory The player can be given an impression that the movement in the unit 102 has spread to the first movable accessory unit 101, and the player's expectation for the game can be increased, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first decorative main body 121 and the second decorative main body 151 may be set to perform similar operations (sliding in different directions, rotating in different directions, etc.).

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the auxiliary | assistant effect unit 260 was mentioned as an auxiliary | assistant effect | action means which can perform an auxiliary | assistant display, this invention is not limited to this. In short, as long as auxiliary display different from the effect display in the variable display device 31 can be executed, any auxiliary display may be executed by any configuration of auxiliary effect means. For example, the auxiliary display means may not be provided separately from the variation display device 31, and the auxiliary display may be executed in the variation display device 31 in a mode different from the effect display based on the winning of the game ball. In other words, the variable display device 31 may be set so as to function also as an auxiliary effect means. Further, a display means different from the variable display device 31, for example, a transparent display board on which an illustration is described is configured as an auxiliary effect means, and the player moves the display board to the front of the variable display apparatus 31. You may set so that an illustration can be converted into the visually recognizable state and auxiliary display is performed. Furthermore, you may implement | achieve an auxiliary | assistant effect means combining these illustrations.

  And in the said embodiment, although the 2nd movable accessory unit 102 has been arrange | positioned on the right side of the display part 31a, this invention is not limited to this. In short, the second movable accessory unit 102 may be disposed on the side of the display unit 31a, and thus may be disposed on the left side of the display unit 31a.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, when the raising / lowering accessory unit 96 was converted into the falling state, it set so that the whole front surface of the raising / lowering accessory unit 96 might be coat | covered from the front by the partition wall part 71, but this invention is limited to this. Not. In short, it suffices that the light emitted from the lowered elevating accessory unit 96 is applied to the stage unit 60 to give a light emitting decoration. The upper portion of the partition wall 71 may be positioned in a state of protruding upward from the upper end of the partition wall portion 71. And although it was avoided that the raising state of the raising / lowering accessory unit 96 and the lowering state in the 1st unit base 115 were set simultaneously, this invention is not limited to this. If the mounting position and size are adjusted so that the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 and the first unit base 115 do not interfere with each other, the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 and the first unit base 115 are simultaneously driven to perform the rendering operation. May be.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although the 1st decoration main-body part 121 was provided in the 1st movable accessory unit 101 as a structure which exhibits a decoration effect, this invention is not limited to this. For example, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 39 to FIG. 44, the configuration is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, but the first movable accessory unit 101 has a decoration part separate from the first decoration body part 121. It differs in that it has. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 39 and 40, the first movable accessory unit 101 includes a plurality of (three in this embodiment) swingable decorative members 311 that function as decorative portions. The first unit base 115 is suspended and provided in a state of being aligned along the longitudinal direction of the first unit base 115 and protruding downward from the inside of the first unit base 115. Further, the first unit base is located above the upper end of the swing decorative member 311 in the first unit base 115 in the raised state (a state in which the posture is in the horizontal direction along the upper edge of the display opening 56). 115 is provided with a strip-shaped decorative light emitting substrate 312 extending along the longitudinal direction of 115, and light is applied to the swing decorative member 311 at a position located above each swing decorative member 311 of the decorative light emitting substrate 312. Oscillating decorative light sources 313 such as LEDs for irradiation are provided. Further, each swing decorative light source 313 is covered with the first front base 115 a of the first unit base 115 so that it cannot be seen from the front of the first movable accessory unit 101.

  As shown in FIGS. 40 and 41, the swing decorative member 311 includes a vertically long swing rod 316, and a swing bearing portion 317 is provided at the upper end of the swing rod 316 along the front and back direction of the game board 5. The swinging bearing portion 317 is loosely fitted to the connecting shaft 132 and is mounted on the first movable accessory unit 101 in a swingable state. And the lower part which becomes a rocking | fluctuation end part of the rocking | fluctuation rod 316 is exposed below the 1st unit base 115, is arrange | positioned ahead of the display part 31a, and this lower part is the longitudinal direction (in other words, the 1st unit base 115). The rocking motion can be executed by reciprocating along the left and right direction of the game board 5. Further, a plurality of (three in this embodiment) decorative light reflecting portions 318 simulating a flower shape are arranged on the front surface of the lower portion of the swing rod 316 along the longitudinal direction of the swing rod 316, and the decorative light is provided. The surface of the reflection part 318 is subjected to a treatment such as plating, and the light emitted from the swing decoration light source 313 to the swing decoration member 311 is forwarded to the front of the game board 5 (player side) by the decoration light reflection part 318. It is configured to reflect (see FIG. 42). Note that the swinging decorative member 311 and the decorative light reflecting portion 318 may be one instead of plural. Further, the number of decorative light reflecting portions 318 provided in each swing decorative member 311 may be different.

  In the swing decoration member 311 suspended from the connecting shaft 132, the first decoration posture (position at the start of swing) and the second decoration differ in the visual recognition state such as the stop position and the posture by executing the swing motion. Convert to posture (maximum swing posture). In the first decorative posture, as shown in FIG. 43A, the swing rod 316 is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the first unit base 115 (when the first unit base 115 is in the raised state, The decorative decorative member 311 is suspended by its own weight), and the decorative light reflecting portions 318 are arranged along the light irradiation axis direction of the swing decorative light source 313 and are within the light irradiation range of the swing decorative light source 313. (In FIG. 43 (a), it is located in a band-like range partitioned by a two-dot chain line). On the other hand, in the second decorative posture, as shown in FIG. 43 (b), the swing rod 316 is tilted from a posture orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the first unit base 115 (first decorative posture). The decorative light reflecting portions 318 are arranged along a direction different from the light irradiation axis direction of the swing decorative light source 313, and the decorative light reflecting portion 318 located at least at the lowest position among the plurality of decorative light reflecting portions 318 is swing decorative. Out of the light irradiation range of the light source 313.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 provided with the swing decoration member 311 and the swing decoration light source 313 having such a configuration in the first movable accessory unit 101, as shown in FIG. 44, the effect control device 295 includes the first unit. When the first unit operation control for driving the drive mechanism 116 (specifically, the first unit drive motor 136) is executed to cause the first unit base 115 to perform the first unit operation (up and down movement), the swing in the suspended state is performed. The decorative member 311 is driven by the first unit operation of the first unit base 115 to perform a swinging operation in front of the display unit 31a. In other words, the first unit drive motor 136 that drives the first unit base 115 functions as a swing drive source, and the swing decorative member 311 is driven by the first unit drive motor 136 (specifically, the first A swinging operation is performed by being driven by the driving force of the first unit driving motor 136 transmitted through the unit base 115. Further, the effect control device 295 executes light emission control of the swing decoration light source 313, the swing decoration light source 313 emits light in conjunction with the vertical movement of the first unit base 115, and the swing decoration member 311 is the first. When the decorative light reflecting portion 318 is positioned within the light irradiation range of the swinging decorative light source 313 due to a decorative posture or the like, the light from the swinging decorative light source 313 is forwarded to the front of the game board 5 by the decorative light reflecting unit 318. Reflected.

  In this way, the first movable accessory unit 101 executes the decoration effect by using the light from the swing decoration light source 313 as indirect light, so that the player can avoid directly viewing the swing decoration light source 313. It is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the player feels dazzling by watching the game effects. Moreover, the effect by reflection of light can be changed in conjunction with the movement of the first movable accessory unit 101. Therefore, it is possible to expect a sufficient effect without giving the player unpleasant feeling. Further, since each swing decorative member 311 is swung using the swing caused by the first unit operation of the first unit base 115, the swing of each swing decorative member 311 becomes irregular. Therefore, the timing at which the light of the rocking decorative light source 313 strikes or deviates from the decorative light reflecting portion 318 becomes irregular, and the indirect light effect by the rocking decorative member 311 can be avoided from becoming monotonous. Note that it is preferable to vary the weight for each swing decorative member 311 because the swing cycle of each swing decorative member 311 can be easily changed, and the monotonous effect of indirect light can be further avoided.

  In addition, the effect control device 295 executes control to display an image of a state where a plurality of petals are scattered on the display unit 31a, and the first movable accessory unit 101 moves up and down and the swing decoration member 311 performs the swing operation. During execution, control is performed to display an image of a plurality of petals scattered while moving along the swing direction (left-right direction) of the swing decorative member 311. Thus, if the display unit 31a of the variable display device 31 executes the effect display triggered by the first unit operation of the first unit base 115, the effect operation of the swing decorative member 311 of the first movable accessory unit 101 is performed. (Oscillation and reflection of light) can be emphasized, and a synergistic effect between the effect by the swing decorative member 311 and the effect by the variation display device 31 can be expected. Furthermore, if the first unit base 115 provided with the swing decorative member 311 is moved up and down along the direction of change of the identification information being displayed on the display unit 31a, a sense of expectation for the result form of the special figure change display game is expected. Can be sufficiently given to the player, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  By the way, the swing decorative member 311 may be fitted to the connection shaft 132 in an interference state so as to rotate together with the first decorative main body 121. In other words, the swing decoration member 311 is connected to the first rotation gear 130 connected to each first decoration main body 121, and a single first main body drive that is a rotation drive source of the first decoration main body 121. The motor 126 may function as a swing drive source, and the rotational force of the first main body drive motor 126 may be transmitted to each swing decorative member 311 by the first rotation transmission mechanism 127. If the rotational force of the first main body drive motor 126 is transmitted by the first rotation transmission mechanism 127 to cause each swing decorative member 311 to perform the swing operation, the swing operation (swing range) of the swing decorative member 311 is achieved. And the swing execution time can be controlled.

  In the configuration in which the swing decoration member 311 and the first decoration body 121 are rotated together, the rotation angle of the first decoration body 121 is limited to the swing range of the swing decoration member 311. Therefore, the swing mechanism of the swing decoration member 311 may be provided in the first unit base 115 separately from the rotation mechanism of the first decoration body 121. Specifically, a single rotational drive source that outputs rotational power is provided as a swing drive source separately from the first main body drive motor 126, and a rotational gear connected to each swing decorative member 311 is provided. Separately from the first rotation transmission mechanism 127, a rotation transmission mechanism that is connected separately from the components of the one rotation transmission mechanism 127 and transmits the rotational force of the rotation drive source to each swing decoration member 311. You may comprise (none is shown). If the swing mechanism of the swing decoration member 311 is provided separately from the rotation mechanism of the first decoration body 121, the swing decoration member 311 swings without restricting the operation of the first decoration body 121. The operation can be controlled.

  Further, the first movable accessory unit 101 may not include the first decorative main body 121 but may include a swing decorative member 311 instead. For example, the first decoration main body 121 is not provided at the front end of the connecting shaft 132 in which the swing decoration member 311 is fitted in a tight fit, and the first body drive motor 126 and the first rotation transmission mechanism 127 are swing decorated. It is good also as a structure only for driving the member 311. FIG. As shown in FIG. 45, the first movable accessory unit 101 does not include the first decorative main body 121, the first main body drive motor 126, and the first rotation transmission mechanism 127, but instead the first unit base 115. The swing support shaft 320 may be provided so as to extend in the front and back direction of the game board 5, and the swing decoration member 311 may be loosely fitted to the swing support shaft 320.

  In the case where a configuration (rotation drive source or rotation transmission mechanism) that can control the swing operation of the swing decoration member 311 regardless of the presence of the first decoration main body 121 is provided, the effect control device 295 may function as a rotation control unit and a display control unit to control the rotation drive source and to control the display unit 31a. For example, as shown in FIGS. 44 (a) and 44 (b), a rotation drive source such as the first main body drive motor 126 is clockwise when viewed from the front of the game board 5 under the control of the effect control device 295. When the turning power in one rotation direction is output and the swing decorative member 311 is swung in a state where the decorative light reflecting portion 318 moves leftward when viewed from the front of the game board 5, the display unit 31a controls the effect. It may be controlled by the device 295 to execute the first effect display represented by a moving image in which the petal pattern moves from the right side to the left side of the display unit 31a. On the other hand, the rotational drive source outputs the rotational force in the second rotational direction (second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction) that is counterclockwise when viewed from the front of the game board 5. When the swing decorative member 311 is swung in a state where the decorative light reflecting portion 318 moves rightward when viewed from the front of the game board 5, the display unit 31a is controlled by the effect control device 295 to display the petal pattern. You may perform the 2nd effect display (2nd effect display different from a 1st effect display) expressed with the moving image which moves to the right side from the left side of the part 31a. In this way, every time the effect display displayed on the display unit 31a is changed every time the direction of the rotational force of the rotational drive source is controlled to change the operation of the swing decorative member 311, the swing decorative member 311 is changed. This effect operation (swing and reflection of light) can be further emphasized by the effect display on the display unit 31a, and a synergistic effect between the effect by the swing decoration member 311 and the effect by the variable display device 31 can be expected. it can. The first effect display and the second effect display may have any display contents as long as they are different from each other.

  By the way, the first movable accessory unit 101 separately includes a light emitting source for irradiating light to the swing decorative member 311 in the first decorative posture and a light source for irradiating light to the swing decorative member 311 in the second decorative posture. You may prepare. For example, in the modification shown in FIG. 46, the first decorative light source 323a and the second decorative light source 323b are separately provided to form the swing decorative light source 323, and the first decorative light source 323a is configured in the first decorative posture. Is arranged on the extension line of the swinging rod 316 of the swinging decorative member 311 (in the first unit base 115 in the raised state, directly above the swinging decorative member 311), while the second decorative light emitting source 323b is set to the first decorative light emission It is arranged at a position shifted from the source 323a in the swinging direction of the swing decorative member 311 (on the first unit base 115 in the raised state, on the left and right sides of the first decorative light source 323a). The decoration light reflecting portion 318 of the swing decoration member 311 in the first decoration posture is irradiated with light from the first decoration light source 323a, and the first decoration light emission of the swing decoration member 311 in the second decoration posture. The decoration light reflecting portion 318 outside the light irradiation range of the source 323a is configured to irradiate light from the second decoration light source 323b. If the first decorative light source 323a and the second decorative light source 323b are provided above the swing decorative member 311, the swing decorative member 311 is converted into either the first decorative posture or the second decorative posture. However, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the effect due to the reflection of light from the swinging decoration light source 323 is not executed. In addition, if the first decoration light source 323a and the second decoration light source 323b have different light emission modes such as color and brightness, the effect due to the reflection of light can be executed gorgeously, and further effect effects are expected. be able to.

  In the first movable accessory unit 101, as shown in FIG. 47, one of the adjacent swing mounting portions (connection shaft 132 and swing support shaft 320) located on the first unit rotating shaft 119 side. These swing mounting portions may be arranged side by side in a state of being shifted to the front of the first movable accessory unit 101 with respect to the other swing mounting portions. By adopting such a configuration or the like, the swing mounting member such as the connecting shaft 132 and the swing support shaft 320 mounted with the swing decorative member 311 swingable can be mounted on the swing decorative member 311. If a plurality of the swing decorative members 311 are arranged side by side along a direction different from the moving direction, it is possible to avoid a problem that the swing decorative members 311 collide with each other. Furthermore, even if the first movable accessory unit 101 includes a plurality of swing decorative members 311, the degree of freedom of layout of each swing decorative member 311 is not easily limited. The direction in which the swing mounting portions are arranged may be set in any way as long as it is a direction different from the swing direction of the swing decorative member 311.

  Further, in the swing decorative member 311, as shown in FIG. 48A, the decorative light reflecting portion 318 located on the lower side of the decorative light reflecting portions 318 arranged vertically is changed to the decorative light reflecting located on the upper side. The first movable accessory unit 101 may be arranged side by side so as to be shifted toward the front of the first movable accessory unit 101 with respect to the portion 318. By adopting such a configuration or the like, the plurality of decorative light reflecting portions 318 are arranged along the vertical direction different from the light irradiation axis direction of the swing decorative light emitting sources 313 and 323, and each decoration is provided. If the light reflecting portion 318 is provided in a state where it is exposed to the swing decorative light source 313, 323, even if the swing decorative member 311 is provided with a plurality of decorative light reflecting portions 318 arranged in the vertical direction, the swing decorative light emission is performed. It is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the light from the sources 313 and 323 is blocked by the upper decorative light reflecting portion 318 and does not reach the lower decorative light reflecting portion 318, and the effect of light reflection can be sufficiently performed. The direction in which the decorative light reflecting portions 318 are arranged may be set in any way as long as the vertical direction is different from the light irradiation axis direction of the swing decorative light sources 313 and 323. For example, as shown in FIG. 48 (b), when the light irradiation axis direction of the swing decorative light source 313, 323 is set to be inclined downward toward the rear of the first movable accessory unit 101. In the swing decorative member 311 in the first decorative posture, the decorative light reflecting portion 318 may not be shifted and disposed before and after the first movable accessory unit 101.

Further, while the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 is converting from the lowered state to the raised state, the first illumination 340a maximizes the amount of light and displays the auxiliary display in the lower auxiliary display region 335a in a sufficiently bright state (FIG. 51 (a)), and the second illumination 340b starts to irradiate light to the light guide plate 331 and gradually increases the amount of light. By this light irradiation, the light guide plate 331 enters the upper auxiliary display region 335b in the upper half of the blade. The auxiliary display imitating the part is displayed in a brighter state. When the lifting / lowering unit 96 completes the conversion to the raised state, the second illumination 340b maximizes the amount of light and displays the auxiliary display in the upper auxiliary display region 335b in a sufficiently bright state, and the light guide plate 331 (light bending) The auxiliary display (auxiliary display simulating the shape of the blade) having the contour shape along the outer edge of the lifting / lowering object main body 176, 196 in the raised state is displayed over the entire auxiliary display area 335 (FIG. 51 (b)).

  Next, when the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 starts to convert from the raised state to the lowered state, the second illumination 340b gradually reduces the amount of light, and the light guide plate 331 gradually darkens the auxiliary display displayed in the upper auxiliary display region 335b. To do. Further, while the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 is converting from the raised state to the lowered state, the second illumination 340b stops the light irradiation, the light guide plate 331 stops the auxiliary display in the upper auxiliary display region 335b, and The first illumination 340a gradually reduces the amount of light, and the light guide plate 331 gradually darkens the auxiliary display displayed in the lower auxiliary display area 335a. Then, when the lifting / lowering unit 96 completes the conversion to the lowered state, the first illumination 340a stops the light irradiation, and the light guide plate 331 stops the auxiliary display in the lower auxiliary display area 335a.

  In this way, the lighting device 340 makes light incident from the outer edge of the light guide plate 331 when the elevating accessory unit 96 is converted from the lowered state to the elevated state, and the elevating accessory unit is reflected by the light bent by the light bending portion 338. Since the auxiliary display for assisting the decoration effect 96 is displayed, even if the elevating accessory main body 176, 196 is not equipped with a light emission source, a decoration effect by light emission is performed in front of the elevating accessory main body 176, 196. be able to. Therefore, the weight of the lifting / lowering object main body portions 176 and 196 is reduced, and the load applied to the lifting / lowering drive motor 223 as the lifting / lowering drive source is reduced, and the effect by the lifting / lowering role unit 96 and the auxiliary display unit (light guide plate 331) is achieved. The effect can be fully expected. Further, since the auxiliary display having the contour shape along the outer edge of the elevating / lowering object main body portions 176 and 196 in the ascending state is displayed, the decoration effect as if the elevating / lowering object main body portions 176 and 196 emit light is executed. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the effect of the elevator unit 96 and the light guide plate 331. Furthermore, since the first illumination 340a that causes light to enter the lower light bending portion 338a and the second illumination 340b that causes light to enter the upper light bending portion 338b are separately provided, the auxiliary display area 335 is moving up and down. The execution mode of the auxiliary display can be set in a complicated manner, for example, by performing the auxiliary display only on the portions overlapping the lifting / lowering object main body portions 176 and 196.

  In addition, in the state where the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 is converted to the raised state, the effect control device 295 functions and controls as the control means in the present invention, and the lifting / lowering accessory is viewed from the front of the light guide plate 331 in the display unit 31a. If an effect display for decorating the lifting / lowering object main body portions 176 and 196 is executed in an area located outside the main body portions 176 and 196, the periphery of the lifting / lowering role body main body portions 176 and 196 can be decorated with the display portion 31a. Thus, a synergistic effect of production by the lifting / lowering object unit 96 and the variable display device 31 can be expected. Furthermore, if the control for displaying the effect display at the position facing forward through the display visual space portion 248 in the display unit 31a is executed, the effect display on the variable display device 31 in the variable display device 31 can be visually recognized through the display visual space portion 248. Therefore, it is possible to further expect a synergistic effect between the effect in the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 and the effect in the variable display device 31. If the effect display executed on the display unit 31a is set to be darker or brighter than the light emission of the lifting / lowering object body 176, 196, the lifting / lowering object body 176, 196 can be made conspicuous, If the brightness is set to be the same as the light emission of the elevating / lowering object main body portions 176 and 196, it is possible to expect a production effect as if the elevating / lowering object main body portions 176 and 196 are integrated with the display unit 31a.

  By the way, the auxiliary display executed in the auxiliary display area 335 is not limited to being divided into upper and lower parts. For example, in the modification of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 53, auxiliary display is executed by dividing into an outline (outer edge) 335c of the auxiliary display area 335 and an inner part 335d surrounded by the outline 335c. It is configured. More specifically, the dot groove 337 located in the contour portion 335c of the auxiliary display area 335 in the light guide plate 331 only applies light emitted from the auxiliary display light source 332 with the contour portion 335c as an irradiation target, and the light bending portion 338. The (contour light bending portion 338c) is bent toward the front of the light guide plate 331, and light that does not target the contour portion 335c is transmitted to the outside of the light guide plate 331 without being bent forward of the light guide plate 331. It is configured to let you. In addition, the dot groove 337 located in the inner portion 335d of the auxiliary display region 335 in the light guide plate 331 is configured to emit only light emitted from the auxiliary display light source 332 with the inner portion 335d as an irradiation target. Part 338d) is bent toward the front of the light guide plate 331, and light that does not irradiate the inner part 335d is transmitted to the outside of the light guide plate 331 without being bent forward of the light guide plate 331. Has been.

  Further, the auxiliary display light source 332 includes a plurality of lighting devices 340 that allow light to enter from the outer edge of the light guide plate 331 along the edge of the light guide plate 331. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 53, in addition to the first illumination 340a and the second illumination 340b provided on the side of the light guide plate 331 (left side in FIG. 53A), the light guide plate 331 Two lighting devices 340 arranged along the upper edge (the third lighting 340c located on the first lifting / lowering object body 176 side (right side in FIG. 53)) and the second lifting / lowering object body 196 side (FIG. 53). A fourth illumination 340d) located in the middle, left). Then, light generated from the first illumination 340a and the second illumination 340b can be incident on the contour light bending portion 338c formed in the contour portion 335c of the auxiliary display area 335, and the first lift object main body 176 side is allowed to enter. The light bending part 338 formed in the inner part 335d of the auxiliary display area 335 positioned can receive light generated from the third illumination 340c, and is located on the second lifting / lowering object main body 196 side. The light generated from the fourth illumination 340d can be incident on the light bending portion 338d formed in the inner portion 335d. Further, in each of the lighting devices 340a to 340d, the amount of light (light intensity) can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of lighting of the light emitters mounted therein or adjusting the luminance of the light emitter itself. It is configured.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 that includes the auxiliary effect unit 330 having such a configuration in the effect accessory device 54, an effect operation is executed based on the time chart shown in FIG. Specifically, based on the control of the effect control device 295, the third illumination 340c and the fourth illumination 340d begin to irradiate the light guide plate 331 before the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 starts to convert from the lowered state to the raised state. At the same time, the amount of light is gradually increased, and by this light irradiation, the light guide plate 331 displays an auxiliary display imitating the outline of the blade on the outline 335c of the auxiliary display area 335 in a gradually brightened state. In addition, when the third illumination 340c and the fourth illumination 340d maximize the light amount and display the auxiliary display of the contour portion 335c in a sufficiently bright state (see FIG. 53A), the first illumination 340a and the second illumination 340b are displayed. The light is started to irradiate the light guide plate 331 and the amount of light is gradually increased. By this light irradiation, the auxiliary display imitating the shape of a blade that the light guide plate 331 is slightly smaller than the contour portion 335c on the inner portion 335d of the auxiliary display region 335 is provided. Is displayed in a brighter state. When the first illumination 340a and the second illumination 340b maximize the light amount and display the auxiliary display of the inner portion 335d in a sufficiently bright state (see FIG. 53A), the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 rises from the lowered state. Convert to state. In this way, if the auxiliary display is executed in the auxiliary display area 335 before the elevating accessory unit 96 is converted to the raised state, the auxiliary display can function as a notice effect of the effect operation of the elevating accessory unit 96. . It should be noted that only the first illumination 340a and the second illumination 340b are made to emit light before the conversion of the lifting / lowering object unit 96 to the ascending state, and a notice effect of the effect operation of the lifting / lowering object unit 96 is displayed in the contour portion 335c of the auxiliary display area 335. Or only the third illumination 340c and the fourth illumination 340d are made to emit light before the conversion of the lifting / lowering object unit 96 to the ascending state, so that the advancement effect of the lifting / lowering object unit 96 is notified. May be executed only in the inner portion 335d of the auxiliary display area 335.

  In addition, when the lifting / lowering accessory unit 96 starts to convert from the raised state to the lowered state, the third illumination 340c and the fourth illumination 340d gradually reduce the amount of light, and the auxiliary display in which the light guide plate 331 is displayed by the inner portion 335d. Make it darker gradually. Further, during the conversion of the lifting / lowering object unit 96 from the raised state to the lowered state, the third illumination 340c and the fourth illumination 340d stop the light irradiation, and the light guide plate 331 stops the auxiliary display in the inner portion 335d. In addition, the first illumination 340a and the second illumination 340b gradually decrease the amount of light, and the light guide plate 331 gradually darkens the auxiliary display displayed by the contour portion 335c. When the lifting / lowering unit 96 completes the conversion to the lowered state, the first illumination 340a and the second illumination 340b stop irradiating light, and the light guide plate 331 stops the auxiliary display in the contour portion 335c.

  By the way, as shown in FIGS. 55 (a) and 55 (b), the elevating / lowering object unit 96 in the third embodiment and its modification is formed by partially forming the elevating / lowering object main body portions 176, 196. It is good also as providing the translucent window part 343 by penetrating or penetrating and making the production | presentation display displayed on the display part 31a visually recognizable through the translucent window part 343 and the light-guide plate 331. If an effect display on the display unit 31a is faced from the translucent window unit 343, the display content of the display unit 31a can be displayed as if it was displayed in the elevating accessory body 176, 196 and the decoration effect can be executed. Yes, the degree of freedom of game production can be increased.

  Further, the auxiliary display in the third embodiment and its modification is not limited to a shape imitating a blade. In short, any shape of auxiliary display may be used as long as it can display an auxiliary display having a contour shape along the outer edges of the lifting / lowering object bodies 176 and 196 in the raised state. For example, it may be an auxiliary display in which a contour shape is formed by extending a straight line or a curved line along the outer edge of the lifting / lowering object main body portions 176, 196 in the raised state. Further, dot grooves are formed on the front surfaces of the lifting / lowering object main body portions 176 and 196 and the partition wall portion 71 to function as the light guide plate 331, and auxiliary display is executed on the lifting / lowering object body portions 176 and 196 and the partition wall portion 71. You may comprise as follows. In addition, when the auxiliary display can be displayed on the front surface of the elevating / lowering object main body parts 176 and 196, the movement range (vertical movement range) is narrower than the other elevating / lowering object main body parts 176 and 196, and the backlash is small. If the side accessory main body portions 176R and 196R are subjected to a light guide process (dot groove processing), it is possible to perform auxiliary display that hardly causes blurring.

  By the way, in a conventional gaming machine, for example, a pachinko gaming machine, a variation display game is executed by variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information using a winning of a game ball at a starting port as a starting condition. Is configured to open and close the grand prize opening to generate a special gaming state (hit state), and to allow a large number of gaming balls to be awarded to the big prize opening. ing.

  In addition, in a pachinko machine, when a game ball wins a start opening during execution of a variable display game, an upper limit number set in advance as a start memory for execution of a new variable display game based on the winning Up to a preset upper limit number corresponding to the start memory. Furthermore, the result mode and execution mode of the pending variable display game are determined before the variable display game is executed, and the display mode (color, shape, etc.) of the start-up memory display is varied to result in the result mode of the variable display game. In addition, it has been proposed that a determination result of an execution mode (a variation pattern of identification information or the like) is notified (execution of a so-called pre-reading notification) (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-174075).

  However, in the pachinko gaming machine, the criterion for determining the execution mode of the variable display game is set to change as the gaming state changes. For this reason, after the execution mode of one variation display game is determined to be on hold and the prefetching notice is executed, another variation display game that has been suspended before the one variation display game is executed, and the gaming state is changed. When a change (for example, a big hit state occurs), the execution mode of one variable display game may be set different from the content of the pre-reading notice. Therefore, if the start memory display for which the pre-reading notice is given is maintained in the same display mode until immediately before the execution of the variable display game corresponding to the start memory display, the actually executed execution form may not match the pre-reading notice content. obtain.

  As a means for resolving this inconsistency, when the game state changes after the pre-reading notice is executed, the start memory display in the form in which the pre-reading notice is executed is switched to the pre-reading notice non-execution form and displayed again. However, there is a possibility that the player may feel uncomfortable.

  Configuration for implementing the first to sixth control inventions in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of each of the above embodiments (collective display device 49, display unit 31a of the variable display device 31, game control device 280, effect control device 295) Specifically, the collective display device 49 provided on the lower side case 24b includes a normal symbol display (ordinary symbol display), a first special symbol indicator (special symbol 1 indicator), and a second special symbol display. A symbol display (special figure 2 display) or the like is mounted (none is shown). The normal symbol display device is a display device such as an LED that performs a general variation display game when a game ball serving as a start condition wins (passes) to the general diagram start gate 36. It is configured to display a normal symbol (ordinary diagram) by turning on or off. Then, when the result mode of the normal variation display game is in a state of “winning”, the ordinary electric accessory 42a of the second start opening 42 is opened, and the game ball is likely to win the second start opening 42. Convert to state. Further, the variable display device 31 displays the fact that the game ball has passed the general map start gate 36 but suspended the execution of the general map variable display game as a general map start memory display up to the maximum number of general map hold (for example, four). It is comprised so that it can do (not shown).

  The first special symbol display is a display such as a 7-segment LED that performs the first special figure fluctuation display game (special figure 1 fluctuation display game) in response to winning of the game ball as a starting condition at the first starting port 41. A special symbol such as numbers and symbols when the first special figure variation display game is executed. The second special symbol display is a 7-segment LED that performs a second special figure variation display game (special figure two variation display game) in response to winning of a game ball as a starting condition at the second starting port 42, etc. The display is configured to variably display special symbols such as numbers and symbols when the second special figure variation display game is executed. When the result form of the special figure fluctuation display game (the first special figure fluctuation display game, the second special figure fluctuation display game) shows a predetermined special result aspect (big hit), the pachinko game The gaming state of the machine 1 changes from the normal state to the special gaming state (either the 15R normal big hit state or the 15R probability variable big hit state). When 15R is changed to the normal big hit state, the game will be released 15 times as a round game for 20 seconds at the big prize opening 45 or until 10 game balls are won. The probability of a big hit mode in the game is set to the same probability as in the normal state. On the other hand, when it changes to the 15R probability change big hit state, the game will be released 15 times as a round game for 20 seconds at the big winning opening 45 or until 10 game balls are won. The probability of becoming a special result mode in the variable display game is set to a higher probability than in the normal state.

  As shown in FIG. 56 (a), in the variation display device 31 during execution of the special figure variation display game, three pieces of identification information (designs) displayed on the left side, the center, and the right side of the display unit 31a are variably displayed. Then, the decoration special figure fluctuation display game (effect display of the special figure fluctuation display game) is executed. Further, the first memory display unit 501 set in the lower left corner of the display unit 31a has a special feature that the game ball has won the first start port 41 but the execution of the first special figure variable display game is suspended. The first special figure start memory display m1 which is a kind of the figure start memory display m can be displayed up to the first special figure reservation upper limit number (for example, four). In addition, the second memory display unit 502 set in the lower right corner of the display unit 31a indicates that the game ball has won the second start opening 42 but the execution of the second special figure variable display game is suspended. As the second special figure start memory display m2 which is a kind of the figure start memory display m, the second special figure hold upper limit number (for example, four) can be displayed. The first special figure start memory display m1 and the second special figure start memory display m2 are displayed in a size smaller than the identification information.

  The game control device 280 functions as a start winning storage means, extracts a random number based on the winning of the game ball to the normal start gate 36 and the start winning area 43, and starts the random number as a right to execute the variable display game. Stores up to a preset game storage upper limit (holding upper limit) as memory. Specifically, when the game ball passes the normal map start gate 36 but the execution of the normal map change display game is suspended, the normal map start storage (the right to execute the normal map change display game) is set as the upper limit of the general map hold ( For example, up to four) can be stored. Furthermore, the game ball wins the first start opening 41 but the execution of the first special figure variable display game is suspended, in other words, the right to execute the first special figure variable display game is stored in the first special figure start memory (special figure). 1 start memory) can be stored up to the first special figure hold upper limit number (for example, 4), and the game ball has won the second start opening 42, but the execution of the second special figure fluctuation display game is withheld, in other words The right to execute the second special figure variation display game can be stored as the second special figure start memory (special figure 2 start memory) up to the second special figure reservation upper limit number (for example, four). When the start memory is stored in the game control device 280, the effect control device 295 functions as a start memory display means, and a start memory display corresponding to each start memory being stored (pending) (normal start memory) The display, the first special figure start memory display m1, and the second special figure start memory display m2) are displayed on the memory display unit (the first memory display unit 501, the second memory display unit 502, etc.).

  And the game control apparatus 280 and the production | presentation control apparatus 295 are comprised so that the prefetch advance notice of the result aspect of a special figure fluctuation display game may be performed. Specifically, it is determined in advance (specifically, before the suspension of the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game is released) what kind of execution mode and result form the pending special figure fluctuation display game is scheduled to become. It is configured to execute an effect to be notified (pre-effect). In the execution mode of the special map variable display game, more specifically, in the execution mode of the decorative special map variable display game displayed on the variable display device 31, a plurality of reach effects (normal reach, SP1 reach, SP2 reach, SP3 reach, special Reach 1, special reach 2, and special reach 3) are set (see FIG. 57). The prior effect (prefetch effect) will be described in detail later.

  Further, a part (for example, ROM) of the game control device 280 includes a game state for each result mode (“big hit”, “losing”) that can occur in the special figure fluctuation display game and at the time of execution of the special figure fluctuation display game. The variation pattern selection table set for each (“normal state”, “after big hit state”) is preset and stored. In the variation pattern selection table, as shown in FIG. 57, the reach effect and the variation display time (decorative feature) are displayed for each variation pattern random number range that determines the variation pattern of the identification information among the random numbers stored as the special diagram start memory. And a variable display time of identification information in a graphic display game. In the special figure variation display game executed in the “normal state”, when the result mode is “big hit”, “normal reach”, “SP1 reach”, “SP2 reach”, “SP3 reach” If either is executed and the result mode is “losing”, any one of “normal reach”, “SP1 reach”, “SP2 reach”, “SP3 reach” is executed, or any reach effect Is not executed. In the special figure fluctuation display game executed during the “after big hit state”, when the result mode is “big hit”, “normal reach”, “special reach 1”, “special reach 2”, “special reach”. 3 ”is executed and the result mode is“ losing ”, either“ special reach 1 ”,“ special reach 2 ”, or“ special reach 3 ”is executed, or Reach production is not executed.

  In this way, since a plurality of variation pattern selection tables are set separately corresponding to each gaming state, when the gaming state changes before and after the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game, specifically, the special figure fluctuation display is performed. Before the game was executed, it was in the “normal state”, but the special game state was generated because the special figure variation display game became a special result mode, and after the completion of this special game state, it would be “the state after the big hit” Is determined, the determination criteria of the reach effect scheduled to be executed in the decoration special figure fluctuation display game differs before and after the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game.

Next, the execution of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of each of the above-described embodiments, in particular, the processing during the special figure variation display game in which the pre-production can be executed, and the processing after the end of the special figure variation display game will be described.
When a game ball fired from a launching device (not shown) jumps into the game area 25 and flows down and wins (passes) the normal start gate 36, the game control device 280 stores the normal start memory. Whether or not up to the holding upper limit number is memorized, in other words, the number of execution holding suspension of the game variable display game that has been won by the game ball to the usual figure start gate 36 but is not processed (waiting for execution) is the upper limit number of times ( For example, it is determined whether or not it has reached 4). If the number of suspensions of execution of the usual figure fluctuation display game has not reached the upper limit number of times of holding, a new figure memorization memory for winning this time to the ordinary figure starting gate 36 is newly stored, and the upper limit number of times of holding has been reached. If this is the case, the winning figure starting memory for the current winning figure starting gate 36 is not stored, and the execution of the changing figure display game is not newly suspended. At this time, the effect control device 295 executes control for displaying the normal figure start memory display on the part of the display unit 31a by the same number as the number of the normal figure start memory.

  In addition, the game control device 280 releases and digests one memory from the general chart start memory with a long holding period among the general chart start memories that are on hold, and each time one digests one general chart start memory. The figure change display game is executed once, and the result of the common figure change display game is displayed on the normal symbol display. In the case where only the ordinary map start memory stored immediately before is stored, the stored ordinary map start memory is canceled and the ordinary map variable display game is executed. In the case where the result mode of the executed universal map change display game is a mode indicating “winning”, the ordinary electric accessory 42a is opened to convert the game ball into a state in which it is easy to win the second starting port 42, In the case of “losing”, the ordinary electric accessory 42a is kept closed. And in the production | presentation control apparatus 295, control which erase | eliminates the universal figure start memory display corresponding to the digest figure (memory cancellation | release) common figure start memory display from the display part 31a of the fluctuation | variation display apparatus 31 is performed.

  When the game ball wins the first start port 41, the game control device 280 determines whether or not the first special figure start memory is stored up to the first special figure hold upper limit number, in other words, the game ball is the first It is determined whether or not the number of execution suspensions of the first special figure variation display game that has won the start opening 41 but has not yet been processed (waiting for execution) has reached the maximum number of suspensions (for example, four). If the number of execution suspensions of the first special figure variation display game has not reached the upper limit number of suspensions, it functions as a start winning storage unit and extracts a random number corresponding to the winnings to the first start opening 41 this time. The extracted random number is stored as a new first special figure start memory, and if the upper limit number of times of the hold is reached, the random number extraction for the current first start opening 41 and the first special figure start memory are stored. The memory is not executed and the execution of the first special figure variation display game is not newly suspended. Furthermore, it functions as a prior result determination means, and determines the stored random number (first special figure starting storage) before the execution of the first special figure variation display game based on the random number. Information on the result mode ("big hit" or "losing") and the execution mode (reach effect) of the first special figure fluctuation display game is generated, a pre-determination command is generated based on the acquired information, and the effect control device 295 (See FIG. 70).

  When the game ball wins the second start port 42, the game control device 280 determines whether or not the second special figure start memory is stored up to the second special figure holding upper limit number, in other words, the game ball is the second It is determined whether or not the number of execution suspensions of the second special figure variable display game that has won the start opening 42 but has not yet been processed (standby for execution) has reached the maximum number of suspensions (for example, four). If the number of execution suspensions of the second special figure variation display game has not reached the upper limit number of suspensions, it functions as a start winning storage means and extracts a random number corresponding to a winning amount to the second start opening 42 this time. The extracted random number is stored as a new second special figure start memory, and if the upper limit number of times of the hold has been reached, the random number extraction for the winning of the current second start port 42 or the second special figure start memory is stored. The memory is not executed and the execution of the second special figure variation display game is not newly suspended. Furthermore, it functions as a prior result determination means, and determines the stored random number (second special figure start memory) before the execution of the second special figure variation display game based on the random number. Information on the result mode ("big hit" or "losing") and execution mode (reach effect) of the second special figure variation display game is acquired, and a preliminary determination command is generated based on the acquired information. Transmit (see FIG. 70).

  And if the game control apparatus 280 memorize | stores special figure start memory (1st special figure start memory, 2nd special figure start memory), the production | presentation control apparatus 295 will function as a start memory display means, and will be the 1st memory | storage display part. Control for displaying the first special figure start memory display m1 in the same number as the number of the first special figure start memory in 501 and the second special figure start memory display m2 in the second memory display unit 502 Control is performed to display the same number as the number of memories stored. In this control, the production control device 295 functions as the first display mode control means, and based on the random number determination result (preliminary determination command) determined by the game control device 280, the first special figure start memory display m1 and The aspect of the prior effect in the second special figure start memory display m2 is determined. Specifically, referring to a pre-production distribution table stored in advance in a part of the production control device 295, it is displayed in a specific display mode (a circle with a filled inner side), or a normal display different from the specific display mode. Or display in a form (a circle that does not fill the inside).

  Here, as the specific display mode, as shown in FIG. 58, a plurality of types (three types in the present embodiment) are set with different fill colors. When the fill color is “blue”, the expectation that the result mode of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” (when the special figure start memory display m appears in the specific display mode, the special figure The probability that the result mode of the variable display game will be “big hit”, in other words, the reliability of the prefetching noticed as “big hit” is set to be the lowest among a plurality of types. In addition, when the fill color is “red”, the expectation that the result form of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” is set to the highest among a plurality of types, and the fill color is “yellow”. In some cases, the degree of expectation that the result mode of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” is set to an intermediate level lower than “red” and higher than “blue”.

  Furthermore, the prior production distribution table is set by combining the prior production mode options corresponding to the contents of each reach production and the selection rate thereof. Then, in the effect control device 295, the game state ("" at the time of execution of the pre-effects, for each result mode ("big hit", "losing") that can occur in the special figure variation display game set to execute the pre-effects. Different pre-effect distribution tables are stored for each of “normal state” and “after big hit execution”). For example, in the pre-effects distribution table 1 shown in FIG. 59 (a), the game state at the time of execution of the pre-effects is determined in which the result mode of the special figure variation display game set to execute the pre-effects is determined to be “losing”. Is a table that is referred to when is in the “normal state”. If the reach effect is set to “SP2 reach” in the pre-effect distribution table 1, for example, the special figure start memory display m is expressed by an unfilled circle, and the normal display mode is “no change”. Is selected with a probability of 70%, “blue” is selected with a probability of 15% by filling the inside of the circle with blue, and “yellow” is selected with a probability of 15% and the inside of the circle is painted with yellow Is selected with a probability of 10%, and “red”, which fills the inside of the circle with red and has a specific display mode, is selected with a probability of 5%.

  In addition, in the pre-effect distribution table 2 shown in FIG. 59 (b), the result state of the special figure variation display game set to execute the pre-effect is determined as “big hit”, and the gaming state at the time of executing the pre-effect Is a table that is referred to when is in the “normal state”. If the reach effect is set to “SP2 reach” in the advance effect distribution table 2, the special figure start storage display m is expressed by a circle without filling and “normal” is set as the normal display mode. Is selected with a probability of 50%, “blue” is selected with a probability of 10% and the inside of the circle is painted in blue with a specific display mode, and “yellow” is selected with a probability of 10% with the inside of the circle painted in yellow Is selected with a probability of 10%, and “red”, which fills the inside of the circle with red and has a specific display mode, is selected with a probability of 30%.

  Further, the game control device 280 releases and digests one of the first special figure start memory and the second special figure start memory that are on hold from the one with the long holding period and digests the special figure start memory. The special figure variation display game is executed once every time. When the first special figure starting memory is digested and the first special figure fluctuation display game is executed, the result of the first special figure fluctuation display game (specifically, the first special figure fluctuation display is displayed on the first special symbol display). When the second special figure starting display memory is digested and the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed, the second special figure fluctuation display is displayed on the second special symbol display. The result of the game (specifically, a special symbol indicating the result mode of the second special figure variation display game) is displayed. If only the special figure start memory stored immediately before is stored, the special figure start memory just stored is canceled and the special figure variation display game is executed.

  Further, in the production control device 295, control for deleting the special figure start memory display m corresponding to the special figure start memory subjected to the digestion process (memory release) from the display unit 31a of the variable display device 31, and a digestion process (memory) A control for executing a decoration special figure fluctuation display game (fluctuation display of three pieces of identification information) corresponding to the released special figure start memory on the display unit 31a is executed. At this time, the game control device 280 functions as a variation display time setting means, selects a variation display time of the identification information from the variation pattern selection table based on the variation pattern random number, and further reaches reach in the decoration special figure variation display game. Select a production. Further, the effect control device 295 functions as a variable display game control means, and based on the variable display time and reach effect set (selected) by the game control device 280, the special figure variable display game (decorative display game within the variable display time). The execution mode of the figure variation display game) is controlled. If the selected reach effect is a preset mode, the result mode of the special figure variable display game being executed becomes a special result mode ("big hit") before the end of the variable display time. The special result mode notification (for example, the start of the display for temporarily stopping the three pieces of identification information in a state where the three pieces of identification information are arranged in the same pattern) is executed.

  When the result mode of the executed special figure variation display game is a mode in which the result mode indicates “losing”, the gaming state is set to the normal state, and the special winning opening 45 is maintained closed. On the other hand, when the result mode of the executed special figure variation display game becomes the special result mode (“big hit”), the game control device 280 functions as a special game state control means, which is advantageous to the player. When a special gaming state (a big hit state) is generated, the winning prize opening 45 is opened and closed to allow the game ball to enter the big winning opening 45, and if the game ball wins the big winning opening 45, the game value is given to the player. Award balls (game balls) are awarded. Further, the effect control device 295 functions as a second display mode control unit, and executes control (switching control) to switch and display the special figure start memory display m displayed in the specific display mode to the normal display mode. . In other words, the special figure variation display game based on the special figure start memory (preceding start memory) stored prior to the predetermined start memory (the special figure start memory in which the special figure start memory display m is displayed in the specific display mode). Switching control is executed on condition that the result mode becomes the special result mode. Further, when the switching control is executed, a switching notification effect (clear effect) is generated, and the display switching from the specific display mode of the special figure start memory display m to the normal display mode (in other words, the stop of the pre-staged effect being executed) is performed. Inform the player.

  Here, in the switching notification effect, a plurality of effect modes (three clear effect modes in the present embodiment) are set in advance (see FIGS. 60 and 61). In the clear effect pattern 1, a sound effect such as a plosive sound is generated at the timing when the special figure start memory display m of the specific display mode is switched to the normal display mode (see FIG. 60A). In the clear effect pattern 2, when the special figure start memory display m of the specific display mode is switched to the normal display mode, the inner painted portion is extracted from the special figure start memory display m and moved to the center part of the display unit 31a, and then ruptured. Then, an effect of disappearing is generated (see FIG. 60B). In the clear effect pattern 3, at the timing when the special figure start memory display m of the specific display mode is switched to the normal display mode, the inner filled portion is extracted from the special figure start memory display m and a sound effect such as a plosive sound is generated, and further the fill is further performed. After the portion moves to the central portion of the display unit 31a, an effect of rupturing and disappearing is generated (see FIG. 60C).

  Further, the effect mode of the switching notification effect is based on the result (“big hit”, “lost”) determined by the game control device 280 corresponding to the predetermined start memory (or the special figure start memory display m of the specific display mode). It is determined with reference to a clear effect distribution table stored in advance in part of the effect control device 295. Here, the effect control device 295 includes a result mode (“big hit”, “lost”) that can occur in a special map fluctuation display game (pre-effect target game) executed based on the special map start memory display m of the specific display mode. ") A different clear production distribution table is stored for each time. And in each clear production | presentation distribution table, the option of the production | presentation aspect (clear production | presentation aspect) of a switch alerting | reporting production | presentation and the selection rate are set combining corresponding to the state of a specific display aspect (preliminary production aspect).

  Specifically, the clear effect distribution table 1 illustrated in FIG. 62A is a table that is referred to when the result mode of the prior effect target game is determined to be “losing”. In the clear effect distribution table 1, for example, when the pre-effect is executed in the “yellow” mode, the clear effect mode of “pattern 1” is selected with a probability of 70%, and the “pattern 2” is cleared. The production mode is selected with a probability of 20%, and the clear production mode of “Pattern 3” is selected with a probability of 10%. Further, the clear effect distribution table 2 shown in FIG. 62B is a table that is referred to when the result mode of the pre-effect target game is determined to be “big hit”. As an example of the case where the preliminary effect is executed in the “yellow” mode in the clear effect distribution table 2, the clear effect mode of “pattern 1” is selected with a probability of 20%, and the “pattern 2” is cleared. The production mode is selected with a probability of 20%, and the clear production mode of “Pattern 3” is selected with a probability of 60%.

  In this way, when the result form of the special figure variation display game based on the special figure start memory (previous start memory) stored prior to the predetermined start memory becomes the special result form (big hit), the specific display Since the special drawing start memory display m of the mode is switched to the normal display mode and the preliminary presentation is cleared (execution of the preliminary presentation is stopped), the criteria for determining the execution mode of the special figure variation display game changes as the gaming state changes. (Specifically, even if the variation pattern selection table applied as the determination criterion for the execution mode of the special figure variation display game is different before and after the execution of the special figure variation display game), the pre-production is out of the current determination criterion. The inconvenience of notifying the execution mode of the contents can be avoided. In addition, since the switching notification effect is performed to notify the player of the display switching of the special figure start memory display m, it is part of the game effect that the special figure start memory display m is switched from the specific display mode to the normal display mode. Can be recognized by the player. Therefore, even if the display mode of the special figure start memory display m is switched to the normal memory display in the middle of the display, it is difficult for the player to feel uncomfortable.

  Furthermore, since the effect mode of the switching notification effect is determined based on the determination result of the random number corresponding to the predetermined start memory, the switch notification effect can be set to various effect modes according to the predetermined start memory. It can enhance interest. Further, if a special figure variation display game corresponding to a random number to be determined is notified as a special result aspect according to an effect aspect of the switching notification effect set based on the determination result, the special figure start memory is stored. Even if the display mode of the display m is switched, the discomfort and dissatisfaction experienced by the player can be reduced.

  Then, when the special game state is started by the game control device 280 functioning as the special game state control unit, the effect control device 295 that functions as the second display mode control unit executes the switch control to generate the switch notification effect. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 60, switching control may be executed to generate a switching notification effect between the start and end of the special gaming state. If the switching control is executed at the start of the special game state, the player can recognize from the start of the special game state that the special figure start memory display m is switched from the specific display mode to the normal display mode. Furthermore, if the change of the display mode of the special figure start memory display m is viewed as part of the start of the special game state effect, even if the change of the display mode of the special figure start memory display m is executed, it is difficult to feel uncomfortable. It is possible to concentrate on the game in the special game state. Further, if switching control is executed between the start and end of the special game state, the degree of freedom in switching the display mode of the special figure start memory display m can be increased. If the effect display in the special game state and the switching of the display mode of the special figure start memory display m are executed in cooperation, it can be expected that the effect of the effect in the special game state is improved.

  Further, when the special result mode notification is executed before the variation display (time) of the identification information is finished, the effect control device 295 functioning as the second display mode control means changes from the execution of the special result mode notification. The switching notification effect may be generated by executing the switching control until the end of the display time. If such control is executed, the effect after executing the special result mode notification in the special figure variation display game (for example, whether or not a lottery effect on whether or not a certain change occurs is performed) Display effects), special result blessing effects, etc.) and switching of the display mode of the start memory display can be displayed in cooperation, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced.

  Next, control for realizing the switching of the display mode of the special figure start memory display m and the display of the switching notification effect will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. First, as shown in FIGS. 63 and 64, the main process executed in the game control device 280 when the power is turned on to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed at a predetermined time period (for example, a period of 4 milliseconds). Processing for prohibiting timer interrupts (S1), interrupt vector setting processing for setting a jump destination vector address to be executed when an interrupt occurs (S2), stack of areas for saving values of registers and the like when an interrupt occurs A stack pointer setting process (S3) for setting a pointer and an interrupt mode setting process (S4) for setting an interrupt processing mode are performed. Thereafter, a waiting (for example, waiting for 4 ms) is waited for the normal activation of the program of the payout control device 296 (S5), and access to a readable / writable RWM (read / write memory) such as RAM or EEPROM is permitted ( In step S6, all ports of the output unit are set to off (no output) (S7), and processing for setting a serial port is performed (S8).

  Further, it is determined whether or not the initialization switch provided in the power supply device 290 is ON (S9). If it is determined that the initialization switch is not ON, the value of the power failure inspection area 1 in the RWM is determined. Is the normal power failure inspection area check data 1 (S10, S11). If the value of the power failure inspection area 1 is normal, the power failure inspection area check data in the RWM is normal. 2 is checked (S12, S13), and if the value of the power failure check area 2 is normal, the checksum is determined to determine whether the data stored in the RWM is normal. Check whether it is normal. Specifically, the checksum of the area in the RWM is calculated (S14), and it is determined whether or not the calculated checksum matches the checksum stored in the RWM when a power failure occurs. (S15, S16). When it is determined that the checksum is normal, that is, when it is determined that the data stored in the RWM is normal, all power failure inspection areas and checksum areas are cleared (S17, S18). ), The area related to error and fraud monitoring is reset (S19). Also, by checking the storage area of the game state in the RWM, the game state is a high probability state (specifically, the state in which the probability that the result mode of the special figure variation display game will be a big hit is set higher than the normal game progress state) ) (S20), if it is determined that the state is a high probability state, the ON information is saved in the high probability notification flag area (S21), and the high probability provided in the collective display device 49 is determined. The ON data for turning on the notification LED is set in the segment area (S22). If it is determined in step S20 that the state is not a high probability state, or if preparation is made to turn on the high probability notification LED in step S22, the special game process described later is prepared to be executed rationally. The command at the time of power failure restoration corresponding to the processed number is transmitted to the effect control device 295 (S23).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S9 that the initialization switch is ON, if it is determined in steps S11 and S13 that the value of the power failure inspection area is abnormal, or if the checksum is abnormal in step S16. If it is determined that the area is to be initialized, clear all work areas before the access prohibited area (S24) and clear all stack areas after the access prohibited area (S25). The initial value at the time of input is saved (S26). Then, the output timer initial value of the external information (security signal) related to RWM clear is saved in the security signal control timer area (S27), and a command at power-on is transmitted to the effect control device 295 (S28).

  Then, after transmitting the power failure recovery command to the effect control device 295 in step S23 or after transmitting the power-on command to the effect control device 295 in step S28, the timer interrupt signal and the random number update trigger signal are transmitted. The CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit) circuit that generates the signal is activated (S29), and the random number generation circuit is activated and set (S30). Furthermore, the value of the soft random number register in the random number generation circuit at the time of power-on is extracted and various initial value random numbers (initial values of random numbers that determine the big hit symbol in the special figure variation display game, or the winning symbol in the normal figure variation display game (Initial value of random number for determining the initial value) is saved in the RWM (S31), the interruption prohibited in step S1 is permitted (S32), and the initial value for breaking the regularity of the random number by updating the values of various initial value random numbers Value random number update processing is performed (S33).

  If the initial value random number update process is executed in step S33, in order to determine whether or not a power failure has occurred, the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply device 290 is read and checked via the port and the data bus. The number of times is set (S34), and it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal is ON (S35). If the power failure monitoring signal is not ON, that is, if it is determined that a power failure has not occurred, the process returns to step S33, the initial value random number update process (S33), and the setting of the number of times of power failure monitoring signal check (S34). Then, the power failure monitoring signal determination (S35) is repeated. On the other hand, if the power failure monitoring signal is ON, it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal is in the ON state for the number of checks set in step S34 (S36). If the power failure monitoring signal has not been turned on for the number of checks, the process returns to step S35 to execute the power failure monitoring signal determination again, and the power failure monitoring signal has been turned on for the number of checks. If it is determined that a power failure has occurred, a process of temporarily prohibiting interruption (step S37) and a process of outputting OFF data to all output ports (step S38) are performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure inspection area check data in each power failure inspection area (S39, S40) and the process of calculating the RWM checksum when the power is turned off (S41), the checksum is saved (S42). After performing the process of prohibiting access to the RWM (S43), the system waits until the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is shut off.

  In addition, the game control device 280 executes the timer interrupt process at every predetermined time period when the timer interrupt is permitted in the main process. The timer interrupt process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 65. First, a value stored in a predetermined register is transferred to the RWM to perform a register saving process (S51), and various sensors (first start port switch) 283, second start port switch 284, gate switch 285, etc.) input processing (S52), solenoids based on output data set in various processing (large winning port solenoid 297, general electric solenoid 298) An output process (S53) for driving and controlling the actuator is performed.

  Next, command transmission processing (S54), random number update processing 1 (S55), and random number update processing 2 (S56) for outputting commands set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the production control device 295, the payout control device 296, etc. Do. Thereafter, it is monitored whether or not a normal signal is input from a game ball detection sensor such as the first start port switch 283, the second start port switch 284, the winning port switch 286, and the front frame 3 or the transparent member holding frame. A prize opening switch / error monitoring process (S57) for monitoring errors such as whether 8 is open is performed. Also, a special figure game process (S58) for performing a process related to the special figure fluctuation display game and a general figure game process (S59) for carrying out a process relating to the normal figure fluctuation display game are performed.

  When the processing of each variable display game is executed, the segment LED editing process (S60) for editing the display content of each variable display game and the display content of various information on the game in the collective display device 49, the magnetic sensor switch 226, and the vibration sensor A magnetic error monitoring process (S61) for checking the detection signal from the switch 227 to determine whether there is an abnormality, and an external information editing process (S62) for setting a signal to be output to various external devices in the output buffer. Then, the interrupt request is cleared and the end of the interrupt is declared (S63), the register data saved in step S51 is restored (S64), the interrupt is permitted (S65), and the timer interrupt process is terminated.

  In the special figure game process (S58) performed in the timer interruption process, the input signals from the first start port switch 283 and the second start port switch 284 are monitored, the entire process related to the special figure variation display game is controlled, and the special symbol. Set the display of. Specifically, based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 66, first, detection of game balls of the first start port switch 283 and the second start port switch 284 (in other words, to the first start port 41 or the second start port 42). The start switch monitoring process (S71) for monitoring the winning prize) and the count switch for monitoring the detection of the game ball of the count switch 287 provided in the big winning opening 45 (in other words, winning the winning prize 45). A monitoring process (S72) is executed. The starter switch monitoring process will be described later in detail.

  Next, the special figure game process timer is updated (-1), and it is checked whether the game process timer has already expired or whether it has expired after -1 update (S73, S74). If it is determined that the special figure game process timer has expired, a process for setting a special figure game sequence branch table to be referred to for branching to the process corresponding to the special figure game process number is executed (S75). The branch destination address of the process corresponding to the special figure game process number is acquired (S76). Then, after performing the process of saving the return address after the branch process to the stack area (S77), the game branch process is performed according to the game process number (S78).

  Specifically, when the game process number is “0”, the change start of the special figure change display game is monitored, the change start setting of the special figure change display game, the setting of the effect, and the special figure change process A special figure normal process (S79) for setting information necessary for performing the game is performed, and when the game process number is “1”, a special figure stop display time setting or a special figure display process is performed. A special figure changing process (S80) for setting information necessary for the execution is performed. When the game process number is “2”, the game result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit. Therefore, the fanfare command setting corresponding to the type of the big hit and the big winning opening 45 in each big hit state are set. A special chart display process (S81) is performed for setting the fanfare time according to the release pattern and setting information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process.

  Further, when the game process number is “3”, the fanfare / interval for setting the opening time of the big prize opening 45, updating the number of times of opening, setting information necessary for performing the processing during the big prize opening opening, etc. When the middle processing (S82) is performed and the game processing number is "4", processing for setting an interval command or a jackpot end screen command, setting of information necessary for performing the winning ball remaining ball processing, etc. A special winning opening opening process (S83) is performed. When the game process number is “5”, it is necessary to set a time for discharging the remaining balls in the big winning opening 45 at the end of the big hit state and to perform the big hit end process. The special winning opening remaining ball process (S84) for setting various information is performed. If the game process number is "6", the necessary information setting for performing the special figure routine process (S79) is performed. A big hit end process (S85) is performed.

  After executing the game branching process in this way, or after determining that the special figure game process timer has not timed out in step S74, a table for controlling the variable display of the first special symbol display Is prepared (S86), and the symbol variation control process related to the first special symbol display is performed (S87). Further, a table for controlling the variation of the second special symbol display is prepared (S88), and the symbol variation control process related to the second special symbol display is performed (S89).

Next, the start port switch monitoring process (S71) executed during the special figure game process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the start port switch monitoring process, first, a table for setting information on hold by the first start port 41 is prepared (S91), and then a special figure start port switch common process (S92) is performed. Note that the special figure start port switch common process will be described later in detail. Next, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 42a is in operation, that is, whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 42a is open and the game ball is likely to win the second starting port 42 (S93). When it is determined that the ordinary electric accessory 42a is not in operation, it is determined whether or not the number of fraudulent winnings to the second start port 42 is equal to or greater than the number of fraud determination (S94, S95).

  If it is determined in step S95 that the number of fraudulent winnings is not greater than or equal to the number of fraud determinations, or if it is determined in step S93 that the ordinary electric accessory 42a is in operation, information on hold by the second start port 42 is stored. Is prepared (S96), after which a special-purpose start-port switch common process (S97) is performed, and the start-port switch monitoring process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S95 that the number of fraudulent winnings is equal to or greater than the number of fraud determinations, the start port switch monitoring process is terminated without executing steps S96 and S97, and the second starting port 42 is awarded. Do not prepare for the production based on.

Next, the special-purpose start port switch common process (S92, S97) executed during the start port switch monitoring process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the special figure starting port switch common processing, first, it is checked whether or not there is an input to the monitoring target starting port switch among the first starting port switch 283 and the second starting port switch 284 (S101, S102). If there is no input to the target start port switch, the special-purpose start port switch common process is terminated. On the other hand, if there is an input, the start opening winning flag of the start port switch to be monitored is saved (S103), and information regarding the number of winnings to the start opening switch to be monitored is provided outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. The number of times output to the management device (not shown) (the number of times the start port signal is output) is loaded (S104), and the loaded value is updated (+1) to determine whether the number of outputs overflows. Check (S105, S106). If the number of outputs does not overflow as a result of this check, the updated value is saved in the start signal output number area of the RWM of the game control device 280 (S107). Then, after the updated value is saved in the start port signal output count area, or when the output count overflows in step S106, the update target special figure hold count (special number corresponding to the monitored start port switch) It is checked whether or not the stored number of figure start memory is less than the upper limit value (S108, S109). If the result of this check is that the special figure hold number is greater than or equal to the upper limit value, the special figure start port switch common processing is performed. finish.

  On the other hand, if the number of special figure hold is less than the upper limit value, after performing the process of updating (+1) the number of special figure hold to be updated (S110), the number of decorative special figure hold of the monitoring target start switch A command (MODE) preparation (S111) and a decoration special figure hold number command (ACTION) preparation (S112) corresponding to the special figure hold number are executed (S113), and command setting processing is performed (S113). Further, the address of the random number save area corresponding to the special figure hold number is calculated (S114), the big hit random number is extracted and prepared (S115), and the big hit random number is saved in the big hit random number save area of the RWM (S116). Next, the jackpot symbol random number of the starter switch to be monitored is extracted and prepared (S117), and this jackpot symbol random number is saved in the jackpot symbol random number saving area of the RWM (S118). Further, the fluctuation pattern random numbers (variation pattern random numbers 1 to 3) for determining the fluctuation pattern in the special figure fluctuation display game are extracted and saved in the random number saving area set in the RWM corresponding to each fluctuation pattern random number. (S119 to S121), a special figure hold information determination process is executed (S122). Note that the variation pattern random number 1 is a random number for selecting a reach production system in the latter half of the decoration special figure variation display game, and the variation pattern random number 2 performs a detailed distribution of the production from the reach production system. The variation pattern random number 3 is a random number for selecting the first half effect (the effect before the occurrence of reach) of the decorative special figure variation display game.

  If the special figure hold information determination process is executed in step S122, the start opening prize flag to be monitored is loaded as a change order flag to set the start order of the special figure change display game (S123), and the first special figure start is started. Corresponds to the sum of the number of the first special figure hold (the number of special figure 1 hold) that is the number of memories stored and the number of the second special figure hold (the number of special figure 2 holds) that is the number of the second special figure start memory The address of the change order flag saving area to be calculated is calculated (S124), the change order flag is saved in the change order flag saving area (S125), and the special figure start port switch common process is terminated.

Next, the special figure hold information determination process (S122) executed during the special figure start port switch common process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the special figure hold information determination process, first, a big hit determination process is performed (S131), and the big hit random number extracted in step S115 of the special figure start port switch common process is a big hit determination value (predetermined game result determination condition). ) Is determined according to whether or not it is a big hit (S132). If it is determined that the game is a big hit, after setting the big hit symbol random number check table corresponding to the start switch to be determined (S133), the big hit symbol random number is checked and the corresponding big hit information table is acquired. If it is determined that it is not a big hit, a loss information table is set (S135).

  If either the jackpot information table or the loss information table is set in steps S134 and S135, the symbol information is acquired from the information table (losing information table, jackpot information table) set in step S134 or step S135, and the symbol information is obtained. Is saved in the symbol information (work) area for work of the RWM (S136). Subsequently, the start opening winning effect design command is acquired from the information table set in step S134 or step S135, and the starting opening winning effect design command is saved in the winning effect design command area of the RWM (S137). Next, preparation of a start opening prize flag for a start opening switch to be monitored (either the first start opening switch 283 or the second start opening switch 284) (S138) and preparation of a start opening prize effect command setting table (S139) Is executed, special figure information setting processing (S140) for setting special figure information set for the monitoring target starting port (either the first starting port 41 or the second starting port 42) is performed.

  Further, the latter half variation pattern setting process (S141) for setting the latter half variation pattern in the execution mode of the special map variation display game (specifically, the variation mode of the identification information in the decoration special map variation display game), the decoration special map variation display game. A variation pattern setting process (S142) for setting the execution mode (variation mode) is performed, and a start opening winning effect command (MODE) corresponding to the first variation number of the set variation pattern is calculated and prepared (S143) Then, the value of the second half variation number is prepared as a start opening winning effect command (ACTION) (S144), and a command setting process (S145) is performed. Then, the start opening winning effect command command is loaded and prepared from the winning effect symbol command area (S146), the command setting process (S147) is performed, and the special figure holding information determination process is terminated.

  As shown in FIG. 70, when the game control device 280 detects a winning to the start port to be monitored, the special figure hold number command prepared in steps S111 and S112 of the special view start port switch common process, Commands are transmitted to the effect control device 295 in the order of the start opening winning effect command prepared in steps S143 and S144 of the special figure hold information determination process and the starting opening winning effect symbol command prepared in step S146. Further, the start opening prize effect command and the start opening prize effect symbol command function as a pre-determination command used for determining whether or not to execute the pre-effect, and as shown in FIG. A plurality of settings are set in advance corresponding to the contents of the game result mode. Specifically, in the start opening prize winning design command, contents indicating that the result mode of the pending special figure fluctuation display game is “losing”, “15R normal big hit”, “15R probability big hit” is set. In the start opening prize directing command, the result mode of the pending special map variation display game and the execution mode (reach production) of the decorative special map variation display game are “Lose / N reach or less” or “Big hit / SP reach 3”. Contents indicating that the combination is set.

Next, the special figure routine process (S79) executed during the special figure game process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the special figure routine processing, first, it is checked whether or not the number of special figure hold (the number of first special figure hold and the number of second special figure hold) is 0 (S151, S152). If so, it is checked whether or not a customer waiting demo has already been started (S153, S154). If the customer waiting demo has not been started, processing for setting the customer waiting demo flag during the customer waiting demo (S155), preparation of the customer waiting demo command (S156) is executed, and command setting processing (S157) is performed. Then, after executing the command setting process, or when it is determined in step S154 that the customer waiting demonstration has already started, the special figure game process executes the special figure normal process again after the special figure normal process ends. A setting process is performed (S158), and the special figure routine process is terminated.

  Further, when the special figure hold number is not 0 in step S152 (when at least one of the first special figure hold number and the second special figure hold number is not 0), in step S125 of the special figure start port switch common process. The change order flag saved in the change order flag save area of the RWM is loaded (S159), and it is checked whether or not the loaded change order flag is a flag indicating the start of change of the first special figure change display game (S159). S160, S161). If the result of the check indicates the start of change in the first special figure change display game, the special figure is changing in the special figure game process after the special figure 1 change start process (S162) and the special figure normal process are completed. A setting process (S163) that shifts to the process (S80) is performed, and the special figure routine process is terminated. On the other hand, when it does not indicate the start of change of the first special figure fluctuation display game, that is, when the flag indicates the start of fluctuation of the second special figure fluctuation display game, the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S164), and After the normal process, the setting process (S165) for shifting to the special figure changing process (S80) in the special game process is performed, and the special figure normal process is terminated.

  It should be noted that in the game area 25, a configuration that makes it easy for a game ball launched with the launch force set to the maximum to win the normal start gate 36 (for example, the normal start gate 36 is arranged on the right side of the game area 25, In the case of adopting a configuration in which the shooting ball guide path 26 is arranged on the left side of the game area 25, as shown in FIG. 72 (b), after executing the command setting process (S157), the special figure normal process transition setting is performed. Until the process (S158) is executed, a process for setting a warning of the game ball firing state may be executed. Specifically, after the command setting process (S157) is executed, the normal power support state in which the gaming state can occur as the “after big hit state” (the probability of winning in the normal fluctuation display game is increased, and the normal fluctuation By reducing the display time of the display game, it is determined whether or not the normal electric accessory 42a is frequently opened and closed to make it easy to win a game ball at the second start opening 42 (S166). If it is in the ordinary power support state, the process proceeds to step S158. If not in the ordinary power support state, the display number for turning off the right-handed warning LED is saved in the gaming state display number area (S167), and then the process proceeds to step S158. It may be set to.

Next, the 1st main process performed by the 1st CPU (main control microcomputer) of the effect control device 295 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the first main process of the effect control device 295, first, interruption is prohibited (S171), the RAM is cleared to 0 (S172), and a CPU initialization process (S173) for initializing the CPU is performed. Further, an initial value of the RAM is set (S174), random number initialization processing for initializing random numbers is performed (S175), timers for various interrupts are started (S176), and interrupts are permitted (S177). If interrupt is permitted, loop processing is performed. In the loop processing, first, WDT (Watchdog Timer) is cleared (S178), and effect button input processing for creating input information from an input signal (rising edge) based on the operation of the game effect button 18 is performed (S179). Control command analysis processing is performed (S180). In this game control command analysis process (S180), it is determined whether or not a command related to the game transmitted from the game control device 280 has been correctly received. Processing to classify commands for.

  If the game control command analysis process is performed in step S180, a process related to a test mode for testing the variable display device 31, the decoration devices 300 and 301, the rendering devices 54 and 302, and the like is performed (S181). When the test mode is set to the test mode by this test mode process (S181), the subsequent game-related processes are not executed. However, in the test mode, the display of the variable display device 31, the output of sound from the speakers 15, 21 and the decoration device 300, When performing the light emission of the LED 301, the operation of the rendering devices 54 and 302, etc., control is performed in the process for controlling them. Note that the test mode ends when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is cut off.

  If the test mode process is executed in step S181, the first scene control process (S182) relating to the control of the game effect, based on the error notification command transmitted from the game control device 280 when an error occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Game machine error monitoring process (S183) for performing notification, effect command editing process (S184) for editing a command to be output to the 2nd CPU (video control microcomputer) of the effect control device 295, and sound for performing control related to output of sound from the speaker Control processing (S185), decoration control processing (S186) for performing light emission control of the board decoration device 300 and the frame decoration device 301, motor / SOL control processing for controlling the motors and solenoids of the board presentation device 44 and the frame presentation device 302 ( S187), an execution mode (variation mode) of the decoration special figure variation display game It performs random number update processing (S188) to update the random number to determine the details of the returns to the process (S178) to clear the WDT.

Next, the 1st scene control process (S182) executed during the 1st main process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the 1st scene control process, it is first determined whether or not the test mode is in effect (S191). If the test mode is in effect, the 1st scene control process is immediately terminated. Is determined (S192). The scene change command includes various commands related to the game (power-on command, power failure recovery command, customer waiting demo command, variation pattern command, symbol stop command, jackpot / small) transmitted from the game control device 280 to the effect control device 295. Hit fanfare command, big-open-release n-th command, interval command, big hit / small hit ending command, etc.). If it is determined in step S192 that a scene change command has been received, the gaming state to be updated is acquired (S193), and it is determined whether the received scene change command is valid for the acquired gaming state ( S194). If it is a valid command, the received command is saved (S195), and an effect request flag indicating that it is time to change the scene is set (S196).

  After setting the effect request flag in step S196, or when the scene change command is not received in step S192, or when it is determined that the command is not valid in step S194, the latest valid Branch processing based on the command identifier of the command is performed (S197), and processing to be executed based on the received command is selected. Specifically, when a power-on command is received, a power-on process is performed to perform necessary processing when the power is turned on (S198). When a power failure recovery command is received, a power failure recovery is performed to perform necessary processing when the power is restored. Processing (other than customer waiting) is performed (S199). When a customer waiting demo command is received, processing for waiting for a customer waiting demo is performed (S200). A changing process for performing a process related to the execution of the figure changing display game is performed (S201). In addition, when a symbol stop command is received, a symbol stop process, which is a process of stopping the variation display of the identification information in the decorative special symbol variation display game and displaying the result mode, is performed (S202), and the fanfare command is received. In this case, a fanfare process that is a process related to the start of the special game state is performed (S203), and when a big-open / release n-th command is received, an in-round process that is a process related to a round game executed in the big hit state is performed. Perform (S204). Further, when an interval command is received, an interval process that is a process related to an interval between rounds is performed (S205). When an ending command is received, an ending process that is a process related to the end of the special gaming state is performed (S205). S206).

  In the changing process executed in step S201, setting of information necessary for playing the decoration special figure changing display game, for example, information included in the changing pattern command transmitted from the game control device 280 (whether it is a big hit or not) Or setting of effects (variation pattern, variation time, etc.) based on mode information, variation pattern information, etc.). Further, in the symbol stop process executed in step S202, settings such as a process for stopping the identification information in the decorative special figure variation display game are performed.

  If each of the above-described processes selected by the branch process in step S197 is performed, a process based on a command that is not immediately reflected in the video is performed. Specifically, a symbol command reception process (S207) executed based on a decoration special symbol command including information related to a stop symbol of the special symbol variable display game (S207), a hold number command including information regarding increase / decrease of the special symbol start memory (the first command) Based on a hold number command reception process (S208) executed based on a 1 special figure hold number command, a second special figure hold number command), and a prior determination command (start opening prize effect command, start opening prize effect symbol command) Preliminary effect setting process (S209) executed, probability information command reception process (S210) executed based on a probability information command (falling information command, probability information command (low probability, high probability)) including information on the probability state I do. In the hold number command reception process executed in step S208, the hold number command transmitted at the time of starting winning and at the start of fluctuation is received, and the hold memory number is updated (increase / decrease) by the hold number command. In the probability information command reception process executed in step 210, a value corresponding to the probability information command is internally set and a background command is transmitted to the 2nd CPU of the effect control device 295.

Next, the prior effect setting process (S209) executed during the 1st scene control process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the pre-effect setting process, first, it is checked whether or not there is a special figure start memory waiting for reception of the pre-judgment command (in other words, a special figure start memory that has not received the pre-judgment command corresponding to the hold number command). (S211, S212) If there is a corresponding special figure start memory, it is determined whether or not a prior determination command has been received (S213). If the advance determination command has not been received, or if there is no corresponding special figure start memory in step S212, the advance effect setting process is immediately terminated. If it is determined in step S213 that a pre-determination command has been received, the contents of the pre-determination command are saved in the start storage area corresponding to the pre-determination command (S214), and a start winning opening effect design command (see FIG. 71). ) To obtain the symbol information of the special figure start memory and the result mode of the special figure variation display game (S215).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the result mode acquired in step S215 is “losing” (S216). If it is “losing”, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a general power support state. Determination is made (S217). If it is in the ordinary power support state, the prior effect distribution table 3 is set (S218). If it is not in the ordinary power support state, the prior effect distribution table 1 (see FIG. 59 (a)) is set. (S219). If it is not “losing” in step S216, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the ordinary power support state (S220). If it is in the ordinary power support state, the prior effect distribution table 4 is set (S221), and if not in the ordinary power support state, the prior effect distribution table 2 (see FIG. 59 (b)) is set. (S222). If the pre-effect distribution table is set in steps S218, S219, S221, and S222, the reach system information (reach effect information) of the start memory is acquired from the start opening winning effect command (S223), and the set pre-effect is set. A pre-effect mode (specific display mode) is selected from the distribution table and the reach system information acquired in step S223 (S224), and the pre-effect mode selected in step S224 with respect to the target special figure start memory. Is set (S225), and the preliminary effect setting process is terminated.

  In addition to the confirmation of the special figure start memory in step S212, it is determined whether or not a condition for executing a prior effect (for example, special figure start memory held in a state other than the “big hit state”) is satisfied. If it is determined and not satisfied, the pre-effect setting process may be set to end immediately.

Next, the clear effect setting process (switch notification effect setting process) executed during the round process (S204) in the 1st scene control process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the clear effect setting process, first, it is checked whether or not there is a special figure start memory display m (in other words, a special figure start memory display m displayed in a specific display mode) on which a prior effect has been executed (S231, S232), if there is no special figure start memory display m of the specific display mode, the clear effect setting process is immediately terminated. On the other hand, if there is the special figure start memory display m of the specific display mode, the mode of the pre-presentation being executed is confirmed (S233), and the start opening prize effect symbol stored corresponding to the corresponding special figure start memory is stored. The command is confirmed (S234, S235), and if the result of the confirmation is that the start opening winning prize design command indicates “losing”, the clear effect distribution table 1 is set (S236), and the contents indicating other than “losing” If it is (contents indicating “big hit”), the clear effect distribution table 2 is set (S237). If the clear effect distribution table is set in steps S236 and S237, the clear effect mode is selected with reference to the set clear effect distribution table and the prior effect mode (S238), and the clear effect of the selected mode is selected. Is set (S239), and the clear effect setting process is terminated. Note that the clear effect setting process may be executed in the fanfare process (S203) so that the clear effect (switch notification effect) is displayed when the big hit state is started. In addition, when the clear effect setting process is executed in the round process (S204), the clear effect is displayed again in the lottery effect display (during the next special figure variation display game after the big hit state is finished). May be displayed together with a notice of whether or not the probability becomes a high probability), and the clear effect may appear as if it is a part of the lottery effect.

  By the way, when a plurality of special figure start memory displays m in a specific display mode are displayed, a plurality of switching notification effects different from the switching notification effects shown in FIG. 61 may be generated. For example, in the clear effect pattern 7 shown in FIGS. 77 (d) and 78, the effect control device 295 functioning as the second display mode control means is not executed at the time of switching the display of the single special figure start memory display m. Switching notification effect (specifically, the painted portion extracted from the special chart start memory display m is transformed into a notification effect image such as a character while moving, and a message such as “congratulations” is displayed along with the notification effect image after deformation. Display effect). When a plurality of special figure start memory displays m are respectively switched to the normal display mode and a plurality of switching notification effects different from the switching notification effects are generated, there are a plurality of special figure start memory displays m displayed in the specific display mode. However, the display mode can be switched collectively. If a plurality of special figure start memory displays m are simultaneously switched, the switching can be quickly completed.

  In addition, as an effect mode that can be executed when a plurality of special figure start memory displays m in a specific display mode are displayed, the switch notification effect shown in FIG. 61 is applied to each special figure start memory display m and executed. Is set as an option. Specifically, in the clear effect pattern 4, a sound effect such as a plosive sound is generated at the timing of switching each special figure start memory display m of the specific display mode to the normal display mode (see FIG. 77 (a)). In the clear effect pattern 5, when the special drawing start memory display m of the specific display mode is switched to the normal display mode, the inner filled portion is extracted from the special drawing start memory display m and moved to the central portion of the display unit 31a, and then ruptured. Then, an effect of disappearing is generated (see FIG. 77 (b)). In the clear effect pattern 6, at the timing when each special figure start memory display m in the specific display mode is switched to the normal display mode, the inner painted portion is extracted from each special figure start memory display m and a sound effect such as a plosive sound is generated. Further, an effect is produced in which the filled portion to be written bursts and disappears after moving to the central portion of the display portion 31a (see FIG. 77 (c)).

  And the clear production | presentation setting process performed when the special figure start memory | storage display m of a specific display mode is displayed in multiple numbers, basically displays one special figure start memory | storage display m of a specific display mode. This is the same as the clear effect setting process (see FIG. 76) in the case of being, but the process from the execution of step S232 to the execution of step S233 is different. Specifically, based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 79, if it is determined in step S232 that there is a special display start memory display m in the specific display mode, a plurality of special display start storage displays m in the specific display mode are displayed. It is determined whether or not a plurality of items are displayed (step S241). If a plurality of items are not displayed (if only one item is displayed), step S233 is executed. Is executed (S242), and the clear effect setting process is terminated.

  The relevant memory multi-time process (S242) executed during the clear effect setting process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 80. First, it is executed in each special figure start memory display m of the specific display mode. While confirming each pre-production mode (each specific display mode) (S251), the start opening prize design command stored in correspondence with the corresponding special chart start memory is checked (S234, S235). If the plurality of confirmation results indicate “big hit”, the multiple switching notification effect set in the clear effect pattern 7 is generated when switching from the specific display mode of the special figure start memory display m to the normal display mode. Is selected (S254), and if a plurality of contents indicating “big hit” are not confirmed (only one “big hit” is confirmed), all the confirmation results are “lost”. Determines whether the content representing (S255). If all the contents indicate “losing”, the clear effect distribution table 3 shown in FIG. 81A is set (S256). If all the contents are not indicating “losing”, FIG. The clear effect distribution table 4 shown in 81 (b) is set (S257).

  If the clear effect distribution table 3 or the clear effect distribution table 4 is set in steps S256 and S257, the clear effect mode is selected with reference to the set clear effect distribution table and the pre-effect mode (S258). Here, when the special figure start memory display m is displayed separately in different specific display modes (pre-effect modes), the degree of expectation of “big hit” among the displayed specific display modes (see FIG. 58). The specific display mode defined as the highest is applied as the selection criterion for the clear performance mode. Specifically, when the special figure start memory display m is separately displayed in a specific display mode of “blue”, “yellow”, and “red”, “red” with the highest expectation of “big hit” is cleared. As a selection criterion for the production mode, reference is made to options and selection rates in the case of “red” in the clear production distribution table. Furthermore, if the clear effect mode (the effect mode of the switching notification effect or the multiple switching notification effect) is selected in step S258 or step S254, the start of execution of the clear effect of the selected mode (display of the switch notification effect) (Start) is set (S259), and the clear effect setting process is terminated.

  Even when a plurality of special figure start memory displays m in a specific display mode are displayed, switching is performed when a special game state (a big hit state) is started by the game control device 280 functioning as a special game state control means. The control may be executed to generate a switching notification effect or a plurality of switching notification effects, or the switching control may be executed and the switching notification effect or a plurality of switchings between the start and end of the special gaming state. A notification effect may be generated. Further, when a switching notification effect or a plurality of switching notification effects are generated between the start and end of the special game state, display switching of all the special figure start memory displays m is executed during execution of one round game. Alternatively, display switching of one special figure start memory display m is executed every time a round game is executed, and display switching of a plurality of special figure start memory displays m is completed after execution of a plurality of round games. You may set as follows.

  By the way, in the embodiment related to the control invention (the first control embodiment), the storage is canceled and digested one by one from the first special figure starting memory and the second special figure starting memory that are held, which have a long holding period. However, the present control invention is not limited to this. For example, the second special figure start memory may be digested in preference to the first special figure start memory. The special figure starting port switch common process of the second control embodiment for realizing this priority digestion is basically the same as the special figure starting port switch common process (see FIG. 68) of the first control embodiment. Processing from execution of step S103 to execution of step S104, processing after execution of step S109, processing from execution of step S114 to execution of step S116, special processing after execution of step S122 The processing until the start port switch common processing ends is different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 82, after execution of step S103, the big hit random number extracted in the target hard random number latch register is loaded and prepared (S261). If the big hit random number is prepared, step S104 is performed. Execute. Further, after step S114 is executed, step S116 is executed immediately without extracting and preparing the big hit random number. Further, if the number of special figure hold is greater than or equal to the upper limit value in step S109, it is determined whether or not the input checked in step S102 is an input to the first start port switch (S262, S263), If it is not input to the first start port switch, the special figure start port switch common processing is immediately terminated, and if it is input to the first start port switch, the decorative special figure hold number command (hold overflow command) Is prepared (S264), command setting processing is executed (S265), and the special figure start port switch common processing is terminated. Then, immediately after the execution of step S122, the special figure start port switch common process is terminated, and the process related to the change order flag is not executed.

  Further, the special figure hold information determination process of the second control embodiment is basically the same as the special figure hold information determination process (see FIG. 69) of the first control embodiment, but step S131 is started from the start of the process. Processing until execution is different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 83, after the start of the special figure hold information determination process, it is determined whether or not a condition for executing a pre-production (pre-production execution condition) is satisfied (S271, S272). If satisfied, step S131 is executed. If not satisfied, the special figure hold information determination processing is immediately terminated.

  Furthermore, the special figure routine process of the second control embodiment is basically the same as the special figure routine process of the first control embodiment (see FIG. 72A), but steps S153 and S162 from the start of the process. , S164 is different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 84, after the start of the special figure routine processing, it is checked whether or not the second special figure hold number is 0 (S281, S282), and the second special figure hold number must be zero. Step S164 is executed. On the other hand, if the second special figure reservation number is 0, it is checked whether or not the first special figure reservation number is 0 (S283, S284). If the first special figure reservation number is not 0, step S162 is executed. If 0, step S153 is executed.

  By the way, in each control embodiment described above, a different variation pattern selection table is set for each gaming state (“normal state”, “post-hit state”) at the time of execution of the special figure variation display game (see FIG. 57). Although the reach effect or the like is determined with reference to the variation pattern selection table, the present control invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 85, a different variation pattern selection table may be set for each number of reserved special figure start memories (start memory number).

  At this time, a special figure start is started at the time when a certain special figure start memory is held (in other words, when a pre-effect is executed) and when the hold is released (in other words, immediately before the execution of the special figure variation display game based on the special figure start memory). If the number of stored suspensions is different, the variation pattern selection table applied at the time of executing the pre-production is different from the variation pattern selection table applied at the time of executing the special figure variation display game. As a result, the reach effect (variable display pattern) performed in the special figure variation display game may be different from the reach effect predicted by the execution of the prior effect even if determined based on the same variation pattern random number. In other words, in the variable pattern random number, an indeterminate range (a range expressed by filling in FIG. 85) in which the reach effect is not executed according to the preliminary effect notice is set. Therefore, when a fluctuation pattern random number within the uncertain range is extracted, it is preferable to avoid the execution of the pre-effect based on the fluctuation pattern random number.
