Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachinko machine”) or a spinning-type gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachislot machine”).

Conventionally, in gaming machines such as pachinko machines, a lot of obstacle nails are provided in a predetermined gauge arrangement in a gaming area where, for example, gaming balls are driven as gaming media, and at appropriate positions in the gaming area. Is provided with a plurality of winning openings for paying out a predetermined number of game media when the game media are received. Among these winning holes, there is a start opening for lottery with the reception of game media, and it is advantageous to the player according to the lottery result drawn by receiving game media into the start opening. Those that generate an advantageous gaming state are also known. This conventional gaming machine is provided with a storage tray for storing game media to be driven into the game area and game media paid out by winning in a prize opening or the like. It is supplied to the game device and driven into the game area.
In this type of gaming machine, when the game medium is paid out into the storage tray through the inflow port, the bottom surface of the storage tray is used in order to minimize the impact of the discharged game medium on the storage tray. And the bottom of the inlet of the game medium are arranged to be as small as possible (the bottom of the reservoir and the bottom of the inlet are substantially the same height) (for example, FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1). See).

JP 2008-1113918 A

However, in the conventional gaming machine, the bottom surface of the storage tray and the bottom of the inflow port are substantially coincident with each other, so that a lot of game media is stored in the storage tray and the inflow port is blocked, and the game medium is in that state. When the game is paid out, the paid-out game medium pushes the game medium in the storage tray from the side. Thereby, a lateral force acts on the game medium in the storage tray, the game media are pressed against each other, the fluidity of the game medium is reduced, and the game medium is clogged in the storage tray, There was a problem that the game medium in the storage tray would not be supplied to the driving device. Therefore, if the game medium is clogged in the storage tray, the player himself resolves the clogging by hand. There was a risk that the interest would be reduced.

Accordingly, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a gaming machine capable of suppressing a decrease in the interest of a player in the game by continuing the game without worrying about the game medium in the storage tray. It is to be an issue.

Mean 1: In the gaming machine,
"A ball launcher for driving game balls by player's operation,
A game board having at least a game area in which a game ball is driven by the hitting ball launching apparatus, and a receiving port arranged in the game area and capable of receiving the game ball;
A payout device for paying out a predetermined number of game balls in response to the reception of game balls at least into the entrance of the game board;
A contact for distributing game balls paid out from the payout device;
A storage section that allows storage of game balls that have circulated through the contact box and that is inclined so that the bottom surface is lowered toward a predetermined position;
A back plate part forming a wall on the back side of the storage part;
An inflow port for allowing the game balls that have circulated through the communication rod to flow into the storage unit;
An inclined part for aligning the game balls stored in the storage part in a row;
A supply port for supplying game balls aligned with the inclined portion to the hitting ball launching device,
Forming the inclined portion of the reservoir in front of the back plate portion;
Having a second inclined portion such that the width in the front-rear direction combined with the inclined portion becomes narrower toward the supply port;
On the other hand, a plurality of game balls lined up in a row in contact with the front surface of the back plate portion on the bottom surface between the relatively right bottom of the inlet and the bottom surface immediately below the bottom. Forming a step above the height at which the game ball from the inflow port can flow down in a rolling state between the game balls on the upper side;
Further, a plurality of game balls arranged in a row in a state of contacting the front surface of the back plate portion on the bottom surface between the relatively left bottom side of the inlet and the bottom surface immediately below the bottom. Forming a step with a height above which the gaming balls from the inflow port cannot flow down in the valley between the gaming balls,
The depth width of the bottom surface at a position on the near side of the step in the bottom surface is formed so that two or more rows of game balls can be arranged.

Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of continuing the game without worrying about the game medium in the storage tray and suppressing the player's interest in the game from being lowered. Can do.

The outer frame 2 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 8 is a front perspective view of the outer frame 2, FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view seen from the front of the outer frame 2, FIG. 10 is a front view of the outer frame 2, and FIG. FIG. 12 is a rear view of the outer frame 2, and FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 10 (A), a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. , E-E sectional view (D). FIG. 13 is a perspective view for explaining the attachment / detachment structure between the upper shaft support fitting of the main body frame and the upper support fitting of the outer frame, and FIG. 14 shows a lock member provided on the back surface of the upper support fitting of the outer frame. It is the disassembled perspective view (A) which shows an attachment state, and the perspective view (B) seen from the downward direction. Further, FIG. 15 is a rear view of the upper support metal part for explaining the relationship between the pivot pin and the lock member, and FIG. 16 is a rear view of the upper support metal part for explaining the action of the lock member.

  8 and 9, the outer frame 2 according to this embodiment includes upper and lower upper frame plates 10 and lower frame plates 11 extending in the horizontal direction, and left and right side frame plates 12 and 13 extending in the vertical (vertical) direction. Are assembled in a square shape by connecting them with connecting members 19 for connecting the respective end portions. Specifically, the connecting member 19 is formed in a podium shape with a step between the center and the left and right, and the protruding center part is an engagement notch formed at the center of both ends of the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11. The side frame plates 12, 13 are fitted to the side surfaces of the left and right portions which are fitted to the portion 20, and the back surface of the upper frame plate 10 and the upper surface of the lower frame plate 11 are in contact with the planes of the left and right portions lowered one step. The inner surface of the is in contact.

  In that state, the insertion hole 21 formed on both sides of the engagement notch 20 of the upper frame plate 10 and both sides of the engagement notch 20 of the lower frame plate 11 and the left and right lowered by one step of the connecting member 19. A plurality of (two in the illustrated case) connecting holes 22 (shown on the connecting member 19 that connects the upper frame plate 10 and the side frame plate 12 in FIG. Are also fixed by a plurality of (two in the illustrated case) connecting screws 23 from above or below, and further, a plurality ( Two (in the illustrated case) mounting holes 24 and a plurality of (three in the illustrated case) connecting holes 25 formed on the side surfaces of the left and right portions of the connecting member 19 that are lowered by one step are aligned to form a plurality (from the lateral outer side). The upper and lower upper frame plates 10 and the lower frame are fixed by fastening with three connecting screws 26 and 27 in the illustrated case. 11 and the left and right side frame plates 12 and 13 is firmly coupled and fixed. However, of the three connecting screws 26 and 27, one connecting screw 27 does not connect the side frame plates 12 and 13 and the connecting member 19 but connects the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11. The member 19 is directly connected from the side.

  Of the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 constituting the outer frame 2, the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are made of the same wood as in the prior art, and the side frame plates 12 and 13. Is made of an extruded plate of a lightweight metal, for example, an aluminum alloy. The reason why the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are made of the same wood as before is that when the pachinko machine 1 is installed on an island lined up in a game hall, a predetermined angle is given to the vertical plane of the island. Although it is necessary to perform a fixing operation, such an operation is performed by hitting the nail to the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the island, so that it is easy to hit the nail. On the other hand, the reason why the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of an aluminum alloy extruded plate is that the thickness of the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be reduced while maintaining the strength as compared with the conventional wood. The left-right width when viewed from the front of the side walls 540 to 543 (see FIG. 69) of the main body frame 3 adjacent to the main frame 3 can be increased. This is because the game board 4 having a large lateral dimension can be mounted on the main body frame 3, and as a result, the game area 605 of the game board 4 can be formed larger.

  If the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of an aluminum alloy flat plate, sufficient rigidity cannot be ensured. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12C, the side frame plate 12 (the side frame plate 13 has the same structure). .) Is formed by drawing so that the thickness h1 of the rear portion is increased by forming a space portion 28 (the space portion 28 of the side frame plate 13 is shown in FIG. 11) opened rearward by a rib. Yes. Of course, the wall thickness h1 is the same as or slightly smaller than the wall thickness of the conventional wood.

  As shown in FIGS. 12B and 12D, in the front of the space portion 28 of the side frame plate 12, a groove portion 29 (side) into which one of the left and right portions of the connecting member 19 is lowered one step is fitted. A groove portion 29 of the frame plate 13 is formed in FIG. From the groove 29 to the front end of the side frame plate 12, as shown in FIGS. 12 (B) to 12 (D), the other side of the left and right portions whose inner side surfaces are lowered by one step is connected. However, a shallow concave portion for reducing material is formed in the flat plate portion. Further, on the opposite surface (outer surface) where the groove portion 29 is formed, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 12B, the recessed portion 30 (side frame) into which the hanging piece portion 53 of the upper support fitting 45 is inserted. The concave portion 30 of the plate 13 is formed as shown in FIG.

  In addition to the structure for attaching the connecting member 19, the side frame plate 12 on the pivot support side formed as described above is provided with a hanging piece 53 of the upper support fitting 45 on the outer side of the side frame plate 12. A mounting hole 31 for fixing with a fixing screw 32 is formed in the upper portion of the mounting hole 31, and a fixing screw 34 is formed at the lower portion thereof so as to coincide with the mounting hole 69 formed in the vertical contact piece 72 of the lower support fitting 66. A mounting hole 33 for fastening is formed. A mounting hole 35 for fixing the side frame plate 12 and the cover reinforcing metal fitting 14 with the fixing screw 36 is formed in the lower part of the mounting hole 33 and in the front portion of the side frame plate 12.

  On the other hand, in addition to the structure for attaching the connecting member 19, the open side frame part 13 is provided with an attachment hole 37 for attaching a closing projection 38 with an attachment screw 39 at the upper part thereof, and closing at the lower part thereof. An attachment hole 40 for attaching the projection 41 with the attachment screw 42 is formed, and an attachment hole 43 for attaching the side frame plate 13 and the cover reinforcing bracket 14 with the fastening screw 44 is further provided at the lowermost position. Is formed.

  The closing protrusions 38 and 41 are hook portions 1054 and 1065 (see FIG. 121) of the locking device 1000 that are attached along the open side of the main body frame 3 when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. As shown in detail later, by inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010 of the locking device 1000 and turning it to one side, the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing projections 38 and 41 are connected to each other. The main body frame 3 can be released from the outer frame 2 by disengagement.

  Further, the cover reinforcing bracket 14 fixed to the lower front surface of the lower frame plate 11 and the left and right side frame plates 12 and 13 is such that the main body frame 3 is placed on the upper surface when the cover reinforcing bracket 14 is closed. The front and side surfaces of the cover are covered with a decorative cover plate 15. A guide plate 18 for smoothly guiding the main body frame 3 when the main body frame 3 is closed is replaceably mounted on the upper surface of the outer frame 2 on the open side of the decorative cover plate 15.

  By the way, as a structure for pivotally supporting the main body frame 3 so as to be openable and closable, the main frame 3 is attached along the upper surface of one side of the upper support metal 45 and the cover reinforcement metal 14 which also serve to connect the upper frame plate 10 and the side frame plate 12. A lower support fitting 66 is provided. The upper support fitting 45 is formed with a support flange 47 formed by bending the support protrusion piece 46 protruding forward from the side of the support protrusion piece 46 toward the center of the tip. A shaft support pin 504 (see FIG. 71) of an upper shaft support fitting 503 (described later) of the main body frame 3 is detachably engaged with the hole 47.

  Further, the lower support fitting 66 is also formed to protrude forward, and a support protrusion 68 protrudes upward from the protruding portion, and a frame support plate 506 (described later) of the main body frame 3 is provided on the support protrusion 68. The support holes formed in (see FIG. 72) are inserted. Accordingly, in order to support the main body frame 3 on the outer frame 2, after the support holes formed in the frame support plate 506 of the main body frame 3 are engaged with the support protrusions 68 of the lower support metal fitting 66, By pivoting the pivot pin 504 of the upper pivot bracket 503 in the support hole 47, it can be pivotally supported so as to be freely opened and closed.

  The upper support bracket 45 is attached to a mounting step portion 49 formed in a concave shape on the upper surface and the front surface of the upper frame plate 10 on the shaft support side. A plurality of (two in the illustrated case) mounting holes 48 and a plurality of (two in the illustrated case) mounting holes 50 formed in the mounting step portion 49 are aligned so that the mounting screws 51 are inserted from above, and the upper frame The upper support fitting 45 is firmly fixed to the upper frame plate 10 by being fastened to the clamping plate 52 pressed from the back surface of the plate 10.

  A hanging piece 53 that contacts the outside of the side frame plate 12 is provided on the outer side of the upper support fitting 45, and a mounting hole is also formed in the hanging piece 53. Are fastened with fastening screws 32 to fix the upper support fitting 45 and the side frame plate 12 and to connect the upper frame plate 10 and the side frame plate 12 via the upper support fitting 45. .

  On the other hand, the lower support fitting 66 is fixed by the fixing screw 34 in a state where the mounting hole 33 of the side frame plate 12 and the mounting hole 69 of the vertical contact piece 72 coincide with each other as described above. By inserting a mounting screw 71 into a mounting hole 70 formed in the middle of the horizontal surface of the metal fitting 66, it is fixed to the upper surface of the cover reinforcing metal fitting 14 via the decorative cover plate 15.

  In the outer frame 2 configured as described above, the connecting member 19 is connected to the side frame by connecting the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12 and 13, which are constituent members, with the connecting member 19. Since the connection member 19 is fastened in close contact with the inner surfaces of the plates 12 and 13 and the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are engaged with each other, the mounting strength is high and the rectangular shape is strong. It can be a framework. In addition to the engagement state of the connection member 19 with the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, the left and right sides of the connection member 19 that are lowered by one step in the groove portion 29 when the connection member 19 is attached to the side frame plates 12 and 13. Since one part of the structure is fitted, the attachment of the connecting member 19 to the side frame plates 12 and 13 is strengthened, which can also improve the strength of the rectangular frame and accurately position it. Can be done.

  Further, when the upper support plate 45 is attached at a predetermined position after the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are connected by the connecting member 19, as shown in FIGS. Since there is no member protruding outward from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of each of the frame plates 10, 11, 12, and 13, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed on a pachinko island base (not shown), an adjacent device (for example, It can be installed in close contact with the adjacent ball lending device. Further, when the lower support metal fitting 66 is attached, the upper surface of the cover reinforcing metal fitting 14 and the upper surface of the lower support metal fitting 66 are substantially flush with each other.

  Incidentally, a lock member 80 is pivotally supported on the back surface of the upper support fitting 45 for pivotally supporting the body frame 3 so as to be freely opened and closed as shown in FIG. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 14A, the support protruding piece 46 of the upper support fitting 45 is formed as an arc-shaped flat plate at the tip and is perpendicular to the outer edge of the support protruding piece 46. A drooping wall 46a is formed. The drooping wall 46a can improve the strength of the support protruding piece 46 of the upper support fitting 45, and when viewed from the front, the lock member 80, which will be described below, cannot be visually recognized to improve the appearance. Then, the lock member 80 is used as a portion where the tip contact portion of the elastic piece 80c of the lock member 80 described below comes into contact, or as a stop portion so that the lock member 80 does not jump out of the support protruding piece 46. Further, the support hole 47 formed in the support projecting piece 46 is formed to be bent so as to be inclined slightly toward the inside from the side on the opposite side where the hanging wall 46a is not formed. Has been. The groove size of the inclined hole portion of the support rod hole 47 is formed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the shaft support pin 504.

  The hanging wall 46 a described above is formed by being bent at right angles along the outer edge of the support protruding piece 46 and the upper support fitting 45 from the entrance end portion in front of the support pothole 47, and the support pothole 47. A stop drooping portion 47a is formed by being bent inward at the entrance end portion of the front. A mounting hole 46 b is formed in the approximate center of the support projecting piece 46, and a lock member 80 is rotatably supported by a rivet 81 in the mounting hole 46 b. The lock member 80 is molded from a synthetic resin. The stopper portion 80a and the operation portion 80b are formed in an L shape, and an arc-shaped elastic piece 80c is integrally extended on the opposite side of the operation portion 80b. It is installed. A mounting hole 80d through which the rivet 81 is inserted is formed in an L-shaped base portion formed by the stopper portion 80a and the operation portion 80b. Thus, in a state where the lock member 80 is attached to the attachment hole 46b by the rivet 81 and is rotatably fixed to the back surface of the support protruding piece 46, as shown in FIG. The portion is in contact with the inner side surface of the hanging wall 46 a, and the stopper portion 80 a closes the inclined hole portion of the support hole 47. Further, at this time, the tip end portion of the stopper portion 80a is not in a state of closing the leading space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 47. That is, in a normal state, a space in which the shaft support pin 504 of the upper shaft support 503 of the main body frame 3 is inserted is formed in the head space portion of the support rod hole 47.

  By the way, the shaft support pin 504 is inserted into the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support rod hole 47, and the tip side of the stopper portion 80a faces the stop hanging portion 47a at the inlet end portion (in this state) In a normal shaft support state in which there is a slight gap between the tip side of the stopper portion 80a and the stop drooping portion 47a, the support hole 47 is formed by bending. The centers of the shaft support pin 504 and the tip end surface 80e of the stopper portion 80a that are located in the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion are opposed to each other while being shifted in an oblique direction. In this normal shaft support state, the shaft support pin 504 that supports the heavy main body frame 3 is in contact with the tip end portion of the support rod hole 47. Since almost no load is applied to the distal end surface 80e of the stopper portion 80a, the load is not applied to the elastic piece 80c of the lock member 80. Further, as shown in FIG. 15A, the lock member 80 is formed in an arc shape so that it smoothly rotates when the distal end surface 80e of the stopper portion 80a is rotated by operating the operation portion 80b. . In the illustrated case, the arc center of the arcuate tip surface 80e is the center of the rivet 81 (the rotation center of the lock member 80).

  For this reason, when the acting force F is applied in the direction in which the shaft support pin 504 comes out along the inclination of the inclined hole portion of the support flange 47 and comes into contact with the arcuate tip surface 80e, the acting force F is The component force F1 (the normal direction of the arc of the arcuate tip end surface 80e) acting on the contact portion between the support pin 504 and the arcuate tip end face 80e, and the inclined hole portion of the shaft support pin 504 and the support flange 47 Since the direction of the component force F1 is directed to the center of the rivet 81 (rotation center of the lock member 80) when divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the inner surface of the one side, the stopper of the lock member 80 The moment that rotates the tip of the portion 80a in the direction away from the support protrusion 46 (clockwise in the figure) does not act, and the pivot pin 504 is inclined between the tip of the stopper 80a of the lock member 80 and the support flange 47. Clamped between one side inner surface of the hole To hold. Therefore, the elastic piece 80c of the lock member 80 is not always loaded even in the normal shaft support state or in the state where the acting force of the shaft support pin 504 is applied to the lock member 80, and the elasticity formed integrally with the synthetic resin. The plastic deformation due to creep of the piece 80c can be prevented, and the shaft support pin 504 can be prevented from falling off from the support hole 47 over a long period of time. Even if an excessive force is applied and the distal end portion of the stopper portion 80a of the locking member 80 is rotated in a direction away from the support projecting piece 46 (clockwise in the figure), one side of the distal end portion of the stopper portion 80a Does not rotate in such a direction that it comes into contact with the stop drooping portion 47a and disengages further, so that the lock member 80 does not protrude outside the support projecting piece 46.

  Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 15A, the arc center of the arcuate tip surface 80e of the stopper portion 80a is the center of the rivet 81 (the rotation center of the lock member 80), so Although the description has been given of the case in which no rotational moment is generated in the lock member 80 even when the acting force F in the direction of coming off along the inclination of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 47 is applied, as shown in FIG. When the radius of curvature of the arcuate tip surface 80f of the portion 80a is further reduced and the shaft support position by the rivet 81 of the lock member 80 is set to the inside of the support protrusion 46, the shaft support pin 504 is inclined with respect to the support collar hole 47. When the acting force F is applied in the direction of coming off along the inclination of the hole, and abuts against the arcuate tip surface 80f, the acting force F is brought into contact with the pivot pin 504 and the arcuate tip surface 80f. Component force F1 acting on the component (normal direction of the arc of the arcuate tip surface 80f) and component force acting on the contact portion between the shaft support pin 504 and one side inner surface of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 47 In the case of dividing into F2, the rotational moment is exerted by the component force F1 to rotate the lock member 80 in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure (clockwise rotation direction). Since the side only abuts against the stop drooping portion 47a, the lock member 80 does not protrude outside the support protruding piece 46, and no load is applied to the elastic piece 80c of the lock member 80.

  That is, the point that can be understood from the embodiment shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B is that the acting force is such that the shaft support pin 504 is pulled out along the inclination of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 47. When F is applied and abuts against the end faces 80e and 80f, a rotational moment that rotates the lock member 80 by the component force F1 acting on the abutting portion between the pivot pin 504 and the end faces 80e and 80f of the acting force F. By positioning the rotation center (the axis fixed by the rivet 81) of the lock member 80 at a position where no rotation occurs or a position where a rotational moment is generated where the lock member 80 rotates its tip end toward the outside of the support protrusion 46. In addition, no load is applied to the elastic piece 80c of the lock member 80 at all times, and even if the lock member 80 rotates, one side of the tip of the stopper portion 80a is stopped. Since only abuts against the lock member 80 nor protrudes to the outside of the support protruding piece 46. Even if the shape of the tip surface of the stopper portion 80a is not an arc, the position where the rotational moment is not generated by the action of the component force F1 described above or the tip of the lock member 80 faces the outside of the support protruding piece 46. By positioning the rotation center of the lock member 80 (the axis fixed by the rivet 81) at a position where the rotational moment to rotate is generated, no load is applied to the elastic piece 80c of the lock member 80 at all times. The present applicant confirms that the locking member 80 does not protrude outside the support projecting piece 46 because the one side of the tip of the stopper portion 80a only abuts against the stop drooping portion 47a even when the 80 rotates. doing.

  The operation of the lock member 80 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. As a premise that the main body frame 3 is pivotally supported by the outer frame 2 so as to be freely opened and closed, a support protrusion 68 of the lower support metal fitting 66 is formed in a support hole (not shown) formed in a frame support plate 506 (see FIG. 71) of the main body frame 3. Must be inserted. Under such a premise, as shown in FIG. 16A, the shaft support pin 504 of the upper shaft support fitting 503 of the main body frame 3 is pressed against the side surface of the stopper portion 80a of the lock member 80, thereby pushing the figure. As shown in FIG. 16 (B), the lock member 80 rotates counterclockwise while deforming the elastic piece 80 c, so that the shaft support pin 504 can be inserted into the support rod hole 47. Then, when the pivot pin 504 reaches the head space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support flange 47, as shown in FIG. 16C, the pivot pin 504 and the tip side surface of the stopper portion 80a do not contact each other. Therefore, the lock member 80 is urged by the elastic force of the elastic piece 80c and rotates in the clockwise direction, and the stopper portion 80a of the lock member 80 returns to the normal state again and closes the inlet portion of the support hole 47, The distal end portion of the stopper portion 80 a faces the shaft support pin 504 so that the shaft support pin 504 does not fall out of the support rod hole 47. This state is maintained even when the main body frame 3 is completely closed or during the normal opening / closing operation of the main body frame 3 as shown in FIG. Next, in order to remove the pivot pin 504 from the support hole 47, as shown in FIG. 16E, the finger is inserted into the back surface of the support protrusion 46 and the operation portion 80b of the lock member 80 is turned counterclockwise. By rotating, the lock member 80 rotates against the elastic force of the elastic piece 80c, and the distal end portion of the stopper portion 80a is retracted from the support rod hole 47, so that the shaft support pin 504 is supported. It can be taken out from the hole 47. Thereafter, the main body frame 3 can be removed from the outer frame 2 by lifting the main body frame 3 and releasing the engagement between the support holes formed in the frame support plate 506 and the support protrusions 68 of the lower support fitting 66. .

  As described above, in the lock member 80 provided on the upper support fitting 45 of the outer frame 2 according to the second embodiment, the stopper portion 80a, the operation portion 80b, and the elastic piece 80c are integrally formed of synthetic resin. Therefore, it can be very easily attached to the back surface of the upper support fitting 45, and since it has a very simple structure, there are few failures and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, when the acting force F is applied in the direction in which the shaft supporting pin 504 is pulled out along the inclination of the inclined hole portion of the support flange 47 and comes into contact with the front end surfaces 80e, 80f, the shaft supporting pin 504 of the acting force F is applied. And a position where no rotational moment is generated to rotate the lock member 80 by the component force F1 acting on the contact portion between the front end surfaces 80e and 80f, or the front end portion of the lock member 80 is rotated toward the outside of the support protruding piece 46. By positioning the rotation center of the lock member 80 (the axis fixed by the rivet 81) at the position where the rotation moment is generated, no load is applied to the elastic piece 80c of the lock member 80 at all times. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation due to creep of the elastic piece 80c to be formed, and to prevent the pivot pin 504 from coming off from the support hole 47 over a long period of time. Since the locking member 80 is only towards the distal end on one side of the stopper portion 80a also rotates and abuts against the stop drooping portion 47a, the lock member 80 nor protrudes to the outside of the support protruding piece 46.

The rear side is closed by a ball passage cover 191 that closes the ball passage passage opening 110. In addition, the game balls that have circulated through the ball removal path 393 are discharged from the ball discharge port 321 g of the main body 321 in the plate unit main body 320 to the lower side of the plate unit 300.

  Further, the speaker box 392 has a second ball removal slide holding hole 394 for holding the front end of the second ball removal slide 362 of the second ball removal mechanism 360 slidably in the front-rear direction at the upper left portion in front view, A second ball removal mechanism support portion 395 that is disposed on the rear side of the two-ball removal slide holding hole 394 and supports the second ball removal mechanism support 368 of the second ball removal mechanism 360.

[1-2C-8. Handle device]
Next, as shown in FIGS. 56 to 58, the handle device 400 in the dish unit 300 includes an operation handle portion 410 provided on the lower front surface of the door frame 5 and the door frame 5 corresponding to the operation handle portion 410. And a joint unit 180 that is linked to a rotation shaft 415 that rotates in response to a rotation operation of the operation handle portion 410 and changes the rotation motion of the rotation shaft 415 to a slide motion.

  First, the operation handle portion 410 is a handle support tube portion of a cylindrical handle base 303 attached so as to protrude forward from the handle base attachment port 321d of the main body portion 321 of the plate unit main body 320 of the plate unit 300 in the door frame 5. Inserted and fixed to 303a. Since the handle support cylinder portion 303a is formed so as to be inclined outward (right side) when viewed from above the pachinko machine 1, the operation handle portion 410 inserted and fixed to the handle support cylinder portion 303a. Is also inclined outward in plan view (in other words, the front end of the pachinko machine 1 is inclined with respect to a line orthogonal to the front vertical plane of the pachinko machine 1 so as to face the outside of the pachinko machine 1). It is attached and fixed to 5. Thus, by tilting the operation handle portion 410 outward in a plan view, there is an advantage that the player can easily grasp the operation handle portion 410 and can easily perform the rotation operation without feeling uncomfortable in the rotation operation. In the present embodiment, as will be described later, even if the operation handle portion 410 is installed at an inclination, the rotational motion of the rotation shaft 415 of the operation handle portion 410 is smoothly transmitted, and the resilience of the ball hitting device 650 is increased. A structure that can be adjusted is adopted. After the operation handle portion 410 is inserted into the handle support tube portion 303a, the handle support tube portion 303a and the operation handle portion 410 (more precisely, the rear grip member 413) are connected with a screw or the like so that the operation handle portion 410 is It cannot be pulled out from the handle support cylinder 303a.

  As shown in FIG. 58, the operation handle portion 410 is pivotally supported so as to be rotatable between the front gripping member 412, the rear gripping member 413, and the front gripping member 412 and the rear gripping member 413. The operation member 414 includes a linear columnar rotation shaft 415 whose one end is fixed to the rotation operation member 414, and a cam 416 fixed to the other end of the rotation shaft 415. The rear grip member 413 is integrally formed with a small-diameter portion fitted to the handle support cylinder portion 303a and a large-diameter portion in front of the small-diameter portion, and a shaft through-hole 418 through which the rotation shaft 415 passes is formed at the center. Is formed. When the rotating shaft 415 is inserted into the shaft through hole 418, the bearing bush 417 is fitted into the rear end of the shaft through hole 418, and the rotating shaft 415 is inserted into the bearing bush 417. On the other hand, the rotating shaft 415 that is passed through the shaft through hole 418 via the bearing bush 417 passes through the bearing hole 424 of the fixed bearing member 423 that is fixed to the front surface side of the rear grip member 413, and the rotation operation member 414. It is fitted in a shaft fitting hole 426 formed at the center.

  Further, on the front side of the rear grip member 413, a projection and a mounting hole (both not shown) for fixing the touch sensor 420 and the firing stop switch 422 are provided, and the single button 421 is supported in a swingable manner. A swing pin (not shown) is formed, and a touch sensor 420, a firing stop switch 422, and a single button 421 are attached to the protrusions, mounting holes, and swing pins. Then, the wiring through cylinder having the wiring through hole 419 formed in the side of the shaft through hole 418 of the rear grip member 413 by collecting the wiring from the touch sensor 420 and the firing stop switch 422 in a state where they are attached. It is led from the part 428 and the wiring opening 184c (see FIG. 31) to the back surface of the door frame 5, and is connected to the handle relay terminal plate 194 (see FIGS. 24 and 25). The wiring from the handle relay terminal plate 194 is attached along the lower reinforcing plate 36 described above, and is electrically connected to a payout control board 1186 described later. Further, an urging spring 425 is provided between the fixed bearing member 423 and the rotation operation member 414 so as to be provided around the rotation shaft 415, and the urging spring 425 always keeps the rotation operation member 414 from the original position. It is designed to return to the position. Further, a switch contact convex portion 427 protrudes outside the shaft fitting hole 426 of the rotation operation member 414. When the rotation operation member 414 is in the original position by the urging force of the urging spring 425, the switch contact is made. When the convex portion 427 contacts the actuator of the firing stop switch 422 to turn off the firing stop switch 422 and the rotation operation member 414 is rotated by the player, the switch contact convex portion 427 becomes the actuator of the firing stop switch 422. Turn away and turn on. Further, since the single button 421 can be swung while the firing stop switch 422 is ON, the actuator of the firing stop switch 422 can be turned off by pressing the single button 421. ing.

  Note that the outer peripheral surface of the rotation operation member 414 is subjected to conductive plating, and the touch sensor 420 detects contact when the player contacts the rotation operation member 414. Then, when the player rotates the rotation operation member 414, the firing stop switch 422 is turned on and the touch sensor 420 detects contact, a later-described firing motor 695 of the ball striking device 650 (see FIG. 91). ) Is driven to rotate.

  A cam 416 fixed to the tip of the rotating shaft 415 is formed in a slanted ball shape, and a cam contact of a slide body 182 (see FIGS. 31 and 59) of the joint unit 180 described later according to the rotation of the rotating shaft 415. The part 182d is pressed and slid in one direction. In this embodiment, the operation handle portion 410 is attached in an inclined manner in plan view as described above by the cooperative structure of the cam 416 fixed to the tip of the rotating shaft 415 and the slide body 182 of the joint unit 180. It is possible.

  As described above, the operation handle portion 410 is inserted and supported from the front side of the door frame 5 into the handle support cylinder portion 303a of the handle base 303, and the joint unit 180 is attached to the joint unit mounting recess 110c from the back side of the door frame 5. Thus, as shown in FIG. 56, the cam 416 fixed to the tip of the rotating shaft 415 is accommodated in the cam engaging recess 182 c of the slide body 182. In this case, the operation handle portion 410 is attached to be inclined in a plan view, so that the cam 416 is also inclined with respect to the vertical surface of the door frame 5, but the cam engaging recess 182c is predetermined in the front-rear direction. Since the space is wide, the entire inclined cam 416 can be accommodated in the space of the cam engaging recess 182c. Further, as shown in FIG. 59 (A), the retracted state is such that the rotation center of the cam 416 is located on the side of the cam contact portion 182d, and the tip of the slanted cam 416 is below the cam engagement recess 182c. It is located in the space.

  When the player rotates the rotation operation member 414 of the operation handle portion 410 in the state described above, the rotation shaft 415 rotates and the cam 416 also rotates accordingly, so as shown in FIG. The slide body 182 moves in one direction (in the case of FIG. 59, in the right direction in the figure) by the contact between the cam contact portion 182d of the cam engagement recess 182c and the one outer surface of the cam 416 (outer front surface). Move to slide. That is, the rotational motion of the rotating shaft 415 is converted into the sliding motion of the slide body 182. For this reason, the distance S1 between the rotation center of the cam 416 in the initial state (before rotation) shown in FIG. The distance S2 is greater than the distance S1 due to the rotation. That is, the slide protrusion 183 of the slide body 182 slides by a distance of “S2-S1”. Then, the slide movement of the slide protrusion 183 of the joint unit 180 is transmitted to the slide member 710 of the ball hitting device 650 as shown in FIGS. The tension of the hitting ball desired by the player can be obtained by adjusting the tension shown in FIG. The relationship between the handle device 400 and the ball hitting device 650 will be described in detail after the ball hitting device 650 is described.

  The wiring led out from the inside of the operation handle 410 to the back surface of the door frame 5 through the wiring through hole 419, the wiring through tube portion 428, and the wiring opening 184c And then connected to the operation handle terminal 1194 (see FIG. 132) of the payout control board 1186 that is collectively attached to the board unit 1100 attached to the back side of the main body frame 3. .

[1-2C-9. Effect of dish unit]
Next, the flow of game balls in the storage tray 311 of the tray unit 300 of the present embodiment will be described with reference mainly to FIG. 62 and FIG. In this example, a game ball paid out from a prize ball unit 800, which will be described later, flows from the ball inlet 341 into the storage dish 311 via the full tank unit 900 and the prize ball communication rod 343 of the back plate 340. The game ball that has flowed from the ball inlet 341 first flows into the first inclined surface 311a. The first inclined surface 311a is formed so that the front side and the right side when viewed from the front are lowered, and the game balls that flow into the first inclined surface 311a from the ball inflow port 341 follow the inclination of the first inclined surface 311a. The outer peripheral wall 311h that surrounds the front outer periphery of the storage plate 311 comes into contact with a position substantially opposite to the ball inlet 341. This position of the outer peripheral wall 311h is inclined in a curved line with respect to the surface of the dish back plate 340 on which the ball inlet 341 is formed, and the game ball in contact with the outer peripheral wall 311h moves rightward in front view. It is designed to reflect.

  Then, the game ball that has flowed into the storage tray 311 from the ball inlet 341 and reflected rightward on the outer peripheral wall 311h enters the fifth inclined surface 311e beyond the fourth inclined surface 311d. The fifth inclined surface 311e is lower on the left side when viewed from the front, that is, on the fourth inclined surface 311d side, and the inclination angle is set to a gentle inclination that allows a game ball entering from the first inclined surface 311a to climb up. Thus, the game ball that has entered the first inclined surface 311a beyond the fourth inclined surface 311d circulates to the upper portion (right end portion in plan view) of the fifth inclined surface 311e while ascending the fifth inclined surface 311e. It will be. The fifth inclined surface 311e is partitioned from the front side to the rear side by the outer peripheral wall 311h and the partition wall 311f around the right end, and the game ball that has entered the fifth inclined surface 311e The outer peripheral wall 311h and the partition wall 311f are surrounded by the fifth inclined surface 311e so as to return to the fourth inclined surface 311d disposed on the left side of the fifth inclined surface 311e.

  The game balls that have entered the fourth inclined surface 311d from the fifth inclined surface 311e flow to the second inclined surface 311b on the rear side of the fourth inclined surface 311d according to the inclination of the fourth inclined surface 311d, and further It enters from the inclined surface 311b to the right third inclined surface 311c, and is supplied to the ball launcher 650 from the ball supply port 342 of the dish back plate 340 disposed at the downstream end of the third inclined surface 311c. It has become. That is, the game ball that has flowed into the storage tray 311 from the ball supply port 341 does not go directly from the first inclined surface 311a to the third inclined surface 311c via the second inclined surface 311b, but from the first inclined surface 311a. Once entering the fifth inclined surface 311e via the fourth inclined surface 311d, the third inclined surface 311c is reached via the fourth inclined surface 311e and the second inclined surface 311b. The game ball flowing in from 341 can be detoured.

  As a result, a plurality of game balls can be stored effectively using the entire storage tray 311, and the game balls are stored in a state of low storage as in conventional pachinko machines, and the game balls block the ball inlet 341. Then, the full tank switch 916 of the full tank unit 900 is actuated to stop paying out the game ball, or the game ball launching operation at the ball launcher 650 is stopped and the game is interrupted. Can be prevented well.

  By the way, a large number of game balls are stored in the storage tray 311 of the tray unit 300 of this example, so that the ball inlet 341 is closed by the stored game balls, and a prize ball contact bar 343 of the tray back plate 340 is awarded. When the game ball stays in the full tank unit 900 disposed between the ball unit 800 and the full tank switch 916 of the full tank unit 900, the payout of the game ball from the prize ball unit 800 is stopped. The ball launching device 650 stops the game ball launching operation. In particular, when the ball launching device 650 is stopped, the game cannot be interrupted. When the amount of game balls stored in the tray 311 reaches an appropriate amount, the first ball extraction button 351 and the second ball extraction button 361 are operated to dispose the game balls from the storage tray 311 below the tray unit 300. Containers (for example, dollar box) needs to be discharged to. In this example, when the full tank switch 916 is operated, the player is informed that the inside of the storage tray 311 is full, and then the firing operation of the ball launching device 650 is stopped.

  In order to discharge the game ball from the storage tray 311, the first ball removal slide 356 of the first ball removal mechanism 350 is operated by operating (pushing) the first ball removal button 351 disposed on the upper surface of the dish unit 300. Slides to release the closure between the downstream end of the third inclined surface 311c and the first ball removal path 313, and causes the game ball on the third inclined surface 311c to flow down to the first ball removal path 313. It can discharge | emit to the downward direction of the dish unit 300 from the ball | bowl discharge port 321g via the extraction path | route 393. FIG. By operating the first ball removal button 351, the game balls can be extracted from the downstream end of the third inclined surface 311c which is the lowest position in the storage tray 311. Therefore, all the game balls are discharged from the storage tray 311. Be able to. However, in the ball removal by operating the first ball removal button 351, the game balls are aligned in a row on the third inclined surface 311c, so that there is a problem that it takes time to remove the ball.

  Therefore, when the second ball removal button 361 disposed on the left side of the front surface of the dish unit 300 is operated (pressed), the second ball removal shutter 364 of the second ball removal mechanism 360 moves to move the second ball removal shutter 364 in the storage tray 311. The ball outlet 312 is opened, and the game ball upstream of the second ball outlet 312 in the storage tray 311 passes through the second ball outlet 312 and passes from the ball outlet 321g through the ball outlet 393 to the dish unit. It can be discharged below 300 (see FIG. 62B). As shown in the drawing, the second ball outlet 312 has an opening that is several times larger than the outer diameter of the game ball, so that many game balls can be quickly discharged at once. Accordingly, the presence of the two buttons, the first ball removal button 351 and the second ball removal button 361, allows the player to select the length of time to remove the ball. Further, when a big hit is made during the game, a large amount of balls are paid out to the dish unit 300, and when the game is continued by leaving it, the full tank switch 916 provided on the upstream side of the dish unit 300 (see FIG. 111) may be activated and the payout operation may be stopped or the ballistic operation may be stopped and the hitting operation of the game ball may stop and the game may not be continued even though the jackpot is being hit. Yes, in such a case, by operating the second ball removal button 361, the ball being stored in the dish unit 300 is removed, and at the same time, the supply of the ball to the launch position is maintained and the game with a big hit Can be continued.

  In the dish unit 300 of this example, when the second ball removal button 361 is operated, the second ball removal shutter 364 is held in the open position by the latch unit 366 of the second ball removal mechanism 360, and the second ball removal port 312 can be kept open. In this state, when the game balls on the upstream side of the second ball outlet 312 are discharged and there are almost no game balls on the first inclined surface 311a, the game balls flowing in from the ball inlet 341 are as described above. The second inclined surface 311b, which is reflected from the outer peripheral wall 311h and flows in the direction of the fifth inclined surface 311e, the fourth inclined surface 311d, the fifth inclined surface 311e, the second inclined surface 311b, A game ball is supplied on the third inclined surface 311c. Therefore, even if the game ball on the third inclined surface 311c is consumed by the launch operation of the ball launcher 650, as long as the game ball flows into the storage tray 311 from the ball inlet 341, the second inclined surface 311b, If the game balls are supplied to the third inclined surface 311c via the fourth inclined surface 311d and the fifth inclined surface 311e, and the number of game balls that flow in by stopping the firing operation of the game balls increases, the second ball Since it will be produced from the outlet 312, a certain amount of game balls can always be secured in the storage tray 311 and the game can be continued even when the second ball outlet 312 remains open. ing. That is, the game can be continued without worrying about the amount of game balls in the storage tray 311 even in a state where game balls are continuously paid out, such as during a big hit game.

  In the dish unit 300 of this example, as shown in FIG. 63 and the like, the storage tray 311 of the dish body 310 has a bottom surface continuously including a first inclined surface 311a, a second inclined surface 311b, and a third inclined surface 311c. The ball inlet 341 of the dish back plate 340 has a rectangular shape extending substantially horizontally in the left-right direction, whereas it becomes lower as viewed in the right direction (sphere supply port 342). Thus, a step is formed between the bottom surface of the storage tray 311 and the bottom of the ball inlet 341, and the step becomes larger as it goes to the right in the front view. ing. The step between the bottom surface of the storage tray 311 and the bottom of the ball inlet 341 has almost no step at the left end of the ball inlet 341, and the outer diameter of the game ball at the right end of the ball inlet 341. There is a slightly higher step. As a result, the game balls that have flowed substantially straight in the front-rear direction via the prize ball communication rod 343 flow into the storage tray 311 mainly through the left side portion of the ball inlet 341 with few steps. As a result, the potential energy (falling energy) of the game ball falling from the ball inlet 341 to the storage tray 311 is small due to the small level difference, and the load applied to the storage tray 311 is reduced and the storage tray 311 is damaged. Can be prevented.

  By the way, when the amount of game balls stored in the storage tray 311 increases and a large number of game balls are stored on the first inclined surface 311a, the ball inflow port 341 is connected via the prize ball contact hole 343. The game balls flowing into the storage tray 311 are shaped so as to push the game balls stored in the storage tray 311 from the side, and the game balls are pressed against each other by applying a lateral force to each game ball. It becomes a state. In this state, when the game balls in the storage tray 311 (third inclined surface 311c) are consumed via the ball supply port 342, the game balls are collected near the upstream side of the third inclined surface 311c (second inclined surface 311b). When the width of the flow path is narrowed, the game balls may be pressed against each other and the fluidity of the game balls may be reduced, resulting in clogging of the balls. However, in this example, as described above, the ball inlet 341 moves in the left-right direction. Since it has an elongated rectangular shape, the game ball from the prize ball contact bar 343 directly flows into the second inclined surface 311b through the shelf 344, and can be supplied to the third inclined surface 311c. (See FIG. 62B).

  In addition, in the portion on the right side of the center in the left-right direction of the ball inlet 341, the lower side of the ball inlet 341 is higher than the outer diameter of the game ball with respect to the bottom surface of the storage dish 311. Thus, the game balls flowing into the storage tray 311 flow into the upper side of the game balls stored in the storage tray 311, and the fluidity of the game balls is suppressed by preventing the game balls from pushing sideways. In addition to being able to prevent the lowering, the game balls flowing in from the top promote the lateral movement of the lower game balls (especially the game balls in contact with the front surface of the dish back plate 340), and naturally Ball clogging can be eliminated (see FIG. 63).

  As described above, the storage tray 300 of the present example allows the game balls paid out from the prize ball unit 800 to be stored in the shelf of the horizontally long ball inlet 341 even if the amount of game balls stored in the storage tray 311 increases. Since the game balls stored in the storage tray 311 are caused to flow into the upper side of the storage tray 311 via the portion 344, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the game balls from clogging in the storage tray 311. The game can be continued without worrying about the game ball in the plate 311 and the interest of the player can be prevented from decreasing.

In addition, the post-crime projecting piece 474 and the post-crime end end projecting piece 475 are in a state of projecting backward, but when the door frame 5 is closed, the half of the post-crime projecting projecting piece 474 on the shaft support side is The bottom side of the inner rail 603 fixed to the game board 4 enters and faces the lower side, but the half of the open side of the post-crime projection 474 is rail security formed on the inner rail 603 of the front component 601 The state is inserted into the groove 607, and the crime prevention rear end protrusion 475 is in a superposed position along the upper surface of the crime prevention projection 608 formed on the shaft support side of the main body frame 3 (see FIG. 76). ).

  Thus, in the state in which the security cover 470 is attached and the door frame 5 is closed, the security structure by the door frame protrusion 110d and the engagement grooves 584 and 585 described above, and the security protrusion 166 and the security space 586 described later. In addition to the crime prevention structure by the above, even if it is attempted to intrude an unauthorized tool from below the glass unit 450, the unauthorized device enters from the front lower direction of the security cover 470 due to the polymerization of the pre-crime projection piece 472 and the unit frame 451. The anti-crime piece 474 and the inner rail 603 constituting the front component 601 are superposed to prevent unauthorized equipment from entering from the lower side of the rear face of the security cover 470. In particular, against the intrusion of unauthorized tools from the diagonally lower side of the door frame 5 on the shaft support side, the intrusion of unauthorized tools into the outer rail 602 is prevented by the superposed structure of the security projection 608 and the rear end projection 475. In addition, the overlapping structure of the inner rail 603 and the post-crime protrusion 474 can prevent unauthorized equipment from entering the game area 605 of the game board 4.

  Similarly, in addition to the crime prevention structure by the double bent projecting pieces 153 and 154 of the above-described opening-side reinforcing sheet metal 143, intrusion of unauthorized tools from obliquely below the opening side of the door frame 5, The uneven engagement between the rail crime prevention groove 607 and the post-crime projection piece 474 can further prevent the unauthorized tool from entering the game area 605 of the game board 4. Note that a vertical surface between the post-crime protrusion 474 and the rear-end protrusion 475 on the back side of the security cover 470 is formed by the outer rail 602 and the inner rail 603 with the door frame 5 closed. Since it covers the lower part of the front surface of the guide path of the hit ball, it also has a function of preventing the hit ball that jumps or reverses the guide path portion from hitting the glass plate 452.

Next, the main body frame 3 in the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 67 to 75. 67 is a front view of the main body frame main body 500 before mounting the parts, FIG. 68 is a rear view of the main body frame main body 500 before mounting the parts, and FIG. 69 is a main body frame main body before mounting the parts. FIG. 70 is a perspective view seen from the back side of the main body frame main body 500 before mounting the parts, and FIG. 71 is a perspective view seen from the front of the main body frame 3 to which the parts are attached. 72 is a perspective view of the state in which the main body frame 3 to which the parts are attached is pivotally supported on the outer frame 2, and FIG. 73 is a rear view of the main body frame 3 to which the parts are attached. FIG. 75 is a perspective view seen from the back of the main body frame 3 to which components are attached, and FIG. 75 is a cross-sectional plan view of the pachinko machine cut along the horizontal line in the middle of the pachinko machine 1 (main control board box 624 portion). .

  The main body frame 3 of the present embodiment has a game board 4 that can be detachably mounted from the front side, a hitting ball launching device 650, a prize ball tank 720 for delivering a prize ball, a tank rail member 740, and a ball path unit. 770, a prize ball unit 800 (corresponding to a payout unit of the present invention), a full unit 900, a locking device 1000 for locking the main body frame 3 to the outer frame 2 and a door frame 5 to the main body frame 3, and a game board 4, a board unit 1100 in which various control boards for controlling electrical components provided in the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 except 4, a power supply board 1136, and the like are provided together, and a cover body 1250 that covers the rear opening 580. And a main body frame main body 500 on which various components such as these are mounted.

  First, the main body frame main body 500 on which the above-described various components are mounted and the main body frame 3 on which the various components are mounted will be described. In FIG. 67, an upper shaft support bracket 503 and a lower shaft support bracket 509 (both see FIG. 71) for attaching and closing the main body frame 3 to the outer frame 2 are attached on one side of the main body frame main body 500. In the state where the upper shaft bracket 503 and the lower shaft bracket 509 are mounted on the shaft bracket mounting steps 501 and 502, the upper side and the side of the main body frame main body 500 are formed. The sides are substantially flush with the upper sides and sides of the upper shaft support 503, and the lower and sides of the main body frame main body 500 are substantially flush with the lower sides and sides of the lower shaft support 509 (see FIG. 73). Here, the upper shaft bracket 503 and the lower shaft bracket 509 will be described with reference to FIGS. 71 and 73. The upper shaft support fitting 503 has a mounting portion on the back surface of the main body frame main body 500, and its upper end protrudes forward. A shaft support pin 504 is erected and fixed on the upper surface protruding forward, and the shaft support pin 504 A door shaft support hole 505 is formed on the side.

  On the other hand, the lower shaft support 509 has a mounting portion on the back surface of the main body frame main body 500, and two support plates 506 and 507 are integrally projected on the lower end side and slightly on the upper side. The lower support plate 506 constitutes a frame support plate 506 for supporting the main body frame 3 on the lower support fitting 66 of the outer frame 2, and the upper support plate 507 is provided on the door frame 5. A door support plate 507 for supporting the lower shaft support portion 148 on the main body frame 3 is configured. For this reason, a shaft support hole (not shown) for inserting the support protrusion 68 of the lower support fitting 66 of the outer frame 2 is formed in the frame support plate 506, and the lower support portion 148 of the door frame 5 is formed in the door support plate 507. A shaft support hole 508 for inserting the projecting shaft pin 147 is formed.

  By the way, the main body frame main body 500 is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and about 3/4 of the upper part thereof is a game board installation recess 510 (see FIG. 71) for installing the game board 4. A slightly recessed area below the game board installation recess 510 is a plate portion 511. In addition, the front upper side portion and the front open side portion on the front side surrounding the game board installation recess 510 are formed with a predetermined width so as to face the rear surface of the door frame 5, An upper crime prevention double groove 581 is formed by a protrusion protruding in parallel with the lateral direction, and a side crime prevention groove 582 is formed on the outer side and on the inner side of the front opening side edge on the right side when viewed from the front. A security recess 583 is formed which is formed by an inner wall having an inclined surface that is connected to the first side wall 540 at the rear end. Unlike the side part, it is not formed so as to have a predetermined width that faces the back surface of the door frame 5, but the front shaft support side part of the main body frame main body 500 is more forward than the front upper side part or the front open side part. The shaft support side portion 587 (see FIG. 110) has a large protrusion amount.

  More specifically, the upper crime prevention double groove 581 formed on the upper side of the front surface is bent toward the rear with both long side ends of the upper reinforcing sheet metal 141 attached and fixed to the back side of the upper side of the door frame 5. The bent projecting pieces 155 and 156 are inserted respectively. Further, the side security grooves 582 and the security recesses 583 formed on the front open side edges are folded back toward the rear at both long side ends of the open side reinforcing sheet metal 143 attached and fixed to the open back of the door frame 5. The open-side outer bent protrusion 153 and the open-side inner bent protrusion 154 to be bent are respectively inserted. Further, on the shaft support side portion 587 of the front shaft support side portion, the tip end of the shaft support side L-shaped bent protrusion 157 of the shaft support side reinforcing sheet metal 142 attached and fixed to the shaft support side rear surface of the door frame 5 is provided. The parts come into contact.

  Further, the above-described structure can prevent an illegal act of inserting a fraudulent tool such as a piano wire through the gap between the contact surfaces of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, and in particular, the open side where the fraudulent act is most likely to be performed. It has a structure that can prevent fraud at the side and then at the upper side where fraud is likely to be performed. Of course, the prevention of fraud by the contact between the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 142 on the support side and the support-side L-shaped bent protrusion 157 also works well, but in many cases the support side is sturdy. Since the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 are connected to each other by the support brackets 45 and 66 and the shaft support brackets 503 and 509, the space between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 is larger than that of the upper side and the open side. It is difficult to make a gap. For this reason, in this embodiment, not a double crime prevention structure but a single crime prevention structure. These points will be described in detail later.

  In addition to the configuration described above, the front upper side, front open side, and front pivot side on the front side surrounding the game board installation recess 510 are arranged on the upper, middle, and lower sides of the front open side. A door hook hole 549 for allowing a door hook portion 1041 (see FIG. 121) provided in a lock device 1000 (described later) attached to the open side rear surface of the main body frame 3 to protrude forward is opened. In addition, a board positioning protrusion 576 for engaging with a positioning recess 611 formed in the game board 4 is provided on the inner side surface of the front shaft support side. Further, the pivot side L-shaped bent projection piece 157 of the pivot side reinforcement sheet metal 142 with the door frame 5 closed on the inner front surface of the lower side position of the panel positioning projection 576 on the front side pivot side side part. Two upper and lower restricting projections 577 into which the tip is inserted are provided. The operation of the restricting protrusion 577 is as described above. In addition, as shown in FIG. 67, a board stopper insertion hole into which an end of a game board stopper 614 provided on the game board 4 is engaged above and below the boundary between the open-side flat portion and the game board installation recess 510. 578 is formed.

  Next, the configuration of the plate portion 511 will be described with reference to FIGS. The upper surface of the plate portion 511 is a game board placement section 512 for placing the game board 4, and when the game board 4 is placed at the approximate center of the game board placement section 512, the game board 4 is provided with a passage support protrusion 513 that supports the lower surface of the out port 606 (see FIG. 76) formed in the base plate 4. Further, as shown in FIG. 67, a rail mounting boss 514 protrudes from the central portion of the front surface of the plate portion 511 toward the open side end portion at a predetermined interval, and the launch rail 515 ( 71) is fixed with screws. Further, a rail connection member 516 protrudes from the front surface of the plate portion 511 corresponding to the tip position of the launch rail 515, and when the game board 4 is installed in the game board installation recess 510, the inner rail of the game board 4 is provided. It is adjacent to the connection passage portion 609 (see FIG. 76) which is the downstream end of 603.

  Further, an upper end of an elliptical game board fixture 519 (see FIG. 71) for fixing the lower part of the game board 4 at a side position of the rail connection member 516 (position opposite to the firing rail 515). A fixing tool mounting boss 517 for mounting is protruded, and a stopper 518 is protruded obliquely below. In other words, the game board fixing tool 519 is provided so as to be rotatable about the fixing tool mounting boss 517, and rotates in the clockwise direction in a state where the game board 4 is placed on the game board mounting portion 512, thereby playing the game board. The fixture 519 is pressed against the front surface of the game board 4 to fix the game board 4. Further, when removing the game board, it can be easily performed by turning the game board fixture 519 counterclockwise and removing it. In this case, the game board fixture 519 is prevented from being rotated counterclockwise by the stopper 518.

  In addition, the lower part of the open side of the plate part 511 is formed with a rectangular parallelepiped launching device mounting portion 520 that projects in a bulging shape toward the front side (which is concave when viewed from the back side). A hitting ball launcher 650 is fixed to the mounting portion 520 from the back surface of the main body frame main body 500. This will be described in detail later. A handle connection window 522 that houses a slide member 710 (see FIG. 95) that is linked to the slide protrusion 183 of the joint unit 180 described above is formed on the front wall portion of the launcher mounting portion 520 described above. A shaft hole 523 is formed at the position adjacent to the handle connection window 522 so that the end surface of the bearing 689 (see FIG. 91) of the ball striking rod 687 faces. In addition, the upper wall portion of the launching device mounting portion 520 is formed with a notch-shaped through-hole opening 521 for projecting the hitting ball rod 687 of the hitting ball launching device 650 upward. Is formed with a cylinder lock through hole 526 through which the cylinder lock 1010 of the lock device 1000 passes.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 68, on the back surface of the plate portion 511, a ball discharge passage 524 is formed extending from the upper portion on the shaft support side toward the central portion of the plate portion 511 and then going downward. . The ball discharge passage 524 is for discharging a ball discharged from a ball connection passage 880 (see FIG. 71), which will be described later, from below the pachinko machine 1 into the island. In addition, a cylindrical guide protrusion 525 protrudes rearward from the above-described launcher mounting portion 520, and a guide hole 1212 (see FIG. 128) of the substrate unit 1100 described later is formed in the guide protrusion 525. The board unit 1100 is easily attached by being inserted. Also, mounting holes 527 for mounting the board unit 1100 with screws are formed on the left and right and upper and lower sides of the plate part 511, and the mounting pieces 1122 of the board unit 1100 are made to correspond to the mounting holes 527 and fastened with screws. In addition, a launching device mounting boss 529 for mounting the hitting ball launching device 650 is projected rearwardly inside the concave shape of the launching device mounting portion 520, and the lowermost end portion on the open side is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, a guide protrusion with a tapered tip and a vertically long shape is provided to guide the closing operation of the main body frame 3 while contacting the upper surface of the decorative cover plate 15. 528 protrudes rearward.

  In addition to the configuration described above, the plate portion 511 is formed with a ball removal connection opening 530 which is an opening at the upstream end of the ball removal discharge passage 524 on the upper surface of the end portion on the shaft support side, as shown in FIG. . A downstream end of the ball removal connection passage 880 is connected to the ball removal connection opening 530. Further, the portion adjacent to the ball-opening connection opening 530 is horizontal so that the full unit mounting portion 531 for mounting the full unit 900 (see FIG. 71), which will be described in detail later, is orthogonal to the plate portion 511. A unit engagement groove 532 that engages with an engagement piece 924 (see FIG. 111) of the full tank unit 900 is formed in the front portion of the full unit mounting portion 531. Further, as shown in FIG. 71, an outlet for damming a prize ball discharged from the outlet 921 of the full tank unit 900 when the door frame 5 is opened is provided on the front surface of the plate part 511 in front of the full unit mounting part 531. An opening / closing device 579 is provided.

  Although the outlet opening / closing device 579 is not described in detail, when the door frame 5 is closed, the opening / closing plate is lowered by a lever that contacts the back surface of the door frame 5, but the door plate 5 is opened. Then, the contact with the lever disappears, so that the opening / closing plate rises and closes the outlet 921. For this reason, even when the door frame 5 is opened, the prize balls stored in the full tank unit 900 do not fall down from the outlet 921. In addition, as shown in FIG. 71, a fastening hole penetrating vertically in a position corresponding to the upper side of the launching portion of the firing rail 515 in the game board mounting portion 512 formed along the upper end side of the plate portion 511. 533 is formed, and a fastening link 534 for holding the fastening band 619 is passed to the front portion of the fastening hole 533. The fastening linkage 534 is a mechanism for preventing the game board 4 from being detached from the main body frame 3.

  Next, the structure of the game board installation recessed part 510 is demonstrated. The game board installation recess 510 is provided around a first side wall 540 that is provided in a rearward direction from the inner side surface on the pivot support side, the above-described upper side portion, and the open side surface portion, and a rear side provided from the first side wall 540. The main body frame 3 includes a second side wall 541, a third side wall 542 that is provided rearward from the second side wall 541, and a fourth side wall 543 that is provided rearward from the third side wall 542. The left and right sides and the rear side of the upper side are formed in a concave shape.

  The first side wall 540 to the fourth side wall 543 are formed such that the upper side and the right side (sides on the shaft support side) are straightly extended rearward with a step when viewed from the back, whereas the left side ( The open side is formed in a stepped shape (see FIG. 75) that inwardly slopes from the first side wall 540 toward the fourth side wall 543. This is because the rear end of the fourth side wall 543 is opened when the main body frame 3 is opened when the first side wall 540 to the fourth side wall 543 on the left side (side on the open side) are straightly formed rearward. May be in contact with the inner surface of the side frame plate 13 of the outer frame 2 so that it cannot be opened smoothly. Therefore, the first side wall surface 540 to the fourth side wall 543 on the open side can be smoothly opened by inclining inside. It is something that can be done.

  At the same time, the lock device 1000 is attached along the first side wall 540 on the open side, and the attachment is made using a lock attachment hole 547 (see FIG. 117) provided in the rear end side of the first side wall 540. Therefore, in order to form the lock mounting hole 547, the fourth side wall 543 is formed in an inclined step shape from the first side wall 540 on the open side. Furthermore, as for the step size of the first side wall 540 to the fourth side wall 543, the step between the first side wall 540 and the second side wall 541 needs to be in contact with the periphery of the back surface of the game board 4 described later. For this reason, it is formed with a somewhat large step, but the other steps are extremely small steps. Of course, the second side wall 541 to the fourth side wall 543 may be formed continuously without forming a step.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 69, the side walls 540 to 543 are formed so as to have depth width dimensions d1, d2, d3, and d4, respectively, and in this embodiment, d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 = about 135 mm. . In particular, the width dimension d1 of the first side wall 540 corresponds to the thickness of the game board 4, and the game board is formed in the space formed by the remaining second side wall 541, third side wall 542, and fourth side wall 543. The rear projecting portions of various gaming devices provided in 4 are accommodated.

  That is, the first side wall 540 constitutes a front side wall having a depth dimension substantially the same as the thickness of the game board 4, and the second side wall 541 to the fourth side wall 543 are in contact with the rear surface of the peripheral part of the game board 4. A rear side wall that has a stepped portion that contacts the rear side wall of the gaming device 4 that extends from the first side wall 540 in a rearward direction substantially parallel to the first side wall 540 and that is provided on the game board 4; It constitutes. In particular, in the case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the rearward protruding amounts of all the parts of the second side wall 541 to the fourth side wall 543 are fixed to the upper part on the back side of the main body frame 3. It is formed so as to be at substantially the same position as the rear wall 722 of the storage portion 728 for storing the balls of the prize ball tank 720.

  Thereby, since the size of the space formed by the second side wall 541, the third side wall 542, and the fourth side wall 543 is secured up to a position corresponding to the peripheral portion of the game board 4, for example, a game Even in the case where a gaming device is installed in which the liquid crystal display screen occupies substantially the entire area of the board 4, the rearward protruding portion of such a gaming device can be easily stored.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 68 and 70, from the rear end side of the fourth side wall 543 to the left side (open side), the upper side and the right side (shaft support side) when viewed from the back side, the open side rear wall 544, An upper rear wall 545 and a pivot support side rear wall 546 as a rear wall are provided so as to protrude inward so as to be parallel to the front surface of the pachinko machine. The shaft support side rear wall 546 has a flat front surface (see FIG. 67), and a ball path unit 770 (to be described later) and a prize ball unit 800 constituting a ball payout mechanism are detachably mounted on the rear surface. It is supposed to be. Therefore, the width of the projecting width toward the inside of the pivot support side rear wall 546 is sufficient if the ball passage unit 770 and the prize ball unit 800 are wide enough to be mounted.

  Further, the front surface of the upper rear wall 545 has a flat plate shape (see FIG. 67), and a tank rail member 740, which will be described later, is attached to the rear surface thereof. Therefore, it is sufficient for the projecting width to the inside of the upper rear wall 545 if there is a height width dimension of the tank rail member 740 attached in an inclined manner. Furthermore, the front surface of the open-side rear wall 544 has a flat plate shape (see FIG. 67), and a cover body support cylinder portion 575 that pivotally supports a cover body 1250 described later is formed on the rear surface. Accordingly, it is sufficient that the width of the projecting width toward the inside of the open-side rear wall 544 is a width that forms the cover body support cylinder 575.

  As described above, the front surfaces of the open-side rear wall 544, the upper rear wall 545, and the pivot-side rear wall 546 that project inward from the rear end side of the fourth side wall 543 are formed in a flat plate shape. Since the flat plate portion corresponds to the peripheral portion of the game board 4, as described above, the second side wall 541, the third side wall 542, and the fourth side wall to the position corresponding to the peripheral portion of the game board 4. Since the size of the space formed by 543 is ensured, for example, even when a gaming device is attached such that the liquid crystal display screen occupies substantially the entire area of the gaming board 4, The rear projecting portion can be easily stored. Note that the insides of the open-side rear wall 544, the upper rear wall 545, and the pivot support-side rear wall 546 form a rear opening 580 so that the rear opening 580 can be opened and closed by a cover body 1250 described later. It has become.

  Next, a more detailed configuration of the game board mounting recess 510 will be described. As described above, the door hook hole 549 through which the door frame hook portion 1041 of the lock device 1000 passes is formed on the open side plane portion. There are three places in the middle and bottom, but a lock locking hole 548 (see FIG. 68) into which a locking projection 1004 (described later) of the lock device 1000 is engaged further above, below, and below the upper and lower door hook holes 549. ) Is formed. Further, the lock device 1000 is attached along the first side wall 540 on the open side, and a lock attachment hole 547 (see FIG. 68) for attaching the lock device 1000 with a screw is provided at the rear end of the first side wall 540. It is formed in the upper part and the middle. It should be noted that the locking device 1000 is attached not only at the upper and middle positions, but also at a screw mounting portion 543 formed in a lock mounting piece 1008 described later and a lock mounting hole 547 formed in the vicinity of the cylinder lock through hole 526. And the lower part of the locking device 1000 can be attached.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 70, on the left and right in front of the upper side of the first side wall 540, when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the inner peripheral surface of the upper frame plate 10 of the outer frame 2 A guide arc projection 552 that abuts is provided, and a relief recess 551 that communicates with a notch 729 of a prize ball tank 720, which will be described later, is formed at the center of the rear end side of the first side wall 540. A tank mounting groove 550 is formed on a vertical surface connected to the side wall 541. When the mounting flange 733 of the prize ball tank 720 is attached to the tank attachment groove 550, the notch 729 of the prize ball tank 720 communicates with the escape recess 551 as shown in FIG. When the ball pressure of the sphere stored in the tank increases, the pressure is released to prevent clogging. When the prize ball tank 720 is attached to the main body frame 3, the rear side wall 722 on the back side and the rear end side of the fourth side wall 543 are substantially coincident when viewed from the front side of the prize ball tank 720 in plan view (FIG. 4). See). The guide arc projection 552 described above lifts the main body frame 3 by bringing the upper side of the main body frame 3 into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the upper frame plate 10 of the outer frame 2 and the decorative cover plate. 15 is formed to prevent a fraudulent act such as forming a gap with 15 and inserting a fraudulent instrument through the gap.

  Further, the above-described upper rear wall 545 is formed with a rail locking groove 553 for attaching the tank rail member 740 along the opening edge of the rear opening 580, and the fourth side wall 543 and the upper rear wall. A rail locking groove 554 is formed in the bent portion of 545. The tank rail member 740 can be attached to the main body frame 3 by locking the locking protrusions 749, 750 (see FIG. 99) of the tank rail member 740 in the rail locking grooves 553, 554. Further, a rail latching elastic piece 555 is formed on the upper portion of the upper rear wall 545 corresponding to the downstream side when the tank rail member 740 is attached, and the tank rail member 740 is locked in the rail locking grooves 553 and 554. When the projecting pieces 749 and 750 are locked and the tank rail member 740 is attached to the main body frame 3, the rail latching elastic piece 555 is arranged at the upper end on the downstream side of the tank rail member 740 so that the locked state is not released. It comes in contact with the top.

  When the tank rail member 740 is removed, the rail rail elastic member 555 is pressed backward, and then the tank rail is released to release the locking state between the rail locking grooves 553 and 554 and the locking protrusions 749 and 750. The member 740 may be lifted upward.

The face wall 546 is detachably attached. This detachable configuration will be described in detail later.

  In addition, a cover body contact groove 567 into which the open side end of the cover body 1250 enters is formed at the open end of the pivot support side rear wall 546 and below the cover body contact groove 567. A locking wall 569 is provided in a protruding manner. The cover body abutment groove 567 is formed with stop holes 568 corresponding to the stop holes 1253 of the cover body 1250 (see FIGS. 74 and 139), and these stop holes 1253 and 568 are not shown in the figure. By fastening with screws, the rear opening 580 of the main body frame 3 can be closed and fixed by the cover body 1250. The locking wall 569 is provided with a U-shaped locking protruding hook piece 570 in a plan view, and the locking protruding hook piece 570 is attached to the cover body 1250 with the cover body 1250 closed with respect to the main body frame 3. Only the responsible person having the padlock key can open the cover body 1250 by penetrating the formed through-hole 1254 (see FIG. 74) and hooking a lock such as a padlock on the locking protrusion 570. Can not be.

  As mentioned above, although the structure of the main body frame main body 500 which consists of the game board installation recessed part 510 and the board part 511 was demonstrated, when the door frame 5 was closed to the lowest end side part of the board part 511 other than having demonstrated above. In addition, engagement grooves 584 and 585 (see FIG. 67) into which door frame protrusions 110d and 110e (see FIG. 25) bent downward with the lower side of the door frame base main body 110 bent rearward are formed. Yes. The engagement groove 584 is a groove formed below the firing device mounting portion 520 described above, and the engagement groove 585 is a groove formed from one end of the engagement groove 584 toward the shaft support side. Note that the door frame protrusion 110d corresponding to the engagement groove 585 protrudes rearward so as to be larger than the protrusion amount of the door frame protrusion 110e corresponding to the engagement groove 584. However, a door frame protrusion 110d with a large amount of protrusion is slightly formed at the lower end of the open end. The door frame protruding pieces 110d and 110e and the engaging grooves 584 and 585 constitute the outer protrusions and engaging portions on the lower side portions of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3.

  As described above, the plate portion 511 is provided with the launch rail 515 and the outlet opening / closing device 579, and the rail connection member 516 and the launch device attachment portion 520 are formed to project, but the launch device attachment portion 520 and the launch rail 515 are provided. The position of the plate portion 511 is biased toward the open side, and they are formed so as to protrude from the surface of the plate portion 511. For this reason, in a state where the door frame 5 is closed, the region from the substantially central portion of the plate portion 511 on which the launching device mounting portion 520 and the firing rail 515 are arranged to the open side is the rear surface of the door frame 5 and the launching device mounting portion. 520 and the front surface of the launch rail 515 are in close contact with each other. It is extremely difficult to make the gap between the launcher mounting portion 520 and the front surface of the launch rail 515 even better and reach the front side of the game board 4 or the back side of the game board 4.

  On the other hand, since the region from the substantially central portion of the plate portion 511 where the launcher mounting portion 520 and the firing rail 515 are not arranged to the shaft support side does not have a portion protruding on the surface of the plate portion 511, the door frame 5 is closed. In this case, a space 586 is generated between the back surface of the door frame 5 and the front surface of the plate portion 511. For this reason, an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire that has passed through the gap between the door frame protrusion 110d and the engagement groove 584 can easily open the space 586 between the back surface of the door frame 5 and the front surface of the plate portion 511. In order to prevent unauthorized tools from slipping through the space 586 upward, the mounting base 160 attached to the lower part of the back surface of the door frame 5 has a space 586 in a state where the door frame 5 is closed. Crime prevention protrusions 166 are formed to invade. The security protrusion 166 is formed on the mounting base 160 so as to extend from substantially the middle of the plate portion 511 to the end portion on the shaft support side. Therefore, the space below the outer rail 602 attached to the launch rail 515 and the game board 4 constitutes a crime prevention space 586 that receives the crime prevention protrusion 166 protruding from the mounting base 160. The security protrusion 166 and the security space 586 constitute an inner protrusion and engagement portion at the lower side of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3.

  As described above, the main body frame 3 includes the game board 4, the hit ball launching device 650, the prize ball tank 720, the tank rail member 740, the ball passage unit 770, the prize ball unit 800, the full tank unit 900, the lock device 1000, and the board unit. 1100 and the cover body 1250 are attached, and these will be sequentially described below.

Further, FIG. 85 is a perspective view showing obliquely from behind with the main control board box fixed to the board holder. FIG. 86 is an exploded perspective view showing the board substrate holder, drawer holder, and main control board box in FIG. FIG. 87 is a schematic diagram of an exploded perspective view of the function display unit in the game board. FIG. 88 is a schematic view of the function display sticker, and FIG. 89 is a partial view of the function display sticker of the game board through the game window.

  As shown in FIGS. 76 to 79, the game board 4 of the present embodiment includes a game panel 600 formed of a wooden plywood such as a veneer board having a substantially square outer shape and a predetermined thickness, and a front surface of the game panel 600. And a function display unit 640 (see FIG. 87 and the like) fixed to the rear side of the front component member 601, which is attached so as to surround the game area 605. The rear end of the game area 605 is partitioned.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 82 to 83, the gaming board 4 of the second embodiment includes a transparent plate-like gaming panel 600A, a panel holder 630 that holds the gaming panel 600A and has a substantially square outer shape, The front component member 601 is attached to the front surface of the game panel 600A via the holder 630, and the function display unit 640 is fixed to the front component member 601, and the game panel 600 of the first embodiment is While being divided into a transparent gaming panel 600A and a panel holder 630, the front component member 601 and the function display unit 640 have the same configuration as in the first embodiment.

  Various game devices and a number of obstacle nails (all not shown) are planted in the game area 605 on the surface of the game panels 600 and 600A. The front component 601 is attached to the front surface of the panel holder 630 after those gaming devices and obstacle nails are provided. The front component 601 is a hollow cavity that surrounds the outer periphery of the game area 605. And the outer shape is formed in a shape along the outer shape of the panel holder 630, and an arc surface extending from the middle of the lower side to the diagonally upper side past the center of the upper side is formed as the outer rail 602. An inner rail 603 is formed from the lower position of the stopper 620 provided at the end of 602 to the position where the symmetrical backflow prevention member 604 of the upper stopper 620 is provided. The outer rail 602 is formed with a connecting passage portion 609 connected to a rail connecting member 516 provided in an extension shape of the firing rail 515 at the start end portion thereof, and a foul port adjacent to the connecting passage portion 609. 610 is formed. In addition, a metal rail is closely attached to the outer rail 602 from the upstream end of the foul port 610 to the stop portion 620.

  The stopper 620 is provided with an elastic body of rubber or synthetic resin so that when a hit ball that has slid on the outer rail 602 collides with force, the hit ball hits the inside of the game area 605. The backflow prevention member 604 prevents the hit ball, which is fired at one end and taken inside the game area 605, from flowing back to the outer rail 602 again. Further, a security protrusion 608 is provided on one side of the lower portion of the outer rail 602 so as to extend along a part of the metal rail. The security protrusion 608 overlaps with the rear end protrusion 475 of the security rear end projecting on the security cover 470 in the state in which the door frame 5 is closed, and overlaps with the axis of the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5. It prevents intrusion of unauthorized tools such as a piano wire inserted from slightly below the middle of the support side gap.

  Further, an out port 606 is provided at the center of the lower portion of the inner rail 603, and the hit ball hits the game area 605 between the inner rail 603 and the outer rail 602 from the out port 606 to the backflow prevention member 604. Although it constitutes a guided passage to be guided, the hit ball that has flowed back through the outer rail 602 without reaching the game area 605 is taken into the foul port 610 and guided to the foul ball inlet 923 of the full tank unit 900 described later. Then, it is discharged again to the dish unit 300. The game area 605 is an area substantially surrounded by the inner rail 603. In addition, a rail security groove 607 is formed in the front component member 601 on the way from the out port 606 of the inner rail 603 to the stop 620. The rail security groove 607 is formed in a groove shape so that a part of the post-crime projection piece 474 protruding from the security cover 470 enters as described above with the door frame 5 closed. Due to the concavo-convex engagement between the rail crime prevention groove 607 and the post-crime projection piece 474, the piano wire or the like that is inserted from the middle of the gap on the open side of the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 overlaps vertically. This will ultimately prevent the tool from entering.

  By the way, a positioning recess 611 is formed on one side of the game board 4 to be fitted into a board positioning protrusion 576 formed on the main body frame 3, and a board formed on the main body frame 3 is formed on the other side of the game board 4. A game board stopper 614 to be inserted into the stopper insertion hole 578 is provided. The end of the game board stopper 614 is inserted into the board stopper insertion hole 578 when the game board stopper 614 is pressed and fixed. Thus, in order to fix the game board 4 to the main body frame 3, after inserting the positioning recess 611 from the front side of the main body frame 3 so as to be fitted to the board positioning protrusion 576, The whole is pushed into the first side wall 540 of the main body frame 3, the game board stopper 614 that is free in that state is pushed in and fixed, and the end portion is inserted into the board stopper insertion hole 578 and fixed. . Thereafter, the game board fixing tool 519 is rotated to fix the lower front surface of the game board 4. As a result, the game board 4 can be easily attached to the main body frame 3. In order to remove the game board 4, the game board 4 may be removed in the reverse order of the above procedure.

  In addition, the game board 4 in the present embodiment has a configuration that prevents unauthorized removal of the game board 4 from the main body frame 3 very easily. That is, as shown in FIGS. 76 and 80, a mounting notch 616 that penetrates the gaming board 4 in the front-rear direction is formed at the lower end opposite to the passage notch 613 below the gaming board 4 (more precisely, A mounting notch 616 is formed in the front component 601.) A fastening bar 617 is stretched and fixed in the horizontal direction below the mounting notch 616. The fastening bar 617 is formed with a band groove-like fastening portion 618 for latching the fastening band 619 at the approximate center thereof. On the other hand, as the removal preventing mechanism provided in the main body frame 3, as described above, it is the game board mounting portion 512 formed along the upper end side of the plate portion 511 below the main body frame 3, and the firing rail 515 is fired. A fastening hole 533 penetrating in the vertical direction is formed at a position corresponding to the upper portion of the portion, and a fastening linkage 534 for hanging the fastening band 619 is passed to the front portion of the fastening hole 533 (see FIG. 81). reference).

Next, the ball hitting device 650 will be described with reference to FIGS. 90 to 95. FIG. 90 is an overall perspective view (A) of the hit ball launching device 650, a perspective view (B) with the launch motor portion removed, and FIG. 91 is an exploded perspective view of the hit ball launching device 650, FIG. These are the front view (A) which shows the relationship between the hit ball launcher 650 and the launch rail 515, and the perspective view (B) of the launch motor part, and FIG. 93 is the hit ball launch in the state where the operation handle 410 is not operated. 94 is a rear view showing the relationship between the device 650 and the firing rail 515, and FIG. 94 is a rear view showing the relationship between the ball hitting device 650 and the firing rail 515 in a state where the operation handle portion 410 is being operated. 95 is a plan view (A), a front view (B), a perspective view (C) from the front, and a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A (D) of the front view (B) of the slide member 710 provided in the ball hitting device 650. It is.

  The hitting ball launching device 650 pivotally supports a hitting ball rod 687 on the firing base frame 651 and attaches a shot motor 695 that gives reciprocating rotation to the hitting ball rod 687 to the firing base frame 651, and further hits the hitting ball rod 687. The firing base frame 651 is provided with a slide rod 677 and a slide member 710 that adjust the urging force of the urging spring 684 that imparts the urging force that returns to the position.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 91, the launch base frame 651 is molded into a horizontally long rectangular shape with a synthetic resin, and a bearing in which a bearing 689 of a ball striking rod 687 is fitted at substantially the center thereof. A cylinder 652 is formed, and rubber stopper members 653 and 654 for restricting the firing origin position of the hitting ball 687 are attached and fixed to the upper part and the side thereof. That is, the rubber stopper members 653 and 654 receive the impact of the hitting ball rod 687 when the hitting ball rod 687 returns to the firing origin position by the biasing force of the biasing spring 684. In addition, a slide guide hole 655 having a horizontally elongated groove is formed on the rear side of the firing base frame 651 (on the opposite side of the portion corresponding to the lower side of the firing rail 515), and a slide member storage space is formed below the slide guide hole 655. 656 is formed.

  The slide guide hole 655 is configured to guide a slide movement of the slide rod 677 by inserting a guide locking piece 678 protruding from an upper rear end of a slide rod 677 described later. The slide member 710 is accommodated so as to be movable in the left-right direction. The slide guide of the front portion of the slide rod 677 is guided by a guide bush 681 fixed to a guide hole 680 formed in front of the slide rod 677 in a stop hole 662 formed in the firing base frame 651 by a set screw 682. This is done by penetrating through. In addition, a rectangular connection opening 664 is formed on the bottom surface of the slide member storage space 656 as shown in FIG.

  Further, a hook portion is formed on the front portion of the upper side of the firing base frame 651 with respect to the main body of the firing base frame 651, and an operating piece opening 657 is formed in the hook portion above the bearing cylinder 652. Yes. In this working piece opening 657, a weight 173 of a ball feeding member 172 (see FIG. 18) provided facing the hitting ball supply port 171b (see FIG. 18) on the downstream side of the dish unit 300 of the door frame 5. Is provided on a mounting portion 660 that protrudes from the rear upper part of the opening edge of the working piece opening 657 by a stop pin 659. The operating piece 658 is formed in a “te” shape, the rear end portion of the upper side thereof is pivotally supported by a stop pin 659, and the base plate rotates integrally with the ball striking rod 687 from the pivotal support portion to the arc portion below. 690 is in contact with an operating piece abutting portion 693 provided in a projecting manner at 690, and the upper side portion swings the ball feeding member 172 in conjunction with the reciprocating motion of the hitting ball rod 687. One hit ball that flows out from 171b is supplied to the launch position of launch rail 515 one by one.

  Further, on the firing base frame 651, motor mounting bosses 661 for fixing a motor cover 694 containing the firing motor 695 are projected in a total of three locations, two at the rear lower part and one at the front upper part. At the same time, a swinging piece boss 663 into which a shaft hole 673 at the lower end of the swinging piece 672 connected to the slide member 710 is inserted in a protruding manner is provided at the lower rear of the slide member storage space 656. ing.

  A metal plate 665 is attached to the above-described launch base frame 651 so that the hit ball launcher 650 has high rigidity. Therefore, the metal plate 665 has through-holes 666, 667, 668, 669, which correspond to the bearing cylinder 652, the lower rubber stopper member 653, the slide guide hole 655, the guide bush 681, and the swing piece boss 663, respectively. A horizontal oblong through hole 670 through which the connecting convex portion 712 of the slide member 710 passes is also formed. In the metal plate 665 configured as described above, after the slide member 710 is stored in the slide member storage space 656, each of the through holes 666 to 671 has the corresponding members 652, 653, 655, 681, 712, 663. It is fixed to the firing base frame 651 by being brought into close contact with the firing base frame 651 so as to penetrate or match with the screws.

  The tip of the swing piece boss 663 of the firing base frame 651 to which the metal plate 665 is attached protrudes from the through hole 671, and the shaft hole 673 of the swing piece 672 is inserted into the head portion. The swing piece 672 is pivotally supported so as to be swingable about the lower end. As shown in FIG. 91, the swinging piece 672 is formed in a vertically long bowl shape, a shaft hole 673 is formed at the lower end thereof, and the connecting convex portion 712 of the slide member 710 is inserted in the middle thereof. The connecting hole 674 is formed. The front surface above the connection hole 674 is an abutting portion 675 that abuts one end (rear end) of the slide rod 677. Thus, the rocking piece 672 is inserted into the rocking piece boss 663 and the connecting hole 674 is inserted into the connecting convex portion 712 of the slide member 710 protruding from the through hole 670 to connect the pin 676 with washer. The rocking piece 672 is attached to the firing base frame 651 by being fixed to the convex portion 712. The attached swinging piece 672 swings at the upper part around the lower end as the slide member 710 slides.

  Further, a horizontally long bowl-shaped slide bar 677 is attached to the upper front surface of the metal plate 665 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. That is, an L-shaped guide locking piece 678 projecting from the rear upper part of the slide rod 677 is engaged with the through hole 668 of the metal plate 665, and the guide elongated hole 680 formed in front of the slide rod 677 is engaged. The guide bush 681 having the set screw 682 is passed through, and the set screw 682 is fixed to the set hole 662. The slide hook 677 is slidably mounted on the firing base frame 651 via the metal plate 665 by the guide locking piece 678 and the through hole 668, and the guide long hole 680 and the guide bush 681. The slide rod 677 is formed with a contacted portion 679 that contacts the contact portion 675 of the swing piece 672 described above at one end (rear end), and one end of the biasing spring 684 at the other end (front end). A spring locking portion 683 for hooking the locking ring 685 is projected.

  A bearing cylinder 652 of the launch base frame 651 to which the metal plate 665 is attached protrudes from the through hole 666, and the bearing cylinder 652 is fitted so that the bearing 689 of the hitting ball rod 687 does not fall off. The lower end portion of the hit ball 687 is fixed to the shaft of the bearing 689 and, at the same time, the base plate 690 is fixed. An operating piece abutting portion 693 that abuts against the operating piece 658 protrudes from the front back surface side of the base plate 690, and a spring for latching the locking ring 686 at the other end of the biasing spring 684 on the front front surface thereof. A locking portion 692 is projected, and a motor contact projection 691 that engages with and disengages from the motor cam 697 of the firing motor 695 is projected from the rear front surface thereof. A synthetic resin rivet tip 688 is fixed to the upper end of the hitting ball 687, and the firing position formed by the lower end portion of the firing rail 515 and the firing position stopper 702 secured above the tip 688. I am going to rush into.

  On the other hand, a firing motor 695 housed in a motor cover 694 is attached to the above-described motor mounting boss 661 of the firing base frame 651. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 92 (B), the motor cover 694 includes a cylindrical portion formed so as to accommodate the firing motor 695 therein, and an enlarged motor mounting boss 661 that extends forward of the cylindrical portion. And an anti-rotation preventing cam 698 and a motor cam 697 at the tip of the motor shaft 696 of the firing motor 695 that are integrally formed and are accommodated inside the cylindrical portion. Is fixed.

  A large number of reverse teeth are formed on the outer periphery of the reverse rotation prevention cam 698, and engages with a stopper piece 700 (see FIG. 93) fixed to the stopper piece mounting boss 701 so as to be swingable. The reverse rotation of 695 is prevented. This is to prevent the motor cam 697 from rotating in the reverse direction and causing the motor cam 697 and the motor abutting protrusion 691 to mesh with each other to prevent a failure in which the ball striking device 650 cannot be driven. Further, the motor cam 697 is formed in a ball shape, and reciprocates the hitting ball rod 687 while being engaged with and disengaged from the motor abutting protrusion piece 691 as the firing motor 695 rotates. When the motor cover 694 is attached to the motor attachment boss 661, as shown in FIG. 90A, the main structure of the ball hitting device 650 is covered as seen from the rear surface.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 95, the slide member 710 housed in the slide member housing space 656 and slidably moving is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with the rear open, and an elliptical oval convex portion 711 projects on the front surface thereof. Further, a circular connecting convex portion 712 is projected from the rear position of the elliptical convex portion 711. Further, on both the upper and lower surfaces, slide contact protrusions 713 having an arc cross section are provided at both ends so as to easily slide in the slide member storage space 656. On the other hand, the space of the slide member 710 formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape is an insertion space 714 into which the slide protrusion 183 of the joint unit 180 provided at the lower back of the door frame 5 is inserted.

  The insertion space 714 has a first inclined surface 715 formed on the front side of the side wall in the sliding direction, and protrudes from the inside of the upper surface and the lower surface to the inside slightly behind the first inclined surface 715. In addition, a clamping piece 716 is formed in which a predetermined interval is formed between the tips of each other. A second inclined surface 717 is also formed on the front side of the sandwiching piece 716 so as to incline in a C shape when viewed from the side. Thus, in the state where the slide protrusion 183 is inserted into the insertion space 714, as shown in FIG. 95 (B), one end of the slide protrusion 183 on the inclined side 183a side abuts against the front side wall in the slide direction. In this state, it is inserted between the upper and lower clamping pieces 716. In addition, although the space part 718 is formed in the side of the insertion space 714 of the slide member 710, this space part 718 is not necessarily playing a function.

  Thus, the slide member 710 configured as described above is an ellipse formed on the bottom surface of the slide member storage space 656 as shown in FIG. 92A in the state of being stored in the slide member storage space 656. The insertion space 714 is formed so as to face the connection opening 664 having a shape, and the slide member 710 is in contact with one space inner wall of the slide member storage space 656 (in FIG. 92A, the left space inner wall Although it is illustrated as being in contact, in a normal state, it is in a state of being in contact with the inner wall of the right space.

  First, the relationship of adjusting the strength of the urging spring 684 of the slide member 710 and the ball hitting device 650 will be described. 93, the swing piece 672 connected to the connecting projection 712 of the slide member 710 is in a substantially vertical state. For this reason, the slide rod 677 in contact with the swing piece 672 is also urged in one direction (left side in FIG. 93) by the biasing force of the bias spring 684 and the contact portion 675 of the swing piece 672. The contacted portion 679 of the slide rod 677 is in contact. In this state, since the biasing spring 684 is not tensioned, even if the hitting ball rod 687 is reciprocatingly rotated following the rotation of the firing motor 695, the return force of the hitting ball rod 687 is weak, and the hit ball at the firing position is not elastic. Even if issued, the game area 605 of the game board 4 is not reached.

  On the other hand, when the slide member 710 moves in the other direction from the initial position inside the slide member storage space 656 (when moved toward the left inner wall in FIG. 92A), as shown in FIG. Since the swing piece 672 swings and tilts about the shaft hole 673 at the lower end, the slide rod 677 is moved in the other direction (right side in FIG. 94) by the contact between the contact portion 675 and the contacted portion 679. Slide towards you. Then, the biasing spring 684 locked to the spring locking portion 683 of the slide rod 677 is also tensioned and extended. In this state, since the biasing spring 684 is tensioned, the return force of the hitting ball rod 687 when the hitting ball rod 687 is reciprocally rotated following the rotation of the firing motor 695 is increased, and the hit ball at the firing position is increased. The game area 605 of the game board 4 is reached by being strongly bulleted. The strength of the impact force of the hit ball can be adjusted according to the amount of slide in the slide member storage space 656 of the slide member 710.

  As described above, by moving the slide member 710, it is possible to adjust the resilience by the ball hitting device 650. The movement of the slide member 710 is performed by the operation handle portion 410 of the handle device 400 described above. This is interlocked with the movement of the slide body 182 of the joint unit 180 that moves in accordance with the turning operation of the moving operation member 414. This point will be described with reference to FIG.

  As described above, when the rotation operation member 414 of the operation handle portion 410 of the handle device 400 is rotated, the slanting cam 416 fixed to the tip of the rotation shaft 415 is also rotated, so that the slide body of the joint unit 180 182 slides in one direction inside the joint unit mounting recess 110c. For this reason, the slide protrusion 183 protruding from the front surface of the slide body 182 also slides in the same direction. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the slide protrusion 183 of the slide body 182 passes through the connection opening 664 formed in the launching device mounting portion 520 of the main body frame 5 and inserts the slide member 710. It is inserted into the space 714. The insertion state in this case is a state where one end side on the inclined side 183a side of the slide projecting piece 183 is in contact with the side wall on the front side in the sliding direction and is inserted between the upper and lower clamping pieces 716 as described above. . Therefore, when the slide protrusion 183 slides in one direction, the slide member 710 also slides in the same direction. At this time, as described above, since the slide rod 677 also slides as the slide member 710 slides, the biasing force of the biasing spring 684 can be adjusted. That is, by rotating the rotation operation member 414 of the handle device 400, the resilience of the hit ball of the hit ball launching device 650 can be adjusted.

  By the way, in this embodiment, since the handle device 400 is provided on the door frame 5 and the hitting ball launching device 650 is provided on the main body frame 3, the slide protrusion 183 of the handle device 400 is opened each time the door frame 5 is opened and closed. And the slide member 710 of the ball striking device 650 are linked or separated. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, by closing the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the slide projecting piece 183 is automatically inserted into the insertion space 714 of the slide member 710, and the handle device 400. The ball striking device 650 is linked, and conversely, by opening the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the slide protrusion 183 is separated from the insertion space 714 to separate the handle device 400 and the ball striking device 650. Therefore, the handle device 400 and the hitting ball launching device 650 can be linked and separated very easily as the door frame 5 is opened and closed. In particular, when the slide projecting piece 183 is inserted into the insertion space 714, even if the position of the slide projecting piece 183 is slightly shifted in the vertical direction, the second inclination of the sandwiching piece 716 projecting into the insertion space 714 is provided. The slide protrusion 183 is smoothly inserted into the clamping position by the surface 717.

  In some cases, the player may stuff the padding operation member 414 of the operation handle portion 410 and fix it at a position rotated to some extent, but the store clerk at the game hall knows the padding without knowing the padding. 5 may be opened and closed. Even in such a case, when the door frame 5 is opened, there is no problem because the slide projecting piece 183 is merely separated from the insertion space 714. However, when the door frame 5 is closed, the position of the slide projecting piece 183 is Is slightly displaced in one direction, but the sliding member is accompanied with the closing operation of the door frame 5 by the cooperative action of the inclined side 183a of the sliding protrusion 183 and the first inclined surface 715 of the sliding member 710. The slide protrusion 183 and the slide member 710 are finally engaged with each other while moving 710 in one direction. In other words, in the present embodiment, the operation handle device 400 and the hitting ball launching device 650 can be linked regardless of the rotation position of the rotation operation member 414 of the operation handle portion 410. It is.

[1-3C. Prize ball tank]
Next, the prize ball tank 720 attached to the upper part of the back surface of the main body frame 3 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 96 is a perspective view (A), a plan view (B), and a side view (C) of the prize ball tank 720. As described above, the prize ball tank 720 is detachably attached to the tank attachment groove 550 (see FIG. 70) formed in the upper part of the back surface of the main body frame 3. Thus, the prize ball tank 720 is formed in a rectangular box shape, and when viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine 1, a notch 729 is formed in the front wall 721, and the bottom surface is formed from the upstream side wall 724 to the downstream side wall 723. A storage portion 728 is formed by a first inclined bottom surface 726 inclined toward the bottom and a second inclined bottom surface 727 inclined from the front wall 721 toward the discharge port 730 described below.

  In addition, a discharge port 730 is formed at the inclined lower end of the second inclined bottom surface 727, and this discharge port 730 protrudes outward from the rear wall 722 of the prize ball tank 720 when viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine 1. In this manner, the downstream side wall 723 and the rear wall 722 are formed so as to be surrounded by a discharge port projecting wall 725 that connects the U-shape. Further, on both outer sides of the front wall 721 of the prize ball tank 720, attachment flanges 733 that engage with the tank attachment groove 550 are formed, and the main frame 3 is arranged on the back side of the bottom surface of the prize ball tank 720. Placement contact pieces 731 and 732 for placement and contact with the four side walls 543 project, and a ball for attaching a ball leveling member 744 described later to the lower part of the rear surface wall 722 on the upstream side of the prize ball tank 720. A leveling attachment shaft 735 is protruded. Further, an overflow preventing member 734 for preventing the ball from jumping is detachably attached to the rear wall 722 and the upstream side wall 724 of the prize ball tank 720 excluding the discharge port 730.

  In the prize ball tank 720 configured as described above, the mounting flange 733 is attached to the tank mounting groove 550 of the main body frame 3 so as to be inserted from above, and the mounting contact pieces 731 and 732 are attached to the main body frame 3. It abuts on the fourth side wall 543. As a result, the prize ball tank 720 is placed and attached to the upper part on the back side of the main body frame 3. In this attached state, as shown in FIG. 74, the prize ball tank 720 is stored through the notch 729 of the front wall 721. The portion 728 and the relief recess 551 formed on the back surface of the main body frame 3 communicate with each other, and as shown in FIG. 4, the discharge port 730 faces the upstream end of the tank rail member 740 to be described next. ing. Therefore, in the prize ball tank 720, the width in the front-rear direction of the storage portion 728 that stores the sphere (the storage space portion corresponding to the first inclined bottom surface 726 and the second inclined bottom surface 727) is the second side wall 541 of the main body frame 3. It forms so that it may become substantially the same as the width | variety of the front-back direction to -4th side wall 543, and is mounted in the upper part to those side walls 541-543.

  Further, as described above, the first side wall 540 to the fourth side wall 543 of the main body frame 3 are deeply formed so as to cover the rear projecting space of the peripheral part of the game board 4, so that the side walls 541 to 541 are formed. Although the depth of the storage portion of the prize ball tank 720 placed on the upper portion of the 543 is shallower than that of the conventional storage tank, the prize ball tank 720 is stored even if the prize ball is stored and increases in weight. Is supported by the side walls 542 to 543 of the main body frame 3, the stored sphere can be smoothly guided to the discharge port 730 without the inclined bottom surfaces 726 and 727 being deformed. Further, since the discharge port 730 is provided at a position outside the rear wall 722 of the prize ball tank 720, the flow of the sphere stored in the storage portion 728 flows outward from the second inclined bottom surface 727. It is configured. For this reason, as compared with the prize ball tank in which a part of the inclined bottom surface is provided with an opening as a discharge port as in the prior art, a spherical break-up protrusion for eliminating the clogging is formed in the storage portion near the discharge port. In addition, it is possible to obtain a structure in which ball clogging hardly occurs.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the award ball tank 720 is placed on the outside of the upper portion of the rear side walls 541 to 543 that accommodates the rearward projecting portions of the gaming apparatus, and the award is given. Since the discharge port 730 of the ball tank 720 protrudes outward from the rear wall 722 of the storage unit, the tank rail member 740 is disposed outside the storage unit of the prize ball tank 720 (as viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 1). Since the tank rail member 740 and the storage portion 728 of the prize ball tank 720 do not overlap in the vertical direction, the rear protrusion of the gaming device provided on the back surface of the gaming board 4 is stored. The upper sides of the rear side walls 541 to 543 can be projected rearward at a position close to the upper side of the main body frame 3, so that even if the rearward protruding portion of the gaming device protrudes at the upper side portion of the game board 4. It can be comfortably accommodated in the interior of the side walls 541 to 543.

  Further, regardless of whether or not the storage part 728 of the prize ball tank 720 is placed on the upper outer side of the rear side walls 541 to 543 that house the rearward projecting part of the gaming apparatus, the discharge port 730 is provided in the prize ball tank 720. Only the configuration of being provided at a position outside the rear wall 722 provides a unique effect that is not found in the conventional prize ball tank. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 97 is a plan view showing the pressure state of the sphere at the discharge port portion of the conventional prize ball tanks (A), (B) and the prize ball tank (C) according to the present embodiment. In the figure, normally, the balls stored in the prize ball tank 720 are stored and retained in the storage part of the prize ball tank 720. In this case, when the discharge port 730A is formed by opening a part of the inclined bottom surface of the storage portion as in the conventional prize ball tank, for example, as shown in FIG. In the case of a prize-ball tank in which a discharge port 730A is formed on the opposite side of FIG. 97, or a discharge port 730B is formed adjacent to the ball collapse projection 736B as shown in FIG. 97 (B), the discharge port 730A , 730B, the ball pressure is always applied to the discharge ports 730A, 730B from four directions by the pressure of the stored sphere and the reaction from the side wall of the prize ball tank based on the pressure.

  For this reason, the pressure between the spheres happens to be balanced due to the degree of sphere overlap, and even when the sphere on the downstream side flows out, a sphere-engaged state may occur at the outlets 730A and 730B, and the sphere may be clogged. On the other hand, in the prize ball tank 720 according to this embodiment, the discharge port 730 is provided at a position outside the rear wall 722 of the prize ball tank 720, so as shown in FIG. The pressure of the stored sphere in the discharge port 730 is a pressure from only two directions, that is, an action force directed from the storage portion toward the discharge port 730 and a reaction thereof, and does not receive pressure from four directions as in the prior art. For this reason, even if the sphere on the downstream side flows out, it is difficult to generate a sphere-engaged state at the discharge port 730 portion, and an excellent effect that sphere clogging does not occur can be achieved.

[1-3D. Tank rail member]
Next, the tank rail member 740 disposed below the prize ball tank 720 will be described with reference mainly to FIGS. FIG. 98 is a perspective view of the relationship between the prize ball tank 720, the tank rail member 740, the ball passage unit 770, the prize ball unit 800, and the full tank unit 900 as seen from the back side of the pachinko machine 1, and FIG. FIG. 100 is a perspective view of the relationship between the prize ball tank 720, the tank rail member 740, the ball passage unit 770, the prize ball unit 800, and the full tank unit 900, as viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine 1, and FIG. They are sectional drawing (A) and a top view (B) which show the relationship between the downstream part of the member 740, and the upstream part of the ball passage unit 770.

  As described above, the tank rail member 740 is detachably attached to the rail locking grooves 553 and 554 (see FIG. 70) of the upper rear wall 545 of the main body frame 3. Therefore, the tank rail member 740 is provided with a plurality of locking protrusions 749 that are inserted from above into the rail locking groove 553 on the left and right sides and the lower side of the rear side surface, and the upper side of the rear side surface. At the center, a hook-shaped locking protrusion 750 is provided so as to be hooked on the rail locking groove 554 from above. Thus, the tank rail member 740 is formed in an inclined bowl shape with an open upper surface, the upper surface of the upstream end faces the discharge port 730 of the prize ball tank 720, and the lower surface of the downstream end of the tank rail member 740 forms a ball passage unit 770 described in detail later. I'm here. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the inside of the tank rail member 740 serves as a passage 742 through which spheres flow down in two rows by a partition wall 741.

  The bottom surface of the passage 742 is notched with a narrow groove, and foreign substances that roll along the passage 742 together with the ball fall downward from the narrow groove. Further, a metal plate (not shown) for removing static electricity is attached to the side wall of the passage 742, and the downstream end of the metal plate is connected to the above-described ground wire connector 557 (see FIG. 68). ing. For this reason, static electricity charged in the sphere flowing down the tank rail member 740 is grounded from the metal plate to the outside via the ground wire connector 557 via the ground connector of the power supply board 1136.

  In addition, an egg-shaped ball leveling member 744 having a weight on the slightly downstream side of the midstream region of the tank rail member 740 is swingably provided. The ball leveling member 744 is pivotally supported by the ball leveling mounting shaft 735 of the award ball tank 720 described above, and moves toward the two paths 742 in the tank rail member 740. The spheres that are suspended and flow down the respective passages 742 flow down in a plurality of stages in the vertical direction so as to be rectified so as to become one stage. Further, the upper surface of the tank rail member 740 on the downstream side from the installation position of the ball leveling member 744 is covered with a ball pressing plate 745. The ball holding plate 745 is formed in an inclined arc shape so that the ball that has not been made one step by the ball leveling member 744 is forced to one step.

  Further, a pair of alignment gears 747 are rotatably supported by shaft pins 748 at the downstream end of the tank rail member 740 so as to face the respective passages 742. The alignment gear 747 has a plurality of teeth formed on the outer periphery, and is fixed to the shaft pin 748 so that the pitch of the teeth in the pair of alignment gears 747 is shifted by a half pitch. For this reason, when the upper part of the sphere that has flowed down each passage 742 of the tank rail member 740 flows downstream while meshing with the teeth of the alignment gear 747, the spheres in the two rows of passages 742 are alternately sent one by one. It will be. In this case, as shown in FIG. 100, the spheres flowing through the respective passages 742 are guided in the central direction along the inclined surfaces 743 formed in the lower portions of the two rows of passages 742 while meshing with the alignment gears 747, During the guidance, the spheres from the two rows of passages 742 fall in one row alternately at the upper end inlet 773 of the ball drop passage 772 of the ball passage unit 770 described below. The alignment gear 747 is covered with an arcuate gear cover 746 on its upper surface.

[1-3E. Ball passage unit]
Next, the ball path unit 770 for guiding the balls dropped from the tank rail member 740 in a line to the prize ball unit 800 will be described with reference mainly to FIGS. 101 is an exploded perspective view showing the relationship between the main body frame 3 and the ball passage unit 770 and the prize ball unit 800, and FIG. 102 is a rear view showing the relationship between the ball passage unit 770 and the prize ball unit 800. 103 is a perspective view seen from the back of the ball passage unit 770, FIG. 104 is a front view of the ball passage unit 770, and FIG. 105 is a connection structure of the ball passage unit 770 and the prize ball unit 800. It is a side view for demonstrating. In FIG. 102 and FIG. 103, the prize ball unit 800 portion has a gear cover 866, an aluminum heat sink 841, and a unit sub plate 825 removed, and the ball passage portion formed in the unit base body 801 is drawn in an easy-to-understand manner. It is. However, the gears and the like are indicated by alternate long and short dash lines for easy understanding of the relationship with the ball passage.

  In the spherical passage unit 770 of this example, a spherical drop passage 772 is formed by a pair of bent passage walls 771 bent to the back surface (the surface seen from the back surface) of a substantially rectangular plate material. As shown in FIG. 100 (A), the ball drop passage 772 communicates with the front / rear bent passage portion 772a whose upstream is bent in the front / rear direction (depth direction when viewed from the back) and the front / rear bent passage portion 772a. Left and right bent passage portions 772b bent in the direction (left and right direction when viewed from the back), and a vertical passage portion 772c communicating with the left and right bent passage portions 772b and having a substantially vertical shape.

  As shown in FIG. 100 (A), the front / rear bent passage 772a is located at the center of the two rows of passages 742, as described above, because the position of the upper end inlet 773 dropping from the tank rail member 740 is the main body. Since it is in a position away from the surface of the upper rear wall 545 of the frame 3 and the shaft support side rear wall 546 to the back surface side, a winning ball guide projection protruding from the front / rear bent passage 772a and the shaft support side rear wall 546 561 and the ball dropping passage 772 are bent in the front-rear direction so as to be positioned close to the surface of the shaft-supporting rear wall 546. Further, as shown in FIG. 104, the left and right bent passage portions 772b are formed in a U-shape so as to be almost full of the width of the ball passage unit 770 in order to weaken the momentum of the sphere that has fallen from the tank rail member 740 to the front and rear bent passage portions 772a. It is formed by bending.

  Further, although the vertical passage portion 772c is formed in a substantially vertical shape, the vertical passage portion 772c is slightly curved and formed, and a notch portion 775 is formed in one bent passage wall 771 constituting the vertical passage portion 772c. A ball breakage detecting piece 776 whose upper end is supported by a support shaft 777 is attached to 775 so as to be swingable. A ball break switch 778 is attached to the side of the ball break detection piece 776, and an actuator 779 of the ball break switch 778 is in contact with the ball break detection piece 776. The ball break detection piece 776 and the ball break switch 778 constitute a ball break detection mechanism for detecting a ball break in the vertical passage portion 772c.

  Thus, when a ball is present in the vertical passage portion 772c, the ball piece detection piece 776 is pressed by the ball present in the vertical passage portion 772c and the actuator 779 is pushed to turn on the ball piece switch 778. When no ball is present in the portion 772c due to clogging or ball deficiency, the ball piece detecting piece 776 swings into the vertical passage portion 772c, and the actuator 779 turns off the ball piece switch 778. When the ball break switch 778 is turned off, the rotation of the payout motor 815 of the prize ball unit 800, which will be described later, stops and the payout of the prize ball is stopped.

  A stopper protrusion 780 is formed at the lower end of the notch 775 to prevent excessive swinging of the ball breakage detection piece 776 to the opposite side of the passage, and the ball passage unit 770 has a ball. A ball clogging insertion groove 781 is formed in the vertical passage portion 772 c corresponding to the cut detection piece 776. The ball clogging insertion groove 781 inserts a pin from the rear surface side of the ball passage unit 770 to prevent clogging of the ball breakage detection piece 776 when it is difficult to swing the ball breakage detection piece 776 due to ball clogging or the like. This is provided to eliminate the problem. Further, the other bent passage wall 771 facing the ball piece detecting piece 776 is formed in a bulging shape slightly toward the ball piece detecting piece 776 side. This is because when a ball is present in the vertical passage portion 772c, the ball break detection piece 776 is surely pressed to turn on the ball break switch 778.

  Further, a stop hole 782 and a positioning boss 783 are formed in the ball path unit 770 at a position avoiding the above-described ball drop path 772. The positioning boss 783 is engaged with a positioning pin 574 formed on the shaft support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3, and the stop hole 782 is similarly a passage unit formed on the shaft support side rear wall 546. This corresponds to the mounting boss 562. Thus, in order to attach the ball passage unit 770 to the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. In this state, the screw 784 can be screwed from the stop hole 782. Further, the ball passage unit 770 is formed with a cover body engaging groove 785 that engages with an engaging piece of the cover body 1250 in the middle of one side, and is connected to the prize ball unit 800 at the lower part. A connecting lid member 786 is rotatably provided.

  As shown in FIG. 103, the connecting lid member 786 is configured by projecting a pair of passage walls 790 projecting in a circular arc shape on the back surface of a rectangular plate member, and the lower surface of the ball passage unit 770 The projecting shaft 789 as the rotating shaft projecting from the tip of the support piece 788 extending from the both ends of the connecting lid member 786 is fitted into the supporting projecting piece 787 serving as the shaft support projecting from the left and right ends of the connecting lid 786. Thus, it is pivotally supported. In addition, the connecting lid member 786 is extended below the spherical passage unit 770 by closing and the passage formed by the passage wall 790 and the downstream end of the spherical drop passage 772 communicate with each other (see FIG. 105B). The state shown in FIG. 105 and the state where the passage formed by the passage wall 790 and the downstream end of the ball drop passage 772 do not communicate with each other (the state shown in FIG. 105A). A guide projection 791 that guides the support piece 788 of the connecting lid member 786 when projecting from the opened state to the closed state projects from the lower end of the rear surface of the ball path unit 770.

  Thus, in a state where the ball passage unit 770 is fixed to the shaft support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3, and the prize ball unit 800 is also mounted on the shaft support side rear wall 546 as described later (FIG. 105). In the state shown in (A)), the connecting lid member 786 is closed and the rear surface thereof is locked by the locking elastic claw 820 provided in the prize ball unit 800, so that the ball drop path 772 of the ball path unit 770 and the prize ball The bent passage 803 of the unit 800 is communicated with the passage wall 790 so that a ball falling on the ball dropping passage 772 of the ball passage unit 770 can be guided to the bent passage 803 of the prize ball unit 800. The reason why the rotatable connecting lid member 786 is provided in the ball passage unit 770 is that the award ball unit 800 can be easily attached to and detached from the main body frame 3 as will be described later, and the attachment and detachment thereof is possible. This is to prevent the space formed between the ball path unit 770 and the prize ball unit 800 from being hindered from falling smoothly.

  Further, between the pair of bent passage walls 771 projecting from the ball passage unit 770, the projecting height is provided on the pivot side rear surface wall 546 of the main body frame 3 so as to gradually decrease toward the downstream side. By inserting the award ball guide protrusion 561, the upstream portion of the ball drop passage 772 is placed on the rear side so that the upper end inlet 773 of the ball drop passage 772 is positioned substantially at the lower center of the two rows of passages 742 of the tank rail member 740. It is formed as a front / rear bent passage portion 772a that bends in the front / rear direction when viewed from the side. Accordingly, in the configuration in which the balls flowing down in two rows by the pair of alignment gears 747 are alternately sent one by one to the prize ball unit 800 side, the balls are smoothly sent one by one to the prize ball unit 800 through the ball drop passage 772. Can do. Further, according to this configuration, since it is not necessary to form the ball drop passage 772 from an assembly of a plurality of members, the number of parts constituting the ball drop passage 772 can be reduced, and the ball drop passage 772 can be assembled. Workability can be improved.

  In addition, the sphere that has fallen from the tank rail member 740 in the front / rear bent passage portion 772a weakens its momentum by passing through the left / right bent passage portion 772b, and then is sent to the winning ball unit 800 through the vertical passage portion 772c. . In addition, the vertical passage portion 772c into which the ball is fed in a state where the momentum is weakened is provided with a ball break detection mechanism (a ball break detection piece 776 and a ball break switch 778) for detecting the ball break. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably detect a break in the ball drop passage 772, in other words, a break in the ball supplied to the winning ball unit 800 (a ball break).

[1-3F. Prize ball unit]
Next, the prize ball unit 800 disposed on the downstream side of the above-described ball path unit 770 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 106 is an exploded perspective view as seen from the back side of the prize ball unit 800. FIG. 107 is a rear view for explaining the relationship between the payout motor 815 and the sprocket 807 as a payout member. FIG. 109 is a rear view for explaining the path and drive relationship of the prize ball unit 800, and FIG. 109 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.

  106, a prize ball unit 800 includes a unit base body 801 in which a bent path 803, a prize ball path 810, and a ball extraction path 811 forming a ball path by a pair of bent path walls 802, and a unit base body 801. A unit sub-plate 825 covering the rear surface of the unit sub-plate, an intra-prize ball relay terminal plate 830 attached to the upper surface (rear side) of the unit sub-plate 825, and a substantially central surface region (rear side region) of the unit sub-plate 825. And a gear cover 866 that covers the detection disk 850 (rotation transmission member). Hereinafter, these configurations will be sequentially described.

  The unit base body 801 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape (this plate portion may be referred to as a “bottom surface”), and a pair of bent passages projecting toward the plate-like unit sub plate 825 side. A bent passage 803 is formed by the wall 802. The bent passage wall 802 protrudes from the center of the upper part of the unit base body 801 to a substantially middle position on the downstream side at a distance slightly larger than the diameter of the sphere. It also serves as side walls on both ends of the unit base body 801 from the downstream end to the downstream end. In addition, the middle bent passage wall 802 is largely divided into left and right portions to form a distribution space 805 in which a sprocket 807 serving as a ball feed rotating body is arranged, and a unit base body 801 from the lower portion of the distribution space 805. A passage partition wall 809 is formed in a projecting manner so as to form a pair of bent passage walls 802 divided to the left and right until the downstream end.

  That is, the right and left bent passage walls 802 and the passage partition wall 809 on the downstream side from the middle form two passages on the left and right from the distribution space 805, and one passage constitutes the prize ball passage 810, The other passage forms a ball passage 811. The passage partition wall 809 is also largely divided into left and right, and a motor storage space 814 for storing the payout motor 815 is formed inside the divided passage partition wall 809. In other words, the payout motor 815 is stored in a motor storage space 814 that is located at a position avoiding the ball passage (bending passage 803, prize ball passage 810, ball removal passage 811) and within the depth width dimension of the ball passage. Fixed. The bent passage 803 is formed in a meandering shape so as to weaken the pressure applied to the sprocket 807 of a sphere staying in the passage 803 and reaches the distribution space 805, but on the upstream side of the distribution space 805. An elliptical opening 804 is formed on the bottom surface. The opening 804 stores small dust or the like that has entered the bent passage 803, and can collect dust or the like that is collected when the prize ball unit 800 is removed from the main body frame 3.

  In the distribution space 805, a sprocket 807 serving as a payout member having a plurality of (three in the illustrated example) recesses in which a sphere fits on the outer periphery is rotatably disposed. A bearing cylinder 806 that pivotally supports the other end of the rotary shaft 808 to which the 807 is fixed is formed on the bottom surface of the distribution space 805. Further, the upper end portion of the passage partition wall 809 constituting the bottom portion of the distribution space 805 is formed in a concave arc shape along the rotation arc of the sprocket 807, and in the upstream portion of the prize ball passage 810 formed on one side thereof The counting switch 812 is detachably attached.

  The counting switch 812 is formed of a rectangular parallelepiped magnetic sensor having a circular passage hole through which a sphere passes, and a switch fitting recess 865 that matches the shape of the rear end is formed by a bent passage wall 802. By doing so, it can be easily attached and detached. A wiring (not shown) from the counting switch 812 is connected to a prize ball unit relay terminal plate 830 described later. Further, on the downstream side of the bent passage wall 802 constituting the prize ball passage 810, a locking claw that engages with a locking portion 860 formed on a passage lid plate portion 859 formed integrally with the unit sub plate 825. A plurality of 813 are formed. However, among the plurality of locking claws 813, the locking claw 813 that engages with one locking portion 860 at the lower end of the passage lid plate portion 859 is formed on the passage partition wall 809 side.

  In addition, a circular motor storage space 814 for storing the payout motor 815 is formed below the unit base body 801 and between the prize ball passage 810 and the ball removal passage 811. This motor storage space 814 The cylindrical main body of the payout motor 815 is accommodated in the inside. However, the payout motor 815 is fixed to the back side of the aluminum heat dissipating plate 841 attached below the unit sub plate 825 with a pair of mounting pieces 816 formed on the front surface thereof with screws 817. Then, in a state where the payout motor 815 is attached to the aluminum heat radiating plate 841 of the unit sub-plate 825, the motor shaft 818 of the payout motor 815 passes through the shaft insertion hole 842 drilled in the aluminum heat radiating plate 841. The gear 843 is fixed.

The hook-shaped engaging portion 824 engages with an engaging protrusion 565 formed on the shaft support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3, and presses the prize ball unit 800 against the shaft support side rear wall 546. By pushing down downward, the hook-like engagement portion 824 and the engagement protrusion 565 are engaged. In the engaged state, the lock elastic claw 564 and the button insertion engagement hole 821 are engaged with each other, so that the upward movement of the prize ball unit 800 cannot be performed.

  Note that the hook-shaped engagement portions 824 are formed on the upper left and right of the unit base body 801. In addition, the mounting boss 823 for connecting the unit base body 801 and the gear cover 866 with the unit sub plate 825 sandwiched therebetween is long and protrudes toward the rear surface side, and penetrates through the unit sub plate 825. After passing through the hole 858, the unit base body 801 and the gear cover are held in a state where the unit sub-plate 825 is sandwiched by fitting a screw 868 from the surface of the gear cover 866 so as to correspond to the mounting hole 867 of the gear cover 866. 866.

One end of the rotary shaft 808 is supported by being press-fitted into a bearing cylinder 806 formed on the unit base body 801, and the other end is supported by a bearing hole formed on the gear cover 866. The sprocket 807 is rotatably supported in the distribution space 805 through a shaft through hole 864 formed slightly below the center of the region 840, and detected in the space formed by the unit sub plate 825 and the gear cover 866. A disk 850 is rotatably supported. However, as shown in FIG. 109, since the rear end portion of the sprocket 807 is engaged with the center front surface portion of the detection disk 850, the sprocket 807 and the detection disk 850 are integrated with the rotation shaft 808 as a center. It is designed to rotate. Therefore, when the dispensing motor 815 is driven to rotate, the rotation is transmitted to rotate the sprocket 807 via the first gear 843, the second gear 844, the third gear 847, and the gear portion 852 of the detection disk 850.

  The outer periphery of the detection disk 850 is formed to be slightly larger than the circle of the gear portion 852, and the outer peripheral portion protruding outward from the gear portion 852 has the same number as the recesses of the sprocket 807 (in the case of illustration). 3) detection notches 851 are formed. This detection notch 851 is detected by a light projection / reception type rotation angle switch 855 (rotation position detection means) provided on a sensor substrate 854 sandwiched and supported by a substrate mounting portion 857 formed on the surface of the unit sub-plate 825. It is. The rotation angle switch 855 is for monitoring whether or not the sprocket 807 is rotating normally by detecting the number of detection notches 851 within a predetermined interval during the payout operation. If abnormal rotation is detected by the rotation angle switch 855 (in many cases, the ball is engaged with the sprocket 807), the sprocket 807 is rotated forward and backward a predetermined number of times to eliminate the abnormal state (for example, the ball engagement state). To do. Note that the number of balls actually paid out is detected by the counting switch 812 provided in the prize ball passage 810 and used for counting. As shown in FIG. 109, the other end side of the sensor substrate 854 is also sandwiched between substrate mounting portions formed on the gear cover 866.

  As described above, of the plurality of gears provided in the gear region 840, only the second gear 844 is rotatably provided on the rotary shaft 845 that is press-fitted into the gear cover 866 side. The cover 866 is formed with a mounting hole 867 that is provided at a position corresponding to the tip of the mounting boss 823 that protrudes from the unit base body 801 and passes through the through hole 858 of the unit sub-plate 825. The mounting hole 867 and the mounting boss 823 are engaged with the teeth of the second gear 844 provided on the gear cover 866 side and the teeth of the first gear 843 and the third gear 847 provided on the unit sub-plate 825 side. The unit base body 801 and the gear cover 866 are integrally fixed in a state where the unit sub plate 825 is sandwiched by screwing with the screw 868 from the rear surface of the gear cover 866 in the matched state. Further, on one side surface of the gear cover 866, wiring connected to the relay terminal plate 830 in the prize ball unit (for example, wiring connecting the relay terminal board 830 in the prize ball unit and a payout control board 1186 described later). A wiring processing piece 869 that is hooked and gathered is projected.

  The configuration of the prize ball unit 800 has been described above. In the state where the unit base body 801, the unit sub board 825, the prize ball unit relay terminal board 830, the board cover 835, and the gear cover 866 are assembled, FIG. As shown, the cylindrical main body portion of the payout motor 815 is housed in a position below the bent passage 803 through which the ball to be paid out is guided. Further, the unit base body 801 includes a sprocket 807 arranged in a ball passage (bending passage 803, prize ball passage 810, ball removal passage 811) and a depth width dimension of the ball passage at a position avoiding the ball passage. A payout motor 815 housed in a motor housing space 814 formed therein, and the rotation of the motor shaft 818 of the payout motor 815 along the non-blocking surface side of the unit sub-plate 825 is rotated by the sprocket 807. A rotation transmitting member (first gear 843, second and third gears 844, 847, and a gear portion 852 of the detection disk 850) for transmitting to the shaft 808 is provided, and in the distribution space 805 of the dispensing motor 815 and the bending passage 803. A plurality of gears 843, 844, 84 provided in the gear region 840 on the rear surface of the unit sub-plate 825 with the sprocket 807 as the disposing member disposed. It has become a consolidated structure to be driven to rotate by 850 (852). That is, the sprocket 807 and the payout motor 815 are accommodated within the depth width of the ball passage (bending passage 803, prize ball passage 810, ball removal passage 811) formed between the unit base body 801 and the unit sub plate 825. In addition, the rotation transmission member (the first gear 843, the second and third gears 844, 847, and the gear portion 852 of the detection disk 850) that connects the sprocket 807 and the payout motor 815 is connected to the non-blocking surface side of the unit sub-plate 825. Therefore, the prize ball unit 800 can be made thinner than the one in which a payout motor and a part of the sprocket are arranged outside the ball passage.

  In addition, such a prize ball unit 800 is further thinned by forming the ball passages (the bent passage 803, the prize ball passage 810, and the ball passage 811) in the prize ball unit 800 in a single passage shape. It is planned. That is, unlike the conventional case in which the payout motor 815 protrudes to the front side, the rear side or the side of the prize ball unit, when attached to the rear side of the shaft support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3, Any part of the prize ball unit 800 can be structured not to protrude further rearward. In FIG. 109, the front end portion of the payout motor 815 is configured to slightly protrude from the rear surface of the unit base body 801. This protruding portion is formed on the shaft support side rear wall 546 as shown in FIG. Since it faces the front portion of the main body frame 3 from the lower discharge motor escape opening 572, as a result, it protrudes by a dimension obtained by subtracting the thickness of the shaft support side rear wall 546 from the protruding dimension. Thus, the amount of protrusion toward the front side relative to the shaft support side rear wall 546 is small. In addition, by adopting such a configuration, in the present embodiment, the game board 4 is provided between the pivot side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3 to which the prize ball unit 800 is attached and the back surface of the game board 4. A storage space for storing the rearward protruding portion of the gaming apparatus can be increased in the depth width direction.

  Furthermore, in order to attach the prize ball unit 800 configured as described above to the pivotal support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. 101, a hook-shaped engaging portion 824, an engaging protrusion 565, After the alignment, the lower end of the prize ball unit 800 is hooked in the locking groove 573, and the prize ball unit 800 is pivotally supported to engage the hook-like engagement portion 824 and the engagement protrusion 565. The lower side wall 546 is pressed down while being in close contact with the side rear wall 546. At this time, since the lower end portion of the prize ball unit 800 and the locking groove 573 are engaged, and the hook-shaped engaging portion 824 and the engaging protrusion 565 are engaged, the mounting itself is completed. When the prize ball unit 800 is moved upward, the respective engagement states are easily released. To prevent this, the lock elastic claw 564 is engaged with the button insertion engagement hole 821. It is supposed to be.

  That is, the lock elastic claw 564 and the button insertion engagement hole 821 are engaged to prevent the prize ball unit 800 from moving upward in the attached state. Thus, after the prize ball unit 800 is attached, the connecting lid member 786 of the ball path unit 770 is rotated as described above and locked by the locking elastic claw 820, so that the ball path of the ball path unit 770 drops. The downstream end of the passage 772 and the upstream end of the bent passage 803 of the prize ball unit 800 can be communicated with each other through a passage constituted by a pair of passage walls 790. When the prize ball unit 800 is attached, the downstream end of the prize ball passage 810 is connected to the prize ball inlet 927 of the full tank unit 900 described in detail later, and the downstream end of the ball removal path 811 is connected to the ball removal connection path. Connected to the upstream end of 880.

  On the other hand, when the prize ball unit 800 is removed, the engagement by the latching elastic claws 820 is released and the connecting lid member 786 is rotated forward, and then the detachable button 822 is pressed to release the locking elastic claws 564. It is moved to the front side to release the engagement between the lock elastic claw 564 and the button insertion engagement hole 821, and then the prize ball unit 800 is pulled upward with the detachable button 822 pressed, and the prize ball unit 800. By releasing the engagement between the lower end portion of the lens and the locking groove 573 and the engagement between the hook-shaped engagement portion 824 and the engagement protrusion 565 and pulling out the prize ball unit 800 to the front side, Easy to remove.

[1-3G. Full tank unit]
Next, the full tank unit 900 disposed on the downstream side of the above-described prize ball unit 800 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 110 to 116. 110 is a perspective view showing the relationship between the prize ball unit 800 and the full tank unit 900, FIG. 111 is a perspective view of the full tank unit 900, and FIG. 112 is a front view of the full tank unit 900. 113 is an exploded perspective view, FIG. 113 is an exploded perspective view seen from the back of the full tank unit 900, and FIG. 114 is a partially broken perspective view showing the relationship between the full tank unit 900 and the foul port 610, 115 is a cross-sectional view taken along the bottom rocking plate 907 provided in the full tank unit 900, and FIG. 116 is a cross-sectional view showing the relationship between the full unit 900 and the foul port 610.

  As described above, the full tank unit 900 is mounted and fixed on the full tank unit mounting portion 531 of the main body frame 3, and as shown in FIG. 112, the main body of the box is formed in a box shape having an open upper surface. 901 and a lid body 926 that covers the upper surface of the box main body 901. The box main body 901 is configured such that the sphere that has flowed in from the downstream end of the prize ball passage 810 is guided in a zigzag shape inside and discharged from the outlet 921. Therefore, a side guide passage 902 that guides a sphere that has flowed in from a prize ball inlet 927 formed in the lid 926 to the side from one end to the other end is formed in the upstream portion. A side guide receiving portion 903 formed in a concave arc shape so as to guide the sphere toward the side is provided at one end portion of the side guide passage 902 directly below the prize ball entrance 927, and the side guide passage is provided. A buffer member 904 is provided on the inner surface of the other end of 902 to receive the impact of the sphere flowing through the side guide passage 902 and guide the sphere downstream.

  Further, the ball that collides with the buffer member 904 provided on the inner surface of the other end of the side guide passage 902 is guided to flow in the opposite direction to the flow of the sphere in the side guide passage 902 after changing the direction to the downstream side. A reverse side guide passage 905 is formed. The sphere that has flowed through the reverse side guide passage 905 is then guided to the front guide passage 920 formed toward the front, and the award of the dish unit 300 described above from the outlet 921 formed at the lower end of the front guide passage 920. Guided to the ball contact 343.

  By the way, a bottom surface opening 906 is formed on the bottom surface on the upstream side of the reverse side guide passage 905 so as to open over the entire bottom surface. Yes. The bottom surface opening 906 is formed in a substantially square concave shape having an open top surface, and a pair of shaft projections 911 project from the side walls in the front-rear direction when viewed from the front inside. A circular spring mounting recess 912 for positioning the lower end of the spring 913 is formed on the concave bottom surface of the bottom surface opening 906. On the other hand, the bottom rocking plate 907 that closes the bottom opening 906 is formed in a substantially square shape, and is a semicircular bearing that is pivotally supported by being fitted to a pivot projection 911 as viewed from the front on the downstream side of the back surface. A portion 908 is formed to project.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 115, a spring locking projection 910 that locks the upper end of the spring 913 projects downward from the center of the bottom surface of the bottom rocking plate 907. Therefore, the bottom rocking plate 907 is biased in the direction in which the upstream side is always rocked upward by the biasing force of the spring 913. The spring 913 does not swing the bottom rocking plate 907 downward even when the number of normal prize balls paid out (for example, 15) is placed on the bottom rocking plate 907 at a time. A predetermined number of balls equal to or greater than the payout number is formed by a spring member having a spring coefficient that swings downward when placed on the bottom swing plate 907. Further, a detection protrusion 909 protrudes forward on the upstream side of the bottom rocking plate 907. The detection protrusion 909 passes through the communication hole 929 and is positioned in a switch storage space 914 described below when the bearing portion 908 of the bottom rocking plate 907 is fitted and supported on the shaft support protrusion 911. It has become.

  In addition, a switch storage space 914 for storing the full tank switch 916 is integrally formed on the outer side of the upstream end side wall of the reverse side guide passage 905. In order to mount the full switch 916 in the switch storage space 914, a switch mounting portion 918 is formed on the outer surface of the side wall of the upstream end portion of the reverse side guide passage 905 above the switch storage space 914. A mounting piece 917 of the switch holder 915 that holds the full switch 916 is fixed to the portion 918 by a screw 919. The full tank switch 916 is configured as a switch composed of a projector and a light receiver, and detects ON / OFF when the detection protrusion 909 swings up and down between the light receiver and the light projector.

  Further, a foul ball passage 922 is formed on one side downstream of the reverse side guide passage 905. As shown in FIG. 114, the foul ball passage 922 is bent and formed so that the foul ball inlet 923 communicates with the foul port 610 described above and the downstream side communicates with the upstream side of the front guide passage 920. Has been. Therefore, the foul ball taken into the foul port 610 is guided from the foul ball inlet 923 through the bent foul ball passage 922 to the front guide passage 920, and further through the outlet 921 and the prize ball connecting rod 343 to the dish unit. Returned to 300.

  The box main body 901 has engaging pieces 924 that are engaged with unit engaging grooves 532 formed in the full unit mounting portion 531 on both sides of the outlet 921 and one side of the foul ball inlet 923. A latching protrusion 925 that engages with a latching piece 928 formed on the lid 926 is formed. The latching protrusion 925 is appropriately formed on the upper left and right side walls of the box main body 901.

  On the other hand, the lid 926 is formed in a plate shape so as to cover the upper surfaces of the side guide passage 902, the reverse side guide passage 905, the front guide passage 920, and the foul ball passage 922 of the box main body 901. A square prize ball entrance 927 is opened at a position corresponding to the upstream end at 902. In addition, a latching piece 928 for engaging with a latching protrusion 925 of the box main body 901 is provided around the lid 926 so as to project downward.

  In the full tank unit 900 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 110, the balls paid out from the prize ball path 810 of the prize ball unit 800 are moved upstream from the prize ball entrance 927 to the upstream side of the side guidance path 902. It enters and is guided toward the side by the side guide receiving portion 903 and collides with the buffer member 904. The ball colliding with the buffer member 904 is guided in the reverse side guide passage 905 toward the downstream side in the direction opposite to the guide direction of the side guide passage 902 and guided to the front guide passage 920. The exit 921 is led to the dish unit 300 through the prize ball communication rod 343. Further, the foul sphere entered from the foul ball entrance 923 is also weakened by the bent foul ball passage 922 and joined to the front guide passage 920, and passes through the prize ball connection rod 343 from the exit 921 of the front guide passage 920. Guided to the dish unit 300.

  In normal times, when the sphere naturally flows in the full tank unit 900, when the sphere moves from the side guide passage 902 to the reverse side guide passage 905, it falls to the bottom rocking plate 907. When the number of payout balls is about the normal, the spring 913 has a strong resilience, so that the bottom rocking plate 907 does not rock. As shown by the solid line in FIG. The full tank switch 916 is placed between the projector and the light receiver, and the switch is not conductive (OFF). On the other hand, when the prize balls are stored in the dish unit 300 and the full tank unit 900 is also filled with balls, the bottom fluctuations formed in the entire upstream area of the front guide path 920 and the reverse side guide path 905 are formed. The bottom rocking plate 907 rocks downward against the urging force of the spring 913 due to the pressure of the sphere stored on the moving plate 907, and the detection protrusion 909 is projected as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The light receiving full tank switch 916 is disconnected from the light projector and the light receiver, and the switch becomes conductive (ON). When the full tank switch 916 is turned on, the rotational driving of the payout motor 815 of the prize ball unit 800 is stopped (if the ON signal is derived while the predetermined number of prize balls are being paid out, the predetermined number of prize balls). Will be stopped after it has been paid out).

  As described above, in the full tank unit 900, the full tank switch is operated by the bottom rocking plate 907 having substantially the same width as the width of the bottom of the path of the path through which the ball flows (in the illustrated case, the reverse side guide path 905). 916 is actuated and biased by a biasing member (spring 913) so that the bottom rocking plate 907 swings when a certain amount of balls are placed without swinging due to the normal flow of the balls. Therefore, compared to the conventional case where a ball is placed on the bottom surface of some passages or the like to detect a clogged ball, the placement of the balls in that portion of the passage is not detected due to the clogging. It can be surely prevented. This can reliably detect a full tank.

  Moreover, in the full unit 900 according to the present embodiment, the full unit is formed on the main body frame as in the prior art because it is detachably attached to the full unit mounting portion 531 of the main body frame 3. It is not necessary to form a passage for the full tank structure in the main body frame as compared with the one assembled in the dispensing passage. Further, by making the inside of the full tank unit 900 a zigzag passage, it is possible to guide to the dish unit 300 while weakening the momentum of the balls paid out from the prize ball passage 810 of the prize ball unit 800. The awarded ball does not jump out of the dish unit 300. Further, in the full tank unit 900 according to the present embodiment, the foul ball passage 922 that guides the foul ball joins the ball in the middle of the front guide passage 920 that pays out the award ball. The foul sphere can be merged without hindering the flow of the sphere.

[1-4. Locking device]
Next, the lock device 1000 attached in the vertical direction along the back side edge of the main body frame 3 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 117 to 125. 117 is a rear perspective view showing the relationship between the locking device 1000 and the main body frame 3, and FIG. 118 is an enlarged side sectional view showing a latching structure of the locking device 1000 to the main body frame 3. FIG. FIG. 120 is a partial cross-sectional view cut in the horizontal direction at a position slightly below the vertical center of the pachinko machine 1, and FIG. 120 shows a detailed relationship between the lock device 1000 and the side walls 540 and 541 of the main body frame 3. 121 is an enlarged cross-sectional view, FIG. 121 is a side view (A) of the locking device 1000, a perspective view (B) viewed from the front side, and FIG. 122 is a perspective view (A) viewed from the back side of the locking device 1000. ) Are perspective views (B) and (C) of a door frame sliding rod 1040 and a body frame sliding rod 1050 slidably provided inside the U-shaped base 1001 of the lock device 1000, and FIG. Fig. 124 is an exploded perspective view of the lock device 1000, and Fig. 124 is for a door frame. Is a front view for explaining the action of Do杆 1040 and the main frame for sliding rod 1050, FIG. 125 is a front view for explaining the action of the anti-fraud members 1023,1032.

  The locking device 1000 is attached from the substantially upper end to the lower end of the main body frame 3 along the first side wall 540 on the open side of the main body frame 3, and as shown in FIG. A plurality of (three in the illustrated example) lock locking holes 548 formed in the middle and middle of the upper and lower ends between the rising portions of the first side wall 540 and the upper part of the vertical surface of the first side wall 540 The U-shaped base 1001 of the locking device 1000 described below is supported by the lock mounting hole 547 formed by being cut out in the middle and the lock mounting hole 547 formed near the upper portion of the cylinder lock through hole 526. It is fixed. Therefore, the structure of the lock device 1000 will be described in detail below.

  As shown in FIGS. 121 to 123, a locking device 1000 includes a U-shaped base 1001 as a locking base formed in a U-shaped cross section, and a door frame that is slidably provided in the U-shaped base 1001. The U-shaped sliding rod 1040, the main body frame sliding rod 1050 slidably provided in the U-shaped base 1001, and the main body frame sliding rod 1050 cannot be illegally slid. And tamper-proof members 1023 and 1032 attached to the lower part of the base body 1001.

  The U-shaped base body 1001 is formed by bending a metal so as to have a U-shaped cross section, and slidably providing a door frame sliding rod 1040 and a body frame sliding rod 1050 therein. The width dimension is extremely thin as compared with a conventional locking device that is concentrated on a base body having an L-shaped cross section. As described above, the size of the game board 4 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is greatly increased, and the space surrounded by the side walls 540 to 543 of the main body frame 3 is increased. A mounting structure that allows the locking device 1000 to be attached to the back side of the main body frame 3 by reducing the width of the locking device 1000 according to the present embodiment by making the dimension between the outer periphery and the outer periphery extremely small. It is because it improved as. And since the open side of the U-shaped cross section of the U-shaped base body 1001 is mounted so as to face the back surface of the main body frame 3, when the lock device 1000 is mounted on the main body frame 3, the door frame is provided inside. The sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 have a tamper-proof structure in which the U-shaped base 1001 is completely covered except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065.

  First, a rectangular hook penetration opening 1002 through which the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 pass is opened on the closed side opposite to the open side of the U-shaped base 1001 and on the closed side. A screwing portion 1003 protrudes horizontally in the upper and middle sides 1001b (see FIG. 123) that is in close contact with the first side wall 540 and is not in close contact with the first side wall 540 on the open side. Locking projections 1004 are formed so as to project from the upper end portion and the intermediate portion (see FIG. 123) and the lower end portions of both open side surfaces 1001a and 1001b.

  The screw stoppers 1003 and the locking protrusions 1004 are for attaching the locking device 1000 to the back surface of the main body frame 3. The locking protrusions 1004 are inserted into the lock locking holes 548 of the main body frame 3 and moved upward. (See FIG. 118) Since the screw fixing portion 1003 and the lock mounting hole 547 coincide with each other in this state, the locking device 1000 is firmly attached to the main body frame 3 by screwing a screw (not shown) into the coincident hole. Can be fixed. The locking device 1000 is attached not only to the upper and middle screw fixing portions 1003 but also in the vicinity of the screw fixing portion 1003 formed on the lock mounting piece 1008 described later and the cylinder lock through hole 526. The lower part of the lock device 1000 can be attached by fixing the lock attachment hole 547 to a corresponding screw with a screw (not shown).

  In addition, when mounting, the locking projections 1004 formed at the upper, middle, and lower three positions on the open side (front portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are inserted into the locking holes 548 to be positioned and locked, and the U-shaped Screw fixing portions 1003 formed at two positions on the closed side (rear portion) of the base body 1001 and screw fixing portions 1003 formed on the open side (front portion) of the U-shaped base body 1001 are formed in the lock mounting holes 547. Since the structure is fixed with screws, the front portion of the locking device 1000 is locked by the locking protrusion 1004 and the locking locking hole 548, and the rear portion of the locking device 1000 is fixed by the screw locking portion 1003 and the lock mounting hole 547. In addition, since the lower portion of the locking device 1000 is fixed by the screw fixing portion 1003 and the lock mounting hole 547, the locking device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the main body frame 3 with an extremely simple structure.

  In other words, even when the locking device 1000 is configured by concentrating on the U-shaped base body 1001 having a very small width, the locking device 1000 is fixed to the main body frame 3 by locking and fixing the front portion and the rear portion of the locking device 1000. It can be firmly fixed to. In particular, in the case of the present embodiment, the locking protrusion 1004 constituting the locking structure (or a fixed structure) at the front portion protrudes from the side surface 1001 a that does not adhere to the first side wall 540 of the U-shaped base body 1001. On the other hand, the screw fixing portion 1003 and the screw fixing portion 1003 constituting the fixing structure of the rear portion are formed so as to protrude in the horizontal direction from the side surface 1001b in close contact with the first side wall 540 of the U-shaped base body 1001. Therefore, the locking device 1000 can be fixed to the main body frame 3 so that the locking structure of the front part is not loosened as compared with the case where the locking structure of the front part is formed on the side surface 1001b in close contact with the first side wall 540. is there.

  Further, insertion holes 1005 are formed in the upper, middle, and lower sides of both side surfaces 1001a and 1001b of the U-shaped base 1001.

In this state, the first tamper-proof member 1023 is rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring 1035 so that the stopper piece 1027 enters the tamper-proof notch 1007 and the stopper piece 1027 is tamper-proof notch. The main body frame sliding rod 1050 at a position corresponding to 1007 is engaged with an engagement notch 1066 formed on the lower hook member 1052. Therefore, even if the piano wire or the like is hooked onto the main body frame sliding rod 1050 and pulled down, the stopper piece portion 1027 and the engagement notch portion 1066 are engaged. Unauthorized pulling down (unlocking) becomes impossible, and an illegal act of opening the main body frame 3 cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, when the main body frame 3 is normally unlocked by inserting the key into the cylinder lock 1010, the first engagement protrusion of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated by rotating the key as shown in FIG. The piece 1017 is rotated so as to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020. When the first engagement protrusion 1017 is rotated, the inclined portion 1024 of the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the side surface of the first engagement protrusion 1017 come into contact with each other. The stopper piece 1027 starts to rotate around the angle 1025 in the clockwise direction shown in the figure, and the stopper piece 1027 also moves away from the tamper-proof cutout 1007. For this reason, the engagement between the stopper piece 1027 and the engagement notch 1066 is released. At this time, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in a position where the spring 1035 is extended and the contact portion 1037 is retracted. When the engagement cam 1016 is further rotated in this state and the first engagement protrusion 1017 is also rotated, the tip of the first engagement protrusion 1017 is engaged with the lower engagement hole 1062 of the lower hook member 1052. Since the entire body frame sliding rod 1050 is lowered, the locking state between the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing projections 38 and 41 of the outer frame 2 is released, and the main body frame 3 is attached to the outer frame 2. Can be opened.

  Note that when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in contact with the restriction protrusion 1031, and thus the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member The positional relationship with 1032 is substantially the same as the state shown in FIG. When the main body frame 3 is closed in this state, the closing protrusion 41 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 contact from the front, and finally the state shown in FIG. 125 (A) is obtained. . For this reason, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 do not get in the way when the main body frame 3 is closed. In the present embodiment, the first tamper-proof member 1023 and the second tamper-proof member 1032 prevent only the lowering operation of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 from being illegally performed. If the frame sliding rod 1050 is opened improperly, the door frame sliding rod 1040 can be easily opened manually after being released, and the illegal act of raising the sliding rod with a piano wire or the like is practically difficult to perform. For this reason, it has been devised to prevent unauthorized operation of the body frame sliding rod 1050.

  Further, even in the lock mechanism that is the above-described first fraud prevention structure, it is impossible to disable the function of the lock mechanism by swinging the first fraud prevention member 1023 with a piano wire or the like. Absent. Therefore, assuming that the lock function of the lock mechanism is disabled by an unauthorized action, in the present embodiment, in the state where the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3, the door frame is provided inside. Since the sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are housed in the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, they are completely covered. Even if an attempt is made to pull down the main body frame sliding rod 1050 provided inside the closed space of the U-shaped base body 1001 by inserting a piano wire or the like, the both sides 1001a and 1001b of the U-shaped base body 1001 close the closed space Since the intrusion is prevented, fraudulent acts cannot be easily performed.

  As described above in detail, the lock device 1000 according to the present embodiment has an extremely thin U-shaped base 1001 for a door frame, compared with a lock device whose lateral width is concentrated on a conventional L-shaped base. The sliding hook 1040 and the main body frame sliding hook 1050 are slidably provided, and the mounting position of the cylinder lock 1010 for operating the locking device 1000 to the U-shaped base 1001 is lower than the lower end side of the game board. Therefore, even if the size of the game board 4 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is extremely large and the space surrounded by the side walls 540 to 543 of the main body frame 3 is increased, the lock device 1000 can be 3 can be firmly attached to the back side. And since the open side of the U-shaped cross section is attached so as to face the back surface of the main body frame 3, when the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3, the door frame sliding rod 1040 provided inside and the main body Since the frame sliding rod 1050 is completely covered with the U-shaped base body 1001 except for the hooks 1041, 1054, and 1065, the main body provided inside by inserting a piano wire or the like. Unauthorized acts such as lowering the frame sliding rod 1050 cannot be easily performed.

  Further, when the locking device 1000 is attached, the locking protrusions 1004 formed at the upper, middle, and lower three positions on the open side (front part) of the U-shaped base 1001 are inserted into the locking holes 548 to be positioned and locked. Since the screw fixing portions 1003 and the screw fixing portions 1003 formed at the upper, middle, and lower portions of the closed side (rear portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are fixed to the lock mounting holes 547 with screws, the locking device 1000 The front portion of the lock device is locked by the locking protrusion 1004 and the lock locking hole 548, and the rear portion of the locking device 1000 is fixed by the screw fixing portion 1003 and the screw fixing portion 1003 and the lock mounting hole 547, so that the structure is extremely simple. The locking device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the main body frame 3.

  In the embodiment described above, the screw fixing portion 1003 formed in the lock mounting piece 1008 and the cylinder lock through hole 526 of the main body frame 3 are formed near the upper portion of the lock mounting piece 1008 as a structure for screwing the lower portion of the U-shaped base 1001. However, instead of this, a screw 1012 for attaching the cylinder lock 1010 to the lock attachment piece 1008 is used, and the tip of the screw 1012 penetrates the lock attachment piece 1008. A structure may be employed in which the lock mounting holes to be screwed are formed above and below the cylinder lock through hole 526. Further, even if the lower portion of the U-shaped base 1001 is not screwed, the locking device 1000 can be attached to the back surface of the main body frame 3 only by fixing the screw fixing portion 1003 and the lock mounting hole 547 at the rear portion of the locking device 1000. It is confirmed that it is firmly fixed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are completely covered with the U-shaped base body 1001 having the left and right side surfaces 1001a and 1001b. The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the main body frame sliding rod 1050 are slidably mounted on the opposite side surface 1001a not in close contact with the first side wall 540 with a rivet or the like, and the side surface 1001b in close contact with the first side wall 540 The L-shaped base (lock base) is omitted, and the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the main body frame are formed in a closed space formed by the side surface 1001a and the first side wall 540 of the L-shaped base (lock base). It is good also as a structure which accommodates the sliding rod 1050. FIG. Even in this case, the same mounting structure and tamper-proof structure as in the embodiment can be obtained.

Next, the board unit 1100 attached to the lower part of the back surface of the main body frame 3 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 126 to 134. 126 is a perspective view of the board unit as seen from the back side, FIG. 127 is an exploded perspective view of the board unit as seen from the back side, and FIG. 128 is a perspective view of the board unit as seen from the front side. FIG. 129 is an exploded perspective view as seen from the front side of the substrate unit, FIG. 130 is a front view as seen from the front side of the substrate holder for the frame which is the main body of the substrate unit, and FIG. 132 is a rear view of the board unit, FIG. 133 is a rear view of the board unit with the dispensing control board box and the terminal board box removed, and FIG. FIG. 135 is a plan view showing the connection relationship between the boards provided in the board unit, FIG. 135 is a schematic diagram showing the electrical connection between the board unit and the game board, and FIG. 136 shows the payout control board and the board unit. of FIG. 137 is a game board for explaining a cross-sectional portion of the cross-sectional view of FIG. 138 (however, this game board is removed as shown in FIGS. 76 to 80). FIG. 138 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. 137.

  The substrate unit 1100 is attached to a plurality of holder mounting holes 527 (see FIGS. 68 and 70) formed in the lower part of the back surface of the main body frame 3, and as shown in FIGS. Various substrates such as a door relay substrate 1102, a power supply substrate box 1103, a terminal substrate box 1104, a payout control substrate box 1105, a main drawer relay substrate 1107, and a sub drawer relay substrate 1108 are attached to the resin-molded frame substrate holder 1101. It is comprised by. Among the above boards, the door relay board 1102, the power board box 1103, the terminal board box 1104, and the payout control board box 1105 are attached to the rear side of the frame board holder 1101 so as to overlap in the front-rear direction. The substrate 1107 and the sub drawer relay substrate 1108 are attached to the front side of the frame substrate holder 1101. As will be described later, since the power supply board 1136 creates and supplies + 34V, + 18V and + 9V, it becomes a very high-temperature heat source, and the heat generated from the power supply board 1136 rises. For this reason, the payout control board box 1105 for storing the payout control board 1186 is attached to the upper surface of the power supply board box 1103 so as not to receive the rising heat. A metal shield heat dissipating plate 1106 is attached to the back surface of the payout control board box 1105 in order to prevent the influence of electromagnetic waves from the power supply board 1136 and the like and to dissipate heat generated from the power supply board 1136. The main drawer relay board 1107 and the sub drawer relay board 1108 are covered and attached to the board cover 1109. Hereinafter, each member constituting the substrate unit 1100 will be described in detail.

  It should be noted that the shield heat dissipation plate 1106 in the present embodiment has a shield heat dissipation as shown in FIG. 127 and FIG. The plate surface of the plate 1106 is formed as an uneven surface 1106a. Heat transmitted to the payout control board 1186 by the shield heat sink 1106 can be kept small. The uneven surface 1106a increases the contact area with the outside (outside air) to enhance the heat dissipation effect. The uneven surface 1106a is desirably formed in a vertical or inclined shape so that heat can be easily dissipated when installed. Of course, even if the uneven surface 1106a is formed on the shield heat sink 1106, the shielding effect against electromagnetic waves is not impaired. The shield heat sink 1106 prevents the influence of electromagnetic waves from the power supply board 1136 and the like. Thereby, since the influence of the noise by electromagnetic waves can be suppressed, the malfunctioning of the payout control board 1186 accommodated in the payout control board box 1105 by the influence of noise can be prevented. Further, the shield heat dissipation function of the shield heat sink 1106 is not only between the power supply board box 1103 and the payout control board box 1105 but also when a plurality of other board boxes are attached to the frame board holder 1101 in an overlapping manner. Is also achieved by providing the same shield heat dissipating plate 1106 as in the present embodiment between the lower and upper substrate boxes.

  First, the frame substrate holder 1101 is formed in a horizontally long synthetic resin, and as shown in FIGS. 127 and 130, a wiring opening 1124 is formed on one side of the rear surface side (right side in FIG. 130).

The cover body 1300 according to the second embodiment is configured such that the lower side portion of the cover body 1300 when the cover body 1300 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3. Since the abutting lower side wall 1306 abuts and covers the upper side portion of the cover body 1181 of the dispensing control board box 1105 attached to the frame substrate holder 1101, the dispensing control is performed unless the cover body 1300 is opened. The substrate box 1105 cannot be removed from the frame substrate holder 1101. Further, since the cover body 1300 is locked by the cylinder lock 1309, not only an illegal act on the main control board box 624 covered by the cover body 1300 but also an illegal action on the dispensing control board box 1105 not covered by the cover body 1300 is prevented. be able to. Even when the cover body 1300 is closed and the cylinder lock 1309 is locked, since the connection operation opening 1303 is opened in the cover body 1300, the test terminals 624b and 624c for testing are inspected. The RAM clear switch 624a can be operated when a device is connected or when software or the like runs out of control and recovers. Further, a standing wall 1304 and a contact protrusion 1305 are formed inside the connection operation opening 1303 so that no gap is formed between the connection operation opening 1303 and the main control board box 624. A piano wire or the like can be inserted to prevent fraudulent acts on the back of the game board 4.

  Furthermore, the cover body 1300 according to the second embodiment is in a closed state, and the back side thereof is the same vertical plane when viewed from the rear end wall of the prize ball tank 720 and the rear end wall of the tank rail member 740. Therefore, when viewed from the back of the pachinko machine 1, there is no unevenness from the upper part to the lower part on the back side, and the shape is extremely refreshing. Because it is uniform and easy to grasp, it is easy to load and superimpose, and when it is actually installed on the island base of the amusement hall, the back of the pachinko machine 1 that is lined up backwards, It can be installed very smoothly without worrying about the wiring that protrudes from the top.

  Next, the movement of the left movable decorative body 3201 in the left movable decorative body unit 3200 of this example will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 151, 166, 181, and 182. In the normal gaming state, the left movable decorative body 3201 is located at the retracted position on the left outside of the frame of the center accessory 2300 as shown in FIG. 151, and is almost from the player side in the front view. It is in a state where it cannot be visually recognized. In this state, as shown in FIG. 166 (A), the left end of the slide rack 3216 in the left traversing unit 3210 is in contact with the right side of the left rail support portion 3212b in the main decoration body moving base 3212. At the same time, the detection piece 3216b of the slide rack 3216 is detected by the main decorative body position detection sensor 3226.

  In this state, when the main decoration body drive motor 3220 is driven and the pinion gear 3218 fixed to the rotation shaft is driven to rotate counterclockwise in plan view, the slide rack having a rack gear 3216a meshing with the pinion gear 3218 is obtained. 3216 is guided by the pair of rail members 3214 and moves to the right. As the slide rat 3216 moves, the main decorative body stay 3222 fixed to the stay fixing portion 3216d of the slide rack 3216 moves, and the left movable decorative body 3201 supported by the main decorative body stay 3222 moves to the right. (See FIG. 166 (B)). As a result, the left movable decorative body 3201 moves from the retracted position that is not visible from the player side to the appearance position that is located on the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1400 that is visible (see FIG. 181). .

  Note that the extension end guide member 3224 of the left traversing unit 3210 has a position in the front-rear direction substantially the same as the sub-decoration body 3203 of the left movable decoration body 3210, and the extension end guide member 3224 has a subordinate position directly below the extension end guide member 3224. In a state where the decorative body 3203 is positioned, the sub-decorative body 3203 cannot be raised. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 166 (B) and the like, the appearance position of the left movable decorative body 3201 is a position where at least the auxiliary decorative body 3203 has moved to the right side of the right end of the extended end guide member 3224.

  Further, in this example, as shown in the drawing, even when the left movable decorative body 3201 is located at the appearance position, it is located between the right end of the slide rack 3216 and the right rail support portion 3212b of the main decorative body moving base 3212. The rotational driving of the main decorative body drive motor 3220 stops at a position where a fixed gap is formed, so that the right end of the slide rack 3216 is prevented from coming into contact with the right rail support portion 3212b. It has become. The upper end of the connecting rod 3203a of the sub decorative body 3203 in the left movable decorative body 3201 is slidably connected in the left-right direction by the connecting slit 3250c of the slide member 3250 in the left elevating unit 3240, and a pair of elevating rails The connecting rod 3203a, that is, the left movable decorative body 3201 can be moved in the left-right direction without any problem with respect to the slide member 3250 whose left-right position is fixed by 3252.

  In a state where the left movable decorative body 3201 is located at the appearance position, the left movable decorative body 3201 is positioned in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400, and an effect image can be seen from the slightly opened opening window 3204 of the left movable decorative body 3201. It is like that. This makes it possible for the first player to think that the secondary decorative body 3203 is raised and the opening window 3204 becomes large, and not only the movement of the left movable decorative body 3201 but also the secondary decorative body. An expectation can be given depending on whether 3203 rises or not, and the interest of the player can be enhanced.

  Subsequently, from the state where the left movable decorative body 3201 is located at the appearance position, the sub decorative body 3203 is raised by the left elevating unit. More specifically, when the sub decorative body 3203 of the left movable decorative body 3201 is in the lowered position, the first operating shaft 3246a and the second operating shaft 3248a provided in the drive gear 3246 and the driven gear 3248 have the same height. The first operating shaft 3246a is positioned at the left end of the first moving slit 3250a in the slide member 3250, and the second operating shaft 3248a is positioned at the right end of the second moving slit 3250b in the slide member 3250. It is in a state. From this state, when the auxiliary decoration body drive motor 3244 in the left elevating unit 3240 is driven to rotate the drive gear 3246 counterclockwise when viewed from the front, the driven gear 3248 meshing with the drive gear 3246 rotates clockwise. To do. As the drive gear 3246 and the driven gear 3248 rotate, the first action shaft 3246a and the second action shaft 3248a rotate in the opposite directions from the position of the bottom dead center while keeping the same vertical position. In other words, it circulates in a state where the vertical direction is substantially in phase.

  As the first action shaft 3246a and the second action shaft 3248a move around, the action shafts 3246a and 3248a slide in the first movement slit 3250a and the second movement slit 3250b to the right and left, respectively. At the same time, the slide member 3250 guided by the pair of elevating rails 3252 slides upward. Along with the upward movement of the slide member 3250, the auxiliary decoration body 3203 is pulled up through the connection rod 3203 a whose upper end is inserted and connected to the connection slit 3250 c, and the auxiliary decoration body 3203 is raised with respect to the main decoration body 3202. As the sub-decorative body 3203 is raised, the opening window 3204 of the left movable decorative body 3201 is greatly expanded upward (see FIG. 166C).

  And when the 1st action shaft 3246a and the 2nd action shaft 3248a which go around reach the top dead center, while the rotation drive of the sub decoration body drive motor 3244 stops, the upward movement of the slide member 3250 stops, The sub decorative body 3203 stops at the raised position. As described above, the left movable decorative body 3201 positioned at the appearance position is positioned on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1400, and the rear side effect is displayed from the opening window 3204 that is widened by the rising of the sub decorative body 3203. The image can be sufficiently visually recognized.

  Although detailed illustration is omitted, in the liquid crystal display device 1400 of this example, different effect images are displayed in the area corresponding to the opening window 3204 of the left movable decorative body 3201 and the other areas. As a result, an independent effect image is displayed on the opening window 3204, so that the game is as if the image is displayed on the display unit (opening window 3204) of the mobile phone as if viewed from the left movable decorative body 3201. So that the player can have an illusion, the moving image of the left movable decorative body 3201 can be moved and the effect image displayed on the opening window 3204 can be enjoyed, and the player's interest in the game can be suppressed from decreasing. It has become.

  Further, in the left elevating unit 3240, the first action shaft 3246a and the second action shaft 3248a are moved around in a direction away from the position where the drive gear 3246 and the driven gear 3248 mesh with each other, and the first action shaft 3246a. Since the slide member 3250 is slid in the vertical direction at a position where the second action shaft 3248a approaches the left and right lift rails 3252 that slidably support the slide member 3250, the lift rail 3252 and the slide member 3250 are also slidable. As a result, the occurrence of rattling can be reduced as much as possible, and the slide member 3250 can be raised and lowered smoothly.

  On the other hand, when the left movable decorative body 3201 is returned to the retracted position, an operation reverse to the above is performed. First, the first decorative shaft projecting from the drive gear 3246 and the driven gear 3248 is driven by rotating the auxiliary decorative body driving motor 3244 clockwise in front view with respect to the auxiliary decorative body 3203 in the raised position. 3246a and the second action shaft 3248a each move so as to move downward from the top dead center toward the bottom dead center, and the slide member moves along with the orbital movement of the first action shaft 3246a and the second action shaft 3248a. 3250 also slides downward, and sub-decorative body 3203 descends. Then, when the first action shaft 3246a and the second action shaft 3248a reach the bottom dead center, the rotation driving of the auxiliary decoration body drive motor 3244 stops and the first action shaft 3246a and the second action shaft 3248a move around. The slide member 3250, that is, the descent of the sub decorative body 3203 stops, and the sub decorative body 3203 is positioned at the lowered position.

  When the main decorative body drive motor 3220 of the left traversing unit 3210 is driven to rotate clockwise in plan view with the sub decorative body 3203 positioned at the lowered position, the secondary decorative body 3203 slides by meshing the pinion gear 3218 and the rack gear 3216a. At the same time as the rack 3216 moves to the left, the main decoration body 3202 moves to the left together with the sub decoration body 3203 via the main decoration body stay 3222 fixed to the slide rack 3216. Thereafter, when the detection piece 3216b of the slide rack 3216 is detected by the main decoration body position detection sensor 3226, the rotation of the main decoration body drive motor 3220 stops and simultaneously the movement of the main decoration body 3202 to the left stops, The main decorative body 3202, that is, the left movable decorative body 3201 is located at the retracted position, and the left movable decorative body 3201 returns to the normal state.

  Thus, according to the left movable decorative body unit 3200 of this example, the left movable decorative body 3201 imitating a mobile phone hidden on the left side of the liquid crystal display device 1400 is traversed in accordance with the gaming state. 1400 appears on the front side of 1400, and the secondary decorative body 3203 rises from the main decorative body 3202, and the opening window 3204 as a display unit of the mobile phone expands. Therefore, the left movable decoration that moves in two directions in two stages The movement of the body 3201 can entertain the player, and an effect image as if the image is displayed can be displayed on the open window 3204 enlarged by the liquid crystal display device 1400. The player can be entertained not only by the movement of the decorative body 3201 but also by the effect image displayed on the opening window 3204. There can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the left movable decorative body 3201 appears and a predetermined effect image can be seen through the opening window 3204, it is possible to remind the player that something is likely to be good. Thus, it is possible to increase a sense of expectation for the occurrence of an advantageous game state such as a “hit” game, and to suppress a decrease in interest for the game.

  Next, the movement of the right movable decorative body 3301 in the right movable decorative unit 3300 of this example will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 170 and FIG. In the normal gaming state, as shown in FIG. 151, the right movable decorative body 3301 is in an initial position state in which the distal end tilts to the right with respect to the proximal end at the right end in the frame of the center accessory 2300. . In this state, the tip of the right movable decorative body 3301 is not visible from the player side by the frame of the center accessory 2300, and the right movable decorative body 3301 is in a contracted state. When the right movable ornament 3301 is in the initial position, the rotation detection piece 3318a of the rotation gear 3318 is detected by the right ornament rotation detection sensor 3320. From this state, when the right decorative body rotation drive motor 3314 is driven to rotate the drive gear 3316 in a clockwise direction in a front view, the rotation gear meshes with the rotation of the drive gear 3316. 3318 rotates in the counterclockwise direction around the axis of the bearing member 3330 fixed to the right decorative body unit base 3312 (around the rotation shaft 3302a of the right decorative body base 3302). At the same time, the right decorative body base 3302 and the right decorative body main body 3303 are rotated in the counterclockwise direction.

  In this example, the rotation gear 3318 is rotated within an angle range of about 40 degrees by the right decoration body rotation drive motor 3314, and the right movable decoration body 3301 is moved from the initial position described above. When the counterclockwise rotation is about 8 degrees, the right movable decorative body 3301 is in a first vertical position (see FIGS. 170 and 183), and is counterclockwise from the initial position described above. When rotated about 40 degrees, the right movable decorative body is in the second position (see FIGS. 170 and 184) where the tip of the right movable decorative body points to the letter “A” on the left side of the logo decorative body 2330 It becomes.

  In order to return the right movable decorative body 3301 rotated to the first position or the second position to the initial position where the tip is inclined to the right, the right decorative body rotation drive motor 3314 is rotated in the opposite direction. The right movable decorative body 3301 can be rotated around the rotation shaft 3302a on the proximal end side in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. When the rotation detection piece 3318a of the rotation gear 3318 is detected by the right decoration body rotation detection sensor 3320, the rotation of the right decoration body rotation drive motor 3314 is stopped, so that the right movable decoration body 3301 is moved. The tip can be returned to the initial position tilted to the right.

  The right movable decorative body 3301 is not extended in the initial position with the tip tilted to the right, and the right movable decorative body 3301 rotates from the initial position and extends when the first position or the second position is reached. It is like that. The right movable decorative body 3301 is configured such that the slide detecting piece 3344b of the slide rack 3344 is detected by the right decorative body slide detection sensor 3352 in a normal contracted state. The right movable decorative body 3301 is expanded and contracted in a counterclockwise direction when the pinion gear 3346 is viewed from the front by a right decorative body slide drive motor 3348 fixed to the rear side of the base cover 3350 that rotates together with the right decorative body base 3302. When driven to rotate, the slide rack 3344 is slid to the front end side (upper side) by the rack gear 3344a meshed with the pinion gear 3346. The right decorative body main body 3303 is connected to the upper end of the slide rack 3344 through the first slide slit 3302b of the right decorative body base 3302, and the right decorative body main body 3303 moves to the front end side as the slide rack 3344 moves. It will be.

  In order to contract the extended right movable decorative body 3303, the right decorative body main body 3303 is slid in the contracting direction (base end direction) by rotating the right decorative body slide drive motor 3348 in the opposite direction. Can be made. When the slide detection piece 3344b of the slide rack 3344 is detected by the right decorative body slide detection sensor 3352, the right movable decorative body 3301 contracts by stopping the rotation of the right decorative body slide drive motor 3348. It is possible to return to the state of.

  In the pachinko machine 1 (game board 4) of this example, when the right movable decorative body 3301 is in the first position and the second position, the tip of the right movable decorative body 3301 is located at a position away from the tip in the extending direction by a predetermined distance. Stretch restricting members 2350 and 3401c that are in contact with each other and restrict the stretch of the right movable decorative body 3301 are disposed (see FIG. 171 and the like). In the right movable decorative body 3301, the distal end of the distal end member 3304 disposed on the distal end side of the right decorative body main body 3303 that moves in the extending direction in accordance with the movement of the slide rack 3344 toward the distal end side becomes the extension regulating members 2350 and 3401c. When abutting, the tip member 3304 is prevented from further moving in the extending direction, and the extension of the entire length of the right movable decorative body 3301 is stopped.

  When the right movable decorative body 3301 slides the slide rack 3344 further to the front end side by driving the right decorative body slide drive motor 3348 with the front end of the front end member 3304 in contact with the extension regulating members 2350 and 3401c, The right decorative body main body 3303 moves in the extending direction against the urging force of the coil spring 3304d arranged between the right decorative body main body 3304 and, at the same time, the lower end of the plug shaft 3304c of the front end member 3344 is the lens portion of the right decorative body main body 3303. It will be immersed in 3303a.

  In the right movable decorative body 3301, the plug shaft 3304 c of the tip member 3304 is immersed in the lens portion 3303 a of the right decorative body main body 3303 so that the main body portion 3304 a of the tip member 3304 and the cap portion 3303 d of the right decorative body main body 3303 are relative to each other. When the distance changes, the movable decorative portion 3305 arranged therebetween moves. More specifically, as described above, the movable decorative portion 3305 is supported by the upper end of the lower collar member 3305b whose lower end is rotatably supported by the right decorative body main body 3303 and the upper end of the movable member 3305 by the tip member 3304. Since the lower end of the upper collar member 3305c is rotatably connected, the lower collar member 3305b and the upper collar member 3305c are pivotally supported when the relative distance between the right decorative body main body 3303 and the tip member 3304 changes. It is designed to rotate at the part. Therefore, for example, when the right decorative body main body 3303 and the tip member 3304 are relatively close to each other, the portion where the lower collar member 3305b and the upper collar member 3305c are connected is away from the longitudinal axis of the right movable decorative body 3301. When the right decorative body main body 3303 and the distal end member 3304 are relatively separated from each other, the portion where the lower collar member 3305b and the upper collar member 3305c are connected moves in a direction approaching the longitudinal axis. The lower eaves member 3305b and the upper eaves member 3305c arranged symmetrically on both sides with respect to the direction axis line move like a pantograph (see FIGS. 171 (B) and (C)).

  In the right movable decorative body 3301 of this example, the slide rack 3344, that is, the right decorative body main body 3303 is extended in the extending direction while maintaining the state where the distal end of the plug portion 3304b of the distal end member 3304 is in contact with the expansion / contraction restriction members 2350 and 3401c. The movement of the movable decorative portion 3305 is deformed and movable by the expansion and contraction of the right decorative body main body 3303. Since it repeats, the movement of the right movable decorative body 3301 can be made more conspicuous and the movement can be enjoyed.

  Although details will be described later, the upper left movable decorative body 3401 appears to descend in the extending direction when the right movable decorative body 3301 is tilted to the left and tilted to the second position, and the right movable decorative body 3301 is movable to the right. The front end of the decorative body 3301 can come into contact with an expansion / contraction regulating member 3401c provided in the upper left movable decorative body 3401. As a result, the front end of the right movable decorative body 3301 obliquely cuts the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1400 and is inserted into the upper left movable decorative body 3401 so as to show the player a movable effect with higher impact. Can surprise the player and attract attention.

And an intrusion ball discharge port 3117 is opened in the housing portion 2340, and the game ball supplied to the stage member 2320 is at the right end of the first stage 2321 or the second stage 2322 for some reason. In the case of entering the housing portion 2340 beyond the arranged rolling restricting portion 2341, it can be discharged to the outside from the intruding ball discharge port 3117. Further, even when the game ball that has entered the housing portion 2340 stays near the intrusion ball discharge port 3117, the right movable decorative body 3301 rotates from the initial position to the second position, so that the right movable decorative body 3301 The base decoration member 3328 moves in a direction approaching the rolling restricting portion 2341, and the game ball in the storage portion 2340 is pushed by the base decoration member 3328 toward the intrusion ball discharge port 3117, and the outside from the intrusion ball discharge port 3117. Will be discharged.

  Accordingly, the game ball that has entered the housing portion 2340 beyond the rolling restricting portion 2341 can be reliably discharged from the intrusion ball discharge port 3117, and the rotation of the right movable decorative body 3301 is hindered by the intruded game ball. It is possible to rotate smoothly without being done. When the right movable decorative body 3301 is in the second position, as shown in FIG. 184 and the like, the right movable decorative body 3301 is positioned so as to be substantially in contact with the rolling restricting portion 2341. As a result, the rolling restricting portion 2341 is extended further upward, and even if the game ball on the stage member 2320 exceeds the rolling restricting portion 2341 for some reason, the right movable decorative body 3301 causes the stage 2321, 2322 side. The game ball is prevented from deviating from the stage member 2320.

  As described above, according to the right movable decorative body unit 3300 of the present example, the base end side disposed below the liquid crystal display device 1400 in the right movable decorative body 3301 rotates around the rotation shaft 3302a according to the gaming state.

The movement of the right movable ornament 3301 can surprise the player and draw attention to the right movable ornament 3301, etc. Since the decorative body 3301 rotates and expands and contracts, the type of movement (movable pattern) can be diversified, and the movement of the right movable decorative body 3301 can be made difficult to get tired. Interest is made to be able to suppress a decrease with respect to users of the game.

  Further, since the right movable decorative body 3301 can be decorated with light emission by the respective decorative boards 3303c, 3338 and the like provided, not only the movable effect of the right movable decorative body 3301 but also the light emission effect can be shown to the player. The number of types of effect patterns by the right movable decorative body 3301 can be increased, and it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from deteriorating by delighting the player, and to make the right movable decorative body 3301 more prominent. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's interest strongly can be obtained.

[3-4. LCD control board]
Next, a liquid crystal control board 4150 that performs drawing control of the liquid crystal display device 1400 on the peripheral board 4010, as illustrated, a liquid crystal control MPU 4150a as a microprocessor, and a liquid crystal control that stores various processing programs, various commands, and various data. ROM 4150b, VDP (Video Display Processor) 4150c for controlling the display of the above-described liquid crystal display device 1400, character ROM 4150d for storing various screen data displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400, and character ROM 4150d. And a character RAM 4150e to which various data are transferred and copied.

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a includes a parallel input / output port, a serial input / output port, and the like. When the display command described above is received from the peripheral control board 4140, the detailed description thereof will be described later, but based on the received display command. The VDP 4150c is controlled to perform drawing control of the liquid crystal display device 1400. When the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is operating normally, as described above, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control board 4140.

  The liquid crystal control ROM 4150b stores a plurality of schedule data corresponding to display commands, non-resident area transfer schedule data corresponding to display commands, and the like in addition to various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data defining the screen configuration in time series, and the order of screens drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400 is defined. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is constituted by arranging non-resident area transfer data that defines the order when transferring various data stored in the character ROM 4150d to a non-resident area (to be described later) of the character RAM 4150e. . In this non-resident area transfer data, the order of transferring various data from the character ROM 4150d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150e in advance is defined for the screen data drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400 according to the progress of the schedule data.

  Upon receiving a display command from the peripheral control board 4140, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts schedule data corresponding to the display command, extracts the top screen data of the extracted schedule data from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b, and outputs it to the VDP 4150c. . Then, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts screen data following the top screen data and outputs the screen data to the VDP 4150c. As described above, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data one by one from the head screen data, and outputs the extracted screen data to the VDP 4150c.

  The VDP 4150c is a drawing circuit capable of directly operating an LCD driver incorporated in the first display panel 1400a or the second display panel 1400b, and a first register (not shown) corresponding to the first display panel 1400a. And a second register (not shown) corresponding to the second display panel 1400b. When the screen data is input to the first register and the second register by the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a, the VDP 4150c extracts sprite data to be described later from the character RAM 4150e based on the input screen data, and the first display panel 1400a and the first display panel 1400a. The drawing data to be displayed on the two display panel 1400b is generated, and the LCD drivers of the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b are controlled based on the generated drawing data, and the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b. Display an image. The VDP 4150c employs a line buffer method. In this “line buffer method”, drawing data for one line for drawing the left and right directions of the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b is held in a line buffer, and drawing for one line held in the line buffer is performed. In this method, data is output to the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b.

  The character ROM 4150d stores an extremely large amount of sprite data and has a large capacity. If the capacity of the character ROM 4150d increases, that is, if the number of sprites drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400 increases, the access speed of the character ROM 4150d cannot be ignored, and the drawing speed on the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b is affected. Will be. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sprite data stored in the character ROM 4150d is transferred and copied to the character RAM 4150e having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the character RAM 4150e. The sprite data is base data that is data before the sprite is expanded into the bitmap format, and is stored in the character ROM 4150d in a compressed state.

  Here, the “sprite” is an image displayed as a unit on the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b. For example, when various persons are displayed on the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b, data for drawing each person is referred to as “sprite”. Accordingly, when a plurality of persons are displayed on the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to a person, a house, a mountain, a road, and the like constituting the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be a single sprite. The first display panel 1400a and the second display panel are set with respect to the positions of the sprites and the vertical relationship when the sprites overlap (hereinafter referred to as “the order of sprite superimposition”). 1400b.

  Note that the sprite is formed by bonding a plurality of rectangular regions of 64 pixels vertically and horizontally. Data for drawing this rectangular area is called a “character”. In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, it is expressed using a total of six characters arranged in 2 × 3 horizontal, for example. be able to. In the case of a larger sprite such as the background, it can be expressed using a larger number of characters. Thus, the number and arrangement of characters can be arbitrarily designated for each sprite.

  The first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b each have 800 pixels in the left-right direction and 600 pixels (SVGA) in the up-down direction, and sequentially follow the pixels from the left to the right of each display panel. In addition, driving is performed by main scanning for setting a display state for each pixel in one direction and sub-scanning for repeatedly performing main scanning in a direction crossing the one direction. When the drawing data for one line output from the liquid crystal control board 4150 is input to the LCD drivers of the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b, the LCD driver is based on the drawing data for one line. Then, the pixels are sequentially output to the pixels for one line from the left to the right of the display panel (first display panel 1400a or second display panel 1400b) as main scanning. When the output for one line is completed, the process proceeds to the line immediately below as sub-scanning. Similarly, when drawing data for the next line is input, the display panel is used as the main scanning based on the drawing data for the next line. Are sequentially output from the left to the right for pixels for one line.

And a second special symbol memory number display control means 4230 to be displayed on the second special symbol memory display 644.

  These first special symbol hold storage means 4214 and second special symbol hold storage means 4224 are newly added special symbols such as the first and second special symbol display control means 4218 and 4228 are variably displayed. When the first and second special symbol lottery unit data based on the start winnings at the first and second start ports 2001 and 2002 are stored, respectively, up to a predetermined number (for example, four each). The execution of the stored first and second special symbol lottery unit data is suspended until the special symbol can be changed.

  Note that the main control board 4100 starts the first and second special symbol lottery unit data held by the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 to the start ports 2001 and 2002. Priority holding digest means 4231 for executing (digesting) the second special symbol lottery unit data in preference to the winning timing is provided, and the second special symbol lottery unit data, that is, The suspension of the lottery result relating to the second start port 2002 is preferentially executed (digested).

  Further, the main control board 4100 has a jackpot which will be described later according to a lottery result based on the first special symbol lottery unit data (first special lottery result) and a lottery result based on the second special symbol lottery unit data (second special lottery result). An advantageous game state generating means 4232 for executing a game or a small hit game, and an opening / closing member 2006 for closing the special winning opening 2003 based on an instruction from the advantageous game state generating means 4232 is opened and closed in a predetermined pattern. And a prize winning opening / closing control means 4234 for controlling the driving of 2016.

  The main control board 4100 further includes game state control means 4236 for determining which gaming state the pachinko machine 1 is in, and controlling the gaming state based on the determined gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, the game state of the pachinko machine 1 is an external game state in which the game state can be grasped from the appearance of the pachinko machine 1, and the player is more external than the external normal game state (normal game state) and this external normal game state. The game state is controlled to any one of the external advantageous game states (chance game state) that is advantageous to the game.

  The external normal gaming state is a gaming state in which the opening extension function (the function in which the opening time of the movable piece 2005 becomes longer than normal) and the time-shortening function (the function in which the fluctuation time of the normal symbol and the special symbol is shortened) are not activated. The pair of movable pieces 2005 is in a gaming state that is not controlled by a promotion mode described later. In other words, as described above, the pair of movable pieces 2005 open and close when the result of the normal lottery is won, thereby enabling the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 2002. However, as the operation mode when the movable piece 2005 operates, the first operation mode (normal mode) and the second operation mode (promotion mode) that is more advantageous to the player than the first operation mode. ) And are prepared.

  In the present embodiment, in a gaming state where the opening extension function and the time reduction function do not operate, as a first operation mode, the probability that the normal lottery result is won is 2%, the variation time of the normal symbol is 10 sec, and the pair of movable pieces 2005 Is set to be opened once per winning with an opening time of 0.18 sec per opening. In the game state in which the opening extension function and the time-shortening function are activated, the second operation mode is that the probability of winning the normal lottery result is 99.6%, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 0.5 sec, and a pair of movable pieces 2005 is set to be opened 3 times per winning with an opening time of 0.95 sec per opening.

  In the external normal game state, the first operation mode is adopted as the operation mode when the movable piece 2005 operates. As described above, the first operation mode is a mode in which winning of a game ball to the second start port 2002 is less likely to be promoted as compared to the second operation mode.

  On the other hand, the external advantageous game state is a game state in which the opening extension function and the time-shortening function are activated, and the second operation mode (promotion mode) is adopted as an operation mode when the pair of movable pieces 2005 operate. A gaming state. Here, the “promotion mode” is a mode in which winning of a game ball to the second start port 2002 is promoted.

  In the “promotion mode”, any of the three modes of increasing the probability that the normal lottery result is won, shortening the lottery time (shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol), and increasing the opening time of the pair of movable pieces 2005 is selected. The promotion mode may be performed by performing only one or two, or the promotion mode may be performed by performing all three.

  In addition, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 includes an internally controlled gaming state that is difficult to grasp from the appearance. In the present embodiment, a gaming state in which the probability changing function (so-called probability changing function) is activated and a gaming state in which the probability changing function is not activated correspond to it.

  When the probability changing function is not activated, the probability that the first special lottery result and the second special lottery result are won in a big win is set to a predetermined low probability (first probability: about 1/350 in the present embodiment). On the other hand, when the probability variation function is activated, a predetermined high probability that the probability of winning the first special lottery result and the second special lottery result is at least twice as large as the first probability (second probability: this implementation) In the embodiment, the second probability (about 1/35) set to 10 times the first probability is set. In this way, when the probability variation function is activated, the probability of winning the jackpot is at least double that when the probability variation function is not activated when the probability variation function is not activated when the probability variation function is activated. This is because it is possible to win a big hit at a stage where the number of fluctuations in the special symbol is small compared to the above, thereby suppressing the decrease in interest.

  In the present embodiment, the external normal gaming state in which the probability changing function is not activated is referred to as “external normal gaming state A”, and the external normal gaming state in which the probability changing function is activated is referred to as “external normal gaming state B”. Further, the external advantageous gaming state in which the probability changing function is not activated is referred to as “external advantageous gaming state A”, and the external advantageous gaming state in which the probability varying function is activated is referred to as “external advantageous gaming state B”.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player cannot distinguish between the external normal gaming state A and the external normal gaming state B depending on the operation of the movable piece 2005. Similarly, the external advantageous gaming state A And the external advantageous game state B cannot be distinguished by the operation of the movable piece 2005.

  In addition, a change from one of the gaming states to a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player is performed only when the condition device is activated based on a special lottery result. Of the four game states (external normal game state A, external normal game state B, external advantageous game state A, external advantageous game state B), the most advantageous game state for the player is external advantageous game state B. Yes, the most disadvantageous game state for the player is the external normal game state A. Therefore, a change from the external normal game state A to another game state (external normal game state B, external advantageous game state A and external advantageous game state B), a change from the external advantageous game state A to the external advantageous game state B, etc. Is not performed unless the condition device is activated.

  Further, the main control board 4100 includes command generation means 4238 for generating predetermined control commands such as effect commands based on the first special symbol lottery unit data and the second special symbol lottery unit data, and command generation means. Command transmission means 4240 for transmitting the command generated in 4238 to the peripheral control board 4140.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the storage tray 311 of the tray unit 300 is transparent when the player rotates the operation handle portion 461 disposed at the lower right of the door frame 5. A game is started with a game ball by being driven into the upper part of the game area 605 disposed on the front surface of the game panel 600. The game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the game area 605 flows down in the game area 605 on the upper left side or the right side of the center accessory 2300 depending on the driving strength. Note that the game ball driving strength can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the operation handle portion 461, and the game ball can be driven more strongly as it is rotated in the clockwise direction. Also, in the game area 605, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted on the front surface of the game panel 600 in a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions, and the game balls come into contact with the obstacle nails so that the game balls flow down. The speed is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movements can be enjoyed.

  When a game ball driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2300 flows down from the left and right sides to the upper shelf 2311 of the center accessory 2300, the upper shelf 2311 moves to the left area of the center accessory 2300. It is induced. Then, when a game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2300 enters the gate 2201 of the gate member 2200 disposed on the left side surface of the center accessory 2300 and is detected by the gate sensor 2202, based on the detection signal. In the main control board 4100, ordinary random number generation means 4200 generates ordinary random numbers. Then, according to the normal lottery result based on the normal random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 645 in the function display unit 640 is displayed in a variable manner (the normal symbol display 645 including one LED is alternately displayed in red, green, and orange. The normal symbol extracted based on the normal lottery result is stopped and displayed (the normal symbol display 645 emits red or green). The normal symbol fluctuation display is performed based on the normal symbol fluctuation pattern selected from the predetermined normal symbol fluctuation pattern selection table by the normal symbol fluctuation pattern selection means 4204.

  Specifically, when the lottery result based on the normal random number is a win, the normal symbol indicating the winning is stopped (the normal symbol display 645 emits green light), and when the lottery result based on the normal random number is lost, Is displayed with a normal symbol indicating that the normal symbol indicator 645 emits red light. When the normal symbol indicating the hit is stopped and displayed, the pair of movable pieces 2005 for closing the second start port 2002 are opened for a predetermined number of times as described above, and the second start port 2002 is opened. Game balls can be won.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, on the upper side of the center accessory 2300, an area where game balls can flow is provided from the center to the left side in the left-right direction, but the right side from the center follows the outer periphery of the game area 605. An arc-shaped area extending downward is provided, and when a game ball enters this area, the game ball is sent to the lower side of the center accessory 2300 without obtaining an opportunity to enter the gate 2201 or the warp inlet 2313. As a result, the chances are reduced and the movement of the game ball becomes less enjoyable. Accordingly, the player plays the game by adjusting the amount of rotation of the operation handle portion 461 as appropriate so that the game ball flows down from the center in the left-right direction on the upper side of the center accessory 2300. It is possible to prevent the game from being reduced by reducing the game operation such that the player is strongly driven and entertaining the game by operating the operation handle portion 461 of the pachinko machine 1.

  By the way, in this example, when the normal symbol display unit 645 displays the fluctuation of the normal symbol and the gate sensor 2202 detects the passing of the game ball, the normal symbol of the fluctuation is stopped and the normal symbol generated and extracted first is stopped. Until the result of the random number is confirmed, the normal random number (including the normal symbol variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2202 is temporarily stored in the normal symbol storage holding means 4202 and displayed. The number of stored ordinary random numbers (also referred to as the number of holdings) is displayed on the normal symbol storage display 646. This normal symbol memory display 646 is composed of four LEDs, and suggests the number of memories according to the number of each LED to be lit. In this example, up to four are stored and displayed. ing. When the number of memories exceeds four, the ordinary random number extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2202 is discarded.

  In addition, the game balls that have been driven into the game area 605 and have flowed down the left side of the center prize 2300 are drawn to the center of the game area 605 below the center prize 2300 by the shelf 2102 of the side prize port member 2100. It has become. Then, when a game ball wins a general winning opening 2004, 2101 disposed below the center accessory 2300 and is detected by the general winning opening sensor 3108, the main control board 4100 performs payout control based on the detection signal. A predetermined payout command is transmitted to the board 1186, and the payout control board 1186 controls the payout motor 815 of the prize ball unit 800 in accordance with the payout command to store a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls. The tray 311 is paid out.

  Note that if the game ball that has been driven into the game area 605 does not win any of the general winning opening 2004, 2101, the first starting opening 2001, the second starting opening 2002, and the big winning opening 2003, the gaming area It is provided at the lower center of the left and right direction of 605 and is discharged from the out port 606 to the lower rear side of the game board 4. In addition, regardless of whether the game ball wins the general winning opening 2004, 2101, the first starting opening 2001, the second starting opening 2002, or the big winning opening 2003, the winning game ball is returned to the gaming area 605. It is discharged to the lower rear side of the game board 4 without being discharged.

  On the other hand, when a game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2300 enters the warp inlet 2313 that opens on the left side surface of the center accessory 2300, the game ball moves to the first stage 2321 on the rear side of the stage member 2320 of the center accessory 2300. It comes to be supplied. The game ball supplied onto the first stage 2321 rolls on the first stage 2321 in the left-right direction, is released forward, and is supplied onto the second stage 2322. Also in the second stage 2322, the game ball rolls in the left-right direction and is released into the game area 605 above the attacker unit 2000. When the game ball supplied to the stage member 2320 enters the central chance entrance 2323 in the first stage 2321, the game ball 605 is placed into the game area 605 from the chance exit 2324 disposed immediately above the first start port 2001 in the attacker unit 2000. The game balls are released and can be accepted into the first starting port 2001 with a high probability. When a game ball is received by the first start port 2001 and detected by the first start port sensor 3115, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls from the prize ball unit 800 via the main control board 4100 or the like. Is paid out to the storage tray 311.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the first starting port 2001, the second starting port 2002, and the big winning port 2003 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, so that the game balls released from the stage member 2320 are If the game ball is released from the stage member 2320 or the chance exit 2324 when the second start port 2002 or the big prize port 2003 is acceptable, the first start port 2001 can be received with high probability. Since there is a high possibility of being accepted, not only the first starting port 2001 but also the second starting port 2002 and the grand prize winning port 2003 can be expected to have a sense of expectation regarding the acceptance of game balls so as to enhance the interest. It has become.

  By the way, if the game ball enters the gate 2201 of the gate member 2200 and is detected by the gate sensor 2202 to obtain a normal random number, and the normal lottery result based on the normal random number is a win, as described above, the second start port A pair of movable pieces 2005 that close 2002 are spread for a predetermined time to be able to win a prize, and when the prize can be won, a game ball is received by the second start opening 2002 and detected by the second start opening sensor 2012. Then, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out to the storage tray 311 from the prize ball unit 800 via the main control board 4100 and the like.

  On the main control board 4100, when a game ball wins the first start port 2001 and the second start port 2002 and is detected by the first start port sensor 3115 and the second start port sensor 2012, the first start port At the port 2001, the first special random number generator 4212 generates and extracts a predetermined first special random number. At the second start port 2002, the second special random number generator 4222 generates and extracts a predetermined second special random number. Is called. Then, based on the extracted special random number, it is extracted after the display of variation of the special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 641 or the second special symbol display 642 corresponding to the function display unit 640 is started. The special symbol corresponding to the special random number is stopped and displayed as a special lottery result. In the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting “big hit”, the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern. A big hit game (special advantageous game state) occurs, and a game ball is awarded to the big prize opening 2003 during that time, so that more game balls can be acquired. When one game ball wins the big prize opening 2003, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out from the prize ball unit 800 to the storage tray 311.

  Note that, in the first start port 2001 and the second start port 2002, the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 are displayed in the same manner as the normal symbol variation display by the entry of the game ball into the gate 2201. When the special symbol is variably displayed or when the special symbol such as the big hit game cannot be variably displayed, the game ball is won at the start ports 2001 and 2002 and the first start port sensor 3115 and the second start port sensor 2012 are displayed. The first and second special random numbers extracted based on the detection signals from the first start port sensor 3115 and the second start port sensor 2012 until the special symbol variation display is enabled. The special symbol lottery unit data including the first special symbol hold storage means 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 are stored and the display thereof is held. The number of stored special symbol lottery unit data was the (number pending), and displays in the first special symbol memory indicator 643 or the second special symbol memory indicator 644. Each of the first special symbol memory display 643 and the second special symbol memory display 644 is composed of two LEDs, and suggests the number of memories depending on the combination of the light emission state of each LED that is turned off / on / flashing. In this example, up to four each are stored and displayed. In addition, when the number of reservations exceeds four, the extracted special random number or the like is discarded. Further, the second special symbol lottery unit data stored (held) in the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 by the priority reservation digest unit 4231 is stored in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214. Execution (digestion) is prioritized over unit data. That is, the lottery result hold related to the second start port 2002 is executed (digested) with priority over the lottery result hold related to the first start port 2001.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, the first and second special symbol lottery unit data extracted based on the detection of the first start port sensor 3115 and the second start port sensor 2012 are used as a predetermined determination table determined in advance. By collating, it is determined whether the first and second special symbol lottery unit data is “losing”, “small hit”, or “big hit”, and “big hit A” for “big hit” It is also determined whether it is any one of “big hit B”, “big hit C”, “big hit D”, and “big hit E”.

  The lottery result (special lottery result) based on the first and second special symbol lottery unit data extracted in response to the start winning of the game ball at the first start port 2001 and the second start port 2002 is “small hits”. ”, The main control board 4100 executes a small hit game. In the small hit game, the main control board 4100 repeats opening / closing of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 by the advantageous game state generating means 4232 a plurality of times (15 times in this embodiment) in a short opening / closing pattern. Yes. The short-time opening / closing pattern is a condition that a predetermined short time (for example, 0.05 seconds to 0.6 seconds elapses) or a predetermined number (for example, two) of game balls wins the big winning opening 2003. Is satisfied, the opening / closing member 2006 is closed.

  On the other hand, when the special lottery result is “big hit A” or “big hit B”, the main control board 4100 executes the long open big hit game. In the long open big hit game, the main control board 4100 repeats opening / closing of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 by the advantageous game state generating means 4232 a plurality of times (15 times in this embodiment) in a long time opening / closing pattern. ing. In the long open / close pattern, a predetermined long time (for example, 26 seconds to 33 seconds) elapses after the open / close member 2006 is opened, or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the grand prize opening 2003. When any of the conditions is satisfied, the opening / closing member 2006 is in a closed state.

  Further, when the special lottery result is “big hit C” or “big hit D”, the main control board 4100 executes the short open big hit game. In the short open big hit game, the main control board 4100 repeats the opening / closing of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 by the advantageous game state generating means 4232 a plurality of times (15 times in the present embodiment) in the short-time opening / closing pattern described above. It has become. When the special lottery result is “big hit E”, the main control board 4100 executes the long open big hit game after the short open. In the long open big hit game after the short opening, the main control board 4100 opens and closes the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 by the advantageous game state generating means 4232 a plurality of times (in this embodiment, 15 times). ) After repeating, the above-described long-time opening / closing pattern is repeated a plurality of times (in this embodiment, 15 times).

  The operation of the opening / closing member 2006 performed in the case of the “small hit” described above and the operation of the opening / closing member 2006 performed in the case of the “big hit C” and “big hit D” are the same. Whether the special lottery result is “small hit”, “big hit C”, or “big hit D” cannot be determined only by the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 2006. Further, the operation of the opening / closing member 2006 performed in the case of “small hit”, “big hit C” and “big hit D” and the operation in the short time opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing member 2006 performed in the case of “big hit E” Identical. As a result, the player operates the opening / closing member 2006 in a short-time opening / closing pattern to determine whether the special lottery result is “small jackpot”, “big jackpot C”, “big jackpot D”, or “big jackpot E”. I cannot judge while I am. That is, the player recognizes from the operation of the opening / closing member 2006 that the special lottery result is “hit E” when the opening / closing member 2006 operates in the short-time opening / closing pattern and then starts to operate in the long-time opening / closing pattern. it can. Then, when the opening / closing member 2006 operates in a short-time opening / closing pattern and the player does not operate in a long-time opening / closing pattern, the player has a special lottery result of “small hit”, “big hit C”, or “big hit D”. Can be recognized from the operation of the opening and closing member 2006. Note that, after the end of the predetermined number of rounds, for “big hit”, processing for exchanging the random number determination table with a high-probability time / short table is performed by the lottery condition changing unit 4236 based on the big hit type.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 of the function display unit 640 are variably displayed according to the special lottery result, and the liquid crystal display device 1400 is displayed. Also, the effect image according to the special lottery result is displayed. Specifically, in the liquid crystal display device 1400, the variable display of each symbol row is started in a state where a series of symbol rows composed of a plurality of different symbols is displayed (for example, three rows), and then sequentially stopped. When all the symbol sequences are finally displayed in a stopped state, the determination result of the special random number extracted by the combination of the symbols displayed in a stopped state is suggested to the player side. That is, according to the special lottery result by the start winning, an effect image that is stopped and displayed so as to suggest the special lottery result after a plurality of symbol sequences are variably displayed is displayed. Note that since the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 are larger and easier to see than the special symbols on the first and second special symbol displays 641 and 642, the player is generally displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400. Pay attention to the design. The liquid crystal display device 1400 can display not only an effect display related to the start winning prize but also a “hit game effect image” displayed during the jackpot game.

  Note that the special symbol variation display on the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 is directly controlled by the main control board 4100 (see FIG. 189). The symbol variation display on the liquid crystal display device 1400 is controlled by the peripheral control board 4140 and the liquid crystal control board 4150 based on a command related to the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control board 4140. ing. As a result, the variable display of the symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1400 that is particularly noticed by the player is controlled by the peripheral control board 4140 or the like, so that a certain one related to the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100 is obtained. A plurality of symbol variation patterns can be prepared in advance for one command to increase the symbol variation patterns in the liquid crystal display device 1400. Also, the “hit game effect image” displayed during the jackpot game is controlled by the peripheral control board 4140 and the like, and various patterns of effect images are prepared in advance. Thereby, the display pattern of the effect image displayed without increasing the calculation processing load on the main control board 4100 can be increased, and the pachinko machine 1 that makes the player more entertaining and less likely to get bored can be obtained. It has become.

  In addition, in the peripheral control board 4140, in addition to the control of the effect image, various movable decorative bodies 2330b, 3201, 3301, 3401, 3501, and the like provided in the back unit 3000 are appropriately set based on a command related to the lottery result. In addition to being operated, the LEDs mounted on the various decorative boards 2020, 3104, 3205, 3303c, 3338, 3414, and 3524 provided in the game board 4 and the like are appropriately driven. Can be entertained.

  Thus, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the rolling restriction portion 2341 is provided at the right end opposite to the warp outlet 2314 that discharges and supplies the game balls onto the stages 2321 and 2322. The rolling end of the game ball rolling in the left-right direction can be restricted, and the game ball can be prevented from entering the right movable decorative body 3301 side outside the right end portions of the stages 2321 and 2322. Further, when the game ball exceeds the rolling restricting portion 2341 of the center accessory 2300, the intrusion ball discharge port 3117 is provided in the accommodation portion 2340 that can accommodate the lower end portion of the right movable decorative body 3301, so that the stage The game balls that deviate from 2321 and 2322 can be quickly discharged, and the movement of the right movable decorative body 3301 can be prevented from being hindered by the game balls that have entered the housing portion 2340. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted and to prevent the player's interest in the game from being lowered.

  Further, the game balls that have entered the warp inlet 2313 formed on the left outer periphery of the front wall member 2310 in the center accessory 2300 are supplied onto the stages 2321 and 2322 in the frame. In order to enjoy the movement of the rolling game ball, it is necessary to enter the game ball into the warp inlet 2313 of the front wall member 2310. Therefore, the player can perform a driving operation aiming at the warp inlet 2313. By giving a goal to the player, it is possible to prevent the interest from being reduced by concentrating on the game.

  Further, since the right movable decorative body 3301 is provided on the opposite side of the stages 2321 and 2322 with the rolling restricting portion 2341 interposed therebetween, the right movable decorative body 3301 provided on the side of the stages 2321 and 2322 allows the other movable decorative body 3301 to be provided. The pachinko machine 1 can have a higher visual impact than the pachinko machine, and the pachinko machine 1 can increase the appeal of the pachinko machine 1 and attract the player's attention, and roll on the stages 2321 and 2322. Not only the movement of the game ball but also the movement of the right movable decorative body 3301 can be enjoyed by the player, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, the intrusion ball discharge port 3117 is formed in the right decoration body 3102 that closes the rear end of the accommodating portion 2340 that can accommodate the base end side of the right movable ornament 3301. Is open so as to face the player side, so that even if a game ball enters the storage portion 2340 from the stages 2321 and 2322, the player can easily see the intrusion ball discharge port 3117, so that the deviating game It becomes possible to recognize naturally that the ball is discharged from the intrusion ball discharge port 3117, and it is possible to alleviate the player's anxiety about the trouble that may occur when the game ball is stagnated. It is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in games by continuing the game.

  In addition, the right decorative body 3102 that closes the rear end of the housing portion 2340 is provided with an intrusion ball discharge port 3117 so that game balls that deviate from the stages 2321 and 2322 are discharged in a direction away from the player. Therefore, it becomes possible to make the game ball received to the intrusion ball discharge port 3117 invisible from the player side, and when the game ball becomes invisible, the game ball received by the player is discharged without being involved in the game. It can be recognized that the interest is transferred to other game balls and the like, and it is possible to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Furthermore, even if the game ball passes through the rolling restricting portion 2341 at the right end of the stages 2321 and 2322 and enters the storage portion 2340, the right movable decorative body 3301 moves, so that the game ball in the storage portion 2340 is intruded. Since the pressure guide is guided to the discharge port 3117, the game ball that has entered the storage unit 2340 by the movement of the right movable decorative body 3301 can be automatically discharged from the intrusion ball discharge port 3117. It is possible to reliably prevent the game ball from stagnating in the portion 2340 and causing the ball clogging, and the same effects as described above can be achieved. Further, since the game ball in the storage portion 2340 is guided and discharged to the intrusion ball discharge port 3117 by the movement of the right movable decorative body 3301, the game ball that has entered the storage portion 2340 beyond the rolling restriction portion 2341. However, it is possible to reliably prevent the right movable decorative body 3301 from being hindered from moving, and to allow the player to enjoy the movable effect of the right movable decorative body 3301 without any problem and to suppress the interest in the game from being reduced. can do.

  Further, the height of the rolling restricting portion 2341 is about five times as high as the outer dimensions of the game ball from the rolling surfaces of the stages 2321 and 2322, and toward the center of the stages 2321 and 2322 as it goes upward. The game balls supplied (released) onto the stages 2321 and 2322 from the warp outlet 2314 at the left end of the stages 2321 and 2322 are arranged at the right end on the opposite side because they are inclined to fall down. Even if the rolling restricting portion 2341 is vigorously contacted, it is possible to reliably prevent the rolling restricting portion 2341 from being overcome, and it is ensured that the game ball deviates from the stages 2321 and 2322 and is not involved in the game. It is possible to avoid the feelings that the player has lost by deviating and to prevent the interest in the game from falling. Rukoto can.

  Furthermore, when the game balls supplied on the stages 2321 and 2322 in the center accessory 2300 enter the opposite side of the stages 2321 and 2322 beyond the rolling restricting portion 2341 and are received in the intrusion ball discharge port 3117, Stages 2321, 2322 are guided to the rear side of the out port 606 through the intrusion ball discharge passage 621 j formed in the back box 621, merged with the game ball received in the out port 606 and discharged. It is possible to count the game balls that have deviated from the game balls as discharged game balls, and to prevent inconsistencies (problems) between the number of game balls thrown by the player and the number of discharged game balls. It is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted due to the occurrence of a malfunction and thereby reducing the interest of the player.

  In addition, the back box 621 that supports the liquid crystal display device 1400 is formed with an intrusion ball discharge passage 621j that guides the game ball received in the intrusion ball discharge port 3117 to the rear side of the out port 606. Compared to the case where the ball discharge path 621j is configured by a separate member, the number of parts can be reduced, and the cost associated with the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, 3504 for driving the movable decorative bodies 2330b, 3203, 3401, 3501 disposed above the liquid crystal display device 1400 are provided on the gaming panel 600. The rear side is covered by the drive motor housing portion 621k of the back box 621, and the air in the drive motor housing portion 621k is forcibly ventilated by the exhaust fan 3112. Therefore, the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, 3504 The generated heat can be immediately discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1, and heat is generated in the pachinko machine 1 to melt the synthetic resin and solder, and various electronic components for control (for example, CPU, MPU, IC, transistor) , Resistors, capacitors, sensors, relays, etc.) malfunctions It is possible to prevent. Therefore, even if the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, and 3504, which are heat sources, are increased by providing the plurality of movable decorative bodies 2330b, 3203, 3401, and 3501, the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, Since the heat from 3504 can be quickly discharged to prevent the temperature in the pachinko machine 1 from rising, the pachinko machine 1 can be provided with a plurality of movable decorative bodies 2330b, 3203, 3401, 3501 without problems. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 having a higher impact can be obtained, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted and the player's interest can be suppressed from decreasing.

  The exhaust fan 3112 forcibly ventilates the air in the drive motor housing portion 621k of the back box 621 in which the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, and 3504 are housed. Since the flow is generated and the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, and 3504 can be cooled by the air flow, the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, and 3504 are overheated, causing problems in the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, and 3504. Or power consumption due to an increase in electrical resistance can be prevented, and the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, 3504 can be reliably operated to move the movable decorative bodies 2330b, 3203, 3401, 3501. Can be moved and movable Kazaritai 2330b, the movable rendition of 3203,3401,3501, can entertain a player, interest in the game of the player can be suppressed.

  Further, since the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, 3504 of the movable decorative bodies 2330b, 3203, 3401, 3501 serving as heat sources are accommodated in the drive motor accommodating portion 621k, the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, 3504 are accommodated. The main control board 4100 for controlling the game, the peripheral control board 4140 for controlling the movable decorative bodies 2330b, 3203, 3401, 3501, the light emitting decorative body, etc., or a predetermined effect image can be displayed. It can be transmitted to the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the like, and it becomes possible to prevent the control by them from becoming unstable, the pachinko machine 1 can be maintained in an optimum state, and the game by the pachinko machine 1 can be surely enjoyed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  In addition, since the back box 621 attached to the rear side of the game panel 600 is provided with the drive motor accommodating portion 621k, the air in the drive motor accommodating portion 621k is exhausted by the exhaust fan 3112 of the game panel 600 (pachinko machine 1). It is possible to exhaust to the rear side, that is, the island facility in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, and to prevent the exhaust heat in the drive motor housing portion 621k from hitting the player and causing discomfort. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player.

  Further, since the drive motor housing portion 621k is formed and the exhaust fan 3112 is supported on the back box 621 attached to the rear side of the game panel 600 and detachably supporting the liquid crystal display device 1400 on the rear side. There is no need to separately form the drive motor housing portion 621k and attach it to the game panel 600, the configuration such as the number of parts related to the drive motor housing portion 621k can be simplified, and the labor involved in assembly can be simplified. At the same time, it is possible to suppress an increase in cost related to the pachinko machine 1.

  Further, since the drive motor accommodating portion 621k of the back box 621 is formed to have a predetermined length and the ventilation port 621l is provided at one end, the exhaust fan 3112 is driven from the ventilation port 621l provided at the end. Since the air in the motor accommodating portion 621k can be exhausted, the entire air in the driving motor accommodating portion 621k can be flowed, and the driving motors 2333, 3244, 3404, 3504 accommodated in the driving motor accommodating portion 621k. The heat from etc. can be ventilated reliably.

  Further, the drive motors 2333, 3244, 3404, and 3504 disposed above the opening 621c (the liquid crystal display device 1400) of the back box 621 are covered with the drive motor housing 621k, that is, the drive motor housing 621k. Is formed in the vicinity of the upper portion of the back box 621 (game panel 600), so that when the air in the drive motor housing portion 621k is ventilated by the exhaust fan 3112, it rises to the upper portion of the pachinko machine 1. At least part of the heat from the heat source and the heat from the liquid crystal display device 1400 can be exhausted together, it is possible to suppress the heat from entering the pachinko machine 1, and the pachinko machine 1 due to the rise in temperature. Can prevent the game from being interrupted due to a malfunction, and to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable and deteriorating It can be.

  Further, since the ventilation port 621l in the drive motor housing portion 621k of the back box 621 is opened downward, the pachinko machine 1 is compared with the case where the ventilation port 621l is opened upward. On the rear side (in the island facility in the game hall), it is possible to reduce as much as possible the possibility that dust, dust, etc. that have fallen from the upper side will enter the drive motor housing portion 621k through the ventilation port 621l. It is possible to prevent a problem from occurring when dust or the like enters the drive motor housing portion 621k. Further, the ventilation port 621l is opened downward, and the air in the drive motor housing portion 621k is exhausted downward from the ventilation port 621l, so that it is compared with the case where the ventilation port 621l is opened backward. Thus, it is possible to prevent the exhaust heat from being sent to other pachinko machines arranged in the back direction in the island facilities of the game hall, and to prevent the occurrence of problems in other pachinko machines. be able to.

  Further, since the ventilation port 621l is opened downward, the drive motor housing portion 621k in the back box 621 is received by receiving a game ball in a winning port provided on the upper part of a general pachinko machine. Even if it is arranged at a position as close as possible to the prize ball tank 720 for storing the game balls to be paid out, it is possible to prevent the ventilation hole 621l from being closed by the prize ball tank 720 or the like. The air in the drive motor housing 621k can be reliably ventilated through the ventilation port 621l, and the drive motor housing 621k can be disposed above the opening 621c (the liquid crystal display device 1400). Similar effects can be obtained.

  In addition, since the exhaust fan 3112 is a sirocco fan and the intake shaft and the exhaust shaft are substantially orthogonal to each other, by arranging the intake shaft so as to be substantially along the game panel 600, the exhaust shaft is directed downward in the pachinko machine. They can be easily arranged, and the configuration related to the exhaust fan 3112 can be reduced in size and simplified. Also, since the sirocco fan is less likely to change the air flow even when static pressure is applied compared to the propeller fan, even if there is only one ventilation port 621k as in this embodiment, the air in the drive motor housing portion 621k is surely secured. Therefore, it is possible to surely exhibit the above-described effects.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, after the left movable decorative body 3201 moves rightward from the left outer side of the liquid crystal display device 1400 outside the frame of the center accessory 2300 and is positioned on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1400. The left decorative decorative body 3201 can move from the main decorative body 3202 to the secondary decorative body 3203 in the upward direction, and a movable effect can be performed such that the opening window 3204 opens between the main decorative body 3202 and the secondary decorative body 3203. Because it is possible, the player can be shown a movable effect of the left movable ornament 3201 movable in two stages, and the player can be entertained by the movement of the movable ornament that could not be seen with a conventional pachinko machine. In addition, the main decorative body 3202 and the sub decorative body 3203 of the left movable decorative body 3201 can be used to produce a movable performance that is hard to get tired of. That interest can be suppressed.

  Further, since the secondary decorative body 3203 is further slid upward from the main decorative body 3202 of the left movable decorative body 3201 that appears on the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1400 from the left side, the secondary decorative body 3203 slides.

It is possible to suppress the interest of the game from deteriorating by making the production enjoyable.

  Further, the liquid crystal display device 1400 is supported via a box-like back box 621 attached to the rear side of the game panel 600, and the right movable decorative body unit 3300 and the upper left movable decorative body unit are provided in the back box 621. 3400, the upper middle movable decorative body unit 3500, and the like are attached, so that the liquid crystal display device 1400 can be reliably arranged and supported on the rear side of the game panel 600, and the liquid crystal display device is supported by the box-shaped back box 621. A space for arranging the right movable decorative body unit 3300 and the like on the front side of 1400 can be secured, and the pachinko machine 1 including the right movable decorative body unit 3300 and the like described above can be reliably realized. Further, the back box 621 that supports the liquid crystal display device 1400 can accurately maintain the positional relationship between the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the right movable decorative body unit 3300 and the like, and the pachinko machine 1 that exhibits the above-described effects can be reliably provided. The liquid crystal display device 1400, the right movable decorative body unit 3300, and the like can be disposed at predetermined positions with respect to the game panel 600 by simply mounting the back box 621 on the rear side of the game panel 600. It is possible to simplify the labor involved in assembling the pachinko machine 1.

  Further, the right movable decorative body 3301 is constituted by the right decorative body main body 3303 and the right decorative body base 3302 that supports the right decorative body main body 3303 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction. By sliding in the longitudinal direction with respect to the right decorative body base 3302, the entire length of the right movable decorative body 3301 can be expanded and contracted, and the expanding and contracting right movable decorative body 3301 can be realized. While the pachinko machine 1 that can surely exhibit the effects can be obtained, and the rigidity of the right decorative body main body 3303 and the right decorative body base 3302 can be increased, when the right movable decorative body 3301 is expanded and contracted, The bending of the right movable decorative body 3301 and the swinging of the right movable decorative body 3301 are reduced as much as possible to prevent the right movable decorative body 3301 from acting unnaturally. Can be, interest to delight moving rendition of right movable decorative body 3301 to the player can be prevented from lowering.

  In addition, the right decorative body rotating unit 3310 can rotate the right movable decorative body 3301 together with the right decorative body expansion / contraction unit 3340, and the right decorative body expansion / contraction unit 3340 can expand and contract the right movable decorative body 3301. The right movable decorative body unit 3300 described above can be realized with certainty. Further, since the right decorative body expansion / contraction unit 3340 is also rotated together with the right movable decorative body 3301, the configuration relating to the expansion / contraction driving is simplified as compared with the case where the right decorative body expansion / contraction unit 3340 is not rotated. The right movable decorative body 3301 can be relatively enlarged, and the right movable decorative body 3301 can be made conspicuous to make the pachinko machine 1 capable of attracting the player's interest strongly. it can.

  Furthermore, the rotation gear 3318 in the right decoration body rotation unit 3310 has an arc shape, and the rotation fixed to the proximal end side of the right movable decoration body 3301 as compared with the case where the rotation gear 3318 has a disk shape. Since the gear 3318 can be made as small as possible, the rotation gear 3318 can be prevented from being conspicuously large in the right movable decorative body 3301, and the appearance of the right movable decorative body 3301 can be improved to make the player more comfortable. It can be set as the right movable decoration body 3301 with high design which attracts interest.

  Further, since the right decorative body main body 3303 is slid in the longitudinal direction via the slide rack 3344 slidably supported by the base cover 3350 in the right movable decorative body unit 3300, a rack gear or the like is attached to the right decorative body main body 3303. Therefore, it is possible to relax the restriction on the shape of the right decorative body main body 3303, and the right decorative body main body 3303 can be made to have a higher impact shape or the right decorative body main body 3303 can be decorated with the right decoration. An in-body decoration board 3303c can be provided, and the right movable decoration body 3301 that can attract the player's interest more strongly can be obtained.

[5. Control processing]
Next, various control processes executed on the main board 4000 in accordance with the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[About main system processing]
First, a description will be given based on FIG. FIG. 191 is a flowchart showing an example of main system processing executed by the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100 of the main board 4000.

  As shown in FIG. 191, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 1, the main control MPU 4100a (see FIG. 189) executes power-on processing (step S10). In this power-on process, first, it is determined whether or not the backup data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is normal (a set value when a power failure occurs). That is, the RAM (data memory) of the main control MPU 4100a of this embodiment has a backup area in which various control data are backed up by constantly supplying power. When the power supply is stopped, the pachinko machine 1 performs a process of temporarily saving various control data stored in the RAM processing area of the main control MPU 4100a to the backup area, and temporarily restores the power when the power is restored. By reading the saved data into the RAM processing area of the main control MPU 4100a, a game with continuity can be executed from the time of power-off.

  Therefore, in this power-on processing (step S10), if the backup data (data in the backup area) is normal, the power supply is returned to the state when the power supply is stopped according to the backup data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. Perform processing (power recovery processing) On the other hand, if the backup data is abnormal, the backup data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is deleted. After that, various control data necessary for the progress of the game, such as the jackpot winning probability and the control data indicating the current gaming state, are written in the RAM processing area of the main control MPU 4100a with respective initial parameters. (Initialization process). Also, when the power is turned on for the first time after commercialization, various control data necessary for game progress are written with respective initial parameters.

  Note that the current gaming state written in the power-on process is transmitted to the peripheral control board 4140, and the display of the liquid crystal display device 1400 is controlled based on this command. In this way, the current gaming state at the time of a power failure is stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100, and the current gaming state is transmitted to the peripheral control board 4140 after the power is restored. In addition, the internal gaming state can be matched with the gaming state displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 (the gaming state at the time of power failure is not stored in the peripheral control board 4140). By the way, regarding the current gaming state, in order to synchronize the variation of the decorative symbol 1153 and the special symbol corresponding symbol of the liquid crystal display device 1400 with the variation of the special symbol, the variation pattern to be described later is started at the timing when the variation of the special symbol is started. The information of the command is transmitted. Immediately after transmitting the command, a command for the current game information is transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control board 4140 each time. As a result, the peripheral control board 4140 can always grasp the current gaming state.

  However, in this power-on process (step S10), it is also determined whether or not the RAM clear switch 624a that instructs to erase the backup data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is on. That is, even when the RAM clear switch 624a is on, the backup data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is erased. At the same time, various control data necessary for the progress of the game, such as the jackpot winning probability and the control data indicating the current gaming state, are written in the RAM processing area of the main control MPU 4100a with respective initial parameters. (Initialization process). In the state in which such initialization processing has been performed (at the initial time), the control data indicating the jackpot winning probability is the first probability, and the control data indicating the current gaming state is the movable piece. 2005 operates in the first operation mode, and shows an “external normal gaming state A” which is a gaming state in which the probability changing function does not operate. .

  In the power-on process (step S10), a power-on command indicating that the main control board 4100 (see FIG. 189) is activated when such an initialization process is executed is sent to the peripheral control board 4140 (FIG. 189). The process of setting to a state where transmission is possible is also executed. The power-on command notifies the peripheral control board 4140 that the main control board 4100 has been activated. Even when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped (when the power is turned off) when the amusement store is closed, the backup data is stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a, and the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is again performed. When started, power-on processing is executed.

  When the power-on process (step S10) ends, the main control MPU 4100a starts a loop process that repeatedly executes each process for gaming. At the start of this loop process, the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether or not a power failure notice signal is detected (step S20). In this embodiment, the power supply voltage used in the pachinko machine 1 is generated by the power supply board 395. That is, since a plurality of types of devices mounted on the pachinko machine 1 operate with different power supply voltages, the power supply voltage supplied from the external power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is converted into a predetermined power supply voltage on the power supply board, Power is supplied to the device. When a power failure occurs and the power supply voltage supplied from the external power supply to the power supply board becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined power supply voltage, a power failure notice signal indicating that the supply of the power supply voltage from the power supply board to the main control board 4100 is stopped is transmitted. Is done. Then, when the power failure notice signal is detected by the CPU 511 mounted on the main control board 4100 in step S20, a process at the time of power failure occurrence is executed (step S40).

  The process at the time of the power interruption occurs when the power supply voltage (24V in this embodiment) supplied to the power supply board after a power failure is restored (hereinafter referred to as “recovery”). This is a process for temporarily saving data in the backup area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a in order to start. Although the processing content will be described later, in the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the power interruption occurrence processing is not an interruption processing, but as a branch processing that is executed immediately after the start of the loop depending on whether or not a power failure warning signal is detected. Built in the main system process (main control process).

  If the power failure warning signal is not detected in step S20 (NO in step S20), that is, if the power from the external power supply is normally supplied, the non-winning random number update for updating the random number used in the game Processing is performed (step S30). Note that the random numbers updated in the non-winning random number update process will be described later.

[Power failure occurrence processing]
FIG. 192 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing upon occurrence of power interruption. As described above, the power interruption occurrence process (step S40) is a process executed when a power failure warning signal is detected in the main system process (YES in step S20). First, the main control MPU 4100a performs an interrupt prohibition setting so that the interrupt process is not executed (step S42). Then, a checksum in the RAM processing area of the main control MPU 4100a is calculated, and the calculation results and various game data are stored in the RAM backup area of the main control MPU 4100a (step S44). This checksum is used to check whether or not the content of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a before the power failure is properly maintained at the time of power recovery.

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a sets a specified value indicating that the process at the time of power-off occurrence has been performed in a backup flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a (step S46). When the above processing is completed, the main control MPU 4100a prohibits the main control MPU 4100a from accessing the RAM (step S48) and enters an infinite loop to prepare for the stop of power supply. By the way, in this process, if the power supply voltage becomes unstable due to an extremely short power failure or the like (hereinafter referred to as “instantaneous power interruption”) and the process at the time of power interruption occurs, the power supply voltage is not actually stopped. Therefore, there is a possibility that it is impossible to return from the infinite loop. In order to avoid such an adverse effect, the main control MPU 4100a of the present embodiment is provided with a watchdog timer, and is configured to be reset if the watchdog timer is not updated for a predetermined time. The watchdog timer is periodically updated while the process is normally performed, but is not updated when the process when the power is cut off is entered. As a result, the power interruption occurrence process is entered due to a momentary power interruption, and even after entering the infinite loop of FIG.

  Note that a rewritable nonvolatile memory (such as an EEPROM) may be provided instead of the RAM backup area of the main control MPU 4100a. In this case, there is a merit that a constant power supply is not required to back up data.

  Alternatively, the entire RAM area of the main control MPU 4100a may be a backup area in which data is backed up by always supplying power. In this case, it is not necessary to save the data stored in the specific area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a to another area when the power is shut off. In addition, since it is not necessary to read the saved data to the processing area when the power is restored, the load required for these processes is reduced.

[About timer interrupt processing]
FIG. 193 is a flowchart illustrating an example of timer interrupt processing. In the present embodiment, a timer interrupt process is executed every 4 ms by the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100 of the main board 4000 during execution of the main system process. In the timer interrupt process, the main control MPU 4100a executes the process from step S60 to step S270 after executing the register standby process (step S50).

  In the sensor monitoring process of step S60, a process of monitoring detection signals of the various sensors described above (gate sensor 2202, first start port sensor 3115, second start port sensor 2012, count sensor 2014, etc.) is executed.

  In the winning random number update process of step S70, a process of updating a random number used in the game is executed. In this embodiment, the random number updated in the winning random number update process is different from the random number updated in the non-winning random number update process. Although the random number will be described later, the random number updated in the winning random number updating process may be updated in the non-winning random number updating process.

  In the payout control process in step S80, a payout command for instructing payout of the game ball is transmitted to the payout control board 1186 based on the signal detected in the sensor monitoring process (step S60).

  In the normal symbol / ordinary electric accessory control process in step S90, the control process related to the normal symbol display 645 is executed based on the signal detected from the gate sensor 2202 in the sensor monitoring process (step S60). The process for performing the opening / closing control of the movable piece 2005 is executed.

  In the special symbol / special electric accessory control process of step S100, a series of processing from the start of the change of the special symbol to the start of the winning game is executed, and the opening / closing control of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 as the special electric accessory is performed. Execute the process to do.

  In the output data setting process of step S260, a process of generating a command to be transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control board 4140 is executed based on information determined in the special symbol / special electric accessory control process (step S100). .

  In the command transmission process of step S270, a process of transmitting the command set in the output data setting process (step S260) to the peripheral control board 4140 is performed. When the processing from step S60 to step S270 is executed, the register return processing (step S280) is executed, and the timer interrupt processing is terminated.

  Here, various random numbers that are updated by the main control MPU 4100a in the above-described non-winning random number update processing (step S30) and winning random number update processing (step S70) will be described.

  In this embodiment, as various random numbers used in the game, in addition to the above-described special random numbers (first special random number and second special random number), ordinary random numbers, design random numbers, reach determination random numbers (more strictly, high Random number for expected effect determination), random number for first variation pattern, random number for second variation pattern, variation type random number, and the like.

The special random number is a random number used for determining whether or not to generate a jackpot game or an attacker unit operation process. That is, the first special random number is used to determine whether the first special lottery result is “big hit”, “small hit”, or “losing”, and the second special random number is “ It is used to determine whether it is “big hit”, “small hit”, or “losing”. The symbol random number is a random number used for determining the type of jackpot (big hit A to jackpot E) when it is determined that the jackpot is big hit. The determination of whether the first and second special lottery results are “big hit”, “small hit”, “losing” and the type of jackpot type are “big hit”, “small hit”, and each big win The determination is made based on a hit determination table in which the winning value of the type is described. An example of the hit determination table is shown in Table 1. In the present embodiment, the first and second special random numbers take any value from 0 to 1398, and the design random number takes any value from 0 to 199.

  The ordinary random number is a random number used for determining whether or not to control the pair of movable pieces 2005 to the open state. The ordinary random number takes a value of 0 to 250 in this embodiment, and the winning value of the ordinary random number is set to 246 to 250 in the case of the external normal gaming state, and 1 to 250 in the case of the external advantageous gaming state. Is set. The random number for reach determination determines whether or not to perform high-expected effects such as reach effects when the special lottery result is “losing” (not “big win” or “small win”) (high-expected effect lottery) ) Is a random number used. The reach determination random number takes a value of 0 to 138 in this embodiment, and the winning value of the reach determination random number is set to 0 to 7. The random number for the first variation pattern and the random number for the second variation pattern are the variation patterns of the special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 corresponding to the first and second lottery results. This is a random number used for determining the change pattern of the effect image and the decorative design displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 corresponding to the determination and the first and second lottery results. In the present embodiment, the first variation pattern random number takes a value of 0 to 240, and the second variation pattern random number takes a value of 0 to 250. Therefore, the number of combinations of the first variation pattern and the second variation pattern random number is 241 × 251 = 60491. The variation type random number is a random number fallen in order to determine the type of variation pattern (in this embodiment, there are usually four types of variation types of 2, 3, 4, and 4 as described later). . In the present embodiment, the variation type random number takes a value of 0 to 232 (total number 233).

  It should be noted that the effect image and the decorative pattern variation pattern controlled by the liquid crystal display device 1400 may be determined by the first and second variation pattern random numbers, and the peripheral mounted on the peripheral control substrate 4140 of the peripheral substrate 4010. It may be determined by the control MPU 4140a or the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a mounted on the liquid crystal control board 4150 (see FIG. 189). The variation pattern random number is not essential, and the variation pattern of the special symbol may be determined using the reach determination random number.

  Among these random numbers, the winning random number update process updates special random numbers, design random numbers, and ordinary random numbers. Here, the special random number, the design random number, and the ordinary random number are updated every 4 ms as a fixed timing. In this way, the probability (probability determined to generate “big hit” or “small hit”, probability to determine that the pair of movable pieces 2005 are controlled to be opened) in a predetermined period in each random number is set. It can be made constant (that is, it is possible to prevent the probability from being biased by aiming or the like), and the player can be prevented from being disadvantaged.

  On the other hand, in the non-winning random number update process, the reach determination random number and the fluctuation pattern random number irrespective of the occurrence of “big hit” or “small win” and the display result of the normal symbol are updated. The random numbers updated on the main control board 4100 are not limited to those described above. In the non-winning random number update process, the initial value of the special random number that starts counting next when the counter that updates the special random number makes one round. The initial value determination random number and the like are also updated.

  In the present embodiment, as means for acquiring a special random number, two first special random number acquisition means 4212 for generating a first special random number and second special random number acquisition means 4222 for generating a second special random number are provided. Although means are provided, a configuration in which only one of them is provided may be employed.

[Regarding special symbol / special electric accessory control processing]
Next, the special symbol / special electric accessory control process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 194 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the special symbol / special electric accessory control process.

  In this special symbol / special electric accessory control process, first, the first and second start opening winning process (step S110) is performed. Although specifically described later, it is determined whether or not a game ball is received in the first start port 2001 and the second start port 2002, and a series of processing is performed based on this. Once the first / second start opening winning process (step S110) is performed, the process flag is checked (steps S120 to S230), and the process corresponding to the process flag is performed.

  When the first and second start opening winning processes (step S110) are finished, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is 0 (step S120), and if the processing flag is 0 (YES in step S120), the fluctuation occurs. A start process (step S130) is executed. In the variation start process (step S130), settings for starting the variation display of the special symbol are performed. As will be described in detail later, it is determined whether or not “big hit” or “small win” has been won, and the processing flag is updated to “1”. On the other hand, if the processing flag is not 0 in step S120 (NO in step S120), the process proceeds to step S140.

  In step S140, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is 1 (step S140). If the process flag is 1 (YES in step S140), the variation pattern setting process (step S150) is executed. In this variation pattern setting process, a special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 641 or the second special symbol display 642, a decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400, and an effect variation pattern are determined, and the variation The time of change set in accordance with the pattern (the time from the start of the change display of the special symbol in either the first special symbol display 641 or the second special symbol display 642 to the stop display) is used as a timer. Set and update the processing flag to “2”. On the other hand, if the processing flag is not 1 in step S140 (NO in step S140), the process proceeds to step S170.

  In step S170, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is 2 (step S170). If the process flag is 2 (YES in step S170), the process during change (step S180) is executed. In this changing process, the changing time set in the changing pattern setting process (step S150) is monitored by a timer, and the special symbol in the first special symbol display 641 or the second special symbol display 642 is determined based on the time-out. The fluctuation display of is stopped. At this time, if it is determined to be “big hit” in the variation start process (step S130), the process selection flag is updated to “3”, and if it is determined to be “small hit”, the process is selected. The flag is updated to “4”, and if neither the big hit or the small hit is determined (losing), the processing selection flag is updated to “0”. On the other hand, if the processing flag is not 2 in step S170 (NO in step S170), the process proceeds to step S190.

  In step S190, it is determined whether the processing flag is 3 (step S190). If the process flag is 3 (YES in step S190), a big hit game start process (step S200) is executed. In this jackpot game start processing, the jackpot type (big hit A to jackpot E) is determined, and the number of rounds, the opening time and the game ball of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 are controlled according to the jackpot type. Set the winning limit number and update the processing flag to “5”. On the other hand, if the processing flag is not 3 in step S190 (NO in step S190), the process proceeds to step S210.

  In step S210, it is determined whether the processing flag is 4 (step S210). If the processing flag is 4 (YES in step S210), the small hitting establishment process (step S220) is executed. In the small hitting establishment process, the number of times of opening and the opening time for controlling the opening operation of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 are set, and the processing flag is updated to “6”. On the other hand, if the processing flag is not 4 (NO in step S210), the process proceeds to step S230.

  In step S230, it is determined whether the processing flag is 5 (step S230). If the process flag is 5 (YES in step S230), a special electric utility big hit control process (step S240) is executed. In this special electric utility jackpot control process, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is controlled based on the number of rounds set in the jackpot game start process (step S200), the opening time, and the number of game balls to be awarded, When the big hit game ends, it is determined whether or not to operate the probability variation function and whether or not the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 is set to the promotion mode, and the processing flag is updated to “0”.

  On the other hand, if the process flag is not 5 in step S230 (NO in step S230), the attacker unit operation process (step S250) is executed. In this attacker unit operation process (step S250), the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is controlled based on the number of times of opening, the opening time and the limit number set in the small hitting establishment process (step S220) (small). When the attack unit operation process is completed, the process flag is updated to “0”. Note that the small hit game performed in the attack unit operation process is not a game with the operation of the condition device like the big hit game, but as described above, it is a game that is very similar to the short open big hit game that is a kind of the big hit game. is there.

  When any of the various processes from step S130 to step S250 is executed, the special symbol / special electric accessory control process is terminated.

[About the 1st and 2nd starting entrance prize process]
Next, the first / second start opening winning process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 195 is a flowchart showing an example of the first and second start-up prize winning processes.

  In the first / second start opening winning process, the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether or not a game ball has won the second start opening 2002 (step S1101). Specifically, the presence or absence of game ball detection by the second start port sensor 2012 is confirmed. At this time, if a game ball is detected by the second start port sensor 2012, it is determined that a game ball has won the second start port 2002 (YES in step S1101). If no game ball is detected by the second start port sensor 2012, it is determined that no game ball has won a prize at the second start port 2002 (NO in step S1101).

  When it is determined in step S1101 that a game ball has won the second start opening 2002, second special symbol lottery unit data is acquired. Then, it is determined whether or not the number of reservations in the second special symbol storage unit 4224 is less than the upper limit of 4 (step S1102).

  If it is determined in step S1101 that the number of holdings in the second special symbol holding storage unit 4224 is less than the upper limit of 4 (YES in step S1102), the main control MPU 4100a performs a second holding storage process (step S1103). The process proceeds to step S1104. In the second reserved memory process, a process of storing the second special symbol lottery unit data acquired by winning the game ball in the second starting port 2002 in the second special symbol reserved memory unit 4224 is mainly performed.

  When the main control MPU 4100a determines in step S1101 that a game ball has not won the second starting port 2002 (NO in step S1101), and in step S1102, the number of holds in the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 is the upper limit. When it is determined that the value 4 has been reached (NO in step S1102), the process proceeds to step S1104.

  In step S1104, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not a game ball has won the first start port 2001 (step S1104). Specifically, the presence or absence of detection of the game ball by the first start port sensor 3115 is confirmed. At this time, if a game ball is detected by the first start port sensor 3115, it is determined that the game ball has won the first start port 2001 (YES in step S1104). If no game ball is detected by the first start port sensor 3115, it is determined that no game ball is won at the first start port 2001 (NO in step S1104).

  When it is determined in step S1104 that a game ball has won the first starting port 2001, first special symbol lottery unit data is acquired, and the number of holds in the first special symbol hold storage means 4214 is less than the upper limit of 4. Whether or not (step S1105).

  If it is determined in step S1104 that the number of holds in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 is less than the upper limit of 4 (YES in step S1105), the main control MPU 4100a performs a first hold storage process (step S1106).・ End the second starting entrance prize process. In the first hold storage process, a process of storing the first special symbol lottery unit data acquired by winning the game ball in the first start port 2001 in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 is mainly performed. Note that the first special symbol lottery unit data acquired by winning the game ball at the first start port 2001 is the same as the second special symbol lottery unit data acquired by winning the game ball at the second start port 2002. Is stored in the first special symbol hold storage means 4214.

  When the main control MPU 4100a determines in step S1104 that a game ball has not won the first starting port 2001 (NO in step S1104), and in step S1105, the number of holds in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 is the upper limit. When it is determined that the value of 4 has been reached (NO in step S1105), the first and second start opening winning processes are both terminated.

  In step S1102, the second special symbol lottery unit data acquired in step S1101 is obtained when the number of holds in the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 is the upper limit value when a game ball wins the second start port 2002. Discard. Similarly, in step S1105, the first special symbol lottery unit data acquired in step S1104 when the number of holds in the first special symbol hold storage means 4214 is the upper limit when a game ball wins the first starting port 2001. Is discarded.

  When it is determined that a game ball has won the second start opening 2002, the acquisition of the second special symbol lottery unit data is not necessarily performed in step S1101, but may be performed between steps S1101 to S1103. For example, the second special symbol lottery unit data is not acquired in step S1101 and the second special symbol lottery unit data is determined in step S1102 after determining that the number of holds in the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 is less than the upper limit value. May be acquired, or may be acquired in the second reserved storage process in step S1103.

  Similarly, when it is determined that a game ball has won the first start port 2001, the acquisition of the first special symbol lottery unit data is not necessarily performed in step S1104, and may be performed between step S1104 and step S1106. . For example, without acquiring the first special symbol lottery unit data in step S1104, it is determined in step S1102 that the number of holds in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 is less than the upper limit value, and then the first special symbol lottery unit data. May be acquired, or may be acquired in the first reserved storage process in step S1106.

  Thus, in this embodiment, after performing the winning process (steps S1101 to S1103) to the second starting port 2002, the winning process (steps S1104 to 1106) to the first starting port 2001 is performed. Yes. However, instead of this, after the winning process for the first starting port 2001 is executed, the winning process for the second starting port 2002 may be executed.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the winning probability for the big hit is the same regardless of whether the lottery based on the first special random number or the lottery based on the second special random number is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lottery win probability of the lottery based on the first special random number may be different from the jackpot winning probability of the lottery based on the first special random number.

  In the present embodiment, the selection rate of each jackpot type is different between the case where the jackpot is won in the lottery based on the first special random number and the case where the jackpot is won in the lottery based on the second special random number. For example, when the jackpot is won in the lottery based on the first special random number, the selection ratio of each jackpot type selected based on the design random number is 32% for the jackpot A, 32% for the jackpot B, “Big jackpot C” is 5%, “Big jackpot D” is 30%, and “Big jackpot E” is 1%. In addition, for example, when the jackpot is won in the lottery based on the second special random number, the selection ratio of each jackpot type selected based on the design random number is 60% for “jackpot A” and 32 for “jackpot B”. %, “Big hit C” is 1%, “Big hit D” is 4%, and “Big hit E” is 3%. Not limited to this, there is no difference in the selection rate of each jackpot type when winning a jackpot with a lottery based on the first special random number and when winning a jackpot with a lottery based on the second special random number Also good.

[About variation start processing]
Next, the fluctuation start process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 196 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the change start process.

  In the fluctuation start process (step S130) executed when the process selection flag is “0”, the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 is zero. (Step S1301).

  If the number of reservations in the second special symbol storage unit 4224 is not 0 (NO in step S1301), the main control MPU 4100a acquires the second special symbol lottery unit data to be processed from the second special symbol storage unit 4224. (Step S1302). As described above, the second special symbol lottery unit data is stored in the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 so that the storage order can be specified up to four, and is processed in the stored order.

  On the other hand, when the number of holds in the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 is 0 (YES in step S1301), the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 is 0. Is determined (step S1303).

  If the number of reservations in the first special symbol storage unit 4214 is not 0 (NO in step S1303), the main control MPU 4100a acquires the first special symbol lottery unit data to be processed from the first special symbol storage unit 4214. (Step S1304). As described above, the first special symbol lottery unit data is stored in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 so that the storage order can be specified up to four, and is processed in the stored order.

  On the other hand, when the number of reservations in first special symbol storage unit 4214 is 0 (YES in step S1301), main control MPU 4100a ends the variation start process.

  When the main control MPU 4100a acquires the second special symbol lottery unit data or the first special symbol lottery unit data, the main control MPU 4100a is in a gaming state (external normal gaming state B or external advantageous gaming state B) in which the probability changing function is activated. Whether or not (step S1305). Here, if it is a gaming state in which the probability changing function is operating (YES in step S1305), the hit determination table at the time of high probability is selected from the hit determination table (step S1306).

  On the other hand, if the probability changing function is not activated in step S1305 (NO in step S1305), the normal hit determination table is selected from the hit determination tables (step S1307).

  A special random number (first special random number) included in the determination table selected in step S1306 or step S1307 and the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed (first special symbol lottery unit data or second special symbol lottery unit data). Or the second special random number), the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not it is a big hit (step S1308).

  If the main control MPU 4100a determines that the special random number included in the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed is a big hit (YES in step S1308), the main control MPU 4100a wins a big hit based on the symbol random number included in the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed The type is determined (step S1309). Thereafter, the flag corresponding to the type of jackpot is turned on (step S1310). Specifically, the main control MPU 4100a sets the jackpot A flag to ON if the jackpot type is jackpot A, sets the jackpot B flag to ON if the jackpot type is jackpot B, and the jackpot type is jackpot C If it is, the jackpot C flag is turned on. If the jackpot type is jackpot D, the jackpot D flag is turned on. If the jackpot type is jackpot E, the jackpot E flag is turned on. Thereafter, the main control MPU 4100a updates the processing flag to “1” (step S1313), and ends the variation start processing.

  On the other hand, if the main control MPU 4100a determines that the big hit determination in step S1308 is not a big hit (NO in step S1308), the determination table shown in Table 1 and the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed (first special symbol lottery unit data) Alternatively, based on the special random number (the first special random number or the second special random number) included in the second special symbol lottery unit data), it is determined whether or not it is a small hit (step S1311). If the main control MPU 4100a determines that the special random number included in the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed is a small hit (YES in step S1311), the main control MPU 4100a sets the small hit flag to ON (step S1312), and proceeds to step S1313. Then, the process flag is updated to “1”, and the variation start process is terminated. If the main control MPU 4100a determines that the special random number included in the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed is not a small hit (NO in step S1311), the main control MPU 4100a proceeds to step S1313, updates the processing flag to “1”, and changes End the start process.

[About variation pattern setting processing]
Next, the variation pattern setting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 197 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the variation pattern setting process.

  The variation pattern setting process is a process of setting a variation pattern according to a special symbol lottery result (big hit, small hit, loss). In this process, first, it is determined whether or not any big hit flag of a plurality of types of big wins is ON, or whether or not the small hit flag is ON (step S1510). If the big hit flag or the small hit flag is ON (YES in step S1510), a hit fluctuation pattern table setting process is performed (step S1520), and then a fluctuation pattern determination process is performed (step S1560). Although details will be described later in this variation pattern setting process, the variation pattern is determined based on the table set in the hit variation pattern table setting process.

  If neither the big hit flag nor the small hit flag is ON in step S1510 (NO in step S1510), it is determined whether or not a high expectation effect (for example, a reach effect) with a high degree of expectation for winning the big win should be performed. (Step S1530). Here, if it is determined that a high expectation effect with a high expectation of winning the jackpot is to be performed (YES in step S1530), a high disappointment variation pattern table setting process is performed (step S1540), and then the variation Pattern determination processing is performed (step S1560). Although the details will be described later in this variation pattern setting process, the variation pattern is determined based on the variation pattern table set in the highly disappointing variation pattern table setting processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1530 that a high expectation effect with a high degree of expectation of winning a big hit should not be performed (NO in step S1530), a low-expectation variation pattern table setting process is performed (step S1550), and then A variation pattern determination process is performed (step S1560). Although the details will be described later in this variation pattern setting process, a variation pattern is determined based on the variation pattern table set in the variation pattern table setting process per low expectation loss and a variation type is determined for the determined variation pattern. Is done.

  Whether or not the high expectation effect should be performed is determined to be a high expectation effect if the reach determination random number described above is won in the high expectation effect lottery, and it has been lost in the high expectation effect lottery. Therefore, it is determined that the high expectation production is not performed. The high expectation effect lottery is performed using the reach determination random number included in the acquired special symbol lottery unit data to be processed when the symbol change is started when the special lottery result is lost. Here, the probability of winning the high expectation effect lottery may be different depending on whether the game is in the external normal game state or the external advantageous game state. Furthermore, the probability of winning the high expectation effect lottery may be different depending on the number of first special symbol hold and the number of second special symbol hold. For example, in the case of an external normal gaming state and the change is a change in the first special symbol, if the first special symbol hold number is 0, 10.5, the first special symbol hold number is If it is 1, it may be 1/12, if the first special symbol reservation number is 2, it may be 13.5, and if the first special symbol reservation number is 3, it may be 1/15. In the case of an external normal gaming state) and the change is a change in the second special symbol, the probability of winning the high expectation effect lottery is 10.5 if the number of second special symbol hold is zero. 1/2, if the second special symbol hold number is 1, 1/12, if the second special symbol hold number is 2, 13.5, if the second special symbol hold number is 3, then 15 It may be a fraction. In the case of an external advantageous game state, the probability of winning the high-expected effect lottery may always be 1/14 regardless of the number of first special symbol hold and the number of second special symbol hold.

  Next, when the variation pattern is determined in step S1560, a value representing a combination of the determined variation pattern and variation type is set as a selection value (step S1570), and the combination of the variation pattern and variation type is supported. The variable time value to be set is set in the timer (step S1580). For example, the fluctuation time value is set in advance for each combination of the fluctuation pattern and the fluctuation type. Thereafter, the processing flag is updated to “2” (step S1590), and the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

  A plurality of LEDs are lit in a predetermined lighting pattern on the first special symbol display 641 or the second special symbol display 642 based on the variation pattern set in the variation pattern setting process.

[About hit variation pattern table setting processing]
Next, the hit variation pattern table setting process will be described based on FIGS. 198 and 199. FIG. 198 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the hit variation pattern table setting process. FIG. 199 is a table showing the distribution of tables to be set in the hit variation pattern table setting process.

  In the hit variation pattern table setting process of FIG. 198, the main control MPU 4100a first recognizes the gaming state (step S15201). As described above, there are four types of game states: the external normal game state A, the external normal game state B, the external advantageous game state A, and the external advantageous game state B. For example, the gaming state is managed by a flag in the main control MPU 4100a, and is any one of the external normal gaming state A flag, the external normal gaming state B flag, the external advantageous gaming state A flag, and the external advantageous gaming state B flag. One flag is turned on. The main control MPU 4100a recognizes the gaming state by recognizing the flag in the on state. Next, the main control MPU 4100a recognizes the hit type (step S15202). The hit type is managed by a flag in the main control MPU 4100a as described above. For example, the main control MPU 4100a recognizes which of the jackpot A flag, jackpot B flag, jackpot C flag, jackpot D flag, jackpot E flag, and jackpot flag is turned on, so that the jackpot A˜ Recognize whether E or small hit. Next, the main control MPU 4100a selects a winning variation pattern setting table based on the gaming state, the winning type, and the first changing pattern random number included in the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed (step S15203). The variation pattern table setting process is terminated.

  In the present embodiment, there are 13 types of hit variation pattern tables A to M as shown in FIG. One of the winning variation pattern tables A to M is associated with the combination of the gaming state, the winning type, and the first changing pattern random number. For example, as shown in FIG. 199, when the game state is the external normal game state A or the external normal game state B and the hit type is a jackpot A, the total number 241 (0 to 240) for the first variation pattern Among random numbers, 126 values are associated with the hit variation pattern table A, 75 values are associated with the hit variation pattern table B, and 40 values correspond to the hit variation pattern table C. It is attached. Therefore, when the gaming state is the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B and the hit type is the big hit A, the hit fluctuation pattern table setting process has a probability of 126/241 per hit fluctuation pattern table. A is selected, hit variation pattern table B is selected with a probability of 75/241, and hit variation pattern table C is selected with a probability of 40/241. When the game state is the external normal game state A or the external normal game state B and the hit type is jackpot A, tables other than the win fluctuation pattern tables A to C are selected in the win fluctuation pattern table setting process. Never happen.

  As shown in FIG. 199, when the game state is the external normal game state A or the external normal game state B and the hit type is the jackpot B, the total number 241 (0 to 240) of random numbers for the first variation pattern Of these, 166 values are associated with the hit variation pattern table A, and 75 values are associated with the hit variation pattern table B. Therefore, when the gaming state is the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B and the hit type is the big hit B, the hit fluctuation pattern table A is set at a probability of 166/241 in the hit fluctuation pattern table setting process. The hit variation pattern table B is selected with a probability of 75/241. When the gaming state is the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B and the hit type is a big hit B, a table other than the hit fluctuation pattern tables A and B is selected in the hit fluctuation pattern table setting process. Never happen.

  As shown in FIG. 199, when the game state is the external normal game state A, the external normal game state B, or the external advantageous game state A, and the win type is jackpot C, a total of 241 (0-240) All of the random numbers for one variation pattern are associated with the hit variation pattern table E. Therefore, when the game state is the external normal game state A, the external normal game state B, or the external advantageous game state A and the hit type is jackpot C, the hit variation pattern table setting process has a probability of 100%. The hit variation pattern table E is selected. That is, when the game state is the external normal game state A, the external normal game state B, or the external advantageous game state A and the hit type is jackpot C, the win fluctuation pattern table setting process performs the win fluctuation pattern table E No other table is selected.

Accordingly, when the gaming state is the external normal gaming state B and the hit type is small hit, the hit fluctuation pattern table K is selected with a probability of 100% in the hit fluctuation pattern table setting process. When the gaming state is the external advantageous gaming state B and the hit type is small hit, no table other than the hit fluctuation pattern table K is selected in the hit fluctuation pattern table setting process.

[Highly disappointing variation pattern table setting process]
Next, the high expectation disapproval variation pattern table setting process will be described with reference to FIGS. 200 and 201. FIG. FIG. 200 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the highly disappointing variation pattern table setting process. FIG. 201 is a table showing the distribution of tables to be set in the high-expected disappointment variation pattern table setting process.

  In the highly expected disappointment variation pattern table setting process of FIG. 200, the main control MPU 4100a first recognizes the gaming state (step S15401). For example, the gaming state is managed by a flag in the main control MPU 4100a, and is any one of the external normal gaming state A flag, the external normal gaming state B flag, the external advantageous gaming state A flag, and the external advantageous gaming state B flag. One flag is turned on. The main control MPU 4100a recognizes the gaming state by recognizing the flag in the on state. Next, the main control MPU 4100a selects a highly disappointing variation pattern setting table based on the gaming state and the first variation pattern random number included in the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed (step S15402), and disappoints. The variation pattern table setting process is terminated.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 201, there are six types of high-expected variation pattern tables, N to S. One of the high-expectation variation pattern tables N to S is associated with the combination of the gaming state and the random number for the first variation pattern. For example, as shown in FIG. 201, when the gaming state is the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B, 224 values out of a total of 241 (0 to 240) random numbers for the first variation pattern are present. The 13 values are associated with the high-expected variation pattern table O, and the 4 values are associated with the highly-expected variation pattern table P. Yes. Therefore, when the gaming state is the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B, the high expectation disapproval variation pattern table N is selected with a probability of 224/241 in the high expectation disapproval variation pattern table setting process, The high-expectation variation pattern table O is selected with a probability of 13/241, and the high-expectation variation pattern table P is selected with a probability of 4/241. In the case of the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B, tables other than the high expectation loss variation pattern tables N to P are not selected in the high expectation loss variation pattern table setting process.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 201, when the gaming state is the external advantageous gaming state B, all values of the first variation pattern random numbers in total 241 (0 to 240) correspond to the highly disappointing variation pattern table Q. It is attached. Accordingly, when the gaming state is the external gaming gaming state B, the high expectation loss variation pattern table Q is selected with a probability of 100% in the high expectation loss variation pattern table setting process, and the high expectation loss variation pattern table is selected. It will never be done. As shown in FIG. 201, when the gaming state is the external advantageous gaming state A, 233 values out of the total number 241 (0 to 240) of random numbers for the first variation pattern are the highly disappointing variation pattern table. R is associated with R, and eight values are associated with the highly disappointing variation pattern table S. Therefore, when the gaming state is the external advantageous gaming state A, the high expectation loss variation pattern table R is selected with a probability of 233/241 in the high expectation loss variation pattern table setting process, and the probability of 8/241 The highly disappointing variation pattern table S is selected. In the case of the external advantageous gaming state B, tables other than the high expected loss variation pattern tables R and S are not selected in the high expected failure variation pattern table setting process.

[About low-expected variation pattern table setting processing]
Next, the low expectation variation pattern table setting process will be described with reference to FIGS. 202 and 203. FIG. FIG. 202 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the low-expected variation pattern table setting process. FIG. 203 is a table showing distribution of tables to be set in the low-expected variation pattern table setting process.

  202, the main control MPU 4100a first recognizes the gaming state (step S15501). For example, the gaming state is managed by a flag in the main control MPU 4100a, and is any one of the external normal gaming state A flag, the external normal gaming state B flag, the external advantageous gaming state A flag, and the external advantageous gaming state B flag. One flag is turned on. The main control MPU 4100a recognizes the gaming state by recognizing the flag in the on state. Next, the main control MPU 4100a sets the unprocessed special symbol lottery unit data excluding the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed in the special symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) to which the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed belongs. The number, that is, the remaining number of holdings is recognized (step S15502). For example, when the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed is acquired, if the number of reserved special symbols is 4, the remaining number of reserved is 3. Further, if the number of reserved special symbols is 3 when the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed is acquired, the remaining number of reserved is 2. The main control MPU 4100a decreases the number based on the gaming state, the remaining number of reserved special symbols to which the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed belongs, and the first variation pattern random number included in the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed. An expected disappointment variation pattern setting table is selected (step S15503), and the high expectation disapproval variation pattern table setting processing is terminated.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 203, there are ten types of low expectation / disappointment variation pattern tables: TZ, AA, BB, and CC. The combination of the special symbol type (first special symbol or second special symbol) to be processed, the gaming state, the number of remaining reserved symbols for the special symbol to be processed, and the random number for the first variation pattern, Any of the tables TZ, AA, BB, and CC is associated. For example, as shown in FIG. 203, when the special symbol to be processed is the first special symbol and the gaming state is the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B, the remaining of the first special symbol is reserved. According to the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3, all 241 (0 to 240) random numbers for the first variation pattern are associated with the low-expected variation pattern tables T, U, V, and W, respectively. Therefore, when the special symbol to be processed is the first special symbol and the gaming state is the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B, the remaining number of reserved 0, 1, 2, 3, in the low-expected fluctuation pattern table setting process, the low-expected fluctuation pattern tables T, U, V, and W are selected with a probability of 100%, and other low-expected fluctuation pattern tables are selected. Never happen.

  As shown in FIG. 203, when the special symbol to be processed is the first special symbol and the gaming state is the external advantageous gaming state A or the external advantageous gaming state B, the remaining of the first special symbol is reserved. Regardless of the number, all the random numbers for the first variation pattern 241 (0 to 240) in total are associated with the low-expected variation pattern table Z. Therefore, when the special symbol to be processed is the first special symbol and the gaming state is the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B, 100% The low-expected variation pattern table Z is selected with probability, and no other low-expected variation pattern table is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 203, when the special symbol to be processed is the second special symbol, and the gaming state is the external normal gaming state B, the remaining number of remaining 0, 1, 2, 3 of the second special symbol Accordingly, the total number 241 (0 to 240) of the random numbers for the first variation pattern are all associated with the low-expected variation pattern tables X, Y, Y, and Y, respectively. Therefore, when the special symbol to be processed is the second special symbol and the gaming state is the external normal gaming state B, depending on the remaining number of reservations 0, 1, 2, 3 of the second special symbol, In the low-expected variation pattern table setting process, one of the low-expected variation pattern tables T and Y is selected with a probability of 100%, and no other low-expected variation pattern table is selected.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 203, when the special symbol to be processed is the second special symbol and the gaming state is the external advantageous gaming state A, the total number is not concerned regardless of the number of remaining reserved of the first special symbol. All of the random numbers for first variation patterns 241 (0 to 240) are associated with the low-expected variation pattern table Z. Therefore, when the special symbol to be processed is the first special symbol and the gaming state is the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B, 100% The low-expected variation pattern table Z is selected with probability, and no other low-expected variation pattern table is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 203, when the special symbol to be processed is the second special symbol, and the gaming state is the external advantageous gaming state A or the external advantageous gaming state B, the number of remaining reserved numbers of the second special symbol is 0. , 1, 2 and 3, all 241 (0 to 240) random numbers for the first variation pattern are associated with the low-expected variation pattern tables AA, BB, CC, and CC, respectively. Therefore, when the special symbol to be processed is the second special symbol and the gaming state is the external advantageous gaming state A or the external advantageous gaming state B, the remaining number of retained symbols 0, 1, 2 of the second special symbol 3, in the low-expectation variation pattern table setting process, one of the low-expected variation pattern tables AA, BB, and CC is selected with a probability of 100%, and another low-expected variation pattern table is selected. Never happen.

  In the low-expected deviation pattern table setting process, the low-expected fluctuation pattern table that is selected when the remaining number of holdings is large is generally the low-expected fluctuation that is selected when the remaining holding number is low Compared to the pattern table step, a variation pattern with a short variation time from the special chart is described, and when the number of lottery processes that are put on hold is small, it is special in a short time. The symbols are displayed in a variable manner.

  Next, the variation pattern determination process in step S1560 will be described. In this variation pattern setting process, variation is performed based on the variation pattern table set in the hit variation pattern table setting process in step S1520, the high expectation disappointment variation pattern setting process in step S1540, or the low expectation disappointment variation pattern setting process in step S1550. A pattern is determined. Hereinafter, the variation pattern determination process will be described for each set variation pattern table. FIG. 204 is a list of variation patterns determined based on the hit variation pattern tables A to C that can be selected in the hit variation pattern table setting process. FIG. 205 is a list of variation patterns determined based on hit variation pattern tables D to M that can be selected in the hit variation pattern table setting process. FIG. 206 is a list of variation patterns determined on the basis of the high-expected loss variation pattern tables N to S that can be selected in the high-expected loss variation pattern setting process. FIG. 207 is a list of variation patterns determined based on the low-expected variation pattern tables T to Z, AA, BB, and CC that can be selected in the low-expected variation pattern setting process. 204 to 207 also show the distribution of variation patterns determined based on each variation pattern table.

  Each variation pattern table A to Z, AA, BB, and CC associates a total number of 251 (0 to 255) second variation pattern random numbers with each variation pattern. Then, the main control MPU 4100a uses the set variation pattern table to display the variation pattern associated with the second variation pattern random number included in the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed as the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed. The variation pattern in the variation corresponding to is determined. Further, when the variation pattern is determined, main control MPU 4100a determines the variation type for each variation pattern based on the variation type random number included in the special symbol lottery unit data to be processed. As will be described later, there are usually four types of variation types: double, triple, and quadruple. FIGS. 204 to 207 also show the distribution of variation types for each variation pattern.

  For example, when the set fluctuation pattern table is A, as shown in FIG. 204, numbers 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25 , 27, 28, 36, and 37 are changed to any one of three fluctuation patterns, 3/251, 22/251, 4/251, 5/251, 7/251, 30/251, and 251, respectively. 34/251, 3/251, 17/251, 3/251, 20/251, 20/251, 33/251, 13/251, 13/251, 2/251, 251 It is determined with a probability of 17 / minute, 4/251, and 13/251.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 204, when the fluctuation pattern of No. 20 (per live-action reach A) is selected, the fluctuation type is “normal” with a probability of 78/233 and a probability of 40/233. Is determined to be “3 stations” with a probability of 110/233, and “4 stations” with a probability of 5/233.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 207, when the set fluctuation pattern table is X, the fluctuation pattern of number 125 (normal fluctuation (hold 3)) is selected with a probability of 100%. Note that the variation type of the variation pattern determined based on the variation pattern tables TZ, AA, BB, and CC shown in FIG. 207 is determined as “normal” with a probability of 100%. The type distribution is not shown.

  When the variation pattern and the corresponding variation type are determined in this way, a command (information) corresponding to the determined variation pattern and variation type is transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral board 4010, and the peripheral board The peripheral control MPU 4140a in 4010 is used for processing such as effect lottery. That is, the decorative symbol variation display and effect display (continuous effect, reach effect, etc.) displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 are actually commands transmitted from the main control board 4100 within the peripheral board 4010. It is decided according to. In this sense, the control related to the variation display and the effect display of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 is performed in cooperation with the main control board 4100 and the peripheral board 4010 (display control means).

[About change processing]
Next, the changing process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 208 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the changing process. In the changing process, first, it is determined whether or not the special symbol is changing (step S1801). Here, if any one of the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 is changing, it is determined that it is changing. If the special symbol is not changing (NO in step S1801), the changing process is terminated as it is.

  If it is determined in step S1801 that the special symbol is changing (YES in step S1801), the process proceeds to step S1802, and it is determined whether or not the variable time has ended. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the variation time set in the timer has elapsed in the variation pattern setting process. If the variation time has not elapsed, the process waits until the variation time has elapsed (NO in step S1802). When the fluctuation time has elapsed (YES in step S1802), the special symbol fluctuation is stopped (step S1803). That is, the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result is derived and displayed on the changing display unit of the first special symbol display unit 641 or the second special symbol display unit 642.

  When the variation of the special symbol is stopped (step S1803), it is determined whether or not any of the jackpot flags is ON (step S1804). That is, as a result of the fact that the current fluctuation is stopped and the lottery result is derived, it is determined whether or not any jackpot game is started. If any of the jackpot flags is in the ON state (YES in step S1804), the processing flag is updated to “3” (step S1805), and the changing process is terminated. If none of the big hit flags is in the ON state (NO in step S1804), it is next determined whether or not the small hit flag is in the ON state (step S1806). That is, it is determined whether or not the attacker unit operation process is started as a result of the current fluctuation being stopped and the lottery result being derived. If the small hit flag is in the ON state (YES in step S1806), the processing flag is updated to “4” (step S1807), and the changing process is terminated. If the small hit flag is not in the ON state (NO in step S1806), the processing flag is updated to “0” (step S1808), and the changing process is terminated.

[About jackpot game start processing]
Next, the jackpot game start processing will be described based on FIG. FIG. 209 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the jackpot game start process. In the jackpot game start process, the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether or not the probability variation function is in operation (step S2001). When the jackpot game is being executed, the probability changing function is not operated. Therefore, when the probability changing function is operating, the main control MPU 4100a stops the operation of the probability changing function (step S2002) and proceeds to step S2003. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2001 that the probability variation function is not operating (NO in step S2001), main control MPU 4100a skips step S2002 and proceeds to step S2003.

  In step S2003, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 of the opening / closing member 2006 is an acceleration mode. When the jackpot game is being executed, the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 of the opening / closing member 2006 is set to the normal mode. Therefore, the main control MPU 4100a is configured to move the movable piece 2005 when the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 is the promotion mode. The operation mode is changed to the normal mode (step S2004), and the process proceeds to step S2005. On the other hand, when the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 is a normal mode in step S2003 (NO in step S2003), the main control MPU 4100a skips step S2004 and proceeds to step S2005.

  In step S2005, the main control MPU 4100a recognizes the jackpot type by referring to the jackpot flag, and sets the opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 according to the jackpot type. For example, when the jackpot type is “jackpot A” or “jackpot B”, the maximum opening of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 per round is achieved in order to realize the above-described long-time opening / closing pattern (for example, 15 rounds). The time (for example, 26 seconds to 33 seconds) and the maximum winning number (for example, 10 balls) are set. Then, after that, the process proceeds to step S2006, the processing flag is updated to “5”, and the jackpot game start processing is ended.

[About processing when small hits are established]
Next, based on FIG. 210, the process when the small hit is established will be described. FIG. 210 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing when a small hit is established. In the small hitting establishment process, first, the opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is set to the opening / closing pattern for small hitting (in this embodiment, as described above, the short-time opening / closing pattern). Specifically, in order to realize a short-time opening / closing pattern, the number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds), the opening time of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 per time (for example, between 0.05 seconds to 0.6 seconds) ) And a maximum winning number (for example, two balls) are set (step S2201). Thereafter, the processing flag is updated to “6” and the process when the small hit is established is ended (step S2202).

[Special electric utility jackpot control processing]
Next, based on FIG. 211, the special electric utility jackpot control process will be described. FIG. 211 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the special electric utility jackpot control process. In the special electric utility jackpot control process, the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether or not the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is being opened (step S2401). If the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is being opened (YES in step S2401), the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the preset maximum opening time of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 has elapsed ( Step S2402). Specifically, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the maximum opening time set in step S2005 has elapsed. If it is determined that the maximum opening time of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 has elapsed (YES in step S2402), the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is closed (step S2404), and the process proceeds to step S2405.

  If the opening time of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 has not elapsed in step S2402 (NO in step S2402), the main control MPU 4100a determines that the game ball with the maximum number of winnings set in advance is the big winning port 2003 of the attacker unit 2000. It is determined whether or not it has been accepted (step S2403). Specifically, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the count value by the count sensor 2014 has reached the maximum number of winnings set in step S2005. If the main control MPU 4100a determines that the maximum number of game balls has been received in the big prize opening 2003 of the attacker unit 2000 (YES in step S2403), the main control MPU 4100a proceeds to step S2404 and closes the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000. On the other hand, if the maximum number of game balls is not received in the big prize opening 2003 of the attacker unit 2000, the process returns to step S2402.

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not a preset number of rounds has been reached (step S2405). Specifically, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the number of rounds set in step S2005 has been reached. If the number of rounds set in advance is reached (YES in step S2405), the main control MPU 4100a proceeds to step S2407, where a big hit flag (big hit A flag, big hit B flag, big hit C flag, big hit D flag, Of the big hit E flag, the flag that is in the ON state) is turned OFF. On the other hand, if the preset round number has not been reached (NO in step S2405), the main control MPU 4100a performs the opening process of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 (step S2406), and returns to step S2402.

  If it is determined in step S2401 that the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is not open (NO in step S2401), the process proceeds to step S2405.

  After turning off the jackpot flag in step S2407, it is determined whether or not the probability variation function should be activated (step S2408). If the probability variation function is to be activated, the probability variation function is activated (step S2409). Specifically, if the jackpot flag turned OFF in step S2407 is one of the jackpot A flag, jackpot C flag, jackpot D flag, jackpot E flag, the main control MPU 4100a operates the probability variation function. To do.

  When the probability changing function is activated, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 that opens and closes the second start port 2002 is changed from the normal mode to the promotion mode (step S2410). In the present embodiment, specifically, when the type of jackpot that caused the occurrence of the jackpot game is jackpot A, E, or C, the main control MPU 4100a enters the gaming state when the jackpot is won. Regardless, it is determined that the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 is changed from the normal mode to the promotion mode. When the type of jackpot that caused the occurrence of the jackpot game is jackpot D, the main control MPU 4100a operates the movable piece 2005 if the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot is the external normal gaming state A. If it is determined that the mode is not changed from the normal mode to the promotion mode and the game mode is other than the external normal game state A (the external normal game state A or the external advantageous game state A, B), the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 is normal. It is determined that the mode is changed from the mode to the mode of promotion. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the jackpot A, E, C is won among the jackpots (so-called odd jackpots) in which the probability changing function is activated after the jackpot game, the game machine is always in the external advantageous gaming state B after the jackpot game Transition. In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when winning the jackpot D out of the so-called probability variation jackpot, the external normal gaming state B is only after the jackpot game if the gaming state at the time of winning is the external normal gaming state A. When the game state at the time of winning is other than the external normal game state A, the game shifts to the external advantageous game state B.

  When determining that the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 is changed from the normal mode to the promotion mode, the main control MPU 4100a changes the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 from the normal mode to the promotion mode (step S2411). It is updated to “0” (step S2414), and the special feature jackpot control process is terminated. On the other hand, when determining that the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 is not changed from the normal mode to the promotion mode, the main control MPU 4100a skips step S2411 and updates the processing flag to “0” (step S2414). The jackpot control process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, when it is determined in step S2408 that the probability variation function should not be activated (big hit B) (NO in step S2408), the operation mode of the movable piece 2005 is normal. The mode is changed to the promotion mode (step S2412). After that, the main control MPU 4100a sets the number of operations (for example, 100 times) of the movable piece 2005 in the promotion mode (step S2413), updates the processing flag to “0” (step S2414), and hits the special electric accessory big hit The control process ends. That is, the gaming machine of the present embodiment always shifts to the external advantageous gaming state A when a so-called normal jackpot (bonus B) is won.

[Attacker unit operation processing]
Next, based on FIG. 212, the attacker unit operation process will be described. FIG. 212 is a flowchart showing an example of the attacker unit operation process. In the attacker unit operation process, first, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the maximum number of game balls set in step S2201 has won the big prize opening 2003 of the attacker unit 2000 (step S2501). If the game balls with the maximum number of winnings have won the big winning opening 2003 of the attacker unit 2000 (YES in step S2501), the main control MPU 4100a determines whether the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is being opened or closed ( Step S2502). If the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is being opened / closed (YES in step S2502), the main control MPU 4100a closes the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 (step S2503) and sets the small hit flag to the OFF state (step S2503). Step S2509). If the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is not open (ie, closed) in step S2502, the main control MPU 4100a proceeds to step S2509 and sets the small hit flag to the OFF state. Thereafter, the main control MPU 4100a proceeds to step S2510, updates the processing flag to “0”, and ends the attacker unit operation processing.

  If it is determined in step S2501 that the game ball with the maximum number of winnings has not won the big winning port 2003 of the attacker unit 2000, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is open. (Step S2504). If the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is being opened (YES in step S2504), it is determined whether or not the opening time set in advance in step S2201 has elapsed (step S2505), and the opening time is determined. If it has elapsed (YES in step S2505), the main control MPU 4100a closes the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 (step S2506). Thereafter, the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not the number of times of opening / closing the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 has reached the preset number in step S2201 (step S2507), and has reached the preset number. If so (YES in step S2507), the small hit flag is turned off (step S2509), and then the processing flag is updated to “0” (step S2510). If it is determined in step S2504 that the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 is not open (NO in step S2504), the main control MPU 4100a proceeds to step S2507.

  When it is determined in step S2505 that the opening time of the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 has not passed the predetermined time (NO in step S2505), the main control MPU 4100a returns to step S2501. If it is determined in step S2507 that the number of times the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 has not been opened (NO in step S2507), the main control MPU 4100a opens the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 again. (Step S2508), and then returns to Step S2501).

  As described above, when it is determined that the game ball set in advance has won the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 (YES in step S2501), the main control MPU 4100a determines that the opening / closing member 2006 of the attacker unit 2000 set in advance in step S2201. Regardless of whether or not the number of opening / closing operations has been reached, the attacker unit operation processing is terminated.

[Variation display and effect display of decorative design]
Next, the decorative symbol variation display and the effect display in each gaming state will be described. When the peripheral control MPU 4140a of the peripheral control board 4140 receives information representing the change pattern and the change type determined in the change pattern setting process (FIG. 197) performed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a Displays on the liquid crystal display device 1400 a decorative display variation display and an effect display based on the determined variation pattern and variation type. The variation display and the effect display of the decorative symbol based on the variation pattern and the variation type are displayed in synchronization with the variation display of the special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 641 or the second special symbol display 642, and a special lottery. The result is displayed on the first special symbol display 641 or the second special symbol display 642 after the special symbol variation display, and at the same time, the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 after the variation symbol variation display. Displayed by a combination of.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the external normal gaming state A, the external normal gaming state B, the external advantageous gaming state A, and the external advantageous gaming state B are set as described above. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when in the external normal gaming state A or the external normal gaming state B, it is difficult for the player to determine the gaming state only by looking at the liquid crystal display device 1400. As shown, the variation display and the effect display of similar or the same decorative design are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 for each variation.

  An example of display contents of the liquid crystal display device 1400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 213 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state in which a decorative symbol variation display and an effect display are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400. FIG. 213A shows the display content of the first display panel 1400a. FIG. 213 (B) shows the display content of the second display panel 1400b. FIG. 213 (C) shows a front view screen of the liquid crystal display device 1400 viewed from the player when the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b are in the display state shown in FIGS. 213 (A) and (B). In other words, it corresponds to an image expressed by superimposing the display content of the first display panel 1400a and the display content of the second display panel 1400b. Note that the state of the display surface of the liquid crystal display device 1400 (first display panel 1400a) viewed from the player center side on the panel center line is also referred to as a front view state, and the front view screen is visible when in the front view state. Display surface. Further, a state where the display surface of the liquid crystal display device 1400 (first display panel 1400a) is viewed from a position on the player side that is shifted to the right side from the panel center line is also referred to as a shifted front view state. Sometimes the display surface visually recognized is also referred to as a front-viewing screen.

  In the example shown in FIG. 213, when the variation pattern (normal reach loss) of No. 128 in FIG. 207 is selected in the variation pattern setting process described above, when the effect before establishment of reach is selected as the effect before establishment of reach. The content of the effect (effect display pattern) displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 is shown. The effect before the reach is established is determined based on the change type by the peripheral control MPU 4140a of the peripheral control board 4140 based on the effect selection table before the reach establishment (shown). The content of the effect display pattern is determined based on the variation pattern determined in step S1560 described above on the main control board 4100. In this example, the first display panel 1400a includes the upper region B1 and the lower region B2. Is divided and displayed. The second display panel 1400b includes an upper region B3 that overlaps the upper region B1 of the first display panel 1400a almost accurately as viewed from the player, and an almost accurate view from the player of the lower region B2 of the first display panel 1400a. And the lower region B4 that overlaps each other, but both regions are controlled to the transparent state CLR. Therefore, for convenience of explanation, FIG. 213 (B) shows a wavy line that divides the upper region B3 and the lower region B4, but the wavy line is not displayed on the actual second display panel 1400b. The entire second display panel 1400b is controlled to the transparent state CLR.

  In this example, an effect screen is displayed in the upper area B1 of the first display panel 1400a as shown in FIG. In addition, a hold display described later is performed in the lower area B2 of the first display panel 1400a. When the predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a is controlled to the transparent state CLR and the area of the second display panel 1400b that overlaps the predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a is controlled to the transparent state CLR, the player When viewing the effect display device 115, the predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a appears white (backlight color). Further, the predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a is controlled to the transparent state CLR, and a predetermined image is displayed in the area of the second display panel 1400b that overlaps the predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a when viewed from the player. Then, when the player views the liquid crystal display device 1400, a predetermined image displayed on the second display panel 1400b on the back side can be seen through a predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a. On the contrary, when a predetermined image is displayed in a predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a and the area of the second display panel 1400b that overlaps the predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a is controlled to be transparent, the player may When the display device 1400 is viewed, the predetermined image displayed in the predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a can be seen in the same manner as the predetermined image is displayed on one normal liquid crystal panel. Furthermore, when the first image is displayed in a predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a and the second image is displayed in an area of the second display panel 1400b that overlaps the predetermined area of the first display panel 1400a, When the person views the liquid crystal display device 1400, an image in which the first image and the second image overlap is seen in the predetermined area. At this time, as described above, since the gap La is provided between the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b, the second image may be located behind the first image. It appears as a three-dimensional image that is recognized by the player and gives a sense of depth.

  On the effect screen displayed in the upper area B1 of the first display panel 1400a, a background image (in the example of FIG. 213, an image of a car or a building) is displayed as a background, and a design symbol group 1153 of decorative symbols is displayed in the center area Is done. The symbol row group 1153 includes three symbol rows, the left symbol row 1153a displayed on the left side when viewed from the player, the middle symbol row 1153b displayed in the middle when viewed from the player, and the right side when viewed from the player. The right symbol row 1153c displayed in is composed of three symbol rows. In the present embodiment, a plurality of decorative symbols 1 to 8 are sequentially arranged and displayed in the symbol rows 1153a to 1153c of the decorative symbols.

  Further, the hold display displayed in the lower area B2 of the first display panel 1400a has a first hold display area 1151 and a second hold display area 1152 adjacent to each other. The first hold display area 1151 has four hold storage display sections, a first hold storage display section 1151a to a fourth hold storage display section 1151d arranged in a line in the left-right direction. The second hold display area 1152 has four hold storage display sections, a fifth hold storage display section 1152a to an eighth hold storage display section 1152d arranged in a line in the left-right direction. The number (4 in the present embodiment) of the reserved storage display portions in the first reserved display area 1151 is equal to the upper limit value of the first special symbol reserved number. Further, the number of sums (4 in the present embodiment) of the reserved storage display portion of the second reserved display area 1152 is equal to the upper limit value of the second special symbol reserved number. In the present embodiment, the number of the reserved storage display portions of the first hold display area 1151 and the number of the hold storage display sections of the second hold display area 1152 are both “4” (holding digestion) on the basis of the pre-holding digestion. "3" based on the later.

  In addition, the first reserved display area 1151 displays the first special symbol hold count, and the second hold display area 1152 displays the second special symbol hold count. In the example of FIG. 213, it is displayed that the first special symbol hold number is “3” in the first hold display area 1151, and the second special symbol hold number is displayed in the second hold display area 1152. “1” is displayed.

  In addition to the hold display, the decoration symbol 1157 is displayed in the lower area B2 of 1400a (FIG. 213 (A)). This decoration symbol 1157 is a symbol different from the decoration symbol displayed in the upper area B1 displayed in FIG. 213, and is a symbol that must always be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 according to the rules of the gaming machine. is there. The decoration symbol 1157 is changed and stopped in accordance with the special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 213 (A), the decoration symbol 1157 is configured such that eight small rectangular images are arranged in the horizontal direction, and the four rectangular images on the left are displayed as the first special symbol display. The right four rectangular images correspond to the display of the second special symbol display 642. The decorative symbol 1157 is always displayed at the same position on the first display panel 1400a while a game is being played in the gaming machine. However, in this specification, in order to avoid the complexity of the drawing, the following drawings are used. Then, the illustration is omitted.

  Here, instead of the above display mode, the contents displayed in the lower area B2 of the first display panel 1400a (in the present embodiment, the hold display and the display of the decorative pattern 1157) are displayed in the lower area of the second display panel 1400b. You may display on B4. In this case, the lower region B2 of the first display panel 1400a is preferably controlled to the transparent state CLR.

  When the variation pattern of normal reach loss is selected and the pre-reach establishment effect is determined as the normal reach establishment effect, all the effect display patterns displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 are performed using only the first display panel 1400a. First, on the first display panel 1400a, the decorative symbols in the left symbol row 1153a, the middle symbol row 1153b, and the right symbol row 1153c change simultaneously with the start of the change. Thereafter, after a predetermined time elapses, one decorative symbol (for example, seven symbols) stops at a predetermined stop position of the left symbol row 1153a (the center in the vertical direction of the display panels 1400a and 1400b). Later, the same decorative symbol as the decorative symbol stopped in the left symbol row 1153 stops at a predetermined stop position in the right symbol row 1153c, and reach is established. After the reach is established, decorative symbols (for example, eight symbols) different from the decorative symbols (reach symbols) stopped in the left symbol row 1153a and the right symbol row 1153c respectively stop at the predetermined stop position of the middle symbol row 1153b. The change ends.

  When the first special lottery result or the second lottery result wins the big hits A and B in the external normal gaming state, the symbol rows 1153a to 1153c of the decorative symbol 1153 are scrolled in the vertical direction, and then shown in FIG. The display is stopped and displayed at the double eyes (the three symbol rows 1153a to 1153c are the same symbol) across the effect display corresponding to the fluctuation pattern (in many cases, the so-called super reach effect variation pattern). The This doublet is a predetermined combination of decorative symbols (hereinafter also referred to as jackpot symbol combination) for notifying the player of the jackpot in the present embodiment. The jackpot symbol combination is not limited to a flat eye, and may be a specific combination of different types of decorative symbols. For example, a jackpot symbol combination for notifying a certain type of jackpot (for example, jackpot A, B) is set to a flat eye, and a jackpot symbol combination for notifying another type of jackpot (for example, jackpot C, D, E) is of a different type. It may be a specific combination of decorative symbols. Note that combinations of decorative symbols other than a predetermined combination of decorative symbols for notifying jackpots are basically combinations of decorative symbols for notifying a missing symbol (hereinafter referred to as “unknown symbol combinations”). Further, in addition to the combination of decorative symbols for notifying detachment, for example, when the combination of decorative symbols is stopped and displayed, a combination for notifying that the variation continues (for example, a chance eye) is called. .) May be prepared. Specific contents of the super reach production will be described later.

[Direction before reach is established]
[Continuous production]
In addition, as can be seen from the distribution shown in FIGS. 199 and 204, in the variation pattern selected when the first special lottery result or the second lottery result wins the big hit A, B, the variation type is two or three. There are relatively many cases where four stations are selected. When the variation type is “double”, the effect display content in which the effect twice (reach effect) corresponding to the variation effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 during the variation. Similarly, when the variation type is “triple”, the effect display contents in which the effect of three consecutive times and the effect corresponding to the change pattern (reach effect) are combined are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 during the change. The When the variation type is “four stations”, the effect display content in which the effect of four consecutive effects and the effect corresponding to the variation pattern (reach effect) are combined is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 during the variation.

  Here, the n-th continuous effect means that the first special symbol display 641 or the second special symbol display 642 in the liquid crystal display device 1400 after the special symbol is once variably displayed and then stopped. Fluctuation display and stop display of the left symbol row 1153a, middle symbol row 1153b, and right symbol row 1153c are n times (n is a natural number of 2 or more: in this embodiment, n = 2 to 3: 2 times if 2 times, 3 times) If it is 3 times, if it is 4 consecutive times, it is an effect performed over 4 times. In the following, when a variation pattern with a reach effect (for example, variation pattern number 15 in FIG. 204) is selected and triple is selected as the corresponding variation type, the display content displayed on liquid crystal display device 1400 is displayed. As a specific example, the continuous production will be further described.

  214 to 237 are diagrams showing frame images constituting a moving image displayed on the liquid crystal display device as a three-time continuous effect. 214 to 227 show frame images that are temporally later as the figure number increases. By looking at FIGS. 214 to 227 according to the figure number, a moving image as a special effect is shown. Can understand the contents. Since the three consecutive effects are performed using the upper region B1 of the first display panel 1400a described above, FIGS. 214 to 227 illustrate only the display contents of the upper region B1 of the first display panel 1400a. The upper region B3 of the second display panel 1400b that overlaps the upper region B1 of the first display panel 1400a is controlled in the transparent state CLR in this embodiment. Instead, an effect display such as a background may be displayed in the upper area B3 of the second display panel 1400b. In FIGS. 214 to 227, among the display contents of the upper area B1 of the first display panel 1400a, a background image (for example, a building in FIG. 213) is omitted in order to avoid complication of the drawing. The three-time continuous effect is performed in cooperation with the display on the first display panel 1400a by operating the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 (see FIGS. 161, 176, 189, etc.). In FIG. 227, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 is illustrated as appropriate. As described above, the display on the first display panel 1400a is performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a by controlling the VDP 4150c. The operation of the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 is performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a driving the upper middle rotation drive motor 3504 and the like via the lamp drive board 3120.

  First, peripheral control MPU 4140a uses main control MPU 4100a of main control board 4100 as a command with information indicating the selected variation pattern and information indicating that three consecutive effects have been selected as the variation type of the variation pattern. Is received, the symbol variation display and the effect display including the three consecutive effects are started.

  When the variable display and the effect display including the three consecutive effects are started, first, the first display panel 1400a has eight types of symbols in each of the left symbol column 1153a, the middle symbol column 1153b, and the right symbol column 1153c. The decorative symbols (1 symbol to 8 symbols) are displayed at high speed in a predetermined order (not shown). The high-speed variation display is a mode in which the decoration symbols are variably displayed at a high speed that makes it difficult to determine the type of the decoration symbol that the player is changing. 214 to 237, the high-speed variation display of the decorative symbols is represented by three vertical lines (for example, the middle symbol row 1153b and the right symbol row 1153c in FIG. 214). At this point, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 is located at the above-described retracted position so as not to overlap the first display panel 1400a.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 214, the decorative symbol variation display in the left symbol row 1153a is shifted from the high-speed variation display to the low-speed variation display. The low-speed fluctuation display is a mode in which the decorative symbols are variably displayed at a low speed that allows the player to determine the type of the decorative symbols that are changing. In FIG. 214, in the low-speed fluctuation symbol display in the left symbol row 1153a, an image of one of the decorative symbols (one symbol image: a symbol image with the number “1”) S1 is a symbol stop of the left symbol row 1153a. 2 shows a scene in which the image of 2 symbols (2 symbol image: the image of the symbol given the number “2”) S2 is about to reach the symbol stop position after passing the position. At this point, the high-speed variation display of the decorative symbols is continued in each of the middle symbol row 1153b and the right symbol row 1153c. At this time, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 located at the retracted position is rotated and moved to a position where it can be visually recognized by the player so as to overlap the first display panel 1400a. If there is such a movement of the upper middle movable decorative body 3501, the player expects that "this variation may cause some interesting effects to be displayed" or "the jackpot expectation may be displayed" It can make you feel.

  As described above, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 has a cylindrical shape, and is decorated with a weapon called a large machine gun (gatling gun). As described above, the projection 3501 a that emits light is disposed at a position corresponding to the launching port of the Gatling gun at the end opposite to the rotation axis of the upper middle movable decorative body 3501. The upper middle movable decorative body 3501 is configured to be capable of extending and contracting in the axial direction of the cylindrical shape by the upper middle expansion / contraction drive solenoid 3514 as described above. The upper middle movable decorative body 3501 is configured to express a state that a gatling gun is continuously fired by simultaneously performing an axial expansion / contraction operation and a light emitting operation of the upper middle movable decorative body 3501. The operation expressing that the gatling gun is fired continuously is called the firing operation of the upper middle movable decorative body 3501.

  FIG. 215 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 215, following the state shown in FIG. 214, a predetermined decorative design (in the example shown in FIG. 215, 2 design images S2) is stopped and displayed at the design stop position of the left design row 1153a. At this time, the high-speed variation display of the decorative symbols is continued in each of the middle symbol row 1153b and the right symbol row 1153c.

  FIG. 216 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 216, following the state shown in FIG. 215, a message MA indicating that it is disadvantageous for the player to reach is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 216, a message using a relatively indirect expression “DANGER !!” is displayed. Instead, “Don't establish reach!” A message using a relatively direct expression such as “!” May be displayed. Substantially in the same manner as the display of this message MA, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 that imitates the Gatling gun is directed so that the Gatling gun launcher is directed to the stop position of the right symbol row 1153c, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. It rotates. The player who sees the displayed message MA can recognize that “there is no chance of reaching here, it is more likely to be a big hit”, while wishing that “the reach is not here” You will see the progress of the production.

  FIG. 217 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. After the state shown in FIG. 216, the right symbol row 1153c shifts from the state in which the decorative symbol is displayed with high speed fluctuation to the state in which low speed fluctuation is displayed. At the time shown in FIG. 217, the 1 symbol image S1 passes the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c, and the 2 symbol image S2 is about to reach the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c. That is, a state where the same kind of symbol as the two symbol image S2 stopped and displayed at the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a has reached and stopped at the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c, and the reach state is about to be established. It is. At this time, the movable decorative body 3501 that imitates the upper middle Gatling gun has been rotated to a position toward the 2 symbol image S2 that is about to reach the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c. In the state shown in FIG. 217, high-speed fluctuation display of the decorative symbols is performed in the middle symbol row 1153b.

  FIG. 218 shows a frame image after several frames of the frame image shown in FIG. After the state shown in FIG. 217, it is expressed that the Gatling gun fires on the 2 symbol image S2 that is about to reach the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c and destroys the 2 symbol image S2. The Specifically, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 is finely expanded and contracted (vibrated) in the axial direction of the cylindrical shape, and the projection 3501a imitating the launch port of the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 is blinked, so that the Gatling gun The firing operation of bombarding is represented in the 2-design image S2. At the same time, on the first display panel 1400a, the two-design image S2 is displayed with fine vibrations, and a number of images representing small explosions are displayed on the two-design image S2, and the two-design image S2 is gatling. It is expressed that the gun is under attack. At the same time, the gatling gun firing sound is output from the speaker 121 as a sound effect. A display in which the Gatling gun shown in FIG. 218 attempts to destroy the 2-symbol image S2 can be called a reach prevention effect display.

  FIG. 219 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. 218. After displaying for a while an effect expressing that the two symbols in the right symbol row 1153c shown in FIG. 218 are to be bombarded and destroyed, the two-successful design has succeeded in destroying the two symbol images as shown in FIG. 219. It is displayed that two symbols cause a big explosion. Specifically, an explosion that causes two symbols to explode is displayed, and the first display panel 1400a displays that the two symbols are shattered. At the same time, an explosion sound is output from the speaker 121 as a sound effect. The display as shown in FIG. 219 in which the two symbols are successfully destroyed and the two symbols cause a large explosion can be called a reach prevention success display. Immediately after the reach prevention success display, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 returns to the retracted position and is not visible to the player.

  220 shows a frame image after several frames of the frame image shown in FIG. In FIG. 219, after the symbol destruction of 2 symbols is expressed, the decorative symbols (example in FIG. In the 2 symbol image S2), a decorative symbol (4 symbols S4 in the example shown in FIG. 220) that does not constitute a jackpot symbol combination is displayed. In this embodiment, the decorative symbols are moved from the rear (back side of the screen) to the front (player side) at the symbol stop position of the middle symbol row 1153b and the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c. The image is gradually enlarged. Here, the decoration symbol may be displayed so as to fall from above the first display panel 1400a at the symbol stop position of the middle symbol row 1153b and the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c. You may display so that it may raise from the downward direction of the panel 1400a.

  FIG. 221 shows a frame image after several frames of the frame image shown in FIG. After the state shown in FIG. 220, the middle symbol row 1153b and the right symbol row 1153c are enlarged and displayed to the same size as the two symbol images S2 in which the four symbols S4 are stopped on the left symbol row 1153a. The decorative symbols are completely stopped and displayed at the symbol stop positions of the middle symbol row 1153b and the right symbol row 1153c (FIG. 221). At this time, for example, the decorative pattern is stopped in a different manner from the case of displaying the off symbol combination at the end of normal fluctuation, such as blinking the outer edge portion of the decorative symbol that has been stopped and displaying a predetermined color (gold). It may be displayed. By doing this, it is possible to maintain the player's feeling that this change should continue because the reach has been prevented.

  After FIG. 221, each of the left symbol row 1153a, the middle symbol row 1153b, and the right symbol row 1153c is again displayed with high-speed fluctuation display (second fluctuation start: not shown). Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 222, the decorative symbol variation display in the right symbol column 1153c is shifted from the high-speed variation display to the low-speed variation display. In FIG. 222, in the low-speed fluctuation symbol display in the right symbol row 1153c, one symbol image S1 of the decorative symbols passes through the symbol stop position in the right symbol row 1153c, and the two symbol images S2 try to reach the symbol stop position. Shows the scene. At this time, the high-speed variation display of the decorative symbols is continued in each of the middle symbol row 1153b and the left symbol row 1153a. At this time, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 located at the retracted position is rotated again and moved to a position where it can be visually recognized by the player so as to overlap the first display panel 1400a. When there is such a movement of the upper middle movable decorative body 3501, the player feels that “this variation may still have an interesting effect” and “an effect with a higher jackpot expectation may be displayed”. Can be held.

  FIG. 223 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. 222. As shown in FIG. 223, following the state shown in FIG. 222, a predetermined decorative design (2 design images S2 in the example shown in FIG. 222) is stopped and displayed at the design stop position of the right design row 1153c. At this time, the high-speed variation display of the decorative symbols is continued in each of the middle symbol row 1153b and the left symbol row 1153a.

  FIG. 224 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 216, following the state shown in FIG. 215, a message MA indicating that it is disadvantageous for the player to reach is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 224, the message “DANGER !!” is displayed as in FIG. 216, but a message different from that in FIG. 216 may be displayed. In substantially the same manner as the display of this message MA, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 simulating a Gatling gun is directed so that the Gatling gun's launch port is directed to the stop position of the left symbol row 1153a as indicated by an arrow in FIG. It rotates. The player who sees the displayed message MA can recognize that if there is no reach here, it will be more likely to be a big hit. However, you will see the progress of the production.

  FIG. 225 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. After the state shown in FIG. 224, the left symbol row 1153a shifts from the state in which the decorative symbol is displayed with high-speed fluctuation to the state in which low-speed fluctuation is displayed. At the time shown in FIG. 224, the 1 symbol image S1 passes the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a, and the 2 symbol image S2 is about to reach the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a. That is, the same kind of symbol as the two symbol image S2 that is stopped and displayed at the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c has reached and stopped at the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a, and the reach state is about to be established. It is. At this time, the movable decorative body 3501 that imitates the upper middle Gatling gun has been rotated to a position toward the 2 symbol image S2 that is about to reach the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a. In the state shown in FIG. 225, the high-speed fluctuation display of the decorative symbols is continuously performed in the middle symbol row 1153b.

  FIG. 226 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. After the state shown in FIG. 225, it is expressed that a Gatling gun fires and destroys the two symbols for the two symbols that are about to reach the symbol stop position in the left symbol row 1153a (reach prevention). Production display).

  FIG. 227 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. After the effect expressing that the two symbols in the left symbol row 1153a shown in FIG. 226 are to be bombarded and destroyed is displayed for a while, in the third consecutive effect, the two symbols are successfully destroyed as shown in FIG. It is displayed that the 2 symbols will undergo a large explosion (reach prevention success display). Immediately after the reach prevention success display, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 returns to the retracted position and is not visible to the player.

  FIG. 228 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. In FIG. 227, after the destruction of the two symbols is expressed, the decorative symbols (example of FIG. 228) stopped and displayed in the right symbol row 1153c are displayed at the symbol stop position of the middle symbol row 1153b and the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a. In the 2 symbol image S2), a decorative symbol (4 symbols S4 in the example shown in FIG. 228) that does not constitute a jackpot symbol combination is displayed. In this embodiment, the decorative symbols are moved from the rear (back side of the screen) to the front (player side) at the symbol stop position of the middle symbol row 1153b and the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a. The image is gradually enlarged. Here, the decoration symbol may be displayed so as to fall from above the first display panel 1400a at the symbol stop position of the middle symbol row 1153b and the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a, or the first display. You may display so that it may raise from the downward direction of the panel 1400a.

  FIG. 229 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. After the state shown in FIG. 228, the left symbol row 1153a and the middle symbol row 1153b are enlarged and displayed to the same size as the two symbol images S2 in which the four symbols S4 are stopped and displayed on the right symbol row 1153c. Then, the decorative symbols are completely stopped and displayed at the respective symbol stop positions of the middle symbol row 1153b and the right symbol row 1153c (FIG. 229). At this time, in the same manner as the image shown in FIG. 221, for example, the outlying symbol combination is displayed at the end of the normal variation, for example, the outer edge portion of the decorative symbol that has been stopped is blinked, or is set to a predetermined color (gold). The decorative symbol may be stopped and displayed in a different manner from the case. By doing this, it is possible to maintain the player's feeling that this change should continue because the reach has been prevented.

  After FIG. 229, each of the left symbol row 1153a, the middle symbol row 1153b, and the right symbol row 1153c is again displayed with high-speed fluctuation display (start of the third fluctuation: not shown). Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 230, the decorative symbol variation display in the left symbol row 1153a is shifted from the high-speed variation display to the low-speed variation display. 230, in the low-speed fluctuation symbol display in the left symbol row 1153a, one symbol image S1 of the decorative symbols passes through the symbol stop position in the left symbol row 1153a, and the two symbol images S2 try to reach the symbol stop position. Shows the scene. At this point, the high-speed variation display of the decorative symbols is continued in each of the middle symbol row 1153b and the right symbol row 1153c. At this time, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 located at the retracted position is rotated again and moved to a position where it can be visually recognized by the player so as to overlap the first display panel 1400a. When there is such a movement of the upper middle movable decorative body 3501, the player feels that “this variation may still have an interesting effect” and “an effect with a higher jackpot expectation may be displayed”. Can be held.

  FIG. 231 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. 230. As shown in FIG. 231, following the state shown in FIG. 230, a predetermined decorative design (in the example shown in FIG. 231, 2 design images S <b> 2) is stopped and displayed at the design stop position of the right design row 1153 c. At this time, the high-speed variation display of the decorative symbols is continued in each of the middle symbol row 1153b and the left symbol row 1153a.

  FIG. 232 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 232, following the state shown in FIG. 231, a message MA indicating that reaching is unfavorable for the player is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 232, the message “DANGER !!” is displayed as in FIGS. 216 and 224, but a message different from that in FIGS. 216 and 224 may be displayed. In substantially the same manner as the display of this message MA, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 simulating a Gatling gun is directed so that the Gatling gun's launch port is directed to the stop position of the left symbol row 1153a as indicated by an arrow in FIG. It rotates. The player who sees the displayed message MA can recognize that if there is no reach here, it will be more likely to be a big hit. However, you will see the progress of the production.

  FIG. 233 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. After the state shown in FIG. 232, the right symbol row 1153c shifts from a state in which the decorative symbol is displayed with high-speed fluctuation to a state in which low-speed fluctuation is displayed. At the time shown in FIG. 232, the 1 symbol image S1 passes the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a and the 2 symbol image S2 is about to reach the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a. That is, a state where the same kind of symbol as the two symbol image S2 stopped and displayed at the symbol stop position of the left symbol row 1153a has reached and stopped at the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c, and the reach state is about to be established. It is. At this time, the movable decorative body 3501 that imitates the upper middle Gatling gun has been rotated to a position toward the 2 symbol image S2 that is about to reach the symbol stop position of the right symbol row 1153c. In the state shown in FIG. 233, the high-speed fluctuation display of the decorative symbols is continuously performed in the middle symbol row 1153b.

  FIG. 234 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. After the state shown in FIG. 233, it is expressed that a Gatling gun fires and destroys the two symbols that are about to reach the symbol stop position in the right symbol row 1153c (reach prevention). Production display).

  FIG. 235 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. After the effect expressing that the two symbols in the right symbol row 1153c shown in FIG. 234 are to be bombarded and destroyed is displayed for a while, in the third consecutive effect, the destruction of the two symbols fails as shown in FIG. It is displayed that the two symbols do not explode and stop at the symbol stop position in the right symbol row 1153c. The display that the two symbols shown in FIG. 235 do not explode and stop at the symbol stop position in the right symbol row 1153c can also be called a reach prevention failure display. Immediately after the reach prevention failure effect display, the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 returns to the retracted position and becomes invisible to the player. Reach is established at the same time as the reach prevention failure display.

  FIG. 236 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image shown in FIG. When reach is established together with the reach prevention failure display in FIG. 235, a message MA2 indicating the reach is displayed as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the message MA2 is “REACH”. Instead of this, other types of characters, symbols, and figures may be displayed. In addition, instead of the message MA2 or instead of the message MA2, a sound and sound effect for notifying reach establishment may be output from the speaker 121. In the present embodiment, the message MA2 is displayed, and thereafter, the display of the message MA2 is erased, and the high-speed fluctuation display of the decorative symbol shifts to the low-speed fluctuation display in the middle symbol row 1153b as shown in FIG.

  After the state shown in FIG. 237, the reach effect corresponding to the variation pattern is displayed. The reach effect will be described later, but after the reach effect, the jackpot symbol combination or the off symbol combination is finally stopped and displayed in the left symbol column 1153a, the middle symbol column 1153b, and the right symbol column 1153c, and the special lottery result of the change Is notified to the player. In the above description, the three-time production has been described. However, in this embodiment, the production is not continuous (one time), continuous twice, and continuous four times. In the case of non-continuity, after the first reach prevention effect display (FIG. 218), the reach prevention failure effect display shown in FIG. 235 is made and the reach state is established as shown in FIGS. In the case of two consecutive times, after the first reach prevention effect display (FIG. 226), the reach prevention failure effect display shown in FIG. 235 is made, and the reach state is established as shown in FIGS. In the case of four consecutive times, after the third reach prevention effect display (FIG. 234), after the reach prevention successful effect display shown in FIG. 219 again, in the manner shown in FIGS. 220 to 226, the jackpot symbol combination After the decorative pattern stop different from the fourth, the fourth variation start, the fourth reach prevention effect display, and the reach prevention failure effect display are displayed, as shown in FIGS. 236 to 237, the establishment of reach is displayed.

  Here, as can be seen from the lists in FIG. 204 and FIG. 206, whether the special symbol lottery result is a big hit or not, the continuous effect is produced in the variation corresponding to the lottery. May be selected as a variation type. Here, the probability that the special symbol lottery result corresponding to the variation in which the effect display content (effect display pattern) accompanied by the n-time continuous effect is displayed is a big hit, in other words, the effect display content (effect display) with the n-time continuous effect. Let X be the probability that a jackpot symbol combination will be displayed as the final stop symbol due to the variation in which the (pattern) is displayed. In addition, the probability that the special symbol lottery result corresponding to the change in which the effect display content (effect display pattern) accompanied by the n-th consecutive effect is displayed, in other words, the effect display content (effect display pattern) accompanied by the n-th consecutive effect ) Is the probability that an out symbol combination will be displayed as a final stop symbol due to the change displayed. At this time, it is possible to represent the degree of jackpot expectation (hit probability) when n consecutive effects are displayed by the ratio of X and Y. For example, if X is 1/500 and Y is 1/500, it can be said that jackpot expectation = X / (X + Y) = 0.5, that is, 50%. In the present embodiment, the variation type and the variation pattern are distributed so that the greater the number of consecutive times of the n-time production (the larger the value of n), the greater the expectation of jackpot when the continuous production is displayed. (FIGS. 199, 201, and 203 to 207).

Specifically, the probability that the variation pattern of number 15 is performed three times with the continuous effect is the probability that the variation pattern table A is selected × the probability that the variation pattern of number 15 is selected in the variation pattern table A × number This is expressed as a probability that three consecutive effects are selected in 15 variation patterns. For example, if it is calculated assuming that all winnings in the external normal state are winnings to the first starting port 2001,
Probability that winning variation pattern table A is selected = winning probability of jackpot A × probability of winning variation pattern table A being selected when winning jackpot A + winning probability of winning jackpot B × winning variation pattern table A is selected when winning winning jackpot B Probability = 1/350 × 0.32 × 126/241 + 1/350 × 0.32 × 166/241 = 1.108 × 10 −3
Probability that the fluctuation pattern number 15 is selected in the hit fluctuation pattern table A = 17/251
Probability of selecting 3 consecutive performances in the fluctuation pattern of number 15 = 130/233
Therefore, the probability that the fluctuation pattern of number 15 is performed with the continuous production three times in the external normal state = 1.108 × 10 −3 × 17/251 × 130/233 = 4.186 × 10 −5.
In the jackpot variation pattern calculated in this way, when the probability that three consecutive effects are selected is summed for all the jackpot variation patterns, an effect display pattern that is a jackpot is displayed after the three consecutive effects are displayed. The probability of being
In addition, when the probability that the three consecutive effects are selected in the deviation variation pattern is summed with respect to all the variation variations, the probability that an effect display pattern that is off after the third variation is displayed is displayed. Can be calculated.

  For example, in the distribution examples shown in FIGS. 199, 201, and 203 to 206 described above, the probability of winning a jackpot when the continuous effect is displayed twice in the external normal gaming state is approximately 7.5%, and the consecutive three times. The probability of winning a jackpot when the effect is displayed is set to about 12%, and the probability of winning the jackpot when the effect is displayed four times is set to about 45%. Also, in the external advantageous game form, the variation type and the variation are such that the greater the number of consecutive times of the n-time production (the larger the value of n), the greater the jackpot expectation when the continuous production is displayed. The pattern is distributed.

[About the slip direction]
When the variation pattern determined on the main control board 4100 includes a predetermined reach effect and the variation type is “normal”, the peripheral control MPU 4140a, in addition to the above-described effect before the establishment of the normal reach, In some cases, the smooth production is selected as the production before the establishment. In this embodiment, a plurality of types of slip effects are prepared, and one of them, a cut-out slip effect, will be described with reference to FIGS. 238 to 253.

  238 to 253, (A) shows the display contents of the first display panel 1400a, (B) shows the display contents of the second display panel 1400b, and (C) shows the display contents of the first display panel 1400a. The figure of the content (front view visual image) expressed by overlapping with the display content of the 2nd display panel 1400b is shown.

  FIG. 238 to FIG. 253 are views showing frame images constituting a moving image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 as a cut-out sliding effect in the present embodiment. FIG. 238 to FIG. 253 show frame images that are temporally later as the figure number increases. By looking at FIG. 238 to FIG. 253 according to the figure number, a moving image as a clipping slip effect is shown. Can understand the contents of

  In the cut-out sliding effect, first, through the same scroll fluctuation as the effect before the establishment of the normal reach, different decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the left symbol row 1153a and the right symbol row 1153c on the first display panel 1400a. In the example shown in FIG. 238, the 7 symbol image (7 symbol image) S7 is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row 1153a, and the 6 symbol image (6 symbol image) S6 is stopped and displayed in the right symbol row 1153c (FIG. 238 (A)). At this time, the middle symbol row 1153b is a state in which the decorative symbols are displayed in a high-speed fluctuation manner.

  At this time, a character image TK similar to an octopus (hereinafter referred to as an octopus character image TK) is displayed on the second display panel 1400b. The octopus character image TK is displayed on the first display panel 1400a at a position where the 6 symbol image S6 stopped and displayed in the right symbol row 1153c and the right end overlap (FIG. 238 (B)). The octopus character image TK is displayed with the decorative symbols variably displayed in the left symbol row 1153a and the right symbol row 1153c on the first display panel 1400a before reaching the state shown in FIG. 238A, that is, in the first display panel 1400a. It may be displayed on the second display panel 1400b from the stage of being displayed. For example, after the octopus character image TK appears on the second display panel 1400b from the end of the second display panel 1400b and the state in which the octopus character image TK moves around on the second display panel 1400b is displayed, FIG. May be stopped and displayed at the position shown in FIG. Instead of this, the octopus character image TK may be displayed as if it suddenly appeared at the position shown in FIG. Further, the portion of the second display panel 1400b excluding the octopus character image TK is controlled to the transparent state CLR.

  The front visual image of the frame image in FIG. 238 is a combination of the effect image displayed on the first display panel 1400a and the octopus character image TK displayed on the second display panel 1400b (FIG. 238 (C )). The octopus character image TK is displayed as if looking into the front 6 symbol image S6. The player feels three-dimensionally that the octopus character is looking into the front 6 symbol image S6. Here, the octopus character image TK is displayed in a relatively darker color than the image displayed on the first display panel 1400a as a whole (in this embodiment, a color mainly composed of black and dark gray). . A dark color is a color with low brightness, and an image displayed with a dark color means that, for example, the average value of brightness of each pixel constituting the image is low. For example, when the lightness is represented by 256 gradations of 0 to 255, 0 represents black with the lowest lightness, and 255 represents white with the highest lightness, the average value of the lightness of each pixel constituting the image is 100 or less. This is the case. Thereby, the octopus character image TK is displayed on the second display panel 1400b on the back side of the first display panel 1400a, and is recognized by the viewer while overlapping with the display image of the first display panel 1400a. The presence is recognized by the viewer relatively clearly.

  FIG. 239 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image of FIG. 238. In the frame image of FIG. 239, a state in which the tacho character image TK displayed on the second display panel 1400b emits a laser beam to the effect image displayed on the first display panel 1400a is displayed. Specifically, on the second display panel 1400b, an image on the emission source side (laser source side laser image) LZ1 of the laser beam emitted from the octopus character image TK is displayed (FIG. 239 (B)). Further, on the first display panel 1400a, an image on the tip side of the laser beam (tip-side laser image) LZ2 is displayed (FIG. 239 (A)). The emission source side laser image LZ1 is located at a position where one end overlaps the octopus character image TK, and the other end is located at the upper left position of the 6-design image S6 that is stopped and displayed on the first display panel 1400a from the end. It is the strip | belt-shaped image extended so that a part might be located. One end portion of the front end side laser image LZ2 is located at a position overlapping with the other end portion of the emission source side laser image LZ1 displayed on the second display panel 1400b, and from the end portion, the emission source side laser image LZ1 is displayed. It is the strip | belt-shaped image extended on the extended line of strip | belt-shaped shape. As shown by a black circle in FIG. 239 (B), laser light is applied to the first display panel 1400a from the back side at one end of the front end side laser image LZ2, and penetrates through the first display panel 1400a. The penetration part image LZP to be displayed is displayed. The display content of the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b of the frame image of FIG. 239 is the frame image of FIG. 238 except that the emission source side laser image LZ1 and the tip side laser image LZ2 are additionally displayed. Is the same as the displayed content.

  In the front view image of the frame image of FIG. 239, the emission source side laser image LZ1 and the tip side laser image LZ2 are additionally displayed on the front view image of the frame image of FIG. 238 (FIG. 239 (C)). The player recognizes it as an image of one laser beam by combining the emission source side laser image LZ1 and the front end side laser image LZ2. At this time, the emission source side laser image LZ1 is displayed on the second display panel 1400b positioned on the back side when viewed from the player, and the tip side laser image LZ2 is displayed on the front side when viewed from the player. Since it is displayed on the panel 1400a, it is possible to make the player feel three-dimensionally that a laser beam is emitted from the back side to the front side. Further, the penetration portion image LZP (FIG. 239 (C) described above) is formed at the joint portion between the emission source side laser image LZ1 displayed on the second display panel 1400b and the distal end side laser image LZ2 displayed on the first display panel 1400a. ), A laser beam emitted from the tacho character image TK located on the far side of the display image on the first display panel 1400a toward the display image on the first display panel 1400a is displayed to the player. A state in which the display image of the first display panel 1400a is penetrated can be felt three-dimensionally.

  240 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image of FIG. 239. In the frame image of FIG. 240, the image of the laser beam emitted from the octopus character image TK is displayed so as to move the penetrating part image LZP in the right direction of the screen. That is, the emission source side laser image LZ1 displayed on the second display panel 1400b and the front end side laser image LZ2 displayed on the first display panel 1400a are moved and displayed in conjunction with each other. In the first display panel 1400a, a cut line image (cut line image) CLN is displayed on the trace through which the penetrating portion image LZP has passed. The display contents of the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b of the frame image in FIG. 240 are additionally displayed as a point where the emission source side laser image LZ1 and the tip side laser image LZ2 are moved and displayed and a cut-out line image CLN. The display contents of the frame image in FIG. 238 are the same except for the above.

  240 shows that the laser beam displayed in the frame image of FIG. 239 moves and cuts the upper part of the 6-symbol image S6 displayed on the first display panel 1400a. It will be. For the player, the display image on the first display panel 1400a is manipulated by the laser beam emitted from the octopus character image TK located on the far side of the display image on the first display panel 1400a toward the display image on the first display panel 1400a. The state of cutting is recognized in three dimensions.

  FIG. 241 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image of FIG. FIG. 242 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 241 and 242, the image of the laser beam emitted from the octopus character image TK is moved and displayed so that the outer portion of the six-symbol image S6 is made to go around the penetrating part image LZP. That is, the emission source side laser image LZ1 displayed on the second display panel 1400b and the front end side laser image LZ2 displayed on the first display panel 1400a are moved and displayed in conjunction with each other. Then, along with the movement of the image of the laser beam, the cut line image CLN displayed on the trace through which the penetrating portion image LZP has passed on the first display panel 1400a is the 6-symbol image S6 displayed on the first display panel 1400a. The image is displayed so as to be cut out (FIGS. 241 and 242). The display contents of the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b of the frame images in FIGS. 241 and 242 are the point that the emission source side laser image LZ1 and the tip side laser image LZ2 are displayed in a moving manner and the cut-out line image CLN. The display content of the frame image in FIG. 240 is the same as that of FIG. 240 except that the display is extended.

  In the front visually recognized images of the frame images from FIG. 240 to FIG. 242, the laser beam displayed in the frame image of FIG. 239 moves to cut out the entire circumference of the 6-symbol image S6 displayed on the first display panel 1400a. Will be displayed. For the player, the 6 patterns of the first display panel 1400a are manipulated by the laser beam emitted from the octopus character image TK located on the far side of the display image of the first display panel 1400a toward the display image of the first display panel 1400a. A state in which the image S6 is cut out is recognized three-dimensionally.

  FIG. 243 shows a frame image immediately after the frame image of FIG. In the frame image shown in FIG. 243, on the second display panel 1400b, the 7-symbol image S7B is displayed in an area overlapping with the approximate center of the 6-symbol image S6 displayed on the first display panel 1400a as viewed from the player ( FIG. 243 (B)). The 7 symbol image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b is an image smaller than the 6 symbol image S6 displayed on the first display panel 1400a, and the entire image is behind the 6 symbol image S6 as viewed from the player. It is displayed to be located. Further, at this time, it is displayed that the cutting of the entire circumference of the 6-symbol image S6 by the laser beam has been completed, and the emission source side laser image LZ1 of the second display panel 1400b and the front end side of the first display panel 1400a are displayed. The laser image LZ2 has been erased. The display contents of the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b of the frame image in FIG. 243 are the same except that the 7-design image S7B is additionally displayed on the second display panel 1400b and the laser beam image is erased. The display contents of the frame image in FIG. 242 are the same.

  In the front view image of the frame image of FIG. 243, the 7 symbol image S7B appears behind the 6 symbol image S6 stopped and displayed in the right symbol row 1153c on the first display panel 1400a (FIG. 243 (C)). . In the present embodiment, the 6-symbol image S6 and the 7-symbol image S7B are drawn with the same level of density (the average value of the brightness of each pixel constituting the image is about the same). The 7-symbol image S7B is smaller than the 6-symbol image S6. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the front view image, the 7 symbol image S7B cannot be clearly recognized as the 7 symbol image S7B when viewed from the player. It is only possible to recognize that an image of some decorative design appears behind the image S6.

  FIG. 244 shows a frame image immediately after the frame image of FIG. 243. In the frame image of FIG. 244, the first display panel 1400a displays a state in which the cut-out image TR1 drops downward at a speed that naturally drops. The cutout image TR1 refers to an image displayed in the inner area of the cutout line image CLN in FIG. As shown in FIG. 244, the cutout image TR1 includes a 6-design image S6 that is one of the decorative designs, and a background image BGE that is located around the 6-design image S6 and inside the cut-out line image CLN. including. When the cut-out image TR1 moves downward from the position inside the cut-out line image CLN, the cut-out image TR1 is already out of the area where the cut-out image TR1 is displayed before moving (that is, the inside area of the cut-out line image CLN). The area where is not displayed is controlled to the transparent state CLR (FIG. 244 (A)). In the example shown in FIG. 244, the cutout image TR1 moves (drops) downward while rotating slightly clockwise. For this reason, in the state shown in FIG. 244, the upper part and the lower right part of the clipped image TR1 that has started to move (drop) in the inner region of the clipped line image CLN are controlled to the transparent state CLR. Here, in the first display panel 1400a, a region where the clipped image TR1 is already displayed among the regions where the clipped image TR1 is displayed before moving is referred to as a cutout transparent region.

  In the frame image of FIG. 244, in the second display panel 1400b, another world background BGA is displayed in an area overlapping with the cutout transparent area of the first display panel 1400a. The different world background BGA is a background drawn with a different world view from the background image displayed on the first display panel 1400a. For example, in this embodiment, the background image displayed on the first display panel 1400a is an image representing the real world, whereas the different world background BGA displayed on the second display panel 1400b is created by a computer. It is an image that represents the virtual world that was created.

  The front visual image of the frame image of FIG. 244 is a combination of the effect image displayed on the first display panel 1400a, the image of another world background BGA displayed on the second display panel 1400b, and the octopus character image TK. (FIG. 244 (C)). A part of the world represented by the image displayed on the first display panel 1400a (the area where the cut-out image TR1 was displayed before moving (dropping)) is cut out and the player starts dropping, It becomes a hollow, and you can make it feel like you can see another world hidden from the hollow.

  FIG. 245 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image of FIG. FIG. 246 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image of FIG. 245. As shown in FIGS. 245 and 246, in the first display panel 1400a, the clipped image TR1 is displayed as moving (falling) further from the state shown in FIG. 244, and the clipped clipped image TR1 is displayed. Natural fall is expressed (FIGS. 245 (A) and 246 (A)). Of the region where the cutout image TR1 is displayed before moving as described above (ie, the inner region of the cutout line image CLN), the region where the cutout image TR1 is not already displayed is controlled to the transparent state CLR. Therefore, in conjunction with the movement display of the cutout image TR1, the cutout transparent area is sequentially enlarged. Then, in the second display panel 1400b, another world background BGA is displayed in a portion overlapping the cutout transparent region of the first display panel 1400a (FIGS. 245 (B) and 246 (B)). That is, in conjunction with the enlargement of the cutout transparent area in the first display panel 1400a, the area in which the different world background BGA is displayed in the second display panel 1400b is also enlarged sequentially.

  The front view image of the frame image of FIGS. 245 and 246 is a combination of the effect image displayed on the first display panel 1400a, the image of the different world background BGA displayed on the second display panel 1400b, and the octopus character image TK. It becomes the contents (FIGS. 245 (C) and 246 (C)). To the player, a part of the world represented by the image displayed on the first display panel 1400a (the area where the cut-out image TR1 was displayed before moving (falling)) is cut out and dropped, and as a result The cut-out part becomes a cavity, and it can be felt that another world that has been hidden from the cavity can be seen better. At the time shown in FIG. 245 (C), the cutout transparent area of the first display panel 1400a has expanded to a position that overlaps with the upper part of the 7-pattern image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b. The person can clearly see the upper part of the 7-pattern image S7B through the cut-out transparent region. Furthermore, at the point of time shown in FIG. 246 (C), the cutout transparent region of the first display panel 1400a has expanded to a position that overlaps the entire 7-pattern image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b. The person can clearly see the entire 7 symbol image S7B through the cutout transparent region. That is, in the moving image from the frame image of FIG. 244 to the frame image of FIG. 246, the cutout portion transparent area of the first display panel 1400a is sequentially enlarged, and the cutout portion transparent area of the first display panel 1400a A portion where the 7-pattern image S7B of the display panel 1400b overlaps is sequentially enlarged. As a result, the portion of the 7-symbol image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b that can be visually recognized by the player through the cutout transparent region is enlarged. Finally, the cutout transparent region of the first display panel 1400a and the entire 7-pattern image S7B of the second display panel 1400b overlap each other. In this state, the player can clearly see the entire 7 symbol image S7B through the cutout transparent region. An image of the 7-symbol image S7B that was hidden behind the 6-symbol image S6 and was not clearly visible to the player who viewed the moving image from the frame image of FIG. 244 to the frame image of FIG. It can be made to feel that it has become clearly visible sequentially from the cavity formed by the drop of the cut-out image TR1 including.

  FIG. 247 shows a frame image several frames after the frame image of FIG. In the frame image of FIG. 247, the cutout image TR1 disappears from the first display panel 1400a on the first display panel 1400a (FIG. 247 (A)). The player feels that the cut-out image TR1 has naturally dropped and disappeared to the outside below the first display panel 1400a. The region in which the cutout image TR1 is displayed before the start of movement (falling) (that is, the inner region of the cutout line image CLN) is in a state where the whole is controlled to the transparent state CLR. Then, in the second display panel 1400b, another world background BGA is displayed in the cutout portion transparent area of the first display panel 1400a, that is, the part overlapping the entire inner area of the cutout line image CLN at this time (FIG. 247 ( B)). Then, in FIGS. 238 to 247, 7 symbols are placed at positions on the second display panel 1400 b that overlap with the stop position of the 6 symbol image S 6 that is stopped and displayed in the right symbol row 1153 c of the first display panel 1400 a as viewed from the player. An image S7B is displayed. As a result, the player who has viewed a series of moving images from FIG. 238 to FIG. 247 recognizes that the decorative symbols stopped in the right symbol row 1153c have been replaced by the 6 symbol images S6 to the 7 symbol images S7B.

  Here, the 7-symbol image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b is also referred to as a back-side 7-symbol image S7B in order to distinguish it from a 7-symbol image S7A displayed on the first display panel 1400a described later. The back side 7 symbol image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b of FIG. 247 is similar to the 7 symbol image S7 stopped at the center position of the left symbol row 1153a of the first display panel 1400a. On the other hand, the size of the back 7 symbol image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b of FIG. 247 is one side compared to the 7 symbols stopped at the center position of the left symbol row 1153a of the first display panel 1400a. The length ratio is less than half and the area ratio is less than 1/4.

  In FIGS. 248 to 250, a part of the frame images constituting the moving image following the frame image of FIG. 247 is shown in time series. On the second display panel 1400b of the frame image of FIGS. 248 to 250, the image of the different world background BGA is displayed and the above-mentioned back side 7 symbol image S7B is displayed (FIGS. 248 (A) to 250 (). A)) On the other hand, in the cutout transparent region of the first display panel 1400a of the frame images of FIGS. 248 to 250, 7 having the same shape at the same position as the back side 7 symbol image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b. The image symbol S7A is displayed. Here, the 7 symbol image S7A displayed on the first display panel 1400a is also referred to as a front 7 symbol image S7A. Further, the portion other than the region where the front 7-symbol image S7A of the cutout region of the first display panel 1400a is displayed is controlled to the transparent state CLR. In the moving image including a series of frame images from FIG. 248 to FIG. 250, the back side 7 symbol image S7B of the second display panel 1400b and the near side 7 symbol image S7A of the first display panel 1400a are enlarged as time passes. Displayed. In one frame image, the rear side 7 symbol image S7B of the second display panel 1400b and the front side 7 symbol image S7A of the first display panel 1400a are displayed at the same position and size as viewed from the player. . In the moving image including a series of frame images from FIG. 248 to FIG. 250, the rear side 7-symbol image S7B of the second display panel 1400b gradually increases the transparency of the constituent pixels with time, that is, the light of the constituent pixels. The transmittance of will increase. As the transparency increases, the ratio of the white backlight arranged on the back side as viewed from the player through the display area of the back side 7 symbol image S7B increases, so the entire back side 7 symbol image S7B is white. The taste and brightness are increased, the contrast of the back 7 symbol image S7B is lowered, and the white image is approached. Incidentally, the complete white image is synonymous with the state controlled to the transparent state CLR. On the other hand, in the moving image including a series of frame images from FIG. 248 to FIG. 250, the near-side 7 symbol image S7A of the first display panel 1400a gradually increases in transparency of the constituent pixels, that is, the constituent pixels. The light transmittance decreases. In other words, the front side 7-symbol image S7A is an image with high transparency and low contrast as shown in FIG. 248 (A) at the beginning of display, but as time passes, FIG. 249 (A) and FIG. As shown to (A), transparency falls and it changes to an image with high contrast.

  In this way, the images (the front side 7) that exactly overlap each other as viewed from the player on both the first display panel 1400a on the near side as viewed from the player and the second display panel 1400b on the far side as viewed from the player. The design image S7A and the back side 7 design image S7B) are respectively displayed. The second display panel 1400b initially displays the image with low transparency, and the first display panel 1400a initially displays the image with high transparency. To do. As described above, as the time passes, the transparency (luminance) of the constituent pixels of the image of the second display panel 1400b is continuously increased, and the transparency of the constituent pixels of the image of the first display panel 1400a is continuously increased. Make it smaller. Then, in the front view image viewed from the player, three symbols appear to gradually emerge from the second display panel 1400b side to the first display panel 1400a side in a three-dimensional manner. Furthermore, in the moving image including a series of frame images from FIG. 248 to FIG. 250, since the image is enlarged and displayed with the passage of time, the image is further combined with the effect due to the continuous change in transparency. It appears to gradually emerge from the second display panel 1400b side to the first display panel 1400a side in three dimensions. In the same frame image, an image obtained by superimposing the front 7 symbol image S7A and the back 7 symbol image S7B, that is, a front view image of the front 7 symbol image S7A and the back 7 symbol image S7B is The transparency of the front side 7 symbol image S7A and the back side 7 symbol image S7B is adjusted so that the density and the contrast are comparable to those of the 7 symbol images stopped in the symbol row 1153a. In addition, in the moving image including the series of frame images from FIGS. 248 to 250, the density and contrast of the front visual images of the front side 7 symbol image S7A and the back side 7 symbol image S7B seem to be almost unchanged. In addition, the transparency of the near side 7 symbol image S7A and the far side 7 symbol image S7B in each frame image is adjusted.

  FIG. 251 shows a frame image immediately after the frame image of FIG. In the first display panel 1400a of the frame image of FIG. 251, the transparency is lowered to the same level as that of the 7 symbol image S7 of the left symbol row 1153a, and the contrast is increased to the same level as that of the 7 symbol image S7 of the left symbol row 1153a. The symbol image S7A is displayed in the cutout region (FIG. 251 (A)). At this point, the front 7 symbol image S7A has been enlarged to the same size as the 7 symbol image S7 in the left symbol row 1153a. As a result, the front 7 symbol image S7A and the 7 symbol image S7 in the left symbol row 1153a are completely the same. On the other hand, in the second display panel 1400b of the frame image in FIG. 251, as a result of the high transparency and the low contrast, the back 7 symbol image S7B is an area completely controlled to the transparent state CLR. That is, at this time, the second display panel 1400b displays the different world background BGA, and inside the different world background BGA, the near side 7 symbol image S7A displayed on the first display panel 1400a and the player see it. The overlapping region is controlled to the transparent state CLR. The visual image shown in FIG. 251 is combined with the effect image displayed on the first display panel 1400a, the near-side 7 symbol image S7A, and the image of the different world background BGA displayed on the second display panel 1400b ( FIG. 251 (C)).

  FIG. 252 shows a frame image immediately after the frame image of FIG. The real-world background image BGB is displayed in the cutout portion transparent area of the first display panel 1400a of the frame image of FIG. (FIG. 252 (A)). The background image BGB is an image that can be recognized as a single background without a sense of incongruity with the background of the effect image displayed from the beginning on the first display panel 1400a. On the other hand, in the second display panel 1400b of the frame image of FIG. 252, the display of the different world background BGA is erased and the whole is controlled to the transparent state CLR (FIG. 252 (B)). The visually recognized image in FIG. 252 is the content of the effect image itself displayed on the first display panel 1400a (FIG. 252 (C)). The decorative symbol 1153 stopped at the center position of the right symbol row 1153c varies from 6 symbols to 7 symbols by the moving image from the frame image of FIG. 238 to the frame image of FIG. 252.

  FIG. 253 shows a frame image immediately after the frame image of FIG. In the first display panel 1400a of the frame image in FIG. 253, the image of the cut line CLN is deleted. In the effect image displayed on the first display panel 1400a, there is a state (so-called reach state) in which the decorative symbols stopped in the left symbol row 1153a and the decorative symbols stopped in the right symbol row 1153c are the same seven symbols. A character (REACH) indicating that the reach state is reached is displayed (FIG. 253 (A)). The visual image of the frame image in FIG. 253 is the content in which the effect image displayed on the first display panel 115a is displayed as it is (FIG. 253 (C)). After that, as will be described in detail later, various reach effect images are subsequently performed.

  According to the cut-out slip effect described above, after the 6-design image S6 is stopped on the first display panel 1400a, the cut-out image TR1 that is an area including the 6-design image S6 is an area effect excluding the cut-out image TR1. It moves and displays as it falls apart from the image. At the same time, the area in which the cutout image TR1 is displayed before the moving display of the cutout image TR1 on the first display panel 1400a and the area where the cutout image TR1 is not currently displayed is controlled to be transparent (FIG. 244 to 247). As a result, the cutout transparent region controlled to be in a transparent state is sequentially enlarged in accordance with the movement display of the cutout image TR1. Then, on the second display panel 1400b, a 7-symbol image S7 different from the 6-symbol image S6 is displayed in the overlapped area as seen from the player and the cutout transparent area of the first display panel 1400a (FIG. 244). Here, the 7-design image S7 on the second display panel 1400b can be visually recognized by the player through the cut-out portion transparent area in the 7-design image S7 as the cut-out portion transparent area on the first display panel 1400a expands. Is displayed at an enlarged position from the upper part of the 7 symbol image S7 (FIGS. 245 and 246), and finally the player visually recognizes the entire 7 symbol image S7 through the cutout transparent region (FIG. 247). As a result, the symbol image visually recognized at the symbol stop position in the right symbol row 1153c as viewed from the player is switched from the six symbol images S6 to the seven symbol images S7. As a result, by utilizing the two display panels arranged in a double manner, it is possible to realize a variable display effect of a new design that is rich in stereoscopic effect and attracts the player's interest. Specifically, the player moves a part of the world represented by the image displayed on the first display panel 1400a (the part including the 6-symbol image S6), and the moved part becomes a hollow, It is possible to make the viewer feel as if the 7-symbol image S7 existing in another world hidden behind is visible. And since the 7 symbol image S7 that exists in another world is replaced with the 6 symbol image S6 that has been displayed so far, the variation of the decorative symbol is displayed, so that the variation of the symbol overflowing with freshness never seen before Can be realized.

  Further, after the 6-symbol image S6 is made the first display panel 1400a, the octopus character image TK is displayed on the second display panel 1400b, and the octopus character image TK is displayed on the first display panel 1400a by the laser emitted. The way of cutting out the world is displayed. In this way, when the character is displayed on the first display panel 1400a while the character is displayed behind the first display panel 1400a, the display content of the liquid crystal display device 1400 can be felt three-dimensionally, and the player continues to expand. Can give you a sense of expectation. In addition, since the character displayed on the second display panel 1400b on the back side displays a cutout of the world displayed on the first display panel 1400a, a unique effect unique to the two display panels is displayed. It is possible to have a further expectation for the development that follows the elderly. In order to exert such effects more effectively, for example, in the effect display corresponding to a fluctuation pattern with a relatively low expectation degree of big hit such as normal reach, the cut-out slip effect is not displayed or the display probability is lowered. It is preferable to suppress, and it is preferable to increase the probability that the cut-out sliding effect is displayed in the effect display corresponding to the fluctuation pattern having a relatively high expectation degree of jackpot, such as a double-sided reach effect described later. Further, in order to exert such effects more effectively, for example, in the effect display corresponding to the fluctuation pattern with a relatively low expectation degree of big hit such as normal reach, the variation of the decorative pattern using only the first display panel 1400a. It is preferable to mainly perform display (such as the above-described effect before establishment of normal reach). That is, the above-described cut-out slip effect is not a big hit of the frequency executed in the fluctuation process corresponding to the jackpot, but the ratio of the frequency executed in the fluctuation process corresponding to the lottery result (lost) (so-called big hit expectation degree of the effect) However, it is preferable to set larger than the normal variation display effect. By doing so, after the player's attention is aroused by the cut-out sliding effect, the percentage of jackpots is increased, and the interest of the gaming machine can be improved.

  Furthermore, according to the special variation display effect, 7 symbols are the same on the first display panel 1400a, and 7 symbols on the second display panel 1400b are overlapped with the 7 symbols on the first display panel 1400a when viewed from the player. In conjunction with the enlargement of the 7-pattern image, the light transmittance of the pixels constituting the 7-pattern image of the first display panel 1400a is reduced and the 7-pattern of the second display panel 1400b is displayed. The light transmittance of the pixels constituting the image is increased (FIGS. 248 to 250). Thereby, it can be expressed in a three-dimensional manner that the 7 symbols come up from the back side toward the near side when viewed from the player.

  Furthermore, after displaying the 6 symbols by cutting them out together with the surrounding images and displaying the natural fall, the display of the 6 symbols is erased. The variation of the decorative symbol in the symbol row 1153c (variation from 6 symbols to 7 symbols) is displayed. As a result, it is possible to provide a novel, three-dimensional, and interesting decoration pattern variation effect using two display panels (the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b).

[Direction after reach formation (reach production)]
[Example of double-sided reach production]
A double-sided reach effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 254 to 261 as an example of a reach effect that is performed after reach is established (for example, after reach is established through continuous effects as shown in FIG. 237). As an example, a description will be given of a double-sided reach effect that is produced and displayed after a 7-character reach is established after a continuous effect when a variation pattern of variation 15 (3D reach → double-sided reach rear surface) is selected. In this variation pattern, after the 3D reach effect is displayed, the double side reach effect is displayed. The 3D reach effect is an effect mainly using an image using 3D graphics. FIGS. 254 to 261 are views showing frame images constituting a moving image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 as the reach effect and a viewing screen viewed from the player. FIG. 254 to FIG. 261 show frame images that are temporally later as the figure number increases. By looking at FIG. Can understand the contents of In other words, FIGS. 254 to 261 show a frame image after several frames of the frame image shown in the previous figure number and a viewing screen (front viewing screen) viewed from the player. Since the double-sided reach effect is performed by making full use of both the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b, FIGS. 254 to 261 show the display contents of the first display panel 1400a. ) Shows the display contents of the second display panel 1400b, and (C) shows the contents expressed by superimposing the display contents of the first display panel 1400a and the display contents of the second display panel 1400b (front view screen). Indicates.

  The peripheral control MPU 4140a starts the 3D reach effect after the reach is established after the continuous effect (FIG. 237) and after a while, the display content of the liquid crystal display device 1400 is whiteout or blacked out. FIG. 254 shows a frame image immediately after the start of the reach effect. When the 3D reach effect is started, the peripheral control MPU 4140a first displays the symbols Y1 and Y2 representing the number “7” on the first display panel 1400a as shown in FIG. 254 (A), respectively. Let In this case, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the character image CR1 and the background image HK1 in an area other than the display portion of the symbol Y1 and the symbol Y2, and more specifically, the character image CR1 indicating a woman drawn in 3D graphics. It shows a state of running along the wall of the background image HK1. Further, as shown in FIG. 254 (B), the peripheral control MPU 4140a controls the second display panel 1400b so that the entire area is in the transparent state CLR (non-display area).

  As described above, as shown in FIG. 254 (C), the symbols Y1 and Y2 can be stopped and displayed to form a reach state on the front view screen. In this way, the display mode indicating the reach state with the symbols Y1 and Y2 is also referred to as a first reach display mode. In addition, although the said 1st reach display mode is formed only with two symbols, in the "first reach display mode", the symbol in the variable display is displayed between the symbols Y1 and Y2. Various display modes are also included.

  Next, 3D reach production develops into double-sided reach production. As shown in FIG. 255A, the peripheral control MPU 4140a controls the left half trapezoidal area (hereinafter also referred to as the left area) to the transparent state CLR on the first display panel 1400a, and the remaining right half stage In the shape area (hereinafter also referred to as the right area), a first reach display mode RC1 in which a symbol Y3 representing a number is displayed between the symbol Y1 and the symbol Y2 is displayed. A background image HK2 and a character image CR2 showing a car are displayed. In the following, on the display panel, a boundary line between a region in the transparent state CLR and a region in which an image (character image CR, background image HK, symbol image, etc.) is displayed is indicated by an edge line ED. Further, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the title TL in a region near the center of the first display panel 1400a and straddling the left region and the right region. This title TL is displayed as “DUAL CHANCE”, which suggests that a double-sided reach effect that is a double reach effect using the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b will be performed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 255 (B), the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays a character image CR3 indicating an octopus in the left area on the second display panel 1400b, and controls the right area to the transparent state CLR. . The peripheral control MPU 4140a performs control so that the portion corresponding to the title TL portion is in the transparent state CLR in the left region. Note that, when the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b are overlapped, the right region and the left region coincide with each other.

  As described above, on the front view screen, as shown in FIG. 255 (C), “DUAL CHANCE” is displayed near the center, and the character image CR2 and the background image HK2 are displayed in the right region together with the first reach mode. Furthermore, the character image CR3 can be shown in the left region.

  Next, the peripheral control MPU 4140a deletes the title TL represented as “DUAL CHANCE” on the first display panel 1400a as shown in FIG. 256 (A).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 256 (B), the peripheral control MPU 4140a causes the second reach display mode RC2 to be displayed on the left side area of the first display panel 1400a on the second display panel 1400b. The second reach display mode RC2 is configured such that the symbol X1 and the symbol X2 representing “8” are stopped and displayed, and the symbol X3 being displayed in a variable manner is displayed between the symbols X1 and X2. The peripheral control MPU 4140a performs control so that the character image CR3 is displayed also in a portion corresponding to the title TL portion in the transparent state CLR in the left region of the first display panel 1400a.

  As described above, on the front view screen, as shown in FIG. 256 (C), the character image CR2 and the background image HK2 can be displayed in the right region together with the first reach display mode RC1, and the left region can be displayed. The character image CR3 can be shown together with the second reach display mode RC2, that is, double reach can be expressed using the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 257 (A), the peripheral control MPU 4140a includes the first reach display mode RC1 and the background in an area including the vicinity of the center (hereinafter also referred to as the center vicinity area) in the first display panel 1400a. The image HK3 is displayed, and an area other than the central vicinity area (hereinafter also referred to as a peripheral area) is controlled to the transparent state CLR. In this case, the peripheral control MPU 4140a is formed such that the central vicinity area where the first reach display mode RC1 and the background image HK3 are displayed is larger (wider) than the peripheral area controlled to the transparent state CLR.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 257 (B), the peripheral control MPU 4140a controls the area near the center to the transparent state CLR in the second display panel 1400b, and the second reach display mode RC2 and the background image are displayed in the peripheral area. HK4 is displayed. In this case, as a matter of course, in the second display panel 1400b, the central vicinity region controlled to the transparent state CLR is larger than the peripheral region in which the second reach display mode RC2 and the background image HK4 are displayed. Note that, when the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b are overlapped, the central vicinity region and the peripheral region thereof coincide with each other.

  As described above, on the front view screen, as shown in FIG. 257 (C), the first reach display mode RC1 can be shown with the background image HK3 as a background in a relatively large area near the center. The second reach display mode RC2 can be shown in the small peripheral area with the background image HK4 as the background.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 258 (A), the peripheral control MPU 4140a stops and displays the symbol Y3 that has been changed in the first reach display mode RC1 of the first display panel 1400a with the numeral “6”. The off symbol combination HZH formed by the symbols Y1, Y2, and Y3 is displayed. In addition, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs control for maintaining the same state as in FIG. 257 (B) in the second display panel 1400b as shown in FIG. 258 (B).

  As described above, on the front view screen, as shown in FIG. 258 (C), the background image HK3 can be displayed as a background in the relatively large area near the center, and the symbol combination HZH can be shown and is relatively small. The second reach display mode RC2 can be shown in the peripheral area with the background image HK4 as the background.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 259 (A), the peripheral control MPU 4140a includes the outlier symbol combination HZH and the trapezoidal region at the lower right corner (hereinafter also referred to as the lower right corner region) on the first display panel 1400a. The background image HK5 is displayed, and most of the region other than the lower right corner region (hereinafter, also referred to as the most region) is controlled to the transparent state CLR. In this case, the peripheral control MPU 4140a is formed so that the most area controlled to the transparent state CLR is larger (wider) than the lower right corner area where the off symbol combination HZH or the background image HK5 is displayed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 259 (B), the peripheral control MPU 4140a controls the lower right one corner area to the transparent state CLR in the second display panel 1400b, and the second reach display mode RC2 and the most area. The background image HK6 is displayed. In this case, of course, in the second display panel 1400b, the most area for displaying the second reach display mode and the background image HK6 is larger than the right-side corner area controlled to the transparent state CLR. Note that, when the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b are overlapped, the right-side corner area and the most area match each other.

  In this way, on the front view screen, as shown in FIG. 259 (C), the background image HK5 can be shown as the background in the relatively small lower right corner area, and the symbol combination HZH can be shown relatively large. The second reach display mode RC2 can be shown in most areas with the background image HK6 as the background.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 260A, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs control for maintaining the same state as that in FIG. 259A in the first display panel 1400a. In addition, the peripheral control MPU 4140a stops and displays the symbol X3 that has been changed in the second reach display mode RC2 of the second display panel 1400b with the numeral “8”, and the symbols X1, X2, and X3 have the same number. The jackpot symbol combination OZH expressed by expressing is displayed. That is, the jackpot symbol combination OZH is displayed at the symbol stop positions of the left symbol row 1153a, the middle symbol row 1153b, and the right symbol row 1153c as a display for finally notifying the player of the jackpot.

  As described above, on the front view screen, as shown in FIG. 260 (C), the outlier symbol combination HZH can be shown in the relatively small lower right corner area with the background image HK5 as the background and is relatively large. In most regions, the jackpot symbol combination OZH can be shown with the background image HK6 as the background.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 261 (A), the peripheral control MPU 4140a moves the jackpot symbol combination OZH and the background image HK6 displayed on the second display panel 1400b until immediately before to the entire area of the first display panel 1400a. To confirm. Further, as shown in FIG. 261 (B), the peripheral control MPU 4140a controls the second display panel 1400b so that the entire area is in the transparent state CLR (non-display area).

  As described above, on the front view screen, as shown in FIG. 261 (C), the jackpot symbol combination OZH can be shown with the background image HK6 as the background.

  The main control MPU 4100a controls the jackpot game by controlling the attacker solenoid 2016 and the like after the peripheral control MPU 4140a notifies the player of the jackpot symbol combination OZH as shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the double-sided reach effect, the second display panel 1400b disposed so as to overlap the first display panel 1400a is disposed on the back side of the first display panel 1400a when viewed from the player, and the peripheral control is performed. Since the MPU 4140a performs display on these two display panels, an attractive and three-dimensional display effect can be performed.

  Further, as described above, in the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the first reach display mode RC1 on the first display panel 1400a and the second reach display mode RC2 on the second display panel 1400b. Are displayed to form a double reach. In this way, the two reach display modes can have a sense of depth, and a reach effect with a dynamic feeling can be performed.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the first reach display mode RC1 on the first display panel 1400a and also displays the second reach display mode RC2 on the second display panel 1400b to double reach. After the formation, the symbols changing in the reach display mode are stopped and displayed in order. In this way, the double reach effect can be expressed in an easy-to-understand manner for the player, and the expectation of the double reach effect can be improved.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs display control so that the area near the center where the first reach display mode RC1 is displayed is larger than the peripheral area where the second reach display mode RC2 is displayed on the front view screen. Then, when the symbols in the first reach display mode RC1 are stopped and displayed, the first reach display mode RC1 is displayed on the first display panel 1400a and the second reach display mode RC2 is displayed on the second display panel 1400b. (Refer to FIG. 257, 258, etc.). If it does in this way, it can express that the 1st reach display mode RC1 is a production object by the feeling of depth which arises between the 1st reach display mode RC1 and the 2nd reach display mode RC2. A sense of urgency can be given to the stop display operation of the changing symbol in the display mode RC1. As a result, a realistic reach production can be expressed.

  Furthermore, in the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a stops and displays the changing symbol in the first reach display mode RC1 to display the off symbol combination HZH (see FIG. 258). After the display control is performed so that the area (peripheral area) where the two reach display mode RC2 is shown is larger than the area (right side corner area) where the outlier symbol combination HZH is shown, in the second reach display mode RC2, The symbols are stopped and displayed (see FIGS. 259, 261, etc.). In this way, after the production of the first reach display mode RC1, it is possible to promptly appeal to the player that the production target has shifted to the second reach display mode RC2, and it is easy for the player to understand. Reach production can be provided. In addition, a sense of urgency can be imparted to the stop display operation of the changing symbol in the second reach display mode RC2, and a realistic reach effect can be expressed.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the displayed big hit symbol combination OZH on the second display panel 1400b using the entire area of the first display panel 1400a as shown in FIG. I try to let them. In this way, it is possible to accurately notify the player of the jackpot, and it is possible to prompt the player to prepare for the jackpot game.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a stops and displays the changing symbols in the first reach display mode RC1 on the first display panel 1400a to display the off symbol combination HZH (see FIG. 258). The second reach display mode RC2 is displayed on the second display panel 1400b while the off symbol combination HZH is displayed on the first display panel 1400a (see FIG. 259). In this way, it is possible to express that the second reach display mode RC2 is a production target, and it is possible to notify the player that the first reach production in the double reach has ended and that it has been lost. Further, in this case, a sense of depth can be generated between the off symbol combination HZH and the second reach display mode RC2, and the second reach display mode RC2 performed deeper than the off symbol combination HZH can be further emphasized. Can do. As a result, the reach effect of the second reach display mode RC2 can be dynamically expressed.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a causes the first display panel 1400a to display the detachment symbol combination HZH and the second display panel 1400b to display the second reach display mode RC2. (See FIG. 259). In this case, the display area of the off symbol combination HZH on the first display panel 1400a is displayed smaller than the display area of the second reach display mode RC2 on the second display panel 1400b. In this way, it is possible to notify the player that the first reach effect in the double reach has ended and the game has been lost without disturbing the reach effect of the second reach display mode RC2.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the second reach display mode RC2 on the second display panel 1400b while displaying the symbol combination HZH on the first display panel 1400a (see FIG. 259). In addition, while the display of the off symbol combination HZH is continued, the changing symbol in the second reach display mode RC2 is stopped and displayed so that the jackpot symbol combination OZH is displayed (see FIG. 260). In this way, it is possible to express that the second reach effect in the double reach is a big hit, and the first reach effect in the double reach is completed, and it is possible to notify the player that the game has been lost. In this case, a sense of depth can be generated between the missed symbol combination HZH and the jackpot symbol combination OZH, and the jackpot symbol combination OZH displayed at the back of the missed symbol combination HZH can be further emphasized. As a result, the jackpot symbol combination OZH can be dynamically notified to the player.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the first reach display mode RC1 on the first display panel 1400a and the second reach display mode RC2 on the second display panel 1400b when the double reach state is formed. (See FIG. 257), the first reach display mode RC1 is cut (omitted) by cutting (omitting) a part of the changing symbol Y3 that is changing to the extent that the first reach display mode RC1 can be identified. It is made to display. In this way, the display area of the first reach display mode RC1 can be made compact in the first display panel 1400a, and various other game effects can be provided in the first display panel 1400a or the second display panel 1400b. It is possible to secure a display space to be performed. In particular, as described above, when the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b are used and the display area of these two panels is dynamically expanded or reduced, the display space is effectively reduced. Can be secured.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the first reach display mode RC1 on the first display panel 1400a and the second reach display mode RC2 on the second display panel 1400b when the double reach state is formed. (See FIG. 257), in the second reach display mode RC2, a part of the symbol X2 in the stopped state is cut (omitted) and displayed to the extent that the second reach display mode RC2 can be identified. I am letting. In this way, the display area of the second reach display mode RC2 can be made compact in the second display panel 1400b, and various other game effects can be provided on the first display panel 1400a or the second display panel 1400b. It is possible to secure a display space to be performed. In particular, as described above, when the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b are used and the display area of these two panels is dynamically expanded or reduced, the display space is effectively reduced. Can be secured.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the second reach display mode RC2 on the second display panel 1400b after the double reach state is formed (see FIG. 257), and the first display panel 1400a disengages the symbol combination HZH. In this case, a part of the symbol Y3 in the stopped state in the off symbol combination HZH is cut (omitted) so that it can be identified that the off symbol combination HZH is formed. (See FIGS. 258 and 259). In this way, it is possible to make the display area of the off symbol combination HZH compact in the first display panel 1400a. For example, as described above, the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b are used. Thus, when performing various game effects on the first display panel 1400a or the second display panel 1400b, such as when the display area of these two panels is dynamically expanded or reduced, a display space should be secured. Is possible.

  In the double-sided reach effect described above, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the second reach display mode RC2 on the second display panel 1400b after the double reach state is formed (see FIG. 257), and the first display panel 1400a disengages the symbol combination HZH. In this case, a part of the symbol X2 in the stopped state in the second reach display mode RC2 is cut (omitted) to the extent that it can be identified that the second reach display mode RC2 is formed. Are displayed (see FIGS. 258 and 259). This makes it possible to make the display area of the second reach display mode RC2 compact in the second display panel 1400b. For example, as described above, the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b To secure display space when performing various game effects on the first display panel 1400a or the second display panel 1400b, such as when the display area of these two panels is dynamically expanded or reduced using It becomes possible to do.

  As described above, an example of the reach effect has been described, but the reach effect displayed after the continuous effect is a reach effect with a relatively high expectation level. In the present embodiment, in the order of low jackpot expectation, “reach starting with long reach (FIG. 204: number 2 to 6)”, “reach starting with 3D reach (FIG. 204: number 7 to 19)”, “live action reach” Reach that starts (FIG. 204: Numbers 20 to 33) ”and“ Reach that starts from the introduction video (Numbers 34 to 42) ”. Then, as can be seen from the distribution in FIG. 204, after three consecutive performances, the development of “reach that starts with long reach (FIG. 204: number 2 to 6)” is denied, and “reach that starts with 3D reach (FIG. 204). 204: Numbers 7 to 19) "or more, the development to reach production with a high expectation degree of jackpot is determined. Furthermore, after four consecutive productions, the development to reach productions that have a higher expectation level than “reach that starts with live-action reach (FIG. 204: numbers 20 to 33)” or higher is determined.

  As described above, according to the continuous effect of the present embodiment described above, the reach prevention effect display, which is the effect display for blocking the reach, is displayed immediately before the reach that is originally expected by the player is established. When the prevention effect success display is displayed, the continuous production is developed or continued, and when the reach prevention effect failure display is displayed, reach is established. Then, the greater the number of successful display of reach prevention effects, the greater the number of continuous effects. And as the number of continuous performances increases, there is a high possibility that the fluctuation will eventually lead to a jackpot game. As a result, when an effect display pattern other than the continuous effect of the present embodiment is displayed, the player first desires the establishment of the reach so that the reach expectation with a high expectation is displayed. The game is played while watching, but when the effect display pattern of the continuous effect of this embodiment is displayed, the effect display is performed so that the reach prevention effect display is successful, that is, the hope that the reach is not established. You will play while watching the pattern. As a result, the player can play the game in exactly the opposite thinking state between the change in which the effect display pattern other than the continuous effect of the present embodiment is displayed and the change in which the effect display pattern of the continuous effect of the present embodiment is displayed. Will be. As a result, it is possible to suppress the loss of interest in the game by activating the player's head, and to suppress the player from feeling bored. Further, it is possible to make the player play a game with an unprecedented emotion, and it is possible to realize a fresh and attractive presentation display.

  Furthermore, in the continuous production of this embodiment, the message MA indicating that “reach is not good” is displayed immediately after the reach is established, and then the reach prevention display is displayed. The player can be promptly guided to the emotion “Don't reach!”. As a result, the first-time player can fully enjoy the continuous performance of this embodiment.

  In addition, since the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 and the liquid crystal display device 1400 cooperate to perform the reach prevention effect display and the reach prevention success effect display, the power of the continuous effect of the present embodiment is improved and the big hit Can expect the expectation of

  Furthermore, as the number of successful reach prevention effects increases, the variation pattern with continuous effects is distributed so that the probability of finally obtaining a jackpot game is increased. As the number of times of playing increases, the player will have a fresh feeling of “Don't reach!”, Which is a fresh feeling for the player, and will be able to play games with an unprecedented feeling. As a result, it is possible to provide a game that is fresher and more attractive to the player by further restraining the player from feeling bored.

[Modification of continuous production]
・ First modification:
With reference to FIGS. 262 to 263, a first modification of the continuous effect will be described. In the first modification, the player is prompted to press the main button 371 of the operation button unit 370 together with the message “Prevent the establishment of reach!” Before displaying the above-described reach prevention effect display shown in FIG. A display BTN is displayed. The main button 371 of the operation button unit 370 functions as one of instruction receiving means for receiving an instruction from the player. When the player presses the main button 371, as shown in FIG. 263, a reach prevention effect display in which the upper middle movable decorative body 3501 and the display (such as a small explosion) on the first display panel 1400a cooperate is displayed. You can go. In this way, the player can press the main button 371 with a feeling of “Don't reach reach!” Or make it hit repeatedly, so that the player's feeling of uplifting can be enhanced and the player can be more immersed in the game. it can.

  If the player does not press the main button 371 even though the continuous production is scheduled to continue, a reach prevention display is displayed after a predetermined time, and then a reach prevention production success display is displayed. You may go and continue the continuous production. Alternatively, if the player does not press the main button 371 even though the continuous production is scheduled to continue, a display that ends the continuous production and establishes the reach is scheduled to be used for the continuous production. In order to earn time for the continuous production, the change time of the symbol of the middle symbol row 1153b in the reach production after the reach is established may be lengthened, and the total change time may be adjusted to the scheduled change time. In this way, if the player does not press the main button 371, the continuous production is not performed as scheduled, so the player can not predict the jackpot expectation of the production display pattern, and can not fully enjoy the game. The player presses the main button 371 to actively participate in the game. As a result, the player can actively participate in the game to enhance the sense of excitement of the game, and the player can be more enthusiastic about the game.

・ Second modification:
In the above embodiment, only the continuous effect for performing the reach prevention effect display has been described. However, in the above embodiment, in addition to the continuous effect for performing the reach prevention effect display, other types of continuous effects can be easily performed, and a plurality of types of continuous effects can be easily performed. Production may be used. In this case, when the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives from the main control board 4100 a command indicating that it is a variable type that should display a continuous effect such as “2” or “3”, the peripheral control MPU 4140a draws a lottery. Decide which kind of continuous production to perform, and perform the continuous production. Alternatively, the peripheral control MPU 4140a may determine the type of continuous effect as the variation type and transmit a command including information indicating the type of continuous effect and the number of continuous effects to the peripheral control board 4140.

  As another type of continuous production, after a variable display, a combination of symbols representing a so-called chance eye is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row 1153a, the middle symbol row 1153b, and the right symbol row 1153c, and then the so-called chance eye simulation is repeated. After the display of the symbols and the change, the decorative symbol that is stopped at the moment when the same decorative symbol is stopped and displayed on the left symbol row 1153a and the right symbol row 1153c is moved downward (slide-displayed) at high speed, and then the left symbol row 1153a. In addition, there is a so-called smooth pseudo-ream which repeats the variable display again after stopping and displaying the symbol combinations that deviate from the middle symbol row 1153b and the right symbol row 1153c, or the symbol combination representing the chance eye. In the Chance eyes pseudo-rendition, the player watches the continuous production with the feeling "Stop again at the chance eyes!" As you watch, you can enjoy the game with different feelings with the continuous effect that displays the reach prevention effect of this embodiment, so you can enjoy the game with various emotions to the player by using multiple types of continuous effects And making the player feel bored.

・ Third modification:
The reach prevention effect display, the reach prevention success effect display, and the reach prevention failure effect display are not limited to the aspects of the above-described embodiment, and various aspects can be used. For example, in FIG. 218, the reach prevention display effect display may indicate that a character such as a person tries to lift up the decorative symbol S2 that is about to descend to the symbol stop position in the right symbol row 1153c. good. In this case, for example, the reach prevention success effect display indicates that the decorative symbol S2 is lifted by the character and disappears from the upper end of the first display panel 1400a. It may be displayed that the character is crushed by the decorative symbol S2, and as a result, the decorative symbol S2 descends to the symbol stop position and stops.

-Fourth modification:
Although the continuous effect of the above embodiment is performed using only the first display panel 1400a, it may be performed using the second display panel 1400b, or between the first display panel 1400a and the second display panel 1400b. It may be performed using both. For example, the decorative symbol change display and stop display may be performed on the first display panel 1400a, and the display portion other than the decorative symbol display portion of the first display panel 1400a may be controlled to the transparent state CLR. Then, on the second display panel 1400b, even if a character such as a person from the back uses a weapon or the like to display as a reach prevention effect display that attempts to destroy the decorative symbol displayed on the first display panel 1400a. good. By doing so, it is possible to realize a three-dimensional continuous effect as seen from the player, and to realize a fresh and attractive continuous effect.

-5th modification:
In the continuous effect of the above embodiment, the decorative symbols are semi-transparent in the symbol rows (a part and all of the left symbol row 1153a, the middle symbol row 1153b, and the right symbol row 1153c) on which the high-speed variation display of the decorative symbols is performed. It may be displayed, or instead of the high-speed fluctuation display, the display of the decorative pattern may be erased. Then, the decorative pattern may be displayed when shifting from the high-speed fluctuation display to the low-speed fluctuation display. In this continuous effect, a live action or CG effect of the character is performed on the background image. However, such an effect can be easily seen by the player by displaying the decorative pattern during high-speed fluctuation display semi-transparently or by erasing it. There are benefits.

-6th modification:
In the case where a continuous effect is performed in the variation that is reserved, an effect may be performed in which the player is notified in advance that the continuous effect is performed in the variation that is reserved in the previous variation. For example, the main control MPU 4100a determines in advance that a continuous effect will be performed in the variation that is being held, and transmits that fact to the peripheral control MPU 4140a (so-called prefetching). Then, when the fluctuation immediately before the fluctuation in which the continuous effect is performed is a normal fluctuation (for example, FIG. 207, number 126) in which reach is not established, the peripheral control MPU 4140a The middle movable decorative body 3501 may be rotated so as to be visible to the player, and may be moved as if the reach is being warned.

-Seventh modification:
In the above-described continuous production, the maximum of the number of continuous productions is four times, but is not limited thereto. For example, you may perform a continuous production 5 times. In the above-described embodiment, after 5 consecutive effects, for example, a so-called full-rotation effect may be displayed to win a premium jackpot.

-Eighth modification:
In addition, in the above-mentioned continuous production, the fluctuation pattern and the fluctuation type are distributed so that the jackpot probability increases as the number of continuous productions increases. In addition to or instead of this, as the number of continuous productions of continuous productions increases. It is preferable to increase the probability of jackpots with jackpot types with more benefits for the player. For example, in this embodiment, the jackpot A, E (there is a lottery, a probable change after hitting the jackpot) is the jackpot type with the most benefits for the player, so the jackpots A, E are increased as the number of consecutive consecutive performances increases. It is preferable to distribute the variation pattern and the variation type so that the probability of winning a big hit is increased. In this way, it is possible to make the player have a stronger feeling that the reach prevention effect display is successful in the continuous production, and to make this continuous production important and awaiting for the player.

-Ninth modification:
In addition to the above-described aspect 1, the following aspects may be adopted as the aspect of the gaming machine that realizes the above-described continuous performance.
[Aspect 2]
The gaming machine according to aspect 1 above,
The specific effect display pattern further includes:
After step (a) and before step (d),

In this way, after displaying that “reach is not good”, a reach prevention effect display is performed, so the player has a fresh feeling “reach is not established!” Can promptly guide the player. As a result, the first-time player can fully enjoy the continuous performance of this embodiment.
[Aspect 3]
The gaming machine according to aspect 1 above,
The reach prevention effect display is a display of trying to destroy the symbols constituting the specific combination to be stopped at a position other than the final stop position among the plurality of positions.
The reach prevention success display is a display in which the symbols constituting the specific combination are destroyed,
The reach prevention failure effect display is a gaming machine in which the symbols constituting the specific combination are not destroyed.
By doing this, it is possible to perform reach prevention effect display, reach prevention success effect display, and reach prevention failure effect display in a powerful and easy-to-understand manner for the player.
[Aspect 4]
The gaming machine according to aspect 1 further includes:
An instruction receiving means for receiving an instruction from a player;
The specific effect display pattern further includes:
After step (a) and before step (d),
(G) including a step of prompting the player to input an instruction using the instruction receiving means,
A gaming machine that performs the step (d) when the instruction is received through the instruction receiving means.
In this way, the player can be actively involved in the game, and the player can enjoy the game more.

[Modified example of clipped sliding effect]
・ First modification:
In the above embodiment, before the moving display of the cut-out image TR1 is performed on the first display panel 1400a, the 7-graphic image S7B is displayed on the second display panel 1400b so that the player can visually recognize the cut-out image TR1. Although the display is performed (FIG. 244), the 7-design image S7B may not be displayed on the second display panel 1400b in advance. Specifically, similarly to the different world background BGA, in the second display panel 1400b, the 7-symbol image S7B may be displayed only in an area overlapping with the cutout transparent area of the first display panel 1400a. Specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 245, only the upper part of the area where the 7-symbol image S7B is to be displayed on the second display panel 1400b overlaps with the cutout transparent area of the first display panel 1400a. Only the upper part of the 7-symbol image S7B may be displayed on the second display panel 1400b, and the other area where the 7-symbol image S7B is to be displayed may be controlled to the transparent state CLR. Then, in the second display panel 1400b, in accordance with the enlargement of the transparent area of the first display panel 1400a, the displayed part of the 7-symbol image S7B is sequentially increased, as shown in FIG. The entire 7-symbol image S7B may be displayed on the second display panel 1400b when the entire region where the design image S7B is to be displayed overlaps the cutout transparent region of the first display panel 1400a. However, as in the embodiment, before the moving display of the clipped image TR1 is performed, the 7-design image S7B is displayed on the second display panel 1400b so that the player can visually recognize the clipped image TR1. Then, the player can recognize in advance that some decoration image has emerged on the back side of the 6-symbol image S6. be able to. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from overlooking the fall effect of the cut-out image TR1, which is a showcase of the cut-out effect.

-2nd modification;
In the above embodiment, the clipped image TR1 is moved and displayed downward so as to fall naturally, but is not limited thereto. For example, the clipped image TR1 may be moved and displayed in the right direction or the left direction as if it was blown by the wind. Conceptually speaking, it is only necessary to move and display a predetermined area including a decorative pattern to be changed with respect to other areas excluding the predetermined area.

・ Third modification:
In the above embodiment, after moving the cutout image TR1 on the first display panel 1400a, the 7-pattern image S7B is displayed in the area on the second display panel 1400b that overlaps the area where the cutout image TR1 existed before the movement. ing. Then, after the 7-symbol image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b is displayed on the first display panel 1400a (FIGS. 248 to 252), the reach is established, but instead, before the movement When the 7-symbol image S7B is displayed in the area on the second display panel 1400b that overlaps the area where the cut-out image TR1 existed, the reach establishment may be displayed. In this case, a series of effect display (FIGS. 248 to 252) for transferring the 7-symbol image S7B displayed on the second display panel 1400b to the first display panel 1400a may be omitted.

-Fourth modification:
In the cut-out slip effect in the above embodiment, the reach is established after the effect, but the reach may not be established. Further, the change from the 6 symbols to the 7 symbols is an example, and it is natural that the method of the above embodiment and the first modification can be applied to the variation of all kinds of decorative symbols.

-5th modification:
The method of enlarging the symbol image (FIGS. 248 to 252) in the above embodiment and the first modification is not limited to the decorative display variation display effect, but is applied to other display objects displayed on the effect display device 115 of the gaming machine. Is also applicable. Other objects to be displayed can include all things, letters, numbers, designs, and characters.

-6th modification:
The method of enlarging the symbol image in the embodiment is not limited to the effect display during the variation process, and may be used for any effect displayed using the liquid crystal display device 1400 of the gaming machine.
